ENTERTAINMENTSREGENT THEATRE.. A powerful Impression'was created-at .the

Regent Theatre- last■ night""by the screeningof' 'The 'Silence of -Dean Maitland," the Aus-tralian Clnesound studios version- of thewell-known story by Maxwell Gray. Withoutdoubt the picture, both technically and artis-tically, Is the finest yet produced by the Aus-tralians. ' The story'ls handled with commend-able taste, and Its salient features arestrongly brought out, while ..the acting andphotography reach a very high plane.' Thepicture has an Australian setting, the storyopening in a 'small seaside town early In thepresent century. Two'young men, Cyill Malt-land, son of, the local rector,, and Henry Ever-ard, a doctor, have Just returned from com-pleting their studies, and "proceed to carry ontheir professions of religion and medicine re-spectively.. .Alma pray, daughter of one ofthe villagers, conceives a passion for Mait'andwhile her name Is also-linked with that ofEverard. who Is in dally'attendance upon herstepmother. Each of tbe young men, how-ever. Is betrothed to the other's sister, and Itis with reluctance that' Maitland secretlymeets Alma at night. Some time later hehears that she-is in trouble, and when he -re-turns to--'discuss the matter 'with' her theyare interrupted at a lonely spot by her In-furiated father. ' A . violent struggle resultsIn Alma's 'father being lulled. By slronclvcircumstantial evidence the crime Is laid VtEyerard's door and. nfter a trial In whichAlma elves false evidence to shield her loverand Maitland keep's silent. Everard Is sen-tencd to 20 years' imprisonment ..for man-slaughter. " When' the term is up Everardreturns with vengeance In his heart but !iemeets the little blind son of Maitland (nowdean of a city parjsh')'ami." after a talk withMaitland. decides to leave. the'latter's pun-ishment in other -hands."- The -conscience-stricken Maitland. however, can keep silentno longer,- and In an intensely dramaticscene, he confesses from his pulpit. Theleading: players are John Longden.

At an intermediate station the womanreporter appears, having noticed on board aman whom she .knows as a Communist, and fromthen until the Yugoslavianborder is reached theplot moves at a fast clip. An accomplished amifast-working thief becomes involved with theother characters, and after" a series of quickevents he is arrested with the Communist andthe dancer in Yugoslavia. The dancer, throughno fault of her own. Is implicated in themachinations of the revolutionist, and the datemerchant (who has suddenly become her flance),arrives in time to collect his- sweetheart andthe Communist, while the. thief is marchedaway to be shot. It Is a well-told story, andwell photographed. Herbert Mundin adds somebright moments to tile dialogue as an EnglishCockney on holiday with his suspicious- wife.A full length picture, "Hold That Girl." isscreened in the first part of the programme, to-gether with a "short" which includes, amongother things, the arrival of Miss Jean Batten,the aviatrix, at Sydney.. MAJESTIC.THEATRE.

Jinx Baer's appearance in the picture"Every Woman's Man," at .the MajesticTheatre this week, is very apt in view of torday's cablegram announcing that the challengerof Primo Camera is not in fit condition to meetthe Italian giant. "Every'Woman's Man" Is apicture that will appeal to both sexes, for Baer,the handsome boxer and. latest recruit toHollywood, is shown as lover, dancer, andladles' man, and dually as the hard-hittingopponent of Camera in a bout that is excit-ing and sensational to the last blow. Baer hasbeen surrounded by a cast including SlyrnaLoy, who plays tho feminine Influence charm-;Ingly, as an' entertainer, as the wife of theboxer—proud of her husband's rise to fame—and then as the disappointed .woman when heturns ladies' man, only to stage a reconcilia-tion when he again makes good in a batter-ing match that puts patrons of the theatreon their toes. Baer plays the young boxerwho in a speakeasy attracts the interest of atrainer when he manhandles two men con-cerned In a brawl." By slow stages he rises tochampionship form, but then comes the de-bacle. Women interfere with the serious busi-ness of the boxer's life, and a wife knows thetorture of jealousy. But love always wins out.even against such odds as Miss Loy has tofight, and what might have been disaster endsin a draw after an epic ten-rpund bout Inwhich' Camera and Baer flght ■ with a will.Great lighters of a past era are seen—Jeffries;Corbett,. Wlllard, Papke, Moran, Blvers, Demp-s'ey,' and others—all adding lustre to one ofthe most sensational pictures seen in Welling-ton for some time. Baer's talents with a bal7let of girls am surprlslus—if he was not aboxer he could easily be a stage star—andMiss Loy reveals singing 'alents of no raeanorder. Men will enjoy the.. spoitins back-ground, and women will like the romance ofthe theme. 'Camera speaks for himself:against |Baer he-is a giant, but the latter Is a puyf-lc-ally perfect specimen and pood to watch. ThereIs a fine supporting programme, including^Laurel and Hardy comedy. . ■ ;

ST. JAMES (THEATRE....Temperament..'with'ai'capital T was possessed

by Eva- Lovelace,' whose stage- ambitions,brought her from a country town to NewYork with a firm determination to storm thefootlights. . She': had the magnificent self-reliance that creates ah airwoman of. the"fly, fly, fly again, type," combined with apersonal self-assertion that would be annoy-ing in most girls, but which Katharine Hep-burn's artistry makes delightful. ■ For it isKatharih'e Hepburn who" stars.

That Mr. HugoLarsen has. been able to associate these-twovery great artists in the one tour Is a tributeto the authority he has set up as a concertImpresario for Australiaand New Zealand.

Middletan-Watkins,dramatic criUcof the London "Daily News," has said: "Therepertory societies' existence and nrowinepopularity is the most hopeful sign of ourhopeless times. Wit may have vanished fromrTllÔnnTSlitI°n> Wi^°ni fl'Om OUr SChoolS,religion from pur churches, and honesty ofpurpose from our conduct; but we need notdespair^ so long as these things are kept aliveby the drama—on the stage of the renertorvtheatre.

It Ismore than any other the kind of theatre Shawmeant when he. ivrote, 'Whatever Bastille fallthe heatre will stand.' " The history of theWellington Repertory Theatre would appear toconfirm this dictum./ Its membership'of aboutone hundred in 1926 has grown to nearly sixhundred today, and the acting resources of itsplaying members are not dredged to provide

an adequate cast for such a powerful play asJohn Galsworthy's "The Show," which calls, ~n,° less than thirty-two performers. Thisthrilling mystery play In three acts and fourscenes contains all the. ingredients which ap-peal to the popular theatre palate; . tragedymystery, comedy, romance, and through allthis_is deftly sifted,a social problem that willprovide food for thought long after the enter-tainment appetite has been appeased.

NEWRUSSIANACTRESS.."NANA" FOR THE REGENT.

Great charm of manner and a Btrikinsscreen pei-sonaJity are attributed to Anna'btern, the: !brilliant Rnssian actress vcho,win make her debut on' the local screenin A ana, the film version of Zola's'-novel, which will open -a season at the'Regent Theatre ehortly. The Russian acti-ress was seen by SamuelGoldwyn hr a.Continental version of "The BrothersJlaramozov,' and he immediately decided-to bring her to Hollywood to train her for.a aim career. "Her debut was delayed for*over eighteen months,however,for Samuel'Goldwyn considered she was an actress'of Biich outstanding talent that it -was'.worth spending a considerable- sum-in"training her in the technique requh-ed foriAmerican pictures. She was also taughtAmerican mariners and customs,-and wai'given carefultraining in thepronunciation'oi ±.nghsh. After a prolonged search fora story which/would show her to best ad-^vantage Zola's novel'was adapted-for the"screen by Willard Mack and Harry Wag-staff Gnbble .'The story, which records;the sudden rise of Nana thrpugli the fav-ôur of Grenier,dean of the Baris music'halls, to-an exalted position on the Paris"stage, and her equallyrapid fall, is handled'with great skill by a talented cast. Thracting of . the actress herself is:said^tobea revelation in its originalitjvrealism,.andcharm,:whilePhillips Holmes'gives one of the best performances of-his career as the handsome youngLieuten-ant George Muffat, in -whom Naria findsthe only real love,of her life. Lionel At-iwill is said to be equally convincing as"ColonelAndre Muffat, George's" elder bro-'----ther,who falls an unwilling" victim toNana s beauty, while Mac Clark andMurial Kirkland, as two of Sana's asso-ciates,and Richard Bennett as Grenier,also contribute excellent performances.

POULTRY NOTES

FEEDING PEOBLEMSTHE VITAMIN THEORY

Considerable experience and abilityare required in order tosecure maximumegg production from the flock. Com-mercial egg production is really justtho turning of the raw material, thatis grain and mash, into eggs; the henbeing the machine for the purpose.Whilst good quality food is desirable,rations must be arranged to suit localconditions. Wheat and maize are thetwo principal grains suitable for feed-ing to fowls, but neither is essen-tial. Oats contain rather too high apercentage of fibre which is not goodfor egg production. Bailey, providedthe skin is not too husky, is a usefulgrain, and peas are used on some farms.In addition to the cost of foods, thetrouble and labour of preparation andfeeding out must also be ' considered.A great deal is said about balancedrations, ■ but the practical poultrymanknows by. the appearance and produc-tion of his flock when they are satis-fied with their food. The hen herself,if allowed her liberty, will balance herown ration, which is one reason whybirds on free rangeusually are healthierthan intensively housed fowls. Thechief points to be considered whenfeeding fowls, consist of keeping thebirds active, especially in the earlymorning; not to overfeed them; to sendthem to roost with full crops, and notto make any sudden change in theirrations or system, of feeding.

N. D. Kay, of New South Wales, re-commends feeding mash in the evening,explainingthat this allows thebirds togo to roost with a full crop of easily-digested food. Certainly tho feedingof a little grain first thing in the morn-ing, provided it is Scattered in deeplitter, is the easiest way of promotingexercise, and a change from the oldroutine of morning mashes would -wellbe worth a trial. Grain is fattening,and at this period of the year, whenthrough heavy production the pulletsare liable to lose body weight, a carefulwatch should be kept on the grain sup-ply, increasing it justas soon as any ofthe birds appear to:be getting lighter.Careful observation in this respect willoften prevent autumn moulting inearly-hatched pullets. Two kinds ofgrain should be- fed,- and during thowinter maize should constitute at leastone-third-of the grain ration, sinceyellow maize contains more vitamin Athan any other grain.. Maize is alsomore fattening than wheat. :

WETANDDRYMASHESDry mash feeding in automatic hop-

pers is verjr common 'on many largeplants, and tests have shown that itIwill produce as good results as theusual.moist mash. ,Disadvantages.in-clude wastage by vermin, such as spar-rows and rats, and the fact that thebirds are inclined to find dry mashesrather unpalatable. When fowls arekept in small units and .on free range,wet mash feeding should be practised,but larger flocks housed intensivelyshould be dry fed. An occasionalfeed of wet mash to dry mash fed budswill increase the consumption of mashand promote egg production. With theusual wet mash,method it is far easierto vary the ration, giving oddmentswhich the- _ birds appreciate,' sincevariety in/feeding is desirable. Sincethe quality of mill offals varies,, it isdifficult to give" exact mixtures formashes,which-must also be consideredin relation to the grain mixture. -Al-lowing that two parts of wheat, onepart maize, and one part fat oats arefed as a grain mixture, the mash couldconsist of 2001b of good-quality pollard,1501b of bran, 1501b yellow maizemeal,and 501b of meatmeal. The addition of1 per cent, salt and 2 per cent, good-quality cod-liver oil will help to makean ideal ration.

Vitamin D is concerned in the useof calcium and phosphorus, and itsabsence will cause rickets, especiallyin young . chicks. This vitamin isusually obtained from green feeds andsunlight, both of which are in shortsupplyduring the winter months. Thusthe 'use '■: of cod-liver oil is' recom-mended during this peiiod, especiallyto young chicks, breeding stock, andbirds that are confined in deep sheds.Good-qualify cod'Hver oil is very richin both vitamins A and D, the formerbeing, obtained only fiom green-foodand a little from yellowmaize. Whilstapparently':expensive, cod-liver oil isconsidered to release more feed valuefrom other foods. It must be usedfresh, and should bo mixed in the- maslithoroughly by first mixing tho desiredquantity with some of the bran, thenrubbing this mixture into the rest ofthe mash mixture before adding theliquid. When" salt is used, and it is avaluable mineral supplement as well astending to increaso consumption, itshould be dissolved in the liquid usedfor mixing the mash. Salt poisoning isnotuncommon, and household fowls-willget sufficient from table scraps.

Although experiments have shownthat fowls will lay well without a goodIsupply of greens, every effort must bemade- to see that the supply is-not-restricted. Tender greensare a naturalfood, supplyingvaluable minerals andsalts in an easily-digestible form. Lu-cerne- and clovers are good, very shortgras7s clippings rare ', ■ excellent, sincethey supply a variety, and any of thecabbage family are appreciated. Redcarrots maj;e a; suitable ■substitute diir-ing/.the winter 'months,- being fairlyrich'in vitamin'A and also supplyingcolouring matter for the ,egg'yolk.

EGGSFORINCUBATIONIt-is usually difficult to save suffi-

cient hatching eggsearly in the season!With large incubators and with breed-ing hens, still recovering from the'moult, it is nbt' possible; to set onlyfresh eggs. Actually eggs should beless than six days old.when placed inan incubator, but average to good re-'suits have been obtained froni eggswhich have been stored as long as fiveand six weeks., It must be remem-bered that stale eggs take longer to.hatch than fresh eggs, so that when"eggs of mixed ages are placed in amachine the ' resulting hatch may"drag" a little at pipping time.

Collect the eggs as soon as possibleafter they are laid,, and do not washthem. Very dirty eggs will not hatchwell, but if only a little dirt is on anegg it can be,scraped off with a bluntknife._ In storing eggs,they should bekept in an even temperature of about50 to 55 degrees. Place them as theywould lay in a nest, and cover with apiece, of flannel. They should beturned at least once daily just as ifthey were being incubated, as tl.iskeeps the yolk free. Very stale epgsshould be placed in. the incubator H4hours before fresh eggs, always provid-ed that two drawers are available andthat carets taken not to chill the eeesalready set., ,' '" ' '...'"- 6-■ ;Fertility at this time of the year isliable .-to~be'poorând,!* a very largemachine .is being used a smaller onecanbe run as a. filler. .If the,'fertility1is as high as usual; there .vrcll be noneed to fill up from the small machine"but usually, and especially with dual-purpose breeds, at least 15 per centwill be' removed by the tenth day'

leaving room for the fertile eggs fromthe smaller machine..If only one machine is being run in

a large room, it is often difficult to'keep up the desired temperature onfrosty nights. Care must be exercisedin turning up the lamp, as too high aflame will smoke and perhaps set fireto tho machine. The best precautionis to run another small lamp in theshed, or a heater of some kind, whichwill assist to keep up the room tem-perature. This precaution' is notnecessarylater in the season whenseveral machines are running. If theeggs are turned twice daily, theyshould be cooled in the morning afterthe temperature is up to 103 degrees,not late in the afternoon, and thelamp should be turned well up if afrosty night is expected.

All incubators should be given a trialrun for at least 48 hours, and ther-mometers should be tested by placingthem in warm Water with a clinicalthermometer. Take care not to havethe water too hot, since they registeronly up to about 110 degrees and boil-ing water - will burst them. If hot-water machines are being used,lift thelamp end up about twelve inches fromthe ground after they are first filledwith water, as frequently an air. blockforms at the far end of the circulatingpipe, which must be romoved. Watermust be put in theboiler before thelamp is lit, and when first warming upthe eggs do not be alarmed if theoverflow pipe floods a little.

CHEAPFOODS

Whenever possible, full use shouldbe made of easily-obtained cheap foods,always provided that they are of goodquality. Many large egg producersbuy in old ■ cows and horses, boilingdown the meat.: These provide one ofthe best protein sources, and the fowlsdearly love their mash mixed withwarm, rich gravy. Usually the gravyis used one morning, and the meatboiled up again and fed shredded thefollowing morning. When boilingdown, oddments such as pig potatoes,barley, maize, and vegetables can beincluded. Scraps from boarding-houses and hotels can sometimes beobtained easily, but they must be quitefresh and sorted. When skim milk isavailable under twopence a gallon themash should be mixed with it insteadof water. If feeding milk, use italways sour or fresh, since a changewill cause bowel trouble. Breadscraps and stale bread canbe obtainedfrom the bakers sometimes,and smallbutchers often have oddments of meatwhich can be collected at little cost.

Costa can be reduced by utilisingthefowl manure and cropping. Silverbeet, clovers,- cabbages, carrots, chou-moUier, and lucerne should all be' pro-duced on the " farm. Watercress^ ifavailable near at hand, is-one "of 'thebest greenfoods, but rmist be chaffed.Even the grit supply c<n,be augmentedby grinding up old china, bones, andshells.

TOPICSforWOMEN

TheSchemeofThingsBy M.H.C.

In view: of the fact that a goodmany people have been ventilating.their opinions on the subject of theservice of women on juries—it is amatter for wonder, in reading some ofthese opinions, what sort of womenkindthe writers must have lived among, orcome "up :against" in/ th& course oftheir existence—it is interesting tocome across the ideas of a woman whois up to date in both good works andopinions. Mrs. A. Littlejohn, of Syd-ney, New South Wales, is one who isknown, even in that city of over amillion people, as a leader in kindnessto her own sex, of all, kinds and agesas one who has worked among thepoorest and Who has been placed by thevotes of many other women in lead-ing positions in the world of women,as represented by councils and associa-tions for good work. Therefore, 'shehas a claim to be heard with respect.Mrs."Littlejohn has been broadcastingrecently in Sydney, and it is not outof place at present to quote■ some ofher conclusions as given by herself.

In the ''Australian Women's"Weekly" the following quotations aregiven:—"In several of the States ofAmerica",and in England women" areeligible for jury service—but, so far,not in Australia. From time to timedeputations have asked that women bepermitted to 3hare in this work ofnational service. It seems a normaland reasonable request, and, in somecases, a necessary adjustment. It hasfrequently happened in assault casesthat young and innocent girls areforced to appear in a witness-box be-fore a Judge, jury, and very often anaudience composed entirely, of males.The latter eventuality occurs when theJudge', referring to the unsavourynature of the case, asks the women (notthe idle men.onlookers and listeners) toleave the Court/which, of course, theyshould refuse to do, as they cannot beforced to'do so. .. .How much moreeasyand sympathetic would the atmos-phere be for the unfortunate girl ifshe saw a few women on the jury tohear her evidence and give(opinion onit! . Would it not give her confidenceto see that there were some, at least,who would understand her predicamentand her sensitiveness?" . . . "Theargument against women jurors is "thatthey must be protectedfrom the revolt-ing evidence!which,they might hear ina courtroom. But they have neverbeen able; to get away from the factsof<life, and have never been ignorantof them and of what they involve, assome people would have us suppose.Court evidence is no more contamin-ating than life is to a number." Mrs.Littlejohn had just returned from thebig conferenceat Stockholm,and thereand in other parts of the Old Worldhad had opportunityof gaining imprcs-

-1 sions, besides those she had gatheredin. her own city and country.

It seems an extraordinary thing tothose women who belong to associa:tions (religious and scculai) whichcome in contact with the seamy sideof life, that they should be supposedto. be "contaminated" by what theyhear. No one talks about lawyers orJudges being '' contaminated," '. orthinks it possible that they should be~ other than the soit of decent living

? and,-thinking people the large major. ityaie. And yet they arc- continuallyhearing the saddest, most tragic, andvery, horrible btories of life as it is,

;.,■ unfortunately, in these later days of- supposed civilisation and leligious be]icf. The same kind of stories come

to tho- women's associations,and themembers deal with them to the bestof their ability, with kindness and areal endeavour to help, but not one ofthose women could be accused of evil-mindednessor lack of delicacy of feel-ing.ln fact, it -might be said thatthey are the last to" stand for '' racystories or jokes, as they know so wellwhat loose thinkingand talking bringsabout among people ■ Whose principlesare not sound and well established. Theprobability is that" these women are'farmore careful in-speech and thoughtthanthoSe who have been "shelteredand protected," so that although thelatter must know what Mrs. Littlejohncalls the "facts of life," they do notknow how easily those facts may be-come menaces.-'There-is no need tothrust them;,on' the very young—-thatwould bo ridiculous; but itr is a factthat many a. film, presents these factsin;a far less cleanly light than is de-sirable, and yet th,eattendance of veryyoung,people goes-on. at-.such shows.Nevertheless, -many "of those who be-long to decent families would be horri-fied at .the" idea-of the young peoplehearing a court case which would" de-.monstrate the evil of loose principlesin thought and conduct and presentfacts in- a most unattractive light, in-stead-of in a picturesque and . amus-ing one, which conceals the harm in aspecious' manner, gradually undermin-ing clarity'of thought oft serious sub-jects. It is far more difficult' to lookat the sins, and tragedies of the worldlightly, when they are understood fromthe real side, than when representedattractively and amusingly, in a waythat often -occurs. -, It,is an "astonish-ing thing to people who have someknowledge of the miseries disclosed incourt eases,- that more do'not avoidthe circumstances that lead "up to them.The usual finding is that ignorance- isat;the<iroot of a great deal.

These ' opinions do hot .mean thatthere should be open'discussions ofserious matters of the kind referred tobetweenpeople-with' 'raw" ideas; such,conducted with "a certain amount of de-fiance of frivolity, 'could lead to nogood purpose, but..for those who havehad experience in life to try to showthose without ,any -or■■■with only' thewrong kind, some good might be done.The courts show life in its saddest andworst phases., These exist, more com-monly than most ! people' 'suppose, forthere are many-cases: of.. the kind thatdo: not;reach>the 'courts.at a11,.-and,' ifMrs; Littlejohn is .right (as" many willthink she is), a definite help would begiven to/girl 'and' women witnesses ifthey had an audience of some of theirown sex, instead of one entirely con-sisting of-men.-" -It-'■seehi's-very illogicalto only allow one sex.to adjudicate foranother rNojnen would be willing tohave only women furors, and, in thosedays of wider thought, women havethe same shrinking from what might,and sometimes does lead to ' definitenon understanding—injustice.

It is true that a large number ofwomen dislike intensely the idea'of sit-ting on a mixed—or, in fact—on. any■jury. There is no doubt that it is aparticularly disagrecablo prospect 'inmany ways, but the wider point "ofview should bo taken, and the good ofthe unfoitunate guls and women whoaro in despciato trouble should comefirst, an,d if, as seems reasonable tosuppose, they would receive some com-fort in seeing womenkind about, in-stead iof all. menkind,: the: sacrifice: oftime, and inclination -should bo made.

OURSKETCH.

Written for "The Pott" by Germain*.

PARIS,-April 18.No fashions appear'more startling

than tho new jackets and dresses,thefronts and backs of which are in two.different colours. Towards an uhsus-.peeting male may. stroll a damsel,,cladin unobtrusive ,brownj or black, butshould he turn his head to glance after,her she may appear garbed in asbright:red.- Perhaps women"thus attired-mayfeel that they have solved the problemof wearing two outer garments at thesame time. ' . ....

The other dayI was startled by whatappeared to be:a total disappearanceof a smartly-dressed woman in black,who had passed me a..moment before.I looked Tound,and saw a figure in agay leopard-skin coat, a perfect caseof the leopard being able to change itsspots!

"SNAPPY" IN MORE SENSESTHAN ONE,

Dresses which are "snappy" inmore senses ,than pne, are the latestnovelties of the Paris dress-designers.Not only must, the now gown look"snappy," but it may also have a"snap" about it in tho literal sense.Materials are.now woven with elasticthread in them which will stretch andcontract to every movement of thewearer. I saw an clastic blouse shownby a well-known house the other day,,and watched the mannequin makingher tour of the salon: ■■.. . ■ .";.-"■-..

No_ woman was' content just to seethe lines and perhaps feel the fabric,but she caught the blouse, drew it to-wards her, and released her hold sud-denly in order to test the "snap."Quite a new thought for the. modernwoman to have in her mina when shegoesto choose a garment..String and broadcloth are two ofthe curious materials in which dress-makers are preparing the beachclothes and accessories for the summerholidays, "regular desert islandstyles, as someone remarked. Sandalsof woyen^string, string bathing dresses,and dyed string bracelets and beltsand other ornaments, are all dh thetpis; ~ ° comPlete the desert-islandeffect there are necklaces . which looklike, shark's teeth strung togetherquite roughly and resembling the orna-'ments Worn by certain native tribes. :THBEE NEW COLOURS ,■

There are three; new colours whichwill cause interest this year, a clear,sunny-goW,yellow called "Jaune Im-perialeV'—a pale, Madonna blue, "Sis-tine blue," and an .elusive rosy-pinkcalled "Bose Quartz,'.' The fourthfavourite is mulberry. Other fashion-able colours include orange-juice andonyx jay's wing, and Mazarine, rust,pantile, and;brick-reds and bronze-browns. Green is.apparently to retainits popularity.. Shades range from"watercress" to vivid emerald Acolour which I can only describe as a'dull tangenne, is admirably suited to.the brunette. Beige shades in varioustints ranging from grey to orange, arefavourites.- The idea' of a matching en-semble is very noticeable, smart beretsin like materials. or felt hats toningexactly with the coat and dress theyaccompany. The general trend-is to-wards brighter colours.

COME TO BED.The backless evening dress has goneto bed. Women who wear the smartcover-up frock for'evening sleep in a

Allow the.leaves to.standin this for at least a week,'then' liftout and arrange as desired in bowlswith berries or odd flowers.The leaveswill require no water after this steep-ing in glycerine, arid although some ofthe vivid tones of red and gold willgradually become brown, the leaveswill still have a rich warmth of tonethat is beautiful. : ' : " :

Leaves can be arranged most effec-tively in either pottery jars,, clearamber-coloured glass, copper jugs,'orbrass bowls, and used either by them-selves or with any of ' the autumnberries are more effective'than'themost expensive of autumn flowers.

There are almost as many kinds ofautumn berries as there are' flowersduring the summer months; and it 'isamazing how little scraps from varioustrees and shrubs in the garden can begrouped into the most delightful decora-tive arrangements. ■>-~-":■

THE VASE OF BERRIES.In every, garden there is an .old

gnarledrose bush, which does not haveparticularly beautiful blooms, butwhich, in autumn, is covered:with large,gay, yellow, rose; berries (called rosehips). Someof the rambler rose familyseed also, and long sprays of-smallscarlet and orangeberries can be pluck-ed from the fence or, trellis. The blackberries from the privet. hedge/, driedaeedpods of montbretiaon long spidery-stalks, the,tiny .green gumnuts' fromwhich all the leaves have .been stripped,briar berries from the countryfield, andother garden oddments,may be usedmost successfully. The hawthorn' hedgewill yield masses of dull red berries,and if the garden boasts a tree. of. themore , aristocratic branch of thisfamily, with large yellow or vivid.scar-let berries, so much the better. Someof the prunus trees have tiny red plumsscattered here and there through the.deep purple' red leaves, and these addanother contrast to the clear gold oflinden, silver birch, and , golden , ashleaves.

The "snowball" bush, :which scat-ters its white snow of blossom earlyrinspring, turns the most vivid/tone's ofred.arid yellow,in autumn, arid is mosteffective used in a dull green potteryjar with sprays of wild cherry or otherevergreen. The silver birch is decora-

Are cold and wet iarmful? (asks.the"Glasgow Weekly 'Herald"). Opinionis divided on this point, but there canbe no doubt that winter weather sub-stantially lowers the vitality. Peoplewho are below par 'arei more liable toget infectious diseases than'when theyare fit, and it'is foolish to imagine thatone can make oneself hardy by 'sud-denly going about h.' the winter with-out an overcoat., Naturally ■ hardypeople can remain warm in coldweather without extra clothing: otherscan, winter by winter, graduallyaccus-tom themselves to *" lighter' clothing,while: others have to realise that theyare differently constituted.

London Fashion NotesSpecially Written for "The Post."

LONDON, April 13.The close affinity between fashion

and the movies becomes increasinglyevident to anyonewho makes a specialstudy of the origin of fashion trends.

"Which of these two sources of in-spiration originate the mode is still adebatable point, for although the filmcompanies employ expert dress design-ers to keep their production's justaheadof fashion, certain styles only achievepopularity after a film has been shownto the public. The success of periodfilms has resulted in anumber of Tudorhalo hats and head-dresses,full, slashedsleeves, and laced bodices;and "Cathe-rine the Great's" tricorne is one oftho leading fashions in the spring mil-linery showings.

Mac West nearly started a vogue forfeathered millineryI But not quite,for women decided that one plume pnahat was ageing, let alone three.

Englishwomen are still conservativeenough to feel these coquettish fashionsdo not fit in with 1934 simplicity, but Ihear that women in New Yorlc havegonecrazy over the black velvet mush-room hat worn by Anna Sten in tho"'Lady of the Boulevards."I very much doubt whether the

modern edition is as lavishly primmedwith paradise plumes as the film orig-inal, but'certainly this coquettish littletilted hat seems to have a good dealin common with present-day millineryfashions. These are so numerous andso drastically different that last year'ssummer hat which we have carefullycherished, feeling there was a lot more

wear in it, looks completely wrong, andwith fresh models arriving every fewweejes equally revolutionary in trendthereseoms little hope of achieving anyeconomyin this .direction.The newest tricorne is being'adaptedto suit young -faces, as' well as themiddle-aged woman, to whom, it -isalways flattering. These fare gay andyouthful, tilted to reveal'tho forehead,made in fine.. s.traws.. or dull silks andsatins, with awreath of white camelliasor gardenias, half on; the hat and halfon the head. The older woman ■wearsher tricbrne at a, straightcr angle, andI have sketches ■'a ' very attractivemodel carried out in two colours—either silk' arid velvet, all silk, or strawplait.and-silk. ~, ; ~..The Oriental trend in fashion has re-sulted in the '^coolie" hat. ■ This isbeing shown in large and-'.small sizes,sometimes, trimmed, on the top, of thepointed,crown to. match the head ban-deau, which secures a comfortable fit.Another little Chinese hat in felt or

straw, with a brim that turns up allthe way round is simply trimnied witha tassel attached to the top of ' thecrown.Theso Oriental millinery styles areusually shown with loose three-quarter,

coats that have a round collarless neck-line, and fastened close to the throat,giving a suggestion of a Mandarin'scoat. Some of the new flat-crownedhats aro being raised at the back onbandeaux, which are trimmed withclosely-packed flowers or loops of rib-bon. These are more suitable, fordressy occasions, while a similar hathas the brim slightly rolled up at the.back, but no bandeau to tilt it for-ward, and is simply trammed with Aribbon tied round the crown and littlebow in front, a light ribbon on a darlchat being particularly fashionable. j

But someversion of the Breton sailorwill probably be "every woman's"hat this season. There are innumer-able varieties of this sailor style, whichhas a' simplicity that will make ageneral appeal, but looking so very dif-ferent from the "pull-on"shape whichthey, will repla.ce. " ■

REMEMBER YOUR HAIR.While we accept hats inspired by the

Tudor period, early Russian and Orien-tal style,we are apt to forget that theynearly always demand a style of hair-dressing peculiarly suited to them.v

These shallow-crowned tilted shapesthat suggest a: "Watteau picture wereoriginally worn on heads whose ownerswillingly spent hours over their elabo-

rate curls! And while no modernwoman could or. would sacrifice somuch time as that'she should concen-trate On keeping her head well-groomed.Neat, closely-fitting curls and deep widewaves are demanded by this season'smillinery which reveals so: much: ofthe hair.

