JAPAN'S FUTURE.

For the cause that lack* asmntan**.For thewrong that needi reaittanve,For the future in the distance,Ansl the good that we can do.

Now that the first shock of the teirible catastrophe that has overwhelm*Japan has to some extent expendeiitself, there is being evinced a widespread curiosity as to tne effects whiclthis tragic occurrence may produce upoithe future development of the countr;and its people. The material injury icertainly enormous in extent, or wheiestimated by any possible standard ocost or expenditure. But it is certaiithat within a very few years the Japanese with their great commercial amindustrial activity, and with theinatural courage and tenacity of purpose to aid them, will recover their losground. It may even be argued that thdestruction of Tokyo and Yokolmin;

may ultimately prove to be a bleesin;in disguise, as these cities were moetl;ill-built and primitive slums, and thground will now be cleared for their nconstruction on more progressive ammore highly civilised lines. On thmaterial side it may be assumed that,comparatively short period of time willobliterate the traces of thegreat earth-quake and even its actual consequences.But there are other possibilities inregard to the social and political evolu-tion of the country which provide aninteresting field for speculation andconjecture.

It is only to be expected that thistremendous cataclysm, breaking downfor the moment all social and officialdistinctions between different ranks,anddestroying so many of the outward andvisible signs of power and authority,should have the effect of loosening men'sminds from thebonds of convention andtradition and encouraging the deeireifor greater freedom and wider indepen-dence of thought and action. Now this•aspiration toward a higher conceptionof social and political liberty is one of |the most strongly marked character-!istics of Japanese life at the present jtime. It was not possible for a peopleso intelligent and so highly imitative,:having adopted the material advantages.of Western civilisation, to shut their,eyes to the great tendencies of the age

' represented by such terms as Liberalism Iand Democracy. And as a matter of), fact within the past twenty years—ever since Japan's great triumph over,Russia freed thecountry from the dangerIof foreign aggression—Liberal ideas have,made way among the Japanese. But it'has been well said that in Japan Lib-!eralism is still only a sentiment and'not a force. Originally the Government!of Japan was a feudal despotism, andwhen the old order of things passed, away forty or fifty years ago, the newiconstitution provided carefully against<the incursion of democratic claims Uponthe preserves of the ruling class. Witha limited franchise and a system of

I Government; which makes Ministers andCabinets responsible not to the peoplebut the Throne, Japan is still virtuallya mediaeval despotism; and the resoluteresistance of the Conservative faction

r to 'all demands for a radical change inJ the constitution had produced bitter

' antagonism between the classes and the1 masses long before the earthquake came., There is, In fact, a close analogy be-

tween the political system of Japanandthe Kaiserism which the Great War and, the German revolution have so recently

i displaced. In each case we note the- complete absence of "responsible" orconstitutional government of the Britishtype, and in each case the "power be-hind the'Throne" is a militaristic cliquevirtually holding the reins and forcingtheir country at their own arbitrarydiscretion to enter upon schemes ofaggression and conquest. In Japan themilitarists and not the national Parlia-ment or the people have been answer-able for the discreditable course thatJapanhas followed in her dealings withChina. But though the militarists arestill upheld by the powerful mediaeval

* traditions that go back to the days ofthe Daimios and the Samurai, there has

' been evidenced of late vehement opposi-tion to their policy and to the characterof the system that they maintain, andthis hostility has mostly taken the formof a public demand for political andelectoral reform. The present suffrage

" is limited by an age qualification and a

'• property qualification with the effectof confining electoral rights to lees thanone-fourth of the adult males, and thoeethe wealthiest. For years past themasses have been agitating for the en-largement of the electorate, and sincethe earthquake the demand for theabolition of the property qualification

} has been forced vigorously to the front.- The latest news is that the Governmentr intends to introduce a Bill admitting toI the franchise all males over 25 years;

and if this proposal becomes law thisit sudden advance toward the democratic

goal may be credited quite reasonablyto the levelling and disorganising effects

Q of the earthquake.

MUCH NEEDED PROTECTION.

IThe announcement thai the Govern- j|ment is removing some of tbe valuable 'Maori exhibits and other material from .■the Dominion Museum in Wellington to',fire-proof rooms in a private building, is 'imore important than many of ourreaders may imagine. The condition of ,the Dominion 'Museum is a danger and .a disgrace. The institution has grownin importance year by year as tbecollec-tions are added to by local acquisitions ,and gifts from abroad, yet these very:'valuable collections have been house! j'in a wooden building which has been .officially described as "old, unsuitable,overcrowded, leaking, and decayed." It ;has been impossible to display the 1material properly, and the staff mustsuffer agonies of .anxiety about Are. tVisiting scientists have stood aghast at tthis risk to the beginnings of a national 'collection, and must have wondered whatkind of respect the Government andpeople of New Zealand have for science .when this material, especially that .relating to our own native race, could be ,exposed year after year to such danger. ,, Three years ago the Director said tho .failure to provide better housing was

Ia standing disgrace. The Government ,has been short of money, and probably •' it also feels that as this Museum serves ,

i Wellington as a local Museum, Welling- ,• ton might help in itg improvement. The ,( Director said in the report from which

wo have just quoted that it should get' from the people of Wellington the sup- '' port given to the provincial museums :i in other centres, but Wellington would '. .not show this interest so long as the :museum remained an ordinary Govern- ''| ment department. Wellington, by reason'of being the capital, is less self-reliant '•I than the other cities, and it does not,' sco why it should put its hand in its,Ipocket for what is called a Dominion 'business. Other places, however, which '' provide their own museums, may pro- '; perly ask that Wellington should con-■ tribute something towards an institu-, tion that directly benefits that city so

much more than the rest of New Zea-land. In the meantime it is satisfac-

l tory to know that part of the collectioni has been placed beyond the reach of 'fire.

REMEMBRANCE.The anniversary of the ending of the

Great War is the commemorationcommon not only to all citizens of theBritish Empire, but to our allies as well.No one date covers entrance into thestrugglo, but on the morning of Novem-ber 11, 1918, fighting ceased for all thenations that were grappling on tho mainfront. Many will remember the wordsin which Mr. John Buchan ends hischapter on the actual warfare. "Theminutes passed slowly along the front.An occasional shell, an occasional buretof firing, told that peace was not yet,but there were long spells of quiet, savein the American area. The officers hadtheir watches in their hands, and thetroops waited with the same grave com-posure with which they had fought. Menwere too weary and deadened for theirimaginations to rise to the greatmoment, for it is not at the time, butlong afterwards, that the human mindgrasps the drama of a crisis. Suddenly,as the watch-handg touched eleven, therecame a second of expectant silence, andthen a curious rippling sound whichobservers far behind the front likened tothe noise of a great wind. It was thesound of men cheering from the Vosgesto the sea. After that peace descendedon the long battlefield. A new era haddawned, and the old world had passedaway." In the light of subsequent eventsthe last sentence will seem ironical tomany. Five years have passed sincethat day, and a distracted world isstill seeking real peace. Yet we maystill dare to hope, with this historian,that "the seed sown in sacrifice and painwill yet quicken and hear fruit to theamelioration of the world, and in thisconfident spirit await the decrees of thatOmnipotence to whom a thousand yearsare as one day." We know that themen for whom we will stand in silenceto-morrow died for a noble cause, anddisappointment at the slow recovery oftheworld and its failure to realiseall theideals held aloft in the struggle doesnot alter the vast, terrible, ana wonder-ful fact of their victorious sacrifice.4Vo salute could be more simple, touch-ing, and satisfying than this silence.* Init we stretch handa across lengtheningtime to thank those who fell in battlefor us and all the world, and tell themthat we do not forget.

I "Bicycles are so easily stolen lieeaiisethe owners juat stand them anywhere inthe street that I don't think any dealerwho buys a second-hand bicycle shouldhave the money returned to him," saidSenior-Detective Hammond this mora-ine, when a young man admitted thetheft of a bike and subsequently sellingit to a dealer. His Worship remarkedthat very often dealers were handy tothe police when the latter were makinginquiries. The Senior-Detective admit-ted thiswas so.

Tamaki West Road Board has decidedto change the name of the district overwhich it has jurisdiction to simplyTamaki. In the old days there used tobe East Tamaki, the district on the farside of the Tamaki River from Auckland,and West Tamaki, the district on theAuckland aide. Tamaki West was foryears practically a fanning district, andthe name was associated in the mindslof most people almost solely with the itract of country that centres round theold Scotch Church. Then when the in-cidence of interest was shifted to thewaterfront through the growth of St.Helier's and Kohimarama the old ideasassociated with the name hardly fitted,and even to-day there are many peoplethat do not at once identify TamakiWest with the suburbs named. EastTamaki will always remain East Tamakito the old hande, but the country com-prehended by that name has been ab-sorbed by various local bodies, and theTamaki West Road Board thinks thereis no reason why Tamaki West shouldnot be simply Tamaki. The board'ssolicitors have been instructed to takethe steps necessary to change the name.

At the meeting of the MatamataCounty Council on Friday, a letter wasreceived from the Chief Postmaster inconnection with rural deliveries, in whichit was stated that the Department re-quired mail boxes to he erected in suchpositions that the contractor would beenabled to place mail matter thereinwithout alighting from his vehicle. Itwas desired that in cases where settlerscould not erect mail boxes' immediatelyoutside their gates they put them in aconvenient place in the vicinity. Theobject of the regulations -was to ensurethe performance of deliveries as expedi-tiously as possible. The letter was inanswer to a communication from theCouncil which at a previous meeting hadits attention drawn to the fact that_income cases on account of the formationof the road it was impossible to placethe boxes in the required position with-out risking' interference with traffic,and in thesecases theletters were simplythrown on the side of the road and notput in the boxes. Several members spokeon the subject, and it was generallyagreed tbat the practice of throwingletters about in" such a way wasa bad one and should bo stopped. Thechairman said that if a complaint weremade regarding any specific ca*e theChief Postmaster would investigate it.After some discussion it was decided toreceive the letter.

Among those woo havehad their e.vMbttior_j extended for ayear Is Mien Madeleine Hooker, whileMr. Walker Fennell, of He.wera, wonan exhibition for singing. An advancedgrade gold medal was won by Mr.Lionel Harm, of Napier (pianoforte).The following additional appointmentsof honorary local representativeshave been made: Hamilton, Mr. T. A.Lucas (Victoria Street); Morrinsvillo,Mr. W. E. Jerram, Manager NationalBank.

At the meeting of the committee ofthe Auckland Agricultural and PastoralAssociation yesterday it was decided toappoint Mr. F. R. Callaghan to super-vise the stock judging demonstrationsat the Spring Snow on December 7 and8. The chief stewards in the varioussections will be: Jdeeere. C. R. Spragg(Jersey), C A. Fawcett (Friesian), HBrown (Shorthorn), S. Hamlin (Ayr-shire), F. M. Waters (draught horses),W. J. Castles (Romneys and Shrop-shires), to act with Mr. Callaghan as asub-committee.

The movement set on foot some timeago to join Mt. Eden in the GreaterAucklandarea is gainingsupport. It wassuggested at the recent meeting con-vened by a former mayor, Mr. C Hud-son, that the Borough Council shouldconvene a public meeting and give theratepayers an opportunity of expressingtheir opinion on th© suggestion. Thisthe council declined to do, and lastevening the committee set up at theinitial meeting again considered theposition. Mr. C Hudson presided, andafter some discussion it was decidedthat petitions be prepared and circu-lated for the purpose of obtaining thesignatures of 10 per cent, of th* rate-payers necessary to secure a poll todeterminethe issue.i (Comment is often made in papersabout the man who is making £20 to£25 per acre yearly off his place, andmany Poverty Bay farmers regard this•s a wonderful achievement (says the"Poverty Bay Herald"). It may interestthem to know that there is afarmer in this district who has taken£1600 off a place of 40 acres every yearduring the past five or six years. Asfar back as 10 years ago he was taking'£1000 a year off his place. That showswhat can be done by careful and scien-tific farming.

TIME NOT RIPE.FOR BRITISH LIBERALS.

PITFALLS OF PROTECTION.

ENGLISH CABINET IDEAS.

SIR E. CORNWALL IN N.Z.fßy TeTetraph—Special to "Star."J

WELLINGTON, this day.The Rt. Hon. Sir Edwin Cornwall, iwho was in the British Coalition Cabi-):

net with Mr. Lloyd George and crossed ithe Atlantic with the latter when he ,'began his American tour, landed in Wei-!lington by the Maunganui to-day. He :came to New Zealand to combine busi- iness with pleasure. j'

The visitor discussed the political out- j•look with a "Star" representative thisjmorning. As a Lloyd George Liberal, ihe said he was a member of the Coal-1,ition Cabinet at a time when, in his■,opinion, such a body was essential forwar purposes and to meet the condi- :tions which immediately followed the jwar. Essential as it was in emergency, .he could not regret that it came to whatmust be regarded as a natural end laßtyear. Nor as a Liberal could he quarrelwith the advent of the new Baldwin' ]Administration. j

View of British Liberals.Trie interests of the country and ol

the Empire demanded that its govern-ment be undertaken by a party whichhad the power to form an Administra- ition, and a good many other Liberals jwho shared this view supported Mr.Baldwin. This did not imply a desirefor indefinite prolongation of the re-1gimc. At the same time, Sir Edwin\said, it was not desirable that it shouldbe cut short, till it had had an oppor-tunity of doing its work. At the endof two or three years a review of thepolitical situation would be desirable,and by that time Liberals would no ■doubt have become united again, and jmight challenge the existence of the jConservative Government. i

Political Storm Signs. ji

At the moment there was a fairly jgeneral opinion that the Government.should not be pressed, but if Mr. Bald- Iwin went to the country, as he pro-posed, on the issue of Protection he;would arouse at once storms of political jthought and issues that would certainly Jbe very hotly contested. He consideredthat it would be better to defer plung-ing the nation into party strife till the jEmpire had had some time to recupe-rate.

Triekiness of Protection.If an early .election took place and

Mr. Baldwin advocated some form ofprotective duties Mr. Baldwin would Jprobably win it on the abstractprinciple?but it would be a mistake toassume that if the election were so wonit would mean Protection would follow.While a plausible case could be madeout for Protection in the abstract, itwas a very different matter to put itinto practice. It was only when theGovernment went to the House of Com-mons with a proposal to establish »specific duty that the real effect of theduty became known. Sir Edwin said hedid not think a Government advocat-ing Protection could last long if it triedto pass the proposal through Parlia-ment. I

Protection in Practice.Sir Edwin Cornwall's attention was

called to the fact that Mr. LeopoldAmery, speaking at Hanley on Thurs-day, had stated that Mr. Baldwin,the British Premier had especially ex-cluded meat and wheat from the pro-posed new tariff so as to take awaythe old parrot cry about ''"taxing thepeople's food." "Yee," said Sir Edwin,"that is only putting more bluntly |<wfoat I have been trying to expresa.It proves the correctness of my pointof view that directly you come to aspecific article to tax you at once findwhat particular objections to such taxare. And nothing could be worse forthe Dominions than holding out thehope to them that through protectionsome help from the Mather Countrywould be forthcoming. Because even ifit might be some help it would be thathelp could only be given on such linesat the coat of bitter political contro-versy in the old land, and such helpwould be subject at all time to acomplete reversal of policy after anyelection. Clearly, therefore, that wouldnot be building on a sound foundation,and the work of statesmen to-day isto find means whereby the Dominionsand Mother Country can help eachother on lines .whfteh will be permanent,and upon which a much greater con-sensus of Unpire opinion is obtainable.It may, of course, be possible to dis-cover a duty in favour of which aconsensus of opinion can be found, andprotection on such lines, I mightsay, is desirable. Up to tbe pre-sent, however, I don't hold this viewas a religious belief that can never bechanged. I 'have never yet found,■when you explore all the ramificationsof a tax, tbat in the longrun it is worthwhile bo change a aetided nationalpolicy to bring it into force, even ifthere is a etigbt balance in favour ofthe tax. There is not enough of suchbalance to make it worth while toupset the national policy for somethingwhich at tbe best has only a barebalance of argument in its favour.Whavt I mean is that a protective dutymight, for example, give employment toa thousand men, but if it puts out ofemployment 900 men, that is such anarrow balance that I would notchange the national policy for it, and'I have never seen any protectiveduty suggested that would do anybetter than that. That shows the kindof dfifficultiea Mr. Baldwin will be upagainst if ever he gets the opportunityof putting any protective or preferen-tial duties into operation."

Sir Edwin will remain in Wellingtonfor perhaps a fortnight before visitingother parte of New Zealand, and an-ticipates gathering c large amount ofinformation about the country which,when he returns to political life, hemay be able to use with some benefittoo fiie Dominion.

Inquiries had been made in thisli9trict alone for up to 10.000boxes inmc lot, although, it did not directlyiffect this district.Mr. Rummerstrum mentioned it was>f interest to know that trade to Hono-ulu, Fiji, Java and Japan was steadily

The great handicap to thislass of export business was lack of alirect line of steamers, for all consign-nents had to be sent across to eitherllelbourne or Sydney for transhipment.Another drawback was the absence,of•00l storage facilities in Java anilla-pan. Mr. Rummerstrum, who has:ust returned from a trip round theAuckland Province, remarked that the,-ountry is looking remarkably welLPhe area under cultivation seemed toie increasing each season. Land value*n the province had; undoubtedly grownam high, but there was fairly rapidlettlement between owners and mortga-gees with regard to reductions, and ini year or two land values should be>n a very payable basis for the occupier.

Cheese making on the whole had in-ireased rapidly, and had tended to firmjp butter values and both, no doubt.:ome very close to one another. Sofar ns actual butterfat values were con;;eraed herd testing was increasingrapidly, and farmers were more andmore beginning to appreciate its value.Oie grading of cream was in the Audc-and Province carried out more strictlythan in other places.

'Under these conditions the Auck-land standard of quality of butter ha*been raised considerably during the listseason or two. Farmers were gettingquite used to these conditions, andsecond grade quality cream was nowbeing received in very small quantitiee.

VOROWSKY'S MURDER.TRIAL .OF CONRADI.

EXTRAORDINARY COURT

" , SCENES..

LAUSANNE, November 9.Amazing scenes continue in connec-

tion with the trial of Conradi for themurder of Yorowsky, a Russian Sovietdelegate. The trial sometimes gives theimpression that it is not Conradi, but.the various Russian regimes that areunder judgment. The four counsel de-fending Russian interests appear dailyin evening clothes, but the counsel de-fending Conradi wear frock coats. Theformer to-day solidly demanded the im-peachment of the witness, Crosier, awealthy Swiss, who caused a sensationby declaring that if Conradi had askedhim for money before killing Vorowskyhe would have given it, as he approvedConradi's act. Moreover, he would fur-nish funds to anyone who would under-take to kill'a Bolshevik.

The Russian counsel contended thatthe evidence amounted to an apologiafor crime, and Was punishable accordingto the Swiss Federal code. The demandwas referred to the Federal authorities.

Dr. Lodzijensky gave vivid pictures oftbe horrors of the massacres by theCheka (secret police), at Kief of men,women, and children. The bloodstainedrooms of the Cheka building and court-yard were 'full of dead bodies-. He "de-scribed the forms of torture employedby the Bolsheviks. The executions weregenerally" at night, a woman beingamong the executioners.

RAIN AND WHEAT GROWING.USEFUL INVESTIGATIONS.

LONDON, November 9.A problem of importance to the, pro-

posal to push wheat growing in Aus-tralia beyond tbe lOin rain belt wasdiscussed to-day by the Royal Society,before which Sir John Russell, head ofthe Rothamstead agricultural researchstation, read a paper on the influence ofrainfall on wheat yields.

Sir:-John Russell stated that whileSir Napier Shaw in 1906 and Hooker in1907 found correlation between theyield of wheat and the previousautumnal rainfall, especially duringOctober, he had found, on studyingcritically the Rothamstead results, ex-tending over 70 years,' that autumnrain was beneficial to certain crops andless deleterious to other plots than rainat other times. The differing resultswere due to the difference between ex-perimental ,and commercial growing, be-cause in wet. autumns farmers put incrops other than wheat. On large pro-portions of the holdings it was not im-possible far farmers to adapt theirmanurial treatment to wet or dryseasons.. .. . ",.,.

ECONOMIC CONFERENCE

IMPRACTICABLE SUBSIDIES.PROHIBITION AND LICENSE.

A USEFUL EXPOSITION.

IBy Cable.—Press Association.—Cop.rH_nt.)

(Received 11 a.m.)

LONDON, November !).

There was a discussion yesterday atthe Economic Conference on the questionof subsidies, import licenses and stabili-sation of prices.

Sir P. Lloyd Graeme pointed out thecommittee found subsidies impractic-able, as they involved retention by anyGovernment granting the subsidy of theright to exercise supervision and direc-tion over the recipients of the subsidy.They unanimously thought it would obvi-ously be impracticable lor one Govern-ment to do that which was within thejurisdiction of another. It was alsoimpracticable to make the subsidy varywith preferential rebates accorded tol.'nited Kingdom products, because thesubsidy would have to be constant. Theycould not depend on a variable factor,even if the proposal were attempted.While the direct financial benefit wouldSO to the individual traders, money forsubsidies would come from the generaltaxpayers.

It was also clear a differential subsidymight operate unfairly as 'between oneDominion and another.

The committee considered importlicenses and stabilisation of prices to-gether, because the system of prohibitionand license would involve the establish-ment of a State Purchase Board andprice control.

At the Genoa Conference very carefulconsideration had been given to the ques-tion, and the Conference unanimouslyadopted a resolution, supported by thewhole Empire delegation, that the sys-tem of prohibition and license ought tobe avoided if any other system is appli-cable. The reason which led the presentcommittee to endorse the Genoa resolu-tion was firstly the tremendous uncer-• tainty of trade. If they had a tariffeverybody knew what it was; if theyhad prohibition and license nobody knew.As a result there would be great diffi-culties in getting supplies and obtainingshipment. It would be impossible torely on getting delivery of suppliespromptly on the issue of a license, andthe people whose production they weretrying to restrict would naturally be thefirst to take advantage of any artificialshortage by holding up deliveries.Secondly, the effect of the licensingsystem would give enhanced value togoods admitted to the country, whichwould merely go into the pocket of theperson obtaining the license. The licens-ing authority would have a duty thrownupon it far too invidious to lie borne,and might be faced with such a diffi-culty for instance as whether it shouldexclude chilled meat if frozen were avail-able: also a greater difficulty, whereinthe licensing authority was placed inthe matter of granting or refusinglicenses. A producer, whether here orin the Dominions, would say, "Why, yougranted these licenses." If, on the otherhand, they refrained from granting, thenthe consumers would say, "Prices haverisen; why are not licensesgranted?" Itreally might prejudice the whole systemof Imperial development if once' theycontrolled imports by license. Theremight be an irresistible demand for pricecontrol.

The experience in differentparts of theEmpire of the price control made itclear it was impossible in the system ofcontrol to let qualitygovern price. Theyalso found control of prices a costlyproceeding. The committee thereforerecommends the closest co-operation be-tween the Dominions and the HpmeGovernments and producers concerningimproved market conditions. Sir P.Lloyd Graeme indicated that if Britaindecided to impose a duty upon maltingbarley and hops they would give theDominions a preference of one-third—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)

LOANS FOR DOMINIONS.

ADVANTAGE TO AUSTRALIA.

DEVELOPMENT PLANS.

(Received 11.30 a.m.!

ADELAIDE, this day.The Premier announced that South

Australia accepted the Imperial Govern-ment's offer to provide a limited amountof loan money conditionally that suchmoney be expended firstly on publicworks and utilities either by the Stateor municipal authorities or private indi-viduals, provided the money for thematerials required for such work wasexpended in England. Secondly, the ex-penditure to be upon undertakingswhich would absorb emigrants. Undersuch conditions money would be suppliedat a nominal rate of interest.

South Australia was asking for twomillions sterling. The offer of loanscame through the Federal Government,which was negotiating with other StateGovernments.

Dr. Earlc. Page (Acting Prime Minis-ter of the Commonwealth) says responsesare very encouraging. He is convincedsound schemes of development through-out Australia would result from thegenerous offer.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

NEWS FOR DOMINIONS.

LONDON November 9.Mr. S. M. Bruce (Prime Minister of

Australia) is satisfied with the arrange-ments made for keeping the Dominionsin touch with the march of events inforeign affairs. It is understood that theImperial Conference skated over the ques-tion of an Imperial secretariat, it beingfelt that it would involve a constitutionaldiscussion, which at the present momentwould he inopportune and might createunnecessary difficulties. Tn the matterof foreign affairs, the secretariat couldihe of no real value, because the secrecyaimed at in such matters might run someadditional risk.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.!

Mr. S. M. Bruce emphasised that hedid not want the impression toget abroadthat Australia was in difficulty, and thathe was trying to grab something. On thecontrary, Australia was one of the fortu-nate countries. She was in no particulartrouble, and was able to go on comfort-ably, hut he believed her future laywithin the Empire. While helping theEmpire they were also helping them-selves to an even greater extent. Hemoved the reaffirmation of the 1917resolution.—(Beuter.)

EMPIRE CONFERENCE ENDS.

MUTUAL GOOD FEELING.I

DEFINITE ACHIEVEMENTS.

(Received 10 a.m.)

LONDON November 0.The Imperial Conference met this ,

afternoon to wind up business.The proceedings were marked by great

cordiality. All the I'remiers expressedthe unanimous opinion that the confer-ence had been most successful.

Mr. S. Baldwin ( Prime Minister) saidthe British Government was grateful tothe Dominions' Premiers, whose longjourneys had been quite justified by theresults achieved.

The Dominion Premiers expressedgratitude to Mr. Baldwin and the otherMinisters and to the Secretariat.

Mr. Baldwin, on behalf of the Govern-ment, expressed the opinion that theunseen work of the conference had beenmost extraordinarily useful and helpful;also the work of the Dominion Secre-tariats and the Economic Conference.

It was decided that the ImperialEconomic Committee should be composedof four representatives from Britain andtwo each from the Dominions, India, andCrown colonies.

It is learned that the Dominions willbe given preference of lid per gallon ongrape juice.

The conference adopted a resolutionframed by the committee on inter-Im-perial exchanges, which expresses theopinion (1) that difficulties regardinginter-Imperial exchange will disappear•when the currencies of Britain and theDominions affected are again convertibleinto gold; ('2) it is neither necessarynor desirable to adopt complicated plansfor the new credit instrument like Em-pire currency bills, which involve ditli-cult, disputable, constitutional financialquestions; (3) where difficulties havearisen the position could be amelioratedif the note issuing authorities accumu-lated sterling assets and undertook toexchange their local currency for sterlingand vice versa; which measure mightfurther be assisted by the creation ofcentral banks for mutual co-operation, asrecommended by the Genoa Conference"*resolution. Finally, the committee saysthe bank charges for buying and sellingsterling in some cases appear undulyhigh, and should be capable ofreduction.

The conference unanimously adopted aresolution relating to the application otthe Workmen's Compensation Actthroughout the Dominions; a resolutionrecommending the establishment of aneconomic committee which would be ofan advisory character, and which stipu-lates that no question having any refer-ence to another part of the Empire maybe referred to tbe committee without theconsent of the party concerned.—Reuter.

THE PEOPLE'S MEAT.

GOVERNMENT'S GREAT PLAN.

(Received 1 p.m.)LONDON, November 9.

The ''Sun" learns that the BritishCabinet's object in removing the dis-abilities on wheat ana* meat producersis to study plans for numerous nationalcold storage plants and huge elevatorsin the principal ports of Britain, givingEmpire producers free storage and en-;abling them to hold large supplies forIlengthy periods to regulate sales and tojrid the country of domination of foreignIfood trusts. It is also planning sub-1sidics to shipping trading to Empire jports.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)

DOMINION PRODUCTS.

(Received I±W p.m.)LONDON, November !).

Mr. S. M. Bruce said that Australiarecognised that the preferences givenwere not at the moment going to ensurethat Dominion products would be flowingwith certainty into Britain, unless theyon their side were prepared to do allnecessary to keep the trade in whichthey had been given exceptional oppor-tunities. They would have to improvethe standard of grading and packing andprovide for efficient marketing. Therewas a possibility that preference wouldnot actually be effective unless the Bri-tish Government could see its way totake action and see that it was giveneffect to. There were great interestshere concerned to see that these tradesshould not get into the hands of theDominions, aud they would try dumpinginto this market in order to strangleDominion trade.

Australia at present protected Britishmanufacturers against dumping. There-fore it was not unreasonable to ask forreciprocal action. There was one indus-try (beef) in which we were much con-cerned, because of what it meant to Aus-tralia and the Empire. He thought somesolution (even if temporary) should besought, and hoped the Economic Commit-tee just appointed mightseek a solution.

In reference to the chairman's state-ment in regard to the committee's re-port on import licenses, he wished tomake it clear that, although he madesuggestions which had been investigated,he took no responsibility for them, nordid he hold a brief for the methods pro-posed. He had indicated that Australiabelieved there was only one really satis-factory way, and that was by tariff andpreference. He had merely suggested. there were.other alternatives that shouldbe investigated.

IMPORTS TO BRITAIN.The chairman interpolated that there

was no intention to shut out other means.It was only intended to show that tinmethods were impracticable and thatthey must endeavour to achieve theirpurpose oil other lines.

Mr. Bruce continued that lie clearlyrecognised it was entirely a matter forthe British Government to determinewhat it is going to do with regard toanything imported into Britain. It wasnot the business of any Dominion to,exert pressure. "Above everything." be. said, "if Britain is determined againsta tariff on wheat and meat, do not let usabandon the idea of doing anything at,

' all."Mr. Massey endorsed Mr. Bruce s re-

' mark regarding the meat industry, lie. hoped New Zealand's experiment ill chill-; ing beef would prove successful, and!enable her to compete with SouthAmerica. He agreed the meat question

' was the most serious the British Govern-ment had to tackle. He did not see any

way out unless by extension of prefer-ence. He thought something should be|

' done to limit profits of the handling ofproduce, and instanced a case of pro-

' dUCerS receiving only a penny a poundfor apples which sold in London at sevenpence halfpenny. Preference just con-ceded would go a long way to help theproducers.

Mr. Massey thought it would be betterfor the Empire if the money proposed tobe invested in Russia were us d to de-velop the oversea Dominions. lie trustedthe different units of the Empire woulddo their utmost to place orders in themarkets of Britain and thus help dispelunemployment.—(A. and N.Z.

LONDON, November 0.The "Daily Express."" in an editorial,

expresses tiie hope that Mr. Lloyd(Jeorge's sojourn in Canada has imbuedhis imagination with the imperial ideal,and that be has realised the immensepossibilities of inter-Imperial co-opera-tion.

WHEAT AND MEAT.

CHALLENGE FROM LABOUR.

LONDON, November !>.The "Daily Chronicle" says the Con-

servatives are much divided over thetariff issue at the general election, tinesection is dissatisfied at the omission ofthe wheat and meat duties, which theyclaim prevents real preference. Othersare afraid of food taxes, ibut favour anemasculated programme. A third sectionhopes yet to see a protectionist pro-gramme, including duties on importedbacon, eggs, and dairy produce.

Labour intends to challenge the Gov-ernment's unemployment policy, includ-ing the tariff, as soon as the House ofCommons meets. In the meantime, Mr.Lloyd George's return to-morrow iskeenly awaited. His ex-colleagues willmeet him at Southampton and confer onthe election outlook.—(A. and N.Z.)

He would have been glad ifhe could havepassed over thecrime witha light sentence, but bis 'obligations to-he public would not permit him el-«-gether to do that. The sen-snee wouldte the eo-BparatiTety light one of twelvemonths' imprisonment.

LAKE HITO DISBOMESTT."Pri-e-ier tte-ght te had a right to

to tate the gear-hex from the Cadillacelu-aais, bat the jnry were againat him,"•aid Mr. A. Moody on behalf of HoraceDa-is, electrician, SI years of age, whoeommft-Ml a. theft from a DominioaBead garage.

His Honor: I agree with the jury.Mr. Moody said it .was perhaps ioo

much, to ai_c for probation, but het-oqgh. that with strict

Hrr Honor: Probation is quite im-Boas-fri*.

Mr. Meody said the police report waslike most police repoi-s, in that it re-ferred to alleged offences which badnever been charged against the accrued.

His Honor said that te would notaccept the police report iss having beenestablished. He would treat the casea* that of a man convicted of some simi-lar offence, and who had gone back tothese dishonest practices. Tbe sentencewould be one year's imprisonment.

SATED BT THKU COURSEL."I had made up my mind to sentence

you both to substantial terms of re-formative treatment, but alter hearingwhat eoanael have said on your behalf'I have decided to give you" a chance."said Mr. Jnatiee Herdman to RobertRenins (21) and Norman Edward King(19), who had ben found guilty ofcommon assault.

On behalf of Rennie it was stated byMr. Fleming th_ _ i 1 must be rememberedthat he had been deprived at an earlyage of the influesee and example of hisparents. To hi* end*, it had to besaid that daring the terrible epidemicof inflnenea in 1918, Rennie had workedwell in saving the younger members ofhis family, and for this had earned theadmiration of everyone. It seemed thata great deal of his. trouble had beencanae-by drink.

His Honor: If. appears from what Ihave before ma that although this youngman was so good to his family, he hasnot treated hi- wife quite so well. Heowes something under the Magistrate'sCourt order for her maintenance.

Mr. _rlem_ag: The marriage, I under-__ar__, did not turn out to be a happyone.

Ashed by his Honor why he did noteomply,with the order for 30/ per weekin respect ofhis wife's maintenance, andwhy he squandered his earnings indrink, prisoner said lie never touchedliquor except on Saturday afternoon.

A civil action was pending, andprisons*! wouldhave to make good in yetanother way for his offence, said Mr.Pl-min-'. and this might be borne inmind when passing sentence. Rennie

I was-- quite a masnly young fellow, andiwas well liked. He was of such anature.that he would respond well to leniency.There was one child of the marriage.: In the ease of King it was unfortu-

[nate that he had already been convictedoa some minor charges, said Mr. J. J.Sutlivmni Two years ago King had beenfined 40/ for an assault that was notvery serious. He had also been convictedon a charge of drunkenness and forbreaking a chair. He had been withoutthe guiding influence of a father sinceseven years of age. Prisoner received j£4 per'week. IHis Honor: I gather from his recordthat he fa more of a larrikin than any- jthing else.

Mr. Sullivan agreed that this was pro-bably the ease. Counsel asked for leni-ency on a_eo_nt of prisoner's age.

"High wages for youths of 19 seem tobe only a detriment to the recipients.I-stead of devoting the money to usefulpurposes they squander it in drink," saidhis Honor.

The Probation Officer (Mr. W. .T.lCampbell) stated that prisoner had been jconvicted of disorderly behaviour whiledrunk.

Rennie and King were each placed onprobation for three yearn subject to theusual statutory conditions. In addition,Rennie wowld have to pay all that wasdaw to hie wife, and he would have totake out a prohibition order, to be re- iDews- from time to time, during theeurrencv el tte probationary period.King woa-d have to pay £10 towards;the east of the proaeeution in iaatal- jntmts at £1 per month.

FOR BEACH BATHERS.!MORE COfWENrENCES WANTEDI

X-_-__b.V_. AT T-UKAPtTVA.

i SHEDS AT KOHEMARAMA AMDST. HIT-tBR'S.

laasda tte harbour there are severalattractive seaside parks -Point Resoh-_u>n. Cflhea Park, and Point Rrfn—baton the outside beaches, complains areader of the "Star," there has been noattempt to eater for the holidaymatenrsm the tinea of the outside beaches inAustralia Waihi Borough Council istaking the initiative in developing the.__■>•_■ Waihi Beach, and in Glsborne anumber of energetic ritiiens gathered-ear-thing like -3000 for making attrac-tive tbe teach to which bathers and pic-nickers loch in the summer. The"Star's" correspondent admits tbat localbodies have not much money to spendon such matters, but he thinks the resi-dents of the seaside boroughs might begiven the lead to help themselves. Anattractive beach, with accommodationfor tte holiday makers, means a won-derful impetus* to the district, and thisasset is not always recognised in thiscountry as it is in Kurope, America, andalso in Australia.

A survey of the beaches round aboutAuckland certainly does not reveal any-thing of a lavish nature in the matter ofcatering for the wants of tethers, butia every case the people seem to haveleft such matters mainly to tbe localauthority, and the good example of Gis-horne might be recommended. Taka-puna Council is proposing to acquireland for a public reserve right on Mil-ford beach,and if tte ratepayers approvethe loan this will be a great boon tofrequenters. Over at Devonport thereis fair aeeoma-odatien on the beaches,but here again the local authority hasnever had much money to apare for whatis gen-rally considered luxuries. TamakiWest Raa-1 Board is a go-ahead body,and in its latest loan proposals there "is'an item to provide two concrete bathingsheds at K-himarama and two at St.Helierla, which wouM greatly improvethose popular haunts.

Popular Milferd.Ac present on Takapuna central beach

there is a big roofed-in bat-tshed withconcrete floor and cubicles, a fresh-watershower, open to the public withoutcharge, tte aco-mmodaUoa being forboth men and women. At Milford,which attractft by far the largest num-ber of bathers round about Auckland,there ia a well-conducted private estab-lishment, with, the scale of chargesunder the supervision of the TakapunaBorough Council. The Mayor of Taka-puna (Mr. A. M. Gould) explained thismorning that it was quite impossiblefor the borough to buildhousing for thethousands of trippers that thronged tbebeach. Among the loan proposals of thecouncil there was one for the acquisi-tion of four allotments at Milford thatwere vary largely used by tte publicat the present time. The idea of thecouncil was to purchase thoeeallotmoatsfor a park, but as at present they wereprivate property the visitors to thebeach would be shut out in the nearfuture unless the land were made apublic reserve. "My own view," saidthe Mayor, "is that we are serving thepublic of Takapuna and elsewhere muchbetter by putting forward a proposalto make this land a reserve than byspending the large sum of money thatwould be required for the erection ofdressing sheds. These may well followjwhen once the allotments are acquired.As a matter of fact, the borough needsmany things before dressing sheds, hutI think the idea of securing the landfor a park is a most commendable one,inasmuch »m there is not a single yardof public reserve on either of ourbeaches."

WARNING TO PARENTS.TRUA-fT PLATERS CHARGED.

SMALL FINES INFLICTED.Several parents were charged before

Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., in the PoliceCourtthis morning with permitting their child-ren te> play truant from various publicschools in the Auckland district.

Mr. Small stated thatone of the worstcases that ted ever come under 'hisnotice was that where a family of fivehad !een staying away from the NewLynn School.

The bankrupt, through his solicitors,had informed the Official Assignee thathe had not sufficient money to comefrom Owhanga io attend the meetingTie creditors, however, passed a resolu-tion in which they guaranteed his ex-penace.

Bankrupt's statement showed a de-ficiency of £830 3/9, bis only asset*being stock-in-trade, £5 19/, and bookdebts estimated to produce £30. Heattributed his failure to the expensiverunning expenses of the lorry, the fall-ing off of business in the early part of18-B, and his lack of capital.' He had

a fruiterer's and grocery business, whichbad been sold for £-00.

The three creditors present, each ofwhom said he had had a distress war-rant out against the bankrupt, ex-pressed dissatisfaction at the mannerin which the proceeds of the two saleshad been distrfbated, and despite thefact tbat there was little prospect orgetting a dividend from the estate, theyagreed to put their hands in theirpockets and bring the bankrupt toAuckland wrth the object of gettingmore specific information as to wherethe money bad gone.

