Yesterday’s Weddings

THE CALGARY"STAMPEDE”

MISS ELSIE ANDREWS’SADDRESS

MEETING OF TRAVEL CLUB

“More tiresome than the speaker thatstops to think is the speaker who doesnot think to stop,” said Miss Elsie An-drews, concluding an entertaining ad-dress at the Canterbury (N.Z.) TravelClub’s morning tea party, held yes-terday at Ballantynes. But Miss An-drews knows when and how to stop.She is a good speaker and practice hasimproved her technique. She wasformerly Dominion president of theNew Zealand Women Teachers’ Asso-ciation, and this year she was leaderof the New Zealand delegation to thePan-Pacific Conference held in Van-couver. She chose as her subject foryesterday’s address a few sidelights onlife in Canada, which the ordinarytourist -might not have an opportunityof seeing.

In Vancouver, she said, there arerepresentatives of practically everycountry of importance in the world,and the social side of life in the cityis enriched and members of the hetero-geneous population are stimulated andencouraged by the holding of greatfolk festivals, which, in the winter,are attended by persons of no fewerthan 40 nationalities. As her visit waspaid in the summer, the festival wasattended by representatives of about15 countries, and a very impressivegathering it was. There could be nodoubt that the people found greathappiness in thus being encouraged tomaintain their national characteristicsand to enjoy their folk dances andsongs.

The Calgary Stampede was anothergathering which greatly interestedMiss Andrews. During one week cfthe year* Red Indians from far andnear and cowboys from ranches allover Alberta visit Calgary, practicallytake possession of the town, and giveexhibitions of their arts and crafts.The Stampede, as it is called, openedwith a monster procession, headed by400 or 500 mounted Indians wearingwhite buckskin robes embroideredwith beads to match their sandals andbridles. Next came the cowboys,“tough guys,” with whom Miss An-drews admitted she would not like topick a quarrel. On a magnificentlydecorated float rode “Britannia,” re-presented by a handsome woman,richly dressed in traditional style, andchewing gum all the way!

Songs were sung by Mrs HaroldCordery, who was accompanied byMiss Vera Yager.

Mr J. G. D. Ward presided and MrsRoyce Soanes and Mrs H. T. J.Thacker were the hostesses, who wel-comed the visitors and thanked theperformers.

The guests of honour were MissLilian Hay and Miss Clark-Hall (Eng-land), Miss Nancy Wood, Mrs D. V.Rowe. Mrs Chainey (Sydney), MissAndrews (New Plymouth), Mrs J. B.Dick and Mrs Pringle (Dunedin), MrsP. Williams (Geraldine), Mr and MrsKennedy, Mrs and Miss Gayford, MrsFinn (Wellington), Mrs Palmer (Auck-land), Mrs Strang (Invercargill), andMrs Taylor (Rangiora).

THE WOMEN'SINSTITUTES

NORTH CANTERBURYFEDERATION

HALF-YEARLY MEETING

“The first aim of the Women’s In-stitutes is to add to the comfort ofthe home,” said Mrs B. L. Blundenwhen welcoming delegates to the half-yearly meeting of the North Can-terbury Federation of Women’s In-stitutes held in the Provincial Coun-cil Chambers, yesterday. Mrs Blundenpointed out that members had learntmuch about converting waste materialsinto useful articles for their homes,and they were taking an increasing in-terest in health questions and in theorganising of entertainments. In hervisits to institutes she had noticedparticularly the spirit of friendlinessand helpfulness that prevailed. Sheemphasised the importance of sendingdelegates to conferences, as it wasnecessary for members to gain outsideinformation on common problems, andto meet members from other institutes.The institutes wished to forward hap-piness and health in the homes, andthat unselfish spirit which, she said,would make for the peace of the world,more than anything else.

Forty-two institutes were repre-sented at the meeting.

Annual ReportThe half-yearly report stated that

new institutes had been formed atHawkswood. Claverley, Conway, andOaro Public Works Department camps,Tuahiwi, and Rotherham, making atotal of 55 institutes in the federation.

Institute activities had included artsand crafts exhibitions, flower shows,home industries exhibition, drama fes-tivals, and social entertainments. Tutorsof the Association for Country Edu-cation had held classes for drama,dressmaking, etc., at some of the insti-tutes in North Canterbury.

The Little River Institute had col-lected pioneer tales and had gainedfirst place in the Dominion pioneertales competition. Seven girls hadattended the Country Girls’ EducationCourse arranged by the Women’s Di-vision of the Farmers’ Union.

The president had visited a numberof institutes, and had planted a pohu-tukawa tree at Akaroa in commemora-tion of her visit.

Mrs J. W. Macleod. in reporting onthe housekeeper scheme, said that theinstitute housekeeper had been calledas far north as Kaikoura, and as farsouth as Banks Peninsula. The schemehad grown to such an extent, how-ever, that it was not as successful asone would wish, for when a house-keeper became popular in a districtshe was in great demand. There werealso some weeks when a housekeeperwas not needed, and at other times,numerous applications were made. Inone week she had received nine ap-plications. Many housekeepers alsowere unwilling to go to homes wherethere were large families. These werethe homes where help was so greatlyneeded.

,. . .

“If we are advocating larger fami-lies for New Zealand, something willhave to be done to give householdhelp to those in need of it,” said MrsMacleod, who added that the federa-tion could merely touch the fringe ofthe work that should be done for thesefamilies. She had found great difficulty

in finding suitable housekeepers, oftenat a few days’ notice, to send to coun-try homes.

, , ,.

.,

As the housekeeper had to be paida regular wage, whether working ornot, the scheme was a great financialresponsibility for the federation. If thescheme continued to expand, it waslikely that the institutes would becalled upon for help.

Work Among MaorisMrs F. Robertson, a member of the

Dominion Executive Committee ofWomen’s Institutes, spoke briefly ofthe work being done by the execu-tive for the Maoris in the NorthIsland. In the past, nurses had beentrying to establish institutes* forMaoris in the northern districts andto help them with their home prob-lems. The work had grown so muchthat one nurse alone had been presi-dent of seven institutes. The workhad been recognised by the Govern-ment, and the Health Department hadgranted £350 for one year for thispurpose. That the work should be car-ried out successfully had meant thatan organiser should be employed, andMrs L. Horn had been chosen. It washoped to teach the Maoris many of thearts and crafts known to other insti-tute members. Mrs Robertson appealedto those institutes where memberswere proficient in crafts to makeminiature articles, and an accompany-ing. model of the work in its early

stages, and send to the head office toassist Mrs Horn in her work. Maga-zines of interest to women would alsobe greatly welcomed, she said.

Afternoon SessionDuring the afternoon, Dr. A. B.

O’Brien spoke on “Sex Education forChildren,” and pointed out that suchinformation should be given to thechildren, gradually, over a number ofyears, when they were in a receptivemood, mostly in answer to their ques-tions. He was not in favour of sucheducation in the school, but thoughtmothers were the best persons to im-part that information. The way thisknowledge was imparted was apt tocolour one’s life, and children shouldbe guided lovingly and frankly bytheir parents. The chief reason whyparents shirked this responsibility wasbecause they were not well enoughinformed themselves.

A hearty vote of thanks was passedto Dr. O’Brien for the work he wasdoing and had done in the past in theinterests of humanity.

AN EVENINGRECEPTION

MISS ELSIE ANDREWSWELCOMED

DESIRE OF WOMEN FOR PEACE

Miss Elsie Andrews, chairwoman ofthe New Zealand Committee of thePan-Pacific Women’s Association, waswelcomed to Christchurch yesterday ata luncheon party organised by theChristchurch branch of the NationalCouncil of Women, and in the evening,at a meeting of women arranged bythe Canterbury Women Teachers’ As-sociation.

“Some people wonder why we havea Pan-Pacific Association,” said MissAndrews when speaking at the even-ing meeting. She pointed out that mosthistory books seemed to assume thatthe history of man was the history ofwomen. Perhaps that had been true

in the early days when all that lifeheld was a struggle for food and shel-ter. No doubt the history then wasthe same, but from the time life be-came more varied and people began

to cast their thoughts higher, life be-gan to differ for men and women. ThePan-Pacific Women’s Association hadcome into being as a clearing houseof thought for women whose countriesbordered the Pacific Ocean. It waspurely an altruistic organisation, andwas not political. All that one knewabout the delegates to the conferencewas that they were interested in worldproblems as they affected humanityand particularly as they affectedwomen and children. The associationwas a truth seeking body rather .thana resolution passing body. It aimedat finding a solution to the problemsconfronting the women, and the onlyway of doing that was to see thingsthrough the eyes of peoples of othercountries. The association’s root causewas the desire of women for peace.It tried to promote understanding be-tween nations, for it was only in thatway that peace could be attained, saidthe speaker.

The Colour ProblemAll members of the association had

something to contribute to the causeof peace. “By peace. I do not meanthe preservation of the status quo. Wemust get a different conception ofpeace than the keeping of what we’vegot, and staying as we are,” said MissAndrews. “We have to get rid of that•Holier than Thou’ attitude.”

At the conference held recently inVancouver, she had been impressed bytwo negresses from Detroit, who werenot delegates, and who had, at theirown expense, travelled to attend theconference and present a preparedpaper, which urged that the womenof the world should not Ipse sight ofthe problems of the coloured people.They had been greatly interested toknow that there was no colour dis-tinction between the Maoris and thepakeha in New Zealand. One of thenegresses had leaned over to Miss An-drews and had asked: “Don’t you havelynching in your country?” Their ap-peal had received a most sympathetichearing.

Miss Andrew’s had been questionedas to her meaning when she had askedthat a “really representative gather-ing” should be a feature of the con-ference to be held in New Zealand in1940. She had explained that shewished the native races to be included.For instance, as Maoris would beamongst New Zealand representativeswhy not North American Indians fromCanada, anti, Indians and negressesfrom the United States. She had laterbeen complimenetd on her courage forbroaching the subject. “I contend thatif we do not have harmony withinour borders, we can never be an in-fluence for world peace.” said Miss An-drews in defending her point of view.

A remarkable feature of the confer-ence had been the friendship main-tained by the Chinese and Japanesedelegates at a time when hostilitiesbetween thedr countries were com-mencing. These women had set theworld an example in true control andfriendship. On being asked whetherthe situation was not embarrassing, MrsTsune Gauntlett, the former presidentof the association, had replied, “We donot meet on a plane of diplomacy, wemeet on an intellectual plane.” Allthrough the conference the Japaneseand Chinese women had co-operatedin a friendly manner, and no one whohad attended the meeting would everforget that particular aspect of it. saidMiss Andrews.

It was important, said the speaker,that delegates to the conferences shouldhave a thorough knowledge of their »subjects, and no delegate should bechosen less than six months before theconference. They should be allowedduring this time to study the materialavailable on . their topic. Study wasimportant, but the association wouldbe a lifeless organisation without thepersonal contacts made possible forthe triennial conferences. No onecould ever feel apathy towards an-other country when one had metpeople of that country and been toldof the conditions under which theylived and worked. The countries nolonger remained just certain shapesand colours on a map. but becameliving organisms to women who at-tended these' conferences, said thespeaker.

Interesting PersonalitiesMiss Andrews spoke briefly of many

interesting personalities she had metat the conference, and added that shewas happy to think that in 1940 NewZealand women would have the oppor-tunity of meeting the new president.Dean M. Bollert. a woman of out-standing ability.

Miss O’Brian, president of the Can-terbury Women Teachers’ Association,introduced Miss Andrews and pre-sented her with a bouquet of flowers.Mrs T. E. Taylor, Dominion presidentof the New Zealand Committee of thePan-Pacific Women’s Association. MissMildred Trent, and Miss M. G. Have-laar. Dominion and local president re-spectively of the National Council ofWon>?n, expressed the thanks of thewomen present to Miss Andrews.

ORPHANAGE APPEALOPENED

GOOD RESPONSE TO WORKFOB FUNDS

The annual SL Saviour’s fair, in aicnf the funds of St. Saviour’s Orphan-age was opened yesterday afternoon inthe’old Art Gallery, Durham streetbv Mrs J. Mowbray Tripp. There wasan excellent attendance all the after-noon and evening, and the stalls, whichwere attractively laid out, did goodbusiness.

RATES FOR NORTHCOTESETTLEMENT

*

Whether the Norlhcote settleme ;

was meant to be included in a recentstatement by the Minister for Finance(the Hon. W. Nash) that the Govern-ment would pay the rates on proper-ties under the Government housingscheme, irrespective of the rentspaid, is a matter of concern to the Wai-mairi County Council. Cr W. G. Chap-man, who read a newspaper •report ofthe Minister’s statement at a meetingof the council last evening, said thatthe council should write to the Minis-ter asking that the policy of the Gov-ernment apply to Northcote.

“And be made retrospective,” mem-bers added. It was suggested thatpossibly Northcote was included; butMr Chapman said that he thought theMinister referred only to the newhousing schemes, but “it would not doany harm to write and find out.”Northcote was a Government housingsettlement. The Minister’s statementannounced a new departure, as for-merly rates were paid on a basis of(rents collected.

It was decided finally to seek in-formation through the Member of Par-liament for the district, Mr C. MorganWilliams.

A letter from Mr J. R. Clarice thatrelief workers should be employed toimprove Godley avenue at the settle-ment, will be forwarded to the StateAdvances Corporation.

[Prom Our Parliamentary Reporter!

WELLINGTON, October 27.Twenty-seven of the gunners who

resigned from their service at theNarrow Neck barracks of the RoyalNew Zealand Artillery have with-drawn their resignations. This state-ment was made in an interview to-night by the Minister for Defence(the Hon. F. Jones).

The Minister stated that onlyseven of the men who had handedin their resignations still held to thatdecision. He was sorry that theposition had arisen, as the wholequestion of the pay and conditionsof the men concerned had been un-der consideration for some time.

The intentions of the Governmentwould be disclosed as soon as pos-sible, but it was not going to allowitself to be stampeded into an un-timely decision.

USE OF PLANT FORSTATE HIGHWAYS

*

WAIMAIRI COUNTY’S REQUESTTO MINISTER

The Waimairi County Council de-cided last evening to write to theMinister for Public Works (the Hon.R. Semple) asking him for the oppor-tunity to use the county’s plant inrepair work to State highways.

The council, referring to recent com-ments by the Minister, had written tohim previously advising that the coun-cil had plant available, and that it Iwas willing to co-operate with the de-partment in works in the county, buthad not received a request for co-operation.

The Minister’s reply said that re-cent comments he had made had notreferred to the Waimairi County Coun-cil, but rather to certain local au-thorities concerned in the transfer ofcontrol of State highways. He hadreferred not so much to lack of co-operation, but to the lack of adequateplant by some local authorities to as-sist the department in the propermaintenance of State highways pend-ing delivery of Government plantordered.

INFLUENCE OFRUSSIA

BUILDING A NEWSTATE

ADDRESS BY REV. O. W.WILLIAMS

The B'jisheviks have built fromrums of Russia a country that is

■ d. Among other things they have< i .mma it from an importing country

* manufacturing country,” said theO. W, Williams, discussing the

importance of Russia in present-day■world affairs at the monthly tea meet-ing of me Christchurch branch of theWellington College Old Boys’ Associ-ation la-t evening. “They have en-deavoured to destroy all former tradi-tions. and attempted v/ith a good dealof noise and energy to build a state oft> new type.”

ARhouch Russia did not appear veryi-rominently in the cable news, its in-fluence was predominant in world af-fairs of the present day, he said. Thegreat revolution succeeding the last

■war had had enduring results; al-though m some coses the results hadVeen =kw in making themselves felt,j•; this age the Russian revolutionwas working against great obstaclesmi attempting to modify the polity of�■•very country of the world. ThisTeas" being countered by states en-deavouring to become self-sustainedand self-supporting; and as a resultinternational trade was disappearing

The original proposal of the Bol-fheviks was for world revolution. But■with the progress of the revolutionthis plan had been modified; althoughtnat had been done against Trotsky’swishes. The enemies of Russia de-clared that when a country was weak.Communist influences were at work;*md for examples they pointed to Spainand China. Japanese intervention mChina was explained as an attempt tocounteract the spread of Communism.Russia still remained a foremost agentin affecting the conditions of the world,"in New Zealand the present Govern-ment had as its inspiration the suc-cess of the Russian experiment. Manymeasures bore traces of the influencesof Russian thinking and Marxistideals, although the present Govern-ment was more moderate and temper-ate in the rate of progress. Theseideals were evident in its policy, par-ticularly in the marketing of primaryproducts and the fixing of wages.

Amalgamation of RacesThere was another feature about

Russia which made it important, andcave it a peculiar quality, he con-tinued. It was a great country forthe amalgamation of races. In primi-

tive times the Russian community wasfound in forests south of the Baltic,and at one time Germany was popu-lated by Slavic peoples. The Slavsmoved eastward and southward along

such rivers as the Don and Volga, anathere they found their destiny. Asthey moved eastward they encoun-tered the debris of Asiatic races andthe different races gradually mingled.The old proverb about scratching aRussian and finding a Tartar amplyexplained the amalgamation of Eastand West. There were 100 differentnationalities in Russia—they were aEuro-Asiatic race.

. , , ,„

After the Tartar invasions of latervears the North Russian gradually-predominated, and became the strong-

est factor of the Russian ,Next there was the era of Peter theGreat, who endeavoured to developthe country on Western Europeanlines, and still later the days of theGreat War, when the complete failureof the rulers to organise its vast re-sources led to the crippling of thecountry. The revolution was the re-action of the disappointed hordes.Lenin, the early leader of the Bol-sheviks. was one of the most co ,ura ®'

ecus of modern thinkers; out ofchaos he had built the modern Rus-sian State. Russia embarked on apolicy of Socialism, and destroyed allthe elements in the n?tion which op-posed it. Lenin died in 1924, and wassucceeded by Stalin, who was not aRussian. He was secretary of theCommunist Internationale, and his in-fluence dominated Russia His ruth-lessness had been strongly shorn mthe policy of replacing Priva *fby collective State farms. He hadsuppressed the peasant farmersthey were working in camps in Si-

beria practically as prisoners.

Ahead in comfort and safety because ofKnee Action—again the only English car withthis modern essential within hundreds ofpounds of Vauxhall’s price .

.. and again

ahead in value.

Ahead in convenience because of genuine *

Fisher No-draught Ventilation, an essential tocomfort enjoyed by no other English car atany price.

Ahead in price because although prices inEngland advanced on September Ist, prices inNew Zealand are as yet unchanged, from £32B*(obtainable on the confidential G.M.A.C. Planof Convenient Payment if desired).

THE WEEK OYER THE WORLDLORD RUTHERFORDDeath of Great Scientist

Lord Rutherford of Nelson, one of thegreatest scientists of our time, died last week.He was a New Zealander, and for that rea-son his career has been of particular interest

in. this country. But his achievements inscientific research were so remarkable thatscientists and students in all parts of theworld looked up to him as the great man ofscience in this century.

He began his life as a farmer’s son in theNelson district, and but for the scholarshipto Nelson College that he won he might havecontinued on the land to the end of his days,or so he would say of himself. At Canter-bury University College, where he studiedfor four years, gaining high scholastic hon-ours, he made advanced and difficult experi-ments with poor materials and had resultsthat were remarkable at a time when therewas very little general knowledge of thesubjects with which he dealt. Before theworld in general had even heard of radiotransmissions, Rutherford had made astrange apparatus in a room at CanterburyCollege, and with this had sent messagesthrough walls.

A further scholarship sent the keen re-searcher to Cambridge in 1894, and fromthat time onwards he began experimentingand writing the results in scientific journals,lecturing and occupying professorships inCanada and England.

Lord Rutherford’s work earned for himthe respect of all learned men; he receivedthe highest honours the scholastic world canconfer, as well as the highest ones conferredby the King of England. And the affection-ate regard of his colleagues was added totheir deep respect for the man and thescientist, Lord Rutherford of Nelson.

ANOTHER RECORDFLIGHT

Miss Batten’s Success' Miss Jean Batten, the New Zealand air-woman, landed at.Lympne aerodrome, Eng-land, on Sunday afternoon. She left Darwin,Australia, on Tuesday, and beat Mr H. F.Broadbent’s record of 6 days Bhrs 56min by14hrs lOmin.

Miss Batten’s limbs were so stiff whenshe landed that she had to be lifted fromher aeroplane—the Percival Gull which sheflew from England to New Zealand last year.

When she landed at Croydon she receivedperhaps the heartiest welcome ever given toa record-breaking flyer there.

Miss Batten said that the last part- of theflight was terrible. She had met with terrificstorms between Damascus and Athens, andher machine was thrown every way, but theweather near Rome was worse. She thoughtat one stage she would lose control of heraeroplane altogether.

Among the many tributes sent to her wasa box of orchids from Mr H. F. Broadbent,who had to give up his attempt, with a cardstating: “Grand show, Jean. Heartiest con-gratulations.” From Sir Harry Lauder therewas a message: “Congratulations, bonnyJean; you’re the bravest lass that e’er wasseen.” . • • •

Stamp StoriesSTAMPS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF

AUSTRALIA—PART IV(By R. J. G, Collins)

view of the Blue Mountains, takenfrom Macarthiir’s original home atCamden.

There were two centennial cele-brations In 1934. This year sawthe completion of the hirst hundredyears of settlement in the State ofVictoria, and though the actualcelebration of the event did not be-gin until October, the advertisingvalue of postage stamps was re-cognised by the issue of a specialcommemorative set on July 2. Theset comprised three values, 2dorange; 3d blue, and Is black. Thedesign, which was common to thethree values, showed a member pithe extinct Yarra tribe of ab-originals, standing on the southlinn if of the River Yarra and view-ing the modern city of Melbourne.These stamps, together with all thelater Australian issues, -wereprinted at the Government Print-Zing Office, Melbourne, and this setrepresented a marked advance inthe method of production. Pre-viously, stamps printed by the in-taglio process, had been from - flatplates, which required dampenedpaper, but in 1934 new presses■were Installed, so that line-gngravedplates could be used on rotarymachines, very similar in operationto those with which “The PressJunior" is printed.

The minimum postal rate onletters carried to Great Britain fromNew Zealand or from Australia bythe Australia-England airmail ser-vice is Is 6d, and though we havenot had any single stamp of’thisvalue issued in New Zealand, thevolume •of correspondence dis-patched from Australia was con-sidered sufficient to warrant theissue of such a stamp. This Is 6dvalue, which was printed in dullpurple, was first issued on Decem-ber 1, 1934. The design shows thetwo hemispheres with the figure ofMercury in the middle. It shouldbe noted that this figure is takenfrom the official badge of the Aus-tralian Post and Telegraph Depart-ment, and that the stamp is one ofthe ordinary postal issues and notan airmail stamp.

On April 25, 1915, the Australianand New Zealand Army Corpsmade the memorable landing onGallipoli. New Zealand recognisedthis event by a special issue in1936, but Australia was a yearearlier in commemorating theAnzacs. The Australian set com-prised two values, 2d red and Isblack, which were placed on saleon March 18. It was the cause ofsome disappointment to Australiansthat a local subject was not se-lected for the design, but, it wasthe wish of the authorities that thestamps should not cause any offenceby glorifying military activity.Therefore, the approved designshows the cenotaph at Whitehall,London, which has come to be re-cognised as the Empire’s shrine.

