JTALK GF A "TOUGH SHIP."

I TWO- MEN REMANDED.

Found sleeping on board the motorlaunch lona early this morning by Con-stable Allsoj.].. of the Queen's wharf' police, two .seamen. Henry Long (2ft).and John Patrick McDowell (2.">). laterappeared before Mr. F. K. Hunt. S.M..ii\ the l'olii-e Court when they admittedthat they were found without lawfulexcuse on the boat.

Sub-Inspector Flanagan said thatLoner diverted his ship, the Mahana. butthe captain did not isr-ue a warrant forliis arrest. The shipping company waswilling to give Long his train ticket toXnpier if ho would rejoin his ship there."McDowell stowed away on the PortAuckland at Brisbane and worked t=owell on the voyage that the captainallowed him to leave the shin here." saidMr. Flanagan. "The trouble is thatthere is quite a number of such cases,these days."'

Long told the magistrate that theMah.lll9 was a "tough ship."

M-. Hunt: It will be tougher here ifyou don't rejoin your s-h'.y.

'•All rifilit I will .no back to the ship,but if I see the captain and pet mydischarge and >etilc down in this coun-try as ;1 respectable citizen, will that beail right?" asked Long.

-Vcs.- replied Mr. Hunt, '"but it willbe all wrong if you don't."'

Both men were remanded for a w«-ek.Long Ik ing jjiven permission to rejoinhis vessel.

NEEDS "GINGER."

AUCKLAND RUGBY.

LACK OF RUGGEDNESS.

MR. A. A. BAKER'S PLAHCT.

Tn explanation of his recent etat --

nient to the Manukau Rugby Clubregarding the standard of play in Au?k-land, and in view of possible misinter-pretation of his plea for '"hard foot-ball."' Mr. A. A. Baker, chairman of themanagement committee of the AucklandRugby I'nion to-day made a furtherappeal to players for more vigorousmethods on the field.

'"What we want in Auckland Rugbyis more 'ginger' in the play," said Mr.Baker. "In saying this. I do not wantthe players or the public to misinterpretwhat I require from our footballers.The forward player of to-day does notcombine with his team, but plays as anindividual: what I am endeavouring toget the clubs to do is to give us moreteam Rugby, less individualism and moreniggedness about their play. From ourset scrums we must eliminate the 'sea-gull, and give preference to the pusher."Replying to Mr. V. G. Cavanagh. ofDunedin. who states that my plea for■hard Rugby" was a dangerous statementto make. I would like to point out thatthere is a dividing line between Tiard,

Rugby and 'dirty' Rugby. In myaddress to the club I pointed out thatdirty' football would not be tolerated

under any circumstances."Auckland needs to re-leam the lostart of dribbling.-' added Mr. Baker. "Itis nearly 10 years since we saw on Eden

Park a good forward rush bv a packwhich would sweep the ball from one endof the field to the other in a matoli-winninjr movement. Our tackling alsorequires to be brought up to standard,and the players must learn to tackletheir opponents in a hard, clean man-ner, always making sure that they brinjrdown the man with the ball. We mustejit out head-locking and high tacklinjr.

•'lf our players are to improve thestandard of Rugby, they must get 'foot-ball fit.'" Mr. Baker continued. "I my-self would like to see all our Aucklandclub players as fit as the Springbokteam we saw last season. I also askthe clubs to develop tactics and strategyof their own.

"I would emphasise that all state-ments I have made to the clubs havebeen made in an honest endeavour toimprove our standard of football. Idonot think it necessary to retract anv ofthem/'

SAFE STOLEN.

BURGLARY AT WAIUKU.THIEVES EXTER GARAGE

Breaking into the garage of Hall andHyland, motor engineers. Queen Street.Waiuku. Tast night, thieves stole a <*afeweighing 1601b containing books and asmall sum of monev.The burglary was discovered at eight

o clock this morning. Entrance wasgained by forcing a lock on the frontdoor. Presumably the intruders used amotor car. for six gallons of benzinewere found to have been taken.

The safe, which has not yet beenfound, contained only about £l" in pettycash. Detective W. E. Turgis, of Auck-land, is investigating the matter.

SCHOOL LEAVING.

BOYS UNDER 14 YEARS.LEGAL POSITION* DEFIXED.

"Has a factory inspector the right tooverrule the Education Act!" asked thechairman, Mr. F. C. Pace, at thequarterly meeting of the AucklandSchool Committees' Association lastnight, when statements' were made thatchildren were leaving school before theage of 14 to obtain work.

Mr. Pace said he did not knowwhether any members of the associa-tion had been troubled with the ques-tion of children leaving school beforethey were 14. Cases had been broughtto his notice where such children hadbeen allowed to go out to work bygetting a permit from & factoryinspector.

There was one case of a boy in thefifth standard who was not 14 years ofcage, and his parents bad approachedMr. Pace about the boy leaving school.He had told them it would be ruiningthe boy's future to take him away fromschool at that age. When the timecame for him to get higher wages hemight be cast aside in favour of a boywho has the benefit of more schooling.It was decided to seek information onthe position from the Education Boardand from the Labour Department.

Any inference that its inspectorswere encouraging children to leave schoolearly by giving them permits or by anyother means was vigorously dispelledto-day by the Department. It neverissued permits unless it had the legal

, right to do so, and this right wasi defined in the Factories Act.

The Act, it was explained, sets outthat a boy or girl under 14 years ofage may not be employed in any fac-tory except in special cases authorisedin writing by the inspector. Suchauthorisation may be {riven only in thecase of a boy or girl over 13 years ofage in respect of whom a certificate ofexemption has been granted under theEducation Act. on the grounds that thechild has attained the age of 13 years

and has satisfactorily completed thework of the sixth standard.

The Department added it was its dutyto administer the Act without preju-dice. Tf the gentleman who had raisedthe matter last night wished to forwardspecific instances of what he claimed■was happening the Department wouldbe only too pleased to look into them.

B.M.A. ON HEALTH INSURANCE.

For the cause that lacks assistance,For the icrong that needs resistance,For the future in the distance.And the good that we can do.

Public opinion on the proposal to establisha national health insurance system coul<lhardly be gauged at this time, primarily, ofcourse, because the public is not adequatelyinformed. A great many people, no doubt,accept the principle, and of these some wouldsay that the system is so badly needed thatits establishment is justified at any cost,though they hope that the cost will not fallupon themselves. Others, while accepting theprinciple, are apprehensive (and not withoutreason) that a " universal" system, so lightlytalked about, would be so costly that it isimpracticable. By all these people, and byothers who have no fixecf opinion, theconsidered views of the New Zealand branchof the British Medical Association, expressedthis week by its president, Dr. J. P. S.Jamieson, will repay study and provokethought. For the 8.M.A., whose views areentitled to at least as much consideration asthe views of any other organised body, andprobably to more, is not convinced that thekind of system ' contemplated by the.Government is a good thing in itself.

Just as the promotion of employment is agreater object than the relief of unemployment,said Dr. Jamieson, so the promotion of healthis a greater object than the treatment ofsickness. "National health insurance, beingreally a system of indemnification for sickness,does not materially advance the greaterobject." He admitted that New Zealandersfell a great deal short of what could reasonably'be expected in physical standard and fitness,but he pointed out that for this condition such"commonplace matters" as bad housing,working, conditions, and mothers' lack of helpin the home must bear some responsibility, andthese Avould not be remedied by a healthinsurance system, nor were they remediable bymedical means. As to symptoms of badphysique and unfitness, he pointed, as anexemplary instance, to the prevalence of dentalcaries. "If dental benefit were included undernational health insurance, the provision madewould naturally be free extractions, standardfillings and standard dentures. But extractions,fillings and dentures provided ad infinitum andin perpetuity would not enable the wholepopulation to produce a single better tooth."In other words, such a system would focuspublic attention and concentrate public fundson cure rather than on prevention.

What, then, does the B.M.A. suggest? Itadmits that there are some people, both intown and country, who cannot afford a familydoctor. "The first function of any schemeshould be to make that service available tothose who, from their own. cannotobtain it." But the really costly items ofmedical treatment are, necessarily, "labora-tories, specialist services and hospitals." Thecost of these is often difficult to meet, even bypeople in good circumstances. The B.M.A.therefore suggests that to help in the provisionof such services should be the second functionof the system. "There is sufficient evidence,"said Dr. Jamieson, "to indicate that a nationalsystem to defray the cost of diagnostic,specialist and hospital services for a largeproportion of the population would be aworkable proposition." These views—particularly the emphasis on the need fordoing more for the prevention of disease, andon the wisdom of attempting something which,while undoubtedly helpful, will also be withinthe Dominion's financial means, rather thanattempting something which may easily be toocostly and may not even be helpful—deservethe careful reflection of the community. Itwill be possible better to assess their valuewhen the Government's proposals are known.

ANXIOUS DAYS IN EUROPE.

Even after reports based on hastyimpressions have been discounted, it is clearthat the situation in Europe is driftingdangerously. Germany's sudden action inAustria has created uncertainty and graveapprehension everywhere. Despite Germanassurances there is fear that Herr Hitler'snext move will be against Czechoslovakia, andthis fear has led to a reiteration of Frenchpromises to support her ally, and to anassurance by Russia that if France supportsCzechoslovakia Russia's support also may berelied on. Although it would be foolish toprofess certainty, it- seems highly improbablethat Heir Hitler contemplates any overt actionagainst Czechoslovakia, either i*nmediately orin the near future. It is more probable that—provided action is not precipitated by eventselsewhere—Germany will be preoccupied inAustria for some time. But the reports ofFrench alarm over developments in Spain, and'of efforts being made to induce Britain to agreeto the abandonment of the non-interventionpolicy, are disquieting. Mr. Chamberlain,unmoved by the reckless counsel of the Labour ,Party leader, has reiterated that the cause ofpeace and freedom will be best served "if wekeep out of Spain," but circumstances suggestthat he may find difficulty in keeping Franceout too. It is impossible yet to gauge in whatdegree France's apprehensions arise from herSocialist Government's support of the SpanishGovernment's cause, and in what degree theyare based on the traditonal French mistrustof Germany. The report, if well grounded,that the Government's fears are shared by theFrence General Staff, is of considerablesignificance. If Government and Army wereunited, France would be strong. But thereare grounds for believing that France isdangerously divided on the Spanish question,and a part of Mr. Chamberlain's heavyburden at this moment must be the knowledgethat French support in certain circumstancesmight be less substantial in performance thanin promise.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

New Zealand's CentennialIn addition to local members, a number!of representatives of country cent res atti-ndfdlast night's meeting of the' Auckland Provin-

cial Centennial Council. Mr. A. W. Mulliiran.general secretary of the r-entennin] brnii'-h ofthe Department of Internal Affaire, was alsopresent. It was announced hy the chairman.Sir Ernest Davis. that the Pan-PacificWomen's Association had accejitert New Zea-land's invitation to hold its ]!)4(l conferencpin tlio Dominion. It was not unlikely that-Auckland would lie chosen as the locale forthe convention. Sir Ernest announced that ameeting of the Auckland Metropolitan Centen-nial Committee would be held this evening,when a Tiiost eneoiiraprmnr report on the pro-gress made would be presented by him.Mail by Surfboat.

A surfboat of luminal design is beingconstructed in Auckland for passenger andmail service between steamers in the road-stead at Nauru Island and the shore. Tominimise the risk of swamping while it isnegotiating a surf-bound gap in the reef, theboat is divided by transverse watertight bulk-beads into four compartments, the forwardone for the mails, the next for the helmsman,the third for the engine, and the after onefor about a dozen passengers. While not inuse the craft, which is 28ft long, and whichwill be capable of a speed of about 10 knots,will be hoisted in davits near tho loadingcantilever. In view of the arduous service, theboat is of exceptionally strong construction,.-t present the full length engine beds, thestringers and the ribs are in place. '

Maori Relics at Whakatane.Recent excavations for the foundations of

the new Whakatane Hotel on the Strand havebrought to light several interesting Maorirelics, including a finely carved canoe paddleand several small pieces of greenstone. Yes-tf-rday the workmen uncovered a fairly com-plete human skeleton. Such discoveries arevery common, for many ancient pa sites crownthe bluffs at the back* of the hotel, and afterhundreds of years of Maori occupation theground is rich in human remains, which aredisturbed by every trench driven for founda-tions. Building operations some time azo un-covered a number of skulls"" and poundingstones made from a particular kind of rockfrom Whale Island. The skulk probablycame, from a sacred grove of karaka trees atthe foot of the nearby Pohaturoa Rock, wherethey once hung as crop and fishing talismans,

Ex-Soldiers Meet von Luckner.About 350 ex-soldirrs wlio gathered last

rnplit at the Eden-Ro.skill Returned Soldiers"Club were highly entertained by Count Felixvon Luckner, who recounted some of his ex-periences as a young man. Before the arrivalof the guests Mr. L. A. Tozer, president of theclub, mentioned the unfortunate outbreak ofinternational discord. He did not think thiswould interfere with the pleasure of theevening:, however: members would realise thatCount von Luckner was no more accountablefor these developments than they were them-selves. In his address, the former raider ex-tended the greetings of families in the occu-pied territories who hnd become acquaintedwith New Zealand soldiers. "You were thebest ambassadors, as when they were almoststarving you brought them fo'od," he said."They have never forgotten that." A vote ofthanks was proposed by Sir George Richard-son.

The Wider Franchise.A difference between the atmosphere of

the Municipal Association Conference and thatof the Counties' Association Conference wascommented upon by Mr. W. Marshall. Mayorof Paeroa, chairman of the Ohinemuri CountyCouncil and a member of the executive of bothassociations, when reporting to the PaeroaBorough Council this month. At the counties'conference every delegate was a ratepayer,but mayors and borough councillors Vho at-tended the Municipal Association conferencewere elected on the Parliamentary franchise."It was very noticeable to me," stated Mr.Marshall, "that there is a growing tendencyto take less account of the interests of rate-payers. It may be only a passing, phase, buthe was sorry to see remits referred to theexecutive of tho Municipal Association seekingto increase borrowing , powers of boroughcouncils without recourse to polls of rate-payers. It was not democratic, and in hisopinion was unsound. He did think theremits would receive the approbation of theexecutive, but he was sorry to see tliom geteven that far.Voyage of Aurora Star.

A stormy Tasnian crossing !i: :<, ynulitwas described by Mr. J. W. Kelly, of Auck-land, who arrived back at Wellington yester-day by the Wanganella. He was one of thecrew of tbe 40ft staysail schooner AuroraStar, which sailed in the unsuccessful yachtrace from Auckland to Hobart in January.Soon after rounding, North Cape and setting acourse a strong south-westerly wind arose,and for three days the Aurora Star was hove-to under her main staysail only, tossed andpounded by heavy eeas. She finally was puton her course again and headed for Lord HoweIsland, which was reached after 11 days atsea. Putting into the lagoon through tbedangerous reefs, the Aurora Star was obligedto rely on her engine, and so was automati-cally disqualified from the race under a rulewhich dictated that yachts' engines must bekept sealed. From Lord Howe Island a fair-weather passag-e of five dayw took the schoonerto Sydney. She is still there. The owner,Mr. H. E." Terry, and his son, Mr. E. H. Terry,are contemplating taking her on to WestAustralia.

University Roll Increased.Substantial increases in the number of

students enrolled for arts and science courses,nnd doubled enrolments in the faculty ofmusic, were the outstanding features of thisyear's enrolments at the Auckland UniversityCollege, said the registrar. Mr. L. O. Dee-borough, yesterday. The figures for the com-mercial section had been well maintained, hesaid. The numbers enrolled up to yesterdaywore as follow:—Arts. 42:-science. 130; com-mercial, loS; law. 70; engineering, r>2: archi-tecture. 40: music, r>7; medical. 18: agricul-ture. .">; dental. 1; journalism. 20. The totalstudents on the register of the college was!>(J2. as against BC>(> for the corresponding periodlast year.

Companies and the Coming Poll.Under a change in the municipal electoral

law, made in liWti. the voting powers of com-panies at the coming polls will differ con-siderably from those of three years ago. Thepresent position is that, with the exception ofcompanies which are ratepayers and are pro-perly enrolled in that capacity, no companyhas the right to nominate an individual tovote on its behalf. Under the previous lawcompanies had the right to exercise their votesby letters of appointment and resolutions ap-pointing nominees, I>ut the section of theMunicipal Corporations Act which made thinprovision has now been repealed. The law inits present form also states that an individualwho votes on behalf of a ratepayer companyis not allowed to vote in his own light.

Materials for New Railway.By making use of railway sleepers, rails

and fastenings which have been recoveredfrom the Okaihau-Raiigiahua abandoned rail-way, where construction was commenced sometime ago and discontinued, the Public \VorknDepartment, hopes to avoid much of the dift't-culty experienced in other parts of New Zea-land in obtaining materials for new railwaydevelopment, it was mentioned .by Mr. fj. H.Mackley, general manager of railways, on hisreturn from Dargaville yesterday afternoonthat the cost would be much reduced by usingthe materials from the abandoned line. Hestated also that the new route chosen, whichwould flank the town on the north and north-west, was regarded by the engineers as re-markably eafiy for railway building, and thistoo would have the effect of keeping the costdown to a minimum. About three miles and aquarter of line required to be built to link upwith the present Kailin line, he said.

Modern Warfare Training.The change from horse transport to

mechanised transport under the new militarytraining scheme is gradually taking shape, andat the end of this month something entirelynew in training operations in to be undertakenby B Squadron 4th Motorised Regiment.X.Z.M.R. Instead of an annual camp of 14days, which has usually been held at Danne-virke or Waipukurau. the squadron will entercamp at. A«hhurst on March 30 ond remainthere only three days. On April I? it will inoveoff under mechanised transport for a longtrek of a kind never attempted in Xew Zea-land before. The first stop will be made atLevin.

City Building Dispute.After having, hoard lejral argument in the

ease Auckland City Council v. Civic House.Ltd.. in which plaintiffs were alleged to haveerected a small addition on the roo/ o-f theCivic House building in contravention of thebuilding by-laws, Mr. C. R. Orr Walker, S.M..yesterday reserved his decision. For defen-dants Mr. Herman challenged the applicationof the by-law under which the informationwae laid to a temporary structure, and arguedth<it, though temporary, the structure was sosubstantial and so situated ns nnt to add tofire hazards. Counsel reviewed the facts toexplain that the structure had been practicallycompleted in the. honest belief that a permitwould be granted as a matter of course, andwhen the council did not adopt its engineer"?recommendation to grant the permit, with con-ditions, all that wafi done was to put in doorsand windows to protect the inside from theweather. For the plaintiff*. Mr. Mackaysuggested the points that work had been car-ried on without the necessary permit, end thatthe structure hud not been in'accordance withthe by-law governing buildings in the innerzone.

THE HOUSE-WARMING.

A MAORI BLESSING

(By J.C.)

In .the ceremonious opening of a new carvedhouse for community use, such as Waikato'sb-eautiful wliare-wliakairo at Xgaruawahia,the. ritual customarily recited not only doesdue honour to the forest that funnelled thetimber but invokes a blessing on the houseand all who are to occupy it. There is anancient karakia recited by many generationsof wise men in the Arawa country that isthe most spiritual and jitting of all theprayers I have heard on such occasions. Itis still used in the Lakes Country, and it isapplicable at the moment to the great houseMahina a-Rangi because the ancestral chief-tainess after whom that building is namedwas of the Arawa group of tribes. The longrecital describing all the staged in the housebuilding, propitiating the spirits of the forest,appeals to Tane Mahuta to make the hoiuestable and firm and to avert all accidents andills. It invokes the gods to make strong andfast all the posts anil pillars, the rafters andbeams, the ridgepole, the carved elabs, andall. This kawa, or opening-prayer, is calledthe "Kurtiku o te whare." This is my trans-lation of the final chant in the ritual* (takendown from the tohunga's dictation after acerornonv in 1908) :

"Bind, bind together all these timbers thatthey may be firm and steadfast; so that intotliee, O Tane, may enter not the cold andstorm. Ix>t not these enter in — the Frost, the(ireat Rain, the Long Rain, the Sleety Kain.the Hailstones. Stand firmly, () Tane. againstthe Mighty Wind, the Long-prevailing Wind,the tempests of Tawhiri-Matea! May all bewarm and safe within thy walls! These shalldwell therein—Warmth, Heaped-up Warmth,and (blowing Heat, Joy and Gladness; theseare the people who shall dwell within Tanestanding here before me! Bind to the housefront the carver's axe. Xow ends our workupon this house!"

Aβ the priest ends hie rhythmic recital, allthe 7>eople cry. not "Amen," but its ancientMaori-Polynesian equivalent. "Hanmi e! Hui e!Taiki c!" Then the chioftainess 'crosses thethreshold—the lirst woman to cross it —the

r-acred kumara is eaten, the final freeing fromtapu, and the people arc free to enter.

Of all ceremonial prayers, whether Maorior pakeha. that I have heard nothing exceedsin appropriateness and imaginative beauty thisappeal to the soul of the forest 'and the spirit*of Xature. The old Maori, in viewing a grandhouse, always had before him the source fromwhich it came.

CUPID IN ALBANIA

Ten years ago Ahmed Zogu, successivelyfarm buy. soldier, minister, revolutionary, exileand President of the Albanian Republic, pro-claimed himself King of Albania and becameknown to the world as King Zog I. He hangeda few objectors, took up his residence in thelittle red-roofed palace in Tirana, worked lom:hours, dodged assassins' bullets, and smoked150 cigarettes a day.

Soon hie subjects began to complain. Theking was a bachelor. They feared that if hedied without an heir the land would be rentwith civil strife over the throne. "The Kingshould take a Queen.,' they said. At the timeof his coronation King Zog broke a longengagement with Lela. 2-4-year-old daughter ofKhevket Verlae, a powerful clan leader. Heexplained that if he married Lcla it wouldoffend the other 29 ruling families and thatlie didn't want a revolution. Lela'e father,grumbling, nae exiled.

