MADAME DE VALERA
A PERFECT HOMEMAKER
News received by cable yesterday ofthe tragic death of Brian de Valera,the 20-year-old son of Mr E. de Valera,President of the Irish Free State, re-minds one that, although Mr deValera's name is now almost a house-hold word in the British Empire, verylittle is heard of his wife. Yet no onerealised more thoroughly than he doesthat he is very fortunate in his wife.This lonely, aloof, serious-minded manis not robust, and like most professors,he could never be bothered withdomestic affairs and arrangements, allof which are carried Out by his wife.
She is a handsome, medium-sizedwoman, kindly and charming, with anIrish gaiety of manner and a verypleasant singing voice. Her maidenname was Fhlannagain, and, since hermarriage in 1910, she has had a veryanxious, life; but, in spite of all theoutside storms and stresses, the mar*ried life of the de Valeras has beenvery happy. Although Madame deValera is retiring in disposition, andshuns publicity, she is a culturedwoman of wide reading-and many in-terests, a good linguist, speaking fouror five languages fluently. She hasnever taken any part in politics, andfew have ever heard her express viewson the Irish question. She is a devoutCatholic. Every evening the Rosary, aprayer dear to the hearts of all Irishpeople, is recited in her household,and she attends Mass almost everymorning.
The de Valeras live in a modestmansion at Biackrock, Dublin, whereMadame de Valera helps her small staffWith their household duties. She is anexcellent cook and an ideal mother toher family, which, until this week,numbered seven, five sons and twodaughters. It was the fourth son whowas killed while riding on Monday.

OBITUARY
MRS J. S. NEVILLE
"The news of the death of Mrs Fran-ces Elizabeth Neville, wife of Mr J. S.Neville. Town Clerk of Christchurch,will Jje received with profound regretthroughout Canterbury, for fewwomen have done more than she haddone to deserve the gratitude* and ad-miration of her fellow citizens inChristchurch. For more than 20 yearsher life had been one of service in theinterest of others, especially of thepoor and friendless.
Mrs Neville was a clever woman,with a good memory, great adminis-trative ability, and remarkable energy,and these gifts, combined with cheer-fulness, tact, kindliness, and goodwillmade her a valued member of themany committees and associations towhich she gave generous help.
Service for OthersDuring the war, she was closely
associated with the Mayoress, MrsHenry Holland, In working for theLady Liverpool and Red Cross So-
cieties, and only those who were herfellow-workers during those fourstrenuous years realised the tax madeupon her strength and energy at thattime. Her active interest in the workof the Red Cross Society was main-tained until her death. During the in-fluenza epidemic in 1918, she tookcharge of the stricken area at LakeColeridge, and, under trying condi-itions. when medical aid and skillednursing were almost unobtainable, shew.,-j untiring in caring for the sick andtheir families, and in consequence shewill long be remembered with grati-tut* ■> in that district. Again, after theNtpier earthquake she was in the fore-1front of a band of workers who came jto ihe assistance of the refugees fromHawke's Bay when they arrived inChristchurch. Some years ago MrsNeville suffered a severe illness, butwhen her health was restored, farfrom resting on the laurels which shehr.rt fairly won, she again took up her Jwork for the relief of distress; in-Christchurch, and during the last fiveyears of depression she had labouredincessantly for those in need. Therewas hardly a body engaged in social;service in the city that did not profitby the experience she had gained inearlier years and enjoy the benefit ofher wise counsel.
Social DutiesAs wife of the chief executive officer
of the city, she was called upon tof>lay an important part in municipalife. to attend many official functions,
and, with her husband, to receive andentertain many distinguished visitorsto Christchurch. She was closelyassociated with five mayoresses—Mes-dames H. Holland, J. A. Flesher, H. T.J. Thacker, J. K. Archer, and D. G.Sullivan—and with all of them shemaintained happy relationship and toall she gave loyal support.
A few years ago Mrs Neville wasappointed a justice of the peace.
Last year Mr and Mrs Neville leftfor a trip to Britain, Europe, andAmerica, and returned to Christchurchonly two months ago. Mrs Nevillewas stricken with illness suddenlyabout three weeks ago, and though sherallied slightly, little hope was enter-tained of her recovery and she diedearly yesterday morning.
The funeral will leave Mr Neville'shome at Sumner to-morrow morningat 10.30, arriving at the Bromley ceme-tery at 11 o'clock. As a mark of re-spect the City Council offices will beclosed from 10 a.m. until noon.
The death of Mrs Neville was re-ferred to by the chairman (Mr M. J.Barnett) at last evening's meeting ofthe management committee of the Can-terbury Horticultural Society, ■ andmembers stood in silence as. a markof respect. Mr Barnett said that al-though Mr and Mrs Neville were notmembers of the society, they had al-ways placed their services at its dis-posal.
At last night's meeting of the Boardof Directors of the Young Men's Chris-tian Association, the president, Mr D.E. Parton. made a. sympathetic refer-ence to Mrs Neville and paid a tributeto her wonderful service to the cityand especially those in distress. It wasdecided to send a letter tf sympathyto Mr Neville, expressing sincere sym-pathy in his bereavement.
A resolution of sympathy with MrNeville in the death of Mrs Neville waspassed by the North Beach ProgressLeague at its meeting last evening.
A motion of sympathy with the rela-tives of Mrs Neville was passed at lastevening's meeting of the SumnerBorough Council. The Mayor said thatMrs Neville had been a resident of theborough for many years, and duringthat time had endeared herself to awide" circle Of friends. Councillors stoodin silence as a mark of respect. ■

REVOLUTION INCHINA
OBSERVATIONS BYMISSIONARY
GREAT. CHANGES OCCURRING
The chaotic conditions prevailingin China and the sevenfold revolu-tion which is rapidly taking place atpresent were described to the "ThePress" ' yesterday by Mr R. W.Sturt, a missionary who is re-visiting Christchurch after 35 yearsspent in China, Manchukuo, andMongolia. Latterly he, has beenstationed-at" Hada, in the provinceof Jehol, a. province as big as GreatBritain. Having been in Manchukuosince the latter days of the Manchudynasty, Mr Sturt has seen manydevelopments, for since then Chinahas been in a state of chaos.
Those who tried to understandthe racial part of the great re-volution which was in progress didnot realise that the clash of col-our was the cause of much of thetrouble, said Mr Sturt. It was theold antipathy o£ .China to westernideas, but the impact of westerncivilisation on the fabric of China'slife was reflected in the revolution;After throwing off the Manchuyoke, the country's next develop-ment in her political revolution wasthe casting aside of the war-lordsand the driving out of the incubusof communism.
With the political revolutioncame what Mr Sturt described asthe intellectual revolution, whichwas comparable . with the. renais-sance in Europe. The primarycause wasjthe translation of manybooks into Chinese, and to-day theland was flooded with the most ex-treme forms of the teachings ofKarl Marx. China was trying tothrow out.these new sets of ideaswhich she was unable to digest.
The introduction of Christianitycaused reaction in the ancient pagansystem. There had been manyanti-Christian . and anti-foreignriots, it was true, but the stimulusof the impact of Christanity on therelgious thought of the people wascausing the reformation of the oldcults. This was- interlocked withthe social revolution which was re-sulting in the complete disintegra-tion of, the life of China.
The industrial revolution inEurope lasted for almost a century,but a similar change occurred inChina in 25 years, continued MrSturt, with the introduction of rail-ways, mines, factories, and all themodern industrial life of the west.Trade unions had. come into exist-ence and through them the wholecountry was riddled with the mostextreme forms of revolutionary ele-ments.
The final phase.of the sevenfoldrevolution was in the spiritual lifeof the country, and while theChristian church had been weak-ened phyeically, Mr Sturt believedthat it had been strengthenedspiritually./'China, for millenniums un-changed, is rapidly going through asevenfold revolution which is al-most completed, although it com-menced only 25 years ago," con-cluded the missionary.
STRATEGIC LAND
FIGHT FOR CONTROLIN MONGOLIA
JAPANESE METHODS
"M6ngolia is the block in a fascin-ating tug-of-war between Japan andRussia for the control of that greatstrategic land, and things are happen-ing," said Mr R. W. Sturt in ah inter-
! view with "The Press" yesterday. MrSturt, who is a fellow of the RoyalGeographical Society,- is revisitingChristchurch after 35 years of mission-ary work in China, Manchukuo, andMongolia, and during his work therehe has made a close study of inter-national developments. He would ex-press no definite opinion on the future,but he admitted that a great conflictof arms would not surprise him..Japan's activities were extending be-yond establishing a buffer betweenherself and Russia, however, and itseemed possible that history would berepeated in that the one emperorwould again reign over Mongolia,Manchukuo, and northern China.
"Japan is throwing up a monarchicalbulwark between herself in Korea andthe Soviet," said Mr Sturt, "and allher efforts have been concentrated oncombating communist influence. The•Manchukuo monarchy has been estab-lished, followed by the banding to-gether of the Mongolian tribes. Therehas been no Mongol empire for 600years, and the new empire buildersnegotiated for some time with Russia,China, and Japan, f6r communist, na-tionalist, or monarchical control. Theysought the best terms and decided thatthe help of Japan was the most ac-ceptable method of attaining the in-dependence which they had not en-joyed for six centuries." j
The Manchus and Mongols were!closely allied, and the Manchu em- ;
peror was the historic head of both,!so that Japan was provided with a
strong lever in securing supportshe needed in throwing up a bulwarkagainst Soviet activities in the East.; "We may expect Japan to form atleast a* series of autonomous states forthe length of the China wall, even ifshe does not go so far as to form onemonarchical block," said Mr Sturt.That powerful influence would beexerted in another direction also, andwhat had happened many times inhistory was likely to be repeated.China has always feared invasion fromthe north, says Mr Sturt, and thatdanger is again being created by thecoalescence of that numerically greatpeople who will probably rule as farsouth as the Yellow river, for theManchu emperor holds hopes of beinginvited beck to the throne of China.AH this is happening under thesuzerainty of Japan, who finds suchmethods of gaining her ends the leastexpensive, and the most effective, forshe will then be able to control com-munist activities in chaotic China.
"Japan's step. is the only one pos-sible for peace," concluded Mr Sturt,"but, of course, it is a Japanese peace.They say there is an open door - toManchukuo, and that is true, but Japanis standing on the doorstep, and it is along way round her. Nevertheless,she has done much towards cleaningout the cockpit of the^East."

NORTH BRIGHTONAFFAIRSPROGRESS LEAGUE HOIwDS
MEETING
.The monthly meeting of the-North-Beach Progress League and. Beautify-ing Association was held in the Mem-orial Hall last evening. Mr A.'Peverill presided. , ■ ,
Mr Peverill reported that with 'MrG. E. Franklin he had rinterviewedthe manager of the Tramway Boardabout the running of a trolley-busfrom" North Beach at 6.45 a.m., andhad been advised that the board wouldbe considering a new time-table at theend of February; and' would be pre-pared to receive any suggestions.
At the meeting* of the league heldin November, a sum of £2 was votedto the New Brighton Plunket So-ciety.
At the meeting last evening, Mr IvanLamb moved: That the previous reso-lution voting the,sum of £2.be re-scinded.
Mr Lamb, in speaking to his motion,said he was not in any way opposedto the good work of the PlunketSociety. He considered that the leaguewas formed for the purpose of pro-gress of the district, and beautifying.He realised, too, that the funds of theleague were low, and. had it not beenfor the assistance of the social com-mittee in raising funds the . leaguewould have been in debt.
After considerable discussion, thequestion of the validity of the motionwas raised. The chairman ruled themotion out of order, as the notice hadnot been given in time.
A motion by Mr Lamb that theopinion of the league's honorary solici-tor be asked as to whether the leaguecould make donations to other pur-poses than for the benefit and progressand beautifying of. the district wasdefeated.It was decided to draw the attention
of the New Brighton Borough Councilto ,the insanitary state of a numberof the houses.
A letter was received from Mr D.Summerfield, secretary of the Thom-son Park Committee, asking for theremission of the money collected atthe opening of Thomson Park andBand Rotunda, and held in trust bythe Progress League for the commit-tee. It was decided to pay the.amountof £6 ss.
It was decided that a letter he sentthrough -the Minister for Railways (theHon. D. G. Sullivan) to the Ministerfor Public Works, asking. for ■ the co-operation in an effort to have' thetram service.from North Beach toCentral Brighton reinstated.
Cr. J. S. Ainsworth reported thatthe plans and specifications for thebaths to be erected in the Rawhiti Do-main had been submitted to the NewBrighton Borough Council and re-ferred to a special sub-committee to,go further into the matter and report.

WHEN YOU ARE OVER 40
Your Blood Needs MorelronAlmost without exception the blOod
of most women at 40 and' over, be-comes thin and devitalised. It is usu-ally deficient in its most important in-gredient, iron. Iron in the blood actsas a carrier of all the vital nutrimentsto every organ and tissue of the body,and also carries away the- poisons.Lack of sufficient iron in the bloodsoon brings unhealthy pallor and atired, worn-out feeling, dreadful head-aches, backaches, and nervous "depres-'sion. '.-' ,-,",";-'..'"- .'■"■ -<>■■'':<■
At middle-age it is necessary 'torevery woman to have an abundant?supply of blood, rich in iron, to escapethe trials associated with.that criticaltime. To get plenty, of iron in theblood, take Dr-fWilliams* Pink. Pills,\jrtuch contain* with, other, importantingredients, a form of iron that isdirectly and quickly/ absorbed intothe blood. This has been proved byindependent medical teste at a- clinicwhere 50 cases of anaemia were treatedwith these pills. Blood teste beforeand after treatment showed; remark-able results.If you are middle-aged, and suffer-
ing the miseries of anaemia, begin -atonce a short course of Pr; Williams'Pink Pills. You will 'soori" be: re*freshed with new energy and ne\yhealth. pizziness, headaches,, and 1backaches Will' quickly vanish:' 'Atchemists and stores, 3s' bottle;. • ■'.{-^

CHRISTCHURCH FIRE BQ^D^',.'" PROJECT
' '-■
Within the next few months, theconstruction will be commenced of atwo-storey brick building in Tuamstreet to house- .married members pithe Caristchurch' Eire/ Brigade ;an4their families. The total, cost of theproject will be about £9500. It wasreported at a meeting last night -ofthe Christchurch Fire Board that, itsapplication to the Local GovernmentLoans Board for a loan of £9500 forthis purpose had been granted, andthat the Minister for Internal 'Affairs,the Hon. W. E. Parry, had. given hisapproval.
The board has already paid a de-posit for the purchase of a section inTuam street, adjoining, the presentquarters, and the building will *beerected there. ,
Certain negotiationshave still to-be concluded, but as soonas these arrangements are complete,tenders for the construction of thebuilding will be called. According tothe secretary of the board, Mr C. J.Treleaven, this should be done withinthe next few weeks. -
At-present there is accommodationfor 10 married men at headquarters,but • when the proposed building isconstructed it will be possible to houseanother 10 married men and theirfamilies.
The decision to build new quarters"has been caused by reasons of economy,for the board helps to pay rent formarried firemen whose families haveto live away from the station becausethere is not sufficient accommodationfor them at headquarters., At presentsome married firemen are living on thepremises, but the board is assisting-these men to provide accommodationfor their families living outside. Theboard considers that the money it nowpays in rent for quarters for these fam-ilies can be saved, and that morecomfortable and convenient accom-modation can be provided. The loan of£9500 will, it is. estimated, cover thetotal cost of buying the required landand erecting the building.
NINETY-SEVEN ALARMSOF FIRE
CALLS. TO BRIGADE IN LASTTWO MONTHS
During the last, two months theChristchurch Fire Brigade has beencalled out on 97 occasions. Reportingto a meeting of the Christchurch FireBoard last night, the superintendent,Mr C. C. Warner, said that 30 of thesecalls were for fires on property in thecity, and 31 were for grass, rubbish,and hedge fires. Eleven maliciousfalse alarms had given, and 14calls had come from automatic alarms.Most of the latter calls were causedby accident
Referring to improvements at thestations, Superintendent Warner saidhe had previously stated that a largesum of money could be spent to ad-vantage in renewals and renovationsto stations, particularly at headquar-ters, and from that viewpoint he askedthat an Inspection be made by theboard before it framed the estimatesfor the year 1936-37. It was neces-sary to keep the motors and plant up-to-date, and for that purpose he, sug-gested that consideration be given tothe purchase of another new machinewhen the estimates were under re-view, or as an alternative to have thewheels on Nos. 5 and 6 motors con-verted and .fitted with pneumatictyres at a probable cost of £IOO each.
The board agreed to have an inspec-tion made of the station. Considera-tion of Superintendent Warner's lastsuggestion was deferred.

ANNIVERSARY OFWRECK
PENGUIN DISASTERRECALLED!;
PURSER NOW IN CHRISTCHURCH
New Zealand's broken cossWine hasseen scores of wrecks withf.the loss ofvery, many lives; particularly in thedays before wireless became a neces-sary adjunct of sea traffic, and the an-niversary of probably the greatest tra-gedy in the history of shipping in .hewaters of this Dominion falls to-day.
On "February 12,1909, the Union SteamShip Company's passenger vessel Pen-guin, bound from Picton to Wellington,was wrecked off Cape Terawhiti inCook Strait, and of the 101 persons onboard, 75 perished.
The complement tdtalled 41, hut only13 of these reached shore alive. Thepurser was a young man at. the time,and that was his second wreck within18 months, the previous one being theKawatiri, on the Tasmaman coast. Heis now manager of the company atChristchurch, Mr A. R. Thompson. Cap-tain F E. Naylor, who was in chargeof the vessel, is now harbourmaster atWanganui, and the second engineer, MrLuke, the only engineer who was notdrowned, is an engineer in the West-field freezing works. ' m
V
Graphic accounts of the wreck,which occurred at the point in CodkStrait which has the worst record,were published at the time. Of the 23women on board, only one reachedshore alive, and the story of her ex-perience is still amazing. Mrs Hannen,
1 her husband, and their three childrenwere steerage passengers, and she andher baby were put into the second boatto leave The boat capsized in theropes as it neared the water, and allwere hurled out. Mrs Hannen lost herbaby, but recovered it by feeling roundin the water, and unlike most of theothers she succeeded, in getting backinto the boat. Little progress had beenmade when the boat capsized and thepassengers were thrown into the highsoutherly sea which was running. Asthe boat turned over, however, MrsHannen, her baby, and a small boywere imprisoned under it.
•Under Upturned BoatThere was a certain' amount of air
under the boat, and as each big swellcame along the air was refreshed. Theboat was never lifted sufficiently bythe waves, however, to permit escapeMrs Hannen lashed her baby to one ofthe seats, and, as she and the boyclung to the other seats, the boatslowly drifted ashore. Their troubleswere not yet over, for they were stillimprisoned when a sandy bottom wasreached, and Mrs Hannen commencedto dig her way out, but each succeed-ing wave . refilled her excavations.When this method of escape failed shepoked a stick out from under the boatand waved it to attract attention, shep-herds from the nearby sheep stationreleasing them.
While the boats and rafts were beinglowered from the ship detonators werefired and coloured lights were burned,but in the high gale which was blowingthey were useless. The first boat con-tained women and children, but it wasoverturned by the big seas, and nonesurvived. AH this happened at 10 p.m.,and it was 2 a.m. before the first sur-vivors reached the shore, the shiphaving sunk, within an hour.
Within a few hours bodies com-menced to drift ashore, and New Zea-land was shocked at the terrible loss.Those boats and rafts which survivedthe-heavy seas in which the ship hadbeen wallowing werp smashed on therocks or in the surf clbse inshore, andnone of the survivors reached landwithout having spent some time in the.water. Is In* a state- of«almost* complete ex-haustion, the handful of survivors setout to scale the precipitous cliffs fromthe narrow beach, and few reached thetop. Some fell back, and others wereforced to return to the beach, toawait assistance, which shortly camefrom the settlers in the district.
The bodies which: were washedashore were taken to Wellington,where a mass funeral was held, and afew days later the enquiry was opened.The Court of Enquiry attributed thetragedy partly to the exceptional floodtide which was running at the time,and suspended the certificate of themaster for a year.

THE METHODISTCHURCH
CONFERENCE TO OPENTO-MORROW
SOCIAL PROBLEMS FOBDISCUSSION-
Many matters of religious and socialimportance will be discussed at theannual conference of the New ZealandMethodist Church, which will beopened to-morrow evening at the Dur-ham Street Methodist Church, whenthe president-elect, the Rev. E, PBUimires, will be inducted. Mr Blam-lres, who is director of youth work inthe church, will deliver an inauguraladdress on various aspects of churchwork with special reference to modernproblems. At the same session thepresident and secretary,, for 1937 willbe designated by ballot,-and the vice-president for the current year, whowill be a layman, elected. The retir-ing president and vice-president arethe Rev. J. H. Haslam, of Wellington,and Mr C. W. Francis, of Christchurch.
More than 300 representatives, in-cluding 22 women, are expected to at-tend the conference. Much of thebusiness during the week for whichthe conference will last will deal withthe affairs of the church, but muchattention will also be given to ques-tions of topical interest and import-ance. Among the subjects to be dis-cussed are unemployment, war andpeace," temperance, public morals, mar-riage from the Christian point of view,marriage of divorced persons, com-munism, and other social questions.The subjects have been considered byvarious committees; and have been re-vised by the nine district synods sothat the conference may discuss themand express an opinion.
Church AdministrationQuestions of mere purely ecclesias-
tical concern include overseas andhome'missiens, youth work, and churchand circuit administration. There willbe a searching analysis into the mem-bership of the church and enquiry intoproblems of the relationship betweenthe church and the world. Sugges-tions will be made for the consecutivestudy of these programmes so that adefinite teaching programme may bearranged.
The reports that are to come beforethe conference show that much goodwork* is being done. The Dunedin Cen-tral Mission reports that a healthcamp for children at Company Baywill shortly be started, it is hopedwithout debt. An eventide home foraged and indigent people is alsoplanned, and a great deal of philan-thropic work is being done. TheAuckland Social Service shows similaractivity, and has secured a site for ahealth camp and rest. home. Bothmissions give a prominent place toevangelistic work.
Proposals for Youth WorkProposals for the decentralisation of
the youth work of the church will besubmitted, and a request will be made-for this department to issue a peacecovenant for signature. Both pro-posals are expected to give rise to keendiscussion.
The Home Mission department ex-pects to conduct a special campaign jnthe interests of home and Maori mis-sions, and consideration will be givento important proposals for co-operationbetween the Home Missions Board andthe Deaconess Institution, in order tobring about increased employment ofdeaconesses.
This year there are nine candidatesfor the ministry, recommended by thefollowing districts:—Auckland, two;South Auckland, one; Hawke's Bay,one; Wellington, two; Nelson, NorthCanterbury, and South Canterbury, oneeach.
There will be many important funcrtions during the conference—a .gardenparty at the Children's Home, Hare-wood road, a Bible class rally, adeaconess dedication on the Sundayafternoon, an ordination service, a
musical festival, a youth demonstration,and a missionary meeting.
CAMP OF CAVALRYUNIT
TRAINING TO BE HELD ATMOUNT SOMERS
With the unit up to its full peace-time establishment of officers, non-com-missioned officers and men, making atotal of 333 of all ranks, the CanterburyYeomanry Cavalry is confidently ex-pecting success for its annual camp,which will be held again this year atthe property of Mr Arthur Grigg atMount Somers from March 28 to April6. It has been the custom of the unitto hold its camp successively in North.Mid, and South Canterbury, but be-cause, of the success of last year'scamp, which was held at Mount Somersand which was a record for all the ter-ritorial forces of the Dominion, it hasbeen decided to break away from thisrule, for 1936 at least. The site atMount Somers provides excellent coun-try for the practice of tacticalmanoeuvres.
The unit has made considerable pro-gress recently and was brought underthe notice of the public during thevisit of the Duke of Gloucester, whenit provided the only mounted guard ofhonour to parade for the duke, andagain at- the celebrations of KingGeorge's silver jubilee in Hagley Park,when it performed a spectacular"march-past." •
Indications are that the attendanceat this year's camp will eclipse therecord attendance last year. The timeat the camp will be principally de-voted to tactical training, with thespecial feature this year of night oper-ations.
The commanding officer will beMajor L. R. C. Macfarlane, M.C., andCaptain K. J. Walker will be adjutant.The brigade commander, Colonel G. R.Mitchell, D.S.O. V.D., will inspect thecamp on April 4, and it is expectedthat the general officer commanding theNew Zealand forces, Major-GeneralSir William Sinclair-Burgess, will visitthe camp.
•The advance party will leave to erectcamp on March 24.

