NOTES.

Xew houses and alterations have ac-counted for all the permits issued forthe past six weeks by the BiecartonBorongh Council.

An important proposal is that of theMelbourne Harbour Trust to ereet anew building at a cost of about £200,-OCO on the site of the Trust's' presentoffices on the north-eastern corner of theCustom House block. The architects,Messrs Sydney Smith, Ogg, and Serpell,have prepared sketch plans for a build-ing of eleven storeys, 152 feet in height.

Although d«lays hare oceurred in thearrival of certain classes of materialfor the new Auckland Railway station,,and the recent wet weather has bam-pered outdoor work, progress is proceed-ing in practically all directions. Allfloors have been completed and almostall are concreted. The construction ofthe walls and partitions, which arelined with briek, is proceeding rapidly,and it is hoped before long to have theroof on. Joinery for the interior fit-tings and panelling is being made inthe factory of the contractors, J. T.Julian and Son, Ltd.

Buildings to the value of £135,000are expected to be ereeted in Hamiltonin the near future. Several large con-tracts have already been let, while anumber of buildings are in course oferection. Included in the largest under-takings are the Courthouse, £28,000; theFranklin Hotel, £25,000; High SchoolHostel, £20,000; Mr L. W. W. Brown'sblock, £18,000; Bank of New Zealand,Hamilton North Branch, £10,000; Wai-kato Hospital Maternity Ward, £10,000;Waikatot Piocesan Girls' School, £6500.Other works to be taken in hand or incourse of erection include the Ham-ilton Technical School additions, shopsin Victoria street north, business blocksfor Booth and Chapman, Ltt'., J. J.Niven and Co., Ltd., and the McDonaldlee Cream Co., and extensions to theHamilton Library and several businesspremises.—"N.Z. Pecorator."

Whangarei marble for interior orna-mentation and Corcmandel granite forthe exterior walls are making their ap-pearance in the new Auckland railwaystation, in course of construction inBeach road. Of the four lofty columnswhich will form the most striking fea-ture of the spacious concourse, two havealready been -jggmpleted. Their ferro-concrete cores 'ire faced with highly-polished marble, pale yellow in colour,with a beautiful heavy grain. At pro-seat the real grandeur of these columnsis not visible, as each pillar Is earefu'lyencased in wood as a protection againstaccidental chipping "while workmen arestill busy in the station interior. Kx-treme precautions have to J»e taken topreserve the marble from damage, asthe deep grain renders the substanceunusually brittle.

Very little damage was done to Can-terbury school* by the earthquake, butthose on the West Coast suffered severe-ly. A return is being obtained by .theCanterbury Education Board fr«m itsforeman on the West Coast, giving anestimate of the cost of repairs. Thelatter will be proceeded with at onee,and an application for a grant to coverthe cost will be made to the Govern-ment liter. One of the chimneys at theEast Christchureh School was damaged,and at the Normal School an apex cop-ing stone beeame dislodged, and willhave to bo reset. This is all the dam-age of any consequence that has beenreported. It wil! be repaired oot of theBoard's o*r» funds. Tho Kaiapoi seboolwas slightly damaged, but tke Board'sarchitect <Mr G. Penlington) has re-ported that there is no danger in con-sequence. The Parnassus School wasalso slightly damaged.

Kitchen ceilings are very oftentroublesome to the painter. The warm,greasy atmosphere seems to permeatethe distemper to such an extent that itforms a permanent binder which ordin-ary- washing will not remove. Moreover,a blackening effeet is also caused bya reduction of opacity due to thisgreasy permeation. ■ A coat of size isoften resorted to ua mcana of prepar-ing such a ground for new distemper,but this is by no means a sure remedyand a great deal depends on its exactstrength. If used too strong, size willtend to promote peeling. It must beremembered that the temperature nearthe ceiling in a kitchen ig usually highaad this tendT to cause vigorous con-traction of size. Unless there happensto be sufficient suction to hold the sizefirmly, contraction "will pull it awayfrom the ceiling and sometimes evendrag away the old distemper, too. Ifthe superimposed ceiling white is strong-ly bound it will ftjeo exert a pull. Athin coat of flatting in place of thepreparatory siae will render a safe sur-face on whieh to apply the whitewash,and this will make a good job for thetime being. The old trouble is likelyto develop again, however, and perhapsIn a shorter while, because the suction,being partially stopped with the paint,the surface likely to promotecondensation, and, therefore, saturationof the distemper with the by-produetsfrom cooking. ' A preferable treatmentis to liiy? the ceiling, previously giv-ing a coat of weak sise. This givesan ideal surface for treatment withdistemper, aad when it has served itstime it can be stripped off and re-treated in the same war.

In the course of a recent progressreport on the erection of the new Cath-edral, the "Nelson Mail" states:—"Visitors to the new Cathedral con-struction works can now gain a veryfair idea of the building whichia slowly rising on the Church hill. Thearched doorway* of the main south en-trance and the east and west walls, withtheir windows, are now completed. Itrequires very little imagination to stripaway the tangle of scaffolding whichpartly hides the-walls and appreciatethe harmonious curves and clever work-manship that go to make np what willundoubtedly be a masterpiece of mod-orn ecclesiastical architecture. Thosewho have been following the bnildingoperations closely will know that con-siderable progress has been made thisyear. The east and west walls, with the»«eption of moulder parapets (3fthtgh) are oompletcd. The height ofthe windows in these walls gives one•a»« idea of the lofty nature of thecompleted building. The walls of theB»ptistry b»yt, bow more or less hid-den with staging, are also nearly eom-

HOUSE RENTS.

EXPIRY OF LEGISLATION.

THE LOCAL POSITION.

Notice was given in the House ofBepresentatives last week by Mr P.Fraser, M.P., of his intention to intro-duce the Bent Restriction ContinuanceAct. Following on the introduction ofa similar measure by Mr Fraser duringthe brief session in December last, theGovernment decided to continue theexisting legislation until August Ist,and Mr Fraser is now seeking an ex-tension of the provisions, but in a.

strengthened form.Mr Fraser has also given notiee to

ask the Minister for Labour whetherhe would at an early date introducelegislation extending the operation ofthe law for a longer period, and in con-sidering the question take into accountthe advisability of remoulding the wholelegislation in a more effective and per-manent form.

Aa enquiry was made into the localposition yesterday by "Builder," andthe replies given by land agents indi-cated that they are generally of opin-ion that no legislation is now necessary.

One member of the Beal Estate In-stitute said the demand for houses forwhich the rent did not exceed 35s perweek was very good with not many pro-positions offering, but even so, therewere sufficient, and an interference withthe law of'supply and demand as repre-sented by the Kent Restriction Act was

unjustified, however good the argu-ment in favour of suek a measuremight have been in war time.

Houses costing o\*er 35s per weekand up to £3 were more difficult tolet, as people enquiring for them wereharder to please, and such a residencehad to be desirable as a home beforea tenant could be obtained for it. •

The agent said any modest'sizeddwelling within the belts or near themlet very readily, and he had had sev-eral applications for a house of fourrooms handy to Bealey avenue !

A Keen Demand.There was a keen demand, as usual,

for houses the weekly rental of whichwas about 255, and a sufficient numberwas not offering. Any place rangingfrom 25b to 30s per week could belet almost at once. However, it wasbecoming recognised that there wassomething wrong with a house close inwhich could be obtained for 255.

Although the general demand forhouses to let was good, there was noclamour, and, speaking generally forall districts, there was a sufficiency.Not many houses were lacking tenantsbecause a landlord could not get hisfigure, showing that a good deal ofadjustment had taken place, and wasstill going on.

People naturally disliked moving inthe winter, when the maximum numberof discomforts could be expected, andnot many were changing their place ofresidence just now.

Flats were in fair demand, with notsufficient up-to-date ones offering. InChristchurch the term "flat" mightmean anything. Here a fiat was oftenan oW cottage, but such a place wouldnot be known by that name in othercentres. There had always been ftkeen demand for comfortable flats, andit appeared to be incresaing.

CHRYSLER BUILDING.

HEIGHT OF 68 STOREYS.

The placing of concret* and steelfoundations for the 68-storey ChryslerBuilding at the corner of Forty-secondstreet sod Lexington avenue, in NowYork City, has been followed by thesteady advance of the steel structure,bringing into being a colossal blacklace network which will dominate themid-town skyline until 1930. By thatdate the granite, marble, and brickwhich comprise the face of the build-ing will have covered it entirely. Theface of the building will be made ofblocks of Shastone granite; Georgiamarble will be used as high as the fifthfloor, from that point to the six-teenth floor and its cornice there willbe a basket weave pattern of Georgiamarble and white-faced brick. Fromthat point to the top of the buildingthe construction will be brick of aspecial design, in greys and blacks,the black being used to accentuate thevertical lines of the structure.

An interesting departure in sky-scraper construction will be the cop-ings and finials of cast aluminium.Spandrels between windows from thenineteenth to the twenty-second floorwill also be in this material.

Under the New York zoning latvs theset-back of the building was fixed atone to four. Sixteen storeys, measur-ing 182 feet, are without pet-back. Thefirst set-back is 18 feet on the nestseventeen storeys. The main volumeof the building is 56 storeys, includingthe tower, while the dome is twelvestoreys. *

A utilisation of the automobile itselfas a motif in the design of the Chrys-ler Building in a frieze at the thirtiethstorey marks a departure in modernarchitecture. In conventionalised de-sign the whole profile of a limousine,snowing body Ijnes, fenders, andwheels, will he depicted in sharply con-trasting white, grey, and black brick.The hub caps on the wheels will be ofaluminium, 14 inches in diameter. Thefrieze will terminate in a finial at thefour corners, where 10 foot longChrysler wings will stand out againstthe skies of Manhattan.

The dome of the building starts inoctagonal form, finally receding to thesummit in proper dome formation. Itwill be easily distinguished on the sky-line, being the only object of its par-ticular sioe and shape. The spire atthe top of the dome is in the form ofa great star with thirty points.

Flood lights, cleverly arranged be-hind the ray-like decorations whichspread out from the dnme at regularintervals, will plny_ brilliant lights onthe shining aluminium.

The sprir.c of 1930 Trill see theChrvskr Building completed—a newbusiness Mec«n in the heart of th©business world.

PREVIOUS EARTHQUAKES.SOME PECULIAR FEATURES.

Although earthquakes are frequentlyfelt in parts of New Zealand, therehave not been more than half a doaenof really alarming emphasis during thelast twenty-fire years. Simple or erensharp tremor* pass more or less un~noticed, tut an earthquake of eachmagnitude as that of June 17th leaves

a never-to-be-forgotten impression uponpeople who havo experienced it. Earth-quakes which are vividly rememberedin New Zealand are those of 1858 and1904. By the former the whole of thenorthern part of the South Inland wasviolently shaken. Nelson, Westpcrt,Blenheim, and other places within, thatarea experienced the full force of thedisturbance, which was of exceptionalduration. In Christchurch the tremorwas felt with particular severity, anda piece of th-3 spire of tho AnglicanCathedral came hurtling down to theground. The work of restorationraised a problem cf some difficulty. Itwas, however, eventually carried outwith great daring and skill. Theearthquake of 1904 was felt mostseverely in the Wellington Province,especially in the capital itself and inMusterton. In Wellington scores ofchimneys fell in disorder on cottageroofs, and many substantial buildingswere heavily strained. At the Govern-ment Life Insurance offices the damagecaused was very serious. A heavy pieceof masonry above the main entrancewas dislodged as the trembling build-ing swayed, and fell to the pathwaybelow—about a second after severalagitated people had burst through theentrance to tho cafe haven of thestreet.

I Two curious superficial features ofI New Zealand ■earthquakes for which noexplanation can apparently be offeredare: (1) their frequent local charac-ter; and (2) the variation of noise. Itis not unusual that a. tremor felt bythe residents of some place is not feltat neighbouring settlement*. Nor is itunusual that a tremor experienced atplaces relatively distant should appar-ently make no impression en theearth's surface intervening betweenthese points. The same absence ofregularity occurs in noise. At .timesthe noise accompanying the progress of :an earthquake is as ol the terrific re-verberations of distant thunder. Yet jat other times an earthquake will p*ss Inoiselessly on its way—more terrible Iperhaps becausn of its silence. Nor jwould there seem to be any relationbetween the violence with which the <earth may be shaken and the degree of Jaccompanying noise. There are tremors jthat are sharp and noisy—others. ;equally vigorous, yet unaccompanied jbv noise—some of which, warning _is jgiven by an approaching roar of in- ;describable sienificance—aom" which jcome unheralded and then the earthseems to have been grasned in somegigantic hand and hhaken like a pepoerpot. But of whatever variety the jtremor may be tho hint it pives of ;human futi 1it-.' never varies. It i* ialways emphatic.

There is a distinct demarcation in ■.New Zealand between the volcaniccountrv and the earthquake zone. In- ;

deed, it is not until the traveller mov- ;ing southward losos sight of the sraok- jing crest of Ngauruhoe that he reaches :thoee parts of tho Dominion in which itremors of the earth's crust are mwt jfrequent. These tremors are very set- }dom experienced at Auckland. Alongthe shores of Cook Strait, however, be-tween Mt. Egmont and Wellington,they are fairly regular. It is at pointsadiaeent to the northern and southernsides of this waterway that theheaviest tremors have been recorded, fN<?w Zealand's earthquakes are invari- 1ably heaviest and much more n tuner- |ous within about miles each sid©of the Strait. j

AMUSEMENTS.

CRYSTAL PALACE.

The story of Britain's world-famed mystery

ship*, known as the "Q ships," is now dis-closed to all and sundry, in film form, underthe title of "Q Ships," sb.ov.-in3 »t theCrystal Palace this week. Every incidentthat is re-acted for the camera is one thatactually took place. The film is a greatachievement for the British screen, show; igeven such remarkable figures as Lieut.-Com-mander Auten and Lieut.-Commander Sanders.

EVERYBODY'S THEATRE.

Blackmail, a theme beloved of the no.too modern film producer, ia woven into "ARomance of the Underworld." one of themain pictures on the new programme atEverybody's Theatre this week. It ;S a realdrama of the old type, with all the familiarinsredients.

The other feature is a clever mystery fi mthat keeps the audience guessing right to t..eend.

LIBERTY THEATRE.

The main item on a varied bill-of-fare. atthe Liberty Theatre this week is the Foxmovietone "Fazil." It is a3 intensely dra-matic as anything which has so far appearedin Christchurch. Charles Farrell as theArabian prince, and Greta Nissen as the exot cParisienne, show with great skijl the enigmatic difference which is supposed to exist

between the Eastern and the Western mmd.In addition to "Fazil" there are a number

of short features. George Robey is seen inthe most convincing realism and the mostamusing comedy. Beatrice Lillie provides anintensely funny skit on the average vaude-ville turn, and the Kentucky Jubilee Singersare heard in several plantation songs. Apicture and sound record of the funeral ofEarl Haig is also presented.

GRAND THEATRE.

The management of the Grand Theatrehare this week provided a most interestingprogramme of pictures for the entertainmentof their patrons. Heading the bill is "FourSons," one of the best pictures yet shownhere. The story opens in a little Germanvillage, permeated with the pastoral atmos-phere, and characterised by contentment andhappineßS.

The second picture is a sparkling one, en-tiled "Come to My House." The usual num-ber of supports complete the programme.

STRAND THEATRE.

A brilliant version of the stage play, "ThePhysician," featuring Miles Mander, ElgaBrink, and l3n Hunter, heads the excellentbill at the Strand Theatre this week. Thestory is based on the theory that a dipso-maniac can never permanently regain mentalcontrol.

"The Escape," with Virginia Valli andWilliam Rusßell in the leading roles, is oneof the most graphic of photoplays. Alsoon the programme are a comedy, a topical,and a sporting film.

FINE PROGRAMME.

« GIVE AND TAKE"TALKIE.

COMEDY FOR LIBERTY.Liberty Theatre again announces the pre-

sentation of a splendid talking programme.In "Give and Take," a Universal comedy,

which stars George Sidney and Jean Her-eholt, there will be seen and neard, forthe first time in Christchurch, the first pic-ture that is very nearly an all-talkingfeature. In a quaint and humorous taleof business and love, George Sidney, thedroll Jewish comedian, is heard m amus-in" and original lines; Jean Hersholt, aDanish actor, is scarcely less funny, andSharon Lynn and George Lewis have im-

portant roles of a more romantic nature.The story concerns the activities, quarrel-mgs, and alliances of the two friendlyenemies who control a fruit-preserving fac-tory; and when one of the sonß comes fromcollege with newer and brighter ideas, thepeaceful, unfnancial concern is thrown intouproar. The usual supporting programmeof short talking and sound subjects willalso be offered. Theso are scarcely less in-

teresting than the "big" picture itself. Themost interesting item on this part of thebill is the recording of last year's service

at the Cenotaph on Armistice Day. Hereon the screen are seen and heard the massedhands of H.M. Brigade of Guards, thearrival of H.M. the King, Big Ben chimingthe hour of 11 o'clock, the "Last Post,""Reveille," the National Anthem, and, fin-ally, the march past of troons, ex-servicemen,and V.A.D.'s. Fox Movietone News, withthe news of the world in si?ht and sound,is another good film, and an instrumentaland vocal item and two short talkingcomedies will complete this varied andattractive programme. Box plans are at TheBristol Piano Company to-day, and seatsmay be reserved there.

THREE BIG PICTURES.

"DETECTIVES," "TARZAN,*' ANDHOOT GIBSON FOR GRAND.

The management of the Grand Theatreannounces a particularly entertaining oro-jiimmc of pictures for next week. Headingthe bill is the comedy. "Detectives, -' whichstars Karl Dane and George K. Arthur. AHoot Gibson Western thriller, "The LariatKid," will provide thrills, while the firstchapter of the serial play, "'Tarean theMighty," from the sensational book byEdgar Rice Burroughs, will complete thethree feature-length pictures. "Tarzan theMighty" is a really spectacular and vividreproduction of the original. Prank MerriHplays Tarzan, the child reared by apes, andthe scenes in the African jungle are remark-able. Patrons are advised to book theirseatc at Th 3 Bristol Piano Company, wherethe box plans are now open.

THEFT.

(PSSSS ASSOCIATIOV TBLMBX*.)

WELLINGTON, July 3.Frederick Percival Towler, aged 28,

a labourer, for the theft of a suit ofclothes from a room mate in an hotel,was sentenced to two months' imprison-ment.

"RIO RITA" SEASON.

BOX PLANS OPEN TO-DAY.

The bos plans for the big musical comedyevent of 1-929 to be presented at the XewOpera House next Monday evening by SirBeniamin and Mr John Fuller's "Rio Rita"Musics': Comedy Company, will open at TheBristol a: 9 a.m. to-day. Special arrange-

ments have been made to cope with the rashwhich is certain to ensue when the box officeopens, and a Queue will be formed to enablepatrons to be attended to with expedition.

In "Rio Rita" is seen one of the best castsover assembled on the musical comedy stage,and a ballet and chorus deserving of thehighest praise. Gladys Moncrieff is at herabsolute best. Les Pearce is an excellentjuvenile lead, with a fine Toice and manlyappearance. Janette Gilmore is a dancingcomedienne of rare quality, and Dave Mali?:,and Charles Xorman constitute an excellentcomedy team. "Rio Kits" is a magnificentproduction, the beautiful scenic effects, light-ing, gcrsreous dressing are delightful, whilstthe story, containing a biending of love,with the introduction of the passion of theMexican and the spirit of the Texas Rangers,adds a thrill that all amusement-lovers linein musical comedy. In describing the openingperformance at Wellington the critic of the

"Evening Post" writes:—"Misa Moncrieffwas given a rousing welcome back to Wel-lington, and she bowed and bowed again inacknowledgment. She looked superb in athoroughly congenial part, throwing herselfwholly into the romantic spirit of the playand sinking as freshly as ever, and recoiledagain and again. Mr Leslie Pearce. asCaptain of the Ranirere, was the beau-idealof the lover in musical plays, the hero, nodoubt, of every impressionable girl in thehouse, for he is a fine figure of a man. good-looking, and sings as a finished artist. Asto the comedians, what can be said of JanetteGilmore t She is unique, a thoroughbredamong comediennes, with a style and per-

sonality all her own; also perfect little «ure,a pretty and expressive little face: and sheis a neat and clever acrobat, hifrh-kicker. and

roller-skater. To her by right belongs thetitle 'Vita! Spark' borne by a famousbut not so attractive, English artist of otherdays. If there is a fault to be found with'Rio Rita' it is that there is too nvienfor the money. No time was lost on the

stage, no scene was allowed to drag, and theaudience gave no hint of .having had suffi-cient by the time the curtain fell at 11.10.

