WELLINGTON', Tuesday.The Xew Zealand 4\ per cent loan

of £7,000,000. issued at £!>4 10/ percent un<l with « currency of twentyyears, has fallen Hat in London, sincethe underwriters are left to nurseabout So per cent of the issue. Dealingsin the scrip are reported at IV percent discount, and this means that theweaker underwriters have 'been un-loading and foregoing their commission,which is not a good advertisement forNew Zealand. The underwriter?, how-ever lmvo only themselves to blame,fur they must have approved of theprospectus before underwriting theloan. That a very serious risk wasbeing taken was obvious when theterms were announced. These termswere on all fours with those attachedto last year's issue, except that, theprice to tile public was £!)4 10/, in-stead of £!!.">. the difference of 10/ Percent being of small con-cquenec. Ln-tyear 1 he bank rate was 4 per cent, andBritain was operating on a "managed"'-paper currency. Now the bank rate is.5 per cent, and the Umpire is on a go dbasis. It is this latter that has in-fluenced the position. It will be re-membered that the whole difficulty >fexchange with London was due to theembargo on the export of gold- Asettlement in the metal could not. heeffected, and it was not until the dollar

Iexchange rate advanced that the Aus-tralian hanks were able to sell in XewYork bills on London, and with thecredits so obtained gold was procuredand shipped to Australia. Now theposition is very different. There i> n<>embargo on the export of gold fromLondon, consequently the i»usiralian,and New Zealand banks will be able todemand gold if the exchange rates onvoucher payments rise to what isknown as the "gold point." that is. thepoint at which it would be cheaper tvtransfer gold in settlement. The posi-tion in respect to this year's New Zea-land loan is that the net amount to bereceived by the Government w!ll ap-proximate to £<>.fioo.ooo. which in 'heordinary way, will be held at Jbo dis-posal of our Government in London.The excess of exports over imports forthe year ended March :'.l last wassliphtly nior.- than £.-..000.001). so thatthe credit at the call of the Dominionis about £U.r>oo.ooo. Out of this mustlie paid the interest on the public debt.and on such debts contracted by localbodies outside the Dominion, also forservices rendered by insurance under-writers, shipowners and others, andthis may be assessed-at £7.000.000 inthe aggregate. That would leave£4.."i00,000. but this amount would besubject to further deduction formaterial required by the Public WorksDepartment and ' municipalities andpower boards, and the actual transfer-able credit may not exceed a million,or. perhaps. a million and a halfsterling. What is feared ill ljOlldonis that" if the borrowing Dominions be-come! possessed of substantial credits,and are. forced to. or prefer to. with-draw in sold, the Bank ofEngland would be obliged, to protectits metal reserve, to increase the hankrate, wliich would he very disturbingto British trade and would react onNew Zealand by onusing a fall in theprices of our exportable products. Thefailure of the New Zealand loan queersthe market for the pending New .SouthWales loan of £ti,".00,000 and theWest Australian loan of £2.000,000.Last year New Zealand raisedc>ooo 000 in London, and this was

subscribed almost fourfold, and nettedthp Government £03 5/ per cent. Theannual cost of the loan after allowingfor expenses but excluding redemptionwas £4 Hi/-", per cent, and the rost >>fthis year's loan would be very littlemore." The return to the investor isabout £1 1-V per cent, as against £414/!) per cent on last year's loan.

MOTOR LICENSES.

QUESTION OF RESPONSIBILITY.(From Our Special I'orrwponrtent.l

TK AWAiini', Tuesday.The question of who would be

responsible if an incompetent driver of amotor vehicle in possession of a licensjmet with an accident was raisedby Mr. J. W. Mi-Carroll at last night'smeeting of the Borough Council.

Councillor McCarroll said the TownClerk took, or assumed, the rosponsibiltyof issuing licenses. What would be theposition supposing a person to whoma license was so issued proved incom-petent? Would the Council be liable inthe event of a compensation claim inview of the fact that the clerk wasa servant of the Council? It was alsostated that a. local garage proprietorhad made it known that lie wasauthorised to issue licenses.

Councillor C. G. Dowries said that ifthe clerk took reasonable precautionsurely he would not be held culpable.

It was decided to refer the matter to1the General Committee for a report.

"Auckland Star" Office,Wednesday, Hay 20.

Wholesalers aro unable to report anyimprovement iv retail trade, and,although country storekeepers are nowable to book forward for next month'saccount, it has not increased businessto any appreciable extent.

The heavy rain that fell during tboprevious week considerably hamperedshipping operations, as cargo could notbe worked in or out. with the resultthat many of the coastal vessels couldnot get away to schedule. Delivery ofoverseas consignments could not 1"'handled for the same reason, but, givena few days' fine weather, all work shouldbe quickly caught up. 11l tho King Colli)----_trv and northern districts rovers haveliccTiTTiniiing bank high, with the resultthat in the low-lying parts large areashave btr en submerged.

Bridges nave wen damaged, and insome districts the roads are bo bad thatit will be some time before they arepassable again, which is going to innhematters doubly awkward for those whohave not ordered the whole of their win-ter supplies.

Nut Kernalg.Walnut Halves.—Recent advices

received in regard to quotations forFrench perfect halves advise a decline inindent values of 7/ per cwt. Yelowshave also declined by a like amount.

Barcelona Kernels.—These are quotedat ii drop of 5/ per cwt on previous lists.- Brazil Kernels.—These have advanced2d per lb in sympathy with the latesubstantial advance on nuts. Suppliers*also state tluit this advance does notadequately cover the recent marketadvances. A report from Brazil statesthat the total receipts to date are givenat 1000 tons, with 700 tons) waitingshipment. The new crop is said to beextremely small and estimated at (WOOto 7000 tons, including all districts.

Currants.Amalias.—Since opening prices were

first named, a gqpd.,d,eal of business hastaken place owing to the advantageousrates when compared' with Australian.Since then indent rates have advanced2/ per cwt, and it is consideredextremely likely that the market v.illgo still higher, .

Bon Ami.Reductions have been made in the

f.o.b. cost of. Bon Aiui powder, whichwill enable retailers to seli to 1l)e pub-lic at 1/ per tin. Supplies are. expectedin about six weeks. No alteration hastaken place in Bon Ami blocks.

Chinese Peanuts.Advices were received last week from

Hongkong that peanut supplies weresmall generally, and that quality waspoor, which had the effect of hardeningthe market. Quotations received thisweek do not show much change but theabove information is expected to causeprices to move up.

Linseed Oil.English oils are Ijcing quoted nn a

weaker market, lists received about afortnight ago . ndviseu reductions.-, of apenny per gallon on both rawand boiledlinseed oil for forward shipment.Revised lists were received this week,advising an advance of a halfpenny pergallon on both grades, which would

«seem to indicate that the market is firm-ing again.

Smyrna Sultanas.This market has-recorded an advance

during the past few days of a half-penny per pound on all grades.

Sardines.The first of the new season's quota-

tions for Norwegian sardines were aiadeavailable about some weeks ago. Theseliave now been withdrawn and freshprices issued increasing previous quota-tions by (id per case. The first of thenew season's shipments are expected tobe made about August next, but so farvery little forward buying has been done,as, with the exception of one or twoof the best known brands, fairly heavystocks are being carried.

Macaroni and Vermicelli.Unfortunately New Zealand packers,

owing to the recent sharp advance onllour,"have not been able to manufactureon a profitable basis, and the factorylias now ceased operations. Small con-signments recently came to hand fromthe south, but when these are cleanedup buyers will again have to depend onAustralianand Canadian packings. In thisconnection it is advised that shipmentsfrom Canada will cost more than pre-.viously as they have lately had to standnn increase of 50 centß per 1001b in thef.o.b. cost.

Dates.One of the largest shippers of dates

lias sent o\it a small consignment stuffedwith Brazils, and as they are packed Incflllophone airtight packets they havelanded in perfectcondition and are meet-ting witha ready sale.

Tapiocas.Some of the Southern buyers were

evidently of the opinion that it would bedangerous to delay ordering their miji-jilies much longer in case the markettook si sudden turn upward, and inorder to get in at the lowest possiblefigure, counter offered at a small reduc-tion under last week's cabled quotations.Kellers could not accept, but offered tobook business at a slight advance, butafter some negotiating the original offer'was accepted. In some instances buyersfleeted to take a chance on tho marketand wait and;eee what trend this week'squotations would take. During theweek-end a cable was received from oneof the largest Singapore shippers recom-mending clients to seriously considerbuying at the present low levels. Theystated that if prices went any lowerproduction was likely to be materiallycurtailed, or alternatively, ifany demandsprang up from Europe, prices wouldquickly advance. Mail advice receivedindicates that' the Statistical position.at.Penang is about the same,a9is borneout by the following figures. ProductionlorMarch was estimated at 22,000 tons,■whilst shipments from Penang duringthe month, to all destinationsa,mgunie7d vto 2050 tons. Stocks held inlreuang as at the• end of March were!■.eetlniJttVl-.at73950 tons: forat 2J300 tons, st> thatthe stock position has not improved,---

American Resin.Since the early part of last month

Resin has been <m a rising market. At |the end of the month fresh quotations'.were issued advancing I! grade 17/ii, amiN grade' 12/ii per ton. During the lastweek quotations were again advanced,<; grade liy a further 1-")/ and X grade>y £1 ;">/ per ton. Some orderswere sent up at these last figures, butowing to further advances buyers wereunable to obtain coniirmul ion, sellerscoming back at a further advance of|Jo/ pur ton on i; grade.

Canned Fruits. ..Reports from California regarding new!season's pack indicate that very large;

crops of apricots, peaches and cherries jwill be available for canning. Tears,Ihowever, are said to be about the same jas last year, but it is expected, owing to .the heavy demand, that prices will be Ihigher than last season. Spot stocks iat producing centres are said to be get-'tijig short and are expected to be quite jcleaned up by the time the new season'scrop is available.

Sicily Almonds.Cables received during the previousweek advised further increases in thei

cunt of new season's Sicilys, the present ialteration being an advance of eight'shillings per hundredweight. Old sea- json's were also advised as being slightly Iweaker, but later cables indicated thatIthis was only of a temporary nature andthat present alterations have brought. 'the market price back to that rulingabout a fortnight ago. ° I

Chinese Rice.Cables received about a fortnight a<*oadvised that forward rates were sliolltlv 'weaker. Since then offerings have"beenw.tlidrawn. which would seem to indi-cate that producing markets are tirmin"

again. a

Walnuts.Quotations for Roumanian were with-drawn some weeks ago, but cablesreceived during the last few days advisethat further supplies are available at thesame figures as previously listed.

Cinnamon chips.

and c quotations, the"present "altersUohb being an advance of 1/0 per cwt,wluc-i makes the market higher than ithas been for :i long time.Hardware.. A general slickening off is noticeablem most departments and trading is Iquieter all round. At present thereI"of"lLi" VL" almost entire absenooiof booking forward for next month'saccount, most of the buyers seemingly!preferring to wait till the last momentbefore going over their wanted lists.Mocks are inclined to be on the heavyside with ample stocks coming forwardfrom Amenea and English houses. .Some.lines of goods from Czechoslovakia arein small compass owing to tho delay inshipment, which has been very slow insome cases six months elapsing beforebuyers were able to obtain delivery.

BUIUDtNG SOCIETY.ACTIVITIES IN AUCKLAND.

XKW CROUPS OPENED.The demand for sliares in the Auckland

Co-operative Terminating BuildingSociety has been very good during thepast year, notwithstanding tlic compe-tition of similar organisations in thecity. This is stated in the 2SUi annualreport just issued to shareholders.During the year live new groups wereopened and lilled. and names had beengiven in freely for 1lie (10th group whichiis tci consist of 2000 sliares.j The opening of this group inauguratesa new system. Recognising that eondi-itions have greatly altered during theJlast 2.) veins, the directors decided thatj the time was ripe toincrease the amount:of appropriations from £-400 to fS()o,

1and this is the arrangement under whichi the fiOth group was started.J The younger groups have shown satis-I factory progress during the past year.i The 37th and 38th groups became fiveyears old during the period under review,and the :!9th and 40th groups attain asimilar age this year. The ineomo forthe. year totalled £205.870 IT/4, notincluding trust monies to be refunded.

[ The report states that the older groupsjdid not contribute so freely towardsIthe total, but the deficiency was morejthan made up by the new groups,i The report adds: —j "The large sum appropriated for loans1during the year, after providing forwithdrawals and other demands, isjfurther evidence of the society's progres-sive policy. There has been a steadydemand for the money available. Tenderprices have been satisfactory in the latergroups; but. as usual now, many of thesales turned to ballots in the oldergroups, through the remaining share-holders wishing to wait till they winballots on their shares. The ballots wonand not used by the winners themselves,have changed hands at the usual prices,in most cases with the assistance of thesociety's office as agent. The total sumappropriated for loans is £12.i,.')04 0/8.This has been lent out on excellentsecurities, after careful inspection andconsideration. The total advances madeand authorised since the inception ofthe soeietv now amount to £2,osr>.2:fi)

2/2; the repayments to £1,402,880 is/7,leaving the balance owing £(>.52.r>49 3/7for which securities showing an ample,margin are held."

The profits for the year amounted to£1(1.427 8/11. The profits withdrawnduring the same period totalled £70*93/0, thus leaving a net increase of£0338 6/2, which left the total profitsj£174.977 0/9.I The directors have decided to levy arate of 1/8 per share this year to meetworking expanses.

COMPANY REPORTS.TAKAFUNA TRAMWAYS CO.

EPIDEMIC LESSENS REVENUE.\ The annual report and balance-sheetof the Takapuna Tramways and FerryCompany have been issued. The reportstates, inter alia:—] The directors regret that the resultjof the year's operations preclude theI payment of a dividend for the half-yearjended March 31, 192.".. The revenue forthe year, £3S,;ivS2, shows a decrease of£3180 as compared with last year. Thisis wholly accounted for by the infantileparalysis epidemic, which swept through

I New Zealand during the three summermonths, and absolutely cut on" and re-duced to a minimum all excursion traffic,at a time when the company looks for,and obtains its greatest volume of

irevenue. The loss attributable to thiscause would'exceed £4000;. The increase

I ill expenditure is due to cost of runningI extra trips to cope with the increasedI residential traffic -morning and evening.; The directors are confident that, givena normal year, the profit will continue to

! show a good return on the total capitali invested.

During the year the company's newferry steamer, s.s. Lake Takapuna, waslaunched, and on completion took over

Ithe service during November last, and»vith the comfort it provides has greatlyassisted to maintain the increase in resi-dential traflic.

It is pleasing to report that the great■bulk of the shareholders showed faith inI the undertaking by taking up their fulli quota of shares under the conditionaldividend under article IIOA, declaredduring the year, a total of 27,009 sharesbeing applied for.

Electric Trams.The- directors have done everything

possible to push on with the electrifica-tion of the tramway, and at last thp

Iprospects of early electrification appearIpossible now that the WaiLemata TowerIBoard has been set up and a loan ofI£200,000 carried by a poll of the rate-payers to allow the board to carry outthe reticulation of the districts. Thequestion of raising the capital to coverthe cost of the electrification, and the

! calling of tenders to carry out the workwill be put "in band during the next fewmonths.

