MUSIC IN AUSTRALIA.

J MR ALFRED HILL'S PLACE.

(keom oub own correspondent.)

SYDNEY, April 11.Mr Alfred Hill is one of the few

New Zealanders, who, having achieveda fair measure of success in Australia,has succeeded in retaining hisnationality. That is to say, the news-papers still refer to him as a NewZealander and not as an Australian.It is an unfortunate fact that the otherday the ''Sydney Morning Herald''described him as an Australasian, butthat was surely a slip of the pen onthe part of the writer, and can onlybe excused on that account.

Mr Hill is best known for his de-lightful Maori compositions, and thatis perhaps the reason why he has beenable to retain his nationality. In themusical world- of Australia he is almosta romantic figure. He certainly occupiesa high place in the affections of thepeople with whom he and his musicare in close contact. Oi course, thereare thousands who do not know MrHill and his music. Mr Hill is one ofthose impassioned believers in themystery, the wonder, and the signifi-cance, the religious importance ofmusic. The progress of music in Aus-tralia has never been better exempli-fied than during the Easter week whenhundreds of musicians gathered at theSydney Conservatorium, the heart ofmusic in the Commonwealth, and dis-cussed the problems besetting theirprofession.

It has been said of Mr Alfred Hillthat he has reached the status and thestate of mind where he can say whathe pleases, and calmly ignore thepossible consequences. He is one ofthe few world-famous composers inAustralia, but to have heard him talk-ing at the conference a stranger wouldhave thought that he was a gentlemanfrom outback with musical sympathiesand a determination to interest hishearers by pretending that he was whatthe Americans call a rough neck. Con-sider this example of his oratory takenverbatim as he sat cross-legged on achair and addressed crowds of nuns andscores more of lady teachers:—

"You know, I walk about the Con-servatorium here and listen—they thinkold Hill does not keep his ears open.But he does. There are dozens of boysstudying here, and they want to playthe last quartettes of Beethoven first.Well, I thought it was up to me tocompose something easy for them, togive them a chance. Well, I have doneit. Here it is (holding aloft somesheets of music), "The Kid's Quar-tette. And if any of you anywhere inNew South Wales, want some musiccomposed for any special purpose tohelp .your pupils, I or any of the other |composers kicking about the Conserva-torium will be happy to do it for you.

There is not an utterance of MrHill's that is not sound at bottom;but for some esoteric reason the manynuns twittered among themselve3 likeso many happy birds throughout MrHill'B heartening lecture. Perhaps theymistook his philosophisings forpleasantries. His subject was supposedto be music in the home. He referred

it in the last sentence. "I havesaid all that I can say about my subject

which is nothing—because my ex-perience tells me that there is no musicin the home, unless you count in thewireless and the gramophone."

BRITISH TALKINGPICTURES.

THE LATEST DEMON-STRATION.

BRITAIN AND AMERICA

COMPARED.

(mou otra owx coehespokdent.)

LONDON, February 28.There has been shown to the cinema

trade and Press in London the latestbatch of short sound-films from thestudio of British Sound Film Produc-tions at Wembley—a building whichmany New Zealanders will rememberas the former Lucullus Restaurant ofthe Empire Exhibition.

Great interest was manfested, as pro-gress in the new art-form is beingeagerly followed by everyone connected■with the cinema, whether as patron orexploiter. Unfortunately, the occasionwas a little disappointing, emphasisingas it did the main weakness on thepart of producers of sound-films—namely, the choice of subject.

In the first picture shown—TeddyBrown and his Band—the producer hasrelied on the famous xylophonis't'senormous bulk and occasional facetious-ness to provide interest to the eye,while the ear was charmed by his un-deniably brilliant performance; further,the speed of the xylophone hammerswas usually too great for the camerato follow, so that the "natural-" effectproduced by synchronisation was ab-sent; this picture, like most of theothers, rather gave the impression ofbeing experimental. While a success-ful experiment, like a conjuring trick,catches one's fancy, one that fizzlesout has the contrary effect.

Medvedeffs' Balalaika Orchestra—-although the performers were pic-turesque with the romantic Cossack cos-tume and curious-shaped string instru-ments—was another item in which theappeal to the eye was far less thanthe appeal to the ear, and this in-equality detracted inevitably from thebalance which is the main essential ofa good sound-film. Listening to an jorchestra in the flesh, we watch the per-formers because .they happen to bethere in front of us; but when muchtrouble and expense have been under-taken to place their image before us,the mind subconsciously expects morefrom them than merely to ait -and playtheir instruments. Such subjects arctherefore not eminently suitable tosound-films, and it seems a pity at thisexperimental stage not to concentrateon those which appeal equally to eyeand ear.

A series of nautical "shots,'' en-titled ""With the Fleet at Sea," erredin the other direction. There weregiven most interesting views of an air-craft carrier-ship, on which fighting'planes were mechanically raised to the

upper deck, with their wings foldedneatly back until they reached the"taking-off" place, when they wereun.folded and locked into position forflight in a few seconds. As a glimpseof the efficiency of the British Navythis picture was fascinating; but theaccompanying "sound-effects" couldhave been produced more convincinglyby any reasonably efficient small-hallorchestra.

In the way of "talkies" properthere were two short sketches, one amusic-hall sketch of a familiar type, inwhich the principal character, playedby the well-known comedian ErnieLotinga, was a "crook" who chloro-formed all the other characters in turnand finally, disguised as a policeman,decamped with the jewels. In this thelighting was so poor as to make thepicture difficult to watch, while the witwas forced and feeble.

Very different stamp, however, wasthe other sketc'i, entitled "Mr SmithWakes Up," featuring the brilliantlyclever British players, Moore Marriott,Barbara Gott, and Elsa Lanchester.This was a slight story of a hen-peekedshop-assistant who, after thirty yearsin one position, is brow-beaten by hiswife and daughter into demanding anincrease in salary, and is so successfulin "tackling" his employer that hedecides in future to employ the samemethods in his home, and be masterin his own house. This plot, thoughsimple, gave the actors full scope, andblended humour and pathos so skilfullyas to receive a warm welcome.

As is too seldom the,case in "talkies,"the director (Sinclair Hill, who produced"Guns of Loos") had paid as muchattention to the lighting and photo-graphy as to the sound reproduction,and the result was a definite step for-ward, suggesting that Britain is atleast equal to her rivals across theAtlantic in her pursuit of perfection inthe new form of entertainment.

SLOT MACHINES.

MAGISTRATE'S INTERESTINGJUDGMENT.

[THE PRESS Special Service.]

DUNEDIN, April 19.The question whether an automatic

njachine for the sale of photographicfilms was a shop was decjded by an in-teresting judgment of the Court thismorning. The defendants, Hugh andG. K. Neill, Were charged under theShops and Offices Act with, failing toclose their shop.

In giving his judgment, -Mr H. W-Bundle, S.M., said the contention ofthe prosecution mu£t be either that asthe defendant company was the occu-pier of a shop the machine was Par 'of the shop, or the machine was a shopper se. He was of opihion that theiirst contention was manifestly unrea-sonable, for it would mean that a perj-son who had a shop and also ownedautomatic machines would for the pur-pose of the Act be in a worse posi-tion than a person who had only one ormore automatic machines, but no shopin the usual sense of the term.

Secondly, in order to bring an auto-matic machine Within the definition ofa shop he must find that it was a build-ing or place where goods were keptexposed or offered for sale. Automaticmachines had been in use for manyyears, and if it were intended thatthey should be treated as shops, orthat special provisions should apply tothem, it would have been a simplematter to have done so in expressterms under the Shops and Offices Act.After careful consideration he was ofthe opinion that "occupier" as used inthe interpretation clause necessary im-plied physical occupation.

The information was dismissed.

KERMADEC ISLANDS.

VISITED BY NATURALISTS.

[THE PEESS Special Service.]

AUCKLAND, April 19.The Government steamer Tutanekai,

Avhich has just returned to Aucklandfrom a visit to Kermadec Island,had on board Messrs Guthrie Smithand A. T. Pycroft, two well-knownnaturalists. Mr Pycroft gave some in-teresting details of the trip this morn-ing to a reporter.

The ship went down to re-build thecastaways' depot on Macaulay Island,but the weather was too rough toallow of a landing. The depot atCurtis Island was attended to and themalthoid-covered building painted withtar. Owing to sulphurous fumes—the island being markedly volcanic—

no other sort of covering will last. Asthere is no water on the island—

Sunday being the only island wherewater is found—some has to be leftin large earthenware jars. The storesare, of course, all canned.Three landings were effected onSunday Island and the naturalistsfound much to interest them. On thespot called "The Terraces" on thenorth side of the island they foundthe- remains of the old Bell homestead.When - going along the beach at thefoot of the cliffs they saw the surface-breeding petrel, which, with the ex-ception of the giant petrel, is the onlyone to breed on the surface, ail theothers nesting in burrows or increvices in the cliffs. The KermadecIsland petrel was found in a verylarge and handsome purple convolvuluswifli fleshy leaves peculiar to the groupand Polynesia. It was found that thebuffalo grass which had been intro-duced had overgrown the seawardslopes but the indigenous bush hadmanaged to keep it at bay.

MID-CANTERBURY

ASHBURTON.

PERSONAL.

In recognition of their valuable ser-vices to agricultural education in Ash-burton during their term on the staff ofthe Ashburton High School, the M»d-

---j Canterbury Agricultural Council 01

I Education elected l>r. R. Allen, of the| Department of Scientific and IndustrialResearch, I'almerston North, and Mr J.Stewart, Principal of Marlborough Col-lege, as life members of the Council.

Agricultural Education.At a meeting of the Ashburton Agri-

cultural Educational Council held ves-terdsy Mr M. P. \Y. Blathwavt pre-sided.

The Director of Canterbury Agricul-tural College (Mr R. E. Alexander)wrote stating that so far no arrange-ments had been made lor short courses.They were awaiting a reply to theirapplication to the Minister for an in-crease in staff and funds to enable themto widen their sphere of action. Thematter had been referred to a commit-tee of the Board, and they hoped to beable to bring down a scheme to estab-lish short courses.

Mr C. Holdsworth (Christchurch)wrote agreeing to give lectures uponwool, sales, local and home treatment,sheep skins, and hides.

Mr F. G. Evans said that a lecture onskins would be very valuable, as hun-dreds of pounds could be saved by thebetter treatment or' skins. It. was de-cided to write and thank Mr Holdsworthfor his offer.

In reply to the committee's requestthat a substitute to Mr R. McGregor beappointed to the committee to repre-sent the High School, Mr W. F. Watterswroie stating that unless the hour ofmeeting was altered no representativecould be appointed. Mr McGregor stillhad full authority from the Board andhimself to represent the school on thecommittee, but the interests of the formwhich he taught at the time of themeeting would suffer if he absentedhimself. He thought it a pity that oneof the members of the EducationalCommittee, in referring to Mr Mc-Gregor's reason for resigning, should, ifhe was correctly reported in Thk Press,have used the words: "I think it is atliin argument," and thereby implyinginsincerity on the part of Mr"McGregor,who was still willing to act on thecommittee if the time of meeting couldconveniently be altered to the afternoon.Mr John Brown said the position wasas stated in the letter of Mr Watters,and if they could alter the time ofmeeting they could obtain the servicesof Mr McGregor.

It was decided that future meetingsbe held at 2.30 p.m. 011 the last Fridayin each month.

The chairman said it had been sug-gested that the name of the committeebo altered to an Educational Council.This would give the body a betterstatus. It was mentioned to liim that,the work they were doing was beyondthe scope of an ordinary committee.

Mr R. J. Thompson said that if the!committee was representative of allfarming and school interests in theA3II burton County it should have avoice in any alteration made in theeducational system. Vital questions,such as Junior High Schools should comewithin the scope of the committee. !

Tt was decided that the title be Mid- :Canterbury Council of ? Agricultural iEducation. , "

The chairman conveyed 1 the greetingsof Mr J. Stevart, Principal of Marl-borough College and formerly of Ash-burton, to the Council.

Mr It. J. Thompson said that nowI they had a Minister for Education thatwas sympathetic to agricultural educa-tion they should back him up as far aspossible. They should go thoroughlyinto the question of Junior HighSchools and see how it will affect theAshburton County. j

Mr E. A. Oakley said that a Junior !High School would tend to take thechildren from the country schools, andthey wonld require to board in town atthe time of life when parental influencewas very necessary. He thought ,it 1would only involve mor,' expenditure. 1It was considered that the Councilshould obtain views from enthusiasts ofthe Junior High Schools and opponentsto the scheme.

Mr Thompson said there was also thequestion of loeal taxation for education,which would affect farmers. He under-took to obtain opinions on the subject

of Junior High Schools and furnish &

report to the Council.Mr John Brown reported upon themovement for the establishment of

boys' and girls' agricultural clubs. Itwas now just a matter of whether theAgricultural or Education Departmentwould take charge of the movement.Both were conferring regarding the*iinance of the clubs.

On the suggestion of Mr K. J. jjo ,vf High bank) it /.vas decided to write tothe Department o? Agriculture askingthat placards be erected to indicate thenature of the experiments being con-ducted on fartns in various parts or' thecounty.

Poppy Day.A good response was met with for the:

annual Poppy Day appeal made in thestreet? of Ashburton yesterday. Underthe supervision of Mrs J. Findlay. anumber of ladies were busy throughoutthe day. The funds will be devoted tothe relief of unemployed returned sol-diers during the winter months, and togive relief to families of returned men.The sum collected in town was £9O 17s.

In the semi-final of the tug-of-warEiffelton foftst 71b) defeated Mead No.2 team (59st\ Eiffelton meet MeadNo. 1 in the final to-night.

Cars Collide.A collision between two three-seater

cars driven by S. Harris, of Ashbur-ton, and T. Willis, of Christchurch, oc-curred at the intersection of Williamand Burnett streets early last evening.Harris was thrown out, and his ear

; was slewed round and pushed acrossthe footpath, with its back 1 in a maero-carpa fence. He escaped with a shakingand a small cut on the lower lip. Theright hand wheel of his ear wasbuckled and the mudguard battered in.Willis escaped injury, but his car suf-fered minor damage.

Tire Destroys Dwelling.The first fire of any consequence in

Ashburton for a number of months oc-curred about 8 o'clock last evening,when a four-roomed dwelling in Wel-lington street, owned and occupied byMr Patrick Brosnahan, was gutted.The Brigade was promptly on the scene,but the lire, which, it appears, origin-ated in the kitchen or one of the backbedrooms, had then a good hold. Thepiano and a few personal effects weresaved. The house and furniture wereinsured, but the amounts were notavailable last night.

Hunt Club.The newly-formed Asliburton branch

of the Christchurcli Hunt Club met lastevening, when Mr A. N. Grigg presided.It was decided to ask for the loan ofthe Christehurch hounds on May 2nd.the first hunt to take place on May4th. Mr J. H. Grigg was appointeddeputy master and Mr A. J. NicoJltreasurer.

En-quiries had been made with a view to ascer-taining whether cn entirely suitable pieceof land was obtainable in the neighbourhoodfor the instructional purposes of the HighSchool, but the result was not favourable,fn the meantime it was proposed to go onwith the existing area, but at the sametime to review the whole position in con-nexion with the special experimental workin the district with a View to determiningbow best to meet all requirements.The organiser (Mr A.

tion of the Christchurcli-Uunediii main high-way in the county. The reply stated tealthe trade on the muiu road in tiie county didnot justify the construction of a better sur-tace than either a bituminous sealed road ora one-course bituminous concrete pavement.It recommended the latter type d£ road, asIt was considered that it would give thebetter results at the cheapest rate.

TIMARU AND SOUTH CANTERBURYNEWS.

TIMARU.

PERSONAL.

Mr W. B. Clarkson (Oamaru) isstaying at the Hydro Grand Hotel*

"Unfair Treatment."The Timaru Borough Council has ap-

parently decided to place a limit onstreet collection days, and has refusedpermits to the S.P.C.A., the Y.W.C.A.,and the St. John Ambulance Associa-tion, to make appeals for funds in thestreets.

At yesterday's meeting of the com-mittee of the Society for the Preven-tion of Cruelty to Animals it was de-cided to invite the co-operation of theother two bodies in a deputation ofprotest to the Council.

Jlr W. D. Kevell, the secretary, re-ported that he had written to the Coun-cil requesting permission. The matterhad been discussed, but the request hadnot been granted. Requests from theother bodies also had been passed over.Subsequently he had waited on theMayor (Mr G. J. Wallace), and thelatter had expressed himself as dissat-isfied with what the Council had done,and suggested a deputation to the in-coming Council.

If the Chinese Famine Fund appealcould show a return of £ll3, he said,surely the S.P.C.A. could raise a simi-lar amount.

Mrs R. H. Rhode* said that"the Coun-cil had treated the Society very un-fairly. In Wellington 13 street dayswere held annually, yet Timaru limit-ed them to five.

The secretary was instructed to writeto the Y.W.C.A. and St. John Ambu-lance Association asking for supportin a deputation to the Council.

Obituary.The funeral of the late Mrs Mary

Eooney took place on Tuesday morningat the Timaru Cemetery. The service at

the graveside was performed by theRev. A. J. H. Dow. The deceased wasborn in County Tyrone in* 1836 and ar-rived in Timaupin 1865 and her deathmarked the psßKng of another of NewZealand's pioneers. Her kindly disposi-tion won her the esteem of all withwhom she came in contact. She leavesa family of daughters and one son tomourn their loss. She was a staunchmember of Trinity Presbyterian Churchas far back as the ministry of the lateRev. G. Barclay.

Drivers' Licenses.The procedure taken in issuing driv-

ers' licenses in Pleasant Point has beena subject of discussion between thePleasant Point Town Board and theSouth CanterAiry Automobile Associa-tion. The Board states that all drivershave hitherto gone through a test withMr T. Forrest, garage proprietor, andsince his departure from the town thetesting has been carried out by Mr J.A. Smith, the new owner of the localgarage.

,

The secretary of the Association (MrE A. Scott) at Thursday's meeting ofthe S.C.A.A., stated that apparently ithad been very easy to obtain licensesat Pleasant Point as practically noquestions were asked.

; Mr 'W. jB. Baiter said it meant that

anyone who-had , not a license couldffo to Pleasant Point for one. He hadknown cases of licenses being refusedin Timaru, and the drivers going toPleasant Point for them.

The Association decided that the pre-sident, Dr. C. A. Paterson, and the sec-retary should make enquiries regardingthe wording of the Act, and takeaction if •necessary.

Drama League.The election of officers to the South

Canterbury Drama League resulted as

follows: Dr. W. H. Unwin;vice-presidents: Messrs. F. Barkas, W.Thomas, F. J. Eolleston, A. E. Law-rence, and Misses J. B. Barr and Sal-mon; committee': Mesgra C. Clarke, G.Chapman, Mrs W.. Shaw, and Miss C.Ashton: treasurer,' Mr L. Andrew; lib-rarian,- Miss S. McLean. Competitionsare to be held this year in Septemberin the new Scottish, Hal}, and the Pr°®"

pects "for the coming season are bright.

Pofcpy Day.Yesterday's Poppy Day appeal in Ti-

maru was accorded unusually strongsupport, and by the end of the daythere was hardly a man, woman, orchild in the streets without one of the

' crimson emblems. The South CanterburyU.S.A. was assisted by a large numberof workers who took up stands in thestreets and visited the business pre-mises.

'

In conjunction with this year'sappeal an extension in the collectionsystem was made, Fairlie, PleasantPoint, Pareora, and St. Andrews beingincluded in the drive. The stands inTimaru were located at the Hydrocorner, Arcade, Gabites' corner, and thenurses' from the hospital attended tothe southern poTtion of the town.

General News.Timaru is still suffering from a scar-

city of bananas and further supplies arenot expected to come to hand until nextweek. A consignment of Cook Islandoranges was to have arrived this week,but there has been a delay and they arenot now expected for a week or two.

The Bev. H. W. Monaghan presidedat the annual meeting of parishionersof St. Peter's Anglican Church. Theelection of the Church Council resultedas follows:—Messrs H. K. Moffitt, F.Dunn, A. Chapman, H. Holmes, jun.,McCann, p. Davey, W. Gilbert, and E.Ward.

HEAVY FINES.

SEQUEL TO AUCKLAND GAMINGRAIDS.

[THE fBESS Special Service.J

AUCKLAND, April 19.As the sequel to the raid upon a num-

ber of alleged bookmaking establish-ments in the city yesterday severalmen appeared in the Magistrate'sCourt to-dny.

Raymond Lewis, a clerk, aged 40,was the first to be dealt with. Hestepped up to the front of the Courtwith a smile, and pleaded guilty whencharged with using premises in HisMajesty's Arcade as a common gaminghouse.

I "Lewis is in the employ of ClarrieRussell, one of the three leading book-makers of this city," said Detective-Sergeant Kelly. "Russell is at presentaway on holiday. When the office wasraided it was found to be fitted upwith two telephones, while a quantityof betting material was found there.Ijewis had £55 in cash on his desk, andthe business is a big one of its kind.Lewis was fined £lO in November laston a similar charge."

The Magistrate (Mr F. K. Hunt):Fie got off light then. This time hewill be fined the maximum, £IOO, orthree months' imprisonment.

"Lewis would like time to pay, sir,"said Mr Kelly. "The trump card ison holiday."

"Certainly," replied Mr Hunt, "hecan have seven days."

Two men were charged with beingunlawfully found on Lewis's premises.One pleaded guilty. There was no ap-pearance of the other, the police stat-ing that lie was ill and could not at-tend.

"What are they?" asked the Magis-trate.

"Oh. two of the mugs who call atthe place from time to time to makebets," answered Detective-SergeantKelly.

Both men were fined £2.Francis Brewer (41), another

"clerk," also approached smiling. Headmitted using premises at 10 Vulcanlane as a common gaming house, whileAustin McCormick (33), who kept himcompany, pleaded guilty to assisting inthe management of such a house.

Detective-Sergeant Kelly saidBrewer's office was also specially fittedup for receiving bets. There was atelephone, and McCormick was takingbets over the wire when the police said"Good morning.'' The sum of £43 wasfound in the office. On Novembersth, 1927, Brewer was fined £IOO ona similar charge. "That was the maxi-mum, so I suppose this time it will bea repetition," added Mr Kelly.

"Oh, yes," said the Magistrate. "Isuppose the leopard cannot change itsspots. Ha is fined £IOO, or threemonths."

McCormick, who had not been guilt?of a breach of the Gaming Act previ-ously, was fined £lO.Known as the "busy bee," RobertFrancis Bennett (45), described on the

charge sheet as a clerk, was fined€IOO, or three months' imprisonmentBennett admitted that he used pre-mises in Swanson Chambers as a com-mon gaming house.

"The usual betting stuff we foundat Bennett's office yesterday," saidDetective-Sergeant Kelly. "Bets on theWhangarei races were being takenover the telephone when the detectivesentered, and there was £4O ll s 4d mthe office. Bennett is known as the'busy bee' and is one of the biggestbettors in Auckland. He was last be-fore the Court on February 24th1928, when he was fined £25 for loiter-ing for the purpose of betting."

AUCKLAND'S SMALLPERCENTAGE.

[THE PRESS Special Service.]

AUCKLAND, April 19.The percentage of tailored suits worn

by Auckland men is estimated at 25,and it may be smaller. Mr JusticeFrazer was given this information inthe Arbitration Court this morningwhen the Auckland Master Tailors' dis-pute was under consideration.

"What is the percentage of tailor-made clothes?" he asked.

Mr H N Preston, who appeared forthe master tailors and opposed an ap-plication by the cleaners and dyers inthe city for exemption from the provi-sion of the award, said he had notseriously considered the matter, but heshould say the percentage of tailor-made suits in Auckland ranged from25 to 80. Another estimate was giventhat of the clothing that passedthrough cleaners' hands only 12J to 13per cent, was tailor-made.

His Honour said the latter estimatemust vary according to the types otcustomers. In these hard times theman who bought a tailor-made suitwanted to make it last as long as pos-sible, and occasionally he got it cleaned

THE COURTS.SUPREME COURT.

(Before his Honour Mr Justice Herdman.)COMPROMISE AGREED TO.

An application was made by P. N. Quar-termain, liquidator of Joseph Clark and Co.,Ltd., merchants, of Christchurch, for theapproval of the Court to a compromise madewith J. R. Bruce, Ltd., of Timaru.

Under the compromise J. R. Bruce, Ltd., isto pay the liquidator ±'625 in settlement ofall claims.

J. Clark and Co., Ltd., iveat into liqui-dation in 1928.

The application, which was supported by1 Mr r. S. Wilding, was granted.

IN DIVORCE.Desertion was the ground of an action

for divorce brought by Elsie Georgina Cross(Mr F. S. Wilding) against Benjamin B.Cross.

Respondent did not appear.Petitioner stated that she was married to

respondent in Birmingham in 1911. There wereno children. Respondent, who was a silver-•raith, left for New Zealand in order tosettle here. It had been arranged that peti-tioner should remain in Birmingham for a timein order to liquidate respondent's business.This occupied a matter of twelve months. Re-spondent, however, did not appear to be ina hurry to send for her. He wrote letters tohar from time to time up to 1914, when thecorrespondence ceased. In 1920 petitioner de-cided to come New Zealand in order toAnd trace of her husband. On arrival inNew Zealand enquiries made by petitionerelicited the fact that respondent was thenin Australia. Respondent had written thathe did not desire to live with her again.

His Honour raised the question of domicile,stating that it was rather vague whether thedesertion had actually occurred in New Zea-land or Australia, as there was no directevidence respecting the date when respondentchanged his domicile between the two coun-tries. However, hesaccepted petitioner's as-surance that the only letters received byher from respondent up to 1914 v/cre fromNew Zealand. Since that year the had notany knowledge of respondent's whereaboutsuntil she came out to New Zealand in 1920.A decree nisi was granted, the decree tobe made absolute in three months.

SWIMMING NOTES.(By "Brsaststroke.")

