The usual fortnightly meetings of theSydenham W.C.T.U. have been heldthis month with a good attendance ofmembers. After the general businessof the last meeting had been transact-ed, the Rev. Percy Paris gave an ad-dress on the Bible-in-schools question,which was most interesting and instruc-tive. _ At the conclusion a number ofquestions were answered and a veryhearty ivote of thanks accorded thespeaker. Refreshments were thenhanded round.

A very successful dance was held atthe Sydenham Football Hall\ by thePlain Dance Assembly. The large ball-room was artistically decorated withvarious shades of yellow paper and mus-lin streamers, and excellent music forthe dancing was provided by a full or-chestra.

Jade is found in Burma, China, andNew Zealand, and the finest specimensare very valuable. The best jade isgreen in colour; but white, yellow, andbrown jade is sometimes seen. InChina, jade is known as "Vu ?

" and isbeautifully carved by the native work-men into many forms. The Maoris ofNew Zealand are also very skilful incarving jade (generally called green-stone in that country), as are nativesof Burma. But there is no doubt thatthe most elaborate work is done inChina. A jade bead necklace in whichevery bead matched would probably costsome hundreds of pounds, according tothe quality of workmanship and ma-terial. But perfect specimens of the

are not reallv prized in GreatBrtain;'although there is a good de-mand for less expensive ornaments.The supply of jade is fairly plentiful.?ays the "Manchester Guardian," butit has never become really popular here,probably because the value is not soapparent as is that of other 6tones.Jade can hardly be deso.bed as pre-cicus, and frequently the v-Jue lies inthe workmanship. "

But of late it hj;»been coming into favour in the form ofheads and ornaments. The colour ofjadjs varies with the localities in whichit is found, and it can be obtained in-almost any shade of green.

A quiet wedding took place at Eden-dnle, recently, when Flora, youngerdaughter of Mr and (Mrs D. McDonald,was married to Dr. G. Crawfo d, Inver-caig.ll. formerly of Timaru. The bride,who was given away by her fath r, worea handsome dress of gold b ocadte. Herbridesmaid, Miss Storey, Venlaw, were•i pale blue frock. Mr S. Crawford,Timaru, was best man.

The Tramway Office stall held its an-nual dance in the Jellicoe Hall. Thedecorations were tastefully carried outin green and yellow, and the music wassupplied by Bailey's Band, Miss I..Sherwood playing the extras. Alto-gether the evening passed very pleas-antly, and the committee is to be con-gratulated on the results.

Every Saturday eve >ing, at the Cath-edral Grammar School, a programme,partly recreative, partly educational,and always interesting, is provided forthe hoys' Last Saturday evening theprincipal, the Rev. Stephen Parr, hadarranged that the subject should be"An Evening with Schumann." Alecturette was given on the works ofthe famous composer, and songs werecontributed bv Misses lUta Matson,Gill, D. Beadel; and Mr Wilkinson,while Miss Lorimer acted as accom-paniste. Amongst the many adultguests, who were received by Mrs Parr,were Archdeacon and Mrs F. N. Taylor.Mrs J. d;e B. Galwey, Mrs J. E Russ 11.Rev. Hubert Jones and' Mrs Jonea, Dr.and Mrs Haneen, Mr and Mrs Have,Miss Dorothy Cave, Miss FJma Sheri-dan, Mrs I>. B. McLeod, Mr and MrsWoodward.

Anotner gift of interest made byMadame Hainehus (uetter known aslUisa Dora VUicox, Uie i\ew Zealandpoetess.) to tiie .'JLumbull .Library dur-ing her stay in Wellington, is a re-production oi a sniuii picture which isa unique link between tma colony andthe Motherland in the days oi jfe» eanysettlement. The subject is & youngnative lad who visited England inMe was not fated to return to his owncountry, as he died in .England there,fjrol>at<> a victini to inhuenza due tothe severe climate, as was the case ofseveral other Maori visitors who wentHome in those days. The voyage wasa long process, and when the visitor didarrive at his destination, very oftenhe found the climate too much forhim, and either fell a victim to in-fluenza, or, in some cases, a severe lungcomplaint. Madame Hamelius explain-ed to a "New Zealand Times" repre-sentative that this Maori was calledMaui, which the English artist 6pelt"Mowhee," but apart from that verylittle seems to be known regarding him.The portrait is that of a distinguishedand intelligent young man. Strange tosay, his features do not show evidenceof the art of tattoo, or "moko," as hiscountrymen would have termed it.

METHODIST DEACONESSES'HOUSE.

In continuation of the opening cere-mony, which took place on the 16thinstant, of the Methodist Deaconesses'House, Latimer square (formerly theresidence of Dr. Thacker) an "AtHome" was held on Saturday afternoonunder the auspices of the MethodistWomen's Missionary Society. There wasa large attendance of ladies interestedin the work of the Society. The shortmeeting with which the proceedingsopened was presided over by MrsGeorge Bowron, president of theMethodist Women's Missionary Society.The speakers were Sister Mabel, Mrs W.J. Williams, Rev. W. A. Hay, Rev. 0.Abernethy, Rev. J. Harris, and Rev.F. T. Read. They spoke of the objectsof the Home which is intended, gener-ally, as the headquarters of thewomen's work in connexion with thechurch in Christchurch and vicinity.At it young deaconesses will be train-ed, Sunday school training classes willbe held,,and it will be the headquartersof missionary sisters, and a hostel forMethodist girls coming to this city.

At the conclusion of the meetingthose present inspected the Home, andafterwards partook of afternoon tea.

CANTERBURY COLLEGE SOCIAL.

On Saturday night, a most successfulsocial was held in the College Hall atCanterbury Oollege. The evening wasarranged by the Women's Club for thepurpose of helping on the social life ofthe College and of providing ent rUain-ment for both dancers and non-dano. rs.The programme consisted of items,games, and! competitions for the firstpart, followed by dancing.

Many people are going to the EmpireTheatre to see the new edition of the"Rainbow," where Daphne Pollard aridthe sixteen Empire Girls are a great at-traction. One of the theatrical criticscomments: "Daphne Pollard's versatil-ity is amazing. The best thing shedoes, in a variety of clever cameos isher skit on the Robots in 'A ModernIdyll." Originally a member of thePollard Opera Company, a collectionof clover #artists as well known 'downunder" as the Cnrl Rosa combinationhere, Miss Pollard came to England afew years ago, and has come to thefront without influence or 'introduc-tions." She 'banked' on her guainthumour and her clever gift of imper-sonation, and made good almost in anight. The Empire Girls are a sheerdelight; nothing better than their danc-ing has been seen in London fo*r manyyears."

New Zealand is going to be kept inthe forefront of her memory by Madamed'Alvarez. Aftern nineteen months'tourahroad, this eminent singer arrived bythe Cedric. Summing up her impres-sions, Madame d'Alvarez says shethinks New Zealand the finest coun-try in the world. She is every muchin love, too, with Australia and Aus-tralian audiences, and thedelightful waythat overseas people have of referringto England as "Home" impressed hergreatly.

ARTISTS' "NIGHT OUT."

SCENES IN MELBOURNE.

Sydney is not the only place wherethe feelings of municipal employees aresliockod by the doings when artistsdance,-says the Sydney "Sun."

Melbourne had its artists' ball re-cently, St. Kilda Town Ball being thescene. The Town Hall employees aredrawing up a special report to the Cb.m-cil, and intend' to lay stress on the con-dition of the hall after the last revell rhad left. That was after 5 a.m. on Sat-urday.

The susceptibilities of a section ofthose who attended, so it is reported,were so offended, that they left before'midnight.

They believe that some of the guestshad private supplies of liquor, andthere is a report that one party had six.dozen bottles of beer in a. motor-caroutside, and obtained further supplieswhen that had been exhausted.

Serious allegations have ber:n madealwut drunkenness, and it is assertedthat the allegati ns are not confined tothe men. It is said that some youngwomen were unable to w:)lk withoutassistance. It is snid that after 1a m.the scene in the hall was such as hasnever been witnessed before at a ballin Melbourne.

Support for the committee whir-h crn-du'ted the ball is fort:outing. It con-tended that it had not supplied any'iqnor. and that its members "did then-utmost to preserve harmony.

The great majority of those presentraised no complaint. They nrre th :t itwas not a Sunday-school meeting. Itwas an artists' ball, and' nobody but aprude, they say, wuild have been -h:ck-ed at anything that happened.

FRUITGROWING.

Tie orohard Instruction class held a very

•ucoeasful pruning demonstration on SuturT

day at Mi F. W. Cone's orchard, Papanui.Mr L. Paynter, Government Orchard In-

structor, conducted the demonstration. Heeaid that the principles of pruning pip jfruits having been exp.ained at ft lecture

» couple of weeKs ago, he wouid now puttiuni into practice, so that they Wuuid geta oetier understanding ol what had u«neaid. J±e was ft strong advocate otpruning, that is, removing oniy about oiie-

tbird 01 the new growth ol the leaders, in-

stead o£ two-thuds, lie then pruned a lew

vouii" Delicious trees, one, what he calledthe oid style of pruning, that is cutting

the leaders hard, and also all the side snoots

to about, five incnes trom their base. Unanotner, the leaders were cut ugnt, andall the laterals cut out, except those hang-

ina: low down, to induce ail iruit l>ud3to develop on branches. These two methodswill serve as an object lesson, the effectol which will be observed next winter, Henext pruned tweive-year-old Cox s andSturmer'a, cutting out a quantity oi fruit-ing wood. This was explained as neces-sary in order to get larger and-cleaner fruit.

The demonstrator next came to a blockof one hundred Delicious trees, six yearsplanted, which came into bearing this sea-son, producing from one to three bushe.s offruit per tree. The3e trees have been•pruned for the last three years, on theprinc.ple now advocated by Mr Paynter, andthey certainly proved beyond question thatit was a splendid method to adopt, inebranches had no laterals on, except low-down, and along their whole length everybud was a fruit bud. So apparent was theprospective crop, that several of those pre-sent expressed their astonishment. ihecetrees are grown in firat-c.ass soil. In re-sponse to enquiry Mr Ume explained howhe cam* to adopt tiiis method, lie saidhe pruned the trees hard, tne first threeyears, in oixier to ihkfpe them and get astrong irame, then he saw tnat tne jjreatproJm was so much erowth, tne treesgrowing about "five test every year and

THE COUNTRY.AKAROA.

A hearty laugh over an unconsciousbit of humour is always a welcome in-terlude in the discussion of otherwise"dry business." The other evening theBorough Council was listening to thereading of a letter from a well knownPeninsula farmer who was offering thetown certain choice flowering trees forbeautifying purposes. In characteristicgoodness of heart, he went on to men-tion other shrubs that were at theCouncil's disposal if some member couldmake it convenient to call with biscar. "I can till him up with otherstuff," ran the letter. Then thelaugh went round, and the wit at thetabte inistantly a cerft;£nbrother Councillor as the one mostlikely to do justice to the invitationimplied.

Sawyer to be P.egijtrar of Marriagesand Registrar oi! Births and Deathsfor the district of Ellesmere is gazet-ted.

LINCOLN.A committee of public-spirited resi-

dents was recently appointed withthe object of improving the local drain-age about the LI river. An inspectionof the whole course of the river wasmade, and it was found that the re-moval of the various bars, which wouldbe a comparatively simple matter,would enable farmers adjoining theriver to reclaim their land, and wouldmore than compensate the initial out-lay. The committee will take an earlyopportunity of placing . its proposalsbefore a meeting of ratepayers, andif these are approved, the presentstate of affairs will soon bo remedied.

The half-yearly meeting of the Starof Anglesea, U.A.0.D., took place inthe Druids' Hall, A.D. Brother Bar-tram presiding. Sick pay amountingto £2 10s was passed for payment. Thebalance-sheet showed a credit of over£27. The election of officers resulted

as follows:—A.D., Bro. C. W. Mills;V.A., Bro. A. J. Kirk; secretary, Bro.H. Fuller; treasurer, Bro. J. 11. Res-tall; I. Guardian, Bro. A. W. Mitchell;0. Guardian, Bro. J. C. Baxter,A.D.B.'s, Bros. J. Faulls and J. T.Pratt; V.A.B.'s, Bros. F. Barter andA. Kirk. The district president, Bro.W. H. Kirk, assisted by Bro.. Haus-child, installed the various officers ofthe lodge, who returned thanks. Avote of thanks -was passed to Bro.Kirk for the manner in which hocarried out the installation ceremony.The lodge was closed by.A.D. Bro. C.W. Mills.

HORRELVILLE.The Horrelville Miniature ±Ufle

Club recently renewed the sights andbarrels of their rifles, with the resultthat the shooting has shown a consid-erable improvement. ■ At the last shootthe total for the best ten was 695.The possible (70) was secured by J.Forrest, R. Jeffcoat, G. Dennis, T. Hur-ley, T. Eder, jun., and J. Horrell; 69by R. Thompson, D. Macann, and J.Woodfield, while E. Ryland scored 68.

SOUTH MALVERN.After some weeks of foggy weather,

the shortest days were heralded bythe nor'-west weather which seems to jbe an annual visitor at this time.Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdaywere mild and springlike days, but onThursday afternoon the wind veeredto the sou'-west. During the dayall post offices were advised to expectbad weather, and for once the weatherprophets were correct, though thestorm did not last long. During Thurs-day night there was a strong wind withrain, but only 18 points were recorded.On Friday morning it was evident thatheavy snow had fallen on the highcountry, and had even penetrated asfar down as Glentunnel, but at Coal-gate there was none. Mount Misery,The .flagpole, and the top end ofthe Bluff Hill were well covered withsnow, and the district wore its win-ter dress for the first time this year.

The recently-gazetted GlentunnelDomain Board will hold its first meet-ing on Wednesday, July 11th, when anumber of important matters will claimits attention. Though the DomainBoard and Hall Committee have hadvery successful times of late, andhave accomplished a lot of good work,the finances will require careful studyfor a year or two yet. There .arestill four quarterly payments to makeon the piano, while the new hall willrequire to be painted outside and m

very shortly. Spouting and down-piping has yet to be carried out. Onthe domain Itself an important workwill be the replanting of a further por-tion Of the reserve, and the care of

the portion planted last year. Ihehall is becoming increasingly popularfor all district junctions.

For the third time in three months,Mrs H "Rollinson, of Glentunnel, hassuffered bereavement. She recentlylost her mother and her husband, aim

spoke in eulogistic terms of the goodfellowship that had always existed be-tween Mr and Mrs Beck and family,and the rest of the district. Mr Beckhad been a zealous worker in the dis-trict, a member of the County Council,and chairman of the Fyvie School Com-mittee, and ns a man who called aspade a spade, bad held the respectof the whole community. Mrs Beckhad ably seconded Mr Beck as a work-er, and had proved a veritable tower ofstrength in time of trouble or sickness.The Misses Beck, too, hrd taken a kerninterest in all social affairs, and ' theirloss to the district would be great. Onbehalf of the residents of the Bank-side district. Mr McDonald then pre-sented Mr Beck with a handsome goldalbert chain, Mrs Berk with a goldwristlet -natch, and the Beckeach with a gold bangle. Mr Skevirig-ton, senr., endorsed the remark"? madeby Mr McDonald, and wished theireuests every success in their new borne.-Mr .Robinson spoke of the pleasant re-lations that had ahvay.o existed betweenhimself and Mr Beck durine the nineyears tliey had been neighbours, andsaid that'while Bankside was going tolose a good resident, Pleasant Pointwould benefit by the change. He calledfor hearty cheers which were given withvigour.

Mr Beck thanked all for their verykind remarks, and for the very hand-some mementoes they had given, but,speaking for himself, said he felt thathis good points had all been magnifiedby the previous speakers.

Mr McDonald then said he had an-other pleasing duty to perform on be-half of the district, in presenting MrW. Rankin with a pair of military hairbrushes, suitably engraved, and also asilver pencil, in recognition of the ser-vices he had rendered them by playingfor their socials during last season. Hementioned that it was many years sincehe had first met "Billv" Rankin, thena cadet on the farm of the late Mr F.R. Flatman, M.HR,, at Woodbury. Ithad given him pleasure to renew theacquaintance in recent years, and hehad particular pleasure in thus thank-ing Mr Rankin for the help he hadgiven them so willingly.

CHINESE GOOSEBERRIES.

At last week's meeting of the Auck-land Acclimatisation Society (plantsbranch) some fine examples of Chinesegooseberries were exhibited. 'lll y werj

grown by Mr Norman Uurton, at Fold-ing. The fruit grows on a quickly-growing vine, Actinidia chinensis, andis about the size of a passion fruit ora small lien egg. It is not in any wayrelated to the gooseberry. It gets t..a>.name from the gooseberry-like interio.of tii© fruits. Tne taste is like that 01a gooseberry and apple of g-od flavoursmixed. The seed is very small, and ar-ranged in a concentric brown u.yoiaround tlie centre about hall-way be-tween the skin and centre line. Theskin is thin, tliL- plant relying on short,thin, stiff hairs as a protection for itsfruit stalks and leaves. The kavv.s »rolarge, nearly circular, about -Airy in da-meter, and very beautiful. X.e tree Udeciduous, and'the fruit develops fullyjust as the leaves fall, the abundantbrown fruits giving the bare vine an od-fappearance. The fruit makes splendidjam. It grows in Central and NorthChina, and would come to maturity inany part of New Zealand (says tin 1"Star"). Missionaries repeatedlybrought the plants to this country, butfailed to get fruit. The reas m for thiswas that the vine has male and femaleflowers on separate piants. T. e,e mustbe two plants t->yether, or no fruit canbe gat, and it requires knowledge todlstmgish tht> sexes. Tiie short, stiffhairs or bristles g::\v over all the maleplant, but ilwy are absent from theshort stalk joinincr the leaf to the vineor twig or the female. In growiiis;plants from :xvd it lias been found thatmale plants are few compared withfemale seedlings. Tiiere may Ix> fifteenor sevent'en females to one "nvlc. Thevino quickly covers rocks clay banks,or fences. It is a valuable plant, andshould be extensively grown in NewZealand.

A freak of Nature is reported inWanganui, a cow having given bircu tofour calves—two male and two female,and all are alive.

PARK FOR TAI TAPU.

SIR HEATON RHODES'GIFT.

"Die Tai Tapn Rhodes Park DomainBoard are beginning their work inearnest (writes "The Press" Tai Tapncorrespondent). Some eight years ago,about 1-1 acres of ground situated' inthe township were secured as a domainfor the district. This area was plantedwith trees, and at present shows whatgood results may he obtained by judi-cious planting. Under odinary circum-stances this would have made a splen-did domain, but we have in t' e districta natural park bounded on three sidesby the Halswell river, containing na-tural ponds, sandhills, and a very fineplantntiiii of trees. This was known asthe "Horse-shoe'' Farm, and consist-ing of CS acres. It has been purchasedby the Hon. Sir It. He ton Rhodes, andpre.-ented by him to the Tai Tapu dis-trict. It is to bo named '"RhodesPark." The gift is a magnificent, one,posse sing, as it does, all the naturalbeauties which make an ideal park.The possibilities of the gift, owing toits surroundings, are such that thotrustees ha to to take its planting andlaying- nt very s?rinusly. One can onlyhope that they will plan as successfullyas the early pioneers of Canterburyhare done. A football and a cricketground are to lx> levelled and laid down,and arrangements have been mad© tocommence this work at once.

On Saturday an en husiae ic "work'ngboo" of the residents were diggingholes for the planting of the first shel-ter belts of trees. V hilst w: rking, oneworn! ?icd what fame in the future theyoung athletes in this park, under theshadow of Co'per's Knob, may win forthemselves. It was here on the Hals-well river that "Dick" Arnst, once ofworld fame- as a. sculler, first dipped anoar from his old punt. One can see inthe future this park being one of theplaying-fklds and picnicking l grounds ofChn.st"hureh, and every assistanceshould ho given th" trustees to make itas perfect as possible. It will be an-other everlasting nrniTinl of the gener-osity and public service of the donor.

It is said that most of the Empire'sbattles have been won on our playing-fields ; it is the opinion of very many inthe district that our soldiers' memorialshould be placed in the park, either.inthe form of entrance gates or a memo-rial inside the grounds.

FARMERS' UNION.

OXFORD.

The monthly meeting of the commit-tee of the Oxford branch of the Farm-ers' Union was held in the CoronationHall on Thursday afternoon. Mr H.G. Parish presided, and there- was agood attendance of members

Correspondence was received from theprovincial secretary, asking for detailsof the damage done by floods.

It was reported tnat the greatestdamage had been to fords, roads, andbridges, and that except for one ortwo cases of damage to ckxver, and alittle wheat, not much damage hadheen done on the farms.

The members' roll was discussed, and'the question of dealing with , thosemembers who were several years in ar-rears with their annual subscriptionswas considered. The president was in-structed to interview the defaulters.

The secretary reported that since thelast meeting he had received thirty-onesubscriptions.

A circular was received from the Do-minion executive covering the opera-tions of the moratorium. A long ar-ticle on Nauru Island phosphates wasreceived from the same source. It w,aadecided to deal with the latter at' afuture meeting.

