A GOODLY HERITAGE.BY L. G. MOBEBXY.
(Copyright.)
CHAPTER XXIII—(Continued).To the hard-working cockney, brought
up in a sordid street in North London,the Court' might have been apalace straight out of the ArabianNights, so wonderful did it seem to her.She was far from being at her ease in'her unaccustomed surroundings. In fact,if the truth were told, she felt distinctlylike a fish out of water—very much.'bullof water! But she nevertheless enjoyedher visit prodigiously, and it made thecentre of all her conversations for monthsto come. '
Her daintily-appointed beHroom; thequiet, respectful servants; her early morn-ing tea, her carefully prepared bath, eachand all these things impressed themselveslastingly upon her "mind, and she madea pathetic little struggle to introducesome of the refinements of life as livedat Bransway Court into her own home inKentish Town. Perhaps the crown of hersatisfaction as also the crown of her em-barrassment was reached when, two daysafter her arrival, Elizabeth told her visi-tors were coming to lunch, and that oneof the visitors was Mr. Derrick Fane, '
the novelist. ftOccasionally lately** she had typed achapter.or two of the novelist's latest
work, and. the thought that she was ac-tually to sit down at the table with thisgreat and remote personage gave her afeeling of awe as well as of intense de-light. But the awe overpowered the de-light in so far as to silence'her usuallyglib tongue; and her answers to Fane'skindly remarks were chiefly monosyllabic.But in spite of the sense of awe whichkept her curiously silent, her nativeshrewdness did not desert her. ■'*•"
Like a true cockney she had highlydeveloped powers of observation, andthose quick dark eyes of hers missednothing of what lay before them. Indeedshe saw a great deal more than Fane at '! all, intended her to see, or'dreamt "that hewas himself betraying, and he wouldhave experienced a very considerable
"
shock if he could have overheard Rosie'sremarks to Pamela Thompson afterElizabeth's guests had departed.Pamela's gentle manners and sweetlace had appealed to the girl who, withthe exception of Elizabeth, had nevercome m contact with gentle mannered, ■
gentle voiced ladies; and when the mis-tress of the house was busy Rosie likedto steal up to Pamela's sitting room totalk to a sympathetic listener, and totgaze with open-eyed wonder at all thatthe room contained."My gracious, I never thought beforeI came what a jolly good sort Elizabethwas for asking me here," she said, sit-ting down in the window seat and lettingher glance wander over the garden bask-ing m May "There isn't manythat would have asked an old pal likeme to come to a place like this. '-"'•Mostpeople would have been glad enough toforget the old typewriting office and thepals they had there. But Elizabeth's areal lady—that's where it comes in, isn'tit?"
" Yes, that's where 'it comes in,"Pamela smiled. ." Elizabeth is such avery real lady, she couldn't be a snob or .:
forget old friends."" She's a living wonder," Rosie ex-
claimed warmly, " To see a bit of a thinglike her looking after this great house,and managing the estate and all; that, it.fair takes your breath away'. She's gotsome grit and no mistake. But she's' goingto miss you a lot isn't she?"
" I am afraid she will miss me, hotshe wouldn't hear of my puttitig off mymarriage."
"Well it wouldn'o be'.,her if she didlet you do a thing like that. She's all forother people, Elizabeth is, always was—never seemed to worry about getting tit-bits for herself—always thinking of. otherpeople. She's a bit blind where her ownaffairs are concerned." .<
" How do you mean, a bit" blind ?"" Why anybody could see with half m
eye Mr. Fane's pretty far gone about her,sort o' worships the ground she Walks onand all that; and she hasn't cottoned onto it a scrap; I believe, if you ask me,that she's pretty nearly as fond of himas he is of her, only she thinks he doesn't.care for her excepting just as a friend.That's what I believe.
"My dear Rosie "—Pamela gasped a ;little—"surely you are letting your-imagi-nation rnn away with' you?. It did crossmy mind that Mr. Fane—admired andliked Elizabeth very much, that perhapseven——".
" Oh! he's head over ears in love.Vfithher—there's no reason to mince words orwrap 'em up in cotton wool. He's justmad about her, I saw that pretty well atthe ; first go off, and I've always been agood one at seeing through a brick wall;and I wouldn't mind laying you half acrown that Elizabeth's as keen as mustardon him too, but she doesn't wear herheart on her sleeve, no fear. And he'skeeping off the grass he thinksshe's too blooming rich for him to datepop the question. So there you. ire.Thev'll go breaking their hearts for eachother and neither of them daring to say aword. That's what I believe, and I'm nofool either." . „" I think you are very possibly right,
Pamela spoke slowly and thoughtfully, forRosie's real goodness of heart was ap-
- parent through all her slang expressions." But if Mr. Fane) is. too proud to speak,and Elizabeth too proud or too maidenlyto let him'see'the tuth," then "
;#
"Oh, maidenly be blowed!" Rosie in-terrupted. " Whatever do we want talk- •ing like that at this time of day? I am tone to want girls to be over bold butit's silly to be over modest, I wouldn tlike to see Elizabeth miss her chance ofhappiness and spoil two lives just for thesake of being maidenly or whatever youcall it. If Mr. Fane's such a gaby as tobe afraid to speak to well she dbetter speakto him," and Ros.e laughedher big jolly laugh, which, however itnrtght offend sensitive held :something that reflected her big gener-ous nature where nothing petty or mean ;ha
"BP!Se- if I won't tell Elizabeth
what I think,"' she exclaimed,bouncing off the window"She can take it or leave it just as shepleases, but I won't have it on »y con-science that I left a stone unturned in
helping her to get the best she can out (
°
"And if I can do anything to help Iwill," was Pamela's reply. |
"You asked mo whether there was any-one I would especially like to come tomy wedding," Pamela said to Elizabetha "day or two later when they were oncemore alone at the Court, " I wonder ifvou would let me ask Mrs. Fane? Shewas so kind to me when we were neigh-bours in St. John's Wood. ;,
iv " Whv, of course we will ask her,
Elizabeth answered quickly, but Pamelanoticed how the colour ran over her face•' lam so fond of Mrs. Fane. I shouldlike her to come here."
" I suppose." there was a touch of hesi-tation in Pamela's voice "I suppose MrFane wouldn't come with his mother ? It
would be a great honour to have him atmy wedding."
Elizabeth's colour deepened."We will certainlv ask him too, she
said. "He would probably like to bring.<
his mother down. Perhaps they wouldstay here the night before? .It might bdtoo tiring for Mrs. Fane to do it all in

NOTES ON THE RACING.[BY TEUSaEAPH. —OWN CORBESPONEENT. ]
CHBISTCHTJRCH. Monday.Bright sunshine ushered in Derby Day.
then olonds made their appearance withthreats of rain, but only a few dTops felllate in the afternoon.
The racing was again of a high order,there being some exciting finish**. TheDerby was a great race, the' struggle overthe fast two furlongs being the most mem--01 able I can recall."
■The opening event, the Middleton Hur-dler, claimed seven runners, all eligibleunder hack conditions. Sir "ft ai, FrisooMail and Bed Kriss were backed in thatorder, and they duly filled _aU the places,though first and Becond positions wore re-versed. Otauru and Bed Kriss led FriscoMail and Kerry Star till five furlongs fromhome, when Otauru fell. Frisoo Mailheaded Bed Kriss at the last hurdle, andwon easily by alength from Sir Wai, whooutstayed Bed Kriss and gained secondnlac* by a length, with Grim Joke a fairfourth Frisco Mail is a half-brother toBoyal Star and will do still better whenhe gains more confidence as a jumper.
The Criterion Handicap was a fine race.There were 12 runners, Ms'ter Sandstoneiust ousting Tukia from favouritism, withMartian Miss and Bed Wii:k also wellbacked. Peneus was first out, but Mireu-sonta soon ran to the front, leading roundthe turn from Last Crust and Bed Wink,with Tukia and Peneus handy. Half amile from home Mirensonta was followedby Red Wink. These. two were on termswhen well in the straight, with a bunchjust behind them. Bed Wink was incharge at the distance, and be won nicelyby half a length from Last Crust, who beat
Avola by a neck, with Mireusonta anotherneck away, just in front of Wild Hind andTukia, Penous and Martian Miss, who werealmost in a line. Master Sandstone wasthe disappointment of the race, &b he nevergot near the front.
The Irwell Handicap, for two-year-olds,drew a field of 10; Standard and, Pkilan-dera being soratohed. Lady Cavendish waßa strong favourite, with Victory Bond, Ar-Eent and Joyeuse best backed of the others,
ady Cavendish. Arpent and Victory Bondled to the distance, whon Joyeuse alsojoined in. Then Victory Bond retired.Lady Cavendish hung on and won by a neckfrom Joyeuse, who finished well. Arpentwas two lengths away, a head in front ofVictory Bond, who is a non-stayer at pre-sent, though she has groat speed. Thewinner's form this season hn3 been consist-ently good. Joyeuse (by Gay Lad—Nant-ville) is a promising fillv.
The scratching of Dacisling Light left twocolts and five geldings to contest the Derby.Count Cavour was a strong favourite, withInferno easily second choioe. Tanadees andInferno led out of the straight, where In-ferno took charge from Tanadees and CountCavour. At the mile post the colours ofCount Cavour were just showing in frontof Tanadees, the pair being two lengthsbehind Inferno. Five furlongs from homeCount Cavour shot to the front, but Infernoand Tanadeos joined him at the entrance tothe straight. Then ensued a thrilling(struggle, first one and then the other seemedto have an advantage, but Count Cavourstayed best and beat Inferno by half flstride. Tanadees wearied in the liiiu fewstrides, and was about a length away. Pourlengths further back oame Tresham, whobeat Bouex by half a length. Bouex wanunlucky, as he .got a l>ad bump soon sftoithe start,. Agitato was held responsiMe
PI Hi Tld? r'Ji - Beed, was given the bene-'»» of the doubt. With a good run Bouex,<*rould have made matters interesting
Tresham was sold before the race to theWellington owner, Mr. J. A.'Taylor, whoseooloura he carried. The performance ofCount Cavour was a good one, his staminaand gameness enabling hiin to win. He wasgoing best of all at the end. . Infernostayed on surprisingly well, bo did Tana-dees, but both these last-named pair arebetter at a mile. The win was very popu-lar. Mr. J. S. BilrMtt, the owner of CountCavour, haß a wide* circle of friends insporting circles.
The Hagley Handicap drew 16 starters,representing fair haok form. En Route wasfavourite, on the strength of his finishingrun on Saturday, while Kilceit, Jubilantand Footfall were also well baoked. Kilceitwas prominent at first, but soon droppedback. En Route and Viewpoint were infront at the end of a furlong, but five fur-Jongs from home Te Anau "Lad had joinedEn Route in the lead, with Viewpoint, Wtti-sea, Kalakaua and Footfall also handy.En Route was done with at the entranceto the straight, where Footfall and Kalakauadrew away. They had an exciting struggleFootfall winning by half a head. Kilceit
stayed on well to get third, a length away,with. Te Anau Lad and Rich Prize next.The winner's performance makes him lookmore than useful as a welter horse. He iseasily the best of Warstep's progeny todate. . En Route was a disappointment,while Jubilant was never seen.The eight starters for the MetropolitanHandicap provided an interesting race for amile, culminating in an exoiting finish forthe minor places. Enthusiasm and Rua-papa were the pablio fancies, with Limelightand Deuoalioa next in order. Deucalionand Ruapapa led for three turlongs», whenLuoinette and Deuoalion went on frcm Rua-papa, Enthusiasm and Limelight. Therewas no change till they reached the hometurn, where Limelight moved up. Sheshotto the front at the entrance to the straight.and thereafter it waa a procession, as shewon easily. Mantua joined in for a des-perate finish for the plaoes. just Bettingup to beat Ruapapa by half a head, withDeucalion another head away. Enthusiasmfaded out badly. The result showed thatwe did not nee Limelight's true form in theNew Zealand Cup.

RACEHORSE DOPED.
BELLADONNA INJECTED.
Australian and N-Z. Cable Association.(Reed. 5.6 p.m.) SYDNEY. Nov. 10.
A sensation has been caused in racingciroleg owing to the hurdler Parvenu, ownedby Mr. Colin Stephen, chairman of the Aus-tralian Jockey Club, having boen doped toprevent hia winning a raco. Parvenu wonin a hollow fashion in his last start, threeweeks ago. Although Taised in the weights.he was regarded as a certainty for a raceon Saturday, and was heavily backed bythe publio and punters.
The horse failed to get into the running-until the end, and then oniy gained a verybad third place, mainly oying to mistakesat the jumps.
On returning to his s<„l his trainernoticed that the horse was behavingBtrangoly. He had him examined by aveterinary surgeon, who said that the ani-mal had been doped with belladonna, whichwould impair his sight and prevent surejumpiDK
For tin unscrupulous person to' f-lip intothe horse box. insert an hypodermio syringe,and inject the dope, would be but the workof a moment.
THIS GROWING CITY.
AMAZING DEVELOPMENT.
THE SOUTH-EAST AREA.
NEW TRAFFIC ROUTES.
BT PIONKBR.
No. m.The first sale of town lots in Auckland
was held in 1841. If the first land -agentcould see the development that has takenplace along the South line and to the eastof the city, he might well say that noagent, in his wildest flights of fancy,could have predicted the amazing reality.This growing city was handicapped fora long period by the Maori wars, and aslate as 1908, people spoke of Otahuhu asof some 'remote place, far beyond thesuburban district; yet to-day it is one ofthe "close up" areas.
Nowhere has development been greaterthan in the eastern and southern dis-tricts, and from Remuera to St. Heliers,thence south to Otahuhn, and so by therailway to Papakura, 20 miles from thecity, all tile rich country is more or lessclosely settled, while across the Tamaki,Howick in particular, and the PakurangaParish in general, can almost be saidto be suburban. In the old days thesedistricts vjere well farmed. It was anold article of faith that the only goodland around Auckland was in those areas,and old beliefs die hard. A shrewd landagent once remarked, " It is the womenwho select" the sections and nine out often women will take a section that hut.grass on it and neglect a more valuableone that has not."
Whether he was right or wrong, thefact remains that settlement rushed thegrassed lands of Mangere, Papatoetoe,Manurewa, Papakura and Tamaki andprices were paid for sections, whether theland was flat, low-lying and wet, or ona hill slope. In all these suburbs landprices are high j yet, between the city andPapakura are many great openspaces, sufficient to carry quadruplethe population of the existingsuburbs. Proximity to a railwaystation has been the guiding factor, ofcourse, but with concrete roads andspeedy motor transport either to the rail-way or to the city direct, many newareas will be brought in.
What Good Roads Mean.Now the advent of good roads Is more
than likely to lead to a curious paradox.In the south, settlement will spread nearerthe > city, and in the west, further away.It is not hard to see why this will be so,for in the south and east are many greatgaps to fill, and in the west good roadswill open the way to the rich lands of theranges.
The railway deviation round by Pan-mure will open new suburbs in that direc-tion. That is almost too obvious to men-tion. The new line must automaticallymake available a big slice of PakurangaParish and convert the old-time villageof Panmure into an important road andrail centre. Consequently all the areafrom St. Heliers to Otahuhu will be al-most one continuous suburb. Possiblythose suburbs beyond are going to ex-perience a waiting period. The tide ofsettlement that otherwise would be theirswill be finding new outlets for the timebeing and many grass paddocks down theline must remain grass paddocks for a fewyears yet.
All these suburban districts nowclosely settled, and those about to besettled, are under the control of a multi-plicity of local bodies, each with its ownadministrative costs, its own little plantand its own ways of tinkering at littleworks that ought to be part of a greatgeneral administrative plan. With all thevast field for suburban developmentaround Auckland, we still have the dullflat monotony of rows upon rows ofhouses, each with its own narrow littlesection, with little or no room for trees,and the suburban home with shadyavenues and park-like grounds is the ex-ception rather than the rule. Each houseor "bungalow" looks intd 1 its neighbour'sbackyard and the front view is a simi-lar "bungalow" across the way.
Feeder Boad Systems.The motor age brings wonderful new
possibilities. Smooth bitnminised feederroads must radiate from all the southerntownships that will be connected with themain road in concrete. Development musttake place in Tamaki and'Mangere areasand probably the Tamaki will have to Lebridged at many points not thought ofjnst now, so that feeder road systemswill supply the rallwav at Otahuhu,Papatoetoe, Manurewa, Takanini andPapakura. The actual development islikely to be slower than residents of thevedistricts care to admit, for the simplereason that I_, 14 or 20 miles by rail,followed by two or three miles by motorbus, is going to take too long for thesuburban dweller, at any rate while hecan find good land nearer the city. Mod-ern motor transport systems make lightof four or five miles, but the railway theyrun to must not be more than 10 milesfrom the city in the present stage of thecity's growth.
It is an everlasting pity that suburbssuch as Papatoetoe have been laid out inthe haphazard manner necessitated bysubdivisions on the 60ft. frontage system.The result is miles of uninterestingstreets, scarcely a tree to break the mono-tony, no delightful views, no native foli-age, nothing but houses. The holding oftwo, three or four acres for one home siteis comparatively rare in these districts.It is a pity it is so, for with all thevast areas available, the land prices shouldhave been snch that an acre or two acreswould have oost no more than a quarter-acre does now. In the years to comethe holdings of an acre or two, the resi-dence entwined in our beautiful nativebnsh and commanding widespread views,will be the prize lots of our suburbanareas.
It is a question of transport, of course.In past years transport has been soutterly inadequate that many parts fairlywell served have acquired a fictitiousvaluo and that value must fall as im-proved transport enables suburban settle-ment to
_
reach newer fields in healthiersurroundings and avoid the overcrowdedareas.
Auckland has grown and te growingat a rate that reaves al] other Dominioncentres far behind. The amazing energyof the whole country that contributes tothe city's trade is certain indication ofeven more rn-nid growth in th e future.Possibly Auckland and its rincr of outersuburbs may tallv half a million headsbefore many of the primary school chil-dren of to-day have reached the univer-sity. Then certainly the people will real-ise the mistakes that are being made forwant of general town-planning, for lackof imagination in neglecting the oppor-tunities of the great unsettled areas, andtho abscne© of united action in demandingradial systems of suburban railways. Notramway system could over cope with thetraffic of this city and all its outer sub-urbs, but electric railways running outto all points of the compass could havedone so.

LONELY LITTLE ISLAND.
FAMILY'S LONG OOCUPANCY.
RENEWAL OF LEASE.
The Government of New Zealand hasnnder consideration the question of re-newing the lease of Palmerston Island tothe Marsters. family. In this connectionan interesting report has beea receivedfrom the Resident Commissioner. xThe most interesting of New Zealand'sscattered dependencies in the Pacific isPalmerston Island, an atoll with a landarea of one square mile, lying to thenorth-west of Rarotonga, some 273 milesdistant. The reef carries a number ofsmall islets, which are in the occupationof the descendants of the late William !Marsters, who settled there in 1862. Hehad a numerous family, and the popula- ]tion, recording to the report now to ihand, is about 100. The lagoon, whichis about eight miles in diameter, does not jcarry pearlshell at present, but the matter jof introducing spawn from other islandsis nnder consideration by the Government. ;
The island has an interesting history. It!was discovered by Captain Cook in 1774, Ion his second voyage, although it is saidby some authorities to be the San Pablo"of Magellan, the first island discoveredin the South Seas. On Captain Cook'sthird and last voyage the great navigatorlanded there to get fodder for his perish-ing cattle. Later on the mutineers of theBounty touched at the island, but did notcare to make it their home after their'pleasant experiences at Tahiti.
William Marsters, the elder, went toPalmerston in 1862, and managed theisland for one Brander, who, however,did not return, and Marsters stayed on,although without title. In 1892 he wasgranted a lease for 21 years. He died in1899. By deed dated October 18, 1913,madebetween the King and Joel Marsters,a renewal of the lease was granted to thelatter in trust for all the issue of William |Marsters, the elder, for ten years fromJanuary 1, 1913. A renewal of the leasefor a further period of ten years has now Ibeen arranged. .
The Resident Commissioner reports that Iwith one exception he found all the people jon Palmerston Island healthy and strong,showing no signs, so far as a layman was Iable to judge, of degeneracy. All the in-habitants speak English. The output ofcopra last year was 60 tons, comparedwith 50 tons in the previous year.
COMMERCIAL.FARMERS' CO-OPERATIVE.
CHRISTCHURCH COMPANY.
CALLING-UP OF CAPITAL.
[BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.]CHRISTCHURCH. Monday.
The directors of the New Zealand Farmers'.Co-operative Association have issued thefollowing circular to shareholdem: —
"There is at the present timu a sum of£422,583, representing uncalled capital, on140,861 ordinary shares at £3 each, thenominal value of each being £5. Represen-tation has persistently been made by numer-ous shareholders to your directors during thepast two years to call up a portion of this
I capital as a practical means of assisting yourassociation to get back to a profit-earningbasis as early as possible. The benefits thatwould be derived from such action havealways been appreciated by your directors,but the course suggested was deemed in-
I expedient owing to the stressful times andthe great disadvantage at which a numberof farmer shareholders were placed. Owingto the liberal assistance received from allsources, including our depositors andbankers, the association has been able torender splendid service to our many clients,and this has obviated the necessity of call-ing up share capital during a period whichwas most inconvenient and inopportune. Thelast balance-sheet indicates the turn in thetide of the affairs of the association, andas the farmers' seasonal prospects are most
' favourable, together with the fact that theI polioy of leaning heavily upon our bankersj is undesirable owing to the present adverse
exchange conditions and consequent lockingup of so much capital in London, yourdirectors have decided to make calls total-
I ling £1 per share on uncalled ordinaryI share oapital. The calls will extend over.aI period or one year, and will be payable in"I quarterly amounts of not more than 6s. Tomeet the convenience of a large number of
small shareholders, an arrangement can beentered into to receive the proposed calls inone sum, interest being payable at 4i percent, per annum, upon calls paid in ad-vance. It is considered that under the pres-ent favourable conditions, no undue hard-ship will ensue, and that shareholders, tosave unnecessary labour and expense, willwillingly oomply and pay their calls 'punctu-ally. It is essential to all concerned thatyour association should be placed upon aprofit-earning basis as expeditiously as pos-sible, and the decision of the directors .tocall up portion of the uncalled capital will,together with the present reorganisationthat is going on, assist very considerbaly to-ward this much-desired object."

IN PRISON FOR LIFE.
A CULTURED MURDERER.
The unique experience of being con-ducted by a murderer over a large Ameri-can prison befel Mr. Mainland Foster, ofGisborne, during a recent visit to Cali-fornia. "On a visit to the San Quentinprison," said Mr. Foster, "I was met by
: a polished and cultured young man andi conducted over the finger-print depart-I ment, in which there are hundreds of[ volumes of records of criminals' finger-] prints, from the greatest to the smallest.; Every phase of this branch of prison workj was explained to me by this young man,
I after visiting the other portion of the■ prison, and, as I was leaving, the youngI man explained that he was a murdereri who was sentenced to death but was re-j prieved and sentenced to life imprison-I ment. He said he/ would never get outsidei the prison walls, and would rather havedied."
JETTISONED MILK BILL.
ANGER IN WELLINGTON.
In the course of a strong indictmentagainst the members of Parliament re-sponsible for the jettisoning of the Wel-lington City Milk Bill, the chairman of the
| City Council's Milk Committee stated that. the Milk Committee was jawaiting the' passage of the bill before arranging with! the dairy farmers for the price of spring| and summer milk for tho city, for, hadI the bill been passed, a prico fixationJ board would have been appointed to fixi the price for each season.I As matters were, it was stated, tho: old process of negotiating with thei milk suppliers would have to bo, resumed, unless soma alternative mediumcould be mutually agreed upon. Onesuch medium was tried two yearsago, when the matter of price-fixingwas left to a single arbiter. The publicthen found that it had to pay more thanever for its milk. Certain provisions intho bill were the considered opinion of anindependent board of inquiry into thewhole question of the milk supply of Wel-lington, its treatment, and distribution,and no littlo feeling has been arousedlocally by the manner in which Parlia-ment treated a measure that was framedin the interests of 100,000 people.