LAWN TENNIS
CHAMPIONSHIP EVENTSCONTINUED ~■ .
ANGAS AND DYMOND WIN,DOUBLE? TITLE
The Canterbury Lawn Tennis Asso-ciation's annual championships, aftermany delays on account of badweather, have now been advanced tothe semi-finals or finals in all events,and with the few remaining matcheswhich have been arranged for to-dayand to-morrow, the way will be clearfor the completion of the tournamentnext Monday afternoon. Yesterday atWilding Park the men's doubles eventwas concluded, C. Angas and H,Dymond retaining their title by beat-ing H. S. P. Andrews and A. R. Cant,7-5, 6-3. The courts had. dried welland conditions of play were excellent.A good programme of matches duringthe afternoon was enjoyed by quitea" large gallery.
Angas reached the final of thesingles by beating his ola rival, T. W.Patterson, 6-0, 6-3. The championshipnow lies between Angas and E. .A.Roussell, Wellington's leading player.Angas was in excellent form. Al-though Patterson, as nimble as ever,could match Angas in the baselineexchanges, he was always threatenedby Angas's advances to the net. Fora time in the second set Patterson hadAngas groping for well-placed cross-court drives and net-skimming passingshots, but the long raUies usuallyended when the champion advancedto the net for his punishing volleysand smashes.
Attractive DoublesF. M. B. Fisher, the old New Zea-
land Davis Cup player, and winner ofthe New Zealand doubles champion-ship on many • occasions, was pairedwith another left-hander, R. Browning,in the doubles semi-final, in whichthey lost to Andrews and Cant, 6-3,6-2. Fisher found some surprisingangles with his shots, but the strongeasterly breeze' affected the olderplayers more than their opponents.
Angas and Dymond were clearlysuperior in the final, although An-drews and Cant made a strong fightfor the first set after saving two setpoints at 2-5. Angas's smashing wasnot as destructive as on the previousday, but his opportunist volleying andhis surprising pick-ups were a constantsource of trouble to the younger pair.Dymond ■ gave him very steady sup-port, and in the second set came tolight with some neat interceptions atthe net. Andrews's neat angle-volley-ing was the feature of the losers' game,and both defended well. They wereinclined, however, to make mistakeson easy shots. Played at a fast pace,the match was an attractive exhibitionof the doubles game. '
Two Long: MatchesAnother splendid doubles was .seen
in the semi-final of the women's event.Misses N. Bishop and E. Fleetwoodwon a very strenuous two-hours' con-test from Miss M. Wake and Mrs J. DCarl, 10-8, 7-5. The driving of all fourcould scarcely have been improvedupon, but although each made attemptsto intercept, the volleying -was notsufficiently decisive. Overhead MissFleetwood was the best of the four,and her smashing proved the decidingfactor in a very close match.
Late in the day one of the bestmatches of the tournament was seenin the mixed doubles. Miss E. Rudkinand C. F. Penfold beat Miss M. Wakeand J. H. W. Sheppard, 8-6, 7-5, 8-4,although the latter pair led 4-2 in thesecond set. It was a great volleyingduel between the veteran, Sheppard,and Penfold, who is easily the bestdoubles player arriopg the youngergeneration of Christchurch players.Sheppard was the more enterprisingin the earlier stages of the match, butas he tired his overhead work lost itsaccuracy, and in the third set Pen-fold, given many openings by MissRudkin's accurate driving and per-fectly-judged lobbing, dealt decisivelywith everything within reach at thenet> ,"■■■,«_"
Miss Bishop and Dymond, one of thestrongest pairs in the event, were toosolid for the young- players. Miss D.Dickey and I. J. Corich, winning 6-2,6-1. Mrs E. M. Peppier and Cant, an-other seeded pair, defeated Mrs Carland B. B. Loughnan in a more evenmsttcti*
To-day the semi-final of the women'ssingles, between Mi ?s I. Poole and MissE. Rudkin, will be pJayed at 3 o'clock,and at 5.30 the semi-final of thewomen's doubles, between Misses I.and* T. Poole and Miss Rudkin andMrs D. Macdonald, will be played.Some of the junior events will alsobe proceeded with.

, lM>tfBLE-FEATURE PROGRAMME
The riotous adventures of a school-master, the pursuit after a pricelessnecklace, and theromance of a wealthywidow are all combined J lntb, .onetheme in "Boys Will Be Boys," whichwill be one attraction in a double-feature programme Munich is to beginat the Crystal PiSace on Friday,
Will Hay is played to great advan-tage as a schoolmaster. With himare Gordon Harker, who is not to betrusted, and. Claude Dampier, whoplays as a mournful assistant master.
The famous "Founders' Day" 'atNarkover is a feature of the film. Thisis a great .occasion when a grandluncheon is given to the whole school.The feast includes, everything fromsoup to nuts, and the Narkover schoolsong is the finishing effort in a feastof fun. This song was written especi-ally for the film by Leslie Sarony andLeslie Holmes. The school commit-tee attend in its best clothes to,adornthe top table and to witness the fam-ous "Narkover" Rugby match whichtakes place during the afternoon. Itis one of the most outrageous andfunny matches ever shown on theBcreen. Over and over roll the play-ers, kicking, scrumming, passing, andpushing with the master-always atthe bottom of the scrum. On the out-side line a knowing player beatsmadly up and down in an agony ofsuspense. A diamond necklace ishidden in the ball.
Hay eventually procures the neck-lace and returns it to its owner; Narkiovians take him at last to their heartsand carry him shoulder high back tothe school house beneath the admiringeyes of the owner of the necklace.
This film, which is directed by Wil-liam Beaudine, is probably one of thefunniest and most hilarious farces evershown on the screen.
"Jack Ahoy!" with Jack Hulbert inthe lead, provides many amusing situ-ations, a romance, a dash of thrill,and brilliantly photographed and im-pressive pictures of Britain's navalmight This comedy is both spark-ling and exhilarating. It has a goodstory (although stories seem hardlyto matter much when Jack Hulbert ison the screen), of a not very seriousyoung man, who enlists as a navalrating, falls in love with his com-mander's daughter/and more by luckthan judgment rescues both of themfrom pirates and also brings to safetya submarine the pirates have cap-tured.
AVON
"BARBARY COAST"
It is doubtful if Samuel Goldwynhas ever made a, picture that was notoutstanding, and he is said to havetriumphed again with "Barbary Coast,"which will begin at the Avon Theatreon Friday. This is a spectacular drama jof the Californian gold-rush days liftedfar above the average by the 'all-''round excellence, of the acting and thecolourful authenticity of the atmos-phere. Written specially for the scjeenby Ben Hecht and Charles MacArJtour,the story contains in its developmentand dialogue the rich and racy qualitywhich makes the work of these authorsalways so notable. Miriam Hopkinsacts extremely well in the starringrcle. She makes one believe in herand, in her part of Mary Rutledge, anattractive young woman who arrives inSan' Francisco to marry a prospector,
• only to learn that he is dead. Ratherthanreturn, she becomes, the decoy forLouis Chamalis (Edward G. Robinson),and controls the crooked roulette wheelof this unscrupulous saloon-owner whois the ruthless dictator of 'San Fran-
■ cisco. .She succeeds in repelling Cha-
malis' advances, but fails to acknow-ledge the evil of her own life until shefails in love with Jim Carmichael(Joel McCrea), a young prospector.Thereafter the story follows the twinthemes of Chamalis' jealousy and at-temptedrevenge., and the formation of
or self-appointed police,who finally leave the way open for a,happy-ending; The scenes showing thedisembarkation of the heroine and
* other enthusiastic searchers for thenew Eldorado are both artistic and
* spectacular, and the,subsequent detailof the-film gives colour and convictionto the exciting action. The three starsare'"all extremely good, and the acting
. in the supporting roles is no less bril-liant.
An entirely satisfying comedy thatsparkles with witty dialogue that canseldom have been bettered on thescreen, and a wealth of funny situa-tions, is "Hands Across the Table."
. which is the current attraction at theAvon. Theatre. It is one of those filmsabottt which It can be said with truth

; actings particularly by Carole Lom-bard, Fred MacMurray, and RalphBellamy.
The first half of the programme isalmost as big an attraction. It is acomplete sad, intensely interesting re-cord of Rear-Admiral R. E. Byrd'ssecond and most recent Antarctic ex-pedition, 'Far more interesting thana newsreel, in spite of the actual truthof the scenes if depicts,' "The Bottomof the World" (which is the name ofthe.film) gives a vivid and realisticimpression of life at Little America,anq of Byrd's lonely vigil at AdvanceBase.
■;,. THEATRE ROYAL
"BED SALUTE" IN SECONDWEEK
The many picturegoers who have ad-mired Barbara Stanwyck's emotionaland dramatic roles will be pleasantlysurprised by her first.appearance as acomedienne in "Red Salute," whichhas: entered its second week at theTheatre Royal. With a versatility that
- marks the true artist,, she capturesperfectly the light-hearted, challeng-ing spirit of modern youth as a uni-versity student who kicks over thetraces and has to be brought backwith a firm hand to the accepted wayof thinking. The young man who ap-plies the firm hand and amusingly con-verts her from radical ideas is thatpopular player, Robert Young, and heand Miss Stanwyck make a comedycombination which, it is hoped, willbe seen again l soon. There is more tothe story of "Red Salute" than ap-pears on the surface, but that need.notworry the picturegoer who is simplylooking for laughs, for he will findplenty in this film, served up withspeed and intelligence, and with justthat dash of unexpectedness whichmakes the dish doubly appetising.From the moment when Miss Stan-wyck, as the general's daughter, ishustled cut of America and intoMexico to escape the influence of ayoung orator whose politics are deeplytinged with r&i,, and through the ad-»ventures which follow when she anaa youthful soldier (Robert Young)make a way across the border in astolen car, with the authorities in closepursuit, the action never slackens. Onemay feel a, little sorry for Hardie Al-bright as the radical orator, but withthe breezy and good-looking Young inthe cast, M is inevitable that the lat-ter should ivin the girl in the end.Cliff Edwards also enters 1into the funas the, very obliging owner of a motor-caravan, commandeered by the fugi-tives.' ■

"THE BISHOP MISBEHAVES"' ; * •' ■
Goldwyn-Mayer'snew production com-ing to the Regent Theatre on Friday,is an adaptation from one of the year'sbrightest-comedy stage hits, written byFrederick Jackjwra and*adapted>to:thescreen by Leon ?Gordonj On tfae stage,it was the starring vehicle for/WalterConnelly, on/the screen&scx EdmundGwen&r Thestpiy concerns the amus-ing mishaps of the kindly old bishopwho becomes involved- in a crime.Maureen iD'Siilttvan and Normal!;*E|osvter are featured; in the aromantic-leadsiThe'Cast also includes Lucille Watson;Reginald Owen, Dudley Digges, Lil-lian Bond, and others.
The picture has different settings—-the countryside of England and Lon-don. ' The story of an English girl whorevenges herself on a detestable oldvulture who has embezzled her father'smoney has many moments of humour.A bishop—reminiscent almost of G.K. Chesterton's "FatherBrown"—-comesinto the story after the girl has car-ried off a robbery. And the bishopproves himself a successful, even if avery lucky, detective.
"Page Miss Glory," which is at theRegent Theatre just now, is a comedyof the lightest kind, depending for itsentertainment value more on its situa-tions than on the, merit of the acting.Nevertheless, several stars have beengathered,together for the cast, and the 1acting, like the situations, is distinctlygood. Marion Davies plays the partof Loretta, a girl from a small AmerK!can town who goes to New York andobtains a position as a chambermaidin a high-class hotel.
TIVOLI
"I FOUND STELLA PARISH"
Emphasis on stars, or on a star, isapt to standardise production; but KayFrancis must be classed as a notableexception. She succeeds in each suc-ceeding film in bringing a freshnessand beauty to her dramatic actingthat entitles her to be classed as oneof the greatest dramatic atcresses infilm work; and "I Found StellaParish," which has been transferredfrom the Regent to the Tivoli, providesher with one of the greatest roles ofher distinguished career.
Kay Francis is supported by a verytalented cast, and honours must bedivided among several. The film pro-duces a six-year-old star, Sybil Jason,the simplicity ai.d sincerity of whoseacting is a delight. This little girlmade her debut last year in a filmwhich made a popular appeal in theUnited States.
The film is based on a simple butpowerful story of the tragic early lifeof a beautiful talented actress whois haunted by the ghost of a tragedywhich overshadowed her career on thestage when she was a girl.
Claudette Colbert's characterisationin the leading role of Paramount's psy-chological love drama, "Private Worlds,"which comes to the Tivoli on Friday,symbolises the plight of millions ofwomen who would rather dream aboutlove than face it in reality. A radicaldeparture from the roles she has playedin the past, Miss Colbert in "PrivateWorlds" is a capable woman doctor ina hospital for the insane, who con-centrates her love on the memory ofher sweetheart, killed in the war.
MAJESTIC
"STARS OVER BROADWAY"
The advent of. a new great vocal suc-cess is generally heralded with muchpropaganda* and occasionally it hasbeen overdone. This time James Mel-ton has been under-advertised, for therichness and fullness of his tenor voiceplaces him among the best of thosewho have made' musical films. Al-though he sings his way through al-most the entire length of "Stars OverBroadway," "which is having a seasonat the Majestic Theatre, the finalscene arrives and passes, leaving be-hind it that feeling which comes withpleasant surprises. From crooning togrand opera, James Melton displayeda range which was as full as that ofmost great tenors, and the numberslost nothing in their interpretation.
"Miss Pacific Fleet," which will be-gin at this theatre' on Friday, is acomedy of the most delightful kind.Chorus girls; stranded on the PacificCoast, and running a concession in anamusement park to try to earn moneyto pay their fares back to New York,would be likely, to have any amountof real fun. Here, they make littlemoney; but they fall into the way 01romance, which might be counted assufficient. Certainly it is more import-ant to the picture than is money. JoanBlondell and Glenda Farrell are pro-minent in the cast, supported by HughHerbert and Allen Jenkins.
A beauty contest allows for muchaction. There are warring elements,and there is also the necessary vil-lain, who has to champion his owngirl in the competition. A kidnappingis planned: but it goes delightfullyastray.
- MAYFAIR
GINGER ROGERS IN"IN PERSpN"
1 "In Person," which is at the Mayfair■ Theatre this week, gives GingeifRogersan opportunity to do more acting thanhas been possible in her recent musicalfilms with Fred Astaire. WithGeorge Brent playing oppositeher, the result ijs a most entertaining
' picture. The plot is an unusual one,opening as it does with Miss Rogersin the role of a famous film star, CarolCorliss, who has had a nervous-Break-down and is living in disguise. Notcontent with wearing a heavy veil, sheadopts an elaborate make-up whichgives her an unbelievably, unattractiveappearance -It is while thus dis-guised that she meets the nephew(George Brent) of an ojd friend of herphysician, and persuades him to takeher to his hut in the mountains.
An odd situation arises, complicatedby his discovery of who the lady reallyis when he sees her without her dis-guise, and by his refusal to admit thathe believes that she is the famous ac-tress when she at length • decides toappear "as herself. Now a long duelof wits between the two begins, andthe arrival of the former hero of herfilms (Alan Mowbray) in no way helpsmatters. Brent's main concern is to
I teach her to cook and keep house, but: even when she learns.to do so withsome success he is still not satisfied.Matters come to a head when shemakes him take her to the local theatrewhere one of her films is showing, and,while he is absorbed in the picture,slips away and after the curtain makesa personal appearance on the stage.In the meantime the simple mountainfolk, well represented by Old ManTweeney. are becoming agitated aboutthe preservation of decent appearancesin the village, and. when Brent de-cides to leave, the actress has littledifficulty in persuading them l to. makehim marry her at the point of a rifle.. The characterisation is very goodthroughout, and some of the minorcharacters, give fine Msformances insupport of the leading' players. Itmight be. added that Hhe. setting inthe-mountains provides,. fin? back-ground to the .film andjfe to ex-cellent photographic advantage.""".' , '"* > "'' :'

Few actors have achieved a repu-tation such as that which has beenearned by George Arliss, but- recentlytheatregoers have made the criticismthat the great actor is always thesame on the scraen-f»th*t instead ofmaking himself Jive *Xd& pa#>©J thecharacter he has to play;.be alters thepact to make it suit tour ;own /person-ality. This may have".been in hisprevious films; but in: "The Guv'nor,"which iis now / J&- its third;week- at the Statethis' charge cannot be -levelledagainst him, for the part hehe has to act is that of a decrepit oldtramp, with a philosophy of life thatmakes him prefer liberty td moneyand his peace of mind to anythingand he makes the tramp appear areal, living person and not merelyGeorge Arliss disguised.
The basis,of the film is a satiricalcomedy on the complications of abanking system, which apparentlyexists in some countries. As onewould expect in a film in whichArliss appears there are some dra-matic scenes. Probably the most re-markable is one in which Arliss at-tends a meeting of shareholders as afamous financier and endeavours topersuade those present not to selltheir shares to another company. Healmost succeeds in his object whenthere arrives at the meeting theprincipal shareholder, played byViola Keats, who refuses to accept theadvice of an old tramp, as she knowsthe man actually is.
PLAZA
"THE DIVINE SPARK"
A. film which may always be recalledwith pleasure is "The Divine Spark,"which is being shown at thePlaza Theatre. It has all the grace-ful elegance of life m Italy in theearly years of the nineteenth century,and the story is told with an artistryof acting and production that markonly an exceedingly fine picture.
There is much that can be praisedin this picture; As a story of a com-poser's life and rise to fame, it has,naturally, a wealth of music, but it isindeed remarkable among films ofthis type for the tasteful interpolationof this music. There is the glorioussinging of Marta Eggerth, the Hun-garian opera star, of Bellini's master-piece, "Casta Diva," of "Una Voce,"from Rossini's "Barber of SevUle," andof an aria from Bellini's "La Sonnam-bula," the opera which brought himcomplete success. , , „■
Whenever the name of Bing Crosbyis mentioned in connexion with afilm, it is a sure sign that one mayexpect—and find—sterling entertain-ment. Crosby's latest film, "Two forTo-night," which will be the next at-traction at the Plaza, finds the world'sgreatest crooner singing those songsarid winning female hearts as he hasdone in his previous successes. "Twofor To-night" introduces several newsong hits, and they are sure to beremembered long after the film hasbeen seen. The star is supported bya strong cast of artists, all of whommake the picture one of the bestand brightest of the Crosby series.
LIBERTY
SHIRLEY TEMPLE FILM
Shirley Temple, "the darling of twohemispheres," js at her lovable best in"Our Little Girl," which is in a sea-son at the Liberty Theatre. As thedaughter of parents who face mis-understanding, Shirley plunges bravelyinto emotional (adventure, and herbrave smile revives a waning love,•when sbe pteads for *her-motner to re-turn, and runs away from home to re-unite her parents. ■■*•■•
The other film, *Speed Wings," fea-tures Tim McCoy, Evalyn Knapp, andBrilyBakewell, From beginning to endthe story is full of interest, and showsmany daring and hair-raising thrillsin the air. It is not without itslighter side, however, and the comedysituations are a distinct relief to thetenseness of some scenes. ,
GRAND
DOUBLE FEATURE PROGRAMME
A bright, refreshing story of theWest is told in "Bobbers' Roost," theFox, Firms attraction which is co-screening with "Walls of Gold" at theGrand .Theatre. "Robbers' Roost" isnotable not only for the vigour of itsDlot, but for the fine cast assembled.With George O'Brien, Maureen'OSullivan, Reginald Owen, WilliamPawley, and Maude Eburne in the un-usually fine cast and the expert direc-tion of Louis King, "Robbers' Roost"ranks as one of the best Western pic-tures of srecent years.
"Walls .'.of Gold," which owes itsorigin to a.story by Kathleen Norris,treats a problem that has been troub-ling many modern young girls—-whether to accept love unquestionablyor to take the matrimonial offer ofthe highest bidder.
CIVIC
"SHE SHALL HAVE MUSIC*
After seeing "She Shall Have Music,"at present screening at the -CivicTheatre, one is left with only one im-'pression, that it is not only a_ triumphbut also a screen landmark.
Indeed, it is so near perfection thatit must be described as the greatestBritish production of its kind. It wasoriginally feared that a film of JackHyTton would "date" his music, andwould obscure the fact that he andhis band never mark time. "She ShallHave Music," however, does no suchthing. Rather, it brings before thepublic, a style and type of music thatis irresistible, and it is a gratifyingthought that at least the sound camerahas- caught Hylton and his players atthis stage of their attainments. Thefilm will, it is hoped, be the fore-runner of many others.
With the band there are severalartists whose names are almost as wellknown as the stars. When the playersgo on a tour of Europe in a million-aire's yacht, they appear at most ofthe important centres, later, going far-ther afield to the South Seas. On thetrm they meet with such specialtyartiste as Mathea, Merryfleld, MagdaNeeld, the Australian singer, the twoMackeys, Diana Ward, and Carmona,Terry's.Juveniles, the Leon Wolzikow-sky'g,ballet, and the Dalmora Can-CanDancers. These celebrities are an en-terteinment .in themselves, and withJack Hylton's music as a background,their items are doubly appreciated.Also in the cast are June Clyde andBrian Lawrence, Felix. Aylmer, Ed-mund Breon, Gwen Fairer, MarjorieBrooks, and Claude Dampier.The supporting programme of shortsubjects is also ot a high order.. Box plans are at the theatre.
WOOLSTON BAND PROGRAMME

"WHITE HORSE INN"'
- The very large number of applica-tions which have been jeceived at theDJ.C for the preferential bookingsfor J. C.' Williamson, Ltd.*s stupend-ous musical play, "White Horse urn,"which with its huge revolving stage,is to be presented for the first timehereat the Theatre Royal oh Saturday.February 22, is a certain indication thaimuch more than ordinary interest isbeing taken in the production whichproved oneof the most outstanding suc-cesses ever known at the LondonColiseum Theatre, and which in Auck-land, Wellington and other NorthIsland cities and towns has broken allknown records, even those establishedby "Chu Chin Chow" and "Rose!Marie." The present tour of 'White 'Horse Inn" has proved beyond alldoubt that playgoers of New Zealandhave still an affection for a legitimateplay, and one that appeals to themthey will patronise even more liberallythan ever they have done in the past.There is such a great variety of enter-taining features in "White Horse Inn"that it cannot fail to appeal to all sec-tions of the public, ana from a spec-tacular point of view nothing ap-proaching it has ever previously beenseen in New Zealand. The expenses totour' such a colossal production aretremendous, and the enterprise of J.C. Williamson, Ltd., in sending it toNew .Zealand thoroughly deservesevery success. Besides the 150 peoplewho are concerned in the representa-tion of "White Horse Inn," real goatsand pigeons have to be carried, and thevery humorous mechanical cows ai*ways create much iaughter. Thecompany includes 12 tiny tots, whoseballet work is a feature of the produc-tion. The management went to no endof trouble and expense in an endeav-our to assure that each charac-ter might be perfectly presented, an<fin this, judging by reports, they haveachieved their object, and the NewZealand performances have been morethan favourably compared with thosegiven at the Coliseum Theatre, Lon-don. The music in "White Horse Inn"is most atractive, and it is heard atits best when sung by Miss RomolaHansen, Herbert Browne, Colin Crane,Miriam Lester, Marie Conan, DaphneLow and other brilliant singers. An-other feature of "White Horse Inn" isits comedy, and it is said mat MessrsAlfred Frith; Don Nicol and AlbanMack have unlimited opportunities forcreating genuine and quite wholesomehumour. The cast also indues CharlesAlbert, Jeanne Battye, Peter Gordonand Master Greaves. The mechanists,electricians and technical experts fromSydney also play an important partin the production of "White HorseInn," as the new revolving stage andthe latest Continental lighting effectsare outstanding features of the pro-duction. It takes no less than a fullweek to erect the revolving stage andto effect necessary structural altera-tions to the theatre for the properpresentation of "White Horse Inn." Boxplans will be opened on Tuesday morn-

GOLF
GfIEENS ON HAGLEY- 1 COURSE
DISCUSSION AT ANNUALMEETING
Reference to the greens on the Hag-ley golf course Was made at the annualmeeting of the club by the captain,Mr C. Buchanan, who said that theycould not be properly dealt with tillthe club was allowed to fence theseareas. Mr T. W. Reese criticised thegreens provided last year. The greenssuperintendent, Mr D. E. Wood, saidin reply that it was unfair to comparethe Hagley greens with those of clubswhich were not hampered by sheep onthe courses. Fencing for approximatelya month only was a hardship thatmade it impossible to provide the classof green desired.
I - The meeting was well attended, andwas presided over by Mr C. H. W.White, the president.
The report stated that there hadbeen a decrease in membership of 24.For the first time in many years therehad been an excess of expenditureover income, the amount of excess be-ing £29 12s sd, after allowing £37 lis6d for depreciation.