The president gave an interestingreport of the Provincial Conference,held on June 7th and Bth. He drewattention to what appeared to be differ-ential treatment meted out to privateand company consignors of produce atLyttelton. It seemed almost impos-sible for a farmer to get shipping atLyttelton for small parcels of produceto the North Island ports. Thus pri-vate individuals in Canterbury were un-able to do business in such products aswheat, chaff, and potatoes with privateindividuals in the North lslandL

"

Tosecure shipping it seemed to be neces-sary to rwtss the goods through anagent. From personal experience he )had found it impossible to send away50 tons of chaff or 300 bushels of oats,or five tons of potatoes withoutsendingu.rfui through a merchant. As threebales of wool could be consigned toEngland, there seemed no legitimatereason why small lots of produce could•not be as easily forwarded to NorthIsland* ports.

The unsatisfactory and apparentlyarbitrary method of grading producewas criticised. It was held that condi-tions should so obtain that when theproduce was put on the railway thefarmer's responsibility should cease.The farmers were handicapped in hav-ing their produce dealt with at Lyttel-ton. Farmers" also wanted to knowon what principle graders worked. Sev-eral instances of unsatisfactory gradingwere reported. A farmer sent fiive tonsof potatoes to Lyttelton, and they wereall condemned. He went to Lytteltonto investigate, had them sorted underhis observation, and only one and -ahalf sacks were rejected, which hebrought back to Oxford and sold forLbe same price as he had got for thoseaccepted. A farmer's wheat was re-jected as "rotten." He went to Lyt-teiton, and had tae wheat sampled.Uut of 2,'0 bags, only two could be foundin which there was dam, ged wheat.>ie had a sample taken from everysack, and he sojd tno whole consign-ment on the sample' produced. Anotherlarmer had two tons of chaff rejected,ile investigated, and out of the • 56sacks only two were found defective,jur the consignment seemed to iiaivebeen rejected on account of the (actthat some of the bags had dirty markson them. It was held that whateverwas the other sida of the question, thematter was one meriting enquiry. Itwas understood that the North Islandconsignees had a man in Lyttelton look-in£ after their interests, and it was heldthat the consignors should' have a manacting in a similar capacity for them.

It was decided that the Agriculturalthe Provincial Executive

be asked to investigate conditions in ITjT-telton, and recommend the appointmentof a man to lork after consignors' in-terests in Lyttelton.

It was decided that the next meet-ing be hold on July sth, when the mat-ters held ewer would be dealt with.

Fir 6 Enquiry.The enquiry which commenced at the

Coroner's Court, Timaru, on Thursday,regarding tho origin of certain iires atOrari, by which stacks of grain weredestroyed, was advanced a furtherstage on Saturday.

Continuing his ovidence, Mr E.Clarke said that when he consolidatedhis grain in tho paddock there were 480sacks of Victor in one heap, and hehad also placed 34 sacks of Victor ina shed. In the heap of Velvet therewere 117 sacks of Velvet andsix sacks of Victor ih addition to whichhe put 11 sacks of Velvet seconds intothe shed. At the present time he hadabout 40 sacks of wheat in the shed,and he had used a little for fowl feed.The insurance claim was made up bya man who went to witness's farm. AC.F.C.A. man from Temuka sampled thostack of bags. Witness signed theclaim after the others had made it up.The threshing-mill proprietor, Palmer,told witness that he could not swearto his numbers.

To Senior-SergeantFahey, witness saidthat he had 641 sacks of grain alto-gether, including 480 sacks of Victor—the heap in which the Are occurred.There was.a separate heap, containing104 sacks of Velvet, which was notburned.

Mary Ethel Clarke, wife of the pre-vious witness, said that she awoke atabout 6 a.m. She gave her husbanda dig with her elbow and asked himif he did not detect a peculiar smell.He said: "No, you're always Bmell-ing something." She then went to thewindow of the sitting-room, where shedetected a strong smell of burning—-something like burnt toast or bread.She then went back into the bedroom,and told her husband what she hadnoticed. He agreed with her that some-thing was amiss. It then crossed hermind that it might be the wheat. Shethen went to the backyard to lookround. Her daughter went out to milk.When her husband left for the fire thedaughter had not started milking. Onhis return herhusband said toher: "It'sthe big pile, after all.''

Mr Sim submitted, at this point, thatthe senior-sergeant should not question.

Mr Mosley: The senior-sergeant hashad many years' experience at this sortof work, and I have always found himfair. It is my duty as Coroner to be-come possessed of all the facts.

Witness, continuing, said that bybreakfast time her husband had cometo no conclusion on the mattor. Sheknew that the stacks were insured, andthought the best thing to do was tocommunicate with the insurance people.Her husband was so excited, he did notknow what to do. She was the bosson this occasion. She sent him to seethe insurance agent.

At this point the Coroner remarkedthat the senior-sergeant should notcarry his cross-examination too far.He should leave something to the dis-cretion of the Court.

The Court adjourned at noon until9 a.m. on Monday.

Saturday's Football.Zingari (6) beat Star (5).—Zingari

met Star on Athletic Ground No. 1.It was a spectators' game, the groundbeing like a skating rink as far asslipping about was concerned. Starkicked off, and a couple of minutesafter the commencement of the gamelooked like scoring, but play wasrushed up to the other end, and a-pass-ing rush by Ashton, Storey, Herdman,and Skellerup (Zingari) resulted in atry. The kick failed. Zingari pressedhard again, and got close up to Star'sline. Star forwards blocked the rush,and Gibb (Zingari) took a mark anda shot at gaol, which failed. At thisstage P. Ward retired hurt. Star nowtook the lead with a strong rush, but,1 kick into dead-ball line spoilt theirchances. Play hovered on the half-wayline for a.' time, but a mark by Storey(Zingari) sot tilings moving. Offsidegave Star a chance, but a mark by Ash-ton sent the game up to Star's goal-line with a rush, and a little later ascrum on the line took place. Clark(Star) took a good mark, and followingon this Storey secured, but was welltackled, and his effort failed. AgainStorey picked up, but Gibb missed thepass. The spell ended with the scores:Zingari, 3; Star, 0. Tho ground wasnow badly ploughed up, and resembleda quagmire. The second spell openedwith play well up in Sta.r territory.Play then rushed smartly down to theZingari goal-lino, but the Yellow for-wards got the ball at their feet anddid some clever dribbling. A neat pass-ing rush by the Star forwards lookedlike resulting in a try, but Robinsonfumbled and spoilt the effort. A littlelater Underhill got offside, and Zingariused the kick to advantage, gettingclose up to Star's line. Star nowchanged their tactics, and made thepace a hot one, play being in Zingariterritory for the larger part of thespell. Star were awarded a free kickfor offside, but Logan's kick failed. Asmart forward rush by Star resultedin Eobinson getting across. Logan'skick at gaol was successful.

Commercial Travellers were out againafter the nimble shilling, on behalf ofthe St. John Amublance Brigade. TheBrigade members have been badly inneed of uniforms for some time, andtho travellers, with their usual gener-osity, organised a street day. About16 travellers in various fancy make-ups started early in the morning, anddid a brisk trade in the streets, ex-changing badges for money. ' Therewas a ready response on the part oftho public, and in spite of the* factthat the town was not as busy asusual, owing to wet weather, good busi-ness was done. The total amount col-lected was approximately, £lls. Inthe evening a smoke concert was held.Mr H. E. Marshall (president of theSouth Canterbury Commercial Travel-lers' Association) presided over anattendance of about 50 members andfriends.

Selwyn (6) v.. Technical (1).Selwyn and Technical met at LancasterPark, where tho ground was heavy andslippery. Solwyn had tho upper hand for

the major portion of the game, and clearlydemonstrated their superiority in all tactics.Attacking from the opening bully, and alterW. 801 l had had an unsuccessful shot, theykept tho game penned in Technical's circleuntil Richmond opened the score from ascramble round the goal. Technical rallied,and being started by Calvert, had Selwyndefending their goal, but the latter clearedfrom a penalty hit. Poor fielding by Lockelet the Selwyn forwards through to> theiropponents' circle, but Lins saved the situ-ation by kicking out. Solwyn kept theuper hand, but offside play lost several op-portunities of scoring. Squire added ' &Solwyn's score by a solo effort from Tech-nical's twenty-five, terminating in a clevershot which beat Technical's goalie all thoway. Technical made a further effort, andreached Selwyn's last line of defence, whereHilgrove cleared with a long hit upfield.

i Play centred in midfleld for a spell untilj the Selwyn forwards made a combined rushand reached Technical's circle. Squire c«n-I tred neatly to Richmond, who found the netwith a quick shot a few minutes beforehalf-time, which came with the score: Sel-„wyn, 3; Technical, 0.

The second spell opened with a smartattack by Selwyn, and S. Bell found the neta few minutes after resuming. A series offruitless and alternate attacks took up thenext quarter of an hour's play, during whichtimo neither team could Clnim any advantage.Technical were the first to gain a distinctadvantage, and Scott and Gracie headed nsmart_ rush, which enabled the former tosond in a shot which McCaffrey stopped with

a lucky hit. Selwyn retaliated, but woresent back by Morris, who transferred toScott. The latter got through to Selwyn'scircle, but McCaffrey was again safe. Tech-nical kept up the pressure, and from anenalty corner Gracie notched their solitaryt'oal with a high, quick shot. Selwyn tookcharge asain. and shortly before time wascalled (uldcd a fifth goal.

C.A.C. CUP COMPETITION.On Saturday teams from Ra-ngiora, Elles-

mere and Cnnsi/oliurch Gnn Ciuba met ontne Chris i,uhu>n:h grounds at Jjoonburn in acompetition tor the CA.C. South.' islandC'hailtngo Cup. Ilia cup is a very haudfiomdone presented by tie Colonial AmmunitionCo., litu., .AualiiaiKi, and la lor competitionby ail dutbi in the South. Inland, us itsbeing presented some months ago ah thecluixj iieid matches on their own grounds,arft as the Christchurch Club made thebest performance they became the originalholders. Then bpringston and Rangiorachallenged the holders, but- were unsucoess-liu in obtaining the trophy. On Saturdaythe Rangiora and tllasmere Clubs madebetter, scores than the home team. Severalof the Christchurch men shot very badly,much bciow their average, otherwise thecompetition would have had quite a differentending. At the completion of the shoot-ing the blackboard showed the totals to be:Hangiora 118 V Ellesmere 118, and Christ-church 111. The releree then compared hisrecord with the board and it was discoveredhie Hangiora. total was 119, he having givena break which showed as a mis 3 on fhehoard. The position, therefore, is that itthe referee's score is taken as correct thenRangiora win, but if thd board is regardedas the official score then a tie exists be-tween Rangiora and Ellesmere. Generally,the board is looked upon as the official score,but as in this instance the soorer wasone who is not conversant with tho shootingand does not know the shooters, it is justa question which will be considered cor-rect. It has been-decided to refer the mut-ter to the CA.C. Co., and their decisionwill he taken as final.

(7SOH CuT. OWS COBP.ESPOKDEXT.]

LONDON, May 18Mr T. C. Lowry, back at Cambridge

after his tour with the M.C.C. team,has been distinguishing himself in localcricket. Last week Cambridge metLancashire, and thanks almost entirelyto 3lr Lowrv and Mr SaravannmuttH,the match ended in a. victory for theUniversity. In the first day's play theNew Zealandcr completed his centuryin the second innings in two hours, andwent on hitting brilliantly until ho hadscored 133 not out. On the second' dayhe carried his scire to IGI before bein?caught out. This is his first three-figure innings in first-class cricket in

England, though lie played one mNew Zealand during the tour withMaclarcn's team. According to the."Athletic News," Mr Lowry, on hisform against Lancashire, will be one orthe bc.-it batsmen at either Universitythis summer. The same paper goes onto remark: "Though Lowry hits hardand scores raoidly, he is a watchfulbatsman. He" take,? no chances withreally good bowling, but he is amongstthe lew cricketers of the"day who dareto ho bold against indifferent bowling.Ono of his favourite strokes he per-forms bv stepping back on his wicket toa. good-length ball and forcing it be-tween forward short-leg and mid-onbv superb wrist power.""Mr Hugo V. Anson. M A., Bac. Can-

tab, (son of Dr. Ct. E. Anson, of Wel-lington), has lately accepted the posi-tion of Musical director in the famousAlleyn School at Dulwich, whose pupilsnumber 700 bovs. During his studentdays at Trinity College, Cambridge,Mr Anson was always very prominent inthe musical world of the University, andho is now coming very much into thelimelight as a composer. At the pif.renfctimo he has two piano suites about tolie- publish cl by Messrs Sehntt and Co.,London. Ono "consists of Prelude, Pas-toral-Saraband-Toccato, and the otherof Prelude, Pavan, Intermezzo, andCaprice. Although both these compo-sitions aro considered to be difficult. MrAnson hopes that they will be. morewithin the reach of average pianiststhan his "Etudes de Ballet," recentlypiiblishrd by the same firm. He hasalso a piano concerto on the stocks, andas soon as ho has finished the music fortli-o performance at University Col-lege, London, of "Antigone" lie intendsto statt on a comic opera, the librettoof which won £IOO "prize some timeago. The musical setting of this operawill probably be done on altogethernew lines. It is expected that the; per-formance of "Antigone" will take jilacasome time in October.

Mr T. TV". Attwood has been making; a,

round of the various ports whose autho-rities an> desirous of fostering directtrade with New Zealand. He has beento Hull, Bristol, Cardiff, and Liverpool,and now bo is at Manchester. Yester-day the members of the ManchesterRotary Club assembled to hear MrAttwood deliver an address on "ThePonds of Empire." 'He told his hear-ers that the Colonial Empire could notcontinue to grow and prosper withouta profitable outlet for her products inthe markets of the United Kingdom,neither could the Homeland continuemuch longer a policy of "splendid iso-lation." Imperial trade had become anecessity. "\Yhile at Bristol last weekMr Attwood was very much pleasedwith a shipment of New Zealand porkwhich lie saw at the Avoninouth coldstores. He was told that a recent Con-signment, when cured in Yorkshire,yielded hams equal to those, of that far-famed county.

Mr i\ B. Smith, C.M.G., has beenasked by the British Government tojoin the delegation from the OverseasSettlement Department which is now inAustralia, and which later visits NewZealand. SMr Smith is an agriculturalexpert, and his duty will Iks to enqui**-*into the prospects of land settement.He was Director of Agricuture for the.Transvaal from 1902 to 1910, and forthe Union of South Africa from 1910 to1920. He made extensive tours of theUnited States and Canada., and is anacknowledged' expert in agriculturalmatters. He has been Header in Es-tates Management at the University ofCambridge since 1920. Mr Smith willjoin the Orcades at Naples on Juno2nd, and will proceed to Australia. 'lliaGovernment are also taking steps_ to

send a. "War Office representative to jointhis delegation in the Dominions.

The Beirut correspondent of ''ThoTimes" to-day gives credit to a. NowZealand officer for the accomplishmentof the long-cherished idea, of a. quickland route from the Mediterranean toBagdad and India. This has beenmade possible by the development of amotor-car service established in Beirutby the New Zealauder soon after thaArmistice. For some time past an effi-cient service has been maintained be-tween Beirut and Haifa, thanks towhich the express overland mail fromEgypt is now delivered in twenty-fourhours, under contract with the Egyptianand Palestine, Governments. The Bei-rut-Hnifa service, however, was merelythe first step towards a more ambitiousscheme. The new route brings Bagdadwithin sixty hours' land journey of the,Mediterranean. The trial trips wore.undertaken through ' Damascus, thenacross tho Syrian desert to Ramadie,and on to Bagdad, a, distance of 590miles, with only one stop half-way be-tween Damascus and Ramadie at RutbaWells, the only available water source,throughout that stretch of desert. Thefirst journey was done by Mr Pilmor(British Consul at Damascus) and MajorMcCallum, M.C. (liaison officer with thoHaut Commissariat). Negotiations aroproceeding with the Iraq Governmentfor tho transport of mails to Haifa,with eventual connexion at Port Saidwith London-bound steamers. This willreduce the time of transit for mails be-tween London and Bagdad' to eightdays.

before Mr Justice Adams, EmmanuelOlsen, wharf Labourer, petitioned fordivorce from his wife, Amy Olsen,Robert Gil! being named as co-respond-ent. Petitioner said there were fourchildren of the marriage. His wifeleft him in February, 1920, and wentaway with Gill. She admitted livingwith co-respondent.

Xavior for' the Leyland Motors,Ltd. and Texas Oil Company; Mr P.A. Kitchingham appeared for the Do-minion Motors, Ltd., and bankrupt wasrepresented by Mr W. J. Joyce. Bank-rupt was examined at length on histrading transactions, after which hisHonour asked if Mr Doogan proposedto ask for an order under Section 124;Sab-section 7 of the Act, to the effectthat bankrupt had passed his publicexamination.

Mr Doogan said that the questionwas whether further proceedings wouldbe taken. After consulting with MrNaylor, he said that the examinationhad been satisfactory to his client.

"But it is not the examination,"said his Honour: "it is tlie affairs ofthe bankrupt that have to be consid-ered, and I don't think they have beensufficiently investigated. I cannotmake an order without some evidencethat the affairs have been sufficientlyinvestigated.

EDUCATION BOARDS.

APPORTIONING OF SEATS.

(press association txlegbax.)

■WELLINGTON-, Juno 23.The Director of Education, Mr J.

Canghley, brought before the Councilof Education the question of the appor-tioning: of seats an education boards,as between town and country districts.He moved: "That tho Council of Edu-cation ia strongly of opinion that thepresent method of apportioning seats ineducation twards is quite inequitabloand undemocratic.

"As the result of the working of thepresent Act urban areas profit largelyin representation at the expense ofcountry districts. For instance, oneurban area, with a population of 6000,has tho same representation on a. hoardas large country districts of 30,000.Anomalies in other districts are equallyobvious and indefensible, and in theopinion of the Council representationso disproportionate and unfair to thecountry districts calls for the attentionof Parliament.

"Tho Council desires, flierefore, toagain urge upon the Government, as itdid in WIG. tho, necessity of an amend-ment to thelaw which will give justicetothe country districts. Further, it shouldbo noted that in the Parliamentary elec-tions legislation was provided for acountry quota, which gives a 28 percent, advantage to the country voter inrepresentation, whereas under thepresent system of Education Boardelections a very heavy quota is given infavour of the' town. For instance,there are cases where a,n urban electorhas an electoral advantage of 300 percent, over the country elector. If anyspecial portion of an educational dis-trict is to have representation advan-tage the 'Council is of opinion that theprinciple as obtaining in the generalelections should be invoked."

Mr Canghley added that the Depart-ment was quite prepared to wait untilthe boards had thoroughly consideredthe matter and forwarded their sug-gestions to the Department.

Tho motion was agreed to.

RICCARTON BUSHTRUSTEES.

Tho following is the report of the Ric-carton Bush Trustees for ttfo year endedMarch 3tst last:

■There ha-3 been no change in the member-ship of the Board of Trustees during thoyear. In addition to the City Councilsstatutory vote and tho grant from Canter-bury College a grant of £'2s was receivedfrom tho Waimairi County Council, anda donation of £lO 6s from Mr W. H. "VVin-sor. Tho expenses on the upkeep of thebush and improvement of the grounds have■been heavier than usual. In order to pre-serve a- very large specimen of climbing",bush-lawyer (Rumu .sp.)—the largest in thoBush—the dead white pine tree to whichit is adhering had been securely stayed,another treo that Jmd been blown downwas removed, considerable improvementshavebeen made to the fencing, a new tank andrain have been provided at tho ranger'scottage, and various repairs and improve-ments to the cottage effected. Owing tothe damage being done to the Bush byopossums a warrant to kill opossums inthe Bush was obtained from the Ministerof Internal Affairs and an attempt is beingmade to rid the Bush of them. There havebeen a few cases of persona gathering seed-lings, ferns and other plants, and in otherways acting contrary to the by-laws, buton the whole Tery little'damage has beendone to the Bush since it was opened tothe general public. The neighbourhood ofthe Bush is now more thickly inhabited andthe risks of damage to tho Bush, therebyincreased, but the trustees earnestly appealto those living in the vicinity and to allvisitors to do everything, in their power topreserve the bush in its present conditionfor the benefit of future generations. MessrsCuningham and Taylor have kindly ■agreedto act as hon. solicitors, and the trustees,are greatly indebted to them for their ser-vices. The balance-sheet shows that thecredit balance, which at the beginning ofthe year, owing to exceptional causes, wasjE9O 14s Bd, has been reduced to £lO 18s9d, and it will require the strictest economyto keep the necessary expenditure withinthe income for the coming twelve months.

The annual report stated that the Pen-nant competition could hardly be called suc-cessful, owing to so many postponementshaving taken place.

TIMARU CLUB.

The following is the report and balance-sheet of the Timaru Bowling Club for theyear ended May 31st, to be presented atthe 37th annual meeting to be held onWednesday night:

Tho season has been most successful.Club matches were completed to time and,owing to there being no expenditure on, theplant account, the bank balance has beenincreased by £35 15s.

Sympathy and regret were expressed atthe deaths of Messrs E-. A. Le Crcn andGeo. Steven and also with many memberswho had suffered loss by death in theirfamilies.

One team of four riaks was entered forthe champion match, but was not success-ful. Two teams of four rinks were alsoentered for the Shield Competition, whichwas won by the Timaru A team. Thechampion rink, Messrs Moyes (s), Carlton,Souter and Waddell, were runners-up inthe Centre Rink Championship. During thoyear the Timaru Club lost the Bristol Cupto the Kia Toa Club, and iailed to regainit when they challenged later in tile sea-son. During the season the Club was rep-resented at several bowling tournaments, buttho only successful team was the pair,Messrs Moyes (s) and Smellie (lead), whowon the Pairs Competition at tho localChristmas tournament.

