COCHRAN PREMIERESARAH CHURCHILL'S DEBUT

A gala -atmosphere marked the open-ing of Mr. C. B. Cochran's new revue," Follow the Sun," at the Opera Housein Manchester, recently, states an Eng-lish writer. Celebrities on the stage .andcelebrities in the stalls made it oneof the most brilliant events of theManchester season. More than 100people braved the fog and travelleddown from London for the occasion.

Mrs. Winston Churchill was presentto see her daughter, Miss SarahChurchill, make her debut as one ofMr. Cochran's Young Ladies, and MissGertrude Lawrence also watched thefirst stage appearance of her daughter,Miss Pamela Gordon.

The revue was given an encouraging;welcome. It is essentially a costume anddancing show, and upon it Mr. Cochranhas lavished all the colour and spectacleat his command. It contains no fewerthan 20 principals in a company ofover 100 and of so many nationalitiesthat it has been described as a minia-ture League of Nations. Irene Eisinger,the dainty German prima donna, madeone of the hits of the evening with hersinging of " Love is a Dancing Thing."

THE WOMAN'S WORLDWEDDINGS

MOORE—MOYES

St. Mary's Church, New Plymouth,was beautifully decorated on Mondayafternoon for the wedding of Miss Mar-garet J. Moves, eldest daughter of Mr.W. H. Aloyes, headmaster of the NewPlymouth iioys' High School, and Mrs.Moyes, to Mr. Edward John (Toby)Moore, older son of Mr. and Mrs. E.B. Moore, of Wainoni, Nelson. Theceremony'was performed by Canon E.H. Strong, of Auckland, formerly chap-lain of the school, and Mr. R. N. Holl-and played the wedding music. Thebride, who was escorted by her father,wore a gown of parchment French eye-letted. lace, worn over georgette of thosame shade. The corsage, designed withthe new halter collar effect, had verti-cal ruckings in front and tiny buttonsfastened the bodice at the back of theneckline and trimmed the long sleeves,which formed points over tho hands.Slenderly cut, the skirt fell in soft foldsbelow the hip line and formed a grace-ful oval train, finished with taffetaruching and blue lover's knot. Her veil,of filmy silken tulle, was caught ateach side with tiny clusters of orangeblossom, and she carried a beautifulbouquet of golden pom pom dahliasand begonias. The bridesmaids were thoMisses Mary Robertson (chief), Cather-ine Moyes, Rona Moore (Nelson), JeanChristie (Wanganui), Nancy Moyesand Helen Abraham (Dunedin). Theywere dressed in picturesque frocks fash-ioned alike in honey-beige crepe georg-

.ette with a high square necklinetrimmed with rows of tiny pin-tucksand short ruched sleeves with an up-standing frill on the shoulders. Simplelines defined the skirts, which were.effectively finished with many rows of.little pin tucks around the hemline andon the'skirt, outlining the flares which:formed a slight train. Cherry red wasintroduced by girdles of velvet andfloral chapelets of polyanthus roses on•the hair. They carried bouquets of ger-beras, gladioli and red roses. Mr. Ken-neth Fookes, New Plymouth, was bestman, and the ushers were prefects ofthe. school, Masters M. Ekdalil, J.Steven. B. Faris, W. Evans, M. Don-nellv, T. Larkin, C. Blundell and R.Corkill. .

MORRIS—MANDERAt Letchworth, England, on Decem-

ber 17, the wedding took place ofArthur Robert Hampton, son of theRev. W. A. Morris and the late Mrs.Morris, of Rbydycroesan, Oswestry,, toMargaret Hope, youngest daughter ofAir. and Mrs. 31. B. Marnier, of Gis-borne, wrote our London correspondenton December 24.

A SMALL BOY'S SAVINGS

FOR THE BRITISH RED CROSS

A small boy, grandson of a Britishstatesman, bas given the Archbishop ofCanterbury his savings for six years forthe British lied Cross ambulance ser-vice in Abyssinia.

This was revealed by the primate ata London meeting called in support oflis appeal for further funds.--"Every day," wrote Lady Barton,Wife of the British Minister at AddisAbaba, "thousands of men pass theLegation on their way to the front withnothing; an occasional man has an oldriflje.

"Their womenfolk follow them carry-ing bundles ou their heads. It is justa continual tramp of misery."

She went on to describe the hopelessattempts to provide first-aid equipment.

"For every 500 men we give fivehaversacks containing bandages, dress-ings and packets of iodine and quininet> . . a pitiful attempt to help."

"I appeal," the archbishop said, "forspecial sympathy for a people seekingto defend their country against aforeign invader without any of the re-sources of science, experience and skilliwhich the invader possesses."

jr,: He spoke of the wounded and dyingto the hovering vultures and

the prowling beasts of prey."

HOLIDAY HINTS

At thia time of the year manypeople go away for a holiday. Oneof the problems they have to face is*hat to do with pot plants and howto leave their flats or houses.

If they follow these hints the holi-day will not be spoiled by the returnto an untidy home, and all worry willbe obviated.

Place several sheets of newspaper onthe bathroom floor, put the pot plantsround a basin of water, and placecloths with one end in the water and"tne other in the pots. The water willseep through and so keep the plantsdamp.

The kitchen should bo cleaned thor-oughly before leaving. All perishablefoodstuffs should be disposed of.

AUTUMN MODELS

UNIQUE MANNEQUIN PARADE

RUST THE POPULAR COLOUR

BY BARBARA

I saw a unique mannequin parade re-cently in Sydney—a display of ad-vance autumn models by a singlemannequin. Although she wore manydifferent types of garments she showedeach one to its best advantage andher changes were so quick that sheseemed scarcely to leave the floor. Shewas Miss Margaret Vyner, a beauti-ful Sydney girl, who left abouttwo years ago to seek her fortuneabroad. As soon as she arrived in Parisshe was lucky enough to be engagedby Patou and after a few weeks'strenuous training, during which timeshe had to learn an entirely newmethod of display, she became hisprincipal mannequin. Since then shehas worked with Norman Hartnell andseveral other leading designers. Shemodelled a number of the frockschosen by the Duchess of Gloucesterfor her trousseau, and her photographhas appeared in both Vogue and Har-per's Bazaar so many times that herlovely face is doubtless familiar to you.

I do not know if it was only be-cause they were being displayed byso perfect a mannequin, but the clothesin this collection seemed particularlylovely. They had that outstanding dra-matic qualitv, which is so near tothe heart of every woman. The hats,the day suits and the evening cloaks■—each seemed to present itself with aflourish.

First of all, we were shown a groupof day suits, all heavily fur-trimmed.It seenre as if our winter suits andcoats will be tailored in fur, withthe woollen material playing a verysecondary part. One of the most at-tractive of these suits was made ofrust-red woollen with a diagonal brownweave. Tho skirt was cut verystraight, with three inserted box pleatsin front. It was tho coat which gavea revolutionary note. It was box-shapedand of finger-tip length. A tinystand-up fur collar, rather military ineffect, widened into plaston revers,which came from the shoulder linedown to a six-inch-wide fur band oneither side of the closely-fastenedcentre opening. A six-inch fur bandedged the bottom of the jacket, whichalso boasted very wide cuffs of thesame fur—dyed squirrel. Two brassclfps of important proportions fastenedthe coat high to the neck. The brownfelt halo hat worn with this suit hada tiny fur bow placed flat on one sideof the head in front.

Rust promises to be the best colourfor autumn. A charming frock wastailored in a soft woollen materialwhich wns graded in different shadesof rust. This frock had stitched box

pleats which reached from the insetRaglan sleeves to the knees, where theyfell loose to the hemline. Two patchpockets with rounded corners wereplaced on both bodice and skirt and thoPeter Pan collar was fastened with adouble gold clip. The hat worn withthis frock was a tyrolean shape with astiff green quill placed at an exagger-ated angle.

Two other wool suits were worthy ofnote. The first, which was also wornwith a tyrolean hat, had a pencil-slimskirt of dark red woollen, which wastopped by' a wide, swing-back, three-quarter length coat of crash-colouredwool with a red and brown plaid lino.This coat was belted through slots atthe side, which left tho back free andheld the front firm. Hugo projectingfur revers and a fur collar which huggedtho hairline at the back were dramatictouches. The other suit was alsomuch fur-trimmed, but it was in aquieter material and style. Of brownribbed wool, it was cut in simple two-piece style belted at the waist. A bil-lowing, scalloped, double bib of redsquirrel gave a very chesty look andwas again finished by a tiny stand-upmilitary collar. Tho sleeves were cutwide to the elbow, where tliey joinedwide fur cuffs caught tight in to thewrist.

Rust-red was again evident in thelate afternoon frocks. A rust-red cloquecrepe was cut with a straight skirtand full sleeves caught in to five tinyblack taffeta cuffs. The interest wascentred on the bodice. This had a highneckline with a stand-up black taffetacollar one inch wide, and fastened witha double gold clasp. Shirring shapedthe shoulder line and groups of shir-ring on the ribs made the bodice veryclose fitting. At the back tho collarstood high and a row of covered but-tons ran down to tho belt.

An enchanting black velvet shovel-shaped hint with a perky bow in frontwsis worn with a black satin cocktail

suit. This also was Riven additionalsmartness by a double blue fox fur.

Perhaps the most dramatic of allthe clothes shown was ft Florentineevening cloak in electric blue ring vel-vet, which was lined with ruby redvelvet, and, therefore, interchangeable.When Miss Vyner entered, she worethe hood over her head, showing aframe of ruby round the face. Oneside of the cape was thrown over theleft shoulder showing a wide strip ofred lining and the other side was heldin the left hand displaying the liningagain in a strip to the ground. Thehood was then thrown back, the capeopened, and a blue velvet evening frockwas disclosed. N

Now wo come to the frock and coatin my sketch—each of which wasworn with a flower in the hair. Thefrock was a charming affair of softly-pleated, dusty pink chilfon, and thecoat, which was also made of rich bluevelvet, was very "jeune lille" with itspuffed three-quarter length sleeves.These evening coats, of which MissVyner showed several, are all of ankle-length and tend to show the whole footand a little of the frock in front.

NOTABLE HEROES

DOGS* HALL OF FAME

Heroes that ask no more of life thanone good meal a day and somewhereout of the draught to sleep at nightnow figure in a London "Hall of Fame."

They were praised to the skies byscores of men and women who attendedthe opening of Mrs. G. Shaw Baker'sexhibition in the Cathcart Galleries,Knightbridge, S.W., of pastel portraitsof dog heroes, and other animals.

One of the pictures is of Perro, acurly black retriever owned by Mr. P.Robinson, of Sheffield. A 17-year-oldgirlfell into tho River Dee while it was infull spate, and Perro saved her bydragging her to the shore.

Then there is Rover, a black and tanmongrel terrier, who leapt 10ft. from abridge into a canal to savQ a five-year-old girl from drowning.

Next is Little Gyp, who won the V.O.collar for bravo dogs when he was onlyfive months old. He saved his master'sthree children from death when a tentin which they were sleeping caught fire.

There are dozens of heroes like thatwhose memories are preserved in tho pic-tures sketched by Mrs. G. Shaw Baker.

The most famous of them all was atthe show in person. He is Bob of Car-mel, an Alsatian, owned by Mr ElliottDurham, of Northwood, Middlesex. Bobhas twice saved his master's life, oncefrom a blazing car and again from deathby falling over a cliff.

He was judged the bravest dog inAmerica in 1931, when 5000 dogs com-peted for the title.

On this occasion he carried a bouquetof flowers in his mouth and gave themwith a gallant bow to Frances, Countessof Warwick, who officially opened theexhibition.

DAME CLARA BUTT

HER FAVOURITE SONG

"A question I am frequently askedand find ever difficult to answer is:' What is your favourite song?' "

wrote Dame Clara Butt, whose deathhas occurred in England, in a recentnewspaper article. " I have usuallysaid, because it is nearest the truth,the song which I find myself singing atthe moment. But since I have been soill and so much alone 1 realise that myfavourite songs are those which 1 havenever sung in public and mostly quiteto myself. 1 have always loved sacredsongs, and some 1 have felt too sacredto sing to a crowd that has come forentertainment. Fauro's ' En Priere ' isone of these, and when I want help inpain or trouble I sing this when 1 amalone. Perhaps one day I may make arecord of it, though I should loatheto hear it sandwiched between somehorrible crooning and jazz, or put onthe gramophone at wrong speed.

"A song which I always delighted insinging and which was also a greatpopular success, was ' The FairyPipers.' It was written for me by thelate Sir Herbert Brewer, whose charm-ing personality and fine musical tasteused to make the festivals at GloucesterCathedral one of the most delightfulevents of the musical year. On oneoccasion I sang this song at Bath,accompanied by Mr. Frank Tapp, andthe local paper mentioned that it waswritten by Brewer, published byBoosey, sung by Butt and accompaniedby Tapp.

Punch caught sight of the report,and added, 'The audience was intoxi-cated with delight by the time the lastbar closed!' "

WOMEN IN ITALYTRIALS OF THE HOUSEWIFE

"While the women of Abyssinia aremarching barefooted over the sunbakedhills, accompanying their men to theforefront of the battle, I went alongto the Italian Embassy to find outwhat the women of Italy are doingin the face of world disapproval," re-cently wrote a London correspondent.

" 'All Italian women aro working tre-mendously hard, from the Queen andthe Crown Princess downward,' the Am-bassador told me. 'The Queen herselfis in command of all military hospitals.She has made a hobby of improvingthe sanitary conditions of the peopleof Italy and bringing their Red Crossservices up to date; and now, as inthe Great War, the hospitals for thewounded are directly under her control.

" ' The Princess of Piedmont, whowas Princess Marie Jose of Belgium,has done a great deal of nursing sinceshe left school, and she is bringingher practical knowledge to good usenow. She has taken complete chargeof the management and equipment ofall our hospital ships. She is livingin Naples and she personally inspectsevery hospital ship before it leavesthe port and when it returns, herselfchecking up the medical stores, and soon.

" ' Of course, our women are work-ing in the munitions factories, and onthe land, too, they are doing the workthat husbands, fathers and brothershave had to leave. Italian women neveraccompany the men when they are cam-paigning. All the nursing in the warzone is done by men. As far as 1know,' said the Ambassador, 'therearo no Italian, women in Abyssinia.Even during the Great War oyr womenwere not allowed rearer the fightingfront than the base hospitals. Thespirit of our women is fine. They arecheerful, and they will not break therules for meatless days, even whenthe wily butchers try to tempt; themto buy enough meat one day to carrythem over the days of fast." ' But food of very kind is short

in Italy now, and the housewife whoused to have two eggs for a savourydish now tries to manage with halfof one. The whole population is beingasked to eat less; and such things aslemons, olives, and certain wines areunobtainable, as the entire stock isbeing used for the troops. Dinner ona meatless day consists of vegetablesoup, eggs baked on flat plates, breadand perhaps some fruit that was pre-served last summer.' "

MERINGUES

Meringues should be baked as soonas they aro prepared or the sugar andeggs will separate and the mixture willfall. Baking-sheets and oven should,therefore, be prepared beforehand.Brush a flat baking-sheet with salad oil,cover with ordinary kitchen paper andoil this also. Have the oven only justwarm—that is, about 200deg. or so thatthe hand can just touch the shelf com-fortably. To four whites of eggs usenine ounces of castor sugar, unless theeggs aro small, when seven to eightounces of sugar should be used. Somepeople whip the whites first and thenadd the castor sugar, whipping upagain' until stiff; others whip thewhites only slightly and add the sugargradually, whipping all up together.Whichever method is used the final mix-ture should be very stiff so that it canbe moulded with two spoons to hold itsshape. About an ounce of sugar shouldbo left to sprinkle over the meringuesbefore they are baked.

To shape the meringues, dip a dessert-spoon into cold water, take a spoon-ful of the mixture, and shape it into anoval with a wet knife. Take anotherspoon and turn the meringue into it soas to shape the underside smoothly,then put it on to the oiled paper.Use up the mixture in this way, leavinga good space between each one.Sprinklo with the remainder of thesugar, then put the meringues into theoven and leave them for about twohours. The heat must bo carefullywatched, as failures aro usually due tothe oven's being too hot. They mustdry, not bake. If the meringues showany tendency to brown the oven doorshould bo left open. When the merin-gues are set,, but not brown, take themout of the oven and remove carefullyfrom the paper after a minute or two.If they stick moisten the underside ofthe paper with water, leave for a shorttime, and then gently insert a paletteknife underneath. Next scoop out someof the soft inside with a spoon, leavingthe shells, which should bo put into theoven again and well dried. The merin-gues will keep for somo time in an air-tight tin. and when required should bofilled with whipped cream which hasbeen sweetened with a little icing sugarand flavoured with vanilla, lemon,strawberry, or coffee essence. A littlestrawberry jam with the cream alsomakes a good filling.

MENTAL FACULTIES

AGE NO DISABILITY

At the 97th annual meeting of theAmerican Association for the Advance-ment of Science, held in St. Louis thelast week in December, a group ofnatural scientists examined the commonassumption that because one had passedthe "prime of life" he is declining men-tally, and branded it "unfortunatelibel."

Thus workers in their forties, fiftiesand sixties will no doubt be glad tolearn that direct evidence is at lastavailable disproving the frequent infer-ence of mental decline as a concomitantof age.

Dr. Irving Lorge, of Teachers' Col-lego, Columbia University, gained hisfacts from examinations of New Yorkunemployed between ages of 20 and70. When computing a graph of aperson's mental ability through life "acorrection must be applied for thepenalty such tests place upon age," hosaid. "When this is done the seemingcurve of decline becomes a curve ofmental plateau or even of mentalgrowth."

WOMEN'S DIVISION

Karaka.—At the January meeting ofthe branch, presided ovor by Mrs.Wood, thanks were extended to Mr.and Mrs. V. C. Bailey for havingerected a tree in the hall for the chil-dren's annual Christmas tj-eat. Tt wasdecided to send donations to the crip-pled children's fund, to tho healthcamp and to the Auckland branch forthe hospital comforts funds. The com-petition was for meringues. Hostessesfor the afternoon were Mesdames Nor-ton, Hodgson, Scowju, and Miss .Wright.

WAR ZONE TENSIONUNSETTLED EGYPT

ITALY AND PALESTINE

DUNEDIN MAN'S IMPRESSIONSSome vivid impressions of the present

international troubles have beenbrought back by Mr. W. D. G. Hait-ley, of Dimediti, who recently returnedto Wellington after a five months'business and holiday visit to Palestine,

Europe and the United States.Mr. Hartley's vessel touched at Bom-

bay on tho way from Australia, andclose to Bombay it constantly passedBritish battleships goinn to and com-ing from Aden which, be stated, was inan" advanced state of nervous tension.The shipping officials of this isolatedport had actually caused undergroundtunnels to bo made as a protectionagainst air raids.

In tho Red Sea, Mr. Hartley said,ho had seen many Italian transportsgoing to Dessie to disembark then-troops for Abyssinia, and he had heardmany tales of tho anti-British feelingthat the soldiers wore showing. In one

instance, though he had not been ableto corroborate tho story, he had beentold of somo British residents who hndprepared small comforts for tho sol-diers. But tho Italians wore said tohave received them without a word ofthanks and to have gone across theirship to throw them into tho sea.

British Tourists Uneasy

Mr. Hartley left tho ship at PortSaid and went to Cairo, where therewas an electric atmosphere. Britishtourists were very uneasy and the riotsdirected at British residents caused thecity to be shunned instead of visited.Hundreds of tourists wero cancellingtheir passages to Alexandria and Cairo.It appeared that Great Britain wasdisplaying her might in the Mediter-ranean, and particularly in tho BedSea, at Alexandria, and at Haifa, inPalestine.

"As far as Cairo and Egypt wereconcerned, I was reliably informed inJerusalem that Mussolini had spent£500.000 in anti-British propaganda,"said Mr. Hartley. " The same man saidthat Mussolini had also, expended avery large sum in tho same way inPalestine to get the goodwill of theArabs, who are very strongly opposedto Great Britain's Jewish policy.

Feeling Running High" The racial antagonisms in Pales-

tine are giving Britain grave concern.Feeling among the Arabs is runningvery high. I think there will be verysoon a recurrence of the troubles ofseveral years ago, though this time itis likely to be in connection with land.The country is being administeredaccording to the policy of the BalfourDeclaration, which stated that Palestinewas to bo for the Jews. But the Arabsoutnumber the Jews by eight to one.

" I was told by a prominent bankerin Jerusalem that leading Zionistshave as their goal the settlement oftwo and a-half million Jews within afew years. In 1920 there were 66,600Jews in Palestine; in 1922 there wero83,794; in 1926 tho number was147,000, and now the total is about200,000 or even more. At Tel Aviv, anold Jewish city, there were 20,000 Jewsin 192.'}; now there are 100,000. Asfar as Italy is concerned I think it hasdefinitely got the sympathy of theArabs."

MINIATURE BAKERY

TESTING NEW WHEAT TYPES

NEW SOUTH WALES RESEARCH[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT]

SYDNEY. Jan. 20Unknown to the man in the street,

there exists in the heart of Sydney aminute bakery. Upon its outputthousands of pounds of the State'swealth might be won or lost. The loafit turns out is only about tha size ofa roll, although, in miniature it is aNreplica of tho "tin" loaf of the subur-ban baker. Its machinery, thoughsmall, is the most modern available.

In methods, it goes farther than theaverage bakor, for it receives itsmaterial as wheat, grinds it in its ownmill, and carries through all processesuntil the loaf is taken from tho oven.Even the dough is mixed in tho latesttypo of mixer, and the bread is bakedin a rotary system electric oven, thebaking arms rotating as a whole, andeach platter revolving as well. Thusconstant heat is assured.

This minute bakery is the wheat-testing plant of the Department ofAgriculture. It is under the control ofMr. G. W. Norris, assistant analyst ofthe chemistry branch. The wheat sup-ply for the bakery comes from theDirector of Plant Breeding, and istaken from the varied types of wheatgrown on the Government experi-mental farms. Generally tho grain iswhat might be termed "wheat in themaking," for on tho result of thebakery tests depends whether a whentis sent out to bo grown commercially,or is sent back to the farms for the in-corporation and amalgamation ofstrains calculated to eliminate faultsor consolidate grains.

A false step might have far-reachingeffects, with heavy losses in train, asBhown by tho experience of anotherwheat-growing State, where a wheatwhich was widely distributed because, ofits prolific yield, without proper con-sideration of its baking qualities, isnow causing endless trouble to bakersand is likely to have a big effect onexport trade. ,

The idea behind tho scheme is to in-crease not only tho yield, but thoquality of the wheat, and to producethe article best able to "stand up topunishment" inflicted by modern mach-inery. Varieties that fail to stand upto the rigorous tests of tho bakery arediscarded gradually, while successfulqualities go out to the experimentalfarms to propagate new crops. Alwaystho aim is at grafting on big yieldingwheats tho refinements of other varie-ties. The-pick of these products thengo out to the farmers of the State andtake their place in the commercial out-put of the wheat belts.

Two new varieties have recentlypassed through the bakery and arc re-garded as promising. They have pro-duced loaves of attractive appearanceand exceptionally good value.

EARLY STEAM PLOUGH

Many interesting reminiscences wererecounted by those attending theMabel School Jubilee in Southland,and it was learned that two pioneersof the district, Mr. I*. Sanderson andMr. G. Amos, sen., worked the firststeam plough brought to New Zealand.It was used on the Edendale and Mor-ton Maines Estates for four years, butthe results were not considered satis-factory. The plough brought too muchclay to the surface, burying the topsoil, and it took some years to bringthe land back to proper cultivation.

HAVOC BY WINDDAMAGE TN SYDNEY

roof torn off store

HURLED MORE THAN 100 YARDS

Following the highest temperature tor12 months, which caused several peopleto collapse in tho streets, a fierco galeswept Sydney and suburbs and otherparts of tho Stnte on January 16. Thewind, which was accompanied by tor-rential rain, reached a force of 51 milesan hour. Considerable damage was doneto property in tho city and suburbs. Astore and two houses wero severely dam-

aged at Leichhardfc, tho occupants

having narrow escapes from injury.At Hillview, near Liverpool, a

weatherboard cottage was flattened tothe ground, and at Austinmer, houseswere blown from their foundations andsurfers were unable to cross the beachin the face of tho wind.

A terrific storm lifted the iron-sheetroofing of tho Defence Department'sordnance store at Leichhardt, and fiunjjit more than 100 yards away. Mostof the iron first struck a tree and thenricocheted on to the back portions oftwo dwellings in the grounds of thostore, hacking off portions of tho houses.One sheet of iron came down with great,force on top of a motor-car andsquashed tho body as though it hadbeen put in a vice. A young man whowas about to enter the car had a luckyescape from serious injury. Occupantsof the dwellings also had remarkableescapes. Two small girls were slightlyinjured by flying sheets of iron.

The damage to the roof set all thesprinklers operating, and operated thoautomatic fire alarm. When the firebrigades arrived the firemen found hun-dreds of sheets of iron piled up inCharles and Fairlight Streets, whichresembled a junk yard. There weresheets of iron piled up topsy-turvy, ahuge hole in tho ordnance store roof,

and the rear portions of the two dwell-ings smashed. Fences were flattened,and there wero holes a foot deep wherethe iron had struck.

Mrs. M. Kirk, who occupies the first-cottage struck by the iron, said she wassitting in tho front room of her homewhen the iron struck the house, pierc-ing the bricks as though they weropaper, and unroofing the kitchen.

The home of Mrs. Terence Walsh,next door, suffered even more severely.Mrs. Walsh said she was sitting in thekitchen when the roof crashed in. Shohad a wonderful escape from injury,and ran into the front portion of thehouse. Tho back portion of the housewas unroofed, and the walls were stovein. . , T ■Jean Stearn, aged nine, and JessieStearn, aged seven, were playing inCharles Street when tho storm strucktho neighbourhood. They were caughtin a terrific gust and were flung to theground. A piece of sheet iron grazedthem, and Jessie suffered a wound onthe back, and Jean was cut about thebody.

