DRESSES AT RICCARTON.

The scene on the lawn and grand-stand at Riccarton on Saturday wascertainly the gayest and most colour-ful presented during the CanterburyJockey Club 's-meeting last week, prob-ably because the day was brighter andwarmer and the diaphanous frocks andflower-trimmed hats showed to thebest advantage.

CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC' ' WOMEN;-- '■•■■•■■1/ ■■-*■■

The second annual meeting of theConference of Catholic Women, ofwhich Mrs J. S. Barrett is president, washeld yesterday. In the morning, at the8.15 Mass at the Cathedral, a verylarge number of "women-received: HolyCommunion in- a body. •; ;

In'the afternoon,- in the beautifulsheltered grounds, of the Convent ofthe Sacred Heart, Perry., road-, underthe spreading boughs of large oak trees,a largely-attended-meeting of the Con-ference was held, under the.presidencyof his Lordship Bishop Brridiej.who/onbehalf, of the Bev. Mothers and Sistersof the Convent, welcomed the visitors.'An interesting address on "The Placeof Amusement in Life" was read bythe Eev. Father P. J. Cooney, of Lyt-telton, who'deplored the modem ten-dency to make pleasure, generallysought outside' the home, the supremeconcern of human endeavour, andearnestly urged Qatholic women tostrive to restore the home to what itwas in days gone by—a source of allthe .virtues needed for an individual'ssocial and national life, and an asylumof happiness and peace. ' .

Miss Nellie Hayward read a thought-ful and carefully-prepared paper .on''.(How Catholic Women Can HelpOthers," making many practical sugrgestions, based on knowledge gained byher during her recent sojourn in Britainand the Continent and giving a mostinformative account of-the foundationand activities of the Society, of theSisters of Charity. ...

',

The Bev. Father T. Hanrahan read asplendid paper, written by one of theSisters of Notre Dame des Missions, on"Correct Character Formation in ChildLife," after which the entire companywas entertained at al fresco afternoontea, and a. highly satisfactory Confer-ence was concluded with BenedictionService, conducted by his Lordship inthe Convent Chapel. .

The annual exhibition of hand work,to. be held in the Caledonian Hall onNovember 26th, under the auspices ofthe Home Economics Association, isarousing much interest,, and there isno doubt that the many . interestingstalls will be visited by wise people,anxious to gain new ideas on needle-work, china painting, and basket work.The thrift stall alone is well -worth avisit, and a gift stall is beingarranged, the proceeds from which willbe devoted to the Children's. Fresh AirHome. * • ■

A Maori correspondent of the"Manawatu Times" enys: "Hapuku,ne or' New Zealand's best esteemedfish, is persistently misnamed hapuka.The Maoris themselves initiated theerror, and for. «i» reason. Te Hapuku,A well-known and much-respected chiefin Hawke's Bay and Manawatu, wasdeemed by his people to have sufferedindignity each tune his enemy fed uponhis namesake, henoe the change in thefinal vowel. Significantly thechief became known to his people asTe Ika (the fish), an appropriate com-promise for his correct name, TeHapuku,. which fell into disuse' forthe reason given. The custom of hid-ing the bodies of the chiefs in «, cavearises from the ever-present fear thattheir enemies may eat them and thusdestroy their hope of Paradise."

A happy family gathering took placeon Wednesday evening, at the residenceof Mrs Hyde, Racecourse road, Ashbur-ton, when her parents celebrated theirdiamond wedding. Mr Steele is thesecond son of the late Mr John Steele,of Bingley, Yorkshire, England. Thepresent Mr Steele was born at Bingley,and left that place as a lad of 11*years, and took up his residence atBradford.. After being in the serviceof one firm for nine years, he launchedout on his own account as a wholesaleprovision merchant, and by close at-tention to every detail of his business,as.well as by prudent living, he madea big success. When he was about toleave for N.£w Zealand, the Creditors'Association of Bradford presented himwith a beautifully illuminated photo-graphic album in recognition of thevaluable services he had. rendered the As-sociation. The Loyal Philanthropic Lodgeof the Manchester Unity Lodge of Odd?fellows, of which he was a prominentmember, presented him with a' hand-somely- illuminated address.

Mr and Mrs Steele (nee Miss Conyer)were married in the old Bradford ParishChurch, on November 12th, 1864, by theRev. John Ellis, curate of the parisliof Bradford.. They' left London forNew Zealand in May, 1883,. in, the .Cata-lonia, the second- steamship which hadever sailed for New Zealand* On ar-rival at Lyttelton, :Mr and Mrs Steeleproceeded to' Christchurch, where theyremained for a couple of years. "Theythen removed to Ashburton, . andsettled on a wild waste of open tussoekland near the Ashburton Woollen Mills.Here Mr Steele built a good house andstore, and started as a general store-keeper. He .speedily worked up a bigtrade connexion, and paid regular visitsto the outlying settlements of Spring-burn, . Staveley, Alford Forest, andMount Somers. He sold out his busi-ness about seven years ago, and afterspending two years in Auckland he re-turned to Ashburton, where he is nowliving in retirement on the AlfordForest road.

At the diamond wedding -gatheringon Wednesday evening Mr D. Sykes, ofChrisfchurch, in- proposing the toastof the bride and bridegroom, paid ahigh tribute to Mr and Mrs Steele inregard to the .great success they hadmade of life in all. its phases. TheyWere an honest and most worthy couple,and no two residents in 'the whole ofthe Ashburton. district were more highlyesteemed than Mr and Mrs John Steele.

Mr Frank Steele, a nephew, alsobriefly addressed the family gathering,and referred in feeling terms to thenoble lives his uncle and aunt, as wellas . their family, had always led.

Numerous telegraphic and othercongratulatory messages were receivedfrom friends from far and widey andMr and Mrs Steele were the recipientsof a number of appropriate diamondwedding presents.

Mr Steele, on behalf of himself■ andhis wife, warmly thanked. all for themany expressions of goodwill which hadbeen showered upon them, and alsothanked those present for assemblingand helping to celebrate their diamondwedding.

Mr Steele, who is now 83 years ofage, comes of a long-lived family. Hisfather, who had spent two years inAshburton, returned to his native homeeight years ago, and died at the ageof 96 years.

THE COUNTRY.. RANGIORA.

After the opening of the MunicipalBaths it was found that the last earth-quake had caused a crack in the con-crete bed and that the. bath was leak-ing badly, necessitating it being, emp-tied and closed for a week for repairs.This work has now been finished andthe baths were opened again on Fri-day. On Saturday the very warmweather induced quite a large numberof bathers to -risit the baths, and inthe afternoon it was crowded, mostlywith children, amongst whom theswimming bath has beeome increas-ingly popular.

AKAROA.The Akaroa Presbyterian Church, a

cEarge that includes a considerable por-tion of the Peninsula, comprising, as itdoes, Pigeon Bay, Duvauchellc, Kobin-son's Bay, Wainui, as well as the townof Akaroa, appears at last to be withinsight of having a settled pastor. Forpractically twelve months tho chargehas been vacant, tho last minister hav-ing been the Eev. J. W. Hayward, whoresigned in November of last year totake up, a position at Sprcydon. Sincethen, efforts to fill the vacancy have,for a variety of reasons, been in vain,until this last week, when, at a congre-gational meeting on Wednesday even-ing, presided over by the Eev. N. L. D.Webster, the interim Moderator of thecharge, it was unanimously decided tosend a call to the Eev. F. J. Tylee, ofDipton, Southland, that gentleman, soit was understood, having signified his"willingness to accept, provided the callwere unanimous. Messrs James Tetti-grew, J. S. Dodds, and A. W. Orme, aselders of the church, were delegated acommission to act with the interimModerator in prosecuting the call.Mr. Webster stated that, providedthere were no unforeseen contingencies,Akaroa might reasonably expect to havea minister inducted in the PresbyterianChurch before Christmas.

St. Jeter's, the Anglican Church inAkaroa, celebrates the diamond jubileeof its consecration towards the end ofthis month. The vicar, the Eev. A. C.Purchiis, and his vestry have made somespecial arrangements for th'e notableoccasion. The Mayor and borough coun-cillors, the Masonic, and the Oddfellows'Lodges, and other organisations in thetown have been invited to be presentofficially at the special evening serviceon Sunday, November 30th, when thepreacher, it is understood, will be'one ofthe higher dignitaries of the diocese.

The Akaroa Croquet Club has decidedto .run monthly social gatherings duringthe playing season. The .first of these,held in the Anglican Parish Boom lastTuesday evening, was well attended.As usual, the time was devoted to pro-gressive euchre and dancing. Trophiesfor the card playing were secured byMrs C. E. Johnstone and Mr E. W.Hammon, Miss B. Jacobson and Mr F.C. Newton taking the consolationawards. Misses M. Jacobson and L.Vangioni acted as hostesses for theevening, the understanding being thattwo lady members of the club act inthat capacity in turn.

ARTIFICIAL PETROL.

A FRENCH INVENTION.

French motorists may now look-for-ward to the pleasant prospect, ofunlimited supplies of petrol at ,a -priceof-, about 3 francs (9d) .a gallon. Thisrevelation, which will'have a most im-portant effect not only on. the motorindustry,, but on the economic positionof France, was made at the exhibitionof synthetic motor fuels held at Buc,when the public were able to see motorsrunning on petrol which had been ob-tained from lignite coke and water.MM. Andry-Bourgepis and Oliver haverecently discovered that they can makepetrol from almost any substance'con-taining carbon. The sample with whichthey have given a conclusive demonstra-tion was made from water and lignitecoke—a residue which had previouslyhardly any ! commercial value. Peatcoal dust, charcoal dust, and sawdust,arid a number of other low-grade com-bustibles may be used. The new pro-cess is based on the water-gas method.Carbon containing the material mixedwith water is first converted intu a.mixture of carbon dioxide and. hy-drogen, commonly known as water-gas,which, in turn, is changed to methane,or.marsh gras. This is passed throughan apparatus in which, under actionof. high frequency it becomescondensed into acetylene. This accty-l-iur in turn, is passed."intowhich the inventors call "catalyseurs,"from which it emerges eventually . inthe-form of a thick oil, which, on be-ing distilled, yields pure petrol, burn-ing oil, and lubricating" oil. Of thesethree products, petrol is the most abun-dant, forming 75 per cent, of th-3 whole.The various chemical processes referredto have been known for a long time,but the secret of the new inventionlies in the "catalyseurs."

His Honour ilr Jua'.ice Fraier presided,and with him were Messrs 11. Hunter and\V, Scott.

| The statement of claim set out. that inNovember, 193), the plaintiff had beenseverely burned through her clothes hayingcaught firo while she was attending to thecooking in the kitchen, and for a, time herlife had been in danger. For 11 months s!iohad undergone special treatment for thebums. At the time of the neeidbht she liildbeen receiving I's Gd a, week end licr keep.She had received payments from the Govern-ment Life Insurance Department on accountcf the workers' compensation to ba in fullsatisfaction of her claim up to June 6th,192-1. By reason of the accident sho hadsuffered permanent injury, her* earningpowers had been diminished, and generalhealth impaired. In cohscquciieej compensa-tion as the Court thought tit Was fiought;

The medical evidence as given by Dts.J. Guthrie, P. S. Poster, and J. P. Whrttershowed that there was deep scarring over «1-most tho entire bddy surface. The in-juries had made it necessary for her to wallsin it shuffling manner.

SICK OF THE SEA.

EARL OF SUFFOLK ASHORE.

LONDON, November 3.The youthful Earl of Suffolk, hav-

ing regained his health, has decided toquit the sea, and has left the sailingship Mount Stewart, in which he madea voyage round the world, visitingAustr'lia. When interview he said thatho saw a good deal of colonial life.

"Although Australia ,is in the. gripof tho Labour Party, the Earl, said',"it is a jolly fine country for all that.Sydney rem'inclod me strongly ofLondon. It has streets as line asPiccadilly and Bond street, and theconstruction of a tube railway provesthe go-ahead character of the Britishers,down'South. There is keen Germancompetition in Australia, but Britishcommerce lias been firmly established.Sixteen months of seafaring have beensufficient for inc. I intend enteringpolitics."