Thechief decrease in income was in sub-scriptions, £59 6s 6d. The expendi-ture was £4 4s lid less than theprevious year. The financial position, ]however, was good, cash assetsamount- jing to £154 16s 4d, and .unpaid ac-lcounts to only £1 10s. |

FARM AND STATIONBY STRAGGLER
CANTERBURYLAMB
A STUDY OF BREEDINGMETHODS
SOME WEAKNESSES
(The following is the first part of anessay on "Some Factors in the Breed-ing of Canterbury Lamb," written byI. M. Brown, a degree student at Lin-coln College, who with the essay wonthe Hunter-Brown Challenge Cup. Theessay is a thoughtful and timely studyof a question much in the minds ofCanterbury fanners at present.- TheHunter-Brown Challenge Cup waspresented In 1934 by Mr C. H. Hunter-Brown, an old student of the collegenow resident in Australia, and isawarded for the best dissertation eachyear oh any'aspect or"sheephusbandrythat, has come under a student's noticeduring the year. The competition isopen both to diploma and degree stu-dents of the college. The award ismade and the examiners appointed bythe Old Boys'.Association.)
During the last year, not a littlepublicity'has been given to that para-mount question, the standard ofCanterbury fat lambi, the producthaving been quoted on the SmithfieldMarket at id—Jd less than some linesof North Island and Southland lamb.
At various gatherings, some speakershave affirmed and others have hotlydenied that the present standard is notequal to that of a decade ago. Whetheror not this condemnation i 9 actually thetruth would be difficult to determinefrom the opinions given and the datarevealed. However, it is hot necessaryto decide this point; but, that the pre-sent standard is relatively not as highas it has been, when viewed from thepoint of more exacting demands fromthe buyer on the export market, andwhen compared with the rapidly-im-proving standard of competitors, homeand foreign, seems to be finalised bythe evidence of prices.
Admitting that Canterbury,fat lambhas improved and still is improving, aconsideration of these factors wouldmake it appear that mere improvementis not sufficient to maintain, for theprovince, the coveted premiership inthe trade.If the Canterbury farmer is_produc-
ing the best lamb he can, under exist-in? environmental and economic con-ditions, the. present position is inevit-able. Even a casual analysis of meth-ods of lamb raising would make thisdoubtful, and would go to prove thatthe position might once more be re-versed, when such alarming statementsas the following, could no longer beprinted as true:—?
"It would appear that pride of placeamong imported lambs in the UnitedKingdom so long held by New ZealandCanterbury lamb has been lost, andwhile the best qualities of importedlambs, are still imported fvbm New Zea-land, there can no longer be obtainedthat premium in prices so long associ-ated with the description 'Canterbury.*"
Feeding to Cover FaultsThe Australian fat lamb breeder
notes with envy, of New Zealanders,that by feeding "they are able tocover up. many of the faults whichare evident in their lamb throughincorrectvbreeding and selection." Adenial ojt/this statement is impossibleand that the Canterbury farmer hasbeen guilty of the above, consciouslyor unconsciously, seems to explain, inoart or in full, the present position.It is hot suggested that the breed-ing aspect of the trade has beenreally neglected. Breeders have longrecognised that those desirable andnecessary characters, uniformity . ofcarcase and perfection of conforma-tion can only be attained throughthe channels of correct breeding prac-tice. What is suggested is that thisimprovement has been going enalong incomplete and in some casesincorrect lines.
Sire Improvement—a CompleteScheme
The quickest means of improvingany stock lies in the use of improvedsires. This has long been, the ac-cepted practice of those who fattenlambs for the export trade, and theuse of improved rams has gone onapace.
The development of the fat lambsire has reached that stage of pro-gress where neafly all farmers usepurebred rams of a few standardbreeds, known to leave lambs of cor-rect shape and fattening propensi-ties. The climatic conditions in muchof Canterbury are suitable for theuse of Southdown sires, and thesehave of late vears enabled Canter-bury to remain the premier fat lambproducing province. Climatic condi-tions in other areas have necessitatedthe use of somewhat inferior fatIsvmfe sires; for. producers in thOS'*districts which have surpassed Can-terbury this season, while previouslyenjoying better' rainfall with whichto grow fodder, have only recentlybeen successful 4n a general intro-duction of the Down 'breed. Theirsuccess can be correlated directlywith this introduction. While thissuccess under North Island andSouthland conditions may be short-lived, it should serve the useful pur-pose of impressing on the Canterburyproducer the fact that his position isnot beyond betterment, and. moreover,that the breeding of his fat lamb hasreached the sta*=re where improve-ment can no longer be brought aboutso easilv bv the use of better ramsas by attention to other factors—andthis for an obvious reason. In studflocks the use of better rams- influ-ences the female side .of. the flock,and so ewes kept for breeding as wellas the rams. emplovejd in subsequentmatings become a(better type, andImnrbved characters may be handeron from both male and female. Inthis case sire" improvement is analmost complete scheme in itself.;
Sire Improvement—An IncompleteScheme
With the fat lamb' it is different.Usually the sire is mated with a eweof entirely different breeding for theexpress purpose of producing a fatlamb, and any ewe lamb resultingfrom the mating, while of good con-formation herself, would most prob-ably be unsuited for breeding pur-poses, on. account- of her . mixedinheritance. In any case, such lambsro to the works, and the desirablecharacters of the' sire ' cannot behanded on through his female pro-geny to ewes in a'fat lamb flock, butonly to a purebred son, who will bemated in his turn to ewes no wayimproved by his predecessor, and re-cruited from one or several sources.
The ideal fat lamb can be bred inCanterbury only by this crossing ofa purebred sire with a ewe of dif-ferent type; so sire improvement,although of great importance, is onlyan incomplete scheme as- at presentcarried out-
Yet the first use of such rams wasso successful that all attention hasbeen given to their improvement, tothe exclusion of that other. importantsubject, the ewe.. It might almost besaid that many farmers have accepted'the- ewe a& the unimportant, • though
inevitable, medium through which their irams and fodder crops produce fatlambs. ,
This neplect of the fcmalp side ofthe 'flock h<w been so prevalsnt that Iiri"*en~rnl :'th's:-type h£a:not Improved,end ha* even degenerated. By Ineglect.'- is n^t--meant • disregard for |
' management, but a failure to appre- j
ciate and give weight to the fact thateach lamb owes part of its inherit-ance to the ewe, even though con-sidered as a whole the flock g&wi3half its inheritance from the r&m.
Progress ElsewhereThat Southland and; the North
Island are using Southdown ramsshould not cause to producebetter lambs than those found in thisprovince. This factor, plus someothers not present in Canterbury, hasbeen responsible for the advantage.While it might be claimed that betterfeeding conditions were mainly re-sponsible, it is reasonable to believethat the ewes mated to Southdownrams in those areas are of a superiortype to many ewes producing lambs
!in Canterbury. There seems to beevidence in support of this statement.
At present, much attention is beinggiven to the fat lamb industry inAustralia: In an article dealing withconditions in the two countries, anAustralian writer remarks that aswell as having an advantage as tofeed, New Zealand has and alwayswill have this additional point in herfavour:—Australia has to depend onthe merino ewe &s the basis of herfat lamb industry, while New Zea-land has. "mainly purebred Romneys.Leicester, and Romney cross ewes"from which to breed her lambs. Thismay be so. but is less true of Can-terbury than of either Southland orthe North Island. Judging by theewes sold at fairs in Canterbury overthe last 40 years, it appears thatthe merino blood, as represented inthe halfbred ewe. still plays a notunimportant part in lamb production.A comparative examination of thefollowing table would lead to the sameconclusion, even allowing for the factthat fat lambs are not raised "fromthese breeds in the exact proportionsgiven below.
DISTRIBUTION OF SHEEP BREEDS IN NEW ZEALAND.. (Not Stud Sheep).
Then accepting the Australian in-~fcrence as true, the contention,is borne ■but that the Canterbury flock ewes eve :in many coses inferior t0,:.0r cer- ■tainly' of a different breed type from, ithe majority of those.found in the ]other- districts.

HAWKE'S BAYWEATHER
Wettest Summer ForYears
SCARCITY OF SHEEP AND
CATTLE
(Contributed.)
Hawke's Bay has had .the best sum-mer for growth probably in the his-tory of the present generation, butthere are still plenty of growlers. Thewriter has made a practice of visitingHastings for a week every January,and for the last six or seven years thecountry has been so dry and burntup that farmers have been worriedabout their stock, 'xwelve months ago.the small graziers were afraid to buyrams at the ram fairs or ewes at theseveral ewe fairs owing 1 to havingnothing to feed them on, but thisyear the reverse is true. Sheep are un-usually scarce, ewes especially, andno doubt in the next week or two therewill be tidings from the Bay of re-cord ewe sales. The numbers of stationlines available for public competitionwill be exceptionally limited, and asnearly every small farmer is keen onhaving early lambs, one can imaginethe price they will have to pay forsuitable sheep. The price of aged fatewes during the summer has not beenvery remunerative, ranging from 10sto 14s, and in consequence many farm-ers have adopted the uncommon prac-tice of holding on to ewes that haveany sign of a tooth in their heads. Onegood Judge, Mr W. Richmond, prob-ably the bJggest buyer of fat stockextending over many years thatHawke's Bay has known, stated duringthe recent ram fair at Hastings that ifany ewes he handled as "fats" hadteeth enough to carry them over thewinter, he would hot kill them, buthold them for another breeding season.All this has been brought about by theover-supply of feed, which has got»be-yond the reach of every sheep farmerin the district. The trouble will be toget it down before the next spring,as there are practically no cattle, forsale in the country, and even the bigstation breeders are very short intheir numbers. In many past yearsthere has been a rush of big cattlefrom the Gisborne end, but the sameposition prevails in that area bothwith sheep and cattle.
Phenomenal RainfallThe rainfall for Hawke's Bay has
been phenomenal, and the country hasbeen at times waterlogged. It was theworst time of the year for such condi-tions, as stock went off about the NewYear and into January, and there, wasa distinct falling-off in the killings, atthe local freezing works, and lambs onrape received a big check, but with anassured prolific autumn growth, thecountry willbe able to cater for allthe sheep not handled by the fat buy-ers. One result of the wet season hasbeen the prevalance of foot-rot, whichis mostly felt on the heavy flat lands,or lands that are subject,to flooding orto the holding of moisture for anylength of time. It is not an uncommonsight at the present time to see bigflocks of ewes and even lambs affected.The disease, when it breaks out in aflock, soon spreads over a whole pad-dock, and the owner has to make useof a foot-rot trough several times aweek to keep the trouble in check.There have been cases, however, inwhich the germ has not been overpow-ered by the mere use of foot-rot cures,and the. problem, especially applicableto Hawke's Bay in a damp season, iscausing much concern to farmers onrich flats, of which there are thousandsof acres in the district. There havebeen instances in Hastings in the lastmonth of drafts of fat ewes from farm-ers two and three miles from thefreezing works, having to be taken onfloats to the works owing to their in-ability to walk out of the yards. Thetrouble has also spread this year tolighter country than the Hastings flats,but it has not been so severe, and regu-lar Vashings in the trough with thevarious brands of cures on the mar-
ket have at least kept the sheep ontheir feet.
Dairy Farmers FavouredThe only member of the farming
community in Hawke's Bay that seemshappy with the climatic changes is tnedairy farmer, wno has had no troublein feeding his herd, and has been ableat the same time to save more naythan ever before. The yield of butter-fat has been almost a record for tnemonths of December and January, anaWJJI also be high for February, and theprice received at the co-operative but-ter factories, plus the usual bonusespaid every three or six months, hasbeen, and will be, more remunerativethan for many years past. In fact, tnedairy farmer is beginning once moreto make ends meet. There is a big
shortage of good dairy stock, and in
contrast to the cull prices which haveprevailed for. good dairy heifers anacows during the last few years, buy-ers will have to pay high prices thisyear if they require stock to build uptheir herds. Milking Shorthorns havebecome very popular in Hawke's Bay,especially on the heaviest lands, asthey have proved themselves hardieranimals to withstand good and badseasons, are prolific milkers, and theirprogeny is always marketable. In fact,a sale was made a few months backof several heifers of a registered milk-ing shbrthopn stud. These went to thePalmerston district to be used soieiyfor breeding purposes—for the produc-tion of light beef suitable for chilling,an industry that is making great head-way in New Zealand, and will con-tinue to do so provided the right classof beef is handled.
A Ruinous VisitationThe storm which swept Hawke's Bay
recently caused most damage to orch-ards, but farm lands also suffered bythe effects of that visitation follow-ing on a very wet January. Grow-ers of grass-seed have fared theworst. This important section of farm-ing activties, which has made Hawke'sBay ryegrass almost famous in otherparts of New Zealand, especially inthe South Island, has received theworst set-back it has ever experi-enced. Following on a favourablespring, the crops were heavy, and borepromise of record yields, and there wasmany a farmer when he had his cropcut and cocked who had visions of abigger cheque than ever previously forhis output. Then the trouble began.Some paddocks yere threshed in theright condition, but 90 per cent, of thecrops were caught in rain. Then aftera few days' showery weather, inters-persed with heavy rain, the weatherwould clear, and the farmers wouldget to work turning their crops togive them an opportunity to dry inreadiness for the waiting threshingplants. In some cases, the mill startedoperations, but the weather wouldagain break, and so the same old pro-cedure of turning the seed over andover again, had to be followed. Therewere hundreds of acres of grass-seedout in 1 the paddocks when the bigstorm arrived, and a good portion ofit was turned over, so the damage canwell be imagined. It is safe to say thatvery little will now be saved, andthe unfortunate farmers, who haveyearly depended a great deal on theirgrass-seeu and clover cheques, willhardly get enough to pay the expensesof harvesting.
Little Surplus ExpectedNo doubt when the harvest has
eventually been cleaned up, there willbe a fair amount of grass-seed in theBay, but there will be very little forsale to the south as in previous years,and those farmers in the Canterburydistrict who shut up paddocks thisseason should be well repaid. Similarlythere will be very little clover fromthe north, so that prices should againbe influenced. '
PLANT RESEARCH
ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO BESET UP
Support for a proposal that an ad-visory committee be set up to assist inthe working of the plant research jstation at Palmerston North was givenat a meeting of the Board of Gov-ernors of Canterbury AgriculturalCollege yesterday. The proposal wasthat the committee should consist oftwo representatives of the Depart-ment of Agriculture and the principalsof Lincoln College, Massey College,and the Cawthron Institute. A letterfrom the Department of Agriculturestated that the proposal was put for-ward with the idea of ensuring thatmoney spent in plant research in theDominion should be expended in thebest way. \
Mr C. H. Hewlett, chairman of theboard, said that the value of the planwas that it avoided duplication andarranged co-ordination of plant re-search in Hew Zealand.
There were present: Messrs C. H.Hewlett (chairman), W. O. Rennie, H.S. S. Kyle, M:P., M. E. Lyons, J. R.D. Johns; G.'F. Wright, and the Hon.D. Buddo. An apology was receivedfrom Mr W. A. Banks.
It was reported that a party of 26English and 21 South African farmerswould visit the college on March 13,and spend a day inspecting its work.The director. Dr. F. W. Hilgendorf,said that, by special excursion train, aparty of 200 Otago farmers would visitthe college and inspect the work done.
VETERINARY TEACHING
TEMPORARY ARRANGEMENTAT LINCOLN COLLEGE
An officer of the Department of Ag-riculture is at present teaching veter-inary classes; at Canterbury Agricultu-ral College, it was reported at yester-day's meeting of the Board of Gover-nors of the College. Mr C. H. Hew-lett, chairman of the board, said thatan arrangement had been entered intowith the'department under which theservices of a member of the office staffwere lent, for an indefinite period, tothe college,; ;
It was decided to thank the depart-ment for its assistance.
Since the beginning of season 1935r36, business has been particularly goodand almost 20,000,000 bushels of Aus-tralian wheat have been sold overseas.The United Kingdom has taken themajor portion, and Japan Has also heen
THE WEATHER ATLINCOLNAGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
SUMMARY
The,summary of the weather and thecondition of crops and pastures for the-month of January, issued by the Can-terbury Agricultural College, Lincoln,is as follows:
In January'both the maximum tem-peratures and the rainfall were belowthe average, while the minimum tem-peratures arid the amount of cloud wereabove normal. The dull weather hin-dered harvesting slightly. Most of thecrop has been cut and some threshed.Yields promised to be very good, butwill be a little below expectations be-cause the grain is a little parched bylack of moisture during filling andripening. Pastures have little freshgrowth and fodder crops require rainto keep them going and to ward, offattacks by insect pests.
The following meteorological sum-mary, is supplied (figures for the corre-sponding month last year, in paren-thesis):—
Mean height of barometer, 29.840(29.813); mean humidity, 68.8 (60.8):mean maximum temperature, 71.0<76.1); highest maximum temperature,80.6 (92.4); mean minimum tempera-ture, 53.4' (56.1); lowest minimum tem-perature, 42.5 (42.8); mean grass mini-mum temperature, 46.8 (50.1); lowestgrass minimum temperature, 31.0(34.3).; meah temperature for month,62.2 (66.1); mean range of temperaturefor monthj 17.6 (20.0); mean earth tern'perature, 64.2 (66.8); rainfall, 103in(1.50); hours of sunshine, 199 (212);mean amount of cloud, 7.7 (7.1); milesof wind, 3702 (4257); mean force ofwind. 3.2 (3.1).
REPORT OF FARMMANAGER
LINCOLN COLLEGE WORK INJANUARY
The report submitted by the farmmanager, Mr R. Fougere, on farm workdone at Lincoln College during Janu-ary, presented to members of the Boardof Governors of the college yesterday,said that the weather had been verywarm and dry. Feed had gone off inthe grass land, and rain was needed tobring on grass and clover. Root cropswere making slow growth. The pur-chased lambs had been weaned and puton rape. The purchased ewes had beenculled and approximately 70 taken out,some to go into the crossbred , flock,seme to be sold, and some to be killedfor mutton. A total of 215 lambs weredrafted for the works from the cross-bred flock at Ashley Dene. The eweshad been mouthed and culled. Ap-proximately 130 were sound and some550 or 600 ewes should be bought tobring the farm up to normal.
The report also gave a listof crops reaped and stooked inthe month as follows:—Alger-ian oats in three fields, Garton oats intwo, Hunters wifceat in two, Tuscanwheat in two. Cross 7 wheat intwo, and barley in one. A field inoats and vetches had been mown andthreshed, the yield being 28 bushels anacre. A field in Partridge peas hadbeen mown and threshed for a yield of31 bushels, and another in Italian rye-grass had been threshed at a yield of42 bushels an acre, with six bushelsin the bags. Perennial ryegrass, whichwas mown was picked up and threshedby a contractor, the yield being 51bushels an acre off the machine. Thecost worked out at Is Id a bushel.
The report, part of which was notavailable to the newspapers, wasadopted.
CONGRATULATIONS TOMINISTER
VETERINARY STUDENTS'SCHOLARSHIPS
A decision to congratulate the Minis-ter for Agriculture, the Hon. W. LeoMartin, on the promptness with whichhe had acted upon the suggestion thatscholarships at the University of Syd-ney should be given veterinary stu-dents in New Zealand, was made atyesterday's meeting of the Board ofGovernors of Canterbury AgriculturalCollege.
Mr H. S. S. Kyle, M.P.. said that forthe last five or six years he had beenrequesting the Government to providebursaries for veterinary study. In thepast it had been found necessary toimport veterinarians to New Zealandwhile the Government was givingscholarships for other scientific studies.To-day the Government, on the adviceof the colleges and others, had de-cided to grant a number of scholar-ships, five of which would begin thisyear. The number of students now of-fering made it certainly clear thatthere had been a great need in thepast.
New Zealand was now following thesame plan as Australian states in de-ciding to send students to Sydney toqualify-as veterinarians. There had"been, many applications, M.x Kyle said.,and it had been suggested that the finalchoice of the students to go should bemade by ballot.
On Mr Kyle's motion, supported byMessrs W. O, Rennie and D. Buddo, itwas decided to send a congratulatoryreport to -the Minister.

POULTRY KEEPINGFOR PROFIT
BEST LAYERS
(By "LEGHORN.")
Frequently I hear the question asked,"Which breeds are the best layers?"And again people often say' that suchand such a variety lay small eggs.Generally speaking it is practically im-possible to ftcpress ah opinion withany degree of certainty upon the sub-
ject, as in practically all breeds thereare certain strains which are poor, pro-ducers, or producers of small eggs. Toemphasise this fact I recall purchasingsome time ago two pens of Light Sus-sex. One pen produced very small eggsand the other particularly large eggs,yet both pens were purebreds. It ispossible to procure good strains of al-most any breed, and it is also possibleto purchase poor strains of the samebreeds.
Assuming that the average- personwho keeps poultry does so for the, sakeof the eggs they produce, it is funda-mentally important to secure birds ofproved laying ability. A, good layercosts little, if any, more to feed-thana poor layer, and with the good strainsavailable to-day, there is little excusefor poultry-keepers keeping inferior-quality birds. •.
Value of Egff Laying TestsAll poultry-keepers have an oppor-
tunity :>f testing their birds for eggproduction by competing in the egg-laying competitions. It is possible toenter any nuiffber, of birds at -the.Papanui competiti4§& and it is sur-prising the number of competitors whdhave gained awards at their first at-tempt Even if the competitor is notsuccessful in gaining a prize, the re-sults of the test give valuable infor-mation concerning the - producingcapacities or his bird or toirds. it islargely because of the informationsecured from the competitions that thegreat improvement «ias resulted inthe utility breeds in the Dominion.Success in poultry keeping dependsupon minimum production costs andmaximum egg-production. Perusal ofthe weekly competition returns willclearly indicate the breedersstock are likely to give good results.
It is interesting to theseasonal egg production which can' beexpected from a good strain of pulletsThe following table gives the- produc-tion month by month recorded, from336 pullets under test at Papanui:—

32Breeding Cockerels., .
Most poultry keepers have doubt-less retained the pick of their cockerelsfor this year's breeding, and it is wellto see that these birds have; full op-portunity for'development."Frequently <the cockerels are confined in a com-paratively small pen, .and they do notget the sarne attention as the pullets.It is usual when a number of-cockerelsare confined in a small pen for themto fight, with the resiilt .that' some 'ofthe birds get badly knocked about,and unless, they have a run wherethey can escape from the sight of theirtormentors, they are liable to be killed.Whenever possible let your cockerelshave a run to scratch- in. feed' themwell, aot forgetting that, they requiregreen feed the same as' the pullets.'
Moulting $'n 'Many hens" are - how beginning 'to
shed their feather's.- It does jrtot neces-sarily follow that .me earlier ,a birdmoults the earlier it will be. back inproduction.' Very often birds: thatmoult at the end of March'finish theirmoult and resume laying before, birdswhich began to moult Febru-ary!-. I make' a rule ofbullingwhich moult' during February,' thfttis;of course; unless4 the;b,irds 'are reqyir&Jfor special breeding. The latermoulters usually possess a stfongerconstitution, first/because, con-tinue to- lay* well iiritb Marchu, andsecond when they do moult, they moult
heavily and' cast nearly ■ all- -their
feathers in a few days, whereas theearly moulters are gradually sheading;ihe feathers over a long period v«ndduring that period it is natural* forthem to be out of profit It is necesrsary to pay strict attention birdswhen they are moulting, as there is adistinct danger of the.birds being over-fed and becoming > too fat. However,.this subject will be v dealt t with, in-alater article. ' < ■

I sire has reached that stage of pro-1 gress where neaif ly all farmers use1 purebred rams of a few standardI breeds, known to leave lambs of cor-1 rect shape and fattening propensi-■ ties. The climatic conditions in much1 of Canterbury are suitable for the
■ use of Southdown sires, and thesehave of late vears enabled Canter-burv to remain the premier fat lambproducing province. Climatic condi-tions in other areas have necessitatedthe use of somewhat inferior fatIsvmfe sires; for. producers in thOS'*districts which have surpassed Can-terbury this season, while previouslyenjoying better' rainfall with whichto grow fodder, have only recentlybeen successful 4n a general intro-duction of the Down "breed.

