PROGRESS & PROSPECTSINSTITUTE PRESIDENT'S

REVIEW

DIPEOVED TEACHINGSTANDARDS

In.a statement to a"Post" reporter,the new President of the New ZealandEducational Institute (Mr. F. L. Combs,M.A.) made an interesting review ofthe present conditions of education,the progress of recent years, and thelines upon which future developmentshould proceed;.

Perhaps thq best feature of recentimprovements, said Mr. Combs, is themarked improvement in. thp quality ofentrants to the profession. The responseto improved inducements in the wayof pay and prospects has-brought for-ward a type of probationer and student-teacher distinctly good, and in manycases' the best that could possibly beexpected under the 'conditions offered.These young people.before 21 nearlyall reached the cultural level equiva-lent to.the Arts Diploma. Sucha levelis indispensableto what is the educatedprofession. Even better, than this, in-creasing competition among appointees(three for every allows ofthe selection of those whose personalityfits them for their' difficult' work andwho are adapted in point of aptitudeand physique to its performance.

Such a type of entrant augurs wellfor the transformation of. educational,development to a wider and higherrange of social usefulness.- Fortunately Ithis transformation is so urishakably'1pressed upon tfie system by generalsocial influences that' it ■ cannot " beavoided and must be consummated. Ontlio personnel of the teaching profes-sion,.its members its quality, thesnecess-of this, transformation' almostwholly, depends. As things .are .goingone is entitled to be optimistic of thefuture.. " ■■ -" . ■ . :■ .- ... ■ ■i

CREDIT TO SIB JAMfigPAiRB.In the "sphere of general politics

teachers are variously aligned,but mostwould agreethat the'administration ofSir James Parr .'marked-,such 'an ■ ad-vance as to create almost an epoch.In addition to theVgfeat deal that wasaccomplished in tho: constructive way,'something perhaps .better was . alsobrought into being... It ,was the defi-nitely-raised .standard of, method,andaccomplishment for the schools. .Thisstandard now" was widely accepted by:educational authorities, by the generalpublic, and by the parents as a soundfoundation for the' of a systemconsonant with the' prime importanceof .education as a',department of State.activity. .: -. ...-.',. ' . . '

" Perhaps recent improvements : canbest be summed up tader'two heads—discipline and instruction.DISCIPLINE.

What change has taken place underthis heading? Classeshave, as the'jHon. E. A. Wright \claims, been re-duced, but are ■ still too large. Thehandling,of masses inevitably necessi-tates regimentation. There is reasonto doubt.whether order is heaven's firstlaw-Kino would incline to think' thatheaven is ruled by harmony, but inthe schools the need of order, subordi-nation^ and.a measure of regimentationwill always be a : prominent require-ment till the; classes are brought downto the scientific maximum -which is alsothe scientific minimuni. .. Still,' thisbej-ng admitted, the spirit .of control inthe,schools.is a great^ deai-.bettet thanmilitary,-the ■■mutual "attitude of pupils-parent, and teactar-'ljias changed:from-one involvinga: good-deal-"of oppositionand. hostility- to one of co-operation.The- school throughput' its "activities isdynamised' to-day by a spirit of socialgoodwill. The reduction' in- class num-bers already noted. Jias' something' todo with this-e-it has..led to a. more, lib-eralised .technique, arid" control, givingmore free play to the individual, butthe change,_ in mjr 'dpiriionj is mainly,due to the improvement, speaking,gen-erally; is tiie personnel of *he teacherand to his: deeper,. mdre sympatheticinsight into the Child psychology. Coer-cive methods are fast sinking into thebackground, and it .has,become a. car-dinal maxim of teaching practice'fortho teacher to gefr'the child-with.him.Onceclasses are:at the maxiniunvmini-muni alreadymentioned,something like,a revolution in the direction of afreehuman' atmbsphero will have beenworked in the school'as compared tolthat of a generation..ago.' .' '.-.*'■■

SUBJECTS Oi* XKisTBTTOTION.AVhothcr improvement has taken-placo under thia second heading of sub-jects of instruction or not .is a matterof debate. The pOint which, in myopinion, should be debated is whethertho instruction..is adapted to the needsof the individual child and the com-munitywhich will later oh demand suit

and service of him.- li< my opinionthere is no. room for doijjit that as re-gards both quality and quantity theinstruction is immeasurablybetter 'thanitwas.twentyor thirty.yoars ago.Moreis done;-it is aoaS.-;.better from thestandpoint of a sioro skilled and scien-tific techniquo-Mt is done by teachersmoro widely and well-informed andmore enthusiastic for thai developmen-tal'achievement without which instruc-tion is onlv'a drudgery, a'cram, and aroutine, and/ being these, .three,a'dot-Timent to rather than, an agent ofprogress^ ' ,',:- ':".".'

SPECIALIST TEAOHEES.One more encouraging feature shouldreceivo special mention—-it is the num-ber of teachers specialising along the'lines of their own particular aptitude—

music, science,'r6r some social subject,'and raising themselves to the highestattainable pitch of professional offici-oncy there. We have to-day quite anumber of teacher-musicians, teacher-scientists, teacher-students, of litera-ture, and the social subjects whose opin-ion would bo respected in even the mostexpert and specialised circlos. On theother hand, what corresponds to poda-gogical illiteracy, teachers' without a,certificate, will, in a'year or two, haveentirely disappeared. So much admit-ted in the xrayr ot a general, very en-couraging, view of. the outlook, thorois need to strces tl\o cardinal import-ance*among other reforms,-of a reduc-tion of classes (tho institute 'a -presentfig -to is 30), a reduction which willmake such a qualitative dllToronco intho selection of subject matter and thomethod of imparting it as to cro'ato anopoch in educational history. Withclasses of 40, 50, 60, arid ovon 70 as'existing at present indiv{dualisatiou, inany real sense of tho word, is impos-sible. '-..-■

EXPENDItUBE.One cannot leave the subject of edu-

cation without referring to oxpondi-ture. Any candid and complete inquiryinto this aspect will bring tho inevi-table admission that.expenditure is stillvery small. In round numbers it coats'the Dominion noarly £ 4,000,000 an-num for the. education of some 250,000students" of all ages. A good deal ofthis amount is spent in retrieving ar-rears (buildings,playground, eto.), whichniiist be debited riot to the prcsoiit butto a neglectful past. But eveii £4,----000,OOQis a very modest—too modest—educational budget. Tho total sumspeiifc on abasements,' relaxations, andpleasure in this Dominion must be Verynearly: £40,000,000. It is hot deniedthat much,of this entertainment outgois recouped in benefits to all ooneern-

cl—even what is commonly called"mere pleasure" ia by no nicnnß with-out positivo advantage to its partici-pants. The tendoucy of twentieth-cen-tury communitied'to Idad'fthappier, full-er life inofo'-. in keeping with the im-pulses and aspirations nativo to theflesh and spirit is all to, tho good.

But when this expenditure ir com-pared with that on education, when itia realised that thq rising generationarc confined to school during tho mosteffective'developmental period of theirwaking day, it cannot be denied that£4,000,000,with the limited amount ofmaterial it can buy and tho limitednumber of persons it can employ, is in-adequate to the greatest of nil insti-tutional tasks—that of bringing therising generation in mind, morals, andbody abreast of the very exhaustive re-quirements of modern life. Perhaps inthis connection it is well to dispose ofono_ fallacy still entertained by adwindling minority that teachers aretoo well off; In rejoinder to this itshould bo pointed out that, the culturalstandard of teachers is fast approachingthat of the medical, .legal, and otherlearned . profession%'■— that most ofthe. teacher's so-called leisure ishappily .and busily occupied inraising himself to this profes-ional standard. In addition, figureswill show that teachers still are under,rather than over ■remunerated. Thehead tsachers of our largest schools/the statistical index figure, being takeninto account, .are receiving; at least one-fifth less than was the case thirty yearsago. A remedy should be found forthis. That a gentleman whose respon-sibilities in a cit3r are ' equivalent tothose of its prominent business,indus-trial and professional people, should bereceiving from one-half to one-third ofthe amount that these do, is not econ-omics,and that being bo it is not sound(i.e. efficient) administration. Insuch business circles the view is unani-mous that the ultimate goal of everysuccessful teacher should be made adeal more attractive.

'GOQbWHtti'Td THE SCHOOL.In conclusion/-1 would, like to saythis —Although the.-teaching profession

is confident of a very ■widely-spreadandactive goodwill toward the schools,it-is always the case that advantages,gained must be. conserved. The pro-fession appeals to.^parents and. public-spirited citizens, to see that ■whateveris done at the present juncture,nothingis permitted which is likely to'preju-dice the attractiveness and successfulworking of the schools.' Teachers donot .claim that parents are primarilyconcerned with justice, to, themselves.Through their own corporate organisa-tion, the Institute, they-are expected,(Juite Tightly, to safeguard their ownequitable rights as 'a eection of thepublic service. All the communityas a whole.is asked to do is to seethat there is no lowering of the stand-ard of child well-being, intellectual andphysical. Thisstandard is too vitalto society and the nation, for publicopinion' to permit it to be in the slight-est degree lowered; Current tenden-cies as indicated in opinions expressedin the press particularly should there-fore be vigilantly scrutinißed,and thewelfare of schools immediately andjealously safeguarded; .

