WAIKAREMOANA POWER.

ADVICE FOR GOVERNMENT.

PRO. HORNELI. TO REPORT

NO RAISING OF LAKE-LEVEL.

(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Keporter.)WELLINGTON, Wednesday.

Professor P. G. Hornell, the Swedishexpert who is to report on Arapuni,has "been asked by the Government toadvise it as to the position at Waikare-moana, according to a statement madein the House to-day by the Hon. (-W.B. Taverner, Minister of Public Works.

This information was supplied inanswer to a question by Mr. W. E. Bar-nard (Napier), who was also informedby the Minister that it would be uselessinstalling the third unit at the powerhouse at Tuai until the flow from thelake had been regulated. It was inti-mated by the Minister that No. 3 schemecould be proceeded with, but the De-partment was at present carrying out in-vestigations to ascertain what would bethe best course to follow in connectionwith the generation of further powerfrom Lake Waikaremoana.

Answering questions on the same sub-ject by Mr. J. S. Fletcher (Grey Lynn),the Minister said that no scheme toraise the lake-level at Waikaremoanahad ever been considered. It was nota fact that during .the last dry spellthere was not sufficient water to drivethe two turbines at full capaciy. Theregulatory works had not yet beenstarted, and until those were completedthe third machine would not be in-stalled. In accordance with contractarrangements, the Wellington CityCouncil's steam plant at Evans Baywas utilised during the maker's effici-ency tests of the Waikaremoanamachines, during which one machine ata time could not be used on commercialload. All the output was sold in ac-cordance with contracts, and the pricewas not affected _by the arrangementsmade for the provision of extra power.

NORTHERN ROADS.HELP FROM HIGHWAYS BOARD

PETROL TAX DISCUSSED.(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

DARGAVILLE, Wednesday.At the annual meeting of the localbranch of the New Zealand Farmers'

Union Mr. W. A. Morgan was re-efectedchairman, Mr. C. N. Taylor vice-presi-dent, Mr. F. Herdegen, secretarv, andMessrs. F. Staples, E. C. Frost, J. Hill,Taylor, W. Crawford and Geo. Druittto the executive.

The meeting decided to ask Messrs.A. E. Harding and J. G. Barclay togather full particulars in regard to thederating of farm lands with a viewto discussion at the next monthly meet-ing of the branch.

Mr. Barclay stated that farmers werelikely to fall into a trap by suggestingthe petrol tax as a means of deratingfarm lands. Some countries, he said,had reduced their rates through the helpof outsiders and from the HighwaysBoard. He understood that more wasbeing spent in North Auckland by theHighways Board than was being re-ceived from petrol and tyxe taxes andtheir roads had been improved.

BOOT TRADE.

ARBITRATION COURT CASE

EMPLOYEES ASK FOB HIGHERMINIMUM RATE.

PROTECTION" OF INDUSTRY. !

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent! r |

WELLINGTON", Wednesday,-^'The Dominion boot trades industrial

dispute cam 6'before tie Court of Arbi-tration for bearing to-day. The partieswere represented as follows: Employees,Messrs. C. A. Watts (Auckland), J.Moore (Wellington), M. F. Eobson(Christehurdh), P. Jones (Dtxnedin) $

employers, Messrs. T. 0. Bishop, W. Mc-Kinley (Eunedin), H. R. Best (Christ-church), H. Clark (Auckland).

Mr. Justice Frazer remarked tbat bewas pleased to see tbat tbe greater partof tbe award bad been agreed to.

Mr. Watts, in placing before tbeCourt the employees' wages claims, saidtbe operatives felt that the time hadarrived when tbe minimum rate shdkildbe raised to tbat of tbe other trades."More especially is this necessary," besaid, "in view of the fact that we haveagreed to accept the piecework systemas safeguarded, but whereas the recom-mendations of the footwear committeeprovide for an increase of ten pat centabove the minimum rates, as againstthe 25 per cent of the English bootoperative, we feel that this Court shouldmake tbe adjustment tbat will removethe anomaly. We suggest tbat tbe claimfor the rate of 2/6 an hour is not un-reasonable.

"When tie Court considers the effectof the change in the Customs tariff,which discloses the fact that the pro-tection afforded the New Zealand bootmanufacturer is nearly 45 per cent to-day, instead of the 35 per cenit of 12months ago, and also that in the threeyears, 1926, 19*27 and 1928, the differ-ence between the value of the productand wages and materials used was£178,931, £185,837 and £198,044, we sub-mit that even a 10 per cent increase inwages will still leave the manufacturerin a most favourable position. We feelthat we are now entitled to the samerate as the Australian operative, whois also under a 45 per cent protectivetariff." ..

With regard to the wages of females,ithe union sought a weekly wage andweekly employment instead of thehourly rate. It was submitted that therate at present paid .of £2 10/ was alto-gether too low, and as compared withthe wages of English and Australianworkers was inadequate.

Mr. Bishop said the employers wereasking for a renewal of the award. Theprice of commodities had fallen through-out the world, and those commoditieswhich New Zealand exported have beenparticularly affected. The income fromexports for the 1929-30 year was about£8,000,000 ' less than for the previousyear.

In addition to >the fall in prices ofexports there had been a general de-cline of prices of imports, and the NewZealand manufacturer was, therefore,affected in two ways. He suffered fromthe generally reduced purchasing powerof his pustomers, and he suffered alsofrom the lowered prices at which hehad to sell, in order to meet his foreigncompetition. •

The general economic situation ofNew Zealand, if it continued for another

| year, would make it impossible to main-tain any longer the disparity betweenthe wages in sheltered and the wages inunsheltered industries.

After quoting the figures for tie pastthree years, Mr. Bishop said there hadbeen a general decline of prices of im-ported lines, which had to be met bylocal manufacturers. He asked the Courtto consider the wages question in thelight of the general economic situation,and also with due regard to the condi-tions prevailing throughout the indus-try. ' Other aspects of the industrybefore the Court for consideration werefinishing, piecework, holiday pay, em-ployment of boys, a female award, andcasual hands. Under the female sectionthe employers asked for no alterationin the award.

COMMUNITY SINGING.

OLD FAVOURITES REVIVED,

Community singing at the Town Hallgrows more popular every week. Thebuilding was crowded for yesterday sgathering. "Uncle Tom" (Mr. T. Gar-land) of wireless repute was the leaderfor the occasion and the hour seemed togo all'too quickly for some people. Oldsongs of twenty or thirty years back wererevived and some of the young peopleheard for the first time, such tunes as"Belle Mahone," and "Sweet Adeline"and their melody was quite appealing."When Johnny Comes Marching Home,"was thought a great song in its day,and as the audience found out it cer-tainly goes - with a swing. The peopleeven took kindly to "Daisy, Daisy, GiveMe Your Answer True," which a fewyears back was played on every con-ceivable instrument and whistled byevery office boy in the town. "ThreeBlind Mice" is one of the old favouritesthat never die, like "We Won't Go HomeTill Morning," and others of the kind,The big audience sang it as a roundwith greatest gusto. "Silver ThreadsAmong the Gold" and "Annie Laurie"are not only venerable, but they aremost musical, and belong to the class ofmelodies that appeal to the most sophis-ticated as well as to the sentimental."Aunt Jean" (Mrs. IST. V. Le Petit) sang"Happy Song" charmingly, and naturallymany of those present were interested inseeing the owner of the votee they hadso often heard on the wireless.

Even more interest was taken in theappearance of "Cinderella" -whose voiceis known to so many people who own awireless set or have a friend who ownsone. Her real name was not announced,but the children in the audience foundher no less interesting; they gave hera wonderful reception. Both "AuntJean" and "Cinderella" had bunches offlowers presented to them and "UncleTom" received a facetious cauliflower.Mrs. Barrington Snow at the piano, Mr.Owen Pritchard, violin, and Mr. Arch.Don, saxophone, supplied the accompani-ments. The leader for next week'sgathering will be Mr. Owen Pritchard.

WESTPORT-STOCKTON MINE.

LOSS OF BUSINESS,

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)WESTPORT, Wednesday.

A serious position has developed at theWestport-Stockton mine, con-sequent on the loss of the Railway Depart-ment's orders. Until -a fortnight ago thecompany had a contract for the supply ox1300 tons of coal a week. This has sincebeen reduced to 300 tons a week.

.

With the settlement of the strike inAustralia, and the importation of Aus-tralian coal, household orders for btocktoncoal have almost ceased. In consequencethe mines are likely to be worked only twoto three shifts a week with consequent lossto the company, the miners, and the rail-way revenues.

WALLAROO-MOUNT LYELLfertilisers.

At' the half yearly meeting of theWallaroo-Mount Lyell Fertilisers, Limited,held in Adelaide, the chairman (Mr.Prosser, M.L.C.) referred to the troubloustimes which the company and other com-panies had had to face, with resultantlowe? profits. The 1929-30 season in SouthAustralia was particularly disappointing,and was practically a record dry-seedingseason, and although late rains were ex-perienced, late orders for superphosphatewere received after the close of the com-pany's financial year. Mr. Prosser toldshareholders that in South Australia theselling price of superphosphatehad reacheda figure (after adjusting the grade of super-phosphate then used to that now com-monly consumed) of 10 _ per cent belowthe pre-war level. He said that this wasunique, and neither England nor Americahad achieved this result. Owing to theincidence of increased taxation' it wasimpossible at present to make any fore-cast of the result of. the company's busi-ness for the ensuing twelve months. Thedirectors, however, looked with confidenceto a renewaT of the business entrusted toit by its customers.

LIVE STOCK MARKETS.

GENERAL TONE HEALTHY.

but prices are low.

HEAVY DOMINION EXPORTS,

The export market for New Zealandmeat and dairy produce still reflects thegeneral low price level. Since last reportbest quality New Zealand lamb, whichhad been steady at 9d per lb for sometime, dropped to B%d. The reason given

was that the demand had fallen oitslightly on account of the holiday season.The mutton market, for which quotationshave been exceedingly low in recentmonths, is unaltered. Shippers of pigs

will "oe glad to note that after a periodof stagnation a demand has set in forNew Zealand porkers at fair prices.

That Dominion meat producers haveplaced a heavy strain on the British mar-ket in a time of severe depression will beseen from the following .figures showingshipments from New Zealand to theUnited Kingdom from October 1 toAugust 15 in 1928-29 and 1929-30.

1928-29 1929-30Beef quarters .... 143,301Beef boneless (bags) 108,2b-Lamb carcases ..

• 5,546,611 6,210,33yMutton 1 493,180 1,867,690Pork „

••••108,202 76,090

From the foregoing it will be seen thatover half a million more carcases of lambhad been shipped at August 15. Of thetotal, more than 5,000,000 were sent directto London. When it is remembered thatgreatly increased shipments of lamb andmutton went forward from South Americaas well as fair quantities from Australia,it will be recognised that prices werebound to fall.

The market for dairy produce continuesweak. Butter has dropped from 5/ to 6/per cwt in the week, and cheese 2/ to 3/.

At local sales there is still a first-classdemand for fat stock, but in regard tostore sheep business is limited.

Despite low prices for butterfat the keendemand for dairy cattle lias not slackened.

Climatic conditions continue favourable,and the advent at Westfield yesterday ofthe first spring lambs of the season servesas a reminder that a new production yearhas begun.

THE ADDINGTON MARKET

SHEEP AND CATTLE DEARER,

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday.Features of the weekly stock market

at Addington to-day were the sharp risesin the values of both fat cattle and fatsheep. The cattle especially recorded avery substantial rise. Butchers' ewes werebetter by 3/ to 5/ a head, freezing weightsby 3/ a head, and others by 1/ to 2/ ahead. Over an exceptionally keen salewethers were better by 2/ to 3/ a head.The cause of this advance was the shortsupply and keen competition.

Store Sheep.—About 1200 were offered,practically all ewes. The quality was in-different, and the general tone of themarket was dull.

Spring Lambs.—There were 15 forwardand the top price was 39/3. The pricerealised was equal to 1/3 per lb.

Fat Sheep.—A short entry of 3900 head,as compared with 6000 last week. Valueswere: Show wethers, to 50/10; extraprime, to 38/1; prime, 30/ to 34/; medium,25/6 to 29/; light, 21/ to 24/6; extra primeewes, to 31/7; prime, 22/6 to 26/6; medium,19/ to 22/; light, 15/6 to 18/; aged, 13/ to15/; extra, prime hoggets, to 35/7; prime,26/6 to 29/3; medium, 22/ to 25/6; light,17/6 to 21/.

Fat Cattle.—A short entry of 398 head,as compared with 460 at the last market.There were consignments forward fromOtago, Chatham Islands and the NorthIsland. Best handy-weight steer and heiferbeef made from 44/ to 48/ per 1001b; bestheavy-weight steer beef, 38/6 to 42/6;medium quality, 34/6 to 37/6; best cowbeef, 36/ to 38/; secondary, to 35/; rough,down to 26/.

Fat Pigs—A fair entry of- porkers,although baconers were in short supply.The demand for porkers, which, althoughon the small side, were of good quality,was keen, and prices remained on a parwith last week's. Baconers did not meetwith such a spirited sale, and prices werea little easier. Values were: Porkers, 40/6to 60/; heavy porkers, 61/6 to 72/6 (aver-age price, per lb. Blid to lOd); baconers,£3 15/6 to £4 8/6; heavy baconers, to £5-11/6 (average price per lb, 7d to 7%d):;:

choppers, £3 to £6 3/6.

IN THE WAIKATO.

FAT SHEEP SELL WELL,

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

HAMILTON, August 27.The market generally has been quiet

during the past week. Beef prices con-tinue good, while mutton ia more thanholding its own. -Prime fat ewes havebeen especially scarce, and it appears thatvery few lines of this class are now beingheld. At Frankton sale this week a truckof heavy fat ewes made 25/7. Very fewstore sheep are being yarded, and quota-tions are hard to obtain. Dairy cattle arestill being keenly sought after, and it isdifficult to supply the demand. Storecattle are not coming on to the market,but no doubt conditions in this sectionwill change as the feed comes away andthe price advances. Quotations are asfollow:—

Beef.—There was a further rise in beefat Frankton this week, values beinghigher than anything yet realised thisseason. At the various country salesvalues have been good throughout. Primequality ox has been making up to 42/ per1001b; prime young cow and heifer, 40/ to42/; ordinary cow, 34/ to 36/.

Fat Sheep.—Medium yardings have beencoming forward, and the demand has beenquite equal to the supply. Prime fatwethers have been making up to 30/;medium, 27/ to 28/; prime fat ewes, 24/to 25/6; fat lambs, 20/ to 22/; medium, 18/to 20/.

Store Cattle—lt is likely that there willbe increased inquiries for_ all classes ofstore cattle, but the yardings that havebeen coming forward to the variouscentres are very small and of only mediumquality. A few store cows find their wayinto the yards, and anything young fit togo into the fattening paddock is realisinggood prices. Four-year-old'*" steers havebeen selling up to £10; three-year-oldsteers, £7 10/ to £8 10/; two-year-oldsteers, £5 10/ to £6 10/; yearling steers,£3 10/ to £4 10/; forward-conditionedsteers, £4 15/ to £5 15/; store cows, £215/ to £3 15/; Jersey yearling heifers, £5to £6; medium, £4 to £4 10/; smallmixed coloured heifers, £2 15/ to £3 15/.

Store Sheep.—Very few store sheep arebeing offered either in the yards orprivately. Quite a good inquiry has sprungup for hoggets and store wethers, withvery few lines offering. Fat and forwardwethers, from £1 to 22/6; two-toothwethers, 18/ to £1; empty ewes, 10/ to12/; best woolly hoggets, 15/ to 16/;medium, 14/; shorn hoggets, 12/ to 13/.

Dairy Cattle.—Of the dairy heifersyarded there has been a percentage ofsmall and poor-conditioned heifers, and nodoubt this has helped to account for anyanimals that are well-grown and close toprofit being so eagerly sought after. Cows,with the exception of culls, are practicallyoff the market. Best dairy cows have beenmaking up to £12; medium, £10 to £11;heifers, close to profit, £12 to £14/;medium, £10 to £12; backward and small,£7 10/ to £8 10/.

Pigs.—Owing to the small yardings com-petition for fat pigs is still limited. How-ever, good stores and weaners are sellingat satisfactory prices. Best baeoners, £3to £3 10/; porkers, £2 10/ to £2 18/;medium, £2 to £2 8/; stores, 33/ to 38/;slips, 26/ to 32/; weaners, 15/ to 25/.

DAIRY WEALTH AND PROBLEMS.

For the cause that lacks assistance,For the wrong that needs resistanoe,For the future in the distance,A.nd the good that we can do.

In several respects the annual meeting ofthe New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Com-pany is of extraordinary interest. The sizeof the company's turnover, the co-operativenature of its business, the multiplicity of itsinterests, combine to give it a place of itsown in New Zealand and the Empire. Hereis a concern with a turnover of £6,612,000and an output of over 44,000 tons, whichmakes butter and cheese and allied pro-ducts, conducts subsidiary businesses, and islinked with marketing organisations thatcontrol a large portion of New Zealand'soutput. It manufactures the products of thefarmer and does much to educate him in theways of better farming. Most valuable workis being done in the improvement of pasturesand of herds. As a result of herd testing theoutput per cow in the Dominion has risenfrom 1751b to 2251b in seven years, whichmeans a large addition to the wealth of theDominion at small cost.

The truth is that the New. Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company is the largestexample in New Zealand of the processknown as "rationalisation," which manybusiness men and economists believe willeventually be the general rule. At yes-terday's meeting Mr. Goodfellow gave someimpressive figures for the growth of combinedbuying in Britain, and justified the operationsof new selling organisations in New Zealandon the ground that combination had to bemet by combination. The Imperial Confer-ence is to be asked to consider a Statescheme of purchase in bulk of Empire goodsimported into England, which is anotherapplication of rationalisation; and with thisis naturally linked the question of preference.Thus very important developments in market-ing are possible. For the rest we may noteMr. Goodfellow's inclusion of the scarcity ofgold among the reasons for the fall of pricesand his remarks about competition from othercountries. This will come mainly, in the imme-diate future, from Denmark and the BalticStates; Denmark's exports of dairy produceto Britain last year were 109,000 tons, againstour 65,000. New Zealand, says Mr. Good-fellow, will have to fight to retain and extendher market in Britain, but he is sure of theultimate result; for the reason that NewZealand can produce at a lower cost. It willnot do, however, to take this for granted.Every effort must be made to increase pro-duction, improve quality, and reduce costs.

AUSTRALIA'S CREDIT.

The New South. Wales Labour party hasdisplayed extremist tendencies for many yearspast, and its reception of the financial agree-ment recently arranged by the Premiers'Conference at Melbourne is worthy of itstraditions and its reputation. The industrialand political wings of the movement havecombined to recommend that the agreementshould be repudiated and that any memberrefusing to obey this edict should be expelledfrom the party as "an enemy of the workingclasses." They have further proposed theconcellation of war debts, a five years' mora-torium on the payment of interest for over-sea Commonwealth loans and "a mobilisationof credit to provide work and sustenance forthe unemployed."

It should hardly be necessary to enlargeupon the folly, not to say insanity, thatcharacterises these proposals. Howevercomplicated the causes of the present finan-cial crisis may he, it is indisputablethatAustralia's chief difficulty for the momentis the imperative need for finding money tomeet her debts and to pay her'way. Quiteapart from the ethical aspects of the ques-tion, even a hint of repudiation might strikea fatal blow at the debilitated credit of the

' Commonwealth or at least effectually preventthe recovery which the whole nation is co-operating to ensure. Looking at the matterfrom the practical side alone, Mr. Scullin, justbefore his departure, declared that "repudia-tion would be calamitous to the whole struc-ture of the present system and would thrownearly a million people out of work." Insimilar terms the official statement whichaccompanied the publication of the agreementwarns the people of Australia that repudia-tion "would involve not only national disgraceand dishonour but would mean immediatefinancial disaster which would be followed byunemployment on an unprecedented scale,with all its attendant human suffering."

In the opinion of the Labour Governmentof Australia, therefore, the policy suggestedby the New South Wales Labour party wouldentail the most deplorable and disastrousconsequences. It is, of course, some consola-tion to know that Mr. Scullin takes a saneview of the situation and that Mr. Fenton,who will be acting-Prime Minister during Mr.Scullin's absence, has declared that his Gov-ernment will stand by the agreement at allcosts. It is characteristic of the sheer muddle-headed ignorance which marks this threatof repudiation that its supporters, havingproposed to destroy Australia's public creditcompletely, suggest, with singular fatuity "amobilisation of credit" in the interests ofthe workers. People on .this side of theworld understand perfectly well that suchutterances as these do not represent eitherthe intelligence or the economic knowledge orthe moral standards of the Australian workersas a whole. But, unfortunately, critics else-where are not so familiar with the eccentri-cities of the New South Wales Labourleaders, and the fact that the "Daily Tele-graph" and the "Morning P'ost" seem inclinedto treat these follies seriously is ominous ofevil for Australia's reputation and credit atHome. |

NEWS OF THE DAY.Poor Anemones.

Many gardening enthusiasts are bitterly dis-appointed with their anemones so far, and itappears'that the season for these popular flowersis going to be a poor one. Hundreds of theplants, even although they have been fed withliquid manure, are weedy and sickly-looking andthe flowers are of poor colour. There are excep-tions, of course, but generally speaking theblooms are disappointing. One nurseryman saysthat the anemones are poorer than for manyyears.

Barque Examiner's Grave.In recent interesting reminiscences about old

ships and hulks a writer in the "Star," referringto the barque Examiner, said her grave was onthe south side of Brown's Island, among the

i bones of several of the old Devonport ferries,such as the Victoria, and the still older Tainui."Yachtsman" writes to say that the Examiner'sremains will be found in Matiatia, the pretty

! little bay on the western end of Waiheke, sopopular with Auckland yachtsmen.

Girls' Cricket Ground."The game has been enthusiastically taken

: up by the COO girls attending the school, and Iconsider that money would be well spent on im-provements," said Mr. A. Burns, at a meetingof the Auckland Grammar School Board yester-day, when a request was received from the EpsomGirls' Grammar School for improvements to thecricket area during the holidays. The chairman,Professor A. P. W. Thomas, and Mr. Burns wereappointed to arrange for the immediate com-mencement of the work, so that the groundswould be ready for the coming school term.

Crown Lands Ratable."Well, I'm very glad to see it," said the

Mayor, Mr. J. P. McPhail, at a meeting of theBirkenhead Borough Council last evening, re-ferring to the Supreme Court decision thatproperties reverting to the Crown are ratable."The position before this decision," he said, "wasserious for local bodies, because more and moreproperties were falling back into the hands ofthe Crown, and the amount of rates was corres-pondingly less." Birkenhead was affected by thedecision, and many other districts would be alsoThe decision was a fair one, as there seemed tobe no reason why the Crown should not be treatedas a private individual.Prowler in Epsom.

A prowler was about in Mount St. JohnAvenue on Tuesday evening and he gave at leastone woman a fright. The woman was in an up-stairs bedroom when she heard a noise in the back-yard. She switched out the electric light andlooked out the window. The night was fairly dark,but she was able to make out the figure of a sinall-statured man on the ground below. He liftedthe lids off two dustbins, replaced them and thensat down on a bank. He remained seated forabout five minutes and then got up and lookedover the fence at another house. His curiositysatisfied, he walked out the front gate. As faras the woman is aware the prowler did not eventry the back door.

Obviating Glaring Headlights.The useful service being rendered in the

interests of "safety first" by the Auckland Auto-mobile Association was the subject of gratefulacknowledgment by many car owners who col-lected last evening at the headlights testingstation at Northcote. Three patrols were onduty, and the headlights of 35 motor cars fromDevonport, Birkenhead, and other North Shoredistricts were adjusted to eliminate objectionableglare, and so conform to the regulations. Thepatrols will again be in attendance at Northcotefor the same purpose this evening from 7 to 9o'clock. Next week the sign-posting officer willthoroughly sign-post the main highway toAlbany. Clay road signs will also be placed inOcean View Road at Northcote.

Electric Power Fails.Many business people had to walk home when

they had finished for the day yesterday onaccount of a partial breakdown in the King'swharf power station. It was necessary to rationthe power available for tram and other services,with the result that the various tram serviceswere to some extent disorganised. The faultwas located in the pumps of the old part of thestation, which failed to lift the necessary circu-lating owing to an exceptionally low tide.Of the car routes Mount Albert, Sandringham,Dominion Road and Edendale were most seriouslyaffected, for they draw their power from theKingsland sub-station and it was considered thatthat station could be deprived of supply with lesseffect on the whole system than any other. Owingto the intermittent running of the cars, therewas an accumulation at the termini, and theyhad to get back to the city in the best way pos-sible. It was impossible to keep to any time-table. Things were in normal running orderabout 6.40 p.m.

Bound for Home.The somewhat unusual coincidence of two

large ocean-going vessels leaving port on tlie sametide and within a few minutes of each otherwas seen in Auckland last evening, when theCorinthic (Shaw, Savill and Albion line), andthe Argyllshire (KZ. Shipping Co.), weighedanchor and left for England within a quarterof an hour of one another. There is no questionof a race 'between the two ships, for the Corinthicis hound for Southampton, to land pas-sengers and mails, while the Argyllshirewill sail direct to London to discharge the firstof her cargo. The shades of night were falling,and lights were beginning to twinkle along theshores of the harbour when the Corinthic backedout from the eastern side of Queen's wharf andswung out into the stream to face the incomingtide. Five minutes later she was in position for"half-speed ahead," and at 5.20 p.m. she wassignalled outward bound from the King's wharfsignal station. By this time the Argyllshire hadcast off from the western side of "Queen's"—(by another coincidence both ships had beenmoored at the same wharf) —and she, too, backedout to obtain the necessary hearing for the down-harbour journey. She was timed passing thesignal station at 5,35, by which time the Corinthicwas out of sight beyond North Head.A Briny Corner.

There are still a few picturesque spots roundabout Auckland's waterfront, and not the leastattractive for those who like the "sea air andtarry rope" atmosphere that hangs: round thehaunts of sailors is the Nelson Street wharf.The jetty and Winstone's breastwork oppositethe City Markets form a small basin used by theboats and launches of the seine fishermen, andthere is usually a collection of yachts andlau'nches tied up. Brown and black nets are hungout to dry on pole frames on the wharf, miles ofthe rope used in seining lie about-in prodigiouscoils, and occasionally if you are lucky you cansee an elderly fisherman in a jersey mending thebroken nets, in exactly the same way as thefishermen did no one knows how many centuriesago. And, oddly enough, the knot used in 'nettingis practically the same all over the world, whe-ther made by civilised man or the savage. Atone end of the wharf two ketches are unloadingtea-tree firewood,'which sheds its,long bark andmakes a pleasing litter on the little hookers andon the jetty. From Winstone's breastwork thebig green-painted scow Ngahau, her shingle un-loaded, is possibly wearing round Minder herauxiliary power. Space is restricted in the littlebasin, and her bowsprit just' clears the jetty asshe swings round. Most sight of allis the departure of the scow Waiti, one of thelast of them. Her cargo of timber has been dis-charged at the mills, and she is off for another.Under mainsails and headsails she. moves quietlyoft' before the south-west breeze, negotiates theentrance left in the new viaduct that is quitetransforming that part of the harbour, and thengybes as she heads down harbour. Standing onNclso'n Street wharf, one can still get a fleetingglimpse or so of the days when there were sailsand sailors.

WORLD AFFAIRS.A WEEKLY REVIEW.

(By BYSTANDER.)

The event of the week in the world of inter-national politics has certainly been the publica-tion of the report of the Mandates Commissionon the disturbances that occurred last year inPalestine. It may be remembered that the BritishGovernment set up a special commission to inquireinto these matters last year, and its report, gener-ally speaking, attributed the whole trouble to thenot unnatural resentment of the Arab popula-tion at the influx of intelligent industrious andsuccessful aliens, who are likely to prove for-midable in every sphere of economic and nationallife. The Jewish Agency, which under the Man-date has an official right to present the case foethe Jews, issued a memorandum criticising theShaw Commission's report at great length. Itseems to me very largely successful in its attemptto show that the trouble was religious ratherthan racial or political, and that the Britishadministrators had been too little regardful ofevil omens, and had taken wholly inadequate pre-cautions against possible danger. Moreover, thememorandum makes out a very , strong case infavour of the colonisation and cultivation ofPalestine by the Jews, who are willing and ableto exploit its natural resources to an extententirely beyond the powers of the nomadic Arabs.

Danger in the East.

This memorandum was submitted by theJewish Agency to the Mandates Commission, andit evidently produced a considerable impression.It seems to me quite indisputable thatthe British administration was too anxious toconciliate the Arabs and that its consequentneglect of necessary precautions rendered possiblethe deplorable events of last year. However, theBritish note to the Mandates Commission, thoughit is, in a sense, a statement of "the case .forthe defendant," supplies satisfactory proof thatBritain is still bent on carrying out the Balfourpolicy in the spirit in which it was originallyframed. But there is still the danger that theadministrators may be inclined to go too far inthe way of placating the Arabs, and this is ren-dered probable by recent news from India bearingdirectly upon the trouble in Palestine. In Aprillast a Pan-Hindu Moslem conference was held atBombay, and resolutions were passed declaringthat "the Holy Land of Palestine is under theguard not only of the Moslems of Palestine butof the whole Moslem world" and that Moslemscannot permit the country to become a place ofsettlement for the Jews "to the exclusion anddetriment of former inhabitants." The confer-ence, therefore, demanded "the abrogation of theBalfour declaration and of the British Mandate."

Justice and Mercy. jAs a proof that the British authorities have

been influenced by Arab and Moslem protestsagainst the influx of the Jews into Palestine, itshould be noted that, though the High Commis-sioner had approved the immigration of 3300 Jewsfor the half year ending September 30, theBritish Government suspended the admission of2400, pending the report of the Special.Commissionnow in Palestine. The Jews felt this acutely,regarding it as a sign that Britain meant toabandon the Balfour policy entirely, and oh May22 the whole Jewish population of Palestineengaged in "a peaceful general strike." However,the British Government assured the Jewish Agencythat this restriction would be only temporary.Though the Jews are bitterly disappointed atthe negative attitude of the administration, theyare anxious to prove their sincere desire foramicable relations with the Arabs, and several oftheir organisations have petitioned the PalestineGovernment to reprieve all Arabs convicted ofmurdering Jews during the riots of August last.As a result, 18 out of 21 convicted murderershave been released from the death penalty. Butit is a curious fact that this reprieve followed onthe request of the Bombay Moslem Conferencefor the release of all Moslem Arabs under sen-tence in connection with the August riots. Con-sidering all the trouble that arose in India throughthe Kliilafat agitation over the threatened expul-sion of the Turk from Constantinople, it is quitepossible that the British Government may havetaken very serious notice of the Bombay Con-ference, and its attitude toward the Moslems ofPalestine may be influenced accordingly.

The Hapless Aboriginal.The native population of Australia has recently

been reported upon by the Federal Minister forHome Affairs, and it is stated that steps arenow to he taken to improve the position of theaborigines and protect them moreagainst the perils which beset them on every side.It is certainly high time. Anyone who wants toknow precisely how the Australian aborigineshave been treated in the past by the settlersshould read the report of the Royal Commissioner,Dr. Roth, appointed in 1904 by the Government ofWest Australia to inquire into the condition ofthe natives in that State. Dr. Roth's generaldescription of the manner in which they weredealt with by the whites as "brutal and'.out-rageous" is expressive enough; but the picture isincomplete without a whole series of horrible andrevolting details. In a recently published book—M. Bennett's "The Australian Aboriginal as aHuman Being"—an attempt is made to arousepublic sympathy

4for the aborigines. The author

quotes with approval from the CommonwealthYear Book (1909) Dr. Ramsay Smith's descriptionof the'natives—"the most interesting at presenton earth, the least deserving to be exterminated,the most wronged at our hands/' and appeals formercy to these hapless derelicts, once the ownersof a continent, now landless, outlawed, andexisting jn a state closely analogous to slavery.Bennett's book, like all tlie authentic records, isfull of awful stories of indiscriminate slaughterand horrible suffering inflicted upon these helplesscreatures, even at the hands of police officers,humorously styled "protectors of the aborigines."It is too late.to undo the past, but it may stillbe possible to save the remnants that survive.