It was estimated by the district firebrigade officer that about 9000 squarefeet of iron was blown off the roof oftho ordnance store.

CONTROL OF TRAFFIC

METHODS IN AMERICAf

DR. SCHOLEFIELD IMPRESSEDr 1

Certain aspects of American man-ners and methods that impressed himwere outlined in an interview by Dr.Guy H Scholefield, ParliamentaryLibrarian, who returned to Welling-ton recently after an extended tourabroad, during which he visited manynational libraries. The movement andcontrol of traffic in the United Stateswas a phasd with which he was par-ticularly impressed.

Dr. Scholefield stated that the con-trol of motor traffic in American citieshas met with very varying measures ofsuccess. "The red and green lights,working automatically at corners andcontrolling the movement of both whee!and foot traffic, seem to enable themaximum of foot and wheel traffic touse the streets with the greatest speed.''he stated "As a general rule, pedes-trians are not permitted to cross thestreet at all except at the corners,where their safety zone is marked withwhite lines, and occasionally in themiddle of a block, where again whitelines appear. The white line is alsogenerally used down tho centre of theroad to keep traffic on its correct side.These lines are very rarely ignored bymotorists.

"Los Angeles is an outstanding ex-ample of successful traffic control. Inarea it is larger than London. It hasmany fine, broad boulevards, and some-thing like a million registered cars andtrucks within the urban area. One canimagine that over such vast distancestraffic must go at the highest possibleBpeed. It does, in fact, go faster inLos Angeles than anywhere else Iknow. Tho control and the conduct ofthe drivers are both excellent. Thewhite lines are observed scrupulously,whether police arc near or not. It isinteresting well out in the country tocome across cars stopped at cornersbefore turning into traffic lanes whichmay be quite clear.

"Tho rule is that traffic may notturn into a principal street or roadwithout stopping; and there are manycorners elsewhere where cars coming anyway must stop before crossing. Thoughthis would probably be resented in ad-vance, experience shows that it hasexcellent results. By observing theserules and being confident that pedes-trians will play their part, motors cansafely travel at their top speed betweentho controls. Horns are rarely soundedin Los Angeles except to admonish adriver who is offending against thetraffic rules.

"In spite of tho good conduct ofdrivers and the efficacy of the rulesthere aro still many accidents in LosAngeles," said Dr. Scholeficlck "Lastyear over 1000 persons were killed. Thecity and motorists together aro con-stantly trying to devise new methodsof reducing tho slaughter. The co-operation of drivers and pedestrians iscommendable."

BRITISH AGRICULTUREPLACE IN OWN MARKET

EMPIRE COMPETITION

BALANCE OF TREATMENT[I'ROM OUR OWN CORRKSPONDKNT]

LONDON, Jan. 4In view of tho return of the National

Government to power in Britain LordCranworth deems the time opportunefor a definite statement of policy de-signed to give a fair balance of treat-ment to the various branches of agri-culture. In a letter to the Times LordCranworth, writing as president of theCentral Landowners' Association, says:

"Adequate production and employ-ment would- automatically follow astable policy to make farming payover a reasonable period of years, butsuch a result ran only bo fully achievedif complete effect is given to tho prin-ciple accepted at tho Ottawa Confer-ence in 1932, that the home producerfs given first claim on tho markets111 this country, reserving second placefor Empire produce. It is recognisedtli.it the Government is faced withgreat difficulties in this connection andwe are by no means ungrateful forthe assistance already given.

Expense of the Nation"'No other country, however, is in

a similar position to Great Britain,with an immense Empire oversea. If,for reasons of State, trade agreementsmust lie entered into with the Domin-ions to tak«» so high a proportion oftheir agricultural produce that our ownfarmers are deprived of a share of ourmarkets, to which they are justly en-titled, then the balance should be ad-justed at the expense of the nation asa whole, and not borne by our homeagriculturists, who constitute not morethan 7 per cent of the total popula-tion. This argument applies withgreater force to similar agreementswith foreign countries. *

"The primary object in the rules ofthe association over which I have nowthe honour to preside reminds its mem-bers that in pressing their case re-gard must be had to tho interests ofthe nation, wh it'll are above thoseof any industry or of any individual.No undue burdens should therefore beplaced on the general taxpayer, andI may be allowed to suggest in conclu-sion that if owners of agriculturalestates are prepared for traditional,personal, or family reasons to accepta fraction of a commercial rate of in-terest on their investment in agricul-tural land and its permanent equip-ment, it would bo to the advantage ofthe Exchequer to encourage them tocarry on.

Death Duties Burden"No comparuble substitute* has yet

been found for the agricultural landlordas a source of cheap capital, and landwith buildings and other equipment rep-resents at least two-thirds of thetotal capital invested in agriculture.No greater encouragement could begiven than by substantial r.elief fromdeath duties, which withdraw capitalmost urgently required for the mainten-ance and improvement of agriculturalholdings. Agricultural property dif-fers from most other forms of invest-ment, as continuous expenditure has tobe incurred year by year to maintainits capacity for the production of food.

"In connection \Yith work of Buchoutstanding importance aa the develop-ment of agricultural production athomo, I would take the opportunity ofadding my support to the plea whichhas been made for raising the statusof the Ministry of Agriculture com-mensurate with the responsibility of thedepartment."

DUMMY REVOLVER

PRISONER'S VAIN BID

SPECIAL PUNISHMENT TERM\

———

A life-sentence prisoner, KennethAubrey Farlow, began his punishmentthe other day for having attempted tobreak out of Parramatta gaol, NewSouth Wales, by presenting a* dummyrevolver between the eyes of a warder.How he obtained the dummy revolveris a mystery.

j The sentence imposed by two magis-trates was that Farlow should be given"28 days' separate treatment." Ineffect, this is a mild form of solitaryconfinement, but not in a dark cell,which is a form of punishment that wasonce administered to recalcitrantprisoners.

Farlow was sentenced to imprison-ment for life for shooting with intentto murder Constable TJlrick in Vau-cluse in July, 1931. Since his sentencehe has been taught a trade in the gaoltailor's shop, and at the inquiry intohis attempted escape he said that,knowing he must spend at least 20years behind prison bars, he decided totry to escape.

When ha induced a warder to openhis cell door by complaining that thocistern was leaking he ran along thepassage enclosed by a grille of ironbars. A sentry, however, had locked thegrille door after the warder entered,and a shot from tho sentry's revolverproved that escape was hopeless. Hisone chance of getting through thegrille depended on whether the warderhad locked the gate which would haveadmitted him to the main portion ofthe gaol.

The "separate treatment," which wasput into operation as a punishment,means that for 28 days the prisonerwill be denied the usual prison dietof porridge, meat, and vegetables. Howill be confined alone in a cell withjust brief periods in an exercise yard,and his food will consist only of breadand water for two periods of seven dayseach. During the other tAvo weeks ofhis sentence lie will bo given only thominimum ration of vegetables orderedby the gaol medical officer as beingnecessary for his health. Throughoutthe whole period ho will not be per-mitted to speak to or even see hisfellow prisoners. This form of punish-ment, mild as it is compared with thoformer solitary confinement, is dreadedby prisoners.

An inquiry was ordered as to howFarlow camo into possession of thedummy revolver. It was a perfect modelof a large pistol, carved out of wood,and about 9in. long. Even the rounded"bullets" in the chamber were paintedsilver to make thein look real. The bar-rel was bored and the trigger cut toregulation size. It is obvious that Far-low was not able to make such a per-fect model in tho tailor's shop. Thereare 300 prisoners in tho gaol, manyof whom are regarded as the mostvicious and probably the cleverestcriminals in Australia. Whether any ofthese men or anyone outside was re-sponsible had to be ascertained.

NOISY FAREWELLLAST CABLE TRAMCAR

SCENE ON MELBOURNE LINE

LARGE BOISTEROUS CROWDScenes of boisterous revelry, which

ended in the arrest of two persons, at-tended the running early the othermorning of the last cable tram on theBrunswick line, Melbourne, followingthe new electrification scheme. Firmnessmingled with tact was exercised by thepolice in controlling the crowd of be-tween 200 and 300 persons who trav-elled on the tram.

When the tram left Leonard Streetat 12.21 a.m. a police wireless patrolcar followed immediately behind it,about 12 constables in uniform and inplain clothes travelled on the tram, anda motor-cycle patrol and car containingtraffic police attempted to regulate thehundreds of motor vehicles which ex-tended for nearly half a mile behind.

Almost as soon as the tram movedoff the electric light globes were re-moved from the trailer and the bellstrap was stolen. In the darkness manyattempts to remove portions of thewoodwork were made. Eventually thepolice were compelled to draw theirbatons to prevent serious damage, andthey struck a number of men lightblows on the hands, arms and shoulders.One man who wrenched portion of thehandrail off its fittings and brandishedthe sharp-pointed stick to the dangerof other passengers was struck by aconstable.

Another man who broke a windowwas arrested. The conductor, FrederickPowell, defended himself with his ticket-book when a man attempted to stealhis cap. Others wrenched at his metalnumber badge and other equipment.After much jostling and tugging in thedarkness a man tore a metal badgebearing the letters "M.T.8." from hisuniform. An unsuccessful attempt wasmade to "souvenir" the cap of the grip-man, W. Pureed.

During the journey the police werecompelled to push about «30 violentlystruggling revellers off the slow-movingtrain. One man who fell, or was pushed,from the tram narrowly escaped beingstruck by a private motor-cycle outfit.

A daring attempt to "souvenir" thebell on top of the dummy was made bya man at the Moreland Road terminus,where about 3000 people had gathered,but after he had successfully dodged aconstable who attempted to dislodgehim by striking him with a strap, hefell to the roadway. Portion of thecrowd hooted loudly. One of the doorsof the sheds was almost forced in, andtramway employees had to prop it withsteel bars and wooden posts. Only th(jhandrail, a window, and a number ofadvertisement-cards were damaged on

the tram.The following day electric trams began

to run between the city and LeonardStreet, and motor-buses continued theservice to Moreland Road. The conduc-tors and gripmen will be employed on

the trams and buses.

STATUS OF NATIVES

FRANCHISE AND, FUTURE

PROBLEM IN SOUTH AFRICA

[from our own correspondent]CAPETOWN, Dec. 12

The South African Native Bills willcreate a sullen race, in the opinion ofProfessor D. D. T. Jabavu, who him-self is a native. At one time, he said,there might have been some groundfor the fear that an extension of thenative franchise would lead to thewhites being swamped, but that wasno longer a plausible excuse. TheWomen's Enfranchisement Act andvarious minor registration regulationshad had the effect of increasing theEuropean vote to more than 880,000and reducing the total of black votersfrom 16,000 to 10,000.

What, he asked, had the native doneto warrant the treatment he was nowreceiving? It seemed to be overlookedthat their educational standard hadgreatly improved and that there wasa growing consciousness of their rightsas human beings. There were to-daymore than 100 native university gradu-ates in the country. It was not theimmediate restrictions of the nativesthat constituted the worst aspect ofthe Native Bills; it was their negationof promise or hope for the future. Thebills, he emphasised, were calculatedto create future generations of Bantuwho would be a sullen menace insteadof an economic asset to South Africa.

Counter proposals to the Governmentbills are being discussed by theBantu leaders. One of the proposalsprovides for a more equitable distri-bution of land within, the Union asbetween natives and Europeans, andseeks to give effect to the recommend-ations of the 1930 International LabourConference.

The second measure is designed "toraise the standard of citizenship inthe Union and to discharge the obliga-tions of trusteeship for backwardpeople implicit in the Union's mem-bership of the League of Nations, andto make provision for the progressiveadvancement of such backward peopleto full citizenship on their attainingto the cultural and educational stand-ards of Western civilisation."

Both measures contain many far-reaching proposals. The first providesfor the creation of a "South AfricanNative Trust," to be administered forthe settlement, support, benefit andmaterial and moral welfare of thenatives. Native leaders emphasise thatby perpetuating land hunger amongnatives by unjust restrictions on theirrights to hold land, the Governmentis condemning them to permanent ser-vitude at a Tow standard of living.

"Their denial to tho natives of alleffective political representation," theysay, "is unjust and unenlightened,having regard to tho fact that thewholo economy of South Africa isbased on native labour. Tho danger ofdenying to a people the right to workthrough constitutional channels for theamelioration of its conditions is sup-ported by a host of historical prece-dents. Attempts to retard the economicand political developments of wholepeoples have often been made in thehistory of the world. One and all theyhave failed."

SCIENCE IN INDUSTRYREALISATION OF VALUE

EXPERIENCE IN BRITAIN

GRANTS MADE BY GOVERNMENT[from our own correspondent]

By Air MailLONDON, Jon. 4-

There is no lack of evidence in theannua* report of the Department o

Scientific and Industrial Research thatBritish industry is showing a growing

realisation of the importance of the

help which science can give at every

stage of the processes of industry.The Advisory Council of the depart-

ment, the chairman of which is LordRutherford, is able, for example, to

point to a very encouraging responseto the offer which the department madelast year to research associations of in-creased Government support, providedthe associations on their part obtainedcorrespondingly increased contributionsfrom the industries they servo. Nego-tiations with 13 out of 18 researchassociations in receipt of financial assis -

ancc from the department have been

completed, and in every case offers ofincreased grants on a new basis havebeen made and accepted.

"The immediate result," the Ad-visory Council states, "has been thatthe associations in question, as a

whole, aro already assured of a 30 percent increase in their resources ascompared with those they commanded18 months ago. With one exceptioneach of these associations now enjoysan income of at least £IO,OOO, theminimum figure which, even in a smallindustry, we can accopt for the incomeof an association whoso future can beconsidered as assured.

Some Examples Quoted"As illustrations of the response

which various industries have made, werecord that tho total income of theIron and Steel Industrial ResearchCouncil is estimated at £31,000 in thecurrent period, compared with £16,,000two years ago, while the income of theElectrical and Allied Industries Re-search Association has increased intwo years from £44,000 to £64,000. Theresources of the Cotton Industry Re-search Association have already in-creased in ono year from £58,000 to£75,000; those of the Paint ResearchAssociation from £9OOO to £14,000; andof the Flour Millers' Research Associa-tion from £7600 to £13,000. These in-creases are due more to industrial sup-port than to Government grants.

"We regard these increases," thereport continues, "as good begin-nings. The grants have been so ad-justed that, within the limits of theoffer, tho more industry contributesthe higher* becomes the rate of grantearned by the total contribution. Thereis thus a double financial inducementto the industries to increase their sup-port for their associations "

While there is "encouraging evi-dence of the chango being broughtabout largely by the wholeheartedefforts of enlightened leaders in ourgreat industries," the Advisory Coun-cil still finds that the scientific out-look of some industries leaves muchto be desired.

Progressive Firms Benefit"Neither in the directorates nor

among the technical and executiveBtaffs is sufficient weight yet given toscientific attainment and experience,"states the report; "and until a radicalchange has taken place in this respect,the position is bound to be that theindustries as a whole will remain un-able to obtain the full benefit of theresults of scientific investigation.

"It is the progressive firms whichengage in investigation and research,whether in their own laboratories orby sharing tho burden of co-operativeeffort, or in both ways, and thesefirms reap the benefits. From thenational point of view it is vitally im-portant to enlarge the circle of scien-tifically-minded firms."

The report emphasises that sciencecan be of service in the workshop asin the laboratory, and it is this linkbetween the workshop and the labora-tory which is the real essential for theapplication of advances in scientificknowledge.

BUSIER RAILWAYS

NEW SOUTH WALES FIGURES

RECENT HOLIDAY SEASON[from oxra own correspondent]

SYDNEY. Jan.„ In the recent holiday season from De-cember 18 to January * 1 inclusive,2,629,559 railway tickets were sold bythe New South Wales Railway Depart-ment, an increase of 206,277 passengers,compared with the corresponding period12 months previously. There were 58,333first-class passengers. The passengerrevenue for the period amounted to£215,000, an increase of £15,090.

The growing popularity of the "any-where to anywhere " policy, which Der-mits of tickets being purchased at anyone point in the State to any otherpoint, at excursion rates during certainperiods of the year, is evidenced bytho fact that 104,000 of these ticketwere issued, as against 83,000 in 1934,an increase, of 21,000. The total revenue.from this particular ijs«ie of tickets was*.£88,500, or an improvement of £12,000over the previous year.

TOUR OF EMPIREPUBLIC SCHOOLBOYS' PARTY

RADIO IN THE HOMEFEATURES FROM IYA

SANDERS CUP RACE RELAY

AUSTRALIAN PROGRAMMESThe programme to-night from IYA

will include at 8.-15 a presentation ofHebridean folk songs rendered by MissRussell-Fergusson, who will play her

own accompaniments on the elarsach.At 9.5 Dr. of the NewSouth Wales Conservatorium of Music,will talk on music, and in the courseof his address will afford listeners someinsight into the mode of musical com-

position. At 9-30 on the same concertprogramme Clement Williams, Aus-tralian baritone, will sing "A FunnyFellow," "Dawn Shall Over LetheBreak," "To My First Love" and "TheMan Who Brings the Sunshine." MissFergusson and Mr. Williams are fea-tured also on the programme for Satur-day evening, along with Mr. GordonShort, pianist, whose numbers will in-clude "Toccata" (Rheinburger), "Studyin D Flat" (Liszt) and "Soiree deVienno" (Strauss).

To-night at 8.30 the GSB-F stationsare scheduled to put on the air an elec-trically recorded commentary on theheavy-weight boxing championship ofGreat Britain between Len Harvey andJack Petersen. On Monday, in con-tinuation of the series of talks oil "HighSpots," the station will deal with theEddystone Lighthouse. On Wednesday,"The Roosters" concert party is todevote an hour to popular music andtopicalities. For "New Zealand Day" aspecial concert party of Dominionartists has been secured, and the pro-gramme will include numbers by ArthurAlexander, piano, and Nora d'Argel,soprano, while Sir James Parr,K.C.M.G., will delivera fifteen minutes'talk.

That Daventry's Empire transmittersput down excellent signal fields through-out the world was amply demonstratedthis week. Reception here in the city,though over an airline distance of some12,000 miles, was technically good, andthis is the more remarkable because ofthe unfavourable seasonal conditions andalso because of the fact that some ofthe transmissions received are not in-tended for reception here. The best all-round results were available on the

| 19 metre band, where, while there wasat times a good deal of surging, thorewas absolutely no morse interference.Rebroadcasts *by American and otherstations would seem to indicate that likeconditions universally obtained as theserebroadcasts lacked little when com-pared with direct reception. It wouldappear, too, from the local rebroadcaststhat the change-over from Brown's Bayhas not been entirely advantageous.

One salient feature emerging fromthe special short-wave broadcasts ofthis week is that great care is necessaryin tho selection of commentators. Ad-mittedly it is impossible to achieve onrelays that same standard of excellenceobtainable when broadcasts are madedirect from the studio. But at the sametime there should not be that dispro-portionate difference in clarity in evid-ence these past few days between theefforts of the studio announcer andthose of the commentator in the field.The very marked superiority of thostudio announcements drives one to theconclusion that the deep and ratherbooming voice of the commentator was

! quite unsuitable and conversely that| the ideal type of voice for land line

! relays is a light, crisp one, unhurried,I of even intonation and precise in de-livery.

I \If the unusually good reception condi-

; tions of these past few nights obtainNew Zealand listeners will be able totake advantage of the excellent pro-grammes offering each night this weekby the Australian network. On Thurs-

I day at 10 p.m. "Der Rosenkavalier,"1 written by Richard Strauss, is to be

| broadcast. On Friday, at the same time,"Tho Saga of Minnie Miifin," a fantasyof the 'fifties, will be put on the air andwill be followed by a symphonic or-chestra programme with Isidor Good-man contributing the piano solo items.On Saturday the National MilitaryBand and the Mastersingers Quartetwill contribute the early portion of theevening programme. The latter portion,a revue, "The Duchess Was Furious,"will be played by the A.B.C. RevueCompany.

The Auckland station carried out itsinitial descriptive relays on the SandersCup race by the utilisation of a specialshort-wave transmitter feeding into themain plant through a receiver. Condi-tions considered, this transmitter hasproved well up to its task and whilethe method has some drawbacks ascompared with landline relays, it can-not be gainsaid that tho portable plantis superior for such broadcasts. Thetechnical shortcomings of the low powershort-wave transmitter are dwarfed bythe opportunities afforded for closercontact with the various craft, as yachtraces are devious affairs in which thestraight line, mark to mark, is not thequickest method of sailing the course.The regatta commentary was made fromthe tower on tho King's Wharf and thebroadcast of the official results wasmuch appreciated by competitors.

The recently-developed high fidelityreceivers are proving decidedly popularin spite of their price premiums, thusindicating an increasingly critical atti-tude toward quality output from re-ceivers. It has been found, however,that high fidelity receivers are notoperated correctly to secure faithful re-production. They are invariably em-ployed with the tone control much toofar toward the "mellow" side, thusattenuating tho high notes and em-phasising tho base ones. Only in rareinstances has it been found that setowners prefer tho "brilliant" side of

! the tone control. There ha\re been anumber of psychological reasons ad-vanced for this preference for a do-based and unbalanced tone combina-tion quite at variance with fidelity re-production, but tho generally-acceptedtheory is that the mellowness is de-sired because in that position of thecontrol extraneous noises are masked.

DOESN'T the old song "Down Vauxhall Way" take you back? As you

listen to its familiar melody can't you see the lovely ladies strollingwith their gallant gentlemen in the beautiful old gardens at Vauxhall,

the rendezvous of all fashionable London from the days of that sly dog

Samuel Pepys, down to the times of the exquisite Beau Brummell?

In those days to be in the fashion was to be seen in Vauxhall Gardens;to-day it is to be seen in a Vauxhall motor car. And just as two hundred

yeais ago the word "Vauxhall" signified everything that was elegant and

magnificent, the summit of social achievement, so to-day it still stands for allthat is fashionable and up-to-date—the Aristocrat of the motor car world.

ACROSS THE YEARSBr JOHN- B. CAMERON

Old Sam sat on a stool outside thecottage door, busily mending his net.

" Dang me," he murmured, " 'tisno sooner mendit than all over again."

Behind him the gulf waters shim-mered blue in the warm sun and justoff-shore his fourteen-footer rode lazilyat anchor.

The short creamy boach, with itscrescent of brown weed from the sea,merged into lofty broken cliffs, reach-ing out in tumbled boulders and hugejagged rocks, as if some giant handhad thrown them in scattered fury. Asedate shag perched on the outermostrock like an image carved in ebony, instriking contrast to the sheeny greenand blue of a patient kingfisher wait-ing alert on Sam's net-hold—a crookedmanuka pole planted upright in the seabed. Overhead a few mackerel gullscircled aimlessly, now and then alight-ing to join their companions, quarrel-some and noisy, as they preened theirfeathers on the grassy bank almostunder Sara's feet. A pcit of tar and ahammer on an upturned punt denotedrepairs were under way. At intervalsSam looked along the beach to the farcliff, where the rising tide would soonbar the beach track.

As the tide rose his gaze shifted tothe bold spur that ran inland from theprecipice. A narrow sheep-track zig-zagged irregularly down hilK and lostitself in a clump of native bush be-hind the dilapidated smoke-house,emerging again at a ragged pile of driftwood and, skirting the tea-tree brushfence of the flower garden, becameelusive and lost among a litter ofbarnacle-covered boards, tar barrels,broken planks and other spoils of thesea.

As Sam shook out the net, gullssoared in screeching halo round hishead, and settled softh once more totheir playful wrangling. Presently afaint "Hallo " floated smoothly on thestill air. Sam looked up and waved astumpy pipe in grave salute, and a

quite unwarranted sigh escaped him.The hail of his old mate brought satis-faction to him, a soothing peace not tobe appreciated or understood by thosebored with a surfeit of companionship.

Up on the hill, clear cut against theblue sky, stood old Ted With handsshading' his eyes, he peered out overthe islands of the gulf, a seascapefamous in history, wheji the Maori,raw and primitive, held sway, andviewed with wonder and alarm thegreat white-winged craft of early ex-ploration. Hut Ted's survey was con-cerned only with the weatlier prospects.The spot where the adventurousDTJrville once anch:m»d the PrinceHegent had no immediate interest forhim. Away to the east glistened abeautiful broad reach of tidal river, upwhich Captain Cruise and his merrymen once pulled their whaleboat insearch of a waterway from the " \V.v-teematta '' to the " Manakou." Tam-aki Makau-rau, " the spouse contestedlor by a hundred lovers," lay like apainted picture far below, shimmeringin the haze of a reflected sun.

And over those undulating hills, awaysouth, the intrepid Marsden made thefirst white man's journey on foot from" sea to sea through tangled massesof tea-tree and fern, over broken up-heavals of lava and shallow rock-strewngullies, through swamp and bush, toeventually stand on the pinnacle of hisdesire.

Ted came down the hill in jerkyspiisins, encumbered with an ill-balancedload of junk deemed essential to a per-fect repair job on the punt. Sam'sgreeting was cordial as usual.

" Where you been, you old scare-crow?"

A NEW ZEALAND STORY(COPYRIGHT)

Ted dumped his load at Sam's feetand wiped a clammy brow with hisforearm.

"There y' are, you bandy-leggedbuzzard," he said, and they bothlaughed, like pleased children.

Sam was short, rugged and stout,his hair grey and untidily abundant;bushy eyebrows and wind-tossedwhiskers almost buried his whimsicalsmile, but not the Bardolphian nosethat rose clear and bald above its hir-sute surroundings.