INDICTMENTSINCREASESUPREME COURT SJSSSJGN
MR JUSTICE NORTHCROFT'SCOMMENT
An increase on the usual number ofindictments and a preponderance ofsexual charges,wera commented on by,Mr Justice Northcroft in his addressto the grand Jury at the opening yes-terday of the auarterly criminal ses-sions of the Supreme Court in Christ*church.
.,' .'
"'
"Unfortunately, there is for • yourconsideration a somewhat longer listof indictments than is usual in Christ-church,"'said his Honour. "And-un-fortunately, too," he added, "thereseems to be an undesirable proportionof sexual charges among them."
True bills were found by the grandjury on all indictments except that ofJohn Sheehan (Mr D.. W. Russell) ona charge of forgery..
Verdict of Not Guilty'Patrick McGirr, a butcher, aged 51,
of Simeon street (Mr V. G. Spiller),pleaded not guilty to breaking andentering by night the warehouse otT. H. Green and Company, Ltd., withintent to commit a crime. The offencewas alleged to have taken place onOctober 26, 1935.
The Crown Prosecutor (Mr A. T.Donnelly) said the proprietors of T.H. Green and Company, Ltd., had sus-Sected that thefts were going on from
le factory, and late on the night ofOctober 26, two detectives and themanager of the factory went to thepremises and hid. Eventually the ac-cused and another matt namedClarkwere heard moving about, and wheninvestigations were made, the accusedand Clark were seen hiding in thesmoke-house. Clark was arrested, butMcGirr escaped. He was interviewedby the police later that night and ad-mitted that he had gone to the factory,but denied that he had gone there tosteal anything. Clark, he/said, hadgone there to get some gear belongingto him, and had asked accused toaccompany him,: McGirr said he hadnot realised anything Was wrong untilhe had got inside the factory.
Clark had been of break-. tag and entering the warehouse, plead-ing guilty to the offence. Clark hadclaimed that he and McGirr had ar-ranged to go to the factory ,to stealsome bacon for their joint use. MrDonnelly said that McGirr's explana-tion was incredible.
Clark, in evidence, said he had toldMcGirr that he was going td the fac-tory to get some gear. Later; he men-tioned that they could get some baconthere, McGirr was not enthusiasticabout going.
McGirr said, in evidence, that he hadno intention of stealing bacon. He andClark had been drinking for abouttwo hours and he was too muddled tothink.
After a short retirement, the juryreturned with a verdict of not guilty.
Sexual OffendersPitau Panirau, who was represented
by Mr J. R. Hampton, pleaded guiltyto unlawful carnal knowledge of agirl of 15, at the Chatham Islands. Hewas admitted to probation for twoyears, and ordered to pay the costs ofthe prosecution amounting to £2l 3s.
Daniel O'Connell (Mr H. H. Hanna)pleaded guilty to a charge of indecentlyassaulting a girl aged 13, at Christ-church: He pleaded not guilty to acharge of carnally knowing the samegirl. .This charge was hot proceededwith by the Crown after O'Connell hadpleaded guilty to the other charge,
O'Connell was remanded for sen-tence. Bail was refused.
Six separate charges of incest, al-leged to have been committed at Sef-
, ton #nd Balcalrn,-between Apnl, 1931;and December, 1935, were preferredagainst John Philnot Wilson, a, ffirmefiAfter la- retirement of three-quartersof an hour, the jury returned with averdict of guilty. Wilson was re-manded for sentence. VV
Other True BillsApart from the cases heard yester-
daytrue bills were found against GordonStewart Barr (Mr D. W. Russell), Rob-ert Drinkwater (Mr W. R. Lascelles),and Charles Roland Talbot (Mr Las-celles). Barr and Drinkwater arecharged with attempted rape, twocounts being preferred against Drink-water. Talbot is charged with attempt-ing to discharge a revolver at a personwith intent to do grievous bodily harm.
FALSE PRETENCECHARGE
ALLEGED ATTEMPT TOEXTORT MONEY
SUPREME COURT HEARING
On an indictment that he had at-tempted to obtain £6O from the parentsof a'civil servant who was under arrestfor theft from the Post and TelegraphDepartment, by falsely representingthat there was an additional shortage,William Alexander Welsh, a tea-canvasser, appeared for trial in theSupreme Court yesterday. It was
. claimed by the prosecution that Welshhad told the parents that if they paidthe, amount of the alleged shortagewithin three days, no additional chargewould be made. The accused, who wasrepresented by Mr A. C. Brassington,pleaded not guilty. The hearing was•commenced yesterday afternoon, andwhen the court adjourned, the evidencefor-the.Crown had not been com-pleted. Mr Justice Northcroft was onthe bench.
Presenting the case for the Crown,Mr A. T. Donnelly said that on Oc-tober 14 last year, Welsh went to thehome of Mr and Mrs William LeslieBaker, the parents of .WilKajn Baker,who was then awaiting-*, sentence fortheft from the Post Office.asked Welsh, who had been calling, ather-house for some time, if he couldfind her son a few days' work to takehia mind off his troubles.. She 'dis-cussed her. son's case with him. Three
„
dayslater, Welsh called again, and pro-. duced a letter'which.he said had been
sent to him by a friend in the postoffice. This letter said that the friendhad discovered an additional short-age of £6O. If this shortage was notmet, it might mean a sentence offour or five years' hard labour. Thefriend.said he would repay the moneyhimself, but he could not afford to doso. However, if the money was paid,the matter could be fixed up so thatnothing more would be heard of it.
Discussion With Parents'While Welsh was still there, Mrs
Baker's husband arrived, and .the mat-ter was discussed with him. In the end,it was, arranged that the parents'should
. try to find the money and let Welshknow. After the son had been sen-tenced, Welsh called- again, and theparents told him. they thought he wasa blackmailer, and that they would goto the:police,
,Mr Donnellyclaimed that. Welsh hadmade a shabby and clumsy attempt toextort money from Mr and Mrs Baker,and, that his actioh in approaching MrsBaker when she was so disturbedabout,her son was contemptible.
' Evidencealong the lines indicated by.• the Crown's opening was .given by Mrs
Sadie Baker. To Mr Brassington, the, witness said that Welsh had at no time>/asked her to pay him money. He had
said he would put herself and her' hushand in,; touch with the man whoVWJ*'fteld.Jtf have written the letter.

COLLAPSE UNDERANAESTHETIC
EVIDENCE OF HEARTFAILURE
DOCTORS' EFFORTS FAIL
A verdict that Mrs Sybil MaryLaurie. 125 Glandovey road, Fendal-ton, died at Chrtstchureh on January18 from heart Xailure, the result ofmyocarditis accelerated, by • anaes-thesia, was given by the coroner, MrF. F. Reid, yesterday at the inquest.Mrs Laurie died during the adminis-tering of an anaesthetic.
Dr. L. B. Stringer said that beforeadministering the anaesthetic he dis-cussed the details of the case with Dr.Simpson and made the usual enquiries.The anaesthetic was given in the usualmethod, induction of anaesthesiabeing done slowly. The patient wasnot completely under the anaestheticwhen he noticed distress on her partand her breathing stopped. She re-commenced breathing after artificialrespiration and no more anaesthetic,was given. Breathing again stoppedand' more artificial respiration Wastried, togetherwith cardiac.stimulantsand other restorative measures, all ofwhich failed. They worked on thepatient for more than half an hour.
In answer to the coroner, Dr.Stringer said that the condition of theheart was not disclosed by the cus-tomary examination. He was presentat the post-mortem.
Dr. W. H. Simpson said he attendedMrs Laurie a few days after Christ-mas, when she had a high tempera-ture. The condition was ascribed toInfluenza, but a few days later shewas no better. She had rib abnormalheart, lung, or kidney symptoms asfar as he could determine. Tempera-ture and sickness continued, and heconsulted Dr. Stringer. They decidedthat if they were to diagnose the con-dition, the patient must be completelyrelaxed under an anaesthetic, but shewas not fully under the anaestheticwhen breathing stopped. Artificialrespiration was given for half an hour,and a heart stimulant Was also ad-ministered.
"I am satisfied that Mrs Laurie hadevery care and attention, and that allprecautions were taken before theanaesthetic was administered," saidthe coroner in giving his finding.
THEFT ON INCREASE
COMMENT BY AUCKLANDMAGISTRATE
[THE PRESS Special Service.]AUCKLAND, February 11.A statement that theft was unfor-tunately on the increase while other
crimes were diminishing, was madeby Mr Wyvem Wilson, S.M., in theMagistrate's Court at the end of a casein which two young women were ad-mitted to probation for theft.
Mr J. J. Sullivan, on their behalf,asked'the Magistrate to make an orderfor the suppression of their names,counsel mentioning that neither hadbeen in any trouble previously.
In refusing the order, Mr WyvernWilson remarked that the womenWould have to live down the matter.
"The crime of theft is so appallinglycommon in New Zealand," he added."It is on the increase in New Zealandwhile crimes of violence are decreas-ing." •'
.■.-•.• . \
Mr Sullivan: The increase you men-tion, sir, I think is due to the economicstress the country has been passingthrough.
"No, I, do not think so," replied MrWilson. "Statistics show .that thefthas been increasing for years—evenbefore the war."

LEGAL AID FOR THEPOOR
PROVISION MADE IN NEWZEALAND
Methods by which the poor in NewZealand may receive legal assistancewere described to a reporter of "ThePress" yesterday by a Chrlstchurchsolicitor, to whom was referred a mes-sage from England, which was printedyesterday and. which said that theHigh Court poor persons' procedurehad now been carried out voluntarilyfor 10 years by the Law "Society, to-gether -Willi tbe provincial law socie-ties representing ihe solicitors'profes-sion. In that period about 52,000 ap-plications' had been considered, and16,000 actions had been conducted, inthe great majority,of ca%es.success-fully and entirely gratuitously for pawpersons. . ,
'lt ;was explained by the solicitor thatthe English procedure was the subject
of Supreme Court rules made in 1925.and added to from time to time until1934. A poor person must first obtain
\ a certificate from the local law so--1 ciety saying that he was not' worthi more than £SO (or in special cases,
; £100), excluding wearing-apparel and1 tools of trade; neither must the weeklyincome be more than £2, or £4 inspecial cases. There were also certainsubsidiary conditions.
In New Zealand there were similarprovisions, though they were not ad-ministered by the Law Society. Theyapplied to divorce and.criminal casesand civil cases on appeal. In divorcecases, the poor person must have acertificate from counsel, and it was arule., that, in cases of forma pauperis,solicitor's fees must not amount tomore than £5. In criminal cases, theprisoner must have leave from thejudge to have counsel aasignea -to himand the Crown pays the ctat M theprisoner's defence.^
The rules alio allow the right to ap-peal in civil cases in forma pauper!*,but only where the heating in thelower - court has gone against: thepauper. The person so wishing to ap-:peal must.prove that he is not worth,more than £25, excluding his wear*
ing apparel. The court may, if neces-sary, assign counsel to assist thepauper, and the counsel must take thecase unless he can satisfy the courtthat he has good reason for refusingit No counsel is permitted to acceptany fee, profit or reward for his ser«vices in court In these cases.
Thiß solicitor considered that therewas little chance of injustice beingdone to a pauper through there beingno provision for assisting him in civilcases in which he was required todefend an appeal. Most'.solicitorswould, be only too willing to .finish acase in which they had received judg-ment in the lower court

THE WHEAT PLANTO TH« EDITOI 07 TH* TBEB9.
Sir,—The Labour plan for the guar-anteeing or fixation of prices forwheat, flour, and bread ha's withinlimits my hearty support—and I havebeen a wheat grower all my life. Ifit succeeds in removing from thewheat industry some of the factors thathave made it in the past something ofa gamble rather than a reasonablespeculation, it will be to the good ofall.
But I am somewhat puzzled by somefeatures of the scheme. For example,in your summary of the scheme youstate among the main points that thefarmer will receive an average of 4s4*d a bushel on trucks. How does thatsquare with this further statement?—"Differential prices have been fixed forwheat milled in South Island millsand in North Island mills respectively.The average price for the new season'swheat represents an increase of 5Jd abushel over the average price for thelast three seasons. This is expectedto average 4s 9d f.o.b. Tuscan, Marchdelivery."
Now what I would like to know iswhether farmers are being paid 4s 41don trucks or f.o.b. In many wheatareas there are local mills and farmerssometimes prefer to deliver" at thelocal mill. What price will they getin that case? Will they get only f.o.b.price, though carriage of the wheat tothe mill relieves them of freight orrailage? In that case it seems to bedistinctly unfair to the local farmer.—Yours, etc.,

PUBLIC WORKS10 111* EDITOR OT TUB I'UESS
Sir,—l have read with interest yourleading and business-like articles onthe different schemes propounded, andcongratulate you on these articles. Into-day's issue you seem nervous abouthow much money is to be spent onpublic works. Perhaps you will recol-lect that just before the last electionthe last Government came out with apublic works scheme for spending£20,000,000. Nov/ what is wrong withthis Government spending money onpublic works provided the money isfpent on productive work? The mostreasonable men will surely agree thatthe wheelbarrow-day is finished. Criti-cism of the unemployed has been thatthe barrow work has been put againstup-to-date equipment and contractors'work. I have heard public works en-gineers state that unemployed menwere too costly; and probably that hasbeen so with the antiquated equipmentthat has been given them to do the job.■Half the South Island is still withoutcheap electric power. Any bankwould give credit on a sound schemeof power supply, but let it be cheapenough 30 that people can use it. Donot make it a burden round theirnecks.
The fact that Mr Semple intendsspending money on productive work&uch as railways and electricity shouldnot necessarily be alarming providedtbe gooes are put there for the moneyImpended. It certainly is in very strong•Dntrast to the last Government'sItflcy, whereby £12,000,000 of unem-ployed money spent showed such un-
practical results, or. in other words,
was wasted. ..
Give these new men a try, and if, asthe Hon. D. G. Sullivan says, after threeyears they are incompetent, we havethe option of putting them out-Yours,etc" G.S.

THE HON. D. G. SULLIVANTO TUB BDITOE Of TH« riRS3.
Sir,—The Hon. D. G. Sullivan's vale-dictory statement on the eve of hisvacating the office of Mayor of Christ-church is a revelation of the worthof a very fine gentleman. With u re-straint and self-effacement that arecharacteristic of the man. he glossesover his own part in the last fiveyears of stress and strain. It is evi-dent that Mr Sullivan was speakingunder a deep feeling of emotion. Thereis. no need to recapitulate here allthat Mr Sullivan has done for the cityand for the people. One word hasbeen his watchword—service.
While the courtesy of your paperin giving Mr Sullivan the opportunityto express his feelings is greatly ap-preciated, there are many of yourreaders who feel that the caricatureused to embellish (?) the article wasin decidedly bad taste. Caricature isa splendid thing in its place, and nonewould enjoy it more than Mr Sullivanwhen, correctly used. Surely a senseof the fitness of things has not beenlost in an office with such high tradi-tions as "The Press."
Now that Mr Sullivan has finallyrelinquished the duties of Mayor, forthe wider duties of a Minister of theCrown, it would be an act of graceif the citizens of Christchurch werepublicly to demonstrate to him theirappreciation of his work and service.Mr Sullivan would be the first todeprecate such a suggestion. I feel,however, that Mr and Mrs Sullivanhave earned the gratitude of Die peopleand some recognition of their serviceshould be made.—Yours, etc.,

LABOUR AND BUREAUCRACYTO TUB EWTOJt OF THE I'BESB.
Sir,—The initial mistake of theSocial Democrats in Germany—a mis-take which facilitated the rise of fas-cism—was the mistake embodied in
the fact that after gaining politicalpower they permitted and strength-ened the power of the bureaucracy—-a bureaucracy of civil service officersand boards which were built rounda belief that capitalism was, and is,the last stage in social evolution.
While the politically educated sec-tion of the working class in New Zea-land will welcome the action of theLabour party in Government in mak-ine an early start in the distributionof "running shoes" to the .variousboards, we must bear in mind thatboards are only a portion of ourbureaucracy. Even if the Labourparty is concerned only with curing
the evils of capitalism, whilst re-taining the basis of those evils, itwill find the bureaucracy a ternhchindrance; while if the Labour partyintends to make a conscious and di-rected effort to attain the next logicalttep in social evolution (i.e., social-ism) it will find that our bureaucracyis a' positive menace. The Labourparty in its initial moves, after gain-ing political power, has already shownthat its promise to attack the bureau-cracy was no idle promise. If theLabour party continues in its attackupon bureaucracy, and replaces un-
sympathetic administrative officialswith men who hold the ideals andaspirations of socialism and who arcsympathetic towards the Labour partyand its policy and aim, there will beno need for the party to appeal to- theworkers for further support, becausethat support will be at its elbowready and willing to help in thestruggle for economic and social eman-cipation.-Yours, etc.,

POST OFFICE SERVICEIW *
#
TO Til* EDITOB Of TBS J'BESS.
Sir —Correspondence about PostOffice service will no doubt be pro-ductive of some improvement if theMinister in charge of the departmentis made acquainted with the com-plaint. Let your correspondent see toit that he is informed. It is evidentlittle can be expected from the localhead, judging from his remarks in thefootnotes to correspondence.
The question of queueing up is aburning one. It is evident the ChiefPostmaster is personally unacquaintedwith the position.
As to the complaint of discourtesy,does the complainant want kowtowingor lickspittle attention with hisstamps? During many years of con-stant contact with postal officers Ihave never had a single instance ofdiscourtesy. On the contrary. I havemet with nothing but a patient cour-tesy, and desire to be of assistance.I think this is generally conceded,even by those who quarrel with"officialdom" in the heads.I have the same complaint as your
correspondent, "Bashful," in this morn-ing's issue concerning the barrier atfhe stamp counter, and for the samereason I shrewdly suspect the charm-ing ladies behind that barrier arehidden from view.—Yours, etc.,
ANOTHER BASHFUL ONE.February 11. 1936.
JAPAN AND SOCIAL CREDITTO THE BDJTO* OV TW» PRKSS.
Sir,—A short reply to Messrs Thomasand Davie. I still submit that the con-sensus of authoritative opinion is tothe effect that labour charges are afactor in Japanese commercial ascend-ancy. Authorities are numerous. Spacealone confines me to the following:—Professor Taid O'Conroy in his book,"The Menace of Japan": "Female tex-tile workers receive less than a pennya day. More often than not womenworkers have been sold into slaveryfor the benefit of their parents. Theybecome the slaves of their owners, whofarm them out. The food is inade-quate; sleeping accommodation over-crowded, and they are often chastised.The percentage of slave workers insome factories is as high as 50 per cent."This is a recent publication and Pro-fessor O'Conroy lived for many yearsin Japan, lecturing at the Keio Uni-versity. Curtis Vinson, in a recentarticle published in Christchurch. at-tributes Japan's rise in the textile in-dusfry to rationalisation, efficiency, andtrustification. Mr Vinson personallyundertook a survey of the industryand he has the following significantwords to say about labour charges:—"Operating costs of the JaDanese millsare less than those of the Chinese. TheJapanese wage scale is possibly a littlehigher, but fewer operatives to themill are required." According, there-fore, to this writer, wages are possiblya little higher than those paid to thesweated workers in the Chinese textilemills of Shanghai. From an articlerecently published in the "SaturdayEvening Post": "Wages in the textileindustry in the United States are 50-45cents an hour compared with 2-4 centsin Japan."
A relative of mine recently returnedfrom Japan has first-hand informationas to sweated labour conditions there.Leaving her hotel at dawn on a hiking
trip, she would see whole families, in-cluding children of very tender age,hard at work assembling and paintingtoys, bicycles and other goods. Thefamily would be still at work whenshe returned late in the evening. Shegot to know several of the children,and every day for three weeks shesaw them at work. She ascertainedthat families earned only sufficient toafford them a bare living. Cheapsweated labour is one good reason whyJapanese toys are to be found in mostChristchurch nurseries.
Mr Davie Cites the Czechoslovakia!!boot industry in support oi mass pro-duction economy, but I can also citeit in support of cheap labour charges.Bata was not hampered by a truck act.His workers were not unlike army pri-vates: found in all things with pocketmoney thrown in. I am inclined toagree with Mr Thomas: "The main rea-son why Japan can under-sell anyother nation is because she gives asubsidy on all exports."* But a subsidyis not a social dividend, as I under-stand it. Mr Barclay-Smith assumesthat this subsidy results from theunderstanding of credit power, orDouglas social credit as Mr Thomas hasit. Again I ask. what direct evidenceis there of a metamorphosis of a sub-sidy into a social dividend?
Mr Davie is more to the point. Hisassumption is probably right that themilitary party has forced the govern-ment to pay the large exporting com-bines subsidies derived from crushingtaxation. I will admit that the major'sworks have been translated into Japan-ese, but will Mr Davie tell me whatdirect evidence is forthcoming thatDouglas credit has been put into prac-tice in Japan? .
In conclusion, I still maintain thatMajor Douglas has little to say abouteconomic rationalisation or planning,and strangely I have never seen onereference to the Russian economic sys-trm Douglasites I notice shy offRussia at once. Js the reason becausethe majors books were not trans-lated into Russian, with the result thaithe Soviet lost the opportunity of do-ing what Messrs Thomas and Davie askus to believe the Japanese have done?—Yours, etc., _
TNIPPON.February 11, 1936.
TO THB KMTOR Of XBX, I'EESS.
Sir,—"Nippon" makes a very dis-arming introduction to the above ques-
tion, but reveals his unmistakable biaslater in his letter. He charges C. Bar-clay-Smith, the editor of the "NewEra," with giving certain data in aspecial article on Japan without giv-ing any supporting evidence, and adds:"This seems to be a characteristic ofall arguments for the Douglas creditsystem." That, at any rate, places"Nippon" himself where he certainlybelongs. In making such a sweeping,biased and utterly untrue chargeagainst the exponents of social credit,he commits the very same offencewhich he lays at the door of Barclay-Smith. There is no other school ofeconomics which has so consistentlygiven facts and still more facts in theway of industrial and economic data,backed by authorities, with which toprove its case to the hilt than the ex-ponents of social credit. So much sois that true that the professional wise-acres on the orthodox side find it in-creasingly advisable to observe a dis-creet silence, which to them seems soobviously better than defeat. And myown supporting evidence for thissweeping statement? Your own corres-pondence columns and those of manyanother daily newspaper. There isprobably no other editor in Australiaor New Zealand more widely postedwith facts and figures from everysource on the monetary question theworld over than Barclay-Smith, andhis paper reflects that fact. The "NewEra" has the largest circulation abroadof any paper in Australia and NewZealand. The main reason is the widerange of facts, which are looked for in
vain in the average daily. Most of uswant the truth, the whole truth andnothing but the truth, and the factsgivenIn this live little organ are evi-dently too devastating to be comfort-able to the exponents of "sound" fin-ance and the papers under such con-trol.
"Nippon" does not comment on theprices of Japanese goods quoted byBarclay-Smith; for instance: shirts at6d each, cameras at Is each, tea setsat half-a-crown, bicycles at 12s. Wehave read and heard locally of otherprices in keeping, from Japan, so thisis not fresh news. In the face of suchprices "Nippon" innocently believesthat rationalisation of industry is theway to beat Japan at her own game,and that in some mysterious way wecan also make shirts at 6d each, etc.Ask a shirtmaker. Rationalisation(without condemning it) always tendsto increase unemployment. What Isthe use of beating Japan at her owngame if our already tax-ridden citi-zens are thereby to be saddled with aparalysing increase of unemploy-ment?
In the "Report of the U.S.A. Com-mittee on Recent Economic Changes"it is stated that during 1920 to 1929output increased 25 per cent., whilethe number of workers decreasedmore than 7 per cent.! There is cer-tainly no salvation in that direction,despite any mania we have for out-doing Japan. It may be asked, "Whythen is there not more unemploymentin Japan?" Simply because Japan hasby her inverted use of social creditmore than doubled her export tradein five years (1931-35), while mostcountries have suffered a calamitousdecrease; in other words, our severeloss has been her corresponding gain."Nippon" is either strangely blind orhas his tongue in his cheek when heasks how it is that "champions ofDouglas credit never have a word tosay about rationalisation of industry."He has not read much. In conclusion,Japan has not only bought lavishlybooks on social credit, but has pub-lished pirated editions. The facts be-tray her use of it, and no other pos-sible explanation can account for theresults. Rationalisation is a conveni-ent red herring, and consequently"fishy" as an explanation.—Yours, etc.,

MAIN TRUNK RAILWAYCONSTRUCTION
TO TBI ■OITOB OF THE PRBSS
Sir,—A shipping disaster should initself compel the completion of theSouth Island Main Trunk railway.There are other reasons—safety ofstock and sfrort sea trip enabling stockto be landed in better condition. Thisalso applies to the travelling public.There is no comparison between thetrip from Lyttelton to Wellington andthat down Queen Charlotte Sound withonly short exposure crossing the strait.Are we going to suffer at the handsof a big influential monopoly? TheSouth Island is entitled to its quota ofexpendiure on necessary works, andthat without delay. Winter is comingand the unemployment problem is stilllooming ahead. The joining up ofthe gap may help considerably in itsalleviation.—Yours, etc..

DEEP SEA FISHINGTO THE IDITOB Or TBS PRISS.

