I PUBLISHED BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT.

BY HAROLD BINDLOSS,5 AutJior of "Tho Impostor." "The Pioneer,"« "Hawtroy'e Deputy," etc

3 [ooPTKianT.]

SYNOPSIS.I Jake Prcsoott, ovrner of a wheat farm in, the Sebastian dioM-ict, Canada, goes.to see' Cyril Jernyngham, who has been injured

in a street brawl. Jornyngham. who is awastrel and has married a French-Canadiangirl with a trace of Indian blood in her.tells Proaeott that some English cousins

• are cominir to visit him. and that he does, not wish them to know how he lives nor to» meet his wife, of whom ho is reasonably

not very proud. Presoott agrees to . im-personate Jernyngham, and to entertainJcrnyngham's relations. Unknown to Preß-cott. the relatives brine with them a prettyEnglish girl, Muriol Hurst. Prescott meetsthe party and drives them out to his farm.

. They are struck with what they think tobo a great change in tho Jornynghamthey knew years before, and decide to stay

9 with him for an extended period.3•• ' J

CHAPTER lll.—(Continued.)I "Think'. Would it. bo fair to go? For

a month or two I might keep straight,' then—l've tried to describe my people- :

you can imagine their feelings at tho in-evitable outbreak. Besides, there's a

• more serious difficulty." Jernyngham'a) tense face relaxed into a grim smile.

"Can you imagine Ellico an inmate ofan English country house, patronising 'local charities, presiding over prim gar-den parties? Tho idea's preposterous.And that's not all."

Prescott, who knew little about Eng-* land, could imagine her making an unde-a. sirablo sensation in Montreal or Toronto.

"You force me to ask something. Isi she Mrs. Jornyngham?" he said, hesi-J tatingly.

"I used to think so; there's a doubtupon tho matter now."

"One would have imagined that was a. point you woald have been sure about."p "I understood her last husband was

dead when'we wore married in. Manitoba;eho was a waitress in a t.pcond-rate hotel.

3 Ihe brute had ill-used and deserted her,but now there's some reason to believe

* he's farming in Alberta. I haven't madeinquiries; I didn't think it would improvo

» matters."1 Prescott said nothing. In face of suchi a situation, any romarks that he could4 wake would be superfluous. There was a9 long sitence; and thou Jernyngham spoko

ogam, slowly,, but resolutely."You see how it is, Jake— my in-

• terest lies. Against that,_

there's thefeeling of my father and sister to con-sider. Then my reinstation would have tobo brought by casting off the woman whohas borne with my failings and stuck tome pluckily. I haven't sunk quite so far

J" as that. You'll have to tell Colston thatI'm staying/ here."

i- He got up, and Prescott, who wasmoved, laid a hand on his arm.

"It's hard; but you're doing tho fiquarothing, Cyril."

. Jornyngham shook off his hand. "Don'tlet us talk in that strain. Come and see

I Ellice and try to amuse hex*. Don't know. what's wrong with the woman; she has

been moody of late."' "I must get Back as soon as I can, and

I've somo business to do.""Oh, well," said Jornyngham, walking

II with him to tho bar, which was the quick-„ est way of egress.

On reaching it ho turned and glanced* about sardonically. The room was dark,

filled with fliea, and evil-smelling, as well» 03 thick with smoke, and half a dozen un-

tidy men leaned against the counter.3 "What a set of loafing swine you are!"

he coolly remarked. "It's not to thei point that I'm no better, but if any ofi you feel insulted, I'll.,be. happy to make* } what I've said good." ;

"Cut it out, Cyril. Can't have a circushero!" exclaimed the bartender.

j," You needn't be r afraid. They look

? pretty tame," Jernyngham rejoined, andfoing on to tho door, shook hands with

'rcscott." " Tell Colston he has my last words,"" ho'said.

Turning away, he proceeded to the un-tidy parlour where ho found Ellico dawd-ling over & paper. Her white summer

g> dress was stained in places and open atthe neck, where a button had come off.

# The short skirt displayed a hole in onestocking and a shoe from which a straphad been torn. Jernyngham leaned on thetable regarding her with a curious smile.

"What's Jake come about? "she asked."To say my fastidious relatives want

me to go home, which would.mean leavingyou behind."

She looked at him searchingly, andthen laughed. "And you won't go? "

~

"That's the message I sent."Ellice's face softened, though there wa3

a hint of indecision in it. "You're all*' right, Cyril, only a bit of a fool."• "A bit?" ho said drily. "I'm the

whole blamed hog. But enough of that.We'll pull out for the homestead to-

V morrow. I expect Wandlo is robbing' me."' "■•,-.•■'.■■

"He's been robbing you ever since youbought the farm. I don't know why your stopped me getting after him."

J "He Eaves me trouble," said Jernyng-ham, and they discussed the arrangements

*• for their return.Prescott, driving home, had a brief in-

terview with Colston, who realised withSome disappointment that his errand hadfailed. Then the fanner harnessed a fresh

' team and proceeded to a sloo where his* -Scandinavian hired man was cutting

prairie hoy. As it ; happened, Muriel5 went out on the prairie an hour or two

later and walked towards a poplar bluff,in the shadow of which she gathered ripered saskatoons, and then sat down to lookabout.

The dazzling blue of the sky was brokenby rounded masses of silver-edged cloudsthat drove along before a fresh north-west breeze. Streaked by their speedingshadows, the great plain stretched away,chequered by.ranks of marigolds and tail

"J crimson flowers of the lily k,nd thatq. swayed as the rippling grasses changedc- colour in the wind. A mile or two dis->* tant stood the trim wooden homestead,£ with a tall windmill frame close by, girtj. by broad sweeps of dark-green wheat and10 oats. Theso were interspersed withe- stretches of uncovered soil, glowing a?? deep chocolate-brown, which she knew

was the summer fallow resting after ala cereal crop. Beyond tho last stripo* of rich colour there spread, ■ shining?* delicately bluo, a great field' of flax;g and then the dusky green, of al-id falfa and alsike for the Hereford'*" cattle standing knee-deep in , a littleH flashing lake. The prairie, she thought,c . was beautiful in summer; its widenessly was bracing, one was stirred into opti-id mistic cheerfulness and bodily vigour by

tho rush of its fresh winds. She felt sheid could remain contentedly at the home-id stead for some time; and then herft thoughts • centred on its owners' This was perhaps why she rose and0 . strolled on towards the sloo, though she11- would not acknowledge that she actuallyor wished to meet him. The man was some-n. thing of an enigma and therefore roused

in her an interest which was stronger be- jar cause of some of the things she had heardr to his discredit. Following the rows of6 wheel-marks, she brushed through the wildje barley, whoso spiky heads whipped heris- dress, passed a chain of glistening ponds,'*• a bluff wrapped in blue shadow, and finally

descended a low slope to the basin at itsfoot where the melting snow had run in

"" spring. Now it had dried and was covered11. with tall grass which held many flowers.

and fragrant wild peppermint.30 A team of horses and a tinkling mowerJy moved through its midst, and at one edge

Prescott was loading the grass into a wag-gon. Engrossed as he was in his task, hedid not notice her, and she stood a while

B. watching him. He wore no jacket; thethin yellow shirt, flung open at the neck

- and tightly belted at the waist, and brown0. duck trousers, showed ■ the lithe grace of

his athletio figure. His poise and swingjs, were admirable, and he was working with

determined energy, his face and uncoveredamis the warm colour of the soiL \

twinkle. 'lf this man had ever been arake his reformation must have beendrastic and complete, because.although shehad a very limited acquaintance with loose-livers, it was reasonable to conclude thatthey must wear some sign of indulgenceor sensuality. The former bore no stampof either. He showed his pleasure at herappearance,

, ■ .~

""You have had quite a w*lk, he said."If you will wait while I put up theload, I'll take you back." .....-'■_.

Muriel sat down and watched him ilingthe grass, in heavy forkfuls on to thegrov.ing pile, until at last he clamberedup upon the frame supporting it and pull-ing some out and ramming the rest back,proceeded to excavate a hollow. '.

"What are you .doing?" she asked."Making a nest for you," he told her

with a laugh. " Now, if you'll get up.While she mounted by the wheel #he

stood on tho edge of the waggon, leaningdown towards her. Thero did not seemto be muc'- foothold, the grass lookedslippery, ana the hollow he had made wasbeyond her reach, but she seized the handhe held out and he swung her up. For amoment his fingers pressed tight upon Herwaist, and then she was safe in the hol-low, smiling at him as he found a precari-ous seat upon the rack.

"You couldn't see how you were goingto get up, but you didn't hesitate, hesaid with a soft laugh, when ho hadstarted his team. ■ "

. .

"No," she said. " Somehow, you inspireone with confidence. I didn't think youwould lot me fall."

"Curious, isn't it?" he asked, regard-ing her with twinkling eyes.

She reclined in the hollow among thegrass which yielded to her limbs in a waythat gave her a sense of voluptuous ease.Her pose, although scarcely a conven-tional one, showed to advantage the finecontour of her form, and the lilac-tinteddress that flowed in classic lines about hermade a patch of cool restful colour oathe warm ochre of her surroundings. Itwas easy to read the man's admiration inhis glance, and she became suddenly filledwith mischievous daring.

"Cyril," she said, "you are either anexcellent actor, or else—""I has been maligned. Is that what

you meant?"" I think I did mean something of the

kind.""Then I'm a very poor actor. That

should settle the question."" I've wondered how you became so very

Canadian," she rejoined thoughtfully."What's tho matter with tho Cana-

dians ."Nothing. I haven't met very many

yet, but on the whole I'm favourablyimpressed by them. They're direct, blun-ter, and perhaps less complex than weare."

"No trimmings," ho suggested. "Theydon't muss up good material so that itcan hardly be recognised. You can tellwhat a man is when you see him or hero;him talk."

, "I don't know," Muriel said mischiev-ously. "I've an idea that it might hodifficult, even in Canada."

He let this pass. "What do you thinkof the country?"

• She glanced round. It was late in theafternoon and a little cooler than it hadbeen. Half the plain lay in shadow, buttho light was cimously sharp. She couldsee a clump of ragged jack-pines on asandhill miles away, and a little lake thattwinkled in the remote distance. Thepowerful 'Clydesdale horses ploddedthrough short crackling scrub; a fine scentof wild peppermint floated about her. -•

"Oh!6 she said, "it's delightful, andeverybody's energetis.. You move with aspring and verve, and I don't hear anygrumbling, though there seems to bo somuch to do."

"And to bear now and then—cropswiped out, I've lost two of them.

Thework never slackens, except in winter,when you sit shivering beside the stove,if you're not hauling m building logs orcordwood through the Arctic frost. Atnight it's deadly silent, unless there's ablizzard howling; the plains are verylonely when the snow lies deep. Don'tyou think you're better off in England,taking it all round?"

Ho laid respectful fingers on ■ the hemof her skirt, touching the fin© material, asif. appraising its worth. "Our wheat-growers' wives and daughters are lucky ifthey've a couple of moderately smartdresses, but I suppose yon have severaltrunks full of things like this. That andthe kind of life it implies must, count forsomething." . ,"I believe I have," said Muriel with

candour, answering his - steady inquiringglance."Still, I've felt that, we drift along fromamusement to amusement in a purposelessway, doing nothing that's worth while.There might come a time.'when one wouldgrow horribly tired of it.""It must come and bring trouble then.

Here one goes on from task to task, eachone bigger and more venturesome than thelast acre added to acre, a gasoline tractorto the horse-plough, another quarter-sec-tion broken. Mind and body taxed allday and often half the night. One can'tsit down and mope.'

This was, she thought, a curious speechfor a man who had been described as care-less, extravagant, and a little dissolute;but he was getting too serious' and shelaughed.

"You were energetic enough in Eng-land, if reports are true. I've oftenthought of your right-of-way adventure.It must have been very dramatic whenyou appeared at the garden party coveredwith fresh tar."

"Sounds- like that, 1 doesn't it ?" hecautiously agreed. "How do they tellthe tale ?

" ■"Something like this—you wore at the

Hall with Geoffrey when the townspeoplewere clamouring about Sir Gilbert's, clasing the path through the wood, and foisome reason you assisted them in attack-ing the barricade. It had been well tarrocas a defensive measure, hadn't it ? Theryou returned, triumphant, black from heacto foot, when you thought the guests hacgone, and plunged into the middle of tlwlast of them—Maud always laughs whenshe talks about it. Sir Gilbert was somewhere out of sight when you related th(rabble's brilliant victory, but he dashecout red in face when he understood ancnever stopped until he jumped into hLmotor. I don't think Geoffrey's, wife ha!forgiven you."