Several years ago the King was eupposedto be courting Princess Oiovanna. daughter ofKing Victor Emmanuel of Italy. Premier Mus-solini was eaid to favour the match, but inthe end Oiovanna married King Boris of Bul-garia. Later it was reported that Zog wouldmarry Princes* Ilena of Rumania, but Ilenamarried Archduke Anton of Austria. KingZog made light of these rumours. "It's allnonsense about these foreign prineeesd*." hetold the London '-Daily Telegraph.-' "Whathave I got to offer them?" (The king's annualincome is £18,000.)

Later, on a visit to Vienna. Zog met anAmerican dancer. It was said that he fell inlow with her and proposed that she returnto Albania with him. "She socked him on thenose," reported one correspondent.

Two year* ago the King took desperatemeasures to placate the clamour of his peoplefor a Queen. He offered a handsome fee to anymarriage broker who oonld h'nd him a comelybride with an income of a million a year.Promptly a Portuguese broker elbowed anunemployed 19-year-old Hungarian countersinto a Tirana-bound 'plane, but hie enterprisewent for naught.

In the ensuing two years Zog's name haslinen linked with the names of several Albaniangirls, an Egyptian prim-ess, a Chicago heiressand a Russian-born dancer. Tania Visirova.of the "Folios Bergeres/ , Still there were nowedding Ik>lls. But a new romance came intothe life of the 42 year-old king. In April heis to be married to Conntces Geraldine Apponyiof Hungary, whose mother was an American.Evidently the king had given up his searchfor a bride with a million a year, for thecountess recently resigned her job as guidefor the Budapest National Museum, where shesold postcards to toiirists. Her salary wae £9a month.

BRITAIN FACES HER WORST CRISIS SINCE 1914ATTEMPT TOAVOID WARBID BY PREMIERFRENCH FEARS OF A

FASCIST SPAIN(United Press Araodation.—Copyright-—Rec. 1.30 p.m.)

LONDON, March 16.The correspondent of the Australian Associated

Press says the European situation has become immeasur-ably worse duringrthe last 24 hours. Britain is now con-fronted with the most momentous issues since the lastwar, demanding urgent decisions. Any one of these deci-sions, if in the wrong direction, might plunge the BritishEmpire into war.

The fact that Cabinet has still not devised a policyto meet the new situation, apart from reaffirmation of itsadherence to the*principle of non-intervention in Spain,reflects the Government's difficulties

Rumours imthe lobbies before the debate, suggestingCabinet differences and the possibility of the Governmentresigning, somewhat exaggerated the position, but it isgathered that definite differences do exist.

CABINET DIVISIONS.

Some members of the Cabinet consider that Britain'must make a stand without delay with France and theother members*of the League of Nations. They declarethat otherwise*Germany will overrun Europe.

The majority of Cabinet members, however, opposedrastic action.and will back Mr. Chamberlain's policy ofisolation.

Apart from the Opposition parties, whose policy iscomplete and immediate intervention, in conjunctionwith collective action with the League of Nations, thefeeling in the House, particularly on the Governmentbenches, is of considerable uncertainty.

The situation, which changes from minute tominute, was that to-day Spain, within a few hours,replaced Czechoslovakia as the focal point of thes crisis,which, nobody in responsible quarters disguises, is asmenacing as that of 1914.

The issue before the British Government—which isnow an issue concerning the Dominions as vitally asBritain—can be summed up thus: If General Francosucceeds France will be faced with Fascist States on herthree frontiers. France, who is appealing for Britain's co-operation, considers that if this is tolerated it will reduceher to impotence. Shs conceives that her eastern frontieris becoming as vital to Britain as to herself. Consequently,the French forsee the Fascist challenge to themselves asa challenge to the British Empire.

DOMINIONS CONSULTED.

Behind the constant consultations of Downing Streetwith the Dominions lies intense anxiety that the marchof international events is heading for disaster. The reasonthe Dominions are being so intimately consulted isbecause, as it was expressed in one quarter, it is a caseof "Nobody can be out of step." It is imperative that thefear and apprehension created in Europe should not beallowed to continue. Otherwise war is inevitable.

It is expected that this position will require thedeclaration of the Dominions, policies at the earliestpossible moment.

The Australian Associated Press diplomatic corres-pondent understands that there is strong ground forbelief that France urgently represented to Britain theimmediate abandonment of non-intervention and fullsupport of any French intervention in Spain to preventFascist Powers from occupying three of the Frenchfrontiers.

POSITION OF THE LEAGUE.

(Keceived 10.30 a.m.)

LOXDOX, March 10."I have never, in any conversation

with the German leaders, taken anyline but that -while I do not supposethat anyone in Britain is preparedto maintain the status quo in Europefor all time we are concerned to seethat no changes are made by vio-lence," declared the Foreign Secre-tary, Viscount Halifax, in the Houseof Lords.

"We are confronted to-day with aI fait accompli miparalleled in history.The world faces tTie ugly truth that inthe sphere of Tower politics force alonedecides.

"There is nothing to be gained at pre-sent by bringing the matter of Austriabefore the League of Nations. Nothingshort of war can put the clock back"Members of the League are not preparedto go to war on this issue.

League Powerless."The conclusion I reach is that theLeague, although it has a perfect legalright to interest itself in the question,cannot conceivably do anything at themoment which would compel Germanyto turn back from the course on whichshe has embarked. The British Govern-ment is, therefore, bound to recognisethat the Australian State has beenabolished as an international entity andis in process of absorption by the- Ger-man Reich.

We must doall in our power to strengthen theforces on the side of eettlino- inter-national difficulties by negotiationrather than by any other method.

"Wβ must aleo do everything to devisemeans by way of the League or in har-mony with League principles to directthe minds of nations as much as theremoval of injustice as to the mainten-ance of peace.

LONDON, March 16In Utc House of Commons the

Labour Leader, Mr. C. R. Attlee,moving an adjournment, drew atten-tion to the lack of Ministerial policyin countering the grave menace toBritish interests and security arisingfrom foreign intervention in Spain.

If the Prime Minister. Mr. Chamber-lain, believed it possibly to pot peaceby agreements with Heir Hitler andSignor Mussolini, based on a reliance oftheir pledge?, he had a rude awakening,he said.

While Mr. Chamberlain was talkingpeace to Herr von Kibbentrop themans had invaded Austria, and while theBritish-Italian conversations were pro-ceeding Signor Mussolini and his allieswere trying to consummate the conquestin Spain.

"Although Mr. Chamberlain had madea S|)i!iiish settlement a condition of theBritish-Italian agreement does any onedoubt, he asked, that Herr Hitler'sassistance in Spain is part of the priceof Mussolini's betrayal of Austria?"

No Time for Reproaches.Mr. Chamberlain said the situation

was too grave for reproaches andaccusations across the floor of the House.The intervention of certain Powers wasno new thing. It could not be saidthat Franco's new advance was due tothe accession of fresh forces and muni-tions. "I have no definite informationregarding a fresh accession," he said.

The British " Government had nevertaken the Opposition's view that aFranco victory would mean that Spainwould pass to the control of Italy andGermany.

"We intend to continue in close touchwith France. I believe we shall bestserve the cause of peace and freedom ifwe keep out of Spain and maintain apolicy of non-intervention and do notattempt to burn our fingers as othernations may well do." lie concluded.

Tile Austialian Associated Pressrepresentative says that as a sequel toMonday's debate in the House of Com-mons the opinion of Parliament appearsto be swinging toward Britain makinga stand with the League Powers toprevent further aggression.

The belief in diplomatic circles, how-ever, is that Germany, in view of herpreoccupations in reorganising and con-solidating Austria, will not imminentlyturn toward Czechoslovakia. This viewis shared in Czechoslovakia, where m»far there is no sign of apprehension.

The Berlin correspondent of the"Xews Chronicle"' says that self-govern-ment' for the Sudenten Germans and nopacts with Russia are the conditionswhich Germany will ultimately demandCzechoslovakia to accept. indeed, ifPrague offers to discuss the matter withGermany, she may immediately l»econfronted with them.

Germany is already sure of obtainingthe Sudenten territory, although shedoes not intend to take early action.

"The Times" Paris correspondent saysthat the Foreign Minister, M. Paul-Boneour, received the British Ambassa-dor, Sir Eric Phipps, and expressed fearsof early German aggression in Czecho-slovakia.

He reaffirmed most categoricallyFrance's determination to honour hertreaty obligations.

says that because of Canada's atti-tude, unless Britain and the otherDominions act resolutely, the pro-posed two trans-Pacific liners to com-pete with the Matson liners are likelyto founder before their keels are laiddown.

It appears that the Canadians, afteragreeing to the scheme as thrashed outin a discussion conducted simultaneouslywith the Imperial Cnferenee, havescuttled it. It is gathered that questionssuch as New Zealand's insistence thatone liner should be on New Zealandarticles have not created major diffi-culties.

It has lately becomeevident that in many aspects of Imperialaffairs there is an increasing hesitancyin associating Canada'* came with any-thing savouring of Imperial commitments,This is interpreted to mean a strengthen-ing of her isolationist tendencies.

United Frees Association.—Copyright.

(Received 12.30 p.m.)

LONDON, March Iβ.

In connection with Italy's navalbuilding, it was cabled last nightthat Britain in. 1941 will complete hercurrent naval programme, bringingher competent strength to about1,750,000 tons.

Italy's fleet will then comprise fourmodern 35,000-ton battleships, and fourolder reconstructed vessels, comparedwith nine modern British 35,000-tonnersand 13 older capital ships, most of whichhave been brought up to date.

Italy will have 19 modern cruisers,compared with Britain's 56, whileBritain will possess a numerical super-iority in destroyers, whose average ton-nage will considerably exceed the Italianflotillas. It is believed that Italy'ssubmarines will exceed those of Britain.

An earlier cable from Borne stated thatAdmiral Domenico Cavagnari, Secre-tary of the Marine Ministry, informedthe Chamber of Deputies that Italy waslaunching or laying down over 260,000tons of new warships. The aggregatetonnage of the Italian Navy by 1941would be:—Battleships, 240,000 tons;cruisers, 160,000 tons; light surface craft,190,000 tons; submarines, 100,000 tons.

PROGRESS MADE.

CENTENNIAL WORK.

ORGANISATION PLANS.GREAT ACTIVITY AHEAD.

"Most encouraging progress is beingmade with the work of the AucklandProvincial Centennial Committee,' , saidthe chairman of the committee. SirErnest Davis, in commenting to-day onthe beginning of the programme of acti-vity for 103S. Sir Ernest added thatthe organiastion work had now begunto function, and it was anticipated thatby next month all of the I~> metropoli-tan subcommittees would completetheir preliminary meetings, .elect theirchairmen, mid decide on a schedule ofmeeting dates to cover the balance ofthe year.

An important meeting of the provin-cial executive had been held last night,Sir Ernest continued, and to-night themetropolitan committee would hold itsmeeting. A period of great activity wasahead.

Arrangement of date schedules for theCentennial received .the consideration ofthe provincial executive when it met lastnight. It was decided to defer finaldetermination until tlfo information re-cently sought from the different com-mittees throughout the province was tohand.

\ It was erplained by Sir Ernest that hehad received copies of lists prepared bythe National Historical Committee, set-ting out dates which it considered mightbe made the subject of local Centennialcelebration. These had been distributedto the zoned areae in the AucklandProvince, with the explanation that theNational Committee wished each districtto select an event, or series of events, forlocal celebration in 1940.- It was desiredthat thereplies should be in the hands ofthe joint secretaries, Mr. K. L. Usmarand Mr. J. Melling, by April 16, in readi-ness for the meeting of the executive onApril 20. The secretaries, were instructedto circularise the zoned areas to thiseffect.

Need for Co-operation.Sir Ernest stated that the Under-secretary for Internal Affairs had im-

pressed on the zoned areas the need forco-operation and immediate attention,ae it was hoped that the Auckland pro-vincial centennial executive would beable to submit its tentative programmeto the National Centennial Committeeby March 1. So far the response hadbeen disappointing. It was not prac-ticable for the provincial executive toframe a tentative programme until re-plies had been received from the countrydistricts.

It was decided to endorse in principle,to the extent that it might b e practicablein experience, the recommendation fromthe Bay of Plenty zone that dates forlocal functions in centres throughout theprovince should be in rotation, in orderto facilitate the use of the same materialand equipment by different centres andto allow people to view more than onecelebration.

Decision was made to inform theHamilton Borough Council that the inter-vention of the municipal elections shouldnot be allowed to interfere with thedates fixed for meetings.

The publicity sub-committee was in-structed to report on the suggestion ofthe Tauranga committee that centennialservice bureaux should be opened in eachcentre to furnish information for visitorsto New Zealand.

'YANKEE DOODLE.'WAS IT BRITISH?

AMERICAN NATIONAL AIR.

MYSTERY OF CIVIL WAR DAYS

(By D.N.U.)"Yankee Doodle had a cat . .

."

So runs the familiar parody on whatie a national tune in the United States.

Who, if anyone, was Yankee Doodle?Or what? No one can say with cer-tainty, yet the word "Yankee," eyinbolicin the countries of the Empire of any-one or anything American, appeare tohave had little actual connection in itsorigin with the great confederation ofthe United States.

The term is commonly considered tobe a corruption of the word English, orthe French equivalent, Anglais. Othersclaim its derivation is from Jankin, theDutch for John, which was freelyapplied to the English colonists of Con-necticut by the Dutch eettlers of NewYork. The fact ie chronicled that asearly ae 1713 in Cambridge, Massa-chusetts, it was used to mean a. degreeof excellence, such as a Yankee goodhorse or Yankee fine beer.

Properly, we are assured, it means acitizen of the New England States ofMassachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire,Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut.By extension, however, chiefly in Euro-pean countries, it has come to indicatea native of the United Statee irrespec-tive of his State of domicile. Theauthority for its "proper" interpreta-tion declares that the MassachusettsIndians gave the name of Yenkees, orYenghees. to English colonists. Againthere is the belief that it is from theFrench Anglais, in which event it musthave originated in Canada, as onlyCanadian Indians had any connection•with the French.

Used m Repreacß.

British soldiers are said to have usedthe term about 1775 in reproach of NewEnglanders who later took it up in refer.

> ence to themselves. During the CivilWar southerners applied it in a deroga-tory sense to those of the northernStates.

But to get back to its -origin, we also• learn that the people of New Amster-dam, now New York, were called JanKees, a term used in Old Flanders topersons from Holland; that the Britishnamed New Englanders such during therevolutionary war (the eame New Eng-

; landers, incidentally, being largely ofBritish stock) and that Confederatesused it of Federals in the Civil War of1861-65.

To the New Zealander, or for thatmatter, anyone alienated from theUnited States, a Yankee usually is a

■ person from that country whether he' speaks with a quaint Texan ■ drawl, inthe nasal staccato of the Easterner or

. in the richly flowing cadences of theCalifornian. He may not need to callhis boots "high ehoes" and his shoes

1 "Oxfords," like "hotcakes" for his' breakfast, ride in "streetcars" or sportan "automobile" to identify him as anAmerican, but he is unquestionably a

> Yankee.Strangely enough, those who are most

prone to use the expression (which isnot good ueage) are the first to pointout politely that they are not English-men (Britishers, certainly), but Aus-tralians, South Africans or New Zea-landers as the case may be.

Even though the word has been attri-buted variously to the British, earliestAmericans, Dutch and the Indians bothof Canada and the United States, tocome from widely irrelevant sourcesand to have different interpretations,Yankee to this day retains a special andparticular significance within the Union.

Significance in U.S.Yankee, in short, means a native of

the New England States.Down in the southern States, Texas,

Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas and Ten-nessee, to mention but a few, it is moreinsulting to call an inhabitant a Yankeethan to outrage the propriety of San-Franciscans by calling their city'"Frieco." That is harking back to thedramatic and blood: drenched days ofthe famed Republican President AbrahamLincoln, but there are still hoary oldtimers who love to battle out the CivilWar again. North is north, and southis south . . a

Glorious days, they were, too. Dayswhen fife bands spurred on lean fighterswith stirring strains" of "YankeeDoodle" which was to become a nationalair.

Yankee Doodle appears to have had ageneral rather than an individual appli-cation, but like Yankee, the name whichinvests it with individuality, its genesisis unknown. The conception is plainenough, the origin as disputed as thatof the English National Anthem.

Probably the tune is Dutch, possiblyEnglish. It is claimed to come fromHolland, but it was known in Englandat the time of Charles IT. as "LydiaFisher's Jig," a nursery rhyme. Mostlikely the original words of "YankeeDoodle" were written at Albany in 1758.a year before James Wolfe defeatedMontcalm on the heights of Abraham.

Quaint Inspiration.At Albany there was a British force

under Lord Amherst opposed to a mixedforce of French Indians. The local, or"Yankee" recruits were uninspiring,gawky fellows, and are stated to have"inspired" the simple verses by theEnglish doctor attached to the staff,Richard Shuckburgh. At any rate thetune achieved its first real popularityin the Civil War, and. has beenbracketed in standing with "Hail.Columbia" and "Star Spangled Banner,"which likewise is attributed to anEnglish source.

Thus when an American, and all goodAmericans are intensely patriotic, raiseshis voice to the rhythm of "YankeeDoodle," who can tell about what hesings? Is he lauding the Frenchmenwho settled in a foreign land, is hetaking up arms unwittingly in the un-ending North v. South conflict, does here-echo an ancient Hollander jibe or aforgotten British sneer?

Who knows? But it is clear that inthe song he expresses a national senti-ment about the "New Englander fool."Which, after all, does seem an odd wayof being patriotic.

Phoebus is used by Homer as anepithet of Apollo, to signify the purityand radiant beauty of youth. At a laterperiod, *when Apollo became identifiedwith the sun (Helois), the name ofPhoebue was applied to him as the eun-god.

BANKRUPT'S DEBTS.j

WORK OF HALF LIFETIME.GREAT AMBITION REALISED.

Mr. Albert Edward Phipps, 50-year-old Leicester plumber, may have to gohack for his tools sometimes, but hejiloos not £0 back on his word. \Vhat-|ever else he h«s forgotten, he did not Iforget his debts.

An undischarged bankrupt in 1013.iMr. Phipps could have paid his creditorsa few shillings in the pound, but pre-

ferred to devote half his lifetime ill payins "ff the debts.

"So, I'm not made of that stuff," Mr.Phipps said at the shop lie now runs."I was young then, starting in business.F expected fair play ami was preparedto »ive it. But 1 was soon up to myneck in it.

"I could hove agreed to a. few shillingsill the pound, but I would rather havefaced poverty and hardship and returnthe money somehow than stoop to whatis pure dishonesty. But the task I setmyself was tremendous.

"I had a wife and children to bringlip. there was business worry and hard!times. The war came and more set-backs. But to pay my creditors becamemy life's ambition."

That ambition has been realised. j'•J have tried to be honourable. Xow|

it all ends happily. All my children are]happily married and I have a clear con-'science after 2.1 years."

The questionnaire was used as a meansof analysing the (success of the campfrom the point of view of the boys. Thefeeling towards the presence of girlsfor instance, wee toted by the query:Would you like to have girls in camrwith you?

Many other facts revealed in a summa ry of the answers were mo*t cnlighten ing. For instance, who would havebelieved, in these days when peopUceaselessly My there is too much striv-ing after cheap entertainment, that onh12 out of 70 boys missed the cinema?

COST OF LIVING.TREND IN DOMINION.

HIGHER TARIFF LEVELTAX REDUCTIONS URGED

A good trend under the recent tariffrevision in Xew Zealand, states theFederation of Drapers, Clothiers amiBoot Retailers in its trade journal, isthe preference shown towards Britain,but the heavy increases in duties onmanufactured goods from Australia,Canada and foreign countries is expectedto involve an increase in the prices ofmany imported lines.

"Goods from Australia. Canada andforeign countries must increase in pricewhen tariff charges are raised up -todouble the former duty," adds theFederation. "It may be possible thatby a greater output with the same plant,machinery and general overhead, NewZealand manufacturers can reduce unitproduction costa and be satisfied withthe additional income from increaeedsales, but so far as trans-Tasman goodsare replaced by others which are dearer,the change must lead to increased costsof. living."

Objections have been raised on bothsides of the Tasman to discriminatingtariffs within the Empire, it is stated,but against this Australia has had the.advantage of an exchange rate whichhas assisted her to undersell Britain,-and Canada has been assisted by hugeihveetments of American capital toestablish units of American companieswithiitKthe Empire, and so claim thebenefit .of British preferential rates.English manufacturers have objected tothis . .competition and declared . thatCanada'ha* been used as a "corridor"through' which goods made by UnitedStates enterprise enter Empire-countriesas British products.

Recognising that the balance of tradebetween Xew Zealand and Auetralia andXew Zealand and Canada hae becomelopsided in consequence of the protectivetariff policies of the two lntger Do-minions, the federation says: "If therevised tariff help* to "adjust ourunfavourable trade balances with Aus-tralia and Canada, and diverts some ofthat adverse trade to the United King-dom, where the balance is all in ourfavour, it will be productive of good forboth us and Britain, although in theorythe principle of discrimination betweenBritish communities may not beadvisable."

Commenting on the taxation and coetof living aspect, the federation pointsout that, while thej Government ie natur-ally ariXioue to keep down the cost of,living bo that the masses may enjjjy ,aehigh a standard ie . thieir , productiveefforts warrant; the purchasing power ofmoney must-fall when costs rise throughhigher wages, ehorter hours, heaviertaxes and increased; Custome duties. Itie stated that the amount raised by thesales tax as now over.double what wasoriginally expected from it, and as thiatax has a direct bearing on the cost ofliving, a reduction to half the presentrate would increase the buying " powerof the bay envelope. Similarly, areduction in the cat* of exchange wouldincrease the" purchasing power of thepeople atid provide the wage-earner withmore value for hie money.

HAWKE'S BAY SCHEME.*AMBITIOUS UNDERTAKING.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

the cause of all our troubles," declaredMr. R. W. H. Orbell, of South Canter-bury, in discussing the question of thedeterioration of New Zealand lamb atthe annual meeting of the New ZealandSheep Breeders' Association last night.