BRITISH TRADE REVIEW.ADVANCE m STERLING.
INFLUENCE OF ELECTIONS.
BUTTER MARKET STILL EASY.
A. and N;Z. LONDON, Nov. 9.There has been a small boom on the
Stock Exchange since the announcementof the election results, and Thursday's set-tlement was reported to be the largestthis year. Mo«t sections showed greatactivity, industrial stocks being particu-larly in demand. The settlement broughtsome profit-taking which caused a slightreaction.
Prices of gilt-edged securities eased alittle on money becoming tight, and caus-ing some fears (possibly premature) of anadvance in the bank rate. Another causeof this movement of gilt-edged securitieswas the possibility of a trade revival,which is likely to draw money from invest-ment stocks, and also the imminence ofseveral new issues.
The outstanding feature of the past fort-night has been the wonderful advance inthe rate of exchange for the £ sterlingon New York. This is contrary to theusual experience at this period of the year,when seasonal demands generally have theeffect of depressing the value of the £.
The upward movement, which commencedwith Mr. Stanley Baldwin's victory at thepolls, received fresh impetus from Mr.Calvin Coolidge's sweeping victory in theUnited States. The rate continued to ad-vance until to-day it reached 4 dollars 59cents.
Weakness of French Franc.The French franc, on the other hand,
shows much weakness owing to the Gov-ernment's financial position, which com-pels it to borrow on onerous terms to bal-ance the Budget.
A feature of the base metal markets hasbeen the steady advance in lead, of whichsupplies here are verv small. One causeis the heavy demand from Germany,whose production last year was only35,000 tons, compared with 188,000 in1913. Germany is likely to require largequantities of pig lead in the near future.
The downward movement in butter,which commenced a fortnight ago, con-tinues. From now onward prices areexpected to decline. The movement, how-ever, is likely to be gradual, as, thoughfuture supplies are large no great quanti-ties will arrive before the end of Novem-ber. Buyers are fully aware of the sta-tistical position, and therefore are only fill-ing immediate requirements.
The advent of the first parcel of "Kan-garoo Brand" has been well boomed bythe High Commissioner, and much inter-est was evinced in it. Importers think thenew brand may have the effect of bring-ing the best Australian a shilling or twonearer the New Zealand price, but butterunder 92 points is likely to suffer.
Colonial Wine and Barley.Australian wines continue to receive
much attention from trade papers. Awriter in the Wine Trade Review says herecently tested an extensive range of Em-pire red and white wines. As a result hehad to revise the whole of his precon-ceived ideas not only on the score of im-proved general standard, but with regardto certain red and white wines whichspecially appealed to him as worthy to putbefore most men without fear or favour.The writer advocates pushing Empirewines by getting every wine merchant andoff-licence holder to stock some of thesegood wines. It is still more importantns. says to get them Into every list, bothwholesale and retail, for presently manywine-lists circulated in the trade will notmention them unless attention is called tothe omission.
Samples of Yorke Peninsula barley haveattracted much attention and favour-able comment. One judge said he hadnot seen a better barley during hiß experi-ence of 40 years. Mr. C. McGlew, therepresentative of Yorke Peninsula farmers,is sending samples to all the leading brew-ers. Several have promised to try themin a brewing. He is hopeful that goodbusiness will result. Mr. McGlew is alsomeeting a number of brewers in confer-ence, when he will explain the possibilitiesof Australian supplies and stress the desir-ability of the brewers taking Australianbarley in preference to Caliiornian andContinental, which is chiefly in use atpresent. Australian Chevalier barley isquoted at '55s c.i.f., and Cape malting at555.

RADIO TOPICS.BZ THERMION.
NOVEL BROADCASTING.A unique experience was" recently
offered to Americans who, seated com-fortably in their homes, were able tohear for the first time a message broad-cast by radio from the ocean depthswhen a diver, lowered from a boat offAtlantic City, disclosed some of thesecrets of the deep to a vast radio audi-ence.
In the performance of this remarkablefeat, which has numerous practicalaspects, a close-contact electric micro-phone was embedded in a rubber spongeand the sponge fastened inside thediver's helmet. The microphone wasconnected by special waterproof wirewith an amplifier located on what isknown as the "Steel Pier" at AtlanticCity. The message was carried thenceby wire to Philadelphia to be broad-casted. "The next item on the pro-gramme," said the announcer, "will beexploring the depths of the Atlantic."Listeners-in heard first a swirling andswishing noise made by the air currentsin the diver's helmet and then the voiceof the diver describing what he saw.Communication between divers underwater and operators of the air apparatuson the water is usually accomplished bymeans of rope signals. Perfection oftelephonic communication enables thediver to give a more accurate graphicdescription of the lay-out on the oceanfloor, and in special cases his descriptionmay be broadcast direct to shore stations,where drawings of the positions ofwrecks may be made.
LONG-DISTANCE TELEPHONY.In the course of a recent paper on
modern methods in the transmission ofspeech, Mr. E. H. Mclnnes, of the Aus-tralasian branch of the Western ElectricCompany, referred to the use of the three-electrode valve as a repeater in long dis-tance telephony. An illustration wasgiven by the famous demonstration ofspeech between Havana (Cuba) and SantaCatalina Island, off the Californian coast,a distance of about 5500 miles, involv-ing a cable section, a vast overland line,and finally a radiophone section. . Thepower input at Havana was 1000 micro-watts, or one thousandth of a watt; andthe output was one-fortieth as much, or 25microwatts. There were 25 repeaterstations. The lecturer said that to de-liver 25 (microwatts without repeatersover long distances required &n enormousinput of power. For instance., it wouldhave taken 5 kilowatts to send the speechto Philadelphia. If the delivery was toDenver, Colorado, it would require all theelectrical power in the world. For trans-mission 2500 miles out of the 5500 miles,the input, to deliver audible speech,would nave had to be 200,000 times thetotal electrical energy now generated onthe earth. These large figures are due, ofcourse, to the losses on the lines, and areeloquent of the superiority of radio forlong distance telephonic communicationwhen other conditions' make it possible.It is quite easy, for instance, to obtainaudible speech from California to NewZealand, 6000 miles or so, with a poweroutput at the sending side of 1000 wa'tts.
THE HEAD 'PHONE.It is probable that many a radio receiv-
ing set is unjustly blamed for what reallyare the' shortcomings of the telephonesonly. Even with an efficient receiver,good reception cannot be obtained unlessgood telephones are used. The action ofthe telephones may be described brieflyas follows:—
The telephone earpiece contains a per-manent magnet, upon the pole pieces ofwhich are mounted bobbins wound withfine wire. Immediately above, but nottouching the pole pieces, is a thin circu-lar iron plate whose outer edge is firmlyclamped Dy the earcap. Normally, thepermanent magnet exerts a steady pullon the iron diaphragm, but this pullfluctuates when electric currents, due tothe incoming signals, flow through thebobbins. The pull varies in such a wayas to automatically reproduce the soundsspoken into the microphone at thebroadcasting station.
The telephones used for radio workdiffer from the ordinary commercial typein that the diaphragms are lighter andthat they usually havo a much nigher re-sistance. For radio reception, low re-sistance 'phones should be used only inconjunction with a transformer. Thehigh resistance type generally have a re-sistance from 2000 to 4000 ohms. It maybe pointed out that the sensitivity of thetelephones depends, not on the actual re-sistance, but upon the number of turns ofwire on the bobbins, and with a goodmake of telephone it is safe to assumethat the high resistance is due to theEresence of a large number of turns. To
eep the telephones compact and yet have,many turns it is necessary that they bewound with fine wire, and they should,therefore, not to be overloaded or thewire* may burn out. For this reason,'phones of a higher resistance than 4000ohms, should not be purchased. Fine
I enamelled wire is generally used, and with; this frail insulation the winnings need
i infinite care.The steel from which the permanent
magnet is made should be of specialquality so that it will indefinitely retainits magnetism. This is essential, other-wise the sensitivity would decrease. Inthe best quality telephones the pole piecesare laminated, and this increases thesensitivity by reducing certain losses.
NOTES AND HINTS.In connection with the recent Catholic
bazaar at Taihape, Mr. Morton Coutts,of 2AQ, broadcasted the concert items.He has since received from Mr. W.Bogan, of West Maitland, New SouthWales, a report to the effect that he heardMr. Joseph Wham singing "Kilarney,"and the volume was so good that hotould hear the item 10 yarrL away fromth-i loud speaker.
Mr. Gilbert Kenak, of Hamilton, East,writes that he received KGO on his three-coil single valve set with excellent
I volume and states that he has heard thesame station clearly on a 60ft. aerial Bft.high, this aerial not being insulated. Theset is home-built the total cost being£5 10s, and it is capable of picking upIYA on a small frame aerial.
The first world's Radio Fair has justheen held in Madison Square Garden,Now York. The interest it created canbe judged from the fact there were ap-proximately 170,000 visitors.
The aerial for a portable set is alwaysa source of trouble. It is a difficultthing to transport, and the wire is aptto kink. A new idea is to procure alarge tape measure, remove it from itscasing, and wind in place of it a long,extremely thin topper ribbon. Attachan insulator to the end of the ribbon,and a similar one to the casing. Thiswill make a most effective portable aerial,which can be carried in the pocket andused almost anywhere.
Up to the end of August, 912,000licenses for radio reception had been is-sued in Great Britain. It was expectedthat the million mark would be reachedin October.
Although the broadcasting station atJohannesburg has been in operation forsome little while, broadcasting began in
earnest in South Africa with the openingof the Gape Town station, WAMG, in
September. The wave-length is 375metres. In South Africa, the-broadcast-ing organisation has been modelled onthat of Britain, and the apparatus andmethods used at 2LO have been copied.The transmitter itself is a 6000-watt Mar-coni installation. Another station whichwill be similarly equipped is to be openedthis month at Durban. Eight p.m. SouthAfrican time is 5.30 a.m. at Auckland.
For summer work a short aerial re-duces atmospherics. The signal may also
be somewhat weaker, but it does not failoff as much as the atmospherics, and Uieresult will be *ore pleasing reception. J
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.THE BEACHES.
Sir,—As the summerholiday seasonapproaches, when oar beaches will be thehappy playground of hundreds of chil-dren, is it too much to ask that thesehealth-giving spaces should be made andkept safe for our little ones? I see thatthe Devonport Borough Council is very,"wisely prohibiting vehicular traffic onCheltenham Beach. Why cannot the <same wise provision apply to our beauti-ful Milford Beach ? Because a few con-tractors have bought sections on thisbeach and are selling the sand from themall the beaches in the vicinity are beingdespoiled. If our borough council ispowerless to stop this destruction surelyit could make the beaches safe by com-pelling the owners of these sections touse their rights-of-way, and not takeidrays and teams of horses on to thebeaches at all. Hoping this protest mayarouse other parents to help in havingthis nuisance abated.
Milford Mother.
"KEEP TO THE LEFT."Sir,—Some months ago the city fathers
brought in a by-law, "Keep to the left'on the footpaths. For a time locomo-tion was both easy and pleasant, butto-day how many promenaders recogniseor observe this rule T If our councilmakes a by-law, surely it should be en-forced by the authorities, and carelessor ambidextrous people, who pretendnot to know right hand from theleft, should be taught. Auckland is mak-ing great progress, its population rapidiyincreasing, and in the near futurie easylocomotion will bo impossible, unless therule of the footpath be strictly observed.Anyone who can walk the whole length ofQueen Street - to-day without gettingbruised ribs and sore elbows is extremely .
fortunate. Another matter requiring at-tention is that it is quite the usual cus-
tom in Auckland for people to stand Ingroups in the centre of tne_ footpath en-gaged in conversation, and blocking upthe pathway. In Wellington, the con-stable on duty instructs them to movein a body to the outside of the footpath.This arrangement keeps the footpathclear for pedestrians, and could be ap-plied with advantage locally.

SECTIONS AT OREWA.Sir,—The Lands Department, last
year, auctioned Orewa Extension., No.8, as "ideal camping and seaside resi-dence-sites, facing. Orewa beach, 'whichis one of the best beaches handy toAuckland," and sold all the allotmentsat sometimes double the reserves. OnMay 9 Extension No. 9 was offered, theresorve figures being doubled; these wereagain snapped up. Extension No. 10 ianow in prospect, but, as a belated buyer,I am told the department, pending com-pletion of reading and other necessaryworks, has postponed further sales. Thedistrict engineer lias £400 earmarked forthis purpose, and is pushing on with theseworks. Why not, therefore, market Ex- 'tension No. 10 in, time for other expec-tant campers, who, like myself, as afamily man, desire nothing so much asthe prospect of Christmas at Orewa TMay I add that the plantation reservefronting the beach on which the depart-ment has already done some useful work,is suffering sadly from neglect; straystock are ruining what has already beenaccomplished. The Lands Departmentseems fully seized of the commercialvalue and importance of two miles ofhard, clean, sandv beach, but so also docity dwellers. The allotments are sur-veyed and ready; why withhold them?

COAL SUPPLIES.Sir,—-*' All Black " asks mo to cite cases
to prove my statement that the demandfor coal had increased in countries wherehydro-electric schemes had been adopted.I have pleasure in doing so. Canada, thoUnited States and Sweden are the coun-tries where hydro-electricity has beenchiefly developed and for a period of nineyears, 1898 to 1907, the increase in coalconsumption in these countries was as fol-lows (in thousands o? tons), see Webb'sDictionary of Statistics:—
189a1902. 1907.Canada . 5,773 9,677 17,291U.S.A. .. 193,175 265,694 417,875Sweden . 2,692 3,282 4,796Since the war the increase has again
been striking, in one year the UnitedStates producing no less than 605,600,000tons, and Canada in 1921 produced15,057,000 tons and imported in that yearto a value of 40 million dollars. "AltBlack's" figures for 1922 and 1923 ar*correct, but tho previous, year's importswere 822,458 tons, making an average im-portation into New Zealand of 589,909tons'per annum for the three years. Forthe first seven months of this year the im-ports have increased by more than 160per cent, over the imports for the samoperiod last year, so that there is everyprobability that my figure of 700,000 willbe exceeded.

WANGANUI AND WAITEMATA.Sir,—What has Wanganui done to Mer-
cutio ? The question is prompted by hissatirical allusion to the good ship "Kar-roo's" recent visit to this port. Surely'never was snch a shaft of satire aimed soclumsily. Captain Bobinson's frank recog-nition of the big possibilities of the Wa-nganui Harbour seems to have jarred poorMercutio's parochial susceptibilities, or wasit that his mental equilibrium was dis-turbed by the sorrowful contemplation ofa submerged wharf nearer home ? Rathera shocking occurrence that, eh, Mercutio ?
Not exactly what one might regard as ashining example of successful harbour con-struction. Not being an Aucklander,.I'm inclined to think it was rather luckyfor the "Karroo " that she was snuglyberthed at Wanganui instead of beingtied up to a Waitemata contraption of thedisappearing variety. "All things areposßibloC«ven a harbour at Wanganui,"quotes! the facetious Mercutio. Shall Ibeheld guilty of the retort discourteous when 1I remark that the unprecedented happen- 'ing to which I have diffidently alluded in-dicates that "strange things are possible—even in the Auckland Harbour." Inci-dentally may, I add that one of the thingsthat has proved both possible and practi-cable is the despatch from the Port ofWanganui of much wool from our northernhinterland which hitherto went seawardsvia Auckland. Perhaps, after all,.that isthe explanation of Mercutio's ungenerousand unneighbourly grouse.

EMPIRE POLITICS.Sir,—It is quite refreshing to come
across people in this Dominion who donot take " Imperial Preference" or "Pro-tection" for granted. Therefore I wel- •come the letter by Dr. Giles on the abovesubject. Like him, I would like to seeEmpire Free Trade as a first 6tep towardthe ideal of universal freedom of trade, jThe United States are an example of freetrade which ought to cause people tothink. Inside a century it is quite pos-sible the population of that country willbe 1000 millions, and it is inconceivablethat there will ever be any tariff re-strictions within the area. What wouldbecome of the stock arguments for pro-tection in the face, of such a happening.And if internal free trade is unquestionedfor the United States of America rath its110 millions, why not for Greater Bri-tain with its 66 millions? There are re-presented in the United States a vastnumber of nationalities; low wages anahieli wages; every conceivable standaruof living; there is a vast area and every

TESTIMONY FROM AN AUCKLANDRESIDENT.
Piles Cured.Mrs. W. Collings, 236, Balmoral Road,
Edendale, Auckland, says: "A memberof my family is a great believer in Doan'sOintment, and always keeps a pot of thissplendid remedy in the home. Sometime ago he was suffering very muchwith Piles, the irritation being often al-most unbearable. He used many adver-tised cures, but until he applied Doan'sOintment, nothing seemed able to givehim any relief. A friend suggested tohim to try Doan's Ointment, so hebought a pot and used it with most bene-ficial results. It gave him ease almost atonce, and before long the plies had ;om-pletely disappeared. He is never troubledwith the complaint now, but likss tohave Doan's Ointment handy in case thetrying irritation should return at anytime.'

THE NAVY'S NEW LEASE.
Already the return of Mr. Baldwinto power is arousing confidence thatnaval affairs will get more adequateattention. When the general elec-tion of last year came suddenly uponthe country, his Government had justcompleted the framing of an excel-lent programme, covering capitalships, light cruisers, naval bases,and oil fuel reserves. As to capitalships, two battleships, to be namedthe Nelson and the Rodney, hadbeen laid down at the end of 1922.Their building was an essential partof the bargain made at Washington.The estimates -for 1923-24 announcedthat the total expenditure on thesetwo vessels by March, 1924, wouldamount to about £3,500,000 out ofapproximately £12,000,000. Besidethe four light cruisers, two sub-
marines and one minelayer alreadybeing built, the Government pro-posed to lay down immediately eightcruisers of a type that the Washing-ton agreement had made • thestandard type for all the great navalPowers —vessels of 10,000 tons ai-medwith 8-inch guns. The special un-employment measures of Mr. Bald-win's Government included thebuilding also of three submarines, asubmarine depot-ahip, two. destroy-ers, a, destroyer depot-ship, twogunboats specially designed for thePersian. Gulf, an aircraft vessel anda minelayer. "All these," the FirstLord s<*:,id, "are necessary require-ments most urgently needed for re-placement." This part of the pro-gramme involved an addition tothe Navy estimates of £5,000,000. Itwould have given direct employ-ment to 32,000 men. The Conserva-tive proposals had in view also therestoration of full mobility to theBritish Beet, and so provided fordeveloping the Singapore base. Par-liament approved this, voting£430,000 for the new works and oiltanks, leaving £10.295,000 for votesin subsequent years. Extending oilfuel reserves, the Government pro-posed additional storage accommo-dation at Aden, Ceylon, Glasgow,Malta, and Rangoon, beside Singa-pore, and installations at Gibraltar,Plymouth, Sierra Leone, Port Said,and the Falklands. The whole
•policy was widely acclaimed as wiseand far-seeing, t*
Just when alt seemed ready foractual operations—preliminary workin connection with developments atSingapore had already begun, inpursuance of Parliament's decisionunder that head—the Baldwin Gov-ernment suffered disaster at thepolls. That cannot be interpretedas disapproval of its naval policy.Other issueß were paramount. Butthere succeeded a Labour Adminis-tration whose campaign speecheshad denounced expenditure on arma-ments. Rather against its will, thatAdministration continued to spendmoney on defence, but with a nig-gard hand. It could not very wellstop work on the battleships Nelsonand Rodney, which were definitelyprovided for in the 5-5-3 ratio of theWashington agreement. But it cutthe programme of eight cruisersdown to five and the rest of the re-placement vessels down to two de-stroyers. Lord Chelmsford's officialstatement showed that the scale oi
xpenditure had been brought muchbelow the 1914 standard; in fact, itwas down to what it had been in1903, before the concentration of thefleet in home wateri and its expan-sion to meet the growing Germanmenace. jVery meagre provisionwas made for naval works and build-ings, which at £3,080,000 was£752,850 less than the expenditurein the previous year and more thanhalf a million below the last pre-war figure. The Singapore "basewas made a special target forLabour's criticism of its predeces-sors, and a paltry £12,500 in the esti-mates was the sort of vote thatseemed meant to add insult to in-jury. In the matter of oil fuel re-serves, the Government pleaded the"continued pressing need foreconomy" as a reason for postponingattention to them. It cannot escapeattention that the Labour Govern-ment's naval policy was whollynegative- It curtailed drasticallythe programme of Mr. Baldwin'sCabinet. Labour had got into officeere the echoes of its denunciationsof naval expenditure had died away,and only lack of courage preventedits wiping out that expenditure atonce and altogether. But officetaught a responsibility unguessed be-fore. One after another, the LabourMinisters at the Admiralty, the WarOffice, and the Air Ministry, whileasseverating that their fundamentalopinions had not altered, madeacknowledgment later of less hostileviews on defence; and the wholeCabinet, at length, through Mr.MacDonald, confessed that therecould be for Britain no safe reduc-tion in armaments except in associa-tion with similar action by foreignPowers.
Anxiety is not yet altogether re-moved. It will take time and energyto bring Britain's naval efficiency. upto the standard allowed by inter-national agreemont. It would beunwise to leave it far below that.There is deep satisfaction that, inanticipation of the ratifying of theWashington agreement, Britain pro-ceeded whole-heartedly to the scrap-ping entailed by it. But there hasbeen unwarrantal>le neglect of theconstruction and maintenance of ves-sels other than capital ships. Thatten years ago, when the Sydneysank the Emden, we had over a hun-dred cruisers, whereas now wehave barely fifty, and thesemostly small, ill-suited to protectour commerce, and outworn, is afact that should startle us intonational activity. Last JanuaryMr. Amcry, who had been First Lordof the Admiralty in Mr. Baldwin'sCabinet, appealed to the House \>fCommons to maintain his late Gov-ernment's policy. In twelve years,
he declared, the whole of our lightcruisers would be obsolete and wornout. To replace and maintainthem, with a view to protecting theEmpire's commerce, there wouldhave to be laid down fifty-twocruisers in the next ten years—anaverage of live a year. A particu-larly heavy drop in the next sixyears would bring a need to laydown many more than that averagein the succeeding three years. Theseand kindred facts give ground forsatisfaction that Mr. Baldwin's Gov-ernment is given opportunity to re-sume the Conservative care of Im-perial defence. Especially in thispart of the world is there reason forgratification. The perfect mobilityof the British fleet means much tothe Dominions, and Australia andNew Zealand are particularly con-cerned about the development of theSingapore base. The cry that it ismeant as a menace to Japan hasbeen proved absurd. It is .no morea menace to Japan than the defencesof Panama are a threat to New Zea-"land. President Coolidge's plea forthe perfecting of Panama's defencesexpresses the British view admir-ably. "We want no more competi-tive armaments," he said ; "we wantno more war. But we want no weak-ness that invites imposition. Apeople who neglect their nationaldefence are putting in jeopardy theirnational honour." So, having regardto the fact that their defences aremainly upon the highway of the sea,British folk welcome the brighteroutlook in naval policy that comesback with Mr. Baldwin and hismajority in Parliament.
ARMISTICE DAY.
[j Six years have passed since thenoise of combat on the Western
- Front was succeeded by silence. Ithas been said that the ceaseless roar
t and turmoil of the front line was one. of the most insidious but most active
- contributors to the cumulative strain) of prolonged service. Yet soldiers
; of long experience have testified• that a sudden silence cutting across• the normal festival of noise was in-
; finitely more disturbing than the up-[ roar which preceded it. Tumult
i seemed natural; when the great! guns ceased to roar, the machine-
guns to rattle with their deadlystaccato note, and even the crackleof rifles died away, there was some-thing sinister in the stillness. Since,then, an unending deafening uproarwas the dominant note of war, it isvery fitting that the anniversary ofthat day when the war ceased shouldbe marked by a period of silence, abrief two minutes cut off from thenormal routine of a busy day. Itseems, perhaps, a little thing to do,to give no more than two brief spansof 60 seconds to the commemorationof the day six years ago when therehappened that for which the worldhad been waiting with an intensityof expectation not equalled in itswritten history. Homage is to bepaid, too, to the memory of thosewho had passed on before the firstsilence fell. That seems to mark thetiny space of time as immeasurablyshort of what is needful- Yet inthat very shortness lies the finaltouch of appropriateness. So muchcould happen in a space of time nolonger than two minutes while theworld was in the grip of war. Wholeyears can be passed in review ineven a less interval. To make thetime of commemoration longer wouldhave cut some off from participation.To have given it any more elaboratecharacter would have destroyed itsuniversality as weil as its simplicity.Had a whole day been given at theoutset, the observance of this anni-versary would have fallen away, in-evitably with the passage of years.Now the commemoration can be, and twill be, just as it was in the firstyear, when poignant memories weremuch fresher. Therefore, as the ,clock strikes to-day, as a solemnhush falls on the city, and on the ,Dominion, there will be opportunity ,for everyone to realise again thattense moment when the words, "Itis over," went out to a waiting ]world. There will be no variation «of the observance in New Zealand, jnor, at the corresponding hour, any- \where in the Empire. The simplicity (
of the commemoration is most fitting jto a race which expresses its deepest tfeelings by silence better than by Ewords on occasions so instinct with >
feeling as Armistice Day. ]
HEAVY IMPORTATIONS.
* The arresting feature of the(Dominion's trade returns for thefirst nine months of the year is thatthe nominal favourable balance hasbeen reduced from £10,916,000 at thehalf-year to £4,919,000. The move-ment is too large to be explained byseasonal dullness of exportation andnormal regularity of importation.Actually imports in the last threemonths exceeded by over £2,000,000half the valuation for the precedingsix months. Imports during theJuly-September period were enteredat £13,493,000, as against exportstotalling £7,496,000, an excess of theformer of £5,997,000. For the cor-responding quarter last year, theexcess was £3,782,000. Even thelatter was regarded aB excessive, andat this time last year solemn warn-ings were being given againßt thedanger of accumulating excessiveBtocks. The position may be morefully demonstrated by a comparisonof the present returns with those for1922. as follows:—
9 months. Exports Imports. Balance.£ £ £
1924 . .41,057,208 86.137.766 4.919,452