The duty of the school is to see thatits inmates have,life and have it moreabundantly. Not nntii the most ismade of the. school and individual de-velopment of the. pupil, can We feelthat the school has made the most ofthe great national, asset entrusted toit.- ■ ■";r " .. ■ ■ '-.'..

(Special to "Evening Post.'.')SYDNEY, 6th June.

Tremendous interest has been arousedin golfing circles in_New Sotth Wales,,and indeed all over Australia, by thevisit here of -toe New1 Zealand golf!team.

"...A.warm welcome awaited the NewZoalandera on their : arrival in Sydneyon Tuesdaylast.

They, are particu-larly interested in the veteran cham-pion, Arthur Duncan, who has retainedhis form long past the time when, theordinary golfer is considered of itas far as "big" golf is "concerned.

They com-bined with local amateurs to make ateam and met the professionals oh theBoyal Sydney." Club's links at EoseBay.

ENTERTAINMENTSDE LUXE THEATRE.

Reginald Denny has never achievedgreater success than in his latest comedy,"The CheerfulFraud," which was screen-ed ab the De Luxe Theatre last night.He plays the role of Sir Michael Fairlie,an English nobleman who falls in Wewith pretty Ann Kent during a terrificrainstorm. When the skies clear againSir Michael does not get on so-well withhis new acquaintance. In order, to getout of the tangle he takes a position assecretary to a newly-rich social climberand changes his name. Themost ludicrouscomplications follow. Amongst theriot ofmerriment, may be mentioned the noble-man's flight over the housetops,' the theftof valuable jewels with suspicious on thewrongman; a mad flight ina ranawaycarin tha middle of the storm, with the Eng-lishman and the crook battling for thewheel. Emily Fiteroy acts opposite to.Denny. -The .supporting pictures are allwell.received. The musical portion of theprogramme was greatly admired. ' Mr.Emanuel Aarons was heard on the Wur-litzer organ in a pot pourri of opera and"In a Persian Garden," and the or-chestra greatly pleased with the march."Imp1" (Alford)i played as an overture,and the novelty entr'acte, "Souvenir,"inwhich the orchestra and organ combined.

Presenting the love, the beauty, andthe glory of old Spain, "The Night ofliove," which opens at the De Luxe Thea-tre on 24th June,is another triumph forRonald Colmanand Vilma Banky. The■keynote of the production is the old ro-mance of the days that are goneand daysof grandeur and colour. It will be con-sidered Ronald Colman'sgreatest picture,for he fits .his role perfectly and reachesnew heights of dramatic interpretation.Miss Banky displays an acting abilitywhich shouldrank her the greatest of theyoungerstars in America. As the PrincessMarie, niece of the King of France,she'suffers,loves,and wins at last. The boxpkns: are now open at The Bristol andAitken's Book Arcade. ;

EMPRESSTHEATRE.■ An innovation is introduced at the Em-press Theatre this week,and it is educa-tive as well as amusing. It is a picturedemonstrative of New Zealand's industries,and a surprisingly large number of Do-minion processes are shown."

It is an unusual release,and takesthe onlooker for a trip to Auckland Zoo,to the northern gumfields, to a summercamp, to jam factories,mattress works,toffee factories,to the N.Z. Navy, to fur-niture and bootmaking buildings. Thereate some exquisite scenic effects,and theacting of the kiddies is especially good.The compilation of the picture has been inexpert hands,and the picture is followedwith interest*from to end. Itis worth a special visit to the EmpressTheatre., Supporting is a decidedly attrac-tive dramatic picture,"Ranger of the BigPines." Kenneth Harlan is starred,alongwith Helen Costello,who is in the roleof Virginia Weatherford. The majesty ofthe Rocky Mountains of Wyomingis equal-led only by. the majesty.- of. the theme,which is that of a proud man's capitula-tion to the charms of the daughter ofworthless.paints. Another: New Zealandpicture is thS showing the Auckland en-trants for the Miss 1927 contest in variousposes. The whole programme is rounded,.oft by orchestral selections by Miss Ed-iwards's Orchestra. .-"■■' ■

It deals with thestruggle between a girl who loves a youngsurgeon,who saved her from being ahelpless cripple, and the evil forcesof amagician. Although the story is good, thesetting and photography are better. Thecast, with the exception of one American,are chiefly Continental players. It is cer-tainly a production not to be missed. Inthe vaudeville section Donald Stuart, "thehigh and mighty magician," is distinctlyoriginal and clever. It is not so much thetricks that .he does as the way that he'loes them. His unceasing flow of patterana weird antics kept the audience lastnight m a state of great merriment. Thesupporting films and the -musical pro-gramme all helpto make a first-classenter-tainment.

A FINE EFFORT

y.U.C. DRAMATIC CLUBThe general habits of the 'Varsity stu-

dent, and his conduct in particular, hasbeen so much a matter of discussion oflute, and not in professional haunts atone,that any (serious, well-conducted effort bythat section of the community is pleasur-abiy noted. It is rather a pity tuereiorethat a larger audience' did not see "ToHave the Honour," a comedy by: A. A,Milne, produced last night in. the ConcertChamberby members of the Victoria Col-lege.Dramatic Club under the direction ofMrs. John Hannah. The caste of elevendid all that could reasonably be expectedof it, and while it is hard to make dis-tinctions, honours must go to Mr. A. D.Priestly and. Miss Mary Cooley. A goodimpersonation of any character can alwaysbe expected from Miss Cooley (Jennifer),andllr,Priestly was surprisingly able inthe part of the chamelon husband (PrinceMichael). The plot is lightbut effective,and concerns the sudden meeting in anEnglish villageof Mrs. James Bulger, acharming lady with a tendency—just atendency, no more—to avoirdupois, and'Prince Michael, ruler of ' a neat little"buffer" State "somewhere in Europe."Both titles successfully screen the correctname of Brown,husband and wife, late of-Hammersmith. When Michael left hisJennifer she thought a retired colonel'swidow (plus the "tendency") would makefor an easy entry into right society.- Soit did. When.Michael left his Jenniferhe invented Prince Michael as the meansof entry to his-chosen society.' And heentered; entered remarkably well. Sothey both' meet at Angela Battersby'sand because they are both quite attachedto each other really, Michael,uses , theuntoward situations which arise there tobring him back to Jennifer—doubting,longingJennifer,who welcomes him gladlyiv the end.-

But. this brief sketch of a humorousthree acts should make some mention of.Miss Margaret 'Watson,who as hostessAngela did some clever work in an easybut most effective manner, of Miss RosaBullen (Mrs. Faithful), Miss Edna Pur-die (Imogen), Mr. R. E. Pope (CaptainRobert Holt), Miss Zena Jupp (EthelHolt),and Mr. R. J. Mayne (Dr. Ainslie),who all acted the parts of diverse guestswith ability and word perfection. Mr. D.Edwards made the most of the small partof Simon Battersby, as did Mr. A. Watsonas Oliver, a character quite indispensibleto the,plot, and. Miss Dorothy Hadfleldas a parlourmaid._ What the audience lacked in numbersit made up for in enthusiasm,and antici-pations are for a better house to-night.The overture was played by the CollegeOrchestra,a worthybaud of instrumental-ists, who also delivered the commendablyshort waits between the acts.

PLUNKET SOCIETYAMERICAN EULOGY

In Great Britain as well as in theDommwns of the Empire the Plunketsystem for the welfare of mother andchild has in recent years been steadilyextending, A proof that its value isb coming increasingly recognised in theUnited States is shown by an artielopublished ia the "Sunday News" ofNew York, of 27th March, headed "TwoEaces,New Zealanders and Jews, HeadWorld with Very Low Infantile Mortal-ity. The article says in part:The chief rabbi attending theFourth Congress onMaternity and ChildWelfare m London, on .sth July, 192G,made the following statement:Throughout the history of the Jew-ish ra<Je the child has been consideredthe rock upon which the uuiversovests."

His explanation for the fact that in-fant mortality among Jews is usuallyhalf of that of the general population,and less than half of that of the poorerclasses,was mainly that the Jewishmothers nurse their babies; the farm-ing out of babies and the use of pat-ent foods is practically unknown. Hetold also of the extensive work car-ried on for mothers and orphans amongthe people of the Jewish faith.The Jews were not the onlypeople'atthis meeting who boasted,and justly,about what they had done. The NewZealanders had a few kind words forthemselves.

Mothers iv New Zealand come widerthe Pluuket nursing service, and. theNew Zealand delegates said Sir TrubyKing should be rated with Pasteur as

I a public benefactor.Many of us remember when TrubyKing came to see us a little morethan ten years ago. At that time hetold us they had a baby death rato offifty (that is 5 per cent.), and he left

us that as amark to shoot at. <

Well, many of us have hit that marksince T)r. King set us the task. But,the New Zealanders have not been'■ asleep at the switch" in the mean-time. Their infantile morality .hasfallen to oiily-3.9 per cent, and in Dun-edin not a single baby died from infan-tile diarrhoea in two successive years.Further, the babies are kept in almostperfect health, all over New Zealand.Not one baby death from diarrhoea,in the course of two years, leaves usstill something to shoot at '

HUTT POWER BOARD

The monthlymeeting of the Hutt Val-ley Electric Power Board was held" onThursday. Mr.A. J. Hobbs presided.