The Earl of Suffolk reached Sydney.onNovember, 29th, 1923, as an appren-tice aboard the ship Mount Stewart,the last of the famous "clipper"ships. Ho appeared on the ship'sarticles as Charles Howard. He is thepremier earl of England, his earldomdating back to the Tudors. The masterof. the Mount Stewart was CaptainMcColm, ono of the best known skippersin Australian waters. From Sydneythe Mount Stewart went to Newcastle,where she left onFebruary 2nd. At thetime of his arrival in Sydney the earlwas only 17 years of age.

And note the prettier teeth you seeeverywhere to-day

Note how many teeth now glistenwhere dainty people gather*. Markwhat added beauty those whiter teethconvey.

Millions now clean teeth in a newway. They combat the film. Acceptthis test and "learn how much thatmethod means to you.

Film a dingy coatYou feel on teeth a viscous film.

Much of it resists the tooth brush,clings and stays.

Soon that film discolors, then formsdingy coats which cloud the beautyof the teeth.

But film does more. It holds foodsubstance which ferments and forms>acid. It holds the acid in contact withthe teeth to cause decay. Germsbreed by millions in it. And they,with tartar, are the chief cause ofpyorrhea.

Under old-way methods, very fewescaped the film-caused troubles.

Protect the EnamelPepsodent disintegratesthe film»then removes it with an agentfar softer than enamel. Neveruse a film combatant which

contains harsh grit.

The modern wayDental science has found two effec-

tive ways to fight that film, and hasamply proved them. One acts todisintegrate the film at all stages offormation. One removes it withoutharmful scouring.

A new-type tooth paste was createdto apply these methods daily. The

•name is Pepsodent. Now leadingdentists the world over advise it, andcareful people of some 50 nations use it.

Twill surprise youPepsodent brings these whiter,

cleaner, safer teeth in natural ways,without any harmful scouring.

It multiplies the alkalinity of thesaliva, also its starch digestant. Thoseare Nature's agents for fighting acidsand digesting starch deposits. Pepso-dent gives them a manifold effect, whileold ways reduce their power.

NO SLEEP AT NIGHTTHROUGH INDIGESTION

Probably nothing has a more ad-verse ©ffeet; on the health than losa ofsleep caused by stomach disturbance,and nothing is more sure of puttingthis right than Bisurated Magnesia. Aone-time sufferer writes: '<Before Istarted taking Bisurated MagnesiaTablets I always suffered from indi-gestion and could not sleep at. night,but since taking them I feel they havedone me the world of good, and mywife, who is also taking them, says thesame." Bisurated Magnesia instantlyneutralises the harmful acid that causesall the trouble and it quickly rids thestomach of its handicap. It is-obtain-able at any chemist's in both powderand tablet forms, and for the protec-tion of the putolie the genuine article

always bears the word "Bismag"boldly displayed on the wrapper. 6

An instance of rather un.usu.rJ. fero-city on the part of a farm-bred pig oc~.curred recently at Mangatoki (relatesthe "Hawera, Star"). A full-grownboar of big proportions, which had re-peatedlv escaped from the pigyard andstrayed'on to Mr J. M. Cratenby s pro-perty was being driven back acrossthe paddocks bv Mr Gatenby's 15>y«ar-old son. Frank. Just as it reachedthe dividing fence the animal' turnedsuddenly, and, with an. upward sweet,

of its tusks, inflicted a deep woundapproximately seven inches in. lengthon the bov's left leg. The animal keptud the attaok, but tho boy managedto fend it off. and eventually limpedsome 300 vards to the homestead,whichhe reached in a state of collapse. H*was conveved to Pr. Cooper's hospital;it Elthain, where it was found neces-sary to insert thirteen stitches to closethe wound.

' PALMERSTON N., November 15.At the Assembly, this morning the

Rev. John Kilpatrick, of Dunedin,. waselected Moderator-Designate. Theother candidate',: <Mr W. H, Rose, anelder of Christchurch, had a good vote,but it is almost impossible for anelder to attain to the chief office, be-cause of the/Conservative custom-inthe Presbyterian! : Church of reservingit for ministers. _

...... In the absence of the Rev. GrayDixon, the• convenor, the report of the.Committee on the Faith and Order• Movement was presented by the Rev.Jas., Milne (Thames); who explainedthe movement-as making for the pro-motion of Christian unity throughstudy and conference throughout.Christendom. At the last great con-ference in Geneva every ChristianChurch in the'- world was representedexcept the Roman Catholic. .It wasproposed to hold another conference in1927, to which-the Presbyterian Churchof the Dominion .was t invited to send

• two . delegates.- -The movement didnot aim so much at forming a union ascreating a unity in which churchunions could be formulated.

The adoption of the report was sec-onded by' the Rev. Dr. Gibb CWelling-ton), who declared himself a lover ofincorporate union of churches wheresuch was possible, but he had pleasurein seconding the resolution, as themovement' promoted unity, withoutwhich no union-was possible.

Reference was made by Mr Milne tothe "loss sustained by the death of MrHallowell Gardiner, whose zeal andgenerosity had : greatly helped the de-velopment of the movement.

The Rev. J. - Morrison (Waimate),while not opposing the resolution,thought that caie'should be exercisedas to.any" close association of Presby-terians with Sacerdotalists.

The adoption"of the report was car-ried by the Assembly.

phonograph Supremacy.The supreme position held by the CHENEYPHONOGRAPH is due to various characteristicsin its construction. The makers claimsuperiority due to their reproducer, breech- .loading device, octagonal tone arm, and violinwood .resonator. There are not two opinionsabout the CHENEY—aII authorities place themfirst, because their tone is natural and pleasing,

.' and the price of each model convinces all pur-chasers that a high-class phonograph can bebought at a low figure. Let us give you ademonstration of these facts. The services of

Naval Defence.

New Zealand's interests and duties asa State of the Empire were rather con-spicuously absent from the concern ofour legislators during the past sessionof Parliament, and it is therefore mat-ter for satisfaction that Lord Jellicoehas spoken with clearness and emphasisof the importance of continued zeal forthe Navy in this Dominion. At a NavyLeague gathering in Wellington on

Friday evening he made a most urgentappeal to New Zcalanders to do what

they can—and of course they can doa great deal —to ensure that the BritishNavy shall be kept at a high standardof efficiency and power. "Invariablyafter a great war," he said, "there"exists a tendency to let down the"defensive forces of the Empire."But there is one defensive force"which I would warn the people of"tho Empiro never to let down, and"that is the sea services of the Em-"pire." At the present time nothingismore certain than that none of the GreatPowers is in the least likely deliberatelyto incur tho appalling and incalculablerisks of war on the large scale, butthe mental state of the world a genera-tion hence, or even less than a genera-tion hence, nobody can predict orguarantee. An enormous mass of good-will and unselfish statesmanship isstriving to lessen the possibility of warby devising means whereby nationaldisputes- may be civilly resolved, andevery rational man wishes ardently thatthis striving may be crowned withsuccess. But rational men recognisethat as tho causes of war are rootedin passion and not in reason there isa serious possibility that the Leagueof Nations may in some emergencyprove quite ineffective. The world isnot yet "safe for democracy" or safefor helpless and unarmed nations, andis certainly not safe for an unarmedor insufficiently-armed British Empire.The1 world derived precious little goodfrom the Great War, but one very goodthing it did obtain from it, and thatis an understanding of the enormouspower of a united British Empire. HadEurope known what the Empire reallywas and could do, the war Would prob-ably not have begun at all. -It isobvious, surely, that the continuance ofthe Empire as a strong and well-armedPower will be as effective in protectingthe peace of the. world as in protectingthe trade and comfort of it§ owncitizens. And for this efficiency themaintenance' of the Navy is essential.Even before the war our position onthe map had made New Zealandersconscious of the vital importance ofthe sba-power of Britain, but they hadnot then fully realised that they cannotdecently demand naval efficiency with-out: contributing effectively towards thecost of it. Lord Jellicoe did not over-look the Dominion's obligations in thismatter. "The time is coming," hesaid, "when it is only fair to ask the"Dominion of the Empire to provide"fhe necessary defence for the trade"routes of the Empire," and he addedthat ho feels assured that New Zealandwill not be behindhand in backing upthe Mother Country. This backing can-not be given without the making ofsome sacrifices, but these sacrifices can-not be shirked.

Traffic Problems.

An increasingly serious problem eachCarnival season is the control of themultitude of motor-cars travelling toand from the racecourse and the Show jGrounds. Christchurch has not yetreached the stage at which it must thinkabout "double-decked" roadways, orviaducts or sub-ways or tubes, but it isin trouble already with congestion in theSquare, and may be compelled very soonto consider the diversion of much of itswheeled traffic to less packed thorough-fares. No one could stand at the Hos-pital corner any morning or afternoonlast week without realising that thecity is moving very rapidly into a newtraffic era. The question is not merelywhether people shall be carried by trainor tram or 'bus, but whether trains andtrams and 'buses shall have the freerange of our roadways and other openspaces when they wish to cater for anyparticular locality. It is an interestingfact—we think we could say an arrest-ing fact—that in all reeent newspapersfrom other lands city transport is anincreasingly prominent topic. Wehave no space to go into detail, and it isobvious also that many of the anxietiesof cities containing two or three mil-lion-people will not concern Christchurchfor another century at least; but it is

i at least suggestive that in the overseas' newspapers to hand last week one of themost prominent features—prominent inspite of the feverish concentration ofthe public on national elections—wasthe amount of space devoted to thetraffic problems of London, Paris, and

New York. It is-unfortunately the case

that in each of these'three great cities

no one realised a hundred years ago, or

even half a hundred, how rapidly these

problems would grow and complicatethemselves! Even in New York, *hi*tis wholly a recent growth, the difucult/of finding free space for the increasing

volume of transport of all kinds is com-plicated to an almost hopeless extenthv the presence of buildings which afar-sighted policy would never havo

allowed to come into existence. inLondon and Paris we expect such com-plications, though it is the eas-J also in

both cities that more than halt the

trouble is of comparatively recent

growth. The "Daily Telegraph," com-menting on a discussion at the Insti-

tute of Transport, said that "anyone

"who returns to Central London after

"an absence long enough for his mind

"to be cleared temporarily of old im-

pressions, and so become susceptible"to new, must be struck by the intoler-

able street noises and the intolerable

"traffic blocks. It seems, after such an

"absence, more difficult to cross the

"road with safety;' the strings of

"vehicles seem longer; the pace of

"the traffic, when once a block has been"unfrozen, seems fiercer, as if all the"drivers were frantically bent on re-''covering the lost minutes.'' Of thosoreturned travellers none were more im-

pressed and terrified than tho exiled

Londoners who visited Wembley this

year from the Dominions. And there is

precisely the same story to tell of Paris.

The weekly correspondent of "Truth"wrote from Paris at the beginning of

October that the city was very little ex-cited over her new express motor-'buses."The fact is that an express motor-" 'bus is not one instant quicker than a

"slow one, while it is being held up by"a policeman in a block, and blocks

"are so much the order of the day in"Paris streets just now that one has to"allow ten minutes extra to every half-"hour it used to take to get from one

"place to another. It is quicker for

"a lame man to limp from the Opera"to the Place de la Republique than for"him to take a taxi or an omnibus.".

.. Traffic has superseded all such dc-

" tails as the League of Nations, the

"weather, or the length of skirts, as a"topic meriting attention." And of

New York it is sufficient to say that

the "Times" devotos a whole page intwo succeeding Sunday editions—withmaps, and drawings, and photographs—-to a discussion by experts of the city'snow baffling problem of keeping its mil-lions on the move. We are so far from

such conditions in Christehurch that

many may think their discussion a little

absurd; but everybody thought trafficalarms absurd in New York fifty years

ago, and no one who has really begunto think of the situation in Christehurchcan suppose that it is too soon to lookahead.