The usual competition for tho StansellShield was held on February 24th. Theamount collected in entrance money for theBlind Soldiers' Fund was £4. The com-petition was won bv Messrs J. G. Gow (s),E. Orwin, F. Martin and W. Sinailt. Atthe close of the season a putting competi-tion was arranged for the benefit of the'Commercial Travellers' Orphanage Fund,but owing to the wet weather it had tobe abandoned early on the Tirst day.

The prizes won during; the season werepresented at a smoke concert held in theClub's pavilion on May 10th.

Acting on a recommendation from the lastannual meeting, the executive procured esti-mates for a billiard room and two tables,but regretted to report that, owing to thehigh cost of building, tables, etc., the pro-jpet would result in a financial loss to theClub. Various successful social functionswere held during the year. Thanks were ex-pressed to nil who had helped the Clubin the season's activities.

LAYING DOWN A GOOD GREEN.

Interesting reference to the method oflaying down a good green is made in theannual report oi the tjreen superintendentof the Wellington Bownng Club (.Air W. J.Thompson). Kelemng to the club's middiogreen, Mr Thompson says: "The soil intnis green was too binding, the heavy rollercaused, it to become consolidated, and, dur-ing the hot weather, it cracked very badiy.Expert advice was sought, including that ofMr Sayweli, of Feilding, who has had muchexperience in making bowling* grecuo, andaiso that of the Agricultural L/epartmcm.The officers of this Department kindlyanalysed the soil, and they found it con-taiued too much clay. 1 then "decided thatthe turf on the middle green, to a depthof one and a-ha".f inches, should be taisenoff, and the lower soil forked up. Thiswas done, nnd fionio 24 yards of good, cleansand was harrowed in, and a good top-dress-ing of lime given. I made many enquiriesfor soil for the final top-dressing, beinganxious to obtain material which wasfriable, porous, and also fertile. Finally,I obtained a sample from Marlborough, andlater visited Blenheim and inspected severaldifferent qualities or soil. I purchased 37yards of soil, which was shipped to Welling-ton and was thoroughly sterilised beforebeing placed on the green. Bonedust andsuperphosphate wa3 applied, and tho areasown with Brown Toy seed, with a smallproportion of Crested Dogstail. Fineweather favoured the work on the green,but unfortunately, as soon as the sowingwas completed there was a severe storm,which necessitated the area being resown.Since then the weather has not been atall favourable, but I think that by nextChristmas this green will be all that mem-bers desire."

CANTERBURY RUGBYUNION.

SATURDAY'S MATCHES.

There ms an excellent attendance at Lan-caster Park on Saturday, where Marists andOld Boys met for the second time this sea-son on the oval, the former winning aftern ™d tusrie between -.h-> forwards. Meri-va!o did not score so many points as an-ticipated aeainst Xorth Canterbury, whileSydenham-Lytteltnn had only three points intheir favour when time was called in theirgame against Alhion. At the Show GroundsChristelmrch had an easy victory over 'Var-sity, who did not field their best fifteen.On Saturday the grounds were very heavy,and for short periods during the afternoon

showers of rain fell. The followingtable shows the positions of the teams en-gaged in the senior competition:—

Goals

Marists, who were not at full strengthin the backs, lost the toss and kicked "offagainst Old Boys, Milliken sending playto the Marists' twenty-five with n good kick.Several line-outs and loose forward rushesended in favour of Old Boys, whose backsattempted a passing rush, which was stop-ped by Diedrich tackling Hay in possession.Old Boys kept up the pressure, and severalscrums were formed in Marists' twenty-five,but Peterson, McCleary, and F. Bowmanheaded a forward rush that was pulled upby the Old Boys' full-hack, Harris. Shortpassing by the Marists' hacks saw excellenttackling by Baird and Gray, and eventuallythe former secured and passed to Milliken,who made a good run and sent to Thompson,who had a clear field to the corner, whereho scored. Carleton failed with a difficultkick. From this on Marists put moro viminto their work, and quickly forced OldBoys with a good forward rush. 0. Fitz-gerald cleverly took a mark, but his shotat goal was fruitless, the ball being touchedin its flight by an Old Boys' forward.Within a few minutes both Werren (OldBoys) and 0. Fitzgerald (Marists) had toretire owing to injuries, their places beingfilled by Smith and O'Loughlin respectively.Marists, by means of forward rushes, keptOld Boys defending hard, and passing be-tween McCarthy, Diedrich, and Fitzgeraldonabled the last-named to score a try, whichMcCarthy converted. Marists.'S; Old Boys,3. A couple of smart dashes by Bowes andclever defensive work by Harris were fea-tures of the Old Boys' play during the nextfew minutes, bnt the Marists' forwards, withan advantage in the Bcrum, held them safely.From half-way Ellis started a dribbling rush,which w»b carried on by McCleary, whobadly beat the opposing backs with cleverfootwork and carried the ball over the line,where E. Fitzgerald was handy enough toscore. o'Sullivan failed to convert, and half-time sounded with Marists leading by 8points to 3.

In the second spell the game developedinto a forward Btruggle with both sets ofbacks showing cleverness in kicking to theopen spaces. The Marists forwards con-tinually hooked the ball in the scrums, andkept It there. Old Boys were now withoutS. Carleton, who had retired hurt, and wasreplaced by at five-eighths by Millikon.Harris, the Old Boys' full-back, had plentyof work to do, his handling of the heavyball being exceptionally good. McCarthy, ofMarists, secured often, and made severalgood solo runs, and at times his taoklingwas brilliant. Marists kept up a hot at-tack, and- Diedrich at first five-eighths dashedround the scrum to take a pass from Mc-Carthy. The latter's pass struck Diedrichin the chest, the ball going overthe line. O'Loughlin, with • greatburst of speed, beat Smith andHarris, and scored near the corner. Thetry was not converted. From this on playdeveloped into a battle fiercer than everbetween the forwards, but no further scoreresulted, Marists winning by 11 points(three tries, one converted) to 8 points (atry). Mr T. Bain was referee.

Ohristclrorch (27) v. 'Varsity (6).Ohristchurch kicked off against 'Varsity

at the Show Grounds, and a shower of rainmade the ground greasy. Shortly after com-mencing both 'Varsity and Ohristchurch hadfree kicks, but attempts to land goals wereunsuccessful. From a line-out OhristchuTchobtained and kicked. The 'Varsity full-backmade a poor attempt to stop the ball, andhe was compelled to force. 'Varsity In-vaded Christchurch territory, but a goodsolo run by Robilliard Baw play sent backagain. Jefcoate kicked the ball, and Melvin,following up fast, scored. The kick at goalwas unsuccessful. Gibson and Kirby wereconspicuous among the Christchurch for-wards in breaking away from line-outs. Inone of these the ball was returned witha good Hck, which Brown oaught in a handyposition, and potted a very neat goal. A

great passing rush among the Ohristchurchbacks ended in Melvin missing the ball, thepass being a bad one. A few minutes laterthey had another golden opportunity of scor-ing, but this time the ball was thrownright over Melvin's head, eventually goingout. Robilliard was again prominent, andgood backing up nearly gave him a try atthe corner. Time and again scrums wereheld right on the 'Varsity line, and hadOhristchurch obtained they could hardlyhave failed to score, but 'Varsity had mat-ters all their own way, and heeled the ballout. Melvin took a mark and had a pot,but it failed, and 'Varsity now came downwith a great rush and got right on to theOhristchurch line, a force resulting. 'Var-sity were making great efforts, to scorewhen the half-time whistle sounded withthe scores: Christchurch, 7; 'Varsity, 0.

In the second spell Christchurch Imme-diately took play into 'Varsity's twenty-five, but 'Varsity brought play back again

to half-wav, and the ball being booted alongthe ground, it went past the full-back andover the lino. Te Awarua got up and scoreda rather lucky try. Craven failed to con-vert. 'Varsity started to show up more,and play travelled from one end of the fieldto the other with great rapidity. Christ-church at last got going, and in a great rushto get to the ball, which had been kickedover the line, Jones and Leahy got up to-gether, Leahy getting the try. Anderson skick added the ex,tra points. Play was onlyresumed a couple of minutes when Melvingot over for Christchurch again, Anderson-converting. Robilliard started a good move-ment, and some pretty passing saw the ballagain come into his possession, and hefinished up the effort by scoring a good try.Anderson converted with a great . kick.'Varsity started a forward rush, but it wasshort-lived. 'Varsity Went right up to theChristchurch line, and, although missing,they came again, and this time Brodiescored. The kick at goal was unsuccessful.Christchurch retaliated with a good rush,which ended in Jones scoring alongside theposts. Anderson converted. The whistlesounded with the final score: Christchurch,27; 'Varsity, 6. The Rev. W. B. Scott wasreferee.

Merivale (17) v. North Canterbury (0).Plav in the match, Merivale v. North Can-

terbury, was delayed for half-an-hour pend-ing the arrival of a football. Merivaleearlyinvaded the visitors' twenty-five, but in-

fringements nullified their efforts for a spell.With Merivale attacking, the country sidewas penalised, and Penberthy opened theacore with a good goal G xve-and-take nlav was followed by a Blue uitack,lut a penalty relieved, and North Canter-bury invaded the Merivale **«*£*". «*•'•

they had an unsuccessful shot at goalfrom a penalty. Merivale cleared, andBlaVev looked a sure scorer, but only aforce down resulted. Merivale continued topress, and the ball going out to Doreenhe went over for a try, which Penberthyfailed to improve. North Canterbury suc-ceeded in holding the Blues for a while, buteventually Merivale secured from a.scrumand a pretty piece of passing, in which thewhole of the backs participated, ended in

Dween going over at the. corner PenberthySI by a narrow margin to add he extrapoints. Half-time was called with the scoreu n in Mcrivale's favour.°

On the Sumption of play North Canter-bury attacked, but were unable to pene-trate the defence. Merivale cleared and at-tacked in turn, but the effort was spoiltowing to McCabe holding on too long, andNonh Canterbury cleared. Merivale againattacked, but a repetition by McCabe lost1,.,in trv and a force-down was even-?«alW wcoided. Faulty handling by Men-vale backs assisted North Canterbury in

keeping the score down. Merivale continuedtoi press, and from a loose rush Duggan ob-tained and dashed over for a try on thecorner. Penberthy failed at goal. Combinedwork by McCabe and Doreen looked likeonline in a score, but Smith saved in goodttvle North Canterbury stacked, but failedto score and a penalty enabled Merivaleto reverse positions. Hardie secured and,beating several of the opposition, went overfor a try under the posts, and R. Evanshad no difficulty in adding the extra points.Time was called without any addition to thescore, and Merivale won by 17 points (fourtries one penalty goal, and one goal from

try) to 0. Mr T. Crawshaw was referee.Sydenham-Lyttelton (3) v. Albion (0).Sydenham-Lyttelton took the field with

only eleven men against Albion, but werelater reinforced by two players. The gameopened in straggling fashion, neither teamcaring to take any risks with the hack:.,

while the forwards seemed unable to handlethe greasy ball. Greatbach and Gilesfrequently headed the Sydenham-Lytteltonforwards in attacks on the opposing goal-

line, but their backs gave them little sup-

port and Johnston, Foster, and Masters

kept them out. A loose forward rush bySydenham-Lyttelton found the Albion backsweak nt stopping- and Sargentina registeredthe only score of the game, a try that wasnot converted.

Albion made thines merry right from thecommencement of the second spoil, andseveral dribbling rushes caused the Syden-ham-Lvttelton backs a lot of trouble.Itutheriord and Masters were continually inthe picture, but the ball was greasy anddifficult to handle. Albion had all the bet-ter of the exchanges, but the Sydenham-Lvttelton defence held out to the finalwhistle, which sounded with Sydeuham-Lvttelton leading by 3 points (a try) to 0.

LEAGUE.

The Rugby League competitions were ad-vanced on Saturday In each of the fivegrades. The grounds were very sodden andgreasy, and the games were more of a for-ward nature than are usually seen. Theprincipal game, between Addington andHornby, at Hornby, was drawn, each sidescoring ten points, though the home teamwith their aggressive forwards should havewon, as the ground was detrimental to thework of the speedy and clever Addingtonbacks. Sydenhulm beat Woolston on : thelatter's ground, the first-mentioned teammaking the best use of their backs whilethe ground held good. They scored alltheir points in the first spell. In the Becondhalf the Woolston forwards, adopting thedribbling game, made a strenuous effort, butthe defence of their opponents held good.Kaiapoi made the trip to town to play Lin-wood at Linwood Park, but the ground beingunfit to play on, the game was abandoned.Addington retain their leading position forthe premiership, the positions of the teamsbeing as follows:

_Matches. Ps. Cup.

Sydenham (15) v. Woolston (11).

The ground was sodden and in placesvery greasy when play commenced betweenSydenham and Woolston. Sydenham attack-

ed at once, and Woolston were. penalisedwell within their own twenty-five. T. Oooni-ber placed a goal. Passing freely, theSydenham backs resumed their offensive, andfrom a penalty T. Ooomber's kick went

under the bar. W. Reeves led the Woolstonforwards in a strong rush, but the teamplay of the Sydenham backs gave them con-trol, and B. Stapley saved cleverly bymarking. The ground was now treacherousand the ball heavy. McAlpine secured pos-session and scored for Ooomber to goal. Astrong forward rush by the Woolston van-guard was repulsed by Ooomber andMatthews, and Kowe, with rapid in-and-outpassing, broke away. J. Stapley interceptedand prevented a score. A penalty gavethe Woolston team relief. James beat liowetor possession, and the Woolston forwardsdribbling over, James scored, but B. Stapleyfailed to goal. Howe cut oft' a forward rush,and, going through, kicked oyer the line,but being obstructed by the Woolston full-back, was awarded a try, which Ooomberfailed to convert. The Woolston forwards,with Reeves, Corkin, and Mills prominent,had Sydenham defending hard. A penaltygoal sent the attackers back, and Molloy,side-stepping his opponents, passed in to

O'Connor to Dawson, and on to McAlpine,who scored, and T. Davidson converted thetry just prior to the interval. The scoreswere: Sydenham, 15; Woolston, 8.

On resuming the Woolston forwards rushedplay to the Sydenham twenty-five. The homeforwards, keeping the ball down, were show-'ing to advantage with good footwork, andHarris and Keeves overpowered their op-ponents. The latter dribbled well and scoredcleverly. B. Stapley converted. The Wool-ston forwards were harassing the opposingbacks by their dribbling rushes, and thoughMatthews and King were repulsing somehard attacks, the home team continued theiraggressive work and bustled Coomber. Thelatter kicked high for C. Stapley to scoreat the corner. F. Stapley failed at goal.The Sydenham forwards set up a series ofattacks on the Woolston line. Good de-fensive play by Harris, Smith, and F. Stap-ley checked some hard rushes, and just be-fore the final whistle Corkin and 0. Stapleybroke away, but Coomber saved cleverly.The final score was: Sydenham, 15 points(three tries, two goals, and a penalty goal)to 11 points (three tries and a goal.Referee, Mr A. B. Shadbolt. *

Hornby (10) v. Addington (10).

Hornby kicked off with the advantage ofa light though bitterly cold, wind, and soonhad Addington in trouble. The first scorecame from a penalty kicked by Parkes. Ad-dington gained ground by passing and, afterSanders missed a kick, Woodgate and Viviantook play back to the other end. Goodmansaved, and fast passing put Addington on

the attack for Sanders to land two goals.McGregor gained a stretch of ground by agood run, and then from a scramble Vivianscored wide out for Parkes to kick a fine

foal. The rain, though light, made theall greasy, and the Addington backs could

not handle very cleanly. Hornby, with greatadvantage in weight, were carrying nearlyall the scrums, but. the backs were nogood in centre. Mackie again sot his backsoff, but Vivian held on too long, and wastackled in possession. Banders missed twodifficult shots at goal, and then Hornby wereoff again. Davis took a good pass fromParkes, and kicked between two men, agreat race for possession ensuing. Daviswas there first, but the ball bounced againsta post, and he lost it, for Symister to sprintin and force just in timo. Hornby kept upthe pressure, but could not score. The half-time score was: Hornby, 7; Addington, 4.

Addington were more quickly off the markthan Hornby, and a pretty passing boutended in Symister forcing himself over wideout. Sanders's kick was close. Hornby setup a strong attack, but their efforts lackedfinish, and Watt and E. Falgar sent themback. A fierce meloo on the Hornby lineended in Watt putting his side ahead by aclever cut-in. The kick fell just under theposts. Davis was lucky to stop McGibbonand Lagan from scoring, the ball going outin touch. Molloy and le Warne camo awaywith a loose rush, but Lagan made a bril-liant tackle, throwing Parkes out at the cor-ner flag. A fight on Addington's line re-sulted in a force, but the Blacks kept at it,and Davis managed to crawl over, almostexhausted, at the end of a strong rush. Thekick was miles off. A series of kicks wastedtime, and Sanders had a penalty kick, whichfell short. Time was called with the scores:Hornby. 10; Addington, 10. Mr T. Kirtonwas referee.

At English Park Lyt-telton met Bangers, where the game wasdrawn with one goal apiece. Nomads playedSt. Albans at Richmond Park, where theformer had no difficulty in annexing thepoints, with a Bcore of 5 goals to 1.

Bangers (2) v. Lyttelton (2). '

Bangers Kicked off and almostimmediately forced a corner, which wascleared. From another flag kick, Dowkerjust failed, to head through, and Allencleared. 'Bangers kept up the pressure,and from combined play on the left Seddonput over. Bissett just failed to connectand D. Taylor .cleared out to Hennessey,but Gonnack Intercepted nicely. Followingend-to-end play, Liddon broke away forHangers, and, beating the defence, he fin-ished with a shot, which Allen punched out.Bissett snapped up from the clearance, buthis shot went wide. Again Liddon brokethrough, and from the centre Tupe testedAlien, who fisted the ball oat to Bissett,From the position Bissett should have stor-ed easily, but his shot went wide. Staffordand Hennessey took play to the other end,but J. Taylor failed to gather when well&laced and Bangers returned to the attack,

orman put to Tupe, who raced throughand beat Allen with a low shot. Fromrepeated attacks by Bangers, Allen savedin good style, but from a transfer byCross, Norman registered with a hard drive.There was no further score at the interval.

Lyttelton became aggressive following theresumption and Perry cleared from Hen-nessey. Lyttelton come again and Staffordtransferred to Kelly, who opened thescore for the Blacks.

The PressM onday, June 25. 1923.

Opposition Methods.The general public is not muck inter-ested, us n rule, in what it may re-gard as a dispute between one news-paper and another. There are, "how-ever, coin© principles of public import-ance involved in that misrepresentationoi "Tlie Press" by our morning con-temporary, to which we refeiTed lastweek, and it is on that account thatwe return to the subject. The factsare very simple. The Liberal paper,resenting our criticisms of the Leaderof the Opposition, declared in themost positive terms that a few monthsago "The Press" was enthusiasticallypraising Mr Wilford's statesmanlikequalities and declaring itg opinion thathe would make an. excellent Speakerof the House. We invited our con-

temporary to point out to ua wherewe had expressed ourselves to thateffect, but we received no response.After waiting for a few days, in thehop© that our critio had made a mis-take in its reference and would hon-ourably confess its fault, and findingno intention of that kind, we feltobliged to say plainly that the misrepre-sentation could not but be deliberate.This judgment is confirmed by anarticle printed by our contemporaryon Saturday. The only fact in thisarticle ia that amongst the mass of

political news and opinions and specula-tions wlrich, in common with, all thepapers at that time, we printed in ournews column, we recorded, in a mes-sage from a correspondent, the factthat a contributor £o an Aucklandjournal had advocated Mr Wilford'schoice as Speaker on account of hisstatesmanlike qualities. This opiiiion,like a hundred others, we recorded justas we record all kinds of news and mat-ters of interest. Our readers will hardlybelieve, but it is a that on thestrength of our publication of this newsitem, our contemporary maintains thatits original misstatement is justified.In its article it makes so many otherwilfully untrue statements that to re-cord them would take up more spacethan wo can allow. It iwill suffice tonote come of them. The originalcharge was that "The Press" had on itsown account expressed as its own opin-ion that Mr Wilford possessed greatstatesmanlike qualities. On Saturdayour contemporary said that its originalassertion was it "had read in 'The"Press' advertisements regarding Mr«Wilford'a capacity, experience, and" judgment" 1 Our original request wasthat our contemporary should "point"out to us where 'The Press' expressed" itself to that effect." On Saturdayour contemporary said that our originalrequest was that we should be told"wlere these praises of Mr Wilford ap-peared in its columns." Misrepresen-tation could hardly go further; but ourcontemporary did go further, and actu-ally went on to say that "The Press""endorsed" the opinion of the Auck-land writer 1 We need hardly say thatthis is a statement completely and wil-fully untrue.

