IN a recent sensational flight the newsreports stated that the Aviator suf-

feredfromCRACKED LIPS.

Exposure to the sun and wind is respon-sible for this. Cracked Lips are mostpainful, and, if neglected, scabby soresdevelop. Just now these disfigurements,as well as peeling skin on the face, arefairly prevalent, and thoughtless i'olU whohave neglected to use Q-tol as a protectiveekin emollient are suffering' intense dis-comfort,especially at meal-time.

PETONE CLUBThe P^tone Rifle Club fired a further

competition counting for the club cham-'piouships, Flaws Cup, and third shortrange handicap series.-'at Trentbam oaSaturday, ranges 500 and 600 yards. Theweather was fine, but Trentham was in. ~ono of its most fitful moods,and for themost part it was necessaryto make sev-■ eral degrees of alteration between eachshot in order to "keep in step" with theconditions- The shooting on Saturdaycompleted the short rangeportion of this

" season's championshipseries,and the finalshoot over the 800 and 900 yardranges will, take place next Saturday. Over30 mem-bers have competed in all the champion-ship matches;so that the rivalry in eachgrade has been particularly keen. On.Saturday the scoring at the 500. yardrangewas fair; but at the 600 yard distance thewind was so gusty and changeable thatit' caused (several competitors to miss thetarget altogether, and low scoring resulted.R. H. Nicholl gave a glimpse o£his trueform when he topped the scoring at the500 yard distance with a good 48,followedby J. Hunter and O. Pedersen with 48each,and.F. Harris 45. At.600 yards N.E. Solomonregistered top score with agood 47,with AY. H. Ballinger next 46, G.Old 45, F. Harris 44. The best aggre-gates off the guv wcro far short of theclub standard; but were' in keeping with,the difficult, conditions. W: H. Ballinger

1and R. H. Nicholl each totalled 90, N. F.Solomon and F. Harris 80, G. Old and O.Pedersen SS. W. H. Ballinger furtherincreased his lead iv the club champion-ship as a result of Saturday's shooting.The spoon winners for the day were R,'H. Nicholl and W. H. Ballinger in A;

POSTPONED BAND CONTESTSeveral correspondents have written to

"The Post" commenting on the decisionto postpone the band contest. "SevernSuite" states:— '"Much regret and inconvenience by allthe bands,as well as the general public,will be felt by the postponement of themuch-looked-forcontest: This contestwas decided on two years ago,and consid-erable time and moneyhave been expendedby bands in training for same, and I wouldlike to ask why the local committee hasbacked down at such a close date to theevent, when every preparation has beenmade on all sides. Surely it is not onaccount «of depression or the earthquake,for the Wellington body have a large sur-plus of cash from previous contests,, andto make certain of finance this time, theprofits could have been donated to relieffunds, and the visiting bands could haveassisted in a massed demonstration forthe same cause. Now that the contest isoff, will all other events of sport andamusement be cancelled in Wellington?... It cannot be a fear of financial lossthat has been the deciding factor by thecommittee,for the public have not seen acontest here since 1927,and large audi-ences are assured;beside the attractionof at least seventeen bands and follow-ers in the cfty, for which accommodationhas sfisobeen secured;what, then, is thecause of this bitter setback to bands andsoloists, and music lovers jn general.Perhaps the Contest Committee will ex-plain'!"

"Allegro"writes: "The decision lias caus-ed keen disappointment amongst "localbandsmen, not to mention bands else-where. If the present depression isthe cause (which, the Contest Committeeomitted to mention), surely they realisedthat two months ago; it would have sav-ed time and worry if it had been aban-doned then,but to wait until within threeweeks of the contest and then postponeit, when all bands interested had putnight after night ot practicing hard, notto mention the heavy expense each bands-man incurred, demands some explanation.Jn my opinion the committee has lost agolden opportunity; they could have heldthe contest and devoted half the proceedsto the Mayor's Earthquake Relief Fund,and I am positive that the public wouldhave attended justas well as in previousyears. The quick-step competition itselfwould have produced at least £500. Theuse of the Town Hall could have beenobtained at a reduced rate for the week,as well as Athletic Park for the quick-step. There are four bands left in thoA grade and about eight or nine in the Bgrade which would have made it veryinteresting. Moreover .it w:ould have-given the bandsmen a chance to demon-strate in a practical manner their sym-pathy with earthquake sufferers."

ENTERTAINMENTSREGENTTHEATRE AND GRAND OPERA

HOUSE.'t Modem warfare on land lias been depleted

on the talking screen lv several pictures, not-ably "All Quiet on the Western Front," andfighting in tho air lias also provided scopefor scenario writers In more than one produc-tion, but none of these has surpassed Inrealfm "Hell's Angels," at the Kegent Theatreand Grand Opera House. The picture is in-tended to illustrate the part played lv theGreat War by ihe air corps, and tho scenesit contains give- a striking Insight into thehazards which faced the aviators and the workthey were called upon to perform. The pro-

roguegives pre-war glimpses of a Germanholiday resort a^iilOxford University, the cen-tral figures being two American students,Monte and ]toy Rutledge (Ben Lyon and JameaHall) and a German(student, Karl Arnstcdt(John Darrow). Monte is a lady-killer lack-ing the physical' courage of his brother, andKarl Is a peace-loving youth who has developedduring his years at Oxford an affection forthe English people." The outbreak of hosrtillttes finds Karl recalled to fight for theFatherland, and Itoy and Monte (the latterfalling a victim to a pretty female patriot, whooffered kisses In return for signatures to re-cruiting forms) joining the British Air Force.The' next scene—an awe-Inspiring one—deals"with a Zeppelin raid on London. Karl is letdown from the airship at the end of a steelrope to give the signal for the dropping ofthe bombs, but cannot bring himself to loosedeath on to the harmless city and, at bisdirection, the projectiles fall harmlessly Intothe Pool of London. Monte and Roy are inone. of the 'planes sent up to bring the Zep-pelin down, and the Impressions caused by thosight of the 'planes chasing the giant tube-can only bo gathered by seeing and hearing thestrange fight in the clouds; A series of thrillswhich Include the dropping of men from theZeppelin In an endeavour to lighten her loadand enable her to increase her altitude, cul-minate in the self-sacrificing crash of aBritish airman "into the gas-filled envelope tobring it down in flames. The remainder ofthe action is laid in France, and all themotion photographer's art is brought into playto present with startling realism battles wagedthousands of feet above the earth by squad-rons of opposing 'planes. The picture leavesits audience silent and thoughtful, so power-fully dramatic is it, and it - should not bemissed by any who desire to see somethingwell out of the ordinary. The love interestdoes not greatly Intrude, but Jean Harlow ismostly responsible for It as Helen, a blondewho felt that life was short and should bemade as sweet, is possible.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

VERTIGERN AT LASTMAIN/RACE AT HAWERA

CHOP IX SOMEWHAT UNLUCKY

yfe\\ placed on the rail throughout,Vertigern, who has been shoeing every

evidence of returning to form in his re-cent races, scored neatly at the finish ofthe Tonks Stakes, the main handicapevent on the final day of the EgmontRacing Club's Summer Meeting on Sat-urday. Only Otairi had been able to boathim iii the Egmont Cup, on Thursday,after he had looked a winner a hundredyards from the post, and the improvementon that effort was freely anticipated. Hewas going better at the close than any-

thing else, except perhaps the secondhorse,Chopin, who was compelled to go

wide qver the last'half mile. Vertigern'had not had a success since he beat apoor field at the Otaki Spring Meeting.but now that he has struck a winningvein he may be worth following.

..■',In therace, Silvermine and Melissa made'■:the early running from Vertigern andThe "Swell, with First Acre, Monalof,Paitonu, and Chopin nearest of the others.

;First Acre ran to the front at the half-mile, and was followed across the topl>y The Swell, Silvermine,Melissa, Ver-tigern, Monalof, and-Chopin. First AcreindThe Swell turned for home aheadof Silvermine,Melissa, Vertigern, Mona-lof, and Chopin (wide out), but Vertigerncame through at the distance, and, sus-taining his effort, cut down Silvermine'and withstood a strong challenge fromChopin, to win by half a length fromChopin, Silvermine being a head furtherback. The Swellwas a fair 'fourth, andnext were High Falutin', Bright Glow,First Acre, Monalof, Paitonu, and Mcl-

Silvermine,in spite of his failure in theEgmont Cup, was entrusted with thestrongest support, but Vertigern wag onlya little less fancied. There were gooddrops to Chopin,- High Falutin', andBright Glow, Silvermine went betterthan he did on Thursday, and at the topof the straight it looked as though he-might win, but again he lacked his cus-tomary brilliance at the end. His con-fident backing was 'due .to-excellent re-cent track work. Chopin would probablyhaVe succeeded had he been better plac-ed early, and had not had to go. wideon the turn. He was one, of the' fittesthorses racing at the meeting, and theonly factor that prevented him doingbetter than he did was his inability tomove away with his fields. High Falu-tin' and Bright Glow went fair., raceswithout ever being dangerous. Tho latterwas having her first outing since October,■and the. race should work a lot of im-

provement in her. First Acre attemptedunusual tactics by going to the lead halfa mile from home,but he was unable tosustain his effort further than to thestraight. His. sequence of recent poor

■showings is difficult, to understand,afterJu"s.;;excellentform in" Australia duringthe late spring.

SURPRISE IN SPRINT

ARISUS SCORES.NARROW WIN

Arisua, who has been confidently back-ed on several occasions since he won a ,sprint at the Marton Summer Meeting,■but has failed each time, sprang a sur-prise in the Wairaate Handicap, the open isprint at Hawera on Saturday, for he was itho outsider of the field o£ four, and 'in winning paid an unusually good price

.for such a contest. It was an excellentfinish, the three .placed horses crossing .the line with only short heads betweenthem., v " : ."'.

Tenterden , and Ridgcniount were the*first out, but when the field had;settled;

■down Tenterden was leading GoldDawn,Ridgemount, and Arisus, and they turn-

', ed for home in this order. Gold Dawn,'tvas, the first to: challenge-'the-'.leader, ancV■shp'drew.up to him inside the distance,"tbut Arigus had begun a strong run downthe outside, and he sustained his effortdeterminedlyto gain the mastery a stride

-from the post, beating Gold Dawn by ashort head,' with a like distance, back :

..to Tenterden. The favourite,Ridgemount,

' was a length and a half back...-■' -Much credit for ■ Arisus's victory is dueto- his rider (W. BrbughtonJi who let

" him gallop smoothly behind the others till;; the straight was reached,and withheld[

his;main effort till that.point. Brough-toiuhas had considerable success in opensprints this season, and he seems ableto' get the most out of "his, mounts atthe end. Had Gold Dawn not been so,anxious early in the race she would prob-ably have won.

VERY CLOSE RACING

EGMONT MINOR EVENTS

SUCCESSFUL WALK UP.STARTS. ■ Closefinishes wore a feature of theracing at Hawera on Saturday, an'd^tlieresults over the two days were a distinctcredit to the work of the Egmont RacingClub's new handieappcr (Mr. A. Tron-son). Owing to the indisposition of Mr.A. Patterson, Mr. A. Morse officiatedasstarter, and his walk-up releases were onthe whole rather successful,but at timeshad the appearance of being fluky. Nev-ertheless,judged on results, the startingwas the best that has been witnessed ,oncountry circuits for some time.

' ROYAL ACRE'S HURDLES.

< Royal Acre, who was left and took nojiart in the Hurdles on Thursday, was al-ways one of the pacemakers in the Oka-rawa Hurdles,and when Denier had hadenough half a mile from home lie tooksole charge and thereafter'was never inactual danger of defeat. Full Mark madean effort to close on the two leaders alongthe back,but Royal Acre went away fromhim again on the turn, and after crossing

the final fence with several' lengths ad-vantage was not asked to show his best tohold off Full Mark by a length. Democra-tic, who was last over tJjg early stages,was third seven lengths away, and therewas a gap of another four lengths toDenier. Waltzer and Goblin Market fol-lowed at intervals.

Full Mark was over £.100better backedthan Royal Acre in a small pool. Demo-cratic being the only other to carry muchsupport. Full Mark's supporters receivedlittle more than half their investmentback. Royal Acre jumped extravagantlyat first, but once he settled down he wasalways going like a winner. v

Full Markwent another good race, and jumped wellfor a comparative novice, but ho wasbeaten on the merits. He was goingstrongly at the finish, and witli experi-ence should turn out a useful hurdler.Democratic will improve with the race.

" WON ON THE POST.Chief Link had a close call in the Elec-

tric Handicap, and it was only the vigor-ous riding of 11. Gray that enabled himto get up in time to snatch the race from£eter Jackson,who had made practicallyall. of the running. Peter Jackson andSporting Chancecame into the straighttogether clear of Paparua, Chief Link,Gibraltar, and Open Cheque, and PeterJackson ran into sole lead at the distance,but Chief Link put in a strenuous chal-lenge and managed to catch the leaderjust as they were crossing the line. Threelengths away was Paparua, with. Sporting

Chanceanother length back, followed byOpen Cheque, Summertime,Ripple Song,and Gibraltar. ' 'There was little to choose between ChictLink nnd Open Cheque in tho betting,and each carried nearly twice as much asSporting Chance,who was the only othermuch sought. ChiefLink was skilfullyridden, for he had a big,, weight to carryand any other tactics than those adoptedwould have failed. He is. the three-year-old brother to SilverRule, and halt-broth-er to Silvermine,and carries the same col-ours. Peter Jackson is a speedy two-year-old brown gelding by Nigger Min-strel from the Martian mare Left, fullsister to Nones, Menelaus,and. Love-match,and more will be heard from him.Open Cheque, in contrast to his usualrunning, was .well' back early in the race,and, although he finished more stronglythan he often does, he was never a placepossibility. Sporting Chanceappeared tobe rushed,too much over the early stages.Paparua, 'catching the jump-out, was al-ways prominent. .

ORAPAI WINS AGAIN.Orapai, movingaway with the same alac-

rity as ho did on Thursday, led through-out the Meremere Hack Handicap to giveH. Gray his second win in succession.Silver Rule, Singer, Chief Savage, and'Kissless attended him over the early partof the race, and entering the straight hewas well clear of Chief Savage,. SilverRule, Singer, Hinewai, and Tea Queen.Nothing threatened his supremacyin therun down to the judge, and he beat thefast-finishing Tea Queen very easily by a.length and a half, Singer being anotherhalf-length away third. Anbridge wasfourth, followed by Kissless,Chief Savage,Silver Rule, and Hinewai.

Orapai was a very hot favourite, andpaid well under even money. Tea Queenarid Chief Savage were .much the bestbacked of the remainder. Orapai is pro-bably the best of Thespian's stock yet torace, and he is fitter now than he has beenat any other part of the season. Hiswin on Saturday lifted him out of hackclass,but he still has nominations to runout. Tea Queen did not move awaytoo well,but she finishedattractively and a winfor her is long overdue. The disappoint-ment of the race was Chief Savage, whohad every chance,but.did not infuse thekick into his finishing that he didon Thursday. He was possibly made toomuch use of early in the race. Singer andAnbridge are improvingand should short-ly have a turn.

EASY FOR IBIS.Ibis and Moatoa,neither of whom had a

race on Thursday, outclassed their oppon-ents in the Trinl Hack Handicap. Theywere first out, and, after leading DoubleRed;Nimble, Goldzone,Orby's Choice,andBon Eve into the straight, came on withthe greatest of ease to take the dividends,Ibis finishing the more strongly and beat-ting Moatoa by a length. Two lengthsaway was Orby's Choice,just in front ofBon Eve and Goldzone. Miss Chatter,Double Redi and Nimble followed: .■

Nimble, as the result of her good show-ing on the first day, was made a goodfavourite, with Ibis, mucb better backedthan either Double Red,or Orby's Choice.Moatoa,who was eighth fancy, paid muchmore than the winner. Nimble was pro-minent to the straight, but then beganto weaken,and was ndt persevered with.Ibis, a four-year-old bay mars'by ChiefRuler from the Achilles mare Peroiieal(dam,of a former fair sprinter in Stan-dard), has not been much raced, for shehad previously started only twice, havingbeen second each time. She is likely toprove a useful hack on the autumn cir-cuits. Moatoa ran above expectations,and his good showing was due mainly tohis quickness away at the start. Orby'sChoice-is improving and is likely to winbefore long.

FAST FINISHING RUN.Calamine,one of the last horses into

the straight in the Normauby Handicap,came with a dazzlingrun down the outsideand snatched a victory that looked wellbeyond his reach half a furlong from thepost. Callapat, Green Linnet, Belle Star,'Jenacre,and ilalayan led over, the middlestages of,the race, but GreenLinnet hadenough before the straight was reached,and Callapat turned for home ahead ofHello Star, Bonogne, Malayan, GreenLin-net, and Tenacre,with Calamine and Ka-whakina last. Callapat was under pres-suro a furlong out, and Malayan, Cala-mine, and Kawhakina swooped down onhim at the end to cut him out of partici-pation in the stake, Malayan losing therace to Calamineby a neck over the lastfifty yards. Kawhakina, who could notget through, was a length away third,and Callapat was close up fourth. Bestof the-others were Bonogne, Tenacre,and"Belle Star.