That roll of hair in the neck, appar-ently tho remnants of a "Garbo"style which their wearers grew with somuch agojiy that they cannot bear tosacrifice it, looks all wrong with thenew hats. If you do not wish to cutthe hair again you must take time toroll it up in closo curls placed-againstthe back of the head. Nothing looksworse than a space between the tiltedhat and curls which rest on. the neck.The style of both hat and hairdressirig'.is ruined. !

So watch tho films for styles, butchoose only those which will fit inwith the youthful simplicity which re-mains the fashion ideal of 1934. :'

FIFTYYEARSAGO- ITEMS FKOM" THE POST "GOVERNMENT DEFEATED

This time fifty years ago the poli-tical situatioa in New Zealand was de-cidedly interesting. "The Govern-ment is beaten," says the . leadingarticle in "ThePost" of June12,1884."In a House of 73 members a major-ity of nine has declared that theAtkinson Administration no longerpossesses the confidence of Parliament.Had the full House voted, the resultwould probably have been only to in-crease the majority. After so manyyears' tenure of office, Major Atkin-son's downfall has been sudden and- swift. The whole of the circumstancesattendant on the crisis have been ofthe most extraordinary nature. Firstof all there was the singular spectacleof two distinct votes of no-confidencebeinggiven notice of at the same time.Then came the still more singular spec-tacle of the Premier affecting to treatone of these notices with contempt,because it did not, he thought, emanatefrom, one of his peers. He would notcondescend to meet Mr. Steward inmortal .combat. This was an affecta-tion akin to the man who desired to behung by a silken rope instead of ahempen one. It was a great mistake onMajor Atkinson's part, and hastenedhis end. The Ministry must noweither resign or go to the country. Theproper constitutional course is certain-ly for the Ministry to resign, and ifits advice is asked for by his Excel-lency, to recommend that Sir GeorgeGray be sent for. He would probablyaccept officeon the understanding thatan immediate dissolution be granted.Woshould be glad to hear tonight fromMajor Atkinson that he has - adoptedthis course, but we doubt whether hewill have the.courageto take it. Officeis very, dear to him; and he will beloath to relinquish it. He may cling-to the hope, which, will certainly be afallacious one, that the country will bofound to regard his policy and adminis-tration with greater favour than theHouse.has done." ■: ■

.NEARER HOME."The magnificent passage made by

■the :Euapehu on her last voyage toLondon excited general astonishment,and the New Zealand Shipping Comlpany was warmly congratulated on thepossession of a vessel capable of sucha performance as to steam from NewZealandto England in the unprecedent-ed time of 37 days 20 hours, exclusiveof stoppages. Our cable messages'to-day inform us that the Tongariro, hersister-ship, has accomplished the samevoyage in eight minutes less time, butfor practical purposes we may acceptthe two times as tho same. The import-ance of the news lies in the establish-ment of the fact that the quick tripof the Kuapehu was no fluke. We arenow able to assumewith confidencethatthe Home voyageby our direct line hasbeen reduced to 40 days or under, in-'elusive of all stoppages. This is a factwhich will be appreciated at its truevalue by both, business men and" tour-ists. It means that, by use of thecable in ordering goods, consignmentscan be to hand in six weeks; it means: that-atrip can be made Home and backagain, allowing a month in England,in four months. And it means a closerbond-of union with the Old Country.We are now, though;still 16,000 milesaway, in. effect closer to Great Britainthan: America was fifty years ago withonly the 3000 miles of the. Atlanticintervening. Then, it was^ not at allan uncommon thing'for;a sailing; shipto be 60 days in going across, and any:thing under 50 days was a good pas»:sage. -The'fact is, steam and'electric-ity are making the world smaller, andsmaller. Communicationis now so'per-fect that "actual distance apart, as in-dicated by so many miles, is becominga factor of little moment in estimatingthe relations possible rbetween one por-tion of .the glbbe and'another. To nonation is this truth of so much import-ance as to the English,-whose coloniesand dependencies are scattered over-the,whole earth." ■

RICH TARANAKI LAND."Mrl William Courtenay, a well-

known Taranaki settler, is leaving forEngland on' admission .to try. and in-duce the emigration of capitalists andothers to take up land in1 the Taranaki. district near Stratford. He says thatall that is wanted to make New Ply-mouth a thriving place is capital andpopulation. He had,never seen richerland anywhere than - that extendingfrom Stratford thirty miles inland.Koromiko was growingin great luxuri-ance, and the fern was over six feethighland half, an inch through thestem. There was'a large quantity ofopen- land, some, of , which would paymagnificently to cultivate. The com-mencement of this fine country wasonly'six miles from Stratford, and yetit was a terra incognita. The resultof Mr. Courtenay's self-imposed mis-sion will be looked for with in-terest." .';' .

FROZEN RAJBBITS."Two hundred arid ~ twenty frozen

rabbits were shippedVtpVLondon by thes.s. Victory. We''could -well spare twohundred and twetity thousand) and if aprofitable- export;trade":in'r'abbits couldbe established/ itmight help to solveone of the most puzzling questions ofthe day. W«:'fear/however, that theprice which they, would-fetch in theLondon market'iWptild'scarcely pay forthe careful preparatory- -ireatment towhich «ach individual .Icarc'ass wouldhave to be submitted." ■

TIRE AND WATER."For years Wellington,even with, its

comparatively slight water supply, hashad fewer fires than any other townof half its size in the colony, and yetit has patiently paid for the theoreti-cal risk arising from the fact of mostof its buildings being of wood and thewater supply being insufficient and dc-feetive. The' insurance companieshave taken full advantage of this, bymeans of combination, to enforcerackrates. The time, however, has now ar-rived for Wellington to assert its lightto as low a rate of insurance as pre-vails in any other city in the colony.No one have witnessed the magni-ficent display' of water power, derivedfrom the Wainni-o-mata main, thattook place in Featherston Street yester-day as a demonstration as to what isnow available for fire-extinction pur-poses without being convinced that theoccurrence of any large fire is nowpractically impossible. ' When the bri-gade can bring four jets into playthrowing water to an altitude of 100feet; when the number of .jets can beincreased to 16 with an inconsiderabledecrease in the height reached, andwithout any interference with the or-dinary pressure, it is evident thatwater must in future hold the mastery-over fire in Wellington. Wellington isnow therefore entitled to look to theinsurance companies for an immediateand substantial reduction in rates. Itwill no longer; with its present pro-tective water supply, be content to bemulcted in unfairly excessive rates inorder to provide funds to rebuild otherless efficiently protected towns." "

NO VOTES FOR WOMEN."In the House of Commons the Re-presentation'of tho People Bill wasagain under consideration in Commit-

tee. An amendment which had beenintroduced for the purpose of extend-ing the Parliamentary franchise towomen was, after debate, negativedon division by a majority of 130. Inthe course of the debate Mr. Glad-stone said that the Government wouldnot be answerable for the Bill if theamendment was carried."

NATURENOTESBIRDS IN THE INTEEIOE

LAKE TAUPO REGION

(By 8.-H. D. Stidolph, E.A.O.XT.)In the interior of the North Island ';.'

in the southern portion of the Auek- ' .land district, are extensive areas "offern country, all easy undulating landclothed in a meagre vegetation. The,road from Tirauto Atiamuri and.Wai- >rakei, for instance,, passes .through,many miles of such country, ■which pro-vides little variety to the traveller. It;is.not to be expected that bird life"iswell represented in' areas rather, de- .-fieient of adequate cover, but. all: the ■'"same there are: certain species which '.'appear to thrive evenin these unattrac-tive regions. Most of them, however, .are species that are .widely, .spread '■;■throughout.the whole of New Zealand.The grey warbler, one of the mostcharming native birds.that this country;possesses," is" equally at tome'in; this r;class of- vegetation as-it is in the gar-" -dens and plantations of the settlers andtownresidents or in thebush. Anothercommon bird, the silver-eye, also ap-'';pears everywhere' there is any sort <of ' Vvegetation, and with the'warbler, it is :."the most conspicuous of the smaller 'native species. Where there is waterand an abundance of- insect food th*ei ;pretty little pied fantail finds the con-ditions suitable to its mode of life. The,'/pipit or ground lark is quite numerous, ;';'.as there are plenty of good fossicking "grounds. Overhead the harrier wingsits way in search of food. The most *notable inhabitant of! this country, 'however, is the fern-bird, a little-/'"?known species,; which is not uncommon - -.*"in areas of this type' and also in/,swamps. It is easily passed over, and 'its presence in/a district is often, :;:known only-to the keenest observer. ' ' -'""

"Vast areas of this fern country ara '. ;being transformed into - man-made > ";-forests, and the road to Atiamuri and ■"'Wairakei passes right ,*through theheart of them. Even the topmost' .peaks of the highest hills have been. 'planted .with Pinus insignis, and the .'-*-'.■whole appearance of the landscape has *been altered. ■ The bulk- of the' treesare not yet of any height, but: when \they become matured it will be interest-ing to compare the bird life of theseexotic forests with that existing priorto their establishment. No doubt" thefern-bird will be driven away, as it is r

not a bird.of the/forest. The. warbler- 'and the silver-eye, however, wil] find..;the Pinus insignis just as suitable totheir mode of life, but the harrier and ,the pipit -will probably forsake theseregions for more open country. These -two birds have gained in territory tre-mendouslysince the settlement of.New;Zealand, as vast areas of forest havebeen cleared into farm lands, and have rextended the range.of these birds be-. '!yond bounds. Other birds wiil,no doubtbe attracted to these pine", forests.' Oathe Kaingaroa' Plains the first bird to .appear ;in the newly-established"plantar ;tions is the hedge sparrow, an importa- -tion from England. Native birds to be 'seen in. these,forests include the pied .fantail, the silver-eye, the tomtit, and"1-",the grey warbler, while in the exotioforest near Whakarewarewa, at Roto-rua, the bell-bird js.-.to be heard. In-*. ."troduced birds seen" in the'"\Vaiotaptiplantations include the chaffinch, yeWlow hammer, song thrush, blackbird,and goldfinch. Even the. native pipitstill, persists along theroad. .', .... At Wairakei, where some Pinus ia« "signis trees planted many years ago :have-grown to a large size, the more-pork is to be heard at nightjand this "bird will probably,readily seize thechance to extend its range in thesenearby forests. Along the banks ofthe Waikato River in this neighbour-hood are some choice clumps of nativatrees,: especially-near the AratiatiaRapids, where there are many largemanuka trees of great: interest.' .Por-tion "of "this area, unfortunately;' hasbeen-vdevastated by fire. -There is only ■one safe rule to adequatelyprotect this :reserve" (it is a ■ scenic reserve), andthat is to' prohibit the lighting of: firesaltogether. Ther(e is" a considerableamount of inflammable.material about, ..and. the danger:from.fire is.a real one.-The river' at this spot is a seething 'cauldron,but justabove the rapids aresome quieter reaches,on which smallparties of grey ducks may be' seen;. .Along the banks the warbler, pied fan-* ■tail, and " silver-eye make their homes, "and on the roadside the pipit' greets the- ~_-visitor with evident joy.> There is not.':'much more variety in, the bird life-around: the eastern-shores of ; LakeTaupo, where low- scrub .predominates* .-;It is stated that a rather rare nativebird is found'oh Lake Taupo, the black-billed gull, but the writer saw no signCof it during a hurried visit- to thelocality.- TheblacV-Viil^ûll must notbe confused with" 'th"e^Jted-billed.gullor kittiwake as it.is frequently.called.It is : almo'st-':'fentirely! a ■ South Island;bird, and brfeeds')in. large numbers oasome of the Canterbury river beds.

MORBID HYSTERICS

Though' in some of the greatmovements of culture and philan-thropy the United States still con-tinues to "lead the world, it is alsoconspicuous for the laxity and cor-ruption of its public administra-tion, for the scale and the powerand the impunity of its admirablyorganised crime, for the revoltingand demoralising extravagance withwhich crime is exploited by thePress, and for the epidemics ofpopular hysteria by which the nor-mal apathy on the subject is occa-sionally varied. ' .,;"When city records show, writes Mr.Richard "VV. Child in his "BattlingtheCriminal" (1925), that half the violentoffenders escape arrest and half thosearrested escape, conviction, and thattwo-thirds of those"convicted are sen-tenced to inadequate punishment, andhalf of those who are sontenced arecoddled by, the -sentimentalists, it'_ issensible to jump away from the crimi-nal-coddling business and give ourenergies,, not to excuso and forgive-ness, but to punishment.

As crime is one of the few greatindustries in which ener-gies have not been cramped by thedepression, we may assume that.thisterrible indictment still stands. Itis,1- however, not ,in the kind of cod-dling denounced by-Mr. Child,butin the admiration, not to say wor-ship of the criminal, and in the com-plete failure to trust him accordingto his deserts that the impotence ofthe authorities and the sentimental-ism of the"public have been recentlyrevealed.

" In the "Literary Digest" of May,5 an article headed "Dillinger CaseStirs Nation's Press to Sarcasm,"opens as follows:—- The ; .widespread man-hunt forAmerica's Public" .Enemy No. 1, 'the32-year-old John Dillinger, by an armyof 5000 ,police officers, sheriffs, Fed-eral agents,and even some Indians, haskept news wires humming for weekswith stories of the almost incredibleexploits and escapes of this daring andelusive young desperado and gaol-breaker.

Since his* first arrest in SeptemberDillinger had been in, and out ofgaol several times, had been chased,we were about to say, over fiveStates,'butdiscover in time that it,.was "the centre of the man-hunt"that.extended to tfiye States, had atleast six murders to his credit androbberies innumerable. " Yet in oneof the happy interludes .when theauthorities had him under lock andkey they showed,.that,they' did notforget' that,he was a man and . abrother. '- ■

" While photographers took countlesspictures, says the "Digest's" report,Sheriff Holley and other authoiities

■posed with It was a triumphfor justice. Dillinger stood before thocameras, leaning affectionately "withione arm on the shoulder of Robert G.Estill, County Prosecutor. It was anaPPy> smiling family, until Dillingerescaped two days later by 'bluffing his.way out with a wooden gun.-It was from the Crown Point:Gaol in Indiana, reputed to be "thestrongest and finest county -prisonin the nation," that Dillinger madehis escape' in this simple fashion,yetit was appropriate that, if the curtainhad to be rung down on thosescenes of rural bliss, the ' signalshould .have been given by nothingharsher than a wooden'gun. Thesame,domestic atmospherewas after-wards extended to New Zealand bythe."talkie" in which Dillinger,senior, with whom on April 8 hisdistinguished son spent a happySundayin the home town of Moores-ville, Indiana,'"and enjoyed "a finehome-cooked'dinner," told us thatthe. boy was not as.black as.he"waspainted, and that we ought;not tobelieve everything i that appeared inflic papers. But,', though accordingto- a :New JYork'message of May"25,Dillinger seems; to'have "since addedat least^two more--murders' to-hislist, it seems highly probable'thathis fame suffered at any rate a tem-porary'eclipse from the astonishingevent which, oddly enough, was tak-ing place at Dallas, Texas, on thesame day. We were informed atthe time that Clyde Barrow, consid-ered to be the South-West's chiefoutlaw, and his companion incrime, Bonnie Parker, the "tigerwoman," who were "wanted' formore than a dozen murders, severalikidnappings, , and numerous bankrobberies" had been shot dead on■May 22'or 23 by the Texas policewhile speeding at 85 miles an hourin a motor-car. ' The particulars,of their funeral,as supplied -yester-day, show that it tresulted »in sucha,violentriot of stupid, indecent,1and nauseating sentimentality as canhardly have been surpassed even inthe, annals of American hysteria.

To .her principal occupations ofjrobber and murderer Bonnie Parker,we are told, added that of a poet,and in this. capacity she had cor-rectly , prophesied that she andBarrow would die together. Uglyand unpleasant in .their lives, intheir death theywere not divided;but her hope that they1 would beburied together was not fulfilled.They were buried at the same time,but not in the same grave. The

momentous distinction may wellhave appeared of capital importanceto the idiots whose breaking heartsfound expression.

Thousands. fought and scrambled togot a final view of tho bodies, whichwore displayed by the undertakers,Bonnie having her machine-gun underher arm. The doors of tho funeralparlour wero torn from their hinges bythe howling mob, which containedtwice as many women as men. Someofthe sightseers arrived by aeroplaneand the highways wero choked withcars.

For the last ten years at any ratethe gangsters of Chicago have madea strong point of their funerals. In■his biography of Al Capone Mr.Fred. D. Pasley dates what he calls"the gangster funeral era" from theobsequies of O'Banion in November,1924. ; With a 10,000-dollar casket

which had been bought in the Eastand brought to Chicago in a specialexpress freight car he certainly gaveit a good start. Mr. Pasley quotesfrom a "sob sister's" description ofthe scene as follows:—

Silver angcls> stood at the head andfoot with their heads bowed in thelight'of ten candles that binned in solidgolden candlesticks they held in theirhands. Beneath tho casket, on themarble, slab that supports its glory, isthe ascription, "Suffer little childrento comeunto me." Ana-over it all theperfume of flowers.Among the twenty-six truck-loads offlowers -"worth'-50,000 dollars, themost thrilling item was a basket ofroses W th the. simple .inscriptionFrom Al» for O'Banion had beenUpone s most dangerous rival, andLaponehad arrangedhis murder. Weare told nothing of the cost of theflowers at Dallas or of any Scripturetext "TWshall do no murder-would not-have-done,'for it was amurderess that was being honouredwith the instrument of her murdersunder her arm. -' It was this happy in-spiration.' of the,- undertakers—ormorticians;' as they are called» inAmerica—that constituted b;ne of theunique features of the display, anddoubtless accounts for much of thefury with which the "howling mob"fought for admission.

The other unique feature was thatthe object of this appalling demon-stration was a woman. As her matewas reckoned to be. thechampion out-law pf the South-West, it is clear thatthe tiger woman" must be putbelowhim in the honours list of crime. Butfor aman to play the tiger is amatteror no great merit, whereas a "tigerwoman" is a thing of note. BonnieParker had burst the invidious bar ofher sex and was entitled to win onthe handicap due to her on thataccount. The'recognition of her vic-tory as a sex victory is indicatedbythe fact that two-thirds of the howl-ing mob that fought for a sight ofher body with the machine-gun underits arm were women. In ordinary;life most of these women are doubt-less sane and decent and well-behaved. Even man sometimes suffersfrom the same inconsistency, and asMrs. Poyser said, woman was madeto match him.

ISCHEAPMONEYCHEAP?Just now, especially in rural com-

munities, expectations appear to befairly general that lower rates formoneywill presently rule in New Zea-land. Mr. W. G. Gallagher, retiringchairman, of. the Lyttelton HarbourBoard, evidently*shares that view. Heassumed the role of prophet whenhe said he thought 3 per cent, wouldbe the normal rate. Mr. NortonFrancis, speaking to farmers atAshburton., is reported to have said:"It seems probable that we in NewZealand shall see money lent outiatlower rates than have ever been ex-perienced here." There is no deny-ing the popularity of the cry forcheap money. Supporters of thismethod of recovery may possiblypoint to British policy; but in doingso,they must compare conditions andmethods—especiallymethods. Cheapmoney as an aid to industrial revivalmaybemost valuable in an industrialcountry in competition with the Con-tinent. It may be anything but help-ful in New Zealand if it is achievedby compulsory reduction of interestrates,, conversion under threat of a33 1-3 per cent, penalty, and theissue of £20,000,000 in ReserveBanknotes, (a'thinly-disguisedloan withoutinterest). Highly artificial cheapen-ing such as this which is not on theBritish model is unlikely to have theBritish result.

" Further, is no thought to begiven to where the cheap money isto-come from and'the consequencesof-a depressionin the capitalmarket?First of all .the'money that is to becheapened is not that of the bor-rower,' but, in countless instances, ofpersons'who have taken to heart thewords of St. Paul to Timothy: "Ifany provide not for his own " " "he is'worse than an infidel." They'have put their savings out at interestindividually and collectively, asthrough friendly societies or mutuallife assurancesocieties; and in doingso'have rendered'service to industry.The interest is their reward. Werethey culpable in doing this? If theywere An the wrong then they havebeenseverely,punished on the admis-sion of Mr. Francis,himself,if hewas correctly reported at Ashburtonwhen he said the non-payment of in-terest "in many cases caused terriblehardship to those who were entirelydependenton tKeir mortgage'interestfor their means of livelihood." Arethese people, the lenders on mort-gages, to be still further sacrificed?It is estimated that one-tenth of theformerbusiness inmortgages isbeingput through today; in fact,the farmmortgage market is deserted. Will itagain attract investors if rates arestill further depressed?, But the real . dangers of cheapmoney cannot; be over-emphasised.History shows that cheap money andplenty of it was the root cause of thegreat depression in Australia in theearly nijieties, and New Zealand wasinvolved in it, too. Professor Shannhas shown in plain and forceful sen-

tences how a flood of cheap moneyfrom England, some £37,500,000,was poured into the colonialTreasuries ofAustralia, and he adds:The colony or loader who- failed toborrow money so freely offered wasregarded as lacking faith.in Australia'sfuture, as almost .conservative. - " '■

Nevertheless, the predictions of "con-servatives" in Australia in the lattereighties proved correct. Cheap moneynow, asthen, is productive of boomsand booms inevitably burst. NewZealandneeds recovery, arid some ob-servers profess to see hopeful signsof that recovery, but if cheap moneyis likely, as it has done in thepast, tobe followed by a boom, especially inland, thenit will not be cheap in thelong run, but positively harmfulin its consequences. The lesson ofthe Australian boom and its disas-trous sequel should be learned andtaken to heart by those advocates ofcheap money with vision extendingbeyond the immediatefuture of NewZealand.

ACHEERINGEFFORT

There is something cheering, almostinspiring, in the attempt by Mr. A.P. Herbert to prosecute the Houseof Commons for a breach of its ownlaws. The ground for the.' prosecu-tion does not matter much. Mr.Herbert has wittily satirised in"Punch" the law's limitationson pub-lic liberty, and in theproceedings re-ported recently healleged illegal saleof liquor in the refreshment roomsof the House of Commons. TheChief Magistrate refused to issuesummonses, saying: "The House ofCommons is not ruled from BowStreet Court";so, for the time, Mr.Herbert's praiseworthy effort hasfailed though he has declared he willapply to the High Court. But. thatdoes not matter a great deal either.The'cheeringfact is that a citizen hasendeavoured "to express his disap-proval of the laws, not by disobey-ing them, but by legal action againstthe authors. There were^people whoobjected to Parliament in the past.The Stuart Kings dissolved it, andCromwell locked it out. But theordinary titizen has none" of theseprivileges. Even if he is encour-aged by the efforts of some peopleto end one Parliament he knows thatthis is done only go that they mayput another in its place. Mr. Herberthas had a brighter[ hope, developedno doubtfrom his own record of theprosecution - (at the instigation of apublic-minded citizen) of. the Com-missioner of' Police and other mem-bers of the Force for conspiring toprocure the sale of cigarettes andchocolates after hours. ,How far the.principle of the "Misleading Cases"might' be appiied,in correcting theerrors of' the legislators it is impos-sible 'to say. But it would be inter-esting to see an attempt to controlthe working hours of legislators,with a quota, or even a prohibitionof further law-making because thesupply is even now in excess pf theeffective demand. This might befollowed by prohibition of publicspeech-making, for as Mr. Herberthas elsewherestated: "It maywell heargued that if all public men couldbe persuaded to remain silent for sixmonths the nation would enter uponan era of prosperity such as it wouldbe difficult even for their subsequentutterances to damage."

A heavy fog causing complete dark-ness at 4 o'clock upsot the qualifyinground during the Masterton golftourney last Saturday. Among thosewho were caught in the fog were D. C.Collins, J. P. Hornabrook, and H." D*.Brinsden. Those players played thelast five holes in. the darkness, and itsays much for their accuracy thatHornabrook's 70 and 71 and Collins's76 and 75 were first and third on thequalifying list. Hornabrook's last fourholes.in the dark were 3344. threebirdies and a bogey. The methodadopted by the players -was to sondfore-caddies ahead and after they hadhit they called "right,"- "left," or'straight," and. the caddies^ thenlistened and searched. ■ .Car lights were.turned on at,the clubhouse, as many ofthe players quite lost thesir sense ofdirection. It .was quite impossible tosee a man. standing on the*green fiftyyards"* away. /. , 'If a Quota Comes.

"Quotas are naturally repugnant toany developing country, and we prefernot to hear about them," said Mr DJones, chairman of the Meat Pro-ducers' Board, in addressing a gather-ing of farmers in Timaru, states tho"Timaru Herald." Mr."Jones followedhis openingremarks in regard to quotasby saying ' that the. British farmers'side of the question was one towardswhich, this country could not shut itseyes. . The British farmer today wasin a, pretty serious position financiallyIn fact, ho was at such a low ebb thattho Government had. decided that itwould not'see him ruined. So far asNew Zealand mutton and lamb wereconcerned, the speaker was .confidentthat there was no need to worry re-garding a quota. The position regardingprimary produce looked to be on 1much sounder basis than two yearsago." If quotas were going to comogenerally, then there would need to beanN- extraordinary amount of super-vision or Government control. Peoplewere apt to say that there should beless Government in business, but ifquotas wore coming, there would haveto be effective executive control, withpractically dictatorial powers, if theposition was going to be run and car-ried through successfully. The Gov-ernment would undoubtedly have in-creased responsibilities, and there wouldhave to be increased control over thesecondary industries as 'well. Therewould have to be a pretty capable Par-liament to face the problems which lieahead.

Bathing in Houghton. Bay.A notice erected at Houghtoa Bay

Footballs occasionally descend fromthe playing area at Kaiwarra on to theHutt Boad below, and it is no uncom-mon practice, according to a deputationwhich waited on the reserves committeeof the City Council yesterday, formotorists to stop, retrieve the ball, and'then rapidly drive off with it. Even jif the ball did not meet with such a'fate, the fact that it had gone right'down the bank and had to be fetchedback tended to delay the game.

Mr. Eobert Coghill, a director ofthe corporation which will erect atMataura a spinning and weaving millsfor making woolpacks and cornsacksfrom New Zealand hemp, stated to the"Southland Times," that .the Govern-ment had so far taken an interest ,inthe undertaking as to prdtcct the in-dustry at any time within the nextfive years against the dumping of jute,cornsacks and woolpacks into the Do-minion.

THERMALACTIVITYPOHUTUAWAKES

FIRST TIME SINCE 1931

(By Telegraph—Press Association.)ROTORUA, Jun6 B.'.

For the first time since 1931, and ap-parently without contributing cause,the Pohutu geyserbecame active earlythis morning, and played more or lessregularly throughout the day, throw-ing jets -of steam and water as highas 100 feet in the air. In bright sun-shine the sight attracted many/visitors.

Although the Waikite geyser, -whichhas been playing regularly, died downwhile Pohutu was active, a consider-able increase in thermal activitythroughoutthe reserve is noticeable.The Prince of Wales Feathers alsogave a spectacular display during theday, playing strongly immediatelybefore the eruptions of Pohutu.

" More than usual activity at Ngauru-hoe and Ketetahi hot springs, on thenorth-east side of Tongariro, has beennoticed during the past few days, re-ports a "New ■ Zealand Herald" cor-respondent from National Park. Steamclouds rising to a height of about 3000feet were observed on/Tuesday, to becoming from Ketctahi, as viewed fromthe Chateau, while smoke was issuingfrom the crater of Ngauruhoe on thesame day. On Thursday, before cloudsdescended, it was noticed that Ngauru-hoe was again active. A distinct blackrim on the iced edge of the cone- wasalso plainly visible. Smoko was risingfrom the crater in short bursts yester-day. Lately there has been a strongsmell of sulphur, presumably from Nga-uruhoe and-the lake on Ruapehu. Aslight earthquake was felt, at the Cha-teau on Monday night, and more pro-nounced shocks havebeen reportedfrom Taupo.

LEGALLATIN

DROPPING OUT OF USE

"REX" IS NOW "THE KING"

Is Latin usage among lawyers lessfrequent and is there a trend for.lessuse to bo made of Latin, phrases andmaxims? During the past;.few weeks,and especially during the last sittingsof the Court of Appeal, more lawyersresorted to the use of Latin maximsand phrases than had been noticeablefor a long period.

Latin, however, seems to be doomedto less frequent utterance. Barristersin Wellington seen by an "EveningPost" reporter were inclined to agreethat there is a plain tendency in this,direction. The reasons given were thatyounger lawyers of today as distin-guished from lawyers of yesterday wereless inclined to give attention to nice|Latin, either in construction or in pro-nunciation. Even when Latin- wasquoted in the courts, | there was amarkedly Anglicised pronunciation.

More and more, lawyers were con-strained to consult Latin maxim booksrather than be able; from".their know-ledge of the language, to understandand quote. That did not'mean thafcer-tain Latin maxims were-passing out oflegal ken. "Mens rea," for in-stance, interpreted broadly as mean-ing a state of "guilty mind,"could hardly bo replaced in the neariuture by the term "guilty mind."This and other terms of the kind weredefinitely legal terms which no otherscould,replace.