The decision of the Canterbury Swim-ming Centre to run another carnival iscertainly welcomed by swimmers ofclubs. Usually swimming activitiescease long before this date, and reallythis practice is altogether unnecessary,as the weather is still quite good forswimming and even if the night of a

carnival happens to be somewhat bois-terous it is always quite warm andbright in the Tepid Baths. If thecarnival ,is to be a success, and thereseems to be little doubt that it willbe, it is necessary to have plenty otcompetitors, therefore it is hoped thaton next Wednesday night every swim-mer in Christchurch be on themark to help make this final big effortof the Centre an assured and outstand-ing success.

Should this event turn out well itlooks as if the Centre's finances will bein a very much better position thanthey have been for some years, andthis, of course, will directly benefit allswimmers next season.

Christchurch swimmers are verylucky in the possession of their veryfine Tepid Bath, which gives themevery facility to continue tneir train-ing throughout the winter months. MrH. Breward, the custodian, who is al-ways in attendance, has on very manyoccasions orojed himself a friend toswimmers, and his advice, which is ofthe best, can ever be relied upon. Pro-mising swimmers would do well to keepup their training and take every ad-vantage of the bath during the winter,for it is proposed to make an earlystart next season with the champion-ship team.

Owing to their popularity at the lastcarnival, the pis-net race and pillow-fighting are to oe included again innext Wednesday's programme. In thepillow fight, softer pillows will beand competitors are allowed to holdthe boom. New events include novel-ties such as tub-tilting, ladies'PPs," s,ball racing, ping-nong ball scramble, jladies' lighted candle race, etc.

Competitors are reminded «"*■

GIRL GUIDES' NEWHOME.

IMPERIAL HEADQUARTERS.

(FROM OVB OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

LONDON, March 1.The Girl Guide is eighteen years old

this year. Her "coming out," whichsynchronises with the "coming-of-age"of the Boy Scout, is to be marked bythe beginning of an ambitious butvery necessary enterprise.

This is the building of the Guides'own Imperial Headquarters on a verysuitable site which has been secured inBuckingham Palace road. The mem-bership of the Guides, in the Empirealone, now numbers more than half amillion, and it is felt that such anorganisation should possess an adequatehome wherein to direct its activitiesand to observe towards foreign GuidestliQ duties of hospitality.

At present the headquarters staff isdistributed among four buildings, andto some extent is dependent for house-room upon the Scouts.

In the hope that the whole cost oftheir new home—a sum of £.74,500—

will be raised by the Guides them-selves, the "building materials" areoffered for sale to individual Guides,companies, packs, and districts. A rollof the names of all the purchaserswill be kept at headquarters, but com-panies and packs who buy bricks willreceive a certificate designed by theChief Scout himself for display in theirown club room.

Following is the "price-list":—Bricks, 2s 6d each; staircase steps,

£2 10s eaeh: windows and doors, from£5 to £SO; corner-stones, £10;pliilasters, £100; rooms, from £SOO

i to £1000; Council Chamber, £2OOO.About 800,000 bricks will be required,

in addition to 200 corner-stones, 150windows, 115 doors, 166 staircase steps,and 212,000 wooden floor blocks. «

The present address of the Girlj Guides' Association is 25 BuckinghamPalace road, London, S.W.I.

The supporting picture stars Milton Silisin "The Crash." Thelma Todd is his lead-in- lady, and the story told is rather moreoriginal than the usual film story. TheCrash" offers many a thrill, with a sensa-

HOOT GIBSON PICTURE.

GRAND THEATRE, MONDAY.

It is now some little time since Hoot Gib-

son has been seen on the local screen, and atthe advent of his latest picture, "The King

of the Rodeo," at the Grand Theatre nextweek his admirers will have cause to re-joice greatly. For "The King of the Rodeois a typical roystering Gibson outdoorthriller, and is also one of the famous "Chipof the Flying U" series of tales. Kathryn

Crawford is the star's leading lady, and sheis sufficiently energetic to be an excellentfoil to Gibson, who indulges in all his daringpranks once more. The story is slender,and is not surfeited with a plethora ofvillains. . ,__

SEASON EXTENDED.

CRYSTAL PALACE THEATRE."The Spy," the sensational secret service

drama that has been at Crystal Palace

Theatre this week, will be presented a sec-ond week. This picture is a version of theage-old and always popular mystery drama,but of a quite different calibre . from "TheBat" and Edgar Wallace tales. This is

international diplomacy, reeking with .treach-ery and intrigue, in which one, Max rlagui,

controls a vast organisation sworn to anarchy,murder, and evil deeds. Fighting thispowerful and clever force are the organisedpolice, and when these two forces come mcontact, as they frequently do in the story,always there is thrilling drama as a result.Associated with the fascinating story areunusual photographic effects and really cleveracting. "The Spy" is a dramatic picturethat will arrest the attention quicker thanmere spectacle, or more melodrama, or mereromance. There is a little of everything inits composition, even the romance. Thosewho have yet to see "The Spy' will bethrilled exceedingly at its quick play ofwits; it is the perfect detective story. MrAlec Regan will again please audiences withhis delightful singing. He will be heard ma complete chango of programme. His"Laugh, Clown, Laugh," is said to be ex-ceedingly fine. Mr Alfred Bunz has ar-ranged a special musical programme for theSymphony Orchestra.

"THE PATSY."

LAST PERFORMANCE TO-NIGHT.

This evening, for the last time, will be

presented at the Theatre Royal one of the

most delightful comedies that has been

witnessed by Christchurch theatregoers for a

long time. , .

••The Patsv" is an American comedy byR»r.v Conner's and has been an outstanding

fucce yS s three countries. A pleasing

tnrn is that it is not necessary, as in somany modern productions, for the audience™

be acquainted with American expressions,

there being nothing in this respect to cause

confusion "The Patsy" is .the name given

in the States to those girls in a family who

are treated like Cinderella of the well-knownfairy story. The subject is an old one, butit hLs been treated in a way es to makeit absorbingly interesting and charming.

Patricia Harrington is the neglected daughterof a middle-class American family, c°°s'st-ing of father, mother, and two girls- Theelder daughter is the spoiled one of the fam-ilv Nothing is considered too good forher by her doting mother, and, on the otherhand nothing is too bad for the younger.However there are many amusing situationswhen Patricia falls in love with one ot hersifter's admirers, and endeavours to attractattention to herself. She succeeds in hernaive, charming way, and the play is broughtto a happy conclusion.

In the leading role, Irene Homer is

snlendid. This young American actress hasa delightful "way of bringing out her wordsand phrases, and is most engaging.

"WINGS."

RECEPTIVE AUDIENCE APPRE-CIATES SPLENDID PICTURE.

Patrons of the Municipal Theatre who

have already spent a night "in the air," are

voluble in their appreciation of this descrip-

tive vivid, and thrilling picture story thathas'been responsible for attracting such huge

audiences in every part of the world.Credit should go to the management for the

vast improvement made to the general effect ofthe production by the introduction of therealistic sound effects, which add a distinctthrill to the story. The drastic tests towhich every young flying cadet is subjected,calling for the most dare-devil courage, quickthinking, and swift action, are interestinglydeWhen'the scene moves to the war zone inFrance, the supremely hazardous duties ofthose winged warriors, the lives of whomseldom averaged more than a few weeks, ™akesa most exciting and vivid story of death-dealing tactics adopted in bombing expedi-tions, which for its principal exponents hadclaimed the cream of the world's youth. Theescapades of a few days' leave m the gaycity of Paris add a touch of humour to thestory; the inevitable happens, and our heroproves sufficiently human to fall in love."Wings" is a Paramount production that-has proved an enormous attraction in everycentre in which it has been screened, theindescribable daring, together with its won-derfully human appeal, having been respon-sible for its tremendous success.

FIFTY YEARS AGO.

* THE GOOD OLD DAYS."

EMINENT ACTOR'S APPEAL.(FROM OUK own COBBESPOITDINT.)

LONDON, February 20.A striking appeal for a return to the

customs of "the good old days thatare no more" was made by Sir Geralddu Maurier, the famous actor, at aluncheon given to him by the CityLivery Club at the Carpenters' Hall.

"I am tired of shingled hair, thesports girl, the telephone, modern danc-ing, and jazz music," he said."I think if you have a child of 21

and that child could remain 21 for 50

years, and was given the choice to go

forward 50 years or backward 50 years,my advice to him would be to go back

though I would cut out the war yearst,

of course."I would like to go back to the tiifie

when your daughter did not beat youSht up and seven at golf and give

you 30 love and a severe beating at

tennisThe "Clip-Clap" of Hansoms.

"I wouia like to go back to thetimejjonW there was silence m the

wh en ther x would nke

£°SrS& to the time when you did

not hear 'bang, bang,' 'hoot, hoot,' butthe clip-clap of hansom cabs in thestreets."I would like to go back to a Bond

street down which you were not allowedto walk without a top hat and frockcoat, and to the time when you sat athome to dinner with the family roundthe fire instead of going out to a restau-rant and dancing with a man—girl—-boy—well, you never know what theyare these days, do you. (Laughter.)"I should like to return to the days

when you did not always have to danceto time played on coal-scuttles andtongs. I should like to see lovelywaltzes and the polka danced again,but not-all this jazz."I propose that we should form a

syndicate somehow to find some inventorwho would make it possible for us togo slowly backwards through all thelovely ages and not forward to the thingsthat are going to be."

Sir Gerald went on to describe howhe started life as an office boy in thecity with a salary of 8d a day, whichwas exactly eight times more than hewas earning at the moment, for he wasnow out of a job. (Laughter.)

One day at his home there was asound of horses neighing in the garden.Somebody said that he did not knowthat Du Maurier kept horses.

"Wt> did not," said Sir Gerald. "Itwas me neighing. Then somebody said:'That bov ought to go on the stage.'So I went on the stage."

His First Job.

Describing his search for his first job,Sir Gerald said that he took threeletters round to different firms in the

city. The first he called upon *

firm of ship-brokers."The commissionaire took my letter

in, and the secretary came out to »•

and said, 'There's nothing doing here."At the second firm I waited for an

hour, but received no answer."At the third the eommifionaire

looked at me—l thought Irather a swell myself, with a b«ttorfwteand all the rest of it—and asked, Whatdo you want hereT' I told him I waslooking for a job, and he said,we want an office-boy. Come iu here.I sat down with two otherand was paid 8d a day for a ry�Ima ft

The Stage as a Profewloo."Lots of people,''eontinued ar

Gerald, "mistake our job a little. 1lunching next to a distinguished womanthe other day. She told me dttough

she was quite well off, wasgoing to earn her own 1

The *s"ar.a<;» of Captain, Major,Co lout!, or S; r Victor Barker v:ill re-

| call a similar escapade in Otago ft

J number of years ago, when a certainwoman masquerading as a mail "mar-ried ' a young lady of the CatlinsDistrict. The fact, that "ColonelBarker" iiart means of her oivu hasmade it possible for her tu sustain thedeception much longer. However, themasquerade eiided abruptly in Briston

nsK,,! 'a-,t v.*cc!r where she was takentor contempt of court for failing toattend her public examination in bank-ruptcy. At Brixton she had to confessthat she was not a man, and then shev. as hurriedly transferred to thewomen Vj prison at Holloway.1 hid is what an Andover correspond-ent writes: "Andover to-day is gasping.It can hardly believe that CaptainBarker was a woman. She hunted withthe Tidworth Hounds—an a man. Sheplayed for the Andover Town cricketteam in half-a-dozen matches. She sangin the choir at the old parish church.She went to dances in evening dresswith the D.S.O. ribb#4* on her breast,arid ishe carried it all off with suchsuperb confidence that it was all ac-cepted without' question. It was inMay, 1924, that Captain Barker arrivedin Andover to take over an autiquefurniture shop he had bought iu Eaststreet. With him came his 'wife'—aslim slip of a woman—a little boycalled Tim or Tony, and a governess,Miss Mosh. His trunks were labelled'Captain Sir Victor Barker, GrandHotel, Brighton,' and the friends hemade so rapidly hero always gatheredthat he had come from Brighton. Ofhis life in Brighton nothing seems tobo known, but it is eertain that whenAndover first saw him his masqueradeas a man was already perfect. He soonbecame a public figure. All Andoverknew Captain Barker, D.S.O.,—that tallfigure who on sunny days strode alongthe ancient streets in khaki shorts, abelt, and a silk shirt open at the neck,or played tennis with his 'wife' inimmaculate flannels, or called in at theStar and Garter dressed in plus foursto have a whisky and soda."

Volet Deceived.For a year Mr B. Wrigley acted as

valet to "Captain Barker" m London,and he has given a newspaper corres-pondent lurther details ot this extra-ordinary case.

Hia story shows what great atteu-tiiin to detail "Captain barker pawin his masquerade as a man. ' AlthoughT was valet for twelve months, 1 naanot the slightest idea that 'lie' was »

woman," Mr Wrigley aaid. I knew himas Major Barker, and L hisservice in November, 1927. He wasthen occupying a first-floor flat mHertford street and living with himwus a woman whom he always referredto as his wife. There was also a boyot ei^ht—Tim was his name—who waslit a boarding school in Kingston. Timused to come to the flat during theschool holidays, but he did not sleepthore, unless 'Mrs Barker' was away.The Major carried out his masqueradeperfectly, so far as home life was con-cerned. Each morning lie would tellme to have his razors stropped, and Ihud to take a sharing mug into thebathroom. Always lie left a soap-filledsharing brush and the razors lyingabout as though they had just beenused. He had a very extensive ward-robe. j<nd several «.eta of uniform,which he used to wear at differenttimes. Sometimes! he would tell mehe vrns dining nt the mess, and wouldg> out in the nie<s blue uniform of amajor in the Lancers."

The season has beena poor one for beekeepers, owing to thewet and foggy summer and to the ratabloom not having been so good asusual. Most of the honey is birchhoney drawn from all parts of theCoast. At the second grading last year042 cases were handled, but it is doubt-ful whether mucb more will be forth-coming this season.

More conservatively, but no Isss conclus-ively, English Cars and Trucks are estab-lishing throughout the world proof ofthis same fact.

Owners of British Ve-hicles in New Zealandhave found from theirown experience thatthey have purchasedwisely and well.

Whether they are oper-ating a car or a truck,they are enjoying in thesweet consistent runningand economical operationof their machines, thefull pleasure of owner-ship of superior engin-eered products.

The result has been aremarkable outpouringof good-will towardsEnglish products re-

flected in greatly increasing sales records.

English engineering IS superior—and ademonstration will prove it:

WIRELESS NEWS

(BY LISTEXEB.)

i The -hum control" device now being

| fitted to loud speakers operated from

j electric sets has met with much favour

in America, where it is m great e

' 1 Tl.is and a voltage regulatoi: Xch' an even eurren, de.pUcline fluctuations, are aceessonei3e'eotric set which havo not yet redcbeathe local market, as far as, uiThev tend to make the electric pe

feet in its operation.

Jvew plant has bei-u ordered for 4\A.so that the Dunedin station will soonhe oa a par as regards equipment, with;;YA and IYA. -Horn the beginning otnext month 4YA will be on the anevery evening except Xaursday.

Expecting to get quality by attach-

ing a dynamic speaker to an obsolete,

under-powered or carelessly constructedreceiver is like expecting an artist to

produce the tonal qualities ot a btradi\ arius on a . heap violin. The elcctro-dvnamic speaker is designed for quail Jthroughout an increased frequencyrange. That's why it is capable ot get-ting the low notes as well as the lng )notes. Increased volume is secondaryand comes from the ability of thedynamic to handle without distortion a

volume up to the limit of the powervalve or valves to produce. All attemptsto operate a dynamic with insufficientpower cannot help but limit the per-formance of the speaker. Power tubesof ample capacity in connexion with a

good audio system are necessary pie-requisites for the best operation of anelectro-dynamic loud speaker.

Overseas papers mention that Japan

will shortly put into operation the

largest radio transmitter in the world.As the result of co-operation betweenthe Government and private interests astation has been equipped at Yasomiand will fiave a power of 100 kilowatts.Lt will be used for direct communica-tion with Europe, but whether forpurely commercial messages or forbroadcasting purposes is not yet plain.The plant is part German and par!Japanese manufacture. If this Yasomi"station is to operate on the usualbroadcast band I here will certainly bei-'omc interference with Australian re-ception. Already some of the Japanesestations heterodyne the Australian oues.but if a Jap. 100 times as powerfulcomes on the air, well, one can imaginetbo result.

Although no important progress in theart of broadcasting moving pictureshas been made for the last three orfour years the development of still pic-ture transmission systems is proceeding

jat an astonishing rate. Australia willhavo its first picture transmission ser-vice installed between Melbourne andSydney.in a few weeks. This servicewill work over wires, not by wire-less, but the principle is the same asthat adopted in wireless transmission.Photographs arc now regularly ex-changed across the Atlantic, while stillpictures are being broadcast to listen-ers by one of the stations of the BritishBroadcasting Corporation. The latesttriumph for still picture transmissionhas been provided by the installationof receiving equipment on the Atlanticliner Olympic. In consequence of thisinstallation it is now possible to illus-trate the wireless newspaper published*daily on the liner with photographsillustrating the news items both fromKurope and from America. LeadingBritish engineers predict that the pre-sent system of wireless telegraph sig-nalling by means of the dots and dashesof the Morse code will be supersededsoon by facsimile transmissions, a de- jvclopment of picture transmission bymeans of which the actual messagehanded in for transmission is photo-graphed and sent as a photograph sothat the reproduction at the receiveris handed direct to the addressee. Itis claimed that, in addition to makingpossible faster transmission, the fac-simile system will eliminate most of theerrors which occur in the course of highspeed Morse transmission.

An extraordinary story of an allegedfugitive from justice Vicing tracked l>ywireless and running aniuk among tin:first-class passengers of a big Atlanticliner on tin? high seas reached Liver-pool recently, says an exchange.

The ship was proceeding from IS'cwYork to Boston when the wireless Dies-sage was received. The wanted man,who appeared to realise what was im-pending, rushed off to his cabin. Therehe was found stripped to the waistand armed with an open razor. Hedashed past two men who tried to wrestthe razor from him and escaped od tothe saloon deck, where terrified pas-sengers scattered in all directions.

Driven back to his cabin, the manlocked himself in. As the ship was ap-proaching Boston it was decided toleave the man to himself and to main-tain a close guard on his door. Policeofficers came on board at Boston, andwhen they heard of the man's danger-ous demeanour thev resolved on an in-genious expedient. They pumped tear-gas through the keyhole into the cabinuntil the prison* showed signs of yield-ing. They then burst open the 'door.The man, with the strength of a giant,hurled himself at the intruders, andwith the razor slashed open the tunicof one of the ofliccrs. who was luckv toescape personal injuries. The man wassoon overpowered and removed into cus-todv.

Only those who recall the many un-; successful experiments in wireless con-

| trol which were made when broadenst-] mg was first introduced will be able

| fully to appreciate the value of an iri-j foresting legal enactment just made inSiam. By this law the use of eitherbroadcasting transmitting or broadcast| receiving equipment is strictly pro-j hibited. Although at first sight ratherj drastic, the provision has much to coin-

j mend it, as the Government of Siam is: engaged in extensive experiments to de-

i tcncine the best method of providingI a service. The prohibition will prevent

| the great waste which might otherwise| result from the general sale of unsuit-! able equipment. In Australia apparatusI worth many thousands of pounds waswasted by the passage of ill-consideredlegislation relating to broadcasting.It was stipulated in the firstplace that sets with sealedtuners should be used for broad-oast reception to prevent eavesdropping011 programmes from stations to whichno license fees had been paid. Thissvstem • soon down, but the sta-tions continued to use long wave-lengths totally unsuited for broadcast-ing. When the wave-lengths were re-duced thousands of the tuners had tobe reconstructed. It is iuteresting tonote that Prince Purachatra, of Siam,who visited Australia about two yearsago, made an intensive study of broad-casting. Since his return he has sentmany reports to 3LO of its weeklyshort-wave transmissions, to which heis a regular listener.

OPINIONSMR. F. D. KESTEVEN, Chan-

cery Lane, Christcburch,writes:

"I am more than pleasedwith my Studebaker Comman-der. I have had at differenttimes eleven cars three ofwhich have been Studebakers.

"When I decided to buy anew car during the last show, Ihad no idea which car I wouldbuy, but after seeing the Com-mander I finally decided onanother Studebaker and I ammore than satisfied with mychoice. The car has given meperfect satisfaction using littleoil and no water. The enginehas so much power that the carflies up hills and the accelera-tion is the fastest I have everknown. The control is so easytbatachildcouldhandle the car."I have taken the car over

very rough roads, but evenwhen driving very fast, I didnot feel any bumps at all, ow-ing, I suppose, to the wonderfulspringing and the hydraulicshock absorbers."

MR. R. L. WIGLEY, ManagingDirector, The Mount CookMotor Co., Timaru, writes:

"The order we have justplaced represents the thirtiethStudebakercarboughtfrom you.

"We have been using Stude-baker cars since 1911 and atthe present time we have 20 inuse. One at Queenstown has amileage of 121,000 to its credit,another at Pairlie has justreached the 76,000 mark. Boththese cars run perfectly andmechanically ->eem almost asgood as new. The car that wepurchased in December, 1927,has already run over 42,000.

"As you know some of thetourist routes covered by usare the hard st in New Zea-land, embracing the M.;KenziePlains, Lindis Pass, KawarauGorge, the Crown Range (4,400ft.) and the famous SkippersRun, Queenstown. We run adaily service between Timaruand the "Hermitage." We alsorun a tri-weekly service be-tween the "Hermitage" andQueenstown besides other ser-vices at Queenstown, Queens-town-Cromwell, etc.

"Our cars run over roads ofevery description, under allweather conditions, but thefact that we have kept Stude-baker cars for such a long timespeaks for itself. We cannotspeak too highly of Studebakerreliability, and we are verywell satisfied with the Stude-baker for power, speed andendurance.''MR. C. R. DODGE, of Dodge

Bios., Builders, Christ-church, writes:

' Once again I write to youabout my Studebaker car, as Iam so satisfied with my latest—-the Director Sedan. I havetoured all round the SouthIsland and can honestly saythat the Director would wantsome beating for riding eomfort. I have made some excel-lent times in the run to Dunedin, attaining and maintaininga speed of 55 miles an hourwithout the slightest effort andmy petrol consumption wasabout 18 or 19 miles to the gal-lon, which I consider excellent.

BAND ROTUNDA.

MR T. J. EDMONDS'S GIFT.

description of building.

Plans of the new band rotunda pre-s-r!.t«'d. toother with a shelter, to the

of Christchurch by Mr T. J.j-.d'iiur-is have been prepared by theC.'nv Engineer (Mr A.'R. G.ilbraithi.w ! :.' ribed them to a representative, ; Thl Pkess yesterday.

lit. rotunda, which Mr GaJbraitii*. on.-idt'i'-- v ill be the largest of its kindi.t the Dominion, will be a handsome.-.truuure b lilt i-f concrete with a dome~f timber vr-tree! with copper. It willb- ;M) fe<.t in diameter and will attaina of 40 fret to the top of thedi»inc. The rotunda will be octagonalin s-hapo and will be purely architec-tural in :• . the design being Doric.[he dome Will be 1 supported hy eightcolumns, one at each angle of the octa-gon. The decking will be of reinforcedconcrete* and. beneath it will be a spacemn feet six inches high for the storageof chairs, furniture, and other equip-ment.

ihe rotunda will be erected in thecentre ot a grass plot on the Cambridgeterrace bank or the Avon close to thepremises of the South Island Motors,Ltd., and will be approached by twollights of steps on the west side. Aterrace is to be formed round the struc-ture, leaving a promenade 14 feet wide,also octagonal in shape. The terraceis to have an edging of concrete kerbswith stepped approaches and piers ofconcrete with a lamp standard at anangle.

(Mi the east side of the rotunda therewill be a shelter, 40 feet 8 inches by 16feet, with accommodation for 50 or GOleople. It will also be constructed inconcrete and, like the principal build-ing, will be artistically lighted. Onthe we.-t side there will be a lampstandard on raised "ground with seatsaround it, and paths will be provided,which will considerably enhance thegeneral effect.

The Engineer has been restricted inhis plans owing to the limited amountof space available for the purpose be-tween the Colombo street and Manches-ter street bridges, but despite the diffi-culties he has had to face, lias onpaper produced a pleasing piece ofwork of whicli the City will nave justcause to be [iriud.

Hopes are entertained of being ableto induce owners of property facingthe rotunda site on the river bankto give five feet of their frontages tothe City Council in order that the road-way mav be set back that distance andan equal amount of space on the riverside added to the reserve. It is con-sidered that the property owners con-cerned would receive ample compensa-tion for this in that their propertieswould be greatly enhanced by the riverbank improvements. So that one ortwo unsightly buildings facing the ter-race may not interfere with the effectof the scheme it is proposed to plant arow of trees between them and the re-serve. It is pleasing to note that thescheme will not require the removal ofany trees at present growing beside theriver bank.

Although there are at present notsufficient funds in Bail# for the purposetenders are also being called for theerection of a concrete balustrade wallon the Cambridge- terrace side of theAvon. The plans provide for a wall torun parallel with the Oxford terraceside of the river. This will mean thenarrowing of the stream and in partsw

|; twelve feet to the reservewhen the intervening spaco is filled in.lhere will be two flights of landingsteps in front of the wall immediatelyopposite the rotunda. It is the opin-ion of the City Engineer that thecarrying out of this work would givethe finishing touch to the scheme.

ST. SAVIOUR'S SCHOOL.

OFFERED TO EDUCATION BOARD

The Canterbury Education Board yes-terday received a deputation consistingof Dean Julius, the Kev. H. W. Smith,and Mr A. G. H. Gibbs, from the Coun-cil of .St. Saviour's Orphanages, ask-ing the Board to take over the Girls'School at Shirley, containing some 80children.

The Dean said they wished to knowon what conditions the Board wouldtake over the School. . It was becauseof no dissatisfaction in the way theschool was being conducted that theCouncil was taking this step. The wholething had arisen owing to financialstringency. They would pass over theland about 2 acres and the buildingsand tennis court. Their main troublewas finance. They had already writtento the Department in Wellington, andhad been told <-o get >u touch with theCanterbury Board. So far the Statehad made no grant towards carrying ontl»c school. Li answer to a question theDean replied that the school would bermt-free.

