ST. ANNE'S GUILDSOCIETY.

THE ANNUAL MEETING. '

The tenth annual moating of St.Anne's Guild Society was hold yester-day, when Bishop West-Watson wasin the chair.

Addressing the members of the So-ciety, the Bishop said it was en-couraging to find that in spite of thedifficult times, the Home was stillgoing on an even keel. The laundry,the pardon, and the marmalade makingwere all useful to the Society. As wellas helping the finances, the work madethe girls feel that tney were doingsomething useful and productive. Thefinances, thanks to the gift of £IOOfrom Mrs Boyle's will, were in a goodposition, and £4l had been put to re-serves, which was very satisfactory.Also, the charges for improvements tothe laundry would not bo a recurringexpense. ■ .

Ho felt sura that everyone wouldagree with tho step that was beingtaken in undertaking the purchase otthe property. It would cost an extra£4O a year, but in time, the Societywould own its own Home.

Archdeacon F. N. Taylor, whomoved the adoption of the report andbalance-sheet, said many of jhe girlswho had left the home had come toregard it as p. real home—a pl a ce towhich they could return in times ofhardship, which was very gratifying.

Mr E. G. Hogg seconded the adop-tion of tho report and balance-sheet.He regretted that some of the parisheshad given little or no support to theHome.

Tho report and balance-sheet wereadopted

Mr Hogg moved that the council beempowered to bring down to the nextannual meeting a «;hcme for simplify-ing the rules for election of the coun-cil and to make swh further alterationas might he deemed necessary or advis-able.

IElection of Officers.

The following officers woro elected:Council, the Bishop of Christchurch,

Archdeacon F. N. Taylor, Dr. \V. Ir-ving, Sir Francis Boys, Mr E. G.Hogg, Mr A. C. Cottrell. Mother Dora,C.S.N.. the Rev. I'. Rove!!, SisterFrancis, C.S.N., Mrs W. G. Roberta,Mrs A. Julius, Mrs Orbell, Miss Mc-Ilraith, Mrs Peter Wood, Mrs 11. O.Hanby, Sister Catherine C.S.N., MrsA. H. Norris; secretary and treasurer,Mrs H. S. E. Turner; hon. medicalofficers, Dr. D. E. Currie, Dr. L.Bruce Stringer, and Dr. Mark Brown;hon. dental surgeon, Dr. A. Suckling;hon. solicitor, Mr T. D. Harinan; hon.auditors, Messrs W. Jameson and Son.

In the course of an interesting ad-dress on the work of the Home andthe difficulties encountered, SisterCatherine said the co-opcration ofmembers was wanted in the work ofthe Homo. The girls arrived at thehome at a difficult age and did notalways understand what was beingdone for them. They were inclined tobe critical of those above them, anddemanded a very high ideal.

It was true that there were someparents who were inclined to take ad-vantage cf the interest taken in chil-dren by the State and by the Church,but in many cases mothers failed tobring their daughters up in a correctmanner. It was for those girls thatthe home did so much good. The caseof each girl had to be individuallyoonsidered with great care.

HOSPITAL LADY VISITORS'ASSOCIATION.

A committee meeting of the HospitalLady Visitors' Association was held atthe Hospital, those present being MrsE. G. Hogg (in the chair), MesdamesR. Beals, C. J. Ward, F. Fleming, Stew-art, Meredith-Kaye, Missc3 Cardale, Lee,and Muir.

A motion of sympathy with Mr Owenin tho loss of his wife was paused;also with Miss Turner, whose brotherdied a few days ago, all members stand-ing as a mark of respect.

Mrs Bartram, for the patients' occu-pations work, reported 33 at presentworking. The amount spent on mate-rial was £1 15s 3d. During the pastmonth thirteen patients had beengranted one week each at the RhodesMemorial Home, four wero given asecond week, and one child was sent totho Cholmondeley Home for threoweeks; three garments wero «givcn toneedy patients. Accounts amounting to£47 Is 8d were passed.

Ten pounds was granted to the Nurses'Rest Cottage from the annual subscrip-tions, and £ls was granted towardsthe patients' Christmas gifts. The sumof £lO for clothing for the children'sward was granted, and also £1 Is forspectacles for a needy patient.

Mrs Hogg spoke in appreciation of thework of Mrs Owen, who was avalued member of the Association. MrsOwen's mother, Mrs Guise, was one ofthe earliest members of the Associa-tion, and for many years was a valuedand helpful member of committees. Onher death in 1916, Mrs Owen, then MissGuise, was elected to her place, and hadfor fifteen years been a wonderfulworker.

HighVictorian pointed bodices and longskirts to the ankles will be worn by thechildren, with little puff sleeves. Thisblue velvet has been chosen for theeight adult bridesmaids as well," buttheir dresses are to be as different instylo as possible, and will follow themodern trend. The country note willbe- stressed at the wedding, and flowersare to play an important part. PrincessAlice is choosing the bouquets herselfand presenting them to the bridesmaids.She is thinking of giving the little folkposies to match their old-world gowns.Lady May is making good progress withthe selection of her trousseau, and thenext fortnight" or so should see this com-plete. Following the pretty custom thathas grown up of recent year3, it is herintention to invite several of her girlfriends to a 'private view' of this.A feature of the trousseau, so far asit is now ready, is the selection of smallvelvet jackets, almost of Eton Bhape,to match each of the negligees that thebride has ordered.

Lace and velvet bothfiguro very prominently throughout thistrousseau."

NOTES.

Mr I*. \V. Chambers was unablethrough sickness to attend last week 9

meeting of the United Pigeon Fanciers'Club, and in consequence entries forthe Produce Stakes Show were extendeduntil November 11th.

The annual conference of the SouthIsland Poultry, Pigeon and Canary Asso-ciation has been fixed for December2nd, at Gore. The sittings have beenarranged so as to allow delegates tovisit the Jubilee Show of the Gore A.and P. Association.

Mr Charles Lafferty, an old-timemember of the Sydenham FootballClub and Poultry Society, is standingas an Independent candidate for theHamilton seat. He usod to keep BrownRed Game, Jacobins, Owls, etc. He hasbeen in business in Hamilton for manyyears.

Late maturing and unthrifty pulletscan often be improved and brought intoform by giving them a mixture com-posed of two pounds of germinationoats, two pounds of buttermilk, andone-fourth of a pint of cod-liver oil foreach 100 pullets. This mixture may begiven to all classes of feathered stock,adding or reducing the amount accord-ing to the size.

November.Though some poultry keepers continue

breeding, it ia on the late side fortho hatching of autumn and winterlayers of the light breeds, and too latefor layers of the heavy breeds, but asI. said before, bantam, pigeon, andcage bird breeding may be kept on untilthe birds are on the eve of moulting.It is from late-bred poultry one mayexpect smallness in size, though this isnot certain, and it is from seed andgrain fed birds one may expect tight-ness of feather. Even in wet weather,if insects are kept down, the weaningof chickens is easy, and the highertemperature makes the matter a fairlysimple one. Young stock • should besized, and the different sizes kept apartwhere possible. Between now and theNew Year 3s an excellent time to getrid of surplus stock, young or old.Keeping cockerels until they are fouror five months old is an old practice,but getting rid of them younger means

jbetter flesh, more room and less feed.Only early hatched cockerels should bekept on for the next breeding season.There is always work where feathers arekept, but the month is not so busy as.to keep.one from Addington or Riccar-ton or a change elsewhere.

Pigeons on Public Buildings.The Jubilee of the Christchurch Cathe-

dral being held this week reminds methat it is one of the great bttildingsof the world that remain* exceedinglyfree from pigeons. Perhaps the mostcelebrated building is St. Mark's,Venice, where at times the famousCathedral, which is dominated by theCampanile and flanked by . the Palaceof the Doges, ia darkened by theclouds of pigeons as they gather tofeed in the piazza of St. Mark's. St.-Paul's Cathedral, London; MadisonSquare, New York; Lafayette, Washing-ton, and the Town Hall, Sydney, arealso famous centres of pigeon, popula-tion. The number of birds in theseplaces is so great as to vex the authori-ties of the cities named. In the East,pigeons are held more saered, andnumbers of birds and their nests are tobe found on the many morgues, and thdstranger would cause a riot if seenkilling one. At Kapter Mazzar, inChinese Turkestan, good Moslems oftendismount and approach the pigeonreverently.

Separating the Scsea.Where one has had littlepractice one's

eye is out, so to speak, and in conse-quence the picking and separating ofthe seies is not so easy as to the manwho os experienced in chicken rearing.The sexes should be separated as Boonas possible, and the chicks groupedaccording to size. Leghorns and otherlight breeds mature rapidly, especiallyLeghorns, and the combs spring quicklyand are more flesh-coloured as a rulethan those of the pullets, which, on close

! Inspection, are more yellow in comb.The difference is so slight as to behardly noticeable. Heavy breeds aremuch more difficult to Bex. An earlyguide to sex is the feathering, sincepullets develop tail feathers, whilst themales remain more or less bob-tailed.Where sex-linking has been practisedthe pullets will take after the Goldenfather and be more or less ruddy, while,the cockerels will be more or less silveryafter the colour of the mothers. Wherethe father is a black the pullets willfollovr.

Avoid Stampede.Ducks have some characteristics that

are not found in other kinds of poultry.One is their tendency to stampede undercertain conditions. When necessary towork apiong them at night, it is im-portant to avoid a moving light ormoving shadows in so far as possible. Iffrightened into a stampede during thelaying season, they may stop laying for atime, to say notthing of the chance ofinjury and death due to trampling.

It is essential for best results that thefloor of the duck house be kept wellbedded -with straw or other suitablelitter. Some duck owners change thelitter only at infrequent intervals,simply adding more whenever the oldlitter becomes dirty. ,Tho best practiceis to change the entire bedding often,especially when it shows any tendencyto become damp and matted together.

Dry litter is important, in order thatthe ducks may have dry feet whensettling down for the night, especiallyin cold weather. As they make theirnestß on the floor of the house, byburrowing in the straw, a liberal cover-ing of dry litter is of great help in keep-ing the eggs clean.

All exhibition fowls should haveplumage of a rich colour and a glossyfinish, and this richness of colour shouldbe encouraged as long as it does notlead to unnatural conditions. Rich,glossy, and profuse feathers are foundonly in fowls that have great vitalityand the best of health. The colour mustbe good enough to stand up well againstall exposure to sun, rain, and otherclimatio conditions. It must be attrac-tive enongh to-win and retain pufeliofavorut,

Valuable results have come from ex-periments made by the United StatesDepartment of Agriculture to delay themoulting time of laying hens by feed-ing them sulphur compounds. Sulphuris an important constitution of henfeathers. It was believed that givingproper quantities of a suitable sulphurcompound might either delay the moultor cause it to have less effect on eggproduction at the season when eggs arehighest priced. It was discovered thata mixture of certain inorganic sulphurcompounds increases the annual eggproduction of both pullets and layinghens.

The .Pennsylvania State ExperimentStation has been, doing a lot of work onnutritional leg weakness in poultry.They have found that the time of yearin which chicks are hatched has amarked4 influence on the composition ofthe skeleton. When chicks were givensufficient irradiation in sunlight trans-mitted through glass substitute windows,and also, when they were exposed tothe rays of a quartz mercuty vapourlamp and blue flame carbon arc lamp,the skeletal development was perfectlysatisfactory. They found that theuse of Newfoundland and Norwegiancod liver oil during the first eight weeksof life, also produced normal bonedevelopment.

Pip is not a disease,-but is a condi-tion brought about by mouth breathing,due to closure of the nostrils by coldor catarrh. The membranes of themouth become hard and dry, especiallyat the tip of the tongue. This driedend of the tongue should not be pickedoff, as often this causes death of thebird. In such cases, the treatment con-sists in the first place of • measuresdirected at the primary cause; that is.the condition which is producing thedryness of the mouth. The hardeningarid drying of the membranes of themouth may be relieved by the applica-tion, several times a day, of a mixtureof equal parts of glyeerine and wates,

CALL TO YOUTH.

MR C. E. JONES ATWELSHPOOL.

TALK TO SCHOOL CHILDREN.

(raou oca own cosmspokdekt.)

LONDON, October 2.One of the engagements which was

fulfilled by Mr C. E. Jones (Christ-church) a few days before leaving bythe Buahine was a visit to Welshpool tospeak to the school children. He hadbeen invited by the headmistress of thegirls' school, Miss Ethel Davies, 8.A.,but when he arrived he found the boysalso had been assembled under theirheadmaster to hear his .address.

Mr Jones's remarks are described bythe "Montgomeryshire Express" as mostinteresting and arresting. As usual, hespoke in conversational style, therebyproviding a rare treat for the children.When referring to Napier in pre-wardays he described it as the Nice of theSouthern Hemisphere. He said thatNew Zealand people were more Britishthan were the people of Britain. Theywere all Britishers in New Zealand andproud of the fact, and they spoke thepurest English without any trace of anaccent. He reminded them that NewZealand always bought British goods,whilst they on their part sent them NewZealand mutton, butter, and other com-modities.

During his travels Mr Jones said hehad noticed a poverty-stricken class ofintellectuals growing up in this coun-try, and, in fact, all over the world, aclass who could not do anything prac-tical for themselves. People Beeined tobe growing up too intellectual, theirbrains were being highly developed, butthey were not able to do the smallthings for themselves and could notafford to pay people to do the work forthem. In New Zealand the practicalside of education was as important asthe intellectual side.

Loyalty to the Crown.Mr Jones made an urgent call for

lovalty to the Empire. The wholesafety of the British Empire dependedupon the home lifs of the British people.There was no true home life to be foundin boarding houses, and they did notwant people from such places.

The whole future of the British Em-pire rested upon the boys and girls ofto-day, who had all very great respon-sibilities before them, and they shouldbuild up their characters accordingly.The boys and girls of New Zealand, be-fore they went into school of a morn-ing, sang to the flag, "God Save theKing." They loved the King andQueen, and in New Zealand they were Jvery proud that they had such a Kingand Queen, that King and Queen whowere giving them such a splendid leadin the present crisis. Ai» eloquentperoration concluded by a reference totie need of loyalty ,to the Crown andEmpire..