During the year a poll of ratepayersI was successfully carried authorising theI Takapuna Borough Council to apply for!an amended Order-in-C'ouncil and dele-I gate such authority to the company.This provides that on the electrification

! of the tramway service a minimum tramfare f,or the first section ridden shall be2d instead of Id as now, with a slidingscale of concessions for residents for 24trip tickets. In return the company isto issue yearly, etc.. tickets on thesteamer at Devdnport Ferry Companyrates. This will have the effect of put-ting the tramway service on a betterfooting and save the company having torecoup its tramway losses from highsteamer fares as is now done.

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS.

TWO WEEKS IX AUGUST.Tn consequence of the prolonged school ,

inactivity following the usual Christmasvacation, on account of the juvenileparalysis epidemic, the Kdiu-ation Hoard ,had decided that then- should be onlyone school holiday, of one week ill !Aujrimt, for the rest of the -school year. ;To-day the board received requests from 1householders' meetings at Horn Horaand Whau Valley, as well as from the ,Auckland Kducation Institute, that theAugust holiday -should be two weeks ■instead of one week.

Mr. .1. I). McKen/ie moved that the!'requests be acceded to. and assured theiboard that the parents in the northerndistrict really desired that the holidayshould be two weeks, and they had not;been inspired to their proposal by anyof the teachers. ' ' ;

Mr. T. I. Wells supported the request,on his experience as a teacher, and his!observation that a holiday break wasireally necessary for the smaller childrenlat the end of each term of twelve weeks.'The motion was carried by a majority|nf ~i,e. and it was decided that theholiday be from Au-rust 17, to August

THE PEACE OF EUROPE.

For the cause ITiat lacks assistant*,For the tcrong that needs resistance.For the future in the distance,And the good that we can do.

Opinion!) may differ as to whether theGorman Minister of Foreign Affairs hasnot commuted an error of judgment byraising the question of the Easternfrontier at this juncture. For Europeanpublic opinion was certainly shocked andalarmed by the election of Hiudenburgas President of the Republic, and evenfrom the standpoint of the Nationaliststhere is nothing to bo gained by aggra-vating and intensifying the suspicionsof the Allies. Yet we can hardly doubtthat Dr. Strcscmann feels that he liasthe patriotic sentiment of his peoplesolidly behind him ill thus frankly re-cording Germany's refusal to accept thepresent delimitation of Poland and KastPrussia as a final settlement. We canhardly expect the Germans, exasperatedand humiliated by their great defeat, toconsider conscientiously and coolly allthe historical and ethnographical pro-blems involved. All that they can see, is that land which has been held by themin a political sense for some two cen-turies is now wrested from them, andthat a large area of territory which isin effect the ancestral home of theirroyal dynasty, and the source of theirpower, is now separated from them.Under tho circumstances we couldhardly expect them to acquiesce cheer-fully In the settlement, and no doubtDr. Stresemann felt that he wasmaking a liberal concession to Alliedprejudices when he declared that "Ger-many is not desirous of changing the, Eastern frontiers by resort to force."

But we need hardly remind ourreaders that there is another side to thequestion. ThePolish ease for a sweepingreadjustment of Germany's easternborder lino was so overwhelminglystrong that it eventually forced thePeace Conference to accept with modifi-cations Poland's claims. And it may befairly argued that the present frontierrepresents as close an approximation aspossible to tho principle of nationalitylaid down by the Allies for theirguidance in redrawing the map ofEurope. For the whole of the "corridor"which separates Kast Prussia fromGermany is virtually Polish in popula-tion—only IJ3 per cent being Hermans—and these provinces have returned Polishrepresentatives to the Reichstag eversince the German Empire was estab-lished. Further, as tho Poles rightlycontend, East Prussia itself was only aGerman colony planted in Polishterritory, and it needed the infamous"partitions" of the 18th century toinclude all this territory within Germanfrontiers. The "corridor" in no wayhampers tho economic life of Germanyor its commercial communications. Onthe other hand it is essential to theeconomic and national oxistpin-p ~fPoland; and it should never be forgottenthat the new Poland was established in1019, not only to do justice to the Polesbut to check any revival of Germanaggression and to hold militarist Ger-many apart f*r-tn Bolshevik Russia.

While, therefore, we may to someextent sympathise with the sense of lossand humiliation from which the Germanssuffer, we cannot afford to forget thatthe destruction of Poland in either theeconomic or political sense would meanthat the Peace of Versailles had beentorn up and the whole work, of resettlingEurope would need to bo recommencedafresh. It i< eom-eivalile that Mm Alliesmight be disposed to give the Germansa more indulgent hearing on this andother matters if there were not gravereason to fear that, in spite of Dr.

Strcsemann's pacifist protestations, Or-'Imany is even now arming aSid organisingfor a renewal of war at the first con-venient opportunity. And this specialplinao of the. situation is being broughtinto ominous prominence just now bythe refusal of the Allies to evacuate the

■Cologne nrea, on the ground that Ger-jmany has failed to comply with the

I disarmament conditions laid down in theTreaty. We have already dealt withthis matter in some detail, and, in viewof the evidence which we have quoted onother occasions, we are not siirprised tolearn that, the Allied Note to Germany-will shock German public opinion." Butthe Germans have only themselves toblame for the refusal of the Allies toevacuate Cologne, and hard as they mayfind it to put up will, the Easternfrontier, they will lie well advised torefrain from persisting in the policy ofmenace and aggression which baa sosuccessfully stirred up suspicion andfear of their intentions throughout thecivilised world.

ONLY ONE "CHARLIE."Mr. Charles Chaplin lias won his suit

reftraining an imitiitor from wearing hiscostume and copying his style. Sonicmay welcome the decision on tlicground that one Chaplin is quite enough,but it could be replied to them thatthey are not obliged to go to picturetheatres. The decision seems fair. Thereis only one Charlie Chaplin. Whateverono may think of his work, it is unique.He was the first that ever burst intothat silent sea, and it is just that hoshould reap the reward of originatingthat combination (if baggy trousers,small hat, moustache to suit, and cane,and blending the outfit into a newcharacter. We admit that the contrary

! might be argued. Where is the line tohe drawn? Was the music-hall comedianwho first offended by appearing in a rednose, a tiny hat, and a bulgy umbrellaentitled to patent these aids to humour?Could the protection of the law havebeen thrown round the whitewash brushhung on the kilt? Mr. Chaplin, how-ever, was proceeding against a man whodeliberately imitated him in all respects,even in name. For a performer to use, the name "Aplin" should deprive him ofthe last shred of sympathy. Taken inconjunction with costume and methods,it was a piece, of impudence that de-served to bo cheeked—with costs.

WHEAT CONTROL.After all, New Zealand is not going

to have complete freedom of trade inwheat and flour. The Government liasapproved of the prices fixed by arrange-ment between millers and wheat-growers,and has nfereed to pvit an embargo onAustralian flour if necessary, but allthis is on condition that wheat-growersundertake to bow ivn nrca largo enoughto provide for the country's require-ments. Xo doubt the Minister ofAgriculture would say that this condi-tion absolves him from blame forinconsistency. It is the best featureof the agreement. If tiicre is enoughlocal wheat something will have beendone to preserve an important industryand the people will not pay more thanat present for their bread. If worldprices decline they may be penalised,but if they soar, they will get anadvantage from the fixed local level. Ifthere is not enough, importation will bepermitted. If there is too much localwheat, millers, having to buy at a pricefixed now. may be in difficulties, but wesurmise that a local surplus is regardedas most unlikely. Wheat-growers havenow to show that the industry can befostered in this way. If they do notgrow enough wheat the Government willhave to withhold its sanction fromfuture arrangements of the same kind

CITY FINANCES.Most citizens will be surprised, we

think, to learn that as much as £70,000lias been spent on the Zoo, and that ofthis £31.000 lias come from the "elec-tricity funds." Nothing like such ncost was contemplated when the Zoo wasfounded. First of all there was a loanfor £10,000, and then there was a loanof £20,000, which was over-spent by£(1400. Of the balance, £31,000 has beentaken from "electricity money," whichwe presume is the money received by theCity Council for the sale of the oldtramway power plant to the PowerBoard. Surely this kind of financing isobjectionable. If the Zoo required theexpenditure of another £30.000—and wehave nothing to say against it as aZoo—the money should have been raisedin the ordinary way through loan. Themoney that the Council got for the saleof the power station should have beenset aside for some tramway purpose.II wns part of the capital account oftlio tramway system, and should nothave been spent in another department.Another point is the interest liabilitieson the Zoo. The Town Clerk said in Instnight's dism.-sion that if interest andsinking fund were charged the estimatefor the Zoo would lie increased by £500(1.This would be on the whole capita!expenditure of £7«.onn, but al»,,i half

Jof this was not loan money. If, however,Iwe cut .iown this interest charge byIhalf it will still leave the Zoo withi a deficit on the year's estimates. Thepublic has been told more than oncethat the Zoo paid its way. This mayhave been true in 1 lie limited ofthe relation of revenue to maintenance,but was it quite candid? It was rightlydecided at last night's meeting to have areport prepared on the finances of theZoo. The institution should have aseparate account in all respects, so setout Unit its position can be plainly seen.Last night's diseus-sioi) on this subject,however, has a wider significance. Itsuggesth that the new Council will bemore inquisitive about finance than theold Council, and less inclined to leavethings Ui the Mayor.

'The school committee, which a fort-night or so ago was elected as the firstcommittee of Cornwall lark school,waited on the Kducation Hoard thismorning, and stated ttlat they foundthey had to start work without anyfunds at all. They considered an urgentneed for the school to be the tarringof the two approaches to the groundsand of the assembly ground, on whichthe boys were drilled. The board madea grant of £10 and decided that theexecutive committee should visit theschool and n port on what small mat-ters were urgently needed.

Under legislation passed last sessionof Parliament, the Lake Takapuna Boardof Control was dissolved. In place thereofthe Xorth Hiore Boroughs Water Boardwas constituted, composer! of representa-tives of Devonport (two members),Birkenbead, and Northcolc (one each I.while Titkapuna is to have the optionof inclusion if that Borough Councilshould decide. The Birkenhead Councilappointed as its representative Mr. K.('. Walton, and last evening theNortheote Council appointed the Mayor,Mr. C. A. Dcuxberry.

A protest against certain motor lmaproprietors washing their buses on thehighway of Mountain Road on Sundaymornings was contained in a petitionreceived by the .Mount Albert BoroughCouncil last evening. The .Mayor (Air.L. K. Uhodcßl said there appeared tolie no by-law dealing with the matter,lint the question of obstruction anddamage to the street by hosing might lieconsidered. Mr. ]{. II." Armstrong men-tioned that a conviction had beenobtained in Bit. Eden against an ownerwashing a car in the street. The matterwas referred to the Legal and FinanceCommittee, with power to act.

There was considerable discussion atlast evening's meting of the Vauxhallschool committee on the questionwhether the school should take up Socceror Rugby. Originally the lioys favouredRugby, but recently a Soccer team hasbeen formed, the majority of tin- players,it is said, having been "Rugby enthusi-asts previously. A good deal of feelingon the matter has been observed amongthe. lads of the school, and. as a nolu-tion of the problem, it has been deeirledthat in future both games should beplayed.

Sir Henry Cownn. speaking at a meet-ing of the Overseas League in London,said: "We must be generous. We havenot been generous enough. We have nottaken on our shoulders the burden weought to have taken. We have talkedabout ii 50-50 arrangement. We mustnow send our people 'carriage paid' tothe Dominions. We have got to do morethan that. We must bear n portion ofthe cost of training our people beforethey go or when they arrive overseas.We must pledge our "credit to pay forsome portion of the equipment of thefarms. Tt is a very hold policy, but Ithink it has got to be done, or the Em-pire will go down. T see no renson whythe British nation, in spite of war losses,in spite of our troubles and difficulties!should nnt pledge her credit to theextent of £2.->O.Ono,noO to make a seriousnnd lnrce beginning in this settlementtransaction. 1 personally am convincedthat Riich an investment" for this notionwould be the best it had ever made, thebest thai any nation had ever made inTin- whole history of the world."

What is known in the law profes-sion as "the donkey case"' was re-ferred to l>y Mr. Justice Heed in thePalmerston Supreme Court re-cently (reports the "Manawalu Times',),when summing up in a r»otor collisioncase in which negligence was alleged oncither side. His Ttonor explained thatin "the donkey rasp', a man tied adonkey in the middle of tlje road and aman came along—Kitting in the hack ofhis cart —and. failing to perceive theanimal, ran over and killed it. It wasthen ruled that although the donkeyowner was responsible for having placedthe animal in the way of the cart, thedriver of the cart was also responsiblefor not having taken reasonable careto avoid mi accident. This point hisHonor elucidated merely to explainthat, while a party may have beenprimarily responsible for an accident,the other party, by not taking reason-able care, might become jointly respon-sible.

Mr. A. Bain, a native of Inverear-frill, who has been thirteen years in theNew Hebrides, told the "SouthlandTimes" that, beside cotton and copra,n pood deal of cocoa nnd coffee isgrown on the islands, while fruit, suchas bananas, limes, etc.. are there inprofusion, and some of the fruit we gethere would not be given to even thepigs ill the islands. It certainly is agreat pity that facilities are not givenfor the markets here to secure someof the island fruits, because thegreater portion of them is allowed togo rotten. In his opinion, a very pro-fitable market could be developed withthe islands if a steamer service wereopened up. At present the only ser-vice is that with Sydney, which givesa steamer about every five weeks.

A refusal was the answer of MountAlbert Borough Council last evening toa contractor's request for permissionto erect in Arabi Street a. temporarycorrugated iron dwelling for Dalmatianstonemasons to be employed quarryingon certain sections there. The Mayorsaid the council would not be justifiedin granting a temporary permit to formwbat might become a sort of slum areain a fairly thickly populated ami.Vroper provision could be made for themen or accommodation obtained else-where. Councillor Russell said (he con-tractor intended to quarry out the hillof solid rock opposite Mars Avenue, andthe task might occupy several years.

In connection with the evidence of ayoung woman in the Police Court onMonday, lliat an illegal operation »•»«performed on her. and that in the eventof complications arising she was advisedto ring up one nf two doctors. Dr. Harold■Pet lit states that he whs not one of themedical moil referred to. nor li;tfl he atany time performed an operation in thehouse, in question.

The "box" occupied by the MountAlbert Borough Council clerk of worksas an oflicc was the subject of somewitticism nt last evening's meeting ofthe council. The Mayor (Mr. 1.. K.Rbodi-si remarked that tin- plnee whsso small that when one pot in one lia.lto g.i ..,,t npain tn shut the door. Acouncillor declared that the walls nevrrequired dusting, as any dust was rub-bed off by those who stepped into theoflice.

The annual meeting of the AucklandSuburban Drainage Uoar.l will take placenext week when the annual report andestimates will l>.. submitted, and tin-assessments made against the sevencontributing local bodies for the ensuingyear. It is understood the requirementswill be a little less than last year andthe assessments will accordingly besomewhat loucr.

ROMANCE OF SHIPPING

UNION STEAM SHIP COMPANY.

JUBILEE CELEBRATION.