» * * • •

It was a bitter blow to Sam when hiswife died—long ago. She had been thedominating urge of his life. He had de-pended on her, without realising theextent of his dependence. Left to him-self, life became a perpetual search forescape from something he felt keenly,but could not define. He grew to fearthe solitude that hovered over the oldcottage. Little evanescent things hurthim horribly. Not the hurt of a physicalblow—Sam could understand that—butthe pain of a lost continuity, the vagueelusiveness of a new and stunning help-lessness. The old urge to action hadslowed down, bereft of that mentalstimulus to which he had so long re-sponded. For long years he had satdejectedly on a derelict log, half buriedon the beach, his head held in his oldtar-stained hands, gazing miserably outover the familiar little bay. It lookedso different, he seemed to be seeing itfor the first time. Vaguely he sensed theplacid surface was an illusion, for, likethe heart of man in the course of afew hours profound peace becametroublesome turmoil.

And just when Sam had reached thedarkest shades of lonelineses and de-spair, his friend to be came round thocliff track, a wizened, dingy little manwith a sack swung over his shoulder.

Ordinarily Ted would have avoided astranger, but that pathetic figure on'the log moved him strangely. For oncelie felt 110 misgivings as he slowlyshuffled up. and placing a thin claw-likehand on Sam's shoulder, said, gently:" Hello, mate, you look all-sorts."Sam stirred with a hopeless gesture,and looked up. For a moment it seemedthat the intrusion would be resented.

But their eyes met, and slowly, some-thing of the old cheerful spirit re-turned, a feeble smile flittered acrossSam's careworn face, and, almostagainst his will, he replied:

" .Me, oh I'm as right as a bank."They sat together and talked. Simplewords that subtly convey an overpower-ing comfort (o flic afflicted. And sothe first flicker of friendship was bornThe sun sank unnoticed behind the hillsand Sam's troubled soul gradually grewtranquil as the starry night, lie hadfound some thread of sympathy runningthrough the fabric of his grief. Hisburden shared, became as thistledown.I he poignancy of his unfathomedlonging vanished, and life once morethrobbed like the passionate thing itused to be.

But all that had been long aexo. Notforgotten, but relegated with the pass-ing years to its inevitable place in thedim recesses of two brave old hearts—-cloaked in ribald jest, and crude re-partee, but nonetheless a sure founda-tion lor the fullness of their incon-sequent lives.

The two cronies haggled joyfully overtheir set task.At times the argument became loud

and fierce. Hot words passed to andfro with a frequency that made violenceseem imminent.Hut it was all pretence,- and woo be-

tide the ill-advised peacemaker thatdare intervene." Go an' git the bradawl, blast

.v ," said Sam, as ho bruised his thumbnailing a fractious patch of coppersheeting over a crack.. Ted laid downthe tar brush, wiped bis fingers on histrousers and went up to the cottage.

Minutes went by before he reapparedat the /loor.Where is flic dang thing?" heroared, with a scowl.

Sam looked up with well simulateddisgust.

" Might a-known it was no goodsending you," he growled, and waddled

up to show his no-good mate how anerrand should be executed.

The old sea-chest was open, and rustytools that cnce shone bravely in Clydeshipyards were strewn about the floorof the living room in tangled confusion.Sam stepped over them and commencedto root noisily in the box. Augers,braces, cramps, all in a condition ofscaly rust, piled up behind him. Ashaft of sunlight from the little four-paned window made a playground formillions of tiny dust specks tomanoeuvre in silent rhythm within thesharp cut boundaries of its rays.

Ted wandered aimlessly about theroom, peering into corners, and in thefireplace. He even examined the smoke-blackened ceiling, the while his thinpinched features carried a smile oftriumph.

The expected explosion came at last." You 'ad it last, you danged weasel,

where'd v' put it?'' Sam loudly de-manded. Ted straightened his face in-stantly, and, with conciliating concern,said humbly.

" I'll have a look in the shed."Safely outside, he looked heaven-

wards till his neck cricked, and broughtboth his hands down with a whack onhis knees, while a suppressed chucklefloated away tip to the huge gnarledChristmas tree that clung tenaciouslyto the cliff overhead, and spread ascarlet carpet of fallen petals.

Sam continued his search amongclumps of pink coral, behind the full-rigged ship in a pickle bottle, and underthe globe of wax flowers. Even thebookshelf containing Manuals ofNavigation and Seamanship, so old thattliey hacl become curiosities rather thanguides, seemed a likely place to Samfor a lost bradawl.

When Ted peeped round the door-way a little later to see if it were safetft report, ho was surprised to see Samsitting on the edge of the tool-chest,an open book on his lap, steadfastlygazing away beyond the lithograph of"The Ship Euterpe," his head perkedbird-like, in a strange statuesquequietude. On the open book lay apressed flower, a faded sprig of forget-me-not, flat, dull and brittle. As helistened, Sam murmured:

"Minnie—ah—Minnie," and joyfulmemories built a.crinkle of smiles allover his face.

He was transported across the yearsto swing hand-in-hand again with hisbeloved Minnie, to bathe hot feet incooling pools, and splash recklessly inan ecstasy of jubilant youth—and homeagain to tea, up the old brick pavedgarden path where sweetest perfumes—-he could smell them now—-

"Wot vou sniflin' at?" said Ted sud-denly, and Sam jumped.

His smile still lingered."Look 'ere, boy," he said, tenderly

holding up the old time token. Tedapproached cautiously.

"Well, wot about it?" ho growled,poWng the dead emblem with a tarrylinger.

"Look at it. I tell you, look at it,"Sam urged earnestly, and again thatfar-away look pierced the bulbous oil-lamp that swung from the low ceiling,and sped on its way to happ.v irrespon-sible days of sunshine and frolic.

"Oh, boy, them was the days," hemurmured, his. old head rigidly trem-bling in concentrated effort to recallevery particle of his lost romance."Minnie—we 'eld 'nnds all the way-nine miles o' corduroy—'leven times 1'ad to carry 'or across the creek—dark—couldn't see me 'ami—me an' .Min-nie—oil, boy—-we danced all night—French Mlll net—accordion —fiddle— lion-lire out in the elearin'—an' Minniesang—like a bird—to the twmklin'stars—ah, Minnie—can't you see 'crnow—"

"See wat?" said Ted, n little be-wildered, but Sam was still under thespell.

"—an me," he continued, "I 'ad onme bell-bottoms —dinky little mo' —hartificial flower in me button-'ole—-stror 'at an' all—l looked—looked—"

"Yes," said Ted, brutally, "youwould."

Then Sam dropped liomance over-board and spoke feelingly,

"It's no use talking to you aboutanything, you 'atchet-laced son of agun," and relapsing once more intosentiment, "You never 1100 wot lovecould do—real love —to 'ave someoneto lay your 'ead on—you got no 'eart,"and carried away by his own rhetoric,bowed his head, and subsided intosilence.

'lf'd was immediately all sympathy.He felt he had been a little too hard—-but there—-

"l'm sorry, mate," he said softly."I didn't know—l didn't mean nothin'—but Sam, 1 'ave got a 'eart—l 'ave."

He continued to pat Sam's backgently.

"We'll go an' see 'er grave," hepurred reverently.

Sam started violently."Wot—whose grave?" he said

sharply."Why, Minnie's, o' course, you big

dugong, an' we 11 put some lovelyflowers all over it—plant 'em proper—-not just chuck 'em ont Sam, an' we'llput some o' them there don't-forget-mes all round 'er."

"No," said Sain, firmly."Why," said Ted, in wonder, "you

ain't bin to 'er grave since I knowedyou."" 'Ow can I go to 'er grave when Idon't know where she is buried?" saidSam, with some irritation."Wot," said Ted, in surprised tones,"didn't you go to 'er funeral?"

I' uneral, ' roared Sam, "no, dam-mit, 1 ilon t even know if she's deadyet."

My Gawd," said Ted, rolling hiseyes to heaven, and throwing his handsup in horror, "buried alive, an' you—-you—"Yes, me," said Sam, belligerentlyrising and poking his face into Ted's,

led retreated with discretion."Come here, you miserable lizard,"said Sam, grabbing a handful of Ted'sshirt and pulling him over to themantelshelf.

He reached down a dusty album ofred plush, and celluloid, and turnedthe thick mildew-spotted leaves."There, 1 ' he said at last, pointing a

stubby stained finger."Who's that?" said Ted, looking at

the faded print, of a lady with enormousbustle and tall poke bonnet, standingstiffly by a painted rock.

"That," said Sam, with emphasis,"is Eliza."

"Eliza," echoed Ted, still a bitfogged,

"Yes," said Sam, "the one as Iburied—a good 'un too," he addedgallantly. Ted's face slowly cleared.

"Oil, htf," lie chuckled, then slappingSam admiringly on the shoulder, "youdarn ole hedgehog, you are a one."

Sam accepted his due with a broadsmile and becomii.g modesty, and threwthe album under the horse-hair couch.

MELBOURNE MINT

HEAD OFFICIAL RETIRES

EARLY DAYS RECALLED[from OI'R OWN correspondent]

MELBOURNE. Jan. IBA man through whose hands have

passed £'l2-5,000.000 has left Melbourneto live on a modest pension in theGippsland Mountains. He is Mr. HughD. McCay, who has just retired fromthe position of Deputy-Master of theMelbourne Mint. That means that hehas been in charge of the money-mak-ing activities of Australia, for theMaster of all Hritish mints is theChancellor of the Exchequer.

Mr. McCay had been 011 the staffof the .Mint for 17 years, joiningas a junior clerk. lie served inall technical departments. In 15)26 hewent to England as deputy-superin-tendent of the London' Mint, and hereturned to Melbourne in 1932 asdeputy-master. In the whole of his termin Melbourne Mr. McCay could recallonly one robbery from the Mint. Thatwas in 1006, when £2OOO was stolen.Mr. McCay has carried a revolver allhis life, but he has never had occa-sion to fire a shot from it

When Mr. McCay first entered theservice the "scare" caused bv the ac-tivities of the Ned Kelly gang ledto an elaborate system of bells andalarms bein« installed at the Mint.These included push-buttons undercounters in the workshops, the ideabeing that these would be pressed bythe foot if hands were required tobe raised at the request of a Kellygangster. The bells were a form ofinsurance which never had to be usedseriously. ,

FIJI MINING

SHARP FALL IN SHARES

ADVERSE LOLOMA REPORT

HEAVY SELLING PRESSURE

A disappointing report received fromLoloma (Fiji) Gold, N.L., resulted ina sharp drop in values for all Fijiissues on the Melbourne Stock Ex-change some days ago. "Bears" oper-ate! I freely and most stocks were sub-ject to heavy stilling pressure. TheLoloma report, which is given in de-tail in the mining news elsewhere onthis stated that the crosscutfrom the main shaft in the last 20.Jft.to the apparent footwall averaged only12 grains a ton.

Since the peak prices for Fijianshares were reached in August andSeptember last year, the aggregatemarket, valuations of the three lead-ing companies has dropped £1,915,000,according to a compilation made bythe .Melbourne Herald on January 17.the following table is based on prices

at August 28: Loloma, £5 10s (3sshares); Emperor, 265; Koroere, 28s(Emperor and Koroere shortly aftertouched 29s 6d and 33s 3d respect-ively) :

* Now Is fid pnirl.Commenting on the Loloma develop-I

mem, Mr. P. F. Cody, a director of Ithe company, said that until further ;information was available the public 'should not become "panicky," as al-ready much y;old had been proved in !the mine. Mr. Cody continued that jonly by driving along the lode at the jpoint where'the low values were en-countered could the actual value of thelode at that depth lie determined. Herecalled that Mr. E. G. Banks.- an-other director of the company, inAugust last said that a conservativeestimate of the ore proved at that jdate, based on a depth of the orebody to 100ft., was 100,000 tons, hav-ing an average value of 2joz. a ton.With gold at. £8 an ounce in Austra-lian currency, this ore would give avalue of £2,000.000. Mr. Cody saidthat these values, already proved,could not be affected by the latestmine report.

On the Auckland Exchange there hasbeen a steady decline in prices sinceAugust last year. In that month,Lolomas (3s paid) sold up to 100s;Emperors (10s paid), to 29s 6d; andKoroeres (3s paid), to 30s. Lolomas(Is 6d paid) are worth now about 275;Emperors, 13s Gd; Koroeres being un-quoted.

LEVY ON BEEF

QUEENSLAND OPPOSITION

Queensland cattle producers willstrongly resist the imposition by GreatBritain of a levy on Australian beef,according to a statement made by thepresident of the United Graziers' As-sociation, Mr. Norman Bourke. The in-troduction of a levy on the lines sug-gested last year would virtually soundthe death-knell of the cattle-raising in-dustry in North Queensland. Mr.Bourko said. From the outset Queens-land had set her face against the levy.

BUTTER IN LONDON

RECENT RISE AND FALL

SERIOUS DISLOCATION

MARGARINE SALES INCREASE

The sharp advance on the Londonbutter market in September-Octoberlast .year and the subsequent fall inprices seriously dislocated normal trad-ing, and it is unlikely that the experi-ence will be repeated in a hurry.

Commenting 011 the mnrkrt in De-cember, Samuel Page and Son.Limited. London, states that the dis-turbance which followed upon the ab-normally high prices in the early partof October was more severe than couldhave been anticipated and margarinereaped a considerable benefit, the aver-age output during November being over400 tons larger than in the same monthof 1934. However, the greatly reducedprices of butter during the succeedingeight weeks should have largely cor-rected the damage and there was goodreason for expecting an improved con-sumptive demand in the new year.

The firm states that if an opinionwere based solely on statistics, a risein values during December might havebeen expected. Total imports of butterinto the United Kingdom in Novembershowed a decrease of 119,219cwt., com-pared with the previous month. How-ever, values at December 17 showed afall of 17s per cwt. in New Zealand andAustralian from the quotations of fourweeks previously. During this periodthere were a few spurts in the demand,but no continuously active trade; themarket had oh the whole ruled weakand irregular. Danish was the only de-scription that withstood the general de-pression and this notwithstanding thatimports from Denmark in Novemberwere roughly 20,000cwt. more than inthe corresponding month of the previ-ous year and 5000cwt. more than inOctober.

SYNTHETIC WOOL

NEW ITALIAN FIBRE

LOW SULPHUR CONTENT

Details of the now synthetic wool in-vented by Coinmendatore A. Ferretti,of Milan, and made from caseinhave been received by the Hon. D. G.Sullivan, Minister in charge of theScientific and Industrial Research De-partment.

Mr. Sullivan said the inventor hadaimed at obtaining as nearly as pos-sible the same elementary compositionlor synthetic wool (lanital fibre), as forsheep wool, and the content of carbon,hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen ap-proximated very closely. There was,however, less sulphur in the syntheticwool, and lie understood that this wasa factor which was of importance inthe relation to the elasticity of thematerial.

"The inventor claims that by June.1936, his factory will be producingabout 60,0001b. a day," said Mr. Sulli-van. "The base of the synthetic wool iscasein, and the same machinery is usedas for the production of rayon, except

that the machines for chemical pre-paration of the paste have to be builtseparately. The inventor claims that thepresent cost of synthetic wool is 40 percent less than that of the best Aus-tralian wool.

"In a report on the wool by Brad-ford Technical College, Professor Midg-ley states that in sulphuric acid thefibre swells in a similar manner to wool,and when dyed with acid coloursthe fibre takes up much more colourthan wool of similar quality, it doesnot appear to possess the natural wavi-ness or crimpiness present in wool, al-though it can be produced in any lengthof staple or diameter of fibre."

The Italian discovery was announcedin October and it was stated that thesynthetic fibre would enable Italy todefeat wool sanctions. However, reportson the new fibre, from Bradford andBerlin, were not favourable.

SALES AT WELLINGTON

£725,501 KEALISED TO DATE

The cheque lor the second Welling-ton wool sale, held on January b,totalled £395,858. A total of 30,182bales was sold, averaging .£l3 2s .'id abale. At the January sale last year thegross realisation was £221,293 from23.310 bales, averaging £9 14s Id abale.

_TThe two sales held in Wellington sofar this season have realised a totalof £725.501, compared with £333,601 forthe December-January sales of lastseason, and £1,052,818 for the corres-ponding sales of the 1933-34 season.

GERMANY'S NEEDS

BUYING HEAVILY REDUCED

Discussing recently the German wool-buying position, Mr. J. P. Abbott,president of the Graziers' Associationof New South Wales, said Germanyhad bought comparatively little woolin the Australian markets to date thisseason, but there was a time whenGermany was a very substantial buyerand Australian wool interests desiredto see that time come again." Forced by her inability to estab-

lish foreign credits. Germany has de-veloped a number of ilses tor fibre forwhich it is really unsuited, and if wecan so influence the course of tradepolicy as to enable Germany to makesubstantia) purchases of wool, artificialfibres will, for a number of purposes,fall into disuse " said Mr. Abbott." There is a tremendous market in theworld for products both, natural andartificial and, as long as the avenuesof trade can be opened so that demandcan have access to supply, woolgrowersneed not fear the development ofartificial fibres. Wool will continue instrong demand for its own peculiarqualities, at least if graziers take actionto provide publicity for wool adequateto keep before the public- those qualitiesand the uses t.o which wool may bedevoted.k " Unless the future witnesses theremoval of trade restrictions, however,(lie position will be much more serious.If trade movements are to remain con-fined in water-tight compartments, thenthe manufacture of artificial substitutesfor natural fibres may take firm rootin tlu? areas where they are estab-lished and quickly develop a numberof highly protected industries. Theeffect on the wool market might wellbe disastrous."

NEED FOR CONFIDENCENEW GOVERNMENT'S TASK

BURDEN OF HIGH TAXES

IMPEDIMENT TO PROGRESSThe need for restoring and maintain-

ing confidence in the capital market wasurged hv Mr. H. Kitson, chairman ofthe Christchurch Stock Exchange, in hisaddress at the annual meeting thisweek.

"The most pressing problem thatconfronts the Government is to find asafe and certain way of hastening therecovery of business, so that the wage-earner will have a job. the farmer aprofitable market and the security-

holder a dependable source of income."said Mr. Kitson. "Unfortunately it isnot within the power of the Govern-ment to restore business to a prosperousbasis through hortatory measures orlegislative panaceas. About the mostthat the Government can do is to re-move the obstacles which impede eco-nomic recovery. Prosperity cannot berestored by public works expenditurealone, which should be used only as ameans to an end. This tiding overmust bo kept in proportion to thenational income; if it is not, we will beonce more faced with unbalanced bud-gets.

"Unbalanced budgets tend to under-mine confidence in the stability of theGovernment, while burdensome taxesnot only dampen the spirit of enter-prise but work a hardship on every tax-payer. The burden of high taxes isfelt even more acutely by those whowant to find work and cannot find it.When face to face with the prospect ofhigh tax rates, business men are afraidto go ahead with their plans lest taxesprove so heavy that ventures will beunprofitable. The result is that newcapital investments are not made, andthe labour that would be required invarious construction projects is notemployed.

"In view of the fact that nearly everycountry has set up tariffs and quotasfor the purpose of restricting imports,and foreign currencies have been de-preciated, it is difficult to see how andwhen our exchange rate can be forcedback to par 011 sterling. It is quiteprobable that without the Reserve Bankour rate would be further off sterlingthan* it is to-day."

Referring to the mining share market.Mr. Kitson said there had been agradual disappearance of wild specula-tion in gold-mining stock. There werestill quite a few gold-mining companieswhose shareholders could only look for-ward to liquidation as a means of re-covering any part of their capital.Some gold-mining companies werestanding up to the test of time andwere, and probably would be for someyears, paying dividends to their share-holders.

WAIKATO STOCKMARKETS REMAIN FIRM

GREAT BUOYANCY IN SHEItP

BEEF PRICES MAINTAINEDWith a recorded rainfall of 7in. for

the month there is an abundance of.pasture and continued firmness in themarkets.

The sheep business is in full-swingand threat buoyancy continues. The re-ception accorded lambs in the openingsales created surprise, but the en-thusiasm vch ich this week greeted breed-ing ewes, seems likely to set up a re-action that may have undesirable con-sequences. At the moment all senseof relationship seems to be lost lx>-tween the value of a ewe and whatnormally can he obtained from fann-ing it. It is safe to say that not manyfarmers have averaged 20s throughoutfor their lambs this season.

The export value of a fat ewe isabout 13s, so that with five-year-oldewes at 30s or thereabouts there re-mains only the wool as profit, andthis could be grown at less expense o:ndry sheep. Realising this, many havedetermined to retain in their flocksthose ewes that normally would be ex-ported, or, since the market locally isso strong, to pass thein on to othersfor breeding purposes. It is evident,that should either of these methods beto any extent employed the need forimported sheep will be greatly dimin-ished, and if, as is commonly reported,the supply is to he greater than usual, aglut can scarcely he averted.

Lambs, through their greater sup-ply, have already declined from theopening rates and arc now availableat nearer their true proportionatevalue. This week's further advance inthe freezing schedule to Hd also helpsto adjust the relationship. No doubtas greater supplies of ewes come for-ward a similar tendency will operate,but in any event the absence of ahigher export rate is a circumstancethat cannot fail to exert an adverseoi" at least an unsettling influence. '

Conditions as they affect the sepa-rate rections are: —

MUTTONThis is unquestionably the weakest flec-

tion of the stock branch. Tuesday's_ entryat Frankton was small, but the demandwas weak, notwithstanding, the bulk of thewethers selling at 24s and under, withonly or.e lot in advance of that figure, thisselling at 25a 3d. Ewes were also weak,but those on the watch for breeding esyeskept any lots suitable, above the rulingmutton rates. Lambs were again in fairsupply and were well competed for an theBchtdule basis. The best of these sold to22s (id: medium. 19s to 20s ; light, from 17sRd.

STORE CATTLEThis branch is extremely active and the

buying keenness was well displayed at a• special sale of station cattle at Morrins-

ville last Friday. Values that would havei been thought possible in the spring only! were readily obtained and. although thej line was a sizable one of 250 head, it wasj quit*- inadequate for requirements. Three1 and four-year steers sold from £7 10b to| £3 10s, and cattle a year younger from! £6 5s to £7 12s. For all other classes therej iB an excellent demand. Even the mediocre

lots, which at this time of the year usuallyj suffer neglect, receive their full share of1 attention.j STORE SBEEP

The most sanguine hopes expressed concernintr breeding ewes have been fully sup-ported" by the sale results. The opening was

j made at Raglan last week, where a shocki was administered that started many pros-

pective buyers on an early home journey.The quality of the entry was middling,but a high-class yarding could not havebeen more generously valued. Small two-tooths made from 32s to 375: six and eight-tooth. 32s 6d to 33s 6d; five-year-old, 29sto Sis; sis-year-old, 24s to 2Ss. It would,however, be unwise to accept this &s astandard and at fairs held since better sheephave been disposed of for less money. Asmentioned previously it seema certain thatpresent rates will lessejj the volume ofbusiness, and it is to the interest of allparties that a speedy reduction should takeplace. Lambs, notwithstanding the advanceof id in the export schedule since theopening event, have receded considerablyand are only now beginning to show afair margin of profit.

AIR FORCE SKILL

%

TRUSTWORTHY MACHINES

PAST YEAR'S GOOD RECORD

{VERY FEW FATAL ACCIDENTS

[from our own correspondent]By Air Mail

LONDON, Jan. 4

Seven days before the end of 1935the Royal Air Force accidents chronicleof the year speaks eloquently of theskill of British service aviators andthe .trustworthiness and efficiency ofBritish aeroplanes and engines. In thepast 12 months Royal Air Force aero-planes have flown more hours eventhan in 1934, which set a record, andhave covered at a most conservativeestimate no less than 50.000,000 miles—equal to 2000 journeys round theearth at the equator.

Yet the number of serious accidents,in spite of the increased amount offlying and the growth of the service,

' compares favourably with previousyears, and the two-year period 1934-35is far better than any similar periodin the history of the service.

Flying-Boat Disaster

In all 41 men have lost their livesin 25 Air Force flying accidents inthe year, nine of them in one disasterto a flying-boat, which flew into a hill-side in cloud. The previous year's cor-responding figures were 31 and 20. In1921, when the service was about one-quarter of its present size and its aero-planes flew only about 5,000,000 miles,37 men were killed in 22 accidents.That year every 2238 hours' flying wasattended by a death; in 1934 and 1935the figure has risen to approximately12,000 hours.

In considering the number of fatalaccidents it has to be rememberedthat the Royal Air Force is chargedwith patrol and policing duties over1.000,000 square miles of territory. Itsaeroplanes fly daily in three conti-nents, much of the time over perilouscountry, where engine failure wouldmean disaster. Even in tho BritishIsles the service endures much bad-weather fl%*ing. The past year's recordis the more striking in view of theincreased flying done in air exercisesand manoeuvres that were conductedas far as possible in conditions closelysimulating those of active service.

Higher Navigation StandardsMuch of the credit for improvement

in the accidents record, especiallymarked in 1934 and 1935, must goto extension of the instructional periodof service pilots and to the introduc-tion of blind flying and higher stand-ards of navigation. But perhaps evenmore credit must go to the modernBritish airframe and aero engine.

Mechanical failure is now extremelyrare. Engines" commonly run 400 to500 hours without overhaul. Airframesare inspected every 1000 hours and usu-ally are sent back into service withno more than a few replacements. Itmay be truly stated that trouble witha modern British war aeroplane is neverexpected and occurs most infrequently.One squadron, for example, reportedrecently one forced landing, and thatwithout damage, in the course of 1700hours of squadron flying.

