GROWING FEWERSPEAKERS OF GAELIC

The extent to which Gaelic is declin-ing in Scotland as spoken languageis disclosed in the preliminary reporton the census in Scotland, says theLondon "Daily Telegraph."

In 1891 speakers of Gaelic formed6.32 per cent, of the Scottish popula-tion. This year only 2.84 per cent, ofthe people were returned as Gaelicspeakers.

The number of Gaelic speakers inIScotland is now 137,149. Of these 7069

speak Gaelic only, while 130,080 speak'both Gaelic and English. . ,I Compared with the corresponding re-[ turns at the census of 1921, Gaelic

speakers are 21,630fewer, those ableto speak Gaelic onlyfewer by 276.0,andthose able to speak both Gaelic andEnglish 18,870 fewer.

The Gaelic-only speakers' numbered43,738in 1891;by 1901 they had fallento 18,400,and by 1911 to 9829. In 1891the bi-linguists numbered 210,677, by1911' they had declined to 183,998.

The 7069 speakers of Gaelic only arefound in the counties of Boss and Cro-mai (3435), Inverness (3123), andArgyll (335). Only 176 are found inother counties.

In Boss and Cromarty 55 per cent, ofthe population are returned aa able toapeak Gaelic, in Sutherland 42.2 percent., in Inverness 42.1 per eeat,, andin Argyll 33.7 per cent. j

In casting a glance backwards overthe last few days my inner eye be-comes dazzledi by a kaleidoscope ofworld-famousnames. It really is amaz-ing. It is a case of keeping one's headwith the tenacity with which one holdson to one's hat in a high wind. Inci-dentally, it is all very bracing. Iknowof no better, tonic than that affordedby the presence of these zestful per-sonalities of genius. Let us glance atbut a few of the great names whichhave appeared before London duringthis past week. Ida Bubenstein andMaurice Eavel :at Covent Garden;Eugene Gopsens, Constant Lambert,Mme. Suggia, Augustus John, Mme.Nikitina, Harriet Cohen, Cecil Bea-ton, at the brilliant Cambridge Theatrematinee in aid of the Marie Curie Hos-pital; Jelly d'Aranyi, Adila Faehiri,Donald Francis Tovey, and Sir HenryWood upon the momentous occasion ofthe Joachim centenary concert at theQueen's Hall. Swinging from one ex-citement to another with commendableagility, I have managed to attend allthese notable affairs. Let us beginwith a glimpseat CoventGarden. •SEASON OF BALLETS.

Mme. Ida Bubenstein, the famousBussian actress and dancer, began herfirst English season at Covent Garden,Straight from Paris she came, trailing,not only clouds of gloryj but her owncorps de ballet, dramatic company,scenes and costumes as well. A teidays' season; two plays, eleven ballets,beginning with the first and only performance of Debussy's unknown mas'terpiece, "Le Martyre de Saint Sebasltian," which was written for Ida Hubenstein by the famous Italian poetplaywright, and novelist, Gabrieled'Annunzio, at whose instigation Debussy wrote the music. And that ifnot aIL Mme. Bubenstein is perform'ing not only to works of composers likeHonegger, Tcherpnine, Darius, Milhaudand Sauguet; she is dancing Bavel'ifamous"Bolero" and "La Valse" aswell, and has been the means of Eavecoming to London to conduct theseworks in person at Covent Garden.

Upon the second night of the seaaoi—the great occasion of Bavel's first appearance—we are discoveredaway up itthe proudfront row of the amphitheatrestalls, gazing"down on the glowingcrimson well of the Royal OperaHouse. Crimson seats, carpets, boxes,curtains; crimson-striped walls; fouigreat horseshoe tiers of crimson—grandcircle, boxes, balcony Btalls, amphi-theatre stalls, and above this again, oneither side,' the straight strip of thegallery,where gaygroups lean over andchat with friends below. The centreroof is studded with lights—a giganticgreen umbrella with gay spokes ofgold.

GREAT.NAMES.; Below, our eyes rest gratefully uponclusters of pink-shaded lights, andrather excitedly upon gleaming satins,pastel velvets, diamonds, ermine, dazz-ling arms and shoulders,burnished andsilver heads, which glow and sparkleand gleamlike a great cluster of jewelsin a crimson, casket. An. indefinableperfume—is it sandalwood?—stealeupon the air. . . . An alluring cur-tain-raiser—Covent ' Garden! Whatglorious ghosts are here, thrillingljhaunting its many ways! My mindwanders deliciously down through thepast while I people these boxes andcircles and stalls; the orchestra pitand the mysterious regions behind thatgreat curtain, with a host of famousand colourful personalities.

The music begins. Gorgeous, stirringmusic. The curtain rises on the firstballet: "La Princess©Cygne," whichhas been adapted from Bimsky-Korsa-kov's "Tsar Sultan." Sea and sky,and a rocky cove; A group of lovelyphosphorescent maidens in a magiccircle. Here is a love-struck, fairy-tale boy, and here a snow-white swan,sparkling with a thousand drops ofspray—Bubenstein herself, who floatsand flits in an airy-fairy fantasy andweaves her white arms into enchantedwings. She is an enchanted princess.

A IWJSSIAN PALACE.SceneIL presents a Bussian palace

and a riot of orange and black andterra-cotta and gold. We gazedown ona fairy-tale come true—towers andcupolas, an archway giving on to acourtyard, pennants flying, pathways'ofgold, and all the Bussian world and hiswife flaunting richly-wrought costumesof scarlet and green androse aidblack.Soldiersin silver blue, with spears andhelmets of Bilver, haughtily swingtheir long golden capes. An intoxicat-ing, wild stampede of Bussian dancersupon the brick-red courtyard., Every-thing deliriously whirling and swirlingand posturing and pirouetting—themusic, the fairy-tale boy, the enchant-ed bird, and all that orgy of colour andlight and rhythm that is the Bussianballet. The plot? It does not matter.A course of true love that ends in_ aromantic tower, where we see La Prin-cesse Cygne and her wooer united intrue fairy-tale fashion. Creepingshadows. A mauve light dims 'the de-serted courtyard. The story is over.And they lived happily ever after.

From a swan princess Mme. Buben-stein is miraculouslytransformed,in thenext ballet, into "David," who re-stores Solomonto sanity, kills Goliathwith sling and stone, and is borne aloftin triumph upon the giant's enormousshield. The ballet "David," withmusic by Sauguet and choreography byMassine, is designed by M. Benois, intheBotticelli manner, and the stage re-presentations are exquisite in their per-fection of detail and in the mythical-classical,"religioso" atmosphere whichthey maintain. Beyond three gracefularchways we glimpse mountainousrocks crowned by the turrets of acastle; palm trees silhouetted againsta luminous sky; and immediatelybeforeuswe find, in a mosaic of beauty, dan-cers in orange robes; a soldier in' mailand silver; a crown of white and gold;a scarlet shield against a uniform ofblue; crimson curtains behind thethrone; David in blue, a wreath of sil-ver leaves about his hair, and a wholepotpourri of golden spears, diaphan-ous draperies, costumes of red, yellow,blue, green, orange, glittering breast-plates and helmets; all moving to themusic of Sauguet and the rhythm ofthe dance.

BUFFET.In the lengthy interval between

"David" and Bavel's "Bolero," Cov-ent Gardengoesa visiting, not only to.the boxes,but to the buffets. We leavethe amphitheatre stalls and fall in witha cheerfulmedley of talk, smoke, laugh- jter. A gesture or so, a step or two, |whistled snatches of Bimsky-Korsakov,the clink of coin and glass, the poppingof corks, tall glasses of golden ale, tinygoblets of ruby red wine, the fizzinggush with which soda meets its spirit,the cool innocence of lemon squash \which we absorb by means of the elon-gated straw—this is the buffet.- Thebuffet lure is a lure indeed,for here onemay.meet, as on this occasion,fascin-ating people in sandals and bare feet, |green shirts and purple ties, blazers ofpastel blue, and hair which hath acreeping fondnessfor the neck. Some-how these fictional characters neverseem to sit beside one in the theatre or

I concert hall; but the buffet is TonTiddler'B ground.! And now—"Bolero" and.BaveL W<strain forward to catch,a'glimpse ©1him as he enters. But it is of no useHe waits until the lights are loweredand suddenly we see a neat head andshoulders silhouetted against the musulight on the conductor's desk. Tw«raised arms. The pagan throb of theopening bars of the "Bolero," and onthe stage a scene that makes us, catchour breath with wonder. For there,under a great golden, light,and movingprovocatively to the barbaric pianis-simo of the music, is Eubenstein, in-«Spanish frock of yellow patterned inblack. Bed roses adorn her hair. Bedroses sway insinuatinglywith the slowtwirl of her flouncedskiTt. All aroundthe giganticoctagonal table upon whichshe dances lean brigandish figures inpicturesque Spanish attire. Bed scarves,round swarthy heads,brown velvet jac-kets and white sleeves,wide-brimmedsombreros,sashes of green and blackand scarlet, above which gleam th«handels of stilettos. In the back-ground dim arches,mysterious shadowsand the drab grey of rocky walls sug-gest an underground dive or cellar, andthe stage is set for the unhurried andrelentless crescendo of the "Bolero." •TASCINATIOK.

The measured inevitability, of thfjmusic possesses a kind of hypnotic at*traction. There is a fatal fascination:about it. You feel yourself being drawnirresistibly into the power of thatmonotonous rhythm. The dancers feelthis too, for gradually they come t»life and while theystill hold the secdnc-tive one in a tense and fascinated re*gard, they proceed to clap to tl»rhythm of these Spanish-Arabian airs.Softly at first, and then louder, louder,louder. . . . Now a bold one takesthe floor; sow another, and another,until the entire "table" is filled witKthese brigand-like dancers. Against thesquare of his desk lightwe see Bavel'sarms jerking out the beat with strong,decisive strokes which become more andmore compelling as the music rises o*its long crescendo.

Jealousy—The stilettos flash, underthe light—Thesiren dances tauntingly^flauntinglyon. She ia awakened sow*What a climax! "With a superb ges-ture, the Spaniards drive the points oftheir daggers into the table and roundthe quivering handles she dances alone*The curtain falls, rises, and here, witSEubenstein,is Bavel, bowing and bow«ing again. Clean-shttven, thick greyjhair swept flatly back from anintellec-tual forehead, a trim figure. Th» enrrtaittjfalls, much to hisrelief. He couldnot escape in the end, yon see. Andnow on to fresh fields and pasture*new—the Cambridge Matinee and th»Joachim Centenary. But that ia »"other story.

DIFFICULT YEAR

PRIMARY PRODUCERS

NEED FOR HARD WORK

The difficulties which have faced thtprimaryproducers of theDominion dm»ing the pastyear are referred to in tbs)annual report of the Minister of AgrS*cultue (the Hon. A. J. Murdoch), pre-sented to Parliament yesterday:— ~,,.

"Notwithstanding difficult workingconditions due to the necessity for econ-omy, the varied, services of_ the De-partmentfor the agricultural industrieshave been well and efficiently main*tamed," says Mr. Murdoch. "On th«scientific side much valuable work isrecorded from the plant research,station at Palmerston North, while thfWallaceville Veterinary Laboratory re-port indicates a keen attack on animalhealth problems, in keeping with sim-ilar work overseas. The chemistry or- ■ganisation continues to do"most usefullwork, particularly in connection witksoil and pasture deficiency- investiga-.tions.

"In all this scientific work clos*touch is maintained with the relatedImperial Agricultural Besearch. Bn?Teaux and overseas research centres Iwish to acknowledge with, much ap-preciation the valuable grants made: by. ' .the Empire Marketing Board towardsthe cost of various important investi-'gations. Never has agricultural re-search been of greater moment than atpres.ent, and it may be fairly claimed.that the Department is giving a goodreturn for the expenditure by practical,application of the knowledge gained. ."A feature of the past agriculturalyear has been a continued increase im,production of most of our primarystaples. On the other hand, a sub-stantial decline in the Dominion*•sheep-stock is recorded after a seriesof years marked by rapidly increasingnumbers. This - check, however, may,be largely ascribed to causes capableof rectification.' Arable production:was satisfactory in general, despiteweather handicaps,a fact which reflectsimprovedfarmingpractice, based large-ly in the Department's experimentalwork and advice.

"On the marketing side our agricnl- .tural industries have had to face ths •prevailing universal economic depres-sion. While the increased output otmarketable products provided a vain-able offsetto this, theposition calls forspecial effort by producers towardsthe reduction of costs and a related *'increased per-acre yield. Variousmeasures are being taken to this end^and the Department of Agriculture isendeavouring to carry out its share*ofthe Governmentpolicy.

"The dairy industry has gonethrough a difficult year, falling market*values for both butter and cheese,coi^bined with the development in theBri»ish market ofa strongprejudice againstcheese standardisation, beingoutstanfring features. The improvement ofcheese quality is having marked attesttion, and it is realised that those en»gaged in cheese manufacture fully ap-preciate the necessity for this. TheDepartment's specialist officers ar» ■■

working in close co-ordination with theDairy Besearch, Institute in its inves-tigations. ■'.■-•■'

"The increase in the Department'sestimates of expenditurefor the currentfinancial year is due to its taking overthe whole cost: of the concessions . oarailway freight-rates for the carriageof farm fertilisers and lime. Theshrinkage in the use of fertilisers otlate, owing to financial stress, is re-cognised as a matter of the utmostconcern, and the Government is usingthe organisation of the Eural Inter-mediate Credit Board to facilitate ad-vances to farmers on this account.

"Some encouragement in the presentposition is afforded by evidence thatbedrock has apparently been-reached

FOUND HANGING

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) \ ,AUCKLAND, This Dfcy.

Wong Tim Poy (40), married, wofound hanging in the cellar of a city'house this morning. He had been in!ill-health since coining from Hamilton.some months ago, and it is suspectedthat he was suffering from leprosy.

Clothing to the value of about £4Qwas stolen from Newman's draperystore, in Park road, Miramar, onThute*day night or early on Friday morning.The thieves gained entrance throngkthe main door, evidently with s dupli-cate key, and ransacked the whole «#the shop. They also smashed the tilt,[but it contained no money.

A COURSE OP FREE PUBLIC AD-DRESSES is now being delivered (Godwilling) in the above Hall on SUNDAYEVENINGS, at 7 o'clock, under the titleof

"TURNED UNTO FABLES.""The time will come when they will

not endure sound doctrine . . . theyshall turn away their ears from the truthand shall be turned unto fables." (Paul 2,

THE SUBJECTFOR THIS SUNDAY IS:

"EVANGELICAL CONVERSION—A FABLE."

THE OBJECT of this # address is toprove that Bible "conversion" is not theinstantaneous decision (without any pre-vious investigation and study of the Scrip-tures) to "accept the Lord Jesus Christas a personal saviour," as such is alto-gether opposed to the Scriptures, whichplainly teach that, there can be no Godrecognised, therefore, true conversionapart from:Hi) AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE

SCRIPTURES. (2 Tim. 3:15-17,Acts20-32,James 1:21, John 5:39, 1 Pet.2:2, Isa. 28:9-10,Matt. 22:29.)

(2) BELIEF AND FAITH as the result ofan understanding of the Scriptures.(Heb. 11:6,Heb. 10:38, Roms. 1:16,Roms,10:17,Mark 16:15-16,1 Cor.1-21., 2 Thess. 2:13, John 3:16, John8:24,Acts 13:39,etc.)

(3) OBEDIENCE FOLLOWING BE-LIEF—the first act of which is" bap-tism in water for "the remission ofsins." Thuß faith is manifested byworks. (James 2:20, James 2:26,Mark 16:15-16,Acts 2:38,Acts 8:35-39,John 15:14, John 14:15, Luke 6:46,Heb. 5:9, Rev. 22:14.) ,

(4) BEING (after baptism) "A NEWCREATURE." (2 Cor. 5:17) or"WALKING IN NEWNESS OBLIFE" (Roms. 6:4) thereby "WORK-ING OUT YOUR OWN SALVA-TION WITH FEAR AND TREMB.LING." (Phil. 2:12.) .Questions invited. No Collection.

Thetestator-left a'-'certain sum 'of moneyto benevolent societies, of which £-2750(two seven , five nought) had to bedivided, .between two classes of charity,one the, homes for old men, and theother to the institutions providing simi-lar service for aged women. The sum

' mentioned had to be wholly expendedin each year, £125 to each O.M. home,and £75 to'each of-'th'e dthers, andalthough these amounts were fixed defi-■ nitely for each organisation every year,there, was a .further .condition, whichJimited the number of years that thescheme could be operative. This stipu-lation .was that there niust be a differ-ent number of each class of institutionevery year. For example/ there couldbe in one distribution five O.W. homes. and nineteen places for old men, which■would wholly abs6rb the "full' sum at•the respective rates mentioned. Assum-• ing that the authorities of these organ-isations complied with, the, conditionsx>t the bequest^ how much would bogivon; in this way, when all the.differ-ent ways of allotting the moneywereexhausted?■ ■ ' • .; '.-.■:■

WIRING BY APPRENTICES

ELECTRICIAN FINED

Leaving his two apprentices to.pro-ceed •with the installation of electricwiring in a hotel..in Kewtown while.he waß absent for two hours broughtWilliam' John Marriott boforo Mr. E.Page, S.M., yesterday on.a charge ofemploying unregistered persons to doelectrical work. Mr. J. Tudhppe, who.prosecuted, said' that although Marriottwas liable to a fine of £20 under thoElectrical Wii'einen's [Registration Act,ihe.would'not ask for',a heavy penalty,as the case was brought mainly' withthe object of warning others. Thepractice of .employing apprentices andletting them work without, supervisionwas a fairly common one, said Mr.Tudhope. The two apprentices worealso charged with doing electrical workwhen they were•not registered.

Referring to the circumstances of thecase, Mr. Tudhope said that Marriotthad secured•a contract for the wiringof S hotel iit Newtown, and. employedhis-two apprentices: on the job. ■ Thatwould, have been,all right if he hadbeen ,working .with, them, but. on sev-eral 'occasions' he1 "had been,away forperiods Up to two hours. •■■■. : •■■

Mr. N. Foden,who appeared "for'thedefendants,",said ,that owing :to thestate .-.-of/trade Marriott, who twelvemonths ago..employed .five, registeredwirerhen as well as the two apprentices,had now only one wireman to assisthim. :'He could not get rid of hisapprentices, and had found it impossibleto keep tßem under his supervision allthe time.- The matter had since been"ta/eh up,"however, and one of theapprentices had been-transferred.

Mr. Page, dismissed the.: chargesagainst the apprentices; though tech-nically liable, he said, they wero iiotreally blameworthy. Marriott wasfined £2. ... .. . .

COMPENSATION: CLAIM

JUDGMENT UPHELD

AN APPEAL POSSIBLE

At the conclusion or the second trial,ir tho Supreme Court last month ofthe caso in which Sir Kenneth Douglas,barrister, of Wellington, claimed £34715s lid special and £2500 goneraldamages, from the Victoria . Laundry.Company, Ltd.—a sequel to an accidentin Newtown—Jlr. W. B. Leicester,'- onjehalf of tho Laundry Company, raisedthe question whether the jury'sanswersto the issues did not amount to a ver-dict for the defendant." Legal argu-ment was heard on the point this monthby tho first trial Judge, Mr. JusticeBlair, and the second trial Judge, Mr.Justice MacGregor, and yesterday, theirHonours delivered judgment,upholdingthe verdict and judgment for Sir Ken-neth Douglas.It may be, however, that there will

be further. litigation.' Mr. Leicestermentioned the possibility, of tho com-mittee set up by the'various insurancecompanies wishing to appeal to ' theCourt of Appeal, and on that accounta stay of execution was granted, thedefendant for 14 days, subject to'thecondition that if an appeal is decidedupon it must be toa'de at the next sit-ting of the Court of. .Appeal, commenc-ing on 22nd September.

The action, arose out of Sir KennethDouglas being knocked down and sev-erely injured;by one of the VictoriaLaundry Company's—van's- in Riddifordstreet in July, 1930.. The jury dis-agreed at. the first .trial, and at the re-trial the following week • tho juryawarded Sir Kenneth Douglas £347special and £850: general damages.

The motion subsequently presentedto Mr. Justice MacGregor and Mr. Jus-tice Blair was to set aside the judgmentthat had been entered for the plaintiff,and instead to enter judgmentfor thedefendant, notwithstanding the factthat the jury,had found the vital issuein favour of the plaintiff.

After discussing-,the .facts, and, insome detail, the legal argument, ;Mr.Justice Blair, in his judgment,said itseemed -clear, to him that- the jury hadevidence upon which they could- quitereasonably have.come to the conclusionthat the van driver had' the last oppor-tunity of avoiding the accident, andthat being the position, the defendant'smotion must fail.

Mr. Justice MacGregor said he agreedwith the result of Mr. Justice Blair'sjudgment,and with the reasoning orwhich it was. based. Tho jury foundthat in fact the defendant had the. laslopportunity- of avoiding' the aceiden-by the;,exercise .of reasonable care/: Iihis Honour's opinion, they were justifled-in-coiningto that conclusion onth<evidence before .them. ' -'. ..

After Mr. Leicester had made his application for a stay of execution, MiH. H. Cornish,who appeared with/ MrH. J. V. James for the plaintiff, protested that if the application wagranted^for any length of timo(-.thcoming sitting of the Court of Appeawould be missed,and a hardship .woulbe imposed upon the plaintiff. The ivsurance committee was in Wellingtorhe said, and it should be possible foit to meet and decide in reasoriabl"time whether it was intended to "takthe case to the Court of .Appeal.

A&.S previously stated,tlie Court granIed a stay ,of,execution for 14 days, sulject to the condition that any appcEmust be made at the nest sitting othe Court of Appeal. Mr. Justice Ma<Gregor, in reply to Mr.' Leicester,'saithat the Court would give leave to.movagaiu in the event of any insup^rabldifficulty arising. ." " ; -'(

Costs were- allowed the plaintiff oboth trials, and ".on" the' motion to*seaside the judgment. I

A comedy-drama in which that popularstar, Gloria Swanson, excels herself is "Indis-creet, ' a United Artists' picture now showingat the Regent Theatre. The film Is announcedas a drama, but there is such a plenteousmeasure of comedy that one almost forgetsthe sterner phrases. Whether In drama orcomedy, however. Miss SwansonIs mistress ofher own art. As Jerry Trent Gloria portraysa modern girl who, while engaged to apopular novelist, risks the destruction of herown happiness to prevent a man with whomshe has been Involved in a secret romancefrom winning the affection of her youngersister. In her efforts to prevent Jim Wood-ward from ruining the life of her sister Jerrymeets all kinds of complications and gets Intomany delicate situations. One occasion takesa lot of explaining away when her lover andher sister find her in the arm 3of Woodward.Love,.however,:always finds a way, and thestory ends, as all good stories generally do,to the chimes of wedding bells. The picturemoves: apace through a commonplace story,but a story that contains many highly divert-ing^ situations. Ben Lyon is cast in theleading male, role as the novelist, and MonrooOwsley plays the former lover. Barbara Kentappears, as , the younger sister, Joan Trent,and,gives a fine performance. Gloria Swan-son, as usual, gives an excellent performance,ana her voice is heard to advantage In twosonjs, "Cometo Me" and "If You Haven'tGot Love." The supporting programme is wellinjteeplng with the high standard of the mainattraction, and Includes a Graham M'Namoenews reel, Paramount news, and a bright com-edy entitled "She Went For a Tramp."

TAWA FLAT TUNNEL PIERCEDGovernment's Announcement: Fast ElectricTrains innear future

BEAUTIFUL SECTIONS from £75.TJie future of Tawa Flat assured beyond doubt

; ■ ■ ■ ■■ ■ . . ■ ■■■■■.-. tThe Government's decision to pierce the range of hills lying between Wellington and Tawa Flat at a cost of onemillion and a half pounds, and the fact that this project has been brought to fruition must compel all who are desirousof establishing their own home to review this wonderful engineering feat in its proper perspective. A further startlingannouncement from the Minister of Railways reveals the fact that an additional quarter of a million has been allocated

to electrify this wonderful deviation. These statements are facts and what in essence does it meanto the home builder?What has electrical transport done in the past to popularise the Suburban areas of great cities? Sydney andMelbourne reveal an outstanding tribute to such services. Land that was originally sold at £2 and £3 per foot jumpedin value to £10 to £20 per foot almost overnight. Beyond doubt history will repeat itself in regard to Tawa Flat.Bank on the future development of Wellington. The Government is spending millions of pounds on the newThomdon reclaimation; the new Railway Goods Sheds and Yards; the new Wellington Railway Station and the TawaFlat Deviation. The reclaimed land not utilized by the Railway Department will immediately be snapped up by privateenterprise and utilized. This development must supply work for thousands of workers. Wellington's geographical situ-ation establishes it the distributing centre of New Zealand. It is also the seat of Government,and naturally the greatestproportion of the Civil Service is established here. It possesses the finest harbour South of the Line and firms of anypotentialities are compelled to establish their headquarters in Wellington.

These facts must establish confidence as to the future prosperity and development of"Wellington: ~1. Wellington's increase in population is approximately 8. No section has less than 50 feet frontage or is less5,000 per year. than one-fifthof an acre. There is at present a good

■f TOPICS FOR WOMEN 7l& '<» ■■ : —— ..■"■:.: .■ ~ ■■■ h

The Scheme of ThingsBy M.H.C.

■ ;It is proverbial that the points ofIview of men and women are often wide-ly different—there are t>ut few subjectson-which they see "eye to eye." Thisis very well exemplified by a recent• declaration by Mr. Symonds, a manwho ought to have known what he wastalking about, as he is the president of\ the.. British Fashions and FabricsBureau. He made the following■ somewhat extraordinary statement:♦'■Women's hats are back to Victorianand Edwardian days. Dresses areabout to be launched which recall the

-camera-studies in the family photoalbums of Grannies and Aunties of 60and 70 years ago. The violent andincessant changes of fashion are thev fault of women—not of dressmakers.Women with fashions are like childrenwith toys—ever craving for somethingnew—and the moment it arrives theyare instantly 'on with the new love—and]off with the old.' The insatiable, feminine desire for change has turneddresßcreators into the slaves of mod-ern fashion-fetish women."

This pronouncement can only becharacterised as amazing. Let it berecalled that during the whole warperiod women,obtaine.d and kept theirshort hair and short skirts, rejoicingin them, resisting every effort on thepart, of fashion arbiters to introducethe present fashions, which were turned. down by women time after time foryears in favour of comfort and sim-plicity. Then there was a definitesociety of well-known women begun inLondon,with.branches in other centres,with the sole idea of objecting to thenew "traily" styles, with long skirtsand expensive variations, allied withlong hair, hairpins, nets, .pads, and theother unwholesome paraphernalia, with

-.large, hats and. hat-pins, which followinevitably. These, women drew upstrong Tesolutions against the changeswhich • they considered were beingforced onr the world of women. Thesewere sent to various fashion centres,but apparentlyMr. Symonds either didnot hear of them or ignored them.

;There are certainly ''none so blind asthose who won't see," and it will amazemany women to hear that the changesof fashion are onlydue to their craving"for something -different in the way ofstyle, and that they are martyring thedress creators, who have become their''slaves." Amazing indeed! There35,.:.0£course, the type of woman whothinksof little else but clothes,but sheis rapidly becoming a thing of the pastin the vivid interests of the day which, are so many and'far-reaching. . It ismore likely that the great majority ofwomen would prefer more stablefashions, for the larger number are inthff immense ranks of. the middle-classpeople who have not. deep purses attheir command,and-would be glad ifthere were not so many and such ex-pensive changes of fashion, forcingthem to spend either more than theycan afford, or else "look a sketch" inthe hats and styles generally of theyear'before last, which" are perfectlygood,butnot the least "in the mode."

■_Another real objection to the bring-ing back of Victorian and Edwardian

fashions is the injury to health ofwomen generally which are likely tofollow in their train. The long skirtwhich,gathers up unspeakable materialfrom the floors and streets, the tightwaists which constrict the internalorgans in a ghastly manner, the highcollars which make the necks both uglyand delicate—all these will come inturn, but.not with the wish or consentof the women of the world generally.The people who design fashion must,naturally, regard the feelings andwishes of the manufacturers, who,equallynaturally, desire to have agreatdeal more material in the dresses,etc.,and trailing about so that they willwear out. The short style was emin-ently inexpensive and economical, whilethe "little frocks" -which most womenand girls loved so much could be madeat home by the wearers, looking smartand charming; This was much againstthe interests of the . ateliers, whereelaborate styles must be produced ifthey are at all successful. Sad to re-late, now is the time when the homedressmaker must "take a back scat,"for the only possible grace and smart-ness to be obtained are through excel-lent and experienced handwork in cut-ting and fitting elaborate frocks. Itis rather a sad thing that just at atime in the history of the world when-women are much oppressed with theexpenses of life, and many methods arebeing used to lessen their command ofmoney by depriving them of avenuesof york and reducing their salaries andwages,they should have laid upon themthe, additional burden of fashion. Itis a burden, and a serious one; for fewnave the hardihood to appear publiclyin worn-out fashions/as it brings ridi-cule,or, at least, unkind remarks,whilethe alternative is to spend more thanthey. can afford in the effort to keepin touch with many; changes'in\for'mand material. V

Then the '{last straw" is. the factthat an authority comes forward anddeclares that these sudden and drasticchangos are the fault of women ingeneral, who, he says, are.-.'' like chil-dren with toys," and as soon as a modecomes in; rush it, and are equallyanxious for the next.change! It allargues such an irresponsible, feather-headed,subnormal kind of outlook andmeasure of conduct,that it is surprisingthat any, sensible person could havelooked but on the present,.worldof girlsand women and traduced them in sucha manner. The eager,sporting, crier?getic, unsentimental womenkind of theday who realise life so early, and areeducated widely in general hygieneand the -facts of existence, aria- butlittle likely to join,the ever-thinningranks of the "dress fans." When thenineteenth century is brought under re-view, with its few interests for women,it was possible and likely for dress toloom largely in their* minds,but there islittle .time nowadays for intensive studyof fashion books, and the woman whowants to talk about her clothes, is rele-gated to the "bore corner" along.withthose who want to discuss their maidsor their ailments. The world movestoo fast for such people nowadays, inspite of the pronouncements of mascu-line fashion arbiters.