Prescott smiled. "Well," he said, "'must have, grown very staid since then.'

EDUCATION NOTES.t Bf. JSEHTOR*.

J Some; little dissatisfaction exists at. thef present time in tho outlying quarters of

the city over the lack of accommodation1 at the adjacent primary school*. In this

connection, our local Education Board has; a difficult problem to solve, for thiss Auckland of oars is growing at so rapid a

1 rate that it is by no means easy to satisfy- the resulting demands that are continually» being pressed upon the various local bodies.

' Owing to the increased facilities given bythe trams for cheap and rapid transit,

r there is a growing tendency for families' to move from the central part of the city3 outwards to the suburbs. The result ofJ this, movement of population is that while1 there is a certain amount of spare room

I in two or three of the city schools the ac--3 cqmmodation is taxed to the uttermost in* the suburbs.i ,r In reply to requests that are made by' the people of Newton, Ponsonby/or Eden" Terrace for more room in the nearest

school, or for new school buildings, theJ board replies that there is still room at' Nelson Street,. Napier Street or Beresford1 Street schools, and suggests that children

unable to secure admission to schools3 nearest home be sent to one of thosex named, a suggestion that finds very small

favour with those to whom it is made" and this for obvious reasons.

3 In country districts parents will allowr their children to walk two, three, and' even more miles to school without com-" plaint; but in town it is a very differentJ \ matter. For little ones, our town streets

* carry dangers that are non-existent alongcountry roads. The crowded traffic

. tram service, the numerous motor-cars andmotor-bicycles— our streets very un-

* safe travelling for children of five and six. iAnd as it is in the lower departments that IB the suburban schools are ; most over-crowded, it. is die smallest children that

I the board's suggestion would require towalk the farthest distance.

In deciding that it will not entertainjj the idea of a new school unless an area

of at least four acres is available, theT Education Board no doubt is laying down

a thoroughly sound policy. That area islittle enough for even a medium-sizedschool; the only pity is that playgroundr requirements were not thought about more

, when Auckland was young and when land. was cheap. But no matter what the diffi--5 culties may be in acquiring ground and! in

obtaining "funds for building or enlargingT schools, parents have a, right to ask thatt school accommodation shall be provided

1 within a reasonable distance and thatr thejr little ones shall not be called upon

to face needless dangers through having. to walk considerable distances along3 crowded streets.c In his recently-issued report on the Uni-

versity Colleges of New Zealand, Mr. G.s Hogben, Inspector-General of Schools,1 makes some interesting remarks on thet question of four university colleges asi against a central university. 'He saysi "It has been said that it was a mistakot to establish four University Colleges in6 New Zealand; that one central university

1 should have been set up, as in Sydney for"t New South Wales, and in Melbourne for

Victoria. To say this, is in my opinion1 to overlook the difference between the geo-i graphical conditions of the Dominion and7 those of the two Australian States referred3 to. If there were only one University

College in New Zealand, the people of the9 city and district in which it was situated9 would have far greater opportunities for', university education than those in other',■■■■ places, unless bursaries and ; scholarshipsr were provided sufficient in number ' andt amount to meet the cost of board and* travelling of those who have to live awayY from home to pursue their studies.■'■. ■ (Int the case-of those engaged in other occu-i pations during the 'day, some of whom

have relatives depending upon them, the*- amounts would have to be substantially3 increased in order to ptit them in as good* a position as they in now.) If we* assume that about two-thirds of the pre-' sent number of degree-diploma students* (about 1500 in all) are living at home,1 we should have, if there were onlyr one college, probably five-sixths"instead

; of one-third of the whole number of stu--1 dents who could not attend the university5 without leaving home, or, say, 760 more

students for whom board and travellinga expenses would have to be founds % But3 if the necessary allowances were made■:. to these 750 students they could hardlyI bo

>refused to the other 500 who wereliving away from home—that is, theyj*.' .would have to be paid to about 1250.

II students. At £SO per annum this would9 amount to £62,500 a year— than ther whole cost.of the four colleges now—-[' we should still have to provide in addi-•*■ tion the cost of staffing, maintaining, andv administering the central university, at a

, cost of £40,000 or £50,000 per annum.11 At the same time we should leave totallyl" unprovided- for the - whole ,body of part-■' time students, and to a large extent con--6 fine the immediate influence of the uni-

versity and its institutions to one city'" out of four.n : ;■ - .: ;

a "Evan if wo raised the standard of ad-£

mission to the university," says'.Mr. Hog-ben, "so considerably that we reduced thee number of students to one-half, we shouldII still have to provide from £25,000 to

£30,000 more than we have to providee now for the boarding expenses of students.e That this :is not desirable is shown bv as. comparison per 10,000 of the populationip receiving university education in New Zea-.;■ land and elsewhere, e.g., in Switzerland£ and in Wurteanberg (Germany), 28.4 pern 10,000 of the population are in attendanced at institutions of university rank. In Newd Zealand the proportion is only 18. Thee same argument applies to any single courseor.faculty; and if we find that the usualj. fees for any course of study' will furnish[6 the necessary. funds for carrying it on;,3 then the argument for, teaching that course$ at four university colleges, and not at onejg onlv, will be overwhelmingly strong. Thisia will be found presently to be specially

relevant to the courses in commerce andj in law. I assume, without further discus-

>» sion, that it is necessary to provide atlV each of the university colleges for arts,' science, and education.a ———

te At tho present time there are in the■4 four university colleges, about 270 stu-3, dents who are studying subjects in con-id nejction with the commerce course. Thejo salaries paid to the special lecturers in

these courses amount to about £B2O orto about £3 per student. In his reportMr. Hogben recommends a much improvedstaffing, with salaries totalling about £2600per annum. The New Zealand Society ofAccountants is at present contributing£IOO per annum to each college , towardsthe cost of providing lectures in account-ancy and kindred subjects. That is, the

©, society_

contributes in all £4OO per annum,. and this contribution earns a £ for £ sub-

sidy from the Government. Mr. Hogbenss suggests that if the foes were £lO 10s pere, annum the total amount eo collected—-sfc allowing for students in single subjects

might be expected to reach about £2400,,n which, with* the contribution from theit Society of Accountants, and the subsidyin from the Government, would give a grand

, total of £3200. This sum would leavesome margin for libraries and or.a pay-

'u ment of a share of the cost of the artsre subjects included in the commerce course.id _

~ ■,„. Tlie University College, Cork, has mad«

a new and interesting experiment by in-**" stituting a "seminar" in journalism, andor offering a degree at the end of the fulln. three years' course. In the official

. gazette, published by the college, the presi-dent (Dr. Windle) sets forth very tern-•o* perately, what a university course cariw hope,to effect for the intending journalist,

, g and what is beyond its province. It can-'.' not teach him the technique of his pro-ar fession, but, as with the barrister andno the teacher, all knowledge is fish thai

conies to his net, and the difficulty 13 tcselect subjects. First and foremost, oicourse, comes English composition, ancnext in order of importance comes a know-ledge of English literature. Then come:history—economic, constitutional, politicaland commerciallrish is also to be a compulsory subject, but one would hardljhave thought that a knowledge of thailanguage would be considered a necessarjqualification for even an Irish journalist.

NOTES AND COMMENTS ONLABOUR QUESTIONS.

BTASTISAK.' Keen interest is being shown by Laboas" in the Southern centres in the forthcotft-

ing elections, and in some places a com-r! plete Labour ticket ie announced. In i;;

' Wellington, Christchurch, Invercargill, and :Danedin, Labour is particularly active.. ;,

Mr. E. S. Ross, editor of the Maorilaa|:' Worker newspaper, has resigned his post/.■ tion. The board of management met last ; ■

1 week in Wellington, when it was decided ''

unanimously to appoint as his successor] Mr. H. E. Holland, from Australia. Mr.,

■ Holland will take up his new duties this'. week. He has been in Auckland for the

past week or two in connection with theurging upon the local unions the necessityof their sending, representatives to theJuly Labour Congress to bo held in Well-

, ingtom,, The Dlawarra Miners' Federation ofNew

South Wales, of which Mr. Peter Bowlingis secretary, has cabled asking for finan-cial assistance towards the maintenance ofthe wives and families of the southernminers who are out- on strike over the al-leged victimisation of some of tho membersof the* union. The Sydney Trades Councilis circularising all the unions affiliated tothat body, asking them to render financialassistance, and it is understood that theunions throughout tho Dominion will alsobe circularised.

The Auckland delegates representing theDrivers' Union—Messrs. C. Weaver, G.Davis and J. Porte!!— by the MainTrunk train on Friday evening last toattend the Drivers' Federation Conferenceto be held in Christchurch. It is statedthat one of the most important ques-tions to be dealt with at the confurenoais as to what action the federation rriUtake regarding the United Federation oSLabour and representation at the Julyconference. Another important mattesto bo discussed is the decent Drivers' Do-minion Award obtained by means of theArbitration Court.

During the sittings of the Timber-workers Conference, recently held inAuckland, a considerable amount of dis-cussion took place on the question oforganising the workers of that trade inthe North Island. It was pointed outthat in certain districts there were millsworking, and that those employed did notbelong 'to any union. It was agreed thaito cope with this difficulty it would ba

. necessary to appoint an organiser, andthis course was decided the dele-gates. It was agreed that subject to con-firmation, Mr. R. Manning should bepointed to the position.

• /■ —-

The members of the Auckland Tram*ways Union meet to-day. The quarterly

; report will be submitted by the secretary*.1 (Mr. H. Carter). ~lt is stated that the

; financial position of thai union V very '■

. satisfactory. . The agenda paper discloses .. ■■:, the fact that some very important ques- >

: tions have to be dealt with oy the mem- .';

bers, and it is anticipated that there will; - be a very large attendance at both the ; ;

• meetings. The evening shift will meet afcI 10 a.m., and the morning shift at 8 p.m. :;

- Regarding the Auckland tramwaymen'aI attitude towards the United Federation[. of Labour and the July conference, it

• has been decided to hold a special meet- >

1 ing of the union on April 22, to go into -

[ the whole question.

While on a recent visit to New .' Ply- :i mouth, Mr. O. J. Veale (secretary of thel Auckland Bakers' and j Pastrycooks* -.'-.■I' Union) convened a meeting of bakers and

' pastrycooks, his idea being to obtain their1 views regaidinrthe formation of a union

: in that town. The meeting was very welli".' attended, and it was agreed unanimously

!■ that the time was ripe for the. formationof.; a union. . All those pm mt agreed tobecome members, and a 1 "U\;b"? from the 'outlying; districts -.also.\ wuêhi.•to be ■■ en-;

WOMEN AMD CRIME.-'■;«' i ■ f~ i <a» iniiiiii iii■■■-■

The United States Government hasissued an interesting pamphlet : entitled,;!'.}.

"Belations between Occupation and■ Criminality of Women.*'. '-.. In .the investi-.

gation producing the data contained in '|this pamphlet only the absolute criminal -

has been considered. The lives of 3329.-/.'.offenders have, been made. the subject ofinquiry* i Every on© of these . offenders';'.''is confined in a penal institution in one .of the sis States which were taken as-giving a fair illustration of the matter;;,;

i treated. Dissolute living;', has not been ;■;;■:: excepting whew it has led to ;.

' the commission of crime. The results ofthis investigation are most surprising. '■"'■■

, Of the 3229 offenders 81 per cent, cam©i. from the traditional and supposedly pro-• per pursuit of housework within

their own homes, or in the homes of, others. . While 24 per cent, of the women

breadwinners of the country are engaged> in domestic service, this . occupation fur-> nishea, 70 per cent, of the offenders in• women's prisons. While 25 par cent, o!

the women breadwinners: work in mills>. and factories, in all th© small-pay, trades,» yet they furnish only 17 pes cent, of

1 the offenders, and as against 70 per cent.',■ from domestics. Women engaged in trade

' —that is in offices, stores, telephone ex-> changes— even a better record than

, those in factories, ; and mills. Suchwomen constitute 10 per cent, of allwomen earning their own living, bet

*• supply only 3 per cent, cf the pamphlets..-■ who are imprisoned. The pamphlet con-j aiders several of the States and townsi known for their: large employment ofI women in mills, and makes conclusionsI from them. In Paterson, New.Jersey, for) instance, only 18 per cent, of the women •

f breadwinners are . in domestic service,J while 72 per cent, work in the mills.3 However, in the prison population it isj found that domestics furnish 64 per cent.;, of th© offenders. In the State of Mas-- saohusetts, where thousands of women ara1 engaged as textile workers, shoemakers,p weavers, and spinners, the prison inmates*• are mainly former domestics. Sixty

thousand work in the Massachusetts fac-& tories, and they furnish only 16 per cent.y of the offenders. Seventy .thousand*• women are housekeepers in their own.. homes, or hire out as servants, and theya contribute 60 per cent, of th© offenders.;

After studying the pamphlet and con-sidering its statements, the conclusion is

e reached that servants in prison do not,, gj as a rule, come from first-class houses.;.;-[j They have worked for people whose ;,

J standards are but little higher than their ci- own. They have no prospect of rising to ;l * anything higher, so the spur of ambition1 does not drive them forward in the right

[! way, and there is no social standard ofh; their own class to hold them back.d ' •''

See how smarshe is outside, sir, and let mo tell yoshe's just as good inside. Yes, we'vbeen on some rough trips, but the Overlanhas never lot us down yet." The chauffeuwas right. The Overland is on absolute!;reliable car for either the business man othe man of leisure* Not only is it spierdidly upholstered and fully equipped, buit- is noiseless in running, economical in fu«consumption, and easy to control.