Miss Davies assured Mr Jones thatthe boys and girls in those schools werenot being developed only on the intel* Jlectual side, but also on the practicalside. i

Mr JohnWard, on behalf of the boys'school, spoke of the great value of suchan address to the students ofgeography, j

MARKETING OFWOOL.QUALITY DisCUSSED.

LECTUKE BY MR D. SIDEY.

Ovor DU woolgroivera assembled ntthe ILwarden Hall 011 Saturday nightio hear an address by Mr D. Sidey, ofLincoln College, who spoke on themarketing of wool as studied by him inthe manufacturing centres of GreatBritain. The meeting was held underthe auspices of the Hawardcn-AVaikaribranch of the Tanners' Union.

The chief fault, the speaker said,manufacturers complained of in Ne\yZealand wools was the presence ofstrong liairv fibres mixed in withthe good wool. The llomney hadbeen blamed by them forthe production of tliis bad

wool, but this was unfair criticism, asa very mixed type of crossbred suppliedwool of this kind. Manufacturers oftendid not recognise as Eomney wool much

'of the good wool that did come fromour Romneys. The crude idea they hadof the breeding of some New .Zealandwool was illustrated by ther mountedspecimens shown. The HawardenDistrict was not very interested <inEomneys, as the Corriedale was thesupreme type, and the manufacturerswere as a rule fairly well .pleased withwool of this breed. However,, thiswool was not free from fault, and eventhe best of them could be improved alittle, . . '■ : .

Care must be taken, in breeding, toendeavour to produce a type of wool•which had even-sized and shaped fibresas nearly as possible of .uniform length,and which were as soft in the '.'handle",as was consistent with a good payablefleece. Every endeavour, . should bemade, to see that the wool was free fromkemps, which could be detected in thebirth coat of the lamb.- if there wasany quantity of hairy fibres present, avery careful examination was necessarybefore the lamb was added ta the breed-ing .flock. Attention must ,be, givento the tip.of the wool to see that it wasflat and even. A "tippy" wool wasobjectionable to the manufacturer' forvarious reasons, but chiefly because theopen tip dyed a different shade to theremainder, of the wool. ■

Some manufacturers complained th.itthere wfas ,a tendency with our fine, woolsto .produce a wool too. Jong for itsspinning count, partly because the NewZealand system of counts varied fromthe Bradford system, and partly be-cause of the breeder's desire to breedas heavy a fleece as he could. Whilethe defect might be,r remedied by themanufacturer altering his machinery,still the grower must check a tendenpyto produce a wool which w£f.s too finefor the standards of ths bseed.

Care must be taken in branding- tokeep the brand as small as possible,

and; to prevent .drops of branding fluidfalling all the fleece. Thjsv wasessential,,as tjie ]brand,.wpuld noli.scourout>nd sostein manufactured, ,<;lpth h jfbranding fluid'required c>thijming-volatile sub?tanfie such.,as petro}be jused, as boiled oil or

since* it was useless producing good woolif it was displayed so that it does notcatch the eye of the buyer. . The firstessentials were , clean sheep and. a. cleanshed. Once dirt got into wool .it washard to remove, and it spoiled the ap-

pearance. When skirting,only thatwool should be removed from the edgesof the fleece which did not match thebulk of it. Caro anust bo taken not topull off too much, fleece wool, and ifthe grower had sufficient, pieces to makeit worth while, he should keep the lightfleecy neck pieces separate from . therest of the fleece. In pressing it was ad-visable to turn packs inside out to pre-vent loose ends of jute coming in con- ;tact with the, wool. If wool was at alldamp, pressing should be delayed aslong as possible to give it every chanceto dry. Bales should be kept clean andfree from dust, which would give to thebuyers evidence of careful handlingand would prevent dirt from gettinginto the wool when the bales wereopened in the store.

Wool research was very necessary in.order that a better class of wool couldbe produced which could compete withartificial silk, and which would allow ofthe making of new and improvedfabrics. This would all reflect on thebetter price given to the producer. Oneof the most promising pieces of re-search work should be the developmentof a wool testing scheme which wouldallow the. stud-breeder to select hissheep on the qf their production.If by so doing the amount of woolclipped were raised by even slb persheep it would make a big,difference tothe wool clip of New Zealand.

WHEAT MARKET.THE IMPROVING TONE.

The sudden advance in wheat valuesabroad should have an indirect influ-ence on the New Zealand market. Acrop failure in many parts of Canada,

largely decreased areas in Australia andthe Argentine, and the partial disap-pearance of Russia from the market are

combined factors that were not antici-pated, and already it is expected that

Great Britain will again secure themost of the Australian crop.

A week ago values in Melbourne wereup to 3s a bushel, which represents a

distinct advance. The price of Frenchgrown wheat is 7s Id a bushel, and

German 6s Id, so that the politiciansthere are not breaking their heartsover the dear loaf problem, as someof our North Island friends aro doingover 5s wheat in New Zealand. Shouldthe next New Zealand crop be an ex-cess . one, and should it be necessaryto export wheat under the equalisationscheme that the wheat-growers are like-ly to bring .into,: existence, the . ad-vance,in prices will represent a very dis-tinct gain,to : growers. Instead, perhaps,of the c.i.f. price being Is Od a bushelre might be nearer 3s, so the lose incomparison, with and on the domesticprice would be small.

Restriction of Wheat Acreage.

One of the proposals made in ,somt

countries last winter to restore nprmaJprices in wheat was the curtailment ofacreage. A movement with that enain view was seriously undertaken ill

the United States with _ some slighteffect. In Canada the situation wapdifferent, since tlie bulk of the \ cropwas produced in the Prairie Provinces,where it was the main source of rqrvenue, for almost every farmer s*n d ,a

wholesale switching was imprrtiiblo.Moreover, limitation of acreage by theindividual or by the whole Dominionwould have had little effect with Ar-gentina, Russia, and a dozen other coun-tries straining to increase their output.

The futility of this method of, sup-porting the market is seen in the pre-sent returns of this year, says a Cana?dian authority. A total drop of pbous200,000,000 bushels in the productionof the leading countries is helping torestore the balance of supply and de-mand. For Canada alone the decreasefrom 1930 is about 150,000,000, which, isequivalent to an average yield on;eightmillion acres. Though the wheat pr<Vduced this year does not represent vqrymuch money compared with previousyears, yet it is better that it shoufyjhave been grown than .that a third< ofthe land should have remained: idle.It is a reserve which will ensure breadfor all and may possibly command, abetter price within the next twelve-month.

Many heifers that have been well fedfail to make proper sifce at, maturitybecause they have been bred at tooearly an age, says an expert. Not- onlyis size lost by this practice, but abilityto produce milk as well. . The heavierthe breed the more is the time requiredfor development before the animal isbred. Priesiana, for instance, may bebred at the age of 18 to 21 mouths, de-pending on their development, Ayr-shires at 18 to 20 months, and Jerseystat15 to 17 months. This is a generalrule. The best breeders may prefer tohold their heifers a little longer. Irialtogether too many cases the . lighterbreeds come in at 20 months and theheavier breeds at £4 months-

ATTEMPTED FRAUD.

THREE MEN SENT TO GAOL.

(PEBSa ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.)

WELLINGTON, .November 3.In the,Supreme Court to-day Ralph

Antonoyitch was sentenced to twoyears, John Ryan to two years, andWilfred Henry Brown to twelvemonths' imprisonment, on each count,on two charges' of conspiracy relatingto attempts to defraud .two,bookmakersby moans of fak«d telegrams. ,

~

Mr Justice MftcGregor said that allthree accused were. oonyicted in thefirst place for conspiring together todefraud two bookmakers by means ofdelayed telegrams which deduced theirbetting to a certainty. The way in.which they did tjiis was very cunning,and could only be cai*r,ied out w;ith thecollusion of some member or membersof the telegraph staff. .

Brown, as a telegraph officer, hadundoubtedly ..been .assisting ~these meniji their attemtps to cheat bookmakers.That was a very serious thing.. Iteast discredit on the whole service, andpossibly caused suspicion to be thrownon perfectly innocent people.

When WholeHave Saved Four Thousand LivesIn the construction of the Madeira-Mamore Railway, cbriiiectingBolivia with Brazil, South America, ill 1914, four thousand mendied - - literally starved to death bn food!

THEY ate and ate, and starved to death.Their diet consisted solely of refinedimpoverished, demincralised foods, from

which the minerals and vitamins had beenremoved. Their principal food was white flour,which is totally devoid of the precious life elements.There was also an abundance of white crackers andtapioca, which are refined, denatured, acidifyingfoods. : The rest of their diet consisted of coffee,sugar, lard, bacon, and dried beef.

From the first day of that diet the fourthousand were doomed. Shortness of breath, pal-pitations of the heart, nerve tremors, were nature'swarning signals that their diet was deficient inthe elements necessary to health and life. Butno one, not even the doctors, understood thosesjgnals. Gradually they wasted away, until noth-ing remained but bones and skin. And then theydied.

Medicines and drugs had no effect. Thedoctors were powerless. Yet whole wheat, suchas Granose and Sweetweets, unrefined and with allits precious life elements intact, could have savedthem.How the diet of the doomed four thousandaffects us.

Ttie human body is made up oIF some sixteenminerals and four vitamins. Without them, mancannot live. The body derives them from foodalone. If they have been removed from much ofour food, we fall victim to ills, ranging fromheart trouble and neurasthenia to bad teeth andconstipation. If they have been totally removed,we die.

The Madeira-Mamore workmen died. We,too, would die if we ate nothing but the foods theyate. The milk, vegetables, fruit, which we eat,and they could not get, save us from that fate.But, still we are only half alive!

Into the whole wheat gram, nature pacsaeevery vital life element the body needs for healland strength. When man refined that grainremoved -them. That is why scientists have sine?stated that whole wheat, such as Granose andSweetweets, could have saved those four thousandlives.

Similarly, Granose and Sweetweets can relieveus from the curse of constipation Had teeth,nervous disorders, heart trouble and many.oA**ills caused by refined foods.

FOLK DANCING.———

FUN AT CRANMER SQUARE.FIRST VENTURE A SUCCESS.

Although a bare grass plot swept bywind and a drizzle of rain may notseem the most pleasant place for danc-ing, at Cranmer square last night it,was made so attractive by the colourof lights, the sound ot' music, and theexcitement of action that some hun-dreds of people joined in the first com-munity dance, while between two andthree thousand came to look on.

A platform had been erected iu themiddle of the Square, and the Woolstonand New Brighton Bands were seatedon a lesser eminence on the eastern side.The grass between was closely cut, anda large oval was roped off to be thespecial domain of the dancers. Thewhole was brilliantly lighted in colours.

At first everyone was sbv. De-monstrations of the easier folk-danceswere given on the platform, and thepublic was invited to join in on thegrass below. .No one came forwardbut the trained dancers and a fewgroups of school children whom theyin turn had trained. Gradually, how-ever, the people were enticed in, firstby an open invitation merely to claptheir hands and run about, then forthe more urgent reason that their feetwere getting cold. The first adven-turers, mostly small boys, were soon fol-lowed by their sisters and brothers, andultimately by their mothers and fathers.After about half an hour, when jazzdancing was started, some hundredswere within the arena, all enjoyingthemselves heartily. Having acceptedthe sugar, tliev then had to take the pillof more but into this, too,they now entered with such good heartthat thy whole evenjng was to becounted a great success.

The Mayor's Fund.The dancing was preceded by a shortaddress from the Deputy-Mayor ( Mr J.

K. Archer), who attended with MrsArcher, the Town Clerk (Mr .{. S,Neville), and Mrs Neville. Mr Archersaid that lie was glad to see so manvat the square in spite of the unfavour-able weather. He apologised for theabsence of the Mayor (Mr D. G. Sulli-van, M.l\), upi emphasised that thepurpose of th|> new enterprise was toassist the Mayor's Fund for the reliefof distress. The dancing was in chargeof Miss Gladys Ferguson (president) andmembers of the Christclmrch CountryDance Club. Mr E. Poison, of thestaff of the M.E.D., was Master of Cere-monies. The second folk dance, namedafter the Mayor, "The Sullivan Bun-away," was specially popular.

Collectors enlisted"from the City Coun-cil staff, the St. .John Ambulance Asso-ciation, and the Returned Soldiers' Asso-ciation Social Committee were postedat all the approaches to the square. Al-though the amount of the collection wasnot known last night, more than one ofi ° c ®llect ors had used the several hun-dred badges with which each was pro-vided. It seems likely, therefore, thatwhen the count is made the enterprisewill lie found, to be amply justified.

TIMARU AND SOUTHCANTERBURY NEWS

TIMARU.CENTRAL RELIEF SOCIETY.

The precarious financial position ofthe Timaru Central Belief Society wasemphasised by - the Finance Committeein a report to the Management Commit-tee on Monday evening. Mr B. L.Blodorn presided.

The report stated that the fundswould not last "beyond the end of thismonth, and the only alternative to thecessation of the Society's activities,which would be little short of adisaster, as the need for relief was stillurgent, was for the public to assistthe society immediately. j

The secretary reported that the newapplications had diminished slightly, !but the number of applicants and thevalue of goods supplied remained aboutthe same. The funds had been in-creased by several contributions, themost outstanding efforts being theKingsdown-Pareora drive; the LabourDay rally on Caroline Bay; the Boy |Scouts' effort previously referred to; acontribution made by the Governmentof 230 carcases of mutton (through MrClyde Garr, M.P.); and gifts of flourfrom J. B. Bruce, Ltd., and of biscuits!

from R, Wilson and Co. The Labour!"Day Carnival managed by the Unem-ployment Committee, resulted in the:sum cf over £7O being handed over Atribute was paid to the untiring ser-vices of a band of voluntary workers,many themselves unemployed, who hadmade result possible. I

A rumour that the meat supplied freeby the Government was not fit for con-sumption, was emphatically denied bymembers of the committee, whe hadinspected the meat and obtained theexpert opinion of • competent butchersthat the carcases *were in perfect con-dition.

The secretary was instructed to for- jward letters of appreciation to Mr Lowand Miss Craig, two voluntary workers, Iwhose services -were no longer avail-able. " !\

CHAIN OF LIGHT.

TOC H CEREMONY.

Members of Toe H. including thetwo Christchurch "gropes" and thoLeague of Women Helpers, gatheredlast night in the Toe H rooms, Chesterstreet, to witness the ceremony knownas the Chain of Light, which by pre-arrangement is carried out annuallyin all the countries of the world inwhich the movement is established.