Paris -in the MirrorWrltUn for "Th» Pert" .fey Gerniiiû.

,•: ; . ; PARIS, 22nd July.. .The milliners ,have a little joke instore for us this season, and they aregoing,to give us a novelty in trimmingwhich really oughtto cause a sensation.. It -will, be the more amusing, sincemost of them have consistently foughtshy of most trimmings, even on: thelargerhats, for a long time now, feelingit did not go with the modern sim-plicity.^ But this year we are seeinghats trimmed once more. There is afeather or a flower in most every hatnowadays.-.If, matters .not whether onewears a knitted beret, a straw sailor,or a felt cloche, but it is almost obli-gatory to have a quill stuck at a perky

ingle somewhere on the hat. Blackpicture hats look charmingly sophisti-cated with two gardenias placed flat onthe under brim, and equally charmingare the flower-trimmed bandeaux thatone. sees in every modiste's shop.

■This year we are also seeing hatsirt some of the latest exotic straws,trimmed with men's shirting—-nothingmore or less. Dan you imagine any-thing more prosaic to adorn a beautifulhead? And yet, the magic of the mil-liner's art has transformed it into some-thing that is most uncommon and thatswathes the summer hat to perfection.

MATERIALS ARE NOVEL INMILLINERY.

Hats are being made this season ofmaterials that -wo have always con-sidered reserved for dresses. There is,for instance, a little sports hat whichcombines shantung, and broderie an-

glaise. One.seen in blue has the all-over lace set in a wide band across thecrown.to the forehead. A flat ■bowof ;tho shantung finishes the. neckline.Onohas visions of ablue shantung suitwith open-work blouse in broderie An-glaise to complete the ensenible. An-other favourite model with the1Paris-ienne is the fnil-crowned sailor ofstarched crash or canvas in . naturalcolour.

Two tones of the same colour,-twocontrasting colours,or two different ma-terials ,ara being combined in many ofthe new hats. For instance, a blackMilan' has a crown of velvet; a browncrochet straw and yellow silk are usedin a beret'model, two tones'of greenblend in a pretty bonnet' of ribbontaffetas. . / . ..■',,

By the way, the Panama, with ablack lining, is a popular type Of lighthat for the summer weather.WHITE COTTON TRIMMINGS FORDARK SUITS.■ White cotton trimmings on darksuitsand dresses are one of the distinctivesigns of tho new modes. They are usedin various ways by Paris dressmakers.White cotton collars and belts are seen,and there are many organdior piqueincrustations, combined with dark fab-rics. Many fashionable sleeves haveorgandi or batiste- cuffs set into themsomewhere, preferably between theelbows ;and-the-wrists. At other timesthese light touches are made of: manyrows Valenciennes lace edging.Muslin, lace, •or lace-trimmed blousesare,being worn with; thick wool andtweed suits, as well as with the manytransparent suits of thin wool voile,scptmayah, or open -wool mesh. Bothinsido arid tunic blouses are smart, tnolatterbeing very short—like the new-est, jackets, they reach barely to thehip-bones. , . t .

PASTEL SHADES FOR SPORTSWEAR.

' Sports clothes of lightweight suededyed in pale colours are new. Beautifulxn colouring and of the cardigan-jackettype, they are a far cry from the mascu-line type of suede coat for the golfcourse. Shell pink jackets are shownwith pale green cloth skirts, and whiteknitted wool blouses and sea green jac-kets are wornwith pale pinkskirts andwhite blouses.

Many of the Shetland wool blouses'which are being worn with these suitsend at the waistline, where they areattached to knitted wool belts.Sports ensembles are of two sorts—either a dress and an nnlined jacket

on a skirt, vest, and nnlined jacket.Skirts for sports wear remain about15m from the floor. The most interest-ingvariation of the silhouette in sportsclothes is at the waistline. This ismuch lower in the back than in thefront. This effect gives to the figurethe added height which is essential tothe new styles. •UNDERWEAR._ Simplicity has deserted underwear.Tho trend of the frock has establishedthe trend of the clothes to be wornunderneath. We are coming into anera where the ideal from the well-dressed woman's point of view is foreach dress to have its own set of under-clothes.

Not only toassist in jiakingthe dressfit better, by having the under layerscut on the same lines, but from theaesthetic point of colour, this is desir-able.

Carrying this ensemble idea a stepfurther, the same material is:used forunderwear as for frocks. This explainstho new shorts and brassieres in Hgbt-coloured linens to match the linendresses ami suits occupying such largeplaces in summer style. Gropes, crepesatms^and oven pongeesand shantungsare utilised in the same way. The useoggeorgettes and chiffonsunder dresses

of heavier silk, fabrics is established.This has a logical reason, since everyfraction of an inch counts in the fit-tings of the new. silhouette.

Lace is the only trimming for thesheer type of underwear.1 It is of thedelicate varieties, either dyed to matchthe materials or in a delicate ecru orgrey.

Since the coliur of the frock ismatched in underwear, we have in lin-gerie the new colours of summer. Fordeep coloured dresses leading lingeriemakers suggest paler tones of the samecolour.

COAT SILHOUETTES.Coat silhouettes are generally of twovarieties. Thero'is the coat that is fit-

ted or semi-fitted to the waistline andflares from there to the hem, with abelt at the waist. There is the streetcoat, which either flows in an unbrokenline from the shoulders or is held downby a belt. The coat may be long orthree-quarter' length. Long coats aTCmore generally worn, and Parisienneslike them a trifle Ung'er ttan the dress'they go with.

Coats that add chic to the streetscene this season are usually of plaincolour and of , mat-surface material,without even the smallest sheen to it.They can, when the colour is wiselychosen,'be worn withany number offrocks, and that's one blessing. Achequed, 'a striped, a plaid frock, anda plain woollen coat look dazzling, forthe pattern of the. dress'is to be seenhere and there where the coat has beencut away. The summer coat with sucha frock looks and is a.morning affair.The same coat worn with a chiffondress or with, a dress of some semi-transparent 'material beeomes-afternoonin effect, be the. dress/plain 'or printed.

London Fashion NotesSpecially Written for "The Post."

.• ' LONDON, 31st July. 'How oi;ten one hears cynical com-inents_ on the almost sheep-like mannerin which women follow the dictates oftho fashion designers.TBut now-',it is all explained. Poordears, we..cannot help ourselves—it isall written inthe.stars!

A famous astrologer who contributesa weekly article in a London paper hasalready so many fulfilled prophecies tohis credit that now we all. eagerly scan

his .column to see .what we are upagainst in the near future.

After,commenting on events of na-tional, political, and financial import-ance, he now to tell of theeffect of the mysterious planet, Nep-tune,.which entered- the Zodiac sign,Virgo,towards the end of 1928.Apparently, Virgo is especially con-cerned with dress,food, family life, andsocial customs. Therefore) the. ten-dency to return' to dressing and think-ing in the Victorian,manner, will be in-creasinglymanifest during'the next fewyears.. , .

Moreover,. the enthusiasm for wo-men 'a so-called freedom has aboutreached high water mark!

Well, the revival of the nineteenthcentury hat .has already arrived, andthe question that everyone is askingis; Will the new, dresses follow thisfashion, or will they in their turn alterthe trend of the hat? 'It,is true we have waists-^but so farI have not seen a.hint of that night-mar© of corseting- and whalebonewhich-is so constantly threatened. :

,The,'modern-waisted; dress is achiev-ed by/cut iand effect. Bodices are

tight-fitting and snug at the waist, withspreading effect, like.the basque, at thehips.Then' the'bustle; bogy which is al-ways being-whispered about. " Not aninch of wire or. padding has met my

searching eyes,so far, but enormoussou loops of velvet and satin at thebase.of low cut bodices, which ratheraccentuate the slim waist without ad-ding thickness to the figure, like thebustle of Victorian days.The pannier,and the crinoline havebeen passed over up to now, but thepirectoiro line.is very popular for even-ing .wear.' These- softly flowing gownsha,ve'almostinvariably the Mid-Victor-!mn off-the-shoulder neckline; in manyjcases,there is a little berthe of fine lace,spirals of lacy frills or stiff bunchy•ruchings finish the bottom of the skirts,Winch cling to the figure to below theknees.

This week the- earliest openings of theiPans dress houses are indicating theway the wind of fashion is blowing,and1 near that all the old romantic stylesare coming back to fashion, so evident-ly my astrologer is right.T-he- newest autumn materials whichI have already seen are 1931 in texturebut positively 1880 in colouring.All the shades of mauve from palelilac to deepviolet, prune colour,ruby—a. rich wine red, in greensthe more ex-travagant chartreuse and ereine-de-

menthe shades, and deep blues.Deep maroon brown—the very soundof which conjures up memories ofgrandmothers—is to replace black fortown wear.'All the.deep rich-looking colours areto be fashionable for evening wear, two

shades of green being used together invelvet gowns. Deep reds and purplesas well as all tones from gun metal topale grey will be used for eveninggownsnext season.

The newest tweeds which hail fromScotland are a revelation, for they arethe loveliest and most supple thingsimaginable. How it must have goneagainst their thrifty Scottish naturesto make such fine almost flimsy, fabricsBut ..they, have been at last persuadedthat mqdern woman wants quality, butnot the type that will wear forever.Fashions change too rapidly, and theold days of wearing a suit for six orseven winters and then passing it on tosome ono less fortunate have passed.Even the "less fortunate" prefer some-thing, cheap,and smart, even if it doesnot last long.

These new.tweeds will pleat as wellas .marocaiu .and crepe-de-chine,■ andyet,have that firmness of texture whichmakes them ideal for tailored frocksand suits.

The new "five-ounce" fabrics arelovely ali-the-year-round sort oftweeds, for this means they only weighfive ounces to tho yard.There are suare weaves and diagonal

weaves, and others which show a roughsurfacewith tiny knots all over.

Plain fabrics are made to match pat-terned ones, so that with a dress ofplain material and a coat patternedeach blends perfectly without givingan appearance of sameness.

There are, for instance, "five-ounce"dress materials made to combine withcoat materials which weigh perhapstwelve or even fifteen ounces, and theseare ideal for mid-winter and travellingcoats. 'These new_ tweed and woollen frocksare being trimmed with many"inset"straps, bands,'bows, and motifs, whilepleats, both-fine pleats and box pleats,create the fullness in place of summerflares.

One lovely model in what is called"Balmoral blue" had a slim skirt andlong tailored coat, the skirt light-weight, for wearwith a delicate blouseor lace wool jumper, and the heaviercoat for the necessary warmth out ofdoors.Steam-heated flats and hotels, whichare increasing tho world over, call forthinner fabrics for indoors, even in thewinter—hence, this clever arrangementof. matching fabrics in. two very dif-ferent weights.Another model had a'plain,red frockwith a black and red check coat. This

dress,was given one of the new "pir-ate" belts which areat least five.inchesdeep, mostly made of matt suppleleath-er, and buckle in front. I need notenlarge .on the fact that one must beslim to wear one! ■ .'-'"■ BUTH SIBLEY.:

Thefashionable light-lopped modeis expressed in this smart dress ofblack and white crepe, with a whitecrepe coat and tiny hat in blackvelvet,with a soft feather pad of

white:breast plumage.

, Toa Much TeaBeauty, especially in' regard, to. one's

complexion,; is largely influenced: bywhat one eats and drinks, especiallythe latter^ states an exchange. Indi-gestion is the greatest enemy to a clear,smooth skin, and blackheads arid pim-ples, -blotches, and enlarged pores areinvariably due to "■errors, of diet, andcan often be 'completely cured bychoosing the right'food and drink with-out any other treatment whatever. Fewwomen take' sufficient liquid to keep

them in perfect health and to preserveand beautify the complexion. Toolittle liquid results.in a dry skin, anddryness of the skin always induces anunbecoming crop of, wrinkles quite'early in -life. : At least two.'quartsof ;Uquid should-be taken every day,and this amount must not be largelycomposed of tea. Too much toa drink-ing is responsible for many a muddycomplexion and almost every case ofindigestion among women. :

Tlio Taua Flat railway deviation hasadvanced so far now that it is prettyclear how OiQeront the road approachto Wellington is to become. There will

Ibe no clo&e-up view across the water,the long embankment cutting it oftnearly as far as Ngahauraiiga. . Itwill not bo long, too, until the haibourreclamation is complete, and occupied,and all will be "eity"^ from Kavwarrain, no open space of either land orwater, and possibly buildingsthe wholeway along. Some day railways maygo, "and theroad come into its ownagain. The optimistic motorist maylook forward to tho time when he orhis son are speeding along the top ofthe embankment in a stream-lined car,with a fine panorama of magnificentwaterfront spread out beforehim—thatia, if tho bird's-eye view has not ar-rived first, which, after all, is morethan likely.

If 'all a man had to do when oper-ating an autornobilo was to look outfor himself, drivingwould be an unal-loyed joy and traffic conditions almostUtopian. But driving a car is moreoften an intricate part of the trafficmovement,, and safety and accidentpre*vention depend upon tho care, co-oper-atitm, courtesy, and sportsmanship ofeach individual operator.

Hand signals are as important tothe safe driving of motor -vehicles asadequate brakes or skilful handling ofsteering wheels. It is not sufficientthat vehicles' be equipped with rearlights that reflect the application ofthebrakes —the lights may fail to workgome time. Hand signals are an indis-pensable part of vehicle :operation.

Sportsmanship on the streets: andpublic roads demands above all thingselse the use of hand signals in makingstops or turns where other vehiclesmay in any way be jeopardised. Theman in front owes a duty to tho manbehind. Often the latter is followingso closely in heavy traffic that he can-not see ahead, and must depend uponthe skill and caro of the man in frontfor his safety. He is entitled to promptand precise hand signals from thedriver of tho vehicle that obstructs hisview, and to be warned of impendinghazard or danger.

A careful driver is equally consider-ate of people on foot. It is an old say-ing that "manners makoth man."Manners certainly reveal the man, amnowhere more than at the wheel of a1car.

NECESSITYvFOR CARE

Occasionally iino still hears the pui-eliaser of a niass production ear mon-lioil uitli so"mq| perplexity tho vexedquestion of "riâning in." Ho takes

Idelivery of a mass-production car, pos-sibly dccoiated with "a red label, u^Do 1

not exceed 3O'cin3lcs an hour for tho fiist300 miles," but'jfinds the restraint ei-trcmely tedious. Moreo1*cr, he ias readthat cars of the roako have their en-gines tested at full power for half auhour on the bench, and maye^ven haveseen testeis driving: sisterI''cars" all out '"on the roads. 'If his engine has al-ready travelled at the equivalent of ,sixty miles an hour for eomo 45 Jniitl-utes, what, he wonders,is tho sense "of-his accepting the voluntary purgatory f[>

of 500 miles at 30 miles1 .per houitMuch, every way. 'For should"anytii'htness or distortion occur during thefactory bench test, it will bo noticedand the cause' will bo remedied. Inmost cases, though not quite invariably,similar action will be taken if anymisbehaviour is noticed during the roadtest. But if the motorist flogs his newengine ho will very probably• have toput up with-the consequences by diiv-

'mg a damaged car for the ne^t year,1or paying experts to correct the injury.

'It is regrettable'that so few factories,copy the sensiblo plan of fitting awasher in the inlet pipeof new enginesso that they canriotbe overdriven until• they have bedded ' This is the

Theb fillers should be examined and cleaned? —tho oil filter; in the sump, and thes petrol filters in the tank and autovac.c Every bearing should be relubricated.ft Those supplied with nipples should beg fed till grcaso emergesfreely at thoi- fs»r,end. The small control bearingsa should bo oiled. The hubs should Jjot filled with grease. The wheels shouldit be jacked up simultaneously, and the-e brakes brought to a, perfect adjust-s nient. A spanner should be used tog test all accessible nuts. Looseness is

emphatically probable in the nutsc- which hold down'the cylinder head, as,•- the gasket is certain to have settled" a little; and special attention shouldd be given to any nuts which may' be re-a sponsible for oil leakages, especially

round the edges of the sump. Thetap-pet clearances will usually repay ad-justment; and in this ease the feelergauge'should be applied a second timeafter the locking devices have beentightened, as the clearance is apt tovary when the-adjnster is tightened., After this overhaul the owner; willusuallybe safe in using his car's maxi-mum speed and power. But he shouldcontinue to remain alert for another 500miles. If at any time lie can "smell"his engine, it is probable that some-thing is running tight. Provided such. illegitimate heat is maintained for afew minutes only, no permanent injury0 ia likely. If he allows the engine to

00 cool down, ,the distortion may only boto temporary. But if with this smell ataj' Iris nose he continues to climb fast, or. tt. maintain, a high averagespeed, it is

probable that a piston will suffer per-;ar znanent distortion or that a valve mayft, warp.

TAPPET CLEARANCESHEAT AND EXPANSION

Correct adjustment of the tappets inan overhead or side yalve engine is ofthe utmost importance, ;for incorrect ad-justment greatly affects performance.Correct clearance between the valvestem and pushrod or tappet varies ■withdifferent makes of engine,

FIFTY YEARS AGO

ITEMS FROM " THE POST "PROTECTION BURLESQUED"itWe cannot' bring ourselves to be-ieve that Parliament will seriously .^Hentertain the very absurd proposalslow before-them," comments "The <;^HPost" under' ihb editorial heading <^H"Protection Burlesqued" in its issueof this date fifty years ago."For whatearthly reason is it proposed to( put aduty of twopence pev pound on hamand bacon?. Surely our New Zealandfarmers can produce those articles offood atbetter quality and at a cheaperprice than they can*-be imported? Ifnot, it is high time they learned. We wMreally cannot see the necessity , for .^Hpassing an Act of Parliament to raise ;^Hthe price of harii an.d bacon,twbpeucoper pound for the benefit.of the verysmall minority who have Hot learnedtheir business. -.Nay, the increase, "willbe mare than.twopence, for the whole-sale merchant and the retail tradesman■will each charge—and very properly so ■■

his profit on the money invested in }■payment of the duty or of the extra Mprice to which that duty raises the ]■goods imported or purchased, as the ]■case maybe. Therefore,the increase to !■the retail purchaser, the actual con- Msumer, would probably be at least four- JHpence. So also with jams, jelly, and Mmarmalade, preserves, etc. The; pro- Mposed import duty on these is three |Hhalfpence per pound, which, by the time 11it reaches the' consumer, will be at Vleast threepence. Why should' the «whole colony pay threepence,per pound ||Jmore for its jam in 'order that tho j||money may go into the pockets.of a j||few fruit-growers in-Nelson? . . .If laNew Zealand colonists cannot grow and 19cure bacon," grow and preserve fruit, jpgrow and grind maize, and make soap l|junless the: prices of these .articles are IBraised by Act of Parliament to the Uextent of from 25 to 50 per cent., ,then Win the name of' common-sense and fair- Mness let them turn their attention to Hsome other. industry. It is utterly ■ridiculous to suppose that even if any Uparticular persons happen not- to be ajmaking quite as much money as they j|desire at some particular trade, the ||entire public are therefore to be fOTced 1|to contribute towards 'making'up apurse for them,' for that is what theseabsurd duties wpuldreally Amount to.If■would be. jnst as reasonable for theCity.Council to levy a rate onthe wholecity for the benefit of some particularmerchant, or ironmonger, or draper, or ;"bootmaker whose.business was-not sobrisk as 'he ■would like it to be. This, ii protection .burlesqued with a'vengeance! We refuse to believe thatParliament -will stultify itself by im-posing these preposterous and indefen- 'sible import duties."

OFFICIOUS INTERFERENCE."A very absurd addition was made

last night to the Municipal Corpora-tions Act, empowering the municipalauthorities to regulate tho hour ofclosing all retail establishments in-the-borough. This is an officious inter-ference with trade which certainlywould not be long tolerated. There'is not the slightest necessity for anysnch interference, and if: there, were itought to be dealt with by the SupremeLegislature., ,To.empower every littletrumpery local body, to interfere withthe.._ conduct, of everybody's privatebusiness is to create a species oftyranny which, would soon be foundquite, insupportable. We hope, thatthe/"clause"will be struck out by theLegislative Council or that the whole,thing.will be shelved."

PETONI'S MAILS.• '•A correspondent asks us what stepsshould bo: taken, so as . to* get better,postal accommodation for Petoni. In.the.first place, he says, there, is onlyone mail per,day from Petoni to Wel-lington,,and that closes at 7.30 a.m.—avery unreasonable hour—and the worstpart of it is .that it does not "actuallyleave until noon! ' Pet6ni gets onemail a day- from "Wellington, - arrivingai 8 a.m., which'is thirty minutes.afterthe mail has, closed ,for Wellington.Therefore letters • cannot be answeredthat 'dayj no' matter how importantthey are; ■• Letters' remain lying in thePetoni Post Office for days or weekson endj and yetthe Postmaster has notthe,courtesy, to sayi'Here'is a letterfor . you.* MThe Post" suggeststhat a memorial should be submitted tothe Postmaster-General,adding that itdoes not think-the .Postmaster to blamefor1 not-delivering letters'if he is not

NATURE NOTES

THE MALLAED

URDS IN THE MANAWA-HJ(By B. H. D. Stidolph, R.A.0.V.)

The'mallard duck appears to be 'airly well established in parts of «»•Hanawatu district. During a recent

lurried visit to the upper Manawatn,;hanks to the courtesy of Mr. T.

Andrews,of Palmerston North, the

writer was shown a number of ducksat this species on. a,lagoon quite closeto' that city. Although the wisdomintroducingabird such as the mallard,rather than conserving the native greyduck, is open to question, the Englisiiwild duck is a very beautiful bird, par-ticularly the male. It is so well knowaas an ornamental bird on many parklakes and in zoos, besides being theprogenitor of most domesticated ducks,that it is unnecessaryto describe it ex*cept to remark on the' rich and attrac-tive attire of the male, which at oncecommands attention". The mallard vaifirst introduced into New Zealand in1867 by the Qtago AcclimatisationSociety, and since that time other im-portations were made by the WeUiag*;ton, Auckland, Canterbury, and South-land societies.' According to the Hon.G.M. Thomson,the mallard has becomepartially established in the southernpartof the South Island, and is also t»be met with on the lakes of the "Wai-kato district. This bird is likewise not1uncommonon the Wairarapa Lake, andItKe lagoons surrounding it. Mr. Thor-nson expressed the view, however, thatIwithout very close protection themallard cannot survive. Several grey -I ducks and one pair of spoonbills orshoveller ducks were also seen on th«

I lagoon in question.

I The name mallard, strictly speaking;I should. ,be applied1 to tlie male birdI only, as it is: derived from the French

malart, .which is; applied to the maleIof; the wild duck and domesticate*Ibreeds. Mallard, however, is nowI generally employed to include bothI sexes. The difference in the plumageI of the two sexes is most marked, butIwhen the male bird moults the wholeJof his characteristic gay/garment heIappears for a while in the sober trowaI garb of the duck. The mallard holdsI a prominent place amongbirds of theI Northern Hemisphere, as it ia distributeled for.the greater part throughoutthatI portion of the globe. It is bo well, I adapted to meet varying condition!I that its presence may be expectedI wherever a tract of country occurs eal-I culated to supply it with food andI opportunities for breeding. The nest-I iae habits of the mallard in a wildIstate in New Zealand do not appearIto have been recorded yet, althoughI they•probably differ in no great degret iI from the bird's habits in its nativeI countries. There the nest may,be locat-I ed on an islet in a river, in a tuft ofIreeds surronnded by quagmire, amongI thick bushes near the bank, under theI stump of an alder or even high up

' I among the branches of a tree. Itisnot unusual for the native grey duck

Ito build its nest in trees. The writerI well remembers locating the nest of a

I erey duck in a white pine tree, fullyforty-five feet, from the ground. The

I adult bird was seen to fly from the[tree and circle round in an evidentIanxious manner, and a few minnteaI later first one and then six other duck-I lines fell from the tree to; the1Erouna--lln spite of the fact.that the youngsters

dropped such a distance, and one inI falling struck a branch, theyall landedI without injury and immediatelybegan.Ito squeak. It was most comical to seeI them tumblingdown from the tree.

I Several other aiativer birds wer«I noticed in the Manawatu district at

I well as the ducks and stilts. TheIpukeko, for instance, was representedlin fair numbers on a certain lagoonI near Palmerston North, while at theI mouth of the Manawatu Biverboth theI black-backed and the red-billed gullI were noted,besides the banded dotterel.• I A few harriers were seen in variousII parts of the district, and ona lake near

I Himitaiigi a flock of twenty blackIi I swans reposed on its waters. TheI writer also had an opportunity of

_in-

I I specting a specimen of the spine-I I tailed swift found in an orchard atI Linton last year. In the same locality;I I a banded rail was obtained aboutA I twelve months ago, in close proximity ,5| Ito the main road. '"."'>

l| I The white-headed stilt seems to *>•II well distributed in-the Manawatu dis-|| I trict, as it was seen> by the writer at11/ I Awapuni, near Palmerston North, onll the boarders of a lake, near Himitangi,II and at the mouth of the Manawatu11 Eiver. At the latter locality severalII • birds of. this species were seen fossiek-||- ing-.about a shallow stretch of water*fi|'|in the neighbourhood of. which were||r several people whose presence appear-|| ed- to .cause; the birds little eon-it .I cern.; The stilt is not an uncommon11?' bird in other parts of the Manawatn.HI :: as well, and certainly profits by th«H|:. I measure of protection extended to it.|j| : ;The long, slender legs at once attractHr the attention of the average person,if| I while its yapping note, something likeil| I that of a pup, is characteristic of theHi Ispecies. Although the white-headed111 I stilt is relatively a common bird, andH| ■ in fact, is reported as having increase!ml I in numbers in Recent years, little orS| nothingis heard these daysof the blacljt51 stilt. It appears as if this bird has dis-H appeared-from the Wellington district,|M Iwhere it was formerly reported by th*■"* llate Sir Walter Buller. Exactly why,

the black stilt, with habits similar to>to. 1 those of the white-headed «tilt, has dis-

-1 appeared while the latter species apt7. Ionly maintains its position but isie Iactually increasing in numbers is hardr/ to understand. The black stilt is re-

I stricted to New Zealand,and it wonlijbe interesting to know it any birds ofj this species have been seen in recent: I years. The last record the writer ha»I of thebird's presence conies from Lak«I Wanaka, in the South Island.

UNITED FOR ACTION

Mr. Coates sprang a pleasant sur-prise'upon. the country three weeks •ago when,, on the ground of ,the"urgent and immediate action" de- semanded by its serious economicand jjfinancial position, he moved in the jyHouse ofRepresentatives ththat it be a recommendation to the mGovernment thatrepresentatives of thepolitical parties should be called to- ;gethcr in order to decide what remedial stlsteps should be taken to adjust the sijnational expenditureand to provide for sêquality of sacrifice and a proper ais- ■•*tribution of the burdens. "Yesterday the outcome of the Three-Party Economic Committee which aiwas set up in pursuance ofhis motion. f(was that a second surprise was jjjsprung upon the country which wasfar more pleasant than the first,one. lvAnd the credit due to Mr. Coates is c<not diminished but increased by the C(fact thatbetween these two pleasant j}surprises there must have been one rjor two which were decidedly un- Vlpleasant to himself. To suggest that c]in moving his motion he had any jtsinister or face-saving object in view, j,or any object at all except what it adeclared,is plainly absurd. It would 0have been a "curious courtship" in-deed which began with an invita- ption to an implacable third party to 0the interviews. Such talk may be tjgood enough for the malevolence or jytlie humour of party, but there is $not enough substance in it to justify aa serious refutation. vWhat the-Opposition Leader had jin view was to get a more intimate rjknowledge of the. bedrock facts thancould be prudently made the subject cof a public disclosure; to have them rexpounded by experts and otherswithout the reserve that publicity jwould impose; to ensure a calmer, ifreer, and more candid considera- 1tion of the evidence by a small Com-mittee, representing all parties thanwas possible in the heat of public .debate; 'and to seek some common .ground on which they might all co-operate in repelling a common dan-ger. Entering the conference in thespirit which his motion'implied, Mr.Coates found the facts strong enoughto disturb some of his preconcep- .tions and to compel his assent to a jmore intimate co-operation with theGovernment than he had previouslydeemed possible. The justificationfor his change of view—or, as fromour standpoint no justification -is;.neededfor a change which is at oncetransparently honest and dictated ~solely by a regard for the needs of ,the country,let us rather saythe rea- ,son for his change of view—couldnot be better stated than in his own jlanguage:—

Thenature of the evidence placed be-fore the Committee,wasenoughfor anyman to be concerned; about the im- 'mediate welfare of this countryunless 'theproblems were tackled immediately. \Those problems must be tackled with ,determination and absolute fairness toevery citizen of the country, and on apolicy or programme calculated to at ileast'bring about stability, confidence,and,I hope, rehabilitation to the coun- 'try. "While we are discussing elections,while we are discussing this policy andthat policy, we are not getting any-where,and it is only from a very strongsense of public duty that I hare asked•my supporters and candidates—andthey are behind me to a man—to carrythrough a programme of legislationthe nature of which has been discussedwith members of my party and withthe Prime Minister and his group, andthere is general agreement as to neces-sity for action being taken without anyfurther delay. If we fail to take thataction we shall bo neglecting our dutyto the people of this country.