Oolon-1 W. D. Holgate arrived thisnw_rn_Bg by tbe express freen Wellington,having returned from San Francisco bythe Maunganui. In conversation witha representative of the "Auckland S_sr"Colonel Holgmte said he had been awayfrom Auckland for five months, and dur-ing that periodbad travelled 11,500 milesby train is the States. "I went," saidColonel Holgate, "on behalf of the Ten-piri Coal Company to study hydraulicmine tilling, which system is extensivelyused in the anthracite fields in America.It has been adopted generally to allowthe pillars of coal to be" removed.Hydraulic mine filling was used over25 years ago. firs* to restrain and arrestmins eq_ee.es, also to uphold surfacesof minesrun under large towns. For thelast 16 years the system has been alsoused to enable the pillars of coal to heremoved, which effects a great saving tothecompanies.

"Business is good right through theUnited States. Everybody seems pros-perous. Wages STe high, and the costof living is, I should say, fnllv threetimes more than it is in New Zealand.For instance, the dinner that theGovernment provides at Marton railwaystation for 2/« easts 8/6 in America.One thing that impressed mc about theAmericans is their love of country andof their own particular State. There isno place in the world equal to it withthem, and that helps to boom the UnitedStates.

UNSAFE BRIDGES.

IN MATAMATA COUNTY.

Tim iiues-km of repk-injr unsafebridges with ooncrele wtruot-iire*. -H_s>

<t_t?-__Bed by the Mata_n__a CountyCouncil on Friday, when Mr. Stofforddrew attention to the fact that sometime ago a report had been made con-demning tome of the bridges. Thebridge over the Waihou Blver nearColVey-'s old cheese factory ha<l beencondemned by t_e late engineer, butnotices informing the public of thefact had not been poeitod. There weremany other unsafe bridges in thecounty. He pointed oivt t_wt tbecouncil should replace all these unsafebridges with concrete ones and raise a,loan over -he whole eoun_y for thepurpose. A policy of concrete, bridgesshould be considered, and be movedthat the engineer go into the n_aibterand report regarding the bridges gen-erally and the cost of replacing themwhere necessary.

Mr. Darby, while he supported Mr.Stofford as to the necessity of froingthoroughly into the question of bridges,drew attention, however, to the metthat the Public Works Department waanot building concrete bridges a.tArapuni, but -were constructing in hard-wood and ateel—he did not know thereason for this.

The engineer «a_i __«.. the reasonwas because wooden bridges weroCheaper, and by the time they com-menced to rot they were out of theGovernment* handa and were the re-_poas._4.ty of -he County Conociw.

Not bothering to con-sider the implied threat of this missiveor the apparent avarice of the finder-he replied to the anonymous tinderthat the latter could retain whateverportion he thought a fair nolatium.Imagine her delight and surprise whenthe next mail brought her tbe whole ofthe lost mosey with the exception of1/3, which the finder said, had been

retained to drink her health, as shewas a sport. The cuTtain fell whenthe "hello girl" inserted tbe followingnotice in the "Star." "Purse Finder.Very many thanks. You also are asport. C.8."

MIGHT CHEER HER.

WAVE THE TAMBOURINE. .A married woman and the mother of

two children charged with attemptedsuicide seemed very depressed whenbrought before Mr. F. K. Hunt. S.M.,this morning.

She mumbled something to the effectthat she had not intended to drownherself.

Senior-Sergeant Rawle remarked thatthe accused was very worried and hadbeen on remand in custody.

His Worship remarked that he didnot like to remand her foranother weekif she had to go back to the gaol. Per-haps the Salvation Army would lookafter her for a week.Adjutant Davies intimated that the

Army would care for the woman.His Worship: That's good. Let herwave the tambourine about; it mightcheer her up.

ZEAIAJfD.MINISTER'S OFFICIAL VISIT.(By Telesranh.—Special to "Star.")

WELLINGTON, this day.Sir Maui Pomare, Minister in charge

of the Coot Island*, who. with LadyPomare and Mr. D. ,T. Gray, Under-Secretary for the Department, -pentover five weeks in the group, returnedto-day thoroughly convinced- thatalthough the islands mill suffer frominadequate communication, there isgrowing prosperity, and good feelingbetween the natives and the Europeanresident* and Administration. ''Thewhole success of the group depends,"»a: d Sir Maui, "on suitable shipping.jWe could double the output of productsIwith ease. We could turn Rarotongainto New Zealand's winter garden, sup-plying- the Dominion during the -winter.months wiih tomatoes and other vege-i tables which only grow here in summer.I am particularly pleased with the re-Iception of the official party, which it isjno exaggeration to say was a wonder-fully fine exhibition of goodwill on thejpart of the whole community. TheKesident Commissioner, Judge Ayson. isa, popular and successful officer, and thecomplete harmony which prevailsamong•all sections is now quite obvious.! Fruit Trade Difficulty.

"As for commercial conditions. P.aro-j tonga, in view of the heavy trade de-pression felt throug-out the Pacific,jIK in a good flourishing condition. Thegreat, bulk of its exports are oranges,bananas and tomatoes—nearly all raisedby native planters, who work on pro-gressive lines. The leading chief hason one of his plantation* no less than.'IO,OOO tomato plants, well staked, andunder cultivation equal to the best NewZealand practice. The greatest obstacleto development is still lack of reason-able steamer communication with theDominion. As an example, we foundthat owing to the long interval betweenthe 'Frisco mail steamers, which con-stitute the most important link withNew Zealand, and give the South Islandits most direct supplies of fruit, twoplanters alone lost; between 500 and1000 cases of tomatoes which had tobe allowed to rot or turned to pig food.The orange season was over iv Raro-

tonga, but was still in full awing in theouter islands. The steamer Waiiaka,which provides communication betweenthe Cook and Society Groups andAuckland, is on her way to Auckland jfrom Aitutaki witih 10,000 cases of primeoranges, loaded at Aitu, Mauke andAitutaki. The difficulties of loading at\the tvo former islands are really extra-jordinary. Fruit has to be shot across'■a fringe of reef in canoe-, the ship lyin»out in the open." Fortunately at Aitu-taki there is a passage through the reef,which enables native w_ale boats totransport the cargo to the waitingsteamer outside. The natives are suctifine stevedores that on this occasion theWanaka loaded 8300 cases of oranges inless than eight hours, each esse baringto be transported over a mile from tbeshore. So energetic were the nativesthat tbe ship's slings sometimes failed tokeep ia.ee.''"We found the copra trade somewhatdistressed, duetto trie low prices, andalso difficulties of transport. Copra isbrought to Rarotonga in schooners, andthere is not the same opportunity ofdirect shipment to English and Contin-ental ports which Samoa enjoys.

Wireless Extensions.'"From the point of view of tiie Ad-:ministration," continued Sir Maui, -we

found the most pressing need is wirelesscommunication with t_e outer islands,Ior the lower Cook Croup, and as a result|of my visit arrangements will be madefort-Wi_h for the installation of wirelesson tbe islands of Aitutaki and Mangaia.lt is proposed to employ native operat-ors. Three scholarship boys, educatedat St. Stephen's, Auckland", have beenselected for training in the Wellingtonwireless _o_.ol, and" it is hoped to havethe plants working before nest fruitseason,opening in April.

Natives and Education."Education was another important

matter to receive attent'on, and decisions'of far-r-a-hincr importance were reachedwith tlie local administration, which willbe submitted for Cabinet's approval. Inthe past education in the northern CookIrfnnds. which lie 800 miles due northof the main group has teen left entirelyto missionaries. Jt is proposed that theAdministration assume responsibility for.education iv this area, thus linking upUi« whole of Xew Zealand's Pacific islandsviith the Dominion education system. Iintend to submit at the earliest oppor-tunity some requests from Europeanresidents for the Governments con-sideration,' the most important b<:ui--r aremission of the copra, export tax."

NORTHERN WAIROA RIVER.GREATEST WATER HIGHWAY _N

XEW ZEALAND.

(K.om Our Own Correspondent.)DA_K_AVH____, this day.

The article appearing in Wednesday's"Herald" regarding the Waikato Kiveri~ causing some amusement in locsIcircles, particularly the statement thatas a commercial highway the Waikatohas no riTal in New Zealand.Our Hamiltonfriends maybe interested

to know that vessels of 1500-2000 tona,drawing upwards of 15ft. can navigatethe Northern Wairoa River for a diß-fcance of 40 miles or more, and that theriver is navigable for a further 30 milesfor vessels drawing upwards of 12ft.In the old days, when the timber in-dustry waa at its height, it waa a com-mon experience for steamers of 4000 tonsdrawing over 20ft to take timber fromthe various milling centres on the river.The record, we understand, was theLargolaw, a steamer of 4800 tons, draw-ing 22ft. which took away two and a-quarter million feet of sawn tim'her tramTstarsriki, some 30 miles no the river.Even nowadays timber steamers of 1500-!2000- tons periodically visit Dargarille,which is 38 miles up the river.

In view of these facts, the statementthat after an expenditure of £10,000 indredging between Hnntly and Ngnroe-wahia this unrivalled Waikai-o water-way will ao-onunodaie vessels drawing•ft i» rattier ludicrous reading. Thereis no deair. at this end to belittle theefforts of the Waikato people in further-ing the progress of their district, lint itis just a* well to stick to fact*.

Counsel did not know whether hisHonor felt justified iv differentiating:between the two accused, who were!brothers. ;

His Honor: No, |do not think so." Mr. Moody pointed out that Harry!l-retwell did not take part in the sub-sequent attack, although as his Honor!had pointed out to the jury, he had |stood by while Drake was being brutally Itreated. " jHis Honor: I think the probabilityis that Harry Kretwell struck the blow]that rendered Drake unable to protect:himself. . m I

Mr. Moody: There will be civil pro-feedings immediately following the sen-tence of the Court. ' Public justice mustbe satisfied, but if too long a term of |imprisonment is inflicted upon Harry or Ieven upon Thomas, maybe itwill kill or jjeopardise the hopea or wishes of Drake |in the civil action. Counsel added thatIhis client had never been convicted ofany previous offence.

Mr. Osburne Lilly, on behalf of TomKretwell, said his client took the respon-i'sibility for the whole affair. Tom wasjust under 21 years of age, and he hadnot what one might term any criminalinstincts, but in this case he had lost 'complete control of himself, probably |labouring under a delusion that he wasI:It-ing persecuted by Drake. It was aphase of criminology probably outsidethe usual run of cases, and counselcould only ask his Honor to temper "justice with mercy. 1

His Honor: There is no doubt the ac-cused are of good character. i

Mr. V. Ft. Meredith, Crown Prosecu-1 ]tor: Outside of the assault, their eon-]iduct has been good, and they have been ,iindustrious and hard working. jl

His Honor, addressing the .accused, .6aid: You youngmen have been convictedby the jury of the very serious offenceof intentionally inflicting grievous bodilyharm- on Drake. The verdict was fullyjustified by the evidence, and 1 entirelyagree with it. The assault was premedi-tated; it was cowardly; and it was car-ried out with extreme brutality. Yourendered this man incapable of protect-ing himself and then, having batteredhim into insensibility, you dumped himinto his cart nnd let him get home thebest way he could.

"Under these circumstances it is im- ipossible for mc to do other than pass tupon you a substantial term of imprison- |tment. 1 give you full credit for the ex- jcellent character you bear in your own idistrict for being temperate and indus-i }trious and of general good character, jtBut you have been convicted of one of ]the most serious offences known to the _.law, and 1 must mark my sense of the cwrong you have done. You are each jsentenced to three years' imprisonment." t

The prisoners were then removed from „the dock. a

COMMITTEE'S DECISION.■—n—— m • •

UPSET BY SUPREME COURT.

AUCKLAND COUNCIL CASE.

•ludgment against the Auckland CityCouncil was given to-day by his HonorMr. Justice Stringer at the SupremeCourt in the action by Frederick JohnWilliamson, proprietor of a motor busservice between Point Chevalier Beachand .Grey Lynn, in which he moved fora writ of certiorari to remove the orderor resolution cancelling his license, andto quash such order. 011 various grounds.Air. B. McVeagh appeared for Willium- !son, and Mr. A. H. Johnstone for theICity Council. I

His Honor said the contention wasthat the inquiry by the Finance and

Committee of the City Councilinto "an ex-planation of Williamson'sconduct in connection with a recentassault case, henrd at the ilagistrate'sCourt on June 13," was not conducted ina judicial manner, in that the plaintiffwas not given an opportunity of know-ing and meeting the allegations againstliim. No doubt the committee acted ingood faith, but his Honor was satisfiedthey failed to conform to the principlesapplicable to such cases. The cancella-tion or suspension of plaintiff's licensewas, in bis Honor's opinion, not deter-mined according to law. Plaintiff hadno opportunity of explaining or answer-ing certain extraneous matters whichMiss Melville, a member of the com-mittee, stated had influenced the com-mittee in their decision.

In these circumstances, said bis Honor,it was unnecessary to give an opinionupon the other grounds raised on behalfof the plaintiff. But ho thought heshould state that the contention thatthe functions of the City Council underBy-law 707 bad been unlawfully dele-gated to a committee was untenable.The Council had relegated to the Legaland Finance Committee all inquiries aslo whether or not licenses should be sus-pended or cancelled. In this case thecommittee duly niiide its report andrecommendation, and it was the Councilthai determined the question none theless because they acted upon that reportand recommendation and made no in-dependent investigation. The courseadopted was exactly what was contem-plated by the section, and was abso-lutely necessary for the prompt andefficient handling of the city's affairs.

THEFT AND FORGERY.

FARM MANAGER CHARGED.BOBBED HIS EMPLOYER.

COMMITTED FOR SENTENCE.

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)TH KLTTI, Friday.

At the Magistrate's Court, to-daybefore Messrs. .1. Mel'arroll and <_.Churcher. J.P.s, William Farrelly,aged 30, a farm manager, formerly ofWaimiha. was charged on twelve countsof having on divers dates between June,1920 and August. 1921 converted sumstotalling £o_2 10/."> to his own use.

Detective -Sergeant Cameron, of Wel-lington, in opening for the prosecution,said the accused was employed by Mairand Company as farm manager at Wai-miha. He had power to draw chequeson behalf of the firm, had intsuod thisauthority and had posted forged re-ceipts to his employer. On one occasionhe had been authorised to sell 200 sheep,but had actually sold 4011 (o theFarmers' Auctioneering Company, forwhich he received payment. The chequewas made out in favour of Mair andCompany, but the accused had plaeeila portion of the amount to his owncreditat the Cnion Bank. The bank author-ities made investigations and the mis-appropriation was discovered.

S. A. Power, accountant at the CnionBank, Tc Ivititi, stated lie knew accusedwho opened an account previous toAugust, 1921. A cheque fcr £07 6/11from the Farmers' Auction.er Companywas paid by accused into his own credit.Witness noticed the cheque was payableto Mair and Company and marked notnegotiable. Witness consulted thebank's manager and a letter was writ-ten to accused asking him to get thenecessary authority to draw on thecheque. Accused responded promisingto get the necessary authority. Thiswas not. forthcoming and the chequewas returned to Mair and Company,Hunterville.

_2000 Out of Pocket.Sydney A. R. Mair. engineer to the

Rangitikei County Council, the principalin Mair and Company, said that theduties of accused were to manage thefarm, buy and sell stock, pay allaccounts and forward the returns towitness. Farrelly was provided with acheque book, and an account was openedin the name of Mair and Company. Allcheques and moneys for farm revenueshould have been paid to witness.Accused had never, during the term ofhis employment. paid any moneydirectly to Mair and Company.

The accused cross-examined witnessas to the length of his employment,which was given as five years. Wit-ness admitted that certain bush-fallingand seed sowing had been carried outfairly satisfactory by Farrelly. Wit-ness repeated n previous assertion thathis best ewes had been sold when onlyculls should have been sold. WhenFarrelly left, the first muster discloseda shortage of 000 sheep and between120 and 130 cattle. Witness consideredthat owing to Farrelly's misuse ofmoneys, loss of stock, compensationpayments to other farmers, etc., he wasout of pocket to the extent of £2000.

Accused: Mr. Mair, your evidencewill be given before the judge at theSupreme Court and I will be sen-tenced on that—

Witness: I could tell the judge a gooddeal. While you grasped my hand infriendship you had your knife in myback.

Accused: Could you tell the Court theturnover on the farm at Waimiha?No man living could give that after youhad finished with it.

Accused: Didn't you write and tellmc it was £5000?—Certainly not. Imight have written anything on thereturns you gave mc, which are nowproved to be false. Under further cross-examination fitness said that he pur-chased through the Court certain furni-ture for £40, which was once the pro-perty of accused. It would be possiblebut not probable , for witness not toremember having received certainmoneys from accused.

Detective-Sergeant Cameron gave evi-dence to the effect that the accusedinterviewed him at Wanganiii in Janu-ary, 1020. Witness produced a state-ment in which the accused had confessedto having either misappropriated, mis-used,, or converted to bis own use allthe cheques mentioned by the variouswitnesses in their evidence. The ac-cused was to appear at Te Kuiti onFebruary 1, 1922. He was then out on£200 (bail. Farrelly absconded to theArgentine, and only recently returnedand.he gave himself up to the police!Accused pleaded guilty and was com-mitted for sentence to the SupremeCourt, Auckland,/ Bail, which was forth-coming, was fixed at £1000, accused toreport daily to. the police.

Another blaze occurred at Waihi lastnight, when a bakehouse in Barry Rood,leased by Joseph Barton, was com-pletely gutted.

The alarm was given by ConstableTrask, on night duty, but the fire evi-dently had a good interior hold, andsuddenly burst forth with great force.The brigade got promptly to work, anilsoon had the outbreak in hand. Thebakehouse is situated between two resi-dences, each of which was in danger.The brigade prevented the fire fromspreading.

ECHO OF A DIVORCE

WIFE'S :FO-.TION EXPLA.XED.

In the Auckland Supreme Court to-day Mr. Northcrof. asked permission tomention the case of William Thomson,who was before his Honor, Mr. JusticeStringer, la-it Wednesday, on a chargeof having left the Dominion withoutmaking sufficient provision for hi-wife's maintenance.

Mr. Northcroft expla-ined that lie re-presented Mrs. Thomson and that hewas not in Court on Wednesday, andtherefore bad not. h_d an opportunity otcompleting what was apparently anincomplete statement that had beenmade. It had been represented tliat aseparation order was made am) -hattbe husband subsequently petitionedfor a divorce and a decree nisi w_

ffranted. That, of course, without beingamplied, made it appear to theworld as if Mrs. Thomson was thematrimonial offender. The position wastbat a -cparattion was granted on thea.prrtlicntion of tbe wife, owing to tbemisdeeds of the husband. It was truetbat after three years the husbandapplied for a divorce, but the wifefiled an answer and herself croas-petitioncd, nnd the decree was grantedon the wife's cross-petition nnd noton the husband's petition.

His Honor said it was just as wellthat the matter should be put rightin that way. It certainly did look,according to the report—he did notexactly remember what was said atthe time—as if the wife twos the mnt-rimonini offender. As it was not so, itwas in the interests of the wife thatthe matter should be put right.

ILntll this year, however, no rider had .ridden the winners of ibe New ZealandCup, Stewards' Handicap and Welcome 'Stakes 011 the same day. 1

Royal Present Is enjoying- a spell before:being- taken In hand again.

Several local owners desire to shortentheir teams, and In consequence severalhorses are now In the private sale list.

The South Canterbury owner. Mr. J. P. •Murphy, has secured stables st Washdyke,where • his horses will be trained by i.jMalonc, formerly of Glsborne.

Mount Eden 11. (H. Tinker) was schooled |over the pony hurdles st Ellersile on Thurs- \day morning;, and gave some promise orproving useful in this department. |

Klllocra. after being- beaten by InfernoiIn Uio Welcome Stakes at Chrlstchurchon Saturday, won the Spring' Nursery on 'Wednesday. He Is a great two-year-old,!for he cut out the five, furlong's with 9st,In the. saddle in 1.0 8-5.

Praiseworthy, who has gone over to .1.Chisholm's stable, has shown some speedover short courses without winning. TheRoseworthy colt Is rather a delicatejcustomer.

Raccful, who ran prominently at the!A.R.C. Spring- Meeting, was among thenon-acceptors ror the Hamilton Cup, butthe Martian Horse will claim a fewadmirers when next out.

There was very little track work stEllersile during the week, the raringIndulged In at the A.R.C. spring- meetinghaving tuned up the various candidatesfor the Hamilton meeting.

Tukla, which won the Welcome Stakeslast year, and Inferno, which captured thebig two-year-old race at Rlccarton on

■ Saturday, represented different owners.■ hut they were both trained at Fordell byK. Tilley, and ridden by M. Mccarten.Tlie success or Blank Ronald In mcDerby was very popular with the Rlccarton

! crowd. The hearty cheering which(erected him on His return to the birdcagewas partly Intended Tor the colt and his; owner, but It was also a tribute to J., Olsen. who many people recalled had onlyrecently resumed race riding arter a longabsence from the saddle on account of aserious accident.

i Refrigeration was canatderably knocked' about In tbe Stewards' Handicap, and herleg filled as a result. She was wellenough to start on Monday, but the troublecertainly did not add to her winning"prospects.

! The Polymnlan has been an unlucky per-

' former in classic events this season. Heiwas second to Wild Hind In the DunediniGuineas last month, and be boat all hisi opponents except Black Ronald In the New[ Zealand Derby.

It Is not often the horses with experi-ence over hurdles are seen in a Aew

I Zealand Cup field, but there were two on; Saturday. They were the Cup winner.Rouen, which was unplaced last August Inthe Grand National Hurdle Handicap, and

! Vagabond, which finished second in the. National.Sir Fanciful Is a pretty good sort or a

hurdle horse. He finished second to SirHoseberry on the first day at Wellington,and won on the following day. Goingon to Chrlstchurch he won the Port Cooper

■ Hurdle race and should add further to bisowner's account.

The Patronatu?—Monoel two-year-oldPaula, whlcii finished second to Koiic.t Inthe Prince, or Wales Stakes at Napier Park,

I changed hands recently, having been soldby Mr. W. Jorgenson to Mr. W. Kdwards,or Wellington. She Is to remain In J.Sullivan's stable at woodvinc.

An innovation that could with advantagehe copied by North Island clubs has beenestablished at Rlccarton this meeting-. Ateach or the pay-out windows or the totali-zator a card has been placed on which Isentered the dividends accruing rrom oneticket to ten. This Idea has been greatlyapprcclated by those fortunate enough tohave occasion to collect.

The tendon which troubled Glaive as atwo-year-old caused him to (ro lame afterhis race at Rlccarton on Saturday. Hewas withdrawn rrom his engagement onMonday and sent back to Trentham. ticwas accompanied by the two-year-oldFool's Paradise, which is shin-sore. Thelatter is to be gelded berore making, another appearance in public.

ROMANCE OF DIVING.THE LONELIEST JOB. j

SALVING GOLD.

A WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT.

When the salving of the vast trca-jure on board the sunken White Starliner Lanrentic—variously estimated atf8000.000 to £10,000.000—is complete,ih's formal official story of the divingoperations will surpass in romantic in-terest the wildest imagination of fiction.

Twenty fathoms down, among gravel,•M, slime and weird marine forms ofg-hn-l and vegetable life, naval divers,

the past three years, have beenjrrfrac-ing nearly four millions sterlingin gold ingots and silver specie fromthe twisted steel wreckage representingthe once-proud 15,000 tons vessel whichx German submarine torpedoed offLough Swilly in January. 1917 (saysthe London "Evening Standard").

A wonderful achievement. But whatof the courageous men—"toilers of the(Jeep" in its most literal sens-—en-gaged in this strange task?

The present salving feat recalls thehistoric operations carried out duringthe summers of 1539 to 1844 on thefamous Royal George, which founderedoff Spitbead in 1782.

The work was successfully performedby Mr. A. Siebe, founder of the well-known British firm of Messrs. Siebe.Gorman and Co., Ltd., submarine en-gineers, and inventor of diving appara-tus on the principle in universal useto-day. Among trophies of the RoyalGeorge still to be seen at the firm'sheadquarters are flint-lock pistols andan officer's sword, which may have beenthe one worn by Admiral Kempenfeldthimself.

Interesting facts about divers andtheir work were mentioned by the divingexpert of the firm, who is an ex-Servicediver, and has trained some hundredsof men for the work, including, in fact,one of the chief divers engaged in theLanrentic operations.

Carries 1701b"A man," he explained, "must be

physically fit in every way before beingtaught diving, and, wherever possible,he is examined by a doctor every morn-ing. In the Service he has to undergoabout ten to twelve weeks' preliminarytraining.

"Usually he is submerged about threeor four fathoms in open water to beginwith, being told off for duty in connec-tion with cables or searching for lostarticles. As, his experience increaseshe is given more responsible work atgreater depths until he reaches themaximum depth in training, abouttwenty-five fathoms.

" The approximate weight of thediver's outfit, including helmet, leaden-soled boots weighing 161b each, and801b of lead over the shoulders, totals•about 1701b out of the water. Thestrain of this weight is practically lostwhile the diver is submerged, owing to

* the presence of the air which is beingforced down to him through the air-tube connecting his helmet with theair-pumps or compressors on the sal-vage boat above.

" The length of time a diver can re-main below depends upon the depth at■which he is operating. The greater thedepth the shorter the time he can re-main there. This is because allowancehas to be made for the fact that adiver breathing compressed air is sosaturated with nitrogen that if he wereto come suddenly to the surface froma great pressure he might lose his lifeor become seriously ill from 'caisson'disease, or compressed-air illness.

"Accordingly, great care has to betaken by the men in the salvage-boatwhile raising a diver to the surface. Adiver working in 25 fathoms shouldnot remain below at that depthany longer than 20 minutes, if this canpossibly be avoided. Even then, it willtake another thirty minutes to bringhim gradually to the surface while hissystem is meanwhile throwing off thenitrogen temporarily absorbed."

Seeing Under Water."As to visibility under water, a diver

is very fortunate ifhe can even see whathe is doing,and a greatdeal dependsuponhis knowledge of touch and feeling.This particularly applies to divinground the coasts in moderate depthswhere adjacent rivers pour out mud andsewage from [inland points; or where thewater has bjeen churned up by recentstorms. Inj great depths, however, ap-proaching 25jto 30 fathoms, hard-bottomsand and shingle are generally found,and visibility is very good, providingthere is good light above and a clearsky.

"In diving 27J fathoms off Zante. nearGreece, I have been able to see objectswithin a radius of 400 to 500 yards._*Rom the position where I was diving,for instance, I could see quite plainlythe ship's anchor and cable at two anda half cable lengths away.

"There is, however, an eerie feelingsometimes when one is alone. No soli-tary traveller in the desert or in theAustralian bush has any conception ofthe utter sense of loneliness that attimes comes over the diver in greatdepths if he has time to meditate uponhis environment.

Octopus a Danger."Apart from the danger of 'caisson'

disease, there is always the risk of be-coming entangled in wreckage. Afterthe diver leaves the surface he neverknown what awaits him at the bottomor where he may land. The dangerfrom sharks in tropical waters has alsoto be reckoned with, and the diver hasalways his sharp, two-edged knife readyat hand for an emergency. The shark,however, is not so dangerous as somepeople imagine. He is quite a nervousfish, and is usually scared sway by themovements of the diver and the air-bubbles escaping from the helmet.

"The octopus, on the other hand, is(despite the reassuring comments thathave been published lately) probablythe most dangerous form of marine life.Even at Gibraltar I have seen thesecreatures with tentacles about 3Jft long,and, including the body, giving a spreadof about 9ft.

"Unlike the shark, the octopus goesfor anything it sees moving. Thedanger is that if a large one is encoun-tered it may throw one of its feelers,with a long row of suckers, round you,and immediately encircle you with itsother tentacles and bind your arms help-lessly by your side before you can slashat them with your knife."

A. AND P. ASSOCIATION.THE SPRING SHOW. j

GOVERNOR-GENERAL WILLOPEN.

EXHIBITION OF TROPHIES.A meeting of the Auckland Agricul-

tural and Pastoral Association's Gen-eral Committee, presided over by Sir.E. D. McLennan, was held yesterdayafternoon.

Mr. F. R. Callaghan, secretary of theEducation Committee, wrote expressingthe thanks of the committee to theassociation for the help given to theeducation section at the 1923 show,and stating that the Education Com-mittee would shortly present a report,on the programme for the 1924 Exhi-bition.

His Excellency. Lord Jellicoe, wroteaccepting the association's invitation toopen the Spring Show on December 7.

Mr. Clutha Mackenzie's request, onbehalf of the St. Dunstan's CigaretteCommittee for free space at the SpringShow was granted, as the proceeds areto be devoted to the Jubilee Institutefor the Blind. Mr. Mackenzie statedthat similar concessions had beengranted at the Hastings and the Carter-ton Shows.

Replies to circular letters sent outasking for district courts for the 1924Exhibition were, received from T_u-maninui, Whangarei and Onehunga. Allthe replies were favourable, and thesecretary (Mr. Stanley) was authorisedto visit Taumarunui on November 20to confer with the local association.

It was decided, on the advice of theassociation's solicitor, to ask theValuer-General to reduce the valuation on theassociation's show reserve at Otahuhu.

The Auckland Master Farriers' Asso-ciation wrote asking for particularsregarding the shoeing classes at theSpring Show. The secretary was in-structed to send full information. TheFarriers' Association suggested thatclasses in shoeing for apprentices shouldbe included.

The Grounds Committee reportedthat the work of removing and re-erect-ing 300 horse pens had been finished.The total cost of £168 7/7 included theerection of judging yards and removalof stumps and rubbish. Mr. S. Hamlinwas authorised to erect the sheep andpig pens.

Twenty-nine new members wereelected to the association.

The secretary reported that thetrophies for the Spring Show were beingexhibited in the windows of the E. andF. Piano Agency in Queen Street.

The election of ten members to actas the association's representatives onthe combined executive of the Auck-land Winter Exhibition resulted in theelection of Messrs. H C. Grierson, W.W. Massey. M. G. McArthur. R. Wright,C. A. Fawcett, S. W. Luxford, C. R.Spragg, S. Hamlin, H. Brown and J. P.Kalaugher.

The Winter Exhibition.A meeting of the Executive Com-

mittee for the Auckland Winter Exhi-bition representing the Auckland Agri-cultural and Pastoral Association andthe Auckland Industrial Associationwas afterwards held. Mr. E. D. Mc-Leruian was in the chair.

A long discussion took place on mat-ters affecting the management of the1924 Exhibition, and it was finally re-solved that the Agricultural and Pas-toral Association and the IndustrialAssociation work as equal partners for1924, but that for the. three followingyears the old agreement be reverted to.

It was decided to hold the show overa period of three weeks, to begin assoon as convenient after the Easterholidays, the opening being probablyearly in May.

_t was resolved that Mr. E. D. Mc-Lennan be chairman of the ExecutiveCommittee, to be, with Mr. J. C. AUum(president of the Nenv Zealand. Indus-trial Exhibition), joint president of theWinter Exhibition.

It was arranged for a deputation towait upon the Hon. Downie Stewart(when he is in Auckland about Nov-ember 21) to make requests concerningWinter Exhibition matters.

TAMAKI WEST ROAD BOARD.

LOANS FOR IMFKOVE---BNTS.

ROAD6, ____"_-_tV__-, LIGHT AWDWATER.

The __,n__ki West Road Board "ha*decided to take a poll of tne ratepayerson the 13th of next moo-h cm the follow-ing roan proposal-: —Electric lighting and water Works ex-tensions, £18,000: Purchase of PointEngland reserve and purchase of landfor widening the Kdh.i__a.rama esplan-ade. £21.830; Fire brigade station andequipment, office extensions and dressingsheds on beaches, £4150: Road eon--true-ion. .plan, and purchase of quarryreserves, £47,50-.

The chairman (Mr. M. G. McCarthy),commenting on the proposals said itwould be several years before the wholeof this amount would be expended ifauthorised by the ratepayers. The item£18,000 for "electric light and water re-ticulationextension wouldprovidesuffici-ent funds for thisclass of work for five orsix years at least, and would be revenueproducing.

With reference to the item £21,600,Point England reserve and widening ofK«_i-naran__ Strand, Mr. McCarthy saidthe former was a very fine piece of landon the Ta-naJd River, over which theboard held an option from St. John'sCollege Trustees, and it undoubtedlyshiould he acquired by the board. Asto the KohimaraHia Strand, a section ofthe beach became monopolised by a fewowners who 'happened to purchasewaterfront sections, and -he board nowproposed to endeavour to remedy themistake by purchasing the wholeof thescot/ions in question, to* remove thehouses to the back portions of thesec-ions, and so clear the way for thecontinuation of the esplanade rightthrough to the main road.

With reference to the bathing sheds,the board proposed to erect twodressingpavilions in Kohimanun* and two in St.Heller's, all being approximately 40 feetby 12 feet and built of concrete bloclcßwith .tiled roofs- and concrete floors,provisions being made for shower hathaand other conveniences.

The district now had a very efficientbrigade equipped with the most up-to-date meter reel aad other appliances,and proper housing accommodation wasvery cseeni-ial.

With reference to the item £47,500for road works, qjtarry reserves andplant, the ratepayers last year author-ised a sum of £32,000 for construc_ioiiof aide roads. The board felt, however,that several of these roads were prac-tically main roads, which, howeverwell constructed, if not sealed, wouldas soon a-s opened to motor cars, besubjected to the same volume of trafficas the recently constructed bituminousroads, and so be very quid-lv torn topieces. The members of the board,therefore, were unanimously agreedthat these, particular roads- should l>econstructed in bitumen, their exper-iences with the main roads proving tothem that where concrete was too ex-pensive, bituminous roads laid down onthe penetration system were undoubt-cdlv best.

NO CHURCH REUNION.

PRESIDENT OF BAPTIST UNION'DISCLAIMS ADHERENCE.(From Our Own Correspondent.)

LONDON, September _7.The Rev. W. E. Blomfleld, President

of the Baptist, College, Rawdon. Leeds,writes in to-day's "Times" on the sub-ject of Church union. He says:—

"After three years we have the admis-sion of a few Anglican leaders that, withsome reservations, Free Church minis-tries are real ministries of Christ'swords and sacraments in the UniversalChurch. This would mean a good dealif these gentlemen represented the mindof the whole Anglican Church. But thishas been promptly repudiated by the'Church Times." which represents apowerful section of the Anglican Church.

lt is incumbent on mc, as Presidentof the Baptist Union for this year, tosay that the Baptist denomination iswholly uncommitted by any of the pro-ceedings which have followed the Lam-beth Conference. Highly esteemed Bap-tists represent themselves, they do notcommit the denomination to anything.The opposite has been surprisinglyassumed in some quarters, and thereforea disclaimer is necessary, especially asthe conferences are to continue. Therearc certain assumptions underlying thedocument signed by Anglicans and FreeChurchmen and published on -lay 31,1922, and there is highly debatablematter in it which sooner or later willbe definitely challenged, lt seems alikefair to honoured Anglican brethren andjust to the Baptist denomination to saythis. The vice-president of the BaptistUnion, Dr. T. R. Glover, is now absentfrom England, but upon this point Iknow his mind so fully that I may con-fidently assert that he would emphati-cally endorse my caveat were he athome."

PUBLIC APATHY.

IN TAKAPUNA SHOW.

REDUCED PROGRAMME APPROVED.

The eleventh annua! report of theNorthern Suburban Agricultural andHorticultural Association was submittedto a largely attended meeting of mem-berg and others interested iv the Asso-ciation, held at the Foresters' Hall,Takapuna, last evening. Mr. ThomasHanna (president) in the chair.

In regard to last year's Show thereport stated that the entries were muchthe same as in other years. If any-thing, there was a better display andmore competition in the cut flowers sec-tion. The children's section was par-ticularly good, and for this the effort- ofMr. G. H. Matthews, headmaster of theTakapuna School, called for commenda-tion.

In regard to the ring events the reportnoted a falling-off in the heavy and lightdraught horse sections, so much so thatthe Society should seriously considerthe elimination of this section at futureshows.

The Show itself was not a financialsuccess, and, continued the report, theSociety had been able to show a balance,alone due to the special work of theSocial Committee. Year after year theAssociation held its annual Show, butapparently no headway was being madetowards the goal it had set. Each yearthere was practically the same attend-ance, which should be doubled, and therewere the same overhead expenses, so thatif the weather was wet the Associationstood to lose heavily. The costs of theannual Show were heavy in providingtents, horse and cattle lines, show ring,all conveniences, etc.. to say nothing ofthe days of labour given by members oftho committee. There appeared to beat present an utter lack of interest inshow matters on the part of the publicgenerally, yet there should be no diffi-culty in presenting a first-rate show ina country like New *-caland, and especi-ally in the northern suburban districtsof Northeote. Birkenhead, Birkdale,Albany, Devonport, and Takapuna,where agricultural pursuits were fol-lowed and intensive flower and vegetablegrowingwas practised and fruitorchardsabounded, and where the craft of theneedle was known to the gentler sex.But otherwise waa the case, and quite alot of canvassing had to be done toobtain anything like a good number ofexhibits. The time had therefore comewhen the Association must decidewhether it would continue to hold theusual Show, running the risk of con-siderable financial loss, or make a depar-ture and hold an indoor show only.

After some discussion it was decidedto hold an indoor show this year, insteadof the usual larger function, owing tothe very heavy expense and fin___eialloss incurred last year.

The following office-bearers wereelected: President. Mr. J. Collins; vice-presidents, Mr. T. Hanna and Mr. J.Sim; secretary and treasurer. Mr. Geo.11. E. Collins; assistant secretary, Mr.

ANGLING FOR HALF-CASTEVOTE.

(Prom Our Own Correspondent).SUVA, October 31.

The Colony is in the throes of theusual triennial election for members ofthe Legislative Council. The residentscf the Colony have the privilege of elect-ing seven members, known as theElected Members, as against thirteennominated members, whose duty it is tovote as the Governor indicates. Ofthis number Suva Municipality has theright to elect two members, and the polltakes place two weeks previous to thecountry elections. Fiji has not as yetbecome educated up to the value ofgeneral elections being held all on theone day.

The contest for Suva was very keen,and the fightwas the closest ever experi-enced in the capital. The two sittingmembers were Messrs. H. M. Scott, K.C.,and Henry Marks, C.B.E. They wereopposed by the Mayor of Suva, Mr. C.F. Grahame, a young and accomplishedlocal solicitor. There are no party poli-tics in Fiji, so that the contest wasfought out purely on personality, as tbepolitical views of the three were practi-cally the same. Mr. Grahame has a finecharacter for straight going, and thiswas the trump card used by his sup-porters. There is a considerable half-castevote in Suva, and all sorts of poli-tical chicanery was indulged in to catchthis vote. "Treating" was most openlyindulged in. and methods were adoptedwhich would disqualify a candidate inthe Dominions.

The result of the poll was Marks 273,Scotjt 234, and Grahame 193. Thehotels were closed till one o'clock, thenfrom 3 p.m. till 7.30. The results weredeclared about 7.15, and from then ontill late the town resounded to thedrunken shouts of the "free and inde-pendents," and fights were so commonas to callup memories of "the good olddays."

COMING AND GOING.

ARRIVALS EXCEED DEPARTURES.

The number of arrivals in New Zea-land for the nine months ending Septem-ber 30 last totalled 23,843 (males 12,769,females 11,074).