Each year there is a different start-ing point for the flame, which within24 hours is reproduced with appropri-ate ceremony around tho earth Oathe present occasion the starting pointwas All Saints' Cathedral, Johannes-burg, the flame thus encircling theglobe being lighted in each countryat 9 p.m. (own time) and passing west-wards back to South Africa.

Preliminary to the lighting of thelamp last night, scenes from the"upper room" commemorative of theF.laer Brethren were read by the Rev.C. L. B. Brown, assisted by the Rev.O. W. Williams (Branch Padre),and Messrs H. T. Penrose, W. T.Kerr, and F. J. B. Murray.

Modern answers to the riddle of theuniverse were discussed by Sir OliverLodge in a recent broadcast address onthe progress of science during thelifetime of the British Association.Sir Oliver talked of intricate things inevery-day language. A group of amilli9n atoms, he explained, would notbe visible in the highest-power micro-scope. A grain of dust big enoughto be visible must contain a million-million-million atoms. The atoms ina teacupful of water were greater innumber than the number of teacupfulsin all the oceans of the world; andthe atoms in a drop of water no big-ger than a pin's head would exceed innumber the grass blades on the surfaceof the earth. From the considerationof these minutest atoms. Sit- Oliverproceeded 'to the problem of the wholeuniverse. "Pome think," said SirOliver, "that the material universe isrunning down, the matter in the uni-verse turning into radiation, and nevergoing back again. While others hopethat in time the discovery will bemade that the process is reversible,and that, by some, means not. yetknown, iradiation will turn back intothe constituents of matter. In thatrase the universe would be permanent,with neither beginning nor end; theprocess of creation always going on."

MURDER CHARGE.

TRIAL OF E. COATS.

A HOSTILE WITNESS.

(rRE3S ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM )

WELLINGTON, November 3.The trial of George Errol C'cats on

the charge of the murder of Phillis AvisSymons, aged seventeen, at Ilataitai,on or about June 26th, was continuedbefore Mr Justice Blair in the SupremeCourt to-day.

Arthur de Maine, a waiter, proceed-ed with, his evidence along the lines ofthat given in tho Lower Court. Tho ac-cused said something to witness abouttapping Phillis on the back of the neckat Haitaitai on the night before. Onthat night, Phillis had come into Coats'sroom where witness was and had com'-plained that her neck was sore. OnJune 25th, witness met Coats, who saidthat lie was going to Ilataitai to geta "cobber" to leave out a shovel so thathe could bury a dog. On June 2tithCoats told witness that Phillis hadgone home. Between that time andJuly 6tli, the day -when Coats was ar-rested, Phillis's name was never men-tioned between them, although he sawCoats pretty well every day.

Cross-examined, the witness said thatCoats was always dcing the best hecould for Phillis. The girl often spokeof suicide, but Coats tried to cheer herup. He was prepared to marry thegirl, and as far as witness knew therewas no sign of Coats getting tired ofher during the whole time they weretogether. Witness had advised the girlto go home, but she said she wouldsooner die than go home, as her motherwas very cruel to her.

Shortly after the Crown Prosecutorcommenced to re-examine he made, anapplication for the witness to be de-clared hostile.

The end of the argument on thepoint was heard in chambers.

Treated as Hostile.When the Court resumed the judge

announced that he had agreed to theapplication, and .the witness de MaineWas treated as hostile.

John David Glover, a machinist,said Coats and Phillis were living to-gether in Kent, terrace in April, 1931.Tbe girl was in a certain condition andCoats said if slio died lie could easilyput her over in Hataitai. When thegirl was not. present Coats sometimesmentioned the gully at Hatailai, say-ing hundreds of tons of earth wentover theiv every day, and if anyonewas buried there be or she wouldnever be found. One night when wit-ness was playing cards with Coats ssister, Evie, de Maine, and Coats, ILviesaid to Coats: "You will have to dosomething about Phil." Coats repliedthat he would have to see about it.Once Evi» said to witness: "If Phillis

died, would you help bury lier?" Wit-ness replied "No; what do you think Iain?"

Glover described various happeningsat Coats's room and the finding of theletter after Phillis had gone away. Hedid not think the letter of any import-ance, and it was a week later beforehe showed it to Melville, who gave itto the girl's father.

Robert Brockie, who was employedon relief works at Hataitai, said thatho saw Coats digging a hole in partof the tip away from where lie wasworking.

, ...

The Court adjourned until 10 nr.rn.to-morrow.

The End of an Epoch.

Events have moved so fast that thelatest English newspapers brought byyesterday's mail had gone to press be-fore the General Election was decidedupon and arrive a week after theelectors' overwhelming verdict; andwhat has happened has also invalidateda good deal of comment. It was urgedfor example that an election would bedangerously disturbing, and that thepound—which was then feeling its wayto a new footing, off the gold standard—would be shaken rapidly down. Thenation repudiated these fears by re-maining almost stolidly cool but verymuch in earnest; and foreign countries,by keeping their confidence and theircapital in London. But althoughnewspaper opinions expressed at theend of September and early in Octoberare some of them quite erratic andalthough some, as anticipations, havebeen quite outstripped, others haveonly been confirmed and made morevaluably significant. This applies par-ticularly to the main article in theEconomist for- September 26th, whoseheading we have borrowed above. Itpoints out the risks of the removal ofthe pound from the currencies stabilisedby gold. One of the props of inter-national exchange stability is knockedaway; "banking liquidity throughout" the world has been seriously im-u paired"; international trade must bechecked by uncertainty about the futurevalue of currencies; and the first stepmay—though it need not—start a racein devaluation, or, to use the wordbetter understood, in inflation, and soback to the chaos of the early post-waryears. These are grave risks, which,in spite of a month's news of traderevival and a steady pound, it is still100 soon to smile at; but they are statedonly as a necessary introduction to theEconomist's chief argument:

In these circumstances it is imperativethat the authorities responsible formonetary policy, both in this and othercountries, should realise, and shouldmake it plain to less well-informedpublic opinion, that what has happenedthis -week is not a temporary deviationfrom a "normality" to which we mayexpect with less or more effort to re-turn. Even if it were possible to goback to the status quo, it would notnecessarily be desirable. In any case,it is an impossible policy. In the lastfew years the post-war gold standardhas functioned under conditions whichhave distorted it so badly that in theend it has produced widespread misfor-tune. There is much else wrong withthe world beside the mishandling of itsmonetary medium. But to aimat restoring it without qualificationwould only lead us to the sameimpasse, and the attempt would be bit-terly resented by those who have suf-fered from its recent vagaries. On theother hand, it is of paramount import-ance that tho present depression ofworld trade should not be accentuatedby a recrudescence of anarchy in thoworld's foreign exchanges.

In substance this is not a new argu-ment. Economists and financial ex-perts, most recently and forcibly per-haps Sir Basil Blackett, had beenstating it for weeks and months beforethe crisis and the suspension of thegold standard. The League of Nationsreport been produced, and dis-cussed, and pushed aside. But whatthe Economist says is new in its relartion to an event, in its interpretationof an event, the consequences and im-plications of which have been on the■whole far too narrowly and super-ficially regarded. Great Britain'saction brings the world hardup againstnecessity. It is the most convincingconcrete proof possible that the inter-national monetary system will notwork under the existing rules, yet itdoes not supplant or improve them;it merely introduces new uncertaintiesand dangers, whichin the end no coun-try could escape. The alternativestherefore are either to wait for inse-curity to break, or to work out asrapidly as possible a new monetaryagreement, ".a new set of rules," as theWeek-end Review says, with "an un-dertaking that they will be kept."But the monetary problem is not dis-crete. Though fundamental, it cannotreally be attacked unless the otherdifficulties of the " debtor crisis" areattacked also, and cannot really besolved except through a solution whichdisposes of them; while debts andreparations are linked with the ccono-

[ mic problem of tariffs and the politicalproblem of "security." All this ofcourse sounds like a job too formidableto begin and too big to finish. It ispossible to think this, hardly possibleto do so without being resigned to in-evitable calamity; but actually the be-ginning has already been, made andhardly a week has failed to extend it.That the effective pressure upon Franceand the United States has been thethreat of a collapse which they couldnot avert from themselves is obviousenough; but while it is "a humiliating"reflexion" to the Week-end Reviewthat "only catastrophe can command"common sense," the fact remains that"the very magnitude of the gather-" ing storm offers the prospect of large-"scale changes, and that when the"obstacles and the debris have been"swept away the world may find itself"more favourably placed for sane and"intelligent co-operation than seemed"possible a few weeks ago." Whenthe choice may quite soberly be said tolie between the end of an epoch and theend of everything, nobody can affordto be a pessimist about the chances ofstatesmen behaving like commonsensemen of business.

The Situation in Riccarton.It is just as well to face the fact thatwhat happens in Riccarton within thenext few days will have a markedeffect in every electorate in the Do-minion in which the Riccarton situartion is reproduced. If the Coalitionhad not been formed there would havebeen a three-cornered contest in whichthe Labour candidate would not havebeen very prominent. If Mr McLach-lan ignores the Coalition and goes tothe poll it does not follow that he willgreatly help Labour in Riccarton, or

help it anywhere; but it will not behis fault if he does not help it every-where, and disturb the whole arrange-ment on which the Coalition is based.Tor it is not necessary to besqueamish about the meaning andpurpose of the Coalition. The Leaders

themselves have admitted with theutmost frankness that it is an emerg-ency combination for the purpose ofmeeting immediate dangers which therewas no time to attack in the orthodoxway. It is a situation without prece-dent and without permanence—thoughsomething permanent may come out ofit and it involves sacrifices that anymember of either Party is free torefuse if. he finds them too heavy. Buthe may not refuse them and still serve

the Coalition, and those who vote forhim will not be able to call their votea response to the appeal of the Leadersfor authority to carry their pro-gramme through. The Independentsmay be right and the Coalition maybe wrong; but Mr McLachlan is notright; nor will his candidature, if hegoes on with it, make it casiei forRiccarton to contribute to national re-covery. The point however is thatwhat Mr McLachlan does with hisliberty is less important ihati whatthe electors do with theirs. If he per-sists in standing he will make it alittle more difficult for some of themto remain alive to the fact that bothLeaders have deliberately forgone the

assistance of many stout supporteis inan effort to achieve national unity.But he will not deceive the majority,and if the electors of lliccarton acceptand encourage his candidature theywill be saying in effect, but as plainlyas they can, that there should be fvveopen contests in Canterbury alone,and as many more in other parts ofthe Dominion as it pleases the elec-torates to stage.

Mr Lloyd George.

The cable message from London to-daythat Mr Lloyd George -will not seek re-election as Leader of the Liberal Partyin the House of Commons is not sur-prising. A sick man, he has been com-pelled to watch great national move-ments instead of sharing in them, andto stand out of a political campaign inwhich normally he would have revelled.It might have been some consolation,had he waved his supporters to theside that won a triumph greater'etenthan Liberals won in 1832 or 1906; buttwo Liberal groups took no notice ofhis advice, and the few who followedit fared badly. In the House ofCommons he would have to lead an-other Seven against Thebes, and withvery little hope of performing epicmiracles. It is by far the worst ex-perience in a long career, notable forsplendid successes as well as for dis-asters. When Mr Lloyd George suc-ceeded Asquith he inherited a powerand a tradition that might well havebeen expected to last out the rest of hispolitical lifetime; but the GladstonianParty is new only a remnant, smallenough to bo a family group and infact something like one. It is a sadresult, which even Mr Lloyd George sworst political enemies will regret. Itis suggested that Sir Herbert Samuelmay succeed to the Liberal leadership.H so, ho will undertake no very envi-able task, and one made almost hope-less by the present division of theParty, few or none o£ whose memberscan be sure what they should do tomaintain the principles and policy ofLiberalism.

Matters relating to the beautificationof Park terrace were mentioned atyesterday afternoon's meeting of theBeautifying Association, the chairman,Mr !F. L. Hutchinson, remarking thatthe details should be thoughtout care-fully. Mr R. B. Owen said that theyshould also plan for the beautifying ofthe park roads—Riccarton, Harper,and Deans avenues. The matter is tobe one into further at the Associa-tion s next meeting.

The Kaiapoi Borough Council wentinto committee last night to discuss theremarks of disapproval made by Mr E.D. Mosley, S.M., at a Tecent sitting ofthe Magistrate's Court at Ivaiapoi,with reference to the Council's systemof remunerating the borough traffic in-spector, which is partly on a commis-sion basis on the fines collected. Onresuming in open Council, the Mayor,the Eev. W. H. A. Vickery, reportedthat the Council had decided to revertto the previous system of paying theinspector a weekly wage.

In the course of the discussion atyesterday's meeting of the BeautifyingAssociation regarding the marine driveto Sumner from the end of Linwoodavenue, reference was made to thedumping by the Tramway Board ofspoil from its quarry in the middleof MoCormack's bay. Mr E. H.Andrews, who besides being a memberof the General Committee of the As-sociation, is chairman of the TramwayBoard, said that the dunlpins; wasbeinq done in accordance with a re-quest by the Marine Department,which had a scheme, apparently, forreclaiming the bay. Mr R. B. Owenquestioned whether the departmentnow had control, and said that fouryears ago, according to a gazettenotice, the area had been vested in t'->eSumner Borousrb Council and theHeathcote County Council. Mr An-drews said that he had enouiredrecentlv as to the Board's authority forwhat it was doing, and had been in-formed that it was authorised by theMarine Department.

That more facilities should be pro-vided on tho banks of the Avon foroutdoor diners was advocated by MrIt. li. Owen at yesterday's meeting ofthe Beautifying Association. A tent,or tents, v.here lunchors could get teawa.-s one suggestion, and another wasthat outdoor meals on the river banksshould be partaken of to the music ofa ham. two violins, and a. 'cello. Re-garding tho suggested provision for tea,Mr E. H. Andrews remarked that thoCity Council was not likely to author-ise anything that would come in corn-petition with tho business of rate-payers. Mr Owen intends bringing thematter up again at the next meetingof the Association.

The death occurred at Opotiki re-cently of Makao Karatirna, who wasreported to be about 100 years old,and to bo the last survivor of tho partyof Maoris who murdered tho Rev.