The essential needs of the countryare stability, confidence,and re-habilitation, and but little has beendone for them during the seven criti-cal weeks that have passed since theintroduction of the Budget. Whilethe two principal parties have re-mained at arm's length "discussingelections," "discussing this policyand that policy," but "not gettinganywhere," while parties have notbeen getting anywhere, the ship ofState has been getting steadily nearerand nearer to the rocks. The partialparalysis of her seamanship whichhas arisen from the dissensions ofhercrew is now at an end, and we maysoon hope to see her1 making head-way on her true course and "well outof the danger zone. Who has comeout top in the settlement of thesequarrels is a question about whichthere is no need to get excited now.Nobody has won and nobody haslost. The settlement is equally hon-ourable to both.leaders, and it willbe equally honourable to both partiesif they faithfully follow the exampleof good sense, mutual forbearance,and loyalty to the public interestswhich their 'leaders have set. Wespeak of "parties" in the plural be-■oause it is clear that Mr. Coates is

correct in his contention that thesettlement does not effect the fusionto which he has consistently objected.

Itmust be remembered,lie says, thatthis arrangement which has been madeis a combination which does not des-troy either party. Siuco it cannot bo anational arrangement, it is a coalitionfor the purposo of passing legislationthat both parties deom essential andnecessary in tho intorests of thocountry.

On the1 eve of the Imperial fcon-ference of 1926 Mr. Coates, if weremember rightly, disclaimed any in-tention on the part of New Zealand'srepresentatives to split hairs'or makefinepoints. We recommend thespiritof this disclaimer to the hotheadsand the dialecticians of both theparties to the partnership concludedyesterday. Whether, that partnershipis best described as a National Go-vernment or a Coalition Governmentor a Coalition pro tern. Governmentis a futile,and might easily becomea mischievous, inquiry. The essentialfact is that it is a Forbes-Coates Go-vernment, pledged to maintain notmerely a truce tut a loyal co-opera-tion between the two parties and tosubordinate all party interests andrivalries to the interests of the coun-try until the economic storm haspassed. Another material part isthat it is a Forbes-Cdates Govern-ment and not a Coates-Fofbes Go-vernment. It is probable that manymore intended coalitions have beenwrecked on the preliminary point ofprecedence involved in the questionof leadership than ever came intobeing. But ifmay.safetybe assumedthat in the present case this,delicateissue has made no trouble at all,and the manner in which it has beensettled supplies another proof of thedisinterestednessof Mr.Coates. WhenMr. Forbes issued his appeal forthe formation eof a National Govern-ment he honourably refrained fromany stipulationregarding the leader-ship, though by the time he hadsurvived the ordeal of the emergencysession he had fairly earned it. Butit is none the less honourable to Mr.Coates that he has freely recognisedthis right waived the personalambition which a majority of hisfollowers might well have supportedhim" inasserting.

Next only in importance, to thetwo, leaders in the opinion of thecountry—an opinion held iri a morecomplete disregard of party than inthe case of either of them—is Mr.Downie Stewart. He is almost uni-versally recognised as one of theclearest-Headedmen in the House, asits ' best-informed and most alertImperialist, as by far its ablest fin-ancier,, arid as the principal architectof the new Government. Mr. Stewarthas won everybody's confidence asFinance Minister and by the fairnessOf his financial criticism in Opposi-tion^ and when Mr. Coates counteredMr. Forbes's proposal of fusion withtheôffer of the services of a smalladvisory committee, there,were manywho thought that the -loan of Mr.Downie Stewartto take charge of theTreasury would havebeen a far morevaluable offer. To-day the hope andconfidence with which the countryregard the new Government are in-spired in large measureby the know-ledge that the Treasury will claimhim "for keeps.'! With the threeleading positions so well filled anda due loyalty on the part of the dis-appointed aspirants to the othersthe Government should soon justifythe high hopes of the nation.

ECONOMY AT HOMEA Coalition Government is to beformed for financial rehabilitation.One of its main duties will be re-duction of expenditure. It cannotdo better than by beginning economy

at home^—in the Cabinetroom. Wenow have a Cabinet of thirteen Min-isters, and one Memberof the Execu-tive Council without portfolio. AllMinisters receive salaries and travel-ling allowances. In 1914 the num-ber of Ministers was nine, and weare pleased to see it reported thatthe new Cabinet will be about thesame size." Reduction will entailmore * assiduous:J*'attentiont "to theduties that are strictly Ministerialthan some Ministers have given inthepast. There will be less time fortravelling, and less time for inspec-tions (which could be made by offi-cers)., and such semi-social functionsas opening buildings. This will dono harm, and the moral effect of areduction of Cabinet costs will bemost valuable. All over the countrythe cry for a reduction in the size ofParliament has been taken up withenthusiasm. Such a reduction, couldnot be brought about quii>lv, andthere are difficulties attending itsgradual accomplishment. .'But' theCabinet can be reduced at once andwith no such difficulty. If this isdone it will be an earnest of theGovernment's sincerity, and of its de-termination to allow no political ob^stacles (such as the placating of pro-vinces or supporters) to. stand in theway of financial reform. Personalconsiderations have riot hindered theformation of a CoalitionGovernment,and we believe that the need of tliehour is so well understoodby the twopartiesthat the personal sacrifice, en-tailedin Cabinetreduction will alsobe made willingly.!

THEORY BUT NOT PRACTICE

Without entering, on a detailed.examination of the Labour manifestoor minority report, we woufd drawattention to one glaring instance ofinconsistency. In summing up thecauses of difficulty, the report referstoincreasing external debtcharges (whichcannot be reduced), mortgages, andother financial contracts (which aredifficult to modify"without serious dan-ger to the vrtiol© fecononiie and socialstructure of the Dominion).

Reading thus far, one might be ledto compliment the Labour delegateson their perception (though, it is alittle belated) of the grave risks at-tending compulsory cancellations ormodifications of contracts. '/he Pub-

lie Trustee, who is able to surveythe problem from all sides, madebrief reference to some of the diffi-culties in his report. , ,:

In considering tho question of relief(he said), it must not be overlookedthat tho circumstances of tho benefi-ciaries dopondont upon tho estates arooften more unfavourai lo than those ofthe mortgagors or debtors seeking re-lief from their obligations, so that anyconcessions afforded to thelatter wouldadd to the embarrassment of thosebeneficially interested in the estatesand dependent upon tho income' there-from.But any thought that the Labourdelegates, perceiving the dangers,had courageously stopped their cam-paign against mortgagees and with-drawn their demand for compulsoryinterest reductipn is disappointedwhen one comes to the remedies pro-posed in the report. Though finan-cial contracts are "difficult to modifywithout serious dafnger to the wholeeconomic and social structure of theDominion,"the report proppses a 20per cent, reduction in all mortgagesand leases where anagreement is notmade within three months. There isa right of appeal certainly, but themortgagee or lessor (whose contractrights are cancelled) must be theappellant-—Labour gives lip-serviceto sound principles—while it issmashing them with both hands.

CITY BUSINESS AND PROFITSThe City Council having resolved

on a\ special investigation of allmunicipal affairscould not well haveanticipatedthis inquiry by separatingthe Tramwaysand Electricity Depart-ments as proposed by CouncillorM'Keen. " If "separation is advisablethe Commission will be able to re-commend it, after more thoroughconsideration than the Council couldgive to the subject in a,brief debate.But Councillor M'Keen's proposaland the debate upon it served/a use-ful purpose in calling public atten-tion, and the attention of the Coun-cil itself,to certain important facts:(1) That huge sums from electricityprofits (Councillor M'Keen said£65,000 in five years) had been di-vertedfrom the Department; (2) thatthe management ofthe tramways.hashad a big hurdle to surmount in theunpayable long-distance fare fixedbythe Council. It may be argued thatthe diversion of electricity profits isof less importance than it seems;that the money goes back to the pub-lic (and more or less to the samepeople) just as if it w.ere given ina reduction of, charges. This is- truein a measure, but it is not whollytrue. Nor is it sound. It is betterto keep rates and light charges sep-arate. Then the ratepayer who isalso an electricity userwill lenow heis fairly treated. When his elec-tricity payments are used 40 lightenhis rates hecannot be sure. The sec-ond point—-what the low long-dis-tance fare costs—is one which mustbe remembered by,would-be reform-ers and critics of tramway manage-ment. " 'NEWS OF THE DAYYesterday in Parliament.

An atmosphere of expectancy pre-vailed in Parliament Buildings yester-day until the House of Representativesmet in the afternoon. It was then re-vealed by thePrime Minister that stopswere being taken to sot up a CoalitionGovernment,with the assistance of theReform Party, to tide the country overthe difficulties with which it was con-fronted. The announcement of thePrime Minister was received by theHouse without any great manifestationof surprise, and his motion, that theHouse should adjourn was adoptedafter a debate during which the Labourand Independent representatives on theInter-Party Committee took advantageof the opportunity of placing on re-cord what had transpired during thoCommitteeproceedings. The Leader ofthe Opposition outlined the attitude oftho Reform Party, and thePrime'Mini-ster promised the House that further de-tails would be suppliedwhen the Housoresumed on Tuesday.Tuis in Sunedin.

Great interest has been taken re-cently by residents of Maori Hill in apair of tuis, says the Dunedin "Star."These birds have been feeding for sometime on the berries of a coprosina bushwhich, overhangs the footpath inNewingtoh avenue.

on the common jury at the SupremeCourt at Greymouth (reports the "GreyRiver Argus"). Later, when calledbefore Mr. Justice Adams, on oath, howas asked by the registrar to statehis objections to serving on the*.jury."I object to assist in the administrationof the capitalistic law," he said. Theregistrar: "Why?" "Because I believeit is unfair," replied the miner. "Why?"again asked the registrar. "Because itis biased in favour of the owningclasses," was the reply. "Have youplenty of jurors, Mr. Registrar?" ask-ed his Honour.' Upon receiving an af-firmative reply, his Honour said to theobjector: "Yes, you may be excused."

CORRESPONDENCEPRICE OF WHEAX/AND

FLOUR

(To the Editor.)Sir,—Will you permit me to-make com-

ment on some of, the statements made byMr. \V. W. Mulholland,chairman o£ theNew Zealand Wheatgrowers' Co-operativeAssociation in his letter published inyourissue of 10th September. Mr. Mulhollandsays that the proposed reduction;-in theGovernmentguarantee to the wheatgrowerwill bring the price well below the co^t ofproduction, this statement of coursfe.ismisleading. Each year there is ti surplusof wheat produced. Wheat returns thefarmer such v handsome profit at present-day prices that farmersrepeatedly growit on land nnsuited for' its production.AVhat must the returns be on those ureaswhich are capable of producing crops asheavy as any other part of the world?■ In forecasting that an open market forwheat in New Zealand would throw thou-sands of farmers in New Zealand intobankruptcy, Mr. Mulholland does not men-tion the fact that the averageacreageperwheat grower in New Zealand is 38 acresand that there are few, if any, South.Is-land fannersentirely dependent on ■wheat-growing, which'is conducted as a very^prb-fitable sideline for which the consumingpublic.payvery dearly. '' Mr.'Mulholland's closing remarks thatthe benefit of free, wheat would mean areduction of only Id per loaf of bread,thousands added .to the unemployed .andgreater profits' to importers, are of coursetoo ridiculous to be considered seriously.The cost of bread reduces by Id per loafwith each reduction of £2 10s per ton offlour—'the difference between the price ofNew Zealand flour/and landedcost of Aus-tralian flour is £9 15s,or equivalent to;4dper loaf. By uemgthese figures for com-parisonIdo not advocate the free importa-tion of Australian flour. . The cost of pro-ducing flour in New Zealand must be thesame if not cheaper than in Australia.

In spite of the duty 500 tons of Austra-lian'flour is imported into New Zealandmonthly. If.wheat were a free marketthese importatioonswouldnot be made. Anextra 500 tons of flour would be manufac-tured in New Zealand monthly,givingmoreemployment.—l am, etc.,

DECREASED PURCHASINGPOWER

(To the Editor.)Sir,—The letter of "Ketailer" in your

issue of 17th September is a beautiful cxtample of the kind of muddled thinkingthat prevails so largely at the presenttime. He complains of the failure of wagecuts as a means of restoring the prosper-ity of the country. Now, nobody withany sense ever said that wagecuts wouldf'restore prosperity."- That can only bedone by getting higher prices for our pri-mary products, which is not likely tohappen, at least for some time. . It is thedrop in our national income which has re-duced the purchasing power of the public,not the'wage reductions which are onlypart of areadjustment to meet that drop.I myself am fortunate in having a job

at present and I have also—or have haduntil recently—a useful little (supplemen-tary income from a certain sum .investedmostly in farm securities.- My "earnedincome" has been cut 10 per cent., butmy "unearned1 income" has been cut fully50 per cent, owing to the inabilityof farm-ers to pay their interest as usual. Conse-quentlymy purchasing power is consider-ablydecreased. I have had to find cheap-er quarters and spend less on-clothes,amusements, and other things, and otherpeople are the poorer for the loss of themoney,which I would have circulated- butnow cannot circulate because it has nevercome into-the country to begin with—first to the farmer,and then to me.Multiply this small instance by thou-sands all over the country and consider thedecreased purchasing power of the farmingcommunity themselves and all the indus-tries and businesses dependent on them,aud the loss of;trade that "Ketailer" com-plains of is easily understood. He willjusthave to accept the fact that the pur-chasing power of the whole community islessened and arrangehis business accord-ingly.—lam, etc., -W.A.

SHIPPING COMPETITION

(To the Editor.)Sir,—Beforearguing on the question o£

imposing restrictions on foreign and heav-ily-subsidised steamers which are enter-ing intercolonial trade it is well, followingold Euclid; to state the following postu-lates: ■■...'■ ■-■' .. V :, . ". .(a) English and colonial shipping com-panies are suffering most severely as theresult of the great tradedepression. Manycompanies have paid no dividends/andboth in GreatBritain and out here thereis-a large number ofrships, which are outof commission,with the consequential unVemployment of British Bubjecte as; fire-men, seamen, stewards.,officers, etc; Inthis Dominion it is authoritatively statedthat there are over one thousand-seafar-ing men out of work. ■ ,'

'■■ (b) At the present time one of the chiefaims of English'and Dominion statesmenia to foster to the greatest possible .extenttrade between the various components oftheBritish Empire. - -The Dominions havedone a great deal in thta.direction by pre-ferential tariffs. Great Britain has givena large amount of financial help to-theDominions, and has, at great expense,supported a navy for mutual protectionwith comparatively small: assistance fromthe Dominions.. • '. .

(c) Though in the future wars'withlethal weapons May not occur, it is a factthat a keen contest.for trade is going on,and GreatBritain's chief singlecompetitoris the United States,e.g.,in South Amer-ica, China, arid' Russia. ; ■

(d) American shipping companies arereceiving very large State subsidies for theexpress purpose of enabling them to in-crease their fleets in order that they maycapture the trade of British-owned lines;also to enable American ships to be usedas subsidiary warships in the event ofwar. .

(c) Great Britain is seriously crippledthrough owing a gigantic war-debt to theUnited States.(f) The United States will riot allow any/but their own ships to carry passengers orfreight between their own ports.

(g) Great Britain is the chief customerfor the products of this Dominion. TheUnited States,by,high duties, excludes allbut a fraction of;our produce.'

The foregoing, I believe^ Sir, are factswhich must be granted'by anyone"who isau courant with the1case; and it is diffi-cult to understand how your correspond-ent who assumes the name "Progress"can hold the opinion that the competi-tion of this highly-subsidised Matson lineis legitimate,"-and that this line shouldbe allowed untrammelled facilities—indeedencouraged—to carry passengers andfreight.betweenBritish ports in the. Paci-fic. . '■ .■■•: . .;.' ■ ..".■. ;■•'■' : >"Progress" feelscertain that7"all broad-minded New Zealanders?. will .share hisview that the highly-subsidised Matsouli»e should be supported. " For my partI. am satisfiedthat only those who arevery short-sighted will adopt his views.I am inclined toy think that the viewsof "Progress," with respect to Americancompetition, would undergo a. profoundchange if some highly-subsidisedAmericancitizen were to start in an.adjacent officeand in the same line of business as'Progress." Unfortunately, for the con-

troversy, this cannot be tested.In reply to the deputation which waitedon him on the 15th instant, the PrimeMinister is reported to have said thatNew Zealand practically had no power toplace restrictions on foreign ships whichcome to our ports, and that it is mainly amatter of English policy. This statementseems to be entirely opposed to the claimwhich is made that since the last twoImperial Conferencesthe Dominions,exceptm such matters as the declaration of warand peace, are free to act as their re-spective interests dictate. I cannot imag-ine Canadaor Australia, in such a caseas now under discussion, withholdingaction until the consent of the Parlia-ment of GreatBritain had been obtained.Further, according to the MelbourneAge. we already have legislation underwhich restrictions—if considered desir-able—can be imposed on foreign sliiysWith respect to Australia I believe I■am correct in stating that for many yearsthe.P. and 0.,-Orient, and-other English

mail boats havebeen prevented from carry-ing passengersand cargo between Austra-lian ports. If Cabinet were united on(.his matter of competition of Americanships there would be no trouble iv gettingAustralia and' l\iji_ to co-operate in iui-liosing such restrictions as.-Would,at least,equalise the position. ,■ '■

' In conclusion,I shall express the hopethat the Associated Chambers of Com-merce will continue to press for the ne-cessary action to betaken -to' preventthishighly-subsidised Matson line from steal-ing the trade of our own ships and throw-ing out of employment avery large num-ber of our own seafaring men —I-'-am,etc., ...'■' .- . ■ ■ ' .

MINING YEAR

SEASCH FOR GOLD

OPERATIONS REVIEWED

STATE - MINE STOPPAGES

The Millies Statement, presented toParliament yesterday by. the Ministerof Mines (the Hon. A. J. Murdoch)states that, during the latter portion ofthe past year very ■widespread and re-new.cd.interest was taken in prospect-ing for gold and.other minerals.-" V ■■'■';.: The Minister stated that a recordnumber of subsidies was granted byhim, but it was too early yet to.beable to make a pronouncement on theresult? of the work carried out. Itwas pleasing to be able to point outthat the number of persons or com-panies producing gold/in the year 1930was almost 20 per cent, greater thanduring the preceding year. It wouldappear that the general consensus ofopinionof a miningrevival takingplacein. New Zealand was stronger to-daythan for many years past, and sooneror later it would be found that a num-ber of low-grade mining areas inseveral parts of the Dominion wouldbe worked on a very large and compre-hensive scale,and with satisfactory re-sults financially. The quantity of goldand silver produced during J930 wasgreater than for several yearstoast, butowing to the drop in the selling priceof silver there had*not been a propor-tionate increase in the value."<■ ■ ' :

tho year ; seven; companieswere engaged in boring for oil inseveral parts of the Dominion, and theaggregate.footage, bored 'by them

Referring to the State coal mines,the Minister said there was no doubtin his mind that there were too manystoppages, and if they could be ob-viated the Government wonld be In: a position to reduce the selling priceof coal to the public. » "CHANGE COMINGUNSETTLED WEATHER

The weather has continued to be,fairto fine generally under the influence ofan anti-cyclone.

POINT OF VIEW;- At a meeting convened by the Wel-lington Automobile Club to discuss thedesirability of providing another out-let to the North from Wellington, a,number of speakers urged that such,was "a matter of national import-ance."

THE COALITIONDETAILS LATER

THE INTER-PARTY COMMITTEE

'•A COMPLETE FIASCO"After concluding the discussion on

the formal motion to adjourn, whichenabled the' proceedings of tho Intor-Party Economic Committeoto bo fullydiscussed, the House of Representa-tives ioso yesterday afternoon untilnext Tuesday evening, when it isexpected that the Prime Minister willmake a detailed statement of the resultsof the Committee'swork.

Continuing his speech after "ThePost" went to press, tho Independentmember of the Committee, Mr. C. A.Wilkinson (Egmont),said that from thovery beginning of tho conference hehad urged the setting up of aNationalGovernment,and in the end he hadmoved a resolution to that effect.

Mr. D. G. Sullivan (Labour, Avon):"Was it carriedi" ,

Mr. "Wilkinson: "Most unfortunate-ly it was never put. It was side-track-ed by an amendment from the memberfor Auckland West."

Mr. J. M'Combs (Labour, Lyttel-ton): ''That also was never put.''

Mr. Wilkinson said that the reformsthat it would.be necessaryto.carry out•could not be carried by a minority Gov-ernment, and apparently the United andReform parties had realised this.

A. Labour member: "Have you re-ceived an invitation to join the. Gov-ernment?"

Mr. Wilkinson: "I want to make itperfectly clear that the negotiationswhich have taken place between thetwo parties havebeen outside my know-ledge. The Independent group has notbeen consulted."

A member: "Sour grapes."!'Mr. "Wilkinson: "There is no attrac-

tion in the suggestion for me.'?FEARED THE VERDICT.

Mr. M'Combs declared that the Com-mittee's proceedings had been a com-plete fiasco; Mr. Wilkinson had beenobsessed with the one idea of bringingabout a fusion or the formation of aNational Government. "The Reformand United Parties feared to go to thecountry," lie said; "they feared toaccept the verdict of the people."

' Mr: Speaker: "Order!"Mr. M'Combs: "Iwill withdraw theword "fear" and say they showed re-luctance in allowing the people to ex-press their opinion on the legislationand.administration of the last two orthree years." Certain 'economies hadbeen outlined before the Committee, hesaid, which it was contemplated puttinginto operation, it was estimated'thatthey would mean a saving of a millionor possibly a million and a half peryear. Wholesale dismissals from thePublic Service would be made.

The Minister of Agriculture (theHon. A. J. Murdoch): "Was thatstated?".

Mr. M'Combs: "Definitely and em-phatically stated. If the Ministercan say how economies amounting to amillion or a million and a half couldbe made without wholesale dismissalsfrom the Public Service he will be ableto tell the House what ho member ofIns party was able to tell the EconomicCommittee.".

The Minister of Labour (the Hon. S.Gf.Smitii): "We thought you wereshuffling."OTHER ECOXOMIES.

The attitude of the Govern-ment, said , Mr. M'Combs, hadbeen that they would take thoelection ' first and effect economiesafterwards without haying mentionedthem at the election; or, alternatively,they would make the economies andpostpone'tho election and thus avoidthe indignation of th,o electors. Ofcourse, the dismissals and "economieswere sometimes euphemistically termedadjustments of the Public Service.Then the Arbitration Court would beended or amended so that conditionsfor the workers might be modified, andas a result of those modifications wageswould be reduced. The question ofeffecting economies of half a millionin the Education-Department had beendiscussed by the Committee,but whentho Labour members had asked" howthey had been told, "Oh, just do it."Mr. M'Combs went on to protest!against the country's intprests beingobscured by.consideration of advantageor disadvantage to a party or toparties. The Prime Minister had laida trap for the Leader of the Opposi-tion, and had caught his bird. Post-ponement of the election was a- betray-al of democracy. The present Parlia-ment had been elected for threo yearsand had a mandate from the people tolegislate for three years, and mem-bers of the House were not entitled tosay there should be an extension.

CONCERN IN CANADARAILWAY SITUATION

ROYAL COMMISSION MOOTED

LINES NOT -PAYING

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

(Received 19th Soptember, 1 p.m.)

' OTTAWA, 18th September.The appointment of a Royal Commis-

sion, possibly with Sir Henry Thorn-ton and Mr. Beatty as members,to in-vestigate the railway situation in Can-ada appears probable. Tho matter isunder consideration it is learned. j

The amalgamation of the two sys-tems, the Canadian National and theCanadianPacific, does not appear like-ly. Tho attitude towards railway con-ditions, it is understood; is rather to-wards the elimination of duplicationand a co-operative effort between thesystems in the solution of problems andother steps along the lines of economy.

"The railway situation in Canadaisvery seriousy" said'tho Minister ofRailways, Mr. Manion, at Winnipeg."The CanadianNational will fall con-siderably short of earning its interestdue ,to the public., The earnings of theCanadianPacific also cause concern."

SPORT OF GLIDING

NEW ZEALAND BACKWARD

COUNTRY'S SUITABILITY

Up to the present time glidinghas madevery slow progress..in New Zealand, incomparison with the developments whichhave taken place in' practically every othercountry. Gliding is the means o£mak-ing people air-minded in the broadestsense. ■ It-is a sport closely allied withboth aerodynamics and meteorology, andhas been invaluable to research workersin these branches' of science.

As a stepping-stone in the direction ofpowered flight, gliding is of great value,for not only does it enable a pilot tohandle a powered machine with a veryshort period of instruction, but it pro-duces a better and more intelligentlytrained pilot, both as regards actual hand-ling of the machine and the knowledge ofair currents and meteorology, which willstand him in good stead,thus increasingthe safety of aviation generally. Theaveragetime taken in Germany for a ful-ly qualified soaring pilot to-go solo in alight aferoplane is thirty minutes.

The safety of glidingis proverbial, beinglargely. due to the slow: speeds attainedand the bulk of the structure which, evenin a bad crash, absorbs the shock. Inthe early days, of modern gliding (1922)more than one machine collapsed in theair with.no resultant injury to the pilot.Most, if not all, accidents occurring togliders havebeen due to abnormal treat-ment, such as towingby car or aircraft,attempting to establish looping records,etc. The normal method of launching'aglider is by catapult, which imparts asteady acceleration to the glider and thendrops clear.

New Zealand is a country very suitablefor gliding, owing to the prevalence ofwind and'the topographical features,whichcause the air *to deliver-.the-Tip-currentswhich facilitate glidingflight. ■ "A POOR MAN'S SPORT.

Gliding is a poor man's sport,' and iswithin the,reach of anyone who can af-ford to run a motor-cycle. It is, how-ever, foolish for. an individual to wish topossess his;own machine,fop one glideris of little valiie in itself. There arefour types of glider in general use, name-ly, primary, secondary; professor, andsailplane. The primary type is a simpleand robust structure intended to standhard wear and give the pupil some ex-perience in control whilst skimming abovethe ground. A flight of from 30 secondsto five minutes is considered good on thistype of machine. The secondary type issuitable for launching from hillocks,etc.,and is capable of elementary soaringflights of an hour or more duration. Theprofessor type is capable of quite pro-longed flights, often returningto the start-ing point, and is the final step towardsgliding in the sailplane in which flightsof almost any duration and altitude canIbe performed. For this type of machine!the distance record1 now stands at 176miles from point to point, and the alti-'tude record at 12,m(t,both with ordinarycatapult launching.

With a view to forming a Wellingtongliding section of the New Zealand AirLeague a meeting is to be held in theTown Hall next Thursday. Details areadvertised in this issue.

ORDER TO FLEET

ADMIRALTY ALIVE

HARDSHIPS IN PAY CUTS

FIRST LORD'S TRIBUTE

-(British Official'Wireless.)

RUGBY, 17th September.lii the House of Commons at ques-

tion time, Sir Austen ChamberlainFirst Lord of the Admiralty, statedthat the Admiralty had issued an or-der to the Fleet that ihe Admiraltywas fully alive to the hardshipsamong certain classes of ratings re-sulting from the reduction of pay.

The ships' of tho Atlantic Meet, hesaid, were to proceed to their homoports forthwith to enable a personalinvestigation to be made with a viewto the necessaryalleviation.

Sir Austen paid a tribute to thesenior officerscommanding the AtlanticFleet for the tact and common-sense ofthoir actions, which would, he believed,be warmly echoed .by the men of theFleet. . ; '.'-■■

NO DISLOYALTY.As regards the lower, dock, although

there had been action which could notbe excused, he might almost say that,as such action had been taken at all itspoke well for the general discipline ofthe Navy that it should have passed soquietly and without disturbance.

__^

Ho felt confident that, in accordancewith the traditions of the service, themen would loyallyupholdit, and wouldnot look back to what had happened,but forward to rendering further ser-vice to the country.