CORRECTION FROM BENCH.The Chief Justice this week correctedcounsel in regard to the manner ofcitation of cases."Irefor your Honour to 'Eex versus

,' " said counsel, during legalargument."The King," interposed his Honour."The case is referred to here as♦Eex versus ,' your Honour." re-plied counsel."Counsel usually—in England at allevents—refer to such cases as 'TheKing/ " observed his-Honour.That aspect of the matter was ratherdifferent, said tho barrister, discussinghis Honour's correction. That dealtwith the custom now in vogue amongleading- and more experienced counselof dropping the Latin terni in quoting

.cases. Casesformerly -called "Eexversus Brown" are now referred to as'TheKing and Brown," and similarly"Eegina" is now quoted as "TheQueen.""I think that in modern judgmentsone- finds that Latin expressions arc-not

so much used as was formerly thecase," said a leading barrister. "Ithink, too, the present-day lawyer liasgreater difficulty than past lawyers hadin interpreting Latin""Many donot use Latin because theyregard it aa a form of affectation,?'said one counsel. "Speaking generally,the same thing has happened every-where. In Victorian politics manyspeeches were garnished with Latin andGreek quotations. Today, one hardlyhears of "such a thing."

CORRESPONDENCETAXATION & UNEMPLOYMENT

(To the Editor.)Sir,—In the many solutions pro-

pounded for the problem of unemploy-ment I have not seen so far any sug-gestion for t.he refonn'of our existingtaxing system. Various public men,chiefly politicians, have repeatedly de-clared that trade and industry shoulddo their best to absorb our unfortunateIfellow-citizens living on the verge-ofdestitution. At the same time the Gov-ernment is doing its utmost to crampand destroy the very machinery whichis expected to find the essential employ-ment. Of all the political device?forpreventing the wheels from going roundthe worst of the-lot is our system oftaxation. Cannot we find some way oftransferring taxation to the shouldersof individuals and release all businessundertakings from this devastating in-fluencewhich at root is the chief causa-tive ■factor of.unemployment? '-f, About: twelve^years agOj j i,g ye.Sir, the-last Commissionon taxationrecommended this 'step.

EQUITY.SPIRITOFCO-OPERATION

(To the Editor.)., Sir,—I tliiuii. 11, must oe conceded thatunder the present system of centralisa-tion and individualism responsibility ingo\ eminent is evaded by fully 90 percent, ot the fit population. The result-ant idleness (relating to public affairs)has produced a spirit of destructivecriticism and intolerance (vide com-plaints in tho Press on various subjectsof recent date) in these islands. Toarrest development of this spirit, I amof the opyuon that the country shouldbo floodedwith clubs, societies, guilds,etc, until every able bodied person hassome responsibility an some form, nomatter how small it might be. Themore one accepts (not to overdo it)the less intolerance and tho more efficiency in administration ~an everyavenue.

In this spirit I should like to pointout ,the importance of there beingformed (without delay, but not in|haste) a suburban train travellers' as-sociation. Such a body should bo in-corporated and ha\e for its object con-structive co operation with the RailwayDepartment for .improvementin .the ser^jvices and greater comfort for travel-lers. Tho society should be not merelyfor the ventilation of grievances or atall, but with a full knowledge that thepassengers are the owners and as suchshould share responsibility for efficientand economical running.\ All detailsand anomalies that the Department,throngh centralised control, is not ableto acquire, a knowledge of should beundertaken by this body. Embarrass-ment through lost and e-rtrafares, 'position of carnages, behaviourm train, delegation of seating accommo-dation, etc., are all matters, to men-tion a few, with which the associationcould deal. It could also co-re.lat©theviews" of its members for analysis andaction. Through co operation with theDepartment it'coul,d ensure that everytraveller automatically became a memtier.

Under a spirit of""constructive co-operation I am v sure tho Departmentwould heartily welcome such an associa-tion, as benefits air round would resulttherefrom —I am,*etc,'JE.~F."WAKELIN.

AUSTRALIA BATTING

AGAINST GOOD BOWLING

DISPLAY NOT REMARKABLE

United Pres; Association—By Electric Tele-graph—Copyright. "(Received June 9, 10 a.m.). NOTTINGHAM,June 8.

Australia had the initial advantageof taking first strike in the first ofthe-cricket Tests with England, which

;. commenced today at Trent Bridge,but, from a reasonably good start,it was not turned to anygreat account.Early in the afternoon some cheapdismissals placed .Australia in anawkward position, and for a timemuch caution was exercised againsta consistently good attack,' withaccurate length . bowling a feature.In the end, however, a; sixth-wicketpartnership between MeCabe andChipperfield carried Australia beyond■ the 200 mark for the loss of five.; wickets. Play, though commencingin fine, warm weather, with a lightbreeze, was twice interrupted byrain, and finally, after a heavyshower during the tea adjournment,

, anvappeal against the light was up-held. .'....-..

THE TEAMS.England took the.field without Wyatt,

who. stood down,on account of a thumbinjury. Walters was ;chosen as Eng-- .land's captain in place of Wyatt, thisbeing his first appearance in a Testagainst Australia. ;■ Bowes was not in-cluded in England's team, and Nicholswas twelfth man, England's selectorsdeciding to rely on one fast bowler,Fames. In the selection of; Australia'steam, the attack' was reduced to threeregular bowlers—Grinimett, O'Reilly,and//Wall—and';Brown"was added to.the batting -list,, the Australiansapparentlyplaying for safety. Ebelin'g,Fleetwood-Smith, Kippax, and Barnettwere dropped from Australia's team,Bromley acting, as; twelfth man.

The teams are:— ' ,'..."' .Australia.-—W. 'MT.. Woodfull (cap-

tain), W. H. Ppnsford, W. A. Brown,D. G. Bradman,: 3. J. MeCabe, L. S.Darling, A. G. Chipperfield,: W. A.Oldfleld, C. V./Grimmett, T. W. Wall. and W. J. O'Reilly. . / ':'. ;England.—C. F. Waiters, (jcaptain),

commenced the attendance increased tofifteen thousand. Woodfull and Pons-ford, who were given a decorous re-ception on going to the wicket, gaveAustralia a' good start in making 77■■ runs for the first wicket, Ponsford con-

,- tributing a, soundly-played 53.\ Therewas somewhat of a slump after that;but tho. position ultimately was im-

DESCRIPTIONOFPLAYCONDITIONS GOOD

HOW AUSTRALIANS FARED(Beceivea June 9, 11 a.m.)

NOTTINGHAM, June 8.The wicket had the..appearance ofbeing in splendid;order, well: grassedand glossy. For the accommodation ofmore spectators the outfield was ex-tensively roped off, and consequently4's were easy. The octogenariangroundsman says that, irrespective ofrain, the wicket; will " last-four days.Ho expects it to be fast, and unlikelyto assist spin-bowlers, Au adjoiningwicket quickly crumbled ia a recentmatch, but special care' has been takenwith the Test wicket, which is rarelyused. v . . . ■

The decision about Wyatt not play-ing was left until the last moment.D. B. Jardine occupied a front rowseat in the Press box.Although thousands were awaitingthe Australians' arrival at Nottinghamthere was no sign of the hostile demon-

stration with which, itwas alleged,tho team would be received as a re-prisal for Australian criticism ofLarwood. With the exception of Old-field, who is quite fit but has beenadvised to rest as much as possibleall the Australians are in good ■fettle'and rather confident of their chancesin fhe first Test.: ,

OPENING PARTNERSHIP.England's attack against Ponsfordana Woodfiill was opened up byFamesand Geary, the former employing fairpaoe. The batsmen were extTemely

careful, Woodfull allowing.many ballsto go by. Pr--,ford, meanwhile, wasdoing most o 'ie scoring. Duringone of Fame:- ivcrs one ball wentover Woodfull", head, and tho nextstruck his hip. Both batsmen, how-ever, seemed comfortable, and Pons-ford had already hit five 4's..When he was bought on, Hammondbowled several maiden overs. Mitchell

.and Verity were then tried. . Ponsfordopened-Ms shoulders aiid continued togather runs, "13 coming from one overby Mitchell, but Woodfull'■was pain-fully slow. The first half-hour producedonly 21 runs. Ponsford had anarrowv -escape in Hammond's thirdover. Hendrcn, at 'backward point, .leta high and difficult chance through hisfingers. The half-century appeared in65 minutes.

PONSFOBD OUT.Pohsford batted beautifully in the

first hour, and hit seven 4's.out of thetotal of 75. When Fames was broughton again with the total at 77, hisfirst ball was very fast and kept fairlylow. i Ponsford snicked it, and wasnicely caught at the wicket. He batted90 minutes, and was admirable againstthe spin-bowlers, but less happy withthe fast bowling.

Woodfull was justbeginning to settledown when,at 26, ho was caught in thegully by Verity.: Brown and,Bradinan were associatedfor the third wicket, Bradman takingthe offensiveas soon as ho appeared atthe crease.- Ther. pair advanced- thescore to 100 by;the time the luncheonadjournmentwas taken.

BRADMAN UNFORTUNATE.Bradman apparently had no intent

tion of playingsafe: He cracked bothFames: and Mitchell to the fence.Fames nevertheless bowled splendidlybefore lunch. ■'" ' .'" 'Eain at 2.25 p.nv caused a cessationof play for a quarter of an hour.Bradman drove Geary for two. succes-sive 4's, and during his attacking of thebowling his partner, Brown, played con-fidently. Eventually Bradman was outin a peculiar manner." He attempted adrive off Geary; but played the ball onto his pads. The ball, flew straight upand was caught by Hammond in theslip3. Bradniaribatted for only thirtyminutes, and score "of 29 includedsix 4's. It was a patchy innings inwhich his timing was inconsistent.125—3—29... , .... -' :. ' ,

STRUGGLE FOR RUNS.When MeCabe joined Brown there

were several occasions' on which Brownwas beaten by Fames. At. 146 Gearysecured his second'wicket when Brown,attempting a straight drive, walkedright in front,of his wicket. Brown,making his Test debut,, jvas at thewickets for 8o minutes. He gave asound but: timid display. Darling be-gan shakily, and realised a flukey 4from Verity. This raised 150 for "185minutes' batting." ; . , .

Geary had--bowled unchanged for,over an hour since lunch. He;kept asplendid length, but it was Verity ;whoplaced Australia in an awkward posi?tion by clean 'bowling Darling. Thebatsman was completely beaten by aball coming quickly■ from : tho Bitch.153—5—4. > : .""■ ¥ ■;

(By "Not Out.V)

The'opening day of the first cricketTest, England v."Australia, had its sur-prises, first of 'air in the announce-mentof the personnel of the teams, andthen in £he! poor.yield:of runs' for aday's play. It was generally antici-pated that in the Australian team eitherEbeling or B.roinley would be includedto strengthen up the attack, and it wassurprising, therefore,1 to find Brown in-cluded to give extra weight to battingthat was regarded -as strong.- WithWyatt unable to leaa England, theselectors had no alternative but to giveWalters the since he hadbeen chosen as one of the fourteen toassemble at Nottingham. Walters, nodoubt, wilLpartner Sutcliffe in openingEngland's innings. The reliance on onefast bowler was' also something of asurprise, though Bowes's omission wasregarded as likely. ,The exceptionalscoring -by-Australia- in.-the countymatches led to expectations of heavyrun-making: in "tlie Teat. The fulfil-ment is not there so far, though theposition is to be "regarded as Satisfac-tory from- the>:points;of view of bothsides. ' . " -The winning of the toss has givenAustralia an advantage which may beconsiderable before the.match ends. Inspite of the; report that the wicket isgood there is, evidence in the accountof play that the,;batsmen may be indifficulties later on, ; especially nowthat some rauThas fallen.

High scoring in Tests at Nottinghamis the exception. Tather than the rulepreviously five England-Australia Tests'have -been played there, and in onlyone of them has Australia topped 300in an innings, while England has passedthat mark oh .only,twooccasions. Gen-orally the scoring has been moderate,and only two centuries have been, re-corded—A. C. Macljaren's 140 in 1905and D. G. Bradman's. 131 in 1930. Thefollowing results of Tests at Notting-ham,show how the scoring has gone:189?.—Match drawn. Scores: Eng-land, 193 and 155 for seven wickets*Australia, 252; and 230 for eightwickets, declared. ,

1930.—England won by 93 runs.Scores; England, 270 and 302: Aus-tralia, 144 and 335.

The teams differ a good deal fromthose which,played/in' the 1930 Test atNottingham, more so England's thanAustralia's. Of those who played forEngland at Trent Bridge four yearsago, Sutcliife,Hammond, and Hendrenare the only players engaged in thepresent Test. Woodfull, Ponsford,Bradman, McCabe, Oldfleld, Grimmett,and Wall, of the present Australianeleven, were in the 1930 team at Not-tingham.

NEW'YORK, June 7.Boxing circles were startled .when

Mr. Bill Brown,- State Boxing Com-missioner, after watching Max Baertrain, declared that the challenger wasin no condition to fight Camera, andthat he would urge his fellow-commis-sioners to postpone the bout for at leasta month. : ' ' - ■;

The Madison Square Garden man-agement declares that Baer alwayslooks bad when training, but alwaysputs up a good fight.

BAERTHEPLAYBOY(By "Aeneas.")

.Max Baer, the Liyermore ex-butcher,has caused his . supporters, which in-clude all the Americans' who want theworld's heavyweight championship toreturn to the United States, particu-larly to the possession of a colourfulboxer of the Jack Denipsey type, con-siderable concern, since ho finally won■his way into- the ranks of the legiti-mate, contenders last year by knockingout Max■Schineling. Somebody discov-ered that he possessed a rugged beautywhich would film well, and a' person-'ality which had a strong feminine ap-peal, and-the result was that Baer"went Hollywood." Unfortunately,Baer was only too ready to accept theadulation and high living which Holly-wood had to offer, and his training suf-fered accordingly. Apparently Baerhas not been made to realise that toturn his. fistic ability to the best com-mercial account- it is- necessary:for him;first to gain the highest honours. .Baer has supreme..- self-confidence,which those;closely in iouch with himdescribe as .astonishingly convincing.He does not merely think he can beatthe Italian, he knows it. Camera, onthe other .hand, is reported to be con-siderably impressed with Bauer's super-iority complex, and is taking his pre-parations for the bout very seriously.

"SAINTHILDEGART"HER MOTHER ON TRIAL

REMARKABLE CONFESSION■■-''■"■■ : ;■ MADRID, May 31.

A love 'affair at seventeen, whichthreatened to interrupt a course- ofmental and physical training, .is allegedto be the reason why Hildegart,, daugh-ter.-of Dona Aurora Rodriguez, wasmurdered last June. The trial of themother on' a. charge of having- com-mitted the murder began today. '.' ' .According; to the 'prosecution, . themother'spent the day preceding 'herdaughter's death in practising revolvershooting, then rose at dawn and firedthree bullets into the sleeping girl.She declared after her arrest "thatthe British SecretService was endeav-ouring to decoy Hildegart from thecareer which she had mapped out: Shedeclared that she chose a special friendto be Hildegart's father, in order tohave a child who would lead the world^She' began . developing Hildegart'sbrain, she said; immediately the girlwaß born, and administered a specialdiet, and chose all the'child.'s readingmatter. She allowed nobody'to combather influence.'. ' ' ' ■

Hildegart, at seventeen, fell in love,and, the. police believe, was shot be-cause her mother resented the lover'sinfluence with the.prodigy's career. :The mother was conspicuous in alow-necked gown, with carnations andwhite gloves. She 'harangued- theCourt for two hours in defence ofanarchy,;free love, and atheism."" Sheinsisted- that,, despite her passionatelove for her daughter, shb would shoother a thousand times in similar cir-cumstances, because her mission was toreform the world by new eugenicmethods. She denied the: announce-ment that Hildegart's father was incourt, ana declared that he had long-been dead. ■

Havelock Ellis, writing in the"Adelphi" magazine,- referred to thegirl as "Saint Hildegart," owing toher pioneering spirit in the cause ofhumanity.

WATER SHORTAGE IN BRITAIN

IMPROVEMENT NOT GENERAL


RUGBY, June 7.The Parliamentary Secretary to the

Ministry of Health (Mr. GeoffreyShakespeare) stated in the House ofCommons today that the position re-garding the water shortage over alarge part of the country in the north-east, Wales, west and south-west, aswell as part of the Midlands, was gen-erally better than a month, ago. Thesouth and south-east had not shared ivthe improvement.

Hehad no reason to think that waterundertakings would not be able to meetthe situation provided consumers con-tinued to play their part in makingreasonable economies in the use. ofwater.

CUTTINGTHECODEACCORDING TO FACTS

RADICAL Nr R.A. ADJUSTMENT

m MOEE PRICE-FIXINGUnited Press Association—By Electric Tele-

graph—Copyright.-WASHINGTON; June 7,

In another radical adjustment of theN.B.A. philosophy an announcementwas made today that all price-fixingwould be discontinued except when theAdministration deemed that a."specialemergency made it necessary.

The decision conforms to " Mr.Clarence Darrow's recommendations,which held that price-fixing wascreating, monopolies to the detriment ofsmall producers and consumers.

Mr. Darrow declared that the N.B.A.was a complete failure, fosteringmonopoly and oppressing the smallerenterprises for the benefit of the bigindustrial combines. He recommendedto President Boosevelt tho socialisa-tion and collective ownership and con-trol of industry, followed by theplanned use of America's resources, asthe only, remedy . for the economicdisease. Specifically .Mr. Darrow con-tended that if under the N.E.A. codesfair.competition was" to be made,effec-tive, the codes must be rigorously ad-ministered by the Government,t. Heclaimed that under'the present systemthe code authorities and big industrieswere placed in the position of "tryingthemselves.'' .■:.■.■.'

The first icut in the code occurredwhen, tacitly admittingwidespread non-compliance, President Roosevelt,by anexecutive order,: on May' 27 authorisedthe exemption of the so-cailed serviceindustries from1 the fair trade practiceprovisions of1 N.RiA. codes. This meantthat hundreds of thousands of: clothescleaners, dyers, barbers' shops, beautyshops, etc., would-no longer ■ operateunder the price-fixing agreements, openprice systems, and other stabilising de-vices, maximum wage scales,and mini-mum working hours. The abolition ofchild labour must still " be observed,however. For months there had beencomplaints that the N.E.A. Administra-tion had been unable to police suchsmall concerns, and -'"that further at-tempts to do so would be futile.

EXPERT WITNESSES

EVIDENCE IN BAYLY TRIAL(By Telegraph—Press Association.)

AUCKLAND, June "8.Many points of medico-legal juris-

prudence were raised during the cross-examination in the Bayly trial of D.r.W. Gilmour, which concluded this after-noon. TOien he stepped down after re-examination Dr.. Gilmour had been inthe box for twelve hours, during whichtime he was closely examined on bloodgroup tests, the difference betweendrowning and comatose asphyxia, andthe results obtained by burning twosheep in an oil drum on separate occa-sions; He was succeeded by Dr. P. P.Lynch, .of' Wellington, who describedthe conclusions fie had drawn from thebones exhibited and from a tuft ofhair. .."■■■■.■■..- ■

William Alfred Bayly is chargedwith murdering Christobel Lakey andSamuelPender Lakey at Buawaro oriOctober15,1933.

The Crown Prosecutor (Mr. ".V. E.Meredith), with him Mr. F. McCarthy,is prosecuting, while Bayly is- repre-sented by Mr. E. H. Northcroft andMr. L. P. Leary, instructedvby Mr. E.B. Lusk. Mr. Justice Herdman is onthe Bench.

After the luncheon adjournment Mr.Leary again questioned Dr. Gilmour onthe value of blood group testing.

"Assuming that Mrs. Lakey's blood,the blood at the- implement ;shed, theblood on the wheels^and the blood onBayly's clothes had been types, it ispossible that very .valuable evidencemay have been available for the jury?"asked counsel. , ;:

"Yes," agreed Dr. Gilmour,Then it might have been shown that

all the,blood on the Lakey propertycame from Mrs. Lakey?—lt mighthavebeen feasible to show that all camefrom the same group.

If. two kinds of blood were foundon the Lakey property it' would havebeen proof positive' that two'peoplewere dead there?—Yes. 'If the blood on the suggested assail-ant is of a different group from thatoJi the suggested victim, it would beproof that it could not be that of thevictim?—Yes.If the blood on the. assailant andthat on the victim were the same group,ihat Vould show it might coice from the

victim?—Yes.But it would riot prove that it came

from the victim?— No.Then the: value of the tests is to

show innocence, not guilt?—Y*.AN UNSUCCESSFUL TEST,

Re-examined by Mr. Meredith, Dr.Gilmonr said he had made fifteen ex-periments of different stains on theselines. . ; .

"As.a result of my experiments, thetest is not sufficiently reliable to war-rant use in medico-legal work," con-tinued Dr. Gilmour, who added that ifblood'was still wet and fresh there wasa possibility of .success, but if theblood was dry.the test was unreliable.He .had tried to test Mrs. . Lakey'sblood, taking the .strain from the pieceof wood used to open her mouth. Hegot up result.

Mr; Meredith: Was there any woundon. Mrs*'Lafcey which could have causedthe stains in the implementshed? ;

Witness: N6. Somestains were obvi-ously caused by spurtingblood. "'In reply to his Honour, Dr. Gilmoursaid he was of definite opinion thatthe stains in the implement shed werenot Mrs. Lakey's blood. He could nothave done both grouping and preeipitintests on :Bayly's trousers; there wasnot: enough blood for both purposes.The bloodstains about the implementshed were not fresh enough to makea group test.

At the request of the prosecutor, Dr.Gilmour read a summary from differ-ent authorities giving the time o'ecu-jpied in burning human bodies' in vari-ous, types of furnace. He describedvarious stages of burning during theexperiments.' The carcasses were re-duced to small fragments of burnt bone.Dr. Gilmour produced a package: of'thebone, left at the conclusion of thesecond experiment. Less residue wasobtained' in the first experiment.'

MOST DrFFICXJLT TO BURN.1 "What was the; most. difficult thingto burn?" asked Mr. Meredith.

"Tho internal organs,"th&intestines,"replied Dr. Gilmour, adding that theintestines of an animal -were much mornbulkythan those of a human being. Atthe,conclusion of both tests some fuelremained unhurried in. the back-of thedrum.

In the case of comatose asphyxiathe air was not cut off; there wasa marked difference in the appearanceof persons who died from drowningand those who died qf comatose as-phyxia, he proceeded. In cases whereoxygen Was cut off there were markedsigns of carbon dioxide in'the blood.This was noticeable in Mrs. Lakey.The fact that five men who saw thebody removed from the water noticedfrothy blood on the face corroboratedthe: witness's conclusions. , ""Can you say how many post-mortems you have made in the. courseof your professional career?" asked Mr.Meredith. . ■"I have conducted 2000 to 3000,-"

replied Dr. Gilmour. >Tests made on the matter adheringto the tuft of hair showed that itmight be blood, Dr. Gilmour. said: thereaction was strong and immediate,indicating that it was almost certainlyblood. ■■ . > .

In reply tcv his Honour, Dr. Gilmour,said that the amount of hemorrhageresulting from, a wound from being shotor being; struck depended entirely onwhere, the individual was struck.

ANOTHER WITNESS.Dr. PhilipPatrick Lynch, pathologist,

of Wellington, described the handlingof a number of exhibits; The tuft ofhair produced comprised 200 to 300hairs about 2J inches, long. At thebase of the:hairs was matter whichgave rapid reaction to the benzedenetest, indicating that it was driedblood. Further crystalline preeipitintests failed to give definite results.The preeipitin test failed if heat hadbeen applied. .

.'.'From theappearance of thematerial as a result of the benzedenetest, I formed the conclusion that itwas coagulated blood," continued Dr.Lynch. , -Bones of all the groups had certainfeatures in common, Dr. Lynch said.They were all burned, they were allassociated with wood charcoal, andthey were all fragile, some extremelyso. The edges in all cases were freefrom weathering. A number of thebones in all the groups had on thesurface dark ...

"Areyou referring to notes?" askedMr. Meredith. ". ' . ■

"No," replied Dr. Lynch. They hadon the surface dark ' material whichsuggested they all , had been freshlyburned. There was a general similar-ity in appearance. There was no dirtingrained in the fractured edges aswould be expected if the bones wereexposed to weather for any longperiod. - One bone exhibit1was that ofa muscular individual. It displayeddark 'bubblymaterial which, however,

did not present a joint surface. Thebroken edges were sharp without, signsof wear or weathering.

CHARACTERISTICS OF BONES,Dr. Lynch then demonstrated the

characteristics of certain human bonesexhibited,, including a cheekbone, atlasor upper vertebra, and portions of thevault of the skull, which showed twolayers separated by a spongy layer. Inthe skull bones the curvature showedthe sizo of the brain, which waslarger in man than in other animals.Pacchionian pits were made by bloodchannels and were of some importancein fixingthe ageof the individual; theydeepenedwith age.

"One would judge that this piece ofskull came from *an individual inmiddle life," continued Dr. Lynch, whoanswered questions by members of thejury. ; In every case which ho handled,the bones,he claimed, were character-istic of human origin. Witness steppedto the front of the jury box and gavea detailed explanation. v"I would say that the bones werefrom one human individual from gen-eral points of similarity," declared thewitness.

Among those recognisable as humanwere a heel bone, part of the base ofa skull to which muscles of the neckwere attached, and bones of the vaultof the skull, all showing the samegeneral features. Among the bonesnot definitely recognisable as humanwere soino which could ;bo from thepelvis. In one exhibit there wereseven pieces\>f cloth which Dr. Lynchsaid he had not classified. A furtherportion cf an atlas, which was charac-teristic of man and apes, was found asthe only bone among,a large quantityof charcoal in another exhibit.

The Court then adjourned,

ENDOFTHIRDWEEKTODAY'S PROCEEDINGS

(By Telegraph—Press Association.)AUCKLAND, This Day.

The end of the'"third "week of - thehearing of the Euawaro double-murdercharges in ,the Supreme Court wasreached this morning, when Dr. P. P.Lynch, of Wellington, continued to re-late tho result of his examination ofexhibits and the conclusions he formed.The court was quickly filled when thedoors were opened, a number of spec-tators being unable to gsiin admission.

Dr. Lynch identified human skullbones in a number of the exhibits,showing the jury how some fragmentsfitted together. He- then- identified ,afragment'of an elbow joint, -demon-strating the jointwith upper and lowerarm bones on which the position of theexhibit was marked in red. This joint,he said, was not found in domestic ani-mals, but only in climbing animals andmarsupials: The exhibit, judged by itssize, was characteristic of an adulthuman being. Included with the sameexhibit were thirteen ■-. pieces of boneconsistent with human origin. Two ofthese, one from a shin and the othera thigh, resembled bones from a strongindividual.; : ,

Witness described.part <if a skull,petrous bone containing part of theauditory canal. Continuing to placeother bone exhibits, Dr. Lynch freelyused portions of the human skeletonon which the parts referred to weremarked in red. Witness said he hadno doubt that certain bones werehuman. The age and sex could be de-duced with some degree of accuracy.From a complete jointure of an elbowand also.the inner end of a collarbonethe bones could be placed as those ofan adult. The best indication of agewas obtained from the "appearance ofthe. pacchionian pits in the skull bone.These"' became deeper with advancingage. The depth of the pits in the boneexhibited indicated an individual ■ inmiddle life. Other bones also sug-gested that they were from a fully-grown individual.' The sex could be in-ferred from the size <of the bones,andtheir general thickness and heavybuild. However, one could not say theywere not from a very muscular female.The coarseness of the hair led to theinference that it probably,came from amale. ; "-:■ ' . . ' ':" v" ■- '"'■'"I think the bones were recently

burnt," .co ntinued Dr. Lynch. ''Theappearance of the broken edges sug-gests .that they, were recently, broken.The edges are sharp, although they canbe very readily rubbed_ off. There isno evidence of weathering in the wayof bleaching or engrained dirt."

DEATH FROj.it DROWNING.

' Witness was quite satisfied that thebones were not bare when' they wereburnt, on account of the presence ofcharred bubbly,matter which was show-ing, and the fact that muscles and liga-ine_nts were attached. Appearancespointed to all the bones being from oneindividual. All parts of the skeletonwere represented, the head, an arm,vertebrae, legs, and a, foot. Witnesssaid' ho had seen Dr. Gilmour's post-mortem findings on Mrs. Lakey, andhe had also considered the evidence ofthe witnesses who found Mrs. Lakey... "On those facts," he said, "one cangive the definite opinion that deathwas due to drowning," continued Dr.Lynch. "The froth issuing from thenose when the body wasremoved fromthe water is an important external signas regards postmortem findings. Thefluid condition of the blood, the con-gested state of lungs and windpipe,and tho; congestion of, tho eyes;areall internal findings consistent withdeath by drowning."','■';'

The condition of the heart shown inthe ""report was not such as to causesudden ..death. The injuries to theface were likely to have been causedby knock-out blows, but . the blowswere unlikelyto be fatal in themselves.The appearance of .the.body of a per-son who died from shock from blowswould not present"sighs of asphyxia.The difference between asyphxia fromdrowning and comatose asphyxia wasshown by external factors.

EXPERIMENT 'WITH A CALF."I am satisfied that a. human body

could be burntin an oil drum," continuedDr. Lynch, who. said he had made anexperiment in Wellington, using a40-gallon drum with two sheets of gal-vanised iron surrounding two-thirds ofthe sides. As a subject he used a calfof i42lb with the hide on. 'The ani-mal was killed under chloroform andput in the drum head first.; Afterkindlinghad been inserted witness useda bag and a half of firewood. Oneman only attended tho setting up of'the drum, the firing, and all the otheractivities. The fire was started at 4.45p.m. and was attended to for two hours.Nothing was added except wood. Aftertwo hours the animal had been partlyconsumed. Then the remains of thefirewoodwere piled on the fire and left.The drum was then red hot, and thecontents were; burning furiously. Nextmorning the ashes were still hot andthe body .had been completely con-sumed with the exception of part of ashoulder and part of the hide, whichwere found unburrit in the back of thedrum out of tho air current. Thehair on this was unburnt. The restof tho carcass had been completelyburnt. The total debris after theburningwas a bucketful, including ash.