The second event honoured in3934 was the centenary of the deathof Captain John Macarthur.Macarthur was an officer in themilitary forces sent to Sydneyshortly after the original settle-ment, and on his retirement fromactive service he took up a largeblock of land in New South Wales.During his visit to England to settleup his affairs, he was Impressed bysome sheep which had been pre-sented to King George 111 by theKing of Spain. These sheep werenot suited by the English climateand were kept as pets. Macarthurmanaged to purchase a few, whichbe took out to Australia, thus lay-ing the foundation of the hugeflocks of merino sheep which havebeen of such great importance tothe Commonwealth. Tie Mac-Arthur commemoration set com-prised three values. 2d red, 8d blue,and 8d purple, end was issued on'November 1. The design shows asits central feature a reproductionfrom # photograph of a merinoram which was sold for the sum of£0OO(Ln record figure. The back-ground to the design consists of a

Old Fairy TalesIn the days when Apollo and

Jupiter and Venus and Diana ruledthe world with the other famousgods and godesses. Mercury waswalking one day in the fields. Hewas the youngest son of the greatJupiter, and his kind heart Wasready with generosity for manysmall creatures. As ■he walkedalong he came upon a tortoisebeneath a bush, and from the busha voice came, saying: “This isChelone, the nymph who waschanged into a tortoise becauseshe was late at Jupiter’s wedding."Mercury picked up the ugly, grin-ning creature and said to it: “Poor,pretty nymph, you will never beinvited to a wedding again. Butgive me your beautiful shell and Iwill make it so that there willnever more bo a wedding or afeast without you.”

Then Mercury took the shell andthreaded it with reeds and slendergrasses, which resounded sweetlyto his touch, and this was the firstlyre known to the gods of Greece.

Through the meadows Mercuryran with his new toy. He had alonging to possess the herd of fineheifers tended by the god Apollofor the king. Now, Apollo wasbusily making music on his fluteand was not taking any notice ofthe cattle grazing on the hill, soas the god played dreamily on,Mercury ran nimbly with his lyre

HOW MUSIC MADE PEACEbeneath his arm and rounded upthe heifers and stole them away.

When Apollo put aside his flutehe was amazed at the disappear-ance of his heifers. He began tosearch and met a peasant whosaid: "In a dream pr not in adream I have seen a child pass byleading 50 heifers up a hill.” Av aysped Apollo, and at the top of thehill he fouhd the heifers in a cave.There also was Mercury; as Apolloreached out to clutch the mischiefmaker and hurl him down, the hill,his hand accidentally touched thelyre that Mercury had made.

“What, is this lovely music?” criedthe delighted Apollo. “Surely itis worth more than 50 heifers.”

Mercury saw his chance at thisand eagerly handed the lyre toApollo, saying: "It is yours; yourshepherd’s flute will do for me.”So together they walked down thehill. Apollo drawing sweet soundsfrom the lyre and Mercury pipingon his now flute. Music had madepeace. At the foot of the hill twoserpents were fighting at the edgeof the forest. Apollo threw his,v.and between them and the snakestwined themselves round it.Mercury seized the strange newrod and took it for his wand, theemblem of peace; and later headded wings to it and to his hatand sandals, and from that time heforsook his music find became themessenger of the gods, flying moreswiftly than the wind.

A HOME FOR LIZARDS(By J.G.A.P.)

If you wish to keep lizards—avery interesting hobby—severaltypes of cage are possible. Onthe whole, the best is one made inthis way. Take an ordinary pack-ing case, one without gaps orcracks is best; but if there arecracks, either nail slats over themor fix stout cloth by means ofcarpet lacks. Out of each side cuta piece a few inches square, vary-ing with the size of the box, andnail or pin (take care that thepoints do not project) wire gauzeover them. (Figure 1.) A sheetof glass should cover the open side,fitting into grooves formed by slatsnailed to the edge so that the glassmay slide up and down. (Figure 2.)

This may cost a few shillings, butwill be worth it. If necessaryclean the inside of the box.

In the case of the skinks andground lizards, a good floor cover-ing is sand at one end and looseblades of grass at the other. Forgeckos (climbing lizards) add -astout twig at one end,

The food varies little with thespecies. For the common lizard asmall saucer of water and anotherof honey will suffice, with an oc-

casional live fly or other insect, butnot more than one a day or thelizard may regret it.

Hallowe’enNutcrack night. All Hallows’ Eve,and Hallowe’en are the namesgiven to October 31, the day be-fore the Feast of All Saints. Untilrecent years, and even lately inrural parts of England, this dayeach year saw the most extra-ordinary rites performed withall appearances of solemn goodfaith. October 31 was believed tobe the day bn which witchcraftheld full sway, the day on whichall people who so wished couldtell the future, see phantoms andindulge in all kinds of mysteries.To be born on this day was be-lieved to be extraordinarily for-tunate; the person so favouredhad power beyond all othermortals, so the people of Englandand Scotland and Ireland believedfor many centuries. The customsof this peculiar day, indeed, seemto belong to pagan days, to thetimes before Christianity wasknown in the land. Cracking ofnuts could tell this; gathering ofcabbages could tell that; and theblindfold choosing of a specialarticle could tell some' otherthing. Witches were thought tohave special power on this day;human beings could go to sleep,and while their bodies lay un-disturbed their spirits could goroaming in far countries. Otherscould demand anything theychose, and if they fully exertedthemselves, could achieve it. Fromearliest times till the end of. lastcentury such beliefs existed. Eachyear on October -31 there weregatherings in the houses for nut-cracking or apple-catchingparties.If a man or a woman or a childwished to know anything of thefuture it could be told by thecracking of nuts. Many ritesshowed a girl the name of theman she would marry; others tolda man the name of his futurewife. Girls and boys spent longwet hours bobbing their heads mtubs of water to catch floatingapples with their teeth; or—iftheir mothers were afraid theymight catch cold—dropping forksfrom a chosen height to spear thebobbing apples. In the darknessothers would go to the vegetablegarden to pull up the first stalkthey touched, and peculiar cal-culations then showed them whatthe size of their fortunes wouldbe Many other strange ritessuch as calling on spirits, hang-ing empty clothes in dark rooms,eating before badly lighted mir-rors all showed some event thatmight be expected with confi-dence. No one now imagines thatthere can. be much importance mthe Hallowe’en witchcrafts; butthey gave people a good excuseto make merry on one more dayeach year.

A Week-End in ParisParis! And 5 a.m. in the faint

light of early dawn! We gather upour bags and stagger sleepily downthe street towards our hotel. Thereare many people about, , all verymuch awake. The little cafe wherewe stop for cups of chocolate andcrisp new croissants is one ofmany which are packed with cus-tomers. Not only coffee and choco-late, but even beer and liqueurs aretossed off at this unusual hour.

We get a few hours’ sleep, andwhen we see the streets again thesun is shining in skies so clear thatwe might fancy ourselves in NewZealand again. But no New Zea-land city has such marvellous trees

as Paris. In the Champs Elyseesthey are turning orange and brown,and their brilliance in the keenautumn sunshine is breathtakingas we suddenly see them from thePlace de la Concorde. The avenuestretches li miles to the Arc deTriomphe, and looks so inviting thatwe determine to walk the wholeway. a concession surely when weknow that we have only four daysto see all Paris.

We turn from the splendid col-our of the trees to admire the lovelyproportions of the Place de laJDon-corde itself. The Seine flows pastthe southern side, and beyond it wecan see the Chamber of Deputies;the Tuileries Gardens, where ManeAntoinette used to walk, face theChamps Elysees; on the north wesee the great modern church, theMadeleine. And in the centrestands an obelisk from Egypt, an-other Cleopatra's Needle as we fromLondon can recognise.

The Arc de Triomphe is of tre-mendous size, and makes theMarble Arch of London seem verytrivial. It was begun by Napoleonin 1806 to celebrate the Battle ofAusterlitz, and finished by LouisPhilippe. Beneath it burns thenever-dying flame which marks thetomb of France’s Unknown Soldier.

When we climb the 264 steps tothe top of the Arc. we are wellrewarded. We understand whythe square in which it stands iscalled the Place de I’Etoile (theStar), for splendid avenues radiatefrom it in every direction, andshow once more that trees are thegreat adornment of Paris. Fromthat height we can see the wholecity and pick out some of its groatbuildings. The great gilded domeof the Hotel des Invalides. the tombof Napoleon, shines gaudily. Highon Montmartre we can see theChurch of the Sacre Coeur, built ofstones sent from every provincein France, so that every Frenchmanwho visits Paris can claim some

(By Freda Cook)part of it as his own. The twotowers and the slender pinnacle ofNotre Dame, the Louvre, the OperaHouse, are easily distinguishable, asis of course the Eiffel Tower, whichis quite close to us in the midst ofthe great 1937 Exhibition, whichstretches for two miles along thebanks of the Seine.

Now we are hungry and thirsty.In Paris at all hours of the day andnight cafes are ready for thethirsty. They look very temptingwith the gaily painted tables andchairs set out on the pavement andprotected from the hot sun by greatparasols. We choose orange scats,lean back, and are soon enjoying

long drinks of very cold, very lightbeer, and eating chunks cut fromlong. thin, crisp loaves, with slicesof ham tucked into the middle. Itis quite different from London,quite different from New Zealand.And it is very exhilarating.

The ExhibitionAll visitors to Paris are invited

to the Exhibition, and we are de-termined to see whether its charmshave been exaggerated. From the31 possible entrances we choose theTrocadero because from it we shallhave the finest view over the greatinternational section.

Just outside the gates is thePeace Pavilion, free to every casualpasser-by. A great green bronzecolumn covered with olive leavesis standing among the flags of the42 nations which have taken partin the Exhibition. Its charts andpictures show that war only bringswaste, that an enormous number.of people, young and old, are stillbravely struggling to prevent thiswaste, and that a study of theworld’s history will prove to thesceptical that progress has beenmade. .

As we go through the mam gateswe suddenly realise the immensityof the scene before us. From thegreat semi-circular terrace we lookdown on the Seine, the Champs deMars, and the myriad designs of thedifferent national palaces. Im-mense, the Eiffel Tower aspiresabove them all, miraculous relic ofthe genius of an older generation.Thousands of gay people are walk-ing there, enjoying the lovely foun-tains and the pools of water in theTrocadero gardens and resting be-tween the labours of sight-seeing.

From this point of view the greatsilver figures of the Soviet Pavilionare most striking. Designed by awoman, they are realistic statuesof a young man and a girl, equallyjoyful and enthusiastic as they lifthigh above their heads their work-ing tools, the hammer and the

sickle. Immediately facing them isthe high tovver.of Germany, onwhich perches the symbolic bronzePrussian eagle. Czechoslovakiahas built entirely in metal andglass; Siam has produced a replicaof a royal palace: Italy shows herwonderful marbles: Hungary,Egypt, the United States of Amer-ica. all thq countries have donetheir best to make even the ex-ternal decorations typical of theirnational greatness.

Inside the pavilions there is suchdisplay that it would take weeksto enjoy it properly. Lovely hand-crafts gladden the eye in the pavi-

lions of the smaller European States,Jugoslavia, Switzerland, the Neth-erlands, Lithuania, Esthonia, andLatvia. Poland, Austria, Jugo-slavia, Germany, Soviet Russiaemphasise more strongly theirindustrial progress. Many coun-tries show model rooms as avivid picture of the comfortsand artistic background in whichtheir people like to live. Japanhas a beautifully furnished flat.Poland has cosy furry furniture andcarpets. An exhibition of all thedolls from the different pavilionswould in itself be an amazing sight.The French specialise in dolls madefrom silk stockings, moulded intocharacter studies. I would dearlylove to buy an old Gaffer sittingin his chair reading his paper toGamma, who knits a grey stock-ing. But, alas! they are too expen-sive for me; about 17s 6d each,which is reasonable enough. Thedolls in national costume vary inquality, some being merely dollsin beautifully made clothes, andsome being real character studies,country lads and shy children,mother in her best dress, fatherholding the baby! Germany spec-ialises in puppets, many of themmechanical.

Spain deserves a special word,for in this sad time of civil warshe has no wealth to spare for elab-orate pavilions, and no time to or-ganise a national effort for an ex-hibition. Her artists have madeher pavilion. Besides a fair collec-tion of native crafts, and a foun-

tain of mercury, their most valuablemineral, from its main Europeansource, Alonader, fine pictures il-lustrate both the tragedy of thepresent -war and the constructivework which the Government is un-dertaking wherever there is suffi-cient stability. . Picasso, the greatleader of modern art, has contrib-uted a huge mural painting, animpression in abstract terms called"The Bombing of Guernica.”

Thousands of Parisians are pic-nicking about the grounds. Theyspread white handkerchiefs overtheir knees, get out their bottles ofwine and their split rolls and save*loys, and thoroughly enjoy them*

A small dolphin that was washedashore some days ago at NewBrighton attracted a good deal ofattention as it lay on the beach. Itwas inaccurately de-scribed as a porpoise, but its pro-jecting beak showed that it was adolphin which, with the more blunt-nosed porpoise, forms a small-sizedsection of the order to which whalesbelong.

These animals look so like - largefish that we need to remind our-

selves constantly that they arewarm-blooded, air-breathing mam-mals in spite of their associationwith the sea. This fact is best im-pressed by an examination of theskeleton which shows that the fore-limbs which are modified arms andhands are quite different from thefin processes of true fish. The Can-

DOLPHINS AND PORPOISES

terbury Museum, in addition to itslarge skeleton of the great bluewhale, possesses a fine collection ofskeletons of the smaller whales anddolphins.

In the accompanying photographthe skeletons shown from left toright are of the species known asthe Cow-fish, the Black-fish, and theStrap-toothed Whale.

A puzzling feature of the lastmentioned is that the two strap-liketeeth in the lower jaw curve round

and grip the upper jaw as the ani-mal advances in age, and it appearsthat in very old individuals of thisspecies the jaws cannot open evento a moderate extent. It would seemthat the life span of this whale is,therefore, regulated by the timetaken by the teethf to grow to theirfull size.

THE EMPIRE OF CHINAChinese civilisation began, as did

that of Egypt, in a number of cityStates on the banks of a river—theHwang-ho (Yellow river). Thiscivilisation spread gradually south-wards to the Yangtse, eastward tothe sea, and westwards, until itreached the pass of Tung-Kwan.long called the Gate of Asia.

Chinese chroniclers speak of adistant time when sinless kingslived to a fabulous age. But at theperiod of the Warring States (475-221 8.C.) the land was dividedamong a number of petty rulerswho spent their time killing eachother and oppressing the peopleunder them.

This anarchy was the more re-gpettpble because the Chinese, un-like the half savage tribes on theirborders, v-ere both educated andhighly skilled in such arts as goldand silver work, making earthen-ware pottery and tiles, and silk-weaving.

One of the rulers of the WarringStates was Ch’in. who lived on thewestern frontier, and had by221 B.C. defeated all his rivals. Hethen assumed the title Shi-Hwang-Ti (First Emperor), and made him-self absolute master of the land.

Because of his many triumnhantwars. Shi-Hwang-Ti has been calledthe Napoleon of China: he beganthe building of the Great Wallalong the northern boundaries as adefence against invaders.

Shi-Hwang-Ti’s chief Minister,Li, helped him to introduce a newsystem of centralised government,with officials responsible to him-self instead of to the lords of theprovinces. Li insisted that unlesspeople ceased to read or to thinkabout the ways of the old dynastythey would never accept the waysof the new. Shi-Hwang-Ti. there-fore, ordered all books written be-

fore his time, except those ondivination, medicine, and agricul-ture. to ba destroyed.

There is no doubt that the firstemneror. “slit-eyed, pigeon-breasted,wolf-voiced, tiger-hearted.” as hispen-picture describes him. was inmanv ways a ruffian. .

A Week*End in Paris(Continued from page 4)

NATURE NOTES

Edith Burgess has sent a plant ofborchound from the MackenzieCountry. There, she says, the plantIs common in sheep camps, and theburrs are often found clinging toclothes or to the wool of the sheep.Actually, in some places the plantIs called bidi-bidi from confusion■with the true native piri-piri or

bidi-bidi. .

The native home of horehound isEurope and the Russian part ofAsia. It is now to be found in mostcountries which have importedsheep from Europe, America, Aus-tralia, and New Zealand, and it istirery probable that it was trans-ported attached to the wool.

■ The word horehound is supposedB be a corruption of harehune, fromSara,1* hoary, and “hune,” honey.Actually, then, it is the plant whichinduces honey, and in which thetens r>nd leaves are covered withibwnji 'airs. It is the commonestfeed 01 the Salvia family, whichincludes such well-known plants asatmint, selfheal,' mint, lavender,|»d rosemary.

.

|Horehound is a perennial herblowing about 18 inches high andSbst easily identified by the squareterns, with spreading branchesuickly covered with the white, cot-pny wool, and the soft, crinkled,ioolly leaves, with a characteristichell when crushed. Whereas theowers of most of the members ofiis family are quite attractive,hose of horehound are small andlirty white in colour. Thpy are0 be found in dense clusters in theocils of the upper leaves. TheaSdyx has 10 small hooked teethWhich become quite dry and hardtfter the corolla falls. It is theBled remains of the calyx contam-ng the seeds which form the burrswhich cling to the wool.Everybody suffers from coughs

Bd colds at some time or other,fed in many parts of England therew scarcely a garden without itsfetch of horehound, from which tofeake preparations to relieve theJhevitoble cold. Horehound tea isfeade by pouring boiling water on

fresh leaves, and sweeteningWith honey. Sometimes the juiceW the herb is pressed out, and this’•* drunk instead of the tea. ManyPeople in New Zealand make hore-nound beer as a cooling summer

using the leaves instead ofhops.

HOREHOUND(By L. W. McCaskill)

Another remedy for coughs is tomake candied horehound. Thefrelh plants are ■boiled to extractthe juice. Sugar is then added,and the material boiled again untilit is of a consistency to be cut intosquares when tool. Gerarde, anold herbalist, said of candied hore-hound, “It is a most singular rem-edy against the cough and wheezingof the lungs. It doth wonderfullyin easing such as have been longsick of any consumption of thelungs." ■

SOLOMON’S SEAL(By Winifred Chapman)

There are some old-fashionedflowers which are never really out-of-date, whose characteristic anaperfect beauty restrains the handof the hybridiser or flower-iiriprover. Such a flower is thefavourite old. ,Solomons Seal orSeal Wort. Year after year theyoung green shoots push up in triespring, and gradually the gracefularching stems .are uplifted, ine

leaves, which are on the upper sideof the stem, are of a tender green,and the flowers hang in clustersbelow it. Their pale. colour isperhaps nearer to green than thatof any other flower. .

The name has an interestingorigin and is said to be derivedfrom the fact that the markings onthe root resemble a Solomon’s Seal,which the Arabs called a star withsix points. As a rule a plant takesits name from some peculiarity otthe flower or leaf or stem, but oc-casionally from something unusualabout the root. Another such ex-ample is the Dog’s Tooth Violetwhich is so named because of theresemblance of the roots to a dog steeth.

Solomon’s Seal is sometimescalled Our Lady’s Signet; theflowers themselves are rather likea minute seal. The arching stemand the hanging flowers have giventwo other old names, David’s Harpand Ladders to Heaven. This lattername is also sometimes applied toLily-of-the-Valley, which it is notunlike. ,

It is said, though I have no proofof it, that the root must be plantedat a certain level below the soiland if planted too deep the rootwill grow upwards in a slanting

direction until the correct level isreached. On the other hand, if »

is planted too near the surface «

will work downwards until it findsthe right place* Certainly .whenSolomon’s. Seal is replanted, 'at al-ways takes a long time to settlein again. Therefore, because ofthis fastidious habit, it iS muchwiser to leave it-alone once it is

planted, so that it can arrange thenn«?ition of its root to suit itself.When it is comfortably settled andits surroundings are to its likin®’

that is, shaded, with good soil to

feed upon, it will soon spread andthe number of.stems increase Asit dies down in winter, care hasto be taken by the gardener diggingnG

In olden days people loved toweave fancies round flowers andfrom the association of ideas, manyquaint sayings arose. Oneof tnestrangest must be that which clingsto the Solomon’s Seal. It was be-lieved to flourish best in a gardenwhere “the missis was master.This may mean that where somewoman did the gardening, the plantthrove, probably because she tookcare to plant it properly and leftit undisturbed.

Solomon’s Seal has a quiet, greenbeautv of which one never tires.Everything about it suggests cool-ness and shade, and such condi-tions if naturally prefers. It is amost graceful plant to grow amongshrubs and trees in shady cornerswhere the rays of the sun wouldseldom reach it. It is also usefulfor naturalising, that is for grow-ing in parts of gardens which areallowed to run a little wild. Forelegance and quiet distinction fewflowers can rival Solomon’s Seal.

The VoiceEVERY MAN’S MUSICAL INSTRUMENT \

(By Averille Lawrence)

inThere are arts in which the voice

is piayecl on in special ways forspecial purposes. Singing aside,these are elocution, reading, publicspeaKing, and acting.

First and foremost in any ofthese, a person must be heard. Itis an unforgiveable sin to be in-audible. The best performance, themost carefully prepared and beau-tifully worded speech is wasted ifit cannot be heard distinctly. Thereis no need to shout or force thevoice. An abundance of breathbehind it will give it strength,since power Is a matter of breathcontrol. Speak out and not up,producing the voice in the frontof the head and throwing it wellforward, as though you were aim-ing to hit the back wajl of theroom or hall In which youspeaking. The greater the need fordistinctness and power, the longerone should dwell onv the vowel

A great deal of indistinctness iscaused through slovenly dictioncareless articulation, slurring oversmall words and running words to-gether. We hear things said whichfound like this: “Boysen girls. Itouehta be done.” “Putcher coaton/’ “A cuppa tea.”

,

Very uglythese are. and simply due to lazi-ness. People will not be botheredto use their lip- and tongues prop-erly. Even if you have a weakvoice there is no excuse for sloven-iv sneech Speech ■ should hecorrect? but not laboriously so;articulation should benot overdone; and small ummporlant words should not be^empha

sised. Affectation is as objection-able and as bad a fault as slovenli-ness. We should strive to speaknaturally, not mechanically.

In reciting, reading, acting orpublic speaking, one should speaka little more slowly tharf in con-versation, for too fast an utteranceis another cause of indistinctness.It is best to vary the pace, makingit sometimes faster, sometimesslower. To be too slow and pon-derous, or to drawl is tiring for thehearer's, as also is a staccato wayof speaking. These should beavoided unless they are employedspecially in acting a character part.Dropping the voice regularly atthe ends of phrases and sentencesproduces a very monotonous effect,and tends > towards indistinctness.

Other common faults are a nasaltone caused by wrong placementof the voice so that too much soundgoes through the nose; narrowingof vowels because the mouth isnot opened sufficiently; lack ofvigour and variation in tone andinflection. We should rememberthe three P’s—pace, pitch, andpower. Then there is another,pause, which can often be the mosteffective part of a speech.

When, in speaking or acting,parts have to be learnt by heart,they should not be allowed tosound as though tjiey are merelybeing recited.

Words should be made to soundas much as possible like the thingthey represent, but should not beexaggerated. Some sounds arebright, some solemn, some soft,some harsh. Take for instancewords like rustle, splash, glorious,whining, gong, howl, shriek. Howexpressive they can be made! Weshould learn to appreciate sounds,the sounds round us, like the songsof the birds, the rustle of winds,the roar of the sea, and the soundsof speech, so that we may learnto pick out the good and bad, andcultivate a quick ear.

Many of the greatest speakershave become famous not by natureof exceptional gifts or by accident,but by education and training.

Some have even had to overcomegreat disabilities. All Greeceflocked to hear Demosth ies; Cicerohad all Rome at his feet. Theirpower was the result of patientpersistence, practice, and infinitelabour. Demosthenes, besides havingto fight against an extremely ner-vous temperament, had three de-fects to overcome. He strengthenedhis weak voice by going down tothe seashore and declaiming amidthe roar of the sea. Shortness ofbreath was remedied by repeatingorations as he walked uphill. Heused to recite or read with pebblesin his mouth to overcome his thick,mumbling, and hesitating utter-ance. Cicero at first failed becauseof weakness of lungs and excessivevehemence in speech, but by study,practice, and discipline he con-quered these defects.