General News.The Royal Kailrcad .Commission, while

on the West Coast, made a flying tripto Waiho Gorge, and visited the famousFranz Josef Glacier, under the guid-ance of Messrs Peter and DavidGraham. The party consisted of thefollowing:—Sir Sam Fay, Sir VmcentEaven, Mr MeVilly (General Managerof Kailways), Messrs Gillon, Furkert,Travis, King, Fay, Jones, Hunson,Wynne, Lindsay, Marris, Angus, Sword,Morey, Manderson, Mitchell, Duck-

worth, and Berrill.There is «m island in- Lake Wanaka

n-liicli till lately has been known asPigeon Island. It bears a etrong re-semblance to Syracuse, and m theisland is a small lake, and thftt pheno-menon occurs also at feyracuse. Jte-■marking this at the function tenck-reflhim by the Sailors' Friend Society atWellington, "Viscount Jelhcoe said thatSir Frederick Chapman, who took a

deep interest in naval matters, hadsuggested that the island should becalled Syracuse. This the Governmenthad agreed to, and the lake in theisland was to be known, as Arethusa.Pool, whilst a prominent peak on the.island was to be. named alter fan-Reginald Tirrett, who, inthe Arethusa,commanded the Har«n«k. force duringthe war, a force which did signal ser-vice to the Empire.

During the past fow theclothing trade in Dunedin has beenvery quiet, due. to the importation orso much material, and the changes in.fashion (says the "Otago DailyTimes"). Thsit statement was made by

an official of the local office of theLabour Department, and he pointedout that, last winter the knitted cos-tumes «\nd jumpers were the rage, thusstopping the sale of women's ready-made costumes. The position was nowimproving, and many of the clothingfirms in the city who i»ut off hands,are taking them on again. The bootmanufacturing trade has also beenquiet, due again to the great amountof imported goods coming on, to themarket. The New Zealand manufac-turers were handicapped by the factthat the English manufacturers couldturn out a much larger quantity ofleather goods in a shorter 6pace oftime.

The limitation.'in the size of postparcels from Great Britain to four feet,length and girth- combined, has beenthe subject of repeated protests fromChambers of Commerce and businessfiims. As a result of personal repre-sentations made in London recently bythe secretary of the New Zealand PostOffice (Mr A. T. Marknian), however,the snipping companies have nowagreed to accept for conveyance to the.Dominion via Panama parcels measur-ing up to six feet, t length and girthcombined, A condition of the agree-ment is that the companies shall re-ceive some increased payment for thecarriage of the. larger parcels, and itis understood that the British PostOffice is now raising the postage ratesto meet the increased payment. Thesis feet limitation was in operationyears ago, but was reduced owing tothe necessity for: conserving shippingspace during the war.

A. distinct improvement has beenmade in the packing of small fruitsthis season as a result of new regula-tions gazetted by the Government,dealing with the matter (states the"New Zealand Herald"). The regu-lations refer to strawberries, logan-berries, raspberries, and cherries.They provide that all fruitsold, offered or exposed forsale in a container shall be packedin such a manner that any fruit ex-posed to view shall fairly representin size, maturity, and ■ condition, thewhole contents of the container. Itis also specified that the containershall be full 'of frtiit. The penaltyfor a breach of the regulations is afine not exceeding £2O. In pursu-ance of the regulations periodical in-spections are made by officers of theHorticultural Division of the smallfruits coming- to the market. Thogrowers have all been notified of thenew regulations, and it is stated thatthe fruit now offered to the public ismuch more uniform in quality thanpreviously was the case. It. is empha-sised by the Department officials thatretailers are liable for the quality ofthe fruit they offer for sale, and thataction may be taken against thomshould breaches of the packing regu-lations occur in respect of fruithandled by them. Any ease of vietimisation in the purchase of thefruits mentioned be notifiedto the Horticultural Division or thftHealth Department,, and action willbe taken under the regulations.

The Pioneer Sports Club's petrol test,which was to liave taken plr.ce ouSaturday, has been postponed untilNovember f^th.

A correspondent writes from Leestonstating that the bridge at Coe's fordis intended only for use by motor-cycles, and not for other motor traffic.

"I was a pioneer myself in a smallway.'* stated Archbishop Julius atthe Y.M.C.A. "father and Son Ban-quet" en Saturday night.

Twenty-four officers and non-commis-sioned officers of the Southern Depot,New Zealand Army Service Corps,under Major W. W. McKinney, lefton Saturday evening for Trcntham,where, in conjunction "with those fromthe northern (Auckland) and Central(Wellington) Depots, they undergo acourse of instruction in A.S.C work,intensive training of a technical na-ture, covering all the duties of theA.S.C, is carried out, so that thosubsequent training of A.S.C. men atthe various command camps may beworked out on similar line's.

An interesting address on the lawand some of its phases was deliveredby Mr Saul Solomon, K.C., at Dunodinto a number of members of the localbranch of the New Zealand Bank Offi-cers ' Guild. In opening his remarks,Mr Solomon said that people outsidethe legal profession had a very pooridea of what lair was. Many claimedthat the only difference \ between alawyer and a butcher was that thebutcher was a respectable man, andothers said that- the law was an ass.This, however, wag nonsensical; thelaw was founded on commonsense andjustice. Continuing, he said thatthere was one system that had surviv-ed the years, and that was the jurysystem, which he had thought ;wasvery fine when he was young. Hehad since found, however, that inmany cases ho had won vcrdlot3 thathe should have lost, and had lost ver-dicts that he should have won. Still,he was not one of those who thoughtthe system was a bad one, and in-deed most jurists were men of soundcommonsense, who knew what theywe're about. The speaker then ex-plained the different classes of law—-the law of property, which includedreal estate and personal estate; thelaw of torts, governing injuries(everyone, Mr Solomon pointed out,had the right to have his property,person, or reputation protected); andthe law of contract, which governedall business. ,

EMPIRE DEFENCE.LORD JELLICOE'S ADVICE

"DON'T LET DOWN."

''After a great war there is a- tendencv to let down," said ViscounJellicoe when addressing the Nav;League at "Wellington on Friday night"One defensive force I warn yoi

never to let down, and that is the sei

service of the Empire, whether it bthe "-reafc mercantile marine upoi

which" the prosperity of the Emp.rdepends, or the Navy upon which th.safety of the mercantile marine de

vou aro aware, by the Waslinaton "Conference the total tonnapof "capital ships belonging to the yarious nations of the world has bee:placed at a certain limit. There, haboon no limit placed on tonnage o

other descriptions and I would like twarn the people of -Wellington and othe Empire nob to let down thstrength of those vessels upon winethe protection of your trade routedepends. The Mother Country at thpresent time provides tho capital shipupon which the final result always musdepend. She has so far provided thsubmarines, the destroyers, and .th*rcat majority of the light cruiser

upon which vour safety depends, anthe time is coming when it is only faito ask the Dominions to do their sharfor the necessary defence of the tradroutes of the Empire. I feel assurethat this loyal Dominion of New Zeiland will not bo behindhand in backmup the Mother Country in herefforts tprovide adequate protection ior youtrade routes.

"The New Zealand division of tliKoval Navy has made a great startIt 'lias started under most favourablauspices, under a very high standarof efficiency. The standard of ikemits entering the New Zealand divsioii is of tho rery highest, They atdoino- magnificently in tho traininschools' at Home. Every letter I r<ceived from the present commandeAdmiral Holland, tells mo the New Zeland recruits are showing themselvcworthy of the very best the Empire lisever "produced, and I feel sure tlhigh standard at which the New Zesland division lias commenced will lmaintained by those who come after.

"I have every confidence that trNew- Zealand people will add to thstrength of the Now Zealand divisiqof the Royal Navy as time goes 01

but above all I would ask you to tsure that efficiency, and the higbepossible efficiency, is the goal at whuyou aim. In a matter such as, this-the efficiency of the Royal Navy—t-heiis only one standard and that is thhighest possible standard. Nothirelse is of «ny value. No second-ratstandard is of the slightest use. Yohave the veiy best now. I would asyou to be sure and maintain it."

THREE ESSENTIALS.

IN THE CONDUCT OP LIFE.

GOVERNOR'S ADVICE TO BOYS

AND GIRLS.

Paying a very high tribute to theguard- of honour by the Wellington,College Cadets, which hail received himon his arrival, and congratulating thecolleges on the high standard of theentertainment submitted, his Excel-lency the Governor-General, at theNavy League farewell to him andLady Jellicoe in the Wellington TownHall on Friday night, took the oppor-tunity of givino- the younger genera-tion present some words of soundadvice.

"We in the Navy," he said, ■ "aretaught three things: Respect to au-thority, Duty and Discipline. Re-spect to authority is one of the thingswhich I would like to impress uponthe young people of New Zealand.'Respect also to age—ne£ because I am.• old myself—(laughter)—but becauserespect to age instinctivejy brings re-spect for authority.,

"Dutv the nobility of duty, is an-other thing which I. would like to im-press upon the children- in front of,me to-night, and, above «11 things,whatever the difficulties or dangers, 1ask you to do your duty, what youconceive to be your duty, and, lastly,never forget the value of discipline.

.. .

Discipline, under-stood, makes" everybody workfor the good of the com-munity aa a whole, neglectfulof self. It'leads to that Astoundingspirit of esprit die corps which carriesa body of men through any difficultyor any danger so long as they can feelthat they are doing a deed which willreflect credit upon the body to whichthey belong.

"It is the spirit which animated thecrew of a destroyer, no doubt manyof them, but one particularly in theBattle of Jutland, the destroyer Ar-dent, which was sunk by gunfire, andthe whole crew, or such of them assurvived the gunfire in the water,held on to anything that floated, andthroughout the night of May 31et andJune Ist, 1916, the one thought thatanimated the crew of that ship was,"Thank heaven, the Ardent has doneher bit!' One by one, as the captainrelated when he was rescued some sevenhours later, the only survivor, one byone they,, dropped off into the water,dying. Not one single word ofcomplaintwas heard throughout tlie night, theciae 'topic among the crew of theArdent was 'We have done cur bit.'(Loud applause.)

"That, girls and boys," concludedLord Jellicoe; "is esprit de corps, bornof the spirit of discipline. That i»what I recommend to the schools andto you all to cultivate. The honour ofyour school, the honour of your town,the honour of your Dominion, ancTThehonour of the Empire." (Loud andprolonged applause.)

(srzciAL to "the rnEss.'')

WELLINGTON, November IG.By converting M. Brownlic's first try

hi the match with London' Counties onSaturday, M. Nicholls, the Wellingtonfive-eighth, put himself into the array ofplayers who have scored a century forNew Zealand. Nicholls, who did notgain his International cap in 19ii3, had40 points to his credit when he wasselected this year. These consisted ofonly one try, 17 conversions, and a pen-alty goal. In Australia Nicholls, whodid not play in the first Test, kickedfour points against Metropolitan, andscored a try. In the third Test againstNew South Wales he converted threetries, and left for England with 53points to his name. When he goaledfrom Mill's try in the Cambridge matchhis score stood at 99, and having kickedfive goals against the Londoners he hasscored 56 points in the Old Country.These consist of one try, 20 conversions,three- penalties, and a potted goal. Histotal 13 now 109, and he joins the Tanksof Jimmy Hunter, T. W. Lynch, E. W.Kobcrts (Taranaki), B. J. Roberts (Wel-lington), and W. J. Wallace, all of whomhold their centuries. Wallace's totalstands at oG7, and next come Hunter(141), Nicholls (109), Lynch (107), E.J. Roberts (104), and It. W. Roberts(101). Duncan MacGregor, -who isworthy of mention, scored 97 points forNew Zealand teams, and of Wallace's!huge total 227 -were gained in the 1905tour. Twenty-two tries were includedand 72 conversions.

BEFORE THE MATCH.

(ATJeTItALUN ATCD JT.Z. CABLE ASJfOCUTION.)

LONDON, November 14.The newspapers are keenly discuss-

ing the New Zealanderß' first game inLondon to-morrow against the combin-ed London Counties.