Mr W. 11. Wiusor, chairman of theBoara, in reply, that the Boardwould carefuilv consider the difficulty,remembering that the school did notwish to lose its entity.

It was decided bv the Board to offerthe St. Saviour's Courtil a side schoolsubiect to tin bui;d:i-gs being reportedsatisfactory Tbi.- would mean thatthe children up to Standard 11. wouldstay at Shirley and the older girlswould go to either Shirley or Richmondpublic school-

Yesterdav before tlie Coroner, Mr H.\ \oun" was held the inquest intothe death'of William Gibson, who onThursday afternoon was found hangingin a motor died at the rear of bis

home. Sprrey street, LmwoodEdith Gibson, wile of the deceased,

Gow, T. Hughes, W. G. Spencer, W.Johnson, 11. J. Bignell. and G. W .

Armitagp.The Building Committee reported

that the Minister telegraphed approvalof a grant representing two-thirds ofthe estimated cost of providing a build-ing for use as a dental clinic at South-bridge.

A telegram was recened from theMinister advising that Cabinet hadagreed to proceed with additions at theLimvood avenue School.

A letter was received from the De-partment intimating that the Ministerhad directed that the Board's applica-tion for a grant for the acquisition oftwo blocks of land for extension of theWoolston School site be declined unlessa substantial local contribution wasforthcoming. In making this decisionthe Department stated that the Minis-ter had .been guided by the fact thatthe present school site consisted of ap-proximately 3J acres, that there is apark adjoining the school, and that thetaking of land under the Public WorksAct is likely to be very costly.

Appointments.The following appointments were re-

ported by the Manual and TechnicalCommittee:—Mrs Laurenson, dress-making instructress at the Temuka Dis-trict High School;'Miss Ivy Kilgour asdressmaking instructress at PleasantPoint District High School. It was re-ported that advice had been receivedfrom the Education Department approv-ing the appointment of Miss Mavis Lar-combe as junior domestic science as-sistant at the Normal Centre.

Training College Completion.The Normal School Committee re-

ported that Mr H. Holland, M.P., sub-mitted a copy of a letter from the Minis-ter in which it was indicated that therewas little likelihood of an early grantfor the completion of the Training Col-lege. It was resolved to ask the Minis-ter to give early consideration to thequestion of completion of the College(where the conditions were most un-satisfactory"), and to the remodelling ofthe Normal School, which the Board wasglad to note was receiving more sympa-thetic consideration. Mr Winsor agreedto interview the Minister on a forth-coming visit to Wellington.

A petition was received protestingagainst the removal of Mr N. Manson,headmaster of Woodstock. A letter wasalso received from the committee stat-ing that it was still of the opinion thata change was desirable in the interestof the school. The Board resolved thatit could not see any reason to alter itsprevious decision that Mr Manson's ser-vices should terminate at the termholidays.

TASMANIAN FLOODS.

MINISTER'S ESTIMATE OFDAMAGE.

[THE FBESS Special Service.]

AUCKLAND, April 19."As far as I am able to judge, the

damage done by the disastrous floodsin Tasmania is about £1,000,000,"said Sir Walter H. Lee, TasmaniaivMinister for Public Works, .before leav-ing 'by the Ulimaroa to-day on hishurried return journey. The Ministeris anxious to assist in arranging forreconstruction works which will becarried out by the Public Works De-partment.

''No such disaster has ever beenknown in Tasmania," said Sir Walter."The news which has come by mailabsolutely amazes me. For instance,I find it hard to realise that the elec-tric power house above CataractGorge. Launceston, has been wrecked;also tnat the solid stone bridge whichwas built in the early days over theEsk river at Perth has been literallywashed away. I am informed thathardly any bridges remain in northernTasmania.

"Worst of all," added the Minister,"is the news that 30 deaths have beencaused by the .floods. . The citizens ofLaunceston have had a particularlytrying experience through the over-flowing of the Tamar, and large num-bers are homeless. The Governmentand citizens are doing all that is pos-sible in giving relief."

NAVY LEAGUE.ITS OBJECTS OUTLINED.

« GUARDING THE INTERESTS OFEMPIRE."

"Some people seem to think thatwe are a very bellicose and war-seek-ing institution, indeed," said the Rev.E. E. Maiden, in the course of a shortaddress before the Canterbury brancfcof the Navy League. "We are, how-ever, a very different body from whatsome people—the newspapers included—seem to think. We are in the posi-tion, to some extent, of the ordinaryinsurance company; we do our littlebit to insure that England keeps itspolicy up to date, to see that she doesnot fall behind in her programme ofship-building, and also to see that thepublic are kept informed as to thearmaments position. Surely, Ido notexpect to die when I take out a lifeinsurance policy; the Navy League isin an exactly analogous position.

"Germany, at the present time, hascompleted the building of the secondmost powerful battleship in the world.By a technical quibble she has beenenabled to build a 12,000 ton war-ship instead of the legitimate 10,000ton vessel, and this ship will out-steamand out-range every battleship in theworld bar H.M.S. Hood.* Theostensible reason for- the building ofthis vessel, said the Rev. Mr Maiden,was to overawe Poland—Poland, orcourse, being, as everyone knew, one ofthe world's greatest Naval Powers 1 Tohis knowledge, Poland possessed two de-crepit destroyers and one or two mine-sweepers. While Germany was aimingat building three more such vessels,Britain was ever reducing her build-ing programme. A huge tonnage ofwar shipping had been scrapped since1918, while England's building pro-gramme, growing smaller vear by year,was already behind schedule.

The chairman of the meeting, Mr J.J. DougaH, said that 492,0C0 tons ofshipping had been scrapped since thewar, and only 100,000 tons re-built.England had tried hard indeed to showthe world that she desired peace. Shemust have a navy, however, becauseof the great expanses of water separ-ating the Dominions of the Empire.America was demanding naval parity,and by the terms of the WashingtonTreaty she could attain this, and more."If America carries out her expressedintention, she must inevitably becomethe greatest Naval Power in the world."\\ hue everyone was anxious that in-ternational peace should be main-tained, there was every reason why

s!jc h institutions as the Navy Leagueshould remind England of her obliga-tions. and keep her in the front rankposition of the world Powers jthat she now holds. In ]this way. the League was ]doing its bit in guarding the interests j°h m P're- ''Human nature, after |all, doesi not change," concluded Mr iDougall, "and it must be remembered jthat it is the hnman factor that we jmust guard against." j

GENERAL MERCHANDISE.

GROCERIES.

Butine»s la the wholesale trade is de-scribed as "patchy." Some days are quite !brink, others dull. Taken on the whole busi-ness is much bettor than St this period lastyear, and the demand for general grocerylinos is ,-tendy and increasing.

Collections for April so tar are reported asquite satisfactory. The March 31st bankbiUancu period was Iho cause oi quite a fairnumber ot accounts heme unpaid at theend ot March, but these were liquidated inthe llrst week in April.

Home retail shops that sell (or casli havefound this week that returns are downslightly, due, no doubt, to the public usingthe money for drapery at the sales. Thiayo»itiou will kouu right itself.

Tea growers in Ceylon who have for yearsenjoyed great prosperity, are again in for-tune's way, due to tho decision of thebritish Uovernment to place tea on thedutyfree list when imported into GreatItritain. Tea imported into England foryears past has been subjected to a fairlyheavy duty. The removal of all dutycharges will stimulate sales, and im-porters in New Zealand foresee tea rising tohigher levels in consequence. As soon asthe new tariff has been confirmed in theBritish Parliament, it will be interesting tose« its effect on prices at the first Colombotea sale thereafter. The tea sale scheduledat Colombo for April 10th took place onthat date, and bidding was very spirited.The quantity was rather large, due to thecutting out of the previous sale. A totaloffering of S.KOO,OOOIb was put up underthe hammer. As anticipated, the quality waslower than last month, and this would havelet the values down if keen competition hadnot helped to keep the market on a levelwith previous sale values.

All grade* were steady and maintainedtheir values despite lower quality.

The newspapers recently made mention ofvery severe frosts in the Cutifornian fruitgrowing area. This very cold weather is

reported to have seriously damaged the fruitCrops, but it is hard to judge tho extentof the actual damage. United States pro-ducers, speaking generally, always over-stateclimatic setbacks solely with a view of as-sisting to advance prices for their pro-duct.

A4vl4«* from San Francisco this weekstats that advances have taken place inrtUlns, prunes, and canned fruit markets.This is no doubt quite true, but it is quitepossible that a S per cent, damage meansa 10 or IS per cent, advance in exportprices. Borne years ago a gale in theCuba sugsr-growing area was magnified bycabled reports in the United States papers,and wa« followed up by advances in sugarprices, so that tho position became a scandalwhen it was discovered later that the dam-age was very small and the crop yield notdiminished to any extent. But meanwhilemany buyers had signed up huge contracts atexorbitant prices.

One of the New Zealand makers of bagshas put on the market a new flat bottom801b hag, for tine by fruiterers and othersfor such lines as beans, peas, and potatoes.This bag will be welcomed by fruiterers andgrocers alike.

Itesin is again quoted this week forearly shipment from New York on the basisof "G" £.17 7s Cd, "N" £lB 10s grossfor net, freight paid Lyttelton, exchangeextra. * j

Tho steamer Sussex, -which has been load-ing In Singapore for New Zealand ports,has, apparently, left that port for NewZealand. A cable just received quoting sev-eral lines states that the next dispatch for Iorders will be July. From this it is certainthat the Sussex has departed, and ordersjust cabled eannot be shipped before July.

One and a half pound cube pineapple isagain at a low level in Singapore, but as itcannot be dispatched before July the in-formation is not of mueh value to localbuyers la the meantime. Before July cargocan land fend August) the stocks now afloatwill b» cleaned up, and as these will landat a different cost, lower values cannot beexpected until late in August.

Vresh supplies of sugar landed in Lyt-telton yesterday and deliveries will bem»d« on Monday for the City, and Tues-day for the country.

Bago values in Singapore have easedslightly, but tapioca holds its prices asbefore. Tapioca (Pearl) is commanding Isfld per <*wt over the value of sago—a ratherhigher differential than usual.

POULTRY AND EGGS.

WHEAT DUTIES.

! GOVERNMENT'S ATTITUDE.| ACTION TO BE TAKEN.I -

| In v.ew ot the expressed intentionof the Government to review the cast-ing duties on wheat and flour Ik.

North Canterbury Provincial Lse

tire of the Farmers' Union wrote to the

being circulated m tlw North Isla mfor the purpose of reducing wheat andair Tim?™ 1 and that the rro™c..l"xwutiv.-, ii. Canterbury and Otagobe asked to take up the matter

Mr (i W Leadlev said that theGovernment was not going to do any-thing for the 1930 crop.

The president (Mr t. G. trans): Wehare to stir ourselves against outfriends in the north. . ..

Mr Leadley : Can t we get in touchwith the Government and ask for some-thing more definite regarding their in-tentions'i „

.„

The president said that Mr Jorbeshad onlv made the statement \vith re-gard to the next year's crop. He wasonly one of the Cabinet, but he mightget hauled over the eoals.

The meeting went into committee toreceive some information from Mi JohnBrow n. T.iiOn resuming. Mr Brown said thatthe Wheat Committee decided that it-

was necessarv for the iour differentcentres to get together to combat thepropaganda work being carried out mthe North Island. He moved that theCentres (North. Mid, and South Can-terbury, and North Otago) appointdelegates to discuss the procedurenecessary to conduct a campaign to re-sist any reduction in the sliding scaleof duties on wheat and flour, Christ-church Centre to act as convener.

Mr G. Tait (Lowcliffe) seconded themotion.

Mr Brown snid ho thought farmerswere quite prepared for a commissionof enquiry into the wheat industry.Tliere might be a more equitable formof protection than the sliding scale,but some enquiry should be made be-fore any alteration was made.

Mr lieadley said that the agitationfor the abolition of the duty on wheatcame from a small section in the farnorth, and be thought that if thosepeople could be shown that on an aver-age yield over a period of years, the

E resent prices ruling for wheat left thearest margin of profit, their attitude

would be different. They should re-quest Sir Joseph Ward to give some-thing definite about the Government'sintention in the matter. "It is amatter of great regret that the Gov-ernment should interfere with the pre-sent arrangements. A great amount oftime and trouble was devoted by thefarmers and the Tariff Commission inarranging this, and it is a pity thatone Government should build up andthe other full down protection on ourfoodstuffs. If they carry on and de-stroy the wheat-growing industry theywill be out of the frying pan into t-hetire."

The president : The people in thenorth are trying to get a cheaper loaf.

Mr Lead lev: It is a one-eyed busi-ness.

Mr Wills said that in the south afour-pound loaf was lOd or 10^d.

The president: It seems a pity thatwe have to go to the trouble to educatethe people just because a Governmentwhich may be only temporarily inpower, can open up the question.

Mr Brown said they had a definit-estatement from the Minister for Agri-culture with regard to next year'scrop, and he would not press for anyfurther information from the PrimeMinister. If the Christehurch Centreconsidered that there was need foragitation, then they could act in thematter.

The motion was carried and it wasdecided to forward a copy of the reso-lution to the A. and P. Associations,Chamber of Commerce, and branches ofthe Union.

MEAT FREIdHTS.THE FLAT RATE.

[VHE PBESS Special Service.]

WELLINGTON, April 19.Preparatory to the renewal of the

freight contracts of the Meat Pro-ducers' Board and Dairy Produce Con-trol Board with the overseas shippinglines, which lapse in August of nextyear, a group of primary producers areconsidering the question of the flat rateof freight.

Shortly there will be brought beforethe control Boards the vie'A's of theseproducers, and it is probable that someproposals will be made for a rate frommain ports lower than that chargedfrom smaller and roadstead ports.

This reeling that shipment should bemore centralised to permit quicker dis-patch and more complete organisationof production, with possible lesseningof costs of shipment, is growing. Onthe other hand, the shipping companiesdo not seem to consider that the gainwill be as great as it anticipated by theproducers concerned.

"The shipping companies are natur-ally prepared to quote the ControlBoards for whatever shipment is de-sired," said the manager of one of thebiggest New Zealand shipping com-panies to-day. "If the Boards are pre-pared to bring the produce to mainports the shipping companies willnaturally quote a rate from main ports.On the other hand, it must be remem-bered that the flat rate of freight hasdone a great deal to develop the agri-cultural areas of the country. Iffarmers had been forced to wait untilthere was a coastal service capable ofhandling their produce they "would nothave been able to farm on anythinglike present-day scale in many parts ofthe Dominion. The knowledge thatthis means of transport was availablehelped them to take up land and theflat rate is still a factor in the coun-try's development.

"There is another aspect of the case.We carry produce from New Zealandto Halifax. Hull. London, or Antwerpat a flat rate. If we are to alter ourpractice a? between Gisborne and Wel-lington or Waneanui and Lyttelton,we should alter it as between Halifaxand London."

AGRICULTURE IN N.Z.

TASMANIA* MINISTER'SIMPRESSIONS.

[THE FRESS Special Service.]

AUCKLAND, April 19."I Tvis.ii to express my appreciation

of the very great courtesy which hasbeen extended to me by the Govern-ment and people of New Zaland inihe course of my somewhat rapid tourot the Dominion.said Sir Walter H.Lee, twice Premier of Tasmania, andnow .Minister for Agriculture and Pub-lic Works, before leaving by the Cli-iiiaro to-day oil his homeward journey.Sir Walter arrived in Auckland lastnight accompanied by the Director ofAgriculture for Tasmania, .Mr FrankE. Ward.

"The reputation of New Zealand asa. very progressive country induced inoto come here," said the visitor, "anda,s 1 go back with ;i great deal of in-formation which will be helpful in de-veloping our State, 1 count the visitwell worth while. On such a hurriedtrip I can claim to have seen onlysamples of all that you have to show.One of my outstanding impressions isof the splendid pasture lands in theNorth Island. These lands provide anobject-lesson as to what can be donein the improvement of pastures byheavy top-dressing methods. As onewho comes from a purely agriculturalcountry I have also been struck by theabsence of general agricultural produc-tion. New Zealand is certainly agreat pastoral country."

In his capacity as Minister forForestry, Sir Walter has made a closeinvestigation of the New Zealand policyand lias inspected some of the Gov-ernment plantations in the Taupo andKotorna areas. He is greatly im-pressed with what has already beenaccomplished, and says that althoughso far Tasmania has not done muclihe hopes that steps will soon be takenin that direction. The visitor com-mented on the successful cultivation ofpumice lands in New Zealand, anasaid that Tasmania had yet to learnthe full value of extensive use offertilisers.

"While in Wellington," said the jMinister, "I had the pleasure of eon-ferring with the Prime Minister, Sir jJoseph Ward, and the Postmaster- IGeneral, the Hon. Mr Donald, more |particularly in reference to the pro- jposed resumption of a direct steamerservice between Bluff and Hobart. VVe jin Tasmania welcome most heartily Ithe renewing of this link of communi- Ication. Apart from the important con- 'siderations of tourists and mails we ihope to send you more of our hard itimbers and to import from your Do-minion produce which will find a goodmarket in Tasmania. We shall beglad to do all that is possible to facili-tate a direct steamer service."

CANTERBURY MARKETS

A POTATO FIRMING.

(SI OUR CO3AMESUAL EDITOB.j

Friday Evening.Potatoes were the only product to

'move during the week. Notwithstand-ing that Auckland market is . ellsupplred there is quite a firm demandlitre. This is due mainly to the factthat a lew over-tellers have had tolook round to cover their operations.Farmers are offering vi»ry sparingly,and their belief in the outlook foigood prices is based on the fact thatas digging proceeds a good deal ofblight has been revealed. It wouldbe wrong to suggest that the troubUso far indicates a material effect onthe yield, but it is enough to firmholders' ideas. The Katoa, which sails

will take a cargo of about3000 sacks for Auckland. Businesshas been done in "prompts" at £510s f.0.b., s.i., the same for May-June(Lyttelton), and £6 10s to £6 12s Odfor July-September. Prices to farm-ers are £4 5i

The recent shipment of onions fromLyttelton to Sydney ig expected to ar-rive to-day or to-morrow. The cablesstate that £l3 10s was realised forNew Zealand onions offered the otherday as against 10 guineas to 11 guin-eas made by the main offering of theshipment. Victorians at the samemarket made £l2, which indicates thatthe New Zealand shipment must havebeen of good quality. Another ship-ment will be made from Lytteltonearly next month and this may be ex-pected to be the final one this season.The local crops are turning out ex-ceptionally well on an average. Cur-rent quotations are £1 15s to £o aton on trucks.

Cert&lß and Seeds.There is not much activity ir« the

milling wheat market, and quotationsremain at 5s 8d on trucks for Tuscan.

Fowl wheat is offering forward forMay-September at os 9d f.0.b., withfew buyers. Prompt fowl wheat isworth 5s Bd. A point that has wmeinfluence on the winter demand forfowl wheat is that largely increasedquantities of mai»e are being utilisedby North Island poultry-farmers. Thisproduct is a good deal cheaper thanwheat. Naturally it is too heatingfor poultry in the summer.

There is no life in the oats market.A Gartons are quoted at 3s sid forprompt, and B's 3s 2d, spread deliverya -i d more.

The present is an absolutely "off"season for a small seeds demand, theNorth Island autumn sowing beingover. There is no change to recordin recent quotations.

The equivalent to these prices ontrucks here would be about 2s 8d per bushelon trucks country stations for A grade and2s 5d for B grade. Values to farmers, how-ever, are about 3a per bushel for A gradaand 2s 6d for B grade. Ejeeptionallv heavylines of A's might command from Id to 2dmore.

Caledonian Market is fortunately be-coming genteel. Its reputation forcheap treasures is gradually raising itin the social scale, and tbero are a re-grettable number of thoroughly reput-able ami !U)jpec table shopkeepers whobavo stalls tliero nowadays. Indeed,it wouldn't bo at all a bad idea, whensummer is with us again, to have a stallthere oneself.

A Dinner Party.I choose this dinner party as a con-

trast to the market, for it was a granddinner party, being given at GrosvenorHouse by the committee of the Mother-craft Training {Society.

This Society is of particular interestto New Zealanders as it was started byLady Victoria Braithwaite, and is anextension, in England, of the ■wonder-ful pioneer work she did for New Zea-land when she was Lady Plunket.Having virtually inaugurated thesociety in England, sent for Sir TrubyKing on lier own initiative, and donemost of the spade work, she hascharacteristically managed to avoid allpublicity, and very few of hundreds whobenefit by her work, so much as knowher name. *

The dinner was n particularly in-teresting one. The hostess was LadyDawson of Penn, wife of the King'sphysician, the chairman of the dinnercommittee. The other speakers were—The Kt. lion. J. 11. Thomas, M.P, —LordDawson, and Lady Galway, chairmanof the society. I have never heardbetter speaking. Mr Thomas, shrewd,witty, naive, with the naivety thatknows how effective it is, was cleverenough to realise that the raciness ofhis dialect, and his honesty in giving itits full value, would be appreciated andrespected by this rather impressive anddignified assembly. Having a vagueidea of Mr Thomas as a rabid Labourman, it eamo as a slight shock to hearthe fervent expressions of loyalty ihatwere thy subject, matter of fully athird of hin speech.

It seemed to me to bo typical of theEnglish temperament that a committeeof such obviously conservative peopleshould invite a Labour leader to speakat their party, and having invited himshould applaud him most for those quali-ties with which they had least in com-mon—and that he should 'oalise thisand cheerfully exploit it. Air Thomashas very great charm and is a brilliantafter-dinner speaker.

Of the others—indeed I think of allthe speakers—Lady Galway was thebest. I have nover before heard a.speech so perfectly phrased, so full ofsympathetic, understandings, so free ofsentimentality, or so devoid of affecta-tion. Lady Galway had a great subjectto deal with—the gift of health to poorchildren—and she dealt with it greatly.I mention, as a feature of interest toNew Zealanders, who have a forgivableweakness for a pat on the back, thatLady Dawson, in her speech, spoke ofNew Zealand as leading the Britishpeople in this as in so many things. Thebig dining-room at Grosvenor Housewas, as the gossip writers say, the sceneof the greatest festivity. That is to saythero were scores of lovely young ladiesand impressive elderly ones, as manyexpensive dresses and a largo quantityof jewellery. Among the guests were:—The Duke of Argyle, the Marquis and3Vtarchiories« of Londonderry, Dr. HenriDreyfus, Dr. and Mrs Tewsbury, Lordand Lady Plunket, Madame de Fleurian,H.E. the French Ambassador, Mrs Bald-win, Colonel and the Lady VictoriaBraithwaite, and many other people whohave helped Lady Victoria and SirTruby King to carry on in England withthe work they so successfully foundedin New Zealand.

Winter Months.February is half over and the cow-

slips are out in Cornwall. Our ownwoods here in Buckinghamshire, are stillfast asleep. People who take pleasurein the plays of Shakespeare (and whyis it so difficult to mention Shakespearewithout becoming self-conscious, Iwonder) should spend at least a year inEngland, for until they do that theywill never know how uncannily sensi-tive he was to the earth-things. Hisphrases have the very voice of thecountry-side, as if he used, not humanwords," but the articulate language oftrees, and turf, and cold runningwater.

"Tho (old stands empty in the drowned fieldAnd nine men's morris is filled up with

mud."•'When icicles ban* by the wall,And Dick the shepherd blows hi® nan,And Tern bests logs into the bill.And milk comes froaen home in pail.When blood i» nipped »nd ways be foul,Then nightly sings the stsrins owl,

Tu-whit;Tn-who. ft merry note.While greasy Joan doth keel the pot."

Yes, that is for February, wintry andconvivial, I.tit later on, in May, thestrolling player turns into a faun.

I never cease to exclaim, with simplewonder, at the obvious thought of itsbeing summer with you while it iswinter with us.

Monstrous odd! But there it is onlyby exercising the greatest self restraintthat I can manage to avoid saying,"The days arc drawing out."

THE WORLD OFBOOKS.

HALF HOURS IN A LIBRARY.

SPECIALLY WHITTEX FOB THE P&ESS.)

By A. EL Gkisxixg.

CCCVIII—OX WILLIAM COWPER.Lamb, writing to Coleridge, said: "I

am glad you love Cowper. I could for-give a man for not enjoying Milton,but I would not call that man myfriend who should be offended with the•divine chit-chat of Cowper. Thatdivine chit-chat is half hidden in Cow-per's letters, whereof a selection editedbv Mr E. V. Lucas fills one of thehandy little volumes in the "World'sClassics" series. And Mr Lueas iscareful to explain that the "admirablephrase, ' "divme chit—chat, wasoriginally applied not to Cowper's prosebut to his poetry. 4 'Lamb s letter was

written in 1796, while Cowper was stillliving, and before any of his corres-pondence had been published." Therewill always be a difference of opinionas to who is the best letter writer inthe English language, but Mr Lucassays :

The claims of Cowper, whether theywin or lose in the competition, have al-ways to b© weighed with the utmost con-sideration. One thing is certain, that noone else possessed an epistolary mannerof greater distinction and fluidity, or withthe possible exception of Fitzgerald, amode of life better calculated to lead togood correspondence. For it is a mistakewhen a letter writer is a man of action"with too much to tell. .He is then indanger of becoming exciting. The bestletter writers never excite; they enter-tain, amuse, interest; excite never. Ahumorous observer of life, of strong affec-tions, and possessed of sufficient egotismto desire to keep his friends acquaintedwith his thoughts, adventures, moods, andachievements', is, he is without re-sponsibilities, or harassing demands on histime, in the ideal position to write suchletters as become literature. Cowper, atOlnev, Fitzgerald at Woodbridge, Gray atCambridge, Walpole at Strawberry Hill—-these fulfil the conditions absolutely—allchildless; all solitaries, or at least quitehappv when solitary; all amateurs; allblessed with a competency; all men ofthought rather than action; all interestedin themselves; and all possessed ot avariety of mind which may be said neverto have been in deshabUe.