It is not beyond any of us tobecome a reasonably fluent andpleasant reader or speaker, thoughwe may never rise to any heightsas orator, actor, or elocutionist.Anyone can do breathing exer-cises, and the special exercises forvarious faults and defects in speech,and practise daily reading fromgreat authors and orators. Like allour powers of mind and body ourvoices are given us in s state ofimperfection. It rests with us howlar they are to be developed.

The Cobbler of TangierOld Suliman Ben Hassan was the

quietest and most inoffensive cob-bier in the native quarter of Tan-gier. By inoffensive I mean he didnot leap out at you as you passedhis little shop—the smallest shop ofall, about the size of a decent dog-kennel—and stop you and pesteryou to buy a pair of long-toed, softleather shoes or sandals; or per-suade you that your own shoesneeded repairing and that he wasthe best man in the world to doit. He did not call out to you.. Infact, he didn’t seem to do anythingthat all the other cobblers did.not even any cobbling worthy ofthe name. He just sat in the door-way of his tiny ■ shop, and gaveyou a grave smile, and watchedmen and women pass to and froalong the Street of the Cobblers.

Next door to old Suliman wasthe shop of Achmed Abdullah

Smith. Achmed Abdullah Smith’sgreat-great-grandfathbr had been iBritish soldier. So said AchmedAbdullah, and was very proud ofthe fact. Achmed was very differ-ent from old Suliman. He was amuch younger man, he was one ofthose who leapt out and pesteredpeople; he called out and adver-tised himself and the merits of hisworkmanship: his shop was muchbigger, and he seemed to do muchmore business. All sorts of peoplecame to see him at all times ofthe day and night—for there is no40-hour week in Tangier. He soldquite a number of pairs of shoeswith a rather large heel. Achmedthought Suliman Ben Hassan ratheran old fool, and used to try tostir him up at times.

“Why don’t you wake up a bit?”he asked Suliman rudely. “Sitting inthe doorway of your silly little stoopall day long—that’s not the way toget business. Look at me. I amalive, alert. I make myself known.I persuade people that they neednew shoes, and I persuade themto buy them from me. But you,you just sit and smile at them,and let them pass by. What gooddoes that do? Does that bring theminto your shop?”

But old Suliman only smiled aquiet smile into his grey beard.

“I am content, friend Achmed,”he said. “My own customers, theyknow my work. They know it isgood, and when they want a newpair of sandals or their shoes needrepairing they come to me. Thereis no need for me to leap aboutin the street like a goat with thespringtime in its blood. I am con-tent.” ■

That was always the answer, andthen Achmed Abdullah Smithwould give him up as a bad joband continue leaping about fromone passer-by to the other “likea goat.”

Meantime, in another quarter ofTangier, where the offices of theauthorities were situated, there wasa grave problem being consideredI« the office of the Comandante ofTangier there were three men. thrComandante himself, the BritishConsul, and an inspector of •native-police. The British Consul wasspeaking.

“Nevertheless, sir, it is quitetrue. Large quantities of drug?are being smuggled into Tangierand from here they are being dis-tributed and sent to Europe.

"Yes,” replied the Comandante,“yes, Senor Consul. I am aware oi'that unhappy fact. But how andwhere, can you tell me that? Canyou tell me that, Inspector?”

The inspector scratched the backof his head. “No, sir, I can’t tellyou that exactly, but I do knowjhat the place or house where these

(By Norman Borrow)drugs are taken to, and whencethey are distributed, is somewherein the natiye quarter.”

“Somewhere in the native quar-ter,” echoed the Comandante. “Itis not much good, that. The nativequarter, it is a honeycomb oflost alleys and by-ways. Whichalley? Which by-way?”

“I believe I can tell you that,'said the British Consul quietly. “Infact, that is why I have paid myvisit here to-day. One of my Gov-ernment’s secret service agents dis-covered so much by accident. Itwas nothing to do with—er—job hehad in hand, but he came to me.andasked me to pass the informationon to you, sir.”

“Quite right,” said the Coman-danfe, approvingly.

“This man is ayite certain thatthe house you look for is some-where in the Street of the Cob-blers.”

. ,“So!” said the Comandante. “Thenif it is there, it must be a shop—-a cobbler’s shop. There is nothingelse in that street. Inspector—l”

“I understand, sir,” said the in-spector, with a knowing smile. “Fora few days I shall be absent, inthe Street of the Cobblers.”

“Good!” said the Comandante.So it came' about that a new

figure began to walk up and downthat little twisted street, a tallman in loose Arab robes, withquick, alert eyes—the inspector,disguised. Achmed Abdullah Smithjumped out at him once or twicebut soon discovered that here waaone man who could not be bulliedinto buying a pair of shoes he didnot want. Old Suliman Ben Has-san smiled his grave smile, andreceived a pleasant nod in returnAchmed, though he soon found outthat the inspector was no customer,was never unwilling to talk to him,and the conversation generally gotround to the subject of Suliman.

“Look at him,” said Achmed oneday. “He sits there ; and does no-thing. Nothing but smile now andagain. Two pairs of shoes a week—-—will that keep a man rich and hisbusiness prosperous? Then look atme. All the time I am at work.'Die people know Achmed Abdul-lah Smith, they come to him; hisshop is full, hia—* _ ,

But the inspector, had stoppedlistening. “Two pairs of shoes aweek,” he mused. “M’m . , . thatcertainly doesn’t sound very profit-able. And he does not look verybusy. .

.

”

Suliman’s answer was always thesame. “I am content. My owncustomers know me and trust tom The inspector decided to watchSuliman and his shop very closely.It sounded fishy to him. But hecouldn’t be there all the time, andone night two men came to theStreet of the Cobblers, and wentaway again some 10 minutes later.Half an hour afterwards the inspec-tor knew of the visit, and heswooped down on Suliman s shop.The old man was there to receivehim. He smiled his grave, quietS“yoU are of the police, yes?” heaS

“Well, I don’t know how youknow it,” replied the inspector, butI am, and I should like to havea look in your shop.”

“Certainly, Excellency, said-Suli-man, spreading his hands wide.“You look for something?

“Yes,” said the inspector shortly,“I look for something.” But hedid not tell Suliman what He

searched the little shop but foundno drugs nor any traces of drugs.Yet a week later it was knownthat there had been a fresh impor-

tation of forbidden drugs into Tan-gier, and that they had gone outagain.

, .

...

The inspector put on ms Arabrobes and went back to the_ Streetof the Cobblers. Achmed jumpedout at him and inquired the rea-son for his absence. The inspectortold him of a sick brother, andpassed on to Suliman s shop. V,Suliman gave him his calm smile.

“Can you keep a secret, Sun-man?” asked the inspector.

“I keep many. Excellency, wasthe quiet reply.

“I believe vou do. muttered theinspector. “Well, keep mine, willyou?”

„

“I will. Excellency.",

.

However, despite this burst ofunpolicemanlike confidence, the in-spector continued to keep an eyeon Suliman Ben Hassan. For afew weeks, so far as the drug traf-fic was concerned, Tangier wasquiet. Then, one night, the in-spector received word that the sametwo mysterious men bad been seenin the Street of the Cobblers. Hehurried immediately te Sulimans

shop, and again Suliman was there,,to welcome him. ;

“I’m not going to beat about the ;bush any longer, Suliman. You ;

know me and what I am. and youknow why I am here.”

“You look for something still, ■perhaps?”

,

..

“I look for drugs,” was the sboi?reply. “You know it, but this timeyou can’t' have got rid of theoi.You haven’t had time.” .„>■■■

Quickly but thoroughly thespector searched the tiny shopwhile Suliman looked on imper-turbably. ,

“Well, I’ll be jiggered!” mur-mured the inspector. “No sign ofthepi, yet they must be here.” ■'j-;.

“Perhaps you look in the wrongplace. Excellency,” suggested Suli-man.

,-

“Eh? What do you mean? ’ askedthe inspector.

“Perhaps if you looked next door,in the shop of Achmed AbdullahSmith? A very busy man WAchmed Abdullah Smith; too busy! -

The inspector stared at him fora moment. “Ah!” he said, andwhMed to the shop next door. Itwas in darkness and there wasapparently no one inside, but theinspector forced open the door, and,looking about with an electric torchin his hand, discovered the busyAchmed hiding under the counter-;

“Come out of that,” snapped theinspector. He clicked a pair o*handcuffs on the man’s wrists, andsat him in a corner. “Don’t yop:try to get away,” he warned hint“or you’ll get hurt. Keep an eygon him, Suliman.” :V

A search of Achmed’s shop, how-ever, failed to reveal any sign*of drugs. The inspector, worried,scratched the back of his head-

“Perhaps. Excellency,” came thdsoft voice of Suliman from tMgloom, “you do not look in theright place.” . ,

“Well, where?" demanded the In-spector. “Don’t be so beastlypatient Suliman. If you knowwhere they are hidden, tell me,

“I don’t know where they arehidden. Excellency, but perhapssome of those shoes—Achmed Ab-dullah Smith seems to sell a cer-tain kind of shoe at night tinie-Shoes with rather large heels. Sucna pair as this. Excellency , . '

The inspector pounced upon tnsshoes and examined them closely.He tore the heels off. They werehollow, and inside them was a cer-tain quantity of the forbiddendrugs.

. ,“I see,” said the inspector slowly.“So you’re the receiver and_«wsmuggler, are you, Achmed? WeUpI think your little game is finished.

As indeed it was, for AchroeaAbdullah Smith and the twostrange men were later taken totrial, and it was there proved Wthe hilt that they were the smug-glers. A little time later the in-spector saw Suliman again.

.

“But tell me,” the inspector asked;him, “how did you know?”

Suliman Ben Hassan smiled hj»wise smile.

.. w.“Excellency, I am content to»

an honest man and do honest wots.My customers are not numerous,but they know me, they trust tomy work and they bring tneurepairs to me. It is not very muen,but enoueh, and I am content.

THE PLUNDERING OF SIRROWLAND BOWL

Part IIThe Plunder

It rained the next day and thedusty yellow road became stickyand streaked with long lines ofpaddles: and Nicky and Jinnyheard the rain on the roof and carssplashing through the pooled streetsand knew that they must wait untilalTthe water had dried up. Atnijdrt, a few stars shone through®illnrislands of clouds. Then a windblew all the islands out of sightleaving many stars and a moon, andin the morning it was again hot and*UMjy so that by mid-day the grassand the yellow gravel were drythough to walk on. About anhour afterwards, doors in the valleybegan to open and shut. Manysandalled feet hurried down thestreets and lanes. Voices, excitedand chattering, sounded throughoutwe valley. A man unloading cauli-Qowctg from his truck looked to thehill road., "Wjere are the children going?”“Mjsked himself, for a steadypOOffl of boys and girls v/as mov-ing over the yellow gravel.

(By Helen Shaw)ened as she walked past thejaponica trees. She came to thewindows and stood on tip toe.There sat Sir Rowland. His mous-tache twitched, his left eyebrowfrowned, and his right handtrapped in a sort of regular ,rhythm.Jinny watched. Twitch, frown,tap. Twitch, frown, tap. He wassleeping.

, c.

_

She lifted up her hand. Shebanged the diamond pane so hardthat Sir Rowland woke up.

“Good afternoon, Sir RowlandBowl. There are sweets, candies,and chocolate fish in my basket.Would you like to buy some.Jinny'said loudly,, holding up herbsskct

Sir Rowland advanced closer tothe window. He was rather crossat being disturbed in his sleep, buthe liked sweets so much that hisknees felt quite wobbly*with excite-ment and his moustache twitchedas he peered through the window.Jinny lifted up one corner of thelinen cover. Sir Rowland sawrows of coconut marshmallow balls,fudge stuck over with .pieces otwalnut, Squashy white and redTurkish delight and chocolate fishwith raisin eyes and jelly tails. Hiseyes grew misty. He turned andran outside and opened the door.“Come in, come in,” he called, andNicky from his rock below thegates saw Jinny enter the housefollowed by the fat old man whomade toy kites.

While Nicky gave the cry of“Sweets, candies, and chocolatefish,” to the children sitting roundthe cabbage tree, Sir Rowlandpicked out the marshmallow ballsand the squashy Turkish delightwith a pair of silver tongs, drop-ping each piece into a glass dish,the colour of amber. Through thewindow Jinny could see a longprocession creeping higher andhigher up tfie yellow road. Nickywould soon be at the gate. SirRowland had filled his mouth withsweets. A grain of sugar sparkledon one hair of his moustache. He

began to fumble' in his pocket.Jinny stepped nearer.

“We do not want money for thecandies, Sir Rowland. We Ayantyour kites and boats."

Sir Rowland swallowed his sweetsin two gulps. He tapped one handnervously on his chair arm.

“You must not ask me for them,”“Why not?” said Jinny. Then sheleant towards him, and whisperedin his right ear. “My dear SirRowland Bowl, you are too old toplay with kites or boats. They willhang here year after year and thesun will fade all the bright redsand greens and spiders will weavewebs over the sails and wings, anddust will collect on the paper. Theyare gay and new now. In anotheryear, even you will be tired ofyour faded, dirty columns of toys;and to-day , all. the .children fromthe valley have walked up yourroad to take these kites out on tothe hill and these boats to theponds.”

Sir Rowland was so surprisedthat he lay in his chair staring atJinny but of his gold-rimmed spec-taclcs

“Look here,” she continued.“They are here now.”

He did look and he saw manyfreckled rosy faces pressed upagainst his windows. He saw theScraps of coloured paper specklingthe floor. He saw his little boatsreflected in the polished table-top.He stood up, but his knees wobbledand his heart thumped, and bythe time he had sat down againhe knew that it was too late. Thecandy-seller had tricked him.

Nicky pushed up the window andvaulted over the ledge into SirRowland’s room. The children fol-lowed him, laughing and pointingat the columns hanging from thebeams. They jumped up to pullthem down. Some chose the birdkites, some the aeroplane ones,others the plain ones with the crossand arrow designs, and others thegreen-sailed boats.

In less than five minutes theywere streaming through the win-dow, over the lawn, and out on tothe hill. There was nothing left inhis room but torn paper and piecesof string, and’Jinny’s sweets in theamber dish.

But all across the hill the kiteswere flying, their tails fluttering,

their scarlet and gold bodies leap-ing and plunging as the windcaught them. The air seemed fullof gay tropical birds rising above adwarf jungle of clover and tussockgrass. Many figures crouchedover the pond in Sir Rowland s cowpaddock. Little boats bobbedacross it.

The boy began to drive his cowsup through the clover. Theirhooves clopped on the concreteyards as they were hustled intotheir bails. It was late. One behindthe other the children filed downthe yellow gravel road carryingtheir kites and boats.

Nicky and Jinny were the last toreach the valley. They had runback and looked through the win-dow. Inside the beams were barewithout their coloured kites, al-though the floor was still speckledwith paint drops. Sir Rowland sat.in his red velvet chair, twirling hiswhite moustache and peering frombehind his gold-rimmed spectaclesat one little yellow-sailed boatwhich bobbed across water in agreen wooden tub. Something sliddown Sir Rowland’s cheek.

“What is that?” said N'cky.“Do you think it might be a tear

because we plundered his room?”Jinny whispered.

“Nonsense. Sir Rowland haswhite hair. He is much too wise tocry.”

“Look!”He had stretched out his hand for

the basket of sweets which Jinnyhad forgotten. Lifting it on to hislap he looked under the pink cover,shook the basket, picked out alarge chocolate snowball filled withpink sweet marshmallow, popped itinto his mouth, munched it slowlyand tilted his head back against hischair.

“You were right, Nicky. It wascertainly not a tear. He is smilingat the thought of the marshmallow.”

Sir Rowland Bowl closed his eyes.His moustache twitched. His lefteyebrow frowned. His right handtapped., “Twitch, frown, tap. Good-night,

Sir Rowland,” Jinny said softlyand she and Nicky ran past thejaponica trees and the duck whichnow slept, and down the yellowroad towards the red roofs of thevalley houses. .

CITY THEATRES

NEW FILM COMING

ADVENTURE ANDROMANCE

PROGRAMME FOR AVON

History, romance, and adventure arecombined in the Warner Bros.’ filmversion of Mark Twain’s immortal“The Prince and the Pauper,” whichis coming to the Avon.

Former stage presentations of theclassic have been hampered somewhatby the necessity of having the twotitle roles played by one actor<**(oractress). And in the silent film ver-sion, trick “shots” and double ex-posures were used. But the Mauchtwins. Billy and Bobby. 12-year-oldactors of no mean dramatic ability,have solved that problem. Billy andBobby are identical twins. Whatcould be more fitting than that Bobbyshould play young Prince Edward,heir to the Throne of King HenryVIII, and that Billy (whom peoplewill remember as young “AnthonyAdverse”) should play Tom Canty, thepauper boy who looked exactly likethe Prince?

All the colour and drama ot six-teenth century England is brought tolife on the screen, and the magnificentcoronation scene in which the pauperboy, who has exchanged identitieswith the Prince, is almost crownedKing of England, is one of the mostdramatic scfen moments of recentyears.

„ , *

Miles Hendon, soldier of fortuneand befriender of the two boys, isportrayed by Errol Flynn, fresh fromhis triumphs in “The Charge of theLight Brigade” and “Green Light.Claude Rains, master villain of thescreen, plays the rascally old Earl ofHertford, and Barton MacLane is thepauper boy’s thieving father

Phyllis Barry (as a barmaid). AlanHale. Robert Adair. Henry Stephensonand Halliwell Hobbes are among the-upporting cast.

In the film, the coronation of Ed-ward VI is an expensive rite. The cos-fumes alone are said to have cost over£25 000. More than 5000 people, in-cluding 35 nrincioals. appear in thesescenes. The set itself is a detailedduplicate of the main portion of West-minster Abbey. Wall hangings arehand-made reproductions of the origi-nals. Most of the small “props" arepriceless museum pieces. Sixty-onecarpenters, plasterers, and paintersworked 23 days on the construction ofthe set. .

~

Other spectacular settings in thefilm are Royal palaces, an extrava-gant banquet hall. In which HenryVIII seats several hundred guests.Royal apartments, a’ richly-decoratedThrone room, several streets in Lon-don’s slums, and a small English vil-lage built about a sixteenth centuryinn * xCurrent Film

“I Met Him in Paris” is filledwith scenes of gay night life in thrgayest city in the world, but th° pro :ducers of the film, which is:

now having a season at the Avon, {have not relied solely on the at- jtractions of Paris for their attractive-1ness of the film. j

MAYFAIR |

“ANGEL’S HOLIDAY” IiI

By playing the part of a detective,!Jane Withers gives a new turn to the;detective story in “Angel’s Holiday ”

the film which is showing at the May-fair Theatre this week. It is doubtfulIf the methods of any screen detectivehave ever pleased an audience more.Jane enters upon the task of bringingkidnappers to book with a mixture ofchildish shrewdness and a supremeconfidence in her own ability whichgives a remarkably lively turn to theadventure and keeps the mood of theaudience alternating between feelings iof suspense and amusement. She lakes;a hand in the romantic interest, too !making a quaint but very entertain-ing third party in the triangle in whichthe principal figures are Robert Keniand Joan Davis.

CRYSTAL PALACE

NEW COMEDY

JoeE. Brown is a comedian of whomit may be said that his fees has beenhis fortune, and the new film coming

to the Crystal Palace Theatre giveshim ample scope to demonstrate hisinimitable art. The film is When sYour Birthday?" The story is a hilar-ious version of everyday astrology andfortune-telling. The comedian is athis best. , , , ,

Joe Brown finds trouble when hetakes part in a boxing match againstthe advice of the stars. He loses hisjob and. on refusing to marry m July,loses his fiancee. A capricious Zodiaclead? him from bad to worse. He losesone job after another: but is finallytaken by the stars into a new romancewith Marian Marsh. However, troublestarts again when his former fianceecompromises him From one ludicroussituation to another. Joe blundersthrough the vicissitudes of fate.

Brown’s uncanny predictions, how-ever, rescue him in the most oppoi-tune manner from all the dejectionto which he sinks. He becomes recog-nised for his novel "powers” andrealises his ambition by becoming the"social lion” at a large garden partyattended by all the notable people ofthe town. Styling himself anastrologei*, Joe determines to dress thepart and goes to the party in Persiangarb. It is at the party, however, thathis sweetheart and his former fianceemeet, and the garden party turns intoa settir" for the .eternal triangle—thecomic version of it.

Although the science of astrologyhas been treated solely from thecomedy aspect, great care was exer-cised in the production of the film tosee that every allusion of astrology

was correct, and that there would beno lapse from correct terminology andapplication.

„ ,„

.Besides the principals, Fred Keat-

ing, Edgar Kennedy, and Minor Wat-son are included in the cast

Current ProgrammeA new Western picture which re-

tains the excitement, action, andthrills of the old—“North of the RioGrande”—is having a season at theCrystal Palace. "You Can’t Buy Luck,”a murder mystery, completes the pro-gramme.

CIVIC

“BIG FELLA”

The management has announcedthat no pictures will be shown at theCivic Theatre to-day, but the currentprogramme will have an extendedseason.

Paul Robeson’s strong and richly-melodious voice has never beenheard to greater advantage than inhis latest film “Big Fella.” which nowforms the programme at the CivicTheatre. Those who were captivatedby his fine singing in “Show Boat”and “Sanders of the River,” willbe more than pleased by his outstand-ing performance in this film.

Robeson is a capable actor as well asa great singer and “Big Fella” provideshim with an onportunity to show hiswork in both directions. His strikingpersonality dominates the film, makingevery scene in which he appears oneto be remembered. At the same timethere is plenty of scope for the workof other players and the film has acast which is worthy of the leadingplayer.

The scenes of “Big Fella” are laidin the underworld of Marseilles, acrude but colourful background for anexciting story. Robeson has the pic-turesque role of a waterfront charac-ter, who has achieved great popularityin the cabarets, where he is thehumble admirer of an attractive artiste(Elizabeth Welsh), a negress who re-mains faithful to him.

PLAZA

NEW FILMS

"Moonlight on the Prairie,” with thesinging cowboy, Dick Foran, in theleading role, and “Make Way for To-morrow," with Victor Moore andBeulah Bondi, are the two films com-ing next to the Plaza.

“Make Way for To-morrow” is apleasant story of family life: but mostinterest will be in the film with DickForan as the star. There is somethingincompatible, in many people’s minds,in the combination of a western storyand singing heroes, and the films havebeen facetiously described as “horse-operas.” Foran. however, more thanother stars, has made the films a suc-cess, In this story, Foran is the sing-ing cowboy star of a "Wild Westshow.” He is unjustly accused of themurder of a ranch owner, and theowners by the dead man’s will ar-rive lo find that the ranch has beenseized by rustlers. Foran intervenes,in the hope of restoring justice; butthe accusation of murder is turned toaccount by the unscrupulous leader ofthe rustlers, and furious encountersfollow. The climax is exciting.

1 The second story forms a happycontrast. The theme is built roundtwo old people who have to live, un-wanted, in the homes of their chil-dren. Melodrama is mingled withtouches of pathos and relieved attimes with highly amusing situations

Current ProgrammeThe Plaza Theatre has resounded

with sustained laughter duringthe screening of “Storm in a Teacup.”the British production which has en-joyed’ a successful season at the AvonTheatre. Much was expected of thisplay, and the anticipations of the

1 audience were fully realised. The pic-I ture was excellently produced, and the

' highly diverting story was {lnterpretedI by a cast of unusual brilliance.

| A supporting subject is theI Walt Disney cartoon, “Three LittleWolves.”