Mr. S.Blackley reported that complaintsof low voltage on the Akatarawa line hadbeen made-to him. The engineer explain-ed that this was due to insufficientcopperin the'wiring.

Mr. E. Windley complained about theefficiency of the water heaters, and itwas pointed out that this was due tofaults in the thermostatieal connections.The Wellington Racing Club asked fora reduction m its annual charge. Theclub had originally entered into an un-written agreement with the board to pur-chase annually current to the value of£175., At the club's request this amountwas reduced to £150. A special line hadbeen constructed for the club's supply,but fifteendwelling-houseswere now beingsupplied off that line. ' :

It was decided to ask the engineer toreport how much power th« fifteenhouses■were using, and how much the board wassupplying compared with the amount ithad guaranteed to supply, and the cost ofinstallation.

Mr. W. Press said that complaints hadbeen made to him that the board wastreating its clients in an unreasonablygenerousmanner. Somepersons were sup-posed to havepaid their deposits, but nottheir instalments,and had not been billedfor them. With the object of determining.whether or not this was so he moved,andit was decided,that the secretary furnisha full report to next meeting;

A BELATED MONUMENT

It is surprising to find that inApril the memory of another of theworld's greatest poets—possibly thethird on the class listl—was beinghonoured as well as Shakespeare's,that the Shakespeare week at Strat-ford-on-Avon was matched by aVirgil week at Mantua, and that thetwo overlapped and almost coincid-ed. On the 21st April, amid a learn-ed and patriotic concourse which in-cluded the?'Magnifici Rettori" of allthe Universities of Italy and repre-sentatives of Oxford and Cambridgeand other foreign seats of learning, amonument to Virgil was unveiled atMantua bySignor Fedele, theItalianMinister of Education, and a week'sfestivities followed. April 23 isfixed as Stratford-on-Avon's greatanniversary by Shakespeare's birth-day. Why was Virgil cutting in onthis occasion two days before? Theexplanation is given by die Milancorrespondent of"The Times" in anarticle in which local colour, hu-mour, and scholarship are happilyblended.

The first question I asked in Man-tuawas; he writes: "Why a monumentto Virgil ir. 1927V No special anniver-sary, such as a centenary, falls thisyear. The Mantuans admit this, andexplain that the monument about to beunveiled should have been erectedforty-six years ago. Tho story of thedelay is almost as interesting aa thatof the monument itself.

A delay of forty-six years is noinconsiderable item, even where thememory of a poet who has been deadfor centuries is concerned, but it isactually fifty years since the projectwas put in hand which has now beenrealised. It was in 1877 that a com-mittee of leading citizens was form-ed in Mantua for the purpose ofcelebrating in 1881 the nineteenthcentenary of a poet who died in B.C.19. The committee had big ideasand planned a scheme of interna-tional proportions.

It jiskea Tennyson to write a poemfor the occasion, and set about collect-ing funds for a great monument. Un-fortunately when JBBJ came the poemwaa6 ready but not the funds. Themonument therefore could not bo patup for the centenary year.But the committee stuck bravely toits joh year after year, filled upfrom time to time the gaps whichdeathsand resignations made in itsranks, and having succeeded morethan a generation after the original!due date in collecting about 300,000!lire, considered that.it was time tostart. Then came the Oreat War,which presumably, left the committeewith little to do beyond filling the■

more frequent vacancies now occur-ring in its membership. The GreatWar was followed by the GreatSlump. The bottom fell out of thelire. The fund which had previouslybeen worth about £12,000 droppedtoabout £3000,and the committee hadto make a fresh start. It now spreadits lists abroad, and we are toldthat the Delegates to the GenevaConference of 1922 were canvassed,but the results are not reported. Letus hope that this appeal was moresuccessful than that to the Universi-ties. Brussels and Grenoblepaid 100lire—about £1 each—and this wasapparently £1 more than Oxford orCambridge or any other Universitywas able to afford.

Timephased, say's "Tho Times" corre-spondent, but finally tho money vpasfound and tho perseverance of tho com-mitteo was at last rewarded. Thoeffort had taken nearly half a century.Tantae molis orat ...His last words sire a happy allusionto one of Virgil's great lines:—

So mighty was the tasje to found theRoman racs.The unveiling in 1927 of the

monument which was projected in1877, and is now almost as near tothe twentieth centenary of the poet'sdeath as to the nineteenth, is ex-plained by this amusing yet patheticstory. But why 21st April? Thatpartof the chronology js much moreeasily explained. April 21 is theday dedicated to the celebration ofthe birth of Rome. There was no-body to note the date in the days ofRomulus and Remus, and this selec-tion, is doubtlessabout as well basedas that by which the theologians ofan earlier day identified the Ist Sep-tember,B.C. 4004, as the date of thecreation of the world. But after se-lecting the1 21st April as the birth-day of Rome there was no room leftfor doubting the propriety of asso-ciating the same date with the mem-ory ofVirgil,

"Virgil, gays "The Times" correspon-dent, among ajl Latin poets, was thpone who possessed most profoundly thesense of the origins of Homo,and whomost nobly knqw how to render it.This isreally B gross understatementNot only among all Latin poets butamong »\\ thp poets of the worldVirgil is the one whb possessed mostprofoundly the sense of the originsof a great city, a great nation, and agreat Empire, and who most noblyrendered it, and the centre of it allwas Rome. The glory of Rome wasthe inspiration oi Virgil, and hebecame in turn perhaps the greatestof her glories, transcending all therest in scope and quality. "RomanVirgil" are appropriately the open-ing words of Tennyson's great poemin which that unlucky Mantuan com-mittee obtained forty-six years agoa monument to their poet more dur-able than the bronze of the statuethey have npw erected in his honour:

Jfoinan Virgil, tfiou that singestIlion's lofty temples robed in fire,Ilion falling, Borne arising,

Wars) and filial faith, and Dido'spyre.

The beauty, the critical exactness,and the Virgilian quality of Tenny-son's verses must surely give them aplace very near, the top among the

tributes paid by one great poet toanother. Mr. Mackail describesthem asmaguificont lines . . . which ure atonco tho finest and amplest accountever given of the profound and lnajes-tio quality of tho Aeneid, the fullestacknowledgment of his own lifelongdevotion to Virgil, and tho nearest ap-proach made by any modern poet to thesplendour of the Virgilian verse.This must be our excuse for thelength of a further quotation:—Landscape-lover, lord of language

more than ho that sang 'the Worksand Days,

All the chosen coin of fancyflashing ont from many a goldenphrase;

Thou that singest wheat and woodland,tilth and vineyard, hive and horseand herd;All the charm of all tho Musesoften flowering in a lonely word;. t * * "Thou that seost UniversalNature moved by Universal mind;Thou majestic in thy sadness

TOPICS OF THE DAY

.. According to Mr. E. W. Gibbs, Act-ing-manager of the Bank of New Zea-land, the onlyalternative to a "demandlor repayment of a considerable volumeof advances" was for the banks toraise the price of money. This theydid, by * per cent, on 9th' May last.Obviously if the banks are receivingless by way of^deposits they have lessto lend byway of advances; therefore,,to conserve what money they had cheymade it dearer. The public expectedthe chairman of the Bank of New Zea-land io make gome reference to thismatter, and ho' took the opportunityofdoing so yesterday. What has beensaid, and ; sometimes freely andforcibly, is that the Bank of New Zea-land having done so well, as the reportand balance-sheet showed, it mighthave refrained from raising its rates.Although the bank is the biggest inNew Zealand, it is but one ofsix banks engaged in business in theDominion. Good management andlarge turnover account for its success-ful year. But it is a moot point whe-ther, in the present circumstances ofthe Dominion, theright timo was chosen

.by-the banks as a whole to raise therates. However, it is reasonable tohope that these rates are but tempor-ary, for .with better returns from ex-ports and conservative importing, ad-vanceswill-contract ana deposits shouldexpand and money become correspond-ingly easier. The Dominion has won-derful recuperative powers, - for itproduces what all the world wants.With a stable wool market, probablyimproved'prices for meat, 1 ana freerand keener competition for dairy pro-duce, the prospects for the 1927-28 ex-port season can be safely regarded asfair. No bank worthy of tho/namocan for long conduct its business onthe principle of Tom Tiddler's ground,and choap money has often proved »curse in disguise: At the same time,if the improvement in trade returnswhich is now apparent in the figuresrecently furnished by the Customs andpublished in "Th-e Post" is maintained,the monetary situation of the Dominionshould become easior in the near futurewith lower rates ruling for overdraftsand similar accommodation. "