*Decrease.The expansion of imports is not re-markable, but the contrast of adouble increase in importation can-not be regarded with equanimity.The prospect is not improved byexamining the returns in terms ofproduction years, taking the July-September period as the first quar-ter of a new season. On that basis,if principles enunciated in the pastare sound, the transactions this yeardemand serious attention, for theadverse balance is the greatest since
the fatal "boom" period of 1920.Following is a summary of the over-seas trade in the spring quarters ofthe last five years:—
Importation in 1921 was abnormallylow, but this year's spring total ishigher by £4,688,000 than theaverage for the three previous years.This increase is not attributablewholly or even chiefly to the ex-penditure of loan money abroad, forthe heaviest increases are in com-modities other than the require-ments of governing authorities. Thatis evident from even a casual selec-tion of items- For instance, whilethe quarter's imports of railway andtramway plant and electricalmachinery amounted to £568,000, asagainst £358,000 last year, motorvehicles represented £906,000 asagainst £750,000; benzine, gasoleneand motor spirit £807,000 as against£403,000; wheat, £560,000 as againstnone; sugar £641,000 as against£334,000. Thus four commoditiesentering into general use account for£1,400,000 of the total increase of£3,200,000. The country is plainlyimporting beyond its means, andunless the movement is quicklychecked, embarrassing consequencesmust be expected-
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
MEN AND BEASTS.Few things are more remarkable than
the reticence of most animals, wild or
tame, says a writer in the Times. Be-tween men and beasts there is intimacy,often a deep affection: there is even, upto a point, communication by which,within certain limits, we and they maymake our wishes known. These limitsmen have long wished to extend. Pass-ing beyond the mere parrot-noises of com-mand or anger, they talk to their animalsand sometimes believe that they are under-stood. Perhaps they are. Dogs havea hundred gestures in which they seem toshare human grief and joy; they and otheranimals can be very highly trained; weoften declare that they "seem to knowwhat we were saying or thinking." Buthe would be a bold iman who pretended toknow, in more than the crudest outline,what they say or think. After genera-tions of domesticity cats have scarcely toldus more of themselves than tigers. In thezoo, in the stables, and at our own fire-side there is the same eternal aloofness.Now and then there are signs which weinterpret as pleasure, wrath, or fear; butthe rest is silence, and, it would seem tosome, a voluntary, determined, even con-temptuous, silence. If animals wished totell us their thoughts, would not evolu-tion, it is objected, long ago have broughtthem at least a little way on the pathtoward communication ? It is not flatter-ing to believe that they consider all thechatter of the world as unworthy of areply. While we stand,. with paper-bagin hand, peering at their captive tragedy,we may pretend that the great beasts dis-
regard us because they feel themselves tobe divided from us by a measureless in-feriority. There is, however, an oppositeexplanation which we should do well toconsider while we volubly patronise thelion.
A FINANCIAL GENIUS.The successful execution of the Dawes
plan will depend very largely upon theAgent-General for Separations, whose taskhas been described as that of managingthe delivery of reparations to the creditornations without disturbing the mechanismof international exchange. To that posi-tion has been appointed Mr. SeymourParker Gilbert, an American 32 yearsof age, who has displayed such remark-able talents in the management of finan-cial matters that he has been acclaimedas another Alexander Hamilton, who wasSecretary of the Treasury under Presi-dent Washington. Ten years ago, aftera brilliant career at the Harvard LawSchool, Mr. Gilbert joined the war loanstaff of the United i States Treasury.Within two years, he was assistant-secre-tary, and in the following year, under-secretary, second in command to Mr.Mellon. At 30 he resigned to resumethe practice of law " with such a careerbehind him as might be the envy of astatesman of seventy." Estimating hisprospects of accomplishing the taste be-fore him, one biographer say3 He hascertain outstanding qualifications for thejob. His work under four Secretaries ofthe Treasury will stand him in goodstead. He has been accustomed to dealwith figures in the hundreds of millions.He has kept close touch with internationalfinance through the war loans, throughthe operations of the Treasury, andthrough his contacts with the Repara-tions Commission. Political conditionslurk always in the background. Thereagain Gilbert has had unusual training.Politics and politicians are no strangersto the man ' who conducts the relationsbetween the American Treasury and theAmerican Congress. One attribute,which some people might think essential,Gilbert notably lacks. He is no sort ofa figurehead. He is no Bort of a magnetfor publicity. In that respect he is thevery antithesis of General Dawes. Heis a young man of energy, persistence,resourcefulness and special experience,reticent almost) to the point of cultivat-ing obscurity."
INDIA'S GOLD PURCHASES.A remarkable demand for gold by India,
which commenced in mid-July, has con-tinued with only occasional lulls, andat the end of September was still active.In the ten weeks to the end of Septem-ber, India took more gold than she hasever done before within a similar period.Her purchases in London aggregated£2,426,000, while direct shipments fromSouth Africa to Bombay reached the greattotal of £7,228,000. In addition, Indiabought some fair-sized parcels of goldin New York during a short period inwhich her demand was for the momentoutrunning the current South Africanoutput. These are estimated to haveamounted to upwards of £700,000, bring-ing her total purchases during two anda-half months to £10,360,000. India'sgold imports for the whole of 1923amounted to £26,229,000. It is curiousto find that the spread of banking facili-ties in India, so far from lessening thehunger of the native population for gold,is being accompanied by an even keenerdesire for the yellow metal, and in somequarters the suggestion has been madethat the unprecedented demand recentlyexperienced is to be associated with un-easiness in the native mind regarding thepolitical outlook.
LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS.
A wash-house at the rear of a dwellingin New North Road, Kingsland, ownedand occupied by Mrs. T. Hunt, wasgreatly damaged by firo shortly afternoon yesterday. The Mount Albert bri-gade arrived promptly, but the fire wastoo far advanced to allow of saving morethan the shell of the building. The fireis thought to be due to sparks from thecopper fire igniting some inflammablematerial. The residence and the wash-house, which was detached, are insuredfor £350 In the Alliance Office.
The condition of Mrs. Vincent Morley,of Dexter Avenue, Mount Eden, and Mrs.A. A. Donald, of Gillies' Avenue, Epsom,both of whom are in the Auckland Hos-pital suffering from injuries received inthe tramway accident in Wellesley Streeton Friday evening, showed little changeyesterday. Both patients were reportedlast evening to be progressing as well ascould be expected considering the serious-nature of their injuries." The people of Great Britain still
possess the qualities which contributedso much to the greatness of"their countryin the past," was the opinion expressedyesterday by Mr. John Montgomery, aprominent Christchurch business man,who returned by the Makura from a tripto England. Mr. Montgomery found thatwhile there was a good deal of. talk as•to the trade depression in the country,business at the heart was sound andBritain was not likely to lose her placeas the leading nation of the world. Asure indication of the financial stabilityof Britain was the fact that there wasalways ample money available for in-vestment in good securities abroad. Hepointed to the fact of the growingstrength of exchange rates with foreigncountries and said the pound sterlingcould be brought to par in foreign marketswhen this was desired.
An investigation of the mission fieldin Fiji has been made by CommissionerR. Hoggard, of the Salvation Army, whoreturned by the Makura yesterday. Sofar the Islands have been one of thefew parts of the Empire not included inthe Salvation Army organisation, but amovement is now on foot to change this.Commissioner Hoggard expressed himselfas satisfied with his visit, but no definitedecision for the extension of activities toFiji will be reached until the considera-tion of reports covering every aspect ofthe case. .
The ignorance of New Zealand inCanada proved rather astonishing to Mr.T. R Low, of Auckland, who returnedby the Makura yesterday. This appliedeven to Vancouver, where steamers andmails were advertised as leaving for Aus-tralia but with no mention of New Zea-land. In Montreal Mr. Low was sur-prised to read in the evening newspaperthat Mr. James O'Grady, British tradesunionist leader, had been selected byMr. Ramsay MaeDonald/ as Governor-General of New Zealand. Sir JamesO'Grady has, of course, been appointedGovernor of Tasmania.
Formal evidence of identification wasgiven yesterday at an inquest concerningthe death of Mr. Joseph Alexander Dun-can, aged 55, whose body was found inthe harbour near Devonport on Sunday.A post-mortem examination is to bemade. ,| ... ,s ;. :-■■■, $
To provide facilities' for consumers ofelectric current at Onehunga to paytheir accounts without having to journeyto the city, the Auckland Power Boardyesterday decided to establish an office atOnehunga. An official of the board willattend at the office one day each week.
Passengers returning by the Makur*complain of the wretchedly wet summerexperienced in Britain. The weatherquite spoiled projected tours. A strangefact was that, for all the rain* over therest of the country, John o' Groats, thenorthernmost point of Scotland, was suf-fering from a prolonged drought. Thosewho made their way so far afield foundthat they had to go without baths as thewater supply had run low. But onceback at Inverness they were again in therain belt which seemed to stretch rightto Land's End.
The difficulty under which heavy motortransport is maintained between Gisborneand the East Coast was strikingly demon-strated last week, when a large motor-lorry essayed the journey. The load com-prised a pedigree bull, securely housedin a large horse box. Heavy pulling wasexperienced up the Whangara hill, but,approaching the Panikau turn-off thelorry got into difficulties owing to thesubsidence of the road, which is con-stantly occurring at this point. Assist-ance was rendered by another largetruck, and the vehicle was pulled backon to the road. The operation, however,was not effected without considerablerisk, as the loaded lorry threatened totopple completely over on several occa-sions. It was only held in position witha- rope by a number of men who hap-pened to be passing. The vehicle waseventually extricated from the ruts.
A petition in bankruptcy has been filedby William Mower and Conway Teppett,partners in the firm of Mower and Tep-pett, furnishing experts. The first meet-ing of creditors will be hold on Thursday.
The action of Mr. George Niccol, ofAuckland, in acquiring two new cargosteamers for New Zealand while in Eng-land, has naturally been the cause ofsome curiosity on the waterfront. Thefirst of these vessels belonged to theAdmiralty and was known as the Ant,but was renamed Rangitoto. She has agross tonnage of 400. The other steameris the Herekino, of 600 tons, which Mr.Niccol had built. Both vessels are ontheir way to New Zealand. Mr. Niccol,who returned to Auckland from Eng-land yesterday, said neither of thevessels had. passenger aoctommodation,but when asked what he intended to dowith the new ships he smilingly repliedthat he was not making his intentionknown at the moment.
An unusual accident, which fortunatelywas not attended with any seriouß re-sults, befell an employee of the HastingsBorough Council electrical staff lastweek. The man was engaged in wiringoperations when he caught hold of abare wire and was unable to release hisgrip. A heavy shock was going throughhis system the whole time, but even-tually, as the result of a communication,the power station shut off the po-vet- on-
that section. When the current stoppedthe man was able to release his holdand, to the great surprise and relief ofall, it was found tha-t, except for a pain-ful burn on the palm of a hand, he wa3
quite uninjured and was able to resumowork a little later.

CAR COMPLETELY WRECKED.
UNDIMMED LIGHTS BLAMED.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —KRESS ASSOCIATION. ]
WELLINGTON. Monday.The failure of two drivers to dim the
lights on their motor-cars is thought tohave been accountable for an accidentwhich occurred on the Hutt Road, onSaturday night, in which four personswere injured.
Mr. Stanley Aston, who was returningfrom Petone to Wellington, states thatwhen he was near the railway bridgeat Kaiwarra, he saw approaching himtwo motor-cars with strong headlights.He dimmed his lights, but they did not.As a consequence he became blinded bythe glare, and found himself headingstraight for one of the concrete piers ofthe bridge. He swerved sharply to avoidit, at the same time pushing down whathe thought was the footbrake, but whichproved to be the accelerator.
The car leapt forward, and strnck astout telegraph pole, snapping it in two,then turned a complete somersault andbecame a complete wreck.
Mr. Aston had his left arm broken, butthe other occupants marvellously escapedwith only slight injuries.

'A. and N.Z.—Eeuter. PARIS. Nov. 10.Messages from the frontier state that
the Spanish invasion is the largest sincethe Carlist war. The rebels, who hatcheda plot in France, are plentifully supplied.with funds, and have made extensive pur-chases of rifles an i Browning pistols.
' The Spaniards came by different trainsi from Bordeaux, and converged upon four
points on the French side of the fron-tier on Friday. Then the conspiratorsstole over the border frontier by twosand threes, following the goat tracks.
The town watchman at Vera, inNavarre, who was going his rounds withhis candle-lantern and an iron-tipped6taff calling the hours and crying thestate of the weather, became suspicious
j at the advent of so many strangers in themiddle of • the night. Dropping his lan-
I tern he, ran to the gendarmerie bar-• ; racks.
! There he roused the civil guard, and,followed by an infantry detachment, theywent into the streets. They were greetedyiith a (yolley of bullets.
Tight in an Old-world Town.When the military came upon the
rebels, ugly street fighting began in thetortuppi streets of the old-world town..
By dawn five of the- rebels were killedand several were wounded. The rest
'.were forced to flee to the mountains,where they joined rebels from otherpoints of concentration,
z Guerrilla fighting continued, until anumber of the invaders had been hunteddown. The rest were driven back toPrance, swimming or ferrying across theBidassoa Eiver.
Ther French police* last week arrestedscores of armed men, who were going toSpain.-. They admit that they were en-gaged- in. a plot against King Alfonsoand General de Rivera, President of theSpanish Directory. .But for the arrestoi these men the trouble would have beenworse." .
It is expected that a number of theleaders will be tried immediately, and, iffound guilty, they will be garrotted.
I 'Famous Author Takes Part.te Journal publishes a message from
Perpignan to the effect that 16 SpaniardsI who were arrested yesterday have beenj released, no offence having been proved
', against them. Six others have been de-j tained unlawfully carrying arms.
Two of the Spaniards stated that they; Intended to participate in a conspiracy' against- General de Rivera, but did notbelong to any • organisation. Arrests of.persons carrying revolvers and havinganarchist- dobtimehts in their- possessionlave been made.

It is expected that Mr. P. W. Grand-jean, secretary to the Ford Company, of.Canada, and Mr. Hubert C. French,assistant sales manager, who sailed bythe Makura on October 22 for Sydney,.will make a report within a few weekswhich will lead to a speedy decision re-garding the location of the company's
various assembly and body plants inAustralia. Mr. French will bo generalmanager of the Australian enterprise. Itlis virtually certain that either Sydney or'Melbourne will be the site of the bodyiplant.
Plans for erecting one large centralsuch as the one in Canada, were
abandoned because the lack of a uniformrailway gauge in Australia complicatesThe matter of freight transportation. Theproposed five assembly plants will bepractical units administered under ascheme whereby each will supply a<lefinite area.
About 30 members of the local Fordorganisation will go to Australia shortly,including Mr. Ewart Hughes, assistantaccountant. The company recently in-creased its factory capacity in the Cana-dian border cities, its total investmentinvolving about £6,500,000. It is expectedthat the Canadian output of cars will beincreased by 10,000 chassis annually inorder to meet increased Australian re-quirements, which are expected to hebrought about by the new AustralianVenture.

A. and N.Z. LONDON. Nov. J.The Observer says it anticipates that the
Conservatives will inaugurate a vigorousnaval shipbuilding policy, replace obsoleteships, and restore the order for the threecruisers which the Labour Governmentcancelled.
The writer of the article recalls thatthe Admiralty announced a year ago that52 cruisers must be built by 1933 to keepabreast of foreign development. Britainwas also falling behind in destroyerstrength. When the results of the presentexperimental destroyers were known, anextensive programme was likely to be for-mulated. The fleet also needed up-to-dateaircraft carriers.
The naval correspondent of the Morn-ing Post, in a stirring account of theSydney's destruction of the Emden,headed "Ten Years Ago" concludes:"When the Emden was destroyed wehad over 100 cruisers in commission. To-day we have barely 60, and they aremostly small and ill-suited for the protec-tion of commerce. Many of them arenearly worn out, moreover."
SINGAPORE BASE SCHEME.
FAR-REACHING PROBLEM.
THE JAPANESE VIEWPOINT.
A. and N.Z. LONDON. Nov. 9."The Singapore base is a difficult ques-
tion to the new Government, owing toJapanese misgivings," remarks the Ob-server. "Singapore is regarded by theJapanese as a move, in the opposite direc-tion to the -Anglo-Japanese Alliance,which the . Washington Conferencescrapped. Nothing is gained by shuttingour eyes. Japanese feeling has been in-tensified by the recollection that Japan hasbeen a loyal friend to Britain for 20years. Japanese confidence is an essen-tial element in the understanding betweenthe naval Powers.
"Canada's rearness to America, andAustralia's nearness to Japan may createconflicting views on the British navalpolicy in the Pacific.
"At the Imperial Conference in 1921, be-fore the Washington Conference,' Canadaopposed the continuance of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, and Australia favouredit. The Singapore base scheme is a far-reaching and important problem, and it isexpected that the Government will make ahasty decision."

AUSTRALIAN TRAGEDY.
MENTAL HOSPITAL PATIENT,
BODY FOUND IN A SACK.
A. and N.Z. • SYDNEY. Nov. 10.The body 6f Harold Besley, aged S£7
years, who had been menetally defectivesince his birth, was found trussed up ina sack at the Hawkesbury River, nearthe Milson Island Mental Hospital, ofwhich he had been an inmate. ' Appar-ently he had been killed by a heavy blowon the skull.
The police believe he was murdered bya fellow-inmate, as the thoroughness thatcharacterised the crime is typical ofnearly every murder committed by insanepeople during the past decade.
The Milson Island Mental Hospitalcontains 140 patients, all of whom arebelieved to be harmless imbeciles,epileptics and idiots. Besley was verypopular with attendants and patients.
An examination of the body showed thatthe wound on the head had been made bya blow sufficiently heavy to render theman unconscious, but that death was duoto drowning. There were no other marksof violence on the body.
Suspicion attaches to one of the patientsat the institution. Detectives are makinginquiries, but there is little hope of a suc-cessful elucidation of the crime, as almostall the patients are in a pitiable state ofdefective mentality and incapable of in-telligently answering questions.

PLAY OF THE VISITORS.
SYDNEY WRITER'S OPINION.
Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.(Reed. 5.5 p.m.) SYDNEY. Nov. 10.
The cricket reporter of the SydneyMorning Herald who is attending thematch, South Australia v. England, atAdelaide, commenting on the Englishbowling, says that Gilligan is not a fastbowler for the first few overs, but usesa three-quarter pace. He soon tires downto no more than a fastish medium de-livery. Tate impressed him much morefavourably than did the English captain.Unlike Gilligan Tate takes comparativelyshort runs and gets a surprising amountof pace into his delivery, both throughthe air and off the pitch. He may bedescribed as between medium fast andmedium in pace. TyldesW sends downleg breaks a trifle faster than the usualrun of such bowlers.
As the tour progresses the bowlers willbecome more accustomed to Australianconditions, and will no doubt achievesome conspicuous, successes, but onlyafter much endeavour, says the writer.In reference to the fielding, he says thatin a few instances it has been brilliant.The rest of the time, though safe enough,it has been just of average quality. Thecricket so far was not suggestive of anychange in the destination of the "ashes."