After dealing with the detailedcriticism, of tho cuts made by CaptainW. G. Hall (Labour, Portsmouth), SirAusten said that with regard to specialcases of hardships and unfairness theAdmiralty was going to make an in-quiry with the hopeof finding a methodof alleviating hardship.. ■

PURPOSE OF ECONOMIES.The general scheme of economylaid

down by the Government "was requiredin order to restore national prosperityand regain national- credit. They couldriot allow it to be eaten away in detail,but they were quite ready in the caseof exceptional hardship to provide aremedy if they could.

That was the purpose cf the inquirywhich would be opened at the earliestpossiblemoment after the arrival of theships at home ports by,the respectiveCommanders-in-Ohief.It is understood that the Cbmman-

ders-in-Chief of home ports have beensummoned to the Admiralty to discussa plan for the holding of an inquiryinto the grievances of the men regard-ing pay cuts. ■'■■■-

INCIDENT PLACED

IN TRUE PERSPECTIVE

MEMORY WIPED OUT

(British Official Wireleu.)(.Received 19th September, 11 a.m.)

.-.,■ RUGBY, lßtli September. ■Last night's debate in the House of

Commonsoa the recent unrest in theAtlantic Fleet following upon the cutsin naval pay, included in the nationalprogramme of economy,served to placethe incident in its true perspective, .■ The Labour member for Portsmouth,Captain. .W. G. Hall; who initiated thediscussion, emphasised that thecause ofunrest was solely the hostility to cutsin pay which hit married men particu-larly hardly, and,)in his view, broke acontract regarding pay and allowancesconfirmed by successive Governments.Letters from the men showed,that theywould accept any,reasonable "cut whichdid not bring tragedy to their homes.He was glad tho Admiralty had ac-knowledged the existence of specialhardships, and also expressed the opin-ion that the Commanders-in-Ohiofof theAtlautic Fleet had acted promptly andwisely. ' .

The tone and temper of Captain Hall'sspeech was warmly,cheered in all partsof the House, and Commander Ken-worthy claimed that it would servo tocorrect wrong. impressions and sensa-tional inaccuracies published In some-quarters abroad.

CONSIDERING HARD CASES.First Lord of the Admiralty,Sir Aus-

ten Chamberlain, who earlier in the dayhad made a statement givingan assurance that hard caseswould be considered, but thatany further refusals to carryout orders would be dealt with Tinderthe naval Discipline Act, replyingto the debate, also commended theaction of the Commander-in-Chief. Theaction of the men, though technicallyinexcusable, had been marked neitherby rowdyism nor by disrespect. Themovement had never been general andmany had never deserted their duty atall. It had been profoundly distaste-ful to ask the Navy for sacrifices aspart of £ payment which had to bomade for past policy. As for the sac-rifices demanded, he emphasised thatthe naval officers had in fact sufferedprevious cuts not- shared,by the men.The present puts were only the assimi-lation of all ranks to post-1925 rates ofpay. But he recognised that thosewho had undertaken financial and do-mestic liabilities in expectation thatthere would not be- cuts would sufferspecial hardships, and the Govern-ment's final decision in such caseswould bo thoroughly and quicklyreached., ADJUSTMENTS POSSIBLE.

Adjustments were possible, but theGovernment epuld not allow its policyof retrenchment to be eaten away. Heagreed that the pre-1925 men mighthave expected that their rates of paywould be secure. The only excuse fordisturbing this was. the existence of anational, crisis, and ho was sure that■ when the men realised tho emergency, and when cases of special hardshipi were alleviated they would readily ac-: copt their share of universal sacrifice.

An appeal had been made that there• should be no victimisation for what. was past. He agreed that the memoryl of the last few days should bo wipedi out. The past was past, and it was j, to the interests .of everybody to forget

i There was a conferenceat the- Ad-miralty to-day attended by the Com-. manders-in-Chiefat the home' ports ini connection with the inquiry into oxcep-■ tional cases of harship resulting from[ the proposed cuts in naval pay, which. is expected to open on Monday and, which the Admiralty is anxious to ex-[ pedite.

LABOUR LORD"S LETTER

IN SOUTH AFRICASYSTEM OF PROVINCES

PROPOSED ABOLITION

KERTZOG ANNOUNCES(Unitecl Press Association—By Electric Tele-

graph—Copyright.)

CAPE TOWN,18th September.General Hertzog, Prime Minister,

|has announced the' decision of the jGovernment to abolish the system ofprovinces in South Africa after thenext election, centralising the finan-cial authority, and instituting a meas-ure of local Government.

The National Budget is likely toshow a deficit of £2,000,000,and therailways a similar amount.

ECONOMIC STRESSBITTER CONTROVERSY

Economic stress has brought increas-ed attention; to the provincial systemof government in South Africa, andbitter controversy has raged. over thesuggestion that the provinces shouldgo out of existence. As might havebeen expected, the warmest advocatesof the virtues of the provincial systemhave been the Provincial Assembliesthemselves. ' . 'The matter -was brought to the foreby Mr. N. C. Havenga, in the middleof last year. When, forecasting a de-ficit for the financial year, and warn-ing the Union of the inevitability ofhigher taxation and drastic retrench-ment, Mr. Havenga, Minister of En-ance, hinted that the provincial sys-tem mightbe a luxury. Mr. J. H. Con-radie, Administrator of the Cape, atonce urged the desirability of an earlydecision in the matter, pointing to thefact that the uncertainty of the lifeof the Councils would hamper theirwork. With a reservation in the mat-ter of education, he declared there wasmuch to be said for the unification ofthe various functions which the Pro-vincial Councilsnowexercise,but fore-saw difficulties in finding a serviceablesubstitute for them. Sir Frederic' deWaal, for fifteen, years an Administra-tor, declared that the present Councilshad fulfilled their duty, but that theyhad outlived their full usefulnessandwere not now workingsmoothly. "TheCouncils were intended by the framersof the Constitution to be non-party,"said Sir Prederic.de Waal.. "They haveturned out to be more party than. Par-liament itself." 'THE SYSTEM.

Under the South Africa Act, 1909,the executive government of tbe Unionof South Africa is invested in theGovernor-General appointed by theKing, in the Executive Council, actu-ally the Ministry appointed by theGovernor-General in conformity withthe'practice which obtains under thoBritish Constitution, the Senate,whichconsists of 40 members appointed fcrten years, eight by the Governor-Gene-ral, and eight by each of the Provin-cial Legislative Assemblies, convokedprior to the date of the Union, and theHouse of Assembly the numbers ofwhich are based on the adult whitepopulation in each province. The Capehas 57 members in the present House,Natal 17, Transvaal 55, and OrangeFree State 18. Each province is pro-vided with-a Council to deal generallywith all matters which in the opinionof the Governor-Generalare of a localnature. These include education (otherthan higher), agriculture,within limits,local works, game preservation, etcThe chief executive officer is the Ad-ministrator, assisted by a Councilelect-ed for three years. Four memberschosen by the Council for the ExecutiveCommittee.

It was hoped that the, provincialgovernments would be elected on non-party lines, but this has not proved tobe the case, and the system has beengrowing as costly as it has becomeinefficient. In January last, after Mr.Havenga had' revised his expectationof a deficit by successive increases un-til it stood at £1,062,000,,an inter-Pro-vincial Conferencemet and expressedunanimous approval of the continuedexistence of the present system. Theconference,by majority vote, decidedto ask the Governmentto consider theestablishment of a new basis of finan-cial relationship on "a uniform prin-ciple of calculation" for the paymentof certain subsidies and for loans toprovinces in financial difficulties. Apetrol tax to produce funds for road-making was asked, also road grantsfrom the TJailway Administration.

"UNDER BEVIEW."The proposals did not meet favour,

and last month further economies wereembarked upon;by the Union Govern-ment, including the abolition of localallowances to Civil servants, to makea total saving of £1,000,000. Dr. D.P. Malan, Minister of the Interior, indefending these economies,announcedthat the provincial system would beshortly under review, but that he wasopposed to the abolition of the Coun-cils. At the same time, he said, itmust be recbgnised that the roads andeducation had become national ques-tions. He expressed regret at the at-titude of Natal, which sought to re-place the Unionwith a system of fede-rated States, and said that the Gov-ernment conld not for a moment con-sider such a course. A crisis arose inthe Cape ia the same week, the SouthAfrican Party 5n the Council announc-ing that it would refuse to agree toany additional taxation until the fateof the provincial system were madeknown. The leader of the party, Mr.B. O.Sehonegevel, stated that to agree'to further taxes would be to play intothe hands of the Minister of Finance,who had urgedthe provinces to tax, evi-dently in the hope that the provincialsystem would be rendered unpopular.

(Received 19tli September, 9 a.m.)]VANCOUVER,18th September.

A "Sun" message says that theBank ofNova Scotia,which issues thoablest financial review in Canada,takes it practically for granted thatEurope's war debts can never bopaid. It declares *that Germany*under the present arrangement, mustpay in excess of ninety million sterl«ing annually fbr the next 58 years,and in other countries, the grandchild-ren of.children yet unborn must onoday labour to discharge obligationswhich accumulated since 1914.

Even supposing that reparationspayments could in fact be made thabank asks whether creditor nationsare in theposition toreceive thesumsinvolved without suffering a strangu-lation of their own export trade thatwould far transcend in importancethe benefits from, receipt of fundswhich are owed them.

Only goods remain as means oijpayment, and the price decline hasseriously depleted the value of ex^ports, present and future. It thusrequiresno stretch of imagination tavisualise the trade competition thaithe present debtor countries wouldbe compelled to force on their pre«isent creditors, if they are actually tapay their debts by the only meanspossible, namely, increased producetionandexport.

fHE COALITIONATTITUDE OF REFORM

I&SENTIAL HEASTJEES

TEMPORARY COMBINATION

The reasons which actuated the.Reform Party in agreeing to amalga-mate with the United Party in theformationof a Coalition Governmentwere'not stated in detail* in theHpuse yesterday, but the Leader ofthp Opposition intimated that thefullest. information would be givenlater. He made it clear that itwould be a combination of partieswhich would destroy neither party,the being to pass legislationwhich' both parties deemed essentialmthe.country'sinterests. The press-ing,problems of themoment must betackledat once. ' ,

Mr;-Coates said he would not makeany"reference to the discussions of theInter-Party Committee. Much ,of theevidence which had been tendered hadbeen of a confidential nature, and afiiscussion of it in public might bedetrimental-to the country.; Mr.- F. Langstone (Labour, Wai-xnarino): "They always say that."

;Sfr. Coatessaid that members of thoCommitteewould realise that it wouldnot be wise to discuss the evidence.; >Mr. J.-M' Combs(Labour, Lyttelton):"Theytold us nothingnew."

Mr. Coates: "There were severalShatters• raised which, if I mentionedthem- to the honourable gentleman, hewouldrealise that it would not be wiseto-discuss them."

Jtr. .'Langstone: "Theyweren't worth$ :tin of fish." .Mir.. Coatessaid that the reason whythe Reform Party had not made a com-plete-statement of policy was becausejt lacked certain information whichhad not been made available to theCommittee. ' .

1[ AsLeader ofthe Reform Party, lie; »aid,I am, and havebeen, opposed to; anything in the form of a fusion or

a coalition. My statements to thecountry have been clear, and I wassincere in those statements. But theevidence placed before the Committee'was enough, I think, to cause anymantobe concerned as to theimmedi-

< ate welfare of the country if theproblems were not tackled at once.(Reform Hear, hears.)PROBLEMS TOBE TACKLED.

Mr. Coatessaid that those problemsrriust.be tackled with determination andin'absolute fairness to every citizen inihe'cqnntry, and apolicy or programmeshould be-determined calculated at leasttobringabout confidenceand stability,ajid,-he hoped, therehabilitation of thecountry. While they wero talking aboutthiq policy and that policy they wouldnot get anywhere, and it was only outof ;a very strong sense of public dutythat he had asked the members of hisparty to:stand in and carry through aprogrammeof legislation,'the nature ofwhich had been discussed with themas well as with the Prime Minister andhis group. There was general agree-ment between the two parties as to thenecessity-for action being taken with-,■ out any further delay, and the Beform'Party view was that if they failed totajce■ action they would be failing intheir duty to the country.: Mr. B/X. Howard (Labour, 'Christ-,church.- South): "Another secretpolicy.":

;Mr." Coates said that the ReformPafty'had been asked if it was possibleto;form a National Government. ''TheLeader ofthe Labour Party," saiid Mr.Cdatesj "from his point of view, andrigh'tj'y;so, as he had that prerogative,refused to conic in and give effect tothe'^.programme."labour voices: "Oh, that.is notcorrect." ■

3V[r. Coates:"Perhaps I have statedit wrongly. Shall I say that he doesnot favour a National Government?. fs.: He doe.s not agreein any degreewith the proposals of the Eeform Partyso J'far as they are intended for therehabilitation of the country."

' NEITHER PAR'i'Y DESTROYED.'It must be remembered,said-the.Leader.of the Opposition, that thisarrangement that has been made isa .combination of two parties which

' does not destroy either party,' It is» coalition—since it cannot be a"national arrangement—lor the pur-pose .of passing legislation whichboth parties deem essential andnecessary in the. interests of ' the, country. 'Mr-W. E. Barnard (Labour,Napier):

"And- the postponement of tho elec-tion.?'.- - . •The speaker said the country waspassing through, a very difficult positionboth-frpnrthe, budgetaryand the econo-mic point of view. Later on a state-ment' Would.be issued showing the posi-tion, of the country,in respect to thefarmers,; the tradesmen, the businesscotumunity, the workers, and the un-'eirfp.lpyed.i •He asked the House, toj:po««ess itself in'patience until the final'arrangements were completed.

The policy which had Ibeen'discussed was a clear and definiteqixe;-and 'while •it would perhaps bea 'disagreeable duty for members to■parry it out, it would be for thestability and early rehabilitation of thecountry^.

In. conclusion, Mr. Coatessaid thatthe*Labour Party seemed to be out toproject the few men who were on highrates of pay, and they forgot that therewexe.many citizens who were only tooanxious ..to get .work as soon as possible.The^ne.w Governmentwould be able toarrive at such a basis that the positionwoifld. improve, materially.

Masters, who is a mem-ber of the Executive Council withoutportfolio, the Forbes Cabinet is one ofthe largest Now Zealand has known,with a total strength of 14. It is ex-pected that the Coalition Cabinet willcomprise ten paid Ministers, on thebasis of equal representation from theReform and United Parties, but whilethere is any amount of speculation inthe-lobbies at,the present early stageof development as to the probable per-sonnel of the Ministry, the whole thingis still very much in the melting-potstage and subject to the outcome ofnegotiations now proceeding betweenthe leaders.

As the circumstances of the forma-tion of the Coalition Government arechiefly the exigencies of the depres-sion, the greatest consideration in theallocation of portfolios will bo in thehandling of the finance departments.It is regarded as a foregone conclusionthat the six Eeform and United dele-gates to the Inter-Party EconomicCommittee will have places, but, asstated above, tho possibility of anIndependent representative in theCabinet is somewhat obscure. Sir. C.A. Wilkinson, who represented theIndependents on the Committee, madeit clear in' tho House yesterday after-noon that the Independentl group sup-ports the formation of a NationalGovernment, but Mr. Wilkinson indi-cated when pressed by Labour inter-jectors that Cabinet rank had no at-traction for him personally.

VIEWS OF THE PRESSELECTION POSTPONEMENT

REFORM PAPER HOSTILE

(By Telegraph.)(Special to "The Evening Post."): AUCKLAND, This Day.

In. the course of an editorial, on theCoalition and. the Labour Party'.a plan,the "New Zealand' Herald'/ (Eeform)says:—. ■ ■ . ■

"The desire of the Prime Ministerfor; a two-party arrangement is notnew. It has never been concealed.Mr. Coatesand his associates' appearedto have consented to the plan on ac-count of the national emergency"andagainst their better- judgment. Every-thing depends on the policy and pro-gramme it will apply to the circum-stances that caused the Coalition to beformed.1 The only hint of. what to ex-pect is'given by Mr. Holland's accountof the proceedings before the EconomyCommittee. The Government members,he said, had'no plan'to offer and nosuggestions to make. Any modificationo'l what the Budget proposed mustlogically, therefore, be what the Re-fprm Party has suggested.

""With an elaborate programme forwhat Mr. Coateshas. termed 'stabilisa-tion and ,rehabilitation' to be givenlegislative shape,1 the pressure of time•and circumstances might make theholding of an ejection within the nexttwo months or so a difficult matter.There is no reason to believe that sucha. temporary deferring of the day iscontemplated. The prolonging of thisParliament, and for a substantial term,seems indissolubly associated' with thewhole conception of the Coalition move-ment. Such a thing is utterly wrongin principle. Nobody has yet provedthat to postpone the elections would inany way improve the economic outlook.While a final judgmenton the CoalitionGovernment;must be suspended untilits policy appears, tho feeling aboutthe formation of it must needs becoloured by the way, as now revealed,the postponement of the GeneralElec-tion was. made so prominent in thepreliminary negotiations'.."Even when allowance is made forthe haste with which it was presum-ably drafted, the statement of theLabour Party's views upon the presentsituation is not impressive, either as jan analysis of national problems or as;a prescription, for the solution of thedifficulties by which the Dominion isembarrassed. When the national wealthis shrinking under the pressure of ex-ternal influences, the country cannothope for relief from a political partywhose whole, purpose is to harass everyeffort to f.u.gment the national income."

out-mAnoeuvrlmgLABOUR. ' AUCKLAND, This. Day.

I The "Auckland Star" (United)says that -while the country will wel-come the Coalition, it will be verycritical of the delay that has occurred,for. which both the Government andKeform are responsible. The Houseshould ':have been called togetherearlier, and Keform would have beenmuch readier to help the Government.The second half of the financial yearwill have begun before' the amendedBudget i 8ready. "Members of Par-liament must not be surprised if, inthese' circumstances, public opiniongrows more and more suspicious of mo-tives, and more and more dissatisfiedwith Parliament's record," says the."Star.''

After: referring to the tasks aheadof the Government; and pointing outthat the Labour policy is constructive,arid contains some helpful suggestions,the "Star" concludes that the questionof postponing the.,elections is affectedby the delay referred to. In the veryexceptional circumstances,;/not for amoment' should party considerations beallowed to, weigh in deciding when theelections' should be held, and any at-tempt to alter the law with the idea ofout-manoeuvring-, the Labour Partyshould meet with, the strongest dis-approval, and would almost certainlyrecoil disastrously on its proposers. Thesole concern of everybody now shouldbe the good of the country, and partyconsiderations should be laid entirelyon one side.

satisfactory, as we believe it will bealso to the majority, of the people inthe Dominion. The fact that thoSocialists will, by reason of their ownpolitical exclusiveness,not be repre-sented in the Government, will detractfrom the national character of the Ad-ministration, but will place them inthe position that they will constitutethe Opposition .to a Governmentbeingcalled into existence for the perform-ance of a national duty, so importantand so urgent as to demand that unitedeffort shall be directed to its execution.It is not the most happy position theSocialists will occupy,but it is a posi-tion deliberately created for them bythemselves under their own concep-tion of the place they should fill in thopolitical life of tho country.

CITY COMMISSION

A SAVING OVERLOOKED?

THE MAYOR'S VIEWS

Asked for his personal opinion on thiaction taken by• the City Council iiarranging for the appointment of scommission of investigation into Weilington's civic system the Mayor (MrT. C. A. Hislop) said that it was noiquite what he had suggested.

'iThe work that the committee setup by the council will have to do,':said Mr. Hislop, "is to select and recommend to the council the'individualeto" carry out the investigation. Inaccordance with the resolution they arcto' bo an engineer, an accountant, anda third person. .For their investiga-tions to be successful,and for any re-commendations ,to carry weight, it isessential of course that the commis-sioners appointed should be people ofthe highest standing. The work theywill be called upon to do will be ex-ceedingly extensive and laborious, andwill.requiremuch technical and generalknowledge, consequently it will not boeasy to select individuals, suitable forthe task." .

"The amendment which I myselfproposed, and■-which was defeated,sug-gested that in the first instance theTown Clerk should be relieved tempor-arily from, his duties as Town Clerk,and that he should make, in conjunc-tion with the committee, a completeinvestigation in all branches of the ser-vice, and report his recommendationsto the committee.. I still think thiswould have been the best course, be-cause it would necessarily have result-ed in the collection of a vast amountof data, and therecommendations wouldbe by one who. is already conversantwith the general, operations of tho cor-poration."If, after thereceipt oi his report

and investigations'by the committee, itivas.found that a further investigationwas required,1 then such a commissionis 13 embodied in the motion whichwas actually carried could have beenset up, and the commissioners wouldha-je been able to start their workwith a great mass of material ready forthem, and a great part of the task al-ready done. In this way much of thetime that will necessarily be involvedin the commission's inquiry would besaved,-anda very considerable amount)f expense curtailed; However, oneonust accept !the motion as carried bythe council, arid the committee set uptvill now be meeting in the course of afew days for tho purpose of prelimin-iry discussion, and consideration of theindividuals who should bo asked *toIundertake the inquiry."

REGIONAL PLANNING

HUTT COUNTY'S DOUBTS

PARTIAL APPROVAL

REPRESENTATION THE BAR

An inuoeuous-looking resolutionwhich, the Hutt County Council was re-quested in a covering letter from theDirector of Town Planning to passroused an interesting discussion nt themeeting of the County Council yester-day afternoon, and drew the remarkfrom the chairman (Mr. I>. R. Hog-gard) that it was in the same categoryas an offer of marriagej something thatcould be accepted or rejected later.While quite a lot was said in favourof the regional planning scheme, ob-jectionsnot without weightwere raised,chief amongst them being the small re-presentation afforded counties as com-pared with boroughs, and doubts asto what degree the experiment wouldprove expensive, . particularly ifthe regional committee could over-ridethe council's decisions in such mattersas subdivisions.

The resolution which was dalliedwith was as follows:—"Pursuant tosection 8 of the Town Planning Act,1929, the Hutt County Council herebyresolves to unite with the local authori-ties set-out in the schedule for thepurpose of preparing a regional plan-ning scheme for the whole of the totalareawithin their several jurisdictions."

GOVERNMENT LEAD WANTED.Councillor Blackley, who represents

the council on the Town PlanningBoard, said that if regional planninghad been brought up in connection witha Lands Development Act it wouldhave been a greater success. Therepresentatives of counties had almostgenerally supported regional planning.Propaganda from northern countieshad largely affected the interest arous-ed, and ho was afraid the Governmenthad not improved things by failing togive a lead to the public.

Anyone must realise that without adefinite plan for 'the development ofthe country as a whole money must bewasted. This was shown in. what -hadcom© as-a shock in- the report of theBailway Board, which was a clear!example of the inefficient way in which |the country-hadbeen run. The recur-rence ■of that, wastage should be pre-jvented. . . . • . . I

SMALL INITIALCOST. iThe report of the Transport. Board

last year had. given strong reasons forthe adoption of regional planningthroughout New Zealand, and it wasunfortunate that at the committee con-ference a resolution was, passed askingthat regional.planning be delayed fortwelve months. Ho knew after visit-ing Canada, the United States, andEurope what these other countries weredoing, and he felt that unless NewZealand made a move in this directionit would be left behind. The definitepreconceived plan of the Governmentwas essential to any action. It wasimperative that in a country depend-ing on the price of its exports landshould >be put to the best• purpose. Hehad been in touch with the questionfor the last few months, and he wassure that the Government held nearlyall 'the information necessary in itshands. For the preliminary surveynecessaryto place all the facts beforea committee, the sum of ;£■sooo wouldsuffice.. The information secured wouldbe'most valuable to local bodies such,as electric power boards, etc.,' whichhad schemes depending on the develop-ments' of population, and would beparticularly; valuable to the TransportBoard. 'The chairman (Mr, D, B. Hoggard)thought that the setting up of a re-gional' planning committee would be adesirable thing, but he had looked atthe Town Planning. Amendment Act,and they should consider things verycarefully before going any further. Ap-parently they could not incui any veryserious financial responsibility by pass-ing the suggested resolution. If theresolution were passed by all the localbodies the regional planning commit-tee would be set up, and it would havka certain power of expenditure for thepurposes of preparing a regional plan.

BASIS OF REPRESENTATION.What concerned him was thebasis of

representation. Under the terms of theAct, if a committee were set upj everyborough having a population of notless than 10,000would have two repre-sentatives. Eastbourne and Upper Huttwonld have' one each. Even the John-sonville town - district would have re-presentation, but the Hutt County,whose interests were much greater froma planning point of view, and muchmore involved than any of these bor-oughs, *ould havd only one represen-tative. Begionar-planning was goingto very ■vitally affect the county, andit should have a greater representationthan these boroughs.

Councillor Blackley admitted thatthis was one of the" arguments usedagainst regional planning, but if theyasked for further representation, theymust be prepared to undertake furtherresponsibility.

Mr. Hoggard: "Yes, Taut we will havea bigger, responsibility, than some ofthese boroughs."

Mr. Blackley: "Wellington city hasa bigger."

Mr. Hoggard: "Wellington city hasrefused to join in."

TOO MUCH WELLINGTON.Mr. Blackley said that there was a

feeling throughout the country thatthere was too much centralisation inWellington and too much Governmentcontrol. If that were so, the proposedcommittee was the only way to getout of it. Everyone knew that theCivil Service was alwayß growing, andquestions arose of parochialism whichrequired . Government interference.Political interference crept in, andnational wastage occurred. The nationalplanning scheme was one which wouldcommend itself to all local bodies ifthey were looking to the national in-terest, and not to. the parochial.

Mr. Hoggard:"The draftsmanof thescheme seems to think that the countiesshould-be placed.on the same level asthe smallest borough." :

Mr. B. L. Button:,"Does that meanthat the whole of .the county wouldhave the same representation as East-bourne?" ' ■ , .

The chairman: "Yes."Mr. W. Dyer: "The outcome of their

deliberations makes it seem as thoughthey were working in the'interests ofthe boroughs."

Mr. Blackley: "The committee willhave power to co-opt business men andmen with financial experience who maybe willingto act on it."

Mr.' Button: "How does the Actaffect PaTaparaumu?"

SCHEME'S MAIN PURPOSE."The main purpose of the regional

planning scheme," said the chairman,"is to retard sporadic development oruneconomic development." It mightbe that the representatives of some ofthe smaller boroughs might have veryqueer ideas of what was economic de-velopment, and' might do more harmthan good.

Owing to the action of some of thesmall local bodies, there were in NewZealand to-day, said . Mr. Blackley,enough streets 'and footpaths for apopulation of 3,000,000people. If thework had been done under an auxiliarytown plan of a regional planning com-mittee, the wovk would neverhave beenpermitted. The excess, of streets wasdue to the "ribbon"method of extend-

ing main streets, instead,of endeavour-ing to make the towns into a compactsquare.

The chairman was inclined to go onwith the scheme, in spite of .the veryunfair representation, but he thoughtthat the question- should be held overfor a little longer. He had no objectionto a small expenditure to secure aregional plan, but a bad plan might beworse than none at all. . ; ,(

AMALG-AMATHmS?Mr. Blackley thought, it very likely

that one-"of the recommendations ofthe special Parliamentary Committeemightbe the amalgamation of counties,and the absorption of some of the townboards into the counties again.

"This is in an offer ofmarriage, which we can accept later ifwe-like," said the-chairman.1'

"It is no time to go into any schemethat would entail extra expenditure,"remarked Councillor Dyei-.

Tho Act, said Councillor Blackley,was put through for economyreasons,with the object bf saving money forthe nation. The United States hadgone in for it. very extensively, and, ifthey would take the example, so. hadRussia.

Mr. Button: "Never mind Russia.""It is a country which is giving a

great deal for thought just now,'.' saidCouncillor Blackley. "If Bussia hadnot a plan we would not be thinkingso much about her."

Councillor.A. I, M'Kay asked if thenew committee would have power tooverride local bodies. In that case hewould vote against it, but he wouldsupportit if it were amatter of adjust-ing the boundaries of local bodies onan equitable basis.

SUBDIVISIONS."I think we had better leave it in

the meantime," said the chairman. "Itmightaffect us in this way.' Supposingthat the Minister of Lands refers asubdivision.to us for approval, that itwas approved, and the Minister notifiedaccordingly. The regional planningcommittee, on which there would beonly one representative of the.council,and many from the boroughs, mightadvise the Minister to refuse the sub-division. The Minister might' take theopinion of the national committeeagainst that of the council in a matterwhich mainly affected the interests o:the county."