The "Bad Boy" of Lithuania.For some years past, up to quite recently,

M. Valdemaras, then Prime Minister of Lithuania,was head and front of the Lithuanian oppositionto Poland. When the frontiers of Poland andLithuania were settled, after the Peace ofVersailles was signed, the Conference of Ambas-sadors to whom this duty, was deputed,gavePoland certain commercial and territorial rightsin the province of Vilna. The Lithuanians holdthat this is wholly their country, and refuse toadmit that the Poles can have any rights there.'The League of Nations in vain endeavoured toeffect a compromise; but with Pilsudski, the PolishDictator, on one side of the border and Valdemarason the other, the quarrel dragged along inter-minably. On Nationalist grounds the Conferenceof Ambassadors was probably mistaken, but thePoles were certainly within their legal rights inholding their ground. At last the Lithuaniansthemselves grew tired of the endless controversy,and, having received certain guarantees from the'League, they were prepared to drop active opposi-tion. But Valdemaras was quite implacable. Hispeople deposed him from his post as PrimeMinister, martial law was declared, and the newPremier has ordered, that Valdemaras be kentisolated in a small country house under a constantguard. ■ So for tlie time the "Enfant Terrible" ofthe League of Nations disappears from the scene,with much advantage to the prospects ofEuropean peace.

THE PASSING SHOW.

(By THE MAN ABOUT TOWN.)

Dear M.A.T.,—'I am a real he-man and &

champion at playing marbles and croquet but

NOT FAIR. game it must be! I have

just read an account of

the Auckland - Wellington game and was very

puzzled why Nicholls should be allowed toplay. Apparently they only play him for the

purpose of winning matches. Surely that is

■against the true ethics of sport, because in

croquet we often deliberately let our oppon-ents win. If we don't they may not playao-ain. Take the forty thousand people who

saw the Test at Eden Park How manywanted 2sTew Zealand to win? Not one-quarterper cent. Who wanted to see the game spoiltby Mark's tactics? In South Africa they real-ised that Nicholls was no good and onlyplayed him in the last Test because theywanted to win. Again I ask, was it sportingto play him? Last year he played for Wel-lington against Auckland at Eden Park, and

in that match he was too slow to be any goodand only useful as a match winner. SurelyWellington should have dropped him this yearand then the game would have been a brilliantone with dashing Wellington inside backs andan Auckland victory. The game is not fair.—Puzzled.

Youmay go to Heidelberg and the Nectar Valley,the Khenish Palatinate, Baden and elsewherefor a few shillings paid on the spot, and ofcourse the collector will call for t-he monthlypayment. The idea of holiday funds is, ofcourse, not new. In. England tens of thou-sands of factory operatives and other workershave holiday clubs into-which payments aremade and which earn interest. The favouredtowns in which factory holidays are held knowthe holiday makers have come by the unac-customed roar, for factory people alwayschoose the quietest places; in which to roar.In the.

"Resolution of Coterie of LabourIrresponsibles."

NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

(United P.A.—Mectrio Telegraph—Copyright)

(Received 10.80 a.m.)SYDNEY, this day.

*If the Labour movement through-out Australia endorses the war debtscancellation ultimatum of the NewSouth Wales militants a breach be-tween the Labour party and itsFederal leader, Mr. J. H. Scullin, isinevitable," says the "Sydney Sun."

"Mr. Scullin's last recorded speechbefore he sailed for London containedthe following statement: 'Repudiationwould be calamitous to the whole struc-ture of the present system and wouldthrow nearly 1,000,000 people out ofwork. Such a, suggestion could not betolerated.'"

The Acting-Prime Minister, Mr. J. E.Fenton, stated: "We have no intentionof repudiating the agreement reached atthe Melbourne confei'ence of Premiers.My Government has concurred in theresolutions passed by that conferenceand we shall, at all costs, stand by theagreement."

Mr. Fenton went on to say that therepudiation resolutions could not betaken seriously. They had emanatedfrom a coterie of irresponsibles. How-ever, he deprecated the actions of news-paper correspondents in cabling them toLondon, which would seriously prejudiceAustralia's credit abroad.

The "Sydney Morning Herald" saysthat the Lang faction in the AustralianLabour party fears that the talk ofrepudiation of the war debts and of thefinancial agreement may adversely affectthe party's prospects at the State elec-tion. Its efforts to secure the rejectionof the Labour Committee's demandthreaten to £ause a split in the StateLabour movement.

London Comment.!A London message states that the

resolutions of the New South WalesLabour Conference in favour of the re-pudiation of war debts and demandinga moratorium on interest payments onoverseas loans had the unfortunateeffect of causing a well-balanced morn-ing newspaper like the "Daily Tele-graph" to feature the message underdouble-column headings. Below thepaper gives the terms of the resolutions,which is calculated to give unwarrantedimportance to the matter.

The "Daily Telegraph," commentingeditorially on the resolution in repudia-tion of war debts, declared that if Mr.Sc/ullin's majority in the House of Repre-eentatives renounce his leadership, agrave political crisis might arise,, andas far as the demand for repudiation isconcerned this is too shameful to betaken more seriously than an emotionalsymptom. The violence of reaction toproposals involving a sacrifice, however,cannot be regarded without anxiety bydebenture holders.

An authority on Australian financeBays the prestige of Australia's obliga-tions has been "markedly enhanced by theresolutions passed at the Premiers' Con-ference last week. The result of this,together with the credits pooling scheme,must be a revival of confidence in theAustralian situation. Generally this isalready manifest in the marked improve-ment in the prices of Australian stocks.

MOTION BY "HOTHEADS."(Received 1 p.m.)

LONDON, August 27.The Australian Press Association

cablegram recording the "Daily Tele-graph's" featuring of the repudiation otthe war debts' resolution'brought a seriesof lengthy replies from Australia. The"Daily Telegraph's" own correspondentin the course of a dispatch emphasisesthat the resolution was confined to theNew South Wales Labour Council atwhich the A.W.U. and the Miners' Fed-eration were not represented. The DailyTelegraph" to-day displays this messageunder headings: "Australians and theFinancial Crisis," "New South . WalesLabour Move Denounced," "Only Ex-tremists Behind It," "Cabinet's PolicyUnshaken."

The message, adds that the "DailyTelegraph's" serious viewpoint is likelyto have a sobering effect cn the Labourhotheads and will encourage the moder-ates to rally to the support of theFederal Government.

HARSH RETRENCHMENT.(Received 10.30 a.m.)

PERTH, this day.Sir James Mitchell, Premier of West

Australia, explained to Parliament howthe conclusions reached at the rPremiers' Conference affected the State

finances. One of these was that nomoney could be expended until it had.been received. This would entail severesacrifices.

A message from Adelaide states thatthe Premier of South Australia, Mi. I.L. Hill, informed Parliament of the

grounds of his appeal for Commonwealthassistance. An important item was

that the State must he reimbursed for

the loss incurred owing to the Federalpolicy.

"We are faced with a deficit of

£2,789,000 this year," he said. By a

policy of retrenchment and economy of

the harshest character, from which noteven hospitals will be exempt, and which•would swell the menacing ranks or the

unemployed to such a degree aschallenge the preservation of law an

"A CRIME."PLIGHT OF, CAPITAL.

Serious Exodus from GermanyTo Foreign Countries.

ECONOMIC CRISIS NEAR.

(United P.A.—Electrie Telegraph—Copyright)

(Received 9.30 a.m.)LONDON, August 27.

The "News-Chronicle's" Berlin cor-respondent says that the flight ofcapital from Germany is causing theGovernment great anxiety. It isestimated that £41,000,000 has leftthe country since January, the bulkof which has gone to Switzerland.

More recently the trend has been toHolland. In addition to the big capi-talists, small people are sending theirpaltry savings abroad, despite a higherrate of interest and freedom from incometax obtainable if banked in Germany.

Dr. Reinholtf, formerly Finance Minis-ter, brands the flight as a crime. Therehas Hot been such an exodus of capitalsince the inflation period immediatelyafter the war.

The economic crisis is rapidly becom-ing worse. Slumps are accruing in in-dustry after industry, and "workers arebeing dismissed. Even the MunicipalTraffic Company dismissed 1600 of itsstaff after rejecting the alternative ofholiday shifts. Several potteries andsteel works are closing down owing to'bad trade.

Meantime a big dispute is brewing inthe Ruhr mining district. Employers aredemanding 10 per cent reduction inwages, which the unions are seeking toincrease by sixpence. The shift nego-tiations have broken down.

The start of play was delayed owingto the train in which the visitors weretravelling being late. Teams

The A*t tralians won the toss and bat-ted first, Woodfull and Ponsford scored39 runs in steady fashion, when the cap-tain started too slow lor a short singleand was thrown out. Without additionFreeman, who lias been remarkably suc-cessful this season, claimed Ponsford,Ashdown taking a wonderful catch atsquare-leg. Bradman gavea poor exhibition, and both were outbefore lunch.

Inspection of the wicket revealed aslope, resulting in Freeman making theball come in sharply from leg. Richard-son hit brightly, but Fairfax was out toa full toss, and the total was 98 runs forfive.

A full ground of spectators saw thedebacle continue. Richardson drovepowerfully, htting seven fours in 65minutes. An amazing catch by Chap-man at third slip sent back Grimmett,who stopped to congratulate Chapman.Hurwood, who batted with skill and con-fidence, severely punished Freeman, whowas taken off. Hurwood batted for 55minutes, and hit seven fours.

The Australians now have been dis-missed twice in succession for under 200runs.

BRADMAN'S POSITION.

MR. KELLY'S OPINION.

(Received 12 noon.)LONDON, August 27.

Bradman laughed. when told to-nightof the rumour circulating that he will be"carpeted" on his return to Australia.

"Nobody can be put on the mat untilhe gets home, and I can only be put thereif Mr. Kelly recommends it. I haveheard nothing about it."'Mr. W. L. Kelly .informed the Aus-

tralian Press that he could not well passover Bradman's apparent defiance of theBoard of Control.

His team mates will say nothing, butit is believed they naturally feel thatBradman's great success has enabledhim to act in a manner which theothers do not dare. Bradman is a keenbusiness man, and has been careful sofar not to write about recent matches.It is thus possible that a less seriousview will be taken of his actions. How-ever, it is difficult to recoLcile Brad-man's cinema appearances and journalis-tic activities with the formidable con-tract the players signed. It is antici-pated the 1934 team will be bound byan even more severe undertaking.

Sweeping Price Cuts CauseAmerica Concern.

DOMINION NEEDS CATERED FOR

(United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright)

(Received 12 noon.)LONDON, August 27,

Consistent reports state that theBritish motor industry is about tobegin the most determined bid forthe world's markets that it has yetundertaken. It is reported that onebig factory will concentrate on a six-cylinder chassis meeting all Dominionrequirements.

Last year medium-powered Britishcars for the first time in motoring his-tory compared favourably in price withtheir formidable competitors. This yearBritish cars will be definitely at a lowerprice.

An instance of this is the announce-ment that one six-cylinder car costing£425 two years ago, and £375 last year,costs £285 to-day. This coincides withother big reductions.

The "Daily Sxpress" records that theannouncement has created profound in-terest in the United States motor indus-try. American agents in England havebeen warned to cable all details forth-with. Every indication points to thecoming Motor Show as the most import-ant ever held.

FRENCH FEARS.GERMANY SUSPECT.

Underlying Motives of TreatyRevision Demand.

FORCE ALONE CAN ALTER MAP,

(United P.A.—Blcctrlc'Telegrapii—Copyright)

PARIS, August 27.In French election speeches refer-

ences to foreign policy are notablyquieter in tone, but this is notreflected in the Paris Press.

"Le Petit Journal," one of the mostmoderate of the newspapers, warns, theFrench people that the German demandfor a reshaping of the map of Europeto Germany's advantage cannot beachieved except by force.

It continues: "Those who desire arevision of the Treaty of Versaillesdesire war, but Germany at present isnot ready to force a demand for arevision. It may be 10 or 12 yearsbefore the clash becomes imminent."

It is significant that Dr. Curtius, Ger-man Foreign Minister, in his initialspeech championed the late Herr Strese-mann's policy of an international under-standing. Even Herr Treviranus, whorecently declared that a revision of theeastern frontier was urgent, lias now"climbed down,"-admitting that the sub-ject could not at present be raised.

Several Paris newspapers welcome thefact that some of the leading Germanpublicists have come into the open withdemands for treaty revision as beingcalculated to convince waverers of thereal underlying motives of Germanpolicy.

LAUNCH DAMAGED.

NICLOA'S CHEQUERED CAREER.

There was another chapter In thelaunch Nicloa's chequered career lastnight when the little vessel broke awayfrom her moorings at Devonport, driftedacross the harbour, and piled up on thebreastwork opposite the dolphin, mJudge's Bay

This morning at high water the launchwas practically submerged, and evidentlyconsiderably damaged. A few weeksago the Nicloa was reported missingwhen on a trip from the Thames toAuckland and a week ago she sank at hermoorings at Devonport.

Last night it was reported that theNicloa had broken away and search wasmade by one of the Auckland HarbourBoard launches, as well as by Messrs.K. and A. McCollum, of Thames,who hadhired the Nicloa. They set out in adinghy, but were forced by a heavy seato return. The first definite informationwas obtained this morning, when 'theNicloa was found ashore on the otherside of the harbour.

Detailed investigation could not bemade of the launch until low water.Apparently she is holed forward. Thebows were submerged and bumping onthe rocks, with the stern afloat, awashand pounded by heavy seas. The waterin the vicinity was strewn with wreck-age-

LAWYERS' INDEMNITY FUND.

BRITAIN FOLLOWING N.2..EXAMPLE.

PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC.

(By Telegrapli.—Special to "Star.".)WELLINGTON, this day.

Gratification is expressed in legalcircles at the fact that the British Baris considering tollowing New Zealand'sexample and establishing an indemnityfund for the purpose of protecting thegeneral public against fraud by any dis-honest members of tlie profession. Onceagain, it is pointed out, the Dominionhas led the way.

The Law Practitioners' GuaranteeFund, all contributions for which havenow been received by the New ZealandLaw Society, is only twelve months old,and it is admitted that it has yet toestablish itself. However, if the nextvear passes without a case of baddefault there will be a substantial fundfor the future insurance of the publicat large.

The New Zealand Law Society made aprevious effort to get the necessary billthrough the House of Representatives,but members were somewhat suspiciousand the matter was shelved. Last year,however, Sir Thomas Sidey took up thebill and it passed into law.

Much interest was aroused in thelegislation and the New Zealand LawSociety had inquiries from all over theworld. Australia and Britain were par-ticularly interested. Now, word hasbeen received that a special meeting ofthe English Law Society has authorisedits council to obtain the introduction ofa bill on the lines of the New Zealandprinciple.

MEDICAL SERVICE.B.M.A. CONFERENCE.System of Health Insurance

(United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright)

WINNIPEG, August 27.The British Medical Association's

Conference was opened yesterday atWinnipeg, there being 2000 medicalmen present, jjhe opening ceremoniesincluded Professor Harvey Smith'spresidential address and an impres-sive religious service.

The president laid stress upon thefact that the economic organisation ofmedicine had not kept pace with itsscientific progress. He said 30 per centof patients were treated free by physi-cians.

The professor advocated a system ofhealth insurance as the only method bywhich a competent medical service mightbe placed within the reach of all on asatisfactory basis.

Sir James Barrett, of Melbourne, in aninterview, said the organisation of theWinnipeg Community Hospital was ofgreat interest to Australia. The pro-blem of open or closed hospitals, theirsize and the adequate representation ofmedical staffs on boards' of managementhad been discussed informally by theAustralian medical men with their col-leagues here.

Sir James has been requested tolecture in various Canadian cities onbush nursing.

DIVORCE DIFFICULTY.

AMERICAN SAILORS' WIVES.

HUSBANDS WHO SAILED AWAY

. DISCUSSION IN PARLIAMENT.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

WELLINGTON, this day.

The Divorce and Matrimonial CausesAmendment Bill, introduced in the}House of Representatives to-day by Mr.

H. G. R. Mason (Auckland Suburbs),has an important clause affecting womenwho married American sailors while the.American fleet was in New Zealand.

Mr. Mason gave instances of New Zea-land girls who had married Americansailors. The sailors had sailed away,and that had been the end of it. Thoseairls, as the result of their ntarriage tocitizens of the United 'States, could notget a divorce in . a New Zealand court,in which they had no status, because oftheir changed nationality. ■ It was de-sired that such a change of nationalityshould not.be forced upon marriedwomen.

Mental Hospital C^ses.Another point covered by the bill

dealt with divorce following separation.Under the present law it was possibleto proceed on separation by agreementin New Zealand or by an order of theCourt in New Zealand, but while it waspossible to act on an agreement forseparation mad© outside New Zealand,it was not possible to act on an orderof a Court outside New Zealand. Thebill sought to remedy this anomaly. Itwould also reduce the period fromto four years for which it was neces-sary that one party must be confinedin a mental hospital before a divorcecould be granted.

The Hon. J. G. Cobbe stated that ad-vice placed at the disposal of the Gov-ernment indicated it was necessary thatthe 'bill should' be considerably amendedbefore it would be passed. It waspointed out if a girl married in NewZealand were granted a divorce her hus-band, if a resident, say, of England,would be guilty of bigamy if he marriedagain in England, where the divorcewould not be recognised. At the sametime, if the wife were granted a divorcein New Zealand and she went to a coun-try to which her husband belonged, andremarried there, she too would be guiltyof bigamy.

Mr. W. D. Lysnar (Gisborne) said thequestion seemed to be one' for the Im-perial Conference. He was opposed tothe clause relating to the confinementin mental hospitals. The period shouldnot be cut down. There were possiblyeases in which a wife was responsiblefor her husband's confinement in amental hospital, or vice versa, and insuch instances divorce should not bemade easy. •

"Go to America."Mr. W. E. Parry (Auckland Central),

urged that the State should endeavourto get the young women mentioned byMr. Mason out of their difficulty. .

Mr. R. A: Wright (WellingtonSuburbs) submitted that the only effec-tive method would be for the girls togo to America for a divorce. If theywished to marry again, they wouldsurely want a divorce that would berecognised everywhere.

Mr. Mason, in reply, said the girlsconcerned -were likely to live the re-mainder of their lives in New Zealand.The difficulty under which they werenow living was a present one, and itwas more important they should befreed from it than from some very re-mote possibility. The same complica-tions as Mr. Cobbe had outlined existedin the cases of certain divorces alreadygranted under the Act.

The bill was set down for committalnext sitting day.

BIG FAILURE.SALESMAN'S DEFICIENCY.

OVER £15,000 OWING.

X.OSSES IN SLUMP OP 192*

DISCHARGE TO HE FAGELERM'BD.

"It seems clear that he should hav®

filed his petition long before this," re-

marked the Official Assignee, Mr. A. W.Waiters, to-day, at the first meeting of

the creditors of Otto Jamen Wilson,

salesman, of Grafton Road, Auckland.Sympathy with bankrupt wa» expressedby the representatives of two of theprincipal creditors, and-it was agreed, bya unanimous vote, to facilitate hisdischarge.

Wilson's financial statement showedclaims of unsecured creditors amountingto £16,064, with those of secured credi-tors at £802, the value of securities beingreturned as £1027. Total debts were£15,840. Assets were returned at £700,and the deficiency was £15,140.

Debtor stated that for five years priorto 1923 he was a partner in a motorbusiness at Wellington, called W.Stewart Wilson and Co. This businessgave promise of substantial profits, en-couraging him to expand his interests.This expansion took shape in an agree-ment which he entered into about June,1920, to purchase two-thirds of the sharecapital in a motor company calledA.B.C. Motors (N.Z.), Ltd. Unfortu-nately, after operating successfully forseveral years, the concern suffered re-verses through the fall in values ofcars and tyres, and voluntary liquida-tion -followed. The liquidation of W.Stewart Wilson and Co. caused him apersonal loss of £4000, and his interestin A.B.C. Motors, Ltd., involved him ina heavy personal responsibility.

After detailinga series of share trans-actions in which he had been involved,bankrupt said since leaving A.B.C.Motors he had acted as a salesman forvarious financial organisations. Up to apoint he had been successful, but, afterallowances for expenses and disburse-ments, he had not been able to makeheadway. Practically the whole of hisdebts were directly attributable tomotor investments, and in a great mea-sure related back to the losses incurredin the slump of 1921 and the recoveryduring subsequent years.

Answering the Official Assignee, bank-rupt said his earnings during the pastseven months had not been sufficient topay his current expenses or his livingexpenses. He had been badly handi-capped by his outstanding liabilities.

Mr. L. Stevens, who appeared for Wil-son, said the position was that debtor'sfuture earnings were contingent uponhis release from bankruptcy.

One of the principal creditors said ata meeting held twelve ago debtorhad been advised to file.

The case was left in the assignee'shands, provisional arrangements beingmade for the realisation of the assets.

LOCAL BODY LOANS.

KEEN SCRUTINY WISE.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

VIEWS.

RATING BURDEN DOUBLED,

Approval of the action of the LocalGovernment Loans Board in refusing toendorse uneconomic loan proposalsplaced before it was expressed by mem-bers of the council of the AucklandChamber of Commerce, which met to-day. A resolution embodying the viewsof the chamber is to be sent to a confer-ence of the Associated Chambers of Com-merce to be held in October.

Perceiving the local bodies' indebted-ness in New Zealand had increased dur-ing the ten years ended March 31, 1929,from £22,500,000 to £62,000,000, the con-ference urges the board to redouble itsvigilance in the scrutiny of loan pro-posals coming before it.

In support of this it was pointed outthe local body taxation had increasedfront 3.1 to 6.3 million pounds, which,because of the fall in prices, representedmore than a doubling of the real burdenof local bodv taxation.

Mr. M. Stewart, president of the cham-ber, said this was in line with theopinion of the Chamber of Commerce.The remit was approved.

Mr. A. G. LUNN'S PLAINT

"Yes! but the trouble is that theyhave not begun with the heads of De-

The Chamber' of Commerce had pre-viously stated' that in its opinionthe staff in the various ; GovernmentalDepartments might be considered witha view to reduction. /

The letter from the Hon. G. W. Forbeswas as follows: —"I. have now receivedadvice from the Public Service Com-missioner, to whom I referred a copyof the resolution referred, .to, to ' theeffect' that throughout tile past yearthere has been a definite curtailment ofnew appointments to the Public Service.In regard to all requisitions in connec-tion with the filling of vacancies thatarise from time to time, the possibilityof reorganising the work to avoid thenecessity of filling the vacancy lias ineach case been considered."

RAISING LOANS.

REVISION OF LEGISLATION.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCEPROPOSAL,

TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT,

"This is an important matter. Anysmall number of ratepayers can at pre-sent raise loans," stated Mr. M. Stewart,president of the Auckland Chambet ofCommerce, at a meeting of the councilof the chamber to-day, referring to a

remit which is to be sent to the confer-ence of the Associated Chambers ofCommerce to be held, in Octobcr.

The resolution read:'"That this con-ference, noting that many polls are car-ried as the result of a few interestedratepayers voting, the remainder beingapathetic and therefore not taking partin the polls, and realising the danger ofthis system under which polls are car-ried that are not really .in the ' truelocal interest at all, urges that legisla-tion be introduced that 110 loan pro-posal .shall be, carried; -unless 25 >er.cent of.the ratepayers .vote at the poll."'

Jri the recent Avondale tramway ex-tension poll, Mr. Stewart said, not more"than 10. per cent of the ratepayersvoted,'and on that majority the pollwas'carried. .. He asked ,Mr. T. B. Claywhether' h'e/'cohsidered ; that '25 per; cent;of the ratepayers was too much'to'ex-,pect. ',' V

"I consider that 25 per cent is mode-rate, and by no means out of the way,"replied Mr. Clay. "Further, it is absurdthat such a small number of peopleshould have authority to spend suchlarge amounts of money, especially at atime of such economic stress." :

DRAINAGE SCHEME.

ENGINEER'S FULL REPORT.

OFFICIAL TOUR ABROAD,

POSITION OF ELLERSLIE.

At last night's meeting of the Auck-land and Suburban Drainage Board the

Medical Officer of Health inquired whenfurther consideration would be given tothe possibility of the Ellerslie towndistrict being incorporated in the drain-age district.

The engineer-sccretary (Mr. H. H.Watkins) stated that the Ellerslie areawas being considered in the comprehen-sive report which he was preparing inconnection with his recent official tourabroad. Marua Road area had, however,been connected with the DrainageBoard's sewer system by a reticulationsewer system.

A request was received from an adver-tising firm for permission to use the'sides of the Hobson Bay sewer. On themotion of the acting-chairman, Mr. A.J. Entrican, the application was refused.

Mr. Watkins reported that the reportwhich he was preparing on the com-prehensive scheme of sewerage andstorm'water drainage for the whole ofthe metropolitan area would be • readyfor presentation to the board at aspecial meeting to be held within thenext two months. The area includedportions which were not included in theboard's district and this fact "had beenresponsible for a great deal of time incompiling extra technical data and ex-planatory drawings.

The engineer-secretary reported thatspecial agreements with certain contri-butory bodies had been entered into forthe construction of works, the cost ofwhich were to be borne by the localbodies concerned. This had been com-mented upon by the Auditor-Generalwhen he certified to the balance-sheet.It was explained by Mr. Watkins that

all the works referred to were deemedhecessary and desirable, to enable thecontributing authorities to connectdrainage of the respective portionsof their districts to the board'ssewer system. He had communicatedwith the Attorney-General on the mat-ter, who, in reply, had advised that theAudit Office would take no furtheraction regarding past agreements; butif the board intended in future to enterinto agreements of a similar naturesteps should be taken during the pre-sent session of Parliament to obtainnecessary authorising legislation.

The board has agreed to construct aculvert in Newton Central schoolgroundon the understanding that the Educa-tion Department, the City Council andthe Drainage Board each contribute one-third of the cost.

According to the annual report of thePolice Department, fines totalling £5054were imposed last year as the result ofprosecutions in connection with hook-making. There were 172 prosecutionsand 147 convictions.

BABY COCKATIELS.

IN AUCKLAND AVIARY.

BRED IN CAPTIVITY.

AN UNCOMMON EVENT.

An event in an Auckland . aviarycaused quite as much stir in the bird-fanciers' world as the recent happeningat Glamis did among loyal British sub-jects. Mr. A. E. Henley, of VictoriaStreet, an enthusiastic member, of theNew Zealand Avicultural Society, hasjust succeeded in inducing a pair of

cockatiels to breed in captivity. It is

the first time such an event has hap-

pened in Auckland, and though Mr. Hen-ley has been a bird fancier all his life

this is the first occasion on which he has

managed to induce these birds to lear

a family.The cockatiel is an Australian bird,

about 12in long, of which the tail ac-counts for sin, and the predominantcolour is slaty grey. The cock has abright primrose-yellow face and crest,and a patch of red on each side, cover-ing the ears. Popular among bird fan-ciers, the cockatiel is now found inaviaries all over the world. Althoughthey breed freely in the Old Countiy,the instances of" breeding in New Zea-land are very rare. Mr. J. Walker, an

authority on birds, savs he believes aman in Wanganui succeeded in gettingsome hatched out.

The galali, the well-known pink andgrey bird, another member of the cocka-too family, breeds freely, and the gaudyrosella, which is also an Australian, is

prolific; in fact, it lias become quitecommon on the Waitakere Hills, whereit was liberated some years back. Mr.Walker says he has never known of acase where the large white cockatoo hasbred in captivity. Owing to the habitsof the, bird, it would require a verylarge aviary, but if it were possible tohave such a structure he sees no reasonwhy the birds should not bre6d.

With the cockatiel, the cock sits onthe eggs by day aud the hen by nignt.Sometimes the cock shirks his part ofthe job, and the clutch is spoiled. Oddlyenough, the hen knows when, there isno life,'in the eggs, owing to the dere-liction of her lazy spouse, and shebothers no more with that lot; shesimply starts alj over again. The waythe young are fed is interesting. Theparent takes the little beak inside itsown (after the manner of pigeons), andwith a pumping motion of the head theold bird brings the partly digested foodfrom its crop into its beak, and, theyoung bird helps itself.

The young cockatiels- in the VictoriaStreet aviary are far from lovely. Theyremind one of the drawings of prehis-toric birds that seem undecided wiietherthey will turn out real birds, or some-thing in the dragon line. The claws aretoo big for the rest of the body, andthe beak is very pronounced. There werefive eggs in the setting, and only twohatched out. It is said that the humanbody in its embryo stages goesthrough the various forms of evolutionthrough which man has passed, so thereis . presumably no reason why the birdshould not do so, only in a more acuteform, and it may be that the youngcockatiels actually show some of thecharacteristics of ancestors that lived afew 1 million years ago.

It may be mentioned that the arrivalof the young cockatiels is regarded bythe Avicultural Society as sufficientlyimportant to justify them in issuing acertificate to the lucky breeder.

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

D'UNEDIN, Wednesday.' Reply has been made by the chairmanof the Otago Hospital Board, Mr. W. E.S. Knight, to Mr. R. Campbell Begg, thewell-known Wellington surgeon, who onhis return from a visit to the Continentand America and after attending a medi-cal congress in Madrid, stated that theNew Zealand public hospitals, largelyon account of the method of control, nowalmost universally abandoned elsewhere,compared unfavourably with hospitalsabroad.

"We have heard on numerous occasionsof capable management in the UnitedStates," said Mr. Knight, "but I amsure that there are just as manyanomalies and perhaps just as much mis-management as Mr. Begg alleges thereis in New Zealand. I cannot see howMr. Begg's recommendations for thenomination of a board of trustees wouldbe any improvement on the board alreadyelected. Would the nominees of. Bay,the City Council and the Prime Minister,be supermen or would it be a memberof the council itsplf. wlio would be electedto be a member ; of that board? I mustadmit that smaller boards would be moreworkable.

"The Otago Hospital Board consists of11 representatives only, which is reallyone of the smallest of 40 boards in theDominion. Social service committeesare at present in existence. The ques-tion of the admission of all patients tohospital has already been dealt with ata conference called by the Director-General of Health between the BritishMedical Association and the executiveof the hospital boards. This was pub-lished in the 'Journal of the HospitalBoards' Association of New Zealand,' ofApril, 1030. Possibly Mr. Begg is unawareof the position as the conference had evi-dently taken place during his absencefrom New Zealand."

Chronic and infectious disease, Mr.Knight said, were provided for sepa-rately. Infectious disease hospitals werealso separated from the general hospitaland the suggestion that they shouldcome under the care o;f the local healthofficer or a special board nominated forthem seemed at variance with the pre-vious suggestion that infectious diseasecases were deprived of the benefits ofthe visiting stafl'. Presumably honoraryphysicians _ and surgeons attending themain hospital would be relieved of at*

I tendance on infectious cases.n

eS^rding the last recommendation,Mr. Ivnight said the organisation ofmedical boards had long been providedfor, and was afc present in existence intiie Dunedin Hospital."

NATIONAL INCOME.

REDUCTION IN NEW ZEALAND.

FASTORAI/ INDUSTRY ANDFIXATION OF COSTS.

"TIME TO FACE FACTS."