WEATHER AND LARGE ENTRIES CONTRIBUTE TOWARD THE SUCCESS OF! THE ANNIVERSARY ~ REGATTA

FIFTY YEARS AGOPOPULARITY OP REGATTA:

PRIZES TOTALLING £3OO

LARGE CROWDS ON WHARVISSAucklanders were not favoured with

such fine weather on Anniversary Day50 years ago as marked the holiday yes-terday, yet interest in the regatta was

not diminished, and large crowds gath-ered on the waterfront to watch theaquatic events which have been heldon this day since the early years of thecity. Commenting on the carnival, theNew Zealand Herald of January 30,1886, said:—

"Although other events were aban-doned on account of the unpropitiousweather, the regatta was held in itsentirety and was a great success. Theregattas held in this port in the pasthave always been the pride of Auck-landers, and as a proof of the estima-tion in whicli they are held by thepublic, it is only necessary to point tothe liberal manner in which they havebeen subscribed to.

"When arrangements for holdingthe regatta were being first considered,it was suggested by some that it hadbetter be allowed to lapse this year,as with the hard times, sufficient sub-scriptions would not be forthcoming tomake a decent show with the prizes.In spite of these discouragements thecommittee set to work, with the resultthat prizes aggregating £3OO wereoffered.

"If any further proof were needed toconvince the most sceptical of thepopularity of these regattas, we haveonly to point to the crowd that as-sembled on the wharves and shippingyesterday, in spite of the extremelyinclement weather. At the time thewhaleboat race was pulled it is es-timated there were fully 3500 peoplepresent."

The events included races for trad-ing vessels, yachts, fishing boats, opensailing boats, merchant vessels' gigs,whaleboats, dinghies, and warship andnaval brigade cutters.

RETURNING PROSPERITY

PAST YEAR IN VICTORIA

FACTORIES MUCH BUSIER

A general industrial improrementbrought renewed prosperity to Vic-toria in 1935. The year 1934 had theadvantage of the fillip given by thecelebration of the State's centenary,but comparisons are still favourable to1935. The gains are more widely spread.The rural industries have progressed aswell as the urban.

factories in general are increasingtheir outputs under the pressure of astrong buying demand, and quite anumber of them are well behind withtheir deliveries, notwithstanding in-creases to plant and equipment, ad-ditions to the number of employees andovertime and double shift working. Anindication of the movement is affordedby production statistics of a number offactories. They show approximate in-creases for boots of 10 per cent, andfor furniture of 15 per cent, with somefactories doing double the previousyear's output. Woollen mills and cloth-ing factories report much increasedactivities.

STEWARDS' INQUIRYINTERFERENCE TO WHIRLWIND

After the running of the SuburbanHandicap at Ellerslie yesterday th<>judicial committee of the TakapunaJockey Club held an inquiry regardingpome interference to Whirling. It wa»found that the interference was dueto Gloucester running about, but theoccurrence was unavoidable and not dueto careless or incompetent riding onthe part of S. Tremain, who rodoGloucester.

NOTES ON THE RACING

VALISE SCORES NTCELY

\ SPRINT EVENT TO REREATU

; VICTORY FOR TUAHEAHE

3 BY ARCHER> Form worked out well in the Moana• Handicap, when, in the absence of tho' first day's winner, Valise scored very

j decisively. The winner is an improving. three-year-old filly by Vaals and she, finished very resolutely on the rails to

- win from Red Flame, who displayedbrilliant speed early, only to be tiring

> quickly at the end. Mainland came; a good way back to get third and tho[ relative to Pegaway may not be long

in opening her winning account. Glen-acre, The Vamp and Orefield did bestof the others, although Solas showed upprominently to the turn, only to fadeaway in the straight. Tho placeite, High Quality, drew about themiddle of tho field at the barrier and

, was never dangerous.King Tut Improved

! The each-way favourite King Tutgained a decisive victory in the Wai-wera High-Weight Handicap after beingpatiently handled by J. F. Fergus andcoming with a well-timed run on the

1 outside in the straight. As on the firstday, Tea Chat made most of the run-ning and- he was the leader into thestraight from Dark Marble, who movedup very sharply from the rear alongthe back, Lap Up anil L'Allegro, whowere all close. King Tut was just inbehind them at this stage and he wenton very resolutely when the prqssurowas applied. The winner is a solid typoof gelding, who has been making steadyimprovement, and he looks a likely onoto make a capable hurdler. L'Allegroran another good race and Dark Marble ijalso made a fine showing, failing only jnear the end. j

An outsider, Gloucester, was respon-sible for a surprise in winning tho iSuburban Handicap, for which Whirlingand Bcllkvrinn were the favourites. Inspite of the fact that he drew No. 10at the barrier, Gloucester soon ran intoa handy position behind tho pace-makers, Sweet Rose and Bellkyrian, andcame through on the inside in thestraight to score nicely from Bellkyrian,who battled on gamely even thoughSweet Rose bored out on her in thestraight. Fieetwind did not jump outtoo cleanly, but she ran a good racofor third without having any tho bestof the running. Sweet Hose again dis-played speed, weakening into fourthposition only near the end. Whirlingmet with a check after going abouttwo Turlongs and that undoubtedlyaffected his chance. Gay Defence wascut off early, and, after being last intho middle stages, ran on strongly toget fifth. Bellkyrian drew No. 1 at thobarrier, but started from a good dealfurther out.

Attractive PerformanceThe each-way favourite Mazir was

responsible for an attractive perform-ance in winning the Ralph Handicapafter being squeezed back last at thefive furlongs. When that happened hisprospects appeared far from bright be-cause Enge was out six lengths clearof Scotland, who was ahead of Mona-nui, Royal Appellant and Knight ofAustralia. However, Mazir made uphis ground very rapidly ncaring theturn entering the straight and he wasup on the outside of Scotland andMonanui, who were several lengths be-hind Enge. Continuing to gallop freelyMa zir reached the lead at the distanceand stalled off a very determined chal-lenge from Royal Appellant to win likoa good horse. Royal Appellant recordedanother solid performances and he isone of the most consistent horses racingin Auckland at present. Enge attemptedto steal the race, but, after being sixlengths in front in the middle stages,weakened in the last furlong. Scotlandran a creditable fourth. Monanui failedto stay on at the finish and Kelly wasnever realiy dangerous.

The Iliad colt Inver was supporteddown to a short price on both machinesfor the Hobson Handicap and he insti-led the confidence by winning nicely.*iver followed Surella find Abbess ofWhitby until reaching the straight andthen ran on very resolutely when thepressure was applied to defeat Surella,who ran another fine race, just failingnear the end. Gay Streak failed to gaina position early and, after being along way back in the middle stages, didwell to get third, just cutting GayTalkie out of that position. MarjoryDaw displayed early speed, but gave notrouble at the finish, while the otherswero well beaten. Inver is a solid typeof colt and, although his form on thisoccasion was nothing out of the way,ho may develop into a useful per-former.

Good Finishing BunIt was with a good finishing run that

Keith Lu won the Hauraki Plate, inwhich tho each-way favourite Valrnintdisappointed by failing to reach a place.Keith Lu was left some lengths -at thostart and tailed tho field until reachingthe straight, where he made a fineeffort on the outside. King Brierly wasresponsible for a solid performance,making all the running and staying onsoundly for second. Kingshot camefrom a good way back to get third,just beating Velocipede in the last fewstrides. Velocipede was always pro-minent and, after looking a likely win-ner at the straight entrance, weakenednear the end. Vn,lmint failed to displaytho dash expected, although ho mayhave been closer than fifth with abetter run in the straight. Arawa Rosetired at the end after being prominentuntil well into tho straight.

On the strength of his consistent formlately Rereatu was installed a good fav-ourite 011 both machines for the Devon-port Handicap, and ho duly won. Re-ginning well, Rereatu followed thepacemaker Puss Moth for just over sixfurlongs and then went up on thorails to score with something in hand.Rereatu thoroughly deserved his suc-cess as he has been racing unluckily.Puss Moth ran his best raco for sometime and failed only near the end, de-monstrating that ho is returning toform. Crooning was a very creditablethird and Sinking Fund was a closofourth. Roughal was ridden in behindand, after pulling hard, failed to finishon. Nun Nicer, having his first raco forseveral months after contracting an ail-ment at To R;i|>a. in tho spring, dis-played some dash in the early stagesbut was not forward enough to run theseven furlongs right out.

Vera Acre Just TailsTho consistent Tuaheaho finished

strongly on tho rails to win tho Anni-versary Handicap, although he wasvery hard pressed at the end to stalloff Vera Acre, who came with a verydetermined late run. Tuaheahe was wellplaced most of the way when Enlight-enment and Toddy Boy wero makingthe pace, but ho was squeezed backslightly near the five-furlongs. However,he. kept to the rails and got a fine runthrough in tho straight. Vera Aerocamo from a long way back and TeBroney also finished 011 strongly. Tidalialooked liko winning when she passedthe leaders just after reaching thestraight, but she commenced her efforta trifle soon and weakened at the end.The favourite Light Comedy was neverdangerous,

HAWKE'S BAY HORSES

CHANCES AT WANGANUI

[llY TELEGRAPH—OWN* CORRESPONDENT]HASTINGS, Wednesday

Hawke's Bay will be represented atthe Wanganui meeting on Friday andSaturday by Royal Shift, Hornpipe,Joviality, Count Willonyx, Blue Gar-ter, Passion Fruit, Speed, Sir Nigel,Lavina, Passion Flower, Hunting Catand Silver Song. Hunting Cat andSilver Song are engaged on the secondday only.

Royal Shift has sufficient speed andjumping ability to win any middle-distance hurdle race in the country,but in a weak field at Ashhurst wassixth all the way, failing to show anyreal dash. Ho is not at all reli-able. Hornpipe, Joviality and CountWillonyx are in the maiden, and itwould not surprise if they were tobe the place-getters. Joviality, thehandsome son of Hunting Song andMerry Roe, has greatly benefited byhis raco at Ashhurst and in his finalgallop before leaving ran half-a-milein a tick worse than 50s, going verycomfortably. A big price was recentlyrefused for him.

The public form of Hornpipo ispoor, but tlio manner in which hodefeated Happy Landing on Tuesdaymorning suggests a win in maidenclass before Jong.

Count Willonyx came from a longway back to get fourth at Ashhurstand, as he has solid racing condition,cannot bo ignored.

Passion Fruit is none the worse forhis two thirds at Wellington. Healways races well at Wanganui andthere is every reason to expect himto run a very solid race in the Wanga-nui Cup.

SYDNEY TURF NEWSDEFEAT OP GAY SETON

M. MoCARTEN RIDING WELL

TEN- WINS IN FORTNIGHT

[fuom our own correspondent]SYDNEY, Jan. 20

One of the features of the WarwickFarm mooting on Saturday was therush to support the Now Zealander GaySeton in the seven furlongs SeftonHandicap. Notv trained by J. W. Cook,lie bad galloped well enough on thetracks at I'and wick to justify the sup-port, but in the actual race he wentvery badly. At no stage was he goingat all well, and his poor display dumb-founded his trainer. Heritor, beateneasily by Gay Scion in the latesttrack gallops, won very decisively inthe Bora la Handicap a few races later.Gay Solon has been a boom horse inSydney, but after Saturday he may goout of favour.

M. McCarten rode three more win-ners at Warwick Farm on Saturday,making five for the week and ten forthe past fortnight. McCarteu scoredon both two-year-old winners, WaterWaggon and John o' Groats. Certainlyho had youngsters of the right calibrounder him, but he did his job also. Mc-Carten also scored on Stalwart in theopening event, and riding played abig part in the victory. The ex-NewZoalandor has come right back to hisbest form, and is something of awizard in juvenile events. No matterwhat he rides in this class of race now-adays his mounts arc well supported.

Three-year-old WinnerThe smart Heroic filly Cereza scored

her first success as a three-year-old inthe Sefton Handicap, and now lookscertain to start a hot favourite for theAdrian Knox Stakes. She is not wellbehaved at the barrier these days, and,as is not unusual, she received none thebest of the start, while some of thebetter-behaved ones were badly served.Accordingly Cereza had matters madeeasier for her, and she won decisively.Short Wave, Bombus and King's Headran solid races just behind Cereza, butnot so good as Windbird and Flamari,who had bad luck from start to finish.

Treasure Trove, by Gainscourt—Desert Gold, ran quite a fair race in amile maiden race at Warwick Farm.She was ridden by G. Price's stableapprentice J. Tait, and is sure to dobetter.. Tho Palmist, by Chief lluler—Timid,

registered another minor placing atWarwick Farm behind Water Waggonand Billy Boy. Of these Billy Boy hasthe brightest prospects. He put in agreat run to finish second. He is ownedby "Miss T.orna Doone," who racesSvlvandale, and is trained by F. Wil-liams. By Pantheon from Earloona, hehas much of Peter Pan's blood, andsomething of his characteristics, in ad-dition to his colour. Ho might not beas good, but he should prove useful.

The Night Raid—Quadrilateral coltRob Roy was produced for the firsttime at Warwick Farm, but ran incon-spicuously. Ho will not always be somodest. He is trained by J. Foulsham,who made Chatham in his early days.

Nabob was a very pronounced favour-ite for the Warwick Farm Novice Han-dicap, and justified it by winninghandsomely. Ho is a short-bred, com-mon-looking gelding by Red Gaunt-let, but much better than he looksHe spent his early days in a trades-man's cart. He should win more racesunder a light scale.

Scratchmere Scar in WorkJ. T. Ctish produced Jubilee Singer,

by Nigger Minstrel—Bravado, at W'ar-wiek Farm. Jubilee Singer is a finebrown colt, with possibilities on appear-ance, although as yet some distancebelow real winning condition.

Curator, sold for 1800 guineas afterthe A.J.C. Spring Meeting, won hisfirst raco for his new owner, the Janu-ary Handicap, at Warwick Farm. Heled practically all the way, Cclcbriteheading him momentarily on the turn.Ho now looks like winning the Anni-versary Handicap. Unplaced behindCurator were Limbohm, Loud Applauseand Cockpen. Loud Applause, riddenbv an apprentice, did best by finishingn fair fourth. Miss Nottava was also inthe race, but even with 8.5 she foundit much too difficult a proposition.

Scratehmere Scar is in work againand looks very bright and healthy. Hehas had his affected joint blisteredtwice, and a good holiday at Doonside.Ho should bo useful during, the latoautumn and winter.

The Now Zealand-bred two-year-oldsGold Rod and Ilium are being workedthe reverse way at Randwick, whichwould suggest au early departuro forMelbourne. They should be worthyrepresentatives lor both Sydney andNew Zealand at the southern meetings.

NOTES FROM EVERYWHERE

TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP

Ma la's owner-trainer, H. 10. Russell,stated at Trentham last week that thecolt would nob race again this season.Mala, is to be eased off and allowed todevelop, and, all going well, he willgo over to Sydney in the late winterto be prepared for the Australian clas-sics.

Paper Slipper was at Trentham withother members of the Chokebore team,but after working before the meetinghis knee.trouble becamo worse, and itwas decided to send him back to Ric-carton without racing. He will now begiven a spell until the spring.

Heritage, who cost Mr. W. H. Gais-ford 525 guineas as a yearling, has won£2l-19 in stakes. His brilliant win inthe Trentham Stakes showed his calibrewhen track conditions are favourable,and he now occupies a foremost placeamong tlio three-year-olds of the sea-son .

At an auction of mixed stock afterthe yearling sales at Trentham lastweek, Countersign, with a bay colt byIliad at foot, and in foal to Iliad, wassold to Mr. It, Stewart, of Wellington,for 275 guineas. Dancing Doll, alsowith a edit foal by Iliad, and in foalto him, was passed at 200 guineas.There was not much competition forAutopay, and he was passed in at 175guineas.

As usual, the yearlings by ChiefRuler came in for great attention atTrentham last week. He has helpedto make history at Trentham morethan once, but the offering was his finalbatch of youngsters, as ho died in 1934.The big-priced lots will go to Australia,two being knocked down to G. Priceand two to J. T. Jamieson, and an-other, secured by Mr. U. Shannon, wasalso probably for a West Australianclient.

S. J. Reid was a purchaser at theyearling sales last week. He is settingup again at Trentham, and will make astart for a couple of new owners, whilethe Mana stud master, Mr. 11. H. W.Holden, will also give him a horse. Acouple of the yearlings purchased byPfue, Gould, Guinness, Limited, arealso for a new Christchurch owner.

The Australian Jockey Club's Anni-versary Mooting was oponod at Rand-wiek to-day in dull weather.

SOUTHERN TROTTING

RECENT FORM DISCUSSED, , .1

[iJY TELEGRArH—OWN CORRESPONDENT]CHRISTCHTTRCH, Wednesday

Trotting form during the past fewweeks has been instructive, in viewof the Forbury Park Trotting Club'smeeting, to be held to-morrow andon Saturday, when a number of themost successful performers in theSouth Island will compete.

Indianapolis has not been in betterorder since he commenced racing and,although ho was defeated at Addrtig-ton on Saturday, his effort representedone of the greatest mile ancjl a-quarterperformances registered on the course.Ho is asked to give away 84yds inthe Dunedin Cup, but for a horse ofhis class the task is not too great.

His usual pilot, J. Fraser, will drivehim in preference to Tempest. Indian-apolis is a racehorse of the highestclass and has previously shown hisability to handle the five furlongs cir-cuit. He is likely to be the favouriteand Llewellyn's Pride, who has nowwon four races in succession, may bonext in demnnd.

Worthy flight's form at Addinjjtonlast Saturday was not what one mighthave expected from such a consistentperformer, but M. Holmes, his newtrainer, was driving him for the firsttimo in a race, and there is everyindication of Worthy Light showingimprovement in the near future.

Pot Luck, who claims an engage-ment in the Southland Handicap atForbury Park, may be classed as oneof the best three-year-olds in New Zea-land and, following on his second inthe Champion Stakes at Ashburtonand bis decisive victory at Timaru,he appears to have excellent prospectsto-morrow.

When last raced in saddle NoblePrince struck something above theaverage in Do Soto, one of the mostbrilliant mile saddle horses at presentin commission, and a good performerunder any conditions. Noblo Princewill bo a starter in the Electric Han-dicap at Forbury Park and he shouldbe very difficult to beat.

Self, the five-vear-old gelding by !Wrack from Bertha Bingen, is a nurFhhotter racehorse than is generallyimagined and his win in the McLeanHandicap at Ashburton was most de-cisive. On that form lie looks a goodprospect at Forbury Park.

S. A. Edwards will havo a teamof three at Forbury Park, his repre-sentatives comprising Craganour, Selfand Lady Fame. The last-named isowned in Wellington and on her run-ning at Canterbury Park, where shewon over a mile and a-half in 3.17 1-5,her chances make a direct appeal.

Ono of the most genuine pacers atpresent racing is the Auckland-ownedGrace' McElwyn and at Forbury Park,where she will start otf the limit, sheshould command respect. She will meethorses approaching the best class, butshe is better than public form has yetshown. ■'

The: trotters engaged at Forbury Parkare not altogether good. Some whoinav race prominently are Little Reta,Lament, Farrish Chimes, Ann Parrish, jReward and Isabel Patch.

.THE NEW ZEALAND HERALD. THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1936 11

THE

New Zealand HeraldAND DAILY SOUTHERN CROSS

THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1936NEW ZEALAND'S BIRTHDAY

It is high time New Zealand madeup its mind about i(s birthday. Un-less it be content to become alaughing-stock in a world growingcircumspect in such things, it willlook up its birth certificate beforethe centenary. That certificate exists,and it is amply legible and official,but most New Zealanders seem tohave paid it scant attention. Auck-land alone of the provincial dis-tricts has come near to treating itwith due seriousness, but even Auck-land has not examined it closelyenough to get adequate guidancefrom what it plainly tells. Yesterdaywas observed as Anniversary Day inthis northernmost area of theDominion. A general holiday, signal-ised according to well-establishedcustom by a regatta, professed tocommemorate either the founding ofthe city or of New Zealand, or both.By no stretch of fancy can January29 be held entitled to any portion ofsuch honour. There is, to be sure, thetestimony of habit, but no amountof repetition can justify an actoriginally wrong. The thing is to getback to the beginning of the seriesand test its quality. In this instancethe quality is discoverably bad. Thebest that can be said is that a cer-tain happening in the calendar manyyears ago—the falling of January 29on a Saturday—led to a casualdistinction of this date. Thought-lessly this happening was allowed toaffect subsequent practice. A littlecare in the right quarter would haveobviated the mistake. It was nottaken. To put the matter right hasbecome an urgent duty.

Different localities have their dif-ferent anniversaries. Taking these iutheir order in the year, they are:January 22, Wellington; January 29,Auckland; February 1, Nelson;March 23, Otago (with Southland);March 31, Taranaki; November 1,Marlborough, this date being appro-priated also, on the evidence of anold handbook, by Hawke's Bay;December 1, Westland; Dacember16, Canterbury. Not one of thesedates is the birthday of New Zea-land. Where is this birthday to befound ? Not in the date of Tasman'sdiscovery in 1642, for the Dutch im-mediately abandoned all thought oftaking possession, and Tasman him-self did nothing to establish a claim.Not in Cook's proclamation ofsovereignty in 1769, for this was notmade good by effective settlement,and the British Government ex-pressly disavowed intention to pro-ceed upon it. Not in the inclusioncf these islands within the jurisdic-tion of New South Wales before1840, for this also was explicitlynegatived. Not in the sending ofBusby to the Bay of Islands in 1833,for he was accredited to the con-federated tribes in acknowledgedpossession. Not in the founding ofthe New Zealand Company's settle-ment at Port Nicholson by opera-tions in 1839-40, for this was not onlyunauthorised by the British Govern-ment but also in defiance of therefusal of a charter. If irregularEiettlement is to be accorded a rightto be considered a beginning, thenIvororareka, in the Bay of Islands,with its established European popu-lation some fifteen years earlier thanFort Nicholson's, has a prior claim;but, for a similar reason, this claimis equally groundless. The onlybirthday with official warrant mustbe found in Captain Hobson'sachievement, when he was em-powered to negotiate with the Maoria treaty of cession and to proclaimBritish sovereignty under his ownregime ; and January 29 has no goodclaim in this connection.

On that date in 1840 he arrived inthe Bay of Islands, but until the nextday he was no more than a potentialrepresentative of the Crown for thepurpose in hand. He remained'throughout that day on H.M.S.Herald. Extant letters he then sentashore from the vessel prove con-clusively that he viewed the day asunimportant. "I cannot with pro-priety leave the ship until I appearin my proper character" he wrote,being careful to sign in only a pri-vate capacity. He thus conveyed hiswishes about the formal acts of thenext day and "the most importantdocuments" then to be read. "Don't

!»mistake the day" was his underlinedinjunction. When that day came hecarried out his commission ; he wentashore, read his proclamations, hadhis actions attested in writing by alarge number of reputable localwitnesses, hoisted the flag, and im-mediately began to attach an officialtitle to all his business communica-tions. In 1842, under his jurisdiction,Anniversary Day was celebrated bya gazetted public holiday. It wasdescribed in the official notificationas the "second anniversary of theestablishment of the colony." Therewas no observance in 1841, becauseof the state of confusion created bythe tedious process of removing theseat of government from the Bay ofIslands to Auckland. Because thedate chosen by His Excellency in1842 (January 30) fell on a Sunday,the celebration was directed by himto be held on the preceding Satur-

[ day (January 29). Bad times for five| years meant discontinuing the ob-servance, and in 1847, after Gover-

: nor Hobson's death, the old notifi-j cation, naming January 29, wascarelessly copied. These facts areall on clear record and have hadparliamentary endorsement. Appro-priate action should establish Janu-ary 30 as New Zealand's birthday.

WAR IN ABYSSINIA

The lighter side of war is oftentalked about but-rarely experiencedby front line soldiers who are weary,underfed and filled with the anxie-ties of heavy responsibility. In writ-ings it applies either to diversionsbehind the lines or to that cheerfulhumour in unpleasant places whichis a high expression of courage andendurance. But there is a tempta-tion to think of the lighter side whenscanning some of tho communiquesfrom the Abyssinian fronts. To-day ispublished a Koine message whichreports the capture of a SwedishRed Cross camp hospital with fivelorries, one of which contained i7cases of ammunition. Ttaly will havesome difficulty in convincing tlpcivilised world that tho command A£a voluntary medical service suppliedby such a country as Sweden couldknowingly co-operate with the Abys-sinians in military action. Such ser-vices go out in (he spirit of the Orderof St. John to succour (he sick andwounded with no sense of partisan-ship. Just as difficult to believe asthis suggestion that the lied Crosshas been abused by the Swedishdoctors is the Abyssinian assertionthat two wounded men, abandonedafter an outpost action, were burnedalive by the Italians. A small partyretiring after a night foray usuallyis in entire ignorance of what hap-pens in their rear. The two messagessuggest crude propaganda. They mayserve however to distract publicattention from the non-decisivecharacter of the war, in which thedefenders, employing guerilla tactics,appear to bo checking the Italianadvance, which must inevitably stopfor several months when the rainsbegin.

BETTER TIMES

The statement issued by the Post-master-General upon the earnings ofhis department for the first ninemonths of the financial year pro-vides most encouraging evidence ofimprovement in economic conditions.It was to be expected that the spiritof enterprise that now animates thedepartment would be rewarded byhigher revenue. This is evident inthe increase of £40,000 in telephonetoll fees. But the aggregate increaseof £165,500 in net revenue for three-quarters of the year, covering as itdoes all branches, denotes a rise inthe economic tide. The experience ofthe Post and Telegraph Departmenthas been shared by business ingeneral, particularly during therecent period of abnormal purchas-ing. While the export trade still suf-fers under world-wide influencesnew life is flowing into locattrade and industry. Recent re-views of industry have shown re-markable expansion in many direc-tions. Most manufacturers may bedisappointed with their net returnfor increased output, but enlargedturnover, representing increased em-ployment, higher consumption andcirculation of money in greatervolume, means everything at themoment. Importation figures show anincrease which, though small, mustbe considered as a satisfactory indi-cation of improving trade, especiallyin view of expanding industrialactivities in the country. No intelli-gent person would suppose that theDominion could of itself fight its wayinto calm water, but there is indis-putable evidence that the process ofrecovery is gaining extra momentumfrom the fact that the psychologicalinfluence that exaggerated the de-pression is passing. The Post andTelegraph Department is to be con-gratulated upon its results, but theMinister might be reminded that forvears it has been the instrument ofconcealed taxation. The country isprepared to pay for the service butnot more than is necessary, andexpects to see rates lowered as

revenue returns advance.