During the Maori wars Makaofought at: various times on both sides.He"vas born near Auckland, his fatherbeing a pakeha and his mother one ofthe Ngatira. a sitb-tribo of tho Whaka-tolicaOpotilf?. His eldest son, Waha-kaanea, aged 80, was recently drownedin tlTe wTvnganui river. Makao hadsis wives.

What is believed to be a mako sharkwas caught off Clark Island. nearAuckland, by a fisherman, Mr FredBishop, early on Thursday morning. Itweighed between 5001b and GOOlb, andwas unexpectedly netted in about 'Jitof water. The shark was towed to theshore and hauled by tackle on to skids.Tho curator of the Auckland Museum,Mr L. T. Griffin, when the catch wasreferred to him, said big game fish fre-quented waters much nearer Aucklandthan was generally supposed. Ihefinding of tho mako disproved thetheory' that that species of shark wasfound gnly in deep water. He was ottho opinion that swordfish, both broad-bill and marlins, could be caught be-tween Tiritiri and Little Barrier Is-land.

The uplifted land which before theearthquake constituted tho bed of theinner harbour at Napier is beginningto take on pronounced signs of grow-iiv vegetation, while another notablefact is that the comparatively smallamount of water that remains there is

gradually diminishing, and what therel.s of it is fresh instead of salt, as wasthe case before the upheaval. Residentsof Westshoro hold the opinion that theemail tremors which have been experi-enced from time to time Bince the mamshocks of February 3rd are continuingto raise the land still further, and thisis borne out by tho fact that there isnow even less water to bo seen in theinner harbour than thero was, say,in March last, seven months ago.

A criticism of what bo termed "the.average house perpetrated in NewZealand" was made by Mr Gerald E.Jones when speaking to the AucklandSociety of Arts. Thero was nothinglaore contemptible than the averegohouse being perpetrated, he said. Allthe houses in the Dominion wore ex-actly alike. Architects were not en-tirely to blame, for they wero respon-sible for only some 5 per cent, of thevork done throughout th« country,and they had to .conform to the tastoof their clients. Any architect whotried to raise the standard had to facodifficulties, for good forms of art werenever popular. A "doll's house" waswhat the speaker termed coveringbrickwork with a sickly red cementand then tuck-pointing the plaster inwhite lines to imitate bricks. The se-curing of practical homeliness was theideal of internal decoration. Furnitureshould be simple, comfortable, andserviceable, in keeping with homeli-ness.

A campaign on behalf of New Zealandmanufacturers is shortly to be under-taken by Miss Esther James, of Auck-land. She proposes to leave Pandora,Spirits Bay, on November 16th, tn awalking tour to the Bluff wearing onlyDominion-mado clothing and eatingfoods produced in Now Zealand. Eventea will be excluded from Miss James'list of means of sustenance during hertour, as it is not a New Zealand pro-duct. Miss James will carry with hera log book made from New Zealandleather and wood pulp and signed byLady Bledisloe, who is a keen sup-porter of Dominion manufactures. Thebook is tc be signed by the Mayors ofthe cities and towns visited and willalso contain a record of the times occu-pied on the various stages of the jour-ney. Miss James, however, does notintend to attempt a walking record andexpects that the journey will occupyfour or five months. During the tourfcLc will make public appearances andwill speak on tlie quality of New Zea-land-manufactured goods. Besides be-ing under the patronage of LadyBledisloe, Miss James will have theassistance of the Government PublicityDepartment and manufacturers through-out the Dominion.

FIRE AT BOTTLELAKE.

YOUNG TREES

DAMAGED.

CITY RESERVE THREATENED

A SUSPICIOUS OUTBREAK.

A scrub fir« which started in thonorth-east corner of the City Council'sreserve of ISOO acres at Bottle Lakeat about 2 p.m. yesterday spread withalarming rapidity into the pin us in-signus plantation oil the reserve, andhad burnt out about; fifty acres of youngpines before it could be checked. It issuspected, from tho nature of the out-break, that the fire was maliciouslystarted in several parts of the affectedarea at tho same time.

Unemployed men working almost atthe opposite end of the plantation werethe first to discover the fire, when theysaw smoke rising from the north end inthe area of swampy growth—scrub,flax, and rushes—in which there areno pines planted.

These men were immediately hurriedto the scene, but the lire had obtaineda greater hold than the smoke indi-cated, with a gusty wind fanning thoflames in the dry undergrowth towardstho afforested area. The Superinten-dent of City Iteservos (Mr M, J. Bar-nett) was advised of the outbreak, andilre-fighters were sent from tho City totho plantation, where an intensive fightwas carried on by forty employees ofthe Council, assisted by local residents,with the result that the fire was undercontrol by about li p.m.

Over 150 acres of scrub and planta-tion were burned out before tho fire waschecked, approximately fifty acres ofyoung pines in their sixth year ofgrowth boing destroyed. These had nocommercial value at present, other thanas firewood, but when fully grown thepines are estimated to be worth asmuch as £2OO an acre.

A. plantation of okler trees, aboutthroe acres in extent, which wereplanted many years ago as an experi-ment, was also destroyed.

Suspicious Origin.A suspicion that tho origin of the fire

was not accidental was expressed by MrBarnett, who led tho fire-fighters intheir difficult task.

"Within the last two or three weeksthere have been outbreaks in the area,the origin of which cannot be ex-plained," Mr Barnett stated last even-ing, "and although they have not doneany damage, tho fact that thoy allstarted in "the same locality aroused sus-picion. I certainly suspect that yes-terday's fire was maliciously started."'

The firo originated in tho most isol-ated corner of the reserve, ho pointedout, and spread in a suspiciously shorttime into the plantation. By tho timothe fire-fighters had arrived it hadcrossed several firo breaks, sonic ofthem a chain in width, but withoutdamaging tho grass and growth in thobreaks atall. Ono would naturally thinkthat had the lire spread in tho usualway fanned by tho wind across thebreaks, the grass would have showedsigns of its path, Mr Barnett said. Buttho indications woro that tho fiameshad never crossed tho breaks and thatthe fire had started in several placesat the same time.

People camping oji the reserve badbeen recently warned off by the for-ester.

Valuable Areas Saved.Through tho efforts of the men who

wererushed to combat tho fire the flameswere kept from travelling into the morevaluable areas of older and betterclass timber in tho reserve, which ex-tends from Rothesay road in the southfor about two miles towards the beach.Although the area is so large this istho first year that there have been sucha number of small outbreaks.

Yesterday's firo damaged no build-ings. and was well away from theBottlo Lako Hospital, near whichstarted the fire which did such seriousdamage to tho Hospital reserves earlyin January of this year. During thatoutbreak the City Reserve narrowlyescaped tho flames.

Six men were left on the reservelast evening as a guard in case offurther fires starting.

TROPICAL DISEASES.

PREVENTION OF MALARIA.

[THE PRESS SpeeisJ Scrricr]

AUCKLAND, November 3-The discovery of a drug for the pre-

vention of malaria is favourably com-mented upon by Dr. Bramwell Cook, ayoung Now Zealander, who returnedby the Maunganuihaving completed hismedical and surgical studies in GreatBritain. He will proceed later toIndia as a Salvation Army medicalmissionary.

Great hopes were entertained for thesuccess of tho new discovery, said Dr.Cook, and it was predicted that itsextensive uso would revolutionise thecolonisation of tropical countries. Thedrug, which was called plasmoquin,should minimiso the importance of themalaria mosquito, for tests showed thata person treated with the drug wasimmuno from infection by the mos-quito.

Dr. Cook received his early educa-tion at the Waitaki Boys' High School,and when his father. CommandantCook, took charge of tho OnehungaCorps of the Salvation Army, he at-tended the Auckland University Col-lege. He graduated in medicine atOtago University, and was for sometime stationed at the Wellington Hos-pital. Proceeding to Great Britain, Dr.Cook obtained liis M.R.C.P: at Lon-don, and his F.R.C.S. at Edinburgh,and has lately made a special studyof tropical diseases, obtaining the de-gree D.T.M. (England 1). Ho enteredthe Salvation Army Training Collegeat Denmark Hill, London, and wascommissioned as a. Salvation Army Cap-tain.

MATSON LINE.

COMPETITION IN PACIFICTRADE.

STATEMENT BY MR FORBES.

(PR,.SS» AS3OCIATIOK TBI/EG-RAJt.)

WELLINGTON, November S."Various representations which have

been placed before tho Government inregard to the proposed inclusion ofAuckland as an intermediate port of callby vessels of tho Mat son Line in itssteamer service between San Franciscoand Sydney have received the carefulconsideration of the Government," tholit. Hon. G. W. Forbes said in theHouse of Representatives to-day.

"The objections which have beenmade in connexion with the proposedservice fall essentially under two head-ings:

"(.1) That the Matson Company is

heavily subsidised by the United States

Government and its competition with

other shipping interests is, therefore,

unfair and likely to result _ m the

elimination of British competitors."(2) That as American vessels on y

are under United States law allowed totrade directly between Honolulu and

other American ports,' to the exclusionof competitors, similar discriminatoryaction is justified against these Ameri-

can ships in regard to their trading be-

tween tho British ports of Suva, Auck-

iand, and Sydney. __

"Dealing with the first heading, NewZealand cannot object to an Americanshipping company, subsidised or not,

carrying to and from the DominionAmerican citizens who will no doubtcomprise the majority of tho passen-gers, especially as these travellers willin a largo measure be induced to visitNew Zealand as a result of the pub-licity efforts of the company concerned.There seems to be no reason to doubtthat benefit will accrue to the Dominionfrom the increased tourist traffic whichwill be promoted by the new service,with its accompanying advertising ofour scenic resorts. It would appearthat New Zealand is regarded as themain attraction for tourists in the SouthPacific.

British Policy."The second point of complaint is in

regard to the carriage of passengersbetween British ports in the SouthPacific. It may be mentioned that fora number of years the Matson Companyhas been conducting a passenger ser-vice from San Francisco to Pago Pago,Suva, and Sydney, and on the southernportion of the run has therefore alreadybeen in competition with British ship-ping between British ports. The new-development represents tho addition ofa further British port in the itinerary.Tho three Britisli ports concerned arenot within the territory controlled byany one Government, and common legis-lative action by the three Governmentswould be necessary to prevent the car-riage of passengers by American ves-sels between those ports. The attitudeof the British Government has alwaysbeen against any policy of discrimina-tion against non-British shipping, andparticularly is this so having regard totho fact that British vessels carry alarge share of the traffic between manyforeign ports throughout the world.

International Conveation."The League of Nations has taken

steps to prevent the growth of discrim-inatory shipping laws, and New Zea-land, in common with 24 other countries,including Great Britain, has subscribedto the international convention endors-ing this principle. No representationshave been received from the AustralianGovernment, but the Minister for Trans-port, replying recently to the Seamen'sUnion, said that so far as overseastrade was concerned, the Commonwealthwas bound by the terms of the inter-national convention in regard to mari-time ports, and that it would bo futileto take any action against Matsonlinors, as that would inevitably lead toretaliation by the United States Gov-ernment against British vessels callingat United States ports.

Inequitable Conditions."I may say that the question is one

of considerable difficulty. It is recog-nised on the one hand that tho presentUnited States legislation which pre-vents British vessels, or, in fact, anynon-American vessels, from carryingtraffic between Honolulu and otherAmerican ports is open to objection,and, on tho other hand, that Americanvessels now entering the Suva-Auck-land-Sydney trade are heavily subsi-dised by the United States Government,thus rendering it more difficult for ex-isting British services to compete onterms of equality.

"The Government is not unmindful ofthe desirability of conserving the inter-ests of British shipping, and tho posi-tion will he carefully watched. In themeantime the attention of the UnitedKingdom and Australian Governmentswill bo called to the existing inequit-able conditions."

land has decreased by 513 during thepast ten years, according to a returnpresented in the House of Representa-tives to-day, by the Minister for Inter-nal Affairs, the Hon. A. Hamilton, atthe request of Mr A. E. Ansell (R.,Chalmers), In the same period Indiansin .the Dominion had increased by 225.

The return revealed that during thelast ten years 44G1 Chinese had enteredthe country, but in eight of thoseyears there had been, in the aggregate,an exeess of departures over arrivals,of 682, -while in only two years, 1924and I£>2G, had there been an excess ofarrivals, totalling 100.

The total influx of Indians over theperiod had been 1576, and only in 1922and 1930 had there boen an excess ofdepartures over arrivals. These num-bered 126. Over the remaining eightyears the excess of arriyals over de-partures totalled 351.

CITY FINANCE.

MANY LOANS FALLING DUE.

PROVISION OP SINKING FUND.

The Christchurch City Council doesnot anticipate any difficulty in raisingby the sale of debentures the full jamount of the £62,950 -which is to re-

place loans fallen due on October Istand November 3 st, 1931. The sinkingfund on these loans of £72,824 hasamounted to only £9874, and of thebalance, -which has had to be re-raised,£17,250 has been obtained during thepast month.

The loans -which fell due and thenew loans to be raised are as follows(in each case the difference between thetwo sums represents the sinking fundavailable): —

October Ist—Sydenham "Waterworks jLoan of £14,444 (£.12,550); SydenhamjPublic "Works Loan of £6BOO (£6800). i

November 1st—Administrative Block |Loan of £50,000 (£43,600). I

Theso loans -were raised only for tenjyears because of the high rate of in-jterest—6} per cent. They are now |being renewed at 5i per cent., the first |two for 20 years and the other for 25 jyears. When they were raised in 1,921,1only 1 per cent, sinking was pro-1vid'ed. To wipo out the loans at the jend of the ten-year period the sinking ifund should have been almost 8 percent.; so that it was obvious from theiitarfc that the original loans would haveto bo renewed.

Provision of Sinking Fund.Before 1903, when the boroughs of

St. Albans, Sydenham, and Lmwoodamalgamated with the City, the Councilused to raiso loans without any pro-vision for sinking fund. When theloans became due they were simply re-raised. There is one loan that has beenraised three times already; but thistimo tho sinking fund laid aside will besufficient to meet it.