Mr. John Deans referred to the dangerof Australian lamb swamping the marketat New Zealand's expense. He said thatAustralia's output was being increasedconsiderably and that New Zealandwould have to fight strenuously to main-tain its supremacy in London. "Unlesswe raise the standard of our flocks byusing decent rams, we will lose veryheavily indeed," said Mr. Deans.

Mr. Orbell vigorously denied thatcountry people were to blame for thedeterioration of New Zealand'* lamb.He recalled the days when the cry wentthrough New Zealand to,>cut lip land, apolicy advocated by people in the townsand supported by noisy politicians. Thatwas the beginning, of the trouble. Whenthe land was fut ifj>rit was impossible toCarrjrs large flocks, and iirfcer-breedingdeveloped. "The' sooner the countryrealises that fanners know somethingabout; running land just ?as town peopleknow how to run.: their businesses thebetter," said Mr. Orbell.

A Voice* Wliat about the Government?Mr. Orbell: If they interfere too much

they will soon find out what is goingto. happen to tins country.

BIGGEST BUYER.

POVERTY BAY TRADE.

AUCKLAND DISSATISFIED.MORE RECIPROCITY NEEDED.

"We find to-day that the most impor-tant markets of Poverty Bay—apartfrom its oversea markets—are to befound in Auckland, and the Aucklandprovince, but I am informed that theposition ie not so satisfactory in regardto the goods that are required by thepeople of Poverty Bay, in that in recentyeare more and more goods are beingpurchased from centres that do not inreturn buy any great proportion of theproducts of Gieborne end the PovertyBay district," said Mr. W. R. Fee, past-president of the Auckland Chamber ofCommerce, at to-day's meeting of thecouncil of the chamber. Mr. Fee wasreporting on his recent goodwill visitto Gieborne.

"This tendency has been causing someconcern to the business interests ofAuckland," said Mr. Fee, "and it isdesired that the trading conditionswhich existed for so many years to ourmutual benefit should be restored, andthat if difficulties have arisen theyshould be overcome, as I feel they canbe.

Surplus Live Stock."It eeerns obvious that Poverty Bay

will continue to depend upon Aucklandand the province to purchase the greaterpart of its surplus live stock and otherproduce in the years to come, and I amsure the bueinees community of Pov-erty Bay appreciate the justice of theoft-repeated injunction' to 'lruy whereyou sell.'"

The preeent means of transport woreinadequate to enable* Auckland to holdits trade, and attention muet be paidyto the development of air and railservices.

Thero were already hopes of an earlystart of an air service between Gisborneand Auckland.

"The earlyconstruction of the Pokeno-Paeroa line will do much, not only toopen the gateway to the Bay of Plenty,but to bring Auckland in closer contactwith Gieborne," said Mr. Fee, who urgedthat an investigation be made as soonas poeeible to close the East Coast rail-way gap.

OBSOLETE BRIDGES.

POSITION IN THE NORTH.

HIGHWAYS BOARD VIEW

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

WHANGAREI, this day.In the course of a tour through North

Auckland members of the Main High-ways Board discuseed roading matterswith the Whangarei County Council andother interested local bodiee yesterday.Mr. A. J. Baker, deputy-chairman of the(board, commented on the changes which■had taken place since the 'board's lastvisit to North Auckland three years ago.In the North, where the standard ofroads was generally not as high as else-where, considerable expenditure wouldbe involved before the roads were up tothe desired standard.

Particular mention was made of thebridges in the North, which Mr. Bakerdeclared were obsolete and in need ofrenewal. Many were too narrow, in-sufficiently guarded and badly eituated.The taking over of highwaye by theState had involved the board in muchexpenditure, but at the same time hadrelieved local authorities to some extent.

When the question of . footpaths onState, highways was referred to him,Mr. Baker said that the board was pre-pared to grant subsidies to the localbodies concerned where it considered thework was warranted.

Where the traffic deneity was morethan 2500 cars per day it was the board's'policy to provide modern .lighting onState highwaye, continued Mr. Baker.Lighting for local neede outeide thesesections was a njatter for the localauthorities themselves. 1

Various matters concerning the Hiku-rangi township area were discussed withthe board. Regarding the concretebridge in the centre of the town, acknow-ledged ae being particularly dangerous,

I Mr. Baker eaid the matter wae beingi investigated, and consideration was beinggiven to the provision of funde on thisyear's estimates for removing thedanger.

"UNDER COVER."SECRET SERVICE MAN.

STARTLING TRAVELLER."THE ADMIRAL" TELLS ABOUT

IT.

He started it himself by coming in tosee the chief reporter nbout an exclusivestory that would stir the country. Whathe wanted was a reporter— a nk'p. brightreporter, if possible, to call on him athis hotel. Later on, the chief got an-other 'phone call for a reporter, followedby still another that said the spoak«rwould be ready for the interview as soonas he got out of his bath. So he gota reporter.

According to his story—and he -,tuekto it even though it bumped in places—he was a member of the reserve ofthe Ruritanian navy. For the sake ofdisguise he shall be called the admtrni,and, of course, there ia no Ruritaniannavy. Flush and free with loose silverin the early part of yesterday eftei-noon, the admiral, reclining in pyjama-clad luxury on his hotel bed, told .-oitu-thing of his remarkable experiences inand out of New Zealand, interruptinghis flow of talk only to call for furtlitTrefreshment.

When the reporter left him at 0.10p.m., after a series of extraordinary acl-venturee, vicarious and actual, the ad-miral was trying to persuade a bel'-boy that, in the absence of genuine New-Zealand currency, a "eo-many-frnncs"Ruritanian note was good exchanee forwhisky. But that is getting too farahead. The story really began thisway . . .

Secret Service Man."I nave had wonderful experiences

in New Zealand," eaid the admiral, "and1 have had kindnesses showered uponme that will make me the beet propa-gandist for thie country who has evercome out of Ruritanla. I can only add"God ble?e all New Zealanders!"

After delivering himself of <thia senti-ment he drank a healthy toaet to NewZealand, and informed the reporter that,as a secret service agent from Ruri-tania, and aleo as a man to whom eccen-tricity was a paesipn, he had decided toexplore. New Zealand as a true philoso-pher should—from the bottom upwards."Therefore," said the admiral, "eventhough I have an income of £550 a yearand even though I had £25 in my backpocket, I entered your beauteous coun-try as a stowaway."

How that little matter wae squaredoff i« secret service business, andS thischronicle must be reticent. Then, saidthe admiral, he etowed away on asouthern boat with the aid of "the crewand reached a place called X., wherethe crew parted from him with regTetsand 1/ to speed him on his way.

Shaved Without Soap.A few friends and an iron resolve,

said the admiral, kept him from the£25 ("Eenglieh monney, too") thatburdened him. He '.'thumbed" his waynorth by land to a place named Y.,secured a passage by boat on credit toa place named Z, where, after shading,hair-cutting and otherwise transform-ing himself into Continental splendour,he «pent two nights in the rooms of owell-known charitable hostelry. He,rehe met a most interesting Irishman,whose father used to ehave without soapor water. The old* fellow simply pulledhis whiskers out one after the other,starting at 7 a.m. and finishing atchurch time.

"And he told me that he himself usedto have four gold watehee—one in eachvest pocket," said the admiral, puttingdown his glass with a bang. "In myopinion, even though the old chap waebroke, he wouldn't have sold hie reminis-cences for all the wealth of Blank, theAmerican newspaper magnate—and Imean no disrespect to Mrs. Blank, whois the cleverest, daintiest and mostbeautiful wonian I have ever had thepleasure of being friendly with."

This Irishman, whose name, strangelyenough, was Mike, had- a lot of otherstories, too. "There was the oneabout—" But that in another yarn,"said the admiral, "which you can getfrom me again."

Naval Unit Arrives.Fortunately, at Z, a Kuritanian naval

unit arrived and he had to leave hislowly lodging and go aboard. "On per-sonal business," said the admiral, wink-ing prodigiously and giving the high-eign of secrecy. "We secret servicepeople have to be careful about whatgets into the Press."

He had then flown northwards by'pliinc, arriving in Auckland in time tomeet many old friends, all of whom,strangely enough, were visitors, of note Iand many dignitaries. Then, said theadmiral, after performing many otherofficial duties in Auckland, he wasseized with the idea of exploring themysteries of mental hospitals. There-fore he assumed (intentionally, ofcourse, and not voluntarily) all thesymptoms of delirium tremens, wasarrested for chasing imaginary snakes,appeared before the magistrate and wassent to mental hospital for a week. Itis a remarkable tribute to the foresightof Ruritaninn secret service operativesthat the admiral was able to foretellwith exactitude just what would hap-pen to him and where he would go.

"A Hundred Years Ahead.""1 had a wonderful timo ti.ere," he

said. "During the eight days I was inI was showered with kindm-ss nnd hadmarvellous attention. It proved to methat the mental hospitals of Xew Zea-land are at least 200 years ahead ofRuritania." Then the admiral n'hVet-jd."No. Hay a hundred years nlicad ofEurope,, ' he corrected, wiping off a cen-tury with the ease of a Don Briidman.

Just then drama came upon the scene.A knock at the bedroom door heraldedthe entrance of the proprietor r,f thehotel, who asked politely t!:nt theadmiral should give up his room light,then and there. Witli Continental stuiv-ity the Rtiritanian seafarer stood toattention and in "pistols-for-t.wo-und-coffee-for-one" voice said he vonldoblige. The reporter, as is the way ofreporters, said nothing.

"I shall go to the Blank Hot-.l in-stead," said the admiral, climbing intohie underclothes. "This is unbearable.Or perhaps I shall go to the ClinkHotel," he added in a voice that I- . t ereporter to believe that a lower in, >'.iwould be preferable.

A few minutes sufficed to niak" hi-na dapper nian-about-town, a taxi \v'-tahired, n few cold words wei'e sai'i andthe reporter and hie secret .service fru-ndleft for other quartern, arriving even-tually (it a hostelry that would wtfl"OMi?a Ruritaiiin.ii in mi acceptable »:iner.After paying his hotel bill and-cub-r----ing the iisiiiil two to be sent up on ntray, the udiiiinil discovered with .i atnri'that the tHxi was still waiting. Ahaety search for funds revt-.ilctl theRuritanian finances to be aixpenr.e be-low the required amount. Retaining his

iron resolve not to break into the £25 inthe back pocket, the admiral borrowedthe necessary sixpence from the reporterwho was caught in a weak moment, aidall was well.

More Adventures.In this new room many other adven-tures were recounted. It was in*erect-

ing to learn that the admiral had metHis Holiness Pope Pius XL ina'iy time?,had had audience with Mussolini, andwas on friendly terms with jx-Prip-eMinisters, of European countries. Then,too, what a surprise to learn from asecret service operative that Hitler hodbeen, in the pay of the French spy ser-vice for many years, that there" v.eiemany Greek spies in Auckland, thntsauerkraut was excellent for the com-plexion and that all news[should be married. The admiral linosucceeded in getting refreshment with »

foreign note."Must you go?" he said as the re-

porter remembered an important er -.gasr-inent. "Well, don't write me up t'!l1 leave New Zealand in a fortnight."

"Righto," said the reporter. Import-ers are like that—tough but obliging.

"But now I coine to think of it,'" saidthe admiral, weakening visibly. "Youcan write me up to-morrow. \jy storyis too good to wait."

"Too right it is," said the reporter.And here it is.

"I think it is advisable to wait untilwe receive a copy of the bill before wediscuss it fully," said the chairman, Mr.F. C. Pace, when he referred to theEducation Amendment Bill at the quar-terly meeting of the Auckland SchoolCommittees' Association last night.

"It is proposed that school com-mittees, as constituted, should continueas school councils," Mr. Pace added."There is one thing I am very sorry tosee, and that is that in all these discus-sions the Government has not seen fit toadd to their committees representativesof the school committees. I think weshould make our voice heard in nouncertain manner."

A Delegate: We've pot school committee members in the Government.

DANGEROUS DRIVING.

YOUNG MAN FINED.

"LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY."

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)WAIHI, this day

In the Magistrate's Court yesterdaycharges of dangerous driving on theWaihi Beach Road and also on theWaihi-Paeroa main highway at the NewYear were, preferred against a youngman, William Niehol, of Morrinsville.Nichol did not appear, but sent a letteradmitting: the charges.

Inspector Morrow, of the TransportDepartment, said that the offence on themain highway consisted of defendantdriving round the corner at a dangerousspeed. Witness had to travel at a greatrate to overtake him. He sounded hissiren mid Niehol pulled up.

Constable Parker and another witnesssaid the other offence occurred on NewYear's Night at the beach. Defendantwas driving down through the townshipfrom a dance hall at from 50 to 60 milesan hour. The road was lined withpeople, and defendant's speed made himan absolute menace.

Inspector Morrow said that Nicholhad since disposed of his motor car.

"These two escapades show a lack ofresponsibility so far as driving is con-cerned," said Mr. F. H. Levien, S.M.

Defendant was fined £4. His licensewas also endorsed and cancelled, and the"magistrate instructed that no renewalshould be granted for two months.

UP-HELLY-AA.

Amongst the many remarkable sur-vivals of medieval folk-lore and ancientcustoms in Britain there k none to rivalthe magnificent spectacle of Up-Helly-Aaat Lerwick, in the remote ShetlandInlands, on the last Tuesday in January.The celebrations (writes Sidney Moor-horise in "Great Thoughts") consistmainly of escorting a reptfea of a Xor=egalley through the main street* in thelittle town and then burning it on anopen space on the sea shore, a ceremonywhich ie believed to date back to thefuneral rites of £he Viking chiefs of oldwhose Corpses were placed in a blazinggallev and sent out acrose the seas in thebelief that they would find a way toValhalla. That such a unique festivalehould have lingered in the ShetlandIslands for all these centuries ie due tothe strong Xorse blood that flowsthrough the veins of the islanders, whosefishermen still inherit much of the valourof the old Viking sea rovers. Up-Helly-Aa festival fe actually a survival of theold Xorse Yule Feast. This was knownan the "Yolabod," or "feast of fire," andlaeted for some 24 days, commencing onJanuary 5 and concluding with greatcelebrations on the 29th.

ST. JAMES' "TOPPER."

THORNE SMITH ON SCREEN.

Made solely to amuse, and accordingto all accounts eueceeding remarkably,the screen version of Tliorne Smith's"Topper" will have its initial Aucklandscreenings at St. James' Theatre to-mor-row. Xovelty is the key-note of"Topper." It has a frankly fantasticstory, and there is also a typical 'i'horneiSmitii disregard tor such commonplacefinalities as time, life and death. Furtherevidence of good comedy is provided inthe credits, for "Topper" is a Hal Roachproduction.

"Topper," the henpecked banker, is apart tailored to order for Roland Young,and the romantic vein eventuates througnConstance Bennett and Cary Grant.Others prominent are Billie Burke, J.Farrell MacDonald, Eugene Pallette andArthur Lake.

TWO ELECTROCUTED

WIRE FENCE "ALIVE.,,

QUEENSLAND TRAGEDY.WOMAN AND CHILD'S FATE.

SYDNEY, March 12.A little girl and her aunt were elec-

trocuted and the youngster's mothernarrowly escaped a similar fate at Ingham (North Queensland) when aii elec-tric earth wire sent 240 volts coursingthrough a wire fence dividing twohouses.

Mrs. Margaret Bailey, 37, and Bever-ley Joyce Thomson, aged two yeais andeight months, were dead, and Mrs.Thomson, who also came in contact withthe live wire, was in a state of collapsewhen the current was switched off.

Mrs. Bailey lost her life when shemade heroic efforts to drag the childaway from the death-wire, and Mrs.Thomson, attempting then to pull bothclear, was flung backwards by the cur-rent.

How the earth-wire came to foul thefence is a mystery, which police werestill trying to solve.

Mrs. Thomson and her daughter,whose home is at Winton (NorthQueensland), were holidaying at Mrs.Bailey's residence for three weeks.

Both women were talking together inthe house when they heard the chil: lscream.

Rushing into the yard, they saw tin,mite, with her body twitching, lyiug onthe bottom of the wire fence, which hasthree strands.

Both women realised that the fencehad been electrified. Mrs. Bailey wasfirst to reach the scene. Unhesitating,she pluckily took hold of the child andtried <to drag her to safety.

Hurled Away.As the current coursed through her

own body. Mrs. Bailey screamed, and..still gripping her niece, fell across thewire.

By that time Mrs. Thomson had ar-rived at the fence. When she seizelher sister and baby, the voltage hurledher away, otherwise she also would havebeen electrocuted.

In response to Mrs. ThoirsonVscreams for help, neighbours went lo tliespot, and the current was turned off.

Attempts to resuscitate Mrs. Baileyand her niece were fruitless, and deathwas pronounced. Mrs. Thomson, hysterical at the sudden loss of her babyand sister, and also suffering from th?effects of the electric shock she received,was given medical attention.

The girl had been playing in the yarc\and was apparently climbing over thebottom wire, when she was electrocutes.

Ingham police said that they had lutdiscovered how the electric wire cameto be on the fence, but that they havelittle doubt that the tragedy was acci-dental. "We have not yet completedour inquiries," the officer stated.

He added that it was not believed thatthe child herself had unearthed tbv wilt,which was used for the electric lightingsupply in the Bailey home.

JUDGMENT RESERVED.

APPEAL COURT CASE.

VALUE OF A PROPERTY.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

WELLINGTOX, WednesdayJudgment has been reserved by the

Appeal Court in the case in which thequestion as to the estimation by a

mortgagee of the value of a propertywhich he seeke to sell through thuRegistrar of the Supreme Court undeithe Land Transfer Act, 1915, is raised.

The case is that of the WellingtonCity Corporation against the Govern-ment Insurance Commissioner. Thelatter, as the mortgagee of the land iiiWellington, had applied to the Regis-trar of the Supreme £'durt to conducta sale of that land, and had estimatedits value at £12,000. Apart from cer-tain special rates due to the corpora-tion, money, secured by mortgage tothe Government Insurance Commis-sioner was a first charge on the land,and approximately £1400, due to thecorporation for general rates, consti-tuted the second charge.

For the corporation it was contendedthat the £12.000 estimated by the Com-missioner wae less than the reasonablevalue of the land, and that the mort-gagee was required by statute to esti-mate the land at its reasonable value.

Mr. K. E. Harding, who appeared forthe Government Insurance Commis-sioner, submitted that a mortgasee.when selling the mortgaged, propertythrough the Registrar of the SupremeCourt, has absolute unfettered discre-tion in estimating the value of the landfor that purpose. This' discretionenabled the mortgagee to make an arbi-trary estimate and without any refer-enc" to the value of the land.

(Special.—By Air Mail.)

LONDON, February 25.A woman who threw up a good living,

ran away with a married man, andlived a "reckless, crazy life," wasrevealed at Williton, near Watehet, asa daughter of Joseph Hocking.

Her father, who died a year ago, aged76, was famous as a Nonconformistpreacher who turned novelist. Someof his books, particularly "The ScarletWoman," brought him severe criticismfrom Free Church people.

His daughter, Mrs. Alison Johnson,appeared in Court at Williton in thename of A. Duff Arnott, accused withlan Duff Arnott, of obtaining moneyfrom Herbert Bere, of the Blue AnchorHotel, Old Cleeve.

STATE SCHEME.

BUTTER PATTING.

AUCKLAND PLANT.

OPERATIONS BEGUN. "

A new State enterprise has begunoperations in Auckland during the pastweek—butter patting. The Governmentplant in the Farmers' Freezing Com-pany's buildings, Quay Street, is nowpatting all the butter for one distribut-ing firm and part of the requirementsof two others. The present premises aretemporary, and will be expanded asrequired by the industry, according tothe Government's plans.

It is proposed to pat butter in caseswhere this cannot be done convenientlyand economically by supplying factories.Butter will be received in bulk fromthe "factories and made up in lib patsready to be retailed.

Government Regulations.Under the new butter marketing

regulations wholesale distributing firmsare not permitted to pat their ownbutter us they have done in the past.Only dairy factories and tin- Govern-ment are allowed to do any putting.

The expressed object of the schemeis to eliminate patting done by small(inns under unsuitable conditions. TheState aims to provide an efficient ser-vice using the most. ufi-to-<late andhygienic methods. It is claimed that inthe pa«t wasteful methods have Iteenfollowed, and the keeping quality ofthe butter impaired.

Merchants Sceptical.Butter merchants, are critical of the

(Government's scheme and sceptical aboutj its chances of providing a more efficientj and economical service than that which

I it is intended to supersede. As yet the1 plant used is, small ami unable to copewith any great quantity of butter.

One distributor considered that theestablishment of the plant was onlyanother step towards making the whole-sale distribution of butter a Statemonopoly. Already, he said, progress

jhad been made in that direction byj introducing regulations which had elimin-ated butter merchants' profits. Six smallfirms had been forced oiit of the trade,leaving only those with a comparativelylarge turnover, about half the numberthat were previously operating.

Brand Regulations.A further development of the Govern-

ment's policy in controlling the localbutter market is to take effect fromthe end of this month. All brandsexcept factory brands, and one brandfor each distributor are to be eliminated.Retailers' -brands are not to be allowed,and wholesalers are not to have theopportunity of "creating their own com-petition"' by putting out a multiplicityof brands, as they have been able todo in the past. In addition, second-gradebutter ia to be clearly marked second

STUDENT CHARGED.

MURDER ALLEGED.

DEATH OF PANTRY BOY.

WOMEN LEAVE COURT.

(By Air Mail.—Special Representative.)

LOXDOX, Feb. 23.

Every woman left the Court when thehearing was opened at Oxford of a mur-der charge against a theological «tudcut.

The student, Stanley Phillips (21), eonof a Woking clergyman, is accused ofmurdering Harold Matthews, ltf-year-old pantry boy at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford.

The women left at the suggestion ofthe presiding magistrate (Mr. H. O.Rogers), who said it was his duty topoint out that details which they wouldnot appreciate would be mentioned.