MAIN HIGHWAYS BOARD

Motor interests generally areapprehensive lest they should be pre-judiced by the transport and roadpolicies of the Government. Thesehave yet to be formulated and theremay prove to have been no cause tomeet trouble half-way. At the sametime the references to these subjectsmade by Mr. Semple—who carriesthe portfolios of both Transport andPublic Works —have not been of areassuring nature. The vigilantattitude on behalf of private motor-ists taken yesterday by the NorthIsland Motor Union is therefore fullyjustified. The union is concerned lestthe present constitution and non-political outlook of the Main High-ways Board should be disturbed andno doubt public opinion, if it is en-gaged, will be similarly exercised.The board has done extremely goodwork with the funds available. Thesteady improvement of New Zea-land's main highway system is itsbest testimonial and one that a verynumerous body of citizens willcordially endorse. There is no publicdemand for the abolition of theboard, no general complaint againstits administration, and no apparentreason why it 'should not continue tofunction. No reason, that is, ex-cept the general attack on boardsmade by some Labour members andby Mr. Semple in particular. It isprobable lhat the National Govern-ment made excessive use of theboard system, but that is no reasonwhy the Labour Government shouldswing to the opposite extreme.Whore boards arc satisfactorily serv-ing the public interest and operatingefficiently, it would seem unwise torevert to the doubtful expedient ofdirect political control. The Govern-ment already has many large prob-lems on its hands and will not behelped by loading Ministers with freshand detailed administrative tasks.The particular case of the MainHighways Board might with advan-tage be referred for an opinion tothe transport conference Mr. Sempleproposes to call. The provision andmaintenance of roads is clearly aquestion relevant to the moregeneral issues that arc bound to beraised.

NOTES AND COMMENTSLIVING NEAR THE JOB

"The idea has been put forward thatthese flats must be built because menwant to jive near their work. I shouldhave thought they would have beenvery pleased to turn their back on thecranes and railways and gasworks andtannery yards where they have beenworking all day. Who wants to live nearhis work?" asked Mr. 'George Hicks,M.P., in a recent speech. "Wo ought tobe taking the men away from theirwork to places where they can get re-freshment and rest. Take my own in-dustry in which there are 1,250,000operatives engaged in building andpublic works. None of them live neartheir work—and that is tho largest in-dustry in the country. They all have togo where their work is—it may Ik; inthis place to-day and another part ofthe town to-morrow. Tho people wantfacilities for moving about."

AT THE PLAY"The theatre is the only art which

depends for its existence on being ashared experience," s-aid Mr, E. MartinBrowne in a recent 11.8.C. broadcast.The painter may paint and paint formonths in his study or out in the wildsby himself, and though it will be anextreme pity if nobody conies to seetho exhibition of his pictures, his crea-tions will still be complete in them-selves. Even a musician can obtain aperformance complete in his imagina-tion without the aid of an audience, buta play without an audience is palpablyincomplete. Why is this? If we look-back to the beginning of plays we findthat tho actors and the audience wereall one, that everybody took part inthe play; you can find that still in thedramatic ritual dances of the AmericanIndian tribes. But even now that theaudience has become so very separatefrom the stage tho experience that onelias in a theatre is still a simultaneousexperienco of those who act and thosewho see. A successful play draws theaudience for its duration into its ownlife.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICEAir. Oliver Stanley, President of the

Board of Education, speaking at aschool prize distribution in Liverpool,said that pride in our own country wasonly the more likely to make us seethat it was a country fit to be proud,of, and not bo'blind to its faults. Wemust not let love of our country meandislike or contempt for others. Wewere still paying a heavy price for theEnglishman of the nineteenth centurywho travelled abroad and looked onpeople he met there as amusing,curious, and slightly objectionableanimals that existed entirely for hisown country. What was so difficult wasto know the truth when we saw it, andwhat a school should teach was abilityto see the truth and the courage toseek it. Highor education was wastedunless it taught us to reject the. naif-truth, the casual, and tho superficial.What the country needed was ademocracy that had been educated tothink for itself, to analyse andcriticise tho difference between thefalse and the true, and not to bodeviated by self-interest or prejudice.

AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY

American foreign policy was definedby President Roosevelt in his messageto Congress on January 3. He said: —

Tho policy of the United States hasbeen clear and consistent. We havesought with earnestness in every pos-sible way to limit world armaments, toattain the peaceful solution of disputesamong all nations. As a consistent partof a clear policy the United Statesis following a twofold neutrality to-ward any and all nations which engagein wars not of immediate concern tothe Americas. First, we decline to en-courage the prosecution of Avar by per-mitting belligerents to obtain arms, am-munition and implements of warfrom the United States. Secondly, weseekto discourage the use by belligerentsof all or any American products calcu-lated to facilitate the prosecution ofwar in quantities over and abovo ournormal exports to them in times ofpeace. Peace is jeopardised by the few,not by tho many. Peace is threatenedby those who seek selfish power. Thoworld has witnessed similar eras. Wohope wo are not again on tho thresholdof such an era. But, if face it we must,then the United States and tho restof the Americas can play but ono role;through a well-ordered neutrality to donaught to encourage the contest,through an adequate defence to saveourselves from embroilment and attack,through example and all legitimate en-couragement and assistance to persuadeother nations to return to tho ways ofpeace and goodwill.

INTERNATIONAL NEW DEAL

Colonel Edward M. House, who, dur-ing tho war years and on to the Ver-sailles Peace Treaty, was PresidentWoodrow Wilson's confidant and ad-viser, played so vital, though unseen, apart that he was described as tho Presi-dent's "Silent Partner." Writing intho Daily Mail, he says:—The yellowrace, led by its most progressive mem-bers. will coalesce eventually. It isdesirable that this bloc should not boimbued with antagonism against thewhite race. But it will lie thus imbuedif we aro unwilling to envisage a newdeal internationally as well asnationally Germany will l>o dissatisfieduntil she regains her "place in thosun." The tension in Europo will leadto new disasters unless the imperialurge of Mussolini has the opportunityto spend itself on African soil. Japanwill see red until her crying needs areacknowledged. Tho four Powerspossessing the world-—Great Britain,Franco, Russia and the United States—must realise that mankind can nolonger bo governed by the adage:—"Hothat hath to him shall bo given; andho that hath not, from him shall betaken even that which he hath." Justas social peace cannot prevail withoutsome adjustment of tho capitalisticsystem, so international peace cannotbe preserved without drastic territorialreadjustments. Great Britain, Franco,Russia and the United States mustreceive Italy, Germany and Japan onterms adjusted to present world condi-tions and recognise their insistenceupon being given their proper part ofthe colonial resources of the world.

LOCAL AND GENERALAn Orderly Oity

Tho first arrests made by the Auck-land police since Monday afternoonwere those of two men who were takeninto custody yesterday on charges ofdrunkenness. There were no cases intho Police Court yesterday morning,although a sitting had been arrangedfor 9.30.Families Beturning from Holidays

struction of a timber mill at the mouth,

BROADCAST PLANPOLITICAL SPEECHES

DEBATES IN PARLIAMENT

GOVERNMENT'S PROPOSAL

REPORT BEING PREPARED

[by TKLEOHAPft—PKKSS ASSOCIATION']WE IjLINOTON, Wednesday

There is a good prospect of politi-cal debates being broadcast by radiofrom the New Zealand Parliament in

I the near future.j The Prime Minister, Hon. M, J.

I Savage, stated to-day that the Govern-j xnent had instructed departmental ex-perts to prepare a report on the in-stallation of facilities for radio broad-easting from Parliament House. "Theidea is to broadcast main debatesonly," Mr. Savage said. "We cannotbring the people to Parliament, so theonly alternative is to take Parliamentto the people by means of the micro-phone.

"I cannot give you any details ofthe way it should be done or of thefacilities for enabling individualspeeches to be broadcast at any giventime," Mr. Savage continued. "Theseare matters for the radio technicians.All that can be said at the moment is•that a report on the plan of a radioinstallation at Parliament. House hasbeen called for."

Questioned as to the probable in-, fluence of broadcasting on the futurequality of Parliamentary debates—ithaving boon discreetly suggested thatmany people' had not been very en-thusiastic about the standard of debatein recent years—tlio Prime Ministersmilingly admitted that possibly in thojjast many of. those who spoke in Par-liament may have spoken too much andtoo carelessly at times, or had not saidwell enough the little they had hadto say. It seemed to him, however,that if the men who would speak in

future knew that their words werebeing broadcast to thousands of peoplelistening in ambush, they would giv«greater attention to the matter andthe manner of their speech."

HIGHWAYS POLICYMOTOEISTS CONCERNEDSTATEMENTS BY MINISTER

THE POLITICAL ASPECT

[n\ r TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION]WELLINGTON. Wednesday

Apprehension at the recent state-ment by the Minister of Transport, theHon. R. Semple. in regard to the futureof the Main Highways Board, was ex-

pressed at the half-yearly meeting ofthe North island Motor Union to-day.

The chairman, Mr. \\ . A. 0 Gal-laghan, said lie had hoped to bring tothe meeting some idea of the newGovernment's policy in regard to mainhighways. The Minister of Transactwas not ready to meet them on thematter yet—he had not "conic downto tin tacks" himself in regard to thenew policy.

Mr. G. \V. Hutchison (Auckland)said there was one reference the Minis-ter made which he thought the unionshould bear in mind. The Minister'sidea, apparently, was that the boardshould be reorganised in such a wayas to bring it more under Governmentcontrol. The Government already hadfour representatives on the board,which comprised seven members, andhe thought the executive of the unionshould watch developments very closelyto see whether the Minister proposeda change in the personnel, or whetherthe idea was to deprive the board ofits non-political aspect.

Mr. E. A. IJatt (Wellington) saidlie regarded the statement as mostserious. He did not know whether itwould be possible, but it might be thatthe secretary and president could havea private talk with the Minister.

The chairjnan said he had been tcy-ing for three days to get an interviewwith the Minister, but he had not beensuccessful.

After further discussion, a proposalto suggest to the Minister, that theunion would appreciate the courtesy ofdiscussing with him any proposedalterations was adopted.

To fall down a chimney while playingat Santa Claus and escape with onlybruises and a thick covering of sootwas the experience yesterday of JackBecconsall, an eight-year-old boy wholives at Sullivan Avenue.

The boy climbed 011 to the roof andstepped into the chimney. Ho raisedhis hands, slipped and fell to the bot-tom of the chimney, where his fall wasbroken by a draught plate, which wasclosed. If it had not been for this

plate, it is probable that his injurieswould have been more serious.

the development in speed and extentof the news service from Britain toNew Zealand could be given than bycontrasting the accounts that have ap-peared in the Herald of the funeralof King George with the descriptionsthat were given of the funeral of KingEdward VII in May, 1910.

TRAVEL BY AIRVISITOR ENJOYS TRIP

ADVANTAGES IN NEW ZEALAND[by telegraph—OWN correspondent}

GISBOfiXE, Wedneidiy

The opinion that air travel may neverbe as popular in England as in NewZealand was expressed by Mr. R. S.Forsyth, London manager of the NewZealand Meat Board. Mr. Forsyth statedthat yesterday afternoon he had hisfirst air trip for 17 years.

A party consisting of Mr. ForsJth,Mr. John Fraser, general manager, andMr. J. D. W. Ormond, Hawke's Bayand Poverty Bay member of the board,was brought from Napier to Gisbornaby Mr. W. M. O'Hara, the Tasnanflyer, who has been touring New 2iea-land.

The time taken on the trip fiomNapier to Gisborne was 40 minutes.Members of the party stated that theyhad enjoyed their experience and theyintended to return to Napier to-morrowmorning by air service.

Mr. Forsyth said he had been in thepost of London manager of the MoatBoard for 12 years and had not yethad occasion to take to the air in thecourse of his travels throughout thecountry. The railways in Britain fitillcatered for tho public in such a quickand comfortable manner on long tripsbetween the main centres that therewas little advantage in going by aero-plane. From London to Glasgow bytrain was a trip of only seven hours, fMr. Forsyth said, and as this could heundertaken at night under most com-fortable conditions, business men wastedno time. If they were to travel by airit would take an hour beforo he couldconnect with the aeroplane, for theaerodrome was 20 miles out of London.

PANORAMA OF MOURNINGLAST SALUTE TO LATE KINGLONDON FOCUSES WORLD EMOTION

SURGING MASSES AND SOLEMN TREAD

By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright(Received January. 29, 5.5 a.m.)

LONDON, Jan. 28

This was the greatest d«iy of mourning the world has ever seen or heard of. Two hundred million listeners, apartfrom millions of spectators whose eyes were dimmed by what they witnessed, learned in many tongues, but inone language of sorrow and reverence, of the majestic panorama which attended the burial of the King Emperor.

The throngs in London far exceeded those which assembled for the funeral of King Edward VII. and KingGeorge's Silver Jubilee celebrationis. Soldiers and constables were actually knocked down at the Marble Arch owingto the involuntary invasion oIF the fairway by the irresistible pressure of the crowds. Thousands of people failednot onlyto reach their purchased seats, but even the route itself.

In the more congested sections hundreds of thousands were prevented from seeing anything by the solid wall ofwatchers in front. The top of every roof and every balcony was crowded, and cornices of lofty buildings were a frieze ofheads. The concourse bristled with improvised periscopes on top of walking sticks and umbrellas.

Luckier spectators hired places om costermongers' barrows at 10s each, enabling them to overlook the 20-deep rankseparating them from the line of troops fringing the route, but such good fortune was rare.

Women and even men wept unashamedly during the two minutes' silence, in which London seemed stilled even

more impressively than on Armistice Day owing to the tens of thousands congregated everywhere. Large crowdsassembled outside St. Paul's, and Trafalgar Square was packed, thousands standing shoulder to shoulder. Thecrowds were so dense outside the Mansion House that it was impossible to move. Similar scenes were witnessedat the Marble Arch and otheir important points.

Foreign visitors paid tribute to the police for their skilful handling of the crowds, including the difficult situationat the Marble Arch. It was I:he first great public ceremony that Sir Philip Game had handled since he was appointedPolice Commissioner. It is pointed out that it was almost impossible to provide for every contingency of such a

complex and vast procession, yet the delays were commendably few.While these moving scenes were being enacted in London, the gracious memory of His late Majesty was being

honoured by observances in every part of the Empire, from Gibraltar to Fiji, and in the capitals and principal cities offoreign countries in five continents. :

VAST RESTLESS CROWDSDEVOUT • REVERENCE SHOWN

EVER-MEMORABLE SPECTACLE

PROCESSION BARELY ROOM TO PASSLONDON. .Tan. 28

With the arrival of the leaders of the funeral procession in Londonan atmosphere of devout reverence permeated the restless crowds 'whoseconfusion gave place to solemn recognition of the presence of the dead.

More significant to the spectators than all its attendan£ pomp wasthe coffin itself, draped in the Royal Standard surmounted by theImperial emblems and followed as if he walked in a lonely dream, by

the slowly-pacing figure of their new King.To the tolling of Big Ben, which had not so tolled since the last

Edward died, every head of the thousands gathered was uncovered as

the gun-carriage bearing the Royal coffin left Westminster Hall andrumbled out of the New Palace Yard to the measured tramp of feet.

At 10.45 a.m., when the procession began to move forward, the policebroadcast repeated appeals to those at the rear of the crowd to stoptheir pressure and to remember that those in front were liable to serious

aad perhaps fatal injury.The guards of honour along the route were forced into a ragged

line, but all displayed great patience in a most trying situation.A wonderful change from disorder to order occurred just before the

leaders of the procession arrived. The police exhorted the crowds toremember the solemn nature of the occasion, and the appeal had an

immediate effect, the pressure slackened, troops were able to reform intoline and to obey appropriate commands as the procession drew near.

As it was the foremost sections of the procession had barely roomto pass, yet the magnificent escorts did not alter. Such a great mass ofpeople has probably not before been compressed into an area of a fewhundred yards. Looking from a height at this part of the route the scenewas an ever-memorable • one. The greater part of the cortege could beseen slowly winding its way along the entire length of Hyde Parkbetween an unbroken mass of people and lines of bare trees.

Well may the Navy be proud of the detachment which pulled thegun-carriage. The rhythm and smoothness of its movements was per-fection.

POLICE CORDON BROKEN

CONFUSION AT THE MARBLE ARCH

MANY CASUALTIES AND ONE DEATH

LONDON, Jan. 28

Hyde Park presented an amazing spectacle during tlie funeral pro-

cession. Far back over the grass the mass of people stood shoulder to

shoulder. Again and again the police announced, through megaphones,that all vantage points were full, and appealed to the people to seekother positions.

The crowd got out of control at the Marble Arch, and the policecordon, once broken, was reinforced by the Tank Corps. The mountedtroops again failed to withstand the pressure of the collosal gathering.An unbroken stream of people who had fainted or been crushed wasconveyed to Jirst-aid stations, and all was disorder.

Five hundred people were injured or fainted in the confusion beforethe cortege arrived. At the Marble Arch was the densest crowd on theroute, and even the sight of the coffin eould not still the cries of appre-hension and pain of those who were being crushed by opposing pressuresof the police in front and thousands of iipectators behind. Children werepassed over people's heads to get them out of the crush.

Members of the St. John Ambulnnce dealt with a total of 700

patients, one of whom died en route to hospital.No further incidents marked the progress of the funeral procession

to Paddington, where the leaders arrived 35 minutes late, delaying thestart of the 'Royal train 28 minutes. The vast arch at the station wasdraped in purple, and great wreaths of laurel and Flanders poppiessurmounted it. Long purple banner:? edged with white lined theapproach. The red carpet stretched across the Royal platform was theone used at the funeral of King Edward VII. -26 years ago.

Princess Elizabeth, who had arrived early, walked to the end of {heplatform and peeped around to catch a glimpse of the train. She was* fistful little figure in black with a black beret.

START FOR WINDSORTRAIN LEAVES PADDINGTON

PIPERS PLAY HIGHLAND DIRGE

KING GEORGE BORNE FROM CAPITAL'LONDON. Jan. 28

The noise and bustle of Paddington was solemnly hushed. Instead ofhurrying throngs of travellers, an unceasing procession of uniformed menand veiled women walked slowly to the special trains for Windsor. TheRoyal train consisted of the same nine coaches which had brought theKing's body from Sandringham. On the headlamp of each engine was

a model of the Imperial Crown, draped, and a shield bearing the Royalcoat of arms was placed on either side of the gleaming boilers.

The journey of the funeral procession to Paddington completed, thegun-carriage disappeared in the darkness of the station entrance andthe King and his brothers and other potentates vanished into the gloom.

The procession slowly fded through the station, where the hushwas broken only by the tramp of marching men until the Royal ArtilleryBand halted at the foot of the platform and played the coffin to itsplace beside the train.

The King and his brothers and other leading mourners formed a linebetween the gun-carriage and the railway coach. The Queen Mother andher ladies took positions opposite to them, forming an aisle along whichGrenadier Guards reverently carried the coffin. When they had laid itinside the coach the King looked carefully into the darkened interior,then, satisfied that all was well, he escorted the Queen and his sisters-in-law to their compartments.

The guard waved his flag and the train drew slowly from the plat-form while massed pipers played the Highland dirge, " The Flowers o'the Forest." Within a few moments the train rounded a sweeping curveand was lost to view. Many eyes were dimmed with tears as the specta-tors realised that their beloved King had left the capital of his Empirefor the last time.

The deep booming of the great Sebastopol bell reverberated throughthe countryside as the funeral train of the late King George drew in tothe platform at Windsor station. The old town had never seen suchcrowds as had gathered from far and wide to pay their last homage totheir beloved Sovereign, who adopted the name of Windsor for hisfamily.

The green slopes beneath the grey walls of the Castle afforded a

superb view of the magnificent cortege as it wound its slow way up thehill from the station. The streets were draped in purple and black, andthe sorrow seemed—if indeed that were possible—deeper even than thatin London, as, like the villagers of Sandringham, the inhabitants of thesmall town of Windsor have como to know the Royal Family well andto regard them as personal friends.

Inside the gates of the Castle, a great part of the route was linedwith members of the Officers' Training Corps from schools and univer-sities, including Oxford, Cambridge and Eton.

On the way to Windsor the funeral train everywhere had met withsigns of deepest homage. Every station was crowded with people standingin silent reverence, every building displayed llags at half-mast, thegreat shunting yards, normally noisy with activity, wero deserted.

The Royal cortege moved from Windsor station at 1.15 p.m. Theleading escort was composed of guardsmen in long red cloaks. The sun

glittered on their helmets and on their drawn swords. The Sebastopolbell continued tolling solemnly 101 times, and the booming of gunsmarked the passage of minutes.

King Edward looked haggard as he walked, with hands clasped andhead bowed, and his boots utained with mud. None could fail to beimpressed with the pathos o£ the scene. The corteg6 entered throughthe George IV. Gateway of the Castle, steeped in age-old tradition, andcrossed the great quadrangle near the State apartments, where KingGeorge had entertained so many Ascot parties, and thence passed theRound Tower where Edward 111. founded the Order of the Garter in1349.

CHURCH TAKES UP ITS TASKOPENING OF LAST SERVICE

QUEEN MOTHER'S GRIEF HIDDEN

NEW KING'S FILIAL SOLICITUDELONDON, Jan. 28

When the gun-carriage drew up at the steps of St. George s Chapel

two boatswains and eight boatswains' mates piped the " Admiral over

the Side." The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York,

the Bishop of Winchester and the Dean of Windsor stood by to receivethe coffin. As it was borne across the threshold the boatswains' pipesspread the tidings: " Admiral Aboard." The faces of many naval officers

twitched with emotion at the simple intimation that their King andAdmiral last at rest.

The Navy's duty done, the Church received the coffin, which was

borne through the nave past rows of great personages. King Edward,limping slightly, looked neither to left nor right except for an occasionalglance at his mother, who, white-faced but composed, walked on hisright hand side.

Behind them came the King and Queen of Norway, then the Duke

of York, the Duke of Kent and the Duke of Gloucester, followed by

Princess Elizabeth between the Duchess of York and the Duchess of

Gloucester. King George's grandsons walked with the Princess Royal,both wearing tartan kilts, in which their grandfather used to love tosee them. Foreign Kings, Princes and statesmen closed the procession,

which filled the whole nave.The coffin was reverently lowered on to its purple and gold bier.

The Royal Standard, with the Imperial Crown, Orb and Sceptre, werelifted off, disclosing the bare wood covered with pure white wreaths.

The King took up his position at the head of the coffin, facing the

altar, the Queen Mother at his right and the Royal Family grouped

behind them, standing motionless as the choir began to sing the psalm," The Lord Is My Shepherd."

. j . ,

The King glanced now and again at the high fan roof blazoned with

the badges of bygone Kings and knights, and his eye travelled along thestalls of the Knights of the Garter. The Queen, motionless, with bowedhead, and not showing signs of her great grief, was queenly and magni-

ficent in her restraint.

LOWERED INTO VAULTBELOVED KING AT REST

PATHOS OF LAST SCENE OF ALL

MOURNERS FILE OUT INTO SUNSHINELONDON, Jan. 23

It was on the Queen's instructions that King George's favouritehymn, "Abide With Me," was included in the final service in St. George's

Chapel. The service proceeded until the gentle voice of the Archbishop

of Canterbury, Dr. Cosmo Gordon Lang, who was clad in a cape of dark

purple and silver, intoned: "In the midst of life we are in death.

The King moved forward, touching his mother's arm. Every heartseemed to stop beating as an officer of the Grenadier Guards stepped

forward and offered the King a silver casket, from which he took earth

from the consecrated ground of the Royal burial place at Frogmore and

sprinkled it upon the coffin.Slowly and silently the coffin began to sink into the Royal vault

beneath the Chapel floor. The King stepped back, and mother and sonsmiled at each other as though in mutual comfort.

Iron though the Queen's self-control was, she was not allowed to

stand alone while her son was scattering the earth. The, Queen of Norway

moved up to her side until her son rejoined her.The Archbishop of York, Dr. William Temple, prayed for the spirit

of the dead King, and then, with a touch of medieval pageantry, theGarter Principal King of Arms pronounced for the last time on earthKing George's sonorous titles. When the last echo had died away, heacclaimed the new Sovereign Lord, Edward VIII., concluding with: GodSave the King."

The servico was now almost ended. The choir sang the song ofSt. Francis, " God Be In My Head," the Archbishop of Canterburypronounced the Benediction slowly and reverently, and the King escortedhis mother, followed by the rest of the Royal Family, out into thesunlight.

Behind rested the remains of King George V. On the coffin were

the colours of the; Grenadier Guards, four wreaths-King Edward'scirclet of white flowers, a cross of white and crimson carnations from

the Queen, and tributes from King George's other children and from theKing and Queen of Norway.

The members of the congregation reverently lowered their eyes as

they passed the vault, and they, too, filed out into the sunshine away

from the last resting place of a monarch who was loved by his people

and honoured by the whole world.

GREETINGS OF REVERENT CROWDS

KING AND MOTHER PALE AND TIRED--LONDON, Jan. 28

Thousands of people gathered in the vicinity of Paddington stationto watch the return of the Royal mourners. The train which had taken

WORLD-WIDE GATHERING

BEAUTIES OF THE SERVICE(Received Janittfry 29. 5.5 p.m.)