Though the Government must ac-cept some part of tho blame for failureto.legislate on the licensing isSUO lastsession, the greater responsibility mustHo at tho door of tho extremists oncither side. Tho Licensing Bill did notappear until late in tho session. Itshould have been brought down earlier;but when it did come the receptiongiven to it provided an excuse for fur-ther postponing a task which mostGovernment? are only top willing toescape. Wo do not suggest that thepill as introduced should have beenpassed; but it provided a frameworkwithin which Members could fit whatthey preferred. Licensing is a non-party matter, and, while it is alwayspreferable that the Government shouldgive the Bouse a lead,.Members arofrod to accept, amend,or.reject as thayplease. What is essential is that theopportunity to legislate should'bo pro-vided. When that opportunity is givenit is for the Members of the House todecide the, issue. It ja an issue, aboveall others, in which tho House shouldondeayour to interpret and give effectto public opinion. In announcing theabandonment of the Bill last year theMinister of Finance referred to thegreat difficulty of legislating "in theabsence of any agreement between theorganised bodies of public opinion,''and hoped that negotiation "betweenthe parties mainly interested" mightbe successfullyresorted to during therecess. We protested at the time that"thp parties mainly interested" whomthe Minister had in mind had beentoo long considered,and the partywhich should be most considered (thepublic) had been Ignored. -Extremists(either for abolition or no change) haveeffecsuajly blocked by their quarrelsthe sensible reform of the licensedliquor'traffic,.: This suits the contend-ing parties very well. The stand-patopponents of all reform are satisfied,and the Prohibition leaders say:: "Be-form is impossible,"'though they will"not attempt it. But it iB not fair tothe great body of public opinion. Par-liament, will again be asked to dealwith the licensing law in the comingsession. It is to bo hoped that thenthose of moderate views will insist thatextreme opinion, however much it maystonewall or block tho business,shailnot be allowed to carry, tho day.

A. new proposal ia made for preserv-ing some part of the fabric of the oldBoltpn Street Chapel. Sufficientfundsfor complete restoration and mainten-ance have not been obtained,and it isnow suggested that the buildingshouldbo takon down and part of tho timberused in the erection of a lych-gate,This could be dedicated to the pioneerclergy who officiated and tho settlerswho -worshipped in pld St. Paul's, Thisproposal has much to spmnjend it. It

is argued by some that much of thechapel has no Teal claim to venerationon account of age—that the old is over-laid and hidden by tho new. More-over, it is contended that not being ontho original site, nor in its originalform, the chapel itself is not truly anhistoric building. Neither can itsclaim to preservation be supported onthe ground oi- boauty or architecturalmerit. Whatever it may possess in thisrespect it owc3 to its surroundings.

* " "If the sessional promise of theLabour Party is to be judged on theOpposition Leader's pre-sessionalspeech, it is plain that little construc-tive aia is to bo expected from thatquarter. Mr. Holland opens with theassertion that last session was a blankinsofar as fulfilment of the Govern-ments election promises was concern-ed. Tho slightest acquaintance withthe session's record should disprovesuch a sweeping assertion. While itmay.be contended that the-Governmentdid not do air that, was hoped, creditshould be given for the progress thatwas made. But it is when Mr. Hollandoutlines Labour's policy for the sessionthat his weakness is revealed. It is apolicy of negation—criticism of thePrime Minister's attitude affecting co-operative marketing and unemploy-ment, with no.hint of the practicalmeasures necessary to deal with eitherproblem; .and uncompromising opposi-tion to the Singapore Base contribu-tion. Uncompromising opposition, how-ever, will not keep the"trade routesclear if Britain is attacked, and whatwould Labour do then? Behind . thesure shield of the British Navy Labourmay indulgeîn peace resolutions and"uncompromising opposition",to everyform of defence; but that is a cheaptypo of idealism. Iflabour refuses tocontribute to the cost of Naval Defencethe iParty should show that it has otherplans for assuring security apart frompeace resolutions which an enemywoulddisregard and the protection of shipsand bases which other people pay for.

Wages By Cheque.The Council of the-Wellington Cham-ber pf Commerce had.before it at itsmeeting last week a suggestion from amember that a system of paying wagesby cheques would be advantageous andwould assist greatly in eliminating therisk of defalcations as had recentlybeen instanced where wagessheets hadbeen manipulated. The Truck Actpassed in 1891,and since consolidatedin the Wages Protection and Contract-ors' Liens Act of 1908,provided that

wages must bo paid in coin of theRealm or bank notes, and since this wasthe case, the council did not considerthat an amendment of the Act in thisconnection wns practicable.Compulsory Military Training.

Compulsory military camp traininghas recently been the subject of dis-cussion by the Council of thoWellington Chamber of Commerce. Thopoints reviewed were the dis-abilities suffered by employers inbeing compelled to pay wages, such asin .the caso of apprentices, but especi-ally if undergoing additional camptraining as a penalty for not having tit-tended evening or half-day paradeswhich ordinarily would come out of anemployee's time and not out of cm, em-ployer's time. The New Zealand Em-ployers' Federation, which had beencommunicated with on the matter, stat-ed it had pursued efforts for relief dur-ing tho past four years, and had beensuccessfulin securing payment by thoDefence Department amounting to 4«per day, but so far had been unsuccess-ful in obtaining the right for employersto deduct. Tho federation was makingfurther representations to the Govern-ment on the matter.Lyttelton Perry Service. .

The council recognised, thatthe turbine steamers must withdraw inturn for overhaul,but decided to makerepresentations to the shipping com-pany urging that their overhaul shouldbe expedited, that the disabilities suf-Sb/ *he *raveliing public mightbereduced to the minimum period.

CORRESPONDENCECOMMUNISTIC STATE

(To the Editor.)Sir,—How far have we advanced to-

wards Communism in New Zealand,andhow much farther do we intend to go inthat direction? Communism, as we understand it, is the system which claims "to nutr'Ylu v pnvate ownership and estab-lish the absorption of all proprietary rightsor the State for the common good. Itclaims the rigltt of the State to controlproduction, distribution and consumptionand an equitable division of labour Woalready have in New Zealand a fairamount of interference by the State inindustry and commerce, namely, buttercontrol, meat boards,fire and life insur-ance, railroads and other transport, eveubus routes, while considering the advisa-bil ty of State banks, State controlledhotels, and other State institutions. Atthe same time the Government is allegedlystrongly opposed to Communism,a sys-tem of State control.■While-we admit that the State'does andcan control certain public services andutiht.es, we know that the machineryof a State department, with its bonds ofred tape, etc., is too cumbersome and un-wieldy to properly control an ordinaryinteiest of ownership, is lost, and successin team work and enterprise cannot accrueas time goeson.It appears, then, that we are not ad-vancing under the present system, and theWHfv f°y Id s.e"OUSJy consider the advisa-ce^th t lne °f of any buêi* ex-cept the business of government, leavingprivate.enterprise to do the rest. Privateênterprise nowadays and in the future isnot the individual trader or the partner-ship concern, but the jointstock complyof large or small dimensionsIn the writer's opinion the joint stockcompanyor corporation will successfullycontrol the production,distribution, financ-ing and marketing of th^s country's goodsand services in the.future. Large corporations combines,or trusts are the con-trolling elements in industry even to-day,?w 5? iu}are Vll "?« WVter. strides inthat direction. The joint stock concernenjoyg manyprivileges that individuals donot enjoy and no one within reason isdebarred from holdingone or more sharesin tms torm of corporation, so that thegreat majority are entitled to. share inthe efforts of production, and the profitsHfP fefiVeltur-e at int<*vals during thelife of-the business.The duty pf the Government, then, isImiTk^Tl,^ of B°vemmentandlook, to the stabilising and improving ofthe commercial laws-of this country" par-ticu arly companylaws upon which jointstock companies are founded. There isplenty of room for improvement in thisdirection, and the time is ripe, over-ripeat this moment. Industry is hampered bythe heavy companytaxation, and" in thisdirection also a revision of the TaxationAct will help both primary and secondarymdustres,so-called. , -If the Government will make it a busi-ness to look after these- things and leavethe business in its real sense to thosewho understapd.it, New Zealand will bethat much better off, nnd a good deal fur-ther away from the much-dreaded Com-munsstic state,—l am, etc,

GIRLS IN OFFICES(To the Editor.)

Sir,—ln your issue of the 9th Juno ap-pear a few words from employers inOhnstehurchregarding girls in officesAllI can say is these employers are verylucky, and I have been otherwise. Ninetyper cent, of the girls I. have employedhave always wanted five to ten minutesto take their hats off, and the same toput them on. They.would all die if theyaw not have their morning and afternoontea, and. of course they- must have quitea number o| powdering* during,the day.I found that if they wanted ft book down,oue of the men had to get it for themThey s lmply gaid; -'Oh. »o; we 'JKlift that about," In fact, I was almostemploying a boy solely to get things forthem, so that, the dear things would not

jeTtOrget UP *r°w their seats. In theend I found, by paying a man a good

wage,I could'get rid of 2VSgirls, allowtlie man put to see a man about a dog"and still get more work done. Ope manStates: They never lean across the coun-ter to talk sport." No, they may not:but they make up for that by the timethey waste talking inside the officeabouttheir conquests of the night before Inmy opinion girls ore half the trouble ofunemployment these days. Their employ-ers and themselves were in the forefrontat. waving flags when the men left totightfor.them, but when these men cameback crippled, the poor beggars are shutout of a light job by these nelf-game flag-wavers. Of course, we know there aresome girls who must work to keep theuome going, and who deserve all theyearn; but how many have parents earn-ing enough to keep them at home instendof letting them go to these offices,get thepay, and put it "all on their backs"?Inese are the girls that 'are usurping theplace of men apd causing a lot of theunemployment, and the sooner peoplewoke up to these facts the better An-other sentence in the article states: "Itis far more likely to be a young,newly-married man ■to blame." If a man getsaway with any money, it is generally thetault of his marrying a girl who has been■working in oue of these pffices, gettingher pounds * week md putting it al)out on clothes,and who expects to be asgaily dressed as »he wag before gettingmarried.