Witness then corroborated Dr. Gil-mour's account of the burning of theram at Auckland on April 21. In thiscase, he said, the debris,bones,and totalash just filled a kerosene tin. Thebones from the test were more burntthan tho bones exhibited."I am satisfied that a human body

would be easier to burn than a calf ora sheep, on aocount of the bulky in-testinal contents of a calf or sheep,"declared Dr. Lynch. "I have no hesi-tation in saying that a'human bodycould be burnt in a furnace of thatkind:" '■■■■"■"■

It is be-lieved that the.man, who was notmasked but wore tinted hornrimmedglasses, after clearing the till of itscontents and rushing out of the office,engaged a taxi some distance up thestreet and was taken to the city."NOTHING TO DO BUT OBEY."Details concerning the hold-up weregiven. by ,Mr. Hart in an. interview.He said that the man came into theoffice about 12.30 p.m.. and .questionedhim for some time regarding the where-abouts of a Mr. Squires. OnMr. Harttelling him that he did not know any-body of that name, the man ; asked ifthere were any postmen about. whowould be.able to supply him with theinformation. He was told that therewere no postmen or messengersin theoffice. On stating that he would eitherinquire at: the "Wellington South Post

Officeor consult a directory, he was in-formed that it was against the postalregulations to give an address withoutthe consent of the person asked for.After looking up a telephone directoryand finding that, the only person in itwith, the1name of Squires lived at Sea-toun, Mr. Hart told the nian to in-quire from somebody else in the vicin-ity, whenj without warning, the manleaped over, the counter, at the sametime producing, a revolver. "I backedtowards the door leading to DrummondStreet in order- to run out on to thostreet to give the alarm, but he point-ed the revolver at me and ordered meto come back and not to move,'' saidMr. Hart./ ".There was nothing for meto do but obey, and while he kept mecovered with the revolver, which was inhis right hand, he opened the till withhis left, and extracted the notes whichwere in it. Without saying anythingfurther he jumpedback over the coun-ter and ran out of the front door. Iimmediately rushed out of tho backdoor into Drummond Street and ques-tioned some boys and men in the vicin-ity concerning a man I described tothem. They said they had not seenhim, and I then returned to the officeand rang up the police and the ChiefPostmaster." ■'-■-'.■

Mr. Hart added tlYit there was a gooddeal of money in the office besidesthat stolen. When he looked in Ade-laide Road there was no sign of theman.

According to a taxi-driver, a manran up Adelaide Road and, stating thathe was in a hurry, asked to be drivento Courtenay Place. Ho was takeninto the city and, on leaving the taxi,entered a;billiard saloon.It is understood that while the hold-

up was taking place a small,boy enteredthe office to buy a stamp. Apparentlyhe noticed that something unusual wasgoing on but did not give an alarm.

NEWZEALANDSTONE

USE ON CITY BUILDINGS

UNEMPLOYMENT BOARD'SVIEW

REPLY TO DEPUTATION

A deputationrepresenting the' Opera-tive Stonemasons'Union waited on theMinister of Employment on April 27.and made representations to him con-cerning the stone which it was proposedto use in the new Colonial MutualInsurance building now in course oferection in CustomhouseQuay. Themembers of the deputation informedtheMinister that they had good groundsfor believing that the stone to be usedin the building, which is a job sub-sidised by the Unemployment Board,was a manufactured stone from Sydney.Consequently no New Zealand labourwould be employed in its preparation,as it would arrive ready to be fittedinto position. As, apparently, theobject of the- Unemployment Board ingranting the subsidy, to this buildingwas to promote the employmentof NewZealand tradesmen and other workersit is represented to the Minister thatthe circumstances were particularlydisastrous, especially to the men whowould have obtained employment ifNew Zealand stone was. going to beused, and to the families of these men.Belief workers could be engaged inquarrying New Zealand stone and inpreparing it for the building. Thedeputation considered that, in spite ofthe subsidy from . the UnemploymentBoard, the workers concerned—and, in-deed, the country and its products—were being treated with indifference,and their interests completely disre-garded.

In regard to the quality of New Zea-land stone, the stonemasons who formedthe.deputation were, unanimously of theopinion that quite suitable stone wasavailable in this . country, and theyspoke from a lifetime's experience inworking stone produced in many lands.Tho Minister of Employment statedthat he was not aware of i the circum-stances, but would-,make inquiries witha view to having New Zealand stoneused in both the Colonial Mutual andthe Prudential buildings, the latterbeing also a subsidised job.

THE OFFICIAL REPLY.

' Mr. P. Praser, M.P. for WellingtonCentral, who introduced and supportedtho deputation, has now received thefollowing letter on the subject from theMinister of Employment:—

"I am sorry that there has been somedelay in replying to the points raisedby the deputation of stonemasonswhich you introduced to me on April27. Discussing the matter with theboard's officers who are handling thedetails of tho building subsidy scheme,I find that a lot of consideration wasgiven to the question of the stone tobe used on the Colonial Mutual build-ing. The use of stone, and the qual-ity of the stone to be used, seems tohave developed in recent years into avery technical subject, and even ex-perienced architects and stonemasonsseem to have a difference of opinion asto the qualities. .

"When faced with this, the Unem-ployment Board decided that'it was aquestion upon which it could not affordto be dogmatic, and particularly so asthe use of the stone proposed forthis building will reduce■ considerablythe amount ;of subsidy <to be found.You will realise that no subsidy is pay-able from the fund on any labour ex-ponded other than on the site of thebuilding. The preparation'■■: of ' thestone to bo use*, therefore, will not besubsidised, but stonemasons will .beengaged in placing it in position andin the minor trimmings required on-thesite, and these wages will, ofcourse,carry subsidy. ,

"In the ease of the Prudential, upto the time of writing finality has notbeen reached by the principals on thequestion of whether they will use thesame stone1that is being used in theColonial Mutual Building or whetherthey will use a New Zealand stone.,

"The board is making every endeav-our to persuade them to use, whereverpossible, New Zealand materials, in-cluding New Zealand stone, but, inface of the technical nature-of the dis-cussions that have taken place, do notfeel competent' to instruct that NewZealand stones must be. used as a con-dition of the ' subsidy of any of thelabour engaged."

ME. FRASER'S COMMENT.In commenting on the Minister's

reply, Mr. ITraser said that in his opin-ion the attitude of the "UnemploymentBoard, of which the Minister was..chair-man, was, most, disappointing and veryweak. ""At- the best," said Mr.Fraser, '' the action of the board ingranting subsidies for the buildingsconcerned was 'questionable, and isgenerallyresented and condemned. But,having decided to grant the buildingsubsidy to the wealthy concerns in-volved, surely the board should haveat least stipulated, as a condition ofthe subsidy,, that New Zealand mater-ial, the preparation of which,would givework to New, Zealand unemployed,shouldbe used to the fullest possible extent.The board and the Minister have lam-entably failed to protect arid help aconsiderable number of unemployedworkers by omitting- or declining to in-sist on this very obvious, elementarycondition before agreeing to grant thesubsidies.

"It is true, as the Minister pointsout, that the subsidy will not be paidto the company concerned on the Aus-tralian labour employed on the stone,for which fact," apparently, we are ex-pected to be devoutly thankful. . Thepoint is, however; that if New Zealandstone had been insisted upon by thoUnemployment Board, New Zealandworkers would have been employed inquarrying and preparing that stone.

"The Minister states that the boardvery modestly admits that in face ofthe technical nature of the discussionsthat have taken place it does not feelcompetent to. instruct that New Zea-land-stone must be'used as a conditionof the subsidy. The board is perhapsto be congratulated/onits unusual mod-esty in admitting incompeteney in thismatter.

"Apparently the fact that New Zea-land stone is being used in tho Na-tional Museum and Art Gallery build-ing and that Putaruru, Bluff, Coroman-del, Takaka, and other local stone isconsidered good enough for the largestbuildings in the country, both Govern-ment and private, counts for very littlewith the Unemployment Board. Ifthe members of the board were in anydoubt about the quality of New Zea-land stone, surely they could haveasked for the opinion of the Scientificand Industrial Research Department,which has investigated the subject."

TRADEBARRIERSTHE PRIMARY MARKETS

MR. BRUCE IN NEW YORK

NOTABLE UTTERANCEUnited Press Association—By' Electric Tele-

graph—Copyright.(Bcceived June 9, 2" p.m.)

NEW YOBK, Juno 8.L Addressing the British LuncheonClub today, Mr. Bruce took his key-note from the President's introductoryspeech, in which his work as the Aus-tralian representative on the League ofNations was mentioned, and declaredthat ho wished that the League wouldmake a close study of prohibitorytariffs or, agricultural products by in-dustrial nations. The results of sucha study would undoubtedly surprise theworld and show more clearly than allelse the consequences of economicnationalism.

Mr. Bruce began with an expositionof Australia's efforts to put her affairsin order during the depression. He saidthat while internally she met her diffi-culties by a rigorous scaling-down ofpublic expenditures and a rise in taxa-tion, externally she had no alternativebut to increase production and send itinto the world markets, further de-pressing prices already badly depressed,and rigorously limiting importations.

What- alternative did she have,askedMr. Bruce, if she were to meet her ex-ternal obligations?

For all the talk at the World Econo-mic Conferenceabout dropping the bar-riers to trade the nations returned hometo embark on strict programmesof limi-tation of production and restricted bi-national or small group trade agree-ments.

Mr. Bruce said that good seasons, therise in the price of wool, and other im-provements in the economic conditionshave encouraged Australia to launchupon ever more extensive production,"lam inclined to think that the timewill be reached when it might be wiseto .re-examine the situation: to avoidinevitable difficulties,"ho said. Hestressed that gradually, no doubt, theworld would come round to the wisdomof lowering tariff barriers and encour-aging' the exchange of commodities.Ho would not restrict their production,but he was very conscious that econo-mic nationalism still reigned, and thatrealism demanded that this be closelynoted.

America was the only country in theworld so constituted as to be able tocontinue on a self-sufficient basis forany length of time. The other coun-tries must awake to the dangers andthe position where, for instance, theproduction of wheat in such countriesas France, Italy, and Germany was en-couraged to the point of an export-able surplus, althoughthe cost of pro-duction was possibly three times whatit is. in Australia. Highly industrialnations used to' complain,' over theefforts of primary countries to encoiir-ragetheir secondary industries, but theencouragement of primary productiontoday by industrial nations goes muchfurther with embargoes and quotas.The League of Nations sorae time agostudied the gold question. Tho worldwould greet with surprise the resultsof a study by the League of other ques-tions.-

THE AMERICAN LOANS.Mr. Bruce haying instanced during

his. address the part played in Aus-tralia's efforts to recoup her positionduring the depression by tho conversionof the London-Australian obligations'at lower rates, he was asked by theAustralian Press Association what hehad found to be the sentiment on theNew York market for similar conver-sions. Ho said the' position was con-siderably different, in that the rela-tively fewer issues floated in Americawcro callable before they were due, andthoso callable h C dates still consider-ably in the future, making tho questionof conversion whollyacademic for sometime to come.

Mr. Bruce said that he had had littleor no opportunity of discussing tradequestions at Washington. It was truethat a Tariff Bill, giving the Presidentriciprocal tariff powers, was passed,"but the whole thing was still in themelting pot. It was impossible, todetermine whether . these reciprocalarrangements would: be with individualnations, groups, or the world."

He stressed that where America'sbalanco with Australia was in America'sfavour, it would be expected that Aus-tralia would be in a surer position "innegotiations." .

ROADSERVICE

THERAILWAY PURCHASE

SUPPLEMENT TO TRAINS

Confirming the statement' made in aWanganuitelegram publishedyesterdayregarding the purchase of the S.O.S.Motors, Ltd. road servico, Mr. G-. HIMackley, General Manager of the NewZealand Railways, today- gave furtherparticulars regarding tho intentions ofthe Eailway Board.

"The road service," he said, "willbe supplementary to the train service,and by reason of the fact that theformer has been able to secure a licenceunder the Transport r Licensing Actwith a time-table which' does not clashwith the existing train services,it maybe taken that there is a definite mea-sure of public demand for this servicewhich requires to bo met. The time-table as observed by the S.O.S. Motorswill be continued by the. Eailway De-partment, and the fares will bo thesame. I have every confidence that theservice that will be provided by theDepartment will be of a standard thatwill unquestionably meet the require-ments of those who find it necessarytopatronise the road service.

"The question whether the boardwill extend its operations so far asroad services are concerned depends en-tirely on the merits and necessities ofthe case. While theboard has been ableto avail itself of the offer to purchasethe business of the S.O.S. Motors, thereare no grounds for assuming that theboard will embark upon a policy ofgeneral absorption, of road services.

"This service is the first of its kindto be taken over,", added Mr, Hack-ley. ; "The Railways Board is merelyfollowing out the policy adopted atHomo in regard to road services. Kail-way companies in Great Britain andother overseas countries have consider-able sums invested in road services. Weare simply adopting the practice thatis followed by overseas railway con-cerns."

AIDTORELIEFELECTRICITYFUNDS

THE EATING POSITION

MAYOR'S REPLY TO MRO'REGAN

The following statement was issuedby the Mayor (Mr. T. C. A. Hislop) to-day:— ' -..'...

Mr. P. J. O'Began, in a letter to"The Post" on Saturday last, com-plains that in my reply to a statementof Labour members I did not refer toa transfer of £10,000 from the electric-ity funds in aid of unemployment:Theonlyreason I did not refer to this par-ticular matter on that occasion wasthat I was replying to certain allega-tions about salary and wage reductions,and that I had fully referred to this'transfer of electricity funds in aspeech made previously. However, inreply to Mr. O'Began I shall deal withthe matter again.

His point appears to be that insteadof taking any portion of electricityfunds to aid unemployment the generalrate should be increased. lie speaks ofvarious raids on the funds' of tradingdepartments." The funds of only onedepartment have in my term of officebeen used, and that is the electricitydepartment. These funds have beenused solely for unemployment relief.The sole purpose of the transfer of£10,000 was to put unemployedmen inuseful work at full rates of pay. Mr.O'Begancontends that this should havebeen done by increasing the rates. Idisagree. This is no time to raise rates.Further, I think, in dealing with anextraordinary state of affairs such asunemployment we are justified in get-ting help from the surplus of a fundcontributed by the great bulk of citi-zens throughthe electricity, department,rather than by increasing the rates.HOW ELECTORS ARE AFFECTED.Mr. 0 'Began says that this methodpenalises the.citizens generally in order

to relieve ratepayers. His argument insupport of this contention is that 56,000people are on the roll, and only 23,000are ratepayers. May I remind him thatprobably most of the ratepayers aremarried, and their wives are- on thegeneral roll, and that also many rate-payers have children of fulLago livingat home. It must therefore be clearthat not a minority but a great major-ity of electors are directly interested inrates, either as ratepayers, wives, ofratepayers, or children of ratepayers,and also as rentpayers, whose rents arenecessarily affected by rates.

Mr. O'Began asks for cheaper light-ing.^ ■ Wellington's rates for elec-tricity, charges compare favourablywith those of any place in, New Zea-land. I hope that a little later thecharges may be still further reduced.Meanwhile, however, to meet an extra-ordinary difficulty Icannot see that theuso of £10,000 to help men in desper-ate need by providing useful city workis an unjust contribution from theelectricity fund.

THE ACCIDENT FUND;Mr. O'Began does not appear to have

studied the actions of the City Councilwith the care or desire for accuracythat one would expect. He says: "Lastyear the City Council raided the Accid-entFund, taking £10,000 therefrom inreduction of rates." That statementis not true. No money,has at anytimeUbeen ".taken:: from* the-'/AccidentFund"for any purpose other than meet-ingaccident claims. No money from the'Accident;Fund "has eveK been "used inreduction of' rates. ' Upon what Mr.O'Began bases his extraordinary state-mentlamat a loss to know. The con-tributions to the Accident Fund havebeen kept up. The contributions tothe Tramways and Electricity departrmerits accident fund have been reduced,not in aid of rates, but because the ac-cident funds of these two departmentsare on an actuarial calculation in sucha healthycondition that they no' longerrequire thesame contributions as in thepast to enable them to meet all claims.This reduction, a perfectly; sound one,has helped both the Tramways andElectricity departments and the pub-lic by aiding the tramway service in adifficult time, maintaining the citizens'service, and keeping the men in workwhile it has helped towards a furtherreduction in electricity charges recent-ly made.

RATING SYSTEMS.I do not think any usefulpurpose can

be,served at this stage,by getting intoa controversy, which Mr. O'Began seemsto desire, regarding' rating on unim-proved value as against rating on capi-tal or annual value. In referring tothe use of electricity funds,hesays:—"I denounce it as a clever devicewhich neutralises the effect of rating onunimproved value, despite the veTdictof an overwhelming majority of citi-zens." From this I assume that Mr.O'Began refers to the vote passed someyears,ago in support of his movementto remove rating for certain purposeswhich. formerly existed on the annualvalue basis. 'Prior to.the poll taken as .the resultof Mr. O.'Began's movement, the gen-eral rate was on the unimproved value,but some, of the others were on theannual value. If I remember, Mr.o'Began then urged that for all therates to go on the unimproved valuewould'help the average citizen. What-ever'the theory may be the fact is, andit can bo demonstrated from the ratedemands,that the general result, of hisaction has been to increase the rateson the smaller suburban holders, andto reduce those.on the large city pro-perties, upon which stand greatrevenue-producing buildings.

Mr. 0 'Regan says that he is preparedif necessary to give the names of alarge number of people in the city whohave made enormous savings by theabolition of the . graduated land tax.This is a matter outside the sphere ofmunicipal affairs, but perhaps I may bepermittedto say that Ihave the names,though. I, am not prepared to publishthem, of a. large number of institutionsin this city which have saved an enor-mous annual amount in rates, whichamount has been made up by the smallproperty-owners outside the centre ofthe city, as a result of "the verdictof an overwhelming majority of citi-zens," brought about mainly1 by Mr.O'Regan's action.

RATESANDACCIDENTFUND(To the Editor.)

Sir>—Tour; correspondent, Mr. P. J.O'Regan, states that I have concealedmy identity under a norn do plume.There is no point in that comment. Myidentity has .Nothing to do 'with thesubjects under discussion. I may bea friend, colleague, or cousin of theMayor, but that, of course, has nothingto do with the case. As an advocate ofhigh rating, Mr. O'Regan convenientlypasses over the .fact that' many rate-payersare finding the present rates toohigh for them to meet. Ho tells us itis possible toraise £45,000 annual reve-nue by way of general rate, and evi-dentlywishes that done. Itwould meanconsiderable hardships to do this, butsuch does not interest the theorist whodesires to squeeze out of the ratepayersall they can possibly pay. The betterpolicy, particularly at a'time like this,is to take no more in rates' than' is

economically necessary to carry on thecity -works and services. Higher ratesbecome a burden on more than rate-payers. In discussing the transferenceof profits from the fund of the electric-ity department it;sti6uid not be left tobe inferred that the consumers are un-rairly treated. The concession given tousers of lightand power arereally verygreat. This last year they amountto over £20,000, and in the lastthree years to over £70,000. Anexamination of the tariff and its appli-cation shows that great benefits havecome to many by no means rich people.The1 fact that the majority of citizensare non-ratepayers does not negativethe justiceof the claim that those whotake the risks should share in the pro-fits. "When there is any loss the rate-payers are always required to makegood; why not share in the profits?What does Mr. O'Regan mean by as-serting that "the City Council has"raid-ed the accident fund, taking £10,000therefrom in reduction of rates"? TheCity Council has not taken a pennyfrom the accident fund. This fund ismade up by annual contributions ap-proximating £,4000, and I believe theamount in hand is ample to meet theclaims of injured workmen. Nothinghas been taken from it as suggested.Tho political views with which Mr!O'Began closes,and whether he makesdistinction between man and man, doesnot interest me, but when he states thatasmall minorityget an annual dividendat the expensp of the majority, lie issimply drawing on his imagination.Even the £10,000 allotted for unem-ployment did not go into the pocketsof the ratepayers. At tho most it butobviated theratepayers being raided tothe extent of another £10,000.—I am,etc., .

' Many carcasses^ ofcourse, remained entangled in thewreckage, but as these were air hope-lessly damaged their: salvage wasscarcely worth the effort involved.The principal task confronting the.engineer was to get the line clear fortraffic.

KAIWARRAPARKNOT BIG ENOUGH

Mr. E. W. ' Barnes said that Mr.Troup, when .Mayor, had definitelypromised the Kaiwarra residents aground big enough for foqtball.

''That was just before ah election,perhaps," suggested a. voice.Mr. Barnes went on to say that at

first instance- as ■ a children's', play-ground and not for football.. Whensome time, ago thequestion of itsenlargement for football■ had come, upfor consideration, the estimated cost,£.7800, had seemed prohibitive.

After some discussion as-to how-theground could'best be enlarged and towhat extent, whether by filling up orcutting back the banks], the Director ofParks and Reserves said that he wouldadvocate closing the ground for twelvemonths and raising its level. It was amistake, he thought, that the groundhad not been constructed on a higherlevel in the first place. ■■:'.-

Supporting* the currency scheme,Mr.W. J. Holdswbrth compared the, ideawith using kerosene to start " a fire.Under the circumstances he 1elt'\ thatthe conference would be justified indoing' something out -of the ordinary.

Ther-Mayor'l of Auckland, Mr. G. W.Hutchison, said-he was opposed to^theproposal practically because it aimed atplacing on local authorities a functionthat belonged to the State. "If. thisis a panacea,",he said, "it- -can -beadopted by tho ;Stato for -the benefitof the whole Dominion:"

No document issued by the Auck-land City Council,unless it embodied apromise of payment,1 would be of anyiiso, continued Mr. Hutchison. Evenif the notes wore made legal tenderthey would beHuseless unless accom-panied by a promise to pay at sometime. If all municipalities put thescheme into operation the Unemploy-ment Fund would;not be. sufficient toredeem them.

Mr. Hutchison thought it preferable,tp raise a loan of reasonable amountand pay interest and sinking fund outof the Unemployment Fund.

HEALTHCAMPS

PROPOSED FEDERATION

DOMINION-WIDE BODY

With the object of forming a Domin-ion Federation of Health Camps theWellington Children's Health CampCommittee has communicated with vari-ous health camp associations through-out the Dominion in an effort,-to con-vene a meeting of representatives ofthese bodies. The circular, which hasbeen sent to .health camp associationsin Auckland, Christchurch, Otago,Southland, Waikato, and Wanganui, hasbeen signed by Dr. Hi E. Gibbs andMr. C. Meachen, of the Wellington, as:sociation.

The opinion is expressed that thetime has arrived when the camp move-ment should;be placed on a sound andstable basis, as in the past the sourcesof income have depended upon theIgood will of an interested few, and .thecamps now established in New Zealandwould gain in influence, service,' andstatus by combining into one Dominionorganisation. "Each of the existingassociations' would continue to be self-contained and self-managing," statesthe circular letter, "but we would sub-mit that co-operation in a common aim,such as permeates the Health Camp As-sociation, will do much to make thatwork'more permanent,'widerin its ap-peal, more economical in its'working,and applicable to a yet larger numberof our loss fortunate fellows.": Health camps have been establishedin various parts of the Dominion forabout twelve years, and their valuoto the communityhas been fully provedby their excellent Tesults. Notwith-standing the natural healthy climaticconditions and the general high stand-ard of health in Now Zealand thoic isstill a definite percentage of weaklyand ill-nourished children, in the com-munity which are- tremendously bene-fited bythe regular life andproper feed-ing they get in the camps.

By the' establishment of a Dominionfederation it is believed that increasedrecognition arid support would be gainedfrom tho Government, and probablymore influential and distinguished■pat-ronage would be obtained than iri apurely local association. The forceof a wider appeal to the public forfinancial support would allow a widerextension of the benefits of healthcamps with a natural greater stabilityin each association;s operations, whilethe funding of experiences for mutualassistance would bring about a moreeconomic working. ■ '"In the event of there being one Do-minion body,"- continues the circular,"it would certainly be possible: to or-ganise the sale of health stamps, andto arrangefor the allocation of the pro-ceeds thereof to' be, made to the af-filiated societies in proportion to theirvarious-contributions. Further sourcesof revenue might be tapped at presentunavailable to purely local efforts."

The initiation of the health .i campmovement' as set out in the Wellingtonconstitution had the definite objects ofproviding permanent quarters andequipment for he'altn camps for childrenwho in the opinion of the associationwould benefit thereby, arid of providinga convalescent home for delicate; chil-dren.

The Wellington Association expressesthe belief that the idea of forming aDominion Federation of Health Campshas the warm support of the Ministerof Health (the Hon. "J. A. Young.)

SPORTINGELLERSLIESHOWINGS

TUDOR OUTSTANDING i

FAILURE OF CALLAMART

(Special from "Early Bird.")AUCKLAND, This Day.

The outstanding performer overcountry at the Great Northern Meet-ing was without a.doubt the Awapuhlcandidate, Tudor. He won his threeraces at the fixture, two hack steeple-chases and a hack hurdles, and thismade his fourth win on end. Theweights he carried in these successivevictories were 9.10, 10.10, 11.7, and12.7—and he won each race very easily,perhaps the easiest being with the big-gest weight. He was the best 'chaserseen out at Ellerslie, and he is o&lya hack. His steeplechase successesbrought him in £445 in :first prizemoney.

Tudor was handicapped at 12.3\.inthe-open steeplechase at Te Awamutunext Saturday, being asked to concedeValpeen, winner of the Great Northern'Steeplechase and second in the WinterSteeplechase, a matter of 141b. Takinga line through the first day's ..hacksteeplechase event at Ellerslie, Tudorwould go close to winning the Waipaevent, if started. He beat Patutahieasily on the opening day at' Ellerslie,conceding him 71b,and.on the final BayBatutahi scored convincingly: in.theWinter Steeplechase; ' :,"'

View Halloo was*' one of-: the out-standing performers ■on the flat atthe Auckland v Meeting. : His successin the Cornwall"Handicap was very de-cisive, and-it pointed his way on thefinal gallops at; Ellerslie ...before themeeting opened.. He won this eventwith 9.0 and with a rise of 101b hewent another fine race in the mile thelast day, finishing fast on the rails toget fourth. : Although now well up inthe handicap, View Halloo .^may be apossibility in the big events at Trent-'ham nextmonth. ;. :

One of the most consistent per-formers at Ellorslie was the Hawke'sBay gelding.Curie, who scored a first,a second,'and a third at the meeting.In the past this, gelding has been agood performer, on the Trenthamcourse, and now he has. expressed amarked partiality for the northerntrack. He handles bad ground verywell, while a bit of weight, does notstop him. Curie is another that maybe suited at Trentham next month1.It was freely admitted that; pur-

chasers of most of the horses in train-ing submitted under "the hammer at theclearing sale of Mr. Impey's horses lastMarch had obtained bargains. > Twoof them,, Gold Pocket and Exaggera-tion,won within a few/days of the sale,1while Imperial Prince and Greek Goldscored at Ellerslie.' The form of thelatter was very consistent, for he wonboth sprints and only failed over thieseven furlongs on the middle day! <Ashe makes a pronounced noise, it wasnot surprising to find Greek Gold stop-ping at the end of the seven furlongsafter being right up at. the home turn.

A DAT FOE THE MUDLARKS.All the proved mudlarks came into

their own at Ellerslie. In additionto Curie, Greek Gold, ana "View;Halloo,already'mentioned, there were Trades-man and Puss Moth. The effort ofthe last-named over the mile the lastday under 9.7 was his best .effort ofthe meeting, for he was'tailed off earlyand was,still last at the hbirie' turn,; sohis.fifth placing was an exceptionaleffort. Tradesman showed-a ■<cleanpair of heels to Puss Moth'and. theothers over the seven furlongs, . andwhile he,appeared to,be all out at thepost photographs showed plainly thathe was doing his work rather comfort-ably. .Tradesman was ■ again; nicelyplaced on the final day at Ellersliebut he was not paid up for,"and it'ispossible his owner had a trip,to Trent-ham in mind. .■■■.■ . " ,""■".' ; ■■

It was expected that' the promoted-hack Pango woul3 be a dangerous con-tender for handicap honours at Ellers-lie, but he failed badly in his.1two out-ings. Prior to the meeting he did thebest six furlongs of the morning whenhe defeated Cadland, thepoor showingsof the pair indicating that the gallopwas not a reliable one. Pango fin-ished last in the Cornwall Handicap,while when favourite for the ;CarbinePlate ho was under the whip more thana, quarter of a mile from home, and hefinished in the ruck. ■ " : ':

Snow Prince injureda knee' prior tothe Auckland Meeting, and in the GreatNorthern Steeplechase . this palpablyaffectedhim at the finish. Up, to fivefurlongs from the finish lie was goingwell at or near the front, and then hecommenced to Weaken. He mighthave finished' fifth had his rider notpulled him lip short of the post andwalked him home,which indicated thatall was not well with.the jumper fromthe winterless north, an impressionconfirmed when Snow Prince was notaccepted for on the final day. -■"'.■>■

As Callamart appeared to be- goingexceptionally well when he fell sevenfurlongs from homo in. the Great North-,crn -Hurdles it was thought that he*had a Teal good.chance of winning theGreat Northern Steeplechase, but henever got out of the ruck in. that longrace. He went very little better inthe Winter Steeplechase; apparentlyhis fall the first day had left its ef-fect. His stablemate Hauwai went avery fine race'in' the Great: NorthernSteeplechase, but cracked up badly inthe Winter Steeplechase, probably the.very heavy and wet going being re-sponsible. "_ It.may be best to remem-ber Hauwai's Great-Northern effortrather than his second performance.

VERSANT A GOOD PROSPECT.One of the best ha<sks seen put. at

the Auckland Meeting was Versant,who it will be remembered won : atAyondale in the spring .' and;paid awin dividend of over a couple of hun-dred pounds. His effort in winningon the middle day when drawn, out asfar as 21..horses from the rail was asterling effort, while his success with8.10 on the final.day was also a goodone. In the spring "Versant won thetwo highweight events at Avondale, sothat perhaps next season he will be:found competing in handicap and cupclasses,for he appears to stay- on well.Versant is only a three-year-old,' beingby Surveyor from. Te Moti, and thus abrother to the erratic but. very speedyOn Top. '

"

' ■'-' 'King Musk had not been racing withany luck ifor some time prior to theGreat Northern Meeting, so that hissuccess in a division of the JervoisHandicap was overdue, and at the'same time very convincingly achieve!!.He failed torun on in the CarbinePlate,which was not surprising when some ofthe efforts, of the amateur riders inthis race were seen, but he went thebest effort of his career in the openmile the last day, when he' defeated allbut Curie: King Musk-was in the ruckfor the first half-mile, so it was. sur-prising ,to see. hini finishing :in greatstyle .on the outside to get second. Heis a'solid type of three-year-old andmay have hisnext outing at Trentham.It will not be surprising to find Hunt-ing Jay playing his part in handicapcompany next season,,for his three out-ings at Ellerslie' were' of the' impressiveorder. He ran well in the JervoisHandicap, under 9.4, finishing third; andthen he ran away with the CarbinePlate, even if he was not eligible tOt!either of these .two events. In' the!

mile handicap on the final day he dweltslightly at the barrier, and 'was thenrushed through on the rails to thefront, and it was only in the last fur-long, that he weakened into fifth, place.Had he been better placed, so that hisrider could have exercised more pati-ence, Hunting Jay mighthave justifiedhis position in the betting as secondfavourite. > .'■"'"!"