"Rio Rita" will no doubt repeat its experi-

ence here as elsewhere: Crowded housesnightly.

"THE JAZZ SINGER."

THEATRE ROYAL'S SUCCESSFULTALKIE.

Applause in a picture theatre has been an

unheard of thing up till now, but with theinnovation of the talkies it is becom.ng quite

the order of the evening; and the largeaudience that was present at the firsting of "The Jazz Singer" in the TheatreRoyal on Friday was generous in vU ap-plause. Like "The Bellamy Trial, TheJaw Singer" ifi only part talkie, only Itliemore outstanding scenes being made aud.oie.It is a reraarkaole picture, and provides a.rich study in contrasts—a clashing c!

ancient religious tradition* and ultra modernideas. Old Cantor Rubinowite, the main-stay of the Synogogue, meant his son Jakieto grow up and become the sixth Cantor in

succession, but when he found his son singing jam in a saloon his world came tumblingabout his ears like a pack of carde. Jakie,having an understanding mother, runs awayfrom home and becomes a singer cf jaiz.And here Al Jolson assumes the role of thenow grown-up Jakie, or Jack Robin aa becalls himself, and we hear him make hisfirst public appearance. It is in a crowdedcafe, and his singing captivates his audience,for there ie "a tear in his voice." MaryDale (May McAvoy). a dancer, inspires himuntil he i« given a chance on Broadway.Then he learns that his father is criticallyill. and all the tradition* of hit race surgeup in his heart, as if impelling him 10 re-turn to his father's synagogue to sing thesongs of Israel, for it is the Day of Atone-ment, and there ia no Cantor. It it adramatic climax, and well developed.

The Pathe news reel ia a very fine pro-duction, and with the sound accompanimentis vivid and real.

NEW OPERA HOUSE.

There was cause for rejoicing amongtheatregoers in Christchurch when it waslearnt that George Wallace had extended hisrevue season at the Opera House for a week.Hie latest revue, "Bald Heada," is bright andeven thrilling, aH& strikes a different tinefrom those be has already presented in Christ-church. The humour is clean and spon-taneous, the scenery and dress effects colour-ful and varied, the dancing novel and gym-nastic and the plot intricate and clever.

The first half of the programme, as usual,consists of several clever turns, which aresure to please. Meredith and Romaine. astwo "millionaires," are splendid, and thechoruses and dances of the Six Rascals wellexecuted. Marshall Crosby's fine voice iahoard to advantage in "Somewhere Southof Shanghai," and Neva Carr-Glyn sings"Someday, Somewhere." The two Dudleysindulge in "Briirht Harmony and:- SnappyCrosstalk." and do it extremely welLGeorge Wallace and his Flaming Youths en-tertain for twenty minutes or so with thetalented Red Beacham at the piano. Thisis an unusually fine act, and proved verypopular with last night's audience. Themusical score includes the following:South," "Anything You Say." "Hello. Mon-treal," "A Perfect Day," "My BlueHeaven," and "Rhapsody Russe."

It is safe to say that George Wallace'sfarewell programme is one of the best hehas yet produced, and good houses shouldbe in evidence every night.

CIVIC THEATRE.

Fresh from her triumphs in "Trail of '98.""Resurrection," and "Ramona," Dolores delRio scores perhaps »n even greater successin "Bevenge," an excellent production at theCivic Theatre.

As Roscha, the untamed, Miss del Rio playsher part to perfection, while Leroy Mason,as Jorga, makes m splendid bandit. The pic-ture is a vivid tale of gipsy life in theCarpathians, where Roscha it living withher father Costa, the bear-tamer. She is agipsy girl of varying moods who tames b.-ars

and teaches them to dance, but this doneshe loses all interest and despises them. Thebears all tamed, she grows dissatisfied, therebeing no one to fear, no or.e to hste, andno one to love.

An unusual prologue is presented prior tothe screening of "Revenge." The stage repre-sents a gipsy camp, with caravan and all com-plete. The curtain rises on Anne Stephensonand Harold Prescott, as gipsies smoking overthe fire. Miss Stephenson's fine voice washeard to advantage in the "GJP'J r*

Song" and "Revenge," while Mr Prescottsang: "Lolita," and with Miss StepbeDsougave an excellent rendering of "A Night inVenice."

The second picture on the programme, en-titled "The Lady of Victories." is a beautifulfilm in coloured photography, based uponthe life of the Empress Josephine and Napo-leon Bonaparte. Supports consist of anews reel, an N.Z. publicity film and a goodcomedy, "The Second Hundred Years.

Mr Arthur Lilly has selected mus.c suitable to the character of the films screened,

and the playing of the orchestra is tn keep-ing with the items chosen. As a musicalinterlude, "Maritana" met with aa excellentreception from tb« audience.

CITY COUNCIL ACTIVITIES.

INSPECTION BY WORKSCOMMITTEE.

The second of the monthly inspec-tions by members of the Works Commit-tee of the City Council, of reading andother works in hand, was made yester-day. On loan and unemployment re-lict work 3 the Council has -c'J men atwork, and yesterday's tour showed thatthere was considerable activity in thematter of the improvement of roads.

At the continuation of Moorhouse ave-nue eastward unemployed are at workregrading the road, which is to besealed.

A start has been made or. the recon-struction of Waltham road. As gasmains are being laid at the northernend, the reconstruction work has beenbegun at the southern end.

Mowbray street, the first street inthe City to be reconstructed in con-crete, was considered to be standingthe test of the heavy traffic remark-ably welL The condition of Carlylestreet was seen to be such as to war-rant the City Engineei'» anxiety to getit reconstructed as soon as Moorhouseavenue is finished.

Lyttelton and Rose streets, Spreydon,were visited. The metalling of Lyttel-ton street is practically completed fromStourbridge to Rose streets, and thesides are being graded over the mainsection from Stourbridge street to Lin-coln road. Thf grading of Rosestreet is almost completed, and it isbeing given a coat of second-hand metalfrom Moorhouse avenue, after which itwill be completed witbj li-ineh metalfrom the quarry.

Siccarton Sou.A stop of a few minutes was made

at Riccarton road, near the entranceto Hagley park. Comment was madethat owing to the steepness of theslope to the gutters on both sides, fiveor six feet of roadway were made use-less. The City Engineer said that untillevels were taken, it could not be saidwhether the throwing of the presentfootways into the carriageway and pro-viding new footways in. the Park, wouldremove the necessity for altering thepresent level of the road. He express-ed himself as in favour of the sugges-tion that new footways on each sideof the road should be provided in thePark. Cr. Beaven said he understoodthat the Tramway Board would not btable to alter its tracks for seven oreight years. The City Engineer saidhe was informed that "the Board woulddo so in 1933.

The progress of the work on Moor-house avenue was then noted. Theparty arrived at the northern cornerof Colombo street and the avenue tosee a start being made with the layingof concrete on the northern portion be-tween Colombo streets and Hagley ave-nue.

Carlton Bridge.Such good progress has been made

with the new Carlton bridge that theCity Engineer remarked that unlessvery bad weather was experienced, itwas possible that it would be finishedby the end of September. When theparty were at the bridge they saw theconcrete being poured into the para-pets on the downstream side.

Malvern street, in North St. Albans,was next visited. The formation andchannelling have been ocmpleted, and thefoundation of second-hand metal ia al-most finished.

After Malvern street the next workvisited was the footpaths being madein North Richmond, a convenience thatthe residents have waited for a lengthyperiod. These paths are in differentstages of completion in North Avonroad, North Parade, and in Medwaystreet.

The inspection concluded with a visitto the riverside boulevard, the workon both sides of the river being viewed.Near the terminus of the Dallingtontramway the work in hand, which willdo away with a dangerous eoraer, waainspected.

Those who attended the inspectionwere: Crs. F. E. Cooke (chairman ofthe Works Committee), A. W. Beaven,

E. Parlane, A. E. Armstrong, and theCity Engineer (Mr A. E. Galbraith).

COAL SHORTAGE.

MINES WORKING WITH REDUCEDSTAFFS,

It is an easy matter to sell coalthese days. This is doe to the indus-trial trouble in Australia, and tothe fact that most, if not all, of theWest Coast mines are working short-handed. The winter demands of house-holders cannot be met.

The Wcstport Coal Company's mineis not working at full capacity anda similar position obtains at tb«Westport-Stockton mine owing, it isstated, to the reluctance of the mento resume because of oontinued slightshocks of earthquake. Coal is beingobtained from the Dobson and Black-ball mines, but in insufficient quan-tities to meet the position.

It is satisfactory to learn that tb«tonnage through the Otira Tunnelcontinues to be heavy. On Monday1750 tons came from "west to east. OnTuesday 2250 tons and yesterday asimilar'quantity. A fair proportion ofthe freight was timber, but unfor-tunately so far an Christchureh is con-cerned a good deal of the loading wasfor places south of Christchureh.

It is stated that one concern deal-ing in coal was able to secure 500 tonsof African coal from Dunedin, whichwill be sold to ease the demand inChristchureh.

TIMARU AND SOUTH CANTERBURYNEWS.

TDIARU.

UNEMPLOYED DEPUTATION.

A deputation of 70 unemployed waited(on the Mayor of Timaru (Mr W. Ang-land), in the Council Chambers yester-day morning, tu urge that the BoroughCouncil should endeavour to carry outWorks which would provide employment.In the course of his reply the Mayornaid that the Council vv3s doing its■best, but at; yet not one peuny of theproposed loan was in hand, asit had only just gone to the LoansBoard for sanction. If the loan were

sanctioned, tbo Council would be ableto provide employment, but if not, the■work available would be restricted., The principal spokesman of the de- jputation (Mr I). Henderson) said that |the unemployment position was very .acute, lie asked that the names of the jspeakers be not published, but that they"bo referred to as Numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, or6.

The Mayor remarked that he couldHot agree to that suggestion. If a depu-tation waited on him it was only rightthat the Press should know the speak-ers' names. Ho asked the deputationto name the speakers.

Mr Henderson repeated the request,fcut the Mayor refused to agree to it.

Mr Woodward: As a member of thedeputation which waited on Mr ClydeCarr, M.P , on Monday, which askedliim, in his official position, to do some-thing to relieve the acute

The Mayor: I don't, want to know%hat you said to Mr Carr. I want toknow what you want to say now.

Mr Woodward (continuing): It wasstated by the deputation to Mr Carrthat they had been told

The Mayor: Again, I say that Idon't want to know what you saidelsewhere.

Mr Woodward than said that they%anted to know if there was any chanceof getting different information thanthe usual "call again to-morrow."

Mr S. Johnston said that he hadlead an account in the "Timaru Post"which stated that there were 100 un-employed in the town. He had beendown to the wharves and places wherothe unemployed were to be found andhad got a list of 237. Could anythingbe done for single men? The singlemen certainly gave preference to mar-Tied men, but something must be done.The single men had to live in the"winter as well as in the summer.

Mr H. Innes asked why W. Tuttonhad been given employment by theCouncil only six days after he had fin-ished at the freezing works, where behad been earning £6 7s 6d weekly dur-ing the season.

The Mayor: The Council's policy isthat married men with tho largest fami-lies are given preference, according tothe number of their dependents.

Mr Innes: Another man, named J.McCombs, who was engaged by theCouncil, had received £5 10s a week atthe freezing works. I would like toknow how ho filled in the Council's cardregarding the time he had been unem-ployed. Don't you take any notice ofwhether men have been out of work formonths or only a few"days?

The Mayor: Yes. Give me the names•nd I'll see to it.

Mr G. Rodgers: You have said thatloan inopey of £10,300 was in hand.

The Mayor (smiling): I'm very sorry,we haven't. If you read the true re-port in the "Herald" you would seethe position.

Mr Rodgers: The Borough Engineer(Mr Fox) told two men that only £7OOwas in hand. The point I want to getat is that we want a definite state-ment—not different ones from twopeople.

Mr W. Goodall said that at the startof the relief work he had complainedof a man who did not have the resi-dential qualification being engaged. Thespeaker had been registered for fiveweeks and had been out of work sinceEaster.

The Mayor: You have been working«m the wharves, haven't you? You workon the Auckland boats f

Mr Goodall: Only two. From thetime 1 made complaints I feel that Ihave been victimised.

Mr Angland: What do you mean!Mr Goodall: I have not been given

Work.Mr Angland: That is untrue.Mr Goodall: How is it that a man

named Wolff, at the freezing works, gota ticket?

The Mayor: I'll see into that. Whatfurther complaints have you?

Mr Goodall: I would like to see nofurther victimisation.

The Mayor: I don't want you touse that word here. As long as I amMayor I will see fair play to everyone.

A member of the deputation askedhow much of the proposed loan moneywould be available for unskilled labour.

The Mayor: A good deal. You havefrot 70 men here to-day. How manymarried men are thore amongst you?Are there mare than 12?

In a show of hands 38 married menWere counted.

The Mayor: There are single and mar-ried men here who do not live in theBorough.

Three men put up their hands.Mr Angland: How many single men

have been in Timaru three months?On a show of hands the Mayor count-

ed 21, but the principal spokesman num-bered 26.

Mr Henderson (addressing theMayor): You're not seeing too well thismorning.

The Mayor: I am not seeing double—that is a moral.

A short discussion on the proposednew conveniences followed, and theBorough Engineer (Mr T. O. Fox) toldthe men that one of the objects of theirerection was to absorb some of the|skilled labour. '

In reply to a question as to the j•mount available for unskilled labour|from the £3300 for the Southern outfall•cheme, the Mayor said that they weremot yet sure that they were getting theloan. It was no use telling the depu-tation until they had secured the loan.

In reply to the members of the depu-tation the Mayor said that ever sincethe new Council had come into officeit had done its best to find work thatwould give a good return both to thoseemployed and the ratepayers. TheCouncil had applied for a loan of £10,300for relief work. At present 53 marriedmen were engaged on borough work outof 83 on the books. He was there tosee that the unemployed got work, butat the same time ho wanted them togive a return for their money. Theease stated by the deputation that menwere asked to "come back to-morrow,"was not right. If the Loans Boardgranted the application for the £10,300it would create further employment,but if it did not the result would limitthe work available.

The deputation then withdrew.

SEVEN WEEKS' TOUR.

HON. W. H. TRIGGS'S IMPRES-SIONS.

(F3OM OtTB 07fS COSBESPOITDEKT.)

LONDON, May 23.The Hon. W. H. Triggs, M.L.C.,

and Mrs TTiggs liave arrived in Lon-don via Australia and Soutb Africa.They left Wellington on January 18thand spent seven weeks in South Africaand Rhodesia. Landing at Durban,they visited the Victoria Falls, theZimlabwe Ruins, the Matoppos (World'sView and Cecil Rhodes's burial place),and "stopped over" at Maritzburg,Johannesburg, Kimberley, Bulawayo,and Port Elizabeth, whence they tra-velled by the picturesque GardenRoute to Cape Town, their port of de-parture for England. Altogether theytravelled upwards of 4000 miles byrail, in addition to hundreds of milesby motor.*

Mr Triggs was disappointed at miss-ing the Union Parliament, which hadrisen when he reached Cape Town. T*.emembers had dispersed to their con-stituencies to prepare for theing elections. Mr Edgar, Vice-Pre&Kdent of the Victorian legislativeCouncil, who was also visiting S/uthAfrica, and Mr Triggs were entertainedat luncheon by local members/of theEmpire Parliamentary Association, MrJaggar, an ex-Minister of Railways.and chairman of the executke ofE.P.A.. being in the chair. Mr BYiggsspeaks very gratefully of the kindnessshown to him and his wife bV Mrdough, C.M.G., Clerk to the Senateand secretary of the local branlh ofthe Association.

National Questions.When the visitors arrived in 3> rban

there was great agitation over theTreaty with Germany, and Mr 1riggswas pressed for an interview 01 thesubject by the Natal "Merc iry,"which opposed the Treaty with ;reatvigour and ability. As the matte wasnot simply a question of local p< liticsbut affected the whole Empire, MrTriggs considered that he, as a NewZealand, was entitled, if not in dutybound, to say something of the r< gret,not to say disapproval, with whio theTreaty would be received in th« Do-minion, and gave the interview : skedfor. Interviewed also by the 1 'atal"Witness," Mr Triggs gave an ot :lineof the recent legislation in New Zea-land in regard to the feeble-minck I—asubject which is exciting a good del] ofinterest in South Africa, wherethousands of "poor whites" constituteda serious problem. These are all "back-veldt " Dutch, and Mr Triggs came tothe conclusion that the inter-breedingof persons more or less mentally defi-cient was to a large extent the originof the trouble. This ex-journalist fromNew Zealand was nlso interviewed bythe Bloemfontein "Friend," a veryablv-conducted journal, and the Cape"Times," a paper with an Empire re-putation. To the latter he gave someaccount of the hospital system in NewZealand. This is also a question ofimmediate interest in South Africa,as the system at present in vogue,which depends largely on voluntarycontributions, is not working satisfac-torily. .

.

Mr Triegs had many enquiries asto the welfare of the members of theNew Zealand Parliament who visitedSouth Africa, especially Sir John andLady Luke, who evidently made manyfriends during their visit.

Much business wastransacted relating to the district, andit was decided to ask the New Brigh-ton Borough Council to giveimmediate attention to Oraddockstreet, which is in need of urgentrepairs. It was decided to thank theCouncil for other matters it had giventheir attention to. It was moved byMr S. Grammer that the ProgressLeague enter a strong disapprovalof the Tramway Board levy-ing South Brighton in regard to arat© towards the Seaview road Bridge.This part of Brighton is at presentpaying for a bridge at Bridge streetwhich, with a tramway rate and aninadequate bus service, would be a bigdrawback and a burden to this part ofSouth Brighton.

IN BANKRUPTCY.ESTATE OF F. G. GIBBS.

MBfiTING OF CREDITORS.

In 1927 Frank George Gibbs iras

running a clover-shelling plant inRangiora. He was solvent but hadlittle capital. Business was not toobright, and he thought be might im-prove hi? position by buying a thresh-ing machine and running that as well,but he had to do it on borrowed cap-ital. Later he had to give up theplant and lose what he had paid onit. A mill that he borrowed from hisbrother was burnt after he had had itsix days and in June last after he. hadbeen sent to gaol for being drunk incharge of a car, the Farmers' Co-opera-tive Association, who held a chattelsecurity over his old plant, sold it for£l6O. Yesterday Gibbs. who met hiscreditors, maintained that the planthad been sacrificed and that he wouldhave been able to pay a good dividendbut for the action of the Farmers'Co-operative Association.

Bankrupt's financial statementshowed that debts, all owing to un-secured creditors, amounted to £4476s Bd. The assets were estimated at£3O. consisting of stock-in-trade atRangiora. thus leaving a deficiency of£417 6s Bd.

