For the cause that lacks assistance,For the tcrong that needs resistance,For the future in the distance,And the good thai we can do.
It is recalled that on the night of agreat party triumph ,an electionorganiser was in a subdued frame ofmind. "It is all very well," he said.'•You are all thinking of to-day's elec-tion; I am thinking of the next election;for the work after success is harderthan the work after defeat." More thanone friend of the Conservatives inBritain is giving the party the adviceimplied in this anecdote. Mr. Baldwin,
we believe, realises as well as any onethat the great majority he has just beengiven is not a license to take thingseasily, and that if Conservatism is notto provoke a severe reaction, it mustact with vigour and intelligence. Hisfirst step was to form his Ministry, andwe publish to-day the list of the prin-cipal members. Some of the appoint-ments will cause surprise and provokecriticism. The party Mr. Baldwin leadsis united again, for lie has includedLordBirkenhead and Mr. Austen Chamber-lain in his Cabinet. That is somethingto the good, but many people will doubtthe wisdom of giving Lord Birkenhoada Cabinet post while the Ulsterboundary dispute remains unsettled, a»dsome may question whether LordBirkenhead's record— :i is impossible toforget that ho was once "GalloperSmith"—and his temperament, makehim the best choice for the India Officein these unprccedentedly difficult times.His "glittering prizes" speech at Glasgowhas not been forgotten. Our own opinionis that, able though lie is, the Govern-ment would be better without him. Menof all parties will be pleased to see Mr.Austen Chamberlain in the Governmentagain. Mr. Chamberlain is not brilliant—probably he is less able than hisbrother Neville—but he is trusted. Hegoes to the Foreign Office, of which hehas had no experience. He will directit honestly, but has he sufficientimagination and elasticity of mind tomake a really successful ForeignMinister?
The two features of Mr. Baldwin'sselection that will excite most commentare the passing over of Lord Curzon forthe Foreign Office »;id the appointmentof Mr. Churchill to the Exchequer. LordCurzon is an able and devoted publicservant, an aristocrat with that senseof duty which has moved so many mem-bers of his class, but in outlook and tem-perament he is not the man to negotiatewith foreign Powers in these new times.He. belongs to an old regime. TheForeign Office must have given Mr.Baldwin much thought, but probably henever contemplated following Mr.MacDonald'a example and taking thepost himself. A Prime Minister has fartoo much to do to tie himself to a greatDepartment. His choiceof Mr. Churchillfor the Exchequer is very surprising.Mr. Churchill has been many things inhis time; it could be eaid of him, as wassaid of another Englishman, that hewould cheerfully and confidently takecommand of the Fleet or perform asurgical operation. One of the things,however, in which he has never shownmuch interest is finance. That restless,exuberant, risk-loving mind is hardlythe sort that one looks for in a Chan-cellor of the. Exchequer. However, it istold of his father, Randolph Churchill,that when a clerk brought him, asChancellor, some decimal figures, heiskedswbat "these d d dots" were.yet he was not a failure in the office.There is bound to be some resent-ment in the party. Mr. Baldwin had,besides himself, two ex-Chancellors atliis disposal, but he gave what isregarded as the second post in thegovernment to a man who deserted theUnionist party years ago, enjoyedseveral high positions in Liberal Minis-tries and the Coalition, and returned tothe fold just before the elections. Mr.Churchill, however, will not mind thesemurmurs. He is back on the front pageigain, as the Americans say, and hisippointment to the Exchequer consider-ably betters his prospects of succeedingto the leadership of the party.
The Colonial Office should be welllirected by Mr. Amery, who has first-hand knowledge of the overseas Empiremd previous experience in the Depart-ment. Mr. Amery has served hiscountry in many capacities, but onegathers that with him Imperial ques-tions have always been first in impor-tance. He is an uncompromising pre-ferentialist and protectionist, and theepoch-making Migration Act of threerears ago was mainly his work. Underliim the Colonial Office will give every;onsideration to the Dominion point of(iew. At the time of writing only themore important appointments are avail-able, but these chow that Mr. Baldwinis not making a narrow choice of col-leaguee, and that while one or two ofthe selections may be unfortunate, theCabinet as a. whole promises to representbhebeet brains of at least the older menin the party. How much new blood heis introducing will be known when thelist, of major and miaoe Ministers 5sBompleta. - - •■ .;■■ iv..j .
THE WESTERN HILLS.Good luck to the society that hae
been formed at Glen Eden to make theWaitakerc ranges, more popular. They
Ishould be much more popular. For everyIten men and women who go up thereto enjoy the beauty of bush, the superbpanoramas of land and pea, and thedivine air. a thousand should do so fortheir physical, mental, and spiritualhealth. The hills are a great play-ground—waiting for the players. Theyhave a wonderful beauty of their own,and a climate that is a priceless oppositeto the enervating airs of the easternbays. At present their value is notknown, and they lack thing.* thatattract the holiday maker. The nowsociety will have plenty to do. It canhelp to get better roads and make newones, to establish accommodation houses,and generally encourage Aucklandpeople to go to the hills. There aretramping clubs in Wellington, whosemembers make holiday regularly on theTararuas. Why not tramping clubs inAuckland? AValking on the Port Hillsis a favourite amusement in Christ-church. There the enthusiasm of anumber of men and women has put aroad along the summit for miles, andfurnished the hills with a chain ofrefreshment rooms. The new Aucklandsociety could learn much from Christ-church. But why call it "the BlueMountains Society',? Certainly ourmountains are blue—a glorious blue—but why take a name that has definiteAustralian associations? Let the Wai-takeres stand on their own name, andnot on something foreign. Also, wehope that the society is not going to beconfined to Glen Eden. It should beextended to Auckland city, where livemost of the people who will use themountains. We look forward to seeinga strong society established in the cityand under a local name.
THE SESSION."Even tho weariest river winds some-
where safe to sea," and even the most,
tired Parliament adjourns in the end.All through the session that lias justended there has been a suggestion ofweariness, and certainly much time waswasted. There was the usual large cropof legislation, some of which, passed inhaste, is bound to provide profitablework for lawyers. Legislation in hasteis not an evil oonfined to New Zealand.The last "Bulletin" says that lawspassed in a hurry and amended in thesame way have become a curse to theCommonwealth. The particular matterthat drew this comment was a Billwhich, though promised in the FederalBudget on July 31, did not arrive inthe House until October 1, by whichtime the Government was engaged in astruggle to get twenty new Acts hurledon the Statute Book in six sittings. TheBill was rushed through the House, butrejected by the Senate, and the "Bul-letin" thinks that in the circumstancesrejection was a service to Australia. Wehope that Mr. Massey will accept thesuggestion that Parliament meet earlier.It should assemble much nearer thebeginning of the financial year, so thatthe country would know early in theyear what its taxation was going to be.It lies with members themselves, ofcourse, and with their constituents, to istop waste of time and give the businessof the country its proper consideration,but we believe that earlier sessionswould make for improvement.
The average man might find it difficultto name the outstandingbusiness of thesession. There has, perhaps, been nonoteworthy measure spectacular in itssubject or size, but some importantworkhas been done. Taxation was reduced,but the overdue task of changing theincidence of taxation was not taken up.The policy of control of exports wasextended. So was the moratorium—unwisely. Parliament, indeed, showeditself to be more incompetent in dealingwith mortgages than on any other ques-tion. Perhaps the most important busi-ness of the session related to publicworks. The finance of road-making wasimproved, and the Minister of Railwaysand Public Works brought down freshinstalments of his policy of reform, anda large programme of railway improve-ments. The Motor Vehicles Bill, whichshould have been passed some time ago.became law at last. The outlook forbetter roads, more efficient railways, andgenerally a more business-like control ofpublic works, is brighter. Much timewas wasted over the Gaming Bill, butthe questions of licensing and electoralreform were postponed. The Govern-ment's attitude towards electoral reformwas unsatisfactory. Mr. Massey with-drew in the face of obstruction his Billproviding for partial application of pro-portional representation, and when heintroduced his second measure told theHouse that it could amend it as itpleased, yet when a member proposed toput P.R. into it. one of Mr. Massey'.-Ministers raised a point of order, andhis objection was upheld. The Govern-ment is evidently not serioys on thissubject. That representation in Britainis grossly uneven does not impress it.Ministers are perhaps reconciled to thepossibility of representation beinguneven after the next election by thethought that the unevenness may be intheir favour.
'Married couples are like motortyres," said Mr. Hunt, S.M.. this morn-ing. "When they are new they are allright, but when they are old no amountof patching does much good."
Recently the Auckland Power Boardarranged to meet members of suburbanbodies at Green Lane for the purposeof demonstrating street illumination byelectricity. Representatives were pre-sent from Ellerelie, One Tree Hill, andPapakura. The choice of the night wasa peculiar one, for it was given at fullmoon.
The Minister of Education. Hon. f.J. Parr, has drawn attention to anerror in thestatement published rester-dav regarding the proposed increase? inthe salaries of secondary school teachers.The statement said that the marriedallowance would be increased by £ln-whereas as a matter of fact it was notintended to increase the married allow-ance to secondary school teachers thisjrw.
i There is every indication that thefarmers in the Jlangere and MountKoskill districts will reap heavy cropsof hay this season. The bountiful rainswhich have watered the earth since earlyspring have produced an almost pheno-minal growth of grass. If King Solwill be equally generous with plenty oisunshine during this month, to ripenthe grass until it is cut and gathered,the farmers will be well supplied with
; winter feed for their cattle.Seven years before the war, In 1907
Christmas gratuities were given by theHospital Board to less than 500 recipients at a cost of £23. That sumhas steadily mounted up year by yeartill now those who receive thebounty number well into four figures,and the amount exceeds three figures., What the gratuity means to over athousand people can only be under-stood when it is realised with whatpleasure it is received.I "Running race trains to Kllerslie isnow a losing proposition," saida railwayofficial to-day when discussing the com-petition of trams and buses, "andthough perhaps it pays the tramwaysall right, the buses threaten to playhavoc there. It is not likely we shallget back the traffic we have lost onlhe short runs, and what the extension
Jof the trams did to the railways, theI buses will do to the trams unless thei tram fares are reduced. The City Coun-cil Bays this is impossible, but to mc itseems the only way out of a seriousdifficulty which has to be faced."
'Die amount of sickness that is pre-valent in the Auckland district wasnoticed yesterday by the members oithe Hospital Board, who were dealingwitli relief matters. Many mothers hadbeen having an anxious time with theirchildren, who had been down with
I measles and other illnesses, while many!of the grown-ups were showing evidentj signs of severe attacks of "flu." "Keepi tho children warm and keep them inbed," was the advico given, "and go to
I bed yourselves when you can," was the! advice given to mothers, upon whom ai very heavy burden rested, because of.the heartlessness of many of thosewho were supposed to be the bread-winners, but who instead had. becomedeserters.
A narrow escape from drowning tookplace at Hukareke on Thursday (reportsthe Reefton correspondent of the "Grey-mouth Star"). Two children, returningfrom school, had to cross a streamwhich a cloud-burst on the hills had converted into a raging torrent. The elderof the two attempted to cross the plankwhich serves as a bridge, but midwayacross she became giddy and fell intothe stream, and was at once swept awaybefore the eyes of her companion, agedsix years. The latter, however, at once
1ran screaming for assistance, and aftergoing about a mile and a-quarter met aman, who ran to the creek, and aftersearching for a time found the littlegirl in a clump of blackberries, fortu-jnately with her head above water, butunconscious. She was at once got toland and first aid rendered, and thechild brought to. During her periloussweep down the river the child hadbeen torn under three fences and sus-tained severe bruises.
A teacher in a coastal town is re-ported (says the Hawera "Star") tohave set out to suppress the slightestsign of the children under his care de-veloping the nicotine habit- In openingthe campaign he asked all those childrenwho had eve- smoked to stand forward.About 50 per cent the scholars, in-cluding many of the gentler sex, ad-mitted having at some time or othercommitted the "crime." Pie thereupontook on the arduous task of supplyingeach culprit with six good and soundstrokes with the strap. The offencelias not been committed in the schoolsurroundings nor was it shown that ithad been in practice recently. Manyirate arents resent the action taken,and questions are now being asked asto how far the teacher's jurisdictionextends.
Wellington College was established inIStii. but it is proposed to celebratethe jubilee this year, which is the 50thanniversary of the removal of the schoolto its present site. Agreatgathering ofold boys is hoped for. and a programmeohas been arranged extending over threedays—2oth and 30th November to IstDecember. On the first day there willbe a mass meeting in the Town Hall.jwhen appropriate speeches will be madejand school songs will be sung. On Sun-jday aftennoon there will lie a proces-I sion and church service in the collegegrounds (or in the Town Hall if theweather is wet), and on Monday, OldBoys' Day will be held at the Collegegrounds -with events and competitionson a grander scale than usual. On that
I day. also Firth House, the GiffordObservatory, and the Old Boys' Sports; Pavilion will be opened. In the even-
I ing it is intended to hold a dinner. OldBoys who cannot come to Wellington
! will, it is expected, hold re-unions on asmaller scale in other places.
"A great deal of the delinquencyamong girls of the present day iscaused by the cabarets and 1/6 'hops,'.and the girl of an unsound mind is led. into temptation at these places of! amusement."' Such were the views oi
I Miss .lean who has been engagedon girl welfare work in the Dominion
I for some time, in addressing theannual meeting of St. Anne's Guild.I Christchurch. Miss Begg said that, since her return to it hadjbeen her privilege to do a little workfor the Education Department. In1doing this work she had taken aispecial interest in the work of the St.Anne's <;uild, that of caring for girlswho had strayed, She referred to aremark of Archdeacon Taylor madeearlier in the evening, of cutting downthe expense in the home. She hadhoped that thoy would have risen andwith one voice shouted. "Nay." Shesaid that the home should not be madea money-making concern. "It had oftenbeen said, "Why don't the girls workfor themselves;'. It would not help to
reform the girls if they had to washand iron clothes for eisht hours a clay.
I She made many references to the samework that was being carried out inAmerica and spoke, of the girlg as beinamorally sick. Tho girls were not bad.j but their souls were very sick. Sheiadvocated that instead of enlargingjthe institution it would be better tohave another house in another part oftho town where eirls who had donewell in tho first home could be takenand given a freer hand, a sort of half-way house.
Not much is heard in New Zealandabout disproportion as between menand women (remarks the Dunodin"Star"), but this spring a somewhatalarming bovine irrelation is reportedfrom various parts of Xew Zealand,there being an overwhelming and quiteunoxplainable preponderance of bullcalves. A Taieri farmer's experiencemay be supposed to constitute therecord of misfortune Sixty-three of hii. Frieeian cows have given birth to fifty-I seven bull*.
AUSTRALIA'S NAVY.THE SUBMARINE CRUISERS.
I4000 MILE RADIUS.
TO BE BUILT IN ENGLAND.*
Mr. Bowden's announcement thattenders have been called by the Gov-ernment for the construction in GreatBritain, of two submarine cruisersmarks the first definite step in Aus-tralia's new naval building programme,which was outlined in the House byMr. Bruce, the Prime Minister, inAugust last.
Owing to the great secrecy which hasbeen preserved regarding new submar-ine designs, and to the fact that theplans are jealously guarded in theBritish Admiralty, little is known of
! the design of the two new vessels. Itiis believed, however, that they will belof an improved "X" class—although1the price ( £350,000) quoted by theI Minister is regarded as insufficient toj cover the cost of the latest and mostpowerful type.
In the "X" class submarine, the sut-face machinery consists of semi-Dieselengines, while, when submerged—the
! vessel is driven from electric bat-i teries. It is anticipated that the twoI new vessels will have a maximum sur-
face speed of 25 knots, and a submergedspeed of 10 knots.
Cruising Radius.'Mr. Bowden's estimate of a cruising
radius of 3000 miles is considered tobe conservative.j The new craft will carry a maxi-mum capacity of 350 tons of oil fuel,on which they should have a steamingradius of 4000 miles at economicalspeed. The two new vessels willundoubtedly add considerably to thenaval defence of Australia when they: are placed in commission in thosewaters in the summer of 1926.
The placing of the contract for thebuilding of the two new cruisers can-not possibly be made before the endof January.
There is a growing feeling that theGovernment would be justified in decid-ing upon the construction of thesevessels in Great Britain' and utilisingthe money thus saved—about one mil-lion pounds—in building at Cockatoo afloating dock and seaplane carrier.
The. Cabinet has been impressed bythe concluding paragraph in Sir JohnMonash's report, in which he pointsout the advantages of this plan interms which arc almost recommenda-tory.
DEATH IN GAOL.
Thomas E. Calvert, a middle-agedman, who was arrested on Monday last,and subsequently charged before Mr.J. W. Poynton, S.M., on Tuesday withdrunkenness, was remanded for a weekfor medical treatment for heart disease.He died at the Mount Eden gaol at 4a.m. to-day.

The chairman of the Ashburton Elec-tric Power Board, Mr. F. W. Watt, hasresigned his office and membership. Hestates that the immediate cause of hisresignation relates to the decision of theboard to supply him a free power ser-vice for his house during his period 6)chairmanship. Although the decisionhad been rescinded on the matter beingbrought under the notice of the boarcfand the resolution only actually appliedto one month's current, which was paidby him 24 days late, the Audit Depart-ment held that disqualification, underthe Electric Power Boards Act, hadtaken effect, and consequently it wasimpossible for him to officiate furtheras a member until such time as he couldbe, and was, re-elected.