Phillips was formerly an undergra-duate at Selwyn College, Cambridge, andtook his B.A. degree last summer, later

going to Oxford to study for HolyOrders.

Matthews' naked body was found onthe roof of Wycliffe Hall, where he hadbeen employed for two years.

His father and mother sat at theback of the court, and a number ofstudents were in the public callery.

Mr. CJ. R. Paling, prosecuting, said no-body, other than hi* assailant, saw Mat-thews alive after 1'2.1."> p.m. on February■">. when he answered the telephone atWyeliffe Hall.

! The follo'wing morning a student atthe college searched the roof and fotflidthe l)oy's body naked and lying in someguttering between a wall and a gable.

Dr. Webster found that death was dueto asphyxiation caused by strangulationwith a ligature. Similar ligature Marksindicated that the boy had been *ied up.In the doctor's opinion cuts found onthe body were inflicted after death.

i Mr. Paling said that it would appearprobable that the boy was knocked outby violence and that after death hisclothes were stripped from him. '

When told of the boy's death, addedMr. Paling. Phillips stated: "I had bet-ter confess. I am guilty."

Soon afterwards Phillips told the chiefconstable. Mr. Charles R. Fox: '"Thereare things which you have put.downwhich I have said and which are untrueand I cannot sign it."'

Later, he declared: "... I am guilty.Xo one assisted me and it was not pre-meditated. ... I did it about 12.30 yee-terday. when I returned from the poetoffice."

Phillips watched closely various gar-ments put in as exhibits and appeared tobe writiii«; down almost every detail ofthe evidence. He was remanded in cus-tody and further evidence will be heardlater.

CRIME INSTIGATORCONVICTED BUTCHER.

"SENTENCE DESERVED."

EHPLOTEE DOMINATED.

SYDNEY, Ma-.chJames Clyde Hall, -who was said in

have assets worth at least £17.0*0 findtakings of £130 a week from « I'cn-rith butchery. was described bv theChief Justice (Sir Frederick ■ jidaii) s-.''not only a criminal but an i i.-'ip.torof crime.'.

It would be ludicrous to to Hallthe first offenders' provisions ;>f theCrimes Act. and the sentence t-f tim-oyears imposed on him for cattle-steal-ing was "richly deserved." said :Ik. ChiefJustice, who was presiding over tneCourt of Criminal Appeals.

Acting Judge McGhie. who n?.--edsentence on Hall at Parramatta last De-cember, reported to the Court that Hj-.11,in his opinion, was a dangerous ciini-inal, in that, knowing he was bringwatched and was under suspicion, ho in-duced an employee to steal the cat lip.

This employee was obviously underthe domination of Hall and another em-ployee was influenced by Hall to givefalse evidence in his favour, said JudgeMcGhie.

'"The penalty for the offence forwhich Hall had been convicted avss 10years" penal servitude/' said the ChiefJustice.

The facts show that he wa.? a. com-paratively wealthy man of motureyears, and that he instigated an em-ployee of Ids •to steal his neighbour'scattle, in order that he might siaujhverand sell them for his own profit.

"The crime was carefully planned anddeliberately carried out. It was a seri-ous and dangerous crime.'.

The Chief Justice then dism-ssfxi theappeal. ,

MEN'S HEADS SWELLING.

Men's heads are increasing in size,but they are carrying less weight onthem. This in disclosed in statisticscompiled by Mr. L. C. Fincher. a Londonhat expert'. Since the Great War theaverage bet eold in London hasincreasedby two eizee, while the average weighthas dropped from nearly Boz to 4oe.Very popular to-day are sports felthats weighing only 2±oz. They con-trast with the poor sale of heavy bow-lers weighing 7Joz—the heaviest hatmade to-day. Part of the increase insize i* due to the habit—a. relic of tin-hatted war days—of wearing headgearfurther down on the head. Sales oftop hats, probably due to the Corona-tion, roee slightly la<st year, while ofevery 100 bets sold in fashionable shopsthree are opera hats.

LONDON'S WEEK.CRISIS ENDS TAMELY.

HITLER AND THE PRESS.

ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ?

(From Our Own Correspondent.)LONDON, February 25.

The Eden crisis threw an interestingsidelight on the difficulty of predictingpolitical reactions in England. Whenthe Foreign Secretary resigned evenastute politicians with years of experi-ence felt certain that his departurewould cause a serious split in the Con-servative ranks. It its said that Mr.Chamberlain himself feared that severalother members o£ his Cabinet mightdesert him.

Yet in the result, when The big debatecame two days later, only one Conserva-tive M.P. voted against his Premier aiidonly 14 showed their support of Air.Eden by refraining from voting at all.Thus tamely did the great crisis end;how gravely it loomed at first may begathered from the well-authenticatedrumours that Mr. Chamberlain had evenconsidered asking Karl Baldwin to takethe helm again and reunite the Miiiist-try.

Rumoured Attempts on Hitler.Among the "foreign Prow lies'' which

Hitler denounced with such scorn thisweek were rumours of attempts toassassinate him. Nevertheless, theserumours still come trickling through—always, of course, without confirmation.Since practically every other dictator,from Lenin to Mussolini, has had hislife attempted, there may well be sometruth in the Hitler rumours.

One of the latest declares that theNazi leader was fired upon by the 16-year-old daughter of General Schleicher,who was shot dead in the "purge" of1934. The girl, it is said, missed Hitler,but killed his chauffeur. She wasarrested and shot almost immediately.This much is certainly true: that theFuehrer's chauffeur recently died andHitler attended his funeral; but thecause of death wae ollieially given as"internal trouble."

Poorer Millionaires.Britain has more millionaires than

ever before, but they are not ae richas they used to be. An income of only£30,000 a year is enough to rank aman as a millionaire in the officialreturns, and 800 people now fall intothat class. That does not mean thateach of them lias £1.000.00(1, but theyare ranked as "millionaires', becausethat is the capital they would have toown in order to draw a safe £30,000a year.

Actually most of these big incomesare probably earned in business ortrade. One or two of the most success-ful lawyers and doctors may count asmillionaires on this basie. A few yearsago, when 5 per cent was a safe andmodest return on capital, a men wasnot reckoned a millionaire unless he hadat least £50.000 a year. The millionaireof to-day, after he has paid income-tax and "surtax, lias less than £20,000to spend.

Outlawry Outlawed.Parliament will shortly be asked to

pass a bill deleting one word from MagnaCarta, the corner-stone of British liber-ties ii}f 700 years. The word is,sDtit-lawed'i? and witn it will go a curioueanomaly which has lingered on into thepresent day. In Scotland the law stillallows a fugitive from justice to be out-lawed, which in former times meant thatanyone could kill him at eight.

To-day outlawry merely means that aman is deprived of his rights in a Courtof la.w, and yet remains liable to actionagainst himself. As recently ns sevenyears ago a Russian who did not turnup to face a charge of fraud at Glasgowwas declared an outlaw. Other outlawsof recent years were an absconding seacaptain and an accountant who failed tosurrender to his bail. Now the wholemachinery of Parliament will be set inmotion to strike this one word from theStatute Book.

Radio Interference.The problem of countering hostile

radio propaganda is worrying more thanone nation, and various ways have beenadopted to minimise its effect. Merelyto talk back does not suit everybody."Interference,, is a common feature ofsuch broadcasts.

When Hitler broadcast recently hisspeech wae heard clearly in Kngland forthe first two hours, while he was shak-ing of internal affairs. When he turnedto foreign policy, reception deterioratedand continued had until he finished. Thespeaker who followed came over well.Was this deliberate jamming? One lis-tener described the background noisesas resembling those made by a door,with rusty hinges, being pushed to andfro.

Interference is difficult to trace to itssource, though in at least two instancesexperts claim to have located the originof the trouble, and have guessed at themeans employed to create the discord.Moscow, it was alleged, used a distortedgramophone record of "Kaniona." whilea continuous gear-changing sound wasatttributed to Rome.

"By Royal Appointment."Shopkeepers who have enjoyed Royalpatronage and aspire to the right to dis-

play the Royal Arms over their shopswere a little perturbed by a recentannouncement of the Keener of thePrivy Purse that regulation's regardingthe issue of the Royal warrants were ,being tightened up. Henceforth therewill be a qualifying period of three yearsin the new reign before the privilege isgranted. =

By long-established custom warrantsgranted by the Prince of Wales automa-tically became the King's on his acces-sion. The King, as Duke of York,granted no warrants, and it is his inten-tion to confine the number at first tono more than twentv-five.

Some of the. "By Appointment" siirnsexhibited by shopkeepers in Londonhave no significance except as historicalrelics, perhaps as reminders of monar-chies that no longer exist. A famouswatchmaker still displays the ImperialRussian coat of arms and that of theKing of Portugal.

Mint Does Not Make Only Money-Ever since the accession of Kino-

Edward VIII. the Mint has been work-ing overtime. New dies were struck,for the Dominions as well as for theHome Country, and then scrapped at theAbdication. King George VI. coinagefollowed, and then the Coronationmedals. The new threepenny pieceentailed much extra work. Over 800men are working at the Mint to-daycompared with 4~iS at the end of 193.-).

But the Mint does not make onlymoney. For some time it lias beenmanufacturing fine woijrhkljj machinesand other delicate instruments used incertain departments of armament work.Where minute accuracy is necessary, asin the apparatus used tn measure theingredients of cartridges, the Mint plantis particularly suitable.

SCHOONER STOLEN.

"SECRET GETAWAY."

BUCHANEER VOYAGE.« CAPTAIN " DISAPPEARS.

SYDNEY, March 12.The 20-ton auxiliary schooner Wind-

ward was stolen from her moorings inRushcutters Bay last Wednesday, • ;

Later in the morning she was sighted,anchored off Shark Island, a mile away,with no sails and out of petroL

It was as far as she had travelled ona buccaneering voyage to New Zealand.

The "captain" was missing.The three members of the crew

learned that they had been duped, andwere thankful that they had not reached"blue water."

Two of them, Percy Jones, 30. and EricTempleton, 23, live in a residential inYurong Street, Sydney.

Jobs Guaranteed."1 overheard the 'captain,' who had

come to stay there, telling the managerof the residential that he wanted, a-yacht's crew to sail to N'?w Zealand,"■said Jones.

"He said that jobs would be guaran-teed the crew on reaching New Zealand.

"I am out of a job, so I volunteered."Templeton then took up_ the story."I asked Jones to put in a word for

me," he said."I interviewed the 'captain,' and he

told me I would be suitable, so long asI didn't get seaside, and could give hima cash bond of £10.

"I, too, am unemployed. My fatherwrote out a cheque for £10, and the'captain' cashed it.

"He took £3 'for a cable,, and gaveme £7, with instructions to buy store*later.

"He told us that the yacht was theAo-te-a-Roa, of which he fwas part-owner, with the Union Steam Ship Com-pany.

"The yacht, we were informed, hadstored 40 gallons of petrol and food for21 davs.

"He explained that we would have tomake • a secret night getaway as theyacht was not cleared by the portauthorities.

On Wednesday afternoon he sent meto buy more stores, including freshmeat, bread, and a five-gallon keg ofbeer.

"Jones was sent to get hacksaw andpick up the third member of the crew,Randall Grant.

"The 'captain, and I went by launchto tow the Ao-te-a-Roa from her moor-ings to Woolloomooloo.

"Voyage" Begins."Imagine my astonishment when I

saw the 'captain' cut the awnings fromthe boom, instead of untying them, andsever the mooring cable with a hack-saw.

"We called at Clark Island for freshwater, but there was a launch at thewharf, so we sheered off at the 'cap-tain's' orders.

"Near Shark Island the enginestopped, and the 'captain' said therewas no petrol—someone must havebungled the arrangements.

"While waiting for dawn, he invitedus to help ourselves at the cocktail bar."4$ daybreak, heigJiailed a passingfishing launch and clTinbed on board."My suspicions' had been well aroueed,

and I leaped into the boat,.too."On reaching the quay, he ordered me

to go directly to Wynyard Station andwait for him.

"I telephoned the police."Afterwards they told me that the

yacht was not built for a Tasman cross-ing, and we would never have got there.

"After all, the 'captain' got only £3of my father's £10. although I wastedmost of the remainder in useless stores."

Detective-Sergeant Miller, SergeantHoiby, and Detective Dunning wereunable to trace the "captain."

The only damage to the Windwardwas some splintered woodwork andscratched paint.

The ship is owned by Mr. ,T. M. Hardie,member of a city firm of accountants.

CAR PARKING.

UNLICENSED ATTENDANTS

A plea that the by-law took awav hisliving was made by W. Williams." whoadmitted to Mr. C. R. Orr Walker.S.M.. that, being unlicensed, he hadacted as a car-parking attendant in Fer-guson Street at the back of the CivicTheatre in December.

He explained that the by-law pro-hibited an unlicensed attendant fromasking for or receiving money, and italso prohibited a licensed attendant fromaccepting gratuities. He had applied fora license, but had been unable to getanyone to employ him as an attendant.He had been informed that the theatre,owners had decided not to emplovattendants for parked cars, and theAutomobile Association had withdrawnits employment of attendants. Defen-dant said he didn't ask for, hut didaccept contributions, and he kept a con-stant watch on the cars.

BUOYANT TRAFFIC.RECORD ON RAILWAYS

EFFECT OF RISING COSTS.COMMENT BY MR. MACKLEY.

"Traffic on the railways has neverbeen more buoyant than it is to-day,and our earlier anticipations that wewould attain a record tonnage and arecord revenue for the financial yearare certain to be fulfilled," said theUeneral .Manager of Uailwaya, Mr. O.It, Mackley, when interviewed prior tohis flejuii-ture for Wellington.

Mr. Miickley remarked that theDepartment was exceptionallyand the net returns for the, year wouTdexceed the Budget estimate of £700,000.In the amount of business handled andthe results the year was reminiscent ofl!)20-,'!(l, when the previous peak turn-over was recorded and net profits reached£D27,2.-,7.

In explanation of the comparativedecrease in net revenue, he said therailways were experiencing the effectsnf rising coats, which wore not peculiarto New Zealand, but were world-wide.A sharp inerea.se in the cost of labourand materials had been experienced l>ythe railways in Britain during the pastyear, and the position in New Zealandwas similar. Besides increased wages,the Department had to moot the rise inprices of materials purchased from over-sens, higher prices for fuel and cor-respond inn: advances in other incidentalcosts. This upward trend in expenditurewas a factor not so apparent in 1929-30.

The improvement recorded hart beenentirely duo to the expansion of rail-way business, added Mr. Markley, andwas in no way inflated by the takingover of competitive poods services, noneof which was yet being operated bythe Department.

PANEL DOCTORS.REVOLT AGAINST B.M.A.

OPPOSITION TO LEVY.RIVAL CIRCULAR* ISSUED.

(epeelal.—By Air Mail.)

LONDON, February 25.The tocsin has been sounded for the

revolt of panel doctors against theBritish Medical Association.

The reason is a circular suggesting a£15,000 levy, issued to panel practi-tioners in the London aree on behalf ofthe Insurance Aots Committee of theB.M.A, by the London Panel Committee.

It asks doctors to deduct Jd perpatient from their yearly panel pay-ments as a contribution to the NationalInsurance Defence Trust for propagandapurposes.

The Medical Practitioners* Union—arival body to the B.M.A.—has oounteredwith a circular advising doctors not tocontribute.

Referring t* the recent failure of theB.M.A, Insurance Acts Committee tosecure an increase in the pay of panel

limited to 9/ per patient—the union says: "You are advised not tocontribute. . . . After the failure of1937 you are now asked to contributeto a propaganda effort on the part* ofthe B.M.A.4 aM ch propaganda not to beconfined to the intereets of insurancepractitioners. . , ,"We are unable to find that any othersection of the profession m to add itsquota to. this advertising scheme as pro-pounded by the B.M.A. Why Jβ theinsurance practitioner alwaya the milch-

''lJxtracttng money from tie insurancePrtfCStitioner to create a medicalautocracy, by advertisement is not onethat should appeal to thoee desirous ofunfolding the honour and dignity of themedical profession."The proposed levy woujd bring inabout £15,000 if all doctors in the coun-try agreed to it.Last autumn the B.M.A. agreed to setup a propaganda fund to be financedIrom association funde and by thetrustees of the National Insurance De-fence Trust, which administers £243,Q0Q.Nα figures have been published so faras tq the income and. expenditureof thisfund.The B.M.A. tea voluntary organisa-tion of doctors embracing approximately

two-thirds of the profession. '

The Medical Practitioners' Union is abody concerned primarily with the inter,este of the $0,000 panel doctors.

STRUCK ON HEAD.FALLING COCONUT.

YOUNG SAMOAN KILLED.MANY CRIMES AND MISHAPS

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

APIA, March 3.There has been an epidemic of acci-

dents and crimes during recent weeks.In the Aleipata district, at the east-

ern end of the island of Upolu, a 10-year-old Samoan boy, Palavale, was ridingwith his brother on the main beach roadwhen their horses shied. Palavalestruck his head on the road and diedin hospital.

A day later, in the same district, anine-year-old Samoan boy, Falao, waswalking home from school when he wasstruck on the head by a falling coconut.He was killed. It is extremely rare forfalling coconuts to cause injury.

A Samoan, Sufia of Manase, went outto the reef to fish with gelignite. Whenholding a strong charge there was apremature explosion which shattered hishand and tore part of hie face away.The unfortunate fisherman died a fewhours later.

Leg Amputated.When a motor truck was returning

from Aleisa land settlement on Febru-ary 20 with a number of young boysand girls sitting on the back, it strucka tree stump off the road and crushed thelegs of the young passengers. A 17-year-old Samoan girl, Ruby McCarthy,was seriously hurt, and when taken toApia Hospital had'one leg amputatedabove the knee.

Recently a case of arson with ratherunusual features was heard in the HigrhCourt of Apia. A young girl ofSaleaamua, Aleipata, eloped with ayoung boy of the same village, the sonof the Chief Laulu. The girl's familystrongly objected to this elopement.

While the girl's father deliberatedwith other village chiefs on the matter,his son, with three friende armed withknives, and axes, went out to takerevenge on the family of Chief Lauhi.The boys proceeded to set fire to twohouses belonging to Laulu. and were onlyprevented from doing further damajre bythe intervention of a Catholic priest,who persuaded them to lay down theirarms and extinguish the fire. One ofthe houses, however, was totally dos-troyed. while the other was partlyburned. r

The four accused pleaded guilty andthe chief offender, Tui, was sentencedto one year in gaol, the other threereceiving, sentences of six and fourmonths' imprisonment respectively.

Seriously Wounded.The village of Saleimoa, 10 miles west

of Apia, which had been the scene ofdisturbances several months ago, whenvillagers tried to evict a family, wasagain the scene of a serious affray be-tween the same rival fractions on Febru-ary 20. In the fight stones, sticks.knives and axes were freely used, withthe result that a large number of peoplewere seriously wounded by knife thrustsand stones, and had to' be treated atApia Hospital for their injuries. FiveSamoans, among them two girls fhjuredbT flyinjr stones, were kept in hospitalfor treatment.

A detachment of police from Apia,called to the scene by telephone, arrivedquickJy and soon restored order. EightSamoans were arrested and taken °toApia, where they will be prosecuted.

On February 23 and 24, before hisJTonor Chief Judge S. Merling, and ajury of four assessors, a 15-year-oldboy. Paina, was charged with man-slaughter. The case arose out of aquarrel between the accused and Tavita.a bigger and stronger boy 19 yearsold. The quarrel culminated in a fight,during which Paina killed Tavita.

Mr. T. V. Fitzpatriek for the defenpepleaded that the accused acted in selfdefence.

The verdict of the jury was guiltywifh a strong recommendation to merer.Paina was sentenced to three years'imprisonment.

"PHANTOM" SHIP.

OFFICIAL PUZZLED.

SEEN TO BE BLAZING.

YET NO FIRE REPORTED.

(Special.—By Air Mall.)

LONDON, February 26Coastguards, lifeboat officials and

scores of other people in Dorset weremystified by the sight of a ship blazingfuriously under the cliffs of WeymouthBay. Many people telephoned or calledto inquire the name of the ship. Butno vessel had been reported on fire.

The coastguard at Lulworth Covesaid:

"It's all very strange. From here theblazing ship was as plain as a pike-staff.But the na\al authorities and the coast-guard at Grove Point, Portland, couldn'tsee a thing."

PARENTS' FEARS.

EAR INFECTION RISKS.

BATHS NOT SOLELY BLAMED.

The question of whether efforts toencourage the teaching of swimmingwere beijig hampered by parents' fearsof ear infection riske was discussed atthe quarterly meeting of the AucklandSchool Committees' Association lastnight.

When it was pointed out that bathehad been suspected as the source of earinfection, the ohairinan, Mr. F. C. Pace,expressed the opinion that the troublearose from too much diving, wheth/ir inbaths or in the open «ea. He had beentold by a doctor that the damage lay inwater penetrating the ears, and wasaggravated by blowing the nose toohard.

Other delegates agreed experiencehad shown that baths could not be heldsolely to blame. Children should betaught, it was stated, that violent blow-ing of the nose was a harmful way oftrying to get rid of water in ti'.c fi-ad.

"I believe this is the 10th occasion in16 years that I have moved this," saidMr. C. S. Morris, when he spoke to theNewton district committee's remit tothe effect that the association s-houldagain urge the Government to enactlegislation making it compulsory forswimming and life eaving to be taughtin all schools.

The Chairman: We'll see it throughIt's coming.The remit was approved.The association approved a rsmit iromits executive that all Jocal authorises

in the main metropolitan areas of JfewZealand should be urged to provideadequate swimming baths to accommo-date all children.

Another remit adopted \va* one sub-mitted by the Mount FAen School Com-mittee urging that all nurses in theschool dental service should undergo arefresher couree every two years.

The chairman said dental work wasprogressing all the time. Nearly every-one in such forms of publje serviceneeded refresher courses to bring themup to date ia. their methods, and it waeunfair to deny nurees this opportunity.