BIG RIVER GOLDMINESDirectors of Big River Gold Mines,■Ltd., intheir statementsof accounts for theyear ended December 31,describe the com-

pany's mining property extending over200 acres in the Big River district, heldunder special quartz elaiins, together withwater rights, machine,special and tail-ing sites. .The plant at the mine consistsof a modern winding plant, air com-pressor, engine and electric dynamo forlighting purposes, aerial tramway. (47chains long) for .transporting quartz tothe battery of ten heads (water driven),with electric lighting plant, also twoiWilllcy concentrators" -ami steel'cyanideplant at Uig River. In Deep deck thecompany also owns coal-mining rightsovci H'J acres and 10 acres respectively;but the coalmine has not yet been re-conditioned.

Prospecting, and developing operationshave been carried on steadily throughoutthe period. Operations have been chieflycentred in No. 1, 2, and 3 levels,and lat-terly in No. 4 level.

Some investigational and testing workwas done on two surfaceore bodies ex-posed to the south of the main shaft, butvalues obtained were not sufficient towarrant further work.

Although the results obtained fromprospecting operations conducted throughthe year have not disclosed anything of,permanent importance, the directors feelhopeful that the several points at which,exploration work is now under waywillreveal payable results in the near future.The ore bodies in the mine have alwaysbeen somewhat erratic, and it is'difficultto forecast when a payable lode will beencountered. 'During the year the bat-tery crushed 1520 tons of ore from wliich550 tons of sand were saved for treatmentby cyanide. The j'ield of gold was 828ozlOdtyt from both sources, which realised£5572 12s' 7d after payment of realisa-tion expenses and gold duty. "■

The thanks of the directors are ex-tended to the officialsof the companyforthe loyal manner in which they. havecarried out their respective duties.MOTUROA OIL FIELDS.

In the Public Eye

SIR JOHN REITH.One of the most interesting names int;he King's Birthday Honours List wasAhafbf Sir John Beitli. Sir John

CharlesWalsham Keith, who was gen-eral manager of the British Broadcast-ing Company ■until it was transformedinto the British Broadcasting Corpora-tion, of which he became governingdirector, was born in 1880. He servedau apprenticeship as an engineer, andjustbefore the' war received an appoint-ment on the staff of a London firm. Hojoined the Koyal ■Engineers and reach-ed the rank of major. He was severelywounded, and after his recovery wassent to the United States in chargeof munitions contiaets for Great Bri-tain. His active interest in broadcast-ing began in ''1922, when the BritishBioadcasting Company was formed. In1929 Sir John Keith was offered thechairmanship of «a big commercial con-cern in the city with a salary of£10,000, but, though ho was getting£4000 less from the British Broadcast-ing Company, he refused tho position.He is outspoken in his views on broad-casting. In 1930 he declared that hispolicy was to give the public not whatit wanted, but what it ought to want.Ho objected to the control of/'ibrbad-casting by the State. Entertainmentwas tho primary function, but thereshould be constant and cumulative con-tributions to .the intellectual and moralwelfare of the community. Kccentlytho administration has been severelycriticised on the ground that controlat Broadcasting House is so autocraticas to be almost ridiculous, but.ho hasdefendedhis methods before, a Commit-tee of tho House of Commons.Dr. E./L. Bainton.

Equally at homo with tho hiker'shaversack, or tho conductor's . baton,Dr. E. L. .Bainton, the new director oftho Conservatorium, reached Sydney bytheComorin. .In his leisure hours thereis nothing he likes better than hiking,and Mrs. Bainton is also a keen hiker,the couple coveiing anything up totwenty-five miles in a day. Dr. Bain-ton said he was looking forward verymuch to the new position. This wastho only partiof the British Empire, hethought, where music was' officially re-cognised by.ia State Government.Fromwhat he had seen, a very fine founda-tion had been laid by,Dr. Orchard andMr. Verbruggen. Everywhere thereseemed to be a revival of ,good music,he sai,d. Ho dicl not think jazz hadto be leclfoned.with very much longer,except as an aid to dancing. The goodqualities of jazz were being incorpor-ated in the higher class modern music,such as that of Kavel, Stravinsky, andtho Australian domposer; ConstantLam-bert. Dr. Bainton said ho hbpiid to in-troduce a good deal of modern musicat the orchestral concerts of the Con-servatorium. 'Sir Oswald Stoll.

There has .- never been .a theatricalmanager with a more universal sym?pathy than. Sir Oswald .Stoll; ■"■■ Astrange, large-minded, wonderful man.Tho only kind of entertainment onecould not expect to find, him interestedin would be tho running of a littletheatre. Anything little, unless it bea turn of "dwaifs" or a troupe of pup-pets, would seem' outside his boundary.He is bow, at the Alhambra, returningto his first love, the music hall.

His association with variety has beena long and honourable one. He it waswho first made the music-hall a familyresort. lie it was who first tempted thomost biilliant talent of the legitimatestage to exhibit its range in a twenty-minutes' sketch as a vaudeville act.His "turns" at the Coliseum and else-uhoie have included the artists ofevery nation under the sun. They havebeen so vaiied in character and scope asto. embrace every interest known toman.

A pioneer in many directions, ho: hasbeen identified as impresario with manyof the Biost lavish, the most beautiful,the most impressive, tho most originalspectacular shows London has seen. His-ballets havo been distinguished forsplendour, charm, taste, vitality, fancy,and iantasy. He is a man of largeideas, always. And foitunatoly fortho publicho can always command thecapital to:Carry them out.

Ho is;concluding a gallantadvanturoin the cause of Shakespeare in the WestEnd at the Alhambra. There, with thehelp of Air. Stanley Bell, his produc-tions of '.'Henry V," "Julius Caesar,"and "The Merchant of Venice" havedemonstrated his idealism, his power oforganisation, the:downrightness of hisviews, and his courageiv giving expres-sion to them. No one unblessed withcolossal nerve, immediate and immensepowers of decision, and much readycash could havo or would have so ven-tured.

To jump, as Sir Oswald can do, fromthe commercial routine of picture palaceor music-hall to the aesthetic pano-lama of a pageant of Indian dancesong,and story like "TheGoldenToy,"on to tho subtle harmonies and poeticcharm of Shakespeare's rhythms, andback again to the rough and tumble ofcross-talks, trick -cyclists, or interna-tional gymnasts, must arguo a plas-ticity of purpose, a receptivity of everykind of appeal in amusement'such as noother man in the theatre world with thosolitary exception, perhaps, of C. B.Cochruncan claim to possess.

He has devoted his whole life to-show-manship. For over fifty; years,ho hasapplied a superhuman energy to hisjob as director of theatre and music-hall. Every movement towards pro-gress■kiiown to both spheres ho hasmade a personalpoint of supporting. Hewas pno of the contributors to ■ andaiders of the funds of the NationalTheatre.

To Hook at him you would scarcelythink of him as anything but a citymagnate. He is oA the surface justa: big: man of big business ideas, witha facility for large-scale figures pheno-menal in its grasp and its accuracyBut behind that impassive mask is the"brain .of the biggest visionary, thegreatest dreamer in present-daytheatres, a soul to whom the littlethought, the petty act, the trifling, in-consequent miniature idea is of no in-terest or consequence.

Austria is proposing to blot out theword Republic from its Constitution;it is to be simply Austria, and not the.Republic of Austria—with what ulti-mate purpose nobody. knows, unless itis to be thereturn of a royal house. InHungary, too, the idea of the possiblereturn of the royal house is preservedin the continued rulo of AdmiralHorthy.

Not long ago in Budapest a visitingEnglish M.P. traced, iv a friendly littlespeech, the many sympathies whichexist between his own country andHungary. But one of "them ho missed:the' curious little fact that, while Eng-land is ruled by a sailor king, Hun-gary, bereft of her seaboard, is gov-erned by an... admiral.

The domination of ,the Habsburgscame to an end.in the general upheavalwhich followed the war. The ensuingCommunstregime brought such miseryon all classes that when, in the autumnof 1919,Admiral Horthy rode into thecapital at the head of an army he hadorganised in the midst of the prevail-ing ,

chaos, ho was acclaimed as asaviour and placed at the head of thoState.. '"And so Nicholas Horthy, gentleman,descendant of a long row of simpleHungarian, squires, took up his abode,with his wife, two sons, and a daugh-ter, in the 'stately royal palace ofBuda.'. Of its 81<'.--rooms.'lie-inhabitsonly nine, but the two halberdiers whoguard tho entrance arc as magnificentand statuesque as of old. For, whilesternly simple in his .private life out-wardly the Regent is careful to adhere toall the forms and ceremonies which informer, days lent glamour to the kinglystate. His work, which he takes veryseriously, is that of a constitutionalsovereign. His pastimes aro those ofany healthy, active man with sportingtastes. ■ ■'■

While yet a schoolboy he practicallywrenched from his parents their consentto his replacing in the Navy his elderbrother, who hadbeen accidentallykilled at manoeuvres. Vividly alive,of medium height but magnificent phy-sique, he is,, with.'his keen, clean-cutface. and flashing eyes, a typical Hun-garian. ... His. chief characteristics, ac-"cordirig ,to those who know: him .best,are his invincible faith < (he has beencalled a fanatical optimist) and hisuncompromising rectitude. A quaintincident may .serve to -illustrate this.'It has ever been tho custom that theofficers commanding the company tem-porarily on duty at the palace shouldbe fed from the royal kitchens. After.Admiral Horthy's access to power themeals sent across .to the military quar-ters were of such extreme simplicitythat their recipient- considered it- duoto themselves to lodge a complaint.

Tho ensuing inquiry, which provedbeyond a doubt that the meals sent tothe officers were identical with thoseserved at the Regent's table, broughtthe matter to the Regent's notice,whereupon he declared that he had noright to force anyone to live less wellthan ho had been used to,. and gaveorders that henceforth;'■ all officers atthe palace should be fed from the of-ficers' moss at the Regent's expense.Slight as is this incident, it may throwsome light on■ thofact that, in tho notquite fifteen years of his Regency, Ad-miral Ilorthy, far from enriching him-self, has had to part with one of thetwo estates ho owned. Everyone,prince or. pauper, Cabinet Minister prchimney-sweep,can gain access to Hun-gary's Regent.

Mr. Justice McArthur.Mr. Justice Stewart McArthm, one of

the puisne Judges of tho Supreme|Court, of :Victoria, who has been in illhealth for some considerable time, whorecontly forwarded' his resignation to'the Governor iv Council, i's widely|.known.

Tho State Attorncv-Gcneral (Mr. R.G. Menzies), in making the announce-,incntl of the resignation, said: "It iswith very great regret that I have toannounce that his Honour, Mr; JusticeMcArthur, who. has had a serious andprolonged illness, has resigned his ofiicc.as a Justice of tho Supreme Court ofVictoria. His name at" tho.Bar, and onthe Bench, has always been aSSociatedwith the best legal tradition. On thoBench ho established himself as a. Judgewho spared'ho pains to getat tho truth.His findings of fact'were invariablyformed by shrewd common sense and a|knowledge of men, and his judgmentson points of law wore always soundi ,There is no man in the legal professionwho will not regret tho circumstancesleading up to his Honour's lesigna-tion."

Mr. .Justice. McArthur, who is in hisseventy-third year, was 'appointed tothe Supremo Court bench in January,1920 Nearly twentyyears before thathe had been'offered-a County CourtJudgeship, which, howoycr, he declined.Educated at Geelong College and enter-ing Melbourne University in 1880 as aresident of-Trinity "College under Dr.keeper, he remained a student atTrinity until the opening of OrmondCollege, where he was the first studentto be enrolled and subsequently thefirst president of the Old Ormond Col-;legians' Association. He obtained hisI/Liß. degree in, 1882, and two years:later was called to the Bar, where hemade rapid progress and soon becameleader of the County Court Bar. Hetook silk in 1912. While practising in-the! County Court and Supreme Courtshe twas associated in many importantcases with other prominent members ofthe,Bar, such-as the present Governor-General,Sir'lsaac. Isaacs, Sir; FrankGavan Duffy, the late Sir Leo Cussen,Sir William Irvine, tho late Mr.Justice HigginsJ and the late Mr.;'.J:,L.■.Purves.

Aftera little when he showed signs of tiring,we speeded up and were moving at 21miles per hour when we passed him.It seemed as if the driver of the ■■ carCame abreast of the cyclist about onesecond before the observer did so, andhe was sitting on the seat justbehindthe driver.

A correspondent, writing from Wha-ngarei, sends the following problem:—Three men, A, B, and C, went for aweek's shooting, each/of them taking ahundred cartridges. At the end oftheir holiday A had,shot 90 birds, andhe had still 'a few cartridges left. B'stotal was less than this, and he had20 cartridges left over. Cs total wasonly four-fifths of that of B. Allthree men had averaged the same num-ber of cartridges for each bird killed,and only . fifteen cartridges had beenwasted. The problem is to find howmany each man shot and also how manyhe missed. , 'AN AUCTIONEER'S PROBLEM.

Three sheep owners, A, B, and C, eachsent one truck of sheep to a saleyard,the numbers of the consignments beingA 59, B CO,and C 61. Each of thesewas.divided'jintotwo lots, of which onefetched one shilling per head morethan the otljer. The two prices werethe same in'the case of all three con-signments, and wero' multiples of oneshilling without any additional pence.The three cheques received from thebuyers were'each for the same amount,namely, £.43 10s. The problem is tofind what were the two prices, andhow many ofJ each truck load were soldat -eachA price.

COREESPONDENCE RECEIVED.Two clerks, who work in the same

office, were asked one Saturday whatwas the averago number of letters re-ceived by their, firm daily during thepast week. They gave inconsistentreplies which differed by 6. The con-fusion was caused by Thursday havingbeen5 a holiday; one of the men makingthe "calculation for six 1days and theother for five. Then one of themadded tho information that the num-bcis received on the five days were alldifferent, butwere all multiplesof nine,and the other, stated that the .totalsreceived on Monday, Tuesday, andWednesday, and again on Friday andSaturday, weie the same. Can read-ers discover what were the numbers ofletters which were received?

A SUBSTITUTION PROBLEM.This is a problem of the usual form,but it has tho advantage that it is cap-

able of a mathematical or non-mathe-matical solution according to. the choiceof those who study it. Letters arewritten in place of numerals, .no twoletters have the same value, and the Ois not used. Two persons spent thesamo sum of money, and this when ex-pressed in pence amounts to TPTJH.Oneof these customers bought 183yardsof .material at the price of P pence.The other selected 161yards of materialat A, B, and C pence, and when theamounts charged are all shown in pencethe invoice reads thus as shown below.P is one : penny .more than A, B is3 pence more than A, and C is 4 pencemore than A. ; The .problem is, to findtho numerical \alue of the letters.

[Ist Notice]i

In what must surely be the briefestblurb on record this book is describedas "an attempt to discover a guiding'principle in public affairs.'' More pro- 'cisely, it might bo said to be concernedwith the philosophy of history, and asI.am not a historian and still less aphilosopher I am doubly disqualified tocriticise- it. But taking a great in-terest in public affairs,knowing goodwriting when I see it and feel it, and !finding this a profoundly inspiring, fas-cinating, moving, and" intensely spirit-ual book, I■: am tharikf u\to have theopportunity of explaining, as well as Ican, what the book is about and ofgiving the impression that it has madeupon me, and "as far as possible byallowing it to speak for itself.

In a brief introduction Mr. Curtisrefers to the immense additions whichthe'calculations of modern science havolately made-both to the.length of thoprehistoric age and-to the future dura-tion of human life upon the planet, andhe regards the second of these changesas^byfar the more important-in itseffect upon human thought of the two.

Till a few generations ago, he writes,it was commonly supposed that the lifeof man on the earth began about 40008.C., as the dates printed in editions ofthe Bible which are not very'old continueto remind us. The Christian world was,long taught to believe that its end would'come in a sudden cataclysm, which mightbe expected at any moment.

On the first point, however, Mr.Curtis seems to underestimate both thoprecision of the old chronologists andthe authority which they still exercise.There was no margin of error in theircalculations. ' It was not "about 40008.C.," but it was 4004 B.C. withoutany peradventure, and the practice ofprinting that date in the margin ofthe Bible is neither obsolete nor even,I believe, obsolescent. As it is to-tained in editions published by thoOxford University Press in 1899 and1917,'the chances are that most Teprintsof ]the.~A.V. still'retain it.

Believing that' ",tho idea of societyas something . recent and essentiallytransient has profoundly influencedpolitical - thought -for eighteen 'centur-ies," ..Mr..,-.Curtis/attachos' great' im-portance "to'the immeasurable extensionsopened'Jup" -by'"'"science "in " both (direc-tions.":: '"':! ;". ' ' ■ ; - ,■

Astronomers ' and physicists " encourageus,: he .writes/to.assume that'our earthiv-fll continue) to support human life formillions of years. Yet political thinkingis still slow to absorb the idea that humansociety- is' 'yet- in" its infancy, ' with vastspaces of time in which to fulfil. the.des-tiny that awaits it. " 'While astronomers arid physicists' re-gard this as probable, they are also ableto 'predict, with certainty^ that an age,however distant,' must' come 'when thisplanet will cease to support any form oflife; The cold faceof the moon is there,'like, the mummied ' corpse, at. Egyptianfe_asts, to remind uS'Ofatjnie when humanhistory, however proloriged and howeverglorious, will be as a tale 'that is told,with no one to tell it and no' one, to hoarit;* ~ ; '.'■':' ; "';'" .:,'■-'-";,'.'■7. :. .hu-.'-:>

-'.■T_h'is ;is but a decidedlychilly passage,arid I do not .quite'ap-preciate the logic with which that lunarcorpse-is -brought in. ■ Is-it to- ajjatethe pride with which we might other-wise have regarded the extension ofonr lease by a few more million.;years?But there are two reasons why I de-cline to be dismayed. In the firstplace I have not such confidencein -theinfallibility of science as to-be quitecertain that, it is riot:mistaken. Sec-ondly,I have such-complete-confidenceinj its future powers as to-believe :that,as-soon as/; this home of ours begins toget too.'cold,, science will be clevorenough to find'us a'title clear to someother,mansions in the-skies where theclimate: is more, suitable, and ■ also" toprovide us with^the^means of reachingthem. Dur.ing'Sthe Jast'hundred yearsscience has accomplished so much,whichis impossible

_and incredible that it

would be unreasonable to s,et any arbi-trary limits to its achievements by. thetime the,millions of. year^..fo,r whic.hour lease is still good have,MJ6mo'to';anend. ..;""- ■-:■".'■; '-w--; !■"; '^';'V'"''

In his second'and" third chapters Mr.Curtis...traces, the genesis of - the Stateand its early deyelopmeiitrin the' greatresofvpirs of population in South-east-ern-Asia. ' Almost at-the outset andapropos of the village meetings andtribal assemblies in .which the machin-ery of government doubtless had its be-ginnings he mentions a principle whichis plainly of capital importance to thecause of human progress,arid to whichhe assigns a high ethical as wellpolitical value. These village communi-ties are called by Sir Henry Maine in-fant republics, but Mr. Curtis points-outthat their development into genuine oir-gans of government was a very, slowbusiness.

When a number .of.people .meet .to dis-.cuss some question at. issue betw.een tliem,he writes, they, naturally, assume that asettlement must be based'on agreenient ofall concerned., iThis assumption governedHomeric assemblies and those of the Cel-tic, German,arid Slavonictribes. It stillprevails in■,thefamilies,.of China,,in thegatherings of North American' Indians, andin the Pitsos and Indabas'of. the Banturaces. Itsurvived in the-Polish Diet tillthe eighteenth<:'cehtury,; to the ' ruin ofPoland, and still survives in the Englishjury, as litigan'fs, sometimes" find to theircost. . ;- .-;,- '-. '■ '. -

Freedom and self-government werehopelessly handicapped in their compe-tition with a tyranny which was power-fully supported by religious supersti-tion as long as they were tied by thisrule of unanimity.' "A ruler," saysMr. Curtis, "who believes that hispower is_of God, because it is power,regards its extension as an act ofpiety,'' and thus the theory. .of' divineright with its presumption'"that theordinary man is incapable learningwhat is best for himself in public af-fairs acquired irresistible force.

By enabling their .village.,communitiestoreach decisions [bya majority-vote], theGreekswere destined 'to release mankindfrom this vicious circle.-They -were makingit possible for ordinary,men to read thelessons of experience in public'life. '. ..Aman artificially relieved from the necessityor- makingpractical,decisionsremains: withthe mind i.of ia child tb^the end. . .:.That-'Bufferin?;:iß'--'nbt-';th'eiiiltimate.;punish-msnt of error, but;only a guide to wis-dom, is'a. truth to be learned from the'discipline of Nature.- In that school andin;no other can its pupils discover that a

preference for justice is the final goodand a preference for injustice the'absoluteevil. - ".-"-""

The escape which tho ancient Greeksthusi discovered from the vicious circlewas therefore, in Mr. Curtis's opinion,something ; more than a. mero ruleof convenience; it was an essen-tial of progress,not political only, butmoral ■ and intellectual also. Veryneatly he'dismisses " 'vox populi,voxDeL the gibe of those who 'dislikepopular government," as "a coveit ap-peal to the creed that guidance in pub-lic,affairs is really a matter of divineinspiration." At the samo time herecognises that the inspimtionof some-thing higher than selfishnessis essen-tial to the working of majority rule.

Majority 'lulo,' says Mr. Cuitis, canoperate only in so far' "as citizens have.come to recognise the' interests of thecommonwealth as above their own, andin fact treat that interest as their highestgood. The. axiom which explains allothers,but cannot be explained, is this,that a'man's highest good is to use-him-[self Tor the benefit of others. Imperfectaa they'are, human beings are capable of

'loving their'neighbours as themselves andi■« ill come to doso the more'they arecalledIupon to exercise this faculty. Suchmutual devotion, which finds its expres-sion in a sense of duty, is the ultimatebond which unites society.

♦ ,' » ""We have here an anticipation of theconclusion, at- which,, after jreviewitig

' the contributions of Palestine as wellas those of Greeceand Rome to human1progress,Mr. Curtis ultimately arrives,namely, that "a commonwealth issimply the Sermonon the Mount trans-lated into political terms."

It looksJike'ia big:year'for the title 'writers,whose chief .duty seems to be to- hidesuch literary 'light under a bushel.ofdisguise, ,says the "Christian: sSeienceMonitor;" '■; 'It is a depressing thought, says SirJohn Squire in the "London Mer-cury," -that most of our greatest poetshave.Veither Jiad '"private incomes orsppnged:on their frien_ds.

MANCHUDYNASTYSTORY OF ITS FALL

No Englishman, possibly no Euro-pean, has ever possessed a more inti-mate knowledge of. China and theChinese than Sir Reginald Johnston;and no foreigner has-ever" had the op-portunity of studyingfrom within thelife and routine of the most exclusiveand ceremonious Court in the world.In his capacity of tutor to the Em-peror..-he had access to apartmentswhich none but the highest Chineseroyalties and officials over entered,and, possessing as perfect a knowledgeof the language as can be. attained bya'foreigncr, he understood all that waspassing around him. Hence "Twi-light in the Forbidden City," a lavisli-ly illustiatcd volume by Sir ReginaldF. Johnston, is a most important andvaluable historical narrative.

In it the veil is lifted from scenesand: incidents which, have hithertobeen described mainly from conjecture.Dozens of books have been writtenround the period dealt with by SirReginald, namely, the last" twelve yearsof the Manchu dynasty,,and the riseo£ the Chinese,Republic, and thus . thenames of the chief protagonists, asjfor example, Yuan Shih-k'ai, Sun Yat-sen, K'ang Yu-wei, Chang Tso-lin,Feng Yu-hsiang, are all familiar tothe genera] reader.- But the most out-standing figure is that of the greatDowager- Empress T'zu-Hsi, whichseems to dominate the whole book, al-though she."died ,in 1908. It was shemore than anyone clso who sealed thefate of the Manchu dynasty, althoughshe may also be said to have delayedits fall, and in this-book, at any ratosho is assigned her true place in his-tory, and Sir Reginald is unsparing inhis condemnation of this Vain woman,whose,ignorance and bigotry were onlyequalled.by her vindictiveness andcruelty., The chapters dealing with'tho " removal of 'the Emperor from the For-bidden City to the Pei Fa, on thenorthern extremity'of Peking, and thesmuggling of the Emperor from thePei Fu to tho Legation Quarter andimmunity, are most thrillingly told bythe author, who was mainly responsiblefor this latter plan. It had becomeevident that the'Emperor's life was,inconstant danger, owing to tho quarrelwhich-had arisen between Chang Tso-lin, the triumphant war lord of Man-churia, ■ and Feng Y;u:hsiang, ■ theChristian general.

GLIMPSESOFKENYAThe first experience that C. I. Stone-ham had of Africa (his description of

it as a huge Bright Continent shattersthe usual one) was as an infantrymanin the East African campaign. Hedetermined that, ■ when he escaped"from the torment and slavery of thesoldier's lot," he could bo happy inthat country, which was then sparselysettled and had a white population ofonly 3000. When, several years after-wards, tho author and a companion setout to try their- fortune in Kenya (astho new colony was called),'it was tofind that earning a living was not soeasy as they ■ imagined.. Eventuallythey'decided to sot up as butchers atNanyuki; which is situated in one ofthe loveliest spots on earth. It wasa pleasant life, and before they failedthey had, some amusing and thrillingexperiences. Those arc related in".Africa All Over," ,the best chapterof which is tho final one on GettingLost, with its description of aprimevalforest with' the Gunga Lake in themiddle, which was so uncanny thateven Mr. Stpneham's horso refused todrjnk from. it.

THEROMANCEOFFUR

>"Beavers, Kings, and ,Cabins," byConstanceLindsay Skinner, is a vigor-ous and interesting book about a sub-ject not generally familiar.. Indians, welearn,1 in the olden days offered theirbest furs in exchange for the knivesused by early, cod-fishers. The cod-fish trade resulted from John Cabot'saccidental discovery of Newfoundlandwhen he was seeking a short cut toChina. , <'To Hym that foundo thenew lie—■£,10:, so ran an item in thecareful accounts of King Henry. VII.The- .I'He''was Newfoundland, arid"Hym that founde" it'was Cabot, thoBristol adventurer. And after cod camefur. England and France fought forthe spoils that were once the Indian'salone. Much blood was shed,red man'sand white man's as well as that ofbeaver, marten, otter, fox, mink,skunk, wolverine, lynx, wolf, bear.Beaver for hats alone brought fortunesto fur dealers and hatters. In the Stuartperiod the staid Puritan and the dash-ing Cavalier had one thing at least incommon—beaver hats. ThePuritan worehis. plain, wide of brim, the crown afoot tall; the. Cavalier, copying theKing, preferred his low of crown,sweping of brim, and handsomelyplumed.

THEMEANINGOFMARXPerhaps some readers will be dis-

appointed by G. D. H. Cole's "WhatMarx Really Meant, '.' for the authorsets out to tell ushot what Marx reallymeant, but what Mr. Cole thinks hewould and ought to have said if he hadbeen thinking and writingtoday. It isan expositionnot of Marxism but of thedoctrines of Mr. Cole, using Marx asa peg whereon to hang them. If, how-ever, the title chosen for the bookseems to-be unnecessarily misleading,its contents are probably all thebetter for giving us Mr. Cole ratherthan Marx. For Mr. Cole, as the recog-nised exponent:of Socialist doctrine ascherished by the Labour Party, is, asa practical factor in the politics of to-.dav>a good deal more important thanthe author of' the Communist mani-festo, many of whose theories havebeen proved by the course of historytobe incorrect. From this point of viewit is interesting and significant to notehow handsomely the modern prophetadmits the benefits that have beenwroughtby Capitalism for the workingclasses. .. ■ ' . >

CONSOLATION

PUBLICLIBRARIESBOOKS OF THE WEEK

The Chief Librarian of-the Welling-ton Public Libraries has chosen '.'JacobAcross Jabb'ok," by Gertrude and-M.J. Landa, as the;book of the week andhas furnished the1*following Tevie'w:There is nothing abstruse about thisbook although in an easy, natural styleit tells of the disabilities under whichthe Jewish race labours, and the lovewhich its members have for its religion.Shelman, a Polish refugee, is anxiouslywaiting at the docks to see if his wifeRebecca; will be passed by. the Immi-gration Office into England—and free-dom. She is admitted and a week latertwins are bom, Jacob and Sheba—laterJack and Sheila. The interest of thebook lies between this family of Jewswho live in the East End of LondonJews always bybirth and belief, and theBrocklows—originally Broeklowitz.

Brocklow, formerly a pedlar, hasmade money and married a West EndJewess with Spanish blood in her veins.She .wants to forget the Jewish blood!The Brocklows, too, have two children,Cecil and Veronica. Veronica isbrought up in a foreign convent—Cecilgoesto Rugby; and at the end of histime there his father-eyes him proudlyas one who has progressed from"ghetto denizen to English gentle-man." Jack and Sheila were educatedby their father. Cecil and Jack meetat Cambridge, become fast friends, andall Jewish instincts inborn in Cecil arefostered by Jack. Time goes on—theyboth earn distinction at Cambridge andbecome friendly with an aristocratic

family. The two Jewishxamilies come into contact, not happyat first. Cecil becomes more and moreJewish in his tastes. One of the finestpassagesin the. book is when Jack ex-plains to Grace, the daughter of thenoble family, what it means to be aJew—that ;each individual Jew is heldresponsible for the Crossof Christ andthat that is what keeps the Jews al-ways outcasts. Another fine scene isat the Shelman home where Jack andGrace go,:only to find it in mourningover the. supposed desertion of Jack;and Grace says, referring to this con-versation:. "Tmir son made me realisethat a noble heritage was in my keep-ing; as in his, and how dishonourableit would be to sully it—hi other eyes."