Here, therefore, we have a leadingLiberal journal making a perfectly un-true statement, and seeking to supportit by further, untrue statements, andall for no useful or respectable pur-pose. The resralt ouglit to be, and nodoubt with many people will bOj, that infuture our contemporary's politicalcriticisms will be received with verygreat reserves; More important to" ThePress" as a newspaper is the con-sideration that such methods as thoseof our contemporary are likely tobring journalism into undeserved ill-reptfte. Journalists and newspapers arenot infallible, and are not expected tobe. But they are expected to be seri-ous and straightforward, and in gen-eral they are. When a paper of somestanding, as our contemporary nae been,shows itself to be reckless of its obliga-tions in this respect, the task of othernewspapers is made difficult. That, itseems to us, is a consideration of pub-lio importance Another which arisesout of the Liberal paper's decision toattempt to brazgn out a demonstrablyuntrue etatement is this: That the caseof a political party the forwarding ofwhose interests requires the newspaperssupporting it to adopt suoh tactics, orat least leads them into doing so, can-not have a case founded xipon honestyand sincerity of purpose.

America and the World Court.

In the matter of the World CourtPresident Harding fluctuates strangelybetween boldness and pathetic timidity.First ho said that he would stump thecountry as the Court's advocate—hewas, if we remember aright, to delivercne> hundred speeches. Then he saidthat he would not stump the country.Now he actually is doing so, though hiscourse i 3 a. little erratic. But it isperhaps easier to criticise him on thisside of the world, where politics, after<Ui, are in the main simple .and clean,than it is to arrive at a full apprecia-tion of his dangers and difficulties. Thevehemence with which he keep 3 shout-ing that the League of Nations is deadis in itself eloquent of his anxieties.No good republican dare say that heregrete the League, or may suggest bydeed or word that bo has any sneak-ing sympathy for the ideals of Wood-row Wilson. It is a time in America.—a time that recurs every four years—-when a politician to be successful must"wear gum shoes and be an adept at'•'the art ofpussyfooting." We do not

know how adept Mr Harding is, butthere are indications that he- is notless skilful to-day than he was whenhe first emerged from Ohio, and clearly,if this is not the case with him, he islost. With the World Court on topof the problem of the fanners, andboot-legging on top of both, the Presi-dent has more reasons for walkingwarily than any of his predecessors

since Lincoln, 2s"or can he quite es-cape with the aid of a flood of pro-mises. A well-worn story is told ofa candidate who was asked at a meet-ing if he would favour an alterationin the Decalogue. Not knowing whatthe Decalogue was. he asked a friendat his elbow, and being told that itmeant flogging in the Army, he saidboldly that lie- favoured not only itsmodification, but its total and immedi-ate abolition. But Mr Harding iseven more afraid of the promises, hav-ing so many opinionative supportersbehind him, than he is of blunt re-

fusals. It is already being whisperedin his csvn camp that the next ticketwill be "Harding and Cecil," while the"New York Tunes," poking its relent-less fun at Senator Hiram Johnson,makes the Californian say: "As for"Cecil's trip, what do you suppose"would have happened if I Sad reared"up on my hind legs and told tho"people of Europe what they should"do?" To us it seems all a joke, butthe President's three now proposals for

getting America into the World Courtwhile getting the World Court simul-taneously out of the League of Nationsshow that even Hiram Johnson is nota joke to him. There seem to havebeen "pussyfoobers before the pussy-"footers"—again we quote the"New Yovk Times"—and for the next

six months the man from Ohio will beafraid to let his right-hand friend knowwhat his left-hand supporter is doing.

Divided Duties.

Among the items of business to be dealt

with that appear on the order paper for

to-night's meeting of the ChristchurchCity Council is the notice of motion

proposing that the proportional repre-

sentation system for Council electionsshall be abolished. As Messrs H. T.Armstrongand E. J. Howard., who are

members of the City Council as well

afi of the House of Representatives, findit inconvenient to absent themselvesfrom Parliament just now, they have

asked the Mayor that the proportionalrepresentation question, in which theyare interested, shall be postponed to a

later date. The request savours, to our

mind, of impertinence. Messrs Ann-

strong and Howard themselves are

alone to blame.for the divided duty

which presents itself to them to-night

and will present itself on each alternateMonday night during the session. Theychose to contest seats on the Councilseveral months after they had been

elected to Parliament, and they have

no right to ask that the business of the

Council, in which they are supposed totake part, shall be held up, apparentlyindefinitely, so that they can be presentat, and perhaps take part in, the pro-ceedings in Parliament to-night. The

incident brings once more into promin-ence the undesirableness of members of

Parliament being also members of the

City Council. The lattej are electedto assist in the administration of thecity's affairs, and the man whose occu-pation takes him out of the city for

a period of several monthß in the yearis obviously less acquainted with ine

city's needs, affected as they may behy changing circumstances and condi-tions, than one whose work lies inChristchurch, and who is every uaymingling with hie fellow-citizens andhas time and opportunity to keep intouch with city mattora. No member

of Parliament can be also a member ofthe Christchurch City Council withoutneglecting in a measure either his poli-tical or his municipal duties. Anaverage session of Parliament extendsover at least four months, which meansthat if a City Councillor M.P. attendsto the work for which his constituentssent him to Parliament he must beabsent from at least eight sittings ofthe Council, or, in the alternative, ifhe places local before national businessand spends every other Monday night

in the Council chamber, his place in theHouse is vacant fortnightly on certainlyone night, and towards the end of thesession, when Monday sittings areinstituted, for two nights in the week.Representatives of a party that insistsso strongly on ''one man, one jou '

should be the last to hold two jobs whenfor a considerable period of the yearone must clash with the other. TheCity Council will, of course,- please it-self as to the action it takes regardingthe Parliamentary Councillors' request,but it is assuredly under no obligationto hold over public business to suittheir convenience.

Wit, said 'frineulo, should not gounrewarded. Neither should scientificfervour, even when its source is Mos-cow. An Associated Press message from.Russia, dated April 28th, says that asciontific expedition financed by theSoviet Government, has solved a mys-tery half a century old by its discoveryin Kursk of a magr.etio ore field. Aboutt>o years ago it was noted that com-passes used in Kursk, instead of point-ing directly at the North MagneticPole, swerved as much as 15 degrees to-ward an indefinable stretch of territory.Though the presence of magnetic orewas suspected as the cause, hundredsof borings failed to locate this, and itwas only after six months' work by anexpedition sent at the instance ofLenin, that or© was found near theprovincial town of Tohiqui. The threeprofessors who headed the expeditionbelieve that the ore field, which is 150miles long and from five-eighths to oueand one-quarter miles wide, may proveto be one of the richest finds in theworld.

The romantic students of our Train-ing Colleges should thank their starsdaily that they aro not enrolled inSyracuse University, U7S.A. By a oe-cree dated April 25th, the Chancellorannounces that marriage of any stud-ent will automaticaly cancel enrolment,and "a/l of his or her connexions withthe University." The ban has beenissued as the only satisfactory methodof ''curbing the matrimonial mania"that has been sweeping through, Ameri-can institutions of learning since thewar. The Deans were called together,

and after long and anxious -discussion,have decided that .matrimony andscholarship do cot mix. Unlike jN'ewZealand and Australia, which havefound that young wives and husbanismay bo brilliant students, America hascome to th<? conclusion that Etudentmarriages are disrupting to academicenterprise and achievement, that stud-ents need a firm regulation to makethem appreciate the seriousness bothof study and of marriage, and that thoonly hope for them is a firm andfast rule against undergraduate matri-mony. What the students say the news-papers do not, perhaps cannot, report.

This year's anniversaries include thebi-centenary of tho death of a Scot-tish sailor, whose real name, AlexanderSelkirk, conveys nothing to a greatmany people, but who, as RobinsonCrusoe, enjoys immortal fame. JuanFernandez, the island situated somehundreds of miles distant from the coastof Chili on which at his own requesthe was tjlaced in 1704, and from whichrather more than four years laterhe was rescued by a passing ship, is nolonger the solitude that it was whenhe was its only human inhabitant. Itis populated by some 240 people, mostlyfishermen and whalers, living in pleas-ant and picturesque surroundings onthe shores of Cumberland Bay, a spotwhich, remoto as it is, had some sharein the Great War, for it was there thatH.M.S. Glasgow sank the Germancruiser Dresden. Selkirk would notknow his old camping-place at the bayif he could seo it to-day, for it possessestwo schools, a post olfico, a cemetery,a chapel, and a wireless station. Andvery soon it will have another attrac-tion, for a South American hotelproprietor is about to erect there a

hostel for visitors for whom a regularsteamer service between Valparaiso andJuan Fernandez is to be maintained.Somehow, the thought of "trippers"exploring Robinson Crusoe's cave andclimbing to the peak from which hekept a look-out for passing vessels,rather cheapens the glamour that theisland possesses for all who rememberwhen they were boys.

An important fact of interest to allpersons who collect payments from thePensions Oliice on beinuf ol pensionerswas elicited last week from the ueputy-commis.-fioner of stamp duties in Auck-land.

As a general rule the blucgum treeis regaruou as an asset, unci its possi-bilities as a medium lor money-wakingaro not to be overlooked.

During last week aatari was made to cut it down, butthe task proved a long one, and whenSaturday night came it was still un-felled, and ivas stayed up by a couple, ofropes. During a squall which aroseabout 7 p.m.' on Saturday, the treefell, and in doing so .smashed rightthrough .the sfilJery and rear portionof a house on an adjoining_ property,and also ffla<Jp a big hole in a two-storey stable and trap-house near by.The damage is estimated at £2OO.

One of the subjects dealt with at theconference of-Rotary Clubs at Welling-ton, was '.'Friendship," and an ableaddress on the subject was given byKotarian Laidlaw, of Auckland. Afterreading a passage from Emerson, thespeaker said that they had been toldthat there was no sentiment in busi-ness, but that wan not, or should not,bo so. One of the mam troubles withthe world to-day was that people didnot show their true selves; but lived inan atniosphere of deception. Childrenhad jio class distinctions, and confidedfreely one with the other, but whenthey became men and women they hidtheir better feelings. Was that a re-suit of their educational system? Ro-tary was doing a wonderful service tothe community in the cultivation ofa spirit of friendship, but every manand woman could do oven more bycultivating the spirit in himself or her-self

At the con-ference which has justbeen heldat Dun-edin it was decided to open a fund forthe Westminster Abbey of Methodism.The New Zealand friends are aimingat raising £250, and tho appeal goesforth with the exhortation that 'theconference expects every Methodist toclaim the privilege of giving somethingtoward renovating Weslev'e Chapel andmaking it a centre of world-wide Metho-dist life.'"

EARLY SETTLERS.THE PROPOSEDASSOCIATION.

Amongst those interested in the cele-

bration of the anniversary of Canter-bury there has been some curiosity

expressed recently regarding the pro-

gress being made to carry out tho de-

cision to form an Old Settlers' Associa-tion. . n _

At a meeting of the Anniversary Day

Committee, iieid on January _3Jin tinsyear, the question of establishing anLocation ot old colonists and tneir

dtoceuaauts, was disced at so e

length There was beiore the meeting

iniormation regarding the constitutionand rules ot similar associations in

Auckland, Wellington, ami Otago. In

the case of the Auckland Association,it was stated that membership was ie-stnetod to colonists of iiity yearsstanding; and tno Outgo Association re-

stricted its membership to those whoarrived in 184S, or cue descenuents orUiose who arm en wiunn uveiuy yearsof the foundation of that province, viz.,184S-1868. The "Wellington bodys titleis the Wellington Kari.y Settlers' andHistorical Association, and inemi>er»u.p

is open to those interested in the oldcolonists, as well as to old colonistsand their descendants.

The Mayor (Mr J. A. Flesher) who,as deputy Mayor, presided over themeetings of the Anniversary Day Com-mittee last year, and at the meetingthis year, stated in reply to a report-er's question on Saturday, that thematter of the formation of the EarlyColonists' Association had not beenforgotten' or overlooked, b\it mattersconnected with the municipal electionsand other questions that had arisensince, had prevented a meeting beingcalled of the committee, consisting ofhimself. Dr. J. Hight, Professor J. Shel-ley, and Mr R. B. Owen, to which themeeting in January last referred tnomatter of drawing up the constitu-tion and rules of the proposed Associa-tion. In the meantime, however, hehad drawn up a set of rules which, asregards membership, followed the Wel-lington Association's provision ratherthan the restricted membership provis-ions in the rules of the Auckland andOtago Associations. Mr Flesher addedthat he hoped to be able to call ameeting of the committee within thenext few weeks, to go through theproposed rules preparatory to their sub-mission to a public meeting to be calledfor the purpose of forming the Asso-ciation.

Mention was made by the reporter ofthe fact that the year 1925 would markthe seventy-fifth anniversary of thefoundation of the province of Canter-bury, and Mr Flesher was inclined toconcur with the suggestion that someeffort should be made to celebrate theoccasion in a special manner. At oneof the meetings of the Anniversary DayCommittee he had thrown out a sug-gestion that a pageant should be ar-ranged depicting the arrival of theearly colonists and some of the out-standing indents of the early days.The first thing to be done, however, wasto get the Association formed and puton a sound basis, and he hoped thatthis would <he accomplished before nextAnniversary I>ay.

"CUFFS AND COLLARS."

APPRENTICESHIP QUESTION.

Reference to the coming apprentice-ship legislation was made by the Minis-ter of Labour (the Hon. Gf. J. Ander-son) when speaking in the House of Rep-resentatives on Friday night.

Mr Anderson said that he had beenendeavouring to bring about a betterstate of affairs in the apprenticeshiplaw. If possible, he wanted to ascer-tain why it was that so many appren-tices were offering for what had beenexpressively termed the "cuffs and col-lar trades,'' as compared with the veryuseful trades of the country. Nearly200 per cent, of apprentices were offer-ing for the engineering trades, fitting,and turnng.

'fcJix John Luke (Wellington North):"There is no engineering in the coun-try. The engineering trade has beendriven out of the country."

The Minister said that it was impos-sible to get apprentices for blacksmith-ing or moulding, bricklaying or plaster-ing Carpentering apprentices were,not offering in very- large numberseither, and there were not nearly suffi-cient carpenters. What he wanted todo was to ascertain what was the bestmeans of inducing boys and girls, totake up the clothing and other tradesof great importance to" the community,rather than take up professions or goin for clerkships. Amongst tho unem-ployed 'of the country the great major-ity were those who had got into deadends. In times of depression it wasivery. much easier to deal with thosewho had a knowledge of trades. Tech-nical schools were very necessary inconnexion with the training of appren-tices. The scheme' he proposed wasnot an attempt to make the technicalschools a part of the 'apprenticeship,but an adjunct to it. He was verypleased that the Director of Education(Mr J. Caughley) intended to' fostertechnical instruction in the junior highschools.

The Minister concluded by sayingho believed that they would be able toevolve some means that would inducea larger number of boys to take uptrades and not get into dead ends.

WORLD COURT.MR HARDING'S NEW PLAN.

"POLITICAL JUGGLING."

[BY CABLE—PfIESS ASSOCIATION—CGfYBIGHT.)VAI.-STBALIAS A NiJ .v.z . Ci!>:, E A .WOCUTI^s-.)

(Receive/] June iUth, 5.5 p.m.)-\"i;\Y YORK, Juno 22.Mr Harding's new stand regardingthe World Court has bfen greeted hy

the newspapers according to their poli-tical leaning, the Kepubluan paperspraiainir it while the JJcuioerauc edi-tors term it a surreiick't to the irrp-coiK-ihihlos and a backdown from tV.J'if-'sitlnni: s announced attitude. Ther»seems to be nu doubt tiiat .Mr llardinehas been forced to yield to the itepubii-can .National Committee and the groupof -National Senators headed by sena-tor Borah.

Senator says the President'snew proposals are regarded as lessen-ing the chance of the United Qiaos'entry, into liio Court, inasmuch as theSenate is not likely to agree to theCourt electing its own Judges, beingjealous of the right of the Unitedstates to vote directly in rilling Statevacancies. rhe proposals will also bebitteny attacked ijy tne Ueinoerats.

Observers believe that -Mr Harding,convinced that the entire scheme ofAmerican entry into the Court will uedefeated, is now doing political jugglingin order to throw tne I'esponsibimy forlaiaire on the Democratic opposition.

President Harding, on his way toAlaska, made a speech at &t. I,'ouis,suggesting tnree c-nanges in the Per-manent Lourt or .International Justice,designed to sever it from the Leagueof .Nations, and so ease the way forAmerican entry into the Court. ThePresident proposed:—

(1) That vacancies on the Courtshould be filled by the tribunal itself,or else by nations which were members,instead ot by the League.

(2) That the apportionment of con-tributions, supervision of expenses, andiixiii£ Judges' compensation, should beexercised either by I'lio Hague Court orby a Commission designated by mem-bers of the World Court.

(3) Abolition of the League's exclu-sive rights to seek legal advisory guid-ance from the Court, or else the exten-sion of this right to all members of tneCourt.

The President declared his willing-ness to accept a clarifying reservationthat the United States understandsthe Court owes no subservience or obli-gation to the League of Nations, andproposed other changes as a, basis ofnegotiation. He declared :—"I amso eager for ultimate accomplishment ofthe move that I am interested in har-monising the opposing elements, andmore anxious to effect our helpful com-mitment to the Court, than I am tosecure a victory for the Executive."In a sentence, he hoped that in timeGermany, Turkey, and Mexico wouldadjust their international relations sothat they might join the Court.

The President dealt lengthily withthe various Senatorial objections, re-peatedly asserting that he would doeverything possible to satisfy thosjjfearing that entrance to the Courtwould involve the United States in theLeague of Nations' affairs, adding: "In.the face of the overwhelming verdict of1920, the League of Nations issue is asdead as slaivery. It is not for us."

RENEWED ACTIVITY. IBIGGER AND FASTER STREAMS j

OF LAVA.

(Received June 21th, 5.5 p.m.)HOME, June 22.

The emissions from Ein.i have, d.min-ished, and the progress of the streamsof lava is slower. It is expected thatthe lull preludes the final output,though the other symptoms of a vol-canic paivxysms are unabat.d. out-pourings of evil vapour, subterraneanroarings, ruim-lings. and andthe raining of volcanic sands and ashesare not diminishing, nevertheless thehopes of the inhabitants are liLh. Manywho fled are returning. Ti'.is naturallycomplicates tlio elaborate measuresadopted to organise relief. There ishardly a man or woman in the devas-tated area who is not convinced thatthe decrease in the volcanic fury is dueto a miracle.

The King, on returning to Rom:", saidthe eruption, although serious, was notlikely to bo a, catastrophe. The resultswere limited to the destruction of pro-

perty without loss of life.Later reports state that Etna's re-

duced' output ivas of short duration.The eruption has been resumed with allthe original intensity, and the lavastreams are now spreading over a, widerarea, and their progress is more rapid.The seaplanes over the locality reportthat the lava flow is now thirty yardsper hour, more than double the List twodays. The eruption orifices show atendency to increase, owing to the ac-celerated flow. Lingunglossa, whichhitherto has been shielded by a- emailhillock, is again threatened. The resi-dents have removed most of their valu-ables and household furniture, even todoors and windows. Many, in spito ofthe threatening danger, hold to the be-lief iri| an eleventh-hour miracle. "The-greater the danger, the greater themiracle," is their maxim.

Signor Mussolini shows remarkablepersonal interest in the needs of thesufferers. He twice visited' the sceneof the lava advance, and was deeply im-pressed by the sight. The whole ofthe small towns were beflagged andgreat enthusiasm was shown. Covoredwith dust, and his face black with soot,he smiled at the peasant greeting. Hedeclared that the Government wouldhelp to repair the damage immediately.

Genoa and Milan have each vt&ed£SOOO.

Signor Mussolini severely denouncedtil© Italian Press, declaring that manyof its alarmist accounts were greatlyexaggerated.

FLOW DECREASING.

AN INTREPID OBSERVER.

(Received June 24th, 11.5 p.m.)ROME. June 23.

The speed of the lava flow from Etnahas decreased, and some of the rivu-lets have become stationary. The ad-vance during the past fifteen hours hasbeen only at the rate of fifteen metresper hour. At the present rate it wouldtake the lava stream two weeks toreach Lingualoesa. The telegraphic ser-vice has been resumed, new lines hav-ing been laid during the last two days.Civil engineers estimate that the lavahas been strewn over an- area of sixsquare kilometres.

Signor Barbagalda, in charge of theEtna Observatory, was reluctantly com-pelled to abandon his posj;, but suc-ceded in climbing up to the crater twodays ago. He noticed that one of thecones, which has been inactive since1918, was violently eruptive. A sec-tion of the cone had been transformedinto a huge crack incessantly emittingflames fifty metres high.

VIEWS OF EXPERTS.

(Received June 24th. 11.5 p.m.)LONDON. June 24.

A message from Catania to "Lloyd'sNews' 1 states that the lava stoppedwithin a mile of Linguaglossa, wherethe inhabitants are returning and calm-ly resuming their normal life. Duringthe night the picture of the town'spatron saint, Egidio, Jiangs on the fac-ade of the church illuminated by elec-tric light, keeping watch while thepeople sleep.

Experts believe that the eruptionhas now calmed down.

DISMEMBERMENT OF

GERMANY.

FRENCH POLICY EXPOSED.

(Eeceived June 24th, 11.5 p.m.)LONDON, June 24.