BIBLE IN SCHOOLS(To the Editor.)

Sir,—I was surprised to read in "ThePost" on 15th June,the statement madeby the Rev. J. M'Caw. "It seemed extra-ordinary that while ,bpys arid girls in thesecondary Bohools had religious instructionin a way, and while the Bible was put intoprison cells,it should not be allowed inprimary schools," Surely, sir, there isabsolutely no parallel between a child inour State school,with Sunday schools andchurches with open doors all around him,and a man confinedto his cell jnprison!The Bible is in almost every home in theland. ,

When living in Australia my boy wastaughttheBible in school,and Ihad to helphim unlearn some of the errors taughthim. I was told of a child that wasthreatened with the stick fox expressinghis views on a certain Bible subject. InAustralia it is no longer the Bible beingread,but it is cow being taught by vari-ous ministers. In a certain town in NewSouth Wales we were conducting a mis-sion. Ope morning a minister, whengiving his Bible lesson in the State school,so far exceeded his duty as to warn thechildren assembled not to attend our niis-sionl That was teaching intoleration ofother sects, which spirit, if developed,would lead to persecution.

No other spirit in this world has evershown the bitterness and hatred andcruelty that the spirit of bigotry liasshown,and,no other bigotry has evershown the fiendishness and hate that re-ligious .bigotry has shown. Spmmcd upjn a few words,religious bigotry meauadenying to others therights and privilegeswe ourselves enjoy. Only the other d*y I

heard with my own ears the minister o£apopular church offering to fight a fellowminister because,he differed in doctrine,ihe man acted like one demented Ibegan to reason with myself, and wonder-ed how that man could teach the Gpgpelof Jesus Christ. I stepped into his ser-vice on the following Sunday night, andthe error I heard was appalling. I «t,

,■', ,are men of this spirit to teach mychildrenrThistory repeats itself. Let us take

warningfrom the experiences of the pastWhenever the State has taughtreligion,sooner or later intolerance and persecu-tion have resulted. The Bibfe should betaught in the home and in the churches !not :n the State schools. Keep theChurchand State separate.-*! am etc

I feel that some protest shouldbe made at the action of the club's execu-tive, as J. am sure it is not voicing theopinion of the general body of motorists,ihe motorist agreed to pay 30s for a five-mile road—he has got twenty-six miles in-stead for the same money: He is nowasked to find another 10s or so per year toget another thirteen miles.

STATE CONTROLITS APPLICATION TO

RAILWAYS

COSTLY LUXURY

(By Taxpayer.)In the days of my political youth

—many, many years ,go—l ,hornhave laughed to scorn such a "tatementas the one made by the president ofthe Canadian Pacific Bailway Companya little while ago in » communicationto one of the business magazine* ot himown country. The slogan of my Soc-■ialjst friends-the nationalisation ofthe meansof production, transportation,and exchango-nad seemed to me thevery foundation of just »nd effectivelegislation and administration. Wide"experience and closer observation',however, havesatisfied me that, humanre+?emg Wh^ Stfa» aßd politicianwhat they are, it U only inâre in-stances, and m exceptional circum-stances, that the publi£ can be v wellw?Qf"f *? °/iin?ry activities of lifeby StateÊnterprise"as it can be by"Private Enterprise." In the publteutihty swviees, so to speak, the Postand Telegraph DepartmenOhe LifeVu I'It Illsurttnc« Departments, andhePubhcTruat Department are theonly exceptions W this general rule thatcome readily to mind.* The BailwaVDepartment probabjy would be includedin this.list of exceptions by many ob-servers, simply because the meaii oftransportation must not be left to thewhim of individuals and .companies;but the experience of older countrieslias shown that mth adequate safe-guards this service may be left safelyto private enterprise. . '

A LESSON FBOH CANADA. .'..In this connection it may be helpfulto examine for a moment what is han-penmgin Canada. The Canadian Paci-on nnn -7 CoffiPany °w»s and operate*20,000roiles of track across the Domin-ion of Canada. The Canadian Govern-ment owns and operates 22,000milee oftrac< (the National Bailways of Can-ada) across the same wide stretch ofterritory between the Atlantic andthe Pacific Oceans. These two rail-roads are competitors for the teuw-continental and for, miich of tnc localtransportation business of- the Domin-ion. " Theyboth are operated tor thebasic purpose of making a,profit fortheir owners, The Canadian Pacific Jrpnvately owned by its BhareholAen;the Natwnal System is pnbUcly ownedbythe taxpayer* of the Dominion; Thestatement of the presidentof the Cana-dian Pacific Baifway Company, whichI have just mentioned,4eajg with theoutcome of the competition betweenthese two great undertakings.

The Canadian Pacific (it run*) i*the largest taxpayer in Canada.Thus, the. greater the deficit of th«National Bailways, the greater thetax-burden on the Canadian PacificOn_the other hand, if the NationalRailways prosper by the diversion oftraffic from the Canadian Pacific,the CanadianPacific's loss will begreater than the taxes would havebeen, Again, the greater the '-Can*.■a«tt'.Pacific's profits, the greaterwill be >ts taxes,sad hence the largerits contribution to it« rival. Thepublic enterprise gets the privateenterprise comingand going.Throughthe power of taxation, to meet thecost of government, private enter-prise, private- industry,.and privatethrift are compelled tp pay for pub-he enterprise/public deficit, pnbiiamismanagement,ami publicextrava-gance. it- ■

And notwithstanding all.this, the Cana.dian Pacific is regularly paying divi-dends to its shareholders while.the Na-tional System is as regularly declaring■deficits,".-"; ■ ; . *

EVADING RESPQNSIBiiITY.There is no very cjose resembjanetfbetween the railway positionin Canadaand the railway position, in New Zea-land; but here, in spite if the absent

v /°fPe^J,qa Pom a»y r»v»» system,deficit ls.followwgupon'deficit with de-pressing regularity. Sines the financialyear 1920-21rwith the eingle exceptipaof the year 1923-24,the espendituwiba#exceeded the receipt*, and the yearjust closed will show a deficit of overhalf & million. Changes pf manage-ment and changes pf methods have-tablowed .upon one another with almost be-wildering frequency, »nd yet none of.t]iem seems to 1 have stayed the down-ward tendency. A couple pf yearnago the authorities conceived the idesof charging the losses on the non-pay,ing branch lines to the Consolidated

-Fund, and Parliament, probpbly with-out understanding what thewhole busi-ness ©cant, meekly passed a large slietof the troubles of the msn«gement onto the shoulders of the taxpayew, grertand small, without regard to their abil-ity to pay. In the first Year the tax—>as the "subsidy" as well" may b«called—amoauted to 16359,545,in thesecond to £445,222. andj with the rail-way authorities relieved of responsibil-ity,is not likely to develop a downwardtrend in the near future. These nou'payijig lines are heritage from toimtrgenerßtjonsof politicians, and the pre,sent Government, at any rate, if notresponsible fpr the straits into whichthey hays fallen; but there still ar«on the list of railways authomed byParliament « number of lines whichinevitably would fell into the samecategory werp the present Government,or any succeeding ■ Government duringthe next twenty years, foolish enoughto prpceed with their construction.

HAW WAT.If the sale of the State railways is atoo startling proppsition for the Dom-inion to entertain at the present time,Parliament at least might take poms

steps, apart from the appointment ofCommissions"and the preparation of! reports, towards the construction of ascheme of management that would eli-minate the importunate politician, re-strain the aggressive, deputation, mnifortify the beseiged Minister of th«Department. The :appointment of *highly qualified board,, free from win*istcrial control and with the fullpowers and responsibilities possessedby the management] of a privately,owned railway system, would be along stop towards placing the lines oaan efficient anda jnpney-earningbasis.

BROADCASTING FROM 2YA

_vAt a meeting of the council of thoWellingtonChamber of Commerce a re-port was submitted from the PublicityCommittee of the, Chamber stating itwas taking steps to discuss with re-presentatives of the shipping, motor,and accommodation interests the sug-gestion of the Minister in Charge ofPublicity that local committees mightbe formed in various centres to re-ceive and assist tourists.

Thecommittee also recommended thatapersonal canvass by members of busi-ness firms shouldbe made during Octo-ber for the purpose of augmenting theWellington Publicity Fund, the pur-,p<me of which was to further the in-terests of the Capital City and to seethat its importance as' a commercial andtenrist centre received due recognition'in every quarter of the globe.Toe council approved of these recom-mendations, also of a suggestion thatthe Minister in Charge of Publicity beasked to take advantage of the oppor-tunity offering when the new Welling-ton broadcasting station (2TA) vopened to deliver a publicity addressby,. wireless, This station, <' it wasunderstood, would be the second largestin the world, and an address sent out'from Wellington should,serve the pur-poses of Dominion publicity very large-ly, especially in Australia, which isabout 1J hours' difference in timefrom that of New Zealand.