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

WELLINGTON, Wednesday.Asking his hearers to recognise the

fact that a serious reduction in thenational income called for curtailment ofexpenditure and a lowering of the costsof production, Mr. H. D. Acland, presi-dent of the New Zealand Sheepowners'and Farmers' Federation, at the annualmeeting of the federation to-day, saidthe substantial fall in wool values, aswell as the drop in the prices of otherfarm products, had proved the economi-cal soundness of the federation'ssteadily maintained opposition to statu-tory fixation of co3ts of production.

"From the economic point of view,"said Mr. Acland, "our legislation withrespect to wages, working conditions andproductive costs of government (which isnot the least of our troubles), standsconvicted, and a searching examinationand analj'sis of our position under thealtered circumstances is imperative. We

have reached a time when we have toface facts as they arc, and not as wewould wish tlieni to be. Wc can onlypay wages and costs out of what we getfor the product of our labour. OurGovernment, equally with that of Aus-tralia, has, in framing its industrial andgeneral legislation, failed to recognisethat it is necessary to take the economicconsequences iiito account when fixingthe conditions under which the com-munity must live."

Discussing reTief'of unemployment, Mr.Acland said any attempt to employ thewhole of the adult population on fulltime at the present level of wages mustfail. The reduction in national incomeexperienced this year made such a courseimpossible without enroaching oilreserves of- capital or dependence on bor-rowed money.

Reduction of taxation, the first re-quirement for a return to safe and soundconditions, Mr. Acland added, could onlybe achieved by lowering the cost of pub-lic services. Without doubt,, the declaredpolicy of the federation that taxationshould be based on ability to pay wasfast gaining ground in the country. Theassertion that men must not be dis-charged from the public service becausethis meant increased unemploymentamounted to an argument that thefarmer must work for nothing and bea slave in order to maintain all bureau-cratic aristocracy m comfort.

Mr. H. D. Acland.

A DIFFICULT GRADE.

SCROGGY HELL AGAIN,

NO ACTION AT PRESENT,

(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)

WELLINGTON, Wednesday,The failure of a train to ascend

Scroggv Hill recently was explained inthe House to-day.

Replying to Mr. 11. G. I>. Mason(Auckland Suburbs), the Hon. W. A.Veitch, Minister of Railways, said hehad been informed the occurrence wasdue to the Westinghouse brake "creep-ing" on, thus causing the engine to stallon a sharp curve. He explained, how-ever, that the train was under itsschedule load and in ordinary circum-stances would have had 110 difficulty innegotiating the grade. There had beenother instances of trains stalling on thisgrade, but they had invariably hap-pened during showery weather, whichmade the rails very greasy. Thoseoccurrences were not peculiar to thegrade, such difficulties being inseparablefrom the operations of a railway sys-tem in a country having the configura-tion of the Dominion. The only way ofremoving the difficulty permanentlywould be by easing the grade of'theline, but it was not proposed to takean action in that direction at present,as that would involve a heavy outlaywithout commensurate return.

NEW "TOM-TIT" 'PLANES.

FOB OFFICERS' TRAINING

ARRIVAL THIS YEAR HOPED

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.!WELLINGTON, this day.

"The Government have ordered foul'HawkerTom-tit aeroplanes for use at the

Air Force station at Wigram/' states theMinister of Defence, the Hon. J. Gr. Cobbi*•'These machines have been selected asthey are considered to be the most suit-able type of aircraft for use as advancedtraining machines. <

"Amongst the officers who will beattending the courses at Wigram duringthe next summer there will be manyyoung pilots from aero clubs who haveflown only Moth aeroplanes. Before theycan be considered qualified to fly Servicemachines, such as Grebes, BristolFighters or Faireys, it is essential thatthey should carry out some advancedtraining on a machine of greater powerand speed than the modem Jight aero-planes. Every endeavour will thereforebe made to have these Tom-tits landed inNew Zealand before the end of this year.The engine is a 130 h.p. Mongoose, madeby the Armstrong-Riddeley Company, andthe cruising speed of the machine isgiven as 115 miles per hour."

BANDMASTER KILLED.

MR. CHRISTOPHER SMITH.

KNOCKED DOWN BY TRAM.

LONG MUSICAL CAREER,

Knocked down by a tram in HobsonStreet shortly 'before eight o'clock lastevening, Mr. Christopher Smith, con-ductor of, the Auckland Municipal Band,received severe injuries to his head,and he died while being taken to thehospital. Mr. Smith's untimely endremoves one of the best-known bands-men in this part of the world.

Mr. Smith was crossing the streetopposite the' electric power transformerstation. The tram was. travelling to-wards the city and the motorman, Mr.J. Pollard, sounded his gong.. Mr. Smithhesitated, but then stepped forward,and, although the tram was not movingfast and the .'brakes were promptlyapplied, he was struck and fell under-neath the car. The St. John Ambulancewas ' summoned, - but Mr. Smith diedbefore he could be got to the hospital.His skull was fractured.

Forty Years' Experience.The late Mr. Smith was a bandsman

of "more than forty years' experience.In the Homeland he was for four yearsconductor of the famous Besses o' the

Barn Band,- which toured the UnitedKingdom, South Africa, Australia andNew Zealand. Prior to taking over theBesses o' the Barn Band, Mr. Smith wasassociated with brass and military bandsin all parts of the United Kingdom.From England he went to'Australia, andwas conductor of the Adelaide Munici-pal Tramway Trust Band, one of themost famous musical organisations inthe Commonwealth.

In July, 1924, Mr. Smith was selectedfrom 28 applicants to organise the Auck-land Municipal Band. In making theirselection the City Council were guided•by Mr. Smith's long experience withfamous bands and orchestras as player,trainer and conductor.

Hundreds of prizes were won by bandsunder the baton of the late Mr. Smith.Before he left England for Australiaover fifty bands made application, forhis professional services. During hiscareer he composed band music for pub-lication and he arranged several piecesin the Municipal Band's repertoire."

As an individual player Mr. Smithexcelled, with the cornet and the trum-pet. and at one time he held the world scornet championship. He also played'the' clarinet, oboe, saxophone and violin.With his wide knowledge of music Mr.Smith possessed exceptional ability asa selector of bandsmen. In 1923 he wasone of the judges at the band contest atDunedin.

The late Mr. Smith, who was G4 yearsof age, lived at 23, Allendale Road,Mount Albert. He is survived by hiswife and an adult family of two.

Mr. Christopher Smith

CAR ENTERS SHOP.

GOES THROUGH DOORWAY.

CROCKERY IN EDEN TERRACE,

Cups, kitchen utensils and plate glasswere scattered liberally over the pave-ment when a motor car ran through the.doorway of a shop at the corner ofBasque Road and Eden Terrace shortlyafter eleven o'clock this morning. Thedoorway to the shop, the premises ofMessrs. H. C. McKenzie and Company,new and second-hand furniture dealers,was no wider than the average door-wav, but as the car was of the smallkind the matter of making an entry inthis conventional manner did not presentmany difficulties.

The driver, Mr. Whitaker, of IS,Coyle Street, Sandringliam, had left hiscar unoccupied a few yards. further upEden Terrace, which slopes downward atthis point. Owing either to the failureof the brakes or the force of the wind,the "baby" car set off on its own power,its wayward career coming to an endwith the impromptu visit to the furni-ture dealer's.

WOMAN'S BEQUESTS.

Under the will of the late Mrs. JamesTrounson, of Northcote, the trusteesare directed to pay to the stewards ofGlastry circuit, of the Methodist Church.

Down, Ireland, the sum of£500 and a similar sumto the Methodist

Church of New Zealand, for investmentfor the use of the Mount Albert Orphan-age Another £200 is bequeated to theNew Zealand Alliance. Mrs. Trounson'sestate has been valued for probate pur-poses at £9000.'

INCREASED TAXES.

Politicians and public alike are givento much thought at the present timeconcerning the increases in taxation.There is no doubt that ccitain of the

necessities of life will now be m6ro ex-pensive for us, but it appears that usersof that famous specific Baxter's LungPreserver have nothing to worry about."Baxter's" will still be available at itsusual prices.

Baxter's Lung Preserver is a rich, red,warming, soothing compound that doesrood from the first dose. This fine oldremedy is invaluable for coughs, colds,sore throats, bronchitis, asthma and in-

fluenza. Possesses splendid tonic pro-perties, too.

"Baxter's" bottles are now fitted witha new screw cap that provides a perfectseal and preserves the contents. Youcan obtain a generous-sized bottle from

any chemist, or store for half a crown.

Economical people buy the large familysize at 4/6. while the 1/6 bottle is

handy for bachelors. (Ad.)

STORM WATER IN SEWER

WHOSE THE RESPONSIBILITY?

TAKAPUNA CONTROVERSY.

LONG DEBATE IN COUNCIL.

Discussion upon the administration ofdrainage and sanitation matters in theborough occupied three and a quarterhours of the time devoted to last night'smeeting of the Takapuna Borough Coun-cil.

The matter arose just when a strong

deputation from plumbers and drain-layers engaged in the borough 'waitedupon the council to urge that no changebe made in the system of inspectionand'control. Mr. W. Wheeler, who was

the chief spokesman, urged that thehandling of purely plumbing and sanita-tion matters should not be within theprovince of the borough engineer. The

administration of aflairs by the boroughplumbing and drainage Mi.H. P. Collins, had always been fair toall parties, including the borough, andthose affected felt any change wouldnot be in the public interest.

The Medical Officer of Health, Dr. H.Chesson, said that local bodies had thechoice of making their own by-laws forgoverning plumbing and sanitation, orof working under the regulations issuedunder the Health Act. Takapuna hadchosen the latter course. The regula-tions had been very carefully prepared,and were designed to assure absolutehygienic results. As district healthofficer, he preferred to lopk to theborough engineer for responsibilityrather than to a subordinate officer.

Dr. Chesson was subjected to a runningfire of questions and interjections fromthe members of the deputation, and adebate developed between him and Mr.Wheeler upon the length of "wastepipes.

After prolonged discussion the councilresolved that a sub-committee_ be setup to confer with borough officials andrepresentatives of the plumbers anddrainlayers, and to report to the nextmeeting of the council.

The Mayor's Misgivings.Later in the evening the Mayor, Mr.

J. W. Williamson, moved the rescindingof the resolution whereby control ofsanitary matters had been given jointlyto the borough engineer and the plumb-ing inspector. He said he had experi-enced misgivings for some little time,as tlu result of an interview he hadhad with Dr. Chesson, and of a letterreceived from Mr. A. Slinger, consultingengineer to the borough. Dr. Chessonhad said that in some respects, thehealth regulations had not been compliedwith: ■ Mr. Slinger had said that heviewed- the borough drainage with con-cern,' owing to, the great amount ofstorm water that was entering thesewers. It was absolutely essentialthat such water should be kept out ofthe system.

At this stage there wa« a sharp clashbetween Mr. J. Guiniven and the boroughengineer, Mr. J. D. Bodle. Mr. Guinivenasked Mr. Bodle to tell the council fromwhom he had learned that stormwater was entering the system.Mr. Bodle replied that his informantwas Mr. Woods, who was in charge ofthe sewerage connections in the borough.

Inspector Criticised.Mr.. Williamson said he considered it

his duty .t.o ask.the council to review theappoiritniqnt of Mr. Collins as boroughplumbing . inspector., , His was a con-ditional appointment, and laxity hadbeen shown by him in not detectingcases where storm water, had beenturned into the sewers.

Replying, Mr. Collins said that theday he took over the office he had beenwarned that he would •be watched, andperhaps "caught." His written instruc-tions were to put Takapuna on a parwith other districts around Aucklandas regards drainage. He had alwaystaken every precaution to keep tiiestorm water from entering the sewers,and every permit issued was stamped"Strictly separate system—Exclusive of.etorm water."

Mr. Collins displayed a tangled root-growth which, he said, had been re-moved from the main-line sewer sometime ago, and contended that its growthcould not have been possible if thesfcwer line had not leaked. It was quitelikely that any overplus of storm waterentered the sewers through leakage. Todate he had inspected 264 house drainageconnections, and not one complaint hadbeen received on their account. That,he contended, was evidence of carefulinspection.

Asked by the Mayor if he had seenthe position at a local baker's premises,where the storm water was Openly leddirect in to the sewer, Mr. Collins repliedthat he had not. That installation hadbeen put in prior to his taking over,and, in addition, bakehouse inspectionswere made by the Health Department'sinspector, and not by him.

A long discussion followed, and theMayor finally agreed to withdraw hismotion until such time as the confer-ence between the special committee andthe plumbing trade is held. He reservedthe right to re-introduce it, if, in hisopinion, he thought the report of thatconference warranted it.

WIRELESS TELEPHONE.SYDNEY-WELLINGTON.

EXPERIMENTS successful.

EARLY OPENING EXPECTED

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

Judging- "by the progress already

audible to short wave listeners, there

appears good reason to anticipate the

early opening of the wireless telephoneservice between New Zealand and Aus-

tralia. Tho Christchurcli "Star's" radioeditor reports having overheard theSydney short wave station VK2ML, andthe New Zealand Government's newly-installed short wave telephone stationVLW, Wellington, carrying out duplextelephony tests yesterday afternoon andevening. Despite some slight surgingat both ends, which did not in any wayinterfere with the clear reading of thesignals, the progress made in couplingup the 'two systems was such as toindicate that it is now only a matter ofa very few days before it will be com-paratively easy to call up and conversewith anyone on the telephone systemof Australia.

The next step will be to link up NewZealand with the Sydney-London-NewYork wireless telephone system, a workthat appears, from the tests alreadyaudible in New Zealand, fairly easy ofaccomplishment.

PREEZING WORKERS.

WAGE REDUCTION URGED.

HEAVY FALL IN MEAT PRICES,

(By Telegraph.—Press Association,)WELLINGTON, this day.

A large and representative meetingyesterday of representatives of theMeat Producers' Board, the Sheepowners'Federation, the Farmers' Union, andNorth and South Island freezing com-panies' associations and casing com-panies discussed the serious position ofthe stock-raising and freezing industries,due to the heavy fall in the value ofmeat and by-products.

The following resolution was unani-mously passed: "That owing to the seri-ous fall in the value of meat and by-products, it is essential that the costsof working in the freezing industrybe reduced. This meeting is, therefore-fore, of the opinion that the freezingcompanies should approach the Arbitra-tion Court for a substantial reductionin rates paid, and the abolition of therestrictions which hinder the economicalworking of various departments, therebyreducing efficiency."

elected president of the new organisa-tion, said over 20 firms and individualshad alreadv enrolled, and the munbei-fihip bade fair to be very representative.The first object of the society was toestablish a bureau which w ould gi'v 0

advice and assistance in furtherance orthe objects thev had in view, and thefinancial support promised was veryencouraging. It was their aim to encourage people to open their puises aiu

to give the city a brighter aspect. Ie

societv had no intention, nor had 1 ie

scope, to' finance actual building 01

renovation operations. Its object as

to induce property owners to expend thenecessary money themselves.

Mr. T. Bloodworth said it was_ perhapsnecessary to emphasise this point, as anumber of people appeared to have eenunder the impression that tne woik Mas

to be done by the new organisation, it

was really a persuading society. (J-outi

laughter.) It was a co-operative eftqrt,and probably the first of its kind, in-

augurated and carried 011 by the busi-ness men of the city, to carry out woi *

of modernisation and improvemen .

There had, perhaps, been too muchtendency to leave this kind of woi s. 0

public bodies, and it was good to seethe 'business community moving 101

itself. "I can assure yon it has the

support of the branch of J'a^ c. s 'Jactivity which I represent, said 1 1.

Bloodworth, amid applause.Mr. C. F. Bennett said the main object

of the society would be to rouse publicinterest in the cause of modernising ant

improving city and suburban properties.The establishment of an auvisoiy an

publicity bureau was a first step in Iheright direction.

The president said there was an im-portant psychological aspect of the newsociety's work. There had been toomuch pessimism in the past, and it wasnow necessary to look on the bright side.The country was by no means "downand out." New Zealand was sound atheart, and the last banking returnsshowed a definite improvement in condi-tions over those prevailing last year.

Mr. J. Purtell said there ,coukl be-nodenying the fact that unemploymentwas very serious at present, and such uco-operative eiFort as this could not helpbut do good.

Mr. T. Bloodworth and -Sir. L. H. Piperwere elected vice-presidents, and Mr. S.E. Wriglit was appointed secretary andtreasurer. The committee was electedas follows:—Messrs. H. H. Brickell, C.F. Bennett, R. A. Conuish, A. J. Hutchin-son, G. W. Hutchison, R. Laidlaw, A. C.A. Sexton, J. Park, W. A. Phillips,-A.Spencer, G. Winstorie, jun., T. W. Mount-joyr S. E. Chappell, J. Purtell, E.

and V. A. C'ovle.The president pointed out that the

committee represented many interests,including architecture, building, brick-making, the timber trade, real estate,tho legal profession, the Employers' As-sociation, the carrying industry, andorganised labour. It was a very en-couraging send-off.

Questions of finance, staff, office andpublicity were referred to the executive,and a number o£ new members wereenrolled.

A vote of thanks was accorded to thePress for its support of the scheme.

studies of the moon, German astrono-mers have reached the conclusion thatthe midday temperature of the alwayscloudless moon averages close to theboiling point of water and that the mid-night, temperature averages close to 123degrees, below zero Centigrade, which ismore than twice as cold as the coldestday "bn earth at either Pole.

SCHEME ABANDONED.

MIL,FORD BATHING POOL.

DONATION OF £1000 OFFERED,

COUNCIL CANNOT FIND BALANCE

As the proposal to construct a bathingpool on the Wairau Estuary near thePirate Shippe at Mil ford has been con-

sidered financially impossible, the Taka-puuna Borough Council, at last night'smeeting, decided to drop the scheme inthe meantime.

At its last meeting, three weeks ago,the council decided to ask the North.Shore Transport Co. and subsidiaryamusement companies how much theywere prepared to contribute toward thecost of the work.

In its reply the council, the Devon-port Steam Ferry Company advised thatthe respective boards of directors ofthat company and the North ShoreTransport Company had carefully con-sidered the Wairau Estuary schemewhich had been submitted to them bythe Takapnna Borough Council. "Eachof the boards is in entire accord withthe important and unique proposal,"the letter stated, "and is desirous ofassisting the council to further theproposition as far as lies in theirpower." In their opinion the schemewould prove the greatest attraction forthe borough and would undoubtedly begreatly appreciated by the public gen-erallv.

"With this end in view," said the sec-retaryof the company, "1 am instructedto advise you that each company is pre-pared to financially assist the councilby donating £500 each. The directorsfeel that in consideration of their mak-ing these liberal donations, a concessionshould be granted the companies, ortheir nominee (which would probably beHilford Amusements, Ltd.) to have theexclusive privilege of letting- for hire,canoes and pleasure boats ou the sheetof water which would be enclosed bythe present embankment. It is alsofelt that the council should undertakenot to grant permission to any personto vend refreshments or tobacco on the'borough's properfy immediately adjoin-ing the proposed water area.-

"I trust that you will realise that inmaking these suggestions it is the desireof my directors to 'be entirely fair in thematter and tliey feel that the request is,in the circumstances, reasonable andwill be favourably considered by thecouncil."

"Well, that seems to be tlie end ofthe, proposal for the time being," saidthe Mayor, Mr. J. W. Williamson. Headded that the estimated cost of thework was £5000. The highest subsidythe council could expect was £2000, sowith the' £1000 donation of the com-panies and the £500 in labour andmaterials by the council, there still re-mained about £1500 to be found beforethe scheme could be carried out. Underthese circumstances the council couldnot advance further.

"Does the price include the cost of aglass roof over Milford?" asked Mr. J.Guiniven. (Laughter.)It was decided to thank the com-

panies for their offer and to inform themthat the scheme was not financially pos-sible. .

FIGHT AT RANGIPOKIA.

MAORI RAID RECALLED,

SURPRISE ATTACK ON MAUKU,

A little-known engagement of theMaori wars was that which took placeat Rangipokia in October, ISO3. A Maoriwar party descended the Waikato Riverin canoes, and landed at Rangipokia.They intended attacking the settlers atthe • Mauku, and would ,probably havetaken the place by surprise only thatsome of them started shooting the set-tlers' cattle, and the alarm was raised.

Word was sent to Drury for help, andthe settlers, under Major Lusk, engagedthe enemy. By a flanking movement theMaoris got between them ancl the stock-ade and a brisk engagement ensued, inwhich Lieutenants Norman and Per-cival were killed, together with severalsettlers.

The Maoris were eventually driven off,and then retired to Rangipokia and em-barked in their war canoes. A numberof letters left on the river have testifiedto the fact that a number of Maoriswere killed and wounded.

The raiders were the Maniopoto tribefrom the Waipa River, and were prob-ably some of the army of the chief Rewi,which put up such a strong resistance tothe British troops at Orakau in Apu >

An interesting find of Maori handi-work was made recently at the WaikatoHeads by Mr. E. T. Frost.

"CURSE OF ROAD"

RECKLESS DRIVING.

YOUNG MOTORIST GAOLED.

CAUSED DEATH OF COUSIN.

JUDGE'S "HEAVY RESPONSIBILITY."

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

HAMILTON, this day.

Mr. Justice Smith does not consider a

fine to be a sufficient deterrent tomotorists found guilty of recklessness.In sentencing Hector John Shaw, aged20, a farmhand, at T&uwhare, who hadbeen found guilty of causing the deathof his cousin, Thomas Shaw, on May 8,at Newstead, his Honor to-day madevery strong comment on reckless driving.

Addressing the prisoner, his Honor saidthe case had caused him very greatanxiety. "No one supposes," he said,"that you deliberately intended to killanybody, least of all a relative of yourown. The short facts are, however, thatyou went on a joy ride .in a light five-seater car, with six people aboard, threecrowded into the front seat. You weredriving along an opaa stretch of road atthe high speed of thirty-five milesto forty miles an hour. Theroad had small pot holes, but the Crownaccepted the view that the speed wassafe enough in view of the width of theroad. Instead of passing safely, youdrove in such a manner that you hit anapproaching car, which was well overon its correct side. You may have beenpartially disabled, by the presence ofthree people in the front seat of a lightcar. . If so, that was a reason for exer-cising great caution in passing. Thevisibility was good, but you were out onthis joy ride and drove in a maniierwhich can only be described as utterlyreckless. Two of your own passengers in

the back seat could see there was goingto be a collision before it occurred. Onegot down on the floor and so saved hislife. Your speed was so considerablethat*although you appeared, to have onlygrazed the other car, your own carturned a complete somersault.

Might Have Killed a Family."Jt is driving like this which puts in

jeopardy the lives of innocent and care-ful people. You were quite reckless ofthe peril which you created for otherpeople. You might have killed the twomen in the approaching car, which wasbeing carefully driven. If the occupantsof the car had been a family party youmight have killed them all, or perhapshave bereft, children of their parents, orparents of their children. Such is theselfishness and blindness of reckless driv-ing. • It' is the daily curse of the road.It is due mainly to intoxicants andcriminal folly. You yourself were notdrunk and you are free from the weightand guilt which attaches to that."

The prisoner, his Honor went on tosay; was not a criminal of the ordinarysense, yet if he dia not impose a sen-tence of imprisonment he could not seethat any • check would be imposed onutterly reckless drivers. "I realise lamtaking a .heavy responsibility in impos-ing a sentence of imprisonment," hesaid, "but I -do not see what else Ican do. Those who drive so recklesslyand are found guilty by a jury of neg-ligent driving must learn that they in-dulge their criminal folly at the priceof their own freedom." .

Prisoner was sentenced to threemonths' imprisonment without hardlabour, and his Honor expressed the de-sire that the prison authorities keephim separate, as far as possible, from theordinary criminal class. Accused'slicense was suspended and _he wasdeclared disqualified to hold a license fortwo years from the expiration of hispresent license. ,

WASTE ALLEGED.

TAKAPUNA GRAMMAR SCHOOL

PRICE PAH* , FOR SITE.

DEPARTMENT CRITICISED,

Ifc was stated in at-tached to the chairman's report and pre-sented at a meeting of' the AucklandGrammar Schools Board yesterday thatthere would be an extra cost of £20,655,as the outcome of a Departmental deci-

sion regarding the site of the TakapunaGrammar School.

The memorandum traversed the his-tory of the particular school, and saidthat the building of the school on thepresent site was satisfactory to Devon-port. and Takapuna, but not to the dis-trict as a whole. In making the originalselection the board wished to cater'forthe.whole of the North Shore, and thatwas the reason for the selection of Taha-roto Park. The cost of enlarging thepresent school to cater for Northcotescholars would have been £4000, but to-day Northcote wanted a secondary schoolof its own. It was considered that itwould cost £20,000 for a school site atNorthcote.

SECOND VISIT.

THIEVES AT WINE CELLARS.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.

CONSTABLE'S DISCOVERY,

While on his rounds at an early hourthis morning, a Newton constable dis-covered a broken window at the rearof the premises of S. Jowett and Com-

pany, wine and spirit merchants, St.Kevin's Arcade, Karangahape Road.

It was evident that an unsuccessfulattempt had been made to gain accessto the wine cellars, near the office inthe basement. A pane of glass near thehandle of the window clasp was smashed,but the thieves found it impossible torelease! the catch, which had beenrivetted.

Last March thieves succeeded in break-ing into the premises, when they tookaway a quantity of liquor.

AGED COUPLE PART.

UNDEFENDED DIVORCE CASES

QUARREL WITH STEP-

CHILDREN.

STORY OF SEPARATION.» ~~~~ 1

After listening to a round-aboutexplanation of how an elderly couplecame to separate, Mr. Justice Herdmangranted a dec/ee nisi to William McLeish(Mr.: Thwaites), who petitioned in theSupreme Court this morning for adivorce from Alice Maria McLeish. Theground for" the application was mutualseparation.

According to petitioner, the partieswere married at Cambridge in 1909, therespondent being a widow with niuechildren. Petitioner went to the war, andwhen he returned his stepchildren woregrown up, and constantly quarrelledwith him., Twelve months afterwards heand his wife agreed to separate.

His, Honor:. When did you comeback?—In 1916.

What date in 1916?—I came back onthe Ulimaroa.

That will not do for me. Was it atthe beginning of. the year or when?—Atthe end of 1916. .

What . happened. when you cameback?—I was an invalid,s That does not help this case. —I dis-

agreed with the boys and we agreedmutually to separate. My wife wouldnot come away with me, so I took afarm at Okoroire.

Did your wife agree to live apart fromyou?—Yes.'

Petitioner added that he did not paymaintenance to his wife, who lived withher children at Cambridge. He had notseen her for ten years.' The decree was granted after corro-

borative evidence had been given.Failure To Return.

The failure of John W. T. Maeklow(Mr. Singer) to return to his wife, OliveMay Maeklow (Mr. Finlay), under anorder for restitution of conjugal rights,resulted in the latter succeeding in herapplication for divorce. The couple we'remarried in May, 1010, and tliere wasone child of the union. The husband wasordered by the Court on June 17 lastto return to his wife, but he had not cloneso.

"Quite Hopeless.""Our temperaments were entirely in-

compatible,, and, in February, 192G, mywife desired that We should separate.We consulted our solicitors, but patchedup our differences for a time. Ourendeavour to live together was quitshopeless, however, and in September,1926, we finally parted," said Charles

Russell Jones (Mr. .Singer), who soughta dissolution of his marriage withDoris Maitland Jones (Mr. AllanMoody), on the grounds of mutualseparation.

. The marriage was solemnised mJanuary, 1923, said petitioner, whoexplained that he had written his wifesetting out the reasons for his leaving.The respondent had wanted him to leave,and realised that it was the only thingpossible. Arrangements had been madeinvrespect to maintenance, and they hadbeen observed up to the present time.Since the separation petitioner said hehad not seen his wife.

A decree nisi was granted.Agreed To Separate.

"I had to leave my husband onaccount of cruelty," declared HazelBertha Newton (Mr. Inder), who askedfor a divorce from John Newton on theground of separation by mutual consent.

The pair were married in July, 192 i,and three years later petitioner hadoccasion to apply to the Maistrate'sCourt for a separation and maintenanceorder. Her application,' however, wasdeclined by the magistrate, who sug-gested that the young couple shouldcome together. They discussed the matterat the Court, but agreed to separate.

Corroborative evidence was given bythe mother of petitioner, who said shewas present at the conference that »vasheld between her daughter andrespondent when they agreed to part.

A decree was granted, and petitionerwas given the interim custody of the onechild of the union.

UNUSUAL CLAIM.

TREBLE PENALTY ASKED.

OLD LAW INVOKED.

DECISION RESERVED,

Decision was reserved by Mr. JusticeHerdman in the Supreme Court yester-day afternoon after he had heard evi-dence in the case in which Arthur Cleave,journalist (Mr. A. H. Johnstone andMr. Black) proceeded against the Com-mercial Loan arid Finance Company, Ltd.

(Mr. Golstine), under a statute datingback to 1689, which stipulates that any-one who illegally removes from poundchattels that have been lawfully im-

pounded is liable to a penalty of threetimes the value of the chattels removed.

The plaintiff claimed that after hehad distrained for rent on fittings fromTurkish Baths in Chancery Chambers,the defendant company forcibly tookpossession of these fittings under a bill-of-sale, and refused to deliver them.

Plaintiff valued the goods so taken at£115 15/, and claimed treble that amountin damages ai]d costs.

The total value of the goods taken bythe defendant company did not amountto £50, said Mr. Goklstinc. If the plain-tiff made a distraint for arrears of rent,he contended,' it was afterwards aban-doned, because the plaintiff's bailiff leftthe premises at 7 p.m. and did not returnuntil after 8 the following morning.

Mr. Johnstone, in reply, said the dis-traint may have been irregular, but itwas not unlawful.

Outlining the case for the defence, Mr.Goldstine said the defendant companyseized the goods under a bill-of-sale with-out any knowledge that there lig.d beena distraint.' *

Early on the morning of February 12the door of the Turkish Baths premiseswas wide open, said E. R. Sly, managerof the defendant company, in evidence.He and others with him began to removethe goods. A warrant was pinned to thewall while this was being done. Whenthe tenant occupier, Naik, appeared fromhis bedroom, a quantity had been re-moved. Naik made no reference to anydistraint, previously, but, when he sawthe chattels being removed, began toremove his furniture. Witness stoppedhim. Plaintiff's bailiff made no refer-ence to a distraint when lie arrived after8 o'clock, but only asked whether therewas a telephone, rang up his employerand went away. He returned shortlyafterwards with Cleave. The greaterpart of the chattels had,been transferredto a vacant section be/ore Cleave'sarrival.

The chattels were sold for £43, saidthe representative of a firm of auc-tioneers. He said the fittings remainingon the premises would not realise £50.

It was argued by Mr. Goldstine thatthe evidence showed there was anabandonment of the distraint as betweenthe landlord and a third party, thedefendant company, from the fact thatlie left the premises over'night withoutany notice to the third parties that adistraint had been effected:

Mr. 'Johnstone submitted that theplaintiff was entitled to three times thevalue of the goods taken by the defend-ant. If "the distraint had been irregular,it had been at least lawfully carriedout. He contended that there had beenno abandonment.

CHISEL IN POCKET.

MAN FOUND INSIDE YARD.

WARNING BJ MAGISTRATE,

Found in a yard in Pitt Street onthe night of August 20 with a chisel inhis pocket, Henry Samuel Johnson* alabourer aged 26, was charged, at thePolice Court this morning with being arogue and vagabond, found unlawfullyon enclosed premises.

Accused pleaded guilty.Sub Inspector Shanahan said Johnson

had been on remand since he firstappeared a week ago. About 5.5 onthe night in question a Mr/ Bell wasworking in his shop in, Pitt Street whenhe heard a noise in the yard. On in-vestigating he found Johnson there.Johnson had climbed over a seven footfence to get into the yard. Mr. Bell

, called a constable who found thataccused had a chisel in his pocket. Whenquestioned Johnson said "It does notdo to tell you " fellows much."