Malayan was in somewhat better de-mand than Belle Star, Bonogne, or Ka-whakina. Calamine,who showed■ a bigimprovementon his Thursday'seffort, wassixth favourite at the best price of theday. Malayan was in front half a furlongfrom home,but he was unable to with-stand the powerful challenge lodged bythe winner, who was last away and waswell tailed off along the back. Belle Starhad every chance. Bonogne had to beridden hard all the way, and this lefthim without a run for the finish. Kawha-kina was the unlucky horse in Lhe race,for he came through the field fast over theclosing stages, but was blocked by Ma-layan nnd Tenacre, He should have paidi! dividend.

TRIBUTE TO HANDICAPPER.

' Crennii' Town,' galloping smoothlythroughout, had a reserve.ot speed ;leitat the finish of the Inaha Hack Handicap,and this enabled him to cut through nearthe post and gain the decision m one ofthe closest contests of the meeting, lheearly order did not materially attcct the

for home ahead of Werata, Joyspear, MissShef,Tobaccoland,Statuary,CrennaTown,Banbridge, and Saltpot. Joyspear andStati/ary challenged Tentcall strenuouslyfrom the distance, and then Gray brought

A lengthfurther away was Banbridge finishingstrongly, ahd.then came Tobaccoland,MissShef, Werata, and Gasnapper.: Saltpot was over £100 better backedthan Tentcnll, and there was even supportfor CrennaTown, Statuary, Rich Harvest,Banbridge, Tobaccoland,and JoJWeai-Saltpot made a promising run eaiy in the

'his-main effort much too soon, otherwise! 1,0 would possibly have won. Statuary wasIalways handy to the .front; but he again

iwent wide on the turn and down the

'straight, and the handicap he thus set him-

'self was too much to recover entirely.

'Rich Harvest was not good enough when

" tho pace was clapped on.' Banbridge hn-■ ished attractively and appears to be on the

'weight is stopping him. and he is now

'deserving of being dropped a little in nan-;,dicappers'estimation. Joyspear was never1far ■'away from the leaders, and was in

RESULTS IN DETAIL

BIG DEOP IN INVESTMENTS

The weather was again line, for the con-cluding day of the Egmont Racing Club'sSummer Meeting on Saturday, and thetrack was in excellent order. The at-tendance, however, was disappointing.The

totalisator turnover for the day was£9852, as against £12,987on the secondday of the last SummerMeeting, whichwas held in December,1920. The totalinvestments for the two days were £20,----163 10s, compared with £29.799in De-cember, 1029, a decline of £963510s. Thisdrop was much more than anticipated, asthe previous meeting, at the changed

dates, was not, a success.1 The llawlcesBay disaster undoubtedly was the princi-pal factor militating against the financialsuccess of the meeting.

Evening Post.MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1931.CONSERVATIVE UNITYThe East Toxteth by-election- has

given the' British Government an-other staggering blow. At the Gen-eral Election the present JLord Mel-chett had won the seat in a triangu-lar contest by a minority vote, histotal being 17,678 against an aggre-gate of 19,291 divided almost equ-ally between Labour and Liberalism.With their eyes on the ElectoralReform Bill which is now before theHouse ofCommons, theLiberals re-frained on tliis occasion from nomin-ating a candidate, yet their goodwilldid not enable the Labour candidateto score more than 5550 against theConservative's 17,040. , The Conser-vatives, who were previously about1500 behind the Labour-Liberal ag-gregate, are now more than 11,000ahead. Not only does the resultrepresent a swing-over more thantwice as large as that recorded inShipley, but it will even stand com-parison with East Toxteth'srecord inthe General Election of 1924. Ow-ing to the Zinovieff letter and thefirst Labgur Ministry's mismanage-ment 1924 was a "boom" year forthe Conservatives, yet they onlypolled 16,139 votes in East Toxtethagainst a Labour-Liberal aggregateof more than 10,000. Their lead ofabout 5000 on that occasion has nowbeen more than doubled; , whichmeans that the Conservatives havedone twice as welf in this constitu-ency as they did in the GeneralElection which gave them 413 seatsin a House of 615. , The Govern-ment will surely'need some moreinvigorating support than the refusalof Mi\ Lloyd George and a majorityof his small party to vote againstthem on critical divisions if they areto survive many more such blows.

An essential condition of thesestriking Conservative successes wasthat the party presented a unitedfront. They had escaped-defeat inBromley, although a United EmpireParty candidate had taken awaymore than 9000 Conservative votes.In South Paddington an EmpireCrusader had actually beaten theofficial Conservative candidate andwon the election. That astonishingvictory seems to have, marked theclimax of the Crusaders' revolt, buttoJ what extent they have been con-ciliated by concessions has not beenmade clear. ' Though no furtherformal change has been announcedin. the attitude of official Conserva-tism to the taxation of foodstuffs,itdoes not follow that the humiliatinglesson 'of (South Paddirigtbn has notcompelled it to show greater defer-ence to the views of the* EmpireCrusadeis in the selection of candi-dates. But that the terms of a gen-eral compromise have not yet beensettled may be inferredfrom the re-port which, was cabled to us on.Thursday regarding another by-elec-tion.

An exchange of letters between Mr.Paul Springman, representative of theEmpire Crusado and the United Partyin tho East Islington by-election nowpending, and Misa Cazalen, Conserva-tive candidate,has resulted in the with-drawal of Mr. Springman. ' The contestwill be between Labour, Conservative,and Liberal candidates.Not a word is said as to the natureof the settlement, but the risk of asplit has been avoided and . thechances of a permanent understand-ing improved by the arrangementmade. If such an understanding iseffected in good time for the GeneralElection, not even the passing of theElectoral Reform Bill seems likely

!to prevent the Conservatives fromgetting a working majority.

Whatever the cause may be, thecomparative silence ofLord Beaver-brook and Lord Rothermere duringthe last few months has undoubtedlytended to restore Mr. Baldwin'spres-tige and must have greatly reducedhis anxieties. The difficulty of find-ing a leader to take his place hasbeen one of their most formidableobstacles from the first, and sincetheir own differences became soacute as to induce' them on two occa-sions to put rival candidates into thefield,it may well have appeared in-superable. On the other hand, therehas been ample,evidence!'.; of a con-ciliatory spirit on the p*lrt of theConservative management since' Mr.Neville Chamberlain was put incharge, and there have been officialintimations that the differences hadbeen reduced to a very narrowmargin.. Addressing- a meeting ofConservative women at the Ladies'Carllon Club on the 4th November,Sir Laming Worthington-Evans, whowas Secretary for War in Mr. Bald-win's last Government, put the mat-ter thus:I want you to realise what the dif-

ference is between. Mr. Baldwin'spolicy and tho Bcaverbrook policy.Lord Bcaverbrook w;ints people to say,'■* I like taxes on food. I want youto vote for taxes on. food." What I"9,y and Mr. Baldwin says is this, "I

don't like taxes on food if I can avoidthem, although I am prepared to askpeople to give me a free hand to puta tax on wheat or meat, if it is neces-sary for the purpose of a bargain withthe Dominions. I want to see that Iam goingto get something for my taxes—my monoy—although I make thatoffer. I am quito certain, that exceptfor a little nuance, a little'phrase, alittle light, and a littlo shade, there isabsolutely no difference at all betweenthem.

A statement made hy Mr. NevilleChamberlain himself is perhaps ofeven greater significance. At ameeting of the City of London Con-servative Association on the 19thNovember he appears to have put themain weight on the quota system,but,failing that, he thought ,that they should not shrink even froma tax on foreign whoat rather thanforgo the supreme advantages whichthey could foresee from a true systemOf economic unity.After his speech a member of theaudience wanted to know what Con-servative headquarters were likely todo to heal the breach with LordBeaverbrook's party, and Mr. Cham-berlain replied as follows: —May I remind the gentleman whoaßked the question that it takos twoto make a bargain, and no doubt hehag addressed a similar question toLord Beavorbrook, and I nope ho hashad a satisfactory reply from him. Asfar as our party is -concerned, I maysay that I see nothing in tho shape ofany differencebetween us that is worthlighting about. We are always readyto make friends provided wo can geta reciprocal intention from the otherside. /

Read in conjunction with the state-ment of his colleague previouslyquoted, this answer seems to showthat the difference between Conserva-tive headquarters and Lord Beaver-brook is no longer importantenough to justify the complete splitwhich was threatened when he set upa new party, and that if that disasteris not averted it will not be fromthe lack on the official side of afriendly and conciliatory spirit* Al-ready what threatened to developintoa personal. vendetta against Mr.Baldwin seems to have shot its bolt.He is apparently recognised both bythe insurgents and less violent mal-contents as the only possible leader.A very little give-and-take should re-store the unity of the ConservativeParty and save the country fromchaos at the General Election.

REVEALING THE BEST—■—-*—

Though the Hawkes Bay calamityhas imposed on the province andNew Zealand a great loss in life andproperty, there is one thing that maybe set on the credit side. The dis-aster has stirred up the best inhuman nature. In the shaken dis-tricts there have been many examplesof heroism,self-sacrifice,and patientendurance. Elsewhere there has beena great revelation of sympathy andhelpfulness. Afterthe first shock ofthe, news the question on everyone'slips was:;"How.can we help?" Ina few days the needed. . transport,food and clothing, and medicalassistance were made available insuch abundance that further offersWere not required. Now an equalgenerosity is being displayed in con-tributions to the'Earthquake ReliefFunds. With such, generosity, andwith courageous; determination, thetask of rebuilding the shatteredtownsmay be faced with confidence. Thppeople of Napier and Hastings, willbe heartened by this proof that; thecitizens of other ,towns and districtswill stand.behind them and supportthem in everyway in thegreat labourof reconstruction. With this spiritNew Zealand ,may emerge from aperiod of trial with a new strengthwhich will help to'compensate forthe national loss.

CAMPBELL CARRIES ON

Captain Campbell's two recordsassure British supremacy in landspeed' for a further period. The"Golden Arrow's" record of 231miles an hour has been surpassed byalmost fifteen miles in the "Blue-bird." This has been done under con-ditions which show that car anddriver have a reserve which may bedrawn on if the present record ischallenged. Scarcely less remarkableis the new "baby" car record of 94miles an hour. These records estab-lish Britain's claim to supremacy indesign and in driving skill and cour-age. It might have been said thatthe "Golden Arrow" was the productof one genius, handled by a driverof exceptionalskill and daring. Butthe performance has been surpassedby other designers (with "notable tri-umphs in aircraft engine building)and by a different driver. The tri-umph may therefore be fairly des-cribed as national. Such skill andcourage, allied to the new spiritwhich is reorganising industry andreviving trading enterprise, shouldspeedily regain commercial prosper-ityfor Britain.

SLOW-MOTION PICTURES

{Interesting possibilities arc sug-gested by the cabled announcementthat the first movietone picture of aprofessional billiards, match wasmade in London at a session of thematch between Lindrum and New-man. Newman made 13,536, includ-ing a break of 995 full, and Lind-rum made 5097. One wonders whatwere the sounds recorded. Werethey just the click of the balls, orwas some announcer explaining eachshot as if it were a boxing match:"Newman is getting in some veryeffective work with his left, or Ishould say his cue. In that last breakLindrum had his opponent against theropes—l mean the cushion." DidLindrum and Newman discuss theweather, or debate politics, or didthey, like Portia, call for music whilethe game was played:'Let music sound ...Then, if he lose, ho makes a swanJike

end,Fading in music:

Or did Lindrum just count aloud

while Newman'sbreak mounted slow-ly to 995? Perhaps it is intended toreverse the process by which slow-motion pictures are shown, and reelthis one rapidly till Newman's -cueis working like a shuttlewhile abandplays a quick-step. But what of thecheers of the crowd, the mass noisesthat give us the atmosphere when aboxing match is broadcast? If themovietone producer's ingenuity hasmade a success of this, he may nexttry his skill with sound pictures ofother great contests—a chess match,or an egg-laying competition.

NEWS OF THE DAY"Evening Post's" Birthday.

With its issue to-day the "EveningPost" enters upon its sixty-seventhyear of publication. It was first estab-lished on Bth February, 1865, and wasthe first daily paper to bo published inWellington.American Tourists.

On the Makura, which arrived fromSanFrancisco to-day, were two partiesof American tourists. One is' conduct-ed by Mr. J. L. Wheeler, who has beento New Zealand in a similar capacityeleven times previously. Tho otherparty is under the charge of Mr. CharlesStewart, of the Crisswell Tour Com-pany, Los Angeles. This is Mr. Stew-art's first visit to New Zealand. Bothparties, which number about 30 betweenthem, contain a number of prominentbusiness men, ,and comprehensiveitineraries havo been mapped Out forthorn. ;.:

Prompt Assistance.An. instance of how efficiently tho

organisation for the' assistance of earth-quake refugees is workingwas detailedby Mr. W. Nash, M.P., at Potone onSaturday. Mr. Nash said that a youngman had come down from Napier withhim absolutelypenniless. The morningof the earthquake he had received acheque for £20 odd on an insuranceclaim, and had handed the cheque tohis employer to cash, but before hehad got the change the earthquake, andthen the fire, wiped out tho, cheque andallfthe employer's funds. On arrival inWellington, however, tho insurance com-pany gave another cheque on the facts'being vouched fof, and the SavingsBank in Wellington allowed him tooperate on his Napier bank book. Acar wa,s placed at his disposal by theWellington Automobile Club, a freeticket was .given him by the Union

| Steamship Company to'Pieton, < andarrangements were made for a car' tomoot him and take him on to his home|in Kaikdura. \

Wreckage Washed Ashore.The Central Police . Station reports

that hundreds of small pieces of wreck-age havo been washed ashoro at Wha-ngamoana Beach, Palliser Bay.- Oneof tho pieces is painted white, and hasthe lion and unicorn coat of arms n it.It was thought at first that the wreck-age/might have been part of the yachtWindward,, but it is no>v known thatthe yacht had no coat of arms on it.The, Government steamer Tutariekai,

(which had similar coats of arms, wasscuttled in, Cook Strait last Wednesdaymorning, and it is thought likely thatthe wreckage has com© from her. Mostof. the known coaijs o*f arms on the Tu-tanekai were made'of metal, but theremay have been some wooden ones.Not Afraid.

The Amei'iean tourists who arrivedby the Makura this morning receivedtho news of the earthquake disasterby radio prior to landing,but, said one

.of them, it would not deter them fromcarrying out; their intended programme."Our sympathy goes out to tho suf-ferers and bereaved, and I am sure thatour people in the States will help iffloods be," ho suid. "We have notforgotten the San Francisco upheavaland the world's sympathy on that occa-sion." The tourist .added that hisparty hoped later, when their presencewould not be unacceptable, they wouldbe able to pay" a visit to the strickenarea, and he added that ho did notthink that any of them were afraidof any. further Earthquakes takingplace, although naturally some of themhad rathef. "got the wind up" when-they heard;the news.Are They Connected?

Many,people^ aro now speculating asto- whether the more recent earth-quakes that, have been recorded in theDominion are in any way connectedwith ; each other. There was ■ theArthur's Pass earthquake nearly twoyears'ago and tho :Murchison earth-quake eighteenlmonths ago. Occurringin between-these two big ones were lesssevere shakes, in Cook Strait and atHunterville. The question arises, arethe shakes migrating along,anyknownfault.line,. or are they isolated occur-rences t Seismologists and geologistsCannot at ipresent answer these ques-tions definitely, but it is anticipatedthat the correlation of Observationsnbyv being made may throw somelight on the subject"""Artificial 'Quakes. ,

Whilst in America ai'ter attendingtho Imperial Conference,'Dr. E. Mare-den, secretary of tho Department ofScientific and Industrial Besearchj in-vestigated the work being done inSan Francisco and elsewhere with re-gard to the design of earthquake;resist-ing buildings. He saw a test floorwhich could be made to vibrato, arti-ficially in accordance with the knownearthquake vibrations. The behaviourof model buildings on this floor is re-corded by means of a cinema. Theseexperiments, stated Dr. Marsdon, areof the greatest importance to NewZealand, where the question of earth-quake resisting construction needs tobo studied more than ever.Maturation 'of Cheese.

Amongstthe several problems studiedin America by Dr. E. Marsden, secre-tary of tho Department of Scientificand Industrial itesearch, was that re-lating to cheese maturation.

_Some

wonderful new work in this directionhas been accomplished by Americanchemists,and in his tour of the labora-tories Dr. Marsden was fortunate inhaving as pilot Mr. E. H. Campbell, aNew Zealand research scholarshipholder, who is conversant with therecent work.

THE WEATHER OUTLOOK

DULL AND MISTY

Since Saturday an anti-cyclone, hasremained centred over the southern dis-tricts, while to tho northwards of theDominion barometers have been re-latively low. This distribution of pres-sure has favoured a continuance ofmoderate to fresh south-east or south-erly winds, but except for considerablecloud along tho oast coast tho weatherhas been fair to flno. This morningit was still generally fair, but at 9a.m. light rain was falling at Oamaru,Wellington, and Gisborne, the latterplace reporting a south-west gale. Cooltomporatures havo prevailed. ,AU thechief stations experienced fine week-endweather.

Tho forecast is for south-east tonorth-east winds, freshening in andnorth of Cook Strait, elsewhere lightto moderate. The weather is likely tobo dull and misty on all the east coastand in the far north, with misty rainin places, later heavier rain sotting inin far northern districts and extendinggradually southwards. Temperaturesaro likely to be cool,but becoming mildin the North-

A FATAL CRASH

TRAGEDY AT WAIROA

MAIL AEROPLANE WRECKED

THREE MEN KILLED

: (By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

i | , GISBOBNP.,Bth Fobruaiy.'Disaster followod disaster When

shortly after noon to-day a DominionAirlines monoplane crashed within amile of the town, three persons beingkilled.