NAVAL CRUISE ENDED.HOMECOMING OF SQUADRON.
SPEECH BY VICE-ADMIRAL FIELD.
LOYALTY OF THE DOMINIONS.
[FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.!LONDON. Oct. 7.
Prompt to scheduled time the two sec-tions of the Special Service Squadron metoff the Lizard last week and steamed thefirst part of the journey up the Channel mcompany. The King was one of the first
to welcome his squadron back to homewaters. In a message to Vice-AdmiralSir Frederick Field, he said: "I. wish toexpress to you, to Rear-Admiral SirHubert Brand, and the officers and ships'companies, my warm congratulations onthe success which has attended this memor-able cruise. You have pro%ed yourselvesworthy repreentatives of the BritishNavy, and have maintained its best tradi-tions in many distant lands. I thankyou, and those under your command, forthe great service rendered to the Empire,Ejid I wish you all a happy return to vourfamilies and homes."
The inhabitants of Plymouth were
naturally disappointed that the shipsshould- have come into harbour underthe cover of darkness. Not onlydid they arrive in Plymouth Sound after
dark, but in passing up the harbour in the
early hours of the morning they wereobscured by the mist. The ships steamedfrom the Lizard to Eddystone to-gother.There the Plymouth ships parted companywith the others, which proceeded to theirrespective home ports. On the way upChannel, many messages of farewell wereexchanged between the ships. As theHood steamed into Devonport harbour theband of the Delhi, as she was passing,played "It's Hard to Say Good-bye."
Tribute to the Dominions.Plymouth's welcome was voiced by the
Mayor, Mr. Solomon Stephens, who wenton board the Hood in state and accom-panied by the mace-bearers, the townclerk, and the members of the SpecialPurposes Committee of the Town Council.He said it had been with great pride thatthey had noted the dignity with whichthe honour of England had been main-tained.
Vice-Admiral Sir Frederick Field, inreply, said they greatly appreciated thethought which had prompted the officialwelcome back to that old naval port. "Wehave travelled some forty thousand miles,"he "continued, "end with the exception, so
far as this battle-cruiser is concerned, oftwo places, we have never touched at anyport which does not belong to the BritishEmpire. If you could have felt the greatloyalty to His Majesty King George and
seen the thousands of our countrymencheering the British Navy and the Britishnation, indeed your hearts would have beenuplifted as ours have been. We have hada most wonderful reception. If we havedone our duty well, if we have in somesmall measure by our efforts done some-thing to weld together the bonds of thegreat Empire to which we belong, thenwe have been amply rewarded."
In a subsequent interview Vice-AdmiralField spoke of the vast resources of theEmpire awaiting development, and howessential it was that children should betaught in schools its possibilities andpotentialities. They had all been enor-mously impressed, he said, with the Do-minions' wonderful loyalty to theMotherland. The devotion to the Empire,with England as the home always in thebackground, had found outlet in manyspontaneous acts. For example, a dozenof them would be gathered in the Mayor'sparlour when the company would risespontaneously and sing the NationalAnthem. "We have been close to thatsentiment," he concluded-, "and knowwhat it is like. Nothing can exaggeratethe great loyalty to the Crown an lovefor. the Mother Country. There wasalways the feeling that we are all of thesame stock."
" Serious Naval Weakness."According to the naval correspondent
of the Morning Post, the cruise will havefailed in its purpose unless it brings hometo people in this country our very seriousnaval weakness abroad. "Where we usedto have a hunched cruisers before thewar," says the writer, "we have barelyfifty to-day, and these latter are for the-most part small ships, rapidly growing oldand getting worn out, and designed essen-tially for the North Sea. They lack sea-keeping qualities, speed and endurancefor ocean work, yet we are laying downonly five new ships, which will scarcelyreplace those which will be worn out bythe time they are built, and will donothing to make up the deficiency. Intimes past we were wont to safeguard thelives and interests of British subjects andour sea-borne commerce all over theworld, by maintaining adequate cruiserforces on every station. To-day we haveto send ships on a tour of demonstrationlike a. stage army, which essays to makeup for lack of numbers by the brillianceof its entries and its exits. This Empirecruise has, indeed, been a brillant success,but its glories are already passing and weshall do well to re-establish our sea secur-ity on a more solid and permanent basis."
Some interesting figures have been pre-pared showing the number of visitors tothe ships of the Special Service Squadronduring the cruise. The Hood alone re-ceived 752,049 members of the generalpublic and others who took part inorganised visits, and 35,770 guests atten-ded "at homes" and dances in her.The total number of visitors for thesquadron was 1,936,717. Several mascotshave been brought home, including twobeavers, which are going to the Zoo, anda wallaby. The latter shows no desirewhatever to leave the Hood, and the crewcertainly has no desire that it shoulddepart.

RESIGNATION EN MASSE.
JAPANESE LABOUR TROUBLE.
SHIPPING LINE EMPLOYEES.
AN UNPOPULAR OFFICIAL.
Reference to the disruption in theNippon Yusen Kaisha Shipping Line re-sulting from friction between the em-ployees and the president, has been maderecently in cablegrams received fromJapan. The unique method- adopted bythe Japanese in dealing with such dis-putes is, indicated in a statement issuedby the company's employees at the Kobebranch, copies of which were receivedby local merchants through the last East-ern mail. The circular is printed inEnglish as follows:—
" The Nippon Yusen Kaisha, known asone of the largest national organisationsof the shipping business, has been main-tained under the generous support of theGovernment and the public of our coun-try. Following the demise of BaronKondo, and ever since Mr. Ito assumedthe presidency, there have been continuousdisputes, the main reasons of which, weconclude, are: —

NO SERA AVAILABLE.
ATTITUDE OF THE DEPARTMENT.
Interesting reference to 'the<Spahlingertreatment for tuberculosis was made byDr. T. H. A. Valintine, Director-Generalof Health, during an address to thepatients of the Pukeora sanatorium, Wai-pukurau.
Although his department had corres-ponded for some time past with Professor '
Spahlinger, said Dr. Valintinej it wasunable to obtain any satisfactory answerto inquiries. Several countries had evengone so far as to send him considerablesums of money to purchase supplies of hissera, but in several instances Spahlingerhad found it necessary to return themoney. The Government would make - agrant to purchase the sera, but there wasno sera obtainable. Spahlinger had manytimes said that even if he had sufficient ifunds, it would take three or more years'to furnish sufficient supplies for New Zea-land. The department believed Spahlingerto be on the right track in his quest fora cure for tuberculosis, said Dr. Valintine,and the people of New Zealand could restassured that the Health Department woulddo its utmost to gain supplies. Accredited :
representatives of the department, when atGeneva, investigating the treatment withthe greatest perseverance, could not ob-tain even small supplies. '

ARMISTICE DAY.THE SIXTH ANNIVERSARY.
HOMAGE TO GALLANT DEAD.
If' SILENCE OF AN EMPIRE.
IMPRESSIVE COMMEMORATION.
The British Empire to-day will cele-brate in impressive simplicity the sixthanniversary of Armistice Day. In everycountry tinder the British flag the dis-tinctive feature of the commemorationwill again be an observance of twominutes' national silence, beginning at 11a.m. It is a simple service representingeloquent homage to the Glorious Dead.The words of Chesterton will echo inmany a loyal and lonely heart i
How small a shrivelled h»u»l I*** haacrumpled here and ouxlea;
They died to save their country, andthey only saved the world. •
It is not an occasion for words- Thedeep, true emotion that arises with mem-ories finds its noblest service in the " sil-ence that was known before the windswere made."
The historic Armistice was signed atSpa at 5 a-m. on November 11, 1918, andhostilities ceased on all froute at 11 a.m.The Allied signatories to the documentvren Marshal Foch and Admiral Sir Ross-lyn Wemyss. It was the end of the
freatest and most terrible of all warsnown to history. And what a wonder-
ful moment it was in the' strange experi-ences of millions of soldiers. The four?ears' desperate struggle over at last,
he four years' dreadful noise was at anend. As all Soldiers remember and willnever forget there was nothing more'todo except to be glad. And they wereglad.
Six years have passed and memorieshave not faded. Nor even yet can glad-ness be supreme. Many people to-daywill experience again the raw grief ofwar. Deep wounjas of. the heart willopen afresh. Many, many familiar faceswill be recalled. In the silence andsolemnity of a nation's commemorationof sacrifice and achievement those whoremember with the vividness of but yes-terday, aa it were, will find _ Bolace ina common remembrance.All traffic and industry in Auckland
will cease at eleven o'clock and re-main still for two minutes, Agun will be fired at Albert Park tomark the commencement of the periodand again to mark its conclusion. Inthat impressive silence those who remem-ber and meditate on all that lies at theheart of the commemoration, which be-gins in New Zealand and passes in tenderrepetition around the vast Empire of Free-dom, will be near in spirit to the beloved.dead and within the shelter of angels'wings.

PASTRYCOOKS' AWARD.
f SOME DISPUTED POINTS.
ARGUED BEFORE THE COURT.
[BY TELEGRAPH.—PBBSS ASSOCIATION. ]CHRISTCHURCH. Monday.
Several points affecting the wholeDominion arising ont of the bakers' andpastrycooks' award, were argued beforethe Arbitration Court to-day. One was'the question of an annual picnic holiday.The master bakers held that the picnioshould be on some • day other than Satur-day, but the journeymen bakara wishedto have it on Saturday as at present, asthis gave them a clear day. It was alsoasked that throughout New Zealand thesecretaries of the unions should havepower to inspect the wages books. This,it was stated, was enforced in. Canterburyat present. The employers objected, andthe Court was asked to make a specificclause to the effect that secretaries hadno right to go on to the premises ofemployers. Mr. Justice Frazer pointedout that the provision asked for by theemployees was not usually granted utilpsrconsented to by both parties.
Mr. Hammond, for the employers, saidthey did,not object to conceding a picnicholiday under the Shops and Offices Act,but asked that the holiday should beheld on any day other than Saturday.He added that the parties had reachedcomplete agreement in regard to the mat-ter of apprenticeship, and it was desiredthat this should be incorporated in thenew award.
Application was made on behalf of thebotae-made- cake shopo for exemption fromthe award. In objecting, Mr. Veale'saidthat iq the majority of cases women wereemployed in .these business. Only a fewmen were employed, while many of theshops bought block cako and buns fromordinary pastrycooks, and it was diffi-cult to make a distinction.
Mr. Justice Frazer: The question iswhat is a journeywoman baker worth bycomparison with a journeyman ?Mr. Prime, secretary of "the CanterburyEmployers' Association, suggested thatthe scale of wages for female cooksSH be two-thirds that of journeymen.His Honor said the award had to bemodified with regard to some of the horne-busine^'8 shops at present carrying onThe Court reserved its decision on allpoints.

To establish the Fcrd Motor Companyin Australia is the mission of Mr. Philip-Grandj'ean, secretary of the Canadian or-ganisation, who is a through passengeron the Makura. The project is to incor-porate a new company, as a subsidiary ofthe main concern, with a capital of£1,000,000. With Mr. Grandjean areMessrs. Hubert French and R. A. Mac-farlane, formerly sales manager andToronto manager, now respectively gen-eral and sales managers of the new con-cern.
The scope of operations in Australia hasnot yet been finalised but preliminaryplans are for the creation of five assemblyElantg at the main centres and one largeody-building plant. High protectiveduties on complete cars have been theinducement to take up the new enter-prise. The Canadian company has de-cided to work inside the tariff barrier sofar as assembly and body building areconcerned. Mr. Grandjean would notundertake that this would effect an imme-diate reduction in the price of his com-pany s arti.de on the Australian marketbut said that should be the result whenthe organisation was perfected and insmooth running order.As for New Zealand, there were noplans meanwhile.

FATAL MOTOR ACCIDENT.TRUCK GOES OVER BANK.
DRIVER DAZZLED BY SUN.
fBX XKXBGBAPH.—-PKESS ASSOCIATION.]WELLINGTON. Monday.
An inquest was continued to-day re-garding the death of Frank Garland,who was killed in a motor accident atPlimmerton.
John Timothy Hynes, residing at Plim-merton, said that on October 11 deceasedstayed at his bach. Next afternoon wit-ness took a truck on a demonstration run,deceased driving. On arrival at Paekaka-riki their party of four had a drink, andafter a short interval had another one,both as the publican's guests. The re-turn journey was then commenced.Everything went• smoothly for a time,but between Pahautanui and Plimmertonthey collided with a motor, and then raninto a bank. Their speed varied fromeight to 30 miles an hour. When near
at a bend in the- road, thedriver turned the car about one-thirdround the'corner, and then it went rightover the bank. It toppled about 25ft.,turning twice over as it fell. All theoccupants were thrown out, and Mr.Garland was so badly injured that hedied shortly afterwards. When on thereturn journey, witness had in his posses-sion a bottle of whisky, partly full. Noneof it was partaken of by the party on thereturn trip.
Gilbert Tinney said all the liquor inthe "bach" at the week-end was a bottleof whisky.' Witness thought the accidentwas the result of the sun shining rightin the driver's eyes as the truck wastravelling down hill. Another explanationwas that the driver's attention was at-tracted elsewhere. Garland had only twodrinks at Paekakariki and seemed abso-lutely sober.'
John O'Connor said the speed on thejourney was quite normal.
Frederick Yates, who saw the truckpassing his farm, b&M it was going sofast that he could not recognise the oc-cupants, all of whom he knew.
The corone found that death was dueto the truck falling over the hill, causedby the se;tii;ig sun dazzling deceased'seyes. ' ?'
THE DIVINE COMEDY.
DITJCESAN SCHOOL PAGEANT.
The wealth of beauty contained mDante's Divine Comedy was revealed toa very large audience at the DiocesanGirls' High School last evening, whenthe pupils of the senior forms staged apageant depicting the principal scenes inVirgil's ana Dante's wanderings in theBlessed Isle.
The pageant consisted of a double pro-logue, and the.adventurings of the couple
in regions where earth-sptrits are under-going penance, unlearning the follies ofmortal existence, expiating wrongs donein the flesh. The staging of so remarkablea dranra was an ambitious effort, but theresults justified the attempt. The girlsentered into the spirit of the drama witha fine appreciation of its beauty, and themagnificent lines of one of the greatestmasterpieces of literature received a verycreditable interpretation. The mere factthat such a pageant could have beenstaged and presented in such a manner isa tribute to those who conceived andorganised the production, and to thosetaking part in its presentation. As a featof memory alone, their accomplishmentwas a memorable one.
The stage settings, depicting the vari-ous terraces where mortal sins are ex-piated, were simple, but effective. Aninvisible choir supplied devotional music,which heightened the effectiveness of thespoken lines in no small measure.
In mounting the steps that led to thefinal purification of the sonl, Dante andhis guide met with many angel visitantsas well as grieving mortal sinners, thepageant concluding with the scene inwhich the souls of Dante and Beatrice,his Lady of Blessing, are reunited.
The staging of such a pageant as theDivine Comedy is fraught with high edu-cational value, apart from the mere lip-rendering of its wonderful lines, and itspresentation mav well rank as one of thefinest efforts of the kind. the pupils ofthe Diocesan School have undertaken.

DOMINION'S TRADE.RETURNS FOR NINE MONTHS.
HEAVY IMPORTATIONS.
RECORD IN MOTOR VEHICLES.
. The external trade of New Zealand forthe nine months ended September 30amounted to £77,194,964, which just fallsshort of the record figure for the svrres-ppnding period of 1920. Imports cLv.imed£36,137,756, and exports £41,057,208.Disregarding "invisible" items, such asinterest payments due abroad, . he bal-ance in favour of the Dominion was£4,919,452, as against £10,916,591 at theend of the half-year. The GovernmentStatistician observes that this deciease ofthe balance toward the end cf 1": ; yearis an i iiaually-recurring f'-.tur-y andarises out of the fact that w.ifire;-;* thebulk of exports are shipped in the firsthalf-year, the volume of imports is fairlyconstant throughout the whole year.
Exports show an advance of £3,466,102over the figure for the first nine monthsof 1923, wool being mainly responsiblefor the increase. The value of wool ex-ported to the end of September was£13,345,551, as against £9,657,576. Thisincrease of nearly £4,000,000, consideredin conjunction with the fact that the
Suantity shipped this year was slightlyess than d ring the 1923 period gives
some indication of the record prices ob-tained. Substantial increases are alsoevident in frozen mutton, sheepskins andrabbitskins, while a falling-off was re-corded in the export of the followingitems (1923 figures in parentheses):—Butter, £6,769,756 (£7,463,309); cheese,£5,268,591 (£5,370,436); frozen beef,£642,289 (£791,838); kauri gum,£331,533 (£473,822); gold, £408,550(£490,567).
Imports of £36,137,756 compare withthe 1923 total of £31,481,795. The im-portation of motor-vehicles continues atan Increased rate, the figures up to ..theend of September being 14,097 vehicles,valued at £2,611,460. This compareswith 10,305 vehicles valued at £1,757,523during the 1923 period, and is easily thehighest on record. .
Other increases oil importance in theimports were (1925 values

STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT.
Successive steps in the development ofco-operation among insects were lucidlyexplained by Mr. G. E. Archey last even-ing in a lecture given at St. Andrew'sHall under the auspices of the AucklandInstitute. The lecture was well attended.
The lecturer dealt with insect communi-ties but for this lecture confined himselfto describing the social habits of wasps,and beetles. He took first of all theSacred Scarab beetle and with the aid oflantern slides showed that the femalecollected a store of food which she placedin a safe place and in which she depositedthe egg. When the grub hatched it wattleft to feed on the food provided. In thecase of, the Sisyphus, the smaller rela-tive of the Scarab, the male assisted withthe placing of the food supply for theoffspring, thus indicating the beginningof co-operation in the insect world. Afurther stage was noted in the Copris.several species of which provided the foodsupply and remained to escort the youngwhen developed, thus displaying familyorganisation. In each of the cases men-tioned there was mass" provisioning for theyoung.,
Mr. Archey next . dealt with otherspecies that provided food as the youngdeveloped, and came to insects with amuch more complicated family organisa-tion, where several generations lived in alarge colony. The practice of wasps ioproviding for the larvae by preying. onother insects was explained, a lanternslide showing the Sphex wasp whichparalyses caterpillars by stinging them,carrying them in a drugged condition tothe nest, thus providing fresh food forthe grub to feed on. The progressivemethod of provisioning in the case ofwasps was also noted, some of these in-sects obtaining supplies of flies as re-quired. The development of family lifein the social wasps was shown in a seriesof slides, the original parent becominga kind of queen, as in the case of thebee, with an army of workers supplyingthe food for the young. At the end ofthe season all but the fertilised femalesdied and these secreted themselves dur-ing the winter after which thoy eachcams out to found a separate colony. Bees,howevar, carried this organisation fur-ther, persisting for several years.

SALTING GOLD INGOTS.BULLION FROM THE SEA-BED.
LAURENTIC'S VAST TREASURE
ONLY FIVE BARS MISSING.
SUCCESSFUL DIVING OPERATIONS.
Gold ingots, numbering 3211 and worthover £5,000,000, together with mintedsilver to the value of another £1,000,000—such was the treasure loaded on board theWhite Star liner Laurentic, which, dur-ing heavy weather, was sunk off the Irishcoast on January 26, 1917, through strik-ing a mine or being torpedoed by anenemy submarine. On her last fatefulpassage the Laurentic was bound for Hali-fax, Nova Scotia, the bullion in herstrongroom being destined for the pay-ment of accounts for munitions of warsupplied from the United States. Whenthe ship was off Fanad Head, on thecoast of Ireland, £i terrific explosion shookthe vessel, and tore a vast wound in herbow. All efforts to put the ship aboutand beach her proved futile, and she sankquickly in about 21 fathoms of water.Of her large company of men, many losttheir lives.
Particulars of the salvage operations forthe recovery of the gold, which, althoughprotracted, were eminently successful,were given yesterday by one of the menwho, for three years, was asso.ciated withthe venture, and who is now in Auckland.The first vessel sent to the wreck wasthe Volunteerj in 1917, but beyond mak-ing investigations as to depth and othermatters, little was done. The submarinemenace was then at its height, and oftenthe Volunteer had to slip her mooringsand run for safety. But, >in spite of thesemenaces, the season's work, under thesupervision of Commander G. C. C. Dam-aht, proved quite successful, 508 gold in-gots being salved.
Ship Gone to Pieces.Access to the bullion room amidships
had to be made by blasting, and finallythe naval divers cut their way into theheart of the wreck. The menace of theU-boats prevented any salvage attemptsin 1918, but in the following year divingwas conducted with the utmost energy,the salvage ship Racer taking the placeof the Volunteer.
The first diver down in 1919 had rathera shock. All that met his gaze was ajumble of steel Bhip's plates, and one ortwo boilers rolling on the sea bed. Thestrong tides had played havoc with thewreck, and, as a result, months had to bespent in clearing away the junk. Tornhands and broken finger nails were the lotof the underwater workers, but, doggedlyand stubbornly, they stuck to their work,finally winning a new way to where theingots lay. When the Racer returned toPortsmouth at the close of the fineweather season of 1919, she had 313 barsof gold under hatches. The Eacer wasback on the scene in 1920, but the seasonproved most unsuccessful. Gelignite andpowerful lifting tackle were again broughtinto use, and the obstructions wereslowly removed. Six months of strenuouslabour, however, yielded only 17 bars ofgold. Disappointed, but not deterred,the salvors in the Racer returned to Eng-land for the winter. March of 1920 againsaw the salvors off the hills of Donegal,ready again to essay the task of winninggold from the sea bed. This season'swork, however, was only partially success-ful, 43 bars being recovered.
" One in the Bucket."The most profitable period was from
March, 1922, to the end of October, 1924,which latter month saw the conclusion ofthe treasure quest. In March, 1922, theRacer again came on the scene. The firstdiver down, Petty Officer E. Crouch, hadhardly been two minutes on the wreckagewhen he called out through the telephone,"One in the bucket." Ingot after ingotwas found, and soon there were 17. inthe bucket. Before half an hour had
Eassed treasure to the value of £27,000ad been hauled to the surface. This
was more than double the amount salvedduring the whole of the 1920 season. Thework in 1922 was also successful. Onsome days gold to the value of thousandsof pounds was strewn about the Racer'sdeck, just as though it werd pig-iron.Each day the gold wa3 boxed up and re-moved to the destroyer. In 1922 two de-stroyers were engaged in the protectionof the salved bullion, and these vesselsbetween them carried to port, for despatchto the Bank of England, 895 gold ingots,valued at about £1,500,000, the result ofsix months' diving. Even greater successmarked the diving in 1923, when 13bUingots were brought up from the wreck,leaving only 195 to be located in 1924.And of these, all. except five, were re-covered by the divers before the end oflast month.
Diver's Under-Water Pressure.A day in tho life of a diver working
on the wreck of the Laurentio held un-bounded Interest and always there wasthe gamble as to how much \tarald besalved. - All the operations were carriedout on a well-arranged system. The diverdescended to the wreck by means of theuteel wire "shot" rope, and the bucket,a massive iron basket-like receptacle, wasthen lowered to him. The diver loadedthe recovered ingots into the bucketand then signalled for them to be hauledup. A large amount of stone, sand andsilt had to be cleared away each day,and often the divers fingers wero so sore,with cuts and splintered nails, that theycould hardly hold a knife and fork at themess table. The diver's descent tookabout one minute, but over half an hourwas needed to bring him up. He wasbrought up by stages, thus gradually re-ducing the 801b. pressure at the level ofthe wreck to the normal pressure of theopen air.
The Recompression Chamber.Occasionally it happened that by acci-
dent the diver came to the surface toorapidly. When that occurred he was im-mediately brought inboard, undressedfrom his diving suit, and put into a cyl-indrical tank, known as a recompressionchamber. In this tank the diver wasgiven the same pressure of air as whenhe was on the wreck. Food, tea and abook could be handed to the man, throughan air-tight lock-like cavity, and any in-structions would be written on a slateand read by the man through a glass port.
CONCERT AT WOODHILL.
GRAMOPHONE FOR SCHOOL.
\[BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN COIUIESPONDENT.]
REWETI. Monday,A very enjoyable concert was held in
tho Woodhill Public Hall in aid of pur-chasing a gramophone for the use of theschool children. Mr. R. Hoe was in thechair.
The first part of the programmewas provided by the school children, whoshowed aptitude for the parts allotted tothem, and reflected credit on theirteachers, Mr. Lownsborough and MissesTegan and Pen golly. The second partwas contributed to largely by visitorsfrom Auckland, who were ably assistedby local talent. Special featuros of theevening were the items provided byMessrs. Higgot and Company's HawaiianOrchestra. One, an old action dance tune,known as the "Kauiwhau," so appealedto Mrs. Kooti Rcweti that she gave agraceful exhibition of the ancient Maori" Kopi Kopi " in perfect time and sym-pathy with tho Hawaiian music.
A danco was held after the concert.
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
POWER BOARD'S OPERATIONS.
SATISFACTORY INCREASE.
SIX MONTHS' COMPARISON.
A satisfactory increase in the businessof the Auckland Power Board was re-vealed by the quarterly report submittedto the board yesterday by the chief en-gineer, Mr. R. H. Bartley. Figures forthe half-year ended September 30 werealso submitted.
The report 6tated that the profit forthe half year appeared to be large, butthe figures represented the two winterquarters in which receipts for domesticpurposes were larger than those for thesummer quarters. The expenses comparedfavourably with the estimates and shouldbe further decreased in the comingperiod. The power fund account was ina satisfactory position as shown by thebalance at the bank.
A total.of 5800 consumers had been con-nected during the year ended September30, and the total number of consumersto date was 20,000. ' The cost per unitgenerated and also those sold showed aconsiderable decrease compared with thefigures for the previous period. This waschiefly due to the greater output. Therevenue per unit sold showed a decrease.This was accounted for by the large pro-portion of load sold- for traction purposesand also by the recent reductions madein the domestic supply charges.
The following table shows the opera-tions for the half year ended September30, compared with the similar period ot