The critics express the opinion thatthe home side will have the best ofthe scrums, but that the tackling andspeed of the visitors will be a counter-balancing factor.

The indications point to a . soakedground, in which caso .the critics willnot be surprised to see the visitorsbeaten after their close escape in themud when playing Cambridge onWednesday.

TWICKENHAM GROUND.

"FINEST IN THE WORLD."

It is claimed by the London Pressthat, with tho completion of improve-ments which were •in progress sixweeks ago, Twickenham—where theAll Blacks won on Saturday—will botransformed into the finest Eugby foot-ball ground in the world, and will ac-commodate nearly 70,000 people. Itwas expected that. the work wouldhardly be finished in time for Satur-day's game, but everything should bein readiness for tho handling of arecord crowd when tho English inter-national is played on January 3rd.

Already tho Twickenham groundrepresents a capital investment of over£30,000, and now another £30,000 isbeing spent in the erection of a greatnew pavilion of steel and concrete be-hind one of the.goals, and the con-struction of 3000 additional feet ofterracing, equipped with crush bar-riers, in front of the two stands whichflank the ground. And in the nearfuture another new stand is to beerected behind the other goal. Whenthis is finished tho whole circumfer-ence of tho ground will bo under cover,and it is estimated that there will beaccommodation for 67,000 people.

CANTERBURY'S DAY.

THE MIDLANDS MATCH.

(By A. J. Karroo, Special Itepresen-W tative of "The Press.")

BIRMINGHAM, October 8.The match against the North Mid-

lands was a day out for the Canterburyrepresentatives. McGregor, Dalley,Parker McCleary, Masters «md

Stewart were all playing. RobUliard,tho only absentee, was still Bufferingffom an injury received in an earlier.rame Parker hftd a very successfulfSrooon, soopng five tries but aboutf, quarter of in hour from the end hahacTto retire hurt. Having peered

a suggests the overwhelmingSuperiority' of «the All Blacks in thiswmo, there were certain disquietingSires about it. The New Zealandtnfiklino- Wis not as deadly as it shouldliTv© been. Several men were goingvery high and letting their man passout whSn the Wl should easily havebeen smothered. The backs were alsoinclined to run too much across th©Jicld instead of indulging in the etraightlushes which characterised the first<rames and earned them well-deservedpraise. They appeared.to have emu-lated the example of the sides opposedto tiK»m.—a most disastrous practice.

Some Experiments.

Some of tho disorganisation «nd com-parative laok of finish of the .-.ttackswas probably due to the new combina-tion adopted in the backs. Badeleyu-as rdayod for the first time in thotour and did not got really settleddown though occasionally he madosome' promising movements. Cookewas played at centre in the first half,hut it was soon evident that he wasnot very toppy » this position. Ac-cordingly the backs were later re-arransjed. Oooke went back to secondfive-eighths. Svenspn went to centre,and Badeley played on the wing. Eventhis arrangement did not work particu-larly well, tho wmgs almost invariably

being crowded, in marked distinctiontp what hapnened in the early gamesof tho tour." Much, of the. credit forthis state of Affairs- must be given, tothe Midlands" backs, .who were quicklyon their men. This was tho really dis-quieting feature of the day, for if a-3'oung inexperienced, £eam could thusupset the .AIL .Black machinery an In-ternational side might be toput it out of action' altogether. For-tunately such logic does not usuallywork out in practice'.' Tho AH Blackswill probably" play much better whenthey know that every effort to avert,defeat must' be made. Those last fewminutes at Newport when disastersnared them in the face convinced methat the team has the right tempera-ment for big occasions.

The Cross-Kick.As far aa the actual game is con-

cerned, the chief feature of" the* open-ting' quarter of. an hours was thesplendid defence of the Midlands team.Parker got the first try after severalpromising attacks had been smotheredby brilliant tackling. Then for thefirst time a characteristic New Zealandpassing rush got well into its stride,and Cooke was able to score -withoutthe necessity of passing to Steel, whowas lying handy. The next excitementfor the large crowd was a promisingmovement by the Midlands, a splendidcross-kick, and a timely save byDalley. This manoeuvre, which the AllBlacks will meet very often in theInternationals, is always dangerous,and it might be adopted more fre-quently by the New Zealanders them-selves. They do a good acal of kick-ing to their wings, but the reverseprocess is usually more effective.

Donald, who has the faculty of boingwhere he is wanted, was responsiblefor the next scoring movement of theAll Blacks, and Parker soon addedanother try. Nepia's goal-kicking hadbeen very poor up to this stage, onlyone try being converted. Soon afterthis the Midlands secured their onlytry, Nepia boing beaten for the touch-down after the ball had been kickedpast him. It was rather a lucky try,but as the home team were very un-lucky not to scoro on other occasionsthe encouragement was deserved.

Parker Outstanding.After tho interval, though . the All

Blacks continued to crowd their wingsand Steol scarcely over got the ball,Cooke Bcored a second try and Parkeradded threo to his tally at regular in-tervals. Nepia made some wonderfuldashes, but I think I would preferbetter ground fielding and less fire-works—it would be loss exhausting forthe spectators, at least.

Parker was the only outstandingplayer in the side. Svenson has notbeen playing as well as usual lately.Ho does much better work on the wingthan at centre, where he has frequentlybeen played. All the forwards workedhard, and McCleary, making his firstappearance, appeared very successfulin getting the ball in the scrums. Thoscrum work was very much better thanin many previous matches.

The referee was Mr T. H. Tile, whois considered the most efficient in thecountry.

WASHINGTON, November 14.Mr "Wilbur lias filed an answer to the

suit lorouglit by Mr "William Shearer,onco a special expert employed by thaNavy Department, to restrain the De-partment from sinking the now super-Dreadnought Washington, on theground thai, the United States had ex-cessively reduced naval armament.

Mr "Wilbur says the- British Empirewas permitted a larger capital shiptonnage than the United States. TheTreaty allowed tha latter 527,000tons and tho British Empireova- 640,000 tons, tho Britishtonnage to bo reducible to•503,950, but not to tho United Stateslevel. Mr Wilbur sjiid the scrappingprogramme was not completed. ThoWashington was only 70 per rent, com-pleted when work was stopped, at acost of fifteen and a quarter milliondollars, which latter sum was reducibleby tho sale of material.

Mr Wilbur refused to answer someof Mr Shearer's questions, which hecharacterised us impertinent, and im-material, and asked for the dismissal ofthe suit.

The Judge, in dismissing Mr Shear-er's suit, ruled that Mr Shearar had nolegal right as a taxpayer to bring thesuit, and the Court had no jurisdictionto prevent a, Cabinet official from usinghis discretion under the law.

Tho Navy Department continues toplan to sink tho Washington by bombsand guns.

(Received November 16th, 0.5 p.m.)LONDON, November 15.

The employment of the League of

Nations as the safety valve of ImperialForeign relations regarding Foreign

affairs was suggested by Viscount Grey

in a speech which was wirelessly broad-cast, dealing with tho problem of de-veloping tho independence of the sell-

governing Dominions, yet maintainingthe unity of tho whole.

Viscount Grey emphasised the needfor frequont personal consultations withthe Premiers of tho Dominions, m orderto secure a united British front, but inorder to guard against the embarrass-ment and perplexity overseas on the oc-casion of unforeseen crises like that or

Chanak in 1922, Britain might promisetho Dominions to refer any disputewith a foreign Power to the Interna-tional Court of Justice, the League ofNations, or to arbitration, as a guaran-tee the Dominions would not suddenlybe called upon to tako a hand in a dis-pute of which they had no time to con-sider the merits. Ho expressed theopinion that the Dominions would thenknow where they stood, and agree toregard any Power refusing . arbitrationas tho aggressor, and give support touphold the principle of arbitration,which was endorsed by tho ImperialConference.

to the effect of Captain Wedgwood! Benn's statement that the people haveno confidence in Mr Lloyd George. "Idesire to say plainly," he said, "thatI cannot acknowledge in any way, director indirect, Mr Lloyd George as myleader in the House of Commons."

If Captain Benn's opinion is sharedby other Liberal members of the Houseof Commons, obviously the LiberalParty in tho Commons, small as it is,will divide, and the new movement forthe reorganisation of tho Liberal forcesthroughout the country will bo seriouslyimpeded.

The "Daily Telegraph'' affirms thatMr Lloyd Georgeis certain to be electedleader at the meeting of the LiberalParliamentary Party as soon as thesession opens.

The "Daily Chronicle" declares thatCaptain Benn's action- at a momentwhen unity is so. essential among thelittle band of Liberal members iof theHouse of Commons has aroused generalresentment.

The "Daily Herald" says tho pactworked badly for the Asquithians butfavourably for the Lloyd Georgians, atwhich the Asquithian wing, angry atMr Lloyd George having secured a ma-jority in an attenuated Parliamentary.

Party, is now playing for leadershipcontrol. *

The deputies are overwhelminglysupporting Zaghlul. Tho crisis is un-doubtedly due to grave internal issues.

Tho Cairo correspondent of the"Sunday Express" saya there is a sus-picion that Zaghlul'a resignation ismerely an artifice to strengthen hishold on his own majority, which re-cently was shaken.

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.

(Received November 16th, 11.50 p.m.)

CAIRO, November 15.The King had! a conference with

Zaghlul Pasha to-day. Zaghlul tender-ed) the Cabinet's resignation, whichthe King did not accept. Zaghlul laterannounced his resignation to Parlia-ment, which was stupefied with sur-prise. Pressed for his reasons, Zaghlulinsisted that tho only reason was hishealth. Parliament voted confidencethe Government, and adjourned untilMonday.

The news created a tremendous sensa-tion in Cairo when it became knownin the evening. No official statementhas yet been issued, but it is under-,stood Zaghlul's resignation was pre-cipitated by the resignation of NessimPasha, Finance Minister, who had adisagreement with the junior membersof tho Cabinet. There was a Councilof Ministers on Friday night at Zagh-lul's house, :.i which Nessim was urgedto withdraw his resignation but re-fused. Finally tho Cabinet, fearing theeffect on the public of Nessim's action,decided to resign collectively, which itdid to-day.

THE PUBLIC TRUSTOFFICE.

THE DEFENCE ANALYSED.

(By J. W. Dowling, M.A.)

[On Saturday wo printed a statementissued by tho Prime Minister, as Minister incharge of the Public Trust Office, in replyto tho criiicisnw of tho office which com-menced in "The Press*' in » series otarticles by the R-t. Fathsr Dowling. Thefollowing is Father Dowling"* commentsupon tho Ministerial defence.—Ed. "ThePress."!

Before making any observations uponthe reply made by the Primo Ministerto tho criticism of the administrationof the Public Trust Office, I should liketo state that my interost in tho matteria purely academic. I have never hadany dealings with the Public TrustOffice, and have no grudge whateveragainst it. Since I had written athesis on the subjoct, scvoral gentlemenwho were interested in tho Departmentas an experiment in State enterpriseasked me to write a few articles em-bodying the results of the investigationwhich I had made. A thesis in eco-nomics is intended to bo not merelyof theoretical• interest. It may, andgenerally does, have a practical bearingupon somo problem of the day. Hencemy compliance with thoir request.