THE ULSTER MATCH.ALL BUCKS' GOOD FORM.HALF A. DOZEN TRIES SCORED.
NICHOI.LS CONVERTS FIVE.
<By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.)
LONDON, November ti.The All Blacks played tho fifteenth
match of their tour at Belfast yesterday,defeating Ulster by 28 points to 6.
The Ulster team included the whole ofthe barks and four of the forwards whohad played for Ireland on Saturds.y.iThe match was witnessed by 12,000 spec-tators, including the Duke of Abercorn,,Lord Londonderry and Sir James Craig.I At the outset the All Blacks werepenalised twice in quick succession forscrummaging faults. Crawford, how-over, failed badly with tho kicks, butdistinguished himself by magnificentkicks into touch. Twelve* minutes afterthe start Parker initiated a. series ofbeautifully executed passing movements,Jwhich Sveuson capped with a try.Nicholls converted with a magnificentkick from the touchline.
EVERY TRY A GOAL.Lively work by the Ulster forwards
kept Nepia on the alert as the result;of strong loose rushes, but the All,Black forwards, by virtue of more con-!ierted scrummaging, and superiorweight, had the greater share of theball.I Cookepaved the way for the next scorewith an accurate cross-kick from whichIrvine obtained an easy try. Nichollsagain converted.
Shortly afterwards Nicholls and Cookemade a brilliant opening for I'arker toscore under the posts. Nichols took thekick and once more added the majorpoints.At this stage the All Blacks werepenalised ten times, three within kick-ing distance, and from one of these pen-alties Crawford kicked a goal.
Half-time sounded with the score'■"'—3, in New Zealand's favour.ALL BLACK BACKS TOO GOOD.
On the resumption of play the Ulsterforwards for a few minutes showed outwell in effective, loose dribbling rushes.Generally they were better than theIrish pack on Saturday. The New Zea-land hacks then got to work.
Mill broke away from a scrum, andafter a passing bout, in which Cookeand Lucas figured, Steel got across atthe corner. The angle was too much forNicholls to kick the goal.
Mill's play was outstanding. Heopened up the game, enabling Parker toscore a second try. Nicholls converted.
The gem of the matth followed. Nepiaran through to half-way, the movementculminating in a fine try by SvensoD.Nicholls again converted.
In the last few minutes, after a pass-ing rush, 11. Stephenson scored a bril-liant try, which was not converted.
The game thus ended:—All Blacks 28Ulster 8- (A. and N.Z. Cable.)

DAVIS CUP TEAM.RETURNS TO SYDNEY.
raVXRCXBIX TTLDEW.
WORLD'S GREATEST PLATER.The Australian Davis Cup team GL. Pattereon, P. O-Hara Wood, PKalms and R. E. Schlesinger, havereturned to Sydney from America, wherethey faded to wrest the Davis Cup fromAmerica.Patterson said he considered W TTilden was the greatest player in theworld. He had never met his equal,and at present there was not a player!who was in the same street as the tall;American as a eingles player. TheAustralian captain claeeed VincentRichards, W. Johnston, J. O. Andereon 'and J. Lacoste as second-grade players!when compared with Tilden.
Treated WelL"Everything in the power of theAmerican Lawn Tennis Aesociation wasdone to make us comfortable," declaredPatterson, "and we were treated excep-tionally well all the way from SanFrancisco to New York and back again.The courts we played on were good, butthe day before the final heavy rain fellon the Germanton courts, making themsoft and clow. To have a chance wewanted them fast. We thought we hada hope, too, with Richards in the singles,but the youthful American has improvedout of eight, and our hopes ol winning
a match were dashed to the ground,especially when I lost the last of thesinglea."
Referring to CHara Wood, Pattersonsaid the Victorian partner never playedbetter in his life. "His match againstBorotra, whom he beat, after a gruel-ling battle, was wonderful, and, aa itturned out, saved us from defeat in thefinal for the right to challenge the cupholders."
Patterson added that Schleeinger andKalms should show \ronderfully im-proved form when they settle down tothe Australian courts again. Both hadbenefited by their trip.
Australia's Future Chances.Asked how he regarded Australia'sprospects in the Davis Cup matches inthe event of a team going to America
next year, Patterson stated that withTilden, America had a chance almostsecond to none. If by any chance, how-ever, the Americanshould not play, Aus-tralia, with J. O. Anderson, would giveboth Richards and Johnston a hard tus-ele; in fact, Australia, lie thought,would win.
B. E. S.'jlesinger, who acted as man-'ager, said that Australia's net profitsof the tour would probably be £1200.This is much smaller than last year,when Australia benefited by nearly£4000.
Schlesinger stated that, if an invita-tion were sent to Richards to visit Aub-'tralia, he was sure that he woild accept.He was not quite certain of the move-ments of the Kinsey brothers. Whenthe team left San Francisco the clay jcourt champions were in Mexico, andwere contemplating a trip to Japan.Possibly they could be induced to extendtheir trip to the Commonwealth.
Kalms stated that he had benefitedimmensely by the trip. He pointed outthat he was amazed by the manner inwhich the American tennis players gotover their financial worries. There wasalways some one willing to come totheir rescue. Americans, added Kalms,appreciated a victory, and Helen Wills*andVincent Richards were each presentedwith a motor car as recognition of theirvictories at Wimbledon and the OlympicGames.
Kalms intends to play againstVictoria in the forthcoming inter-Statematches.
A reception was tendered by theAustralian Association to the DavieCup team at the Hotel Australia.
"I Have Gone to the Pack."Reviewing the Australian Davis
Cup team'a performances in America,Gerald Patterson, the captain, said:For myself. I have gone to thepack, although, perhaps, I will still con-tinue to get a good deal of enjoymentout of the game. I certainly am notgoing to retire yet."
Never Hoped to Win."We had no false or forced ideas
about our game over there," continuedPatterson. "We were very satisfied toget into the challenge round. We neverIhoped to win, but we did think we might,have won one match."
He spoke of Kalms and Schleeinger asimproved players, who would give eachother a good go in the local matches.
Regarding Tilden, Patterson saidthere was no chance of his going out ofthe game.
"I do not think the people would lethim retire, anyway," he added.
Summing up the tour, Pattersonsaid: "I think the team did all thatwas expected of it. When America putRichards in we thought we might havea. chance of one game. But it made nodifference, after all. I tried topersuade Tilden to make a trip toAustralia, but didnot succeed."
FATHER AND SON.
AGGREGATE AGES 146.
MAINTENANCE FOR FATHER.
An unusual application for mainten-tcnance was before Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., jat the Magistrate's Court this morning, jwhen an order for the sum of 6/ a week;was sought against Charles William!Hunwick, a farmer of 61 years of age, at'Waipuku, towards the maintenance ofhis father, Charles Hunwick, aged 85.
Mr. Bennett called the complainant, adaughter-in-law, who said that the oldgentleman had been living at her place;for three and a-half year, and for thelast two years had not been out of hislied. He was receiving a pension of15/ a week, and also 5/ a week from
one son, but the present defendant wouldnot contribute. !
Evidence given by defendant at iStratford was read, in which he said:that he was a farmer at Waipuku witha wife and four children, the youngestof whom was 14 years. All worked onthe farm, the son being paid £2 a week,and two daughters £1 each.' Theinterest on the farm amounted to somuch that the defendant could not payanything towards the support of hisfather.
Mr. McKay, appearing for the defend-ant, said he knew nothing aboutdefendant's circumstances beyond whatappeared in the evidence.
Mr. Hunt: I know what it is. It's thewife who has all the say. Order madefor 5/ ft week.
AN OLD COTTAGE.
BUILT OVER 80 YEARS AGO.REAL HEART OF KATTBt
SOME EARLY RECOLLECTIONS.
In the days when Auckland scarce wasfit to be termedeven a village and whatie now the main thoroughfare was agully down which flowed the waters ofLigar Canal to the seafront at thecorner of Shortland Street, some of theearly arrivals built cottages on the
I elopes rising to what is now Albert Park!on one side and Albert Street on the
' west. Some of these old buildings stillremain to show how well real heart ofkauri timber huts. One of these eot-
! tages fronts Albert Park in KitchenerStreet. It has within the last coupleof years been renovated, but it still hasa quaint old time appearance.
That cottage was erected over 80years ago, and to get its story a repre-sentative of the "Auckland Star" chattedwith Mrs. Frank Andrew, who nowresides with Mrs. Gladding, of MountainRoad, Mount Eden. Although 78 yearsof age, Mrs. Andrew's faculties are quit*keen, and she furnished some interestinginformation regarding the early days ofAuckland.
When asked how old the cottage is?she said: "Well, I am 78 years old andmy father, Mr. John Watson, took hisyoung bride to that cottage. It wasthen only two rooms, but he added an-other two. It has two chimneys. Iremember my father telling mc that hecarried all the bricks for these chimneysin two big Maori kits from the beach,which was thenabout where the VictoriaArcade stands."
Modest Beginnings.It will be seen from this that founders
of Auckland were content, or perhapscompelled by force of circumstances, tolive in very small wooden cottages notequal in size to the motor car sheds ofsomeof their descendants. Mr. Watsonwas a blacksmith by trade and servedhieapprenticeship at Preston. He wentfirst to Sydney, and then came across toAuckland. It is stated he was the firstof that trade to settle in this town.After working for some time in a sawmill at the Upper Thames, Mr. Watsonreturned to Sydney, where he married,and brought his wife back with him toAuckland.
Another Old Building.Adjoining the old cottage is another
ancient wooden building at the cornerof Victoria Street East. It is now afruit shop, but in the early daye was asmall store kept by a woman who couldneither read nor write. Still she managedto keep books. Another woman whohad that shop married one of the sol-diers in the barracks. , She had beencook for Governor Hobson and let herwages accumulate. When Lady Hobsonwas returning to England, she wasasked to get her servant a section ofland instead of her wages. The requestwas complied with and soyj ceres werepurchased in KarangnJ- „ Road, andmany years afterwards tnis formed partof a bequest of £40,000 for one of thechurches of the city, as the couple hadno children to leave their money to.
Sold For £100."Father," said Mrs. Andrew, "after-
wards sold our cottage for £100. Itmust be over 80 years since it was built,because a brother older than mc wasborn in it. With the money father got forthe cottage, be bought a strip of landrunning from High Street to O'OonnellStreet where the Safe Deposit Buildingnow stands. Hβ built a blacksmithshop fronting High Street and addedtwo rooms for us to live in. We usedto run over to Acacia Cottage on theother side of the street, where Dr. J.Logan Campbell lived in those days. 1used to go to the Church of Englandschool near where Fort Britomart usedto be (Emily Place). My old teachercame to see mc recently. She was aMies Goodfellow, but now is Mrs. Baird,and lives atOtahuhu- She said I musthave been one of the oldest girls in theechooL There was a big fire that sweptthe buildings in High Street from Kidd'sHotel (Commercial) right up toChanceryLane. Mr. Ogilvie, who still lives inAuckland, was born that night. Hismother was carried for safety to a cot-tage higher up the street, but as thefire spread to that building also, she wasremoved for safety to the WesleyanChurch (now the Deeds Office). 'Going for the Milk.
"TiVhen I was a little girl, I used togofor milk to a little shop that stoodabout where the Bank of New Zealandia now. There was a gully up QueenStreet, and I had to cross a little handbridge built across iU You might seeAuckland has practically all been builtsince I was born 78 years ago. Fatherdid not build again on the High Streetproperty, but sold the section for £900.Hβ then bought a farm at Papatoetoe,which my youngest brother recentlyparted with for £7000.
Lived at Otahuhu."Imarried Mr. Frank Andrew and went
to live at Otahuhu. He served duringthe Maori War in the Militia, andafterwards in tho Cavalry. I think thePrime Minister, Mr. Massey, was in theCavalry at the same time. When Mr.Massey contested the seat in Parlia-ment, I was the chairwoman of the firstladies' committee set up at Otahuhu tofurther his candidature. My fatherwas a Presbyterian and when St.Andrew's Church was built in SymondsStreet, he being a blacksmith, made allthe iron-work and gave it as His dona-tion from our family. I joined theSalvation Army when it first starteda.t Otahuhu, and belong to it yet, but Istill love the old Presbyterian Church.
Old Colonists' Reunion."I have attended all the old colonists'
reunions but the last one, when I wasnot well enough to go. Yon know Ithink it was a piiy to slop siiiL-ii: r "()iiGod of Bethel by whoso aid Thy peoplestill are led.' The early settlers of Auck-land brought God with them, and theyeang that hymn when they landed, andit is a pity not to still sing it at. theannual reunions.'

NATURE'S PANACEA.FOR THE TIRED AITO SICK.
BENEFITS OP AUCKLAND'S HILLS.
The restorative properties of €heatmosphere in the Blue Mountains, NewSouth Wales, have made the localitywidely known, and it is eagerly soughtby thousands who wish a change, eitherfor health sake or just for a rest. Thatis, of course, apart from the uniquescenic attractions. At the back doorof Auckland lie the Titirangi and Wai-takere ranges, enveloped in air as clearand invigorating as that of many of therenowned health resorte. Very few ofthe city'g population know what thesehills offer, and with the desire ofawakening interest in their undoubtedattractions "The Auckland Blue Moun-tain Society" -was formed last night atGlen Eden.
The objects of the society include theformation of tramping clubs and scien-tific excursions, the establishment of acentral bnreau of information regardingthe ranges, and the consideration ofroutes and promotion of means of trans-port, including the examination of thepossibility of a suburban electric rail-way system.

It wasalleged that they went to an hotel, andstayed there until 10 o'clock last night.They then adjourned to Albert Park,where they commenced to dance. Whileup there Raeburn alleged that Wilsonhad taken his pocket-book, and Wilsonran away, with Raeburn in pursuit.They had made a noiee in the streetwhich was disturbing.

Kvidence was given by accused'sfather relative to the epileptic fits, andby Dt.

TREATMENT IN HOSPITAL.A QUESTION OP FEES.
DOCTOR'S CLAIM PAILS.Reserved judgment waa deEvered atCoromandel yesterday by Mr. Salmon.SJrL, in eases in which the fornu-r
medical superintendent of the Coro-mandel Hospital,Dr. J. Spencer DanielLsuedhospital patients for surgical treat-ment.
The judgmentreviews the relationshipbetween the board and the doctor, andcomments npon the board's laxity andinconsistency with regard to its ownrules and by-laws. The 10 cases wereheard together, but the defendants fellinto two classes, subscribers and non-subscribere. The amounts claimed fromsir subscribers totalled £45, but of tliefour non-eubeeribere £45, but of thelatter Mr. W. Denize had paid fiveguineas into Court, disputing 10 guineas,and Mr. Harvey had paid £10 intoCourt, disputing £5 12/.The magistrate found that the opera-tions on the subscribers were well andskilfully performed, and were operationsof conveniencewithin the meaningof therules. He upheld the contention ofcounsels for defendants, that undersection 51 of the Destitute Persons Act.1910, the cost of defendants' treatmentin hospital was a debt due to the board,that plaintiff couldnotrecover personallyand that there was no priority of con-tract between plaintiff and the patienuPlaintiff wouldbe non-suited in all cases,but as the board was defending thecases and was partly to blame for tlieexisting misunderstanding, no costswould be allowed.
With regard to the non-subscribers. 'the magistrate said the onus had beenon plaintiff to prove that these patientswere private patients. Plaintiff hadadopted an entirely erroneous view inregarding all patients who were notsubscribers aa private patients. Themagistrate held that the by-laws pro-hibited the doctor from accepting feesfrom hospital patients, and also thatsection 51 applied. The by-laws werwadmittedly obsolete, but were still inforce. Plaintiff would be entitled tnjudgment for the amounts paid intoCourt by the defendants, W. C. Denizeand Harvey, for attendance outside * liehospital, but he would be non-suik-dwithout coats for the balance for treat-ment in the hospital. Judgment forplaintiff for £1 1/, fee for a certificate,was also given against Harvey.Plaintiff was non-suited without costsin the cases against Hannaford andRakich.
BOBBED IN MID-AIR.MOTHER SAID "NEVEB ON EATSTH."
When Mollie Michaelsnn, an eighteeu-year-old Chicago miss, pleaded with hermother to be allowed to have her hair"bobbed," the mother firmly replied."No. Never on earth."
And (saye the London "EvenimgNews") Mollie was an obedientdaughter, but ehe happened to knowan airman. To him she told hertroubles. He took her and a hair-dresser up in a "plane, and the "bob-bing" operation was performed, not on \earth, but in mid-air.
"IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE."Aβ the development of an idea to
fantastic bubble proportions by windygusts of words till the thing dancesabout ludicrously on the verge of a"bust," and then the providential intfin-vention of ali that is necessary to giveit life and body, the play "It Pays 1.0Advertise," is a delightful comedy ofthe boisterous and breezy type, satiris-ing the charming commercial proposi-tion of makingsomething out of nothingand all the public ingredients which jroto make a success of this delicatefinancial cookery. The very agreeable,impressions left in Auckland of thiswhirlwindcomedy, when it was put onfeaturing Fred Nibltf were revived atHis Majestys Theatre last night by theNellie Bramley Company, with CarlLawson as the commercial spell-binderand word-artist with his lightningseries of 20-word sketches which landhis victim on the verge of criminalbankruptcy, then bring to the rescue alife-saver who rings down the curtain onwedding bells and riches. It was quitea successful revival of the breezycomedy which kept the interest and com-pelled the laughter of the audieni-ethroughout. Mr. Lawson sustained tliepace admirable throughout, injectingenthusiasm into everybody with hisavalanches of words, and the strongsupport of Arthur Cornell in the role ntCyrus Martin for comedy relief, with.Miss Nellie Bramley, Miss Beryl Barva-clough and George Hewlett doing goodwork also in this direction, made thecomedy go with a swing.
"It "Pays to Advertise" provided athoroughly good night's fun, and itwiirbe staged to-night and tomorrownight, to be followed on Monday bythe new drama, ''Paid in Full."'
MINOR ACCIDENTS.'IVo further accident cases, making
four lor the day. were admitted to theAuckland Hospital soon after 1 oVlock.Leslie Keith Arnold, a Technical Schoolpupil, was pursuing another boy roundthe ulaygTound when he slipped andfractured his arm. After receivingattention he vrae able to proceed home.
Eugene Larder, &. blacksmith's strikeremployed on the railways, met with .1
peculiar accident which waa fortunatelynot very serious. He was cutting thelink of a chain when a piece of tiepunch flew off and struck his knee.