The victims were:—"FLIGHT-LIEUT. IVAN ' LOUIS

KIGHT, barrister,, of Dannevirke,a director of Dominion Airlines.

WALTER' FINDLAY, a well-knownbusiness man, of Gisbqrrie, wherehe owns a largo bakery and cater-ing business. .

W. C. STBAND, Brunswick street,Lower Hutt, who was a representa-tive of A. S. Paterson, Ltd., andson of the ex-Mayor of LowerHutt.,

The aeroplane left Gisborno, at 1.15p.m. with instructions to drop atWairoa a bag containing telegrams.

From what can be gathered at pre-■ sent, the aeroplane dropped a bag androse again. It then banked, the enginestalled and the machine nose-divedinto the side of the road near a PublicWorks camp, one mile from the Wairoabridge.

When spectators, reached the Spot,the aeroplane'was found to ba,ve turnedcompletely over^ with the nose burieddeep in the ground. Men workedfeverishly, breaking away a portion ofthe right wingto get to the occupants,but it was too late. Two of the vic-tims were killed outright, but one wasbreathing, and died within a fevy min-utes. ' - . ■

The crowd was kept back and a cor-don formed, pendingthe arrival of thopolice, ship's doctor oil the Northum-berland, who had been marooned here,also arrived, but could do nothing.

' Tho bodies were removed to thePublic Works Department's stores.

..; The 'plane was a Dosoutter cabinedmonoplane, registered ZK—ACA, andarrived at Gisborne from Hastingsabout midday to-day and departed forHastings about 12.45 p.m.-, The samemachine, piloted by Flight-Lieu tenantBolt, has performed excellent service inmaintaining communication betweenGisborhe and^ the outside since the'quake. ~ Flight-Lieutenant Bolt wasolily- relieved from his duties to-day,and Flight-Lieutenant Kight took overthe day's trip. It had been intended]to return to Gisborno with mail matterlater in the afternoon.

On the arrival of the machine onSaturday, Flight-Lieutenant Bolt saidthat he' had never had a wojSe trip,'bumping occurring all the way, and howent to the length of stripping him-self/in for tho return trip to Hastings-'on Saturday. - J

Mr. Findlay was. a popular businessman of the town. Ho had been inNapier attending to business intereststhere, and returned, to Gisborne onSaturday night, leaving again to-dayfor the devastated area to make.arrangements for bread supplies. He issurvived by a'widow and two sons.

CLASS OF BUILDINGS

COMMISSION URGED

TOWN PLANNER'S OPINION

The opinion that there should be nocriticism of any one class of buildingmatorial in tho devastated area-untilan independentinquiryhas been carriedout, and that the Government shouldset up a commission to investigate,was expressed to-day by Mr. H. F.Butcher, City Town Planner and amember of tho Institute of Architects,in an interview with a "Post" repre-sentative. Mr. Butcher has just return-ed to Wellington1 with Mr. A. S. Mit-chell, consulting engineer and architect,after an inspesction of th,e ruins."It is the duty of tho Government,"

said Mr. Butcher, "to set up a com-mission to mako' investigations immedi-ately on the1spot and to go into thequestions of building material andmethods of construction. Mr. Mitchelland I are members of the earthquakecommittee of the Institute of Archi-tects, and we took the opportunity ofgetting away' to compare the damagedbuildings with those wo saw in ,theNelson and Murehison area after theearthquake on the West Coast in 1929.The visit was well worth while.

LAY-OUT OF BUSINESS ABBA."From my own point of view, and

from a town planning point of view,"continued Mr. Butcher; "I think that-before any rebuildingor reconstructionwork is attempted the authorities wouldbe well advised to go into tho questionof the lay-out of the business sectionof Napier; Iknow Napier pretty well,and before 'the- earthquake it 'had itstraffic problems. ' With regard to thesetting up of a commission as I havesuggested, that was done in the easternpart of the United States of America,where there is now a national buildingcode." ■

Mr. Mitchell said there was no suchthing as an earthquake-proof building,but there- were earthquake-resistingbuildings. From the inspection ho hadmade he had noticed that, lime mortarhad been used in the construction ofsome of the later brick buildigs, and ithad caused him some surprise. In someof the modern structures there was ovi-dence of the workmanship not beingwhat it might have been in places. Forinstance, ho had observed inadequate"tying" of hollow walls. Mr. But-cher referred to thoBoys' High Schoolbuildings,which he said had been builton sand 6ft in depth. It was no place |for buildings of their character.

Mr. Butcher said he had noticedmany damaged wooden buildings, andthere wore brick buildings in the resi-dential area that were absolutely in-tact. In his opinion there was noicomparison between the intensity of theearthquake in Napier and the one thatoccurred in Murehison and surroundingdistricts, although that statement mighthave to be modified, because in Napiera considerably larger business area hadbeen affected than in Murchison.

PEOPLE Sh6uLD NOT LEAVE."There should bo no suggestion of

leaving Napier for'good," said Mr.Butcher. "That must not be consid-ered foi1 one moment. Tho servicesthoro—street wiring, underground ser-vices, tramway lines, etc.—may boworth many thousands of pounds, andfor .that reason alone a proper schemeof reconstruction should b.o got outforthwith, and rebuilding commencedaftertho findings of a special commis-sion." >Mr. Butcher has seen the results ofthree big earthquakes. In addition tothose at Napier and on the West Coast,he was in Santa Barba shortly afterthe big shock in 1925.

VALUED HELP

THOSE WHO ASSISTEDMAYOR EXTENDS THANKS

REBUILDING OF TOWN

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)NAPIER, 7th February.

The Mayor of Napier (Mr. J. VigorBrown) desires to make the followingstatement to the people of New Zea-land regarding the earthquake at

Napier:—"The calamity came with terrifying

suddenness, and it has to be realisedthat the whole of the devastation waswrought in a matter of seconds. Thework of succouring the injured andthoso trapped in falling buildings com-menced immediately, and many peoplerisked their lives in rendering aid.

"The whole of the first day was oc-cupied in the removal of injured fromthe debris and the improvisation ofhospitals, and in giving the necessaryattention to the injured. Disaster hadfollowed disaster. Fire broke out al-most immediatelyafter the earthquake,and a large ]proportion of availableworkers was diverted to an attemptto combat, the outbreaks. In spite ofthis all the injured-were accommodatedin" sorno way during the day, and acommencement, was made with arrange-ments for the distribution of food-Stuffs. Food and hot drinks were avail-able within five hours.' Transport todeal with water supplies, urgent mat-ters in connection with sanitation^ and,most .important of all, medical andnursing help for the injured, waspromptly arranged. Committees wereformed, and at tho police station andelsewhero on the evening of the earth-quake arrangements were made forfood to be supplied to various'depots.

PRAISE FOR THE NAVY."It is impossible sufficiently to em-

phasise the wonderful manner, in whichtho commander and officers and men ofthe Veronica assisted in these activi-ties. But for them our troubles wouldhave been immeasurably greater. Theygot to work immediately and. helpedto instil confidence into the; populace.Later, their, efforts were supplementedby ,the; arrival of the Dunedin and Dio-inode, and the Navy continues to ren-der assistance to Napier in her hourof need.

"The doctors and nurses and all thoseassociated with them, did wonderfulwork under, conditions that were ex-ceedingly difficult. It is imposisblo toexpress in this 'statement tho grati-tude due to all who aided the workof succour. Casualties werd treatedin the most humane and careful way."The Government has done magni-ficent Work* Ministers of the Crownand the Departmental officers werequickly on the scene, and soon madeavailable, in conjunction with otherorganisations, thousands 6f pairs ofblankets, tents, bread, meat, etc. TheGovernment :is 'at our back in givinghelp. It has taken \ip the positionthat the; disaster is a national one,and is treating it as such.

"At tho time of the upheaval thesteamers Taranaki and Northumberlandwere in the Bay, and sent, men iandsupplies ashore when they were sore-ly,needed. .

"The police, as always, 'were."'rightin amongst the troubles, and did theirdifficult work very tactfully. One.hasto remember that at times liko thishundreds are hysterical and great tacthad to be displayed in the direction ofmatters by those in authority.

INQUIRIESFOR FRIENDS."A great 'many people have sont

messages asking for information aboutrelatives and .friends; It has been im-possible to get information in a^largenumber of cases, as the people in-quired for have' left their homes, andtheir whereabouts are not known. Cas-ualty cases were removed to varioushospitals in the outlying districts, andit was impossible at first to get anyinformation at all. Everyone was en-gagod- in essential work, and whatmight appear as possible neglect couldriot bo avoided.

"Every endeavour is boing made, torestore thingsto normal, many workingnight and day/ The Post and Tele-graph Department has done wonders,1working night and day forwarding allcommunications as quickly as possible.I must assure people who have not re-ceived replies to telegrams that thetelegraph authorities have done' allthat is' possible for human beings todo. ; , .

"Some people outside the districthave formed their own ideas of whatia being done,and what should be done,but wo who are here know all aboutit, and can assure tho public thatwhile masonry, etc., was still falling,attention was being given these de-tails at great personal risk to thosecarrying out tho work.

NOT WIPED OUT."I also wish to state that Napier is

not wiped out. We are at present re-building a tobacco factory at PortAhuriri. Portion of it had to bepulleddown, and -this morning they are re-moving the debris and starting immedi-ately to rebuild the factory, whicli em-ploys from two to three hundred hands.Many other businesses have alreadymade, financial arrangements to re-build their premises.

"As soon as the debris, which is con-siderable, is removed buildingswill begone one with. Napier will soon be re-built. ... ■ ,

"It Will be appreciated that in thisshorf statement I am unable to expressadequate thanks to the many organisa-tions and to1the hundreds of people whohave assisted our people here and inothor centres. May I convey to themthe gratitude of Napier and its citi-zens for all they have done, and aredoing for us."

PANIC MESSAGES

STEAMER MISLED

FRUITLESS RUSH TO WAIROA

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

GISBORNE, Bth; February.-Ac misleading radio message caused

tho liner Northumberland to hurryfromJSTapier to "Wairoa tw succour theinhabitants at a time wlnain they werenot in great need of help;It cannot bo gainsaid that wireless

has proved of invaluable ■■"■help in thepresent disaster and time of stress,but, nevertheless,some misleading mes-sageshave acted in a cruel manner onrelatives and friends in oth<sr parts ofthe Dominion. Apparently as a resultof a radio message on Tvesday thepublic gained a wrong impre esion thatGisborne was badly affeeteci by theearthquake. The fact that the tele-graph lines were down beUueen. hereand Hawkes Bay deepened thatpression, and, as a result, hundreds oftelegrams poured into Gisbofne, andare still being received, the majorityfrom anxious relatives. Even " on. Sat-urday a large number of messsygeswasreceived. The result of the heavy shakeon Tuesday was only minor damage toshops, and no one was injured. ■

Another instance of a panic ,Mdrelessmessage, however, may prove V(tsry ex-pensive, for it resulted in thes linerNorthumberland being ordered to» leavesixteen thousand carcasses of mesvt rap-idly deteriorating at Napier ands rushto Wairoa on Friday morning. TheNorthumberland, then lying at; Nfvpier,was ordered to go to Wairoa to pickup thirty or forty thousand carciassesof'meat from the Wairoa .freezingworks which had been .damaged.byTuesday's earthquake. The Wairoafreezing works caught fire on Tl lurs-day night, but that fact was not kn own;at Napier at the time, and when theliner actually left Napier the wewkswere burning. When 20 miles out fisomNapier the ship was ordered by witre-less to go back to Napier and tsikeaboard 16,000carcasses which were r (ip-idly deteriorating as a result of ,12iefire at Port Ahuriri.

BACK TO WAIROA. :The liner drdpped anchor and comm-

enced the preliminary loading',of <&few bales of wool, which were alongvside, while the meat was coming oflC.Then a messagewas aeeeived from thocaptain of H.M.S. Dunedin stating.thatsa wireless messagehad just: been re-ceived that Wairoa was in a state■of panic—houses had gone, sanitationhad failed, and assistance was wantedat once. The Northumberland wasordered to proceed to Wairoa. Allwork'immediatelystopped and the linerset out without delay. . ,

OVER UNCHARTED WATER.. Considerable anxiety prevailed onboard, as the vessel was rushing overuncharted seas, and the lino was keptgoing continuously. Two doctors andthree medical students were aboard,and on the way across cots were hastilyfitted up to accommodate sixty cotcases. When the liner reached Wai-roa. at 6.30 p.m. she lowered a launchand a party, includingCommanderUp-ton;-who is in charge of the Northum-berland, two medical men, threecal students, a first-aid outfit, wirelessequipment, etc:, tumbled into thelaunch. The small craft made a haz-ardous crossing of the bar, and pro-ceeded at full speed up tho river tothe town, noticing on the way up thatthe freezing works had been burnt. Onthe wharf a man was standing, andhailed them. "Save you brought themail?" he said. ■

"What's all tho trouble?" was thereply. " '■ f... "There's nothing much happened heresince the big 'quake on Tuesday," saidthe man, "except that we've had a fewmore shakes since, and tho freezingworks have been burnt down."

CommanderUpton, Dr. Bice, of Gis-borne, and the other medical men wentashore and waited on the Mayor, who,after hearing the reason for the visit,expressed' sincero regret.

A SPORTING CAPTAIN.Commander Upton took the inatfcor

NAPIER, Bth February.It is suggested that the debris at the

foot of Bluff Hill, which reaches fromtho sea to a hundred feet up the clifi

face, be allowed to remain as a naturalgravo for those who may be buriedthere, and a road be constructed roundthe foot of the slip, which would takemonths,to remove.

The immense slip has certainly madethe cliff.face much safer, subject to afew dangerous points beingremoved.

IN THE CHURCHESDAY OF PRAYER

SPECIAL SERVICES

TIME OF SPIRITUAL RENEWAL

Yesterday was observed in thechurches of all denominations as a na-tional day of remembrance and prayer.Special services wero attended by largecongregations, and collections worewade for tho relief of sufferers.

Tho morning service in St. Paul's Pro-Cathedral was attended by the PrimeMinister (thoRight Hon. G. W. Forbes),tho Hon. P. A. de la 1-Vrolle, the Hon.S. G. Smith and Mrs. Smith, the Hon.Sir Thomas Sidey,- the Hon. W. A."VDitch and Mrs. Veitch, and the Hon.H. A. Hansom,and many -others. Thepreacher was Canon Percival James."Tho nation," ha said, "has been calledljy tho Prime Minister arid tho Govern-ment, and the Church has been sum-moned by tho Archbishop and Bishop tomake- this Sunday a national day of re-membraneo and prayer. This magnifi-contresponse shows that after the strainand anxiety o£ the last few days thepeople feel constrained to seek tho quietof tho House of -God. We come to fol-low with our prayers those who havebeen suddenly called into the life be-yond; to beseech God'smercy for the in-jured, to pray that comfort and cour-age, hope and strength may be givento the bereaved,aiid to those left home-less and destitute, who have lost in aninstant the livelihood built up by thework of a lifetime. Wo remember be-fore God all who have passed througha lierytrial, which has taxedthe utmostresources of tho human spirit. Let usalso thank God for all the heroism, sym-pathy, and self-srtcrifico that have il-lumined these dark hours,'praying thattho lessons that God has rctaught usmay never fade from our forgetfulhearts. ' ■

CALM FORTITUDE."Two things must have impressed us

all during the last few days. First, thetestimony we have received from eyo-"witnesses of the calm fortitude of thosewho endured the terrible ordeal. Weare told of the utter unselfishnessdis-played by those who. escaped .serious,injury, their swift and quiet helpfu)-.iioss, and their tireless labour at thetasks of rescue and relief. Onowho waspresent told me that he was particu-larly impressed by the initiative, re-source, and efficiency of young boys,"who went to work without flinching,;iinid the terrible scenes of agony,death, and destruction. He added: 'Itmade mo proud to be a New Zealander.'Secondly, there is-the spectacle before"which none of us;can remain unmoved;tho whole Dominion, rising as one maniv eagernessto succoyr the afflicted, tobring them what comfort can be given,and to ease their burden3. If the num-ber who have actually come from thestricken area to Wellington had beengreatlymultiplied, I believe homes wouldbo ready to receive them as welcomeguests. Richer, and poorer alike are.eaget to give and to do what they can.I have found many instances of reallypoor people who aro eagerto make somesacrifice to help tho sufferers. Childrenare giving up their picnics, .andsending tho money that would havebeen spent to the relief fund. Muchmore remains to be done; but wpjmaybe confidentthat the people will answerwhatever appeal may be made.1 Thewholo Dominion is bound together byono bond oli practical sympathy^ Itmakes one proud to be a New, Zea-lander.