LONDON. Jan. 2$

A special representative of theAustralian Associated Press whoattended the Royal funeral servicein St. George's Chapel, Windsor,writes: All that kingly simplicity of

faith, of which the Archbishop ofCanterbury broadcast so eloquentlyand fittingly, invested the moving

half-hour in the Chapel when theKing's remains were committed tothe vaults of the House of Windsor.

The beautiful nave was filled at noon

with probably the most representa-tive world-wide gathering ever as-

sembled for a Royal burial. Every stall

in the Chapel, beneath the rich heraldicemblems, was filled with Knights of

the Garter, accompanied by theirheavily-veiled ladies. Indeed, the veil-

ing of the ladies and the cloaking of

the naval and military uniforms sup-

pressed the unequalled riot of colourthat would otherwise have predom-inated.

The sun shono unchallenged throughthe magnificent stained-glass windowswith almost springlike brilliance, takingthe glint of colour from the knights'banners overhead and shedding a touchof warmth on the gilded Royal

purple bier on which later the Royal

remains wore to pass to the vaultsbelow.

The air in tlio vicinity of the Chapelwas drenched in the perfume of flowers,which had been sent from sorrowingsubjects and foreign Rulers andpeoples, and were massed all round theinner and outer walls of the cloisters.

As the coffin reached the west door,the shrill notes of the boatswains'pipes sounded the signal His Majestyhad so often heard when visiting theFleet, "Admiral coming alongside."This was quickly followed by the leave-taking signal as the colliu was borne

off at the west door of tin? Chapel on

the shoulders of six magnificentGuardsmen. Scottish pipers meanwhilerepeated the lament, "Flowers o' theForest."

The mourners in the Chapel hadsprung to their feet and assumed a

silence that was overwhelming. TheArchbishop of Canterbury's rich andcultured tones reciting: "I am theResurrection and the Life ' initiatedthe choral chant from the end of thenave and aisle.

Then another of those unrehearsedand beautiful effects of song gave thetouchstone to the whole service. Thevoices of the boyish choristers as theyemerged from the outer spaciousnessthrough the narrow passege into theChapel proper seemed triumphantly toacclaim: "Yet shall

Throughout the service Queen Marystood close to Bang Edward, her gazefixed on the bier. She bore herselfwith queen-like courage, although shewas showing traces of the week's weari-

ness. The King showed her the mosttender attention, assisting her np thechoir steps ' and giving her both hishands to steady her steps.

As the Royal mourners departed itwas noticed that the King's eyes andcheeks were showing signs of the in-tense strain he had undergone in thespace of a few days, but to the lastmoment his was a mind alert on detailand forethought.

Memorial services in honour of thelate King George were held in churches,temples and mosques throughout India.Moslems and Hindus gathered in twovast assemblies and prayed according totheir respective rites for the repose ofthe soul of the late King.

The extent to which the King-Emperor is above politics was demon-strated by the orderliness with whichthe rival sects carried out their ownceremonies. The Moslem processionsthrough the bazaars were accompaniedby Mullahs chanting prayers.

In Bombay the day was eerily quiet,the hubbub of the streets and bazaarsbeing silenced and places of amusementclosed.

A message from Cairo says the funeralbrought a lull in the political crisis. Asalute was fired from the Citadel.

At Gibraltar 70 minute guns from thenaval fortress began a period of mourn-ing, in which Spaniards and otherforeigners joined.

THE PERIOD OF SILENCE

LONDON, Jan. 28

The late arrival of the Royal funeralprocession at Windsor led to a mis-understanding about the two minutessilence, which had been aranged to syn-chronise with the actual moment whenthe coffin was lowered into the vault.Minute guns continued and no signalwas received that the Silence had be-gun. The officers commanding theGuardsmen lining the routes wereforced to make u quick decision, andsharply ordered their men to attention.

The crowds correctly interpreted thisas a sigu that the silence had begunand reverently observed it while theprocession continued its way to theCastle. Numbers, however, were notaware that the period of silence hadbegun. _____

Heavy sentences were imposed onseveral officers of tho liner MorroCastle, which was burned on September8, 1934, off Long Island with tho lossof over 130 lives. Tho men, who havebeen convicted of criminal negligence,include tho chief engineer. Ebon S.Abbott, who was sentenced to fouryears in prison, and tho acting captain,W. F. Warms, who is to serve a two-years sentence.

The executive vice-president, HenryE. Cabaud, of the operating company,was sentenced to one year's imprison-ment, but this was suspended on thostipulation that a 5000-dollar fineshould bo paid.

The New York and Cuba Mail Steam-ship Company, tho operators of thovessel, were fined 10,000 dollars, thoextremo limit provided by statute.

Tho Morro Castlo, a liner of 11,520tons, was returning from a cruieo toHavana, Cuba, with 318 passengers onboard when fire broke out in the shipslibrary during tho night, and spreadso rapidly that rfiany of the passengerswere trapped in their cabins. Tho vesselwas beached on tho Now Jersey coast,still blazing. Of the passengers, 94 Josttheir lives, and 43 of the crew of 232also perished. Captain W. R. Wjlmot,commander of the vessel, had died ofheart failure six hours before the firebegan, and the chief officer, Warms,was in charge of tho ship. The weatherwas rough at tho time, and difficultywas experienced in launching the boats.Many of tho passengers jumped over-board as they were driven aft by thoflames. It was alleged that many of tho,crew forced their way into the boats,leaving tho passengers to shift forthemselves. .

A Federal inquiry was opened im-

mediately, and it was disclosed thatwhen the fire was reported to tho bridgeby a watchman at 2.45 a.m., thesecond officer, Clarence Hackney, ex-amined the situation and spent fiveminutes spraying the flames, which hadalready spread to tho walls and coiling,with a fire extinguisher before return-ing to the bridce to ask for a hose.Warms said he did not send the S.O.S.even after Hackney's report, becausehe " thought we could handle it-"Asked whv the fire spread so rapidly.Warms admitted that " it not out ofcontrol." The fight against the fire wasabandoned about 20 minutes after itwas first reported by the watchman be-cause light and power failed belowdecks and the water pumps stopped.Warms said that he could get noanswer from the engine Toom, amidid not know what had happened untilAbbott, the chief engineer, appeared onthe bridge and said: "There is noth-ing more we can do down there withoutchokintr to death, so we've shut offeverything.

MURDER IN PRISON

CONVICT'S TERRIBLE DEATH

LOEB-LEOPOLD CASE RECALLED(I?eceived January 29. 5.5 p.m.)

NEW YORK, Jan. 28A message from .Tolict, Illinois, states

that Richard Loeb, who with NathanLeopold, was serving a life gaol sentencefor the murder of Robert Franks in1924, was to-day slashed to death by a

fellow convict, James Day, whoattacked him with a razor.

In recent years Loeb had beenallowed considerable liberty within theprison, and with Day was organising acorrespondence school for the rise ofprisoners at the time of the attackupon him. Without going into details,officials intimated that Loeb was stillafflicted with the degeneracy whichhad been evident in the attack onFranks.

Loeb and Leopold, who were bothsons of leading Chicago families whosewealth represented at least £5,000,000,were sentenced to imprisonment forlife on September 10, 1924, after theyhad confessed to the kidnapping andmurder of a boy called Robert Franks.Loeb and Leopold planned their crimemonths ahead. They discussed togetherthe feasibility of kidnapping differentboys, and, finally, they picked onFranks, with whom Loeb was in thehabit of playing tennis in the latter'sgarden. Having enticed him into awaiting motor-car, especially hired forthe purpose, they murdered liiin andleft the body in a drain. Efforts todestroy tho features with acid failedbecause of water in the culvert. Laterthe boys posted the ransom letter andtelephoned Franks' home, making -anappointment to meet, "his father at anearby drug store. Meanwhile thecrime was discovered, and the conspira-toru abandoned their plan to collect10,000 dollars ransom. " Wo had beenreading stories of kidnapping and suchadventures," stated Leopold when con-fessing tho crime. "We had all themoney we needed, of courso, but wethought it would give us a new thrillto kidnap some youngster and hold himfor ransom. At first we did not plan tomurder him, but then we found thatthe only way to play safe was to killhim "

Jjeopold, who was the youngestgraduate who ever passed out of theUniversity of Chicago, was the son ofthe president of the Morris Box Co.,while Loeb's father was formerly vice-president of Sears, Roebuck and Co.,tho great mail-order firm. Both youthsbelonged to what they called " the in-telligents " and posed as poets. Leo-pold, although only 15, was a doctorof philosophy, and spokaten languages.

LONDON. Jan. 29The Naval Conference will reassemble

to-day for tho first discussion of theBritish plan for reducing tho sizo ofvessels and guns, including thelimitation of the submarine to coastaldimensions. However, the ' proposalsalready seemed to be doomed, says theDaily Telegraph's naval correspondent,owing to American, French and Italianopposition.

The American attitude on qualitativelimitation has visibly hardened sinceJapan withdrew from tho conference.The American view is that Japan'saction appears to foreshadow a bid fornaval domination over the whole of theFar East, therefore it would be madnessto make concessions which would cur-tail the range and striking power ofthe United States Fleet.

The conference, therefore, is most un-likely to effect any reduction in thesizo of future warships.

" Both Findlay and my solicitor tol<iimy wife and 1 that Barry would fixthings up. Findlay was told that therewould be £2OO for hiin. Findlay, on ourwinning the second habeas corpusaction, left for Australia.

" The arrangements were that tho£2OO would be cabled to him at theMasonic Club when all wasFindlay returned to New Zealand andexplained that James had had a rowwith Mr. Barry at the Crown LawOffice and forced Mr. Barry's hand."

He remembered a cable-gram being sent to Desmond in Well-ington saying: "I will accept £20,000for the Australian rights and give youpermission to grant an option for thepurchase of tho New Zealand rights."

Cross-examined, the sergeant saidthat Campbell had a number ofaliases. His first convictioi\ was whenhe was 18 years old, which was about20 years ago. According to a reportmade by Findlay some time ago Camp-bell had received from £7OO to £IOOOfrom the sale of shares,

MASS MEETING OF MEN

PROTEST AGAINST MACHINES

[JIY telegraph—OWN correspondent]HUNTLY, Wednesday

All the coal mines in the Huntlydistrict will be idle to-morrow and amass meeting of men will be held todiscuss the use of machinery in themines and decide a course of action.About 1000 men are involved.

A protest against the coal com-panies using machines for extractingcoal in the pillar workings at themines was voiced at a largely-attendedmeeting of miners in the Town Hallthis morning. The men consider tht*practice most unsafe for working.

Officials of the Northern Miners'Union travelled to Rotowaro and Mc-Donald and other centres this after-noon and held meetings there.

In answer to the men's reported ob-jection to the use of machines for theremoval of pillars, men who have longbeen associated with the control of theindustry in the Waikato stated thatmachines had been in uso for thispurpose in Waikato mines for a num-ber of years. They have no knowledgeof any accident ever having arisenfrom this source. In any case the in-terests of the men are closely safe-guarded by the mining inspectors, andit may be taken as quite certain, theysay, that if there was any danger asso-ciated with the use- of the machinesthe owners would have had their at-tention officially drawn to it by theMines Department.

"The machines are used because theyare generally quicker and moreefficient," said one who is concernedwith the management of these mines."The present dispute is more a ques-tion of earnings than of danger, andif the men were getting higher pay forthe machines nothing would be heardabout the danger."

Another representative owner saidmachines were suitable for use on sometypes of pillars, but not on all types.In the Waikato mines they were onlyworked on pillars in places where itwas definitely safe and suitable to do60. He added that he had never knownof any accident occuring through theuse of the machines.

As the day pro-gressed the promise of early morningnas amply fulfilled by conditions thatrould scarcely have been better, theheat of the sun being tempered by alight breeze in the afternoon. The tem-perature in the shade at four o'clockyesterday afternoon was 78 degrees,compared with 79 degrees at the same

hour on Anniversary Day last year,which was one of the hottest days oflast summer

Huge crowds were moving by 8.30,Bud excursion steamers, privatepleasure-oraft, trams, buses and motorvehicles bore innumerable parties bentpn pleasure. An air of festivity re-placed the atmosphere of quiet thathad existed since the death of the King,and gay bunting fluttered where Hags athalf-mast had been part of the city'stribute. The city was in a bright mood,and goO'd-h unionred crowds jostledcheerfully as they sought places on boat,bus or train.

The Harbour and Beaches

The annual regatta, regarded bymany as' the principal attraction ofAnniversary Day, was watched not onlyby those fortunate enough to be on theharbour, but also by hundreds of peoplewhose homes command views of theWaitcmata. The calm of the morningwhich distressed the yachtsmen, in noway interfered with the pleasure of thespectators.

High tide on the Waitcmata latein the m6rning attracted eager crowdsto the beaches. Other resorts also werewell patronised, and patient fishermendotted the wharves and jetties, baskingin the sun. A crowd of 12,000 peopleattended Ellerslie racecourse for thesecond day of the Takapuna JockeyClub's Summer Meeting, which was apopular attraction.

Many Motorists AbroadThe main highways out of Auckland

carried a great volume of traffic, andservice-station proprietors reported ex-ceptional business. Many cars with tentsstrapped to the luggage-carriers wereseen, particularly on the Great SouthRoad, which was busy throughout theday, there being only a slight slacken-ing in the stream of traffic toward noon.

The finals of the Auckland tennischampionships at the Stanley Streetcourts were watched by a crowd of en-thusiasts, and followers of cricket were

CROWDS ON BEACHES

DAY IN THE SURF

ALL RESORTS PATRONISED

Hot, sunny weather and favourabletides attracted thousands of people tothe beaches yesterday for the Anniver-sary Day holiday. In spite of numer-ous counter-attractions large crowdsgathered at practically every mainlandbay on both the Waitemata and theManukau. while many others wentfurther / afield, to distant points on theshores of the Gulf, to the islands, andto the West Coast.

Many' who patronised the beachesbetween the City and St. Heliers had,of course, the dual purpose of watch-ing the regatta as well as enjoyingthemselves in the water or 011 thesands. A stream of motor-cars andbuses that was almost endless passedbackward and forward along thewaterfront road throughout the day,and at each inlet, scores of cars wereparked. Mission Bay was especiallypopular. The sea was thronged withbathers," while 011 the foreshore hun-dreds basked in the sunshine or soughtthe shade of trees and tents.

At St. Heliers, Kohimarama andOrakei the scene was of like nature.The tiny Judge's Bay had its patrons,and at noon, when the tide was atits full, the crowd there was particu-larly large. And at the Parnell Baths,from the morning until tlie late after-noon, many found refreshment in thecool water. Down the Gulf, at Buck-lands, HoWiek and Maraetai, furtherhundreds congregated

Ferry boats to Devonport early inthe day were laden with people boundfor resorts as far north as Brown'sBay. A huge crowd gathered at Mil-ford, where selections were played bythe Mount Eden Boys' Band, and adisplay was provided by the MilfordSurf Club. Excursion steamers andlaunches also visited Kawau, Waiheke,Motuihi'and Rangitoto, and all werewell patronised.

The Manukau received its full shareof the holiday-makers. Large numbersassembled at French Bay, BlockhouseBay and Waikowhai, and motor ser-vices catering for these localities re-ported heavy traffic. Many travelled tothe West Coast as well, Piha. Kare-kare and Muriwai proving most popu-lar.

From a vacation point of view theday was perfect for members of thegeneral public; from a business angleit was regarded in a similar light bythe- vendors of ice-cream, soft drinksfind other refreshments at every beachTrade was exceptionally brisk for, ap-parently, the water * alone was notSufficient to cool the crowds that weretorching. in the 'dazing sun. And inthis respect, perhaps the most para-doxical sight of the day was an itiner-ant ice-cream seller pedalling a heavytrade cycle on the waterfront road,

The desirability of uniformity in thesoldiers' graves at Karori Cemetery was

stressed by a deputation from the Well-ington Returned Soldiers' Associationwhich interviewed the Minister of In-ternal Affairs, Hon. W. E. Parry, lastweek.

The president, Lieutenant-Colonel A.Cowies, pointed out that where an ex-soldier died of a proved war disabilitythe Government supplied a headstone,but where war disability was notproved, the Government did not supplythe headstone. Every ex-soldier whodied was entitled to be buried in thesoldiers' plot, and if the Gm-ernmentdid not supply the headstone it was leftfor the relatives to do so. However, insome cases this was too much of afinancial burden for the relatives, andwhite crosses only were provided. Inthe Karori Cemetery there were 774graven, and of that number 242 werewithout headstones. The stones cost £010s Gd each. The association contri-buted to the upkeep of the graves, butfelt that where the relatives could notsupply headstones there should be 110line of demarcation between thesoldiers. .

In his reply, the Minister expressedappreciation of the work being doneby the association. He expressed sym-pathy with the feelings of the associa-tion,' and undertook to give the pointsraised consideration.

MAORIS AS MUSICIANS

The excellent command of the Eng-lish language shown by Maoris,especially by the guides at Rotorua,has left a deep impression on Mr.Roland Foster, of the Sydney Conser-vator ium of Music, who is touring NewZealand. He mentioned in an inter-view at Christchurch that he had at-tended a Maori concert at Rotoruaand was pleasantly surprised at thofeeling for harmony, balance andaccurate intonation

WEST COAST GOLDLARGE MINING PROJECT

AUSTRALIAN PROPOSALS

GOVERNMENT APPROACHED

POWER SCHEME INVOLVED

A statement that the Governmentwas at present considering proposalsby an Australian company which wasprepared to spend £750,000 on gold-dredging on the West Coast of theSouth Island was made in Wellingtonthis week by the Minister of PublicWorks, the Hon. P. Semple, accordingto the latest issue of the Standard, theofficial organ of the New ZealandLabour movement. One of the com-pany's proposals, it is stated, is that

I the Government should arrange for thej production of electricity that is neces-

i sarv for the development of the schenio.I "One of the chief reasons for our

j hurried visit to the West Coast was theI question of developing hydro-electrici power for an Australian dredging com-pany," the Minister is reported to have

; stated. Mr. Semple recently visited the| West Coast, accompanied by the Minis-

-1 ter of Mines, the Hon. P. C. Webb. "A! reliable Australian company is willingto spend three-quarters of a millionpounds on the building of two, or prob-ably three, of the largest dredges in theworld.

"The firm has already spent manythousands of pounds on thoroughlyprospecting the ground, and is perfectlysatisfied that the dredges will be payingconcerns," Mr. Semple continues. "Thefirm is still prepared to go on prospect-ing in the hope that even greater de-velopments will take form. It is esti-mated that it will take 15 to 20 yearsto work the country out with thesedredges.

Provision of Electricity"We will have to generate the power,

and the question which the Cabinetmust decide is whether this will bedone by the Government or by privatecompanies. If the Government is giventhe job, the money will be got backagain in the price charged for power.The community, as well as the Aus-tralian firm, will make use of the powcfacilities. The question is, at present,who will generate the power?

"It will be the biggest dredgingscheme to be put into operation in thiscountry," continues the statement."The company concerned is. thoroughlyreliable and has money to spend. Itdoes not embark on wild-cat schemes,but spends money prospecting beforemaking decisions. This company doesnot base its calculations on the presentprice of gold, but on the valueof £4 an ounce. This gives big scopefor fluctuation. Should the price ofgold drop seriously, the company wouldstill be on the safe side. The policy ofthe company has hitherto worked togreat advantage*in other countries, andthere is no reason why it should not boeminently successful here.

Surface Only Scratched"It is my belief that so far we have

only scratched the surface of ournatural wealth in that part of the Do-minion. It would appear that greatavenues will very shortly open up. Thiscompany proposes to havo the dredgesbuilt on the spot and ready to work in14 months from the time it gets the de-cision giving it the assurance that thepower will be forthcoming. I met Mr.Watson, the representative of the com-pany, and he struck me as being a very-capable and energetic man, possessed ofa fund of knowledge.

"This mining aspect comes under thesupervision of the Hon. P. C. Webb,"concludes Mr. Semple. ' Mr. Webb isvery enthusiastic and is doing every-thing possible to develop gold mines. Icome into the picture as Minister ofPublic Works. My task is to see thatthe development of the hydro-electricscheme is satisfactory."

PERSECUTION OF JEWS

TREATMENT IN GERMANY

"AN UNDENIABLE SCANDAL"

Two outstanding facts were noterl inHitler's national socialistic regime byMr. W. D. G. Hartley, of Dunedin,who recently returned to Wellingtonafter an overseas tour. They wereHitler's violent anti-Jewish and his noless violently anti-Christian policies.The first was a racial, political andeconomic movement, he said, and thesecond was racial and religious. Headded that while it was difficult to getGermans to express their frank opinionsof the. Hitler regime, he had formedthe opinion that Hitler had suffered adecline of power and popularity.

Mr. Hartley thought this was largelydue to the growing influence of Hitler'slieutenants and their greed for power.It seemed that some of the light ofHitler's star was being taken away fromhim. The Government's financial policy,however, had the confidence of thefinanciers, and there appeared to be noimmediate concern about the country'seconomic future.

"A prominent German clergymantold me he had not suspected that theanti-Jewish movement would developinto an anti-Christian one, since theState religion was Christian. It neveroccurred to anvone, this clegyman said,that Christianity was to be attackedand a Government effort made todestroy it."

Mr. Hartley said the plight of theJew in Germany was an undeniablescandal. Thousands of Jews «ore beingput out of business and hundreds hadbecome so irritated and disheartenedthat they had gone into the woodsand shot themselves; and the averagemiddle-class German gave the Govern-ment his full sympathy in that policy.

VETERINARY WORKSCHOLARSHIP AWARDS

TRAINING NEW ZEALANDERS

PROVISION BY GOVERNMENT[by TELEGRAPH—OWN correspondent]

WELLINGTON, Wednesday

Five new scholarships in veterinaryscience this year and four more, oneyearly within five years, are to beprovided by the New Zealand Govern-ment. Kadi scholarship will be of a

value of £IOO a year, plus steamerfare annually to Sydney and back forthose students who may seek instruc-tion at the Sydney University Veteri-nary College.

All announcement to this effect wasmade to-day by the Minister of Agri-culture, Hon. W. Lee Martin, whoexplained that the Cabinet had ap-proved of the proposal to establisharrangements under which assistancecan be given to young New Zealandmen to obtain qualification in veteri-nary science.

Details of the project were givenby the Director-General of Agriculture.Dr. C. J. Reakes, who mentioned thatin the case of students deciding to goto one of the schools in the I nitedKingdom the £IOO scholarship wouldhold, but no return steamer passagewould be provided. It was pointed outthat at present the veterinary courseat Sydney University is of four years'duration, but that after 1936 it wouldbe extended to a five years' course.In the veterinary colleges of the UnitedKingdom it was already five years.Therefore, students entering at Sydneynow will have a course of one yearless than those entering after this year.As the course at Sydney will com-mence in March, there admittedly isvery little time available for intend-ing students to apply, but advertise-ments inviting applications will bepublished as soon as possible.

Under the existing arrangements theproduction of certificates to the effectthat students have passed certain ap-proved examinations by the New Zea-land University will be taken into con-sideration by the governing body ofSydney Veterinary College, which canremit from the first year's course.

Students who are granted thesescholarships will be required to enterinto an agreement with the New Zea-land Government that they will under-take, after qualifying, to work in theDominion for a period of five years,either in the service of the Departmentof Agriculture or otherwise in somecapacity as required by the department.

"POT-HUNTING" CONDEMNED

A parent wrote to the WellingtonEducation Board last week and askedif there was a medal awarded, as inEngland, for long and unbroken schoolattendance, her son having attendedfor seven years without a break. Theencouragement of "puerile and pettypot-hunting" in children was roundlycondemned by several members of theboard when the letter was read.

GISBORNE RAILWAYOFFER MADE BY BOARD

CONDITIONAL COMPLETION

MONOPOLY OF TRANSPORT

[by telegraph—rßF.ss association]CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday

A statement from Wellington thatbefore the general election the formerCoalition Government was in posses-sion of a report from the RailwaysBoard recommending the completion ofthe Napier-Gisborne line was referredto the former Minister of Railways.Mr. Forbes, to-day.

" The offer of the Railways Boardto withdraw its objection to the com-pletion of the line was made to theCoalition Government only on condi-tion that all district traffic was securedfor tin; line," Mr. Forbes said.

The position was under considerationwhen the general election was held. Nodecision had then been reached, and 110public announcement had been madeabout the board's recommendation.

Mr. Forbes said lie could not recallany similar recommendation which theboard had made about the completionof the South Island main trunk line,as had been suggested."From what 1 remember, the board

offered to withdraw its objection to thecompletion of the Napier-Gisborne lineif the whole of the district traffic wassecured for the line," said Mr. Forbes" This would have required a good dealof legislation, and in fact would havemeant legislating off the road thosepersons who were already runningmotor services. There would have beena different complexion 011 the matterif the motor services had not beenestablished before the advent of therailway, but they were in active opera-tion, and legislation which would havethe effect of driving them altogetherfrom the road would naturally have re-quired most careful consideration, and110 public announcement was madeabout the board's recommendation."

LATE SIR JAMES MILLS

you will agree, can be summarised byhis faith in God, his faith in his fellow-men and his faith in himself," saidthe Rev. E. M. McLcvio at thememorial service conducted by Arch-deacon Bullock in St. Paul s Pro-Cathedral, Wellington.

"It is not easy to estimate thedepth of a man's religious life becausethe changed manner of the outward ex-pression of religion makes this especi-ally difficult to-day, and because aman's natural rcscrvo may keep sucha matter in the secret of his ownheart."

The speaker said there were severalthings which led him to supgest thatSir James Mills possessed a living faithin God. "Speaking personally, 1 re-member last year, when Sir James

resided temporarily in the parish :nwhich 1 serve, his conversations and hisinterest in religious matters were fur-ther evidences of his great faith."Those who worked under Sir James

knew that lie put complete faith andtrust in them. He realised he could notcarry out all his dreams and hopes, butmust leave much to others, and healways got the best from those he em-ployed by his faith in them. It showsgreatness of character to trust one'sfellow-men as ho did," Mr. McLevieadded.