In my articles published in "ThoPress" I did not deny that the Com-mon Fund principle adopted by the De-partment possesses many advantagesand enables it to confer many benefitson small estates and to perform manygratuitous and non-paying services.My criticism was that a largo part ofthe eost of theso gratuitous and non-paying services is met out of surplusinterest from the investment of Gov-ornment funds which do not securo thebenefit of those services. GovernmentSinking Funds provido about half ofthe total funds of which the CommonFund is comprised. Theso funds earn.iust as much in interest as do thebalance at credit of ostatcs. In thereply given by tho Ministor in chargo,it is stated that the Public Trustee isnow lending.at 6 per cent. Is it nota fact that ho is receiving as muchas 7 per cent, for some loans mado attho present time, even in cases wherethe security is first-class? On suchfunds the Public Trustee retains over28 per cent, of tho interest. A largeportion of tho Common Fund must camabout 6 per cent, in interest. On suchsums ho retains at least 20 per cent,of tho interest. The highest rate atwhicli ho credits interest to estates orfunds in tho Common Fund is 5 percent. On a large portion he pays only4 J per cent. If he earns 6 per cent,and pays out only 4$ per cent,, then heretains 25 per cent, of the interest. Ona portion .of the Common Fund, invest-ed some years ago,, no doubt interestis earned at a lower rate, perhaps aslow as 5 per cent., or oven lower. Onthis portion a lesser percentage of theinterest is rotained. On someloans . thero may be a losseither because tho investments haveturned out badly or because the fundshave been lent at a rate lower than 5per cent. One may be permitted to askwhy funds invested at tho high rates |ruling at present should have to makeup for, fund's invested at lower ratesseveral years ago. Tho Common Fundpresents many undoubted advantages.The facts related above seem to showthat it lias also some serious defects.I did not stnto in my articles that

local bodies were being victimised inregard to their sinking funds. I re-peated the criticism given by the RoyalCommissionof 1912 that the interest onthese funds, and particularly on the {Sinking Fund of the Central Govern-ment is paying tod large a portion ofthe expenses of gratuitous and non-paying work. I hold strongly to theview that the/ Department should re-tain less of the interest on theso fundsthan, of that arising from moneys atcredit of estates. Why did not theDepartment follow the recommendationof the Koyal Comndssion of 1912 thatthoro should be. a distinct CommonFund for sinking funds, etc., and asuitable charge made to cover the ex-penses of investing and managing thosefunds? They would thus get all theinterest they earned without deductionfor maintaining: other services of theState, and the cost of these serviceswould become more manifest* It seemsto me that tho suggestion was not fol-lowed because tho Department wouldhave to revise its scale of charges,.perform fewer gratuitous services ortake even more from the interest onestates. t • J

It may be the case that local bodiesprefer Common Fund investments tospecials, investments, apart from theCommon Fundi I wonder why Civilservants have the opposite preferenceThose in charge of the Public ServiceSuperannuation Fund and Teachers'Superannuation Fund insisted uponTrithdrawing these . funds from theCommon Fund and haying them in-vested specially. I did not hold theview, as was erroneously stated in thereply published by the Minister incharge of the Department, that thePublic Service Superannuation Fundforms part of the Common Fund. Iwas of the opinion that the Eailwaysand. Local Bodies' SuperannuationFunds were in the Common Fund. TheEailways Superannuation Fund was notwithdrawn until April Ist of this, year.Tho Local Bodies' SuperannuationFund still forms part of .the CommonFund. ■ ;

It is alleged that I failed to givecredit for tho bonuses granted to es-tates by the Department. I madespecial mention of thoso bonuses, andwas fully aware that,( allowing forthem, the percentage of interest takenby the Department was considerablydiminished. The point is, however,that the powero and privileges con-ferred upon the Public Trustee weresuch as to enable him to retain thehigher percentage, if he so willed. Itdoes not alter the case a great deal if,as an afterthought, the Publle Trusteereturns a part of hs3 surplus by 'Wayof a bonus.

In support of my contention thatan unduly high percentage of the in-terest earned by tho Common Fundis retained by the Office, I quoted,in my articles, the following table:—

InterestInterest Credited Eetained

to Estates, by tho Dept.Tear. £ £

1918 .. 317,633 116,3101919 .. 352,783 137,2601920 .., 420,525 158,2261921 .. 537,890 144,056

Even allowing for the fact thatmuch of the interest retained was thesurplus frpm funds outside' the Com-mon Fund, surely the proportion indi-cated by theso figures is unduly largeTho surrounding faets, of which I*"1

supposed to be ignorant; andit iB alleged, make toyroneous, do not mai* the **£*%£the Department suggests, and do, n»materially alter theterest taken The -J*- [̂ Cgohave us infer that ninetyprofit on deposits.

. fSa the Com-Jcrcent ofwon Fund, ami reewve. w . remiindcr

difference of mora than two or three.thousand pounds in the earn of ister-cst retained as quoted in the abovetable. Interest on the reserve in theCommon Fund would not amount tomuch more than £IO,OOO in the yearscovered by tabic—perhapsa good deal less. Even allowing forall tho means bv which t:;e ti>tal of in-terest retained the Department Uenhanced, the proft on the CossmoaFund seems unduly large.It is stated in one part of the replyto criticism that interest on ConausoaFund investments amounts to over£1,000,000 per annum. la another partit is stated that the average rat* of in-terest on th© Gammon Fund in 1923 was£5 10s 4d. It is not easy to reconcilethese figures. I presume that the totalof £1,000,000 has been reached dnrinsthe last two years at least. In 1923tho Common Fund did not txcted£15,000,000. Now, if £1,000,000 vroreearned on this sum, the average rat©would appear to have been approximate-ly 6 2-3 per cent. There seem to fee sur-rounding facts here also of which I amignorant. Tho average rate atwhich in-terest is earned cannot be obtained byobtaining an average of the rates atwhich loans arc made. It all dependsupon how much is lent at each rate.

When it is stated that the averagerate for 1920, for instance, was £5 fcj7d, and that estates in the CommonFund were credited with interest at therato of 5 per cent., we are expected toinfer that the Department retainedonly 6s 7d out of every £5 6s 7d earnedon tho Common Fund, or about 6 percent. If that wore the case, thea theDepartment should have retained about£40,000. According to its accounts itretained about £124,000 in that year,even allowing for the bonus given.

*

TheDepartment in reality does not creditinterest to all estates and moneys mak-ing up the Common Fund at the rate ofo per cent. On a large portion it paysonly 4i per cent., which, if £S 6a 7<A betho average rate, enables the Depart-ment to retain about 15.6 of the inter-est earned.

Once again I wish it clearly under-stood that I am not leading % crusadeagainst tho Public Trust Office, nor doI wish to undermine public confides*© inthe Office. My aim is to defend abate-ments made in iny articles published in"The Prose." To prove the accuracyor inaccuracy of those statements theDepartment should compile a table,covering several recent years, showing:

(a) Amount at credit of. estates iaCommon Fund.

(b) Amount at credit of Goveranreatfunds in the Common Fond.

(c) Total interest earned by the Com*men Fond.

(d) Interest credited to ©states iaCommon Fund.

(e) Interest credited to Governmentfunds in the Common Fund.

(f) Interest retained by the Depart-ment.

This information cannot be obtaicetlwith any high degree of accuracy fromthe reports and accounts published bythe Department.

COMMERCIAL.

TRADE BOOM.

MANY NEW COMPANIES.

(SPECIAI, TO "THS PBIS8.")

••AUCKLAND. November 16.A feature of commercial activities in

Auckland has been the phenomenalregistration of companies throughoutthe year* and it is anticipated that bythe end. of December there will havebeen. 200 new companies registered.Already 194 have been registeredat theAuckland office, which is a record.When it is remembered that in theafter-war boom of 1920 the number ofcompanies registered throughout NewZealand for that vear was 501, follow-ed by 337 in 1921, and 417 the follow-ing year, it will be recognised that theregistration of 200 companies in Auck-land alone for the present year isphenomenal.

Speaking on the subject to-day, aprominent sharebroker stated that theyear had been an exceptional one inthis respect. Not only had a very greatnumber of private and public com-panies been promoted, but there hadalso been an exceptional issue of sharesand debentures.

Asked what this signified, he saidthat it was evident that there had beenan impression that a large amount ofpublic money was available for invest-ment, and apparently the impressionhad been well grounded, for a very largenumber of shares and debentures hadbeen taken up by the public. Theregistration of private companies wasno doubt due to business folk findingthat banking facilities at present werea little restrictive and irksome. Thismeans was used to get the use, on bet-ter terms, of some of the public moneywhich was awaiting investment in solidconcerns.''There is some indication at the

moment," said the broker, "that thepromotion of new companies has beenrather overdone. Corporation deben-tures are a little slow in selling justnow, and several of the new publiccompanies' shares are hanging fire.Against this, however, there is ageneral feeling that next year is goingto be a good commercial and businessone, and brokers are expecting thatafter the year-end holidays there willbe a bYiSk revival of registrations andsales "of shares.

LONDON, November 14.Following on the Bradford conference

held on September 9th, a conferenceof the wool industry and Dominion pro-ducers was held in London this morn-ing to discuss the suggested new pack,designed greatly to reduce expenses.Air Fairbairn presided. Australia, SouthAfrica, and New Zealand were officiallyrepresented.

Sir AY. H. Aykroyd, chairman of theBradford Chamber of Commerce, sub-mitted a pack to hold 5001b, . compar-ed with the present pack of 3301b,which would permit lower cost andtare. The pack was made of a lightwool mixture to avoid jute blemishes inunpacking, and banded with iron hoops.

A committed of five representativesof the trade and six representativesof the producers, was set up to con-sider the proposal.

Sir W. H. "Aykroyd said that thenew pack would save the trade £BOO,OOOa vear, and jocularly added that itwould be worth while to reimburse afew growers for the cost of a new press.

Replying to a' suggestion that thenew pack should be of same sizeas those now in use, he declared thatthe trado had- tried all sizes, and 5001bwas the only practical proposition, con-sidering shipping and railway freights.

Another trade representati-ve pointedout that the freight over 6000 milesfrom Buenos Aires was only id, com-pared with lid for 12.000 miles fromAustralia. The lower cost was duepartly to the use of a pack holding8001b.

SOUTH AMERICAN MEAT.

THE SITUATION REVIEWED.

The New Zealand Meat Producers'Board has received the following letter fromits South American representative, datedSeptember 20th, 1924: "

Following a period of drought, beneficialrains have been experienced all over themoat productive zones of this country, andwith the favourable influence of springpasture in the warmer zones to the northwill eoon be plentiful, though the coldweather has retarded the coming grass tothe south. ''

,Best quality fat cattle have been very

scarce and dear, and the greater part ofthe meit shipped as chilled would, undermore plentiful periods, very probably b.esent to the Continent. A recent number ofthe Meat Trades Journal to hand refersto the plain quality of the meat shippedas chilled from this country. The. generalscarcitv of fat cattle here during the win-

ter months can be realised, -as there k littlepasture available which, with the lack ofshelter or artificial feeding beyond alfalfahay, cattle could not be expected to befat "When ple.itv of rasture is again ob-tainable there will be the usual .larrresupply of fat cattle -available. The time willcome when feeding cattle will get moreattention than they have been accustomed toreceive in this country, and a supplement-ary ration of grains will be used and help toproduce better beef. The general scarcity

of prime quality fat cattle during the win-ter months forces the freezing companiestobuv the best they can get, and prices

are generally highest during July, August,and September, with a tendency to be-come lower as the supply increases with thespring weather.

Breeding and store cattle have main-tained their values, and are likely to bedearer as the conditions in the camp im-prove. Sheep of all classes continue tomeet a very firm trade, especially goodquality handy weighted hoggets and younglamb3. ,The New Zealand exhibits of live stock atthe International Show won many prizes, andserved to give -a good ' impression of theclass of dairy cattle and type of sheep mostfavoured in New Zealand.

MATSON AND CO.'SBULL SALE.

At Messrs H. Matson and Co.'6 bullsale on Saturday there was an entryof 147 bulls allocated as follows:—91Shorthorns, 30 Friesians,. 21 Jerseys, oGuernseys and Ayrshires.

There was a good attendance, whichremained throughout the whole of theside. A large portion of the' entryshowed to disadvantage in regard tocondition, the • result of the shortage.:>f feed throughout the whiter, andto this w.as largely attributable thenumber of lower-priced animals as com-p;ired with the. previous year. Themilking strains of bulls on offer, withone or two exceptions, were unattrac-tive. Good Shorthorns found a readymarket, but many of them were ratheryoung and for the most part weraoffered in a rough condition. Manyof the prominent breeders' bulls cameforward in excellent condition andwere a credit t<> them, and the pricesrecorded were an indication how thecxliibits were placed on the market.The following percentages give someindication as to how the sale went:—90 per cent. Shorthorns, 65 per cent.Friesians. and 75 per cent. Jerseys.