MT. EDEN WATER.FREE FROM INFECTION.

A lengthy discussion concerning thepurity of the water in the Mount Edenswimming baths took place at a meet-ing of the Mount Eden School Committee.

The headmaster reported that owingto letters received from parents swim-ming lessons had been discontinueMembers stated that residentin the district reported numerous casesof mastoid operations and attributed thetrouble to infection due to impurity ofthe water in swimming bathe and atharbour beaches.

A report was received from th.e Medical Officer of Health, who stated:

"With reference to the new purifica-tion plan at the swimming bafhs, andthe use of a filter and chlorine, it mayinterest you to have the result of bac-teriological examination of the swim-ming bath water on March 9. The bathhad been in use for a week by a total of2200 persons, and the examinationshowed that the water was at the endof the week quite as pure, bacteriologic-ally, ae sterilised public water supplies,and purer than the majority of watersupplies that are not chlorinated."

The committee decided to make the re-port public, but in view of letters re-ceived from parents, no child will be en-couraged to swim in the baths unlessauthority is received from parents orgna'-dians.

MORE PATIENTS.DOMINION HOSPITALS.

CAUSES ANALYSEDNO SIGN OF DEGENERATION

(By Telegraph .—Own Correspondent.)WELLINGTON, this dfiy.

Tn the ten years from 1926 to 1930,while the population of Xcw Zealandincreased hy only 11.4 per cent, tlicnumber of persoiis trcnto<l annually inthe country's public hospitale rose by44.1 per cent.

Taken .m their face value, these figuresseem to indicate an alarming deteriora-tion in the national health, but aninvestigation made by the "Dominion"i« reassuring, Hospital and medicalauthorities, who were consulted, do notbelieve that a* a nation New Zcahindereare less healthy to-day than they woreton years ago. They arc able to giveseveral other reason's for the increasedw of hospitals.

In some important respects, the com-munity is much less prone "to illnessthan it was ten years ago; casesof infectious and notili.ible dis-eases, for instance (not all neces-sarily hospital eases), have been halved,as the result, proba'.ily, of improvedmethods of sanitation. On the otherhand, road accident cp.scs, for whichfull statistics are not available, must bepresumed to nave increased enormously.

Home Treatment Goes.Hospitals today are used much more

freely by the public than they were inthe past. That, simply, appears themain reason for the large increase Inpatients. Many factors have ben re-sponsible for Ringing about the fihange.

In the first place hospital treatmenthas to a g;eat extent replaced hometreatment. "It is. difficult, almost impos-sible, to get satisfactory nursing anddomestic help in the home to-day4 andtreatment can be obtained more cheaplyin hospital," said Dr. A. R. Thorpe, medi-cal superintendent of the WellingtonPublic Hospital. .

"The. standard of housing to ilav issuch that, for those seriously iV, treat-ment in the home is in many L-asos im-possible," said Dr. M. H. Watt, Dircctor-Oenernl of Health. "In addition, thereis a growing appreciation of the factthat the hospital is the place to v.hidisick people should have recourse. Thnadvancement of medical science and theevolution of new types of treatmenthave made what was formerly the workof one doctor the work of a team, whichcan bo carried out only in hospital."'

Dr. Thome mentioned th<: importantpart played in modern medical practiceby such treatments as X-ray, diathermy,ultra-violet light, and d""ep X-raytherapy, which could be more conveni-ently applied in hospital. There had,he said, been an increase in cases forspecialist treatment and observation.Minor operations, such as those for theremoval of tonsils and adenoids, were afew years ago often done in the home,but now in most* cages the patient wentto hospital for a few days. The sameapplied to treatment of minor fractures.

The trend from home to hospitaltreatment is well illustrated by the fig-ures for maternity cases. In 1927 59 percent of maternity casoa were confinedin hospitals, public or private; in 193082 per cent, of'cases were so' confined.The increase has been steady from yearto year.

Change of Attitude.Then there has been a distinct change

in the attitude of the public towardshospitals. "They are not now regardedwith the horror and dread that theywere a few years ago." said Dr. Thome."People are using the hospitals moreintelligently, realising that it is betterto go in early for a fuw days than towait till it is too late.

"Another important point is that theidea of community hospitals has spreadthroughout the world, including New-Zealand, in the last few years. Theyare no longer regarded as charitableinstitutions, but as utilities for the goodof the community."

Improved architecture was one of thefactors which had helped to remove thepublic's antipathy to hospitals, Dr.Thome said. From the large, almostbarrack-like buildings of the past, hos-pitals had developed into somethingmore in the nature of a treatmentcentre. Smaller wards gave more privacyand much more effort had been put intothe interior decoration. Attractive colourschemes and curtains helped to create ahomelike atmospliere.

Dr. Watt drew attention to theincreased use of hospitals by Maoris.In some districts where 10 years agothere wouldhardly have been one Maoriin an institution, to-day half theinmates might be Maoris, he said.

CLOTHES IN RAGS.LOST MAN FOUND.

MIND BLANK ON ORDEALSEARCHERS' DIFFICULT TASK.

SYDNEY, March 12.With his mind a blank and his clothes

in tatters, Theodore Neville, 30-year-cldsawmill owner, was found sitting on alock in the middle of a lonely bushstream, about eix miles from his Stroudmill, too exhausted to move.

Neville had been without food sincehe disappeared several days previouslyHe was in a pitiful conditionSearchers had a herculean task cut-ting a path through the bush to net-Neville back to .Stroud, wnere a doctoris attending him.

The dazed man could not recogniseanybody. There was a touching .= C enewhen his 15-year-old son. who had beenwith the search parties day and nightgreeted him, and cried, "Father, don'tyou know me."

Neville left the mill, which he oper-ates with his brother, about 4 p m onIhursday, to go into the bush.When he did not return at nightfall,his brother, Leslie Neville, organised asearch party of mill employees.The mill whistle was blown all rightin an attempt 1o guide the lost man"Constable Hillier, an expert bushman,later organised another search.Parties, armed with ax<*>, hacked

through bush, described as "some of <.hethickest in Australia," and, in pla.es.had to crawl on their hands and knees.

The exhausted men. with their c'oih-ing torn, returned without finding the

missing man.Under the leadership of Constable

Hillier, more than 60 searchers eet outagain.

Horsemen were in mountainous "o-in-try, about six miles from the mill, wl.cnthey heard a weak coo-ee. It camefrom Neville. They were forced to dis-mount from their horses before theycould reach him.

Neville was seated on a rock in themiddle of a stream. He was so tiredthat he could scarcely raise his headto greet them, and they were ama'edthat he had had the strength to coo-ee.

Although many of the men in theparty were known to him, he could notrecognise them, and they realised thathe was suffering from loss of men:ory.

He had. apparently, been wanderingaimlesely about, but could not tell themof bis experiences; his mind, was blnrk.

Neville's rescuers gave him focd.They carried him through the bush totheir horsee.

Then commenced the gruelling tripback to 'the mill. Supported on eachside by friends, Neville was carried onhorseback to the mill, while other mem-bers of the party cut away the bushwhich impeded their progress.

At the mill, a car was secured, andNeville was taken to his home. Hi-condition at present is .satisfactory, buthis memory has not returned.

GOOD FRIDAY SHOWS.

PERMISSION REFUSED.DECISION AT ROTORUA.

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

ROTORUA, this day.By a majority of eix votes to two the.

Rotorna Borough Council last night,refused applications by the manager ofRotorna Theatres for permission tcshow films on Good Friday evening, andby the leader of a Maori concert partyto conduct a concert on the eame even-ing.

In connection with the applications aletter was received signed by sevenmembers of the clergy expressing thehope that the council would not permitthe showing of secular films on GoodFriday, a day which was. regarded aspossessing the deepest religion*? signifi-cance to all professing Christians.

The general committee of the council,which had first considered the twoapplications, recommended that they berefused on the grounds that the previ-ous year the council had refused simParapplications.

The Mayor. Mr. T. Jackson, said thecouncil knew his views on the question.He did not think that any harm eouMbe done by permitting the two enter-tainments suggested. However, herealised that the committee, in recom-mending the refusal of the applications.had acted in the light of the council'sprevious decision.

Councillor W. E. Penno supported theMayor and moved an amendment thatthe" committee's recommendation bedeleted from the report. This wasseconded by the Mayor, but lost, all theother members of the council votingagainst it.

This question caused considerable con-troversy last year when a petitionsigned by 11.00 people was presented tothe council protesting asainst permis-sion l>eing given for the showing offilm<; and the staging of Maori concertson Good Friday.

NO CONTRIBUTION.

MOUNT ALBERT ATTITUDE.

While deeply sympathetic of the fatewhich overcame Captain Edwin Musickand his crow in the ill-fated SamoanClipper, the Mount Albert Borough Coun-cil will make no contribution to the fundfor a memorial to the lost flyers.

"We very clearly respect the courageand skill of the crew," said the Mayor,Mr. H. A. Anderson, at Tuesday night'smeeting of the council. He pointed out,however, that others before the Ameri-cans had performed similar fe«ts whichhad not been recognised. If any memorialshould be established to the pioneers ofthe service over that area, it should beto the late Sir Charles Kingsford Smith.

THE FOOLISH ANT.

According to Dr. Julian Huxley, presi-dent of the Royal Zoological Society, theant is rather stupid. He described tochildren during one of his lectures atthe Eoyal Institution, London, how antsallow a certain type of butterfly to cometo their nest and eat their grubs. Theypermit this because they, in turn, likeeating a etieky substance which thebutterfly provides. "It is as if a nurse-maid were to allow a wolf to carry offthe baby from her pram in return fora nip of gin," said Dr. Huxley. Thelittle "domestic animals" which workfor it in the ant hills quite easily deceiveit into thinking that they, too. are antswho fliust be given food, he said.

(Special.—Rv Air Mail.)LONDON", February 26

An English scientist, Mr. L. F. Hulls,of Chidham, Sussex, can produce livebutterflies of any colour he wi«hee. Itis done hy feeding caterpillars on plantsimpregnated with harmless dves.

By lowering the amperage as heincreases the voltage, he can passthrough the body of a human beinesome 500,000 volte- enough to kill some100 men—without the slightest clanger.

By combining his knowledge of but-terflies and electricity, he is nowattempting to discover if the gardenpests can be made to '•'electr.fy" plantsand flowers.

In other words, lie is seeking to findout if delicate plants can be reared elec-trically, with the aid of the butterflies.

In his acquarinm. are goldfish swim-ming in crystal clear water which hasnot been c.ianged for seven years.How's that done? "Simple." says Mr.Hulls. "You place among the fish scien-tifically selected insects which eat upall the wa*te matter."

INTELLIGENCE TEST.INSPECTOR SURPRISED.

In a country school the inspector wasgiving the junior class an intelligencetest. "What is it," he asked, '-thateveryone u*es for shaving?"

"I'lease, sir," piped up one vounghopeful, 'Q-TOL, sir."

Quite right, too! Every day in moreand more Xew Zealand homes Q-TOLplays an important role in shaving.

An application of Q-TOL before lather-ing gives the smoothest, quickest shaveyou have ever enjoyed. If you ha\\never tried Q-TOL before and aftershaving, try it now. You will he as-tounded. See the wrapper enclosed withevery bottle for Q-TOL'S many otheruses.

Apply. Q-TOL after shaving—keepsthe face smooth and firm. Get a bottleto-d*y.—(Ad.)

SPRING FASHIONSON A FREEZING DAY.

Facts About Furs,Frocks and Fripperies(By XELLE M. SCAXLAX)

LOXDOX, February 14.Mid-February, St. Valentine's Day to

be exact, and for six whole weeks, thetemperature has never dropped belowfreezing point. We don't know wherewe are, and the birds and bulbs areequally puzzled. Gules, yes, terrificgales, wrecks and disasters round theEnglish coast, enormous damage to theeea coast, end yesterday the tide sohigh in the Thames, driven up by theeast wind on one side, and the full okhjmon the other hand, and the iships onthe river were riding high above theroad level. . A few anxious midnighthours, police patrols, all baseuK'ntdwellers along the embankment awak-ened and warned to be ready toevacuate their homes, if necessary. Thegreat Fen land areas escaped ruin oncemore by a few inches. All these, hutthe temperature has not dropped belowfreezing point for six weeks, and statis-ticians are searching the weather recordsto find a parallel. For that they mustgo back about a century. In fact, it isjust a hundred years ago that theThames was frozen over at this date,and an ice fair was held upon it.

So we may be excused for turning ourminds to spring clothes, though I mustsay it was a shock to wflke up and findLondon under a thick coat of snow, anda freezing wind blowing. Just as thespring hats, gay with flowers, are readyto wear, the thermometer hae droppedto, I know not what, but it feels likezero out of doors. So bang goes ourgrand record. Nesting birds, and bud-ding, trees have been caught napping.Crocue patches are golden andwhite and purple in many a grassylawn, and the first almond blossom isshowing its tender pink. Birds aretwittering on every tree, and find jus-tification in the green leaf buds, thatare bound to suffer from this suddencold. As I write, big goose feathers ofsnow are again falling, and a watery sunia setting in the west, its waning lightgiving a theatrical touch to the flutter-ing snow that is being whirled aboutbv the. Arctic wind.

And what of the spring fashions?Warmed by a glass of champagne at 11a.m. wo watched a parade of eloUieswhich are an indication of what one willwear during the next few months, anclseveral points stood out sharply, thoughthere are so meny questions I wouldlike to have asked.

A "Plucked" Look.Why, for instance, niuet fur capes

—capes of silver fox—be made to appearsquare? Eight, 10 and sometimes 12fox skins have been used to make thesecapes, with padded, equate shoulders,the skins hung from the neck with afringe of tails, but not a collar of anykind at the ne<k. It pave to the man-nequins a plucked look, like a lion withit«s neck stripped but it* other feathersleft on. And why must fur be placedon coate at all the most inappropriatespots? I have decided that if you wantto dress expensively, you must arrangeyour ailments to coincide with the de-signer you chose. The dress honeeI vieiteil to-day, I would call the lum-bago house, and it is no use going thereif you suffer from a pain in the nock.You will find no fur collars on hiscoate, just a raw neck line, exposingthat most susceptible part of you to thebitter winds, but layers of fox and otherfurs around the tail of your three-quar-ter length coat, or wrapped round yourknees.

And while the enow is falling. I feellike writing about furs. Why, again,should ermine be dyed black, and looklike a baby bunny? But there wereseveral little boleios of black ermineto bo seen to-day. Short jackets, too.were made of fur, but not the furs weneed to consider suitable for this style.A brown-dyed ermine Jacket had sleevesof clumsy silver fox, a particularly ex-pensive but revolting combination. Amore effective effort was of white ermineand white fox. The gem of the furcoate was a long evening coat of whiteermine, with three rows of little blackermine tails at the bottom. This hadno comic, touches at all. And while onthe subject of f<lah ion incongruities, apale beige drefw with three-quarterlength coat of very light material, andentirely collarless, had a deep border offur around our tougher muscles, and afur muff as large ns a coal sack. Whenit is warm enough to wear this dress, amuff will be ridiculous. But if fashionsavs so. someone will suffer and pay.

Black and white was well to the fore.Several of the cool neat dresses, withshort coats, were made of white withblack stripes about one inch apart, usu-ally going up and down above the waist,and round like a barrel below the belt.Another reversed this, and was blackwith white etripee.

Perhaps piping may be regarded asone of tho outstanding notes of thisspring. Many of the dresses were pipedwith a gay colour, black with white orgold kid, or else black patent leather.These were very smart. And most' ofthe dressee were fastened with a zip.

Tighter and Shorter.Day skirts are shorter and tighter

and Jacking in grace so far as tailoredsuits are concerned. But for lightermaterials, such as floral silk, many ofthem were made with stitched pleatsmoulding the ■skirt to the hips, and thenhaving full pl«y for walking.

Little jackets for the summer, usu-ally matching the frock, were either ofthe bolero type, or slightly longer, fall-ing loose below the waist. The longcoats were semi-fitting, and a few hadepaulettes.

Among the colours shown were a widerange of soft grey-blue, grey-green andother"pastel shades. When they went infor a strong colour it was scarlet,emerald, purple of cyclamen. Many ofthe blues had a pinkish or purplish tonein them.I think the dress that lingers most

pleasantly in my memory was one ofthe simplest. It wae tine dove-grey,with a belt and knot at the throat ofblack velvet, and a flat grey straw hathad two upstanding ends of black vel-vet in front, with a twist of it roundthe crown. It had the charm of so-briety, and as often happens, it far out-shone the peacock colours.

Two Ascot frocks were of lace, onein pale pink, a heavy lace over pinksatin, made very tight and just touch-in? the ground. The pink lace had wideblack fox fur cuffs to the little coat,and the other, in pale blue lace, hadeufis of champagne-tinted osprey, whichalso trimmed the hat. They were charm-ing.

Most of the day frocks had highnecks, often finished with an inch-highl>ank, sometimes in contrasting colour.Belts were gay, and heavily jewelled,and there was much hand-embroideryto be seen. A fine wool dress in navyblue had a bib front of white embroid-ered on the material, and the designwas repeated on the sleeves at the wrist.

Kvening dresses, too. were rich inembroidery. The wedding gown ofheavy silk lace was embroidered in seedpearls and sequins, and a border of thispearl and sequin embroidery edged thebridal veil. The bridesmaid's frock togo with this was of stiff magnolia-tintedsatin, made very full as to skirt, andoff the shoulders at the neck, and wornwith a wide hat.

Several of the evening dresses wereembroidered in coloured stones, imita-tion rubies and sapphires and emeralds,with smaller beads to harmonise. Someof these designs were worked on thebodice, and outlined the waist in theform of a wide belt. Others again worebands of embroiders sewn on, but allvery rich and effective.

One evening dress in ivory taffeta- wasmade over a crinoline, with three wideinched bands at intervals from the kneedown. It was all very well to showsuch a dress, but it would be impossibleto wear it in ordinary life. No car ortaxi would accommodate it, and I hadvisions of the owner hastily dressing inthe lobby of a theatre or hotel. Anotheralso of stiff taffeta, though not hooped,was so wide and be-ruched that it wasnearly as impracticable.

Not Many Bare Backs.A few bare backs wr ere to be seen, but

for the most part the evening dresseswere softly gathered over the bust, andhad some back to them. A few hadfollowed the Victorian off-the-shouldertendency. i

Tea gowns were also shown, usuallya filmy gown of chiffon or lace, of thesemi-lingerie type, with a long trainedcoat to match. These were usually inpale tones, hhish pink or softest blue.

The court gowns were in either silveror gold lame. In one, the court trainwas fastened to the shoulder with twolarge blue velvet bows.

A lilac braided in red, a pale pinktrimmed with deep rose, a royal blueand black, were among the colour com-binations chosen. Many of the eveningfrowns had long wing ends falling to theback from the shoulders. Most dresseshad a soft fold for a belt.

Sharply upturned large Breton sailorhats were worn with many of thedresses, and though wide, they offeredlittle shade to the face, but a grandopportunity for the wind.

For the winter, hats have been high,some extremely high, but that mode haspassed. Designers do not like us to keepa hat from one season to another, andin fact, make it impossible when theycan. Most of the spring models lookas if they have been run over by abus. Flat is the idea of the momentThe most attractive are the skull capswhich fit snugly, with a tiny discperched well forward over the eyes. Someof these are like doll's hats, they areso small. Others have-a tiny crown,an inch high, and size of a tea cup.with a wee hand of corded ribbon aroundthem. To be smart, you may have oneof these flat ones, with a cluster of(lowers arranged on top—gay flowersfor preference, or yon may have themuffin instead of the plate. Thisappears to be an inch thick, usuallywith a topknot of flowers in the centre.Some of these muflin hats are not

attached to the skull cap, hut have anindependent life apart, and are tetheredto the head by menus of strinjrs tiedunder the chin. But how few chinsrespond to this treatment? Othershave a loop of ribbon gripping the backof the head, sometimes with a ribbonbow filling in the gap at the back.

Aii amusing resurrection is the strawsjiilor hat with the spotted veil. Thisveil is not a (ly-away thing that catchesin the spokes of your umbrella, but areally truly veil, that covers the wholeface, and yon twiddle it into a knotunder your chin, just as mother did.Some are tied in a large bow.

Oiled Silk for Sunshades.We seem to he growing away from

the old silk umbrella and sunshade Thegrowing tendency is towards the oiledsilk. These arc now to be seen in manycolours,, say with patterns as well asplain, and many have glass knobs, sodon't drop the wretched thing, cr you'llbe out of luck.

Shoes, too. seemed to have been aspir-ins to notoriety. The latest idea ha<*come from Paris, hut it is already show-ing in London, but not on the street*,ami it won't while chilblain weather isstill with us. These are sandals withcork soles and heels a couple of inchesthick. They remind me of the shoesworn by unfortunate people who haveone leg shorter than another. Thereis no knowing where next fashion willlook for inspiration. These are the ugli-est, clumsiest thillfrs T have ever seen,and with their sandal straps of silveror gold or dainty satin, they look evenworse than the variety >n leather forstreet wear. These cork-soled sandals,T believe originated at the Lido nearVenice, where the thick soles enabledwomen to walk on the sand withoutgetting it into their shoes. From theItalian Lido to London i« a far cry.and they looked very odd on this snowyday. But T doubt if, under any cir-cumstance. English women will take tothem. Except tlie few who must bedifferent or die.

There are few periods, institutionsof countries that have not been raidedfor fashion inspiration, but we have yetto trespass on Hi.s Majesty's prisonsand borrow the broad-arrow, for a chicdesign. It is almost the one thing theyhaven't tried .

CRAZY LAWS.

SUNDAY TRADING.

SHOPKEEPERS REBELMAD BET OF ANOMALIES.

(Special.—By Air Mall.)

LONDON, February 26.Thousands of shopkeepers in Brtain

are in revolt against the Shops SundayTrading (Restrictions) Act, 1937, whichwas originally designed to give thesmall shopkeeper some rest on Sunday.