STATE

“SHALL WE DANCE”

“Shall We Dance,” now showing fora season at the State Theatre, is thelatest Astaire-Rogers success. Itmore than maintains the brilliantstandard of all the productions in whichthese talented dancers and comedianshave appeared. It has been said that“Shall We Dance” is the last picturein which Fred Astaire and GingerRogers will appear as a team buttheir admirers will hope more thanever after eeing the picture that thereis no truth in this, for it seems impos-sible to tire of them They have noequal on the screen to-day in theirspecial type of entertainment. As-taire has always had a charm of hisown, and Ginger Rogers is now in-

! dispensable.I Added interest is given to the filmby the association of George Gershwin,whose untimely death occurred re-cently. Gershwin was one of As-taire’s closest friends when both werecomparatively unknown, and theyhelped each other to attain their pres-ent eminence. A notable successcame to Gershwin, Astaire, and hissister Adele on the American stagebefore the days of talking pictures,and the association of the composerand the dancer in “Shall We Dance”was the realisation of a common ambi-tion. It is a most happy combination,and some of the song hits are outstand-ing, particularly ‘‘Let’s Call the WholeThing Off,” a lyric which is mostamusingly worded.

CHRISTCHURCH CINEMAS.LIMITED

“After the Thin Man,” starring Wil-1Hum Powell and Myrna Loy, a mys-

tery-comedy. is showing this week atthe Regent Theatre. The film is asuccessor to the earlier success. “TheThin Man.”

“Tail Timbers" heads the programmeat the Majestic Theatre this week. Thestars are Shirley Ann Richards andFrank Leighton. This picture is acolourful romance set against the finebackground of timber country.

| At the Tivoli Theatre this week1“Three Smart Girls" is being screenedon a return season The main attrac-tion is the fine singing of the leadingplayer, Deanna Durbin, but there Lalso some fine acting, notably by AliceBrady and Charles Winninger.

Boris Karloff is starred in “NighiKey.” a mystery film which ads theprogramme at the Liberty Theatre thisweek. The second attraction is “DodgeCity Trail.” starring Charles Starrett

The Grand Theatre this week isshowing “Sweet Music,” with RudyVallee and Ann Dvorak. Also on theprogramme is “White Cockatoo,” withRicardo Cortez and Jean Muir.

THE LIEDERTAFEL

AN “AT HOME” HELD

PART-SONGS AND CHORUSES

A programme of part-songs andchoruses, mostly of a robust character,was given by the Liedertafel lastevening, when the choir held an “AtHome” in the Radiant Hall. It was inthese more stirring songs that thechoir excelled, singing with obviousenjoyment and with good accent andrhythm. Yet these qualities, the forceand drive, were the cause of some ex-cess of tone, coming close to the bor-derline at which quality gives way toquantity. Some real pianissimo sing-ing was heard in “The Old Woman.”by H. S. Robertson, this proving a verypopular item.

The most important work was theBrahms “Alto Rhapsody,” with MissMyra Sutton as soloist. Lacking or-chestral colouring and support, thesoloist had a hard task in the openingsolo, the effect being much improvedwith the entry of the chorus voices.It is to be hoped that the choir willlet us hear more of these larger com-positions. “Non Nobis Domine” (Quil-ter). “A Smugglers’ Song” (Paul Ed-monds), “Sailors’ Chorus” (Wagner),“O, No John” (arr. Thiman), ana“Fol-dol-do” (Armstrong Gibbs) wereall sung with fine precision, finish, andclear enunciation. “Down in Alabama”(Paul Edmonds) and “Parting Song”(Alfred Worsle/) completed the pro-gramme, and in these good tone colourand shapely phrasing were heard.

Harp and ’cello in combination arerarely heard, so the duets played byMiss Nancy Estall and Mr H. G. Glay-sher were greatly enjoyed, the first,“Ave Maria” (Schubert), proving themost successful from a musical view-point, the limpid arpeggios making alovely background for the rich 'cellotone. Other numbers were “Songs MyMother Taught Me” (Dvorak), and“Road to the Isles” (Hebridean folk-song).

Mr Alan Hobbs sang Mallinson’s‘Beautiful Beatrice” rather hesitat-ingly and at too slow a tempo, butwith good, clear words. ..Stanford’s“There’s a Bower of Roses,” from the“Veiled Prophet.” gave Mr S. Andrewsopportunity to show his dramatic giftand excellent sense of rhythm. Slightfaults in intonation marred muchvery good work. Mr Mawson Stewartgave plenty of pressure to his singingof “Captain Harry Morgan” (Bantock)and his encore, “The Vagabond” (R.V. Williams).

The choir was under the directionof Mr Victor C. Peters, and the ac-companiments were ably played byMiss Gwen McLeod.

“LET’S GO PLACES”

LONDON REVUE COMPANY’SSEASON

Sir Benjamin Fuller’s latest pre-sentation is a typical London WestEnd revue, the Bertram MontagueCompany. A season will open at theSt. James’ Theatre on Saturday, No-vember 6. The company promisessomething out of the c,dinary.

The Montague Show enjoyed success-ful South African and Australian sea-sons, and its success has been con-tinued since. The artists alone pro-vide an outstanding attraction; butcombined with them are the unusualbackgrounds, clever lighting effects,and the famous Damora ballet.

A remarkable dancing combination,the Damora troupe of Hungariandancers comprises girls whose agesrange from 16 to 20 years. Some wereas long as 10 years at the Damoraschool of dancing in Budapest. Twoare keen skiers, and some are skatersOne of them. Miss Rosita Rona, wondistinction in the swimming section forHungary at the Olympic Games inBerlin last year. All have some musi-cal ability on the piano or with theviolin, and painting and drawing areamong their accomplishments. One isa caricaturist. Another, Miss L. Sze-keres, has a romantic background, forshe is the daughter of a Russian prin-cess and an officer of the Hungarianarmy.

The troupe’s stage accomplishmentsare undeniable; but the Damora balletis not the sole attraction. The star ofthe company Ls George Doonan, famousLondon comedian, and one of he fore-most exponents of the new “dress-suit’’acts. His comedy is lively, and comprises witty repartee and perhaps notaltogether unexpected climaxes. Bar-bara Vernon takes another prominentpart in the entertainment She playedthe name part in the London produc-tion of “No. No, Nanette,” last yearOthers who assist include Catherine

Stewart, vivacious comedienne; Jewelland Warriss, English cotnedians; theBlenders, singers of stage, screen; apdradio fame; the Two Rogues, screencomedians and dancers; MargaretKelly, soprano; Alma Mackie, the“different dancer.” arid a versatile andcompetent ballet of 30 beautiful girls

The first production will be LetsGo Places.”

The box plans will open at the D.I.C.on Tuesday.

The yarding includedtwo trucks of extra prime bullocks fromthe north, but the majority were ofmedium quality, with the usual proportionof cows and heifers.

FAT SHEEPThe entry fn the fat sheep section

showed a substantial increase on that oflast week, numbering about 5250 headcompared with 4500. The fact that nextweek is the double market prior to theholiday was doubtless responsible for theincreased penning. Very few of thewethers were In the wool, and the bulkof the ewes were also shorn. There wasa good showing of quality sheep. Themarket was a very sound one in spiteof the heavy penning. Local butchersbought slightly ahead of requirements Inview of the holiday, and there was somebuying on account of the West Coast re-tail trade. Shorn wethers fully main-tained recent good prices, although therewas a slightly easing tendency for ewes.In the earlier part of the sale values wereup to Is lower than at the precedingmarket, but the relapse was fully recov-ered, particularly for quality sheep in thelast two or three races. The entry wasscattered over the store sheep and fatlamb section, many of the pens beinglightly filled. Top price for wethers was37s 7d for a shorn pen of four fromJoseph Langley (Rakaia). A pen of 13shorn ewes from H. Hirst (Rakaia) soldat 32s Id.

FAT CATTLEThe entry in the fat cattle section

showed a considerable advance on that of

last week, the number being 523 head,compared with 410. Outside entries In-

cluded several outstanding lines fromSouth Canterbury, and a few truck lotsfrom South Otago. With these exceptions

the quality was of an average standard,much of the entry comprising rather plainsteers and ordinary cows, with a propor-tion of rough sorts. The market openedat a decline of about 20s a head on therates of last week, though there weremany occasions in which this differencewas reduced. Some pens of medium-weightprime cattle sold at very little less thai,

a week ago, and averaged up to 42s 6d per 11001b. These were the exceptions, how-ever, the general easing for heavy and in-ferior cattle being 20s a head, the de-mand slackening rather sharply m thefinal stapes. A line of 14 steers from IvorGray (Kaituna) averaged £lB, the topprice being £l9 17s 6d. E. Woodill (Aka-roa) sold four heifers at £l4 17s Gd

VEALERSThe entrv in the vealer section was

smaller than that of last week. It com-prised many mediocre and store quality ,beasts, there being a few medium run-ners and good prime vealers penned Forthe small showing of these there was keencompetition. The sale commenced atabout last week’s rates but eased over thefinal stages, being down by 3s to 4s ahead. Nevertheless, there was a completeclearance for anything fit for butchers’ re-quirements.

Values were:—Extra good runners, to £9 Gs.Heavy runners. £5 Is tp £G 11s.Medium runners. £3 4s to £4 13s.Prime vealers, £3 15s to £5 6s.Medium vealers, 40s to £3.Calves, 14s to £2 15s.

STORE CATTLEThe entry in the store cattle section was .

lifted out of its ordinary standard of odds jand ends by the Inclusion of some stationlines of well-bred cattle. For these, num- ;bering 122 from St. James’ Station, therewas a spirited demand from a much largercircle of buyers. The cattle had comethrough the winter in fair condition.Thirty-eight Hereford cows sold at from£4 10s to £4 12s Cd, 45 Hereford steers at£5 17s to £7 6s, and 49 Hereford-BlackPoll cross steers at £5 14s to £7 ss. Oddpens of store cows also sold well, makingfrom £5 10s to £6 ss, moderate sorts from£3 to £4 10s, and potters at £2 10s. Apen of 10 four-year bullocks sold at £916s, and a good-sized line of 28 two andthree-year steers at from £8 5s to £813s 6d. Five pedigree dual purpose Short-

horn bulls sold at from 8& guineas to 13Jguineas.

DAIRY CATTLEThere was a medium entry of 75 head

forward in the dairy section. Altogetherit was a poor-class entry, outstandingcows being few, and quality heifers beingalmost entirely absent. The sale was dullthroughout, the market being back byabout 15s a head for ordinary cattle, andslightly more for better-class sorts.

FAT PIGSThe porker entry was of medium size,

The outstanding advantages of using “Reverted*are:—

1. The sustained growth of the crops in manycases right into the Winter months.

2. The higher feeding value of the crops.

M Glowing reports of the success of “Reverted” ingrowing Turnips, Rape, Kale, Chou Moellier, comefrom all parts of the South Island. In Canterbury,“Reverted” has revolutionised the growing ofTurnip Crops.

@ Turnips need phosphate—it is the first essential. . . “Reverted” enables you to sow worthwhilequantities with the seed. This not only doublesthe volume and value of the crop, but also assuresa maintenance of ail important residual fertilityin the soil afterwards.

3. The avoidance of serious germinationinjury to the seed.

All the record crops in the South Island have been grownwith “Reverted” or with the SPECIAL “ANTI-CLUB-ROOT”Turnip Mixture, which has Reverted Phosphate as its mainingredient. Sow 3cwt to the acre. On heavy land more canprofitably be used.

A When ridging Swedes, sow the utmost quantity of “Revertedor “Anti-Club-Root” Mixture through the front box of theridger and Jicwt with the seed.

The PressTHURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1937.

The Budget DebateAs a debating speech, the Hon. Walter Nash s

reply to the Budget debate was able and effec-

tive, few of the specific criticisms made by

members of the Opposition being left un-

answered. But, wisely from his own point of

view, the Minister confined himself completelyto his critics in the House of Representativesand made no attempt to deal generally with the

present state of the public finances. The weak-ness of a speech of this sort is that it cannot rise

much above the level of the debate as.a whole;and it must be admitted that the debate was a

poor one. It is many years since a weakerBudget has been presented to the House of Re-presentatives; yet the attack somehow frittereditself away on points of minor importance. Onereason why the 1937-38 Budget is a bad one is

that it had to be thrown together in a hurry.

Mr Nash was in London for the greater part of

the year and returned only about a fortnight

before the opening of the session. In the cir-cumstances he had no option but to repeat his

Budget of the previous year with a few unim-portant alterations. But even if he had been

able to spend more time in the preparation of

the Budget, he v/ould not have been able tomake substantial changes because half the fin-ancial year had already elapsed and commit-ments had been entered into which virtuallyforbade alterations in rates of taxation. It is

surely a ludicrous situation when the Ministerfor Finance is able, in the course of the Budget

debate, to announce the revenue and expendi-ture figures for the first half of the financialyear covered by the Budget. It is much to be

regretted that these points completely escapedthe notice of the Government’s critics. Afterall, something more than party politics is in-

volved. Parliament is invested with wide

powers of control over public finance; it must

sanction every item of expenditure and speci-fically approve every tax that is levied. But

the present practice of bringing down the

Budget half-way through the financial year is

reducing Parliamentary control of the nationalfinances to a farce. In effect, Parliament merely

gives an empty approval to what has already

been done. Mr Nash did not deal with this

matter because no one in the House of Repre-

sentatives asked him to. The omission shouldbe repaired when the annual report of the

Auditor-General comes up for discussion. There

will never be an effective curb on public spend-ing in New Zealand until the Budget is bi-ought

down no later than the end of April. That may

mean re-arranging Parliamentary sessions,

altering the methods of the Treasury, and

establishing a rule that the Minister for Financeshall not leave the country during April. The

Budget is, or should be, the most importantpolitical event of the year; and the date of its

presentation oughtnot to be altered, sometimesby months, to suit the Government’s conveni-ence.

There are, perhaps, only two points on which

the Minister failed to answer his critics; but

they are both important. In the first place, he

did not explain why the Government’s taxationpolicy continues to diverge so widely from its

promises. The Prime Minister has condemnedthe incidence of taxation in vigorous terms. Yet

after nearly two years in office the Governmenthas done nothing to improve the situation, has

in fact made it worse by placing a heavier

burden on the lower salaried classes. The PrimeMinister also undertook to reduce taxation and

to eliminate the sales tax. Mr Nash is nowmaking a virtue of high taxation. It is, appar-

ently, the old/foolish theory of redistributingwealth by taxation. “ If some people have more“ than they need to build up a certain standard“of life,” says Mr Nash, “ it is good for some“of that to be taken away in taxation and

“passed on to the people who can use it.”Whether that is true or not does not much mat-

ter, since it is irrelevant. The great bulk of thetax revenue of New Zealand comes from those

on relatively low incomes. Mr Nash claimsthat the Government is “using the money ob-“ tained from taxation in a way that will prob-“ ably stimulate prosperity more than if we did“ not take it.” It can be agreed that high ta;xrevenue is enabling the Government to main-tain an unprecedented level of public expendi-ture and thus to accentuate a boom caused inthe first place by high export prices. What the

Minister does not seem to realise is that it maybe dangerous and short sighted to “ stimulate“ prosperity” in a time such as the present.

The other point on which the Minister failedto meet his critics was the Government’s failureto declare a policy for safeguarding secondary

industry. He began by accusing representativesof the manufacturers of being “ grossly unfair ”

to the Government and of exaggerating their

difficulties. In support of this last charge hequoted figures showing that certain industrieshad a record output in the year ended March31, 1937. Much can happen in six months; andit should surely be possible for the Govern-ment to produce figures which will either proveor disprove the manufacturers’ case. Theanonymous individual opinions quoted by theMinister prove nothing. It is significant, how-ever, that the Minister admits that some manu-facturers may need assistance and that theGovernment will give them assistance. Whatform is this assistance to take? The Govern-ment’s policy as it . affects farmers has beenclearly formulated; manufacturers are equallyentitled to know where they stand.

Physical Welfare andRecreation Bill

The Hon. W. E. Parry, who is responsible forthe Physical Welfare and Recreation Bill, hasnever succeeded in explaining distinctly whyhe wanted the national council which is nowprovided for, or what he expected it to do that

could not be done more simply. The bill itselfturns out to be little less hazy; but it also turnsout to be an instrument which may promote agood deal of major and minor extravagance.Apart from provision for the appointment of aphysical welfare officer and “ such other officers“as may be considered necessary,” which is apretty open order, the bill contains provisionssuch as the following: for the council to makerecommendations on the need for new or addi-

tional facilities and on the method of meeting

the need; for the council to examine and con-

sider proposals and applications for grants; forthe Minister to make grants to local authoritiesand voluntary organisations to provide physicaland recreational facilities, such as gymnasiums,playing fields, swimming baths, bathing places,holiday camps, camping sites, and buildings

required by organisations interested in physicaltraining and sport; for the Minister to makegrants, also, towards the expenses of localauthorities or voluntary organisations for the

training and supply of instructors and leadersand towards the general or specific funds of

any voluntary organisation; and for localauthorities to raise money for such purposes, byspecial order, without polls of ratepayers. Theseare wide sanctions for the spending of publicmoney; and those local bodies and other orga-

nisations to which they apply will naturally re-gard the measure as an advertisement of money

to be given away. That, of course, is preciselywhat it is; and it will not fail to attract appli-cations in plenty. For one which is moderateand well grounded, it may be estimated, adozen or a score will be bold, greedy, and speci-ous; and the circumstances do not encourage ex-pectation of such a sifting of claims as will andmust reject all but the fully meritorious ones.So far, and broadly, the bill is an invitation tothe public to see how big a subsidy is to be

got out of the State towards their pleasure andsport. The greatest safeguard that appears inthe bill is the provision under which the coun-cil will review existing facilities for physicaltraining and recreation and advise the Minister

of deficiencies. If this review is efficiently car-ried out—a heavy task—it will enable the coun-cil and the Minister to see, region by region,what classes of application may be dismissed

almost at sight and wffiat are likely to deserveconsideration. But the review, if it is to furnishresults that may be trusted, will have to beguided by a conservative principle : that insport and recreation, generally, people shouldhelp themselves to the utmost before they arehelped. Otherwise, there is little informationto be collected from the bill on the Minister's

policy. The council is to “disseminate in-“ formation about the national value of its ob-jectives”; and it may not wrong the Minister

outrageously to say that his council is to trans-late into a programme the general aspira-

' tions he has expressed. The bill also preparesfor the erection of regional organisingmachinery. In fact, it is a very elaboratelypre-

paratory measure; but what the preparationsare for, beyond public expenditure on benefitsalready widely available, is not correspondinglyplain.

Guns and SchoolsThe decision of the Defence Department to dis-

continue artillery units in secondary schools isinexplicable to the lay mind, though there maybe some good military reason for it. If it isagreed that military exercises are a useful ad-

junct to the disciplinary training of the school-boy, it is difficult to see why training in oneparticular branch of military work should beacceptable but not in another branch. Infantry

training can be reasonably interesting to boyswho have a bent towards things military, butit might be thought artillery training, involvingpossibly some mathematical education, wouldbe equally if not more useful, and certainlymore attractive to the active-minded boy. Ifartillery training is objected to on the groundthat the boys are too young to be trained in thehigher branches of the arts of war, the objec-

tion seems too flimsy to stand. There appears

to be no essential difference between beingtaught to shoot with a .303 rifle and being

taught to shoot with an 18-pounder. But it maybe that artillery training is more expensive thaninfantry training. In that case the same objec-

tion should hold good for territorials. Boys andyoung men would therefore not learn to shootuntil the actual necessity arose; and then, per-haps, it would be too late.

Personal ItemsAppreciation of the services of Mr Victor

French, who resigned this year from his posi-tion as secretary and superintendent for thePresbyterian Social Service Association, is re-corded in the association’s twenty-eighth annualreport.

Resolutions of sympathy with the relativesof the Hon. L. M. Isitt and of Mr George Lomaswere passed at a meeting of the Durham StreetMethodist Circuit.

The Hon. F. Waite, M.L.C., left by steamerexpress for the north last evening.

Tributes to the services of Mr W. S. Wharton,secretary of the North Canterbury HospitalBoard, were paid at a meeting of the boardyesterday. For 25 years, said the chairman (MrH. J. Otley), Mr Wharton filled the positionwith complete satisfaction to the board andgreat credit to himself. A motion of sympathywith Mr Wharton’s widow and mother waspassed.

Mr R. A. Falla, curator of the CanterburyMuseum, will leave to-day for Dunedin. He willreturn to Christchurch next week.

Mr P. R. Climie, secretary to the CanterburyProgress League, returned from Wellington yes-terday.

Flight Lieutenant T. J. Denton, Royal NewZealand Air Force, arrived by steamer expressfrom the north yesterday.

Messrs J. MacGibbon, C. Ogilvie, H. P. Don-ald, and A. O. Wilkinson have been re-electedto the committee of the Presbyterian SocialService Association, and Mr T. Horne has beenelected a new member.

The Hon. J. K. Archer, M.L.C., was yesterdaycongratulated by the North Canterbury Hos-pital Board on his appointment to the Legisla-tive Council.

His work for thecouncil was praised by the chairman, Mr G. L.Pomfret-Dodd, and Mr C. H. Lawrence. Mr C,W, Drabble was elected to fill the vacancy.

General News

Foot-and-Mouth Disease by Air?The possibility of foot-and-mouth disease be-

ing introduced into the Dominion by the pro-posed air services from Europe was the sub-ject of a letter from the Waimairi branch tothe North Canterbury executive of the NewZealand Farmers’ Union yesterday afternoon.The executive decided to refer the letter toDominion headquarters for investigation, mem-bers stating that the matter should be aired.

Laxity in Family Life

“The number of separated parents seeking toadmit children to our homes is a pertinent com-ment upon the present laxity with regard tofamily and married life,” states the twenty-eighth annual report of the Presbyterian SocialService Association. “We have reaffirmed theprinciple that our first responsibility is fororphans and then for those children whose re-maining parent is unable to care properly forthe family,” the report adds. “It is only in ex-ceptional circumstances that ,we admit the chil-dren of separated parents.”

The Old Grey Mare

Finding that “the old grey mare ain’t whatshe used to be,” Mr J. L. Dickson, of TutakiValley, Murchison, decided to replace his horseteam with a tractor. The tractor arrived in thevard of the farm. The old grey horse inspectedit, ran excitedly round the yard, and droppeddead. The tractor’s first job was to drag thehorse to a suitable burial place on the farm.

Dictatorship Disclaimed“I am not a Mussolini,” declared Cr. W. P.

Spencer at a meeting of the Waimairi CountyCouncil last evening. Cr Spencer had suggested,when a request was received from the Papa-nui Technical College for 1000 yards of spoil,that the college should be advised to apply tothe Waimakariri River Trust, as the councilcould not supply the spoil. “Yes, write and tellthem they can get it from the River Trust,”chorused several members, apparently assum-ing that Cr. Spencer, as chairman of the RiverTrust, had authorised a supply from the trust.Cr. Spencer disclaimed such authority and saidthat he had merely advised a request to thetrust. It was decided to advise the college ac-cordingly.

Sanctuaries Described as Death-Traps“We have very few sanctuaries, and I con-

sider that those we have are death-traps,” saidDr. D. McK. Dickson at the council meeting ofthe North Canterbury Acclimatisation Societylast evening. He was speaking on the clausein the rangers’ committee report, advocatingthat an extra strip, half a mile wide, be addedto each sanctuary. Dr. Dickson said that atpresent it was possible for shooters to standright alongside the sanctuaries and shoot thebirds entering and leaving them. It was de-cided to refer the matter to the game commit-tee.