The "Observer" gives prominenceto the translation of a secret reportrecently submitted by the French re-presentative in the Ehineland to hisGovernment in Paris. The reportdeals with the separatist morement inthe Ehineland and its leader Dr. Dor-ten. The extracts extend over threecolumns of the "Observer," which, inits introduction, says: "Though thecomplicity of France in the pertina-cious attempts which have been andare being made to detach the Ehine-land from the German Keieh has neverbeen seriously disputed, the documentwhich we print is important, as it isan authentic, detailed account of theFrench action to that end, and theclearest possible exposure of its aimand method."

The report, which is dated April16th, 1923, reveals the hardening dfthe French dismemberment policy afterthe invasion of the Ruhr. The writerfully describes Dr. Dorten's methods ofsecuring the support of the agriculturaldistricts and middle classes, and con-cludes: "Dr. Dorten ha 3 command ofan organisation which will be most use-ful to us in putting things at theirworst. He could provide us with valu-able information both regarding thepeople and the way to treat them."

The writer advises negotiation withDr. Dorten, and suggests that Parisshould minister to his self-esteem.

The Allies held a conference with theTurks lasting for three hours, on thequestion of concessions, without theslightest satisfaction, the Turks per-sisting that their instructions fromAngora prevented the acceptance of anyreference to future negotiations be-tween the concessionaires and TurkishGovernment.

Sir H. Rumbold said the BritishGovernment had received telegramsfrom the five biggest English companiesholding concessions under, contract,stating that they could not reach anyagreement with the Turks, and askingthe British Government to take theirinterests in hand. The companies werethe National Bank of. Turkey, Arm-strong and Vickers, Eastern Telegraph,Smyrna Gas and Borax Mines.

The Allies attempted to obtain anassurance that as soon as the treatywas signed negotiations would be car-

ried out on the basis of protectingEuropean interests in Turkey, butthey met with a flat refusal.

LONDON, June 22.Mr Stanley Baldwin, in an interview

I enjoyed myvisit to Washington so much that I in-tend to return as a private citizen andmake a longer stay. It was like atonic to leave behind the depressed,pessimistic atmosphere of Europe andplunge into a country where tho peopleare still confident in the splendour oftheir destiny and always looking for-ward. What impressed me most wasthe almost oppressive evidence of greatwealth. There is always a danger withsuch vast unexampled wealth going un-checked of a country going rotten withriches.

TALK OF RETALIATION.

(by cABX.E-rnr.ss association- -coiykight.)(UXITED SEF.YICE.)

DELHI, Juno -"J.lii the National Assembly, notice has

been given of several motions for theJuly session, advocating retaliatorymeasures against the Dominions andColonies. As regards the Crown colo-nies, a Madras member is moving thatsteps bo taken to impress upon theBritish Colonial' Office that if Indiansare denied tho right of British citizen-ship and equality of treatment withwhite settlers, tho Indian Governmentwill bo compelled to retaliate and sus-pend further emigration of assistedlabour to any British colony whatso-ever.

The same member is'also moving forthe release of Ghandi and other politi-cal prisoners, and for the removal oftheir disqualification, so thai they canstand for the Legislatures.

Another member's motion is moresweeping still. As retaliatory measures,he wants the Government to legislatethat the conditions of entry for colon-ials to India shall be the same as theconditions Indians are subjected to inthe parts of the Empire from which thecolonials come, and that tho conditionsof domicile and naturalisation shall besimilarly arranged. He also seeks theprohibition of colonials in any officialposition in India, the absolute prohibi-tion of the admission to Indian har-bours of ships owned, by companies reg-istered in the colonies or ships man-ned by colonials, and finally a levy ofdouble Customs duties on all importsfrom other parts of the Empire whererestrictions of any kind are imposedagainst Indians.

The newspapers ridicule these mo-tions, as they are likely to do moreharm than good, by creating a bad im-pression throughout the Empire; butit is noticeable that Indian resentmentis growing about the treatment of In-dians abroad, particularly in Kenya.

CONDITIONS IN BRITAIN.

{BY CABLI-PBUSS ASSOCIATIOH-COPTEIOHT.)AKD K.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION)

(Received June 24, 5.5 p.m.)LONDON, June 23.

The Stock Exchange is under a cloud

which at present shows no silver lin-ing. Numerous adverse circumstanceshwe combined to cause depression, anda feeling of uneasiness, the hrst andforemost being the Ruhr crisis, whilethe new Balkan troubles, the delay in

settling accounts with Turkey, the

slump in Continental exchanges, andthe failure of two financial firms inNew York have all contributed to theheaviness. The prices of many in-

surance, banking, and railway sharesshow decreases. There are no pre-

miums on several recently-iloated is-sues, notably the recent Austrian loan.Early in the week it changed hands at£7 premium, but fell yesterday to £4os premium, owing to determined sell-ing. The collapse of the Germanmark again overshadows everything intue exchange market. Although thedownward movement appears moment-arily to have been arrested, it is diffi-cult to see what can prevent a furtherdecline, for the Reichsbank weekly re-turn shows that the note circulationhas reached the colossal figure of10,905,091 million marks, an increasefor the week of 1596 thousand million,the heaviest ever recorded.

,Commenting on the" state of trade in

Britain, the "Economist" sums up thesituation thus: Production now is at arate approximating the pre-war level.This expansion has been achieved with-out unduly raising prices. It has beenfinanced by the money markets withoutunduly raising rates or compelling em-ployers to sell out securities in whichthey had invested their circulating capi-tal during the depression. Until re-cently the expansion has been continu-ous, but the paralysing effect of theRuhr occupation has at last succeededin balancing the favourable influences,and during recent weeks the absorptionof the unemployed has been checked.Prices have shown a sagging tendency,notably in the iron and steel markets,and, most serious of all, there areporta from many centres of a definiteslowing up in the placing of orders.Many trades are still doing well; forexample, the electrical and motoringindustries, but in the textile industriesthe depression in Lancashire showssigns of spreading to Yorkshire, whencetrade for the moment is going to theContinent, where prices are too low forYorkshire manufacturers to meet.

Dairy Produce.The butter trade continues xuuwtis-

faciory, and though the retail demandnow\is.fairly good, heavy supplies f;omEurope, added to the enormous stocksin cold store, are likely to prevent anyimprovement for some time to come.Indeed, many people consider that hold-ers will be forced to accept reducedprices. Canada is now making a goodquality of butter, of which the bulk isgoing to America, but the Canadiansexpect to ship a considerable amounthere later. Siberia is also producingbutter, and probably will export fairquantities to Britain and America to--wards the end of August, so suppliesfor the autumn seem likely to be plenti-ful.

Fruit.The apple trade has been suffering

a slight set-back owing to the unsatis-factory condition of the Port Camp-bell's cargo, but the demand remainsexcellent, and importers are hopeful

..that the five cargoes still to arrive willrealise about present prices. Undoubt-edly. Australian apple shippers havemuch to thank our inclement climatefor.

SOUTH AFRICAN MAIZE.

DUMPING DUTY.

(ST OASIS—3MM39 ASSOCIATION—COPWaBT.)UVBTB'T TIW AHn K.2. CABLB ASSOCIATION.)

SYDNEY, June 23.A meeting of merchants passed a re-

solution requesting the Prime Ministerto cancel the dumping duty on maize,or exempt contracts already made.

The Graziers' Association has sent aprotest against the duty to Mr AustinChapman, federal Minister of Customs,as it would be prejudicial to stock-owners, the drought not being suffici-ently broken to obviate the necessityof hand-feeding.

Mr Chapman, replying to the pro-test, said that Australian farmers hadbeen placed at a disadvantage owing tocompetition with South African maizegrown by black labour. In conse-quence of freight reduction, it cost lessto ship maize from South Africa toAustralia than to bring local maize tothe market. When relaxing the lawduring the height of the drought, hewarned intending importers that . anyordere placed in South Africa wouldbe at their own risk, especially whenthe operations were of a speculativecharacter. At the time South Africanmaize was being sold locally from 6s6d to 7s a bushel; it was now ss. TheTariff Board advised that South Africanmaize was being dumped to the ex-tent of 3d a bushel, hence the neces-sity for the dumping duty.

SOUTH AMERICAN FRIGO-RIFICO SALE.

NEW MEAT PRESERVINGSYSTEM.

(FROM A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.)

LONDON, May 18.There has been registered at Somerset

House, in London, this month, a com-pany entitled the Endish and .DutchMeat Company. Ltd., having a nominalcapital of £1,200X00. The style of thiscompany does not altogether merit-atethe wide scope of its intended opera-tions, as the name gives no indicationof the fact that it is taking over a bigSouth American frigoni.co. Such, how-ever, is the casa, Mes-rs Vestey Bros.haviiin- disposed of the Las Palmasvorks"of the British and ArgentineHeat Co to the new concern. It Imsbeen remarked as curious by some thatso soon after the purchase of the Bri-tish and Argentine concern by Vcstey's,the big British party should have un-loaded" again «n integral and importantpart of the absorbed business. Any-how, the Las Palmas works, with theireantribution of SGb',ooo mutton and

lamb carcases and 1,135.000 beef quar-ters to the 1922 Argentine output, areevidently considered by Vestey's assuperfluous to their world scheme ofmeat production, and it is to be remem-bered that Vestey's already own in thoSouth American sphere another frigori-fico in the Argentine territory, as wellas a Venezuelan freezing works.Significance of the South American

Deal.The directors of the English and

Dutch Meat Company include, besidestwo Dutch directors, the director of theold British and Agentine Meat Co., andit is stated that an active party in thenew concern is Mr Poels, -who hashitherto acted as selling agent of theSmithfield and Argentine Meat Co.This does not indicate any connexionbetween the new business and the last-mentioned concern. On the contrary,it is possible that Mr Poels may still besevering his connexion entirely withthe Smithfield and Argentine Co. Ob-servers at the other side of the worldmay ask what significance attaches tothis new dealing of the cards at theSouth American end. Possibly, thereis not much of importance in theexchange, beyond the fact that anotherstrong "financial party is introducedamong the contestant meat exportersfrom the Plate, who now represent sev-eral North American, English, Argen-tine, and Dutch interests. Certainly itdoes not look as if the struggle willgrow any less severe, and for this reasonthe news brings nothing cheerful to themeat industry in the Southern Hemi-sphere producing regions.

South African Meat PreservingTrials.

Readers will rfSmember that consider-able interest was aroused in London andelsewhere recently by the announcingof a new meat preserving system, whichwas claimed to hold potentialities likelyto shako old meat transporting methodsto their foundations:, and to create!something like a revolution in the sys-tem of carrying meat from one side ofthe world to the other. The process inquestion hailed from South Africa, fromwhich a small quantity of beef was borneat n, chilling temperature undter ratherrough storage, and exhibited in soundcondition on Smithfield Market. It wasthen recorded in this column that theprocess consisted of the interior treat-ment of meat through the veins bypurging with an innocuous antisepticfluid. A further trial of the system haanow taken place, ten quarters of beefhaving been displayed at the LondonCentral Markets on arriving from SouthAfrica, where they were killed 24 daysprior to their exhibition in London.The results were not altogether suc-cessful, and to this extent interest inthe system has waned, but the lasthas not been heard' yet, evidently, re-garding the process. In the ifirst place,the meat on which the test was madawas of such inferior quality as regardsLondon standards, consisting of whatwere obviously trek oxen instead, of de-contly-bred beasts; there wae not anounce of fat on a single quarter. *ttctthe flesh was muscular and black.Nevertheless, there were no mouldsshowing on the surface, which was some-thing of a triumph after a voyage 41crossthe Equator in a ship's provision cham-ber at only 34 d'eg Fahr. The mostdisappointing point regarding the per-formance of the system w«s that one ofthe quarters was putrid at the centre,with bono taint, which should neverha;ve occurred. However, the system isto bo tested further with home beef,which so often arrives in a bad condi-tion in the summer months on the lonu;railway journey from Scotland, andspecial samples"will be hung in Smith-field for a period, to test the strengthof the new preserving method.

London Meat Quotations^.A leading firm of New Zealand agents

in London, namely, Messrs Gordon,Woodroffe and Co., have performed a.valuable services on behalf of New Zea-land producers in calling attention toa practice in regard to the London quo-tation of frozen meat pricea and the de-fects which attach to the existing sys-tem. The quotations cabled •weekly, pur-porting to be the prices at which frceenmeat is selling at Smithfield, are nolonger much guide to shippers as tothe returns they should expect for theirconsignments, and, in fact ; axe mis-leading, there being relatively littlecomparison between these quotations(winch represent small quantities), andactual prices obtainable ex store or exship. Pre-war, the quotations were tosome extent an indication of what meatwas really worth, and by estimating £dto |d pel 1 lb less, were a means of esrtablisbing an ex-ship value. Circum-stances have, however, entirelychanged, not only in connexion with in-creased charges at every point, includ-ing the enormously increased expensesincurred by selling; off the hooks atSmithfield, but, pro-war nearly allagents or sellers offered •at .practicallythe same prices, there being seldom, ifever, more than l-16d per lb betweentheir quotation for meat of the same d<&-scription and quality. During the lasttwo or three years this has not beenthe case, and it is no infrequent thingto find agents and speculators offeringand selling the same article at a differ-ence of id to Id per lb. Tliis is ac-counted for to some extent by the in-creased number of new firms which havecome into the trade who are handlingdirect or indirect shipments, some ofwhom may possibly not have much ex-perience of the trade. Messrs Gordon,Woodroffe therefore strongly advise allshippers of meat from New Zealand andAustralia, when estimating their prob-able returns for consignments, to dis-

altogether prices quoted aeSmitbiield values, for the above reas-sons, and, further, because every sea-son trade goes more and more pastSmitlifield into the wholesale trade forcountry distribution.

WORLD'S DAIRY MARKET.

POINTS FOR DOMINION

PRODUCERS.

(SPECIAL TO "THE PHE8B")

AUCKLAND, June 24.Some interesting observations on the

d«iry industry were made by Mr W.Garrett, of Auckland, who returned bythe Niagara after a business trip tothe United States, England, and theContinent. The outstanding featuresobserved were the cleanliness of the milksupply in Denmark, and the immensequantity of dairy products used in themanufacture of ice cream in America.

Speaking of the quality of the butterof the different countries marketed inLondon, Mr Garrett said he had an op-portunity of sampling butter from. NewZealand, Australia, Argentine, Den-mark, and Holland, and, to his surprise,from Russia, and as fan as the keepingqualities went, there was nothing tocompare with the Now Zealand pro-duct. Danish butter suited the Eng-lish people, and in this sense the Dsneshad a great advantage, which we couldnot overcome, for if wo made the samekind of butter it would not keep onthe long journey. He was interestedto find in Copenhagen, where the qual-ity of the milk supplied to the cities wasperhaps the highest in tho world, theconsumption was also highest per headof population. Production and distri-bution were carried on under suchhygienic conditions that the standardwas maintained, and lalthough pasterisa-tion was nowr practised, experts hadcarried the perfecting of the system tosuch a stage that they were now look-ing to the time when they would b©able to supply to the consumer withoutpasteurisation. The need for greatercare in the preparation of our productfor oxport was emphasised' by Mr Gar-rett, who said that from informationreceived in London of specific instances,it was imperative that closer attention!wr ould have to be paid to butter andcheese, particularly in regard to. thequestion of moisture in butter and pack-ing of cheese, as it had been found thatsome of the crates were not suitable fortho handling they received.

The lead which Denmark is giving usin the matter of research was anotherpoint which Mr Garrett considered im-portant. He said that the question ofthe establishment of Government orprivate laboratories and the employ-ment of the most highly qualified dairychemists available, was absolutely neces-sary if we were going to maintain theposition we had attained on the world'smarkets. It was not reasonable tothink that we coiil"d continue to relyon outsiders for this informationj aswe had been doing in the past. Littleor no investigation had ever been car-ried out in this country with regard tothe quality of rennet, and if this weredone it was his' opinion that some sur-prising results would be obtained, andthey would, in measure, explain whysome of our cheese had arrived at Homemarkets in an unsatisfactory condition.Mr Garrett added that we had a les-son to learn from Denmark, where scien-tific investigation was am essential partof the industry. He had been told byone of the leading Danish professorsthat New Zealand was the country theyfeared most in competition. It wasnecessary for New Zealand to keeppace, otherwise we would suffer.

NEW ZEALAND APPLES.

THE PAKEHA SHIPMENT.

(raoit on oww coßSßspoiroiirr.)

h LONDON, May 18.Producer* will be gratified to jknow that

still another shipment of apples, that of thoPakeha, _has arrived in quite good condi-tion. There are Tory few Amerioan. applesabout, eo that in this respect the marketis favourable. Both the Armagh shipmentand the Pakeha are now being offered, andprices are keeping up—about 4s—in advanceof Australian fruit. Newtons are bringing15s per case, Oleopatras from 14a to 15b,Cox's from. 16s to 20a, and other varietiesfrom lis to 14s.

It should here be; eaid that the Cox's bythese last two Teasels are not quite up tothe usual New Zealand standard, but theyhave a reputation, and people are willingto 'pay fancy prices for them for the WestEnd trade. As many as 240 are beingcent in a case. These apples are soldper piece and not per pound retail, sothat, the size* i» rather too small to satisfybuyers. The Cleopatras by the Pakeha arein splendid condition; Hoovers are rather onthe immature side with not much colour;Delicious are good; Dunns have carried well/and London Pippins are on the soft side andare showing case bruises.

Brown heart has not developed so farthis year. In view, however, of the opin-ion suggested that the trouble is due tosuffocation it is interesting to note that ina certain box of Delicious a. single applewas found aifected with the disease. Sev-eral others in the same oase were cut openbut were found to be quite sound. In acase of Cleopatras four apples were foundto have brown heart, and the remainderwere all right. The question that Arisesis: If suffocation is the cause of the troublewhy were these isolated apples found inoases of otherwise sound .aj>ples? "Why wasnot the whole case affected?

This coming week-end is "Whitsuntide, andit is quite possible that the holiday demandfor fruit will raise the price by an ap-preciable amount.

REEFTON COAL MINES.

WAITAHU COMPANY.

GREAT HOPE FOR THEFUTURE.

(FROM OUB OWN CORRESPOXDEJiT.)

I/OTDON, May 18.An extraordinary meeting of shareholders

in the Waitohu (New Zealand) Colliery,Ltd., was he'd this afternoon, Mr G. H.Llewellyn, chairman of the company, pre-siding. Owing to the recent issues of theNew Zealand Government and municipalsecurities, the efforts of the directors inplacing debentures of the company have beengreatly handicapped. However good otherindustrial enterprises may be, they cannotexpect satisfactorily to compete with thoseguaranteed by Government and local autho-rities.

It was therefore decided to reorganise thecompany's finances, and ts this end thedirectors entered into negotiations with awell-established financial firm for the pro-vision of the capital necessary to completethe long-awaited transport equipment fromthe mine to the Government line of railway.

The following resolutions were submittedat to-day's meeting:

1. That £1'6,500 of the unissued share capi-tal of the company be issued as 165,000 pre-ferred ordi/iary shares of 2s each.

2. That such issue be on the terms andconditions with the rights, priorities, andprivileges following, namely: fr) The wholeof the profits available for distribution byway of dividend in each year shall be divid-ed "rateably between the holders of such pre-ferred ordinary shares until 100 per cent,in dividends in all has been paid, and there-after sueh shares shall be entitled to 20 percent, non-cumulative dividend in priorityto the ordinary Shares. (b) In the event ofa winding up or reconstruction, the preferredordinary shares shall rank m priority to theordinary shares in any distribution of capi-tal, (c) Such preferred ordinary shaiesshall he offered in the first instance to theexisting shareholders, rateably in proportionto their present holdings.

Tho chairman said that the directorsthought, when the debentures were created,that the position of the company and thegenerous rate of interest which they con-sidered the prospects justified offering, wouldenable them to place the whole of the issuewithout much difficulty, and for a time thoywere fairly successful in placing the deben-tures. During the past( few months, how-ever, the many New Zealand Governmentand municipal guaranteed stocks issuedwhich had been so eagerly taken up byBritish investors, had naturally rendered itincreasingly* difficult fo.- the company's de-bentures to be placed quickly enough tokeep pace with the cost of construction ofthe transport line. Therefore it was neces-sary to seek other means of securing thebalance of the funds needed to bring the en-terprise.—now so near completion—to a suc-cessful issue.

Future Prospects.

Disappointed as they all were with thedelay that had taken place in bringingthe mine to the producing stage—caused bycircumstances and conditions utterly outsidetheir control—the .chairman thought theshareholders would agree that, with theemail capitalisation of only 50,000 (of- whichabout £17,000 had not yet been utilised)the company stood in a very favourable posi-tion in regard to future prospects, llieyhad proved the existence of upwards of2,000,000 tons of coa' in the property, ofwhich about 80,000 tons were immediatelyavailable for delivery to the market as soonas the short connecting line from the prop-erty to the mail line now being constructedwas completed. Owing to the absence ofrail communication from the West Coast tothe East Coast, coal of the quality possessedby the Waitahu mine realised upwards of 70sper ton retail. But basing calculations onthe present wholesale selling- price at themine—22s per ton—and present costs—aboutlis—they would be able without difficultyto obtoiin an excellent return on their capi-tal on an output of only 200 tons per day,although-the equipment wouM be equal todeal with 500 tons or more per day.