The total number of departures fromthe Dominion in the same period was23,204 (males 12,551, females 10,653).

The arrivals thus exceeded the depar-tures by 639 (males 218, females 421).

MR. J. M. CHRISTIAN.

The death of Mr. John Mills Christian,pumping engineer to the OtahuhuBorough Council, took place at theAuckland Hospital on Tuesday. He had•been ailing for some time and waaoperated on last Saturday. Mr. Christ-ian had been in the employ of theBorough Council for a number of yearsand was highly esteemed throughoutthedistrict.

Todd, said he wasa faithful and devoted servant of thecouncil and a man devoted to liia workand always at his post. Skilled a>bovethe average, of a genial and kindlynature, he gained many friends.

TRADE WITH AMERICA.

TARIFF NO BARRIER.'must go on increasing.

consul's optimistic outlook.(By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.")

•WELLINGTON, this day.Mr. K. G. MacVitty, Consul for

America in Auckland, returned on.1he Maunganui from a five months' visit|to the United States. There was a pros-;peet of his transference to the Balkans,but he returns to Auckland instead, de-claring: "I am awfully glad to get backto New Zealand,but I think I havebeenable to do quite a bit for the develop-ment of the Dominion's export tradeIwith the United States."[ Mr. MacVitty added that up till theItime of his recent visit he had been|absent from the United States for three;years. He found things very prosperousjthere on his return. During his stay,he travelled all over the country and

'observed that all classes ofbusiness were,flourishing. Mr. MacVitty said that heheld trade conferences in New \ork,Boston, San Francisco, and Chicago, andother cities, with a view of promotingthe development of business relationswith New Zealand, and it was his opin-ion there were some very good openingsfor trade, particularly for New Zealandbutter. There seemed to be a likelihoodof a good market for New Zealand but-ter throughout the States, and also inChina, where he had formerly been sta-tioned in the American consular service.

Interest In Dominion.The butter shipped from New Zealand

to the United States last year was verywell liked, he remarked, and added: "Ithink the market is going to developinto a constantly increasing one. I foundthat people were very interested in NewZealand, and keen to take its produce.Business people there are also desirousof reciprocating in this important mat-ter of trade relationships."

"Will not the United States tariffoperate disadvantageously to New Zea-land?*' he was asked.

"It does not matter how high thetariff is, it will not affect New Zealand,"replied Mr. MacVitty. "There are cer-tain things we must have despite thetariff. Last year we imported more woolfrom New Zealand than ever before.The largest Droportion of wool importedinto America is bought in London, butthere must be a very great deal of NewZealand wool amongst it which shouldgo to the credit of trade with New Zea-land. With wool and all classes of NewZealand produce, even to frozen meat,there is a growing market in America.In Boston now they are buying as muchwool, hides, and skins as they can. Thefeeling of Americans towards New Zea-landers are most friendly: they arekeenly interested in and have a tremen-dous"respect for New Zealand. It issurprising to note the interest taken inNew Zealand's system of industrial arbi-tration and in the Dominion's legislationgenerally.

"While in the States I came acrossmany New Zealanders in all walks oflife who had settled there. They wereall well liked and doing splendidly. Whileon a trin in the Kentucky mountains Ivisited the Mammoth Cave, which takes28 hours to walk through. A new en-trance has been opened up, and to mysurprise T found that, the man in chargehailed from Napier. Your Premier madea tremendous impression in the States.They liked him immensely in 'Washing-ton."

GREAT SOUTH ROAD.

IMPROVING THE HIGHWAY.

METAL FOR FURTHER SECTIONS.

For many -years past the state ofthe Great "South Road, particularly atRangiriri Hills, has been adverselycommented upon at the meetings otthe Automobile Association, and instill stronger language by drivers ofcars over that route, the Public WorksDepartment has now got to work inearnest to improve this thoroughfare. Alot of formation work has alreadybeen done in the vicinity of theRangiriri Hills and blue metal is beingObtained from Mt. Eden Prison forcovering the road. Contracts havealso been let for a supply of shinglefrom the Waikato River for the pur-

pose of top-dressing the blue metalwhen spread. Already the metal isbeing placed on the road betweenMercer and Ohinewai. Further lots ofmetal are being delivered about a mileand a half from Mercer near the Mara-marua Creek. This will be spread towardsthe Rangiriri Halls. A start has alsobeen made to deliver blue metal fromWhangamarino station, seven milesbeyond Mercer. The Great South Roadshould therefore be in a much bettercondition for vehicular traffic beforenext winter sets in.

SPEED BOATING.ENGLISH CHALLENGE.

Mr. E. C. Griffith, hon. secretary ofthe Motor Yacht Club of N.S.W., statedlast week that 'he had received wordfrom England that.'*?- John Thorny-croft, jun., is on his way to Sydneywith a high-powered latest model speedboat, and is keen on gathering in thechampionships on behalf of the MotorYa.ht Club of Great Britain.

Mr. Thornycroft is a son of Sir JohnThornycroft, shipbuilder and engineer.He is the builder of the world's famouscoastal motor boats, which renderedsplendid service on the English Coastduring the war. The craft, which are50ft long, carriedwireless, torpedo tubes,depth charges, Lewis guns and then at-tained a 6peed of over 40 miles per hour.

Sir. Thornycroft is well known in themotor boat racing world, having suc-cessfully competed in the sport of GreatIBritain and the Continent for severalyears. He is confident that his craftwill attain a speed of more than 50 miles'an 'hour on Port Jackson.

When Thornycroft- craft reachesSydney she will be tried out againstMessrs. A. J. Allan's Miss Aussie, andT. Bridge's Miss Sydney, claimed to becapable of travelling at more than 40milesan hour.

In Adelaide, the visitor will meet Mr.J. G. McD. Williams' Century Tire, anAmerican importation credited withhaving attained a speed of nearly 50miles an hour at Brisbane. The SouthAustralian representative will be Rymill iBros.' Tortoise, which has held the titlesince 1914, having defeated the great;iNew South Wales flyers in Greyhoundand Meteor. I

MATERNITY HOMES.

STATE INTERFERENCE.ONE SIDE OF THE QUESTION.

(TOLD BY A DOCTOR.)

"The proposed new regulations demand-ing an increase in the number of nursesto patients in maternity hospitals issimply a portion of a scheme to estab-lish a State medical Bervice, to be domi-nated by officials of tbe Health Depart-ment," declared an Auckland doctor to-day.

'"It is the common impression amongmembers of the medical profession," hecontinued, "that some of our Statemedical officers are recruited from theranks of cither young, untried men, orthose who are failures in private prac-tice. Let any layman look at it from acommon sense view. What inducementdoes the State offer a clever medicalman who can earn thousands a year inprivate practice? What man studiesmedicine to become a supervisor ofdrains? It is the State medical officerswho have suggested the regulations thatare intended to drive maternity casesinto State institutions. I should thinkthat the public are by now well awaketo the failure of State enterprise inrespect to some matters."

"There is a provision in the recentHospitals Act which makes it an otlencefor a midwife with a license to' takeone maternity case to take in two casesat the same time. At this presentmoment there is in Auckland a muse(a woman of excellent character andundoubted ability and experience) whois licensed to take only one patient ata time. A patient expected by ordin-ary calculation to lie received onOctober 4th has not yet been confined.On the other hand, a patient expectedon November oth came into this nurse'shome on November 4th. What is sheto do with patient No. 1 ? She is opento be charged with the committal of anoffence under the Hospitals Act. or totry and make arrangements for theadmission of the patient elsewhere whenadmission cannot be arranged in a dayor two. As a matter fact, she has nooption but to receive the late patientand chance the consequences.

"The case that is over a month over-due is a case which no maternity hospi-tal is anxious to accommodate, for thefees, of these hospitals can be no mor«for a serious than for a simple case ofmaternity. It is almost impossible toobtain admission to a maternity hos-pital in Auckland for even a normalcase. This applies to St. Helens as wellas to private maternity hospitals.

"It appears to us medical men thata grave anomaly is created by suchstringent regulations regarding one-patient licensed maternity homes. Thecases I have alluded to clearly instancethis. I will not refer to the consequencesof the proposed new regulations gov-erning the number of qualified nursesto patients from the economic point ofview. Sufficient to say that if theywere all applied, the maternity hos-pitals would all have to close unlessthey could obtain a continuous andfull supply of patients at not less than£10 10/ a week, instead of -5 5/, asnow charged."

SCULLING CHAMPIONSHIP

FOR AUSTRALASIAN TITLE.PROPOSED AUCKLAND COURSE.

HANNAN WORKING ON HARBOUR.

All going well, Aucklanders should beprovided some time about the New Yearwith the opportunity of witnessing asculling championship of importance,when J. P. Hannan, of Blenheim, willmeet W. McDevitt, Ta-smania, for the

iAustralasian title and a purse of £500.j' Most of the star attractions in thesculling world, so far as New Zealandjis concerned, have been decided on theIWanganui River, but on this occasion it!is proposed to row over a course in theupper reaches of the Auckland harbour,and the course which is most favouredis that from Riverlca to HoiMOnvilln.

lt was originally proposed thatHannan would row J. Paddon, holder of

Ithe world's championship, but the Aus-|tralian would not row in Auckland,jthough quite prepared to meet Hannanlat Wanganui. Since then negotiationshave been made with McDevitt, and atthe time of writing it is expected thatthe Tasmanian will oppose the NewjZealand champion. Hannan. it may beImentioned, has won the Dominion titlethree times, and during his ctrcer liasonly been defeated on three occasions,and then by the best, once by Arnst andonce by Webb. In April last Hannandefeated Felton. an ex-world's champion,for the Australasian title, and Felton isnow matched to row Paddon, and asMcDevitt put up a good contest withPaddon, the match between Hannan andMcDevitt should give rise to a finecontest.

Hannan has arrived in Auckland, andhad his first row in the harbour onTuesday. He is working from the Auck-land Rowing Club's shed, and for thenext couple of weeks will be seen oilthe harbour each afternoon, but his workwill be confined to long, steady exercise.He has two boats, an English boatweighing about 291b. And an Australian(a Towns), which is slightly heavier,but the one he will most likely use inthe approaching contest. This boat wasoriginally built for Darcy Hadlield, butthe latter did not use it. and it subse-quently came into Ilannan's possession.Hannan lias only used the boat fourtimes, and has not vet suffered defeatin it.

Ilannan's trainer will l.c GeorgeWarcham, of Blenheim, a veteran ath-lete, who may be remembered by veter-ans as one of the best runners theDominion has produced. He is also astrong supporter of sculling, and in 1910he took the Blenheim four-oar crew to,Australia, and, though defeated there,the crew returned and won the NewZealand championship, turning thetables on the Wanganui crew who hadwon in Australia.

Although very confident of success,IHannan in a chat with a "Star* repre-sentative, said that he was going totrain solidly and leave nothing tochance, as he expected to lie tried rightout when he takes the boat against jMcDevitt.

COST OF STRIKES.MINERS IN N.S.W.

NEARLY £3,000,000 LOST.

From the beginning of 1919 to August1 last, the miners at the Newcastle andMaitland collieries lost £2,647,725 inwages, owing to strikes.

During that period the number ofstoppages was 1344; the number of dayslost 920 (or, approximately two yearseight months) ; and the total tonnagelost to the port, 4,985,945.

During the first seven months of thisyear alone, the wages lost totalled£1,238,631; the stoppages numbered 115;the days lost, 1892; and the tonnage lost2,138,864.

These facts were disclosed at theannual meeting of the Employers' Fed-eration. Referring to the matter in hispresidential address, the president of thefederation (Mr. James McMabon), said:"It is not difficult to calculate how manymines could have been purchased withthe enormous amount of money lost inwages by the miners. Had the minersdevoted an equal amount to the pur-chase of mines and worked them on aco-operative basis, no doubt the resultwould have been more remunerative thanworking for set wages and hours. As itis. the loss in tonnage and stoppage ofproduction must have a very seriouseffect on our coal exports and all thosesubsidiary interests denendent on coalproduction. If the miners can afford tolose this huge sum in less than.five yearsit is evident they are getting too highwages for what they produce. The coalindustry is beyond doubt the greaiestasset we have, and if produced to its fullextent it. would give work to 12,000 un-employed who to-day walk the street*,depending on the thrifty for charitablesupport."

THE MODERN DISEASE.

N-rvoutne.- Incraaaing with Civiliaatien.

Nervousness—neurasthenia —is de-clared by authorities to be on the in-crease. * The speed of life, the pace ofinvention, accelerate faster than ournerves can keep up with. Hence the pre-ralance of neurastenia among theapostles of the "Hurry" creed!

If your nerves are feeling the stress 'ofpresent-day living you should take"Vivific," the tonic herbal compound. Itwill "pick you up" almost at once.

Because it is purely herbal, "YivihV'—"Life-giving"—is easily assimilated. In-stead of "whipping the nerves" likedrugs, it feeds them. It does not liftyou up only to let you down; it buildspermanent strength. For this reasonmany doctors recommend "Vivific" freelyin "nervous" cases.

When combined with the external useof "Vivific" Ointment, "Vivific" is won-derfully effective in relieving Eczema;even widespread and thickly encrustedeczema sores being completely banished.

Sounds well, but it has oneimportant drawback—it isn't true.There is only one way a country canretain a monopoly of its home marketand that is by prohibiting ail exports.Thus if America takes advantage of the"free run" of the free trade market todump soods. she will in due course, andfrom somewhere, receive payment alsoin eoods. and to that extent will losethe monopoly of her local market.

SAMOA'S PROBLEMS.

ITO the Editor.)

Sir.—l have read with interest Mr. A.R. Cobcroft's version of the generalprosperity in Samoa, and I think I echothe true opinion of the population herewhen I entirely differ from him. Firstof all. Mr. Cobcroft speaks about thegeneral prosperity here, at a time whenevery planter is at his wits end how tocarry on. and the business houses arelosing heavily on account of the presentdepression, which, of course, is worldwide. How can Cobcroft say the countryis prosperous, except for those in officialpositions. It is well known that theCrown estates made a heavy loss lastyear, and for some years previous, mainlythrough inexperience. overstafling. andhigh salaries. We agree with hisremark- regarding General Richardson's jsympathetic efforts, and had he only the 'power, and were not hampered by XewZealand, we could look forward to a Imuch brighter future. Therefore Mr.Cobcroft must not give the Administra-tor credit for working out impossibili-ties. When we read the Hansard copyof the Xew Zealand Parliamentarydebates on Samoa, we fully recognise theignorance of the Xew- Zealand Parlia-mentarians regarding the island. TheAdministrator is the man on the spot,who is fully acquainted with the realsituation. Mr. Cobcroft goes on to state."A typical indication of the generalprosperity of the territory is providedby the Mulifanua plantation of which IMr. Cobcroft was manager. With 50labourers less than the number em-ployed by the German management, theplantation of 4211 acres of cocoanutslast year produced a crop of 1612 tons.This yield of 8581b to the acre exceedsall previous records for the plantation,even under -the German regime, by a;total of 200 tons." Mr. Cobcroft. in•boosting himself, omits to mention thatthe former German company (theID.H.P.G. i employed more labour, not ionly because it was cheap in those days,but every year they were falling, clearingand planting out 200 acres of new land.This land had to be kept clean andlooked out for till such times as theyoung cocoanut palms were high enoughto allow the cattle in to do the weeding.That in those days everything was keptin up-to-date order, the houses wellpainted, and in good repair, harness andwagons well looked after, and nothingwas in the deplorable state it is at pre-sent. The former owners not onlyplanted the extra yield of cocoanuts thathave come into bearing since, but inaddition had to make the roads and dothe fencing with the 50 or so extraboys- Since Xew Zealand took overthese plantations, even when everythingwas booming and copra was i45 a ton.and cocoa Leans £135 a ton, no extraland was planted, while there are manyformer fine plantations now wildernesses.Mr. Cobcroft. in praising the Adminis-tration, may consolidate his own posi-tion, but it is to the detriment of thepermanent settlers, by giving an erron-ous impression of the state of affairs here,and incidentally belittling the abilityof other planters. A fearless and candidopinion of the actual state of affairs inSamoa, will do more good for tbe coun-try, than attempts to gloss over theproblems that remain to be solved. Itmust not be lost sight of that everysettler here in Samoa is deeply inter-ested in the progress of the country, andwill do his level best to push the countryahead, but all are handicapped by thevapouring* of those in influential posi-tions. The real thing to be done at thepresent time while the world's marketfor tropical produce is so uncertain, isto economise and carry on as best wecan. But it is certainly not seemly.and creates a lot of irritation when thosewho are in receipt of a regular salary.which is not effected, whether the coun-try is prosperous or not. proclaim howprosperous we all are. at a time whenmost of the planters are at their witsends how to pay their labourers andcarry on. Many "planters are only keptgoing by business people, who are nearlyas badly off as themselves.—I am. etc..

J. LIDDELL KELLY. •WAIHI GRAND JUNCTION.

I(To the Editor.)

Sir,—As an old shareholder in theibove company, and taking a keen inter-est in the mininn industry generally, Ieallv cannot understand why this good>ld mine has been allowed to languish jjito its present state, and consequentlyleem it an opportune time for decisivejiction by it; shareholders to revivify jits former dividend-paying status. Thisnine fonnerK- produced an amount in j;old- approximating a pound per share in 1dividend* and there is no reason why itshould not be still productive of manyjiore pounds in dividends, providing aprogressive policy is brought to bear ontrhe position. It would appear to mc thatthe general management being so farremoved from the mine is inimical tothe mine's welfare and detrimental tothe shareholders" interests. Informationconcerning the mine is difficult to obtain.Iand the reticence of the London manage-ment is unsatisfactory. Shareholderssurely are entitled to more informationconcerning their interest in the Hohonusluicing claim acquired for £10,000 bythe directors without the sanction of theshareholders. As the majority of theshares are now held in New Zealand, Iconsider it only fair that a local boardof directors should control the position.It is quite apparent that the presentboard has lost the confidence of the ishareholders, the price of the shares onvhe market Ls surely evidence of that.Local shareholders have unbounded con-fidence in the mine. The low levelsshould be productive of good values asalso the western section of the mine. Ifthe company have not sufficient capitalto spare for the undertaking, then thewestern section should be floated into aseparate company for the benefit of theIshareholders. This important sectionshould not be left dormant. Knowing!the Grand Junction mine bounds thefamous Waihi mine on three sides sirelv jthe assumption that the continuityof the |reef system carries down into the Grand jJunction is based on a reasonable hypo-thesis. Worked on progressive lines the jmine should certainly become a highly|payable proposition.—I am. etc.,

THE CHURCH.

SIGNS OF REVIVAL

ASSOCIATION WITH MEDICINE.

(Br QUACK ) j

TJie Church is coming into its ownagain. If «>«" >■ ■ ''cvna! on thespiritual side: it tho people «.11 onceLTe rive heed to the "voices within. ,and if that is properly interpreted by theChurch; if there i-* a rewval ol theIsense of honour, if only ot the sense .0f common decency, nnd of common jfairness in commercial life (Rotary has;this is mind already): the country!will sain, ihe people will be healthierand happier, rogue* may reform, and it,is certain that L;.w and Medicine will jlose.

In placing Ihe professions in theirorder of important*, I have oftea. won- jdeied just how it flhould be done. ,Until!so many people B#t out 10 prove that jthey could live without religion I alwaysput the O'j.urch at. the head of the list, iFor the last twenty years it has seemedithat the Law stood first, for law, sup- jported by force, is the thing whichjmakes it possible for orderly life to[continue without, religion. The countryhas grown up leaning on the law.

In the days of Muses. Ten Command-ments were considered sufficient to con-trol a restless people, but the peopleappear to have made it necessary fortheir ruler to add over a hundred sub-sidiary laws. Probably the offencescame iirst and the law followed, to pre-vent repetition of the former. It isclear, then, that when the people of acountry are good and void of offences,few laws are required. It is no com-pliment to a country to point out theenormous number of its statutes, andthe crowded state of the legal profession,but Xew Zealand is so distinguished. Ifthe Church can convince the people thatit pays to be good—even if the paymentis deferred to another life, the lawyerswill not only be thinned out by lack ofemployment, but the survivors will be-come thin.

The Narrow Path.'•Taking up the cross" is no merepoetical ligurc of speech, for to runabsolutely straight whilst in competi-tion with those of unrestrained dis-honesty seems to invite disaster, in amaterial sense. You cannot serve God

and Mammon, but to settle* down to alife of sacrifice, and poverty; to Bravethe mistaken opinions of one's fellows,and to take no further sharp in thestruggle for place and profits, needscourage of a high order.

That heathenish but delightful poetFitzgerald (masquerading as the Per-sian, Omar) says, temptingly, "Oh. takethe cash, and let the credit go," andman, who suffers daily from the resultsof promises broken, hears the echo ofthis beyond the assurance, "All thingsneedful shall be addedunto you." Man'sinterpretation of "needful" 'may includea motor-car, and he wonders if a pro-mise now nearly two thousand yearsold can be stretched to cover anythingso modern! But if indeed we get agush of genuine goodness, a real separa-tion of sheep and goals, we must beprepared for an effort, quite as strong,on the part of "the opposition," toshow how superior is the reward of per-sonal guile and .shrewdness to,.the un-convincing "spiriti-al benefits" of thepurely honest. So the end of the lawyerswill not be yet.

For very many years the medical pro-fession has been satisfied to see theChurch step in only to bury Medicine'sfailures and mistakes. Now the Churchis openly taking a hand in somethingmore than that. Faith is the fee forrelief from disease—andperhaps, "volun-tary contribution." From what I knowof my own profession it will lose heavilyby the growth of faith and goodness.

Genuine v. Spurious.The medical missionary is the only

''healer" in a sound and firm position.He sees himself as God's agent whetherhe uses spiritual or material methods,and his goodness and knowledge com-bined should give him exceptional au-thority. General Gordon was , one ofGod's people—boldly and openly so—and a brave and accomplished soldier.There is no good and useful position inlife which is any the worse (apaTt pos-sibly from monetary gain) for being oc-cupied by f. Christian man, but thedoctors, ar, % class, have decided that aharmless i. lodern commercial weapon,viz., advert sement, is "unprofessional,"and the viregenerate, uneducated, un-scrupulous quack belabours the publicwith this furin of "suggestion" until theincome tax clerks read "First Aid forSchools," and think about "going in for"quack doctoring themselves.

Of all the horrors, the sham-Christian,sanctimonious, quack is the worst, andone of the difficulties of the newly-spiritual -vrill be to detect and avoidthe net spread for disappointed Hick-sonites. The medical missionary is, inhimself, tl.e doctor and the parson inconsultation, and, seeing this, the clergyhave already expressed a willingness tomeet the doctors.

Doctors of medicine are trained to dis-like mystery, except as a medical armintentionally used; and the clergy, todeal with mystery as a natural, normalfeature of life, to feel and see it every-where, and in everything; and logically,they are nearer truth than the doctors,for when science "reveals" a mysteryshe invariably uncovers another beyondit, and so ad infinitum. The origin ofthe germ which is shown to producedisease is as great a mystery as thedisease was before the germ was found.There is no actual getting back to thebeginning for finite minds. Surroundedby miracles in his daily work, and beingan instrument in their performancedaily, the doctor loses his sense ofwonder in this familiarity, for if inwhat is, to him, a normal sequence ofevents there intrudes an agentaltogether beyond explanation, he doubtshis senses, and the evidence of all otherpersons, and says: "This may convincethose of mental instability—may evendo them good—but as for mc, I will havenothing to do with it." It has hithertobeen customary for the Church to takeover the failures of Medicine. In thisstated attitude of the doctors (publiclydeclared) there is reason for reversingthe process. Let Medicine take on thefailures of the Church; let the rational-ist follow the spiritualist (not thespiritist) and see what he makes of theopportunity. I think the Church shoulddo all that is possible to set prayer,as a power for good, within range ofminds not groping for somethingdefinite.When is it right to pray?

THE SUPERIOR PERSON.

STRANGE NATIONALSPOKESMEN.

(By CYRANO.)

The laiest joke from America is this— that a publisher proposes to entrustIf. L. Mencken and (1. Nathan with theediting of a monthly review called the"American .Mercury,-' whose purpose itwill be to furnish "a, comprehensivepicture, critically presented, of theAmerican scene.-' The humour of thisproposal lies in the expressed opinionsof Messrs. Mencken and Nathai . The"Christian Science Monitor," havingread this interesting bit of news, tookup the book of Mr. Mencken that laynearest to hand, and came upon this:—

"And it is my fourth (and. to avoidtoo depressing a bill, linal) convic-tion that tbe American people, tak-ing one with another, constitute themost timorous, snivelling, poltroon-ish, ignominious mob of serfs andgoosesteppers ever gathered underone flag in Christendom since theend of the Middle Ages, and that theygrow more timorous, more snivelling,more poltroonish, more ignominiousevery day.-'Mr. Mencken finds the Government of

ihe United States "ignorant, incompe-tent, corrupt, and disgusting,-'its courts"stupid, dishonest, and against all rea-son and equity." and its foreign policy"hypocritical, disingenuous, knavish, anddishonourable." From these extracts,comments the "Monitor," it is clear thatthe publisher has chosen an editorunusually well qualified to representwhat he calls "the civilised minority"—with the emphasis on the "minority."

But Mr. Xathan is even better quali-fied to interpret a mighty nation. Hehas confessed that the great problemsof Hie world do not concern him in theslightest. "I do not care a tinker'sdamn whether Germany invades Bel-gium, or Belgium Germany, whetherIreland is free or not free, whether the■Stock Exchange is bombed or notbombed." He tells us without a signof a blush that on tho most critical dayof theGreat Warhe worked happily in his

Istudy composing a chapter on aesthe-I ties, apparently quite unconcerned aboutthe result of the lighting, and als6 thathe lives in America simply because

IAmerica is the most comfortable coun-Itry. Yet he is going to join anotherman. who can see no good whatever in

!America, in editing a paper that will■pretend to present the American scene.jWhat are the comments of such men|worth? What value lies in the views'of a man who is so selfish and "anti-social that he doesn't care a tinker'sdamn whether Germany invades Belgiumor Belgium Germany?

Intellectual Prigs.These men belong to the large class

iof Superior Persons, and to do the class| justice they are pretty low down in it.Indeed. I would put Mr. Nathan atthe bottom. Among Superior Persons

Ithere are many people with very lineIqualities. There is. for example, so|high-minded and able a man as Mr.Massingham, who made the English"Nation" the most brilliant weekly in

'Britain, if not in the English-speakingworld. Mr. JUassingham remarked jearly in the war that there was little ior no inducement- to enter-. |church or an English theatre. And Mr. IMiddleton Murry, a fine critic, writing Jin the week of victory, described him-self "wandering in disconsolate isola-tion among triumphing crowds," "aprey to subtle despair." Here you have,in men richly endowed, the characteris-tics of the Superior Person —intellectualand moral priggishness intoleranceand snobbishness. These men are cutoff from humanity, from the commoncrowd of men with their hopes andfears, likes and dislikes, and inextric-ably interwoven good and evil. Mr.Massingham would have been a betterman for entering the nearest churchand joining these common people in]prayer and praise. Mr. Murry wouldhave been a better man for surrender-1ing to the general expression of thank-fulness for victory.

Contemptuous Cliques.The tribe is scattered over the world

and is rich in variety. It includes num-bers of little cliques whose membersthink "suburban" is the last word ofreproach; despise local and generalpolitics (though they arc not backwardin complaining about the state of theroads); consider that civilisation con-sists of art and nothing else, and be-lieve themselves highly ■artistic when

/often they are only "arty"; and thor-oughly despise the mass of mankind.If it were not for people like these,Menckens and Nathans could not exist."Bourgeois," "Victorian," "the herdmind" arc favourite terms of condemna-tion 'in these circles. There was atouch of the school in a criticism thatappeared in the "Nation" (in spite ofits change of ownership, and direction)the other day. Criticising the plays ofthe late St. John Hankin and the playsof A. A. Milne, the critic was somewhatcontemptuous of the living dramatist,and saw little hope for the regenerationof British drama so long as "the generaltaste of the middle-class public" re-mained "deplorable." "At present," hecontinued, with a choice display of prig-gishness, "the people who fill the stalls

Iare the people who read "Punch.' Theyhave never heard of St. .Tolin Hankin."To mc. a lover of "Punch," which to raymind is worth a wilderness to Hankins—nifted though Hankins was—this wasoffensive and challenging, so 1 rejoicedwhen the editor of "Punch" replied witha thrust that went clean through thedefence. "I do not pretend to discussyour critic's view that Mr. Milne'scomedies are inferior to those of St.John Hankin," wrote Sir Owen Seaman,"but when he implies that this inferiority-should be ascribed, in part, to thosedefects in Mr. Milne's work which be-tray the taint of 'Punch,' I cannot thinkthat he is greatly fortified by the fact,of which he would seem to be ignorant,jthat it was in 'Punch' that St. JohnHankin, like Mr. Milne, won his literary

I reputation." Exit Hamlet, dragging outPolonius.

" The Common Touch."j Let us all pray for brains, but let!us add a petition to be delivered from

the sins of intellectual pride and intoler-ance and to be allowed to keep always

\ "the common touch." Have you everread that powerful indictment, in theform of fiction, of modern industrialism,-No. 5 John Street?" Well, its author,Mr. Richard Whiteing, at the end of hislong life, can goto llanipsteadHeath andrejoice at the improvement in taste andmanners that has come about in recenttimes. He does not lament that theseholiday-makers are not crowded into arepertory theatre or are not bendinggloomy brows over Dostoievsky. It isenough for him that they are having apleasant day out of doors. Some onefainted over there? A superior Person,

I of course.

THE HIGHWAY OF VENICE.

Visitors from all over the world, Britons and Americans in particular, ore attracted to Venice by the charm of the old city itself, with itsinnumerable waterways, and the excellent bathing at the Lido. This striking photograph is of the Grand Canal, and the gondolas, the onlymeans of transport, provide a picturesque contrast to the motor driven vehicles which fill the streets of ordinary cities. This photograph

was taken at the time of the annual regatta, one of the great attractions of the season. —"Central Press" photo.

OLD WORLD CITIES.IMPRESSIONS OF HISTORIC

TOWNS.ROUND ABOUT NAPLES.

(By G. CRAIG.)

NO. I. IAbove all others is Naples a city ot

the people—there may be aristocrats,there must be society, but one sees onlythe populace. Whether in the' resorts ofSantaLucia, or in the stalls of the Opera,one is always amidst them; nor areIthey distasteful, for, -af all Italians be.gay, none are gayerihan the Xcapolf-jtans, none more friendly or more care-free. . The urchins of Paris arc out-urcbined here, and if there be no divid-ing line between rags and respectability,the rags are never drab, and the respec-tability never dull. The sanitation of thetown, once of an aroma sufficient to con-vert the phrase "see Naples and die"into a less aesthetic injunction, is nolonger a reproach (by Continental stan-dards), and the main streets are videand well-paved. Indeed, the revolutionof Mussolini was celebrated there bya relaying of many roads which madejthem for a while as impassable as Lon-don in August during its annual over-haul. These paving stones 'ire solidthings, too, and after the heart-breaking(and spring-racking) little cobbles of theFrench and Belgian pave, their sizeof two feet by one, or thereabouts, makesthe roadway look like a wall laid on itsside.

The life of the city centres round theGalleria Cmberto, a great arcade on tbeplan of a cross, filled day and night by acirculating throng of the people, for allNeapolitan meetings or partings se=m tooccur beneath the central dome. Aroundthe ground-floor are smart shops andrestaurants, with two or three impro-vised picture shows, and in the vastbasement lurk cabarets, whose varyingdegrees of indelicacy are approachedfrom confidential side doors. Of its fourlofty exits, one faces the massive pile oftbe Royal San Carlo Opera House, itselfa mere annexe to the former royal palace*and another enters theVia Roma, theOxford street of Naples. . Along itsgrimy narrowness the crowds arethreaded astonishingly by motor-busesaud red taxis, whose drivers, by somerecurring miracle, escape taking thecharmed lives of the jostling wayfarers.No Italian hurries unless driving a car,when he makes up for all arrears, andalthough in a North-American city ofIbroad streets and ingenious traffic regu-lation one may see a racing ambulancealmost daily, here they never appear.But perhaps it is premature to conclude

'from this that accidents never happen—| very likely the light-hearted Latinsimply deposits his victim in a chemist'sshop and dashes on.

Streets of Stairs.From the Via Roma a dozen streets

of stairs climb the hill for a quarterof a mile to San Martino, and thesedim shadowy canyons ten feet wide, aretilled by tile poorest folk whose longoverdue washing hangs line above lineacross the crevice between their tower-ing tenements. Out of the upperwindows a traffic of baskets lowered onlong cords keeps open communicationwith the world below. Every domesticincident occurs in these reeking lanes,down whose obscene steps the strangeris wise to pass only by day. and afterdark the mouth of each is haunted byfurtive beings who would entice theunwary to "something very special."

Without the dignity of Florence, thevitality of Milan or the perfection ofVenice". Naples is like an ugeing primadonna worn by a long life of romance,wearied by many conquests and at herbest wheuseen by candlelight; but whenthe fates are willing, she still can capti-vate. Avoid by all means the tawdrychurches and the vaunted aquarium;ignore the palace and the basilica, butadmit that the CaraColo is magnificent.Here the curving carriage-way embankedalong the bay, is flanked by a longplantation, and again by a tan trackwhere the showiest horsemen of Europedisplay their dazzling uniforms andprancing horses before many an admir-ing eye. Rotten Row can show nothinglike this. The bay glitters in the sun-shine, the grim old castle of Parthenope

rises out of the surge to challenge thegaiety of the showy gardens, and overthe water the fatal breath of Vesuviusmounts into the still air. This is alwaysthe outstanding feature of the scene,and the fumes of the volcano share thehundred moods of the day; the play-thing of sun and wind, this cloud may-be now a silver plume floating clear ofthe high cone, or again a low blackbank hanging sullenly in the sky.

The city has been ravished in turn byRoman and Goth, by Spanish. Frenchand Austrian, and every age has leftits label upon the city, from the tombof Virgil like a little heathen templehigh upon the hill, to the so-calledPalace of Queen Joan, erected by aSpanish viceroy who left it incompleteand windowless to gape vacantly at thewater's edge. But the real beauty ofNaples lies in its surroundings. Notone or two. but a score of bays andhills and villages are scattered aroundit from Amalfi on one side to theSolfatara geyser on the other, and fromthe summit of Vesuvius one overlooksa prospect beginning with the series ofbrick walls put up to stop past lavastreams, and closing with the panoramaof sea and sky long behind the isle oflsehia. On a clear day the villages fardown the slopes, nestling in theircrowded acres of vineyard, seem wrappedin an eternal peace, while a few yardsbehind one's back the guttural rumblingof the crater is on all unheeded warning—the murmur of a monster who wouldarticulate, but cannot. High above thetown from the central gallery of theimmense natural amphitheatre, the viewis only a degree less grand, and in thenight the silvery sheen of the sea en-wraps the feet of the mountain upwhose flank the flickering lights of therack railway shine like the bright

jbuttons on the coat of darkness worn| by the slumbering colossus. But on! moonless wights when the sea is dead,\ it lies helplessly between the long low! arm of Possillippo and the greatI shoulder of the volcano, while the darkiv.iiuleback of Capri rising in the middlejof the bay. seems to guard the city fromi the black menace of the mountain.

A Spirit or Taihoa.To stay too long round Naples is to

I become inert, with the inertia of the]Neapolitan, to whom to-morrow is asI good as to-day, and next week as good'as to-morrow; to linger in this world of; picturesque landscapes and placid seas; is to take on the carelessness of itsi inhabitants, for surely no skies can bejso blue, as these, no isles so blest, noipeople so happy. There is a danger injits contemplation. Aud every littleJvillage has its cool cafe, every hill itsjvine-shaded piazza where to halt is tojsit, and there to dream away an hour.jChildren gather in the hope of smalljchange, only to be chivied away by theipoliceman, who rouses himself just suffi-I ciently to survey the scene for a. thousandth time with a sweep of thehand and a deep-throated "Bellissiina!"

1translated by his gesture, and rightlyI construed by the visitor to include aIreference to the heat of the day as wellas to the beauty of the view.

So all Naples lives for the moment.To it there is no future, and the past isdead. The fisherman with his red bonnetcarries in his basket all his worldlygoods; tbe laundress, bearing on herhead the hotel linen, sun-dried on theslopes of the Voniero, has only her day'swage between her and the street; thefruit-seller will fast if his trade prosperjnot, and tbat youth who eyes thopassers-by with a half-audacious look

I may go hungry unless ho pick a tourist!ipocket. Street vendors throng allI Italian cities, but here are more than in|all the others, and it is almost worthone's while to be robbed a little (at thejpresent rate of exchange) to see thefaces of a whole family beaming upon| the spoils of the Inglese signor.i In self-defence it is necessary to see! some of the orthodox sights, and evenlif these are in general dull affairs it isI worth while to visit tbe museum ofjNaples, where is lodged the greatestcollection of sculpture in the world.jFrom the lean ascetic faces of the early; Romans to the fleshy rulers of theideclining Empire, one may follow from; room to room the decay alike of the! art and of the type. And there amongjthose heavy-jowled voluptuaries may be: seen the most fascinating sight of alljthe relics of Napoli and Pompeii—theportrait statue of a man unmistakably

| Scandinavian, but robed in the RomanI toga, and with a look of sadness upon: his lace. Was he a hostage held from aconquered Northern State, or a captive

! freed only to become a citizen in exile.:or wa-; he just a renegade-; Nor is therea word to show how he attained thisforeign dignity. Even a museum canhave a human touch—in Italy.

ACROSS THE SAHARA BY MOTOR.

When four French desert-travellingtrucks made their way across the vaststretches of ihe far-famed Desert ofSahara during the closing days of 1022they accomplished what ultimately maymean the construction of well-markedhighways across- the areas a!o;ig whichtrains of heavy commercial trucks mayrun on schedule. The camel, the age-old ship of the desert, may be displacedby the swifter; greater < load-carryingmachines which travelled as far as 110miles a day at some stages of the trip.

The epoch-making journey was madeby M. Hardt, a director of the Citroenautomobile works in France; M. Dltnricl,a representative of the French Air Minis-try, who conceived the idea; a photo-grapher and observer; and fourmechanics. Just twenty-one days wererequired by the party to traverse theroute shown on the map, which hithertohas required not less than three monthsby caravan. The expedition carried food,water and oil, and in addition sparemotor parts and weapons for protectionagainst raiders.

Across the rocky plateau of Hoggar,the sturdy trucks pushed their way overthe boulder-strewn path and throughTanzeruft, Hie "land of thirst." until,without mishap, they reached Timbuktu.

TOM BOWLING'S OLD |,COMMAND. J

i'SHIP THAT WEATHERED J

HEAVY GAEES. j |

AND AT LAST WENT MISSING.

(By HENRY BRETT.)

LXIH. ;During the year 18T4 the celebrated >

builder Robert Duncan built six remark-ably fine ships—the Invercargill. Auck-land, Wellington, Canterbury. Nelson,and Dunedin—to the order of PatrickHenderson, for the New Zealand trade.They were all launched within sixmonths, nnd the tonnage (I20.">), length.beam and depth were about the same.These ships were fitted up with everymotlern convenience and comfort forfirst-class passengers and immigrants.They all sailed under the Albion Com-pany's flag until the Albion and ShawSavill Companies amalgamated, andthey were some of the fastest sailersafloat.