WEATHER PSYCHOLOGY'lO I'HE EDITOR OT THK PBESS.
Sir,—Our mutual friend, Mr Trolove,is sceptical regarding the efficacy ofprayer, yet if he will think for amoment he will discover that every-thing he possesses, whether it givespleasure or pain, is in answer toprayer or desire. If he presses thewrong switch, that is his misfortune;yet it is always the operation of anatural law—"As we sow, so mustwe reart."
The weather is now back to normal,but as thd tendency during 1936 isto go to extremes in everything, thecontrols may have to be reversedshortly because existing conditions aremuch more fleeting than we think.Your correspondent will rememberthe time when Christchurch citizenswere much divided in their desire asto the most suitable day for theweekly half-holiday. It took yearsof struggle to obtain the Saturday, andto-day there is the same difficulty-conflicting opinions and desires—inregard to the weather. Some mayardently desire rain, but the majorityalways prefer fair weather, becauserain is so inconvenient; thus we havea community continually dividedagainst itself. I thank Mr Trolovefor the "board" suggestion and otherhelpful hints. Obviously someonemust lead in every organised effort,and whether it be civil, military, orecclesiastical, is not important pro-vided the objective be efficiently at-tained. Desire, like the poor, is everpresent. The chief difficulty is to getanything approaching unity of actionb" the community. Moses, in spiteof all his learning, had the greatestdifficulty, not with Pharaoh, but inpersuading his own people that brick-making, under adverse conditions, wasnot preferable to possible starvationin the wilderness. To-day men likethose represented by your correspond-ent fear imaginary giants in the landof promise, so that their Moses, nomatter how well equipped he may bewill soon find that his job is not allbeer and skittles. Another peculiartrait in human nature hj that the manwho discovers a second edition of the-South Pole is classed as a hero ofheroes, while another who discovershow to make two blades of grassgrow where only one grew before, isconsidered a fool for adding to thedisease of over-production.—Yours,etc

A few hours later rain commencedto fall, and continued till we receivednearly four inches of it. Fine week-end! Yes, —for ducks.—Yours, etc..

THE HEATHCOTECOUNTY
ANNUAL INSPECTION BYCOUNCILLORS
COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OFWORKS
Members of the Heathcote CountyCouncil made their annual inspectionof the county yesterday. The tour wasa comprehensive one. taking in all theridings in the county, and lasting allday.
Those who went were the chairman,Mr W. W. Scarff, Messrs P. W. Free-man, W. Kerr, A. G. Williams, J. F.Scott, J. H. Moore (councillors), J. P.E. Veale (county clerk). F. Tucker(electrician), and A. E. Inder (engin-eer). An apology was received forthe absence of Cr. C. Flavell.
The' party went first to the AranuiHall, where Mr H. M. Hall, presidentof the Bexj'ey Ratepayers' Association,pointed out several improvementswhich were needed. The next stoppingplace was the river bank on the sea-ward side of the New Brighton bridge.Considerable scouring has taken placehere on a bend, and the council hasseveral large blocks of concrete whichit intends to place in the river along-side, the bank to remedy this.
At the council's Avon yard, the partywas joined at morning tea by MessrsH. P. Slater, a very old resident ofthe Bromley riding, and G. K. Bur-ton, who was a member of the coun-cil for many years. The tea was pro*vided by Mrs A. E. Wilson and MrsE. Carter.
The biggest unemployed work whichthe council lias in hand now is thelowering and widening of the MountPleasant road up to the' tea house.When this was visited yesterday, 75men were working on it. Applicationhas been made to have this road de-clared a secondary highway.
Improvements to Playground *In the Erie Monro playground inOpawa, the councillors saw four new |
seats presented by Crs. Scott, Scarff, Iand Captain H. Monro, thedonor of the ground. These seatb wereinstalled last Friday. A deputationfrom the Opawa-Hillsborough Bur-'gesses' Association was also receivedon the ground, and improvements tothe equipment and to the districtgenerally were discussed. The councilagreed to put a gate in that corner iof the ground in Garlands road which Iadjoins private property.
The reservoir, which supplies about I60 houses en Murray Aynsley Hill wasexamined by the council, which hasbeen invited to take ifcover from theprivate board which has controlled ituntil now. The recently completedreservoir on Huntsbury Hill was alsoinspected.
The annual garden competition be-tween the council's foreman at theAvcn yards, Mr E. Carter, and theforeman in Cashmere, Mr W. Carter,was judged, the prize being awardedto Mr W. Carter. This was the fourthtime the competition had been held.Mr E. Carter had won twice, and oncethe foremen had been equal. Thegardens are on the council's property,and the foremen look after them intheir spare time.
At the conclusion of the inspection,the chairman said the councillorscould be fairly satisfied with thecounty since, generally speaking, itwas looking as well as could be ex-pected.

Empire Air ServicesIt is a little surprising that the Federal Gov-ernment's rejection of the British proposals forair services between London and Sydney, asfrom next year, has caused no greater discus-sion in The newspapers have nottreated the matter as one of striking import-ance; and the "Sydney Morning Herald" is
alone in the heat of its attack on Mr Lyons,Mr Parkhill, and the rest of the Cabinet. Itsexcitement resembles that which has agitatedthe London press and contributors, who havenot made up their minds whether Australia isselfish, or ignorant, or too independent, butseem to fancy that Australia has no right toher own view of a scheme which has won thesupport of other Imperial -units. This is, ofcourse, unjust. Australia has such a right, inview of her situation in the Pacific and ofunique conditions set up by the extent andphysical character of her territory and by thedistribution of the population. It does not ap-
pear that the Federal .Government has doneanything worse than rely upon these argumentsin asserting both Australia's need to controlthe route from Darwin to Singapore and herduty "to consider the future of aviation inAustralia, in relation to problems of defence.Nor can it be held to be unreasonable to say,as the Minister for Defence said recently, thatthese considerations were more important toAustralia than the advantages of falling in linewith proposals for a flat rate for air mailswithin the Empire. Yet it is in this regardthat the Australian case is weakest. If theGovernment had asserted its own views on thequestions of control and types of machine, andif it had offered to maintain the efficient andspeedy service required to co-ordinate with theBritish service to Singapore, within an agree-ment for the carriage of first-class mail with-out surcharge, the onus would have been onthe British Government to show that theAustralian claims were unwarranted and theAustralian offers incompatible with the purposeand efficient wockmg of the scheme; and itwould probably' have been difficult to showanything of the sort. But the Federal Govern-ment seems to be very far from recognisingthe principle of ordinary charges for air mailsand from desiring to adopt it. The PrimeMinister, for example, in a statement issued atCanberra, said that
it was believed that the surcharge rate mightbe reduced substantially at the appropriatetime to a rate which, while leaving the servicewithin reach of all who desired accelerateddelivery of correspondence, would avoid manydifficulties, including finance, inseparable fromthe early introduction of the " all mails"principle between England and Australia, andthe almost inevitable extension of this principleto internal correspondence. On this basis theCommonwealth Government made proposalsto the British Government, and expressed theview that the objective should be inclusiverates of about 6d per half oz. for mail fromAustralia, and 5d sterling from England.
Here the Commonwealth Government's attitudeis hard to understand, as an obstructive one,taken up on a short and narrow view of costsand benefits; and'it is to be hoped, in the in-terests of the Dominions on either side of theTasman, that a longer and wider view willshortly discover means of reconciling Austra-lia's special needs with the objects of anImperial plan. But it would be feverish, evenif agreement is delayed, to foresse (with the"Sydney Morning Herald") the AustralianGovernment refusing facilities to British flyingboats en route to New Zealand, Americanenterprise undertaking the service betweenEngland and New Zealand, or the Dutch step-ping in to enjoy advantages denied to theBritish Government.
See New Zealand FirstThough it would be flying in the face of humannature to suggest that those who have themeans to gratify a taste for overseas travelshould first devote their time and money to athorough examination of their own country, itis certainly worth considering whether NewZealanders in general are properly appreciativeof the beauties anJ. advantages of their ownland. It is not at all unusual to hear of peoplewho have some of the finest scenic and otherattractions of the country practically at theirback door, and who (although they have avery proper pride in their country's beauties)have never actually seen them for themselves.There are no doubt thousands of people inChristchurch who have never seen the FranzJosef Glacier or even Hanmer, thousands morein Timaru or Dunedin who have never visitedMount Cook, many in Wanganui who havenever travelled up their famous river, andmultitudes of others in the North Island whohave let the thermal wonders of Rotorua betaken as read about. Many overseas touristson the most modest scale have seen a greatdeal more and actually know a great dealmore of this country than the average NewZaalander, who would complacently aver(without having seen any of these places, orfor' that matter any other places worth talkingabout) that his country provides the mostsplendid natural scenery, the finest trout fishingand deer-stalking, or the most magnificentmountain-climbing in the world. That, in itsway, is a beautiful example of the triumph offaith over experience, but it is also flavouredwith a mild taint of hypocrisy. It is pleasingto find from the statistics of the New ZealandTourist Department that, thanks largely to theencouragement of that department, the Rail-ways Department and other transport concerns,New Zealanders are beginning to travel morewithin their own boundaries and are taking a
more active interest in the glories that they havealways been so willing to laud in the presenceof visitors. The high rate of exchange is notencouraging to overseas travel and many whowould otherwise' contemplate a tour abroadmay think better of it and grasp an oppor-tunity, always present, of seeing New Zealandfirst.
Bathing Costume RegulationsThe New Brighton Borough Council has cometo very sensible decisions in making its newby-laws for bathers, and has set a very saneexample for other seaside boroughs to follow.The new by-laws are elastic enough to satisfythe reasonable desires of bathers and shouldbe firm enough to placate those whose sensi-bilities are shocked by a too liberal display ofthe human figure. It is eminently reasonableto expect that -bathers should preserve somedecorum and be sufficiently clad while doingbusiness in the shopping areas, but the newby-laws do not place unnecessary and irksomerestrictions on bathers passing from dressingsheds or their homes to the beach. Most satis-factory of all is the decision not to set arbi-trary measurements on the length andbreadth of bathing costumes, such. as arecontained in the by-laws that have beenignored for years in New Brighton, or of thekind that have recently brought the law intoridicule in New South Wales. "There are"criminal laws governing indecency and it is" impossible for us to set a standard different" from the one they set," said the chairman ofthe New Brighton by-laws committee , (Cr.Lester); and that is as sensible a view as couldbe expressed on the subject. Having satisfac-torily made other rules governing the conductof bathers on the borough streets, the councilcan safely leave the decency of costumes andbehaviour to the good sense of the bathersthemselves and the oversight of the police.

The Germans were all for peace, but theywanted a strong peace,' said Dr. J. A. Pottin-ger, of Invercargill, who has returned to NewZealand after a trip abroad. They wantedtheir colonies back, and their work at the pre-sent time was to consolidate the German in-terests everywhere, so that they would have;i iU'o'ig appeal for recognition when the timecame to /.-laim colonies. Herr Hitler hadmapped out a definite course and had kept toit. He said in his book that Germany had twopossible alliances in Europe—ltaly or Eng-land. Dr. Pottinger discussed the Italo-Ethio-pian situation with a number of Germans, butdid not find anyone particularly interested inwhat Italy was doing. The impression hegained was that if Italy won the Germanswould be satisfied because it would strengthenGermany's claim for her colonies. If Italylost Germany would not mind; if the Leagueof Nations was successful Germany would besatisfied; but if the league failed Germanywould not care. Germany was pursuing apolicy of isolation and was strong enough todo so.

General News
Use of LibrariesKnowledge of the correct use of a library is
nowadays an important part of a liberal educa-tion and the authorities at the Christchurch
'
Technical College have recognised this. Yes-terday a party of about 50 boys from the collegevisited the Canterbury Public Library, wherethey spent about an hour in inspecting thelibrary and in receiving instruction in the useof encyclopaedias and similar books of refer-ence, so that they may know how to go aboutfinding information. The boys were addressedby the librarian (Mr E. J. Bell). At school they
will be set exercises which will necessitate theirconsulting books in the library. Another partywill pay a visit to-morrow,
A Jubilee YearAs 1936 is the diamond jubilee of the Young
Men's Christian Association a special effort willbe made by the Christchurch branch to makethis a memorable year in the association s his-tory. Meetings of many of the committees onvarious branches of association activities willbe held in a few weeks to plan the winterprogramme, which it is hoped to make as com-prehensive as possible this year.
Population of the CityThe population of the city and its suburbs
at April 1 last year was 136,200, according tothe year book of the Christchurch City Council,which was distributed yesterday. The popula-tion of the city was set down as 92,900, anathe number of'persons in suburbs outside theCity Council's area was 39,300.
Pronunciation in DoubtThough the members appeared unconscious
of it, there was a tacit disagreement, withopinion about equally divided, on the pronun-ciation of the word "gladiolus" at last evening smeeting of the management committee of theCanterbury Horticultural Society. Some placedthe stress on the second syllable, some placedit on the third syllable, and others wavered.The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary is notdogmatic about the pronunciation of the word,giving both alternatives as correct.is a diminutive form of the Latin ' gladius,and literally means a small sword.
Kipling's Works PopularThough some have held that Rudyard Kip-
ling's life had outstayed his popularity as anauthor, his death has revived interest in hisworks, as is shown by a noticeably greaterenquiry for his novels and volumes of poetryat the Canterbury Public Library. A well-known citizen recently went to the librarian(Mr E. J. Bell) with the confession that hehad not read any of Kipling's works. He bor-rowed "Stalky and Co.", and after reading it
returned for more of Kipling. At the libraryKipling's novels have excelled his poetry in
popularity, and the most popular of the volumesof verse has been "Barrackroom Ballads. Inthe next issue of the library's magazine anarticle will be devoted to a description of allKipling's works for the guidance of readers.
Malicious False AlarmsThe Christchurch Fire Brigade is still being
troubled by malicious false alarms of fire, andaccording to the chairman of the ChristchurchFire Board, Mr T. M. Charters, there is littleprospect of this source of annoyance beingcompletely stopped. The superintendent of thebrigade, Mr C. C. Warner, reported that thebrigade had been called out on 11 occasionsduring the last two months by malicious falsealarm* In all 13 false alarms had been given,
but only two had been given with good intent.Mr Charters said that although the figure re-lated to two months' activity, the number ofmalicious false alarms was still high. "I sup-pose we will always have these 'cranks withus." commented Mr Charters.
North Road Now Open
Good progress was made yesterday in re-pairing the sU •> and wash-out on the mamnorth road near the Conway river. It wasreported last evening from Kaikoura that cars,including two lorries from Nelson, had beenable to get through by 5.30 p.m., and that theservice cars would be able to get through thismorning. It was expected that the road wouldbe back to normal by this evening.
Protection for MotoristsA motorist travelling from the Sign of the
Kiwi down the hill some time ago had the mis-fortune to run off the road and fall over a bank.The Heathcote County Council marked thescene of the accident, which was on a bend,with several rocks painted white so that motor-ists could see them at night and in fogs. Withthe passage of time it became clear that therocks placed there could never be countedupon as permanent marks, and so the councildecided to put in concrete pegs, built to thesame mould as street fire plug signs andpainted white. These have now been put in atshort intervals along the edge of the road fromthe Sign of the Kiwi down to Victoria Park,a distance of more than a mile. The pegs arethree feet in length and each has a substantialfoot designed to give some measure of resist-ance to acts of vandalism. They show up veryclearly for some distance along the road andmotorists travelling at night should find themextremely useful.
Vases for Flower ShowsThe relative merits of earthenware and metal
vases for use at flower shows were discussedat last evening's meeting of the managementcommittee of the Canterbury HorticulturalSociety, when the replacement of the society'svases was being considered. On the table wasa sample of a green metal vase, of conicalshape, submitted by a firm as suitable for thesociety's requirements. Members spoke of theloss to the society through breakages ofearthenware vessels, but one speaker said thatvases like that on the table would hold toolittle water, and another had heard that flowerskept more freshly in crockery vases. "I thinkthis metal vase looks 'tinny'," commented MrE. E. Wiltshire, "and it would have to be storedaway in cotton-wool if it were not to bedamaged. The paint may be knocked off, the vrepainting would be delayed, and the vaseswould be a disgrace to the society." Anothermember went farther afield by suggesting theexperimental use of vases of American manu-facture, which were of porcelain, stamped inrelief, but the meeting thought the cost of theexchange a decisive objection. Finally, thechairman (Mr M. J. Barnett) and the secretary(Mr H; L. Darton) were appointed to purchaseany vases they thought suitable.
Travel by AirIf, as is planned, it becomes possible within
the next two years to fly from Australia to-England in seven days by Imperial Airways,and if the cost is brought nearer to the costof sea transport, there will be a great increasein the popularity of the air service, said MrE. L. Sutro, of Poukawa, in an address to theHastings Rotary Club. With the experience ofhaving flown by an Imperial Airways linerfrom Australia to England, Mr Sutro said hewould always prefer the trip by air to thesea journey.
The Importance of Rotorua
"I feel Rotorua is going to be a very import-ant part of the Dominion to which it offers awonderfulasset as the wonderland of New Zea-land," said the Hon. W. E. Parry, Minister forInternal Affairs at Rotorua. "I look forward toit being an asset not only, to the people of theDominion, but also to people abroad. I am veryconcerned that there are people in my own dis-trict, old age pensioners, who have never beento Rotorua, and it will be the work of the Gov-ernment to give the facilities so that theyounger generation will be able to travel andfully understand their own country. In myopinion we could do no more important workthan that."

THE DRIFT OFPOPULATION
POLITICAL MAP TO BE
REDRAWN
RESULTS OF CENSUS
SOUTH ISLAND MAY LOSE
SEATS
After the Dominion census,which will be taken in April, thepolitical map of New Zealand willhave to be redrawn, in accordancewith the distribution of populationas revealed in the census. Fromobservations based on the last cen-sus, it is believed that, the SouthIsland will lose two seats in Parlia-ment to the North Island. All elec-toral boundaries will be amendedand many voters will find them-selves in a new electorate at thenext general election.
It will be the duty of the Gov-ernment after the census to appointtwo statutory commissions to con-
sider the representation of NewZealand at the next election. Thetotal population of the Dominion isascertained; to this number isadded as the country quota a fur-ther total equivalent to 28 pfer cent,
of the rural population. The nom-inal population thus derived is
divided by the number of Euro-pean seats in Parliament, 76, andthe resulting figure is the quota foreach electorate. The number otseats allocated to each island is thendetermined and the commissions,one for the North and one for theSouth Island, sit to consider the ad-justment of boundaries. In ruralareas, the commission may departfrom the quota for .each electorateby 1250, but the "swing" in urbanareas must not be more than 250.In redrawing the boundaries, thecommission is guided by certain con-siderations such as community ofinterest and geographical conveni-ence.
Electoral AnomaliesThe adjustment of electoral boun-
daries at successive censuses hashad some curious results and hasput nomenclature at a discount.Thus parts of the suburb of Papa-nui are included in the Riccartonelectorate, others in ChristchurchNorth, and still others in Kaiapoi.The 'Kaiapoi electorate reachesclose to the city, and the Riccartonelectorate takes in a fairly largecountry population.
The inference that the South Is-land will lose two seats in the re-distribution is based on the experi-ence after the last census, in 1927.Then, though there had been acensus five years before, the Ash-burton and Ellesmere seats wereabolished and a new electorate wascreated in their place, under thename of Mid-Canterbury. In theNorth Island the original Eden seatwas renamed Auckland Suburbs, anda new electorate of Eden was con-
stituted. As there has been nocensus, and therefore no revision ofseats since 1927, and as the South-land lost one seat between 1922and 1927. an assumption is that thepopulation of this island has notincreased so much as that of theNorth Island, so that in the comingadiustment two seats may be lost.The estimated European populationof the North Island at April 1 lastwas 1,003,180 and that of the SouthIsland 550.650. According to thisestimate, the population of the NorthIsland was 1.82 times that, of theSouth Island, whereas at the 1926census*it was 1.61 times as large.
Basis of AllocationThe allocation of seats is based
on the whole population and notmerely that part of it which hasthe vote. One interesting theoryadvanced is that this basis has beento the disadvantage of the' SouthIsland. It is contended that- thedrift of population to the North Is-land is principally that of youngpersons who are likely to be mar-ried and to have children. An ex-ample is given of a South Islandfarmer with a grown-up family,who, wishing to establish his sonson farms of their own and yet un-able to find suitable country in theSouth Island, sends them to theNorth, where they settle and per-haps marry and have a family. Insuch instances, it is argued. thedrift of population is decidedly infavour of the North Island.
In the past the Auckland pro-vince has gained four seats by thechanges, as the part of New Zea-land in which population has in-creased most rapidly, and the Wel-lington province has gained oneseat. The South Island's loss hasbeen fairly evenly distributed.Otago and Canterbury forfeitingtwo seats each and Westland one.
Until the census figures areknown it is impossible to say withcertainty how the seats will bedivided between the islands whenthe commissioners meet again, asthey are' required to do threemonths after the figures have beencommunicated to them. The alter-ations will not come into operationuntil the next general election,which will be held at the end of1938 if the Government reinstatestriennial Parliaments. In the pre-sent Parliament the North Islandis represented by 47 members andthe South Island by 29. There arefour Maori seats.
WORLD ACTION
AWAITED
SHORTER HOURS OF
WORK
NEW ZEALAND EMPLOYERS'ATTITUDE
(PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.)
WELLINGTON, February 11When the rest of the world, par-
ticularly the more important in-dustrial countries, was prepared toadopt measures of reform whichwould mean increased leisure, NewZealand would be prepared to playits part, said Mr T. O. Bishop, secre-tary of the New Zealand Employers'Federation, in an address at aRotary Club luncheon.
Mr Bishop remarked that hewould not like it to be r thoughtthat the attitude of the employers'delegates at the last Geneva con-ference (at which conference hewas a delegate) was one of activehostility to the reduction of hoursas a general principle.
"It was because the employersdelegates were greatly concerned atthe difficulties which would be im-
posed upon them mainly in theirexport markets by the increasedcosts attendant upon a reduction ofhours that they have steadily .op-posed the adoption of a general con-vention at successive conferencessaid Mr Bishop. "On the generalquestion of the application of the40-hour week as a" means of reduc-ing unemplovment.