Introducing "A Letter Book, Pro-fessor Saintsbury says that by com-mon consent, of all opinion worth at-tention, tho eighteenth century wasin tho two European literatures whichwere equally free from crudity anddecadence —French and English—thevery palmiest day of the art or letterwriting." "Everybody wrote letters;and a surprising number of peoplewrote letters well." Professor Saints-burv points out that the rise of theEnglish novel in the eighteenth cen-tury is hardly more remarkable thanthe way in which that novel almostwedded ' itself—certainly joined itselfin the most frequent friendship—to theletter form. In striking contrast, lieadds; "The newspaper hqs probablydono more to kill fetters than anypenny post, halfpenny postcard, oreven sixpenny telegram could do. Norperhaps have" we yet

_

mentioned themost powerful destructive agent of all,and that is the ever increasing wantof leisure. The dullness of modernJack, in letters as elsewhere, arisesfrom the fact that when he is not atwork he is too desperately set on play-ing to have time for anything else."One of Cowper's most characteristicletters was written to the Rev. Wil-liam Unwin under date November 18th,1782, and in which he refers to thesurprising success of "John Gilpin."

My Dear William. ... I little thoughtwhen I was writing the history o£ "JohnGilpin" that he would appear in print.I intended to laugh and to make two orthree others laugh, of whom you wereone. But now all the world laughs, atleast, if they have the same relish for atale ridiculous in itself, and quaintly* told,as we have—well, they do not alwayslaugh bo innocently, or at so small an ex-pense—for in a world like this, abound-ing with subjects for satire, and withsatirical wits to mark them—a laugh thathurts nobody has at least the grace ofnovelty to recommend it., Swift'S ( darl-ing motto was *'Vive la bagatelle agood wish for a philosopher of his com-plexion, the greater part of whose wisdomwhencesoever it came, came not fromabove. "La Bagatelle" has no enemy inme, though it has neither so warm afriendship or so able a one as it had in

him. If X trifle, and merely trifle, it is

because I am reduced to it by necessity—-a melancholy that nothing else so effectu-ally disperses, engages me sometimes inthe arduous task of being merry by forceAnd, strange as it may seem, the mostludicrous lines X ever wrote have beenwritten in the saddest mood, and, but forthat saddest mood had never been writtenat all To say the truth, it would be buta shocking vagary, should the mariners onboard a ship buffeted by a ter"bl j> storm,employ themselves in fiddling and dancing;yet sometimes such a pa v,rYours, my dear William, W.<^.

That metaphor epitomises the tragedyof the poet's life. "To form anythmglike a fair estimate of Cowper, de-clares Mr Augustine Birrell, 'it is wise

to ignore as much as possible his men-tal disease and always to bear m mmdthe manner of man he naturally was.He belonged essentially to the orderof wags. He was, it is easy to see, a

lover of trifling things elegantly finish-ed. He hated noise, contention, andthe public gaze, but society he everinsisted upon. He loved a jest, abarrel of oysters, and a bottle or wine.His well-known riddle on a kiss isCowper from top to toe. Had Cowpernot gone mad in his thirty-second year,and been frightened out of the worldof trifles, we should have had anotherPrior, a wittier Gay, an earlier Praed,an English La Fontaine." Mrs Unwmand Lady Austen each had a hand in

th<* success of "John Gilpin. LadyAusten told him a story; Cowper lavawake at night laughing over it, andnext morning he produced the ballad.This when complete was forwarded byMrs Unwin to a country newspaper,from which it circulated through thepublio Press, although its authorshipwas not at first disclosed. At length"The Diverting History of John Gil-pin" attracted the attention of RicharrSharp, an intimate acquaintance of apopular actor of the day. Hendersonby name. It was the custom of theperiod to celebrate the season of Lenttiv public recitations at Freemasons'Hall, as a kind of substitute for theprohibited theatrical entertainments.Into the recitations Henderson in're-duced "John Gilpin," the room wuacrowded on every occasion, and the suc-cess was attributed to "John Gilpin."The audiences forgot their Lentengravity and chuckled outright, MrsSiddons herself, the tragic muse, wasseen to clap, and the overflowing audi-ences in the Freemasons' Hall were re-flected in an overflowing circulation ofthe popular ballad.

Cowper was both flattered andgrieved at the fame which had cometo him to strangely, hut he was con-soled by the thought that Gilpinmight have its use. His meditation onthe point is seasoned with wit and wis-dom. "Causes in appearances trivial,"1» writes, "often produce the most

•beneficial consequences-, and, perhaps,ray volumes may now travel to a dis-tance, to which, -f they had not beenushered into the world bv that notablehorseman, they would" never havereached. Our temper differs somewhatfrom that of the ancient Jews. Th<?ywould neither dance nor weep. We

indeed, weep not, if a man mourn untous; but I must needs say that if hepipe we seem disposed to danoe with

the greatest alacrity." The highercritics have got to work, and havedemonstrated to a proof that despitethe ballad, John Gilpin could not havemade his ride to Edmonton and Wars,in the time, and by the route set down.The critics have said the same aboutDick Turpin and his famous ride toYork; on all such matters I am astrict fundamentalist, an<i I refuse tohave my faith shaken in Gilpin andTurpin. Besides, who should knowbetter than Cowper who wrote theballad P

Among the many volumes of hack-work which Edward Thomas was com-pelled to turn out in order to earna living, is a book called "Feminineinfluence on the Poets," in whichCowper takes a prominent place.Cowper's mother was a Miss Donne,probably of the same Welsh family asthe poet Donne. But Thomas, himselfof Welsh descent, remarks: "To statethe influence of such a relationship isimpossible. The explicit influence isvery little concerning Cowper's mother,or the mothers of most other Englishpoets." When he comes to deal with"Poets and Friendly Women,'' Thomasgets greater satisfaction. "It is notsurprising," he writes, "that Cowperfelt profoundly the sight of hismother's picture over half a centuryafter her death, since women from thebeginning to the end meant so muchto him. Most of hi? friends werewomen, and they wero the most In-timate of his friends." Following men-tion of the several women who at onetime or another came into the poet'slife, Thomas proceeds:

Cowper's women, as may be seen, wereall and everything to him. They madelife and his work possible to him. Hebecame very much like one of them withhis rebuke to tobacco:—' 'Pernicious weed whose scent the fair

annoys,Unfriendly to society's chief joys,The worst effect is banishing for hours,The sex whose presence civilises ours."And his tenderness, even to the worm:—"I would not enter on my list of friends(Though graced with polished manners and

fine sense.Yet wanting sensibility) the manWho needlessly sets foot upon a worm."

In his poem on "Friendship" he doesnot mention female friends, and even callsthe love of woman "not so pure" orso secure as friendship. But this com-parison is not without s suspicion of con-ventionality, perhaps of the Puritan's lowopinion of women. The "Valediction" isprobably truer to his deepest thoughts inits desire for a retreat from the world withone who has known and escaped man-kind :"With him, perhaps with her (for men

have knownNo firmer friendships than the fair have

shown),Let me enjoy in some unthought-of spot,All former friends forgiven and forgot.Down to the close of life's, fast fading

scene,Union of hearts without a flaw between."

And such was his fortune. He does not,indeed, dwell upon the physical beauty ofwomen, either in his verse or his prose:and perhaps the one romantic touch to awoman's portrait in his work is the com-parison of the rustic lass to "the fairshepherdess of old romance.'' - But he didnot confine himself only to homely in-timacies. Many of his lively occasionalpoems were inspired by women "whomman was born to please." We have tothank Mrs Newton for:

"A noble theme demands a noble verse:In such I thank you for your fine oysters."

And Mrs King (the friend of hisbrothers, who was made one of his by"The Task") for the poem in return fora quilt:—

"The Bard if e'er he feel at all.Must sure be quickened by a callBoth on his heart and head,To pay with tuneful thanks the careAnd kindness of a lady fair

Who deigns to deck his bed."Ab<l Miss Stapleton, afterwards MrsCourtenay. for two sprirhtly ni..., ,j.dressed to that young lady -who sang andplayed lik» an angel." *

LURE OF THEWILD.

"IN GOD'S GARDEN."

THE WEST COAST FLORA.

UNIQUE ALPINE MEADOW.

[By E. E. Mcib—Copyright.]

Gorgeous flowerets in the sunlight shining,Blossoms flaunting in the eya of day.

—Longfellow.

Visitors to the West Coast of theSouth Island naturally expect to see awealth of bush scenery, but they arehardly prepared for the wonderfulgrowth of sub-tropical vegetation thatgreets them on every side and for thereally surprising fact that it actuallygets better and better the further souththey go. The drives through the Bullerand Otira Gorges and down from Hoki-tika to Waiho, the starting-off pointfor the Franz Josef Glacier, are un-

forgettable for the superb and ever-changing views they present of Natureexpressing herself in her most riotousmood—a bewildering succession ofbush, mountain, river, lake and sea-scapes, each emphasised in the superla-tive degree, each adding to the other'sglory in the most perfect fusion ofcolourings, the whole in many respect©unlike anything to be seen anywhereelse. It, of course, has its explanation—the height of the Great Divide, soclose to the sea, striking down at rightangles to the prevailing winds; hencethe heavy rainfall, and, when itis fine (and it can be gloriously fineon the West Coast), all the beauty thatthere is.

The Drive to Waiho Gorge.In the 92-mile drive from Hokitika

to Waiho, notwithstanding what hasalready been passed through, thetourist is aroused out of himself by thescores of miles of dense, luxuriantforest through which he proceeds;great trees, 100, 120ft and more high,flank both sides of the narrow high-way, almost meeting in their darkgreen foliage overhead; ferns, magnifi-cent ferns, of every description, vividand pale green mosses, appear every-where; while mirror-like pools andlakes, roaring rivers and streams arepassed frequently, adding to the en-chantment.

On reaching Waiho the stranger notunnaturally concludes that in sylvanglories he has seen all that Nature,even in her finest expression, can pro-vide, but, if he is wise, he will notcontent himself with that comfortingassurance, for, extraordinary as it mayseem (and it is extraordinary), he hasonly arrived at the point where stillrarer beauties are to be seen—the drivefrom Waiho to Weheka, the enchantingalpine meadow on Alec's Knob, and thewonderful alpine garden on Mt. Moltke.

Sublime Triple Climax.In the comparatively short distance

of seventeen miles the motor drivefrom Waiho to Weheka is a revela-tion, combining all the wildestgrandeurs of the Buller and OtiraGorges and more, far more. It is herethat a sublime triple climax is un-folded: of the noble Southern Alps,close at hand, reaching their highestelevation and yet being seen almostfrom sea level, Mt. Cook, Mt. Tasman,Mt. Elie de Beaumont and other iee-clad monarchs, soaring skywards, show-ing out repeatedly in full view in alltheir splendours; of glaciers descend-

ingL to_ °£Pre«dentedly low levels ofunder 700ft, within a few miles of theever-open sea; of the forest with its

wealth Oi ferns and mosses, all moreluxuriant than any previously seen,growing rank, in the wildest profusion,unbroken and unspoilt, indeed, "as itwas in the beginning.

.

. " Thenarrow but well-metalled road windsm and out, climbs over three saddles,crosses blue, turbulent torrents ofglacier-fed rivers and streams, reveal-ing, in the changing effects of sunlightshadow, the rarest and mostravishing views. .

.. When the

forest is in bloom, when the scarlet ratais out, it is beauty transcendent.. . . In this treasure house of scenicwonders where splendour erowds uponsplendour, each adorning the splendourof the others, there are at least threescenes that stamp themselves perma-nently on one's memory. These arethe perfect picture of Elie de Beaumontas seen from Doehertv's Creek, theextraordinarily fine Waikukupa Gorgewhere the magnificent forest plungesdeep down on one side of the road andrises hundreds of feet overhead on theother, and the emergence out on toWeheka Flat, with Cook and Tasmantowering above.

"And the Wild Birds Answered."The whole district of South West-

land, of course, is a perfect paradise tothe botanist, and, indeed, to any loverof Nature, but where so much isunique and one begins to take the un-usual for granted one of the mostpleasant surprises awaits those whomake the climb of Alec's Knob, oneof the lower peaks of the Kaiser Fritzrange, rising immediately to the westof the terminal face of the FranaJosef Glacier. The writer was privi-leged to make this ascent in the com-pany of Mr Peter Graham, the famousalpine guide, an American lady andgentlemen, and a Christchurch ladywho some days previously had dis-tinguished herself by climbing one ofthe Minarets (10,058ft), and he countsthe days as being among the rarestand most pleasant of his experiences.It, in fact, gave him the title for thisarticle, "In God's Garden."

After the fine walk from Waiho tothe Glacier, in which one sees a gloriousdell of the magnificent todea superba,or "Prince of Wales's fern," we struckat onee into the forest, and, followingthe well-blazed trail, were delighted im-mediately by two things—the whollypleasant fragrance (the faintest smellas of musk and almonds), and the find-ing of green orchids, four and liveinches long, growing on theforest floor. The climb, thoughaffording plenty of handholds,was wholly stiff until we reached"Christmas Outlook," some 3000ft up,and here, while gazing enraptured atthe unrivalled view of the glacier, wewere rarely entertained by Mr Graham,specially "whistling in" the kakas, thelargest and most fascinating parrots ofthe New Zealand forest, which flew tohim fqr miles around and inspected usfrom neighbouring bows. It was thecall of man to the wild, and the wildbirds answered, chattering all the whilethey gathered around us.

Alpine Meadow filled with Flowers.The higher we climbed the easier it

became, and the more rapidly the char-acter of the vegetation changed. Pass-ing up through extensive areas of nei-nei (the New Zealand "pineapple"),last year's leaves of which thieklystrewed the trail, we ascended into theAlpine flora, growing in riotous pro-fusion up the mountain side, manyvarieties being in full Mostnotable among these were the gloriousmountain-ribbonwood with its beautifulclusters of white cherry-like blossoms,and the gaultheria rupestris, a shrubfour or five feet high, specially abun-dant in these parts, covered with massesof white snowdrop-like blossoms. . . .

Further up towards the summit thesuperb ranunculus lyalii _ (the mountainlily), unsurpassable celmisias (mountaindaisies), and clusters of the white starryourisias began to appear.

At last we reached the top (4288ftabove sea level. .

'.. Who would

have believed that such a thing waspossible? ... On its eastern side,right up to the actual ridge, Alec'sKnob was completely clothed in densesub-tropical forest and Alpine shrubswith not a break to be seen the wholeway down. On its western side lay amost perfect alpine meadow 150 to 200acres in extent, minus almost any shrubsat all, filled with the most amazingvariety of pure white flowers!

Dr. Hill's Remarkable Tribute.It was no wonder that Dr. A. W. Hill,

Director of Kew Gardens, one of theforemost botanists in the British Em-pire, used such unusual language afterpaying a visit to it about the sametim elast year. "I never before hadseen such a collection of alpine plantsas I saw there," said Dr.commenting on his visit to Alec's Knob.

. . The wonderful vegetation onthe alpine meadow at the top amply re-paid us for all our trouble. When wegot on to that alpine meadow, therewas a scene of interest and beautywhich was quite a revelation. Theplants there are particularly interest-ing to any European alpinist, as theyoffer a striking contrast to anythingwe have in our part of the world. Allthe flowers we saw on Alec's Knobwere pure white. There was not asingle coloured one amongst them. Theyare extraordinarily beautiful. T'herewere ourisias, ranunculus lyalii, andhebe (veronica) macrantha. The sighttha't met my eyes was in itself worthcoming all the way to New Zealand tosee. In that remarkable garden ofwild flowers there are many other in-teresting plants. Lilaeopsis and ealthanovae-zealandica are of special interestto me, as I have worked on them inEngland. The high alpine New Zealandflora, as seen on that mountain, is un-like anything else, owing to the numer-ous plants with white flowers, in theirsetting of the yellowish Danthoniagrass. The size of many of the flowersis very striking, especially the largecelmisias, a most wonderful sight. Allthe flowers seen were unusually largeand beautiful."

Bellbird as a Soloist.

j Sloping down at an agle of about 30I degrees or more, relieved by a tarn! here and there, this wonderful gardenjis tended only by the Heavenly

[ Gardener, and is truly one of the most; enchanting sights to be seen anywhere.We spent four hours in enjoying thedelights of its snow-white and starrysplendours, inhaling the balmy air.Gentians were there, beautiful green

I jnosses with tiny white-star flowers the; size of a pin's head, masses of starryj everlasting daisies, edelweiss, and,! amazing as it seemed to us, orchidsI too. . . How throughout that daywe wished we knew more of botany,that it had been taught more in ourschools!

The fascinating keas were there also,providing us with added amusement—-°,ne

,

even got away with the table-cloth and everything on it as we finish-ed our luncheon!

. . . But whatwere those mellifluous notes? Surelynot at that height? Yes, it was a bell-bird singing his heart out in God's Gar-den, fit notes to be heard even inHeaven itself. . .

. Not one of uspicked a single flower. It seemed sacri-lege to do so.

THE GRAND THRILL.

WHY DOES GREAT POETRY

MOVE US?

[BY "Cykaxo."]We must be getting near the very

last of the work that C. E. Montague,that fine spirit and apostle of adven-ture and culture, left behind. It isfitting that the fifth of his ''LastEssays," which the "London Mercury"is printing, should be called "TheLast Question of All." the ultimatequestion which, he says, is led up to byall lines of thought about literature."Why are we moved so strongly andso strangely as we arc by certainsimple groupings of a few ordinarywordsf" Montague, who was steepedin the best literature, soaked sothoroughly that it was with difficultyhe wrote without quoting, puts a ques-tion that must have occurred to everyone of us that loves good writing. Itis not confined to poetry, though it ispoetry that gives us the greatest num-ber of these exalted moments and thehighest elevation. He quotes in hisopening:—

The tide of pompThat beats upon the high shore of

this world,and. "visited all night by troops ofstars," and two lines from Meredith's"Love in a Valley":—Lovely are the curves of the white owl

sleeping,Wavy in the dusk lit by one large star.But he also quotes Falstaff's "We haveheard the chimes at midnight,'' whichis prose. And he might have quoted,"Or ever the silver cord be loosed or thegolden bowl be broken," or "The soulsof the righteous are in the hands ofGod," or the magnificent ending toEaleigh's history (though it is ratherlonger than the scraps he has in mind):"Oh, eloquent, just, and mighty death,"and on lower level, but still on therarefied heights, Conrad's slow move-ment after the fury of the storm,"On men reprived by its disdaiufulmercy the immortal sea confers in itsjustice the full privilege of desired un-rest." The number is infinite.

His own experience is that of many,indeed, of every man and woman sealedof imagination's elect. He remembersas a schoolboy discovering a verse fromScott that made him so drunk withdelight that he had to walk up anddown empty compartments of trains,saying it over and over again. Theadult Stevenson told Mr Yeats thatwhen he read those lines from Meredithhe went about "whooping the heavenlystuff to the Dryads of the Biviera."We obscure folk remember discoveriesof Tennyson—"There is sweet musichere that softer falls"; of OmarKhayvam (how that did go to our

young heads!); or Swinburne—"Whenthe hounds of Spring are on wiuter'straces," and the almost equally wonder-ful opening, "Maiden and mistress ofthe months and stars"; even of thenow almost forgotten Stephen Phillips;and in later years of the true whiteinner light of Wordsworth—"beautyborn of murmuring sound," and "thestill sad music of humanity." Forthe moment these words filled ourworld. We walked on air and couldhave touched the stars. Moreover, we

longed to tell everybody about it.Why? Montague does not profess toanswer the question completely.takeS refuge in the end in a questionof Montaigne, "What know I?" Buthis consideration of the greatest ofliterary questions does help us, beeausehe discusses various reasons why we areso moved to awful and incommunicabledelight, and because he infects us withhis own enthusiasm.

As he says, it is easy to go some wayby realising that the melody of linesand the skilful use of consonants andvowels please our ear. Many famousmen have said notable things theirdeath-beds, and many who have died inobscurity have with their last wordstouched the hearts of relatives andfriends, but Antony's, "I am dying,Egypt, dving," has a magic of itsown. Why? Partly because of itscadence. Stevenson analysed the con-struction of the famous "bargespeech is c ( Antony and Cleopatra,with its subtle music of "p's," "f's"and "s's," but attached too muchimportance to the technical perfectionof the lines. Sound, however skilfullyblended, will not, without deep sense,give us the grand thrill. Literature is

thick with poets who have more soundthan sense, as witness a great part ofSwinburne. Every editor—even in thispart of the world—receives poems thatare pretty in the way that a musicalbox is pretty—a tinkling sound andnothing else. Moreover, Montaguenotes that though context counts forsomething, it is not everything. "Thosesmall splinters of perfection in the artof letters would still bewitch us if theyhad no context at all." He cites whathas long seemed to me one of the mostwonderful lines in the language, a line |containing a wider suggestion otromance than anything else—"ChildRoland to the dark tower came." Thiswas struck off by Shakespeare in"Lear" without context. Only when"Lear" is actually seen on the stage—as it is being seen now-—can the com-plete detachment of the line be fullyrealised. Edgar throws it off in themidst of his simulated madness in thestorm scene, and follows it with twolines fit for a nursery rhyme. Yet "ithaunts the minds of poets," for ithas "a kind of dazzling unreason, asit may seem at first sight—a power oftaking you captive without giving youany material? for a presentable ex-planation of your surrender."

Here, I think Montague does not gofar enough. He might have pursuedthe question why this particular line isso haunting, and found some explana-tion of the extraordinary effect this andsimilar lines produce on the Imaginativemind. The "Child Roland" line isespecially interesting beeause Brown-ing wrote a wonderful poem about it.Browning 's poem is an elaborationalong a certain line of the thoughtsthat come into the mind when we readthe line. Edgar's words mean muchmore to ua after we have read Brown-ing. Even without Browning the wordssuggest certain vague pictures to theimaginative mind—a knight riding outafter adventure, a tower that mighthold a lovely princess in distress orthe embodied forces of evil. It sug-gests the twilight, the mystery, andthe infinite possibilities of the unknown.But it suggests these only to tfte

"Magic casements opening

foam. . . ." This suggests infiniteromance, adventure and boanty, batonly to the mind of a certain quality,and prepared to a certain point of edu-cation. And is not much of the pene-trating quality of "I am dying, Egypt,dying, ' due to the association* that"Egypt" calls up!

We must, however, take a broaderview than this. Montague says that ifwe cannot say why we capitulate thusto the magic of poetry, we can fix anddescribe our sensations. We are deeplyexcited; our faculties are enhanced";our perceptions keener. "The wholeadventure of mankind upon the earthgains, in our sight, a new momentous-ness, preeariousness and beauty. . .

Living becomes a grander affair thanwe had ever thought." Or, as thatfine scholar, J. W. Maekaii puts it ina defence of Latin and Greek, whichI happened to re-read just after read-ing Montague's essay, poetry gives usa vision that enables us to overcomethe world. The great writer gives usthis vision because his intensity ofperception and emotion exceed* that ofother men. Montague makes this point,which may seem absurd to many, thatit is seldom a great artist has anythingnew to say about life. "The thingsthat touch or amuse him are usuallythose by which the greatest numberof ordinary people were touched andamused before him. The minds ofVirgil and Sophocles, Shakespeare andDante and Goethe seem in the main tohave brooded over just those staplethemes which elicit less memorable ex-pressions of melancholy from Smith,Browu, and Jones—lost youth andsevered friends and disappointed loveand the consignment of beauty to dust,and the frustration of hopes that onceseemed too powerful ever to fail."The theme may be common to all.Jones may remark that life is short,fleeting and rather futile. Shakespearewrites the "To-morrow and to-morrowand to-morrow," and it momentarilylifts successive generations right out oflife and gives them a share of Insextraordinary clarity of visioD. Thisis why "topical" literature hag sucha poor chance of long survival.C'atullas' lament over his brother maybe remembered long after Mr BernardShaw's sociological plays are forgot-ten. It is words about the eternalverities that live—the right words, ofcourse, and used with searing sincerity.

As Montague says, a slippery politi-cian may put his hand on his heart andtalk of "the cause," and we are notmoved an iota, but when Othjello says"It is the cause, my soul, it is thecause," the sincerity of it pierces lis.And when Antony says "I am dying,Egypt, dying," he" refers to the commonlot"of man, but expresses "truth raisedto higher power of itself." Montagueasserts that however sombre the theme,it brings to the artist no grief in theusual sense of the word. For grief dis-ables, and this kind of vision em-powers. It has been said that God isa person who feels all the pain thereis in the world without being disabledby it at all. And that much of divine-ness there is in a great artist. Anordinary man may see enough of thepain of" the world to make him despair,or enough of its beauty to make himdrunk. The artist keeps hold of him-self and converts his emotion into con-structive force. To lose control of him-self is to surrender his art.

We do not know, we cannot know,exactly why these things move us, anymore than we know why Beethoven orChopin create for us a few minutes ofheaven. We know that they do, and itis profitable to explore the great ques-tion with so clear-sighted and inspireda guide. Literature is like religion, inthat we are meant to examine its pro-cesses, even though we can never pene-trate its innermost mysteries.

"The discovery of the long-lost MS.lof a novel by Napoleon," says theLondon "Observer," "has caused sur-prise among those who forget that be

was a student of Plutarch, of Vol-taire, and Rousseau, and even of JamesMacPherson's 'Ossian,' and preparedand polished his despatches as care-fully as if they had been intended forpublication in an edition-de-luxe.Napoleon, like many men who haveachieved fame in another sphere, hada by no means secret impulse towardsliterature, and in his last days at St.Helena he kept closely by him theMS., not only of his novel, ' Clisson andEugenie,' but of his military plansand campaigns, all exquisitely writtenin bis own hand and beautifullyin one large volume. ProtestorSzymon Askenazy, of Warsaw, is n>wto publish these MSB- ia factimic.The despatches and campaigns «nllprobablv be of interest mainly tostudents of the period, but 'Clissonand Eugenie,' we *mcy, will interestthe whole world. For it is the storyof Napoleon's own unhappy love affairwith DSsiree Clary, who afterwardsmarried Marshal Bernadotte and be-come Queen of Sweden. That thenovel should first appear in Warsaw isan ironic situation that Napoleon hto-self would sorely have appreciated.

A well-known London lawyer, who

prefers to remain anonymous for the

moment, has made a literary discovery

of considerably importance. It is BO

less than the complete MS. of a Dumas

novel about Garibaldi, only a few

chapters of which (curiously enough)were published during the author'slifetime.