SPOOKSINVARIETY

One advantage of Admittedly ficti-tious spooks over professedly authenticones is that the former behave moreintelligibly. In the thirteen taleswhich comprise "More Spook Stories,"by E. F. Benson,'three ghosts or vam-pires avenge threo '■ murders (thoughin two eases the penalty seems exces-sive): one foreshadows a murder; oneavengesan eviction in Alexandria byugly hallucinations; one fierce spopk-monkcy of obscure origin kills 1a surrgeon for robbing a mummy of hersilver-clamped vertebra; one evil spirithaunts a Roman CatholicI'priest whohad let an innocent man" bo hangedrather than break the seal of confes-sion; one littlo group of Black Masseclebrators is broken up by the per-sistent return of its deceased leader;and one Cornish wishing-well showsitself effective in satisfying a jealouswoman's spitie, and then equally so inpunishing her. The three remainingstories are pleasanter. Indeed, thelast is pure extravaganza, to save thereader from ending the book with ; atendency to nightmare. And the Vic-torian ghost in Story 12, who insistedon keeping up her "Thursday even-ings"with the.music and talk of 1870,is no more alarming to thereader thanshe was to the very modern tenants.The remaining story, "Pirates," isunusual in one way; the haunted house,"Escop," ■ just north-east of Truro,is hardly disguised at all. "LisEscop" is well known, but its 'spooksare-such as outsiders would never hearor. see. The istory is pleasing andpretty, tho best in the book.

LONDON'S.BAKERSSufficient bread of a good quality at

a reasonable price for the customers;the certainty of work and a reasonablereturn for the bakers—that was thedouble aim of a vigilantcontrol main-tained jointly by the city's authori-.ties and^ J;heBakers' Company. "AShort History of the'Worshipful Com-pany of Bakers of London," by SyiviaThrupp, is the story of the continualstruggles to adjust the system to thechanging conditions of the time andthe imperfections of human nature; itshows very clearly, both its virtues andits. weakness. :

The method of arranging the price ofbread was elaborate and curious. Itwas calculated on the cost of wheatto which was added a fixed allowancefor the baker's working expenses. Theprice being .thus,fixed, it did not varywith the fluctuations in the cost ofwheat. ' As that cost rose or declinedso the weight of a loaf diminished orincreased. It was in fixing the allow-ances that the chief difficulty arose. Itwas fixed for long periods; costschanged; the value of money changed;the bakers continually complained thatthe allowance was not -enough. "Work-ing expenses" is the phrase used byMiss Thrupp, but it was in fact bothworking and living expenses for thebaker arid his family. A baker'sbudget of expenses prepared in theseventeenth century included an itemof seven shillings a week for the chil-dren's food, assuming that "a common-lie man hath not lesse than three orfoure children." -

NEWS, VIEWS, AND NOTESFROM VARIOUS SOURCES

CHESTERFIELD,WHEREWIVESAREFORSALE

Chesterfield (England) is the town]where -wives are regularly bought, sold,and exchanged (says a special corre-spondent of the "Sunday Chronicle").I went down there. to discover the

truth about these marriage ■' shuffles.These are some of' the things I ■ dis-covered:— ..

■Two step-brothers, after ten yearsof married life,, mutually agreed toexchange wives and families, and arenow, living happily. ■" A husband, tiring of married "life.sold his wife for a motor-cycle to alocal clerk. ,:.

Another man "sold" his wife for Isand another for £1, but bought backhis own wife for .£2 a week later.■When I:visited the homes of thestep-brothers who have exchangedwives—they liveonly thirty yards apart—I ■found the two men cutting aridsawing logs while- the womenfolk werehanging out their washing.

_One of the women, fresh-complex-loned, pretty, and dark-haired, told meth& story of their queer household."We all get on very -well together

one told me, "we do not miss our ownchildren.' ■■■:■ """«-';;*,:'~.;«;■ .:>'. ;'/'i / :;"They all go Off to "school together,and play in the woods during the day.

They certainly; do'not grumblß"aboutthe exchange." : .''".".-I was introduced to , the clear-eyed;

dark-haired "cluster of' healthy, young

children -who ran shouting throngh thewoods. Tanned the colour of brownberries, they run about leading a natu-ral healthy life.

"I'm glad for their sakes that we'veall settled down happily," said one ofthe mothers.

_"Mind you, it needed a lot of think-

ing out, and since it has succeededthere's hp chance that we shall takeour own husbands back.", '.'"..

Here is the story of another marriage

"shuffle that did not -work out soeasily.: ■ ■..-"< . ■■ .-.■

_A young miner, after quarrelling trith

his wife,-gathered (Several of his friendsround him to discuss his marriagetroubles. . ■:■ -. ■:.-■■"My wife and I 'don't, get on welltogether," he complained. "Anyonecan buy her for £1." ' . ■ ■ ""■

"Right," came the answer like a shot,and the deal was completed.

The wife was taken away in a motor-car, amid cheers and laughter. A weeklater,T the bachelor-husband, tired ofsingle life, bought her back for doublethe amount he had been paid!

Another unhappy married'man de-clared ;to a party of friends: "Whowants to buy my wife for Is?"

His offer was accepted. Both menseem pleased with their bargains—andthe wife 7 declares that;she is happierwith her hew .purchaser.' ■:'■■

/'Baehelpr ,-life . suits me," said theman who exchanged his wife for ' amotor-cycle.' ' ■■'-- ' \ . '"All three of us are happy. She livesnot so far away and I have one boyarid she has the other."

Pastor William Edward Sanderson.ofthe Chesterfield' Church Mission, who

Ihas worked,in the town,fori over twentyyears, told me of hisfesqpenences. :

A STRANGE SPRING-CLEANINGThe wax",effigies'of Eoyal aritlôther

personages in the Islip Chapel at "West-minster Abbey are being restored, totheir former splendour by experts ofthe Victoria and Albert Museum,writesJ. P. Noppen in the ''Daily Mail."

The.first Eoyal figure to be renovated.was; that of King Charles 11, which,..according , t6, tradition, was made to.stand above .his grave, because he hadno other monument. The last Englishking to have an effigy carried at hisfuneral was James,I, and the batteredremains of it are how in the Abbey.museum which opens out of the DarkCloister. . ■

.None of the other wax effigies-tookany part in the Eoyal funeral ceremon-ies. They -were made for show, byspecial permission of- the Dean andChapter, and at the expense of themeinbers'of the choir, who received asliaF° of. tho ices paid by visitors tothe church. The choirmen naturallywished to increase,the Abbey's attrac-tions,,arid the.figures of King William111,Queen Maryland Queen Anne wereall made for that purpose.■ The effigy of Queen Elizabeth wasmade- in anticipation of the two hun-dredth anniversary of her refoundationof the.Abbey.as a Collegiate Church.The Chapter order giving the necessarypermission to the choir was passed onJune '3, 1760. ~'. The frame of the oldfuneral effigy, of the Queen seems tohave been used,as thebasis of the iewone.: "....'. .-..:_■■..

.In 1779,the figure of the Earl of Chat-ham was added to the collection, and itproved.so popular that an extra foewas charged to see it. . The earl isshown, making his. last speech, and ad-mirers. w6re. very enthusiastic in theirpraise of the figure. "It seems to speakas you approach it," they said."Lord Nelson's effigy was introducedas a counteT-attraction to his monumentat St. Paul's, as the latter was drawing

people away. from the Abbey. Theclothes of the admiral's figure, with.theexception of the coat, wero all actuallyworn .by;him in life..: ; ■. \

The -funeral effigy of King James I,"'<with several joynts in.the armes andleggs," was ;made by Maximilian Coult,and cost £10 for the body alono. Thoface and hands, which were, speciallymodelled, cost another £10, and £410s for painting. A crown, with"counterfeit stonnes," -was made for£5; but it got brokon, and "a bettererowne" was ordered for which £10was paid. Daniel Parkes received £10for making the beard and eyebrows.The accounts for all these items are inthe'Eecord Office,Chancery Lane, Lon-don.

The older funeral offlgies of Edward111,Henry VII and his wife Elizabethof York, Mary I, and Elizabeth Tudorwere renovated by order of James I,'in IGOB,and at the same time thepresses, in which: tho wax figures nowstand, were made for them. On August4 in that year, James brought'thc Kingof Norway to see them. ■-■~■

These ancient figures were mutilatedand robbed of most of their clothingduring the time of Cromwell, and theylay neglected until about thirty yearsago. They are now in the Abbey mu-seum and are interesting relics of theancient custom whereby an effigy of adead king, wrought and painted to re-present him as he was in life, was al-ways carried at his funeral.

The system of paying the choir whichproduced the later effigies came to anend. about 1830,and fixed salaries weresubstituted. The "wax worksJ' seemthen to have been little valued, and onMay 26, 1841, the Chapter passed anorder for their removal from IslipChapel to the room under tho south-westtower. "'" .. '""■■ " " "■■■■' ■It was not,'however, carried out, and

the figures remain in'the ehapel,"Ayherothey are every year visited by peoplefrom all parts of the world.

ALL IS NOT JUNK THATCLUTTERS

"A Little of Everything." So ranthe motto over one of the booths' inHie Hobby Collectors' Show held in theB.C.A. Building, New York, where itoccupied two floors and displayed col-lections whose value was estimated atapproximately 3,000,000dollars, saysthe "Christian Science Monitor;" Para-phrased to read, "A Great Deal ofEverything," this sign might haveserved as the slogan for'this exhibition,unparalleled in the history of a city towhich few experiences are novel.~ ■When the show is viewed in retro-spect, one is particularly aware how in-sufficient is a superficial -judgment ofanything. If all is not gold thatglitters, neither,is all junkthat c.lutters.Antique; furnishing of the nineteenthcentury filled sixty booths and lookedtoo.much like portions of LexingtonAvenue transplanted to be exciting.Thirty stalls of postage stamps re-quired the enthusiasm of the specialistin order to' speak understanding^, butburied under heaps of such obviouß ma-terial as hooked rugs, laces, prints, andhousehold ornaments lay items of veryreal value and often touching senti-ment. .-,...

In the historical collections wereshown adraft of the Thirteenth Amend-ment to the Constitution, Robert E.Lee's order.to put John Brown underlock and key after Harper's Ferry, atable used by George Washington inMorristown about. 1779, a map of theNew England and North AtlanticStates printed in .1700, a map of NewYork.City dated 1796, on which thepresent- Forty-second Street is " calledSteuberi'Street, and Fifth Avenue isnamed' Middle Road; a topaz-ring wornby Baronl;v6n Steuben, America's firstdrill master, and. theatrical mementoessuch, as a stage-jewelled belt worn bySarah..Bernhardt whien she playedEm-press Theodora,/ a gold..box\given to

Jenny Lindby Queen Victoria and abrooch watch given.to the same singerby Florence Nightingale. ■ .Sentimental associations were stirredby early American dolls, beaded bell-pulls—which have a way of revivingin the memory or imagination thosestately houses of old in whose kitchensrows of "wire-hung bells responded, tothe upstairs jerk of these substantialcords—table services of black, andwhite milk glass with open borders intowhich ribbons were tuii by aesthetichousekeepers, models of ■ old clipperships, dear to those with a whalingancestry,paper-bound dime novels, anddecrepit bicycles built for one, for. two,for four.

The curios—singularly worthless in-trinsically—seemed to exert a particu-lar fascination over visitors. Therewere match-box labels with advertisingslogans on their backs, steamboat tick-ets, merit cards with niottos upon themonce awarded to the faithful student,and old wooden savings banks.

The scientific collections showedminerals, corals,fossils, meteorites, andearly American equipment for facto-ries and transportation. Major PaulM. Chamberlain showed a fine collec-tion of timepieces which demonstratedthe evolution of time-indicatingmechanism from 1573 until today.

Thus the visitor to the show was con-stantly informed—a little, at least—about a great many things.

.The Brooklyn Museum indicated bya display'of educational material whatit does to interest children in collect-ing; the T.M.C.A. showed its methodsof stimulating boys to make things—for making, maybe just as fine a hobbyas collecting—and ■the exhibit of theNew York Museum of Scienceand In-dustrypresented'a wealthôf suggestivesubject material. . ■

The extraordinary case of.a man whodied under an anaesthetic, but had hisheart massaged and returned to lifefor more than a 'day, was disclosed atan inquest at Nottingham, says a Lon-don paper. ■ ' : " " ■_The man was:Frederick Wolfe,' aged

Co,who was to be operated on at theBagthorpo Infirmary for -the relief ofcancer in the mouth. He was to havebeen treated1by the insertion of needlesof- radium. At the inquest Dr. A. H.Johns said that it was necessary toabandon the operation because respira-tion ceased. . — ;;

"It was about 11.15 a.m. when hisbreathing ceased, and then his: heartstopped beating," said the doctor. "Wemassaged the heart by opening ' thestomach, and after about five minutesthe heart commenced beating again andbreathing restarted. Mr. Wolfe diedabout 12.15 p.m. the following day."

The Coroner: He died and>recoveredagain then? ■■""-.:Witness: Yes; that is what it

amounts to. He died about twenty-fivehours after the heart ' first stoppedbeating. ' :. -■. ",: ■Mr. V..Lewis, representing the Health

Department: Is twenty-five hours along' period for a patient to be keptalive after his heart has first stoppedbeating and restarted? ,Witness: It is.. There is on record alonger period. . " :-.Mr. Lewis: The man was actuallydead at one time? '■' ", ■■The doctor:; Yes.

The Coroner recorded a verdict thatMr. Wolfe died from oedema of thelungs and heart failure 'from a fattyheart, accelerated by an anaestheticproperly, administered for an operationfor the relief of a cancer in themouth. :

The case recalls that,of a womanwhowas restored to life last year at St.George's Hospital, London. The woman"died" during the operation" undersimilar circumstances to Mr. Wolfe.Her heart and respiration ceased, andshe was, in fact, dead. Similar measureswere taken to those described at theinquest. She left hospital cured, andwas nevertold that science hadrestoredher to life. 'The Bagthorpe Infirmary authoritieshad had every hope .that Mr. Wolfewould make a complete recovery, andwould, in fact, be well enough to un-dergo the operation before leaving hos-pital.

" It' is routine treatment in themodern operating/theatre," a medicalauthority said. "When a collapseoccurs, these measures are adopted, andthero are probably many cases in whichsuccess has been achieved, and the factshave not been made known.

"In the case of Mr. Wolfe, had herecovered, the doctors and nurses attho hospital would probably haveguarded tho-secret. It would 'obviouslybo unwise to tell a patient what hadoccurred, when he mightbe called uponto'undergo other operations in future."

IS THE LOCH NESS MONSTERA HOAX?

The story of a sea serpent' hoaxperpetrated

_upon the summer colonyat Lake George 30 years ago was re-vealed recently by Harry W. Watrous,80-year-old president of the NationalAcademy of Design, at New York.■Mr. Watrous said he . told his storybecause of the many current tales of'sea serpents, and declared that, in-hisopinion, the Scots were "spoofing" theworld in like manner with a mechanical

monster in Loch Ness.' "In the hope of having some "good-natured fun" at the expense of hisfriends and associates, Mr. .Watrous30 years ago constructed,with the aidof several conspirators, a mechanicalsea serpent, or hippogriff, at his LakeGeorge summer home. The artist stillhas the "serpent" in the barn of hissummer house,where it has been keptsafe under lock and key since that week30 years ago when the mechanicalmonster almost depopulated ■ LakeGeorge as a resort. -r . ... ■

Iteeent photographs of the Loch Nessmonster so closely resembled > Mr.'"TOaibKVjis's creation that he decided to;tell In&'<seßi-et to the world, he said.^''i"I got a cedar log and fashionône end of it into my idea of at;:&2

monster," Mr. Watrous recalled. ■ i'4gave the monstera big mouth, a coupleof ears resembling those of an ass,several gigantic teeth, and two ugly-eyes consisting of telegraph pole insula-tors of green glass."After the creation had received a"few coats of gaudy paint, Mr. Watrouswas ready; to spring his trap, and he

admitted that he was almost frightenedhimself when he first saw his mechani-cal serpent leap out of the waters ofLake "George. The "sea serpent" waslowered to the bottom of the lake,where it was attached to a pulley,through which a rope led to shore andinto the hands of the manipulators.At the approach of a boatload offriends, Mr. Watrous, hiding behinda clump of bushes, would, release hismechanical creation, which rose likea. "menacing monster, the glare ofthe sea-greeneyoshaving a particularlybaleful effect oil the women." Withina few days all of Lake Georgo hadheard about the sea monster andsummer residents were leaving1 in-droves.

All the metropolitan newspapers pub-lished long accounts with interviewsfrom eye witnesses of the sea monster.Mr. Watrous had a grand time, butdecided at last to end his joke whenthe appearance'of the "serpent" brokevp1 the marriage of a newly-marriedcouple, he explained., '(We 'released the monster atonetimo just as a pair of newly-wedscame along in a canoe," he said. "Withone glance at the vision', and 'utterlyignoring hisbride, the young manleaped into the lake, struck out for theshore and' disappeared in the woods.'When,he sought to make up with hisbride she refused to see-him,and thatwas one reason why I took from LakeGeorge for ever the first fresh-watersea serpent ever seen in the UnitedStates."

THENORTHERNMOSTBIRTHINTHEWORLD

Karma Vassilieva is a very remark-able little girl.

Not only was she born nearer theNorth Pole than anyone else in theworld, but as a six-months-old babyshe has had an adventure which noother child of her agehas experienced,for she has travelled, by ship and byaeroplane, the whole sweep of the northSiberian coast, ' says the "Children'sNewspaper." ,

Karma was born six months ago onboard the Chelyuskin in the Kara Sea,after which she was named. She hasspent her first winter in Arctic dark-ness, and lias been a source of joy toValentina Buiko, the only other childon board. With their mothers and theeight other women in the party,thesebabies were the first to be rescued fromthe ice-floe on which over 100 peoplehave been spending anxious weeks.

The story of the rescue is one of themost thrilling chapters in flying. Whenthe Chelyuskin sank 102 castawaysmade5 a camp on the ice:floe, theirleader, Professor Schmidt, keeping intouch by wireless with Wellen Camp atEast Cape, Siberia. At East Cape wasan aeorplane --awaiting a favourablemoment when the snow blizzards ceasedto rage. The castaways set to work toprepare a landing-ground, but as theice near their camp was rugged theyhad to row to a comparatively smoothfloe, there to level the ice hummocksin readiness.

The storm ceased,and a pilot namedLevadiefsky, with his observer:Petroff,made the journeyj although there were72 degrees of frost. It was a terriblerisk, for the machine was a heavy onewith a high landing speed. Immedi-

ately the aeroplane landed all was hastein the camp, for by this time two milesof sea separated it from the aerodrome.Karma and Valentina, with the tenwomen, were hurried into the ship'sboat and rowed across the two miles;then, packed in the aeroplane, they

were carried to.safety to AVellen Camp.Valentina-is the daughter of theCommandant of Wrangel Island, Karmais the daughter of ;a scientist, and theirmothers,were on their way to stay atWrangel Island, where a colony hasbeen living for many years and wheretheir husbands are engaged in: scientificwork for the Eussian Government.

We may be surprised to hear thataerodromes;and-wireless- stations existin Northern Siberia, but wonderful" de-velopments have been taking place inthe course of the last few years hi thatvast area. , Eussia has thousands ofmiles of coast; line bordering on thedreary Arctic seas, and romantic writ-ers have often pictured this cold terri-tory covered with nourishing cities anafactories brought into being by vastrich deposits of minerals. Now partof this dream has come true, and thereseems no reason whyArctic Russia ofthe future should not be thickly popu-lated. Archangel has now a populationof a quarter of a million, and NorthEussia is becoming one of the; biggestindustrial areas in the Soviet "Onion.

It.is, generally speaking, a cold andinfertile region, but ways:out of thesedifficulties, have been found. " A coal-field has been discovered containing, itis said) a billion tons, to say nothingofoil. " ■ -.

Copper, lead, and tin have been foundtfn Severnaya Zemlya, an island whichwas not mappeduntill929, and goldhasbeen found on the Biyer Kolyma.

THE RISE OF THE MODERNCIRCUS

Barnum's first tiny circus was a"wagon show," reaching cities andhamlets by.patient horse power. Sowas his more ambitious Asiatic Cara-van, Museum and Menagerie, which of-fered the "Lilliputian General TomThumb" to a palpitating patronage.My father travelled with a "mudsliow'^—:the\troupers' name for a showmoved on horse-drawn vehicles, says awriter-in the "New York Times." Atone stage of his career the colourfulPogey O'Brien owned and directed fiveof them simultaneously. Forepaugh,the -Sells brothers and the Kinglingslaid: the foundations of their fortunesby "bucking the mud."

Not until the Eighteen Seventies didthe imaginative W. C. Coup see thepractical advantage of moving Bar-num's "Great Travelling >Exhibitionand, World's^Fair'on Wheels" on anespecially-constructed railroad train.Coup got the idea, frpm Spalding andKogers, .who made some of their movesoji hired railroad cars justbefore theCivil War. ; But Coup "went on therails" in a bigger way, and all majorcircuses promptlyfollowed suit. .

For nearly forty years railroadingwas the accepted method of "routingthe show into-the money," of "pitch-ing at-the good'Spots" and avoidingpoor ones. :;Forepaugh, Sells brothers,and other contenders for the title of"greatest,/ enterprisingly followed theCoup-Barnum example-. So did the ris-ing Ringlings. When the ninetiesdawned, nearly twenty major andminor circuses. and menageries weretouring the country, "jumping ahundreds or more miles each night asagainst the twentyor thirty laboriousmiles possible to. horse-traction.

They ran'on rails through the dark-ness into .end-of-the-line ' communitiesright behind..sweating track-layingcrews; hunted'Bhow-hungry towns clear

across the continent; covered 12,000ormore miles between Spring and Fall,carrying on garishly-painted :": specialcircus trains, a thousand persons,■-five-hundred trained horses and a halfthousand wild animals in one company.In a sense, that was the golden ageof circuses. The Hinglings were .fight-ing Barnum and Bailie, for supremacy;A wealthynewspaper proprietor^ FrankTammen of Denver, grew enamoured ofthis American version of gipsy life, andmade his Cells-Floto Circus' Beautifula' high-salaried haven for : hard-work-ingtroupers.l " ' ■: '; -,

With him, as with his rivals,. ■"an'enormous "big top" sheltered threerings..two stages, and an immensemenagerie. Each morning—by way ofheralding the arrival of the "greatestshow"—a grai£* free,' golden and glit-tering . ;paged!!i;; wound ..gorgeouslythrough.crow&tl streets in the mannerof Pompey's trfcte?fts. Barnum andForepaugh startled the natives byfree-ly exhibitinga bandwagon."hauled byforty—count 'em, forty—^-horses alldriven by one single driver!". TheAmerican circus had reached-its zenith.

Then the horseless buggy emergedfrom minor machine shops; struggledthrough mud and countless-joke booksinto a twentieth-century " necessity.Automobile owSiers,weary of . badroads, insisted on the building of con-crete highways. Suddenly there weremillions of motor-cars. - . .._■■■:.- The mammoth, swiftly nioving rail-road circuses began to have ■: troublewith their "long string" teams.

The sparsely-populated 'outskirts ofDorking, in Surrey, have provided oneof the strangest stories of a husbandand wife that havebeen heard formany years, says tho "Daily Mail."

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Furlongerseparated thirty-three years ago, andfor seventeen years haybeen livingwithin three miles of each other in theoutlying parish of Holmwood.

Yet it was only at Easter that theylearned that they wore neighbours, andthen 'so many years had passed Bineotho early days of their unhappy mar-,ried life that they both failed 'torecognise each other.

Mr..Furlonger, thinkinghis wifewasdead, .married again in 1912. Now heis a white-haired man, spending theevening of his life as a pensioner fromtho Metropolitan Water Board. Withhim lives his wife of the last twenty-two years and a child is rapidly grow-ing up. I

'They are well known in the districtand have a large circle of friends whohave never suspected the strange storyof other years.Yet two miles and a half away,downa little cart track that leads on to thecommon- lands surrounding Dorking,the first Mrs. Fui-longer has lived withher son and daughter-in-law. She alsoth°ught that Mr. Furlonger was dead.She is so distressed bywhat she haslearned that she has gone to staywith

friends at Portsmouth.' The secondMrs. Furlonger is equally distressed,ahd finds the subject too painful fordiscussion.

At Dorking Police Court Mr. Fur-;longer was summoned for' arrears ofmaintenance due to his wife on anorder made in 1901. The order wasfor 5s a week and the arrears amountedto £420. ■■■■..-~...- ~.. r . .. "■ 'Mr. Furlonger said that in 1905,when he was in Gibraltar, he was toldby a man whose home was at Dorkingthat Helen Furlonger was dead. ,Hemarried again in 1912, and had now achild aged sixteen: -In 1917 he took ahouse for his second wife and child atFlint Hill,'Holmwood. - , '.

On Easter Monday his'second wifewas. informed that his legal wife wasalive, and was residing' iii'Holmwood.Heat once :went to see tier."I asked her," he said,"'""if-. she

knew me, and.-she replied, 'No.' Iasked- her if she had ever seen me be-fore,- and she said, 'No.» I did notknow her."

Mr. Furlonger agreed" to/pay to hisfirst wife 5s a week, and the Magis-trates accordingly confirmed- the orderof 1901. They made no order aboutthe payment of arrears." .

Inspector Norgate; asked for theMagistrates' opinion regarding acharge of bigamy, but the chairmansaid that they could not give it. Itwas a matter for police discretion.

THETRAITORANDTHECASTLEA tragedy of the Civil War in Eng-

land is recalled by the discovery of thepipe-line which suppied PembrokoCastlo with water, says au Englishpaper.

The pipe-line has been fouud in afield .by Mr. A. G. O. Mathias, thearchaeologist. These earthenware pipes,although laid probably 600 years ago,are. in good (Condition,'and the mortar,is said .to be "hard as flint" ;

This is the pipe-line which played sogrim a part in the story of PembrokeCastle and cost two men's lives.In June, 1648, Cromwell besieged thecastle.. So strong was the medievalfortress that' it'was spoken of as the jimpregnable castle,and was" obstinately.defended by a garrison headed by theMayor, John. Poyer.,It was probable that even Cromwellwould have failed to subdue the famousstronghold if a traitor had not come to

from apipe-line which he could disclose.The Parliament soldiers dug where hetold them, found the pipe, and cut itoff. No more water reached the! gar-rison, and at last the parching mensurrendered; John Poyer was sent toLondon' and executed. "He had declaredfor Parliament at the outbreak of theCivil War, but, like most .'Presbyterians,had changed his allegiance in 1647.

The man who betrayed the garrisonand sent Poyor to his death died-also.Cromwell's , men loathed, him,.'£of histreachery, and so he "was Tjariged andburied in the great hole !dug .to find thepipe-line. His bones; were--found notmany years ago. Pembroke:-Castle isnow a magnificent ruin.'. every-thingin English life has-changed^ dress,manners, medicine,manufactures, trans-port, all, indeed, except the way menlook upon traitors. This old unhappyfar-off tale loses,none of its bitternesswith the passing of time.

;..:Wellington's Hewv\Eugby. selector,Sir. M. X Nichollsi has sprung a sur-prise in-announcing his first choice ofplayers, 'not so much in the quality ofsome of the-material offering as in thequantity.: In the first round of theseniorEugby championship'competition

SELECTOR NAMES FORTY-THREE PLAYERS

THEMAINTEAM

' As for the prospective first fifteen toRepresent Wellington too many playersfiaye been named to give any reallyclear indication as to what the team .islikely'to;be for the first engagement-—\\ritK Taranaki on June ,20. There isthis disclosure,however. Of the eight-eenplayers who took ,part' in more than'one of "Wellington's main representativegameslast year two—rLamason andPeck—have been dropped. It does motsay much, for these two players to findjthem not numbered amongst Welling-ton's first forty-three. Both gave ex-fcellentservice to Wellington last year,Ijamason in- particular .contributing.well to a fin©playing record in appear-ing in all eight games. AndLamason'sijorm is not so bad this year that hoshould be discarded. Peck may bo notaf his .best (the sameapplies to others),though he' is still a toiler andwith apair of hands that would do credit toany. line-out.

HOLDING THEIR PLACES.. With Lamason, Peck, and McLeanout (the last-named now being in Auck-land) therej-are,fifteenleft of'those.whoplayed more than once in last season'smain representative matches—Pollock,Fuller, Macdonald, .Killeen, t Robins,Griffiths,Lilburne, Pago, Kilby,By'ddef,Lambourn, Dellab'arca, Barry, Reid,and Butler. They, of course, will notbe-the fifteen this year. Eor one thingthere are more backs than forwards,and for another some of the playersare not fully recovered from - injuries.Quaid and Wilson who, with Atkins,MeNeile, and Thomson" played in onemain match last year, are in the list.Of the nineteen others in the biglist, N. Ball, Tindill, Cresswell,Boyd,and Martin are recalled by the selec-tor.- The other-prospective representa-tives are: O'Connor, E. McGreevy,Ruru, McGurk, Upchurch, Langdon,Sadler, a,nd Crisp (backs) and Howe,Wells (who would have been in the" coltsV team last year had he beenable to go on tour), A. Roberts, Saul-brey, Burke, and Sarsich. A study ofthe big list,leaves the impression thatplayers like Thomson,Watson, Pringle,Ward, Leahy," Stevenson, Hewitt, Mc-Elwain, 'Blacker, Kenny, and Coulstonare unlucky.