The principal unsecured creditorswere:—Vacuum Oil Co., £32 6s 4d;G. McClatchie, coal merchant, £BS18s Id; J. D. Discaciati, coal mer-chant, Rangiora. £45 9s 3d; J. Stal-ling, blacksmith, Rangiora, £4O 4s 3d;HorrelPs Garage, Ransriora, £l7 17s;National Mortgage, £l3 7s 9d; SeftonSupply Stores, £29 2s 8d; Johnstonand Son, hardware merchants. Rangi-ora, £ll 18s 3d; Kaiapoi ShippingCo., Rangiora, £l2 6s 2d; J. Fits-gibbon, butcher, Rangiora, £lO 13s;Parrott and Co., Rangiora, £l4 16slOd; N. M. Bouvett, baker, Rangiora,£l3 5s 7d; C. S. Stevenson, butcher,Rangiora, £2l 183 4d; J. J. Niven,engineers, Christchurch, £lO 5s 4d; F.lull, Cashel street, Christchurch,£l3 4s

In his statement, bankrupt saidthat, in 1927, he was in business inRangiora, clover shelling. He wasthen quite solvent, but business wasnot bright and he invested in anAmerican threshing machine. Heworked the thresher that year with atraction engine and was fairly suc-cessful. He paid £l5O on account ofthe purchase money, of which MrsGibbs lent him £7O, and he also paidoff the last £SO owing on his originalplant. In 1928 he went in for a trac-tor on which he paid £SO deposit,which Mrs Gibbs also lent him. Thetractor was not a success, and he wasforced to bring the mill in early inthe season, as it was not paying. Itwas not a good season and there wasmore opposition. He was forced to re-pay a loan of. £BO from Mr Kestevenwhich he had borrowed earlier in theyear to carry on with. He gave upthe American thresher and traetor,losing what he had paid on them. Thatleft him only with his original plantand he was then about £3OO behind.He tried to raise a loan on the plantto.pay some of his debts, but failed.About this time he got into troublethrough drink and worry. However,his brother offered to lend a mill onthe hire-purchase system, and he con-sidered that, with a fair season, hecould have pulled up. He had themisfortune to get the mill burnt afteronly six days' work, and this lost himbetween £4OO and £SOO, which he con-sidered he could • have made with it.He had nearly completed negotiationsfor the sale of the plant, but on May18th got into trouble through beingdrunk m charge of a car. The Farmers'Co-operative Association seized the bulkof the plant on June 18th. Later, theFarmers' Co-operative Association soldpractically the whole plant for £l6O,which he considered a gross under-value. _ His estate would Tissve beenable to pay £ good dividend but forthe action of this firm, which hadcaused a heavy loss to the other credi-tors. Properly handled, the plantshould have realised £350 at least, butthe Farmers' Co-operative Association'saction left him no recourse but tofile.

The Official Assignee (Mr A. W.Waiters) said it appeared to him thatthe Farmers' Co-op. had been undera misapprehension as to their securitywhen bankrupt was convicted inCourt.

Mr H. K. Kippenberger, who ap-peared for bankrupt, said he did notwant to impeach the action, but theFarmers' Co-operative Association werebound to do this before the bankruptfiled or their security might have beenendangered.

Mr Watters said he thought theymight have seized the plant withoutselling it.

Mr J. Skilhng, a creditor, saidbankrupt had a good clover run andwould have done well had he gone onwith it instead of going in for athreshing machine as well, which heknew little about.

Mr Kippenberger: Don't you thinkit was hard luck having his millburnt?

Mr Stalling:'lt just depends.Air Watters said bankrupt s position

was partly his own fault as\ evidentlyhe should have kept to clover shellingand left threshing alone. He had hadlittle capital to start with and hadgot into the hands of money-lender.

On the motion of Mr H. C. D. vanAsch, who appeared for the FarmersQc-operative Association, the estate

left in the hands of ; the OfficialAssignee.

NO LAND RETURNS.

I WELL-KNOWN MEN FINED.

■ln-the Magistrate's Court yesterdaymorning two well-known City men werefined by Mr H. P. Lawry, S.M., forfailing to furnish to the Commissionerof Taxes returns of land valued at£SOO or over. „,,.,<

It was stated, in the case of VValterEdwin Simes, that no return had beenfurnished since 1926, and the taxablevalue of tho land concerned was £4030.

Mr M. E. Simes, who appeared forWE Smies, said the defaults in pre-viousVears had been owing largely tothe defendant's absence from NewZealand, and it was not a case of ob-stinacy or neglect. The present posi-tion was that part of the. land hadbeen sold, and even now the measure-ments of the land involved were notdefinitely known. A return had beensent in before the summons was issued.

In the case against Albert JohnOrchard it was stated that the valueof the land was £15,245.

Mr W. R- Lascellea. who appearedfor him said Dr. Orchard did notrealise that he was causing the Depart-ment trouble. He looked on the de-fault assessment as an alternative to

the land tax himself, andthought that if he met the default as-sessment he was meeting the require-

ments of the Department. When thelast returns were due he had beenseriously ill.

Defendants were each fined £2 andcosts

Luggage for a Long Stay.

The indecisive result of the GeneralElection in Britain might be said tohave entitled the Labour Party to paya week-end visit to the TreasuryBenches. The items mentioned in theKing's Speech at the opening of Par-liament suggest, however, that theParty has arrived with the intentionof making a very long stay. It hasbrought not only luggage but furni-ture, and a good deal of it. WhenPalmerston was once asked before theopening of Parliament what domesticlegislation would be mentioned in theSpeech from the Throne, he repliedthat there was no need for any suchlegislation. To-day the scene haschanged. The programme of the newLabour Government (as expressed inthe King's Speech) runs through al-most the whole gamut of domestic pro-blems —unemployment, transport, de-pressed export trades, economic de-velopment of the Empire, agriculture,fishing, and migration. The coal tradeis to be reorganised, factory legisla-tion is to be amended and consolidated,slums are to be cleared away andhousing provided, national insuranceand pensions schemes are to be sur-veyed, the electoral law is to beamended, the highly controversialTrade Disputes and Trade UnionAmendment Act of 1927 is to beamended; and as though this were notsufficient, the enormous and desperatelyvexed question of liquor laws is tobe investigated. All this comes on topof a series of problems of foreign policythat are extraordinarily important.The new Government has on itshands simultaneously the Reparationsquestion, negotiations with Russia.negotiations with America and the restof the world over disarmament, andthe question whether, and on whatterms, the Empire should sign theoptional clause of International Arbi-tration. It can hardly ever have hap-pened in the history of Britain thatthere has been such a huge programmeof domestic and international businessbrought to the attention of a Parlia-ment. The domestic programme issufficient to occupy the House foryears, but whatever one may think ofMr MacDonald's proposals in detail,he cannot be blamed for coming for-ward so boldly. He knows perfectlywell that he is in office by consent ofthe Liberals, but he realises thatnothing is to be gained by timorousness.It is perfectly sound mass psychologyto take it for granted that the Gov-ernment will have at least a fairlylong term of office, even though someof its proposals are highly controver-sial, and will invite the hostility now ofthe Party's own Left Wing, and nowof a Conservative-Liberal combination.In the meantime, however, both in theCommons and the Lords, a spirit ofsweet reasonableness prevails. In theCommons Mr Baldwin has greeted theGovernment's programme in mostfriendly style, promising that therewill be no factious opposition, whilein the Lords the spokesman for theOpposition has said that certain ofthe proposals might have come fromthe late Government. Mr MacDonald'sieply shows the same spirit. He won-ders how far it is possible to considerthemselves more as a Council of Stateand less as "arrayed regiments facing" each other." His only really definitestatement about policy is his declara-tion that his Ministry is determinednot to renew safeguarding—a decisionthat is certain to be fiercely challenged.We have, of course, seen these angelicmoods before, and it is not wise ornecessary to take them very seriously.

A Warning to Australia.We print this morning the report of aspeech by Mr Bruce in which he warnsAustralians that they must be pre-pared to meet "the wholesale dumping" of American goods into British coun-" tries in the near future." Such apossibility naturally raises the questionof Australia's economic fitness to with-stand competition of this sort, and MrBruce himself says that there is noneed for alarm. Probably there is not,but certain economic reforms will benecessary if Australia is to enter intoanything in the nature of a trade war.Australia's general economic conditionmay be sound, but anyone familiarwith the report of the British EconomicMission which investigated the matterrecently would hesitate to call it quitesatisfactory. The main trouble is onethat is also worrying thinking peoplein this country—the fact that produc-tion costs are too high, particularly inthe primary industries. The membersof the British Mission were not dog-matic Free Traders, and took care topoint out that a young country maybe justified in imposing a tariff for thesake of security in war or the promo-tion of a diverse economic life; but intheir report they say frankly that " the"combined operation of the tariff and" the Arbitration Acts has raised costs"to a level which has laid an exces-" sive and possibly even a dangerous"load upon the primary industries."In order to keep clear of politics theCommission did not urge a change inAustralia's fiscal policy, but was con-tent to suggest an enquiry to ascertainthe incidence and economic effects ofthe present tariff. The danger is,however, that the prospect of a floodof American imports may stamped*

Australian politicians into recklesstariff increases. Mr Bruce seems tosuggest such a course when he saysthat Australia, " being a good Pro-" tectionist country," will know how tomeet strenuous trade competition. Butthe real way to meet such competition,as Mr Bruce himself recognises earlierin his speech, and as Canadian states-men are now recognising, is to developtrade within the Empire. The benefitspossible from a co-ordination of themarkets and resources of the Empireare only beginning to be realised, butit is in this direction, and not in thedirection of new tariff barriers, thatGreat Britain and the Dominions willfind security.

Choosing the Prime Minister.

I Just before the English elections tookplace there was an interesting discus-sion in some of the newspapers on thepossibility of the King having tochoose his Prime Minister. It waspointed out that if no Party had anabsolute majority in the new House ofCommons, Mr Baldwin might resignwithout advising the Bang as to whoshould succeed him. Mr Lloyd Georgebrought the question into prominencebefore Parliament was dissolved byasking the Prime Minister whetherhe would in any circumstances ad-vise the King to send for theleader of the Socialists. Mr Bald-win replied by quoting the view ofseveral constitutional historians thatthe " free and unbiased choice " of hisPrime Minister was an undisputed pre-rogative of the monarch, and this wasinterpreted to mean that if Mr Bald-win could not continue in office hewould leave the King without advice,for only so could the King's choice be" free and unbiased." Sir John Mar-riott remarks that "the King's choice" as a rule is very limited in practice,"but a writer in London Truth dissentsstrongly from this view and adduces awealth of precedent to show that, evenin comparatively recent times, themonarch has acted without Ministerialadvice. The reign of Queen Victoria,with its remarkable political fluctua-tions, is, he points out, "an arsenal of" precedents on Ministerial crises."Where there was an unquestioned Op-position leader who had defeated theGovernment, she always summonedhim, but there were many occasionswhen she was able to act on her ownjudgment without consulting the retir-ing Prime Minister. The most recentinstance of the monarch's right of freechoice being exercised is found, ofcourse, in the somewhat obscure epi-sode that resulted in Mr Baldwin's suc-ceeding Mr Bonar Law in 1923. Onthe face of it, Lord Curzon seemed theobvious successor, but the King—ofcourse wisely—preferred the less well-known Commoner. Most people willagree with the writer in Truth, how-ever, when he says that it is undesir-able for the King to become involvedin politics.

A POPULAR OFFICIAL.

A gathering representative of all in-terests in the Ellesmere County as-sembled on Tuesday night in the Lees-ton Town Hall to bid au revoir to MrR, M.

"They had the wind up properly inAustralia over your earthquakes," saida passenger who arrived from Melbourneby the Manuka on Sunday evening."I was told that several people whohad booked by tht Manuka changedtheir minds on learning of the bigshakes, and I am afraid it is going toaffect the passenger trade from theother side for a time. Some of thoseon board imagined that they were go-ing to see Wellington in a knocked-about condition, and were surprised,and not a little disappointed, to seeit looking Vie same as ever. As amatter of fact, it is a very fine sightto enter Wellington on a fine evening,and many on board said how beautifulit was."

EMDEN'S VISIT.

SPANIEL PRESENTED TOCAPTAIN.

[THE PEESS Special Service.]

AUCKLAND, July 3.A Cocker Spaniel, Pax by name, and

peaceful by nature, was led on boardthe German cruiser Emden this morn-ing, and with due ceremony presentedto Captain von Arnauld as a souvenirof the warship's visit to Auckland.

Pax is a gift from an Auckland lady,and for the occasion he was adornedwith a bright red ribbon round his neck,with the word "Pax" engraved on amedal suspended below his chin.

The Emden visitors will take fromAuckland a variety of gifts, althoughpossibly not many animals, as the cruis-er's accommodation is not particularlysuited for conversion into a floatingmenagerie. One gift is tinned toheroasfor the captain's wife, and another isa collection of New Zealand seeds.

Captain von Arnauld said this morn-ing that he had received many proofsof friendship while in Auckland, alsoinvitations and appreciative letters.In fact, the mail had been so big thatthey had been unable to reply to every-body.

The All Blacks started off in a man-ner that suggested they would proveto be superior in every department ofthe game. Fine pack work and bril-liant passing in which Geddes shonewere a feature of various stages of thematch. The New Zealanders were notlong in scoring and established a nicelead before Newcastle, per medium otHammill. scored a try, which waa con-verted. The All Blacks continued toshow fine play. The forward line wasexceptionally good Newcastle scoreda try again in the first half.

After the interval the All Blackscarried the game before them, andwith the exception of individual effort*by one or two men in the Newcastleside, the local team was outclassed.Geddes. Waterman.

THE WAIMAKARIRI.

WILL IT BE HARNESSED ?

INTERESTING CLAUSE IN NEWBILL.

Not the least important of the pro-visions of the City Council's Bill to besubmitted to Parliament this session—-the Christchurch Electricity Empower-ing Act, 1929—is contained in the lastclatis». Tfte clause reads as follows:

"Section 8 of the Christchurch Elec-tric Power and Loan bmpowering Act,1902, is hereby repealed and tho fol-lowing section subsiituted: —

" 'The Council may raise by way oispecial loan, or loans, under the pro-visions of the Local Bodies Loans Act,1926, such sum, or sums, of money a*

may be required for, and apply thesame to, any of the purposes whichthe Council is authorised to carry intoeffect under, or by virtue of, that Act;but no money shall be borrowed underthis authority which shall produce tothe lender a higher rate of interestthan 5| per centum per annum.' "

The City of Christchurch ElectricPower and Loan Empowering Act of1902 is the Statute which contains theauthority for the City Council to de-velop the Waimakarin powei scheme,and Section 8 limits the Council's bor-rowing powers for the purpose to£300,000£250,000 for constructionand £50,000 for improvement and ex-tension after construction. In 1923 anattempt was made to get the sectionamended and the borrowing power in-creased to £900,000. but the thenGovernment offered to supply LakeColeridge power to the City Council atWaimnknnri rates. The offer wa» ac-cepted, and the Amending Bill was, notproceeded with. The nresent agree-ment between the Public Wr orks De-partment and the City Council runsti!l 1937 The Council may no.t haveany present intention of undertakingthe Wnimakariri scheme, but evidentlyproposes to possess the necessary statu-tory power to do so if it should decideto go on with it. The cost of thescheme, according to the report ofHawlev and Co.. would be about£838.600.

PUBLIC WORKS.

ALLOCATION OF VOTES.

COUNTIES PROTEST AGAINST

CHANGE.

fTH3 PIUBBB Bftdtl aervtet.]

WELLINGTON, July 8.

A strong protest against any altera-tion in the system of allocating votesfor public works until there had been

a thorough investigation of the whole

position was made by a deputation rep-resenting the City Councils in the

Auckland district which waited uponthe Minister for Public Works (the Hon.Mr Bansom) to-day.

It was pointed out that the reduc-tion of £24,000 which it was proposedto make in tbo total vote would havea very serious effect on the counties inthe North Auckland district. In hUreply the Minister undertook to givethe matter his consideration, but saidthat he could make no promises.

The deputation was introduced by MrH. M. Kushworth (Bay of Islands), andin addition to representatives of a

number of counties, there were severalmembers of Parliament present. Re-marking that the Government had de-cided to reduce the Public Work* voteby £.24,000, Mr Bush worth said thatthey all realised that this was a timefor economy, but he doubted whetherit was wise"to economise at the expenseof the back-block settlers, especially inthe matter of roading. It was also

understood that it was proposed to alterthe svatem under which the votes hadbeen "allocated in the past. If a newsystem were adopted it would meanthat the Whangarei district would lose£15,000, or more than 50 per cent., ofthe total reduction.

The Leader of the Opposition (theRight Hon. Mr Coates) said that whenhe was Minister for Public Works heand Mr G. T. Murray, who had sinceleft the Department, had worked outthe system of automatic allocations ona scientific basis. That system hadbeen in operation since 1922, and al-

though he was not claiming that thesystem was perfect, it had at least en-sured that the money was allocated on

an equitable basis, as it took into con-sideration every factor. The systemwas based on the average needs of thevarious counties, for it had been foundthat if an endeavour were made tomake allocations to meet special needsthere was a danger that the whole iyt-

tem would be thrown out of gear. Inorder to meet special cases that mightarise from time to time there had beena "green" item from which specialamounts might be allocated. Mr Mur-ray bad prepared an elaborate aet offigures, and Mr Coates said he wasafraid that without the advantage ofthose figures the Minister would beworking in the dark. He was a be-liever in the principle of the Ministerhaving a certain sum of money at ni»

disposal in order to meet special e&aes,but he was not prepared to say how

much that should be. That waa a mat-ter of opiiron.

Again stressing the need for a scien-tific allocation of the votes, Mr i-oaws

said that they did not want to goback to the days when it was » easeof the survival of the fittest. The pre-sent system had made for a just andequitable distribution free from anysuggestion of politi al favour, althoughhe was not suggesting for a momentthat the Minister intended to favourany district, at the expense of another.

Mr A. J. Murdoch (Marsden) drewattention to tne needs of the NorthAuckland district in the matter of roadsand urged the Minister not to changethe presimt system until he had hadan opportunity of studying the positioncarefully and of visiting the district.

Other speakers representing CountyCouncils in the area affected endorsedthe remarks of the previous speakers.

In reply, the Minister said he couldnot say that he was altogether sur-prised at the representations. It waanntworthy that the protest was con-fined to the North Auckland district.Although there were several other dis-tricts which had been affected by theadjustment in the allocations, so farno protest had been made by those dis-tricts. His difficulty had been to en-deavour to arrive at some form of allo-cations, that would be fair to all dis-tricts, and he realised how difficult Itwas ot formulate a system that wouldadequately cover every point. It hadbeen evident to him that certain dis-tricts were working under disadvan-tages, and It had been his object toremove those disadvantages if possible.He thought members of the deputationwere mistaken when they said that theNorth Auckland District would sufferunduly &b a result of the alterations.The fact was that the district wouldcontinue to be one of the most generous-ly treated districts in the Dominion. Hethought it would be found that alldistricts had been fairly treated underthe new allocations and that previous-ly existing disadvantages had been re-moved. He was quite prepared to sub-mit to the mem! ers of the deputationthe figures on which he had been work-ing. However, he would be prepared togo into the matter again, but he couldmake no promise as to any possibleaction as the notices indicating the al-teration had al-eady been sent out.

The Minister was pressed by MrCoates and other members of the depu-tation to give an assurance that hewould hold the matter over for thisvear at least, but this he declined todo.

FENDALTON OPEN-AIRSCHOOL.

AMERICAN VISITOR IMPRESSED.

Dr. Harry K. Messenger, teacher inphysiological optica at Harvard Medi-cal School, arrived in Christchurch yes-terday morning, arid visited the Fendal-ton School. Dr. Messenger was shownround by Mr A. R. Blank, the head-master, and subsequently gave his im-pres-ions to a Press reporter.