SCHOOLS FOR FEEBLE-MINDED.

In the opinion, of Tfo Jones, Inspector-General of the Insane in Victoria, &

: will' be necessary, in the very near future; to

establish schools for fchs feeble-minded inevery. large city in the State.* I Ha.thinks

'>• that residential schools should be .estab-lished in order that the pupils, in addi-tion to receiving such education as theirmental conditon iillows, should bo underconstant medical attention. The educa-tion and segregation of the feeble-mindedwere among those things ■ that Americawas in the vanguard with, added Dr.Jones. Model institutions for the . de-velopment of the mentally infirm hadbeen founded at- "Vineland, New Jersey,

• and Waverley,, Massachusetts, and the- inmates were not restricted to ordinary

school age. '.As a matter of fact, men andwomen op ;to 60 years of age were edu-ca.ted alongside children of five years andupwards. In l the view of the pathologistthey were all children, the mental de-velopment of the men and women havingbeen arrested at, the child period.' I A'State could hardly spend money moreprofitably than in raising the standardoi' efficiency of its subjects. The segre-gation of the mentally defective removedfrom the community one>of the principal

;; sources of degeneration.;

The manager of the Occidental mine,Thames, reports that the ore broken dur-

, ing the past week in the -.tope over the» No. 6 level showed dabs of gold. The

1 south fffics, No. 5 level, was driven about[ 4ft, and the reef broken down. The reef>. in the face is a strong body of ore, andi some of. that broken out showed goldi freely. A few pieces of fair picked stonei were selected. The stopes above the No.

5 letel continue to yield good ore, and401b of good picked stono were obtainedfrom the last breaking down in the southend of .the block (sth stone), and stronggold is .showing in the back. Another 6fthas been driven in the flinty crosscut inthe No. A level. The country is milder,arid several quartz leaders are crossing theface.

NEW SYLVIA.The drive in the No. 2 level of the Non-

. Sylvia mine, Thames, is now 75ft from the, rise. The manager states that the reef has

been picked up through the break, and isabout 3£ft wideband of fair value. The-rise in the No. 3 level is up 84ft. Thereef is 3ftwide and well mineralised. Fivestopes are going, with good-looking quartzin each, and gold is seen occasionally. Twoslopes are in progress in the intermediate

' level. The reef averages sft, and is heavilymineralised. One stope is going on the

• No. 1 reef in the Battery level with 3ftof quart?.. The drive in the low level was

, advanced lift during the past week. Thecountry is of good description.

HAURAKI REEFS.Tho drive on the Golcorida reef (main

level), in the Hauraki Reefs mine, Goto-mandel, was extended during the pastweek. .The manager states that the generaldirt saved should crush well. A total of161b of picked stone is now in hand fromthis face. At the old No. 2 le"Vel face thedrive was extended, and the reef is be-§inning to make again in good rock. Therive coming out under these workings

from off themain stopes was discontinued,and to secure better vontilsdon a rise hasbeen started back from the face. This riseia going up under tho run of gold obtained

■ in the old No. 2 level, and during the1 week some strong gold was seen in the

quartz broken out. The drive going westwas extended, and the reef and. countryrock continue most favourable. '. Inthe main stopes a fair amount of crushingdirt was obtained, and a little pickedstone was selected.

The manager of the Saxon mine,Thames, reports that the lining of theladder compartment of the shaft is now-

i completed to within 10ft of the bottom ofthe No. 7 level. On completion of thiswork a drain will be cut at the ,No. 1level to take away the water which 'findsits way from tho surface. This will do

' away with any further bailing. ■■

A new level is to be driven from thebottom of tho No. 7 level, a distance of

i about 550ft to the intersection of Nos. 1�.■ and 2 Cardigan reefs. Ore was previously

A PAINTER'S BANKRUPTCY.'I ;.. . ■■ v ■__._,

."0J... ..

*"* -J; A statement regarding . his bankruptcyI- has been handed to the official assignee'! by Eobert George Donaldson, painter, ofii Auckland. Debtor's total liabilities,£ amounting to £lOl 8s 9d, are owing on-I, tirely to unsecured creditors. This amount; represents the deficiency, as he has no)! assets. .

J Bankrupt states that he is married, and, a painter by trade, but for health reasons' he purchased a fruit and confectionery

business at Wbangarei in 1908, at a priceof £lls. He paid £9O in cash, £65 ofwhich was found by himself, and £25 heborrowed from his father. He did wellfor 18 months,' and then an oppositionfirm started, and his trade declined,Debtor lost money, but could not give upthe business, aa ho had taken a lease oithe shop until November, 1911. He stated

» that the landlord seized the shop fittingsfor payment of rates. He was then left

8 stranded with debts amounting to abouta £l3O. He had since been working as a5 journeyman painter, but had been unable

1 to settle his old liabilities. During the, last 16 months he had only been employedI. for 10 months at 10s.a day. Ho had noi. money* and had to, borrow his filing fee.>, He can make no offer to his creditors.

The immediate cause of his filing lieattributes to an order of imprisonmentupon a judgment summons made against

. him.* A meeting of creditors will be held in

the office of tho official assignee on Friday,-' at 11 a.m. ' . ■." ,

WAGES OF PAINTERS.

AN INCREASE WANTED. 1

"RAINY DAYS IN AUCKLAND.'*

The sittings of the Arbitration Court were -resumed yesterday, Mr. Justice Sim pre- «siding. '...■''••'

The Auckland Painters' Union asked the 'Court for an award which would include 1a wages rate of is 4£d an hour. Mr. ]Horning, who appeared for the employees, !said that the rise 'of lid was asked for «owing to tho increased cost of living, irents, etc.,, during the last 10 years, 'when the rages rate has been Is 3d. !

His Honor: Certain local bodies have <asked for exemption. ''

Mr. Homing : Tho union objects, andwould like th© inclusion of a preferenceclause.

His Honor : Which means to say that if :the gasworks employs a man with a paint- .brush for half,an hour you want to make :him a member of your union. That is the ;worst of the preference clause ; the unionsride it to death.

Mr. Grosvenor, for the employers, em-phasised the point that the climatic condi- 'tions in Auckland were better than in theSouth, and therefore the painters wereable to work more days per year than theirfollows in tho South,

Mr. Horning quoted from the Year Bookfor 1912 to show that during last year 45iaof rain fell in the South Island, while 51inhad fallen in the North. The average forthe last 54 years showed that rain hadfallen on 180 days per year in Auckland,and 163 days per year in Dunedin.

The Court reserved its decision.

HAIRDRESSERS' HOURS.In the dispute between the Auckland

i Hairdresserb' Assistants and the employers,i Mr. Rosser, who appeared for tho union,

explained that soma of the matters ini dispute were partially settled, but the ques-i tion of houra was still unsatisfactory. He

understood that the hours of hairdresserswere fixed by statute.

, His Honor: The Court has refused to, interfere where the hours are fixed by

law.Mr. Rosser said that th© union asked

- for one night n week off from 6 p.m.It was decided, on tho advico of the

Court, to hold a conference on th© matter,taking the agreement-arrived at in theSouth as a basis, and to report furtherto-morrow morning.

I GASWORKERS' DISPUTE.''. Application was made by Mr. A. Rosser,

i on behalf of the Auckland Gas Employees. Union, to have meter-waterers and burner

, inspectors included in the award. The em-[ ployers had refused, during the hearingi. of the dispute before the Conciliation Conn-r cil in December last, to have these men

included.Mr. C. Grosvenor, for the employers,

protested against such a comprehensive•award. -

j The matter was left to a conference ofthe parties, which is to report to, the

'r Court on Friday morning.

ALLEGED BREACH OF AWARD.

A cask in which some interesting dis-closures were made regarding a picturetheatre orchestra was heard at the Arbi- itration Court yesterday afternoon. L. <Brooks and his brother, B. Brooks, pro- 1prietors of tho Windsor Theatre, in Pon- <sonby Road, were charged with having 1committed a breach of the Auckland Per- Iforming Musicians' Union's award by pay- iing their orchestra employees leas than theaward rate. Mr. Justice Sim presided, ]and Mr. E. W. F. Gohns, inspector of :awards, led the prosecution, while Mr. ;Pollen appeared for the defendants. ''lt -was alleged that in contravention of ,

the clause of the award which states that imusicians should be paid at the rate of£3 a week for six performances and onematinee, defendants had paid two mem-bers of their orchestra 30s a week.

Ernest Alfred Lowery, a member of theunion, said that he had been in the or-chestra at the Windsor for 12 months.When tho award came into force last yearho was receiving 30s a week, but ho of-fered to take 30s worth of reserved seatsweekly to make up tho difference in wages.He received his £3 every week, buton thoMonday he would go to Mr. Brooks andpay the 30s back for the seats.' He used18 to 20 of the seats ©very week for hisfriends.

His Honor : Then you really used 30s aweek of your money on free seats for yourfriends.

Henrick Hcnrioksen gave similar evi-dence. In answer to His Honor, he saidthat after eight o'clock on rush nightstho seats were not kept.

Mr. Pullen said that Mr. Brooks couldnot have paid the full award rates. Themusicians would have been thrown out ofemployment, so they made this arrange-ment about the seats with the proprietors.Ho contended that they could spend theirown money as they chose.

Leonard Brooks, one of the proprietors,said that when the award came in, theorchestra members approached

„him, and

suggested the free seats arrangement. Ber-nard Brooks, the other brother, gave simi-lar evidence.

William E. Ewart, violinist, said thatno persuasion whatever had been used bytho proprietors regarding the arrangement.It was purely voluntary on the part of theorchestra.

His Honor was proceeding to questionEwart further on the voluntary nature ofthe action, when the witness had to beled out of Court owing to a fainting at-tack.

Tho Court reserved its decision.

THE TIMBER INDUSTRY.

NORTHERN WAIROA OUTPUT.

£62,000 A YEAR IN WAGES.

LOCAL DEMAND GROWING.

[fkom our own CORRESPONDENT.]When consideration is taken of the vaststretches of country which a quarter of acentury ago were kauri clad, and of thepresent-day magnitude of the timber in-dustry throughout Northern Wairoa, onebecomes bewildered at the vastness of thebush and mill operations which have beenand are being carried on.

It is estimated that the Wairoa millshave converted from log to buildingmaterial fully 1,000,000,000ft of timber,and yet to-day eight large milling plants,employing 200 workmen and 250 bushmen,are steadily in commission. The annualoutput capacity of the mills, working eighthours d .Uy, is over 50,'000,000ft, but over-time is oi frequent occurrence, and theannual export is fully that quantity.

Twenty years ago, in addition to sawnmaterial, kauri logs were exported on alarge scale, and it was then nothing un-usual to see a dozen or more barques load-ing at To Kopuru and Aratapu. Now thobulk of the oversea export is carried bycargo steamers in lots of from' 1,000,000itto 2,000,000ft. With tho dwindling of thekauri areas, the demand for white pine haskept the industrial plants going, and to-day, despite the 'depleted forests, the valueof the industry may be gauged by the factthat over £62,000 is annually distributedin wages.

The Cost of Kauri.Though the present forest areas which

provide the logs of kauri, white pine, rimu,and totara are far distant, ana were inthe near past considered inaccessible, theextra cost involved in producing ,boardsis fully met by the increased value of build-ing material. Twelve years ago kauri inthe log was only worth 3s 6d per 100ft,and when it recently commanded Bs, saw-millers pondered. But a sale has justeventuated at 10s 3d, to which must beadded 2s 6d freightage to Onehunga, thelanded cost at the mill booms being 12s9d. : ■

With increased charges all round to con-tractors, bushmen, rafters, and millhands,sawmillers are, nevertheless, prospering,and the industry is flourishing.