Constable Hynes said accused had beendrinking but was not by any meansdrunk. *

"The chisel may appear sinister," saidMr. K. C. Atkins, who appeared foraccused,, "but it was really not so.A few days previous to his arrestaccused's people had moved into a newhouse, and accused was engaged un-packing. His mother asked him to goon a message and he slipped the chiselinto his pocket. Instead of goiiig on themessage, however, Johnson went to ahotel and got drunk.

"Yes, and slipped over a seven footfence too," commented Mr. Hunt.

Counsel explained that accused, notwishing' to go home in a drunken con-dition went into the section to have asleep.

Mr. Hunt convicted and orderedaccused to come up when called uponwithin 12 months. "All the same," saidthe S.M., "I don't believe your story andif you are found with a chisel agaiuI'll put you up on this charge."

TAUPO TIMBER LANDS.

COMPLICATED DEALINGS

ENGLISH CREDITORS' CLAIM.

WELLINGTON, Wednesday,A further development in the com-

plicated affairs of the Tongariro TimberCompany is the presentation by Mr. C.H. Clinkard (Rotorua) of a petition fromDr. W. A. Chappie, of Wellington, askingfor protection for the company's Englishcreditors, including the petitioner.

lie states that in 1922 they jointlyadvanced to the company £35,000, whichwas secured bv mortgages over certaintimber blocks, the milling rights of whichwere held from the natives. This moneywas paid direct to the Aotea Native LandBoard, to be distributed among thenatives as royalties for timber, whichhas not yet been removed. It is sug-gested that, if any legislation is passedprotecting the Egmont Box Company, itshould also provide for the transfer tothe petitioner and other English creditorsof the milling rights on the areasincluded in their mortgage. This, it isstated, will remove grave sense ofinjustice which the English investors,having based their trust on Acts of Par-liament, may otherwise feel deeply.

UNEMPLOYED RELIEF.

FARMERS RESENT TAXATION.

GENERAL PROTEST MADE.

"ATTACK THE ROOT CAUSES."

That the fanners are not being suf-

ficiently considered under proposed legis-lation with regard to unemployment isthe emphatic opinion of the Aucklandprovincial secretary of the New Zea-

land Fanners' Union (Mr. A. E. Robin-son).

Delegates from the different branchesof the King Country and the Whangareisub provinces had decisively supportedthe report, on unemployment reliefadopted by the last Dominion conference,which included an emphatic protestagainst "regarding unemployment aspermanent, and against setting up anorganisation to create and administera fund of a million per annum." Theconference recommended that any extrarevenue for unemployment relief shouldbe obtained by a big tax on luxuries,and-that a determined effort should bemade to enable profitable employmentof labour and capital through a reduc-tion of costs. The conference wishedan attack on the root causes of unem-ployment to bo made. The present situ-ation to be met by increased luxurytaxes. , ,

"Farmers are in the peculiar position,said Mr. Robinson, "of too often havingmore work than they can possibly dothemselves, and yet, being unable to paythe wages which have become necessaryunder the weight of cost of living. Toask those men to pay for the relief ofothers, who have all along been betteroil' than themselves, is to irritate thefarming class beyond measure. Alreadyobjections to the poll tax are comingin freely and although farmers arenotoriously apt to shut the stable doorafter the horse has gone, it can betaken for granted that the poll tax willbe opposed by every means in their,power."

"There are men farming to-day whoseannual income is nothing approachingthe proposed sustenance benefits to menout of work, he said. "There are men,fighting a losing light, who for yearshave taken a very minimum from theircapital and wages combined in orderto allow them to stay on their farms.It is unjust that they should pay alevy which, if it has the effect expectedby many, of perpetuating unemployment,will help to drive them into the ranksof the unemployed and will keep theprice of labour permanently above thelevel at which the farming industrycan make use of it. The whole proposalshave a tendency to stabilise conditionswhich should not exist, instead of tend-ing to compel exploration of remedies."

ROYAL SILK CASE.

NOT TO BE REOPENED

APPLICATION BY STIPENDIARYSTEWARD.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

CHRISTCHURCH, this day.A meeting of the judicial committee

of the Metropolitan Trotting Club washeld last evening to inquire furtherinto the Royal Silk case, and. the com-mittee agreed that Mr. Beer, _the_ stipen-diary steward, was quite justified in

asking for 'the case to be reopened tohear further -evidence, but owing to theconflicting nature of the evidence itwas resolved that no further action be

taken.

On the opening day of the New Zea-land Metropolitan meeting at Addmg-ton recently Royal Silk, on a 2.52 markin a 2.50 class was unplaced in theAdvance Handicap. He was seventhfavourite. On the second day in theBelgium Handicap, on a 4.34 mark in a4.35 class, he was fourth favourite, andagain ran unplaced, the race being wonin 4.38 2-5. In the Islington Handicapon the concluding day, from 12ydsbehind in a 4.40 class, he was favouriteand won in 4.29 1-5, which was 1 3-5sfaster than the class two-milers wentin the chief handicap earlier in theafternoon. An inquiry into liis runningwas held and eventually it was decidedthat the explanation of the trainer, C.S. Donald, be accepted, but the commit-tee disqualified the owner of Royal Silk,Mrs. M. Harrall, for 12 months forgiving false evidence. The stipendiarysteward apparently wanted the case re-opened, with the above result.

WINNING OF COAL

McDONALD MINE ROYALTY.

NO GENERAL RATE REDUCTION.

(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)WELLINGTON, Wednesday.

There is to be no general reductionin the rate of royalty on the winning ofcoa'l in New Zealand.

The suggestion was recently- put tothe Hon. A. J. Murdoch, Minister ofMines, by Mr. H. E. Holland, Leader ofthe Labour party, that as 8d per tonwas the basis of the royalty on whichthe McDonald Mine had been leased toGlen Afton Collieries, Ltd., a similarreduction should be made in the casesof the Seddonville, Grey Valley, andother small mines which' were now belli"-charged one shilling.

"There, were special circumstanceswhich in the public interest justified theterms of the lease of the McDonaldMine," replied the Minister to-dav."These do not apply to the cases of co-operative mines mentioned in the hon-ourable gentleman's question."

EXPORTS AND CREDIT.

NECESSITY IN BUSINESS

WORKING SYSTEM EXPLAINED,

Obviously, in export trade, no ques'ction was more important than that ofthe granting of credit, said Mr. C. JLCroft, Canadian Trade Commissioner, tomembers of the Auckland Creditmen'iClub yesterday afternoon.

He referred- to the conclusions arrivedat by a convention of the NationalForeign Trade Council, Held m 1926*That body decided that credit was essen-tial to the expansion of foreign trade,-and that it could safely be granted.Credit losses did not exceed one-half of-one per cent, and in any case informa*tion regarding foreign buyers could bS*obtained without difficulty.

Mr. Croft stressed the difference be j

tween export trade and domestic trade.Speaking generally, export credit mußtbo long. He cited the case of goodsshipped from Montreal to Auckland.'The journey by cargo steamer was some40 days, and then another 20 to 25 dayswas necessary to get payment back tothe shipper, even on sight dr»ft terms.'It was obvious that capital would babadly tied up and negotiations ham-pered if the exporters could not "getcredit from the bank between the #aleand fhe time of collection.

In export trade it was necessary togive credits of 30, 60, or sometimes 90days. It was by means of long-periodcredits that Germany secured sucli afirm hold on overseas markets beforathe war, and exactly the same procedurewas enabling Germany to-day to_ re*establish her trade with the. Orient?South America and Russia.

Mr. Croft then referred at some lengthto foreign banking organisations thatgave credit on the scale desired by ex-porters. He. said banks for foreigntrade might be grouped into merchantbanks, colonial and foreign banks oracceptance houses, and he explained in"general terms the function of each.

"Those among us who are purchasers'know the value and the importance ofcredit," said Mr. Croft in conclusion,'and especially he emphasised the neces-sity for reliable credit information.

Power and fuel used in casein manu-facture cost £2793 4/4, an increase of£496 2/1, due to greater production inthe manufacture of rennet casein.

Casein freight, cartage and shippingcharges cost £5093 9/10, an increase of£1040 6/1, due to greater production andthe cartage of rennet curd on Sundays.

Other Charges on Department.Interest, rates, taxes and administra-

_

of £7

7/6 was shown in the advertising andtravelling expenses casein account, theamount spent being £28 0/1. Advertis-ing cost more owing to the greater num-ber of samples sent overseas, and moretravelling was necessary for rennetmanufacture.

The amount of £1181 16/2 was allowedfor depreciation, a decrease of £197 3/11.

Casein sales realised £45,411 6/, an in-

crease of £4728 16/1. The tonnage sold,including Te Awamutu, was 1173 tonslast year and 624 tons in 1928-29.

The charge to milk powder group fordairying; purposes cost £2551 2/, an in-crease of £2197 1/. The increase wasdue to drying, storing and shipping 19btons of lactic and 62 tons of rennetcaseins, ex Te Awamutu, compared with30 tons lactic in the previous year-

Stocks of casein were valued at £371015/5, an increase of £118 2/1.

Mr Pariane explained that the milkpowder profit and loss accounts had beenthoroughly analysed at meetings of therespective groups.

Casein purchases totalled £16,278 16/6,as against £13,200 4/ in 1928-29, an in-crease of £3078 12/6. Mr. Parlane saidthe 1928-29 season showed a decrease of£1896 0/11, as compared with 1927-28, jtherefore the past year had been verygood indeed, and was now ahead of1927-28.

Trading Department.Analysing the trading department's

accounts, Mr. Parlane said wages, rent ofstore, administration and general ex-penses amounted to £5257 7/5, a decreaseof £269 3/11 during the year.

Dairy Finance Company.The next department discussed by Mr.

Parlane was the New Zealand DairyFinance Company, Limited. The capitalposition, he said, was unchanged. Thereserve had been increased by £400 fromprofits and now stood at £1700. Theprofit for the year of £1917 8/8 had beenpaid into the appropriation account, and£1750 had been received by the NewZealand Co-operative Dairy Company asinterest on paid-up capital. The balanceof £1628 18/5 had been carried forward.

The company's box factory liad'made1.544,402 containers of all types, asagainst 1,235,140 for the previous year.The timber used totalled 7,203,821 superfeet, as against 5,640,111 super feet.

The output of the tin factory had been94,922 containers, of all types, as com-pared with 88,854 the previous year.

The Company's Laboratory.Mr. Parlane said the company's labora-

tory has continued to carry out researchwork with regard to manufacturing prob-lems. It had also done certain work forthe Department of Scietific and Indus-trialResearch, which was paid for with asubsidy from the department. Details oflaboratory work included:— *

Butter Department.—Check on sep-arator efficiency, butterfat losses in but-termilk, moisture and salt tests, micro-scopic examinations of butter for bac-teria, yeasts, moulds, quality of water,and checks on factory supplies such asparchment, salt.

Cheese Department. — Treating ofstandardised cheese (20,000 samples werehandled), methods of standardising,check on milk quality, openness in cheese,black spot defect, refilling plug holes.

Casein Department.—Quality and yieldtests, analyses certificates.

Milk Powder Department.—Qualitytests, check on grading, use of milkpowder in bread and ice cream, formulafor baby food manufacture.

General.—Farm separation tests, inves-tigation canned milk, cream, analysisslag shipments in suppliers' interests.

The insurance department had renderedvaluable service to suppliers in givingadvice on insurance matters and renewalsof policies automatically. It was also ofgreat value to the company in regard toinsurance of buildings and plant byprompt assessments and settlements ofclaims.

Economies had been effected in thecharges for the company's official organ,the "Dairyfarmer," as was disclosed inthe following details: —Number of copiesissued, 1929-30, 105,141; 1928-29, 105,263;1927-28, 100,667; cost, 1929-30, 4.813d;.1928-29, 4.816d; 1927-28, 5.130d.

The company had continued to testmilk samples for suppliers and the num-ber of cows tested twice or more was asfollows: — 1929-30, 10,839; 1928-29,11,046; 1926-27, 14,054.

Shareholders' Questions.In answer to a question by Mr. J. G.

Wynyard, Mr. Parlane stated that theprofits from investments were placed toreserve accounts. It was most impor-tant to have reserves in case stocks onhand failed to realise the price at whichthey were taken in. In reply to a fur-ther question by Mr. Wynyard, Mr. Par-lane said it was quite right to creditthe butter and other accounts withprofits from investments and othersources of income.

Mr. Wynyard asked how the cost ofdeveloping the condensed milk depart-ment was to be met. Mr. Parlane saidthe cost would be paid out of capital,and other charges incurred would bepaid out of revenue. He had no doubtthe condensed milk venture would be asuccess.

Mr. Dynes Fulton, chairman of direc-tors, said the amount invested in theDairy Finance Company had reached itslimit when £150,000 had been investedin it, and the object of the company intaking 125,000 shares in the new financecorporation was to help farmers whowere supplying the company. In theearly days the pioneers had to financethrough stock companies, who charged ahigher rate of interest than the financecorporation was charging. There wasno liability as far as the dairy companywas concerned.

In answer to Mr. T. Henry, Mr. Par-lane said he had no doubt the buildingsof the company were of a higher valuethan Avas stated in the balance-sheet.

Mr. Fulton said the company hadgiven donations only "to agriculturalsocieties, while it had contributed £100to the earthquake relief fund. (Ap-plause.) The fact of altering the sharestandard did not affect the old share-holders.

Mr. Parlane said butter in stock inNew Zealand had been taken in at l/2iper lb.

Price of Manures.Mr. W. Goodfellow, managing direc-

tor, said it was not possible on the pre-sent turnover to reduce the price ofChallenge manures. The only way toreduce the price was to reduce themethod of selling and to reduce the costsof distribution.

Mr. Fulton said if all the supplierswould buy their manure through thecompany an additional penny per lb but-terfat would be received. The companyhad advanced its suppliers £24,000 toenable them to finance the purchase ofmanures and other requirements. Theterms offered wfere much easier thanthose given by 'merchants.

Mr. Goodfellow said the ChallengeCompany intended to take up the ques-tion of selling lime.

After many questions had been askedand answered the report and balance-sheet were adopted unanimously.

Messrs. Chambers, Worth and Cham-bers were reappointed auditors.

A notice of motion given by Mr. R.A. Forsman, to restrict the powers ofthe directors, was rejected.

Mr. E. C. Houchen moved a motionasking that the question of Mr. P. All-sop's relations with the company be re-opened. The motion was rejected.

Mr. J. W. Noble moved that a plebis-cite be taken to alter the basis on but-

jterfat. He said shareholders held shares[ from one share for every 701b of cream[supplied to one share for every 1001b ofcream supplied. The question was re-ferred to the directors for consideration.

Remits passed by the suppliers' con-veners' conference were submitted to themeeting and approved.

Other Resolutions.A resolution proposed by Mr. Fulton

was carried, asking the Prime Ministerto do all in his power to further Empiretrade, and to support any proposal forpreferential treatment of Empire pro-duce. It was decided to cable the reso-lution to Mr. Forbes.

Appreciation of Mr. J. B. Wright'sservices as the company's London mana-ger was expressed in a resolution.

Mr. W. J. Boyd moved as follows:—"The meetmg believes that the time hasarrived for the scientific development ofthe pig industry, and urges the Govern-ment to remove the protective tariff onfoodstuffs necessary for the successfuladvancement of this industry." Themotion was carried unanimously.

A motion opposing the adoption cfdaylight saving was carried unani-mously.

The meeting resolved to support thehobby calf industry as conducted by Mr.S. Lye. .

(

Votes of thanks were passed to thechairman, staffs and factory employeesof the company, and to Messrs. Good-fellow and Parlane. Resolutions of sym-pathy with the relatives of the late Mr.Wesley Spragg and Mr. R. J. Maiseywere carried.

COAL SUPPLIES.

ASSURED FOR MANY YEARS.

REFERENCE TO McDONALD LEASE.

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

HAMILTON, Wednesday.Dealing with Glen Afton Collieries in

his address to the shareholders of theNew Zealand Co-operative Dairy Com-pany, Limited, Mr. W. Goodfellow,managing director of the company, saidthe output for the last year totalled164,929 tons, a reduction of 4000 tonscompared with last year. Sales tofactories totalled 31,615 tons and to sup-liers 13,513 tons. After paying all ex-penses and making adequate provisionfor repairs, renewals, maintenance anddebenture reserves, £3127 had been paidas rebates to suppliers, and a substan-tial amount had been pajd to the DairyCompany.

Referring to the lease of the Mc-Donald mine by the Glen Afton Col-lieries, Limited, Mr. Goodfellow said thedevelopmentof the new mine would costfrom£25,000 to£30,000, but thiswould bemet from reserves in hand, and thework would not cost the Dairy Companya penny. A contract to supply theAuckland Power Board with coal for 10years had been made, and the basis wasvery satisfactory to both parties.• The company had been forced to pay8d per ton royalty for the property,which was more than the coal wasworth. Development work was pro-ceeding rapidly and 80 men were em-ployed in connecting the new mine withthe screens at Glen Afton. Mr. Good-fellow said the acquisition of the minewould ensure adequate supplies of coalfor many years ahead.

NEW ZEALAND'S WHEAT LANDS.

Rainfall Deficiency Prevents Conversion toDairying.

The argument has been frequently putforward that if New Zealand's wheatindustry was wiped out by removing thewhfeat duties, our wheat farmers couldturn to dairying.

The vast majority .of our wheatgrowers are absolutely barred fromdairying, for the simple reason thattheir lands have a totally inadequaterainfall for this purpose.

Figures supplied by the GovernmentMeteorological Observatory and pub-lished in the "New Zealand Gazette,"No. 55, July 31, 1930, indicate this defi-ciency in rainfall very plainly. TakingAuckland, Hamilton, Stratford, Hawera,New Plymouth and Palmerston Nortbas representing dairying districts, thetotal 1929 rainfall in these six townswas 322.26 inches. The bulk of NewZealand's wheat is grown in Canterburyin the vicinity of Waikari, Eangiora,Christchurch, Ashburton, Timaru andOamaru. The 1929 rainfall in these sixtowns was only 156.61 inches, less thanhalf the rainfall of the six towns indairying districts.

The difference is even greater becausemost of the North Island towns referredto have adjacent hill country where therainfall is even higher than in the townsproper, for which figures are quoted.For instance, New Plymouth proper hada rainfall of 58.39 inches, but at Man-gorei, only nine miles away, the rainfallwas 149.G2 inches, while Oamaru, whichis in the wheat-growing area, recordedonly 27.64 inches. Canterbury is largelyflat, and lite rainfalls in the towns pro-per are fairly indicative of the rainfallsfor the surrounding country.

With less than half the rainfall en-joyed by the dairying districts, thewheat-grower is left with sheep farmingas the only alternative. If, however,our wheat farms were turned into sheepruns, the Dominion would suffer severelyin at least two directions. In the firstplace, the Dominion's annual wheat cropis worth approximately £2,500,000, butapproximately £1,000,000 only would bereturned if the present wheat areasAver© converted to sheep farming. Ontop of this loss there would -be thenecessity of sending £2,500,000 annuallyout of the country to purchase wheatwith no prospect of goods being taken inexchange. Secondly, considerably lesslabour is required on sheep farms thanon wheat farms. Without wheat-grow-ing, flour mill employees would have tobe discharged, as flour would be im-ported instead of wheat, as past experi-ence has shown. There would be. unem-ployment not only for those engaged onfarms and in mills, but also for thoseemployed on threshing and haulingplants, in twine works, in making agri-cultural implements, in grain stores andoffices, and in the transport services.The loss of wages, according to the re-port of the Wheat Industry Committeeappointed by the Government, wouldamount to over £800,000 per annum.This figure does not include loss ofwages in industries indirectly affected.

It is obvious, therefore, that ourwheat industry must be retained, for inaddition to climatic considerations thereis its vastly important economic valueto the Dominion.

"COMBINED SELLING."

AMALGAMATED DAIRIES.

TO STABILISE MARKET.

ME. GOODFELLOW'S OBJECTS,

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

HAMILTON, Wednesday,The relative functions of Amalga-

mated Dairies and Empire Dairies wereexplained by Mr. W. Goodfellow,

managing director of the New ZealandCo-operative Dairy Company, Limited,in his address at the annual meetingto-day.

Those who were associated with theselling of dairy produce realised theweakness of the present system ofmarketing, said Mr. Goodfellow. He be-lieved that national control with a fewmodifications would have been an idealscheme. As that had not been accepted,Amalgamated Dairies was formed andwas endeavouring to obtain at least 50or CO per cent of the butter and cheeseshipped to the United Kingdom. If theysucceeded they could do a considerableamount toward stabilising the market.

The object of both organisations wasto meet combined buying with combinedselling, Amalgamated Dairies being apurely New Zealand organisation, whileEmpire Dairies was a concern embracingthe different dependencies of the Empire,chiefly Australia, New Zealand, Canadaand South Africa. Amalgamated Dairieshad six selling agents in Britain. Thecommission charged by AmalgamatedDairies was the same as received byother agents, 2J per ccnt on consign-ments and 1 per cent on f.o.b. A re-bate, however, was given to associatedcompanies on their consignments.Under the present arrangement, ap-proximately two-thirds of the savingsin commission were returned to the in-dustry, no moneys being paid out otherthan interest on capital.

49 Companies Linked Up.Mr. Goodfellow said he had a very

difficult task in inducing co-operativefactories to link up with AmalgamatedDairies. The concern had been lookedupou with a certain amount of sus-picion. Last year they succeeded, how-ever, in inducing 49 co-operative com-panies to market their produce throughAmalgamated Dairies. During the pastseason they had handled approximately35 per cent of the Dominion's butter and12| per cent of the Dominion's cheese.They required at least 50 or GO percent of the Dominion's output if theywere to function successfully.

Mr. Goodfellow said he was glad tosay they had secured a considerableadditional business this season. Heanticipated that they would handlefrom 75 to 100 per cent more butter forthe coming year on behalf of theassociated factories. He pointed out,however, that the company was notprepared to go on indefinitely on anunder-supply, and if, during the next12 months, they could not get within a

reasonable distance of their objective,the position would be withdrawn.Neither Mr. J. B. Wright nor 1 thespeaker were dependent on the industry,and unless they could attain their ob-jective, to improve the marketing ofNew Zealand dairy produce, they werenot prepared to carry on.

Speaking with reference to EmpireDairies, Mr. Goodfelow said that duringthe year they had finalised an agree-ment with the Australian Producers'Wholesale Federation, an organisationdealing in all classes of produceand with a turnover of £9,000,000.Hitherto the butter and cheese sectionof the company had been controlled bythe company's own selling floor inTooley Street. The present arrange-ment would be satisfactory to pro-ducers of both countries. The moreproduce that was shipped direct to Lon-don the better able was the speculatorto manipulate the market.

Therefore, part of the policy ofEmpire Dairies was to decentralise dis-tribution and spread their produce overvarious parts of the United Kingdom.With that object in view, selling floorswould bo established at various impor-tant centres. The speaker again definedthe separate functions of AmalgamatedDairies/and Empire Dairies. Amalga-mated Dairies, he said, was formed withthe object of eliminating competitionamong New Zealand co-operative fac-tories in the sale of their products andto meet combined buying with com-bined selling. Empire Dairies wasformed to eliminate competition be-tween co-operative interests in Empirecountries and to co-ordinate the marketin the United Kingdom, with the objectof meeting combined buying with com-bined selling.

Great Expansion Possible.There was no doubt that the founda-

tions had been well laid and that theorganisation was capable of growing togreat dimensions. Under the scheme noone Empire country could take advan-tage of the other. It was purely aservice organisation and no profits weremade on commissions. Less overheadexpenses were rebated back to thecountry of origin of the goods.

THE FIRST POLICEMEN.

The Metropolitan Police Force firstwore white cluck trousers, blue swallow-tailed coats, and tall hats. When thenew force was planned in 1829 peoplefeared they might prove to be like Prus-sian drill sergeants. To convince thepublic that the policeman was not at allmilitary the designers of his uniformwere careful that he should not wearanything in the nature of a. militarycap. So they gave him a tall hat. Thefirst policemen were called Peelers, afterSir Robert Peel, their founder. Thentheir nickname was changed to Bobby—still after Sir Robert—and that namehas clung to the policeman ever since.After a time the public found that thepoliceman was not in any sense a bully,but the friend of lost children, a peace-maker

3and a keeper of order.

VIVISECTION.

IS IT ANTI-CHRISTIAN?

LECTURER'S PROTEST.

REVOLTING CRUELTY ALLEGED,

There was a large attendance at theLewis Eady Hall when Mr. M. Walkerdelivered a lecture on "Vivisection." Mr.

W. H. Murray presided.Mr. Walker said his subject would be

dealt with under two headings: (1) Isvivisection of value to medical science?(2) Is its practice compatible withChristianity ? He had invited the clergy !to hear the truths about vivisection,but in response had received hut threereplies. One, the lecturer thought, wasworth repeating. This clergyman saidthat as vivisection was the law of theland, we had no right to interfere. Thatsame clergyman, who was an ardentprohibitionist, fought the law of theland to his uttermost at election time.

Definition of Vivisection.The second question, said Mr. Walker,

would seem foolish to those who knewwhat vivisection was, as foolish as ask-ing, "Can a Christian approve of theft,or lying?" One of the best definitionsof vivisection was: "Vivisection is theexploitation of living animals for ex-periments concerning the phenomena oflife. Such experiments are made asa method of investigation of some theoryor problem, which may 'be with or with-out relation to the treatment of humanailments. Such experiments may rangefrom procedures which are practicallypainless, to those involving distress, ex-haustion, starvation, baking, burning,suffocation, poisoning, inoculation withdisease, and long-protracted agony anddeath. The experiments must includefeeding with loathsome substances inorder to produce disease, skinninganimals alive, covering them with spiritsand setting fire to them and otherwiseburning them alive."

During the past few weeks, Mr.Walker continued, no less than threeclergymen in Auckland had said, as anexcuse for their indifference, "The Biblesays that God gave man power overall the 'beasts of the earth to do whatlie likes with them, and so vivisectionis quite right." How, asked Mr. Wal-ker, would the Great Master, whosemission was love, view a modern torture-chamber ?

Experiment on a Horse.He proceeded to describe experiments

carried out by vivisectionists. In onecase, he said, sixty-four operations wereperformed on the- same living horse;

eight students were engaged on the eamoanimal at the same time; six horseswere used up in this way in a week andno anaesthetics were used. The opera-tions commenced at 0 a.m. and endedat 0 p.m. "The eyes were cut out, theteeth punched out, the hoofs torn off,the body fired, and every conceivableoperation upon the nerves, arteries,veins, bladder and skull was performedupon the groaning horse, and it wasconsidered highly creditable to theyoung students if they could keep theanimal alive until 6 p.m."

"Such cold-blooded cruelty," said thelecturer, "such repulsive and enragingcrueltv is the (negation of all that ismanly and moral, degrading to the fiendwho is guilty of it, and a disgrace toourselves who allow the practice, ofwhich this is a sample."

Use of Sera.The use of the serum in medicine

afflicted many animals with torture anddisease, and threatened the health of thepatient treated, said Mr. Walker. AtBundaberg, Australia, in 1928, twelvelittle children were killed outright byanti-diphtheria serum. At Baden, nearVienna, in 1928, six healthy babies in-noculated as a protection died immedi-ately. After this tragedy in Viennapublic opinion forced the Austrian Gov-ernment to prohibit the Schick testingand immunisation, as it was called. Yetwe permitted that practice to go on

I unhindered. , ;The speaker quoted numerous extracts

from eminent surgeons in England, inwhich they protested against the bar-barous practice of denounc-ing it as a refined legalised crime.

A hearty vote of thanks was accordedMr. Walker.

JUNGLE HUNT FOR MURDERER

Six weeks after disappearing in thejungle at the head of 187 volunteers,Jem-Lai-Hoe returned to Yen Bay,French Indo-China, with Luang-Ngo-Ton, murderer of Police Brigadier Saint-Genis.

The chase, which carried him and hislittle band to the confines of Indo-China,near the frontiers of China proper,rivalled the hunts of the CanadianNorth-west Mounted Police. Saint-Genis was assassinated in one of theoutbreaks which marked the ter-rorist-communist uprisings last March.

Turning his prisoner over to theFrench authorities, Jem-Lai-Hoc refusedto accept any money reward.

"I want little red ribbon like Su-Pai-Loo," he said, referring to the Legionof Honour awarded to one of his com-rades, a Kon-commissioned officer, who,along with Hoc, served on the Frenchside in the World War.

Mrs. G, D. Greenwood, of Amberley,Christchurch, is in London, staying atthe Lyceum Club, Piccadilly. She hada most delightful time in the UnitedStates en route,, where she travelledmostly by motor. She went i'nto Mexicoto Aguas Calientes, where there is agreat racecourse and a casino which, itis averred, will soon rival Monto Carlo.It is •at least becoming tha resort ofAmericans, since within the UnitedStates casinos are forbidden. Mrs.Greenwood spent some weeks in Holly-wood, and was able to see the insideof studios now busy making talkies.She was particularly struck by thewealth ,of the women's clubs inAmerica and the wide range of. theiractivities. Thus Ebell Women's Clublias its own theatre, and produces plays.What was eve'n more astonishing, injilrs. Greenwood's estimation, j was thatthe production of A. A. Milne's''Belinda," which she saw done by theijiembers at . this theatre, exhibitedno distressing American twang. Thepronunciation was really English. Mrs.(Greenwood is. seeing what racing shecan while in England, at Newmarketa'nd Goodwood.

At the recent garden party at Buck-ingham Palace, while the stream ofpeople waited for the King to emergefrom the tea pavilion the Prince ofWales and his two brothers went up tospeak to Sir Thomas Wilford and thelittle party of four whom he was topresent—Archbishop and Mrs. Averill,and the Hon. T. Shailer Weston andMrs. Weston.. Both the • ladies woreblue, Mrs. Averill a dark saxe and Mrs.Shailer Weston navy blue and a closefitting coat with a small cape and furcollar. Perhaps the most vivid recollec-tion of the whole afternoon, writes ourLondon correspondent, was of ■ theQueen's appearance as she walked downa lane made for her by the great officersof the household, her blue eyes and thegreen of her emerald ear-rings made themore vivid by the exquisite soft colour-ings of her coat and gown which werssilvery, with lovely tones of pale pink,blue and green. The coat was of multi-coloured brocade with white fox furcollar and cuffs over an embroideredgown with a multi-coloured swathedtoque to match in the same delicatetones, and in her hand was a tiny paleblue parosal. Princess Mary, who accom-panied her mother, was in mourning,with a white ermine stole to relieve hersombre coat and gown and black straw-hat. She is doubly in mourning, for herfather-in-law, the late Lord Harewood,and for her husband's aunt of whosedeath she must have heard just beforethe garden party, for Lady Mary Doynedied . suddenly that afternoon. Thisaccounted for the absence of Lord Hare-wood, who did not accompany PrincessMary. Among those who were pre-sented to the Queen as she made herway through the crowds to the teapavilion was Dame Clara Butt, who w6,reblack with a wonderful string of pearlsand was accompanied by her daughter).Miss Joy Kennerly-Rumford, and herhusband, Mr. Kennerly-Rumford.