MARAUDING DOGS SHOT

STATION OWNER'S "WAR"

LOSS OF VALUABLE SHEEP

"Warning! Do you value your dog?If so, keep him off this property." Asignboard bearing this inscription is pro-minently displayed on the fence of asheep station through which the HappyValley Road runs down to the sea fromBrooklyn, states the Dominion, Well-ington. But the legend on the boardis only the beginning of the story. Thetails of three dogs nailed to theboard proclaim to passers-by that thethreat is 110 idle one. Until a few daysago the three tails were surmounted bythe heads of two (.logs shot by orderof the owner of the property, Mr. E.F. Dorman. What remains, however,is still grimly suggestive, as Mr. Dor-man intended it should be.

Ever since he acquired Happy Valleystation 10 years ago, with its 5000acres and 6000 sheep, Mr. Dorman hashad to contend with sheep-worrying bydogs from the city, and from time totime lie has lost valuable animals fromhis Hocks. In the aggregate the damagehas amounted to several hundredpounds.

The owner's troubles reached a climaxrecently, when two rams, valued atsix guineas each, were killed, amongother sheep, by a marauding Alsatian.Rising early one morning Mr. Dormanshot the dog while it was worrying; hissheep. Several dogs of other breedscaught among the sheep have met thefate of the Alsatian. To emphasise thatthe warning notice near the gateof the homestead was not to be lightlyregarded Mr. Dorman had the headsand tails fixed to the board for all tosee.

This startling display has attractedthe attention of many people using theHappy Valley Road, and the exhibithas been freely photographed. A num-ber of animal lovers have taken excep-tion to the shooting of the dogsand to the rather gruesome characterof Mr. Dormaivs warning notice. Butlie is continuing with his policy and isdetermined to protect his sheep fromfurther killings and mainlines. At thecity end ot the station sheep-worryingbecame so bad that an area called theBrooklyn paddock had to be closed forfarming purposes for a considerabletime.

" Most of our main ideas as regardsinitial legislation have been given formand substance," Mr. Savage added,"and only require to be phrased in bills

by the law draftsman." One of the first measures to be

submitted to the House of .Represen-tatives early in the session will be abill dealing with finance.

GOVERNMENT'S OBJECTIVES"NO OBSTACLE WILL STOP US "

[BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION*]WELLINGTON, Wednesday 1

"We have fought life's battle longenough to know the magnitude of thetask that lies ahead of us and theresponsibility thrust upon us," said theMinister of Public Works, the Hon. R.Seinple, at a reception in his honour atKilbirnie to-night, tendered by his con-stituents of Wellington East. "We havethe courage to do the job and noobstacle will stop us," he said.

The Minister's allusion was to thework in prospect for the LabourGovernment in the months to come. Hestated that his visits round the countrysince his elevation to Cabinet rank haddisclosed that there were barriers tothe Government's programme and pit-falls in its path. "As 1 have said be-fore," added Mr. Semple, "if there isan obstacle it will be removed. There isno force that will stop us gettingthrough with our work."

PRINCIPLES UNCHANGED

WELLINGTON, Wednesday

"The Labour Government stands un-changed in its principles from those itstood for 30 years ago, and it is stillthe same advocate of Socialism," saidthe Minister of Mines, Hon. P. 0.Webb, during a reception at Kilbirnieto-night to the Minister of PublicWorks, Hon. R. Sempie.

"It is the times that hare changed,not Labour's principles," continued Mr.Webb. "The Government represents anew thought in the world to-day anda new order of society. The publicconscience of New Zealand rebelledagainst the old order of things andLabour was given a mandate to giveexpression to the awakened Conscious-ness."

The people had played their part ina determination to give effect to thenew order. It now remained for theGovernment to play its part, Mr. Webbsaid.

CALL TO CHRISTIANS

ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY"WORLD AT THE CROSSROADS "

[from our own correspondent]LONDON, Jan. 4

In a broadcast address on NewYear's Eve, the Archbishop of Canter-bury said he had ventured to invitethe authorities of Christian com-munions in Europe to issue simultane-ously to their,own people some solemnreminder of their responsibility. "Theanswers I have already received." hesaid, "show that in the week begin-ning the first Sunday of the New Yearthroughout a great part of Europe,and with a unity never hitherto at-tained. an appeal to the loyalty ofChristian citizens will be made.

"Much depends upon the answer.For assuredly Europe, and indeed theworld, stand at the crossroads. Theone road—the way of Christ —mustlead to peace. The other must sooner c rlater lead to a confusion in which allthat we mean by civilisation may belost.

"In the confusion of the presentday," continued the archbishop, "letthe word of Christ be heard—'l amthe Way.' The Christian way meansthat each nation should, do to theothers what it would wish these othersto do to it; that it should care for its

neighbours as it cares for itself. Onthis basis it would substitute concernfor the common good for envy, trustfor suspicion, friendship for fear. Whatis certain is that if, in fact, this waywere followed, it would lead to peneoand to the blessings which peace wouldbring.

"This is no mere plea for preachersIt is said that human nature beingwhat it is this ideal is impracticableeven though it be true. But humannature has been, and can be, changedif it is willing; and if the ideal is truethe only course is to do our utmost tofulfil it.

"It would, I think, make a greatdifference if instead of thinking of theChristian way we would think ofChrist the Way. For then loyalty tothe Person, the living Person of Christ,would lead Christian citizens every-where to regard the ideal not as un-folding a distant dream, but as im-posing a present duty. They would de-liberately set themselves and try toset their fellow-citizens on the way.Jt is just here that Christian citizensat this time in the world's life havea responsibility which they dare notset aside."

MANGERE DISPUTEPOSITION OF WORKERSMAJORITY OF MEN PRESENT

SOME OBSERVE HOLIDAY

THE WAGES CONTROVERSYThe majority of the men employed

on the Mangere aerodrome improve-ment scheme'continued work yesterday,but some, as was also the case at Hob-sonville, exercised the option of observ-ing the holiday without pay. Uncer-tainty still exists as to the number ofmen who have permanently left thejob, considering themselves unsuit-able, with the intention of applying forsustenance.

The number of men employed atMangere on January 17 was 280, saidan official of the Public Works De-partment yesterday. On Monday after-noon last, when the men resumed workafter a stoppage of several days owingto a dispute over wages, the total was231, he continued. Of the absentees, 18had been reported to the Labour De-partment, at their request, as beingdesirous of returning to their respectivebureaux to be placed on sustenance. Ithad been anticipated by the departmentthat 10 of these men would be sent backto the iob by the Labour Department,but so far none had returned.

At Mangere yesterday, he continued,the men working totalled only 152. Itwas assumed, however, that themajority of the 79 absentees were ob-serving the holiday, and had not per-manently left.

" There seems to be some differenceof opinion among the men as to themeaning to be taken from the state-ment made by Mr. F. E. Lark, secre-tary of the Auckland Provincial Unem-ployed Workers' Association, gn Mon-day," said the official. " Some considerthat after the conference to be held"within a month. 14s 8d a day will de-finitely be decided upon as thß basicwage. Other men interpret Mr. Lark'sremarks as meaning that it will be sug-gested that 14s 8d should be approvedas the basic wage."

In a statement published yesterday,Mr. Lark denied that he had statedthat 14s Sd had been guaranteed. Whathe actually said on Monday, he con-tinued, was that a conference would beheld within a month, and an agree-ment would be entered into between thePublic Works Department and theworkers with respect* to a basic wage,and the 14s 8d had beee suggested.

FUTURE OF ASSYRIANS

SETTLEMENT IN SYRIA""

ESTABLISHMENT OF COLONIES[from our own correspondent]

By Air MailLONDON. Jan. 4

The Assyrian Christians, who wereamong the most hardy of Britain'sallies during the Great War, will soonbe able to enter their promised land.It is not quite true to say that theyhave spent 40 years wandering in thewilderness, but for nearly half thatperiod they have had no home whichthey could call their own. They hadto leave Turkish territory as a resultof the part which they played duringthe Great War. They helped theBritish authorities in Irak, incurringthe hostility of the local population fortheir pains. Ever since Irak achievedself-government their lot in thatcountry has been unbearable, and theLeague of Nations has been trying tofind them territory elsewhere to en-able them to settle in safety.

A Trustee Board hds now been ap-pointed by the League Council to beresponsible for the settlement opera-tions, particularly from the financialpoint of view. This is a sequel to theFrench offer of land in the Ghab dis-trict of the mandated territory ofSyria. Previous to this, the Leaguehad explored the possibilities of settle-ment in other parts of the world,notably Brazil and British Guiana.In the Ghab area large tracts ofland will be reclaimed. The Assyriancolonies will be establis-hed. The owner-ship of the land is to be vested in theIrustee Board, "whicli will hcivo powerto make suitable arrangements withthe refugees. Most of the settlers, itis expected, will buy their holdings bvinstalments. As they become self-sup-porting, they will pay off more andmore of the money which has beenvirtually loaned to them until even-tually the property will be theirs.One of the biggest problems con-fronting the League of Nations hasbeen to find sufficient funds to startthe scheme. Something like £750,000will be needed. The British Govern-conscious of its special responsi-bilities in the matter, has offered toprov.do £250,000 on condition that asimilar sum is forthcoming from theIraki Government. Some financial bur-den must inevitably fall upon theLeague, ,n spite of its restricted bud-get. ihe League's Supervisory Commis-sion has voted only part of the sumrequired, but strenuous efforts arebeing made to overcome the difficulty.

REGATTA DAYHARBOUR PAGEANT

GAY AQUATIC SPECTACLE

CROWDS OF SPECTATORS

LIGHT WINDS DELAY RACES

Almost every boat in Auckland'spleasure 'fleet spread its canvas on thesparkling waters of the Wfiiteninta Har-bour when the Anniversary Day Re-pattn was held yesterday. Hot sunshineanil a cloud-flecked blue sky made con-ditions ideal for the hundreds of boli-dav-makers who watched the sailingevents from launches, ferry boats andwharves, but the day was not one togladden the hearts of the competingyachtsmen, who wished for a stiffbreeze to send their craft 'racing clownthe harbour, and had to bo contentwith light winds, which compelled them•inlmost to idle along.

But the lack of a good sailing breeze•did not spoil the racing, even if it mighthave tried the patience of timekeepersand officials on the flagship, and mostof-•■the day the skippers of all craftfrom big A class keelers to small sail-ing dinghies bad their seamanshiptested in the search for each puff ofwind to gain an advantage over theirrivals. They had their reward late inthe afternoon, however, when a stiffbreeze brought the yachts racing liomo--ward with lee rails awash.

Forest of White Sails

The light winds had the effect ofkeeping the boats close together, and

this made the regatta more spectaculaithan usual. Spectators on land andf-hore saw a sight scarcely equalled inany port in the British Empire—a forest jof innumerable white sails against abackground of blue, stretching downthe harbour as far as Devonport andcloser to th-3. city, more yachts of allfcizes; with every stitch of canvas setto catch the light airs, gliding slowlyalong, the -crater rippling gently fromtheir bows.

The scene was a gay one, all the ves-sels in port being decked in flags, andthe waters of the harbour were dottedwith beflngged launches and white sailsin every direction. It was primarily aday of sail, but power craft played theirpart in the sport. Launches of all sizes,many crowded with holiday-makers,moved to and fro upon the harbour,or clustered round the flagship to actas grandstands for the races, and smallcraft of every type, from speed-boatswith roaring engines to canvas canoespaddled by sunburned small boys, dis-turbed the sparkling waters.

Ferry Boats CrowdedMeanwhile the ferry boats went back-

ward and forward across the harbour,keeping to their daily task—unchangedby the holiday—and seemingly disdain-ful of the yachts and medley of smallcraft through which they threaded theirway without harm, like Atlantic linersamong coasting vessels. Every boat wascrowded with holiday-makers, many ofwhom used the trip as an opportunityof getting a close view of the regatta.One' of the Devonport Steam FerryCompany's largest steamers made anexcursion round the harbour in theafternooft, and it was packed from stemto stern.

Centre of all the regatta activitywas the Te Awhiaa—the AucklandHarbour Board's tug, which took theplace of H.M.S. Dunedin as flagship,the warship not .being available on !account of the death of King George V.With a record entry in all the sailing ,events, -the officials on the tug had ;little time to spare. Occasionally, how- ;ever, there were breaks in the routine |as official visits Fere paid to the flag-ship—first by the Mayor, Mr. ErnestDavis, then, at intervals, by Commo-dore the Hon. E. R. Drummond, offi-cer commanding the New ZealandDivision of the Royal Navy; by Mr. C.G. Macindoe, chairman of the Auck-land Harbour Board; and Mr. D. Hol-derncss, the board's superintendent.Other visitors were Vice-Admiral J. E.T. Harper and Mr. C. H. T. Palmer,president of the Auckland branch ofthe Navy League. They were receivedby the chairman of the regatta com-mittee, Mr. T. L. Thompson, the vice-chairman, Mr. E. Griffiths, the harbour-master, Captain H. H. Sergeant, Cap-tain W. Ross, and other members of thecommittee.

Naval Whalers' RaceThe naval whalers' race, a rowing

contest which always arouses a greatdeal of enthusiasm—especially from theshipmates of the crews—was one of themost interesting events on the pro-gramme. Three naval pinnaces loadedwith wildly cheering ratings followedthe race, and after a grim struggle,the Royal Naval Volunteer Reservewhaler won by 4ft. from H.M.S. Philo-mel.

Memories of 20 years ago, whentrading cutters and scows were regularcompetitors in the regatta, were re-vived by the race for seine net fishingboats, which was put on the programmefor the first time this year. Twelveboats started, their workmanlike rigcontrasting effectively with that of thetrim white-painted yachts and launches.The competitors evidently treated therace as part, of an enjoyable holidayouting, and every boat carried rela-tives and friends of the owner. Aninteresting race was won by Busy Bee.

A feature of the regatta was thespeedboat races, held in the basin be-tween Prince's and Western Wharves.Large crowds lined Prince's Wharf andwatched these fast craft sending upclouds of spray as, with their enginesroaring, they rounded the buoys.

BATTLE WITH SEAA HOME-MADE YACHT

HOLIDAY CRUISE ORDEAL

TRIP FROM HOBART TO SYDNEY[ KltoM oun OWN CORRKSI'ONDKNTI

SYDNEY. Jan. 20

After battling through n raging galewifli great seas threatening to engulfllioir liny craft, a Tastnanian party,in tlioir backyard-built yacht, recentlyreadied Sydney from Hobart.

'Hie voyage was undertaken as a lioli-day cruise, but the six members experi-enced nothing but hardship, discomfortiind anxiety. The trip took 1-5 days andthev averaged two hours' sleep,obtained when they made their onlytwo stops at Green Cape and Kden, lorrest. Tho electricity supply failed, thestove burned out, and to cap the crew'smisfortune, tho beer went had and hadto be thrown overboard. In spite of allthis, the party has lost none of itsenthusiasm for deep-sea yachting.

Tlioir boat. Windjammer, is a 40ft.marcoui-rigged yawl, built by theowner-skipper, Mr. Horace Tate, a

blacksmith, who is an enthusiasticHobart (Tasmania) yachtsman. Mr.Tate was accompanied by his wile,J()-yoar-old daughter Kathleen, andMessrs. 11. M.vler, D. Johnson and F.H. Anders, follow members of thollobart Royal Yacht Squadron. Ontho second day out, in bad weather,the yacht grounded on a sandy burnear Sloping Island, oil the Tasmaniancoast, and bumped badly for four hoursbefore being towed clear by tho steamerKoomeela. At daylight on the followingday a gale sprang up, and tho yachtand its cheerful crew went through aterrific battering. Wind and seas con-tinued to rise. Crockery and saucepansdanced and leapt in the tossing yacht,and smashed china and glassware werethrown overboard.

Meals were, a nightmare. The fuelstove burned well, but the yachtsmenwere constantly being thrown againstits glowing top, and it was allowed toburn out. When the electricity failedtho course was steered with a hurricanelamp, placed for alternate half-hours oneither side of the compass to correcttlie metal's magnetic induction. NearMontague Island, off the New SouthWales coast, only a few minutes aftersharks had been sighted, tho owner-skipper fell overboard and had to bohauled on again with a line bv one ofthe party, who heard his shout.

GOOD HOLIDAY TRADE

EXPERIENCE IN VICTORIA

BUSY MELBOURNE SHOPS

Tho Christmas shopping tradethroughout Victoria was exceptionallygood. One leading Melbourne firm esti-mated that more than £1,500,000 incash passed into the coffers of cityshops by Christmas Day. This was£500,000 more than the previous year'sspending, the increase being attribut-able to the greater purchasing powerof the public and the fact that Christ-mas week of 1935 had an additionaltrading day.

On December 1G £2,500,000 in Com-monwealth loan interest was madeavailable, and banking officials believethat a large proportion of this moneywas spent. Cheques drawn on all Mel-bourne banks for tho week ended De-cember 16 totalled £15,881.892, an in-crease of more than £1.500,000 on thesame period in the previous year. Mel-bourne banks estimated that the pub-lic had about £29,000,000 in hand,equal to tho amount held in 1933, whenAustralia had the best wool cheque formany years.

"MOSCOW NIGHTS"

REGENT THEATRE FILM

The London Films production "Mos-cow Nights," which will commence aseason at the Resent Theatre to-mor-row, is claimed to Ik1 one of the mostexciting stories of espionage andromance yet produced. Enthusiasticnotices in the London press empha-sise the outstanding quality of the pic-ture. According to the London Dhil.vTelegraph it is not only the best pic-ture ever directed by Anthony Asquith,but one of the best made in a Britishstudio. Its success is duo partly to thestriking contributions made by thothreo leading players, Harry Baur, aprominent Continental player, makeshis first appearance in British filmsas Brioukov, a rich Russian peasantand a wartime profiteer, while othergood performances come from LaurenceOlivier, as Ignatoff, a wounded officer,and Penelope Dudley-Ward, as Natacha,a hospital nurse.

The setting is in pre-revolutionaryMoscow. Natacha is engaged to Briou-kov, but the marriage is interruptedwhen Ignatoff begins a love affair withNatacha, his nurse in a hospital. Igna-toff later becomes trapped by a war-time espionage organisation and iscourt-martialled, his fate depending ona single word from Brioukov, a hostilewitness. This scene provides a stirringclimax to a strong drama, in whichBaur gives a remarkable display ofthe dramatic ability that has madehim so popular on the Continent.

Other powerful episodes in the storyaro played between Penelope Dudley-Ward and Harry Baur, and are par-ticularly effective because of the strik-ing contrast between her fragileEnglish beauty and the somewhatbrutal appearance of his make-up. Thepicture has spectacular backgroundsand a delightful musical accompani-ment. Less important roles are capablyfilled by Athene Sevier, Lilian Braith-waite, Sam Livesey and Robert Coch-rane.

ANDREWS DEFEATS STURT

MISS D. NICHOLLS* SUCCESSES

The jubilee championship tournamentof the Auckland Lawn Tennis Associa-tion was concluded at the Stanley Streetcourts yesterday. The weather was fineand there was a large attendance. Thestandard of play was high all roundand some very interesting matches werewitnessed. Until about midway throughthe afternoon, when a welcome breezesprang up, the players found the hotsun very trying.

Visiting players met with a good dealof success, E. D. Andrews and the Well-ington contingent being particularlyprominent. Andrews, formerly ofPalmerston North, but now mostlyresident in England, won the men'ssingles title, and, in conjunction withN. G. Stui*t, gained the men's doubleshonours. Miss D. Nicholls, of Welling-ton, was even more successful, as, be-sides winning the ladies' singles cham-pionship, she shared the honours in theladies' doubles and the combineddoubles.

A remarkable record wag establishedby Miss M. Beverley, of Matamata,as she won four titles. Yesterday shewon both the junior and intermediatesingles, and, with S. S. Hooper, ofPalmerston North, won the intermedi-ate combined doubles. The previous day

j she and Miss P. Cooke gained the hon-j ours in the intermediate girls' doubles,

i Upon the conclusion of the men's| doubles final, the president of the asso-I ciation, Mr. Percy Harrison, welcomed| the visitors, making special referenceI to Miss D. Nicholls, lady champion ofthe Dominion, and E. D. Andrews. Hethen introduced Miss J. Mowbray,0.8.E., Auckland's first lady championin 1887, and winner of the title fivetimes subsequently. Miss Mowbray pre-sented the trophies to the successfulcompetitors.

BATTLE OF TACTICS

PLAY IN MEN'S DOUBLES

OTHER INTERESTING MATCHESThe final of the men's doubles cham-

pionship provided an interesting battleof tactics. Coombe and Dyer weredefinitely on top in the first set in whichthey dropped only one game. Andrewsand Sturt were both unreliable in theirreturn of service and were frequentlyoutgeneralled by well-directed lobbing.In the second set Dyer and Coombewere both broken through and, althoughDyer made heroio efforts to hold his de-livery in the sixth game, it was of noavail and Andrews clinched the set witha fine forehand drive.

Andrews started service at the open-ing of the second set and won afterbeing o—3o0—30 down. He and his partnerwere now playing with fine understand-ing and were able to leave the court forthe rest period with a valuable lead oftwo sets to one. At this stage theyhad definitely improved upon their open-ing play and were taking advantage ofevery opening that came their way.

A series of lost services in the fourthset left Andrews and Sturt ahead at3—2, Andrews being prominent with hisclever placing which seemed to con-stantly find loopholes in his opponents'defence. Dyer put up a great defencein the sixth game, but it did not availhis side and Andrews and Sturt in-creased their lead to 4—2. Coombe andDyer won the seventh game, but it wastheir last effort as Andrews and Sturtran out at 6—3.

In the ladies' doubles final MissesMacfarlane and Taylor began erratic-ally and were down o—4 against Mrs.Melody and Miss Nicholls. Indeed thelatter pair were within a measurabledistance of s—o, but the Aucklandersimproved in control and saved the game.Their respite was brief, however, andgood interceptions by Mrs. Melody weremainly instrumental for the set going tothe visitors at 6—2.

The Auckland pair raised the hopesof their supporters by taking the firstgame in the second set. They thentrailed at 2—4. Miss Taylor had chancesto readjust the balance on her service,but a misunderstanding over a centre-court shot enabled Mrs. Melody andMiss Nicholls to take the game for a5—2 lead. The Auckland pair reached4 —5 with a break through MissNicholls, but they were unable to checkMrs. Melody, although one match pointwas saved after an exhausting rally.

Commenced late, the combineddoubles* final between Andrews and MissN. Beverley and Coombe and MissNicholls reached a high standard andprovided much to interest the" specta-tors, who waited to see its conclusion.Andrews and Miss Beverley led 2—l byvirtue of a break through Miss Nicholls,but Miss Beverley, under a heavy bom-bardment by Coombe, was unable tohold her service and the match wansquare at 2-all. Andrews also lost hisservice and Miss Beverley falteringbadly on her forehand the Wellingtonpair took the next four games for theset. Coombe and Miss Nicholis main-tained their supremacy in the secondset and drew away from their opponents

win at ft—3..

PLAY IN SINGLESMEN'S FINAL CONTEST

GENERALSHIP OF WINNER

FIRST SET TO AUCKLANDERAndrews won his service against

Sturt, and it was evident from thestart that the lastnamed was going todo much more running than his op-ponent. Andrews drove deeply anilaccurately to the corners and Sturtwas frequently applauded for a suc-cession of cross-court returns fromeither hand. The Aucklander has sel-dom been seen to better advantage and,playing almost faultless tennis, he wonfive games in a row.

Varying his high-kicking service withfast ones, and lobbing cleverly whenSturt advanced to the net, Andrewswon the seventh game and gave evi-dence that the set was a long way frombeing decided. Sturt's steadiness, how-ever, prevailed over his opponent's in-consistency.

Sturt wanted a point for a 3—l leadin the second set, but he lapsed intoerrors and the games were evened at 2-all. Profiting from the experience thathe was being passed continuously at thenet, Andrews stayed near the baseline,from where he was able to vary hispace, length and direction with theconsequence that he was able to keepSturt running from side to side of thecourt.

The play was decidedly interestingand the score was even at 3-all. An-drews won the next two games andthen two double-faults contributed to-ward his loss of the ninth. Sturt bril-liantly saved with a cross-court back-hand when Andrews was set-point.Splendid volleying, however, carried thevisitor through.

The first game in the third set, offAndrews' service, was a long one, deucebeing called several times. Sturt ap-peared to be tiring and Andrews ranto a 4—l lead. Magnificent backhandpassing shots gave Sturt the sixth andseventh games. The Aucklander wasthe victim of a lineman's bad decisionat a critical stage of the eighth gamewhich went to Andrews, who also wonthe next to lead by two sets to one.

The 10 minutes' interval proved bene-ficial to Sturt, who was again seen inhis best form in the early stages of thefourth set, and he held a lead of 3—2.Andrews' greater variety of shots, how-ever, combined with his wider oxperi-cence, then won for him the next fourgames for the set and match.

MISS NICHOLLS' WIN

FIRST SET TO OPPONENT

STEADINESS BROKEN DOWNThe match between Miss Nicholls and

Miss Ramsay was admirably umpired,with no doubtful decisions, and it lastedabout an hour. Miss llamsay wonthe toss and, naturally, elected to

serve. She took the first game on heropponent's error. Games then went withservice to 3-all. Heavily-cut shots,which slowed down Miss Nicholls' paceand eventually forced her into over-driving, drew Miss Ramsay level at4-all, and she held her service for a5—4 lead. Miss Ramsay had matchpoint in the 10th game with a deepforehand chop which, breaking away,forced her opponent to net, the Auck-lander winning at 6—4.