The matter was left over till the next\meeting. . . .MAORI PATAKAS

MUSEUM TREASURES

AWAITING A NEW HOME

Among the several very fine Maoricarvings in the Dominion. Museumwtiich have been restored and repair-ed in order that they may take a placeof honour in the new museum (whenthat building is. available) are • two

•'patakas,'' or store-houses,oneerfwhichis illustrated on to-day's pageof photo-graphs. One of them, is called TeTakinga, and measures 15 feet wideacross the front and 21 feet deep. Itwas formerly in'the collection belong-ing to Sir Walter Buller. It has twicevisited the Old Country, and once Aus-tralia, to be displayed, at exhibitions.Its timbers suffered somewhat as theresult of these journeys, for the Maoridid not build their' , patakas forjourneys round the world. However,Mr. Hebberley, ■ the Maori carverattached to the, Museum, has remediedall defects in the structure. The origin-al supporting legs of this patakahad disappeared, rotted probably, be-fore it came into'the possession of SirWalter Buller. New legs are beingprovided for it. This pataka hasan interesting history, for it is reput-ed to be made from the timbers of thecanoeswhich therenowned Maori chief-tain, Hongi, had dragged from thecoast overland to Lake Eotorua whenhe took the island of Mokoia in themiddle of that lake in 1822.

The other pataka is probablymuch older, being well over 100 yearsold. It came from Maketu, and ex-hibits East Coast Maori carving to per-fection. Its original threshold boardhas unfortunatelydisappeared,-but thishas been replaced by the indefatigableMr. Hebberley.

It is a pity that these fine specimensof the. Maori ■ patakas should, fromlimits of space, be stored away wherethe. general public cannot see them.There is no room for them in the pre-sent Dominion Museum proper, andthey must remain in the tin shedadjoining until an adequate museumis built. These" patakas, •or store-houses,were 'built to face the sun in|order to have a ;Trarm aspect. Theelaborate carving' on them indicatedthat they were to be used for veryspecial purposes, for the storing ofprized weapons, greenstone, ornaments,mats, baskets, and the like. Theordinary pataka was not carved, atany rate not so elaborately, and wasused for the storage of foodj kumcras,ox-taros.

In the shed; keeping the patakascompany,are many other fine pieces ofMaori carving. Great war canoes arethere,' and in the" photograph re-produced is seen the' high sternpieceof the canoe "Teremoe," which was atWanganui before>coming to the Domin-ion Museum. There is also. visible inthe photograph the prow of a sea-goingcanoe, ''Te Heke Karigitira," a canoebuilt in the northern style, which dif-fers somewhat from those found in theearly days around Wellington. Thesecanoes are also being restored to theirformer elaborateness in theway of'carving. •

ARTESIAN WATERCITY PROSPECTING

HUTT VALLEY OBJECTIONS

CANDID CRITICISMMr. W. T. Strand, Mayor of Lower

Hutt, who was one of the foremost pro-moters of the City and SuburbanWater Board, was interviewed thismorning in relation to the articlewhich appeared in Thursday's "Post"regarding Wellington's difficulty in ob-taining additional water.

Mr. Strand said: "Without takingup time in discussing the legal aspectof the question I fail to see how eitherHutt or Petone can reasonably objectto "Wellington obtaining aitesianwater if it so desires from the Valley,particularly if it acquires its own free-hold land. For local bodies in theValley to raise any serious objectionwould, in. my opinion, be quite unrea-sonable and unwarranted, taking allthe facts into consideration. A fewyears ago Lower Hutt and PetoneBoroughs, were co-partners with Wel-lingtoniv owning the water catchmentarea surrounding this Valley. In myopinion without sufficient thought andcareful consideration being given tothe matter, we withdrew from theboard, and by this action gave up allrights in connection with the waterconservation area which is so vital tothe Valley as a whole. The view takenat the time was purely from the aspectof a water supply for the present only.I do not wish to be unfriendly in mycriticism, because I believe that thoseresponsible were in their opinion doingtheir best, but the view, taken was avery narrow one indeed,.,and omittedto take into consideration matters ofmost vital importance* Our actionin seceding and Wellington's action inaccepting the watershed area meanthat to-day and for the future expendi-ture necessary for such conservationrests entirely upon thecity. The city,even to-day, is endeavouring to con-serve and protect the very waters thatwe are objectingto them, having a shareof should they require it; This, Ithink, ig most illogical. The water isgathered and protected on City Councilproperty and surely thw is a. point thatmust be taken into consideration ifwe wish to be fair.

"EXAMPLE OFECONOMICWASTE." ,

"The attitude that local bodies hadtaken with water supply generally inand around Wellington, is a splendidillustration of the economic wastethat is going on in so many directionsfor the want of thought and reasonableconsideration. and the co-ordination ofone district with another. For manymonths of the year, in all probabilitytor nine to ten, sufficient water is run-ning to waste from the WellingtonCity Council supply in the Wainui-o-mata and Orongorongo to supplyLowerHutt, Petone, Eastbourne, and a por-tion of the Hutt County.. There isalso sufficient carrying capacity in thepipes at present laid to enable anample supply to be given to those dis-tricts. At the same time we in theValley are incurring the cost of pump-ing the whole of our water during thisperiod.- During the two or three[months of the balance of the yearwhen through the failure of the Oron-gorongo.supply Wellington is withoutsufficient water it could by arrange-ment with the Valley be provided with| its extra wants at very little addi-ttional cost. At the present time there'Is

* 4U^?ient water undergroundand Wellington has the necessary elec-trical energy to enable water to bepumped for both the valley boroughsand Wellington when required insteadof, as at present, our spending^ large: sums of money monthly for waterWhich is rnnning to waste at our verydoors. *• "**!,«xamined carefully, everythingis m favour of a board to supply therequirements'of the district and elimi-nate waste. It is frequently said thatitwould never do for local bodies out-side Wellington to join with the citym matters of this kind, as thecity would be able to do as itliked, to the detriment of smallerbodies. This, may be so in theory,but the experience of the pastdoes not confirmr this. Take theHutt Eoad extension, the heavy trafficfees,etc.; the whole of those concernedhave received direct benefit by pullingtogether—evenWellington. Ihave beenconnected with these bodies for severalyears,,and have yet to learn of aninstance where Wellington acted detri-mentally to our interests to her ownadvantage.

THE DANGEE OF FLOODS."There.is,; however, another aspectwhich was evidently lost sight of by

the residents of the Hutt Valley whenthey,withdrew from the board. Wehave recently seen-what havoc can bemade by flood waters.from the denudedhills round our district. When thescheme was inaugurated provision wasmade for the reafforestation, of thesebare acres. This would have givengreat immunity from, floodsas well asa profitable investment for the Nvholedistrict.. So serious has the positionbecome that we in the valley, for ourown safety and protection, should bemost active in having this very neces-sary work. done. This applies to thewhole valleyand not'to any particularportion. The lower, portion/ includingPetone, must suffer should we have arepetition of the recent flood, whichis quite possible at any time. Oneresult of the .withdrawal from theboard, which could,not at the time beforeseen, is the losb of any planting inthis area during the present time whenevery endeavour is being made to openup channels of useful employment.Had one of the most useful works pos-Isible in this district been put in handduring the past winter thousands of

| acres could have been planted, andI this would have given greater securityto the residents of the district and aheritage for our children such as fewdistricts in New Zealand couldpossess."

LONELY ISLAND

PACIFIC CABLE BASEA HEALTHY LIFE

(From "The Post's" Representative.)SYDNEY, 10th September.

•The sailing of the Union Company'sfreighter Waihemo for Fanning Islandon Tuesday last recalls some interestingfacts regarding that tiny but importantcable base in the mid-Pacific^ For yearsUnion boats have made periodical callsunder contract with the Pacific CableBoard, but with the sailing of the Wai-hemo the contract ceased and will notbe renewed. Interest in Australia andNew Zealand will not cease, however,as the staff at the cable station is com-posed entirely of Australians and NewZealanders. The inhabitants of theisland useAustralian currency. FanningIsland is, in fact, the one place out-side the Commonwealth at the presenttime where Australian moneyis accept-ed at its face value.

Fanning Island was. annexed byGreat Britain when it was found thatit lay in the line of the Pacific cable.When the cable had been made a re-peating station, was constructed on- theisland, some distance to the north-westof the original settlement, which hadbeen built on the entrance to thelagoona. With the exception of a smallarea given, over to the cable- station,the whole of the island is taken up bya coeoanut plantation, British owned.In. formation the island is a typicalatoll, comprisinga roughlycircular reefof coral, about thirty miles in circum-ference, and half a mile across at itswidest point- As in the case of allatolls, sand has collected above thecoral,and tropical vegetation has takenroot in the sand. At no point is theground more thaa nine feet above sealevel. The lagoon formed by the reefis a mass of coral shoals, but tradingschooners are able to find anchorage init near the channel which connects itwith the open sea.

The cable station staff comprisestwelve engineers and operators. Sevenhave wives resident on the island, andthere are a number of children. Fouror five Europeans, on the ■ plantationcomplete the white population. Inaddition there are about 150 nativesemployed as servants or on the planta-tion. By means of up-to-date wirelessinstallations the inhabitants are keptin touch with the outside world. Modernbungalowsare electrically lighted andequippedwith electric refrigerators. Aclubhouse contains billiard tables' anda well-stocked library, and there is atennis court The settlement also boastsa post officeand a savings bank.

Life on the island is very healthy.The temperature varies only slightlythroughout the year; there is onlyabout seven minutes variation, in thelength of daylight, and the bracingsouth-east trade winds blow across theisland all the year round. Large 'fisharefound, and provide the anglerwithexcellent sport. The presence of sharksdoes not deter' swimmers, as themonsters, well supplied with fish, haveneverbeen known to attack man. Withthe assistance of soil brought as ballastby copra schooners the station staff haseven induced tropical fruits to flourishIand provide them with tasty desserts.Each man is required to spend two'years at the island, but the conditionsare such that no onp is really anxiousto leave.

A "CONVICT" CHASE

A theatre manager's scheme to ad-vertise a convict film led to a chaseby police and a large crowd throughthe streets of Palmer's Green,London,recently. The scheme,according to themanager,Mr. Frederick E. Monk, wasfor a man dressed as a convict to bechased by another in the guise of awarder (says-the "Observer-). "Ap-parently the make-up of the two menwas abit too realistic," Mr. Monk said."No sooner had the couple started torun. than a. point-duty policeman sawthe escaping 'convict' and promptlyjoinedin the chase. The 'warder * andthe 'convict' became scared, and ranfaster. Passers-by joined in, and tomake matters worse two more police-men, blowing their whistles, took, upthe chase. Then a fourth constablestopped a motorist, and set off in thecar after the escaping 'convict.' Afterabout half a mile, my men, very tcared,■were captured.'*

INTEREST GUTSTRYING TO EVEN UP

BANKS, BONDS,MORTGAGES

THE PER CENT. COMPLEX'The interest-reduction phase of Aus-

tralian legislation gave rise to mostinteresting debates in the VictorianParliament. The Hognn (Labour)Government's Bill was based on thePlaii which the Premiers' Conferenceadopted as a basis of legislation to bopassed by all the snven Australian Par-liaments. After about ten days' debate,.the-Bill had reached the stage ou 9thSeptember of acceptance by the Assem-."bly of some (and rejection of others) ofthe.Legislative Council's amendments.The Labour Party in the Assembly<;f iti&ised the amendments as being anti-Plan and pro-property, but had toaccept:some of them.

■ÔLUNTEER OR CONSCRIPT??' V.The"first dispute touched the question*jf compulsion of banks and bond-KQld£rs;•-.. Just; as compulsory interestsreduction-has -been- objected to inLondon,:'even ' when proposed to beapplied onlyto the" comparatively smallasumbor' of- Australian bondholders whohave-objected"to' converting into lowerinterest stock, so also there is a preju-dice against any. legislative big stickbeing prepared against banks or simi-lar institutions that are willing to re-duce interest voluntarily. In view ofthebanks' expressed willingness to.joinin reducing interest, the LegislativeCouncil amended the Bill in its bankprovisions. The original Bill providedthat the Bill shall not be applied tothe,banks except by proclamation ap-prdved- by the Executive Council. Thisthe. Legislative Council amended bysubstituting for "Executive Council"both;.Houses of Parliament.

AtJTOMATIC OUT RETAINED.■'.''Nexfi, came.• a .vital principle :o:

which the .Government secured. a wiagainst the Legislative Council. Th*■!Age '* sums up against the'Council"The central feature, of this part othe^jntaasureVwa^"thatmortgage interesl-ates should fall aut-omatically, in coiformity with the all-round decreaseand_reductions .in the interest-earnincapacity of Government securities. TlkCouncil ;recluced tho whole section tcfutility by.. making the reduction noian' automatic operation, but a conces"sion/only to be gained by individual applications to Courts by ' mortgagors,Then it proposed that .the mortgagor,having won his case—if he ever suc-ceeded- in reaching the Court-—shouldreceive relief to the extent of 15 percent., instead of 22* per cent., which"was. agreed upon as the standard rateof reduction.'' '■'■'."

"When this amendment came up inths Assembly, the Opposition did notgiê it much Teal support. Oppositionspeakers went off on an important side-

.issue:~ whethev ■reduced-interest mort-:gageesshoulcl receive the same income-."taSilconcessions as iutcrest-reducedholders of Governmentbonds. This in-*rao' tax issue is under the jurisdic-tion of the Federal Parliament. Mr.Hylarid (Country Party) said it wasmost'unfair that a mortgagee-who suf-fered-an interest reduction of 22$per•cent, should-be subject to the Federalsup>ir-taxvof 10 per cent, on interest,while the :bondholders who convertedwere free from that tax. ''"The Premier^ Mr. Hogan, said tho

:'question of taxation was one for theFederal Government to remedy. Heagreed -that it' wouldbe unjust and in-equitable to levy theFederal supertax■o'n;iftpitgagees-wlib had reduced interestby 22j per cent. It was discrimina-. tion, and destroyed the principle ofequality of sacrifice. The Governmentcould not accept the Legislative Coun-cil 's 'proposal to Teduce mortgago in-terest by only 15 per cent. Tho bor-rower should not be made to accept asacrifice of 10 per cent, to remedy the ,anomaly. The Federal Governmentshould do that. (Hear, hoar.). At

the Premiers' Conference he had im-pressed ou the Federal Government thejusticeof extending to mortgagees thesame freedom from super tax .is grant-ed to bondholders. If by any chancothe Federal Government did not re-niody the situation, he considered thattho State certainly should do some-thing to amend an injustice.

DIFFERINO INTEREST-LEVELS.Tho Premier added that there' was

also tho position, on tho other hand,that mortgage interest, ranging from 7per cent, to 12 per cent., had beenmuch higher than interest on. bonds.In the meantimo it was essential thatborrowers should be relieved of highinterest charges, and the wheels of in-dustry sot turning once more.

The Legislative Council's aimend-ment, and its further amendment re-ducing the private mortgagee's interest-cut from 22$per cent, to 15 per cent,were rejected on the voices.

The Legislative Council succeededwith an amendment which exempts"any hire purchase agreement relat-ing 'to a chattel" from the operationof certain restrictions on mortgagees'remedies. The Assembly decided toaccept the amendment where the assetsare of''a'wasting character.

■An attempt by the Legislative Coun-cil to put pastoral-companies in muchthe same protected position as banks(not. to be •-proclaimed save by theaction of both Houses), was defeated onthe voices. The-Premier said that thewool-selling companies had riot askedhim for special consideration. _ SirStanley Argyle'said pastoral companieswere making money available" to bor-rowers at the same "rate at which theyborrowed it from the,bank. .

It was - resolved' that the Bill asamended be returned to the LegislativeCouncil. ' ' !

SELECTORS SATISFIED

(By "Not put.")Now that the 1931 Now Zoaland

cricket team has fulfilled its matchengagements, the question arises as towhether opinion of the standard of NewZealand cricket- have been improved atcricket headquarters. During: the earlypart of the tour, up to and includingthe first Test, it -was evident that theteam was making a great impression,and the great compliment was^paid ofamending the itinerary to provide fortwo more Tests. Taking the tour rightthrough,however,it is doubtful whetherNew Zealand's claim "to a higher statusin the game has been advanced' anymore than ifwas by-the performanceso;: the 1927 team, which, as has been'previously pointed out ■by the writer,were good enough to entitle tins' Do-minion to ■ higher ranking - than •'•"theWest Indies. ■ The results of tho-!193lNew Zealand ■ team's! four have'^sup-ported that view, •although it cannotbo said :thab they have been very jjlow-*in-g, :: •-..

that it has performed over the wholotour, in- line with expectations. Manydrawn games wore expected,, and notmany wins were anticipated. It is nota case of being:wise after the event.When the team was chosen for the tourits weaknesses were pointed out in thewriter's criticisms of the selection.

ENGLISH OPINIONS.Some very generous tributes have

been1paid by English critics, and thereis no reason to.'suppose that when' thenext tour takes place New Zealandwill not be given at least three Tests'as on this year's, tour, but.the fact re-mains that, whiLe. playing to the best;:of its ability, the 1931.team has. beengood in parts only. It isunfortunate,but nevertheless true, that some soundjudges of the,game,in England do nothold',a very'high opinion of New Zea-land cricket as reflected in . the per-formances of the team on tour, althoughfinepraise'is.given!, to the team's- sports-1ijfanship. , ,Having.^vatehed the pro-,jress of the .team up to and including!the second ..Test,-, Neville Cardus(''Cricketer ',?■ of the "ManchesterGuardian) concluded a commentary asfollows:— "■.-.. ■■'■, •'- :'>'■■■ ■■' " |: ."It .wa£ all very much a chroniclejDf.srnair.bcer. •'■" Froni,beginningto end |Lhe match (second 'Test) has lackedmtagonism aiid atmosphere.

Among other, opinions of the NewZealand team isHhc following1 by LeoMunro in the' "Daily Express": "SoNew Zealand can take much credit forthe -cricket.'of' theiryoungsters,.but theside in^generaV, thovigliv; stout-heartedRghters, were clearly,outplayed,and, ontheiform at the-Oyal; as- of nomore'than good" county-form;^'. - ''eommerits such: as these are the morelisappointing ■■when.*.-it isviealised 'that!the side could have been j. much bettermateh-wirining' 'prdposition.'

Although- some of the players have-not come up to .expectations,-.Mr. W.

"Ofcourse, we*knew -before the team sail-ed that thq bowling was weak, but itwas the best available.: "With thathandicap the; team did splendidly. Aswith all teams, there have been fail-ures. By that I mean that several';members of the team have,not done aswell as we expected. Dempster, Blunt.Vivian, and James have, of course,been the successes. Page batted wellon, occasions only.

was one of "the selectors-of.the team,stated that'the team had-done extreme-ly well, considering the fact that -thegreat majority of its matches' were withfirst-class counties.

LIGHTENING THE BURDEN

Financial assistance by. way of newloans or additional advances under theDischarged Soldiers' Scttloment Actwas granted dn-:' 790 cases during theyear ended:31st March, 1931, the totalamouiit authorised being £202,767.These included 93 new loans,amountingto £47,365, and 697 additional loans,totalling £155,402.

"The amount of loan capital nowstands at £15,523,645 16s Bd, theamount outstanding against debentureshaving been reduced by £.157,350,"states the annual report of the Hoadsand Survey Department on DischargedSoldiers' Settlement. It will be seenfrom the balance-sheet published at theend of the report that, while, the in-terest rate to the State on the groaterpart of the debenture capital is 51 percent., the rate varies from. 2 9-16 percent, to 6 per cent. The ConsolidatedFund .capital, of £10,850,000bears in-terest; .at. the.rate of 4;per cent. -Asmightbe expected, owingto.the fall inmarket prices and- unemployment, thereceipts for theyear have fallen con-siderably, snowing a reduction of£421,316 on the figures for the previ-ous.se.ason. .While the-drop is to someextent accounted for .by the fair in re-ceipts for payments due, the greaterpart is, represented by the lack ofmovement in the property, marketgenerally, so that the amount receivedby way of repayments of advanceswhich usuallyoccur in- connection withthe transfer of properties has been bc-

\ low the average."Coincident With' the. fall in caßhI" receipts the outstandings on debtors'

accounts for current payments andpostpdnements have increased from£355,547 to £447,271,a net increase

.of £91,724 for the year. The Depart-. ment has endeavoured to meet the cir-cumstances of individual mortgagors. who have found themselves unable to

> meet theii1 engagements in full on1 account of decreased revenue, andi farmers arc not being displaced at the'■ present time merely because of inabil-ity to pay rent, instalments, or mi-i ierest. It is expected, however, that

while many people may not be in theposition to ' meet their payments;infull, they should do-so'to the best oftheir- ability, recognising that whoreone falls short an increased burden isthrown upon the general taxpayer.

WHAT SHAW SAW

WORKING OUT OF PLAN

A RELIGIOUS PEOPLE

(From "The Post's" Representative.)LONDON", 7th August.

Mr. G. Bernard Shaw, lately backfrom Bussia, described some of thesurprises of the visit in an address to

students at the SummerSchool of the |Independent Labour Party. LordLothian and Lady Astor were also inEussia.

"When I give you a rough descrip-tion of Eussia," Mr. Shaw said, "I doso -with the consciousness that if theSoviet leaders were present here theywould regard me as one of the mostmonstrous paradoxes, if not liars, thatexists on the face of the earth.

"The. Socialism!.'which has estab-lished itself and is being worked outin Eussia is a Fabian ■ Socialism.; Theother thing which we did sec- quiteseriously was that it is an intenselyreligious system. • ■.■''- '."'.'" .

"Bussia is a distinctly• religiouscountry. When we said thatthe ThirdInternational was. a Church,- theygasped; but it is perfectly true.

"The fact that they.aremaking sucha success to-day is not so enormouslycreditable. You must remember thejrare working iv conditions which, to us,would be almost ideal. They are work-ing their machine with oil iv its bear-ings. •We are working our machinewith sand iv its bearings."

A FACTORY WORKER.Mr. Shaw, describing his visit to a

Bussian factory, said that a youth,wearing a Lenin Order, was presentedto him as having set the biggest pacein carrying out the Five-Year Plan."I said to him;" said Mr. Shaw,

"'lf in England you'set double thepace of your fellow-workmen, you-would not be a popular character. ." 'You would be called a slbgger,

and would run a certain chance 'ofhaving a brick' dropped on your-headin a quiet lane. .",'.' . . ...'.'.''■" 'If you are going on. at that' rate,

you stay .in Eussia.' ■(Laugliter.) '"They are ail working for efficiency.In this country,that youth would haveIjecn spoiling tup chances of his. fellow-workers. That friction does.not existin Eussin.' -■ .".:.. ... '•■'. .• .... ..

THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN.''We want , a Five-Year Plan here

very badly. They want a Five-YearPlan in America'1 very badly.Why don'tthey have it? : What -would Britishworkmen;«ay to the iPlan? ..

"In Bussia!,, it is! perfectly smooth.The workers put their,backs into thePlan because theyknow.that what.theyput into it. they"/will, get fOut,! '■ V.

'' The Russians' are not' people !whoare strict as far as'^ptiva'cy is concern-ed, (if you Were in the British Na"vyyou would understand my idea ofprivacy.) ...'... !. . ... .v.

"The Russians never;seemed to meto sleep less'than five in a room, andhave no particular, objection to sleepring ten in a room . if. necessary. Icannot sleep- if there is- anyone'jelse. inthe room. They cannot sleep alone.forfear of robbers and ghosts.": Ho mot■■■several;author's''in Russia)and they all looked very; .prosperous."Much better than' they do in thiscountry," he added, amid laughter."None of them, attempt to borrowmoney." . ' : ■

INTELLIGENT STATESMEN.A great many of the things we did

seemed very stupid- to Russians, saidMr. Shaw,'and Stalin puce said to him,"Surely no intelligent person can sayor do so-and-so?" ■"I said," Mr. Shaw added, "pur

people'■are intelligent.! "British statesmen believel them-

selves far superior to Russian, statesmen.The men who are at the head of •affairsin Russia are- intellectually: superior.They have to. begin by reading Marx.They look upon US'as'imbeciles,and wecannot realise \yo are imbeciles. Thesuccess of their Five-Year-Plan is thehope of the world/ With our plan, weare running to theedge of the abyss. \

"Capital,punishment is (abolished inRussia," Mr. Shaw said, "and yoncould commit a. .murder on; very favour-able terms—an average of four years.For a bad one you might get five years,and for a yery bad one you;mighthavea fatal accident somewhere or. another.There is, of course,',shooting for'politi-cal offences. If a'Russian' tfjes tptakeadvantage of the sys.tem and ■tries .tpenrich himself, .he .disappears../ . ' .

NO NEED FOB POOD."After a few days, his relatives aTe

informed that they mayperhaps like tosend him some food, and after, a fewmore days he either conies back or hisrelatives aid informed that' hd "will riotrequire any more food.", \ . "'•■.■■

Mr. Shaw said that Lady Astor, whowas a member of the party, expressedthe opinion that Bussia could not geton without God, and, that they wouldhave to come back to. religion/ ■■■

"There is no need for "'■ that,"Mr.Shaw;said, "because they arevfull ofreligion. People over: here are horri-fied when they hear, thaf a great cathe-dral in Leningrad has been turned intoan anti-theological museum.. It is anattack upon the priests who werei al-ways taking money from you.and pre-tending to forgive your sins. In"thismuseum, you will see a) very "historicalmuseum which'very properly teachespeople about the old priestcraft." •RUSSIA ON WAR RATIONS.

The Marquis of Lothian told, .mem-bers of the Liberal Summer School,,atCambridge, that .the; most .tremendousand. almost inconceivable' : fact abontRussia was the complete disappearanceof private property of every kind ex-cept for a few personal effects, such asclothes arid boots. Almost, the onlyluxury'obtainable in RussiavWas- lip-stick. Silk stockings were regardedwith envious eyesbythe peasant youngwomen.

Another : central fact of Communistregime was State planning. The Com-munists were absolutelyconvinced thattheir scheme was going to prevail, andthat the rest of the world lived inutter darkness. The Communist re-ligion, convinced that it could create aheaven for humanityin this world, hadno mercy for its opponents. The Ogpuwas an uncontrolled body which hadno Courts. People were tapped on theshoulder and disappeared. They mightcome back or they mightnot.

There was no such thing as freedomof the Press in Bussia, nor were thereany of the things which wo called free-dom at all.

The whole of Eussia to-day was oriwar rations, as Britain was in 1917,andthe staple diet of the towns was blackbread and cabbage soup. , • •.

GIGANTIC HEROIC EXPERIMENT.Would the FiveYears' Plan succeed?

Lord Lothian asked;. His impressionwas that, quantitively, it wouldbo accomplished more or .less up :;totime, but qualitywas a different ques-tion. Bussia could not go back on itsexperiment. . It would evolve forward,but where it would get to nobodyknew. .... ...... ..

Nobody, could go to Russia and failto be convinced that it was the mostgigantic and heroic experiment overtried in history. His own feeling wasthat some of its underlying ideas wouldtransform the world.

The supreme task was to considerhow the good which had emerged ■ inRussia could be reconciled with liberty.

eral, order that no speeehmaking andno demonstrations are to beallowed inthe Parliament Grounds,"/'said- -Mr.Page. "When' Sandford got up:'tospeak Inspector Lander,' in pursuanceof his duty, called, to him to desist,and,when Sandford did not do so theInspector went towards him to tell him

[that he must desist. ■■ Some of^.thejspeaker's.supporters closed around himI with a view, apparently, of preventing

the Inspector approaching him. The1 defendantBussell, who is atall, power-

melee occurred^. . Upon a careful/consideration of the evidence,'I enter-I'tain no"doubt that the facts .which led;to the charges being laid against thesemen have been established."

I Mr. W. B. Brown, who appeared forall the defendants, Said' that he wassatisfied from his inquiries that noneof the' defendants was connected -withany conceited movement to protect thespeaker. " Apparently the Magistratetook the view that Bussell started themelee and the otliers got mixed up init in an incidental way..

accused,''he committed,;a; wanton andunprovoked assault: on Inspector Landerand ConstableWilliams." • .-; A charge against Eussell of obstruct-ing Inspector Lander in/the executionof his duty was, at the suggestion

PRODUCE& MARKET REPORTS PROM DAY TO DAY

DAH*Y SEASON

PRODUCTION AND PRICE

WHAT THE MARKET LACKS

"EveningPost," 19th September."-St new dairy export season has begun,md exports of 5800 tons of produce areoetheir wayto or arrivingat overseas destina-tions. Between now and Novembei19,670tons butter and 11,144tons cheesewe the Quantities. The British marketalmost the sole market, is not at themoment propitious, for it lacks confidence,Political, economic,financial, and socialproblems are so complex and 60 inter-twined that buyers of practically everycommodity dread to make commitments.Forward business in dairy produce isalmost non-existent; the much abusedspeculator seems to have disappeared,and perhaps some engaged on the produc-ing side of the industry would like to seehim. again, if only to infusea little moreinterest in the market.

The Dairy Board reports exports for thefirst month of the new season compared•with that of 1930 as follows:—

Aug.. 1931. Aug., 1930.Tons. Tons.'