HISTORY OF FIFTY YEAR-,;.This year the Union Steam Ship Com-

pany celebrates the fiftieth year of itshistory. It commenced its service inIH7">, "with a Heel of live vessels, aggre-gating 2121! tun> and trading exclusivelyon the coast. To-day that Heel liasgrown to a" total of 7:! vessels, aggre-gating 25:J.!)S<S tons. These vessels, someof them of the very Quest type of mod-ern sea-going ships, connect New Zealandwith the Inited Kingdom. Australia,the I'nited State?. India, the StraitsSettlements, the Indies, and the Nether-lands, and the islands of the South Seas.The I niiin Company was founded inNew Zealand, and its success is in thegreatest measure due to Sir .lamesMills, a New Koaliinder who is stillchairman <,:' directors. .Mr. Charleslioldsworth. the managing director, isalso h Now Z.alander.

The I'uioii Company was the combina-tion of several proprietaries, whichamalgamated their interests in the.steami-r-; Maori, licnutifii] Star, liriu-e,Tlawra and 'luupn. Though so small asit. wnnii now. those vessels wore farahead of anything hitherto seen in theyoung colony; they aroused great inter-est, and tiie people toon a great pride illthorn. As time went on, newerand biggervessels were added to the Meet. Some ofthese vessels,wore very beautiful models.Especially beautiful was the Rotoma-liana. built in 1ST!), which vessel was ilfew weeks ago sold to a firm of Mel-bourne ship'breakers, her gallant daysof voyage ended. Compared with theginnt Niagara, and the slill vasterAorangi, these ships were tiny things,but the}' served their day and purposewell, and never shall we look on the likeof some of them again for beauty. Andwhen we note that the old Kotomuhanadid her l"i knots per hour, and that thegiant new motor ship Aorangi, with allher 2(1,0(10 horse power, does no morethan IS. it will be seen that there hasbeen but little, gain in speed, whateverthe advantages of size. However, theRotomahana wits an exceptionally smartship in her day.

Doubled in a Year.In Ihe year after commencing opera-

tions, the Union Company extended its'.".nines.- to the North Island, whe~e itabsorbed the New Zealand Shipping Com-pany of Wellington, taking over foursteamers aggregating IS7S tons, thusnearly doubling the tonnage of its fleetin a twelve-month. Next year the com-pany entered the intercolonial trade byrunning the Kotorua, a new steamer of031 tons, to Sydney, in conjunction withthe Wakatipu, of* 179G tons. In IS7Sthe company purchased the McMeehan,lilackwood and Company's fleet of fourvessels aggregating .1828 tons, whichwere engaged in the Melbourne-NewZealand trade. Following on this, thecompany showed great activity by or-dering new tonnage from Great Britain,ameng the first being the Rotomalianit,1777 tons, the first vessel to be con-structed in mild steel and with a cel-luiar double bottom, Then came the}lanapouri, the first vessel to bo fittedthroughout with incandescent electriclights. In eight years the fleet had increased from live vessels, aggregating2126 tons, to twenty-four, aggregating24,210 tons, notwithstanding that severalships had been lost or sold in themeantime. In ISS> there arrived frniltlie builders two new steamers intendedsou-ly hs cargo carriers, one. the Oh'ili.be ing lltted for the accommodation offrozen meat. Hoth vessels were em-ployed on the coast. Then came the a,:(iuktion of the Black Diamond Line',including live small West Coast steam-ers, followed later by the taking over oftii:--'.' colliers from the Westport CoalCiuiptiiiy, and four more from the GreyVjllpy Company.

l'rcm 18S1 the company had run asmall steamer between Auckland andU'Mika, the old capital of Fiji, ar.dfrom then on it was to take an impor-tant part in the Island trade. In ISSSit took the contract for the carriage ofthe English mail, via San Francisco, inconjunction with the Oceanic SteamshipCompany, commencing with the Mara-roa, 20DH tons, which was at that timethe company's largest and best-appointed vessel, in ISS7 the first smallvessel was dispatched on the New Zea-land-Calcutta run.

Tasmanian Company Taken Over.Tn ISnl the company made the impor-

tant move of taking over the businessof the Tasmanian Steam NavigationCompany, including eight vessels aggre-gating '1802 tons, thus bringing theI'nion Steam Ship Company's fleet up to.33 vessels, aggregating " r>7.737 tons.More new steamers, arrived from thebuilders from time to time, and thetonnage of the fleet in moo was 77,738,but in that year the company's SanFrancisco service ceased owing to theannexation of the Hawaiian group bythe United States which prohibitedforeign vessels plying between UnitedStates' ports. However, the companymade up for this by becoming pro-prietors of the Canadian-AustralasianRoyal Mail Line, or ibe "All-RedRoute," which it developed to a highstate of efficiency, as the liners Niagaraand Aorangi, to-day testify. In H)0!>the company originated the Wellington.RarotongaTahiti service, which waslater extended to Ran Francisco, thusfurnishing a monthy alternative mail,<<> Oreal Britain. The itinerary waslater extended to include Sydney, thecompany putting on the Port Kingston.a line steamer of 7."i5.~) tons.

A now departure in tin- company'soperations was tlio provision oftnrliiiip cross-channel steamers of thopnssengpr typp. tin- parlirst of whichwas thp vpry fino Loonpina. of 'JUSlonn. which was linilt. for (ho Mpl-

SIR GUY GAUNT.

TO VISIT AUCKLAND.

DISTINGUISHED ADMIIRAL. ,SUPPORT FOR SINGAPORE.

(From O;ir On-n Correspondent.)

SYDNEY, May 15.Auckland will soon have a very dis-

tinguished visitor in Vice-Admiral SirCiuy Gaunt, M.P., who is now in Sydneyfrom the Old Country on a hurriedvisit, mid will return via Auckland andAmerica.

Sir Ciuy, who is an Australian, beinga ilelboiirnian by birth, is a son ofthe Navy by choice, and for the pastfew years ' has been a Conservativemember of the House of Commons.

He will tell New Zealand, as he Masalready told us here, that he is stronglyin favour of the Singapore base. Hesays that unless the base is established,it' will be necessary to establish astrong fleet of warships in service onthe China Station.

He declares that a base properly(■quipped for the fuelling and overhaulof capital ships would obviate thenecessity for a powerful fleet. Thebase, he says, is primarily a good shopwindow, anil the main object is to showthe British flap; in those waters as abusiness advertisement. Nevertheless,in the event of an attack against NewZealand or Australia, an enemy couldnot nlTord to leave a strong base atSingapore in the rear, and a submarineand torpedo-boat squadron would proveeffective in checking aggression.

Sir Guy daunt scouts the idea thatthe establishment of the base mightgive offence to other nations. It is un-likely, he thinks, that a big fleet willbe maintained at Singapore, as. froma defence point of view, submarinesand destroyers will be adequate to repelull attacks.

Although of the opinion that thereis little doubt that air defence willeventually supersede the Navy. Sir Guyexpressed" the opinion that the two ser-vices should progress side by side formany years. He advocated the ps-tiiblishment of an air force as a branchof the naval service, and predicted thetime when the flaaship of the. GrandFleet might be found in the aif. Untilthe efficiency of the Air Force could beproved more thoroughly, it was foolishto talk of replacing the Navy with air-craft: yet some experts in Englandwere propounding that theory. The Ail-Force was rapidly becoming a very im-portant factor, and he thought thatevery encouragement should be given toit: but in naval operations, the employ-ment of a mother ship was still neces-sary, and a capital ship would he ableto "destroy the whole force unless theaircraft carriers were convoyed. Thenatural thing, therefore, was to bringabout co-operation between the twoservices and to grant promotion fromthe Air Force to the higher posts inthe Navy.

A FINE REFUSED

CHARGE AGAINST BUS DRIVER.INTOXICATED ON GHAFTON

BRIDGE.

OXK WEEKS IMPRISONMENT.

A well-known bus proprietor of Auck-land, J. Trcwheela, appeared on sum-mons at the Police Court this morning,when he was charged with being iaehlirge of a motor bus on Urafton Bridgewhile in " state of intoxication.

Mr. J. J. Sullivan, who appeared forTrewheela. in pleading guilty, said thatno damage was done either to the hugor to pedestrians. Defendant was a well-known man who owned three large sight-seeing buses. Mr. Sullivan said thatrecently it had been the practice of theCourt to inflict fines on motorists whowere charged with being in a state ofintoxication. Trewheela was not veryintoxicated, and was not arrested by thepolice. In view of the facts of the caseand the recent practice of the Court insuch eases, counsel plvadrd that if de-fendant was sent to prison it would prac-tically ruin his business. Would themagistrate inflict a line in this case?

Mr. Poynton: I have given warningstimes out of number that the penaltiesin such cases would luive tobe increased.A motor bus is far more dangerous thanan ordinary motorcar, as it carries moropassengers! In this case 1 cannot imposea line.

0 Defendant will be sentenced toseven days' imprisonment

At a later stage Mr. Sullivan men-tioned the ease and reminded the magis-trate that defendantwas not very drunk.He asked Mr. Poynton whether he wouldbe prepared to reconsider the matter andimpose a fine, or else reduce the sentence.Counsel added that he felt it a duty tohis client to mention the matter again.

Mr. Poynton: No, I cannot do that.Seven days is little enough. I have aduty to perform in regard to publicsafety. Why a man with a bus mightkill a dozen people while he is intoxi-cated.

OVER IMPORTATION.A WARNING TO TRADERS.

SHRINKAGE OF TRADE BALANCE.(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

DUXEDIX, this day.The Chamber of Commerce, after con-

sidering the report by the Imports andExports Committee, decided that, hav-ing regard to the unsatisfactory posi-tion of trade in Great Britain and thepossibility of lower prices next seasonfor our staple exports, all traders arerecommended to exercise caution inrespect to forward commitments. Thisapplies more particularly to imports,and especially to indents for luxurygoods.

For the year rnding March HI lastthe value of our exports was L">4.771,000,while our imports amounted to£40.521,0(J0, showing an apparent bal-ance of trade in our favour of £+,!).")0,O0(l,but against this we have to make pay-ment for overseas interest amountingto about £U,000,000, so that ill realitythe balance is against us. There hasbeen a certain amount of over-importa-tion during the last twelve months,which it is very desirable to avoid infuture in view of the changing condi-tions of British industry, shrinkage ofBritish trade balance, and the adversecondition of the London money market.

While issuing this warning, the Cham-ber of Commerce emphasises the neces-sity of placing as .much business as pos-sible with British manufacturers, inrecognition of the fact that Britain isthe beat and in fact the only marketfor our main exports.

OVERCROWDED SCHOOLBELIEF FOR VAUXHAL^opExixG of m:w weco.

■Practically from the time the Vhux-hall school, Devonport, was opened afew years ago, the classrooms have beenovercrowded and the children in someof the primer classes have been com-pelled to study in draughty corridorsand cloakrooms. The original four class-rooms in the building constituted a 200----pupil school, but the rapid growth ofthe district quickly demonstrated thatmore accommodation was required.Three years afro the Department wasrequested to add two classrooms, ateachers' room, cloakroom and corridor,and these additions are practically ""m----pletc. With the extra space available,the overcrowding will Jor the time dis-appear, there being approximately about300 pupils on the roll, but if Vimxhellarea is further populated the space dif-ficulty is likely to recur.

It 'is proposed to officially open thenew wing about the end of June, andthe Minister of Education, Kir .lainoaParr, lias been requested to Officiate,On the same day a bazaar will be heldat the school for the purpose of raisingfunds for the general requirements ofthe school.

PENSIONS AT HOME

THE NEW BILL.

HOSTILITY OF LABOUR.

LONDON". May 10Tn the House of Commons yesterday

the second reading nf the Widows' andOrphan*' and Old Ajre Contributory Pen-sions Bill, which provides tlie machineryto give effect to tlie scheme announcedby tlie Chancellor of tlie Exchequer. Mr.Winston Churchill, in his Budget speech,was moved by Mr. Neville Chamberlain.Minister of Health.

The Minister said tlie cost of puttingthe Government scheme on a non-con-tributory basis, as had been urp-d insome quarters, would be I3I.onO.fMJO in-stead of £7.r>00.000 for five years. Heexpressed the opinion that in spite oftlie cost to tlie employers, which wasestimated at £10,250,000 a year duringtlie first 10 years, tlie latter must admitthat the scheme would increase theiroutput because of its psychological effectupon tlie contented workers.

The scheme would reduce unemploy-ment by enabling 400.000 workers overthe age of tin to retire. The Governmentestimated that another effect would heimmediate relief from rates to an extentof £3,000.(100 a year, as wa? foreshadowedin the poor law reform scheme, whichwould develop the Government's policyof helping thorf who were willing to helpthemselves.

"Mr. -T. Wheatley. Labour member forClasoow (Sliettleeton). who wan Min-ister of Health in Mr. Ma. • >~,,a1d-sCabinet, moved the rejection of the bill.His motion expressed approval of theprinciple of the measure, but condemnedit on the ground that the workers' con-tributory provisions imposed additionalburdens on industry. It also expressedthe view that the allowances in caseswhere a father wa- incapacitated wereinadequate.

Mr. Lloyd George. Leader of theLiberal party in the House, ridiculed theLabour view' and supported the scheme.He said he favoured a contributory basisin view- of the demands on the publicpurse for other social reforms. He madevarious suggestions for amendments,comparing the position of a man of 40.broken down in health, and a vigorousman of 65. He urged that the real testwas not age but disablement.

Mr. Lloyd George also advocated com-pulsory insurance and the payment of£10 for funeral expenses, this systemwould, he said, replace the present sys-tem of voluntary payments, totalling£i">.000.000 a year of which over halfdisappeared in meeting administrationexpenses.—(Reuter.)

FOOD OF EMPIRESHOFWINDOW IN ENGLAND

PREFERENCE IN TAXATION.

LOXDOX. May in.A luncheon was given in tlie House of

Commons by Lieut.-Col. A. C. Raw-on.Conservative member for X -liton.in order to demonstrate the foci possi-bilities of tlie Kmoirc, and to drawattention tv the Kmpire shopping week,which opens at Brighton to-day.

The whole of the food, drink andcigars at the luncheon were produced inthe Empire.

TheSecretary of State for the Colonies,Mr. 1.. C. M. S. Araery, in toasting theKinpirc. said the lunclienu had provedthat the consumer was the master of thesituation. If they wanted to develop theKmpire. they must consume the <.'OO,1J

which the Empire produced in abund-ance.

One method nf developing the Kmpire.said Mr. Anierv. would be the establish-ment of preference in British taxation,in which lie was a firm believer. .An-other would be the education, of thepeople of Britain as to the Empire'sresource-. ;is Colonel Rawson was doing.

Mr. Smit. Hipli Commissioner forSouth Africa, in replying, said peoplewere ton ant to take whatever the grocersupplied. They would not insist uponhaving Empire goods). He suggestedthat maize, which is a staple food inSouth Africa, would save the flour situa-tion in Britain. A poor man could break-fast on maize for about one farthing.

Sir Arthur Mvers responded on behalfof Xew Zealand.—(Reuter.)

While it may suggest tin- qimlit ofromantic lictioii. it was the personalexperience of Captain Tuwiislieud. who.after the Armiiilice. was sec I in com-mand of tlic port of tin' Turkish capital.