REAL DEMOCRACY."Can wo live permanently upon this

elevation? Let us.make our prayer toGod, who can bring good out of evil,that this may be a time of spiritual re-newal for us all. Difficult days, orrather difficult years, are ahead■'of thisDominion. ' But to a virile nation, asto a true man, difficulties'present them-selves as tilings not to be feared, butto be overcome. Everything dependsupon the spirit in which they are en-countered. Recently a leading man ofaffairs in (ho Dominion remarked tome: 'It is a moral appeal that needs tohe made to ourpeople to-day; an appealto the finer moral qualities latent inthe mass of New Zcalandei's'will savethe situation as nothing else will.'. Ibelieve tho events of the last'few dayshave justified his faith, and shown thatan appeal can be made to the- true pat-riotism which can rise above selfishness—individual and sectional—and beready, loyally and cheerfully, to beara fair share of the common sacrifice. Inthis ordeal we have had another glimpseof democracy as it might be. We haveachieved a true national unity—onepeople bound together by one purposeof sympathy aud service, fulfilling the.law of Christ: 'Bear ye one another'sburdens.' "

IN THE SYNAGOGUE

A special service was held at theWellington Synagogue on Saturdaymorning, when there was a very largeattendance, including tho leading mem-bers of the congregation and its officers,with their president, Mr. Phil. Myers.An address was given:by Mr. I. VantStaveren,acting honorary minister, andan appeal was made to co-operate 'inevery possible way with the authoritieswho wero working to relievo tho situa-tion, and also to extend the greatestsympathy and consideration for tho suf-ferers in their hour of trial. The ser-vice concluded with a prayer, especiallycomposed for tiio occasion, and ■ thosinging of the Penetential Yigdol, theages-old memorial hymu of'tho Hebrewpeople. :

HUTT VALLEY SERVICES

Special services were held at all the!Lower Hutt and Potoue churches yos-;terday, and at each either the offerings'for tho day were given or, a specialcollection was made on behalf, of suf-ferers in the stricken area. The morn-ing service at St..James Church,LowerHutt, was attended by the Mayor andcouncillors.

During the coiningweek meetings forprayer am being held each evening inPetone, and on Wednesday a unitedintercessory gathering will be held inSt. Augustine's Church.

FAITH AND COURAGE

CHUECH SERVICES,

GOVERNOR-GENERAL'SADDRESS

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

"As His Majesty's representative in-this Dominion," said the Governor-General (Lord Bledisloe), at a combinedmemorial service held in Cornwall Park,Hastings, on Sunday, "I assure youthat His Majesty is thinking of youand graying for you continuously. Ishall bo proud to toll His Majesty, asJ Lava already bcea telling in a cable1

sent to him to-day, that in the face ofthe terrible calamity that has befallenyou there is a magnificent spirit ofsympathy and co-operation, andthroughout the wholo community a de-termination to think of others ratherthan yourselves. I shall bo proud totell him that the people have been putto the test and have amply deoion-strated those great qualities of qu'etcourage, resourcefulness, and devot'onto duty, and unselfishnessthat alw?T3characterised the British race."

His Excellency went on to expresshis own and Lady Bledisloe's personalsympathy, and said that they hoped tovisit all the injured in hospital, atNapier, Hastings, and at other townsto which they had been removed. "Iwant as a man, not so much as HisMajesty's'representative, to appeal tomy'fellowmen here and to ask them tomaintain those qualities that alreadyhave been so strongly in evidenceamong them —the qualities of steadycourage,level-head,edness,and presenceof mind. If only for tho sako of oursplendid women, who, from all that Ihave heard and in spite of the frailtythat is supposed to characterise them,have in our hospitals and elsewheredone most wonderful, brave, and un-selfish work, let us do nothing to de-prive them of their presence of mind,or to undermine their already shat-tered nerves. Let us prove ourselvesto be men.

"Allow me to congratulate you all,"His Excellency continued, "on thesplendid spirit you have shown andon the co-operation not only amongreligious ministers here,but amongmenof all political views, of all trades andprofessions, and of all walks of, life.Let us have that co-operation that wasalready necessaryfor economic reasonsbefore this tragedy, but which is doublynecessary now." ■ \

Something -else had boon put to thetest besides those great British quali-ties that stood out pre-eminent in theworld, Lord Bledisloe added. Godmoved in a mysterious way, and faithwas needed now more than ever. ;"If we can put our faith in our

Divine Master at a time such as this,"he said, "then our faith is worthhaving. Lot us maintain that faith.and let us be true to it. You have suf-fered a great bereavement and havesuffered enormous- material damage,but from what I have seen with myown eyes it is miraculous that yourlosses-have notbeen even much greater.The sympathy of the. wholo world ispouring out to you to-day. I hopethat though your hearts may be sad, asindeed they must be after all you havebeen through, you will put a bold faceon your troubles and that there' shall

\be a smile on your faces. God blessyou," His Excellency continued withgreat earnestness, ''and bring you that'relief which only He can give. Weshall do our very best-to help you. Notonly the people of >.New Zealand, whahave shown;most magnificently in thelast few days the stuff they are madeof, but the people of the whole BritishEmpire, will do all they can to bringyon help."

The service was-attended' by a largenumber of the public, and was mosttouching and fittingly simple. All theProtestant clergy attended and tookpart, chief among them being the Rev.Dr. "Williams, Bishop of Waiapu. Theservice opened with the^ NationalAnthem, which was also sung at theconclusion. The Sixth Psalm, with thefollowing appropriateverses, was read:

Therefore will we not fear, thoughthe earth be moved and thoughi the- hills be carried.into the midst of thesea. . '■

Though the waters, thereof rageand swell, and though the mountainsshake at the tempest of the same.

The Lord of Hosts is with us. TheGod of Jacob is our refuge. :In a short address, the Bcv. D. J.

Shaw exhorted the people to maintaintheir courage and think of spiritualgain in the midst of economic loss. Hemade appropriate reference to thefamous cartoon of the days df theGreat. War, ■■ in which the Kaiser wasshown taunting Albert, King of theBelgians, with the words, "You havelost all," to which Albert replied, "Allexcept my soul." The Rev. Mr. Shawconcluded by urging the people to re-member with thankfulness amid theirtroubles how splendid the people hadbeen, not only here but everywherethroughout the Empire, and.how greatlythey had shown "an invincible courageand a quenchless hope." iMass was celebrated by HastingsCatholics at a temporary altar erectedin tho grounds of the Catholic School.There was a large congregation. FatherSehaffer asked the assembly to pray forthe happy repose, of the souls of allthe victims of the catastrophe, and inparticular for their late priest. FatherGondringer, 'who perished at Green-meadows Seminary.

POLICE AND NAVYWONDERFUL WORK DONE

CRITICISM DISCOUNTED

■ Criticism of the work of,the policeand naval officers in Napierwas repliedto to-day by Mr. 0. E. Blundell, ofthe University Tutorial College. Aftertaking a load of medical supplies fromWellington, Mr. Blundell remained inNapier for three days, and placed* his 'services and his motor-oar at the dis-posal of the authorities.

Mr. Blundell was in the closest touchwith the work of the, police, and hestated emphatically that the onlycriticism of the police he' heard waaby people outside of Napier. In thestricken town itself all the civilians hadnothing but the?greatest admiration forthe wonderfully organised work thepolice were carrying out under mostexacting conditions. Whereas the policealways worked in the civilians' inter-ests^ they themselves were practicallyneglected, and had no one at theirheadquarters to prepare their food orlook after them. Neither Sub-InspectorLqpdell, who arrived in Napier at mid-night on Tuesday, nor the constablesunder him, had any opportunity to re-inovo their clothes before. Saturdaynight, and their sleep was limited toabout two or three hours each day inthe early hours of the morning. Theirwork, which largely concerned theidentification of victims and the anawcr-ing of inquiries, was of a most unpleas-ant and difficult nature, but they car-ried on with a fortitude and patiencethat was remarkable. Where bodiescould not be' identified definitely allpossible particulars were taken, andthey were not buried until this becameimperative. Even then, it was oftennecessary to exhume bodies to givepeoplg an opportunity of identifyingthem,"

Mr. Blundell also spoke very highlyof the marines and bluejackets, whosework was as magnificent as that of thepolice. They patrolledthe city, he said,not with the idea of preventing looting,because in Napier looting was not evenspoken of, but to watch against out-breaks of fire.- The part they played inrecovering bodies was difficult andoften dangerous, but they unhesitating-ly carried on. They also did valuableservice by patrolling the occupied pri-vate residences, issuing instructionsregarding sanitation, and seeing thatthese instructions were carried out.Like the police, the naval units wereregarded with the greatest admirationin Napier. .

FLYERS OF THE NORTH

CONQUERING THE ARCTIC

A THRILL FOR A WIFE

(From "The Post's" Representative.)VANCOUVER, 7th January.

Wasson and Walsh, aviator andminer, who recently rescued the twocompanions of Captain Burke, who diedof' starvation and exposure six -weeksafter, being forced down in the moun-tains north of the British Columbia-Yukon border, are types that are bring-ing the Arctic into the ambit of civil-isation. 'Wasson, a youthful American, hasbeen flying the Yukon for three years.He has just come out to claim hisbride, who is now on her way northwith him. Walsh, a Maritimes Canuck,brought his bride into the land of theMidnight Sun twenty years ago. Sheis still there. ." Of these Arctic types, Service wrote:"A race of men that don't fit in,A race that don't stand still;So they break the hearts of kith and"' ' kin ■. ■And roam the worid at will."

Walsh haa beeii both placer and hardrock miner. With the former, pay isprompt, at every washup. . But thelattor involves a long wait for pay-ment, while ore is mined, sorted, bag-ged, and "rawhided" to the river atMayo, there to be transferred to theStewart Biver steamer, reshipped upthe Yukon to Whitehorsc, then overthe rail to Skagway, and 1000 milesby steamer down the coast to thesmelter.

The wives of those men deserve aspecial niche in the record. One ofthem tells of a tour' by air with herhusband to inspect his prospectingoperations in four distant fields, withWalsh in charge, in a letter to Mrs.George Black, F.R.G.S., wife of theSpeaker of the Canadian House ofCommons, who has represented theYukon since he mined there as a sour-dough in the days of the Klondykerush:—

"A TREMENDOUS THRILL.""Livingston was making the round

of his prospecting parties, and askedmo if I would like to go with him. Iwas really a little timid, but couldnot miss such a trip. We flew outover the end of Mayo Lake, across theStewart and Fraser Palls, on acrossthe winding MacMillan, and a series ofrather high mountains, with Drome-dary and Lone Mountains outstanding,then across the Pelly with the GlenLyion Range at our right, on overa sea of .jagged saw-tooth peaksin never-ending procession, and thensuddenly found ourselves over a verystoop precipice with two lakes almostdirectly beneath us. ■

"We descended from 7000 feet veryrapidly and taxied up to the first campsite, which we found deserted—thethree men belonging there evidentlyout prospecting, or perhaps hunting, forwe found no meat. Then out to DruryLake to see another party. Found theyhad moved, but^left a cheese-cloth sig-nal with arrow pointing to their nowcamp direction. So we took off again,and presently saw tho smoke of thenew camp.

"After ai sumptuous meal of moosetenderloin and blueberries, we took offagain for a small lake in the M'Arthurmountains. The lake was set like asapphire among greenhillß. Iwas busy■watching activities at a beaver damon tho side of the lake, when sudden-ly the 'piano turned at an angle of 45degrees and side-slipped into tho lake.But, at that, it was nothing to the turnwe took when landing at Drury Lake;that must have angled sixty.

"The'entire trip lasted from 10 a.m.to G p.m., so that I feel quite like aseasoned flyer—and really had a tre-mendous thrill."

THREE-YEAR PLANRESTORING AUSTRALIA

WHAT EXPERTS THINK

THEODORE, MAN OF MYSTERY

United Press Association—By Electric Tele-; "

eraph—Copyright. 'CANBEEEA, Bth February.A reduction by £15,000,000 a year

in the Government expenditure is thebasis of a three-year plan drawa up bya committee of experts to restore Aus-tralia's prosperity. "The alternative,"the experts say, "is to default in theGovernment's payments, the evils ofwhich would bo immeasurably greaterthan the hardship which a nation wouldbe asked to face."

The danger of inflation is stronglycondemned. "This is not the road torecovery, but to collapse.

"A reduction of interest rates bysavingß banks is also a possible meansof bringing about a fall in interestcharges: Pensions of all kinds shouldbe revised and made the subject of aclose examination.

"The curtailment of road expendi-ture is imperative. Employment mustbe made profitable, and all obstacles toreduced costs must be removed."

THEODORE'S ALTERNATIVES.Mr. E. G. Theodore explained > his

long-awaited financial policy, at ythoPremiers' Conference, advocating therestoration of the 1929 currency levels,and claiming that the adoption of thisplan would increase the national incomeby about £100,000,000.

He expressed the opiniou that thiswould provide work for between100,000'and 200,000 persons, and wouldcause an additional production ofmaterial wealth amounting to £■30,000,----000. He emphasised that the reduc-tion in interest rates which would bethe effect of his policy was tho logicalway of escaping from the burden whichwas becoming more, and more onerousevery week. There would be no repudia-tion of obligations, but there would beequality of sacrifice.- The "Sunday Press" points out thatby his speech, Mr. Theodore has on-linnced his reputation as a mysteryman, for, while hinting:at a reductionctt interest rates, ho failed specificallyto state how he would carry' out hispolicy, leaving the Premiers wonderingwhether it is tantamount to .inflation.

Th« conference has adjourned untilMopday.

SLAVES IN RUSSIASOVIET TIMBER CAMPS

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE

POLITICAL PKISONERS

United Press Association—By Electric Tele-graph—Copyright.

LONDON, 7th February.Commander Bellairs has sent a letter

to Mr. Bamsay MacDonald, drawing at-tention to Lord Ponsonby's attitudo inthe- House of Lords in contending thatthe evidence of slavery in Soviet tim-ber camps was insufficient, and showedthat only 60,000prisoners were labour-ing in the forests. .

He! forwarded nine affidavits- fromescapees, including an ex-official of theO.G.P.U:,declaring. that there were662,200prisoners in the timber-campson sth January of last year.

The affidavitof Nicholas Malysheff, amedical assistant in-'the Bed Army, whowas sentenced to three years' imprison-ment for anti-Soviet propaganda, andspent a year in the Solovki camp, as-serts that the barrack floors are merelyearth and practically an ice-blockthroughout the year. The ceilings areleaky and the barracks are unheated.

The prisoners, who .are all politicals,sleep on bare planks unless they pos-sess their own bedding. There is ter-rible' overcrowding, and a typhus epi-demic has/killed tens of thousands.>.IWdffck in .the winter, times lasts fromfive in'the tnorning until eight in theevening. Theprisoners are each forcedto fell and strip thirty-five trees daily.In many eases they are freezing owingto lack of clothing. Lads from fifteento seventeen years of age get the sametasks as men.. The hospitals are over-crowded and tho patients lie' on. thefloors. The mortality is 15 per cent.

Another relates that his- convoy con-sisted of 137 men and women who we'resent to the camp near Parantola., Theconvicts, working in groups of three,hand-fell and trim fifty largo .treesda,ily, and a proportionate* number of'smaller ones. . . ■ ,

A third affidavit states, that; out of290,000 prisoners at Solovetsk, 19,000died of typhus in May-of last year.

ESCAPEES' STORY

Sir ;E. Hiltou Young, ConservativeM.P. for Sevenoakß,.has sent to, thePrim© Minister, Mr; MacDonald, swornstatements by three escaped Bussians asto the appalling; conditions; of slaveryinthe Soviet lumber camps wheretim-ber is prepared for export to Britain(says the "Daily Mail").

Sir Hilton Young says that the threemen.are prepared, to give evidence onoath if it ia. taken in private, ,and,asks:— ■ "■"■

VDoes the Government propose totake any steps to put a stop to a.tradewhich is stamped with, the worst feat-ures of servile labour? . i"Trade carried on in such "conditionsis not only unfair to workers in theBritish timber industry, it is a disgraceto civilisation, and it is:not consistentwith our traditional reputation, for jhumanity that Great Britain should jcontinue to engage in it."

The three Russian prisoners, whohave been living in this country sinceJune, escaped in a British', ship fromArchangel.-One is a Cossack, anothera farmer, and- tho third a shopkeeper.Two had been engaged iv loading tim-ber at the Archangel camp, and thethird in felling, and they give'the fol-lowing figures of prisoners employed inother Russian lumber camps:—Vish-esky, on the North Dvina Eiver, 30,000prisoners; Ussolsk, 10,000; Penujsky,25,000; Kotlas, 30,000; Solovetsky, 20,----000;Kema, 20,000.

At the time the men escaped there^were 100 ships being loaded with tim>ber at Archangel, and about 500" pris-oners were employed for'loading eachship.

The statements these men have swornto as to the terrible conditions in thecamps are claimed to confirm revela-tions previously made in the "DailyMail." They say:— ,

The food consisted of 2Jlb of bread,which was given to-a prisoner only ifho fulfilled his task. If he could notdo so his ration was cut down accord-ingly*. Sometimes a prisoner got onlylib of bread a day, or less.

"There iB no medical aid to be ob-,tamed, and prisoners have to work,whether ill or injured, until they falldown. The Communists say that theydo not mind if 20 or 30 millions dieoff, because most of them being politi-cal prisoners or persons who. do notagree with Communistv views lit wouldbe as well that they should die in thisway. ..■'■""If a prisoner is too weak to work

he is flogged and put into a hole dugin the earth, and as ho is in rags andgeis hardly any food when he is*notworking ho dies very soon in the in-tense/cold. ■'.-,■

"The wives and children of the pris-oners are taken1from their homes andsent miles away from any town or vil-lage and left to inakc the best of it.They receive no money, and only get asmall pittance in the way of food. _Onthe Biver Lusa, in the north, there is acamp which contains 30,000 of thesewomen and children." i-

THE FLAG IS FLYING

RESTORATION THE WATCH-WORD

(By Our Special Reporter.)

"The King is dead—long live theKing!" Tl'is old motto fits the situa-tion in the carthquako area. There

" have been heavy losses,but communitycontinues. Individuals have died, but

"thousands arc ready to step into their'places. Terrible as the Napier-Hastings

' earthquake is, its ravages are not great—relative to the spirit and the re-sources of the community.