The Invercargill made her_ maidenvoyage to Otago in command of CaptainTi'llv. Leaving Glasgow with ."(90 pas-sengers on July Hi/ 187-1. she sightedCape Saunders on October 12, andanchored at Port Chalmers on October1-1 after an uneventful passage of 00days port to port. The following yearthe ship, under Captain Peacock, madeithe passage in exactly the same number|of days. On her return to EnglandCaptain Muir. one of the most capablemen afloat, was given command.

As the Invercargill usually carriedfrom 300 to 400 passengers, CaptainMuir did not usually go so far south assome other skippers when running downhis easting, as he preferred to study thecomfort of his passengers, but he mademany excellent runs, and on one occa-sion arrived at Port Chalmers in 79 daysfrom the London docks, or 70 days landto land. Captain Muir ran the ship fornearly twenty years, and never met withany serious accident.

Under Tom Bowling.In 1892 Captain Tom Bowling, who

had been in the service of the Shaw.SavillCompany for many years, in com-mand of the Akaroa and other ships.relieved Captain Muir. Captain Bowlingwas a fearless and experienced sailor.He had the reputation of carrying on.but not recklessly, when opportunity;otl'ered. He remained in the ship untilshe was sold in 1905 to Norway, andmade some excellent runs out and home.At this time he had been 50 years at sea,and eventually came out to the Domi-nion and settled down at Christchurch,where he is still living, and enjoyingfairly good health. The "Otago DailyTimes," referring to the Invercargill'sarrival at Port Chalmers in 1892, statedthe whole passage from London docksoccupied 90 days, but considering theship was detained in the English Channelby heavy gales for 14 days, the passage

was a remarkably good one. only 79:days having elapsed from anchorage to janchorage. ' She sighted the Snares on jher seventy-sixth day out.

Washed Overboard.Captain Bowling had a rather tedious:

and anxious time during the passage|home in 1901 (Ihe year of King Edward'scoronation). The ship experienced very,light northerly winds alter leaving the

coast, and took 03 days to Cape Horn.;where she struck a furious gale, duringjwhich she broached to, and heavy seasbroke on board, doing great damage.

When off Birdwood Bank, iv thevicinity of the Falkland Islands, theship experienced another heavy gale,during which the second officer waswashed overboard and drowned. On thisoccasion the ship had been 100 days outwhen she reached the Channel. Fearswere entertained that she had been lost,and she was reinsured at high rates.

A Stormy Voyage.The biggest gale of Captain Bowling's

experience, writes Mr. Basil Lubbock, inhis book "Colonial Clippers." was in1904. The ship sailed from Sydney onAugust 27, loaded with wheat forQueenstown. Caught in a tape Hornsnorter, her cargo'shifted to port, herport bulwarks were carried away, andfor some time she lay on her beam ends.Eventually she righted and continuedher passage, but on December S. in theAtlantic, "slit; again ran into heavyweather, during which a huge mountainof water broke over the port quarterand swept the decks the whole length!of her. The water flooded below, break- jing into the saloon aud cabins, the s:-.il ilocker, the lazarettc. and even into I lie i'tween decks; the companion hatch onthe poop was carried away, ami alongwith it wont both compasses, stands.and binnacles, side lights and screens.the patent log from the taffrail—in fact.pretty nearly everything on the decksexcept the wheel.

All hands worked hard in bailing on.the water from below, which was up toone's waist in the cabin. During thenight the ship was rolling heavily as sheran before the gale. Early the nextmorning a. big sea washed out tin' car-penter's quarters, and "(hip.-." under tne,impression that the ship was -inking |by "the head, made the best of his way1aft. Captain Bowling and i.is officers Jwere all below clearing up ih" wreckedcabin. The carpenter thereupon in-,formed the man al the wheel of his tear-.

with the re-nlt Unit the latter bad anattack of nerves, though' he run-ning the ship under, and allowed her tojcome-to.| On Her Beam Ends.I As the ship broached to. the cargo'again shifted, and tiie Invercargill went |!over on her beam end--. .Many of '.lie:sails blew adrift, and the lifeboat was!

swept away. Then, when the ship lay-down with"her lee foreyard arm dippedOft into the broken water, the seasworked havoc on the flooded main deck.Daylight disclosed that nearly every-thing had been washed overboard. Allthat day and the next night the shiplay like* a log with her lee rail burieddeep and her main der-k full of water.On the morning of the 10th, when thewind dropped, cargo was jettisoned tobring the ship on an even keel, and atlast she was got away on her course.

Saved the Ship.The next difficulty was making a

landfall without a reliable compass, asonly an old compass which had not beenadjusted was available. In spite of alarge allowance made for his defectivecompass, Captain Bowling found himselfnearly ashore amongst the Scilly Isles,but his fine seamanship, says Mr. Lub-bock, saved the vessel, and on December18 he brought her safely into Queens-town. 113 days from Sydney.

The ship was towed round to theClyde and repaired. She was sold toNorway in 1900. and left Glasgow for( liristianiato load lumber forMelbourne,but she never reached her destination.She left the Clyde on February 20 with

Ia part cargo of coal, and the generalopinion was that she had capsized andsunk, as it was thought in Glasgow thatshe had not sufficient ballast for a winterpassage. Before, sailing the ship wasrenamed the Verg.

I The'Antares, a bartpue of S2l tons,i chartered by the rihaw, Savill Co., madelseveral voyages to Auckland, and occa-i sionallv visited Wellington and Dun-! edin. 'she was an old vessel, and never! made any fast passages^

On the voyage out to Auckland in ISS2; Captain Lewis reported having encoun-i tered two very severegales after passing! the 7.")th degree of east longitude, duringiwhich the Aurora Australis was extra-ordinarily vivid, extending far north of

the zenith like full, flickering flames.Oil another passage to Auckland in

1594 the ship left Sharpness on 20thFebruary, heavily laden. She had a fairlygood run until'dune 0, when she washovc-to for 48 hours under the lowermain topsail during a terrific gale,accompanied by mountainous seas, withthunder and lightning. During the stormseas broke over the ship, sweepingeverything off the decks and causinggreat damage.

On another occasion, in 1*79. theAntares sailed from London for Dunedin,and had a very severe buffeting in theChannel, during which she suffered con-siderable damage, and was compelled toput into Dungenness for repairs.

PROF. JTTLIAN HUXLEY QUOTEFROM THE PSALMS.

An incident at a meeting of thZoology Section of the British Associntion (says a correspondent of the "British Weekly") has not received publinotice. Professor Julian Huxley, ibeginning his lecture on "The Physiology of the Development of the Frog,said that he would give as the text fohis address the words of the Psalmist"In Thy book all my members werwritten . . . when as yet there was nonof them" (Ps. cxxxix. 16). "That." hsaid, "was true of the frog," and hilecture wasa splendid illustration of thwonder and mystery of that creatureIt is a fine thing that one of our modenyoung scientists can speak to a BritisjAssociation audience with Bible wordas introduction.

Professor Julian Huxley is a grandsoiof Thomas Henry Huxley, the famounineteenth century scientist amagnostic.

METHODIST REUNION.The Wesleyan Methodist Conferenc

at Bristol had an important discussioion Methodist Union. The report of thCommittee of Inquiry, which recommended the continuance of negotiationand the submission of the conclusion:to the Conference next year, was adopted by 254 to 111 votes. "The Rev. AldonFrench (London), who moved the adoption of the report of the Committeesaid there had been a large majority otheir courts in favour of union, a large:majority for continuance of negotiationsand an important minority not prepareeto accept the proposal. "It is incredible," he said, "that the Christian Churclis going to settle this issue one way o:the other by force, and that being sothe proper course to take is to acdeliberately, and not to rush the dcci6ion.

occasionally by reference to whatScience has done in this or that spirituarespect (says "Aye Maria"), may finemuch of comfort in the words of Professor Dr. Plate, the eminent Germanbiologist, who succeeded to the chair oiZoology at the University of Jena, for-merly occupied by Ernst HaeckeL "Th*Natural Sciences," he declares, "con-front all ultimate problems hopelessly.They can do no more than register factsand phenomena in their mutual depen-dencies, and are powerless to reveal thefirst ca,use of being and becoming."Again, writing on the philosophy of life,Dr. Plate does not hesitate to say:"There is profound wisdom in the olddictum that religion must be preservedamong the people. A nation withoutreligion will, sooner or later, inevitablysuccumb to inward corruption; no merelyethical training is sufficient. I trustthat I have shown how the battle wagedby materialists against the fundamentalprinciples of Christianity gains no sup-port from the findings of Naturalscience."

An eloquent tribute to the influence olthe Bible in the world is given in "TheBook that Stands Up to Life,"' byThomas Tiplady (Religious Tract Soci-ety). The wTiter touches upon theauthorship of this sacred book, its influ-ence as a means of culture, and uponEnglish literature. John Richard Greendeclared that "the English version ofthe Bible remains the noblest exampleof the English tongue—the standard ofour language." Heine said ho .owedmuch to the jjible, "the shipwreckedmetaphysician clings fast to tilie Bible."It was the charter of human freedom.Ruskin made the sacred volume hisstandard of literary taste. In present-ing the literary aide of the scriptures aswell as its value to humanity as a fountof religious truth, the author has done auseful serviceat a time when Bible read-ing has declined among people of allclasses, and been banished from thenational schools.

The death is announced of MissArnold, a sister of Matthew Arnold andfor many years past the only survivor ofthe nine children of the great headmasterof Rugby. She was in her ninetiethyear, and she died, as Bhe had been born,in the pleasant fell-side house of FoxHow, at Ambleside, where her fatherfound a eecludcd vacation home in abeautiful recess among the hills thatstand round the hoad of Windermere.For successive generations ,of her family,so many members of which were toachieve distinction, she made her housea much treasured centre and place ofrest, following with eager interest alltheir doings and fortunes. One of hernieces was Mrs. Humphrey Ward; anephew, the lato W. T. Arnold, was oneof the most powerful of the influencesthat have moulded the "ManchesterGuardian"; anothernephew, the late H.0. Arnold-Forster, was a member of atleast one Cabinet before his prematuredeath. Miss Arnold's was one of thoselives which may leave littleor no definiteand describable deposits, but yet have awidely pervasive influence, and in hercase it was an influence wholly liberal,genial and generous.

Mr. W. J. Locke stands in the frontrank of present-day novelists as thecreator of personalities outside therange of general experience—uncommon,yet conceivable as men and women whoare represented in' the realities of life.Moordius and Co. (The Bodley Head,per Dymock, Sydney) introduces such acharacter in the suave, accomplishedParisian banker, fascinating to the fairsex, an able financier, and yet a recklessgambler, cruel and sensual. The passions which are concealed beneath hisattractive exterior are those of a fiendabsolutely loathsome; and yet his coreeiis one that does not outrage our sensiof the possible in human psychology. Ircontrast, no better type could have beerput forward than the clean, loyal ain<]single-minded accountant, who falls fena time into the toils of Moordius butdefeats him in the end by transparenthonesty and steadfastness of purposeThe women of the story belong to typesnot nearly so convincing; nevertheless iiis quite conceivable, thougih hardlyprobable, that a woman of exceptionaldiscernment and strength of will shouldhave become so completely hypnotisedby the flattering attentions of a. mantwice her age as to close her eyes tovices which he did not attempt to con-ceal, and throw herself a-nd her fortuneat 'his feet wliile treating with scornand contumely a friend of proved trust-worthiness who strives to save her fromdestruction.

A reliable text-book on innkeepingI will, one may believe, appeal to a verylarge body of clients in all parts of theworld. This, Mr. Part, founder andfor eighteen years manager of TrustHouses, Ltd., of Great Britain, hasendeavoured to supply in "The Art andPractice of Innkeeping" (Heinemann).Out of his vastexperience inmany partsof the world, Mr. Part endeavours toinstruct hotelkeepers on such importanttrade matters as the Licensing law,general catering and catering for largeparties, the staff and their duties, thescienceiPbf economical purchasing, theupkeep, planning and equipment of thehouse, the cellars, bars and buffets,stocktaking, and bookkeeping, witha number of useful hints on thesubject of sidelines. The index andcross-index have been so skilfully andfully made that every topic and sub-topic treated in the volume can bereferred to without a moment's hesita-tion or delay. Railway catering, pas-senger ship, club and canteen cateringare also dealt with, and the sound prac-tical counsel which the author has forthose who are called upon to cater forJlarge numbers at short notice will be ofparticular value to those whoare associ-ated with the management of golf andother clubs. A specially interesting andhelpful chapter on "Tenancy versusManagement" contains a number of sug-gestions .about the management ofhouses.

MESOPOTAMIA AND PALESTINE.The position in which Britain has

been placed by after-war events in rela-tion to Mesopotamia, Palestine, andSyria, has led to a good deal of con-troversy. A better understanding of thefacts is the aim of a book byMr. J. deV. Loder, which George Allen and Unwinpublish. Mr. Loder is specially qualifiedfor his task by regimental service at theDardanelles and in Egypt, and two yearsspent in the Political IntelligenceDepartment of the- Egyptian Expeditionary Force, with subsequent experi-[ ence in the Eastern Department of theforeign Office. His aim is to present anunbiased statement of the case, un-affected by personal opinions. But it isinevitable that even an impartialenumeration of the facts will point tosome definite conclusion. This is thecase with respect to Zionism, and whenwriting a foreword, Lord Robert Cecilconsiders it necessary to dissent fromMr. Loder's adverse view, and to expresshis own opinion that tho Arab State hasno ground for complaint, because therecognition of a Jewish national home inPalestine was part of tho terms onwhich the Arab State was brought intoexistence. The author, however, presentsthe Arab case with considerable force.At the same time, in an appendix, hepublishes a paper by Mr. Leonard Stein,giving the history and aims of Zionismfrom the Zionist point of view. Thebook possesses historical value in aspecial measuro through the publicationin its pages of the most important inter-national agreements, etc., relating tothe mandated territories.

A TERRACE IN PRAGUE.The vigorous development of the newrepublic oif Czecho-Slovakia has directedattention to its ancient capital, Pra<*ue,where the stirring of industrial andcommercial life is changing thecharacterof one of the most interesting of Euro-pean medieval cities. Lieut.-Col. B.Granville Baker's book, "From aTerracein Prague," appearH therefore oppor-

tunely,but his view is chiefly a. look back-ward rather than forward into the for-tunes of Bohemia »nd its capital. Itwasa romantic past. The old terrace fromwhich the author looks out on the city,he tells us, "has witnessed many terrible'scenes, fire and slaughter and religiousstrife, but it has also seen more thatis enobling and inspiring. In its strengththis terrace has supported those whopassed their days upon it, imbuing them,and those who live there yet. with theserenity that comes oa" a faith built ,ona sure foundation. This terrace is abridge to the "Abiding City."

The ancient city itself makes a strongappeal to lovers of the beautiful, abeauty which is reflected in the excellentcoloured plntes and the etchings whichillustrate this book. "In the fifteenthcentury Aneas Silvius, afterwards PopePius 11., came this way, and describedPrague as the "Queen of Towns." ThenGoethe, whose glowing pen could addcolour to the vibrant beauty of Italianlandscape, writes of Prague as "the mostprecious jewel in the mural crown ofthis' earth!" Another German, Alexan-der yon Humboldt, gives to Praguefourth place among the world's beautifulcities. Rodin considered Prague as the"Rome of theNorth!" Colonel Baker re-calls a brilliant array of men and womenwho have contributed to the glory ofthe city, and he closes with the notethat "the destinies of Prague are in thehands of a sovereign people; it is theirsto make or mar them."

THE OLD FRONTIER.STORY OF THE WAIPA VALLEY.

Mr. James Cowan, F.R.G.S., has mademany important contributions to New-Zealand history, especially in respect tothe relations existing between Euro-peans and the Maori, with whose lan-guage, traditions and modes of thoughtMr. Cowan has been familiar from hisearliest years, and upon whichhe speakswith authority. His boyhood was spenton the borders of the King Country,and in his latest book, "The Old Fron-tier," he describes with enthusiasm thefertile and picturesque districts lyingonthe north sido of tho Punui and theeast side of the Waipa River—"thegently rolling lie of the land, with itscountless sheltered valleys and its wellBunned slopes, with its leisurely windinjstreams, with here and there a smallake; tho old Maori garden lands oTe Awamutu, Rangiaowhia, Kihikihi antO.rakau." The distant hills, "the fablue hills of boyhood," enhance thecharm.

It is of this country, and its stirrinjhistorical associations that Mr. Cowaiwrites in "The Old Frontier." He tellus that "the ancient Maori story of thiWaipa plains and downs, as preserverby the word-of-mouth historians, th<old men of the tribes, is a record olland-seeking exploration and placenaming by the chiefs who came in th<Tainui canoe, and by Rakataura, tinpriest; then a succession of tribal feudsand wars, raids, pa-buildings and pastormings, ambush, massacre, slavetaking and man-eating."

Mr. Cowan touches upon this periocand the legends connected with it, butthe main theme of his book is the history of the district after tbe whiteman came upon the scene. Mr. B. V,Ashwell established a mission station atTe Awamutu in 1839, but it was MrAshwell's successor, the Rev. John Mor-gan, who truly civilised the Upper Wai-kato. He supplemented his religiousteaching with instruction in Englishmethods of agriculture, brought in Eng-lish fruit trees, taught the natives togrow wheat and grind it in their owncorn-mills. In 1850, the wheat fields ofRangiaowhia comprised an area of 400acres, and the natives possessed hun-dreds of fruit trees budded, or graftedby themselves. From 1845 to 1860was agolden age for the Waikato and Ngati-Maniapoto tribes, which was only dis-turbed by the Taranaki War, the fore-runner oif the war in the Waikato.

The election of the aged chief Potataute Wherowhero as Maori king, in 1858,was not, in the beginning, hostile to thewhite Government. Mr. Cowan narratesthe origin of the movement, and shewshow it ultimately led to a conflict be-tween the races. His book is princi-pally devoted to the military operationsin the frontier districts of Waikato,commencing with the arrival of thetroops at Te Awamutu and the captureof Rangiaowhia, the invasion of Kihi-kihi, and the battle or Orakau, (famousin the history of the Maori War, whichbrought the Waikato campaign to anend. A spirited account is given of thelast great fight, and Mr. Cowan describespioneer life on the frontier which fol-lowed thecollapse of the Maori rebellionIt is a story which settlers who enjoythe piping times of peace will no doubtread with intense interest. The book iswell illustrated.

The Yak, specimens of which are com-ing to our Zoo, is one of the strangestmembers of the genus ox. It hates theheat and loves the cold, roaming in sum-mer time at altitudes up <o 20,000 feet,so I wonder how it is going to faro inan Auckland January. As a utilityanimal it ranks high, for Tibetans notonly use its milk and flesh, but workit as a beast of burden, and one of themost interesting illustrations in thatfascinating book of war adventure, Cap-tain Blackcr's "On High Patrol In Cen-tral Asia," depicts a soldier of that verycrack Indian regiment the Queen's OwnCorps of Guides, mounted on one of theseungainly beasts—a sight calculated togive an orthodox cavalry man strongshudders.

I have been thinking about the ideamentioned last week of a Rotary Clubfor women. I presume it would beorganised on lines similar to those of themen's club, where membership is re-stricted to one representative from eachindustry or profession. There would beone Rotarian from the typistes, one fromthe tailoresses, one from the teachers,one from the waitresses, one from theactresses, one from the charwomen, onefrom the leaders of Remuera society (acalling that may be ranked both as anindustry and a profession), and so on.It is a capital idea. For, whatever men'sRotary may be, it is not snobbish. Themillionaire director of a financial institu-tion is quite happy sitting beside amanufacturer who makes a paltry thou-sand a year. Women's Rotary, therefore,would help to smooth out class distinc-tions and to demonstrate that, in theclassic words of Mr. Kipling, "The Col-onel's lady and Judy O'Grady are sistersunder their skins." Besides, it wouldhelp to create tbat spirit of optimismthat is so necessary to prosperity andprogress. A woman who had been unde-cided whether to buy a costume at tenguineas or one at twenty could not help,after experiencing the uplift of a Rotarylunch, taking the more expensive one. Ipresent this suggestion to the drapersfree.

The Countess of Warwick, who is aLabour candidate for Parliament, ap-pearedon the platform for her first meet-ing wearing "a frock of black satintrimmed with fur, long diamond ear-rings, a hat of black panne with jetornaments, and" black shoes with redheels." Why shouldn't she? Is theLabour party going to say that because jit preaches Socialism there shall be nomore cakes and ale in the way of dress?I know it will seem inconsistent to somethat a woman should preach Socialismin adornments that would supply mealsto quite an army of hungry children, butI must say Socialism would have addi-tional terrors for mc if I thought therewas to be no' individuality in attire.There are excellent precedents for thelady's refusal to take the platform in:sackcloth, though I have no doubt that jshe would have looked charming in thatmaterial. I have seen pictures of Mrs. ,Phillip Snowden which do not indicate ithat she picks up her dinner gowns in abargain scramble, and she confesses to an iappreciation of a well provided table. 'And when Mr. Ramsay MacDonald dinedat Buckingham Palace, I take it that hewore a dress suit, which can hardly beclassed as an absolute necessity. Also,when the Russian delegation appearedat Geneva M. Tchitcherin sported ahighly bourgeois high hat, and the ladiesof the staff were elegantly dressed.

Two points, says the "London DailyTelegraph," in discussing the theatricalseason, seem to bo well attested—first,thatcontemporary audiences prefer light \dramatic fare, and show no particular rdiscernment in their preferences; and, <jsecondly, that the occasional importa- rtion of the drama which is called "high-brow" is by no means to the taste°of bthe ordinary playgoer. Two interesting splays from Czecho-Slovakia have had a nsucces d'estime. The piece, entitled a"R. U.

They aroused a cer- htain amount of interest, but the interest dsoon died down, and the experiment as osuch, however significant to thethought- bful student of drama, failed to attract bthe average kind of theatregoer who de- pcides the success or failure of plays. «" li

ANECDOTES AND STORIES.HOLIDAYS HORRORS.

There is ■ something of "HelenBabies" in all healthy childhood, whiedear old William Wordsworth left otof what a schoolboy called his "Imit;tions of Immorality."

That something cropped up duringsolemn inspection of Canterbury Cathidral the other day. Father and mothewere content to gaze in reverent awon the historic monuments, but thchildren wanted something to move.

"Daddy," at length exclaimed MieFidgett, "come along; I want to seBeckett murdered."

THE G.OJtt.It was Mr. Chamberlain who told MlChauneery Depew, the famous Americar

that in a critical debate in the Housof Commons, when the Government wain danger, Mr. Gladstone, who aloncould save the situation, suddenly disappeared. Every known resort of hiwas searched to find him. Mr. Chamberlain, recollecting Mr. Gladstone's interesin a certain subject, drove to the hous.of the lady miose authority on tliasubject Mr. Gladstone highly respectedHe found him submitting to the lady fo:her criticism and correction some oWatts' hymns, which he had translatetinto Italian.

" AWKINS OF 'ITCHIN."When the famous English judge, Si

Henry Hawkins, was to be raised to tinleerage there was a more or less in'ormal gathering of relations at the exiudge's house to discuss the importan?luestion as to what title he shoukissume. His own inclination was t(. keep his name—the name which he hatmade famous—and he would have dom

i so had not a friend remarked:—"Call yourself Lord 'Awkins of Ttchtn

'Erts? Why, there's not a Cocknejwho'll be able to pronounce your new. name correctly."[ That settled it, and the title of LoreI Brampton was chosen, and in his nen

disguise he lived until 1907. But no oneever thought of him as Lord Brampton.

A PASSPORT STORY.During the Great War a certain regu

lation stringently forbade a husbandand wife crossing over to France to-gether, the idea being that one of thetwo was quite enough to transact anynecessary business. Among a passportofficer's applicants appeared a man anda woman who told him they were veryanjiods to get to Paris, in reply tcthe question of business or pleasure theysaid "Business," and then proceeded toexplain what that business was.

Before handing him their passportshe observed that the couple appearedvery agitated. At length rhe man/ said:"J havea very serious confession to maketo you, sir; I must tell you we are notmarried." "Well," said he, "under thepresent peculiar circumstances it's jollylucky for you both you're not. As it is,if your passports are in order you cango; were you married you couldn't."

GALLANTRY.Lady Georgiana Walpole, though

clever enough, was a mature spinsterof no great personal attractions. Accord-ing to one story, she happened, whilesitting next to the missionary at adinner party, to drop her fork. Dr.Wolff gallantly stooped to pick it up,and in the process of doing so pinchedher leg. Having had little experienceof that sort of thing, his enterprisemade an impression upon her, and asshe had a certain amount of money andwas clever, Wolff, who had faced manydangers without quailing, determinedto face another, and proposed.

Having been accepted, he went to seethe lady's ibrother, the third Earl ofOrford, and, after stating his intentions,said: "I may add that I come of theblood of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.""Oh!" said the earl, "you had bettertake her, but I fear our family can offeryou nothing like that."

MADE IN GERMANY."Oriental National Anthems are al-ways of exotic origin. It is said thatat the Durbar, at Agra, in February,1907, in honour of the Ameer of Afghan-istan, when the bandmasters were in-structed to play the Afghan NationalAnthem, they declared that no one hadever heard of such a tune! Eventuallythe Commander-in-Chief was appealedto for instructions. 'It does not mattertwo straws,' Kitchener replied. 'TheAmeer does not know a note of music.Play two or three bars of something

heavy, pompous, and slow; that's sureto please him!' A march from one ofthe older German operas, very littleknown by the general public, was chosenand played with such success that thenewspapers of Bombay, Calcutta, Mad-ras, and other cities visited by theAmeer printed columns about the'wierdly beautiful Oriental strains of theAfghan National Anthem.'"

LITERARY " TASTE."Thackeray had a strong belief that ahearty meal helped inspiration, andrecorded with great satisfaction adinner which he once disposed of in arestaurant at Antwerp.It consisted of—"1, green pea soup; 2.boiled salmon; 3, mussels; 4, crimpedskate; 5, roast meet; 6, patties; 7,melon; S, carp stewed with mushroomsand onions; 9, roast turkey; 10, cauli-flower and butter; 11, fillets of venisonpiques with assafoetida sauce; 12, stewedcalf's ear; 13, roast veal; 14, roastlamb; IS, stewed cherries; 16, rice pud-ding; 17, Gruyere cheese; about 24 cakesof different kinds; with three rolls ofbread and a score of potatoes." It willbe noticed that Thackeray (and not the

printer) spells "meat" incorrectly. Thewriter of the greatest novel in the Eng-lish language, "Vanity Fair," tauntedwith his inability to spell, said, '-'Any —fool can spell."

CLEVER LIAR.John Porter is the veteran trainer of

racehorses, one of the most famous inhistory. He tells one amusing story ofa tipster who had the most wonderful2heek. It was at Shrewsbury, and hesaw a crowd surrounding a tipster wear-ing racing colours:— ."Curiosity impelled mc to stop andlisten to him. Presently he shouted: If!!you want to know who I am, I will tellyou. I served my time with John Por-ter at Kingsclere, and I rode Isonomy inill his gallops.' Inasmuch as I had never ,seen the man before, his audacity, not :;o say his mendacity, fairly took my jireath away. Moving towards him, [touched his elbow. He turned round and ]nstantly recognised mc. For a momentie seemed nonplussed, but he quickly ,egathered his wits. Pointing at mc, he tesumed his speech with the words:" 'If you don't believe mc, here is Mr. rPorter, who will vouch for what I have

old you!' This impromptu left mc ilumb, and I hurried away as fast as my ,egs would carry mc. I could not butdmire the man's cleverness." r

A Good Case for Pussyfoot.The scene was a temperance meeting

"What are you doing, Tommy?" heinquired.

"Killing Chinamen," was the answer.

Misunderstood.Swine fever had broken out in th»

village, and the local policeman hadbeen appointed to call upon all ownersof pigs and take particulars of eachease. Rapping at the door of a farm-house, he was confronted by a shrewish-looking woman, who curtly asked himwhat he wanted.. "I've called to seethe swine," said the constable. "He'sout," snappily replied the won*n, andbanged the door.

TALES OF A TAXI MAN.

Ten Years in London's Underworld—The AmazingRevelations of aLondon Driver,

[The third instalment of this Series re-Teals the wiles of the taxi-driver wh» isnot above asslstlnsr tiic criminal—the blacksheep amoug drivers, rnre indeed, butcapable of helping the crook. Memories oftho infamous "Rlndger Bill" will ba found»f Intense interest.]

No. 3—CROOKS' CHARIOTS.I have dealt, in n previous article, wltn

some of tho ways iv which taxis are usedia crime. In pursuing this subject I shouldIlka to 6tate, at tho outset, that what IhaTo to «ay in no way reflects upon thehonest London taxi-driver. He is an up-right, keen and dependable tfellow, aud anyfare who tempted him to dishonesty wouldnever repeat tbe experiment.

The "Straight-TJp" Driver.The "vagrant" driver, to whom I shall

refer, Is usually liie owner of the enrKhlch he drives about the streets, aud 'very,often he does not lawfully seek faros atoil. In the Mason trial such a vehicle wascalled a "straight-tip" taxi.

The driver may be in tho pa.v of severalmasters. For ono thing, bo may bo work-ing for n "dope" trader anil, if so, he willhave varied tasks. Dope salesmen may l>epoßted at more than n soon? ot prominenttpota in IjOnJon. and. lie may have to be nttheir beck nnd cnll lv rases of emergency.each as when oue of these salesmen whotoot their wares is in danger of arrest. The"vagrant" driver will know exactly whereto take him, and he will whisk his "fnre--tnto safety as fast as he can.

Then ajain, there are "vagrant" driverswho place themselves nnd their cars at tbedisposal of the "gentleman crook." Theirfare may he visiting n jewellery establish-ment with the intention of stealing valu-ables there, and then making a quick "get-eway," or he may be visiting other kindsOf shops for the same purpose. The "vag-rant" driver will wait outside for him and,the moment his fare reappears, off he willSO, as fast as he can.

There are taxi burglars who "work thegame" on their own with great profit tothemselves. Perhaps, while driving his cabtor public hire he may learn that a certaintouse is unoccupied, its owner being on atoliday. For a few dayß be will keep an•ya on the house in question, learning,among other things, tho times at nightWhen policemen pass lt.

When all his plans are laid he will drivenp to the house at a late hour, pull upbefore the door, walk up to the door whenhe sees that he is not likely to be disturbedfor some minutes, and effect an entrance.

A few minutes, or perhaps half-an-hourlater he will emerge with a travelling caseor anything of that character he can find.Often be will take a case with him. YVhenhe comes out, starts bis cab ami drives off,ho has more often been quite free fromsuspicion.

A stationary cab before a house is notan unusual sight. Neither would a passer-by think it extraordinary if the driver cameout with a travelling case, put it In the caband drove off.

He has enjoyed tremendous advantages.He has worked quite openly, and there hasbeen no dangerous loitering necessary. Andmore often than not he will drive straightto a '"fence" and dispose of the goodsslnlen immediately.

.Sometimes he will work with an expertcracksman, driving *he burglar to the house,waiting for him outside and then—afterfcnlplng him to remove the swag In unsus-picious travelling cases—will drive hlniaway.

Iteflect what an unsuspicious series ofevents Ihcse are. . What more ordinarythan n waiting cab. an open door, a driverassisting a well-dressed gentleman (sup-posedy the occupant of the house) to carryhis "luggage -' to the cab. the closing of thedoor and the driving away?

And what an excellent advantage thedriver has, as he waits in his cab. to act asguard and warning for the man inside thehouse.If most people wore told how often these

methods have been practised, tbe newswould cause thorn an unpleasant shock.

One more "trick" of tho "vagrant" driverKay, perhaps, be mentioned here, lie willsometimes use a set of false number-plateson his cab and ply for hire among passen-gers alighting at the chief London ter-mini. He will pick up a fare, sny, forBayswater. and if that fare has an abund-ance of luggage the driver is better pleased.

He makes for the address which his faregives him but, when very near to tbe desti-nation, his cab suddenly comes to a halt.There is something wrong with the eugiuo.

He offers profuse apologies, but the faredoes not care to -wait in a cab for anylength of time within a score of yards ofhis own doorstep, so he tells the driver toharry up and bring on the luggage whenhe has fixed the engine.

It is because the genuine taxi-driver isan honest man that everyone trusts himand trusts him implicitly.

Trading on this, the "vagrant" driver,leftalone with his cnb, waits until his fare hasgone into his lionae, and then, hastily

springing to the wheel, lie drives down aside turning and off. Some distance awayho will remove the false number plates,sobstltuto the correct ones, and remove any

facial disguise be has been wearing. One

cab Is so much like another that he wouldnot hestCMe to take another fore lv the

came district as he had just "worked in•lmost immediately afterwards.

False Numbers.The "vagrant" driver Is very subtle. It

is so easy to disguise a cab. The art ofdisguise in this direction is to give a cablittle distinguishing marks which can beeasily removed, and which the ordinary-person will remember If by. Then, by wear-ing a false moustache, a different coat and<ap, he completes the alternative picturethat deludes his fare absolutely. When a• search Is made for a bearded driver of nbine cab, number XTZ (for argument), andwitha set of white curtains on the cushionsInside, no such cnb is found. Of course, noone thinks of questiouing the driver (clean•haven) of a blue cab (of which there arehundreds in London), number RQP, withoutcurtains on the upholstering.

Sometimes the "vagrant" driver uses afalse set of numbers, which are reallythose attached to the cab of a genuine taxi-driver. When the latter is questioned andcannot prove he was elsewhere at the timewhen the driver of a car bearing his num-ber committed a theft of some sort, he Islikely to suffer great trouble as a result.I once remember a constable coming up

to mc and saying that the driver of a cab,of the same colour as mine, and bearing tnynumbers, worked the "luggage trick" on afare living at Baker Street. I was asked toexplain my movements at a certain hourthat morning. Now for two hours thatmorning I had been driving through mainthoroughfares, nnd no one had hired mcduring that time either. It took mc daysto find someone who had Seen mc during

those two hours, and that someone Iitmnbled on quite by chance.

If a taxi-driver wants to be unseen thelest thing he can do is to keep In tho main :x>ads, and tho crowds ot traffic and pedes-trians, becanso hero he will be least ,noticed. That fact Is remarkable, but per-'eetly true.

Some years ago there masqueraded InLondon a man who wag known to taxi-Irivcrs as "Bludger Bill," and of whom onetared only speak in a whisper. His namehas recently sprung into prominence inParis, where he has just been sentencedfor fraud.I do not think there has been anyone

like him before or since. On the outbreakof war his activities ceased, and it was

thought that "Bludger Bill" :made amendsfor his misdeeds on the fields of Francebut after the armistice be became more

various coverings for it-blue,green, black and purple.

When the windows were closed, a f««

was inside and Bill was at the wheel, that

fare was entirely at his mercy. His dis-

guises were manifold, and he was a masterat "make-up."

A favourite method of his-If it may be

called by such a name—was to have one ofhis henchmen dress up in the latest fashion,

shadow a wealthy victim and eventually, ina not too-crowded thoroughfare, get in frontand pretend to accidentally drop a walletfrom his pocket.

The wealthy victim would see it on theground, hurry forward aud offer it to theman in front. The owner of the walletwould proffer profuse thanks and get Intoconversation with the victim. If possible,he would suggest—as soon as their conver-sation had gone on long enough—that they

were going the same way and that, as howas about to hall a taxi, his companion]might share it.

A little later the victim would be un-conscious, after the accomplice had hastily-

leaned over and pressed a wad of cotton-wool soaked with chloroform to his mouth,aud nose, springing on to his victim andsecuring him aH he did so.

He would be searched, and bis money anuvaluables stolen. Bill would drive to theirvictim's house, knock and say tbat he hadfound him unconscious in the roadway andhad learned his address from a card in hispocket.

The servant at the house would take, inhis master, summon a doctor—BUI wouldvolunteer to drive off for one immediately

—and that would tie the last either he orhis master saw of "Bludger Bill." Nodoctor could be summoned, but the victimwould soon recover consciousness. By thattime it would be impossible to trace thecab, Tor Bill would be sure to have had bothhis cnb and himsclt disguised, and falsenumber-plates attached.

He would be away seeking; other victims.Sometimes the wallet would be dropped

•by nil accomplice who was about to getinto Bill's cab, and then the suggestion otsharing a taxi would be more natural.Often the "loser"' of the wallet would sug-gest, having a drink, if the victim seemedthat type of affable person, and then Binwould be ready to take them to their"near-by destinations" afterwards.

•Some wealthy people are so credulousand easily deceived that such tricks nsthese are quite simple to work, when acrook lias an iron nerve and knows his jobthoroughly.

Bill often used a female accomplice forthese tricks of his. Iler name was "SilkJane," and she was a very beautiful andfascinating person, I believe. She woulddrop her purse, appear very grateful to thevictim who returned it to her and then useall her feminine charms to lure her victiminto Bill's clutches.

•Sometimes she would, at night, approacha victim and say that she was being fol-lowed, was frightened, and would he kindlysee her home in a taxi?

She would be followed up to that point,aud when the victim looked round he wouldcatch sight of an elusive figure some dls-stauce behind who would disappear im-mediately the victim sought to apprehendhim.

Bill had another accomplice, and this man—who moved about in society as "LordRaglan'' I—was useful in bringing wealthy

members of the idle-rich into his web."Lord Raglan," too. supplied much valu-able Information about Intended vlctims:and I shall refer to him later on in thesearticles.

MILLIONAIRE'S DEATH.i

DROWNED IN A TANK.

Mr. Charles Stanton, a millionaire timbermerchant, was found drowned in a tankat his home, Vine View, Horsell, near Wok-ing.

A great poultry lover. It was his custompersonally to feed his fowls before break-fast every morning.

On a Saturday morning he was outdoors,as usual, nt 7 o'clock.

Nothing amiss was suspected until 7.30,

when a maid went to call him to break-fast. There was no answer, and one of thegardeners made a search.

Some minutes Inter he was found withhis head in a water tank outside a con-servatory, his feet being lifted about 3infrom the ground.

Although his body was pulled out in-stantly, all attempts at artificial respira-tion failed.

Mr. Stanton was head of the largest tim-ber firm in London.

There was a romantic side to the acqui-

sition of this business. Nearly a hundredyears ago his father was an employee ofthe firm, but received the business underthe will of his employer.

At his death he bequeathed the propertyto his favourite niece, and appointed hisson. the victim, as trustee to the estate.

Mr. Charles Stanton was CO.

SAVING HER MOTHERTROUBLEA search by a Highbury woman for a

mislaid needle was stopped by her three-year-old girl, who said that she hadswallowed it. A Tisit to a doctor fol-lowed, when the child confessed that shehad not swallowed th* needle, but "thoughttbat by saying she had she would aaveher mother a lot of trouble."

"HUSBAND" A WOMAN.tfOHTT TEARS MARRIED.

For nearly forty years the people otLynirillo and vicinity knew 'William Tayioras a man, married, living in domestic tran-quillity wltto ibis wife and working onfarms.

William Taylor died in the Grand ViewHospitalat La Crosse, 'Wisconsin, and thenlt was revealed that William Taylor was awoman. She was dressed in a man's shirt,overalls, men's underclothing, and wore herhair, now scant and turning white, closelycropped.

•Lynxville authorities are seeking the"wife" to learn more of the details of thercmarka'ole life of the twowomen.

The body ot William Taylor was burleant the little cemetery at the La CrosseCounty CPoor iFarm.