Captain TowimliPtid'n Ktorv runs a-follows:-."Aft.-r ))„. pvui-itat ion ofOilcssa. Constantinople' was Hooded withKiiiwinn refugees of all types. chunu-lerand social status. Among them was ayoung and attractive woman, Millie.Kalzfuin. Captain Tuwnsh.-iid first madeher acquaintance when xhr called at theheadquarters of the Commander of theI'ort. necking help. According to herstory she was a member of one of Ihrrichest families in Russia. They pos-sessed villas and estates in most of thecapitals of Knrope as well as in Kng-land. Their wealth was estimated at£9,0(10.0(1(1. Willi other memliprs of thefamily, the surviving: head nf which washer grandmother, slie was driven fromHu.ssia by the Bolsheviks and in theirown tugs they made 11 suceeahful exiapeto Con-tantinople. Mdlle. Kal/.fein. withher (iani-e, truvelled in one m<;. whichtowed the family yacht, the engine* ofwhich had been dismantled. On tht yachtwore her grandmother ami many othermembers nf the family, and on the tow-ing tug were two .large safes containingjewels and money of an enormousvalue, and hurriedly gathered togetherduring the lioUhevik onslaught. Thejourney hud scareelv begun when thetowing rope broke and the yacht wasleft adrift. A search was made andsome days afterwards the yacht wasfound drifting near the coas"t of Kou-mania, with a cargo of murdered andmutilated people. Who were responsiblefor the outrage was never known. Mdllc.Kalzfein and her lianee eventuallyreached Constantinople, but when theyarrived the two safes had disappearedfrom the tug. It was this that inspiredthe refugees to implore the assistanceof the Commander of the Port. Investi-gations, were begun and by mysteriousclues, cleverly pursued, the safes wererecovered at the bottom of the sea. Care-fully guarded, they were taken to aleading Constantinople bank, and in t liepresence of Millie. Kalzfein. CaptainTown-bend. Ilritisb officials, and others,were unroped, unpacked, and forced open.The doors let out nothing but saltwater and foul air. The remnants of theFalxfein millions had been added •.., theMolhlifvik plunder.

-MelHo. Kalzfein.- the story proceed-,"left Constantinople shortly after forEurope and England, only in find thather step-mother had sold'or practicallygiven away the family estates and villas.She later returned to Gontasntinople atragic ligure. She waa almost penniless,without home, relatives, or friends, itwas not long afterwards that she dis-appeared into the abyss, of the war'swake."

The story made a profound impressionon Captain Townshend. and he told it asthough it was yesterday when it hap-pened.

Captain Townshend has ;, record offine naval service tliroughoiif the warCommencing on ff.M.s. Edgar in 1915.part of the time as fir-it lieutenant; hetook command of H.M.s.

Diumhnsafter which he hecame assistant com-mander of the Port of Constantinopleand was [.raised highly for his valuablework.

Captain Townshend lias been in com-mand of the Berrima during the vessel'slast two trips to Australia, and is proudof the charge, for lie remembers thatthe lierrima left Australia on August 131914. with i.-,00 of tli.- lirst Australiansoldiers.

REFORM CANDIDATES.FUSIONJTALK. •THE LIBERAL ATTITUDE,

NEW PREMIER'S POSITION.There is not the slightest doubt thattalk of amalgamation between theli.cform party and the Liberal-Labourparty is increasing in political circles,■but tho prospects of any immediatefusion aru small. Tho attitude of sonicat least of the Liberals .and theLi-formers is that the two parties shouldcome together under a new and com-prehensive name, but there is a strongLiberal feeling that the lirat officialslep should be taken by the Ucform•we. Indeed, m some quarters the drti-mto stand han been taken tliat, unlessthe Ucform party initiates the move-ment, the Liberals will have nothing to<lo with amalgamation. If this attitude

is general, and the indications wouldsiifrgest for the moment that it is, thereappears to be only Die smallest, poß<i-Mlity that tho machinery to producefusion will be set in motion in theimmediate future.

Except a few disgruntled Ilefirm-crs—whose numbers, of courur, willdoubtless swell after the new CabinetJiaa been appointed—the GovernmentBide appears to l>e satisfied with thingses they exist. They have forfeited theopportunity to go to the country beforeParliament meets, which suggests thatthey feel they can weather the no-uon-Sidence motion that is likely to belaunched early in the session. ThatOwing bo. there would appear to be noparticular reason, from the Reform pointof view, why the party should rush thequestion of fusion. That fact, howevey,«loes not finally dispose of the proposal,[which is sure to be prominent in the con-versation of members in the lobbies dur-ing the session, and which may quitereasonably be expected to develop untilthe question will have to be settled one,Svay or the other.

It has to be borne in mind that ifthe Reform party decided next Wednes-day to approach the Liberals on thefusion question, they could not goempty-Diandcd. The Official Opposition has agood standing in the House, and in theevent of amalgamation and tho birth ofn. new party being suggested by 'theReformers, it is generally conceded thatftt least three substantial portfolioswould have to be offered to the Liberals.The position, would then arise, that thenew Prime Minister, who will doubtlessbe tho Hon. J. G. Coates, would haveJiis hands tied in selecting the membersof his Cabinet, a restriction that hewould likely consider intolerable. It isimprobable that the party, under suchcircumstances, would Impose such alimitation upon their new leader. Thatbeing so, it would appear idle tospeculate upon any encouragementtowards fusion coming directly andofficially from the Heform meeting to beJheld on May 27.

CANTERBURY SEATS.

HEAVY CROP LIKELY.(By Telegraph.—rress Association.)

CHRISTCHURCH, this day.Indications point to the Reformparty in Canterbury putting forward

candidates at the .general election forsuch electorates (among others) asLyttelton, Hiccarton, Kaiapoi, Elles-aiere, Hurtinui, Christeliurch North andAvon, says the Christchureh "Sun."The question of contesting the SouthChrietchurch and East Christclnirch;seats is still under consideration. Sofar the Canterbury branch has not an-nounced that it hns set a seal ofapproval on any candidates, a meeting]not having been held for that particularpurpose. Two Heformers, however, haveappeared in the field. Mr. D. Jonee, whorepresented Kaiapoi, and who was sub-sequently defpated, has announced thatlie intends to• stand for Ellesmere, asthe present member, the Hon. SirHeaton Rhodes, Minister of Defence,does not intend to' seek re-election.Jlr. H. S. ,Kyle, who coii-;tested the Rlccarton seat- at the lastgeneral election, again intends to go to$he poll.

Mr. J. H. Blackwell, who ia presidentof the Canterbury Progress League, andalso ie chairman, of directors of theKaiapoi Woollen Co., Ltd., had beenasked by Reform interests in the-elec-torate to stand for Kaiapoi. ' Since thenJlr. Blackwell has told friends that itis not liis intention to accede to therequest made by the deputation which•waited upon him. Mr.' Blackwell hasVide business interests, and it is pos-sible he would find it difficult to givethe necessary time to Parliamentaryaffairs. It is possible that Mr. J. ti.Armstrong, who Jiaa contested theHurmmi seat, may come into the fieldin that electorate tinder the Reformlianner. His name also has been men-tioned as a possibility for another elec-torate.MR. G. WITTY K.OT A CANDIDATE.

MOTOR CYCLE ACCIDENT.

POLICE COURT SEQUEL.

COUNSEL AXD DOCTOR.

If a man had but two drinks nnd thenbecame involved in a serious accident,would the shock exaggerate the effect*of the liquor to such an extent that theman would appear to Ijc in a state ofintoxication] That was the questionwhich formed the chief feature in a caseheard before Mr. J. W. PoyJltoii, S.M.,in the Police Court this morning.

William Foley was charged with beingintoxicated while ni charge of a motorcycle. Foley was charged similarly,under an indictable Act, not long ago,but the case was dismissed, as the onlyevidence brought forward showed talitthe incident which wa.s alleged to haveoccurred owing to accused's conditionwas n ptire accident.

Mr. R. A. Singer appeared for Foley,and Senior Sergeant Edwards for thepolice.

Evidence showed that on the eveningof February 21 accused was driving hiemotor cycle up Symonds Street. Hα hada passenger named Walker in the sidecar. Near East Street a collisionoccurred between accused's machine anda 'motor enr, with the result thatFpley'e vehicle was shot right across tothe kerb on the other side of the street.The machine was wrecked, and the pas-senjicr (Walker) seriously injured.

Dr. P. A. Lindsay was a witness thismorning for the police. He stated thathe examined Foley at the police stationand found him "distinctly intoxicated."

Mr. Singer detailed all that had hap-pened .in the accident, and asked the wit-ness if that might put accused in a con-dition of apparent drunkenncse. Thewitness did not think so.

Mr. Singer: If a li'tan had received aheavy blow from a boxer, would his gaitbe unsteady?—Xo.

Mr. Singer cross-examined the witnessat length, and quoted famous Englishdoctors, who were of opinion that theexcitement of an accident would make aman unsteady. He again put the storyof the accident to the doctor, and askedif the occurrence would produce any, ofthe symptoms shown by accused whenhe wns examined. Witness againanswered, "No."

Mr. Singer (pitting down): Very well,doctor. I am quite satisfied with youranswer.

Other police evidence wns givpn to theeffect thnt accused was under the vinflu-ence of liquor.

Foley himself pave evidence thnt hehud had only two drinks, nnd was quitesober in till the time of the necHont.

In civine judgment, the magistratefniil that the Court was of opiiipin thntFoley was drunk while driving tlie cycle.However, it was considered that he badalready suffered enough. He was orderedto pay costs.

At Mr. Sinaer's rentiest security forappeal was fixed at £15.

ARMED AND MASKED.

TWO HOLD-UPS.

SYDNEY AND MELBOURNE

MAX SHOT TWICE.

(Fruui Our Owp Correspondent.).SYDNEY, May 15.

There is not the slightest slackeningoff in the Melbourne crime wave, whileSydney is also maintaining its badrecord of the past month.

In Melbourne on Saturday night anarmed robber lired two shots at a man,and in Sydney on Sunday evening awatchman was sandbagged, knocked un-conscious, and robbed.

Tho -Melbourne affair occurred inToonik Koad, Toorak. when Franc'sFrederick Thomas, who was returning tohis flat there, was ordered hy a thief tohold up his hands. lie threw at thointruder a (iladstoiie bag lie was carry-ing, oik! made to dose with him, whenthe man lived twice.

ThoniM fell to the floor nnd the mann-ade his cecape. Both bullets toniceffect, and necessitated an operation.Thomas is now out of danger. Hissister-in-law, who accompanied him,had in her bag at the time about £1(1(1,which Thomas was bringing from histobacconist shop, which had just closed.

Walter Turner, aged li"), a watchman,of Knmore, was the victim of the Sydneyattack. A masked man, armed with asandbag, entered the office of the Kre.ihFood and Ice Company in the city. Firstlir. switched off the electric light, thenattacked the old man, knocking himinsensible. The thief's mission was un-doubtedly to obtain the envelope con-taining the wages of certain membersi:f .he night staff, but the watchman hadhidden thi3, and the intruder contentedhimself with 13/ taken from the pocketof the prostrate man.

The face of the bandit was completelycovered, the mask drooping below Inschin like a. beard. There were two holes,cut in the mask for the man's eyes,which glared at the old man, who wasso surprised that he failed to call forassistance. The thief displayed remark-able daring, for within a few yards ofthe office door was a police constable andworkmen were in call of the watchman.The watchman found that 13/ hadbeen taken from his pockets, but auenvelope containing £4~> was still intact,where, fortunately, he had hidden itunder a desk.

"INSULT TO THE PEOPLE."

DESECRATION OF GOODFRIDAY.

RESOLUTION FBOM COMBINEDCHURCHES.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)PAUIERSTON NORTH, Tuesday.

A protest against what was termedthe desecration of the saeredncsa ofGood Frklay, and an insult to the peopleof the town, was entered last eveningby the Council of Christian Churches,when a resolution was passed deprecat-ing the holding of organised sport onGood Friday in I'almerston North.

On last Good Friday there was held,in addition to the bowling and cricketmatches, aSoccer tournament, for whichadmision was charged, and it wasagainst this that the chairman of thecouncil (Mr. G. 11. Bennett) directedhis remarks when moving theresolution.' Hβ recognised that inbringing the matter forward lie hadopened up a* big question, but he wasnot so concerned with the private tennis,bowls or cricket on private greens. Heobjected to organised sport, for whichadmission was charged. He firet movedthat sports bodies be requested torefrain from holding anything in thenature, of public sports on a day thatis sacred to the churches.

It was explained by Mr. A. Skerraanthat representations hadpreviously beenmade to the sports authorities, but theappeals had fallen upon deaf ears.

The Rev. Duneumb, who is an ardentsupporter of the .Soccer code, said thatif Soccer was to be stopped, an attackshould also be made upon the pictures,howling, and golf. He suggested thatthe Borough Council be requested toclose the sports grounds to anyone onGood Friday, while deputation couldwait upon other sports organisations—no partisanship being shown.

The suggestion to approach the Bor-ough Council was adopted, and thecouncil also passed a resolution protest-ing against the holding of organisedsport on Good Friday.

SUPREME COURT.DAMAGES CLAIMED

EVIDENCE OF PHOTOPHOBIA.Hugh Alex. Bagley, optician, of Auck-land, said on July 30, 1023, he examinedMrs. Stevens' eyes and found short-

sightedness or obstruction of vision. Acertain nervous condition of the retinacaused an abhorrence to bright lights.There was a method to relieve thie bymeans of certain lenses. Confusion ofvision would result in a person comingin contact with a bright light. A per-son suffering from photophobia wouldbe nervous.! To Mr. Hogben: If the condition wasji very bad one it would necessitate<roing to a doctor. He would riot saythat photophobia came suddenly, butigradually. Witness was not prepared■to say, however, that if a doctor saidphotophobia came suddenly as a resultof Bu.lclen shock, he would be preparedto dispute it. The doctor might bewrong and witness might be wrong. Hewas not prepared to say.

To His Honor: Deceased told witnessshe was unable to bear strong light.

This closed the case as far as Dr.Martin was concerned. Mr. Richmond,on behalf of defendant. Douce, pro-ceeded to open the case for the defence.

As Donee's lights were very brightwitness expected them to be dimmed.Suddenly be saw a woman's head a footin front of his own lights. He put onhis brakes, and thought she had fallento one side. Witness stepped out of thnenr as it was still moving and went, backto Mrs. Stevens, and (hen saw she hadsustained a fractured skull.

NEWTON CENTRAL SCHOOL

AND ITS PRIMARY STATUS.

THE VIEWS OF RESIDENTS.

A strong protest against tho XewtonCentral school being raised in statusto that of a junior high school wasvoiced by a deputation of the SchoolCommittee which Waited on the Educa-tion Board to-day. The members of thedeputation pointed out that the twoother primary schools in the district,iXewton East and Xewton AYcst, werethe worst schools in the city, in thatthey were antiquated and without play-grounds, and that the new Central

i school in a thickly-populated working-men's district, gave the children of thatarea a modern and adequate school forthe first time. It was bo greatly appre-ciated that the parents had ralliedround to provide funds for school equip-ment, and for tlie improvement of tlieschool grounds on an ambitious scale.Now there was a fear among the par-ents that the school would be convertedinto a junior high (school, and theyounger children would be sent back tothe old schools under the old conditions.' Mr. Banks inquired if the deputationfully understood the importance of ajunior high school, which containedpractically three-fourths of the childrenattending the primary school, and fromits constitution demanded a better classof teaching.