Sinco the Local Government LoansBoard was appointed in 1926 it has re- ifused to authorise any local body loanuntil a sinking fund sufficient to meet it jat maturity has been provided for. jThough for every loan the Council now jhas outstanding there is a sinking fund,!this fund is not in every case sufficientto meet the loan. In February, 1932, anElectricity Distribution Loan of£60,000 falls due, and this can he metentirely from the sinking fund. InMarch of the same year, however, theloans duo will total almost £125,000, ofwhich only part will have been raisedby sinking fund. These last are water-works loans, mostly raised in Englandat 4i and 4$ per cent.

Authority Eefused.When a loan falls due which has to

be renewed the Council meets it at onceby an advance from the general ac-count. The Council may also have abank overdraft equal to the amount ofoutstanding revenue. Last year theCity Sinking Fund Commissionerssought authority to borrow in anticipa-tion of revenuo at any timo when theywished to take up suitable investmentswhich were offering. Often it happensthat the Commissioners do not have themoney in hand for such investments,although they know definitely that itwill be available within a few weeks.However, the private Bill containingthis authority was thrown out by Par-liament; and the Commissioners stißhave to suffer the loss of investmentsat one time while at another they havemoney lying idle.

A BIGGER BILL.

EXPENSES OF GENEVA

SECRETARIAT.

NEW ZEALAND PROTESTS.

[Fkom Ocrt Parliamentary: Repoktee.}

WELLINGTON, November 3.Complaint was made by the Prime

Minister, the lit. Hon. G. W. Forbes,in tho House of Representatives to-day.at the increasing amount of New Zea-land's shf.re of the Secretariat ex-penses at Geneva.

The reason for the increase wassought by Mr J. S. Fletcher (Ind., GreyLynn). He pointed out that there-hadbeen an increase of £i2<s4 this year.Parliament was asked to vote £12,150ns New Zealand's proportion of theSecretariat expenses for the year end-ing December next, whereas the amountfor the previous year was £10,916. MrFletcher recalled that cable messagesrecently appeared in tho New ZealandPress, in which it was reported thatSir Thomas Wilford had protestedagainst the increasing expenditure.

_

Mr Forbes explained that New Zea-land was liable for an annual amount,and the sum on the Estimates repre-sented its proportion of the expenses.The Government could not understandwhy the expenses had increased, andit was beyond its power to make a re-duction.

"We have already made a protest,"'said Mr Forbes, "but the Bill for ourshare of the expenses is sent in, and wehave to pay it. I quito agree withthe member for Grey Lynn that thisincrease is unsatisfactory. Already wehave made representations to Geneva.''

Mr "W. Nash (Lab., Hutt): Tho ex-penditure is one of the best investmentsNew Zealand can make.

Mr Forbes said apart from the ques-tion of whether New Zealand's contri-bution was a good investment or not,there was no justification for the in-creasing expenditure. The number ofpermanent salaried officers seemed to ibe increasing year by year. IMr Nash: They are doing splendid jwork. i

Mr Forbes: The thing seems to bo Igrowing like a snowball.=====^===:==:= i

RUGBY, November 2.Consideration of Lord Sankey's draft

report on the composition and powersof tho Chambers proposed for tho In-dian Federal Legislature began to-dayiu the Federal Structure Committeeof the Round-Table Conference. Theroport contemplates bi-cameral legisla-tures with an Upper House of 200members and a Lower House of 300members, the States making 40 percent, representation in the former and33 l-3rd per cent, in tho latter.

In tho main, it is proposed thatuiombers of the Upper House should benhosea to represent component units,and the representatives of the BritishIndian Provinces should be elected bythe Provincial Legislatures by thesingle transferable vote system. Seatsin tho I/ower Houso should forrespondas closely as possible with the popula-tion. ratio, subject to certain adjust-ments. Special representation of land-lord interest, commerce, and Labouris contemplated, while tho representa-tion of tho dopressed classes and cer-tain other special interests have notbeen dealt with, pending tho decisionof tho Minorities Sub-Committee.

The report says: Following tho com-mon practice in tho Empire, the Con-stitution should provide lor an oathof allegiance to bo taken by tho mem-bers of tho Legislature on the assump-tion of their seats.

Tho Prime Minister (Mr Ramsay.UacDonald) devoted considerable timetliis morning to the affairs of_ theIndian Conference, and hadliew with Lord Sankey, Sir SamuelIfoaro (Secretary of State for India),tho Aga, Khan, and Sir Tej BahadurSapru.

Lord Sankey paid a warm tribute tothe Civil servants, without whose as-sistance, he said, his duties as chair-man would have boon impossible. Hewanted the future generations of In-dians to know to whom they owed somuch of the new Constitution.

Tho report was accepted with a fewamendments, and tho Committee ad-journed till Wednesday, when the re-port on the Federal Court will beexamined.

A note of dissent was received fromMr Gandhi, adhering to tho view thatone Chamber would bo tho best. Howould, ho wrote, support Sir MirzaMuhammad Ismail's proposal for aFederal Council if euch a body was anadvisory body. The Congress was op-posed to spocial representation of cer-tain interests as recommended in thereport, and to nomination by theVicc-ro.v in special cases, but specialistsshould be given facilities to addresstho Chamber on any required occa-sion. Regarding certain paragraphsabout tho States, ho reserved his opin-ion, and adhered to the proposal of anindirect election or an election throughdelegates using tho villages as units.Those views wero noted.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE. WOOL.

DOMINION'S CARRY-OVER, jFIGURES DISPUTED.

' !

[THE PEESS Special Service.]

WELLINGTON, November 3.A reply to statements by Mr G. C.

t'revost, a wool-buyer who arrived at.Wellington by the Monowai, that therehad been a rapid improvement in thewoo! market, was made, by 31 r J. S.

Jessep, vire-prcs-ident of the NewZealand Shcrpowners' Federation, anda member of the Meat Producers'lioard. Exception was also taken by

| r jCSSpp to Mr Prevost's criticismof the Dominion's wool carry-overthrough large quantities being -with-held from sale.

Mr Josscp said the average valueper lb of wool sold in New Zealandduring the last seven years was:

d.] 924.^3

... I I1926-27 •••

••• J2.«51927-28 ... ••• 10.891925-29 ... ... 11.991929-W ••• S- ;591930-3L ••• 0-6G

From the average of last Reason,namely, S.OOd per lb, the wool markethad practically only recovered what itlost in the London July sales, said MrJessep. One did not like to be pessi-mistic, but it," was wrong for a wool-buyer to endeavour to create the im-pression in the public inind that woolwas fetching a good or even a barelypayable price.

Wool Held Back.Mr Prcvost is also reported to have

stated, that the fact that Now Zealandsheepfarmers had held over 150,000bales of wool would have a detrimentaleffect on the New Zealand market forcrossbred. There were 471,454 balesoffered for sale in New Zealand in the1930-31 season, and 420,302 bales sold.In the previous season there were483,820 bales offered and only 405,120bales sold, so that actually there wasmore wool sold in New Zealand lastseason than in the previous season. Tak-ing one'year with another, the amountshipped direct to London by grower?did not vary to any great extent. To getat the carry-over of wool from 1930-31season the Dominion was raked with aline tooth comb. Wool brokers, bankers,and the Government Statistician wereall asked to assist in discovering whatamount of wool the New Zealand wool-grower had been guilty of holding backwhen ho had -been offered by woolbuyers the attractive figure of one-half to one-third the cost of produc-tion. Wool-growers in New Zealandregarded statements such as those re-ported to have been made by MrPrevost as so much trash, particularlyhis remark that the carry-over was be-ing talked about in all centres of thewool-buying trade. The ridiculousnessof the statement became more apparent jwhen viewed in the light of the enor- |mous carry-over of wool in 1920. Atthat time there was in the hands of ithe B.A.W.R.A. alone 1,800,000 bales of ,Australian wool, 800,000 bales of NowZealand wool, and 300,000 bales ofSouth African wool, making a total of2,900,000 bales. Tn addition to thisthere was a considerable quantity ofwool held in England. It was a wellknown fact that to-day there was_ noaccumulation of wool worth mention-ing in any part of the world. Fur-ther, there were no heavy stocks ofwoollen goods. It was obvious, there-fore, that the paltry carry-over in NewZealand could have no real effect what-ever upon the position.

Bradford Reports.Beferring to Teports on the wool posi-

tion by wool-buyers or from wool-buying centres, Mr Jessep said one hadonly to note the tone of cablemessages from Bradford to realise thatnever by any stretch of the imaginationcould they be called optimistic. "Brad-ford is naturally a wool-buying centre,and its object at all times is to depressthe market in centres where wool isgrown," Mr Jessep added. A wool-buyer's job is to purchaso wool for thelowest possible, price at which he canget it, and any advice from such a

source is obviously designed to inducegrowers to sacrifice their produce atlow prices."

Southern potatoes are still available at

old is rapidly vanishing. The quality of

southern is etill good, but the popular tastei» for now season's. lhese have firmedslizhtly within the last, day or two but at

12a per cwt through stoio they aio prc-

ff.rrcd to southern at £3 15s per ton ineplanting of seed potatoes is practically tui-ifhed for the season. There is a good de-mand for onions, and the market is well sup-plied with Californian and Canadian at 18sto 19s per bu#. ,

There is a brisk demand for pollard, but

tho bran trade is very dull.There is no change in wheat, whici) stiu

sc-ils steadily at 6s 7d to Gs 8d per bushel.The maize market in tho Bay of Plenty

is a little firmer, but at Giaborne, whencetho city's requirements ore chiefly obtained,it is easier. 'Local* rates are'unchanged at5s 2d to 5s 3d per bushel.

NO PREFERENCE DIVIDEND.

A loss of £7157 in the freezing depart-ment i* disclosed in the thirtieth annual

I report of the directors of the GisbornoSheepfarmera' Frozen Heat and MercantileCompany, Limited, for the year ended Aug-

ust 31st. The revenue from freezing amount-led to £29,507, and the expensed to £36,663.The report states that the extra quantity ofstock killed during the season helped tomake good the drop of somo £40,000 in thevalue of by-products as compared with lastyear. There was » further drop in by-pro-ducts of some £3 0,000 to be faced during the

coming season, and the shareholders' action inendorsing the policy of the directors inselling the Kaili works to the Gisborno lie-frigerating Company, Limited, would mean theolfecting of economics which would offset thelatter amount and also give the same measureof control ns under the lease. TokomaruBay killings showed an increase of 28,93;>,equivalent in sheep for the season, and theslock killed in tho district an increase of93,469 equivalent in sheep.

A profit of £968 is shown in the mercan-tile department, reducing the net loss oftiio company to .86188. K-eferring to th«operations of the mercantile department, thereport states that the turnover of the mer-chandise departments had dropped cousider-.ably, while commissions on wool utid live-stock were the lowest for somo consider-able time.

TRADE AND THE GOVERNMENT, j

' (Fsosr Oca Special ConMSFOSDEKT.)

LOXDOy, October 3.- Wheu these lines are in print the

height of the financial crisis may havebeen passed. .But n't the time <»« writing-thero is no relict' from the uncertainty

:uid anxiety,, due to the lack of an-

nouncement of any full programme ofmeasures to meet the situation. A word

a 3 to food supply i" relation to tho

public may, tlu-rcfore, be in season. '!he

prompt, declaration of '.'no profiteer-ing'' was, of course, essential in the

public interest. The alacrity with

•which it was made was spontaneouson the part of the -wholesale and re-

tail sections of the trades concerned.The Government, however, still has inits pigeon-holes at Westminster thefabric of the "control" scheme of thelate War, and the Board of Trade in-

formed those concerned that, it' neces-sary, these would be produced and putinto operation at a few hours' notice.The newspapers at the outset tookopportunity of assuring the public that,"food prices will not rise." So tarthat has been borne out, but will itcontinue so indefinitely with a depre-cated currency? At the moment, owing:to autumn marketings off the pastures,home-killed meat has gone cheaper,while imported prices remain level. Thecouutry has still, apparently, the fullarea of discussion of import tariffs topass through, and food tariffs can hard-ly bo ruled out of thi?.

General Smuts and Refrigeration.The British Association of Refriger-

ation, which holds its Thirty-Second An-niversary Dinner in London, on October!>th, is making-General Smuts its chiefguest on the occasion. Few peopleknow, perhaps, the South African states-man's interest in refrigeration. It isnot often that a statesman is a scien-tist—certainly a scientist of such acalibre as to "be able to qualify for thePresidency of the British Associationfor the Advancement of Science. _ Stillless often is a statesman a technician,but General Smuts, the possessor of allthree of the above qualifications, owedit to his insight into engineering de-tails that be was able to initiate forSouth Afrca a great refrigerating en-terprise. It is several years now since(Jape Town became provided at its dockswith a remarkably equipped pre-coolingplant for the safe holding and attemper-ating of fruit on its way.from the or-chard to the ship. It needed GeneralSmuts to see the neecj for this greatinnovation, and he, as Prime Minister"of tho Union of South Africa, fouudan ' engineer-scientist, Mr Edgar Grif-fiths, who has been able to place SouthAfrica in front of the whole 'world—

America hot excepted—in tho matter ofthis handling refinement for fruit, whichresults in its crossing the world ir anappreciably better condition and mak-ing more money in the consuming mar-kets. These pre-cooJing plants are fit-ted with, highly developed scientific in-struments for controlling temperaturearid" humidity conditions to a nicety.The value of this equipment was provedto • such a great extent at Cape Town-that it was repeated at Durban in asimilar pre-cooling plant of later con-struction, and now Port Elizabeth isto be put on an equal footing, suchport equipment being found advisablefor handling fruit from the hinterlandin the several areas.

■Food Marking Orders.The success frith which Is civ Zealand

pork is being marketed in England, andthe good results attending its consump-tion, both ns pork and as bacon, as ap-parently causing some trepidation in the,minds of home pork raisers and theirallies. The pork section of the NationalFederation cf Meat Traders' Associa-tions, at its biennial conference this■week, declared in favour of the com-pulsory labelling of imported pigs and

J pork products, frith the source oforigin. It was stated that the baconsection cf the Food Manufacturers'

> Federation is of- the' same mind, and■will'press- for the granting of a mark-ing order by the Ministry of Agricul-ture. It has been argued by those whohave debated this question that amarking order might not prove of anybenefit to the Homo producer, as thepublic wants cheap, sound meat., andgets it in the New Zealand product.Australia, by the way, is doing wellwith its shipments to the British pork

' market this season, reaching in many-cases parity of price with the New

. Zealand article.Meat Marking.