Extensive Log Supplies.Log supplies in the summer season are,

of course, erratic, as flooded creeks aregenerally necessary for their transport totidal water. This particularly refers tokauri, but also in several instances to whitepine. The bulk of the kauri logs are nowbeing obtained from the Tutamoe, Manga-kahia, and Kirikopuni localities. From theformer there are 2000 logs awaiting aflood. In the Mangakahia River over2500 ore lying in the creek. In the bed ofthe Tangihua stream there aTe2OOO. AtKirikopuni supplies are daily being hauledby locomotives to the main river, and somesix years will elapse before present con-tracts cease. At Omana a locomotive isalso at work amongst 6,000,000ft of mixedstanding timber. In the Mangariui Riverthere aro 3000 logs to be swept down.Stocks in the Tangowahino Creek aggre-gate 800. At Horehore there remains500,000ft to be removed, and at Nau'maia railway extends into a 10,000,000 clumpof white pine, which is steadily beingfelled. There are also several small con-tracts which, ift one aggregate, are re-sponsible for important supplies.

In the Kaihu Valley bush, work is un-usually brisk. .At Taita a tram runs fromthe railway into the AwaMno area, andtaps 20,000,000ft of standing timber, allof which is to be transported over theState railway to DargavxQe. At Maropiu,a steady supply of white pine logs is pro-vided. In the vicinity of Kaihu fine treebarrels are being hauled to the railway.At Waima, the old kauri workings arebeing exploited for what proves to bevaluable timber, and at Kauri Park, hugekauri lengths are being bullocked.to theWairua railway terminus. ~-',

,

The first heavy rains will be welcomedby all interested in the milling plants, andwill relievo the comparative log scarcitywhich, each succeeding year, becomes moreaccentuated.

, ..The Timber Market.The bulk of the Northern Wairoa output

is exported to Sydney and Melbourne.The Commonwealth butter industry makesa heavy levy on the white pine stocks, andthe Australian building trade takes largesupplies of kauri.; In the, South Islandcentres there is ever a strong demand formixed cargoes, shipments are frequentlysupplied to Auckland and the Manukau,and the local demand yearly becomes morepronounced.

HOBSON STREET INCIDENT.

A CHARGE OF ASSAULT.

A private prosecution, in which the com-plainant was Margaret Amoretti de Nigra;and the defendant, John Sullivan, washeard before Mr. E. C. Cutten, 5.M.,.at the Police Court yesterday afternoon,The defendant, for whom Mr. .A. E.Skelton appeared, was charged with hav-ing committed an aggravated assault onthe complainant, and with having stolen acounter bell, valued at 7s 6d. The com-plainant, who is a young married woman,has supper-rooms in Hanson Street, nearthe corner of Wellington Street. She wasrepresented by Mr. Lundon.

In the course of her ovidenoo, the com- !plainant stated that late on the eveningof Saturday, March 6, she heard two men |enter the shop rather noisily. Being alonein the house, she did not immediately goout to attend to such noisy customers.When she did enter the shop the menhad gone, and a counter-bell had disap-peared. Complainant at once inquired ofsome youths as to where the men who hadbeen in the shop, had gone. Hearing thatthey had gone down a lane close by, shefollowed and overtook the men, and askedfor the return of the boll. To this theyreplied that they had not got any bell.Once again she repeated her demand,threatening to call the police if it was nothanded back immediately. The men, shesaid, had been drinking frOm a flask, andone of them, the complainant alleges,threw the flask at her. She again said shewould give them in charge one of themen then throwing the bell. She pickedit up, and proceeded to go back, beingmade, it is alleged, the subject of insult-ing language. The men followed her, andafter using further insulting language, oneof them {the defendant Sullivan), wasstated by the complainant to have struckher a heavy blow on the face with hisclenched fist. The complainant allegedthat the blow felled her to theground,anddeprived her of, consciousness. Whenquite recovered, she was taken to hermother's house.

Questioned by Mr. "Skelton, the com-plainant denied having used any badlanguage towards Sullivan. She admittedcall!., him a thief, but not, as counselsuggested, a criminal and a rogue. '

After hearing the evidence of severalyouths who were in the vicinity when theincident occurred, the case was formallyadjourned until this morning.

ENTERTAINMENTS.

HUGARD, THE MAGICIAN*

If Hugard did nothing else last night atHis Majesty's Theatre' ho provided thoargumentative with a prolific topic :..." Howcan a man bo shot and be not shot?"Certainly his most remarkable and per-plexing trick is to stand before three terri-torials with loaded rifles which, fired athim point blank, do him no harm. As faras the eye can tell, the rifles are trulyloaded with ball cartridges, the shells andbullets of which are marked by membersof the audience. Of course the markedbullets are not fired; but undoubtedlywhen the guns go off, the bullets fallfrom a little cloth target held by themagician, and are found not only markedland identifiable, but hot and grooved withthe rifling of the guns. The trick is anextraordinary one, and Hugard claims thatIn is the only performer who can do itwith modern rifles and bail cartridges.

>

Itassuredly surpasses greatly the older trick,wherein muzzle-loading weapons are used. j

For the rest of his performance Hugardgoes through a long programme, which isremarkable for its great variety, and forthe beautiful cleanness of manipulation.His sleight of hand was unusually good,and enabled- him to perform card tricks)which were altogether admirable in in-terest, variety, and speed. He showedsome very pretty "thumb-tie" andthen wriggled out of a regulation straight-jacket in less than two minutes.

Tne second part of his programme con-sisted of illusions of various kinds, carriedout in a Chinese setting by "Ching SungLoo," a reverend-looking Chinaman in ap-pearance, but Hugard in reality. With awealth of paraphernalia, he deceived theaudience into believing their fallible eye-sight in dozens of ways, and producedsome extraordinary effects. He shot a roperight through one of his Chinese lady as-sistants. He produced a handsome girlfrom the interior of an empty shell. Heraised See Yoo Soon from the floor in atrance by some invisible suspension. Heproduced flowers, sweets, and mementoesfrom an empty cabinet. He mixed oldtricks and new, and even the old oneswere done" so well that they were as goodas the new. Taken, as a, whole the enter-tainment stood out as distinctly above theordinary, and its completeness was themore remarkable because Hugard was ob-viously painfully lame as the result of

#

arecent accident, and was hampered inmoving quickly about the stage.

The magician had the assistance of MissMyra Errington, whose musical gift liesin the direction of playing a xylophonewith considerable skill. She extractedtolerable music, too, from a set of ser-rated discs, which she span upon a marbletable, and contributed a ballad. ' The in-terlude was much appreciated, and she washeartily encored. Mr. George Carman, acomedian, sang some songs which weregreatly enjoyed, and received a cordialencore.'

IRRITATION ON LEG PAST,■■■'■ ENDURANCE.

15, Phobpeot-STBBET, Waverley, Sydney,N-S.W.—"Several years ago I was livingin Narrandora, on the Western Line, whenI suddenly contracted a bad leg. It firststarted with slight itohing; but it becameworse and worse overy day until the irrita-

h tion became past endurance. I' used toP scratch it till the blood came, &->d I canI dsstire you I had no peace night or day, and*? in consequence became seriously ill. MyJJ Ug getting worse, I had to give up work,

, not being able to walk. I had to lie on a•" couch all day and at night was lifted on_ the bod. I used to scratch my leg till I£ nearly fainted .with the torture. I used

everything I saw advertised, but. nothing did0 m© the fibghtest bit of good. I was gettingworse all the time, and I was almost inJ despair. .'••'• .'■■' _•/a "I saw Cuticura Ointment advertised,

'? and being only too glad to grasp at anythingl " that I thought might give me relief, I sent'«. at once to our ohemiat for some of the" Cuticura Remedies, I washed my leg atl* once with the Outicura Soap, then applieda the Outicura Ointment, and to my utter° amazement I felt instant relief. After theP third application, my leg was decidedly18 better, and from that time ; my leg kept im-

proving every time I applied: the Outicura'? Ointment.until it got completely cured, andd has remained so to this day.—(Signed) Wm.» Btnupo'cß. August, 1911,"

MAGISTRATE'S COURT.■>—,■■- ■"■■'— ■Qui"'» ' "■' ■

DISPOSITION OF A BULL.

Hearing was resumed before Mr. E. C.Cutten, S.M., at the Magistrate's Courtyesterday, of the case in which ArthurSouthey Baker sought to recover fromWilliam J. Hall, the sum of £52 10s, inrespect of a Jersey bull, Lord Maitland.The plaintiff conducted his own case,while Mr. Prendorgast appeared for thedefendant. The plaintiff alleged that thebull was purchased by him from the de-fendant on the warranty that it was quiet,but that it afterwards proved to be adangerous animal.

After hearing the addressee of Mr.Baker and counsel for the defence, HisWorship stated that though he did notconsider the bull was & quiet one, yethe was of opinion that the plaintiff hadnot made out his case. Judgment wouldbe given for the defendant, with costs.His Worship stated that he did not con-sider that the defendant had Been quitefair in thematter, and such witnesses ashad come from Thames would only beallowed costs on such a scale as if the casehad been beard at Thames.

The Question of the Say.—The question ofto-day or to-morrow, and of every succeed-ing day, is: Have yon used Pears' 'Soap? Ifyon have not yon have not done your dutyby your., akin and complexion. If, on theother hand— is on.both bands, add onthe face, and on the skiai generally—youhave used Pears, you can feel happy, foryon will have done the best that possiblycan be done for the skin's health andbeauty. There can be no question aboutthat. Pears' has been making beautifulcomplexions for ; fiearly 120 years".—Matchless for Complexion, .

THE SYDNEY STRIKES.I- "l I I 111 II n«M|jjgfcwi—iwnim■!■■'■— '■-'."

Sydney, suffer? in an unprecedentedmanner from a series of strikes

!•. peculiarly injurious to the generalpublic. These strikes, it may benoted, are not of an epidemic

V.. nature but are sequential in'theircharacter. The gasworkers made

£ the first move, shrouding in dark-ness the greatest city in Australasia,suspending the popular gas-cooking

18 as well as gas-lighting and seriously

I disturbing industries served by gas-engines; in the outcome the strikers

~secured the advance in wages whichthe gas companies regarded them

- as entitled to, but which a badly-drafted law prevented the companiesfrom* charging to the: gas-consuming

■"„ public. Immediately afterwards,the ferry employees left their postsand laid idle one of the principalmeans of transit in the famous har-bour-city ; again the speedy- outcomewas the winning by the strikers ofall their demands which had for a

<* considerable time been under theib consideration of a dilatory Wages

Board. Now the goods traffic of'■•■ the Sydney section of the State rail-' way service is practically suspended,

the excuse of the original strikersbeing again the inefficiency of theprovision made for the adjustmentof industrial claims; it may safely be

- prophesied that after immense losses*l and inconvenience to the unoffeiid-ig ing publio the Sydney railway dis-ie pute will be settled by heavy con-- cessions. The stupidity and danger

of the process which is apparentlybecoming the fashion in, New SouthWales, and may spread from thence

„'■ north, south and west, is luridlyevident. To all intents and pur-poses a premium is being placed

| upon strikes by. governmental-failureto keep Wages Board methods andpractices abreast of the times, and

0 by hasty governmental pressure-,

%

exercised on behalf of public serviceemployees after they have stopped

~, work. v The New South WalesLabour Government has been toomuch occupied by the Cabinet

'■, squabble over ■.■•: the leaseholdques-tion! and by its plans for securing

...... ■ .■■/'■'■■' ■-.'. - V, *

a party success at the next, general -aelections; to pay the 'I necessary camount of attention .to. conciliation \

measures. Under its weak-handed '«

administration public affairs have; ]

drifted from bad to worse and the c\ utter incapacity of its Labour De- 1partment only reflects the- general ]

I ineptitude" of its management, iI Prejudiced opponents may be par- ij doned for insisting; that the Labour tGovernment of New South Wales has {

deliberately fostered and encouraged athe strikes,.'but it is so gravely dis- <

credited by these regrettable happen- iings that such a charge cannot be <reasonably maintained. The expla- >

nation is that the McGowen Adminis- itration is exhausting all its energies Jin the task of clinging to office. We iknow how in New Zealand the dying iagonies of the Continuous Govern- 1ment demoralised its administrative {

functions and surrounded it with 1faction strife. In New South Wales tthe same disrupting forces are at (

work and the public is powerless to {protect itself because it. has en- •

trusted authority to a government ,

which is incompetent to govern. iThe industrial strife in New South <

Wales may be. expected to work out tits own remedy, but the bitterness <

of the remedy is repellent to all who ]have hoped that reason and equity ,would speedily establish assured \

peace in the industrial world, iRecent events, as we have pointed '.