BEWILDERING WEALTH.THE FORDS INCOME TAX.FAIRBANKS AFFWJENCE.
NEW YORK, October 25.Confusion existe over the question of
■Che publication of millionaires' incomelax returns. The newspapers almostunanimously published the lists, al-though warned that they did so at theirown risk, pending a ruling by Mr. Stooe,the Attorney-General.
The returns were made available forinspection by the public by order of Mr.Ulair, the Revenue Commissioner. Inprevious years they were kept secret.
They show that the United StatesSteel Corporation paid 16,000,000 dol-lars (£3,200,000).
Mr. John D. Rockefeller, jnr., paid7.000,000 dollars (£1,400,000).
Other payments were as follow: Mr.J. D. Rockefeller, senr., 124,000 dollars(£24,800); Mr. J. P. Morgan, 98,000(£19,000); Mr. William R. Hearst, news-paper proprietor, 40,000 (£8000); Mr.EJbert Gary, head of the United StatesSteel Corporation, 500,000 (£100,000).
The earnings of Mr. Douglas Fair-banks, the screen star, are amazing, foilie paid £40,000.
There is much surprise at the small-ness of the incomes of Mesere. Rocke-feller, senr., Morgan and Hearst.
Mr. Henry Ford and hie company andfamily have paid the Government19,000,000 dollars (nearly £3,800,000) inincome tax, thug creating a world's
record in this direction. Mr. Ford, onhis own personal income, paid £300,000,his son, Edsel, £400,000, and the Fordcompanies the remainder.
Several interpretations of the p'ub-licatiou law have been given by sena-tors.
Senator Lα Follette, the third Pre-sidential candidate, declared that pub-lication was intended, while SenatorSmoot, chairman of the Finance Com-mittee, stated that it was entirely un-authorised.
In speeches, Senator La Follette pro-mised investigation of the tax of Mr.Harry Sinclair, the oil magnate, whopaid only 231 dollars (£42 12/) and Mr.Pierpont Morgan. Mr. Morgan paid08,000 dollars, while his juniorpartner,Mr. Thomas Lamoiit, paid 850.000 dol-lars (£170,000).
FOUR HANGED.ITALIAN BANDITS DIE.
EARNEST REPARATION.
MONTREAL, October 25.Four Italians were hanged to-day in
the old Bordeaux gaol for the murder ofa bank messenger. Twoothers also sen-tenced to death escaped by a last minutecommutation.
Mass was said for the condemned menjust before they went to the scaffold, andall spent their last few hours.in prayer.
Louis Morel, one of the condemnedmen, wrote a letter: "To My Creator,—Ioffer you my death in a spirit of repara-tion for all the sins of my life."
The men went to their death in pairs,the scaffolds being placed at oppositesides of the court.

A COMPANY'S FAILURE.FORMER MANAGER BANKRUPT.
ECHO OF A. R. McNEIL ANDCO., LTD.
LIABILITIES OP £0000 AND XOASSETS.
"My position -was brought aboutthrough my connection with A. R. Mc-Neil and Company, Ltd. I was managerof the company which was forced intoliquidation in August, 1921." So statedCyril Augustus Paque this morningwhen he met his creditors as abankrupt. According to the schedulebankrupt owes £6504 and his assets arenil.
Paque, in his statement, furtherstated that he did everything in hiepower to support tlie company, and forits benefit he mortgaged bis home for£3500, and his furniture for f4OO, allthe money going into the company. Hisfriends helped him. but it was of noavail as the company was forced intoliquidation. In round figures all themoney which he owed with the excep-tion of about £70had gone into the com-pany. These debts were incurred aboutthree and a-half to four years ago. andhad been reduced little by little as hewas able. "Threats of bankruptcy havebeen held like a pistol at mc for thepast three years, but I was determinedto pay. I kept plodding on and con-tinually reducing old debts," continuedthe statement. It concluded by empha-sising that bankrupt had worked dailyfrom 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and had managedto keep going andslowly reduce his debtsby operating a waste paper scheme.
Took Over the Company.Examined by the Official Assignee.
Mr. Fiehcr, bankrupt stated that hedrew £400 a year from A. R. McNeil andCo. In the final stages he.was the soleproprietor. Of the other two directors,McNeil and Mariner, the former wasbonght out and the latter eventuallytransferred his shares to Paquc. Hetook over the responsibility for certaindebts becauee he considered the money,which had been advanced to the companybyhis friends was becauseof his associa-tion with it. These debts he had re-duced since the liquidation by about£1000.
Mr. Fisher: Do you know that theresult of the liquidation was that claimswere proved for £21.000 and there wasnothing .to pay them?
Bankrupt. That is bo. The reason ofthe bankruptcy was threshed out in theSupreme Court and was due to theslump.
Mr. Fisher: Don't you think it wouldhave been better for you to have filedthen considering how heavily involvedyou were!
Bankrupt: May I ask how liave mycreditors suffered! What debts haveI incurred since?
Mr. Fisher: They have suffered to theextent of £7-5.
Paque retorted that he had hoped tomeet his obligations and consequentlydid not file.
Worthless Shares.Answering a question what considera-
tion he ga.ve Mariner for his shares,Paque replied: "None! It was a kind-ness to take them, he wanted to getout."
Further questioned about liabilitiescontracted after the liquidation bank-rupt admitted that he gave promissorynotes amounting to £600 to a firm whichwas owed that sum by the company.This firm took over an envelope agencyand bankrupt was their salesman. Heunderstood that the promissory noteshad been reduced by £100 in lieu of hiscommission.
"I would have paid the lot had I beenleft alone," retorted bankrupt to acreditor who inquired if there was anyprospect of a dividend. "I was workingas hard as it was possible. If you putanother man alongside mc I will workhim blind. If the creditors wouldfinance mc I would make money. Thecreditor's answer was that bankrupthad taken too much on himself when heassumed responsibility for A. R. Mc-Neil's debts.
A Lurid Performance.Mr. FisEer commented that lie was
quite prepared to believe what Paquehad said about the earnestness of hiswork, but he could not get away fromthe realisation that Paque"s was a verylurid performance. As manager lie wasprimarily responsible for the indebted-ness of the company. Many of the debtsof McNeil and Co., must have baen iii-curred when there was no prospect ofpaying. Had the matter been taken upimmediately after the dissolution some-thing might have been done, added Mr.Fisher.
The attitude of the creditors whenasked if they had any resolution to passwas that nothing was to be gained byanything they could do and the meetingaccordingly concluded.
The filed schedule showed tliesum of £2779 3/3 owing to unsecuredcreditors, but bankrupt admitted thntthere were two further sums totallingabout £400. The secured liabilitiesamounted to £400.3 the securities beinovalued at £3300. Other liabilities of£3000 made a total of £0900 3/3. Therewere no assets.

"WASHED ASHORE."
ORIGIN OF THE NAME PAKEHA.
J HOT A FLATTERING TITLE, jTHOUGHT WE WERE FLOTSAM.
'"Regarding Maori names and theirmeanings," writes a correspondent of the"Star," "will Mr. George Graham or Isome other authority tell us how the'Maoris came to call us white peopleTakehasV" '(here are many morepeople than the "Star's" correspondentwho do not know the original of thename, though it is the one Maori wordwith which we are all familiar. Weknow it means a European, and let thematter go at that, which is perhapsjust as well, for at the best thename isnot flattering. We have been told that |when first the white man burst on theIbrown man's astonished gaze the latter Ithought he was a "god," and so on. It;was very flattering, of course, and ipossibly the Maori was too polite todisabuse our ancestors of their mi-stake.The Maori is really a brown Irishmanand has the same innate desire to pleasethe person he is addressing.
Mr. Graham says the word "pakeha" or"pakchakeha" means flotsam, or drift-wood; something that has drifted to thebeach from the sea; something that haabeen cast ashore. And when youremember the white man's advent fromout of the spa the name is singularlyapt: the Maori was an artist in nomen-clature. There is another Maori wordused for foreigners generally, and it iseven less dignified than the one whichlikens us to something washed up by thetide. This word is "maitaitai," whichmeans food that comes from the sea. AMaori would call shell-fish such as|cockles, whelks, "maitaitai'-—in fact all|the sea food not important enough to bedignified by the name of "fish." Ihis"maitaitai" is more than a little con-temptuous when applied to a humanbeinjr. and might be commonly heardapplied to an opponent in wordy war-fare Mr. Graham points out that theword used by the rrct of Polynesia forthe European is "papalangi," whichmeans people that have come forth fromthe skies, or from the horizon in tliedistance.
The Blue-eyed Fairies.Some people arc under the impression
that there is some connection betweenthe name pakcha and patupaiarehe thelatter bein? the name for the Maorifairies, who figure so picturesquely inMaori folk lore. Mr. Ciraham, however,says there is no connection -whatever.In an interesting fragment written by
I the famous John White, and communi-cated to the "Polynesian Society Jour-nal" by Mr. Graham, there are somereferences to the patupaiarehe, whichprobably account for the manner inwhich some people persist in confusingthe whiteman with the fairy people of•the Maori. The fairies spent most oftheir time singing and dancing, andplaying the short three-holed flute, audon the approach of human beings theywould vanish, and leave not a tracebehind. The little folk seemed to enjoythemselves most on foggy mornings, butthey were invisible ill mid-day light.A favourite haunt of theirs was theHokianga river; and Moehau, the high-est point of the Coromandel peninsula,which can be. seen from Auckland wasanother spot which they favoured.
"Soon after the Europeans came toNew Zealand," whites Mr. White, "theselittLi people disappeared. It is saidthat in olden times the West Coast andall the way into the interior to Taupowas occupied by these people, and theyalso lived on the tops of the mountains.They wore white garments and hadsoft-flowing hair; were not tatooed likethe Maori: and carried their .childrenin their arms, not like the Maori on;the back. At times they would take a;Maori woman and make her the wife\of some one of their people, and the,children would bo called. "Konako." JThese children had very light, soft,straight hair,. and blue eyes. Theycould see or look in the full blaze of tliesun."
Traces of Marurwi.In forwarding this paper to the
"Polynesian Journal" Mr. Graham gavesome detail*'of an expedition he madeto the ridges of the Moehau ranges with .a noted old Maorinamed Hapi te Pataka.|Mr. Graham saw "numerous traces ofancient human habitations in the formof earthworks, pits, stone walls, etc. ,These were generally attributed to theNgati-Huarere (descendants of Huarere, |i the son of Tamali-Kapua. of the AnuvnCanoe), but no doubt, ns Hapi asserted,these people were really the very ancient,aboriginals of the Maruiwi stock, who in .later times came under the dominance of ■the later Arawa immigrants of 1350.!A.D. While on these ranges we saw anumber of the small native frogs whichIlayii said were the "mokai." or pet-3, of ,the Patu-paiarehe, and acted as sentriesfor their masters. Hapi sang for mc .several of the watch-songs said to have jbeen sung by the Patu-paiarehe. and lie ,also sang"some of the tunes they playedon the putorino (flute). He insistedthat the Patu-paiarehe taught the Maorishow to p'.ay this instrument." j
These "littlepeople" of the Maori were ■quite as good-natured'asKipling's friendPuck of Pook's Hill, and, while it wouldbe very flattering to our vanity to thinkthat the Maoris had identified the white jman with them, the facts are againstsuch a theory. 11l the eyesof the Maorithe first white men were simply drift-1wood, something washed uu on thebeach.

ALLEGED COMBINE.
FLOUR MILLING CASE.
THE TENTH DAY.(By Telegraph.—Press Association.!
DUNEDIN, this day.The tenth day of the flour milling
case promises to be the last. At theconclusion of Mr. Skerrett's addressMessrs. Solomon and Myers will addressthe Court, Mr. Adams replying for theCrown.
Mr. Skcrrett, continuing his address,stated that it was no part of Dis-tributors' scheme to remove the rightto choose brands of flour, but therewere periods when it was impossible tosupply the brands ordered, when thesewere rationed. Generally speaking,there were difficulties in 1923, whichdisappeared in 1924. Dunedin andInvercargill bakers obstinately refusedto give orders in time to allow alloca-tions to be made. By ordering afterthe 25th of the month these bakerswere able to obtain two months" credit.Difficulties arose mainly through acci-dental temporary defects, after whichthe flours complained about all regaineda high position on the market.
Mr. Solomon, addressing the Court,quoted judgments in support of theargument that the raising of prices wasnot necessarily pernicious if an impor-tant industry was thereby preserved inthe interests of the public. Ho contendedthat a contract was reasonably neces-sary for the protection of millers andthe milling trade, and submitted thatthe scheme originated with the concur-rence, even at the suggestion, of bakers:that it started even with the knowledgeand tacit approval of the Government.Distributors had made possible an equaldistribution of flour. The inconveniencescaused were accidental and not incidentalto the scheme. The formation of Dis-tributors overcame a grave menace tothe flour wheat growing industries, and Ihad conferred a. national advantage. !Mr. Myers said millers if they liked jcould have madea merger, like breweries, Iand which would have had all the ad-vantages to millers of the present sys-tem, but would have resulted in greatdisadvantage to the public, with whichthe latter must have put up. For exam-file, in event of a merger, all the mills'outputs would have borne the samebrand. So long as the duty existed jon wheat, distribution would be of great Iadvantage in maintaining the essentialwheat growing industry.

"WITHIN THE LAW."DRINKING XX HOTELS.
STATEMENT BY POLICE.
Some important remarks were madeby Senior Sergeant Rawk at the PoliceCourt this morning as a result ofapplication being made for an adjourn-ment of cases against a local hotellicensee for after-hour tradin".Fredrick James Sands was" chargedwith supplying liquor toa person underthe age of 21, and also with after-hourtrading (four charges). A number ofmen were also charged .with, beingfound on licensed premises after hours.
Mr. McVeagh, who appeared for thelicensee, asked that the cases be ad-journed for a fortnight, but SeniorSergeant Rawlc objected to that time,and suggested one week's adjournment."In conjunction with the charges
against Sands for breaches of theLicensing- Act, there are two informa-tions on October 18, and three informa-tions on October 31," said the seniorsergeant. 'The reasons for my objec-tion are that another licensee will becharged with three breaches, whichwill take considerable time to dealwith. Further, as your Worship knows,the facilities for "afterhour" tradingunder the existing licensinj laws—thekeeping of an "alleged" bed book toenter the names of persons who cometo the hotel to drink, and the profes-sional 'boarder,' whose part it is to en-tertain •guests,' both of which conditions,unless disproved, are held to be withinthe law—make it undesirable to havethe cases adjourned for any periodlonger than is actually necessary. Theniherc is the further fact that*in therecent murder trial of Shutes the juryadded a rider relative to the crimebeing due to the facilities (riven toobtain drink, and any further delaywill suggest that tlie police arc onlynow moving in the matter of institut-ing proceedings, whereas- they havebeen active in the matter of the sup-pression of after-hours trading at alltimes. The present prosecutions wereinstituted prior to such a rider beingframed by tlie jury.', concluded SeniorSergeant Rawle.
Mr. Poyuton: It is over .10 yearssince Mr. Justice Richmond calledattention to the defect in the licensinglaws, and it has not yet been remedied.
The magistrate adjourned the casesuntil to-day week.

LOST MERIDIAN.
SEARCH COSTS £3000.
For several years the Governmentsof the Commonwealth, South Australiaand West Australia have been endea-vouring to locate the exact position ofmeridiau 129.
The search is important, as the loca-tion determines the border betweenWestern Australia and South Australiaand Western Australia and the NorthernTerritory. Its direct use lies in thedetermination of the boundaries of hun-dreds of large, grazing leases.
The Governments have spent about£2000 in the work. This year £634
has been set aside on the Federal Esti-mates, and the other two States willspend a similar sum between them.
The spots at which the meridian willterminate at each coastline have beenfixed by Greenwich by wireless. Theline remains to be marked across thecontinent.
It is expected tlsat the marking ofthe imaginary line across the conti-nent will cause a considerable readjust-ment of the map.
The work is expected to be completedthis year.