WOMEN WOOL CLASSERS.A wool classing course for women,

which has been arranged by the Depart-ment of Agriculture, of Western Aus-tralia, and in the conduet of which thePerth Technical School is collaborating,wa3 opened in a elassroom at tha schoolby the Minister of Agriculture (saysthe "Western Mail," Perth). Between40 and 50 women from all over the Statetook the course, which lasted five days.Lectures and practical work alternatedwith inspection of the show floors of theWestralian Farmers, Limited, Dalgety'sand Elder, Smith's, where an idea ofthe great value of wool classification asa prelude to consigning to a broker wasgleaned, and many other use'ful pieces ofknowledge acquired. Women, aaid Mr.Millington, might well prove to 'be morenaturally adapted to wool classing thanmen, because of their more delicatetouch and their knowledge of fabrics.He knew of one farm on which thewoman was the wool cla3ser, her hus-band being an invalid. For such womenhe had the greatest admiration. Withpriees falling there was need for theutmost care in sheep breeding and in themarketing of wool. Wool classing wasnot hard work, but it required consider-able study. It waa matter for con-gratulation that in Western Australiawool was handled better than any othercommodity, and he was sure that stu-dents would find their visits to the woolstores educative in a high degree.

AMONG OURSELVES.

A WEEKLY BUDGET,

(By CONSTANCE CLYDE.)

AFRICAN FEMINISM.It is curious that in Africa, among

the natives., a certain power that thecoloured woman posses-sea is acting ad-versely, for the time, against her re 2!progress. In India, says a historian,the woman is frequently, according tothe old regime, subordinate throughouther life, at teast secluded from publiclife. In Africa, however, she can some-times be chief of a tribe, and has evenat times sat in the native Parliament.Wheh shu becomes old, her power andinfluence increase, and she is often thebitterest opponent of measures for theassistance of younger women. It seemsto us that we have read the same in-dictment against old native wem?ii inIndia, but this writer considers that inAfrica the influence of the old and em-bittered woman is much greater. Itwill be tragie, she states, if in educat-ing the young male native, his sister isleft in ignorance, as she will later draghim back again. For her own sake alsotraining is necessary, as the native girlis floeking into the towns to live andlabour. By education, of course, shemeans training for the opportunitiesthat come her way, 'not the forcedacquirement of subjects that cannotinterest her. Among the white womenthere are many still rising to distinc-tion in Africa, the latest being MissHelen Williams, of Johannesburg, thefirst woman in Africa to pass the finalexamination of the Institute of Back-ers. This is regarded as a very stifftest, only a few men ever succeeding inthe ordeal.

SOME EMANCIPATION TROUBLES.When extreme Communism comes up

against the serfdom ideals of the Bastthere are almost bound to arise newdifficulties, because of haste on the partof those who wish to reform. This dif-ficulty is actually visible at Termes, onthe borders of Afghanistan, and inCentral Asia generally. Here Sovietismis spreading, and many stories ara told,even by Soviet enthusiasts, many ofthem women, concerning the confusionthat results. These enthusiasts ascribethis to the lethargy of the East, butone can easily see now their own hasteis to blame. Ona sueh story deals witha young Asiatic, grown modern, whowished his wife to be modern, too, andspoke to his mother of unveiling andeducating her. His mother's objectionswere so strong that he decided to takehis wife to another city, but in this hisand her relatives frustrated him. Whenhis young wife, who loved him, tried toescape, she was subject to most brutaltreatment, and in the end, in order tosee her, he gave consent to a divorcemeeting, whereupon, using some oldlaw, the relative pronounced themdivorced, without the consent of either.News came to him that she was to bemarried to someone else, but her mes-sage was that she would kill herselfrather than this. The Soviet law isquite on the husband's side, but 'nobodywill trouble to proceed against thepowerful relatives. Organisations toprevent the waste of child life, and forthe assistance of mothers generally, arespringing up, but not always are theyhelpful. The Soviets seemingly fail insympathy 3 thus, when the nativewomen, set to work in the silk mills,were alarmed at the electric lights, thisfear was spoken of as "superstitiousterror," though it is certain that if anyof us had no previous knowledge oielectric lighting, we would be somewhatalarmed, and perhaps fear lire, if sud-denly the walls broke out into stronglights here and there.

SOME AUSTRALIAN WOMEN.Australian women are naturally im-

portant in dairy work, but it is onlylately that they have qualified by cer-tain examinations. For the first timein the history of the Dairy FactoryManagers' Association, (in ex-istence 50 years), a woman, Miss Brec-kenridge, gave a lecture to that bodycn a technical subject. Miss LottieBurns is the first woman to qualify forher butter grader's and testers certifi-cates. Miss Austine Marshall, of Vic-toria, is not only the youngest radiooperator in Australia, but in the world,having obtained her certificate at theage of 16.

A UNIQUE STATUE.Tie youiigest "woraa'n" to receive the

honour of a, statue must surely be Mar-jorie Fleming, who died, aged eight, inthe year 1811. She is, of course, the"Pet Marjorie" so well known to allwho have read the life of Sir WalterScott. Very inspiring did he find thesayings of his little friend, and when"Waverley" did not go well under hispen, "I'm away to have a chat withPet Marjorie."

"

The little girl seema tohave possessed literary ability thatmight well, in later years, have placedher with the immortals. "Alas, wefemales are of little use in the world,"is one of the opinions she early ex-pressed, while often is quoted one ofher "poems" on the bereavement of aturkey hen, deprived of her chicks. ThatMarjorie certainly did not suffer _ fromthe child-puritanism of the time isproved by the last couplet on her birdheroine:

Her manners were unusual calm;■She Aid not say a single damn.

The statue of the young writer wasunveiled at Kirkcaldie during May ofthis year in the presence of a largeconcourse.

KOPUARAHI INSTITUTE.

On Wednesday a meeting of theKopuarahi Women's Institute was heldat the residence of Mrs. J. F. Miller.The president, Mrs. Newsham, presided,andn Mr3. McMillan read a paper on"The Women's Institutes: What theyare and "what they are doing. Afteran interested discussion Mrs. J. Flynnsang. Afternoon tea was served, thecommittee acting as hostesses. Mrs."Newsham gave a demonstration on howto make puff pastry in fifteen minutes,the ladies with their notebooks andpencils showing the interest taken. Twodelegates were selected to represent theinstitute at the coming convention atAuckland.

The Isle of Dogs, in the lower reachesof the Thames, was so named at thetime when Greenwich was a Eoyalpalace. The kennels of the Hoyal petswere at this particular spot.

The Anglo-Saxon name for Januarywas "Wulf-monuth," wolves being thenmore in evidence through hunger andcold; later it became "Se aeftera geolo""—"The After Yule."

The first engagement rings were ofiron. Later, gold was used". They wereplain, set with one small stone. Thepresent style came from Prance in theeleventh century.

CONTROL OF BANK.

LABOUR BILL REJECTED.

PERSONNEL OF DIRECTORATE

"OUTSIDE INTERESTS."

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

WELLINGTON, Wednesday,

The Bank of New Zealand Amend-ment Bill, sponsored by Mr. P. Lang-stone (Waimarino), was considered in

Committee of the House of Representa-tives to-day.

The Hon. W. Downie Stewart (Dun-edin West) said he did not think theHouse would acquiesce in the _ restric-tions embodied in the bill. For instance,there was a restriction that not onlydirectors, but also shareholders in otherconcerns, should be debarred from beingdirectors of the bank. The otlle*clauses were too far reaching.

Mr. Langstone said there was wide-spread dissatisfaction with the way in

which the bank was being conducted.He believed drastic alterations shouldbo made at a time like the present, whenfinance Avas of such vital concern.

The Acting Prime Minister, the Hon.E. A. Ransom, said the Government wasunable to give its support to the mea-sure. "While it was admitted thatdirectors of the bank should so far aspossible be untrammelled by outsideinterests, unless men had occupied out-side commercial positions it would bedifficult to ascertain what were theirQualifications for appointment to theboard of the bank. It was consideredthat the Government had adequaterepresentation on the directorate.

The Hon. W. A. Veitch said he didnot desire to defend the legislation ofthe past. The Government at one timehad owned one half the shares in thebank, but now it owned only one third.He believed there was need for con-sideration of the whole question of thecurrency in New Zealand, but the billdid not touch the fringe of a problemthat was of vital importance in thiscountry and in Australia.

Mr. M. J. Savage (Auckland West)said the people of New Zealand wouldsome day insist on the banking businessbeing conducted on the same lines asthe Post and Telegraph Department. Itwas a public service. Mr. Langstone'sbill was the first' step towards thatend.

Mr. Langstone said there was no sharecapital in the Savings Bank or in PostOffices. It should bo possible to obtainmen of the necessary experience fromthose quarters to be appointed to theboard of the bank.

The bill was defeated in a division inthe short title, by 37 votes to 27.

RESULT NOT REPORTED.

LABOUR MEMBERS CURIOUS.

RULING BY THE SPEAKER.

(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)WELLINGTON, Wednesday.

There was an interesting sequel inthe House to-night to the "killing," incommittee, of the Bank of New ZealandAmendment Bill, sponsored by Mr. F.Langstone (Waimarino). It had beenpointed out in the debate that Mr. Lang-stone had been fortunate in getting hismeasure as far as the committee stage,and although the defeat of the bill wasregarded as a foregone conclusion, the■short title was rejected by a margin ofonly ten rotes, several United membersvoting with the Labour party againstReform and the remainder of the Gov-ernment group.

Repotting to the House later on an-other measure that Md gone throughcommittee, Mr. W. A. Bodkin, Chairmanlof Committees, gave no indication ofwhat had happened to Mr. Langstone'sbill, and this prompted Mr. E. J. Howard(Christchurch S,outh) to rise to a pointof order..

"What has happened to the other bill?"he asked. "You have not had any reportabout that."

Mr. Speaker: I am afraid the hon.member is asking me a question I can-not answer. lam not supposed toknow what takes place in committee.

The Right Hon. J. G. Coates: It waswashed overboard.

Mr. He ward (to Mr. Speaker): Indefence of the House and yourself, sir,I demand that the committee shall reportwhat has .been done in committee.

Labour members: Hear, hear.Mr. Speaker: No report is given if a

bill is thrown out.Mr. J. McCombs (Lyttelton): But this

DEATH OF BULLOCK.

WHAITGAREI CLAIM FAILS.

NOT DUB TO FESCUE GRASS.

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

WHANGAREI, Wednesday.The suggestion that bullocks, after

eating fescue grass become giddy, wasimplied in a civil action in the Wha-ngarei Magistrate's- Court, when HarryCecil Hartnell claimed £1G from W. H.Tomlinson, of Muriwai.

Two days after plaintiff hired 18 bul-locks to defendant, it was stated, oneanimal died as the result of beingcrushed- against a strainer post. Plain-tiff claimed that the driver, who wasnew to the team, irritated the bullocksby; the application of his whip.

The driver, who was called to giveevidence for the plaintiff, said lie usedevery possible precaution, and the spanwas crawling along Avhen the accidentoccurred.

Hartnell was nonsuited, with costs.

WILHELM BACKHAUS.

"He is one of the great ones of theworld, and we honour ourselves in hon-ouring him," wrote the critic of the"Otago Daily Times," in his notice ofWilhelm Backhaus' opening concert inDunedin, and throughout the entire tourthis apparently is the general opinion,for capacity houses have greeted thepianist everywhere. To-right Mr. Back-haus will give a special farewell con-cert at the Town Hall, prior to his de-parture to-morrow for Australia andEurope. Thus Auckland will have thedistinction of being the first city in theDominion to welcome the famous pianistand Jie last one to wish him farewell.

AMUSEMENTS."THIS MAD WORLD."

A unique production is to be presentedat the Regent Theatre to-morrow, whenthe current programme will be changedfor "This Mad World," which is said toresemble a stage play -more closely thanany drama yet adapted for screen pur-poses. The cast is the smallest on re-,

cord, consisting of five persons, while itsunusual time element limits the actionof the play to the hours between fouro'clock one afternoon and ten of thefollowing morning. The play is basedon an emotional crisis brought about asthe result of a meeting between a Frenchwar spy and the wife of a Germangeneral who is billeted in the home ofthe spy's mother on German occupiedterritory. When Victoria, the general'swife, played by Kay Johnson, discoversPaul Parisot (Basil Rathbone) to be inthe employ of the French Secret Serviceshe determines to reveal her identity.Paul believes he will have to put her outof the way in order to carry out hisplans, and follows her as she leaves thehouse. He lures her to a ruined chateauwith the intention of committing mur-der, but Fate takes a hand, and Paulfalls in love with his intended victim.From then on the story deals with thetragic conflict between love and patriot-ism, and concludes with an unexpectedclimax. Kay Johnson was

<seen in

"Dynamite" and "The Ship fromShanghai."

ST. JAMES THEATRE.All the charm of the old "Sally" has

been presei*ved, in the musical comedyat St. James' Theatre, but everything ison a vaster scale,but not so vast as tolose the human values of the charmingstory. Marilyn Miller was born formusical comedy. Her _ singing, herdancing, the scenes in which she revealsher delightful gifts as a comedienne, herlove scenes with

_

Alexander Gray alldemonstrated this—She is a classby herself. And one recalls AlexanderGray, the handsome young leading man,who was recently seen in the screenversion of "No, No, Nanette." Also JoeE. Brown; and the inimitable Pert Kel-ton; T. Roy Barnes, as the peppytheatrical agent; and Ford Sterling,Jack Duffy, Maude Turner Gordon, E.J. Radcliffe, and Nora Lane —and dozensof others. To sum it all up, "Sally"marks an epoch in the history of theaudible screen.

CRYSTAL PALACE.Ronald. Colman is the featured player

in "Condemned" the main attraction atthe Crystal Palace Theatre, Mount Eden.The story is thrilling, the photographyexcellent and the acting far above theordinary. The story deals with life inFrance's convict settlement on Devil'sIsland and a tender love romance iscleverly interwoven.. There are manythrills and the interest is held through-out.

PLAZA THEATRE."The Divine Lady" will be screened

for the last time at the Plaza Theatreto-day and will be replaced to-morrowby "Ladies Love Brutes," transferredfrom the Civic Theatre. In this pictureGeorge Bancroft is the leading actor.The story is well told and the manythrills keep the audience in suspense.There will be an excellent supportingprogramme.

STRAND THEATRE.A double feature programme will be

presented at the Strand Theatre to-morrow. The headline attraction, "TheBenson Murder Case" should provethrilling enough to satisfy all lovers ofmystery. In this story the famous VanDine sleuth has a baffling, intriguingand exciting task. William Powell againplays the role he made famous in "TheCanary Murder Case" and "The GreeneMurder Case." This time he has an evenmore thrilling task. Eugene Palletteas Sergeant Meath again blunders hisway through a maze of misleading olues.Powell as Philo Vance furnishes thesolution and in doing it provides plentyof good entertainment. . "Crazy ThatWay" the second feature, represents afew pages from the book of the idlerich. Joan Bennett and Kenneth Mac-Kenna are the leading players. Thestory deals with the younger "400" andtheir peculiar ideas of courtship, loveand marriage. Miss Bennett is thequeen bee of the social colony with ad-mirers a-plenty, and how she cajoles,misleads- and makes them misunder-stand her forms the basic theme of asparkling little comedy, finely enactedand splendidly staged.

NATIONAL THEATRE.One of the first all-talking productions

to be filmed on location entirely out oldoors is "Hell Harbour," a romanticdrama starring Lupe Velez, which re-places "Journey's End" at the NationalTheatre on Saturday. The picture wassuggested by Rita Johnson Young'snovel, "Out of the Night," and is thework of Henry King, director of "TheWhite Sister" and "Stella Dallas.""Hell Harbour" is said to offer LupeVelez the greatest opportunity of herscreen career, presenting her in the partof a high spirited young modern, a des-cendant of the' great pirato chief, SirHenry Morgan. Around this theme isdeveloped a story rich in incident, loca:colour and tense drama. There are thethrilling fight in the honky-tonk betweenMorgan and Wade, the death battle be-tween Morgan and Horngold and thestrange life that, is to be found underthe Caribbean moon. Filmed in Tampa,Florida, amidst natural tropical settings,"Hell Harbour" has one of the mostljeautiful backgrounds ever used for apicture. The entire production wasfilmed in this locale; there is.not astudio shot in the picture. The cast of"Hell Harbour" includes beside LupeVelez and Jean Hersholt, John Hollandand Gibson Gowland.

ROXY THEATRE.So well has the double feature British

programme been received at the Roxy.Theatre, the season has had to be ex-tended. The main attraction is "Har-mony Heaven" with London's famousvaudeville artist Polly "Yard in theleading role. This picture is Britain'sfirst attempt at technicolour and it isexcellently produced. The blurr that isso familiar in Hollywood productionsis absent and this is quite an achieve-ment. "The Hate Ship" is the secondfeature. It is a sea story with a uniqueplot. The acting is good and thephotography fine. The whole pro-gramme is a credit to British industry.

LIMERICK nsr SYDNEY.

DONE REMARKABLY WELL.

Limerick did not start at Rosehill onSaturday, but the following comment bythe "Herald" of Friday is interesting:—If Limerick runs in the Dimdas Handi-cap at Rosehill to-morrow, it will be nis

first race since September of last yearand the first time that he "has run in ahandicap since he won the King s Cupat Randwick, when he_ completed-* asequence of nine successive wino as afour-year-old. Handicap events have heldlittle attraction for the stable> sinceLimerick was a two-year-old. He madehis debut in Australia by winning theCarlingford Mile Handicap at Rosehill mthe spring of his tliree-year-old career,but since then—and he is now a seven-year-old—he has run once in the Mel-bourne Cup, once in the Sydney Cup,once in the Metropolitan, and in theKing's Cup. There has not before beenany doubt as to his fitness to run atweight-for-age at his first attempt aftera respite. Each season it has been t,heWarwick Stakes in which he wassaddled up for the first time in thespring, and the Rawson Stakes in theautumn, and he won the Warwick Stakeson the three occasions. This time, ho'w -

ever, different conditions obtain. Lime-rick returned to the Dominion afterbis last trip a "doubtful" horse. So farin his preparation he has done remark-ably well, but it is patent that histrainer, F. D. Jones, requires somethingmore definite of him before starting thegelding against the best of the season sborses, and for this purpose, if condi-tions be favourable, Limerick may beat the post to-morrow. Sportsmen, whileinterested to find the gelding an ac-ceptor, refuse to consider him in therace so far as the double for the dayis concerned. In discussions yesterdayhis name did not find a place on mostof the lists.

NOTES FROM RICCARTON

THE CHOKEBORE TEAM.

BABEL SHAPING- WELL.

H. DONOVAN'S HORSES IN GOODORDER,

(By Telegraph.—'Special to "Star.")

CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday.The three-year-old Craigavon, who was

one of the team that F. D. Jones tookto Sydney, arrived home to-day.

Quantum, who has done all his racingfor the Trentham trainer J. W. Lowe,arrived at Riccarton this morning.

Haze gave a good exhibition in aschool over three hurdles at Riccartonthis morning.

Thurina, who is booked to race at theOtago Hunt Club's meeting, jumped fourhurdles at Riccarton this morning ingood style.

After Ten and Huntley were associatedin a school over at Riccartonthis morning, their task being twice overthe two flights up the back. It wasHuntley's first effort over the big ob-stacles, and he shaped well, while AfterTen, as usual, gave an attractive dis-play.

Licluded in the team which CuttsBrothers have in training are severalmaiden three-year-olds, among whomBabel is shaping well. She is by TheAce from Scrimmage, so that she is asister to Disorder, who at one stage ofher brief career showed a good deal ofpromise. Babel has done no racing, butthere is no doubt that she is a smartgalloper, and if she trains on all rightshe should win before the season is faradvanced.

The two-year-old filly Knoeklong, byHunting Song from Knocklynn, lias beenattracting a good deal of attention inher recent "work on the Riccarton tracks.Although small, she has the gift of gal-loping, and she has more than held herown in sprinting tasks no matter whatmate she has gone with. Judged on herefforts to date Knoeklong appears tohave excellent prospects of earning dis-tinction in early two-year-old events.

H. Donovan has five horses in activecommission at present, and they are innice order to start the season's racing.Sapient, Audience and Appeal will henominated at Ashhurton, where theyshould show upprominently, while Toperewill have to he reckoned with at Geral-dine. The remaining member of theteam i 3 Trek, a three-year-old by Sol-ferino from Marsa, tho" dam of Night-march. She had three races last seasonwithout being in the money, but she islikely to show improved form later on.

LUCK CHANGES.

TREGELLA HAS A WIN.

THREE-YEAR-OLD HANDICAP.

Two New King March andBayacre, were the mediums of heavysupport in the second division of theThree-Year-Old Handicap, at llosehill onAugust 16 (says a Sydney writer), butthey had to lower their colours to alocal, Tregilla, who gave his owner-trainer, C. O. Battye, a welcome changeof luck.

King March, a member of J. T. Jamie-son's team, and Bayacre, from A D.Webster's stable, had each won at theirprevious starts, but King March wasalways favourite for yesterday'srace.

He had backers for £400, and '£200from J. Molloy; £200 from A. J. Mat-thews, and £100 and £125 from S.Baker; while bets noted against Bayacreincluded £1400, and £400 from J.Molloy; £1500 from J. T. Hackett, and£800 from A. J. Matthews.

The support for the visitors, however,did not scare the party behind Tregilla,whose price firmed, and some substantialbets were landed as a result of hissuccess.

Bayacre and Psalmist made most ofthe pace, but Tregilla, who had movedup fast approaching the straight-entrance, was in front a furlong fromhome, and the result was not in doubtsubsequently. He won easily from Bay-acre and King March, and his time, 1.26was a second and a half faster than thatrecorded by Frontier in the first division.

C. O. Battye, who trains his horses atWarwick Farm, was right out of lucklast season. He did not saddle a winnerin the metropolitan area, and his successwith Tregilla yesterday was not out ofits turn. Tregilla is a chestnut colt byTreclare from Maltgilla (winner of anA.J.C. Challenge Stakes), and was pur-chased as a yearling by W. Tindall for175 guineas Tindall leased him toBattye, but after the former had metwith the displeasure of the stipendiarystewards, he sold the colt to the War-wick Farm trainer.

A good portion of "the winnings onCrown Area was played up on Don Moonin the Flying mile at Rosehill on August16 (says a Sydney writer), for whichthe veteran started favourite. Alwayswell placed, he was only slightly behindthe pacemakers, Wangoola and Marshonentering the straight, but had to beridden right out to beat the heavilybacked New Zealand mare Eaglet by ashort neck. Eaglet looked dangerousa furlong from home, but Don Moonwas solid for her at the finish,while Roley cut Waugoola out of thirdplace. Each of the place-getters ise'ngaged in the Epsom, in which DonMoon and Eaglet drop 21b, and Roley41b. Waugoola goes down 31b. DonMoon is now in his ninth year, but agelias 'not impaired his galloping ability.Winner of the Challenge Stakes atDoncaster, his earnings now total£10,022 10/, of which the sum of£1315 has been won since he was pre-sented to Booth by Mr. O. R. Falkiner.Don Moon, like Crown Area, who alsowon, was piloted by E. Bartle.

A PROMISING 'CHASER,

Alandate had some experience overhurdles in the 1925-29 season, but lie didnot start again till the recent Mana-watu winter meeting, when he ran thirdin the Kiwitea Hunters' Hurldes toPikimai and Jiu Jazz, and on the secondday was a good second to Powhiri inthe Flaxbourne Hunters' Steeplechase.That was his first appearance over thebi o, country and he jumped well through-out On that showing he looked to havea n-'ood chance in the Dannevirke HackSteeplechase yesterday, and he duly won.This horse was accepted for at the Paku-

Hunt meeting last Saturday, butnot brought up for the fixture. If

he had been, he would have been veryhard to beat in jumping events. Man-

date should be seen to further advantageover country.

PHAR LAP'S ESCAPE.ACCIDENT NARROWLY

AVERTED.

FULL MEASURE NEARLY COLLIDESWITH HTM.

At Randwick on Saturday morning,August 16, Phar Lap narrowly escapedinjury. The champion had just con-cluded a five-furlong gallop with Audaon the B grass track. He was notallowed to go at his top, and afterpassing the "winning post-"' was stillfighting for his head. His rider foundit difficult to pull him up, and the chest-nut lugged out toward the outer railpast the seven-furlong post, which isonly about 70 yards past the "winningpost." Just at that moment Full Mea-sure and Balloon King, who had tra-velled at an even time gait for threefurlongs, were accumulating pace, whenFull Measure, on the outside, was ontop of Phar Lap before hi s rider noticedthe big chestnut. An accident appearedinevitable, but Pull Measure, with theinstinct of the thoroughbred, veered on

the inside of the champion, andmissed him by a fraction of an inch.Had the horses collided, the Derbv coltBalloon King might have been broughtdown also,

The Lucullus filly Art Gallery hasmade good progress since coming toEllerslie and will soon be ready to race.Her dam, Picture, is by St. Amans fromShower Gold, the latter being the dam ofGold Rain and King Lu.

Derry Belle, who won a division of theTiratu Stakes at Dannevirke, is ownedby a King Country sportsman, and is afour-year-old filly by Mountain Knightfrom Mystical Rose. She had previouslyshown speed in her races, and now thatshe has succeeded in reaching the win-ning list further successes should comeher way.

During the past month Tambourinehas improved in condition considerablyand the Lucullus filly should be ready torace at some of the afpproaching meet-ings. Although she only won one racelast season Tambourine showed up pro-minently in several of the events thatshe contested and she may do a lotbetter this season.

Spring Song, by Nigger Minstrel fromKitty Barlowe, has done well during theshort time she has been in work at head-quarters. She is a sturdily built filly,but as she was only raced once lastseason there was little opportunity togauge her future prospects. However,she is a likely looking sort and is alsobred the right way to make a successfulgalloper.

Call Again, who scored in the Glen-garry Hack Hurdles at Dannevirke yes-terday, is - by Callaghan, an importedhoree, who raced in Mr. W. Higgins'colours. Call Again showed ability overhurdles last season, winning the HackHurdles at Foxton and being placed onother occasions. This was his first racesince he ran on the same course inFebruary last.

Courageous, who finished second toShrewd in the Neagle Handicap at Dan-nevirke yesterday, won this race last«ar, but was placedsecond o\ving to inter-ference the second horse. Heshowed a lecurn to form at the Mana-watu meeting recently, by winning theTerrace Handicap, one mile and aquarter, which is his first success fora long time. He is entered for the NewZealand Cup.

Mirabilary, who acted as runner-up toCall Again in the Glengarry Hurdles, atDannevirke, is trained by F. Davis atWoodville. She is a grey mare by Mirafrom Adroit, by Feild Battery from Trix.Mira, the sire of Mirabilary, was bySoult from Tauhei, and won numerousraces, including the Wellington- AutumnHandicap, also the St. Andrew's Handi-cap, at Feilding. He was bred by Mr.F. Hall, of Gisborne.

Ta rail to only started four times lastseason for a win and a second. He wasrunner-up to Lordlike at Hastings lastmonth, and later wen the GreenmeadowsHandicap, five furlongs, at Napier Park.In his first start this season, the MilsonHandicap, five furlongs, at the Mana-watu meeting he was top weight with10.G and' finished fourth. His next startwas yesterday, when he accounted forthe Umutaoroa Handicap, six furlongs,at Dannevirke. Taranto is by KingMark from Martina.

Shrewd has commenced the new sea-eon well, having won both races thathe has so far contested. Early lastseason he proved equal to winning twicein his first three starts, but subsequentlylost form and was only once in a placeout of nineteen starts. He is trained byV. Colello, at Hastings, and is a six-year-old gelding by King Mark fromChancery. Shrewd figures in the entriesfor the New Zealand Cup, to be run atEiccarton in November.

Akbar, who ran second in the Danne-virke Steeplechase, is owned by Mr. F.R. Waller, of Foston, and is a stablemate of Aurora Borealis. He is an agedgelding by Manchineel, but sa far haslittle to his credit.

Taneriri is steadily improving in con-dition, but so far his tasks have notbeen very strenuous. H. Rama is nothurrying the Antagonist gelding, who, ifcapable of regaining his last season'sform, will win further races.

Trojan Melody, who won at Danne-virke yesterday, is a three-year-old sonof Hunting Song and St. Helen. He con-tested two races last season, his besteffort being a third in the WaikanaeHack Scurry at the Otaki meeting inJune.

Lady Rene, who finished second toTaranto in the Umutaoroa Handicap atDannevirke yesterday, is a four-year-oldfilly by Acre from Rene. The last-named, who was a good performer in herday, also produced the well-known horsesArpent, Cerf and Printemps.

Sub-editor ran a fair race in the SylviaPark Handicap at the Pakuranga meet-ing and looks all the better for the out-ing. He will be started in a minor eventon the first day of the Avondale meet-ing, and on the second day will take hisplace in the field for the AvondaleGuineas.

Kairuri is due to start work again atEllerslie under W. Patterson's care earlynext week. Last season the son ofSurveyor showed fair promise as ahurdler, and he will most likely do hisfuture racing in that department. He isnow a five-year-old, and should have agood future ahead of him.

J. Chisholm has brought Spring Abbeyin again after a few months' spell inthe paddock and will prepare him forfuture racing. The Quin Abbey geldingwon a nine-furlong race at the Takapunaspring meeting last November, and laterin the season dead-heated with Te Hoiafor first place in the Champion HackCup, at Te Aroha. He also ran a dead-heat with Motere in the Onewhero Han-dicap, nine furlongs, at the Franklinmeeting. He is now in his fifth year, andshould have good prospects around thecountry meetings.

TROTTINGNOTES FROM ADDINGTON

WHITE STRANGER WELL.

TODD LONZIA IMPROVING,

WAH IN STEADY WORK.

(By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.")

CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday.

The race track at Addington has beenreceiving a lot of attention since the

recent meeting. It is now being wellharrowed, and should be in first-classcondition for work next week.

C. Hammond, who leased Erin's Lynn,,has now made a start on her half-sisterby Brent Locanda. This filly, CoraLocanda, has not had much fast work,but is looking well.

.

Achray bears a well-trained appear-ance, and is pacing freely in his trainingwork. He promises to race in improvedform this season.

R.. Hart had. Whit© Stranger atAddington on Tuesday and gave him auseful work-out over a little further

than a mile and a quarter. The DenverHuon pacer looks well.

A. Cox Is keeping the_ young trotterTodd Lonzia going steadily in training.He is furnishing into a commandinghorse and should show up well when

Prince, who raced so well atthe August meeting, is still at Adding-ton under D. Bennett's charge. He mayreturn to Auckland to be raced at themeeting there early in October, but ifall goes well with him he will be a com-petitor at Addington in November.

The young trotter by Guy Parrishfrom Rose Peters continues to pleasetrack watchers at Addington by themanner in which she does her trainingwork.

J. J. Kennerley has sent the pacerGrey, Cloud back to his owner. Thesprinter will probably be 'trained infuture by W. Doyle.

J. Wright is working a useful-lookingpacer by Logan Pointer from the dam ofthe trotter Engagement.

Willie Derby is again in steady workafter a spell. It looks as though it willbe some time before he is ready to race.

Wah is doing, steady -work, but up tothe present he has not been asked to goat any speed in his training. He hasfurnished a good deal during his longspell, and now seem 3 very quiet whenworking.

There is a rumour that Moko Bells isa possibility in the slow trots at the

* meeting. This trotter had only onestart last season and did not gain aplace, but he may have improved con-siderably 6ince then.

H. Garnett will have three battlingfor him at the meeting. Great Delightis engaged in the big raca each day, buthis form last season was not encourag-ing and he will have to improve con-siderably upon what he has shown to winon Saturday.

Oekley Wood is likely to be one ofthe strong tips for the slow trot onSaturday, but the mare may not be agood thing by a long way. When goingat little more than half-pace yesterdayshe mixed her gait twice, and this is hotencouraging.

Grand Light, who went 4.26 to getthird at Addington, is the ruling fav-ourite for the Auckland Handicap. Theeon of Matchlight is at the top of hisform and his appearance inspires con-fidence. Next to J. Bryce's pacer, thechances of Enawah and Warplane areheld in most esteem.