out, set a premium upon striking in (Sydney; nor is anything more likely jto .encourage the use of the barbaric <

strike weapon than the widespread (

belief that it is the most effective tn ,

the workman's armoury. So far the {demands of the strikers do not ap- jpear to have been wholly unreason- \able or impossible, although it ]

should be hardly necessary to sug- jgest that under the circumstances \

many details must have been over- ,

looked which might have been amic- [

ably modified after calm considera- (

tion. This omission of calm con- ]sideration in industrial agreements is jitself fraught with the possibilities /of future dissatisfaction j :but far ,more fatal to future industrial peace ,is the strengthening of the delusionthat the strike can ordinarily win >what friendly conference or impar- ; ,

tial arbitration will .not yield. - Id :all large bodies of men there is an ;irresponsible element which is in- ,stinctively irreconcilable and which, ,in Sydney at any rate, will hence- ,forward be able to.advance the argu-iment that recent experience demon- istratcs the success of their extreme ;ipolicy. Unless adequate legislative <and administrative action is taken- ,in New South" Wales the inevitable ;effect must be to, induce unions. to :enter lightly upon disastrous and ,destructive strikes, foredoomed to ,

Ifallure because based upon imprac- ;Iticabl6*'and Unreasonable demands. ',There is a limit to the 1 conditions :which workmen can be expected to ;accept or which public opinion asksthem to accept,? a limit varying fromtime to time according to the varying ;cost of living, developmentsof indus- ■'.;try and standard, of comfort;"Every industrious "workman shouldbe able to; keep himself; /and his ,family in decency and comfort with-out shattering his health and happi-ness through excessive and exhaust-ing hours of labour. v'i This limit isuniversally recognised and is thebasis for that equitable and' amic-able settlement of industrial ques-tions which is striven for by all pro-gressive and humane men andwomen. But there is another limitto industrial - conditions* a limitrecognised at all intelligent confer-ences and by all impartial adjudi-cating bodies, but ignored by allwho favour the strike. This otherlimit is created by the immutablenecessity for making every industrypay its way, a necessity directlypressing upon employers but in-directly pressing no less heavilyupon every employee. When strikesbeat an industry back against thislimit strikes must fail, for employershave then no option but to fight thematter out and public opinion—-which rarely makes a great mistakeupon questions touching it closely-rallies to their support. Undermodern conditions the marginbetween what an industry can pay toits employees and what it actuallydoes pay is rarely very wide, andas it becomes closer there is all themore need for a mutually conciliatoryspirit, so that irretrievable loss maynot be inflicted upon both partiesas well as upon the public. Theencouragement of strikes as a popu-lar way of deciding difficult and com-plicated industrial problems is fatalto the comfort of workmen, thesecurity of employers and the pros-perity of the State, for at the beststrikes can. never win permanentlywhat friendly conference cannot beexpected to give and at their worststrikes are a hopeless sacrifice tobarbaric ignorance.

THE BUTTER TRADE.. . '«»' ' ■ ■

In spite of an i exceptionally , dry-season, the butter export trade ofAuckland maintains a volume whiohjustifies the reputation ; of the pro-vince as ideal .

dairying; country.The slowly- expanding occupation of

■ the land, with the increasing yieldof improving herds, has more than.counterbalanced•'■the;.: sparseness ofthe rainfall during .the summer

, months, the 1912-13 season showingan export increase of 14 per cent., ascompared with the corresponding

, period of 1911-12. - Any fear' whichi may have been held '■■as.-' to the possi-bility of over-supplying the •markets

• of 'tiie United Kingdom has beenh '■:'■ ■"■.-■■■ : : " ■■''•■■"■ '■■■- ■■■:■:. :■■'■:*

set at rest by'tKe remarkable growthof trade with Vancouver, a portwherein.' New Zealand .shippers haveah ■ incontestable advantage againstDanish, '% Siberian and - Argentinancompetitors. : The; Vancouver tradehas more than doubled since theprevious year, ' absorbing nearly3so6obwt during the; season. Thereis every prospect of this Canadiantrade .being greatly increased as,

facUities for shipment improve, andwe may also • anticipate a healthydemand from the United Stateswhen the existing American importduty is reduced or abolished andwhen steamers ■' ply again betweenAuckland and San Francisco.Nearly a million pounds sterlingwill be brought into Auckland in re-turn for the season's export ofbutter produced on our dairy farmsand there is positively no reasonwhy this pleasant sum of money.should not be doubled, trebled andquadrupled in future years if Grownand Native Lands are made avail-able to our settlers and'if reasonablepare. is exercised in the testing andselecting of cows. It is the uuty ofthe Government to pay the closestattention to the opening of land andthe provision of roads and railways.Money may be hard to borrow, butwith butter at 120s per cwt moneyis not hard to produce if this greatindustry is suitably encouraged.The State is in need of foreigncapital mainly because loans raisedin the past have been squanderedon political railways and wasted incareless administration. If a reason-able amount of energy and intelli-gence had been displayed in- the pastmanagement of the public businessthe financial position of New Zea-land would have been very muchbetter to-day than it is., Of course,if hundreds of thousands of poundsare still to be poured into the OtiraTunnel while Auckland dairyingcountry cries for development it willbe many years before our nationalfinancial problems'are finally solved.

THE HARBOUR BOARD.

Tee balance-sheet and statement ofac<;cua£ts "'■■■submitted to the HarbourBoar 1 yesterday show that ampleprovision has been made for theworks in hand, and that the financesof the Board fully justify the obliga-tions which have been undertaken.When - the harbour improvementsscheme was adopted it was suggestedby experts and insisted by criticsthat the proposed work was far tooextensive for the prospects of theport • and that the Board would finditself crushingly involved by thecost of wharves for which therewould be no shipping and of reclama-tions for whioh there would be no'suitable tenants. 'As a -matter offact the demands of shipping have'pressed closely upon the work ofour busy wharf-builders, while thevalue of the reclamations is nolonger challenged. The Board'sassets,'at a conservative valuation,are £918,000 in excess of I its liabili-ties, while the Board's revenue of£160,000 places it securely above anyrisk of financial embarrassment.The administration of the HarbourBoard }•during: the past few. yearshas been much more than satisfac-tory. Confident in the future of

I Auckland, and determined to do allin its power for the trade uponwhich the city, and province depend,the Board has worked along soundbusiness lines and is deserving ofhearty : public , appreciation for itswork.- .;■.■

NOTESANDCOMMENTS.

; . • • NOVEL GAS 'gun.; "

,'\ >/?:Wawr is claimed to bo , a remarkablemachine-gun has been invented by Mr.Ernest Welsh, a chemist," of Hull. Amodel gun which has been completedweighs about; «• hundredweight,

v or a thirdof! what the machine proper would weigh.It is discharged by explosive gases, andit is claimed that it will send projectilesa distance of five miles, which will thenignite whatever they hit. The mechanism, ias briefly explained by Mr. Welsh, con-sists in part of three generators whichmanufacture three distinct : gases. In thestopper thore is a Bmall sponge saturatedwkh a' certain fluid, which also gives ' offa gas whilst there is, further, a supplyof: oxygen and hydrogen inside tht cylin-der. The cylinder rests on a plate, and bythe/setting into motion of a small electricmotor oh the right-hand side ,>f the gunthe gases are exploded, and the projectileis propelled-through the muzzle. Mr.Welsh states that there is no recoil, andthere is no pressure on the outside of theoylinder. AH pressure is felt forward.The nature of the gases is a secret whichMr. . Welsh would not divulge, but hestated that the ,gun had , been tested withsatisfactory results to himself and all whowitnessed the demonstration. He eaid :

"It has taken me 13 years to find out thedifferent gases. The projectiles willignite on water, and although I have madethe stuff-1 have not found out as yet whatwill extinguish the flames they cause."The tests referred to were made on somewooden buildings purchased for the occa-sion. Within 30 seconds of the projectilesstriking the buildings,' he said, they werein flames, and photographs which he pro-duced showed that the buildings werequickly destroyed. The gun itself is (notunlike a Maxim in appearance, and theprojectiles, Mr. Welsh says, are not largo—"lt is the stuff they contain that doesthe - damage." . He' claims he'can get asmuch destructive material in a projectileof this kind as can be got into,* 71b or141b shell. As a chemist he his beenaccustomed to handling explosives, and itwas whilst dealing with various ; gasesthat he accidentally discovered thesewhich are used in the gun and which thegun itself generates. There is no reportwhen the gun is fired.

there can be doubt, even when all al-lowances* have been made, ■; that there is

a considerable substratum of troth inlhem.What"" has :' : brought this state of things

about! The increasing - be-

tween capital and labour, the continualstruggle for a larger share of the profitsof industry, the growing feeling • (whichundoubtedly exists : whatever j»»tathere may or may not be for it) that thewealth of." the country is not ■ equitablydistributed—these factors enter into thenew. spirit' which is found r amongst theAustralian artisans. But they do notwholly account for it. The "ca* cannymovement in England, the prejudiceagainst anything savouring of " speedingup," derived very largely from reports ofexperiences in;America, 1 half-digested andlittle-understood economic theories whichfind their outlet in short-sighted attemptsto; restrict immigration too, havecontributed to therecent phase of the rela-tionship between employer and workman.Again, there has been the subdivision ofindustry necessitating the participation ofthe worker in small; mechanical processes,easily learnt, demanding no special skill,and stimulating little or no '■> interest orpride in his work. The growth of largefactories, as distinguished .from the smallworkshop, and the transfer of private busi- -nessos into public companies have madeimpossible, or, at least, difficult, the oldpersonal contact between employer and in-dividual worker which formerly obtained.Then a very large number of men havenow the impression that they no longerneed to put* forward special effort* or toplease their employers. They can' obtaintheir desires from the wages board or Ar-bitration Court. The idea of mutual ser-vice has to a large extent disappeared.We believe that this is regrettable, .what-ever economic views may be held with re-gard to the capitalistic system. The na-tional character must in the long;run ; de-teriorate, the community as a whole mustfall from pride of place in : the world ifits work tends to become shoddy; if thelabour that a man offers is dishonest, Justas a merchant might sell goods that werenot up to sample, or a shopkeeper articlesunder weight.

JAM ADULTERATION.The most modem way of\dodging; the

Pure Foods Acts is, says a London news-paper, very simple. If you want to .sellsome cheap article at a. high price, eachas cheap apple jolly for." costly : blackcurrant jam, all that you need to do isto put on the label." Improved black cm*r

rant jam." "Improved" is a far better,sounding word than "adulterated," . yetthe difference between the two words hasexcused the sale of thousands of tons, ofimitations of jam and marmalade all over

' the world. Mr.: Ernest Marriage, lectur-ing at the Royal Society of Arts on " TheAdulteration of Jams," pressed the • abovestatement home, by laying bare some ofthe practices of the jam-making trade.The form of adulteration referred to bythe lecturer as so general and so; success-ful that it threatens to corrupt the whole,jam, trade was the addition of �he pulpor the juice (which: is the filteied pulp),of cheap fruit to dearer jams. The main-stay this adulteration' ie * the- apple/whilst lemons^' gooseberries, and : even redcurrants are used in some cfiises. -;Rhubarb,too, though not a fruit, plays a most use-ful part in "raised fruit" ;•: jams, andperhaps provides "fruit juices" jh otherpreserves. "How widespread"'this prac-tice is," .be said, "a careful study ofmanufacturers*; labels {aided again, per-haps/; by : a magnifying glass) wall show.Of course, it is not called adulteration,but the * improvement' of a jam 'by theaddition of other choice fruit,' where pulp;

as used, or * by the* addition -of fruit juices,*

if .the'adulterant has '..altered.''. Thoseadulterators who, boldly take their chancesof prosecution, or are confident in theirability to -defy discovery,; are no doubt theminority. , The majority are afraid of theconsequences, and seek to evade ;their legalliability. , The Food and Drugs Act, mis-interpreted ;by the carelessness or- ignor-ance of magistrates, seems to offer a wayof evasion by means : oi^cunningly; wordedlabels,; and ; the ;■ Act {whose; very purposewas to put an,end to adulteration becomesthe sheet anchor of the jam adulterator."The cost of the currants needed for pro-ducing a hundredweight of -jam is.about21s 3d. If apples were used their costwould be 4s 6d,;

The Canadian-Australasias. Royal mailsteamer Zealandia advised by wirelesslast night that she* will arrive ,in j;Auck-land at 10 a.m. to-day.