"I have never seen anything betterin the way of a school," he said, "andthis Fendalton Open-air School is areal revelation to me. Anything thatmakes for hygenic living, as this schooldoes, is a thing in which lam intenselyinterested, and which is very near topy heart I was naturally especiallyinterested in the lighting of the rooms,which seems to me to be excellent.The rooms admit the sunlight, unob-structed by glass and it is the sun-light that Nature intended us to bebathed in."

Asked if he thought that there wasany danger to the children's eves fromthe sunlight, Dr. Messeneer repliedwith an emphatic "No." On the con-trary, he said, he thought the sightand the health of the eves would begreatly benefited. Pointing to hispwn glasses, with a smile, he saidPerhaps if T hnd been brought up inan open-air achool of this sort. Tmtjnt to-dav have better eve-sipht my-self. I am takiner back booklets ofpictures of the school to Boston andwill be pble to tell the Bosnians ofthis wonderful school in your beautifullittle country. '

PRIME MINISTER APPROACHED.

[THB FKSBS aywlal aartle*.!

WELLINGTON', July I.In support of representation! by the

Finance Committee of the ChriatehureaCity Council, Mr D. G. Sullivan (Avon)is endeavouring to arrange a deputa-tion eonsisting of the Mayors, of Auck-land, Wellington, Christchcreh, and Dun-©<]in to wait on the Prime Minister(Sir Joseph Warii), with a view to se-curing, If p tsible, more generous terras jas to the basil on which the Government ,

will subsidise expenditure by k>c*l jbodies on uuempiovßCDt relief work. IWith that end in view Mr BuSHvan fwaited on the Prime Minister tbia room- jing. and secured his consent to receive ■a deputation. !

During the interview, Mr Sullivan ]pointed out to Sir Joseph Ward the ;difficulties that confronted local bodiesin the matter of the Government offerof £2").0OO. It was laid down by theGovernment that, except in the case ofpublic subscription, the subsidy shouldcover wages expenditure only, whl~hmeant that in order to receive the£25,000 subsidy the local body mest ex- (pend £50,000 in wages and about£30,000 In materia!, a total of £Bu,ooo.In other words, in order to obtain theaubsidv of £25,000 the local body wasrequired to find £55,000. The localbodies were finding this too heavy aburden, said Mr Sullivan, and it washoped that if the deputation were ar-ranged the Government could be per-suaded to subsidise, on a £ for « basis,the whole expenditure on relief worksbv local bodies. If that were agreed tothe local body would be required tofind only a similar amount to that pro-vided by the Government, namely£25,000, instead of £55,000, as demandedunder the existing arrangements.

While agreeing to receive a deputa-tion of the Mayors of the four centresand pitv Members of Parliament, SirJoseph Ward said that at present hesaw little likelihood of the alterationsought for being made, bnt that hewould consider the matter further whenhe had received the deputation.

Mr Ronaldson motored in S»n Fran-cisco. Los Angeles, and DaDaa, andnever experienced the slightest trouble.The key to the situation he explainedyesterday, was automatic control. Atthe centre of street intersections therewas a concrete t>oet five or six feethigh on which the two main signsaffixed were: "Stop" and "Go," Whenthe siiin "Go"' was displayed in onedirection the sign "Stop** was die-played in the other.

WESTPORT'S DILEMMA.

gOAD TO KARAMEA GONE.

jtffGINEER DESCRIBES DAMAGE.

WESTPOBT, July 3.

Quite a number of big earthquakes

occurred to-day and again thiß evening,the biggest and most sustained being

. tsa t at 3.57 p.m., which gave housesF'espcrale worrying. It leaves people'' ertain whether the worst is over or

ji yet to com*;.

Captain Burrt-!1 and Corporal Smith(mechanic) returned this afternoonfrom Karamca, where they fitted on a

wing to tiie damaged aeroplane.At the Borough Council meeting this

evening, the Prime Minister was

thanked for the generous way in whichthe Government had come to the assist-ance of the distressed districts. Thanksware also accorded all from whom dona-tions had been received, and were beingreceived; resolutions of sympathy werepassed with relatives of those who losttheir lives ir< the disaster, there beingfour in this district—Messrs Russell andiwb, Chamley and McAllister. The firsttwo were apparently overwhelmed by aland-slip, and the last two in the mines.

A resident of Mokihinui, in whichpart of the Buller district all four casu-alties occurred, says Mokihinui sus-tained as severe a shock as Murchi-eon. The earthquake split Mount Glas-gow from top to bottom, one portionbeing thrown right over the river.

Mr C. F. Schadick, Buller CountyEngineer, telegraphs from Karamea:—•The main highway from Tobin'sbridge to Stuart's mill, approximatelyJO miles, is obliterated. The damage isterrific. It is not possible to constructa road inland. The only possible routeIs along the coast. It is impossible torestore telephonie communication Inland.The damage to roads and bridges atKaramea is enormous."

RAILWAY DAMAGE

£25,000 FOR REPAIRS.

MR J. M*NAIR'S INSPECTION,

It is the opinion of Mr J. McNair,District Railway Engineer, that it willcost about £25,000 to repair the dam*age to railway works on the WestCoast.

Mr McNair returned from Westport•n Tuesday evening after spendingsome days in the earthquake area, dur-ing whtch time he made a comprehen-sive inspection of the damaged works.He told a representative of Thb Prjesiiyesterday that he was pleased to re-sort that the damage to the wharf atWestport was of a much lesser extentthan he had been led to expect. Thegreatest damage had been caused by abig steamer which had strained portionof the wharf outwards. This had re-sulted in some of the tied supportingpiles being damaged, together with anumber of three-inch steel rods joiningthem to the stay piles some distanceback from the wharf itself. Fortun-ately, however the whole of the struc-ture had been moved bodily forward,»nt it had not been left in a dangerousitate. Some of the tracks on the wharfwould have to be attended to, but itwaa not anticipated that it would make•ny difference to the loading and un-loading of shipping.

The greatest damage sustained bythe Railway Department, he continued,occurred on the Westport-Mokihinuiline, over a distance of about 80 miles.The damage done elsewhere on the WestCoast was comparatively small com-pared with this. which would take|"'0O00 in round figures to make good.In some portions of the route the railshad been shifted from six to eight feetfrom where they were before the visita-

Jiion. The rails had heen twisted andt would be necessarv to use a jimcrow

on them to restore them to their formerstate. The Waimangaroa-Granity sec-tion of the line was the worst, thisbeing tho more unfortunate in thatsupplies from the Denniston and Mil-lerton Mines were trucked on it. TheDepartment waa. however, able tofcandle all the coal that the mines couldproduce although trains would haveto travel at reduced speed over the lineUntil permanent repairs were effected.He thought that it would require aboutaix months to eet the tracks back totheir original state.

MUCH IMPROVED.

CONDITIONS IN MURCHISON.RESEARCH INTO INTENSITY OF

SHOCK.

(PSBSB jLSaOCI-TIOX TELEQRAIi.,'

NELSON, July 3.Feeling in Murchison is that condi-

tions generally have greatly improvedduring the past few days The im-provement has come about gradually,but is most marked when comparedwith conditions even a few days ago.

Mr L. May, District Engineer, leftNelson this morning for Murchison,where he will be joined by a party thatwill accompany him through the BullerGorge to Inangahua. The party ex-pect to arrive at their destination onSunday night. This portion is badlyshaken and has not so far been tra-versed since the earthquake.

Seen by a "Mail" reporter to-day,Dr. Adams, Government Seismologist,said that although after investigationthe first estimate of the general inten-sity of the shock, as determined by re-ports of local observers, may be some-what reduced in t«he Nelson district,ho was of opinion that the intensity ofthe shock in Murchison reached the10 scale.

Members of the Architects' Commit-tee agreed with Dr. Adams that theeffect on buildings in Murchison wascertainly disastrous. In a few in-stances buildings had not suffered, andit was extraordinary how they hadescaped. Tt was remarked that veryfew fissures were found on solidground; it was on alluvial groundwhere most of the damage had oc-curred

Dr. Adams and members of the com-mittee pointed out that now thev wereonly collecting evidence and were notat present prepared to make a con-sidered statement In due course thecommittee will make a report to theInstitute of Architects, and Dr. Adamswill report to the Government.

LECTURE BY LABOUR LEADER.

(rasas assocutiox teleoram.)

| WELLINGTON, July 3.Mr H. E. Holland. M.P. for Bulter,

gave an address on the earthquake.and his experience at Westport, to a

1 crowded audience at the Town Halllast evening. Among those present

i waa the Prime Minister (Sir JosephWard) at whose instance, seconded hy

t the Rt. Hon. Mr Coates, a resolutionwas passed extending sincere sympathyto the sufferers and to the relations ofthose who lost their lives, and pledg-ing the meeting to assist every measurefor relief.

Mr Holland was accorded a vote oi| thanks, and collections taken uprealised nearly £2OO.

The central fund has reached£13,638.

DR. TELFORD'S REMARKS.

AN EXPLANATION.

Dr. T. Fletcher Telford, Medical Offi-cer of Health, forwards the followingstatement:

"Regarding an interview given to areporter over the telephone at Christ-church on my return from the WestCoast, I was unfortunately representedin saying that the Westport people arecondoling with each other and consider-ing getting in relief money instead ofgetting to work. This is quite incor-rect. The statement applied to theBorough Council at the time of my ar-rival at Westport when they were con-niderin? these matters instead of get-ting on with all the essential utilitieswhich had been interrupted

"I understand that this reputedstatement of mine is likely to havedone harm in the minds of the generalpublic and I am anxious that this im-pression should be corrected

"From my inspection of the WestCoast locality following the earthquake,I am satisfied that the West Coastpeople went throucrh a verv harrowingtime, and in addition sustained seriousdamage to their dwellings and furni-ture.

"I would therefore suggest to allthose in a position to give, to giveliberally in order that the damaeredone to orivate propertv may be speed-ily rectified, as the sufferers from theearthquake are in every sense deserv-ing."

SCHOOL CHILDREN'SCONTRIBUTIONS.

NONE ALLOWED BY EDUCATIONBOARD.

[THB rWSBS Special Bervic«.]

AUCKLAND, July 3.Always opposed to collections in

schools owing to the fear of distinctionbeing made between pupils in varyingcircumstances, the Auckland EducationBoard decided this morning to debar in-stitutions from making contributionstowards the Earthquake Relief Fund.

The question was thoroughly thrashedout, when the chairman, Mr A. Burns,reported that the Board's policy wasnot to allow collections of any de-scription in the schools. It was just aquestion whether the earthquake disas-ter was an exceptional case. Severalteacher* had written to the Hoardseeking permission to take up collec-tions while some had acted on theirown initiative and already done so.

It was decided to advise teachingstaffs that the Board could not allowcontributions to be made from schoolsas it desired that no distinction shouldbe made between pupils.

Mr Burns: The children may be ableto give in some other way.

"THE PRESS" RELIEFFUND.

AN APPEAL TO OURREADERS.

It is extremely gratifying to be ableto announce after ao short a periodthat The Press relief fund hasalready reached £3594. So strik-ing a proof of the loyalty andgenerosity of our readers will perhapsmake it appear that no further appealis necessary. It would certainly not benecessary to ask our readers to keepon giving if nothing had happened tosuggest that assistance may no longer

be necessary. It has. however, seemedto some people that the setting up oi

a Central Comm'ttee by the Governmem takes relief measures out of pri-vate hands, and we would point outthat this is bv no means the case.Everything that our readers can affordto give is still urgently required.

Ulm de-clared that when they reached Karachiit would be necessary to check over theengines and that all the member* ofthe crew should have some rest beiorebeginning the hop to Bagdad, which islikely to be one of the most difficultstages of the flight.

"We would like to make a non-stopflight from Bagdad to London," hesaid, "'but each day as our informationconcerning the route is added to wefind there is less hope of accomplishingit. Owing to the prevailing winds,and owing to the heavy load the mono-plane is carrying, it would be impos-sible to rise to the altitude necessaryto negotiate the mountains."

ADDRESS-IN-REPLY.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT.

MR BALDWIN'S SPEECH.

DESIRE FOR UNITED HOUSE.

■.331T152 OFFICIAL WI3ELESS.)

RUGBY, July 2.The debate on the Address-in-Reply

was opened in the House of Commonsthis afternoon.

Mr Stanley Baldwin. Leader of theOpposition, enquired whether, in refer-ence to the report of the financial ex-perts on Reparations, the proposal asapproved by the Government would besubmitted to Parliament before thefinal decision was taken. He thoughtthat the visit to the United Stateswhich the Prime Minister intended making was absolutely right. Both coun-tries suffered from the absence of per-sonal intercourse between their stateßmen. Increasing personal intercoursebetween statesmen in Europe was amatter of the first importance, and had,he believed, rendered possible such pro-gress as had been made.

Mr Baldwin expressed full agreementwith what had been said in the King'sSpeech on unemployment and improvedtransport and trade, but asked as tothe Government's intentions regardingsafeguarding industry.

In concluding, he reminded the Housethat the Government was a minorityone, but he said that his supportershad no deside to offer fractious opposi-tion. They intended to assist the Gov-ernment in carrying on, but it wouldrequire self-control on both sides. In ap-proaching the grave difficulties that facedthe country it would on occasions beessential for the country and the Em-pire to face the world with a unitedParliament.

Mr MacDonald Replies.The Prime Minister, Mr MacDonald,

immediately replied. He said that itwould be the care of the Governmentwhen representations were made tothem by the respective leaders of eitherParty asking for opportunities to dis-cuss matters of great Interest to theHouse, or grave importance to thenation, to see that they were given.

In view of the serious problems atHome and abroad, he wondered howfar it would be possible, without in anyway abandoning any of their Partypositions, or surrendering any items oftheir Party principles and outlook,to consider themselves more as a Coun-cil of State and less as arrayed regi-ments facing each other.

The Government existed to deal withtwo dominating concerns: First, unem-ployment and social betterment; and,second, peace secured by the cordialco-operation of the nationtj. Essentialto the first was a sound policy to stim-late trade, that would raise the stand-ard of living of the people and producethe confidence that fair play was beingdone all round, upon which alone indus-trial peace would rest.

Naval Disarmament.Essential to the second was a better

understanding with America. Hewould communicate with the Leader ofthe Opposition when he was in a posi-

tion to make a definite statement on

that subject. Conversations withAmerica already had been started.They were purely preliminary, and ofan exploratory character. No tunewas being lost in agreeing on modes ofprocedure, and the order in which theproblems should be approached. TheKellogg Peace Pact had been signedby practically all the nations of theworld. The Government was anxiousto build upon that a disarmament pol-icy whieh would recognise the Pact asa living and controlling influence nponthe international policy.

Both Governments would seek at onceto co-operate with the other great naval

I Powers as soon as the negotiationsI stage proper had been reached. It

i was well known, however, that a pre-liminarv understanding between Amer-ica and Britain was necessary if suc-cess were to crown their efforts. Thechairman of the Preparatory Commis-sion on Disarmament set up by theLeague of Nations bad asked that con-versations should be held between thenaval Powers. The British Govern-ment were undertaking their work in

the hope that it would contribute to-wards the solution of the problems en-gaging the attention of that Commis-sion.

Reparations.Eegarding the Committee of Experts

on Reparations, he said that the reportwas a document of great complexity,requiring much explanation. The Gov-ernment had to accept compromiseswhich they did not altogether like, butthey did their best to secure Britishinterest. Three Departments of Statewere deeply involved, the Treasury,the Foreign Office, and the Board ofTrade, and af the moment they wereexamining the report with the grsatestcare in preparation for a conference ofGovernments which must soon be held.Immediate questions to be settled werethe date and place of the conference,The Government had suggested Lon-don. He could make no definite state-ment yet as to the procedure and mainpointa which had to be raised at theconference. He pledged himself thatevery constitutional method that wasproper would be followed in order tocommunicate the situation as fully aspossible to Parliament.

Mr MacDonald reminded the Housethat the publication of the reportmeant that the Dawes Plan could notremain in force much longer, and that

some new agreement must be reacned-"ln reaching that agreement, be

said, "I hope everybody will under-stand that, however the negotiationsmay go, the great generosity of this

countrv in its relations with the Amesafter the war can be questioned by no

one, nor can its meticulous rectitudein fulfilling its bargains and obliga-tions be doubted. I often feel this mnot recognised as it should be.

_

we

are bearing burdens which, strictly,and in relation to the capacity of others,

ought not to have been imposed nponus. We shall go back on none of ourcontracts."

Domestic Attain.Passing on to domestic affairs, he

said that the Government had comeinto possession of a report on the wool

industry which they would pnnlisn,bnt not put into operation, and they pro-posed to treat as a dead letter the law

Government's proposals known as tneWhite Paper conditions, u nd" .J!Safeguarding enquiries should be sei

up. Certain questions connected «"«>

Safeguarding were really Budget eo*

cerns. and it was not to be exp*

that the Budget policy would be a «'

closed in advance. Regarding tnei ex-

isting Safeguarding Duties, £PP°™of the Government had eonsisten °£posed their imposition, ana hadit abundantly clear that they wows

reserve the right to remove them whenpracticable. Opposition to all pro-tective duties had just been overwhelmingly expressed by the electors. Itmust, therefore, be understood that theGovernment would in no case renewthese duties, should they remain inoperation until the statutory periodsbad expired, and they reserved theright to repeal them at an earlier datethan that fixed for their expiration ifit appeared practicable and desirable todo so. In coming to conclusions theGovernment would have regard to theinconvenience which changes of policyinflicted on trades, and to revenue as-pects of the question.

Proceeding, he referred to the coal,cotton, and steel industries, and to theneed for changes in the law regardingelections.

LONDON, July 3.Mr Stanley Baldwin answered criti-

cism of the Conservative Party organ-isation at a meeting of the CentralCouncil of Conservatives at the HotelCecil, which unanimously passed a reso-lution of confidence in him as leader.

Mr Baldwin said: "We have beenthrough many hard fights together; wehave won and lost, and we shall winagain."

It was, he said, always natural inthe moment of defeat, whether great orsmall, that there should be a certainamount of heart-searching criticism.Personally, he had no objection to criti-cism, but, looking back fairly on hislong Parliamentary life, he assertedthat he had never had a more loyal,hard-working, more united Party thanthat in the last House. Unfortunatelymany of the most promising men hadbeen defeated, but shortly—and cer-tainly within a few months—every constituency would be selecting a candi-date for the next battle, and it wasnecessary to have a large recruitmentof young men, because the future waswith them.—Australian Prets Associa-tion.

The newspapers discuss the King'sSpeech restrainedly. The "Daily Her-ald" says: "The programme represent*nothing more than the beginning of avast rebuilding task, but it is a goodbeginning when all the circumstance*are taken into account. There is muchwork ahead in the nature of aavryiag,and the clearing of wreckage from theTory and Liberal administrations."

The "Daily Telegraph" says: "MrMacDonald w bent on remaining inoffice rather than on advancing Social-ism. Most of the proposals in theKing's Speech, so far as principle isconcerned, may well receive a generalmeasure of Conservative and Liberalsupport."

"The Times" says: "The Speech willcause little contention and will dis-appoint only the sealota who wouldprefer that the Labour Party hadbroadened Its phylacteries rather thanits faith. The authors have evidentlybeen at pains to respect the verdict andintentions of the electorate and to ack-nowledge the composition of the newHouse."—Australian Press Association.

INTERESTING OBSERVATIONS.

Mr C. J.

Itwas also a place where fortunes weremade and lost ut a few cUya, but, •©

Mr Eonatdsoo went to Daliaa by wayof ban Francisco and Los Angeles, anddaring that trip the traveller ya—ithrough some 1800 miles of desertcountry. Where irrigation baa beenintroduced it has changed tbe face ofthe landscape and citrus fruit* and th.-produce of market gardens grow inabundance. The country » also richwith oil.

Los Angeles is a town in act ire com-petition with San Fraaoiwo.It haa a population of 1,990,009

U.S. EFFICIENCYCAMPAIGN.