The deputation intimated that theywould welcome a junior high school inthe district, on another site, but they

I definitely objected to a portion of thechildren attending the present schoolbeing deprived of the advantages thepresent school gave them.

Tlie chairman stated that a juniorhigh school would not be forced on anydistrict by the board. As a matter offact the inspectors had reported favour-ably on the Newton Central school beingadded to and made a juniorhigh school.The difficulty was that the Department'spolicy was to gradually make about onein every four of the present primaryschools into juniorhigh schools, but itcould not afford to find sites and buildnew junior high schools.

On being asked the question, Mr. F.AY. Brinsden remarked that he thoughthe could find-a site at tho Grey Lynnend of the district where a new juniorhigh school could be built, so as to pro-vide ample playing space.

After the deputation had retired, itsrequest was sympathetically discussedat considerable length, and the boarddecided to instruct the inspectors toreport on other schools than XewtonCentral with a view to the creation ofanother junior high school adjacent tothat part of the city.

DECLINE INTO BANKRUPTCY.LOSSES OF A FLAXMILLER.

A BUN OF MISFORTUNF.S.

An unfortunate decline from a proa'perouß position into one of bankruptcywas revealed to-day at a meeting ofcreditors in the bankrupt estate of Pat-rick Henry, flaxmiller, Ohinewai (Mr.S. M. Taterson). Mr. W. S. Fisher,official assignee, presided.

Bankrupt's schedule showed that heowed £41.) 13/ to unsecured, and £2700to secured creditors. The estimatedvalue of the securities, consisting of afarm of 200 acres anil a homestead pro-perty of 7J acres, at Ohinewai, was£5200, giving a nominal surplus of over£:>noo.

About four years ago, explained thebankrupt in a written statement, lie hadceased fluxmilling: ami lie had used allhis efforts from that time on for abouttwo .years to sell his property, lie w.isthen worth, on estimated values, £11,000.Being nuable to sell his properties andnot* doing any profitable business, hefound liis credit at the bank stopped,durjng -a period of after-war creditrestriction. Tlien he sold his flasmill toa man who went bankrupt after work-ing it for two years. Ahout this time helost £400 on a patent venture. He v.asstill further handicapped by the loseof his sight for nine months; and aman who had worked into his confidencegot hold of the flaxmill on a home-madeagreement, with complete control overthe property. This man kept bankruptout of his property for over a year,and obtained a judgment for £200 foralleged breach of contract.

Bankrupt said he had been in businessfor twenty-five years, and he asked hiscreditors to treat his position with Jeni-eney so that his property might not besacrificed under a forced sale. The cre-ditors agreed that bankrupt's positionwas an unfortunate one, and, as nego-tiations were being made for tho saleof the property, it was decided to allowtime for these to be completed.

A motion was carried that the realisa-tion of the assets be left to the officialassignee and a committee of two.

CHRISTCHURCH, this day.For sitting in a motor car belonging to

someone else Francis Carey,a well-knownracing cyclist, was to-day sentenced byjustices of the peace to seven days' hardlabour. Carey, who was unrepresentedby counsel, pleaded guilty before Messrs.A. H. Holmes and P. Davidson to acharge of having on April 24 unlawfullyconverteda motor car to his own use, butnot to be guilty of theft.

Sub-Inspector Cameron said the policewere taking the numbers of the cars leftin thp streets. They found Carey in tliccar. and he said till! owner had left himin charge. The owner was seen, and hesaid he left a friend in the car, but thefriend was not Carey, whowas not knownby the owner. Carey was foolish intelling lies to the police, b t lie went tothe police station yesterday and made astatement to the effect that he was pass-ing the line of cars anu saw the policetaking their numbers. Thinking theywere taking the numbers of the cars leftunattended he climbed .nto one. to dothe owner a good (urn by attending hiscar. After he had been in the car aboutfifteen seconds it moved forwardslightly,and this attracted the attention of thepolice. He did not wish to tell thetruth. He told the police he was leftin charge then. He was sorry now thathe had lied, and made a statement tosave witnesses being called. Apparently,in trying to do someone else a good turn,he did himself a bad one, said the sub-inspector.

The Bench imposed a sentence of sevendays' hard labour.

BOWLING

FORTHCOMING ANNUALMEETINGS.

WINTER PLAY.

(By TIU'NDLKR.)

The first nni!li:il howling club meetingthis year is l.i b- held 10-mnrrnw week,when'the ( arlton members will be calledupon to elect Ilii-ir iillici'l-.-i f.T theensuing year and transact all i he otherbusiness' that i- ci-uwdeil into thesemeetings. On this oeeaMon then- will boonly (lie vurioiH r.'iiiniitUu-(. to elect, asnominations have already , b..-cd for allthe niHJiir t.nie.-s, .-.. that there will benet],,l,- t.. do on their iicconnt but ;••dclarc them duly .-leeti'd. It is under-stood, however, that, an important men-mrc is t.i be bnui-rlit forwiml, requiringthat for the future the office, of presi-dent is t<. po round each year. Nomi-nally that is what, now 'happens atCarlton, Iml it Ims been eiistomarr tove-clect their president for a aPcnndrear, and occasionally for v loiipcr tern,.f'lirlton lias linen very fortunate in itspresidents, and (he present holder ofthat high office lia.s signalised his tenureby instituting the Thomson Shield, thetirst annual inter-provincial tournamentin any club in Auckland. With a. longlist of such distinguished presidents asf'arlton lias had. the present move isnot intended an any reflection on theprevious system, for it has worked ex-ceedingly well. It is thought, however,that the lime has arrived, in accordancewith modern democratic ideas, to openflic door a little wider to the presidencyin order to allow the election of worthymembers who would willingly give ayear's service, but cannot see their wayto commit themselves to a longer termTn some clubs there has lieen difficultyin getting n president to act. for thesimple reason that none of (1,0.=e firstapproached would consent to take it forthe orthodox period of two years noraccept the responsibility of being thefirst to cut it down to one year. Oarltonare frying to look ahead, and they arehitting on a happy solution. They'havealready closed the nominations for thiscoming year, with only one name in. thepresent holder, but long before they needto look round for a president for thefollowing year it will 1,,. nn establishedPrinciple that a president will hold officefor one year only. Tf- remains to be seenwhether this scheme will be acceptableto the club members next week but ifit works well if, will probably he fol-lowed by the few remaining clubs whichdo not now elect a fresh president eachrear. Other matters fnr discussion ntthe various forthcoming annual meetingswill be dealt with in the Sports Editionon Saturday.

Winter Season Opened.Several clubs closed clown last Satur-day, and are now opening their wintergreens. Ellerslie have managed to finishall their Blub competitions except thelirst-ycar championship, and that willhave to be decided on the winter preen.On Saturday the final was played in thechampionship pairs, when A. C. C'oppinaand W. L. Guvey defeated W. Bartlctt

and T. N. Peek.At Onchunfja tlicro is nothing settledexcept the championship singles. Tliowinter green was opened on Monday,and there will still have to lie finishedthe championship pairs, handicap pairs,

handicap singles, first-year champion-ship and vice-presidents' fours.

Match committees «re experiencingsome difficulty getting the after-noon's programme started on Satur-day in time to finish liefore the sunKoes down. Consequently there is thedisappointment at having to play whentlie dew is on tlio ground, and some-times almost in the" dark, in spite ofthe. well-known fact tluvt a frame doesnot take so long toplay on a heavy win-ter green as it does on a keen summerpreen. In some clubs they have easeddown the position a little by closingthe draw at 2 o'clock, but even tinsdoes not fully get over the objectionthat half an hour to an hour of thebest part of the day is practicallywasted in rolling up. This is a veryunsatisfactory part of the day'a pro'-cecdings. especially when ten or adozen players are at one end of therink, with nobody at the other end tostraighten the jack or say who is shot.Occasionally some have sufficient enter-prise to fix up a pairs or a rink forsix or eight heads, 'but usually it is acase of the whole team being at theone end. Considering that 00 per centof the members have their names in thebox early, it is difficult to know whysuch consideration should be shown tothe half-dozen late-comers who hold upthe whole programme, for they couldeasily be put in a supplementary rink.In the Wellington Club they make upthe rinks iw fast as the membersarrive, but, without going to this ex-treme, a fair compromise would be toclose down the main draw at such atime ns it has been found that thebulk of the members are present. Evenwhen it is once closed down there is agroat difference in the time it takes toget things going. In one club they putit_ through in record time, and twominutes'after the draw is closed thenames are being called out. At theother exiremo is the slow system ofsorting out the names, and not callingthem out on the green until one personhas performed the laborious and time-wasting task of writing out on thescore-cards anything from 50 to 100nnmes. A quick system is wanted, ifBomcbody will devise one.

Bowl Testing in Australia.Another move forward ie this im-

portant matter lias just been made bytlio Australian Bowling Council. Ata meeting in Sydney on April 2!), duringthe inter-State tournament, when dele-gates were present from the bowlingassociations of the different States, thetable test was adopted. This was reallythe most important business con-sidered at the meeting, and after along discussion the report of the test-ing committee was ultimately carried.It was further decided that encli Stateho supplied with a standard set ofhowls, to govern the draw of rubber,composition, and wooden bowls now inuse. To conform to the new regulationsthe various states are allowed till Sep-tember 30, l!V2(i.

A LABOURER'S WAGES.WIFE WHO TRAINS

KACEHORSES.XO MONEY FOR CREDITORS.(Tir relesxapli.-Own Corresponriem.)

HAMILTON, this day.Some interesting evidence regardingthe transactions of a labourer's wifeuponthe turfwas heard at tlie HamiltonMagistrate's L'ourt, when a borough

labourer, called upon to show reasonwhy a judgment order should not bemade against him,, admit led in answerto opposing counsel that his wifeowned a half share in and trained tworacehorses, I'ink Lady and Abberfield.Since they had come into her hands, how-ever, they liad won only £."10 in-lakes.

Mr. Kin;: T)n you think it n fairthing in iliis creditor to allow yourwife to spend money i/ training rave-liorses;,

Tinl debtor replied that ihe rncc-horses were gn-.s-: fed and trained onthe road. His wife previously trainedII useful hurdler in the shape of Key-stone.

Pn you yourself help in tlie trainingof tlie horses'.' |

I give them a run along the roadoccasionally.

In answer to further questions by"Mr. King debtor denied that he was abetting man and that any of his earn-ings were devoted to the cost of keep-ing tlie horses. 11.- was earning onlybetween £4 and t"> a week, out ofwhich lie had to keep nine children. Hiswife's interest in Iho horses was herown nflair, and did not affect himfinancially.

His Worship: She must be a wonder-ful women to bring up nine childrenand train two racehorses on a labourer'swastes.

The magistrate remarked furtherthat tlie only point in which he wasiconcerned was that defendant, after!providing for the feeding and clothingof a family of nine, had nothing leftIout of a wage of £4 or £.1 to pay old |debts. Xo order was. therefore, made.

The Century Hurdle Race will be decidedat Waiifraniii to-morrow. If Nukumaiwas at his best he would be difficult todispose of, but with 11.8 he has his shareor weig-ht. It is stated, however, that, heshould be all the better ror ills racing atKffimmt.

Charlatan was well beaten by Whipcordal Ulccai'tnn the other morning over fourbrush lences, and in consequence was nottaken to Wanganni. It also looks verymuch us if he will not he broug-ht ivorthlo Ellerslle, ror his displays or lale havenot been impressive.

Ring I'otoa was only started on oneoccasion at the Kgmont meeting, and wasJust beaten by Rowley, lie Is In the llrstdivision or the, Purua Handicap at Wanga-nui to-morrow, and as this Is a furlongshorter lie may show to better advantage.King I'otoa Is a promising sort.

Merit will not be raced at Wanganui.One of her legs gave a little trouble asHie result or being galloped on the hardtracks at Hastings, and although it a<-tu-ally would not have, prevented her racingthis week, it lias been decided to keep herat home. She is engaged at Ellerslle.

Lady ncntlnek. which lias had quite a lotor placed pciToriiianees u> her credit thisseason, managed to get on Hie winninglist at Egmonl on Saturday, beating a hotfavourite In Hafa. The latter hopped outsmartly, and led to the distance, whereI.ady lientlnck wore him down, lo win bya neck.

The three-year-old Illly Modern, whichwas purchased at Mr. W. 11. Kemhallssale by a client or J. Ayres, at Treiithani.has been resold to Mr. Walter smart, ofWellington, who has not been prominentlyassociated with the sport for a season ortwo. In Modern he has a useful filly,which has been doing well sinre arrival atTrenlham and is sure to make pood.

I). McCanley took Knhln and Otanrufrom Trenthain to Wanganul on Saturday.Kulilo has had a gooil spelt (says"Watcher"), but has been working rorsome time now, and Is ralriy well forward.He goes well on sort tracks, and there Isno reason why he should not repeat theuseful form he showed when last racing,otauru will need a lot more experienceover hurdles before he wins good racesin the jumping- side of the spoil.

Rowley, a tliree-year-old by Pniytlamon.seems to be the making's or a raifly (roodsort. Last season he failed to gel intoi place, but this season he got on tothe wlniilnp list at the Poverty Hay Club'sSpring- meeting, and won at the Walra-rapa meeting recently. Alter runningthird to Euphonium and Trollus on thellrst day or the Eg/mont meeting he won,the Borough Hark Handicap on SaturdayHi; is encaged at Wanganul to-morrow,and Hehutal and Euphonium, which are Inthe same division, may prove the hardestlor him to dispose of.

The Northland Trotting Club's ineeiinc;takes place at Whangarel on Saturday, and.with the promise ol' large Held* in all theevents, some interesting racing- should bewitnessed. The form ol' Jasper when lieran third at Alexandra Park three, weeksago promised an early win. but. whensolidly backed in a poor Meld .11 the Cam-bridge meeling. he left his supporterslamenting when lie railed lo go off themark right, and never had a chance.However, he made amends at Te Aroha onSaturday, when he won (he Maiden iron.SI yards behind. The opposition was veryweak, but Jasper won in line style, andie\l season should see him much unproved.Ile is only a four-year-old, by Anlonlo,anil is trained by 11. P. Kdwards atOtahuhu.

Irsiillne was made a good ravourite inIIk- Wailoa Handicap, liui though thedaufrhter of Our Thorpe went a pood racetfip had no chance with Money, which alsodefeated n. I'aton's more the previousweek at Cambridge.

Temple has often pone pood races, buthe invariably leaves his reel Just whenhe looks to have a winning chance. How-ever, in the Te Aroha CUP the «iold Hellgeldinpr went right, all Hie way, but hecould only get lirth, arier being In a handyposition ior most or the journey. It wasthought that the big track at Te Arohawould suit him, but apparently all tracksarc alike to him.

"lure Slrtellplit fill at Ihe Otallllhllmeeling- when looking- lo have a winningchance In the race won by Konlniwood, hnhas been consistently supported to win arare. However, hn has not repeated Ihespeed he showed at (ilahuhu. and appar-ently lie is not a g-ood one.