AN ADVENTUROUSSTUDENT
NEW LINCOLN COLLEGERESIDENT
A SAILOR TAKES V**FARMING
A new student at Lincoln Col-lege this year, Mr Bertil Hjelstrom,has had a more adventurous careerthan most students anywhere, andhas had a sea experience that hasfallen to the lot of few people inthe world. In July last year hewon fame, and much mention incablegrams from Australia, by sail-ing for some hours in Torres Strait,in a craft as strange as any everseen in Australian waters—a bath-tub belonging to the captain of aship on which he had been an ap-
prentice. *
Mr Hjelstrom, who came to NewZealand from Australia, is doing atwo years' course.
An apprentice at the time, MrHjelstrom, then aged 21, last Julysurprised Australia and New Zea-land by his method of .leaving thebarque C. B. Petersen at sea. Usingan old wooden bath tub, with animprovised sail, he left the barqueat night in Torres Strait. Heavyseas were coming up, and the crewof the vessel feared for his safety.
The first cable message of his ad-venture was on July 15. The nextwas not until July 27, when it wasannounced that he had been broughtfrom York Island to Thursday Is-land. Mr Hjelstrom had told how,after going over the side with thecaptain's bathtub, .■ he had fitted itwith an outrigger, and improvising asail had set out for Darnley Islandwhich he reached after six hours.From there he was taken to YorkIsland.
At Thursday Island a furthercablegram announced that he hadfailed in the "dictation test inFrench," and later in Brisbane hewas sentenced to deportation.
Permission was later granted himto stay in Australia. When he ar-rived in Sydney, Mr Hjelstrom toldreporters that he disliked the seaand wanted to live a real Australianoutdoor life. He said his bathtubwas six feet long and three feetdeep, and >he and a friend hadlaunched it at night. He tooktinned foods and water and disap-peared in the night. He receivedhospitable treatment from the na-tives on the island where helanded, although they were aston-ished at his crazy craft.
CALLIOPE DOCKEXTENSION
CHRISTCHURCH TENDERACCEPTED
(PRESS ASSOCIATION TELBGRAU.)
AUCKLAND, February 11The tender of Mr W. Williamson,
contractor, of Christchurch, of£2489 for the work of extendingthe Calliope dock, was accepted bythe Auckland Harbour Board to-day. The work, it is stated, willbe begun almost immediately.
The extension of the dock is be-ing made to accommodate the twolarge new cruisers, H.M.S., Leanderand H.M.S. Achilles, which areshortly to replace H.M.S. Dunedinand H.M.S. Diomede on the NewZealand naval station. The plansprovide for the lengthening, of thedock floor by an additional 13ft,involving the excavation of about1800 cubic yards of sandstone and
concrete.The work, which is to be com-
pleted within four months of thedate of its commencement, is partof a major scheme for improvingthe naval defences of New Zealand
IMPROVEMENT OFROADS
ProgressScheme
CO-ORDINATING WORK OPLOCAL BODIES
A rationally planned programme ,"for the paving and general improve-ment of the roads of Canterbury is ■aimed at in a scheme sponsored bythe Canterbury Progess League, bywhich information about their road-ing needs has been requested fromlocal bodies in the province. Event- "
ually a programme to occupy thenext five years will be presented tothe Main Highways Board for ap-proval. This is the second occasion*on which the league has co-ordin-ated the efforts of the local bodies in -
Canterbury in improving the roads, :
a five-year programme drawn up;,
some time ago having been now Icompleted.
The information sought by theleague from councils included thelocalities and descriptions of the
""
roads which need attention, the den-sity of traffic upon them, their mile- ;age, the order in which they shouldbe given consideration, and any'other suitable suggestions. The
,!
league's opinion was that the logical "development in roading would be .
the extension of dustless, or paved,roads, at an approximate cost or£ISOO a mile, of whfch the High-ways Board would contribute three- ,fourths.
Of the 21 councils circularised, 13"or 14 have now replied; in some in-stances councils have not met sincethe circulars were dispatched, and "
in others council engineers have ibeen deputed to submit a report onthe roading needs "of the district.
Tentative ProgrammeWhen all the replies have been,:
received, the highways committee of >
the league will consider them and;formulate a tentative programme as .-
far as is practicable in accordancewith the needs of the local bodies. ~
The next step will be the submis- ,
sion of this programme to the coun- ■cils, which will have an opportun- ...
ity of discussing it before their re- .presentatives attend a conference to ibe called by the league.
It is expected that at this confer->ence.the league committee's, pro-,gramme will undergo several modi- ■.fixations, as the final decisions will jrest with the councils, which will, of ;
course, have to find a proportion ofthe cost of the work. Topics to be *,
discussed will include the order inwhich different classes of work will.be taken, according partly to ur--gency and partly to principle. There -
will probably be discussion \on „-:
whether preference should be.givento arterial highways or to roadswhich, although they may not be;main, highways, carry a greater .vol- -
ume of traffic, such as some of thesecond grade roads near the «ity.-Difficulties- and differences of this;kind will be resolved at the confer-';"ence, and the programme as finally''agreed upon by the councils will be •presented to the Highways Board for.approval. Works will be graded inorder of urgency, and there will beseparate programmes for each of thefive years over which'the plan ex-tends.
League's ObjectsThe Progress League's scheme is .
probably the only one of its kind in ■the Dominion, for in other places •
negotiations are carried on directlybetween the local bodies and theHighways Board. The league con-siders that as the roads of a countryare the concern of so many bodies,co-ordination and co-operationamong them is essential if a soundplan of improvement is to be con-ceived and expeditiously carried out.A jointplan is also considered to beof great assistance to the HighwaysBoard, with the additional advant-age that the local bodies are givensatisfaction with the way in whichtheir money is spent.
BUSH DESTROYEDGOVERNOR'S BAY ROAD
DAMAGE BY DISPLACED ROCKS
Motorists who have used the roaifrom the Sign of the Kiwi down intoGovernor's Bay have often com-plained of its rough surface and itsnarrowness. It is now being wid-ened by Public Works contract, andwhile the improvements will un-doubtedly make it much more com-fortable for motorists, it is probablethat they will take away much of
the enjoyment which trampers havefound in the trip to the bay.
This is because large quantities of
rock, blasted from the cliffs on the
side of the road, have been allowedto fall down into what is commonlyknown as the Governor's Bay busn.They have broken down trees anashrubs surrounding a track wmcnhas been very popular withi tramp-
ers for years. Rocks litter the hillside and are scattered amongst the
bush, i i „omP
The destruction of the bush cameunder the notice of members of tne
Heathcote County Council whenthey were at the Sign of the KWJduring an inspection of the countyyesterday. The bush, and the work,
which is being done on the roan,
are in the Mount Herbert county,
just over the Heathcote county-boundary.
„-j
"The destruction is a shame, sawCr. J. F. Scott, '"and if I had any-thing to do with this district. }wouldn't tolerate it." He thoughtthat a lip could easily have beenbuilt to hold the rock from at lea«
part of the road from falling aownthe valley into the bush.
Twentv-one men m three, gajjf'are working on the road, which ha>
now been widened for a consider-,able distance. The track throughthe bush below is closed while masting is being done.

/ (Received February 11. 7.30 p.m.)
LONDON, February 11.
In a discussion of the future ox
rpntral Europe Prince Starhem-L (Vice-Chancellor or Austria).
an exclusive interview with the
Lomatic correspondent of the-Daily Telegraph," said that hismost serious concern was thai thewakening of Italy by the Abys-
sinian war might disturb the bai-lee of Power in Europe. He stillfeels that the Italian army con-
stitutes the only substantial iorceto which Austria could look for
succour in the case of a Germanattempt to overrun her.
•'Austria to-day is content withits present borders," he said. "Itspeople ask only for securityagainst aggression. Our need is forincreased confidence among theDanubian peoples, so that we mayapproach the ide,al of a UnitedStates of Central 'Europe.
"It is for this reason that we re-sist the Nazi theory of -one race.one Fatherland.' That policy wouldlead to two opposing camps—-pan-Germanism against pan-Slav-ism—and would result in the de-struction of Europe."
Prince Starhemberg denied thatthe youth of Austria was strongiypro-Nazi. Both the young and theolder people, he said, realised that
an Austrian could be a good Ger-man without being a Nazi.
It was only a section between theages of 26 and 35 that had Nazisympathies. These people had ac-quired these views during, theyears when the newly-founded Aus-trian republic was unable to supplyall their wants.

EFFECT OF SANCTIONS
(UHITBD I-MS9 iSSOCIATIOH—corT»;o«T.)(Received February 12, 12.15 a.m.)
LONDON, February 11.The possibility of an understand-
ing between Italy and Germanycontinues to be discussed. The Pariscorrespondent of the "Daily Mail"
it is growing clearerevery day that Signor Mussolinimay be forced by the League's con-tinued hostility to declare that Italywill no longer guarantee the LocarnoPact, thus enabling Germany toclaim that the whole treaty haslapsed.
"M. Pierre Flandin (French Min-ister for Foreign Affairs) realisesthe danger, but is still hopeful thathe can manoeuvre to maintain 'thevital link with London withoutestranging Rome also. He appar-ently hopes that there may be someearly, acceptable settlement betweenItaly and Abyssinia, making possiblethe speedy re-establishment of theStresa groupings. If this is not done,there are many who believe that thenext move will be some workingagreement between Rome and Ber-lin."
The Rome correspondent of the"Daily Mail" says that it is officiallydenied that Italy is negotiating foran understanding with Germany,and it cannot be doubted that Italywould prefer to keep the Stresafront in existence if possible. Never-theless, it is asserted that Italy can-not indefinitely keep up even theappearance of friendship withnations which are doing their ut-most to prevent a successful solu-tion of the conflict between Italyand Abyssinia. Italians considerthat they have been betrayed, andthis feeling will probably continue torankle long after the East Africancampaign is finished. The interrup-tion of Italian trade with Englandand France has already intensifiedcommercial relations with Germany,and commercial relations are oftenthe forerunner of close political re-lations. It is declared that the daymay not be far distant when Italywill be obliged to adopt an officialpolicy more in keeping with therealities of the present situation.
GERMANY'S LOSTCOLONIES
RE'ITKN OK MANDATED AREASDESIRED
BERLIN, February 10.Simultaneously with the concern
over diplomatic moves in Europethere is widespread editorial dis-cussion of Germany's colonial prob-lem. All the writers agree thatGermany cannot be satisfied with amere share of raw materials, butthat it is a matter of honour thatshe regains her colonies.
General Goering's organ, the "Na-tional Zeitung," says: "Germanydoes not ask Britain to cede any ofher Crown colonies or grant bene-volent permission for access to rawmaterials, but Germany expects ajust solution of the so-called manda-tory problem, which others want toavoid by proposing different solu-tions.''
Meanwh.le, as the London NavalConference is wrestling with thedifficult principle that capital shipsare not to exceed 35.000 tons and 14-inch guns (though Lord Monsell in-dicated that Britain was willing tocome as low as 22,000 tons and 11-inch guns) it is interesting to notethat a message from Berlin quotesan authoritative naval handbookwhich discloses for the first timethat Germany's two 26,000-tonbattleships will mount nine 11-inchguns, whereas greater calibre hadbeen expected.
The handbook also reveals thatGermany's two 10,000-ton ships are'armed withjtails are not given of the 10 "sur-prise"' ships which are to be armedwith two 4-inch guns.

Mr Eden replied: "The principlethat no Government can be boundby the provisions of an inconclusiveprevious negotiation is, of course,well recognised in internationalpractice.

LONDON, February 10."Never have I found such wide-
spread foreboding of war as duringthe Continental journey whence Ihave just returned," writes Mr G.Ward Price in the "Daily Mail."" 'Things are far wca-se than in 1914'was the general phrase. The pre-sent warlike preparations cannot
continue without an explosion."Mr Price ridicules General
Smuts'a opinion that the war talkis mostly bluff. He contends thatbehind the present situation are thesame causes as formerly—strongnations with -unsatisfted grievancesand ambitions, of which Germanyis the most formidable. She aims.says Mr Price, at taking over thePolish corridor, making up to Po-land lor this by conquests fromRussia.

BERLIN, Fcl'vary 10.German anxieties r yarding the
trend of diplomatic moves inEurope are finding increasing ex-pression in the German press.
The chief point of fear at. themoment is that an Angio-Russianrapprochement may lead to the en-circlement of Germany by England,France, and Russia. People whohitherto have regarded Britishfriendship toward Germany asaxiomatic in the solution of theirproblems, now appear less certainthan before.
The Foreign Office mouthpiece,the "Borsen Zeitung," says: "It isdue to the psychological absurditiesof the British policy that France isbeing suddenly encouraged fromLondon to conclude a Franco-Rus-sian pact." The paper concedesjustification for British rearma-ment, but contrasts •it with lastweek's appeals in the House of Com-mons to the Government to takeevery practicable step fcr a betterunderstanding with the nations.
The "lriankfurter Zeitung" sug-gests that Mr Stanley Baldwin andMr R. A. Eden, "who is so sure ofhimself," will have 16 say moreclearly whether their talk about theLeague of Nations means a coalitionagainst Germany or whether it en-visages a new leadership in Europe,which Sir Samuel Hoare ex-pounded.

ONE OF HUEY LONG'S
TAXES ABOLISHED
(nXITJED PRISS ASSOCIATIOK COPTHIOMT.)
(Received February 11, 7.30 p.m.)WASHINGTON, February 10.
The Supreme Court to-day unani-mously reversed the Louisiana Statetax on the gross receipts of news-papers, and enunciated the doctrineof the constitutional guarantee ofthe freedom of the press. The judg-ment is destined to rank as one ofthe historic documents in Americanhistory.
The tax, which was one of the lateSenator Huey Long's measures, andwhich was intended not only to se-cure revenue, but to give him ameasure of control over the press ofthe state, was declared unconstitu-tional by Mr Justice Sutherland,who wrote his opinion. He said thatthe tax had "a long history of hos-tile misuse against the freedom ofthe press."
The court made it clear that it wasnot intended to except newspapersfrom any ordinary form of taxa-tion, but only to protect their recog-nised freedom from attacks cloakedunder the guise of taxation.
"Since an informed public opinionis the most potent of all restraintsupon government, the suppressionor abridgement of the publicity af-forded by a free press cannot be re-garded otherwise than with 'graveconcern," the judgment states.

SENATORS' OUTSPOKENCRITICISM
(UHiTED PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPTRIGHT.)
(Received February 11, 10.30 p.m.)
WASHINGTON, February 1.0.Senator Pittman, the chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee,delivered in the Senate to-day anaddress so critical of Japanese policythat it is feared that it is- likely toarouse world-wide attention. Heclaimed that Japan intends to closethe door to China to America, "evenif war is necessary to accomplishit," and advocated American navaland air forces sufficient "to pro-tect" American rights.
"Chinais still an independent gov-ernment, at peace with the world,and desirous of trading with us, andthere is nothing in the circumstancesthat can legally or long physicallyinterfere with such trade," hesaid. Ho characterised as arrogantand impertinent the alleged state-ments of Admiral Takahashi onJanuary 23 that unless the UnitedStates renounced her naval policy,aimed at the expansion and protec-tion of her foreign trade, Japanwould be forced to extend her fleet'scruising radius to New Guinea, theCelebes, and Borneo, and establisha foothold in Formosa and the man-dated South Sea islands.
Senator Pittman declared thatCongress would not be "bull-dozed" into the abandonment ofnational defence and of the protec-tion of America's legitimate foreigntrade, or of her commerce withChina.
Senator Lewis, who recently vis-ited Russia, joined Senator Pittmanin an attack on Japan, with thenovel prediction that Japan and theSoviet would form an allianceagainst the United States for thedomination of Asia to the exclusionof American trade, and that eventu-ally they would co-operate in seiz-ing Alaska and the Philippines.
The Military Appropriation Bill,introduced in Congress to-day, callsfor the record expenditure of572,000,000 dollars. Although of thissum 197,000,000 dollars are for non-military purposes, such as the build-ing of waterways and other internalimprovements which are handled bythe War Department, the allocationfor military purposes has increasedby 23,000.000 dollars. Funds for theconstruction of 565 combat aero-planes are included in the estimates.
[Admiral Takahashi. commander ofthe combined Japanese naval forces,was reported by, the Tokyo corres-pondent of the ''News-Chronicle" assaying at the Osaka Club on January23: "Unless America renounces a navalpolicy aimed at expansion and the pro-tection of her foreign trade. Japan willbe forced to extend the cruising radiusof her fleet to New Guinea, the Celebes,and Borneo, and establish footholds inFormosa and the mandated South SeaIslands." He added that Japan's onlyabjective was national defence, whichwas an example the United' Statesshould fellow. Japan's trade advancein Manchukuo would soon reach itslimit, and this would make necessaryexpansion in the south Pacific. Ad-miral Takahashi did not refer to Brit-ish interests in the Pacific, althoughthey are as extensive as America's.]

"The Times" says that a ForeignOffice spokesman, referring appreci-atively to the debate in the Houseof Commons on February 5 andother signs, said that Western states-men had begun seriously to discuss(.he "moi'e, equitable" distribution ofthe world's resources.
He pointed out that the move-ment was still inchoate, and thatit might take a century to achievepractical results, which, however,were more likely to preserve peacethan the balance of power or theLeague of Nations.
The spokesman divided the na-tions into the following categories:—
(1) Those which had enoughand were content.
(2) Those possessing resourcesbut lacking the vitality todevelop them.
(3) Those possessing the vitalitybut Jacking the resources.
He included Japan in the lastcategory, but he did not indicatewhether', the vital nations shcyulddevelop the resources for the back-ward ones.
The spokesman added that thenations should work out a scheme.He admitted that Japan had nodifficulty in obtaining raw mater-ials, but her access to certain mar-kets was obstructed.

If this wasachieved the whole economic policyof certain nations might be affected.
The whole structure of agricul-ture would be influenced, and amarked increase in the demand forperishable- products, such as milkand vegetables, might result.

EMPIRE AIR MAIL
EFFECT OF AUSTRALIANDECISION
LONDON, February 10.With little chance of the accept-

Captain Norman Macmillan, writ-ing in the "Daily Mail," says: "Itappears that Australia has not fullyunderstood the proposals for the co-ordination of the two services. Fly-ing-boats on the trunk route andland aeroplanes inland appear tooffer the best solution of thestrategic requirements of Austral-ian defence. Clearly the Empirecannot drop the scheme because itis not acceptable to Australia. WillAustralia's decision force New Zea-land to forgo the benefits of thescheme? If not, under the proposalof the Commonwealth Minister forTransport (Mr R. A.

SOUTH ISLANDMAIN TRUNK
MINISTER EXAMINES
COSTS
£1,000,000 NEEDED FOR
NORTHERN SECTION
CABINET TO .MAKE DECISION
I From Our Own Reporter. IKAIKOURA. February 11.
Figures given to-day bv the Minis-ter for Public Works (the Hon. R.Sernplc) indicate that it will takeprobably all ql' .£1,000,000 to meet thecost of completion of the northern sec-lion of the South Island Main Trunkrailway. This figure includes thehuge additional cost which will haveto be inbt to put the completed por-tion in order again after four years'idleness.
The Minister, replying to a deputa-tion at Secldon, which emphasised theneed for a railway link between Marl-borough and Canterbury, said that oneof the big difficulties to be met if itwas decided to go on with the scheme-was this cost of bringing the line tothe condition it was in when workwas suspended in 1931. There were47 milen of line to be completed be-tween Wharanui and the Kahutarariver. To complete the work, theconstruction cost alone would absorb£937,078. Another £SOOO wouldbe required to clear the oldformation of weeds and sand drifts.To reassemble the plant units whichwere sold or transferred since theclosing of the line would take £6OOO.The provision of accommodationfor workers, stores, garages, andthe replacement of these unitssold or transferred would tal.e £12,000.The replacement of sleepers, rails, andpiles sold or transferred would cost£IO,OOO, and clearing slips and re-pairing washouts £3OOO. These itemstotalled £30,000, and it. would takethat sum to put the line in the con-dition in which it was when the workwas stopped.
Damage Caused by AbandonmentIf this sum were added to the sum
required to complete construction, MrSemple said, it would be seen thatthe total amounted to nearly £1,000,000.To nut all the line in the order itv/as in when construction was sus-pended would take £IOO,OOO. so inaddition to finding the money to com-plete the job it was necessary to findmoney to bring the line at both endsback to the order it was in originally.and to make good the damage causedby its abandonment.
Mr Semple said a pronouncementwould be made very shortly by thtCabinet about the line. He could notcommit the Cabinet; but he wouldsubmit his report, and the Cabinetwould make the decision.
The Minister quoted the same fig-ures to the neople at a meeting atClarence Bridge, and was cheeredwhen he paid that after seeing tlv:railway to the Clarence he was sureits completion, if decided upon, wouldstimulate production and develop-ment, and allow the farmers to com-pete In markets to which at the mo-ment Ihev did not Have sccess. Atthe moment, however, the Govern-ment was powerless lo da anythinglike that, although it had a mandateJrom the people, because of the rail-ways legislation.
Abolition cf Railways Board"We cannot move unless we get the
consent ot the Railways Board." hesaid. "However, Parliament will haveto repeal the act that gives the Rail-ways Board the authority it possesses.Ko time will be lost in doing that.(Cheers.)
"If we start the line, we will se-en with the job," Mr Semple saidlater in his reply. '•There will be nostopping. We are going to be sure itis a sound proposition, and when weave sure it is going to be done, and inthe shortest time possible. I hope, any-how, that you will be able to say be-fore very long that the visit of thePublic Works Minister to your dis-trict has been profitable."
A comparatively new point made byfine of the speakers previously wasthat the completion of the line wouldprovide facilities which would encour-age farmers all over Marlborough toiio in for more breeding of sheep andiattening of stock, since better accesswould be provided for markets. Oneiarrner told the Minister that becauseof the long journey to Canterbury, theweight of lambs he had sent to thefreeing works had dropped by two*nd a half pounds. Railway access, itwas claimed, would reduce this de-preciation to a minimum.
OPPOSITION TO THEPROPOSAL
IMPROVEMENT OF ROADSURGED
fTHE PRESS Special Service.)
DUNEDIN, February 11.Reference was made at a meeting
of the Otago branch of the Farmers'Union to-day, by Mr R. S. Thompson,of Lawrence, lo the proposal to com-plete the railway line from Christ-church to Picton.
Mr Thompson said the expense in-volved was not justified. The farmingcommunity already held that railwaycharges were too high, and the com-pletion of an unpayable line wouldadd to railway expenses and increasecosts. He put forward an argumentthat if work for the unemployed wasrequired they could be engaged on theimprovement of roads, a work whichwas badly needed. The best return forthe expenditure of public money wasto be had from roads and not fromrailways. He moved the followingmotion:—
"That in view of the tremendoustime lag in the improvement of Domin-ion roads, and the urgent necessity ofproviding roads suitable for fast-moving motor vehicles, the Govern-ment be urged to undertake the workof widening, realigning, regrading, andsurfacing all main highways as a firstscheme to provide work for the un-employed. It is considered that thiswork should be undertaken in prefer-ence to the construction of railwaylines which departmental investiga-tions have reported could be run onlyat a loss."
Mr Inder said that the roads wouldnever carry the heavy traffic, whichwas borne cheaply by the railways.
TJie motion was carried.
BREAD PRICES
Effect of TransportCharges
POSITION OF PROVINCIALTOWNS
(PRIS<S A3SOCUTIOK TILEOBAM.)
WELLINGTON, February 11.Enquiries in official circles as to the
price of the standard loaf in provincialcentres and towns at some distancefrom a main port or centre for thedelivery of flour at the fixed priceshowed that the authorities have madearrangements to safeguard standardbread purchasers against undue ex-ploitation.
It is plain that on a geographicalbasis there will be many differencesin transport charges. Some bakersmay nave to pay more for the trans-port oi flour than others, and yet maynot have to pay enough more to justifyan additional charge of a halfpennyfor the 21b standard loaf to meet theincreased transport charge. In suchcases an adjustment will have to bemade, to prevent the exploitation ofconsumers in the one instance andundue loss to the bakers in the other.
It would appear that outside themain centres where delivery ot flourcan be maintained at a uniiorm lixedprice, the transport charges to baitersm provincial towns and rural districtswill have to be checked by the authori-ties to prevent overcharging for bread.As one official said to-day, '"Thesedifficulties and possible anomalies willhave to be adjusted as the result ofexperience."

[THi: PRESS Special Service.!AUCKLAND, February 11.
In pursuance of the Government'snew policy in respect to the stabilisa-tion of the price of wheat, flour, andbread, the output of every mill in NewZealand producing flour, bran, and pol-lard is now the property of the Gov-ernment. Bakers and others who havebeen accustomed to receive their sup-plies from different mills have to dealdirect with the Government depart-ment, the flour sub-committee of theWheat Committee.