< Butter 3304 3465Cheese ../.......... 2513, . 3180

'■■ For August this year 3249 tons of but-ter and 2509 tons of cheese of the abovequantities were for the United Kingdom.Of this produce 07 per cent, of the but-ter and 58 per cent, of the cheese wereconsigned, the balances of the disposalsbeing sold f.o.b. It will be noted thatjei tons less butter and G67tons lesscheese were sent away last month whencompared with exports in August, 1930,but production iii terms of butter-fat isheavier by nearly 13 per cent, than forthe month of August, 1030;and stocks ofbutter in grading stores in New Zealandwere heavier at 31st August last by. 1845. tons butter and nearly 1000 tons of cheese.•The Dairy Board's advices were to theeHect that estimated stocks of all buttersjn store in London and the provinces asat Ist September last were 22,900- tons,Compared with 24,700tons as at Ist Sep-tember last year, and of cheese (NewZealand,Canadian,and Australian) 15,352tons, compared with 14,967tons last year,

■with 6879 tons New Zealand in .stock,loaded,and afloatas against 8440 tons soaccounted for at ■ Ist September, 1930.To-day' the board is advised that stockspf New Zealand-butter in London are0865 tons compared with SB2Otons at thistime last year-; -and 74,955 crates of cheese,}p.s against 110,647 crates as at 19th Sep-tember, 1930;but Canadian cheese instock is 227,750boxes against 193,007bdxes this time last year.

On these,figures of New Zealand pro-

duction, exports, and stocks,bothmarketsshould improve, and would certainly im-prove if there were more confidenceinthe trade. •.~ Messrs., Joseph Nathan and Co.'s re-view, dated loth September, stated:—"Once again the markets have been af-Jected by events which have taken placeright outside its orbit. The old methodi>t forecasting markets by taking stocks,consumption, and price levels as guidesis quite out of date. A judgeof marketstorday must be a student of economics,finance.,and world politics, and then he■would have to be lucky."-The opinion of the trade as to theJiiture is to bo learned from the advances,■which still stand.at. 10d per pound onbutter and 5%d per pound on cheese.

' Butter is selling in Montreal at thesterling equivalent of 10 l-8d per pound,and in New York at Is 4%d. The UnitedStatesmarket, however,is protected bya duty of 14 cents, or 7d per pound, 60that it is for the Canadiansto say whetherthey .can relieve their local position by ex-ports.: ;across. the 'frontier.-■, British, consumption should be stimu-lated by present retail prices for NewZealand produce, which are: Butter, Is2d per po.und; cheese,8d per.pound. Theretail price of 'Danish butter was increasedtnia week to Is 4d!per pound.

STRENGTH OF BANKS

In reviewing the returns of the eleveitrading banks o£ Australia the Sydne;"Telegraph" refersto their strength wit]a ratio of liquid assets as at 30th Jimlast of 28.14. per cent., comparedwith 21.1per cent, as at the same date in 1930.

The following table shows the depositof each bank and total deposits at 30tlJune, 1930 and 1831:—

' Total ... £268,553,156 £201,423,31The table discloses that deposits hay

declined by. £7,129,846.,;.That declincomprises a lower movement of depositin six'banks, less a higher movement ithe remaining five. The deposits includboth fixed and current liabilities, but, fothe purpose of illustratingthe strength cthe institutions, it is not necessury to dilferentiatebetween each class of deposit.

The combination of reduction of d<posits and strengthening of the cash postion has been achieved by a reduction c£15,597,148in general advances,less aincrease of £2,650,444in advances to thvarious Governments. By the adoptioof this means the ratio of liquid assets tdeposits has been improved from 21.19 pccent, to 28.14 per-cent. ;.Of the eleven banks there is greatecash strength in nine,while there has beea decline in cash holdings in only two iistitutions, Bank of New Zealand anBank of Adelaide.

A still closer examination by th"Telegraph" reveals that the liquid postion of the Bank of New Zealand is suethat the preponderanceof liquids is due ta wider investment of- its New Zealanfunds to take in Commonwealthsecurties and riot a holding of £1 in cash tmeet £1, of local deposits.: Indeed,the Bank of New Zealand cahardlybe called an extensive operator ithe Commonwealthcompared with the r<maining institutions. Sofar as the Banof Adelaide is concerned,there is no d<nial of its strength.

The plain fact, which is based osworn figures, is that the cash positioni3218, per ceut. stronger than twelvmonths ago, while the improvement is "iper cent, general and the remaining 1per cent., as previously shown,did ncneed strengthening.

A recent cable from the Australianheadquarters of the H.M.V. Companystates that the brilliant solo pianistandaccompanist, Isidor Goodman, is nowto -mako a series of H.M.V. records;This move will no doubt be hailedwith delight by the large ■ umber ofmusic-lovers who enjoyed his masterlyperformances during his recent tour ofAustralia and New Zealand with JosephHislop. The decision, it is believed, isthe direct outcome of Goodman's suc-cess in the Dominoin. Born in CapeTown, South Africa, in May, 1909,Goodmanstarted his .musical career- atan early age, being awarded the bur-sary at the South African College ofMusic while only fivoyeaTs old. Twoyears later he performed the MozartConcerto in D Minor with the CapeTown Symphony Orchestra. - Furtherstudies at the Eoyal College of Musicin London gained for him the openscholarship for the British Isles whenonly 16 years of age,,as Well as theChappell and Challengoldmedals. Fromthis time on his success in his chosenfield, was assured,and his recent suc-cessful tour was the peak of a verybrilliant career. Goodman's first re-leases are expected to arrive in theDominion shortly, and a large demandfor the first recorded works of thisnew musical star is anticipated. ■-~ .The Apollo Singers. 'Under the conductorship of Mr HTemple White, the Apollo Singers willgive- their next concert on Saturday.3rd October, in the Town Hall ConcertChamber. A wonderful programme,hasbeen prepared by this efficient choirof well-balanced' voices,' includingGrieg's cantata, "The Ballad of OlavTrygvason," Elgar's "Eeveille"; achoral arrangement of Strauss's ever-popular "Blue Danube," and, a num-ber of new and novel part-songs. .', Mr,Ernest Jenner, as solo pianist and ac-companist, will, without the-many.otheiattractive- offerings, prove a- wonderful"draw" in himself. ' ' '"Madame Butterfly" Complete.. "'"Madame Butterfly" is the latestaddition to the series of. completeoperas issued by H.M.V., and it is safe,to: say that it easily .maintains thehigh standard of the. conipany's pre-vious operatic recordings. The perform-ance is by the singers, chorus, andorchestra of La Scala; Milan, under theconductorship of Carlo Saibajno. Therole of Butterfly is taken by MargaretSheridan, who has sung the part withwonderful success in England and onthe Continent; Suzuki is Ida Mannar-ini; Kate Pinkcrton, Elena Lonii Liotemont Pinkerton,- Lionello.' Cecil, ay,oung English tenor who has becomea great favourite at La Scala; Sharpless,_ Vittorio Weinberg; Goro, Nell(Palai; Tho Bonze, Guglielmo ■Masini:and Prineo Yamadori, Antonio Golli

The outstandingvirtue of the perform-ance is its spontaneity. It is essenti-ally sincere. Not for a momentidoes ithang fire, nor does one ever get theimpression that the records are justascries of show pieces specially done forthe individual disc. The whole thing

1flows along perfectly. As for the sing-\ ing, Sheridan is magnificent. Herlovely round notes are heard at their.

[ best in "ITu bel di vedremo," in7which• the drama of the music is movinglyex-■ pressed. There are wonderful moments. also in the pathetic finale to Act.ll., the•tvigil of Butterfly and- Suzuki, and very! effective is the humming chorus; TheL tragedy of the last scene is tragedy; without bathos. Cecil sustains the dif-I fieult role of Libutonantj Pinkerton withadcqutii.e realisation of all its possibili-ties. He is particularly fine"in theloveduet, "O quanti oeehi iisi," in •which he. shares the honours with the soprano, and brings out the belated remorse of

i the conscience-stricken. Pinkerton in. ",Non ye l'ayevo detto?" The orches-t tra plays cleanly throughout; the vio-• lius are together, and the tutti neveroverwhelming.. Suchthings as the drumtaps in the final scene—the little thatmeans so much;—are hot only properly

; done, but 'arc faithfully recorded. Infact, the entire album is a great suc4cess. (H.M.V. C1950-65. Album series,!No. 103.)

Suddenly, beautiful'music filled thefresh morning air. Spring had arrived.Each little fairy bowed to Spring, thendanced up to her, and led her to themushroom. •"I have arrived at last," she said.

Wends her way.Telling the lambs' To .frisk and play;Bidding the birds

Sweet tunes to stag.And asking the bluebells

Their bells to ring.The birds'did her bidding,: And so did the flowers;

The blossomed trees.Peach, plum, and pear.

"SPRING."(Original.)

When all the little singing birdsAre high up in the trees.

They sing their very sweetest songs.That carry in the breeze.

And trill with all the joyful newsWith which the world must ring,

Then hop and chirp and fly aboutTo herald in the Spring.

Daffodilsand foxgloves,Are swaying in the breeze;

There is thefrollicking of lambs.The humming of the bees.

The stately running of the brook.Which will,ever onward flow,

And all the tiny little flowers 'Are planted in a row."KOWHAI" (13).

THE EVENING POST, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1931.18

*a^»EB Fairy Queen was very sad,j_ very sad indeed. You see, that

terrible person, Old Man Gloom,had taken up his abode in Fairyland,and though the queen, Princess Spring,and in fact all the fairies put theirmagic together, they wore not able to. lbaniah him from their kingdom.

That was not the worst, either. ABreadful elf had accompanied him. ■ Hewas called Mr. Ten-per-cent-cut, buthe should really havo been named TheMost-wicked-imp-that-ever-lived. Hewas little and fat and ugly—in short,the kind of person children are apt to|have nightmares about. Perhaps theworst thing about him, however, wasthat fondnessof his for making peopleunhappy. He had gone amongst thehumans for a few short months, andIin that time had succeeded in makingeverybody as miserable as they couldbe. So Ten-per-cent-cut .decided, tocome to Fairyland, and I really don'tthink I need explain any further whythe queen was sad.

At last she grew desperate. "Wemust get rid of that fellow somehow,"she said to her sympathetic daughter,Princess Spring, "for if he Btays muchlonger we will all be as unhappy asthe humans." "Princess Spring sighed and wrinkledup her forehead, as she tried to thinkof a way to drive the elf from Fairy-land. Suddenly she gave an excitedexclamation: "Mother,, dear!" shecried, "I have a wonderful ideal"

The queen clapped he; hands andlaughed joyfully. "Tell me. Qnick!"she urged; so obediently the princessleant down and whispered something inher mother's ear, something that madethe queen become suddenly happy.

"How clever you are," she said,admiringly, to her daughter. "Come!Let us visit Old Man Gloom immedi-ately. The queen's carriage, drawnby four of her swiftest sunbeams,wasordered, and the two were soon skim- ]mingrapidly across the blue, blue sky.When they reached their enemy'sstronghold, they found Old Man Gloomsitting in state, with Ten-per-eent-cutbeside him.

••Well!" he roared, as he. caughtsight of the two beautiful fairies.'•What can I do foryouI"

••We have brought a proposition toyou," answered the queen: iv her sweet

voice. "As you know, my daughtercommences her reign amongst thehumans in two days' time. Now ifshe can, during her three months onthe earth, make six people really happy,will you and your friend leave ourbeautiful kingdom and return to theunderworld from whence you came?"

Old Man Gloomlaugheduproariously."So you JWant to be rid of me?" heasked.

"Yes," admitted the queen.Once again Old Man Gloom laughed.

"Well," he said at last, "I agree. Ifyour daughter can make six people!happy, I will leave Fairyland. Shewon't succeed, though," he added."Ten-per-cent-cut has done his worktoo well.'' Princess Spring only-smiled.Sheknew she would succeed.

First of all she visited Mrs. Poor-Woman,who lived in Penniless street.In the twinklingof an eye she changedthe few brown pennies in the widow'spurse into gleaming sovereigns, and|made the poor food .in the cupboardinto a wonderful feast. Lastly shesent a little joy. fairy into a sad heart,and then went on her way, leaving atleast one happy person.

She. went ..to the hospitals andcheered up the sick people there withthe wonderful perfume of fresh flowersthat always clung about her, and withthe songsof nesting birds. Sherubbedcool fingers on fevered brows, andsmoothed pain wrinkles, out of tinychildren's foreheads.,.Once .again littlejoy fairies found resting places . inseveral,hundred hearts, so there is noneed for me to tell you• whether sheleft those people happy or not.

All day long Princess Spring work-ed, visiting queues of poor out-of-works and cheering them with herbeauty, making her way into squalidstreets, there to brighten the lives ofpoor humans, and—ah! but if I told jyou all she didI would go on for ever. 1Suffice to say that when PrincessSpring returned to fairyland, Old ManGloom was so abashed to discover thatafter all love was stronger than hate,that he and Ten-per-cent-cut fled tothe:underworld, and they never, never,■returned to Fairyland.

"LAUGHING JACKASS" (15).Karori. .

PIPPET the Pixie was cooking hissupper, a lovely, toothsome supper,:when the door of his mushroom

house burst open and there stood Billothe Brownie."Hullo," said Billo, "have youfieard the news?""No," said Pippet. 'What is it?""The Fairy Queen is looking for

someone who is agood painter to paintthe palace," said Billo.•Well," said Pippet. "I think 111

fcry. I can paint as well as any other'pixie."He ate his supper hastily, and taking

his paint-pot and a brush, he set offfor the palace. He told the big pixie•who guarded the door that he wantedto see the Queen,and after waiting *awhile he was admitted to the roomwhere the Queen was sitting."So you would like to paint thepalace!" she asked, and Pippettremblingly said, "Yes.""Please show me how you paint,"said the -Queen, and when Pippet ner-vously showed her, she said:

"You do paint beautifully. I thinkI shall have you for my painter."

The next day Pippet arrived earlyat the palace and was shown a largeloom which he was to paint asoft blue.When he had finished the Queen,whocame to inspect it, said:

"Oh, how lovely! I must get youto paint every room." And she did I

Pippet was kept busy from morningtill night.

The Queen let him paint almosteverythingbecause he painted so beau-tifully,and the palace looked so brightand different. Now, Pippet was "amischievous little fellow, and after hehad been at the palace a while, hebegan to play tricks on people, and thefirst thing he did was to get up earlyone day.and paint the palace fowls alla pale pink! How angry the womanwho collected the egguwas when re-covering from her surprise at seeingpink hens to find blue eggs!

Of course he was punished, but that

did not prevent him from playing moretricks. Ohj no!

A few days later the Lord High-Chamberlain (who was a very vainman) happened to look in the mirrorafter waking from his daily nap andsaw (oh horrors!) that his face was•potted with brown spots.

He gave one scream and hoppedstraight into bed, saying: "Tell theQueen IhayEvery-body thoughthe had, too, till he washedhis face, and then he found it was onlypaint.

Of course it was one of Pippet'stricks, and he was soundly trounced bythe Lord High-Chamberlain,so soundlythat for a time he was quite good—but only for a, time. One day thePrince of Sleepyland came to visit theQueen. Hewas conducted to 'the roomwhere the Queen was-sitting on herthrone, ready to receive him. He wasgiven abrown, shiny-lookingchair nearthe Queen, and after talking for awhile they stood up to walk into theballroom. ' The prince was wearing alight yellow suit, and when he walkedaway.the page who was to carry histrain saw a.huge brown stain on hiscoat—the chair was covered.with wetpaint!

The Queen was very angry, andcalled Pippet to her.

"I'm afraid you can't stay here anylonger," she said. "You have beentoo naughty."

"Can't I do something?" saidPippet..■ "Tea," said the Queen. "You canpaint the sky for me at sunpet withyonr lovely colours."

And Pippet does,every night.* • *

"Saucy Sally" (16) .......... Wadestown.Betty Blow (14) Kelburn.

"Dutch Doll" (8) ................ Ngaio."P.E.N." (17) .................. Karori. .

And ever-so-good ones must be mentioned too: "Seahorse" (8);"Pollyanna" (17); "Don Pedro" (14); Reta Charlesworth (6);and "Star-of-the-Sea" (11). "P.E.N." should have been first, onlythat her painting was unmounted. 'This time there were twice as many pictures from elves over14 years than there were under. Was it rather difficult for smallfingers? /

Poor wee Spring Child! I'm afraid Old Man Winter gave her anasty;weekfor the beginning of her reign; But she arrived on alovely day.(we must be in league with the Weather Clerk!) andshe'll very soon send Winter flying for his life. •Heaps of. happiness to all my pixies, big and, little.

FAIRIEL.

Very soon they were, all -shouting:"Down with King Winter!" mnch toSprite o' Spring's delight. Secret mes-sageswere then sent out all over thekingdom, that in Mushroom Villagethere was a Sprite who was braveenough to try and overthrow the King.Civil war was then, declared near, andfar. Old Winter and his frosty fol-lowers and the depressed- Springlanderswere up in arms. The Sprite drilledthe latter's armies day and night. Biband Bub Breeze enlisted as spies, therabbits as guards, the birds as messen-gers, the elves, goblins, and pixies aisoldiers, and the fairies as nurses.

Sometimes one of Winter's armietwould meet a Springland army, and. fthard battle was fought. Old Win-ter's army nearly always lost, becausethe soldiers were stiff in their joints,or because they were father too lazy.The Sprite's followers fought under abright golden flag made of tiny prim-roses. It was a most wonderful revolu-tion! One day a special army 'fromDaffodil Dell arrived at' Mushroom- Vil-lage, and Princess Spring herself eamodriving, in a wild-rose carriage drawaby three silver, moths..;,Her eyes-wereblue, and her pretty' hair was fair andcurly. Shewore a..gowjj'"of wee wood-violets sewn togetherwith silver thread,her shoes were of woven, grass, andthey were bnttoned by sunset-mistpearls. Spring's crown was of goldensunbeams. She told . her green-dadcoachman to stop at Elfin' Inn, whil«the soldiers went on to King.Winter^palace, where they would besiege himand his court. After a long fight theyreturned to their Princess, and broughtwith them a very angry old King Win-ter—as captive!

"Ah, cruel Winter, why should yo»tax these brave folk and cause a re-volution? Let them come under mybanner; and allow me to becomesupreme ruler of Springland." Aftermuch ado, Winter consented to giv«up his crown if he could .come, backeach year and rule-for three months.

fJpHERE was great trouble inJ[_ Springland, for nearly everyonewas out of work. Their hardruler at that time was Kiug Winter,who had heaped upon the shopkeepersvery unjust taxes, and thus they hadto dismiss many of their assistants.So, of course, the Springlanders werefeeling very depressed, indeed. Manyof them murmured against King Win-ter, and some even wished to do awaywith him.

One day there came a-wandering intoMushroom Village a handsome Sprite.The Sprite was dressed in a brightgreen tunic trimmed with yellow daffo-dil petals, and his golden curls werecapped with a daffodil cap. His blueeyeswere smiling, and he sang a happysong. The pixies standing nearby hadnever seen him before. Quite a stranger.The Sprite went into Elfin Inn, andordered a cup of. dew-syrup; but PeterPixie, who served him; said gloomily:

Ah, we have none of that. 'Tis sodear to brew." He looked closely atthe Sprite and asked: "But who, pray,are you?" "I am Sprite o' Spring,and I have.travelled from the DaffodilDell, far, far away from King Win-ter's icy touch." ... .Lots of the'villagers had followedthe Sprite, and now Pixie Puck askedhim what Daffodil Dell was like. "Ah,"said the Sprite, "there it is all timessunny, with the scent of sweet flowersupon the clear air.. The birds sing joy-ful ballads in the ever-budding trees,while the silver moths play hide-and-seek among field jonquils. The streetsare.paved with soft green moss, andwild violets peep out shyly, only tobe danced away to a ball by some;merry elves. Yes, it is much differ-ent there." The Sprite stopped aminute, then continued:"We are ruledby a sweet gentle maiden, who is forever kind. Her name isPrincess Bpring,and she wishes to extend our smallkingdom right to the very edge ofSpringland."

Again he stopped, and then went on:"If my dear sister Spring ruled you,you should always be happy and con-tent. What say you all?" By thistime the whole villagehad crowded intothe Elfin Inn, and one fairy manbolderthan the rest cried out: "Down withKing Winter! Let us be rid of- therascall"

biggrSlhy wantedBUT dK%fHE: RIGHT KINdMIn serious Reading t\ie;booksellers re-

port a strong"demand^for biography,with a preference for' literary biogra-phy. Mr. G. S. 'Gordon, president ofMagdalen College," ■'Oxford, and Mr.Philip Guedalla,perhaps the most popu-lar living biographer, have recently ex-pressed their opinions>;upon the writ-ing of the lives of famous peojjjc. ■Mr. Gordon,speaking at the annualmeeting of the Oxford branch- of the■English Association,-paid that literarybiography in Shakespeare's time hadnot vet been asked for, and consequent-,ly had not been invented. Even a cen-tury later it-had occurred to"'no "one" towrite a biography of Diydoh.:~Tlns~hadnow been reversed, and so violentlythat, for one person who knew- thelives of the great statesmen or soldiersof the past century, there were nowfifty who knew something of the livesof the poets whom these great mendespised or patronised. '."In tliis. bio-graphical renaissance of.'.-our time,"said Mi1. Gordon, "true-cr.edit must begiven for the discovery that the child-hood and youth of an author "are. ofthe greatest importance.. In thisCperiodof his life ..the poet gathers the .capitalwhich he expends as a poet afterwards.We are entitled to gather all the. factsabout authors' lives, provided thatmake* proper use of them, and this useis in relating the lives of authors totheir works. In this direction almost

| anything can be described as material..We. judge far less to;day, and try a!little harder to4 understand. We'havea craving for ;the beginnings and theseeds of things. I believe that'biog-raphy, was never better understood thanit is to-day;, it involves a more rigor-ous research and a higher degree ofcandour than ever existed before."

Speaking at aLmeeting of the CharlesJamesFox Society, Mr. Philip Guedallasaid that 'English'biography had.suff-ered from beir^g" like the club- sand-wich,-toast-on top and'underneath,,withirrelevant matte* in: between. If Lard

"Written for readers of average intel-ligence, and noiii solely; for the-scien-tist, "TMs Reeling.World,'.'.by.Firth.Scott, is startling;and suggests.revisionof ideas usually accepted about ttie pastof this world of oiirs. The" "reeling"of theparth—thatis to sayj theperipdircal divergence, over thousands ofvyears.of its axis—is'a proved scientific fact,and; Mr. Mrth^Soott u«es it as a basisfrom which he draws some startling de-ductions.

RADICAL CHANGESOPPOSITION LIKELY

AMENDING THE RULES

The extent to which the rules havebeen overhauled by the Rugby authori-ties at Homo was probably never anti-cipated when the New Zealand RugbyUnion agreed to fall into lino with theHome countries in the matter of rulesarid rulings.: Radical changes havebeen made, and. if they come into ef-fect- into'New Zealand, as they arebound t6 unless there is special legis-lation .to'meet tho position in thiscountry, it will hot be all for the better-ment of the gamej.infact, there is thepossibility, of the game;being- thrownright out of gear. The new order,some details .of which have been pub-lished in "The Post," includes ascrummagerule which would be abso-lutely impossible in New Zealand un-less the "formation is changbd to pro-vide three men in the'front row. Thisarid other alterations will not be viewedwith favour, but it:is stated that NewZealand's position so far as the newscrummage-rule is concerned lias beenbrought to the notice of.the framers ofthe-rules in the hope that a variationwill be made to meet tho position inNew Zealand. -However, the EnglishUnion has accepted tho changes, andNew Zealand has agreed to accept therules aiidrulings of tho body to whichit is. affiliated. That does not makethe way. easyfor special dispensations,and, although information regardiugthe;alterations was received by theNew Zealand Uniou, it seems that NewZealand's opinion about the alterationswas not needed.by the English Unionbefore'coming to a. decision. If thatis'the case, then New Zealand is notle'ce'iving trie. treatment due to anaffiliated body. '■Proposals' Condemned.

Early indication of opposition to thealterations, or the most vital of them,is-given in 'the ■ report of a discussionRt'this week's meeting of the Canter-buryrßugby Union. . Mr. A..Thompsonstated that the alteration in the ruleswhich .would vitally affect' the NewZealand ga'mo proposed that the firstthree feet of. the front-row 'forwards ofeach team/on the side on which thoball is being put in may not be soraised,or advanced until the ball haspassed them. He stated that thiswould make ;it impossiblo for the two-three-two scrum to continue.

A number of other, members con-demned the proposals.

;Mr.- R. W.. Britten said that' if theInternational Board got New Zealandwhere it Wanted it, it would ruin thegame here, the intention evidentlybeing to drive the Dominion to thewsfll.

'Mr. Thompson said that it would.betoo late•to wait for the.matter to bediscussed at the annual meeting of dele-gates to, the New Zealand Union. Inview of the seriousness: of the position,the ;NeW; Zealand Union should at oncewrite Hohie protesting against the pro-posals and asking for a dispensation.

Mr. E. V, Phillips expressed tho opin-ion that the matter could well be left•\vjth the New Zealand Union to dealwith when it was brought under itsnotice.

.Th> chairmari (Mr. A. E. M'Phail)skid that "evidently the internationalBoard wanted to take charge of gamesthroughout the Empire as well as -ofinternationai .tours. It.legislated justto.suit the-game as played at Home.<f\Vh'y;'.were 'these rules brought inso quickly?" asked Mr. Flower. :"They/ had trouble lit Home, evi-dently," said.-"the1chairman. ' ."; .

Mr;, Flower said-that when tho NewZealand Union agreed to- abide by theEnglish'rules' Jt did hot agree to any-thing additional 'which might be ; in-serted,from time to time.It was decided /to request the NewZealand Union immediately to' protest

against the alterations and to /pointout; that they would be unsuitable toNew ..Zealand play. ,It was also de-cided torequest the New Zealand Unionto communicate -with affiliated "unionsasking for their opinions as early aspossible. ... [• ■"A Pat on: the Back."

''Wo have been criticised for someof pur rulings.ill Canterbury this searsonj but now it ■iyould appear from therulings of the International Board thatwe.Ayero correct," said Mr. S.. Hollander,who"- controlled throe 'out of the fourTest; matches' against the British teamlast-year, and also the Test againstAustralia^ this year. Mr. Hollander,the?"Christchurch Star" states, was re-rferVing particularly to the rule, citherpasVed,by the International RugbyBoaird or proposed to be passed, stat-ing :.that any player not in the serumis off-side if he has .not both feet bo-hind'-the:ball: -it applies mainly to thewing-forward, but generally to anyplayer!not in the scrum. Another,rulewas that the player putting the ballin ;the scrum- should stand: three feetfrbinVthe scrum/ and, with both handsfcelow the knee; gently propel the ball.

The New -.-Zealand team was some-what fortunate, in winning the Testwith the Australians, at Auckland lastSaturday. Coal-kicking by R. G. Bushwon the day,>and in this connection itis worthy of note that when Bush wasplaying.'for the New Zealand Universi-ties in Wellington a. few seasons agohe received valuable instruction in theart of 'gpal-kickirig from' "Billy" Wal-lace,' who was the -manager of theNew/Zealand team last Saturday. TheNew. Zealand team did not impress theWriter when the selection was an-nounced,and it was expected that diffi-culty would be experienced in working,np combination. That is what hap-pened, and it appears that it was onlyafter the Australians endeavoured toplay- safe-when in the lead that theNew Zealand forwards were able toshow some superiority. New Zealand'smain weakness was in the rearguard,where the Corner-Strang-liilburne-Pageset did not function at all well. Therewas a good excuse in the case of Page,as. this player did not receive noticeof his inclusion in the team until theclay before the match, and arrived in

Auckland only a few hours before thegame. Moreover, he was still handi-capped'in being played out of theposition to which he is most suited—five-eighths. Lilburne, too, would befar better placed in another position—that of full-back. It is there that Lil-burne, who is unquestionably a fine in-dividualist and a great toiler, has play-ed his best games. Corner, as expect-ed, was not up to requirements. Therewere, in fact, few of the New Zealandplayers who exhibited the form ex-pected of internationals, and that hadmuch to do with the good showing byone of the weakest teams that hascome to New Zealand from Australia.Far from being a "wonderful side," asone critic labelled it, the New Zea-land team was a far remove from thebest that this country, has put in thefield, and it was not because of wantof the players of tho. right type.

During the game the two New Zea-land hookers packed as, they werewrongly compelled to do in.South Af-rifta in 1928. They went down so asto permit the opposing middle man ofthe front row to pack between them..It is understood that they were in-structed to do this.'. Who was respon-sible for restricting the New Zealandhookers to this, method? .A CloseCall.';' L

In the- return gain6with Taranaki,played at Athletic-Park last Saturday,Wellington just managed to- scrapehome with .a point to the good. Earlyin the game the local representatives,showingany amount of initiative, look-ed like piling up a big score, but afterrattling on fifteen points in rapid timethey could make no more successfulpenetration. Taranaki, not by anymeans a polished side, steadied up andoffered stubborn resistance as well asshowing some attacking ability.