MR BRUCE'S WARNING.

DUMPING GOODS IN AUSTRALIA.

(tntmsD r&zss association—bt blecteicTELEGRAPH -COPYRIGHT.)

SYDNEY, July 2.Addressing the Chamber of Manuiac-

turers, the Pr*me Minister, Mr Bruce,warned his hearers of the probability ofthe wholesale dumping of Americangoods into British countries in the nearfuture.

Mr Bruce said that the UnitedStates, having got most of the goldof the' world during the war, had ex-pended the greater portion in increas-ing Iwr i'acil/tie.s for protection andexpanding her factories. Mie was nowconcentrating on a terrific efficiencycampaign. She was going to flood theworld with her manufactures in thenext few years, and it would be a dis-astrous flood. Britain was beginningto see she would need the co-operationof all her Dominions.

The speaker added that there was nobetter way of tackling the problemthan by giving to Britain a marketwhich we did not ourselves want andthereby keeping the other fellow out.

"Being a good Protectionist country,and knowing how to deal with peoplewho try to put it over us, we can prob-ably meet this very real danger muchmore efficiently than- Britain. I there-fore urge manufacturers to concentratefirst on the manufacture of motor-ears." ho said.—Australian Press As-sociation.

U.S. TARIFF THREATS.

CANADIAN PLANS TO MEETSITUATION.

OTTAWA, July 2.President Hoover's tariff threats are

producing results in Ottawa. It isknown that the Government tariff ex-perts are making a very careful etudyof the situation under quite definiteinstructions, and when Congress signsthe new tariff measure the Prime Min-ister will be ready to tell Canada of aplan to meet the situation.

While no details are obtainable, it is•tated on good authority that the stepsto be taken will be more adequate thanfcJie Conservatives expect, and thataction is not likely to be confined toBritish preference.—Australian PressAssociation.

FRUITGROWERS.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE.

trauss association telegram.)

WELLINGTON, July 3.The fact that steady progress was

being made in regard to the marketingof, fruit for export was stressed by MrT. C. Brash, president of the NewZealand Fruitgrowers' Federation, atthe annual conference which openedto-day. lie said the industry wiselydecided some years ago that a highstandard should be set, and in spite ofocc-isional cases of hardship the stan-dard is being maintained.

Dealing with cool storage, MrBrash said: "Cool storage is probablythe most difficult problem to solve. AtAuckland satisfactory arrangementsha\o been made, but in Wellington,where the major portion of our ship-ments are centralised, the position isnot satisfactory. Whatever may bethe case in connexion with storage ofother primary products, the place forpre-cooling fruit is on the waterfront,where the overseas steamers loadeddirect. The Wellington Harbour Boardlias, under arrangement with the FruitBoard, provided a certain amount ofcool storage space, but eventually coolstorage will be necessary at otherports, such as Nelson. Lvttelton, andPuriedin. At some of these places webelieve satisfactory arrangementscould be made with stores already inexistence. 1 am of the opinion thatstores larrre enough to meet the exportposition are not an economic proposi-tion if used for fruit only."

N.Z. BREWERIES.

[TEE PEESS Special Service.]

WELLINGTON, July 3.New Zealand Breweries, Ltd., stated

jto-day they had nothing to say in con-nexion with the nr our that the com-pany had available funds for distribu-1tiaa.

GERMAN MONEY RATES

STATE PAYING OVER 7 PERCENT.

Authority was recently given by theReichstag for the issue of a tax-freeState loan of £26,000,000, and prepara-tions were immediately completed forthe issue of £15,000,000. The sub-scription lists were to be opened fromiuay 24th to 3ist. The rate of interestwas fixed at 7 per cent., and the stockwas offered at 99. The loan will notbe redeemable for five years; afterthat it is to be redeemed at par dur ngtiie following 10 years at the rate ofiO per cent, of the total annually.

I'o meet its immediate needs theReich Treasury arranged an advancefrom the banks of £10,000,000 on theproceeds of the loan. Its difficultieswere partly due to the cost of unem-ployment insurance; a statement bythe Ministry for Finance showed that,although with the rapid decrease of un-employment, the monthly credits ithad to grant to the UnemploymentInsurance Office to cover relief expen-diture in advance of revenue weredwindling, by the end of June it wouldhave to advance some £20,000,000 infour months.

N.S.W. FINANCE,

A SURPLUS ANTICIPATED.

State Ministers in New South Walesexpect a surplus of revenue over ex-penditure of £350,000 to £350,000 forthis financial year. Until recently itwas expected that there would be alarge deficit as the result of heavy ex-penditure in relieving distress causedby unemployment arising out of thecoal dispute and the timber strike. Inrecent months this has involved an ex-penditure of about £IO,OOO a week.The railways accounts, which havebeen separated from the consolidatedrevenue accounts, are unsatisfactory.It is expected that the railways, aftermeeting interest in capital, will showa loss of about £1,000,000. Stateincome-tax for the financial year willamount to £7,000,000, of which£4,000,000 has been collected. Inter-est on the Public Debt of New SouthWales is £12,000 000 a year. The Trea-surer, Mr Stevens, estimates that thecost of governing the State is£19.500,000 a year, or £2,500,000 morethan the cost of government beforethe war. It is probable that thesuper-tax on companies' incomes, in-volving £400,000 a year, will be re-moved next year.

tinder data July Ist, 1929, the minemanager reports*as follows:—Daring the pastweek the south drive was extended 10ft andis now 42J feet south of station 14A, or110 feet south of station 13A. The band ofwash has narrowed down, and a series oflarge slip rocks came in over the back ofthe drive, replacing the layer of clayey sandthat previously formed the back of the drive.At the present face the floor started to dipand 2J feet had to be sunk before bed rockwas reached. The hole runs diagonallyacross the drive.

The cross cut from the south drive startedat a point 67 feet south of station 13A hasbeen turned south-east, and is in the positionthat the south-east drive would have reachedhad it been continued. The new south-eastdrive was advanced 9 feet for the week: itshould enter the same class of wash as thatpenetrated by the south drive. One hun-dred and thirty-four trucks of wash werehoisted and put through the boxes. Themonthly clean-up was made on June 39th,and the yield was 95 ounces.

ASSURANCE FINANCE.

Apart from promoting thrift, life assur-ance organisations in Australia play an im-portant part in finance. In their ordinarylife departments their income in the Com-monwealth in 1927 was £14,388,685, com-pared with £13,792,101 for 1926, and in theindustrial branches it was £4,524,598, atotal of £18,913,283, as compared with£17,852,000 in the previous year. Totalexpenditure in the Commonwealth was£11,236,854, against £10,559,748. With theaggregate surplus increasing, investmentshave assumed larger proportions. Holdingsof Government and municipal securities in1927 were £62,202,524, or, roundly, £1,850,-000; more than for 1926. Mortgages aregreater by approximately £5,000,000, as .theoutcome of the more attractive rates of in-terest available. The Commonwealth sta-tistician, in his summary of Australian finan-cial statistics, shows that Australian assetsof life offices which transacted business herein 1927 were valued at £118,274,047, com-pared with £109,025,348 in 1926.

NEW ZEALAND RENNET CO.

'•As an instance of the steps taken inan effort to crush co-operative concerns, thecase of tha New Zealand Rennet Companyis outstanding," said Mr Morton in his pre-sidential speech to the National Dairy Asso-ciation at Whangarei. Mr Morton recountedhow the company started 15 years ago. Afterovercoming great difficulties, it proved itselfcapable of producing in New Zealand anarticle equ.il in quality to any other in theworld, while able to show a, substantialprofit. Before the company commencedoperating prohibitive prices were charged,a keg costing as much as £35. The com-pany had brought the price down until to-day it was £3 13s a keg.

Every eflort had been made to squeeze thecompany out of existence. One of the la.gestmanufacturing firms in the world quotedrennet on the London market at £5 13s akeg, vet, after paying freight, duty, andcommission, it was telling in New Zealandat the same price aa the farmers' com-pany. The boneless veal industry was con-nected with rennet-making, in that freezingcompanies handling ca>ea were able to sup-ply the renn3t company with as many bei iesas required. It was only a matter of timewhen the company would be able to supplyall the re-uirementa in New Zealand andextend its trading to Onar!a, where cf""*ecompanies wera paying £6 a keg, and toAustralia,

MESSRS WEDDEL'S REVIEW.

UTSO* Ot-B OWK COESESPOITDBST.)LONDON, May 31.

Messrs W. Weddel and Company, in theirannual review, state that without providingany outstanding incident, tlie year 1928 maybe regarded as a satisfactory one by meatproducers in most parts of the world. Forthe London importers and the trade generallyconditions showed some improvement - overthose of recent years.

Market prices in this country were con-siderably influenced by shorter supplies ofHome-grown meat, brought about partly bya scarcity of feeding stuffs, and partly bvthe stoppage of imports of Canadian storecattle.

In the United States, owing to the un-profitable prices to the grower that have pre-vailed in recent years, a shortage of fatcattle began to develop in the second halfof 1927, and became so pronounced last yearthat Canada's surplus was absorbed at goodprices, and considerable quantities of frozenLeef were imported from New Zealand. Everyday, however, that these high prices con-tinued hastened the day when a correspond-ing swing of the pendulum would take placethrough increased supplies. There is nocountry in the world where high prices willproduce the goods so quickly as in theUnited States. Show the American farmera profit on anything he raises and he appearß

capable of producing unlimited quantities ina very short time. Therefore, if any pro-gress is to be made in inducing the UnitedStates to take imported meat more freely,with moderate duties it ii important thatno time should be loßt.

Importations of Beef.The total importation of frozen and chilled

beef, mutton, and lamb into the United King-dom during 1928 amounted to 890,334 tons,as compared with 946,776 tons in 1927. adecrease of 56,442 tons, or 6 per cent. Thisis the first time for five years that the Up-ward trend of imports has been checked. Invalue, however, last year's arrivals totalled£50,141,088, or an average of 6d per lb,against a valuation of £46,916 570, or 5.357dper lb in 1927.

With the exception of the Argentine Re-public, all the exporting countries shippedmaterially increased quantities, but theircombined effort, encouraged by the higherlevel of values ruling at Smithfield, was in-sufficient to make up for more than half ofthe Argentine deficiency

The total weight of chilled beef receivedwas 478,226 tons, or 42,383 tons (8.8 percent.) less than in 1927. Frozen beef was19,099 tons down at 130.900 tons, but frozenmutton and lamb, totalling 286,208 tons,showed a small increase of 5040 tons.

The total consumption of beef, mutton,and lamb in the United Kingdom during1928 is estimated at 1,987,525 tons, ofwhich 1,107,800 tons were Home-grown, and879,725 tons were imported.

The total weight of beef, mutton, and lambexported in 1928 by the freezing works ofthe world is estimated at 1.059,104 tons,against 1,256,900 tons in 1927 and 1,193,600tons in 1926.

Supplies of Mutton ar.d Lamb.The total importations of mutton from all

sources amounted to 5,077,084 carcases, ascompared with 5,374,598 carcases in 1927,a decrease of 297,514 carcases.

All the producing countries sent reducedquantities, with the exception of Patagonia,from which 123,081 carcases more than in1927 were received. The decreases were

as follows:—Australia 58,382 carcases. NewZealand 126,951 carcases, Argentina 218,366carcases, and Uruguay 3982 carcases.

While mutton imports were lower, suppliesof lamb were considerably greater at 10,685.-682 carcases, or 1.074,512 carcases (11.2per cent.) more than tie 1927 total of9,611,170 carcases.

Australian shipments showed a drop of149,018 carcases, but the New Zealand total

was heavier than in any previous year, and697,243 carcases greater than the quantityreceived in 1927.

New Zealand Trade.In Xew Zealand the 1927-28 season was

again a very satisfactory one for the pro-ducers of New Zealand. The number ofcattle killed during the season was nearlydouble that of 1927. The increase in lambskilled amounted to nearly 600,000 head.

Prospects for 1929.In the producing centres conditions look

promising. Home supplies of meat shouldbe more or less normal. Some increase insupplies from Ireland and Scotland is ex-pected, especially if the weather should provefavourable for finishing the stock in theearly summer.

Shipments of frozen and chilled beef fromSouth America to the United Kingdom arenot likely to be heavier than last year—ifanything, they will be lighter, owing to thehigher prices of cattle iu the producing coun-tries. Present indications point to Pata-gonia being a heavy shipper of lambs, pos-sibly also of ewe mutton.

Both Australia and New Zealand are enjoy-ing favourable weather conditions, and, ifthere is no setback, the output will beheavier than last year.

Taking the trade as a whole, ample sup-plies of lamb may be anticipated, withslightly less mutton. This, however, is onlyreflecting the public taste. Mutton has beenmuch less in favour for some years past,and it is doubtful whether smaller supplies—-unless the difference is substantial—willhave any material effect upon values.

Last season the drop in lamb prices atEaster helped the trade to a remarkable ex-tent, and the greater consumption enabledsatisfactory prices to be secured right intothe autumn.

[ It seldom happens tb.3t we have two yearsalike in general price movements in the meattrade. Producers this year have taken amore optimistic view, as the result of lastyear's trading, and are demanding higherprices. If this has the effect of slowing npthe demand at the time when public tastecan be attracted to the lamb trade, it may

lead to disappointing priceß later. Shippersdo not always realise that there must be abig consumption of imported lambs In thespring and early summer if a sound positionis to be established for the later monthsof the year, when Home-killed competitionincreases and the consumption decreases.

Notwithstanding assurances that there isan improvement in trade coming, we are stillimporting £300,000,000 worth of manufac-tured goods per annum, mostly from coun-tries which keep British goods out of theirmarkets by means of high tariffs. At thesame time our unemployment figures, includ-ing people in receipt of Poor Law relief,remain in the neighbourhood of two mil-lions, which means that over four millionsof our population are affected, if theirfamilies are taken into account. "With noimprovement in unemployment conditions insight, beef shippers will probably hare tolook to the Continent of Europe for anyexpansion in outlets, but there markets, asshown in the detailed reports on the variouscountries, are not promising. Ifr is too muchto hope that any substantial increase cantake place in the shipment of frozen orchilled meat to Continental ports. Withtheir large agricultural areas, the Conti-nental countries, and still more the UnitedStates, should have little difficulty in pro-viding for their own meat requirements, oncethe prices in those countries reach a levelsufficiently high to enablo their own farmersto raise the animals profitably. Great Britain,with her large industrial population and herrelatively (-mall agricultural area, is alonein the world in welcoming the free marketingof imported meat.

PARLIAMENT.HOUSE OF REPRESENTA-

TIVES.

ADDBESS-IN-BEPLY DEBATE.

(JM6S iSSOCIATIOS TKUCOSAM.)

WELLINGTON, July 5.The House of Representatives met at

7.30 p.m.Mr W. A. Bodkin (Central Otago)

moved: "That a respectful Address bepresented to the Governor-General inreply to his Excellency's Speech," andin doing bo expressed pleasure andthankfulness at the King's recovery,and a hope that he would long be

spared to reign over the Empire. Inreferring to the regret felt at theapproaching departure of his Excel-

lency and the Lady Alice Fergusson, MrBodkin said in addition to their suc-

cess in other spheres, they had done a

vast amount of work in building upthe character of the young people ofthe Dominion. The speaker went on

to refer to unemployment, which hesaid was due to the failure of theprimary industries to absorb the pro-portion of labour that was due fromthem. They had failed to absorb thenatural increase in population, and theposition had become more and more

acute as a result of the influx of immi-grants. He said the blame for thefailure of industries to provide workfor everyone was not due to the peoplein those industries. The year's trad-ing results proved that. He contendedalso that there never was a period inNew Zealand's history when the condi-tion of markets was more satisfactory.There undoubtedly was ample room yetfor scientific development in industry,and the inference was therefore thatt>ad administration was responsible forthe present unemployment problem.The failure of the Reform Governmentto carry out an adequate land policywas one obvious explanation. It hadmade no attempt at subdivision. Every-one knew there were hundreds of youngpeople only too willing to settle on theland, but the opportunity had not beenoffered them. The Reform Govern-ment had been more concerned withthe interests of a comparatively fewwealthy squatters. Every Land Actthat had been placed on the StatuteBook for years had been designed toaid land aggregation. With this stateexisting in the primary industries itwas not surprising that the secondaryindustries had been languishing allalong the line, as their very existencedepended on the prosperity of the mainindustries. He congratulated the pres-ent Administration on the steps it wastaking to combat unemployment, andhe contended its policy would providea solution of the problem.

Mr Bodkin criticised land specula-tion, which he said was largely respon-sible for the inflated values of land.He then referred to the tourist traffic,which he said possessed wonderful scopefor development. Now that the conn-try had a prospect of- obtaining directsteamer service to the South Island, _ itcould- put before visitors the touristattractions in that Island, which couldbe covered in a space of time that wasnot possible formerly when manytourists found it only possiblein the time at their disposalto visit parts of the North Island.Speaking on the subject of the reliefworks, Mr Bodkin said nothing shouldbe undertaken that would not give 20sin the S, value for money expended.He commended the irrigation of partsof Otago as a suitable task for the pur-pose. In a reference to edncation, hesaid in the past there had been a ten-dency to lure children right away fromthe land. If the Dominion had onlybeen teaching agriculture as it shouldhave done in the past, there would notbe the poverty and distress that therewas to-day. The Minister for Ednca-tion was planning a policy which wouldrender the greatest possible service tothe child of to-day in encouraging itto follow the pursuit for which it wasendowed by Nature, and if the UnitedParty adopted that policy it would golown in history as the Party that hadjiven the child a real chance.

Land Aggregation.The motion was seconded by Mr G.

C. Manas (Roskill), who endorsed theprevious speaker's references to the

! King and Governor-General. ReferrinKto the recent earthquake, he said itwas particularly gratifying to see theresponse of the public to the appealfor relief. Money could not do every-thing but it would do much. Hecongratulated the Government on theimmediate steps it had taken and de-precated the unwarranted and ill-advised criticism which had appearedin some letters on the subject. Hesupported the remarks of the previousspeaker in reference to land aggrega-tion, and said the Government hadalready purchased 9127 acres of landat an average price of a little over£2l per acre. For twelve sectionsit had had 160 applicants, of whom 90were approved by the Government.The matter was then put to a ballotand there were now twelve settlerswhere there was one formerly. He-added that the Minister for Lands wasgoing to ask for a development fund,the object of which would be to makeloans to those who were willing toacquire poorer class lands, also tothose already on such lands. He thenreferred to aviation, which, he said,the Government was developing as op-portunity offered. It was pleasing tosee the number of young New Zealand-ers who wished to" become pilots. Hecontended that the most ardent op-ponent of war could not state thataviation in New Zealand was anythingbut a factor of defence and not offence.

Factors in Unemployrnsnt.Referring to unemployment, he said

two contributing factors were modernmachinery and the increasing num-bers of the fair sex who were displac-ing men in what was formerly rightlyor wrongly regarded as the latter ssphere. He uttered an emphatic pro-tost against the inability to have morethan a very restricted number of boysapprenticed to various trades. Hethen referred to the opportunity theactivities of the State Advances .Officeoffered for employing large numbers ofcarpenters and other tradesmen. Hef-onsidered that the activities of thisDepartment and the liousing problemwere closely interlocked. Referring tothe railways, he claimed that the elec-tors had endorsed the policy outlinedby the United Party, and it intendedto carry out that policy. He conldnot see any real objection to the ex-tension of the main fines. In regardto the proposal to reduce the wheatduties, he said that while he hadpreviously supported such reduction hehad since realised that it might meanthe bankruptcy of many farmers inthe South Island and he now consid-ered the question was one which shouldbe subjected to the soundest investi-gation. In conclusion, he appealedfor the co-operation of all Parties ofthe House in seeking a solution of thepressing problems of the dav. NewZealand was too good a countrv to<* wrecked by Party politics.the Leader of the Opposition thenmoved the adjournment, and theHouso rose at 9.10 p.m. till 2.30 p.m.to-morrow.