Dangerous Dogs Not Wanted“We get the rough element of .the towns sent

out to the country, but when it comes to dogs,I think that they should be left in town,” saidMr W. G. Witte at a meeting of the North Can-terbury executive of the Farmers’ Union yes-terday afternoon when criticising a conditionmade in the Magistrate’s Court in Christchurchrecently that an Alsatian dog which had at-tacked a postman should be sent to the coun-try. Mr Witte said that the dog was as likelyto bite anyone in the country as in the city.Dogs of that nature were not wanted. “There isevery justification for protesting. I thought itwas a bit thick myself,” said chairman (MrJ. W. D. Hall). A resolution expressing strongdisapproval was passed.

Pasture Research SoughtResearch work on pastures in Canterbury is

to be recommended to the Government by theNorth Canterbury branch of the New ZealandFarmers’ Union. The need for such work aswell as that on field crops was emphasised ata meeting of the executive yesterday by MrJ. H. Hall. The chairman (Mr J. W. D. Hall)had reported on the recent visit to CanterburyAgricultural College, Lincoln, where membersof the newly-formed farmers’ committee of co-operation were shown the work of the agronomydivision of the Department of Scientific and In-dustrial Research under Mr J, W. Hadfield. Hesaid that the work needed the co-operation ofthe farmers. Mr R. G, Bishdp said that a seedstation had been established in Otago someyears ago and had to be given up. There wasnow a seed station at Canterbury AgriculturalCollege, and farmers should give it their sup-port and make suggestidns. After some dis-cussion it was decided to refer the suggestionof research on Canterbury pastures to the co-operation committee so that recommendationscould be made.

The “Squeers” PrincipleEducation in Russia is based on the “Squeers”

principle—“Window; how do you spell it? Wellthen, go and clean it”—said the Rev. O. W. Wil-liams in an address on the importance of Russiain present-day world affairs at the monthly tea-meeting of the Christchurch branch of the Wel-lington College Old Boys’ Association last even-ing. Mr Williams added that the Bolshevikshad done much to improve education in thatcountry. The presence of the chairman of thebranch, Mr A. E. Caddick, headmaster of theChristchurch West High School, led to a mem-ber remarking that that school would probablytry the same system in future.

Guarding Stock in TransitReported loss of hoggets in transit by a mem-

ber of the Canterbury Sheepowners’ Union ledto a report by the secretary (Mr W. H. Nichol-son) at a meeting yesterday that the Govern-ment had the matter in hand. An amendmentto the Stock Act was now being drafted, whichwould make it compulsory on all persons, eithercarting or droving stock by day or night, tocarry a consignment note, describing the num-ber and class of sheep on the particular lorry,or in charge of the drover. It was expected thatthese consignment notes would be in triplicate,one each being retained by the consignor, thedrover or carter, and the consignee, for theirprotection in case of dispute as to ownership.The present permit system would then beabolished as anomalies had arisen, and thesystem had proved in practice to be unneces-sarily restrictive. It was expected that theamendment would be introduced in the nearfuture by the Minister for Agriculture.

Transport of RacehorsesThe contention that the Railways Department

had not catered for the horse-trainers of to-day was made by Mr T. H. Langford, No. 3Transport Licensing Authority, at a sitting atAshburton yesterday. The danger of valuablehorses travelling along bitumen roads to betrucked was great, and he considered that thedepartment should have been awake to theneed for floats to carry the horses from thestables to railway stations. The need had beenapparent for at least five or six years, Mr Lang-ford said, and in that period there had been aconsiderable increase in the number of bitu-men roads. The risk of injury to horses wasincreasing.

Use of Boundary DogsThe use of boundary dogs is decreasing, and

the need for them has practically disappeared,according to statements made at a meeting ofthe Canterbury Sheepowners’ Union yesterday.A letter was received from the Minister forInternal Affairs (the Hon. W. E. Parry), statingthat the use of the dogs had greatly diminished,and that feeding and housing conditions wherethey had to be used had greatly improved. Heexpressed the hope that steps "would be takenwhere possible to reduce further the numberof these dogs with a view to their final elimi-nation. The secretary (Mr W. H. Nicholson)said that inquiries he had made had shown thattheir use had declined as closer settlement pro-gressed, and that they were used in very ex-ceptional cases and for short periods only.Members expressed similar views, and it wasdecided to write to the Minister promising fullco-operation in his proposal, should it be neces-sary in any district.

BROADCAST OFSERMON. *

ACTION TAKEN BY

AUTHORITIES

COMPLAINT OF TRADE

UNION

ROMAN CATHOLIC ATTACK ON

COMMUNISM

A protest made by Communistorganisations and at least one tradeunion in New Zealand against analleged attack on Communism con-tained in the broadcast of a sermonfrom a Roman Catholic church inWellington has drawn from thebroadcasting authorities a promisethat such a sermon will not againbe given.

The Director of Broadcasting, Pro-fessor J. Shelley, in a telephoneconversation with “The Press” yes-terday, said that he had replied tothe organisations which had pro-tested, stating that such an attackwould not again be heard over theair. “It was a pure mistake thatsermon ever going over the air,” hetold a reporter.

The reply that controversial mat-ters must in future be avoided insermons did not mean that thescript of sermons would haye to besubmitted to the authorities beforepermission was given to broadcastthem. Professor Shelley said. It wasthe understood practice laid downfor the church committees that con-troversial matters should beavoided in sermons.

The sermon, which was broadcastby Station 2YA from St. Gerard’sChurch, Wellington, was given by aRedemptorist priest, the Rev. FatherK. D. Crowe. The same night as itwas given the Westland TimberWorkers’ Union, through the presi-dent, Mr J. Doyle, and the secretary,Mr F. L. Turley, telephoned “ThePress” stating that they had sent astrongly-worded telegram, the gistof which they announced, to thePrime Minister, the Rt. Hon. M. J.Savage, asking him to take someaction against the preacher for hisattack on Communism.

No Right of ReplyThe protest was carried furtherby

some Communist organisations, butit is understood that a request bythem for the right to reply to thestatements alleged to have beenmade in the broadcast sermon hasbeen refused, the broadcastingauthorities holding the view that itwas a mistake that the original ser-mon was ever broadcast, and thatthe controversy should not be car-ried further.

The sermon at which offence wastaken by the Communist organisationswas reprinted by a Roman Catholicnewspaper, which stated that everystatement in the sermon could be veri-fied by Russian newspapers andauthoritative books on the subject.“We welcome the opportunity of plac-ing before our readers a sermon whichhas aroused widespread interest,”stated the “New Zealand Tablet.” “It(the sermon) was enthusiastically re-ceived by all save a few misguided'champions of atheistic Communism.”

Father Crowe at the beginning ofhis address said that if there were anylistening who imagined that they wereto be treated to an irresponsible andfanatical tirade, they were doomed todisappointment. They would certainlyhear Communism condemned, but onlyafter irrefutable facts and argumentshad been adduced. To non-Catholiclisteners, he said that he extended tothem the invitation of Pope Pius XI,invoking their hearty collaboration inorder to ward off from mankind agreat danger that threatened all alike.He addressed himself in particular tothe working man whose lot at thepresent time was so difficult.

“Fallacious Arguments”“As he looks round him in the

world,” Father Crowe said, “he seesimmense wealth concentrated in thehands of a few, while masses of menlive in poverty and want. The Com-munist agitator will try to deceive himwith fallacious arguments and alluringpromises; but let the working man inview of what he will hear to-nightthink, and think deeply, before heallows himself to be sold over to theworst slavery the world has known.”

Quoting the Russian newspaper,“Pravda,” as his authority. FatherCrowe said that Lenin’s aim, after thefirm establishment of Communism inRussia, had been to work unceasinglyfor the overthrow Of all modern gov-ernments. Lenin died in 1924, butworld-revolution remained the avowedobject of the Soviet leaders.

Communism demanded, continued thespeaker, three things—the abolition ofprivate property, the establishment ofthe dictatorship of the proletariat, andthe denial of God and the suppressionof religion.

Father Crowe quoted extracts froma book, “I Was a Communist,” writtenin 1936 by Andrew Smith, formerly aleader of the American CommunistParty who had gone to live in Russia.Smith had said that every Russianfactory was filled with spies, and thosewho ceased work, following the tacticssponsored by the Communists here ofgoing on strike, were struck with asentence of hard labour; but moreoften they had a habit of just dis-appearing. Dogs in America were bet-ter fed than the Soviet worker, Smithhad declared.

Father Crowe also quoted from SirWalter Citrine’s book, “I Search forTruth in Russia,” and Andre Gide’s“Return from Moscow,” which thespeaker described as devastating.Women in Soviet Russia were forcedto do the hardest manual labour forthe lowest wage, he continued, andthere was no respect for morality, ascould be seen from a glance at Article144 of the family code, which out of

respect for his hearers he would notquote. The newspaper “Izvestia” hadsaid that the percentage of divorces tomarriages had risen to 44. Misery, too.was driving women to the most dan-gerous remedies, and thus in 1935 therewere registered in Moscow alone150,000 cases of abortion. Immense

numbers of abandoned childrenroamed the streets of Russian cities,and the widow of Lenin, writing in“Izvestia,” had given the number notin thousands but in millions. Im-morality had been rife among them,and even in the schools atheistic teach-ing was having the results that mightbe expected.

Stalin had found it necessary toorder capital punishment for juveniledelinquents of even 12 years of age,as could be seen in the pages of“Pravda.”

“The Communists, following theirusual unscrupulous tactics, have calledthe Catholic Church the friend of Fas-cism,” the speaker said. “Why? Be-cause she has the courage to stand upand condemn their fiendish betrayal ofthe working classes, exposing theirtreachery and hypocrisy to the worldWe must counteract the cunning Com-munist propaganda by spreading thetruth about Russia and her hellish doc-trines and thus save many souls frombeing lost eternally. Let us marchforward to battle against this red mon-ster, the enemy of God and of man.”

LANDLOCKED FISH

Value of Salvaging

Work

A COMPARISON WITH

HATCHERY COSTS

“The total liberation of browntrout fry from the hatchery this sea-son is shown as 189,000, and workingon the basis that a two-year-old fishis equal in value to 1000 fry, theamount of fry liberated is equal toonly 189 two-year-old fish. Alto-gether 4286 fish have been rescuedfrom landlocked pools in the Sel-wyn this year, and at a cost of onlyabout £3. These fish are supposedlyequal in value to 4,286,000 fry.Working on these figures it seemsthat the money, spent in trapping,stripping, collecting, and hatchingova could much better be spent onthis rescue work, or even on thework at the game farm,” said Pro-fessor E. Percival at a meeting of thecouncil of the North Canterbury Ac-climatisation Society last evening.

The council had before it a reportfrom Dr. D. McK. Dickson on fishsalvage Dr. Dickson said that mostof the fish salvaged this year weretwo-year-olds and upwards, where-as in previous seasons they had beenmainly fingerlings and yearlings. Allof the salvaged fish had been liber-ated in the Ellesmere river system.

In working out the value of the fishthussaved the report stated that oneof these fish could be looked on tospawn four times, producing 10,000eggs. This was in contrast with thevalue that was placed on ova forthe hatchery. A trap was put inthe south branch of the Waimakariririver, and was cleaned daily for twoweeks. The trap contained threefemales and no males, and two ofthe females escaped. Milt wasbrought from the Doyleston drain tofertilise the 5000 eggs, of whichabout 1500 survived for liberation.For this a mileage of about 200 hadto be travelled by the truck.

On September 23, working atPope’s Ford, in one haul of the net1000 two and three-year-old fishwere saved, so that in. one haul, andat a trifling cost, fish equivalent tomore than five times the hatcheryoutput were saved.

Professor Percival moved that arecommendation to the finance com-mittee be made that a sum not ex-ceeding £SO should be made avail-able for the salvage work. Mr G.L. Pomfret-Dodd, chairman, re-marked that he was certain thatsuch a motion would almost cer-tainly be turned down by the fin-ance committee unless it was under-stood that other streams exceptthose in the vicinity of the Selwyn•\ ere going to benefit. Mr H. W.Harris mentioned several placesnorth of the Waimakariri wherethis work could be carried on togreat advantage, and it was alsomentioned that several men in Ra-ngiora had offered to give their ser-vices free if such a scheme wereadopted.

After further discussion the re-commendation was carried unani-mously. -

THE LIVE STOCKEMBARGO

IMPORTATIONS FROM

BRITAIN

MR LLOYD HAMMOND’S PLAN

APPROVED

The proposals of Mr Lloyd Ham-mond to lift the embargo on thedirect importation of stock fromGreat Britain and allow direct im-portation under strict regulationswere favoured by a majority vote ata meeting of the North Canterburybranch of the New Zealand Far-mers’ Union yesterday afternoon.Representatives from variousbranches expressed their views, mostof them stating, however, that opin-ion in the branches was fairlyevenly divided.

Mr J. Hawke said that breeders ofSouthdown and Border Leicestersheep appeared to be the main op-ponents of the proposals, as theyconsidered that they had as goodstock .as they could get. Cattlebreeders and pig breeders, on theother hand, seemed in favour of theproposals. The importation of stockhad been strongly advocated byLord Bledisloe.

Mr G. C. Warren asked if any-thing had come of the scheme tohold a referendum of farmers on thesubject.

The chairman (Mr J. W. D. Hall,vice-president) said that he did notknow anything of this.

The secretary (Mr A. E. G.Lyttle): The Minister said that areferendum would be taken beforeanything was done.

“There is at present no real em-bargo,” said Mr R. G. Bishop, whosaid that stock came in throughAustralia, and there was the riskthat stock free from foot-and-mouthdisease being shipped for New Zea-land would pass other diseasedand become contaminated.

In reply to a question the chair-man said that horses were not sub-ject to the embargo.

Mr Warren asked whether the pro-posals wmuld not be more to theadvantage of the wealthy man.

The chairman: No. The presentsystem favours the wealthy man, asit is expensive to import stockthrough Australia.

NEW PARKINGBY-LAW

THREE FEET BETWEENCARS

CITY COUNCIL PLAN.

STREET SIGNS FOR TIMJLIMITS

Under a proposed new by-law tobe placed before the City Council atits next meeting motorists parkingalong kerbs in the city will be re-quired to allow three feet betweentheir cars. The object of this is theapparent one—to avoid congestionand to allow cars to move more eas-ily in and out of the parking lines. Itwill apply to all parallel parkinglines.

This is one of several recommend-ations to be made by the traffic com-mittee to the council. The commit-tee proposes another importantchange affecting parking facilities incity streets. Henceforth the blackand yellow signs at parking placesand in prohibited areas will act atby-laws in themselves.

Formerly, if the council wished-tochange its regulations coveringparking in the city the changes hadto go through all the legal processeiof a by-law. With the establish-ment of a large number of regula-tions and varying time limits in dif-ferent parts of the city the numberof regulations has mounted steadily,and a motorist wishing to be sureof observing all the by-laws has hadto study approximately 14 pages ofregulations.

Under powers given to it in thenew traffic laws the council will infuture not set out these regulationsin detail, but will simply erectnotices in the streets. Motorists willin future be required to regard thenotices as the written law and of-fences against them will be offencesagainst the by-laws of the city.

For the purposes of this systemthe council has now erected a fullsystem of signs, in distinctive yel-low and black colours, to indicateparking places and prohibited areas.

The traffic committee will also re-commend to the council that the gy-ratory system for traffic using Cath-edral square should be delayed untilafter Cup and Show week, to avoidconfusion.

SCHOOL DENTALSERVICE

EXTENSIONS PLANNEDFOR NEXT YEAR

SUBSIDY ON BUILDING OPCLINICS REINSTATED

[From Our Parliamentary Reporter.!

WELLINGTON, October 27.Extensions of the school dental

service are planned for next year,and details about the staffingof the clinics were given to-day bythe Minister for Health (the Hon,P. Fraser).

The Minister said that the pre-liminary posting of nurses availablefor next year had enabled an addi-tional nurse to be allocated to theexisting clinics in each of the fol-lowing places: Thames, Pukekohe,Ellerslie, Dannevirke, Rotorua, Nel-son, Westland, Napier, Whangarei,Beckenham, Linwood, Tauranga,and Te Pukearea. It was expectedthat an additional 20 nurses wouldbe available for the establishment ofnew clinics, the Minister said, andnegotiations on this point were atpresent under way with school com-mittees, whose applications for clin-ics had been lodged with theHealth Department for some con-siderable time. When these negoti-ations were completed, it would bepossible to determine the locationof the new clinics.

“The Government has consideredthe reinstatement of onthe erection of dental clinics, MrFraser said, “and has now decidedto make subsidies available on »

basis of £2 for £l.”

LIBERATION OFOVA

CANTERBURY RIVERS ANDLAKES

REPORT TO ACCLIMATISATIONSOCIETY

“How this hatchery was run before,

with safety, I cannot imagine,” statedMr W. H. Claringbold, curator of theNorth Canterbury Acclimatisation So-ciety’s hatchery and game farm atGreenpark. Mr Claringbold mentionedthat he had met with some set-bacKs,having had trouble with the pump.Power failures had caused consider-able inconvenience and loss. An alarmbell had been installed, and had twicesaved the entire stock in the hatcheryboxes. Gill disease had caused a badmortality among the brown trout, anothe rainbow fry had suffered to amuch smaller degree. The cleanina

of the river had also probably ac-counted for some deaths. ,

Mr Claringbold gave the number orbrown ’trout liberated as 190,000, or *

loss of 21.4 per cent, on the numberof ova laid down. Rainbow fry liber-ated numbered 444,500, with a loss oi11.1 per cent., much of which wascaused by the power failures.

The liberation in the various riversand lakes was given by the fish libera-tion committee as follows:—

Rainbow: Lake Lyndon, 236,000.Lake Grasmere, 64,000; Lake Georgina,60,000; Lake Rubicon. 20,000; La*0

Hawdon, 63,500.Brown trout: Waimakariri river,

75.000; Halswell river, 25.000; Avonriver, 25,000; Ashley river, 50,000; Styxriver 10,000; Springfield water-race,4000.

“I may say that I have seen nobetter fry than those turned out fromthe hatchery this year,” said Mr Ebert.Complimentary references to the stateof the ova from the Rotorua, Nelson.Wellington, and Westland societieswere also received.

JAPANESE GAIN GROUND ATSHANGHAI

Tachang Taken After StubbornResistance

HOSTILITIES MOVE NEAR FOREIGNAREAS

Invaders in Possession of Kaingwaoand Chapei

Meeting with no resistance from the Chinese, whocommenced a widespread retreat in the Shanghai sector,the Japanese forces have occupied Tachang andKaingwan and are now in possession of Chapei, on thenorthern edge of Shanghai itself. It is claimed that theirvictory is complete.

The Chinese, on the other hand, state that theirretreat was orderly and claim that by withdrawing to thesouth they will remove themselves from the effectiverange of the Japanese warships in the Yangtse-kiang. Itis reported that Marshal Ghiang Kai-shek has arrived inShanghai from Nanking to take over control of theChinese defences.

As a result the hostilities have now moved nearer tothe western limits of the International Settlement, whichis manned by British troops. The anxieties of foreignershave increased.

The difficulties of the troops guarding the foreignareas were increased by the rush of maddened Chineserefugees who sought to enter the concessions to escapethe pursuing Japanese. Chinese soldiers assisted theBritish troops to exclude the fugitives from the foreignareas.

(Received October 27, 10 p.m.)

LONDON, October 27.The Japanese, in a powerful of-

fensive along the whole Chapeifront at dawn, captured the NorthStation and occupied the adjoiningAdministration Building, and alsothe International Racecourse.

The correspondent of the BritishUnited Press at Shanghai stales thatthe Chinese are taking up new posi-tions on the south bank of the Soo-chow creek, beyond the highwaysoutside the International Settle-ment.

A fire of unprecedented dimen-sions is raging in Chapei, where theChinese blew up and ignited build-ings before retiring.

Since early this morning theChinese in North Shanghai have re-sumed their withdrawal and theJapanese flag flies at the North Sta-tion. Other flags along the Soo-chow creek indicate the progress ofthe troops who are pursuing theChiiTcso.

Mr Pembroke Stephens, in a dis-patch to the “Daily Telegraph,” saysthat ■ Japanese aeroplanes, pursuingthe retreating Chinese, machine-gunned a British post in Brenanroad.

, , ~

The British retaliated, hitting theaeroplane, but not bringing it down.There were no British casualties.

A later message from Mr Stephensstates that Chapei was evacuated

without fighting in the early hoursof this morning, and the Japanesevictory is complete.

The Japanese captured the Chenjustation on the Nankin g-Shanghairailv/ay.

It is estimated that the areas in-volved amount to several squaremiles.

Further inland the Japanese aero-planes are active, machine-gunningand bombing the retreating troops.

Latest reports indicate that theJapanese suddenly dashed south-wards through Chapei. reaching theSoochow creek and cutting off anarea in Chapei in which hundredsof Chinese made a bitter stand.

Declining foreign advice to sur-render, the Chinese stated they weredetermined to remain to the lastman. They were trapped withinan area of four square miles, roundwhich fires have been lighted by theJapanese in order to smoke them°U

A Chinese spokesman admittedthat the Chinese had abandoned allpositions in Kaingwan and Chapei,but he claimed that the retreat wasorderly. Moreover, it would placethe new lines beyond effective rangeof tlu Jananese warships in theYangtse-ldang, which have sheiledthe Chinese mercilessly.

TIMARU, October 27.To assist the Red Cross service in

China a public meeting, held in theBorough Council Chambers to-night,decided to raise up to £ 500. TheMayor (Mr P. C. Vinnell), who pre-sided, said the fact that there was astruggle in the Far East was not theconcern of the meeting, the objectof which was to do what it could toalleviate the distress among the sickand wounded there.

In Canterbury the sum of £2OOOwas aimed at in a public appeal, andhe did not think Timaru would lagbehind in providing its quota.

It was reported that_ £2OO worthof stamps for use as stickers on thewindscreens of cars and windowshad been received. They werevalued at 2s 6d eash.

On the motion of Mrs E. G. Kerr,it was decided that those presentshould constitute themselves a com-mittee to carry out a campaign forfunds. Mr J. M. Dunne was ap-pointed- secretary.

It was decided in the meantime toconfine the appeal to Timaru itself.

The Mayor expressed the opinionthat, as there was no need for acollection for the Mayors Coal andBlanket Fund this year, the boroughcouncil would no doubt approve ofa street collection being made nextmonth for the Red Cross fund. 1

PARIS, October 27.I A dramatic episode which mayhave an important reaction onFrench internal politics occurred atthe Lyons Civil Court during a slan-der action brought against Colonelde la Rocquc, the leader of theFrench Croix de Feu, now knownas the French National SocialistParty.

The plaintiff is the Due Pozzo diBorgo, one of his chief lieutenantsin the building up of the FascistCroix de Feu.

Di Borgo alleged that de la Rocqueaccused him on false charges afterthe publication of an article inwhich di Borgo declared that de laRocque received money from theGovernment secret funds.

The former Premier, M. AndreTardieti, caused a sensation by stat-ing in evidence that when he wasPremier he regularly subsidised deTa Rocque from the secret servicefunds. De la Rocque received thefunds on the ground that he re-quired them to intensify the recruit-ing of the Croix de Feu and start anational volunteer movement.

De la Rocque, in his evidence, saidhe received no money from M.Tardieu.

Judgment was reserved.

VOLUNTEERS INSPAIN

“All But UnanimousAgreement”

PROGRESS TOWARDWITHDRAWAL

Obstacles CreatedBy Russia

(BKl'l'lSH OFFICIAL WIRELESS.)

(Received October 27, 8 p.m.)

RUGBY, October 26.Substantial progress towards an

agreed action to make non-interven-tion effective resulted from a five-hour session of the internationalsub-committee to-day. The ForeignMinister (Mr Eden) presided.

Consideration was resumed of thedraft resolution in the light of thecomments of the Governments towhich the text was submitted.

At the end of the discussion allthe members were agreed on theterms of the resolution, with the ex-ception of the Russian delegate, whowas unable to concur in the para-graphs dealing with the grant ofbelligerent rights.