Six-of the regular,members, of Welling-ton's representative first fifteen wc^p noton hand, and this left room for some ofthe colts to betgiven a trial in the Ateam. The result of that trial was veryencouraging for the future, the combina-tion of young players in the backs reveal-ing pace and initiative which, with thepolish to be gained by experience, shouldmake them a brilliant attacking force.Where there has been a lack of snap inthe five-eighths'- play it was supplied onSaturday by the young player behindNjcholls. All moves did not by anymeans ..succeed, but Griffiths demonstrat-ed that he appreciates how a quick-footedinside back can pave the way to success,and he was well supported by Macdonaldat centre. Ball, a brother of the NewZealand representative,. was not able toexhibit much of that dash and. determina-tion shown-by.him in-club games. Thoughlacking• nothing in keenness,he appearedto be uncertain,which was not the.casewith Htixtable, a.'player of more exper-ience. .Pollock;is building up a reputa-.tion as an outstanding full-back, and headded to it on Saturday, his efforts con-tributingt6 the brighter side of the game.Kilby was there to serve from the base ofthe scrum, arid, Nicholls was an abledirector. :In the play of the backs allround,however,there was a good deal oflooseness,and' this," with the tussles be-tween the forwards, accounted for over-much of the'ragged order. All the for-wards were kept busy and on occasionsthey jumped-into action asjbaeks. Theyhad an admirable leader in Price, whoplayed oneof his best games in representa^tive football.'- '■.: ' '•"'■'.

Ittook them quite a time to settle down,and they were a much better set in thesecond spell. than in the ■ first. Iri thetight they indicated that they had push-ing power. Guy, the wing-forward,, hada keen eye to an opening, and apart fromshowing lip in the loose, he did some effec-tive spoiling. The visiting backs includedtwo North Island representatives, Fookesand Watson,"but it was not until thegame was well advanced that much ofaccount was done by these players, whofinally paired in a ■ bright scoring effort.Peterson's kicking was of service in gain-ing ground, though it was overshadowedby: that of-Collins,the'full-back,who serv-ed his side admirably; Little effectivecombination was achieved by the visitingbacks,,and,-as with Wellington, there,wasa good deal of fumbling.

Ata function in Christchurch after thefinal game for the Ranfurly Shieldmuch Was said by Otago and Canter-bury enthusiasts in praise of Otago andCanterbury. It was stated (1) thatOtago and Canterbury were; the besttwo. teams iii New Zealand to-day; (2)that the. strength of Rugby in NewZealand to-day was in the South Is-land; (3) that Rugby in, the South Is-land is better'than in the North Island,and the game-is better looked after;(4) that Otago was beaten by Welling-ton by what might:be termed the luckof the game; (5) that there were.betterfootballers, in tho South Island thanin the North, and so on. It is all veryinteresting,; but "self praise is no re-commendation." ' ' ; ■

iMaiiy followers of Rugby -are .won-dering what Mr. Jolly, manager of theQtago Rugby team, meant byhis state-ment in Christehurch that in the Northhis team.had had a wonderful tour, but-ând there were a great many "buts."- Outstanding players in the Welling-ton colts' team on.toiir were Griffiths,Killeen, and O'Connorin the backs,and•Watson,Ward, and Smith in the for-wards.

INDIAN TOUR

TOWN V. COUNTRY GAMES

PRAISE FOR HAWERA

Many matters of interest ■'to hockeyplayers were diseussod at a meeting ofthe Management Committee held earlyin the week. Reporting on the countrytour, Mr. S. B. Browne, managerof theteam, said that at every town the teamvisited they were accorded a splendidreception. The conduct of the Wel-lington players throughout the wholetour was excellent and called for nocriticism at all.'They played the gamefor the love of the game, he said. Mr.Browne made special mention of theexcellence of the hockey grounds theteam played on while away. The groundat Hawera was particularly good, andin his opinion it was the finest one inNew Zealand. "If all grounds werelike the one at Hawera then the gamewould become more scientific," he said.Mr. Browne expressed the view thatthe country tour should become an an-nual fixture, as it helped to stimulatethe game as well as encouraging theplayers and giving them added interest.From every point of view the tour hadbeen most successful.'-.'..

Mr. P. Joblin. said that several mem-bers of the Wellington team did notplay up to standard.; The forward linewas weak, but the backs were con-siderably ahead of the country players.In every match, however, the countryforward line was stronger than theWellington one. Mr. Browne said thatthere were no real,wingers.in the team,which made a: big difference in thecombination. Dr. Hickey said thatthe standard of, hockey displayedthroughout the tour by the Wellingtonteam and the country teams was re-ma; kable. - -.::..

Advice was received that the HuttBorough Council did not see its wayclear to grant a rebate on the rentalpaid by tho association for the use ofthe Hutt Recreation Ground for hockey.Mr. Browne said that, the council hadincreased the rent of the ground from£25 to £35, arid the past season; hadbeen the worst for many years as faras the use of the ground had been con-cerned. There had been four post-ponements out o"fatout-sixteen games,he said. , Dr. Hickey said ho did notthink the council was justified in post-poning the matches they did.Town v. Country Matches.

The lack of interest shown in theTown v. Country, matches every seasonwas commented on by several members.This year the junior game was playedoutrigfit, but the senior gamedevelopedinto nothing more than a scratch gameon account of several defaultingplayers.. Exhibitions such as this,especially ,among the seniors, do moreto ridicule tho sport than anything else.Younger players are inclined to lookupon the fixtures as something, of ajoke, and sooner than that.it would bemuch better1 to discontinue themaltogether. A recommendation to thateffect was received.Indian Tour. - .

Providing tho N.Z.H.A. accepts areasonable price .forthe.gato, the Wel-lington.Association should make >a niceprofit out of tho match with theIndians next year. The match shouldprove:a big draw with.the public, andif Mr. Browne's»motion that associa-tions, should they" so desire, be em-powered to'purchase the gate' from theparent body,;is carried at the annualmeeting of the N.Z.H.A., it is lip tomembers to see that the receipts arein excess of the purchaso. price of thegate. - The local association wants allthe money it can lay-its hands on ifit wants to realise its ambition/of oneday owning its own hockey grounds.

In connection with the Indian tour,Mr. Butcher said that the way- thevisitors were housed oil tho. occasionof their last visit was a disgrace tohockey, in New Zealand. "The teamwas housed out at Fort Dorsot, withthe idea apparently of segregatingthem," he said. "This was mostlytho fault of the N.Z.H.A., and I thinkwe should see that it does not occurnext year. We should bring the matterunder thc_ notice of the New ZealandAssociation. "„ Members agreed withMr.. Butcher, and said that the lastIndian team was composed of very re-fined.and educated men. Dr. Hickeysaid that it rested with members toentertain the team. whileit was inWellington.ComingCentre-Half.

According to Mr. S. B. Browne, man-ager of the-team which recently madethe country tour, Eêith'Hill is rapidly-becoming oneof the. finest centre-halvesin New Zealand. Throughout the wholeof the tour he played a very soundgame, and was the most outstandingplayer. His performance is all themore, creditable when it is consideredthat he played senior hockey for thefirst time this:season.Auckland's Bid for the Shield.

The sixth New Zealand Shield matchof the present season was to havebeen played' this afternoon at Christ-church between Canterbury (holders)and Auckland (challengers). Original-ly the. match was set down for lastSaturday, but. the date was inconven-ient to Auckland, and a postponementuntil to-day was asked for and agreedto. , ■ ■The team selected to represent Auck-land isan exceptionally strong one,and should make a strong bid to bringback the shield, which Auckland lostto Wellington by 2 goals to 1 in 1928,and which Wellington lost to Canter-bury early the next season. Five of theAuckland players have represented NewZealand, whilst all but three have play-ed for t

Auckland during the last fewyears. W. Gardner has represented thenorthern' city for a number of years,and is- considered the best back inAuckland hockey to-day. C. Radcliffcis one of the best centre-halves inAuckland. T. Clark is a good half-back and has represented Auckland in1929-30-31. D. Reid is a fast right-wing and played for New.. Zealandiri 1929. E. Watts is considered thefinest centre-forward in the Dominion.He was a' member of the 1923New Zealand team, to tour Aus-tralia, and which won 11 gamesoutof 12 played. C. Watts representedNew Zealand in 1925-26-27-29. He wasa member. of the 1927 New Zealandteam to tour Australia, which won 12and drew 2 of the 14 gamesplayed. Thorest of the team is made up of strongplayers.

Although the challenging teamappears to be almost unbeatable, thoCanterbury players have had consider-able experience of representativematches this season, and the southernopinion is that the shield will stay inChristchurch. Tho match will probablybe the last shield fixture of the season, j

AUSTRALIAN BOXERS

NOT COMING YET

Not much success has attended theefforts of the Wellington Boxing Asso-ciation to get three good-class Aus-tralian boxers, Bobby Blay, BobbyDelaney, and Fred Hannabery, to NewZealand. Blay, through his manager,Joe Campbell, is not in favour of thetrip at . present, according. to a cablere-eived from the association's repre-sentative this week. Delaney is anxiousto make tho trip, but it would be use-less the association bringing him overalone, as he is too light to fight anyof the welterweights in the country atpresent. Hannabery is njw a fullblown middleweight, which makes himtoo heavy for any suitable- matcheshere, and in addition he ia in line fora fight with Ambrose Paliuer.It is to be regretted that the asso-

ciation's endeavours to import freshblood and give the game a much-neededboost have not been attended with thesuccess they deserve, but it is notlikely now that the match-making com-mittee is on the job:that they Will let-matters rest as they are. .

Benny Leonard Again.Oneaspect of tho present world-wide

economic depression has been the num-ber of attempts of one-time good classboxers to regain some of their formerglory, or, more accurately, some ofthe money that'goes'with the glory, inthe ring. In Australia this has beenparticularly so, arid the tragedy of BertM' Carthy's death has been one of thedirect results. The latest to announcehis intention to "come back" is BennyLeonard, who retired from the light-weight championship of the world in1925. Leonard is now. thirty-five yearsold, and it is reported that he lostheavily in stock market declines, andfeels the need of this world's, riches.He has signed.a five-year contract withJack Kearns as his manager, and hewill do his fighting in the welter-weight division.American Wrestling.

young runner to fill fourth position wasa performance full of merit.. The prevalence of influenza had a de-cided effect on the field. The-total of70-odd runners was poor in comparisonwith the total of 130 who competed inthe last inter-club contest. •Olympic Club Notes.The fact that four members of theOlympic Club's regular team were awayfor the Vosseler Shield race did not

affect the enthusiasm of those- whoturned out. The club provided 17starters, and it was to the club's creditthat all finished: J. Blanchfield putup his best performance to date. C.Campbell ran a well-judged race. ACarter did well, but did not seem toover-exert himself. B.

■ ■ Playin tho finaVOf the Chatham-Cup.between Tramurewa"' (Auckland) andNomads (Christchurch) at the' Basin■Reserve last Saturday, was just aboutup to the standard of averageclub foot-ball. Though the game was not mark-ed by brilliant play, it Was noiie theless interesting. The impression givenbefore:play had been :in progresslongwas that Tramurewa were the strongerteam, but it was; seen that Nomadswere- very "dangerous when they gotnear goal, and it wag expected that

there would bo a hard tussle. Therewas, for the first two spells, but in theextra half-hour the Aucklanders;assert-ed their superiority in a surprisingmanner,- and, scoring three goals'rathereasily, won by 5 goals to 2.

The first half was a spell of missedChances,by both sides. Tramurewapossessed the/football, but their efforts'in front of goal were weak. Time andagain Mill, the left winger squared, buthis shots were not taken advantage of.The forwards were slow on the ball, andseemed to have a desire to walk theball into the goal rather, than to shoot.On the other hand, Nomads were quick-er on the ball, and when: they did getnear the Auckland goal there was al-ways trouble. With a 2-0 lead in thesecond spell, Nomads' chances of win-ning the Chatham Cur looked bright,but Tramurewa set about to score, andthey succeeded in equalising before theend of the second spell... In the extrahalf-hour ..their ability to stand up.toa hard gamestood them in good*tead.and they showed . they were muchstronger than their tired; opponents.Petone's Display; 'At Petbne Becreatunr ground, theJocal team had as visitors a combina-tion which ,;was capable of. upsettingcalculations. .

PROVINCIAL COURSEHUTT BUNKERS

TIMED CARRIES OF CLUBSThe intor-club match between Mira-mar and Hutt seniors at Hiitt on Sat-

urday -was interesting if only as a testof the course and its condition in viewof the coming provincial championshipmeeting, which will take place:.thereearly next month. The: condition ofthe course left little to be desired, andit was evident that a good deal oftrouble had been taken to make it so.The greenswere good, and thebunker*have,lost their new and artificial look,while the fairways, with the exception.ot the newer holes, were good,enoughfor anybody. J.D. M'lntosh, the pro"fessional who did a 73 there playingwith, Dyke on Saturday, says that"thecopse; is three strokes harder than•Miramar, and he attributes this largely"to the way in which some. of. thebunkersêat into the greens: 'Looking --at the flag, from the second shot.dis-tance;- it .is quite true .that" {hose-not very famihar with- the course donot bunkers which eat into someof the greens so much,that they trapwhat would be considered a.very goodbrassie shot on other courses. It iliatact, necessaryto shoot straight on thepin-if several-of the bunkers are tobe missed. It is not everybody whocan.play all.his seconds with such ac-curacy^ however, and if he does notknow the holes well, the averageplayer'does not think of placing his drive soas to open up the hole. On some of thegreens there is a sufficient margin ofsafety to suit the avorage player onone side of the pin only, and there anothing to indicate to the visitorswhich side the,danger lies. KanaWagg's -visits to the bunkers on Satur-day show, that even for a good golfer :who knows the course ihe greens are-.tight," but he definitely proved that 'being bunkered on the-Hutt course doegnot necessarily mean the loss cfv: i...stroke, as he was down in - 23; frbM -the majority of those he entered;. Ithas been suggested that if asmall bumpor knoll were placed just'-. on or ;&st/outside the;greens marking the innertoe. of the bunkers, players,wouldknowthe whereabouts of these hidden traps;but a round of the course and a:littl«°memorising would serve as well!, :r'- '"■''■'■Big Ball a Failure? ■ ,

Accordingly stopwatch, clubs, and balls were .collected,and the test carried out.

PH4R LAP'S SUPREMACY

Phar Lap, who at. short notice lastseason'dethroned Amounis from the lead-ing position as a stake-winner in Aus-tralia and New Zealand after the latterhad eclipsed Gloaming's record, hasscored so brilliantly in his opening eu-gagements at fiveyearsthat his prospectsof eclipsing the Englishrecord of £57,455.held by Isinglass, which has stood lor 36years, appear very bright.

A. notable feature of the list of stake-winners in .Australia is the rapid'addi-tions that have,been made to the roll ofhonour.-■ Less' than 20 yearsago the listof.horsesraced'in Australia who hadwon•prize-money running to- five figuresnumbered only 16,.while to-day it hasincreased to over; 40... At the beginningof the 1913-1,4racing ;season and:his.'grandgpn- Trafalgar-were the,, only:horsesv who had won over £20,000..Car--biri,e;stotal.stood for 32 years,:but it is,now- ranged up." in ' eleventh position.The- marked increase! in prize-m<shey dur-ing tKe past 10 yearis has,,of course, to bo'taken into account in considering thematter of stake winnings. :Particulars' of placed' performancesand stake-winnings of leading horses in-Australia and New Zealand have . been

OFFSPRING OF HALIGAN

The two offspring of the Hallowmassmare Haligan yet to race; Arrowzone (byiisogne) and .View. Halloo, (by Hunting

Song), were both in action. at: Wa-nganui on Thursday, but there was amarked differencein .their showings. Ar-JOWZOIIe, now five yearb old, was one ofthe elect in the Putiki, Hack Handicap,but his effort was far below anticipation.Carrying 91b overweight tbr obtain theservices of-H. Gray, he ran with Land-mark (the winner) to the straight,; butthen- produced the whitest of. white fea-thers. ;On the other hand, View Halloo,a three-year-old-gelding, gave a most-im-pressive display of courageat the closeof the Wanganui Guineas,and he hadthe second horse,Kin & Colossus,extendedto the limit at the post to hold him outof the minor dividend. What Arrowzoneappears to lack View Halloo would seemvery certainly to possess. 'Haligan is a particularly well-bred mare,and if will surprise if some of her' stockdonot make really good. Her dam; BonnyHelen, has already left such useful:per*formers as Uncle Alex, Tannadice,andTrue Blood, and besides is a half-sister(by Boniform) to Bonny Portland, thedam of Reremoana,Lady Bentinck (damof Belvoir), and Lady Cavendish,all notedgallopers of a few seasons back.■ Haligan -vas a successfulperformer her-self and was not sent to the stud till1925.1 Her first foal was Arrowzone,'andher next, two years later, View Halloo.Shewas again not served in 1929, but wasreturned to Hunting Song last season, towhom she has recently produced a fillyof tV-*same colour as View Halloo. Herowner, Mr. C. R. Standfield,.of Danne-virke, is having .'ier mated this year withMr. G. Carrington's other Hurry On stal-lion, Defoe, who was imported to theDominion seven or eight months ago.'

DEFEATING GANGDOM

TEARS OF EFFORT

College Tsby and college professorayehad star parts in the drama of de-ironiug "Al" Capone, "tsar" of Chic-go gangdom(.(says the "Christianeienee Monitor")-' The classroom play-d a leading role in forcing him tolead guilty to conspiracy to violatelie prohibition law. The old "flatfoot"olice methods got nowhere with thishief of organised crime; he wasrought down by expert accounting.Capone was able to surround him-

Blf with a wall of secrecywhich therovernment could not scale. Standingt the top of a hierarchy of crime, notimitod to Chicago, but aiming to beational, he could elude the best effortsopin on him the operations of his:reat liquor syndicate. But he couldot protect himself from his past.The Government tried- the obvious

hing. It. tried to trap him in his cur-ent operations. It failed. When it0-uld not go forward, it then tried go-ng backward. It was a young manot long out of college who thought ofhat. He went back to Capono's earlylays in Chicago when he was a merebeer hustler."There the footprints, which to-day

ifouldbe well covered,were found eas-ly. discernible in the records of oldirohibition cases. As one of the minorworkers in the syndicate, Capone didlot conceal himself with the elaborate«ire he took ■when he became the syn-licate's master. From the forgottenecords of 1921 the following yearshe net was woven. When it was castlyer. him, it was so faultless that heviolated a law of gangdom—"neveralk"—by saying so.----: WANTED TOKNOW.■Mn Eliot Ness is the college boy who

vorkea lour years to capture Capone.lis success is due to his wanting totnow all about everything—the stud-;snt's urge., Mr." August .Vollmer, Chief i>f Police of Berkeley, California, is the:;ollege '.professor who helped him.. Mr.follmer conducted a course in policeidministration at the University ofChicago.some years ago,and-Mr. Ness:ook it. •.■■:.At the same time the "schoolmaster"'

>f the prohibition forces, Mr. HarrySI. Dengler, was beginning to teachjew. crime-detection methods. Theirnstruction on better ways of huntinglown crime gave.the direction needed;o the Capone problem. ■»...■.

Of course, behind Mr. Ness and his.;ight "untouchables" stands the manresponsible for the entire undertaking,,Miv'George E; Q.Johnson, the United;StatesAttorney at Chicago. On. tak-ng office,in J927. he launched his cam-paign,against Capone. He enlisted theprohibition, unit, the income tax divi-ii6n,and:the immigration service. With-out .this carefully-planned programme,without Mr. Johnson's quiet persevereince.'despite all obstacles, his3nqoiiragement of the men who werenrbrking year after year to build upi ease' against the gangster, Caponewould never have been,caught. Mr.Alexander G. Jamie, now head of theCKicago "Secret Six," contributed muchto' the outcome when he came intocharge of the prohibition' specialagents at Chicago.

' The history of this five-year- under-taking' starts not only with Mr. John-son's' appointment as Federal Prose-entory but with the placing of the pro-hibition agents civil service thesame"year. : The need for" an investi-gating staff to follow up the ordinarywofk of raiding and arresting wasalsd supplied,in 1927 by the setting upof special agents in' the prohibitiontyire'ati.' They. were.to be the detectivesof the service.. "■ | :.,■:■ Vflayino a pabt. - ' / ...1Mr.'Johnson immediately enlisted acorps of. these special agents on theCapone case. The theory was at firstfollowed that Capone could be reachedthrough speakeasy keepers and cor-rupt policemen. But the keepers ofspeakeasies, evenwhen confrontedwiththe threat of prison sentences, wouldnot talk, and this "lead" broke down;

' The-next tack was to try to workinto the heart of a gang suspected ofmaking liquor for Capone. Two of theFederal prohibition agents ' went ■toChicago Heights, which was then knownas the "alcohol capital." It was theprincipal Capone producing centre. Itsdaily output was 6000 gallons of liquorand 400 barrels of beer a day, sellingfor; 500,000dollars a month, and goingeven to such ;distant points as theDakotas. . , ■ .V ! These two:Federal: men—one.of themwas young Mr. Ness—went right tothe headquarters of the gang, posingas.crooked officials, and. showed theirofficial credentials. The gang, tookthem in. By a few judicious raids toexhibit their power, the agents per-suaded the gang to give them a com-plete, list of their stills, 32 of them,some with a daily.- alcohol output of1000 gallons.,.' ■.. . : . ' ,

But;in, trying to uncover the Caponeconnection, the agents ran.up againsta stone wall. Capone. was now exactly.like a wealthy manufacturer who hashis business so well organised that hecan "go. to Europe,and leave the runningof it to his subordinates.' Capone.sys-tematised his industry, picked out cap-able lieutenants to run each division,and stood inaccessible behind them, sofar as evidence that would stand up inCourt -was concerned.

CLOSE ESCAPE.The Sicilian gang leader at Chicago

Heights, who1 had been tricked, was:slain, and the Federal agents' ownchauffeur, who it proved had'sold themout, was also slain. Mr. Ness earlierhad a close escape when a gangsterasked his chief if he should use hisstiletto on him.

Getting at the gang generalissimothrough the ranks of the gangsterswas" given up. The gangsters have apersonnel service which examines aman's record back to his birth. Thencame Mr; Vollmer and-the prohibitionservice's own school. ■

Mr. Vollmer sketched in class theFrench method of detecting criminalsby ruse and "under-coyer" men. Hoalso instructed his pupils, among themthe several prohibition agents, iii theGerman system of careful study ofeverything possible. For the Chicagogangsters, he advised a combination ofthe two.

The first test of these methods inChicago came when a boat carrying acargo of 900 cases of beer was takenin the Chicago River. The boat andthe'beer were there, but no clue as to■whom they belonged. Under the old Jsysteni, the case would have ended jthere. But under the new procedurethe boat was goneover with the utmostcare three times. The last time a con-cealed set 'of • name plates was found.These gave the boat an identity, in twomonths all its movements were known,and 18 persons were indicted-.

Mr.Ness was placed in charge of theCapone investigation. For a time heconcentrated on Balph Capone, a bro-ther of the "tsar," because Ralph own-ed two roadhouses in Cicero, and itwas to be supposed he would have deal-ings with his brother. But here againMr. Ness ran vp1 against the sameblank' wall.

He then gave up the hope of goingforward, and turned back to Capone's•earlie* days. He studied tip on hhn.

What he needed first was to hook uphis past with his present. The nextthing was to find out about a present-day Capone brewery. All the big onesw-ere obviously Capone's. ;«.'- Mr. Ness had aman brought in fromanother division, who is an, expert infinding breweries. He has his own sys-temj-'and as it may be useful to himagain, it is not described here. In aweek he had spotted one of the largestCapone breweries, a concern turningout 2,000,000-dollars'worth of.beer ayear.

A man who is an expert on thegathering up of bits here and thereand digging out their significance wasalso imported. Then the brewery wasraided. The second detective got towork. Another 2,000,000dollars-a-ycarbrewery was run down and studied.

The records of old prohibition viola-tions back to 1921, when Capone hadnot been careful, were pored over,and piece by piece Capone's trailthrough the years was charted.

Meanwhile the income-tax men hadbeen toiling with exceeding care andhad finished their case sufficiently, theauthorities judged,to convict. The im-migration officials moved against thedeportable element of the gang.

The prohibition case against Capone,however, stands out as unique. He isthe first major gangster made to admithis prohibition guilt. His ■ prestigeamong his own people has been dam-aged. It looks as if Capone is out—put outby college boys. -WELLINGTON RIFLE

CAN HE "COME BACK" ?

I Recently the-cables contained the in-formation that Jack Dempsey, ex-heavyweight champion of the -world,Iivas about to Start on a tour of theStates:givingexhibition bouts prepara-tory to making an effort.".to "com©back." American:sporting writers donot regard Dempsey's intentions withany great optimism, and, although theyrealise that Dempsey's managers■willsee that his exhibition partners do notprovide any unwelcome surprises, theyare sceptical regarding the ex-cham-pion's chances when he meets reallyserious opposition; Dempsey's tour ofthe "sticks" commenced on' 19thAugust at Beno, and he got over thefirst hurdle all right by knocking outJack Beasley, in the second round of afour-round exhibition. A -Mexicanheavyweight, Tony Fuente, was alsoto have boxed two rounds, with Dejnp-sey, but the bout was called off be-cause, it was said,.Fuente had twobroken ribs.

"Looking almost like the'Manassa•Mauler.of old, the former heavyweightchampion knocked Beasley down forcounts of eight and nine early in thesecond round, and then put him awaywith a series of vicious lefts and fightsto the body. The final wallop was ashort left that sent Beasley sprawlingon Ms back half-way across tho ring,"says an American writer. Dompsey,bronzed by the-sun and weighing 199pounds, seemed to be ia excellent con-dition, and was breathing easily at thefinish. . ■ •

This year, on this his-toric spot;a huge new dock will be com-pleted (says the "Weekly Scotsman").The first unit of a large plan of har-bour improvements contemplated forseveral years by the City of Quebec,it was hurried to completion to be readyfor the arrival of the great new 42,500----ton CanadianPacific liner Empress ofBritain, fitted at Clydebank, to makeher maiden voyage from Southamptonon 17th June. The new dock is beingbuilt in several sections. The firstsection, which will be ready this year,'was begun in 1925, and it has a totallength of 4352 feet, of which 3776/feetare parallel with the shore line and576 feet project at an angle.

CRICKET

WELLINGTON CLUB

The, annual meeting of the WellingtonCricket. Club.was.held last evening at theAccountants' Chambers, Mr. M. F.Luckie presiding.

In moving the adoption of the annualreport and balance:sheet,> Mi". Luckiemade feeling referenceto the loss sus-tained by the Wellington Club,and cricketgenerally in the Wellington districtthrough the deaths of Mr.- J. P. Firth,Mr. H. M. Gore, Mr. W. R. S. Hickson,and Mr. Alex. Paterson. The club wasthe oldest in Wellington, and was thatnight_ celebrating its ninetieth-birthday,the first meeting having been held in1841. It was a most enviable record,andalthough the club had not been so suc-cessfulin the senior grade as in the pastseasons the result of : the last twelvemonths had been gratifying. Hemade,referenceto matter set out in thereport, details of which have been pub-lished, and noted that, the balance-sheetwas' not entirely satisfactory.

Mr. M. J. Crombie seconded the: mo-'tion. - •.■■■■ :. -. . ■. Mr. W. A. Hammond raised- a point inregard to the expenditure for materialduring^the past season, and expressed theopinion that this was, in part, due tolack of care on the part of members. Inregard to week-day practices, at the BasinReserve he said that members were notturning out as they should,but this wasm large part due to the poor •wicketsplaced at the disposal of the club. "Thewicket's given to the Wellington Club lastyear were rotten!" ' ■..•(. -•■ . ■-•■ ;■ Members: "Hear, hear!" . ■•■..•,..'

_Mr. R.-S. Park voiced the opinion thatjuniormembers should provide themselveswith their own bats and so curtail expen-

diture to a certain extent. He was will-ing to offer a bat for competition, amongthe junior teams. ' .The fact that twenty:three members hadplayed for the first eleven of the club was

commented on by Mr. C. H. Hairi, whosaid that such a state proved.that some-thing wasradically wrong, and that itwasmost desirable toRetain the same team.atleast two succeeding. Saturdays. . ,. A tribute to the,cricket, and'especiallythe bowling, capabilities of Mr. ,E.'. D.Blundell, who had represented Wellingtonin-Plunket Shield- matches,was paid byMr. Luckie,.who said, "Under more for-tunate conditions we might have had thismember playing for New, Zealand."

In these days of transatlantic tele-phony it may be of interest to hoarsomething of the Zulus and tlieir meth-ods of inter-communication over the■ether ' (writes Philip Sullivan, in"Chamber's Journal").-It is not generally Known that the

Zulus have a.system of wireless com-munication, just as their northernneighbours have a system of communi-cation by means of drumming. Theramifications of this wireless systemhave never been proved to any depthby Europeans.. If asked to divulge thesecret, the' average Zulu merely smilesinscrutably. 'The fact remains,the Zulus can anddo communicate with one another overlong distances. Instances can be quoted.''6v/eilts -taking place hundrods of milesarray, with no telegraphic, telephonic,or other usual means of communication,get into circulation amongZulus in theform of verbal communiques, and bythem are related to their European.masters.- At the time such statementsare received, with, incredulity, changingto astonishment when official .confirma-tion is forthcoming. Immediately afterthe Battle of Isandhlwana (Zululand),■where the British forces were practical-ly annihilated and the Zulu army washeaded for' Eorke 's Drift, the nativehouse .boys iu|Pietermaritzburg (Natal)"were noticed to be in a state of abso-lute .terror.'.,- All they could say.was"The Zulus are coming!" There wasat the •time no news-of.any disaster,but the .tame Zulus working in thetowns knew all about the massing oftheir warlike brethren intent on de-stroying the How thesituation■was ultimately saved is a matter! ofhistory.