When the "wife" was seventeen yearsold she "married" William Taylor. Thatwas nearly forty years ago, and that is

about all the people of Lynxville know ofthe past of the couple.

Few people became intimately acqualntenwith the odd, retiring family. William Tay-

lor nnd his "wife" would talk about every-thing hut themselves. William, besidesdoing farm work and garden work,gathered herbs aud made home-made salvesand medicines for years. For a time "he"attended villagers when they were ill. butthis was stopped by the State authoritiesbecause "he" was not a licensed physician.

William Taylor had an aversion to regu-lar physicians. "He" did not want to bequestioned by the village doctor. No per-sons had ever been admitted to intimacy

by the queer couple.For the last year or two Taylor was un-

able to continue with the hard and heavygarden work. "Flis" faithful "wife" under-took tbe work and provided both with thenecessities of life. She worked for a timeIn Voegel's Hotel in Lynxville.

But Taylor's condition prew steadilyworse. Finally the Poor Commissioner,who kept watch of the family, wns calledIn. He advised removal to a hospital.

COIN CROP PROSPECTS.A FAILURE PREDICTED.

The 1022 coin crop a complete failure.American pockets are so full of silver thatthere will be no nickels, dimes, quarters,or half-dollars coined this year, F. k).Scobey, director of the mint, announces.

As for pennies, only a "paltry 70,000dollars worth have been coined at tneDenver mint, ns against 492,000 dollarsworth the preceding year.

"There have been approximately 46,000,000worth of pennies coined since the mintbegan in 1702," said Mr. Scobey. "Sowhat's the use of making more, whenabout the only things you can still buywith a penny now-a-days are lollypops?"

' This is the first time iv 108 years thathaif dollars have not been coined; the firsttime in ninety-three years that no quartershave been coined: the first time in ninety-seven years that no dimes have been coined;with the exception of the year 1577, thefirst time in fifty-seven years that nonickels have been coined; and with the ex-ception of the years ISIS nnd 1523, the firsttime since the beginning of the mint in1793, 129 years ago, that so few pennieshave been coined.

This is the first year since 1905 sliverdollars have not been coined. Un 1903,5.812,000. silver dollars were coined. Thisyear the order is for 30,000,000 dollars,under the provisions of the Plttman Act.which required that for every dollar meltedInto bullion during the war to be sentabroad as n loan to our allies, a new silverdollar would be coined when the war wasover. About 130.000,000 dollars in 20-doldu.rgold pieces will be coined this year.

LIFE RESTORED.

DEAD CHILD'S HEART BEATS.

A remarkable story of how a child diedduring an operation, and was restored tolife for some time was told recently to theWestminster coroner at an inquest on VioletWinifred Leonard, the nine-year-old daugh-ter of a sheet-mctnl worker living in Lyn-ton Road, Bermondscy.

Evidence was given to the effect thatthe child had suffered from car diseasesince 1021, and had undergone severaloperations. On August 9 she was admittedto St. George's Hospital, and two dayslater a preliminary operation was success-fully performed.

On September 14 a second operation wasnecessary to join a sound nerve to a pal-sied one, and during this she died, herbreathing and heart beats being stoppod.Massage and other remedies were applied,and the heart began to beat again, andcontinued to do so for ah hour and a-quarter, when the girl again began tobreathe. At this time she had been takenback to the ward, but respiration ceasedin a quarter of an hour. The coroner, inrecording a verdict o£ death by misad-venture, said that the operation was a verydifficult and dangerous one.

Milk proved its potency as a fat producerduring the milk feeding demoustrationconducted by the Dairymen's League.

In one group of nine classes composed ot•boys and girls of various ages, 50 per centwere under weight when the demonstrationbegan in October, 1022, and only 22 per centwere underweight in June of this year.

The milk was furnished in half-pintbottles and paid for either by the pupils orthe school. It was served to thu childrentwice a day. The children were weighedand measured once a month. The teachersand the principal said that the milk-drink-ing children showed marked improvement.

THE INN OF MURDERS.

It is bellcvca that tho oldest inn in|England is a certain hostelry at Colnbrook,'Buckinghamshire. This place has a veryblack history, for here, many years ago,sixty murders were perpetrated by thelandlord and bis wife before the Climeswere discovered.

In this gloomy abode there •«, on Ihefirst floor, a large room known as the "BlueRoom." Guests who were known to bewealthy always slept ill the Blue Room.When the innkeeper had made sure thatthe guest was asleep trap door bolts weredrawn, and the unfortunate man tumblsdInto a boiling vat.

HOW TO ANNOY YOUR HUSBAND.

A MONKEY-GLAND PATIENT.

DIES AFTER THREE YEARS.

Mr. Arthur Evelyn Liardet, one of the-first patients to undergo Dr. Serge Voro-noff's famous monkey-gland operation, forrejuvenation, died at Craven Hill Gardens.London W., where he kept a private hotel.His period of renewed youth lasted lessthan three years. It was in 1920, when hewas 74 years old. that he heard of Dr.Voronoff's treatment. He was then bald.and walked with faltering footsteps. Hisface was seamed and wrinkled, and hischeeks pendulous nnd flabby.

On February 2, 1921, Dr. VoronoiTgrafted in him the gland of a monkey. Theoperation was reported to be extraordinarilysuccessful. In less than a year his headwas crowned with a growth of luxurianthair, the face tissues were firm, the skinsoft, and he walked with v firm step andupright carriage that astonished the doctor.

Last year, at the age of 70, he atteudeda meeting of Ilarley Street specialists toprove the eflicacy of Dr. Voronoff's treat-ment. He astonished the doctors. Theypunched and prodded his biceps, whichwere as hard as those of a prize-fighter,and he simply smiled. Then in return hegripped the hand of a famous specialistwith such firmness that he made, the sur-geon wince with pain. His rejuvenationwas declared to be complete.

It was the considered opinion of thespecialists that the operation bad trans-formed him from tottering old age to theactivity of a man in the prime of life.

TWELVE-INCH LIPS.

WEIRD AFRICAN CUSTOM.

Dr. Gaston aiuraz came back to Parisrecently with some life-size photographsof the enormous lips of the native womenof the Lake Tchad region of Central Africa,says "Science Sifting*."

The lips of the Saras-Djinges women arepierced with wooden d»cs of Increasing sizeuntil the lower lip is distended to twelveinches across.

This condition makes distinct speech im-possible for these women, and they can only

make known their simple wants by in-frequent spluttcrings. They are compelledto nourish themselves by pouring liquidfood down their throats.

In the earlier stages the distended lipsstick out like the bill of a great bird. Inthe last stages, when they have becomevery large, they hang down.

The explorers say that their most curiousexperience was to hear a party of Saras-Djinges women marching to the fields withtheir lips clacking together with rhythmicalsound.

The successive stages by which the lipsare distended have been studied. Whenthe girl Is four or live years old herfuture husband makes a hole In the centreof the upper aud lower lips with a roughknife or a big thorn. Through the holeshe places thick solid straws or reeds.

In a few weeks, when the girl has becomeused to the punctures, wooden pegs thesize of a lead pencil are pushed into theholes. Three months later, when the lipshave become accustomed to the distension,larger pegs are inserted. At 25 a fashion-able matron of the' Caras-Djlnges tribe islikely to have discs seven inches wide in thelower lip and five Inches wide in the upper,

iDp to this time the discs stick straightout like birds' bills, but now they dropdown from their weight.

After this the larger discs are insertedabout once a year. It is a matter of socialpride with a woman to go on increasingher lips as long as possible.

POISON DRAMA.AN INFATUATED PRISONER.

The amazing Klausenbnrg murder mys-tery, which has so far involved the poison-ing of eleven men. continues to producedevelopments worthy of the most complete111mdrama.

Already seven of the victims of this sinis-ter conspiracy aro dead.

All of the eleven men to be first strickendown were to have been witnesses In anembezzlement chnrgo against Joseph Moid,a Rumanian railway official. Mold is nowin gaol charged with having murdered fiveof the original seven dead men, two ofwhom are his own brothers.

The second development is the wholesalearrest of no fewer than 70 persons, all ofwhom are declared to be his confederates.

Beyond this, the authorities now statethat Mold is madly infatuated with a beau-tiful woman of rank, the Baroness IlonaBedens. In order to shower valuable pre-sents upon her. they affirm, he stole pro-perty entrusted to him and sold it.

There are only four specimens ex-tant, one being in the British Museum.They were issued in the second half of the14th Century, three centuries before thefounding of the Bank of Stockholm (16GS),the first to issue paper money in Europe.The Chinese notes, according to the in-scription, were issped on the advice of theEmperor's Finance Minister, had a valueof nbout forty pounds, and were declaredto be "good everywhere under Heaven!"On the notes it was also stated that forgerswould be beheaded, and that those whoprovided "information leading to the arrestof forgers" would not only receive a rewardin silver but the whole fortune of thewrongdoer as well. Marco Polo declaredthat notes existed in China a couple ofcenturies earlier than this, bnt no speci-mens of older issues have been found.

FARMFIELDGARDEN

THE LAND.INFLUENCE OF GREAT SIRES

Those who have made a 6tudy of th<founding of the improved breed of stockcannot fail to be impressed with thtvery rapid progress made in the earljyears of their establishment as contrastcd wii'n the slow progress later onIt is not unusual to hear the modenbreeder criticised because he cannot iran equal length of time show as muclprogress as was made by one of thtpioneers in founding the breed. It i;easy to explain the Fuccess of the oneand the apparent failure of the otherThe material at the beginning was cross-bred for almost every known characteiand hence plastic in the hands of thtbreeder. Gradually as the breeder elim-inated by selection undesirable traits:his animals became more stable, th«range of selection became less and lessuntil the breed, for some of its char-acters at least, approached the pure-bred. When tbat is attained for anyquality, selection for that quality is alan end.

Sooner or later all breeds arrive ata point in their evolution where they arepractically pure for all the essentialfeatures that go to make up the breed.Breeders, however, are not satisfied withthat attainment. They want progress,or development along some sought forline of special value. If they are breed-ing the dairy animal they want greaterand still greater milk production year byyear. If it be the beef steer they wantone that can put on a pound of weightwith less food than the present classof steers require.

The kind of progress which our modernbreeders desire is rare, and is not foundexcept in a few lines of families of -eachbreed. It comes to each breed just oftenenough to make the business of breedingvery fascinating. An analysis of theconscious efforts at breed improvementduring the last century reveals someinteresting results. One of the resultsis that all the improvement which abreed makes in any given time is madeby one or two great animals of thatbreed. The vast majority of the breeddo nothing more than increase the num-bers of the breed, some of which are in-different as to quality, but most ofwhich are not far from the average.No progress, no evolution, would takeplace except for the rare power of someindividual male or female. It appearsthat soon after a moderate degree ofpurity of blood has been obtained ina breed improvement comes, if it comesat all, from a family or two. As arule, the animal of exceptional breedingpower is a male, but not always is itso. In the natural order of things wemust look to the sire for racial improve-ment because his produce may mountto hundreds, while very naturally adam can have only a small number.

The first fact that come to light in astudy of the breeds is that only anoccasional sire does anything to im-prove his breed. The second fact, asimportant as the first, is that the greatsire makes his improvement throughan almost insignificant number of hissons and daughters.

SPRING CROPS.Where the land has been thoroughly

prepared frequent sowings of rape,kale, and In Borne instances turnips andother creps may be made. In certaindistricts swedes are already sown. Asthey take much longer to mature thanturnips they are usually put in earlyin the season. Rape and kale are nowrecognised as the most useful of ourforage for fattening lambs, and also forgrown sheep. Frequent sowing of theseuseful forage plants should be made.The rape matures much more quicklythan the kale, therefore it is desirableto arrange that it comes in about thotime that the rape is fed off. It is agood plan for that purpose to sow thetwo crops at about the same time. If,however, rape is intended for the maincrop, two or three sowings may bemade at. intervals, and kale can be sownlater on. As kale resists the blightbetter than rape, it is a good reserveif the other happens to suffer fromblight. Kale is also more suitable forlato feeding, as it holds out better:should dry weather come in lateautumn.

WAIKATO EXPERIMENT WITHLUPINS.

Mr. E. J. Darby, whose farm is 1situated at Arapuni on the banks of the ■Waikato river, has found that planting !lupins and afterwards ploughing them 'into the ground is a most satisfactory 'method of treating soil which is weak in 'humus. Mr. Darby, for experimental Ipurposes, carried out this procedure overa small area, and after doing so grew Jmarrows averaging 331b in weight, thesebeing nearly four times the size of thosegrown on an adjoining piece of land, 1which had not been so treated. In dis- •cussing the matter with a "Star" repre- jsentative, Mr. Darby stated that he was :so satisfied with the result that he had <•now 30 acre 3planted in lupins. In his ]opinion this treatment of tli3 ground was 1as beneficial as several tons of stable «manure, and was a method well worth 1following by those farmers who occupied 'that particular class of land. <LIVE STOCK AND THE FARM. fOur system of farming, which makes Jlarge use of live stock for marketing j

tho products of the land, as wool, meat, £butter and cheese, removes far less fer- .tility from the soil, when carefully (managed, than does a system in whichthe crop produce is marketed directly iwith no provision for soil replenishment.It must be remembered, however, that clive stock are consumers of fertility, 1nnd that which is carried away with ithem is lost to the soil. If no addi- ctional feed were purchased a live stock Isystem of farming would more or less ctend to diminish the Bupply of the cmineral nutrient elements in the soil. JThe same would also be true of the Jnitrosren in the soil to a somewhat *greater extent, unless, of course, legumecrops were carefully used, in which caseit would be possible to actually in-crease the nitrogen content of the soil.In some systems of stock farming the closs of soil fertility may be reduced to aan insignificant amount. In general a 1good system of stock farming can do cmuch to maintain soils in a high state cof fertility by actually increasing the tamount of nitrogen, when clovers are r,used, by reducing the losses of the 1mineral elements to a minimum, and by tkeeping the various nutrient elements In ta better state of availability. t

■a i>.» SOFT-FLESHED TURNIPS.,c Quick maturing turnips should be£j sown as soon as possible, and they will,c be ready for use about the New Year.y Their fattening properties are not equali. to rape, but they make a pleasant change3, for lambs after being' too closely con-n fined to rape for several weeks. Mangelsn should also be sown this month. Oldh mangel clamps should be now stripped,0 of their coverings of straw or soil, asis the increasing heat of the weather causesc excessive growth, which reduces the feed-r. ing value of the bulbs. Even if the~ mangels become shrivelled by exposure.r to light and sun, they have lost nothingc except water. At one time it was cus-[. tomary in certain parts of the SouthSj of England to partially dry the mangelsc in racks before feeding them to stock.

APPRECIATION OF THEVETERINARIAN.

7 Most owners of stock in the old days* had more faith than they have now in

remedies and cures, and these were* popularly used. When they failed—c and, as a rule, they were foredoomed to•1 fail'—and the cases appeared to bo hope-l- less, then, if the afflicted animals wereh especially valuable, veterinarians were

'» called.r There can be no doubt that this kind- of work tended to discredit the veterin-r ary profession among the uninformed,7 with the result that an enforced losst of prestige by a class of men who weret expected to do the impossible had a3 demoralising effect upon their profes-

sion. Moreover, it deterred many pro--1 mising young men from preparing them--1 selves to enter tho veterinary profes-■ sion, the members of which, even to-i day, are denied that degree of popular', confidence and respect which most ofI them on their own merits are entitled• to receive.• Fortunately a large and growing sec-i tion of the public which employs- veterinary practitioners is beginning to! regard these men as trained, competent

and necessary aids in keeping valuablelive stock in health. The prevention ofdiseases and the maintenance of healthare now considered by leading breedersto be more useful as veterinary servicesthat the treatment of diseases. Veter-inarians, therefore, are being employedto advise and instruct stockmen in re-gard to animal sanitation and hygieno.An ounce of prevention is worth a tonof cures. The best practitioners recog-nise tibia fact in their professionalwork, and their attitude challenges andevokes the hearty co-operation of en-lightened breeders.

Medicines whose specific effects arewell known will of course continue tobe administered by qualified-veterinar-ians in cases typical of those which Inthe past have responded to medication;but the chief function of the veterin-arian of to-day and to-morrow is thatof a co-worker with stockovmers andnature in protecting the animals fromcontagious and infectious diseases, andin preserving animal health. Veterin-arians who practice their profession inaccordance wth this interpretation oftheir function are steadily gaining thepublic respect and confidence which their 'forerunners lost, largely because they 'would not perform miracles. ;

THE GOOD COW AND GOODTREATMENT. ,

When you have a good cow, treat 1her, feed her, and handle her in a waysuch a cow should bo treated, fed, andhandled. Not alone should you do 'this for the increased milk she will iyield, but more for the effect it will jhave on her calves. Too few farmers ,ever give any thought to the biological ilaws which govern bovine life. Oneof the most powerful influences atwork constantly on cattle is that ofenvironment. >

A wise dairy farmer once said: "If 'you want your cows to produce good !heifers give the cattle wise dairy treat- *ment and conditions, and you will have 'helped the matter greatly." IThat man had used his observation ]to some purpose. It was said concern- 1ing him that it was remarkable what Ia large proportion of his heifers made 1fine cows. He guarded well against <the disastrous reversions likely to some Ito all animal life by unfavourable en- 'vironment. Such a man needs to be <"as the gods, knowing good from evil." .Some men have insight, can look into ~things and see the trutih, weigh it 'and give it its proper value. But with Da great many, live stock breeding may,sbe compared to putting one's hand into la bag without any definite idea of what Ethey want or what they are going to '!get. " c

> aA SUPPLEMENTARY FODDER t

CROP. .*Dairy farmers would be well advised

to look ahead from this stage, and see fjust what amount of fodder they willhave available during the late summer cand early autumn months. Those who care working on right lines have no doubt rprovided for this period long ago, hut vthere are doubtless many who are °equally concerned, but who have not 'been equally provident. It is not too clate, even yet, to provide an abundance jbof good succulent feed by the end of t/1January or even earlier, if it is de- i vsired. There is no better crop for this I dpurpose than Western Wolths and Crim- I cson Clover. Seeding at the rate of two I fbushels Western Wolths and 51b Crim- flson Clover to the acre, and sowing on adecidedly prepared ground in the middleof November, the chances are pretty cer-tain that January will find that cropready to graze or cut.

Every dairy factory in the land shows da rapid falling off in supplies during thei pFebruary-March period, and this is al- J ©most wholly accounted for by the lack ' pof special fodders to help the regular J gpastures. Without this special provi-sion the dairy cows must inevitably go | sioff, but with this provision they can 's.be kept up to their work very much; Tlonger with profit to the dairyman and jJjto the cattle also. •!

SELECTING THE HEIFER nCALVES. ic

The new season's calves are now far' tljnough on to make selection possible, 'and much could be done in culling the nherd and paying some attention to the wconformation of the calves. All heifer tlcalves are not good ones, not even if fithey are from highly-bred and tested pimatrons. We read frequently of sireshaving six or eight or even a dozen tltested daughters, with certain records, tlbut we do not read of the many daugh-ters of the same sire that never could oi

)isston, of Philadelphia. He write!hat they were developed by a crossing>f Rhode Island Reds and Whiti\averolles. The Faverolles is one of th<iest table fowls of France. This fowinited with the goodquality of the Redsa producing a fowl that is said to bexcellent for both table meat and eg<:reduction.

White Houdan.The White Houdan would be not onlj. handsome bird but a useful one. Theird was originated by combining theallowing varieties: The ordinary motled Houdan, Dorking, and Polish. Frorrhese crosses was produced a whiteawl of tho Houdan type, with ainkish, white skin, a very fair layer oirhite egg3, and one of the best of birds->r table purposes. It is said of thembat they are equally good as broilersr a fowl for splitting down and frying:nd that they make very plumpoasters. The capons are of excellentuality. The Houdan lays eggs of an

3ach the standard. Whilst no sanean would decry the use of pedigreeres and tested matrons, there is noso trying to believe that every descend-nt of these will be a champion, and itjust with the idea that a good deal

E very accurate selection can be donemongst the young calves that we drawie attention of dairymen to the prac-ce. Turn the calf up, and make ancamination of the udder formation andlacing of teats. It is certain that iflese are not as they should be in theilf they will never come right in the>w; if, on the other hand, they areSfht in the calf, they may later gorong, but that will be accident andtnnot perhaps be prevented. The pointthat those bad at the start will not

>mc right, and that animal should nots persevered with. Discard any withc teats grouped together, and with anider that is not well spread. The evi-:nces of deep milking capacity developirly, and most important is the uddertrination. This should be like a bi<*ixible patch with teats well spacedid even.

THE SOW V. THE COW.Let us compare the value of the pro-ice of a small holder's cow with tho■oduce of a sow in 12 months. A>w will, as a rule, produce in thisiriod one calf, which, with 12 months'tod feeding, may yield 5701b of meat.On the other hand what will thew contribute towards the nation's foodipply by producing, say, 1G pigs in the;ar, assuming that they are of an earlyaturing variety and are fed for 12onths? Eight of them would have 12onths' feeding, and eight of them sixonths' feeding, or an average for thet of nine months' feeding, as againstc calf's 12 months.Sixteen pigs at an average of nineonths would dress 2101b each dead2ight, or a total of 33601b, all fromc produce of one sow, as against 5761bom theproduce of the cow in the sameriod.It must be remembered, further, thatree breeding sows can be kept forc cost of one cow.Fho reproductive capacity of a pig is

course, immensely greater than thatj

average size. It is claimed that a. verylarge portion are fit for show purposes,that tho eggs hatch freely, and theyoung chicks are easy to raise. Theyhave the advantage of white plumage,large size carcase .for table meat, andthe amount of offal is comparativelysmall.

Ik Orloffs.ej The Orloff is the national fowl oltie Russia. There for many yearß theiw peasants havo endeavoured to produce°_ a fowl that woud combine hardiness',d freedom from disease, carcase of large-It size, good for table poultry, and to com-be hine with this, heavy egg produc-jj" tion. About thirty years ago some of

these fowls were taken to England,up where they were named Cossacks,er These fowls were bred very carefully in". England, where they were improved~r greatly as to size, Bhapo, colour, andis their peculiar adornments of head," which includes a comb that is very flat1P on the top of the head. Wattles 6howIn only on the male. Very full develop-'" ment of beard and whiskers about tho

throat and up the side of the head on alevel with the eyes. In colour one

?d variety is dark mohogany, with rich,Id dark, orange trimming. In the descrip-j? tion of them the colouring is described,1 as a mixture, black mahogany and greyh in the beard and muff. Tho beak of the'■ fowl, a rich, deep, mahogany, shadingn into deep orange. Thera is also aIf spangled variety, a pure black and ali pure whito variety.s Dominique.Jj Dominique is perhaps the oldest or-, iginal fowl of America. I remember

them quite well as a boy. At one timea there were large numbers of them bredr in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. There<? does not seem to be any official dataa as to how they originated, but in thoses days there were white Dorkings which•- had rose combs and it is probable they. arc a cross between the white Dorking','. and the Java fawl, a black plumaged3 fowl of a larger size. There is also a

breed of a mahogany colour.Progressive.

The Progressive fowls, so-called bytheir originator, were created from cros-'. ses of single combed specimens of ther White Wyandottes and White Plymouth

J Rocks. The offspring of this cross wasbred back to the Wyandottes. Fromr crossing in this way and by selectingfor colour they now havo several var-j ieties such as White Columbians, Sil-i vers, and Black. None of the othersare as vet equal to the white variety.

Strong claims are made for their abilityto lay and for good quality of their car-. case for table meat. I have not seentho birds but I should imagine that theywould be of tho Wyandotte type withsingle comb and a whiter akin than thatof tho Wyandotte.

The Jersey Black Giant.Tho Jersey Black Giant Ts another var-ietyevolved in America. A friend wroteto mo some little time ago that he hadproduced a capon of this breed which

weighed 18 pounds live weight. Whatinformation I can gather points to themibeing a cross between Langshans andBlack Javas.I think I have mentioned a sufficient

number of new breeds of the more or'less useful types. If I wero crossing anyof the above as a useful hobby I thinkI should decide on tho White Houdan.An extremely useful bird if one docsnot breed for absurdly large crests.In my young days I was a somewhat 'prominent breeder of tho mottled Hou-dan. But my experience was that ifyou bred for show typo you lost in thoframo and general utility qualities ofthe bird. In nearly every case with myshow specimens I had "to confine thecrest in a rubber band so that the birdcould see to feed and walk about, thoband being taken off two or three daysbefore showing the bird. On the otherhand eggs which I obtained from farmsin France hatched stock with largerand deeper bodies, but with onlya very small crest, in some cases only afew feathers. The chickens were re-markably quick growers, and at thattime crossed with the White Leghorn«a\-e remarkable results in egg produc-tion. If birds are wanted for beautyapart from utility then it would bedifficult to surpass the whito crestedPolish, a black metallic coloured plumagewith a pure white crest. There are few 'if any birds as handsome. If a personhas any eye for shape and carriage thensomo of the games may fill the billespecially the Old English Black Beds.

of any other farm animal. Horses willreproduce themselves to the extent of 50per cent to 60 per cent annually, witha maximum not exceeding 100 per cent- 'sheep may give 125 per cent, with amaximum not exceeding 200 per cent;while cattle will reproduce their kindto the extent of 60 per cent to 75 percent annually, the maximum not ex-ceeding 100 per cent. 1

Tho pig's percentage of reproductionat two litters in the year, or, say, 16 inall, is 1000 per cent,"and it may be ashigh as 2000 per cent.

DAIRY JOTTINGS.As a result of testing and cullin<»,some farmers have increased the produc- 1| tion of the herds 50 per cent, and that

in a very short period, but it is neverdone until the individual cows (have beentested, the records written down andstudied, and comparisons made with aview to locating the non-profit makers— tthe ones that are best sold to thebutcher.

The greatest aid in creating efficiencyin the dairy herd is the dairy sire witha strong milk producing inheritance.Such a sire adds to the milk producingability of the future herd.

There is a vast difference in the cowthat will produce 1301bof butterfat andeven less, and one that will produce4001b and more. Yet how many dairy-farmers still guess at the individual re- •*suits of their cows! Testing the milk todetermine the butterfat is the only wayto find the profitable cows in the*herd;it ia a method that it full of interestand surprises to the thinking man, andit is also accompanied by good financialresults because it discovers the cows thatare not worth keeping.

We can understand whya man will milka cow or possibly a whole herd of cowafor a year to find out whether or notthey are profitable. The question of (why he will continue to milk that same bherd year after year without knowing fwhich ones paid and which did not is a bharder one to answer. But the question iithat completely "stumps" us is why aunder heaven will he keep the factory saround for turning out a crop of these aunprofitable cows year after year a pscrub-bull. a

THEGREENHOUSE.Tho greenhouse at this time of theyear is often left in a state of neglectMore water is needed, the temperature ishot, with the result that the plants dryquickly, become covered with red spiderand in general the whole is neglected.Shading is most essential with all glassstructures for plant growing at thistime of the year, with the exception offruit houses or vineries. The next mostimportant thing is to keep the floors

and stages moist so that there is a con-tinualbuoyant atmosphere. With shad-ing the best method is by means ofscrim or canvas on rollers so that theycan be let down or drawn up according■to the weather. Failing blinds the nextbest means is by whitewash. This ie bestmade by whiting and skim or sour milk.Lime wash is too caustic, and will fetchoff the paint and loosen the putty. Ifsour or skim milk cannot be obtained,a little glue or size can be added. Ferns'are now looking well, and will requireplenty of moisture. At the same timemany of the varieties of maidenhair willnot stand overhead spraying, some will,however, and when they" will it shouldbe done. Watering and syringing isbest done of an evening, as the plantshave the benefit of the cool nights, andthe moisture docs not dry up so quickly.Any plants that are over should be stoodoutside or thrown away. Begonias andGloxinias 6hould be potted as they re-quire it, but do not over-pot. Once thepots are full of roots liquidmanure shouldbe applied. When applying liquid Imanure to greenhouse plants let it beweak but often, twice or three times aweek is not too often if it is weak.Plenty of ventilation should be givemat the same time guard against draughts!Palms, Crotons, Draeenas, and such likewill be growing fast now, and will needliquid manure,also a syringing withcleanwater every evening. Seedlings that arebeing grown on for planting outsideshould not be kept under glass longerthan possible; as soon as they are readyharden them off and get them outside.Perpetual carnation cuttinrrs rootedsarly will now be ready for their flower-ing pots, whilst the later rooted oneswill need potting on. Pinch when theyoung plants arc about six inches high.md again when the side growths are'"our inches long. Some varieties breakI:asier than others, and naturally make jnore bushy plants. Keep cool and iihaded any of last season's plants that jire flowering. Fumigation is also neces-sary every week or so if the greenhouse's to be kept clear of insect pests. j

THE CABBAGE MOTH(MAMESTRA BRASSICAE.)

Although the Cabbage has beeisingled out for the honour of providinithis destructive moth with a populaname, several others share equally thiaffections of the ever-hungry larvaeTurnips, Lettuces, Tomatoes, Strawberries, Roses—nothing comes amisaThe eggs are laid singly, that the larvaimay live in plenty and not be crowdetout. The young larvae is greenish, tinolder caterpillar being extremely variable in colour, but usually dull browrwith greyish or green dots, and aboulan inch and a quarter in length. Thjmoth, with dark grey or grey-brow:forewings, one and threequarter inchein expanse,is usually found fromOctobeto April, and caterpillars may be founto the end of May. Those larvae whicldo not spend the winter in the pupastage, hibernate until the spring.

Early hand-picking is the best meanto adopt to rid the garden of thiplague, with the assistance of poultrywhere the latter would not do monharm than the caterpillars, or sprayimwith arsenate of lead, half an ounce t<the gallon of water.

WORK IN THE VEGETABLEGARDEN.

There is at this time of the yeaiplenty of growth in the vegetable garden, and, as this is the utility part iiis the most important, for a garden t<bo a garden at all should providivegetables for the family throughou-the year. In most gardens there is nolunlimited space, and it is thereforeessential that intense culture should b<the method. By intensive culture iimeant getting two or three crops ayear from one piece of ground. It alscmeans that more manure and mor<working must be given. No portion o:the garden should be left unworkedevery foot of 6pace should be made tcgrow something, and as fast as onecrop comes off another should beplanted. Carrots sown early will re-quire thinning. When thinning Carrot*the first time leave the plants about aninch apart. In a week or so you can goover them again and thin out to twoinches apart. These latter thinningswill be found to have produced a emailbulb, which, if washed and cooked, aredelicious. Parsnips should be thinnedleaving the plants nine inches to a footapart. Potatoes can still be plantedin colder districts, although no timeshould be lost in getting them in. Thoseplanted earlier will need spraying andearthing. After the final "earthingCabbage, Broccoli or Brussel Sproutscan be planted in the furrows. Leeksshould be planted for winter use. Theycan be planted in shallow drills andearthed up likeCelery. Another method,and meaning less work but not suchgood results is by making a hole aboutnine inches deep with a large dribbleror a thick stick and dropping the youngplant into the hole so that the topsof the foliage just shows above. Donot put any soil into the hole, a littledrop of water will give the plant astart. Pumpkins, Marrows and Melonsare all crops which can be sown orplanted now. These can be 6own orplanted between some crop that will beoff in a fewweeks, for instance, amongstearly Beans or Peas, a crop of Cabbagewhich is being used now, or an earlycrop of Potatoes. Onions will be grow-ing fast now, and the surface of thesoil should be kept moist. Now is thetime to apply soot, wood ashes, andfowl droppings. Only apply one of themat a time and put them on the soil, noton the plants; give a hoeing after theapplication. Runner Beans that are upshould be staked as soon as they makea leaf or so beyond the seed "leaves.Every garden should have a row ofRunner Beans. Both Runner andDwarf Beans can be sown now and insuccession for the next two or threemonths. Do not sow too many at onetime. Better sow a few every fortnightthan a lot once a month. Lettuces andRadishes should be sown to keep up asupply. Well-manured, moist groundis necessary; to grow either well duringsummer means artificial watering.Lettuces will do in partial shade, andare improved by thismeans during sum-mer. Tomato planting will be gettingon now; in cold districts it should bofinished and the plants growing. AboutAuckland, however, a sowing made nowwill produce plants that will give a. latecrop. Tomatoes do not require a veryrich soil, in fact a medium soil is betterfor them, otherwise the plants makegrowth at the expense of fruit, and inany case large fruits of Tomatoes arenot of much value.

HINTS.Black Fly on Scarlet Runners.

When Runners are attacked by black-ay they very soon get filthy, but mostpeople hesitate to use soft soap or otherlisagreeablo washes on vegetables thatire to be eaten. A very good way oflislodging the black-fly without injuring;hc plants is to pour fine dust or sandm them. This makes them drop, when;hey can be dusted with soot or lime.

The Yellow TJnderwing Moth.This moth, Tripbaena pronuba, hides»y day, feeds by night, and does a deal

>f mischief in the caterpillar stage. The>est remedy is to tread all vegetablerround firm, and then hoe it frequently,o maintain a mulch of dry dust on the;op, which is most disagreeable to the>est.

To Prevent Potato Scab.To prevent the growth of the ordinary

Potato scab (Oospora scabies), whichlisfigures the skin, soak tho uncut setsn an ounce of formalin to two gallonsif water for two hours. Then dry theets, and plant them in clean soil. It3 not always easy to get clean soil, inrhich case dust with flowers of sulphurn the trenches while the Potatoes areeing planted.

TWO GOOD ANNTTAM.In setting up vases and bouquets somtlight foliage or flowers are needed tolighten up the effect. It is often a hardjob to find something that will gupnKrthis want. Two good and easily grownsubjects are Agrostis nebuloso, a veryfine grass, and Gysophila elegans anannual with small white flowers. Bothare amongst the cheapest seeds offeredby seedsmen, and a small packet is suffi-cient for the average garden. Sow nowin some goodsoil. Sow thinly where they., are to flower. Both require a sunny' position.

i RED SPIDER (TETBASTrCHTTSTEEARITJS.)

This minute pest is not a true spiderand it is not always red, hut most ua-'doubtedly it is a pest. In glass-houses especially, where the warmthfavours it, it breeds rapidly. At thisseason they emerge from the nooks andcrannies where they .have been in hidingthroughout the winter, to spin in colo-nies about the undersides of leavesusing the protective web as a shelterfrom whence the young, grey mites-only the mature mites, as a rule, arered—will not 6hift until the leaf hasgiven up its juices and ceased to be ofuse to them or to the plant itself, oruntil the pests are forcibly ejected' orslain. If a strict watch is not kept, itswork of destruction will he far pro-gressed before even its presence is sus-pected. Usually, the first intimation oftheir terribly activity is by the leavesturning yellow. The mite* is providedwith powerful suctorial apparatus, bymeans of which it fastens on and prm-tures the tissues of the leaves, andgreedily sucks up the sap. Its attacksso weaken the plants as to render theraespecially susceptible to attacks by fun-goid diseases.

It increases most rapidly in a warm,dry atmosphere. Once established, it isextremely difficult to rid the plants ofit. Preventive measures should, there-fore, instantly be taken in hand; thslaunching of a vigorous and early offen-sive goes far toward a clean and speedyvictory. Frequent and brisk syringingwith clean water, heated to the tem-perature of the house, directed especi-ally to the undersides of the leaves,should early be carried out and con-tinued regularly; a day missed and allthe past syringing will be wasted..Continual damping-down should also bepractised, in addition to periodicalsyringing. But care must be takenthat this is not overdone, and theatmosphere become too moist, or vic-tory over red spider will be followedby defeat by "rust," the developmentof which is favoured by an over-moistatmosphere. Leaves should be spongedwith nicotine, or a soft soap solutionwith the addition of flowers or snlpnur-or if very badly affected they shouldbe removed and burned. Where con-stant syringing is not desirable, fumi-gation must be resorted to.Out of doors, energetic spraying withlime sulphur solution or blackleaf 40must be done. It is particularly bad onlight hot soil and in dry seasons, andwill attack almost every variety of!plant. *

CRICKET.

PRIMARY SCHOOLS NOTES.

The second half of the 1923 competi-tions opened last Saturday, when, owingto few wickers being available, onlyA and D grade matches were played.The brief duration of the school cricketyear is very disappointing but the factthat only seven playing Saturdays aroavailable before the December holidayscan not bo blamed on the executive.Cricket starts unduly late in Auckland,Southern centres, where less favourableweather conditions exist, being weeksearlier. With the delay of waiting forwickets it seems impossible to get inrtore than about a dozen playing Satur-days during the year—a feature thatmay have some bearing on the com-plaint that cricket ia Auckland islanguishing.

Kowhai 111., one of the most success-ful elevens in tho A grade, were upagainst some very solid bowling byGaw and Moore, and only Berridge andWright were capablo of making anyshowing against it. Moore was righton tho spot; nine of his ten overs weremaidens and he bagged four wicketsfor three runs. The same player notched14 out of his side-* total of SS for sevenwickets. Kowhai 1., also went down, toRemuera who got them very cheaply inthe first innings and secured a six wicketvictory. There was an even contest be-tweenNewton East and Richmond Road,tho city school finishing with a lead ofeleven runs. Dram, for the winners,compiled a serviceable 33 and with Yorkand Stewart trundled to good effect,while Dillon batted well for 19. ForRichmond Road, Le Rossiguol shapedbest with the willow and Rudling withthe ball.

In the D grade, Richmond West es-tablished a lead over Mt. Eden in thefirst innings, but went to pieces in theirsecond venture at the batting crease,the hill team winning by six wickets.Hetherington secured the unique dis-tinction of making 17 runs and taking17 wickets. Higgins of Richmond Westwas top scorer with 24 out of his side's52.

6SECOND GRADE.

The opening of the season eventuatedunder excellent weather conditions.Play demonstrated that a certainamount of practice is essential to goodhatting, as the bowlers had somewhatthe best of the argument.

ParneU met North Shore, and at theend of an innings apiece the trans-harbour team had an advantage of 16runs. For Parnell, Booth (21) andSmith (17) were the chief contributors.The former played with freedom, andscored most of his runs on the leg side.Smith batted steadily. Rankiu tookeight wickets, and bowled an excellentlength. Gerard (32) shaped well forNorth Shore, and made the most of Msopportunities. Sampson (19) indulgedin vigorous hitting. Keily and Huntboth trundled well.

Manurewa (110) established a sub-stantial lead over Papakura (49) thankstoD. Peebles, who scored 74 out of 116.The highest scorer for Papakura wasClarke with 14. H. Gray (four for 0)caused the downfall of the Papakurabatsmen. A. Clarke (three for 18) andA. Griffen (two for IS) divided thebowl-ing honours for Papakura.

The Grafton team journejed to Papa-toetoe, aud in an enjoyable afternoon'scricket scored 112, to which the homeeleven responded with 48. For the visi-tors Finlay (31) kept the ball on theground with the exception of the looseones, which usually found the boundary.Johnston (22), Brown (17) and Brigh-ton (11) were theother contributors. A.Swafneld with four wickets was thechief wicket taker for Papatoetoe.Papatoetoe would have fared worse butfor a last wicket stand by Havili (IS)and P. Swaffield (10). Brown (five for18) and Cain (three for IS) did thedamage with the ball for Grafton.

LAWN TENNIS.(By HALF-VOLLEY.)

In spite of an unpromising; weatherjreport last Friday, Saturday proved an jideal day for tennis, and all the clubs:that opened had good attendances ofplayers and visitors.