RIVAL SHOWS.

MANAWATU AND CANTER-BURY.

A COMPARISON.

(BPKCIAU.X. WBITTEK TOB "THE PSESS. ')

. (By "Marama.")For many years there has been con-

siderable rivalry between the Manawatuand Canterbury A. and P. Shows, whichare generally recognised as being thetwo principal metropolitan fixtures inthe Dominion. About twenty years agomany South" Islanders' who visited thenorthern Show came, back with the em-phatic opinion that the southerners hada very serious rival in this exhibition,which would in time actually surpass theCanterbury fixture. For some reason,however, the Manawatu Show did notimprove to the extent predicted, and fora time, actually went back, but recentlya decided improvement has been notice-able, and.the efforts which have beenmade to restore-its prestige have atlast, borne ■ fruit, with the result that,from the point of view of a stock exhi-.bition, the. first Royal Show, which washeld at Palmerston North last month,was a pronounced success.

Some comparisons of the.two summerShows which have just been held maybe made with advantage to both theAssociations responsible for their carry-ing out. 'in the first place it may bepointed out that the M&nawa'tu Asso-ciation has the advantage at presentof possessing the most convenientground on which to hold a Eoyal Showon account, of the extensiveness of itsbuildings, which allows it to house prac-tically thpi- whole of the live stock,which • such an exhibition attracts invery large numbers. It is expected thatthe Canterbury Association—to whichthe next Royal fixture is allotted—whichhas made considerable improvementsduring thq. last year or two, will fur-ther add to its buildings to remove thedisability which now exists: This As-sociation possesses a very great advan-tage over its northern confrere in hav-ing a railway siding to its grounds, sothat stock, can go straight from thetrucks to .their quarters, while in Pal-merston North the show grounds aresome distance from the railway yards.

liive Stock Entries.A comparison of . the entries at the

two Show's recently held indicates thatCanterbury, has a slight advantage inwhat forms an integral part of an agri-cultural show, as the following figuresreveal:—..

most important sections in the sheepwere Eomn,ey Marsh, Sbuthdowns, andLincolns, while fat sheep were extreme-ly well represented. At ChristchurchCorriddalps predpminated, with merinos,English and Border Leicesters comingliext.. None'. of the prominent breeds inthe south caia be grown successfully inthe north, although frequent attemptshave been made to introduce them, asthe conditions are not suitable, the re-sult being that the Komney is the prin-cipal sheep for wool, while crossing withthe Down breeds is adopted for the pro-duction of fat lambs, and the satisfac-tory results were seen by the very fineexhibit of fat sheep and. lambs at theEoyal Show. Canterbury, which oncewas famous for its fat lamb exhibits, onthe present occasion made a very poorshow, and will have to face a serious

i competitor-, in. the North Island in- thenear future if the stuff exhibited at thetwo Shows is to be taken as any indi-cation.

Cattle.So far as cattle are the

beef breeds were much more in evidenceat the Northern Show, and the qualitywas decidedly better. At Manawatuthere was a magnificent show of bothHerefords and Aberdeen Angus, whichseem'to have completely gone out inthe South Island, although many yearsago they; were a'feature of the' Showshere. It is a weU-inown fact that, theCanterbury market is now receiving afair portion ofr it's supplies from' theNorth Island, where '• every endeavouris being made :to bring animals to earlymaturity for the markets. In the milk-ing classes there were good entries atboth Shows, but the Shorthorns were-rather better in the North. In Frie-Bians, Red Polls, Ayrshires, and Jerseys,Manawatu considerably more than heldits own.

Horses.If outside exhibits in the draught-

horse section had been eliminated,Cal-merston .North would have,had but a.poor show, but the entries at Christ-church. showed a great . improvement,bpth;in; numbers and quality. In.- thelight horse sections, more especially -inthe. saddle classes the entries at theNorthern Show were, considerably large,rand acording to Mr H. Hassell, theveteran horseman, who was presentat both "events and judged at Christ-chnrch, although the horsea were betterbrought out, as a rule they were lack-ing in education, and were not wellhandled except in a few individualcases. Taken on the whole, the hackswere decidedly superior at the NorthernShow.

-Th/* Attendance.Although, the attendance at Palmer-

ston North was a record, the takingsfor the three days being £lßl3, it wascompletely overshadowed by the twodays' receipts at Christchurch, "whichwere over £2665, and also formeda record for this Association. It wasestimated that on People's Day (Fri-day), there were over 35,000 people onthe ground.

The Management.Having" compared the entries at the

two Shows,-it is-now-necessary to say. something-about-'the-way in whieh the'arrangements were carried out,;and in-doing-'so -some shortcomings which canbe readily-remedied may be pointed-outAt the Eoyal Show the Australianjudges were loud in their complaintsabout the limited spaee provided forthe stock judging rings, whieh weremostly placed in the alleyways between-buildinga, This, did not afford interest-ed onlookers and breeders sufficientroom to gather round the small ringsand .take advantage of the educationto lie derived from seeing the judges

jjgfißtSffl»a.a& £w£ oi aesi colßJuai

at work. In Christchurch, however, thewhole, of the judging of horses andcattle is done in commodious rings in-side the big oval, affording the oppor-tunity for thousands of people to see,instead of the view being confined totwo or three hundred people. The samejudges complained with no-uncer-tain sound: of the -delay between, thevarious• classes of stock- entering therings, which was most vexations, .andprolonged the work considerably. AtChristchurch, however, efficient and en-thusiastic class stewards saw that therewas no delay, and the next class tocome in was ready at the ring-side totake the place of the one just finished.The delay in recording, the results atPalmers ten, North was most marked,and. caused a good deal.of dissatisfac-tion, some of the results not beingavailable to the public or the Pres3representatives for fully a couple ofhours, and in this matfcgr the Northernpeople could take a leaf, out of theCanterbury -- book, w-hore everythingworked like clockwork. This is duein a great measufe'to the system adopt-ed and to; the wholehearted ...manner inwhich the class stewards and marshalsdo their duty, and there, is no reasonwhy the same expedition should not beused at Palmerston North.

U.S.A. AND JAPAN

FRIENDSHIP TOTTERING.

EFFECT OF EXCLUSION LAW.

(11T CABM—OTS39 iifSOCUTIOH—COPYRIGHT)AND CABLS AS&OCIATIO*.)

. NEW YORK, November 14.Speaking at Providence, Rhode Is-

land, Dr. Tsurumi, of the LiberalParty in Japan, discussed the Japan-ese Exclusion Act. He said that no

intelligent Japanese intended to stitletrade between the two countries.There was, however, a large party inJapan, which confidently' expected thatAmerica would challenge the Japaneseadvance in commerce and industry inAsia, -and regarded every such act as

the Exclusion Act as a challenge toJapanese Asiatie supremacy. It wasvery difficult to explain to a narrow-minded Nationalist in Japan that theExclusion Act was not intended toserve notice on the Japanese that theyneed expect no further internationalco-operation, aid, and friendly leader-

ship from America. Old Japan hadkept its faith in the friendship ofAmerica, but was it a "wonder thatYoung Japan had lost this faith? .OldJapan ruled now, but, Young Japanwould rule to-morrow.

A New Zealand Golf Annual hasbeen established, under the auspices ofthe Golf Council, and the first issue isnow'on the press. The Council claimsfhat it is now in a position to forwardthe best interests of golf in the Dominion—as it undoubtedly is—and welcomesthe new publication as a means to thisend. ' '

'

The Miramar Club-in Wellington hasannounced that it will hold a Christ-mas tournament this year on December29th, 30th, and 31st. The tournamentwill bo a handicap one, worked on theflight principle, the players beingdivided according to ■ handicap, andplaying off in groups, each winner, iua group receivirfg a trophy. In addi-tion there will be. tho usual medal andbogey competitions, with probably afoursome and a four-ball.

Thrceof tho first round matches inthe Denniston Cup', at Shirley, wereplayed on Saturday, and' in each casethe short handicap man who was con-ceding strokes won. E. M. Macfarlane,conceding eight strokes to E. L. Eonald-son, won by : 4 up and 2to play. E. A.Wilson, conceding two strokes to C K.J. Ward, won by. 4 up and 3 to play,and H. W. Macfarlane, conceding fivestrokes'; beat. L. J: Taylor, 4 up and2 to play.' C. A. Seymour and' D. Keesohavo not yet decided their match.They were air square on the first, matchof 18 holes. The second round" will .boplayed on Saturday, November- 29th,when E. A. Wilson plays H. W. Mac-farlane, and E. M. Macfarlane plays thewinner of tho Seymour-Eeeso match.

Once more A. D. S. .'Duncan hasshown- his outstanding brilliance as agolfer when fyo is pressed. Ho was offhis gamo in the morning when he playedH. E. H. Balneavis in the Mir. liar clubchampionship (36 holes),- and at' onestago was 7 down and' 14 to go. ' Hedid tho fourth, fifth, and sixth inthrees, and, turning for home, scoredmostly under bogey, returning a cardfor the afternoon round of 74, and win-ning 1 up. -

. Tho.. Christchurch Golf Club -will holdits third annual Christmas tournamentthis year at the ■■ Shirley 1 .links, but thedates havo not been officially, decidedupon as yet. Heretofore the tourna-ment- has been in chargo of a specialcommittee, -and not directly under theauspices of the--club, but this yearthe club will havo : complcto comtrol, ■which will assuro a muchmore successful meeting, regardless ofthe fact .that the tournament-has beenboth successful ptpular in tho .past.It is hoped that the date and: tho-events will,be •decided upon at - anearly, -date, so: that dofinito.'announce-ment can bo made.

A .-New York /Tcport says:—"GenoSarazen drove. off the' first ball in .agreat night play experiment on thonight of Oetober §th... Splendid search-lights •• illumined ;the Broar • Cliff ogrounds, while electric- glares; with a'total power- of 200,000 watts,. .>' hung

The selections for the ■ veterans'team, also without regard to the orderin which they will play, are': —L. Bon-nington, W. P. Anderson, W.'.T. D.Harrnan, C, K. Sams, C. H. Hewlett,C. Wood, W.8.-Pur chas, T. W; Wood-roffe.

James D. Harnett, in "Golf Illus-trated" (New York), says:—"WalterHagen'B victory in the National Pro-fessional Championship, at;French LickSprings, ■ was more : than anything! elsea personal triumph for him and a vin-dication of his standing as America'sgreatest competitive golfer.. I mighteven go so far as to include the worldas his kingdom, for his victofies__in thoBritish Open and in-'the.P.G."A."e"ventshave re-established him as the golferof the year in this, country. Hagen isnow on a par with Jim Barnes andGene Sarazen in a number of victoriesscored in the.P.G.A. event; Each havewon it'twice, but Barnes for consist-ency is one point up in that he hasbeen runner-up on two occasions, whileHagen has'only reached this stago once.The passing of Sarazen, coming as itdoes at the end of a season in whichhe has shown little of the : former skillthat made his efforts so noteworthy,suggests-that the 1922 and 1923meteor of the golfing world'is on theverge of being relegated to the ranksof those who have been described as' flashes in the pan.' While I am notconvinced that •■ Sarazen has degener-ated to this degree, the fact that heseems to have lost that confidence whichwas one of his outstanding, character-istics of a year ago is not helping hisgame any."