In these circumstances the sub-committee ‘ will again submit anamended text, on which all butunanimous agreement has beenreached, to the Governments, whosefinal observations will, it is hoped,be received before the meeting onFriday.

The sub-committee instructed thechairman and secretary in the mean-time to make a start on drafting theterms of reference for the two com-missions to be dispatched to Spainto establish the numbers of non-Spanish nationals participating oneither side in the civil war, and toprepare a list of personnel for sub-mission to the committee.

It is understood that the sub-committee has dropped the proposalfor a token withdrawal of volun-teers. The chairman suggested dur-ing the discussion that the commit-tee was now clearly at grips withthe main proposal for a full-scalewithdrawal, and it would be a pityto be diverted by a minor questionon the details of which agreementwas not assured. Members, aftersome discussion, concurred.

Italian Attitude ClarifiedOther principal developments to-

day were the clarification of theItalian attitude to the status of theCommissions’ reports on the num-bers of volunteers, and some modifi-cation of a, tentative character, bythe Russian representative, of hisattitude to the question of the rela-tion in time of the grant of belliger-ent rights and the withdrawal ofvolunteers.

Count Grandi (Italy) said that ifthe commissions were constituted insuch a way and the terms of refer-ence were such as ensured confi-dence, then the figures on the basisof which the proportion of with-drawals from either side would bedetermined could be accepted. Itcan now, therefore, be stated that,the sub-committee is unanimouslyagreed that the figures establishedby the commissions shall be acceptedas final and binding.

M. Jean Maisky (Russia) wasquestioned, closely by Mr Eden onhis reiteration of the Russian re-fusal to grant belligerent rights toany point in advance of the comple-tion of the withdrawal of volunteers.It is understood he expressed theview that when the bulk of thevolunteers had been withdrawn andit had been seen that there were nonew arrivals and that the intentionof all Governments not to send re-inforcements was beyond doubt,then the Russian Government mightperhaps consent to grant belligerentrights.

It will be recalled that the Britishplan, on which the committee is nowworking, provided for the grant ofbelligerent rights when substantialprogress had been made with thewithdrawal.

“AFFAIRS IN SPAIN NOT OURCONCERN”

(Received October 28, 12.45 a.m.)

LONDON, October 27.Mr Duff-Cooper (First Lord of the

Admiralty), replying to criticism ofthe Government’s policy in Spain,declined to accept the suggestionthat the war was being carried onwith greater barbarity on one sidethan on the .other.

“The Government’s policy is thatwhat goes on in Spain is not ourconcern,” he said, “but we keep thehigh seas free for British commerce.

“The question arises where todraw the line on non-interventionin Spain.

“We have drawn it at the three-mile limit. We have been told of re-fugees drowning in

_

territorialwaters within reach of His Majesty’sships, which did not rescue them.

“1+ is not pleasant to think ofneutrals watching such sufferingsand refusing to intervene; but it ispart of a great policy and a soundpolicy that they should not inter-vene.”

RELATIONS OF HONDURASAND NICARAGUA

APPROACH MADE TO LEAGUEOF NATIONS

(Received October 27, 5.5 p.m.)

GENEVA, October 26.The Secretary-General of the

League of Nations has received atelegram from the Government ofNicaragua about- frontier incidentsand the affair subsequently led tovarious telegrams from both Nica-ragua and Honduras.

The trouble is over the determin-ation of the frontier, Nicaragua dis-puting an arbitral award by theKing of Spain in 1906 relating to thefrontier of Honduras and Nicaragua.Nicaragua asserts, but Honduras de-nies, that Nicaraguan nationals in-habiting Honduras are being ill-treated.

Relations between Nicaragua andHonduras have been gravely im-perilled because of a dispute over arecent Nicaraguan postage stamp.This bore an engraved map of Nica-ragua which was alleged to includea section of Honduras territory.Honduras protested to Nicaragua,which coldly retorted that the stamp“portrays an official map of Nica-ragua.”

The wrath of Honduras thenapproached detonation point. Nica-raguan residents were threatenedand many were repatriated. Meet-ings were held all over Hondurasdemanding war. A students’ mani-festo proclaimed that “the decisivemoment of our history has arrived.We can break faith with future gen-erations or fight against the dismem-berment of the Fatherland.”

KING OPENS HIS

PARLIAMENT

PICTURESQUE CEREMONY

AT WESTMINSTER

MENTION OF ROYAL VISIT

TO INDIA

(UNITED PEES 9 ASSOCIATION—COPTHIOnT.)

(Received October 27, 1.30 p.m.)LONDON, October 26.

On a beautiful sunny morning, theKing, accompanied by the Queen,opened the first Parliament of hisreign. The occasion proved anattraction for the biggest crowdsever known for a State opening ofParliament.

Their Majesties acknowledged thegreetings of the crowd on their wayto the House of Lords from Buck-ingham Palace as they rode in theglass and gold State coach, whichwas drawn by the eight Windsorgreys. Yeomen of - the Guard intheir picturesque costumes marchedbeside the coach. Three mountedequerries were in attendance and asovereign’s escort of Horse Guards.Five semi-state landaus accompaniedthe Royal coach, carrying the ladiesand gentlemen of the Royal House-hold.

The time-honoured pageantry wasobserved on arrival at the House ofLords. The Prime Minister (MrChamberlain) was unable to be pre-sent because of an attack of gout.His place in the House of Commonsto-night was taken by the Chan-cellor of the Exchequer (Sir JohnSimon).

The House of Lords presented abrilliant spectacle, with peeresses infur coats over their evening dressesand wearing glittering tiaras.

Princess Elizabeth was the first tomake her obeisance to His Majesty.Princess Margaret Rose accompaniedPrincess Elizabeth. Both were hat-less and attired in rose pink coats.

Relations with Foreign PowersThe King read his Speech from

the Throne slowly, without hesita-tion, and with only one or twopauses.

“Britain’s relations with foreignPowers continue to be friendly,”said His Majesty. “I have invitedthe King of the Belgians to visit mein November, and the King of Ru-mania to visit me in the spring of1938.

“My Ministers have followed, withgrowing concern, the continuance ofthe conflict in Spain. It is their aimto do everything possible to assisttowards a restoration of peaceamong the Spanish people. Theybelieve that the strict application ofnon-intervention will materially con-tribute to this end.

“The position in the Far East willcontinue to engage the earnest at-tention of the Government, whichwill persist in its policy of attempt-ing, in co-operation with other gov-ernments, whether they are mem-bers of the League or not, to miti-gate the suffering caused by theconflict, and to bring it to a con-clusion.

“I am looking forward to the timewhen it will be possible for me tovisit my Indian Empire.”

His Majesty said he noted that theexpansion of the defence forces wasprogressing rapidly. He rejoiced toknow that the outlook for trade andindustry remained favourable. TheGovernment would continue to en-courage industrial activity at homeand develop overseas trade.

The speech foreshadowed legisla-tion dealing with protection againstair raids, coal royalties, the distri-bution of electricity, earlier pensionsfor the blind, the study of the popu-lation problem, the appointment ofmore divorce judges, slum clear-ance, rural housing, and a varietyof other matters.

PROGRAMME OP THESESSION

BIG LIST OF LEGISLATIONTO BE DEALT WITH

(BBITXSB OFFICIAL WIEELES3.)

RUGBY, October 26.Announcing the probable course

of business in the House of Com-mons, the Chancellor of the Ex-chequer (Sir John Simon) said thatthe debate on the Address-in-Replywould occupy the remainder of theweek, and it would be concludedearly next week.

Dealing with Government bills,Sir John Simon mentioned first theCoal Mines Bill, which would be acomplicated measure, and withwhich the Government hoped tomake substantial progress beforethe Christmas adjournment. Otherbills most likely to be introducedsoon would be the CinematographFilms Bill, the Sea Fisheries Bill,the Blind Persons Pensions Bill,‘theNational Health Insurance Bill, theAir Raid Precautions Bill, a bill forappointing additional Judges, aRural Housing Bill for Scotland, andthe Expiring Lav/s Continuance Bill.These bills, said Sir John, might beregarded as the first batch.

Mr Attlee said the King’s speechindicated no attempt whatever at asettlement of the international situ-ation. He criticised the Govern-ment attitude towards Spain andChina, and said he would like tosee some reference to the sanctityof treaties and the need for estab-lishing law and order. The start-ling thing in the speech was thecomplete omission of any referenceto unemployment in the distressedareas.

Therefore, he added, the Opposi-tion would submit an amendmentpointing out the serious omissionsand the failui’e to face the problemsof peace and the establishment ofsound economic conditions.

Sir Archibald Sinclair, the Liberalleader, said one of the most extra-ordinary omissions in the speechwas the absence of any mention ofthe League of Nations as the basisof Government policy. Althoughthis was to the forefront in the lasttwo speeches from the Throne, sup-porters of collective security wouldnot fail to draw their own conclu-sions. He hoped the Brussels Con-ference would result in peace, but

what peace? Was the Governmentgoing to help China in her ex-tremity, or was there to be a farcelike Abyssinia—another fait accom-pli encouraging aggression through-out the world.

Speaking after Mr C. R. Attlee inthe debate. Sir John Simon took upthe reference by Mr Attlee to thetrade cycle and the danger of aslump. The improvement in theeconomic position of the countryduring the last five or six years hadcontinued during the present year,and he did not think that there wasany possible indication that it wasgoing to be arrested.

In each quarter of the presentyear British overseas trade hadshown an all-round expansion, com-pared with the corresponding quar-ter of the previous year. Importsand domestic exports had increased,not only in value, but in volume.Industrial production had continuedto rise.

No Halt in ExpansionSir John stated that the latest in-

dex number which had been workedout for the second quarter of thisyear was the highest index for in-dustrial production yet recorded forany quarter. At the same time therehad been no halt in the expansionof retail trade. After consideringcertain less satisfactory' pointers,such as the temporary decrease inbuilding plans. Sir John Simon saidthat on a fair view there was noground whatever for assuming thattrade was likely to suffer an earlydecline.

Replying to an inquiry by MrAttlee regarding the King’s proposedvisit to India, Sir John Simon said:“His Majesty’s desire to make thisvery important visit is well under-stood, and we have no doubt thatthe time chosen will be one thatwill be found to be the best.’’

The following amendment to tinAddress-in-Reply will be moved byMr Herbert Morrison on behalf otthe Labour Party; “But we regretthat Your Majesty’s advisers, bytheir weak and vacillating policy inforeign affairs, which has gravelyimperilled the prospects of lastingpeace and national security, havebetrayed the principles of theLeagueof Nations and seriously diminishedBritish influence, and by their lackof any constructive fundamentalpreparations for raising the standardO- living upon a just and enduringbasis, they have forfeited the confi-dence of this House."’

THREAT OF LABOUR VICTORY

IN SENATE

(UNITED rEE9S ASSOCIATION—COFYEIMIT.)

(Received October 28, 1i.30 a.rn.)

SYDNEY, October 27.It is reliably reported that tht

Government will seek a double dis-solution and another election nextyear if Labour achieves a majorityin the Senate, which comprises 36seats.

Party reports to the Prime Minis-ter (Mr J. A. Lyons) indicate thatthousands of electors were confusedby the grouping system on theSenate ballot papers, on which the

Labour group was on top except inQueensland. The result was thatthe electors simply numbered fromtop to bottom in mechanical fashion,without regard to the true order oftheir preference.

The Government is determined toamend the system so that the alpha-betical nominations will confer noadvantage on Senate candidates infuture.

Latest reports show the state ofthe parties in the House of Repre-sentatives to be:—•

Government .. .. 28United Country Party .. 16Labour .. • •

.. 28

Doubtful ..- -2

There is still a considerable num-ber of primary votes to be counted.

In the various states the positionis as follows:—

New South Wales—United Aus-tralia 11, United Country 5, Labour12.

Victoria—United Australia 9,United Country 4, Labour 5, doubt-ful 1.

Queensland—United Australia 3,United Country 3, Labour 5.

South Australia—United Austra-lia 2, United Country 2, Labour 1,doubtful 1.

Western Australia—United Aus-tralia 1, United Country 2, Labour 2.

Tasmania—United Australia 2,United Country 0, Labour 3.

Bendigo will probably be won onthe allocation of preferences by theunofficial Country Party candidate,Mr G. Rankin.

The Labour leader, Mr J. Curtin,inFremantle, Western Australia, hasdefeated a strong Government op-ponent, Mr E. Isaachessen, by 10,000votes.

The latest figures from Warringahdisclose that the Minister for De-fence (Sir Archdale Parkhill) hasslightly improved his position, butthere are at least 5000 primaryvotes to come. His chief opponent,Mr P. C. Spender, requires to obtainabout 60 per cent, of the preferencevotes to win. The degree of per-sonal feeling displayed against SirArchdale Parkhill has been the sub-ject of wide comment. His Minis-terial colleagues feel that it is quiteu .deserved.

The Government is hopeful ofwinning both the Adelaide and Bal-larat seats. The latest figures forBallarat show, that the lead of theLabour candidate. Mr R. Pollard,over Mr S. Walker, the United Aus-tralia nominee, has been reduced to179. As 4100 votes remain to becounted, Mr Walker may snatch alast-minute victory. In Adelaide, MrStacey is still about 5000 behind thecombined votes of his three Labouropponents, but United AustraliaParty headquarters in Adelaidestated that he might hold the seat.

[From Our Parliamentary Reporter.!

WELLINGTON, October 27.Many interesting views on the im-

fence (the Hon. F. Jones) to abolishspecialist training units in secondaryschool military cadet companies wascriticised by Mr J. Hargest (National,Awarua) during the debate on theArmy Board Bill in the House of Re-presentatives to-day.

“I do not know really why the Min-ister has abolished these units,’ MrHargest said. “I have always fellthat the average secondary schoolboywould brnefit more from that sort oftraining, getting behs"d an Jgld

in fJ"or a machine-gun, and getting intere cted in the mechanical side of histrafning. than in shouldering arms andforming fours. I think that the lumister nmst agree that his excuse is aweak one—that boys who undertookthat sort of training did not go intothe infantry afterwards. Of course theydo not go into the in antry, but they

Mr McCombs’s ViewThe abolition of specialist training

was mentioned by ether speakers in

the debate. Mr W. A. Bodkin (Na-

tional, Central Otago) asked the Min-ister to reconsider his decision.

Mr T. H. McCombs (Government,Lyttelton) emphasised a POint onwhich he is outspoken—that the Gov-ernment should abolish military train-ing in schools altogether. I havepossibly had more experience of thistraining in secondary schoolsother of the speakers on the pclnt. MrMcCombs said. I feel that mililarytraining in secondary schools is ouch ato inculcate in the minds ofpeople the idea that war is a d. sirablething In various countries through-out *the world certain forms of warpropaganda are indulged in and one

of the forms of this propaganda s thistraining in schools. } w°uld like tosee military training m schools abol-ished altogether.

Mr McCombs argued that if specialisttraining was left until after schoolyears, it would provide an incentive tofurther recruitments for the forces,

THE COUNCIL OFDEFENCE

CHANGE IN CONSTITUTIONSUGGESTED

[From Our Parliamentary Reporter.!WELLINGTON. October 27.

The suggestion that the Leader ofthe Opposition should be appointed tothe Council of Defence was made bythe Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes (National,Hurunui) during the second readingdebate on the Army Board Bill in theHouse of Representatives to-day. De-fence, said Mr Forbes, was above partyconsiderations. The Leader of theOpposition was the representative of alarge number of pc >ple in the country,and his appointment to the councilalong with other civilian memberswould bring about that co-ordinationof the civil population that was sodesirable in any measures taken forthe defence of the country.

It was the duty of the country tobring its defence system to the pointwhere New Zealand would not be adrag on Great Britain in the event ofthe Empire being embroiled in a warThe support given to the _ TerritorialForce was very disappointing. Whatwas required was something thatwould instil into the people that de-fence was a national duty, which camebefore all sport. There was a re-sponsibility on the Government tomake effective preparations for de-fence, and that was impossible unlessthe people were behind the authori-ties,

LAND FORCES

EFFORTS TO BUILD

UP EFFICIENCY

DETERMINATION OF THE

GOVERNMENT

MINISTER’S REPLY TO

DEBATE

[From Our Parliamentary Reporter)

WELLINGTON, October 27.The determination of the Govern-

ment to exert every effort to build upthe efficiency of the land forces inNew Zealand was emphasised by theMinister for Defence (the Hon. I.Jones) during his reply to the secondreading debate on the Army BoardBill in the House of Representativesto-night.

Members had raised the question orrates of pay in the defence forces,

said Mr Jones. The question affectedboth the territorials and the regular

forces. With the regular forces, it hadbeen found in 1930 that certainanomalies existed in the scales of payfor married men and single men, tosuch an extent that certain men inthe defence forces were placed at anadvantage in comparison with othermembers of the civil service. Certainvariations had then been introducedwith a new rate of pay for enlistments,but the position at present was thatit would be difficult to overcome theproblem without restoring the anomalywhich had been found to exist a fewyears ago. However, the Governmenthad the matter under consideration,and would endeavour to meet the posi-tion.

“The position of the territorial forcehas been disappointing for the lastfive or six years,” the Minister said.“Withdrawals have been almost asnumerous as enlistments, and it is im-possible to have a satisfactory forcewithout continuity of service. How-ever, we are endeavouring to make our'and forces more efficient than theyhave been in the past. We have aplan for the development of the terri-torial forces, and we believe that itran he carried out successfully.”

Highland UniformsMr Jones mentioned that new uni-

forms would be provided for the terri-torial forces within the next 12 months.From several quarters suggcslions hadbeen made that some units should beput into Highland uniforms, and theneople of Otago and Southland seemedenthusiastic over the proposal.

The Leader of the Opposition (the

Hon. A. Hamilton): Hear, hoar.“We will have a look at that,” said

Mr Jones, “and see if something canL.; done to comply with the suggestion.”

Mr Jones said the Government wasbuying large quantities of ammunitionfrom Australia, and generally co-operating with the Commonwealth.The small arms ammunition was stillbeing supplied by the ColonialAmmunition Company at Auckland.Talking about specialist training forcadets at secondary schools, the Min-ister said the general opinion amongofficers appeared to be that it wasof very little value. He had been in-formed that the specialist training ofcadets exercised no real influence onthe recruiting for the territorial forcesSomething should be done to assistthe social side of the territorial move-ment. and district rifle meetings werebeing reintroduced. Other steps wouldalso be taken toward the same end

“It is considered by the authorities.”said Mr Jcnes, “that the most likelyform of attack on New Zealand is apossible raid. One can never saywhen an attack on a larger scale mightbe attempted, but with the improve-ment in cur military forces andorganisation we will be in a positionto resist any invasion by raiders. 01course, we could not resist a majorattack, any more than Australia couldwithout the help oi the British Navy.”

TIMARU, October 27.Application was made to the No.

3 Transport Licensing Authority, sit-ting at Timaru to-day; by the MountCook and Southern Lakes TouristCompany, Ltd., for a licence to ope-rate a passenger service from anypoint in the Dominion to any otherpoint in the Dominion. Mr T. HLangford presided.

On behalf of the applicants, MrW. J. Sim said that there was agrowing demand for such a serviceby tourists, who preferred to visitthe various resorts in their owntime. The company proposed tomeet tourists arriving by the Mau-nganui at Bluff when the servicewith Melbourne was begun, andtransport them to Te Anau, theHomer tunnel, Manapouri, Queens-town, the Hermitage, and back toBluff by way of Omarama, Oamaru.and Dunedin.

The serivee would be largely aluxury one for tourists who wantedto be picked up anywhere, and takenround the South Island. Similarservices were operating in the NorthIsland taking parties from thesteamers.

Mr E. Brittenden objected on be-half of the Railway Department, hisgrounds being that the service wouldundermine existing ones and wouldalso conflict with services operatedby the Railways Department,

The decision was resei’ved.

The Minister also stated that theresponse to the advertisement callingfor volunteers for the Wellington ter-ritorial squadron had been most grati-fying. An excellent type of candidatehad been attracted. The same com-ment applied to the 130 recruits re-cently enlisted for the regular AirForce.

ACCESS TO SOUTHWESTLAND

RAILWAY EXTENSION

SOUGHT

DEPUTATION WAITS ON

MINISTERS

DEPARTMENTAL REPORT

CHALLENGED

rFrom Our Parliamentary Reporter.!

WELLINGTON. October 27.Some of the details of a departmental

report which has been prepared on theproposals for access into the greatwhite and red pine areas of SouthWestland were criticised by speakersat a deputation to the Prime Minister'the Rt. Hon. M, J. Savage) to-day. Itwas stated by the deputation that thereport favoured access by road rather*han by rail; but some of the facts onwhich this conclusion was based werechallenged, several members of thedeputation speaking strongly in fav-our of the request of the people ofSouth Westland for an extension ofthe present railway south from Ross.

The deputation met the Prime Min-ister, the Minister for Finance (theHon. W. Nash), the Minister for Pub-lic Works (the Hon. R. Semple), theMinister for Railways (the Hon. D. G.Sullivan), and the Minister for Lands(the Hon. F. Langstone), The speak-ers were introduced by Mr J. O’Brien,M.P. for Westland.

“The members of the deputation aresomewhat in the dark because a re-port made on the suggested railwayextension by the heads of Governmentdepartments is not available to them,"Mr O’Brien said; “but the Governmenthas extended to me the courtesy ofallowing me to read the report, and Imust say that it seems that the reportcondemns the railway in favour of anew road. The estimated cost for alight railway is £650,000, and for aroad £460,000; but I cannot under-stand the estimated cost, as quoted inthe report, of bringing timber out byroad and rail. For instance, the costby road is put down at from 2s 4d for100 superficial feet to 3s, and by railfrom 7s 4d to 9s 3d. I notice, 100,that the suggested railway is saddledin the report with interest at 41 percent,, and maintenance and deprecia-tion, while most of the money to beexpended on the road would be free.

Resources of the DistrictMr O’Brien said that he was greatly

concerned at the writing down of theresources of the district as disclosedin the departmental report. An in-ventory made of the timber resourcesof the Dominion, completed in 1924.showed that there was 4496 millionfeet of timber in the Westland County.It was known that a great deal of thatlimber was in the district to be servedbv the proposed railway The report,however, stated that there was only100 million feet of white pine in thearea.

Mr Langstone: That is in the for-estry areas.

It was known positively that therewas 250 million feet of timber in thearea. Mr O’Brien said. A forestry of-ncer had told him that there was 1500million feet in the Ok.arilo foresta'one. Now it was suggested thatthere was only 1440 million feet_ inthe whole area from Ross to Waiho.The statement was made that therewere only 27.000 acres of land avail-able if the timber was taken off: butthe report itself stated that there was145 869 acres held by the Crown, andunder timber.

Other statements that some of theland would not lend itself to improve-ment, and that swamp land would notreadily drain, seemed extraordinary,since he and other members of thedeputation knew of no serious attempthaving been made to improve the landin Question.

Mr N. H. Brown, a member of theWestland County Council, and repre-senting farmers and sawmillers in thearea, said that the present cost oftransporting timber was definitelycrippling the industry. He detailedthe advantages of rail transport.

Mr F. Appleton, representing thesawmilling industry, said that if the1500 million feet of timber availablein the area covered by the proposedline were brought out by rail at thefreight rates operating on New Zea-land railways, a saving of 4s on 100feet could be made. That meant that£3.000,000 would be saved in trans-port alone.

Mr P J McLean, renresentmg manyWest Coast and Westland authorities.Mr J. Donovan, a member of theWestland County Council, and Mr T,Mcßride, president of the WataroaFarmers’ Union, also snoke. Othermembers of the deputation, includingMessrs D. J. Evans and W. Searle wereasked to put their views on paper by'he Prime Minister, who had to leavefor another engagement. Mr Savag?-aid that the Cabinet would consider'he position very carefully, and thatthe representations of the deputationwould be taken into account.