The process of eliminating playersis not going to be easy. However, themain representatiye team'is expectedto come from'the following on theselector's listrCrisp or Cresswell,Ball,Fuller, 'Macd,onald, - Killeen, Robins,Griffiths,'Lilburne, Page, Kilby,"Bydder,Lambourn, Dellabarca, McNeile, But-ler, BarryJ,' Eeid,' Quaid, and Ongley.It is not -unlikely-thatsome of the play-ers will appear in'places different fromthose in which they figure for theirClubs. "THEARMYTEAM

SOME GREAT PLAYERS

The referencesmade in "The Post"recently to the New-Zealand ServicesRugby team, popularly termed theArmy team, have aroused considerableinterest, not onlyamongstthose directlyassociated with the team but alsoamongst those who-saw it in action -in-its great contests overseas. The classirfication of ;some vof the members ofthe team by Mr. Percy Day, who wasthe team's South,African Tepresenta-tiVe, in his splendidcontribution to the' of Sduth African Rugby Foot-ball," is not generally endorsed. Thoughthe high praise of some.and the teamas a whole is greatly appreciated, therewere others entitled to every bit asmuch recognition as given to some ofthose singledôut ;for special mention.Someof the'outstanding members werementioned by"Drop-Kick" in givingextracts frojm Mr. .Day's article. Mr.Day,-of i was writing of theplayers as he saw them in South Africa.But A.; (<<Eangi") W/lson, forgone, didnot:gb'on'tKat-tour:- And what a for-ward he was in those days! ",";.--Here's-the contingent—one of thebest ever: C.Brown (captain), J. Eyan(vicercaptain), W.; A. Ford, L. Stohr;B. Eyan, J.G. O'Brien, W. L. Henry,G. J. McNaught,, E.

King . as assistant-'manager.oThere,were many; who ranked JackKissick' as-the team's best forward:andPercy Storey as the team's best back.Those two certainly were great, and thepalm could also be handed to others.''Moke "Belliss,. in fact, was acknow-ledged on. one occasion to be the world'sbest forward; Jim Moffil;t was one ofthe-greatest locks of all time, andJack O^Brienwas one of the best full-backs" that has been seen in the*game.Dick Bobefts and Jimmy Eyimpossiblyhad beenbetter, but, as onecorrespond-ent remarks,;experience had .but hard-ened' the strategy of them both. Theamazing thing-is that this great sidehas Teeeiyednothing like the credit duotcjrit,incept .amongthe. .soldiers. .;■-'Pr/came ''as a": pleasant surprise to

some members of the team to learn thatPercy Day was still on the Eugby deckin South Africa. No doubt, in duecourse, a mail will carry greetings tohim from the boys who were so welllooked after by him on the SouthAfrican tour.'

FOOTBALLFAMILIESThe extent to which football runs in

some, families is. illustrated; strikinglyby the places filied,in local Eugby foot-ball :by vplayers of the name of Eey-nolds.

GolfersandTheirGameWAIRARAPA TOURNAMENT

U> 'Chipsnoic"

B. :M. Silk, who retained his titleat the Masterton Golf Club's annualopen tournament, beat good golfers inH. D. Brinsden, C. C. Heard, T. H.Horton, and J. P. Hornabrook, winningthe first two holes of the final and lead-ing throughout the game. The play ofSilk and Hornabrook in the semi-finals,where both won their matches, was ofa high standard. Silk, with a37 outand a 36 in for his completed card,wassteadier on the greensthan Horton, andHornabrook who took 38 to go out, cameback in 35 to the discomfiture of W.G. Home.. :

Home was 2 up at the turn, andplayed a beautiful long game there-after that-should have given him parfigures, bui he took, three.'putts onfourgreens running, and .was once guiltyof a short hole of four putts; Noth-ing can redeem such lapses on thegreen. Joining up with the pair infront, owing to hold-ups"seemed to af-fect this young player on the greens.Like many another first-class long ganioexponent, he'lacks confidencewith theputter. . The Masterton .greens mayhave been a. trifle tricky for the visi-tors, but at the close of a tournament.that is not a good alibi.

A COMING GOLFER.Putting was Home's trouble, even

in the qualifying round, but there arefew golfers who take such an interestin the game as Home who remain poorputters indefinitely, and when he im-proves on the.greens, and has had moretournament experience, he will go farin any company. As it is, his longgame and free, wellrbalaneed style withwoods and irons leave so little to be de-sired that he may always be expectedto produce the needed shots throughthe fairways to the green. After allit is something to have only one badpatch in one's game.' Many golferswould be glad to know where to startto pull down their scores.

VARYING FORTUNES..Horton owed his defeat in the semi-final to Silk's accuracy: on the greens.P. Whitcombe met a finished player, in

A. H. Warren;who.does not leave manyopportunities when on his game, andwent out in the first round. J. L.Black also met a very stiff'opponent inC. C. Heard; and sufferedthe same fate.D. 0. Whyte just failed to qualify forthe championship, and took Gibson tothe nineteenth in the first'round of theLansdowno Handicap.

The fact that no fewer than eightscratch players qualified says much forthe attractiveness of this annual event

SILK BEATS HORTON OX GEEENS

to first-rank golfers. This year's tour-uey was as great a success as usual;

PRODUCED WHEN NEEDED

The holder of, the English amateurgolf title, John Woollam, very nearly,went out in the first round, and waslater put out by Leonard Crawley,the winner of this championship twoyears ago, who also had a narrow es-cape in the first round. .

V,"oollam went out very confidentlyin the first' round but only pulled thematch out of the fire at the nineteenth.He was 2 down at the eighth and neverhad command of his game. There wasno attack in it until he found himselfin a desperate situation, then he playedlike a champion. 'JVC. Wood, his opponent,- a retiredbusiness man who playsgolf ''as a hobbyand not,to win championships,"was re-lentlessly,steady and led all the way.He turned 2 vup, and when he lookedlike being brought back to all square,holed a five-yards putt to win thetwelfth hole, which he seemed certainto lose. At the- short sixteenth Wool-lam ballooned his tee shot, and'Woodbecame dormy. Woollam played mag-nificently with defeat facing him. -

At the seventeenth' he had enoughbad luck to break the heart of manyplayers. His long drive finished againstthe face of the grass bank of a bunker,but he played a glorious mashie niblickshot to the green and won :the ' hole.He almost drove the eighteenth '(380yards), his opponent ;went into -abunker," and the match was squared.Wood at the nineteenth played an ap-proach that was a little too strong, andWoollam: stepped in to win. ■

Leonard Crawley, a schoolmaster, andan all-round sportsman who playscricket for Essex and won the Englishgolf championship three years ago,beatWoollam by 2 up and 1 to play. It^wasa battle of nerves. Crawley, who many,times has saved a lost cause in acricketmatch, is -a redoubtable-fighter, and-hewon because he wasbettet'able to standthe strain. Although-Crawley led mostof the way—he was never down—he didnot play very much the better golf. Infact, he would not have obtained 80had he completed the round.' " Butwhen the situation demanded it, andthat was frequently, Crawley producedthe'winning shots.

Crawley's narrow escape in the firstround was due to bad putting. He hada chanco of turning 4 up, missed a-putt,and not until he was all square with 4to play, did he recover from an attackof bad putting.

FromVariousSourcesFine form was displayed by theNew Zealand representative full-back,A. Collins, for'Taranaki"in the Eugbymatch with Wanganui. He had a gruel-ling day's work, aiid came through it

splendidly, as well as contributing toTaranaki's 19 points by converting-allthree tries and "pottinga goal."

D. J. Oliver, former Wellington andNew Zealand representative, and W-.Allen (ex-Otago) were the Waikatowing-three-quarters against Aucklandthis week, and Aitken, a very promisingcentre, completed -an attractive-lookingline, which.did not receive the oppor-tunities it deserved. Aitken, however,slipped on defence, letting Caugheythrough on several occasions.

Edwards, the young Taranaki centre-three-quarter, was the ■ outstandingback on the field in the- Taranaki-Wanganui Eugby match on Monday.Playing against Wanganui, tho Tara-naki forwards.did not function' well asa pack, though several of "them'showedup individually. McLeod was in every-thing that was going. No doubt theywill bo an improved force for " thematch with "Wellington,on June- 20.

An exhibition of mighty hitting wasgiven by G. F. Earle, the Somerset-cricketer who was in New Zealand withHarold Gilligan's team, when he. made65 runs in twenty-five- minutes for Mar-tineau's team on the recent visit toCairo.

During the off season V. Jupp, theNorthamptonshire cricketer, was seri-ously . ill. with rheumatism. A littleover a month ago, however, he':'wasâble to return to work, and he hopedto be able to play with his county erethe cricket season was far advanced.

.Bir-Traii-iayer."

The Masterton and Kaitere clubsvisited "Rewanui," sixteen miles fromMasterton, last Saturday to contest thefirst Bradbury Cup race.: The meeting/controlled by the Kaitere Club, createdmuch interest, there being a full mus-ter of both.clubs. The two-Jap.courseof six and a quarter miles proved tobe one of the most strenuous yet racedover by the competitors. Fifty-onerunners lined up to be started by Mrs.Livertoii. . A brisk pace was set, buthilly country soon brought' the pacedown. Over the earlier stages theMasterton men showed up prominently,but Kaitere came through' with goodteaming in the latter stages and won bya margin of 12 .points. W. McDon-ald led the Kaitere team home, finish-ing second to C. Talbot (Masterton).The Kaitere team was W. McDonald,W. Burns, 1,. Eutherford, T. Laing, J.Burns, and A. Burns. The Mastertonteam was1-C. Talbot, D. Talbot, T.O'Dowd,V. Engstrom, T. Cresswell,andE. Shaw.

Prior to the main event ton juniormembers of. the Kaitere Club .werestarted on-a sealed-handicap over onelap. of. the course. B. Patrick-finishedfirst, J. Laing second,and G. Turnbuilthird..- These-.placings were unalteredwhen,the handicaps were adjusted. ;

NOTES

About thirty entries were expectedfor the Presbyterian Club's novice han-dicap over a three miles course at Mira-;mar this afternoon. The majority, ofthe starters should be fairly fit, thoughthis is the first season of cross-countryrunning for, quite a number. At thesame time> some .of these new; runnersare not to. be .brushed over. . A. Con-gallon,,K. .Comrie, and K. Shearer arethe most favoured, but the general im-pression seems: to be that Congalton isthe likely winner. There; are somemore or-less ;seasoned;runners on. the,back mark who were,expected to makethings willing.- ; S. Dick! and W. Scottshould be found to team well.;Probablyin. front of'these two. would start D.!Bowe, C; Seelye,, and T. Haswell,; eachof whom would be. capable of leadingIthe field home. ■.■■,■■

The University Harrier Club was tore-run the SherwoodCup race this after-noon over the Kongotai course, as someof the competitors went off the course-when the race wasrun some weeks ago.The fastest time honours seem tobelongto Bagnall, who is superior to his club-mates over cross-country. For secondand third, places Henderson and 6?Con-:nor seemed to be" the strongest contenders.■"■ TheMethodist Club has runners' in A;Mathews," J. Kuehen, W. Baker, and. P.Hickling, who may be relied upon togive a good account of themselveslater in the season.

V.Fitzgibbon, who gained third fast-est time in the Brooklyn Harrier Club'sthree-mile race, is running very con-sistently and will be a valuable assetto the team in view of the vacanciescreated .by the retirement of some oflast year's team.

COLTSANDFOURTHSCOMING CHAMPIONS PLAY

The generar excellence of the foot-ball played by the representativeelevens of the fourth division and thecolts under 19 in the first and seconddivisions in their match on the BastinReserve last Monday augurs well forthe standard of Soccer in Wellington.The boys showed a' splendid under-standing of the finer points of the gameand, despite the lack of knowledge ofone another's peculiarities, both teamsplayed constructive football.

The two most prominent boys on thefield were Yeoman; the Colts' centre-forward, and Dyer, the fourths' inside-left, who between them scored, themajority of the goals. Yeoman's quick-ness of attack and first-class shootingand Dyer's extremely deceptive angleshots should make them valuable ac-quisitions to any first A team in a sea-son Or two. .;.-.-.'■i. .

Another feature of the game-was thehefty yet -well-directed : kicking: 'dis-played by some of the players. " Someof.-the more conspicuous in this depart-ment were McCarthy, the fourths' left-back, and Boyea and Nunns, at rightand left half respectively for the Colts.

The King's Birthday fixture was thefirst of such matches between theColts and the fourths, and its successshould ensure its happening again nextyear.1■■..-.;■

Association FootballLUCKYf WIN FOR WELLINGTON

By "Vanguard."

From the many conflicting opinionsas to the merits of the. Wellington andCanterbury teams that played on theKing's -Birthday emergesthe incontro-vertible fact that; Wellington were for-tunate to win as they did by,-4-goals, to3. This doesnot mean that they, shouldhave lost, but that a fair indicationof the run of the play .would "havebeen given by. a 3-3 draw. In' supportof this one need only quote Welling-ton's equalising goal in the secondhalfj "which came, not from any,meri-torious work by the local side butfrom a piece of sheer bad luck on thepart of the Canterbury goalie, whoknocked the ball across the goal-lineafter seemingly having it well undercontrol. Every other goal in the matchwas a definite and well-deserved :score.

Play was of a peculiar kind, neverbrilliant, sometimes good, but mostly,verging on the mediocre. The condi-tions had something to do with this,a slippery wet turf affording only aprecarious foothold and precluding thepossibility of safe and solid tackling,but even so the: combination of bothsides was deplorably weak. As a re-sult' the match resolved : itself into aseries of disconnected incidents, theexcitement of which was; provided byindividual efforts. ■~...."■. "It was generally recognised that Wel-lington's team was not the best thatcould have been' fielded and that theselector was taking the opportunity-oftrying Leslie at the inside-right posi-tion and of'seeing whether Janes wasworthy- of '"a place in the: Wellingtonforward line. The match made it quiteclear that Leslie is almost useless inany other position than centre:forward,and that Janes is hardly up to inter-provincial standard. Those who- didreally shine were-. J.-Kershaw, whomone would;'expect to shine, and Web-ster,- on the left "wing, whose valu-able performance fully entitles him" toa.place in the next Wellington eleven.

Supporters of,Leslie argued . that his

poor "showing, on Monday was due tohis being played- out of position. Thatwas true enough,but it did not explainwhy- he wandered all over the field,playing now at left-half, at right back,and occasionally in his correct inside-right position. ; ;

Webster and Kershaw were the,pickof the Wellington forwards, and it wastheir sustained efforts that caused theCanterburydefence the, most anxiousmoments. Janes made no mistakes tbuthe justwas not: good enough. On theright wing.: Barton ; did not play ihisusual good game,possibly because hewas often-starved of the ball by theabsence of his. inside .partner,-JJeslie.Moreover, his shooting,lacked its usualforce and accuracy..: ■ ■

forwards judiciously and occasionallytrying... a shot himself.....Hi'ndle.. borehis responsibilities at centre-half verywell, but was not brilliant, while Han-lon^ on the leeft,- used his experience to-some advantage but was not as goodas he used to be.

For some reason not apparent to thawriter the full-backs, Mahoney andHopper, received not a little adversecriticism. They did not deserve this,,for both played a steady;and reliablegame. Those who saw them .make oneor two misskieks' should,remember thecondition of the ground and "that forthe greater part ofl the game'they heldthe Canterbury forwards, who, .thoughnot a first-class five, could'not be take.ntoo.lightly, as witness their wonderfulrecovery from 2-o.against them to a3-2 for them. It was not the fault ofMahoney and Hopper that Canterburyscored three goals, and more-than oncetheir solid defensivework closed whatmighthave been good scoring openingsfor the southerners. ' . i■ McVean was as steady as usual ingoal, playing neither brilliantly,norunreliably. He.did his job and did itwell. "■ " ■■"■"■"■.■, : ■ "-. "■ -."■::.-,"; ;" .

Jtt would be unfair to' venture toomuch criticism of the! ' Canterburyplayers on Monday's ganie. Ellis, theinside-right, was the star performer,his two goals electrifying the crowdby their speed and skill. He combinedwell with. Smith; the- " eentre-forw.ard,and Bruce, the inside-Teft, which triowere the. only Canterbury .men to, showany signs of working together:;. Thewingers, Clements and Walker, workedhard throughout, particularly the lat-ter on the left, but their'individual ef-forts, valiant as they were, did not as-sist the other'forwards much;

;The halves were a very, strong line,working -unobtrusively but splendidly.No: one of them was a great dealbetterthan the others. .;' ■-. .: ■ ,

G. Sutherland was rather more con-spicuous than Cawtheray :in the full-backs, and Mitchell; except for his onemistake which was probably-dueto the,greasy nature of the ball and -thaground, did well in goal.' ' ■" - ■;"..

TheRing-News and NotesPETERSEN EEGOtEES EMPIEE BOXING TITLE

By "A«nta«.M

The flood of publicity-' on ."whichAmerican boxers are carried along, hasa tendency to .submerge either. wholly,or partially.so far as. New Zealandersare concerned reports of 'the activities!of boxers who, because Empire associa-tions, should,carry more' interest, thanAmericans in the Dominion. Though New,Zealand has no heavyweight boxer atthe moment who can be.regarded.as. alikely contender-for the- Empire title,the popularity which the big men com-mand.'in -the South' fat present ,mayquiteeasily spread arid eventuallybreedeither a second Tom Heeney or someother who will be justified in going-overseas in search of higher honoursthan are offering in this country. Thesame thing may be'saia also about theother divisions. " .. The fight at the "White City stadium,London, this weekin which Jack Peter-sen recovered his British heavyweighttitle and won the' Empire champion-'ship from Len"Harvey is therefore ofmore than passing interest.. The re-sult of the bout was bynomeans unex-pected since Harvey, although an ex-ceptionally cleverdefensiveboxer,lacksthe aggressiveness and punching powerto make him a real heavyweight cham-pion. . : .." . . ■ ,

"BRILLIANTLY SUCCESSFUL."■ Petersen won the. British champion-ship from Eeggie Meen at "Wimbledonon July 12, 1932. "Petersen won as aheavyweight : boxer shouldj" stated"The Times" in its report of thematch,by outboxing and knocking outa man to whom he was giving over twostone-in less than a couple of rounds.Petersen fought as the holder.of thelight-heavy title which "he won only: a.few months previously, and: for soyoung a boxer it was a triumph toreach so far in such a, short time.Petersen's boxing was so brilliantly suc-cessful on this occasion that for oncethe shortness of the contest■betweentwo British heavyweights invited noneof the usual derisory comments.','Peter-sen has been likened in appearance andstyle to Garpentier: In November lastHarvey took the title off Petersen and"The Times" described the bout as thegreatest fight seen at the Albert Hall.It ended with both contestants fightinglike madmen in the middle of the ring.- THE NEXT BOUT.

Petersen has plentyof pugnacity andjcan hit hard, but in the past has lackedthe polish necessary,to -win a placeamong the top-notchers, but apparentlyhe is developing along the right linesand it will be interestingto see the out-come of his fightwith th& veteran Aus-

It.will be recalled that at a certainstage last season some special effortswere made to get a couple of new men.as "refreshers,'.' but on account of thegreat distance the men would have hadto travel, it was found difficult to in-duce them to come for the,remainder ofthe season.

TURF NOTES=3fct BY "RANCATIRA*

AROUNDTHECORNER

MARCH TO BETTER DAYSWHAT THE FIGURES SHOW~ Although during the present" racingseasonthere mayhave been-noremarkable-return-to the prosperity of the pre-slumpSSys, yet it is most gratifying to observefrom the totali9ator index that the trendtowards stability has verydefinitelyasserteditself, and that at last it may be confid-ently claimed that a halt in declining turn-overs has been made. Be-entrenched onsolid vantage ground,.the sister sports ofracing and trotting may now face thefuture with some equanimity, and it may■not now be long beforethey are able toadvance again over the ground they havelost and to recover the main point theyoccupied before the illusory days "of the/boom."It is interesting now to go' back in re-trospect, and to view just where thepoint was that the corner was actuallyturned. It was not the time when thewin-and-place system was introduced onto Dominion racecourses; as advocates ofthe system are wont to assert, but a"period a couple of months or so prior to

then, corresponding, possibly by coincid-ence,, with: the provision .of facilities' topay. out three dividends on the singlepool.;, . _■'.. ■ , ■' ■-.- ■■'. -- ■;-

DATE OF THE TURN.That date was October-November in1932. Up to tne time of the Labour-Day meetings that season, just over .-. 18months ago, the falling-off in turnovershad become so regularly persistent thatit" was impossible to record an increase atany meeting. But immediately followingthose meetings, though the 1932 New Zea-

land Cup Meeting (in contrast, however,to the Metropolitan Trots at- the sametime) has to be excepted, the first in-creases, small though they were, were re-corded. # By the Christmas-New Yearholidays increases in .turnovers, still verysmall, had yet ceased to be things ofwonderment.,-,During those holidays theManawatu, Stratford, Southland, Wynd-ham, and OamaruMeetings-all returned

" increased figures; : The. era; of win-and-place had not yet " arrived, though theStratford Club (increase) and the Tara-naki Club (decrease) had made the firstexperiment., ■ 'A month: later the Wellington RacingClub ushered in the true period of win-and-place, and the meeting was a» greatsuccess. But.the" new system did not!change the trend, for the turn, as isclear now, had, already definitely been"made,and the -forces of recovery - hadbegun their deployment.. What win-and-place did was to seize on an oscillatingmovement, as it still was then, and, ad-ding the fillip of novelty."to the attack, setthe forces"advancing solidly again towardsthe goal of better days: For that win-arid-place .has at least to be thanked.

It was much less than a year, however,beforethe more perspicacious amongrac-ing men began,to see that ,win-and-placewas hot the true cause of the change but'only a temporary intensifying factor. Themere statement of this opinion (as it hadtobe. till it was proved.more conclusively)led immediatelyto the skirmish of the sys-tems, but now that this' minor battle -has.been fought it could no longer serve anypurpose to review it: It ia certainly now.clear- from the figures that the;-trend to-wards "better turnovers is a continuing:orie, though with-minor reverses that needcause.no concern,, and that this movementis .progressing wholly and totally «paf-"fected by systems of dividend distribution.i The halt was made" in October, 1932,.and the return over lost territory beganin the following months. ' The recovered■ ground is now secure, and,"as clubs havediscovered through the brief'mists of per-Piexitypthetctrend, with-vcxtefnal'lactors■ re'maimrig as they are, is almost certain tomarch-, along in its present progressivedirection. .' ■ :■ ■"_.< ■,■■■. " -j 1; STATISTICAL EVIDENCE.■-: .The;position as it is now may best besurveyed by taking a concise view;of the.turnovers at meetings at various important"stages of the present season,'and then com-paring them'with the figures for the cor-vresp6ndingv.,pre\iouß:. ;two seasons. The1931-32's'eason beganin the nadir,of theRepression,and the.following table,com-pares the; turnover ofgracing clubs- for thatseason with; the figures for. the two'years

;since, the seasons being divided up into-their more important sections in-order toraif,;tH;Burv.ey. The following is' thetable, and it will more or less' explain■'itself:*----■'■■-;vi.;.::-'---'.:. ''.:'■■'■■■ ..:;"'"■' "

The meetings taken in these periods areonly those that have been held all threeseasons, in order that a completely accur-ate view of the position may be talieri.It will be observed,first; that everyperiodithis season shows an increase overthe corresponding period two seasons ago.Secondly, it will be noted that everyperiod^ except the '.March . (pre-Eaßterperiod) has returned an increase over last.season. Thirdly, it will be seenthat theforward progression front 1931-32 throiiEh1932-33 to 1933-34 is broken only at theLabour Day and Christmas-New Yearperiods, yieldingthe proof that it was nottill afterthe New Year that the full blast;of the depression was abating. This turnas was mentioned earlier, is set between;these two (October-November1932),.f0r it appeared beforethe Christ-tmas-New Year racing though it was notclearly, apparent till afterwards.;

A final interesting point that thesefigures show is that the setback last Marchwas ,only a temporary .phase. The for-ward trend was again manifestat Easter,*and it has been definitely continued dur-ing the recent Birthday meetings,, despitealmost universal,bad -weather. The figuresfor: trotting, although not tabulated out,would undoubtedly yield almost identicalconclusions as those given for.the gallop-ing sport, '■- ' ■-.■;. : -■.;■

Those ;who declared outright for Cargenin.the Great Northern Hurdles had theirjudgment vindicated when ha won thethird day. He was brought down by twoother horses at the fourth; fence in thetreats Aortherh,, and on the second dayhe had'no show of being in the moneywhen he came down at tho last hurdle.;Doubtlessfor his lady owner this crashwas a blessing in disguise, for/G.Carmont,his usual pilot; was injured and'couldnot take the mount on the last day. C.Thomson was substituted,and instead ofletting 9arSen drift in the early part ashis original rider had done,he kept himup to his field, with the result that hisfinal run soon took him to the front, andhe successfully held off the Great'North-ern Hurdles' winner. Wee Pat, to scorereally well. Backers did well to secure a-double-figure return -about Cargeu.There was no doubt about the meritof Wee Pat's success in the Great North-ern Hurdles, for her win was clear-cutand very decisive. She was raised 91b forthe hurdle race the final day, but foundCargen too good for her. An accident toJ. Mcßae when Count Lendroffifell sawW. Kennie put on Wee Pat, .so that thefinish of the Campbell Hurdles was foughtout by two substitute horsemen. WeePat is now at the top of her form, and,incidentally, round about tho top of thehandicaps, and being, only a small- mare,the weight may tell in future events.Stanchionfailedto repeat his first day'sperformance on the later days at themeeting. On the second day Count Len-droff made quite a good race of it withthe brilliant Tudor, the remainder beingwell down the course, and this form wasprobably the best, of the hack hurdlers.On the other hand,Ruling King, havinghis first run over the sticks, was a like-ly improver, and this;,he proved when hehad Count Lendroff beaten at the finalfenceon the final day:

Taking the form of the hack hurdlersover the three' days, Killing King wasthe best, and in"his case a good deal ofimprovement can beanticipated. He hadschooled prior to the meeting, so that itwas not surprising that he did:well, forhe is trained at 'Ellerslie.

(By Telegraph—Press Association.)"..".'". atjckCand,] junb' s::<The .following are the acceptances for .the■\Yaipa Racing Club's Meeting at To Awamutuon June 16:— '.:'-. ■ -'-. ...

SHATTERBACKINWORK~;According; to. report "from Hiccarton F.

D. Jones ;has again made a start withShatter, who has been running..out. forabout two months. It.was.his firstcompleterest-.without-.hard feed-for four,years, and he yhas; lost .a lot of condition,.though he is in excellent,health to re-sume training.. It :is possible .that: hewill be included in. the spring team- forAustralia. He is partial to firm tracks,so ifshould not be difficult to place himto win races in the Coflinionwealth.

BLACKDUKE'SEDUCATION; Black IQuke has a 'goodTdeal to learnyet before.,becoming, a "proficient hurdler;(says; a.southern' writer). .He is a cleverfencer,but has a crarilped action behindjarid appears to make hard ivp'rk of landing.Ho is, however,to be given every chanceto acquire the art, and should he go onin the right way he may add hurdlinghonours to his outstandingrecord on theflat. He is thoroughly sound and looks inas good order as at any previous stageof his career. .

AUSTRALIAN-OWNEDCOLTSWord has been received at the Elderslie

Stud that-the two colts purchased by theRandwick trainer J. W. Cook for SirHugh Denison at the last. National year-ling sales at Trentham are to' be kept inpottering work there until July. One isa chestnut colt by Limondfrom Jewel ofAsia, thereforea brother to Sir John, oneof the best two-year-olds in Australia;and the other is a brown colt by the youngSon-in-Lawsire Siegfried from Polonaise(dam also of Gay Court and Blue Boy); anAustralian-bred mare by .Rossendale fromNactrilla,by Malt King.

One of the" best horses Cook ever hadm his stable was Winaldt, who was bredon similar lines to Polonaise, being byKossendale from a Malt King mare. Prob-ably this influencedCookin his purchaseof the Siegfried colt.

When these colts go to Sydney theywill be accompanied by other youngsterswho have bden broken in at Elderslie andare now doing light work. Among themis a first-foal by Iliad from the Queens-land' Cup .and Sires' Produce Stakeswin-ner Royal Flavour. She is a big, up-standing bay filly. A chestnut . filiy byIliad from the flying .Epitaph is thecounterpart of her dam. Another highly-bred Iliad filly is from the imported mareSunkissed,whose first three maternalgrandsires, Sunstar,, Gay Crusader,andMelton, are English. Derby winners. Ahadditional attraction about the breedingof tlie Sunkissedfilly is that she has adouble cross of Pilgrimage, like so manyof Lord Derby's good winners.

INTHERING

TURFNEWSINBRIEFEacing will be held next week at Hast-

ings on Thursday and Saturday; and atTe Awamutu and Washdyke on Saturday.They are a rather poor, lot on the

whole in the June Steeplechase at Hast-ings next Thursday, but should Luna Luxand Aurora Borealis both meet the ac-ceptance on.Monday evening the race willbe well worth watching.

Red Bank, who has been honoured witha nomination for the Melbourne,Cup, isdue to make his '.'reappearance in theWhakatu Hurdles at Hastings next Thurs-day. He has not been out since the closeof last season. ■

Aston is an interesting recruit tohurdling, a nomination having! been ac-corded him in the hurdles at Hastings.He may be good at it,, too, for two ofhis brothers,-Urtini and Fawn Way, havedone all .their racing under National HuntRules in Ireland.

■Revel is evidently not yet consideredbeyond hope of patching up again, as hei9inthefieldfor the steeplechases atHastings next. week. He ran seconds inthe Hawke's Bay and Napier Steeplechaseslast season, to Luna Lux and Acervaterespectively, but he went amiss after thelatter event. He is. now rising 13 yearsof age. ■. . ■ ■ ". ■According to a southern -report, theRacing Conferencewill next month.'.con-sider the question of granting clubs per-■mission to include three trotting eventspn. their programmes. . '■'■_'.It is decidedly unusual in the history

of racing to find so, many winners in athree days' programmeclearing out fromthe field at the finish of a race as theydid at the Winter Meeting at Wiugatui,says "Sentinel." . ■ .

The colts who are to-be trained by,.P.V. Mason for Mr. A. Louisson have beennamed Lofty and Roaming. The. formeria. by Honour from Pride, and the otherby Xightmarch from Waterloo.

The meaningless name La Sande,whichappeared in the acceptances for the recentRangitikeiMeeting for a geldingby Sand-star from Nieppe; has now been amendedto Le Sable,which means "the sand."

The two-year-old filly by Chief Rulerfrom Comedy Queen gavethe opportunityfor an excellent naming effort, but shelias had nothing better than Going Gaybestowed npon her. If she ever goes tothe stud it is to be hoped that her pro-'genywill not.be a lot of "Goings.'