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

WELLINGTON, July S.The Legislative Council met at 2.30

p.m. to-dav.Resuming the Address-in-Reply de-

bate, the Hon. Mr Garland said heconsidered it only just and fair that a&ea link should be established betweenthe southern part of the Dominion andAustralia, especially as a new avenuefor trade would thus be opened. TheSpeech from the Throne had indicatedthat the policy of the late Governmentin respect of the League of Nationswas in the opinion of the present Ad-ministration on the right lines, and b«hoped the Government would continuethat policy with a view to maintainingpeace. In commending the declaredpolicy in Western Samoa, he said agreat deal of patience would have tobe exercised with the natives, and un-less firmness was used there might befurther serious trouble*

The Hon. Mr Snodgrasa spokechiefly in regard to the earthquake,expressing appreciation of the assist-ance rendered by the Government anddeprecating the criticism made de-liberately that the Government hadnot taken prompt steps to afford re-lief. No people in New Zealand weremore deserving of help than thosehardy people who had sufferedthroughout the earthquake withoututtering a complaint. lie expressedpleasure at the announcement that aninvestigation was being made with aview to bringing waste Jands into cul-tivation, and that evidence was to begathered from industrial and farmingsources as well as from educationalgroups with a view to improvement* inthe education system.

The Hon. Mr Mclntyre also spokeappreciatively of the Government'sgenerous earthquake relief assistance,but criticised the central administra-tion committee as much too large. Theycould not close their eyes to the factthat a large proportion of theSamoans were discontented with thepresent Administration, and he be-lieved a' blunder had been made by in-troducing Prohibition. The nativeswere as n.uch entitled to the privilegeof having liquor as the Maoris. It wasa pity the Government had decided tocontinue the polirv of the late Govern-ment without making further investi-gation into the trouble in Samoa. Hiestrongly condemned the proposed estab-lishment of a separate Highways Boardin the South Island as the Govern-ment's greatest blunder. It wouldsplit the two Islands and lead to de-mands for separate Customs and Rail-wavs Departments.

The Council adjourned at 4 p.m.

Hut whv -Boulevard:-'' My diction-nrv tells me tlmt boulevards are Widestreets formed on the lines of old for-nti<';vt L<ui.-'. the word closely re-lated to -huhviirk." Sue!:, with rareexceptions, .:'■'• tlie P.ins boulevards.Here, where there have never beenfurtificMioii.s, the word is entirely outr,j" phice. Other itreets of fansplanted with 1 rv:; are called "avenues"of which there are a great number, theAvenue des Champs Elysces being prob-ably the finest street in the world._ Ifihe proposed road he made, and if aParis name be desired, why not call itthe Avenue tie St. Oucn, which wouldhave a further advantage m perpetuat-ing the name of the originator of theidea?

SOUTH ISLAND MAIN TRUNKLINE.

TO THE tcrTOS 0» THE PBES3.

Sir,—A friend has suggested tb.it■ome of the great advantages of theproposed early completion of the SouthIsland Mam Trunk line have beanoverlooked by the correspondents whohave discussed the subject. At pre-eeut, although our M.l'.'s and M.L.C.'shave a tree pass on the ferry steamer,*ho inconvenience caused by sea-vicknesd which these public-spiritediiiou have to eudure is too great asacrifice for the small honorarium (amere dole) which they receive. Fur-ther, tho railway servants who at pre-sent roeeive a free pass lor the railwaysand lake stearners have to pay theirown boat faro to Wellington—a greathardship which often prevents tho rail-way servants of tho South Island tour-ing tho North Island system and vice-versa. With the completion of thefe.I.M.T. tnoro facilities for travel willbe available lor our Parliamentary re-presentatives and those in the Legis-lative Assembly who are not our repre-sentatives, and the railway servantswill have more choice of routes when•njoving their annual hard-earned holi-day

*

for which, of course, they willreceive at; at present full pay. Thefarly completion of the line is a mat-ler of extreme urgency, and no battleif the routes or questions about quan-tities of stock, lime, manures to becarried must bo allowed to interfere•with this.—Yours, etc..

ASHLEY RIVER TRUST.TO THIS EDITOR OF TBI! PHBSS.

Sir,—lt was with some astonishment1 read in the report of the AshleyRiver Trust meeting "that the Ashleybad overflowed its banks only in theTicinity of Coldstream" during theflood in that river on June 19th. Hadthere been an inspection of the landeast of the lower traffic bridge duringthe flood, or even before the meeting,I doubt if that statement would havebeen made. The morning of the floodI, with others, found my way to theaandhills, and there was little to meetthe eye except Ashley. Ono property»s* practically under water and thepaddocks adjoining to the west hadwater to the depth of eight feet. Thedebris is still on the fences. Another"old man" flood in the Ashley andthe Waikuku-Rangiora Domain (mwhich I am much interested) will be athing of the past. As for the floodgate recently patched up, it remindsme of the mattress at the foot of thecliff, instead of tho fence at the top.—Yours, etc.,

SUMNER BATHING POOL.TO THE EIHTOH OF THE PRESS.

Bit,—Th« letter of your correspon-dent "Progress" in which he con-gratulates the Sumner Council on itsintention to make a swimming pool,and deplores the fact that there shouldoe anybody in opposition to it, is prob-ably accounted for by the fact that heia apparently ablo to do a "decent,•af© swim," but lacks the courage toattempt it in any portion of the seathat" is not barricaded up. My friendonly has to attempt it once, say atSttmncr down near the sheds, and liewill find that the dangers that compelMm to go to Corsair Bay and acrosstie harbour exist only m his ownmind. When one considers the ever-increasing number of children who arebeing taught to swim, and swim well,nowadavs it is a mistaken policy tofoster the sheltered life system andbaild bath 3 and barricades on a sea-front such as ours. If "Progresswere to look ahead he would see thatthe race is getting more virile, anathat ;■* the years go on the demand torwmtLcions such as he advocates will De

km and less. A proper marking orplaces unfit for bathers, the efficiencyof our surf and life-boat clubs, and a

constant impressing on the pub'"*" jind not to be too venturesome will, 1

{ m quite sure, help us to grow ana* progress on sound lines.

In short, I cannot congratulate tneRunner Council, and I think peopeibould bo encouraged to enjoy toe

grandeur and freedom of God s oceanIt would have a much better effect onthe character of our people than toencourage swimming in a funkhoie ona safe soafront.—Yours, etc.,

TRAFFIC IN THE SQUARE.TO I'HE EDITOR OF TUB P2ES3

'Sir,—Having'had the experience of4rmnjr a car in Condon practically•very day during the busiest period ofU»t year 1 have been surprised, m

rending; of the discussion with regardto the regulation of tr «:■ in the f^to see no mention of what would seemto be the oniv satisfactory solution °*

tka present difficulty, namely, circulartraffic. This method of regulating hasMMi adopted with great success at sucncongested areas as Hvde Park Corner,Pfceadillv Circus, and many othermem, mm* ojt» oan m» no aerioua rea-

son why it should not be carried outwith equal success in Cathedral square.Traffic on entering the Square wouldimmediately turn left and continue tocirculate until reaching the requiredexit. Motor-cars stooping would alwaysbo facing m the direction, andpedestrians crossing would know exactlyfrom what direction to expect traffic.Ine present narrowness of some ]x>r-tioiis or tne roadwav would not matter,or the v.-hoie width would be utilisedi>y trarhe moving ir, one direction onlv.Trams \vou!u. of cour>e, be better fall-inK mto line with the scheme, hut thequestion or routes and stopping placesis one that must bo carefully Consid-ered Hie shape or the western end ofhe Squar- presents no difficulties, butthe somewhat constricted roadwaV atthe eastern end would need iorneslight adjustment.

The much discussed tram shelter andthe existing roadway in front of theCathedral could then be abolished, andone has visions of a spacious lawn'withtrees across which would run broadpared paths for the use of pedestriansonly. A magnificent vista would thenhe obtained from Worcester street tothe west door of the Cathedral, withiine sites for future memorials.At present I think that all motoristswho have had the experience will agreewith me that it it much easier todrive in London with its overladennarrow streets, than through theCathedral square as it is at present,especially during; rush hours.—Yours,etc.,

MODERNISM.j TO THE EDITOS O? THX PBRSs!

j Sir,—You report to-day an extractfrom a speech given by the Bishop ofWaikato. Wi'] von let uie make whatseems to me a necessary explanation?

Quite certainly, from the context, theBishop, when he spoke of Modernism,was not referring to the teaching whichusually goes under that title. So hisspeech cannot bo understood as up-holding -the position which the presentday Modernist tnkes. "We must, ofcourse, be modern if we are. to speakto men of our own time. But "mod-ern" is not a synonym for true,and there are elements in the modernthought of to-day which are likely tobe the lauprhinsr stork of the modernthought of to-morrow —Yours, etc..

UNDERGRADUATE.July 3rd, 1929.

UNEMPLOYMENT.TO THE EDITOE O? THE PE233.

Sir,—During the debate on the Im-prest Supply Bill the same silly storywas repeated of the Reform Govern-ment being the cause of unemploy-ment. It is -46 years this monthsince I landed in the Dominion, andevery Government during that time hasbeen charged with the same offence;and at tho same time no Governmenthas been the causo of unemployment.It is only half-witted people who ac-cuse this or any other Government orParty of being the cause, and I thinkwe have the greatest number of dull-witted members at present that weever had.

Not one of the speakers suggested asingle job that the unemployed couldbe put to work on that would be re-productive, and it is reproductive workthat the men should be employed at.There are several jobs that large num-bers of men could be employed on—-for example, the irrigating of the Can-terbury Plains. Then there is the factthat tens of thousands of pounds aregoing out of the country to buy motorspirit and oils, white we have tensof millions of tons of shale-oil, browncoal, and lignite in the country fromwhich the motor spirit, kerosene,machine oils, paraihie wax, etc., etc..could bo produced. This was provedat Orepuki over 30 years ago, whenon© of the world's greatest expertson the extraction of oils, etc, frombrown coal reported positively that itwould be a highly paying venture. Hewas very disappointed when the workswere shut down, and to, this day thepublic lias not known the reason.

At the present time, when so much-motor spirit, oils, etc., are used, avery large number of the men not ableto get a job could be employed ina highly payable primary production,and retain, a large portion of themoney in the country that is now be-ing sent to other countries. I/argesums of money are being absolutelywasted on non-reproductive works,and the country's means will not standit.—Yours, etc.,

ANZAC DAY SERVICES.

GOVERNOR-GENERAL'S VIEWS.

(PRESS ASSOCIATION . TELE&EAM.)

HASTINGS, July 3.The Governor-General and Lady Alice

Fergusson arrived last evening andwere received by the Mayor (Mr H. M.Campbell, M.P.). and prominent citi-zens.

Later his Excellency was the gueatof honour at an «-Seryico men s re-union. On rising to reply to the toastof his health, he received a tumultuousle!r Charles Fergusson said that, ofallthe functions which he had attendednone gave him greaterthan those which afforded tagopportunity of meeting old comrade*who had been through the mill J» ithhim. and those veterans ot the Maori,South African, and other wars ion*past. The services of these reterans,who had borne the brunt of battle inthe past, must not be forgotten at

R S.A. reunions, or their deeds allowedto be eclipsed by the Great \Var.

Referring to a speech he had madein Auckland, the Governor-Genera!said that a statement he had made re-garding the observance of Anzachad been misunderstood. He had heardit said that he had advised the holding

of a different kind of Anzac Day, andthat it should bo a day of holiday andjollification. He said nothing of the

tort, What he did say was that in ourservices on Anzac Day we should keep

up the intense solemnity of the ser-vices but that we should not let tnesadness of the occasion overshadow theo-lory of the day. which was quite a

different thins: from altering the char-acter of the dav. He did not like ser-vices when women wept It, was notin the spirit of the men who ined thatpeople should think only of the mourn-ful side and lav no stress on the rfory

of the deeds of those who had fallen.Continuing, he -said that those who

had the good fortune to return fromthe war had still Work to do bv foster-ing the spirit of comradeship hy neverletting a comrade down. They hafl

served their King in the stress of war,

DEATH UNDER ANAES-THETIC.

CORONER'S COMMENT.

(PBESS ASSOCIATIGK TeI.KGSU.IC.)

HAMILTON, July 3.The Coroner, Mr F. W. Platts, m

giving his verdict this morning at theinquest into the death of Thomas Wil-liam Atkinson, aged 19, who diedunder an anaesthetic in the WaikatoHospital after a nasal operation, saidthe usual steps to promote respirationwere taken promptly when thepatient's collapse was noticed by a bos-pitaJ sister, but it was unfortunatethat both nurses were out of the wardwhen the collapse began. This experi-ence indicated that in similar cases anurse should be detailed for exclusiveattention to a patient while under ananaesthetic. This course was now fol-lowed onlv when the surgeon or super-intendent' so directed. The cause ofdeath wa? difficult to explain with cer-taintv. The medical evidence was thatan enlarged thymus gland rendered thepntient especially susceptible to the a<>tion of the anaesthetic and the shock ofthe operation, and such a conditionwas undiscoverable bv external exam-ination. A verdict was given accord-ingly, and the Coroner expressed sym-pathy with the relatives.

ADMITTED TO PROBATION.

(raESS iSSOCIATIOK TKXOSiSI.)

BLENHEIM, July 3.Tiggo Lumlye, aged 22. formerly of

the Hamilton district, pleaded guiltyto a charge of mischief in that he de-stroyed by fire on May Bth on the TeKowhia-Ngaruawahia road a motor-cycle valued at £43 which he waspurchasing; on time-payment from J.and W. White, Newmarket. He ptud£lO on the machine and when the armattempted to regain possession for non-payment of instalments he burned themotor-cycle. He was admitted to pro-bation for twelve months and orderedto pay. £2O damages at. the rate-of£2 »'month.

SELLING LIQUOR ONSUNDAY.

A TIMABU CASE.

John Selway, the licensee of theShamrock Hotel, Timaru, was con-victed and fined £2O, with costs, at theMagistrate's Court yesterday, on acharge of having sold liquor on Sun-

day, June 30th, when his premises

were required to be closed.Mr C R. Orr Walker, S.M., was on

the Bench. , ,Defendant, who was represented by

Mr W. Raymond, pleaded guilty.Senior-Sergeant T. Gibson said t.iat

on the lease as well as on the freehold?Mr Raymond : That is correct.The Magistrate: A mortgagee on

The defendant was not entitledto anv consideration at all, havingbroken the law in a flagrant manner.Why a man should gamble his positionso much for the paltry sum obtainedfrom the sale of liquor on Sunday hedid not know. He had to hesitate mendorsing a license that wou!d affectinnocent people, and it was after con-siderable hesitation that he had de-cided not to endorse the license in thiscase. Accused would be convicted andfined £2O and costs.

Nomina lions for tho postponed day©f tho South Canterbury Jockey Club'sWinter Meeting, to be held on Thurs-day, July U.Uh. will close at 'J p.m. onTuesday. Nominations for the SouthCanterbury Hunt Club's Meeting to befield on Saturday, July 27th, will be«lue at tho same time.

Mr P. IX McNab, wiio recently re-signed from his position of starter totho Canterbury Jockey Club and toseveral of the provincial clubs, hasagreed to continue in office for themetropolitan body only and will offi-ciate at tho forthcoming Grand Na-tional Meeting. When Mr McNabsignified his intention of resigningnome months back steps were taken bythe clubs affected to select a successorfrom several aspirants for the work,nut evidently a satisfactory appoint-ment could not be decided upon, andso far as the C.J.C. was concerned theymade mi offer to Mr McNab, which hehas agreed to accept. The provincialclubs will not bo able to secure hisservices, and it will be necessary forthem to make their own appointment.Mr McNab's re-entry into the positionat Riccarton will be well received byowners, trainers, riders, and the publicgenerally, as he has proved himself tobe a past master at the barrier, andnas carried out his duties without fear©r favour.

Mr A. Louisson has effected the pur-chase of the rising three-year-old TrueShaft front A. McAuley, and the geld-ing will be taken to Sydney as a tra-velling companion for Nightmarch. Hehas not yet been raced, but may beproduced at some of the smaller Meet-ings on the trip.

It is learned from private advicesthat Mr J. M. Johnston, secretary ofthe Manawatu Racing Club, is atpresent seriously indisposed in a pri-vate nursing home at PalmerstonNorth, and his condition is such as tocause anxiety.

Aberfeldv (I. Tilson) gave a faultless•xhibition in a round of the hurdles atRiccarton yesterday morning. He isat present in the best possible racingcondition and will carry the confidenceof southern enthusiasts in his engage-ments at Wellington.

Amorist <G. Salt), who is also in goodorder to go to Trentham, was sent overa couple of fences, but in the absenceof any pace he did not jump toocleanly. Better results will, however,be forthcoming with the colours up.

The Waimate Hunt Club has re-ceived satisfactory nominations for itsannual race meeting to be held on July20th. Riccarton stables are repre-sented in the list bv the following:Projector. Lancer, Oriflamb, Radiao.Martian Spear, Mime, and Waterlow.

At a meeting of the Canterbury Dis-triot Committee held on Tuesday thefollowing programmes wer« approved:Christchurch Hunt (Hunters' Trials),July 13th ; South Canterbury JockeyClub, July 25th. Licenses were recom-mended as follow : —Gentleman rider,P. McCraeken; Jockeys, M. Kirwan,E.'S. Olsen, and W G. Paterson.

From present appearances, G.Murra.v-Aynsley has a strong team toenter upon tlio new season's racing.Included in his yearling brigade aretwo very attractive fillies The Geisha,by Tea Trov from Stardancer. andSpoon, bv Tea Tray from VVarlove.They are well grown and have createdn favourable impression by the sprint-ing work they nave executed in theafternoons at Riecarton.

Eoyal Elm, trained by T. P. Quin-livan at Hastings, appears to havefavourable prospects in the WellingtonSteeplechase. He is only new at thegame, but so far this season, he hasa good record, winning the ParkSteeplechase at Napier and theHawke's Bay Steeplechase at Hastings.Advice from Hastings states.ho is oneof the most improving 'chasers in com-mission in those parts, and many race-goers have labelled him as a likelyGrand National proposition.

Handy remained at Washdyke afterthe South Canterbury Winter Meeting,and is to race at the forthcomingWaimate and Timani fixtures.

The contest for next week's Wel-lington Steeplechase is arousing muchinterest in racing circles, and thegeneral opinion is that investors areconfronted with a difficult problem.The ruling favourites comprise Nuku>mai, Kawini, Brigadier Bill, andKing's Guard. In the Whyte Handi-cap, Euanui Biso*. High Pitch, Val-kon, Paddon, Fairy Herald, and Mou-toa Treasury are in most demand.

The veteran hurdler, Projector, hasbeen in steady work at Riecarton torsome weeks past and appears to beefcanding up to his tasks satisfactorily.He will probably make his reappear-ance at the Waimate Hunt Club'sMeeting, nt» which his trainer, H.Nurse, has also Oriflamb, Lancer, andMartian Spear engaged. This quartettewill also race at Washdyke the follow-ing week.

Royal Duke, one of H. B. Lorigan'steam at present in Australia, made hisfirst appearance in public on Satur-day last, finishing in fourth place, inthe Flying Handicap at the Canter-bury Park Meeting. The tratk was ina heavy condition, and this would notauit the visitor.

Ali has gone well with Kauri Parklately (reports the "Herald"), and heis working along in a style that sug-gests he is none the worse for thethree hard races he had at the recentwinter carnival. Last week he wentvery nicely in a gallop with Moat*-Boon and Kamehameha, and it is

probable that he may be a betterhorse at Trentham than when he racedlately. Ac he is a verv rel'able fencerand also stavs well. Kauri Park maybe a distinct possibility with his handyweight of 9-2 in the WellingtonSteeplechase.