'"• voyage is the last that vessel will under-! take on the "Vancouver run> as the ; new. vessel, the Niagara, is to take her place.! The' future movements of : the Zealandia

are not yet announced.Two Stowaways, : John • Hanslow and

John Bri6n, appeared before Mr. B. C.Cutten, S.M., at the Police Court yester-

-1 day, charged with having secreted them-selves .on board the steamer Maheno onher trip from Sydney to Auckland. Oneof the accused pleaded in extenuation that

\ he had been obliged to adopt the courseJ he had followed owing to his inability to

secure work in New South Wales. Chief-IJatective McMahon stated that the iac-i

I cosed Eanslow was well and 'unfavourably.■known to the, police in New Zealand, but

!-. of Brien nothing was known. It was 'un-fortunate for the latter that he: had got

1 into such company as Hanslow's.. HisWorship sentenced each of the accused to

■> The growth of the southern 1 Mount» Eden district is shown by an application

i recently made to the School Comjnitteei for enlargements to the newly-erectedi Maungawhau school. This school, which' was built to;accommodate 350 children,"is■ overflowing, and the application is for' a separate infants' • department,:to hold an' additional 250 pupils. Before , the pre--1 sent . school was commenced, a '■■ building to' hold,' 450 children was asked for, V but

1 owing to the scarcity ;of money, . the: Gov-.', ernment was disinclined to.-run the-risk

of spending more money than••might benecessary. \ Mr, G. J. "Garland (chairmanof the Education Board) expects to be

f able to,;. inform •■ thev School ; Committe?r within a fortnight that ; the grant has been3 made, as a strong, case for; the, proposedi extension has been placed before the Eduf ( { cation Department. •' v '

age laziness," said Mr. Justice Sim at the , ';.

Arbitration Court yesterday. This remarkwas occasioned by the secretary of theAuckland Bakers' Union bringing forward ?fan application to have an employer's name-.. ■-

''

attached to the award without having as-certained the Christian name of the party •" \

to be added. "It is perfectly easy," said -

rHis Honor, "for a union secretary to find . ,

out what the employer's first name is. If • ■he doesn't do it, it's laziness. On thatground the Court intends: to dismiss the -application." "

1 An offer to present two fine oil paint- -

ings to the Art Gallery has been madeto the Mayor (Mr, C. J. Parr) by Mr.John Marshall, of Auckland. While on,a tour through Europe, Mr. Marshall pur- "\

chased the pictures at Florence. One ofthe paintings, by Agrosti, is a partieslarly fine picture, ,; beautifully coloured.It is an Italian subject entitled, "The - vFirst Steps/' * and shows a tiny toddlerlearning the 'first step of a dance,.while .

the mother looks proudly on and an elder ;

sister stands .in readiness to prevent the -. .-;.'

little one from falling. The grandfather -

and grandmother are interested spectatorsof the lesson. All the figures are admir- _

ably executed, and no: doubt the picturewill prove an acquisition to the gallery. ;■;■;.;The other picture is an Italian farmyardscene, by li. Lucidi, entitled, "TheCalves," and is ah admirable work of art.The Mayor intends to bring ! Mr. Mar-shall's offer before the next meeting of theLibrary and Art Gallery Committee. :

, Te Papapa, the handsome brick schoolat Onehunga, which: has just been com-pleted, is to be officially opened to-morrowafternoon at three o'clock. The speakerswill be Messrs. F. W. .Lang, M.P., for

*Manukau, G. J. Garland, chairman of theEducation Board, and -John Rowe, Mayorof Onehunga. Much interest has - been ._.■•■;,.manifested in the new school by the One-hunga residents, and it is expected thatthey will be present in large numbers : -rat the opening ceremony.

The Wellington City Council received acopy of the resolution of the WoodvilleBorough Council asking for its approval ofa proposal to tax motor-cars and, expendthe resultant moneys on the upkeep ofroads affected by motor traffic. The .

THE SYDNEY STRIKES.|. l hiiii ii ii Itffi**" !■■'■■■ " ■ ' "*

Sydney suffer? in an unprecedentedmanner from a series of strikespeculiarly injurious to the generalpublic. These strikes, it may benoted, are not^..'of an epidemic;nature but are sequential in theircharacter. The gasworkers madethe first move, shrouding in dark-;ness the greatest city in Australasia,suspending the popular gas-cookingas well as gas-lighting and seriouslydisturbing industries served by gas-;engines ; in the outcome the strikerssecured the advance in wages whichthe gas companies regarded them:as entitled to, but which a badly-drafted law prevented the companiesfrom* charging to the gas-consumingpublic. Immediately afterwards,the ferry employees left their postsand laid idle one of the principalmeans of transit in the famous har-bour-city ; again the speedy- outcomewas the winning by the strikers ofall their demands which had for aconsiderable time been under theconsideration of a dilatory WagesBoard. Now the goods traffic ofthe Sydney section of the State rail-way service is practically suspended,the excuse of the original strikersbeing again the inefficiency of -theprovision made for the adjustmentof industrial claims; it may safely beprophesied that after immense lossesand inconvenience to the unoffend-ing public the Sydney railway dis-pute will be settled by heavy con-cessions. The stupidity and dangerof the process which is apparentlybecoming the fashion in New SouthWUes, and may spread from thencer.orth, south and west, is luridlyevident. To all intents and pur-poses a premium is being placedupon strikes by governmental failureto keep Wages Board methods andpractices abreast of the times, andby hasty governmental pressureexercised on behalf of public serviceemployees after they have stoppedwork. 'The New South WalesLabour. Government has been toomuch occupied by the Cabinetsquabbled over the leasehold, ques-tion, and by its plans for securing

ia party success at the next general aalecfcioDs, to pay. the necessary camount of attention .to, conciliation \

measures. Under its weak-handed $

administration public affairs have 1drifted from bad to worse and the cutter incapacity of its Labour De- 1partment only reflects the general jineptitude* of its management, jPrejudiced opponents may be par- idoned for insisting that the Labour tGovernment of New South Wales has Ideliberately fostered and encouraged ithe strikes, but it is so gravely diß- (

credited by these regrettable happen- iings that such a charge cannot be <

reasonably maintained. The expla- 1nation is that the McGowen Adininis- itvation is exhausting all its energies ]

in the task of clinging to office. We iknow how in New Zealand the dying iagonies of the Continuous Govern- 1ment demoralised itß administrative ,functions and surrounded it with ifaction strife. In New South Wales £

the same disrupting forces are at (

work and the public is powerless to {protect itself because it, hao en- {

trusted authority to a government ,

which is incompetent to govern. (The industrial strife in New South (

Walea may be expected to work out tits OWn remedy, but the bitterness iof the remedy is repellent, to all who ]have hoped that reason and equity ,would speedily establish assured ipeace in the industrial world, iRecert events, as we havft pointed [

on*, set a premium upon striking in ,Sidney : nor is anything more likely jto encourage the use of the barbaric (strike weapon than the widespread (

belief that it is the most effective in ,the workman's armoury. So far the {

demands of the Strikers do not ap- jpear to have been wholly unreason- <able or impossible, although it ]should be hardly necessary to sug- igest that under the circumstances jmany details must have been over- ,looked which might have been amic- '

ably modified after calm considera- <tion. This omission of calm con- ]sideration in industrial agreements is jitself' fraught with the possibilitiesof future dissatisfaction; but far .more fatal to future industrial peace ,is the strengthening of the delusionthat the strike can ordinarily win .what friendly conference or impar- ,tial arbitration will not yield. Inall large bodies of men there is an ,irresponsible element which is in- ,stinctively irreconcilable and which, ,in Sydney at any rate, will hence- •forward be able to advance the argu-

! ment that recent experience demon- ,strates the success of their extremepolicy. Unless adequate legislativeand administrative action is takenin New South Wales the inevitableeffect must.be to induce unions toenter lightly upon disastrous anddestructive strikes, foredoomed tofailure because based upon imprac-ticable "and unreasonable demands. '

: There is a limit to the ; conditionswhich workmen can be expected toaccept or which pubb'c opinion asksthem to accept, a limit varying from,time to time accordir g to the varyingcost of living, development of indus-try and standard of comfort.Every industrious "workman shouldbe -able to keep , himself. and hisfamily in decency and comfort with-out shattering his health and happi-ness through excessive and exhaust-ing hours of labour. This limit isuniversally recognised and is thebasis for that equitable and' amic-able settlement of industrial ques-tions which is striven for by all pro-gressive and humane men andwomen. But there is another limitto industrial ■- conditions, a limitrecognised at all intelligent confer-ences and by all impartial adjudi-cating bodies, but ignored by allwho favour the strike. This otherlimit is created by the immutablenecessity for making every industrypay its way, a necessity directlypressing upon employers but in-directly pressing no less heavilyupon every employee. When strikesbeat an industry back against thislimit strikes must fail, for employershave then no option but to fight thematter out and public opinion—-which rarely makes a great mistakeupon questions touching it closelyrallies to their support. Undermodern conditions the marginbetween what an industry can pay toits employees and what it actuallydoes pay is rarely very wide, andas it becomes closer there is all themore need for a mutually conciliatoryspirit, so that irretrievable loss may

( not be inflicted upon both parties■as well as upon the public. The

encouragement of strikes as a popu-lar way of deciding difficult and com-

. plicated industrial problems is fatal; to the comfort of workmen, th©

security of employers and the pros-perity of the State, for at the beststrikes can never win permanentlywhat friendly conference cannot beexpected to give and at their worststrikes are a hopeless sacrifice to

i barbario ignorance. !

THE BUTTER TRADE.

, In spite of an exceptionally dry-

t season, the butter export trade of, Auckland maintains a volume which', justifies ■. the reputation of the pro-. vince as ideal...

dairying: country.i The slowly expanding occupation of, the land, with the increasing yield

i of improving herds, has more than[ counterbalanced the sparseness of, the rainfall during the summer, months, the 1912-13 season showing

I an export increase of 14 per cent., as5 compared with the corresponding, period of 1911-12. Any fear whichi may have been held as to the possi-bility of over-supplying the marketst of" fee United 'Kingdom has been

set at rest by the remarkable growth :of . trade with Vancouver, a • portwherein New Zealand shippers have .'an incontestable advantage againstDanish, -Siberian in«i Argentinancompetitors. TH Vancouver tradehas more than doubled since theprevious year, absorbing nearly30,000cwt during the season. Thereis every prospect of this Canadian :trade being greatly increased ...-as,facilities for shipment improve, andwe may also anticipate a healthy ,demand from the United Stateswhen the existing American import iduty is reduced or abolished, andwhen steamers' ply again between \

Auckland and San Francisco.Nearly a million pounds sterlingwill bo brought into Auckland in re-

turn for the season's export ofbutter produced on our dairy farmsand there is positively no reasonwhy this pleasant sum of money ■should not be doubled, trebled and [quadrupled in future years if Crown ,and Native Lands are made avail- ;able to our settlers and if reasonable :pare is exercised in the testing andselecting of cows. It is the uuty ofthe Government to pay the closestattention to the opening of land andthe provision of roads and railways.Money may be hard to borrow, but 'with butter at 120s per cwt moneyis not hard to produce if this greatindustry is suitably encouraged.The State is in need of foreigncapital mainly because loans raisedin the past have been squanderedon political railways and wasted incareless administration.