WOOL PRICES

EFFECT OF WARIN CHINA

BRADFORD OPINIONS

PROGRESS OF SUBSTITUTESIN EUROPE

“Leading men in wool circles inBradford are of opinion that woolprices will suffer somewhat throughJapan being at war and her conse-quent difficulty in obtaining creditswith which in past years she hasfinanced her purchases,” said Mr A. M.Carpenter of Fernside, in speaking toa representative of “The Press” yes-terday, of some of his impressions onhis recent visit to the United Kingdom.

Mr Carpenter visited the mills inGermany devoted to the manufactureof “Vistra,” the new substitute forwool, samples of which he has brougntback with him. The Germans, he said,were pushing Vistra—a product ofwood pulp—for all it was worth. Itwas being made up into an amazingarray of mbrics, chiefly for clothing,and Bradford wool men were of opin-ion that in time it would become quitea factor in influencing wool prices. Insome of the processes of manufacturein Germany a bale of wool was mixedwith a bale of the synthetic product,but in other processes the finishedarticle of clothing was 100 per cent.Vistra.

In travelling through North America,Mr Carpenter was impressed with theincreasingly large use to which silkrayon was being put as a substitute fora wide range of articles of woollenclothing.

British Farmers* MethodsSpeaking as a farmer, Mr Carpenter

said that one thing he bad noted withregret during his visit to the UnitedKingdom was the enormous amountof land that had gone out of cultivationin comparison with other Europeancountries. In time of great nationalemergency this would prove BrF lin’sweakest line of defence. Yet, from anagricultural point of view the land ofEngland, with its depth of soil, andother properties, was a great asset tothe English farmer. The land itselfhad wonderful substance, and manycenturies of cultivation had noJ de-pleted its great fertility.

On his way to London from thenorth of England, Mr Carpenter, whowas deputy-leader of the party ofoverseas farmers which toured Britain,visited the Isle of Ely, where he sawpractical agriculture on a very largescale. Sir Frederick Hiam owns andcultivates more than 10,000 acres inEly. This year, said Mr Carpenter,the crops on his land included 2033acres of potatoes, 571 acres of celery,1044 acres of beet, 1849 acres of wheat,.564 acres of barley, 393 acres of oats,413 acres of grass, etc., and 151 acresof peas. The whole area was mostoutstanding, and was an incentive toall overseas visitors.

Mr Carpenter spoke enthusiasticallyof the work of Mr R. S. Forsyth, gen-eral manager of the New ZealandMeat Boam in Britain, in advertisingNew Zealand lamb. Nothing was leftundone to push the sales of this pro-duct, and his campaign was gettingresults. The wide service given tovisitors to New Zealand House by theHigh Commissioner (Mr W. J. Jordan)the Publicity Officer (Mr H. B. t!Drew), and their associates also im-pressed Mr Carpenter,

COLLECTING OF CREAM*

METHODS CRITICISED BY )

Mr R. G. Bishop said that the creambusiness had now been confined to twocompanies in North Canterbury. Themethod of collection was a means orcutting down costs.

No action was taken.It was decided to send a protest

to the director of the fields divisionof the Department of Agriculture (Mr

The most important fact to re-member is that only (NON-ACID)Salts alleviate the pain and suffering.It is quite easy to understand that ifAcid Salts are taken into the bodythey only create or form more acid,and the greater the amount of acid thegreater the pain and depression—thatis why “DOCTOR JIM” is such awonderful, soothing help to ladies andgirls. Those Hot Flushes during theChange of Life period—the BloodPressure and Neuritis pains and thenerve-racking depression—grow lessand less as each dose of this wonderfulhealth combination is taken.

finance and commerceBUTTER PRICE IN LONDON

HEAVY FAT STOCK OFFERINGS

New Zealand butter in London has risen sharply to 146 sper ewt, at which point the market is reported to be strong. Theprice is the highest since July, 1930, and is about 40s per cwtabove the price at the end of October last year. The guaran-teed price equivalent is 112 s per cwt.

Heavy yarclings of fat lambs, sheep, and cattle were offeredat the Addington stock sale yesterday. Next week’s marketwill be a double one, and many producers take the opportunityej getting in early. The lamb supply was very much too largolor the demand, and prices dropped by up to 3s a head. Cattletoo were over plentiful, and prices for big steers came back by2(is to 25s a head and by 10s to 15s a head for. other sorts.Sheep values held, and pigs were firm.

Though the London markets are more cheerful after therecovery in New York, business is small and operators are pro-ceeding cautiously. The fall in the value of the French franc,combined with the labour troubles in that country and theinternational tension, have obscured the outlook.

SYDNEY, October 27.At the wool sales, 11,496 bales were

offered, and 8920 sold, 487 being soldprivately.

Competition came mostly fromFrance and Germany.

Greasy merino made to 25\a, tnehighest price this season.

MERINO AND CROSS-BRED PRICES

STRONGER DEMAND FORCOARSER WOOLS

Merino wool is now selling at a levelwhich should stimulate its use, saysthe latest report of Wmchcombe, Car-son, Ltd. Prices are on the basis niling at this time last year when busi-ness generally was-brisk. Aveia e64’s merino tops are quoted at 32d in

Bradford, a similar figure to mid-OctobG

A contrast exists between the valueof merinos and crossbreds The latterare decidedly more costly thanmonths ago, fine crossbred tops being

30 per cent, higher, and cross-bred tops 50 per cent, dearer. Specialcircumstances have produced that posi-

tion. Demand for crossbreds has beenstimulated by requirements of themfor uniform purposes and last yearreceived a fillip owing to their useCoronation bunting. For some years adifference of lOd to 12dthe price of 64’s merino and 56 s finecrossbred tops. The margin betweenthe two classes is now only sd. matposition is certainly not likely to pre-vail for an extended period. Zea-land and South American crossbredswill shortly be available in large quan-tities but as stocks in consumincentres are small and military needsstill large, a rapid change is not probable.

S The relative cheapness ofmerinos, however, must sooner or laterattract attention.

CHECKING FALL IN PRICE

(U»ITH> PUBS!1 ASSOCIATION —COP’TKIOHT.I

LONDON, October 26.A conclusion that the tin quota

should be reduced to 85 per cent, ofstandard tonnages for the January-

March quarter of 1938 was reached bythe International Tin Committee at aspecial meeting in London ycsteiday.

The committee, however, decidedthat it would meet again on Decem-ber 10. when further informationwould be available, before making a

definite decision along Jho.se lines.The decision conforms with the pre-

diction from London over the week-end that some restriction in produc-tion would be arranged to stem thedownward price of the metal.

The quota has been at 110 per cent,of standard tonnages since March,when it was xxiised from 100 per cent,in an effort to stop the big rise in pricethen taking place. On March 11 tinbrought £3Ol 10s a ton; but has fallensince then, yesterday’s x-ate being£204 15s. The committee, therefore,was faced with the need to vary thequota downwards in the hope that cur-tailed production would bring a re-vival in the market value.

RACING AND TROTTINGMELBOURNE CUP

CLOSE CONTEST EXPECTED

When the weights were issued forthe Melbourne Cup the general opinionwas that the three-year-olds wouldplay a big part in the decision of therace. ,

~

This was in the belief that the olderhorses were not up to the standard ofmany previous years. _ and that thethree-year-olds were likely to provebetter than usual.

That idea has been modified. WhileHua now rec ives credit for being theonly three-year-old with a speciallygood chance, several of the olderhorsesare going to make the task a hard onefor him.

~

, ..

Two of the top-weights in Allunga

and Wotan are evidently going to stripa-, well as at anv previous time. Al-though Wotan did not win the Caul-field°Ciip many keen followers of rac-in'7 will look to him !o equal Archersrecord of two successive MelbourneCups. Peter Pan is the only otherwinner of two Cups, but one was atthree and the other at fiv years, andwhile in one he had weight-for-age. hecarried 51b in excess of it in the other.Wotan has 51b less than weight-for-ag

Prince, who was third lastvear. Flood Tide, B]?ck Mac,Demotic. Mestoravon, Manolive, Mut-able. and Sir Regent are among thosewith staying extensions. So far fromthe coming Melbourn' Cup being at alleasy to win. it promises to be one ofthe’ hardest of recent years.

A tot has been hrard concerning thealleged lack of oualUv in nresent stay-ers. but, after the Cun, “Not so bad’will probably be said of them as awhole.

with Silver Streak on his return fremWellington, and yesterday other mem-bers of his team—Mount Val, Peter-sham, and Pink Bond—arrived fromOamaru.Riding on Saturday

Cerne Abbas and Kindly will beridden at Motukarara by C. Goulsbroand Dollar Prince and Greshain willhave the services of H. Goldfinch.Two Solid Mounts

L. J. Ellis has been engaged to ridethe Te Rapa gelding Whirling in theStewards’ Handicap. His mount inthe New Zealand Cup will be WuciChase. ,

Minor SuccessesAt the Richmond (Sydney) races on

Tuesday the Hunting Song gelding,Lion Hunt, won the first division ofthe Novice Handicap, The Limondgelding, Kow Tow, formerly trained atRiccarton, won the Maiden Handicap.

Rider’s Appeal ,

A Sydney cable message states thatM. McCarten’s appeal against hismonth’s suspension will be heard to-day, but no matter what the outcomewill be, H, Badger will ride Ajax mthe Victoria Derby.

A Handsome ReturnThe recent trip to the North Island

by F. D. Jones with his three horses,Cerne Abbas. Royal Chief, and Pro-tector was a profitable one. In anthe trio contested 15 races for ninewins, two second placings, and twothird placings, Cerne Abbas and Pro-tector each having an unplaced per-formance. Cerne Abbas won £395 fortwo wins, a second, and a third. Royal

Chief £1305 for four wins, a second,and a third, and Protector £7To forthree wins and a second, or a totalof £2970 on a seven weeks’ trip.Jones has opened the season well byleading in nine winners to date, andis at present equal with the Oamarutrainer T. Hobbs on the top of thelist of winning trainers.Rough Passages

Screamer was very unlucky atTrentham. In his first race, he metwith interference during the running,

and then finished close up to theplaced horses. On Monday, with L.J Ellis in the saddle, he was pushedout just as the barrier went up, andwas left several lengths with Rock-ingham. He ran in the rear for oyerhalf the journey, and again finishedclose up. He will have an opportunityto make amends at Motukarara onSaturday. �Quick Promotion

Suleiman’s win at Trentham onMonday brought his stake earnings to£520 gained from three successes. Heis thus out of the hack class as a resultof his three appearances in publica performance that has probably notbeen equalled in New Zealand for along time amongst the back class.Suleiman is a well-grown three-year-old by Acre from Quinkama, by QumAbbey from Kakama, by Soult. Quin-kama was also the dam of Namakia,a high-class galloper, at present rac-ing in Melbourne,Not Much Wrong

The statement published m theNorth Island a short time before theWellington meeting that Cuddle wasfar from being right, and was un-likely to carry on in her training, wassoundly refuted by her two sterlingraces at Trentham. She was beatenonly in tjie last stride or two in theWellington Handicap on the first day,

and on Monday was the orfly seriousrival to Royal Chief, who had to putup a fine performance to beat herhome at the end of a record mile anda quarter. It is unfortunate that shewas taken out of the New ZealandCup, and was not nominated for the

Riccarton meeting, but no doubt shewill carry on in her preparation witha view to attempting to win her thirdsuccessive Auckland Cup.Brighter Prospects

Happy Night created a good impres-sion by his win at Rangiora on Mon-day, and now that he has broken hi?maiden status he may carry on as auseful stake-earner. This three-year-

old has always shown promise, buthas been unlucky in many of his races,while in others he has failed to per-form up to his track showings. HappyN: ght, who cost 240 guineas as a year-’ing at Trentham. can boast of somearistocraticbreeding, as he is by Night-march from Gay Round, who. by Gay

Lad from Prayer Wheel, is a halt-sister to Entreaty, dam of Phar Lap.Like his sire, Happy Night hasprobably needed time to come right,

and his forthcoming engagements, in-clud'ng that in the Spring Plate atthe New Zealand Cuo meeting, wiHbe invested with much interest. H": s to race at Motukarara on Saturday,and has 7-7. including 71b penalty, inthe Brackenfield Hack Handicap.

A CUP TRIAL

CRACK PACERS AT HUTTPARK

PROSPECTS OF DE SOTO ANDVILLAGE GUY

The Wellington Trotting Club’s meet-ing, to be held at Tlutt Park on Sat-urday, has not drawn the fields ex-pected: but this merely shows thatowners and trainers are not preparedto add to their expenses by travelling

horses not expected to win a race. Thefields, however, are big enough to pro-vide the best class of racing -nd qual-ity is represented in the New ZealandCup Trial which, however, may notbe won by a horse engaged in the Cup.

The New Zealand Cup Trial is a mis-

nomer, for of the nine acceptors onlyfive are eligible for the Cup; but theWellington Club is at a disadvantagein having to follow the New Brightonand Oamaru Clubs’ meetings, at eachof which a mile and a quarter race ofpractically the same class was pro-vided. Horses in preparation for thebig race must be carefully handled,and the two chances of racing alreadyprovided are considered enough forhorses in preparation. The Welling-ton Trotting Club—although it wasfirst in the field with the Cuo trial—-may find it necessary next year to re-vise its programme and cater forhorses of a class more numerous.

Yet nine starters should provide agreat race, and with the short limitof 36 yards that separates De Sotofrom the limit horses, backers willstill be in a quandary. De Soto s winat Oamaru on Monday was decisive,and a great improvement on his NewBrighton form. A good beginner. 36ya~ds is not too sever" a handicap fora horse of his class. He may. or maynot. nedd a race to complete his pre-paration for the big event next month,but with his win at Oamaru and thepossibility of success at Wellington, hewill have added to hj; account a hand-some total that might not be so easilygained against the best field of pacers

in the Dominion.De Soto’s prospects are bright: but

on 24 yards is Supertax, who. with atrack to su’t him, has shown himselfcapable of beating the best mi'e anda auarter horses in New Zealand.

In the last month Village Guy hastwice won ov°r two miles; but in eachcase it was ability to sprint that speltsuccess. He has improved out of allknowledge, and carries the bloom ofa horse in perfect racing order. WhatC S. Donald might yet do with thiswell-bred horse is a question.

No form that Glenrossie has dis-played entitles him to favouritism, andhis racing on his home track has neverbeen impressive. Bonnv Azure hailsfrom F. J. Smith’s stable and on thisaccount she will have manv friends.Smith is a fine reinsman and extracts

I the best from a horse without resortto punishment.

Lucky Jack and CompanyRollo’s close second to War Buoy at

New Brighton is possibly a reason whvh° should be supported; but LuckyTack, also on the limit, will be pre-ferred. Lucky Jack is a fine pacer andthough he will be without the servicesof R. B. Berry, ho will still be a prob-lem. .

, , „

'

Guy Junior was very tired at the endof two miles at Oamaru on Saturdayand it was only natural to suppose thathe would not make a very brave show-ing in the Weston Hand’cap later in

th" day. Wellington racing, however,mav tell a different storv. but only anoptimist would sunnort him in a raceagainst the c°mpany he is now set tomeet, whfie Llewellyn’s Pride, on hisdav a good pacer, has shown no recentform to encourage support in thisevent. .

. ,

The Cup Trial is an open race, butSoto will find in Luc’--y Jack and

Village Guy two formidable oppon-ents.

TROTTING NOTES

A ReminderAcceptances for all events on the

first day of the New Zealand Metro-politan Trotting Club’s soring meetingwill close at 5 p.m. on Monday.New Totallsator

The new electric totalisator at Ad-dington is completed except for a fewminor details, and will be in use forthe first time at the New ZealandMetropolitan Trotting Club’s meetingwhich will commence on November9. Mr L. I. Rea. the totalisator mana-ger, has arrived in Christchurch, andunder his direction the machine willbe given a triai at 2 p.m. to-day.From Durbar Lodge

The Approved Handican at the NewSouth Wales Trotting Club’s meetingon October 18 was won by the three-year-old Springfield Globe, by GlobeDerby from Ayr, the dam of CloudvRange. Ayr, previously at DurbarLodge, Ashburton, was sold to Mr E.Tatlow, of Tasmania.At Hutt Park

Events for unhoppled trotters at theWellington Trotting Club’s meeting onSaturday have drawn very poor fields,seven having been paid up for in thePetone'Handicap, and only six in thePresident’s Handicap. It is plain thatowners are not taking advantage of'he opportunities offered, and possiblythe club in future, for its own safetymight find it an advantage to con-fine these races to maiden performers.It would be a retrograde step; buten?nce. at times, must be considered.Winnie Parrish will make the journeyfrom Kaikoura, and if at her best willmake things interesting: but in theopening event the form of Gyrate atOamaru should influence the majoritvin their betting. In the Improvers’Handicap of a mile and a half he fin-ished second to Listowel after con-ceding 36 yards to the winner, andregistering 3min 28 l-ssec, so hischances off 3min 37sec look bright. Hemay not be a good stayer, but up to amile and a half he will hold his ownImproving Pacers

The October Handicap of two miles,4min 33sec class, has attracted a fieldof 10 horses that have graduated toalmost the best class, and the race isthe most open on the programme.Aide de Camp, off the limit, showedhimself at the August meeting to bea pacer of class, and while he may bemore at home over a shorter journey,two miles is not too far for him. Heis regarded as one of the fast improv-ing band of pacers that may have tobe reckoned - ith in the New ZealandCup next year,

Blair Athol, in the hands of S. A.Edwards, is a pacer of breeding andclass, and at his best will run a greatrace; and Casanova is as brilliant ashe is unreliable. For the latter reasonhe cannot be considered, nor can Chen-wood, who has long been off the win-ning list. Iraq showed a glimpse ofhis true form at Addington in August,and confidence in his ability is ex-pressed in his owner’s intention to sendhim on the long trip from Dunedin toWellington. Play On is a rare stayer,but whether his form is good enoughfor a race of this class remains to beseen. Southern Smile and FriscoLady appear to be Aide de Camp’smost formidable opponents. Both aresplendid pacers, and Frisco Lady, es-pecially, anpeals in a race of thisclass, provided the going is firm. Ona wet track Southern Smile would bepreferred.

Ironside, now in Auckland under thecare of F. J. Smith, has developed intoa good reliable pacer since leavingCanterbury, and his second to hisstable-mate, King’s Warrior, at Auck-

land was enough to show that he wasin racing order. If Aide de Camp isbeaten at Wellington it may be byFrisco Lady or Ironside.Sandusky

It is possibly too much to ask ayoung three-year-old like Sandusky tocompete with success over a mile anda half, against matured horses such a$he will meet in the Borough Handi-cap; but the Derby candidate will havemany admirers. He i a colt of class,and therefore entitled to respect. Awin for him in this race would mater-ially enhance his Derby prospects.Great Divide has two victories to hiscredit, and while he has beaten no-thing of class he won impressively,and will do even better. In M. C.McTigue’s hands he will lack nothingin the way of reinsmanship, De laPaix raced prominently on the WestCoast, where Twenty Grand won, andthe form of Bill Grattan and ColonelGrattan has been full of promise. Theothers do not appeal. On a firmtrack, Colonel Grattan may win, butin heavy going his chances v ill notbe favoured. Possibly Bill Grattanand Great Divide are the most reli-able.

LEWIS PASS ROADTO THE EDITOR OP THE PRESS.

Sir,—As one who is interested incaravaning and motoring generally, Ishould like to assure others who maybe contemplating crossing the Lewis

Pass, that it is a perfectly good roadand the most timid driver need haveno fears. As a matter of fact, it is aperfect “pass” between the hills

_

andnot over them, and the surface is inexcellent condition.'The whole jobreflects very great credit on all whowere concerned with the making ofit. I remember discussing this pass withMr Burbury, of Glynn Wye Station,the morning after he so successfullyheaded a deputation to the Rt, Hon.J. G. Coates pressing for this greatwork to be undertaken. He then de-scribed the pass, but I must confessthat until I actually crossed it myselfI had no idea at all of its beauties.May I express the hope that the Rt.Hon. J. G. Coates, who was responsiblefor the commencement of the pass,and Mr E. P. Burbury, who persist-ently advocated the undertaking, begiven a very honoured place at theofficial opening next Saturday, as wellas Mr Semple and others who havecarried the work through.

It will be a wonderful trip forany motorists, and I am sure that thosewho picture hard climbing and roughroads will be most agreeably sur-prised. Allow me to congratulate MrBurbury on giving us such a wonder-ful undulating road to the Coast.—Yours, etc.,

JAMES M CRAIG.October 26, 1937.

PREPARATION OF WICKETSTO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS.

Sir,—l was very, interested and’amused in the report in The Pressto-day giving the comment of membersof the Canterbury Cricket Associationregarding the state of wickets at Hag-ley Park. I want it to be clearlyunderstood that I am not writing mdefence of the groundsman, J. H.Templeton, but to try to show that ifthe members of the Canterbury CricketAssociation had more confidence in*their groundsmen and consulted themmore, far more good would result thanthe destructive criticism levelled at

being disrespectful in anyway to the Canterbury Cricket Asso-ciation, I want to say definitely thatthe cricket season opens in Canter-bury far too early (I am speakingnow from a groundsman’s point ofview), for the reason that where aground has been used for winter sportit is almost an impossibility to haveit in anything like playing order bvthe opening of the cricket season. Ihave no hesitation in saying that werethe opening delayed for two or threeweeks, better playing conditions couldand would be provided.

I often wonder if individual mem-bers of the Canterbury Cricket Asso-ciation, and especially the critics, everrealise what a groundsman’s problemsare early in the season, when he is,so to speak, up to his neck in grass,with little or no time on hand for the'completion of preparation of wicketblocks. And this is the importantpoint I wish to make clear: the groundusually in September is in an idealplastic gtate to takq the heavy rollerand with a later opening of the sea-son, the tables or blocks would be ableto receive the consolidating that is sonecessary and important for good wic-kets. Please do not forget there are noshort cuts to wicket preparation—mois-ture, roller and time, with an extrasunply of time, are essential.

The statement made by a memberthat it was impossible to get a fastwicket on Hagley Park because of adepth of nine feet of solid earth onthe playing area, is, I think, about themost stupid remark I have ever read,and I should just like to enlightenthat member that it is a groundsman sambition to get a foundation under hiswicket so as to be certain the wicketwill be reasonably true, although atpresent he has not sufficient time toconsolidate it to a depth of nine feet.

As I said earlier in my letter, with-out being discourteous, much of theblanks for the conditions as they existcan be laid at the feet of the variousgrounds committees. They are elected,names published, first off the groundat the end of the season and last onat the opening of the new season, in-stead of, in my opinion, meeting ontheir respective grounds every fort-night and discussing various ways andmeans of improvements and ventilatingany complaints that arise from time totime. I venture to say that I haveyet to see iq wicket preparation theobstacle that cannot be overcome.

I am living in hope that some dayin the near future a Heaven-sentgroundsman will visit our grounds, andwith a wave of the magic wand, makethese ideal conditions to suit the mostsceptical player. Then perhaps thegroundsman’s dream will come truethat at long last we have got togethera team of cricketers instead of (shall Isay?) a team of grousers. So hereshoptag._Yours.ete GRAy

HOTEL LICENCE AT ARTHUR’SPASS

10 THE EDITOR OF TUB PBES9.

Sir,—l understand that the Hon. G.Forbes is introducing a bill into theHouse to enable a transfer of a licencefrom Bealey to Arthur’s Pass. This isbeing done in spite of the fact thatthe residents of Arthur’s Pass do notwant a licensed hotel ip their town-Sh

With many others, I shall be watch-ing to see how the members of theHouse vote on this bill. Two-thirds ofthe members of Parliament profess tostand for the democratic principle ofthe voice of the people, as againstvested interests; it will be interesting

therefore to see how many practisejvhat they preach.-Yours,

MODEL MAP REMOVEDTO THIS EDITOR OV THE PRESS.