' Wiltshire was doing favourably fora time after the Auckland WinterMeeting, where he h«d a fall in theGreat Northern Hurdles. In the earlypart of last week he had a recurrenceof the trouble that affected him afterhis fall, the damage appearing to bein the kidneys. During the last few-days Wiltshire has shown some im-provement in his condition, but it isunlikely that he will be a starter atthe Wellington Club's Winter Meet-ing (says the "Waikato Times"). Wilt-shire has been nominated for theGrand National Meeting, but it willdepend on how he fares in the inter-val so far as racing at Riccarton isconcerned.

The New Zealand jockey M. Mc-Carten has had a remarkable run ofdead-heats this season (remarks aSydney writer). McCarten has dead-heated for first on Pentheus, PrinceVerderer, Amusement (twice). andKillarnef. He has also been con-cerned in some dead-heats for minorplaces. The trainer, G. Price, hasalso been making something of a re-cord in dead-lwats. He trained Amuse-ment when that horse ran his coupleof dead-heats, and he is also thetrainer of Killarney, whoat Rosehill with McCarten in the sad-dle.

TROTTING NOTES.

Nominations of stallions for the For-bury Park Trotting Club's New Zea-land Sires Produce Stakes close at 5p.m. on Friday.

The monthly meeting of the Boardof the New Zealand Trotting Associa-tion will be held in Wellington onMonday, at 9 a.m.

Man o' War, one of the greateststayers raced in New Zealand, is tostand the coming season at Methyenand he is certain to be well patronisedby owners of brood mares. Duringthe present season, the Peri Huonhorse had a number of promisingyoung ones representing him, theseincluding Warplane, Warspite, QueenElizabeth, Medusa (who was killedrecently), and the two-year-oldPurser.

For the first time since 1921, de-funct Logan Pointer has been deposedfrom his position as leading sire inNew Zealand for Nelson Bingen'sstock have won over £19,000, a thous-and pounds more than is credited toLogan Pointer. The youngest of thelatter's stock is five years and as Nel-son Bingen has a number of promisingyoung horses to represent him, itseems that he will head the list forsome years to come. Great Audubonand Brent Locanda have been well upin the list for some years past and thisyear they occupy second and thirdpositions.

Up to the present Author Jinks hasbeen racing in the partnership ofMessrs D. O'Keefe and T. Wallis, and,he has done all his racing in the handsof the latter. Mr O'Keele bred AuthorJinks besides two half-brothers inLady Cello and John Jinks, both goodperformers. The lease has run out andMr O'Keefe is now the sole owner. Pos-sibly Author Jinks will in future betrained by D. Teahan, who is alsohandling Lady Cello and John Jinks,but it is probable that he will go intoa Christchurch stable to be preparedfor the New Zealand Cup and FreeFor All. Author Jinks has proved oneof the greatest horses for his inchesever raced in New Zealand and whena three-year-old he did more hard rac-ing than is usually asked of one ofhis tender years.

The Design, an American-bred trot-ter that* has done several seasons .attho stud, won a race at the AustralianTrotting Club's Meeting on June 17th.He went the mile and a half in 3.321-5. The Design hod a mile record of2.8£ made in America.

If somebody was big enough totake two of the three associationsseeking to govern harness racing andtoss them permanently into the ashcan, or, better yet, able to discard allthree and give the sport one national,all-powerful controlling body, the trot-ters and pacers might get somewherefsays an American writer. E. RolandHarriman, president of the TrottingClub of America, has emerged as thebiggest man the game has enjoyed foryears, but even he is finding it a hope-less task reconciling the differences ofthe National, the American, and theHarness Horse Associations. Each hasdifferent eligibility rules, what is afast class in one jurisdiction may be aslow class in another and the hopelesstask is given every racing secretary ofdeciding for hinuself to what race vari-ous horses are eligible. The trouble isthat the three secretaries of the threebodies are more interested in collect-ing dues and penalties than in realgovernment. The result can only bechaos and the withdrawal of the fewmen of influence and standing whomight be able to do the sport somegood.

N.Z. METROPOLITANT.C.

ANNUAL MEETING.

The annual meeting of members ofthe New Zealand Metropolitan TrottingClub was held last evening, Mr C. M.Ollivier presiding over a fair attend-ance.

The report and balance-sheet (alreadypublished) were taken as read.

The chairman said that though thereceipts showed a decrease, he felt cer-tain that the position was quite satis-factory to members.

Mr D. J. Kelleher asked a question asto the £3OOO appearing in the balance-sheet as expenses for race meetings.

The chairman gave details of the ex-penditure incurred in the employment ofassistant judges, timekeepers, casualhands, luncheons, etc.

In answer to Mr W. E. Simes, itwas said that the cost of luncheons andentertainments was £632.

Mr F. W. Johnston said he thoughtthe club should be congratulated onthe great improvement it had made tothe bad turn going out of the straight.There had not been an accident sincethe turn was improved.

Mr W. E. Simes asked what amountthe elub received from dividend frac-tions during the year.

The answer was £2104, and that thetotalisator proprietor received half ofthis amount and the club the other half.

The report and balance-sheet wereadopted. .

,.

Mr G. E. Way was reappointed audi-tor.

~ ,

The election of officers resulted asfollows:—President, Mr J. H. Wi hams;vice-president, Mr C. M. Ollivier;treasurer, Mr F. E. Graham; stew-ards, Messrs W. Hayward, A.Smith, W. H. Holliss, A. L. Matson, F.E. Sutton, F. W. Johnston, C. H. Piper,J. Westerman, T. H. Ker, G. W. C.Smithson, J. Wood, and Dr M G.Louisson; committee, Messrs VY. Hay-ward, C. H. Piper, and A. Smith.

Mr Simes asked how long the con-tract with the present totalisator pro-prietor would last, and what were theprospects of securing an electric tota-lisator at Addington.

It was explained that the question ofthe erection of an electric totalisatorwas under consideration, and it washoped that it would be installed in duecourse. The arrangement with thepresent totalisator proprietor would ex-pire at the end of the present month.

Mr F. E. Graham moved: "That thismeeting supports the proposed altera-tions to the Gaming Act." It seemedthat this was an opportune time for an•xpression of opinion from members.

The motion was carried.Mr Hayward said that Mr J. C. Clark-

son had retired from the position of

steward of the club after twenty years'service. All would regret the decisionof this sportsman, and few realised theexcellent work he had done for theclub and the sport. He proposed avote of thanks for the services ren-dered by Mr Clarkson.

This motion was seconded by MrOllivier, and carried with acclamation.Mr Simes asked what arrangementsthey had with the Canterbury ParkClub for the expenditure of money onthe Addington course.

The chairman explained that in re-gard to necessary improvements the mat-ter was decided upon by both clubs, butif the Metropolitan Club wished tomake extra accommodation it had tofoot the bill, for the Canterbury ParkClub found the present arrangementsgood enough. As a matter of fact, theclub was in a better position now thanwhen it actually held the lease.

A vote of thanks was accorded thestaff. ' '■■ r

FOOTBALL.

I BY TWO POINTS.

SCHOOL BEATS COLLEGE.

By the narrow margin of two pointsBoys' High School defeated Christ'sCollege on the College ground yester-day in the 52nd match between the in-stitutions. There was a large attend-ance, including a full representationfrom the College and the School, thecries of each being in evidence through-out the game. The day was bright andsunny, and the turf was in excellentorder, hut a trifle on the soft side.

The tenm3 were:—

BOYS' HIGH SCHOOL (Blue andBlack).

Full-back: H. S. Escott.Three-quarters: X. MeClelland, S. A.

Koberts, and L. S. White.Five-eighths: G. F. Steven3 and W.

Brittenden.- Half-back: H. E. Cook.

Wing-forward: D. J. Lee.Forwards: A. Bowes, I. G. McNeill, E.

K. Hounse.ll, O. G. Wood, E. W.Cross, H. M. Fountain, and D. D.McKenzie (captain).

CHEIST'S COLLEGE (Black andWhite).

Full-back: J. Heasley.Three-quarters: W. Acton-Adams, A. J.

Aitken (captain), and D. F. Ander-son.

Five-eighths: B. F. Anderson and V.T. Hitehings.

Half-back: A. M. Gunn.Wing-forward: J. T. Jessep.Forwards: J. B. Ferguson, B. H. Lud-

brook, J. H. Holderness, B. T. Mase-fleld, J. K. Stevenson, F. D. Eath-erford, and C. G. Hamilton.

Although there have been many morespectacular games than yesterday'sbetween School and College, it is safeto say that seldom has better tacklingbeen seen. It was to this more thanany other feature of the game that manymovements which gave promise of de-veloping into brilliance were nipped inthe bud. The players on both sidesearned applause and admiration by thepluck they displayed in going down tofierce rushes and throwing themselvesagainst backs determined on scoring.They provided evidence in plenty thatthey had been well coached in this con-nexion, and also that they were thematerial from which good footballersare made, both sides playing up tothe best traditions of their respectiveinstitutions. Time and again the backswould get away from a scrum only tobe tackled so effectively that not onescore was obtained from a passingmovement—quite an unusual featureof the school football. When theteams took the field College appearedto be the heavier in the forwards, butthis might have been due to the colourof their jerseys. Certain it was, how-ever, that both sides were well matchedforward and back, and the difference inthe scores just about represented thedifference between the teams. HighSchool were the quicker to take advan-tage of the opportunities that cametheir way, and it was because of thisthat they were able to score two tries,but on the other hand Christ's Collegenever onee eased up nor lost heart, sothat when Aitken, realising that thedefence was too good to allow its lineto be crossed, displayed initiative bykicking a splendid field goal in the laststages of the game, making the scoresdifferent by, only two points, the marginwas not sufficient for High School tofeel safe. The supporters of the lat-ter side, therefore, were not sorry whenthe whistle sounded, enabling HighSchool to leave the ground winnersaftera game that will take rank among thehardest fought in the lengthy seriesthat have been played. As a result ofthe match, High School have now won26 games, and Christ's College 21, whilefive have been drawn.

THE PLAY.

School kicked off, the ball being re-turned to near the twenty-five. Schoolforwards soon came away in a goodrush, taking play to well inside the Col-lege territory, a free-kick relieving thedefenders. College got the ball froma scrum, but good work by the Blues'forwards frustrated their efforts to openup play. A hot attack on the Collegeline failed to penetrate the. defence, theball being sent baek to half-way, whereplay remained until the School for-wards transferred it to the other endof the field again. The defenders'line was in danger, but their forwardsrelieved the position, which was im-proved by judicious kicking.

Escott missed a kick at goal, andthen for the first time for a while Col-lege set up a hot attack on their op-ponents' line. A passing rush by theSchool backs broke down and Aitken,picking up, made a strong run down-field, following it up with a kick whichgained a lot of ground.

College continued to attack, and oncetheir forwards nearly crossed the line,only a stout defence keeping them out.College were securing tb.3 ball from thescrums at this stage, but the defenders'backs made no mistakes when theytackled their men, and so the line was

kept safe. A high kick was fumbled bya College back and again their line wasin danger. Twice the ball went outto the School's wings, first on the rightand then on the left, but over-eagerness,combined with sound taelfling, preventedthem from crossing.

Aitken stopped a likely-looking attackby picking up and making a usefulrun, followed by a kick, which bouncedinto touch. School were determined,however, and a kick over the defenders'heads was followed up by White,who touched down just inside the dead-ball line, scoring the first points of thematch. Escott failed to add the majorpoints. School 3; College nil.

From the drop-out College becameaggressive, the School backs, however,repelling the invaders, and setting upa counter-attack. There waß some hotwork close to the College line, but thedefence held. Play was returned to theother end of the field, where Hamilton

essayed a good but unsuccessful kick[ at goal from a penalty, the ball fall-ing just short.

Hitchings then made a dashing runbefore passing out to Acton-Adams, whokicked well down the line. College pressedand charged the full-back, Escott,who eluded them and found the line witha fifty yards' kick, placing his sideonce again on the offensive.

School secured from a scrum and thenthe backs swung into the attack. Brit-tenden hung on t:o long, however, andwas tackled in possession. There was nofurther score before the interval.

After the opening exchanges of thesecond spell, p'ay settled near halfway,but as a result of two penalty kicksCollege got to within a few yards ofthe School line. Brittenden getting hisside out of a dangerous position by anice run. Stevenson dribbled the ballback and a moment later in a race forthe ball, which v.-as kicked over theline, Acton-Adams v.-as just beaten inthe touch-down.

School attacked again, but good workby the College forwards placed theirside once again in a good position, asweeping rush nearly resulting in ascore, the ball being forced in the nickof time.

Back came School and twice a scorenearlv resulted, McCleiland once failingto accept a pass in a handy position.and later being pushed into touch. TheSchool forwards were now assertingthemselves in the scrums, and givingtheir backs plenty of chances, but thelatter lacked the necessary thrust. ACollege back carried the ball over hisown line, but from the resultant seruma force-down was recorded. A momentlater Hitchings was injured, but afterattention he was able to resume.

School continued to press and goodwork by the forwards was crowned bya try obtained by Bowes, who kickedthe ball over the line, and fell on it.Escott again was unable to convert.School 6; College nil.

College then by dashing forward playtook the ball to the School twenty-five,from where they made a series of at-tempts to penetrate the defence, which,however, was too strong for them. j

Hitchings, changing the tactics, had ]a pot at goal, but did not lift the ballhigh enough. College had a good chanceto score when they got the ball froma scrum, but Aitken, instead of sendingout to his wing, drop-kicked at goal un-successfully. He made amends in thenext few moments, when from in frontof the posts he again potted, the ballthis time striking the crossbar, andbouncing over amidst the cheers of theCollege supporters. School 6, College4.

The last five minutes of the game werecharacterised by spirited play on thepart of the School, whose forwardsrnshed the ball down the field, wherefrom a penalty kick Escott missed theposts. School were attacking whentime was called, leaving them the win-ners by 6 points to 4.

Mr E. A. Empson was referee. ]

TARANAKI BEATSWELLINGTON.

LOW SCORING MATCH.

(PBB6S ASSOCIATIOK TELEUHAJt.;

HAWERA, July 3.A crowd estimated at between 5000 and

6000 witnessed tbe annual Rugby game be-tween the Taranaki and Wellington pro-vincial fifteens this afternoon, when Taranakitook the decision by 6 points to 3.

As indicated by the low ecores, the gamewas a hard-fought battle with the aidesfairly evenly matched, though a slight mar-Kin of the territorial honours had to becredited to Taranaki. The visiting team wasconsiderably below Wellington's strength,notable absentees being the All Blacks. L.G Porter, M. Nicholls, C. Rushbrook, andNepia's full-back rival, He&zlewood. Two ofTaranaki's best scoring three-quarter* werenot available, while the forward, A. Kivell,was absent with the touring AH Blacks; bu„

the Taranaki side was more truly indicativeof the province's Rugby strength than wasthe caee with Wellington's fifteen.

The play throughout was characterised bysure tackling, which prevented the explora-tion of open order passing bouts repeatedilyessayed by both rear divisions and detractedfrom spectacixlar interest. The Wellingtonmiddle backa, with L. M. Johnson (secondfive-eighths) and R. Pelham (centre) as starperformers, were more sudden and resource-ful in attack than their oppon-ents, but the advantage was offsetby the relentless spoiling of thehome men, who, with All Black F. D. Kilbyat the base of the scrum, D. Johnston atsecond five-eighths, and H. W. Brown atcentre, were also often in the picture as aswift attacking force.

Taranaki's forwards ruled the line-out andtight scrummaging, having a decidedsuperiority ir- weight. Despite this, theWellington hookers took the greater shareof the scrums, while the Wellington packas a whole held the advantage in the looseplay. Almost faultless exhibitions of full-back play v/ere given by the respective last-liners. A. Collins (Taranaki and F. Cor-mack (Wellington).

The visitors opened the soore within fourminutes. Connack, from wide out at thetwenty-five, succeeded with thf second oftwo penalty kicks. The epel; was well ad-vanced when Collin* converted a penalty forTaranaki, half-time finding the scores 3 all.

The second spell was contested at a livelypace. No score resulted till a minute beforetime For several moments TaranaW '"adbeen penned in their own twenty-five, asuccessful counter-attack developing when theforwards surged to midfield. where the rover,A. Guy, made a sensational jun whichwag stopped near the line by Dinniss. Guyretrieved the ball and sent the wing,Fookes, over for an ■unconverted try.

BUSH BEATEN.

WAIRARAPA'S EASY WIN.

(pSSSS ASSOCIATIOX TELEGSAM.)

MASTEETON, July 3.The Wairarapa representatives to-day

accounted for Bush to tho tune of 29 pointsto nil in a ragged, disappointing game. TheBush team gave a great display, their for-wards being superior to the Green pack, b'atthe backs of both sides played soundly. Thematch showed that there is still much roomfor improvement ia the Wairarapa com-bination.

i The first spell, which ended 5 to nil mj Wairarapa's favour, was a colourless exhi-bition, hut in the second half th? Wairarapa

I forwards packed better and the backshandled with more effect, putting on 24 morepoints, of which F. Fuller, in his first ap-pearance in representative football, was re-sponsible for 17, comprising one try, five con-

! versione, and a potted goal. Cooke scoredtwo tries and Yates and M. Devine one each.The Eanfurly Shield was not at stake.

CHARITY DAY.

'VARSITY V. MERIVALE.

Tor some years the Canterbury RugbyUnion have made a feat-ore of Chsrity Day,With s result that a substantial sum is eachvesr handed over to various charities of theCity. >'«' Saturday is set apart as CharitySaturday, and the Union have arranged taattractive fixture at Lancaster Park.

The Oval game is between Merivale, thechampionship leaders, ana • \ arsity. Theformer have only been beaten once, and arestrongly fancied for the shield. They possetsa good pack, supported by fast, nippy backs.Varsity, though inclined to be inconsistent,

may play one of their occasional brilliantgames, in which case the clash between thesetwo sides should provide an exciting and stir-ring struggle.

On the fcouth ground, Albion may repeattiuir performance of a few Saturdays ago,v.-Lea they defeated Christchurch in a closegame. They are, however, without the servicesof Lilbume, but may be expected to ruuChristchurch very close. On the west ground,Sydenham meet Technical. Out at the ShowGrounds, High School Old Boys meet West.on Xo. 1 ground, and on the No. 2, a seniorB game, Merivale v. Old Boys, -will beplaved.

(Received Jnly Srd, 5.S p.m.)NEW YORK, July 2.

George Cook (Australia), 13st 7Jib, andJimmy Byrne (America), 13st 131b. met ina 10-round contest at Philadelphia, and aftera willing bat comparatively even fight tbeverdict went to Byrne.

Tho first ronnd waa evenly contested. Thesecond and third went in Cook's favour, andin the fifth Byrne became decidedlysive, finishing by landing two rights to Cook's*jaw. Cook still maintained his advantageby winning the fifth, delivering heavy punchesto Byrne's head and body. The next tworounds were characterised by bard. evenfighting.

From this time Byrne began to displayhis superiority, and carried all before him.In the ninth round Byrne landed a left andright to the head and three lefts to thebody. Cook rave * left to the body. TheAmeriesn drove the Australian to the ropeswith lefts and rights to the face, and thenput a left to the body. Cook landed a rightto the body; then Byrne clinched. Eachlanded rights to the body; they clinched.Cook put two rights to the jody on in-fighting. Byrne pot a left to the body,missed with a right to the face, but landeda ha-d right to the jaw. This was BymVsronnd.

The tenth round uw both men fightinghard. Each landed heavily with lefts to thebody. Cook put a left to the head, whileByrne staggered him with hard rights andlefts to the head and then hard rights andlefts to the body. Cook missed a rirht tothe head, and Byrne landed two rights tothe face and then a harder one. Cookmissed an uppercnt as the bell rang, givingByrne the round.