The sale of Sunshower to Mr. W.Walker is reported. Stmshower wasowned by Mr. D.' R. Kevell and regis-tered several fine performances, butfailed occasionally when expected to bein the money. ■ She should be a goodsort to have in Auckland, where thereare not many good ones about.

W. Tomkinson is always to bereckoned with when he brings horses toan Auckland meeting. This time he ishere with John Mauritius, Country Kingand Surprise Journey. All are nicelyplaced in the handicaps and betweenthem they should at least get enough topay expenses before returning South.

If the track is soft and there is everylikelihood that it will be, John_ Mauri-tius may be capable of winning thebig race on Saturday. As a rule, trottersdo not fare well when opposed to pacere,but on a heavy track there is not thesame speed set and a good stayer and astraightout trotter will invariably beatpacers over the last furlong or so.

Matters are well in train for the open-ing of the unemployment relief meet-ing at Alexandra Park on Saturday. Atthe moment the weather conditions arefar from promising, and even though therain clears off for race day the trackis certain to be slow. Most of ! thelocally-trained horses are..well forwardto fulfil their engagements and with anumber of visitors competing the racingpromises to be very interesting.

Mr. G. Youngson, who arrived thisweek from England with the stallions,Frank Dewey and Wellington Direct,attended two trotting meetings at Man-chester while lie was at Home. He saysthe sport is in a very bad way thereand horses are racing for almost nothing.One horse won eleven races and all heearned in prize-money was £120. Thepublic do not bother to attend and be-tween 500 and 600 people are to beseen watching the races.

POLLARD CUP MATCH FORFEIT

SATURDAY'S FIXTURES.

The Management Committee of theAuckland Rugby Union, which metlast night, decided not to accept theCollege° Rifles Club's explanation con-cerning Pickering's playing in_a PollardCup match when he was required as anemergency for the Auckland representa-tive °teaiu at Eden Park. The matchlias been awarded to Manukau, whomCollege Rifles defeated.

In explanation of their using Picker-ing for the match, the College RiflesClub stated, that though realising tliepossible consequences of their breach,the club had considerable difficulty infielding a team for the match, sincethree players were required for therepresentative match.

It was decided that junior players,taking part in the Pollard Cup competi-tion, would not be classed as ]uniors,thus removing the necessity of suchplayers being regraded. -

The committee were advised by theNew Zealand Union that the reinstate-ments of E. Arnold, C. R. Burgess, andJ. L. Coote had been confirmed.

The managers appointed for the Auck-land team for the match againstWaikato on Saturday are Messrs. A.Tilly and R. Cooper.

The names of Messrs. F. E. Suther-land and C. F.Paull and M. Kronfeld-was submitted as referees for theAuckland match.

LEAGUE FOOTBALL.

LETTERS FROM NORTHLAND.

SUGGESTED MOTOR CYCLEMATCH.

OTAHUHU BENEFIT GAME,

The Auckland Rugby League lastevening adopted a recommendation fromthe Advisory Committee that theNorthland League, which wrote regard-ing the possibility of a junior rep.match in Auckland against a Ponsonbythird grade team, be advised that thePonsonby Club might, be prepared tobillet the visitors, but the Auckland[League was not prepared to grant a per-centage of the gate to the NorthlandLeague.

Tho New Zealand League reportedthat the City Club's appeal againstDevonport for playing Simons recentlywas dismissed under rules 39 and 40 ofthe constitution.

A letter from the Northland Leaguestated that tlie proposal for a returnmatch at Auckland against South Auck-land was abandoned, as the competitionsin North Auckland were now at thesemi-final stage of the knock-out. Thedate at which Carlaw Park would beavailable was too late. Therefore, theNorthland League asked that a teamrepresenting the senior clubs' knockedout in the first game of the RoopeRooster play at Whangarei on the fol-lowing Saturday. This would be a fillipto the code, as the North Auckland publichad seen very little first-class footballthis season. It was decided to send acopy of the letter to Auckland clubs.

A motor cycle curtain-raiser was sug-gested by tho Sports' Motor Cycle Club(Inc.) between the . club applying andthe North Shore Cycle Club, the teamsto consist of seven riders. It was de-cided to hold over the matter for. con-sideration, and in the meantime toinquire about a suitable trophy.

Mr. Lippiatt drew attention to theserious indisposition of Mr. W. McManusand the circumstances of his family atOtahuhu. It was decided to referarrangements for a special benefit matchJo a committee consisting of Messrs. T.Gregory, W. J. Davidson, Lippiatt andAdamson. The game is to be staged atSturgess Park in three weeks. Besidesbeing an ardent supporter of Leaguefootball, Mr. MacManus will be wellremembered as one of New Zealand'smost prominent runners years ago.

WEDNESDAY COMPETITION.

SUCCESSFUL INAUGURATION.

The mid-week competition conductedunder the auspices of the Auckland RugbyLeague for a special shield, was startedyesterday at Carlaw Park. A good dealof enthusiasm was shown by the teamsand keen contests are anticipated as thecompetition advances. It was evident thatsome of the players were untrained andothers displayed a lack of knowledge otthe game that introduced an element otcomedy, especially in the contcsc on themain area. The only field accident was ahead injury to Boyle, of the private taxisteam. He was removed to the hospital inan unconscious condition.

On No. 1 ground barmen (blue and white)had a comfortable win over Chess taxis by14 points to 0. The winners attacked atthe start for ten minutes, after which thetaxi men took a turn, but were more lack-ing in combination. Aided by good play byEllis and Doonan, Harris,'on the wing forthe hotel representatives, spurted acrossnear the corner. Gordon missed the goal.After the interval, the greater weight ofthe blues told its tale and tries were addedby Hudson, Lunn and Gordon, Donald con-verting one. .

A much more impressive standard ofplay was presented on the No. 2 ground,where the trotting trainers defeated theprivate taxis by 26 points to 10. Therewere many good fast movements. Clarke(Marist) and W. Skelton (Ponsonb.v) werein the ranks of the losers, and Prenticeand P. Herring (Richmond) were promi-nent of the winners' backs. At half-timethe trotters had a lead of 15 points. Trieswere scored by Prentice and Mills (2), A.Herring and Morrison, P. Herring kicking

four goals. For the losers, L. Ferguson andSkelton scored, Clarke converting one andSkelton kicking a penalty. '

The curtain-raiser on No. 1 ground be-tween the Devonport and Ponsonby school-boys was won by the Shore team by 30points to 0.

AMATEUR ATHLETICS.

AUCKLAND CLUB.

Last Saturday at the Domain the Auck-land Amateur Athletic and Cycle Club heldanother of its series of competitions forthe cross-country season. The track wasin excellent condition, while the atmos-pheric conditions were ideal for racing.Largo fields lined up in each of the events,before a l'air crowd of spectators. Owingto the ideal state of the track the timesregistered were exceptionally, fast. Afterthe programme was over the i>resident ofthe club, Mr. W. Morton, stated that asthe hot weather was approaching, thesteeplechases in future would be run over amilo and a half.

,,

The sprint event, which attracted aboutthirty competitors, was run in three heats,and then the final. The winners of the heatswere Messrs. Green, Roper and Wheeler, thetime for each heat beinf 7 4-ss. Amongthose prominent filling the minor placeswere Messrs. McNeil, Willey and Henry. Asthe time for each heat was the same thefinal was expected to prove a stirring finish.After the nine finalists had got the word"get ready" the pistol misfired, and upontesting it came a loud report, with theresult that one of the competitors racedup the field. He was soon stopped on hissolo sprint, and once again resumed lasmark. After a good start the field got awayand Green, taking advantage of his handi-cap, breasted the tape ahead of Wheeler,who was inches ahead of the scratch man,Roper.

~ ,

The three-mile steeplechase, which washeld over the Inner Domain, including threetimes over the hill, proved a triumph forH. Clarke, the limit man, who was neverheaded. There are very rew men over 50who can run three miles, apart from win-ning a race over the same distance.-. He andMcNeil, running alongside one another, setup a fine pace, and had a large gap betweenthem and the next man. Browne, who wasthird, set out to reduce the gap, making

his own pace, but unfortunately he left thisa little late.

,

The New Zealand Cross-country Cham-pionship will be held at the WellingtonCentre on Saturday, August 30. The teamnominated to represent Auckland areMessrs. Browne, Nicholson, Cooper, Barker,and Montgomery. The team will greatlyfeel the loss of the peerless Savidan, whowould undoubtedly win the race. On thewhole the team is not as good as we shouldlike to send, but we wish them the be3tof luck. ,

~

N. F. Cooper, who annexed the AucklandCross-country Championship, is very for-tunate at being at the top of his form,and should most certainly be a credit tohis province. In 192G lie "was third manof the Auckland team, which competed in

tho New Zealand Cross-country Champion-ship, held at C'hristchurch. On his presentform he should be one of the placed men.

A. B. Browne is now not quite up totho form which he displayed earlier in theseason, but as. he is taking things easy hemay cause a surprise. It will be rememberedthat he is the ex-Grammar champion, andstill holds the Mount Albert GrammarSchool record. ,

,J. Nicholson is a veteran runner, andby the way he ran in the Auckland cham-pionship he is better than many who areyears his junior. Ho has had years of experi-ence, and knows exactly what to do attho right moment. He should finish wellup, and gain some team's points for theprovince.

L. C. Barker finished fourth in theAuckland championship race at Ellerslie,and is at present running at the top ofhis form. He has gained local representa-tion in the past; and_ has had experiencein championship running.

T. Montgomery finished second to I.Nicholson at Ellerslie, and caused _ some-what of a surprise. He is exceptionallyfast up the straight, and should get someteam's points if ho will run all out.

Tho Auckland team will leave for Wel-lington this evening, and friends wishingto see them off may do so at the Auck-land railwny station. On account of thechampionship no sports will be held nextSaturday.

BOWLING.

MOUNT ALBERT TOURNEY.

A pairs tournament was held by theMount Albert Bowling Club on Wednesday.It resulted in a win for Buxton and Stewart(Carton). The runners-up were Oram andOugliton (Rocky Nook). Sixteen pairs com-peted. The club will hold a full-rink tour-nament on September 10.

THE CLUB EVENTS.

gOMS CHAMPIONSHIP BOUNDS

(By "RUBBERCORE.")

There was particular merit attaching!to V. W. Wells' score in the final roundof the 72 holes medal at Middlemore, ashe was faced with no ordinary task todisplace R. B. Wilson, who already hadthree excellent cards in the event. WellsJias vindicated the good opinions ex-pressed of his prowess and promises to bea formidable opponent in the club cham-pionship. J. McK. Wilson, who alsoperformed conspicuously in the competi-tion, ruined his chances with doublefionres at the long ninth in the lastround. It was a story of from bunkerto bunker. R. B. Wilson can perhaps beaccounted a little unlucky as his bid forsuccess had the stamp of merit. Par-ticularly fine was his recovery of theprevious week, when following a disas-trous outward half he recovered with agrand 35 homeward. Trevor Brett's boldbid after only fair opening scores wasalso meritorious and he seems destined tooccupy a much higher ranking beforelon" 1. Certainly, he made no race of theGeorge Cup, his gross S3 from the 15

mark evidencing ability far in advance ofhandicap. Reviewing the whole, the taskget the low markers was difficult indeed,and throws into relief the excellence of

Wells' golf.Titirangi Title.

Owing to the absence at Rotorua ofseveral of the qualified, few matches wereplayed in the senior championship atTitirangi. Perhaps the most unlookedfor win was that of C. G. Fisher overB. 0. Gardner, which again exemplifiesthe glorious uncertainty. Fisher, how-ever, is playing well and recently wonthe club's main match play event, theTaylor Bowl. A. M. Goulding alsoclaimed notoriety in soundly beating J.

Murray. It will be remembered, however,that Goulding played some fine golf inthe qualifying rounds. Matches in thejunior championship can be dismissedwith the observation that the resultswere much as anticipated. So far as thebogey is concerned it may be added thatif any player lias been dissatisfied with,his game recently, it is A. V. Peace. His5 up should serve to silence his appealto the handicap'per, unless in the_ direc-tion of deduction. On reflection, 5 up> is

the best bogey score returned at Titi-rangi this year. In the junior champion-ship at One Tree Hill, the surprise defec-tion was P. Wiseman, whose gamegenerally can be relied on. F. JTewellsmargin over D. R. Garrard is also worthyof mention.

Ohlson Defeats Howden.The Waiuku championship showed a

return to form on the part of A. vy. M.Ohlson, who on the day demonstrated adistinct superiority over C. E. Howden.The only stage at which Howden gaineda grip of the game was in the middleof the second round, where he rallied,to win four holes in a row. Perhaps theforegoing appears ambiguous. There wasno fight, and it is, perhaps, more deli-cately expressed as four holes on end.Ohlson, however, sensed the danger, andholing his chip shot at the short hole,finished the match. Ohlson's win is, per-haps, a little remarkable,as by no stretchof imagination has his form for sometime been comparable to Howden s. Itis only during the last month that hehas recovered his game. At least, thetime was most opportune. Ohlson wa,s

much too solid in the morning round,when he gained a lead of seven holes,which spelled the end.

Pupiike Championship.MacKenzie signalled his return to the

game by soundly defeating W. Oliver inthe first round of the Pupuke champion-ship. M. E. Thompson and Minogue,who, with MacKenzie, seem the likelytrio for the title, also comfortably wontheir games, and it appears likely thatThompson, the title-holder, will meetMackenzie in the top half of the draw.The issue, however, is still very open,and so far as Thompson is concerned lie

can be depended upon to fight strenu-ously before admitting defeat. He is

playing well at the moment. One noticesalso that S. W. H. Chambers still holdsa place. I seem to remember havingpartnered him in the qualifying roundsof the provincial championship of 191 >

which, I think, was tbe initial contestfor the title. Old Auckland club mem-bers will remember that the late JnnSharland met Sloan Morpeth in the final,when the Waihi lad had an easy win. >

Otahuhu and Hamilton.Croxson played a line round ill the

favona championship to recover thestrokes on W. B. Eustace and tie forfirst place on the list of qualified. With,

ilenzies as next of mention, the trio areto be congratulated in being under SOeach round. H. J. Levy seems the onlyother likely candidate for the champion-ship, but scored so poorly in the secondround as to suggest his form 13 not whatit was. LoganT who won the medal, wastest of the juniors,hut in several recentrounds Bisgs has scored so well as tosu?gest he will be a likely contender.^

That the St. Andrew's course is in

?ood order is evidenced by the cards in

Saturday's four-hall, when four pairsfailed to separate themselves. Blackyas amonor the party, which suggests heis still keeping his touch. F. J. Beehan,an old Maungakiekie member, also hashis name included, while Crimp also wasProminent. The veteran player H. T.billies combined with Morpeth to fur-ther dispute the honours, so, all thingsconsidered, the play-off should be veryinteresting.

Roskill Cup.Akarana was in good order and scoring

in the Eoskill Cup was close. J. Colt-man's total of 141 was good and bearsout Ms recent form. The runner-up, H.R. Tyler, is also showing improvementand as a comparatively recent recruitis doing well. He only managed to winthe concurrent medal by one stroke, how-ever, R. J. Clarke playing unexpectedlywell to return a net 68. As was thecase with Middlemore, the scoring wasrather tall. B. J. Smith's totals inboth the cup and the medal were good,he having maintained his form of theprevious Saturdays.

Rotorua Tourney.At the time of writing the big guns

have only just assembled at Rotorua.Harold Lusk resumed an old acquaint-anceship with the course with a line TOand 73. He might easily have been under70 on each occasion, j. M. Hockin alsoput up a 70 in his initial try, and seemssuited to the course. Hockin should con-tinue to score well, as he is so seldomoff the line. Jack Goss, Jim Hussey andthe rest of the Wanganui contingent arealso playing well. This club has aboutsix lowmarkers at the tournament, andthey ought to collect their share of thespoils. The general impression is thatthere will be a surprise or two, and itis a view in which I concur. Readerswill be able to review this prophecy, asthe semi-final results will have beenpublished by the time these notesappear.

ROTORUA CHAMPIONSHIPS.

SEMI-FINALS REACHED.

ROTORUA, this day.Keen interest centred in the matches

to decide the semi-finalists for theRotorua championship on Thursdaymorning. Troutbeck, who is the onlylocal left in, played splendid golf todisgose of Brinsden, though the lattershould not have lost the four openingholes. Brinsden, however, hung on welland gradually made up the leeway tohave a fleeting chance. At the seven-teenth Troutbeck's tee shot, however,was truly hit, and he experienced nodifficulty in getting his three to winthe match. He should have a greatmatch with Hockin, who defeatedO'Callaghan, of Hawera, by brilliantlyholing a 3 at the 19th. This pair hada great tussle, first one and then theother having an advantage. O'Callaghancleverly negotiated a stymie to winthe 16th, and with an inspired chipshot from below the ISth,. won thathole also, to square the match. Hockin,however, presented him with a let-off,taking 3 putt 3 from a commanding posi-tion.

There was a big scramble of spec-tators to the 19th, where Hockin's six-yard putt settled matters. O'Callaghan,who has been a popular figure at theSouth Auckland tournaments for years,invariably provides a thrill for thecrowds.

Parata, the youthful local green-keeper, gave George a great match,which was closer than the final marginindicates. Gaining an early lead of twoholes, Parata had George on the defen-sive for the whole outward journey,and only generalship saved the latterfrom dire trouble. George's play is netso convincing as the other semi-final-ists, and he will need to improve todefeat Plumley. His green work hasbeen below his usual standard.

Plumley gained his place in defeat-ing the youthful Peter Howden, whoousted H. B. Lusk after a splendidexhibition, though he has not done any-thing sensational so far. He can bedepended upon to offer a stout resist-ance. As a title holder of the past hehas a great weakness for the Rotoruacourse. Much will probably be made ofLusk'3 defeat, but it was simply a caseof going down before first-class golf.Howden is a find, and promises to playa big part in tournaments of thefuture.

Jack Goss, ex-amateur champion ofthe Dominion, is included in those com-peting for the Thermal Cup. His failureto qualify caused a bit of a sensationin the opening rounds. His form on thegreens was poor, and, moreover, heappeared unable to master the bunkershot. Singularly enough he failed toqualify last year, but went on to winthe Thermal Cup, a feat he promisesto repeat.

Rainger and Dr. Abbott appear themost likely of the others as regardsthe championship. The semi-finalspromise to be vigorously fought, asthere is scarcely any margin betweenthose left in.

The matches to-day in the first roundof the championship resulted as follow:

R. George beat ST. E. Carr, 5 up and 4..H. Parata heat Buddie, 3 and .1.C. P. Howden beat H. B. Lusk, 3 and

Miles Senior.

Last Saturday found members of theManukau Amateur Cycling Club in realrecord-breaking trim. No doubt it wasthe spring-time atmosphere that assistedthem to materially reduce four of theexisting records during the afternoon.Road racing conditions could not havebeen better.

That the junior road race entry willsoon compare favourably with that re-ceived for the senior races promises verysoon to become an established fact.Every Saturday an increase is shown.Last weeks five miles contest for thesmall fry attracted an entry of 13, whichconstitutes a junior record for the newcourse out at Mount Roskill. The entryrecord was the forerunner of a serieswhich were to be established during theafternoon. The club ruling in respect tojunior races reads in one particularphrase: "That if 12 or more compete afirst, second, third and fastest timetrophy will be awarded." Saturday'sentry was therefore sufficiently strong toencourage keen competition for the minorplacings..

Ingrain's Initial Success.Of the field of 13 juniors, H. V. Gordon

and A. W. Robinson figured on scratch,while the limit pair, J. R. Bowen and P.H. Bicknell, rode off 4.0. The handicaphurdle was far too high for the scratchriders to surmount, for, in winning,K. H.Ingram, 3.30, crossed the line 1.11 beforeGordon could. Ingram had the advan-tage of pacing along with a team of fouroff his mark, and he made every use ofthe assistance offered by the combinedteam work. In the first, close, sprintingfinish to a junior race yet witnessed atMountRoskill, Ingram unfurled ahealthyturn of speed to counteract young Paul'sgame challenge. It was a regular Davidand Goliath duel, but the honours wenteasily to the Goliath on this occasion, forIngram tore across the line the winnerfrom Paul by a clear ten yards. It wasIngram's first success in a road race, andhis time of 15.48 meant that the scratchjuniors would have had to do 12.18 tocatch him, an utterly impossible task foreven a senior.

Paul Shapes Well.It was certainly no dishonour for

"young" W. Paul, 3m 30s, to be beatenby such a big and worthy rival asIngram. Paul made a fine effort overthe closing stages. Paul was a con-spicuous figure on the limit marks atMangere last season, where he scoredthree firsts. He improves with everyride. The Jast was his best. No doubtthe home trainer his dad- obtained forhim has had a lot to do with hisimproved form. A home trainer in thisuncertain climate is a regular boon to acyclist who wishes to train consistently.When weather conditions are bad thehome trainer is an invaluable asset. Itis a small and simple piece of mechanismconsisting of three rollers connected byan endless belt on which the ordinary

[ and every day cycle can be placed andpedalled with varying degrees of easi-ness or hardiness according to the adjust-ment of the rollers. It is a marvelhow a rider can maintain perfectbalance on the machine without the aidof any support.

Bicknell Gets a Place.P. H. Bicknell and J. R. Bowen, Loth

off limit, 4ro, are familiar figures offtlie front mark. They are popularlyknown as the "two midgets" and rideas if they were part of tlic one and samemachine. The only place in a racewhere they get at "loggerheads" is nearthe finish, when they reach the 220ydsline, permanently painted some time agoto assist the riders to time their sprintto a nicety. Last week Bicknell headedBowen by a length to gain third place.One of the pair must win a race beforelong.

Gordon Breaks Junior Record.H. V. Gordon had A. W. Robinson as

his partner off scratch on this occasionand the two combined their pacing workto perfection. Gordon proved thestronger sprinter and came away overthe last 100 yards to cross the line withseven lengths to spare from Robinson.Although he had the satisfaction ofreducing the old junior record held byRobinson by 33 seconds to, the goodlyfigure of 13m 29s he did not sight thewinner during the event. Gordon holdsmuch the same position among thejunior division members as does Fou-bister among the senior. Training is thekeynote of Gordon's successes. Hetrains on a small 74in gear and races ona 79in. Many of the juniors couldfollow Gordon in this respect, for someare obviously overgeared for such a hillycourse.

The Senior Twenty.Tie seniors rallied in good force for

their 20-miler over four laps of thecircuit. 'Seventeen started, and all ap-peared to be in fine fettle. Especiallyso was this the case with the back-markers. Retirements were ma'ny, forwhich the killing pace of the fitterriders could be blamed. The puncturefiend, too, was at work. C. Harris, rid-ing tubulars, met him on lap one, butJ. Whitten, who was really gettingdown to big business this time, did hotmeet him till near the end of lap three.Whitten was showing a bit of his olddash when he was forced to withdraw.Naturally his forced retirement tookmuch interest from the contest. Takenall rou'nd, the race, bar for the winner'scommanding lead after the first lap,was a fine spectacle, and thoroughlyappreciated to the full by the largegathering of enthusiasts.

Baird a "Dark Horse."David Baird, Sm, was easily the pick

of the limit bu'nch of Jive last week.He rode impressively, and from earlyin the second lap had the race well andtruly deep down in his pocket. Thefirst lap he rode in company with C. A.Clarke, the only other of his group ableto stay with him. But on lap two hewent away and completed same 34sahead of his partner of tha initial lap,who was the second ridsr to go past.When he entered the fourth and finallap he had almost 2ra lead on the nextrider. Naturally Handicapper Auck-raio, whose adjustments had been sorudely upset, came in for some good-natured "chaff" at this stage. Someconsidered it would be quite fitting ifBaird dismounted and walked the lastmile. Others went as far as to say hecould crawl in on his hands and kneesand still win. So assured were they ofvictory going to Baird. A few of theolder and experienced reckoned thatthey would, if In Baird's place, wait atthe top of the hill till the next mancould be sighted. But some wag con-sidered that such tactics would probablylead to cram]) and cold from overlon»and inactive exposure. However, Baird

kept moving, and crossed the line lm50s ahead of the next rider, who wasnot in sight on the half-mile-long finish-ing stretch when Baird finished. Sucha conclusive victory has had no pre-decessor in races conducted by theManukau Club. Handicapper Auekramis now well awake to Baird's possibili-ties as a road rider, and 'no doubt Bairdwill pay dearly for his impetuosity.For a study in confidence and cool, calmriding Baird offered a perfect example.He won the opening ten-miler over thenew course off sm. Ho 'now joins theselect number, Foubister and Mullane,who have two victories to their creditthis road season.

Mackie's Splendid Performance.The riding of Angus Mackie, 2m, was

the 'brightest feature of the fastest runrace of the season. He paced it outwith Whitten, his co-marker, till thelatter unfortunately punctured on lapthree. Continuing alone, he rapidlymade ground on the middle markers.He was sixth entering the last lap offive miles, on which he gained exactlylm lis on the winner to finish second.In the sprint for the position he madeC. Hansen, Bm, G. P. Clark and R. T.Baston off sm, who followed (the latteris the only applicable term) in theorder named, look "sick." Bar secondfastest time in the 50-miles champion-ship last year he had never been pre-viously placed in road competitions inAuckland. He came from Christchurch,where he raced with the Papanui ama-teurs last season. He is a brother ofWillie Mackie, proba'bly the finest pro-fessional wheelman the Dominion pos-sesses at the present time. Angus wasa familiar figure behind motor pace lasttrack &eason,' when lie lowered Opper-man's New Zealand-made motor pacedrecords for the one and five miles.

It has often been said that a spillwill get one nowhere in a race, but C.Hansen, Bm, the hefty cyclist fromAvondale, proved the exception lastweek. He fell on the first round, butremounted and finished a good third.

Is Foubister Invincible?R. G. Foubister, scr, admitted he was

a little "done in" when he finished lastSaturday in ninth position after a rideon which he got no support whateverand had to ride unpaced throughoutwith his nearest rivals on lmin.But when his time was announced nonewondered why he should feel fatiguedfor he had covered the 20 miles of

the undulating course in 53m 4os, andhad lowered his previous record by 4m10s. Even though he did his level bestby plugging hard, on the up grades andtaking"the down grades at breakneckspeeds, he could only finish 2m o3s after

the winner. Foubister is undoubtedlythe best road rider in the club, but,withal, he is not superhuman. Besidescreating a new 20-miles record he brokeall existing records during the co " lse

his phenomenal ride. His time at fivemiles was 12m 555, at ten 2 m > '15 39m 595, and at 20 o3m 4oS. The

previous bests were for the five ml[® s

13m 2s for ten 27m 30s, for 15 40m 10s,and for 20 57m 50s. Foubister tookevery opportunity of the favourablecircumstances, and one would be quitesafe in saying that he has shelved the20-miles recovd for some considerabletime to come.

Dwight Outsprints Cleaver.Throughout the race H. R. Dwight and

E. A. Cleaver, both off lm, ranexceedingly close for time honouis. Ilieywere just 18 seconds slower a.fc tbj> con-clusion. Dwight seems to ride better

each alternate8 Saturday. Last week

he was able to defeat Cleaver bytwo lengths in their sprint, but on theprevious Saturday Cleaver dropped himon the second lap of the five-lap race.Dwight is a very temperamental rider,

while Cleaver is consistently good.Generalities.

E M. Taylor, Bm, after an absence ofover a year started last week. A few

rides should see him fit. His last win

was on July 16, 1927, in a 17-miler atMangere when riding off 3m it

was therefore, little wonder that manycalled him "stranger" last Saturday.

The membership campaign introducedby President C. A. Paul is bearing fiuitfast. Last Saturday two new juniors, 1.G. Bellini and L. E. Cox, competed, whileJ. Watta, who intends to race next sea-son, joined up.

Next Saturday's senior race is thelongest set down for decision over theMount Roskill course. It will be oversix laps, a total distance of 30 miles. Toencourage long distance racing a mnia-ture cup has been donated by an enthusi-ast to go to the winner in addition tothe usual prize. Anyone who wishes towitness the race need only take a tramto the new Dominion Road terminus andthen walk straight on for half a milewhen he will be at the starting andfinishing point of the event. Foubister'sriding in this event will be watched withunusual interest, for he is a prospectiverepresentative of Auckland in the Domin-ion's longest amateur road race, the Pal-merston North to Wellington event of102 miles, which will be decided early inOctober.

PARLIAMENTRY NOTES.

PRIVATE MEMBERS' DAY.

pOWE&S OF XiA2fDIiOH.33S.

J£E. MASON'S BILL ACCEPTED.

jeiesraph.—Parliamentary Eeporier.)

WEiLIN GTON, Wednesday.After a general discussion of Minis-

terial answers to four batches of ques-tions, totalling over 70, the House ofggp-j-gsentatives to-day gave a longawaited opportunity to private members'bills, and made a fair clearance of theQrier Paper in that respect before theadjournment at 10.30 p.m. There wascasual success for the opening effort,31r. H. G. R. Mason {Auckland Suburbs)takins iuto committee an amendment ofthe Magistrate's Court Act, definingclearlv the powers of landlords in therecovery of rents through the Courtand limiting the power of re-entry.jj!is was regarded as a reasonablemeasure, and as it had been amendedby the Statutes Revision Committeethe House accepted it, and the bill waspassed.

The Coal Mines Amendment Bill (Mr.H. E. Holland) was read a second timeand referred to the Goldfields andjjjnes Committee.

The Electric Power Boards andSupply Authorities Association Bill(Hr. J- A. Nash, Palmerston North),was postponed, on the mover's motion.

There was an interesting division onthe ft- 1*" of !N~ew Zealand AmendmentBill, which is in charge of Mr. F.Langstone (Waimarino), who wishes tosea,- <reater State control over thatinstitution. Labour members and anumber of Government supportersvoted with Sir. Langstone, but theMinisters, with the Reform Oppositionprovided a sufficient force to reject thesftori title in committee, thus killingtha bill bv 37 to 27.

The Divorce and Matrimonial CausesAmendment Bill (Mr. Mason) advancedto the committee stage.

The Coroners Amendment Bill (Mr,G. E. MacMillan) was withdrawn.

The Local Elections and PollsAmendment Bill (Mr. Mason) was reada second time.

The Family Allowances AmendmentBill- (Mr. W. E. Barnard, Napier), 1seeking to transfer the payment tomothers instead of fathers, was reada, second time. It "was commended ona[l sides because it seeks to remedytie anomaly that where a father hasdeserted a family the wife cannot claimthe family allowance.

Ministerial Courtesy.Could Ministerial courtesy go further

fna.Ti the Prime Minister's answer _tothe member for Waimarino regardingthe-; filling of a vacancy on the Bank.of Xevr Zealand directorate? Mr.Langstone is informed: "The claims ofWaimarino will receive consideration,along with the claims of other partsof the Dominion, when the vacancyreferred to is being filled."

"A similar reply was obtained by aBunedin member, but it was_ an Inver-cargill citizen, who was appointed.

Farmers and "W&ge Award.Mr. W. J. Poison (Stratford) asked

tha Minister of Labour whether theGovernment will consider an amend-ment of the Industrial ArbitrationLegislation to enable organisationsrepresenting primary producers to placeevidence before the Arbitration Courtduring the hearing of any dispute hav-ing a close bearing upon their indus-try, and the awards concerning whichaffect the costs of carrying on suchindustry. He has been assured by theMinister that this matter will receive

consideration when further amendmentsara being made to the Act.

Film Fire Precautions.The introduction of sound reproduc-

tion equipment has necessitated theenlargement of the projection rooms in

theatres. Advantage has been taken ol

the opportunity given by these altera-tions, states the Minister of InternalAffairs, iu. reply to the member forTimaru, to require a considerablyhigher standard, both of constructionand fire prevention equipment. Regularinspection of theatres is carried, out bytrained officers, and special inquiries are jmade into all fires.