LURE OF DANCES..■ "'.■'■ : .....»„ -::.:.;

FARM WORK INTERRUPTED.

v HOSPITALITY TO CADETS;;

The wealth of hospitality that. - isbeing extended" to dame of the-'Englishpublic school, boys to the-detriment, ofa-'full--and proper interest in . theirchosen] life,,.was..'.strongly, commentedon in a letter read, at a meeting, ofthe council of-the Taranaki Chamberof Commerce .from a fanner who isemploying-one of; the hoys, -

' • The -opinion' was" expressed by* 'thefarmer• that it was. high'.'time some-thing was done regarding the numberof invitations that were .being given .tothe boys ;to be present'' at-"At .homes''and other: functions, of a like' naturein'New Plymouth at night." The boywith him had been •to several suchfunctions, and on the last occasion thathe had asked for a day off it had beengiven with pleasure. At five o 'clockhowever, a telegram had arrived stat-ing that he was-staying in town for. adance, which meant that'he would notbe back on the farm until nine'o'clocknext morning. ' A few days'agoa.letterarrived inviting the" boy to' an "Athome,'' dancing to commence at .• Sp.mi "I don't care whether—is athome or abroad,'' ; the farmer said."My cows- have-to be milked,.:and ifthe boy is not here to help someone elsewill have to -do- -his"work;" - —■ -

Busy Time on Farina,

. • The..faxmer_.add£d-.±hat.i if the' boywent on that occasion he.would ha,veto go for good. , In-was .unnecessary■for him to describe "life on a dairyfarm in the height -of•• the season, andhe was certain he was not.going.to putany extra work on to his wife,-whoalready had quit.e. enough to do. . Hedid not blame the boy altogether, buthe • thought; that rather much fuss -wasbeing made ; over .the. boys by peoplein town,, and this "svas turning theheads.of some of them. ■',-. •■■'■.".

The position was;summed up short-ly by Mr. Gordon Eraser, .president of'the \ Chamber., '.'Certain ladies; witha .laudahle,desires to. mother.: the boyson arrival and to assist .the.'Chamber,have been kind enougli to offer hos-pitality to them,"he said. . This was ;very much appreciated, : but ,it must ]

remembered:.that, these boys- hadcome to Taranaki ;to learn farming,•most- of them with little or no moneybeyond what -they earned. ■ It. couldnot be expected-that in the-.flush ofthe dairy .season the boys, could .bespared the timeto attend functions inNew Plymouth, and most of the bo'ysirecognised this. ..-"•' ."...'

"Unfortunately, too, somewhatsevere criticism of the condition ofhome life in Taranaki has been madeby persons quite outside, the Cham-ber," Mr Fraser- continued. "Somefarmers have heard of these criticisms,and naturally keenly resent :the sugges-tion that the boys are undergoingsevere hardship 'by lining as they do.They are under the impression, and inmy opinion rightly so, that it i is nokindness to the boys to unsettle themin th 9 busy, time of-the year."

Boys Settling Down.

Having come • ih"ihtim'ate ; contactwith most' of the boys, Mr Fraser said,without hesitation, that they • hadsettled down excellently,." and werekeen and anxious to . learn-.

BLACK v. WHITE.

PROBLExM IN SOUTH AFRICA

AS SEEN BY EX-NEWZEALANDER.

' The problem of Black versus White inSouth Africa, beforo v.-hick, all other'social questions in the Union fade intoinsignificance; is discussed in an inter-esting letter received in Wellington froman ex-New Zealander who has taken uphis residence at Verccniging, tba v.-v,-n

in the Transvaal where peace was sign-

ed after tho Boer War.Tho great question, the writer states,

is whether. South Africa is to be blackor white. At present a tniall whitepopulation of a million and a bait is

ruling a country with something likelive coloured men to every white, inoquestion of unemployment is inextric-ably mixed up with the- colour question.The difficulty is the sanio as that whichconfronted America in the days beforethe Civil War, when tho lower part oitho white population was degraded bynegro slavery and a false aristocracyof poor whites aroso in the SouthernStates who would not do "slave or"nigger" work. Though slavery hasbeen • abolished, there' exists in SouthAfrica the same false aristocracy..'"lt is so easy to have a native ser-

vant, male or f'cmalo, at 30s or 40s permonth, to do all the dirty jobs," thewriter states, "but it means the ruina-tion of; the white. One has to contendwith it:in one's own-homo. The young-sters are eo accustomed to calling on'Jim' to do this and to do that, thatthey .will shirk all tho menial wort theycan. So long as reliance is placed on the

■coloured faces to do the unskilled andmanual labour of the country, the posi-tion will never bo improved; it is gopleasant to have the hard work done byothers, and at so cheap a figure, that itis only the few earnest souls who lookto posterity who-want to alter the stateof things. •But tho whito population isstanding still; onlyi the very lowly orthe v irresponsibTes' amongst thewhites'! have largo families to-day,and unfortunately. those are just,the type ono. does not' want in-creased: .

The Montreal 'T>aily Star," "Can-Greatest. Newspaper," devoted

considerable spr-co to a discussion ofthe situation, and, in tho course of astriking article, captioned "Australia

Dr. Wall himself contributes an arti-cle on his work to the"Sunday Ex-press:" He' explains that in all hutthe simplest atom (hydrogen) the elec-trons revolve round the nucleus in suc-cessive rings, the whole system beingsomewhat similar io.the. solar,- system,t,ho ■ :Bun cofr.espondong.->to the. nucleusand the planets - corresponding to'theseveral electrons. ■■■-.- r .'■'.-

Constitution of the Atom.The chemical properties of the atoms

of .any elements;are more or less corn-,pletely. determined by . the outer ring

pf electrons. "The nucleus of the atomdetermines the, nature of tho clementto which the atom belongs. In radio-active' substances the nucleus, is shoot-ing off particles at a high speed, and inthis way tho actual nature of the mat-erial becomes changed,, that is to say,radio-activity results in the transmu-tation, of. matter.

If. in a complex atom some of the elec-trons nucleus can bo draggedout of their pah a very largo amountof. energy, would become: released, andif, the nucleus can itself be attackedand destroyed the "disruption"of -thoatom may become' completely effected.

"Tho high-speed' electrons in thoatom are equivalent to electric currents,and. produco intense magnetic fields inthe atom, these fields; being of-immense-ly greater .strength than.any it has be-"npossible to produco hithortoby arti-ficial means. If, however, it were pos-sible to produce artificially a magneticfield of strength'.'c.c-mparable to thoseduo to the electronic- Currents," and ifthis artificial field, were ' impressed"on. tho atoms of matter, it .would dis-turb tho electronic orbits *and under.suitable conditions- would break down

CANTERBURYJOCKEY CLUB.

METROPOLITANMEETING.

G. G. STEAD GOLD CUP DAY.

There were many varieties ofweather during Carnival Week, all fine,but 3ome more pleasant than others.On Saturday, when the CanterburyJockey Club's Metropolitan Meetingat Riccarton brought Carnival Weekto a close, it -was a glorious summerday. The gentle nor'-wester thatprevailed made it Tather warm formany people, but it allowed the ladiesto show off daintiest confections, withthe result that the throngs in thevarious enclosures showed more of col-our than was the case on Cup Day.Tho attendance appeared to be muchabove tho average, and backers had avery good day, as five first favouriteswon, and another was socond.The racing during the afternoonwas aplendid, for in race afterrace the finishes were very close,Oup and theElectric Plate, were easilywon. The Gold Cup was looked uponas a good thing for Gold Light, but noone dreamt that Mr W. TV Hazlett'smare would win so easily as she did,for after being responsible for thesolid pace set, she came away fromtho others after entering the straight,and had the opposition well beaten be-fore reaching the distance post, andwas being eased up when she passedthe winning post. Her time, 2min4sec, has been beaten only once in therace; that was when Winning Hit justbeat Amythas in 1921, and put up anAustralasian record of 2min 3 1-usec.Had Gold Light been opposed by any-thing capable of making her do it,there is no doubt that she would haveclipped Winning Hit's record on Sat-urday. There is no doubt that she istho beßt performer seen out at themeeting of all ages, and at present shehas no equal in tho Dominion. Theother high-class performance was thatof Royal Blood, and ho was certainlythe best sprinter seen out during thomeeting, for he carried 9sfc 81b to theend of 4v© furlongs .in theElectric Plate in 58 4-ssec, anddid it comfortably. It was easily thebest time for the distance done duringtho week. These two performancesaro likoly to be remembered for a longtime to conic. Betting was spiritedduring tho day, and the machinehandled £66)256 10s, as comparedwith £68,425 for the final day lastyear. Tho total for the meeting reach-ed £237,210, as compared with£237,802 10a a year ago,, which mustbo considered -very satisfactory.

NOTES ON THE RACING.

A FAVOURITE SCORES.The racing began with the Suburban

Handicap, and the public made a goodstart for they selected Giantkiller andhe won. It looked at one stage as ifthe issue lay between Whariti andProsperity, as they had a big lead oftho rest, but just when prosperitylooked to have Whariti beaten Giant-killor came with a well-timed, run outhe rails, and won cleverly.,

A Pine rinißb.: The Cressy Welter was a splendidrace.. The field got away in line, butthe horses with inside positions had aBlight advantage in the run to thecourse proper, where, five were in aline, . A great struggle ensued to thopost. Ilka and The Harp graduallygot away from the others at the endof three furlongs, and with Moorlandand Halgina closing on them theystruggled to tho winning post, therebeing very little between the four when,they Teached it. Had' Moorland andThe Harp "oeen fortunate enough, toget better places at the barrier theywould have beatei Ilka.

The Seymour Handicap.The start for the Seymour Handicap

was good, but the big field was soonstrung out a long way. Degage wasin the lead for a,little way, but wassteadied into third place behindKnocklyn and En Eoute, where shewaited until well into tho straight.Then she went on to win very com-fortably. She is a three-year-old byKilbroney—Misg de Val, and on hershowing she should win in better com-pany later on. Hallmark ran wellunder his big weight. Always nicelyplaced he put in a fine burst in thestraight, but could not catch Degage.En Route just lasted long enough tobeat the fast finishing Cumbrae forthird money. Escarpment struck sometrouble in the race, as when pulled upshortly after passing the winning posthis off foreleg was swinging, his fet-lock joint being dislocated. He wasdestroyed.

The Members' Handicap.Eeremoana was the only withdrawalfrom tho Members' Handicap, for which

Suggestion was sent out a solid favour-ite. Wild Hind, Firestick, and LastCrust went short in their canters, butthe rest wont down well. The startwas good, but Firestick and WildHmd were slow to find their feet, andwere soon tailed off. The field wasbunched entering the straight, and itlooked likely to be a stirring finish,but H. Gray, on the favourite Sugges-tion, had the measure of his opponents,and coming away after passing tho dis-tance post ho won easily. Firestickand Wild Hind finished just out of themoney, and better handled in the earlystages of the race they would havebeen dangerous. Peneus was toeverdangerous, and Mirousonta with Mar-tian Miss failed to see out the journeyat tho pace set. Fool's Paradise wasmore forward when the winning postwas passed than at any other stage ofthe race. D. Cotton, who drew an out-side position at the barrier on MartianMiss, 1 wag haled before the JudicialCommittee for crossing .the fieldshortly after tho start, and was sus-pended for a fortnight.

The Two-Yeax-Okla.All tho acceptors went to the post

for the Pioneer Handicap. They werenot a good-looking lot. The

at tho end of two furlongs had a fivelengths lead, while the rest hereunderpreisure to get near bin, Vigorousriding got second money for \ ictory

Bond. Had Arpent been handled mtho same manner he would have beatenVictory Bond.

Gold Light's Gold Cup.

The five aeeeptor 3 for the G. G.Stead Gold Cup went to the post.They stripped in perfect condition, andno fault could be found with the waythey moved, and they represented thebest class to be found in the Dominion.The start was good and Inferno tookcharge and set a good pace for a fur-long Then his rider tried the sametrick that was so nearl ybeing success-ful in the Derby, and he slowed up thefield, the first quarter being Tun m27 l-ss, but F. Waddell on Gold Lightwas not to be caught napping, and heivent up and forced the pace, .with theother three handy. Loughrea, Sunartand Lipielight appeared to be goingwell, but as soon as Gold Light wasasked to go on she romped away fromthem, and passed the post eas'ng up.Sunart beat Loughrea over the lasthundred Tarda. The first half mile wasrun in 51s, the five furlongs in lm 3s,six furlongs in lm 15 3-ss, and the fulldistance in 2m. 4s, a splendid perfor-mance when it is reckoned how easilythe mare won.