EASIER GOLF.RISE OF THE MASHK-

NIBLICK.

(sraciAUT *umi son m if.)

(By Harry Yardon. Six Times OfMChampion.)

Mr W. Why toe*, a British golfer •£

long experience now resident in Aaa-tralii, recently delivered himself of ftpublic protest which will strike a ft*sponsive chord in the heart of manya player who remembers the game inits less sophisticated days.

"There is much talk," he said, "ofstandard balls and steel shaft*, but oilpoint seems to be overlooked. Sometime ago, deeprilbod irons worn rule#out as giving the player an andoc ad-vantage. Now we have a new Imple-ment—you could not call it a golfclub—a sort of scoop, with a largehead and well laid back face, some-times misnamed a r.iblifk.

"This implement reduces the shoiover a hazard on to the green to a sortof cup and ball game, quite BS«wUfof the name of golf. It detract* morefrom the skill of strokes than did tharibbed iron. Unless each player in atournament is supplied with one ®fthese monstrosities, a big advantage Islost or gained."

This is unquestionably what maayold-time players think about the ac-ceptance of the mashie-nibUek M aaindispensable item in the modern golfequipment.

It renders unnecessary the skilfulapplication of spin which has to I*imparted to the ball with an ordinarymashie, once virtunlly the only clnb wahad to use for the pitching of ap-proaches. For the ordinary mortal themashie-nibliek is more helpful thaaany ribbed faced club, . tha effectiveemployment of which calls for a greatdeal of science.

Pioneers.Still, 1 suppose the mashienibliek ia

far too firmly established aa aa ap-proaching club for any thought of itaexpulsion from the game to beseriously considered.

Probably it owes ita evolution tothe success with which two player*who were in the forefront many yearsago. Mr John K. Gairdner and EdwardRav, cultivated the art of pitchingtheir approaches with the old-fashionedniblick—that bludgeon which, ordin-arily used only in brnkers, certainlycalled for adaptability when it waeutilised as an approsching club.

Mr Gairdner was in the last eight inthe amateur championship in 18&6 and1899; he represented Scotland againstEngland in the first internationalmatch in 1902; and ho wow manyscratch trophies in the Tantalloa,Littlestonc, Mid-Surrey, and RichmondClubs. The thing that one used to bear

j most often about him concerned Ms! skill in pitching the ball dead with a

! niblick.It was rather later that lay

astonished people by liis approachingwith a niblick. Ray, indeed, was wontto use it at distances which many ofhis rivals regarded as justification fortaking a mid-iron (some of Uii ewip«with the nibliek when be won tbe openchampionship at Muirfield in 1912 wereprodigious), but he also had a daintilydecisive and accurate toneh with it forall sorts of little chip shots.

So perhaps the promotion of the nib-lick to a place among .the front lintclubs may be attributed in a lawsmeasure to the fame which Mr BiW*ner and Bay gained with the clab wh«athey did not use it in bunktrs. Thaniblicks of twenty yeara ago had aahsrp edge which, valuable though itmay have been as a help in dlgginj

! the ball ont of sand or tenacious robstances, was apt to atiek in the groundwhen the club was pressed into servic*for ordinary approaching. Sine* that,the art of club-making ha* evolvedniblicks with aoles more resemblingthose of the mashie and leas likely toget stuck, and so the mashie-niblick haacome into universal favour.

Gnaw*£s a rule, it is the elub that ellaba

alowly into favour—securing ita ai* .berenta one by one, rather tta* I*excited crowds—that takaa a daCaxtoplace in the golfing equipment. Andthe mashie-niblick haa done that.

The creations that are the craaaa ©fone hour are often the derelieta of tt*next. There waa n#»*e- a more aotableinstance of this than the eaac of ttlSchenectady putter with whieh Mr W.J. Travis, of New York, wo# theBritish amateur championship at Sand-wich in 1904. By the time the abat-ing finished, everybody who ewrid jmr*chase a Schenectady potter ha 4into possession of one. If tha •jastihad had a stock of 50,000, I �aril* be-lieve they could have disposed or U*lot, for the demand spread ttke wfire from end to end of the la*4.

Crusted old Tories of the muia,solemn-minded men of middle age wh*were almost resigned to a conditio® ofchronic mediocrity, w*d ibUhIVIyoungsters tumbled over one anothe* mtheir efforts to procure a Sehoaoataiy.Even so experienced and conservative aplayer as Mr John Ball shared thafever; he held ont againat it for Home

time, but, on the evening of the. aemi-final, I saw him walking off the eonraewith a brand-new specimen of thedemon putter tucked under his aim.

And yet Mr Travis himaelf aald thathe had only borrowed the clab ia aha«fdesperation on the eve of the cham-pionship. He had been pmttiag *®

badly that he felt compelled to maka achange of some sort.

In Britain, the Schenectady ferjrlast about a fortnight. And aoboaywas perturbed when finally the au-thorities barred the clnb.

Saturday, April 20, 1929.Two Civilisations.

' What are the essential's of true eiviiisa-j tion, and is the civilisation of Francej superior to that of Britain? These

; questions are raised by a corres-pond outI of the Spectator like many of his

! countrymen and many Colonials, lias' seen frequent references to France as

! " the leading civilised country in the! " world." He is " puzzled at this large["and well-established claim," and so,we believe, have been many other

; Britons, especially during the last few-years, when the two countries have beendrawn closer together. Of entire therehas always been a large lection ofBritish people—a large majority, wemight say—who ha\e never admittedthe French claim, or any other foreignclaim, to serious consideration. Theyhave the Podsnappian attitude—Francebelongs to the category of k * such other''countries as there may be"; foreign,and that is enough. But amongsteducated Britons there has always beendeep respect for French civilisation,and an honest recognition that in cer-tain directions, such as the close contactbetween art and letters and life, it issuperior to theirs. The letter in theSpectator invites us to consider whet Iterin the complete count it is reallysuperior.

j The correspondedr does not pretend, to consider the question exhaustively,but lie makes some pertinent remarks.He cites the French use of dogs usbeasts of burden; the "low status of"women"; the attitude towards pros-titution iind the white slave tralli'j; theopen sale of indecent publications; thepoor standard of sanitation; the atti-tude of juries towards crimes ofpassion; and the people's "notorious" and inescapable " hatred of foreign-ers. The Spectator's footnote to thisasks what really ar# proofs of civilisa-tion in a nation. "We have been con-" tent to accept the traditional view of"France as the great liberalising"element in the Continent of Europe."But France may have been, and may bestill, such an element; and yet notdeserve the supreme place in civilisa-tion that Frenchmen claim for her. Onall the points cited by the correspon-dent impressive evidence could bebrought. Socially and economically theposition of women in France may inimportant respects be superior to thatof women in England, but politicallyit 0 lower. Indeed it may be arguedthat the very marriage system in Eng-land, where the parties make their ownfree choice, is ethically superior to thatof France, where marriages are ar-ranged and a girl without a dower goeswithout a husband. The Englishman isreally more chivalrous than the French-man. In such a matter as standards ofpublic health the material civilisationof Britain is also superior. The Frenchpopulation has remained stationary,not only beeause the birth-rate is low,but because the death-rate is high.

Briefly, it may be said that in the artof living French civilisation is inadvance of ours. We see this in theappreciation of art, in the general highstandard of speaking and writing, inthe skill with which a French house-hold makes a little go a long way, inthe people's enjoyment of simplepleasures, in the quick intelligence ofthe average man and woman, and in therespect paid to ideas. It is seen in themore sensible use the French make ofalcoholic liquor. The " drink question "

has never been so pressing as inBritain, because the people in Francehave better taste and more self-control.But when it comes to justice, politics,and humane dealings, the British, webelieve, stand higher. British justiceis fairer and more even-handed; Britishpolitics are cleaner and more efficient; jthe British Press purer and moreIindependent; and less insular. Theseare very important constituents of truecivilisation. The Englishman is kinderto animals and his fellow-men; moregood-humoured; slower to anger andhatred; readier to forget and forgive.In what is roughly called " social" legislation " he is in advance of hisfriend across the Channel. The Eng-lishman values conduct more highlythan the Frenchman; the Frenchmangives much more weight to ideas thanthe Englishman. The historian of thefuture may of course say that a littlecountry like Denmark or Norway, setaside from the world's turmoil, unbur-dened with vast problems of Empireand a clamorous proletariat, peopled bya well-educated, industrious popula-tion, had evolved a higher type ofcivilisation than that of any of thenations classed as Great Powers.

Rights in "Peter Pan."Wo do not know of any precedent forSir James Barrie's gift of the copy-right of his play Peter Pan to aLondon hospital for children, but itis easy to imagine similar gifts thatwould have been or would be veryvaluable. The copyright of Lyt-ton's Lady of Lyons or Richelieuwould have kept the beneficiary inaffluence for many years, and a legateeof Brandon Thomas, the author ofCharley's Aunt, would still be able tolive comfortably on the royalties ofthat rich and royal farce. Sir JamesBasic's gift, however, has a specialinterest. Peter Pan is the greatest ofall plays for or about childr»i, andit is particularly fitting that its authorshould make over the rights in it tothe leading children's hospital inEngland. Peter Pan is earning two

! thousand a year, which presumably isapart from the royalties on the onlyrecently published book version of theplav. This gives some idea of whatSir James's income must be. hewas not at all confident about thecommercial success of Peter Pan. Itwas written to fulfil an agreement wiiithe great Ameriean producer. CharlesFrohman, but when he andmet in London Barrie was nervousabout his part in the contract. He hadfinished the play and Frohman could

have it, but he was doubtful about this"dream-child" of his. In the circum-stance* he suggested that. Frohman (

should produce another new play of

his to compensate him for his loss.The other new play was J.hce-sit-b>/-thc-Fire. I'et' r Pan was producedin London in December. 1904. and

! Ali'-e w:i- comparatively a failure, butI Pet- r Pan started on a career of which

| the end i, not in sight. The play| about the boy who never grew up has} been -ia-ed 'in London every wintersince then, and produced in the theatresof aimo-t every civilised country. A,tattie oi Peter stands in KensingtonGarden-, one of the most beautifulmonuments in unci the nameis known throughout the civilisedworld. Piter Pan is the quintessenceoi' Bnrne. that outstanding dealer infantasv, and it may be that when allhis other plays are forgotten—and hehas written many good ones—this fairystorv will -till be seen on the stage

or read in nuivries. Possibly cen-turies" hence it wdl rank as a classicbeside AUer in Wonderland.. RobimonCr» and tie- l'ii'l Piper. Long be-

fore then, of cnia-se, the children'shospital will have ceased to collectroyalties <n performances, but con-Mderim: that it will have proprietaryrights in the piny - I ' l' \eais sitterthe author's death, it will not be worry-ing much about the very distantfuture.

An Appeal.

We direr-1 at tention to an appeal,printed elsewhere en this page, for the

patients in the Coronation Hospital.It will surprise some of our readers toknow that there are sufferers there whohave hern confined to bed for two,

three, and even four years, some whohave not been out of hospital for six,seven, or eight years, and one patientat least who has been an inmate forthirteen years. It goes without saying:,also, that when men or women havebeen such a long time ill they cannot,except in very rare cases, continue to bein comfortable circumstances. Nor canthey, however attentive their relativesand friends may be, keep in touch withthe outside world when isolation is apart of their treatment. Althoughvisitors to the Coronation Hospital findthe patients cheerful, that is not be-cause their days do not drag, butbecause the sick learn ways of endur-ing which healthy people know nothingabout. We are sure it would be a greatcomfort to all our readers if they couldknow that no patient in that hospitalwill find the hours drag this winter.

A CLEAN SHIP.

REPORT FROM MAUIPOMARE.

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST SPREADOF INFLUENZA.

[THE PBESS Special Service.}

WELLINGTON, AprilAn assurance that all precautions

have been taken to prevent the Govern-ment motor-ship, Maui Pomare, whosecrew recently developed influenza m

Auckland, from carrying the infectionback to the Islands was given by thePrime Minister (Sir Joseph Ward) in

a statement issued to-day."Arising out of the recent departure

of the Government vessel, Maui i'o-I mare, from Auckland for Niue andSamoa," said Sir Joseph, "'fears havebeen expressed in certain quarters as

to the danger of carrying the influenzainfection to the Islands at which thevessel cads. I need hardly state thateverv precaution has been taken by theauthorities of the Health Departmentto obviate the slightest possibility ofanything of the kind occurring. Allmembers of the native crew who con-tracted influenza in Auckland were de-tained in that port and were not per-mitted to rejoiu the vessel before shesailed. All passengers and members ofthe crew were medically exam-ined in tho stream at Auck-land before the JMaui Pomare sail-'ed, and several passengers showing aslight rise in temperature pbove nor-mal were disembarked. Arrangementswere made for a medical officer of theHealth Department to accompany theship on the voyage, and instructionswore given to him to report daily onthe health of all on board. A dailyreport has been received since thevessel left Auckland, and no sign sus-picious of influenza has been reported.As a matter of fact the report receivedthis morning read as follows:—'Healthof all on board continues excellent sinceleaving.'

"I may further add that the Resi-dent Commissioner at Niue under dateApril 17th advises that there are anumber of cases of influenza amongstthe natives at Niue, but that thenative labour gang to work the shipthere has been placed in segregation andshould any sickness ari c e amongst themthe ship will proceed direct to Ssimoawithout pratique being granted atNiue.

"It will be seen therefore," said SirJoseph, "that the Government is keep-ing the closest watch in connexion withthis matter, and that there is not theslightest need at present for any un-easiness. Should, however, anythingunforeseen occur between now and the

arrival at Island ports, promptaction will be taken to further safe-guard any possibility of spreading theinfection in the Islands."

The practical value of shelter on adairy farm was strongly emphasised byan expert witness in the SupremeCourt at Auckland. "It means 20 percent, additional pasture if you haveadequate sheiter,"' he said. The wit-ness was explaining a statement he hadjust made that a practical farmerwould plnnt hedges all along the boun-daries of his paddocks.

During tho recent cold snap inGreat Britain, the extra gas used on'account of the frost more than equalledthe whole year's output of Christ-church. On one occasion, m one hour,from 12 noon to 1 p.m., the consump-tion increased by the demand for extraheating was so great that it would havecompletely emptied the big Gasometeron the South Belt in four and a halfminutes.

Mr W. G. Morrison, ot the StateForest Service, returned from Hanmeryesterday. During his absence fromChristchurch he visited the plantationsat Balmoral and arranged for thewinter planting operations. Last Tues-day a farmers' day was held at Bal-moral and the farmers of the Culrerdendistrict were shown over the reservesand given advice about tree planting. !which was much appreciated.

Although a greater number of motor-ists applied for re-registration of theirvehicles yesterday than has been thecase since the work was commenced bythe Post Office on Monday, the numberso doing is far from satisfactory if con-gestion is to be avoided in the last twoweeks of next month. Up to 4 p.m. yes-terday 180 vehicles had been registered,of which approximately 60 were putthrough yesterday morning and after-noon.

''Until the results of a scientific in-vestigation of the pukeko are known, Iwill not declare an open season," stateda telegram received from the Ministerfor Internal Affairs at the last meetingof the Auckland Acclimatisation So-ciety. The telegram stated, however,that anyone whose property was beingdamaged by the birds could make appli-cation for permission to destroy them.Members of the society declared thatthey were not at all satisfied with theMinister's reply, and would bring thematter up again next season.

The executive of the ChristchurchDairymen's Association decided at ameeting last night to extend to theMayor (Mr J. K. Archer), thedeputy-Mayor (Mr D. G. Sullivan, M.P.),and the Town Clerk (Mr J. S. Neville),also to the four Wellington dairy repre-sentatives who are to speak on the milkquestion at a meeting at the ChoralHall on Tuesday night an invitationto visit a number of dairy farm 3 inthe vicinity of Christchurch. It wasdecided that if the invitation were ac-cepted the Association would find thenecessary cars. It was proposed that thevisit of inspection should be made onTuesday afternoon.

Trials of the first Garratt locomotiveto be put on the rail have been person-ally carried out in the Ohakune dis-trict by the Chief Mechanical Engineer(Mr G. S. Lynde), says the "RailwaysMagazine." The latest report showsthat a load of 4&4 tons was carried bygoods train from Taumarunui to Tai-liape. The Owhango bank was nego-tiated in 2-2 minutes (six miles of pnein fifty grade). The Raurimu spiralwas ascended in 27 minutes—(sevenmiles of one in fifty). 'Hie weatherconditions were the worst possible, alight drizzling rain falling throughoutthe iournev. Despite the greasy rail,no slipping occurred, and the times putup easily eclipse ordinary goods traffictimes. It is interesting to note thatthe ''X" locomotive (the largest goodsengine 1) has a schedule lond of 300 tonsover the steenest part of this section.

Children should learn early that allthings are not what they seem was theview put forward by Mr G. T. Londonat the meeting of the WellingtonEducation Board this week in support-ing an application by a conjuror to beallowed to give entertainments inschools, out of school hours. Heclaimed that it was well that the chil-dren should learn that there were suchthings as chicanery and legerdemainin the world, as by doing so they wouldbe less likely to be beguiled in afterlife. They heard, for instance, state-ments by public men that wonderfulimprovements were going to be carriedout without the rates being increasedone penny. This, to his mind, savouredof legerdemain, and it was just as wellthat children should learn to enquireinto the truth of things for them-selves.

FIRST MOOSEHEAD.

TAKEN AT DUSKY SOUND.

HASTINGS SPORTSMAN'S LUCK.

(PSESS ASSOCIATION TXLE-JEAM.j

INVERCARGILL, April 19.i A sporting achievement of wide-

[ spread interest is that of Mr E. J.| Herrick, of Hastings, -who to-day re-turned to Invercargill from DuskySound with a moose head, the first eversecured in New Zealand.

Five weeks ago Mr Herrick and hisparty left in a ketch for Dusky Sound.On two previous occasions Mr Herrickhad set out in quest of moose, and hadreturned without success. This time hewas determined that he would get ahead if it were possible, no matter howlong it took him, or what difficulties hemet.

It is stated that the only moose herdin the Southern Hemisphere is in thebush and mountain country around.Dusk Sound. Last year Mr Herricksent out two expert guides from theHawea Country to prospect for a moose,and they gave a favourable report. Thisyear Mr Herrick obtained permissionto go into the country with the objectof giving an authoritative report. Hewas conceded the right of taking aheed should he see one of sufficientlygood quality. The head which Mr Her-rick secured has been brought back toInvercargill and will be cleaned andmounted.

CORONATIONHOSPITAL.

AN APPEAL TO OURREADERS.

There arc between sixty and seventy-patients in the Coronation Hospital,many of whom are never out of bed.In a few months there will be a hun-dred patients, all condemned to a long,and some to a very long, period of iso-lation from the outside world. Andof course winter is approaching withits cold days and dreary evenings tomake this isolation more trying.

We have decided therefore to askour readers to help us equip the Coro-nation Hospital with wireless. It wouldbe necessary, since loud speakers couldnot be used, to provide each patientwith head-phones, which, with a suffi-ciently powerful central machine, willcost about £2OO. The Government, how-ever, will provide half that amount ifour readers provide the other half, sothat our appeal is for £IOO in largeor small subscriptions. Tt is hardlynecessary to add that the gift will betwice as welcome if it can be madepromptly.

All subscriptions sent to us will beacknowledged on this page. We havereceived already:

VALUATION LIST VOID.

NOT COMPILED IN ACCORD-ANCE WITH ACT.

(press association telegram.)

WANGANUI, April 19.

At the Assessment Court to-day, MrJ. H. Salmon, S.M., presiding, pre-liminary points were raised that theCity Valuer had not made his valuesin accordance with the Act, and incompiling the valuations had ignoredthe rental values It was admittedthat the column setting out the par-ticulars of rents had not been filled min the valuation roll.

The Magistrate held that it wasclear the valuer had proceeded or. the.wrong basis, namely, 5 per cent, of thefee simple, and the list was not pre-pared according to the Act. In notone instance had the particulars beenfilled in in the special column, there-fore, he rilled it was not a valuationlist according to the requirements ofthe Act, and it would be necessary forthe Court to appoint a valuer to makesuch a list.

DENTAL SERVICE.

CLINICS TOO POPULAR.

[THE PRESS Special Service.]

AUCKLAND, April 19."The school dental service is proving

so popular that we have 250 applica-tions from all parts of New Zealandfor clinics," the Minister for Health,the Hon. Mr Stallworthy, said, whena deputation,from the Whitford schoolCommittee asked for a clinic in thacdistrict. ,

"We cannot accede to all the re-auests, because we have not got thestaff for clinics," the Minister ccm-

tinued. "The system has been de-veloped slowly but sanely. In the firstvenr, 20 nurses were trained, and mthe succeeding two years another 10.Last year we had 40 in training. Ihave asked the Cabinet to extend theservice, and to provide more nurses,hut the matter has not yet been set-tled. It looks as if the service willdevelop into one of the largest De-partments of State before it is fin-

i&l"Where the health of the people isconcerned, the cost should not be con-sidered," a member of the deputationinterjected.

: "That is what every Departmentsays with regard to its work, and theacceptance of that idea would involvethe countrv in an expenditure up to£100,000.000," the Minister replied."We are limited by what is possible,but there is no limit to our desire todo everything we can for the chil-dren."

RECENT QUAKE.! Mr h. f. skey -s observa-| TIONS.I

I CITY'S FAVOURABLE POSITION".| ,

! A few remarks concerning in\e>tig.»! tions of the recently active earthquakeorigin in the Southern Alps were madeto a representatives of The Press b>Mr H. F. Skev, Director of the Chnst-

i church Magnetic Observatory, who, with! his assistant, Mr H. F. Baird, has been' working on this question.| Mr Skev said that information hadbeen received from over a wide area

| by the willing co-operation of settlers,

1 postmasters, qnd others, and when allthe obtainable information was receiv-

- ed, he would finallv submit a complete'report to his Head Office, Lands and

j Survey Department, Wellington, whojwould probablv publish it in their -K<-j cords. " The

"

complete report would!of course, be Departmental property ,. however, in the meantime it was pos-sible, from investigations carried out;so far, tu make a lew general remarks

. bearing upon the disturbance.I "The most outstanding features ot: the earthquake experienced on the nignt

;of March* oth last," said Mr bkey,!'' were its exceptionally long durationland the fact that the undulations were

| more even than violent. It was by no! means a really severe earthquake.I "Observations suggest that the dis-

turbances near this origin were slight-!ly less severe than those near t e

■ origin of the one on Christmas Day,[1922. However, the movements of ie

j recent earthquake were _ felt furtherafield owing possibly to its exceptiona_duration. The personal imprejsions

' made on one by many of the a tershocks felt at Arthur's Pass were sue-as experienced by one when a near- jheavy object thumps suddenly on to t e

ground. This particular effect is con-sidered* to be peculiar to the part near

the origin of an earthquake.Extensive Origin Suspected.

"It may be fair to suspect from theextent of country over which consider-able rock falls and some other types otdamage occurred, that movement de-veloped along a rather long fault linein a kind of continued series of 'quakes.The magnets of the Observatory mag-netographs are very strongly damped,but thev were disturbed for fully 1-m.inutes* by the main 'quake. The dis-tance from the origin v,-as not verygreat and the movement was not \er\

jerky, so perhaps the origin may havebeen somewhat extensive. Many peoplefelt that the earth was more or less"swimming" for a considerable time.This effect is due to a real quiveringproduced bv the earthquake waves,which, thougli like sound waves in somerespects, do not affect one's ears, butare sensible to other parts of the body.Some people do not hear the low soundnotes emitted near the origin of anearthquake at all, while others describethem variously. The reason for this isalmost certainly physiological, especial-ly as the notes are in the neighbour-hood of the lower limit of audibilityusual for the human ear.

Rock Falls, etc."Slips in the Arthur's Pass region

were secondary effects of the 'quakeas the slope of the mountains, theirgreat height, and the loose fractured

| nature of the weathered surface, madethis country exceedingly liable to slipswhen any shake occurred. It shouldbe borne in mind that Arthur's Passtownship is situated in such a part asto reduce this danger to a minimum.

"The majority of the fissures at Ar-thur's Pass were on made up groundnear lower lying levels and excavations,to which affected parts sloped steeply.Few fissures were seen anywhere butwhat could be explained by the alluviumand such like having shaken towardslower parts. In the valley were "hill-foot" "fissures, caused by the thrust ofthe hill spurs; these may have aggra-vated the movement in places, but suchminor bulgings of railway lines as didoccur, were obviously mainly due to thesettlement of made-up embankments.

A Case for Geodetic Investigation."The fact that neither faulting nor

surface warping was definitely percept-ible in the parts most disturbed by theearthquake—though warping was sus-pected—makes it difficult to gauge thedepth of the origin. However, if dualtrignometric surveys had been carriedout, one prior to, and the other subse-quent to, the shock, it is probable thata fracture at some considerable depthwould have been revealed by the deduc-tions from the geodetic work involved.Correlation of results of this naturewith records from field seismographswould give much definite information.Exact trignometric surveys should alsobe accompanied by the institution ofsets of bench marks on either side ofknown faults. Some day it may be pos-sible to do this kind of work at suchplaces as Arthur's Pass.

Effects on Different Ground. Formations.

"Investigations showed up the nowwell-known fact that buildings -unlessof a too rigid construction built onhard ground suffered less than did thospbuilt on softer formations. Buildingsconstructed on made up ground suffer-ed as usual worst of all. One concretebuilding which had been extended wasslightly damaged in the new part whichdiffered from the older part by nothaving such liberal reinforcement. Prac-tically all reinforced concrete work re-mained unharmed in any way.

Tunnel Comparatively Safe Place.

"Frequently a shock which is quitestrong at the surface is hardly felt atsome depth below. This fact explainswhy such places as mines, tunnels,canals (such as Panama), and railwaycuttings are seldom injured by earth-quake action. A classical example ofthis occurred in the Biviera earthquakeof 1887, when all the tunnels in theNice to Genoa railway were undamagedthough they lav in the region of great-est intensity.

Christchurch Favourably Located."It is comforting to tjjat

Christchurch is so far afield f * m activefault lines. San Francisco was only be-tween one and a half and nine mi es

from the fault along which movementoccurred with such devastating resultsto that city years ago. Even then themovement there was greater than anywhich has been experienced in tnese

parts during recent times."