"While it is recognised.," adds theMinister, "that despite precautions filmfires will occasionally occur, it hasbeen demonstrated that with, the safe-guards now in force these fires involveonly small quantities of film, and areinvariably confined to the projectionroom."

Bank's Australian Business."Banking fijrures show that the Bank

of New Zealand has nearly £9,000,000lent, on Australian securities in Aus-tralia, and has only some £900,000 otAustralian deposits. It is also reportedthat serious losses have recently been,made by the bank in Australia, statedHr. W. J. Poison (Stratford), in aquestion to the Prime Minister, urgingthat the bank should abstain from cul-tivating general business relations witnAustralia, to the disadvantage of itsXew Zealand customers, thgs returningto the policy adhered to for 30 years. ThePrime Minister, in reply, denied thata change of policy had taken place."While the Australian deposits amountedas stated, to about £900,000, it wasoot correct to sty that £9,000,000 hadheen lent on Australian securities. Tliereport showed assets in Australia at£10,230.000, including coin, bullion _ and

Hlrtes, 400.000; Government securities,£4,000,000; due from other banks,£2,190.000: and other assets, £2,740,000.The advances would be included in theksfr, item, and obviously coulduotamount to anything like £9,000,000,

Dairy Factory Insurance.Concern was expressed by Mr. H. G.

Kckie (Patea) in a question to theGwermneit, which stated that dairycompanies in Tarauaki owning woodenStories were beins notified that theirPolicies would not be renewed, and thattheir" bankers had been notified of tneposition.

Sir Apirana, Xnata, Minister in chargeot

"

"the State Fire Insurance Depart-ment, replied that the Stat© office wasflot refusing to renew insnrancs onWooden dairy factories as a rule, but111 one or two cases, where special cir-

cumstances made it improbable Jiatdifficulty would arise in securing coverelsewhere, the office had Tor under-writing reasons expressed its wish nott° reaew. If, however, in any case itcould be shown that cover could nott"6 obtainef elsewhere, the Department sdecision would be reconsidered. crtones were not declined as a class, butto ensure success in -underwriting theoffice had to select its business, withat least the same care as its company( pftipetitors, and every risk was con-a'-ici-ed as its merits.

InsTiraiLce Agent3 Bill.Following the example of musicians,plumbers, architects, surveyors, land

agents and other groups, the insuranceagents of the Dominion, "who have theirnational organisation, are desirious ofsecuring legislative control or super-vision of their work. A bill for thispurpose was introduced by the memberfor Auckland Suburbs (Mr. H. G. 8..Mason), and it has been, transferred t,othe Rev. Clyde Carr (Timaru), whomoved its first reading in the House.He explained that its purpose was toprotect the public against life insuranceagents who might not be worthy ofthe trust imposed in them. It was alongthe same lines as the Land AgentsAct, the idea being to protect the gen-uine life insurance agent, who was com-petent and trustworthy, against otherswho solicited business in an irregularway, and whose character and abilitywere not such as should warrant theirundertaking that business.

SCHOOL SOCCER.

NORTH ISLAND TOURNEY.

AUCKLAND LIKELY CHAMPIONS.

(■By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)PALMEESTON NORTH, this day.

By following up their decisive s—lvictory over Wellington by the defeatof Waikato yesterday afternoon, theAuckland primary school Soccer reps, arealmost certain to recover the WebsterShield, the North Island championship.They have Manawatu still to play, butafter being beaten 4—o and s—l by Wai-kato and Wellington respectively, it i3not likely that Manawatu will seriouslytrouble Auckland, who are as yet un-defeated. The game against Waikato,which wa3 won 3—2 by Auckland, was avery strenuous contest, in which a highstandard of Soccer was displayed. TheAucklanders wasted no time in gettinginto their stride and ere the game wasten minutes old had twice penetrated theWaikato defence, for Eiggans to scoreon each occasion for his side. The gamewas carried along at a gruelling pacetill the interval, the boys excellingthemselves in. cohesive play. The changeof ends came with Auckland still twoto the good. Waikato battled withgreat pluck in the second spell andAuckland drove them off just as stoutly.The first score to Waikato came througha mistake by an opposing half-back,who sent the ball through his own goaland, spurred on by this encouragement,the South Aucklanders equalised. Theclosing minutes of the contest werepositively thrilling, and in an intensebombardment Scott put the issue beyonddoubt with a third goal for Auckland.

CRIME IN AUCKLAND.

FEWER CASES LAST YEAR.

POLICE WANT TWO NEWMOTOR CYCLES.

PATROLLING SUBURBAN AREAS.

(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)

WELLINGTON, Wednesday.To patrol efficiently the outlying areas

of Atickland City for the prevention anddetection of crime an increase in thenumber of motor cycles and sidecars isnecessary, states the Commissioner ofPolice, Mr. W. G. Wohlmann, in hisannual report to Parliament.

"The present motor cycles are wornout, making it impossible to maintainthe patrol that has contributed so mate-rially to the safety of citizens and thepreservation of property. I stronglysupport the application of the inspectorin charge of the central district for twonew high-powered motor cycles, withsidecars. It is gratifying to observe thatthe decrease in crime in the Aucklandco-ordinated districts noted last yearhas been maintained this year."

The Commissioner adcte that offencesreported in the year ended on December31,1929, totalled 7852, being a decrease of1057, or 11.8 per cent, on those of theprevious year. Of the offences reported7190 resulted in an arrest or summons;leaving 6G2, or 8.4 per cent, undetected,as compared with 8.5 per cent for theprevious year.

The officers in charge of the Aucklandco-ordinated districts repeat their recom-mendation in last year's report that theage of drivers of licensed taxis shouldnot be less than 21 years.

With the object of controlling itinerantauctioneers, it is the officers' opinionthat the Auctioneers Act should beamended to provide that licenses shouldnot be issued or renewed by a localauthority without a recommendationfrom, the police, as is the case withpawnbrokers and others.

According to Inspector J. Mcllveneythere were 1581 offences reported duringthe year in the Auckland metropolitandistrict, compared with 1943 in 1928.Arrests or summonses resulted in 1271cases. A marked decrease in reportedoffences appeared under the headings"Breach of Motor Vehicles Act," and"Theft and House and Shop-breaking."

Inspector Hollis reported that themotor patrol in the suburban areas hadbeen very beneficial, but unfortunately,owing to the condition of the motorcycle in use, a continuous service couldnot be maintained.

The total number of offences andcrimes reported in Auckland central dis-trict was' 5202. Of this number 4904were accounted for by arrest or sum-mons, leaving 298 undetected. Therewas a decrease of 349 compared with theprevious year.

FIRE REGULATIONS.

PROVISION OF ESCAPES.

NEW BY-LAWS ADOPTED.

CONTROL BY SUPERINTENDENT.

It is highly probable that improvedfacilities for escape from fire will berequired in numbers of existing build-ings owing to the adoption yesterday bythe Auckland Fire Board of by-laws gov-erning lire-escape provisions in the city.Before these by-laws can come into force,however, they have to be approved bythe Minister of Internal Affairs, but thatis expected to be a matter of form, be-cause the by-laws were drafted underthe direction of the Minister with theidea of securing Dominion uniformity infire board jurisdiction.

Since 1921 an. anomalous position hasexisted in regard to fire-escapes. Inthat year the Municipal CorporationsAmendment Act provided that a councilcould appoint a man to inspect fire-escapes, but exempted any borough thatwas a fire district or part of one. Auck-land City is a fire district, and therehas been no power of inspection fortwelve years. Only fire-escapes in newbuildings were inspected.

Discretionary power in the administra-tion of the by-laws may be exercisedby the superintendent or by the board,which may hear appeals and modify orreverse or otherwise deal with the de-cision of the superintendent. The super-intendent may, if in his opinion safe-guards other than fire-escapes are pro-vided, waive compliance- with any re-quirement of the by-law, provided thatno such waiver shall restrict the rightof the superintendent at any time there-after to exact full compliance. Nowaiver, however, may be made to per-mit an exit door or window to openother than by swinging outward or slid-ing laterally, to allow a ladder withrungs to be used where the by-law re-quires a stairway, or to allow the useof rope or other perishable material forthe purpose of escape.

Single-storey buildings, licensed pre-mises under the authority of the police,factories under the authority of theLabour Department, and public build-ings aAid places of amusement forwhich special authority exists, areexempt from the provisions.

The superintendent is given authorityto approve of provisions in all new build-ings, and can order improvements inexisting buildings. If the use of a build-ing is changed the superintendent mayrequire a different standard on the unitbasis. In a building providing sleepingaccommodation for from 20 to 100people, each person shall be reckonedas a unit and a half; where accommo-dation is for over 100 people, each personis to be reckoned as two units. In in-stitutions used for sick or infirm peopleor children, the .standards are increased.

For every 100 units, or part thereof,a separate fire-escape must be provided.These escapes shall have one-thirdgreater capacity than the nominal capa-city of the building. There are pro-visions regarding the size and number ofexits. Guiding notices are required, thesill of an exit must not be more thanCin above the footway of the escape, andin the case of 100-unit buildings it mustLe flush with the floor.

The escapes themselves must be strongenough to support on every part of thefootway a live load of 1501b to thesquare foot. The bottom of the escapemust end in a public or private roador in an open space of given dimensions.The lower landing must not be morethan 15ft above ground level. The foot-ways must not pass across any windowor opening, and no footway must beless than 30in in width, and the widthmust not diminish. The pitch of anystaiiease must not exceed one in three-quarters or be less than one in one andthree-quarters. Hand rails are requiredwhere the side is not against the wall.

CANCER RESEARCH.

MEETING IN WELLINGTON.

CONSIDERABLE FUND WILL BE

AVAILABLE.

LABORATORY WORK IN OTAGO.

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

WELLINGTON, this day.

The central committee of the CancerCampaign Organisation in the Dominiondecided, at a meeting in Wellington yes-terday, that the various divisions shouldcontribute in equal shares to the labora-tory work at the Otago University, andto general statistical research, but thateach division should remain responsiblefor local cancer clinics, radium purchase,and individual activities.

Dr. J. E. Elliott (Wellington) presided,arid there were also present Sir LouisBarnett, Sir Lindo Ferguson, Drs. D'Ath,Riley, Hercus and Newlands (Dunedin),Mrs. Acland, Billcliff and Mr. New-burgh (Christchurch), Dr. Lynch, Messrs.P. Fraser and C. M. Luke (Wellington),Mr. F. Castle (chairman of the Welling-ton Hospital Board), and Dr. Watt(Health Department).

The British Cancer Campaign Organ-isation wrote notifying that Sir ThomasWilford had been appointed to the GrandCouncil, and a communication was alsoreceived from Sir Thomas Wilford stat-ing that he was pleased, to accept theposition.

The Minister of Health wrote notifyingthat it was intended to validate the con-tribution by local bodies to the NewZealand division of the Empire CancerCampaign.

It was decided to constitute the Dun-edin members of the profession a statis-tics committee, and to ask Dr. Begg toundertake the supervision of the work.On the motion of Dr. Acland, it wasdecided to request the cancer clinics atthe four main hospitals to amplify theirstatistics by obtaining statistics fromthe subsidiary hospitals in their districts.Considerable comment took place uponthe advisability of inviting Dr. Bor-roughs, the English cancer authority,who had been brought out by the Com-monwealth Government, to visit theDominion. It was eventually decided toask the Health Department to ascertainwhether Dr. Borroughs was preparedto come to New Zealand to report uponradium treatment.

Dr. Watt said they had reached thatposition when they should put the ques-tion of finance upon a sound footing.The central committee would conie intopossession of a considerable fund, and itwould allocate that fund to the differentdivisions. Dunedin thought that eachdivision should contribute equally toresearch, and that each division shouldfind enough for the radium required.Dr. Watts said that Ota go and Canter-bury had about £16,000 in hand.

The chairman said that Wellington hadonly about £5000 in hand, and Aucklandhad about £7000.

Mr. Newburgh said that Canterbury,if it received a donation from the Traversbequest trustees, would spend thatmoney for local requirements, just asWellington would any donations it mightreceive. Canterbury was prepared topay in £500 a year to the central fund.

It was decided that the annual meet-ing of the central committee should beheld in Dunedin in September. I

The real meaning of tlie word "salary"is "salt money." It was originally anallowance given to Roman soldiers aspart of their pay, to buy salt when theywere travelling. In the course of timeits meaning was extended to include anallowance for any other purpose, andeventually it came to mean the whole ofa man's pay.

MAORIS MOURN.

ASHES OF LATE SIR MAUIPOMARE.

CEREMONY AT WAIKANAE.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

WELLINGTON, this day.The Ngatitoa tribe began its mourning

yesterday when the ashes of the lateSir Maui Pomare arrived at Waikanae.The obsequies were marked by a wealthof Maori ritual and the firing of singlerifle shots as the remains of the leaderapproached tlie pa.

A special carriage which bore theashes was taken to Waikanae as partof the Main Trunk express and thereshunted on to a loop line. The carvedcasket was placed on a wooden carrierwhich was borne by four Maoris. Afifth Maori led, grasping a taiaha, orceremonial spear, and slowly they borethe ashes away. Lady Pomare and herchildren followed, while other mournersand several members of Parliamentbrought up the rear. On the march tothe meeting house of the tribe crowdsof wailing women waving green branchesmet the cortege. The ashes will remainin a tent among the fern leaves untilmidnight, when they will be moved onto Waitara.

CONCERT PAKTY MEMBERS

TO BE PRESENT AT FUNERAL

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

WANGANUI, this day.Included among those who are travelling

by special train to Waitara on Fridayto accompany the ashes of the late SirMaui Pomare will be the WanganuiMaori party who recently took part ina broadcast at Wellington.

Sir Maui took a great interest in themembers of the party last year and itis considered particularly fitting thatthey should be present at the feneral.

MAORI CARVING

(By Telegrapfl.—Own Correspondent.)

NEW PLYMOUTH, this day.The work of Mr. T. Hebberley, who

carved the casket containing the ashesof the late Sir Maui Pomare, has causedgreat interest amongst local natives andphotographs of the work are numerousamongst those now congregating inlarge numbers at the Manu Korilii Pa.A movement is being crystallised toapproach Mr. Hebberley with a requestto coach Maoris by correspondence inthis almost lost art. It is possible thatpatterns and designs may be preparedwith the assistance of the Government,with Mr. Hebberley probably as instruc-tor.

The desire has been expressed by olderand younger generations to see ManuKorilii Pa embellished with carvingssymbolical of the old native arts, firstlyas a memorial to Sir Maui Pomare andsecondly as a movement to establishManu as an attractive tourist resortpossessing a typical Maori atmosphere.

CRIMINAL'S DISGUISE.

GAOL ESCAPE TRAGEDY.

ADELAIDE STREET BATTLE,

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

ADELAIDE, August 4.Following on the pitched battle be-

tween the police and the four prisonerswho escaped from Yatala Labour Prisonquarry, when two of the prisoners were

shot dead, a third was captured, and two

policemen and two civilians weTe injured,the arrest of the fourth escapee, who, hisface powdered and rouged, was dressedas a flapper, provided further excitement.In addition, another man was arrestedand charged with having harboured afugitive from justice.

The battla with the police was con-ducted on the Main North Road, neai

Nailsworth :Schoo".The men killed were:—Arthur Harold Harrison, aged 27,

Sentenced to three years for burglaryin November, 1929.

John Eustace Newchurch, aged 27, ahalf-caste, who was serving three yearsand a half for unlawful possession,stealing a motor car, and a previousescape from Yatala.

During the afterifton fighting thepolice captured Joseph Dawson, aged 27,who was serving eight years' imprison-ment for robbery under arms.

In tflie thick of the fight he threwdown his gun and surrendered.' That left only William Herbert Hayes,

aged 32, at large. He, too, had beenserving a sentence of eight years' im-prisonment for robbery under arms.

The two policemen and the civiliansI wbunded were: —•

John Robertson, aged 25, traffic con-stable, of Adelaide, shotgun pellets inlip and arm.

John L. Ruwaldt, aged 24, traffic con-stable, of Adelaide, shotgun pellets inleft arm.

William Ross Menadue, aged 42, lorrydriver, of Sefton Park, lacerations tohead and chin, caused by grazing ofbullet.

J. E. Gill, plumber, shot in heel.Clever "Make-up."

Hayes was arrested in a house inChatham Street, Adelaide, about 9.30at night by Detectives Cobb, Burke,Lindsay and Plain-clothes ConstablePhin. He was dressed as a flapper, withhis face expertly painted and powdered.He wore a dress of print material, whiteshoes and stockings, and a smart smallblack hat hid his close-cropped hair.He made no resistance, and, although hewas carefully searched, he did not haveany firearms concealed about his cloth-ing.

The dwelling in which Hayes wascaught was occupied almost entirely byhalf-castes. The house was surrounded,and the police entered a room styled bythe occupants the drawing room. Thepolice had their revolvers drawn, expect-ing a fierce fight, but instead they foundthe disguised Hayes sitting on a sofa.

The detectives kept their revolverslevelled at Hayes while he was hand-cuffed and searched. He was told tostand up and obeyed with surprisingwillingness. He said he did not intend tocause any bother, adding, "I've had agood day."

When the 'detectives were ready tomove off with their prisoner they re-ceived a shock to hear Hayes protestthat his shoes were too flimsy to go outon the wet roadway. He said he declinedto walk in the wet for anyone, and ifthey wanted to take him they wouldhave to carry him.

This the detectives decided to do.One of their, number bundled the"flapper" in his arms and carried himto the waiting patrol van. On the wayhe pointed out the justice of his causeby remarking that the roadway reallywas very wet.

Hayes' sang froid amazed his captors.When handcuffed, Hayes, it is said, re-marked: "It is your win this time,boys."

When being searched he admonishedofficers for "treating a member of thefair sex with rank discourtesy," andpleaded: "Remember I'm a woman, boys."

He spent the night in adopted attire.In the early part of the evening,

reports of Hayes being seen were re-ceived from several suburbs.

The escapes caused a stir in officialcircles, and police may ask for an investi-gation into the whole affair. It isstated in one quarter that Yatala wasundermanned, in view of the large num-ber of criminals imprisoned there, butthe Chief Secretary (J. Jelley) said hebelieved the prison was adequatelystaffed. The Minister said, however,than an inquiry would certainly be held.

"If men are permitted to work inopen quarries, it is only to be expectedthat there will be some breakaways,"he said. "The only alternative is tokeep the men in the cells." He referredto the number of rebellions recentlyprisons in other parts of the world,which he said, were bound to have someeffect on prison discipline generally.

When the car returned to police head-quarters the detectives again carriedHayes to the watchhouse, and after liehad been charged he was again carriedto his cell.

A charge of escaping from legalcustody was preferred against him.

A similar charge had earlier beenplaoed against Joseph Dawson.In Court—All Dressed Up.

Later in the night, after Hayes badbeen placed safely under lock and key,the four police ofiicers returned to thehouse in Chatham Street. They allegedthat upon entering silently the secondtime they found a man attempting todispose of a sawn-off shot gun and abicycle. The man was arrested, and onbeing taken to the watclihousc a chargeof harbouring a fugitive from justice waspreferred against him. The detectivesstate that the gun found in the housewas loaded with 12-gaugo cartridgesfilled with lead.

Hayes, still wearing the women's cloth-ing in which he was captured, and Daw-son appeared at the Adelaide PoliceCourt on charges of having attempted tomurder a police constable, and of havingescaped from custody.

At the request of the police prosecutorthey'were remanded. Charles Goetsch,42, labourer, of Adelaide, charged withhaving harboured Hayes, was also re-manded.

Hayes was in a white straw hat, withpink roses, a striped frock, and silkstockings. On returning to the cells hegenerously displayed liis lingerie.

"It was like war. Bullets were livingin all directions, both during the chasefrom Payneham to Nailsworth, and dur-ing the affray after the pursued and pur-suers left the cars," said ConstableDohoney, of Payneham.

"Newchurch was responsible for a rainof fire.' If he had shot accurately hewould have got me off in the Nailsworthschoolyard, as I was not armed."

While every police constable did liis dutybravely and well, there were outstandingcases of individual heroism. In face offire from the prisoners on the motorlorry, two sets of traffic constables droveat either side of it and exchanged shotswith the convicts.

After much manoeuvring one cycleswung behind the lorry. Constable Hollo-way jumped on the back of the lorry,climbed to the driver's cabin, anl afteragain calling on the driver to stop ex-changed further shots with the meninside.

Harrison and Newchurch then col-lapsed. Constable Denisori boarded thelorry and brought it to a standstill.

The Worry of Yatala.Yatala prison is notorious for riots,

fights and escapes. It has been the sub-ject of much, argument in- Parliament,and many commissions of inquiry, duemainly to the fact that it was being runon regulations 70 years old.

In an attempt to break away fromthese old trouble-breeding traditions, theadministration became ultra-modern, andit was not unusual for the whole prisonto take part in Saturday afternoon foot-ball matches in a paddock adjoining thegaol. Also, it was quite the usual thingto see one of the gaol's- most notoriousescapees —after he had reformed—drivingthe Governor's car outside the walls.

WILL JAPAN RATIFY?

PROBLEMS BEHIND SCENES.

RANKLING RESENTMENT.

AN UNPOPULAR PACT.

(By DR. J. INGRAM BRYAN.)

• TOKYO, July 7.The problem still befbre the Tokyo

Cabinet is whether it will be able tosurvive its consent to the London Naval

Pact in defiance of the Naval GeneralStaff. Even if the Pact be ultimatelyratified by the Emperor, it is unlikelythat the Cabinetcan sufficiently overcomethe aversion of the Privy Council to beable to continue in office, although thePact cannot be officially approved with-out prior consent of the council. Thesewheels within wheels leave the outcomevery uncertain. If the Privy Councilat last feels obliged to sanction thePact for the sake of keeping Japan instop with England and the United Statesthe council cannot be expected to for-give the Cabinet for forcing it into soignominious a position; and if thecouncil puts up sufficient opposition,the Cabinet must go, as the TanakaCabinet went.

The most strenuous opponent of thePact, Admiral Kanji Kato, was removedfrom his position as head of the NavalGeneral Staff to an advisory council, toavoid a direct clash with the Cabinet;but the change has intensified ratherthan lessened his opposition; for heknows that the leading members of thePrivy Council 1 are with him on thequestion. The army and navy serviceshave always claimed that the ImperialConstitution places them under directcommand of the Emperor, and that, con-sequently, they are in some real senseindependent of the government of theday. The present Cabinet will havegreat difficulty in obtaining ratificationof the Naval Pact without denying thistraditional claim of the defensiveservices.

Another Obstacle.Three years ago the Naval General

Staff made an exhaustive survey of thenational defences and readjusted themin accordance with the WashingtonTreaty of 1921; and these plans wereduly approved by the Emperor as Com-mander-in-Chief. Approval of the Lon-don Pact would involve a radical changein these plans, and be regarded as areflection on the Imperial imprimatur.As nothing has since happened to changethe absolute naval requirements of thenation, the naval authorities affirm thatthey cannot accept less than the minimumdefences considered necessarywithout en-dangering the nation and proving dis-loyal to the throne. Then,behind all thisopposition, there is a rankling resent-ment against Japan's being obliged toalter her naval requirements at thedictation of foreign nations withsuperior naval forces of their own. Itis deemed contrary to the spirit, of oldJapan to concede the of any for-eign power to decide what Japan's defen-sive requirements are. Neither Francenor Italy were willing to concede thisat the 'London Conference; and whyshould Japan be expected to do so?

Despite these grounds of local dif-ference and disputation, the wisestleaders in Japan, including the PrimeMinister, the Minister for ForeignAffairs and the Minister for Finance be-lievtf that any sacrifice of defensiveforces involved in Japan's ratificationof' the London Treaty will ultimatelyredound to Japan's credit and safety inworld affairs; for if Japan works thuswholeheartedly with England andAmerica for the peace of the world,these great nations will never consentto see Japan suffer in consequence fromthe menace of any alien power! As forrelations with England and Americathemselves, Japan must know that theless theso are made to depend on navalratios the -sounder and safer they mustremain. The very idea that Japan'sfuture depends on being able to defendherself against English-speaking nationsis inconceivable.

"R. B." BENNETT.

CANADA'S NEW LEADER.FTRMIY PROTECTIONIST,

" CONFIDENCE IX NATION.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)SAN FPiANCISCO, August 6.

Twenty-five years ago two young menfrom neighbouring villages in the pro-vince of New Brunswick. Canada, wereworking in Calgary, Alberta. One wasan insurance agent and one a lawver.To-day the insurance agent is LordBeaverbrook, one of the half dozenrichest men in England, publisher of agreat chain of newspapers and creatorand supporter of a new British tradeprotection policy. The.lawyer, RichardBediord Bennett, has just been electedPrime Minister of Canada.

The association ot tne two when thevweie voung, struggling, poor, but con-fident and ambitious, has been continuedthrough the years and has had some-thing to do with the subsequent successof each.

ihe Canadian election occasioned vervlittle surprise, except that the majoritvof the Conservatives was larger thananticipated. The Rt. Hon. E.

Minister-elect ,is no stranger tot.anadian public life. He has been beforethe people of Canada since his collegedays, nearly 40 years ago. He has beentne centre of many political storms. Inthe province of his birth. New Bruns-wick, he became famous as a youth forhis extraordinary gift of speech. Calls topublic action, received before he had fin-ished his law course, pointed to an in-evitable political career. He went Westto Calgary when he was in his earlvtwenties and Calgary was in its earlv'teens. He grew up "with the city andwith the Canadian West. The Provin-cial Legislature gave him his primarypolitical training. Before he was 30 hewas a political force in Alberta.Three years ago the Hon. ArthurMeighen, who had been twice butbriefly, Prime Minister, resigned. Anational convention of Conservatives wa-held at Winnipeg. Manitoba. It choseMr Bennett-or "R.8." as he is fami-licirly called—as liis successor.In 1921, 1923, and 1926 the Conser-vative party had suffered defeats incontests with the Liberals. The latterwere led by William Lyon Mackenzieanother leading Canadian lawyerAir. King displayed undeniable san-acitv 1and adroit political leadership in"tho*e !campaigns. The Conservatives were notdespondent as tne result oi repeated»outs,- but they were not the confident,aggressive, united national politicalorganisation that had won earlier con-quests.

_

Mr. Bennett transformed thisspirit, for he put into it life andcourage and fire, in which the averageCanadian delights.

His Greatest Asset.Mr. Bennett's ability on the public

platform was his first, as it has re-mained. his greatest asset. He has anamazing power of speech. He ioarresting, passionate, torrential—aboveall torrential. Words pour and racefrom his lips as a mountain river dashes,leaps, falls from the heights to thelowlands. None but a powerful mindcould produce, direct and control so vastand vehement a flood. His ventures inbusiness and finance—some taken inassociation with his boyhood friend MaxAiken, now Lord Beaverbrook—weresuccessful, and he is now one of thewealthiest bachelors in the BritishEmpire.

What may Canada expect of him?What will be his attitude toward theBritish Empi/e? What will be his policyin relation to the United States? In aword, Mr. Bennett is a CanadianNationalist, an Empire Imperialist, andno enemy of the United States. AmongEnglish-speaking peoples that combina-tion is possible only in Canadians, andIt is common in Canada.

He profoundly and fervently believesthat Canada is destined to become oneof ihe greatest nations of the world.He knows the Dominion's physicalresources as do few other men. He hasappraised the sound qualities of theCanadian people, their industry, theirrespect for education, their observanceof the law, their desire for home owner-ship, their poise, and their courage.

''Canada First."He is not dismayed that Canads has

become a nation "of only 10,000,000people. He realises that the largerUnited States will always act as amagnet that will draw many fromCanada, but that magnet will becomeless potent as population in the UnitedStates tends to 'become stabilised, andopportunity in Canada expands with thedevelopment of her enormous latentwealth. He stands first for Canadiandevelopment. He would be lounddeveloper of Canadian industrial poten-tialities. He would balance manufac-turing industry, and would not sacri-

fice the interests of either to. the wantsor requests of British industry. ealleged during the recent election cam-paign that for Mackenzie King to give

preferences to British trade wit ougetting a quid pro quo tor Canadianproducts in British markets inas 10 }.He will no more permit British manu-factured goods to push Canadian pro-ducts off the Canadian market than hewill allow American articles to suppian.Canadian goods. With all respect andaffection for the Mother Country he la ,a "Canada first" man.

BIRTH CONTROL.

WOMAN'S INTEREST

CATHOLIC MOTHER'S VIEWPOINT, j(BY CALIXTA.)

The ruling of the bishops at Lambeth |Conference has roused a controversy Iwhich tends to promote discussion in I-lay as well as ecclesiastical circles. Itk well that public opinion should beroused on such an important matter; toolong has it been a subject for whisperedconfidence and benind-door consultation.Even those who do not agree with theAnglican prelates' decision giust admitthat they have done well in bringing thesubject forward where the light of daycan reach it, and the cloak of pruderycease to hide it. Bishops have deliber-ated and spoken, laymen have read andtalked, and clerical editors of religiousjournals have girded up their loins andhurled inky attacks on the wise andcourageous clerics who dared to make apronouncement on a subject of vital im-portance to the present and future gen-erations. Amid all this clash of opinionsone voice has remained silent and Uh- Isought; woman, surely the most con-cerned, has had no say. Her opinion on .

this matter is evidently not worthy ofbeing taken into consideration any morein the twentieth century than in themiddle ages. And since so much has ibeen said and written locally and abroad |

as to the Catholic viewpoint on birth icontrol, it seems to me. a Catholic jmother, that the expi'ession of opinion jfrom one wlio has felt the pir.uh of theshoe would not come amiss.

The propounding of doctrines andtheories, the upholding of ideals and thewordy denunciations of those who ap-prove of the practice of birth control jall leave me cold, for I round me jevidences that among my co-reli<rionists imodern knowledge of preventive methods jis being freely used. How* can I deduce jotherwise? Am I to'conclude that all jthe healthy, comfortably-situated Catho-lic couples I know with limited familiesare living in aesthetic chastity or areinfertile? Let the clergy preach anddenounce as they will, modern problemsdemand up-to-date solutions and. com-mon sense prompts the limitation of:families in accordance with available |income. It is true that among Catholics ione sees many large families, but this is [not always evidence of a pious subniis- jsion or belief in the Church's teaching, jfor the Catholic mother, faced with the ;Drospect of adding yet another to an jalready large family, is as often heardto complain of her burden as a womanin any other community. Our clergypreach continuence in marriage as theonly lawful means of limiting the num-ber" of one's family; but as far as myknowledge goes they give no definiteteaching'as to-the advantages and dis-advantages of such a practice. More-over, the scientific fact that such con-tinuence is harmful is not taken intoconsideration; the moral aspect is theonly one brought ta bear on the sub-ject.

An editorial in a Catholic journalpoints out that the principal end of sexlove is the procreation of children. Thismay be the Church's teaching, but suchan opinion is not in accordance withbiological fact, which plainly states thatsex-satisfaction has no thought, for off-spring. Though*of vital importance asthe main factor in- the continuation ofthe species sex is not concerned withthe results of its gratification. If it jwere, women might be more fastidious jwhich, as Bernard Shaw has pointed out,they are not. !