The second set opened with fine playon the part of both contestants, andby greater speed Miss Nichols brokedown some of the Aucklander's steadi-ness to win the first two games. MissNicholls continued her run and tookthe fifth game with a delicately-playeddrop-shot across court. She fought offthe first and only volley in the matchin the sixth game and followed witha deep drive to take the set to love,Miss Ramsay also failed to win a gamein the third set.

In a survey of their relative strokesone saw the reasons for Miss Nicholls'success and her victory vindicated thevalue of pure stroke play. On defenceand attack she upheld the textbookand on both wings she could get paceand length, the fundamental essentials.Miss Ramsay's mainstay was a fore-hand chop, which she plied with muchresource. She has never been seen tobetter advantage in Auckland, andgained well-deserved applause for aplucky effort.

THE YOUNGER PLAYERS

ADVANCEMENT IN STANDARD

MISS M. BEVERLEY'S RECORDIt was fitting that the Auckland

Lawn Tennis Association's jubilee yearshould bo marked by a great advancein skill on the part of a number ofyoung players. Never beforo has sucha wealth of talent been apparent and,if early promise counts for anything,Auckland in the near future shouldhave a number of players worthy ofrepresenting the Dominion almost any-where. Most conspicuous among thosewere undoubtedly Miss Margaret Bever-ley and A. D. Brown.

Miss Beverley annexed the girls'junior singles, the girls' intermediatesiugles, the girls' intermediate doubleswith Miss Cooke and the intermediatecombined doubles with S. S. Hooper,truly an imposing array of successeswithout taking into consideration hervery fine showing in the senior events.The hope has been expressed that shewill not overdo this tournament play,and thus perhaps spoil what at presentseems to be a brilliant future in thetennis world.

A. D. Brown's record is not quite sogreat, but he has undoubtedly madea rapid advance in skill, and he is de-finitely on the upgrade. Others whoshowed up prominently were S. Hooper,A. T. Lamond, A. W. Allen, J. L. B.Stevens, J. W. Gunn, and Misses B.and P. Cooke.

Splendid tennis was seen in the finalof the intermediate singles betweenMiss M. Beverley and Miss B. L.Bishop. After an even start Miss Bever-ley shook off her opponent and tookthe set at 6—2. The second set wassimilarly played, but it went to MissBishop after long and attractively-played rallies.

In the third set Miss Beverley gaineda useful 3—l lead by breaking throughher opponent's service, aided by adouble-fault at a crucial moment. Abrilliant volley, which earned well-de-served applause, gave Miss Beverley a5—2 lead and she drove brilliantly inthe eighth game to force Miss Bishopinto error and take tlio set at 6—2.

Miss Beverley's footwork provided anobject lesson to all who saw her andthe high standard sot by both con-testants augurs well for the future ofAuckland ladies' tennis.

Although he did not spare himselfJ. W. Gunn was no match for A. D.Brown in the final of the men's inter-mediate singles, and Brown won instraight sets. Brown's driving from theback court was severe and accurate and,when he really needed a point, he wasusually able to gain it by an advance..to the net.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORSMOKING IN TRAMCARS

Sir,—I have always found tramwar-men civil and obliging. The only faultI have to find with the conductors isthat they do not stop people fromsmoking in non-smoking compart-ments. I never ride in a smoking com-partment, and yet I am annoyed manya time by a person smoking alongsideof me. Non-Smoker.

SAFER MOTORING

Sir,—It is a matter for general thank-fulness that motoring over the holidayperiod has been a safer method of traveland has been attended by fewer acci-dents than previously. This happy stateof affairs is in some measure due tothe efficient work of that very fineorganisation, the Automobile Associa-tion (Auckland). It is to be hoped thatmotorists will continue exercising thecaution which the plainly markednotices on the numerous signposts urgethem to take. S. G. Shaw.

BROADCAST APPRECIATED

Sir,—I should like to express my ap-preciation of the music given over theradio from IYA and other stations sincethe lamented passing of our late be-loved King George. Those who heardthe beautiful programme put on fromour chief station immediately after theannouncement that the end had come,last Tuesday, will remember for manya day Chopin's " Funeral March,"" Abide With Me," " There is noDeath " and "0, Love That Wilt NotLet Me Go." It has been a great treatto have such a week of good music—Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Mendelssohn—string quartets, overtures marches,hymns, choruses from the orato-rios, and operas, folk songs andnegro spirituals, ballads and good dancemusic. Would it be asking too much ifa determined effort should be made tokeep radio programmes at this highlevel in future, and so raise the tasteof the public, if indeed there is anylarge public who do not now appre-ciate the best ? W. F. Kennedy.

AUCKLAND HOSPITALSir, —1 would esteem it a favour if

you would grant me space to expressmy very deep appreciation of the won-derful manner in which patients aretreated in the Auckland Hospital. Dur-ing my stay there I was amazed at theefficiency shown by all ranks, by thesplendid co-operation between doctorsand nurses, and, above all, the greatspirit of affectionate regard shown bydoctor, nurse and patient one towardthe other. Truly it does one's heartgood to feel this bond of sympathy andlove. One nurse remarked to me' thatthe people of Auckland just take thehospital for granted, not realising theimmense range of human suffering inour very midst behind those big greywalls. To find such a wonderful spiritof affection between the honorary doc-tors, surgeons, and the staff and nursestoward their patients gives one someidea of that something we call service.In closing, may 1 pass on my specialthanks to doctors and nurses of theCostley Block, Ward 14. May God blessthose truly splendid men and womenwho labour for the cause of humanity,for their labour is not in vain wholabour so. John M. Carter.

DISCOURTESY ON TRAMS

Sir,—"Citizen's" letter shows I amnot alone in rny contentions, and bearsproof to my previous remarks. "Grate-ful" is fully entitled to his opinions,but he casts a similar slur as "Justice,"which calls for no furtherreply from me.I cannot see that Mr. Hallyburton-John-stone's example disproves the state-ments of "Citizen"; he is assuming cer-tain actions which, in my opinion, haveno bearing on "Citizen's" letter. Mr.J. Thornes gives me the detailed dutiesof a tramway conductor, which I am,of course, fully aware of; they haveBimilar duties to perforin in Welling-ton, and there never have been, to myknowledge, over the last 10 years, anycomplaints regarding the conductors inthe capital city—they are practicallywithout exception, most obliging andcourteous to visitors; this has beenobserved and extolled time and timeagain. Your correspondent B. M.James draws reference to the assist-ance that is given to blind and elderlypeople, etc. I would be indeed astoundedif that were not the case, but asa young -man visiting Auckland 1, un-fortunately, did not leceive the ordinarycourtesies which one has a right to ex-pect, there being one exception only.I would assure Mr. Ford, manager ofthe Auckland Transport Board, whocommented on my letter, that I didnot write without reason. I also desireto be absolutely fair, and allow thatalthough nearly aH I met were dis-courteous, the remainder, which wouldconstitute a majority, may be entirelythe opposite. I never intended implyingotherwise. I wish, however, to make itperfectly clear that my experience isnot an isolated one; for apart fromthe letter signed "Citizen," which sup-ported me, many people here, and inAuckland itself, have expressed to methe same opinions which I have alreadygiven utterance to. E.M.

Wellington.

ORGANISED GAMES

Sir,—Throughout the school holidaysn large number of children havejoined in the varied games organ-ised for them at Myers and Vic-toria Parks by the games supervisorand her assistant. The Auckland CityCouncil wisely saw the need of ap-pointing an assistant for the schoolholidays this year, thus making it pos-sible to have someone on duty at theparks all the time generally to super-vise the playgrounds as well as organ-ise games. A number of cricket andbaseball rounder matches have beenplayed, including two cricket matchesagainst Grey Lynn Park. Then there arethe small ones to plan for, and they areever so happy playing "The FarmerWants a Wife," etc. One wonders whatmischief these hundred odd sturdy andactive children would get up to ifthere were no parks and no supervisorsthere to hold their interest and teachthem the rules and essentials of teamplay, which are so invaluable to charac-ter training in children. Games havea real educational influence on childrenand build up physical, mental and moralvitality. The social development ofgames is also very important. Many chil-dren do not easily co-operate withothers. But with tact and patience onthe part of the teacher these awkwardchildren can take their place with theother children. The nervous child soonjoins in, and the pushing, selfish childlearns to take equal turns with theothers. The most important factor ofall in the training that comes fromgames is the development of the will.The courage to take risks, the deter-mination to make a run or win a game,the restraint nnd self-control necessaryto play an exciting gamo fairly has in-finite value in character training. Alargo part of the difficulty in the up-bringing of children lies in the factthat this power of restraint and self-control is undeveloped. To be ahle inthe excitement of a close game to ob-serve rules, to choose under such cir-cumstances between fair and, unfairmeans and to act on that choice helpstoward the building of characters inour boys and girls that will make thembetter citizens in the years to come.

Parnell had first use of JCo. 2 wicket atEden Park .against Y.M.C.A. and a fineeecond-wicket partnership for 118 rims be-tween Stephenson and W. M. Wallace, ofwhich Stephenson scored 94. placed the teamin a good position. Stephenson was badlydropped before he had reached double figures.His store/included 14 boundaries and oneFix, and it was a forceful display. Wallacefound the boundary four times in his scoreof 33. Another good partnership betweenH. G. Vivian and G. Siddle for 52 materi-ally assisted Parnell. Vivian was slow atfirst and appeared impatient, but openedout to "score with delightful shots all roundthe wicket, six boundaries nnd one sixbeing included in his score. Siddle gavea polished display to carry his bat for 42.T. Lyon bowled well in taking five wicketsfor 55.

"Wickets .'fell early #» Y.M.C.A.'s innings,but Hook with crisp shots on either sideof Ihe wicket compiled a good 74. which:'-duded 11 boundaries. Gillespie also foundthe boundary 11 times in scoring a Bound70, mostly" with hard shots through thecovers. M. Lyon and Carter appeared setto score the necessary runs, but time wascalled with the total 19 short, the gamebeing drawn. The fielding of both sidescould have shown improvement.

EXCITING FINISH

FINE WIN TO NORTH SHORE

The large numbcT of ('.20 runs was scoredin an exciting game at Devonport, whereNorth ShoTC secured a first innings decisionover Kind's Old Boys in the Inst two min-utes of the same. .Excitement was highamong a largo crowd of spectators, whenthe heme team secured the runs necessaryfor victory in a fighting finish.

Favoured by a perfect wicket, King'sOld Boys batted first and made the finetotal of 307. Although giving severalchances, L. M. Smith pluyed a very attrac-tive innings for King's Old Boys in making01. He hit eight boundaries. S. G. Smithalso revealed good form in making 46 notout, while the other principal scorere wereMartin (40), Pearson (38). Simpson tookfour wickets for 93 and Dacre four for 101.

"With only 180 minutes in which to bat,North Shore appeared to have little chanceof victory. Attacking the bowling, however,Walters (81), Curtayne (52) and Ferguson(35) put the side in a good position. How-ever, wickets fell quickly, and a win forKing's Old Boys appeared likely, but asplendid Inst wicket partnership betweenBush and McDevitt, which added 30 runsat a vital stage, gave the home team thedecision. .Andrews took six wickets for 94for King's Old Boys.

AUSTRALIAN RUGBY

PREPARING FOR SPRINGBOKS

The decision of the New South WalesRugby Union to organise an importantinterstate carnival this year, to be heldin Sydney, shows that it has made anearly start to develop talent for thebigger matches later on, says an Aus-tralian writer. It is the only way tobring out talent of the class needed tomake a keen and close game with theSpringboks when they come across toAustralia and then New Zealand on thenext tour. .

There is no dearth of high-gradeyoung players—the Great PublicSchools football, alone, shows that. Butthe best of that talent has »to bebrought into prominence. This can bedone only by very keen attention. Hav-ing found the players, the most im-portant matter is then to mould theminto first-class teams—that is, fifteensrepresenting the State or Australia,who possess the best qualifications inclub combinations.

RECORD SHOT PUTT

COMPETITOR HECKLED

Heckling won Victoria the shot puttevent at the recent Australian cham-pionship athletic meeting. Wilson (Vic-toria) after three rounds was third and,as he stood poised for his next putt,he was distracted by bystanders whowere far too close to the ring. In disgustho stepped out of the circle and tossedtho weight away. The spectators loudlyheckled him for his action and. some-what annoyed, Wilson picked up the161b shot as though it were a ball andhurled it 43ft. 1 7-Bin.—the winningputt and a foot further than he haddone before.

WHAT TO DO FORNERVOUS INDIGESTION

When nerves go wrong they alwaysstrike at your weakest spot. When thisspot happens to be tho stpmach,nervous dyspepsia results, appetitevanishes, and is replaced by an un-easy, hollow feeling that keeps upuntil every nerve in your body seems"on edge." The food you force downwon't .digest properly, and you'reknocked up, down and out for one dayat least so far as being really useful toyourself or anyone else is concerned.

It's the height of folly to force thedigestion of food with some pepsin pillwhile the stomach nerves are in suchshape. Nervous indigestion comes fromnerves alone. Get your nerves rightand you'll feel tip-top, and eat anddigest what you eat as any normal,healthy person should. Nothing couldbe better for such cases than a coupleof Phosphorated Iron Tablets eaten atevery meal or whenever you feel blueor depressed, and, your nerves areworking overtime. Phosphorated Ironis the greatest nerve tonic ever foundfor nervous dyspepsia, nervous head-aches, and upeet nerves generally. fltcalms and steadies the nerves whenthey want "to fly. It stimulates andstrengthens the nerves when they aredull, tired out "and sluggish, and youcannot concentrate your mind on work.Every tablet seems to go straight to thenerve cells, and puts ambition, viirtTvitality, confidence and courage inevery inch of your body.

All leading chemists sell thesePhosphorated Iron Tablets, 60 to at.uhe, on a positive guarantee thatif they do not bring results and givesatisfaction the money* paid for themwill be returned, and scores of peopleright here in town can testify to theirmarvellous efficiency.

THE CRY FROM THE ETHERBy MARCHAND BOSZEAT

Author of "Death at the Dawning."

CHAPTER XX.—(Continued),

" I think it would be better if DoctorGrang would consent to come here.After all, 1 suppose the chairman of abank is at liberty to call on hismanager. You might find it a littledifficult to reach tho bank withoutbeing watched.".

" Will Grang be there now?"" Ho's always there, at this time

or any other. Perhaps you don't know,but he's living there at the moment."

" Living there Y But how—wheredoes he sleep?' How about meals?""He has a luxurious flat in what

might bo termed tho attic that veryfew peoplo know about."" Oh, 1 see. Well, are you going to

ring him up?""Yes, but I'm going to do it from

the switchboard downstairs. There's a

tapped wire in one of these other apart-ments, am. it wouldn't surprise me mthe least if some of Long's men aren tlistening in on it day and night to anycalls for me."

The woman was seized with a suddenpanic. "Are they so suspicious then?^

"Suspicious perhaps. But untilthcv'vo got a bit more to go on theyqan't very well do anything. I won'tbe gone above a minute or two."

CHAPTER XXIDoctor Grang had but one hobby,

apart from his work. That was wire-

less, and strangely enough his greatestpassion was for listening to dance music.This queer fact *was but one more in

the weird make-up of the man. Manydeep and dark plots had been hatchedin his office while the music of Tressiniand his band from the Rochester Hotelhad sounded from the gigantic loud-speaker of exquisite tone that he haddevised and fashioned .with his ownhands and brain. Ho said the rhythmhelped his thoughts.

He sat at his desk listening, now,when Kresilnski's call came through.The sound of the buzzer roused himfrom his reverie, and as he recognisedtho manager's tones he knew somethingdesperate must have happened to needhis advice at that hour.

Grang's sallow, wrinkled face dark-ened as lie heard Kresilnski's message.So the manager had been right aboutAnna. Her jealousy had caused troubleat last. Now he had to form a planthat would release the girl and yetdivert all suspicion.

For a start he toyed with tho ideaof getting rid of the Dickson girl alto-gether now there was an opportunity.But would that be wise? No, becauseof Anna's message in the name of Kre-silnski to decoy her away. 1hat wouldmean nasty inquiries from Long to themanager, and to Anna as well if theycaught her. Kresilnski would have toface a few questions, anyway, but hecould stand up to them better than thewoman.

Regretfully he decided that he must"pension her off," after he had hit onwhat he considered the best plan pos-sible. At pity, but there it was. Hodismissed the matter with a shrug.He had thought of using the girl as atool to bargain with Long, but thatwould be coming out into the open too

He pressed the button that causedthe flickering light in Dandra's room.With a sign he motioned for hat, coat,stick, gloves and a car. When the giantmute returned, he crooked a finger.

Dandra came over to the side of thedesk and extended his hand. For nearlyfive minutes Grang tapped away indus-triously transmitting his instructions onthe giant's wrist, Dandra now and againnodding in comprehension. Finally hebowed himself out, and Grang wentdown in the lift to the waiting car.

He was painfully helped from thelimousine on arrival at Kresilnski sapartment, and it took him quite fiveminutes to negotiate the stairs.

Finally lie sank into a chair exhaus-ted. "I am .grieved," he grated, whenhe had recovered his breath, "that Ihave had to be dragged here. It is atrial at my age, but I suppose it can-not be helped, eh?"

"I'm sorry, Doctor Grang, but therewas no other way " began Kre-silnski, but the other waved him irrit-ably to silence. "Let us go into theother room, where we shall not be over-heard from tho corridor. You are quitesure, Kresilnski, that there are no hid-den dictaphones?"

"Positive," said the other. " I con-ducted a new search of the apartmentonly this morning, and I have not beenout since."

"Good, good," grunted Grang. "Now,liebchen," he went on, addressing forthp first time the waiting woman. "Thisis a very foolish thing that you havedone."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Doctor Grang. I rea-lise now that I have misjudged Maxim.Can you ever forgive me ? I have notdone such great harm, have I?"

"There, there, my little one. Be calm.Everything will be all right. There isnothing to fear. We shall make matterscorrect very soon."

"You have a plan?" put in. Kre-silnski eagerly.

"Doctor Hermann Grang has alwaysa plan when necessary. Don't forgetthat, my friend."

"What is it you suggest we shoulddo?"

"Where is the girl now?""I hacl her taken to Black Joe's

place by the river," said Anna."So. Well, Joe is no friend of mine,

so I shall kill two birds with one stone,as tho English proverb so aptly putsit. Now, listen. One of my men shallspeak to this girl and tell her that itis not you who have kidnapped her, butothers, intending to hold her for ran-som. You have only learned of her pres-ence by accident and threatened her,Anna, while you had the opportunity.

"You may not know, but on thenight that Jefferson Burton's keyswere supposed to have been stolen fromhis safe, certain papers were abstractedwhich showed Gloria Dickson as beingin possession of a substantial little for-tune. I suppose you were not aware,my dear Anna, that tho major portionof that fortune was lavished upon yourpersonal comforts while you were Bur-ton's wife?"

"No," said the woman wonderingly,"I didn't know."

"Anyway, that's neither here northere. The fact is that on paper she isstill in possession of tho fortune whichwas supposed to have passed to herwith tho death of her guardian. I willarrange to have theso papers found inthe room when the girl is found—orbettor still, I will have them sent withtho demand for ransom to tho womanwith whom she lives.

"Now we shall find somo man whowill agree to fetch a parcel from theplace appointed in tho note for theransom money to be lodged. Tho policewill obviously bo on tho watch, willseize tho man, and will learn from himthat the stranger who bribed him toretrieve tho package gave him his in-structions in a room behind Black Joe'splace.

"There will bo a raid. The girl willbo found, and everything will be allright again."

"Marvellous!" ejaculated Kresilnski.He could only see one flaw in the planas Grang had outlined it, but ho guessedthat would be attended to. What hethought of concerned Black Joe's state-ment to the police—the man would nothesitate to toll all ho knew to escape—-and the consequences that would in-evitably ensue if Anna ever fell intothe hands of tho police.

"Doctor," said Anna, "can 1 everthank you enough? 1 realise what, a fool1 was, hut you see how I love Max. 1couldn't bear to think of him with thatother girl. I "

A THRILLING STORY OF MYSTERY AND ROMANCE

"There, there, liebchen," croakedGrang. "Everything is all right. Youshall go from here to Jvanoviteh, andhe shall take you back in a car to St.Albans, where you will bo sale. But,remember, you must never come to Lon-don again until I make arrangementsand send for you." ,

As Kresilnski helped him with hiscoat, Grang patted tho woman patern-ally on the head and left. He knewthat once she arrived at the house ofStephan Ivanovitch and entered tin;car waiting there for her, Annatwouldnever bother him again.

. � * * •

It was with feelings of relief thatAnna Biirton left once more by theservice entrance after an alfectionate-good-bye to Maxim. Kresilnski couldafford to stretch a point in his aversionto her, because he had divined Grang'splan by this time.

By way of the back streets she cameto the house where tho swarthy Hus-sion from the Caucasians answered herknock. "Here iss do car," he said inbroken English

She got in with thankfulnees, thodoor was slammed and the vehiclemoved off simultaneously. She sankback into tho deep cushions of thoseat, and then stiffened with fear. Shescreamed. For in tho gloom of theopposite corner sat Dandra, and sherealised the dread import of his pres-ence.

Anna Burton was never seen again,for the giant deaf-mute from Czecho-slovakia did his work more thoroughlyin her case than he had done in thatof her husband.

CHAPTER XXIIEarly next morning Marshall Long

was awakened by the shrill ringing oftho telephone bell. He liad that usefulfaculty which comes to men accustomedto facing danger of instantly throwingoff all sleep at the moment of waking.In an instant he was out of bed andanswering the call. It was Mrs.Lambley.

"Oh, Mr. Long," she said, anxiously,"I'm so glad I've got on to you. MissGloria hasn't been home all night. I'mworried."

"Good heavens I" said Long. "Areyou sure?"

"Quite, Mr. Long. Her bed hasn'tbeen slept in "

"When did she go out?""Well, it would be about half-past

seven last night that a man came tothe door with a note. She didn't saywho it was from or where she was go-ing. While she was putting her hatand coat on she said, 'l've got to goout for a little time, Mrs. Lambley. Idon't think I shall be above an houror so.' I waited up for her until pastone this morning, and then I tried toget you, but there was no answer."

"No, I didn't got back until afterthree," said Long. "This is a bit of amystery. But don't you worry, Mrs.Lambley. I'll see about everything."

"Thank you, Mr. Long. It's such arelief. Let me know as soon as you hearanything, won't you, please. I feel sortof responsible."

"You couldn't help it, of course, Mrs.Lambley. Now be a good soul and don'tworry. Good-bye."

In an incredibly short space of time,Marshall Long was over at ScotlandYard in Jeremy Halton's office."There's some sort of fishy work on,"he told the detective. "Gloria hasn'tbeen home all night and I'm worried."

"You don't think she's doing any-thing about the Kresilnski matter, doyou?"

"No, she wouldn't do anything with-out telling me, I'm sure. What bothersme is that apparently a bloke of somesort came with a note last night, say-ing it was urgent, and she hasn't beenhome since."

"H'm. I'd better send a couple ofmen along to smell round and see ifanybody spotted the car. There mightbe something doing. You know whatsuburban neighbours are now andagain."

"Yes, I wish you would. 1 can't thinkwhat there is behind it. Have you man-aged to pick up Anna yet?"

"Not a sign," replied Halton, addingglumly, "I'm afraid we've fallen downrather badly on the business of watch-ing Kresilnski's flat. You remember wewere rather puzzled as to how Anna gotthere. Well, apparently there's two ser-vice entrances, one that's been disusedfor eighteen months or more now sincethe premises were extended. You canstill get in that way, though, and that'swhat Anna knew."

"I'm glad there's some explanation.That business of her visit was a littleuncanny. I wonder how many othertimes she's been there?"

"I hope wo manage to pick up some-thing about Gloria's disappearance. Idon't suppose it can be anything to dowith Kresilnski?"

"What possible reason would hehave?"

"She might have got hold or some-thing and have been picked up to keepher quiet." •

"But, even so, he would have hadto let her go sometime, unless . Oldman, you don't think " Long paled.

"No, no, of course not," said Halton,soothingly. "Not in these days."

"Of course not," echoed Long. "I for-got that she told me all about her visitin the morning. Well, I'm off to havea word with Mrs. Lambley."

It was a worried Marshall Long whoset off in his roadster. Had Gloria beenkidnapped? Surely she would net havegone off for so long without lettingsomebody know that she was all right.What possiblo idea could there be insuch a dashed foolish business?

In this frame of mind he arrived atMrs. Lambley's house. That worthylady was greatly agitated. "Mr. Long,oh, Mr. Long," she cried, hardly be-fore he was over tho threshold. "Seewhat's come by the morning post. Ad-dressed to me as well!"

Long took the papers from her hand.The first was on a coarse piece of cheapwriting paper that matched with theenvelope. "H'm," was Long's commenton tho post-mark, which he looked atfirst. "Posted London, W.l. That tellsa fat lot." ,

.In an almost illegible and obviouslydisguised hand, he read the note. "Dearmadam, wo know all about miss Dick-son who she is and wat. Unless youmake arrangements to pay over 1000£within ten days things will go hardwith her. Please put an agony 'mes-sage received' in Times tomorrow if youagreo. Don't tell tho police or it willgo hard with you and her. Put themoney in 1£ notes post restant pack-age addressed to P. J. Smith, c/o Pad-dington Road P.O. by Thurs. Andoblige."

"I'm sure I don't know what thisother document is, Mr. Long," flus-tered Mrs. Lambley. "It seems somesort of legal document."

"Yes, it is," returned Long absently,"ft's a trust agreement and makes MissDickson a comparatively wealthywoman. That is, if a certain somethingI have in mind hasn't taken place.Which I very much doubt. Anyway,don't you worry, Mrs. Lambley. Every-thing will be all right. I feel it in mybones.