Saturday week will see the start ofthe inter-club matches, and interestshould be added to the A grade by thenew scheme that has been adopted. Itdoes not seem likely at present thatthere will be any great change in thestrength of the various teams. Remu-era appear on paper to be overwhelm-ingly strong in both ladies and men, andshould have little difficulty in success-fully defending their title to the A gradepremiership.

The scheme for the booking of courtsdrawn up by Messrs. Angus and Hick-son (an account of which appeared inlast Saturday's "Star") worked verywellat the Remuera Club courts on Satur-day, and clubs that are troubled in thisrespect would do well to try somethingon the same lines. In the WTiter's opin-ion it is much superior to the half-houror forty minutes' change over, which isinclined to make the players play inlayers or cliques, and the latter, as weknow, is what all clubs wish to prevent.

How often in a men's double do wesco a player smashing a ball that byrights belongs to his partner, or elsewe hear "yours" and the ball is allowedto fall in court untouched by citherplayer. Here is an expert's opinion onthis question. "Every man must lookafter lobs over his own head. He mustnot expect his partner to scuttle behindhim. The incoming server cannot pos-sibly concentrate upon getting close inif his partner ia frequently calling"yours" to a toss over his head. Goodoverheal work in a doubles means keep-ing a constant lookout for the firstsigns of a toss; it involves the abilityto run backward keeping the eye fixedon the ball. When the ball is lobbedover the heads of the players at the net,both should back away equally for thereturn, the idle player anyway, farenough to be certain his partner willnot be forced to let it drop and playit defensively. When a lob is allowedto bound, both partners must be backbehind it, for this turns the situation toa defensive one, nnd either man will behors de combat if lie remains at the netwhen the opponents rush in to volley.

The instant such a lob is allowed tofall, that must be considered the signalfor the successful side that made it torush forward to assume the aggressiveposition at the net before the nextreturn reaches them. The mo3t success-ful teams often try to turn the attackagainst their antagonists by this man-oeuvre, and when the 'ball is put up highthey watch the movements of the othermen closely for the key to thesituation.If the opponents back away to smash.,they must stay back to handle the ballfrom the bound, but at the -first sign oftheir turning to play it defensively theyinstantly rush forward to seize the at-tack at" the net. But the best practiceis not to let a lobbed ball drop. 2somatter if you have to back all the wayto the base-line to volley it, the advan-tage is better maintained by volleyingit downward than by turning to play itfrom the bound. The instant the ballhas been volleyed from a lob however,it is necessary to rush back instantly tothe net position, or the next return maycome tit your feet and the attack heturned in this way. This is not difficultwhen the lob is a comparatively shortone, leaving no great distance to run toreassume thenet,but when the lob is farback in the court it requires an instantrecovery to got in motion at once. Theidle player can start forward before thestroke is made as soon as he is certainthat his partner will volley the droppingball.

One of the greatest* factors whichhelp to place America in the first placein world tennis at the present timeis undoubtedly the training of herpromising young players. Richards andWilliams are both examples of thisearly training. With a view to helpingthe younger players of Auckland, tiheAssociation has a scheme in view whichit is hoped, may eventually leadto junior interclub interprovincialmatches and possibly even matcheswith Australia, and at tine same timeprovide coaching •which wr ill put youngplayers on the right track at thecommencement of their tennis caTeeraud thus avoid the formation of badhabits which are always a bar toprogress and more difficult to get ridof than to learn. Briefly, the schemeis to have an encouragement com-mittee at each club consisting of threemembers also an associatioi committee ofthree to co-ordinate the work of all theothers. These committees are to gen-erally watch over the interests ofjunior players and to arrange matcheswhen desired between them and theleading players. A young player, forinstance, may not care to go straightto a senior player whom he may never'have met and ask for a game. Withthe existence of encouragement com-mittees that he can go to, it will bea simple matter to arrange. He can

] tell them what he wishes and they can'arrange things for Mm. The scheme,las outlined above, is merely a basis toistart on. The mere fact that clubs are!taking an interest in juniors and dis-jcussing their progress will probablylead to many different plans for theimprovement of junior tennis.

SWIMMING.i At the Attercliffe Baths, Sheffield,England, Miss Irene Gilbert holder of.the world's ladies' 200 yards 'breast-stroke record, beat the existing world'srecord for 200 metres by 14sec, hertime being 3min 17 2-ssec. Unfortu-nately the bath is only 70ft long, andthe rule is that the bath must not beless than 25yds for world's records.However, at Rotherham she madeanother attempt in the corporationbaths, which are of standard length.In this attempt she again proved suc-cessful, her time for the distance being.'imin 20 2-ssec. This is an improve-ment by Usee on the 200 metresbreaststroke record made by Miss E.Vandon Bogaera at Antwerp on October14, 1922, in a 30-metre bath.

ATHLETICS.The latest mail to hand brings full

particulars of the great athletic meet-ing at Johannesburgon September loth,when Oxford University met a SouthAfrican team, and also a combinedISouth African Universities' team in a jthree-cornered match. The weather wasfine and hot, although there was a jsomewhat gusty wind. Chief interest jcentred in tho appearance in open com-pany of the wonder boy of South Africa,L. B. Betts, of Jeppe'High School, butadded interest from an Australian andNew Zealand viewpoint centred in thomeeting from the fact that J. K.Oosterlaak, H. P. Kinsman, RonaldJohnson and D. A. Leathern (all mem-bers of the. Springbok team whichvisited Auckland), also E. G. Suther-land (one time of New Zealand) weroin action.

The Oxford team was decisivelydefeated, which is not altogether sur-prising, seeing that it was not undulystrong, but tho performances of someof the South Africans wero wonderful.

The star performance in a constella-tion of top-hole deeds was surely L. B.Betts' 440 yards in 48 3-5. Three daysbefore the meeting Betts competed atIris own school sports, when amongstother performances, he ran 100 yardsin lOsecs., cantered away with a 440yards in 52 3-5, and didditto in a halt-mile in 2.4 3-5. He came to the frontsome three years ago, and since thenhas put up many remarkable times.His 48 3-5 lowers the 49secs. by P.Blignaut and G. H. Patching.

Although Atkinson was officiallycredited with losecs. in the hurdlesrace, some of tho watch-holders madethe time 14 4-5. Tho previous record(15. 1-5) was held jointly by Atkinsonand V. Duncker. Kinsman's 220 yardsin 21 4-5 equals the figures Dustanestablished at Johannesburg earlier inthe year. C. W. Oldfield's (Natal) 880yards in 1.57 2-5 is the fastest half-mile ever run in the Transvaal.

Frank H. Bailey is a runner of a cen-tury—a super champion (says a Sydneywriter). Since June 30 this year he haswon the New South Wales Novice andSenior cross-country titles, the Aus-tralasian championship, and his latestperformance is to get away with theState ten mile race. By winning theseclassic titles in such a short period—actually two months and two days—Bailey has achieved something which noother distance runner in New SouthWaleshas accomplished. He first becameprominent by winning the New SouthWales Novice C. C. Championship inJune, 1922, but was later disqualifiedowing to having some time previouslyinfringedhis amnteur status as a cyclist.Re-admitted to the ranks of the Ama-teur Athletic Association early thisseason, Bailey has proved himself themost brilliant distance runner in Aus-tralasia. In the annals of cross-countryrunning Andrew Wood is the only NewSouth Welshman to exceed Bailey's all-rouud victories, and it took him threeyears to do so. He won the ten mileschampionship at Hobart in 1910, theNewJSouthWales five milescross-countrytitle in 1907 and 1909, and theState tenmiles event also in 1907 and 1909. Woodhas to his credit a marathon race overthe full distance of 26 miles 385 yards.

The outstanding features of the trackand field championship meeting for Eng-lish born athletes, which was held re-cently, were the triple victory of H- ~$LAbrahams, a great mile race betweenC. E. Blewitt and W. H. Porter, and thereturn of Percy Hodge to steepleehasingpre-eminence. Abrahams won the100yds and 220yds races and thelong jump, in which ihe cleared 23ft4Jin. Blewitt's win in the mile was alesson in good judgment. Porter led intothe straight, and Blewitt held his finalsprint until 20 yards from the tape.Then his last effort was just sufficientto carry him to the tape with a lead ofhalf a yard. Percy Hodge was easily thebest steeplechaser in England in theseasons immediately following the war.He won the A-A.A. two mile 'chase in1919, 1920 and 1921, but was supposedlast year to have retired for good. Hisreappearance was marked by the easiestof wins. Although thescribes are begin-ning to call him a veteran, Hodge is stilla great steeplechaser.

RUGBY FOOTBALL.Joe Warbrick, who was captain of the

native Rugby team which toured Englandin 1888,and to whom reference was madeby a correspondent in our Tuesday'sissue, was one of the most versatile backswho ever played the game. He couldplay anywhere on the field, and whereverhe played he was a star. He representedAuckland, Wellington and Hawke's Bayat various times. Joe was killed in thedisastrous explosion at Waimangu. Fivehrothers went with the team, includingBilly, who was full-back, but only one isnow alive, Alf, the noted guide to thethermal district, who is now located atTaupo.

To say that New Zealand and Rngbyfootball in New Zealand, have beenbadly treated in the initial number ofWisden's Almanack, now to hand, wouldbo to express one's feelings very mildlyindeed, writes "Five-Eighth." Of the500 pages, one and a half, at the backof the book, are devoted to New Zea-land football. Half a page is occupiedin setting out in capital letters thenames of the members of the Manage-ment Committee of the N.Z.R.F.U. Thenfollows some matter, giving the numberof unions and teams in New Zealanel,two paragraphs of "puff" about the NewZealand -Rugby Union, a paragraphabout the establishment of the RanfuriyShield, another "puff" paragraph aboutthe N.Z.R.F.U., and—rnirabi'e dictu—half a page about the amended kick-into-touch rule, which will be anathemato every Britisher who reads it. Therecord concludes with a paragraphabout the proposed Imperial Conferenceon Rugby.

If the compilers desired to kill thegame in New Zealand, in the estimationof Wisden's readers, they could hardlyhave gone about it in a more likelyway. As it stands, it will give readersat Home and abroad a very poor im-pression of the game or its records inNew Zealand. South Africa gets fivetimes the amount of space allotted toNew Zealand, which gets the sameamount as is given to Australia, wherethe game is confined to one State—practically to one city. It is sincerelyto be hoped that the second issue winbe compiled with some little regard forthe fact that New Zealand is still onthe Rugby map.

AQUATICS.(By SPEEDWELL. 1

The fixture card of tho "Royals," justto hand, is a decided improvement onthe cards issued in previous seasons.It contains in addition to the usual listof officers, fixtures, etc., the time of ihigh water for each club race and achart of tho courses to be used for all |harbour events. A departure lias beenmade in this respect from formercourses. With an easterly or westerlywind, the yachts will go from the King'swharf round the beacon off the Bastion,thence round the beacon inside Rangi-toto reef, thence round the green lightbuoy, and from here the course will beup harbour round tho Rona buoy, aboveNorthcote, finishing at starting line.With the wind northerly or southerly,.the course will be round Bastion, thenceround the beacon inside Rangitoto reef,thenco round green light buoy. Thenceround Bastion, thenco back round reefbeacon, green light buoy and Bastionto finishing line olt King's wharf. Thisshortens thecourse considerably,cuttingout tho double trip from Bastion toKing's wharf on the second round. Itwill also ensure the boats having thomaximum amount of beating to wind-ward, but has the disadvantage of keep-ing the contestants right away fromtho spectators, who usually crowdKing's wharf and other points of van-tage, on these occasions. The only timethey will have a close view will be ntstart and finish. However, the com-petitors shouldbe the first consideration,and down harbour courses are much lessliable to interfere with ferry and othertraffic, while they usually hold a truerwind and less tricky tide. A blackbuoy is shown on the chart insido Rangi-toto beacon. This buoy has been re-placed with a beacon over two yearsago.

An error has crept into tho officialnotice of the courses to bo used inopening day es issued to clubs by thoassociation. This notice, which hasalso appeared in print, states that bothyachts and launches are to observeall fairway marks. This is not correct.Some years ago this method was tried,but found to be very confusing, and ledto disputes oa to what status tho buoymarking the anchorage off Motuihi andseveral other marks had in tho course.For some time past tho only fairwaymarks observed in opening and closingevents have been the Sandspit beacon,and Bean Rock light. These are to beobserved this year with the addition of

the red beacon near the entrance toIslington Bay, which serves to keep theboats from going too close in toRangitoto. -Tho spring tides this week-endpromise to be exceptionally good, and,with a continuance of the fine weatherexperienced last week, a large numberof craft will be found swinging at theirmoorings for the first time this seasonon Sunday morning., It is generally felt that the recentlyadopted maximum and minimum!number of- crew to be carried in thecentre-board classes for harbour racesis a good move, but one or two ownersin the V. and S. classes have expresseda wish to have the maximum raised tosix. A recommendation to this etlecthas been sent in by the Akarana Clubto the association. The new boats builttoboth these classes are suchhefty craftthat their owners are quite anxious toprove their good qualities in a cruisingrace, and the Akarana Clubhas accededto a request that they be allowed tocompete in the races to Cowes and.Aworoa.

The Taiiranga Regatta Committee |have set up a special committee toentertain visiting yachtsmen to theirtown and the genial Colin writes ad-[vising the boys to bring down their best jfishing gear. He states that one boat;has just landed 40 kingfish, another 4iswordfish (one weighing scwt), another,got 3 Mako sharks, and ho claimed thatfound about Mayor Island there is thefinest fishing ground in New Zealanel.As Christmas Day falls on a Tuesday, itis doubtful if those who arc gettingjaway for a fortnight or so at this timewill be called on to work on the|Monday, so that nearly all will be readyito start on Saturday afternoon. This:would give boats which intended to goto Tauranga a couple of extra daysbefore the regatta, provided the com-imittee decided to start the race onjSaturday. This is an open matter, andno doubt the Tauranga committeewould be glad of an expression ofopinion on the question.

Besides the handsome gold cup, whichthe winner of the ocean race has thehonour of holding for the year, thereis a gold miniature, suitably inscribed,which becomes the property of thewinner. A flag also goes with the first

prize, and the committee decided this |week to add £20 cash. A similar sumlias been allotted to the yacht race intho harbour, £20 for the 14ft onedesign race (open); £15 for the launchrace over 7 knots, and numerous sub-stantial prizes for rowing, swimming,and other events amounting to £220.So it can bo seen that Tauranga isdoing its best to attract visitors on the

■"Day after Boxing Day."

I Dunedin yachtsmen evidently intendto make a big effort to take the Sanders'Cup back again with them from Wel-lington next January, and already haveheld throe trial races. In the first raceHeather won, but on Monday she wasunfortunate enough to strike the retain-ing wall off the boat harbour after com-pleting one round in the lead. Heathercarried away her rudder and had to giveup. The next race was sailed in a hardbreeze, and one of the new boats, June,1won, with Kii* Ora second, about 2Jmbehind her. lona was third, and Wini-fred fourth. Before the first race Wini-fred also carried away her rudder gud-geon and could not compete, althoughthe light weather conditions should havesuited her. In the third test there wasa good fresh nor-caster, and Winifredwon, with Kai Ora second nnd Heatherthird. In the opinion of tho onlookersHeather was not doing as well as usual,and when hauled out after the race itwas found that her centreboard wasbuckled, the effects of her collision withtho wall in the first race. In the thirdtest June's spinnaker fouled, and whena man went aloft to clear it the boatcapsized. It is generally thought thatfuture tests will he confined to nenther,Winifred, June, and Kai Ora. The lusttwo are the new boats built from theRona design by J. McPherson. Heatheris a good, all weather boat,and in tho experienced hands of. "Bill" McCulloch, she will take a lotof beating, although it is reported that

I Winifred's crew are 60 satisfied withtheir boat that they declined the offer ofher owner to get a new one built forthis year's contest. Probably the newboat June may 6how to better advantagewhen her sails and gear get wellstretched. Matters seem quiet in theother centres. No doubt Southland willsend Murihiku north again, but so far

' Wellington has not decided to build anew boat. Napier will chal-lenge with a boat now being built byBailey and Lowe of this city.

I Boating men will be glad to hear that! the Mansion House, Kawau, is being< renovated and everything put in good! order for the coming season. A fine'■ flow of water has been struck by boring

at the back of the Mansion House, over700 gallons per hour flowing from thebore. A huge concrete tank is beingmade on the hill overlooking the bay,and this will supply the house, whilea special bathing shed, fitted with allconveniences, will be built right on thebeach for the special use of boating men.A store has been erected, which willcarry a full stock, so it will be an easymatter to replenish the locker. The newmanager is Mr. J. Maxwell Whalley, lateof Mount Cook Hermitage, and _heassured us that yacht and launch owners'will be very welcome. Additional tennis,howling and croquet lawns have beenlaid down, and a fullpowered wirelessiset and electric light plant will be in-, stalled later. For some years Kawauhas notbeen as popular as it used to befor yacht or launch races, but both theAkarana and the N.Z. Power BoatiAssociation will hold races to BonAccord during the coining season.I A correspondent in Hawaii states thati tho trans-Pacific yacht race recently. held from Santa Barbara, California, toHonolulu attracted six competitors, theIrace being won by Diablo on time.

' After spending a week at Honolulu thesix boats raceel back again to San Fran-

jcisco. The return race was won by thei Mariner. Great enthusiasm has been| engendered by this ocean race of 2000jmiles, and already plans are being laidto repeat the race next year.

The Whangarei Cruising Club has-already opened the season with a picnicto Parua Bay. During the afternoon a

I race was held for 14-footers, Sea Urchinbeing the winner from seven competitors.

I A go-as-you-please race for launchesI was won by Mr. A. Wilkinson's Blue-! bird. The picnic was marked by fine.iweather, and the launches Eva andKaroro kindly assisted the club boatsin conveying members to and from the

'picnic grounds.A meeting of the Auckland Regatta

Committee will be held in the AkaranaYacht Club room, National Chambers,Swanson Street, on Monday, November19.

BOXING.RINGSIDE GOSSIP.

The return contest for the professional |heavyweight title of New Zealand willbe staged at Gisborne to-night, an alter-ation in the date having been effected.Writing from Gisborne a friend informedthe "Star's" boxing critic that TomHeeney has never trained so hard andconsistently for any previous battle inthe Dominion. Every day he has beenworking out in great style, and many aheavy man has felt the sting of the ex-champion's blows in spirited sparringbouts. It is rumoured in the PovertyBay capital that Heeney is more anxiousto win back his lost crown from bigJim O'Suilivan, of Auckland, than heis to win a whole pot of money, for themoment at all events, and Saturdaynight should provide the Gisborne folkwith such a pugilistic encounter as ithas seldom been the privilege of NewZealanders to witness. O'Suilivan wouldbe loath to lose the title because he con-templates a trip to Australia veryshortly.

Paul Demsky again failed to makegood in Australia the other night, whenhe was easily out-pointed by the Bel-gian visitor, Louis Pleese. Demskywas on the floor five times during thetwenty rounds, and from the meagre de-tails to hand evidently was not in thepicture.E. ARMRSHAWis a promisingleather pusher,who will developinto a very awk-ward customer forthe lightweights.Tall and rangy,he is as cool as aveteran in thering, and is quickon his feet, whilehe does not missmany openings,He has not beenlong at this game,but has alreadyhad a fair bit oiexperience in pub-lic sparriiif;matches, his quietand businesslikemanner makinghim very populaiwith ringsidersHe is hard to hitbecause of his un-usual reach, andit will be sur-prising if Australasian Honours cio notcome his way before very long.

His first victory since his arrival froirthe Commonwealth was secured by thepopular little Frenchman, Eugene Vo-laire, at theWellington Town Hall, whenho outpointed the aggressive Aucklandboy, Cla-rrie Blackburn, after fifteerrounds of hard fighting, writes "Milo'in the "Wellington Post." Some monthsago, the pair met over twenty roundsin Australia, when they divided honoursand as since then Blackburn has gainedvaluable experience in hard-fought con-tests with Paul Demsky, Les Murrayand Tommy Fairhall, it was anticipatedthat he would have a good ehancc ofbeating Volaire, who, having reached thezenith of his fighting form, would nothave improved to any noticeable extentHowever, greater experience and ring-manship stood by the Frenchman, whegained a popular and an undisputed de-cision. The actual fight was full ofinterest, and although mostly at closequarters, the men did not "hold" to anjnoticeable extent, and gave a good ex-hibition of what in-fighting really isBlackburn almost met disaster in th<tenth round when he took a hard smaslto the body which took away his wineand, doubling up in evident pain, ifseemed that he was about to collapseCries of "foul" came from some of thimembers of the audience who were no!in a position to see actually what dieoccur, but withhis customary quicknessof decision, Referee Earl Stewart orderecthe men to "box on," which, after shaking hands, they did without further adoFrom then onwards, Blackburn was obliged to remain mostly on the defensiveand although he fought back wellhonours were always with the Frenchman. Interviewed after the bout, Blackburn had no faultto find with the nctuadecision, though he was firmly of thiopinion that the punch to the body iiround ten was a foul. His trainerCharlie Peoples, mentioned that tinAuckland boy B'as badly troubled bihis nose, which was recently broken hiTommy Fairhall, and it is Blackburn*!intention to now have tho injured orgaiproperly attended to. It is now quition the cards that Trainer Ike Kutne:will be called upon to prepare hiicharge, the clever little Frenchman, fo:a fixture at Napier this month with thiAmerican, Harry Stone.

At last the efforts of big Jim Trac;have met with some success, the latesadvice from Vancouver being to theffect that he recently outpointed Fre<Welsh, of U.S.A., over a six roundsjourney. After leaving Auckland jiearl;two years ago, Tracy headed for thStates, where much boom and publicit;brought several important engagementhis way. Each of the leading heavyweights knocked him over in turn untihe finally decided that preliminary boxing was more in his line, and hence thivictory mentioned. Whether Tracy istubborn, game, or merely "thickskinned," is a debatable point, but iiany case, his win was well deserved.

jack Howard, of the Victoria StreeWest gymnasium, at one time one oAustralia's best heavyweight boxershas proved a success in every brandof sport and business he has taken upAs a young man ho won a heavyweighboxing tourney, and then he went righon with the business, knocking out Australia's present heavyweight champioion three occasions. Howard also madia name for himself with the Australia!Imperial Forces at Gallipoli, where hiwas wounded. Afterwards he won iheavyweight tourney in Egypt, and oihis return to Australia ho became a publican in Sydney. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, for after being iithis line of business for a few years hiis able to retire. "The first time I mciHoward was around the old LindsValley, Tasmania, mining camps,saw him put up some desperate banknuckle fights," says one writer. "Hicould hold his own with the glove;opposed to Malley Jackson and AlfJames, and he only a youngster. Thawas 20 years ago. The trouble witlHoward was he was too backward ammodest. In my humble opinion he waia great fighter, andalways a fine, manl]fellow, as well as a real Australian."

TURF NOTES.(By WHALEBONE.)

It is the intention of William Griggs,who was for many years first jockey forSir Robert Jaidine, to set up as atrainer, and he is taking Hackness Villa,Newmarket, and the stabling attached.William Griggs is a brother of WalterGriggs, who has been training at head-quarters for some years.

Prices of yearlings at the sales in Ireland are always on the low side andthere are very often good bargainsMrs. J. Bancroft gave 120gns for a greyout of Queeuie by Charles O'Malleyand as Purple Shade he registered hisfourth successive win in the PalatineNursery Handicap at Manchester and scfar has earned £3707.

The fact that Golden Hero has onlyone eye no doubt has much to do withhis being a very difficult horse to rideand a jockeynot so physically strong atCarslake might not have woa the Fit*william Selling Stakes on the horse atDoncaster on September llth, so badlydid Golden Hero hang. Carslake broughthis mount to the stand side when finish-ing, and put in good work in the lastfurlong, to get up and run Blue Sol outof it after Sir Abe Bailey's three-year-old had looked all over a winner.

Prince Aga Khan is getting a betterreturn than many men who have givena high price for yearlings. He got anexceptional filly when he paid OlOOgnsfor Mumtaz Mahal, and though she elidnot' run in the Middle Park Plate atNewmarket, he had a first-class colt inDiophon to take her place. Short oddswere laid on Diophon in a field of eleven,and he justified his price by winningnicely. Diophon, who was breel by LordD'Abernon, and is by Grand Parade (sonof Orby) from Donnetta, cost his presentowner 4000gns. This win may makeDiophon one of the Winter favouritesfor the Derby, a race his sire won in1907.

It was "a greatwin for Yorkshire gene-rally when Tranquil sailed home withthe St. Leger honours. The mare'sjockey, T. Weston, is a Yorkshire boy,and the locals "stood" Lord Derby'smaro with their customary enthusiasmto shake hands with themselves meta-phorically, on their good judgement.She was quite one of the most attractiveanimals in the paddock, and appeared to

ihave improved considerably since herdefeat in the Oaks, but, on the otherhand, Papyrus was so splendidly fit thathe could not have failed to appeal tothe admiration of everyone who viewedhim.

Many English sporting papers carrycolumns of advertisements from profes-sional tipsters. Evidently some of theseand a few owners have been workingtogether for their mutual advantageThe matter wasreferred to byLord Jer-sey at a meeting of the English JockeyClub recently. He said that in order tcdeal with the matter it was proposedto make a new rule which declared thaiany owner who by advertisement, cir-cular, letter, or other means, offered in-formation concerning his own or otherhorses, or connived at such practice,should be liable to disqualification.

At its twelve days' meeting, whichcommenced at Pimlico recently, the

|American racing body, the MarylandI Jockey Club, presented the trainer!of the winner of each race with 50! dollars (£10). As the average numberlof races each" day at Pimlico is seven,'this means £S4O in premiums for train-|ers. Sydney trainers, says an Austra-jlian writer, would appreciate somethingsimilar at proprietary meetings, as, withstakes rather on the small side, eventhe 10 per cent allowed on winnings byspecially liberal owners does not amountto a great deal.

The American owner, Mr. A. K. Ma-comber, who has a big racing establish-ment in Fiance, has been having luck inimportant races during the post fewweeks. Parth, for whom he gave a bigprice, only managed to run fourth in theSt. Leger, for which he was secondfavourite, but he subsequently won abig race in Paris. Recently that own-er's horse, Rose Palatine, a four-year-old by Prince Palatine from Eglantine,won the Cesarewitch, 2J- miles, from AgaKhan's Teresina, who ran third in theSt. Leger. As Rose Palatine started ata good price, it is apparent he did notappeal to English backers. With Papy-rus beaten by Zev in America, and the

1Cesarewitch won by a French horse, itis certain we shall now have pessimists

! eleploring the supposed deterioration oftheEnglish thoroughbred.

R. Jones rode his first winner for theKing when be steered Eondon Cry tovictory in the Prince Edward Handicapat Manchester on September 8. He mustalso be given the credit of ridinga very

I confident and steady race, as he kepthis mount well on the heels of hisopponents, and though he was last ofthe field to turn into the straight Jonesnever once became the least flurried.He just tapped the four-year-old oncewhen finding him running a little lazily.but the Egerton House horse answeredso readily to this that in a very fewstrides he had moved up and taken thelead from Mizzen Mast, and once in thelead ho sailed home in such smoothfashion that cheering started a longway from home. The cheers were re-peated when the band Btruck up the"National Anthem."

When tho American crack Zev wonthe Lawrence Realisation Stakes, 1 mile5 furlongs, for three-year-olds, at Bel-mont Park (New last month, hewas favourite in a field of four. Thefilly I,'ntidy, who was in receipt of 31bfrom Zev, did the pacemaking andwasted no time, seeingshe ran the threefurlongs in 35 2-5, half-mile in 47 2-5.five furlongs in 59 3-5, six furlongs in1.12 3-5, mile in 1.37 3-5, and mile anda quarter in 2.3 3-5. It was not untilthe commencement of the last furlongthat Zev headed her. anel ho came homedistinctly tired in 2.44 3-5 for the fulldistance. Zev, who carried 0.0 beatUntidy three lengths, and the value ofthe race to the winner's owner was£4825. It was in this race that Zevinjured one of his feet, but not severely.Untidy,whomade such a good showing, is jin the same stable as the three-year-oldCherry Pie. who in September put up thenew American record of 1.35 2-5 for amile in a race. Roainer has a record inAmerica of 1.34 4-5, but that was againsttime, and with the assistance of a pace-maker.

Sandbee can still gallop a bit, not-withstanding she is eight years old. Shewon four races at Goulburn last week,and was ridden by L. A. Walker, whodoes very little riding in the Metropoli-tan area* nowadays. Sandbee has lastedwell, her starts for the last two seasonsalone totalling 50.

i Miss A. L. Ault. who is the daughter■of a well-known Derby tradesman, re-!corded her first win as an owner whenHis Lorship defeated Knud and othersin the Gorleston Nursery at Yarmouth.The lady named has had a few horses intraining for some time.

Charity Land had made the long jour-•nev from Tfambledon Hills, in NorthIYorkshire to win the Tare Selling Han-dicap at Yarmouth on September 20th.He had top weight, but the moneypoured into the ring for him, and evi-dently a big coup was landed.The horse never looked like suffering de-feat, and in order to retain him 500gs'had'to be bid. so that the executive, onI surplus, reaped more than the stakesIliad cost them. •

.Sir Abe Bailey had quite a good'time on the first two days of the Don-

'carter Meeting. He began by running'second in the first two races and wonthe Yorkshire Handicap with Apronby Son-in-Law—Aprille, her first vic-tory He then won the last two raceson the second day, the Tattersalls SaleStakes with Colesburg by Son-in-Law—Slip a colt that cost him 480gns, andthe Rufford Abbey Handicap withCevlonesc by Willonyx-Excehta. Thestakes were worth£2,24< and as thewinners all started at remunerative|pi-ices the stable would have had a

Igood time. ->ow-ffi""rf

Notwithstanding S. Donoghiie com-menced the current season m England,badly, and was a long way down the listof winning jockeys at the conclusion ofthe first four months, he had worked tothe top on September 5, his total bains66 to the 64 of C. Elliott, who followedhim. However, Donoghue Had ridden in,about 120 more races than any otherjockey, andhis wins only averaged abouttwo in fifteen mounts. He has not paidto follow, as most of his wins have beenon short-priced horses. Donoghue visitedAmerica to ride Papyrus, and hisabsence from England for about fourweeks will probably cost him first placein this season's winning jockeys' list, a

' position he has held for many years.• Last season the progeny of Woorakwon■ over £21,000 in stakes, and placed their- sire fourth in the list of winning sires,i says an Australian exchange- WoorakI has made a splendid beginning this sea-

son, and must now be at the head of thelist. Already two of his progeny havewon important races, as Sir Andrewscored in the Metropolitan last week,and on Craven Plate day at Randwiek

5 the Gimcrack Stakes was won by his

' daughter Periwoo. Sandringham, Whit-!- tier and Accarak have also wonraces this

" season, and there are indications of other

'"big stakes falling to the sons and5 daughters of Woorakduring the next few1 weeks. It is gratifying to find an Aus-t tralian-bred sire doing well. So few of- them really get a chance that it comes hs- a pleasantsurprise to find one well up inr the winning sires' list.

Tranquil's success in the St. Leaer onSeptemlier 12 was very popular with the

l enormous crowd that assembled at Don-j caster, for Lord Derby's colours are well[ known on the Northern courses, and his- jockey, Weston, has a very big following) in Yorkshire. But, in addition to allr those things, a Yorkshire crowd dearly

loves to see the best animal win, andthere can be no question that the bestanimal in the race won, says an Englishwriter. Tranquil is by Swynford, who

' himself won this great race- She was1a very good two-year-old, and this1 spring, after a fine win at Newbury, won7 the One Thousand Guineas in a most im-

" pressive manner. She then lost herform. She failed in the Oaks and laterat Ascot. She was sent to be prepared- for the St. Leger to Mr. Jack Joel's- trainer, C. Morton. The change of air

l and general surroundings did for hertr what they have done for many otherc; horses, and she showed in the St. Legera that she was back once again in her;1 spring form.a 'Any doubtas to Easingwold's splendid- calibre as a racehorse was settled by his!, gallant effort to lead almost throughouti the Caulfield Cup with 9.1. He provedc himself a great horse by beating all ex-t cept the winner, Wynette, to whom het conceded 301b. It was only the very- vast difference in their weights thatc enabled Wynette to draw away fromfc Easingwold in the last half-furlong. J.s Holt has effected a wonderful improve-f ment in Easingwold since he first got

him, and the horse is displaying farbetter staying ability. Holt was fairlyc confident about Easingwold's chance, and

° | his confidence was fully justified. H.P Cairns rode a particularly well-judged' race in front on Easingwold, who foughtv out the finish very gamely. Though het won with Eurythmic three years ago,1 the Caulfield Cup has not been a lucky1 race for Holt, as he also provided thes runner-up to Whitticr last year in'• Tangalooma. who started favourite thef preceding year and missed a place, and; was third in Eurvthmic's Cup.(I _ t,vc Very costly to the ring was Wynette,c winner of the Caulfield Cup. It ish estimated that the connections of theg mare anil followers of the stable won;- about £25,000 over the success otc Wynette. most of which waa obtained

at a comparatively small outlay. Herowner, Mr. S. Ton", won only £500

n apart from the stake. He is not a0 betting man. Before Wynette exposed.- her form by winning at Caulfield inc August very long odds were laidc against her for the Cup. nnd evenh after her Stirling win in tlic Heatherlie1 'Handicap in September she figured ar, ac!remunerative price. From tlmt timei, jslie gradually gained popularity, andii I firmed, though until after Guineas Dayd she was still at a double figure quota-il lion. One of the best winners overit Wynette was a patron of C. T. Godby'sa stable, and he coupled lic-r with a horse\in the Melbourne Cup for a sum re-t presenting just on six figures. Wynettef besides I>eiiig a bad loser for the

bookmakers straight-out, has also been,- laid for large sums with the mos.t. popular Melbourne Cup candidates,notably Bitalli, Heir Apparent, Back

1 wood, David, nnd Rapine. Probably; Wuittier or The Cypher would havei been more expensive to the bookmaker--1 than Wynette was. and a lot of moneyt' was lost by early backers over The.I Hawk, All Sunshine, Sandringiraiu, and

THE AUCKLAND STAR." SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 10, 1923. 21

WOMEN'S WORLDTHE WELL BELOVED.

AUSTRALIA'S GRAND DAUGHTER.

In a lengthy notice of Miss RoseScott, who recently celebrated her 70thbirthday, tho love and affection of Aus-tralian women for this distinguishedwoman is shown. In a recpnt Sydneypaper an appreciation states that "RoseScott is one of Australia's daughters,whose story will be told to the childrenoi the present generation.

"She might have lived a spoilt darlingof fortune, for she had beauty, andthat much above the ordinary, family,and position. But she elected to de-vote her life working, indeed fighting,although an ardent pacifist, for herfellow-women not so well placed, andfor the betterment uf little cluldren.

"Every one knows that Rose Scott wasthe most potent factor in obtainingthe suffrage for women. She obtainedher objective, too, with diplomacy andgood-temperedargument, as well as hardwork. Yet, although she was nevera militant suffragette, she never hada. word to say against those who triedbelligerent methods to force the handsof tho selfish men who would denywomen the right to have a say in thelegislature of the country.'"How many shop assistants ever thinknow of the dark days when their fore-bears in the business worked from eightin the morning until nine at night, andeleven o'clock on Saturdays? Rose Scottworked for the Early Closing Act. Manya weary little shop girl, and a pale-faced brother at the trade, told thestory of aching feet and buzzing headsin the sanctity of her parlour in thelittle cottage at Woollahra. They werepiloted there by the late J. D. Fitz-gerald, who framed the famous petitionwhich was signed—be it to their credit—by thousands of Sydney citizens.

"Prison reform was another of RoseScott's big accomplishments. Mostcarefully sheltered women do not re-member the plight of unfortunatewomen who come within the sternshadow of the law. But Rose Scott,in the hey-day of her beauty, discov-ered that there were no women atten-dants in gaols. She was responsiblefor the institution of women warders—the first big step towards reform. Shewas also instrumental in getting womenon to the Prisoners' Aid Committee,and was the first woman elected.

"A few thoughtful men decided thatit would be dreadful for women to hearthe crime stories' of some of the menprisoners, as well as doubly humiliatingfor the men prisoners, so they decidedthat there should be a women"s commit-tee to deal with women. It had neverdawned upon the same men that thewomen prisoners had felt any humilia-tion at being dealt with by them untilRose Scott showed them the error oftheir ways.

"The children's courts were anotherof Rose Scott's helpful works to theState. For 30 years, indeed for agreater length of time, she preachedthe segregation of the mentally unfit.To-daji, she remarks, at last the doctorsare taking up a doctrine she preachedsoon after she came out in public withher humanitarian work. The need forsegregation struck her during her workwith the benevolent asylum, where shelaw weak-minded mothers coming backto the institution time and again, withillegitimate children, of whom they didnot know the fathers.

"Rose Scott's parlour has not onlybeen the meeting-place of those who•wished for reform and those victims whoneed it. It has been, and still is, arentable salon.

"All the great minds of tho timesforegathered at her home. Young am-foitjjous men came there for her wiseadvice and for mental relaxation. Rose£cott is still a keen wit and a womanof wonderful intellect. Sir George Reid,Mr. B. H. Wise, Sir William Lyne, andSir Edmund Barton were but a few ofthe big men who have passed, who werefrequent visitors. Mr. W. M. Hughes,Mr. W. H. Holman, and al! the big menin the first Labour movement were wor-shippers at the shrine of Australia'sgood daughter, though she favours noparty and no creed.

"She knew Henry Lawson, Kendall,and Victor Daley, and has cherishedletters from them and many others whopaved the hard path of Australianliterature.

"Present-day writers, poets, and ar-tists are her friends, and many dis-tinguished men still make regular pil-grimage up the little gravel path tovisit the woman who first drew themIfrom admiration, but retained themthrough affection. Clergyman of everydenomination are her friends, and visither. Rose Scott has retired from active

Ipublic work, but her private philan-thropies are no less. She is happy inIher old-world garden, where the lovelybirds still find sanctuary, though sonear town—and happy, too, are thosestill privileged to visit her and to callher friend, and wish her many happyreturns of her birthday."

THE HOUSEWIFE'S HANDS.When much housework has constantlyto be done one is apt to lose heart overthe state of the hands and nails. Verylittle time and trouble, however, need to

Ibe spent, even by the busiest house-iwife, in order to keep her hands and[nails in perfect condition.

Hotwater and good soap are the firsttwo essentials. When the hands havebeen cleansed with these, cold creamshould be rubbed thoroughly into theskin and the rubbing continued for sev-eral minutes. After this the handsshould again be dipped into soapywaterand wiped vigorously with a slice oflemon until every stain has been re-moved. The hands must then be driedwith a soft, toweland finally rubbed overlightly with a little vanishing cream.

If you suffer from chapped handsnothing is better than a mixture of rose-water and glycerine in equal parts.Women who are troubled withred handsshould never wear garments that are inany way tight. Good circulation isessential to white hands, and even thewatch bracelet should be worn ratherloosely.

When the cuticle becomes torn orragged white vaseline rubbed into thebase of the nail before going to bed willwork wonders. If the hands are of anugly shape do not wear rings. Ringsonly tend to draw attention to the ugli-ness that they are intended to hide.Sometimes, however, they are permissiblewhen the stones happen to tone exactlywitli the general colour scheme of thetoilet.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.In thesedays, nearly every woman uses

some sort of beauty aid, if it henothingmore than a little powder, or a simpleface cream, yet there are many who hesi-tate to employ such, regarding expendi-, ture made in this direction as an unne-. cessaiy extravagance.