HOTGAHUNGA DRAINAGE.
MEETING OF THE BOARD.
[BY TBLBGRATH. OWN CORRESPONDENT.]TE AROHA. Monday.
Reporting to a meeting of the Hunga-hunga Drainage Board on Saturday re-garding the Wairere, settlement drain,ihe -chairman, Mr. W. R. Johnson, saidhe had unofficially heard "the Lands De-partment contemplated putting an outletdrain which would probably connect withthe board's new works at Wear's outlet.He suggested that the board should getin touch with the Lands Department witha view to co-operating in the matter.With regard to the South Waihekau loanho stated that advice had come to handthat the loan was now i available and howas pushing on with the work of prepar-ing'the necessary plans, etc., in readinessfor calling the tenders as soon as thewater levels permitted of the work beingdone. He suggested that the Waihekaumain drain be let in three or four con-tracts and all proceeded with at the sametime. This was the only way they wouldbe able to get through this season. Thereport was adopted.
A protest was received on behalf ofMessrs. R. Burke and M. Kielev againstthe proposal that Johnson's Creek bestopped, on the ground that that wouldprejudicially affect the properties. Thechairman said that there was no inten-tion on the part of the HungahungaBoard to stop the creek, and after hear-ing a report from Mr. Harvey to theeffect that the ratepayers in this localitywho wanted improved drainage would notconsent to a loan, it was decided that theboard make an inspection after the meet-ing.
Mr. F. J. Hickey and five other settlerspetitioned the board to have part of theWaiwero drain deepened from Hickeyand Corne's boundary to Tretheway andCullen's boundary, a distance ofchains. A choque for £50, their contri-bution toward the cost, was enclosed.Tho chairman said the coat would proß-ably be £70 or £80 more than that andthe board could not provide more than£50. Authority vras given to invitotenders within 'the board's limits.
During a discussion on tho state of thefinances, it was pointed out by the clerkthat the rates were not proving suffi-cient for their purposes and that unlessthey were increased the_ board wouldhavo to confine itself strictly to main-tenance work.
JEWS IN PALESTINE.BRIGHT FUTURE PREDICTED.
PROGRESS ALREADY MADE.
NO TROUBLE WITH THE ARABS.
A bright future for the Jews in Pales-tine is predicted by Mr. David A. Brown,a business man of Detroit, Michigan, whoarrived by the Makura yesterday as thefirst stage of a tour of New Zealand andAustralia, in the interests of the WorldZionist movement. He expects to visitother countries, and to reach Palestineearly next year. Mr. Brown was in Pales-tine last year, studying the settlementof the Jews in that country from thesocial, political, and economic angles.He is interested in the political philosophyand development of New Zealand andAustralia, and hopes while on his presenttour to be able to learn from the ex-periments carried out in these countriesmuch that will be of practical use in thonew settlements in Palestine.
" We stand by and with the BalfourDeclaration (which made Palestine a homefor- the Jews and provided that the in-terests of the Arabs should not be inter-fered with), and have accepted it as abasis of our work in Palestine," said Mr.Brown. "There is no trouble betweenthe Arabs and the Jews any more thanthere is between the Christian and theArab. The Jews have come from all partsof the world, bringing with them allkinds of modern farm machinery, and theArab, seeing what is being done in rais-ing crops, is following the example sethim and as a result is becoming a bettercitizen. The only trouble we have hadhas been with small bands of Arabs whohave been aroused by outside Arabs andpolitical groups in the country itself, theaim being to stir the people againstthe Jews."
Mr. Brown spoke of the splendid hos-pitals and clinics provided by the Jewishorganisations, and said that treatment wasfree and there were more Arabs in theclinics than Jews, while the child wel-fare movement was proving greatly tothe benefit of the Arabs. Questioned asto the extent of the productive land andthe possible population in Palestine, Mr.Brown said that his own conservativeestimate placed the area of land in thehands of individuals and the Zionist or-ganisations at possibly one million acres,a quarter of which was perhaps undercultivation. He figured that the countrycould stand a population of approximatelytwo millions, a percentage of whom wouldbe Christians and Arabs, but if the coun-try became an industrial one, the possi-bility of which he could not at presentsee
?that estimate could be increased ma-
terially."It must not be forgotten that the
Jew is the friend of the British Empire,"continued the visitor, " and England musthave a friendly people in Palestine inplace of the Arab. England is in Pales-tine to stay, for with the removal of theEnglish Government'out of Egypt, Pales-tine, by its proximity to Suez, becomesa valuable point."
The richness of the country was spokenof enthusiastically by Mr. Brown, whosaid it grew undoubtedly the finest orangesin the world, and the Jewish settlers wereexporting nuts and olives, tobacco andthe finest wines, while vegetables for theuse_ of the people were grown in pro-fusion. A great improvement had beenmade in the cattle of the country by theintroduction of Jersey and other milkand beef producing strains, the plentifulfood available making profitable dairyingpossible. 6
While generally the primary education?L .v PeoP le was undertaken by theBritish Government, the Jews had' theirown schools, both primary and secondaryand they were now building a universitythat was going to be one of the marvelsof the age. Hebrew was again to" be-come one of the living languages. TheArab was also receiving education, andthe next feneration would have mada astep toward a higher civilisation. TheJews had built the roads and drained thetli. Tl/ 7

RAILWAYS BUSINESS.CHRISTCHURCH SUGGESTIONS
THE OTIRA TUNNEL LINE.
MORE SERVICES WANTED.
[by telegraph.—own SPONDENT. ];. Monday.
The railway commissioners, Sir SamFay and Sir Vincent Raven, receiveddeputations from the Chamber of Com-merce %pd Canterbury Progressive Leaguein regard to the necessity for prefer-ential rates between Christchurch and theWest Coast and other matters. Subse-quently, they travelled through theLyttelton tunnel to get acquainted withthe conditions there.
The statement presented by the Cham-ber of Commerce to the Railway Commis-sion contained, inter alia, the following:—"We realise that the railway system can-not be considered and criticised in thesame way as a private business under-taking merely as a profit-making concern,because it is vitally bound up with thedevelopment of the Dominion. We con-sider, however, that there is such vitalconnection between profit-making andefficient service that the main ultimatetest of whether the public is having thehighest service which its needs demand,and which it will consequently alwayspay for, is the ability to make, profit.Assuming that the usual internal economyand efficiency will be practised in themaintenance, administration and workingof the railways, we consider that the Rail-way Department should adopt- a systemunder which all services rendered at thebidding of Government departments forthe development of unopened country- orfor the subsidy of certain industries, orfor other political reasons, Bhould beassessed and credited to the systems attheir proper cash value by the Govern-ment. In the case of journeys up to 40or 50 miles, where road and railwayfacilities are about equal, the passengerswill usually choose rail. However, therail facilities are usuallyi both too slowand too infrequent, and as a result passen-gers choose the road. If the rail caneconomically give equal facilities to theroad, it can rapidly recover much of thistraffic that has been tost.
"The l rail is losing a tremendous num-ber of*passengers to the road, moreespecially in the winter months, betweenstations on the main line between Christ-church and Dunedin, owing to the inade-quate facilities provided t>y rail. -Thefailure of the rail in spite of urgent repre-sentations from the business community toprovide in the winter-time a throughtrain for Dunedin leaving Christchurchearty on Monday morning is driving in-creasing numbers of passengers from therail to the road. Regarding goods traffic,we urge very strongly that to meet thiscompetition an elastic commercial policyproviding for adjustment of freight ratesin each and every individual section of therailways, to the peculiar and individualcompetitive and economic conditionsapplying to that section, is absolutelyessential. The department should arrangewith private haulage contractors to act assub-contractors at reasonable rates."

The Sawmillers1 Guild urged the reten-;tion of extra rail freights on importedtimbers, also the erection of sidings at4he department's expense, millers payingrentals. It also urged that the earningsof the Otira tunnel should be calculatedas on the whole of the Midland line.

THE ALL BLACKS' TOUR.r MATCH AGAINST NEWPORT.
A POOR DISPLAY GIVEN.
LEICESTER EASILY BEATEN.
ENTHUSIASM OF SPECTATORS.
bv l. stMPSON, of the All Blacks' Party.New Zealand played Newport on Oct-
ober 2, and if ever the All Blacks got ashock they received it in this game. Theyjust won by 13 points to 10. The sixthmatch of the tour was played before an
attendance of 25,000 people, in fineweather and on a holding turf. Through-out the first spell New Zealand were de-fending for all they were worth. Onlytwice did they invade Newport's territory.The home side played magnificentlyand easily held the All Blacks. As theAll Blacks were beaten in the scrums,the backs saw little of the ball. Thehome side's play was easily the best seen
so far on the tour.The New Zealand line was crossed
twice during the game, once in the firsthalf and once in the second. The, firsttry which was converted went to the fine
forward, Friend. As he was the firstplayer to cross New Zealand's line toscore he was loudly cheered. It was abrilbant try as the ball travelled between
seven hands from one side of the field tothe other. This was the only score athalf time, and New Zealand were fivepoints down, and they were extremelylucky it was not more.
On changing over it was expected thatthe All Blacks would change their tactics,but such wais not the case. At times theNew Zealand-passes were given and takenbadly. They were not the team whichbeat Swansea so easily. Although there
were three alterations, it should not havedisorganised them as it did. On occa-
sions they were badly beaten with thedummy pass. The home side played theAll Blacks at their own game and were
■ most successful.The game from the spectators' point
ef view was the best so far. Once thecrowd showed its disapproval by hootingin no uncertain manner T. Jones, ou*
of the Home forwards for fouling Cooke.The latter had to be carried off the field,but returned later.
Flayers' Form Discussed.Nepia, at fullback for New Zealand,
was hot convincing. He was good ontaking the ball on the fu1!, but the bounc-ing ball was often his undoing. His linekicking, however, was often brilliant, and |he was really responsible for New Zea-land's first try. The three-quarter linehad little to do. Brown, at centre, wasvery weak and he missed a few passes,which may have meant tries.Once he received a perfect pass fromCooke with a clear field in front, bat thepass was dropped, and a badly neededscore lost. Steel and Svenson were bothgood, and snowed a lot of pace. The tryof Svenson's was a beauty. He swervednicely, shook .off one player after another,to score the winning, try. Cooke andNicholls played exceptionally <well. OnceCooke had hard luck in not scoring as theball bounced the wrong way. Twicehowever, the opposition beat him with thedummy pass. ' Nicholls was the outstand-ing player on the field. He saved NewZealand'time after time. His defence wasreally brilliant, and he won the game byhis excellent goal kicking. He kickedone penalty and converted two tries. Mill,at half, was fairly His try was aheady-piece of work. New Zealand wereattacking and a scrum was formed nearthe goal-line. The ball was heeled to Mill
. who fooled the opposition to score. Por-ter has played many better games. Heat times hampered the backs by continu-ally, getting among them and playing asan extra back. It came off against Swan-
sea, but dismally failed on this occasion.The forwards played as well as the oppo-sition would let them. They were muchbetter on the line-out than the home side,but they could not get going-
Getting a Good Position.There are no curtain-raisers preceding
the big matches. First-class band musicis provided. There is no padding at thefoot of any of the goal posts, surely aserious omission. The ambulance menwere busy in the game against Newport.Several men spectators fainted. One manhad a bad position, so he pretended" hehad fainted. He wjjs immediately carriedfrom the crowd on to the lawn in front,had some refreshment, was nicely fanned,and sat where he was and got a good viewof the match. McCleary and Badeleyare the only two players who have not hada game so far. Both are enjoying theirholiday.■ New Zealand played Leicester on Octo-ber 4. They won easily by 27 points to 0,before an attendance of 30,000 spectators,thus continuing their unbroken record ofvictories. The weather was again on ex-cellent, behaviour, and the ground was per-fect. From the kick-off the All Blackscommenced to show the spectators thatthe prophets writing in the papers knewas much about them as they know aboutthe man in the moon, for they have beenwriting some ridiculous stuff, which canonly be treated with contempt. The crowdsaw-ior themselves that the All Blacks area good side, although they still need a lotof moulding to be a great team. Thetw0 coaches have dona a lot to improvethem, but a general if; badly needed. In-stead of the score being 27 it should jeasily have been 40, for several brilliant
• movements were ruined by faulty plav,which should never have happened with»n international side. The game wasnot as brilliant or exciting as some whichhave been played. At the same time
; some of the movements were a treat tosee. At times the entire audience roselike a wave to cheer. Ouce when Nepiatook the ball at top speed in his owntwenty-five, eluding several opponents,he ran fully 50yds., and with only thefullback to pass he cross-kicked to Rich-ardson, who had followed up fast. A| ■ try looked a certainty, but that playerfailed to field the ball. Nepia's fine
effort was lpudly cheered; it was the tit-bit of the afternoon.A Much Improved Side.
The All Blacks put plenty of vigourJnto their play, and they were a much,
improved side than when they nearlycame to grief against Newport. Severaloaring runs were made. Sometimes tbey•svculd be defending hard, and suddenlythe ball would be whipped up, and awaythey would go with short, nippy passesto almost the other end of the field. Theplay was electrifying, but, as previouslymentioned, scores were missed throughfaulty handling. During the game thehomo side were within an ace of scoringon three, or four occasions, but the de-fence was too good. They had five inter-nationals playing for them, and it wasgenerally thought that with these playersthe score would have been small and the.game more interesting, but thev wereall outclassed by the All Blacks.*White, who played a remarkably finegame, joined Irvine as hooker when
, Munro retired hurt, and he certainlymade an improvement. He should re-tain the position of hooker, although itJs well known he does not relish it. Ap-parently Masters is a better lock than
, Harvey, as the scrums were well set.Where Harvey excells is in the loose.■Richardson, Cupples and White stood outamong the forwards. Porter playedJnuch better than on Thursday. Lucas"was the best of the threequarfcers, al-though Svenson Mid Steel played well;all scored tries. Ntpia was a great full-Lack.
UNBROKEN SUCCESSES.NEW ZEALANDERS' FORM.
TUSSLE WITH GLOUCESTER.
SOME UNPLEASANT ASPECTS.
BY COLONEL PHILIP TREVOR, C.B.E.LONDON, Oct. 7.
When 1 last wrote the New Zealandershad played their first three matches inEngland, namely, those against Devon,Cornwall and Somerset. They, of course,won them all, and they have now wonfour more—those against Gloucestershire,Swansea, Newport and Leicester.
If you use the word game to describethe tussle with Gloucestershire yourather degrade that word, as all goodsportsmen in New Zealand as well as inEngland use and understand it. It wasnot a nice exhibition that we witnessedou that occasion, and it came perilouslynear being a very nasty one. Theweather was vile and, when and wherea player's good sportsmanship hangs inthe balance, a muddy field is apt to makea muddy mind. I have promised to tryto be frank without being offensive.Candour, therefore, compels me to admitthat unless my eyes deceived me—l thinkI kept them fairly well skinned, by t,he•way—the initial provocation did not comefrom a New Zealander.
Hough Play and Retaliation.Let me here say a word or so in de-
fence of the referee. The referee's mainjob is, and always must be, to follow theball, i It is, therefore, comparatively easyfor him to 'detect rough play. Roughplay is undesirable and is to be con-demned ; but there is such a thing as playwhich is honestly rough—play when moreaheer physkalism is used than is neces-sary to accomplish the object in hand.It is not to that kind of thing that Ihere allude. The mere spectator has theadvantage over the referee in that he canlet his, eyes wander from the ball, andwhat, he sees when he does so is ofteninstructive, if unpleasantly so. Dirtyplay is that which is resorted to whenthe player at whose expense it is ex-ploited is not on the ball with foot, handor body; and, indeed, the further thevictim is from the ball the dirtier it is.
Twice I saw New Zealanders subjected towhat, had the referee observed it, wouldhave led him to utter at least a stern
warning. He did not see it, and whenthe law seems to the injured party un-willing or unable to give him redress, heis (being a mere human being) apt to
take the law into his own hands aud todo his own redressing.
Undoubtedly at Gloucester two or
three New- Zealanders did retaliate. I
was sorry—very sorry—but I was scarcelysurprised. I have good r»ason to knowthat the whole team mean to uphold theprestige of the great game of Rugby foot-ball and the honour of their great coun-try. They have made good friends here
already among (if I may use the expres-sion without taint or snobbery) "thosewho count," and I hope they will keepthem. I will leave it at that. New Zea-land, in this match, were the better side,but neither side played well. Nor wasthat surprising. A rise in temper willalways mean a fall in judgment.
Almost Perfect Performance.Then cam« the match with Swansea.
It was a perfect afternoon, the turf wasperfect and the performance given by the
New Zealand back division after changeof ends as nearly perfect as a perform-ance can be. I am privileged to knowfairly well aome of the elder officials ac-companying the touring side. I sat withthem at Swansea, and prior to the kick-off they tempted me to prophesy. Yield-ing to that temptation, I replied:"Twenty points." "Optimist," said oneof them, politely. We smiled, hut I did
jnot withdraw.At half-time only 10 of those points had
been obtained, but had the play whichproduced those 10 points been more thanordinarily good? To ase the slang of theday: '-'Fair to middling," aptly ex-
pressed it. During the interval I. v,as,of course, asked: 'Whit about those 20points—when are they going to getthem?" ,1 replied: "When they beginto play their own game, instead of doingthe ordinary thing not more than ordin-arily well." The game went on, and ina very few minutes it was clear as day-light to me that the real attack wasbeginning. I bent over to my New Zea-land friend and whispered: "I want toamend." I checked what he was goingto say, and added: "Make it 30 insteadof 20." The final score, of course, was39-3. I do not quote this rather cheapand ordinary conversation by way of lay-ing stress on my own discernment, butrather as showing that there is no tend-ency among the older men accompanyingthese young men to think that theirgeese are sv/ane.
Let me say in a sentence that the dis-play of the New Zealand back division inthe second half of the Swansea matchwas one of the best things of its kind Ihave ever seen. Of course, the Swanseabacks were out-paced. Chiefly were theyout-manoeuvred —out-witted.
After this legitimately encouraging ex-hibition the performance given by thetouring side at Newport -was indeed abitter and an unexpected disappointment.Certainly Newport rank (and justly so) asa rather better side than Swansea. Yetnot one of us expected what we were fatedso see. Finely led by Beg. Edwards, theEnglish international forward, the New-port pack outplayed the New Zealandpack in the tight work for a shade morethan 20 minutes and wisely kept theiropponents to tight work. Incidentally,the Welshman were the better pack allthrough the match. Still, I have main-tained, and still maintain, that in theessential details of tight scrummagingthe New Zealand forwards have stillmuch to learn. On that subject I rhouldlike to say something on a futureoccasion. I was not surprised atthat. What did surprise me was *,hafailure, through, as I think, an erroi oftactics of the New Zealand back divisionto help their beaten forwards'at that tryingperiod. Twenty years ago Adrian Stoopand his famous Harlequin back division,playing in rear of beaten forwards, ofteninstituted bouts of passing in their owntwenty-five, which led to ury-getting.Now Stoop's back division—great generalas he himself was—was not superior ineither pace, initiative, or finesse to Por-ter's back division, who, on this occasion,lacked the moral courage to try to hitback in the one way in which hittingcould have been made effective. Theynearly lost the match in consequence andthe match would have been actually lostby New Zealand but for Svenson's cleverside-stepping at tha eleventh hour.
Undoubtedly, the New Zealanders werea shade lucky at Newport.
The easy victory gained at Leicesterwas as re-assuring to the New Zealandersas the narrow victory at New-port wasi discouraging. For the firsjbtime, then, during the tour the New Zea-land forwards showed that in tightscrummaging they could play a really fineEnglish pack at their own game. Theirbacks had a pretty easy time of it in con-sequence. Leicester have a very fine packand there is not one of us who did notexpect that pack to worry the New Zea-land forwards much as the Newport for-wards worried them.
We were wrong, and the legitimate in-ference is that the New Zealand forwardshave already improved in the one par-ticular of forward play in which theyneed improvement. This means much. Ithink myself that it means everything,for neither in defence nor in attack isthere anything the matter with the NewZealand back division.
NO SCOTTISH MATCH.
ENGLISH UNION'S ATTITUDE.
ENTHUSIASTS INDIGNANT.
(Received 7.5 p.m.)A. and N.Z.—Sun. LONDON. Nov. 8.
The Daily Express states that ScottishRugby enthusiasts are indignant at therefusal of the English Rugby Unionto permit the All Blacks to playa match in Scotland. It is remarkedthat half the visitors are of Scottishdescent, yet they are shut out from play-ing in the land of their fathers.
The Cardiff Club is urging its team togo into strictest training to meet the AllBlacks. The club draws attention to thefact that the All Blacks were invited todinner at Belfast. prior to playing Ire-land, but sent their reserves to thedinner.
j The Star says it is reassuring, if'strange, to learn that leading Rugby en-thusiasts are confident that England will
i beat the All Blacks in January in spitejof the New Zealanders' formidable qual-| ities. England should be able to getforwards sufficiently skilful to dominatethe game, judging by what the packs ofless expert teams have accomplishedagainst the tourists. Furthermore, Eng-lish backs ought to be available whowould be as resourceful in attack as theNew Zealanders.
SWANSEA'S WATERLOO.BRILLIANT FIFTH WIN.
BACKS SHOW THEIR QUALITIES.
FIVE-EIGHTHS' DAZZLING WORK.
(From L. Simpson, of the All Black Party.)"Wait until you meet Swansea" was a
common expression heard from Rugby en-thusiasts. Well, the All Blacks in theirfifth match met and defeated the famousSwansea fifteen by 39 points to 3, on theSt. Helens ground, on September 27.What makes the All Blacks' win moremeritorious is the fact that the- home teamhad been in training during the week.The attendance was 40,000. The groundwas in excellent condition, the weatherhaving for once been kind. The hugeconcourse of people presented a greatspectacle, and when they sang theirnational anthem to the accompanimentof the band, the occasion was made reallythrilling.
The appearance of Porter and his menwas the signal for tumultuous cheering.The All Blacks were given a magnificentreception. Nicholls kicked off for NewZealand against a slight breeze and facingthe sun. Excitement ran high and mattersbecame merry when Nicholls opened NewZealand's account with a beautifuldropped goal. This occurred 22 minutesfrom the commencement of the game.From then on the All Blacks had thegame well in hand, and never looked likelosing. The score would have been lergerhad the handling been better, but the pacewas so terrific that it was almost impos-sible to gather in all the passes.
There was really no outstanding playerin the home side. Like the other teamsmet they seemed to have no faith in theirbacks, for when they obtained the ballthey invariably found touch. The for-wards played well. Where they did excelwas in their beautiful line-kicking.
The All Black backs for the first time,thanks to the coaching of M. Nichollsand C. Badeley, gave a taste of what theycould do. Their plav was brilliant andspectacular, the crowd cheering the manybrilliant passing bouts to the echo. En-thusiasts say that never was such footballseen in Swansea.
Nepia gave a fair exhibition at full-back. Once or twice he mis-fielded theball, and he was responsible for the pen-alty goal—the first points scored againstNew Zealand. He hung on to the balltoo long in order to save a possible try.He took the risk of getting away with it,but the referee saw it, and so the penaltywas awarded. Dai Parker kicked a splen-did goal.
The threequarter line was fair. Brownseemed a little nervous at the start, butsoon gained confidonce. His two trieswere beauties. Those by Lucas (1) andSteel (3) were excellent. Steel on on*occasion threw himself across the line toscore a great try.
The play of Cooke and Nicholls wasdazzling. Their superb handling was a-feature of the game. Cooke played mostunselfishly. On more than one occasionhe could have scored, but he sent outsplendid passes, which accounted for scoresby others. His try was one of the best,the result of a tricky run. It would havebeen a pity if he had not scored at leastonce.
Again Dalley excelled at half. He is asecond Fred. Roberts and a tiger for work.He gave a finished display.
The forwards were never seen to betteradvantage. The going suited them. Theypassed like backs, and their speed was attimes tremendous. Porter was a greatleader and the brains of the team. He wasbrilliant in all departments of the game.The seven forwards, West, White, Donald,Irving, Harvey and the two Brownlies,wore in splendid form, and their greatrushes and excellent play were often ap-plauded. The game was fought in excel-lent spirit.
COST OF LIVING LOWER.PRICES OF ALL GROUPS.
FOUR SHOW REDUCTION.
RENT STILL INCREASING.
A slight contraction of the cost of liv-ing, as measured by retail prices of "allgroups"—food, rent, fuel and light, cloth-ing and footwear, and miscellaneous—isshown by the Government Statistician'scompilation of prices in August. The high-est level was reached at the beginning of1921 when the all-groups index numbershowed an increase of 85.5 per cent, overJuly, 1914. Successive enumerations re-corded a progressive decline until theFebruary, 1923, figure represented an in-crease over the pre-war level of 57.1 percent. Increases to 53.4 per cent. inAugsut, 1923, and 62.1 per cent, in Feb-ruary, 1924, followed. The latest calcu-lation shows an increase of 60.2 per cent.over pre-war level.
A summary of half-yearly computationsshows that all prices have not advancedequally. Food prices were highest inFebruary, 1921, and hav« since fallento the same level as in August, 1919. Therent index number has continuously ad-vanced. The cost of fuel and light wasat its peak in August, 1921;it has since fallen to about thelevel of the end of 1920. Cloth-ing, drapery and footwear were dearestin August, 1920, and are now at thelevel of the end of 1917. Miscellaneousitems were at their peak in February,1921; thev also show an unbroken fallto the level of the. end of 1918. The fol-lowing table shows the "peak prices" ofthe various groups, and the position ayear ago and last August, the movementsbeing shown as centesimal increases onthe corresponding price levels of July,1914:—
" Peak." 1923. 1924,Food , 75.1 48.0 46.8Kent 81.6 49.8 61.6Fuel and lisht . . . 98.2 73.0 73.9Clothing, drapery and
footwear .. .. 154.8 77.8 68.7Miscellaneous . . . 142.5 86.1 79.9
All groups . .. 86.5 68.4 60.2Comparing the position in August with
that in February, the Government Statis-tician says that food prices have fallenduring the six months by 1.55 per cent.;fuel and light by 4.72 per cent.; cloth-ing, drapery and footwear by 2.65 percent.; and miscellaneous bv 3.59 per cent.Rent Has increased rapidly during thelast four or five half-year periods; theincrease in the last six months has been3.39 per cent. The net fall vnr allgroups is 1.17 per cent.
The latest index number indicates thatthe " cost of living " generally is lowerto the extent of 13.64 per cent, than itwas in February, 1921.
REPAIRS TO A MOTOR-CAR.
QUESTION OF LIABILITY.
Repair work to a motor-car formedthe basis of a claim for £131 made inthe Magistrate's Court yesterday beforeMr. F. K. Hunt, S.M. Gillett Motors.Limited (Mr. Nutsford) sought to re-cover the money from Richard Davis(Mr. Goldstine), alleged to be moneyowing for work done. It was stated thatthe summons was against two parties.Davis and Fielder, but Fielder had confessed, while Davis defended the action.
The evidence was that the work to thecar was done when Davis told plaintiffsto go ahead with the work, and he wouldpay for it. Davis had paid £100 on ac-count.
For the defence, it was stated thatplaintiffs were told that Davis was merelyadvancing the £100 to Fielder. Davishad also said he was in no way respon-sible.
The magistrate remarked that Fielderhad been debited with the account allthrough. Plaintiff was non-suited, andcosts were allowed defendant.
WOMAN'S FATAL FALL.PATIENT IN A HOSPITAL.
DROP OVER A BALCONY.
POSSIBILITY OF ACCIDENT.
[BY TEIiEQEAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.]CHHISTCHHRCH, Monday.
Was death due to suicide or accident ?
JDid it happen when she was conscious orwhen she was asleep? These were ques-tions which baffled the coroner and super-intending doctor of the Christchurch Hos-pital to-day at the inquest into the deathof Ada Emilv Line, a widow aged 45years, of Sydenham, who fell from a bal-cony at the hospital on Friday night. Lifewas extinct when she was picked up.
At about 10.30 p.m. the woman wasnoticed to walk out of the ward after thenight nurse had passed through, climbon to" the rail of the balcony and eithermiss her hold or deliberately jump over.She had been admitted to the hospitalon November 3 suffering from an enlargedthyroid gland and she was to have beendischarged on the following day.
The evidence at the inquest . to-dayshowed no mental abnormality on herpart and medical men said it was possibleshe had done the act in a nightmare.
The coroner, Mr. Widdowson, said thereremained a doubt as to whether thewoman had committed suicide or -whethershe had accidentally fallen over the bal-cony in her sleep. Whenever there was adonbt it was always given agsinst suicide.He returned a verdict that the cause ofdeath was due to injuries received from afall from a balcony at the hospital, butthere was not sufficient evidence to showwhether the fall was accidental or other-wise.