The balance-sheet and statement ofaccounts submitted to the HarbourBoard yesterday show that ampleprovision has been made for theworks in hand, and that the financesof the Board fully justify the obliga-tions which have been undertaken.When the harbour improvementsscheme was adopted it was suggested .by ' experts <*nd insisted by criticsthat the proposed work was far tooextensive for the prospects of theport and that the Board would finditself crushingly involved by the

j cost ,of wharves for whioh there| wouldbe no shipping and of reclama-tions for which there would be no

! suitable tenants. As a matter ofI fact the demands of shipping havepressed closely upon the work ofour busy wharf-builders, while thevalue of the reclamations is nolonger v challenged. The Board'sassets, *at a conservative valuation,are £918,000 in excess of its liabili-ties, while the Board's revenue of£l60; places it securely above anyrisk of financial embarrassment.The administration of the HarborBoard during; the past few, yearshas been much more than satisfac-tory. Confident in the future ofAuckland, and determined to do allin its power for. the trade uponwhich the city and province depend,the Board has worked along soundbusiness lines and is deserving ofhearty public appreciation for itswork. ■

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

NOVEL GAS GUN.What is claimed to be a remarkablemachine-gun has been invented by Mr.Ernest Welsh, a chemist; of Hull. Amodel gun which has been completedweighs about a hundredweight, or a third :of-'what the machine proper would weigh. !It iB discharged by explosive gases, andit is claimed that it will send projectilesa distance of five miles, which will thenignite whatever they hit. The mechanism,as briefly explained by Mr. Webb, con-sists in part of three generators whichmanufacture three distinct gases. In thestopper there is a small sponge saturatedwith a certain fluid, which also gives offa gas; whilst there is, further, a supplyof oxygen and hydrogen inside the cylin-der. The cylinder rests on a plate, and bythe setting into motion of a small electricmotor oh the right-hand side of the gunthe gases are exploded, and the projectileis propelled. through the muzzle. Mr.Welsh states that there is no recoil, andthere is no pressure on the outside of thecylinder. All pressure is felt forward.The nature of the gases is a seeret whichMr. Welsh would not divulge, but hestated that the .gun had been tested withsatisfactory results to himself and all whowitnessed the demonstration. He said:"It has taken me 13 years to find out thedifferent gases. The projectiles willignite on water, and although I have madethe stuff' I have not found out as yet whatwill extinguish the flames they cause."The tests referred to were made on somewooden buildings purchased for the occa-sion. Within 30 seconds of the projectilesstriking the buildings, he said, they werein flames, and photographs which he pro-duced showed that the buildings 1 wirequickly destroyed. The gun itself is 'not

• unlike a Maxim in appearance, and theprojectiles, Mr..Welsh says, are not largo—"lt iB the stuff they contain doesthe damage." He claims he 'can get asmuch destructive material in a projectileof thiß kind; as can be got into a 71b ; or141b shell. As a chemist he has beenaccustomed to handling explosives, and itwas whilst dealing with various gasesthat he accidentally discovered "thosewhich ate used in the gun and which thegun itself generates. There is no reportwhen the gun is fired. ,<

THE AUSTRALIAN WORKMAN.Discussing the energy and capacity of

the Australian workman, the SydneyMorning Herald says:—lt cannot bedenied-that in many trades, and with, avery large proportion of workmen, their

■ •'■•■'■;.' '.' '' ' ■ ' " '■'■''s ■''• ' '

! skill and capacity are not utilised ,to tne

i best advantage A majority, of employerscomplain that a coasiaerablo*ody of the*workmen perform their' daily tasks withJess **, and, wtth a gg«te tandew

! to shirk, than was previously the case;

that they approximate;;more to. machuies! and lass to craftsmen than formerly; thatthey are more concerned: with laying downtheir tools the moment therived for leaving their employment^ thanwith turning out a creditable piece of work

One hears these assertions on alludes, and

ihero can be no doubt, even when all a£lowances" have been .made, .that there is

a considerable substratum, of truth in them.What has brought this state of things

about! The increasing antagonism be-

tween capital and labour, theôntmualstruggle for a larger share of the profitsof industry,' the growing ****;£*£undoubtedly exists whatever £**»<""there may or may not be for it) that thewealth of the country 13 not equitablydißtribated-these factors enter into thenew spirit' which is found amongst theAustralian .artisans. But they do notwholly account for it. The "ca cannymovement in England, the . prejudiceagainst anything savouring of "speedingup," derived very largely from reports of

experiences in America, half-digested andlittle-understood economic theories winchfind their outlet in short-sighted attemptsto restrict immigration—these, too, havecontributed to therecent phase of the rela-tionship between employer and workman.Again, there has been the subdivision of

industry necessitating the participation ofthe worker in small mechanical processes,easily learnt, demanding; no special skill,and stimulating little or no - interest or

pride in his work. Tho growth of largefactories, as distinguished from tho s-nall

workshop, and the transfer of private busi-nesses into public companJe* have madeimpossible, or, at least, difficult, the oldpersons?! contact between employer and in-dividual worker which formerly obtained.Then a very large number of men havenow . the impression that they no longerneed to put forward special efforts or toplease their employers. They can obtaintheir desires from the wages board or Ar-bitration Court. The idea of mutual ser-vice has to a large extent disappeared.We believe that this is regrettable, what-ever economic views may be held with re-gard to the capitalistic system. The na-tional character must in the long run de-teriorate, the community, as a whole mustfall from-pride of place in the world xfits work tends to become shoddy, if thelabour that a man offers is dishonest, justas a merchant might nell goods that werenot up to sample, or a shopkeeper articlesunderweight.

. JAM ADULTERATION.The most modern way . of ■ dodging'. the

Pure Foods Acts is, says a London news-paper, very simple. If you want to sellsome cheap article at a high price, suchas cheap apple jolly for costly blackcurrant-jam, all that you need to do isto put on the labol .'!Improved black cur-rant jam." "Improved "is a far bettersounding word than "adulterated," yetthe difference between the two.-words hasexcused the sale of thousands of tons ofimitations of jam and marmalade all overthe world. Mr. Ernest Marriage, lectur-ing at the Royal Society of Arts on ''TheAdulteration of Jams," pressed the -abovestatement home, by laying bare some ofthe practices of the jam-making trade.The form of adulteration referred; to bythe lecturer as so general and to success-ful that it threatens to corrupt the wholejam trade was the addition of the pulpor the juice which is the filtered pulp),of cheap fruit 1 to dearer jams. The main-stay Of this' adulteration■' is ' the / apple,-whilst lemons, gooseberries, and even redcurrants are used in some cases. Rhubarb,too, though not a fruit, plays a most use-ful part in - M mixed vfruit";■■;' jams,./andperhaps provides . "fruit; juices" in otherpreserves. ''How widespread this prac-tice is," he said,' "a careful ;.study ,ofmanufacturers' labels {aided - again,; per-haps, by a magnifying glass) will show.Of course, it is not called adalteration,but the ' imprbveraent* of a jam ■' by the ;addition oi.; ?feh«*iJ choice fruit,' where pulp jis uscdj, or by the addition,;of ; fruit juices,'if ;the":adtdteraul has been filtered. ' Thoseadulterators who! boldly take 'then' chancesof prosecution,; or are confident in; theirability to 'defy discovery, are no doubt theminority. The majority are afraid of theconsequences, and seek to evade their legal.liability. The Food and Drugs" Act, mis-interpreted "by the .carelessness ; or. ignor-ance of magistrates, seems to. offer a wayof evasion by means of"cunningly wordedlabels, and; the Act whose very purposewas to put an end to adulteration becomesthe sheet anchor of the jam adulterator."The cost of; the currants needed for;pro-ducing a hundredweight of jam is about21s' 3d. If apples were used their costwould be 4s 6d. ,

Two 'stowaways, : John Hanslow andJohn Bricn, appeared before Mr. B. C.Cutten, S.M., at the Police Court yester-

-1 day, charged with having secreted them-* selves ton board the steamer Maheno on

1 her trip from Sydney'to Auckland. Oneof the accused pleaded in extenuation thathe had been obliged to adopt the course

, he had followed owing te his inability tosedure work in New South Wales. Chief-Detective McMahon stated that the ac:

» The growth of the southern Mount> Eden district is shown by an application» recently made to the School Committeei for enlargements to the newly-erected» Maungawhau school. This school, which

l was built to accommodate 350 children, "isf overflowing, and the application is fori a separate infants' department, to hold an'» additional 250 pupils. Before .the- pre-} sent, school was commenced, a building to' hold 450 children was asked for,; but• owing to the scarcity of money, the ; Gov-& eminent was disinclined to run the- risk

of spending more money than might'; benecessary. Mr. G. J. Garland (chairmanof the Education Board expects to be

f able to inform the School Committetj within a fortnight that the grant has beens made, as a strong case for the proposedi extension has.been placed before the Edu-c cation Department.

An offer to present two fine oil paint-ings to the Art Gallery has been mad© s ;

to the Mayor (Mr. C. J. Parr) by Mr. ,

John Marshall, of Auckland. While on 'l-fa tour through Europe, Mr. Marshall pur-chased the. pictures at Florence. One ofthe paintings, by Agrosti, is a partial-larly fine picture, beautifully coloured.It is an Italian subject entitled, "TheFirst Steps," and shows a tiny toddlerlearning .the first step of a dance, whilethe mother looks proudly on and an eldersister stands in readiness to prevent thelittle one from falling. •The grandfand grandmother are interested spectatorsof the lesson. All the figures are admir-ably executed, and no doubt the picturewill prove an acquisition to the gallery.The other picture is an Italian farmyardscene, by L. Lucidi, entitled, "TheCalves," and is an admirable work of art.The Mayor intends to bring Mr. Mar-shall's offer before the next meeting of theLibrary and Art Gallery Committee.

. Te Papapa, the handsome brick schoolat, Onehunga, which has just been com-pleted, is to, officially opened to-morrowafternoon it thrto o'clock. The speakerswill be Messrs. F. W.

Much interest has beenmanifested in the new school by the One- phunga residents, and it is expected thatthey will be present in large numbersat the opening ceremony.

The Wellington City Council received acopy of the resolution of the WoodvilleBorough Council asking for its approval ofa proposal to tax motor-cars and expendthe resultant moneys on the upkeep ofroads affected by motor traffic. TheFinance Committee recommended that thecouncil should not support the proposal,and the council followed its recommenda-tion.

Efforts to collect rates from native landsare being made with some measure of sue-- ; .;

cess by the Waitomo County Council (ourTe Kuiti correspondent writes). Duringthe ; financial year, out of a total collect-able amount of £316 the sum of £lO7 hasbeen received, and it is probable the re-mainder will be collected in due course.The Waitomo Council has found that by •,' • ;

placing the liabilities of the native ownerson the- rate-book a certain amount is col- ' \'ylected, and in the event of the land being .'fgidealt with the arrears are always collect- ,''','••,

able. This is a point which has escapedattention in the past, and those who have .

taken up land from natives have done so rwithout the usualinquiry as to whetherany arrears of rates were due.

5 of builders and: architects permanently ;y;;, upon buildings has been made by Mr.s G. Sydney Jones, president of the Tnsti- .■- tuto of Architects of New South Wales. ■

and the builder, as well as other matter •'-

. concerning the structure and the owner's -,T.. intention, regarding it. *■" Although this - ".[■

is to be expected from the Auckland Provines ; this week. Of this quantity ' nboat

I SOQO boxes are. to'be,(t;;.ken to VvaUingfconby the Corinna on Saturday for tranship-ment to the steamer Tainui, which leavesfor London shortly. The remaining: 8000boxes will form part of the cargA of thesteajneriMakura, which will leave Auck-land -on Friday for Vancouver. For theprevious fortnight 5926 boxes were ex-ported from, the province, the excess forthe present fortnight being accounted forby the fact : that a large quantity was heldoyer ■ for shipment by the Makura.:i Including the present fortnight's, ship-ments of butter, the total-exported'for thereason amounts to £26,058 boxes. (.165,170cwt), . ;as i compared with 286,080 boxes(143,040cwt) for the corresponding periodof last season. The increase of 40,278boxes {20,139cwt/ for... this ; season is there-fore equal to about 14 per cent. .

.The progress of this, the record seasonfor butter export from Auckland, has bieamarked by the great growth of the exporttrade to Vancouver. Last season : therewas a • considerable ; advance in the tradewith Vancouver, but figures are completelyeclipsed by the quantities exported to theCanadian port this year. There has beena. substantial increase in the export to theLondon market, but the trade with thewest coast of England has declined, owingto more profitable markets:being available.The butter export trade with South Africaand the Islands shows no material altera-tion. < ';' - : ■% _ ..

For the corresponding fort-night of last season 5826 boxes (2963cwt)were exported. The priceruling then was125s per cwt, so that the value of the cargoworked out at £16,889.

THE GIFT BATTLESHIP.

CHILDREN'S OPPORTUNITY.

FREE TRIPS ON THE TRAINS.

Both town and country children are tobe given an opportunity to visit H.MJ|>New Zealand when the battleship arrl^pat Auckland. Special efforts are being

' made by the Education Board and theGovernment in this direction, as it is con-

k sidercd that tho children would be afforded[ a fine object-lesson by such a visit.

i Tho country people are particularly-, anxious that their children should have> tho opportunity to visit the battleship,

. and from all parts of the province in-I qiurios are being made on behalf of the

. children. The" Huntly School Committeehas asked the Mayor (Mr. 0. J. Parr) if

i ho could make arrangements to lunch theHuntly schoolchildren in Auckland. TheMayor would like to be able to make sucharrangements, but ho does not see hisway clear to do so. Ho therefore con-ferred yesterday with Mr. G. J. Garland(chairman of the Education Board) andasked if the board would take the respon-sibility of lunching the children.

Mr.' Garland replied that the board hadno funds for such a purpose, and it would

i therefore bo quite impossible to take the[ responsibility.