Birtli control may he '"'against thenatural law" in that it is designed toprevent the cruel and wanton wastagewe see in. Nature. So also are manyother customs which civilised manfound it advisable and necessary to put jinto practice against natural law. Dr. ,HaKiday Sutherland is quoted in a refer- jence to" the use of contraceptives, but I <vould point out that these were usedby the immoral in all ages. All menand women with opportunities for obser-vation are aware that contraceptives .

have been used and are being used_ by -lpeople who never give a thought to scien-tific birth control, or the ethics _otmorality. The fact remains that im- ,morality and its results in illegitimatebirths, infanticide and abortiou are withu.s now and hare always existed. _N<>public espousal or denunciation of birthcontrol by churchmen or laymen willweigh one'iota in these cases. The ques-tion of thoughtful and deliberate limita-tion of births for the good of the indi-vidual and the race is one worthy ofthe support of everyone concerned with .

human welfare. Having Iwen broughtinto prominence it should not be againsuppressed by the conspiracy of secrecywhich has prevailed so long.

CORRESPONDENCE.

THE WAGES PROBLEM.

BENEFITS OF CHEAPER WHEAT.

I am afraid "Worker" missed one ofthe main portions of my letter, as thisportion of it was not published. I saidI only advocated a 20 per cent reduc-tion in wages, conditionally on theGovernment paying the subsidy directto the wheat grower out of the taxes,and allowing wheat, flour, bread andpulse to be sold in New Zealand at theworld parity. That would be wheat atthe main ports at 4/G per bushel. Bread,pollard, flour, and bran would then bedown in the same proportion. I wonderif thought has been given to what thiswould mean to pig and poultry farmers ?

I am sure there are at least five thous-and people in New Zealand at the pre-sent time who would bo willing to goin for this class of farming if theycould buy feed for their stock at' areasonable rate. It would mean thateggs could be produced at a profitselling at 1/ a dozen, with an unlimitedEnglish market waiting for them; andthe same with the pigs. This would re-vive industries which are almost atdeath's door, and create employment forthousands, and increase our exports;also the Government would benefitdirectly, as they would have somethousands of successful farmers to tax,in place of having to create non-productive work for the unemployed. Ihave tried (successfully) bringing up afamily on less than £2 18/ per week priorto the war. I have also made it a prac-tice never to purchase a foreign articleif I can obtain either a New Zealandor British one. < W.H.T.

TOWN AND COUNTRY.

The contribution by W. D. Keys on theabove subject is an interesting studyto all economio and sociological students.The solution that is mostly desired isone of absorption, permanent, not tem-

! porary. After a careful perusal of Mr.Keys' suggestion we ultimately arriveback at the same old starting point withthe, unemployed still with us. Althoughjio doubt during the intervening perioda considerable number of farmers havebeen helpes. on the road to wealth andprosperity, mainly at the expense of thegeneral taxpayer, one would not objectto this generosity to the farmer, pro-vided the unemployed were absorbed tostay absorbed, but when this surplus ofcity labour is to bo uped specifically fordepartmental work for • the benefit ofestablished farmers, who are free todispose of this extra labour themoment all of their lands have beenbrought into profit, the general tax-payer would be justified in raisingobjections to helping the farmer topersonal wealth and prosperity if he wasto have tie old burden thrown back onhis hands , once more when the farmer'sdevelopment objective had beenattained. At the present time our un-employment figures seem abnormal, butwe must not lose light of the fact thata very large proportion of these figuresappertain to casual workers and notpermanently out of works. No cityor corporate community will ever be freefrom the evil effect of unemployment inso far as casual labour is concerned.The problem is to stabilise the, casualsand this was attempted by the passingof the Land Amendment Act, 1928,which made provision for urban 10 and15 acre settlement. The 1028- amend-ment was a start in' the right directionand had the scheme been carried tofruition we should now be well in ourway to the consummation ofcasual labour■stabilisation. There is one point uponwhich Mr. •Keys is rather vague andthat is, who pays the Government 30/or 40/ subsidy? Does my friend suggestthat, provided tha 30/ poll tax becomeslaw, this'tax be passed on for the bene-fit of the established farmer

_

who isdesirous of bringing all his landpossessions into profit at the lowest costto himself? Surely the many, manythousands of city workers who are them-selves living on the border line oughtnot to be asked to extend their generos-ity, in such a manner as our friendsuggests. The problem is still far fromsolution. CHARLES LAWRIN,

"UNIMPROVED VALUE.

In reply to your -correspondent"Voyageur," I would like to place thefollowing facts before the public. Papa-toetoe three years ago adopted _ ratingon the unimproved value, and, like therest of NeW Zealand, has suffered bythe general depression. Still, the? fol-lowing figures will ehow that we havemade steady progress, and are a longway from stagnation. During the lastthree years 222 building permits, of thevalue of £102,752, have been issued,£84,399 being for dwellings and £9779for shops, etc. Our neighbouring borough,Otahuhu, which for 15 years or morehas been under unimproved value, issteadily growing. Christchurcli, the thirdlargest city in New Zealand has justreduced its rates from 3d in the £1to 2|d under the same system. Welling-ton, the capital city, still thrives, andshows no sign of stagnation.

W. A. NESBITT.

TRAM EXTENSIONS ANDUNEMPLOYMENT.

As a ratepayer I am one of thosethousands of ratepayers who voted iQfavour. of the loan proposal to carryout the tramway extensions, believing,through the urge on the part of theTransport Board, that if the loan wascarried it would alleviate unemploy-ment. The Transport Board in its wis-dom saw fit to call tenders to carry outthe excavation work on these exten-sions. tfhe successful tenderer has usedthe motor nawy and a few men to dothe job. On the morning one contractwas started it was my painful experi-ence to see about 50 men wait for hoursin the teeming rain to be picked to beemployed. I feel sure had tjie rate-payers thought that the board intendedcarrying out the work by contract in-stead of by day labour the loan wouldhave been turned down flat.

: r XA. M. CASSIE.AVONDALE BUS SERVICE.

I noticed in your paper last week, areport of an interview of a deputationof Waterview ratepayers and residents,with the Transport Board. During thisinterview Mr. Alhjm is reported ashaving stated that the Waterview dis-trict and AVOndale district ,was notseething with discontent, as stated bythe deputation. Being one of those whocanvassed the districts with the petitionfor a through bus service, I happen tobe in a position to know exactly thefeeling of the public. Out of the severalhundred people I personally interviewed,only about three expressed their satis-faction with the present feeder service.Everybody else was absolutely dissatis-fied with the present arrangement.

FORESTERS' ANNIVERSARIES.

PROGRESS OF THE ORDERS.

JUVENILE ACTIVITIES,

The Foresters' Devonport, wascrowded on Wednesday evening whenCourt Victoria A.O.F. held their 45thanniversary gathering. Beautifullydecorated by sister Foresters the halland supper tables looked particularlyfestive and inviting. Not only did thelocal members roll up in full force, butrepresentatives were present from thedistrict executive, Courts Pride of Swan-son, Edith Cavell, Maid Marian, Taka-puna and Nil Desperandum; also dele-gates from the Druids' Manchester Unity,Rechabites, Hibernians, 1.0.0.F., Rebe-kahs, and the local Fire Brigade. ChiefRanger Bro. N. Veart presided andpromptly at 8 o'clock opened the pro-ceedings by announcing the toast of "TheKing," which was most enthusiasticallyhonoured. On behalf of the Court thechairman extended a hearty welcome tothe visitors. A lengthy toast list washonoured, the chief being "Court Vic-toria," proposed by the D.C.R. Bro. Kingand replied to by the chairman. "TheVisitors," proposed by P.C.R.Lean and responded to' by the delegatesof kindred societies j\ "The DistrictExecutive" by Bro. Hoverd, replyby Bro. Hughes. The importanttoast of "The Ladies" was en-trusted to the Court chaplain, Rev. Bro.Hoskin, who fulfilled his duty admirably.The entertainment portion of the pro-gramme was in the capable hands ofBro. Blackwood and a real good timeresulted. Recitations M. Brownand Mr. C. Burnett, violin solos by Mr.N. Walker, songs by Mr. Proctor, a pianoduet by Mrs. and Miss Broberg and apiano solo by Miss Jean Broberg helped-to make the evening a huge success. Themost important eyent of the gatheringwas a presentation by P.C.R. Bro. W.Knaggs. to the secretary, Bro. H. T.Hoverd. During the 45 years that theForesters have been established in Dev-onport, Bxo. Hoverd has been a member

'for 32 years, and for 31 years the confi-dence of the lodge has been shown inhim. For nine years this worthy brotherheld the office of treasurer, and whenthe secretary (Bro. Osborne) removedfrom the district Bro. Hoverd waselected to the dual position of secretary-treasurer, a position he has filled withhonour for 21 years. To show theesteem in which he is held, his fellowmembers asked Bro. Knaggs to present toBro. Hoverd a beautiful Chesterfieldsuite. This was done to the strains of"For He's a Jolly Good Fellow." Bro.Hoverd feelingly responded. After abounteous supper had been partaken of,Bro. Knaggs was- again called upon tomake a presentation, this time to theCourt's chaplain, Rev. Bro. Hoskin, whois leaving to take charge of the Con-gregational Church at Raglan. In doingso Bro. Knaggs referred to the splendidservice Rev. Hoskin has rendered not onlyto the Court, but to the community dur-ing his stay in Devonport. Bro. Hoskin

and regretted his, departurefrom the district and particularly fromCourt Victoria. The singing of AuldLang Syne brought a very successfulfunction to a close. '

Arrangements were discussedfor the holding of the picture competi-tion for the Glass Silver Rooster, whichwill probably be held in the Aucklandlodge room at an early date, the contestthis time being between Waitemata andGrey Lynn lodges. As this is the firstoccasion on which the sisters have com-peted, the contest will beS of extra inter-est. The D.P., Bro. Fisher, was presentand was able to give valuable advice asto the best manner of augmenting thefunds of the lodge. A most interestingpaper was read by Bro. W. Gregory,P.D.P., on the early Druids and theinauguration of the U.A.O.D. as a benefitand' fraternal society.

At the conclusion of the busi-ness games of bowls, cards, quoits and

tennis were played. A match forthe bowls trophy was played, Bro. Gavanreplacing the champions' Bkip. An ex-citing game ended in a lucky win forthe champions, who but for a fluke musthave been just beaten. Refreshmentswere served and an enjoyable eveningcame to, a close about 11.30p.m.

"The...Amateur Queen"

By RUSSELL STANNARD.

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS CHAPTERS,

VIVIEN CLEMENT opened a photographer'sstudio in London; she lived alone exceptfor her Persian cat Josephine.

EDWARD CAKR, a young man working inthe motor-car showrooms opposite, is hercustomer. One day a foreigner,

PRINCE PAUL MIDANTI, comes to thestudio and asks Vivien if she will takethe photograph o£ a child. It must bedone in the greatest secrecy in the coun-try. Vivien agrees, and that same eveningMidanti calls for her and her apparatusin a large car. Edward Carr, who hasdeveloped a great interest for Vivien, sees,with misgivings, the car bearing Vivienaway. Two days later when there wasstill no sign of Vivien, Carr determines tobreak into her flat and find a clue as toher whereabouts. He discovers Midanti'scard with a Knightsbridge address. Theaddress is that of the Solvarian Legation.Calling there, he can elicit no informationconcerning the whereabouts of eitherMidanti or Vivien.' The next day hereceives a letter from Vivien telling himnot to worry, that she is with friends. Shegives no address, however, arid Carr isstill dissatisfied. He determines to findher. Working on a clue, Carr drives to alittle village near Guildford, in Surrey,lie is followed the whole way. As heapproaches the house where he believesVivien to be, he is suddenly seized frombehind. Blindfolded and bound, he istaken into the house, where he is inter-viewed. His captors say they will releasehim only if he will promise not to inter-fere again, and to keep silence about theevents of that evening. He refuses. Sud-denly he finds lie is alone—a prisoner.Nevertheless, he is treated like a guest.The following day Vivien visits him. Shetells him she is engaged in an astonishingsecret undertaking. She admits there maybe some danger, arid, for that reason, Carris anxious to join her. Prince Midantiagrees to include him, if he will swear tosecrecy, even before knowing the natureof the enterprise. Carr agrees to every-thing so that he may be near Vivien. Hethen motors back to town to settle hisaffairs, in the expectation that severalweeks will elapse before he will be freeto return to his usual life.

CHAPTER XII.Midanti Discloses His Plan.

Carr came out as the born film pro-ducer, as well as a good actor, and therehearsals of a few days saw the com-pany already putting up a very interest-ing show, so much so that there wereregrets that all this effort was beingwasted, and that there would be norecord of some really interestingscenes.

The prince thought this could beremedied, and having brought a stockof film with him, it was decided tomake a picture on board the yacht ofsome of the best things, including theduel scene between Carr and Marzer,which "was so realistic that the crewcheered the combatants impartiallyand with great enthusiasm.

The film was actually taken by theprince when the yacht reached thewaters of the Mediterranean, and inperfect weather, and when it wasfinished and the film developed it wasgiven two performances, so that everymember of the crew had an opportunityof seeing it.

It was Carr who pointed out thatthere was one scene that they wereunable to act on the ship, and that wasthe aeroplane flight.

"We must have an aeroplane flightin the story," he said; "otherwise howare we to account for the presence ofthe machine in the country?"I The prince laughed.

. "What a fool I am; I never thoughtof that. We must invent a scene inwhich the hero and his bride and partydepart by air, which, considering thestory takes place about the middle ofthe 18tli century. . .

."

"A trifle like that would not worryHollywood," rejoined Carr. "Anachron-isms sometimes add a little humour toa film, that badly needs it. Nevertheless,an aeroplane suddenly brought' into thisstory without any explanation mightarouse suspicion should any spies ofthe Solvarian Government chance to bepresent." .

"I think they are sure to be," saidthe prince. "They are very suspiciousof any visitors on this coast."

Carr looked thoughtfully at Vivien,and, as if getting inspiration from hereyes, said suddenly: "I've got it! Thehero will have a dream of the future,a fantastic affair of'duels as they wouldbe fought out a century or so later,duels with horrible scientific weapons,with poisons, germs, gases, chemicalsand duals in aeroplanes, a fight 10,000feet up, a duel to the death withdaggers!"

"C'est magnifique," said the prince."Yes, thank you," 'said Carr, "but

who's going to fly the machine?"The prince nodded towards. Marzer."The inimitable Marzer.""Well," said Carr, "if you should,

want a substitute I have a pilot'scertificate."

Then he added:"I would suggest that after the film

stunts are finished the company returnto the ship with all their belongingspacked, all of it done as publicly aspossible. We then return at night andhaving made sure that the coast isclear we board the aeroplane and reachyour rendezvous in Solvaria beforedawn."

"That is what I have in mind," saidthe prince.

There was silence, and Carr havingfilled his pipe and lit it blew out tosea blue clouds of smoke. , -

"And then what" do we do 1" he asked.The prince looked inquiringly at

Vivien and Rosetta, "Shall we tellhim?" he asked.

Vivien nodded, and Rosetta said: "Iwould tell Edward anything about any-thing. He looks so safe, and he isso safe," and she said it so enthusiast-ically that the young, man blushed.

"Very well, then," said the prince,taking a large envelope from, a pocket.Out of the envelope he took two photo-graphs. He handed one to Carr.

"That," he said, "is Vivien's por-trait of the King."

, Carr looked at it with the keenestinterest.,.

"A bonnie looking lad/' he murmured.The prince took back the picture and

then looked at the other one."And this is a picture, not by Vivien

but taken by me with her camera—aphotograph of the King and Vivien."

Carr studied it, and then looked atVivien.

"By jove! Vivien, but you do look aQueen. This is superb."

"I am glad you think that," said theprince, "because this photograph hasbeen taken with a special object in view.As you know we are circulating thepicture of the little boy throughout Sol-varia, confident that the people will seethe remarkable likeness to the lateKing.

"We are also distributing this otherpicture, as a photograph of the youngKing and his governess. The motivemay seem strange to you, but one dayit will be perfectly clear. Actually thereis a splendid idea behind it."

"This is all most interesting," saidCarr, "but I thought you were going totell me what we are going to do whenwe reach the rendezvous."

"I Avill tell you. At a certain placewhere we shall land at night after re-ceiving some secret signals, we shall bereceived by your friends and taken toa castle, which will be the headquartersof the monarchists.

"There we shall wait until we receiveword that the time is ripe to visit pub-licily Rostain, the second biggest city inthe country, where we are assured of anoverwhelming and immediate declara-tion in favour of the monarchy both bythe army and the people.

"At the right moment the boy kingwill be shown to the people. From thatmoment there is no doubt that llostainand all the provinces will break awayfrom the government. The only un-certainty is what will happen in. thecapital itself—Zizatburg where the Re-publican element is still very strong andwhere the Government may be able torely upon a considerable part of theaflnv stationed there.

"There may be bloodshed, there mayeven be civil war lasting long enoughto cause great distress, but there is agood prospect of a bloodless restoration.

"The popularity of the late King anaQueen was very great, and the countryhas never had quite so unpopular agovernment as the present one. ThePresident is a weak man and merelythe tool of the Premier, unscrupulousand corrupt, who has been enrichinghimself and his Cabinet. The Press isfor the moment cowed, but as soon asthey see the strength of the m6narchiststhey will publish exposures of politiciansand their works which will surely wreckthe government."And don't forget that the peopleknow that with a king again, or at anyrate a regent, and a clean government,will come friendlier relations withGreat Britain and the British Empire."

"Thanks very much," said Carr. "It'sall very clear to me now. I hate livingin all an atmosphere of mysteryeven though I may realise v'latmystery is essential. But it'snice to be trusted 'with secrets.Where exactly do I function vhen Bos-tain rises?"

"Even now with all this corruptionand anti-British propaganda the indi-vidual Englishman is trusted, and youhave only publicly to assure my country-men that your country will welcome therestoration of the monarchy. Such adeclaration coming from an Englishmanwill have a good effect especially asyour own diplomatic representatives willbe unable to take sides."

"I can do that quite concientiously,"said Carr, "for it is obvious in GreatBritain that all parties except a fewextremists know that a monarchy is asessential to the well being of Solvariaas it is to Great Britain."

"But will the people understand whathe says?" asked Vivien.

"English- is spoken more than anyother foreign language because of theclose ties that have existed between thetwo countries in the past, and in anycase there will always be an interpreterin attendance."

Three days later the Albanian coastwas in sight, and everything was inreadiness for the landing, when some-thing happened which for the time beingexciteif the gravest doubts in the Prince'smind as to whether the SolvarianGovernment had got wind of the plot.

The Prince that morning as a pre-caution had adopted a disguise—a falsemoustache and dark glasses. His hairwas also close cropped, and he practisedhard with an American accent.

All the men in the company, assistedby the crew, had working hardputting together what parts of the aero-plane . could be assembled on board theship without making its removal to theshore .impossible, when the captain drewthe Prince's attention to the approachof a submarine.

The Prince regarded it through hisbinoculars, and then suddenly ex-claimed.

"Rosetta, that craft is flying the Sol-varian flag, and she is coming to have alook at us."

The Prince's voice was calm, but Carrdetected anxiety.

The submarine moved up at a leisurely,pace and came alongside, The com-mander, a stout officer with a beard anda pair of keen eyes, inquired if thiswas the yacht with the film crowdaboard.

The captain of the yacht told himthat the party were on board, and thatthey were about to land and ' startoperations at once.

The submarine commander grinned'arid showed his teeth. - •

"I just wanted to let the companyknow that if I can be of any assistanceI shall be delighted."

The Prince came up and made aclumsy bow.

"Say captain," he said, "I guess that'svery kind of you, and we greatly appreci-ate your courtesy. Should we want anyhelp you may be sure that we shan't for-get your very kind offer."

The officer bowed, The captain of theyacht offered refreshments tohim and hisbrother officers, which were declined, alsowith a great show of courtesy, and inanother minute the submarine movedaway.

The Prince was breathing hard, andhe went up to Rosetta and" whispered.

"That man is an implacable foe ofthe monarchy. I thought at first that hesuspected us. But he obviously did notrecognise me. If lie had done so, he wouldhave had a shock, and would have beenwirelessing Zizatburg at this moment."

"Your accent was perfect,"_

saidRosetta, "but even more impressive inthe circumstances was the sight_ of thebored-looking Englishman and his pipe,I- saw that submarine commander look-ing at him. I think Mr. Carr effectuallydispersed the atmosphere of intrigue andsuspicion." _ ,

"The English gentleman is so disarm-ing—therein is his strength." The Princebowed to Carr.

"We nry be disarming," said Carr,"but it" does not convince some othernations that we believe in disarmament."

With the conclusion of the submarineinterlude, the company prepared to dis-embark at the little port where pre-parations had been made in advance forlanding the film company and theirapparatus.

These proceedings took some little time,bu,t .there was no mishap, and in a fewhours the company were installed inthe - little - hotel 7 that was to be their

quarters for the few days. In theevent of the accomodation not beingsatisfactory, the ladies at any rate wereto make the yacht their sleepingquarters.

Here was a strange primitive countrywhich for Vivien and Carr, who hadnever been there before, would haveprovided considerable amusement but forthe serious purpose of their visit andthe risks involved in their undertaking.

VOTING SYSTEM.

LOCAL BODIES' ELECTION.

AMENDING LEGISLATION DEBATED,

(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Keporter.)

WELLINGTON, Wednesday.Tie need for an alteration in the

method of voting in local elections wasstressed in the House of Representativesto-night during the second reading con-sideration of the Local Elections andPolls Amendment Bill, introduced by Mr.H. G. R. Mason (Auckland Suburbs).

Mr. Mason explained that the billwas designed to enable local bodies tomake their own choice as to the formof voting paper they should use—eitherthe present form of striking out candi-dates' names or that fornlerly employed,of marking a cross beside the names ofthe candidates the elector supports.The present, method seemed to suit somelocal bodies, because they did not havea great number of candidates, but itdid not suit those who had a greatnumber of seats to be filled.

The Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates, Leader ofthe Opposition, said he knew of nodesire of any rural local bodies to alterthe form of their ballot papers.

The Hon. P. A. de la Perrelle, Ministerof Internal Affairs, urged that the billshould not be rushed through, as thepresent system was giving satisfactionin the majority of cases. He suggestedthat the measure should be referred tothe Local Bills Committee.

The Hon. A. J. Stallworthy, Ministerof Health, considered the amendmentproposed was in the right direction.

Mr. J. A. Nash (Palmerston North)': 1Do the Auckland City Council favourit?

Mr. Stallworthy said a similar pro-vision was contained in a local bill pro-moted by the council. The opinion ofthe council was that that provisionshould be made.

Mr. D. Jones (Mid-Canterbury): ThenCabinet is divided upon it.

Mr. Stallworthy said -there would beno harm in sending the bill to the LocalBills Committee, although he was quiteprepared to vote for it now.

In replying, Mr. Mason said there wasno need to send the bill to committee.It could be taken for granted that if thebill were allowed to proceed it would beclosely overhauled by the Government.In any case, if members could not judgeon such a simple matter, what was theuse of their judgment at all?

The bill was read a second time.

POTASH ON THE FARM.

A GENERAL PLANT IMPROVER,

OFTEN 3TEEDED—UTTLE USED,

(Specially Written by "Super")

The introduction on a large scale ofnitrogenous manures, and the intensifi-cation of top-dressing in New Zealandhave turned the attention of farmers tomany aspects of manuring which previ-ously received but little consideration.Hitherto, except in southern districts,liming has not been practised to nearlythe extent that it should have been, butnow farmers are beginning to realisethat a shortage of lime is a limitingfactor in the success of manuring, andthat if there is insufficient lime in thesoil, the phosphates they apply will notgive the response they should. Similarly,many farmers are interested in thequestion of potash manuring, and areanxious to know why potash is necessaryand why it apparently gives littleresponse.

Lime and phosphates are the two thingsmost needed by our New Zealand soils,and it therefore follows that when othermanures are used the effects will not beso outstanding. With the aid of nitro-gen it is now possible to secure a greatincrease in leafy matter, but whenpotash is applied, farmers often complainthat there' Is practically no increase.After all, the one reason for manuring isthat there shall be a profitable inereaseover and above the cost of fertiliser, andit is quite a reasonable attitude forfarmers to adopt, that if there be noincrease the soil cannot need the potash.

Improves Quality.It Is a very difficult matter "to measure

increase in leaf growth, unless this bevery considerable, and it may often bethe case that there is an increase whenpotash is used, even though this is notapparent to the eye. The real pointabout potash though is that it actuallyimproves, the quality of the herbage, andallows plants successfully to withstanddisease. Certain quick growing cropssuch as mangolds must have amplesupplies of pocash, and in these casespotash manuring isr generally carriedout. The fact remains, however, that ondairying country, the potash must in-evitably be taken out of the soil as acow removes about 251b of potashper annum. New Zealand being a young

.grasslands -being, notso-far removed from the days when thebush was burnt, and supplies of potasixmade available to plants, it is probablethat potash as a limiting factor is onlynow being felt on much of the land.With the intensive methods of produc-tion now carried out in many parts ofthe country, and especially in the dairy-ing districts, it stands to reason thatpotash manuring will become more andmore necessary.

The history of potash manuring datesback much further than that of manur-ing with phosphates for it is over 200years since it was found that woodashes improved grassland. Needless tosay it was only a few years ago com-paratively speaking, when the reason forthis became apparent.

Experimental work in England ha.>proved that in some indirect way, pot',ash stimulates the leaves of the plant ito do their work of manufacturingstarch and sugar in a satisfactory 'way,which would of course be one of thereasons why it i.3 so essential as amanure for starchy crops such as man-golds, turnips etc.

What Soils Lack Potash?Before it can he known definitely

whether potash will give highly profitablereturns, it is necessary to know whetherthe soil is lacking in potash. Experienceelsewhere shows that it is usually inthe case of lighter type soils that thebest responses are secured. claylands are usually well supplied with apotash. In any case it is always opento the farmer to carry out a little experi-mental work for himself, and in the caseof an intensively managed dairy farmwith small paddocks, this is notdifficult.

Having decided to try out potashmanures it is necessary to know whichtype to use, as there are several forms011 the market, varying in price accord-ing to their potash contents. It is gener-ally accepted that for. grassland, 30 percent potash salts are most economical,and most efficient. The price at whichthey are sold provides the cheapest unitvalue' of any potassic manures on theNew Zealand market to-day. On theother hand, for crops of mangolds andpotatoes, kainit, which contains from12 per cent to 14 per cent of potash isfavoured bv many practical farmers,who say that it has given them betterresults than the potash salts. _ Possiblythis is due to the fact that in kainitthere are certain impurities such as salt,which have a beneficial effect on the crop.

"Complete" Manures.The ideal to which, farmers are_ now

looking is to provide their soil with amanure so complete, that maximum pro-duction can be maintained year afteryear without depletion of the soil. Itis impossible to attain such an ideal atonce, or without surmounting obstaclesthat will appear from time to time. Inconnection with potash manuring forinstance, the question may well ariseas to whether it is not possible to applyone of the new synthetic "complete fer-tilisers which will at one dressing supplythe pasture with all the phosphate,potash and nitrogen it needs. The writerhag nothing derogatory to say of thesenew "complete" fertilisers. The truthis that we do not yet know enoughabout them to know whether they willactually do all that is expected of them.It is "impossible—indeed improbable—that eventually science will providefarmers with a means of applying allplant needs with one dressing of a com-plete fertiliser, but .whether such aresult can be attained as yet w aquestion for those who are makingthorough tests of these new manures.At the present time these are blended in

fixed proportions of phosphate, potashand nitrogen, and it has yet to be provedthat these proportions are always suit-able. It may well be that differentclasses of pasture land will requiredifferent combinations of the manures,and. it will require • much experimental

'work to prove that side of the question.

FARM DRAINAGE.

OFTEN A SOUND INVESTMENT

COST OF MOLE DRAINING.

I The recent prolonged spell of wetweather, with, its consequent water-logging of pastures lias shown up weak-nesses in farm drainage, and has turnedthe thoughts of many farmers in the

! direction of improving existing condi-tions. The high cost of the materialsrequired for the draining makes this animpossibility for all but the veryintensively-managed farm, or for theorchard, and the solution of most of ourdrainage difficulties lies in the directionof mole draining. This type of drainagehas been used successfully in Englandfor more than a hundred years, but hascome into greater favour recently,largely as the result of improvements intractors.

Prior to tie advent of the tractor,mole draining liad to be carried out bymeans of a traction engine at fairlyheavy cost, or else through -winches,which "were too clow. Tractors, andespecially the heavier types, made thehauling of the mole plough easy "work,and reduced the cost of the work veryconsiderably. It ha 3 been estimatedin work conducted by the Fields Divi-sion of the Department of Agriculture,that the cost of mole draining works outat about 10/ per acre, where the farmerowns his own tractor. This estimatemakes allowances for depreciation at therate of 2/6 per hour—a generous esti-mate. Where the work has to be carriedout fey contract, with the contractortaking all the risks attached to tiieownership of plant, the cost would, ofcourse, be about doubled.

Do They Last?Most farmers, even if they have never

drained their land, have seen mole dramploughs, with their long deep share,and the little steel mole which makesthe hole at whatever depth the ploughis set. Those who have never drainedoften wonder whether these mud holes.will stay firm and really carry off thewater. On good stiff soil they often lasttwenty years or more, and even wherethe ground is not very suitable theyusually have a useful life of at leastthree to five years. Their value is greatlyenhanced if the various outlets are piped,for prevents the earth breaking

■ away at the outlets, clogging the end ofthe drain, and allowing the whole thingto become blocked up. The extra timeand cost of doingthis work is well repaidin the greater life of the drains, and-their greater • - - —» -

Mole drains are usually run off aboutnine feet apart, and the plough set toa depth of eighteen inches. Ploughingand all farm operations can be carriedout above the drains without the slight-est damage being done them. If onlyportions of a paddock are badly water-logged, itmight be advisable to place thedrains a little closer in this part, as thewater will be more quickly run off, andthe pastures thus freshened up earlier.

When To Drain.The winter and early months are the

best for doing drainage work, for theland is then wet and_ heavy, and thedrains can be more efficiently made. Oncemade they start and carry off the waterat once, and thus improve the pasturefor the coming season. If left until laterin the year when: the land is compara-tively dry it is not possible to see tneireffect so clearly.

Drainage has an effect in a number ofdifferent directions. In the first place,land that has had much weedy growtn,when well drained will grow

_

better

grasses. The reason for this is thatwhen much water is present in the soil itis cold. The removal of that waterallows the sun to warm the soil better,thus providing conditions more conduciveto the growth of better class pastureplants. Then, again, drainage has a veryimportant effect on the utilisation offertilisers. It is true that on badlv-drained .land better returns, are securedif fertilisers arß used than if they arenot, but it is equally true that still;better returns would accrue were drain-jage to be carried out.

Before drainage is carried out a gooddeal of thought is needed, for with moledrains it is essential that there be .-is

few "dips" in the drain as possible. Thesetend to let the water gather at one poiutand weaken the walls,eventually causing;collapse. The ideal therefore is to havethe drains running on a gentle andregular slope, but whether this is possibledepends very largely on the way the land

lies. In most cases a little carefulthought given before the work starts willallow reasonably good drains to be made.

Other Methods.In many cases low-lying portions of

farms are drained by means of large opendrains y and. a certain amount, of surfacedrainage carried out by small drainsleading to them. The wintry weatherwill have shown whether or not theseneed attention, or whether an extensionof the existing drains will improve thepastures. The hire or purchase of aditching machine will be warranted mthe case of some farms whose needswould be better served by this methodof draining.

In certain low-lying areas, especiallyon farms which lie behind river stop-hanks, it often happens during winterand spring that the drains becomeclogged, an dlarge quantities of waterlie for considerable periods. Veryefficient electrically worked pumps cannow be bought to handle this class orcountry, and" in some districts wherePower Boards offer a (specially low ratefor power used in pumping the work canhe carried out for next to nothing oncethe pump is installed. Some of these

pumps will handle up to 100,000 gallonsof water an hour, so that they willrapidly clear all the surplus water off thefarm, thus preventing waterlogging ofpastures and allowing better spring pro-duction.