THE WORLDS MAIL BAG.AUCKLAND'S CONTRIBUTION.
UNEXPECTED DESTINATIONS.
LETTERS FOR REMOTE QUARTERS
A little insight into the complexity ofthe world's postal system was gained in Ithe course of a local inquiry as to whyoversea mails are at present closingslightly earlier. It was ascertained thatstatistics to form the basis for calculatingthe amounts payable as transit charges bycountries of the Postal Union to eachother are being taken. This involves muchextra work, which necessitates the time ofclosing mails being put a little forward.The statistical period which commenced on .
October 15 will close to-day. The statis-tics are taken every three years.
The taking of the statistics involves,inter alia, a count of what is termed adecouvert correspondence, French beingthe language of the union. It applies tocorrespondence originating in any countrythat requires to be included in a mail fora country other than a country of destina-tion. For instance, if a letter for Switzer-land is sent by the New Zealand PostOffice, it goes to London, and it is in-cluded in the present count. The PostalUnion Convention provides that thecharges for the transit of mails to theirdestination are paid by the country oforigin, and, further, each country in theunion is bound to transmit by the mostrapid routes it itself uses mails received,by it from another country for onwarddespatch.
Perfect System of 00-operation.It is an almost perfect system of co-
operation, which in itself helps to markthe advance of civilisation. It is a matterabout which the average person thinkslittle. The ease with which he may posta letter, the cheapness of the fee, and thecertainty he has that it wiH reach itsdestination all tend to make him take thepostal system as a matter of course. To-day a man in Auckland may post a letterfor some remote village in the Andes. Inaddition to steamers and trains, it may inits journey travel by motor-car, stagehorse coach and mule-pack train. Ofcourse, transport has to be paid for; hencethe present count, which obviously de-mands a very complete knowledge of theterritories of the various nations through-out the world. What the check must in-volve in such a great postal clearing-housette London can only be conjectured. InAuckland, so remote from the great worldcentres, the work is considerable.
Although New Zealand is so small a conn-try and has an almost insignificant alienpopulation, it appears to have correspon-dence for every corner of the earth. Inthe course of a week there may be lettersfor Iceland and Peru, for Jerusalem andthe Faroe Islands, a tiny possession ofDenmark lying north of the- Shetlands.Letters sometimes are seen for such re-mote places as the island of Tristan DaCunha, Portuguese West Africa, theAzores, the Maldive Islands off the coastof India, the island of Wake in the NorthPacific or Nome. What are the connect-
!ing links? Have New Zealanders spreadthemselves over the face of the earth, ordoes it merely illustrate how families ofall nations scatter? Those who see thesame faces in the same streets every dayfor years and years probably forget the
' the odd man with some special knowledgehis own country does not want or theman with the wanderlust who quietly de-parts for far horizons. They may also for-get that there are numbers of residentswho having counted the milestones foryears settle here or pause awhile in theirwanderings. No doubt such people con-tribute largely to our overseas mail bags.
Range of Destinations.The wide range of destinations makes
one curious. Why should a man in, say,Devonport, write to a man in Trinidad ?
Did they play and fight and love oneanother in the days of their boyhood, andhave they kept in touch from widelydivergent trails ? Why should someone atMount Albert write to Dutch New Guineaand what are the ties which a letterfrom Franktou to Crete represents ? Thereis a touch of romance about the work ofof the C.P.O. and the officials would beless than human if they did not develop
a sense of personal responsibility to thesenders of foreign mail. How could aman handle such correspondence as a shop-man handles tea ? One has no doubtthat they come to regard letters, particu-larly to distant lands, as sacred as thethe human affection they mean.It is easy to picture a lonely settler,
who waits and waits for mail day. Theseletters so nimbly tossed into bags cannotbe regarded as so much paper and ink.They may be the embodiment of love; theymay be messengers of destiny. .Thismonth they are the subject of statisticsand the compiling of statistics may beirksome. But that surely could not pre-vent the mail sorter smiling kindly whenhe sees a "fat" letter in a familiar roundhand addressed to a man at a familiaraddress in very foreign parts. No doubtit is her Christmas letter to the lad wholoves her, but simply had to submit tothe urge to follow the long trail. Onoof these days he will come sailing homeand be very glad to settle down. For thepresent, however, he simply must stretchhis wings on a long flight and the littlelady must give what happiness she can,by means of His Majesty's mails.
A WARDER'S DUTY.THE DEATH OF CHRISTIE.
DELAY IN THE SHOOTING.
PRISONER GIVEN EVERY CHANCE.
An inquiry into the circumstances snr-! rounding the fatal attempt of the youngprisoner, Joseph Thomas Christie, toescape from Mount Eden prison on Fridaywas held yesterday before Mr. F. K.Hunt, S-M. The coroner found that thewarder who shot at Christie had done hisduty in a proper mannor. Mr. A. Moodyappeared for Superintendent Vincent a;idWarder Watt, and Sergeant Macalisterfor the police. A brother-in-law of Chris-tie was also present.
Christie, who was born at Kaiapoi. hadan operation for meningitis when a boyof 13 years, and his career in crime com-menced early. He was serving a sent-ence of IS years for breaking and onter-.ing, and had been declared an habitualcriminal.
Charles Edward §pittal, chief wardersaid that Christie was regarded as a verydangerous criminal, and had to be speci-ally watched. After the alarm of escapehad been given he went outside the walland found Christie lying face downwards.He sent for a stretcher and Christie wascarried into the prison, where he was im-mediately attended to by Dr. Tewsiey.The sentry who fired the shot. WarderWatt, had let Christie go until the lastmoment. If Christie had got round thecorner of the wall 'there would have beennothing to stop him. E&ch cartridge con-tained about 12 pellets,
j James Hugh Lloyd, a warder, who was.on duty in charge of the stone yard, saidhe had just left Christie at about 4.15|>.m. when he heard a sentry cry out,' What's that man doing!" Witness ar.
once gave the alarm. By this timeChristie was half-way np the wall, and
, when ho got to the top witness heardWarder Watt call out, "Stop, Christie."Christie dropped over the wall, and Watt
' >S?^e<* out to n"n severa l times to stop., I Then witness heard thff report.i Statement by Warder.i John Arthur Watt said he was a tem-porary warder at the prison, and had.been employed by the Prisons Depart-
ment since May of this year. On Friday.i while on sentry duty on the hill post, hoi heard Warder Lloyd call out from thestone yard. He looked round and saw, Christie on the top of the wall."I called to him to ston at the same
> tune loading my rifle. He jumped to- the ground and stood perhaps for two or
( three seconds. I then had the rifle aimedat him. He then made a rush into s-.melong grass, and I had to climb out en- to the rail to see him, and then I-jouid, only see his head. I refrained from firing,t since I knew he would have to come intothe open. While he was there, I said,i Come back, Christie or else I will fire *
He replied, 'All right, I'm done.' He. made no attempt to come back, and Icalled out to him again. Then he madea dash for the corner of the wall. I
- levelled my rifle at the corner and tiredi for his feet. I was standing over him.} and as a result of the shot he fell f«r-ward. I could not see him after he fell.* Had I not fired then there would havef been nothing to stop him."
A relative of Christie, who was presentw said that Christie sometimes suffered fromdeafness, and might not have heard thea call.
e' The warder replied that Christie mustt have heard the call, as he stopped.
Armed Guards Necessary,Thomas Vincent, prison superintendent,said that the most dangerous criminalswere kept in the stone yard. He was very
pleased with the steadiness of Watt'swork. They could never keep the prison-ers in without armed warders. He hadnever heard any suggestion of Christiebeing deaf.
Donate Neman Watson Murray, prison3urgeon, said he saw Christie at 6.45 p.m.in his own cell. He examined the band-ages to see there was no haemorrhage. At3 p.m., Christie was quite comfortable,except for a pain behind the knee. At11.30p.m., witness was called to the gaol,as Christie complained that he felt as ifsomething bad given way. On examina-tion, witness felt a slight resistance inthe abdominal' wall which was not thereat 7 p.m. Witness sent for the hospitalambulance as he was suspicious of hae-morrhage or peritonitis starting. Hewent with Christie to the hospital. Hesaw him again next morning when he wasdying. The post-mortem examinationsnowed that the bullet had ricochettedfrom the pelvic bone and become embed-ded internally.
The Coroner's Comments.Reginald George Dudding, house sur-
geon at the Auckland Hospital, gave evi-dence of the injuries. An operation wasperformed, but owing to old inflammation,the injured parts could, not be localised.Christie's condition became lower untildeath occurred, j The cause of death wasinternal haemorrhage caused by gunshot
j wounds.I The coroner said the cause of death washaemorrhage following the wounds. Hefound that Christie, while a prisoner,attempted to escape. Warder Watt calledon him several tunes to stop and thenfired, as was his duty. -The evidencesatisfied him that Watt did his duty in a
proper manner, refraining from shootinguntil the last possible moment "whenChristie was at the corner of the wall,after which point he would have been outof the sentry's sight.
A SERIOUS CHARGE.
MAN PLEADS NOT GUILTY.
The criminal sessions of the AucklandSupreme Court was continued, beforeMr. Justice Herdman, yesterday. Mr.V. R. Meredith appeared for the Crown.
A plea of "not guilty" was entered byFrederick Shortland (Mr. Vallance) to acharge of rape. On the suggestion ofthe Crown solicitor, His Honor orderedthe Court to be cleared.
Mr. Meredith said that accused andthe girl concerned had been keeping com-pany for about two years, and had prac-tically come to an arrangement to getmarried. The girl, however, broke offthe engagement. Accused had beenworking in Whangarei, but came toAuckland, and called at the house wherethe girl lived. She told him she did notwant to have anything more to do withhim. Accused persuaded her to go for a
walk with him, and it was then thealleged offence took place. The girl, wnowas highly respectable, was somewhat-delicate" and highly strung.
Evidence was given by the girl, and,in cross-examination, Mr. Vallancequoted from a number of lore letterswritten by the girl to accused.
Accused, in evidence?, gave a long ac-count of his association with the girl, andalleged the offence took place with herconsent. • ...-.,
The trial was adjourned until to-day.

PROMISE OF BETTER TIMES.
NEW ZEALANDER'S IMPRESSIONS.
Trade, industrial and political condi-tions in North America and Great Brit-
-ain now hold promise of a steady move-ment toward sound prosperity. That wasthe salient impression left with Mr. A.Rowlands, who recounted to the Auck-land Rotary Club yesterday his observa-tions in these countries during a recentvisit on which, incidentally, he was a
delegate to the R,otary Convention at To-ronto. The scheduled subject of his in-teresting narrative was "Business Abroad,from a Now Zealander's Point of View,"but fie took tho liberty "to go beyondthis order of reference," and thus hadfreedom to talk of many things.
As one who bad travelled far and fast,Mr. Rowlands explained that his impres-t-ions of conditions overseas on both sidesof tho Atlantic and also along the PacificSlope necessarily must be often those thatare gained in "passing vivid scenes andarresting incidents. But the outstandingimpression of his extensive tour was thewide range of evidence in the UnitedStates, in Canada and in Britain that theworst of the depression which had grippedthese countries after the war had beendispersed to a marked extent and thateverywhere thought and industry, withmany sharp lessons learnt and rememberedwere concentrating constructively on effi-ciency,progress, and a steadier prosperity.Even on board the Niagara, while cross-ing the Pacific, there was evidence of agreat wool season in Australia, therebeing a number of Australian pastoralists" going Home" to spend their money.
• Honolulu was as charming and as inter-esting as ever, though it, too, had ex-perienced depression. But there, also.
■ conditions were changing rapidly for thebetter. The speaker had passed that waypreviously, in 1913 and again in 1919.and the'scope for comparison was verynoticeable. It was obvious, however,that the immigration problem there hadnot yet been solved. There Avere featuresof the community which made it appearmore like the Orient than Hawaii. Ithad seemed to him that Hawaii would intime go out of cattle-raising altogether,devoting the land to pineapple and sugarcane production whenever sufficient labourwas available. If this should come aboutthere would be opportunity for New Zea-land and Australia to supply the marketwith meat and dairy produce. Referencewas also made to the great developmentof Pearl Harbour as a naval base for theUnited States in the Pacific.
Optimism in Canada.The Dominion of Canada, said Mr.
Rowlands', had hid very much the sameexperience as New Zealand during thelast few years. There had been in turn aland boom and a slump in the prices forprimary products. That period of depres-sion appeared to have passed. The wheatmarket had recovered and right through-out the Dominion, from East to West,there was a great feeling of optimism.
The C.P-R. Company still led enter-prise in- respect of railway developmentand business organisation, and much re-construction work had been done and wasin hand. Grades had been eased, flewtunnels had been pierced through the Sel-kirks, and freights had been reduced.Grain elevators were arising all along theline across the prairies, and wheat wasnow pourinci east and west. While it wastrue that Canada, looked first across theAtlantic to Britain and southward to theUnited States for the bulk of her trade,she was looking mors'and more to theselands in the South Pacific, End his impres-sion was that substantial business would bedeveloped between Canada and New Zea-land. He found the Canrdians were takinga keen interest in this Dominion and inAustralia.
The Land of Loud Speakers.Impressions of the United States passed
as a kaleidoscope of-continuous industryfor 24 hours esch working, day, immensefortunes in chewing gum, and huge
placards and radio loud speakers demand-ing that attention be then given to thepolicy of the Democratic Convention. TheAmericans, however, were getting overtheir post-war difficult times and werealert with enterprise. A feature of lifeand leisure was the facility provided fortouring on good roads. He had beenassured by Mrs. Rowlands that the greatdepartment stores in the cities of theUnited States were much more attractivein range of goods and display than theshops in London.
Improvement in Britain."It was with great pleasure," con-
tinued Mr. Rowlands, "I found Britainhad made a wonderful improvement since1919." The unemployment problem wasmuch Jess dejefradintt then it had been for-merly in some respects, and the positiongenerally • had improved. Industrialpeopie wer<r looking forward with optim-ism to tho immediate future. London wasexceptionally busy, although dull tradeconditions had been very noticeable inLiverpool, Manchester and Glasgow. Whatimpressed him most in these cities, how-ever, was the courageous manner in whichthe peoplfj were grappling with difficul-ties and striving to regain prosperous con-ditions. As Sir George Paish had saidin Glasgow: "We are in sight of thegreatest trade expansion the world hasever saen." The note of the day wasoptimistic.
The Rotary Club's luncheon was pre-sided over by the vice-president, Mr. J.F. Ewen. Two excellent violin solos werecontributed by Mr. Haydn .Murray.

A report by the chief engineer on thecoal supply for the Christmas holidaysrecommended an increase in the supplyof Waikato by 500 tons weekly to con-serve stocks. The recommendation wasadopted.
Following a brief discussion on thepolicy of reticulation it was decided thata committee visit certain districts witha view to considering the leticulationscheme. The date for the inspection wasfixed for November 19.
A report on street lighting -was sub-mitted by the chief engineer, Mr. R.H. Bar.tley. He stated that the layingof underground cables in Eden Terrace,the third section of the city street light-ing scheme, had been finished, ready forthe erection of the fittings. The HemeBay section cable had been laid to the
\ foot of College Hill, a distance of 2600' yards, from the tram terminus. Verylittle remained to complete this section.In the Great North Road eleven fittingshad been completed this week, making 15erected. He hoped to make this sectionalive about Wednesday. Poles and fittings had been erected in the Domainand underground cable laid. This com-pleted the second portion of the city parklighting scheme.
In Mount Eden, continued the report,everything was in readiness for the erec-tion of the cables and fittings in thefollowing streets:—View Road, PointStreet, Bellevue Road, Victoria Road,Charlton Road, Leamington Road, Es-planade Road, Prospect Rise, SherbourneRoad, lower end of Valley Road, CanadaStreet, Islington Avenue.
The report of the chief engineer onmains extensions stated that ninety-twooverhead services had been connected dur-ing the week.