IN DARKEST RUSSIA.DYING CITY OF LENINGRAD.
GRASS-GROWN STREETS.
SHUT FACTORIES AND DESERTEDQUAYS.
After Moscow—Leningrad. I knewLeningrad well (or St. Petersburg, asit was called) in its days of pros-perity.
In moving on from Moscow I wasnaturally curious to see what change jSoviet rnle had imposed on the old,capital—for the seat of government hasbeen shifted from the -banks of the,Neva to Moscow (says the "DailyChronicle's" special correspondent nowin Russia).
The contrast between Moscow andLeningrad was always marked, }l°s- iwith its air of "the big village." sotypical of Russian disorderliness;Leningrad, an Imperial capital withbroad streets and characteristic West-ern aspect.
But to-day the contrast between thetwo cities is still more striking; for itis the contrast between life and deathitself. Leningrad is a dying city.Never did I feel so melancholy asduring my stay there.
Life was never too happy in Russia.But nevertheless it was always pos-sible to extract some delight from the|mere contemplation of Leningrad'sstylish beauty.
No city in the world contains moreeighteenth or early nineteenth centuryarchitecture, or can show more roman-tic gardens of the same epoch whereinare graceful pavilions set on columns.How well its slender golden spires andByzantine domes fit into this lyric set-ting.
And then there ia the Neva—a riverof magnificent decorative qualities andsurely the broadest and handsomest onwhich a capital ever stood. And thecanals! But there must he an end toenthusiasm!
To-day Leningrad reminds one of abeautiful woman suffering from neg-lect. It is still beautiful, very beauti-ful ; but so hopelessly and inexpressiblysad.
City of Darkness.As one approaches the city in the
train one sees lines of deserted fac-tories with smokeless chimneys.
The Neva, which at this time of thorear was always so animated with,craft, is now almost deserted; a fewbroken and water-logged barges arc'moored at its wharves, a sunkensteamerlies in the fairway; the palaces on itsquays are empty and in decay; the'darknees over the scene is almost unre-lieved, and one sees only silhouettes.
Elsewhere are many deserted build-ings, and hundreds of buildings are inruins; in some parts of the city onemight imagine that an earthquakehad taken place; skeletons of housesand heaps of debris everywhere.
The centre of tbc city suffered little,and already has returned to somethinglike a normal aspect; thai is to say.most of the shops are open, and theirwindows are filled with the customaryarray of articles displayed in a Euro-pean city.
But even here rows of shops maystill be seen closed and shuttered-in;in theMorskaya forexample, whichwasnoted for its jewellers' shops, andwhich was Leningrad's smartest shop-ping street.Silent Streets.
Grass may be seen growing not onlyin the streets of the outlying districts,but also in some of those in theicentre. The square of the Kazan!Cathedral, adjacent to the Nevsky,'looks quite green; it might be thesquare of some ancient cathedral town.At one time botanists discovered in:the heart of the city plant life such asis Ottly found growing in wild coun-tries.The traffic has diminished and thestreets are silent. It the old days one jhad to walk warily when crossing the |
Jvevsky and other main streets; the'traffic was not thick, it is true, but it:was swiftly-moving, and the danger ofbeing run over by some smart equippagedrawn by high-stepping horses was con-siderable.To-day one can stroll at leisure acrossthe Nevsky, and the "traffic," like thecrowd in the streets, looks shabby. The
roads in Moscow were bad, but inLeningrad they are far worse—full ofgreat cavities. In the black days of thoRevolution the wooden blocks werepulled up and plundered for firewood.In the daytime the streets in thecentre are animated enough; theNevsky. for example, is almost as 'crowded as it used to be. But it is adifferent crowd; no military uniforms
and few elegantly-dressed women. Theproletarians have taken full possession Iof the city; arm in arm, they paradeup and down the streets, sometimes sixor seven in a row. They jostle oneanother, talk and laugh "loudly. andsometimes sing revolutionary songs.
The women have abandoned thepeasant shawl and taken to cheap hats.High heels are in fashion, and paintedfaces more common than in formerIday».
The New "Aristocrats."Ko longer is the city divided into j
fashionable quarters and owrking-classjquarters, for proletarians are dist.ri- Jbuted everywhere. I went with a dis- Jpossessed bourgeois companion to viewhis old house in the once aristocraticstreet of Karnmenistrorsky; on thepavement outside children were playingami scTe.aming. while on the steps atflic entrance their parents sat andtalked: from the windows above gos-siping heads protruded, and red flagsIwere suspended. In the rooms behind jone could see washing hanging up.
et there are streets in Leningrad,and not far from the centre, ton. so stilland peaceful as to remind one of countrylanes. .. . And the canals which runthrough the heart of the city and whichgive it an almost Venetian atmosphere|are quite deserted. At nijrht one feels jsad and strange (and a little nervous) jwandering through street-; that once !weri» full of life but art- now dark and Iempty. j

The magistrate, in giving judgment forplaintiff, said the case for the plaintiff didnot rely upon the evidence of Thomasalone, and perhaps it was fortunate [orhim that it dii not. The onus was onHandley to show that the horse was reallybis. There was no doubt that the horsewas not in the bill of sain, and if defendantwas prepared to acrept a loose deseriptioasuch as was obtained in the Ml! of sale hedeserved to suffer. The plaintiff was ea-titled to the horse, but he conM not secthat £10 damages had been suffered in s>short a time: and. further, plaintiff totallowed defendant .to remove the berse.Judgment would bo in favour of plaintitfor possession, or in lieu of that £23 10/.

ALMOST A RECORD.
NIXETY-SEVEN BILLS PASSED.
in.r Telegraph.—Parliamentary Keporter.)WELLINGTON7, Thursday.
The Premier described the session justclosed as decidedly arduous. He hadnever seen such heavy stress of work inthe Law Drafting office and such hugepiles of printed documents. The num-ber of biils passed was !>7, which musthe almost a record. "It has been afruitful session," he said, "but whetherpeople who consume this legislativefruit will lie satisfied is quite anothermatter." He predicted another heavysession next year.
Mr. T. M. Wilford, who joined in felici-tations, agreed with the Premier regard-ing the trying nature of the session.
Mr. 11. E. Holland, on the same theme,expressed a hope that some day Parlia-ment would alter its working hours,berause the strain of the present systemwas heavier on the legislative stafftlmn on members.
Mr. Witty (Riccarton) raised heartylauiihter when he joined in the valedic-tory speeches, "as a member of theparty that dominates Parliament, theIndependent party."
Hon. C. K. Statiiain. in acknowledgingreferences to the Chair, said he knewmembers on occasions felt he had beenstern and unrclentlcss in administeringthe Standing Orders as he found them.At t!ic same time he had enjoyed flashesof humour, and again and again hewould have been very glad to have saida word or two on the subject. (Laugh-ter.) He felt very proud of the factthat, desnite the "strenuous nature of«omo of the discussion, there had neverbeen disorder.
The final motion to adjourn was chal-lenged, but was carried by a narrowmargin.

CARRIER'S FAILURE.
; LOSSES ON CONTRACTS.OWNED A STEEPLECHASER.
COMPANY'S LIABILITY.
A largely attended meeting of credi-tors in the bankrupt estate of BruceJlanukau Cunningham, carrier, of One-
hunga, was held yesterday. Mr. \V. S.Fisher, Official Assignee, presiding. Mr.G. A. Finlay represented the bankrupt.Mr. A. M. Gould the petitioning creditor,and Messrs. Scantlebury, Mervyn Adamsand Harold Enner appeared for variouscreditor?.
The schedule showed owing to unse-cured creditors £2,539 18/2, and securedcreditors £227 9/, for which securityestimated to be worth £850 was given.This estimated surplus of £622 11/con-stituted practically the only asset.
Bankrupt is his sworn statement saidthat he had been carrying on business ascarrier and contractor for the past 20years. Until 1915 he did well, and inthat year bought out his brother forf 1500, to be paid by instalments. In1920 lie sold a half share in the businessfor £1425. A limited liability companywas formed, one share being allotted to
!a third person. The capital was fixedat £2850. In 1023 the partner retiredfrom the business. Witness agTeed totake over a liability of £1000, and paythe partner £2000.' At the end of 1023he took some road making contracts, onwhich he lost about £1000. A meetingof his creditors resulted in his goinginto voluntary liquidation. Hex was con-vinced that liad the company been car-ried on, and he not forced into bank-ruptcy, the position would have beenmuch more satisfactory.
Mr. Kirk, liquidator to the company,explained he was pressed by creditors totako these proceedings. The liabilitiesof the company were still coming in. AtMay 31 the total stood at £4371.
Mr. Fisher asked what the estate ofthe company was likely to pay?
Mr. Kirk: By present indications, Idon't think there will be any dividend.
Bankrupt stated he had been cartingand contractingever since he left school.Ke kept books in a roujh way before hehad an accountant, but wae alwaysquite correct. When he bought out hisbrother, Mr. G. W. Hutchison, account-ant, was auditor. The amount was fixedon tl •• valuation of the plant. Therewere no liabilities at that time. Whenthe company was formed the arrange-ment as to the amount paid in wasjudged from the balance sheet. When thepartner retired from the business, wit-ness perhaps paid too much. Expensesin connection with training horses heconsidered to be private debts.
Mr. Fisher: Has there not been a bigleakage apart from the horses?
Bankrupt said he never found any.The men's charges for overtime wereheavy. The motor repairs ran to £35per week for six months. He only drew.£6 10/ per week out of the company. Heprobably drew nother £100 a year inaddition. Against that he was returningmoney to the company. He had alwaysmade money out of any horses he had.
By Mr. Gould: All the contracts weretaken in the name of Cunningham,Ltd. He had no record of his privateexpenditure on the contracts.
Mr. Gould: The loss on the contractsfell on the company.<Mr. F. Fitt said he always opposedprivate assignments of estates. Hebelieved better results were obtainedby the Official Assignee. He thoughtassets in this estate would have realisedmore if sold under the hammer.
Mr. Finlay pointed out that the bank-rupt had paid into the company £025 hewon on one of the horses, Rafferty.
The mooting was adjourned until 11a.m. on Wednesday, the 19th inst.
STRAPHANGING ON RACETRAINS.
FAULT OF RACEGOERS.
KU3HING THE EARLY TRAINS.Many racegoers who attended the
Wa-ikato Hunt Club's races at Te Rapaon Labour Day had to put up with theinconvenience of standing all the wayIfrom Auckland owing to the seating ajc-
jcommodation on the train of twentycarriages ibeing insufficient. It was notsurprising therefore that some hard com-ment should Ibe levelled at the RailwaysDepartment and the remarks were any-thing but complimentary.
As the Hamilton Racing Club's meet-ing will open on Saturday next inquirieswere made this morning of the TrafficManager to ascertain whether there wasany possibility of the position which pre-vailed on LabourDay occuringagain. Mr.Adams replied that the inconvenience topassengers on Labour Day was not alto-gether the fault of the Department. Thatday was a holiday, t>ut even makingjall allowance for that, the number ofracegoers who went from Auckland far
'exceeded expectations. The Departmentanticipated a big crowd and put on twotrains, the second train, a non-stop,'comprising twenty carriages which isthe maximum for passenger traffic ifsufficient speed is to obtain to reachthe course in time. Aeain it was pointedout that on the return trip the Depart-ment ran three trains, but the crowdjwouid not patronise the third, and sim-ply rushed the first and second, with thejresult that both these were overcrowded,while the third was half empty. Undersuch circumstances it was impossiblew regulate the crowd. However, it wasthe first occasion that a meeting hadbeen held at Te Rapa, where, by theway, there is only a single line and nosiding,but in bhe future the Departmentwill arrange to run three trains from»hn w ? and return «° that theresnouid be no inconvenience and wantor seating accommodation. On Saturdaynext two trains are to leave Auokland,»ttt as Saturday is not a public holiday'; IS J,o} anticipated both trains wilt becrowded.

A PLUCKY WOMAN.THIEF HAS ROUGH TIME.
GETS A THRASHING.
THEN ARRESTED.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)SYDNEY, October 31.
A woman in defence of her o\vn pro-perty is something to fear. As a ruleill such circumstances she becomespossessed of more than ordinarystrength. ' j
This was demonstrated forcibly to a'thief at Mosman yesterday, and he wagso crestfallen when the police arrivedthat they remarked it seemed a pity toarrest him.
Mrs. Wiltsl "••••, of Jlandalong Road,Mosman, left 1..r home at 11 a.m. andIwent into the city. She returned at4 p.m., and found that the placo hadbeen ransacked. Unlike most womenshe started to look for the culprit.
In the front bedroom she saw a manattempting to hide under a bed. His legswere showing from under the bedclothes, |however, and without any hesitationMrs. Wiltshire, who is only a slightwoman, dragged him out ignominiously. jI She Bested Him.
He showed fight at first, but realisingthat the first blow always has thegreatest psychological effort, Mrs. Wilt- ,shire pot in early too. nnd before the■thief had time to retaliate she hadbested him in workmanlike style.
Grasping him by the wrists, sheordered him to stand up, telling him,with menaces, that if he attempted toescape she would deal with him further.
Then she. screamed for assistance, and jMrs. Allen, who lives next door, ran inand found Mrs. Wiltshire in control ofthe situation. The latter told her neigh-bour to telephone the police, statingthat she would be nble to handle theman in the meantime.
Mrs. Allen informed the police, nnd ,a sergeant and constable commandeereda motor ear and rushed to th-> place, aioiirney of more thnn half a mile, withinthree minutes. They found the manthoroughly cowed, and experienced nodifficulty in taking him to the policestation, where he was charged withbreaking and entering.
Not Even Ruffled.Mrs. WilUhirn wns not. oven ruffled.
When interviewed nfter the man had?nnc she treated the episode in a
*ter-of-fact manner."He pave mc no trmiHlr nt all." shetold the interviewer, "because I fright-
ened him properly nt the start. WhenI stood him up, I just hunjr on to hiswrists and screamed for assistance. Ithink he suffered most."
And. aemrdinfr to the police, he did.He wns the most crestfallm prisonerthey state they have ever taken intocupfody.
His arrest is expected <o have far-reaching results, for the Mosman ,]'«,-triet hns suffered recently from the Ioperations of a thief who "wntehp* ent-�as-es until he sees that the residentsIhave pone, nnd then ransacks the place'at his leisure. I

Mason Allard (chairman)
told shareholders in Sydney, last week,that the directors of the company, uponreceipt of full information from NewZealand, would take steps to assert thecompany's claim.
"As it appears to us at present," saidMr. Allard, "the New Zealand Govern-ment has made a most extraordinarydeparture from the practice and lawof nations in regard to patent rights,and the encouragement and protection ofthe inventor.
"It is one thing," continued Mr.Allard, "to negotiate for a price forthe sale of a right to use our patent,an.d quite another to establish a claimand figure for compensation for depriva-tion of our property. The patenteehae thrust upon him the probability oflong and costly proceedings, which do'not conduce to encouragementto researchand invention. i

ALWAYS A WRANGLE.THE LICENSING QUESTION.
REPORT AND EVIDENCE.
NOT TO BE PRINTED.(Bj- Telegraph. —Special to "Star.')
WELLINGTON, Thursday.The Premier had to plead with thettouse of Representatives during the>ast hours of the session not to havea wrangle when members were hopin"to depart peacefully. The contentioussubject was the licensing legislation. Aquestion had arisen regarding theprinting of the Licensing Committee's
■eport. Mr. Hockly (the chairman)agreed to a motion to print the report,nut declined a suggestion from Mr.leitt to print the evidence, as, in hisopinion, the cost of printing such alarge volume of evidence was unwar-ranted. Mr. iaitt retorted that thecommittee was composed of a largemajority opposed to temperance re-form, and it would only be fair to printthe evidence submitted to them, asalready a large section of the com-munity was blaming the Premier forthe business. It would not be fair topnnt the report alone, as it was soone-sided.
Mr. Pcrrello, a member of the com-mittee, strongly protested against theinsinuation of the member for Christ-church North. He was, he said, infavour of temperance reform, thoughpossibly not on the same lines as thecommittee's critic.
"I am surprised th<> other side <lonot realise it wou'il be the. sportingthing to allow both sides to be pre-sented," said Mr. McCombs, who moved«n amendment, "That the evidence beprinted. ■'
"1 urn vc#-- sorrj- this has been men-tioned," remarked'Mr. Massey. "Herewe are at the last moment of the ses-sion, when we are lookiim forward todeparting with goodwill, but we arc in!i fair way to developing a wretchedwrangle. We had better drop thewhole thing."
In a general discussion and privateexchanses which followed, the Hon. .7.G. Coatcs mentioned that the evidenceof the committee filled 2000 folios.Mr. Isitt, on hearing this, said hewas anxious for fair play, and mustadmit that he could not justify the
heavy expenditure involved in printingso much evidence. The best thingwould be to adjourn the discussion.
Mr. McCombs opposed this motion,as it would mean dropping the print-ing of both the report and the evidence.However, he secured only 14 votes,while 38 members voted to drop thewhole business by adjourning the dis- fcussion. j
BANKRUPT IN TROUBLE.
HIS SOBRIETY QUESTIONED.
REPORTED FOR " CONTEMPT."
(By Telesrapb.—Own Correspondent.)
WHAXGAREI, Thursday.An examination in bankruptcy of
James Boothman, of Kamo, which waspet down for hearing at the office of theDeputy-Official Assignee, Mr. E. P. Ram-sey, this morning had an abrupt termin-ation. There were about half a dozencreditors present when Mr- Boothman,Ifor whom Mr. Connell was retained,made his appearance. After a fewquestions by the Deputy-OfficialAssigneeto bankrupt, the former asked thecreditors present if they were preparedto go on, as it appeared that bankruptwas not in a condition to answer ques-tions satisfactorily. Bankrupt pro-
Itested, but was promptly ordered to pitdown. Mr. \V. Reynolds (one of thecreditors) expressed agreement with theassignee, being of opinion thatbankrupt could not give the meetingsatisfactory information. He movedthat the meeting of creditors consideredthat Boothman was not in a fit conditionto answer questions relative to his bank-ruptcy, as he had every appearance ofbeing under the influence of liquor. Mr.A. Pollock seconded the motion, whichwas carried- The Deputy-OfficialAssignee then adjourned the meeting forseven days, giying Boothman due noticethat he would report him for contemptof court. I
Bankrupt's file showed that he hadbeen a contractor. There was anapproximate defiiency of £340 lfl/3.Stock in trade was set down at valua-tion only, other assets being book debtsfor £170, the estimated value of whichwas nil.

WILSON'S PORTLAND CEMENTCOMPANY.i .
THE WARKWORTH PLANT.TO CLOSE DOWN THIS MONTH.
I SIXTY ESMPLOYEBS AFFECTED.In so far as the manufacture ofcement
is concerned the Warkworth plant ofWilson's Portland Cement Company willclose down at the end of the presentmonth. This decision was dciinitelvdecided upon 'by the directors of thecompany during the week.The reason for the clo-sing down of theWarkworth works is given by Mr. S.Reid general manager for, the company,Mho states that prior to the adventof theDominion Portland Cement CompanyLtd who erecte<l p]ant at I>or.rianJ-d-(Uhangarei County), there were fourcompanies operating in New Zealand,Ttii «- .