And behind the local community. stand the people of New Zealand. TheDominion is behind Hawkes Bay. Andit may be found that tho Empjire isbehind the Dominion, financially andin other ways.

Any kind of a balance-sheet thatcan be drawn"up, however loaded withdebits, will show assets of a value thatmake tho losses insignificant.

WINNING A GOOD FIGHT.The word "evacuation" has never

had any meaning except as a temporaryexpedient to withdraw people (women. and children) who at the moment maynot be effective working units, andwhose temporary absence will reducerisk of pestilence without hindering the■work of Restoration.

The word to-day is not Evacuation,but Kestoration. Restoration includesrenewal of communications, .water,drainage, light, power, etc. Giventhese, community life in the earthquakearea can fight any earthquake after-effects (fire, food shortage, pestilence,etc.).

And if earthquake action shakes thorestored things down again, the spiritof Hawkes Bay and New Zealand will■ restore them again.

Nothing that has yet occurred hascome within even a remote distance ofmaking the area . untenable. Anyone"who examines the factors relatively willsee, that clearly.

Military people know the shock valueof a surprise attack. Vfeii, Napier andHastings met on Tuesday the mostsudden surprise attack on record. Theshake and the consequent fire damagethey could not prevent. But the build-ings that are burned cannot be burned,again, and the enemy cannot againhave all the advantages of a surpriseattack.

RECURRING TREMORS.The defence organisation that began

to grow the day after the paralysingsurprise, and which is ■ still growing

BUILDERS SURPASS THE UN-BUILDER

with greater and greater momentum,is fur moro resilient to renewed at-tacks than was the peaceful com-munity oil last Tuesday morning.

.Besides,,there is every probabilitythat the initial blow of tho enemycan-not be repeated. Established experi-ence (including that of the last twoyears in the South Island) shows thatminor and major post-earthquakeshocks arc to be expected. But theymark a tapering off and not a working-up.

On Thursday, looking at tho greatrush northward of relief motor-cars onthe Hawkes Bay main road, who wouldhave thought that the Bailway Depart-ment would liavo restored rail com-munication with Napier inside of afortnight? But—hey, presto, and thething was done. There was magic inthis restoration of a battered railway.And the same story will bo told' ofwater, drainage, electricity, etc.

When Hastings was struck, its reticula-jtion of water pipes, drainage pipes,sewers, and light and power lines wasstruck. Operators' of these vital ser-vices were driven back from the re-ticulation to the. nerve-coutre, thepower-house. Hero was generated thepower to supply electric light and towork the pumps that lift the 'sewerage.

COURAGE AT POWER-HOUSE.At this citadel of community' service,

passers-by on Wednesday saw that thelife spark lingered, and they marvelledthat electric lights should be burningso soon after the Tuesday crash. Andnow comes information that tho menwho kept tho flag flying in that Hast-ings power-houso did so in far moretrying circumstances than the passer-by realised. The building was moreaffected by earthquake than appearedfrom the outside. With cacli shockthose men in the power-house ran arisk. But they could not run out ascivilians would run out of a shakingwooden dwelling. They had to stickto.their post. And stick they did.Hence the spark at tho centre of thepower system did not die out, aud pre-sently it spread its rays abroad againas retieulative systems were restoredto. a thankful pebple.

The question is not how fast thecarthquako can knock something down,but how fast we can put it up again.

The machine is being restored at arate that will.retrieve many losses,andthe foundations of a new emergencyfinance—beginning with the State FireOffice action—are being prepared.

WATER AND HEALTHTHE CLEANING UP

NAVY AND VOLUNTEERS

The stunning effect of the great blowto Napier has worn off, except perhapsto many people outside who aro justbeginning to realise its extent, andorganisation, is taking the place ofvery pardonable disorganisation in thestricken district. Assistance has beenforthcoming in an amazingly generousmanner from all sections of the peopleof New Zealand, and the Governmentias sanctioned with all possible speedthe energies of all tho Departmentsable to assist, members of which wereonly awaiting the official announce-ments to spring into the breach. Napieris now not only organised, -but work-ing at feverish speed to restore theroads and the various supplies whichspell cleanliness and health; even thotelephonic communication and lightingaro receiving practical attention.

CLEARANCE OF STREETS."A wonderful clearance has been made

in ,the ruined streets already. Massesof brick and debris are being carted«iway in lorries. Blasting is removingthe moro obstinate remains of build-ings. The tragic work of-removingbodies still proceeds, but now the blue-jackets are wearing, gas masks, andchloride of lime is freely used. Hithertothe use of picks in breaking. up themasses of masonry has not been allow-ed because of the uncertainty of theposition.of bodies,but hope lias slowly,.and unwillingly died regarding thoseburied in the ruins, and soon all meanspossible must be used to clean up anddisinfect the tovru.

The health aspect of llic city's plight,lias not been overlooked. No.sourceof water is above suspicion, even ar-tesian suplies being subject to inter-ference and contamination through■tn-isted and burst pipes, and now all-vvatcris'-chlorinated, except some which

.is brought from wells outside tho close-ly-settled area. Sanitary services aro-n-jeing established, and a house-to-houseinspection is being made with the ob-ject of cleaning up homes where every-thing was left when the womeff wereevacuated.

" Decomposing food lies everywhere onthe floors, were it fell, and there arenueh thing's as butchers' old stocks andtho disposal of the vast amount ofmeat in cold storage, which would haveconstituted a real menace unless dealt

' with. The interiors of homes tell thestory of the tragedy most pathetically.It is the jam season, and in the fav-oured fruit district of Hawkes Baymost housewives had just finished mak-ing their year's supply. This is spreadin a sticky sheet on the floors, mixedwith broken glass that crunches undertho feet. Here there is a mixed fruitsalad, ready for the dinner that neverwas eaten, and there lies the day's roastuncooked and the vegetables ready forthe stove. Even filleted fish Ho farfrom the plates on which they wereawaiting the frying pan. All this lit-ter must be'cleaned up.

STEADY PROGRESS.Nearly 1000 voluntary workers have

Ibeen enrolled, and under tiie guidancoof the Public Works Department thereis,a system of steady work that hasproceeded without cessation during thedaylight hours. With the aid ofHights, work will be possible'both dayaDd night. The -risky work done bythe Navy of demolishing hanging wallsand extricating bodies cannot be toohighly praised, the more ghastly ofthese duties being carried out just asrelatives would wish. The presence ofthe Navy, in fact, has made for secur-ity of effects and decency in these piti-ful recoveries that would otherwise.nave been far from certain. -».

The local arrangements under com-munity control have also been moreefficiently organised, and the rapiditywith which the streets are being clean-ed up is remarkable. Napier is re-covering its civic consciousness,andthe matter of reconditioning the cityis being thoroughly gone into. En-gineers are examining water levels,andthe house-to-house service is being test-ed and gradually restored.

The stability of all buildings for thecarrying on of business is being de-termined by expert advice, and re-erec-tions are only sanctioned by the com-mittee. There is to be nothing haphaz-ard in the reconstruction methods, asthis is to be gone into by the Govern-ment architect and the designing cn-ghieeer of the Public Works Depart-

ment, while the town-planning headswill be consulted as to new lay-outs.The revival of the civic sense is shownin suggestions already being made thatsome of the smaller defects in Napier'slay-out can be remedied in the pro-cess. The question of education ia be-ing considered.

CLEARING THE RUINS

THE TASK IN HAND

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT

One of tho most important parts in

the restoration of public services ivthe Hawkes Bay district is being playedby the Public Works Department, andplant and men have already been as-sembled there and are tackling the for-midable task of demolishing ruinedbuildingß,clearing away the debris, andgetting the shattered roads into orderagain. The Engineer-in-CMef (Mr. F.W. Furkert), tho Inspecting Engineer(Mr. L. B. Campbell), and the engineerin chargo of tho Napier district (Mr.A. Dinnie) are ciire'eting operations. Itwas Mr. Binnio who was caught bythe earthquake »vhile motoring fromTaupo to Napier, and who had to walkinto Napier. The Government Archi-tect (Mr. J. Mair) and the DesigningEngineer (Mr. W. L. Ncwnham) wentup on Saturday.

Mr. C. J. M'Kenzie, Assistant En-ginccr-in-C'hief", stated to-day that aportable compressor plant, with powerdrills, had been sent,uponFriday, andon Saturday a caterpillar tractor with a"bulldozer" was dispatched. An Auck-land firm had lent a petrol-drivou ux-cnyaton to the Department, and it wasshipped to Napier on Saturday. OnSaturday niglit word was received fromMr. Furkert to send up the Thew steamsltov.cl, which was going away to-day.The Department had between" five andsix hundred men at work in the devas-tated area-, .and tho work was' goingahead as fast as possible under -the dif-ficult circumstances. Fortunately^ suffi-cient material was available at Welling-ton to meet the demands so far made,and it was anticipated that the De-partment's resoureos would be able tocope with the situation.

ROYAL CONTRIBUTIONGIFTS FROM SANDRINGHAM

INQUIRIESIN LONDON

LONDON, 7th February.Sir Thomas Wilford has been notified

from Sandringham that the King issending £500 and the Queen £250 forNew Zealand sufferers iv the earth-quake disaster.

"Tho Times," in a leader referring toSir Thomas Wilford's letter and the pre-sent economic depression, states: "Itwill make reconstruction more burden-some, severely testing the sturdy self-reliance upon which New Zealandorspride themselves. Admiration of theirfino spirit and sympathy with this mis-fortune will encouragemany more tofollow the example of those who havealready contributed."

ANXIOUS INQUIRIES.There were dramatic scenes at the

New Zealand officeswhen hundreds firstlearned whether relatives were safo ordead,bringing realisation of how closeto Britain was this distant tragedy.

A little old Cockney woman came tothe large room where tho casualty listwas published, asking the fate of herex-soldier son. A Londou business manlearned of his brother's safety, and ayoung wife heard of her husband'sdeath.

A Now Zoalander anxiously scannedthe list to discover the safety of hiswii'e and family. Another was anxiousto learn of the damage done to a bank.Many fears were dispersed, and manyflickering hopes raised. Many doubtswore turned to grief, notably for four3'oung Air Force men who are amongtho eighty New Zealand-born airmenserving in Britain. They learned thetragicnews of families and homes wipedout.

Numerous telephone inquiries werereceived from Scotland and the IrishFree State regarding victims whoso re-latives are throughout Britain.

REBUILDING COSTESTIMATE OF MILLIONS

REPLACEMENT VALUES

£By Telegraph.—Press Association.)HASTINGS, Bth February.

An attempt made to obtain fromthose best qualified an estimate of thedamage has proved futile. Nobodyknows nor will know for many weeks.It is perfectly certain that it will reachnot one or two, but several millionpounds.

Gnu calculation alone, and it is buta bagatelle, gives .'in astonishing re-sult in Hastings. Strictly within thelimits of the borough boundary, the re-building of chimneys and repairs toroofs will cost at the absolute mini-mum £90,000. The rebuilding or re-pairing of the three freezing workswill cost probably £200,000 at least.. It would not be in the slightest de-gree an exaggeration to say that amongIthe business premises the proportionof total destruction cither at the timeof, the earthquake or in the way offuture necessity before rebuilding canbe gone on with, is 90 per cent.

The- following arc a few of thebuildings in the condition specified,with estimates of their value on a re-placement basis:—Grand Hotel, £43,----000;Roach's, Ltd., £25,000; UnionBank, £15,000; National Bank, £25,----000;Cosy Theatre, £30,000; MunicipalTheatre, £20,000.

Those are nothing more than in-stances and arc not quoted as repre-senting the bulk of the town's loss inbusiness premises of entire blocks. Nota sound wall is left in the outskirts ofthe borough, and the losses at Have-lock North will add many thousandsto the total.

According to the 1930 Year Book thecapital value of the land and improve-ments of Napier is £4,424,000, and ofHastings £3,321,000. The losses ofstock in the shops will be enormous.There is also the indirect loss by thesuspension of business to consider, yet,the Hastings residents speak in grati-tude that their experience was not sodisastrous as Napier's.

GOVERNOR ARRIVES

11,000 EVACUATED

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

HASTINGS, Bth February.

After a comparatively quiet night—nothing serious being felt between 11p.m. and 5 a.m.—several moderatelyheavy shakes occurred.

This morning demolition work was inprogress.

The post office is now open continu-,ously.It is estimated that eleven thousand

people have been evacuated fromNapuer. Very few women and child-ren aro now in the area.

Yeoman work is still being done bylocal and visiting volunteers. Thewater services are being restored in afurther area, and water chemicallytreated at the pumping station.

Thcru is no continuation of rumoursconcerning disease,and relief work isproceeding with wonderful precision.The patrol system is quite capable ofcoping with any position.

The Governor-General arrived by atrain which also carried water. Theweather is dull but improving.

The warships Dunedin and Diomcdeare anchored closer in at Napier andnow occupy the usual Admiraltyanchorage.

The "Hawkes Bay Tribune," in to-day's Bulletin No. 4, says that the con-tinuance of minor shocks is the normalresult of the big shake. It is reliablystated that there is no cause for alarm.

SENSATIONAL REPORTS

NO JUSTIFICATION ,(By Telegraph.—Pros* Association.l

NAPIER, This Day.Nothing has occurred since the ori-

ginal earthquake to justify any sensa-| tional statements, no matter whomakes or publishes them. The organisa-tion is working splendidly. There isno fever, and no flood, and there areno further fires;

An.inspection of the country revealsithat the river banks have been*badlydamaged, but these are being repaired. ;

A bank is being erected round thebase of the Hospital Park-racecourse,which is not as much above the sealevel as i(. existed prior to the begin- jning of the disaster.

Although there has been much minorthieving, nothing serious has :becn re-1ported. ,

The town and district are almost do-void of women and children. Men arebeing given work in all directions, butthere'is much to do.

(Ey Telegraph.—Press Association.)NAPIEE, This Day.

A violent shock at 9.30 last nightcaused further alarm, but there wereno further shakes, beyond tremors,till daylight. Most people got in agood night's rest.' At 8.45 a.m. to-daya still more violent shake, lasting aminute, occurred. It did not cause 80much alarm, being in daylight. I

Refugees are requested to refrainfrom returning till they are advisedthat the town is safp. The fact thatthe earth is so cracked and broken isevidently dissipating the shocks, sothat vryy little further damage is be-ing done except to dangerous buildings,walls, etc., which continue to collapse.

NO TIME LOSTPALMERSTOS'S ORGANISATION

Palmerston North city lost no time in.organismg /relief measures when newsof the earthquake was received. A hur-ried meeting of citizens was called byMessrs. J. Linklater and "J. A. Nash,M.P. 's'; and within a short time 150motor-cars were ready t otransport re-fugees from Napier and Hastings. Citi-zens got to work and prepared thobuildings in the showgrounds for thereception of the refugees, and also fit-ted,v paccommodation at the Awapuniraciu'ourse. About 3500 refugees weretaken to Palmcrston North. The showgrounds accommodated 3000, the race-course several hundreds, and otherswere billeted.'"The organisation in Palmerston

North was wonderful," said a visitorin conversation with a "Post" report-er to-day. "Everybody worked hard,and though it is impossible to, singleany person out for special credit, men-tion should be made of the work doneby Mr. M'Kenzie, secretary of theAutomobile Association."

The housing of the refugees entailedmuch detailed wpvk, but bands of will-ing helpers were >ou duty at all hours,and no onn.was heard to complain.

GEOLOGISTS' REPORT

NO MORE BIG SHAKES

IMMUNITY FOE MANY YEARS

NAPIEK, .This Day.Dr. Henderson,Director of Geological

Survey, and Dr. Marshall, of tho Pub-lic Works Department, have issued thefollowing report:—"Geological opin-ion is based upon tho experience gainedin previous earthquakes not only inNow Zealand but in all parts of theworld. Speaking on this basis, there-fore, it can be definitely stated that thecourse of the present disturbance isdecidedly past, and although numerousshakes and tremors may be recurring,they will not approach in magnitudetho first very severe shakes, but willgradually diminish on the average fromnow onwards. A long period of earth-quakes in this particular area is mostunlikely, and we think it can bo statedthat this locality will be relatively im-mune from earthquakes for a longperiod of years."

NAPIER HOUSE BURNEDNAPIEK, Bth February.

Before noon lire broke out at Mr.Peter Briseoe's house in Napier terrace.The brigade, with tanks of water onwagons,soon got control and preventedthe fiau-.esspreading, but the buildingwas destroyed and others were damaged.

A line of trucks kept up the watersupply. . .

AT WAIROA

ONLY FOUR LIVES LOST

MUCH DAMAGE TO PROPERTY

" A first-hand account of the severityof the earthquake and its effects atWairoa was given to a "Post" repre-sentative to-day by Mr. H. U. Tennent,manager of tho Hawkes Bay MotorCompany at Wairoa. Mr. Tennent ar-rived in' Wellington last night fromWairoa, via Hastings, by aeropUtfie,and after having conferred this inom-ing with the Railway Department,Transport Department, Health, Depart-ment, and other officials, left BongotaiAerodrome on the return trip by/ aero-plane this afternoon. '■

Mr. Tennent said that, so *far as hoknew, only four lives had been'lost atWairoa, but considerable damage hadbeen done to property by■ the earth-

| quake, which, judging from tho scenesof devastation, had been equally severeas in Napier, although, of course, atWairoa there were lesn bii.ek premisesthan in Napier. "Fortunately - forus," said Mr. Tehnenfc, ''the shock oc-curred at an hour of the day when veryfew people were about in the streets.Tho bulk of the shop fronts of con-crete and brick buildings in the town,feJl out into the .etretjt; in fact, fromwhat I saw, all ibrick buildings col-lapsed. : Someof ;the wooden buildingsclose to the waterfront collapsed also.The bridge at Wairoa was 'pinched,'and col)apsed, arid the shake that oc-curred there yesterday has made it im-passable."