Sir,—Since writing my previousletters on this subject, I have had thehonour of getting to know Mr G. A.Mazey, who was primarily responsiblefor putting “New Zealand” in the gar-dens. and I can fully appreciate hiskeen disappointment and rightful in-

dignation at its removal. Mr Mazey

went to the trouble of planning themap correctly and of having it laidout in the pond to the points of thecompass so that it was in its correctposition relative to the rest of theworld. This map has been and wouldhave continued to be of • historical in-

terest as the work of one of our olderand highly esteemed citizens. We havemonuments in our city* cprted to thememory of famous people who haveprobably never seen Christchurch. butthat which was a highly interesting,useful, and most suitable monument toone oi our own loyal citizens, we havedestroyed. The map was put in thePublic^Gardens by a publicly-mindedman for the general interest of thepublic. Has anyone therefore anyright to remove it? And if so, surelyit would be only courteous to consulthis opinion before doing so. I shouldlike to reaffirm what I have previouslysaid, viz., that the “map” was one ofthe most popular attractions of thegardens. Its educational rak wasbeyond doubt. I sincerely trust there-

fore .hat some responsible citizen willtake steps to have this matter rectified.

—Yours, etc., bleOctober 26, 1937.

THE DUST NUISANCE INST. ALBANS

TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS,

Sir,—Seeing the City Council haswisely delayed the Milk Supply Bill,it might turn its attention to a moreimportant business of relaying thedust in Courtenay street, St. Albans.It must know the state of this roadbecause during August and Septem-ber the water-cart was» ordered tothis road to relay the dust, and lastWednesday two men were here sweep-ing dust out of pot holes and drop-ping in a few stones covered with tar—a sheer waste of ratepayers’ money.What is badly wanted and should bedone is to tar-seal this small stretch ofroad from Westminster street to Mal-vern street. It is a main artery tothe public park and carries twice thetraffic of other streets running north.Trusting this letter will be seen bythe powers that be and that tar-sealingwill follow.—Yours, etc.,

CURSE THE DUST.October 16, 1937.[The City Enginer (Mr A. R. Gal-

braith) had no comment to make onthis letter.]

BUS STOPSTO TUB EDITOR OF THE PRESS.

Sir,—I see by the papers that theCity Council is instituting new trafficways in Cathedral square. The bustraffic to Linwood will have to bealtered to come into line with thesealterations. Surely this is an oppor-tune time for the Tramway Board togive the Linwood-Dallington-Wainonipeople a fair deal in regard to busstops. At present we have to wait atthe back of the Cathedral, where thereis not an atom of shelter. The strongeasterly winds we have had recentlyhave made waiting in that exposedposition most unpleasant. Our otherchoice is to go back to the White Hartstop—also a most unpleasant place towait because of the traffic congestionthere. There seems to be no reasonwhy that stop should not be movedon to a point just north of the en-trance to Hallenstein’s Buildings.Another rather unreasonable thing wehave to put-up with is that the busesthat only go to the Square go rightround the Cathedral and land us atthe outgoing stop. This is very annoy-ing for anyone wishing to catch a tram,as it very often means just the differ-ence between catching or missing atram. This is particularly noticeableon a Sunday evening, when trams runat longer intervals. Surely the buscould stop in front of the Cathedral,where the Brett’s road bus stops.

I know that it is not always as easyto make alterations as it appears tobe to an outsider, but these three de-fects are so obvious that surely some-thing can be done.—Yours, etc.,

CONSTANT TRAVELLER.October 26, 1937,[The general manager of the Christ-

church Tramways Board (Mr J. E. Jar-man), to whom this letter was referred,said: “When trams were running toLinwood, via Colombo street, stopswere made at the corner of Colomboand Cashel streets, and in Cathedralsquare opposite the Bank of New Zea-land shelter. Buses now run from therailway station along Manchesterstreet, stops being made at the WhiteHart Hotel, which is about the samedistance from the Square as the otherstop was. The stop in the square isat approximately the same place asbefore.” Mr Jarman said that an extrastop on Sundays would increase therunning-time of the buses.]

WORKING HOURS FORSHEARERS

TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS.

Sir,—Could you please explainthrough youf* correspondence columnsthe actual position as to shearing hoursthis season. There seems to be a gen-eral opinion about that there are noset hours a week for shearers, anathat shed hands may be worked morethan 44 hours a week, provided theyare naid the extra hours pro rats.

This does not seem in accordancewith the present Government s ideals,and I think that shearing should ceaseas soon as 44 hours have been com-pleted.—Yours, etc,

SHED HAND,

October 24, 1937.[When this letter was referred to

him, Mr R. T. Bailey, officer in charge

of the Labour Department said thatthe hours for shearers were 44 a week.Shearers could work until 4 p.m. onSaturdays in those cases where 44hours had not been worked in oneweek. The award provided that shedhands should be paid P r° *ata anytime they worked after noon on Satur-days.]

Robert Hempstalk, bil-liard; raioon proprietor, of Sumner, was•he defendant, as the car involvedm the collision was owned by him andwar dr.von by his agent, Allen JohnHemptta.k, a minor.

The uiry found that defendant wasnegl.gvnt in that he failed to keep aproper look-out, and also had the lastopportunity of avoiding the accident.They found that there was no contri-butor'/ negligence on the part of theplaintiff.

The case was heard by his HonourMr Justice Northcroft. Mr R. A.Young appeared for plaintiff, and MrD. 3V. Russell for defendant.

It was Christmas Eve last year whenthe accident occurred at the cornerof Nayland street and Wakefield ave-nue, Sumner.

Further al-legations in the statement, of claimwere that the car came over the in-tersection. too fast, that the driverfailed to keep a proper look-out, failedto give way to a vehicle on the rightand failed to slow down to or takesteps to clear the plaintiff’s bicycle.

Constable Kearney did not resumeduty until April 21. 1937.

A genera] denial was filed by thedefence, with an allegation of neglig-ence against the constable as an al-ternative defence.

Kearney said, in evidence, that vis-ibility was poor. When he came tothe intersection he did not see anytraffic approaching. He was well onto the intersection when he was struckby a motor-car coming on his leftalong Wakefield avenue. He had astrong electric light on his bicycle.

Referring to his injuries Kearneysaid that after a full day’s duty hefelt very tired. After being on dutyat one of the Springbok games he hadbeen so fatigued that he had had tosit down. In reply to Mr Russell hesaid that he had won a running raceat the police picnic in March, butthat he had been given a good startas he was an invalid. He also toldMr Russell that he had gone with somefishermen in an endeavour to recovera body at the foot of Scarboroughcliffs, but he had only sat at the backof the boat.

Medical evidence as. to the injuriesreceived by Kearney, and the pain andresultant effect was given by Dr.. R.Bakewell and Dr. L. A. Bennett for theDlaintiff. and Dr. J. L. Will and Dr.W. H. Bremner for the defendant.

Aerial Views of Southern Main Trunk Line. St. Saviour9s Market.

BY AIR OVER THE ROUTE OF THE SOUTH ISLAND MAIN TRUNK RAILWAY.—Steady progress is being made with the work of completing the South Island Main Trunkrailway, and these aerial views of North Canterbury and Marlborough give a good idea of the nature of the country to be covered by the new line. (1) The Hurunui Gorge, with the railwaybridge in the foreground and the traffic bridge in the extreme distance. (2) The Amuri Bluff, where a tunnel half a mile long is being driven through the hills. (3) The mouth of the Clarence,the bridging of which will be a major work. The road and the traffic bridge can be seen. (4) A few miles inland the Seaward Kaikouras rise from sea level to nearly 9000 feet. Mount Kaiterau(8700 feet) is shown. (5) One of the Union Airways machines which daily passes over this country. (6) Looking up the Conway river. The Conway camp and the route of the railway linealong the left (true) bank of the river can be seen. (7) Where the new line follows the coast south of Amuri Bluff. Claverley camp is in the centre, with cuttings and embankments under

construction on each side.

CHARM OF HAGLEY PARK.—The sheep grazing on the luxuriant pastures of HagleyPark make a charming picture which could be found in few cities the size of Christchurch.

FINANCES ANDRATES

PAPANUI MEMORIAL

HALL

COUNTY COUNCIL IN AQUANDARY

HINT OF LEGAL ACTION AGAINST

WAIMAIRI

The control and financial positionof the Papanui Memorial Hall andlibrary, and the responsibility for therates levied by the Christchurch City

Council on the property, were dis-cussed by the Waimairi County Coun-cil last evening in a debate whichwas described at various stages as“leading nowhere” and “as clear asmud.” A hint was dropped by onemember that the City Council intendedto take legal proceedings against theWaimairi Council for outstanding rates,which have not been paid for two orthree years.

The hall was built some years agowith a loan raised in the surround-ing area, which was then part of theWaimairi County. The council did notrate the property. Since, the hall andpart of the area which raised the loenhave come into the city, which levieda rase on the property, part of whichhad to be paid by the Papanui, Hare-wood, Wairarapa, send Fendalton rid-ings of the county. A committee wasset up to control the hall, with tworepresentatives from the WaimairiCounty, which was held responsiblefor two-fifths of the rates, and repre-sented accordingly. For a time a profitwas made from the hall and the rateswere paid out of this, but recently noprofit was made and the rates werenot paid by the county.

The subject was brought up by Cr.W. G. Chapman, who, although not oneof the county’s representatives onthe committee, was, after some argu-ment, allowed to make a report. Hesaid that the 'library committee hadrefused to pay any contribution to thehall committee. It was £ls in debt,and did not intend to pay, although ithad the funds. Moreover, it had madealterations without the permission ofthe hall committee. He would like toknow what the Waimairi Council wasgoing to do about it.

Responsibility for RatesCr. C. W. Moore said that the hall

belonged to the city, and he did notsee how the county could take anyaction. The hall committee alwayswent to the City Council for adviceand he had heard that the city intendedto take legal proceedings against thecounty for outstanding rates. Thecommittee had recently passed a motionto write to the County Council askingfor the deficit, but it was not carriedout because of the intended action bythe city.

Cr. W. J. Walter said that the wholematter should be tested out to see whowas responsible for the rates.

“Ask the County Clerk to set putthe legal position,” said Cr. W. Price,who added that there was no need togo to the expense of a legal investiga-

tl(Cr GG. Gardner: The position willalways be unsatisfactory. Christchurchhas the voting power on the commit-tee. Our two representatives axe onlya minority.

Cr. Chapman: What we want toknow now is whether the library ispart of the hall.

Cr. W. P. Spencer asked whetherthe hall was the only one rated in thecity area. *

_ _

The County Clerk (Mr G. S. Cow-per) said that the council rated allproperties of this kind. He expressedthe view that the rates should not bepart of the financial statements of thecommittee. A statement on the legalposition had been prepared some timeago* and he could, obtain it for thenext meeting.

No action was taken.

_______________

GRADUATED LANDTAX

APPLICATION TO FARMPROPERTIES

WIDE VARIATIONS

Landowners, both rural and urban,are looking forward keenly to theprominent inquiry into the incidenceof taxation, because they believe thatthey have a particularly strong casefor the adjustment of the graduatedland tax

;which they consider bears

most unjustly on several sections ofthe community. In the opposition tothe tax, the New Zealand Sheep-owners’ and Farmers’ Federation hastaken a leading part, and has produceda series of figures which show a num-ber of anomalies.

Land tax for many years has beena feature of the taxation system ofNew Zealand. It was originally im-posed as a measure to secure the cut-ting up of very large holdings, and inthe early part of the century it waseffective in securing a great measureof subdivision of big areas. It laterbecame an essential part of the taxa-tion for revenue, and also for a perioda substitute for the assessment of in-come tax on the earnings from land.

An Unpopular TaxLand nx has been consistently un-

popular since the war. The TaxationCommittee of 1922 said: “The gradu-ated land tax as at present imposedis not in the best interest of tlie Do-minion, inasmuch as it restricts pro-duction and enterprise, and a flat rate’hould be substituted.” The Sim Com-mission reported in 1924 that, “thegraduated land tax was originally de-signed to break up large estates. There: s no evidence to show that it is re-quired any longer for this purpose,and there is much evidence showingthat it is now preventing the develop-ment of large areas of land requiringa considerable amount of capital ex-penditure to break in. The graduatedland tax applied to business premisesis a serious handicap to trade and in-dustrial enterprise, and serves no goodpurpose.”

In 1929 Sir Joseph Ward applied anincreased graduated land tax, but be-cause of general objections raised, headded'a hardship clause under whicha special commission could grant re-lief where a farmer was unable finan-cially to meet the tax. Of the 623cases dealt with by the commission,399 were remitted in full and 109 werereduced by half, and in the followingyear the tax was repealed.

It is contended that the present taxis inequitable, especially in that itsweight varies from one part of thecountry to another without referenceto the ability of the individual to pay,and that it bears heavily on businesseswhich from their very nature mustown land in several towns to ensurethe proper distribution of their goods.The tax also must be paid in a badyear as well as a good, and thus mightcontribute to the loss of a cpmpany orindividual.

The farming community claim thatthe tax bears hardest on farmers, be-cause under its provisions the manwith land of a capita! value of lessthan £3OOO is exempt, and the manwith land which has required littledevelopment, and is therefore of arelatively high unimproved value,must pay considerably more than aman, possibly very much better off.whose land has required a great dealof improvement.

High Unimproved ValueIn certain parts of the Dominion, and

particularly in Marlborough. Canter-bury, Otago, and parts of Hawke’sBay, the country was originally cleantussock country, and small amounts,in proportion to the value of the land,were needed to be put into improve-ments. On an average, about one-fifthof the value of this type of land isrepresented by improvements, the restbeing unimproved value for taxingand rating. In many other parts ofNew Zealand, the land has requiredclearing of bush, draining, and grass-ing, and has otherwise had large sumsspent upon it, with the result that halfand sometimes more of the total valueof the farm is represented in improve-ments, the balance being left as theunimproved or taxable value.

Contrasts of the amount of taxationpayable on these two classes of coun-try show extremely wide variations,as the country that required little orno improvement to make it suitablefor woolgrowing is not necessarilycapable of‘carrying as many sheep asland that has required great improve-ment, in fact, the reverse is generallythe case. In many cases, particularlyon run country that can carry nothingbut sheep, and can be worked eco-nomically only in large blocks, theland tax imposes a fixed annualcharge amounting to shillings a headof sheep where the unimproved valueis high.

Comparison of ValuesA comparison of the capital and un-

improved values of different countiesin New Zealand shows an extraordin-arily wide range, and demonstratesthe differentiation of the graduatedland tax. In rural counties, the un-improved value ranges from 27 percent, of the capital value, to 76 percent, of the capita] value.

What this means is shown clearly

in the figures for the two counties ofAkaroa and Waimarino, which haveabout the same capital value, and in

other ways are fairly readily compar-able. The following figures give acomparison:- Waimarino. Akaroa.Caoital value .. £1.704.202 £1,795,490Unimproved value £469,395 £1.282.290Area (Eq. miles) 889

|MS :: 31,449 17,953pf|s .. 1,882 1.822Capital value (an

acre) .. £3 £l6 8sUnimproved value

(an acre) .. 17s £ll 15sConsiderable areas in Waimarino

have an unimproved value of about£1 10s a sheep, but in Akaroa, witha stock population of about 40 percent, that of Waimarino, and includ-ing many mountain tops, much of theland has an unimproved value of be-tween £5 and £8 a sheep.

It is claimed that the graduated landtax has had a great deal to do withthe slackness of the rural mortgagebusiness, because the tax is a firstcharge on the land, and must be paidbefore mortgage interest, a fact whichplaces the first mortgagee in the posi-tion actually of being only a secondmortgagee.

LOANS STILLWANTED

BUILDING SOCIETIES*POSITION

ANXIETY OVER NEWLEGISLATION

Though there was still cause loranxiety over the effects of the Gov-ernment housing scheme on the busi-ness of building societies, the MutualBenefit Building and Investment So-ciety of Canterbury (Permanent) wasstill receiving applications for loans,said the chairman, Mr W. CharlesBean, in his address to shareholdersat the annual meeting yesterday. MrBean described the society’s operationsfor the year as very satisfactory.

“In my address last year, I refer-red to the housing scheme inauguratedby the Government, and stated thatyour directors viewed this new depar-ture with some anxiety,” said Mr Bean.“Of course this has an effect upon theoperations of a society such as this, butwe are still receiving applications forloans, and although the matter stillgives cause for anxiety, wo think thatin spite of the Government’s action,there will still be people who will beglad to avail themselves of the ser-vices of this and similar societies. Ialso referred to the Mortgagors andLessees Rehabilitation Act and the ap-pointment of Commissions under thisact. These Commissions have nowbeen sitting for some time, and onemight say a good deal with referenceto them, but it is perhaps unneces-sary.”

In his review of the accounts, MrBean said; “Loans amount to £215.0004s Bd, as against £209,279 11s 9d lastyear, an increase of £5720 12s lid, butit should be stated that this year, anamount of £3323 Bs* 6d for loansgranted but not paid out. has beentaken into account. Deposits havedecreased from £127,989 4s 9d to£120,566 3s 9d, a difference of £7423Is, which is rather a satisfactory fea-ture of the accounts. ‘B’ investmentshares have increased from £9709 8s4d to £13,616 4s 2d, a difference of£3906 15s lOd, which is also satisfac-tory.

“Interest received shows an increaseof £57 16s 4d, and property revenuean increase of £57 0s 2d, as comparedwith last year's figures. The interestreceived this year was £11,690 Is lid,as against £11,632 5s 7d last year. Thegross profit this year is greater thanlast year by £l4l 17s 2d. but the netprofit is less by £BB 9s sd, the lat-ter fact being accounted for by theincrease in interest on investmentshares. The expenses of managementthis year have increased by £129 7s3d.

“As you will see from the profit andloss account, the result of the year’soperations is a credit of £7356 11s lid,and after providing for the usual divi-dend of 6i per cent... and creditinginvestment shares with interest at thesame rate, there remains to credit thesum of £3358 3s. To this must be addedthe sum of £1092 0s 5d carried for-ward from last year, so that the totalcredit balance is £4450 3s sd. In theopinion of the directors it is impera-tive that we should continue to main-tain a strong finance.”

The report was adopted.Mr J. S. Bowie congratulated the di-

rectors on the sound state of the fin-ances of the society. Ten years ago. hesaid, reserves were only £16.000, butnow they were £34.000, the growthbeing the direct result of the carefulpolicy of the directors.

Messrs R. E. McDougall and ArnaudMcKellar were re-elected directors,and Messrs Mitchell and Son were re-appointed shareholders’ auditors.

It was agreed to raise the provisionfor directors’ fees from £4OO to £450.

Votes of thanks were cai-ried to thedirectors, secretary, and staff.

CANADIAN FLOURPRICES

RISE NOT UNEXPECTED

SMALL QUANTITY REQUIREDIN DOMINION

The rise in the price 6f flour gristedin New Zealand from Canadian wheatwas expected because a shortage ofwheat has forced up prices in Canada,said Mr R. McPherson, general mana-ger of the Wheat Committee yesterday,when referring to complaints of therise. Bakers were warned some monthsago of the possibility of a rise, he said.

“The increase in the price of Canad-ian flour was not unexpected by bakersas several months ago they were ad-vised by the Wheat Committee that onaccount of an increase in the worldprice of wheat, a rise in the price ofCanadian flour could be expectedabout October,” said Mr McPherson.“The only Canadian wheat importedinto New Zealand is No. 1 Hard Mani-toba, which this year, on account ofbad weather in Canada is in very shortsupply, and which, because of a world-wide demand for mixing purposes hasincreased considerably in price.

“The Canadian flour, which will beused in New Zealand till the end ofMarch, 1938, will not amount to morethan 2200 tons, which is slightly lessthan H per cent, of the total flour used.

‘.Before the inauguration of thewheat and flour scheme about 12,000tons of flour was imported annuallyfrom Canada and the United States,and apart from the loss of the homemarket for New Zealand wheat-grow-ers, flour-millers, and workers, this im-portation of flour meant a shortage ofnearly 5000 tons of bran and pollardfor the pig and poultry industries.Many bakers are now of the opinionthat Canadian flour is unnecessary forgeneral mixing purposes, and. use itonly for special bread requiring a verystrong flour.

“The Wheat Committee, as is gener-ally known, had 1200 acres of wheatspecially grown last season in vari-ous parts of the wheat districts forexperimental purposes. This wheatwas recently gristed and widely dis-tributed amongst 1 bakers throughoutNew Zealand for testing, and reportsnow coming to hand indicate thatflour made from certain New Zealandwheats can be used successfully forthe same purposes as those for whichCanadian has hitherto been employed.”

WRESTLING

WOODS AND NOLANDDRAW

CLEVER AND EXCITING BOUT

One of the brightest and cleverestmatches in Christchurch for some seasonsended in a draw in the Theatre Royallast night, when Joe Woods (15st 81b)

drew with Don Noland (16st 101b). Eachwrestler gained one fall, Woods takinghis in the first round and Noland beingawarded a penalty fall in the seventh.The bout was exceedingly fast, and wasmade the more attractive by the fullknowledge of wrestling shown by bothmen. For each hold there was an effectiveand sometimes brilliant counter, and bothmen were obviously very much in earn-est.

Woods more than compensated for hisdisadvantage in weight by showing greaterspeed and initiative. The fierceness of hiselbow jolts did not make him popularwith the crowd, nor with Noland, butgained him one fall and enabled him tobreak from several awkward holds.

Woods’s fall was gained in the first min-ute of the first round. With heavy elbowjolts he knocked Noland three timesheavily to the canvas and then pouncedon him to take an easy fall.

The second and third rounds were fastand even, Noland displaying an excel-lent variety of holds, and Woods amaz-ing -ingenuity in breaking from them.

The fourth round opened with each,wrestler gaining a short-lived advantageby kicking his opponent to the canvas.Woods with a wristlock threw Noland sev-eral times, but did not go to withinstriking distance of a fall. Noland scoredin the fifth and sixth rounds with punish-ing short-arm scissors, which left Wocdswith one arm out of action for sometime.

The seventh round ended sensationally.A general mix-up ■ at the ropes endedwhen Noland cried out from pain. Thereferee made Woods break his hold, antiit was then seen that Woods had man-aged-in some unknown way to tie Nolandup in the ropes. The referee and a secondtook almost a minute to extricate him.In the meantime. Woods, instead of goingto his corner, was ma.king the task offreeing Noland more difficult by swingingon the ropes in another part of the ring.This was scarcely considered “cricket,”even in all-in wrestling, and a sergeant ofpolice ordered Woods to his comer. Apenalty fall was given against him. Thefinal round was fast and exciting, withmany holds applied and countered. Thedecision of a draw was popular with al-most everyone but Woods.

The bout was described as the semi-final of the Dominion elimination contestto find a contestant for the world title.

Preliminary bouts resulted; —

Fly-weight—T. S. Kennedy (7st 91b) beatJ b'. Moffat (Sst 71b) on points.

Feather-weight—A. McAlpine (9st 31b)beat E. Bullock (9st 31b) on points, in anunusual bout, both men trying to emu-late the showmanship of professionals theyhad seen in action.

Welter-weight—J. F. Genet (lOst 81b)beat C. Banker (lost 71b) by one falltaken in the first round.

Catch-weight—Joe Genet (9st 71b) beatP. Long (lOst 71b) on points.

Mr A. P. Craig was referee for the pro-fessional bout, and Mr Gordon Mowat forthe amateurs.