It was expected thatthis area would be made alive this week.The underground cable across the mainroad at Avondale had been connected tothe overhead line and all was in readi-ness to make this alive.
A communication from the manager ofthe Tramways Department, Mr. A. E.
Ford, showing the estimated number ofunits charged in excess to the depart-ment from April 1 to September 30, andrequesting that a credit be passed forthe excess charged was considered. Acommittee, consisting of the chairman,Messrs. S. J. Harbutt, E. J. Potter, andH. Goldie, was appointed to interview theTramways management and arrange thematter.
FORD ECONOMY CARS.
J. W. ANDREW'S DISPLAY.
One of the finest displays of Ford vehi-cles yet given in Auckland was linedup by tRe well-known Ford dealers,Messrs. John W. Andrews and Sons, inPrinces Street shortly after mid-day yes-terday. The cars started out in proces-sion through the principal streets of thecity, travelling by way of Queen Streetto Karangahape Road, Ponsonby, SymondsStreet, Newmarket, Epsom and One-hunga, returning via Dominion Eoad. Thetwenty-two vehicles which took part inthe procession made a most imposing dis-play which attracted the attention ofthousands of Aucklanders;. " It consistedof sedans, coupes, touring and runaboutcars, painted in different colours, half-ton and ton commercial trucks and vans.There was also a Fordson tractor haulinga two-yard tip trailer, and last, but byno means least, Andrews' service truck.As a demonstration in the efficient wayin which Mr. Andrews attends to theservice end of the business, this truckwas equipped with a crane, from whichthe rear end of a car was suspended andtowed backwards on its front wheels,showing the ease with which a disabledcar can be brought in to the Andrewsservice deprt in Eden Terrace.
The procession was arranged for a dualpurpose, to show to tho officials of theFord company who were passing throughAuckland.by the Makura that Auckland—and particularly John Andrews and Sons—.are not lacking in pushing along the Fordbusiness. The procession was also animportant feature of the special FordEconomy Month which is being heldthroughout the Dominion, it being the.idea of tiio company that every sales-man should preach the great economy ofFord vehicles. This includes economy ininitial outlay, economy in operation, fuel,tyres, and service economy in deprecia-tion." The Ford is weli named the Univer-
sal Car," remarked Mr. Andrews in thecourse of an interview yesterday after-noon, "and I assure you we can put for-ward some wonderfully convincing argu-ments in favour of our Ford cars!"
Motorists and others will be interestedto know that Andrews and Sons haveturned their Eden Terrace garage into nmotor Olympia, and have decorated it inlavish style. It will be open every even-ing this week, giving every opportunityfor an inspection of the splendid assort-ment of vehicles it contains. A visit tothis well-known garage will also havoeducational value this week, for Mr.Andrews will give short lectures on thesubject of Ford economy. One point-towhich the company is giving special at-tention is a demonstration of the fineequipment at the garage for Ford repairwork. The company has imported the mostup-to-date and efficient plant in New Zea-land, and every class of work can behandled expeditiously by efficient work-men.
As showing the nature of the Andrews-Ford enterprise, it may be mentionedthat, plans have been prepared for a finenew garage and showroom on the EdenTerrace site. The showroom will bo asplendid building, with' a 94ft. frontageto New North Road, and six large plate-glass windows. The. floor spaec of theshowroom will be 7000 ft. There willalso be a basement' of similar dimensionsfor storage of new cars. Added to thepresent floor spaco, this will give the An-drews garage and showroom a total floorspace of no less than 23,000ft., making itone of the finest and largest establish-ments of the kind in Auckland.—Advt.
TROW, LIMITED.STORY OF fTS FLOTATION.
RUSSIAN AS PROMOTER.
NO ACTUAL CAPITAL.
Further details in connection withTholo,, Limited, a company which, afternine months' trading, went into liquida-tion' with liabilities amounting to over£14,000, and assets insufficient to repay£1000 to a debenture holder, were givenat an adjourned meeting of creditors heldat'the official assignee's office yesterday.
The assignee reported that the booksof the company had been handed to himby the accountant, who had held themunder a lien for services rendered. Thobooks seemed to be in order, the greaterpart of the money paid out having beenfor salaries and running expenses.
Having no funds in hand, the assigneecontinued, he had not been able to pro-cure a considered opinion from the Crownsolicitor concerning the rights of Mr. J.D. Williamson, a debenture holder, whohad been given a floating debenture overall the assets of the company for £6000,but legal opinion from another quarterwas that the debenture was good asagainst the creditors in the estate.
The bank passbooks showed a curiouscondition of affairs, continued Mr. Fisher.Various small sums had been paid in tothe company's account between July andDecember of 1923, but the company wasworking on a bank overdraft, and not onthis account.
A detailed account of his connectionwith the company was given by VladimirEugene Pisarenko, one of the three part-ners in Tholo, Limited, who statedthat he came to New Zealand from Rus-sia in 1909, and after spending a yearor two studying conditions in the coun-try, was commissioned by a syndicate tosecure commercial agencies in the East.The syndicate was later formed into acompany, of which Pisarenko was man-ager. This company went into liquidationshortly before the war. Anothercompany was formed on the same lines afew years later, witness being engagedas a traveller. This company, also wentinto liquidation.
Third Company Formed.In 1923, continued Pisarenko, he met
Mr. E. H. Hardy, and entered into ascheme for the importation of Oregon pine,Mr. Hardy providing the cash. Theseinitial importations resulted in profit, andit was decided to extend operations toNew Zealand timbers, for which purposeTholo, Limited, was formed, Mrs. Jen-sen being the third partner.
Each of the three partners received£1000 worth of paid-up shares. Exam-ined closely by the assignee as to thevalue of the service, he gave in return forthese shares, Pisarenko stated that hewas a timber expert, having studied for-estry in America, Russia, and Japan.The £1000 was not meant to representexactly the monetary value of each part-ner's services, however, but to indicatethat all three were on the same footingin the company, with a mutual interest.When Tholo, Limited, was registered inJuly, 1923, there was no actual capitalin it.
The Assignee: And did you think youwere quite justified in starting this com-pany without, any capital whatever ? Doyou not think that there might have beena suggestion that the company was abogus one, inasmuch as it appeared tobe capitalised to the extent of £3000,whereas there was no cash in it at all ?
Difference of Viewpoint.Pisarenko said he did not think the
matter could be viewed in this light, asthe company held valuable agencies, andprovision was made for an overdraft byone of the partners. He admitted thatthe bulk of the plant had not been' paidfor when the debenture was given in De-cember, but thought that having securedverv good orders, with the hope of consid-erable profits, it was all right to give thedebenture. He did not consider the com-pany was badly in debt, as they ex-pected, within a few months' time, to beable to pay off all they owed and show, agood profit. As against this debenture,the companv had mills and bush optionsestimated to be worth about £20,000. Headmitted that this estimate representedthe company's point of view rather thanthat of creditors.
Mr. Fisher: Do you really mean to sayyou thought there was the slightest pros-pect of those assets realising £20,000 ?
Witness: It was a reasonable figure, inview of the prospective value of the assets.But now, from the viewpoint of differentcircumstances, they are probably worthnothing.
The assignee expressed a strong convic-tion that so long as witness could get themoney, he did not care particularly whereit came from. The company's dealingshad been unpractical from the start. • Ithad worked on a guarantee given by onepartner to Mr. Williamson, who in turnhad guaranteed the bank.
Question of Further Proceedings.Insisting that the case was one which
should be placed before the Crown prose-cutor, a creditor who undertook a millingcontract with disastrous results, said itwas very hard that a company with noproper financial backing should be ableto pile up an indebtedness amounting to£14,000, practically ruin a number ofcreditors, and than "get away with it."
"You must remember you have beendealing with three optimists," repliedMr. Fisher. "They have all three shownthemselves to be thoroughly impractical."The assignee explained that as thecompany was in liquidation he had noauthority to institute a prosecution as inan ordinary bankruptcy case, and couldonly take such action provided he wereindemnified,
The creditor mentioned held to his pointand after considerable discussion, it wasdecided that tho official liquidator shouldbe directed to take proceedings against thetwo male directors of tho company,Messrs. Pisarenko and Hardy, providedthis could bo done without expense tothe creditors.

ATHLETIC SPORTS.CRICKET.
THE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
WICKETS IN GOOD ORDER.
Tho club championship cricket com-petitions were continued under excellentconditions on Saturday, the wickets andoutfields generally showing marked im-provement compared with the openingday. •
The best team scores in the threesenior matches under tho Auckland Asso-ciation were compiled by Parnell (249)and Ponsonby (211 for five wickets), whomet at King's College, Middlemore.There is no doubt these teams had theadvantage over the others as far as theground was concerned. That it was abatsmen's wicket on Saturday is shownby the fact that Parnell put on nearly90 runs for their last three wickets.
Parnell's total of 249 included severalgood individual scores. Somervell andR Badeley headed the list with 54 runseach, and then came the two formerEden ptayers, Irving and Harvie, with45 and 40 respectively. The last twomembers of the team should do good ser-vice for Parnell this season. Thehonours were fairly evenly distributedamong the Ponsonby bowlers, Smith,with four wickets for 80 runs, and Sned-don, with three for 70, being the mostsuccessful.
Ponsonby's Good Display.Ponsonby gave a good display at the
wickets, and were somewhat unlucky inhaving t0 be content with a draw. Eachof the seven batsmen reached doublefigures, and the last half hour of playsaw 60 runs put on. This, however, leftPonsonby still 38 behind Parnell's total.Smith, who played a sound innings,headed the individual scores with 46,but Taylor gave a vigorous display for43 not out. He and McLeod (23 notout) were associated in knocking up 60rung in the last half hour. Sneddon,who scored freely, had 42 to his creditbefore he was well caught by Somervell.He had previously given a couple of dif-ficult chances. The wicket was againstthe bowlers, the most effective of whomwas Anthonv, who took two wickets for48.
North Shore had a substantial firstinnings victory over Grafton on theDevonport ground. The home team'slast three wickets produced only 12runs,and more than half of the total scorewas secured by the North Shore captain,C. Dacre, who played a fine innings for87. This was better than the Graftoneleven's first effort, for they were dis-missed for 82, Allcott (37) and Snedden(20) being the only players to reachdouble figures.
The most successful Grafton bowlerswere Allcott, who took four wickets for51 runs, and Wilson, three for 28.
Some Good Bowling Averages.Townsend was mainly responsible for
Grafton's very moderate total in thefirst innings, for he accounted for fourwickets for the low cost of nine runs.Coates also had a pood average, takingthree for 18. In their second inningsthe home team declared with 63 for nowickets. Frater, who on a useful 28in his first effort, then had 41 to hiscredit.
It was generally considered thatUniversity, with 114 runs for fourwickets, would put on a good scoreagainst Eden, who were all out for 124in the first innings, but University wereaccounted for at the cost of only 41 addi-tional runs. Blair brought about thedownfall of the majority of the batsmenon Saturday, his tally of four wickets foreight runs being the best performanceof the day. Strachan, Eden's new fastbowler, kept the batsmen quiet and tookone wicket, but was somewhat unsteadyin his deliveries. University's first fivebatsmen reached double figures, but noneof the others had a chance to get set.
A Vigorous Partnership.Eden did not make a very good start
in the second innings, the first wicketbeing down for 10 runs. However, whenH. Gillespie and Blair became associatedthey soon got the. measure of tho bowl-ing, and, scoring freely, brought" 100 upafter 80 minutes' play. Both scored over50 by sound, vigorous batting. Blair wasthe first to go, playing the ball on to hiswicket when he reached;.'s7. Gillespiewas 51 not out when Eden declared with152 for three wickets. Saunders, who
was University's most successful bowleron the first day, was not suited by thecondition of the wicket and proved ex-pensive, Blair knocking up 19 off one ofhis overs. Player and Goodwin kept thebatsmen quiet for a time, and eachsecured a wicket.
University did not seriously attemptthe task of getting 184 runs in an hourrequired for a three-point win, andthough Eden made a great effort to pullthe game out of the fire they could notsucceed, time being called when Uni-versity had lost five wickets for 68 runs,Kelly (30 not out) and Saunders (17)being the only players who had reacheddouble figures.

THE SUBURBAN ASSOCIATION.
Y.M.C.A. 'S NARROW VICTORY.
One of the closest senior matches underthe Suburban Association was that be-tween Y.M.C.A. and Manurewa on. thelatter club's ground. On the first dayY.M.C.A. were all out for the moderatescore of 95, while the home team hadput on 118 for the loss of four wickets.Manurewa's prospects of gaining a winwere very bright, but when the game wasresumed on Saturday the remainingwickets fell for 40 runs. In the secondinnings Y.M.C.A. compiled 160 runs,which left the suburban team 97 to getfor a three-point win. However, the bowl-ing of Otter and Stallworthy made thistusk impossible, and Manurewa were dismissed for-82 runs. This gave Y.M.C.A.a three-point win by the narrow marginof 15 runs. Stallworthy's tally was sixwickets for 43, while Otter took four for39. Miller notched the top score inY.M.C.A.'s second innings, putting on avery useful 43 before being bowled bvWhite. Yates was tho next highest with30. The three Manurewa batsmen to reachdouble figures in the second innings wereTaplin (20), Kneebone (32) and W Peebles(10).
Harbour Board had a very easy victoryover Ellerslie, mainly owing to the gnsaifirst-wicket score of 215 on the first day.Ellorslie scored only 85 in their first in-nings, but made a much better showingin their second effort, which closed for148. More than half the total resultedfrom the good stand made by Wilson andBunker, who scored 61 and 38 respec-tively. Bowling for Harbour Board, Rich-ardson achieved the creditable performanceof eight wickets for 53 runs on the day'splay.

ROWING.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
A BUSY TIME AHEAD.
Local oarsmen took full advantage ofthe favourable conditions that prevailedduring the week-end, and evei-y class ofboat, from the sculler to the four-oar, wasafloat. Steady instructional work wasthe order, the old hands centring at-tention on coaching the new members.In all the city clubs many new membersof the right stamp have been enrolled.These will enter the sport under excel-lent conditions, with up-to-date boats,in some cases entirely new, and everyfacility given for coaching, while thosenot inclined solely to pleasure will havea big programme of club, trial and re-gatta racing.
AH the clubs are very fortunate in thenumber of stunch supporters who havedonated trophies for club trials. Thisclass of racing serves the regattas in anexcellent manner, and during the nextfew weeks the various selectors will bekept busy.
It certainly looks as though re-gatta honours will be keenly con-tested at Tauranga, Rujsell, Whan-garei, Hamilton, Rangjriri, and Nga-ruawahia. Crews will go from WestEnd, Auckland, Waitemata, St. George,Hamilton, Whangarei, Tauranga, andprobably North Shore Club, and thenewly-formed Dargaville Club.
Waitemata Boating Club easily headedthe regatta winnings last year, "and thisseason its members are determined toeclipse last year's figures. Certainlythoy are entering the sport in a deter-mined manner.
The St. George's Club expects its newboats to arrive from Melbourne at anearly date. To enable members to startrowing, the West End Club has kindlylent the Parnell oarsmen one of itsclinker fours.
Among tho new members in the Auck-land Club is tho ex-Hamilton oarsman,Molesworth. The club will have, strongclaims on sculling honours with Steven-son and Molesworth.
No date has yet been settled for theAuckland Rowing Association's annualmooting. No doubt it will be held early,in view of the heavy season ahoad, amongthe events claiming attention being theNew Zealand Championship Regatta.
There is considerable discussion amongoarsmen as to the course for the cham-pionship regatta. No doubt the. claimsof Hamilton will be. approved. Tho rivertown offers many facilities,- )■? exception-ally well situated for the handling ofboats from the. railway, has comfortableaccommodation, and can command a "biggate." If the regatta can be. held onJanuary 29. its success is assured, par-ticularly from a financial point.
The chances of tho North Shore Clubreopening this season are now better thanever. On Saturday afternoon two crewswere afloat. One or two old hands on themanagement would render the pioneerclub valuable assistance.

BOWLING.NOTES AND COMMENTS.
FORTHCOMING FIXTURES.
TEAMS AND PLAYERS.
EV SKIP.
Local bowlers were favoured with tbefirst really fine day this season on Satur-day, and full advantage of it was taken,judging by the full attendances on allgreens. The week-end play saw themajority of clubs in full swing with theircompetition games, no fewer than 13 beingengaged in this manner. Three clubs hadjust ordinary games, while four were en-gaged in friendly inter-club contests.Edendale was en fete, the occasion beingthe opening of tho new pavilion.
Every pavilion now displays the postersfor tho various major events for the sea-son. Chief of these are the championshipsat Christchurch in January, and the localcentre tournament at Christmas. Minorfixtures are those at Wanganui and Puke-kohe.
Grey Lynn are again to the foro witha series of monthly tournaments to beplayed on Wednesdays. The first two areset down for to-morrow and December10 respectively, and will no doubt bewell-patronised by teams wishing to ac-quire combination in view of th?i Christ-mas fixture.
Mr. John Ferguson, a former presidentof the Grey Lynn Club, has returnedhonje after an extended holiday in theBritish Isles. He played last Saturday,and despite his long absence from thegame showed very good form.
Mr. T. Mclvor is still confined to bedowing to his having contracted influenza,and in his absence the president, Mr.Newton, will tfike charge of the GreyLynn tournament to-morrow. Grey Lynnshow an increased membership this season,ten candidates being elected on Saturday.It is pleasing to note among themseveral who were members in the past,and who have decided to take up bowlsagain. The final of tho Labour Pay tour-nament between the two West End teams,skipped by Clarke and Pierce respectively,will be played on this green to-morrowafternoon.
The Pennant Competition-Next Saturday will see the clubs in
action in the pendant competition. Asmentioned before, the quota committeehas done its work well, and tho ultimatewinner is well concealed. Good percent-ages will no doubt be recorded by someof the larger clubs, whose members havebeen keeping themsolvcs in form on theirclub's winter greens.
There is a point worth noting in con-nection with the procedure adopted bylocal clubs in matching the contestingteams, which is not done by ballot, asin the South, but by pitting skips ofreputation against each other. Thismethod leads most selectors or matchcommittees to give their best men strongteams as they know they will bo meetingstrong opposition. In making a few ofthe teams strong tho. club officials veryoften find they have a tail—their lastteams being much weaker, so much so thatsevere comment is levelled against theauthorities by the weaker skips, who com-plain that they have not had a fair dealin comparison with their more skilfulbrethren.
Were the matching of teams to be doneby a straight-out ballot it would be neces-sary for an teams to be selected as evenlyas possible, thus eliminating grounds forcomplaint and making the matches moreinteresting on account of a sporting chancebeing first obtained by the luck of theballot.
Year after year we find the same skipspitted against each other, and it would cer-tainly be a good change of programme ifthey _ met something new this season.
This innovation and a uniform time ofstarting play in pennant matches woulddo much to improve the standard of thisfine competition.
Auckland v. Remuera._ Auckland and Remuera met in a 16-
rink a-side match on Saturday, theformer winning on the total aggregateby 15 points, a small margin consideringthe number and variety of the teams.
There was nothing sensational, exceptthe substantia] win scored by the presi-dent of Remuera, Mcßobie, over Muston,33 to 6. It is not often that the hero ofthe Rotorua tournament last season getsa gruelling like that. To counteract thisheavy win Bailey, of Auckland, piled up31 to Badeley's 11. The rest of thegames were more or less even. A veryclose finish resulted in the Watson-Scantlebury game. The score was 20 alland one head to play. When Watsonplayed his last bowl he was lying 1 up,but unfortunately he just turned nis op-ponent over and then came a measure.After all hands had attempted to sepa-rate the bowls with the usual stringapparatus the calipers were brought intorequisition, and after careful work withthe instrument by the president, Mc-Robie, gave his verdict in favour ofScantlebury.
The Auckland greens are "keening"up nicely. It is generally conceded thatthe "squared" green will, with work, benearly if not quite as good as the bestlocally. The top green is a pleasuro toplay on.
Things are looking up in the camp ofthe "red, white and blue" brigade. Thecompetition entries are very heavy, andare as follow: —Senior championship, 40;junior championship, 33; veterans' handi-cap, 38; consolation handicap, 28; AnzacCup handicap, 53; Jubilee Cup handicap,55. All singles events are run on thetwo-life principle. The pairs entriesnumber 60. All the singles will beplayed on the "points" system (not byheads), 21 points being the minimum thelimit men have to make. Back-markersmust make this number, plus their op-ponents' handicap. It seems to be atetter system than giving so manypoints stnrt. The scratch men have achanco to make up tho leeway.
Maxwell Walker has thrown in his lotwith Auckland this season, and the in-clusion of the Auckland singles cham-pion will give a considerable filip tn the"fighting" instinct of the club, as nodoubt he will be busy making up anentry for the various tourneys. ThoAuckland Club members are noted fortheir stay-at-home tendencies, and thepresence of such a fighting skip as theprofessor will probably have its dueeffect. It is rather to be regretted thatthis fine old club should drop out of thehard-playing competitions, as it is inthese to'urnoys that the young "hot-spurs" of the greens learn to play thegame. It is not successfully learned bystaying at home.
The Question of Uniform.A good deal has been said at different
times about players turning up attourneys in oilier than orthodox costume.It is noticed that the local centre has anote regarding uniform on the poster ofthe. Christmas tourney, recently issued.It would not be out 'of placo were clubsto see that the players who representthem in the pennant matches or eveninter-clnb contests are correctly attired.What, is more ludicrous than to see aplayer take the field with a hard hatadornod by the club colours?
There must have been no more sur-prised man than Quin. of West PJnd, onSaturday evening, 'when he landed histeam home winners after having a badpassage right through and being ninedown and two heads to go. However,the veteran We.-t Ender is nothing ifnot a fighter, and having got a five onthe 30th bo burnt a few heads till histeam got into position to score anotherfive on the last head and win the matchby one, It was really hard luck for theskip, Cooke, and his men, after playingwell all through to moot disaster at thevery end. However, this is but anotherinstance of the h'ok of the game and thenecessity of playing up to the collar allthe way through and not slackening off,as CookeN men undoubtedly did.
Ellerslio players started in real earneston Saturday, when the first round of thepercentage fours was played off. Severalof tho new members are shaping well,notably Henry, late of Otahuhir, whoSlnyed a fine game and had a good win.
everal ol the pennant skips had their
colours lowered during the day. Thesingles competition was started later intho day. Crosher, a one-time champion,lost to a young player, Donnell, whileJackson, who recently annexed the cham-pionship pairs and who was prominent mrecent Denison Pin matches, also wentdown to a young player, I. White, whoplayed consistently.
The second round of the West EndClub fours saw some very good gamesresult, A surprise was the defeat of E.Pierce's team, which is identical withthe one he has engaged in the final ofthe Grey Lynn tourney. His opponent,Morlev, was very keen on winning andably assisted by Wynyard, No. 3, hadtho other side fighting all the way.Pierce's team, with the exception olAndrews, No. 2, who played well, weremuch below form, and will have to im-
prove considerably to-morrow to have »
chance against Clarke's team.

ENTERTAINMENTS.. -■
< «i -—>—
THE OPERA HOUSE.Vaudeville and revue provide a goodafternoon or evening's entertainment atthe Opera House tHis week. With the exception of Harry Claff, there are no freshfaces in the new programme, but' MrClaff makes up for much that is missed'New songs and new sketches are offeredtoo, by the other contributors to thevaudeville section of the programme,and, with a bright musical revue by theBand Box Revue Company, every element
is present for a good two and a-half hours'amusement. Mr. Harry Claff combinesthe qualities of actor and vocalist in asketch that smacks of originalitv. Tn ascena entitled "Bluff King Hal," he ap-pears in regal raiment, impersonating theKing Henry VIII. of the history booksMake-up ami voice lend reality to theimpersonation, and it is only when bo ex-changes with his partner a joke at hisown expense that he permits any hint ofburlesque to creep in. Mr. Claff's keensense of humour finds expression in nar-rating, with modern quips and salliesthe matrimonial adventures of the famousmonarch, and his merry thrusts andparries find responsive echo from theaudience as they pillory some masculineor feminine weakness in turn. He knows,too, how to make good use of his finesinging voice, and delighted his hearersyesterday with two effective songs, a hum-orous ballad, " One Wife at a Time." andthe favourite, "I'll Tell the World You'reMine." Mr. Claff was assisted throughouthis act by Miss Winnie Wager, a verydainty and charming partner, who addedvariety, to the scena with a solo dance.Another performer of more than averageattainments is John Moore, the Scottishcharacter comedian, who contributed some-thing new in the guise of a ship's eugineer.Very amusing were his stories of thestokehold and leave ashore, usuallv cent-ring round himself and his mate, Sands-.The Scottish accent often doubled theeffect of a clever joke. During the courseof his performance he showed many sidesof his talented nature, and used his pow-erful baritone voice to good advantagein serious and comic songs. Miss JennyRoy's musical numbers were just.as ac-ceptable as those she sang last week.She was attired throughout her turn inbecoming kilts, and brought her perform-ance to a conclusion with a daintily-executed Highland Fling. New dnetswore sung by the favourite pair, Hartleyand Wright. For the new revue, Mr.Gayle Wyer has chosen a piece entitled" On the Beach at Waikiki,' which has. aHawaiian setting and an amusing plot.Mr. Gayle Wyer appears as a press agent,who follows the girl he loves to Honoluluand meets with a cool reception from her-ambitious mother, who wishes to see hefdaughter married to nobility. This offersan opportunity for Walter Cornock andFrank Perry to masquerade as ducalscions, in which roles they perpetratea string of absurdities and errors thatkeep tlie amusement of the audience keyedto a high pitch. The vocalists of thecompany contribute many pleasing songs,in which the ballet assists. New asdnovel costumes add a colourful affect tothe production.
"PAID IN FULL."Eugene Walter's drama, "Paid in Full,"
is the kind of play in which the NellieBramlev Company invariably, appears, togood advantage. A powerful story, basedon incidents of modern origin, and treatedin the frank, realistic style demanded ofan American author, it is a type of playthat rivets the attention because of thsdirect simplicity of its theme and theopenings it makes for acting of the tense,emotional order. It enlists the sympathyof the audience frgm the start in thestruggle of two young people against .anadverse tide of life, intrigues the maturingmind with the question, Was Joe Brooksthe right choice of a husband for so goodand honest a woman as Emma?" and setsthe spectators keenly wondering whetherthe husband's defalcations will be ex-posed and his wife subjected to humilia-tion. The 6cene in which Emma goes tothe bachelor quarters of her husband'sseafaring employer in a despairing effortto " square' the wrong is full of dra-matic possibilities, and is handled in mag-nificent fashion by the principals. Thefinal act completely satisfies the logicaldemands of the situations which develop.
The revival of this play al His Majesty'sTheatre last evening saw notable characterportrayals by several well-known players.Miss Nellie Braraley, as the courageousEmma, had frequent opportunities to re-veal her powers of emotional acting. Thisshe accomplished in a completely effectivemanner, particularly striking being hermental deportment in the third act. Thetearful expression of relief and thankful-ness with which the act ends was veryaffecting. Mr. George Bryant, who ap-peared in his original role of CaptainWilliams, gave a finely-drawn picture ofthe gruff, honest old bachelor. Voice,gesture, and posture were so genuinelyin keeping with the type represented thatthe quality of his work met, with duerecognition, and .he was a prime favouriteduring the evening. Mr. George Hewlettfulfilled all the requirements as Emma'shusband—weak-willed, hesitant, and lat-terly giving evidence of an unmanlinessunworthy of the husband of so good awoman as Emma. Guy Hastings waspopularly cast as Jrmsy Smith, the faith-ful friend of Emma, and gave a character-istically impressive performance. MissKatliryn Murio and Miss Sylvia McNair,as Beth and Mrs. Harris* respectively,filled roles of lesser importance.
" Paid in Full " will be repeated thisevening and to-morrow evening only.
STRAND THEATRE.The All-British film week at the Strand
Theatre is meeting with all the successiit deserves. The principal picture, " Aj Bill of Divorcement," ranks probablv as| Lhe finest picture turned out of an Eng-j lish studio, and in every respect equals
I the best of the American products. In| particular, it presents a worth-whileJ themo, finely interpreted by a well-chosencast. The manner of treatment is moreEnglish than American, and in this re-spect the film offers a new note of appeal.It is adapted from the famous play ofClemence Dane's, which enjoyed the re-putation in London recently of being theonly stago play to boat the "theatre slump.A rare musical attraction in the pro-gramme is the singing of Miss Kate Cam-pion, the New Zealand prima donna.