NIGHT BAKING
DISCUSSION BY TIMARUPOWER BOARD
PROTEST AGAINST SUGGESTEDDISCONTINUANCE
(SI'ICIAL TO THI I'KESS.)
TIMARU. February 11.In consequence of the announcement
of the Minister for Employment (theHon. H. T. Armstrong) that he is pre-pared to introduce legislation to pro-hibit night baking, the South Canter-bury Electric Power Board decided to-day to endorse the action of the chair-man. Mr G. Dash, and engineer. Mr G.W. Morrison, in protesting to the Elec-tric Power Boards' and Supply Auth-orities' Association and in preparing amemorandum to be circulated to allboards and master bakers' associationsin New Zealand.
The Power Boards' Association hasreplied saying that it is conferringon the question with the Public WorksDepartment, which is investigating theposition.
The memorandum says that the Min-ister's proposal affects not only the em-ployees and makers, but was a seriousmatter for power boards, because alarge auantity of electricity used innight baking could not be economicallysupplied during the day hours. Theboard supplied the current for nightbaking at §d a unit. The cost tothe board in day hours was Id a unitplus the costs of distribution, whichwere at l"ast as much.
It could be easily seen that no powerboard c:uld sell for Jd power whichcost it 2d.
The load to make the alterationwould in one bakery cost about £6OO.
The income from night sales enabledboards to keep at a reasonable ratethe price of electricity to the workingman.
NEW ZEALANDPOLITICS
A STUDY OF PERSONNEL
SOME GENERAL CONCLUSIONS
(SPECIALLY WRITTEN FOB THE PRESS.I
[By LEICESTER and CAROLINE WEBBj
(IV.)
The three previous articles in thisseries have contained an analysisof the ages, occupations, and educa-tions of members of the New Zea-land Parliaments and Ministriesfrom the inauguration of represen-tative government in 1354 to thepresent day.
A general summary of the resultsinvites some striking conclusions.The average of ages, both for mem-bers of Parliament and for CabinetMinisters, rises in a steady progres-sion from about 40 in 1854to 60 in 1931. Between 1912and the present, time there has
l been only one Cabinet Ministerunder 40 and only 14 Cabinet Min-isters under 50 in a total of 119.
Parallel with this increase in theages, there has been a rapid de-terioration in educational standards.Between 1854 and 1871 only one-sixth of the members of Parliamentfor whom information is availablehad only primary educations; butbetween 1911 and 1935, more thanhalf of the members of Parliamenthad only primary educations. Of102 Cabinet Ministers who heldoffice between 1856 and 1873, sixhad only primary educations. Of130 Cabinet Ministers who heldoffice between 1911 and 1935, 52 hadonly primary educations. These con-trasts, as readers of the previousarticles in this series will realise,are not the result merely of thedecline of the early colonial aristo-cracy which held political power inthe early period of New Zealand'sparliamentary history.
The decline in the educationalstandard goes on steadily through-out practically the whole history ofthe New Zealand Parliament. Theexception is a slight improvementin the Parliament elected in 1935.
Though the occupational classifi-cations lend themselves less easilyto generalisation, they confirm theimpression conveyed by the otherclassifications, The general ten-dency is for the professional elementto decline and for politics to bedominated increasingly by smallfarmers, small traders and shop-keepers, and trade union secretaries.
To draw the obvious conclusionsfrom the figures presented in thesearticles is to incur the risk of muchabuse and misunderstanding. Thepolitical outlook of many New Zea-landers is a curious blend of senti-mentality and inverted snobbish-ness. They recognise the value ofcompetitive examinations as amethod of selecting efficient andenlightened civil servants. They donot. raise the cry of snobbishness orclass distinction when a firm insiststfuil its office boys shall have passedmatriculation. They insist that itshall be possible for anyone of aver-age intelligence and very limitedmeans to obtain a university de-gree. But suggest to them that in-telligence and literacy are as desir-able in members of Parliament asin office boys and they will retorthotly that there are many foolswith university degrees u\\d thatAbraham Lincoln had no schooling.It is surely time, in this country atany rate, to admit that a good edu-cation is not a mark of wealth orprivilege. And it is surely time toadmit that the business of govern-ing the country is a responsiblebusiness, requiring the services ofmen who can at least measure upto the standards of intelligence andeducation prescribed for office boys.It is quite true that men withoutformal education have been strik-ingly successful in politics as inother occupations. Few will arguefrom this that education is a handi-cap in politics; and fewer still woulddeny that, over the long period afall in the standard of educationamong politicians, particularly whenit is accompanied by an increase inthe average of ages, must adverselyafreet the quality of government.When a Cabinet Minister is ap-pointed in New Zealand the mathe-matical, probability is. as things areat present, that he will be more than60 years old and that he will havehad only an elementary education.
The*low and still declining stand-ard of ability and education amongpoliticians in this and other coun-tries is excused by some politicianson the grounds that ability and edu-cation are not the primary essen-tials. Parliament, they point out,does not govern the country; it iseven doubtful whether Parliamentlegislates, since the power to framemeasures and to decide what amend-ments shall be accepted has in prac-tice passed to the executive. Thetrue function of Parliament is torepresent; and all that is necessaryis that it should fairly reflect thesocial composition of the commun-ity, that it should be a microcosmof society. It is difficult to acceptsuch a narrow interpretation of themeaning of the term "representa-tive government" and still moredifficult to believe that, if the in-terpretation is a correct one, repre-sentative government has any futurein the modern world. If an electivebody is nothing more than a socialmicrocosm, a means of keeping thegovernment in touch with the wishesand opinions of the country, it islargely unnecessary. The govern-ment of to-day' learns what thepeople are thinking from the press,from public meetings, from resolu-tions passed by the many functionalassociations which are an increas-ingly important part of modernsocial organisation, and from theconfidential reports of its own agentsin the electorates. And thesesources are certainly a much morereliable guide than the opinions of■members of Parliament expressedin debate.
The truth is that, to be represen-tative in the truest sense of theword, an elective assembly cannotbe content merely to reflect thegeneral level of intelligence andability in the community as a whole.Social needs are not written on thesurface of affairs for all to read; norare they always understood by thosewho feel them. The governmentwhich expects guidance from popu-lar clamour is heading for disaster.Those who would represent the com-munity must have the ability andthe intelligence to understand thecommunity.
It would seem, too, that the effectof the declining quality of member-ship in elective bodies upon thequality of government has been un-duly minimised. Admittedly repre-sentative bodies do not govern, in
the positive sense of the term. Butin two ways they do affect thequality of government. It has tobe remembered that, under theBritish system of parliamentarygovernment, members of the execu-tive must be chosen from the elec-tive body. It follows that a declinein the standard of membership inthe elective body must be followedby a decline in the standard ofmembership in the executive, a pro-position which the figures quoted inthe first part of this paper show tobe true for New Zealand at any rate.Again, elective bodies do have animportant influence on the qualityof legislation. It is true that theexecutive frames legislation and re-serves to itself the right to decidewhat amendments shall be accepted.But in practice the executive isseldom willing to appear to coercethe elective chamber; and unlessthe issue is vitally important it willprefer a compromise to a wrangle.The consequence is that in GreatBritain and the Dominions almostall legislation bears the marks ofthe parliamentary process. Andthey are disfiguring marks. Theproved superiority of delegated todirect legislation is a testimony tothe negative influence of electivebodies upon government.
STORM DAMAGEAT NELSON
TOBACCO CROPS AREAINSPECTED
REPORT TO BE PREPARED BYGOVERNMENT
(SPBCIAL TO T*S FRBgS.)
NELSON, February 11.A comprehensive survey of the
tobacco crops throughout the Nelsondistrict following the destructive hail-storm of Friday last shows that theearly estimates of the setback whichgrowers suffered was not exaggerated.
Mr Nash, representative of the Na-tional Tobacco Company, has statedthat never in Jiis experience had thedistrict's crop undergone such a visi-tation. The damage would easily ac-count for at least one-third of thetotal crop. Seventy-five per cent, ofthe leaf harvested would be only sec-ond and third-grade, a greater propor-tion being third-grade. Some growerswould be heavy losers, and in somecases growers would not harvest asingle leaf, their crop being totallydestroyed.
Mr Nash estimated as a result of thestorm and frost, the district would bepoorer this year by £60,000.
The Minister for Agriculture has ad-vised Mr K. J. Holyoake, M.P. forMotueka, that he is arranging an im-mediate report to be furnished on thehailstorm damage.
TRAFFIC INSQUARE
PLANS DISCUSSED FORIMPROVEMENT
BEAI'TIFYINC; ASSOCIATION'SSCHEME
"Cathedral square is a great joke tooverseas visitors, as well it might be,".said Mr R. B. Owen, president of theChrislchurch Beautifying Association,which met last night. "Pedestrians,cyclists, motor-cars. train-cars—theyare all mixed up. The Square has beenaptly named the place of the 'dodg-ems'." Mr Owen laid before the meet-ing a plan of the Square designed toobviate traffic confusion. The plan isreproduced in "The Press" this morn*i"g-
Possibly. Mr Owen added, it was be-yond the province of a beautifying as-sociation to suggest to a tramway boardthat it should relay the rails; but heintended to bring the plan before thenotice of those authorities.
"That may do a lot of good." re-marked a member. "They'll have theSquare a mass of tram tracks if theykeep going."
It was essential that somethingshould be done to bring order out ofthe chaos, Mr Owen said. It was noless than a duty. The appearance ofthe Square might please people; but.beauty did not count for much unless itwere attended by orderliness and com-plete safety. One could feel sorry forpedestrians as things wore at present.
Provision is made in the plan for anew yarking place at the side of theRicearton tram zone nearer the postollice. The suggestion is for a three-minute limit in the area. Footpaths,raised two or three inches across theangles of the Square, have also beenthought of; and this particularly com-mended itself to the meeting. Theywould add greatly to the apoearanceof the Square, Mr Owen considered, ifthey were faced with glazed bricks.
GROWTH OF THECITY
INCREASE IN PROPERTYVALUES
GKADI/AL EXTENSION OIHOrXDAIHKS.
A comparison of capital and un-improved values in the city ofChristchurch over a period of yearsgives an illuminating example ofthe growth of the city. Boundarieshave gradually been extended totake in suburbs over the years, thelast addition to the city being in1923, when Papanui was added. Butapart from these additional in-creases to the council's area, byfar the greatest improvement toits rateable value has come fromincreased property values, and thetotal of the city's capital value atApril 1 last year was almost fourtimes as great as in 1907-08, andmuch more than twice as great asin 1915-16.
By 1923, when all outside ■ bor-oughs at present in the area hadbeen added, except Papanui, thecapital value had grown tremen-dously, but another £10,000,000 hasbeen added to its capital value sincethen.
The figures for the four years inwhich comparisons have been takenare all from the official year book-issued by the Christchurch CityCouncil.
They are as follows:--Capital UnimprovedValue. Value.

MARLBOROUGHTOUR
Minister Given WarmWelcome
MANY DEPUTATIONS
HEARD
[From Our Own Reporter.]
KAIKOURA, February 11."Marlborough has often been called
the Cinderella province of New Zea-
land, but we feel that the prince whohelped Cinderella has come into ourmidst," said a member of a -deputationwhich gave a welcome to the Ministerfor Public Works (the Hon. R. Semple)on his tour of northern Marlboroughto-day. Whenever the Ministerstopped to hear deputations—and therewere a good many during the longdrive from Blenheim to Kaikoura—-hewas given the warmest of welcomes byfarmers and residents.
At Clarence Bridge, Mr A. J. Mur-ray, one of the most prominent far-mers in the province, heartily congrat-ulated the Minister and the Laoourparty on securing office, and on theattitude the party was taking up overthe South lsiand main trunk railway.Earlier in the day, Mr Sempie andins parly, which included Mrs Sempie,Mr E. P. Meachcn, member tor tludistrict, Mr J. Wood, acting-chief en-gineer of Public Works, and otherofficials, were entertained at luncheonuy another Dig sheep farmer, Mr S.Bennett, of Kekerangu, where MrSempie heard some first-hand opinionsfrom settlers who favour the comple-tion of the line to Canterbury.
There were deputations all alongthe route liom Blenheim to Kaikoura,where the party stayed the night. AtSeddon. the Minister told a deputationIrom tne local county council that theGovernment was entirely sympatheticwith i;uch schemes as the one proposedby the council for a stock water supplyfor the Awatere Valley, and prom-ised to give what assistance was pos-sible. He gave another sympatheticanswer to a request for the construc-tion of a bridge at a cost of about£6OOO over the Hodder river, in theAwatere Valley. He said he wouldrecommend a subsidy on a oasis oLlour to one, if the county councilwould be willing to linrt ns share orthe cost, and on receiving an assur-ance that the county would most iikeiybe willing to agree, he told the depu-tation that the bridge would be goneon with on those conditions.
Deputation's RequestAt Clarence bridge, a deputation
complained that land which it wasproposed to take for an emergencylanding ground was useful agricultur-ally, and that a contiguous area couldbe secured which was much more suit-able and less valuable for farming. TheMinister promised to get engineers tolook into the problem, and said thatif there was uo objection from thepoint of view of (lying, he would cer-tainly recommend the use of the sitethat was less valuable agriculturally.Tiiis meeting gave cheers for MrSemple and his wife.
At Kekeraii.mi representations weremade for the maintenance of a trackmore than ;">0 miles long, which runsinto the Clarence galley to a/big runat the Bluff station. There more than!)000 sheep are run. but the only accessis bv a narrow track used by pack-horses and mules. The Governmentonce -spent ,CSOOO on the track, andthe settlers are asking that it shouldfix the responsibility lor maintenance.The Minister agreed to look into thequestion.
At Kaikoura. Mr Semple was givena welcome by Mr F. J. Monk, chairmanof the County Council, and receivedan enthusiastic reception, the crowdcheering the Minister and the Gov-ernment. Vie gave a speech in whichhe was frequently cheered, and par-ticularly keenly when he said that inless than three months there would notbe a relief worker on public works inNew Zealand. Another announcementreceived with equal enthusiasm waythai the Government was determinedto pay more attention than had everbeen paid before to the interests Ofthe backblock settlers, who were in
need of better access.In the evening Mr Semple and the
party were the guests at a dinner givenby the County Council, and presidedover by Mr Monk. The health of MrSemple and Mr Meachen. member forthe district, was drunk with musicalhonours.
At Kaikoura the Minister had againto hear several deputations about high-way and other matters.
Canterbury ItineraryThe Minister will leave for Christ-
church to-morrow morning, and it isexpected that the parly will be able toget through the Conway wash-out bycar without, trouble. The Ministerwill spend the night in Christchurchand will leave the next morning for avisit to Ashburfon and South Canter-bury. Mr Semple will arrive at Ash-burton at 9.35 a.m. on Thursday, spendan hour there, and then go on to Ti-maru, arriving there at 1.30 p.m. AtTimaru he will be the guest at a bigmeeting of farmers which is being held,to discuss a water supply scheme. Theparty will return to Christchurch thesame day, and will leave for Welling-ton in the evening.
ADMINISTRATIONOF THE CITY
POWERS OF COUNCIL
BEAUTIFYING ASSOCIATION'SDISCUSSIONS
"We don't seem to be cutting muchice with the City Council lately." Thiscomment from a member of the Christ-church Beautifying Association, whichmet last night, was made upon a seriesof rebuffs to suggestions which the as-sociation has made to the City Council.
One reply in particular was discussedat length. The association had askedthat sanitary pipes facing the streetshould be camouflaged. However, itwas not a matter for the City Council,the association was told. It concernedthe Drainage Board.
"As if the Drainage Board could beexpected to bother about the appear-ance of the city!" one member said."Its business is to see to the disposalof sewerage."
The •'multiplicity of local bodies" wasdisparaged. A situation, where thehead authority of the city had no juris-diction over a board, was extraordin-ary, it was said. The trouble, themeeting agreed, was that the CityCouncil had overlooked this pointwhen the building by-laws wereframed. Now it was putting the blameupon the Drainage Board.
There was discussion on the controlof the city in general. Words fre-quently used were "eyesore" and"monstrosity." Once the city had beentruly beautiful; now it was deteriorat-ing, members said. Many blocks offlats were causing it to lose its indi-viduality. It was hard, for those whowould pride themselves upon thebeauty of the city, to look upon un-sightly fences and hoardings and un-tidy roadsides—all of them eyesores,and some of them monstrosities.
Before the meeting were two casesof the City Council's lack of nower.It had not the power to remove hoard-ings, nor could it combat what mightgrow into a fearsome array of sanitary
[ pipes'.
ACCIDENTSCHILD DROWNED
SON OF MR ALF BRUSTAD
Carl Waiter Brustad, aged two years
and two months, the only child of Mr
All Brustad. was drowned in the dip
on his father's property at Waiau yes-
terday morning. The father and otherswere in the woolshed talking, and the
child was with them. He evidently
wandered away, but his action was
unnoticed for about 10 minutes. Asearch was made, and almost immedi-ately he was found in the sheep dip.Efforts'at resuscitation were made andDr. Todd, of Rotherham, was immedi-ately called by telephone. He found,however, that the child was dead.
Great sympathy is felt with MrBrustad, who was formerly wellknown' as a guide at the Hermitage,Mount Cook. It will be recalled thatMrs Brustad. who was, formerly MissAroha Clifford, died at the birth ofthis child.

CONSUMPTION OFWATER
Huge Quantity Used
In City
RETURNS OVER LONG
PERIOD
More than, 1300 million gallons oiwater were needed to supply the needsof • the city of Christchurch for theyear ended March 31 last. The totalwas the highest but one that has everbeen used in the city, the record hav-ing been established in 1932, when 1377millions were used. The figures forthe last few years show an enormousincrease over the figures for 1913, whenthe high pressure system first cameinto operation, and on the years im-mediately after it. By degrees the totalcrept up each year from 1913, but itwas not until 1927 that the total ex-ceeded 1000 million gallons, whichwas more than double the amountused in 1913.
Comparative TotalsThe following figures, from the offi-
cial reports submitted to the Christ-church City Council, give the totalquantity of water pumped at all sta-tions since the inception of the water-works high pressure system:—
The total yearly consumption has in-creased by 38.4 per cent, since 1926as against 35.8 per cent, increase inconnexions. The maximum daily con-sumption, however, has increased by50.1 per cent. Because of the small-ness of th« reservoir, it is necessary tokeep the maximum pumping capacityapproximately equal to the maximumhourly demand, and this is about twicethe average hourly demand on a dayof maximum consumption.
METEOROLOGICALDEPARTMENT
REORGANISATION URGEDBY FARMERS
STRONG CRITICISM OF WEATHERREPORTS
associatio* \«LiaaAM.iAUCKLAND, February 11.
"That, in view of the misleading
weather reports published daily in thenewspapers, which can only be classedas dead reckonings or rule of thumb,
we request that the MeteorologicalDepartment be reorganised," was aremit moved by Mr T. D. Bathgate,of Kaipara, at a meeting of the Pro-vincial Executive of the FarmersUnion to-day.
The mover said that for the last fewmonths the Government forecast hadbeen mostly "Scattered showers," andit was a common saying now, whenscattered showers were prophesied,that one could look forward to adeluge. The first warning of a stormwas a fall in the barometer. In hisdistrict, 300 or 400 pigs and sheep hadbeen lost which, with a warning, mighthave been removed to safe ground.
Mr J. H. Furniss said that severallives had been lost because no warninghad been given.
An amendment moved by Mr A. B.Moore, "That the Government be re-quested to place larger financial re-sources at the disposal of the Depart-ment," lapsed for want of a seconder.
The remit was adopted in the fol-lowing form:—"That this meeting re-quests that the Government Meteoro-logical Department be reorganised."

TRADING REMAINS QUIET
(BY OCn COMMEBCIA.L . EDITOR.)Tuesday Evening.
The wet weather has held up har-vesting temporarily, but it will havedone nothing but good provided thenext few days continue warm and dry.Deliveries of all descriptions of pro-duce have been held up, particularlydeliveries of wheat, which was comingin freely. Until full details of the newprices for wheat are known, the mar-ket is not particularly keen to buyfowl wheat, but in the meantime theannouncement of a rise in the price ofmilling wheat to the farmer has madethe price rise a little.
The oat market is at present inrather a curious position. The lowprices offering for oats induced a largenumber of growers to put their cropsinto stack, and there have been con-siderably fewer offerings of Algerians.White oats are still offered freely.There have been no changes in theprices offering.

TURF GOSSIP
Riding at WlngatulSome riding engagements made for
to-morrow's programme at Wingatuiare as follows:—A. E. Ellis, Silver Ring,Wild Chasei, Knockfin; L.. J. Ellis,Converse, Top Coat, Silver. Streak, Kin-noull, Custos, McHeath, Mount Val;M. Kirwan, Cape Gabo, Double Gift;J. Jennings, Golden King, Violenta;G. Humphries,
.Cerne Abbas, Rival
Shot; D. O'Connor, Arctic Star; A. Mes-servy, Concertpitch, Greek Shepherd,Pelmet, Cranford.A Strong Contingent
Following on their poor efforts insoft going at Riccarton on Saturday,Tout le Monde, Invoice, and SilverJest did not make the trip to theDunedin meeting. Rebel Chief, whowas not produced on Saturday owing
to the track conditions, will also bean absentee from the meeting. TheRiccarton representatives are as fol-lows:—Knockfin, Greek Shepherd, Pel-met, Cranford, Concertpitch, WildChase, Rival Shot, Fair Weather, Epic,Gustos, Cerne Abbas, Penelope, Mc-
• Heath, Capital, Cape Gabo, Cottingham.Latitude, Arctic Star, Violenta, RonaBay, Davolo, Great Star, and CheapMoney.No Recommendation
Linoleum is due to contest thehurdle race at Wingatui to-morrow. Hehas not had a great deal of schooling,and the race on Saturday was of nouse to him as he was eliminated atthe first fence. He and his stable-mate, Sisterina, figure on the cards forthe Winton and Gore meetings follow-ing tDunedin, and it is intended thatthey will fulfil their engagements.Bright Prospects
Rival Shot was narrowly beaten bySovereign Lady over six furlongs atRiccarton last Saturday with Last Re-frain and Countervane next. SovereignLady .will not be in to-morrow's TrialHandicap field at Wingatui, but theother three will face'the starter, andon Saturday's form Rival Shot shouldhold them safe even over the extrafurlong.Okawa Representatives"It very seldom occurs that a Hawke's
Bay owner is represented at a Dune-dm meeting, the case of Cuddle andher Hastings owner-trainer, C. Stowe,12 months ago being the first for manyyears. This year Mr T. H. Lowry willnave Senior and Plato to carry hiscolours, and both will be in charge ofF. Dayis, whose previous trip to Dun-edin was made 'wnen he was followinga riding career. Senior was consid-ered to be unlucky on the concludingday of the -recent Wellington meeting,as his rider lost an iron at the start,and without getting any assistancefrom his rider, Senior finished closeup to the placed division. Accordingto North Island information, he is re-cognised as one of the favourites forto-morrow's cup, and Plato will carrystrong support In his engagement. AtTrentham last month, Plato, carrying8-10, won the January Handicap, onemile, from After Money and Passion.Fruit, with Tunnelier and Fracas fol-lowing, after leading throughout. To- jmorrow he has 0-1 over the same jour-1rey, and the opposition cannotbe con-sidered as powerful as\ at Trentham.A Valuable Race
There are 83 entries for the SantaAnita Handicap, one mile and a quar-ter, to be run on February 22. Thestake is £20,000 and the entry fee £SO,with an additional £l5O to start.Among the entries is the former NewZealander, Pillow Fight, but an Ame-rican exchange states that it will oc-casion considerable astonishment if hefinishes among the first four. As thereis a maximum weight of 9-4, the raceis at present looked upon as somethingof a good proposition for the championDiscovery.
Pillow Fight, for whom Mr D. J.Davis paid about 3000 guineas in thehope of getting another Phar Lap; wassold in the States recently for about£IOO. Pillow Fight won a good raceor two before being shipped to theUnited States of America, but in thatcountry he proved a failure.Expensive Sprinter
The outstanding failure of the firstday's racing at New Plymouth wasDiatomous. Pbssibly the dead state ofthe going had something to do with it,but it was the worst showing he hasmade for a long time. Refresher, thewinner of Handicap, is 10years old and was originally one ofJ. T. Jainieson's team before thatjoiner went to Sydney. Refresher'sform, is remarkable for his age andit' would appear that he was neverbetter than he is now, but at the spmetime it is not a compliment to thepresent-day class.High Class•. Silver Streak, who cost Mr E. Aubrey55 guineas as a yearling, has started94 times and won 19 races. His totalwinnings amountto £3500, about £B3Oof which was won during the currentSeason. For a time he ran in thecolours of his trainer, T. Hobbs, but
,he has always been owned by MrAubrey. . Silver Streak should addto his record this week at Wingatui.Increased Stakes
The Oamaru Jockey Club has in-creased the stakes for its autumnmeeting to be held on March 21 and23 from £1695 last year to £IB6O, anincrease of £165. The chief event onthe first day is the President's Handi-cap, one mile, 175 sovs, and on.thesecond day the Gardiner MemorialHandicap, one mile and a quarter, 200sovs. The programme for the meet-ing will be circulated shortly.The Regulation Hurdle
The question whether Arctic Starcould be rehandicapped for Wingatuibecause of his win at Riccarton wasa subject of discussion after he won.The Rules of Racing supply specifica-tions and- direction for the uniformhurdle to be in use. The height andmeasurements are set down, and byno stretch of imagination can thebrush obstacles in use gt Riccarton beheld to comply with the regulationhurdle. The term hurdle was intro-duced at Riccarton with the object ofhaving the race over less than thetwo miles which is the minimum dis-tance for a steeplechase. The racesat Riccarton were originally termedbrush steeplechases. The Dunedinhandicapper sot over the difficulty byraising Arctic Star 21b for his win.Bred In Australia•. Aussie Ra, the winner of the Tara-riaki Cup, is ah Australian-bred geld-ing who has made substantial improve-ment lately. Just before the Christ-mas meeting he was running in hackcompany, and won in hacks and thenin open class at the Manawatu meet-ing. He was an unlucky runner inthe Stratford Cup, in which he fin-ished fourth to his stablemate Davis-tock, and he was a better-fancied run-ner on that occasion. He ran secondin the Ashhurst Cup at his previousstart to that at New Plymouth. AussieHa sticks on solidly in his races, ftis interesting to learn that his owner,Mr F. Sjirten, decided to buv him atthe yearling sales on account of allthe New Zealand-bred lots he likedbeing snapped up by the Australianbuyers, leaving only one of their ownbreeding to fit his price and fancy.American'Devices: For its second winter racingseason theLos Angeles turf Cluta will again usemechanical devices that are consid-ered vital improvements in racin-r.Improved and advanced equipment hasbeen installed in order to have thecamera finishes, that wer? used forthe first time last season. Theseproved such a signal success that otherstates are -rlannmg to adopt the sys-tem, the New York Racing Commis-sion having already recommended itsuse on all its tracks. Pictures ofclose finishes are furnished to thejudges from two to three minutes afterthe finish of the race, and are consid-ered most valuable in the correctplacing of the horses. Copies of thepictures are to be displayed on bul-letin boards throughout the park forinspection by the public.-' Light-wave timing, known as "TheElectric Eye," is also going to havenew equ,runent, with a bulletin boardwithin view of thi spectators to flashthe sectional times. It is an electricalsystem thrt records to a hundredthof a secv-.id, and is considered import-ant in obtaining perfect timing., An in.n-vatki! this season, used for
first Vme in the history of racing,will be the taking of motion picturesof'the starts with a special three-waylens cemera. There, v. 11 also be asteward at the start,., It is figuredthis plan will work,for the improve*ment of starting and correct the faultscf jockeys, horses, and assistant-start-ers at the starting gate.