Valuable Semi-Bituminous Coal.It would never have' been possible to seoure

the Waitahu property at anything like the(price paid for it had it not been for excep-tional circumstances coupled with the lack,of capital and energy exhibited by theformer owners, who were discouraged bythe appearance of a fault in the coal seamsafter having driven on them in the aditlevels for about 800ft. Subsequent expendi-ture showed that this fau't was not a seriouslone, and the Beams had since been provedby. the company and by the' GovernmentBoring Organisation to live throughout theentire length of the property. Further, theyhad discovered the existence of .other and«qua!ly valuable seams which would, when,developed, add tremendously to the coal reserves. The company owned a coal-bearingproperty of about 276 acres containing semi,bituminous coal of first-class quality, prob-lalbly the best coal of its class in the Dom-inion, and its commercial exploitation to-day was simply a transport scheme whichwould cost little money to complete compar-ed with what had already been spent toprove and develop the mine.

Otlra Tunnel.Competent engineers had estimated that

the quantity of coal existing in the twoproved seams alone would be sufficient foran output of at least 150,000 torts per annumfor twenty or more years. The connectingline could be completed within four or fivemonths at an estimated cost of £BOOO, whenthe company's coal would not only be mark-eted locally at Eeefton, but could be shippedat Greyrnouth and Westport for the NirtaIsland, where there was a large demand iorthis class of „ooal. It could also bo c<.nv«yedby rail through the Otira tunnel to thelarge towns and districts on the east sido ofthe South Island. The completion and' open-ing of this tunnel was one of the most im-portant events in the future commercial de-velopment and prosperity of the South Is-land, and would be a tremendous factor inthe expansion of the coal trade in the Beer-ton district.

Mr Llewellyn explained In detail the re-solutions which were before the meeting-.These -were then put, and carried unani-mously.In reply to a. vote of thanks, the chair-man said he was confident that the newcapital that would now be put up wouldplace the company in. a first class workingfinancial condition!

The 11 o'clock service was well attended.In addition to the usual congregation therewere present the Mayor and a. goodly num-ber of Freemasons. The vicar, Rev. H.Nelson "Wright, pi'eached an inspiring ser-mon from the text, Hahakkuk 2, 20, "Butthe Lord is in His holy temple: let ell theearth keep silence before Him." Thepreacher referred his hearers back to thededication of King Solomon's temple, andfrom that drew a comparison with the dedi-cation of St. John's, pointing out the truemeaning of the building and tEe use of suchto the community.

There was a epeoial service for youngpeople in the afternoon. At the evening Iservice the Ven. Archdeacon Haggitt preach- jed to a large congregation, his text being Ibt. John 1, 26, "There slandeth one among iy°u > whom ye know not." The speaker 'stressed the great amount of carelessnessand Heedlessness among many of the Chris- ;tians of to-day, and urged the need of more 'love and sympathy ,

SPORT IN THE DOMINION.

(moit owß ©ww coßßssromnurr.)

LONDON, May 18.Wiih the foundation of a cable mes-

sage regarding the wapiti which arriv-ed from New Zealand last week, the"Army, Navy, and Air Force Gazette"publishes in the current issue what lagenerally known as a "chatty para-graph" regarding the Dominion.

"One hears very little of what itgoing on in New Zealand, but it isfast getting known as the most settledand in some parts of the Dominion,the most prosperous portion of theEmpire. It was. remarked, and withsome degree of truth, that New Zea-land possesses neither a millionaire nora pauper. Doubt might be cast withrespect to the former statement, butcertainly there is no real poverty. :Atone time sport, as known in the Old'Country, was unobtainable; It was notuntil comparatively recent years thattrout were successfully established inNew Zealand streams. News has justcome to hand from "Wellington that thefirst wapiti ever acclimatised in theSouthern Hemisphere has been shot. Itis interesting to recall that the wapitiwere presented by Mr Theodore Roose-velt in 1908, and now number thous-ands. Canadian moose, another' impor-tation, are increasing rapidly in tnesame district.. So the absence of shoot-ing, which is such an attraction to theaverage Britisher, will not be felt sofar as New Zealand is concerned."

SILVER MINE ROMANCE.

In April, 1919, two prospectors in aworn-out Ford oar were bumping overa Oalifornian road, when one of themhad his hat blown off.

The other got out and former it in asmall hole some prospector had dugyears before.

Looking at the exposed rock, he eaid>:"This looks like silver ore to me," andhe filled the hat with the stuff.

"That's the best hat I hav» got,"observed the owner of the hat. 'Twishyon would use something else for anore-sampling hag. But we'll have itassayed.

Thug (says Renter) was discoveredCalifornia's largest silver mine—theCalifornia Bond at Randsberg. In itsfirst year it yielded more than 1,000,000dollars' worth of silver.-

The instruments of the HamiltonMunicipal Band, which were seized bythe guarantors some time ago, becausesums of £7ll and £OO for interest werestill owing to the vendors, were releasedlast week, as the result of the gener-osity 0{ a local business man who under*took the liability himself. Within afew hours he collected £2BO, eaoh otthe guarantors donating £lO. Thevendors gave £B2 and remitted- theinterest, £9O. If the outstandingamount is not oollected by a certaindate,the business man referred to, who de-sires to remain anonymous, promises topay the balance due. It is understodthat the band will be reorganised andwill be renamed the Hamilton CityBand.

LONDON, May 18.Although only two not very long

t€rs .are devoted to NewSnd in the N'orthcliffe Diary,. jo certain that tlie Domin-•* will receive one of its greatest ad-'"rtisenients through the publication of]l. volume. AH the reviewers have

ted extensively from these chapters;f publishers' Circular devotes al-

i ' :t a column to the late Lord North-life's experiences in Rotorua. How-

sunerlicial the traveller's impres-'■'„j of the rest of the Dominion are,has certainly done justice to the

'hernial district of the Norfn Island.'■On the whole," he writes, "I consider, , j{otorua is the most interesting!ace for a holiday, other .than London

Paris, that I know of. Withinreach of this hotel there is the

'est'fishing i" tlie world, and excel-\L deer stalking. There is a greatlortunity here for botanists andSure observers. Ihere are deer,rtsbits duck, teal in myriads, and wild" ' When 1 6ay that the localJnjlcrs measure their annual catch byae ton per man 1 am not exaggerating

"ejly journey Round the World,"Jted by the writer's brothers, Mrn,jl Harmsworth and Mr St. Johnjtomsvrartlr, is not a diary of studied

stile. « moTe> intimate, more typi-i 0 f the man in his private capacity,jjd not as a journalist. Lord North-dijfs's habit, it is pointed out in an in-iioduction, was to dictate his observa-tions to one or other of the private sec-taries who accompanied him on histravels, and to send sections home to beduplicated and circulated to the meni-

kra of his immediate family circlo."The reader will observe that in theionrse of the diary Lord Northcliffedirells more than once on the difßcul-fesand disabilities under which it wasapposed. It was dictated in sultrytabias on board ship in the tropics, andii'snch moments of leisure on shore aspresented themselves, in the midst ofluniberless distractions, and not, there-|oie under conditions that most favour-ably conduce to exactness in literaryiijleor form.'•'ltmay be frankly asserted that thertrk is all the better for that. Weget all the information that bis encyclo-pedic brain was capable of withouti» necessity of having the moral point-ed., Two great questions Lord North-

'diffe treated from the journalistic pointif lien-—the emptiness of Australiaaid'the Japanese aggressiveness Onfeird. the s.s. St. Albans, in thefiat.'. Indies, the traveller meti' .compatriot engaged in going'•ipaad the world. "He hates thejWa : journey just as much as«/• littlo party delight in it.;&;;'■ has seen very little. Henther likes the New Zealanders, de-igts-the Australians, is not interested

kibe. Japanese question, does not be-fereit possible that another war shouldkin preparation, and is counting thetors.to the moment he arrives atkne." Lord Northcliffe was just thetpposite from this type of tourist. Hejujooking for everything of interest«d,inissed nothing. He snowed a boy-.aenthusiasm for all tho delightful•anngs 'of tho tour. His information isSfealttrays accurate, it but that

lie "put down to the misstatementstfMs informants.

i;v First Impressions.A"I:shall never forget that first motor&« in New Zealand," wrote Lordtforthcliffe. "The roads in this part offtif Zealand are frankly infernal. Iaiftoia that in the South Island they'ife''gdod. At the golf club there arebaddies. In fact, I hear that thereire no caddies in New Zealand. Nowis out of work. The courses are.fettrv-'flat inland golf courses, coveredifHa"sheep, and so rich is the soil in-plices- that eight hundred sheep can;fSf .on a hundred acres. There is no!*sfe here at Auckland'; the peopleiffcEnglish, and in some parts broadWitch is still spoken. . . When youlook at a Canadian audience, it is diffi-sJt;to say whether it is or is not■iieriean. When you look at an Auck-ludaudience there is no mistake aboutfe It is English.''

;;;'The whole diary is so disjointed thattfMries of extracts from the New Zea-land chapters will not appear muchmore disjointed than a continuous ex-tort.

Too Much to Eat.;!Th»n, in a nice open-air pavilion, a

going to golf I visited theGwernment Farm, where they have anayenue of New Zealand trees planted by"Mitors. They asked me to plant a treer-fte rarest they have, the CabbageT«s (Cordyline australis).

Ther.anuow trout going up the little riversncre (winch form the big lake) on theirto spawn were in such quantitiesthat as we went up in a boat we literal-ly forced our way through them. Therainbow is one of the quickest fish, butthe throng was so dense in places thatthey could not get awav from eachother. It was an inconceivably beau-tiful river, very like a winding Hamp-shire stream, but with mimosa, palms,and all sorts of unfamiliar >'ew Zea-land trees on the banks. It was even-ing, and an English blackbird was sit-ting up high in a mimosa tree singinghis evening song. There is a gooddeal of bird life here. Wild duck arein great numbers.

Itis like Niagara—it grows upon one.ior a pound a year you can have deer-stalking (li\'e stags per gun), and foranother pound you can have iisliing,better than any in the world, all overNew Zealand. There are no game lawshere; everybody shoots o\er every-body's land, and, as for rabbit shoot-ing, farmers pay you to come and shootthem. With regard to deer, they aregetting so numerous that two thousandhave had to be slaughtered in one dis-trict alone this year. iNo wonder theseyoung people are very different fromthe peasants of Esse.\ and Wiltshire.Their attitude is more like that ofScotch people ('but with no respect forthe lairu;. They are independent butpolite. I am all the time trying todetect whether they are developing anaccent. I find that eome of them say'veree' for 'very' and 'Sydnee' for'Sydney.' New Zealand is the land ofBritish family mysteries. On occasionsheirs to titles and fortunes havebeen unearthed here. But theNew Zealanders certainly don't liketitles. I should think, first, becausein the mind of each of them is the de-sire for a Utopia—a land of equality,and, secondly, because they have hadsome very bad specimens of titled peo-ple here. Even now each town has itslittle coterie of weil-Dorn remittancemen —those who live upoa doles fromEngland."

Auckland's Treasures.Even to the last mmute of sailing

from Auckland, Lord Northcliffe seemsto have wasted no time. Ho justmakes a brief observation regardinghis last public engagement whichshould be quoted.

"On the morning of sailing away,the Mayor, and a number of _ otherpeople, came at a quarter to nine totake me to see their art gallery andcollection of early manuscripts and

:books. When a rich Auckland man d!sshe seems to give something to the city,and they have a very much better col-lection than they know, especially ofearly English missals. There are fourCaxtons, Shakespeare folios, and price-less documents referring to the earlyhistorj of New Zealand. There aresome wonderful Maori pictures, too."

As he nears Marseilles on a sea likea Hampstead pond, he speaks of him-sef as "a former fat man, now in skele-ton class, who, beginning like as a re-porter ot sixteen, is now said to havemore papers than he can count andmore money than brains. Is finishing awhirl round the world, and ready foranother to-mororw."

The last two paragraphs of the diary

are important, for they have a veryhuman touch. "I have further resolvedthat I was not built for any kind ofpublic life, and that I hate crowds, de-monstration, ceremonial, and curiouslyenough, although I am one myself, re-porters. Let me finish by saying thatmy chief companion, Pnoleau, and I,went round the world together with-out a cross word. It says a great deadfor Prioleau."

OBITUARY.Mr James Grant, who died at Hawera

a few days ago, aged 65 years, was a,

well-known breeder of Clydesdales, anaa keen judge of that class of horse,having acted as judge at agriculturalshows throughout the Dominion. MrGrant had also acted as judge of High-land dancing and music. He was tormany years associated with the EgmontAgricultural and Pastoral Association.

BRITISH EMPIREEXHIBITION.

THE DOMINIONS' AGREE-

MENT.

SIR JAMES ALLEN'S FIRMSTAND.

t?EOH OUR OWN COBRZSPOSDENT.)

LONDON, May 18.To-morrow, Sir James Allen informs

me, the agreement between the EmpireExhibition authorities and the Domin-ions will probably be signed. Owiugto the High Commissioner's firmness iuregard to the division of profits, nego-tiations have ben somewhat protracted.But Sir James advised all Dominionrepresentatives not to sign nay con-tracts for the erection of buildingsuntil the agreement had been drawn updefinitely and satisfactorily. With theexception of the representative forIndia, all fell into line in this respect.

It will be remembered that the Ex-hibition authorities offered 50 per cent,of the profits to the Dominions withouttaking into consideration the assets.This was not definite enough, and SirJames has pursued the subject assidu-ously until now he seems to have doneexceedingly well for the Dominions.The first suggestion was that the valueof the standing buildings should betaken into account when assessing theprofits, and while tho British sectionshould lake the buildings and propertythe Dominions should have the cash.Against this there was a promise givenby-the Exhibition promoters v that cer-tain Associations should receive 50 percent, of money that was received forspace.

It is now decided that before anycash is made available, if there is anycash remaining, the Dominions and De-pendencies all receive the amount theyhave expended for "common service."This includes the drainage, water, elec-tricity, and gas connexions between themains and the buildings. There areother "common services" which havenot yet been defined, such as upkeepof gardens and outside lighting, andfurther investigation will bo made re-garding these.

After the necessary amounts for theseservices have been allocated, the Do-minions and the British section shareequally, the latter liquidating their re-sponsibilities to the various Associa-tions with whom they have enteredinto an agreement up to a maximumof £250,000. That is to say, if thereis £200,000 available, the Dominionswill get £IOO,OOO and the British£IOO,OOO, the latter amount going toliquidate the responsibilities. If thereis £500,000 available each will get£250,000, but if there is more bothparties will still get only the £250,000at this stage.

If there is any cash still availableafter this stage is reached it will goto the Dominions up to a maximum of£400,000, and any exceeding this£400,000. wil be retained by the Homeauthorities. Thus it will be seen thatthe Dominions have been amply pro-tected.

The agreement was drafted by SirJames Allen and Sir James Stevenson.It was then taken in hand by the legaladvisers, and, according to word re-ceived, it will be in the hands of theHigh Commissioner immediately.

HONOUR TO ANZACS.

WREATH MADE OF SHIPS'CHARTS.

(fkoji otjb. own correspondent.)

LONDON, May 18.A few days ago some twenty-Jive Aus-

tralians and half-a-dozen New Zealand-ers met in Whitehall to lay a wreathon the Cenotaph. The ceremony was

the sequel of what took place on theP. and O. liner Berrima, on its voyageup the West Coast of Africa. AnznoDay was observed as a. "holy dny," andtlio South African passengers on boardvery considerately fell into lino withAustralians and "New Zealanders. Animpressive service was conducted by theRev. 11. L. Blamires (Chaplain-Major,N.Z.E F.J, and it was decided that awreath should bo laid at the foot ofthe Cenotaph when tho Berrima arrived 1in London.

Tho chief officer of the vessel sug-gested and produced l something uniquefor the wreath, which was made onboard. Old ships' charts were paintedfrreen, and from were cit imita-tion laurel leaves, which were made ripinto garlands *ind woven to form thowreath. On a black centre in gilt let-tering was the word1 "Anzac," and alarge bow was made of tho same mate-rial as the leaves. The floral tributewas placed on tho Cenotaph by MrsBlamires and Mrs McKay, wife of Gen-eral McKay, of the Australian Forces,and those who were present observedthe two minutes' silence. In additionto Mr and Mrs Blamires other New Z'a-landers who had been passengers by theBerrima .and who took part in the oero-mpny were Mr M. F. Marks (late Gov-ernment Printer), Miss F. Marks, andMiss Sybil) Lyons.

PHYSICAL TRAINING.

SIR JAMES ALLEN'S INTEREST.

(feoii otra owj cobreseokdznt.)

LONDON, May 18.Last Saturday evening Sir James

Allen presided at the annual display ofthe Incorporated British Association forPhysical Training, held at the North-ampton Polytechnic Institute, Clerken-well. The High Commissioner wasgreatly interested in the m-'thods ofphysical training employed by this im-portant institution, winch has manybraucnes throughout the country, .hia few opening remarks he said thatpeople m -New Zealand took a verygreat interest in the training of theiryouths and giris, and were grateful tothe Motnenaiid which supplied themfrom time to time with teachers whohelped them with their schemes.

"in my opinion," he said, "it is agood thing that our young people andmiddle-aged people should give them-selves to physical training scnemes. InNew Zealand, as a result of the war,our experience was that a great num-ber of our young men who ought tohave been fit for military service werenot. On examination we found thatone reason, at any rate, why they werenot fit was because of neglect in tlieirboyhood and their young days m doingwhat vou are doing this evening. Theyneglected to remove defects that couldhave been removed by physical train-ing.'

Sir James went on to explain theworkings of the CI camp in New Zea-land during the war. Out of 7178 mennot passed by the doctors for active ser-vice, but who might improve tindertraining, 3528 became fit to be sentoverseas, and from this total pnly 330were discharged as unfit, a percentagenot higher than that found among themen who had been passed originally bythe doctors. Even in a young countrylike New Zealand the percentage of un-fit was surprisingly high, and therewas no doubt that" organised trainingsuch as he saw demonstrated that nightwas necessary.

POLITICAL ADVENTURE.

MR HEARST'S EXPERIENCES INAMERICA.

Even if we recall some of the inci-

dents in the relations between the lateLord Northcliffe and one or two Minis-ters, it would be difficult to find inGreat Britain any true parallel for the

political adventures of Mr Hearst, whohas just roused even the mild Mr Hard-

ing to a telling outburst. In the lasttwenty years the history of Mr Hearst'sfriendships and Mr Hearst's quarrelswould fill volumes. There was the fam-ous affair of Boss Murphy. In IvOk,Boas Murphy renominated Mr Hearstfor Congress. In 1905, says a corres-pondent of the Manchester -Guardian,"Mr Hearst assailed"Murphy m languageworthy of ltoosevelt himseif. "Murphy,the most hungry, selfish, and extor-tionate Boss Tammany has ever known,is fighting for his life and for hisplunder." "Murphy should be in Singtiing wearing stripes instead of at Del-momco's." But in 1906 Mr Hearstmade terms with the Boss and got thenomination for Democratic Governor ofNew York.

Then there were Mr Hearst's rela-tions with Roosevelt. Roosevelt madecertain charges against those whom lieaccused of stirring up the feelings whichled to McKinley's murder, and Mr Hootunderlined Roosevelt by saying, onRoosevelt's authority, that the Presi-dent had Mr Hearst "specifically inmind. And I say, hy his authority,that what he thought of Mr Hearstthen he thinks now." A year or twolater Mr Hearst was calling on Roose-velt at White House. In 1910 he calledon Roosevelt to "take the warpathagainst the bosses," and Roosevelt re-plied that he was coming back "as men-tioned by Mr Hearst." More recentlyMr Hearst has supported certain of theHarding policies. Now another of thesetidal waves seems to have passed overtheir partial alliance.

CORRESPONDENCE.SCOTLAND AND THE SCOT.

TO THK EIUTOK OF "THE PRESS."Sir.—Your correspondent "Scotland

Yet'js interesting. It is doubtful if"Taty Pasty'' helps his side in specify-ing Devonshire and Cornwall. Hisstiitomeiit shows that the Celt was,and is, the dominating factor m Km-pire-buiiding. The people of thesetwo counties are kindred of the "Welsh',Irish, and Scotch.

"Englishman" considers Mr Thomas'srcmarKs are insulting. I take it thatthere was no insult intended. Thogathering was, practically, a Scotchaii'air. The word ■'sassenach/' towhich, principally, exception was taken,is Gaelic, in j-juglish it means foreigner.

''All british'" says "it pays to adver-tise,'' inferring that the Scotch are notlacking in this quality. ''Porridge" isadvised "to read with a broader out-look.'' ] ran understand tiic Anglo-S;.xon Englishman, with his boastednumbers, growing furious, when a Celtdares to claim credit as a pioneer. Itis doubtiul, to any student of history,if a British Empire could come aboutif the Celtic element were lacking.This element, though small, numeri-cally, is the driving force—the real lireforce in the community. The identityof Scotch, Irish and Welshmen is toooften hidden in the word British, whichis almost universally taken to meanEnglish.—Yours, etc.,

IRISH.