The Z\T*d C° ntrol Of distributionI ... shortage was dne solely to<le works being unable to secureadequate supplies of coal for cementmanufacture, owing to a -go ,"™5policy in the coal mining industry.The year 1020might be termed the boom>ear ln cement, but the sudden collapseearly ,„ 1021 resulted in the closingdown of the Golden Bay plant for two'years. During the last two years the'plant at Limestone Island has been Iremoved to the mainland and installed!at Portland, and this plant is now!actually in operation. The result is(hen that Wilson's CS.Z.) PortlandCement, Ltd., have once again their threeplants in operation, viz, Portland plant,Limestone Island plant, re-crectcd atPortland, and Warkworth plant.
"As the demand can easily be suppliedfrom Portland alone, the company isforced to close down its works at \Vark-worth in so far as the manufacture ofcement is concerned. The making ofhydraulic and other limes will continueas formerly, but the closing down willaffect some GO employees. No doubt em-ployment can be found for some of thesemen at Portland, but for all.

THE BLIND AT WORK.
JUBILEE INSTITUTE FAIR.The .lirbilee Institute extends a hearty
! invitation to -Auckland at larg« tovisit the institute this evening andto-morrow afternoon in order tosee for itself a notable work whichhas been going on quietly in ourmidst for many years. Founded thirty-five years ago this Samaritan establish-ment has equipped for their difficulttask in life many hundred Mind peoplefrom all parts of the Dominion, a won-derful achievement.
The institute is dependent upon thegenerosity of the public for the good
I work it does; and it is well that theyshould have this opportunity of inspect-ing it. Nearly 100 Wind people are nowthere, 'besides which it is rendering use-ful service andgiving financialassistanceto many blind people in other provinces.
Extension, however, is still the neces-sity of the moment, for the instituteis not yet able to give the assistancestill required by a large proportion of
■ the needy blind. The buildings particu-larly are inadequate.I At the fair much of the beautifulwork, manufactured with such deftnessby the blind, will ibe exposed for sale.Produce, s-weets and other goods of tv.Iwizaar nature will Ik> sold for the benefitiof the funds; and visitors will find manyamusing, and interesting attractionsaibout the institute buildings andgrounds. Rev. E. Chitty is giving orgaarecitals both afternoons; the ArtilleryBand will be present on Saturday, andafternoon tea. ices and so on are beingprovided by the Ladies' Committee.

DANGEROUS MACHINE-GUNPRACTICE.
(To the Editor.)Sir.—May I draw your attention to
the fact that considerable annoyance,to say nothing of the danger to lifeand. limb to the men who do the marKlngin the butts, is caused to members ofrifle clubs who journey to Penroserange on Saturday afternoons for alittle clean sport ' and amusement, bymachine guns firing on the targetsinstead of at the iron plates speciallyprovided for their benefit. This dan-gerous practice occurs very frequently,and last Saturday one ma'rkcr had 2l>'machine gun shots through his targetand a bullet was found in the targetbouse in the rear of the butts.

PROTESTANTISM.(To the Editor.!
•Sir,—Having read two letters underthe above heading, one signed "Church-man," and .the other "A Catholic(Koman), I would like very much toreply to them both. In the'first place"Churchman" is quite correct when he
■says: "Apparently it only needs aformal resolution to complete thetransfer of millions in America and in'British possessions, to the Roman'Catholic Church." Not only is this1apparent, but (in my opinion) it will]become an established fact within thenext few years, and those so-called'Protestants, who are in favour of such;a course are not true Protestants byany means. To •Catholic (Roman)"might I add that he s quite correct whenIhe says: "The Catholic Church looks,upon the Mass as its very centre and Ifocus of its faith." Slight I* tell him thisIalso, that from what I have been told !and from what I have read, the EnglishChurch is, and always has been the
daughter of the Church of Rome.—l ametc.. FREEDOM.
(To tUe Editor.)Sir,—When I wrote to you on this
subject two weeks ago, my sole ohject 'was to show that many people calling'themselves Protestants had declaredjthemselves to be really Romanists, and |I adduced facts that could hear no otherIinterpretation. I had a faiiit hope that!I might shame Home of these people!into explaining thrir flagrant ineon-!sistency, but so far the only comment inreply comes from a correspondentsigning himself "A Catholic (Roman)."!who with a strange perversity of visionsees in my letter something "vitriolic',and a '"very evident bias" againstRomanism. He does not attempt toshow that I irsed vitriolic language orexpressed vitriolic opinions. He finds"bias"' in my failure to recognise that jthe sacrifice of the Mass is "the verycentre and focus"' of the RomanICatholic faith, and in my statement thatprayers to the Virgin, and adoration ofher and other saints, are Romanistpractices. There is no "bias" evidentIhere. There may be slight inaccuracy.I and I shall be glad to be correctedauthoritatively; but I decline to accept'the word of an anonymous writer who iproies=ei to be a Roman Catholic. Inray experience of church-goers, sit lea-it00 per cent arc quite incapable ofunderstanding or defining the articles offaith of their particular denomination.
I F shall say no more on this point, forI I have not, and never had, the leastI desire to enter into theological con-; troversy. The subject of my letter wasto emphasise the 'significance of certainundoubted facts. There has been noattempt either to question my facts, orto show any fallacy in my deductionsfrom these facts. Let 'my RomanCatholic friend stick to the mainquestion, and cease trying to side-trackthe discussion into the realm oftheology. He haa made his protest andshown himself Protestant in spirit—atruer Protestant than the flabbyEpiscopalians to whose attitude anddesires I drew attention. They areRomanist in spirit, but have not thecandour and consistency to "go over."There is more hope for the RomanCatholic Protestant than for the non-protesting Protestants, who appear tohave relinquished "the ri»ht of privatejudgment.""—l am, etc..I CHURCHMAN.

MASSEYISM UNMASKED.
(To the Editor.)Sir,—The Hon. J. A. Hunan struck a'warning note last week in the Housewhich citizens should well ponder over.The Massey government will be known
in future history as the most recklessborrowing and squandering governmentthis country has had the misfortune toendure. It has borrowed and squan-dered in the five last years since thewar £74,000,000 with little result andadvantage to the country in the expendi-ture of this huge sum. From the foun-dations of the colony to l<ll2. when theMassey government came into office, aperiod of about 70 years, all previousgovernments bad borrowed only£84.000.000 with wonderful results.Citizens have only to cast their mindsback to 1012 and think of the then rail-roads, rolling stock, railway building's,the great list of State buildings in Wel-lington, and in all the cities of NewZealand—the post offices and telegraphbuildings, the public schools, the thous-ands of bridges and thousands of roadsjmade throughout the country. Thesanatoriums, wharfs, etc., that the£54.000.000 produced. This includesIadvances to settlers and workers as well.IThe past five years since Mr. Masseyitook over the portfolio of Finance hasJseen the colossal borrowing ofi£74.000.000. a sum npproaching thejtotal borrowings of all previous govern-jments. Citizens may well ask where hasit gone. Have we doubled our publicbuildings, railway mileage, rolling wtock,public schools, bridges, etc., this lastfive years? Can the Minister of Financejustify his outrageous borrowing policywhen we analyse the national debt helins created in so bhort a period,with the public works thatmoney should have produced? TheGovernment have simply squanderedmillions wholesale with little or noadvantage to the development of thecountry, whereas Mr. Massey as leaderof the opposition shouted from the housetops against public borrowing." Peo-ple arc feeling the ill effects of thisfrenzied finance, but do not realise thedisastrous results this financial insan-ity in the near future will work. Thishuge millstone i-.s bung round our necksand that of our children and their chil-dren for years to come, with its intoler-able burden of taxation attached to it,with very little increase in the nationalincome as a result of its expenditure.Parliament is now closing and has notdared to discuss seriously one import-ant question affecting public finance ortaxation on the ground that these ques-tions might be contentious, and one ortwo turncoats might leave the Masseycamp and wreck the Government. Howlong are these frenzied financiers goingto be allowed to keep this national farcegoing? Why have they not discussed howthey are going to meet the £30,006,000of national debt falling due this yearand next, and the £47,000,000 failingdue during the four following years?Has all intelligent outlook and politicalinstinct gone from the people?

Yes. that is absurd.

THE IRISH BOUNDARY.(To the Editor.)
Sir,—The Irish Free State is claimingthe whole of the counties of Tyroneand Fermanagh, large (portions of t hocounties of Armagh, Down and T rlon-clerry and the borough of LondonderryCity. The proportion of Protestant'sand Unionists in Tyrone and Fermanaghis far larger than the proportion IjfCatholics and Nationalists in the otherthree counties. I believe that in Tyrone-the proportion of Protestants is as lf>to 61, und in Fermanagh as At to 5.">.In Armagh, Down, and Londonderry tbelieve the Catholics are only about,one-third of the. population. If" lliis isso, it seems unfair that the Free. Stateshould claim the whole of (wo mainlyNationalist counties, and also largeportions of three counties which arcfar more Unionist than the aforesaidtwo counties are Nationalist. TheNorthern Ireland Government are surelyentitled to considerable areas ofFermanagh and Tyrone, or failing this,to the whole of Armagh, Down, andLondonderry.
From 188.) to the creation of the Free■Slate Tyrone has always had at least,one Unionist member, and from ]Ki>2onwards North Fermanagh lias beenconsistently Unionist. Londonderry Citywas Unionist in 188.1, from 1592 to1R0.5, and from 1900, to, I think, I'JI-J.The majorities in this city have alwaysbeen small, and it seems hardly rightto tear this city away from the"count vof which it is the capital, merely onthe strength of a fluctuating majorityof two or three hundred votes. Moreoverthe Act founding the Free State,expressly lays down that NorthernIreland shall consist of the counties ofAntrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh,Londonderry, and Tyrone, together withthe parliamentary boroughs of London-derry and Belfast. The legislationre the Boundary Commission issubject to this Act, and it vnutclseem that the commission wouldhave no power to exclude fromNorthern Ireland two whole countiesand one parliamentary borough, which itis expressly stated shall form part ofNorthern Ireland. It should also lieremembered that the Boundary Com-mission is required (o be guided bygeographical and other considerations.It is not a question of a mere countingof heads.—l am etc., UNIONIST.
THE ART GALLERY.
(To the Editor.!Sir,—Was Mr. Fisher homesick when
he criticised Auckland's pictures in suchdrastic vein? Or perhaps he dwelt toolong on some of the ''horrors'' that areto bo found among them—us ill everyother public collection—and thereafter"saw red." But in any case his querulousand somewhat irritating remarks, comp-
ared with the calm and ripe opinionsof that well-known authority on artmatters. Captain Shirley Falcke, do notcarry much weight. Captain Falckevisited the gallery n few months ago,and was favourably impressed. He con-gratulated the city on such a gallery,and expressed general appreciation forthe contents. On the other hand, Mr.Fisher says that only four of the pic-tures are good, and by inference damn 3the rest of them as effectually as HireCardinal anathematized the Jackdaw ofRheims. Now, it is "All Lombard Streetto a China orange" that the expert con-noisseur is right and the English pro-vincial art master wrong.
When the writer first saw the collec-tion a few years ago he was surprisedand delighted to find such a good andrepresentative show in a city not ]00years old and 12.000 miles from Home.It was apparent to him that energy,foresight, and enthusiasm had beeii atwork, and had formed a splendidnucleus for future development. More-over, for those not too busy in findingfault, or obsessed by "get perfectionquick" ideas, there, is ample promise thatin time New Zealand artists will evolvea school of their own, particularly whenthey can getrid of their predilection forKuropean subjects and stick more totheir own country for inspiration.
Of late in Auckland we have beentreated to a lot of talk about art idealsand standards. The main object of thfiauthors of these highly-cultured effu-sions seems to be to make others realisewhat mere worms they are as regardsart in general and the city pictures inparticular.

Thenthe wind changed and tire vessel veeredto and fro across Bass Strait. OnSeptember 10 she. was still off EastSi<»er Island, near Flinders Island, andmaking water.
Kvditimlly slip cleared Baas Strait,anil on October 4 the Promontory wassiplitoil. But the wind was from thewrong quarter, and the ran for Mel-bourne was out of the question. Storeswere low, and the pumps were beingnmnncil day and night, so the masterderided to make for Twofold Bay.
Becr.lmed Sixteen Days.Headwind* played with the little
iTiift, and for 111 days she hung abouttin- coast without making any appre-ciable headway. By October 20 theposition was desperate, and distresssipnals were exhibited. Throughout theniplit flares were shown hourly, with noresult. Next day they exhibited thesijrmil indicating they were short ofprovisions.
fll tlu< early hours of October 23 aHtr-ampr \v»a seen approaching theCathkit. A flare was burnt for 30minutes and the steamer passed withinKino yards of the stricken scow. Thisis tlic story of the log of the Cathkitconcerning the incident:
"The steamer kept on her course,taking no notice of our signals, whichwere clearly distinguishable."
Shavings to Smoke.The feelings of the crew of the
( utlikit may well be imagined. For daysthey had no bread, a pound tin ofbully beef boiled in water was thebackbone of a meal for nine men, andonly a few tins were left. To satisfyilieir cravings for tobacco, the men weremaking cigarettes from tea-leaves,coffee dust, and even from shavingsfrom the timber cargo they carried.
Next day, the log states, they sightedtlic Japanese steamer Norfolk Maru.They signalled they were short of pro-visions. ".Send a boat," was the reply, anda. boat ■was manned immediately andlaunched. Just as it was sheering oKfrom tlic Cathkit, the Norfolk Marucontinued on her way. The crew of thescow wore staggered by this treatment,and were cast into the depths of despair.There was no wind, and they had beenpassed 'by two steamers. Hope began todie, only to 'be raised again when thesteamer Monaro was sighted.
Monaro to the Rescue.Slie saw the distress signals and
responded immediately,sendingovera bigconsignment of supplies. The crew of theMonaro organised a tarpaulin muster,end cigarettes, tobacco, and books werethCtrvvn in for the distressed membersof the Cathkit's crew.
Heartened by this assistance and atInst.--'favoured by wind, the Cathkitshaped a course for Sydney, but head-winds rose again,and big seas made herlabjur.

ThePublic Petitions Committee has no re-commendation to make on the petitionof a number of Aria residents that thename of William D. Anderson be ex-punged from the criminal records, .andthat he be compensated for an allegedmiscarriage of justice.
The Cawthron Trust.Final compromise was arranged in con-
nection-with the Cawthron Trust Bill,on which there were '.!i:sa£™eenients be-tween the two Houses of Legislative.The original bill sought to make "Jhepresent holders of certain public officespermanent trustees. The House alteredthe bill to make their term coincide withthe holding of public office, but as theCouncil took a different view, variousconferences were held. These resultedin a compromise enabling the presenttrustees to hold office for five years, andthereafter only if filling the public posi-tions specified in the will. This decisionwas endorsed by both Houses.
Women Teachers' Status.The Education Committee has re-
ported on apetition by over 800 womenteachers protesting against discrimina-tion in education staff regulations andsalaries between male and female teach-ers.

WELT.tv iv, Thursday.Information was conveyed to-day tothe Mayor of Wellington, Mr. R. A.

CO-OPERATIVE FREEZING.SHORT-SIGHTED FARMERS.
MESMERISED BY A FEW PENCE.
The balance-shoots of several Farmere'Co-operative Freezing concerns havereached Wellington, and a gentlemanclosely connected with the trade, incourse of discussion, pointed out thatthe word "co-operative"was lightly usedin connection with farmer-managed con-cerns. He deplored the fact that far-mers had not the faintest notion of thevalue of co-operative effort; in fact,they were entirely lacking in the co-operative spirit. In connection with thefreezing industry he regretted thatfarmers who were shareholders in thefreezing concerns would pass their owncompanies by and sell to outside opera-tors so long as another 3d or 6d perhead was obtainable. Tn the tenthannual report of the Wairoa Farmers'Co-operative Meat Company, Ltd., co\--ering the period to July 31 last, thereappears (he following: "The directorswish to bring to thj notice of shsie-holders the absolute necessity of behiffloyal to their own concern. Fo<" this-company to succeed, the individualfarmer must support his own organisa-tion, and if need be, resist the apparenttempting offers from outside operators.These offers may seem good at themoment, but if the policy of sendingsheep out of the district is carried toofar, it can only have one result—disasterto the company, and the farmers herewill then be ah the absolute mercy ofthe people who are at pr«eo.nt oTtringthis tempting bait." TheEast Coast Co-operative Freezing Company, Ltd.,Whakatane, has been in existence abouttwo years, and the aggregate loss duringthat period wae £4776 13/3. Tha tis dis-closed in the balance-sheet for Septem-ber last, and in the report the directorssay: "Ithas regrettedly to beadmittedthat the hoDed for measure of supportfrom the farmers of the Bay of Plentywas not forthcoming, and this fact, ofcourse, contains the key to the position.There can be little doubt that the re-quired quantities of stock are available,and if farmers will only stand by theirown company, then the unsatisfactoryfigures of the balance-sheet will be im-mediately reversed. A reference to pub-lished balance-sheets of other freezingcompanies throughout Now Zealand willprove that the tmet year has been avery difficult period in the freezing in-dustry, and as these conditions are likelyto continue, it is only with a whole-hearted support of the farming com-munity that the establishment of thecompany on a sound financial basis canbe achieved. This gives an idea of howNew Zealand farmcre view the principleuf co-operation.
MISSING BOY FOUND.
HANGING HEAD DOWNWARD.
ALL NIGHT IN A TREE.
(By Telegraph—PresK Association.)
GISBORNE, Thureday.To be missing for rfbout 31 hours, to
have a large array of searchers outpatrolling the district and then to befound securely caught in the roof of afowlhouae 200 yards from home, was theremarkable experience that befell an11-year-old schoolboy named RobertHadwen, a son of Captain Hadwen, ofthe tug Tawera. The family lfve atMangapapa, a suburb of Gisborne, on aproperty adjacent to the Cook Hospital.The boy started for school in the morn-ing, but was sent back home to fetch hisbrother's overcoat. He did not reachschool later nor had he returned to thehouse. Search parties were out allnight, and about one o'clock in theafternoon he was found by an unclehanging downward from a tree in thefowlrun, with his head and chest in thefowlrun. his head being some 12 feetabove the ground. The boy's lips wereblack and swollen almost double theusual size.
From a few words gathered from thelad some hours later it appears thatrain came on and he went to take shelterat the end of the fowlrun behind a tree,but slipped on topof the fowlhouse andwas firmly caught. The fowls werefed in the fowlhouse some few yardsaway last evening and this morning.Ho could just see the fowls being fedand couH hear voices calling, but couldneither make a movement nor speak.The lad is now suffering from ex-posure and cannot talk more than a few-words. His condition, however. i3notconsidered serious.
THE SINGAPORE BASE.THE EASTERN QUESTION.
DISCUSSION IN PARLIAMENT.(Bj Telegraph.-Special to "Star.')
WELLINGTON, ThursdayMr. T. M. Wilford took an oppor-tunity during the second reading of the
Appropriation Bill in the House to-dayto deal with the Singapore base. Heimpressed on those who believed therewas no menace from the East to realisethat Japan's base was being movednearer us. Japan was already in theCaroline Islands, bringing her a fewmiles north of Australia. It was neces-sary to establish the Singapore base,as we had to abandon Hongkong. IfSingapore were abandoned Japan wouldsoon be there. The Japanese alreadyoccupied 10,000 acres at the northernentrance to the Straite of Jahore,which separated Singapore from themainland. The Japanese held thatland under agricultural leases, equiva-lent to leases in perpetuity, and it abso-lutely commanded Singapore.
Mr. P. Fraser (Wellington Central):The Japanese Government?
Mr. Wilford: No.Mr. Fraser: It is just the same as
the Japanese did in California and theChinese in New Zealand.
Mr. Fraeer suggested that nobodywould be inclined to deny that therewas an Eastern problem, but extremeson either side should be settled on linesof goodwill, helping the people ofChina to put their house in order. Itwould, however, be foolish and criminalIto raise unjustifiable suspicion byclaiming sinister motives in respect tofacts which were well known to allstudents of the East.
Mr. H. E. Holland characterised thearguments of the Opposition Leader asdeplorable. He had heard similarthings about Japan 25 years ago. Themost deplorable thing about inter-national relationship was the atmosphereiof suspicion created by the utterancesof public men. He was opposed to theadditional expenditure of £100,000 forlan extra cruiser when the money couldnot be spared for domestic reforms. Itwould have been better to devote it topensions. /
Mr. Massey said T>» lind repeatedly em-phasised that we must give Japan creditfor being an ally of the British Empirefor years. All the same we must do ourshare in the way of Empire naval de-fence, and the Government was notasking anything unreasonable. Theenormous losses we suffered during thelaet war period were the result of ourtrade routes not being sufficiently pro-tected. He did not agree with Mr.Ramsay MacDonald that by moral ges-ture we could keep the peace of theworld.
A Member: He believed in sixcruisers.
Mr. Massey said we had to havereasonable defence, especially navaldefence, which was most important tous in the outlying countries of theEmpire.