TRAVIS TRUST.tuberculosis and

CANCER.

expenditure in research.

'•Ill supplying radium ar-.d radiumneedles to the Christchurcb Hospital,the trustees of the W. H. TravisTrust estate feel that it is as far as

i they can go for the time being in as-sisting research work into the causes,cure. and eradication of cancer,''stated Mr O. \ . Bergh, one of thetrustees, in the course of an interviewby a representative of The Prks> yes-terday. "After conferring with medi-cal men at the Christchurch Hospir.i,and from opinions gathered frommedical and surgical exports, we are ofthe opinion that the radium treat-ment, although not much past its in-fancy. at the present time, is undoubt-edly the best method of arresting anderadicating the dread disease, and al-leviating the sufferings of its victims."

In such capable hands as those o!Dr. P. C. Fenwick. and the medicalstaff of the Christchurch Hospital, whowatch every stage of the attack lyradium on cancer, the radium treat-ment, with the appliances and equip-ment that the staff have at their dis-posal, became research into the eradi-cation of the disease. It was also ameans of alleviating the sufferings ofthe unfortunate victims. Regardinggeneral research, the large amount ofmoney required to establish a labora-tory and equip it. was beyond the pre-sent scope of the trust funds, even ifthe researcher was ft be found ih NewZealand. There appeared to be nolaboratorv in New Zealand equipped tocarry out- general research into the dis-ease. and it must be borne in mind, saidMr Bergh. that the interest accruingfrom the Travis Estate must be spentin the Dominion, and nil researchwork fostered by it carried out in thiscountry.

"Some people think that there hasbeen undue delay in administering thetrust funds," said Mr Bergh. -'but itmust be remembered that there haveKeen many and varied methods oftreatment of the disease, most of .vhichhave been reject-ed after a short period.The radium treatment, however, s,tillsurvives, and is being more and moreextensively used. We learn that pro-minent surgeons are now laying asidethe knife in preference to J-adium.These facts and the various methodsof treating the disease, have been en-gaging tlie close attention of thetrustees since the death of the lateMr Travis, and it is only after severalconsultations with medical experts thatthey have l>een able to come to a de-finite decision. The Travis bequest isa public bequest for the benefit of suf-fering humanity in New Zealand forall time, and it is." and I hope, alwayswill be, the endeavour of the trusteesto spend the trust funds where the ul-timate result will be to give the great-est amount of relief to the greatestnumber of sufferers."

T.B. Research Favoured.The trustees, Mr Bergh stated, had

found, after several conferences withthe sanatorium authorities, that theycan assist greatly the cause of con-sumption research and prevention.When one saw the large amount ofyoung life under treatment for thisdisease in New Zealand sanatoria, andtook heed of the advance made toj combat tuberculosis, it gave the trus-

i tees confidence in spending perhapsJ the major portion of the trust's in-come. for the time being, in further-ing the campaign against tuberculosis.It seemed to lie an established factthat the cause of consumption hadbeen discovered, and in some quartersit was believed that the discoveiy of acure is near at hand. Research intotuberculosis, said Mr Bergh, seemedwell within the capability of thetrust to tackle. The material wasall here in the Dominion, and itwould not be as hard to find a com-petent researcher in this disease asit would in cancer. The trust hopedto be able to assist in the researchwork into the cure of tuberculosis,and thereby help combat one of thegreatest scourges among the youth ofto-day.

After a further conference withjeading medical men at an early dateon the question of tuberculosis re-search. the trustees expected to form adefinite opinion as to how the trustmoney should be expended in thefight against consumption. In themeantime, however; the trustees haddefinitely decided to assist the Christ-church Public Hospital to procure ad-ditional supplies of radium needles tobe used in arresting the cancer disease.

THE POLITICALFRAY.

j MR BALDWIN'S SPEECH,

j programme outlined.

I «A POLICY OF SOBRIETY."

(CSITFD PRESS ASSOCIATION' BY ELECTKICTELEGRAPH—COPYRIG^TO

LONDON, April 18.\fr Baldwin, in addressing 2000 Con-

servative leaders and organisers atDrurv lane Theatre, outlined his elec-toral" programme and the entire Cabinetplatform.

Mr Baldwin aroused general laughter

bv beginning: "Mr Lloyd George hassaid that the Liberal Party is a Partyof promises. I accept that. I am nocompetitor. We are performers."

lie went on to emphasise the serious-ness of the industrial situation. TheGeneral Strike had proved a crisis, butsince IC-6 masters and men liad beengetting together. The Conservatives'efforts had been directed at getting themen permanent employment.

Tlie Government decided definitelyagainst a scheme which would lead tolargo borrowings, believing that theyran the risk of causing inflation of themarket which would make the cost ofliving rise. The Government was try-ing bv arrangement with the DotinionGovernments "to make it easier for menand women to go to the Dominions andoverseas Colonies. (Cheers.) It wasnow possible for practically all boys indepressed areas, if their parents werewilling, to be transferred to districtswhere" there was employment. TheGovernment was appointing a Commis-sion to advise on the development ofcolonial territories.

Returning to the problem Q f unem-ployment, Mr Baldwin pointed out thatreorganisation was going on in all in-dustries. As a result Britain was re-covering her competitive power. Asprogress was maintained unemploy-ment would continue to fall. A factorwhich would be of great assistance inthe next live years would be that owingto tho falling birth-rate during the warthero would be several hundred thou-sand fewer entrants into industry thanwas customary.

He continued: "This country has farto go in the direction of being human-ised." 110 repeated his pledge not tointroduce protection and not to imposeany taxes on food, and outlined furtherslum-clearing and educational reforms.

"Ours is a policy of sobriety," hesaid. "We promise nothing we cannotperform."—Australian Press Associa-tion, United Service.

DOMINIONS VOTE.

LABOUR AND MIGRATION.

} LONDON, April 18.In the House of Commons, speaking

on the Dominions Office vote, Mr J. H.Thomas said that it had been declaredthat if Labour were returned to officethe disintegration of the Empire wasinevitable.

A Conservative' member; What aboutlast night?

Mr Thomas said that there would beno running away from that. The timehad long passed when tlie Union Jackcould be considered the prerogative ofany particular Party. The suggestionof "disintegration could best be answeredby the record of Labour while in office,aiid also by examining what were itsintentions when returned to power inJune. He quoted the settlement of theIrish Free State difficulty, how Im-perial unity had been dealt with, andalso the Indian problem in South Africa.

Labour had been misrepresented onmigration. He did not suggest migra-tion as a solution of unemployment,but it was undeniable that it could bemade an effective contribution to theproblem. We must face the real diffi-culties of the position. Australia andNew Zealand must be asked_ to applythemselves to the problem as it affectedthem Labour's main object, if re-turned, would not be the disintegrationof the'Empire, but the consolidation ofprogress, the heritage of which wewere all proud. He moved that the

vote should be reduced by£IOO.

AN EMPIRE POLICY.

MR AMERY'S VIEWS.

(Received April 19th, 5.5 p.m.)

LONDON, April 18.

Mr Amerv agreed that an overwhelm-

ing majority of the members of all Par-

ties regarded the 12mpirc as a great

problem, a responsibility, and an oppor-tunity for free co-operation and wisetrusteeship. Labour had not always

helped in the direction of the continuityof an Empire policy. The Imperial Eco-

nomic Conference in 19-3 made an

agreement with the Dominions which itbelieved did not materially depart fromBritain's fiscal policy, but Mr bnowdendiffered from it in 1934, causing discon-tinuity which was resented in manyparts of the Empire. _ r -

Similarly, the Imperial Conference,after the fullest consideration, decidedthat the Singapore base was necessaryfor Imperial naval continuation, butthe Labour Government did not carryout the continuity policy. Mr Mae-Donald's suggestion that the ImperialConference should include representa-tives of the Oppositions as well as ofGovernments, was impossible owing toall tie Dominion Governments disap-Pr

\lr \nierv agreed that whenever pos-sible "non-Partv elements should bebrought in. The very fact that unityof Empire under the Crown was freeand unfettered made it more imperativethat there should be inter-communica-tion and frequent personal consultation.The Government developed daily com-munications, keeping the Dominions intouch with every aspect of foreign af-fairs. More important still, it kept inclose personal touch with the High Com-missioners on big issues.

While the experiment of Dominions'representatives at foreign capitals wasregarded by many as a doubtful one, itwas proving of great value regardingmigration.

Migration.He said that since the Empire Settle-

ment Act 390,000 migrants had goneto the Dominions, and the majority hadmade good. During the past fouryears 215,000 had been assisted to theDominions and 170,000 had gone unas-sisted.

One of the first things the new Gov-ernment would have to do would be tosee if the Empire Settlement Act need-ed amendment, and that the machineryof the Overseas Settlement Committeewould-be improved.

Empire Products.Britain's purchases of Empiio pro-

ducts had increased by H F'er CCIlj

since the war. Mr Snowden seemedto be Labour's rogue clrpbant on thesubject of Empire as well as other sub-jects. In the course of a recent arti.eiein the Press entitled '"Empire BleedingBritain," Mr Snowden had poured c0'1"

tempt on Empire trade, described theEmpire Marketing Board as an unneces-sary waste, and Imperial preference as

sheer humbug. Mr Snowden had saidthat the British manufacturer was beingexcluded from the Dominion marketswhile the British taxpayer was payingexpensively to advertise Dominion pro-duets.

Mr Snowden had pone on to com-plain that Australia had boughtk 56,500,000 worth or goods from for-eign countries and £63.000,000 worthfrom Britain. Mr Amery emphasisedthat no foreign country took anythinglike such a large proportion of Britishgoods.

Mr Thomas said that he had not seenthe article, but Mr Snowden, who wasabsent, should not be judged on a fewdisjointed extracts.

"I have no doubt Mr Snowden hadno intention of repudiating the Empire

(Laughter)—but was putting his ownconstruction on a very difficult prob-lem."

Sir Archibald Sinclair said: Themigration of the flower of our manhoodwas disastrous. Britain should con-serve racial capital by encouraging land

settlement here.The Dominions vote was carried with-

out division.—Austxalian Press Associa-tion.

TRADE IMPROVING.

CONQUERING UNEMPLOYMENT.

(BRITISH OFFICIAL WIRELESS. 1)RUGBY, April IS.

The Prime Minister, in the course ofhis speech outlining the ConservativeParty's General Election policy, said:"While others are searching for policiesto meet an emergency which is notlikely to arise, we on our part havebeen immersed in a great struggle foryears, and by a continuance of thepolicy in which we are engaged we shallcontinue the process that is now goingon, that of conquering unemployment.

"We are recovering from the worldour competitive power. Our trade isdefinitely improving, and, provided thatno cataclysm of any kind in the way ofa sudden reversal or alteration of theindustrial policy in this country occurs,that progress will be maintained andimprovement will continue to follow.So solid are the foundations on whichBritish industry now rests that 500,000of the surplus of unemployed have al-ready been absorbed in industry, andI have every hope, given the conditionsI have just mentioned, that the figureswill shrink in time to normality."

What industry wanted to-day morethan anything else were settled andstable conditions. Derating had re-moved from overhead charges on in-dustry between £20,000,000 and£30,000,000. 'lt had given the greatestassistance that had ever been given toindustry -in Britain. The Govern-ment were satisfied also that the safe-guarding of industries was a most valu-able adjunct to producing permanentemployment.

Charges on Agriculture.Turning to the question of agriculture

and the. means of helping it in itspresent condition, he said that protec-tion was ruled out. A subsidy wouldbe of no use unless it could be guaran-teed that it would continue for an in-definite term of years, and no one couldgive that guarantee. The Government,therefore, had gone straight ahead totry to reduce overhead charges onagriculture.

The Prime Minister announced thatthe Government had decided that dur-ing six months of the year, from Octo-ber to March, which was always ananxious time for the stock-keeper, beeffor the British Army, Air Force, andNavy, when in Home ports, shall all beHome killed. It was also promised as anexperiment that at least 25 per cent, ofthe flour held in bond for defence ser-vices should be flour milled from Homewheat for six months after the harvest.

No work done by the Governmentwould stand the scrutiny of the countrymore than that done by the Ministry ofHealth in housing. He believed suchprogress had now been made in thebuilding of houses • that the time hadcome to go forward farther and fasterin the direction of clearing slums andreconditioning them. That would be atask to which the Conservatives, if re-

turned to power, would devote the wholeof their strength and mind.

Proposals were under considerationto extend maternity benefits under theNational Health Insurance. One of thefirst acts of the Government when theycame back would be to form a strongcommittee to enquire into the wholesubject of child welfare.

THE DEBTS ISSUE.

MR SNOWDEN CONFIDENT.

LONDON, April 18.The House of Commons "Debt Re-

pudiation" debate was temporarily rele-gated to the background by Mr Bald-win's policy speech, but neverthelessthere is every indication that it "ff" lreflare as a prominent election issue,

more especially in view of the fact t a

Mr Baldwin's programme does not con-tain any outstanding issue likely tofocus the attention of the country.

Labour certainly intends to capitalisethe debts issue.

Mr Snowden, m a lobby interviewsaid that throughout the campaign he

would continue to criticise the BalfourNote. He had received a large num-ber of letters, including some from Con-servatives, approving of his policy. Hewas convinced that the kovernmhad made Labour the gift of an excel-lent election card

It is apparei# that the debts question will be a vital appeal Manyarerightlv or wrongly under the linpres

sion that much of the country's depres-sion is due directly to that >ctor.With one or two exceptions Mr Bald-win's programme finds an unresponsiveecho in the Press, though that isscarcely accepted as a reliable guide.It is interesting to note the rca ctioon the Stock Exchange indicator be-fore and after Mr Baldwin s speech Inanticipation of the speechtives advanced three points and labourfell four points. After the speech Con-servatives relapsed three and Labourrained two. Mr Baldwin, m the courseof his palicv speech, forecasted a returnof the Conservatives with a majority

BAY OF WHALES. April IS-I lie sun disappeared from over our

camp yesterday. It crawledalong the horizon formed bythe barrier to the north—around ball ot dull tire, as if seenthrough a thin haze —and slid slowlyout of sight. To-day the upper partof it might have appeared again, butthere were clouds in the northern sky,and only a red spot crept westward. Itgrew fainter as it went away, leavinga chill sunset. It may be visible for aday or two uiore from the barrier topor the bay ice, but it will be nestAugust before it shines again on ourlittle hollow. It has left a long twi-light of eerie grey light which almostimperceptibly fades into night, and thislight will be with us in the middle ofthe day for some time. It is curiousthat our sunset is in the north nowand that in the south where the goldenrays used to light the rolling barriersurface is the grim black line of ap-proaching night.

With the going of the sun, the coldhas increased, and last night it wasagain 40 below zero. It was a calm,clear night, with the Aurora blazingoverhead, its magnificence and mysteri-ous glow palpitating as if alive, send-ing its shivering curtains and stream-ers across the sky. This is an occur-rence almost every night, and a night-watchman has been appointed to watchits volume, direction, and character.

The Aurora has probably been re-sponsible for some radio vagaries whichoccurred recently. Larry Gould, forinstance, wished to communicate withthe University of Michigan, but foundit was easier to reach Michiganthrough the University's short-wavestation at Mount Evans, Greenland,than direct. It is hoped that it willbe possible during the periods of dark-ness at Mount Evans and LittleAmerica to compare Auroral phe-nomena by radio, and learn somethingnew about it. For instance, it hasnever yet been possible to knowwhether it occurred simultaneously atboth Poles.

(Received April 19th, 7 p.m.)

LONDON, April 19. !The "Daily Express," which has

been long insistent that unemploymentis the paramount issue, says that thereferences to the responsibilities of theEmpire and the need for consistent de-velopment are excellent, but the refer-ences to unemployment are casual andsuperficial, which shows that politic-ians have not genuinely applied theirminds to the subject, and seem un-conscious that this is the supreme issuenot only at the election, but to oursocial and industrial state.

McNary, chairman of theSenate Agricultural Committee. Sena-tor McNary revealed that, while -Psident Hoover had been silent on theplan, and the House had ignored it,his committee was prepared to adoptit in their administrations of theGeneral Co-operative Marketing Bill.

The remainder of the Bill asduced varies but little from the Billbrought up for consideration in theHouse to-day, the chief difference beingthat it would authorise a Federal FarmBoard of twelve members, while theHouse would provide a board of six

members. It follows the recommenda-tions of the President's message inauthorising a board to administer a re-volring fund of 500,000,000 dollars. Theboard would lend the necessary sumsto co-operative marketing organisationsand stabilisation corporations.—Austra-lian Press Association.

FIVE-DAY WEEK.

CARPENTERS* PROPOSAL

SOME LOCAL OPINIONS.

The proposal that a five day w*«*k of44 hoars should b« awarded to c*rpra-

ters and joiners made by Mr E. C, Set-cliffe at the recent anniversary banquetof the Christehurch branch of tAmalgamated Society of Carpenters andJoiners did not meet with any support

when brought under the notice of rep-resentatives of the building and plumb*ing trades by a Press rfj**rt«r yra-terdr.v.

"We have considered this quest ionin the past and will no doubt bo pre-pared to do so again, provided that th«various unions concerned come to anagreement on it themselves before theyapproach us," said Mr W. H. \Vin*or,secretary of the CariMehurch Builders*Association, speaking MrWinsor v.'ent on to state that buildersowed a duty to their employers as wellas to their employees, and if a *4-hoarweek were worked by some workers andlonger hours by others it would lead toconfusion. It was usual for a carpenterto act as foreman ou certain buildingjobs, and if he were to work for m"shorter period than the other worker*it would mean that when he erasedwork 3he jjoL> would be without super-vision. There was another aspect to b«considered, and this was that, no on#liked to go back to longer houra. H«was afraid, knowing human nature ashe did, that not a great deal of workwould be done in the extra half-hourit was proposed to work in order togive the employees a free day okSaturday.

The master plumbers' point of viewwas put by Mr C. W. Obom, presidentof the New Zealand Federation of theMaster Plumbers' Association and ofthe Christchurch Association, whostated that such a proposal would notsuit the plumbing trade owing to tb«nature of its work. It was nMdarrto work long hours for the reason thaturgent calls were often received t»effect sanitation repairs in hotel*. ItSaturdays were regarded as a holidayit would cause a tremendous amount ofinconvenience. There were some men,he added, who did not work lone enoughat present, with tlie result that theywere able to do private plumbing workin their spare time, and extra tijnawould only enable them to do more inthis direction.

Another plumber stated thaj any ex-tension of spare time would plajr intothe hands of unscrupulous men, who, i*order to be able to carry out & sanita-tion job at a lower rate than their em*ployers, would rob them of such mats-rial that they could conveniently walkawav with undetected. He added thi%he had had occasion some time ago tadischarge one of his employees for com-mitting a similar offence.

Another matter he hail jfiven thought to was thejioor salaries which were paid to thelium-i. These, in his ooinion, weredeplorable, and mliduM he raised.

Mr I'. (J.

Mr V. W. freeman, a candidate forthe Lyttclton Harbour Board, said thatthe Board's district, wan a large one,extending at it did from the Anhburtouriver to the Conway. The coast linowit 350 miles in length, and the popu-lation was 175,000, of which II'::,000lived in Ohriatehureh and suburbs,•which meant that M,OOO lived in theurban and suburban districts. Therewere twelve member* on the Harbour

Board, of which only four representedthe City area, who»e population wasabout. 80,500. To his mind, the Cityshould have a representation of six.Mr Freeman went on to uweuss theprotent poidtinu of Lyttclton Harbour,claiming that it was out of date inmany respects. He stood, however,for a body of opinion that believedLyttelton was a safe port In allw«»thtrs, but needed to he modernised,lie wanted to see Sir Joseph Ward'spromise that direct access would bo

The Whiting family,it was revealed, were baring their teawhen the wall of water struck theirhouse nnd curried it and the occupantsaway. This family has completely dis-appeared. and its terrible last momentscan only be imagined. The wall ofwater that had Miejh a devastating ef-lect was estimated to be almost 100feet hi;j,h. Hout*es 70 or £0 feet abovethe level of lite river, built at thatheight to be away from flood dangers,were washed from their foundations,and their occupants lost everythingthey poswssed. The buildings of thoBriseis Tin and General Mining Com-pany were swept away, and as theseincluded the power-house Derby wasplunged into darkness, and this addedto the terrors of the night.

The dam was situnted at the cas-cades about three miles from the town-ship of Derby, and burst about 4.30 inthe afternoon. The dam was about amile long, and iho water behind it wasabout 70 feet deep in places, so thatthe tremendous force and volume ofwater that was released can be imag-ined. lluthing with the power of ag£t'ut a v'alani'Le, the flood swepteverything before it, uprooting treesand leaving a scene of the wildest de-solation.

I not lon a before the water dropped ma foaming fall a distance of 100 reetto where tb"y had beet) working.

Following on the bursting of the damand the heavy rain La»iiieeston ex-perienced the most devastating flood inits history. Thousands of people in the

I suburb of 1 uremia v had to leave theirhomes, and a report from hauncentonlast Monday -aid that it was estimatedthat in Tasmania JOOO people were

a? f result of the floods.There were many narrow escapes fri'l ;ldrowning in Lannceslon as theriver suddenly burst its banks, andeven though the town had been warncdor the impending danger it was impos-sible to .save the contents of many ofthe houses, which are now ruined. Thecitizens experienced a night of terroras (hev learned that the floods wererapidly approaching their homes. Toadd to the terrors torrential rain fellall through the night, and the city

j was in total darkness, the electric lightI having failed. Motor-cars ieturned

from the flooded areas to previously-prepared base stations with the refugeesin all sorts of clothing. Fire brigade-men and many volunteers made house-to-house visits) in Invermay to warn theinhabitants. Many refused to believethat there was any real danger, and

they only edded to the coiifrsion byremaining' in their homes untilthey were actually entered bv thefloods. Then they narrowly escapeddrowning, and added to the difficultiesof the resell*? parties.

| As the daylight came the torrents ofwater in the streets of Launcestoii in-

! creased, and many of the streets be-come completely inundated All roadsout of the city became impassable,

The Albert Hall andmany of tlie schools were quicklyturned into temporary homes for thorefugees, and inaiij willing workersfound clothes for those iainilie.-; whohad been able to escape only in theirnight attire It is considered remark-able in the circumstances that the lossof life was not greater. There weremuny pathetic scenes along the bank ofthe river at Invermay. Alen tried towad© the flooded streets in an endea-vour to reach their homes, and somehod to be bodily removed. Manymothers, with babies in their arms

were rescued clad in tlieir mightattire. Despicable thieves were soonat work and because of their activitiesfifty special constables were enrolled,anu they engaged in patroi work, aswell as assisting in the relief measures.The Flax and Canvas Company of Tas-mania. recently established had itsfactory flooded out and tolls of flaxwere ru.tie i. Country farmers sufferedirreparable losses, and in the Claren-don district alone live farmers loststock valued at £7COO.

The East Coast Developing C'otn-pnny's entire works from Coles B:iv toDa'ninyne were eliminated by the floodvvaioi-s, I his was especially unfortau-

The disruption of the coaltrad® of the mainland had been a god-send to the company, which was ac-tively filling orders for coal at 2"s aton, but when the flood waters broke inupon it everything was washed awayexcept the harbour works. The com-pany's loss was estimated at iMO.OOO,and it is hot)ed that the Federal Gov-ernment will come to its assistance.So far the Prime Minister (Mr Bruce)Ims not shown any great interest inTasmanin'tt tragic experience Ills in-action con erning the missing SouthernCross has shown that Mr Bruce is aoiexceedingly hard man to move at anytime.

VULNERABLE SPOT.—.—»

AUSTRALIA'S NORTH-WEST.

(raoM of* OMX cona^sFOKCESTT.)

SYDXEY, April 11.The great north-west of Australia,

where the search for the SouthernCross has been proceeding so vigorously,is regarded by many as the continent'smost vulnerable spot. Sir James Con-nolly, formerly Agent-General for

[ Western Australia in London, gays thatJ the difficulties of the search showed

I the folly of the i-olicy pursued in thedevelopment of that, vast area.

Sir James said that when he wasin London he wrote to "Tlie Times"advueating the establishment of a navalbase near Napier Broome Bay inpreference to Singapore. He mentionedthat Lord Kitchener, a few years be-fore the war. during a visit to Aus-tralia, said that Kiiiiberli/v was thevulnerable spot in Australia, and shouldbe guarded and peopled. After thepublication of the letter, said SirJames, he received a report from thelate Admiral Sir Percy Scott, in whichthe Admiral said: "The British Govern-mei.t arc damned fools. My only hopeis that your Government are not foolsaltogether."'

Declaring that population teas thesurest, safest and cheapest defence, SirPercy took a section round thp coastfrom Wyndham to Broome, and advo-cated the establishment at 200 milesintervals, of aeroplane and submarinebases, beginning near the DrysdaleMission Station, with another at PortGeorge IV. Mission. This, he said,would not only establish militarycentres, but populate the country. Theapproach of an enemy would be knownfour days before its arrival, and itwould be impossible for an enemy toland. Sir James said that with SirPercv Scott-'* permission he sent there'iort to the Commonwealth Govern-ment in Melbourne, where it was

doubtless pigeon-holed.That section of the north-west was

the vulnerable spot all right, said SirJames, and it should be opened up. Arailway sho Id connect with theQueensland railways. L* only themonev that had been spent on defencehad been directed to the north-west not

only would the present disaster havebeen prevented, '»ut a military postwould have been created to guard Australia from the East.

FREEZING WORKS.

AMALGAMATION PROPOSAL.

| KAIAPOI COMPANY DIRECTORS[ TO RECONSIDER OFFER.

Although the directors or the NorthCanterbury Shpepfarmers' Co-operativeFreezing Company decided at theirmeeting last Wednesday to take nosteps for a month in the matter of theproposed amalgamation with the Can-terbury Frozen Meat Company, inorder to give the Advisory Commit-tee, set U P 8t the recent extraordinarygeneral meeting or shareholders, ay op-portunity to a?certnin the amount ofslock that farmers are prepared to putthrough the works, and, also, it Mayarrangements can be made to buy outthe ''dry'' shareholders. an endeavouris to be made to gel the amalgamationproposals reconsidered by the direet-or-

and. uiti.i'.atelv, to <jot themociopted.