SCOTLAND YET.__

TO THE EDITOR OF "THE PRESS."-

Sir,—l have read all that "TatyPasty," "All British," "Englishman,"and "Unity" have had to say. Poor,dear, serious souls! My revjly to "AllBritish" is: When you've got ttiegoods, advertise them. To "English-man." : There was such an element ofluck about the business, providence,and that sort of thuig that there reallywasn't much to boast about. Copen-hagen and the blind eye to the tele-scope, and a flouted command; thebooks at school told us: "Had it notrained, on the night before W'aterioothe future of Europe would have beenchanged." Then, again, the "lucky"presence of mind of the Highlanderwho answered the sentry of Montcalmon the heights of Abraham enabledWolfe to gain the summit. Next dayMontcalm lost his last fight and Canadato the thin red-kilted line. "English-man" knows that England has doneprecious little to boast of without thehelp of the other follow. "Unity" hasdelved into history. When he goesback to Cook, Raleigh, Drake, andHawkins, lie goes to the time when itwas practically England for tbe Eng-lish. Why iiot go back to Glencoe,Boadicea, Preston Pans, and that time?Why, the Picts and Scots were so farahead of the Southrons that Hadrian(wasn't it?) built a wall across thecountry to keep the Scots out. Thequestion is: Could England Eave car-ried on, would she have extended her.wide-flung Empire as it is, without theScots? Who won and opened upCanada; what of Lucknovr in India;what of South Africa? Captain Scottwas a border Sept. J said before thatthe North of Ireland was Scots. Goback to the time of Columcille on lonato learn that. "Unity" speaks of tbfegreat war. Who was Haig, if hewasn't Scots? What of lan Hamiltonand Admiral BeaTEy? Was Lord Rob-erts an Englishman? Were HectorMacDonald and Gordon of Khartoum?"Unity" can please himself as to whatche armies are composed of. Who ledtneni? . Who were the strategists? AndGallipoli! It would be interesting toknow the proportion of Scots-bloodedmen among the Anzacs. But that istalking in generalities. All parts of.the Empire did their duty—and well,"but tho highest commands were licitheld by Englishmen. "Taty Pasty,"too, goes back to the dawn. The bigexpansive work of Empiro and its ad-ministration didn't begin till well afterthe game of bowls at Plymouth. Ofcourse, there .are z-epreaentatives ofGreat Britain as colonists all over theworld, but the Scots have led them nl\.Can "Taty Pasty" mention ten famousEnglishmen for every fifteen Scots inthe hisfc hundred years in science, in-dustry, war, education, and so on? Itis absurd to suggest that letters in thePress tend to divide this community.Sir Thomas's assertion was no more m-Milting than others one bears about theScot. Anyway, the truth hurts tothose who imagine that the monocledEnglishman, as one knows him to-day.has strutted through history, all-con-quering and the lord of creation. Cros-Innd didn't write his thoughts for no-thing. There is too much Englishand not enough British. Don't forgetthe Irish and Scots for services ' ren-dered. The fact of the matter is thafidie Scot has become part and parcelof the Empire: }.-m ideas, and idealspermeate the British Isles, and theEnglishman hates to think of this pro-cess of assimilation. You know, theEnglishman oneo had a fair rating—hewas big guns—but he has been foundout.—Yours, etc.,

ACCESS TO KAIKOURA.TO THE EDITOa OF "THE PBESS."

Sir,—To get into and out of Kai-koura county is a problem exercisingtho minds of its residents. Knowingthe interest you take in the develop-ment of. the country districts, I cravespace in your columns to ventilate thissuuject. 1 motored thrt/ugh fromCnristchuxch to ixaikoura on Tuesdaylast, and kuow ail about the conditionof the east coast route. The journeyis pieasaut enough till you reaenabout two miies north of 'lipapa, whenyou find a bridge out of commission,which forces the car to, first, go ahead,down, tneii astern lor a thrillingtune, then aiieati, with a lauding intothe bed of the gully; a liver-snakingrun, with an onward and upward rusiito reach the higher levels. -At Fos-ter's cutting you find the. bridge gone,when you net more thrills. GretaCreek you "cross two or three timesright down in the bowels of the ravine.Tlie Conway yon- cross three, times,having to negotiate a wide expanse ofwater with a plentiful supply of largeboulders. The crossing below the de-molished bridge is an exceedingly badone. There is a great deal of deadwater just where the north entranceto the ford is. It is too near thejunction of the Hundalee Creek withthe Conway, whereas a good and hardford ii to be fovmd about two hundredyards lower down, with a good road tothe same. . The road right through theHundalee country is scailoped along itsedges through the lccse stuff havingslipped oft' the steep hillsides, leavingthe road exceedingly dangerous. Thereis plenty more loose stuff to come downwith the next rainiail, and I notice inone place quite a number of pine treesjust holding en, ready for the first stiffbreeze to topple over. At the Oaroyou must take the ford, also at (JooseBay, where there is an exceedingly badhole. After passing all these difficul-ties, you have a lively remembrance ofhaving to carry two heavy suit-casesov?r ihe Wniau breach, making twotrips. Just here. I would like to cau-tion travellers to beware of taking trainfrom Cbristchurch to Spctswood. Ifthey do, they will have to walk fromthere to "Waiau bridge, and carry theirlavage, a distance of one and "a halfmiles. That is the experience ofmany.

Alter a good run up the coast to theKahutara we left the car, and walkedacross the bridge as far as the breachleam'ng it to make a dash across theloose shingle.

We received a nasty jar when welooked, down some fifteen feet of sheer

drop on to the bed of the river. Theonly means to make the descent was bytwisting your body over the projectingdecking of the bridge, wriggling yourlower chest ov«r a 12 x 12 inchstringer, and feeling with your feet fora stay, set at an angle of 75 degrees.Now, this is perhaps feasible lor long-legged men, but not for men ofmedium, rotund, or portly build. Wehad amongst us Mr Wyvern Wilson,our Stipendiary Magistrate, and twolegal gentlemen, all bound for Kai-koura, to unravel tangled skeins on themorrow. The long-legged lawyer man-aged the stunt successfully. I. had ashot, but could feel no stay to lodgemy feet unon. Having always believ-ed that it is wise to "hold on to theoJd love -until you feel sure of the new,

I clung to the 12 x la, and did a lotof quick thinking. "You old fool!though I, you are much nearer 70 than60; you know that you can swim, andthat you can't fly," so I scrambled onto the bridge again, resolved to wadeor swim the river instead of returningsome eight miles to shelter. Howeiver,a good Samaritan appeared in a car,accompanied by a lady and gentleman.Mr Macfarlane, of Hawkeswood, was.tho Samaritan, and he had the goodfortune, or, rather good sense, to haveprovided himself with a long stoutrope, which he made fast to' the' hand-rail. ,His Worship disappeared fromview clinging to the rope. The short,legal gentleman followed, clinging, andI also, "under the bottom," as it were.Then the lady, who very pluckily per-formed the feat with -the grace andnonchalence of a real sportswoman.Mr Macfarlane and his friend reachedbottom safely.. Then we had to climb,at a very steep angle, up to the top ofthe still "standing bridge.

Now, sir, we haive a very reasonablegrudge against, first, the Public WorksDepartment; secondly, against the Ivai-koura County Council; and, thirdly,against the motor company for not pro-viding a most simple remedy for allthis trouble—a twenty-foot ladder-Arriving, as we did, at dusk, it was aperilous thing to be asked to do, andhad we been delayed a quarter of anhour, quite impossible. Surely thounited brains of the aforementioned arecapable of providing something betterthan what we found. Who is respon-sible for s*ic'ii gross carelessness? Doe3tho Publij Works Department controltin road or the County Council? Areths officers of the Public Works Depart-ment in charge qualified civil engineersor oifice officialsY These are questionswe residents are entitled to have an-swered. lam absolutely certain thatthe coast route will be impracticableafter rain, for it cannot be linked up.We must find a better route, and thatwe can find in the Kaikoura-Waiauroad. With the Whalesback metalled,and a few slips cleared away, this roadcan be easily linked up. At everyford assistance with horses is almostwithin call, whilst on the coast roadthere is none within many miles. Wemust see to it that our stock may begot away, that our fish and cream shallnob be held up, and that the 2400people of Kaikoura coiyity shall not beisolated.—Yours, etc.,

TRAMWAY MATTERS.TO THE EDITOR OF "THE i'BESS."

Sir,—Judging by what is appearingin ''The Press" on tramway mattersit is evident that it is time that thecentral area sat up and began to takenotice. Propositions for new, unpro-fitable lines are being pushed forwardby members of the Board representingoutside districts. There is already atthe end of nearly every line a sectionwhich does riot pay running expenses,much less interest and depreciation;to add other extension*, winch cannot,pay ior nine years, until settlement hascaught up with the present unpayinirlines, only means that those living inthe central area will have to nay moreeven as they already have had to do'The raising of the Id fare -to 2d savedthe Board from a deficiency; but it wasalmost entirely contributed by the Cen-tral area.

It is to be hoped that the five mem-ber representing the central areas wijlresolutely oppose any more extensionsuntil those already mads can show thatthey are nearly paying their way.

The letters re bovs from Sumnerstanding owing to full cars call atten-tion to the fact that these boys arecarried at about one-half what it coststo convey them from seaside to city.Their parents, using concession tickets,barely pay their own cost of transit, sothat a family with, saVj three or four

boys and girls attending school, in thecity from Surnner, is a considerableloss to the Tramway Board. Such losshas to be made up by the central area.These boys and girls all pass severalgood schools, which it would be far bet-ter for themselves and for the schoolsif they attended. 1 see no reason whycentral area should have to put hishand in his pocket to provide cheapfares for these boys and girls. If thosenot having proficiency certificates wereexcluded from the cheap school ticketsthere would be room in the cars forthe remainder who attend secondaryor technical schools in Christchurch,also fpr the men who now have tostand. I -see no reason why the pre-sent altogether too-cheap school tic-kets should be continued, and the cityschools be overcrowded by Sumner, Not

and Riccarton boys ahd girls.—Yours, etc.,

An enquiry was also held into theallegation that Barrier's jockey, H.Goldfinch, in the Hawko's Bay JockeyClub's Final Handicap, handled hismount in an improper manner, it wasdecided there was no justification tortheallegation.

The Foxton trainer A. M. Wrighthas had a profitable visit to HawkesBay with Nukumai, Firat Line, andOtauru Kid. Tho first-named was easilytho best performer with his three firstsand a second in four starts, but lirstLine did mt disgrace himself by any

means his record for his three starts•reading one first, ono second, and onethird. Otauru Kid commenced well bya Rood second to Complex at Napier,tut afterwards performed rather dis-appointingly.

Aa could only be anticipated, thehunters' events at Hastings on Satur-day were most disappointing, -with onlytwo starters in one race, three in an-other, and only two out five finishing ina third. The Soutra Hunters' Flat pro-vided a fair field, but the two hackevents, the Apley Hack Hurdles, andthe Horonui Hack Handicap, reallyoaved the situation.

Ramanuwhiri, who scored in whatmust be considered the principal eventof the day at Hastings, on Saturday,ja proving a profitable investment forthe veteran Hawke's Bay trainer StuartWaddoll. Since acquiring the ageddaughter of King's Guest, she has■tarted four times for t,wo firsts, onesecond, and one unplaced performance,when she fell.

Tea Tana, who defeated a useful fieldin the Apley Hack Hurdles, is a four-year-old half-brother by MountainKnight to Maioha. Until recently hewas owned by the executors of theestate of tho late W. J. Douglas, forwhom he was showing promising formin hurdle races. He has raced fairlywell for lis new owner, Mr O. Hal-dene, at the Hawke's Bay circuit, twofirsts and a second in four starts be-ing his record. He has not stayed anytoo well in the past, but in mile anda-half hurdle races should be a payableproposition.

Kingly has shown pace in most of hisraces recently, hut has failed to runon. He improved in this respect onSaturday, favoured by the minimumimpost in the Horonyi Hack Handicap.He ia a five-year-old gelding by OurKing from Lady Ainslie, Saturday'srace being the best effort of his career.

A Worth Island writer states thatWhizz Bang has been doing a thoroughpreparation' for jumping events underA. Atwood's care at Feilding. Heclaims engagements at Dannevirke this-week, but is also nominated for theWellington Meeting. Whizz Bang was

• thought to be likely to develop intosomething above the average as a Jump-er, but so far be has not achievedfame. However, he is in the right handsif he is aa good 'as ho was thought tohe.

Gladfu! Las had a comparatively easytime since returning from .Dunedin. Itis understood that his connexions areto make an attempt at winning a thirdGrand National Hurdles in succession■with the old Birkenhead gelding. WithVagabond and Gladful, Mr Kemballshould certainly win some of the prizemoney, though many racing folk willfavour the younger horse.

■' listowel has been schooled over thepony hurdles, showing surprising apti-tude. There is nothing- definite decidedwhether he will be raced over hurdlesor not, probably his trainer being incommunication with Mr C. M. Currie—-now in Australia—on the matter. Notmany Absurds hare been tried overhurdles, but Wamba has been a win-ner. He is a good jumper, but verydeficient in stamina.

The Comedy King colt King Carnivalwas taken to one of the minor meet-ings in Melbourne recently just for an.outing. It is stated that he attractedmuch attention in tho birdcage, andthat he has filled out nicely and growna trifle since he last raced. Despite hisdefeats in the Autumn, he seems nearlysure to be the early favourite for theDerbies in New South Wales and Vic-toria.

In Iroland recently an owner com-plained about the handicapping of hishorses, writes "Pilot." While admit-ting that he had just grounds for hisenquiry, the stewards of the Irish Na-tional Hunt Steeplechase Committeeexpressed the opinion that a handicap-per, in making his handicaps, was notbound to accept as correct the formof a horse in any particular race. Thatidea is correct, too. For instance, ifa handicapper notices that a horse'might hare won but for meeting withmore than its share of bad luck, hewould be unwise to make tho sameconcession for defeat as to Bome otherhorses beaten in the same race. Ofcourse, there is nearly sure to be ahowl from tho owner affected—eventhough he may reckon he should havewon—but a handicapper has his ownreoutation to consider. He cannotafford to weight a horso in a fashionjiiat, because of its previous bad luck,seemingly make 3 it a present of a, race.

The pacer Escort, who was recentlysold at a substantial figure, is to beshipped to Sydney this week, and infuture will be trained bv P. Ei«dle.

Mr M. O'Brien has purchased thetrotting celding, Kean John from theex-Austrian trainer, W. J. Tomkm-son, who will continue to train the sonof First Voyage, for future racing.

GRAND THEATRE.

"DE LUXE ANNIE."

"THE SONG OF THE WAGE SLAVE."

The Grand Theatre is nofed for its big at-tractions. Week after week, and especiallyduring the laßt few months, tho best filmswhich hiTe come to the Dominion aro fea-tured in the programmes of this cosy placeof amusement, and this week's offering isproving no exception to that which has be-come the rule. The orchestral selections, be-sides the fihus which are being submitted,ere extremely pleasing and, taken' in all, theprogramme which was presented for tho firattime on Saturday, and will continue through-out the weckj is one for which it would bsextremely difficult to find <in equal.

The big attraction is "De Luxe Annie," fea-turing Norma Talmadgo and Eugene O'Brien,together with an all-fctar cast. It is a film■which is more than merely entertaining. Itholds one's interest in a manner which wouldsurprise even the most blase, and as a pre-sentation of melodrama it certainly could notbe excelled. Somehow or other there is acertain sameness about motion pictures, what-ever their them© might be—whetheil they aradepictions of plots .*ind plays of -.resent orpast periods. "De Luxe Annie" can claim tobe the esception. It ha 3 not that "same-ness," and it can be likened to a refresh'nsrnovel—it takes one out of one's self. Skilland good tasto are found in ila settings.Miss Norma Talmadgo lias a host of adnrr-ers, but when she starred in "Do I/uxoAnnie" ehe certainly paved theway to havingthe majority oJ film levers as her ardent sup-porters. She had n. role which in itself isextremely difficult, but these obstacles seemto but afford her extra opportun ties to de-light her public. Her role ra that of a beau-tiful young wife and mother whose husbandis interested in the psychological study ofcrooks and confidence women. By a queenturn of fate liis own wife becomes one oftheee, and in 60 doing affords Miss Talmadgean opportunity for one of tho best pieces ofcharacter work in her oiret-r. EugeneO'Brien, who plays opposite Mis.3 Talmadgo,13 well known'to screen patrons, ond his de-served popularity suffcra no decline throughhis splendid acting- in his present film.

A Metro production, "The Song of theWage Slave," ia shov.-n in support. It fea-tures Edmund Breeze, who is not so wellknown to tho public as he ought to be, judg-ing from his splendid work in the above-named film. The story is adapted fromRobert W. Service's famous poem of iden-tical title, and portrays faithfully all that thepoet intended to convey. The production isbevona> reproach There is also u gocd pro-gramme of supports.

QUEEN'S THEATRE.

TO-DAY'S CHANGE.

"What; is claimed to bo one of the bestprogrammes shown here will be presented at

the Queen's Theatre- commencing to-day. Thebig feature is a Fox production entitled -'TheFootlight Banger,' starring Charles Jones.The story of this picture contains a great

deal of comedy with a back-ground of dram-atic action and romantic adventure. ahathread of human interest has been care-fully preserved. The direction and photo-graphy were watched in every detail. Thaacting of the principals, in fact the entirecost, reaches the high standard that Foxproductions habitually attain. ChariesJones' performance in his many past suc-cesses seems to point toward another screenachievement when "'.The Footiigflt Hanger"is shown. The producer states that Joneshas been given a vehiclo different from hisusual character portrayal, anj that there isa surprise at the finish, which lifts the pic-ture far above the ordinary photoplay.

Tho second attraction is ''Little /MissSmiles," starring Shirley Mason. It is ahighly interesting play set in the east sideof New York. In this feature Miss Masonhas the part in which she excels, that of ayoung girl who smiles through troubles andtriumphs. The shorter subjects are a Sun-shine comedy, "Thro' the Keyhole," and thelatest Fox News.

EVERYBODY'S THEATRE.

"THE TOT7NG .RAJAH." STASHINGEODOLPH VALENTINO.

"THE TOP OF NEW YORK," STARRINGMAY McAVOY,

Ihe diy is oiion big with accomplish-ments in motion pictures. For example,Philip Rosen, directing Eodolph Valentinoia "The Young Rajah," mobilised an armyoi several hundred extra men, dressed themin the costurne9 of ancient warriors of Hindumythology, took them out to a mountainlocation near Chat-worth, California, and inone day drilled them for battle and stageda mammoth battle Bpcctacle, which servesao a. colourful vision episode in the picture

which will be shown at Everybody's Theatrethis week, commcucicg at the matinee to-day.

The scones are fantastic in the extreme,and represented the legend of the battle 01

the Ariuna, the mortal brother oi Krishna,the Hindu God of Love, with earthly influ-ences. His battle is against his father andbi others, who are tyrants over the peopleand even eeok to slay Arjuna, righteousltader of his reople. Inspired by Krishna,however, Arjuna slays his kinsmen and putshis hordes to rout, then receives as a re-ward from Krishna tho divine gift of a fore-telling the future. Amos Judd. the modernhero of tho story, is supposedly a desecendantof Arjuna, and possesses that Bame gift.Xiio visionarv legend ia introduced to bhowhow Amos Judd came to posess thissUangs power. tExtensive research work and mucn delv-ing into Hindu theology and mythologywere necessary on the part of June Mathia,who wrote the adaptation, in order thatthese scenes might be true to legend. Thenumerous warriors had to be costumed;two gilded chariots were used by the lead-ers, Arjuna and hi 3 kinsmen, these beingdriven by huge. Ethiopians. Tho chariotof Arjuna was driven by a large man madeup aa an ap-o. Two mammoth elephantsand their trainers wero used, symbolisingtho uso of sli'phants in iJio warfare of thoseancient times.

Kodolph Valentino portrays two Hindudeities of '.ho various incarnations of Brah-ma, in "Tho Young Rajah." Thase por-tiayals occur in n number of fantasticvision

which are necessary to establish cer-tain characteristics of the hero, Amos Judd,who ia supposedly a descendant of Arjuna,the mortal brother of Krishna, the seventhincarnation of Brahma, and the Hindu Godof Lovo. The other deity portrayed byValentino is Vishnu. The correcst portrayalof these Hindu mythological figures requiredan immenso amount of study and researchwork. Mr Valentino's costumes for theseroles were designed by Winifred Hudnut,ns were all his other changes in tho pic-ture. Wanda Hawley, a Paramount favour-ite, has the leading woman's role.

"The Top of New Yo/k," tho supporting 1picture, is a story of .New York life ontho East Side, where a 6lum street oftenlies next to a street inhabited by an artistiocolony, or even by the smar,i set, so thatadjoining roof 3 often represent very widelyseparated classes of society. Miss McAvoy,the star of this picture, portrays a youngshop girl of lowly origin, who lives in apoor tenement, and keeps her sick brotheron tho roof much of the time, for the freshair. There she is observed by a wealthyartist, who has built a bungalow for him-self on tho flat roof of a building on thonext street, with roof adjoining the girl's. Aromance develops when the artist preventsthe girl's Buicido, duo to poverty and de-spair).

A superb musical programme has been ar-ranged by Mr W. J. Bellingham, F.S.M.for Everybody's "Select" Orchestra. Chiefamong the items aro the following:—Over-ture, "Carmen" (Bizet); suites. "Cortege duSerdare" (Iwanow), "Serenade" (RichardStrau9s), "Veil DonoV' (Friml); ProcessionalMarch, "Queen of Sheba" (Goldmark); grandopera, "Iris" (Mascagni), "Damnation of£aus.t " (Berlioz); entr'acte, "Romance"(David); overture, "Force of Destiny"(Verdi); fox trot, "Moon River" (David).As usual, reserved seats may be obtainedcither at Tho Bristol or telephoning 4925.