OBITUARY

MR. L F, AYSONOnly-ft-few weeks after his retire-

ment, Mr. L. F. .Ayson, until recentlyChief Inspector of Fisheries, who liasbeen in failing health for some time,died last night.

The late Mr. Ayson was oneto whomboth the anglers of the Dominion" andthe Government which he served for 28years are greatly indebted for the ex-cellent angling which has helped toadvertiso New Zealand, and for the es-tablishment of Quinnat and Atlanticsalmon. Mr. Ayson's interest in fishwas inherited from his father, a keenangler, and it was in the offorts madeto acclimatise. trout in Otago, in whichhe. assisted, that the late Mr. Aysonfirst becamo actively interested inpisciculture. In 1885 he was appointedto the position of Supervisor of theMasterton Hatchery by the WellingtonAcclimatisation Society, a positionwhich he held for fifteen years; consid-erably assisting other societies,as theywere formed, in the lay-out of hatcher-ies and by his advice. When in 1899be was appointed Chief Inspector ofGovernment Fisheries, he turned hisattention to marine fishes also, and al-most immediately commenced the at-tempt* to acclimatise salmon whichunder his direction proved so success-ful. His system wwj to eoncentratoon one river, in the assumption thatwhen that was stocked the fish would

spread naturally to others, and it isdue to this system, initiated in 1899,that imccess has been,secured. Mr.Ayson, besides the acclimatisation' ofAtlantic sajinon and Quinnat salmon,had devoted attention to the artificialextension-of th,e rock-oysterbeds of theNorth, and his work in the Bay ofIslands in this' direction proved mostsuccessful. ( .

Although he had a vast amount oftravelling, often during the night, soas to be able to utilise the day hours,yet Mr. Ayube found time for studyjnboth marine and fresh-waterpiscicul-ture, and though, as a pioneer in suchstudies as related to New Zealand hewas faced with tremendous obstaclesin the absence of records on which towork, on his retirement he had ac-cumulated a vast amount of informa-tion which it had been his intention toincorporate in the form of a book. Hehad travelled extensively outside NewZealand in the course of investigationsregarding salmon,having visited Ame-rica several times, England severaltimes, and Europe. Indefatigable andkeenly enthusiastic in all pertainingto his work, the late Mr. Ayson did notspare himself, and as his work took himout in all weathers, and most of it wasdone in the coldest part of the winter,the physical strain was immense.

Mrs. Ayson predeoeased her husbandfourteen years ago. There aro sixsons, Messrs. W. D. Ayson (Wanganul),C. L. Ayson (Hakataramea), IJ. p.Ayson (Commissioner of the CookIslands, Barotonga), G. D. Ayson (Wel-lington),L. D. Ayson (Masterton), andF. C.Ayspn (Wellington).

or otherwise this would certainly havobeen the effect.■ Sir Austen Chamberlain succeeded inwatering down the motion to commend-ing the valuable report for the consider-ation of the Governments.

INDIAN REFORMS

THE VICEROY'S VETO

PROTEST IN PARLIAMENT

GOVEKN3IENT'S DEFENCE(United Press Association.—Copyright.) *

(Eeceived 18th June, 10.30 a.m.)LONDON, 17th June.

During the consideration of the Indiaestimates in the House of Commons,Mr. Lansbury (Labour) moved to re-duce the India Office vole for the ex-tension of Indian reforms. He pro-tested against the detention of Indianain'prisons without trial, and said thatmembers, of the Labour Party wereoften accused of beiug unpatrioticmerely because they wanted to giveIndians an opportunityof saying wheth-er they wished to belong to the Com-monwealth of British Nations. He believed it was possible to do with

India what hadbeen done withSouth Africa andAustralia.

Earl Winterton, Under-Secre-tary of State forIndia, replying toMr. Lansbury,said that therestrictions onIndian legisla-tures were exag-gerated,, and theViceroy 'n vetowas very rarelyused. The constitutional machine wasworking more smoothly than was thecase last year, and the Government isnow collecting information as to itsworking and the possibilities of im-

provement, which will be used by theCommission which must be' establishedin 1029.The reduction was defeated by 173votes to ,45.

POLITICAL SWING-OVERMISSIONARY'S IMPRESSIONSThe Rev, J. L. Griay, a, missionary of

the New Zealand Presbyterian Church,who for the last five v_ears has beenIworking in >the Punjab, NorthernIndia, and is justnow on furlough inthe ■Dominion, :visiting various centresin the interests of this work ana inconnection with the missionary cam-paigif that is being conducted through-out the country, spoke very interesting-ly to a "Post" representative this'morning on the work of the Presby-terian Church of Now Zealand 111-India and on the present political posi-tion in this tho greatest of Britain'saependencies. Of particular interestis whathe had to saywith regard to thepolitical swing-over at tho last elec-tions, the adoption of more constitu-tional methods by the Hindu Nation-alist movement, and tho constant ten-sion between the two great religioussections of the population, the Hindusand the Moslems.

MISSION WORK._ "Medical, educational,.1 and evangel*istic work is being carried out by th«Now Zealand Presbyterian. Church inseveral- centres amongst the three-quarters of a million peoplo in thePunjab," stated Mr. Gray. "Most ofthese people ore agriculturists. Thyfield the Presbyterian Church has chos-en is a thoußand\miles north of Bom-bay, and consequently tbero'arc greatextremes of heat in summer, when thethermometer usually registers 115 de-greesin the shade. Tho work of thomission has grown greatly in the lastfew yoars, and is now at a most inter-esting stage, mainly owing to tho re.markablo movement towards Christian-ity on tho part of the great outcast-population of the district. This com.munity movement of these ■ outcastpeoples is affecting many missionarysocieties in India, and in the past tento fifteen yoars probably a million, ofthem have joined tho ChristianChurch. This outcast section numbers50 million personß in India, who byHindu Jaw aro outside the pnlo ofcusto.

"Both within Hinduism nnd Moham-medanism thero havo been several- re- 'form movements aiming at the uplift of itheso people,but thoy soem to bo turn-ing more and more towards Christian-ity, an they find in that the truo motivefor any permanent botterment. ThoGovernmentlias done a great deal fortho outcasts,,but up to the present tho,iron-shod heel of Hindu social customhas kept thorn in the dust. Many grave

iproblems—social, economic,and spirit-ual—have to bo faced beforo their lotcan bo improved.DREADFUL POVERTY.

"Ono fact of spocial interest and mi.portance in regard to missionary effortfor uplifting these peoplo is tho dread-ful poverty in which tboy live, Hin-duism compelling them to be non-pro-ductivo and to be the scavengersandthe labourers of tho country. Tho NowZealandPresbyterian Oburch in its mis-sion work there hopes to bo able todo something along industrial lines fortheso people, teaching simple vjllagotrades to tho younger generation sothat they may become of economicvalue as producers, and no rise fromthe real slavery in which Hindu so-ciety has kept them for over two thou-sand years. All the best and most pro-gressive of the Indian Nationalists re-alise that this brand of untouehabilityis a real blot on the national aspira-tions of India. But disinterested effortsfor the social and spiritual uplift ofthis submerged sixth of India's popu-lation havo so far amongst non-Chris-tians not many enthusiastic followers.

WHAT INDIA WANTS."With regard to the definite desires

of;India for Bolf-government, a leadingIndian lawyer and patriot recently saidin a public, utterance that he couldsummarise these demands in the follow-ing four points:—(l) India wantsequality of rights for members of thesame Empire; (2) she wants self-gpy.eminent like that of the Dominions; (3)she wants a national militia and a veryreal part in her own national defence;and (4) equality of treatment for hernationals in the colonies.

"The British Government in Indiaand at Home is gradually moving inseveral of these directions; but the at-titude adopted by several of the colo-nies has greatly complicated things,and made India suspicious of the-good-will of Britain, Many of the.Domin-ions, as parts of'our Empire, are justand fair, and wo of New Zealand areproud of tho attitude of our Dominionto the Indian members of the BritishEmpire. At the Imperial Conferencesome years ago it was decided thatwe should have the right to excludeHindus from New Zealand on condi-tion that they had tho right to excludeour people from India. If such a fairattitude were to bo found in all partsof the Empire, much of tho presentsuspicion and ground pf complaintwould bo entirely removed.

THE SWING-OVER."The last election results from India

show a decided reaction from tho ox>treme Swaraj; or Home-Bule Party—from the policy, of destruction-to moth-

ods of more constitutional government.A new party has developed, known asthe. Eesponsivist Party, which, thoughstill more the less critical-of the Gov-ernment, will take the place of a legiti-mate Opposition .Party. This swuig-over to more constitutional methods isseen both in the Legislative Assembly,whero the Swarajs1 have lost nine seats,and in the Provincial Councils; and itis a decided step forward on the partof Indian political opinion. The late-policy of destruction was taking Indianowhere, and this constructive policywill find its response in amore generousattxtude on the part of British opinion,me position is to be revised in 1929,and theso election results are a proofto Britain of the trend.of the best ofIndian national opinion.