It is not generally known thatall one, can possibly require can be made at> home, quite simply, and at little cost.For an outlay of a few pence a month,j it is possible to be independent of out-• side efforts to invite such beauty as can

! be induced to make our passage throughj life more attractive![ Nature herself is thebest of all beauty. doctors, and fresh air coupled with a• generous quantity of sunshine will do. much to make us look what we want—healthy, ruddy, and becoming—but[ Nature goes further than this, for she:' also provides such remedies as are ne-icessary to put right little facial ail-• ments, especially noticeable at this times, of the year.. j The ingredients of an excellent face

FASHION NOTES.

JBy AN EXPERT.)

PARIS, July 18.The French fashions are, as is gener-

ally known, just the advertisement of acertain French class. They are not thefashions of the elito or the beautifulgowning of Frenchwomen of taste. Thebest of fashions never really change,except in minor details, and in thoautumn fashions, I think I may saythat the couturieres are clinging to thisfundamental principle. They will varythe detail, the skirt may be raised alittle or dropped, the shoulder-drapomay have a little more fullness or alittle less. The line across or down thebodice may or may not be altered.Each new model which makes its bowto the public in August at the "Open-ings" may seem entirely new—a newcreation"—but it will simply be a newadaptation of last season's styles.

The small nothings of dress are alwaysworth looking at in Paris, and if onehas clever fingers, many economies canbe made. It is the fashion to carry awisp of bright chiffon in a wrist strapof suede or ribbon. The gay little ragis slipped through a ring, and looks forall the world like a captured butterfly.Among other novelties are the flowersmade of very narrow ribbon for hattrimmings. The flower which it is saidwill be much in fashion this autumn isthe zinnia, in rich autumnal colourings.Set flat on a hat at the base of thecrown, in clusters or rounded, it will beimmensely smart. Tulle trimmings,which have been out of vogue for sometime, are being used again by themodistes into the making up into smartcockades of varied designs. Tullescarves are also being worn a great dealjust now, witli evening dresses. Theylook very pretty when gracefully drapedover the shoulders. In fact, tullo hasbecome very popular this season, andno wonder, as it is unquestionably parti-cularly becoming. A well-dressed womanchooses a shade which will match thecolour of her complexion and hair.Mauve tulle, rose tulle, line-green tulle,and ochre, are bound to enhance thecharm of the wearers, according to thecolourings nature has endowed themwith.

Stockingsare almostunattainable, thefinest meshed silk—in dark shades ofgrey, bronze and mole—with openworkclock, ever remains the dream of everywoman. Beware . . . Oh! bevt'ftreof the light greys, the pearl tints, theflesh colour tbat thicken the slimmestanklesand are, between ourselves, not inthe best of taste.

The waist tends to monter un peu.To keep one's waist under one's nrm isas unbecoming as to wear it well belowthe hips. I am looking forward to achange. The very low waistline is allvery well for tho divinely slim, and tall,and graceful, but for the others.In the matter of fashions, it is notalways safe to venture on prcelictions.But it is rumoured that in some of thevery early autumn models, which everyone reads about, but nobody ever sees,the waist is going back to under thearms.

Some of the scasoirs sleeves have beenreally works of art. When one expectedthem to dwindle, they expanded, andwhere it seemed right and proper thatthey should exist, they disappearedaltogether. It was very artistic per-haps, unexpected certainly, and not alittle disconcerting, to see patches ofarm appear where you had the right tolook for a solid covering. So it is justas well that enthusiasm for originalityshould be curbed a little. Not that thenew sleeve is conventional. It does notbegin soberly at the shoulder, and endfrivolously at the wrist, not knowingits own mind for more than two inchestogether. It is just a plain, unaffectedlittle sleeve, with the interest concen-trated in the cufT. And thereby hangsall the merit of the new idea.

The "gauntlet" cuffs which are beingshown on our new summer coatsare picturesquely dashing. They havean impertinent upward trend thesegauntlet cuffs. It is the most satisfac-tory finish to a wrist that ever was in-vented, and gives scope for endlessoriginality in the way of trimmings.Suffice it to say, that it can be treatedhistorically in leather, a la d'Artagnan,or frivolously a la rue de la Pais, withpleated organdi ruffles.

COOKING HINTS.Spinach with Eggs.

Ingredients.—ljlb spinach, 2 eggs, 2ozbutter, croutons of bread, seasoning.

Wash tho spinach in several watersand strip off the Btalks. Put it intoa saucepan with only the water thathangs on the leaves, and a small quan-tity of salt. Cover and simmer untiltender, stirring occasionally. It will re-quire from 15 to 20 minutes. Thendrain, pressing out all the water. Rubthe spinach through a sieve or chop itfinely. Melt the butter in a saucepan,put in the spinach, add pepper, a pinchof nutmeg, and more salt if necessary.Make all thoroughly hot, then arrangethe spinach neatly in a hot dish. Hard-cook the eggs, cut them in halves, andplace them on the top. Garnish roundwith croutonß of fried bread.

Salads.The Americans are more insistent onfresh salads than we are, anel they mixthem differently. Lettuce, bananas, and

shredeled nut is one of their combina-tions well worth a trial; also choppedcelery and apple and slewed prunes.Both salads are served with thick creamover them.

Chicory and endive are also employedshredded and mixed with apples and nutschopped up—though fruit salads areserved now everywhere.

When serving sandwiches of mustardor cress, a paste to spread over one slice,with butter over the other, is alwaysliked, and the cress laid thickly between.IThe paste may be cheese and cream:mixed well together, or mixed mustardand a soft cheese or egg boiled verylightly, and spread over one of the slices,with generous butter on the other andthe cress in between. The sandwichesare then built up till about half a dozenare made, then the crusts are cut offwith a sharp knife all around, and theslices then cut into halves or quartersas desired for table.

Bean Soup.Soak lib brown haricot beans in 2quarts cold water overnight, pickingout any had ones. Next morning strainand put on to boil in 2 quarts coldstock or broth, and bring slowly to theboil, adding a pinch of sugar, somepeppercorns, and a clove or two. Slicemedium-sized onion, a carrot, Oialf aturnip, and some stalks of celery, andfry them brown in a little butter ordripping. Then add to the soup andboil all gently, with very frequent skim-

ming for 3 hours or more. Then passthrough course muslin, re-heat, andseason to taste.Pigeon Pie.

One pound good rump steak. Cut intopieces 3 inches square, place in bottom ofpie dish, season with pepper and salt.Take 2 pigeons, well cleaned, and cut inhalves. Lay them on steak with a goodsized lump of butter on each half, alsoa few ham rashers cut in small pieces,and two harel-boiled eggs cut in slices.Add enough stock to half-fill dish. Trimthe edge of pic dish with good, shortcrust, and put on cover with crust.Brush over with yolk of egg, and bakein fairly hot oven for about 1Jhours.

HOUSEHOLD HINTSLemon juice is useful in removing

grease from wood.A little sugar added to oatmeal while

it is cooking will improve the flavour.If you have a piece of broken glass

thatyou wish to repair, melt some alumapply to the broken parts, and placefirmly together. Tho crack will notshow.

The white of an egg applied to a burnor scald is most soothing and will causethe wound to heal quickly. Neverapply iodine to any raw surface of skin.A dessert spoonful of vinegar addedto a gill of milk will answer the samepurpose, where two eggs are required,and will make a cake or rock cakesmuch lighter. Both have been success-fully tried with this.

To keep soup vegetables (carrots,parsnips, swedes, spring onions) freshand crisp for a length of time, burythem in a spare corner of the garden,leaving the green tops exposed. Theywill keep'fresh in this way for a longperiod—in one case they have beenknown to keep as long as three months.

When cleaning glass decanters whichare badly stained inside, mix equal quan-tities of cooking salt and fine ashes to-gether, and moisten with vinegar. Keepshaking the mixture in the vessel untilall the stains have disappeared. Washin warm soapy water, rinse in cold water,ithen polish.

was to be expected. Out of tho leavesas out of the ground there grew trees,flowers and grass. Doreen was stillexamining her surroundings when alittle man, dressed in red and brown,came bounding towards her. He stop-ped in front of Doreen and looked herup and down curiously."Who are you?" he asked. "Doreen,"she began, "Doreen, 'tis Doreen." Thelittle man shrieked and off he boundedas quickly 6s he had come. Doreenthought for a moment and decided thattho best thing that she could do was tofollow him. So after the little manshe ran and as she did so she could hearhim calling out: "Doreen, 'tis a Doreen."She had kept the little man in sightfor some time, when she came upon atown which was built of autumn leavesred, gold and brown. She followed thelittle man through the streets. Theformer was still yelling, "Doreen," withas much vigour as ever, and as he didso crowds of people came from even-direction and surrounded Doreen andthe little man. They also took up thecry of "Doreen." Doreen herself wasvery puzzled and was more so still whenshe heard the cries of, "Our Prince Xsaved!" "The spell is broken!" Tothe palace, to the palace."

So Doreen was carried by the excitedcrowd to the palace. "When theyreached the gates the crowd parted andthe little man and Doreen were left bythemselves before the entrance.

FOR THE CHILDREN.ITHE LAND OF AUTUMN LEAVES(By NOREEN BROWNE, 15 YEARS.)

TRound and round whirled the leaves

and no sooner had Doreen raked up afew than they were blown away againby the mischievous wind. At last, aftermany efforts to enlarge the small pilewhich she had managed to rake intoa sheltered spot she gave up the taskas hopeless.

"I wonder why mother asked mc torako up those leaves on a day likethis," she thought, and then with a sighshe sat by the small pile.

She had been there for what seemeelto her a minute when the pile by whichshe sat began to grow with surprisingrapidity. Up and up it went untilthe top of it was well out of sightamong the scudding clouds. Doreenfelt as if she would like to climb thatmountain of leaves, and so climb it shedid; but she did not feel as if she wasclimbing, she felt as if she was floatingup and up and up. In a very shorttime the top came into view and nosooner did Doreen see it than she wasthere. When she reached the topDoreen looked around her. She couldsee hundreds and hundreds of leaves forthere were leaves everywhere, but that

"Read that," said the little man,briefly, pointing to some writing on thegate. Doreen read with interest. Itsaid: "The spell will broken be, whenthe mortal Doreen this land shall see,the witch's spell shall cease whenDoreen from the shell the prince re-lease." "Oh!" said Doreen, not yetunderstanding. "Well come on," saidthe little man rather impatiently.

So Doreen followed him into thecastle which, like the rest of the houses,was made of leaves. They passed twoguards and went into a handsome whitemarble hall, beautifully decorated withthe finest of spider-web curtains. Thewalls of the hall sparkled with gemsand the floor was sprinkled with shininggold dust.

Doreen and the little man walked be-tween two lines of courtiers to a throne,on which sat a lovely fairy. As Doreenwalked up to her she smiled andstretched out her hand.

"So this is Doreen," she said in asweet voice. "Sit here and I will tellyou all about it."

"Well," began the queen, "ten yearsago a wicked witch who hated mc casta spell over my son, Prince Armeen.She turned him into a huge tree whichshed hundreds and hundreds of leavesa minute. As you can well imaginethe land was soon flooded with leaves.

After completing her evil spell the oldwitch disappeared leaving behind her amessage. It said that when a mortalnamed Doreen came to this land thespell would be broken, the leaves andthe tree would disappear, and in theirplace would be the prince. The Doreenhas come and the spell is broken."

"We are expecting the prince anymoment now." As these words lefther mouth there was a great commotionin the hall and from without came thesound of cheering.

"It is he," said the queen. "It ismy Armeen." At that moment Doreensaw that a tall, handsome man hadwalked into the room. At his appear-ance the queen rose and went towardshim, saying softly: "My son."

"Oh, I want to go away, I want toget home," said Doreen, "and as thisthought crossed her mind she felt aqueer sliding sensation. Down, downshe slid and then came a bump. Sheopened her eyes and there she was athome sitting beside what had once beena pile of leaves, but which were nownowhere to be seen.

I cried, "it's all ones—one chimney, one window, withone pane of glass, one door, one doorstep, one path, one gate, and onefunny lovely fence, one flower-bed with one stalk, and one leaf and oneflower, and even that has a wonderful smell." "What a tiny place itis," said the Doc; "it makes mc feel quite a giant." "I'm sure Mr. Onelives here." he cried; "he's such a little number, he'd only want a tinyhouse, for, of course, he lives all alone, and at the top of the hill too,which is quite right, for oneis always on top. Tap at the door, Doctor."

Screen Stars and Films"Bella Donna," Pola Negri's first

American made picture will bo releasedin Auckland early in December. It willbe one of the Tivoli Theatre attractions.It is one of the most artistic productionsof the year, and is a faithful interpreta-tion of the stage version.

' Theodore KoslofT, who plays the lead-ing role in "Children of Jazz," is a

Russian by birth. He went through theRussian Revolution just after the war,md came to America to star inParamount pictures. He is famous forthe Kosloff ballet. "Children of Jazz,"

is one of the most up-to-date picturesof the year and gives us an insight intothe really high spots of New York.

•in return, Miidred gave Harold a(nrprise stag party. Pretending thatthey were going: to the theatre, shehad him dress, and when he descendedto the drawing room, about fifty menwere waiting in silent glee. Mildredslipped away to tho theatre with hermother and let the men join in a realcelebration of Harold'6 birthday.

Little Beth Milford, who is to playthe leads in H. C. Witwer's "FightingBlood" stories, stepped out of the MusicBox Revue to play the part. Shecherishes a note as a farewell souvenir.It seems that one night Bhe received anote from Frances Starr, who was sit-ting in a box, asking her if she wouldnot pose for a painting for Miss Starr'shusband, Haskell Coffin. She did so,and it led to a picture contract

Harold Lloyd gave Mildred DavisLloyd, his charming bride, a beautifulsapphire and diamond bracelet for herbirthday. When he came home from thistudio he told Mildred he was awfullyglad he'd been born so he could marryher, and if she'd go look in her roomshe'd find something. It was an en.i-mens packing case, and for an hourMildred was unwrapping. But in thecentre of a dozen boxes, like a Chin.sepuzzle, waa a flat velvet case with thebracelet.

H. B. Warner, leading man for GloriaSwaneon in the Paramount version of"Zaza," is strong1 for the po.ice. Heand his wife, Rita Stanwood, went tothe ball game at the Yankee Stadiumin New York recently and found, whenthey reached the gate, that they ibadno money. He remembered the oldsong, "Tell Your Troubles to a Police-man," and did so. Whereupon Pol.cemc.nDrescher, although he did not know Mr.Warner, lent him money enough to getinto the game, and also taxi fare home.

Pola Negri, who vsed to call thebuffalo nickels the "money mit ,deroow," is becoming Americanised veryrapidly. She has been somewhat severelycriticised for her attitude towards tnehelp around the studio, and resents thecriticism. "I understand the Americansbetter now," said the temperamentalPola the other day, "and I know howto treat them. In my next picture I'mgoing to grab the electrician around,the neck and Bay;—'Oh, what nicelights you make.'"

They say that, at last, a certainEuropean nobleman has really come —incognito—to Hollywood. The story goesthat ho was found working as a 'prop"in a certain studio. Dirty overalls andeverything! It was'only wfoen a cable/gram was delivered to him thatthose in authority discovered thatone of their labourers was CountPhillipe d'Esco, an exiled Rumanianwhose ancestral estates were confiscatedduring the world war. We wonder howmuch longer they'll let him wear theoveralls?

Robert Edeson, whose eyebrows havemade him as famous on the swell asthey did on the stage, became an actorto win a 'bet. His father was on thestage, but he put his son to work inthe business end of the theatre. Oneday the stage director came intoEdeson's office, swearing because one ofhis actors had broken his contract.Edeson, who was busy with a columnof figures, said: "For Heaven's sake,stop kicking. If you keep on wailing-about this, 111 have to play that partmyself." "Bet you a hundred dollarsyou're afraid to do it," said thedirector, and Edeson took the bet. Hemade his appearance, made a hit, andhas been at it ever since.

The independent makers of pictures—Harold Lloyd, Douglas Fairbanks,Charlie Chaplin, Norma Talmadge, MaryPickford and. one or two others—drawincomes from their pictures ranginginto millions. Of the stars em-ployed on a purely salary basis, MabelNormand is the highest paid. She re-ceives 70,000 dollars for each picture Inwhich she acts. Of the stars workingon a weekly contract basis, ThomasMeighan, Dorothy Dalton and AliceBrady are the highest paid, receiving5000 dollars a week. Through longterm contracts, now about ending, MissDalton and Miss Brady receive moreeach week than Pola Negri and GloriaSwanßon. Probably the most remark-able weekly contract is still held byElsie Ferguson, calling for 10,000 dollarsPer week—when she works. This alsois an old contract, nearly terminated.Of the stars receiving a salary and apercentage of the returns from theirpictures, Richard Barthelmess probablyleads.

How would you like to have a gown,to move which you had to hire a truck?Well, Gloria Swanson has one in "Zaza."It is to other gowns what the Majesticis to other liners. The gown proper isof net embroidered with pearls and dia-mond chips, and it has a deep fringe,embroidered in silver. But the train!Ah, there's where the truck comes in.That train is thirty feet long and sixfeet wide, and is made of silver netMaterial. On the net, in silver anddiamond embroidery, are designs ofstars, planets and crescents. And thenthe train is edged all around with abroad band of ostrich plumes—threegross having been used. There is ahead piece of silver and gold, withpearl and diamond ornaments, all toppedwith ostrich plumes, and Miss Swansoncarries & silver sta,ff, tipped withplumes. The gown weighs sixtypounds, the train accounting for forty-five pounds of the sixty, and the head-dress weighs ten pounds. It wasn'tthe weight that made the truck neces-sary, of course, but that creation had tobe moved to the studio without crushingor rumpling, and the truck was the best»»y to do it.

There really are some States in whichMr. Volstead is taken seriously. Out inKansas the State Board of PictureCensors has passed a rule barring anyburlesque of prohibition from any filmshown in the State. This includeseverything, even tho news reels andtopics. Also, all scenes of parties wheredrinking goes on are ordered out, un-less such scenes are an essential partof a picture dealing1with the pre-prohibition period.

Barbara La Marr lias always been asuccessful vamp in her former pictures,but now her vamping is of no avail.She cannot charm Pat O'Malley as thedashing young hero of the Royal North-west Mounted Police in ReginaldBarker's production of "The Master ofWoman." The scenes are laid at BigBear Lake in Canada; the struggle be-tween the girl and man for supremacyis the central theme. The■ picture isadapted by Monte M. Katterjohn fromG. B. Lancaster's "The Law-Bringers."Earle "Williams, Renee Adoree and Wal-lace Beery are also in the cast.

"MarriedLove," the book of Dr. MarieStopes, which hag been advertised so ex-tensively in England, has been adaptedto the screen andproduced at the BritishSuper Film Studio by G. B. Samuelson.This is certainly a fine picture, whosestory is a study of the happiness andthe troubles of married life. Thetroubles are represented by the respec-table number of ten children, the eldestof whom—our heroine—is afraid of mar-riage when she sees thatit is so difficultfor her poor parents to make both endsmeet. Except for some few scenes, thispicture is quite an interesting one and iswell acted by Sydney Fairbrother, SamLiversay, Rex Davis, and Lillian HallDavis.

Special auto express service was in-stalled at Camp Cecil B. Do Mille, nearGuadalupe, California,between the campand Hollywood, 225 miles away, duringthe making of the great Paramountspectacle, "The Ten Commandments."It was necessary to see the film beforethe sets were torn down so that retakescould be made if needed. So threenigh-powered autos were placed in ser-vice. Every night, at seven o'clock, aear left Camp De Mille with the filmshot that day. The film reached thelaboratory at midnight or a little later.It was rushed to the developing roomand the driverrushed to bed. The filmwas developed and the driver startedback for camp at two o'clock in theafternoon, arriving there about T.30o'clock at night so that the picturejcould be shown after dinner. About

I the time this driver pulled into camp,|another driver would leave for Holly-Iwood.

Mary Alden has at last attained herambition. She has acquired a professionand is, therefore, independent of allmotion picture producers and directors.She does not intend to practLe herprofession just yet and will not leavethe films flat immediately. But if anyproducer or director gets too dicta-torial hereafter, Mks Alden will ex-press her real' opinion and quit, know-ing that she can make her own waywithout the aid of a camera. She wasout on location while making "TheEagle's Feather" for Metro, and shereceived individual and collective lessonsfrom a score or more of cowpunohersin the delicate art of flipping flapjacks.The technique of the art intrigued herand she became remarkably proficient."What do I care for pictures," she saysin a lordly manner. "Anyone knowsthat a good flapjack flipper is alwaysin demand for work in restaurantwindows. And, besides, on that job,you have the spotlight all the time."

One of the biggest puzzles of thefilm industry is trying to comprehendwhy the producers will get so wrappedup in a certain play or novel that theywill spend fabulous sums to secure thescreen rights and then proceed forth-with to alter the story and plot intosuch a mutilated shape thatit is beyondall recognition and effectiveness. Anexample of this is the proposed treat-ment of Kipling's noted work "TheLight That Failed." A 'weU-knownscenario writer was engaged to adaptthis to the screen. The tale is a man'sstory through aftd through, a wonderfulvehicle for a male star. The scenariowriter treated it as such and wasamazed when half way through thescenario to find that thedirector wantedthe 'script altered and re-written to fita certain female star. The writer pro-tested it would ruin tho story. Thedirector insisted and the producerbacked him up. The writer refused todo it.. He resigned and a scribbler ofless ideals was assigned the job. Howmuch of Kipling will be left when itreaches the screen?

In the old days, Ben Turpin workedfor a small motion picture company '!nChicago, and his great speciality stuntwas jumping off one of the bridges intothe river. His 6ince-famous cross-eyeshad not been exploited and that washis principal claim to consideration. Abig Eastern company, one of the fir6tto take pictures seriously, came toChicago to make some location scenesand they needed someone to make sucha jump, so they sent for Turpin. T. eydiscussed price and failed to come to anagreement. Later Turpin sad to some-one on the lot: "Can you imagine that.cheap stiff offering mc two dollars anda half to make that jump? I told himfive dollars was my lowest figure and hewouldn't pay it." And at the same timethe director of the big company wasremarking to his assistant: "Ti.esecomedians in pictures want terriblesalaries. I offered to pay him two-fiftyfor the jump and he said five hundredwas the least we could get him for andwe can't afford that. So I guess we'llhave to do without it."

John D. Isaacs, reputed to be the"father of motion pictures;" has re-signed his position as, consulting en-gineer of the Southern Pacific Companyafter almost fifty years of service. Mr.Isaacs won his motion picture titleback in 1875 as the result of a betbetween young Leland Stanford andJames R. Keene. Stanford bet that atrotting horse, at one period of itsstride, had all four feet off the ground.Isaacs won the bet for Stanford byshowing a strip of pictures, made witha series of cameras, the shutters ofwhich were controlled by an electro-magnetic device of his own invention.The te=sts were made at Palo Alto, onVha great Stanford stock farm, and theoriginal pictures are still in tha Stan-ford University nwseurn.

There may be doubts in some quartersthat motion pictures are growing bet-ter, but they are certainly growngbigger. Goldwyn ia building at CulverOity what is said to be the world'slargest motion picture stage. 'Ihestructure covers a city block, beingapproximately 300 feet long and 175 feetwide. It will hold fifty sets at the sametime. It covers 52,500 square feet, morethan an acre of groud.

Mrs. Oliver Harriman, one of theshining lights of Xew York society, hasgone into the movies. No, not as anactress, but us a producer. She is inEurope looking for material suitable forthe Film Giiild, which, organised byfour college men, aims to do for thescreen what the Theatre Guild ha3donefor the stage. Mrs. Harriman's son.Borden, has a role in a Fibn Guildadaptation of a Scott Fitzgerald story.

Dorothy Gish does a Spanish dancain the Richard Barthelmess picture,"The Bright Shawl" which is one of themost delightful features of this fas-cinating romance of the days of Spanishdomination in Cuba. It is a revelationof the versatility of this very talentedyoung actress who, in a perfumed at-mosphere of old Havana, gives thedancing number with a grace andcharm that captivates all who see it.She is seen in the tremendously emo-tional role of La Clavel, who has allHavana worshipping at her feet. Andshe figures in a most poignant andtragic romance with a young American(Richard Barthelmess) who is adventur-ing in Ouba on the side of the patriotsconspiring against the Spanish crown.

BBISBANE, January 8, 19—,My I/ucky Bcryi,

Tea. Pve heard all ebons it. Lnckylittle beggar 1 W'ixy isn't there at chancefor ne? Why havent I a pretty faceajG a fetching figure, so that I mightalso(bocomj a star, and marry an earl, or adnkß orsomething! Oh, well, it's no goodcr yin<r, I suppose. The Lord had some-thing in mind, I reckon, wien He madema long and flat, and put a face onmc like a «M-n«, ornament. Perhaps Imiss a lot of fun, but I may also missa fairish bit of trouble, too.

Well, I never 1 Hero am I writing allabout myself instead of fining my letterwith congratulations. Never mind, oldgirl, you know how awfully pleased Iam to hear of your good luck. Whodo you think brought mc tiie newatYou wouldnt guess in a. million years.The old frump Gladys, whom you cutout wiuh Billy at the xiver picnic twoyears ago. She was pleased about it—I don't think! "So she's going to bea chorus girl?" she says, with that littlesnortof 'hers. "She's going to be a lead-ing lady—in time," Isaid. "Oh, is she?"she sneers. "Who's the (gentlemanwhose influence she's depending on?" 1lost my ihead then, and told her it wouldbe a mighty long time before some peoplewould get anyone to be interested inthem, except students of the antique.Oh, cricky, you ought to have seen hergo off at thatII Bay, how does Chart take it? Prettyrocky, I should think. He 's too staidto admire the stage. You know, dear,I often think he should have been aparson. He twirls his thumbs sodivinely. Have any of the actors fallenin love with you yet? Are youto showyour beautiful legs in any of yourdresses? H you do, the show ought tobe worth the price of admission. Funnything, isn't it, that men pay to seegirls' pretty legs with stockings on whenthey can see plenty of 'em unadornedat the seaside? But there, I neveroould understand the Jarutes.

As you are only in the Chorus for astart, I don't suppose you will get inotice in the papers. Anyway,,Pll 100lat them all "Miss Beryl Beresford, aiacquisition to the company, was a moslattractive feature of the chorus"—hour*!that, umpire? Couldn't you mash th<reporter or dramatic critic, or whateveiyou call him? I met one once, and h<gave mc the pip. Of course, I expectechim to talk learnedly about SardouIbsen, Maeterlinck, and those fellowsbut he didn't say a word about anjof them. He talked most of the timeabout the chances of some wretchecboxer for the world's championship—that is, when he wasn't yapping aboutthe things his youngest kid had learnedto say.

You must write and tell mc all thethings you do. I want to know howyou felt when you first went on. Besure and tell mc whether you felfshivery-shaky, as if your spine was madeof blancmange, or whether you went■hot and co-Id in turn, or both at thesame time- How does it feel to weartights with a dozen rows of baldheadslooking at you and nudging one anotherand saying, "How's that for shape, o!dboy?" Has the baritone made eyes atyou yet?—or the tenor, or the conduc-tor? YoiiTl think mo horrid to say so,but I'll bet a threepenny bit when it'sall over Chart wont be Mr. Beryl B res-ford. With your charms and a placelike -the stage to show them off in, youought to be able to catch almost any-one.' Now, don't go off pop when youread this. I think I know the world abit better than you do, although I'mlong and flat and have a face that seemsto have been put on wet.I suppose you'll be awfully busy, but

you mustn't forsake your old pals yet.There will be time enough for that whenyou are leading lady or the Duchess olWhatyoucallit or the Countess of Thing-amybob. Send mc a wire when the firstmillionaireproposes, and I'll come alongand help you snare him—at 10 per centcommission. Another thing—my rabbitskin furs are showing signs of wear.When you discard your first hundred-guinea set don't forget that I askedfirst. When are you going to have youijewellery stolen? Oh, I forgot, that'sonly for the stars, isn't it?

Good luck again, old girl. Go in andwin I Yours as ever,

TO HER MOTHER.

Melbourne, January 11, 19—.My Own Darling Mother,—I am so sorry that I have given

you cause for worry, mother dear. Thereis really not a scrap of reason for it.I am Bure you will be able to see thatwhen the novelty of thething wears off.You will rememeber that you were justas anxious when I first came to Mel-bourne. It will be just the same in thiscase.

You ask mc whether I have given thequestion serious thought. Of course 1have. I have thought and thoughtuntil my head has ached. Look at itwhichever way you like, I am convincedthat lam doing the right thing. Sodon't worry, darling, but think howproud you will be when your own littledaughter is a famous actress. Thinkof the things I will be able to buy youthen, dear mother. That little cottageby the sea that you had set your hearton before our affairs went smash. Thatshall be first. Yes, and then a littlerunabout. You don't know what a goodtime is in store for you, my'own sweetmother.

Charlie seems rather-cut-up about it,lam sorry to say. I wish he had moreconfidence in mc. He ought to knowthat I'm not a flighty, giddy sort of girl,who doesn't know her own mind. Hehas written quite despairingly, sayinghow impossible it will be to be anactressand his wife. Of course, the dear oldboy has strange notions about stage life,but I hope to soon convince him that toa girl who is not naturally vicious andhas the advantage of the training of thebest mother in the world the stage canbe as pure as any other walk in life.

This 1 will faithfully promise you,dear mother. The moment I findmyselfyielding to temptation—or, rather, hav-ing any desire to yield—l shall leave thestage for good and all. I want to bea credit to you,and I shrink at the very

idea of causing you pain. Dp to thepresent I have found the members ofthe company hard-working people, verymuch absorbed in their work, and, so faras I can see, having little time for any-thing else.I do hope,my darling mother, thatthis5 letter will reassure you. Please trust

j yonr little girl."Miss Molly Mischief" is such a fine

piece; I'm sure you would like it. Wek are certain to play in Sydney, so thatI you will be able to see it.

Don't worry a teeny, weeny bit abontmc, because there isn't any reason for it.! Do «rite mc, saying you are quite re-i lieved. I shall not be happy till I get[ a letter from you.

Fondest love.Believe mc, dear mother,

Always your devoted daughter,BERYL.

1[ TO HER SWEETHEART.

[ Melbourne, January 11, 19—«My Own Darling Charlie,—. I am not quite certain whether I' ought to be cross or to laugh at your

dismal letter, with its awful predictionsof moral disaster. You old Jeremiah,, with your lamentations!I will try to answer all your objec-

tions in their order. In the first place,l I didn't write and ask your advice

before deciding, not because I do noti value your judgment, but because I, knew that on this particular subject youL are dreadfully prejudiced. You wouldhave said no without stopping to think.Why is it that you never are able tolook at the bright side of things whenthey concern the stage? You alwaysquote the silly girls who have lost theirheads and gone wrong, and never *ay aword about the scores of others whotake up the work for the love of it, notbecause of the gaiety of the life. Is itquite fair to poor little mc to class mcas one of the silly ones right away?Why not wait for proof, dear?

Why should my success on the stageinterfere with our arrangements ? Manyactresses are married, and their hus-bands go with them when they aretravelling. Wouldn't that be prefer-able to anything else you can possibleimagine? To be withmc all the time,to share in all my successes! Withyou by my side, it would be perfect,darling. There is no stimulus likelove, you know that. By the end ofnext year your station should be sodeveloped that you could gell out at apretty high figure, so that the objectionwhich you are sure to raise—that youwould not live on your wife's earnings—is answered beforehand.I have just written mother and madeher a promise, and 1 want to repeat itto you. I have told her that at themoment I find myself likely to yield totemptation, I will give up the staije forever. Now, Charlie dear, can I saymore than that? Surely this will sat-isfy you. We promised to be true toeach other when I left Sydney to comeV*T' \Dd ,5 have not broken my vow.Why should I do so just because I amgoing on the stage? The suggestion istoo absurd, dear, so please don't thinkany more about it.

Is it any use again asking: you tocome along for the opening night? I™°WS * ,long wa-v- but is°'t yourown little g,rl worth the time it willana?, 1!-

TALES OF ADVENTURE

OBYADA—BAD INDIAN.

By R. C HUNTER.

" This story," writes the author, " was told mc by the former Royal North-west Mounted Policeman concerned, whose nickname was Pluck. Thenarrative Is absolutely true, and the facts were reported in the Canadian

newspapers at the time."

One day in 1912 word reached theheadquarters of the North-west mountedpolice, through some underground chan-nel, that Obyada, an Indian ol consider-able notoriety, was on the rampage. Hehad got fighting drunk, had knifed aman, set things generally alight in theRed Deer district, and then decamped.

"He is a real bad egg," said' theofficer to Pluck, "and this time he ha*broken his own record."

Obyada was indeed a bad egg. Hehad been a source of anxiety to themounted police for some considerabletime, and they had been in doubt as tohow to deal with him, because the Gov-ernment had issued instructions thatIndian troubles were to be "handled withgloves." A policy of conciliation had tobe adopted by tiic police authorities, andanything likely to lead to trouble wasdiscouraged.

Obyada — meaning, literally, "theBoreamer"—had ended up in prison onevery provious occasion when he had suc-ceeded in getting drink. A mas* oftingling nerves and undisciplined pas-sions, alwaya imagining inault when noinsult was intended, he never hesitatedto express his opinion of anyone, or touse knife or gun if he thought fit.

Twice he had escaped the gallows bythe merest fluke, having on both occa-sions stabbed personal friends who hap-pened to differ from him. IT all accountswere true, however, he had now put theselittle affairs in the shade, for he hadkilled an Indian—an old man and achief—appropriated his horse, anddisappeared.

Pluck was delegated to investigate thecase.

"You will need to be careful," the officertold him. "You understand, of course,that we are under special instructionsabout our dealings with Indians. Beforewe can put him to the limit of the lawwe must be particularly sure of ourevidence."

Careful inquiry at the Indian Reserva-tion, whither Pluck went first of all,resulted in the discovery that Obyada'sold mother had also disappeared, leavingno message with anyone as to herdestination—noteven her married daugh-ter, who lived on the edge of the vil-lage. It was inferred from this circum-stance that she had gone after her son,and -would probably be found in his com-pany. The murder was not denied,several witnesses testifying freely tohaving seen the actual deed; but the coolmanner in which the killing was acceptedand even condoned by the majority ofthe Indians, and the rcrfunctory wayin which they waved aside any referenceto the criminal or his escape, were reve-lations to Pluck of the native's indiffer-ence to crime.

In due course Pluck returned to head-quarters and reported that there wasquite enough evidence to hang Obyada,but little hope of learning anything ofhis whereabouts from the Indians.

The officer smiled."The main thing at present," he said,

"is to make certain of your witnesses.The rest can wait."

The officer knew that Obyada was notthe man to seek shelter in thebackwoodsfor any length of time, and he waajustified in his opinion by a series ofevents which presently stirred the town-ship of Red Deer. A number of theftsoccurred in the vicinity, and a detectivewho was sent out to investigate returnedwith the story that the depredationswere committed by outsiders, possibly 'a gang. Theyhad ridden into the town 'from some distance, according to the ;evidence, nnd money, blankets, food and Ihorses were the objects of their atten- ition. All this pointed to Indian tactics; '.nobody but an Indian would take com- iparatively worthless articles and leavejewellery, plate and other valuables jalone. ,

The officer declared at once that the ,vanished Obyada was responsible for the ,thefts, and Pluck was deputed to bring ,him in, being allowed, as usual, a free ,hand as to his methods. In the course iof his service Pluck had learnt thatIndian strategy was not to be judged bywhatappeared on the surface and he de- 'cided that his presence in Red Deer jwould be a direct hindrance to success.Moreover, he had a "hunch" that, in 'spite of his previous failure, better 'results would be obtained by maintaining 'a quiet, unobtrusive watch upon the 1criminal's relatives at the Reservation. <On his previous visit he had noticed a fthick bluff of poplar a little way out on 1the prairie, and he made up his mind tto take up his position there one night jand await results, keeping carefully out pof sight, and watching the doings of thenatives. i.

Arrived at the little wood, he searchedit with the aid of his flashlight, and pre-sently discovered an old, deserted hut, irapidly falling into ruin, but exactlysuited to his purpose. It is no use try- ,ing to "rush" Indians, and Pluck's planwas to lie low and watch, with theaid ofa powerful field-glans, what occurred in ,the Reservation from day to day- He cwas convinced that sooner or later his *patience would be rewarded and someclue come to light. «'

The supervisor of the Reservation, rhowever, gave him no encouragement. He "••passed the bluff the first day Pluck took iiup his vigil, and the watcher revealed thimself, exacting a promise of secrecy, o"I guess you are wasting time," said nthe supervisor, after hearing Pluck's t<story. "Indiana are not caught so aeasily as all that. Not a man, woman, hor child will reveal a secret by word or cact even if it be common knowledge in &the village.""I'll give it a trial, anyhow," said

Pluck.With characteristic tenacityhe held on ?to his purpose, till at last in a most i]

casual and unexpected manner he un- Vcovered a clue. "One day a little Indian maid, in pur- n:suit of prairie roses, wandered in the ailirection of the bluff and penetrated into:ts shelter, where the flowers she sought *";rew abundantly. She gathered busily, P1irranging the blooms as she plucked f';hem, humming a quaint monotonous h;;une to herself thewhile.. lifting her w;yes from the posy, she presently per- oi«Ived Pluck watching her, and though aiihe may have been frightened, she inihowed nothing of it in her demeanour, tcmt kept her solemn gaze steadily fixedI til>s thepoliceman* face. |b

He knew that the Indian childrenweretaught English in the Reservation schoolsand would therefore have no difficulty inunderstanding. So he asked with aningratiating smile:—;

"What you doin', missy?""Making flowers for grandma," she

answered precisely, in the clipped accentof the Indian.

"And who is grandma?" he asked."Bright Moon," aaid the child.Pluck straightened up with a jerk, for

she had given the name of Obyada'smother, whom he was particularlyanxious to meet.

"Is grandma ill, then?" he inquired."No, sho ia not ill, but she is far

away," she told him, and now Plucknoticed the peculiarly sad inflection theIndian voice adopts on occasion.

"Where has she gone?" 'He felt a hit mean questioning thechild but reconciled himself to it by theconsideration that the urgency of thecase justified him in using any practicalmeans to gain his object.

"Away," she repeated vaguely-

'And where is mother7" asked Pluck."Mother la in our house. Over

there "" 'So near and yet so far,'" quoted

Pluck, in an undertone, regarding thechild with increased interest.

"And grandma is comin*' home to-morrow, you say?" he said, sugges-tively.

"No; to-night," she corrected him."Well, don't wander far, little one,"said Pluck, and ho turned away satisfiedwith the information ho had obtained-

The child resumed her occupation,speedily losing all interest in thestranger, who, had she known it, waaalready busy with a plan that would,if it succeeded, end in disaster to thoseshe loved.

That night Pluck lay in hiding havingdiscovered a convenient dip near theIndian shack where, in tho semi-dark-ness, he would be unobserved, andwhence he commanded a view of thefront of the dwelling, which was clearlydefined in the light from the window.Towards midnigjit he was rewarded byhearing the hoof-beats of a horse, andtho sudden illumination of the dwellingfrom within advised him that the oldlady had arrived. It was evident thatshe did not intend to stay any time, forshe dismounted nnd tethered her ponyto a post. Pluck determined not to loselight of her, fetched his horse from thebluff and waited. The night, thoughmoonless, was brilliantly starry, andmoving objects could easily be distin-guished. Tluck, mounted and ready,waited at some distance, keenly alert forthe opening of the shack door and anymovement that might follow.