WATER BEING CARTED.I The jvater/service, said Mr. Tennent,was disorganised. After the first shocksome of the mains were connectedagain,. but with little success, forwater ooied up out of the ground inmany places, and at present the HawkesBay Motor Company was keeping thetown supplied with water, drawn fromwells in the borough and distributedin tanks on the company's lorries.When he left for Wellington the com-pany was carting about 7000 gallons ofwater daily, and as the tanks that had

standing ran dry, more would'be required. They were now bringingNorth Clyde into the water schemealso. ->,-.

Mr. Tenncut said that splendid workwas being done by Mr. M'Leod, healthofficer at Wairoa, who had been work-ing night and day. " Ho had also boeuvery ably assisted by a- number ofothers.

FOOD SUPPLY.Questionedabout the food supply,

Mr.: Tennent stated that as far as liehad been able to judge< there was suffi-cient in the {own to last $ week or afortnight. Road communication, how-ever, was available with Gisborne andEotorua, and negotiations were now intrain for the establishment of a ferryservice over the Wairoa River thatwbuld accommodate two loaded lorries,or two or three motor-cars.'Before he left for Wellington Mr.

Tennent said .that the electrical systemhad- been restored to some extent. Asmall quantity of electric power wasavailable, and some people were able todo their cooking with it. There hadbeen oneserious !firc which had destroy-ed the freezing works, and as a resultthere were now about 200 men out ofwork in addition to the 160 or 180 whohad previously been on the rolls. Oneor two houses had also;been destroyedby fire, but the collapse of the bridgeand the consequent snapping of theelectrical communications had undoubt-edly prevented more fires breaking out."I should say," concluded Mr. Ten-

nent, "that the principal upheaval oc-curred between Napier and Wairoa—somewhere north of Napier. There doesnot seem to be much prospect of directroad communication between Napierand Wairoa'being restored for somemonths to come." Efforts, however,were being made to' arrange for rail-way communication to Putorino, andit would be possible for the HawkesBay Motor.Company to make connec-tion with the trainsnear there.RAILWAY DEPARTMENT ACTION., ..An ollieial of the .Railway Depart-ment said that the Hawkes Bay MotorCompany was linking up with the De-partment to run a daily service to andfrom Wairao, leavingat.6 a.m., via Eo-torua and Waikareuioana. Thatwasthebest route available at tho present time.Arrangements had also been made fora daily service from Wairoa to Mo*haka, and there, was a possibility ofthe line'between N.ipier and Putorinobeing reconditioned. An investiga-tion was being made in that eonenctionby the General Manager (Mi\ 11. H.Sterliug) 'mid departmental engineers.The railway lino was being recondition-ed, between Waikokopu and Wairoa,and that would enable food supplies tocome in by boat. /It was pointed out that the road

from liotorua to Wairoa, via Waikarc-moana, was new and was in excellentcondition, only one slip haying comedown, on it as a result of the earth-quake.. "In addition to the "servicesmentioned, a daily motor service wasalso being maintained from Wairoa toGisborne. ' ' i

WATER BEING CARTED

MATERNITY CASES

MOKE PROVISION NEEDED

The Health Department wishes it tobe widely known among those respon-sible for the care of refugees from theearthquake area that in the case of ex-pectant mothers or those recently con-lined, any further necessary arrange-ments should be made through the hos-pital board of the district in which thewomen are for the time being resident.

All hospital boards concerned havebeen requested by the Health Depart-ment to co-operate with existing organ-isations and to arrange for the ante-natal care, the confinement, and theafter-care of the mother and infantfor as long as may be necessary. Al-ready in Wellington, a suitable homehas, by the kindness of Lady Bell, beenplaced at the disposal of the authori-ties 'for the purpose of housing a con-siderable number of women who areshortly expecting their confinementandwho have had to leave their homes.

Anyone who can offer similar facili-ties in other districts where these maybe required are invited to communicatewith the hospital boards of those dis-tricts. It must be recognised that manyexpectant mothers and those recentlyconfined will require a great deal ofcare before, during, and after labour,and owing to the fact that many willnot have homes to return to, provisionfor the care of mother and infant wil]be required for some weeks after thebirth. This after-care can in most casesbest be provided for in homes speciallyestablished for the purpose. Co-opera-tion and help will be appreciated. Com-munication should, in the first instance,be made to the local hospital board ofthe district where prospective patientsare residing temporarily.

All organisations interested in mater-nal and child welfare arc invited to co-operate with their local hospital boardsto assist in this emergency. ' I

MEDICAL CARE

ACTIVE MEASURES

SAWITARY PRECAUTIONS

M) SIGN OF DISEASE

The steps taken by the Health De-partment to provide for the medicaland' nursing care of the injured have.already been made .known. In addi-,lion, precautions are being taken toavoid any epidemic ,iii the strickenarea. Dr. T. M'Kibbin (Director ofPublic Hygiene), Dr. Hughes (Auck-land), Dr. Telford (Christchurch), Dr.Eitchie (Dunedin),' Dr. JTindlay, Dr.Mercer, and Dr. M'Lean (Wellington),together with a number of sanitary in-spectors, are at Napier, co-operatingwith the local authorities in taking themeasures ecessaryto ensure the main-tenance of sanitation, and in. the1 re-establishment of water supply and sani-tary services. This work is being car-ried out not only in the residentialareas, but also in the refugee camps.Dr. R. 11. Makgill, consulting medicalofficer, came down from Auckland toheadquarters to take temporary duty inthe absence of the permanent head-ofthe Department at Napier.

Medical officers of the Departmentstate that so far there is little evidenceto create fear in regard to epidemics.It is fortunate, they say, that the Na-pier-Hastings area is free from typhoidfever. During last year not one caseof typhoid was reported from thatarea. This means that there are prob-ably few natural carriers of the infec-tion present in the district. This mini-mises greatly the danger where sewagehas escaped from broken, sewers,etc. As an extreme precaution, a.cer-tain amount of chloriiiation has beendone to the waters in both centres. Ananalysis of the waters is proceeding.In regard to Hastings, the results, al-though not complete, are most encour-aging. As to Napier, it is too soon yetto make a definite statement.

Mention has been made of the advisa-bility of administering anti-typhoidserum generally to all inhabitants of-the area. This, according to medicalopinion, would bo a very extreme step,and.is, not warranted by known condi-tions: Supplies of anti-typhoid serumarc, however, ready and on the spot,should necessity arise. A doctor ofthe Health Department and a seniorsanitary inspector have been detailedfor special duty at the refuge camp atPalmerston North. "Wojk, both in regard to the hospitalsand to sanitation, is proceeding smooth-)y and satisfactorily; and the co-opera-tion of the hospital boards and otherlocal bodies is stated'to be most praise-worthy. The advantages of a Statehealth and hospital servico come intorelief in an emergency such as thepresent...

HASTINGS SANITATIONVERY SATISFACTORY

REVERENCE FOR DEAD

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

Mr. Hughes, health officer, statesthat from a health point of view theposition is very satisfactory in thatnecessaryservices 'are being maintain-ed as in normal times. The earthquakehas not unnaturallygivenrise to specialconditions necessitating special precau-tions to be taken in regard to watersupplies, and the possibility of fly andother nuisances being created by thedestruction of premises containing de-composed foodstuffs, and throughbroken sanitary fittings.

Dr. Hughes contradicts any falserumours which,have been circulated re-garding outbreaks of disease, and statesdefinitely that there is not one case ofdisease to create any alarm in theborough of Hastings.

Dr.'Hughes went on to state that thegreatest credit was due to the BoroughCouncil authorities for the nianner inwhich they immediately dealt with thesituation, and he greatly appreciatesthe invaluable assistance given him inall directions. ■ i

Sister T'illon, who is in charge of themortuary depot at Hastings, has askedthat the following report be circulated:"Within an hour of the earthquake amortuary hospital was established,andbythe end of the day nearlyfifty bodießbad been eared for. /I'hey were cheek-ed by the records oflicer and the police,ami numbered by a sister, the policechecking the numbers. Also a numberwas attached, to each cofi'in,-which thegraveside officials also checked. Eela-tions and friends only were alVowed toview the bodies for identification.- Itmust be understood that some bodieswere beyond possibility of identifica-tion. AVords fail to express'the tinedepth of courtesy, gentleness, and rever-ence shown by the police in handling'the'dead. Magnificent work was doneby all undertakers, who worked dayand night. The clergy report that .allburials were properly conducted, andthat the graves are being properlytended." " , : 'The Hastings borough engineer, Mr.C. Evans, states that the water supplyis quite satisfactory, and that lOOlbspressure is obtainable to-day.f Thesewerage is functioning quite well,there Tjeing only one small sub-stationtc be repaired.

At the daily meeting of the HastingsCitizens' Committee'this morning, Mr.AY. J. Rogers, Mayor of Wanganui,offered' the practical assistance of histown. He congratulated the committeeon its splendid organisation, and dis-cussed matters of finance and thesupply of foodstuffs.

Colonel H. Holderness reported thatit had been found impossible to get anyoutside police assistance immediately,but there would be numbers of con-stables from other towns arriving heredaily. Meantime it had been arrangedwith Commissioner Wohlmann to havevolunteer pickets carry on until nextWednesday at least, when the positionwill be reviewed. The Commissionergave an assurance that an officer andeighteen constables would come to1 thedistrict immediately, and control thestreets, which would ■ then be handedover. The visiting force is to boattached to the force of twenty-twomilitary officers, seven of whom arepermanent officers of the Defence De-partment. This would mean that therewould be a force of forty police inuniform. They will take care of theoutside residential area.It is expected that by Wednesday

many residents will have returned toHastings, and there will be moro life inthe residential area. Uniformed menwere much in evidence in the streetslast evening, and they did much to in-spire confidence,to say nothing of beingthe means of smoothing the nerves ofthe womenfolk by their presence nearby.

PROMPT ACTION

CABINET VISITS SCENE

ADMINISTRATION OF FUND

Kealising that Cabinet needs thefullest information' as to the extent ofthe disaster in order that there maybe no delay in the programme of re-habilitation, the Prime Minister (theEight Hon. G. W. Forbes) will,~togetherwith those Ministers of the Crown whohave not'already visited the scene,leave to-night at 8.30 by special trainfor Hastings and Napier. This trainwill also carry provisions and equip-ment. The Ministerial party will makea day's tour of the district and returnto Wellington to-morrow;night.

Mr, Forbes is extremely anxious thatthere should be no delay in the re-es-tablishment of the devastated area, andthe first meeting of tho Central Com-mittee, set up to administer the relieffunds, has been called for "Wednesdaymorning at 11.30. An hour earlierthere- will be a meeting of the WestCoast Committee to consider the trans-ferring of £10,000 held by that com-mittee to the new fund.

While discussing tho question ofearthquake relief, the Prime Minister,said that a Treasury inspector left'Wellington on Friday morning for thepurpose of assisting the preliminary or-ganisation of the local committee'srelief fund officesin the afflicted areas.On Saturday, the Public Trustee, whois the executive officer of the CentralCommittee, left for Hawkes Bay, andhe will assist in the organisation ofthe machinery necessaryto link up theCentral Committee with each localcommittee, and at the same time willlink up* the District Public Trust or-ganisations with each committee.

The Prime Minister stated that pre-liminary grants had already been madefrom the:Consolidated Fund to enableurgent cases of distress to be met inthe localities concerned.

TO DISPENSE RELIEFORGANISATION FORMED

DISTRIBUTION OF MONEY

(By.Telegraph.—Press Association.)HASTINGS, 7th . February.

A properly constituted organisationto take charge of the administration ofrelief funds was formed this morning.It will control Napier and Hastings.This step was the outcome of a con-ference attended by the Hon. A. J.Stallworthy, the Hon. J. G. Cobbe,Mr.Mitchell, of the Treasury Department,and the Mayors of the two towns.

Otherwise than financially the pre-sent organisation is entirely satisfac-tory and has the situation well in hand.It is satisfactory to know that pro-vision has been made at this early mo-ment to gqyern the distribution ofmonetary contributions. The peoplewill no doubt feel reassured by thisaction.' ■

The nucleus of each organisation con-sists of the local Mayor ,or chairman,with the local Public Trust officer andtwo business men as advisory mem-bers. Each regional executive will con-trol financial administration through-out the whole of its own affected area., Asked whether he had any knowledgeof.what steps the banks and PoVt OfficeSavings Bank were taking to arrangefinance' locally, Mr. Stallworthy saidthat for the present moment there wasnot the slightest need for earthquakevictims to feel any financial anxiety.Everything necessary to maintain lifein ordinary comfort and safety with-out charge is already available, and, asstated, financial relief was being or-ganised. ,

Mr. Stallwortby referred to headlinesand some newspaper reports which heconsidered reflected on a brave peoplewho had stood up with marvellous for-titude to a most crushing calamity-,andwho had evolved a miracle of organisa-tion. The Minister's remarks referredin. particular to newspaper referenceserroneously reporting the establishmentof martial law in Hastings.

"LITTLE NAPIER"

REFUGEES AT WOBURN

Sonic two years ago railway men em-ployed at Napier were transferred tothe new workshops at Woburn, togetherwith-tlieir, wives and 'children, and twolong roads"at Woburn arc occupied al-!most-solely by workers from Napier,!Otane, Wanganui, etc. To these for-mer residents of the stricken area havecome, fathers and mothers,brothers audsisters, relations-in-Jaw, aud friends.Messages .and telegrams ,were sent ,tothe folk in Napier to come and occupythe/room to spare, and this lias beengladly accepted. . .The; first batch ortwo were taken to Wellington for regis-tration, but some of the refugees weretoo upset to be taken again into a town.The difficulty was overcome by MajorAbel, who was in charge of Thorudonsheds,issuing refugee destination cardsto the secretary of the Lower Huttbranch of the Red Cross Society, who isregistering those able to come at thosociety's office in Feist's Buildings,andvisiting personally every home to whichrefugees in the district are arriving. Inthis way about sixty refugees who maypossibly have been lost sight of forpurposes of statistics have been placedon record and their immediate wantsascertained. 'As soon as the need for blankets wasmade known, supplies were given forthe refugees in the "Little Napier" ofLower Hutt by Messrs. B. Y. Shearerand Co. and Sir Alex. Boberts. . Oiiehome has eleven refugees, but nothingwill induce the girls of the party tosleep in the houso;they take their bedsto the verandah. All speak of thewonderful kindness shown them byevery organisation ou the journeydown,and by private individuals every-where.

Clothes and blankets were given outyesterday to urgent cases by Mrs.Joyce and Mr. Sowardat the Bed Crossofficesuntil after midnight. The mem-bers now known to be in the Hutt, mostof them in Woburn, are 91, and moreare expected to-night and to-morrow.A volunteer committee has been set up,and has given great service,under thoorganising secretary for the district,Mrs. Joyce. Messrs. J. J. Burko, Mr.Frank Thomas, Mr, Townscncl, Mr.George Blake, and Mr. Day have offeredthe services of their cars or bicycles.Mesdamcs Musseu (2), Burnley, audThompson helped distribute in relays,and Mr. K. Soward helped with regis-tration and transport, etc.. A squad ofhelpers from Wellington has been see-ing to the immediate food requirementsin the district, to enable them to carryon until further arrangements havebeen made.

RELIEF BY AIR

VALUABLE SERVICEPILOTS AND OFFICIALS

woke: night and daYj

Although little mention has been,made of the work done by the officer*of the New Zealand Air Force and club-trained pilots in the earthquakedisaster, the part played by theurhasbeen no small one. .

Pilots and organisers both in thedevastated area and at the eentres.flfdispatch worked day and night in anendeavour to grant relief 'for those ianeed. According to a resident of Wel-lington, who, since the day of thadisaster, has been in Hastings andNapier, the work of the flying men wasworthy of the highest praise. No hourswere too long for them to work, andno distance was too far for them totravel.

On the day of the tragedy two aero-planes, with club pilots at the controls,left the Rongotai Aerodrome forHastings, and at the same time pilots,at the Wigram and Hobsonville Aero-dromes were told to prepare for anyj,emergency. '■ ■

DRUGS BY AEROPI.ANE.As 'the medical supplies in Hastings

were all gone,arrangements were madain Wellington for supplies to be sentup, and on Wednesday morning twoaeroplanes were loaded up and. dis-patched from Kongotai. Two moramachines were also Bent from thaWigram Aerodrome to lend assistanceiv tbg stricken area. Other aeroplanes,laden with drugs,' followed at varyingintervals. The two machines fromWigram were engaged in carrying sup-plies to isolated districts. One aero-plane, with medical supplies and adoctoron board, made a trip to Waikari(35 miles north of Napier), where block-ed rivers and fallen cliff faces had cutoff all Ipominunication. In several caseswhero it was impossilylo to land, sup-plies were dropped by means of home-made parachutes.