Our lin-guist,said we; only wanted a rest in theshade. /After a while we managed toengage,our friend in conversationabout his crops—asking whether theBoers had done■ any damage,, and howho had fared generally in the troubl-ous'tunes. No word of war or ;of re-frsshment. After this .desultory conver:sation our Zulu kraal head inquired if |

>*rhaps we should like some "mass." W©accepted with alacrity, ana a largebowl was produced ana consumed. Thisfood and beverage is a special brew ofsour1 milk,- the discovery,of which wasaccredited to Professor Metcbnikoff,whereas the Zulus have been using itas a food -for .themselves and their in-fants for centuries. Under the influenceof the genial conversation, our kraalaead unbent so far as to tell us thathe had not as yet been molested. Fur-thermore that he had got some aews"on the wind" (wireless) from Lady-sniith, many, nany miles away, and thatvery morning. We feigaed indifference,and he went on to describe an incidentthat had happenedin Ladysmith at day-break. . 'Suiting the action to the word, withdramatic voice and gestures he toldthe'following story:—"Just as dawnwas_ about to break a;party of 'soft-hats' (Zulu for Colonial soldiers wear-ing Baden-Powell hats).accompaniedby a, party of English soldiers wearing'•pill-boxes' on the side of their heads(Royal Engineers),' arnied with wireand dynamite, left camp on route for,a hill occupied by two Boer lleld-guns1which were menacing Ladysmith. TheBoer gun: detachments are, sleepinground:a ;fire near the guns. The noddingsentries await their relief. The ' soft-hats'and 'pill-boxes) are creepingsteathily along. Suddenly they rushthe sentries; before the alarm can begiven. : The machines at the back- ofthe.guns .(breech-blocks) are.removedand slung; on poles..- The. pill-boxes'fix' the dynamite and blow up theguns: • The party and the• prisonersreturn to camp with the 'machines.' " ■

Then the sequel. A British officialcommunique issued a couple of dayslater tersely announced theJdestructionof'two Boer gun's, at Gun Hill (Lady-smitli.), after .the removal of the breech-blocks, .by a'party of colonial volun-teers .("soft-hats")» assisted by theRoyal .Engineers ("pill-box" caps).The information had been sent byhelio!': ■•'■'■ ■ ••.■'•■ How is. it done? One. explanation isthat, the'news is passed from mouth tomouth-^the, Uneducated Zulus'have "noother . means of i'communication—butthe mouth communication is not con-fined-to'ordinary methods. The: Zulusare adepts at voice-throwing in theopen<air, 'and can literally- talk to oneanother f,rom hilltop to hilltop in ahigh-pitched' sing-song, which' carrieslong distances.1 The writerj whilst in' avalley .between ,two hill's, has actually'"listened in" to a couple of herd boysin charge of,separate herds carrying ona conversation,from hill to hill. An-other is that watch firesamused ior*aght w,ork and a "Morsecode.brought into play by obscuring

f I the-fires for long and short periods.

An ignominious fate has been met by 1;he notorious—or famous—Gormansea craider, the Wolf, the vessel which har- ]ried the shipping of the seven seas 'during the days of war, but which, oflater years, carried cargo and passen- (gersunder the tricolour of France, andbythe name of Antinous. Now she hasbeen sold to Italian ship-breakers, andwill pass ingloriously from her almostlegendary sphere to become a heap ofprosaic scrap iron. As a result of thesale, France will be £3600 richer, butthe seawill be cheated of its legitimatetoll—the shell of a brave ship.

■The Wolf spent'fifteen months in thePacific Oceanduring the war, sinkingships and laying mines in the trackof shipping on the New Zealand andAustralian coasts. She is a vessel of7133 tons gross,and' was built in Ger-many in 1913,and named the Watch-fels. In 1916 she was converted froma merchantman to an auxiliary cruiserand;was armed with a battery of seven6.9 guns,.and.several torpedo tubes. Shewas also fitted ■with a telescope funneland masts.

Disguised as a peaceful merchantmanand flying-a neutral country's flag, sheslipped through the cordon of warshipsguarding the North Sea,and then pro-ceeded,to the Arabian Seaand the In-dian Ocean. In the Arabian Sea shecaptured the British Imperial Oil Com-pany's steamer .Turritella, 5528 tons,which was an. ex-German.vessel,form-erlynamed the Gutterfels, and was alsoa sister ship to the Wolf. •'-. Other vessels-captured by the Wolfin the Indian Ocean and the PacificOcean were the Jumra, 4152 tons;Wordsworth, 3509 tons; Dee, 1169 tons;Beluga, 508 tons; Wairuna,'3947 tons;Wenslow,567 tons; Matunga, 1608 tons;Hitachi Maru, 6557 tons; Igotz Mendi,4648 tons.

The .Wairuna was a Union. Companysteamer,1 and was en route from Auck-land ,to San Francisco.. She was cap-tured near the Kerinadec Group afterthe Wolf had been hiding at SundayIsland. The.first the Wairuna's crewknew of the nearness of the Wolf waswhen a seaplane from the raider drop-ped a message on the steamer's deckcommanding her to stop or be sunk bygunfire., The Wairuna stopped and was

boarded by the Wolf's crow. Aftercoal and provisions had been transfer-red from the steamer to the raider, theWairuna was sunk.

From Sunday Island the Wolf pro-ceeded to the vicinity of the HaurakiGulf, and then laid a mine field in theshipping track towards the North Capeand down the west coast as far as CookStrait. More mines were afterwardslaid along the Australian coast in thevicinity of Cape Gabo. After leavingCape Gabo the Wolf captured theBurns-Philp steamer Matunga, and thenthe raider entered the Indian Oceanand captured the Japanesesteamer Ail-achi Maru, containing a large quantityof foodstuffs, which were, transferred,to theraider before thenrize was sunk.

The Wolf next captured the Italiansteamer Igotz Mendi, loaded with coal.A prize crew was put on board theItaliau vessel, and she escorted theWolf "in the Indian Ocean, and keptthe raider supplied with coal fuel.Eventually a number of prisoners, thecrews of the.vessels which had beencaptured, were transferred to the IgotzMendi, and the two vessels proceeded toEurope. The Wolf arrived back safelyat Kiel, but the Igotz ilendi waswrecked oh the Spanish coast withoutloss of life. .

The mine field laid by the Wolf onthe New Zealand coast sank two steam-ers, and others were mined off Aus-tralia. The mine field off Farewell Spitwas*responsible for the sinking of theCommonwealth and Dominion Linesteamer Port Kembla, which struck oneof the mines on 17th September, 19i7.when she was proceeding from Sydneyto Wellington. The vessel sank afterthe explosion, but not before the crewwas able to take to the boats. Less for-tunate waa the steamer Wimmera,.which was mined near North Cape on2Cth June, 1918, and sank so quicklythat tweiify-six of the 151 persons onboard were drowned. 'The mines laid by the Wolf on theAustralian coast also brought destruc-tion to; shipping. "Vessels mined in-cluded thei Federal Line steamer Cum-berland, the barque Handa Isle, othervessels mysteriously!, disappeared afterleaving Australian ports, and their lossin anumber of eases is thpught to havebeen due to the Wolf's mines.

"1 think you'd better not go over the

[ this: Hawks is awakened by the tele-phone which; connects the apartment

i,, -with the. office of W. S. S. Eodgers,! vice-president of • the company for |

which he is aviation adviser, Kodgerssuggests, a- business flight to Memphisor Dayton or Wichita. '"Wait till I see what the weatheris," saysHawks. "Hey, Edith, what'sthe weather?" .

And Mrs. Hawks, who has been upsome time taking her daily atmosphericdozen, as she started breakfast, tellsjustwhat the weather is here and else-where. .:

"I'll be with you,in half an hour,"Hawks tell Eodgers, "but I'll have togo round the long way."1 And. while !Hawks is 'out on a flighthe' is apt' to call Ma apartment fromsome landing point and ask what theoutlook, is on his next leg.

A NEW DANGER

i Time was when a well-aimed shoe or:' a,milk bottle was effective iv breaking

' np"a back-fence chorus of cats, but theskyscraper apartment has put an end

-' to that;, a disturbed tenant on the

'• twentieth floor can hardly see, let: alone aim at, these midnight crooners,::: says the "New York Times." Insteadi h» complains to the Noise Abatement

Commission,which this year has re-ceived an large number ofhurry ealla to dislodge cats that fillthe civilised air of New York withcries-ofthe jungle.

Most of them are strays, and it hasi been estimated that there are about

1,500,000of these nomads in New York.The Society for the Prevention ofCruelty to Animals, the only organisa-tion which makes any systematic at-tempt to gather in the waifs, collectedneatly 250,000 last yeai; the EllinPrince Speyer Hospital received about: 1000, and a large number were also

■'. , brought. to. the BUe-A-Wee Home.1 These assaults,however, seem to make■ 'but slight inroads on the homeless cat

population. In fact, it seems to be in-creasing at such an alarming rate thatperhaps in a few yearsthe Mayor, likethe burgomasters of Hamelin, will■ need the services of a Pied Piper.

' The life of the ■stiays is not easy.

Occasionally they start it as foundlings.More often they have known betterdays, those they spent as family pets.Sometimes the call of the wild inducesthem to leave the warm hearth and j;heflowing,saucer for vagabondia. Usu-ally, however, it is forced upon themwhen the family departs for the sum-mer and leaves the cat behind with a,c.areless,"Oh well, he can take care ofhimself all right."

FAMOUS RAIDER

SCRAPPING THE WOLF

Before-^l flew across Europe and theMediterranean to the edge of the pSahara Desert,;,I imagined the latter sto bo a sea of sand, waterless,treeless, vwith an oasis here and there—a wilder- 1ness of sand that has. swallowed up. menand caravans, writes : Colonel Pi-T.Etherton iv the '' Christian ScienceMonitor." -'•'-'• :

The reality showed me that theSahara is not, a southern paradise,neither is it a, trackless waste, but acurious mixture of desert • stretches,sand dunes, ranges of high moun-tains,, and oases where palm and datetrees can be. counted by the thousand,and where you can pick oranges andapricots as you might in California,although in. few and far betweenplaces. -The outstanding human element ofthe Sahara is• perhaps the tribe ofTuaregs, the "People of the Veil."Little known, to the. outer world, theyare the overlords of the Sahara, theKnights, of-the Desertj whose homo isunder the blue sky. For, they will notstay under a permanent roof, regard-ing it as the greatest-ill omen. • •The Tuaregs shun'the'world in gen-eral and consider the Sahara as theirown. They live-by raiding, a battle-loving, plunder-hungryi tribe. Theyare the most mobile raiders on earth;gigantic, silent men, mounted on hugecamels, which are . trained to risenoiselessly and move off at once at afast pace, unlike the ordinary camel,which is a noisy beast resenting theorder to move forward.

The most remarkable feature aboutthe Tuaregs is the veil, worn in allother Moslem countries by the women,but here adopted solely by the men.How the custom arose none can say—not even the Tuaregs themselves;possibly in ages past it was with1 theidea of. protection from the suu'srays and the whirling sand of thedesert. :

Over the desert, and the land ofthe Tuaregs, the~ French, in whoseterritory almost the whole of theSahara lies, are gradually extendingtheir, influence, subduing the warliketribes, building fortified posts, andslowly carving their ' way forward.They are now, in conjunction withAmericans, embarking on a scheme forthe conquest of the Sahara,-a colossal,task, one of the most daring projectsthat man has eve~r conceived..

Tho Sahara covers an area of ap-proximately' 3,500,000 square miles,stretching 2000 miles from east towest and 1700 from north to south.The scheme now being elaborated willbring in the waters of the Mediter-ranean to the heart of the desert. Ifsuccessfulit will result in a large partof the Sahara producing a high gradetype of cotton and wheat, with far-reaching influence on markets of theworld. .

Imagine utilising the waters of anocean to flow over a continent! TheSahara is to be first attacked from itseastern side, at the Gulf of Gabes, asmall inlet of the Bay of Tunis. Atthat point a chain of lakes, more orless dry in summer, runs for about300 miles westward into the Sahara.A ridge about 14 miles long, and 200feet in height, separates this chain oflakes from the .sea. Through thisit is intended to; cut a canal and forman initial inland sea of 4000 squaremiles, -with an average depth of 100feet. ■■••■ .. .

The canal will be 200 miles long, .40feet deep, and 200 feet wide, largeenough to take 'ocean liners. Thechain of. lakes—Ghott el Djerid,Gharsa,and El Nelrhir—form the mainreservoirs in ,this immense work, anddykes■to dam up. the rivers coming infrom the, north., will form . subsidiaryreservoirs. ■

As the work progresses• furtherreservoirs and lakes •will be created,and minor canals. will carry water todesert areas and convert them intorich agricultural fields of cotton, wheat,and fruit.. It is hoped to,harness theAtlantic also and bring in" the watersof that ocean from the west, by asystem of canals through Morocco.

We should thus have the two greatseas co-operating .in the conquest ofthe world's largest desert and itstransformation into a land of- milkand honey. .

The plans will also have a profoundeffect upon the climate of North Africa.The winds 'from tHe south which domi-nate this region.would raise au immenseamount of water,'thisêvaporation be-ing doubled when the sirocco' windblows. This mass,of evaporation, mov-ing toward Algeria, Tunisia, and Mo-rocco, will form a protecting shieldagainst the sun's rays during the day,and lessen the cold during the night.In"other words, it will constitute anexcellent regulator of the temperature.

GO-GETTING IN ITALYBritish .business men have longbeen

accustomed to.'accusation of slacknessand ineptitude. Especially have theybeen told that the first stage in suc-cessful "go-getting" is to publish theircatalogues and price-lists in the lan-guage of the country in which businessis being sought, says the "Daily Tele-graph." ; ■ ■...■■;

This moral has been devastatinglypointed by a document lately receivedby a city firm.

An Italian macaroni dealer, evident-ly realising the folly of attempting tomake England ''macaroni-eonseious''in his own' language, establishes thepersonal note thus:

"Dear Sire,"I have"to delight you offer, with

thepresent catalogue, the renownedsmacaroni EXTBA-QUALITY OF LTJX-UBY,of my production that you cedeat the following conditions."

Our attention captured by this racyopening,'he turns for a moment to amore formal style:

"Sure (he adds) that take in con-sideration to offer and the hope of re-ceiveyour request.

"Yours faithfully,

' . ' "S- G."A list o£ ''existing prices'' follows,

with much mention of that well-knownBritish measure the "quintal."

Any vagueness;about delivery iscleared up by the note:

"The prices one intend for deliveryrailway station Torre Annunziata forthe clients residents in internals Cityon the whole permissible. The notehas merely become rather more per-sonal.) . . 'The sting, however, is in the tail. InContinental Europeans that prefer theexpeditions for Kailway." ("Inter-nals" is perhaps a little idiomatic butbright red capitals there follows theannouncement:, ■ . .

"Speciality of the House,""Little paste special M ," "rich

With a passing reference to various"formeds" which are "not sind aboveproduces," the appeals fends trium-phantly:

"To request cxpedit gratis championof the macaroni and one packet of thelittle past." "Commandsnot inferiorsto 5 quintals." - .

With this specimen of business initia-tive before them, our importers withan eye to the South American trademay now write of confidently to theArgentine:

TENORS ARE RARE

; "There is a lot /of hot air talkedabout musical appreciation," declaredMr. Reginald Jacques, Director ofMusic at Queen's College, Oxford, atthe opening lecture of the tenth Sum-mer Course in Music Teaching at Ox-ford. .

Mr. Jacques, who is also conductor ofthe choral class of the Royal College ofMusic, stated that he was deeply sus-picious, too, of the word "personal-ity," says.the "Daily Telegraph."

"Personality is a very dangerousthing to have. People possessing itrely on it, and consequently never pro-pare, their work, simply holding theiraudience by it. It is not until theyleave that their listeners realise theyhave not. been given a single construc-tive thing to take away."

Referring to. the shortage of tenorproportion of voices found is 75 sop-ranos, 40 contraltos, IS basses,and 2tenors."If you give a soprano a high note

sle holds on to it, but tenors are worse.

They take it oil' the shelf, so to speak,and look at it for a very long time.(Laughter.) It is quite good to makevoices Mr. Jacques said: "The usualthe contraltos take the tenor part some-times."

Mr. Ernest Bead, professor, lecturer,and conductor, Royal Academyof Music,said: "Music is made up of three ele-ments—tone,'rhythm, and. dynamics.

"Tone reaches us through our audi-tory senses; rhythm through ourmuscles,and dynamics through our emo-tional sense. High or lowsounds reachus through our auditory nerves. Theability to hear very high notes dimin-ishes with age. '..-..

"Abilityto hear difference in pitchalso varies with individuals, but pitchdiscrimination is vital to music. Ifyour fifth sense is defective you can-not develop a highlymusical mind. An-other sense necessary to musicians isrhythm. .Musical intelligence, andmusicalvfeelings must be added, for allthese four things are essential."

Halvdcn Karterud, a blind scholar, Iwalked the streets of New York and Itold how agreat city "looks "to amanwho cannot see.

A bizarre. ;,andconfusing babel ofhuman voices speaking many tongues;

Ceaseless3cream of rumble and clangof metallic, mechanical sounds.

Endless canyons walled in by im-mense buildings—vast sounding boardswhose height his ears cannot measurebeyond five stories.

A sensation of going up and up andup in an"elevator to a.level where theair feelsrthinner. about, the temples.

Mr. Kaxferud, one of Norway's out-gtanding blind teachers,was a delegateto the Worlcf.Conference on Work forthe Blind, meeting at the Hotel Penn-sylvania, saysthe "Montreal Star." Hehas been blind"s,incebirth.

Of the 120 delegates,; representing 37nations at the conference, about one-fourth are blind. What they "see" inNew York, he said,'must be justaboutthe same as his impression.

Their "eyes" are their ears, theirclever, sensitive fingers that patientlytrace again and again' the outlines ofmodels of New Y,ork's skyscrapers anda subtle, highly developed sensitive-• ness to air pressures which is called"obstacle sense," a kind of sixth senseof the blind.

"We all notice that queer babßl ofvoices and languages first," he said.

"Yousee, we blind must learn to guideourselves about in the streets by lis-tening to the voices of those about us.That's how we keep from running intopeople. We listen more' intently thanyou do. . Therefore we are more con-scious of what people are saying. Inour own cities we don't hear such amixture of tongues."

Mr. Karterud walked along a cross-streetthat leads into Fifth avenue pastthe new Empire State Building.

"You see,' .these buildings act assounding boards," he said. "This isnot a very wide .street—I know by thesharpness of the noises. I am con-scious of enormous buildings. Not somuch high as big, covering a lot ofspace. There are so few breaks in thewalls. ;■.-■■,

''They must be at least five storieshigh, for the street noises would sounddifferently if they weren't. But howmuch over.live stories, I couldn't tell."

He paused beside the Empire StateBuilding,- whose metal-covered mastgleamedis-the sunlight, 1252 feet abovethe sidewalk. Ho shook his head.

"No, "he said, "if you had not toldme, I wouldn.'-t.know."

"Ah, this is.a; wider street, an ave-nue," he said.-,'^The sidewalk is wider.I can tell by the sound of my footsteps.A very wide street, I think. Still hugebuildings,but not. so close together. Thenoises are not so'sharp. The air feelsdifferent." i-. ■ i

CONQUEST OF; SAHARA

DESERT MAY BE TAMED

: ;, .Q-UEEN ..OF OMELETTES

Shereigned onMont St. Michel, wheretourists watch the incoming- tide rushover the sand flats as fast as a gallop-ing horse. Madame Poulard—"apretty, .woman with ~ great, personalcharm'and a sweet voice." Now thatshe will make no more omelettes,theworld of travellers laments her passing,and a rich tradition is clustering abouther name. The London "Observer"prints heartfelt tributes to her person-ality and her skill with the frying-pan.

Some writers have ventured to de-scribe special methods used in the•creation of the famous Poulard omel-ttte, but these are discounted by aseemingly well-informed habitue ofMont St. Michel, Miss C. Nina Boyle.There was no mystery about Madame'somelettes, she declares. In fact, herentertaining tribute to this queen ofthe kitchen assures us as we read on:—"Her omelettes were the same as anyother omelettes one gets in France. Shedid not put water in them. She didnot put cream in them—at all events,in the days when she made her name.She made them of eggs and nothingelse,and that is how omelettes'shouldbe made. Shewhipped them well, notlightly.. She cooked them: very light-ly, and that is how omelettes must becooked, in sizzling-butter, and- plentyof it. (Eggs go on cooking themselveseven after they have been taken offthe fire, which is why they are so oftenspoiled.)"

Madamo Poulard "was not famousbecause of her omelettes; her omeletteswere famous because of her—a verydifferent thing.'' Thus Miss Boyleas she relates, more, and more fascinat-ing; details of Madame Poulard'sgenius. There were two reasons . forher fame, we learn, as this. Englishwriter continues:—"One was the fry-ing-pan she used. Before that enorm-ous fire, at which you could haveroasted a sheep, and where I saw forthe last time a spitz-dog in action, youcould not use an ordinary pan. Madame

FAMOUS FIGURE PASSES

Poulard's fryingj)an had a handleabout, a :yar& and a half, long, and itwas her■ dexterity with this awkward'implement that, made her omelettes orher fried soles,or anything else thatshe cabkfidj interesting.

And there was another item ■ that[might not have"pleased .the enthusiastsquite so much—the pan was neverwashed. It was wiped out; for tointroduce water to a frying-pan or to awooden cooking-spoon was anathemato the old-fashioned French countrycook.

"The other reason was herself. Shewas the loveliest woman in Normandy,and Brittany, too; and she was as pro-per as she was pretty,,and-as pleasantas she ,was. proper. I dOtibt if onecould have found her match yi her par-ticular- style; and her husband was anequally fine type of Norman manhood."

These two young people; with theirgood looks, their charm oi". manner, andtheir natural dignity," made a recordin hotel-keeping,: and well deservedtheir success, saysMiss Boyle. •"So vividly do l remember her spark-ling youth that it gives me. a shock,,even after the lapse of all these years,t^ hear her called La Mere Poulard.The last tiino I saw'her she had grownstout, but was still1 comely.

"I;have beaten the eggs for theomelettes,'' Miss Boyle tells us, withevident pride in having- merited thisgreat honour. She adds that she. has" even:been privileged ■to handle thefrying-pan." Arid then she says of.the scene of Madame's triumphs:

"The first time we.went, we weretold of acarriage and apair being suck-ed down the quicksand the week before—or the day before—the driver andthe. foolhardy tourist who refused tohire a guide escaping on planks thrownon the sand in the nick of time."

The peculiarity about the famousMont St. Michel omelette,says anotherwriter on this mouth-watering theme,was that the centre of it tasted likevery well-cooked scrambled eggs.

The NourmahaL.The passing of Mr. Edmund Gillow

1recalls the ship Nourinaha.l,one of- a

'"number of well-found vessels owned byJoshua Pi'owse, of Liverpool. There

''were several other shipsall named afterthe characters in ; Thomas Moore's

I poem, "Lallah Eookh." The Nourmahal,of 860 tons, Captain Lewis CowelBray-

! ley, after spending about six months> finding a cargo arid loading! sailed onJ 31st January, 1858 (Sunday), andfc reached Port Chalmerson sth May. All'■ told there were about 1000 people3 aboard, besides live stock of various

" descriptions. After clearing the Chan--3 nel no land was sighted until she was

'right on to the Snares,straight ahead,s when-the captain wasbelow at tea. Arush to the deck, a slight turn of tho

T helm, and she was clear of theseII dangerous islands. She was ofE tho0 Otago Heads at dusk the following1 evening. The captain stood off for the1night, and being a capable and force-

ful man he sailed right in through thoentrance of Port Chalmers early the•• following morning without tho assist-ance of the pilot, . who was muchr

_annoyed, and insisted on taking her

q out again and bringing her in himself.Ie In the meantime.several of the crew,3 got away with the ship's best ■ boat,a causing tho captain to use the strongestj language of which he was capable.in Dunedin at that time was in the soft

clay stage. Food was in short supply,and, arriving at the commencement ofa the winter, many of the new arrivals

'j: had a very hard time, the present-day'j. troubles being insignificant compareds^ with them.7 The Brig Content.16st Another of Mr. Edmund Gillow's ex-•ff- periences was in the brig Content, 158th! tons/--the property of Mr. James Mac-le Andrew."■ Shewas loaded with a cargoid of wheat for" Sydney, and left Dunedinst on 7th July, 1858, and arrived inre Sydney on4th August. She made a good

nu. up the coast, and went rightih, through Cook Strait on the one tide,; : much to the disappointment of theon captain, who was looking forward toth some fishing at Port Underwood. Theyhe were; however, within sight of Mounton Bgmont for four days, and later they>ni were hove to for a week, during whichno time she drifted 200 miles off her course,he Considering the time occupied on thein journey Mr. Gillow used to say that it

was the cheapest trip'he had ever haded in his life. -

AT MOERAKI POINT

A "PROPPED" LIGHTHOUSEDANGEROUS REEFS

Prior to the opening of the railwaybetween Christchurch and Dunedinthere were many small ports along thecoast toViSch;sevdrsl coasting vesselswere regular traders from Dunedin,butthe comingof therailway has left theseports to remain only as fishing centresor holiday resorts. . Such a port wasMoeraki* On.the bbutherrfside of theport is the beautiful little promontorymown as Moe'raki Point -with its ofi-lying dangerous rdefgj ,"Fish Keef"and .''Danger■ Reef,,'.'..on which therehave been, nurnerqus casualties inwhich many of' the early trading ves-sels have been'involved.■:-. In 1877 ili:>vas consideredthat a lightwas urgentlyneeded in the locality,-andas a. site for a lighthouse station hadbeen purchased a few years previouslyit was decided as a matter of urgencyto: utilise'a light and apparatus thathad been originally imported for ToryChannel and was subsequently alteredto serve as a light at Hokitika. Ten-:ders were called for the erection ofthe tower and dwellings,and that of Mr.H. C. M'Cormick, of Duoedin, for thesum of £2097 12s 7d, was accepted. Mr.M'Corniiek commenced his work inSeptember, 1877, and by March, 1878,the task was so far completed that theerection of the lantern and apparatuswas- commenced by Mr. David Scott,the lighthouse Artificer. The lanternand apparatus had been landed on thesite by fhe s.s. Stella on 15th Novem-ber, 1877.

SEVERE STOEM.During, the time. of. erection the wea-

ther had been very bad, but the climaxwas reached in<a southerly gale whenthe lamp was ready to be lighted. Itwas found during this gale that thevibration was so severe that the lamp|glass was shaken off. It therefore be- fcame necessaryto stiffen the tower bymeans, of heavy prop beams as shownin tho illustration.

The tower; which is a wooden strue-

to refer to all those happening in CookStrait, but only to those' within rangeof tho lightreferred to.

Schooner Eonga was first sighted bys.s. Pateena early on the morning of23rd April, 1906,bottom up, 15 milesnorth-east-of Cape Campbell. The tugDuco made several unsuccessful at-tempts1 on following- days to tow thoBonga to Wellington, but had to aban-don the job on each occasion throughbad weather. The steamer Gertie sub-sequently picked tho Eonga up nearKapiti and towed her to Wellington onIst May, 1906.

The Weathcrsfield wasrefloated someconsiderable time after stranding, andsubsequently was taken to Fiji to beused as a hulk.

By the expression, "total loss," it ismeant that a ship is a loss for legal andinsurance purposes.

Nairnbank's Wanderings.Since leaving England at the begin-

ning of

_March, 1930, the Bank Line

motorship Nairnbank, which is now atWanganui, has travelled 91,500 milesand visited 39 ports in 15' countries(states "The Herald"). From Fal-

mouth the vessel proceeded to Tampa,Florida, to load coal, and then to Gal-vestpn, Texas, to load cotton and oil,:v further quantity of oil being loadedat San Pedro. The cargo was dis-charged at Yokohama, Kobe, andO aka, in Japan, and also at Sbhojin, inKorea. Next, the Nairnbank proceededto Calcutta, Bangooh, and Colombo,whore Indian produce was loaded forSouth African ports. The next stagewas to the Philippine Islands, wheretobacco and copra were loaded forTrieste, Marseilles, Barcelona, Bantan:der_, and Bilboa. After discbarge theNairnbank went from Bilboa to Van-couver, whore a wheat cargo wasloaded for Shanghai. From Shanghaisho. went to Nauru Island and loaded aphosphate cargo for Adelaide and Wal-laroo. When the phosphates were dis-charged she loaded another wheat cargofor Shanghai at Port Pirie and Ade-laide. After it was discharged shereturned to Australia and loaded . athird wheat cargo for Shanghai beforeshe went to Ocean Island to load herpresent cargo. Bomarkable variationsof temperature were experiencedduringtho Nairnbank's voyaging.' When pro-