STRAND THEATRE.

••mm> THE 'WOMAN."

"TWO WEEKS WITH PAT."

A mystery drama of tie screen occupiesprido of place on the present bill at thoStrand Theatre, and further enhances theenviable reputation of that place of amuse-ment. Of late tho Strand management, smdincidentally the Strand Theatre, has becomevery popular. The reason ia fiat there arealways good programmes to be seen, and 'be-yond that tho creature comforts of the audi-ences are all catered for in this chilly wintryseason. "Find the Woman" might almost becalled a household word these days. It hasbecome general in use amongst English-speaking peoples, the Americans proving noexception to the mle. It is fitting there-fore, that a picture should bear the clause <isa title, because somehow or other it soundsinteresting. In "Find tho Woman" AlmaRubens is seen -in tho stellar role as SophieCaToy, one of three women, who, togetherwith half a dozen men, are mixed up in amystery which tho oom'bined detective forcesof Now York gave up their time for several.days to elucidate. At last the cry wentround, "Find thoWoman," and they arresteda man, but here, too. they weile in error, andii was not until the mysterious one hadsettled things to his> own satisfaction thatthe mystery was solved. <t The production is asplendid' mystery drama, and has an unex-pected twist at tho end. It more than keep 3the audience guessing. Ihtring the screeningof the film they are mono to argue betweenthemselves as to what is what. MissRubens's acting is beyond reproach, and shehas a strong company in support.

"Two Weeks With Pay," which 19 thosecond feature, is a delightful comedy-drama,and deals with a young eales-girl who takesher "two weeks with pay" at a fashionablesummer resort where bhe is mistaken for afamous screen staT known as the "DivingVenus." Circumstances make it necessaryfor the shop-girl to assume the character ofthe actress, andi immediately she is enmeshedin a most bewildering set of complications,not the least heing tho necessity of doinga high divo for which she is not in theleast qualified. Bebc Daniels, the Realartstar, is the heroine of thie lively comedy. "ATrip to Faramountowu" and an AmericanGazette complete the bill.

The programme, which was presented foptho first time on Saturday, will be auhmiltedthroughout the present week.

! LIBERTY THEATRE.i

"DANGEROUS CURVE AHEAD."

COMEDY AND PHILOSOPHY.

Ona of the best photo plays of its kindseen in Christchurch to date is ';DangerousCurve Ahead," the headliner on the newprogramme screened at the Liberty Theatre

on Saturday. It is perhaps superfluous tostate that the theatre was crowded to Usfull capacity, and that only reserved seat-

I holders wero admitted alter 7 forChristchurch patrons know well that it isthe early bird that catches the worm andthat tho "worm," bo far aa they are con-

cerned, is the programme screened »* lib-erty. The management of the LibertyTheatre ha 3 every reason to 'be proud' of thehigh standard maintained at that theatre,and there is quite as much reason to beproud oi tho versatility of the programmessubmitted from week to week, whether thepictures be big spectacular extravaganzas,homely stories from the lives of the people,comedy or drama, it is all the same, thoquality is there and the Liberty can stillclaim that it maintains its high standardIt ia this constant striving to live up tohigh reputation that has gained for the popu-lar picture-house tho confidence of thetheatre-going public Patrons do not needto compare programmes fend make ft momen-tous decision—they nimply e° *° the Libertybecause they know the bill wiil be good.

The latest feature, "Dangerous CurveAhead," is a really emart comedy throughwhich there runs n sound vein of philosophy.The photoplay is a gentle satire on marriedlife and it accomplishes what has beenclaimed for several other pictures with lessreason—it gives intimate glimpses intowedded life, showing the real difficultiesthere are to be faced by those with thetemerity to enter into its bonds. It ehotildnot be assumed that the authoT, Rupr-rtHughes, adopts a cynical attitude, for thatwould be wide of tho mark. It ia true thathe shows with the skill of a clever stud'Utof human nature, the many pitfalls in thepath of happiness which have to lie avoidedby married couples, but in addition, _ thereis an undercurrent of high appreciation "1the things which mean real happiness asdistinct from mere pleasure. Moreover, haunderstands women and reveals their natures,with many of their foibles and all of- theirvirtues, in a way which must bo some-what breath-taking tcV the fair sex. He alsoshows the masculine character, but per-haps that, after all, is not such a wonderfulachievement aa the former. The sub-titlesof tho play are in keeping with the plot,and the interpretation of it. They are allamusing, but many of them are more thanthat, containing as they do some great tru-isms. At one stage the author states;"There were at least three Phoebes—theloving wife, the doting motheT and the am-bitious social climber." In that statementalone he shows tho futility of a mere manendeavouring to understand women. HarleyJones, the husband of Phoebe, understoodwoknen just as much as the ordinary man,and that was why he gave way to a fit ofjealousy and nearly wrecked the happiness oithe Jones household. The woman is notupheld aa being altogether blameless in themany little quarrels which mar the sceneof married bliss, but she is given tho credit,and rightly so, of having the brains to makeherself appear in the right. Phoebe placesgreat faith in the old maxim which holdsgood in married life mat as it does insport, "attack is the beßt method of de-fence," and when friend husband arriveshome all worked up to do a "lordi andmaster of tho house" scene, he quicklyfinds himself in the unhappy position of the jparty who begs for forgiveness instead ofoffering it. The picture ends on a note of(happiness, but not before it shows clearlythat life is not such, a simple matter ofliving happily ever afterwards, as the usualnovel and piay might lead one to suppose.One cannot leavo the subject without com-menting upon the wonderful acting of HeleneChadwicke. Emotional actresses of varioustypes havo been in plenty in photo-plays,but one cannot remember seeing before agirl who could speak such volumes by hermere facial expressions. She employs noneof the well-known trick 3 of stagecraft, butsimply gives natural expressions to the verynatural emotion of a wtoma-n. _ She issplendidly supported by Richard Dix, in thorolo of the husband.

In "The Bondboy," the other hig attrac-tion on the programme, Richard Barthel-mess has one of those roles which he knowsso well how to handle with power and re-straint. Briefly, the story is aa follcws:—.To save his mother from the ignominy ofthe poorhouse, Joe Newbolt permits himselfto be "bound" out to the arch villain of theneighbourhood for a period of four years.When Isom Chase, who forced Joe's motherto sign the bond, took the boy to his farmand forced him to work, he little realisedthe. exitent to which the boy's sense of hon-our would carry him. Hie young wife Olliehad submitted by degrees to a life of servi-tude, and he expected Joe to do the same.Chance threw Morgan on the doorstep ofißom Chase one night and the cupidity of jthe landowner forces him to take the sales-man in. Where Joe failed her Morgan sue- Icumbed and Ollie wae soon in the midstof an illicit love affair. Chase's love of money;serves them tho opportunity soon, for he.goes to the country seat to servo on the jjury and Morgan and Ollie plan to runaway. Joe thwarts their plot, and sendaMorgan off one night, and then catches OllieIin the living roam of her home dressed fortravelling. He tells her of Morgan's flight |and urgeß her to go to bed, when the dooropens and Isom strides in, sees the moneyand clothes, accuses Joe of trying to stealhis wife and in a mad fury threatens theboy with death. Joe rushes to stop, himand the musket discharges and kills Chase.Joe is accused of the crime and to protect■Ollie's name he refuses to tell all, simplymaintaining it was an accident'. He is con-victed of the murder. In the shadow/of thegallows, the night before he is to die, Joelearns that Morgan has returned and iBliving with Ollie. _ He seeß a. chance toescape and determines to force the truthfrom them. His sensational escape and chaseby bloodhounds provide a thrilling denoue-ment, and the dramatio incidents which fol-low bring the picture to a startling con-clusion.

Comedy and topical numbers complete asplendid bill, which ia pleasingly eupportedthroughout by the Liberty Theatre Orches-tra. The current programme will be shownuntil Friday night. A special film of theDak© of York's wedding will be screenedto-day.

MR PURCELL WEBB'SORGAN RECITAL.

On Saiurday night in Knox Church, MrPuicell Webb gave another of hia enjoyableorgan recitals, the eolos consisting of anumber of pieces in various styles of com-position. The older classics were representedin Mendelssohn's "Grand Organ Sonata inF"—one of the finest and probably the mostpopular of the six organ sonatas. Delicatetonod stops were used in the Adagio andKccitando. In the latter the intervention ofiortissimo chords showed the power oftue organ to advantage, wliilo the allegrovivace gave the organist opportunity of dis-playing his great executive ability. Ira therendering of "Finlandia" (Sibeluis), the or-chestral tone colouring ot the organ wasnicely done. Cesar Franek's tuneful "Pas-torale" wa3 given with taste and finish, asalso was a "Gavotte" from Mignon (Thomas).A dramatic pastoral scene (The Storm) byLifobure-Wely, was well interpreted, the pas-toral pipes and storm effects being mostrealistic. A ''Wedding Recessional," a, mod-ern, organ solo by Coerve, closed a. most erc-joyablo programme.

Four vocal solos were sung during theevening by Miss Dorothy Spiller and Mr F.C. Penfold. The former sang Gounod's' There ie a Green Hill" and "O Divine Re-deemer" by the same composer. The singer■ocssesses a nice resonant roice, and, exceptin one or two husky notes, the effects of acold, gave very pleasing interpretationsthroughout. Mr F. C. Penfold, whose sing-ing is always enjoyable, sang the "Lord ismv Light" (Spechs) and "The Blind Plough-man" (Cor.ingsby ClarkJ giving very appre-ciative renderings.

A train with an unconscious driver atthe throttle roared into HarecastleTunnel, on the London, Midland andScottish Railway, recently. It emergeda mile away witn the fireman driving,supporting James Harrison, the strick-en driver, with one hand and workingthe levers with the other. Harrison'slast act as he collapsed in Ms cabwas to blow the whistle at the tunnelmouth. He died soon after the firemanhad brought the train to the stopin ti>e open air.

JUVENILE CHOIR.

SATURDAY'S CONCERT.

The second concert by the Chri*tci3iurcliJuvenile Choir, given in the Choral Hall onSaturday afternoon proved not a, whit lessenjoyable than that presented on nmra-day night. The same programme as . thatpreviously submitted- was given on Sat-urday and of the many and varied &un>bers "How Bweet the Cairn" received &

well-deserved encore, while "Fairy Bevels"and "Woodland Lullaby" were extremelypopular.

During the course of tho concert the musi-cal director, Mr Sydney jdutler, conveyed tothe audience an apology for absence fromthe patron of the choir, her ExcellencyViscountess Jellicoe. Mr Butler also ex-pressed his pleasure at he presence at th»function, of "the president, Lady Kinsey.

The choir will resume practice on Satur-day next in the Choral Hall, svhen it willbegin its preparations for tie Christmaspageant of Fairyland.

During the course of his speech inthe Legislative Council last week, theHon. G. M. Thomson said the positionof scientilio research in this countrywas not very satisfactory. On theoutbreak of war the scientific ability ofthe German nation was of the greatestservice to it. The British Army offi-cers were drawn chiefly from men withclassical, not scientific, educations. Attlie commencement of the war therewas hardly any scientific organisation,though private" enterprise saved theday. Germany, through Britain'sapathy, had monopolised the dye indus-try of^the world, and therein had avast supplf of war chemicals. Whenthe Government did net, in 1915, thepaltry sum of £25,000 was voted, thefollowing year £40,000. Then a millionwas expended on a scientific branch.Finally we beat the Germans in everydepartment of scientific research. Earlyin 1915 the Dominions were alked toorganise their scientific investigations.Something was done in Dunedm, Auck-land, Christchurch, and Wellington. In1917 a report was made by the headof the Education Department, andmany schemes were brought forwardto endow scientific research to a great-er extent. No definite action was tak-en, and the matter 6tood there to-day.

"JUBILATIONS."

BOX ELANS OPEN TO-DAY.

The box plans for tie Canterbury College

annual revue, "Jubilations." vrill be avail-able at The Bristol at 9 a.m. to-day, awlthe oublio is warned to book early, as pastexperience has proved that this is essential.

First scene: Chairman. P. -D. Hall;Squeers, L. D. Page; Longtots, A. T. Bell;Rev. Wobbley, A. AG. =C°VS"A. W. Brown; Registrar. J. * w&°*:Pressmen, H. Lucena and F. ». -f-tro,

Besides the principal characters in theplot of the revue there are a strong ohoriiawhich do really excellent work Mr A. W.ltoown has excellent opportunities, of whichhe makes use in Ms own inimitable way.tf& song, "Getting Better," is certain tobring down the hou*e. Mr M. J. Burns isresponsible for excellent jsamody work inhis sketch of the ap-t.O-d2.to Yankee auc-tioneer who does big pusiuws in real cßtatowith the OanletV.vry Filgritrai. Mr J.

The preparation of the ' cossumea for therevue is practioa'Jy rempkte, snd brilliantcolouring will be a fenhira of the produc-tion. Those who ought to kn>w say thatthe ladies' section of the revue will mtrpaesall previous efforts. Rehearsals certainlylend colour to this belief.

"JACK AND THE BEAN-STALK."

A POPULAR PRODUCTION.

The Theatre. Royal proved to be scarcelylarge enough to accommodate the large audi-ence which attended that house of amuse-ment on Saturday afternoon on the occa-sion of the matin© performance of "Jack andthe Beanstalk." Despite the wintry condi-tions on Saturday evening the performancewas greeted with similar evidence of itspopularity. As in thecase of pantomimes byprofessional oompaies, "Jack and the Bean-stalk" proves to ho but a vehiole, by meanswhich Christchurch audiences can becomeacquainted with, tho talent of the artiststaking part in it, and Christcliurch has beenconsiderably surprised, on this occasion, thepresent pantomime easily ranking with thebest of visiting shows. It is certainly wellworth attending both from the point of viewof spectacularity and the musical side, whichis for excellence. The last performance willbo ffiven to-morrow night.

LASZLO SCHWARTZ

SECOND CONCERT.

Saturday night's concert by Mr LaszloSchwarts was not so well attended, aa fromit 3 merits should have been. Again hebegan with an eloquent discourse on "FolkMusic," and illustrated it by a number offolk songs, chiefly of Hungarian origin,played on the violin in his refined style,and finish. One cannot ihelp thinking thata more effective course would be to pre-sent these folk-songs vocally, all complete.Their full significance for the listener de-pends upon intimate knowledge of both,words and tune. Admitting that NatronaMelodies are often* heard in purely instru-mental reproduction, the practioe is justifiedfrom ths reason that their every line isuniversally known in the country of theirbirth, which is not tie case- with, those fromforeign lands.

Among Mr Sohwartz's violin solos, tho"Oriental'Lament," McDowell's "Wild Boss"arid a pretty "Romance" by R. A.Home brought the performer's skill . andartistic perception to convincing demonstra-tion. vThe contributions of Miss Etta Fieldstrengthen the good) impressions of her firstappearance and her singing, especially ofthe aria from "L» Tosca," Mascheroni'a "AveMaria," and perhaps best of all, of Ban-tool's "Lament of laia," was very highlyappreciated. Mr Ernest Empson's. servicesat the piano to both soloists made again astrong and admirable feature of the con-cert.

FAITH CURES IN A WELSHVALLEY.

That Lourdes, the little town in. thePyrenees, to which health seekers fromall parts of the world are flocking justnow, has its counterpart in Wales is afact known to few people (writes a cor-respondent in the London "Daily Ex-press" of May 16th).

Yet to within a few years ago theWell of St. Winefride, virgin andmartyr, at Holywell, in Flintshire, wasas famous a shrine as the Grotto of OurLady at Lourdes is to-day.

. Holywell is a market town in a rest-ful valley between Chester and Rhyl.It has a history that goes back overtwelve centuries. The reputation of itswell- is not purely traditionalor simplya matter of ancient history. Many as-tonishing and apparently inexplicablecures have occurred there in recentyears, while the faith of a large numberof people in its curative powers re-mains undiminished.

A striking fact emerging from a peru-sal of the documents relating to thesecures is that most of the subjects havebeen Protestanta, who owe no specialdevotion to St. Winefride. The closingyears of last century were marked bymany cures at the well, a considerableproportion of them occurring amongpersons who refused, by reason of theirfaith, to touch the water of the well

The water itself has often been an-alysed, and is shown to contain no me*dicinal properties whatever. At onetime thousands of people annually visit-ed the shrine, and stately processionswere held' on the Feast of St. Winefride.At the height of its popularity the wellwas one of the most famous ehrraee inthe world.

To-day it no longert attracts the mu)-titiide. The supply of water, wasseriously curtailed a few years ago bydrainage operations, while during'thowar the flow temporarily ceased.

Holywell has been eclipsed byLourdes, with its more imposing recordof miracles, as well as its many coun-ter-attractions, but I have heard it pro-phesied that the order of popularity willone day be reversed, and that Holywellwill again come into its own.

Meanwhile, its diminished waters arestill taken by a small number of de-votees to St. Winefride.

KIRKWOOD'S DEFEAT.

(Received June 24th, E.S p.m.)LONDON, June 23.

, Tho "Daily Telegraph" says the explana-tion of Kirkwood'* surprising defeat is per-fectly simple—Seymour's miiaculous puttinghomewards. He hacked out of bunkers topinside and hdlcside putts of every imagin-able length. His mistarf'.-s went unpunished.Seymour had only to dig the ball out toSomewhere on the green and down went theputt. These must have been bitter momentafor Kirkwood, who hud set his heart on win-ning the tournament to atone for his failure&t Troon. He returns to Amer'ca empty-handed to join Hagen. Most galling fromKirkwood's point of view was that, from themoment Seymour opened his devastating tor-rent, tho Australian mads only one bad shot,but this' brought about his destruction,

HOME-MADE SUBMARINE.

STRANGE CRAFT TO SAIL THESEVEN SEAS.

A gentleman in the United States hasjust built himself a home-made submarine—

an eighteen-foot wooden vessel which he hastried out in the harbour of San Pedro, Cali-fornia, and which has attracted a certain

amount of attention and a good deal of

ridicule. The inventor's name is WilliamRoland, states a "Manchester Guardian''correspondent ,and the submarine has beenchristened Rolan Neptune in his honour.He has absolute faith in his bantling, al-though when one reads that she is pro-pelled by an elementary lugsail and a six-

hcrse-powar petrol engine taken out of anold car, one can well understand the wayold eail'ormen are shaking their heads anddeclaring that she is not seaworthy.

Nevertheless, Mr Roland is not only will-ing to risk his live in this strange craft,but he pkns tc tail round the world withher, taking a certain amount of stores andsupplying the remainder Dy catching fishthrough a hatch in the bottom. By th«same means hj« will carry out scientific ob-servation*. H« h*s no desire to be tram-melled by the ordinary conventions of sufb'marine construction, and thereforo has builther without either a periscope or a conningtower.

At one time it was learod that the vesselwould be burned out, and that othe? ship-ping wou.d be endangered, but this waseventually prevented. Fifteen motor pumpsand over 100 firemen were engaged for fourhours before the fire was mastered.

Nos. 1, i and 3 hj.ds being com-pletely burnt, out the bridge, the captain'squarters, the chart house, and the saioonwere gutted. At present there is no know-ledge as to how the fire started, but anenquiry will doubtless be he! 3.

Accidents.Two runaways of tradesmen's vehicles oc-

curred on Saturday morning. The flrßt wasthat of a Ford delivery motor van, cvned byMr A. McDonald, which was. left standingin the upper part of Canterbury sti'eet whilethe driver was delivering bread. By somemeans the break became released and thecar commenced a swift, erratic course downhill. Its career ended when it struck atelephone post on Dr. Uphnm's corner. Theimpact must have been terrific fts. the postwas pushed out of plumb, a cvoas arm atthe top was broken, bringing ' down withit several wires, while other wire/3 were brokenas far as two poles away. . Ths damage wasrepaired in the afternoon 'by a /party of lines-men. The car sustained a twitfted radiator,broken front springs and minor damages..

The second runaway occurred shortly after-wards when a horse attached to a- spring de-livery cart, owned by Me-ssra C. H. Agar andCo., baited from Hawkhurst, road. The driver,L. Wearne, was standing Veaide the cart atthe time and managed t<;. grab the reins.-He was dragged some diV/tance and com-pelled to let go. Crossing ?, side-channel onewheel of the cart was Fftripped, but thehorse dragged the vehicle along Londonstreet until stopped in /a smart manner bya young man named Nulbj.

NOTES AND MEMORANDA.

The official opening and annual meeting ofthe Liirwood Publio Library will be held to-morrow, commencing at 7.30 p.m.

Having seen others riding motor-cycles and the operation appearing tobe simple in itself, a young haif-casteentered a motor-eycle depot in Hamil-ton one day last week and asked for axrial run on a big machine. He startedon a very uneven course along Hoodstreet, and, after colliding with severaltrees, was pursued by the agent andthe machine taken from him. He thenwent to a garage, where he got anothermotor-cycle and a side-ohair. Gettingastride, he switched on the power, andthe next moment he was lying uncon-scious in a shop opposite, having madea straight dash across and crashedthrough a plate-glass window of th*Farmers' Supply .Stores. He is now(states the Auckland "Herald's" corres-pondent) nursing his injuriesin WaikatoHospital, wondering whether motor-cycling is the pleasurable and simple apastime he thousht it was.