Messrs C-. D. Greenwood (chairmanof directors) and I*. 11. Courage (oneof the directors) have asked that nspecial meeting of the directors be cill-ed tor next Wednesday afternoon forthe purpose of considering the "ari-cisableness of transferring the whole ofthe business, contracts, debts, pro-perty. and funds of the company tothe. Canterbury Frozen Meat Com-pany, Ltd., upon the terms whichhave been already considered by theBoard, or npoti such other terms asmay be mutually agreed upon."

It is expected that as the result oftliis meeting it will bo possible to giveeffect to the decision of the majorityof the shareholders, as indicated by theresult oi the poll taken at the extra-ordinary general meeting of share-holders, held on the 3rd inst. It willbe recalled that the voting teas 1411in favour and 1796 against a motiondeclaring that 'the time is not oppor-tune to consider the question of thesale, or of the amalgamation of thecompany." The voting is interpretedas an instruction from the majority ofthe shareholders that the time is op-portune to consider sale or amalgama-tion.

MR J. H. BLACKWELL REPLIES.

•in :ns kbixob or ~iuc pses-=.

Sir, 1 much regret thr.t Mr G. D.Greenwood.' chairman of the N'orthCanterbury Freezing Company, isagain pursuing; the policy of publicnewspaper discussion of the affairs ofthe company.

The internal workings and figure? ofrtiiy companr are necessarily confiden-tial to the directors, v. bo are. in theirturn, resjKjnsible to shareholders.

Tn t'lm case, Mr Gre»'ti wood liaselected, without any consultation withhis colleagues, to make further state-ments which are misleading, and cancmlv have the effect of depreciating thecompany and its assets.

With regard to the suggested "amal-gamation, • Mr Greenwood is perfectlyentitled to his opinion, but lie is notentitled to attempt to fortify that opin-ion by tactics which can only resultin damaging the company.

It is hardly edifying that news-paper controversy should take place be-tween directors of one Board, but infairness to the shareholders of iheNorth Canterbury Freezing Company,some reply must Ik? made to Mr Green-wood's statements.

In the course of his statement, evi-dently prepared, he refers to the esti-mated losses for this season as £II,OOO-- is not correct, and any estimateat this juncture is a pure assumption.

He states that in the first ten rearsof existence, this company made600,001) profit, since which it has"steadilv been losing ground." Forthe twelve years of its existence, andafter facing all losses, the companyStill shows that it has made £58,000balance of profit. He refers to lossesfrom last season still to be met, whenhe should know that they were facedlast season. .They were met in lastseason's balance-sheet, and sales ofstock, then unsold, have since realisedwithin £2OO of their stock sheet values.

He denies that the company has anvreserves 'in the common acceptationot the term " The audited balance-sheet shows that there are reserves of£14,000. These are balances of previ-ous profits which have been '•reserved*'and are invested in the eompanv'soperations providing working capitaland saving to the company annuallybank interest on that amount. Regard-ing the terms of "amalgamation, Mi-Green wood states that tiie offer is bet-ter than has been represented, where-as his own circular to shareholdersstated that 'the offer was 80s per Ishare clear !

His statement regarding the friendlyspirit existing between thfe directors ofthe two companies I cordially endorse,nothing but courtesy teas shown byboth sides. The . majority of ourBoard, however, could not agrree toth-i terms offered. It n.ust be some-what diverting to the directors oi theCanterbury Frozen Meat Company toreceive such a public testimonial froma gentleman who took such an activepart in founding an organisation tocompete against tlieui. From tfnji rpoint of view, the case could not havebeen better stated bv their own chair-man.

The question, however, that willnaturally arise in the minds of share-holders of the North CanterburyFreezing Company is, which companvdoes Mr Greenwood represent.U the: directors* of the CanterburyFrozen Moat Company feel that thevhave any grievance, it will be thatthe,v ttete misled when they were givento understand that this comnanv wouldhi "

STORIED PAST.

| RELICS OF THE EARLY! SETTLEMENT.

THE MI'SEUM COLLECTION.

! Besides the old Canterbury relics in| the possession of the Pilgrims' Assoeiai tion there are other collections in thei City, and there niiift be many moreI scattered throughout the province! among private families which may or' mar not be lost to posterity through

! fire or carelessness. As many ot them,

i though of slight intrinsic value, have a> very high historic and sentimental in-

| terest, it would be desirable that they; should be gathered into ore collection.

I and that all the provincial archives and; relics should be kept together where• they would !>e reasonably safe from the

1 accidents of time. A thorough iuvesti-* gation should reveal much still in the

! possession of private families whichcould be gathered together for the in-

i forest of the man in the street and forthe benefit of the future student somehundreds of years heme, who will wantto study the origins of his nation.

The .Museum already has a very goodcollection, which, like that of the Pil-grims' Association, is not generally

: known for the reason thftt it is too| valuable to be exposed to the oredatorv

; attentions of the souvenir hunter, andIso is kept locked away j,i the Oldi Colonists' room.

A casual surrey lighting here andthere oji what is most curious shouldgive the best indication of the natureof the collection. One brass plate de-tached from an old grave bears the fol-lowing inscription: "Hier ruht in GottAnton Jacob Ernst, 3A yteuermann anbord des Bremen Schiifes Hansa 28Jahr alt geburtig a its Bremen nmveitbier ersehossen A. M. 80A .Dec 1840von Win Krentel 2A Zimmerman anbord des selber schifs. Gott sei donMorden guadig." The translation inhalting English is written below: "Tothe Memory of Anton J. Ernst, 3rd mateof the ship Hansa of Bremen, aged £8jears, who was shot bi W. Krentel, car-penter, mate of do same ship." TheEnglish omitx tlie forgiving recommen-dation to merer of the German.

llany of the relics cannot be claimedas Canterbury's own: they come fromall parts of New Zealand. An carlywreck is recalled by the log of tlio"Sterner Alma, from Milbnume to Pt.Cooper, ISoD." The ship was wreckedat Sumner oil the Shag Uock in 1 S-jG.

A tinted drawing of the tlrst Wes-ieyan cliurcli in Christchurcli. built i*i1854, is a re!i;iiid''r that the settlementwas not entirely Church of England hiorigin. Tt -is dated inevitably by thefigures of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers in crinolines, accompaniedby gentlemen who might have steppedstraight out of the pagis o£ Dickens.

Out' reiic goes bad; to very earlytimes; it is a piece ot' teak from theCudeavoiu-. wrecked in Facile Harbour,Dusky Sound, in 1795. A print fromthe ''lllustrated London News" or' 1850shows a ball in progress on the Ran-dolph. The pioneers were not too dourand grim to enjoy dancing; though oftenlooked on as a race of giants, they werealso men. �'

The marriage of the Prince of Walesin JB(>3 was celebrated with enthusiasm,even at the distance of .12.001) miles.The Pijuss indulged in a souvenircopy printed ou silk. CerViiuly ifa much smaller Pkess. Silk ivas afavourite material then for programmesof all sorts, and the programme for thefirst Musical Society concert in 1860appeared on all the glory of colouredsilk. In the same year the "Tjj-tteltonChronicle and Peninsular News" 'wasissued for the first time 011 March 17th,and a copy has been kept 011 blue cloth.

Some leg-irons and shackles fromLyttelton Gaol are a grim souvenir otthe prison life in tho first years of theColony, when justice showed scant re-gard for any tender scruples. A re-volver once belonging to the West Coastgold escort is a cumbersome piece ofartillery to look at; but no doubt thevery size of the weapon did its bit :nmaking possible robbers think twice.

Edward Gibbon Wakefield used avery comfortable chair which is nowin the Museum, leather covered andsubstantial, though faded. An oldblockhouse in Akaroa has contributedthe remains of a door. In those daysthe Maoris were a very present danger.

The cross of the old spire of theCathedral which was shaken down inthe earthquake of 1888 is also in theMuseum. It is a massive piece of iron-work, so heavy that it was replaced bya lighter cross.

In one case lies a round shot, rustedand coated with gravel, which was firedin Hone Hoke's Rebellion in 1845 fromone of the guns of the Spanish shinSukabayia, which arrived at Russell,Bay of Islands, laden with horses andunseaworthy. The shot was found oneloot nine inches below the surface ofthe ground at Malawi via.

The little French settlement. inAkaroa seems to have been a turbulontplace. The Museum has a pair ofhandcuffs from the blockhou.-e andseveral antique firearms of the truepirate model, huge, clumsy weaponstaking a giant to lift and a brave manto fire.

One old table lias had an interestinghistory; it was brought from Sydneyby Mr Malcolm McKinnon in 1840 andlanded at Lake Forsyth. It was takenoverland to l'iccarton, but the Maoriswere threatening, and so Mr McKinnonset out for Akaroa carrying the tableon his head fthe legend gays so, so it

' must be true). He drove four bullocksand reached Lake Forsyth the first day,having _ travelled about 30 miles, ac-companied by Mrs McKinnon, carryingher one-year-old child. There stem'sgood reason to lament that the raceof giants is no more.

Ploughing then must have beer, avery primitive operation; an oldshould-ar plough looks as if it would dolittle more than scratch the surface.Any self-respecting ploughman wouldsniff at it to-day.

A small painting bv Henry Ffitch.who arrived in November, 1851. thowsChristcliurdi. or rather some half-dozenhouses, near the Avon and the PortT-lills in tho background. It is hardto realise that the water has floweddown the same river for less thaniO years and the rushes have ail gone,together wit!) the bullock wpjjgons anrithe crinolines and the uninterruptedview of the bare hills.

FARM AND STATION

CURRENT TOPICS.

ADDINGTON MARKET.The feature of the yarding on Wed-

nesday waS the heavy entry in eachof the three main sections of storesheep, fat sheep, and cattle. Towardsthe middle of April pennings in thestore section fall away rapidly, asfarmers have practically concludedtheir purchases. The fact that onWednesday there was general buyingat au improvement in prices indicatescontinuation of a suggestion some timeago that many farmers still want ewes,and they cannot complain about theprices they have had to pay this month.Compared with the corresponding salelast season values were:—

April 16, April 17,lU2B. 1925».

6. e. s. s.Ewes -

Fat sheep sold well considering theheavy entry, a steady demand by theexporters keeping values at the freez-ing rates. At this time last season481b wethers were at 6|d a lb, with 49-Sti's at 6Ad, the best ewes being 4Sdand the 49-56's 4£d. The followingweek an all-round advance of a half-penny per lb was recorded.

Of the C 35 head of fat cattle thatcame forward on Wednesday a thirdwan represented by station lines,mostly medium to good quality, smallpens of attractive steers, cows, andheifers made up about another third,but the balance was very poor stuff.For 700 to 9001b steer beef there wasa particularly sound sale, with goodheifers also holding previous rates, butheavy and poorer conditioned cows andsteers showed a drop, the bulk of thesebeing hard to quit. It will be seenfrom the following table that steerbeef is well ahead of the correspond-ing rates last year:—

SHEEP STEALING.It is to be hoped that the represen-

tations of the Canterbury A. and P.Association and the Sheepownera'Union to have legislation brought downto prevent the carrying of sheep inmotor lorries at night will not be me-chanically "filed" in the archives of theAgricultural Department. The motorlorry is so general nowadays that it isnext to an impossibility to cheek thethieving evil by any system of license.The only way of loing this, apparent-ly, is by preventing the removal ofsheep by lorry at night, unless, ofcourse, a special permit is provided,with power to a police authority to holdup a lorry if circumstances and appear-ances warrant. A North Canterburysheepowner recently lost over 30 sheepin a bunch of 140, and this is only aninstance of the losses, sustained. To ownproperty alongside the main road isa disability these times, as a lorry cansteal along, and with a silent workingdog, a sheep thief runs little chanceof being disturbed in his designs. Bythe time the theft is discovered thesheep could be sold next morning 100miles away, and distributed all* over thecountry. The evil is growing and theonly feasible cheek lies in something onthe lines suggested by the sheepownera'union.

AMERICAN WOOL NEEDS.Authorities in the wool trade have

been ■wondering for some years pastwhen America would enter seriouslyinto the lists as a competitor for Aus-tralian and New Zealand wools. Astime goes on, however, there seemslittle indication of it. American pro-duction has increased by 10 to 13 percent, while this mental oftho exports has been operating, buton past American wool requirementstho increase mentioned would benegligible as an influence on imports.Apparently America is still wearing itsold clothes, or clothes made of othermaterials. The expert American viewin 1923 was that by 1929, instead of re-quiring to import only two-fifth of itswool needs, the margin would be in-

By "Straggler."creased to three-fifths. This year ofgrace has seen the original two-fifthsbarely maintained. A leading Sydneyauthority comments on the position tothe effect that America has been themost disappointing purchaser of woolin Australia this season. Even thelower range of rates ruling over the last«ix weeks has not tempted her to buvfreely in Sydney. Up to the end ofJanuary this season only 27.537 baleswere

"

exported from Australia toAmerica. On the other hand, the Aus-tralian wool man has much to thankJ:ipan for in the sale of this season'sclip. Apart from the large weights ofwool Japanese buyers have absorbed,their consistent, inquiry has preventedconfidence in the wool position fromslipping. In February especially theiroperations were a safety valve whichstopped the faith of other consumersfrom entirely escaping.

GIANT WHEAT POOL.

A Canadian message in the Australianpapers states that the Canadian wheatpools will not enter into an alliancewith the United States producers tocontrol world prices. Officials of theWestern pools point out that at theInternation Wheat Pool Conference heldat Eegina last June all the delegatespledged themselves not to enter intoany combination to control prices. Thiswas at the urgent representation ofBritish and European firms, whichagreed not to consider retaliatory orself-protective measures of mass pro-duction at home or in the Dominions orcolonies on those conditions. Officialsof the Winnipeg pool, moreover, doubtvery much the capacity of a combina-tion of Canadian and United Statespools to control prices, since they con-trol only 60 per cent, of the world'sproduction. They point out that the his-tory of the rubber trade would be re-peated. In that instance the non-par-ticipating countries reaped the advan-tage of the high prices and enhancedproduction. Professor J. W. Brinton,of the University of Nebraska sometime ago submitted to the Senate Agri-culture Committee a plan for the con-trol of world wheat prices under thepending McNary Co-operative Market-ing Bill. Professor Brinton urges thatthe United States co-operative com-panies be empowered to form an alliancewith the Canadian wheat pools, so thattogether they would control 60 per cent,of the wheat produced in the world,and could stabilise world wheat prices."FOOT-AND-MOUTH."

It is a good thing for New Zealandstock owners that the outcry somemonths ago against the importation ofstock from foot-and-mouth affectedcountries was heeded by the Govern-ment. It took so long, however, to ex-tract a definite assurance retainingthe ban on importation that the as-sumption was justified that someone inauthority was decidedly "wo,bbly" onthe question. The one regret is thatthe Home authorities should have under-stood that this Dominion would be satis-fied with the creation of a quarantinestation at the point of export. Out-breaks of the disease are showing nodiminution in England, and importa-tion would have tended to prejudicethe Dominion in that "splendid isola-tion" it enjoys as the one stockcountry in the world entirely free fromserious animal diseases. During Janu-ary four outbreaks of foot-and-mouthoccurred in California, and it is hearten-ing to read how the Americans go aboutgetting rid of it. Within 12 hours ofthe disease being reported and diag-nosed the stock were slaughtered andburied. "No quibbling over price, byeither the law or the owner," statesa report. "Get them out of the way,under the ground; that's the idea. Onehundred thousand dollars spent rightnow may save millions later." The pestwas discovered first this year in a droveof 3500 hogs in Los Angeles county. "Ithas been definitely proved," continuesthe report, "that the disease wasbrought to California through meatscraps taken from Los Angeles harbourwith other garbage from a boat carry-ing South American meats in its coolers.As a result of a few cents worth ofgarbage carried away from that boatto be fed to hogs, California is suffer-ing a severe economic loss; 3500 headof hogs and four grade dairy herdshave been slaughtered and buried, andalready the State of California and theFederal Government have spent manythousands of dollars."

HARVESTING POTATOES.

A BAGGING MACHINE.

Our Waimate correspondent writesthat a potato bagging machine has beendesigned, built, and tested over aseason'B work on a local farm. It isthe invention of a Willowbridgegrower, and during this, its first sea-son, has successfully bagged 2250 sacksof tubers.

The device comprises a wide steadytravelling table, divided into threeraces. Pickers stand on each side ofthe table, and the potatoes are trans-ferred by them from the debris inthe two outside races, to the centrerace. The bagger is designed to followthe ordinary ehain driven elevatordigger. The shaker of the digger isremoved and the elevator is extendedto give added shaking capacity and toelevate the potatoes to the bagger. Fivepickers were used during the season,though, on occasions four and some-times even three were sufficient. Thenumber of men required varies, ac-cording to the conditions of soiland crop. A man's capacity for pick-ing in the average crop is approxi-mately doubled when on the newbagger, and the labour charges areredueed accordingly.

The bagging is done automatically,and the man attending the doublebagging spouts sews the full sacks andplaces them in position for "dumping."The "dumping" or unloading takesplace at the ends of the rows or atsuitable intervals. When opposite a"dump" the bag sewer easily unloadsthe sacks without the :naehine stop-ping. As many as live sacks may beunloaded at a time. The wearingparts of thf machine are all slowmoving, making for long life.

The power required to operate thecombination is sis horses, or its equiva-lent. The double bagging spouts arefitted with the inventor's own devicefor attaching the sacks. To facilitatepicking in different types of crops twospeed gears are provided for the pick-ing table.

The machine has created a good dealof interest in the potato growing dis-tricts, and it is believed that it willgo a long way towards reducing thecost of harvesting potatoes.

D. A. HE^>F^S\.Morven, April 18th, 1029.

[Enclosure.]A silent revolution is taking place in the

world of dress. This year the big dress-making hoi ses will be showing great numbersof summer dresse3 that do not use silk,cotton, or linen. For these dresses are madein wool.

Two things have helped to bring about the"woollen-clad" summer season. One is tiieremarkable phenomenon that often passesfor summer in our northern latitudes, andtne other is the recent development in weav-ing that has given us finer, lighter and moresupple woollens. After years of dull wetsummers women realised that a wardrobecomposed of silks, cottons, and linens waenot a practical way of equipping oneself foran English June, and they began to demandwoollen fabrics of light textures to supple-ment summer eilks and chiffons. Somewoollen manufacturers at once turned theirattention to this question of lighter woollensand gave us a number of new and charmingfabrics, as supple and easy to drape as suk,and of a featherweight texture that was oftentransparent. Women instantly recognisedtho immense possibilities of these new

I fabrics, and in spite of the finer weather( and the greater heat of last summer they

j continued to order numbers of little summerI frocks and coats in wool.

Woollens for Summer, 1929.Tiiia year the continued success of these

fabrics ia already assumed. The greatFrench couturiers have shown themselvesquite alive to the increasing demand for thiskind of fabric, and their plans have beenlaid in collaboration with the fabric-makers.

It is good news that women can de-mand comfort and get it, good news thatthey prefer sensible things, and good that thepractical and elegant are now one. It shouldbe the beat of all news to England becauseBritain is the great woollen-making country.

The tweed manufacturers of Scotland, aswell as of Cumberland, of Somerset, and ofIreland, have re-equipped themselves tomanufactuie the lightweight tweed which themodern life of women demands. But whiletweeds are perhaps, in these five and six-ounce weights to the yard, the most desiredfabric of the spring, the general demandfor a woollen fabric for light summer wearis for such a worsted 06 is mad© in York-shire.

It should be recognised that the fashion forfeatherweight woollena is not a passing whim,but a logical development in harmony withthe trend of modern life and modern dress.It is in sympathy with the pace and press oftwentieth-century existence, which demandsthat grace should be combined with a certainquality of sturdiness.

It is interesting to note the varying re-actions of fabric-makers. French manu-facturers quickly realised the demand andhave reorganised their establishments tosupply it. But it is British fabrics thatwomen over here want to wear and Britishlight and supple woollens that they mustdemand. There are certain circumstances thatmake a great difference between the attitudeof the French fabric-makers to this demandand the attitude of English manufacturers.One very considerable factor is the differentmode of existence erf the two groups. InFrance the great fabric-makers are constantlyin touch with all the big dress-creators. Nobig dress collection is shown without theleaders of the fabric world being present, thefabric-maker fullv aware that what is soldnow to the modish woman will in a_ shorttime be worn by thousands, perhaps millions.

The English manufacturer has not theadvantage of such a sharply focused view ofcominsr fashions. Here the demand is morediffused and difficult to assess. It is all themore necessary, therefore, for the English-woman to voice her demands in the matter.Let her then a»k for British fabrics of thischaracter, for her demjnd will help to stimu-late the supplv. It will have a roundaboutwav to go. through the shop-assistant, thelmver..and the merchant, back to the_ manu-facturer, but it must in the end prevail Andfor the sake of British industry it ia verymuch worth while.

Stout, heavy, or harsh materials, howeverh*rd-wearing, aTe useless for modern con-ditions. It is true that the old Bradfordwoollens would outwear the presort tightwoollens, hut so did cotton stockings out-wear silk stockinp's, yet it is the latterwomen demand and get.

New Woollens: New Methods.These new woollens necessitate iew meth-

ods of weaving. This is a difficulty whichthe manufacturer must deal with, but beforeembarking on considerable changes mmachinery and working he naturally wishesto have some guarantee that such changeswill be profitable. It is the continuousdemand of women for British fabrics thatwill give him a definite lead on the subjectand will help him to recognise that lightwoollens are the logical wear for modern con-ditions of life. Suppleness and a light weighthave now become essentials in women sdresses, qualities they will not now consentto part with A wide range of colours—thisvear's colours and not last vear'B colours —isthe other demand. If Britain cannot supplylight woollens in the colours of the day, whatcan women do Mit take what is offered insuch perfection by the French manufacturer?But first let her demand li?ht English wool-len fabrics and see what her own countrycan supply.

DISTURBANCE IN ANOFFICE.

"BAXTER'S" TO THE KESCUE.Annoyance was caused in a large

office recently when one of the staffwas attacked with an irritation of thethroat, in consequence of which he wascontinually coughing. Others aroundhim, desirous of concentrating on theirwork, found the sound of his coughmost irritating, and one of his col-leagues went across .to his desk andsaid: "Look here, old chap, for good-ness sake pop over to the chemist andand buy a bottle of Baxter's LungPreserver. You will find it will easethat throat of yours and stop thatcough." This advice was taken, andafter he had taken a dose or two of"Baxter's" the staff were able to con-tinue their duties in peace.

The soothing properties of Baxter'sLung Preserver loosen phlegm andpromptly allay irritation in the throatand bronchial passages. In addition tobeing a rich, red, warming, soothingcompound that does good from the firstdose, "Baxter's" posseses nnique tonicproperties that help to bnild up thesystem.

You can get a generous-sized bottleof "Baxter's" at any chemist or storefor 2s 6d; the large economical sizeis 4s 6d, while bachelors will find theIs 6d size handy. g

Even if you are not prepared to] Top-Dress all your pastures, whyI not Top-Dress half the area ofI different paddocks ?

THE vital importance of Top-Dressing to better returns andmore profitable farming is now

established .... if you wish for stillmore conclusive evidence in additionto what has been published, why notobtain it by adopting the abovesuggestion ?

Divide different pastures into halves.Top-Dress one half by applying twoto three cwt. of Highest-Grade"Rockland'' Superphosphate to eachacre. So that full advantage maybe taken of Autumn growth, thisshould be done with as little delayas possible.

Then, daring the ensuing twelvemonths; carefully note

(1) The extended growing period thatlessens the demand for special cropsfor Winter feed.

(2) NOTE how stock favour the Top-Dressed areas on account of the higherphosphate content of the herbage.

(3) NOTE the definite increase in VOLUMEof feed in addition to higher food valueof both grasses and clovers.

(4) NOTE how the growth, of the Top-Dressed pastures starts several weeksearlier in the Spring.

Not without good reason Is the practice of Top-Dressing with "RocklandSuperphosphate increasing each year. Follow our suggestion and you milprove to your complete satisfaction that your land can W made to LARKYMORE STOCK, PRODUCE MORE WOOL, BETTER LAMBS, andBIGGER RETURNS by regular applications of "Rockland" Superphosphate.

Don't delay order "Rockland" Superphosphate forYOUR OWN TEST ON YOUR OWN LAND and apply it as

soon as you conveniently can.Early Autumn Top-Dressing gives the

most uniformly successful results.Manufacturer* :

[THE FBESS Special Service.]

DUNEDIN. April 19.

At a meeting of the DunedinJockev Club, the question of dates fornext season was considered, and it was

decided to leave the dates of theSpring Meeting in abeyance in themeantime. Other dates were selecteda* follows : —Summer Meeting, Decem-

ber 26th and 23th (Thursday anJ Sat-urdav)• Autumn Meetin lebiua.Btli a«d 10th (Th«r;<l»y »'' dWinter Meeting, June 3rd, sth, and' *

The distance of the McLean Stakeswas reduced to four furlongs, and itwag decided to make forthe McLean Stakes, £3oo for theChampagne Stakes £4OO, and for theDunedin Guineas £400._

Tt was decided to forward to eachMinister of the Cabinet and local mem-bers of Parliament a cop\ of tha fol-lowing resolution passed at the meet-ing: "The Dunedin Jockey Club re-quests that legislation be passed dur-inst the present year to permit thepublication of dividends and the tele-graphing of investments on the totalis-ator to the secretaries of racing andtrotting clubs."

The following remits to the -RacingConference were ordered to be sentforward for that bodv's consideration:

(a) An alteration of the rules to meatfx case of compensation to riders ofhorses in the hunting field when thesehorses are being qualified for puntersraces.

(b) An alteration of the rules to pro-vide • that when an owner has two ormore horses engaged in a race, histrainer, provided lie holds a jockey slicense, may ride any one of thehorses.

THE TOTALISATOR

TO TSR EDITOR Or THS PSESg.