But so many people hove tinkeredwith it find inserted conditions and ex-ceptions that almost as many shops haveto keep open as did before, while theirproprietors and the people who use themare harassed by a mad set of anomaliesthat make business a farce.

Shopkeepers state that they areupending more time in telling customerswhat they can't buy than in sellingthings. The dairyman may send hiscustomers milk, but not butter or eggs,although these are always delivered bythe same roundsman in the same bar-row.

The greengrocer may sell fruit, flowersand vegetables. He may sell e poundof peas, but if anyone asks him for atin of peas he must refuse them—he-cause they count as groceries, whichcannot be sold on Sunday.

The clothes shop is not allowed toopen at all. But he may find that aclothes stall outside his shop windowmay, in certain circumstances, sell ex-actly the same thing with the full per-mission of the authorities.

The fried fieh shop is allowed to sellfish and chips to be eaten in the shop.They count as "refreshments," whichmay be sold on Sunday. Therefore heopens his shop. But if a customerwants to eat his fish and chips at home,the proprietor must not supply them,and must refuse to wrap them up.

The photographer may take photo-graphs on Sunday morning—'but only ifthey are for passports. If he uses theopportunity to make a larger or betterphotograph he is liable to a fine. Theowner of a tobacco and general shopmay open to eell cigarettes and con-fectionery, but he may not sell anythingelse he stocks.

The confectioner may sell some choco-late biscuits, but not others. If theyare made by a biecuit manufacturerthey count as groceries. If they aremade by a chocolate firm, and packedin a box, he may sell them, becausethey rank as eweets.

The toy shop may not eell a ball toa child on a Sunday. But if his fatheris a member of a tennia club he maybuy a ball there, as all clubs are allowedto sell sports requisites on Sunday.

The bicycle shop may sell a bulb fora bicycle lamp, because that is a cycleaccessory and may be> sold on Sunday.The proprietor may not eell an electricbulb for a torch.

The stationer's shop -with a stamplicense may sell a etemp, but it maynot sell a postcard to stick it on.

MEASLES PREVALENT.CASES AMONG CHILDREN.

MILD FORM IN AUCKLAND.

A mild form of measles has been pre-valent in the Auckland district duringthe past few months, and recently a con-siderable number of cases have occurredaround the city and suburbs. It is statedthat children are chiefly affected, and theattendance at the schools have beenreduced to some extent in consequence.

When the district medical officer ofhealth, Dr. T. J. Hughes, wae inter-viewed thie morning, he said there hadapparently been more easee this sumroevthan for several years, but the disease,being of the form known as Germanmeasles, was not severe and wae notnotifiable.

At the Orakei native settlement anuree of the Health Department hadbeen supervising the treatment of youngMaori patients, Dr. Hughes added, butthe outbreak there appeared to be lessextensive than in the Far North, wherelack of care and attention had contri-buted to its spread in some of thevillages.

He said it was necessary for thoseaffected to remain indoors and keepwarm until the rash had disappearedfrom the skin, and when this precautionwas observed a rapid recovery was made.School children were required under theregulations not to attend classes untilat least two weeks from the appearanceof the raeh.

Other inquiries showed that a fewcases had been reported at the eecondarvschools, and that there were one or twoabsentees from the staffs of some of thelarger city firms through the same cause.

BRILLIANT K.C. DEAD.

UNDERSTANDING MAGISTRATERULING ON "CRICKET" RECALLED

(Special.—By Air Mail.)

LONDON, February 25,The death, from diphtheria, of Mr.Frederick Temple Barrinjrton-Ward,

K.C, yie Lambeth magistrate, hasoccurred.

Mr. Barrington-Ward, who wa« 57,was taken ill while staying at a WestEnd club, his wife being absent in thesouth of France.

Outstanding in the brilliant patch-work of London characters there hasalways been the figure of the policecourt magistrate, patient auditor of agreat city's follies. And Mr. Barrington-Ward was among the most understand-ing and humane of that great body.

There are many stories of this bril-liant K.C. who forsook lucrative advo-cacy for the comparatively meagrefruite of a magisterial career.

"People come here and think thatI'm jijst an old fool from the WestBnd," he told a man at Thames. PoliceCourt shortly after he was appointed amagistrate in 1930. "But they are mis-taken. I can find things out "ae well aspeople in the East End."

Once he called for a dictionary whentwo boys were brought before him forplaying cricket in the streets. Theboys explained that they had no bat.but used their hande to hit the ball."H-m-m," said Mr. Barrington-Ward." 'Cricket . . . played with a ball, batand wicket.' .

. . Case dismissed."Mr. Barrington-Ward was an Oxford

man, one of five distinguished brothers.Called to the Bar in 1905, he took silkIn lOia.

MAORI CUSTOMS.

COMMERCE AND LAW.

PRIMITIVE BARTER SYSTEM.

ADDRESS TO CREDITMEN.

Customs and habits of the Maoris inrespect to commerce and law prior tothe advent of the white man were thesubject of an address given by Mr. Sel-wyii Clarke at the monthly meeting ofthe Auckland Creditmen's Club yester-day. Mr. F. G. Baskett presided.

The barter that was carried onbetween tribes differed somewhat fromthe European conception of the word,said -Mr. Clarke. The tribe that wasthe recipient of jroode from its neigh-bour* was morally obliged to returnmuch more than was given. Generositywas the keynote of Maori commercialrelations. That was perhaps the reasonwhy to-day, though Maoris were foundas doctors, artisans and skilled workers,they were not found in commerce.

' Recognised Trade.In int-er-tiibal relations there was a

recognised trade between the tribes ofthe Bay of Tlenty and those of the Ure-wera. Tlie latter received preservedkumaras in exchange for preservedbirds. The baiter was made possible bythe eystem of cooking the kumaras.mashing them and driving out the mois-ture. The result was eatable for twoyeare.

"There wae also an exchange ofskilled carvers and craftsmen," said Mr.Clarke. "Though, when they left thejob they were unpaid, they were alwaysovertaken on the road home and pre-sented with mats, greenstone and otherarticles a« a thoughtful gift, but not aspayment."

Property Held in Common.Though the Maoris lived a communal

life and held property in common, thatdid not interfere with a man's personalpossessions, euch as hie uete and'canoe.It would have been an insult to offer tobuy them, hut a little judicious admira-tion would usually produce them ae agift.

Any tendency for a man to etore uptoo many worldly goods wae sharplychecked by muru, a tribal custom underwhich a man could he deepoiled of hiftproperty for any offence. He himselfwould in turn have the opportunity oftaking part in muru against any otheroffender in the future.

A vote of thanks was accorded thespeaker on the motion of Mr. JuliusHogben.

BURNS MAUSOLEUM.

RESTORATION SCHEME.

APPEAL FOR FINANCE.

{By Telejp-aiph.—Press Association.)

WELLINGTON, Wednesday.Reference to a recent cable message

from London which stated that the re-sponse to a world-wide appeal for fundsto restore the Robert Burns mausoleumat Dumfries was only £570 was madeby the president of the Welling-ton Burns Club, Mr. R. H. Nimmo. Hesaid that news had now been receivedin New Zealand that the appeal wae anofficial one, and it was a challenge toevery Scotsman in the Dominion to con-tribute to it.

"The Wellington Burns Club had hadno communication of a world-wide appealat the time of the cable message,,, Mr.Nimmo said, "and consequently I unhesi-tatingly publicly expressed doubt as toita authenticity for the reason that atthat stage there was no record of anyBurns Club in New Zealand to my know-ledge having received such an appeal.

"The 7Jiatter has. now been clarified bya communication just to hand indicatingthat the Dumfries Burns. Club as anautonomous body undertook the task ofcarrying out urgently neede<l restorationsto the Burns mausoleum at Dumfries.Tt was two years ago when the Dum-fries club undertook this task, and in sodoing it is reported that the club incur-red an expenditure of £2.">00. an amountfar in excess of its resources.

"Recognising that the financial re-sponsibility should not in fairness fallsolely on the shoulders of the Dumfriest'ub, the Burns World Federation hae,now taken up the matter, and has circu-lated a world-wide appeal to all affiliatedclubs and lovers of the poet's works toassist in clearing off this debt which thechrb has incurred on its own initiativeand on Scotland's behalf." continued Mr.Nimmo. "The amount required to clearthe total debt is £17.">0, and this appealhas been sent out under the signaturesof the Duke of Buccleuch, Lord Elgin,the Earl of Stair, Mr. H. M. H. McKer-row, president of the Burns Federation,and Mr. D. O'Brien, president of theDumfries Burns Club. The appeal is nowofficial, it can be recognised and actedon, and it certainly presents a challengeto every Scotsman in New Zealand tocontribute to this worthy object.

"The Wellington Burns flub has de-rided to open a fund for this purpose.and on l>ehalf of the federation I solicita prompt response from all Scotsmen inthe country through the clubs associatedwith the federation. Tt is worthy ofnote, too, that the world appeal is beingvery generously assisted by the Press,which in New Zealand at any rate hasalways treated us well."

WORKERS DISMISSED.

MOTOR BODY FACTORY.EFFECT OF COMPETITION.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday.Because of competition from imported

completely-knocked-down motor truckcabins, against which a lack of tariffprotection is alleged, 60 hands employedby Riseley Motors. Limited, motor-bodybuilders, have recentlv been dismissed.

Mr. B. H. Riseley. managing directorof the company, said to-day that con-tinued representations to the Govern-ment in the last 12 months for increasedprotection had been without result, andas it was impossible with increased coststo compete against the imported article,orders had fallen off and it had beennecessary to reduce the staff from 120 to60. Jt had been thought that the pro-tection desired might be included in therecent tariff revisions, but this was notdone.

But for the extra cost involved in the40-hour week and increased wages itwould still be possible to carry on thebusiness on a competitive basis, said Mr.Riseler. Before the new labour con-ditions came i. to force costs were onlytwo-third* of what they were now.

MANCHESTER UNITY.~~~~~ i

OFFICERS INSTALLED.TRANSPORT CIATB MEETING.

(By SCRIBE.)

The chief event in the friendlysociety world last week was the annual<1 i-tri(• t conference of the ManchesterUnity Independent Order of Oddfellows.Ihe gatherings wore an inspiration tonil privileged'to attend. A chic recep-tion was extended on the Wednesday byHis Worship the Mayor, Sir Ernest]>avis, who paid a tribute to the workof the Order and of friendly societies illgeneral.

A touching ceremony wa« the unveil-ing of a tablet to the memory of thelate Brother John Clark, that prince ofOddfellows and one of Nature's gentle-men. Brother Clark was a formergrand master of New Zealand and atthe time of his death, was districttreasurer.

The business of the conference wasconducted by the D.G.M.. Brother T. M.Hetet, in a very able manner and manyimportant decisions were reached. Inhis. address and report Brother Hetetreferred to the grand lodge sessions heldin Wellington at vh oh over 20 Aiie'k-land delegates were in attendance.Brother W. McMillan, of Auckland, -wasnt that conference elected grand 'masterof Xew Zealand. It was greatly regret-ted that Brother McMillan liirf beenseriously ill and not able to carry outhis duties as he had hoped. He was.however, much better and was able topay a short visit to the district confer-ence on Thursday morning.

Brother Hetet said the pn«t year hadbeen a record one and nearly all of the75 lodge* in the district had made aforward move. Five new lodges hadbeen opened during the year and moreare planned for the near future. Theincrease in membership of 934, makingthe present adult benefit membership0565 wae a record advance. Among thebenefits paid during the 12 monthswere:—Maternity claims. £3230: medi-cal attention and medicine. £12.103 10/5:hospital. £4930 5/11: sick pay, £14.0078/2: distress gifts. £37 '•>/; death claims.£1580: annuities, £28 7/1; a grand totalof £36.022 2/7. The increased member-ship was reflected in the amount paidout for sick pay, which was £1234 13/1more than the previous year. Themembership shield competitions werewon by Hot Springs Lodge. Te Aroha.for lodges over 200, the winning increasebeing 37.6 per cent: for lodges under 200members Katikati Lodge, with a recordincrease of 80 per cent, won. The elec-tion of officers for the new year resultedin Brother John Maekay. D.D.G.M., ofLoyal Mount Albert Lodge, beingchosen rm the new district grand masterand Brother W. F. Batee, of Te Aroha.n§ district deputy-gTand master.Brother Bunnell (Calliope), districtwarden, resigned after 17 years ofdevoted service, and Brother Webb(Avon Lodge) was chosen to fill %hevacancy.

On Thursday evening, in the presenceof a very large aseenil>l.i«e, these nowofficers were installed. Bro. T. HeU't,retiring D.G.M., first installed, his suc-cessor,- and congratulated him upon hiselevation to the chief chair of the dis-trict. He thanked him also for theloyal co-operation shown- whilst actingas D.D.G.M. The D.D.G..M., Bro. Bates,was then installed with due ceremony,and later on Bro. Webb ae'D.W. Bro.Mackay, in returning tKankst referredto the decision's arrived 'at during theconference in regard to the establish-ment of a fund for widows and orphansHe -stated that £200 had been given bythe Loyal Parnell Lodge for this pur-pose, and £i) 0 by the district secretary,Bro. J. McLeod- He urged the membersnot to be satisfied with-their record in-crease of last year, but to carry on thegood work and try to excel that -recosMthie year. "We have the goods; it isup to each member to help us to deliverthem," concluded Bro. Mackay. Bro.Bates also, returned thanks for his elec-tiort as D.D.G.iL

The first official duty of the newD.G.M. was to make a presentation toBro. Hetet for his good work whilst incharge of' the;- district; <: This consistedof a P.D.G.M. collar, jewel and framedemblem.,.:. Bro. Hetet briefly responded.A number of other presentations werethen made of membership jewels tothose introducing the most new mem-bers. A jewel is awarded to any mem-ber bringing in 20 or more new members,and a large; number of these have beenwon during the year. Those presented-on Thursday were outstanding becauseof the large numbers brought in hj edehrecipient, and it Is little wonder tne |Manchester Unity Order goes. aheadwhilst they have such good recruitingsergeants. P.O. Bro. James Gray, ofLoyal Remuera Lodge, received, twojewels, one for 120 and another for\22onew members. Bre. Eade, P.D.G.M.? p£Takapuna, has brought in le&.ivßro.'Bates, D.D.G.M. (Te Aroha) 120, andBro. Thompson, P.D.G.M., of Hamilton,

Bro. Bushel, in recognition of his 17years faithful Bervice a e district war-den, received a past grand's collar andjewel. Bouquets were presented by BroMcLeod to those whom he designated-isguardian angel9-the wives of few off M

* ° fficers for the y*«r. SistersHetet, Mackay and Bates were the re-cipients, and each thanked the membersfor their gift. Sister Hetet gave thespeech of the evening, and eloquentlythanked all who had made the year sucha pleasant one for her husband and her-self. At the close of the official busi-ness the floor was cleared for dancWwhilst supper was served in the epacjowUpstairs rooms.

The Auckland Transport Club has fustheld its annual meeting, the presidentBio. hglington, being in the chair. Thesecretary, Bro. S. M. Farrellev, presentedhis report, which revealed a recordyear's work. The balance-sheet showedthat no less that £1997 12/3 hud beenpaid out for sick benefits. A largernumber than ever before of members,wives, and children had passed awayduring the year, £.".20 being paid infuneral benefits. In addition to theordinary benefits, it had been necessarytrt pay £370 in benevolent grants",owing in many cases to long continuedill-health. At Christmas time, a specialappeal was made for a .number of thosewho had been sick for some time and£106 10/ was collected. The AucklandTransport Board gave its usual subsidy,which enabled the club to pity increasedbenefits to the members. The club pub-lishes its own quarterly magnzine, "TheController," and this has .successfullygrown beyond all expectations. Nearlynil the contributors are members of thetransport serv'co. and.a large amount.of1 a lent has come to light.

, Tbe s.oci;il sideplays a prominent part in the work ofthe club. Bowling, tennis, pi'icket andfootball all have their devotees. Thebowling club has two "greens' and apavilion worthy of the largest first-class

club. The tennis club has courts, too,and members of other clubs have foundthe Transport tennis teams to be hardlr> lieat. The same applies to the cricketand football teams—they can alwaysplay the game, and are hard to beat.During the year four dances have beenheld at the Peter Pan Oibaret. andthose have served to keep the memberscloser together. The committee hasdrawn up a pood social programme fort lie eoininrr season. Bro. Kglington, theretiring, president, installed his succes-sor. Bro. K. Foster, into the presidentialchair, mid wished him. every successduring hi< term of office. As an appre-ciation of the work done by Bro.

UNCERTAINTY.BRITISH FEELING.

STRONG GOVERNMENTESSENTIAL

MR. EDEN'S RESIGNATION,

(By NELLE M. SCAXLAN.)LOXDON, February 24,

It was a bad moment, politicallyspeaking, when the British IndustriesFair opened on Monday. The week-endexcitement about Mr. Eden'e resignationhad disquieting features for business.Yet in spite of this, the attendance onthe first day was a record. Whetherthe sales this year will also prove arecord remains to be seen.

There had been talk of a split in theCabinet a week before, but this wasemphatically denied in the Conservativepapers, and we settled down once moreto that exciting form of speculationwhich engages inoet thoughtful peoplethese days: Which country would pro-vide the week's sensation? To whatpoint in Europe or Asia would the sealof international danger move?

But we are getting accustomed tothese scares, and. "Business as usual"seems to be tho' slogan of most concerns.So those buyers who had made planefor coming to the Industrif 1 Fair packed.their bags and came. Most of thembring wivee or daughters and make thisexcursion to the Old Town a festiveevent as well. They combine businesswith an annual burst of gaiety.

The real seriousness of the situationwas not recognised until Saturday, and,for many, Sunday. The Sunday paperssold out rapidly, as people, not convincedby one set of views, bought up half adozen papers, to check the progress ofevents from every angle. Cabinet wasto meet again in the afternoon, and, asit happened, it met again twice on Sun-day evening. "Extras' , were being calledin the streets, and there was all theexcitement attendant upon a majorpolitical crisis. Downing Street waspacked all day, in spite of a bitter wind,and at midnight stragglers were stillthere.

Talking it Over.I spent the evening with a dozen

rather interesting people, all vitally in-terested in the situation, and many withsome special knowledge of affairs.' Therewas a war correspondent just back fromSpain and the Mediterranean. He waecautious, but had some illuminatingthings to eay that had not appeared inthe Press. There was also another jour-nalist, of international reputation, whoknew a good deal. A woman who hadbeen private secretary to a past PrimeMinister was also present, and thoughshe is no longer "on the inside," herinterest in things political was unabated.A successful novelist, who had just re-turned from Canada, where she had beenlecturing, was well informed about whatthat Dominion thought and felt aboutEuropean affairs. There were severalothers, each contributing their bit ofinformation from some special angle.Later we were joined by two Scotsmenwho had that day motored from Scotlandto attend the fair. They had juet signeda big contract to supply goods to theGlasgow Exhibition, and had come to thefair to place an order for many thousandpounds' worth of material. Their anxietywas acute, especially as they own afactory in the Balkans from which theydraw part of their necessary rawmaterial. J

One woman mformed us that she hadrecently been approached to join a secretorganisation which ie working under-ground for the return of the Duke ofWindsor to power. She was not "ivenmuch information about the plan asthey are moving cautiously, but she wastold that they had received a handsomesubscription towards their fund- from aman whose commodity the Duke hadonce specially asked for, when he wasthirstv.

There is a lot going on in London ofwhich you hear little til! the '-storybreaks," as they say in the sensationalnewspapers.At half-past ten, we listened to thewireless, but all we heard was that theCabinet was to meet again later, and wemight have news at 11 p.m. We againlistened and then came the solemn

announcement that Mr. Eden hadresigned.Some of the guests were for taking ataxi to Downing Street, but it was felt>.hat by this time it would all be over,and, no doubt, Mr. Eden had departed!And it was very cold.

Government Must Go On.When I left at midnight, the twoScotsmen were exceedingly depressed.Should they place that order and chance

itT Would Mr. Chamberlain carry theHouse with him and proceed with hispolicy of appeasement? Would he bedefeated and face an immediate generalelection? Might things get worse andthe Glasgow Exhibition have to be can-celled?

Not since the abdication ha« Londonbeen so intense and like the abdicationthe uncertainty was a serious factor inbusiness circles. The matter must besettled at once. On Monday afternoonMr. Eden made his speech of explana-tion, and Mr. Chamberlain cave his ver-sion of the affair. The debate went ontill Tuesday night, when the vote wastaken, and Mr. Chamberlain won hand-somely. In such a crisis a stronsr CJoV-ernment is Already Britishprestige has' suffered considerably andthere is rejoicing in Italy and Germanyover their triumph in setting rid ofAnthony Eden. But Mr. Eden's atti-tude has been warmly supported andthough many regret his thecountry's -work must be carried on andwar averted. That is the general feel-ing.

PEACE IN TRADE.

BRITAIN AND U.S.A.

WORLD RECOVERY HOPES.RECIPROCAL AGREEMENT

DISCUSSED.

(By DOROTHY THOMPSON, in the"New York Herald-Tribune.")

If you believe in private enterprise,free economy and peace, you will wel-come the prospect of a reciprocal tradetreaty between the British Common-wealth and the United Statee as thebiggest news in many weeks and themost hopeful sign for world recovery inyears.

It is also the first victory for Secre-tary of State Mr. Cordell Hull, who, inthe American Cabinet, has fought afairly lonely fight against regimentationand economic nationalism, and fought itwith a constructive counter-weapon.

For regimentation ie a result, ratherthan a cause. It has come about allover the world, with the contraction ofworld markets, and the inability ofnations to find outlets for their goods, orto exchange their agricultural productsor manufactured goods for essential rawmaterials.

There is not a chance in the world ofthis regimentation halting, of our mov-ing a-vay from one form or another ofplanned economy, with all the politicalconnotations of that word, except in afreer world.

Howls of Protest.This treaty, which the State Depart-

ment is fully empowered to make, willnot be concluded without many howls ofprotest from special interests. Tarifflobbyists have not been notable for theircapacity to think as national econo-mists, but invariably are zealous indefence of their own pereonal ends.