A Good Sprinter.There were only three runners in the

Electric Plate, Shirley, a two-year-oldfilly, Tukia, a four-year-old daughterof Absurd—Tahua, and the six-year-oldgelding Royal Blood, by Our King fromSanguinary. Tukia drew the rails withShirley next. When the barrier: rose thethree moved Uko one body. Eoyal Bloodimmediately headed the others, andbeforo going a hundred yards had .sucha good leadthat he crossed to tho railsand after that was never troubled, forstruggle how they would the two filliescould not reduce the gap. Boyal Bloodis a big, bold, black gelding, and lookswhat he is, a fine sprinter." His time,58 4-os, was easily the best for thatdistance put up at the meeting, and itwas a brilliant performance with 9st 81bup. So good was it that with 81b offhis back in the Stewards' Handicap theAuckland sprinter must have beensomething approaching a certainty hadhis owner not missed accepting for him.

A Splendid Tinale.■Tho meeting was brought to a close

with the Fendalton Handicap, . andthere was never a bettor race seen atRiccarton. Count Cavour and BonnieWinkie wero withdrawn at the lastmoment, leaving twelve to face thebarrier, Ruapapa was made an almostevon money favourite, and his support-ers Avero jubilant when they saw thefavourite had got a\yay well, and wasin front with' Tanadees forcing thopace, and it was a clinking good pace.The pair led into the straight, butPalestrina, Mantua, and Little Riverwero the only runners that wore nothard at their heels, and going just aswell as they were. It was a prettysight to see. them coming up the longstraight, spread across it and almost inline, while'all wero being ridden. Atthe distance Deucalion was in front andRooked as if he would come on to winby a good margin, but half a dozen ofhis opponents were not half beaten, andtho struggle over tho last furlong wasgrand to soo, Deucalion trying to holdtho length's advantage he had obtained,and the rest striving to get ahead ofhim. Eventually they went past thepost in a heap, Deucalion having lastedjust long enough to beat Eoyal Divorce-by a short head. Rivalry, on the rails,being inches behind Royal Divorce,with Tarleton fourth inches away. Thejudge's verdict was short heads be-tween the four. Then came Entfiusi-

, asm, Bonetter andBuapapa iix line rightl on the quarters' of the firstfact there was little more than ' twolengths between the first and seventh.Of the seven the horse that finishedbeat was Tarleton., and he was cer-tainly unlucky in not getting aomoof tho money. Many think that witha stronger horseman on him tho Nassaugelding would havo won, and it cer-tainly looked like it.

A humorous incident happened atthe Wanganui Show. It was just atdawn and the sheep stewards decidedto commence their duties by partak-ing of a stimulant. The wTiisky bottlewas produced (relates the "Herald"),but there was no water to break itdown. Then one of them had an in-spiration, and though of the dairycows, but' who could do the milking!A well-known local stock agent decid-ed to undertake the milking task, and,borrowing a billy, slipped quietly overto the shed where the milk cows werehoused. He was not long in locatinga cow with a big udder, and commenc-ed operations. Then the owner cameon the scene, and applied his boot tothe milker with considerable force. Nowonder, for this happened to be oneof the cows entered for the milk test.The question "who milked the cow"was frequently asked round the sheeppons on show day.

STEEPLEJACK'S FEATS.

DANGLING IN FRONT OF BIGBEN.

The famous stceplejadk, W- Lar.'

kins, who lately washed tho face or

Big Ben, takes all Ms meals up alott.

Swinging ia tho boatswain's cradle,

which ho i* tho first man to use lor

getting into close contact with Big

Bun, Mr Larkius recently jnado a

hearty lunch from a wing of a cliifeken,

and later brewed liimself a cup of tea,using a kettle which ho had taken homofor the purpose. . While ho ate hrfSeal his wUo and daughter patchedhim from below.. Mrs Larkins is vei>pSia of her husband's airy achieveto6

«He is'the first.man who has ejjrcleaned Big Bon ho^hands," Mrs Larkins told a J« gChronicle" representative. By bis jmethod ho is able to clean one part at,

a time, and the cleaning is carefullytimed, so as not to interfere withl the

i hands, When he goes up ho stays tliere1 until just before darkness falls.

\,mlo tho steeplejack's wife wasproudly explaining her Busband s

achievements, buckets, which looked nobigger than thimbles, were dangling mfront of Big Beh'a half-washed face-"Those are the buckets in which one orthe assistants lowers warm water in ajug to my husband," she explained."He is under contract not to use any-thing but plain warm Water to theclock. Mis method is to apply waterwith a whitewash brush, waslr that sec-tion a little later with an ordinarychamois leather, and then to polish it

well with a builders swab.Big Ben is by no means the tallest

proposition Mr Larkins hag tackled.Ho has-conducted three separate op-

erations on the Nelson Statue in Trafal-gar square. He has washed Nelson,

mended his arm, and strung him withelectric lights for a Victory Loan cclc-

r"Tho' chief difficulty my husßand hadto meet in dealing with Nelson, saidMrs Larkins, "was that of.getting overthe sloping projection which finishesthe column, just below Nelsons feetTin's sloping projection was covered

i With a slimy deposit, and it was very[ difficult to get a footing."I One of the most difficult climbs MrLarkins ever accomplished was when hoUndertook to clean a monument on Ben

Bhragie, on the Duke of Sutherland scotate His official climb was precededW an" unofficial one of several < nuleSover ilio mountains before his objectivewas reached. And then tho weather was&> severs that he and his assistant hadto choo away ico from their ladders,step bv step, every time they went up.

Mr Larklus'B oldest son. Mr TV. A.Larkins, has also a taste for heights.He climbs for a different reason, how-ever. He is an artist, and had a pictureTurn*' in the last Academy. Some of hismost successful etchings hale had fortheir subjects scenes' he has surveyedwhen accompanying his father, who wasat work on the Shot Tower, near the

i river.

AUTOGRAPH LETTERS.

PURCHASE OF VALUABLEMANUSCRIPTS.

In the period since.the Armistice itis calculated that, tho dealers and pri-'vote collectors of tho United Stateshave, purchased in England nearly amillion dollars' worth of rare autographmanuscripts and letters. Judging bythe results of recent sales in London,this ratio is being increased. A writerin "John o' London's Weekly" relatesthat he owes his introduction to thefascination of autograph collecting totho accidental discovery in the work-shop of an East London cobbler of alargo parcel of letters and documentsia the holograph of King James 11.,Samuel Pepys the Diarist. JohnLvclyn,and Prince ltupert. They were tho"cleaning up" of centuries of rubbishin an ancient hoUso in Lincoln s Inn,that had from time immemorial been.tho abode of lawyers, and the cobblerwas using the parchment and stoutpaper for repairing ladies' shoes. Anintimate letter of Dickens, dealing withhis relations with his wife, was ioundin the possession of the illiterate kopperof a low-class tavern, while an originalpoem in the handwriting Byronhad been treasured for years by an oldlady in humble circumstances, in thefond belief that the author was herone-timo lover, a village school teacher.An important letter by Lord kelsonwas found pasted at the back of atoilet mirror in a Yarmouth, hotel, anda valuable Dickens rpanusexipt hadbeen used a.s a rough memorandum-book in a Kentish hotel kitchen.

Hundreds of interesting letters by,famous people have been destroyedunder tho mistaken notion that thesignature was tho really valuable por-tion. A lady once offered- a collectorlor a charity bazaar « dozen "WaiterScott signatures. When asked theirsource she- coolly stated that she had jthat morning cut them from some oldletters which she had burnej. Those 1letters were worth at current prices iat least £100; the signatures would jhave been dear at five shillings apiece. IA cultured London editor. Who bad 1during a long life received many vaJu- jable ana historically interesting lettersfrom famous people, confessed, to-haY-

i ing destroyed them. In his poor oldi ago he found a fow letters from|. Dickens, Thackeray, and othea-s, the

; sale of which placed him in compara-tive comfort for a year or two.

Clever and successful forgeries haveoften deceived the collector. The "lead-,ing case" is that of the Lucas frauds, !the- principal victim of which was M. jChasles, probably tho greatest of mod- jem French geometricians. In the-.pariod between tho years 1862 and 1869 ;Lucas sold to his dupe the enormous !number of 27,000 documents, every one 'a glaring fraud. They comprised let. ;tcrs purporting to have been written jby such improbable authors as Abelard, ■Aleibiades, Alexander the Great to 'Aristotle, Cicero, Cleopatra, Joan of jArc Sappho, Anacreon, Pliny. Pin- Jtardi, fct. Jerome, Juvenal, and Soc- Irates, and most stupendous of jokes— <Lazarus after his resurrection. But ifor the records in the Fjeiich court, ;this story might bo regarded as a Ifraud. The forger received a sentence iof two years' imprisonment. I

LIGHT AEROPLANES.$

CHEAPER THAN MOTOR-CARS.

■ It is expected that light aeroplanes! that cost less than tho average motor-I car, and built in Australia, should' fc! on tho Australian market within a few

', years, if the experiments now being: carried out result in any success. Thei machines will cost approximately £3OO.; Thero will he 10 light aeroplanes in the; tests at the coming -Sev South AYales| Aerial Derby. Three have been importedi by the Government • from Britain. The, other seven are being built in Austra-■ Ha, and five are in course of construc-I tion in the Sydney district.j Captain W. Percival, late of the Aus-| tralian Flying Corpus, is building a ma-chine in a garage in Pitt street, to thedesign of Mr H. E. Broadsmith, techni--1 cal adviser and designer to the Depart-

-1 ment of Civil Aviation. The machine,| which will be flown by Captain Percival■j in the competition, will be fitted withi an imported; British twin-cylinder en-j gine of 10 li.p. Captain H. Itoss is

! building two aeroplanes, also to the de-i Sign of Mr Broadsmith, in Sydney.Each of the three machines designed byMr Broadsmith is a different type, and

i will demonstrate special features from| the scientific standpoint. CaptainRoss'smachines will fce fitted with an engine

(Beoeived November 16th, 5.5 p.m.)MELBOTJBNE, November 15*!

Bain fell overnight, but the weather wasfine by midday when the match betweenEngland and Victoria was resumed, on awet wicket. It was drying fast, and theball cut through it, the conditions beingfavourable to England. Play was delayedfor half an hour, and then Woolley andHendren resumed, Hendren hitting four offHendry.

Liddicut was unplayable. Woodfull, atmid-on, caught Hendren, and Wallace wascheered for a magnificent catch when heended the. innings of Woolley,. which hadlasted 113 minutes.

Whysall was uncomfortable. The fie'dingwas. accurate. Kyder, close in, smartlycaught Whysall, off Liddicat.

Douglas, who was next, was cheered bythe crowd of twenty-five thousand whichpacked the stands.

Ponsford, fielding in the outfield, dismiss-ed Kilner by taking a great catch.

Douglas played more cautiously, but theexcitement was intense when he was ncar.yrun out as a result of ft quiak return byWallace. He pulled Tarrant (who at thisstage had the best average, two for 50) tothe pickets, and faced Hendry at the otherend. He was driving strongly, and whenRyder replaced Hendry, Douglas bangedhim for four. Runs were now scarce, Bryanplaying a defensive game. Douglas oftenwas spectacular.'

Wallace took a dropping catch fromBryan and Gilligan came in. He was loud-ly cheered by the crowd. Douglas was inthe fifties and playing solidly, while Gil-ligan was Bneaking singles. Then Rydertook Gilligan'a middle stump.

Douglas played a sterling innings and hitsix boundaries.

Ryder was the best man on the ground.Hendren and Gilligan received an ovation.Mayne and Park opened for Victoria, Kil-

ner bowling the former in his first over.Hendry, who came next, was greeted with

cries of "Storky." Gtfligan had Park indifficulties The play was dead. Freemanwas mixing his deliveries, llendry pulledhim for three.

Woolley replaced Kilner at the other end.Park was now playing Freeman with con-fidence. Hendry notched three aiiS two, butshould have been stumped at 17. Hendren'sreturns were appiaudcd

Hobbs dropped Hendry at 18, off Woolley.Park hit the first four off Gilligan.