The parties connected wilh Pyramusconsidered tile I'n-e- legged trotter capableof downing- the pacers In the Te ArohaCup, but Hie daughter of Perl liiion nevergot Into the llring line, and her chancewas hopeless very early. She has gonesome line races lor A. Julian among-st thetrotters, but Ihe pacers have too muchspeed ror her in (he early stages lroni astuiMijiiß start.

Invariably when slarted In races extend-ing to two miles. Hie Australian-bred mareIluz Buz has railed to see the journey out,and no ilmibt this was the reason she wasallowed to go out paying a good price inthe Te Aroha Cup. Tilt) previous week,driven by .1. \V. Kenny, the daughter ofCharming Hells and Spring-heel won a raceand dead-heated in another at Cambridge,and on that form should have been wellfancied, in the Te Aroha Cup s. Augustsat in the sulky instead of J. Kenny, whichprobably meant a couple of stone less forIhe little mare to pull. This must havemade a considerable, difference, as shenot only showed her usual speed, but shestayed on so well that the others had nochance of getting near her after she hit thefront, six furlongs from home. Handi-capped lo po 5.4.1. the little mare won in•I.ill. but the slow time was due to thewet track.

On her second to Reliance on the open-ing day of the Auckland Trotting Club'sAutumn Meeting-, and her fourth in theAdams Memorial Cup on the second day.Heather Cllrl should have been given moresupport than was accorded her in the ToArolia Cup. In which she carried only £0-jon the machine. (1. Mitchell got her awaywell, and had a handy position all throuirli.but though she finished on in the straightand beat all but Uuz liuz she had no chancewith the winner.

n. Hall has not had Reliance lony. linthe lias worked a great impi'ovcniont In Ilieson or Gold Hell, which was never betterthan at present. Alter mimi,* third placeIn the Te Arolia Cup, lip came out later illthe (lay, and, jrivlnp away starts ranpinfrto IUB yards in a mile and a-liair, He rantlirmiirli the Held without trouble, andwas in front with Just on six rurlonsrs topo. From then on the rest was easy, andlie won In a jog, gulng 3.3 1 1-5 on a slowtrack.

Great ninffen is to have a short spell,and then will be (cot ready ror the bigmeeting- at Atldlng-ton In August, at wlilcllthe National Cup is the star attraction.

stormy, which dead-heated with FluzHll7. at the Cambridge meeting, was at onetime owned and trained by f). C. McDcr-mott at Addington. He promised to besomething out or the ordinary, hut his winat Cambridge was bis best ellorl sincecoming- to Auckland.

Mr. 11. F. Nicol and Mr. n. M. Mortenare both In the Held with a candidate rorthe next New Zealand Trotting Stakes. Mr.Meoll lias Hurst Park, by Nelson Ulngenrrotn Lady Cherry, and Mr. Morten has aroan Illly by Nelson Hingen rrom Muricata.

The trotting stallion Wlldwood Juniorwas destroyed a few days ago, havingreached his twentieth year. He haddeveloped serious Internal troubles, andrather than see his old favourite suffering,Mr. Kerr decided to have him destroyed.He was bred by Mr. \V. Kerr at NewBrighton, being by imported Wlldwoodrrom Thelma. by Herlin from Pride orLincoln, by Touchstone. Thelma was agreat brood mare, Wildwood Junior beinga brother to Wlllowwood, Marie Corelll.and Authoress (dam or Author Dillon) anda half brother to Adonis, Cameos (dam orOnyx), and Waverley. After a brilliantracing career, during which he did littleracing but won the New Zealand TrottingCup two years In succession, he retired tothe stud, where he soon made a name asa highly successful sire. Admiral Woodwas his best son, but In addition to thisline perrormer. he lert many other bigwinners, trotters as well as pacers, andTor several years past he regularly heldr place near Ihe lop or the winning sires'list.

The two-year-old pacer Actor, byAuthor Dillon from Marie Tempest, willnot he a starter In Hie Sapling Stakes atthe Ashbnrton Trotting Club's meetingnext month. The youngster Is growingrast. and his breeder. 11. .larden. hasreluctantly decided not lo race him tillnext season. .larden has, however, beenengaged by Mr. 11. F. Nicoll to drive theAuthor Dillon—Glanella Illly in the race.larden is particularly pleased at the olTer'as h(> naturally was very anxious to havesome of his favourite's progeny tn a raceat the first npportunltv. As lie'is not ableto start the colt or his own breeding heconsiders that the next best to do Is n>drive another owner's Author Dillon-youngster.

The pacer Peter Mac Tell and broke hisneck while training on Mr. A Howard'strack on Thursday. Peter Mac was byPetereta from D.1.C.. the dam of someB-ood horses, including Admiral WoodMonica. Miss Florrie c, Papanul. and 01 cHe was a brilliant pacer, whose three-year-old successes Included the New ZealandDerby and the Champion Stakes. I ater inhis career be developed rrartlnusness. andthough he retained a lot of his speed hewas a very unreliable racehorse.

CANTEBURY NOTES.(P.y Telegraph.- Press Association.)

CIiniSTCHr.RCII, Tuesday.Lord Clan won both the trotting events

at Bangiorn and was nicely handled eachtime by l>. Withers. The billon ChildReUling- was well backed in the two-mileevent, but later in the day a 30 yardspenalty in the Olioka Trot over a mile puthis friends off, and he paid a (rood doublellgiire dividend.

The training track at Adtilujrton is being-repraded, ami il is expected that the workwill in; completed berore the end of themonth. A walking track inside on theKniss may also be provided lor use In wetweather.

Travis Axworthy, a two-year-old coltpurchased In America by Mr. E. X.1.0 I.ievre at the same time as liny Par-wish, has gone Into P. Riddle's stable, butHitldle intends advising- his owner thatanother six months In the paddock willdo the youngster no harm.

Blngen Lad has shown some improve-ment in his work lately and may race wellat the Oamaru meeting on Saturday.

The pacing- mare Olive Logan, which wasrecently turned out. was round last weekIn a bog- and she sustained such injuriesthat It was deemed necessary to destroyher.

E. .1. Smith has bonfrht the pacer Land-lord from Mr. P. nobson. who in turnacquired Log-an Lass front Landlord's newowner.

Don Wild is still bom? Kept lo steadypace work but looks fairly forward and Isapparently sound atraln.

Bessie Logan Is one or the most improvedpacers in Canterbury during, the past fewmonths. She is not In thP nelds foroamaru, hut should do well if started atHie winter meetingat Canterbury Park.Great ninpen Is to have a short spell,and this brilliant horse may not be amonjfstHip pntrants ror the Canterbury Parkwinter meeting.

When on his lastvisit to Auckland. .Mr, Sellg stated that thework of the Association had been growingat such a pare that it necessitated hisdally attendance of some Hours at theolTlces of the Association in Chrtstrhurch.or late the monthly meetings have occu-pied a whole day from 10 a.m. till mid-night, or later on some occasions. Inaddition the executive Have orten to meetfor hours to carry out Hie work entrustedto it.

It appears that. In addition to journalis-tic work Tor newspapers abroad-, Mr. Pellghas accepted the directorship of two com-panies, and he is, in consequence, findingdiniculty In devoling Die time he wouldIlike to do full Justice to the Sow ZealandTrotting Association without interferingwith his business activities.

Mr. Sellff was chairman of Hip SouthIsland Trotting Association In IKBS-ISS'.!but he saw then that the system orhaving- two associations—one at Chrisl-church and one at I'almerston North—wasnot effective, and. as a result of his pro-posal, one controlling body for .New Zea-land was appointed, and he' was elected theilrst president, a position he has occupiedever since. He held the dual position orthe President of the New Zealand Trol-ling Conference and President or the NewZealand Trotting- Association lor live yearsbeing succeeded by Mr. John Rowe, orAuckland. Mr. Selig brought about manyreforms. He had a great light to save thestraight-nut trotter, which he termed theutility horse, and finally, arter about fourattempts at Hie Conference, a rule com-pelling clubs to provide special races andprizes Tor straight-out trotters only wasadopted. The setting up or a stipendiarystewards system was strongly advocatedby him, and eventually carried. Recentlyhe has touched on the subject or givingHill control or meetings to the stipen-diary stewards, with right or appeal—thesystem adopted in Hat racing in AustraliaThe betting steward has been his notaversion, and he was ruthless in his con-demnation oranything which he consideredmight injure the sport. There is onething that was always in his favour dur-ing his long association with trotting, thatho was quite untrammelled in his actionsby membership or betting transactionsIt Is understood that he never nail a beton a trotting race, and is not a memberor any club.

Mr. l)e l.a Mare agreed with the maincontention of Sir Kobert Stout thatmoderators were unnecessary, but. inview of the fact that the country couldspend so much on beer and horse racingit could afford to foot the bill on educa-tion.

Sir Kobert Stout: Because we wastemoney on horse racing there is no reasonwhy we should waste it on education.

The Director of Kdueatiou. Mr. .1.CaughlPV, sujrsjcsted that the examinershould be asked to certify that he hadpersonally worked out the papers, andthat they could be done in the limeallowed.' This would obviate the neces-sity of ...or ierators.

She said a mistake hadbeen made in not having the Northproperly advertised at Wembley, and thesame mistake should not be made inregard toDunedin, where Auckland •shouldhave a worthy provincial court.

Mr. T. Bloodworth, who objected, saidthe exhibition wa« purely a businessventure. He did not see how the Councilcould benefit one penny piece, andpointed out that it would be wrong to11-ike a vote When essential works hi tilecity had been •'turned down" owing towant of funds.

Mr. .1. A. C. Allum wanted the vote tobe £l.!()0.

Mr. A. J. Eentrican suggested thatthe Council might subsidise Aucklandbusiness, men's contributions up to. say,£(!.-)().

When llic estimates came up at (hemeeting of the City Council night,Sir. T. Bloodworth wanted to know thejiuHlion in regard In the zoo. The estimatestuiid it was a successful undertakingfinancially. J.ookinj: tliroiijih the account*In? discovered that the sum of £70.001)

Whin he-aw that £;»1,000of till- electricity money had been spent,it came a- a .-iio.-k to him, a-, he wasno! aware that it hurl been authorised.

The Mayor asked the Town Clerk tvexplain.

Mr. Hrigham said he took it that thostatement that the undertaking was afinancial success meant that it born theordinary maintenance. As in the case ofall parks, libraries, etc. no interc.-t «a~charged in respect of the zoo. Mr.Bloodworth'a figures wore eorrpet. and noprovision was made for the payment ofintercr-t or sinking fund. If provisionwere made it would mean at leaslauother f.">000 a year added to the £000(1.

Mr. Allum thought the point raisedby Mr. Bloodwort ii was an importantone from the public, point of view, anda report on the financial aspect of thezoo should be prepared for presentationto the next meeting of the Council.

Mr. Warnock reminded the Council"that, the zoo was now practically com-pleted, built, and storked, and not evenmuch repairs would be needed. The largeMinis spent, would not recur, and theundertaking now had valuable assets.The zoo was now well established, and ona sound financial basis. Like an ordinarybusiness it must be first established andput on a sound footing. Mr. Warnockassured the meeting that every pennyFpent on the zoo had been authorised.There was no doubt in his opinion thatthe zoo was a financial success, and thatit would be a paying concern.

Mr. t'rookes stressed the Town Clerk'sexplanation that none of the parks wasdebited with interest.

Eventually the Council agreed to Mr.Allum's suggestion that a report on thefinancial position uf the zoo be preparedand submitted lit the next meeting ofthe Council.

"BEYOND ALL DOUBT."

EVIDENCE OF FINGER PRINTS.A CHRISTCHURCH CONVICTION. '(By Telegraph—Press Association )

CHR.LSTCHURCH, Tuesday."Finger prints,"' the Crown Prosecutor

said in the Supreme Court to-duy, "havebeen demonstrated to be more conclusivethan a«3' other form of evidence ofidentification because they admit of nopossible errors whatever. No twopeople have linger prints with the samecharacters. They are free from any ofthe errors that may weaken any otherform of evidence. A person may makea mistake in identifying another per-son, but the evidence of finger prints isbeyond all doubt."

The case was a charge against a youngman, Frederick Charles KiehmonJ, ofhaving broken into the ollice of R. \V.England and Co., and stolen £10 in sil-ver. He pleaded not guilty and cuii-ductetj his own ease.

The Crown Prosecutor said the oflicewas closed on Saturday, April 4, at 1p.m. On the morning of April ti it wasfound to have been broken into, someperson evidently having got in througha lavatory window in the oflice. Therewere some knives and forks and fingerprints had been left on two knives,probably used to open something in theoflice. The finger prints were sent toSenior-Sergeant Dinnie, in charge of thecriminal registration branch of thePolice Department in Wellington, whofound that they tallied with Richmond'sfinger prints already in that officer'spossession. The same result was ob-tained by comparison with Richmond's•finger prints taken nt I'aparua prison.There could not be any doubt as to Rich-mond having: stolen the money.

Senior-Sergeant Dinnie .-said tlirchances of error in comparing fingerprints were about imn.ooo.ono to 1.There were 26 points of similarity in th-two prints on the knives and in Rich-mond's known print?, and the chancesagainst error in Richmond's case were1,490,116,110.384,783,(525 to 1.

Claude Montague Francis, assistant inthe criminal registration branch, saidthat there could be no doubt about theidentification.

Mr. Justice Adams said the jury ncerlnot doubt the accuracy of the evpertsStatements. Some jurymen mißht re-member that when a man named (.mm

was tried for murder at Auckland, Mr.Justice Chapman crave ,i lonp. learne.land interesting memorandum showingthe tremendous value and cogency otfinger-print evidence.

The inrv, after retiring for about 10minutes, returned a verdict of pnlty.Richmond was remanded for sentence.

Clovers, lucerne, ensilage, mangels, 'kiimikiiiiiK, liny, and similar home grownfodders may make cheaper milk proline-it ion than when grains and concent ratesmust lie purchased. Those dairymenwho are inclined to consider the questioncif winter dairying could plan their work jnow for the growing of tlic necessary ,legumes and herd requirements for next \winter's milk production. Kadi year jsees a larger number of our herd owners, jtempted liy the big prices offered byjtown retailers, going in for. perhaps, thismost difficult branch of dairy farming.,though certainly a very profitable one'when the farm'is near 'the market and1adeipiate and suitable food has been pro-vided for the cows.

Full Lactation Essential.One thing about winter dairying that )

must be borne in mind is the fact that it jhas bron well proven by those who havemade a study of the feeding problem|that it only pays to linnd-feed cows when jthey are in the full Hush of their lacla- |t i<lll period. No amount of extra feed- jing will produce puynblc results when|the lactation period is drawing to a close.

Danish Example.The Danes have proved that the great-

est revenue can only he obtained fromcows during the winter months, when jtheir produce commands the highestvalues when placed 1)11 the market.

As Denmark is the dairy school of theworld, their methods are probably worthyof emulation in this country. The priceusually fixed for winter milk means thatfor thethree winter months the cities andtownspeople will be asked to pay as muchfor the milk for that period as is ordi-narily paid in six months for the samequantity.

Distance from the retail market ie notsuch a serious problem during the wintermouths as at other periods of the year.i'Winter milk can be. and is. retailed twoor even three days old. and this fact is

I important,and should not be lost sightjof.