Acceptancesfor the Canterbury ParkTrotting Club'a meeting will close to-day at 12 noon.Rehandicaps
The following rehandicaps have beendeclared for the Canterbury Park Trot-ting Club's meeting:—
Progressive Handicap—Little Reta,penalised 36 yards, now 48 yards be-hind. ,
Paparua Handicap—Sure, penalised12 yards, now 36 yards behind.At Addington
At Addington yesterday Bessie Par-rish, Raima, Kuini, Gay Sister, and BlueMountain were associated in a work-cut over a mile and a half. The lastrnamed conceded a start and registeredbetter than 3min 29sec. He is in niceorder for immediate engagements.... Rongomai and Full Hand- paced amile and a quarter in 2min 56sec, WiseGuy (in saddle) a mile in 2min 13sec,a promising effort, in view of Satur-day's engagement.
R. Young, driving a young pacer,received a spill when the horse fellwith him, but facial abrasions and asevere shaking were the extent of hisinjuries.
Wrecker paced two miles in 4mln35sec and Grand Mogul the same dis-tance in 4min 42sec. Lynwood's mileand a quarter in 2min 44sec was anexcellent performance.Of Interest to New Zealand
Logan Derby, who has played a pro-minent part in the decision of theInter-Dominion Championships, is asix-year-old son of Globe Derby andBelle Logan, the latter a mare takento Tasmania by Mr E. A. Tatlow, whenin foal to Native King. Behind LoganDerby is a wealth of good breeding,for he is by Globe Derby, from BelleLogan by Logan Pointer—Curfew Bellby Wildwood—Bonnie Bell by LincolnYet, and the fourth dam is an Arabmare. Two of the leaders in thechampionships are of great interest toNew Zealand, and both carry the bloodof a renowned sire in Globe Derby.The Wildwood blood appears in thethird remove of both New Derby andLogan Derby, and with the strains ofGlobe Derby it is not surprising thatgood racehorses are produced. GlobeDerby was by Mambrino Derby fromSpringheel, who was by Globe (a sonof Huon) from Fidget, who was byVancleve—Madcap. The combinationof Logan Pointer, Wildwood, and Van-cleve blood should produce a cham-pion if anything should. The Inter-Dominion championship is far fromwon, but at present the prospects ofNew Derby and Logan Derby will ap-peal to students of form. Belle Loganis the dam of Dillon Logan, who helda mile and a quarter record of 2min42 l-ssec, and raced with success underthe care of D. Rodgers, who nowtrains horses at New Brighton.Rol l'Or
While Roi l'Or is resting in Adelaide,making a protracted but sure recoveryfrom injuries received during loading
1operations, the champions ot Australiaare fighting the contests In Perth. In
,ths first of the series on Saturday Au-burn Lad was the star performer, witha record of 2min Bsec, and in the ord-inary course of events Roi l'Or wouldhave conceded 24. yards, to this geld-ing, and would need to have registeredabout 2min 6sec to have won. On asix furlong track this might not havebeen beyond the,capabilities of Roil'Or. The size of the track—less thanhalf a mile—must be considered, butthen again the going, a track of groundoyster shell, must be faster than theclay of Addingtori. Auburn Lad, whowas not regarded as a champion inNew Zealand, smashed the 2min Useemile record by two seconds, and itwould be interesting to know whatRoi l'Or could have done on the samecourse. If seems certain that Roi l'Or,fit and well, would have more thanpaid expenses had he raced at Perth.Sure *
Sure has come on rapidly under thecharge of S. A. Edwards, and nowassessed at 4min 27sec for two miles,she is rapidly approaching the bestclass. One more win over two mileswill make her eligible for the NewZealand Cup.Records at Hutt Park
The two-mile record for Hutt Parkis Roi l'Or's
.4min 21sec, registered
when he led home the select field thatconteste,d the New Zealand TrottingGold Cup in 1933, says the Wellington"Evening Post." Although Hutt Parkis one of the few grass tracks in.NewZealand that is banked, no sensationaltimes have been put up there, forthe reason that New Zealand Cuphorses are not frequent visitors. Itwas at the 1932 October meeting thatHarold Logan won the Cup Trial in2min 39 l-ssec, which is also a trackrecord.An Enthusiast
One of the keenest trotting enthus-iasts in Victoria in Mr H. Stevenswas recently interviewed by the•'Sporting Globe," and in his remarkshe said it was his good fortune tobecome acquainted in nis earlya trotting owner with J. J. Kennerley,who distinguished himself as a trainerfirst in Victoria and then in New Zea-land.
"Jack Kennerley and myself becamefirm friends," said Mr Stevens in re-lating some ot nis trotting experi-ences. "We were associated withgood winners %at various times, includ-ing Lincoln Huon in the. RichmondTndusand. Kennerley at the time wasliving in my home .and he had hishorses at. my staoies. I later wentwith him to New Zealand, where wewon numerous races, uuring our as-sociation we picked up Pearo Pronto,who afterwards oecame a nrst-ciassperformer in view Zealand and thesire of some great horses, includingImpromptu." According to Mr Stevens,Kennerley was uncanny in his judg-ment of pacers aim trotters. On oneoccasion Kennerley took a fancy toBombardier, an untried horse at Gee-long. The horse, although he was bya great sire in Ribbonwood from VeraTips, could not pace* better than a3min rate, but Kennerley < practicallyinsisted on his purchase. "I gave £2OOfor him," said Mr Stevens, "and 1thought it was a costly purchase, buthe developed into a great moneyspinner. He won 14 times and scored42 seconds and 35 thirds. We strucka lucky patch at the time, as bothBombardier and Pedro Pronto were ofthe same racing age. We took bothhorses to Tasmania and each won athis first start. Bombardier won allhis races at Richmond after that."

PROGRAMME FORTO-MORROW
The autumn meeting of the DunedinJockey Club will be opened at Winga-tui to-morrow and concluded on Sat-urday. The fields well filledand class is strongly representedthroughout the day's card. The trackis expected to.be in good order, butnot last. The win and place systemwill be in. operation. The programmeis as follows:

from 10-12 to 11-0 in the WarringtonHurdles for his win'at Riccarton, andthis small rise should not stop himfrom again winning. His strongest op-ponent appears to be Black Duke, but.the latter is not the liorse of old, andin -addition he will. be ridden by ahorseman having his first ride oyer thebattens. The Smuggler is on tnaVbutboth Chrysology and Sunward- havebeen hurdle winners. The finishbe confined to Arctic Star, Chrysology,and Black Duke. y

On her bold showing in the TrialStakes at Riccarton on Saturday, RivalShot will no doubt be one of the bestsupported in the Trial Handicap, fornon-winners. Others who have racedprominently of late have includedSunny Jean, Countervane, Fireguard,and Last Refrain. The favourites willprobably be Rival Shot, Last Refrain,and Countervane.

Top Coat, Final Bell,Surge, Violenta, and Linguist must allbe seriously considered, and thereshould be a close dispute for favour-itism. Surge, Top Coat, a;nd Concert-pitch may be in most demand.PUBLICANS' HANDICAP, of 350 sovs.

The form ofmost is so weYi known to racegoersthat it is not proposed to individualise.The final summing up will probably bein favour of Knockfin, Silver Streak,and Davolo.

WRESTLING
M'CREADY V. BLOMFIELD
Earl McCready has been a strongfavourite during his tour of New Zea-land, and in more than 40 contests he1.2s not lost a match. This is a recordthat speaks for itself, and is un-equalled by any wrestler ever to visitNew Zealand. McCready has al-ways been ready to test the best ofthe other visiting wrestlers, and inthe ring has shown a desire to get onwith his work, and to forget the cheap"showmanship" that has not helpedto advertise good, clean wrestling. Mc-Cready is a master of wrestling. Hisappearance in a ring is a guaranteeof a good, hard contest. He is eas-ily the best seen in New Zealand, and,incidentally, a sportsman. His workhas been clean, but effective and
bright, and when he steps out into thering to-night his'reception is assured.McCready is the wrestler to meet NewZealand's best. . '
Blomfleld, one of the few representa-tives of New Zealand in the wrestlingworld, has rained victories overfallexcept McCready, and the contestshould develop into a true test be-tween New Zealand and the best theworld can produce. McCready up tothe present is the master. Blomfleldcomes with a justified reputation, andwill not be easy to beat. The stageis set for one of the greatest contestsin wrestling in Christchurch, andBlomfleld may yet become championwrestler in New Zealander, and holderof the Empire championship.
This match has been arranged bythe Canterbury Wrestling Association.Box plans and day sales are at Lange s.
Earl McCrenay (Canada), whowill meet "Lofty"Blomfleld (NewZealand) for the British Empirewrestling championship at St.
James' Theatre this evening.
PLUNKET SHIELD
WELLINGTON WINS
TROPHY
OUTRIGHT DEFEAT EASILY
AVERTED
FINE SECOND INNINGS AGAINST
AUCKLAND >
(PBESB ASSOCIATION TELIGBAM.)
WELLINGTON, February IX.Though Auckland secured first
innings lead, Wellington avoided out-right defeat with comparative ease inthe interprovincial cricket; match atthe Basin Reserve to-das," and wonthe Plunket Shield. Wellington beatCanterbury and Otago °utnghV,.andlost on the first innings to Auckland,scoring 18 points. Auckland scored, anoutright win over Otago and beatCanterbury and Wellington on thefirst innings, scoring
_ .
To-day Auckland, replying to Wei-lington's first innings total Of 182,made 235. A declaration in an effortto force an outright win was not made,the visiting captain (A. J. Postles)preferring to let his batsmen get runsSickly or get out. Wellington battedall the afternoon for 308 for fivewickets, a feature being a great standof 201 for the third wicket by Lama-son who played a brilliant innings of127, and McLeod, who shaped, verysolidly for 94.
. Flay DescribedThe, Auckland batsmen sought to
push the score along in the morning,
so as to leave sufficient time to dis-miss Wellington. Two wickets fellquickly, Wallace (45 not out over-night) being brilliantly caught aftermaking 56. Hook was clean bowledby a fast one. Auckland then had fivemen out for 134.
Postles and Garrard then added 46in 22 minutes. Postles (23 not out atthe end of the first day) helped toraise the score from 40 to 180, andplayed -a most valuable innings. Gar-rard batted aggressively, making 40 in46 minutes. Cowie, sent in with in-structions to hit, slammed a slow ballinto the hands of Symes, and Edmondswas well taken at deep fine leg. Pear-son forced.the pace well at the finishof the innings, before Andrews, thelast man, was run out at 235.
The Wellington bowlers, who werewell handled in the morning, made it!not at all easy for the visiting batsmento score runs at the pace they de-sired. Griffiths was effective with hisslow bowling, taking four for 55 in14 overs in the morning, this makingfive for 90 for the innings Parsloe,fast medium bowler, worked veryearnestly, and for a time bowled well.For effectiveness the bowling dependedalmost wholly on these two.
Slow BattingMoloney and McLeod, opening for
Wellington on a perfect batting wicket,took their time, putting up 55 in 75minutes. Since Wellington could notwin on the first innings, the onlyother game open to the home teamwas to prevent an outright win byAuckland. From a tactical point ofview, the slow batting in the first twohours after lunch was justified. Someof the spectators, however, did notrelish the dullness of the play, andbarracked the batsmen*
Great PartnershipHowever, after Moloney went, Lama-
son and McLeod, in a great partner-ship, . put all prospect of a collapseout of count, and made the shield safefor Wellington. McLeod took 215minutes for 94. After the cheap dis-missal of Ell, Lamason attacked thebowling with resolution and effect. Hereached 50 in 50 minutes, not beingtroubled by the bowling (though hewas dropped on the boundary at 77),and went on to complete a brilliantcentury in 95 minutes. He was in fortwo hours for 127. For variety andsoundness of stroke play, it was prob-ably the best innings he has everplayed for Wellington.
The Auckland bowlers stood up totheir heavy task on a hard wicketwith great determination, though theyshowed signs of tiredness after after-noon tea, when it became obvious thatthe fate of the shield was decided.

M.C.C. TEAM PLAYSPOVERTY BAY
ENGLISHMEN DECLARE AT206 FOR FIVE
LOCAL SIDE SCORES 105
(FKBSS ASSOCIATION WJCOBAH.)
GISBORNE, February 11.There was excellent weather this
morning for the start of the match be-tween Marylebone and Poverty Bay.Holmes won the toss and the English-men took first use of the wicket, whichhad responded well to special prepara-tion, but the wearing qualities ofwhich appeared doubtful.
Sims opened the visitors' score witha single, but a few balls later was cleanbowled by Blafhwayt Hardstaffjoined Parks and the pair scored stead-;ily,' The slow bowlers reduced therate of scoring, but half a century ap-peared in 35 minutes. Hardstaff. withfine scoring strokes, soon overhauledParks, but, after scoring 39, he wasbowled by Blathwayt.
Holmes, after opening quietly, wastempted to open out to Stewart andwas caught by Sharp with a beautifulone-handed effort At the lunch ad-journment three wickets were downfor .90 runs.
Marylebone continued to score bnsK-ly after lunch, Mitchell-Innes scoringespecially freely, and eventually being
fourth out for 43 with the total at 139.Human followed, and immediately at-tacked the bowling, but. lost Parks(who had played very solidly for 45)
at 141. Human then hit out at every-thing and the score mounted rapidlyto 206, when the closure was applied.Blathwayt, a fast medium trundlerwith a deceptive swerve, did best ofthe local bowlers.
With just under two hours to play,Poverty Bay opened its innings, Boonscoring five off the first three balls,but eventually going for 12. Fourwickets were down for 26; but a finefighting innings by Reeves, who playedchanceless cricket, took the total, to105 all out just before stumps. Reeveshit three fours in his 51, andquently found gaps to the off for slash-ing drives. Of the visiting bowlers,Baxter impressed most, swerving theball remarkably and also effecting abreakback.

TWO RECORDS INONE RACE
BRILLIANT THREE MILE
RUN
C. H. MATTHEWS THRILLSCROWD
SPORTS MEETING AT ENGLISH
PARK
Canterbury's Olympic Games can-didate, C. H. Matthews, thrilledseveral hundreds at a sports meetingat English Park last evening with oneof the . finest, athletic . perform-ances ever seen in Canterbury.He set out to break the NewZealand , three-mile record, andnot only broke this with nearly nineseconds to spare, but at the same timetook the record for the two miles inhis stride. The meeting was certainlythe finest English Park has seen fora number of years, and recalled toolder athletic enthusiasts the record-breaking days of Randolph Rose andHahn.
Matthews ran his race in 14min 183-ssec, betting the former record.heldby J. W. Savidan, of Auckland, by j8 4-ssec. As part of the journey hecovered the two miles in 9min 17sec—-three seconds better than the NewZealand record held still by RandolphRose, another of New Zealand's mostfamous athletes. The merit of theseperformances can be better realisedwhen it is recalled that Savidan andRose have been two of the greatestfigures in New Zealand athletic his-tory. Both have competed with suc-cess in international company, andfor Matthews, a 21-year-old andrapidly improving runner, it is easyto predict a brilliant future.
First of SeriesThe meeting was the first of a series
of combined athletic and cycling fix-tures which seem likely to bring Eng-lish Park back to its old fame as theheadquarters of these two sports inCanterbury. Matthews's performanceovershadowed others, but the severalhundred spectators were not slow toappreciate the outstanding merit ofother efforts.-
Matthews competed in a speciallyarranged handicap race, and had con-siderable assistance from a willing ifnot experienced field. Five watchestook check of the time. He was given4min 36sec, for the first mile, flmin17sec for the two, and 14min 18 3-ssecfor the thxee. Over a 14-lap coursehe ran another of the steady racesthat have distinguished his runningthroughout the season. He ran wellwithin himself from start to finish, andunwound a great sprint over the last200 yards. Such time for the distancewas quite unexpected, but athletic en-thusiasts will now look forward tosomething even better.
Broadway and BootThe most interesting of the other ath-
letic performances was the run inwhich T. G. Broadway and V. P. Bootwere associated, over the half-mile. Al-though neither was placed, they cov-ered the distance, Broadway fromscratch, and Boot from five yards, inImln 58sec. They hit the tape together,but Broadway was easing up, whereasBopt was running jon. The two sprintraces, over 75 yards and' 100 yards,
produced some interesting racing, inwhich all Canterbury's leading sprin-ters took part. The reappearance ofO. C. Gordon (Sydenham) and hiswin in the 75 yards constituted oneof the chief surprises of the evening.
The cycling again thrilled the crowd.The riders were in great form, in pre-paration for the Canterbury champion-ships, and were seen in several excit-ing finishes. The most notable per-formance of the evening was the Papa-nui team's ride for the Coates' Chal-lenge Cup. The time for this race, anItalian pursuit event, over one mile,was 2min 2 4-ssec, which, to' say theleast, was outstanding.
G. R. Giles, the brilliant sprinter,was in form again, and F. J, Grose,was also among the competitors. Spec-tators who remained late were re-warded with one of the best races ofthe meeting in the five miles, Gilesand Grose were up together in.a bril-liant sprint over.the last lap, Gilesgetting homo by. less than half a wheelto win in llmin 2 3-ssec.

A COMPLETESUCCESSROTARY CLUB'S APPEAL
AT CHRISTMAS
WORK REVIEWED AT MEETINGYESTERDAY
How .Complete a success the lastChristmas appeal of the ChristchurchRotary Club had been was shown byMr H. Duckworth, who reported uponthe work at a luncheon meeting of theclub, over which Mr L G. K. Stevenpresided yesterday.
The appeal last year had been car-ried out on a greatly reduced scale,Mr Duckworth said. This had beenmade possible through the Christmasbonus scheme of the Government. Theorganisers had been able to concen-trate on cases of prolonged sickness,deserted wives, and elderly people."I must say that all the cases wa
dealt with were really in need ofhelp," Mr Duckworth continued. Theclub in the future would no doubt beclosely concerned with similarschemes. The members must not nowforget that those who were helpedin the last distribution were assuredlymore deserving than those who hadbeen given assistance in the past.
The distribution had cost the club£470 10s Bd. Starting with a debitbalance, the club had come by thenecessary money through the follow-ing means:—Street appeal, £160; bandconcert, £SO; Government grant, £200;arid gifts from members and friends,£2Ol. After expenses had been paida balance of more than £63 was left.It was most gratifying that the clubhad not needed to draw upon its re-serve balance.
To each of 811 orphans, apart fromthe distribution of hampers, Is hadbeen sent This money had been paidinto the orphans' collection bbxthroughout the year.
The thanks of the club, Mr Duck-worth added, were due to many per-sons and to city firms for assistanceand gifts. He expressed appreciation,too. of the work done by the sub-com-mittees of the club itself.
Anniversary of RotarySince next Tuesday is the nearest day
to the anniversary of Rotary on whichthe Christchurch club will meet, thatday is to be observed as the time tocelebrate the inauguration of the move-ment. It is expected that the meetingwill be one of the highlights of theclub's activities this year. ProfessorJ, Shelley, a member of the club, isto speak on the contributions of Ro-tary to art and music. A fit musicalprogramme for the meeting is to beplanned by Mr T. M. Charters.
GREAT ROTARIAN
LIFE OF JOHN CRABTREE
An appreciation of John Cratftree,an exemplary Rotarian, was deliveredby Mr E. Hitchcock at a meeting ofthe Christchurch Rotary Club yesterday.Crabtree, at the time of his death, wasa director of Rotary International.
Although in electrical work thename of Crabtree had been long ahousehold word, the greatness of theman's services to Rotary was perhapsnot yet realised. Altogether Crabtrtehad been a remarkable man. As achildhe had known poverty. He was veryyoung when he was forced into thestark industrialism of the Lancashireof that time. Of education, as it isnow understood, he had had none. Yet,dying before he was 50 years of age,this man had left behind him a re-markable life achievement Althoughhe was looked upon as essentially abusiness man, he was. too, a brillianteconomist. In his lifetime he hadchallenged, and successfully, the ten-ets of some of the foremost recog-nised economists.
It was a great deal to think that aman of such exceptional gifts, of soremarkable a calibre,-and an internat?Idnal figure, had regarded Rotary as,the' movement which allowed; him tofind his fullest eelf-expression.

Brem-ner; The council adopted the recom-mendation of the committee. Thesecretary reported that the presentbursar, Mr G. J. Garner would securehis B.A. degree this year. The coun-cil, on the recommendation of thetutorial class committee, decided toapproach the college council with. avievi- of extending the period of MrGarner's bursary so that he may pro-ceed this year for his M.A. degree.

The explanation of the. d«ayis that it is not considered worth whileto establish a man here until,the civicaerodrome, a permanent headquarters,is established; and it;jseems unlikelytherefore that he will .take up thework for many months.
Meanwhile Canterbury, weather re-ports for the special aviation sectionof the Meteorological Office are Jieirigsent from the Christchurch MagneticObservatory, and this service is statedto be ptoving quite satisfactory.. Tele-grams containing all details of, theweather are sent every day sit 8.30a.m.,' noon, and 3 p.m., '• to the hieadoffice in Wellington, where reportsfrom all centres are gathered and fore-casts made to assist the pilots.
The records were hitherto to havebeen sent by Mr R. G. Simmers, whowas to have represented the Meteoro-!logical Office here. He was also .tohave made his own special forecastsand probably gone up in.'the air toobserve conditions at high altitudes;This special work is not being done;and probably will hot until the civicaerodrome is ready.
The municipal airport at HafewoodWill not, be established for manymonths yet. Formal resolutions to ac-quire the site, to make application tothe Local Government Loans Boardfor permission to raise a loan, and toask for an order-in-council authoris-ing it to built the airport on landnow owned by the Waimakariri RiverTrust, were passed at a meeting of the!City Council last week, and these andother formalities have yet to be gone-through.
AIR MAIL SERVICE INDOMINION
DEPUTATION TO MINISTER
, (PRBBS ABBOCIATIOK TXLtOBAU.)
DUNEDIN, February 11.The importance of a New Zealandair mail service was emphasised by adeputation from the Dunedin Cham-ber of Commerce, the Manufacturers'Association and the Importers' andShippers' Association, which waited onthe Postmaster-General (the Hon. F.Jones). The deputation asked thatoverseas air mails, inward and outwardbe carried by New Zealand internalair services at no additional chargeWhenever time could be saved; andthat an inland service be provided atthe lowest practicable surcharge. -
The Minister said that the Govern-ment hoped to make a pronouncementin a week or so. The question ofthe amount of surcharge for inland airmail was an important one, and ananswer was somewhat difficult to ar-rive at in view of the amount of sub-sidy that would be required.

NEW ZEALAND'S SEED CROP.
r * VERY valuable line of productionwhich is extending in the Domin-
ion is that of seeds, for which thereis a gooc'. export demand. The busi-ness is growing, and last season 54,000acres were used for harvesting peren-nial ryegrass seed, the yield being over17,0000001b, compared with a little over12,500,0001b the previous season. Italianand Western Wolths doubled last sea-son in acreage and production, thetotal weight of the crop being4,800,0001b. Cocksfoot harvested forseed in 1933-34 amounted to 724,6841b,but last season this had risen to thefine total of 1,876,3681b. To show whata satisfactory trade is being built upfor our grass seeds, exports of cloverand grass seeds for the seven monthsended last July were Valued at£153,015. compared with £66,000 dur-ing the corresponding time in 1934."N.Z.

Hpw many sheep that could - be,saved are allowed y> die each year anNew Zealand?
The than with the small propertysays that if 10 or 20 sheep die in ayear he puts It down to "natural
"big' man may be losing 5 to10 per. cent, of his flock each year,and "natural causes" is the consciencecompensator.
Frankly, the "natural causes" head-ing covers a multitude of mismanage-ment errors—most of them uncon-scious errors.
A lick is thought of, usually, onlyin a dry time4 and then it has to be"something cheap," such as rock salt,crude salt, salt and,molasses, or someof 'the low-price-per-ton licks which,if the sheep-owner analysed the cost,compared with results, he would dis-cover, were dear in the long run.
Plain salt, rock or crude, is betterthan a number of licks. More thana lick is needed to save severe losses.A mineral supplement, in thefornrofa stock lick is required. Lixit fillsthe bill as no other product can, andit is cheap measured with results. Infact, Lixit Is more than cheap—it iscostless, because, consistently used, itscost comes back to the user, plus agood profit.