An incident . occurred at the MeatTraders' Conferenco referred to in the.previous' paragraph which throws somelight on the dissatisfaction felt in themeat trado of Britain with the Govern-ment ..scheme of national grading and"marking. The retail meat traders have,-just now a strong caso in their conten-tion that the Ministry Agriculture'sschema is. costing the nation a largosum at a time when all Jround economy

'I is. essential; They further maintain that" the "farmer is not' benefited, as the

meat is not graded or marked until aweek or a fortnight after it has passedout of his hands,- and numerous tradersin all parts have affirmed that the pub-lic shows not the slightest interest indemanding graded and marked meat.

.Now, as a crowning example, at theconference just held, a shocking speci-men of miserable quality cow beef,bearing the "Select" (namely, highest)Government brand on it, was exhibited,to the. immense* delight of five hundredassembled butcher delegates. It mayalso :be-said that in other food indus-tries "marking" is not showing any evi-dence of improving the quality of homeproduction, the regularisation and ira-

- provement of which are necessary forthe attainment of enhanced success forthe Home farmer. Meat marking has,indeed! been a remarkable failure inparactically all the localities in whichit has been put into force', and it hasonly lasted up to the present by virtueof a determined propagandistcampaign ou" the part of theMinistry' of Agriculture, which

■ has meant relatively heavy costs for■ the tax payer. At the Meat Traders'Conference a leading retailer said thatalthough he had given the scheme aiihauce by -having meat slaughtered inhis abattoirs graded and marked, ho

..had not, out of all bis thouaands ofcustomers, had a single . enquiry forgraded meat in the past fortnight.Reference was made at the Conference

•to tlie-remarkable quality and gradingof New Zealand's meat supplies, which

■ was a great tribute to the Dominion inview of the independence of frozen sup-plies which the butchers here profess,although they may not practise it.

LONDON, October 2.

Mr Walter Itunciman, M.l\, presided at

the annual meeting of the 'While Star Linooj September 21th, and spoke of the "stren-uous efforts oi all concerned" that were beingu.ado to protect their world-famous line.Tlio meeting was attended by prefcTcncoshareholders, in accordance with their rights

following tho non-payment of their dividendin January last.

Mr Runciman said that present world <od-

ditioD3 bore v/ith particular severity on ship-ping, and their company was feeling thnstiai'n equally with others. "That being thocdsc

" he added, "it must be obvious to youthat' lbs company cannot much longer con-ticuQ to operate while trading lobsps arc solarge without something drastic being dune.What form this will take 1 nm unable tosay at present, but strenuous efforts arc beinglpade by all concerned to protect the good-will of this world-famous lino."

Company's Assets.I>ea)ing with the position of tlm Wliito

Star Line, Mr Runciman said that the asieUconsist of its holdings in tho Oceanic SteamNavigation Company, Shaw, Savill andAlbion Company, and the line of steamersI'rown as tho Australian CommonwealthLinn, which was acquired from the Com-monwealth Government in the year 19'iO.There is un undischarged liability on eachof these assets. The amount still due onthe purchase of the Oceanic shares is£-,350,000, which is not payable until I&3G.Interest due on tho outstanding balance hasbeen paid. A further instalment of i'! 00.000has been paid in connexion with the amountciuo for the Shaw, Savill and Albion shares,leaving a balance outstanding of £'300,000.

The voting trustees deemed it desirable to&Vproach tho Australian Commonwealth witha, request that they should grant a mora-torium in respect of tho instalment of£165,0110 which foil due laßt month Tlr.sis receiving consideration, and in the mean-timo tho balance in tbeir favour remains atthe figuro shown in tho balance-sheet.

Tfie amount unpaid on the ordinary sharecapital of thn company has been called up,continued Mr Runciman, and there is inarrf-ar in this respect at date the sum or£2,870,550. Your directors have carefully con-sidered tho possibility of collecting this sumfcv enforcing tho calls, but, having regardtJ the situation, which has been made abun-dantly clear to them, they arc forced to theconclusion that for the present nothing couldbe gained by -drastio action, and preferenceshareholders' interests are being best servedby allowing the position to develop.

Mr Runciman intimated that at his ownrequest ho was drawing no salary, commis-sion, nor fees from tho company or its sub-sidiary companies, and he desired to be re-lieved of his responsibilities at the earliestpossible moment.

Mr Ernest James said that he applied forshares because of the guarantee and thestanding of the Royal Mail Company. Howas absolutely misled by what he under-stood to be tho position of. that company.

"Have you considered the possibility," heaj>ked, "of bringing an action for misrepre-sentation against all , the directors of theEo'yal Mail company?"

Lord Kylaant's Fees.Mr George, another shareholder, also de-

clared that the Royal Mail prospectus was atissue of falsehoods. "I believe that LordKylsant held (something like JS7 chairman-ships," he said, "and I understand he re-ceived in salaries between £IOO,OOO and.£•200.000 a year. We have been left to canytho baby. I maintain that the directors aroliable."

Mr Runciman, replying to the discussion,said it was impossible accurately to statetho actual assets of the company at thepresent date. When the special committeeconsidered tho time opportune they wouldno doubt report to the shareholders, and*ny question as to the alleged misrepresen-tation of the prospectus would no doubtbe dealt with by tho committee.

The report was adopted with four dissen-tients. Mr Runciman and Mr A. B. Canty,the retiring directors, were unanimouslv re-elected.

DIAMOND JUBILEE

OXFORD TERRACE BAPTISTCHURCH.

HISTORY OF CONGREGATION.

The Diamond Jubilee, which is beingcelebrated by the congregation of theOxford Terrace Baptist Church thisweek, is not the Jubilee of the founda-tion of the actual Church building inOxford terrace, but - the Diamond Jubi-lee of the establishment of the congre-gation which founded the Church fiftyyears ago. Actually, the Baptist relig-ion, had been established in. Christ-church from the very earliest days ofthe Canterbury settlement,' but up to1881 the congregation hadbeen moreor less disunited, without any settledhome.

The Church's beginning here was -ahumble one, the ,first meetings in - Can-terbury being conducted in the homesit its first followers, who included MrT. A. Pannett (father of a present life-deacon .of the Church, Mr J. A. Pan-nett), Mr All<?hin, Mr and Mrs ThomasLewis, the two brothers-Ford, MessrsJohnson, Hebden, and Mr and , MrsTunmer. The first services were held al-ternatively. in the homes of the All-chine (their house was either of cobor sod, which stood in what is howFitzgerald avenue), and of the Tun-me'rs.

From suc-h ' humble temples the Bap-tists,,following an increase in numbers,moved to an. early Oddfellows' Hall inLichfield street, and later to a building—thought to have been erected by, theChurch people themselves—-in St. Asaphstreet, this last move being made in1867.

The first Baptist minister to have adefinite charge in Christchurch wasthe Ilev. Decimus Dolamore, who wasthe. first, nynister. of, that faith to be

established in New Zealand—he hadbeen appointed to Nelson in 1851. lieministered in the Lichfield streetbuilding, which is described in the his-tory writteii Jjy Mr Hercos as standingin a "paddock" somewhere about thesite pf the present building, of Rossand Glendining.

Mr Dolamore found that differencesof religious views among his flockmilitated against co-operation, andafier the Church had declined to takeany actionin a certain case, he re-signed. Then came a serious divisionof membership, one of the factionshaving its headquarters in a buildingon the ground: now occupied by theY.M.C.A. The factions 'were later re-united, the. Lichfield street , buildingwas sold to the Fire Brigade, and theunited body of Baptists worshipped inthe mora commodious church in Here-ford street This movement, "Which oc-curred in 1871, marks the foundationof the present congregation of theChurch in Oxford terrace. .

Then followed years" of rather unsat-isfactory ministry* for, the church, untilin 1876 .the congregation addressedovertures to the Chrysostom of theEnglish Baptist ministry for-a newpastor. The congregation - then num-bered 120.

Their cali : was answered by CharlesDallaston, one of the best of the pupilswho studied- under the great Baptist,Charles Haddon Spurgeon. Mr Dallas-ton and his wife (both were young)arrived at Lyttelton in January, 1877,and the young pastor commenced whatwas destined to prove a vital andfruitful tainistry., His assumption ofthe charge was followed by;a forwardmovement in the Church.

New Site Procured. AEarly in 1878 plans .ware discussed

for purchasing more land and* enlarg-ing the Hereford Street Church,but tnese plans 1 were dropped infavour of. a proposal to seoure a siteon Oxford terrace, by the Madrasstreet bridge, and half an acre of landwas bought for £1325. To this site thechapel in Hereford ■street was- removeden bloc, a team of horses draggingit through the Square, in which it wasobliged'to epewd a week-ond en route.A year later in 1881, it was resolvfedto build the present church on thesite, a loan of £3OOO being raised,with interest at seven per cent. So- on

October 14th," 1881, the foun-dation stone was laid with fitting cere-mony: ■

In July, of. 1883-the new .church wasopened for service. It was the-largestBaptist- Church in. New Zealand, seat-ing' 650 persons. There were acousticand heating problems which had to beovercome ; the early;debt weighed heav-;ily on .the ministera-and' cfHigrâtKm,

and other vicissitudes were encoun-tered. But tlie CI lurch remainedsteadfast through its trials.

Subsequent Pastors.Most of the greatest men in the his-

tory of the Baptist Church have min-istered from the pulpit of Oxford ter-race—some men whose fame went fur-ther afield., ,

The Rev.' Charles Dallaston, who istaking part in the jubilee celebrations—was much sought after by othercolonial congregations during his 14years as pastor in Chrißtchurch, duringwhich his careful fostering of theChurch has resulted in a growth inmembership of nearly 300. He gaveup his ministry in July, 1891. ITh© Rev. W. Birch succeeded him> jbut after a little more than a year in )Christchurcb he received an Americandegree and with it an appointment inCalifornia.

Then came to the church in answerto. another call to the Rev. C. • H.Spurgeon in England, the Rev. Jos-eph Doke; orator, preacher, author,social reformer, and the first biogra-pher of Gandhi. He was a man ofmarked

_

distinction, and his seven'years with the Oxford Terrace Churchwere eventful. ' When this missionerresigned the charge 219 new membershad been received into the church, andits debt had be'en reduced from £2OOO |to £9OO. He spent his remaining 11years in-South-Africa.Bev. B. S. Gray and Rev. 3. J. North, j

• In December, 1895, were welcomed toministerial rank the Rev. J. J-North, who was later to become an-other of the church's most jdistinguished pastors, and the Rev. R.S. Gray, who succeeded Mr Doike. j

Mr Gray directed the work of the;Church from 1902—after having servedat Nelson—until 1912. His were yearsof expansion and extension throughoutthe City. In 1904 the construction ofthe present commodious Sunday schoolwas undertaken. Branches of theChurch were opened in Hornby andLinwood.

On Mr Gray's departure, for, Dun-,edin in 1912 a unanimous invitationwas sent to the Rev. J. J. North, whohad been for seven years minister toSpreydon. A feature of his ministrya,t Oxford terrace was the introductionof the church magazine, the "Bap-tist," now in its 19th year. It was hisduty, too, to serve during the eventfulyears of the-Great War, while in 1922ho represented the .oongregation at theBaptists' World Conferenoe ; in Stock-holm. He was honoured in 1924 withthe appointment as the first principalof the Baptist College in Auckland.From Canterbury, in Melbourne,■camehis'. successor, -theßev. J; Rob-

ertson. who returned to Australia fouryears afterwards.•He was succeeded by the Rev. L. A.

North, .the present pastor.

REMINISCENT SOCIAL.

MEMORIES OF FIFTY YEARS.

A reminiscent social evening in con-nexion with the jubilee celebrations ofthe Oxford Terrace Baptist Churchwas held in the Chtifch Hall last even-ing. •The Rev. L. A. North presidedover a crowded- gathering.

The Rev. M. A. Rugby Pratt - con-veyed the greetings of the Christ-church Ministers' Association. The As-sociation was aware, he said, of thegreat contribution of the Oxford Ter-race Church to the spiritual life of theCity. Ho reviewed the pastoratessince 1903.' The value of an inspiringpast ; lay-, in the relationship it bore tothe years "to come. Change was thefundamental of all human• things, butin the midst of-it the only permanencewas in Christ.

Debt-to the. Past.The Rev. B. M. Wilson, president of

the Canterbury Baptist Auxiliary, alsoextended greetings. On such an oc-casion. it. was not .possible to fail torealise the debt to- the past and thememory of that past was an inspira-tion. It was well to remember thework of the succession of pastors and.laytaen, who had brought the '.churchto its present position.

The chairman read numerous lettersof greeting from, friends and pastmembers of the church.

The Rev. .Charles Dallaston, who wasminister of the church from 1876 to1891,; said-that even after 40 years itwas like coming home to be at OxfordTerrace again.. He had been 24 whenho .arrived, and had then little ex-perience, but he had received greatassistance from the church officers andthe congregation. He had had a-smallshare in. building up the. denominationin\)hristchurch, ana was the only sur-'viving member of the group who formed,the Baptist Union" in the City. It had

• then been easier-to-get converts, forthere were no motor-cars and no Sun-day outings. One of the first men tocall- upon him in Christcfyurch had been

, Fishop Harper. He referredr to numer-ous incidents—mostly humorous—whichhad occurred during the period of his-ministry. He would-never legret hav-, :ing spent so>inany years church.

Influence in Community.The City's grcttings were conveyed

by the jbeputy-M.iyor (Mr J. K.Archer), in the place of the Mayor(Mr D. G Sullivan, M.P.), who hadbeen called suddenly to Wellington.The foundation of his own ehurcb 'inColombo street had been due to MrDallaston. A church like Oxford Ter-race could not be in existence for 60years without having considerable _ in-fluence on the life of the community.If there was ever a tiuie: when the!influence of the Church was required,"that time was the present.

Mr E J. D. Hercus said that hisown memories of the church'went back30 years. He reviewed the~ progress: ofthe past ten years.

Memories of old, identities in ; thechurch 'were related by Mr.A. F.Carey.

The musical programme included aviolin solo by Mr Stephen-. iflsom andsongs by Mrs R. E. Voller, MrsC. O.Holland, Mrs Aitken," and Miss;HildaAndrews.