ALLEGED BOOKMAKING.A TE AWAMUTO CASE.
DEFENDANT FINED £100.
<By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)TE AW.UIUTU, Thursday
A special sittiDg of the Magistrate'sCourt was held this afternoon, beforeMr. F. W. Platts, S.M., when HerbertAlbert Reid, hairdresser and tobacconist.Te Awamutu. appeared on remand, andwas charged that on November 1, beingthe occupier of a shop, he conductedthe premises as a common gaminghouse; also on the same date, usingthe said premises as a common gaminghouse.
Mr. H. Y. Collins appeared for thedefendant, and entered a plea of guilty.
Constable Doyle said that during thepast six weeks defendant had been lay-ing tote odds. This was known to thepolice, and sufficient evidence wasgained to warrant a raid being made.On November 1, in company with Con-stables Hooker and Mahonv', he visitedaccused's premises, and found twodouble charts, one on the New ZealandCup and Stewards' Handicap, and theother on the Mitchelson Cup and ShortsHandicap. In all sixty-five doubles hadbeen laid. The sum of £31 6/ was foundon accused, also a small notebook con-taining entries of bets made on thedoubles. A number of slips were alsofound relating to bets made on theAuckland meeting that day. Thecharges were laid under Section 4 ofthe Gaming Act, 1008. There was nodoubt in the minds of the police that thepremises had been conducted as a com-mon gaming house for at least sixmonths, and considerable betting hadtaken place. It must be said inaccused's favour that he admitted hehad been laying tote odds, and gave anundertaking to desist in future. Defend-ant had also stated that he was notcarrying on the business on his ownaccount, but was acting as an agent fora firm in Auckland. He bore a goodcharacter, was a good citizen, and hadnever previously been before the court.
Regarding the charges against theother four persons anrested. ConstableDoyle said he had no hesitation in say-ing they were on the premises for alegitimate purpose, and he did notintend to call any evidence.
Counsel for defendant said he realisedit was useless trying to defend a caseof this nature, in view of the evidenceobtained, and he complimented Con-stable Doyle for the manner in whichhe had presented the caee for the prose- jcution.
His Worship said it was unfortunatefor a young man of good character tocome before the court on a charge ofthis nature, but be had chosen to defythe law. The Act provided for a fineof f100 or three months' imprisonment.On the first charge defendant would befined £100, and on the second would beconvicted and discharged.
The charges against the other fourpersons would be dismissed.
Defendant was allowed one week inwhich to find the money.

Of it the AmericanNational Board or Review says: "Here isa motion picture, made rrom the play ofthe same name, which last year met withgreat success here, both at the hands ofthe critics and the public, which lives upto the purpose or the dramatist as to theintegrity of the theme which it handles.The picture is cnlefiy outstanding becauseIt is iiouest in Its wares, and, being such,bears so little resemblance to the greatrun of pictures where the show windowhas come to be expensively decorated InOrder to show off some French jewellerypirn. The picture is a good example ofhow the fine dramatic text of a play,utilised with discernment in the rorm orspoken titles, can carry photographedaction, and mako it stir with dramaticforces. As the girl who gives tip herbetrothed and her happiness for the sakeof the human race, and dedicates her lireto the care of her father, who has beenafflicted with Insanity, Constance Binneydoes the best work of her career.

IEverybody's theatres to-day. Describedas the most colossal and spectacular mmever made, the picture is in fourteen reels,
and takes over two and a-half hours 10screen It features an array of wonder-ful, mythical things, and has a great cast,including Julanne Johnston, a beautiruiAmerican girl, Anna May Wong, a Chineseactress, Snltz tdwards, and So Jin, afamous Japanese actor.

Then. begins aseries or wtldest adventures. These taKehim across a sea of molten lava, under tneocean, into the clouds, and to weird placesthat never existed except in the imagina-tion or the " Arabian Kights " story tellers.Through all the rantastic tale runs a lovetheme. The picture abounds in rantastichappenings, rancirul scenes, and extra-ordinary effects that are baffling in tne im-pression they make, but in no sense sug-gestive or mechanical trickery, since tnejharmonise so smoothly with the action orthe story. Many of these effects requiredmonths of experimentation, and mark adistinct development in the moving picturephotography. Over 20,000 feet or film—the equivalent of rour ordinary five-reelpictures—was used in making tests ormake-up and costume. The Bagdad setoccupied about six acres or space; theBazaar set alone covered over two acreswith a solid concrete floor rour inchesthick. This was enamelled black, andwhile being used was re-enamelled severaltimes a week.

PUSHES FIGHT.
MELEE IN PARK.
AXES AND BOTTLES USED.
POLICE MENACED.
(I'rolU liui. Own Correspondent.)SYDNEY, October 31.
Hooligans held the etage in Sydneylast week-end. At National Park tworival factions fought fiercely until thearrival of the police, and at Darling-hurst the police night patrol had atorrid time with a gang of ten.
The National Park affair was a fierceencounter. Two lorry loads of youngmen, with plenty of beer aboard, visitedthe park on Sunday. One party wasfrom Paddington, and the other fromConcord.
Going into the park they were warned■jy the ranger not to create a distur-bance, for it was then obvious that thereseemed to be bad blood between them.
Sure enough the trouble reached ahead about lunch time, when a memberof one party brushed against one of theother crowd. They started to fight, andsoon both factions were hard at it.
Two Encounters.Had the fighting been confined to fists
it would not have been so disgraceful,but they resorted to the use of bottles,sticks, bricks, and even axes.
Eventually one party retreated,boarded a lorry, and left the park posthaste. The others, whose lorry had beensomewhat smashed in the melee, fol-lowed as fast as they could. At thetop of the hill near Loftus—the railwayjunction—they met again and started tobrawl for the second time. This wasa sanguinary encounter, and there weretwo hospital cases.
They were Charles Henry Tatc, 18,of Furber Street, Centennial Park—axewound on head and broken ankle; andEdward Pocock, 19, of Concord Road,Concord—brokenarm.
The second melee was at its heightwhen the police arrived, and, usingbatons freely, soon took all the fightout of the combatants. Twenty-sevenof them were taken to Sutherland policestation. Tate and Pocock were treatedby a local doctor. Prosecutions willfollow.
At Darlinghurst.On Sunday morning Peter Matzen,
who lives in William Street, Darling-hurst, reported that he had been robbedin Woolcott Street of £5 15/. Head-quarters were informed, and in a fewminutes the patrol car arrived. Whenthe car reached Woolcott Street a mobof men were still standing in theroadway.
The car was stopped, and the policeapproached the men, who, at first, madeno move. One of the men was pointedout to the police by Matzen, and whenConstable Hardy stepped towards thewanted man, the mob made a rush atthe police.
At first the rueh sent the police backagainst a wall, where, with batons andfists, they were hard put to it to defendthemselves from their ten attackers.
Bottles were introduced by the latter,and they marked the police, but theinjuries were not all one-sided, and theofficers were able to fight their waythrough to the car.
During the fight the suspect had takento his heels, pursued by another con-stable. He was caught and handcuffed,and as the police car moved away fromthe scene of the melee, it picked upcaptive and captor.
He was taken to Darlinghurst policestation and charged with stealing fromtho person. The patrolmen called upreinforcements and returned to do moreequal battle with their assailants, butthe latter had deemed discretion thebetter part of valour, and vanished.
HOSPITAL CONTROL.
DR. BEGG'S CRITICISM.
A bombshell has been thrown intohospital board circles throughout theDominion by the opinions given by Dr.R. Campbell Begg at the Bryce hospi-tal inquiry held before Sir. E. Page,S-Al., at Palmerston North. At thenewly-formed Hospital Association■which met at Wellington recently Dr.Begg: addressed the members ou thesubject of community hospitals. Heepoke in a practical way upon the sub-ject and it was hoped that a good dealof good would result from what hesaid. Not many days passed till thedoctor was in the witness box in Pal-merston North, and there said he spokeadvisedly when he said that the hospitalsin the Dominion were inefficient, chieflyon account of the way" the' hoiuVarymedical staffs were treated by the',boards. It is only the largest hospitalsin New Zealand which have honorarymedical staffs, and the criticiein -'ofDγ- Begg reflects only on the biginstitutions.
When Dr. Mayo was recently m theDominion, he said he was much grati-fied by the efficiency of the hospitals ofthe Dominion, and that he has neverBeen a cleaner institution in any partof the world than the Auckland Hospital,and that he had seen operations per-formed'there which could not have beenmore skilfully carried out anywhere.
The explanation given by Dr- Beggin last night's "Star" was referred tothis morning by a hospital board mem-ber as inconsistency worse confounded."On the one hand Dr. Begg speaks ofinefficiency of the hospitals, and onthe other hand, says they are efficient.What he says looks as purelyan attackon hospital boards, and voices theopinion of a certain section who do nothesitate to say that they would do awaywith hospita* boards altogether, as hesaye he would like to see the hospitalsfree of any possibility of political con-trol, local of general-
"There hae been a gradual building-upof the efficiency of the Dominion's hos-pitals and outside medical men havepassed the highest eulogiums on ourwell-administered institutions, and haveoften said that the system of haviug amedical superintendant who was the solehead as far as admitting patients wasconcerned, could not be improved uponJvo body of men does more worthy workfor the community than the honorarymedical staffs of our large hospitals,but to give them executive power underthe present system of hospital controlwould lead to confusion and would inthe opinion of the majority of 'themembers of our hospital boards, lead«o that inefficiency which seems toloom so largely in Dr. Begg's mind."
TO PARIS BY AEROPLANE.
A FOURTEEN-SEATER "BUS."
EXHILARATING EXPERIENCE.
"My first acquaintance with airships(on paper) was reading in a boys'magazine Jules Verne's 'Clipper to theClouds' " writes Mr. B. F. Cranwell, ofAuckland, who is now on a trip toEngland and the Continent. "YesterdayI looked down from 3000 feet. I wellremember reading in that flying fancyof the great French author, when Bail-ing through Japan, the pilot is des-cribed as pointing down and announcing,'This is the capital of Japan.' Yester-day I looked down from 3000 feet andsaid 'This is Paris, the capital ofFrance.' Our party consisted of 14,We started at 12 noon and quicklyreached an altitude of 1000 feet, whichwas soon raised to 2000. The tempera-ture remained steady throughout thetrip The machine was as steady as anexpress train, and with the exceptionof a few bumps caused by faulty airconditions, the ride was as smooth asmotoring over a good road. The har-vestwas being gathered in England, thewagons and horses appearing to us like
"A patchwork quilt would bestdescribe the scene below, the irregularshaped fields being in dark green,fringed with a lighter shade in thehedgerows. There were fields of swedeturnips iv a blue green, <with highwaysand byways in light and dark ribbonsseparating the farms and connectingthe towns. The patches of forest withautumn tints added a yellow brown tothe colour scheme. By 12.4,3 the Eng-lish channel was in sight like a silverribbon glietening in the sun. The sealooked to mc like crumpled glass. Wepassed over several tramp steamers,
I which seemed about the length of ayard stick. By 1.1.", p.m. France was"on the port bow, with dark grey cliffs,sand beaches and a shoal-mouthed river.The under view wasone of rural France.The farm houees are roofed with slate,and the barns covered with red tiles.There seemed to be no land idle andno noxious weeds in field or village.There were no new houses, no change,but just perpetual farming, now as itwas a hundred years ago—work, sleep,cat; work, work, sleep. It is here per-haps that the answer to the riddle isgiven. Rural France, the Cinderella,saves and scrapes so that one at leastof the cities of the Republic can be the"ayest place in the world.
"At 3.12 p.m. the aerodrome wai insight, and earth contact was made aftera graceful curve with a few slightbumps. We wero at the gates of Parisafter a most exhilarating and interest-ing experience."
WORK AND RELIGION.
WONT JOIN A UNION.
MAN'S RELIGIOUS SCRUPLES.
It was stated during the course of anaction the other day in which an em-ployer was charged with having em-ployed a non-unionist when there wasan efficient union worker out of work,andavailable, that the non-unionist con-cerned was a "conscientious objector"to unionism. The trade involved wasthatof carpentering, and a "Star" repre-sentative who made inquiries on the sub-ject to-day of the union secretary wasnot surprised to learn that the con-scientious objector's views on unionismwere based on religious grounds, for itwill be remembered that the Man ofNazareth was the son of a carpenter.The man in question, said Mr. Blood-worth, belonged to a religious sectwhich did not appear to have any dis-tinct name, but whose cardinal prin-ciple so far as he could make out wasthat its disciples were "on the earth,but not of it," and paying a tribute toany. trades union as a member wasagainst their principles. That it reallywas the principle, and not the moneyinvolved, was shown by the fact that,the man in question had offered to makevoluntary payments of more than theunion fees so long as there was no im-plication that this constituted member-ship of, and a confession of allegianceto the union. Of course, hie moneycould not be accepted on thia basis.The secretary said that there were oneor two others of the sect about, andthey generally got over the difficultyabout unionism by doing odd jobs intheir line, and working with unionistsat busy times. From the point ofview of unionists they were looked onas good mates, for they minded theirown affairs and made no effort to makeconverts among the union men. Whenslackness in the trade caueed their placesto be filled byunion men they made notrouble about it, being quite convincedthat they were being looked after by ahigherand more capable power than theunion.
Quite another brand of religiousopinion, said the secretary, was repre-sented by the long-haired men known asflewIsraelites, who were good unionists,and preached the gospel of unionism aawell as that of their particular kind ofreligion As it is a belief of thesepeople that in the millions of the earththere are only 34,000 people, who beara secret markon their bodies as indicat-ing they are specially chosen for salva-tion, there are not many New Israelitesnere. Amongst the carpenters are alsoha™ I—