According to a southern report it ispossible that Graball, a safe jumper, butmuch too slow for good-class 'chasers,willbe sent to Riccarton soon to be preparedfor hunters' events by D. O'Connor. Insuch companyhe may be hard to beat;for "he is thoroughly seasoned and a good-stayer. . ~,.■■

When Mercian Prince so comfortablybeat his opposition in the Te Horo HackHandicap at Otald last Saturday he wasmaking his first appearance in the owner-shiu of Mr. A. Harris, of Woodviile,whopurchased him last October from , hisbreeder Mr, H. E. Connop. He looked in

AFIGHTINGSAILORHOLLAND SHOWS HIS CLASS

The next time H.M.S. Diomcde comesto Wellington the local boxing associa-tion, should make every endeavour,tostage a match in which one of theparticipants will. ,be, Mickey Holland,lightweight champion .of the AtlanticiUeet, who is among the ship?s com-pany. The match between Holland andJohnny McKay (Gisborne) at Aucklandon Monday night created somethingor a sensation ana Holland .justifiedthe high opinion formed of his abilitiesby experts who had seen him in. gym-nasium work-outs.

'Brilliant Boxing" and "Bousinglighting" were among the headlinesm the Auckland papers in reference tothe bout,.and the "Herald" stated:'_'No better evidence of the crowd's en-joyment of the match could,be affordedthan the loud and prolonged applauseand cheering which was heard at theend of each round. It was a real fightall the way between two boxers whowould, not concede anythinguntil abso-lutely compelled, to through a sustainedattack by. the /aggressor. Holland.ranup a substantial margin of- points inhis favour over the first half of thecontest, but McKay's grit and deter-mination to make up his leeway duringthe later stages had the crowd cheeringcontinuously. Both men were accordeda wonderful ovation at the end of anoutstandingcontest."

NO DULL MOMENTS., Included in the "Stars commentwas the following:—"Never was therea dull moment. McKay lived up tohis reputation as a whirlwind fighterand it was not for want of trying thathe did not batter the naval man intosubmission. ,_ The aggressive. ;style ofthe visito.r well suited Holland,and thepair fought viciously throughout. Lightpoint-scoring taps were few and far be-tween; mostly every punch let go washard and,meant to hurt. Quarter wasneither asked nor given, and" both menwere forcetUto take a lot of punishment.The enthusiasm of the crowd, who-votedthe fight the best seen in Auckland fora long time, revived, memories of theclashes between Lachie Maedonald andTommy Mcliines five years or so ago.It was a battle in which defence tooksecond place to aggression, and thecrowd showed its approval in frequentbursts of cheering."It was apparently a great night for

the Auckland fans and should do muchto bring, the sport into favour in thatcity, for there was an excellent seriesof amateur bouts in which a numberof, naval boxers appeared. The out-standing bout (states the "Star")was a special one of six rounds betweenBilly McKay, New Zealand amateurflyweight champion and brother of the"Cyclone," and Prank Bruno, a formerDominion title-holder. The pair pro-vided the crowd with an.; excellent ex-hibition of fast and scientific- boxing,ani although the verdict went to thevisitor, there was a large section, ofthe. crowd.,who believed that the Ajick-laiider's splendid.; defence had earnedhim the win. . "AMERICANSFORDOMINION

Though nothing very definite is asyet available, negotiations are still inprogresswith a view to giving NewZea.landers an opportunity of seeing inaction members of the team of Ameri-can professional boxers at present inAustralia under engagement to theNational Boxing Club. An official re-presentative of the club arrived in Wel-lington.this week with a view to seeingwhat, could be arranged through theNew Zealand associations . and it iscertainly, no idle rumour that high-classperformers like "Speedy" Dado and"StarV Frisco will appear in the Do-minion if it is possible to make .suit-able arrangements. :

"Tiger" Roy. Williams, the negromiddleweight, who was one of theparty, will arrive in Wellington pnMonday in the course of his returnvoyage to the United Statesfrom Aus-tralia. ' ■ . "BESTWRESTLINGHOLD

"The best wrestling hold is perfectphysicial fitness,and I have that," saidDan Koloff, when asked by the writerthis week if he had a preference forany particular hold.;; Koloff is apparent-ly looking forward with quiet con-fidenceto his bout with George "Walkerat "SVellington on Monday Ayeek and, inresponse to an inquiry as to what hethought would be the outcome of thecontest,' he said, "Walker is a goodwrestler, and I ama goodwrestler. Thatis all I have to say."Though lie has had only two boutssinco arriving in New Zealand, Koloffhas_ not allowed himself to get,out oftraining, and has done gymnasium workdaily. His weight at present is about16st 71b,and he expects to bring itdown to 16 stone before he steps intothe ring against Walker.

SHIPSANDTHESEA

(By "MARTINGALE.")

A good chantyman. was always' aniasset to a sailing ship, especially so ifihe had original turn to his speech andcould voice ironical thrusts at thecauses o£ the sailors' grievances, suchas the -poor--handywork of tho cook orthe stupidities of. the passengers. To:his-active .niind- the ship's hands oftenlooked for some humorous palliative tothe monotonous work of the day, buthis efforts were not uncommonly of thounprintable typo,, being spiced with"bad language"and carefullyavoidingeuphemisms.: One of these was ''Ams-terdam Maid"—perhaps some of the.deep-sea sailors can recall it!

The sea chanty as it is generallyknown, however, is of a more soberspecies, examples of which were givenlast Saturday. Another of these songsis:— ■-■'~■

"Itollinjj home, rolling home,Rolling Home across the sea, ,Rolling home to Merry England,Rolling home dear land to thee."

TWO DISTINCT TYPES.■ The chanties are dividedinto two dis-tinct types—one for hauling ropes and jthe other for winding the capstan. Theformer Jcind provides in the tune pointsfor collective pulls, while the latter isfor.,a continuous'rhythmicalmovement.The usual accompaniment for thecapstan chanty was the tramp; of menaround the capstan1 and the grumble ofthe cable as it came up,.'through thehawse-pipe. Tho song was usuallyassociated with parting or the hope ofreturn,, carrying with it a keen note ofpatriotism or sentirnentalism.

The more vigorous type of chantywas that sung when pullingropes. Thotopsail chanty, for instance, was aboisterous affair given when hoistingthe heavy topsail yard while makingsail on leaving port or after heavyweather which ■- had necessitated a'shortening of sail. "Whisky Johnny,'"'quoted last week, was one of thesesongs, the 'first and third lines beingtaken by the soloist and tho second andfourth by the crew. Another of thesongs which provided opportunity fora rousing chorus included the follow-ing verses:—- ■'■.-'.- , : ■■

"We'll sing; oh, maywo never be,Leave her Johnny, leave her!On a hungry ship the like of she,It's time for us to leave her!"

Some 6f the favourites with, thesailors were "A-Roving," "Clear theTrack, Let the BullgineRun," '.'Knock(or Blow) the Man Down," and"Whoop (or Whip) Jamboree."

THE "DEAD HORSE."One of the most interesting of thesuperstitions nourished by the deep-sea

men was the "Dead Horse" chanty,sung at the expiration of a month'slabour on a ship. At one bell in thesecond dog watch: on tho last eveningof the month a rude figure of a horse,made of tow and canvas, would bo,dragged along the deck, and run up thelee foro yardarni; to1 the accompani-ment of the following:—,-.."They, snyold man your horse will die.

And they, say so, and'they hope so.They sny.' old man. your horse will die.- Oh, poor old man." Etc.;'etc.; T^ho men Usually drew 'a month's pay/when signing on, arid evidently hadprico considered that: tho ; first^ fourweeks of the voyage were worked for

■nothing.. Tho nrs'trmonth'Swas there-'fore known as "working" out the deadhors,e,"and its close was signalised bythe.above song, after fwhieh tho,cffigywould''bo -dropped overboard arid thomairibraco would -bo;spliced all round.

DAYS OF THE SEA CHANTY iOLD-TIME SONGS AND CUSTOMS

THESTRATHCONA

FIFTYYEARSAGO

SONGSATSEACORRESPONDENT'S MEMORIES

Your sympathetic reference in lastSaturday's "Ships and the Sea"column to the departing (or is it do-parted?) soa chanty took me back just63 years to the days when" as appren-tice in a Western Ocean packet ship(Liverpool-New York), engaged in alast forlorn hope fight against steam, Ilearned to sing them, in their Teal home—the North Atlantic, writes Mr. JohnHutcheson,-in amost interesting letterwhere is hero published. 'Inthose days the Western Oceanhada typo of shellback peculiarly its own;tho hardest and hardiest crowd of ad-venturers that ever went afloat.

Many of them saw service as block-ade runners,, others had fought eitheryi the armies or navies of North'orSouth, as -true soldiers or sailors offortune, in the great Civil War, notlong ended, and all of them-inured tothe brutal uisciplino;!'of the '"Hell-wagon," as tho Yankee packet shipwas called. But they were seamen all.God help the- misguided man who.shipped as A.B. and did not measureup. ("Kcuben Eanzo" chanty tellshis story in many stanzas.)

The smallest manoeuvio was done tothe accompaniment of a chanty, and adiffcient tempo was necessary for eachclass of work.. For bowsing down amain tack or tossing up the bunt of aheavy course "Johnnie Boker" or"Paddy Doylo" piovided an instan-taneous concentration of maximumstrength, possible by no other means

NEVER FORGOTTEN; "For a heavy topsail yard "Blow myBully Boys, Blow!" or "Tom's Goneto Hilo"; while "top-gallant yards wentup to the livelier "John" FrancWall!" or "Whisky for my Johnnie!"With a well-manned ship," as most oftho packets were, the capstan, windlassor winch (hand, of course) i\as rarelyused at sea, so that the marching chan-ties were mainiy hoard when berthingor getting the anchor up. Those whohave heard from the bay or roadsteadin the grey dawn the clink and clatterof capstan- or windlass pawls as alusty crew gave full voice to such a"Hurrnh! My Boys, We'ie IloincwardBound!',' "Santa Anna," . "Shenan-doah," "Ileave Away, my JohnnieHeave Awny-ay!" "Old Stonn-along" or "Oh! You Now York Girls,Can't You Daiicc the Polka?" etcetc., arc never likely to forget them.''You are1 much gentler with ."radioartists" and "parlour sailors" than Ifeel when any of t\ ose jazz-fiends getgoing before I can reach the switch!Which just brings me to your openingwords:- "So little is 'known, so littlehas been written, and So, little is avail-able,to the average reader. .. ."

Here are some reasons: The languageof the average sailorman of those dayswas,.as Bill Nye puts it, "painful andfrequent arid;free,"and was scarcelyfit for polite society.' Someof the mostpopular;chanties;just;cguld not be writ-tenr-fthey^d/set.'the -paper,'afire!■"'. Sec-ondly;-there-is.no copyright,; as mostof them were composed extempore, afterthe fashion >ofV.the' ancient " bard, to'enable Jack to say what he thought of■the skipper; the mates, arid of the rou-tine of the ship generally. It's wonder-ful what they got.away with when ex-pressed allegorically to music. So, how-ever much anyone'may. yearn to pre-serve in script or priiit thereal old seachanty. I'm afraid the only; way is thatadopted for Maori frenea\ogy, i.e., vivavoce. '-Of course, the music could bescored,and that's a job nobody seemsto have done yet.

I" I hatve heard tlie Mississippi Screw-men (the very aristocrats of labour)Iscrewing. cotton in the. hold till theyraised the decks to tho sound of "Hur-rah..for the Bonnie Blue Flag thatPlies the Single Star!" etc. I've heardthe Jamaica niggers sing "The SaucyRosabella" or "Waitin' for do Steam-boat,'' or "Jimmy Eiley," etc., asthey rolled the big hogsheads of rawsugar or hove at ftie winch dischargingtheir coastal flrogher; I've heard thecoolies in Moulmein chanting as theystaged rice over the side; but pf all thesea songs,for real life and go, give methe good old vulgar, obscene WesternOceanchanty before them all.

Although just entering the eightiethlap, I can still think of the good olddays:

."Wh(jn bending low her bosom insnow, .""■.;.

.She buried the Ice cathead.'' .Several other correspondents have

written in connection with chanties.Owing to pressure on space-these let-ters cannot be dealt with until nextweek. . . (

Nineteen years-ago tomorrow occur-red the wreck of the Strathcona on theMinerva Reef, writes C. J. York. Builtat Auckland, for the Pacific CableBoard, the Strathcona, a 160-tonschooner,was intended to ply betweenHonolulu and Fanning Island, carryingstores for the cable station. -Tho shipleft Auckland for Suvaon June 4, 1915,and on June 10, six days later, ranashore on North Minerva Reef to be-come a total loss. ; 'The crew of thirteen succeeded ingettingsafely ashore. Later a raft wasbuilt for some of the crew to live onwhile the others left. for. Suva in oneof the ship's boats in'search of help.On the forty-first day out, after beingthirty-five days on the reef, the crewwere rescued by the cable steamer Iris,now the Recorder. ■

INTERCOLONIAL SERVICE

A disastrous collision in mid-Atlanticin which 130 lives were lost was re-ported in the London Summary of "ThePost" of Juno' 2, 1884. The steamerState of Florida, bound from New Yorkfor Glasgow with 167 passengers,struckthe barque Pomona, of Chatham, NewBrunswick, and both vessels went downwithin a few minutes. From thesteamer only forty-four escaped inboats, and the barque's captain andtwo of her sailors were then pickedup. After being thirty-five hours inthe boats without food or water, thesurvivors were rescued by the barqueTheresa, of";Chfistiania. According toreports, tire passengersarid crew of theState of Florida panicked, and all avail-able boats could not be launched. . ;

Referencesto tho old steamer Senator,which tho SanFrancisco Mail Companyintended sending to Auckland as a coal-hulk was made by a correspondent in"The Post" of June 5, 1884. The shipwas built in New;York in 1847, andWas completed on the stocks. Herowner was in debt, but if given'timecould find the money. A meeting witha Captain Wakeman, wlio had lost hisship, suggested an idea, to him, and ;hcappointed the man master of the new-steamer. Tho Senator took the waterwith steam up and ready for sea in1848. After two trialruns up and downEast River, tho captain ordered fullspeed and ran out to sea. A refractoryofficer was landed, and the course setfor California, round Cape Horn. Bytho..time tho ship got there all debtswere paid, and tho running away was"squared" with tho authorities. TheSenator and her captain afterwards be-came-very popular on the Sacramentoand San Francisco River.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTSA. J. Clarke.—The Doric, 4753 tons, wasbuilt in 1883 by Harland and

Wolff, Belfast, for the OceanicS..N. Co.,known as the White StarLine, and,ran for them until 1902.Sho; was then sold to the PacificMail Co..of America and renamedthe Asia.^ She traded under thisname between San Francisco andthe Orient until 1911,when she,waswrecked off: tho South China coaston a trip to Shanghai.

DANGEROUSDRIVERSWEEDING-OUT;URGED

LICENCE BY EXAMINATIONA homicide charge, and the evidence

pertaining to it, that caino before a■\Vcstckes>ter Countygrand jury, in tlieState of Kew York, recently led themembers of the jury to investigate tlie!general conditions ' of motor vehicleoperation in the State and subsequently,hand the Judge a "presentment" urg-ing stricter and more extensive lawsto govern it. The document was signedby eighteen members of the jury. Itrecommended:—

"That,the ease of obtaining licencesfor the operation of motor Vehicles al-lows their issuance to many personslacking in " experience and in ,mental'and physical fitness, and- causes a largoproportion of the many accidents re-sulting in death, injury,and destructionof property by motor vehicles.

"That every inexperienced, physi-cally unfit, or ignorant driver may bea 'potential murderer.

'' That the enormous increase in vehi-cular traffic and. in fatal accidentscaused thereby, makes it imperativethat the State Vehicle and Traffic Lawshould be amended, particularly wita re-spect to * the issuance of operators'licences.

"This jury, therefore, lespectfullyre-quests and uiges the aid and influenceof tho Court and the members of theState Legislatuie in effecting suchchanges in tho vehicle and traffic lawsas aro necessaryto remedy this condi-tion. After study by a specialcommittee of tho grand jury, whichcommitteo consulted with police andother public "officials, this grand juryrecommends the following changes inthe law:—

"1. That the extent and character■ofexaminations of applicants for chauf-feurs' and operators' licences be pre-scribed by law and the piesent discre-tion of the Commissioner of MotorVehicles in relation thereto bo re-stricted accordingly., "2:; That the examination should com-prise three parts: (a) written; (b)dernonstiation of driving ability; (c)test of physical and mental fitness.".'(a). The written examination shouldinclude questions covering all sectionsof" the Vehicle and Traffic Law whichaffect tho driving of a motor vehicleand the protection of life, and-property,questions' concerning tho'knowledgeof the control mechanism of a' car ormotor-cyclo.

"(b) Demonstration of ability todrive, manage, and control a car anda practical knowledgo of traffic laws,including local ordinances if the appli-cant is v resident of a city or village.■ "(c) Physical and montal fitness ex-umiiiation by a duly licensed and regis-tered physician, "suchroxaniinatioiL tO"include: (1) co-ordination of senses; (2).eyesight; (3) general intelligence; (4)disability, organic, or otherwise.

"As to licences issued to minors, thisgiand jury believes that each appli-cant fpr a junioroperator licence shouldproduce a wiitten consent of parent orguardian together with a.guarantee offinancial responsibility by such parentor guaidian; that no juniorlicence shallbe issued except in a case of absolutenecessity, and then only upon tho re-commendation of a Judge and the chiefpolice offieei in the municipality wherothe applicant resides, and further thatno holder of a junior licence be permit-ted to opeiate and diive v car withinthe boundaries of any incorporated vil-lage or city. .

"It is further suggested that tho lawprovide,that in every case wheie anoperator, junior or othciwise, has beenIconvicted of a violation of any prbvt|Siou of the Vehicle and Traffic Law,isuch conviction bo immediately endorsedby the Court on the back of the opera-tor's licence with a brief record of the1charge and the disposition of same.1 "This jury further uiges.that a lawbo enacted which will make mandatorythe trial of all automobile traffic vio-lations in which tieltets or summonseshave been issued by the 'police, andthat the law''shall include a provision'which, shall mako illegal any attemptby any official or any other poison toinfluence in any way tho judgmentofthe Trial Court except through testi-mony, or evidence.

"This gTand juiy further believesthat the various police departments inthe county of Westchpster should be-come more active in, tho apprehension;and prosecution of operators drivingears at nightwith only one lighted head-light, and further condemns the prac-tice of some traffic officers throughoutWestchester1County of parking and hid-ing in side streets in order to catchdrivers of cars who are exceeding thespeed, limit, this jury., believing thatsuch officers should constantly patrolthe various highways where they areassigned' and that their presence and(actual patrol will tend to lessen' vio-llations."

ENGINEATTHEREARAUTHORITATIVE OPINION

Mr. William B. Stout, a well-known-motor-car, and aircraft engineer inAmerica, is among those who favourmoving the power plant to the rear ofthe car.

As reported by the North AmericanNewspaper Alliance, Mr. Stout main-tains that the rear-engined car wouldafford about 20 per cent, more room forpassengers,give better traction on theroad, make for less tendency to skid,and allow the use of softer tires, whileretaining ease of steering.'. Tho engine at the rear would re-ceive better cooling and would be moreaccessible. Besides, it would providethe greater weight at the,rear, whereit is heeded so that the car may holdthe road better. This would result insmoother and safer riding.

In addition, better ventilation andsound-proofing could be given, since theengine fumes, squeaks, and vibrationwould be carried away from~'-ratherthan towards the passenger compart-ment. ■ . .. ."".-. ■ ■ .'.'..Eegardless of the type,.-'-;;;kindj" ormake of brake used-on a-car,'.it is"well-to oil all operating parts 'regu-larly, even if it is just a matter ofputting a few drops on the. threads ofthe adjustment nuts or on 'the anchorpins.

TOURISTTROPHYONLY PRODUCTION TyPES

(From "The Post's" Representative.)

'' LONDON, April 6.Only cars "as sold to-the public"

will be allowed to compete in the nextTourist Trophy race' on September 1 atthe Ard's Circuit, near Belfast.

The Royal Automobile Club's newrules ban superchargers, and everycarentered must be of a production type,and chassis of the type entered musthave been built in sufficient quantityto satisfy the E.A.C. that it is a com-mercial model.

The specification of the ear must cor-respond exactly with that laid down inthe catalogue, which, presumably, ex-cludes the use of specially high com-pression ratios.

Full equipment, including hood,screen, wings, and lamps, must be car-ried throughout the race, and tho driverand mechanic have to put up the hoodand take it down again within five min-utes under special observation.

A considerable stir has been causedin the motor racing world by the an-nouncement of these regulations (saysthe "Morning Post'''motoring corres-pondent). The . banning of super-chargers, in particular, is being widelycriticised on the,grounds that there aresigns that the supercharger will in thenear future be introduced in standardcars and that some *'catalogue" carsalready have them.: -■ .It has been announced t>y the PrimeMinister of Northern Ireland, LordCraigavon, that Lord Bothermere hasagain offered to provide' the prizemoneys£1500.

Lord Craigavon expressed apprecia-tion of Lord Rothermere's great gen-erosity. In the first three ye.arsof theT.T. lace Lord Rothermere had pro-yidefl the prize money, without whichit would have been impossible to havethe contest in the Ulster area, and nowhe had made the offer for a fourth year.

POWERTAXONCARSBRITAIN'S DISADVANTAGE

(From "The Post's" Representative.)LONDON, April 24.

The reduction of the horse-power taxon motor-cars from £1 to 15s on thehorse-power of motors has caused muchsatisfaction and will increase trade."The most welcome news that motor-ists and motor-cyclists have had formany years," was the comment of SirStcnson Cooke, secretary, of the Auto-mobile Association.

According to the secretary of-theMotor Manufacturers and Traders,. thoconcession does not go far enough."We asked for 10s per horse-power tobe taken off," he said, "to enable usto make the 20 horse-power car popu-lar in this country, so that it might alsobe used to capture the world's marketsfrom the United States. A reduction of5s in the tax will relieve the personwho is running a car, but it will notdo anything more. It may indupe: theman who uses a 10 horse-power car atpresent to take a car of 12 or 14horse-power instead, but not to buy a 20horse-power car. We will make themost of the reduction, however, and theresults may possibly educate theGovernment to tho point of giving usmore next year." ..." --In. the debate on the. Budget, SirRobert Home, who visited the Domin-ions six yearsago, referred to the effectof the power tax of cars on the motprexport industry. . ,

The reduction from £1 to 15s perhorse-power, he said, was no attempt tomake a grant in favour of the privi-leged, people,, but an attempt to'in-crease work and obtain opportunitiesin markets at present denied to ' us.When he returned from a visit to theDominions sixyears ago he WTOtea let-ter to "The Times," urging that thetaxation of, cars according to powershould be removed. He had seen theeffect of this tax, streams of Americanmotor-cars in every city of Australiaand New Zealand, in spite of prefer-ences in favour of British cars.. Ourdifficulty was due to lack of power inour cars, the British manufacturerhaving striven to produce a car withas little power as possible, yet suf-ficient for tho roads of this country.Such a car was not good enough forthe roads of Australia and New Zea-land. This was at least a beginning,which would have the result of en-couraging the British manufacturer togo in for higher-powered cars.

PETROLFROMCOALPROGRESS IN BRITAIN

■■■At tho annual general meeting ofImperial Chemical Industries, Ltd., thechairman, Mr. H. McGowan, made animportant statement in reference to theproduction of petrol from coal. He saidthat production at ...Billingham-> wouldcommencetowards the end of this" year.Previous estimates ,had put the .earliestdate for production as the spring, of1935. :■ A definite market had been,assured inthe United Kingdom for theproduct, asa result of the co-ordination of patentinterests. Imperial Chemical Indus-tries, Ltd., would not be concerned withthe distribution of the'^petrpl;" whichonce made would be handed'over inbulk-to nominated oil distributing comrpanics, which would pay the netaveragemarket price for the product.

"PAYASYOUGO"The following paragraph is lifted

without any reference to its contextfrom 'an article in the 'fSan Fran-cisco Chronicle.1' It contains a principlethat might well be emphasised in someof the British dominions:—''California's State highway financ-

ing plan is the result of years of studyand development. It is recognised to-day as one of the best in the nation.Itprovides great benefits for the motor-ist and is a large, factor in developmentof our State. It is a ' pay-as-yOu-goplan, unique in these days in that nocurrent obligations are passed along tofuture generations."

It is much easier to install a gasketon a perpendicular surface if the underside of the gasket is first coated withcup grease. This method lessens thechance of the gasket becoming-wrinkledand also keeps it from slipping out ofplace. .-"..-"

WORLDPROBLEMS

f ADDRESS TO CHILDREN

The Rev. Alun Richards, who recent-ly returned from a world tour madewith Mrs.Richards on a tandem bicycle,addressed the pupils of the HuttValley High School yesterday. Ina series of three word pictures Mr.Richards put before the children theunnatural conditions through which theworld is passing. The first was a pic-ture of slum conditions in Edinburghwhich, he said, were typical of thoseexisting in all large cities, and the follyof unemployment side by side with theneed for a housing scheme was empha-sised. The second picturewas- of armedEurope—nations standing in fear of oneanother while the paramount desire ofall peoples was for peace. The thirdpicture depicted the ridiculous posi-tion created by the burning of coffeein Java, and the destruction of rubberplantations in Singapore and wheat in

..America, while millions were daily fac-ing starvation.

Mr. Richards said he had asked oneof the-statesmen of England why thebest brains of the world were unableto solve these problems, and the states-man had replied that they all had theknowledge necessary,but were not inagreement as to what kind of worldwas desired in the future—in otherwords a right scale of values or poweror determination to get done what wasneeded. Only religion could give thesethings. ■■.--. .. ." .■>..

Tho speaker then gave descriptionsof different outlooks of German andEussian youth, gathered from inter-views he had. The German, youth,fresh from the, university, said thatGermany was solvingher problem alongthe line of nationalism, the watchwordof which was a self-contained Ger-many, "Germany for the Germans."The Russian outlook was equality, butan equality brought about by force ifother means failed! Lastly, Mr. Rich-ards painted a picture of Kawaga, ofJapan, who had renounced wealth andease to devote his life to social serviceand teaching the people the value ofco-operative effort.

Mr. Richards said that he was notthere to force Ms views on the child-ren, but he would commend the teach-ing of Kawaga to their thoughtful con-sideration.

CHATHAMCUPSYSTEM CONDEMNED

CLUBS SHOULD .BE HELPED

"Are the dangers and possibilities ofthe continuance of this. Chatham Cupcompetition, as now run, understood bythose'in control, and are tho local as-sociations giving the question enoughseripus attention?" writes a contri-butor. "It is my opinion that withthe Soccergajno as it is, New Zealandcannot successfully maintain a 'cham-pion of champions* teams competition.i "Judging by the present standard of

football, tho ChathamCup competitionhas not done anything to improve it;rather tho reverse, as the whole aimand object seems to invite the buildingup of one or two strong teams at theexpense of the others, and tho causingof so much interference with ordinarylocal competitions, that the interest ofplayers and public waneswhen it shouldbo warming. I feel that the Association

" management of New Zealand is inclinedto/]ive in the clouds and not with thoclubs, and that their energies are beingdivided when, they should, be consoli-dated in putting the game'on a moresolid basis than it is at the presenttime.■ /GAME .DEPENDS ON OLUBS.

"It is obvious," he continues, "thatthe whole future of the game dependsin the. main on the clubs and theirestablishment on a sound financial basisenabling them to develop>the game intheir respective centres. These clubsshould' bo encouraged to organise andlook after as "many boys. and juniorteams as possible, and not,simply toconcentrate .on.collecting a strongsenior team. It is only necessary tolook a few years' back and see howmany club organisations have goneout.Someof the old clubs which pioneeredthe game.arenow only a memosy.Mostof- them have gone under for tworeasons—lack of financeand lack of re-cruiting power. '-'>' WHAT EUGBY DOES.'

, . '/Surely with all the boys playingSoccerat the schools there should beplenty of boys, who could' be kept to-gether under the various club organisa-tions, bnt judgingby.the results thatTvo-:soe, many of

fthese boys must

change-over to.other branches of sportand be lost to the game. The local as-sociations" in their way control theclubs,but do they ever think how weakare the foundations on which they rest?'InRugby the old-established clubs carryon through the years; the public knowsthem and supports them. The interestin the competition is not centred roundone or. two teams,, but all the clubs area definite part of a competition fought'out to a finish,-and in. which interestis maintained 'to 'the end.

' /'Here in Wellington, the- local as-sociation is manfully struggling withthe.problem of finance, most of which.depends on"the capitation fees it getsfrom the clubs themselves. If a.clubbreaks, the- association is the\ loser.tTherefore I maintain that the local■management committee should devotemore time ta .keeping-in touch with thevarious club.organisationswith a viewto helping them to carry on. So muchis'taken for"'granted and so many bigideas;are built on shaky foundations.

POSITION OF CLUBS."1,, knp-p--that.certain clubs are not

at all in a happy position at the presenttime, and, if it was not-for the in-terest and spirit of a few, they woulddrop out of the competition, leaving itto.one or two clubs who are able, bymeans bordering on -'professionalism,'to draw' fo themselves recognised play-ers from other club's. These clubs areoncouraged to do this by the presentChatham Cup competition. This is notin: the best interests of the game inWellington"or In New Zealand, and Iam convinced that until local associa-tions devote more attention to club de-velopment embracing all the grades,and-the New Zealand Council revertsto the old system of representativematches between the provinces, where-by a representative team and not aclub team carries the banner, then thegamewill not prosper side byside withthe Eugby code. " . ,

"There is need for. a good deal ofthought and investigation into thereasons for thegame not progressing asit should,and for the disappearance ofmany of the'old-established clubs withtheir supporters and.players.''

WAIMEA COUNTY RATES(Special to tho "Evening Post.")

NELSON, June 8.Reductions in the. rates have been

made in- six of. the nine Tidings in theWaipiea County Council,the other throeremaining the same as last year. Thecountyestimates, which were consideredtoday, showed that the council wasbudgeting for, an/ increased amount onlast year owing to the necessity offinding funds for . permanently sealingthe Richmond-Appleby and Motueka-Biwaka roads, and to the'fact* that thecounty requires a greater amount offunds for bridges in accordance with amuch increased Main Highways Boardgrant this year. However, on, accountof the credit balances" held by eachriding it was found possible to make areduction in' rates,, which will be asfollows: Wangainoa riding 5-Bd, Stoke5-Bd,Appleby 5-Bd, Wai-iti 5-Bd,Motu-piko;5-Bd, Wangapeka; 5-7d, -Dovedalo5-7d, Motueka }d, Moutere 5-6d.