The work of commencing winter dairy -! ing operations has to be undertaken inOctober, or it cannot be successfullycarried on. The feeding problem issettled during that month, and the foodsrequired for winter dairying are thpnplanted. If the ordinary farm can pro-vide maize, lucerne, and ensilage, thewinter dairyman need have no fear offailure, provided the required labour isavailable.

Very few people nowadays are preparedto work the whole year round, nor is itdesirable or necessary that they should.

A suggested solution of this problemis the granting of annual leave to everyworker, whether a member of the farmer'sown family or not.

The eternal problem of the Sundaywork, which turns many young peopleaway from dairy farming, might hesolved by a system of shifts as is donein other industries. It is obvious that asystem of annual or more frequentholidays, should in future form part ofthe plan for working the modern dairyfarm.

Jersey Not a Winter Producer.The farmer who proposes to produce

winter milk must own tlir breed of cattlemost suitable for this ■specific purpose.The less Jersey there is in a winter cowthe better, as'these animals only reachmaximum production in warm weather.To attempt a payable winter supply withJersey* woirfl be futile. A breed mustbe owned like the Shorthorn, Ayrshire,Polled Angus, or Hostein, or any of theircrosses.

If milk has to be supplied all the yearround—as much in the winter as insummer, then the bulk of the herd shouldbe mated with the sire so as to comein in the autumn.

The animals should be kept during thesummer in the best of condition, and■special paddocks should be reserved forthose that are to be milked during thewinter months.

The paddocks that are dry and well-sheltered should be selected, and thecows should be carefully rugged duringnights and cold days, the rugs beingsremoved, and placed on a fence to airwhen the days are fine and reasonablywarm.

It is a mistake to feed milking cowsexcessively on over-ripened hay of anykind at any season, as this has the effectof retarding the milk flow.

One feed of any class of hay eachday is sufficient if the cows are gettingplenty of pasture or ensilage, or both.

A small stack of hay, and a very largeone of ensilage, is a good winterprovision, as nothing produces milkmi winter like good silage. Of course,turnips, rape, green oats. etc.. shouldnot he fed to animals producing milkfor consumption as such.

The winter cow should have aeecis totepid driking water, as their systemsbecome chilled if they are compelled todrink icy-cold water. This could bebrought about by turning the water fromthe milk-cooler into the drinking troughs.. Cooling the jviilk.

The animal heat must be eliminatedfrom the milk as soon as it is drawnfrom the cow. as it is delay in thismost important matter that producesbad milk.

If any of the animal heat is shut upwith the milk in a container, evenfor a short while, the milk will havea bad taste, and be of poor keepingqualities. Xo amount of icing or coolingat its destination will make up for theneglect to thoroughly cool the milk asit comes from the cow on the farm.

Th<- milk should be cooled down to atleast c>o degrees p. or under immedi-ately after niilkimt. This U usuallydone by having a large cooler, and run-ning the witter through swiftly.Winter milking may be the ineaiiw ofmany farmers on xuitabU- location*embarking on this brunch of theindustry, with a view to greater profit-;that would be distributed throughoutevery month of the year, instead ofvbM months generally' obtained.

Moreover, this practice would giveregular employment throughout the yearto a large number of dairy farmworkers, who, under the present prevail-ing system, find themselves out ofemployment during, nt lea-t threemouths of the trying winter season.

The prices of bread generallythroughout the Dominion will not. be in-creased on present day prices. Beingsatisfied on these points Cahim-t hasratilled tlie proposals.

"Any scheme for 1 he encouragement ofwheal growing by the promise of guar-anteed prices naturally involves con-sideration of the question of the com-petition of Australian Hour. Australiarequire* large qnnntities of bi;an niulpollard and is naturally anxious to gristas lilltcll wheat as possible to have theseby-products. The Australian millers.therefore, endeavour to increase exportsales of Hour by frequently quotingprices lower than home cunsuiniuionligures. We have in New Zealand powerto enforce an nnti-dumpiii" duty, but inpractice this is found not to he an easymatter. An embargo on importation isconsidered to be the most practicalmeans of preventing this unfair com-petition, and the Minister of Agriculturehas been given power to apply this nextyear if it is found necessary to protectthe local Hour milling industry. Theduty, on wheat will remain as at presentand its importation will not be inter-fered with. If there is sullicient wheatpri.wn in the Dominion it is clear thatthe Dominion will meet its own needsin Hour and by-products, and there willbe no necessity for outside supplies.Thus the embargo will impose no hard-ship on the country as a whole.

"These nri'uiifxements," said the Minis-ter, "arc, I think, the best that could bemade in furtherance of tin, ideal ofmaking New Zealand independent ofoutside sources for its most importantfoodstuffs, and I have every confidencethat the response of the wheat growerswill be such as to make this ideal anaccomplished fact."

Miss Jackson,honorary secretary of the NationalCouncil' of Women, said they felt, aswomen, that it was a jrreat honourthat Miss Basten polled so high underthe competition. Mrs. Ruby Watson.(St. Heliers) explained that she wassurprised at the number of men at hr-rbooth who said women were needed, as"they were workers and stickers." Mrs.C. M. Neal. president of the Civic League,expressed the opinion that more organi-sation was needed amongst women, andespecially in the suburbs, where the ran-didate was not sufficiently known to thewomen. It was hoped to lay down thelines of the next campai<m now, andbejrfn to build up organisation thatwould provide at least one worker forwomen, if not more, at every booth inthe city, and she hoped that the womenwould"" come forward and assist inthe work fn'r their own sex that a fewpublic spirited women were trying toaccomplish in Auckland.

In ones and twos lady barristers aremaking their appearance, remarks anEnglish paper, and I hear there was quitea sensation the other day when no lessthan four turned up on Circuit the sameday. Whether they will make any greatsuccess remains to be seen, although Iam afraid that for years to come theycan hope for but little. The way of thepioneer _•_& always a rough and stonypath. There are no rules, but they all

, eeem to conform to the convention,

■ already established, of wearing a blackfrock."hifrh to the throat, and a softwhite collar: and most carry it to thelengthof black shoes and Stockings. Theyuse the same robin? room as the men.and scrap with them for their turn atthe mirror to sep their bands are onstraight. They all try to arrange thattheir hair—at any rate in front—i=entirely hidden by their wigs: but. jnthese 'days of bobbing, shingling and

■■binglinc.-there j,n "t much arrangementBececsarr.

The wireless company formed m sellportable wireless sets has appointed Lady]Muir Mackenzie one of it's directors.

The marriage of Mr. K. R. Black, off;islK>rne, son of Mr. and Mrs. G .1.Black, to Dr. Doris Philp, of Brisbane,daughter of the late Sir Robert Philp.of Brisbane, took place in Brisbane lastweek.

The advancement of women into t lieIh'r positions of the business world,which was brought before the thinkingwomen of the world recently by Pro-fessor Catherine Spurgeon, in a remark-able article, pointing out this as theduty of women who wished to help for-Iward the world, is mentioned in the en- jlarged edition of "Every Lady's Jour-nal." and Miss Lucy Wright is mentionedas a general car distributor in the (IriuidTrunk railway of the United States.She i- said to be the only woman occu-pying such a position, and that it ear-!ries with it the necessity for a greatexecutive ability. It is beY duty to keep'moving thousands ~f freight cars, and *.omeet properly the demands of shippers. Idollar a day. and Miss Wright hasl">.o(in cars at her disposal, which mustalways be in n.-e, unless heavy losses 'are incurred. M:-s Wright was born on |a farm in Michigan, and when elevenyears of age her father's death made itnecessary for her to take charge of (hefamily.' She studied stenography white

1managing the farm, and at sixteen ob-! tamed her lirst position which broughtI her in five dollars a week. .She workedfor a year in the office of a lawyer.|going back and forth to the farm, and;at seventeen obtained a position in tin- IGrand Trunk. In the years that fol-ilowed she made herself expert as anoffice employee, and proved her unusualqualifications for her present work.

The Queen is a recruit to the fashionof wearing a brooch in front of her hat.Tins cliiirming cur-tom is a boon to her

'and all other busy women with manyIpublic and social" duties, since the!appearance of a hat can lie quickly jIchanged. The i-ame plan is adopted by:'many smart young women. Lady Alex-!andra Curzon is one of the young girlsjwho wear the tightest of close-fittingI hats relieved with a brooch. Her sister.Lady Irene Curzon, has some wonderfulpendants, and uses them to change theappearance of a hat and costume." I

And yet another woman shows herself -not to l)e the bundle of nerves generallycredited to the female sex. Mrs. Court-Treatt, wife of Major Court-Treatt, is

1appointed doctor and nurse to a motorjexpedition from the Cape to Cairo 1oi survey a motor route and to do scientificjwork for the Natural History Museum[ ami the .School of Tropical" Medicine.| The expedition is in charge of the major,and includes three other men and ablack boy.

Although the new top coats in Kng-land are made in substantial materialsand cut and tailored in all respects likea man's they still fasten to the left,feminine fashion.

THE FAINT HEART(All Eights Reserved.)

CHAPTER VI.The morning after the storm Babs

wuk,; with the fueling that sh.- wasiqueen of nil the world, and put on herpn-tliest frock.

she sang as she rlresscd, sang as shewont downstairs, where she found herlather busy with the village policeman,examining Uμ- muddy footmarks on th<-study carpet, and tin; broken liaeri ofthe window.

SI.,- listened (o the Colonel's voluble!accounts of the attempted burglarywith a little guilty feeling at her henri".Supposing she ami Shayle were to Mainefor having left the window open?

She broke into, her father's indignantwords with a. conciliatory smile.

"Well, dear, there's no harm done.The silver is safe."

"Entirely due io me,*' was liis promptretort. "If 1 had not been a lightsleeper and awakened at the sound ofmovement down here we might all havebeen murdered in our buds. Not one ofthe servants heard a sound! Not oneof them! Disgraceful, I call it. Posi-tively disgraceful. And there are fourdogs in the yard, and all sleeping likethe dead."

"Rough wns awake. ]le barked allnightr', Babs said, in swift defence ofher favourite.

"Harking at the moon, I daresay,"the Colonel snapped, regardless of thefact that there had been no moon.

Dabs changed the subject, only to lieled back to it again and again, until atlast, tired of the eternal argument, sheslipped away and went out.

She drew the fresh morning air grate-fully iiito'her lungs; she took off herhat and felt the sun warm on her head.

She was happy! happy! happy! andat any moment she would see Shaylecoining up the drive.

But the morniig passed, and the after-noon.

He is .busy, she told herself loyally,but she knew Shaylo was never busy,and then wlic-a Jim came in to tea lietold her that he had seen Shayle, thatmorning.

"What was he doing?" The questionleapt eagerly to her lips.

Jim grinned."leaning over the gate smoking, the

first time.""Oh, then you saw him twice'"'"Yes.""And what was he doing the second

time?"Jim glanced at his sister out of thecorner of his eyes."He was walking down the road with

Mrs. Elkin," lie said.Babs caught her breath."-Mrs. Elkin! Oh, she has moved

then?""Some of the stuff has come, but the

storm last night held up most of it onthe road, so she's hardly got any sortof comfort." Jim hesitated, and grewred. "It would be decent to nsk lierto dinner to-night," lie said, awkwardly.

Babs glanced up."'fb dinner! But I don't know her."He frowned."That's just like a woman," he ob-

jected, angrily. "You can't do anotherproperly introduced or called, or a lotof rot like that. She's jolly nice, too,you'd like her."

"How did Shayle get to know her?',Balis asked. She hated herself for thejealous thrill that touched her heartwhen she heard that they had been walk-ing together, for after all—"he belongsto mc," she told herself, fiercely.

"Never knew he did know her,', Jimpaid, candidly. "But when I asked liershe said that she'd Inown him for tenyears."

"Oh!" Longer than she had knownhim! A lifetime longer.

Jim rose and made for the door."You'll go down to Ivy Cottage,

then?" he said, with elaborate careless-ness, i

Babs said "Yes." It would give heran excuse to pass The Chantry, at anyrate, and she might see Shayle.

But she only met old Banks, who toldher that Shayle had been home allday. All day! And he had not comenear her.

She stifled her hurt loyally. Therewas some good reason for it, of course.Last night she had been unhappy abouthim, and, after all. he had written toher. Her heart leapt! Perhaps to-nighthe would come again as he had donethen.

She went on to Ivy Cottage, but Mrs.Elkin had been carried off to dine byanother kindly Samaritan, and Babswent back home alone. The eveningdragged. The Colonel pottered abouthis library making things doubly securefor Vie night, and cleaning an old ser-vice revolver. -"If they come to-night they'll havea welcome they don't expect,',he threat-ened.

Babs laughed."Dear, burglars surely never come

two nights running!" she chaffed him.But after she had gone to bed she layawake with a fast beating heart listen-ing: not for the thieves who had castcovetous eyes on her father's silver, butfor the man who had stolen her heartaway. Once she was sure that sheheard his footstep, and she. pot up andopened her window and looked down.but there was no one. A second timeshe could have sworn that she heardhim whistling softly through the dark-ness, and she slipped on her dressinggown and went down to the librarywith a fast beating heart and gropedher wav across to the window. But be-fore slie could unfasten it a sound inthe room behind her startled lit-r, sothat she turned sharply and cried outin terror, "Who's there?'.

There was a moment of silence, thena smothered laugh, and someone switch-ed on the light, and it wa-s Jim.

"Silly! it's only mc. T hoped to catcha burglar. It's quite likely they mightcome back to-night, as nobody wouldever expect them."

She clung to him with a little sob ofrelief.

"Oh, you did frighten me.',"Silly kid! What are you down here

for, anyway';"She hushed guiltily."1 thought I heard someone, too."He looked at her with a strange ex-

pression in his eyes.''So you eami! down here as you are

to latch a burglar, eh';',"1 should have screamed for help.',Jim laughed and pushed her towards

the door."Well, go back to bed. You'll catch

cold." and thankful to escape furtherquestioning she olieyed.

After all, there was to-morrow andnil the to-morrows and old Banks wouldnot forget to deliver her message.

CHAPTER VII.Although he had managed to avoid

Babs for a whole day, Holway knewUnite well that sooner or later theymust meet. The village was small, andthough some little distance lay betweenthe two houses, in the ordinary courseof events he came across Babs nil mostdays, and some: lines mure than once,and there whs un reason to suppose thaithings would be any different now.

After all. he had not found Sufficientcourage to write to her and break thoirengagement, ami he was afraid to leavethe house for fear of meeting her.

On the second morning following thestorm, when he was dawdling over hisdressing with the dreamy feeling thattime must somehow or other be killed,Banks came tapping at his door withthe news that Colonel Wye-Smith waswaiting downstairs to see him.

"Colonel Wye-Smith!" Shayle re-peated the name in blank amazement.

"Are you sure? lie asked, tor the

Colonel "had never before visited thehouse, and was always careful to allowhis disapproval of Shayle to be publiclyunderstood.

Banks raised his solemn eyes."Quite sure, sir," he said, unemotion-

ally.Shayle picked up his coat."I'll" come down.""Thank you. sir."Had Babs told her father, and was

this the (irst roll of the drums of hisdisapproval? Well, there was no need to ■make a scene, if that was why the oldboy had come. Babs was quite free aft"rall. free for any other man to win. He |opened the door and went downstairs. IColonel Wye-Smith was .standing bythe window looking into the garden. Hishands were clasped behind his back, andhis feet were firmly planted on the worncarpet a little apart, in military fashion.He turned round stillly as Shayleentered. |

"Morning." he said, brusquely, "nicemorning, ill?" i

"Very nice, sir. The storm did a lotof good."