The issue will also be beclouded bythose who read into it a grandiose poli-tical scheme to unite the British Com-monwealth and the United States in a"democratic front" against Fascistnatione. On this ground it will behailed by those who want such a front,and denounced by those who fear ourbeing, embroiled in entangling alliances.

That the trade agreement, if itbecomes effective will enormously aid thecause of democratic government in theworld, this writer sincerely believes.That it i« directed against anyone, orpresupposes a democratic "bloc" ienonsense.

It represents a positive trade policy,on the part of those who believe inrevived international trade, because theybelieve that revived international tradewill further international stabilisationand prosperity. It is largely the workof a man who has believed in the prin-ciples of reciprocal trade for 20 years,since before Fascism was ever thoughtof, and who haa been working for Jhisagreement since this Administrationwent into office in the spring of 1933—at the same time that Herr Hitler cameinto power.

It is, of course, tho most importantpossible trade treaty that Mt. Hullcould negotiate, because the amount ofpotential trade involved is eo large. TheUnited States and the United Kingdomare the world's- leaders in trade. Betweenthem they buy 28 per cent of the world'simports, and 6ell 24 per cent of allexports. Our exports to the UnitedKingdom in 1936 were equal to our com-bined ealee to nine other European coun-tries—France, Italy, Germany, Belgium,Holland, Denmark, Xorway, Finland andCzechoslovakia. Forty-seven millionbought more American goods than thebillion inhabitants of Asia. And Anglo-American trade has survived even underthe most serious discouragements.

Our tariff policy has dealt harshlywith English goods. We buy a greatmany products via England, such a< tin.furs. tea. rubber, etc.. but the bulk ofgood.? actually produced in England payrates of from 30 to 4."> per cent. Andsome of them, which compete with noimportant American industries whatso-ever, such as cotton lace, pay 90 percent.

Fight for Free Trade.Our own protectionism, expressed in

the tariffs of 1!)22 and 1930, awakenedthe response of British protectionism.Even after the war, when protectionismwas rampant all over the world, andbecame one of the parents of depressionand economic regimentation, the tradi-tional British prejudice in favour of freetrade fought for a time, stubbornly. Butin 1931, when Britain abandoned the goldstandard and reduced the value of thepound, it began a protectionist policy,first as an emergency. But, as we our-selves learn, emergency measures tendto entrench themselves* The British pro-tectionist policy was given permanencein the Ottawa agreements, concluded inAugust, 1032, which gave preference inEngland to Empire products and viceversa. At the Ottawa Conference twoopinions contended, one that the bar-riers to trade should be lowered betweenBritain and her Dominions, and the otherthat tariff barriers should be erectedaround* the Empire against all outsiders.Earl Baldwin, then Mr. Stanley Baldwin,supported the former policy,' but wasdefeated.

The effect of the Ottawa agreementson our trade was serious. It is true thatwe still maintained about the same per-centage in the British market, but cer-tain things suffered disastrously. Forexample, Great Britain had purchasedtwenty million dollars worth of Ameri-can flour and wheat in 1931. She pur-chased only a little over a million dollarsworth ill 193., ). The purchase of hamswas cut almost in half, and that of con-densed milk was almost obliterated.Rice, other cereale, canned fish, and fruit,also suffered.

Tariff policies were not alone to blame.The drought played a role, and so didthe crop restriction policies of the A.A.A.—which, incidentally, the new Farm Billwishes to revive, just as we are aboutto make the biggest move to increaseAmerican farm exports of the wholeadministration! But the British policyof Empire preference certainly hit theAmerican wheat farmer. Canadianwheat went into Britain free; Americanwheat had to pay a 6 per cent tariff.

Imperial Preferences.Britain, I understand, is willing to go

much farther in making concessions nowthan was dreamed of several years ago.She will set aside a large part of theImperial preferences. Particularly, willshe give equal chances to Amerieanwheat in their market. AgriculturalAmerica will profit greatly by the pro-posed treaty.

Elsewhere, the problem will be tomake possible substantial increases inealoe of English goods in our markets,and, at the same time, to avoid injury towell conducted American industries.This is not nearly so difficult as it seemsat first sight.

We now levy, high duties on manygoods that are not manufactured in 'America at all, or. if manufactured, areof a completely different quality, or areproduced in small quantities, involvingno considerable investment of capital or '

employment of labour. There are highduties on fine yarns, mule-spun fromEgyptian cotton, which do not competedirectly with American yarns, which arcring-spun. We pay high duties on Eng-lish worsteds and woollens, whose qual-ity puts them outside of Americancompetition. AVe pay a prodigious dutyon cotton lace, and on table damask andhandkerchief linen, which are not madehere at all!

From a political viewpoint, the effectswill certainly be important. The newsmade a great stir in Germany, forinstance, and the process of negotiatingtho agreement will be followed therewith intense interest.

The principle of the Reciprocal TradeAgreements is certainly the antithesisof the principle of the German bartersystem.

The "application of the reciprocal prin-ciple to the United States and the BritishCommonwealth means its triumph over avery large part of the world, for it willaffect countries outside the Empire, butclosely associated with it in trade mat-ters, such as Argentina.

But the American reciprocity systemie open to everybody, and if it demon-strates its effectiveness in the very largearea where it now has a chance of beingapplied, it may eventually have anattractive power even to its presentopponents.

In any case, it is refreshing to seeLiberal Democracy start to put a fewof its avowed principles into operation.

MAORIS CHARGED.ROBBERY ALLEGED.

THREE MEN FOR TRIAL.TAXI-DRIVER'S STORY.

(By Telegraipli.—l>ress Association.)

HASTINGS, Wednesday.Three. Maoris, Mason Tihenm, aged

31. Sonne Burton, aged 1!>, and HenryBurton, aged 2(i, were charged in theNapier Police Court to-day with assault-ing Constable J. H. Cummings and withrobbing Raymond Walter George David-son, a. taxi-driver, of Napier, of £3 8/9with violence.

In evidence Da\ id?on said that about10 p.m. on February 25 he picked up fivepassengers and drove them to SaleStreet, where he was asked to stop. Thisthree accused got out. .Sonne Burtonthen accused witness of getting thepolice earlier in the evening. There wasno policeman present at the time. Wit-ness was seized from behind by one ofthe. accused and hi.s arms were held. Theother two attacked him with their fists.

Witness said lie was quite satisfiedhe was .struck by the three accused.He had £4 3/9 in an outside pocket oi:his dustcoat when assaulted,' but onlythree, or four shillings after the assault.Witness was held against a corrugatediron fence until someone said the policewere coining when he freed himself andthe accused went off. Witness, in hiscar, chased two who went in the direc-tion of Munro Street. He caught thembefore they went through the fence intothe railway yards.

Continuing, witness said he ran thecar between the fence and the Maorisand cut them off. Sonne Burton thenjumped on the running: board and struckhim. Witness reversed the car on to thestreet and got out. He attacked SonneBurton, knocked him down and held himdown by the throat. Mason Tihemaarrived to help Burton aoid then witnessand Tihema fought. Henry Burtonthen arrived.

"Hammered About the Head."One or two of the Accused kicked wit-

ness in the ribs and hammered himabout the head, continued witness. Hemanaged to hold them for a little while,but they escaped. The police arrived aminute or so after the accused dis-appeared. At no time during the even-ing did witness give- the accused reasonfor the attack. They appeared veryfriendly. After the fight in MunroStreet 17/ was found on the ground. Nomoney was picked up in Sale Street.

Constable Cummings said that whenhe attempted to arrest the MaorisMason Tihema said: "You are not goingto take us to the police station. Weown New Zealand." Henry Burtonpushed witness in the stomach. Theother two accused adopted a lightingattitude and struck witness on the faceand body. Witness then struck HenryBurton with his baton.

At the police station, witness con-tinued, he searched the accused. MasonTihema had a pound note and 5/ insilver, Sonne Burton a pound note and8/9 in silver, and Henry Burton 29/7in his possession. At the station HenryBurton said, "Let the others go. Idid it."

The three accused pleaded not guiltyand were committed to the SupremeCourt for trial. Their counsel, Mr.Xash, asked for bail, which was opposedby the police.

"I cannot give reasons at this stage asit may prejudice the accused," said themagistrate, Mr. J. Miller, "but I must•cfuse bail."

TARIFF CHANGES.

EFFECT Of HIGHER DUTIES.

STATEMENT BY IMPORTERS,

"The propaganda work of the XewZealand Manufacturers' Association ismost persistent, but to those who analysethe statements which are made, it isludicrous," state* the executive of theBureau of Importers.

"The latest scare raised by the NewZealand Manufacturers' Association isa reference to the possibility of war.This is quite a new angle, but we cannotcongratulate the New Zealand Manufac-turers' Association on it.

"Fortunately, the majority of the con-suming public are not likely to be mis-led by Mr. Shove's failure to tell themthat, if there was an outbreak of war,the material which the New Zealandmanufacturers at present import intothis country, for use in the assemblingof their products, would be unavailable!As an cxampte, take boots. The localbootmakers stated eome time ago thatthey had to import a large percentageof their leather from England. NowMr. Sh#ve states that in the ev*nt ofwar the secondary industries would lookafter the public of this country.ic 7* another

.

example, we would referto the material bought from Englandand Japan for the manufacture of shirtsin New Zeafand. There is hardly ahue assembled m this country the rawmaterial for which is not imported Theact ,s that the local manufacturershave been granted monopolies to enablethem to procure manufactured materialsfrom all parts of the world and assemblethem in New Zealand, under b>h pro-tective tariffs. The consuming publicis paying tribute to these monopolies'Another misleading statement is thatthe New Zealand manufacturers havenot increased their prices since therecent change in tariffs. The object ofincreasing the tariffs was to enable localmanufacturers to increase their pricesto the consuming public. Those engagedin the importing business know thatNew Zealand manufacturers have travel-lers out in all parts of the countryquoting prices, some of which havealready been increased, while others willbe increased at an early date.

"Members of the New Zealand Manu-facturers' Association should notattempt to mislead the consumingpublic. Let them put up a bond andpublicly guarantee that there has notbeen and will not be an increase inprices. We suggest this would be moreeffective than their present methods ofpropaganda." I

LIVE STOCK MARKETSTORE CATTLE LOWER.

"DAIRIES" IN DEMAND.PIGS STILL HIGHER

Since List review the principal movementin export values has been a decline in theprice of wool at the London sales, whichopened on Tuesday. However, therehave been quite satisfactory clearances atrecent New Zealand auctions, and therearc reasonably good prospects for thethird Auckland sale, which takes place onSaturday week. It is possible that theeasing in London may prove onlytemporary, being probably, due to thegeneral anxiety over European affairs. AtSmithfield exceptionally warm weatherhas curtailed the demand for most elaseeeof meat, but values as a whole show onlyminor alterations. The dairy producemarkets continue very firm and NewZealand butter is now quoted from 118/to 119/ per cwt, over 2d per lb higher thanat this time last year. Cheese, too, isfirm in sympathy with butter. The localmarket for hides hae shown some improve-ment. The change -will be welcomed byfarmers, as values for these and otheroffals have ruled low for a lengthy period.

The weather conditions have continuedvery favourable to stock, though somelocalities are needing ra:n. Of conditionsin the country cur Waikato correspondentwrites:—

''In lniit wook'e report mention wnsniiule of a drop in sheep values and itdefinitely looked as it a decline had setin. (Strangely enough at latt week'sMorrinsville sale the decline was arrestedand an improvement in prices was realised.Certainly the yarding comprised mostlysouthern sheep, which are fast becomingmore popular in the Waikato than thoaefrom the,East Coast. Pricee were 3/ to4/ per head better than the previous week.

"It is now late in the season andvendors have had a remarkably (rood spinas far as prices are concerned. However,this latest recovery came as a surprise tomost sheep men and it will be interestingto see if it is maintained at this week'ssale. The supply of store lambs u fastfalling off, while purchasers are not show-ing the same keenness as they were earlierin the season.

Facial Eczema.In most parts of the Waikato farmers

are experiencing fairly heavy losses intheir flocks through facial eczema, but thespread of this disease has, to some extent,been arrested by the dry weather and coldnights. Still many fanners will suffer aheavy loss owing to the high prices whichthey have had to pay for their sheep, andapparently once they Ret affected witheczema they are practically worthless.

"During the week a large number ofcattle fairs have been held in "the countrydistricts, and in every instance recordyardings have been offering. Prices havegreatly declined at almost each sale, andthe high standard set at Frankton a fewweeks ago has not been touched since, infact, grown cattle are £2 a head cheaperthan what they were at Frankton.

"Considerable business is still beingdone in in-calf heifers, and apparentlydairy farmers anticipate a record seasonas far as price is concerngd, some of thesales at present being made in the vicinityof £10.

"Dairy farmers who run pigs as a sideline have received an excellent return thisseason, and at Frankton on Tuesday primebaeoners showed a further increase of 1/per pig, which now makes the top price£4 6/."

Westfletd Prices Easier.A better supply of all classes of fat

stock at Westfield "yesterday resulted in ageneral decline in prices. Beef was down1/ to 2/ per 1001b, choice ox being quotedup to 39/ per 1001b. Mutton was alsoeasier, owing to the heavy supply, butlambs had a ready sale at firm rates.Calves were steady at last week's reducedvalues, and pips failed to maintain therising trend of the past few sales.Baeoners were little changed in price,while porkers were slightly easier. Follow-ing is the range of prices, together ■withlast week's:—

May Race In U.S.A.ELANAGE PLANS.

PROJECTED VISIT.

DEPENDENT ON SYDNEY CUP.

OWNER OFFERED SOOOGNSFOR COLT.

.Mr. M. Steinberg, Elanage's owner, is anAmerican with largo business interests in2sew- Zealand. He staled in Melbourne to•'Cardigan" recently that if Klanage shouldwin the Sydney Cup it was probable, thatat the end of the year he would scud thecolt to the I'nited States to race.

Mr. Steinberg is a New Yorker, and,although Klanage might race on the I'acitic(Oast, it is probable that most of his rac-ing in the I'nited States would be on theEast Coast, at. such meetings as Heliuontand Saratoga in the good-class races.

Mr. Steinberg said that Klanage wouldtackle Hun in the A..J.C. St. I.eger on thefirst day nf the autumn meeting at Kalld-wick. and he was hopeful of success.Klanage was not entered for the V.K.C. St.Loner.

Klanage will not be over-raced and willbe very carefully prepared for the Sydney(up. His owner (jives lull marks to .lackFryer for the capable manner in which hehas brought Klanage to his best and themanner in which he has caused the colt tohold liin condition for such a long period.

Klanajtc was bred iit Koatanui Stud, nearWariganui, l>y George Currie, anil howas purchased as a yearling by his presentowner for 275g5. As he lias been offeredoOOOrh for the colt and hns won some thou-sands in stakes is already a veryprofitable purchase. If lie happened to wina rich American race he would be valuableas a sire, as he is bred on attractive lines.

I asked Mr. Steinberg the meaning ofElanagc'rt curious niitne. He eaid: "It itsreally a coined name and meaningless, butit sounds all right. The word elan meansardour, eagerness, or ilasli, and is derivedfrom the French word elancer, whirl)means to dart. As the colt's dam isImpetuous, that accounts for the Elanpart of his name, while as his sire isPosterity, the 'nge' is self explanatory,hence the coined name of Elnnage."

STABLE AND TRACK NOTES.SCOTLAND TO SPELL.

Aβ the reeult of the indifferent formshown by Scotland recently it has beendecided to give him a lengthy spell, andhe is to be turned out in the Rotoruadistrict.

TO GO TO SYDNEY.Although Hua was withdrawn from the

Lloyd Stakes on the last day of the recentFlemington meeting, he will definitely visitSydney for the autumn racing. Thisannouncement waa made by his trainer,James Scobie. "After a day or two of restHun is already beginning to pick up,"Scobie said. "I have withdrawn him fromthe Lloyd Stakes because he has already-had five hard races, whereas his chief rival,Ajax, has had only two. I will give hima brief rest, and he should be in top formfor the St. Leger at Randwick." Scobieeaid he had the greatest regard for Elanage,who beat Hua in the King's Plate. Hebelieves, however, that a recovery of hisbest form would enable Hua to turn thetables in the Sydney Leger.

IMPORTANT ISSUES.Considerable interest is being taken in

this week's meeting of the executive com-mittee of the. New Zealand Racing Confer-ence, which will be held in Wellington.The business to be dealt with includes theallocation of two permits recently aban-doned by \\ nnin'illc and the appointmentof a. stipendiary steward to fill the vacancycaused by the death of Mr. N. McLean,who was stationed in the South Island. Nodoubt there will be several claimants tothe abandoned permits, and it is under-stood there ia no lack of applicants for thevacant situation.

A SPORTING ACTION.Olianga'e owner must be given credit for

a sporting action in starting him in theOpunako Cup in preference to the .Presi-dent h Handicap, as he was meeting.Naughty -Marietta on inucli woiseternus 1.1the Liip race (says tliu "Taranaki News' J.Though weighted at 7.0, Ohanga carried'iA'/s, while .Naughty■ Marietta, with anapprentice allowance,, carried 7.0. Hadbotli started in the President's Handicapboth could have claimed allowances andOhanga would have received tlb'from hierival and met her on actuaiiy a stone betterterms than- they met under in the Cup.Nevertheless, Ohanga won, not because thehandicapper was so much'at fault, as thatOhanga was the better ridden of the pair.Dowrick realised that, the pace was slowand made his move smartly half a mile fromhome. Naughty Marietta, the beet etayerin the race, should not have been at thetail of the field when the pace was littlebetter than a hand canter. Her rider neverappeared to size up the situation until itwas too late, but even then he just failedto get up.

ENGLISH DERBY FAVOURITE.Portmarnoek, top of the weights for the

Free Handicap (England), has beeninstalled as. a winter -favourite for theEpsom Derby of 1938. Portinainoek (byFairway) once more directs attention tothe important positions in which horses ofthe Roi Herotle line have figured in Knglishracing in recent years, in many eases'thisline lias produced the speed, if not tfiestamina, of noted winners. The Derbywinner of 1936. Mnhmoud, is out of MahMahal, by Gainsborough out of theflying Mumtaz Mahal, a daughter of TheTetrarch. The sensational grey horse wasalso the sire of the grandam of Portinar-nock. The Tetrarch sired the leading two-year-old Tetratema (1919), Mumtaz Mahal(1923) and The Satrap (1920). Tetratema,a great sire of speed, has carried on thetradition, for he sired the individual two-year-old champion of 1928, J!)32 and 193C.They were unbeaten Tiffen, Myrobella andForay. Taliir (one of the best juveniles of1937) is also by Tetratema; and MumtazMahal is the dam of Mirza J 1., regarded asbeing little below Portmarnoek in 1937.There is no doubt that mares of the KoiHerode line are of great stud value. JnNew Ze;il;.iid and Australia stayers as wellas sprinters have come from, this line.

WILLIE WIN RECOVERED.Willie Win lias thrown off the muscle

soreness that has been hampering himsince he returned from Australia andworrying his trainer, Mrs. .). Campbell.The climatic change and blood disorderthat followed is said to have been respon-sible for his trouble. Kaster is not so faraway, and Willie Win's chief mission willbo the Great Autumn Handicap at Riecar-ton, a race he won last year under 7.13.Possibly bo will have his run on the firstday in the Sockbiirn Handicap over ninefurlongs, a race be also won last year. Theother alternative will b< , to start him inthe Great ICastcr. Not that Mrs. Campbellhas kept her charge in idleness since heciimn buck from Australia in November.

'He has been hacked about in the middleat Kiccarton daily and is well muscled.Another thing is lii.-i favour is that he doesnot require a great deal of fast work toreach lining pitch. It.'fore being runner-up in this season's Melbourne Cup WillieWin had proved himself one of the besthandicap hms.s in N'cw Zealand, and afew itiillcipH idinuld Willi: o I > show whether11.- is the Willie Win of (M. TemponinuMi-tally the Australian l>i|> has done himgood. I'l'oiu now on his work is likely tobe of a more serious nature, and his pro-gress will arouse general interest. It is apity that it has not bren pntwibl? to givehim a few races before tackling the milennd a half in the Great Autumn, but histun on the first day should provide anexcellent guide to his prospects.

WAS IT. A RECORD?Regular iJnchcloi- nn six furlongs at

Heuunjrtiin last Saturday in J.OVi, and thiswas chinned in the cable message as anAustralian and New Zealand record. SilverScorn ran six furlongs in the Middle ParkI late at Kiccarton in I!C« in l.!> 2-j, whichbeat the then existing nTi.nl. In timing1.1 Australia quaiters of seconds fcavcalways 1,,.,., i iixc-il. wliile in New Zealandhtths eii secoiHls have been used. It isdlfllciilt tlicielnle In niakf decisive toni-imriwnn, hut it has t,, 1,,, advanced thathalf a second is slower than two-filths of asecond, and under that condition. SilverScorns figures uilixt Kland an the record.

NAMES CLAIMED.A colt hv Friday Xiglit from CJreylassdam of (ircy Honour, has been named Bij;tiunie, and a colt |>y Frftluy Niglit fromHonours Lass, a sister to Grey Honour,

has had the name of Game Bird claimedfor him. A yearling colt by from(■reylass has been naiiu'd Ure>*" Niu'htKo.val I'ii-t has been claimed for a two-year-old Idly by (ape Horn from PrincessI at. dam of Lady Pain, Cape Hoyul andtape \ork. Princess l\,t was sold at theKemball dispersal sale, served by (apeHorn, to Mr. A. S. lliggs for !>figs, andKnyal I'at was taken over last year by Dr.M. (!. Louisson and is now in" T. Lloyd'sstable at JJiccarton.