The celebrations will 'he ?continuedthi®_ evening, whena commemorativeservice will be held in:the church.- TheRev. Lawrence A. North will preside.The address will be given- by the Rev..1. J. North, D.D., ,principal of theNew Zealand Baptist College at Auck-land. Dr. North's subject will be:"Love, the Law of Life—Kagawa'sChallenge to the World."

To-morrow evening.l a - musical festi-val, under the direction of Mr V.- C.Peters, will be'held in the church.- Anexcellent' programme has been pre-pared, and will include excerpts from"The Creation"' and "Elijah*." Miss;Eveline Hill will sing "And God JSaid,Ltt the Earth" (reoit.) and "WithVerdure Clad" (air). Miss Vera Mar-tin will sing With Mo(Liddle) and "God Shall Wipe AwayAll Tears"' (Sullivan). The Rev.

ing her in the Oaks in New Zealandlast year, over a mile and a half, prob-ably was too severe a strain, ma shehas not recovered. Two good races atBandwick caused a revision of ideas ofretiring her, but now the stud may boher destination.KahajuUcapped.

TROTTING HANDICAPS.

TO TIES EDITOR OK TUB I'BESS

•Sir,—"Bamboozled" has raised apoint in the relianclicapping of festivalfor the Wellington Meeting that mayrequire an explanation that it is notpossible to give if wo are to follow tliesystem to a detail. While admittingthat Festival wAs penalised for theWellington Meeting 12 yards beyondthe bounds of possibility, i.e., thelimits stipulated by tho system, xbseems to me that the mare was harshlytreated. Presuming that Mr Jardeuhad re-assessed; Festival to Lino 29 in.stead of Line 89, he would hardly havebeen blamed. In this ease festivalwould have appeared on 2.15 for a mile(a penalty of 12 yards) and 011 2,4tffor a wile and a quarter, a rightful(and limit) penalty over the longer dis-tance. Mr Jarden was as severe as hepossibly could be on Festival. Afittl© leniency would have put mattersright.

"Uamboozlcd" lias raised a very in-teresting point when lie says that "MrPaul must have made his- handicapfrom assessments supplied by the Trot-ting: Conference, and rehanaicaps aremade by other handioappers." Thisalmost means that tho handicapper em-ployed by the club had least of all. todo with tlie handicapping of the meet-ing. The*question arises: Are hancji-cappers necessary? A clerk with atleast a passing knowledge of trottingand the system could do the work forthe whole of New Zealand under asystem that can be made well-nigh per-fect,—Yours, etc.,

The result of the ' Melbourne Cap,like fchiit of the Victoria Derby, wasa surprise to New Zealandeis, as apartfrom Lhe failure of Phnr Lap and thodisappointment of Concentrate lilliugonly third place, the winner. WhiteNose, was practically unknown in thiscountry, while in Australia he was notmentioned in the enrly discussions. He.however, enmo under notice by win-ning the Hotham Haqdiofiu, a mileand a half, on the first (Saturday)of the present Jkfeefcing, beating CarryOn by three and a half lengths, withSecond Wind, two lengths away. Inthe cabled comment on the race, it wasstated that he lad throughout and guvoa splendid Cup trial, so that b© wouldprobably be in local favour for yester-day's race. . White Nose hails fromAdelaide, find w%j bred by her pwner,Mr H. P. MoLaohlan, who has figured:

prominently in South rac-ing circles for some,time. White Nose'ssire, Paratoo, is by Pistol from XeuaBell's, ind, according to records avail-able, ' White Nose was his sole- repre-sentative racing in Australia last sea-son. Yesterday's; winner had, prior toSaturday's success, very poor creden-tials as a racehorse, as at two. years,in his own State, he contested elevenraces for one win, and ten unplacedperformances; as a three-year-old heran second twice in eight starts, andlast season again failed to win a race,his record being confined to two secondplacings, and onco third in seventeenattempts. Shadow King, runner-up to

I White Nose yesterday, holds the dis-i tinet ion of filling a place in the Cupiin two successive year.-,, as twelve

1 months ago he ran third to Phar Lapand Second Wind, and this perform-ance followed a few days after, his mostimportant .win, in the Moonee ValleyGold Cup of 1500 eovs.

3H impasse between the tv>o parties.Jlr George Hunter occupied the chair,

Jlr Nicoll outlined the steps takonto safeguard the interests of the freegrowers, He had seen Mr Ireland"chairman Of the millers), and pointedout that the £»ee growers would bebound by the Association, which MrIreland admitted would not be a fairthing; Ho had seen Mr W. W. Mul-holland, chairman of the Wheat PooLwho stated that the free growers werenot organised, and would have no sayin the disposal of tho crop. Ho out-lined tha result of Mr Mulholland'smeeting at Culvcrden, and also that ofthe free growers' meeting at Ashbur-ton, which requested representation onthe Board of Management.

The. free growers, said Mr Nicoll,were in a big majority in New Zealand;tat apparently they had no say.

Beply to Pool Chairman."In Mr Mulholland's speech at lTa-

Yot ho refuses tho freewheat-growers' request for equal repre-sentation with the Pool to the Boardof Management. Wo have repeatedlyoffered to work with him on thoseterms, and yet he continues to shut thedoor injur face.

"Mr mulholland sayg that the Poo]. and the millers have agreed that there

must be no discrimination betweenmembers of the Pool and others (which

.is the result of legal advice). 9o fara» me millers are concerned, all ofUtowtiritb whom I have conversed have

the opinion that the constitu-. tiarqf;the. Board of Management as

snMuted by the freo wheat-growerswud'be an equitable adjustment oft&f MTeral interests; but unfortunately

Ik Jfalholland, does pot agree, and eo*ii» Meat-growers are kept apart by

refusal, and he has now notified u»I that he intends to finalise the agree-

ment immediately, and to appoint pro-. . visional directors. While the free

are unitedly in favourof sn agreement with tho millers, it iscertain that Mr Mulholland ill gravelyweeding his authority in attemptingto bind all the wheat-growerp in thoDominion to an agreement to which the'frte growers have not signified theirapproval."

v. ,The Proposed Agreement.While Mr Mulholland told Ma JJakaia

, auditage that only minor alterations hadMen suggested to the agreement, pro-eMed Mr Nicoll, it was right to do-elare that the' free grower#' comwit-tse had so far expressed no opinion onft# subject, but now that Mr Mulhol-ltod raised the question, it must beclearly emphasised that there were aav-

■ «*) Clauses in the agreement which. M?«red very serious consideration be-

fore the free growers could give it .theirendorsement, and if Mr Mulholland in-Unded to sign up without the free(powers' consent he would he carrying

, # heavy responsibility,; Mr Mulholland had stated at Eakaia

fiat the time fixed for the duration of"•a agreement waß one year, and there-after at the discretion of the partieswaierned, Surely that was very mis-

. yphen the agreement definitely; «Pimed that It weald run on indefinite-

ly Ofttil one party thereto gave the. othtr'party notice to terminate it.

"Mr Mulholland says that I desiredf to create discussion, which was moat un-

jjMirable. The facts are that when Iawt saw him, he said that any pr.b-«ity would be fatal to the scheme, and

, Jat once told him that to far as the;> wheat-growers were concerned, we;

wotid hold our meetings in committeeWd hand out no controversial matter

the Press. Yet the next week MrMulholland published a full statement«the scheme in the newspapers and to-

with other controversial points,that the free wheat-growers would

■?ave no say in the management of the,aex* Season's wheat harvest."

* Stock. Agents' Bepresentation.■ Bo far as the stock agents are con-

Baid Mr Nicoll, "we know that. ?7V*b&ve made strong representations

Correspondence Bead..Mr Nicoll read correspondence thattad passed between the Pool and him-self, to explain the present position. OnOct°l>er 15th the manager of the Pool,-Mr E. McPherson, had written to himas follows:'At a combined committee meeting ofmillers and directors of this Associa-

teCld yester(lay> it "was considered

tnat the matter of concluding the 1932wheat marketing scheme was mosturgent, and should bo carried throughas speedily as possible in order thatthe organisation may bo in a positiono handle the 1932 wheat immediatelyit comes on to the market.

Inthis connexion the opinion of tho Boardis backed by a resolution passed at themeeting of our Electoral Committeeir in yhristchurch this week.".Replying to Mr McPherson on Octo-ber 28th, Mr Nicoll wrote:—

You state that you propose to usoyour judgment in the mattor pf com-pleting tho 1932 wheat marketingscheme forthwith, despite tho fact that;(1) Tiour Association only xopre*sonts a minority of tho wheat-growerain the Dominion;"(2) That the freo wheat-growers

Week, as the free growors are anxiousfor .unanimity, and X anticipate littledifficulty in corning to an agreementacceptable to all. If the agreementwith the millers is completed as sug-gested, the responsibility for muchaction must rest with you.''

A Message from DarfiaM.Continuing, Mr Nicoll said he under-

stood all tho millers had come to anagreement. Yesterday morning he hadreceived word from Mr Judd (Darfleld),a free grower and a friend of MrMulholland, who had requested that aproposal fee put to the speaker that a

i provisional Board be appointed to tran&- iact urgent necessary business, pendingthe appointment of the Board of Man-agement, owl agreeing to tha appoint-ment of two Pool and two free growers'representatives.

�'That," said Mr Nicoll, "was all thofree growers asked for in the beginningand what Mr Mulholland had turneddown flatly in the first place,"

With the permission of the meeting,Mr B. B. Meek, a director of theWheat-growers' Association, attendedtho meeting at this stage.

Now that the free growers had setup an electoral committee, said MrNicoll, Mr Mulholland had asked theAshburton Committee to appoint tworepresentatives; but the free growershad no option but to allow the elec-toral committee, which will sit inChristdmrch on Friday week, to dealwith the question. With the appoint-ment of tho electoral committee, theold Ashburton committee could notfunction. If Mr Mulholland now allowedthe freo growers to appoint two repre-sentatives to the Board of Manage-ment, all thoir troubles could drop,and they could get on with the busi-ness of the disposal 'of next season'swheat.

Mr Mulholland had stated that therewore 300,000 acres in wheat, which,with average crops \Vould produce

) £OO 000 bushel*. The average con-sumption was 8,500,000 bushels, andthough the surplus would be nothing innormal times, these were abnormaltimes, and they wanted protection thisReason, otherwise some growers wouldreceive 4s 6d and others would haveto come down to world parity.

Disposal of the Crop.A resolution was thereupon • carried

affirming the desirability of coming toan arrangement with regard to the dis-posal of next season's crop,

Mr Nicoll then pointed out that theagreement was for one year, but ranon indefinitely with termination >nthree months' notice on either side,and it was rosolved that any arrange-ment entered into with the millersstiould be for a perio.'l not exceedingtwo years.

It was to the advantage of all thegrowers, said Mr Nicoll, if they couldget an amicable agreement with themillers. He stated that the informationreceived from Mr Judd (Dariield) wisquite unofficial; but apparently'Mr Mul-holland was going to concede the freegrowers' request at last. They werenot going to tight the stock and stationagents' battles; but ho asked the meet-ing to affirm tho desirability of thoirbeing represented on the Board, fortheir advice and assistance,

Referring to the management of theWheat-growers' Association, Mr Nicollsaid it was no secret tha? the Poolmembers blamed the free growers, stat-ing 'that 'they'(the Pool members) were"carrying the baby"; but the freegrowers did not ask them to do so.

A Resolution Carried.The meeting decided that it was ne-

cessary in the interests of all wheat*

growers, if a Board was to be estab-lished to manage affairs in connexionwith nest season's wheat crop, thatBUOh a Board shall consist of an equalnumber Of representatives of Pool inem-bers, and of the free growers; also thattwo members of the stock and stationAgents should be added to the Board,in order that wheat-growers should atall times have the benefit of theirbusiness experience; the millers to haveequal representation on the Board withallied interests.

Mr Nicoll asserted that the freegrowers were not splitting with thePool members or the millers on thequestion of the stock and station agents'representatives, who would be appoint-ed by their own Association.

A motion was then carried, that theappointment of representatives of thefree growers on the Board of Manage-ment shall be left to a committee elect-ed at meetings of free growers, calledin several districts, not more than threecommitteemen to be appointed in anyone district.

Messrs G. Hunter, "Wharton, andLudeman were appointed delegates tothe committee.

On being invited to address the meet-ing, Mr B. B. Meek said the Pool mem-bers would have liked four wheat-grow-era on the Board of Management, irre-spective of whether they were Pool orfree growers. They did not want thegrowers divided, but to present a unitedfront, That, he thought, was the rightattitude to take up.

(Speaking on the management of theWheat-growers' Association, Mr Meekstated that the manager was very cap-able and his henrt nnH soul were in (in-

operative marketing. The matter Sadbeen held up for a couple of months;but it was desirable to push ahead withthe work immediately, and get the pro-visional Board appointed on November12th. The wheat-growers in this coun-try . could not go on without an organi-sation to protect their interests. Hehoped they would stick together for alltime, to ensure the growers getting afair spin.

Unity Desired.Mr Nicoll endorsed Mr Meek's re-

marks, stating that Mr McPherson wasa capable, keen man, and an efficientmanager. He pointed out the necessityfor the best possible management bytho Board, and expressed his personaladmiration of Mr Mulholland. However,they coulil not get nway, «nid Mr Nicollfrom the fact that the Pool had notbeen a success, and the free growerswere not content to leave next season'swheat under the same management. ThePool had started an impossible scheme.If the Pool started with control of3,000,000 bushels out of 10,500,000 tlnnthey had 110 chance of making a successof it. With the concession of the freegrowers' right to appoint their ownrepresentatives, the question of the Pooland the free growers was dropped, andhe hope! thoy would all pull together asone body.

Votes of thanks were accorded MrNicoll for his address, and to the chair-man.

Owing to altered shipping arrange-ments affecting the South de-parture, it is suggested that New Zea-land's invitation for a tour may be ac-cepted.

SYDNEY, November 3.The South African cricketers' itin-

erary may have to bo drasticallychanged, owing to the Themistocles, onwhich they intend proceeding home,sailing a fortnight earlier thanscheduled, and there being no othersteamer for a month.

The date of the fifth Test way haveto be brought forward if the shippingcompany refuses to adhere to the ori-ginal date for sailing.