Sir,—Any sign of interest in theworking of the totalizator must tendto the advantage of the sport. Thisrenders the controversy between "GeeGee'' and Mr Barrett most interesting.1 am prepared to admit that botligentlemen are experts on the actualmanagement of racing, but there isanother side- -the mechanical handlingof the totalisator. I have managedmachines for twenty-five years, and 1can state emphatically that the scheme,as suggested by "Gee Gee," cannot beworked on the present conditions.

There is an idea that because themachine is not working for th© first,few minutes everybody is idle, That isnot right. The work of cleaning upthe last race and preparing for thenext leaves the staff with little timeto spare. The only way to handle aone-horse dividend scheme would be bya separate machine, and under presentfinancial conditions what club would beprepared to face the expense?—Yours,etc.,

NOTES ON THE RACING.(SPECIM. TO THE PRESS.)

HASTINGS, April 3.9.Atareri# and Highwayman accounted for

the bulk of the betting in the MacgstarataHurdles, but neither returned a dividend.The latter and Riikauponga disputed the leadthroughout, and Kakauponga was firjst overthe iust fence. Highwayman was done, andRakaupoiiga secured the hunours by half *iengih ixvm iSraemac, who tinishea 011 w»l,to ueat Highwayman by a lengtu for secondmouoy. Jianuarine was nest, and thentame Abisogne and Crishna, with i/ai e » larana .Mixed Heather tailed off. Atareriaran up into third place rounding the tarturn, but retired on entering the straightHighwayman, who was recent.y purchased inTaajnauia, ivas haying his first race overthe battens, ana will do better later. Heis an aged gelding by cit.ckup, and wonhurdie races in 'lasmania.

Kinross and Clavers were equally sup-ported for the High-Weight Handicap, whi'kprovided an impressive victory for the Or-inond-owned King's Jest. He took chargeat the far turn from King Manu, Kinross,Tan, Tunbridge, and <ien, and led into thestraight from Kinross, Tunbridge, and Jen.Kinrots headed King s Jest inside the dis-tance, but the latter came again over thelast fifty yards, and beat the favourite bythree-parts of a length, with Tunbridgeover two -engths away in third place. Jenwas next, followed by Curtsey, King Manu,and Tan. The winner, a brother to Shir-ley, was formerly one of the lato S. Wad-den's team, and shows promise of beingmore than useful over a distance in thenew season.

The Nursery Handicap proved an easyproposition for the second choice, HuntingCry, who is trained by J. it. Cameron,and carries the same colours as White Fan?.He followed Hunting Boy, Ben Hnr, andKoyal Flyer into the straight, but when inline ran home a comfortable winner by twolengths from the Ivemball representative, BenHur, by H.vmestra from Miss Gold, whopaid a double-figure dividend. HuntingBoy was a similar distance away in thirdplace, and then came Lordlike, Auda, RoyalLine, Clever, Adept, and Valpre. The win-ner is a well-grown colt by Hunting Songfrom Natalite. dam of White Fang.

The withdrawals of Great Charter, TheHawk, and Hunting Cry left only five start-ers for the Hawte's Bay Stakes, and in apoor betting pool Gascony was made anodds-on favourite. He duly prevailed, buthad a close ea 1! with the two-year-old Ad-miral Drake. The pair raced together fromthe start, and after two furlongs had beencovered wpre well clear of Cimabue. withanother gap to Miilais. They entered thestraight together, but at the distance. Ad-miral Drake had his head in front, andappeared to have the favourite beaten, butGascony made a final effort, and gained theverdict by a neck. Cim.ibue was six lengthsaway, with Miilais weil back. My OwnStumbled shortly after the dispatch, andthrew her rider. Gaseony's victorywas naturally popular one. but Cimabuedisappointed his supporters, and evidentlythe track, which was s little holding, didnot suit him, as he made a very poorshowing.

A poor class field contested the Hawke sBay Cup, and the race was not of an inter'eating nature. White Fang quickly wentto the front, and at the end of a mile waswell clear of Cashier, with another breakto Blimp, Goodwill, High Court. Tresham,and Papstu. Cashier drew up to the leaderrounding the home turn, and was within twolengths of him entering the straight. WhiteFang was in trouble at the distance, an 4Cashier wore him down in the final run tpthe post to beat him by half a length. Thispair had the finish to themselves, the thirdhorse, Papatu, being three lengths away.

Hifh Court, Goodwill, Treshani, and Blimpfinished in that order. The race was runat a slow pace, and this should have suitedWhite Fang, but he failed to see out thejourney. Cashier, showed marked staminaand looks likely to develop into a goodfour-ye»r-old. Papatu was unable to keepwith the field over the first half of thejourney, but did good work in the runhome- His display, however, was disap-pointing. The remainder were done withJonjf befere the post was reached.

The larg® field of twenty-three paraded forthe Poukawa Handicap, Second Thought head-ing the list in a well distributed pool. Asurprise was in store for investors, as twoof the Httfe fancied division returned thedividends. After a furlong had been tra-versed Bernera had charge from Keen, TomByrne, Flying Binge, and Kijnbo, Dimmerand Nightwitch being badly left. Bernerslost his place turning for home and Keenwas left in charge. He appeared to havothe race in hand, but Gold Boy finished onwith a burst of speed and collared Keen inthe last couple of strides to defeat him byhalf a length. Flying Binge was threelengths away in front of Sylvan Dell, Kimbo,Shortly, Bernera, and St. Melba. The win-ner is a three-year-old by Gasbag, and thiswas his second success this season. Keenpiade every effort to repeat his win in thelams event twelve months ago, when he re- jturned a sensational dividend as a result ofthe machine closing with a small total.

Spearmiss wti elected first choice for theAutumn Handicap, but although she made abold bid in the finishing stages, she wentdown to Teri. Tanagra opened up a bigbreak after the field settled down and ledalong the back from Good Sport. Kaiti, andTeri. The leader cried enough at the homebend, and Teri led into the straight fromGood Sport and Tanagra, with Spearjnissmaking an effort from a rear position. Spear-miss challenged Teri in the deciding tnssle,but the latter had too much in band andbeat her by a length. The remainder wereStrung out, Comical being four lengths awayIn third place, followed t»y Thrift, Jeanette.and Kaiti. The second favourite. Star-board Light, dwelt on the mark when thetapes were released and took no part Jn therace.

Great Charter and Toxeuina practicallymonopolised the business op the Poranfca-ban Handicap, and the latter gained s meri-torious victory, Kaihoro acted as poce-maker from the start and led into the straightfrom Helotie, Great Charter, and Toxeamn.Great Charter beaded Kaihoro entering thestraight, but *9Oll succumbed to a challengebf Toxeuraa. Mis l? Ransom then made a runfrera the back and headed Great Charter, butwas unable to make any impression onToxeuma, who won decisively by half alength. Great Charter faded «at ever thelast fifty yards, and was a length aivay inthird place, followed by Royal Duke, MoaBird, Merry Mint, and Epfstle.

TURF GAMBLING.

SOME STRIKING FIGURES.

LUBE OF the bookmaker.

(from 01/'R OW* COBBTSPOaMKT.)

! SYDNEY, April 11.The hold which betting on horse

racing has on the people of New Zea-land £>nd Australia lias been under re-view here. On account of the dif-ferent conditions in both countriesnothing like a comparison is possible,but the figures that have been publishedare of great interest nevertheless. Thetotalisator investments at the A.J.C,autumn meeting of four days, whiebhas just concluded, amounted to£209,940. A leading Sydney book-maker, who is a recognised turfauthority, estimated that, outside thetotalisator, £2,000,000 changed handsin wagers.

Totalisator betting is not very popu-lar with the racing public of Australia,The regular patrons of the sport in-vest with the bookmakers, and it isimpossible to guage accurately theamount of money which changes handsduring a big meeting at Eandwick, butthe £2,000,000 already mentioned maybe regarded as a moderate estimate.On such important races as the Don-caster Handicap and the Sydney Cupit is estimated that about £.200,000changed hands over each race.

In the saddling paddock at Band-wick there are 144 bookmakers, andthe majority of them make books onthe principal handicaps of between£SOO and £7OO. Three or four ofthe largest operators work on £BOOObooks, and about half a dozen incurliabilities of about £SOOO each. Thenext thirty bookmakers have an aggre-gate of about £ISOO each, leaving ap-proximately £IOO,OOO between the re-mainder of the bookmakers in thesaddling paddock, the 147 bookmakersin the St. Leger Eeserve and the 130bookmakers on the Flat. On the leesimportant races the size of the booksis decreased, and in arriving at anestimate for the four days, considera-tion must also be given to the factthat invariably the first two days ofthe big fixture attract the largestcrowds. The money that changes handson the first two days is considerablymore than half the grand total of themeeting.

During the year 1927-28 the totaliza-tors in New South Wales put through ;£2,830,209. Of that amount £1,447,712was invested at Metropolitan regis-tered meetings, and £641,387 at theunregistered pony meetings. Invest- iments in the country amounted to j£241,110. In New South Wales the itotalisator always has the strong open 'opposition of the bookmaker. In New jZealand, it is pointed out, the totalisa- ,tor provides the only legal facilitiesfor wagering on a racecourse, and theannual investments in 1928 exceeded£7,000,000, The exact figures, ac-cording to the Year Book were27,634,077 invested on 21523 races on319 days, and for stakes amounting to ;£591,780. This total of investments inN«*w Zealand was exceeded in 1924,1925, and 1926, an® in the latter yearthe amount put through the machinewas £8,605,582.If the totalisator figures in New

South Wales approached anything likethose reached in the Dominion many asmall racing club would cease to havefinancial worries, and the Government,too, would have an easier mind as faras its finances go. Still, the bookmakerin Australia is in an unassailable posi-tion. The public wants him, and he isbound to stay.

are they necessary ? j

IPS ess (USOCIATJOS- TSLELiRiM.'TIMARU, April IP.

In connexion with the controversy inwhich the principal of MarlboroughCollege, Blenheim, has come out as thechampion of the decapitation of theprimary school and the mass transfer-ence of Standards V. and VI. pupils toexisting secondary »ehools, Mr A.Lawrence (chairman of the lav membersof the primary school syllabus J\c\isionCommittee, who submitted a minorityreport) [.(duts out that the committer■was invited to report "Whether tocurriculum provided for Standards *

and YJ. should be moditieu, as in t «

Junior High Schools, to provide for theearlier commencement of subjects t iahave heretofore been studied oiu> 1

post-primary course, and whether it ispossible without additional expenditureto provide these courses." The nllB(? rity report furnished an estimate of ®

cost of the Junior High School schemeof reorganisation proposed in thejority report, Tjut since thesehad been questioned by the neyv Mmister, it vi ould be most'helpful, viev?

of the fact that the reorganisation oi

the educational system on Junior ig

School lines involves the mass trans ei"

ence from the primary to some othertype of school of something like 4-,uvJUpupils in Standards V. and VI. (or one-fifth of the primary school populationof Xe\y Zealand), if the principal otMarlborough College would produce acomprehensive statement setting outhe total capital expenditure on land,buildings, furnishings, and equipment(giving details of classrooms vacated),scale of staffing, annual cost, and in-creased incidental allowances ana otherpayments involved in providing ahandful of scholars with Junior HighSchool facilities at Blenheim.

The Primary School Syllabus Be-vision Committee, Mr Lawrence ex-plains, as the name implies, was notinvited to report on the quality andobjective of secondary and technicaleducation, but the minority reportstrongly recommends that before thereorganisation or disorganisation of thepresent system involving the status ofthe primary school is contemplated, athoroughly representative committeeshould be appointed to report on thequality, objective, and cost (to theState and parents of pupils) of second-ary and technical education in NewZealand, and that recommendation has,found v-ery general endorsementthroughout New Zealand. Moreover,it is contended that if the staffing, ac-commodation, and equipment arrears ofthe primary school are overtaken, andthe new sy'llabuß given a fair trial, therevitalised and well-staffed primaryschool will do all that is required tomake that portion of the educationsystem more in accordance with NewZealand's tradition and circumstances.

Inference t->tht i Lytitiiton Harboqr Board returntor 1!»2& shows that coastal exportsfrom Ijyttelton amount to 217,56U tonscompared with l tons imported-No returns aro availahlo as to thevalue of these coastal shipments, but a* ,ueful e-timate prepared by our secre-tary shows that tlia value of the coastalexports last year must have exceededthe import value of coastal shipmentsby over halt a million sterling. If theactual values of the coastal trade couldb« ascertained, the excess value of theexports would probably reach nearerone million pounds jf sheep importa-tion* from th© North Island werededucted.

In addition to th© abovo the rail-ways carry heavy freights to other dis-tricts in the South Inland from Christ-church factories and North Canterburytarms.

FEDERAL POLITICSTHE COMING SESSION. !

i

NORTHERN TERRITORYDEVELOPMENT.

;raon ova sriiciAX, aaPMSESTATivi.)

CANBERRA, April 6.The Minister for Home Affairs is

to pay a visit to the Northern Terri-tory next month, and the Postmaster-lieneral, Mr Gibson, proposes to ac-company huu. It is probable thatbonie newspaper men may also be in-vited to make the trip.

Mr Abbott takes his position as Min-ister for Home Affairs very seriously,and is anxious to make himself ac-quainted ut first-hand with conditionsin the Northern Territory, which isrepresented in the Federal Parliament!>v Mr Nelson, a Labour member, whohas no vote but has the tongue of afire-eater. Part of the trip is to bemade by aeroplane. By that time itis hoped that the weather conditionswiii be favourable—different from whatthev were when the Southern Cross,with Kingsford Smith and Ulm, waslost.

Though 110 announcement has yetbeen made, beyond the Prime Minis-ter's statement that the Governmentwould welcome the co-operation ofprivate capital in developing the greatNorth, it is believed that Mr Abbott'strip is the prelude to a new developmental policy along the lines suggest-ed bv the British Economic Mission.If we are to hold the North, it mustbe occupied, and there are people out-side of this country who contend thattho esistence of a handful of whitesup there does not constitute "occu-pancy" in accordance witb the law ofnations. Sir George Buchanan, who wasengaged a year or two ago to report)upon our harbour facilities for navaland other purposes, had something tosay on this point, and the views ofthe Economic Mission have againdrawn attention to the matter. It hasbeen stated that millions of nrivat®capital are ready to be thrown intothe Territory, but unless the Govern-ment is prepared to offer encourage-ment along sound lines the moneywould «imply be thrown away~-anathat is not ths Great Idea. We shallawait the result of the Minister'svisit and recommendations with muchinterest.

Apart from the Northern Territoryquestion, which will undoubtedly fig-ure in the Government's programmefor next session, there are many otherimportant matters to be dealt with.The session which recently concludeddealt with some matters of consider-able importance, but, as Dr. EarlePage has said, it was but preliminaryto the main business that is to com©before Parliament. Ministers will soonbe sitting in Cabinet again to con-sider the programme.

What of the question of shippingfreightsP What of the big coal ques-tion and the bounty? What of nationalinsurance, child endowment, and unem-ployment ? What of the Constitution PThe Prime Minister has promised MrThompson, member for New Eneland.that he will see that time is affordedfor the consideration of alterationsin the Constitution that time and ex-perience hav« shown to be necessary,and that in itself is going to take upa good deal of time. The other sub-iects have nil been enquired into byRoyal Commissions and recommenda-tions made in regard to them. Whatthe Government proposes to do remainsto be seen.

The "Economicrive."One of the measures passed during

the recent session provided for theestablishment of an Economic ResearchBureau, and matters are now in trainfor the sotting up of thi§ bureau,which is to act in conjunction .viththe Development and Migration Com-mission, the Council of ticientiSe andIndustrial Research and the TariffBoard. Various names have been men-tioned in connexion with the director-ship. It will surprise no-one if theposition is offered to Mr Wickens, heCommonwealth Statistician; otherwiseit may be expected to go to a processorof economics from one of our univers-ities. The names of Professor Copland,of Melbourne, and Professor Bngden,of Tasmania, occur readily to us; andthere are others.

The three whose names liave beenmentioned here have been engaged forthe past year or so, together withMajor Gibiin, who was up till recentlythe Government Statistician in Tas-mania, and Mr Dyason, a well-knownbusiness man of Melbourne, in an ex-haustive investigation of the economiccondition of the Commonwealth, Theyhave given their services in *n hon-orary capacity, actuated by a desireto ascertain exactly where Australiastands to-day—what has been the re-sult of the policies we have been par-suing and where they are leading ns.In this investigation the tariff question—the whole effect of our national fiscalpolicy—has naturally been one of thechief subjects for consideration.

Here are five able men, well trainedfor their work, approaching a verybig subject in a fair and impartialspirit (whatever preconceived notionsthey had have been cut out entirelyin an endeavour to get at the exacttruth) and their report is awaitedwith the keenest interest. The reporthas been completed, but it is held uppending the verification of certain im-portant figures

It is likely that tariff questions willhavft a prominent place in the businessof the next session, and the report ofAustralia's "Economic Five" will nodoubt rla y an important part in anyfuture decisions of the Parliament.

SOUTH ISLANDSCENERY.

N.S.W. minister impressed.

"Of all the things I hare seen inNew Zealand the Glacier district aboutMount Cook is supreme," said the Hon.Mr Druxnmond, Minister for Educationin New South Wales, in an interviewlast night. "It is remarkable not, onlyfor its ruggedness and beauty of soqw-clad mountains hut also for the excel-lence of its hotel and motor service."H© had seen, he said, much of the rurallandscape coming through from Queens-town, via Gore, where he was met bythe Southlan' Progress League andmotored through to Invercargill, viaWyndham. Throughout his tour of theSouth Island be was impressed withthe uniform excellence of the countryfor mixed farming, the thrifty, wellkept appearance of the farms, and thecomfortable farm houses and surround-ings. It was a wonderfuLlv fine stretchof good country. In the run over theLindis Pass he found particularly in-teresting the view from the tops of theranges and the peculiar purple haze onthe hi'ls. which was unique in his ex-perience. On the trip down the lakefrom Oueenstown. when the mi6t liftedin the morning, he had seen and greatlyadmired the snow-capped hills in con-trast with the blue water of the lake.

The Christchurch pack are weighty anafast, and are likely to be one of the strongestfactors in tne competition. Cottrell, Maii-cl-ester, Rogers, and itacDuff are young for-wards with their football before them. TheChristchurch back division wi'l comprise anumber of players of outstanding promise.Unfortunately, A. Rebiiliard ia preventedfrom playing on account of an injury receivedlast Saturday, and may be out for someweeks. Tha three-quarter line will probablybe tlart, Stephenson, and J- Robilliard.McClelland, from Wellington, will be givenan opportunity in the inside backs, asso-ciated with Mullan.

The game on the South ground betweenMerivale and Albion is an important one,and should also be most interesting. Albionare Ukely t-o upset calculations, as the pre-sence of H. Lilburne makes the team astrong attacking combination. Merivale havea younger side than usual, which with alittle strengthening behind the scrum shouldbe formidable.

On the West ground, Linwood meet West OldBoys. Th« critics seem to thin}? that theGreens will have a flne forward team thisyear. Should their baeks give them thenecessary support, they may prove dangerous.

Old tJoys Technical at the ShowGrounds. Tha Whites have a big following,who expect great things. On the No. 3ground the Senior B fifteen and Old Col-legians will try conclusions. At LancasterPark a curtain-raiser will be played, start'ing at 1.30 p.m.

outburst Mr Waller tendered his resig-

nation, which was accepted with "gret.Mr B Bailey, eh'iraian of «orKs,

DUNBI>IN, April 19.By the death of the Very He v. Altre-1

UutartNoii Fit. belt P.0., t'.M.G.,Dean of the dux-we of Dunedtn, the

City, and, in fact, the IV.u>mum hask»t one ol its raont iUiwtrioua citiaoiw.Dunn KitohttU made liw mark innnedi-iiu ly alter hm .1 rival in Now Zealandi*tt long "*'» aa IStS-l, and an the yearswent by he continued to add to histcoutnt ion as clergyman, scholar, anait imui unusual breautn oi

vihion until ho justly came to belug&rded « one °f th°' ''. st iniormedintifi ill New Zealmid.

A member ot a l,iiliiaiit family, hewi'b bom in 1H:«> at (iranthaui, Luicoln-lare, England. Ai an early ago he

tlufitkid to d«voto his talents to the< hurch and he wast destined m later\t*4is lo become an outstanding figuiein the religious world. He led an ex.-U, melv active lil'v. and his remarkablei <iallt v was exhibited in the lact thatwhen lie rctii.-.l from the iHj.si.tion ofVicar of All Saints' Church-his soleincumbency in the servico of theI hurcli of England - ho had pat>.scd hisMOt.lt year. Even then it was not thewish of hi* devoted parishioners thatlie diould retire, but his desire to do

wiui reluctantly agreed to because allouncerued realised I hat he had renderedyeoman nervice to the Church and

< oiniiitinit.v arid that he was entitled toa cent after t»uch long and fruitfullabour*.

Following his ordination to tlieM. tfiodiit ministry mui his arrival in"St-w Zealand fmra Victoria, tho lie?.Mr Fitchett spent some years in thowvim of that Church, first in Wanga-iiui, then in Dunedin, then in Christ-< Imri-li, and ugain in Dunedin. InJanuary, 1870, it was announced that.Mr Fitchett had bwm ordained tod'Mcon'g orders by tho Bishop of Mel-bourne. Ho took over the incumbency<>f All Saints' Church withoutdelay, commencing his ministra-tions there on February 2nd,

Though he waa first hj>-pointed to tho charge for twelve■mnths only, it must hare hwn a•ouroe of gratification to him that histurn of service in tho parish extendedto nearly 80 years.

Apart from his Church work the lateturned the overflow of his

thought and erudition into the chan-nels of journalism, and as the chiefcontributor daring many years to aweekly column in the "Otago Dailyl ime#," which waa read by thousands,he eieroiied a widespread influenceboth in this province and far beyondits ocnfinen. In this column he dis-played literary gift* of a very highorder, allied to a an eiicyclopwdic know-ledge of books arid affairs. Epigram,natiro, irony, wit, humour, ho couldwield them all when occasion required,and it i.i a matter of regret to hismany admirers that, unlike his distin-guished brother, Dr. W. H. Fitchett,he has left practically nothing behind<k permanent value. Hut as to hisjourruilixtic work nobody could den* its-riarkling brilliancy, except perhapsthose who happened to be the hntt ofhi* wit and wisdom. Had he elected*•(< iollow journalism as a profession,there is probably no limit to the heightswhich ho could have scaled.,

jute Dean leaves to mourn hismm Mise Fitchott a daughter of hisftr-t marriage, and two daughters andtwo «>n:i of his second marriage. Theseare Mrs Mayo and Mrs Elmore, ofEngland and Dr. Fitchett and Arch-deacon Fitchett, of Dunedirt. Dr Fred-erick Fitchett, 0.M.0., of Auckland,ft a younger brother.

COMEDIAN'S BANK-RUPTCY.

TROUBLE WITH TAX-COLLECTOR

(fatti* ova o«i ookMuroavam.)

LONDON, March «.

it was revealed yesterday that anIncome-tax: collector, wtio vanished, con-tributed to the bankruptcy of MrUuorga Davy Hurnaby, the comodian,who from ly-0 to was a memberut the Co-optimists.

Mr Burnaby at the statutory firstmeeting of creditors submitted a state-ment of affairs. It showed liabilitiesaMiosintiistg to -4&Gi33t ( of which £570-tIs expected to raa.k, and assets £SBrequired to pay preferential claims.

i'hfl official receiver said that untilthe autumn of ltfiiti Mr Burnaby <onside red that lie was solvent. His affairshad b«eu on trusted to uu income-taxnoileetor, to whom he had paid a fewhundred pound* on account of incomeand super-tax. He then understood thatliis total indebtedness in respect oftaxes dkt not exceed £SOO.

In Augu.tl, iy~t>. the collector disap-peared, and witM eventually eouvicted

■of misappropriation. Mr Burnaby thendiscovered that the Inland Revenueclaimed upwards of j£3t>oo. Theauthor!tie* laaaed a writ for its re-livery, and only then did he realisehis iiiaolyeiu-y.

Mr burnaby had since paid part oflua salary, together with various sumsborrowed from money lenders, in reduc-tion of the claim. He was eventually.urccd to tile his petition because theUovenue authorities had obtained aco.nuattal order against hini.

The meeting resulted in MrI iuruahy '• estate remaining in the„an<!s of the Official Receiver.

ton Orient Liner, This is the best meansof visiting foreign lands m oomion and atlow cost. The ship is a home, fitted withevery comfort and providing laciiiuea forstrenuous exercise or cccip.ete rest. Onceon board, packing and unpacking, Customs'examination, difficulties with ioreign langu-ages, and the worries generally afsocia.edwith travel abroad are left benicti. THEORIENT LINE CItUISES FOR 1929 rangefrom the Mediterranean to the Baltic, theFjords of Norway to the Adriatic, the Ho.yLand to Madeira and the Canary Is"., 'ids.FORTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE uas taughtthe Orient Line how to arrange theirCru:se3 so that each country is visited ata season when the climate and scenery areat their best. The Cruiaes, which commencein April and continue until October, varyin length from 13 to 34 days, and ther* isa wide range of fares. Detailed itinerariesand illustrated literature will be sent onapplication.

EXCURSION'S TO CAIRO.Passengers by Orient Line Steamers are

afforded an opportunity oi visiting Cairo,the Pyramids, and Sphinx during ihe passagethrough the Suez Canal, leaving the shipat Suez and rejoining at Port Said.

UNRIVALLED THTRD CLASS.The present standard of the Third Class

of the Orient Line indicates a considerableadvance, and evidence in the progressivepolicy of the Line, the result of 50 years' ser-vice to Australia. Every endeavour is madeto ensure a comfortable and enjoyable voyage.Opportunities for exercise and recreation areafforded by the ample provision of deckspaces and for social life by the well-furnished public rooms. Special care has beeDgiven to ventilation, the most modern systemhaving been installed.

And the Orient Line route by way of Cey-

lon, Egypt, and the Mediterranean is themost attractive route to London. Antiona! attraction to this route is the CairoExcursion, which at a moderate fara enablesThird Class passengers to visit Cairo, tnePyramids, «nd Sphinx, during the passagethrough the Sue* Canal.