CMC LEAGUE.
A meeting of the Civic League washeld in the Business Girls' Clubroomlast evening. The president, Miss
_ Basten, presided. A number of womenmembers of school committees were
' : present, and a disoussion of the work of] school committees took place. A debate-: arose regarding the qualifications for
election- to committees. Under thepresent system only parenta, guardians,
| and householders are eligible forelection. It was pointed out ' thatthere-
,might be found many excel-
lent: candidates for school committeeswho do not' come under these three head-
• ings. Single women who have made aspeciality of the study of education,women interested in children and many
• women of leisure are debarred from elec-tion, and they very often were the mostsuitably equipped for office. The apathyand indifference of the public towardthese elections was strongly commentedoi .Reports showed that the altendaaces at these meetings were very poorand little concern shown in the work ofthe. committees. On the subject of theextension of the Christmas holidays it*>as the unanimous opinion of allpresentthat the children were at a great dis-advantage in attending school during themonth of February. The classrooms,particularly in the city areas, on the'hotdays of summer became oppressive, and
* the children were not capable of doingtheir best work. It was considered bythose who had the children's interort atheart that lessons should be abandonedduring the very hot weather.
NEW SPRIM} FASHIONS.
- It is apparent that the great questionin the new fashions is to be the questionof the silhouette.
In their line, the new gowns are notgreatly changed, and much ingenuity isdisplay* d in preserving the lines of youthso much in favour, and in transformingthe models by alterations in .details alone.To avoid monotony, pleating is used invarious styles, from the fine accordeonpleating to the classic pleats used in•ports •suits. Flounces and ruffles ofevery kind, generally on the bias, areseen, and the spiral flounce is much infavour. Even on tailored suits, ruffles I
:■.; are seen sometimes. The sienderness of j- the hips is maintained, and ruffles and j
flounces -on skirts start well below thehip lino. Almost every device' is emi-ployed to give fulness and yet keep thesilhouette straiaht. A. distinctive mark Iis obtained by the use of fine pleatswhich are made to flare, by being jweighted with huge rolls of the fabric atthe bottom and by clever cutting, whichproduces the same effect. The "volante» forme'' h noticeably missing, how-ever. Buttcu trimming is exclusivelyused for street and even afternoondresses, and any number of uniquemethods of using buttons have been de-vised. There is a noted adherenceamong some couturieres to a decidedflare toward the bottom of the skirts,whieh are short, full, but nevertheless—
,paradoxical as it may sound—straightand slender jn line. Another character-istic featuro of the Season is the use ofembroidery of fabrics of two blendingtones in embossed effect* which is strikemg on coats and cloth dresses. Alpaca,satin", broadcloth and kasha are exten-sively used for tailleun, and coat fabrics.'..■Evening dresses are often soft affairs ofshaded chiffon, with floating paneis, orfan-like pieces attached to the skirt,
: Which give a graceful, airy appearance.

! LAST YEAR'S SHIPMENTS.
PROSPECTS FOR NEW SEASON.
If BETTER PRICES EXPECTED-i
| BT S.H.S.
j Ptfaltry-keepers throughout the Domin-ion. may again, feel proud of the successlof our egg exports. The first shipmentthat left our shore this season has ar-rived at its destination. Prices obtained
' are on a par with our last year's firs'i shipment, that it must be rememberedthis year we shipped our first Jot earlier,
I and' the second snipment should see an; advance on last year's prices because therais an extreme shortage in England this
i winter, owing to the last season at Homobeing so unfavourable for chicken rear-ing. Therefore, we may anticipate betterprices than received last year for all thefuture shipments sent Home. The pricesobtained for our first shipment by thePort Curtis as cabled from Englandwere as follows:—White eggs, 21s 6d perlong 100, which means 120, or ten dozen;cream eggs, a colour selected between a
Euro white and a brown, brought 22s per>ng 100, and brown eggs 245. per long
1100. Worked out in dozens, whitesbrought 2s Ijd, cream 2s 2d, and browns,the top price, 2s 4d.
We have often read about England spreferenoe for brown eggs over white,and this shipment proves it is a verykeen preference when buyers areprepared to pay 2£d per dozenmore than they pay for whites. • "Rowonder the general purpose or heavybreeds are so popular in England.This preference will also encourage thebreeding sof birds in New Zealand thatlay brown eggs. The Danish and Dutchegg - producers specially cater for the
jbrown-egg trade by only keeping certain! breeds that produce brown eggs of largejsize. Whether these birds lay as manyi *86® P®r annum as others I cannot tell,i but ; these people consider it a payingjproposition to breed for brown eggs and
• for size, and. this is what we shall have' to do so that our exports of brown mayincrease. It is a strange thing that theSouth Island of New Zealand, a colderclimate than the North, produces almostexclusively white eggs, although 'there areindications of the heavy breeds becoming
(more popular in the South. Heavy breedsare bred in much larger quantities in theNorth Island, and do well.
Quantity and Value.Last year the total number of eggs
exported amounted to 120,000 dozen. Up.to the middle of October that numberhad been nearly. reached by the SouthIsland alone, as in four shipments theirshare was-100,680 dozen ana they expect |
to send as many more. Of course theSouth Island will for some time to comeexport the largest quantities, as thepoultry-keepers there have been oyer pro-ducing for some time and there are somany big poultry farms. The South, isalso more favourably situated as regardspoultry- foods than the North and can
froduce cheaper. This . year the Northas been handicapped owing to the boats,
i especially to Auckland, _ not running'regularly ol- at suitable times, enablingI the quantity of eggs'to be prepared thati was desirea.' In lac*;, our first lot had[to be sent to Wellington by rail to be
1 shipped at that porli, and owing to theshaking the eggs get it is not likely wewill send eggs away except when the
i boats call at Auckland. " By the figuresto hand it looks as though the exportsthis year will more than treble the num-jber sent Home last year, which is highly[satisfactory.i It is estimated i . that ; , some £40,000vorth of eggs will be ?shipped Home thisseason. "From: "the different depots weare getting reports that more efficientfcethods are being used-by the Governmentgraders in getting the eggs away quicklyand yet in ihe' best condition. Tho co-

Shipping Smaller Eggs. \Of course"'the inairi consideration in
tending the sihalkr egg is the price we 'receive, and if we" find it not a payable jproposition then we can, easily -.discon- (,tinue sending them, although, it will de- .crease the value of our export trade inrelieving the surplus on our home markets. £As the breeding of poultry increases in jthe Dominion, so the need of exportingour surplus-eggs will become more neces-sary year by year. Perhaps in future '
'years we may not get the price we arejcetting now, but poultry-keepers generallyshould be pleased that as the Governmentjust returned to' power under Mr. Bald-win are out to show preference to goodsfrom the Dominion, we must benefit inBome way. There is- such a lot of doubt-ful eggs shipped to London from foreigncountries that our good quality eggs musttell their tale, and laws may be broughtin to stop the importation of inferior eggsen to the London markets. But to copewith the demand that must set in for NewZealand good quality eggs, we will needto gradually increase our flocks of birdsthat lay the class of eggs required in theHome markets.
There is' need to bring before my( readers, and all those who are helping the! egg export trade, the need to concentrate| our efforts on producing the best eggs' possible, and to send them to the depots'lor local consumption, and export in ai clean and well-graded condition. The' graders are finding untold difficulties at< times in selecting even a small percentage
! of eggs suitable for export out of crates!of eggs sent in. Some poultrymen speraito have no idea what is required. The
eggs in size are Al, but nearly all arespoilt by their dirty condition. Thegraders have no time to wash or cleantheir eggs, and they are cast aside.These are beautiful eggs when laidby the fowl, but evidently thenests are dirty or they arehandled in a dirty way, which spoil anotherwise good marketable article. Itwould not take the poultry-keeper long,with a damp cloth, to clean the dirt offeach egg as soon as collected, or it wouldbe still better if absolutely clean condi-
tions were maintained in the laying peris.| Individual Grading of Eggs.! Eggs are often sent in all of a jumble,email eggs on top of crate, and the best
I eggs at the bottom. This means that thej graders have to hunt for the good eggs,j thus wasting Valuable time. To those whoI have good laying strains of any breed, itj will pay them to watch their layers, andj breed off the strongest birds that lay goodj sized eggs, in good, payable quantities.1 This is possible, and poultry-keepersj throughout the Dominion must concen-j trate on improving their flocks in these! directions.,. There is much encouragement| for the breeder of birds that lay the browneggs, and although at one time the white-egg bird dominated poultry-keepers' yards,
I there is every indication that the brown-egg bird will become increasingly popular.
! Breeders of heavy breeds should takenote, apd so keep the standard up instamina' and size of eggs, so that thegeneral average of brown eggs produced'"this country will, compare favourablywith the Dutch and Danish brown eggs.«^u 6 1S

BEEF EXPORT TJfcADE.■ —: *■ j,
TYPE OF MEAT WANTED.
NEED FOR EARLY MATURITY.
LONDON MARKET DEMAND.
Mr. J. Langham, a prominent Vic-torian farmer, who is visiting New Zea-land after a prolonged tour throughGreat Britain and America, gave tomeinteresting information to our agricul-tural reporter on the subject of beef cattleand,the prospects of the export trade inbeef. He said that he was very muchstruck with the difference between thebeef types of tattle which are awardedthe chief prizes at the leading Englishshows and those which meet the approvalof New Zealand and Australian judges.
Mr. Langham was present at the lastEnglish Boyal Show and saw the cham-pionships going to deep-bodied, short-legged roundish linimals pf the earlymaturing type of two to two and a-halfyears which would weigh about 8001b.or over when dressed. He also attendedthe great sale of stud stock which takesplace at the Royal, and noticed thatthe Argentine buyers were particu-larly keen on the low set class of bullwhich produces the early maturing com-pact beef animal.
Meeting the Public Preference.The judging at the English Royal, said
Mr. Langham. would surprise those far-mers who are used to the ideals set by somany New Zealand and Australianjudges, who still favour the long-leggedflat backed type of Hereford or Snort-horn. It is all in favour of the smaller,more compact and younger class of beefanimal.
Mr. Langham noticed much the samething in America, but not to the sameextent.as in England.- He found thatprogressive stock farmers and meat sales-men were all in favour of young beef;the former because young beef can be
| produced more profitably than that which! takes four to six years to mature, andthe second because the public taste now-adays is all for young succulent tenderbeef, and the public will give good pricesand make a big demand for anythingwhich they like.
Mr. Langham states that if New Zea-land and Australian farmers wish to re-cover their place on the London marketsfor beef they will hftve to produce theclass of beef which the English customerrequires. He was shown beef carcases inthe sale rooms at Smithfield and wasstruck with the difference between themand those from English and Argentinesources.. The New Zealand carcases werelong shanked, hard and heavy boned andonly saleable at low prices. The Englishand Argentine beef was young, plumpand tender.
Plenty of Room for Right Class.'• It is plain," remarked Mr. Langham,
''that length of voyage and lack of chill-ing facilities are not the chief causes forthe failure of the antipodean farmers towin a good place in the export beeftrade, it is the failure to send the classof beef which is most in demand, andwhich commands the best price. Thereis plenty of room in the Old World forall the beef that New Zealand or Austra-lia can send for some time if they sentthe right class of beef, which must beyoung and succulent with the best partswell developed."
As an instance of the effects of publictaste in meat , markets, Mr. Langhamstates that when at. Smithfield he sawshin meat, flank and brisket meat, whichis prominent on long-legged aged animalssold at a very low price to be pickledfor the ; West African'trade, and on in-quiry found that the English demand forthese portions of beef was very limited.

NOTABLE DAIRY SIRE.A JERSEY BULL'S RECORD.
[BY TELEGBAPH.— OWN COItBESPONDENT. ].... ~. HAMILTOK. Monday.;
A world's record in the butter-fat-pro-ducing qualities* of the progeny of abull is claimed by Mr. F. J. Saxby, ofOhaupo Road, Hamilton, for his pedi-gree Jersey, Waipiko Masterpiece, Theperformances of the daughters of Wai-piko Masterpiece are of an interestingcharacter, and provide comparisonswhich indicate the remarkable improve-ment which can be wrought by using asire of outstanding quality. WaipikoMasterpiece's six daughters averaged610.491b. of butter-fat on twice a daymilking. His first daughter, AlfalfaCicero ; Fontaine; produced . 665.741b. offat, starting her test at two years and69 days. Her dam produced 3861b. offat at 10 years, on exactly the same feed-ing .and milking conditions as herdaughter. Alfalfa Pansy, the seconddaughter, , produced 690.161b. of ' fat,starting her test at two years and : fourdays, while this heifer's dam yielded4361b. of fat at 17 years, and her half-sister produced 4251b. of fat at one year336 days. The third daughter, AlfalfaMadam, gave 526.701b. of fat. Shestarted her test at two years three days.Her dam, at two years old,. gave 5011b.of fat. Starting her test' at one year316 days, Waipiko Masterpiece's fourthdaughter, Alfalfa Sweet Heather, yielded649.571b. of fat. This is considered tobe a New Zealand record for so younga coW. Alfalfa Lassie, the fifthdaughter, gave 539.101b. of fat. Whenthe sixth daughter, Alfalfa Senorita,started her test, it was considered thatthe record of the bull's progeny for pro-duction would not be sustained, as herhalf-sister, by a different bull, had given533.641b. of fat in a lactation period,starting when she was one year 329 daysold. Up to this time only three heifersin the Dominion, starting so young, hadexceeded this record. The sixthdaughter of Waipiko Masterpiece, how-ever, confounded the misgivings thatwere entertained by putting up the re-cord of 591.681b. of fat for a lactationperiod, commencing when she was at theearly age. of one year 247 days, or 20months old.
Commenting on his heifers' perfor-mances, Mr. Saxby said it was now awell-recognised fact that the best resultsfrom pedigree stock-breeding of any kindcould be obtained only by carrying outa well-considered system of line breed-ing. The daughters which had madethe name of Waipiko Masterpiece famouswere not bred on this system, but dur-ing the past two years several femaleshad been secured for breeding with himon this system. When the progenyfrom these niatingr. went under test, Mr.Saxby said he e?:pected some very inter-esting results. Waipiko Masterpiecewas not .only a great butter-fat im-prover, but each daughter was an im-provement on her dam on type. Anotherpoint worth mentioning was that thedaughters by Waipiko Masterpiece fromthe best matrons in the Alfalfa herdwere yet to come to profit. For in-stance, there were now daughters of hisfrom each of the only two full-sisters inthe Dominion to exceed 7001b. of fat,viz., ■ Twylish's Darkie 714.141b. offat (silver medal), at four years; and8081b. of fat at five years, and hersister, Twylish's Dahy, 7041b. of fat atthree years, the first three-year-old toexceed 7001b. of fat.

MARMITE mixed with boiling water or with hot milk is a worthwhile drink. Hot water alone or any other drink may give a
temporary sense of comfort. But Marmite does more. It possessesheat-giving properties of its own. Every speck of it is real food.For Marmite is a pure vegetable extrad. It is rich in Vitamin-B and in phosphatic salts.It helps to build up vigour and develop staying power; it enriches the blood and thus the &
nerves are strengthened. Use it as a restorative food-drink. Introduce it into everysavoury you m»ke; soups, sauces, gravies and stews. It improves the flavour andincreases the nourishing power of them all. And Marmite sandwiches are unique.In appearance Marmite resembles a rich beef extra&, but it is entirely without thedietetic disadvantages of meat. Itselfeasily digested, it has a marked benifidal effecV onother foods it meets in the processes of digestion.
Marmite is obtainable at all leading grocers throughout New Zealandi and at all Sanitarium Health Food Shops

THE MOTOR TRADE.LAST QUARTERN IMPO&TS.
rEWER CARS FDR AUCKLAND.
LORRIES SHOW INCREASE.
BRITISrt GROW IN FAVOUR.
Auckland imports of motor-cars in the jquarter ended September 30 totalled 661, jor only'three-fifths of the number (1101)imported in the same quarter last year.This is quite the most striking feature ofthe quarterly return made by the Comp-troller of Customs. The Dominion fig-ures show a very small shrinkage, and ifthe Auckland totals are not included, therest of New Zealand actually imported296 more cars last quarter than m thecorresponding* period a- year ago.
Despite the decrease in motor-cars, lor-ries have been brought into the country tngreater numbers. The Auckland Bguresare 260 this quarter, against 204 in theSeptember quarter of 1923, an increase of66, while the Dominion figures are 779and 696, respectively, an increase of 182.This indicates that while people may beeconomising in cars for pleasure, thereis no hesitation in buying- motor vehiclesfor business or commercial use. Underthe beading lorries are. also includedtrucks, vans and buses, so that part otthe increase may be accounted for inAuckland, at least by the great expan-sion of the motor passenger business,
Canadian Gare: :Halved.With regard to motor-cars, there are
some notable features>as to country oforigin-i Despite a general decrease inAuckland last quarter, \39 cars or overtwice as many as a year ago, came fromBritain. On the other hand, the num-
■ ber of Canadian cars waa almost halved,only 400 being Imported, against the pre-,vions figure of 767. iThe United Statesmakers also ifelt the pinch, but not soseverely,
, the drop being ' from 314 to219. France/ two cars againstnone a year ago, and Italy one insteadof two. ".... ...:.■. .■„■
The Dominion figures' do„not give the
same result. Britain, however, hasagain doubled her trade, increasing from116 cars to 226 Vin .last quarter. *sThafalling off in ■ numbers from Canada- is
' almost negligible, being 2600 against 2642a year ago. It is obvious, therefore,that while Auckland was halving its im-ports, the rest tf ithe Dominion bought325 more Cahadfin * cars.' For the
>> United States article, however, the pro-vincial decrease was,maintained for theDominion, the figures being 1099 lastquarter against 1312; a year-ago* a de-crease of 213. France sent 18' carsagainst none and Italy 32 instead of 52.
Where Lorries Game Tram. *
The increase of popularity for the Brit-ish article is maintained among the com- !mercial vehicles. Auckland Dought 23 <lorries, etc., from Britain, against six a Iyear ago, the respective figures for theDominion being 108 and 48. Canada sent;152 against 156 /lorries to Auckland, and397 against 392 to the Dominion. The :
. United States made a handsome advance !in both fields, Auckland taking 85 against ,
' 42, and New Zealand 270 against 156.Whether the provincial or Dominion rp- '
turns are taken, foricars or'lorries, alla marked advance New Zea-
'land body-building basinem Thuij whileAuckland imported 440 ifiSwiSr cars -last-iquarter, 71, or of;ill came inwithout bodies. Dominion .476
; car chassis were imported, aganisji' 362a year ago. The percenfe'ge of chassisto total cars has increased at Aucklandfrom 5.5 to 11 per cent., and at all NewZealand ports the proportion is about thesame. The splendid work being turnedout by* local car body builders shouldba Responsible forthe~progressive growthof :sk& percentage.
< Body-Building Business.Car bodies, of course, call for much
more elaboration than lorry bodies, and' the latf,er^arej all made
locally. Of 260 lorries, vans, buses, etc.,■■■.; imported into Auckland last quarter, 241
were landed without bodies, the corres-ponding figures for the Dominion being i779 and 4.753. That is, only 26 completelorries were imported, of which 19 werefor; Auckland. ' "■
.
The great increase, in importations ofBritish cars will naturally be set down tothe advent of the lighter type. This as-sumption is" borne out by the returns, theaverage value having fallen in 12 months;
>" from £394 to £358. (The values shown
represent the current domestic values inthe country of export, plus 10 per cent.)The same cause 1 cannot be said to have•produced the great increase in lorries im-ported from Britain as the average valuehas risen from £584 to £611. Canadianmakes still predominate throughout themotor trade, however, thesupplying more than half ; the cars orlorries' imported into dtHer Auckland orNew Zealand.
§.jxfgher Average Valiies.
When the total importations of cars andlor. !es into New Zealand* is taken, it 1b
: found that the numbers havefrom 4719 in the September quarter, 1923.to 4757 last quarter.'' The total value in-
... creased from £647,612 to £904,671. Theapparent discrepancy is explained by thegreater number and higher average valueof lorries imported, \ and by; the fact thatCanadian cars, which represent more thanhalf the total numbers, increased in av-eragervalue from £120 a year ago, to £152to-day. It must be recognised, however,that the rate of increase over last yearwas checked in the September quarter.For the hatf-year the aggregate was 9332motor vehicles valued at £1,605,630,against'ssß7 valued at £1,005,469 in thefirst half of 1923. In the last nine months14,089 motor vehicles have arrived, of ,atotal value of £2,510,301, against 10,306at £1,653,081 in the first three quarters oflast year. ;
These totals show that motor vehiclesare entering the country at the rate of52 a day, or 364 a week. Last year therate to the end of September was 38 a,day or 266 a week. The bill, even onthe very conservative basis, taken for cus- |toms purposes, h about £9300 a day, or£65.100 a week, which has increased from£6120 a day or £42,840 weekly.
TRADE SLACK OVERSEAS.
■ RITAIN AND AMERICA.
REMOVAL OF MCKENNA DUTIES.
Observations in the motor trade, whileon a seven months' tour in Britain, theContinent, and North America, were the.subject of some remarks by Mr. T. A. 'Low,,of Northern Automobiles (Ltd.), ofAuckland, on his return by the Makura !yesterday.
The motor trade in England was in abad state, said Mr- Low. Part of this was jdue to the removal of the McKenna duties iby the Labour Government The effecthad been felt particularly by the makers jof medium-priced cars. One manufacturerhad launched an enterprise to produce athousand low-priced cars weekly, but theremoval of protection had upset his calcu-lations, and he was not getting the returnsanticipated.
There was very little new about Eng-lish car design,, added Mr. Low. The
- better class makers did not produce a carsuited to the overseas market. It was notof the type or the price to. meet the de-mand, and often not of standard wheeltrack.
Mr. Low did not find the .outlook verybright in America. '; Passing through inMay and June ha found-that only one firmwas working to capacity, the othersoperating on one-third to two-thirds time.On his return a month ago business was alittle better, but still very dull. Thepresidential elections were blamed for tradedisturbance, but there was also a palpable
/tightness of money. From New York toSan Francisco every soft goods store washolding a clearing sale, trying to attract
n«y., ..The steel trade was also