APPRENTICES.Now that )hc celebration of Labour
Day has become a thing of the past, andthe" Auckland spring meeting is over,
there does not seem to be any questionof paramount interest agitating thelocal unions at present. That is, ofcourse, over and above interests of aroutine nature. But if I were asked1o name a subject that is more thanusually prominent just now amongstthe skilled trades. I would mention thequestion of apprentices. On this mat-ter, the skilled trades, employers andemployed, and. 1 misht also add, thogeneral public, present a varied atti-tude. By the Apprentices Act, passedlast session, which came into force onApril 1, ISJ24, the practice relating toyouths who are bent on learning askilled trade, which has existed fordecades past, has been interrupted andbrought into conformity with publicopinion as put forward by a combinedcommittee of employers and employees,and adopted without alteration by Par-liament last year and embodied in theApprentices' Act. (Since then, severaltrades have set up apprentices' commit-tees, formulated claims, and secured therequisite orders by the ArbitrationCourt to give them the legal force.Other trades have not moved in thematter of applying to the Court forconditions, but are waiting to see howthe pioneer unions in this procedureget along with their little lot.Employers are no keener to take onapprentices now that the Act has be-come law than they were under the oldorder, while the unions are of theopinion that their members have notthe direct interest in the matter thatthe employers and the general publichave, and it would be unseemly for themto make the first move. And so in gometrades there is a deadlock during whichthe trades are being starved for the■want of youthful tradesmen,and parentsand guardians of boys who have alaudable, ambition to be skilled workersare anxiously awaiting some movewhich will open the various avenuespromised by the coming into operationof this much heralded Act.
A DISPUTED POINT.Even to unions who havebodily seized
the opportunity afforded by the Act,and secured their first Apprentices,Order, the course is not all plain sailing,for, in the absence of precedents andTiilings under a new order, there aredivided opinions on many points, andthe aid of the Court may have to beinvoked to make a ruling, or create aprecedent. One of the local unionsobtained an order of the Court prescrib-ing working conditions for its appren-tices including wages, which came intooperation on September 1 last. Clause3, sub-section (4) of the Act provides:"This Act shall not apply to any con-tract of apprenticeship that has beenin force for a period exceeding twoyears at the time when this Act wouldotherwise apply thereto." Under thisparticular order of the Court, the wagesfor apprentices have been increased (bymutual agreement of the two partiesthereto from 15/per week for the firstyear, to fl per week for the first sixmonths of the apprenticeship, and thedisputed point is on thequestion of howall apprentices entering the trade duringinto the contract prior to September 1,1024. The employers have appealed tothe Labour Department for an inter-pretation,and theDepartment rules thatonly those apprentices taken subsequentto that date are affected. On the otherhand, the union holds the opinion thatall apprenices entering the trade duringthe two years prior to the coming intooperation of the Act, are affected, andthat they should receive the increasedrate, for their respective period ofservice, as from September 1. It maybe mentioned that when the combinedcommittee representing both parties,was sitting in conference at Wellington,under the chairmanship of the Ministerof Labour, the union representativesasked for all apprentices to come underthe provisions of the Act automatically,but the other side strongly objected,and as a compromise, it was decidedto split'the difference and make it twoyears, hence the clause in the Act. Aruling on the disputed point is to beasked from the Court at its next sittingin Auckland on December 12, and it maywell resolve itself into a test questionfor other unions interested.
COOKS AND WAITERS.DOMINION AWARD SOUGHT.
WELLINGTON, Thursday.The claims of the New Zealand Fede-
rated Hotel and Restaurant Employees'Industrial Association for a Dominionaward came before a conciliation councilto-day.
In regard to holidays, the employeesclaimed two weeks every 12 months.The employers offered one week.Wages constituted the main question,and an agreement was reached in regardto chrfs, cooks, laundresses, and waitersemployed casually. Pantrymen are toreceive 15/ for the first three days, andthereafter ordinary wages; porters andgeneral hands, 15/ a day for the firstthree days, and ordinary wages there-after. The employees asked that over-time be paid at the rate of time anda-haJf for the first three hours, anddouble time thereafter. The employersoffered time and a-half for the first fourlioure, and double time afterwards.
GIRLS IN RESTAURANTS.WELLINGTON, Thursday.
Various matters affecting hotelworkers were placed before tho Minis-ter of Labour to-day by a deputationfrom the Hotel Workers' Federation.
The deputation asked for an amend-ment to the Shops and Offices Act, toTiring the workers into line with otherawards. Girls in restaurants nominallyworked eight hours, it was said, but theperiod could be spread over 14 hours.They wouldlike this spread reduced, andthought that eight o'clock was late'onough to work.
The Hon. G. J. Anderson said heintended to go into various matters inregard to the Act during the recess,with a view to new legislation next ses-sion. The question of the hours of,■female workers in restaurants had beeninvestigated by the Labour Bills Com-mittee, when it was pointed out thatit. was almost impossible to manage arestaurant unless the hours were spreadover a lengthy period. However, hewould look into the request.
THE MAGIC SPARK.A GOOD TWO-STEP.
SHORT-WAVE ACHIEVEMENTS.
SOME NEGLECTED FEATURES.
(By PHONOS.)
The beginners' class conducted underthe auspices of the Auckland RadioAssociation is inakiug considerable pro-gress, and evincing much enthusiasm.The next meeting will be held on Wed-nesday.
Recent American files to hand givesome particulars of the first radioworld's fair, Which opened at New Yorkabout five weeks ago. The vast display,covering acres of floor space, is onlyanother indication of the phenomenaldevelopment oi the radio industry. Inaddition to comprehensive exhibits byAmerican manufacturers, no less thaneight European countries are repre-sented at the exhibition, and Japanalso sends evidence of her participationin the radio trade. The display ofnovelties, and recent inventions, is oneof the features of the great show, at■which it was estimated that the attend-ance would exceed a quarter of a mil-lion. The promoters anticipate makingthis world's radio exhibition an annualaffair.
ACHIEVEMENT AND RECOGNITION.Widespread interest in wireless
achievements has been aroused by therecent successful two-way communica-tion between New Zealand and GreatBritain by amateurs using short wavelengths and low power. Such a featredounds greatly to the credit of thoseenthusiasts who have thus conversed byMorse around the globe, and it is farfrom the writer's purpose to detractfrom the credit of such feats. Thereis one point about them, however, thatthe man in the street, and perhaps eventhe enthusiast, is likely to overlook.Round-the-world communication such ashas recently been recorded, is a tributemore to the technician's skill, to thecapabilities of the operator, than to anyscientific progress. Those amateurs whohave spoken to each other have merelyshown that, in capable hands, the pro-ducts of years of scientific research arecapable of certain results. Somethingof the honour should go to those pains-taking laboratory workers who, throughthe silent years, have evolved the appa-ratus thathave made these achievementspossible. The successful operators woulddoubtless be the first to accord this, butthe general public may miss this point,and credit the amateurs with researchwork in the development of new devices,instead of the application of skill to thehandling of them. As a matter of fact,any big radio manufacturing concern,with the capital to spend and the timeto devote to the objective, could haveachieved the objectives so recently ac-claimed, but their experimenting wasdirected into other channels. Investiga-tions carried out thoroughly from as farback as 1913 have proved that the longwave length—say somewhere about 6000metres—is more suited for transoceanictelephony than is the short wave,because it suffers less from absorptioneffects during daytime. Further, re-searchwith short wave transmissionhasshown periodical variations in signalstrength, with most remarkable fluctua-tions occurring at intervals of a fewseconds. These, of course, put regula-tion out of the question. Commerci-ally, for wireless telephony, the longwave has beep utilised, .not because thecapabilities of the. shor.t wave wereunknown, but because convincing re-search had shown the former to be themore suitable.
THE "EARTH."The earth should be as short as pos-
sible, and composed of as many wiresas can be arranged. Keep them in aibunch, insulated if possible, and solderthem to the nearest stop tap on thewater main.
If you cannot arrange a water earth,solder the ends to a biscuit tin orbucket, and bury at least a yard deepin the ground. Fill the tin or bucketwithcinders and clay, and remember to keepit moist with water.
If at any time you find your signalsgetting gradually weaker, pour two orthree buckets of water over your earth,and the signals will at once regain theirlost strength.
Having got the aerial and earth tothe highest state of efficiency, the actualreceiving set next claims our attention.
A REAL TWO-STEP R. F- AMPLIFIER.There is an increasing tendency to ,
utilise a stage of non-oscillating radio-frequenev amplification ahead ofregenerative detector, or additionalsteps of oscillating amplifier. Pucli asystem will increase signal strengthsomewhat, and will at the same time,act as a radiation reducer, if notentirely preventing radiation from im-properiy operated receivers.
About the best combination we canthink of along this line, and one whichis easy to build, is shown in the illustra-tion, "and consists of a stage of neutro-dyne r. f. amplification, a stage of oscil-lating amplification and a detector. Theneutrodyned first stageaccomplishes non-oscillation without having to resort toa lossev in the circuit—which, in addi-tion to being inefficient, is an additionalcontrol; the second stage, being un-equipped with any sort of oscillationpreventer, realises the full benefits ofregeneration right up to the oscillationpoint; and the whole set resolves itselfinto not more than three controls, withthe possibility of having only two.
In the circuit shown above, the twotransformers, comprising toils "A.15.'and "P.8." may be ordinary neutro-formers. If built, they may be madens follows: For coils "B" and "S" windon 45 turns of No. H d. c. c. wire on afour-inch tube. The tap on "S" is takenoff at the fifteenth turn from the fila-ment end of the coil. The primaries."A" and ~P" are 1:2 turns of No. 24d. C. c. wound on over the secondarycoils, with a layer of paper to separatethe two windings.
Condensers "C" and "C-2" may be.0005 mid variable condensers, prefer-ably of a low-loss type. "CI" is theneutralising capacity and may be oneof the forms of neutrodons now onthe market.
The varimeter "V" is used as an auto-transformer, or tuned inpedanee. asthe method of coupling the second stageof amplification to the detector. Thismay be any form of variometer. "C-3"is a fixed by-pass condenser of .001mfd capacity." The grid condenser "C-4"is preferably .00025 mfd. and the gridleak should'be variable for best results.
In operating the set, it will lx"found that condensers "C" and "C-2"will tune about the same throughoutthe wave-length range of the set, andif this is so it might be an advantageto belt, or pear, the two together, thusmaking one tuning control for the lw
The variometer, "V." should alwaysbe operated just below the oscillating
point, not only because we will then pre-clude the possibility of radiation, butalsobecause greatest signal strength andbest quality will be realised.
A set of this kind, if properly bniHand operated, will give results notice-ably better than the ordinary two-stage neutrodyne, and will certainlyrepay the effort expended.

Unless your wires are at least sixfeet apart, there is no advantage inhaving a double aerial. Erect the aerialas high as poeeible. Bemenrber thatheight is more important than length.An aerial sixty feet in length and tenfeet above the chimney top3will getany-thing you want.

The ladies of the. Devonport BowlingGreen Croquet Club held a successful"gymkhana" on Tuesday last, the wholeof the bowling green and croquet lawnsbeing used, also all spare space withside competitions. By 11 a.m. the courtspresented a very busy appearance,crowds of players journeying from thecity and suburbs. Never have the greenapresented such an animated scene. Fourcourtswere used for progressive croquet,the bowlers having kindly placed theirgreen at the disposal of the ladies,which greatly added to the funds forthe day. The president, Mrs. Lowe,welcomed the visitors on behalf of theclub, stating the club took it as agreat compliment seeing so manyvisitors. She also eulogised the membersof the Croquet Club for the splendidmanner in which they had worked tomake the function a success, and thenintroduced the Mayoress, Mrs. Lamont,who made a charming little speech anddeclared the "gymkhana" open. Thefair was organised to get funds to payfor the alterations and additions to thecroquet pavilion, a feat which wascarried out, the proceeds amounting toabout £38. Bowls for ladies proved agreat attraction and numbers entered,Miss Mason winning first prize, Mrs.Swanson second. Progressive croquetprizes were■■ won by Mesdames Brown,Guthrie, Darcy, and Miss Keatley;putting competition by Miss Koch;skittles, Mrs. Gull; peg competition,Mrs. Lamburn (Matamata); crazycroquet, Mrs. Seaton; clock croquet,Mrs. Darcy 1, Mrs. Webster 2.A beautiful fowl presented by Mrs.Prosser was won by the Mayoress, in agueesing competition. An iced cake,presented by Mr. G. Ford for guessingalso, was won by Mrs. Craig, Epsom.Mrs. H. S. W. King and her assistantshad a very strenuous time in the tearoom, which was very largely patronised.This club is to be congatulated, as inless than four months they have. heldthree functions and cleared £97, a mostcreditable performance. A splendid stallwell laden did great business for theday, the total receipts being £15 2/3, allthe goods being sold.
The Dickens Ball was held last Wed-nesday in the Boating Club Hall atBayswater as a fitting climax to thesuccessful bazaar just concluded atwhich £600 was taken. Many of thequaint Dickens costumes with which wehave become familiar were seen amongatthe dancers, and some pretty andstriking fancy dresses. The prize's wereawarded to Mrs. Moller in Easterndress, and to the wearer of theChinaman"s dress whose name we wereunable to ascertain. The hall wasconverted into an old English street, bythe use, in a modified form, of'thescenery used for the bazaar, and thesupper room lavishly decorated withflags, Chinese lanterns and streamers. \precaution against excessive heat, muchappreciated by the dancers, was twoenormous "punkahs" hung with colouredelectric bulbs which created a refreshingcoolness when required. Amongst thegueste were: Mrs. Moller, Mrs. FrancisMrs. Ward, Mrs. and Miss Forsyth theMisses Bradley (2), Mrs. and the MissesFortzer, Miss Price, Miss Davis MrsRambaud, Mrs. Kirkham, Mrs Powell*Mrs. Barker Mrs. Bradley, Miss Smith'Mrs. Dowl, Mrs. Gyde, Mrs. Cook Mrs'Tukster, Mrs. Macßae, Mrs. Woodward'Mrs. Skerritt, Mrs. Brinsden Mr'Smythe, Mrs. Ledgard, Mrs. Volkner'Miss Powell, Mrs. Thomas, Miss Dowl'Miss Dick, Miss Bertram, Mrs. CarrThe fancy dresses were judged by Airs'Levctt and Mr. H.

AMONG OURSELVES.A WEEKLY BUDGET.
(By CONSTANCE CLYDE.)
SOME FEMINIST SUCCESSES.Colchester (England) has rather dis-
tinguished itself lately by appointinga woman mayor twice in succession,perhaps the first time this happeninghas occurred. The retiring lady is aMrs. C. Alderton. whose term of officewas productive of much good, her suc-cessor being Dame Catherine Hunt, aprominent social worker, and also mem-ber of tlic Women's ConservativeLeague. An honour is also to be doneMiss Margaret McMillan, well knownfor child welfare work, whose name hasl>een proposed for placing on thehonours board of the Dcptford CouncilChamber. It. in only a matter of asiiort time until this distinction is con-ferred. Miss Lawrence's position asParliamentary Secretary to the Boardof Education "has been n most importantone. not so much inferior, it is said, tothat of Fru Bang in Denmark, who hasrecently been made Minister of Educa-tion. We have been hearing somethinglately concerning the Governorship ofTexas, which is to be conferred upona woman. Mrs. Ferguson. Latest newstells of legal attempts that are beingmade to prevent the ratification of thisappointment, as it is argued that "herimpeached husband would be able toinfluence her administration." Hseems, however, that the chargesagainet Mr. Ferguson of mishandlingState funds were dismissed in thecourts, and that, therefore, even forthis reason only, such an argumentagainst his wife's holding office wouldbe unfair.
NURSES AS VOTERS.Though so advanced in many ways,
England is still behind her Dominionsin respect to its franchise law. Cer-tain residential qualifications are neces-sary before a vote is obtainable, andmany women are not quite certainwhether they are entitled to this rightor not. Though the vote has now beengranted for five years, there are stillquestions on this matter. For in-stance, on the 16th of September thisyear the Town Clerk at the SouthwarkRegistration Court was obliged to givea decision as to the privileges of nursesin this respect. The decision concerneda number of nurses and other membersof the staff at Guy's Hospital, theRoyal Eye Hospital and others. TheUnionist agent lodged the objection onthe ground that in certain technical
respects the conditions of their resi-dence and terms of their appointmentwere such as to disentitle them toexercise the franchise. Mr. JusticeDarling gave the decision, however, that" a person who inhabited a dwellinghouse by virtue of any office, service, oremployment was to be deemed an occu-pier of thatdwelling house for the pur-pose of the People's RepresentationAct." So hy this time these nurses (ifold enough) hagve exercised the suf-frage at the present momentous elec-tion, and a question that seems to havetroubled the Homeland people for sometime has been at last settled. For. ofcourse, this decision affects all othernurses, besides many others of similaroccupations.
"DESERT DUST IN OUR EYES."Those who take their views of the
Arab sheik from Rudolph Valentinomust feel somewhat surprised when anauthority like Rosita Forbes shows usthe Arab woman as legally quite theequal of-her husband and brothers.According to law, for instance, she mustreceive an equal share with her bro-ther in the family money, while her ownconsent, as well as her guardian's, isnecessary for her marriage until ehe istwenty-one. After that age, however,her own consent only is necessary. Shehas the same rights of divorce as herhusband, while, if a slave woman, sheis automatically emancipated if shebecomes a mother. Not only this, but ifshe states that she is ill-treated thenative judge frequently gives a decisionin her favour, allowing her liberty, for"Allah rejoices whenever a slave isfreed." The statement that Arabwomen are downtrodden is, in fact, onlydesert dust in our eyes." However,they are etill Eastern in their outlookas regards life in general. "How cruelyour husband must be, forcing you towalk about outside!" was a favouritecriticism of the white woman. Again,Arabs frankly admit that they do notunderstand conjugal affection in theVVestern sense of the word. "What isthis love?" asks the prosaic sheik.
WITHOUT A NATIONALITY.The question of woman's nationalityon marriage was a gain discussed at theInternational Law Association at Stock-holm. One of the debaters agreed towoman s right to retain her ownnationahty upon marriage as one towhich she was entitled, "even as peopleare entitled to be foolish if theyw shed. Another, however, pointedouLtl 'I ■theSe times a ™»iAn fre-ZZ\ ! v" °Wn na«°°ality to dis-ZZ at *t Could not **fe™ her

The work of building the War Mem-orial Mueeum at the Domain is nowproperly started and this 'big job will bestraight going from now on.
The easing oft" which lias occurred inthe fity is to be found in the suburbsand the number of houees now going upis comparatively small. Several com-mercial jobs are in course of erection,and in all the main streets, bricklayers,plasterers and concrete workers arc tobe seen at work. The progress made incertain main street shas been very exten-sive, and nowhere is this more pro-nefunced ■yian in Karangahape Road,which has almost been remodelled duringthe pact few years. There is still fur-ther building to be done in this busythoroughfare as the Bank of Australa-sia will shortly erect a branch at thetop of Queen Sreet. Onchunga canclaim to have progressed considerably,and in this one-time quiet suburb, thereis now a very fine theatre, and manyblocks of new shops. In Parnell, too, anew picture theatre is the best buildingerected on the main thoroughfare forsome time, but all along the ManukauRoad, and particularly in Newmarket,many shops have been built. However,not a few of these are empty, and therei' 3 good reason to think that ehopbuild-ing not only in the suburbs, but also inthe city, has been overdone. DominionRoad terminus is now a busy shoppingcentre, but here, too, the signs are thatthe limit has been reached, althoughwhen the estates just beyond the ter-minus are cut up, and the concreting ofthe main road completed to BoundaryRoad, the present lull in building opera-tions will take new life. As a matterof fact, everywhere considerable build-ing has been carried out during the pastcouple of years, but the number of per-mits issued now for commercial build-ings is very small.
That the money market is tight Isshown at every auction sale of propertyand whereae at one time, during the-boom period, auctioneers could not getsufficient properties to offer, the posi-tion now is that the demand is not atall keen for houses, that is, to buy.There are some rare bargains to bosecured, but the building is very crampedexcept for corner sections which alwayselicit spirited competition.
Four schools are cither being erectedor altered by the Canterbury EducationBoard, the work 'being carried out byday labour. The wages 'bill rune into£300 a week.
The building returns for Wanganuifor the month of October, disclosethat the number and values of huild-ings for residential purposes aregradually increasing each month. Lastmonth's figures show that the value ofthe Iβ permits, issued for the erectionof dwellings in the city and suburbs was£21,650—the largest figure in this con-nection recorded this year. Twenty-twopermite were issued for the erection ofmotor sheds to the value of £.597, while13 permits -were granted fox alterations,additions, etc., costing £1061, makingthe total for the 51 permits issued£23,205.
Although the number of building per-mits issued by the C'hristchurch CityCouncil last month was exactly thesame as in October, 1923, the valueshowed a drop of £24,200. The greatestdecline was shown in the Central Ward,both inner and outer areas, where the'value dropped from £31,881 to £20,865.All the suburban wards, with the excep-tion of St. Albane, showed substantialdecreases as compared with laat year.In St. Albans, on the other hand therewas a remarkably good improvement,the value of the new buildings being£30,352 as against £17.287 last year. Ofthe total of 114 permits iseued 50 werefor new dwellings, mainly in StAlbans.