INDIA'S OPEN SORE."To those who know India, there isone matter which causes the gravestconcern and raises doubts as to thentness of the masses of the people forself-government at the present stage,

■this is the division between tho twogreat sections of the population, theHindus and the Moslems. There are70 million Moslems am 280 millionHindus in India, and these communi-ties are ever,at each other's throats,ihis antagonism is, of course, histori-cal; and it would seem as if no com-n-on basis of agreement can be found,ierriblo outbreaks of violence occuratevery sacred festival; and mvcv of thetime of the officials in India is takenup with maintaining aforced peace be-tween these two communities. Whatwill be the end of it all no one cantell; but all lovers of India are agreedthat not until this open sore is healedwill India rise to that place of great-ness which is her right.

THE CRICKET TOURMATCH ABANDONEDRAIN AT LEICESTER

1, Snary two for 28, Smith three for41, and Armstrong one for 20.

CORRESPONDENTS' VIEWS_ In expressing agreement with Mr. W.8. Brjce's opinions about the value ofexperience against England's bestplayers, a correspondent ("T.P.")states:—"l have in my possession acutting from.1 the 'Daily Mail,' of the6th.May, 1926,in which the followingappears: 'The M.C.C. advises the countyclubs to place their strongest teams inthe field against the Australians as acourtesy to our guests.'""Be Fair" draws attention to thefact that some of the leading playersin England maybe requiring rest aftertheir strenuous county games, and inthe _absence of an official statement re-garding the omission of some well-known players from the county teamsagainst the New Zealanders the needof a spell may be accepted as the rea-son. The correspondent statejj that theAustralians had the same experience. Itis suggested, also, that perhaps theBoard of Control has in mind the stag,ing of a Test or two before the tourconcludes,and that the leading playersmight appear in those matches. At thopresent time, however, there is no like-lihood of Tests being played. Th» pro-graromo, as arranged, will keep-the NewZealanders fully occupied until theirtime of departure from England.

COUNTY PALATINEVISIT TO DURHAM

(By "Not Out.")Before meeting any more of thefirst-class counties tho New Zealandcricketers will have.a series of minor

matches,several of which will be inScotland. To-day they »re due to makean appearance against Durham, utSundcrland, and they will be meetingthe representative of the county pala-tino at Cheßter-le-Streot, where exten»sivo alterations have been made hotho ground. The match will bo of twodays' duration.

Durham is tho champion minor coun-ty, tho second-class competition beingwon very convincingly last season.Tho county's splendidrecord was large-ly due to tho fact that it had little oc-casion to cop and change the players.Durham went through the season with-out a defeat, and six of its matcheswere won outright. Tho batting stand-ard was much higher than in tho pre-vious season, and it was moro consist-ent. The bowline department, waggreatlystrengthened by the inclusion oftwo recently qualified professionals, A.L. Ho well (brother of the' Warwick-shire fast bowler) and J. Cook, whileanother professional in J. Carr wasagain of great service with the ballas well as with the bat. T. K. Dobsonwas a useful all-rounder, andM. Nioholand L. H.

(A.P.A. and "Sun.")LONDON, 16th June.

In the House of Lords Viscount Eli-bank moved a motion urging the Gov-ernment to reconsider the abolition ofthe Overseas Trade Department, ex-pressing the opinion that a majorityof foreign traders favoured the reten-tion of this most useful Department,which cost only 1per cent,of England'soverseas trade.

Lord Arnold, in supporting the mo-tion, said the only place where realeconomies could be made was in regardto armaments.

Lord Salisbury said the Governmentfully realised the usefulness of the Do-partment,but must economise and couldnot recede from its Budget policy.Earl Beauchamp, speaking in supportof the Government, said the value ofthe Department would be increased,notdecreased,by the amalgamation withthe Board of Trade.

AS IMPETUS TO TRADE(United Press Association.—Copyright.)

(Received 18th June, 9 a.m.)WASHINGTON, 17th June.

The impetus to transoceanic flyiugfurnished by the Lindberg and Cham-berlin flights is expected soon to leadto a new American movement for trans-Atlantic dirigible lines, in which groupprominent bankers and industrialistsare interested. Plans for. the-develop-ment of such a service are also likelyto be hastened on account of the rapidprogress in foreign countries, particu-larly in Britain and Germany, both ofwhich have laid the groundwork forpassengerand freight lines.

The American groupinterested is thesame which negotiated with the Gov.eminent in 1925 for the.lease,of thedirigible Los Angeles for commercialpurposes, which plan was temporarilyupset by the Shenandoah'scrash.

THE EVENING POST, SATURDAY. JUNE 18, 19279

COMING SESSIONIMPORTANT ISSUES

A HEAVY PROGRAMME

OUTLINE OF THE WORK

"I-look forward ■with confidencetoa busy and useful session," declared

'the Prime Minister at the conclusionof his recent outline of the programmeof legislation for the coming session.

f The indications certainly point tothe' session being a busy one, butwhether it will prove to be useful willdepend upon the way members of theLegislature discharge their duties.' The session -will open on Thursdaynext, but the Speech of.His Excellency. the Governor-Generalwill probably be

: interesting not for what it will con-tain but for. what it will not contain.

■Oneof the issues which will undoubt-edly come before the House of Eepre-sentatives will be the action of th-

';Dairy Control Board in institutingab-solute control of the export of dairyproduce and then having' to retrace its- steps as the result of what happenedinTooley street. Dairy control, in fact,is in for a "washingup," and it is pos-sible that Mr. Holland may allude to

;.this subject in;., a want-of-confidenceamendment. Should he do so Reformcircles do not anticipate ihat ho will

.command any voting support from the' Governmentside of, the House, eventhough there are Kefonhers who maystill believe in the merits of absolutecontrol; in other words,partydisciplinewill be sufficient to keep everybody"on sideJ" -

TABHT REVISION.Oneof the principal legislative works

-of the session wil be tho revision ofthe CustomsTariff which, as is alwaysthe case, will be a long arid arduousprocess. Protectionists, Free Traders,and advocates of purely revenue-produc-ing tariffs are all active, and it is cer-tain that a fierce battle will.be wagedon points where farming and local

"manufacturing interests converge,especially as the farmers have not alto-gether a kindly eye on high Customs: barriers. The farming interests in the

' House are very strong. A Tariff Com-mission has been making inquiries dur-ing the recess to ascertain where ad-justments may be effected, and its re-port will soon, be in the hands of theGovernment. Whatever intentions the

■ Governmentmay have of completingthe overhaul of the Tariff this session,there is some talk of a petition being

■presented asking that revision be post-poned until a Eoyal Commissionhas in-vestigatedthe probableeeonoTiiic effectsof any Tariff change.

Interwoven with the question of Cus-toms tariff is the welfare of the sec-ondary; industries generally, and it islikely that legislation will be present-ed proposing means for . the develop-ment of essential secondary industries.

FINANCE FOB FARMERS.Another question of vital importance

which will have to be dealt with thissession is that of providing financeforfarmers on.a more extensive scale thanis at present available. This matterhas been raised in Parliament on manyoccasions,and as the result of urgentrepresentations the Eural Credits Com-mission was appointed in 1925. TheCommissionmade detailed inquiries in

\Squth America, the United States,andthe Continent, and presented a val-uable report to the Governmenton itsreturn before last session. Some of"the Commission'srecommendations Weregiven legislative form in the Rural Ad-vances Act, but it -has been urged thatthe Act does not go far enough and

' will hot adequately meet the' situa-tion. The Prime Minister has statedthat what is wanted is a go-betweenfor the mortgagee and the mortgagor,and as he has also intimated that pro-posalswill be submitted to give effect to

'further recommendations of the EuralCredits Commissionit is assumed thatsteps will be taken to set up local ad-visory committees to assist in the. loan

l operations of farmers and to exercise\some supervision over the securities.

CONTENTIOUS MATTEBS.A Licensing Bill is expected to figure

on this session's programme,but it isnot yet clear whether it will bo thesame measure as that introduced lastyear.- That Bill, it will be recalled,pro-vided for extending the time betweenpoila from three to six years if theelectors so decided. While such apro-posal may meet the wishes of the Trade,it by no means satisfies the Prohibi-tionists, who, moreover, are anxious to

■ see the middle, or State Control, issue■ eliminated from the ballot-paper. The

Prime Minister,, therefore,is faced withthe interesting problem of how he canframe a Bill which will meet with theapproval of two strongly opposed fac-tions. The task is not easy,but then,Licensing Bills are left to the free voteof the House. ■ . "

■

The question of Keligious Exercisesin Schoolsis to be revived this session.Last year, the Hon. L. M. Isitt's Billwas narrowly defeated in the Legisla-tive Council,and since then deaths,onenew appointment, and the return ofseveral Councillors to the Dominionhave somewhat altered the position.The terms of appointmentof six Coun-cillors will expire within a few days,butît is generally thought that they■will be reappointed, and another newappointment made, although this lastpoint is not certain. The attitude whichthe Legislative Council will assume toa Bible-inSchools Bill this session maybe doubtful, but it is practically as-sured that there is a majority of mem-bers of the Lower House in favour ofsuch a measure, and it is within thebounds of possibility that a Bill drawnon the lines of Mr. Isitt's measure maymake its first appearance this session inthe House instead of in the Council.