"A lot of harm you mean," the oldman snapped. "Knocked down my finest, jelm and made a wreck of the garden.!Can't see what good it's done to anyone,or anything." |

Shayle made no answer. He knewhow easy it was to get drawn into :ired-hot argument with the Colonel, andhe was not in the mood for it. Aftera moment he pulled up a chair.

"Won't you sit down, sir?" jBabs' father shook his head."No, thanks, prefer to stand. Xoti

going to detain you. Only called on a Imatter of business." j

Shayle drew a quick breath of relief.So this visit was nothing to do withBabs. I

"If I can be of any use to you,' ho ibegan, but was waved into silence. |

Colonel Wye-Smith preferred thesound of his own voice to the sound ofanyone else's.

"It's about my new tenant at IvyCottage," he went rfli. "A lady by thename of Mrs. Elkin. She's taken IvyCottage from mc on a short lease, threeyears. As a ruin I object to shortleases—most unsatisfactory things. Butshe took such » fancy to t.ie place andbegged so hard! Seems a nice littlewoman, too."

He broke off to stare at Shayle."Yes," said Shayle. rather hoarsely."She_ gave you as one of her refer-ences,"' the old man went on. "Said

you'd known her for ten years. Is thatcorrect ?"

"Quite, but-—""That's all 1 wanted to know. It's

just as well to have a formal reference,although, as 1 say, she seems a niceenough little woman. 1 hope she'll becomfortable. .Much obliged to you, I'msure. Good day." and he turned to go.

Kliajie followed him to the door witha cynical smile on his lips. The wholetiling amused him, even while it madehim indignant with Lena for daring tomention that she had known him forSO long. He would not have imaginedthe Colonel being at all anxious to place jvalue upon any word of his, and iin- |pulsively ho said so.

Colonel Wye-Smith turned and lookedat him critically.

"I've nothing particularly against youexcept your impecuniosity, llolway," hesaid, in his blunt, straightforward man-ner. "And even that only affects mc asfar as my daughter is concerned. Forthe rest, leaving her out of the business,as a matter of fact I don't dislike youat all."

There was a bitter sneer on Shayle'shandsome face, and he flushed hotly.

"I am honoured, I am sure," he saidfiercely.

The Colonel put on his hat."Not at all! Xot at all!" he said

serenely, though there was a twinklein Ins eye. "I like to call a spade aspade. Always found it good policy.Well, good morning." and he was gone.

As far as Habs was concerned! Shaylelaughed bitterly. Well, she was nolonger concerned in the very least. Thewoman down at Ivy Cottage, whom theColonel seemed to find so charming, hadeffectually put Ba'bs out of the questionfor ever.

And he still had Babs to face.In a way it would havebeen an infinite j

relief to have had the anticipated scene jwith her father, and cleared tiie air in |thsit wav, but instead of which .'t was!-till Io come. j

Hut now it would not be the thunder-Iing cannonade of the Colonel's wrath, ;but the tears of a beloved one. Shayle'sheart was torn with misery as he rea-lised what lay before him, from whichthere was no way of escape. Wildthoughts of packing up and leaving thncountry came to him, but he dismissedthem as impossible. It was not onlyBabs whom he now had to consider,there was Lena also, and if lie wentaway he left Babe at Lena's mercy, andLena would not spare her.

People had always called him a blacksheep. The vicar and his wife, turnedup their noses in righteous indignationat, him. the doctor's wife looked theother way when lie passsd, afraid lest itshould contaminate her two young.daughters were she seen bowing to him.!The Miss Dallows, the aristocrats of:the neighbourhood, were suddenly af-flicted with blindness when he camealong, and all those who followedeagerly in their train evinced corres- |pondingly short-sightedness.

Shayle knew it. and had always ilaughed, but to-day the knowledge hurt ■him. To-day he. would have given muchfor tame, irreproachable respectability;and an unsullied past. Babs had always;trusted him and loved him. and soon hewas to be called tfpon to deal her ablow, from which her- love and pridecould never recover. He had got to

stand down from his high place in herregard, and see it taken by some otherluckier, more worthy man.

During the afternoon it came on torain, a relentless, steady downpour fromunbroken grey skies, but with a feelingthat he must'have air and a long trampthrough the lanes and fields with whichto quiet his throbbing nerves, Shayle puton an old overcoat, and with a soft felthat pulled down over his eyes startedoff.

The village streets were deserted, thelittle shops all looked empty and forlorn,but as he passed Ivy Cottage Shaylerecognised a motor cycle propped againstthe railings as belonging to JimIWye-Smith, and he caught the cheeryglow of a lire in the. curtainless frontsitting room.; Was history repeating itself, bewondered grimly, and was Lena tryingto make a fool of Babs' brother evenas she had made a fool of him?

He strode on down the road which■skilled the Wyi-Smilhs" estate, and hadalmost reached the entrance to the woods,when he heard the sound of Hying feet on

Jthe wet road behind him, and, turningsharply, saw Babs.She'was wearing her old raincoat andthe soft tweed hat which he knew so well,and her cheeks were flushed with the coolair and with her own terrible nervous-ness us she broke out breathlessly:j "How fast you walk! Are you running.away from anybody? 1 saw- you alongthe road and thought you were comingin, biit you didn't, so I came outinstead."

She looked up at him, a wavering fearin her eyes, and then, as he did notspeak, she broke out again: "Are yougoing through the wood's, and may Icome, too'/"

Shayle looked at her and quickly away.He stammered something about it beingso wet, that the footpaths would besopping, and that she would take cold.

Then for >i moment, they were bothsilent, till Balis said very quietly:

"I never take cold, and the footpathis never \?ry wet. The trees are so thickthey keep the rain out."I She felt as if she were struggling in a! dream. There wit* a terrilile sense ofdisaster at her heart, and she felt coldthrough all her body. Then .villi aneffort she tried once more.

"I was going to write to yon if wehad not met. 1 was afraid you might beill."I III! when Jim had told her he hadbeen out walking witli .Mrs. Klkin.I She looked at him and saw the pallor ofhis face and the shadows around hiseyes, and her warm heart ached for himas she asked again:i "Oh, have you been ill, Shayle':"I He shook his head. "So, I've beenbusy."I -Busy:" She caught the word upbreathlessly. Too busy to come and seeher whom'he had said he loved? Busy,when all the world knew that his oneoccupation was the killing of time. For aImoment she felt -sick,, with bitterestIindignation, then once more she held out'a trembling olive branch.i "Have I done anything to offend you?"! They were in the woods now. walkingIclose together because of the narrow foot-path, but at her question Shuvle fell apace behind her, and hie voice soundedmuffled when he answered.; "Of course not. Why should I be!offended?"

He could not see her face, could notsee the stark look of pain that filled herIblue eyes, and the helpless quivering ofher lips, or perhaps even then he mighthave found the courage with which totell the truth, but Babs walked onsteadily till that moment of agony hadpassed and she could control herself oncemore, then she turned on the narrowfootpath with its trailing border ofbushes and brambles, and its overheadcanopy of interlaced branches, and shesaid very quickly and clearly:

"Shayle. isn't it rather cheap, treat-ing mc like this, after what happenedthe other night ?"

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.ADMISSION AGE RAISED.MAY WOT SIT TILL 17.

IM.MATI"i;ITV OK .MI.YD.

(V.y Tcli-.-r:ii'li I'ri-ss Ass.>'-iiitliiliI( Illils-j'HILIIUI. Tuesday

TliP ([unsticin hi" tin, mntririiltitioii iipcWjis ilisfUHHpd :ii :i rUlinp of the NVwXi-aknd I'nivrr.-it v Senate to-day. I'rn-posiils were lirought Jmvn liy 11 ran-mittee to make the n»c of entrance toii university of v matriculuti-d student17 yeara iiistpiul of l(i us at present.The' proposal rliil not affect the age atwhich a candidate may sit fur the<■xaniin.ition. If a candidate for matricu-lation passed at 1-f years lie would liuvuto wait until attaining 17 years of ageliefore the university would admit him.

Professor T. A. Hunter, in moving theadoption vi till' recommendation, saidpractically all who had to ileal withmatriculated students were impressedwith ihe. immaturity of mind of manyof them. The committee considered thatthe age. should he raised to 17 yearshnd the univpr.-ity Fcholarship npo re-duced from 19 to 18 years. A satisfactorypreliminary proundinp; of HO years agowas not sufficient now upon which toenter a university collepe, and the boyor girl who matriculated early wouldlie well advised t.. remain at a secondaryschool until 17 years of ape. They wouldthen be able to cuter into universitylife more fully.

Mr. J. Caughley, Director of Educa-tion, in seconding the motion, said thatthe new rule would not interfere withstudents sitting for matriculation, butthey could not register before they were17. The presence' of very young peoplein university classes tended to dragthe level of the classes down.

More Honours, Less Ability.Sir Robert Stout opposed the proposal

strongly. ]Ie said it would encouragemore honours ami less able men. Theputting into effect of the motion wouldho to hinder the middle-class studentand help the high-class student.Intellects developed at various ages,which no arbitrary rule could fix, andthere should be absolute freedom inHie matter. It would be grossly unfairto hold the brilliant student back.

Professor O. E. Thompson said thecrying need wua more maturity of mind.Tlio exceptional cases should not be(specially catered for.

Sir Lindo Fergrison said it was a ques-tion that should be considered to someextent from the medical point of view.For the ordinary pirl it was highlyadvisable that the strain of universitylife should not be placed upon her untilshe was at least 17 years of age. Theyowed it to the future mothers of therace that the strain of university lifebhuuld not be placed upon girls at acritical age.

Professor Segar: Is it worse than theschool strain,;.Sir Lindo Ferguson: Yes, I think bo.The Hon. Dr. Collins supported the

proposal from the physiological point ofricw. They all knew that the brilliantboys were not successes in after life.

Professor 11. W. Segar said a boyrecently carve to the university at 10years of age in "shorts," and girls withlong plaits of hair. They were not nbleto mix With their fellow students onterms of equality. Students who matri-culated late were usually the best fromthe university point of view,

Professor A. Wall said that a Canter-bury College" rtuaent who recentlyreturned from Cambridge told him hewas impressed with the more maturedmind of theEnglish university man thanthat of the Dominion man.

Sir Robert Stout: Do you suggest theyare more developed?

Professor Wall: Yes..Sir Robert Stout: Absolute rubbish.Professor J. C. Sperrin-Johnson saidhis experience waa that it was advisablefor the early matriculated student tostay on at a secondary school. What was

done there? Practically nothing. Withthe medicalcourse the age was IS yeara,so be was not affected, but he doubtedthe wisdom of making a student waitfor some time.

Cost to the Parents.Professor J. Hight hoped the motionwould not be carried. It was doubtful

if the university entrance examinationbrought out the best students. Raisingthe ago would entail a heavier burdenupon poor people in the maintenanceo£ a son or daughter for another year.Sir Robert Stout: Hear, hear.

The chancellor said the senate shouldfettle the question. His experience ledJiim to believe that the age of matri-culants waa too young. There should bea test to prevent immature studentsgoing into the university. It would notjnean that the students would bedebarred from a university course. Hanysecondary school students regarded theexamination as setting the seal on theirsecondary school course and intended toenter mercantile offices.

The motion was carried by 11 votesto 7.

HIGHWAYS BOARD.TROUBLE WITH BOROUGHS

PROTEST FROM MOCXT ALBERT.

"I do not suppose the Great XorthRoad carries one-tenth of the traffic-that passes over the New Xorth Road,"said the _\luy,,r (Mr. L. E. Rhodes)at last night's meeting of theMount Albert Borough Council. Theremark was made following, upon theannouncement that the Main HighwaysBoard could not assist Mount Albert tomaintain the New North Road as thatportion of it within the borough wasnot a main highway.

"I am not t-atistied with the reply,"Eaid Mr. Rhodes. '"I consider," lieadded, "that Mount Albert is par-ticularly hard hit with the heavytraffic that passes through our district.We contribute considerably towards theupkeep of the main highways and a bigpercentage of the motor trullic j-'uenright through our district. I certainlythink tin.' matter should lie carriedfurther."

it ivas (leoidi.'d that the F.ppal andFinance i oinmittee should consider thesteps to be taken.

Following upon the Highways Hoard'srefusal to the boroiiprh, it was de-jcided (on tlie lines suggested by Kiccar-ton Borough Council) to protest againstthe injustice of the policy adopted faythe board in refusing to assist boroughsthat have main highways runningthrough their districts and to iar-J-liament to amend the law in order tocompel the board to give such assistance.The I'Ulincil further derided to sendcopies of the motion to the Minister ofPublic Works and the member for thedistrict.

A London Critic, on a recent Albert HallRecital:—"A small grey man held anaudience that entirely tilled the immensebuilding. It was Kreisler. tho greatest■Violinist in the world. There is the sameexquisite, limpid silvery tone as before, thesame effortless ease, the same delicate grateand the same superb breadth of phrasing.IT WAS THE SAME KRKISLKR. ANDTHERE'S AN END ONT. Kreisler'splaying assuredly produced an Imperishableimpression. All ait of profound i-ourtosyoccurred in the middle of the Concert, whenour most prominent Violinist handed awreath of laurels to Kreisler—the compli-ment was of the rare-st siguiticance

EVENING, EVERYBODY.

Well time's getting on, so is the pro-gramme. To-morrow or Friday I shallhave some REAL NEWS. In the meantime1 wish to deny the rumour that 1 haveheen appointed Kislinp of Christchurch.It was.a gross exasperation. I am merelynominated as oliuplaiu to the Freeman'sBay Trotting Club.

I understand that certain maliciouspersons are injuring my concert by spread-ing a report that MR. TOM BLOOD-WORTH and 1 are to do a SNAKECHARMING ACT. The only snakes Ipossess arc in pickle in my museum.

Anyhow the point is that the BOXPLAN will he open at MESSRS. LEWIS11. EADY AND SON, LTD.. ON MONDAY

[MORNING NEXT. RESERVES (to you)I cost 3/. Ordinary Stalls, 'J/, and TopI Gallery A 808. If you don't like the

show just ASK for your money back after-wards. 1 said ASK.

ONE 808 and TWO 808 TICKETS! obtainable at CLEAL'S, Tobacconist Vie-Itnria Arcade, or CITY MISSION JUMBLKSHOT, corner Wellesley Street West and' Albert Street.

Watch FRIDAY'S ADVTS. (both papers)for PROGRAMME DETAILS.

Sorry I missed the AD. yesterday, run-ning short of cash. Come on someone, bea sport. Slipusnquid.

By the bye, the show is

JASPERS CONCERT.ASPER'SAnd the date is

rpiIURSDAY, "jITAY f>QmiIURSDAY, "\TAY k>^"

But where?—Well now I ask yon'THE BIi; TOWN HALL, of course, what

other building will hold the uSUO peoplewho want to go ?

But I must run. there's the telephone,• JHope it's good news.CIIEEUIO, T