At length the old lady emerged. Shedid not seem to be in any hurry, and asshe mounted her cavu.se she did notattempt to lower her voice, possibly feel-ing secure in tho loyalty and taciturnityof the tribe, and never suspecting thatshe was being watched.Keeping at a considerable distance,Pluck had no difficulty in followin"her unobserved, for she was apparentlyobsessed by some engrossingthoughtandentirely unsuspicous. She travelledfast and straight without any effort tocover her trail. Pluck knitted his browsin perplexity, for he had learned toregard every action of the Indians withsuspicion, and this open and urgent pro-gress might, for all he knew, lead himinto an ambuscade or hidden danger ofsome kind. °The following night he lay at fulllength on a small plateau in the hill-side, looking straight across a creekibout a hundred yards wide, and watch-:ng the movements of the outlaw in hisplace of concealment. It was a natural:ave in theside of the hill opposite, wideit the mouth and seemingly narrowingis it receded, Uhe entrance being forti-icd by a strongly-constructed barricade)f stones, man-high and loopholed.I luck, being somewhat higher-placed:han the cave, could see what waa inprogress, and he noticed that tho crim-nal did not seem to welcome tihe pre-sence of his mother, and even tried toorce her out of his fortress by mainitrength. Though pushed out, however,ihe invariably returned, till at lengthvearied by her persistence, Obyada leiter enter in peace. This little by-play-evealed to Pluck that there were>t/her men behind the barricade. Hownany he could not determine, but helad even heard their voices as they en-ouraged Obyada to persevere in hismnatural attitude. Evidently reinforcenents would be necessary if the pla«iad to be stormed. Ho therefore toolareful note of tha surroundings anchen slipped quietly back to wljere hiiwrse was concealed. Beaching Edmonon after a two-days' ride, ihe reportedirogress and asked for help in order tcnable him to effect a capture."Three men could do it, air," Pluckold his superior."You don't know Obyada," said thefficer. "You'll want half a dozen atjast."Pluck looked surprised, showing hia

issent by a shake of the head."Humph!" grunted the officer. "Younow the Red man better than I do, nox>ubt. Believe mc, he is 'some* fighter'hen on the rampage."They compromised on a contingent otjur, and very soon, fully armed withifle and revolver, the little party tookie trail for Obyada's stronghold, wait-lg for darkness before they approachediie place. Pluck took the opportunityf the period of waiting to instruct thelen as to his plan of attack, assigning) each his position. They were not toIvance orstart shooting till theyheardis rifle in action, for Pluck hoped toid the struggle by his own first shot.s it grew dark he left his assistants

ad sought his former place of vantage.Reaching the plateau, he came to anbrupt halt. Seated on the point over->oking the creek he saw the figure ofie old mother, wrapped in her blanket.Ihouetted against the sky-line, she satotionless, sphinx-like, seemingly fastsleep.Pluck hesitated. It seemed to himlat the outlaw had effected his pur-Jse and managed to drive tihe old ladyom the protection of the cave. Moved7 pity, he was stepping forward toam her that her position was danger-is when she raised her head, saw him,id began to croon a song, her voicecreasing in volume the nearer he came

' her. Just in time Pluck realised thatie chant was a warning signal to thesleaguered outlaw** *ndhe>dronn«d,iuU

length. Almost at the same instant ashot rang out, followed by two otherreport* in rapid succession, and thewind of the bullets, singing over hi*head, advised the trooper that he wasthe objective.

Pluck laymotionlessawaiting develop-ments, for now that a surprise wsva im-possible he felt certain his men wouldbegin operation* on their own initiative.Meanwhile he watched the old ladynarrowly. Her attentionhad been drawnfrom him by some movement on herright, and presently her weird song wasresumed, the direction in which *he waalooking indicating to those in the cavethe quarter from which the attack wascoming. Suddenlythe firing was repeated

i—one shot followed in quick time hjtwo others. The old lady was obviously

la danger to the success of the enteipiifMand Pluck hesitated as to whether heshould put her out of action or not. Hedrew a bead on her with his rifle, but, could not bring himself to fire. Never-theless it was exasperating to be circum-vented by an old woman, and for a timePluck writhed in impotence. At last aninspiration came to him. Talcing careful, aim at the old lady's headpiece, whichwas mostly blanket and feathers, heBent a shot into it. Then taking ad-vantage of her confusion, he sprang tohis feet and reached the edge of theplateau immediately behind her.

"Dont move or turn or I'll shoot," hewhispered.

The old woman sat rigid, motionlessas a graven image.

Only one shot, he noticed, wasanswering tihe outlaws' fire, and hewondered if his men were all right.Cautiously peering round Bright Moon'sshoulder, he observed one of theIndiansstanding upright, success having evi-dently made him incautious. Up wentthe trooper's rifle, he pressed thetrigger, and the Red man pitchedforward and lay motionless. Later onhe got another who, leaning forward,was answering the fire of the policemansomewhere below him. So far as Pluckcould judge Obyada alone now survivedto carry on the struggle. Neverdoubting the issue, Pluck settled downpatiently, his attention divided betweenthe cave and the woman at his side,whose glittering eyes followed Pluck'severy movement with bitter hatred intheir depths.

"I wont harm you if you give nosignal," he told her, but though sheremained motionless Bhe spoke no word.

Presently the policeman in the creekbroke cover and dashed for the cave.The outlaw's rifle spoke, and the officerfell face downwards and lay still. Pluckimmediately fired at the loophole. Hesaw the outlaw's rifle flung into the airanej, inferring that his shot had gothome, rushed down the face of thehill, crossed the creek, and mountedthe hill opposite till he reached thecave. Springing over the parapet heconfronted a levelled revolver held bythe Indian, who lay wounded on theground. Pluck's pistol spoke simul-taneously with Obyada's; then thepoliceman dropped and both men layvery still.

Like a faint, far-away echo a soundgradually took shape in Pluck's con-sciousness. He recognised it as thecrooning of the old woman, who nowseemed to be singing a song of trinmph.It was full dayight, and raising himselfpainfully on his elbow he cast a com-prehensive look round. He saw thewoman on the plateau, the policemanlying face downwards, and three Indians—all dead—sprawled in the cave closeby him. He himself, he discovered, wasbadly wounded somewhere in the lowerpart of the body and unable to movehis legs.

When night fell the crooning ceased,and through the long hours of darknessthe awesome silence of the prairiehovered over the scene. Poor Pluck,tortured by the pain of his wound,hovered between wakefulness andunconsciousness.

Reinforcements, luckily, arrived withdaybreak. Two of Pluck's companions,it was discovered, were dead, shotthrough the head. The other, likehimself, was seriously wounded, whilethe thrco outlaws were stone-dead. Upon the plateau they found the body ofthe old lady. There was no trace ofa wound upon her; she had evidentlydied from exhaustion, and heartbreak.

As speedily as possible the dead andwounded were conveyed to Edmonton.Pluck reaching the city feverish andunconscious. When, many days after-wards, ho reported at headquarters, hewas still lame from hia wound, and tohis great regret ho was finally com-pelled to hand in his resignation, forthe R.N.W.M.P. have no use for acrippled man.

FEMALE SOLOMON.TORONTO'S LADY JUSTICE.

Toronto's woman magistrate, Mrs. Mar-garet Patterson, was called npon In hercourt to rival the late Jndge Solomon Inwisdom, when two women presented theirclaima to one man, who Is the husband ofboth of them.

The charge wasbigamy, but neither Mrs.Patterson nor the prosecutor consideredthis an ordinary case of matrimonialfelony.

William Everfngham, serving overseaswith the Canadian army, was called beforehis colonel in 1916 and notified that hi* wifewas dead. This was an official despatchfrom Ottawa.

An official wrote In his paybook: "Wifedead." He signed over his allowance tohis mother, who had the care of his littledaughter, Florence. He waa later woundedand Invalided to England.

During three years of his convalescence,the wife, whom he thought dead, but nowIs alive, sent him no communication, hesaid in his evidence. He returned toCanada In 1919. Believing himself awidower in 1920 he married Dorothy Mills.

A few weeks ago hla first wife stoodbefore him and pointed a living and accus-ing finger at him in the witness box. Hewas accused of bigamy. The case wasadjourned for investigation. It seems thatOttawa had made a mistake. It hadreceived a letter from some person un-known containing the information that Mr*.William Everlngham waa dead and had sentthe Information to the war front.| When interviewed he said: "Ottawa gotmc into this trouble. Ottawa should getmc out of it."I Magistrate Margaret Patterson orderedjthe acquittal of William Everlngham.

It came out in evidence that the militiaauthorities at Ottawa were erroneouslynotified that the first Mrs. Everlngham waadead and the husband had no reason todoubt the accuracy of the information tillafter he had remarried and had a littlefamily by the second wife. His counsel Incourt stated that Everlngham would nowtake proceedings for divorce from his firstwife I

CHAPTER XLin.LEONIE IN WONDERLAND

Leonie gazed in rapt admiration at a.beauty apparatus coyly embedded inth white tiled wall. It consisted ofeight little glass doors, a few inchessquare, with a slot below for the inser-tion of a coin.

Behind the little doors were talcumpowders, tooth-pastes, unguents, face-powders, brushes and the like.

"Pop in a quarter, and out flies one"8purchase!" laughed the other. "Thehotel-management forgets nothing forone's comfort."

They went back into Leonie's big bed-room, and Lady Warrington picked upthe telephone which stood on a smallreading-table by the tiedside:—

"Chicken salad, coffee and icecream."

In a miraculously short time a waiterappeared, carrying a small table wrap-ped in linen. He removed its folds, re-vealing the feast spread for the new-comers.

"Such efficiency!" murmured the Eng-lish girl, astounded. Everything wascomplete, down to the ice-water whichis the accompaniment of every Americanmeal, and the coffee sizzling above alittle alcohol lamp.

"Just ask for anything down thetelephone," observed Lady Warrington"and it comes, all right! Do you wanta suit pressed? Or a chaperone? Astenographer? Or a shopping guide'Do you want hairpins- Or a mani-curist? Or a beauty treatment? They'nall ready for you at a moment's notice!'

The two girls thoroughly enjoyed thtdainty little meal, so exquisitely servedand at its conclusion inquired of th<hotel telephone service for some information concerning possible amusement for the evening.

In the midst of a businesslike statement of current hotel and cabare:frivolity the annunciator from the lobbitrilled a little warning.

Leonie tripped daintily over antanswered the message. "Gentleman tcsee Miss Leonie Day."

"Send him up, please," was Leonie'iresponse, and in a few moments thenwas announced "Mr. Miles Holden."

Leonie ran to meet him with a prettjfluttering gesture of delight.

"Oh, Miles, I am so glad to see you!Isn't Xew York a wonderful place! Ancaren't the people charming?"

Miles, who looked a trifle worriedgreeted Leonie in a distantly Jover-lik<manner, and then turned to speak t<Lady Warrington, who was regardinghis handsome figure with evidemadmiration.

He then turned to Leonie."Americans are extremely hospit

able," said Miles. "You will be rusher)to death, but youll get so acclimatised that you'll be able to get througttwice as much in the social way aiyou could at home."

Leonie learned the truth of this.Miles himself was much engaged. H<

had business appointments all thaievening, greatly to his financee's chagrin. Business ought never to usurp th«place of attentions to her own fanself!

Mr. Sturtevant called up and toolLady Warrington and herself to "ThtFollies" that night. It was a mongorgeous spectacle than anything Leonithad ever seen—Paris included.

During the interval, they went out t<the lofoby, and she immediately lit icigarette. An attendant approache<her, asking her to desist. If she desiretto smoke, there was a room belowstairs for that purpose.

"How ridiculous!" said Miss Leoniedispleased.

They went below, to find the smalroom packed with smokers, and the aiheavy.

"I shan't smoke at all, if I can't d<it where and when I want to!" Sh<shrugged her shoulders. "Talk abousardines in a can! And every one s<amiable about it!"

After the show, they went on to :very famous cabaret, where Leonie'good-humour was quite restored.

"It's like an Arabian-nights' story!!she exclaimed.

CHAPTER XLIV.A CURIODS ENCOUNTER.

LeonTe and Lady Warrington eat wititheir host in a sort of little bower beside a trickling waterfall, under exquisitely-shaded lights that made eveithe plain pretty, the pretty, beautiful

Bald-headed Romeos cavorted gail;withbewitching maidens. Lovers swoonecacross the tiny tables towards eaclother. An intriguing melody croone<from the highest-priced orchestra in th<world.

"Is that a. saxaphone?" she asked, afrom one of the instruments came ilong-drawn, whining note, plaintive ancfascinating.

'It's the muffled trombone. A plantation-darkey calling for his sweetheartDoesn't it sound almost human?" AntMr. Sturtevant leaned towards the faiLeonie, with a killing ogle, which thadamsel returned in full measure, foher escort was both rich and likeable.

He pointed out various Napoleons ofinance to her, and names well known o:Wall Street.

"I didn't think they'd find time trelax like this," commented the Englis!girl. "They don't look as though the;had a care in the world."

Mr. Sturtevant smiled, well-pleased."Oh, we're a many-sided people. An-

We like to please the ladies."Leonie beamed on him."Women are 6poiled over here, aren'

they?-"'"Not more than they deserve to be,

he gallantly replied, tilting up a glaswhose innocuous contents were optimistically labelled as a champagne cocktail, but whose price cruelly corresponded to the real thing! "I drink tyour health and happiness, and the enjoyment we all plan to give you on thivisit to our United States!"

Late one afternoon Miles Holde:walked down Broadway.

It was a street that fascinated hinFor it was Life Incarnate.

In some moods he resented it, de;pised, or even hated it. Its ruthlessness, its tinsel show, its faces satiatewith pleasures that were empty, iifickleness, its tawdry gaiety.

In other moods he loved the stimuli;of it, its quick welcome to success, iigenerosity.

And always it drew him like a magneiJostling "crowds went by him as li

walked down past the Roaring Fortiepast the old flower women whining theiwares past endless little shops whos

1window wero filled with amazingly lpj

priced copies of the newest Paris model,wherewith to tempt the little actorinesthat throng the neighbourhood.

His pace was slow to a saunter, fortime was heavy on his hands. Therewas two hours to kill, before he shouldcall for 'Leonie Day and take her out tosome amusement.

He didn't want to go -with Leonie!Always his thoughts turned with nag-

ging insistency to the other girl athorne—Marcella—whom he had swornhe would forget for ever!

He still loved her, despite all attempt!to hate her and cast her from his life.

Marcella! Image of all that was de-sirable, but at heart so mercenary andso deceiving!

He had been fooled!His eyes were open now, wide open

Marcella* had fallen to the highest bidder, with all the worldly wisdom andcalculation of her sex.

But —try as he would—he could noltear her image from his mind or heartWith feet of clay, his idol had topplecfrom the pedestal"; yet there were time!

!when it seemed to him that she wasnearer, dearer, then she had ever beeibefore!

Marriage with Leonie Day was likia great cloud on the horizon. He cursethimself for the entanglement, being toeinnately fine and chivalrous to see Mis:Leonie's own scheming hand in the affair.

There must be some way out that wahonourable and fair!

He mußt be absolutely honest wit!the girl and tell her that he did nolove ncr as a man should love his futurwife.

Perhaps she did not really care fohim as much as she imagined? On boanship she had been pleased to accept thattentions of other men. A gleam of hop.shone there.

A small crowd stood on the pavemenabout a music shop,"" A large megaphonor trumpet was set neatly through thcentre of the window-pane, magnifyin,the shrill notes of a woman's voice wh—seated at a piano in the interior othe place—was lustily bawling the ver;latest song-hit.

Miles halted for a moment in thdoorway.

"God! What a life for a woman!" bthought, glancing with pitying interesat the peroxide blonde whose livelihooiwas earned in such a curious way.

At the conclusion of the song she roseand flung an alluring smile through thwindow at the pavement crowd.

They gazed at her in semi-boredonN"o one made a move to buy a copy othe piece she'd sung.

"I'll take half a dozen copies," sai<Miles with quick generosity, steppin,forward on an impulse. If she couldn'sell the music, then she would lose hejob, he knew. The owner of the showould hire a younger, more attractivwoman, in the true Broadway mannei

"Thanks. I'm a bit up against it.She rolled the sheets together. Therwith an apathetic glance at him, a sudden gleam of recognition came to hetired blue eyes, and she added quickly

"Guess we've met before?''

CHAPTER XLV.DISILLUSIONED.

"Didn't we meet on board ship, goinover to England?" continued thstranger."I don't remember," Mile

courteously, taking the package froiher hand and paying for it.The yellow-haired woman stared ahim."You were sweet on one of the whitesyoung ladies I have ever known. A rea

angel of, goodness! Say, how is sheMiss Field was the name. She wamighty good to mc!"

Miles coloured up under his tan."She is very well, thanks," he saistiffly."Don't he annoyed that a woman likmc should mention her name," went o

the music-shop singer. "I know I'm noher kind. But that's not to say I can:appreciate a beautiful young lady wheI see one. I don't just mean her faciI mean her character, her kindness."

Miles was silent. The woman's wordfilled him with an intolerable pain.

"I suppose you'll be getting married,she went on wistfully "Well, I wish yoluck, I'm sure." Then she added, witthe frankness of her class: "My owluck's out just now, for my boy's iprison, and afterwards well both hayto leave the country. But 111 stick thim, all right."

Miles went off, wondering. Marcellhad done this creature a kindness . .hadn't the latter been associated withband of crooks?

He ought to have asked the woman'name. But the gaping crowd outsidhad embarrassed him.It didn't really matter. Yet it wa

queer that here on Broadway he shoulhear praise of Marcella.

The day darkened, and the myriatwinkling lights of the Great WhitWay popped up, in' whirling, scintilla!ing, dazzling beauty. They blazeagainst a dark blue sky—tremendotmoving pictures in liquid blue and rosand green and gold!

The famous chewing-gum advertisiment winkedat him witha million sauceyes. Soaring in space were exquisitel;coloured meteors proclaiming the excelence of someone's hoot polish, Bom<body's cold water dye, somebody's motecar. Great cliffs of dazzlement thewere . . . monster fireworks, flashinever and anon into new pictures. Orwas a regiment of soldiers who spranto attention, saluted, whirled round, andisappeared.

"Was there ever such a place?" Mileasked himself, with an amused smili

| though a load still weighed on his hearHe must go in search of food somewherand started to retrace his steps in thdirection of Columbus Circle.

The hard white lights of all the littl"stores" had sprung out now, givingqueer pallor to the sea of faces theswept by. Such differing types of fact—Semitic, Scandinavian, Latin, Greek

What a great melting-pot this countiwas! And, sooner or later, they aseemed to flock to Broadway.

Mileswalked onwards, past the line <imotor char-a-bancs that were hung witlighted Chinese lanterns, and labelle; invitingly: "Come for a trip to Chini

i town."Gay little theatrical cafes were fillir

with their evening clientele.i" Here were found the gay, rather vti, gar Broadway hangers-on. Flashi

dressed, temporarily opulent, they fillt! these brightly lighted, noisy cafes, lot•in ihaiz exaltation, oror having pUc*d

successful het on the right horse, or hav-ing secured a contract -with a second-rate producer.

The slightest miefortune, the verybreath of disaster, -would dispel theirmerriment, and send their house of cardstumbling to earth. Yet, -while their for-tune lasted, no matter on how insecurefoundations, there were none gayer thanthese in the great city. . ,

Further on, Holdencame to the regionof the smart supper clubs and 6martercabarets. These were but scantily fillednow, but Miles knew that later theywould be crowded—and with how differ-ent a set of people from those who fre-quented the theatrical cafes.

Here there would be no boisterousmerriment over a dubious fortune, butthe smug, comfortable enjoyment of: those who know that the bank accountinvariably 6hows six figures on the rightside of the line. I

Here would presently come the sea-'son's most prominent debutantes, dozensof them, all equally correct a9tomar-celled coiffure, jewelled ear-rings, super-cilious eyebrows, exquisitely-shod feet—and all bearing that unmistakable lookof wealth and boredom that marks thetrue aristocrat. ,

Within a few short blocks, two dif-ferent worlds!

Miles' destination was a small French .restaurant in a basement, with a bolteddoor which the maitre d'hotel himself

I opened at a given signal of the push-|button, fearful of the police.I He was known here, and welcomed. A|ibottle of "yin ordinaire"—in dayß before |prohibition looked on as the poor man's jdrink, but now, "faute de mieux," pre-cious as nectarl—was placed before himjwith the table d'hote meal, and Madame .Iherself, stout and bustling, mixed for IIhim a teacup of queer,rather deadly con- 1'coction. which she optimistically called aI"dry Martini." I

"Changed time, 'M'sieur!" she wheezed. I"It has ruined us, this prohibition. Toothers, more venturesome and daring, it

1has brought ze fortune. My Lucien istoo timid. If he would but make of the; jpolice his friends, then we should be; Irich, rich!" She 6ighed gustily.

1 It was not Lucien alone who wasI timid. Many of the diners sat ncr-I vously on the very edge of their chairs,1j as though expecting a raid at any' jmoment. [

"This beastly stuff isn't worth their|pains and fears," thought Miles, sippinghis synthetic cocktail with the distaste

' of a connoisseur. I: His meal ended, he emerged into the j' jstreet again, and headed for Leonie's I! jpalatial hotel. Dancing attendance onI! jthe girl had grown extremely irksome.She was exacting, petulant, and fre-quently forgot the role of flatterer and

! sympathiser, at which she had invari-ably been past mistress. "My own

I fault!" the disillusioned young man told1 himself, with a wry twist at the cornerof his well-cut mouth. "I never lovedher, and I was a fool and worse to get

' into this infernal muddle!"(To be continued Saturday next.)

The Secret AdversaryBY AGATHA CHRISTIE

PROLOGUE.It was 2 p.m. on the afternoon o

May 7, 1915. The Lusitania had bee;struck by two torpedoes in succcssioiand was sinking rapidly, while the boatwere being launched with all possiblspeed. The women and children wer

|being lined up awaiting their turriSome still clung desperately to hus|bands and fathers; others clutched theichildren closely to their breasts. Ongirl stood alone, slightly apart fror— the rest. She was quite young, nomore than eighteen. She did not seerafraid, and her grave, steadfast eyelooked straight ahead.

"I beg your pardon."A man's voice beside her made he

start and turn. She had noticed thspeaker more than once amongst th(irst-class passengers. There had beeia hint of mystery about him which ha<appealed to her imagination. He spokto no one. If anyone spoke to him hiwas quick to rebuff the overture. Alsihe had a nervous way of looking ove:his shoulder with a swift, suspiciou!glance.

She noticed now that he was greatliagitated. There were "'beads of perspiration on his brow. He was cvidently in a 6tate of overmastering fearAnd yethe did not strike her as the kin<of man who would be afraid to mcci

jdeath."Yes?". Her grave eyes met his in

quiringly.He stood looking at her with a kinc

of desperato irresolution."It must be!" he muttered to himself

,fYes—it is the only way." Then aloudhe said abruptly: "You are an American?"

"Yes.""A patriotic one?"The girl flushed."I guess you've no right to ask suet

a thing! Of course I am!""Don't be offended. You wouldn't b«

if you knew how much there was alstake. But I've got to trust some one—and it must be a woman."

"Why?""Because of 'women and childrer

first.' " He looked round andpowered

' his voice. "I'm carrying papers—vitally important papers. They makeall the difference to the Allies in thewar. You understand. These papershave got to be saved. They've morechance with you than with mc. Willyou take them?"

The girl held out her hand."Wait—I must warn you. There may

be risk—if I've been followed. I don'taji think I'have, but one never knows. If™ so, there will be danger. Have you the

nerve to go through with it?"The girl smiled. "I'll go through with

it all right. I'm real proud to bechosen. What am I to do with themafterwards?"

'Watch the newspapers. 11l adver-tise in the personal column of the

.'Times,' beginning 'Shipmate.' At tneend of three days if there's nothing—well, you'll know I'm «*own and out.Then take the packet to ".he AmericanEmbassy, and deliver it into the Am-bassador's own hands, lt that clear?"

"Quite clear.""Then be ready—trm gotng to say

good-bye." He took her hand in hi*.'•Good-bye. Good luck to you,"-he saidin a louder tone. ,

Her hand closes} on the oilskin packetthat had lain in his palm. The Lusi-tania settled with a more decided listto starboard. In answer to a quickcommand the girl went forward to takeher place in the boat.

CHAPTER I.THE YOUNG ADVENTURERS, LTD."Tommy, old thing!"'Tuppence, old bean!"The two young people greeted each

other affectionately, and momentarilyblocked the Dover Street tube exit indoing so. The adjective "old" was mis-leading. Their united ages wouldcertainly not have totalled forty-five.

"Not seen you for simply centuries,"continued the young man. "Where areyou off to? Come and chew a bun witlimc. We're getting a bit unpopular here—blocking tne gangway, as it were.Let's get out of it."

The girl assenting, they started walk-iiiT down Dover Street towards Picca-dilly.

"Now then," said Tommy, "whereshall we go?"

The very faint anxiety which underlayhis tone did not escape the astute earsof Miss Prudence iOowley, known to herintimate friends for some mysteriousreason as "Tuppence." She pounced atonce.

"Tommy, you're stony!""Not a bit of it," declared Tommy un-

convincingly. "Rolling in cash.""You always were a shocking liar,"

said Tuppence severely, "though youdid once persuade Sister Greenbankthat the doctor ordered you iheer as atonic, but had forgotten to write it onthe chart. Do you remember?"

Tommychuckled."I should think I did! Wasn't the

old cat in a rage when she found out?Not that she was a 'bad sort really, oldMother Greenbank! Good old hospital—demobbed like everything else, 1suppose?"

Tuppence sighed."Yes. You too?"Tommy nodded.'Two months ago.""Gratuity?" hinted Tuppence."Spent.""Oh, Tommy!""No, old thing, not in riotous dissi-

pation. No such luck! The cost otliving—ordinary plain, or garden livingnowadays is, I assure you, if you donot know—■—"

"My dear child," interrupted Tup-pence, "there is nothing I do not knowabout the cost of living. Here we areat Lyons', and we will each of us payfor our own. That's that!" And Tup-pence led the way upstairs.

They were an essentiallyv modern-looking couple as they sat there. Tup-pence had no claim to 'beauty, but therewas characterand charm in the elfin linesof her little face, with its determinedchin and large, wide-apart grey eyesthat looked mistily out from understraight, black brows. She wore asmall bright green toque over her blackbobbed hair, and her extremely shortand rather shabby skirt revealed a pairof uncommonly dainty ankles. Herappearance presented a valiant attemptat smartness.

The tea came at last, and Tuppence,rousing herself from a fit of meditation,poured it' out.

"Now. then," said Tommy, taking alarge bite of bun, "let's get up-to-date.Remember, I haven't seen you since thattime in hospital in 1916."

"Very well." Tuppence helped herselfliberally to buttered toast. "Abridgedbiography of Miss Prudence Cowley, fifthdaughter of Archdeacon Cowley, of LittleMissendell, Suffolk.

Ward-maid clearly to blame! Inattention insuch important matters cannot be toohighly censured. Mop aud pail again!How are the mighty fallen. Ninthmonth: Promoted to sweeping outwards, where I found a friend of mychildhood in Lieutenant Thomas Beres-ford (bow, Tommy!), whom I had notseen for five years. The meeting wasaffecting! Tenth month: Reproved bymatron for visiting the pictures in com-pany with one of the patients, namely,the aforementioned Lieutenant ThomasBeresford. Eleventh and twelfthmonths: Parlourmaid duties resumedwith entire success. At the end of theyear left hospital in a blaze of glory.After that, the talented Miss Cowleydrove successively a trade delivery van,a motor lorry, and a general. The lastwas the pleasautest. He was quite ayoung general!"

"What blighter was that?" inquiredTommy, "perfectly sickening the waythose brass hats drove from the WarOffice to the Savoy, and from the Savoyto the War Office!"

"I've forgotten his name now," con-fessed Tuppence. "To resume, that wasin a way the apex of my career. I nextentered a Government office. We hadseveral very enjoyable tea parties. Ihad intended to become a land, girl, apostwoman, and a bus conductress byway of rounding off my career—but thearmistice intervened! I clung to theoffice with the true limpet touch formany long months, but, alas, I wascombed out at last. Since then I'vebeen looking for a job. Now then—your turn."

"There's not so much promotion inmine," said Tommy regretfully, "anda great deal less variety. I went out toFrance again as you know. Then theysent mc to Mesopotaniaj and I gotwounded for the second time, and wentinto hospital out there. Then I gotstuck iv Egypt till the armistice hap-pened, kicked my heels there some timelonger, and, as I told you, finally gotdemobbed. And, for ten long wearymonths I've been job hunting! Therearen't any jobs! And, if there were,they wouldn't give 'em to mc. Whatgood am I? What do I know aboutbusiness ? Nothing."

Tuppence nodded gloomily."What about the colonies?" she sug-

gested. Tommy shook his head."I shouldn't nke the. colonies—and I'm

perfectly certain they wouldn't likemc!"

"Rich relations?"Again Tommy shook his head."Oh, Tommy, not even a great-aunt?""I've got an old uncle who is more or

less rolling, but he's no good.""Why not?""Wanted to adopt mc once. I refused.""I think I remember hearing about

it," said Tuppence slowly. "You refusedbecause* of your mother " Tommylushed.

"Yes, it would have been a bit rough>n the mater. As you know, I was allshe had. Old boy hated her—wanted to;et mc away from her. Just a bit ofipite."

"Your mother's dead, isn't she?" saidTuppence gently. Tommy nodded.

Tuppence's large grey eyes lookednisty.

"You're a good sort, Tommy, I alwaysknew it."

"Rot!""said Tommy hastily. "Well,that's my position. I'm just aboutdesperate."

"So am I! I've hung out as long as Icould. I've touted round. I've answeredadvertisements. I've tried every mortalblessed thing. I've screwed and savedand pinched! But It's no good. I shallhave to go home!"

"Don't you want to?""Of course I don't want to! What's

the good of being sentimentalJ Father'sa. dear—l'm awfully fond of him, butyou've no idea how I worry him! Helias that delightful early Victorian ideathat short skirts and smoking areimmoral. You can imagine what a thornin the flesh I am to him! He just heavedl.sigh of relief when the war took mc)ff. You see, there are seven of us atlome. It's awful! All housework andnothers' meetings! I have always beenJiechangeling. I don't want to go back,Hit,— oh, Tommy, what else is thereado!" I

"Of course," resumed Tuppence, "mar- I'iage is my best chance. I made up mynind to marry money when I was quite'oung. Any thinking girl would! I'mlot eentimental, you know." She paused.Come now, you can't say I'm sentimen-

tal," she added sharply."Certainly not," agreed Tommyhastily. "No one would ever think of

sentiment in connection with you.""That's not very polite," replied Tup-

pence. "But I dare say you mean it allright. Well, there it is! I'm ready andwilling—but I never meet any richmen! All the boys I know are about ashard up as I am."

"What about the general?" inquiredTommy.

"I fancy he keeps a bicycle shop intime of peace, explained Tuppence."No, there it is! Now you could marrya rich girl."

"I'm like you. I don't know any.""That doesn't matter. You can always

get to know one. Now, if I see a man ina fur coat come out of the Ritz I can'trush up to him and say: 'Look here,you're rich. I'd like to know you.'."

"Do you suggest thatI should do thatto a similarly garbed female?""Don't be silly. You tread on her foot,

or pick up her handkerchief, or some-thing like that. If she thinks you want Ito know her she's flattered, and will Imanage it for you somehow." I

"You overrate my manly charms," Imurmured Tommy. I"On the other hand," proceeded Tup- flpence, "my millionaire would probably Irun for his life! No—marriage is flfraught with difficulties. Remains—to Inake money!" 8"We've tried that, and failed," Tommy flreminded her. fl"We've tried all the orthodox ways, fl

ires.But suppose we try the unorthodox. Hrommy, let's be adventurers!" I"Certainly," replied Tommy cheer- fliully. "How do we beginjt" I

"That's the difficulty. If we couldmake ourselves known, people mighthire us to commit crimes for them."

"Delightful," commented Tommy, "es-pecially coming' from, a clergyman'sdaughter!"

"Don't rag. Look here, Tommy, shallwe really? Shall we form a businesspartnership?"

"That was only an illustration. Let'shave a—what do you call it in book-keeping?"

"Don't know. Never did any.""I have—but I have always got mixed

up, and used to put credit entries onthe debit side, and vice versa—so theyfired mc out Oh, I know—a joint ven-ture! It struck mc as such a romanticphrase to come across in the middle ofmusty figures. It's got an Elizabethanflavour about it—makes one think ofgalleons and doubloons. A joint ven-ture !"

"Trading under the name of theYoung Adventurers, Ltd.? Is that youridea, Tuppence?"

"It's all very well to laugh, hut I feelthere might be something in it."

"How do you propose to get in touchwith your would-be employers?"

"Advertisement," replied Tuppence,promptly. "Have you got a bit of paperand pencil? Men usually seem to havo.Just like we have hairpins and powder-pull's."

Tommy handed over a rather shabbygreen notebook, and Tuppence beganwriting busily.

"Xow listen—how's this? 'Two youngadventurers for hire. Willing to doanything, go anywhere. Pay must be jgood.' (We might as well make thatclear from the start). Then we mightadd: 'No reasonable offer refused'—likeflats and furniture."

"I should think any offer we get inanswer to that would be a pretty un-reasonable one!"

"Tommy! You're a genius! That'sever so much more chic. 'No unreason-able offer refused—if pay is good.' How'sthat?" ;

"I shouldn't mention pay again. It,looks rather eager.""It couldn't look as eager as I feel!

But perhaps you are right. Now I'llread it straight through. Two youngadventurers for hire. Willing to doanything, go anywhere. Pay must begod. No unreasonable offer refused.'How would that strike you if you readit?" . •*

"It would strike mc as either beinga hoax, or else written by a lunatic."Tommy was holding the paperthoughtfully. HA face burned a deeperIred. »"Shall we really try it?" he said at !last. "Shall we, Tuppence? Just forIthe fun of the thing?" I"Tommy, you're a sport* I knew you Iwould be! Let's drink to success." She !

poured some cold dregs of tea into thetwo cups."Here's to our joint venture, and mayit prosper!""The Young Adventurers, Ltd.!" re-sponded Tommy.The two young people went off inopposite Tuppence's hostelwas situated in what was charitablycalled Southern Belgravia. For reasons

of economy she did not take a bus.(To be continued daily.) i

CHURCH AND LABOUR.

IS A NEW ERA DAWNING?

(By WORKER..

-1 •■ i~ a hopeful and gratifying signthat Churchmen in solemn conclaveassembled tind time for discussing atsome length the relation of the Churchto Labour, its aims, and aspirations.This marks a new era in our industriallife, and may veil be the dawning ofa better day. the seed from which shallspring the tree whoso loaves are forthe healing of th6nations.

That betwixt organised Labour andthe Church there is a great gulf fixedno nno can deny, and any honest, open-minded attempt to bridge the chasm■will be welcomed by all the best ele-ments in the movemeut, for the Churchand Labour working together can domuch for the uplifting ot humanity.

'Ihe fact that Labour regards the.Church with suspicion is in a greatmeasure her own fault, for she hasmissed many opportunities of making thocause of her poorer brethren her own,and of p.pplying the principles of Christ-ianity to the everyday business of life.We have outgrown the days of cushionedspats for the rich, while the poor dangledtheir legs from tho wooden forms, butthe attitude of the Church if not one |of active opposition is still largely oneIof aloofness and apathy.

During the last two decades there havebeen golden opportunities, hut she hasremained inactive when her duty layin movement, or disappointedher pooreradherents by passing by on the otherside.

Missed Opportunities.The old-world idea that one should be

content in that station of life "whereunto it hath pleased God to call U9,"has, one fears, been misconstrued, andtoo often applied to one class of the jcommunity only.

The poor we have always with ns is 'a comfortable phrase, but is it not ratherthe duty of a great institution thatteaches love of God, and one's duty toone's neighbour, to study out the cause,and haply find a, remedy for that pov-erty, otherwise she stands self convictedof false pretence? j

Labour in the past had good causeto look askance upon the Church, forall down tho centuries whenever thedown-trodded peasant rose against hisoppressors, she ever made common cause■with the State to rivet the chains evermore firmly.

That the application of thegolden ruleto the lives of the workers was possibledoes not seem to have occurred to iher;and so instead of becoming a greathuman instrument of service, she missedher calling, and Baw not the sin andsuffering that abounded even in the sha-dow of her cathedrals. Whilst receiv-ing in her life-time her good things shedenied them to others, and tacitly gaveher consent to the exploitation ofhumanity, by raising no protestingvoice against the industrial iniquitiesthat were common, in all her parishes.I

Policy of Aloofness. jIn later years, and in our own time,'

she has looked coldly on at the strugglesfor justice and equity, that brought nsliberty of thought, and action, and byher apathy has estranged many whounder proper guidance would have carr jried her banner up into the mountaintops, that stand out bright in the sun-shine of brotherly love and faith in ione's own kind. N j

That workers are out of sympathy iwith the Church is true to a certain ,extent; but there are thousands whowould welcome a really honest lead |toward the uplifting and brightening of .the drab lives of the average workers.

There are, one knows, some who willtell us that now I/abour hasarecognisedplace, and can no longer be ignored,andthe party is a factor to be reckoned'•with in practical politics, the Church is I■willing to bury the hatchet; but one pre-fer3 to regard tho change as areal heart change, a recognition [that if our profession is to be a living ithing it must be applied to the indivi°dual-life for a steady upward, movementtoward the clearer air.

A Magnificent Opportunity.Would we save from

the fate of Tyre and Sidon, then we 'must pull together for the bettermentof the race, and "from, pride released,"work for the ultimate good of all man-kind.The house divided against itseK can-not stand in the day of trial, neithercan the differing elements th*t makefor righteousness, peace, and prosperityin our national life accomplish much ifpulling in opposite directions. There islittle cause to cavil at others' short-comings, let us close our ranks aga-nstthe common enemy; letLabour see thvta fair day's work iB as necessary as fotthe employer to be honest in his deal-ings; that a go-slow policy is as dis-honest as profiteering, and that both arecontemptible.Let us as workers take the Church'slead as at least a sincere desire to atonefor the mistakes of the past, and joinhands to lead humanity up to the higherplane, the better country, and to apply 'the principles of the Gospel to our busi-!ness and industrial life; for herein lies!the /only hope of a panacea for thevarious ills that are causing men'shearts to fail for fear, and are like topush our boasted civilisation back intothe abyss. j

SURPLUS BUFFALO TO BESLAUGHTERED.

The Dominion of Canada has 2000 surplusbuffaloand they are to be slaughtered. Thecontract for the slaughter has been givenby Order-in-Council to A. S. Duclos, ofEdmonton.

The once-wanted members of a race ofanimals which had been showing signs ofdisappearing are now numerous on therange at the national park at Walnwright.For some years the Dominion Governmenthas been paying special attention to thopreservation of theso animals, and so suc-cessful has this work been that the accom-modation in the parks is being overtaxed.Two thousand of the buffaloes are to heslaughtered this fall and the meat andskins sold.