Questioned afterwards by a Herald re-presentative Mr. Garland was asked if

" the board was malting any arrangements>. in connection with children coming to

> Auckland from a distance. " Yes, ' ho, replied, " tho board has sent a general let-

ter to school committees, giving authority' to them to give three days' holiday dur-

ing tho period the battleship is in port• in Auckland. The dates, of the holidayt are left to the discretion of the commit-

tees so as to fit in with local arrange-ments.'

With regard to children coming fromHamilton and other districts along theline, Mr. Garland said that he had madearrangements with tho Railway Depart-ment for all primary schoolchildren tocome to Auckland free of cost,was' made that the children must returnto their respective homes on the cftme day,the object of this provision being to pro-

, vent congestion at the end of the week.1 Tho teachers of the schools wore expected

to take charge of the children on their• visit to Auckland.

i Mr. Garland expressed the hope that, tho suggestion that the battleship should

berth at the Queen Street Wharf shouldbe carried out, &s this would, rive the

' children greater opportunities of inspects■ ing the vessel, and no expense would bo

; incurred by the poorer classes in the way, of ferry 'fares. He know the commandors

of the navy had strong objections to hav-' ing their vessels tied tip to a wharf, but

; he hoped on this occasion the objections' might be waived for the sake of the chil-

dren, ••' -

, A BOXING CARNIVAL.The executive committee of the Nor-

thern Boxing Association met last even-ing to consider tfaf (suggestion that a two-nights' boxing carnival should bo held inconnection:with the celebrations of wel-come to the battleship's officers and crow.

[' It was decided bv the executive to holda two nigh-n' carnival on the evenings ofMay .9 and iO. It was further "decided torecommend to the City Council that the

i programme 4ach night should include one. professional bout and four amateur con-

;': teste. As boxing is a popular pastime in■ the navy, it is expected- that the crew

: will have several capable exponents of the'. art. its ranks. An endeavour will there-

fore be made to match members of theI crew; against localamateurs.

A sub-committee, eonsieting of Messrs., P. R. Greenhough, ,M. Balliri and F. Bur-

i bush,, was appointed to wait on the sportscommittee,: which has this department ofthe celebrations in hand, and to arrangedetails for, the. boxing carnival.

THE CAMBRIDGE CAMP.

SYSTEM IN WORK AND PLAY.

GEOWTH OF ESPRIT DE CORPS

DEMOCRATIC SPIRIT REIGNS.jj -

'< [BY TEUSORATH.—SPECIAL EEPORTEB-lCambridge, Monday.

1 Anotiter successful day has been spent bythe brigade camp at Cambridge. Only

- about five minutes' rain has marred the, uniform fairness of the weather since the

camp commenced. The nights are very, cold, and those who have come ill-provided

, with bedclothes have had much reason toj repent the oversight. When reveille

; sounds at 5.30 a.m.,. it takes some effortj of will to leave the shelter of the tent,j but since most of tho men are required to

t fall in for parado at six o'clock, there is, not much time to spend wondering whether

to get up. Reveille is not tho least musical[ of tho bugle-calls, but it is probably the[ least popular.

■ ■ Tho whole day's programme is, as faras possible, systematised. After morning

I parade comes breakfast. After a briefI interval, the "fall-in" is again sounded,

' and work recommences. Everyone is keptbusy until almost dinner-time, when the

t men are again dismissed, being summonedi by tho dinner-call shortly afterwards, to> the mid-day meal. Another interval, and

) the insistent bugle-call proclaims duty• onco again. The afternoon's round varies' little from that of tho morning, except that[ when the men are dismissed they are free' for the day, unless doing punishment duty

. or detailed for special work.Scenes of Meal Hours.

1 Even the meal hour is not allowed to1 pass without an organised plan being en-

• lorced. In some cases, the men have their• meals in their tents. When this rule

> obtains, one man from each tent is do-» tailed for orderly duty. He draws rations,

t such as butter, jam, bread, biscuits, and, cheese, from the store-tent, and obtains

• the cooked food from tho "kitchen." It, is his duty to see that no scraps or litteri are permitted to be left about the tents,

• to clean the utensils in which the food isserved and to return them to the cooks

■, or the company quartermaster, ready for[ use. Where' the men have their mealsI away from the tents a similar system is

> followed. Tho company is supplied withrations by tho section, and not by tho

' tentful. Two men from each section are, detailed as mess, orderlies, with duties

similar to thoso in the coso of tent order-lies. The lot of the orderly is a hard one.

' He is bullied by the cooks, and tormented' by those upon whom ho waits. The former

1 look upon him as being capable of any-thing m tho way of palming off dirty"dixies" (camp kettles) as clean, whilethe men of his tent or section unite inabusing him, principally because no oneknows when it will be his turn to fill the

' some post and submit to the same ordeal.A Good. Commissariat.

' Meal boars are the liveliest of the day.For a time discipline is relaxed. Work is

i relegated to the background, and aI running fire of badinage is kept up.

Everybody unites in abusing tho quality' of the food, but the celerity with which• it disappears and the fact that tho orderly

1 officer, making his formal rounds, seldom' has to listen to a formal complaint, Shows

1 that the abuse of the food is only a sur-' vival of a long-standing military custom, j

A Stew Social Seals.; Regrets are . sometimes voiced by menwho nave experienced smaller camps that

'.. this one should have been upon such a, scale, as its size destroys much of tho-.'-[' sociability of the camp, which feigns when •, it is possible after the first day or two

to have a nodding acquaintance prac-tically everyone in the lines. .Apart fromthe* fact that ' organisation upon such a;

, huge scale gives the:: officers a valuableexperience, which could not .gained. in ;smaller camps, the fact that, tbero. are.several regiments placed side by sidetends to accentuate esprit, de corps amongthe men, Two men meet after nightfall.One challenges in the formula adopted bytho sentry :«• Who* goes there?". Theother replies, say, "3rd Regiment,JCCompany," ox- "6th Regiment, "B* Com-pany," and should both belong, to thesame unit there is at once a ooad be-tween them.

.

; Particularly noticeable is tho way in. which distinctions recognised in civil life, are completely levelled in camp. A man

is valued entirely according to his mili-tary rank—wealth or social position inordinary affairs being relegated entirely,to the background. Thus it appears

1 strange at first to see a fully qualifiedbarrister and solicitor, detailed as a pri-vate to do fatigue work, and placed be-,neath the authority of a non-commis-

: sioned officer who might be considerablybelow him in the ordinarily-acceptedsocial scale. Instances of tho same sortof thing might doubtless bo multipliedindefinitely were it possible ;

to obtain adetailed return of the occupations of thoseunder canvas for the week:

Worfc of the Speclallats. |While the infantry companies were en- i

gaged in ordinary drill, marching oxer-ciees, squad, company, and regimental in-

struction, the specialist corn* continuedth" work b-3!jun previously. The engineers.veW occupied building 'military en-gines," digging trenches, and generallyaddinsr to their reputation as tho mechani-cal' experts to the forces. ; The membersof the ambulance corps busied themselveswith stretcher drill, while the arrival ofa draft of horses - enabled them to bringout their two large ambulance waggons.The chain of comumcation establishedwith Hamilton was maintained to-day bytho signalling squads. From shortly after*seven o'clock in the morning,,tha .flashingof. the heliograph from the WHs where thesanatorium is situated, showed, that thestation .there was at work, and severalservice 7 messages were despatched duringthe day. The telephone squad of thesame company.continued its work of lay-Frig the telephone down the lines, consul-erable progress being made.

....

The camp takes on its homeliest airjust at dusk, when the tents begin toSton, while, the band playing outaidethe regimental messes adds a further toneof gaiety to the atmosphere. Given acontinuance of fine weather the brigadecamp at Cambridge should easily rank asSmoet successful held in the Aucklandmilitary district since the inauguration ofthe present dofeneo scheme.

HANDLING OF CEMENT.

POSITIOW AT WARKWORTH.

WATEBSIDERS INTERESTED.

A special general meeting of the Auck-land Waterside Workers' Union was heldon Sunday morning to consider the union'sposition in rogard to the handling of Wil-sons cement from Warkworth, which, it isalleged, was made by free labour.

It appears that tho Warkworth men! were formed as a branch of the old Auck-

i land General Labourers' Union, there' being bomo 130 members, with a local

secretary and other officers.» It was stated at Sunday's meeting that' during the recent trouble with the General■ Labourers' Union in Auckland, it had been

decided by the employers in Warkworth1 that their men must register under the

1 Arbitration and Conciliation Act.'_ The' union, however, had decided to submit the

question of whether they should withdraw1 from the New Zealand Federation of

Labour, and the Auckland General' General Labourers' Union, to form a now

: union under the Arbitration and Concilia-: tion Act, to "a ballot. Tho voting resulted

' in an overwhelming majority in favour- of the union remaining firm to the Fcdera--1 tion. *

1 : The result of the ballot, it was alleged,| had led to the dismissal of a number of' tho Warkworth men., Tho Waterside- Workers' Union discussed

tho matter fully at its meeting, and re-[ solved that its president (Mr. E. C. Can-

, ham) Bhould interview the management ofthe Wilsons Cement Company in regardto the matter. The results of tho presi-dent's mission will be communicated to a

, further special meeting of the union, to boheld later in the week. 7,

THE COMPANY SURPRISED.

A SHORTENING OF HANDS.The manager of tho company (Mr. F.

W. Wilwn) said that the news of troubleat Warkworth was a surprise to him. AHtho cement companies had lately beenslack, and his firm has found it necessaryto pay-off altogether 44 men. Neither indismissing the men, nor in the subsequentreinstatement of some of-the hands, hadany favour been shown to any of them.For some time past the men had beenworking under an agreement, and the com-pany had been perfectly satisfied with theway the terms had been kept. The chargethat somo of tho men had been victimisedwas unfounded, nor had tho companymade any effort to force the union toregister under the Arbitration Act.

THE GOVERNMENT'S PLANS.

AWAITING FURTHER ADVICE.

[BY TKMGBAPB.—VVZ3S ABSOCIATIOK.]

Wakqaoti. Monday.The Prime Minister (the Hon. W. F.Massey) arrived .Wanganui this after-noon, and to-night was accorded a veryhearty welcome at a social ■ organised faythe Reform League. During the day he

toured the Patea and Waverley districts,

and visited Moumahaki State farm.Speaking at Moumahaki, the Prime

Minister said there was every encourage-ment for the Government to continueagricultural education on progressivelines. With regard to the projected estab-lishment of an agricultural college, hesaid it was the intention of the Govern-ment to work in with Lincoln College mtho South Island, but nothing would bedone in the North Island just yet. Aquestion to bo decided was whether twocolloges would meet the requirements ofthe Dominion. Lord Islington had con-tended that three were necessary. In thomeantime, Mr. Allen, at his request,would return to New Zealand via Canadawith the object of visiting and reportingupon the agricultural colleges of thatDominion. The Government fully realisedthat in order to compete with othercountries every advantage must be givento tho youths of this Dominion to obtainthe best agricultural education that couldbo afforded them. Hawkesbury College,in New South Wales, was looked upon atpresent as a good . standard.

In his speech this evouing, Mr. Maasejrsaid that since his arrival in Wanganuiho had received a cable conveying tho .gratifying intelligence that tho debentures ;in the last loan, which were issued at£BB per cent., were now selling at a pre-mium, the present quotation being £997s 6d.

The Prime Minister will receive anumber of deputations in the morning,and he will then leave for. PalmerstonNorth, en route to Wellington.

WASGANm, Monday. IfThe nv'ti*ion to secure totalisator per- ■>

brought under the notice of the Prime '''-

Minister at Patea to-day. A deputation '?■•"'/from tho Patea Racing Club asked for therestoration o* its license.

Mr. Massey said that, in bis opinion, sofar as racing 'was concerned the law inthis country was in a very unsatisfactorycondition. His sympathies wero with thosmall country meetings conducted purelyfor sport. Tho Government ,had not yethad an opportunity of considering whetherthere will be any legislation introducedduring the forthcoming session, but Par-liament will unquestionably bo given anopportunity of expressing its opinion asto whether some permits should bo re-stored to certain country clubs from whichthey had been taken. In matters ofpolicy one member of the Governmentcould not commit all his colleagues, andas it was the Minister for Internal Affairswho had the administration of the Act,ho would convey to him the representa-tions which had been made by the depu-tation.. Mr. Massey added that ho could promisethat when the House met he would takaan opportunity of conferring with thomembers of country districts, and it was . .

quite possible that some way out of the ,difficulty which had arisen might present •

itself. But ho wished to make it per- ifectly plain that he did not think the ~