The Director .of Air Services, Wing-Commander Graut-Dalton, was one ofthe busiest men in Hawkes Bay, and.under his direction everything wentsmoothly. InHastings he organised thetaking over of the aerodrome on behalfof the Government, and established itas a Government aerodrome in chargeof Squadron-Leader L. M. >Isittr Ha-personally supervised the whole of thearrangements, and the work was carriedout in the face of great difficulties. H»was successful, however, in doing every-'thing that was aske.d of him. On onaordinary day over 60 hours flying wersdone and 40 cross-country flights made.

Where required nurses were conveyedto the scene of the disaster by meansof aeroplanes. The Geologist Depart-ment at Wellington have been given: acomplete survey by air of all the slipsthroughout the district. A regular mailservice was kept between Gisborne,Napier, and Hastings, and telegramsby the thousands Wei's' dispatched allover the Dominion by liiearis of air ser-vices. ■ "■

A SMART JOURNEY.An aeroplane arrived at the Bongotai

Aerodrome at 2.30 p.m..yesterday withan urgent request from the Hastings'racecourse hospital for medical sup-plies.. The machine left on the returntrip at 4.30 p.m., and the supplies weredelivered in Hastings at 6.30 p.m. Othersupplies were ordered, but were toobulky for the aeroplane to carry, sothey were sent up .by motor-truck,which was.due in Hastings at about 1o'clock this morning. ;

For such a lot of flying around theaeroplanes need to bo kept in goodworking order, and mention must bemade of the two mechanics who hayoattended to that side' of it. Messrs.

,Pellow and! Sheenan worked day andnight in Hastings, doing nothing butoverhaul the machines as they came in.Heading the team of pilots, who hay«performed valuable service in th'»devastated area are Squadron-Leader-M.M. M'Gregor, -Flight-Lieutenants M. W.Buckley, H. B. Burrell, G. L. Stedman,S. Wallingford, G. B. Bolt, and thelate I. L. Kiglit. ' ■" . ' . 'Pilot-Oflieer C. M. Du.thic left Rongo-tai at 12.15 p.m. to-day with a furthersupply of medicine.and drugs.

Tho organisation of the available fly-ing forces, Defence and private, tomeet the emergency,has proved invalu-able. The ground engineers have been,kept very busy making minor repairs.The question of complete overhauls hasnot yet had time to become pressing,but some of the machines have been,kept hard at work. Since Tuesday.2o'planes belonging, to the New ZealandAir Force and aero clubs have been.continuously operating between the de-vastated area and Auckland and Wel-ljngton. From Wellington alone over20 trips to Hawkes Bay with urgentmedical stores, mails, and passengershave been made. The following pilotshavo' been engaged in these opera-tions: Squadron-Leaders <J.sitt, Sea-brook, and M'Gregor; Flight-Lieuten-ants Buckley, Burrell, Stedman, andSomerset-Thomas; Flight - OfficerDuthie; and Mr. M'Donald (civilian).These are/from the Wellington districtalone. Auckland aero clubs and othershave been engaged. Clubs which hayslent 'planes and pilots are: Wellington,Hawkes Bay, Auckland, Wairarapa-and Marlborough. ■ 'THE NATAL MEN

TEIBUTE BY DR. VALINTDTE

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)NEW PLYMOUTH, Bth February..

"A glowing tribute to the work ofthe naval men at Napier was pjlid by;Dr. T. H. A. Valintine, ex-Director-!General of Health, who has just re-turned to Taranaki.

"It would bo disastrous to Napierand the surrounding country if theNavy were withdrawn, as I understandis possible in the next few days," hasaid. "I sincerely hope some portion,of the bluejackets and marines are re-tained for police duty until the Bor-ough Council arid other authorities canfunction. There aro certain ghoulswho batten on the disaster. This dis-turbingelement has already made itselffelt, and for the administration ofNapier strong men arc needed."

Dr. ■Valintine said he was proud ofthe way the Government departmentswere tackling the great problem," a^ndappealed for co-operation with thePrime Minister in the stupendous taskahead.

Ho believed it would be a long timobeforeNapier could.be left unprotected,and suggested that the Navy should bogiven control or that a strong man,such os Mr. S. S. Allen, Administratorof Samoa,should be placed in charge.

Dr. Valintine said he believed Com-missioner AVohlmannhad arranged for37 additional police officers to go tathe district, but he believed even thaCommissioner of Police would recog-nise that force would not be sufficientif the naval men were'withdrawn. 'UNAUTHORISED COLLECTIONS

COMBINED BANKSTEMPORARY OFFICES

REBUILDING THE TOWN

NAPIER, Bth February.;Six banks have reached an agree-

ment to build combined offices of atemporary nature. The site chosenwill probably be part of the CatholicChurch property at the corner of Mon-roe and Dickens streets. .

Several firms are endeavouring tocommence operations on temporarypremises, and with a continuance ofpresent progress extensive works shouldsoon be in train. ■■■

It is undertsood that the question of■rebuilding the town is;to.form the sub-ject of discussion with the idea oftown planning. Consequently, nothingof a permanent nature will be per-mitted for , twelve months.. In themeantime, several firms announce thattemporary premises are to be erected.The '/Daily Telegraph"building is .tobe erected next the Catholic Churchimmediately. The new plant is expect-ed to arrive on Monday. :

Murdoch's bakery, the only buildingin use in the devastated area, has beentaken over by, the authorities.' Elec-tric power is being installed, and thefirm will operate three shifts at breadsmaking as from Monday. This is theonly bakery in commission in the town;

The postal facilities and railwaycommunications have improved. Sometelephones are in use. The money orderand letter departments are in the oldHawke's Bay Farmers' Buildings inStation street.

Sosuccessfulhas organisation becomethat water is now being pumped on topart of the hills and parts of flats. In-spection is proceeding in other locali-ties. The sewer system will receiveconsideration as soon as possible.

RATIONED WORK

NEW SCHEME IN FORCEPROPOSALS FOR TWO

MONTHS

The No. 5 scheme which, was an-nounced by the Unemployment Board afew days ago, came into operation to-day, and as a large number of localbodies have indicated that they willbe able to provide work under thisscheme it is hoped that the positionwill be considerably relieved.

Briefly, it has beon arranged that:(1) A single man will receive two days'work a week; (2) a man with, a wife,or a wife and one dependent child un-der 16 years of age, three days' workeach week; (3) a man with a wife andtwo or more dependent children under16 years of age, four days' work eachweek; (4) a widower with dependentchild,or children under 16 years of ageto,be treated as a married man.

Wages are to be paid at the rulingrate for the work undertaken. Thewage for local body labourers yariegin different places,. and the wage rateunder this scheme will \ vary accord-ingly. If any work involves skilledlabour, governed by awards, the wfcrdrate must be paid; but the board's sub-sidy in no ease will exceed the amountoperating on Government relief works,the difference in wages to be made upby the'local body in. cases where theaward rate 'is higher than the Govern-ment relief:work rates* .■.;

The duration of the scheme is fixed|as covering February and March, and:will., apply only to those unemployed!who have paid the levy instalment orwho have been exempted. Wages areto bfr paid each week by the localbodies, who will be repaid weekly, the|amount expended. The work underthe> scheme must be. other, than thatprovided for on this year's Estimates,or work which.1has been merely left ofithe Estimates in anticipation of an un-emplyoment: subsidy. The local' bodyis to provide, all materials, all super-vision, transport, and cartage.

In some of the larger centres worksof considerable magnitude^ aro underconsideration, and in the country'dis-tricts the local authorities hava pre-pared schedules that should providework .for almost every available man.

The board has had a conferencewithMr. Jull, chairman of the Counties' As-sociation, arid s)tlso with the executiveof the Municipal. Association, with aview to securing the co-operation andassistance of all local bodies where un-employment is acute.

TO ABSORB 2000

MEN ON CITY JOBS

The City Council is putting into ef-fect its scheme \to provide work onvarious city, jobs for upwards of 2000men. . It is anticipated that 1000 menwill be employed.by the end of thisweek, and that thebalance will be plac-ed in the near future. The work isbeing carried out under the No. 5scheme, whereby the UnemploymentBoard pays for the labour and the CityCouncil bears the cost of the materialand the insurance: The-Hospital:Boardhas agreed to: pay the City Council£700 towards the expense! of carryingout the various works.

AN AUCKLAND PROJECT

The Uneniploymeat Board ''has hadunder consideration an application fromthe Auckland City Council for financialassistance for relief of. unemploymentin Auckland City, states the chairmanof the Unemployment Board, the Hon.S. G. Smith. .The money is to be ex-pended on the extension of the Water-front road, the total estimated costbeing £44,763. This is a further sec-tion of the road which is being con-structed along the whole, of the -seafrontage on the city side of Auckland,and it will provide work for 100 menfor six months.

The ;board decided to subsidise wagesup to a certain sum, provided theworkers are engaged in relay* of twoweeks, as far as practicable, and theyare to be engaged through labourbureaux.. In this way the work will\»espread over'a larger number of men.'

LATE SPORTINGTROTS ON SATURDAY

YVELLINGTON CLUB'S MEETING

The appearance in this, issue of thehandicaps, for the Wellington TrottingGlut's February Meeting serves to 're-mind enthusiasts : that there will belight-harness racing/ at Hutt Park onSaturday. " The week-end- racing at Ad-dington has added to the form alreadydisclosed by many of the competitors,and there is bound to; be a wide rangeof choice in every event.

The track at Addington must havebeen faster than ever before, judgingby the times recdrded in most of theraces on Saturday. In assessing thevalue of these time performances forfuture events, therefore, due allowanceshould be made for the phenomenaltrack conditions ruling. Colonial Boy,for instance, won from a 4.39 mark in4min 27 l-ssec, <but when we find twosuch moderate performers as Kelp andKreisler finishing within a couple oflengths or so, it immediately discountsthe performance., The track at Hutt Park is in gplen-did order, and it will take a lot of rainto cause appreciable harm- to it beforethe meeting, j .

THREE LIVES LOSTFISHING TRAGEDY

CAPSIZE OFF TERAWHITI

SURVIVOR'S STORY

The fishing launch Islander capsizedin the Terawhiti Eip' early' yesterdaymorning, and two men were washedoverboard and drowned and two otherswere trapped below. Three hourslater the upturned boat was sightedby another Island Bay party andtowed into smoother water, where sherighted herself. Ono of the menimmediately jumped into the water andwas drowned. The other was saved.

The victims of the tragedy were:—A. M. STUART, retired captain,. 50

years, 98,Tiber street^ Island Bay.HARRY STUART, 21 years^ 98, Tiber

street, Island Bay. ■',REGINALD R. COPPOCK, 96a, Tiber

street, Island Bay. ' :The fourth' member of tHe party was

Alec Stuart, 18 years, p£ '98, Tiberstreet... ■/ . ■:'■'■'■

The launch left Island Bay at about1 a.m. yesterday to 'fish off ManaIsland. On board were Captain Stuart,the owner, his two sons, Harry andAlec, and Mr. R. R. Coppock, managingdirector 'of R. R, Coppock and Com-pany, Ltd., Wellington.

Alee Stuart told a ''Post" reporteryesterday afternoon that he' under-stood, the.launch was likely to:keepfairly close inshore on account of thetide. It was, he believed, between 2and .3 o'clock when the- boat capsized,from what he ascertained afterwards,she was then onthe Island Bay side ofCapo Terawhiti. "I was asleep.in theforecastle at the time," he continued,"and I was awakened by the launchturning over. There was.no chance ofgetting out, but11 managed to" keepfairly; free of water on the upturnedbunk, although ' some' water wasdripping in. I could hear my^ brotherHarryi who was in the ; engine-room.He, too, was trapped, and wasprobably,far more uncomfortable, than I was,particularly on account of the fumes inthe engine-room. We spoke to eachother through the ; partition, but heknew nothing of th© otherß> who wereprobably washed overboard when' the'boat turned over.- I could riot heareverything my brother said " owing tothe noise of the sea washing'over thevessel. However, I was able to tellhim the time, as I had a watch withme. I knew by this < that we weretrapped for some hours."

LAUNCH RIGHTS ITSELF.When the other launch, the; Norna,

arrived jthose on board knew that theStuarts were alive by their tapping onthe upturned hull.' ''It"was some timeafterwards that.the Islander . righteditself," Alec Stuart went.on." "Weboth managed to scramble out, althoughthe boat was waterlogged. Hairy ap-parently was out first, and he must,have jumpedoverboard when the Nornareturned. She had hurried back toIsland Bay to get assistance, and hadleft a dinghy with two men by us.An effort was made by the Norna'smen to-save Harry, but it just failed.He disappeared as a grappling iron wasthrown to him. The fumes from theengine-room had no doubt affectedhim. I was 'rescued as soon as Iscrambled out of the forecastle. Thatwas about 7 a.m."- HIS FIRST TRIP.

It was stated that Mr. Coppoek hadbeen wantingto go on the launch forsome time, and the trip was his first.He was a good swimmer., When theNorna, arrived the first time it wasconsidered 'too risky to; attempt therescue of the two men in the Islander,and she made all speed back to IslandBay for assistance;after towing theupturned boat *to , smoother .water.The launches Prince and Ika left IslandBay with all available, fishermen at7 a.m., and shortly after they reachedthe Karori stream the Islander righteditself, throwing the two entrappedmen into the choppy sea. The youngerbrother was caught with a boathook,bilt Harry Stuart was swept- {out ofreach by a heavy seaand disappeared.

NECESSITY FOR LIFEBOAT.Mr Andrew Tait, owner of the

Norna,' considered that the fatalitywas probably dueto the launch broach-ing to with the wind and sea on herquarter, with an easterly tide running.The tragedy, confirmed the urgentnecessity for a properly-equipped life-boat. Had such a boat been availableHarry Stuart's life would .undoubtedlyhave" been saved. v .

The late Captain Stuart was wpU

kndwn as a coastal skipper, his last

WOOL PACKSA NEW INVENTION

POSITION OF MARKET

United Press Association—By Electric T«l«----eraph—Cupyrit'lit.

(Received OthFebruary, 10 a.m.)LONDON,Bth February.

Sir Frederick Aykroyd's long laboursto find a wool pack to replace the unsatis-factory jute pack seem—at last to berewarded with success. He informs the""Yorkshire Observer" that he has in-vented a pack which in his opinion meetsevery requirement for covering wool topsand yarns. It is a woven fabric,, the yarnmaterials from which it is manufacturedbeing paper with a core of Chinesegrasscalled ramie. When recently tested at aBradford conditioning house,it was foundto bo considerably stronger than jute.Indeed, it would have broken the testingmachines if it had not been taken,oft.According to Sir Frederick it only re-mains to be seen whether it can be pro-

duced at the right price. .Accountantsare working out the costs. ■

The wool pack committee of the .Brad-ford Chamberof Commerceexpressed theopinion that this pack will probably pro-vide the solution of a long-standing prob-lem. The committee is endeavouring toget it put on the local market, and makefurther tests in the Dominions. ,

Discussing the wool position, the firmoF H. Dawson and Sons writes: "It isnot humanlypossible to explain what hasoccurred to change the whole atmosphere,although the advance itself is justified.Jlerino. wool, the most popular, most ser-viceable textile raw material in the world,lias been too cheap. Moreover, it holdsa stronger position statistically than hasbeen generally accepted by the trade.Meanwhile, pegging up Australian ex-change rates has put an immediate1 hugebuying power into the primary markets.From- totally unexpected .sources largesums of money lying in Australia arebeing poured into the wool-buying cen-tres by strong firms, who previously wereprepared to leave their money lying inAustralia. This stream will continue forseveral months owing to many import-ant houses having arranged time de-posits. Thus the underlying strengthwill be provided for the remainder of theseason, and topmakers and spinners canhardly expect to pick Up wool in Aus-tralia on the recent seasonable level. Itit obvious these wools will have to be re-sold in future," but meanwhile a largeweight will not be available for trade formany months. We have seen the end offorced selling from producing countries,and for this reason at any rate the lowestpoint appears to have been passed."i

TRADE CONDITIONSBRITISH SUMMARY

AUSTRALIAN STOCKS

(Received Oth February, S a.m.)

' LONDON,Bth February.:■ The' Stock.Exchange.has again relapsedto .dullness)' partly, owing to the :tem-porary stringency of the money market,and also the forced selling to meet in-come .lax demands and the,-rumour thatthe Governmentcontemplated a big re-construction loan. This rumour causeda considerable,weakness in gilt-edgeds,but following Mr. Philip Snowden'sdenialthey recovered. Australian stocks haveheld their own veil, the December tradereturns and the result oE the Parkes elec-tion creating a good impression. Thenews o£ii possible breakdown of the Pre-mier's Conferencehas so far not;affectedstocks,us it was only published just asthe StockExchange was .closing. Althoughbutter 'prices do not show; any great im-provement, the tone of the market issound,and a good volume of business ispassing. It is estimated that the con-sumption of butter in Great,Britain forsome time past has been about seventhousand tons a week. In addition, therehave been considerable sales of colonialto the Continent, where supplies are be-ginning to get short. Small quantitieshave also been sold to Canada,while aconsiderable amount has been taken bythe Irish Free State. Following the re-duction of duty, it is believed that theFree State will import a thousand tonsof Australian and New Zealand butterin the next two months. There is talkof a possible further reduction in duty,with preference for the Empire. A some-what surprising effect of the hard timesand the consequent need for economy isthe good demand for Empire wines. Ac-cording to a circular of one of the lead-ing London wine firms, the public is per-force turning more and more from dearspirits to cheaper sweet wines that pos-sess high alcoholic strength and providethe required stimulant. The circular con-tinues: "The standard and quality havenot been consistent,but that is not sur-prising when it is considered how rapidlythe demand increased."' ■

EASTERN HEADGEAR

FAMILYINSIGNIA'

The majority of Euglish peoplo hadnever seeu turbans of such variety andmagnificence as those worn by the dele-gates to the Bound Tabla Conferencestaying in London recently,saysawriterin the "Daily Mail." Indigo, daffodilyellow, deep crimson, shell pink, skyblue, and white headdresses of richsilk', sometimes elaborately embroideredan,dfrequently held by priceless, flash-ing jewels, have brightened pur streets.Bach turban is a miracle of construc-tion, for. in some cases 50 yards of silk,six to eight inches wide, arc coiledround the head. The pagri, whichAnglo-Indians have anglicised as"puggaree," can be.of any length from10 to/ 50 yards, and is bound in in-numerable ways.