An alternative suggestion is that theNow Zealand Cricket Council shouldbo approached to arrange threematches for the Springboks in orderthat they may be able to fill in thetime while awaiting a convenient ship.Foiling this the Tasmania n tour willbe curtailed.

NEW ZEALAND TEAM.

WELCOME HOME TO PLAYEKS.

As an official welcome home to theCanterbury members' of the New Zea-land cricket team, which has just re-turned from the English tour, theCanterbury Cricket Association willentertain them at afternoon tea atBallantynes to-morrow.

In introducing the subject at lastevening's meeting of the Association,the chairman (Mr W. Simpson) saidthat the Citizens' Association wasgiving a luncheon on Thursday as &

welcome home to Mr C. E. Jones, andto this had been invited the Canter-bury members of the team, as wall asthe chairman, secretary, and MrThompson, of the Association.

Mr Simpson continued that in washis opinion that the men would al-ready have hfid enough oT functions.They had attended one in Auckland,Kiven by the New Zealand CricketCouncil, and he did not think thatanother one would be necessary, or ap-preciated, by the players. He sug-gested that the Association shouldsimply call a meeting, to which wouldbe invited all cricketers and the piub-

lie, and tho returning players couldgive a. talk. The younger players wouldbe interested in "tins, and would pro-bably attend.

Replying to a Question from MrKing, tho chairman said that Thurs-day's function was purely a receptionby tho Citizens' Association, and was

i in no way an official Cricket Assooia-[ tion arrangement.

j Mr Thompson proposed that the As-sociation officially welcome the playershomo at an afternoon tea at lkillan-

I tynes on Thursday.After further discussion, it was

agreed that, subject to the arrange-ment meeting tho approval of theplayers, the wolcome be held as sug-gested by Mr Thompson, and that tnlksby the players be arranged' later.

A.n invitation for as many membersas ppssiblo to attend tho welcomo homogivtin by tho Old Boys' Cricket Clubwas accepted.

PROFESSIONALISM.

COMMENT IN ENGLAND.

LONDON, November 2.The "Evening Standard's' 1 sports

writer says the Australians' only hopeof preventing cricketers going over toLeague cricket is the recognition ofprofessionalism. Ho also says :

"It is disquieting to find the NewZealanders' praising England's olderbowlers in preference to H. Verity, \V.E. Bowes, and F. R. Brown. It seemsundisputabla that England's art ofbowling has declined. Wo fear woshall bo helpless against the Austra-lians' strong batting in 1932, unlessa better attack develops than at "pre-sent seems likely.''

CANTERBURY ASSOCIATION

PROPOSALS FOR ENCOURAGINGBOWLERS.

TUs report of the Special OQUimittce setnp iy the Canterbury Cricket Association to

consider ways of developing bowling,presented to laet evening's meeting of theAssociation. After some discussion the meet-ing decided that copies of the proposals sub-mitted be sent to offiotoU eU the elubfi,and that the matter bo reopened- at thenext meeting of the committee.

Those present were Messrs \V. Simpson

(iu the chair), 0. S. Thompson, W, L- King,

S. G. licster, A. Day, 0. E. Evans, I' 1. A.Jarrett, G. H. Eobertson, 0. T. His, R- 0.Burns, K. E. Luttroll, W. J. V. Hamilton,and O. H. Aylins.

The committee's report suggested that com-petitions be arranged a#, follows- |

(a) Club competitions (including sub* jassociations) to bo arranged by clubß them-selves. .

.„ _.

!(b) Champion of champions from each

olub. . t .

These competitions, which wore to oojudged by two adjudicators, were to excludeall Canterbury representative* and es-repre-aentatlveß, and were tu consist of fast,ium, slow right hand, and slow loft

sections. The rules suggested for the com-petitions were: Each bowler to bowlovers of four balls each, A maximum of 10points to be given for approach, delivery,lo&gth, and direction j a maximum of 10points an over to be judged on the fulfilmentof the conditions.

It was also auggested that on essay com-petition be arranged alonj! tne lines pro-posed in Mr CayciH'« letter.

Finally, the committee recommended thatpublic lectures be arranged with prominentspeakers, and that a Coaching _ Committee ofthree experienced players be given authorityby the Association to visit the various x>arksin order to ossist the young bowlers.

The prizes proposed were one cash prifceof 10s in each section, 5s to be_ provided bythe club and 5s by the Association and eachSub-Association. For the champion of cham-pions a cash prize of £2 2s for first andone of £X Is for second In each section wereproposed.

Members pointed out that the payment ofcash prizes would infringe the players' ama-teur status, and ofter it bad been suggest-ed that cricket material be substituted forthe cash prizes, tho meeting decided that thequestion be held over until the next meeting,tho executive and secretaries of eluba tobo provided with copies of the recommenda-tions in the meantime.

Match WttS Hawke'a Bay Suggested.A letter was received from the Hawke's

Bay Cricket Association asking that tli©Canterbury team b» allowed to play againstHawke's Bay, at Napier, either before orafter the Plunkei Shield match at Auckland.As a result of the earthquake the Associa-tion had suffered severely, and it would bomany years before the lost ground wouldbe regained. The suggestion of a match withthe Canterbury team had been received ivithgreat enthusiasm in Hawke's Bay.

A letter was also received from tho (SouthCanterbury Crjoket Association Inviting theAssociation to send a Canterbury representa-tive cricket team to Timaru before Christ-mas, the South Canterbury Association pro-mising to contribute to the team's expenses.

Mr Thompson said that if possible helpshould be given to the Hawke's Bay Associa-tion. It would be impossible to send a re-presentative team to Timaru, and as onehad been played in Timaru last year, hethought that the help should be given toHawke's Bay. He accordingly moved thatthe South Canterbury Association be In-formed that it would be impossible for a Can-terbury representative team to visitTimaru before Christmas.

The motion was seconded and carried.Tho meeting decided that the question of

■the match with Hawke's Bay be held overuntil thq question had been discussed withtho secretary of tho Hawlce's Bay Association.

Messrs Jf. O'Malley, W. L. King. and A.S. Jacobs were appointocl selectors tor theBraban Shield team, and it was decided thattho Wellington Association be written tosuggesting January 2nd as the date for thematch, the game to be played at LancasterPark.

It wbb decided that a (natch between theCanterbury representatives and a colts' teambe played at Hagley Park on Show Day.

On the motion of Mr Thompson it wasdaoided that the secretaries of clubs bewritten to advising that the larger stumpsmust 'ba provided in the Association'smatches.

THE RANGATIRA.INTEREST AT LYTTELTON.

CROWDS VISIT NEW FERRYSTEAMER.

"A wonder ship" is an apt descrip-tion of the Union Steam Ship Com-pany's new turbine electric ship Ranga-

l.lra, which arrived at Lyttelton yester-day'to take up her running in theferry service. Her equipment includesevery device possible for the pafety of; he ship and the comfort of the pas-sengers, from the latest echo fathom-recording device on the bridge to amachine in the saloon bar which manu-factures tiny cubes of ice which »*ie

1hirsty passenger may place m hiswhisky and soda.

With, her own name-flag at the tore-mast and the house-flag of the company;ii> the mainmast, _tlio_ Rangatira wasthe object of admiration of hundredsof Lyttelton people this morning as:-he came into view around OfficersPoint- It was expected that, being anew ship of a design different from theother ferry steamers, it would take alittle longer to berth her, but to thesurprise of the onlookers she stoppedsmartly outside the moles, and_ then-•uiotly bncked into her berth withoutu. hitch.

Ease of Handling."She will do all that i.-s required

cf her," said Captain W. D. Cameronwhen seen'shortly after the arrival ofIhe vessel. "She handles easily, quiteas easily as the others, and is a goodottering ship, which is the mainthing." The captain was showing un-mistakable signs of pride in his newcommand, and escorted The Press re-presentative around the ship. The mazeof devices and indicators in the wheel-Ilouse and cliart-room were explained.First, there is an ordinai'y telephoneservice to all parts of the ship. Thenthere is a loud-speaker telephone ser-vice to the bow and stern, the engine-room, and several other places of im-portance in navigation.

Then there is that wonderful ma-t.hine, rather like an elaborate radioset. the echo fathom-recorder. Byitnding a sound from the bottom ofthe ship to the ocean bed, and thenmeasuring the time taken for the echoro return, the recorder gives the depthof water, and it will give these sound-ings as fast, as 60 a minute. AnotherM'j-ies of switches enablesall the water-tight doors to be closed from thebridge, while yet another switch causes-.warm gongs to be sounded all over theship.

Fire and Smoke Indicator..V glass-fronted cabinet, something

like a grandfather clock, is a fire andwmoke indicator. A number of tubesfrom the different holds terminate inthe cabinet, under a strong light. Bypressing a switch a powerful suctionfan is started and air drawn from theholds, revealing any smoke that maybe in any particular hold. Even acigarette bemg smoked in the holdwill, he indicated in the cabinet. Amaster-clock in the wheelhous© con-trols every clock in the vessel. Onedial shows the readings of a patentsubmerged log oca the bottom of theship, but as a check on this the ordin-ary taffrail logs are also used. Thereis a - wireless direction-finder. An elec-trically-lighted indicator plan showsthe action of the two propellers andsteering, gear, and a further device.sots the siren to be sounded at any<l«sired interval during a fog or thicku eather.

The lifeboats .are of the latest de-sign and can be placed in the waterm25 seconds. They are fitted withpropellers, manually operated,nway with the use of oars.

The rentilation system is one of thefeatures of the ship. Every part ofthe vessel, from the captain's state-room to tho pantries and firemen'squarters, is thoroughly ventilated witha supply of air under pressure drawnj'vom the boat-deck, each outlet beingindividually controlled.

Hundreds of Visitors.One thousand visitors availed them-

selves o£ the opportunity yesterdayafternoon-of inspecting the ship. TheRailway Department ran a special trainto Lyttelton, and, in addition to this,many' persons arrived by car. Almostthe whole of the ship was open to thepublic. The accommodation for passen-gers, including the de-luxe state-rooms,the single berth state-rooms, and themany two-berth cabins in the secondclass,-were all the subject of favourablecomment, as were the imposing saloonvestibule, the saloon/ smoke-room, andthe two dining saloons.

The departure of the "Bangatira lastevening was witnessed by a crowd ofseveral hundreds, the wharf beingpacked. There was an unusually largenumber of , cars and motor-cyclesin the parking area on the waterfront.A profound impression "was made on theonlookers with the speed with whichthe ship left the wharf—it must havebeen over 15 knots—and the ease withwhich she turned out of the moles.

A. AND P. ASSOCIATIONS

METHVEN.The monthly meeting of the committee of

the Methven- A. and P. Association washold on Monday, Mr A-. F. Marr presiding.

The sub-committce appointed to meet re-presentatives, from Ashburton and Mayfieldregarding county flock ewe competitions ad-vised that Ashburton and Mayfield representa-tives had met, , but consideration of . furtherdetails had been left over till December,when another conference would -be arranged.

The Grounds Sub-Committee reported thatthe new pi; pens had been treated with oiland were now in good condition. The Sale-yards 00. had agreed to allow a gateway to beput in between the yards and the showgrounds. The horse loading bank was notsatisfactory, and it was suggested that a per-manent structure be erected. The report wasadopted.

Mr Geo. Maginness, secretary of tho Coband Pony. Society, wrote offering a suggestionin the giving of red and blue ribbons forfirst and second prize-winners. It was decidedto think Mr Maginness for his suggestion andto procure the necessary ribbons, for ' prize-winners.

The president stated that the New ZealandLoan and Mercantile Agency Co., Ltd., hadgiven a cup for competition for fat sheepand lambs, to replace Mr Freeman's cup,which was won outright last year. The NorthCanterbruy Co-op. Freezing Co. had alsoagreed to double its special prize for the com-ing show. -

Mr Jas. Carr.brought up the question ofthe disposal'of>wjieat for the coming season.He suggested, that the A.- and P.. Associationshould take up the matter in conjunction withthe local branch,of the Fanners' Union. Hestated that Mr W. Mulhollarid would be agree-able to come up and address all growers in-terested.

price of wheat is all right. We can makoplentv of money at tho present price.

It "is pointed out by a corporation vice-

DEHYDRATION OF MEAT.NEW METHOD, OF PRESERVATION.

REMARKABLE CLAIMS MADE BY IN-VENTOR OF PROCESS.

Interest iiv W?.at produpjng circles villbo aroiiseu t>y tixe claims made by llr Wil-liam . J.. Abbott regarding his invention forthe dehydration and resultant preservationof meat upon what. appears ,to bo an en-tirely new basis. Mr . Abbott claims thatlUeiit, treated by this process may. be. packedand marketed as, easily as, wheat or sugar.Thb nutritive properties of the meat are saidto remain, intact. ■ ,■ ■■ .

• Discussing his invention, Mr Abbott statesthat he has devoted many years of scien-tific investigation and experimental researchtb the perfecting of this dehydrating pro-cess. After numerous fallures and disappoint-ments he claims to have achioved .Biiccess.His method has ,completely overcome allthe objections to other dehydrating processesin that the water is removed in a fewminutes, the nieat is cleanßed of all im-purities, multiplication of putrefying bac-teria is rendered impossible, and tho flavourof the meat is unimpaired.

. By the Abbott process, he-gays, the meatretains its wholesomeness, ana there is notthe slightest risk .ot deterioration. ; Thovaluable proteins and vitamins aro unaf-fected, and all the nourishing food properties

their. original, freshness as closely asis scientifically possible. , ,

Owing to thfc prolonged heat of other pro-cesses, the prdteins become gritty, insoluble,and indigestible, ..and ..the—flavours. ..arevolatised or destroyed. . By tho Abbott pro-teas the proteins are soft and easily digestedand the flito flavours fully-retained;, ,

NO CHEMICALS OB PRESERVATIVES.The, Abbott method, states the inventor,

does not involve cooking the meat, nor areany chemicals or preservatives used. De-terioration cannot possibly occur, even wlienlarge commercial quantities of meat_ arebeing treated, nor can any chemical changetake placo during the process or after com-pletion of the finished product.

UTILITY OF THE. PRODUCT.Mr Abbott claims that his process ,is suit-

able for aiiy kind of raw meat. The beefproduct may be used for. all .classes of .pre-pared meat .diahes,. , an.d ; , may substituteordinary beef ..in any. recipe for solid, food,soups, or stews.