The crowd booed the decision, although.in the opinion of sports writers, Byrne'sw*lrrwind finish .in the last round easilyovercame the Australian's early lead. Cookstarted furiously, carrying the fight to theAmerican in the first three rounds, betseemed unable to maintain the pace.

Before the fight Cook was favoured overByrne. Although Eyrne had the advantage

TUNNEL ROAD.

COMMISSION WANTED.

PROGRESS LEAGUE'S SUPPORTSOLICITED.

Members of the Port and City League,forming ft large deputation, waited onthe Canterbury Progress League lastnight, and asked that whole-hearted sup-port should be given to the tunnel roadproposition.

The Progress League decided that adefinite answer could not be given with-out a full investigation, and a specialcommittee was appointed to considerwhether the deputation had made outa sufficiently strong case to 6upport thesetting-up of a commission, and to makea report to the next meeting.

Mr F. W. Freeman said that electri-fication had been provided for under theHiley scheme, and all they got out ofthat scheme, which should have beenhalf a million, was £IBO,OOO. Generallythe farmers should be behind the pro-position. One farmer had written tothe effect that the sooner the railwaymonopoly was removed the better itwould be, as Timaru was getting tradethat should be going through Lyttelton.

"Kail-ways' Strangle-Hold."Mr W. E. Lascelles said they ex-

pected the sympathy of the ProgressLeague. The principles of the Port andCity League were optimism and faith.The League recognised that the climateof New Zealand was one of the finestin the world. Modern science had an-nihilated the disabilities of the pastand everything pointed to New Zealandbecoming the Britain of the South. Can-terbury had a vast array of naturalgifts which made for great pride in theprovince. It had been found that theCanal scheme was not practicable. Lyt-telton was one of the best land-lockedharbours in New Zealand, therefore, theLeague was out for its development.The League stood for the abolition ofthe strangle-hold of the Governmentrailways, and the iniquitous system oftruck storage. No one had been ableto controvert the League's arguments.It was their duty to see that a littlerock and earth was not allowed to bea barrier to the port.

"It is useless to sit in armchairsand simply point the finger of prideat the old pioneers. We also are thepioneers, for we are a young country.This i 3 an era of rationalisation, theelimination of waste and the applica-tion of science," said Mr Lascelles."Our hope and endeavour is to rational-ise Canterbury and we look to the Pro-gress League for sympathy. Some of youmen are getting grey and we are theyounger men who have a bigger stakein the province. Our scheme is reason-able in cost, and fundamentally sound."In 1864, he said, 62 per cent, of thepopulation of New Zealand was in theSouth Island, and last year the SouthIsland contained 38 per cent.

Controlled from Wellington.Mr J. B. Hayward said it was the

inefficiency of the railway system thatcaused the agitation for the canalEclteme in 1908. It was an acknow-ledged fact that there was a very in-efficient service between port and City.Of course the railwaymen had workedunder great difficulties and were to becommended. 'Unfortunately the controlwas in the hands of people in Welling-ton, who had no interest in the SouthIsland. "We want motor traction toLyttelton. We can only get that bycutting a hole in the hill and securingdirect access to the port. It is timefor us to move. The farmers want allthe assistance they can get in the wayof patting their produce on the shipsat the lowest possible cost. I appealto you with tb3 greatest of confidence,"he concluded.

Tee Time Factor.Mr W. E. Carey dealt with the time

factor, stating that Christchurch couldnot cope with the northern ports. Goodswere unloaded and sold in northern portsbefore they %vere seen in Christchurch.He could see no reason why the Pro-gress League should withhold its sup-port from the scheme.

Mr A. L. Macfarlanc spoke on cargo-handling. When a ship unloaded a cargoin Wellington, he said, alongside thecargo were to be found all the officials,and the importer, after receiving thegoods, could" distribute them all overthe Dominion. There were all sorts offacilities to speed up the handling. InLyttelton the cargo was placed in thetrucks. Then it went to Christchurchand to the Customs officials. The Christ-church man lacked the facilities at thedisposal of the Wellington merchant.The speaker quoted instances of periodsof from about four days to 14 dayselapsing before Christchurch businessfirms received their goods.

Mr P. G. Dunn spoke on the economicside of the position. The question wasnot one of cost, he said, but whetheran improvement was a necessity. Tomake Lyttelton an economic port thetunnel road was an absolute necessity.Valuable contracts had been lostthrough the barrier between City andport. Once the tunnel was putthrough the cost would gradually de-crease. The tunnel road must come,and the League hoped that the ProgressLeagae would help to bring it aboutin the present generation.

Mr F. J. Belton said that motortransport could compete favourablywith railways up to 70 miles' haulage.With six and eight-wheeled vehiclesthat distance could be increased to120 miles.

Less Handling.Mr H. M. Chrystall said the logical

answer to the problem was motor trans-port through a vehicular tunneL Ahighway was impossible, therefore thetunnel was a necessity. The tunnelwould be the quickest and cheapest jobever carried out. The question ofventilation was a bogey. Against the21 handlings ofgoods under the presentsystem there would be 13 under motortransport.

In replv to Mr J. O. Coop, Mr Chrys-tall said "the cost of the tunnel wouldbe approximately £470,000, and thefirst instalment in the remodelling ofthe harbour would be £720,000. Therailway reconstruction did not concernthe Port and City League.

The president (Mr J. A. Flesher):What Mr Coop wants to kaow is thetotal cost.

Mr Chrystall: The railway costs donot enter into it.

The president: We wouldlike you tobe perfectly frank.

Mr Chrystall: We are frank.Mr Freeman: This railway business

is merely a red herring.The president: We understand that a

million and a quarter will be the totalcost. ,

Mr H. G. Livingstone (one of thedeputation): The cost of alterations tothe railways hardly affects us. Thatis more of"a national matter. It willnot affect us so much as the other costs.

Mr Freeman appealed for the Pro-gress League's support in the setting upof a Commission.

The president said that the ProgressLeague could not come to any decisionthat night, but he would promise con-sideration of the project by theLeague. He thanked the deputationfar its inionn*tion.

VOCATIONALGUIDANCE.

MENTAL TESTING ININDUSTRY.

LECTURE TO PHILOSOPHICALINSTITUTE.

A. meeting of the Philosophical Insti-tute of Canterbury was held at Can-terbury College last evening, when Dr.C. E. Beeby gave an address on"Mental Testing in Industry.'' r -

Beeby explained that psychology, as ap-plied to vocational guidance, was yetm its infancy, and was mainly or anexperimental nature, but interestingresults had been obtained. W WBSnecessary to produce practical effect*to convince the man in the street,i'hereiore, besides attempting to snow-methods in psychology, he would try toshow some of the modern applicationsof that science.

There was an immense difference be-tween psychology and the physicalsciences. Formerly psychology had at-tempted to show how men were 9Si*e >but now the study was of individualdifferences. As soon as it was realisedthat individuals differed it was at onceobserved that types of occupation alsodiffered, which was a practical diffi-culty. Psychology, however, was seek-ing ~to fit "individuals into occupationssuited for them. There was a tremen-dous waste of energy and ability byindividuals who Were in occupationsunsuited for theic.

The method in operation at presentwas entirely haphazard. It was notmuch use to tella child about to takeup a trade that he must hare keen-ness, energy, and ability to mastertechnical difficulties. Thee points wereobvious. Psychology, although in itsinfancy, sought to fit the square peginto the square hole by scientificmethods, and there were several reli-able tests already evolved for suitabilityfor various occupations. The tests,however, were mainly negative. Onecould prove definitely that an indivi-dual would make a bad bus-driver, forexample, hut it was not yet possibleto prove that he would make a goodone.

Testing methods used were, broadlyspeaking, intelligence tests. Intelli-gence was not at all easy todefine andit was beyond the powers of anyone tosay of what intelligence consisted. Forvocational purposes it was understoodto consist of two factors, general in-telligence and special ability.

_

Twostudents might enter a Tnirersity onexactly the same level of general in-telligence. One might take law andthe other engineering and each mightobtain a degree with first-class honours.Yet if the. subjects had been reversedboth might have been failures. Thiswas where special ability came intonlav. If fin employer hsd a vacancyhe must first te=t for general intelli-gence and secondly for special abilities.Dr. Beeby then Erav<> illustrations ofsome of the methods of testing forspecial ability.

AMATEUR RADIO.

REGULATIONS CRITICISED.

The manner in which amateur radiotransmitters are discouraged in New-Zealand by the Post and TelegraphDepartment through repressive regula-tions was criticised at last night'smeeting of the executive of the Can-terbury Progress League, the recentisolation of the West Coast being given

as an example."The Post and Telegraph Department

discourages strongly amateur radiotransmitters in New Zealand, and tneDepartment; goes to an extraordinarylength to prevent any loss of revenue.It curtails individual liberty in a man-ner which is equal to traffic being for-bidden on the roads because the Gov-ernment owns the railways," said Mr3. E. Strachan in a report on the useof radio in times of national emer-gency.

"Jt is only in an emergency that theresults of such repressive regulationsbecome known," he said, referring tothe lack of two-way radio communica-tion with the West Coast during therecent earthquake. The recent isola-tion of the West Coast, he said, waspart of the price paid for the Depart-ment's attitude-

It was decided to appoint MrStrachan convener of a committee togo into the question, and to send hisreport on to the Postmaster-Generaland to all members of Parliament.

FORGERY ADMITTED.

,f?BSSS ASSOCiaTIOK TSI.3GRAM.}

HAMILTON, July 8.William Augustine Lagan, of Christ-

church, to-day pleaded guilty to forg-ing a cheque for £l3 in the name ofD. E. Berge (Rotorua) and uttering itto Lionel B. Harvey (Hamilton). Hewas committed for sentence. A fur-ther six charges are pending, allegingforgery at Auckland, and false pre-tences at Reefton, Ashburton, Napier,and Nelson.

Committee Appointed.Mr W. K. McAlpine said a special

committee should be set up to go intosuch a big question. The committeeshould have power to co-opt experts.The costs of the reconstruction at Lyt-telton would be tremendous, and veryfull information should be before theexecutive. The matter should go be-fore the people of Christchurch also.He moved in that direction.

Mr G. H. Judd seconded the motion.Mr Frank Thompson said a Commis-

sion should sift all the informationavailable.

Mr G. M. Hall: The matter will haveto go before a Commission. The Pro-gress League could then gain a leadfrom the Commission's report.

The president: We have had eight ornine speeches on this matter to-night,but very few details.

Mr Coop: We should not be antagon-istic to the Port and City League untilwe find out whether they are right ornot. There is no doubt that youngpeople are going off to the NorthIsland. If it means the betterment ofCanterbury, we should help the Portand Citv" League, after investigatingthe whole position, of course.

Mr Judd: The deputation has askedus a definite question, and what isyour answer to be? We can take it bystages, and perhaps pnt it off as longas possible.

Mr McAlpine agreed to his motionbeing altered to read as follows: "Thata special committee be set up to con-Eider whether the deputation has madeout a case sufficiently strong to sup-port the setting up of a Commission,and to make a report to the nextMeeting."

The following were appointed to thecommittee:—Messrs J. A. Flesher. W.K. MeAlpine, Frank Thompson. J. E.Strachan, M. W. Stevenson, G. M.Hall, W. Gcss, J. O. Coop, and H. W.Heslop.

ENGLAND DRAWS WITHSOUTH AFRICA.

TATE'S FIRST TEST CENTURY.

(CKI7E3 PE«SB aSSOCIVriOK—BY BT-SCTHICTELEGRAPH—COPTBIOHT.)

LOKDOX, July 2.In the lest match between England and

South Africa, Leylaad and Tate made a,

magnificent stand and etaved off a. threaten-ing defeat. Tiey ecored 129 in lhr 15min, in•pite of the valiant egorti of the SouthAfricans.

Morkei wag getting much spin and paceoil the ball from a. worn pitch. Ho earlytook Hcndren'e middle stump, the ball com-ing in from the teg aide with a break ofsix inches. He similarly dUmissed Him-moDd, who was crippled and had Crawley aerunner. The score stood at four for &S.

Crawley remained to run for O'Connor,who was handicapped by an injury. Hesnicked a leg ball to Cameron, and the scorestood at five for 188.

The situation appeared desporat? whenTate came in, and he gave the pluckiest dis-play ol fireworks. He slashed Ochse to theboundary with hi* first ball. Leyland wasbatting more freely, hitting Morkel, whenhe was again brought on, for two foursand cue two in one over. Ha leached 5Sin two hours. At this stage almost everyball yielded a run, the South Africans' over-keenness bpparentiy affecting their play.

The Prince of Wales arrived after lunchand received the teams. He witnessed Ley-land and Tate complete their centuries-. Ley-land, in a good all-round display, gave onepossible chance when at "27. Finally, he wascaught from his hand when drawing awayfrom the ball. Tate continued punchingruns in all directions and completed his firstTeat century in under two hours.

The South Africans set out to (?et 292in two hours and three-quarters, in the pre-sence of 10,000 spectators. They speedilyfell behind the clock, the first hour pro-ducing 41. Christy brightened things uptemporarily. Later they lost three wicketafor 25.

Play was suspended owing to the badlight at 6.45 p.m.

The match was drawn.Cameron was struck on the head by a

rising ball from Larwood and was carriedto the hospital unconscious.

EXTRAVAGANT CLAIMS.

NAILING RAINBOWS TO THE SKY.

We read in advertisements that cer-tain new remedies will work wonders,are alleviating suffering, and prevent-ing disease. Such claims, however, areoften only "nailing rainbows to thesky," and unless the article has beenproved and tried over a number ofyears, care should be taken in adopt-ing the remedy suggested.

With Fluenzol, however, the case isentirely different. It has rtood thet«rt of time During the 1918 Inflnenraepidemic Flnenzol was used with greatbenefit everywhere—in fact Fluensolwas the only remedv of its kind of-ficially ordered by the New ZealandMunitions Board.

For the prevention of Innuensa,should not all thinking people equipthemselves in order tc assist the au-thorities? We owe it to ourselves, onrrelations, friends, and acquaintancesto keep clear of infection and carefullytreat any slight cold. Therefort. fol-low the eolden role—

HUMAN VALUES.

THEIR PLACE IN TRAINING THE! YOUNG.

ij The place oi human values in thetraining of the young was discussed byMrs T. E. Taylor in a lecture to the

; Cliristchureh Parents' Association at the} Y.M.C.A. last night.

Mr E. Davies was in the chair.j The iirjest thing that could happen to

a child, said Mrs Taylor, was for his■ parents to have steadily in view the pur-

pose for which they were educating him,i having due regard to moral values. It; was necessary for parents to realise that

| the period of a child's life from birthito adolescence was the period during

| -is hi '-it its character was formed. It wasj in this period that habit 3 were formedfor good or evil. It was good for

| parents to map out, careers for theirsons, but it should not be forgotten that

! this was not all. They must be taughtI the gospel of service to others. This was

i the spirit which should he instilled intoj the child from its earlie>t years, and

! children should look up to it as an ideal.la the training of children there were

t'i'ur great factors to be considered.fiiiz'-'r.ship, nationhood, world citizen-ship, and parenthood. These were thingswhich were not ordinarily studied as ahoy or girl went through his or heracademic education. But to the speak-er's mind-"these were subjects as im-portant as any dealt with by secondaryschool or university.

Surely a training for parenthood wasone of "the most important things inlife, and what of citizenship? It wasa wonderful thing to ponder on thethousands of years of struggle thehumau race had undergone to gain itsrights of citizenship. We. did not realisewhat a glorious heritage citizenship was.Mrs Tavlor was sure the women ofNew Zealand did not. It.was wonderfulto see how the women in Eastern coun-tries took these ideas to themselve andwere prepared to make sacrifices to Boethem triumph. Our women generallydid not realise that, if they aro*c asone, they could do what they liked.It was in their power to. make NewZealand one of the greatest countriesin the world, or they could sink it tothe mediocrity of materialism.

Such was the view of life which par-ents must endeavour to give to theiryoung people, and it, was during child-hood that this must be done.

Then there was the idea of nation-hood. We were not looking forward farenough. We were "content to go onthinking everything was all right. Itwas the spirit' of those Italian patriots,Cavour ■ and Garibaldi, which wasneeded in our midst. New Zealand couldbe made the Britain of tho South ifwe cared to try.

International goodwill must also becultivated if world peace was to bemaintained. A training in parenthoodwas essential to the young, and thisshould be given by parents in the lightof .their. own belief; .The young mustknow- that they were responsible, forcarrying on the race.

"THE GLORIOUS FOURTH."

INDEPENDENCE DAY IN U.S.A.

To-day is "the Glorious Fourth," u,

date celebrated by high holiday wher-ever the "Stars-and-Stripes" fly asthe birthday of the American nation.The local American consulate will ob-serve it by running the "Stars-and-Stripes" up the flagstaff.

It is 153 rears ago to-day—on July4th, 1776—that the United States ofAmerica were born and in the eyesof many of our American cousins thehistory "of America dates from thattime. As the Romans were in thehabit of measuring dates as so manyyears before or after "The Founda-tion of the City," so United" State3citizens look upon July 4th, 1776, asthe date of the beginning of a greatera. And in truth, so it was, for itwas the day when the States brokeaway from Britain and chose to workout their own destiny.

One June 7th of that year, RichardHenry Lee, of Virginia, moved "thatthe United Colonies are of right andought to be free and independentStates." On July 2nd this motion waspassed in Congress, and two days laterissued Jefferson's famous Declaration,which "is one "of the best-known andnoblest of all documenta in AmericanState archives. That is the day whichhas become famous, the decisive Act ofJuly 2nd being completely merged inthe greater glory of the day on whichAmerica's cry for freedom was pub-lished to the world.

CHURCH REUNION.

(PBBSS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.)

HAMILTON, July 3.The Waikato Synod last night re-

solved that the reunion of Christendomshould be a matter for earnest prayerand study by all Christians.

an advance of about Is, and ewe lambs anadvance of la 6d on the previous week'srates. We quote the top price for crossbredewe hoggets for a consignment sent ia byMr W. A.

ADDLTSHEEP: There were about 15 pens in thissection, and while there was a good attend-ance there seemed to be fair competitionfor attractive consignments a little betterthan the previous week. Tha best of theewes and the best of the wethers seemedto show an advance of about 2s 6d per head;other lines sold at recent rates. The fol-lowing were the principal sales we noticed: —Sixty-four ewes from the West Coast, ramsput in April, showing the signs of travel,255: a pen of wethers, a little backwardin condition, light skins—the wethers ap-peared to be six and eight-tooth—24s 9d;50 wethers, close to the merino type, in goodcondition, 29s lid; 50 two-tooth to eight-tooth Romney ewes, in good condition. 355;GO sound-mouth Corriedale ewes, mated withBonifant's rams, good bloom on them, butlight pelt, 30s 6d; 66 well-grown wethers,splendid pelts, a little backward in condi-tion, 325.

The prices recorded wereon a similar basis to the previous week forthe greater portion, and anything that wascood quality was readily snapped up atextreme rates; in fact, nothing looked cheap

FAT CATTLE.w MATSON and CO. REPORT:—The yard-in? «,445 head. H. MATSON and CO.

handled 80 head. If it had not been torthe Chatham Island consignments, wmcamust have amounted to 60 or 70 head olcattle, the market would have been exingly small. Apparently in view of the ladvertised consignments, local vendors heldback their supplies with the above result.There was a shortage of extra good prime

beef, and wo are of the opinion that thorealisations effected of these cattle were in

advance of last week's rates by 2s to 3s percwt, bearing in mind that this is only thebest quality. Cows and heifers remained tsame, and the market was consistent throughout very little variation being noticeable.Some of the light-weight cattle sold «xcep-tionally well.