A different type of turban is madefrom a piece of cloth less than nineyards long, but as wide as 30 inches.This is bound round the head 'to forma narrow angle over the forehead, andis generally white, but neverof a vividhue as the pagri. The Pathans andsome of the Punjabi Moslems bind thecloth round a tall conical cap, allow-ing the ends to hang down over theshoulder. There arc hundreds of varia-tions of these two methods of bindingthe turban, and each has its own signifi-cance.. Indies; aristocratic familieshave evolved their own styles and keptto them so rigidly that the visitor whohas a knowledge of turban customs canrecognise tiny man as being a. memberof a certain family. Rank, sect, pro-fession, or even the pilgrimages whicha .man has taken are denoted by thestylo of turban ho wears., PICTURESQUECUSTOMS.■

The cost of the turban varies accord-ing to the length and richness ofmaterial. Some, made from liiinn orquite coarse cotton, cost as little asthe equivalent of 10s, while severalpounds are paid for those of embroider-ed silk. If the style is a peaked one,stiff silk or cotton is used. Some tur-bans are too elaborate to be bound,each day on the head, and so arebought "ready made." Such are thoseworn by the Parsce. They aro boundround a stiff foundation, rising to apeak, and are made in heavy blackcolth with coloured spots. The Khojasof Bombay wear a headdress of narrowgold ribbon coiled round a foundation.A skull cap is frequently worn underthe turban if the style of binding Ex-poses tho crown of the head. Whenthe turban is heavy a cap is worn inthe house, and then tucked into thefolds bf the headdress when this isdonned. The poorer classes frequentlyuse their turbans as pockets.

Indians reverse the European customof removing the headdress as a mark ofrespect. When meeting a lady, an offi-cer of higher rank, or going into ahouse they keep on their turbans. Tobe asked to remove it is consideredan insult. Many picturesque customsare connected with tho turban. TheIndian wife, receiving her husbandhome in tho evening, places his turbanin a i>laco of honour, wUilc the- ex-change of turbans is a sign of fraternalaffection. In Afghanistan the van-quished tribo cast their turbans at thefeet of the conqueror, wliilo a chief,appearing before an official of higherrank, will lower tho height of histurban.

Tho New Year present given by amaster to his servant is most frequently

;i turban. Perhaps he will give also apair of shoes, or money sufficient tobuy :i pair, but' tho master himselfchooses the headdress. Just as we weara buttonhole of flowers on our coatsthe Indian wears his in his turban. Onfestive occasions, when flowers aregiven away to guests, every head carriesits floral bouquet.

■ That three boys and three girls fromthe Napier .Technical College should betaken in for-one year as of■ thoChristehurch Technical College, andthat they should be provided with freeboard in the collego hostels and withfreo books and stationery, was decidedat a "meeting of tho Technical Boardof Governors (states tho Ohristc'lureh'"Times"). It was further decidedthat preference would be given to thosemost in need, and more particularly tothoso who nmy have lost their parents.Oroy Hairs? . V

Young women to-day arc acquiringgrey hair five years earlier than theirmothers did, and ten years.earlier thantheir grandmothers. This statementwas made by Otto do Douato, of St.Louis, descendant of eleven genera-tions of coiffeurs (states an exchange).Tho coiffeur, asked at a meeting ofbeauty specialists for his reasons fortho sensational assertion, said: "No,not cocktails; not lato hours; not thestrain of modern living; but tho lackof application of tho hair-brush. Fail-ure to brush the hair daily and give itproper treatment is responsible. Howmany young, wo,men brush their liairto day as it was brushed by theirmothers when they were children?"Tho idea that finger-waved and water-waved hair cannot be brushed was em-phatically denied by de Donate"Leave it alone for the first twonty-four hours, but after . that brush it.The wave may come out the first time.But what can you expect of hair thatprobably has not been brushed correct-ly for eight or twelvo years? It maycome out for four 'or five times, butafter that—oh, the improvement!"-Easy Decorations.

Capo gooseberries, ur "Jack o' Lan-terns," as they are charmingly called,will swing their gay little lamps indark corners and brighten the gloom-iest rooms in the coming winter days(writes a correspondent). To .dry forwinter decoration, they should be hungupside 'down for two or' thjeo weeks,after which the withered leaves can bestripped off. Decorativo though theyare, Cape gooseberries are by no meansuncommon, and it is in their arrange-ment that one must look for originality.With a little ingenuity unusual schemescan bo devised that strike a refreshingnote in a flowerless room. Their deli-cate lantern shape suggests a Chinesebowl as' an appropriate setting, and acharming decorative group can be form-ed by accompanying this with Chinesefigures, a carved dragon or a jade god,or by flankingthe bowl.with those new,!candles that simulate carved ivory,and which, incidentally, are/far toolovely to burn. Again, they are happyif allowed to spray their vivid orangeagainst a colourful background, and a"wall panel of Chinese blue or greenembroidery fulfils this purpose admir-ably. If schemes are out of characterwith your room, you can arrange the"Jack o'.Lanterns" in simple peasant'pottery, patterned, say, in peaeoekgreen and blue on a cream ground, orin a copper bowl ;or ordinary pewter"niig. ■ " ";Women-Citizens' Committee.

The Citizens' Committee of Women;report that therevhas "been a magni-ficentresponse to the appeals for cloth-ing for refugees from the earthquakearea. Indeed, the generosity of the'public in this respect has been so greatand widespread that it is found impos-sible" to make individual acknowledg-ment of gifts received, and it is hopedthat a general recognition of kindthoughtfulnessand effort will in the cir-cumstances prove sufficient. Furthersupplies of new and used articles arestill required, and it is particularlyimportant to state that the demand formen's clothing of all descriptions, forboots—especially strong working bootsfor men, and footwear for girls andboys—and also for women's under-clothing, is greater than can at presentbe adequately mot.

Vogue for "Spanish."The progress which the Prince of

Wales has made in Spanish has pro-vided an example which many societypeople arc following with enthusiasm,writes a Londoner. Spanish is themost fashionable language of themoment. The director of a school oflanguages stated that there was agreater demand for lessons in Spanishthan in any other tongue. Somesocietymothers sire even making efforts to getSpanish nursery governessesfor theirchildren, and the Spanish restaurantwhich King Alfonso always visits whenin London is crowded with men amiwomen eager to try their Spanish onthe waiters. In schools where tin;curriculum allows for tho teaching ofonly one modern language, pupils arenow asking for Spanish, instead of r'or'French or German, so long the onlylanguages taught in addition to theclassics.A Correspondent Replies.

Mrs. Martha Ann Humphries died afew days ago at her home at LowerHutt, aged 90 years. Very manyfriends in different parts of theDominion will hear of her death'-withregret. Mrs. Humphries was the oldestdaughter of the late Rev. Robert Ward,one of tho. early missionaries, wholanded at New Plymouth in the year1844. There were others at work inthat field, so' the Rev. Mr. "Ward de-voted his talents and energies to theestablishment of tho Primitive Metho-dist Church in New Zealand. MissMartha Ward was married in 18G4toMr. Thomas Humphries, son of Dr. 15.L. Humphries, of New Plymouth. Theylived there for about 24 years, thenremoved to Auckland, later living fora time at Napier, Nelson, Christehurch,and Wellington. After Mr. Humphriesretired from the position of Surveyor-General in 1909, he settled at LowerHutt with Mrs. and Miss Humphries.Mr. Humphries died between two andthree years ago. Although"in her nine-tieth year, Mrs. Humphries was re-markably active, and took much in-terest in tho world around her. She issurvived by a daughter, Miss Humph-ries, and a son, Mr. Frederick Humph-ries, of Oainaru. A service was held atKarori crematorium lit which manyold friends, representatives of oldfamilies, wore present. "Ceasing Publication.

With the newspaper propped up in front of him,he w*« allowing the morning's news to rob his break-fast of its accustomed interest. He reachedfor the teapot and then looked vaguely round for themilk.

*'Eh? What's that, Betty?" He stopped withthe teapot in mid-air and blinked at her over the rimof his glasses.

**Why aren't you looking at me through yourspecs?" she enquired in that disconcertingly directmanner of children.

Daddy considered. "Because I can see you betterover the top than through them, I s'pose, dear." Hesmiled.

"Then what do you ivcar themfor?" she insisted,her brow wrinkled into a puzzled'frown, her head inher hands, and her elbows—against all orders—planted firmly on the table.

Infour events the.standard was bettered andiv three others equalled. There wereabout fifteen hundred spectators, which'was below the usual attendance for themeeting. The weather was fine, butthere was rather a stiff, cool southerlybreeze,which, while helping competitioniv the short sprint races, was againstthem in other events. , ■ 'The programme was one of the biggest,if nofc the biggest, yet, held,in ail aftcr-lioori by the Wellington..Amateur!

Your doctorwill tell you that normal-lythe juices of the stomach are slightlyacid, but that'an excess of acidity up-sets the whole digestive process, caus-ing such painful symptoms as fermen-tation, heartburn, flatulence, ana in-flammation of the stomach lining.Therefore if you suffer from any ofthese troubles and wish to get real re-lief, you must neutralise the excessacid which is the cause. To do this,doctors usually prescribe "Bisurated"Magnesia, not only because it instantlyneutralises the excess acid and stopsfermentation, but also soothes the in-amed .stomach lining. "Bisurated"Magnesia is sold by all chemists, andif you suffer with any form of diges-tive disorder you will find this remedywill quickly banish ybur trouble.—Advt.

Under ideal conditions, the seventhseries of matches in the Wellington

Cricket Association's senior competitionswas commenced on Saturday afternoon,■when batsman on all grounds'took advan-take of the favourable opportunity andscored freely, more than 300 runs beingregistered in every match, except that be-tween University and Wellington on theNo. 1 Basin Reserve wicket.

On the neighbouring wicket Midlandoccupied the. batting creases all the after-noon in putting on' 309 runs, a centurypartnership by Baker and Morgan for thesecond wicket laying the foundationfor agood score. The Institute attack was notstrong. The biggest score for the PetoneOval fn recent seasons, and one of thebiggest scores in this season's senior clubmatches, was put up by Kilbirnie, whoscored 406 for five wickets against thesuburban team. Hepburn and Monkhousegave the side a great start, and Wardthen carried on in enterprising fashion,the batting towards the close of the daysplay being decidedly vigorous. Duringmost of the time the bowlers had their.work cut out to keep the rate of scoringdown, but late in the afternoon Hopecollected four wickets. On the Hutt

.ground the local team knocked up 238runs, and Old Boys made a spirited reply-by putting on 105 for the loss of onewicket. Among' the leading players whowere not taking part in the matches wereM'Leod (University) and Poley (Insti-tute). R. Whyte, who has been inHawkes Bay much of the seasou, was play-ing with the Wellington team.

HUTT AND OLD BOYS. 'Hutt began well in their match againstOld Boys at the Hutt Recreation Ground,but largely due to the bowling of Dun-can, had their tail routed for very fewruns. Duncan bowled the whole after-noon, sending down 28 overs, and gettingsix wickets for ,77 runs. His last fourwickets were captured'-for 4 runs—a bril-liant effort.

Ross did not last long as opening bats-man, but when M'Girr joined Biggar'runs came rapidly. M'Gii*r made his 89in just under the hour, scoring in verypleasing style all around the wicket. Thepartnership yielded 78 before Biggar wasclean-bowled. M'Girr and Birch did notlast long after this, and Aldersley andPhillips became associated,adding 33 tothe total before the fir^t-namedfell toLambert. Warnes came in and, oncemore,.scoring was rapid, M'Kenzie regis-tering 16- before he stepped out to Dun-can and was stumped by James. WithM'Kenzie gone, wickets fell rapidly, andno one could be found to stay withWarnes. Duncan was boilingtirelessly,and Hutt were all out for 238 at 5o'clock. .

Old-Boys lost no-time .in scoring, the'opening pair playingBeard:and'Judd con-fidently. Moore was caught behind the■wicket, and James joined Ronaldson.James commenced cautiously, but runs.were soon being scored all over the field.'At stumps the pair were still; together,with, one wicket down for 105.

MIDLAND AND INSTITUTE.Midland batted all the afternoonon the

jSTo. 2 wicket at the Basin Reserve on the:first day of a match against . Institute/;Midland haye1 earned the leading positionon the championship ladder by consistent'batting right down the list, and the In-stitute, bowlers never fourid things easy.Standidge early fell a -victim to Hender-son, but Baker and D. Morgan were thenassociated in,a...partnership producing 141runs scored at a good rate despite manybowling changes. The dismissal of Mor-gan, however,was followedonly two balls jlater by that of Baker. Baker's total in-]eluded nine fours and'eleven of Morgan'slhits reached the boundary.^ Another fruit-ful partnership was that of Tindill andHutchings, who rattled on the runs byfree batting, Hutchings being still at thecrease when stumps were drawn. Sevenbowlers were tried, but none presentedserious difficultiesto the batsmen,and thefielding was not brilliant. Details:—

Nel-son, who gave a chance before scoring,and Wilson, nut on 89 runs for the fourthwicket, and ■" useful contributions weremade by Bailey, Greig, and Aim. Thebatting early in the innings was ratherquiet, Blundell and Cousins keeping theruns down,but the later batsmen hit outfreely and scored at a good rate. Blun-dell (23 overs) and Cousins (28 overs),bowled really well, Blundell coming outwith the best figures.

KIKLBIRNIE V. PETONE.The wicket was good and the outfield

fast for the Kilbirnie-Petone match play-ed at Petone on Saturday. Kilbirnie went>n,and byconsistent batting had made 408runs for five wickets when stumps weredrawn. Monkhouse and Hepburn open-ed Kilbirnie's innings to the bowling ofHope and Senior. Both batted brightlyand reached 100 in an hour and a quarter.After 11 more runs had been added,Hep-burn (60) was caught by Senior off Rob-erts. Ward was next, and the batsmencommenced to attack the bowling. A fre-quent change of bowlers did not affectthem, and by 5 p.m. they had carried Kil-bornie's score to 200. Monkhouse reach-ed his century at 5.20 p.m., and was ac-corded a great ovation, Ward, who alsoplayed soundly, reached his 100 a fewminutes later.1 Shortly afterwards, how-ever, he was caught at square leg by Ham-ilton off Hope. His score included thir-teen 4's. Christophersen was next in,and scored 20 before being caught byNicholls. Crook joined Monkhouse,butafter making 1Gwas clean, bowled byHope.

ANOTHER RECORD TO BURTON

With the pick of £he local riders en-gaged in the return interproviucial matchat Auckland,it was left to overseas riders,together with Wellington's second string,to provide the thrills at the KilbirnieStadiumon Saturday night. Burton andSpiuks, two of the best riders that Eng-land and Australia respectively haveproduced, are a big draw on any NewZealand track, and Whittle, Stevens,Per-kins, and Greenwoodare tour more whoare capable of expert and speedy broad-siding.. These six may be said to haveprovided the backbone of the programme,and on the whole, they rode well up totheir reputations. The local men, whenappearing in handicap races with the visi-tors, were liberally treated by the handi-capper, but with Spiuks and Burton, thetwo scratch men,'behindthem, they couldnot afford to loiter.

Burton was again in great form, androde the first race in" 70 4-ssec,1 l-ssecbetter than- his previous-best fort a race,and only i-bsec outside'the record for thetrafck, estaljlislfett sbld by Fruh'k I'earcelast .IJurtpn, in his-ne^fe ride,covered ttie mile in 76 3-ssee,liis laptimes being"18" 3-ssec,IWseo-,19"2i5sec,rl93-ssec.

WILDING SHIELD

THE WELLINGTON TEAM

The Wellington representative teamchosen by the sole selector (Dr. AlanPark) to defendthe Wilding MemorialShield against Canterbury on Friday andSaturday next is announced to-day. Thefollowing players have been chosen: —

N. R. C. Wilson (Thorndon), 1; D. G.France (Brougham Hill), 2; A. L. France(Brougham Hill), 3; A. E. Sandral(Thorn-don), 4.

The .emergencies are K. ML. Ferkins(University) and E. A. Rousuell (Wel-lington).

The Canterbury team, advice of whichhas reached the Wellington Lawn TeunisAssociation,consists of C. Aligns, I. A.Sony, '£. \Y. Patterson, and C. Baruett.

The choice of Wilson as number one isno doubt due to the fact that he hashad much tournament play during thepast monCK and has won thirteen import-ant championships, while D. G. France hascompeted in only two tournaments, neitherholding players of very high class. France,however, is in good trim. Sandral,thoughhe has been showing indifferent form in.singles, probably goes in on his doublesplay, for which he is well known.

John Fitzgerald, a second offender.for drunkenness, was convicted anddischarged at the Mount Cook Police.Court this morning. Mr. W. H, Coy,.T.P... ivas on the. Bench.