HER FIRST SUCCESS.It was fitting that Golden Orchid should

win her lust race at Opunuke last Satur-day, for her dam. ilonalof. was trained ontlie course and was an Opunake Cup win-ner. Golden Orchid's performance in theJuvenile was full of merit, for she hadconsiderable ground to make up after asomewhat slow start. However, her splen-did finish augurs well for her future pros-pects, and it would not be surprising tohnd her racing successfully over middle dis-tances. Her trainer. K. Jirough, is enjoy-ing a welcome change of luck, for withNaughty Marietta. Daisy (.Sain and GoldenOrchid lie has led in six winners duringthe last two months.

A PROMISING HACK.The Hawera trainer R. BrcMigh has a

promising hack in Daisy Chain, who wonthe Klectiic Handicap in attractive fashionat Opimake last Saturday. This was afive-fllllolljl event, and Daisy Chain receivedall the worst of a somewhat strati in"start. She was still anything but handilyplaced nt the straight entrance, but thenunwound a grent run on the outside towin narrowly, but well. It was an out-standing performance on a saucer-likecourse like that at Opimake. Daisy Chain,who appears well above the average, shouldnot be long in winning her way out ofhacks. She is a six-year-old mare by Tai-toru's sire. Sandstar. from a Calfnghanmare, who is stated to be closely related toBonopjie. who was a good splinter someyears back.

BROKEN DOWN.Bay Duke broke down last week and

may be off the scene for the rest of the'season. Tauramai has also broken downagain after only three weeks' light exer-cise and lie will not be persevered with,

RETIREMENT LIKELY.Cuddle lias probably run her last rare

(states the Wellington "Post"); Afterthe recurrence of joint trouble whiledoing her final gallops for the WanganiiiCup she has been thrown out of train-Jng, and it is very unlikely that any"further attempt will be made tp pre-| p:ire her for racing. There is-just anjoff chance that she'will-return to"herbox next spring, but it is so remote thather trainer, T. R. George, saidrecently that one might write linjs toher notable career. She has done suffi-cient, however, to be named among thefirst ten. if not among the first five,queens of the Australian and New Zea-land turf. In stake winnings onlyDesert Gold. Carlita, Wakeful andGladsome appear to have earned moreamong the spy.

WHEEL AND TRACK NOTES.

LADY CHILDEWOOD ARRIVES.Lady Childevvooil. West Australian cham-

pion i>iccr. has arrived at fromPerth*to compete at the inter-Dominionchampionship at Kaster. She is in chargeof her owner-driver, Mr. R. Bradley, and isstationed at Edinburgh Lodge, Addington.At the last inter-Dominion championships,held at Perth, Lady Childewood enteredthe final with more points to her creditthan any other ruilner, but. owing to indis-position her owner was unable to drive her.and she was pocketed throughout the run-ning. On a Perth track her best mile rateis 2.10, but it is expected that she will pacemuch faster at Addington.

A CLASS YOUNGSTER.Shadow Son won the Timaru TrottingClub's Nursery Stakes on his merits on

Saturday, and the manner in which hecame home to record 32 3-os for the con-cluding two furlongs stamped him as a

juvenile. His sire, Red Shadow,won thn Great Northern Derby Stakes in1!WO, and trained on to win a number ofimportant races, including a New ZealandTrotting Cup anil a Free-Koi-All. BothRed Shadow and Shadow Son were bredby Mr. .1. Bryue, who stil! owns them. Jnview of Shadow Sun's soli<l display onSaturday it is a pity lie was not nomi-nated for the Xeiv Zealand Sapling Stakes.His victory marked .1. Bryce'w nineteenthsuccess in classic events since lie came toNew Zealand.

AMERICAN PACER RESUMES.The American pacer Bill B has joined J.

Brycc'fi stable. Kver since the colt nearlycollapsed after a race at New Brighton inOctober lie has been under observation bymedical men and veterinarian* for hearttrouble. At that time a graph was taken.and it revealed a weakness, but a veteri-nary surgeon said that the condition wasdue to an affected liver, which respondedto treatment. The horse was given a.goodrest, and his condition has improved con-siderably. Recently, another veterinaryexamined Bill B. and attributed his troubleto another cause, which is curable. Thehorse looks n't and well, and will be givena careful preparation. Jf lie comes righthe will .soon reward his owner for hispatience and his outlay.

MAY BE RETIRED.A Southland writer eays there is a sug-

gestion that Willow Wave may be retiredfrom racing altogether, and spend the re-mainder of his days at Rivers-dale, wherehe Mas born. Many of the bent pacershave been retired only to be brought bade,and as Willow Wave is as sound as everin wind and limb, it may be premature toannounce his retirement. During hiscareer he has won 17 races, has been secondon nine occasions, and seven tin)en third.Since August last he has won the Auck-land Trotting Cup. Champion Handicap,and Dunedin Cup, and his total stake earn-ings are £6073. His present two-mileniark stamps him as one of the best stayersin the Dominion, and. with rich prizes onoffer in races he is likely to contest, hemay add to his already good record.

HARDER RUGBY.

COMMENT FROM OTAGO.

"A DANGEROUS STATEiIENT."

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)DUXKDIX, this day.

"It is a dangerous statement to make,"commented Mr. V. O. Cnvanajjh. ;i mem-ber of the management committee of theOlajjo Rugby Football I'liion. in cviticM-ing the plea of Mr. A. A. Hakcr. chairmanof the Auckland l'tisb.v UninnVi inanatjp-ment committee, for mure strenuousRiiKliy in the Dominion.

Mr. t'livanaiili said it was difficult tointerpret tin , meaning <it the word "hard"used by Mr. Baker, but whatever the-conception placed on the word, he wasdefinitely of the opinion .that football inXew Zealand was played too hard. How-ever, it lacked method, and by "hard' ,

he meant that generally no questionabletactics were involved, the game beino;contested in traditional sportin<r spirit.Unite tactics, however, were not wanted.and if parents took that conception ofMi". Baker's views there would be ninnyparents who would hold that Rugby underthose conditions was no game for theirsons to play, and thnt was where hisexpression of opinion became dangerous.

The Next Olympic GamesIN TOKYO.

DECISION STANDS.

JAPANESE SATISFIED.

DOUBT OF BRITISH SUPPORT.

HAVE THE GAMES CEASED TOFITUni. THEIR PURPOSE ?

(Received J).30 a.m.)

CAIRO, March 10.Tlip International Olympic Council has

decided that the 10+0 Olympic Games willbe held at Tokyo, as had previously beenarranged.

The decision was reached after therejection of tile C'liineee motion that the(iiimivi should be allotted to anothercountry.

The council felt, after receiving Mr.KanoVi assurance that Japan was ready tocarry out the games, that it could notdepart from tile original charter to Japan.

The dates fixed are from October 21 toNovember 10, in response to the Japanesesuggestion to avoid the heat and humidityof August. England, America and Francoo|i|nit?ed the change from AuiiiiHt. whichwould exclude the univernitic*. The coun-cil stipulated that Tokyo's InternationalExhibition must be closed a month beforethe Olympics.

In Tokyo there is widespread satisfac-tion at the decision. The chairman, Mr.Takashigoh, expressed- regret that thechange of date would affect Anglo-American students.

A niet#sai{<* from ]yondon says tliatLord Burgh ley, the British chairman,cli'clinen to comment on tin- statement inFebruary by Mr. H. I,'. I'ash, a memberof the executive committee of the AmateurAthletic Association, that the asHociation\\iie unanimous that if the 1940 Olympiadwne Iwld in Tokyo it should not receivetin- support of British competitors.

Judging by the A.A.A. attitude it isthe opinion that.there will l>,. little Britishsupport for the (James. Kiutlid more, inview of international events many clubsare taking the line that the Games haveconewl to fulfil the original purpose andshould bo dineontinned. 'J'he (iamee havecitme to be regarded as a gigantic adver-tisement for promoting a country. Somecompetitors are trained at public expenseto maintain national, rather than thesporting reputation of their country.

The remcxly appears to be in Britain con-fining herself to friendly matches withAmerica, Scandinavia and other civilisedcountries. Such a British example wouldhave a wonderful effect.

It was decided to increase the numberof teams in the senior division from 6ixto ten. .

The method of playing championships.and knock-out competitions caused alengthy discussion. Jt was decided thattwo rounds should be played unless atthe end of the first round the table showedtoo great a disparity between the teame

If this were the case the board woulddivide the division into two sections, forwhich trophies would be provided.It wae decided to commence the cham-

pionship games on April 23. Owing tothe increased number of teams in thesenior division intricate work would benecessary in an endeavour to meet therequirement* of playing home-and-awaymatches. With the Easter holiday periodintervening it was decided to close entriesfor all divisions above the third inter-mediate grade on April 5.

The personnel of the New ZealandCouncil was discussed when advice wasreceived that the annual meeting of theNew Zealand Football Association wouldbe held in Wellington on April 8. Severalspeakers referred to the methods adoptedwhereby a major association like Aucklandwas not represented on the council. Itwas decided to forward a remit proposingthat the present method of election tothe council should be abolished, and thatthe council should be comprised of directrepresentation of the various associations.

Messrs. L. Munro and W. J. Lyon,M.P., were appointed to represent Auck-land at the annual meeting of the NewZealand Association.

The resignation of Mr. W. Morris,owing to business and ill-health, was re-gretted by the chairman and members ofthe board. Eulogistic reference was madeto the services rendered by Mr. Morrisover a number of years. Mr. H. C. Cablewas appointed to fill the vacancy.

It wae reported that arrangements hadbeen completed with the Auckland Bands'Association for the use of Blandford Parkon alternate Sundays for massed band per-formances. The use of Blandford Park nextSaturday for practice matches was grantedto the Grey Lynn United Club.

MARTIN WINS.

BOWLING CHAMPION.

DEFEAT OF CONNEW.

RAPID RISE OF FINALISTS.

Two matches in ideal weather com-pleted the annual champion of championstournament of the Auckland BowlingCentre yesterday afternoon. The winwas a great victory for J. S. Martin, thenew champion of Ellerslie, who is a com-paratively recent arrival, after a stronuouecontest with Arthur Connew, who is inhis second eeaeon at Mount Albert. Bothfinalists have jumped into the limelightthis year, as probably no two new arrivalshave ever done before. Connew won theopen singles of the Auckland Centre inDecember, and Martin won the champion-ship paire a fortnight ago, with no previouspublic appearances except in pennantmatches and a few email tournaments.

Onlookers appeared to be fully satisfiedwith the pleasure of watching strenuouscontests in the afternoon, which they hadexpected with confidence after what theyhad ,«een in the morning, for Martin haildefeated G. A. Deare (Mount Eden), theDominion champion rink ekip of 1931, ina match which was generally voted thefinest exhibition and tho closest contestthat could possibly be staged, and in thenext round he had Rone down to Connewby 21 to 11. By an unusual coincidencethe automatic draw caused in the after-noon an exact repetition of the morningprogramme, so far as Martin was con-cerned, but the games themselves werequite different.

When Martin met Deare a eeoond timethere waa no neck and neck struggle as inthe morning, for he started by gettingeight on the first four heads, partly owingto Denre's bad luck in driving "on thesecond head, when he picked out his ownsecond shot, to turn one down to threedown. The fifth saw several changes.When Deare lay shot Martin trailed thejack for three. Deare drove out two ofthem, and when Martin drew a secondDeare drove the jack into the ditch forshot. Thereafter the. play was much

more even, Deare notching two moresingles, which narrowly escaped Martin'sruns, but in the next Martin drove thejack into the ditch when j)eare was lyingtwo. Deare held shot on the tenth, andwhen Martin pushed him out he trailedthe jack for two, getting another two witha run on the next head. Martin saved abad position on the twelfth with his lastbowl, but his run miesed Deare's twoshots on the next, and on the fourteenthhe successfully jaoinoted his shot bowlfor two.

The fifteenth was the best of the wholegame. Martin had a toucher on the jack,and Deare gently removed it, Martinreplying by trailing for two, and thendrawing a third. Deare drove to countone. almost in the ditch, and Martintumbled over the kerb in an attepipt tobeat it, Deare receiving a round ofapplause by putting his last bowl on thejack for two. Martin missed his drive onthe sixteenth, to leace Deare two, to tiefor the first time, on 13-all. Two eachfollowed, and Deare's drive gave him oneon the next, to lead for the first andonly time, for Martin scored two on eachof the remaining heads.

A Great Final.Careful drawing and occasional trails

were_ the policy of both finalists, butMartin did not hesitate when a drive wason, and he killed the third head to gettwo drawn shots on the replay. Connew,on the other hand, mostly depended onthe draw, and surprised the bank byletting Martin count the whole four onthe seventh head, when he had a bowlthat appeared to only want turning overto save the lot. The draw usually paid,for he occasionally got inside one or twoof Martin's, and on the fourteenth heexecuted a beautiful trail for three, whentwo down. Martin counted on the nextthree heads, but Connew then drew twoshots, surprising the bank by not usingthe open hand for a third, and surprisingthem still more on the next, when hewae too narrow to save three with aperfect length. Three drawn shots on thetwentieth put him within four of Martin,but the latter held shot on the last, towin by five—2l—l6.

An interesting situation arose in theseventh round, when Deare met Sunde(Glen Eden), a regtolar competitor in thistournament. The latter courageously con-tinued when he wae nine down, with threeheads to play, backing his hopes by scor-ing two and three, and he receivedapplause and hearty laughter on burningthe jack in the last head when he eawno prospect of four for a tie! Deare heldtwo on the replay, and Sunde missed hiedrive.

The concluding results were:—Eighth Round. .

(All one-lifere.)A Connew (Mount Albert), a bye.J. S. Martin (Ellerelie) 19, v. G. A.

In the final C. Garrett (Hendereon) 18,beat R. Dyson (Hallyburton Johnstone)13.

The trophies were presented by Mr. E.W. Inder, vice-president of the centre,who thanked the Carlton and BalmoralClubs for providing such excellent greene,and all the officials who had eo gener-ously helped, particularly Mr. G. W. A.Clark, the Balmoral secretary, for controll-ing the first-year contest on Tuesday. Hewarmly congratulated the four finalistsin euch important events, and the latterrepjied with taanke for an enjoyabletournament.

Among the spectators during part ofthe tournament were the members of theCanadian rink who competed in theEmpire Games and the Australian car-nival: A. S. Reid, R. Adam, J. Flemingand R. Gray. They have been touring theDominion for about a month, including aweek at Rotorua, and will return to Van-couver by the Aorangi next Tuesday.

"GIG-LAMPSIS MISSING."

IT is funny how there are pome thingsyou never stop to think about untilyou miss them.

Alt', for instance, not being particu-larly observant, is not likely to haveseen the bits of broken glass on the seatif he hadn't found the carriage emptywhen lie expected to find someone insidejust as usual.

I moan, he wouldn't have thought iolook for the glass it something hadn'tmade lilin think for once, and then therewould have been a charge of higatnvsome time or other and.maybe a murder.

The train I'm talking about, tho onewhich had the empty <vrriage that wasa shock to Alf. pets, in to us at ten-eleven most nights, though it's due a(

ten-nine, and. what with being laic nnda sTow from Lower (Irecnwood thatstops on the siding just outside thestation for a bit to let the niylit mailthrough, it's not popular.

Which, also, it's not meant to lip.being run only to bring, the carriagesback for tire morning.. So I don't Sakemore than half a dozen tickets any time.

By. . .

SANFORDLOCKBut there is one I always get Mon-

days to Fridays, and that's from a quiet,soft-spoken little woman who wears alarge pair of (spectacles that are real"gig-lamps." She has them made in thenew pink frames and they make herlook odd. since they are perched on topof onlv four feet ten inches.

I know that's her height because shewanted to see over my barrier one dayand couldn't, not even on her dies, andtold me sho was "two inches 10-s thanthe length of a tape measure, .Mr. Hath-away."

She always speaks like that, sort ofprecise and a little as though she's shy.which means that she doesn't tell usiiiikli about herself and alm<i<t all weknow after live years of seeing her isthat she goes to (Ireenwood at-middayto work and corner! buck here to sleep.

She remembers also Christmas andRaster, so that Alf. having little to dowhen the train comes in. manages toii|k>ii lier door for her with a flourishthat she takes as a friendly pat on1 lie back and for which she says,"Thank yon, Alf."

And if he's not at tlie <loor of thefirst compartment in the second car-riage, which is where ehe alwaystravels, the moment the train stojie. .she manage* to fumble, picking upher belongings until he arrives so thatnobody is disappointed, not even Alf.

And then this week, she wasn't thereone night. The compartment's emptywhen Alf flings open the door and thesurprise is so much for him that hestands and gapes for a moment beforeusing, a word he's addicted to. a wordthat helps to .set him thinking.

"Murder." he «:iys ami slams the doorand starts shufllinjr across Ihe platformto me to pay, "She, * not there."

"Who's not?" I ask, not thinking fora moment.

"'fiijr-lnnips.' Sam." he explains in avoice that made you think he wasn'tbelieving himself,

"Then she's missed the train. Alf." Itell him.

"Rut she doesn't ever miss it." hesays, which is rii/ht enough, and off hegoes to have a fresh look, thinking- shemay have been in another carriage foronce. But he can't see her anywhereon the platform, so he opens the doorof her u.sual carriage again and climbsinside, where he pokes his nose aboutand sniffs a bit and suddenly he calls meacross. He's found some bite of glasson the seat. ,

"Murder.'' he repeats, holding themup for me to see. "She's been done in.Sam. That's what it is. These are her'gig-lamps.' "

"And her body's under the seat. Tsuppose,' , I tell him. "You'd betterlook."

"I have. Sam." he says, but he goesdown on his hands and knees ncain andstarts scratching, about on the flooruntil hi.s hands are covered in dust andall he's found is two peanut shells thatcan mean nothing. At least, not so faras M'i=r "Ciig-lamps" is concerned, so Ttell him flint what he wants to find isfinger-prints.

All detectives look for finger-prints.I add. and he takes me seriously, put-tins his own dusty ones all over thedoor handle and then not knowingwhich is which, before taking a peepat the inside of the windows to seewhether the criminal loft his trade-mark there. Suddenly he gets allexcited.

"Look, Sam." he =ay>. and points ton bit of stomn on (ho glass that hasn'tdried off. though the door's been open-some time.

All I can see at firs) written in thesteam is a couple of lines where a flymight have walked, hut Alf reckons itmeant something.

SHORT STORY

He becomes convinced it is a messagefor him left by Miss "(Jig-lamps," whoknew he would open the -door for her.

* * * *

After that he wanders off for an hour,nnd when he comes hack I'm irritable,not having been able to find the sugar.

'"Where you been?" I a.sk him.'"Preventing a murder, Sam," he says

proudly."That's no excuse for going off like

that." 1 tell him.'"Yes. it is. Sam." he retorted. "I

saved the life of Miss '< Jig-lamI*. , onlyher name's Mrs. Brown, and all byintoo-ition."

'"Xo wonder it took so long. Alf." Iget a chance to say. "I suppose yourintoo-ition fold you'that the scratchingon the window marked the <*pot wherethe body was found."

"Thai's just it, Sam." he replies."The square that was drawn in thesteam was the side of a cattle truck.and the ci;rly bits above were the hornsof a cow. I found a truck and a cow.Sam, in the siding where the ten-ninestops to let the mail through, and whenT climbs up the side and looks in. there'sMrs. Brown lying on the floor all tiedup.

"'Murder,' T <»ays to her. Sam. like Talways do. taking a gag out of hermouth. 'Not quite. Alf, but it iniphthave been.' she replies to me, and adds,'That dreadful brute. .

" 'Sh<* seeme a nice quiet cow,, T tellher. and add that T got her message.

" 'Not the cow,' says Mrs. Brown,'but the man who put me here. Whatmessage, Alf?'

"So I explain to her ahnut the draw-ing in the steam on the window. Sam,and that she ought to have pone to ArtSchool, and all she can say is that shenever could draw, and what was I talk-ing about?

"I'm al>ont to tell her. when ehe saveshe's no time to listen, and that there'ssomething I must do for her; that is.help her out of tho -(ruck and across theroad where I've 2:°t to find a oar for her.

"T get an empty taxi and she's ahoutio o-pt in when she tolls tho that I'dlicit or come along too. so I go and we

stop at a corner of a dark road aftergoing about a couple of miles, all theway of which she's lidjreting about inher corner, but saying nothing.

"A little way down this road J see acar parked. Sam. and so does Mrs.Brown. It makes her so excited that.she jumps out almost before we'vestopped and starts running towards it.She's just about reached it and I'mluinlHTing up behind when I see a girlcarrying a suitcase come out of a gardenpate and uo up to a fellow standingin the shadows. She savs something tohim that sounds like 'John, I thoughtI'd never pot away.'

"'Neither you will.' says Mrs. Brown'that's mv husband.'

"And he must have lx>en. Sam. for hepave one look whore the voice camefrom and gets in his car and drives off.

"When she's feelinjr better, she andMrs. Brown have a heart-to-heart talkand then_L'm brought back in the taxi,where I'm told all that's beenhappening.

"Mrs. Brown's coming up in the trainas usual when this hlnke who's her hus-band that sho hasn't seen for years,pets in unexpectedly also. They pettalking and quarrel a bit. and he l>oaststhat he's off with some other girl,lie even shows her a ring he's got on hisfinpor which the girl gives him nndwhich Mrs. Brown roeopnisos as bolonp-inp to this Dorothy she knows, so shotells him that it has Lrr>t fo stop.

"'Oh. no. it hasn't." he says, "notuntil I've had my bit of fun.' And asMrs. Brown looks like screaming hepags her and ties her up just as thotrain stops in the aiding. There's thiscattle truck alongside their window, sohe opens the door and manages to pushher into it. The train moves on apainbefore he can pet back, so he cuts offacross the field to the road."

"So it was her broken glasses," I (sayto Alf. impressed.

"Her Masses all right." says Alf."And tho drawing on the window?"

T ask him."Well." he says, "she doesn't exactly

remember nothing about that. But Tsay it was her self-conscious mindworking and my intoo-ition."

"Or your imagination." T answer."And why not. Sam.' , he finrl-

ing the .sugar. "What do all dotectivesdo. hut imapine a clue and then look forit."

Alf manages to open her door for her rviih a flourish