LAND AND BUILDINGS.
AROUND THE CITY.
Outside, of plans (being prepared fordwelling houses the city architectsreport little or nothing doing in the wayof new buildings to be undertaken in thenear future, and it is quite evident thatthere is a very pronounced easing off inbuilding activity compared with thistime last year.
Money is very tight at present and itis no easy matter to raise mortgages.This of course has a very marked effectupon future building, though the generalopinion in the city is that while animprovement may be looked for imme-diately after the Xew Year, there islittle likelihood of money being easy toget.

THE
Secret of Hexton Folly.By INA LEON CASSILIS.
CHAPTER XVIII.Raghleish gnawed his nether lip. but
he controlled the disposition to resenttlii' captive's manner, and said, com-posedly:
"I mmc here for that purpose. Youare here. Mi-s Kaiinond, because of ]your likeness a remarkable likenessin xnine respects—to my late ward,Adela Sorle. You wore right whenYOU said it was a question of money;ii is—n very considerable fortune.Adela died a natural death; if she hadlived I should have no motive .in °et-ting you down to Hcxton Folly—l may(ell you hero that it was by a merechance 1 saw you—Adda's fortune wasleft to her in this way: if she marriedand died intestate, her money went toher husband; in any case lie had a lifeinterest in about .€10,000; the rest shecould dispose of by will. If she diedunmarried and intestate, her fortunewent to her ncxt-of-kili. Who that is, Ijdon't know. Adela died unmarriedand iiitestate. Now, do you under-.standr
"Perfectly," she answered, with acurious coolness. "You and your motherand your accomplice, the woman How-die, concealed the fact that Adela Serledied; but that game could not be keptup for ever. Chance favoured you whenyou saw mc. 1 was to pass for thedead woman; and for that reason I waskept practically a prisoner at HextonFolly. Your intention was to induce mct.i marry you—as you would havemarried your ward; hut death savedher from that fate. You discovered that!>y fair means you could make no waywith mc: so yon had recourse to foulmeans. I am to many you as AdelaSerle."
Basil looked at her steadily for amoment: but his glance wavered be-neath the measureless scorn in the darkeyes that met his without flinching.
"Yes," he said at last—"'you havestated the ca«c correctly. I havebrought you to Scotland because a Scotsmarriage is easily accomplished: inKnglaud I should ho powerless; an in-formal marriage is impossible."'i Yore rose now. •'You may put asideIany such questions." she said. "Amarriage with you. under any forms orIconditions, would lie impossible. [ wouldInot marry you if the alternative weretorture and death. .Marriage in mycreed is a sacrament. You can do yourworst—starve mi—no doubt you 'willjtry that—use any torture you think younan safely use—but you will never breakmy will. Now you can leave mc.""Xot vet!" said Hashleigh, throughhis teeth. "You are defiant now; youmay change your note in a few weeks—I'll starve you into submission!',
Vere laughed. "Try it!" sheanswered.
if that fails." Basil said, and he drewnearer as he spoke—"l will swear andmy mother and Howdie will swear thatyon and I were married by Scots law.,.
But Ycre laughed again. "Then youwill be a fool," she said—"for you willswear you were married to Adela Serle,and 1 am not Adela Serle, and can easilyprove it. The marriage would be a.fraud, and you know it. It is uselessto -hake a bogy before mc; such paltrytricks are c.liildmish."
She saw that her gaoler was startled;he had thought to frighten her, and hadfailed; but he rallied, and said with asneer: "You are brave—now; hut foryour name's sake you will consent tomarry mc. when my mother leaves this
»honse. and you are here, alone with mcfor days—perhaps weeks."Yera faced him with a burning, steady
gaze that bore.down his. "It is a black-guard's threat," she said—"a threatworthy of you; but it frightens mc nomore than the other. I would not gothrough any form of marriage with youif all the world condemned mc; if Iwere whipped through the public streetsas they whipped poor wretches in theMiddle Ages—you have set your hand toa gamble in which you will lose all thestakes."
"We shall see—" Basil answered, in akind of stfll fury—"we shall see!" Heturned to the door, opened it, and lookedback. "We shall!" he said once moreand went out. The key turned sharplyin the lock, and V'ere was alone again.
CHAPTER XIX.The Secret of Hexton Folly.
The days passed heavily for GeraldLoeksley. He inserted in several papersa cautiously-worded advertisementwhichYere. should it meet her eye, wouldunderstand, but there was "no reply.Why did she remain silent? What hadhappened to her? IJe was a prey to thetatha sthin I-most deadly apprehension.. He felt cer-tain that she would not leave him solong without even a message to assurehim of her safety. He. dared nbt facethe thought, that.she. wa« dead; but cer-tainly she must be. in durance—not afree agent; perhaps in deadly peril. Theman's heart was sick within him.Surely, surely the woman he loved knewof his pain—heard his voiceless cry toher—surely, by some means, the awfulgulf-of eilenw;- that separated him fromher would be bridged. He almost livedat bis club, hoping against hope, toreceive some message from her; butnone came.
To his mother he never spok» of Vere;but she knew he had not forgotten, thatany hope of his turning to MarciaDavenant was indeed a forlorn hope;she grew to repeat bitterly her interfer-ence with her son's desires: for it hadsignally failed in its object, and hadrecoiled on herself, for was she not,in a sense, losing her son? There had;never been true sympathy between thetwo, but now there was estrangement—intangible, but very real. She neverdared question him, and though heuttered no reproaches he offered no con-fidence.
One morning, accompanied by. hisinvariable companion. Rex. Lock.«lev en-tered his club, and looked for hisletters. There were several, but onecaught his attention because tbeenvelope was of very common paper,and the address written in an unedu-cated hand. The postmark was "LittleMarw-ood, York*"—a town he had neverboard of. He carried tins-letter with tl'oothers into the morning room which, asit happened, was empty, and., golnrr toa table where he was pretty sure ofsolitude, Loeksley opened the letter.There were three enclosure*—one wasin an envelope fi<ld>«>»W • . Vm n -.i ••writing made his heart leap up with asuffocating throb. It was VerS's hand-writing. He tore open the envelope.\\ ithin was a brief letter, written inItalian.headed "Hexton"s Folly. Thorn !ton Ash. near Little Marwood Yorks"I"Mr. Rasblci-I, „„,, hpr , on [keeping mc here a prisoner." Yerewrote !"It is because I am like a ward of Basil/|Adela Serle, who died, and there's somemoney involved. - I didn't mean toI
leave you without any new*; but I can-not post letters: and now 1 am lockedup. I am throwing this out of thewindow, on the chance of someone find-ing it. There is no one to help mc.;I know you will. Forgive mc for appeal- .ing to you.—Vere." j
Forgive! Oh, what was 'here to tor-give? He was alone. He pressed theletter passionately to bis lips—At la-M----at last—the long anguish of suspensewas relieved: lie knew that she lived;
nay more, that she seemed to be in nopersonal danger, on the contrary itwould seem that the object ot the con-spirators was to pass her oIV as the girlwho had died. After a minute or two,
he looked at the other enclosures. Onewas in English, written by Vere herself.
On an envelope which enclosed ine
letter to Lo.ksley. -Whoever' themessage ran "may chance to find this isentreated, for God's sake, to forwardthe letter inside to the address, on ticenvelope The finder will be amplyrewarded for his trouble by the personaddressed.- The other enclosure waswritten on a half sheet of note paper,headed. "Thortoii A.h. Yorkshire. "Sur.
it ran. "My son Jimmy I'""' 1,,° lptter 'send you. "And hop It red! you sale.Your* obedent, Mrs. Gnndlay.
Rex whinnied softly, and thrust In*black muzzle into his master s liami.-Rex," Locksiey said, and rose to his
feet, "there is stern work to be done.and no time to lose, ionic!
And man and dog went oltt.A taxi to his chambers, a few neces-
saries thrust into a. small suitcase- nemight be away for days, or even weeks—and Locksiey, with his faithful com-panion, was driving to Kings t r.'ss.where he caught an express for iorK.Little Marwood. he found, was in NortliYorkshire almost on the Durham bol-der. He had to wait for an hour atYork for a Ira in, and reached LittleMarwood at eight oVIoi-k in the even-ill". Inquiring for Thortoii Ash he wantold it was four miles by the road;there was no station at the village. Itseemed useless to go on this evening.
Agricultural villagers go to bed earlyand at nine o'clock Mrs. CirinilUy wouldp.robably be fast asleep. Moreover.there would be no one about to directhim to her cottage. lie stayed thenight at Little Marwood, therefore, andearly the following morning started towalk to Thornton Ash. It "as alovely autumn morning, and the >i-en-
eiy through which the road passed wasbeautiful: but fierald Locksiey had noeve just now for the beauties ofnature One set purpose entirelyabsorbed his thought*. Presently,straggling cottages began to'appear, anda lumbering rustic came along, with abag over " bis shoulder. Locksieystopped him. and asked to be directedto Mrs. Grindluy's cottage. The manuavc the direction—it was a mile fur-ther on. ami Locksiey went forwardagain. Next a woman directed him. ina dialect he could scarcely understand,and at length he found the cottage—alittle thatched dwelling, -landing backfrom the road, and at the open dooran elderly woman stood washing some-thing in a large wooden tub. She lookedup as the stranger approached, andglanced rather apprehensively at Rex.Locksiey raised his hat. -Mrs. Grind-
May';", he said interrogatively. "Mydosj is as gentle as a lamb.' he added,smiling.
"Yes, sir." she said, taking her bandsout of the tub. and wiping them on herblue check apron, "that's my name.'.The woman had a pleasant mid intelli-gent face, and she eyed the handsome,well-dressed "frezner" curiously.
"1 am Mr. Loeksley,', Gerald added,"to whom you were kind enough to sendthis letter/ He helrl out Ycre's let-ter as he spoke. Mrs. Grindlay's facebrightened at once.
"Lord, sir," she said, "just think ofit! It was my boy Jimmy found it.sir, just by the hedge, at Hexton's Folly,you know, sir. the day afore I sentit. I don't know how it came there.Jimmy brought it home, and it seemedas I ought to send it. so 1 did, sir."
"You did quite right, and 1am verygrateful t« you," Locksiey said. "Youmust allow mc to acknowledge yourkindness, but tirst 1 want to ask somequestions."
"Come in, sir. and sit down, if youdon't mind." He followed her into thelittle kitchen, and sin- brought forwarda chair, dusting it with her apron.
Ivocksley seated himself. and Rexlaid down at his master's feet.
"How far is HextonV Folly fromhere?" Gerald began.
"A matter of three miles, sir. It's afey sort of place, as you might say-very lonesome; there ain't a house nearit."
"Who lives there';"'■Mrs. Kashlcigli and her son. and a
servant women. Janet Hodwie—she's ahard one. is Janet, never says a wordto no one, unsociable. Mr. Rashleighcomes to the post office sometimes, butlie never speaks no more than he'sobliged to."
"Was there anyone else beside thesethree?"
"Well, sir, I've beard say there wasa young lady by the name of Serle, butthey seemed to keep her close. Theneighbours here say she had money,but I don't know. I never see her, noranyone else as I ever heard on."
'Was it Miss Serle. do you think, whothrew out the letter?"'
"That I can't say. sir; it mightn't ha'come from the Folly. I don't know. 1never see Mrs. Rashleigh, but I don'tlike the look of Mr. Has:,.: r.r-.A ;t s.-c.-..~odd their living in such a place, don'tit? The garden is a regular wilder-ness—and thorn London people, too. Mr.Basil speaks south country."
"Do you know if the Rashleighs arestill at the Folly?"
"That I can't say positive, sir: yousee, it's a good way off. and they neverwent about like other folk: but thisI also know—nobody's been in the vil-lage, to the post, or anywhere else, thisfortnight."
"Do they keep a carriage ,of anysort?"
"Xo, sir, but once or twice— well.twice—I sec Mr. liasil driving amotycar—"'
"By himself?""Yes. he was by bissclf.""Was it bis own?""Oh. no sir. he got it from Hinion's
at Little Marwood, my nephew worksthere, so I know."
Locksiey made a mental note of Ffin-ton's. and after a few more question?.found that Mrs. fJrindlay had given him
[all the information she possessed. H',jplaced a hand.-onip reward in her han-.1.enjoining her not to talk about what hadpassed at the interview. Then he tookiiis leave, and after ascertaining theway to Hexton's Folly s.-t out for thogoal. His heart misgave him as he strodeonwards. Everything pointed to a sini-ster mystery, and it seemed only toolikely that the Rasbleigbs had quitt.-dHexton's Folly, and it might be inpo>--
i sible to trace them. Yere's letter wanI dated a fortnight ago: it nan uicrei'Tui lain all that time unseen until younjj•limniie found it.
'Hie country »ivw more wild and soli-tary as he proceeded: he saw no liou-so-;
I Hexton's Folly seemed to deserve its•name. What could induce a man to
lmild a house in such desolate surround-ings? Presently he caught sight of thehouse—Mrs. Orindlay liad described it.and added that there was no mistakingit. since there was no other dwellingwithin three or lour miles in any direc-tion. As he drew nearer. Locksiey sawthe utter neglect to which the gardensIhud been reduced. The house itself. 1though not actually "tumble down" wasobviously in very had repair. Therewas no sign of life about it. no smokeissued from any chimney. Approachingfrom the front Loekslcy saw that alltin, windows wen- shut: the lower one*]had shutters before them. He walkedround to the back, and noted Ihe hedgebordering the lane where .Timmio foundthe letter-: lie looked up at the windowfrom which, as lie judged. Yero had ,thrown the letter. That window wasdarkened by inside shutters. Therewere no lower windows on this sideof the house, and no menus of reachingthe upper windows. Loeksley made thecomplete circuit, of tlie house. Therewas a lower door at one side, but hethought it would lie easier to breakin by a window than by either this orthe front door; both seemed strong andsolid. It did not occur to Gerald Loekr>-
■ lev to knock at (lie front door, thatwould simply give warning if thereshould be anyone within. He resolved,alter due examination, to effect an en-,trance through what was apparently thekitchen window, on the same side ofthe house as the lower door. Some ofthe glass of this war. already broken, lintinside shutters closed it, Locksiey hadbrought an electric torch with him, andat Little Marwood he purchased a stout.-tick, almost a bludgeon he \4>uld pro-bably have ukc for both. With 'thelatter he now proceeded to break pretty, well all the glass.

BEAUTY COLLECTION.CUTTTNT.fi FROM BEAUTY ARTICLESTHE CREAM OF MODERN BEAUTY
ADVICE.
REMOVING BAD COMPLEXIONS.(.osmetics rnu never really help a poor
complexion; often they are positively harmful. The sensible, rational way is toactually remove the thin veil of stifling.half-dead scarf skin from the face, and givethe fi'.-su. vigorous and beautiful young[skin underneath a chance to show itselfiand to breathe.1 This is best done hi a very simple way.by merely applying mercolised wax atnight, like cold cream, and washing it offin the mornins. It absorbs the disflguriiiscuticle gradually and harmlessly, leaving abrilliant natural complexion. Of course,this also takes with it all such facialliiemisbes as red blotches, tail. u:othpatches, sallowness, liver spots, etc.
The new skin is usually several degreeslighter, and finer in texture.
TO KILL HAIR ROOTS.Women annoyed with disfiguring growths
of superfluous hair wish to know notmerely how to temporarily remove the hair.but how to kill the roots permanently. Forthis purpose pure powdered pneminol maybe applied directly to the objectionable hairgrowth. The recommended treatment isdesigned not only to instantly remove thelmlr, but fil.-o to actually kill the roots sothat the growth will not return. About anounce of pheminol should be sufficient.