DAYLIGHT SAVING.Last session Mr. T. K. Sidey's Sum-

y mertime (Daylight-saving) Bill was de-feated on the casting vote of theSpeaker c* the Legislative Council.Mr.Sidey will probablyfeel himselfin dutybound to introduce his pet lamb againthis year, but during the recess theFarmers' Unions have been wagingwaragainst the principle,. it contains witha view of persuading members of Par-liament that it should be shorn of bothits good and its bad points this ses-sion and unceremoniously slaughtered.If it comes forward again this will beanother contentious subject.

Somemonths ago there was a contro-versy concerning the principles onwhich the Prisons Board works withrespect to the release of prisoners, andit may be revived when Parliamentmeets. Something may be heard, too,concerning one or two appointmentsin the Public Service which have beenthe subjects of public discussion.

Gaming matters will probably comebefore the House by the introduction" of a private member's Bill proposingthe legalisingof the publicationof divi-dends, the telegraphing of bets to thecourse, arid the nse of the"doubletote." : The Government, it is under-stood, is prepared to afford facilitiesfor consideration of such a Bill.'

■ Followingon the report of thtj Bound-ary Commissioners, a good deal maybe expected to be heard on the ques-tion of South Island representation inthe House,and an endeavour made toinduce the Government to provide

against the loss of further seats. Thesystem of voting in local electionswhich was found to be so unsatisfac-tory in manyxases this year may alsoeoine under review.

Parliament will be asked to ratifythe Government's proposal for the avo-cation of £1,000,000 to the cost ofthe Singapore naval base,and althoughthe Labour Opposition will perhapschallenge this expenditure the Govern-ment entertains no fear "of the result.

There undoubtedly will be no endof criticism of the arbitration sys-tem, especially in regard to the ques-tion of preference to unionists. TheGovernment will bring down certainamendments to the Act.

An attempt will be made to improvethe Apprentices Act and j, Bill will bebrought down to give final shape tothe Government's desires with regardto the Agricultural College on whichacompromise was made last session be-cause of South Island fears regardingthe status of Lincoln College. It ishoped that ill difficulties will be sur-mounted this session.

The House w.ill be asked to alterthe present duties on flour, providingfor a sliding scale of duties, so fixedthat the rate of duty will increasewhen the price outside New Zealandfalls, and decrease when world pricesincrease. This will be the prelude to.tho abolition of dumpingduties on im-ported flour. .

TAXATION INCIDENCE..Legislation may also be introduced

dealing with tho incidence of taxation,but in view of the state of the coun-try's financesand the need for preserv-ing them from undue strain a reduc-tion in tax assessments is improbable.

" To reduce the heavy rate burden forthe maintenance of roads proposalswillbe made designed to make the users ofthe roads assume a greater share ofthe burden. The petrol tax lias its ad-vocates—and its opponents, too.

It is also probable that a Bill will besubmitted as a consequence of thereport of the Committee of Inquirywhich reported adversely on the opera-tions of theProprietary Articles TradeAssociation.

Other Bills contemplated deal witheducation,fertilisers, rabbits, and nox-ous weeds, seeds, shops and offices,shipping and' seamen, apiaries, chem-ists, mining, and a number of othermatters.

Eemembering that the Prime Minis-ter himself stated'in 1925 that he hadn't glittering'programme to offer, no"window dressing" items, and thatlast. session saw the passageof thechief planks of his legislative platformfor this "Parliament, it will be admit-ted that the Government programmefor this year, while not spectacular,will, with the addition of other thingsnot included in the official schedule,servo to keep the tide of political in-terest flowing high.

ATTITUDE OF LABOUR

EEFORM AND LIQUOR.TRADE

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)WESTPOET, 17th June.In the course of a pre-sessional ad-dress at Seddonville last, evening, Mr.

H. E. Holland, Leader of the Opposi-tion, predicted that tho forthcomingsession would be the most interestingof the present Parliament, inasmuch asit would test whether the Governmentintended to make any serious endea-vour to honour the promises which werelavishly given in the 192*5 election cam-,paign.Last session was a blank in ibisrespect. Personally, he did not expectthat there would be' any great differencethis year. He intimated that the Op-position would challenge the Govern-ment's policy as reflected in the PrimeMinister's attitude affecting the co-op-erative marketing of the Dominion'sprimary products and the problem ofunemployment.An uncompromisingOp-position would also opposo tho Singa-pore Base contribution.

Mr. Holland devoted a good deal oftime to criticism of the Governmentforits failure to carry out the necessarypublicworks, and their lethargy in thematter of coal and timber importations.

Ho expressed the opinion that be-cause there were sharp divisions inthe ranks of the Eeform Party thePrime Minister would not find it pos-sible to live up to his pre-election pro-mises to the Liquor Trade. Mr. Coates'sdifficulty was that while ho had com-mitted himself in one direction, manymembers of the party had pledgedthemselves in the opposite way. Thiswas. undoubtedly the reason why theLicensing Bill was jettisoned last ses-sion. In the event of tho Bill beingre-introduced this year Mr. Hollandsaid the Opposition would endeavourto secure an amendment providing forvoting in order of preference whilethere were more than two issues onthe ballot paper. This would ensurean absolute majority decision.

ROYAL COMMISSIONS

COMMERCIAL PERSONNEL

The subject of personnel of Commis-sions set up by the Governmentto in-vestigate and report on commercial mat-ters was before ameeting of the coun-cil of the "Wellington Chamberof Com-merce, and emphasis was laid on tlionecessity for these Commissionsto beconstituted from men actively engagedin commerce, and with a full knowledgeof the conditions affecting trade.-It was decided to forward the follow-ing resolution to the Government:—

"That this chamber recommends tothe Government that in future whensetting up a Commissionto inquire in-to any matter or matters affecting thecommerce of New Zealand:—

(1) Such Commission should bocomposed of three or five, but on noaccount an even number of persons.

(2) The chairman should be aJudge of the Supreme Court or aMagistrate.

(3) That members of such' Com-mission apart from the chairman,be

/ men well versed in commercial mat-ters. .'. (4) No Civil Servant should be amember thereof unless the matters tobe inquired;into are technical."

A LEAK STOPPEDAPPLE GUARANTEE

STATE'S LOSS LAST YEAR

A BETTER OUTLOOKConsidering that Governmental" economy" is in the air, and. thatthere is even some talk of raisingthe incomo tax, it is good news to

hear that this year the State willnot be called on to find moneyun-der the apple export guarantee toanythinglike the amount paid outlast year, & 82,619. (

In fact, though nothing- official isavailable on the subject, it is under-stood that the Governmental expendi-ture under the head of the guaranteewill be quite small.

Last year was coal strike year in theUnited Kingdom. New Zealand andAustralian apples arrived at a bad time

,—bad for delivery and doubly bad forconsumers' purchasing power. TheBritish industrial paralysis gripped theyoung apple' export industry of thiscountry at a very critical stago of itsgrowth. The Dominion's .very bestseason for apple and pear productionturned out to be Britain's worst forbusiness and" buying. On the whole,the New Zealand Governmentwas luckyin getting out with a guarantee dis-bursement of £82,619.

AUSTRALIAN PESTS.'Last year these ovents figured muchin _tho Press; this year little has been

written. In this case, no news has beengood news, for the New Zealand appleshave had a successfulexport year. Butin Victoria there has been a lot inthe papers, for a local calamity (thethrips pest) has practically ruled thatState out of the apple harvest. Indeed,Australia generally has had an indif-ferent year from the point of view ofpests, which fact may to some extenthave helped the prices of New Zealandapples on the British market.

When it became known last yearthat the New Zealand apple crop was a"bumper" one, and would yield about700,000cases for export, speculationbe-came active as to whether the overseademand would maintain a level equalto the economic marketing of a cropwhich must increase more and more asorchards come into bearing. Anxietywas increased by the strike Conditionsreferred to. The results of this year

! therefore come as something of a tonic.The tendency of apple production to ex-pand is indicated by the fact thatthough much of the fruit, particularlyin.Hawkes Bay, was ruled out of theexportmarket through being marked byUail, the export this season is expect-ed to reach a figure not very muchloss than last year's; it is1-expected tototal 670,000cases, of which Britainshould' take 600,000, South America70,000.The degree of success attainedencouragesthe hope that New Zealandis building up such a position in over-seas markets as will make the export-able surplus profitable, and that theGovernment guarantee, which has beeninvaluable in establishing the finance ofapple export, will presently become un-necessary. When it is remembered thatapples account for about 75 per cent,of the 30,000acres of commercial or-chards in New Zealand, the importanceof giving the apple industry.asound legin external markets, as well as onein internal markets, is obvious.

LOCAL MARKET CONTROL.Mention, of tlie local market is a

reminder ; that the Fruit Control Actprovides for control of supplies to thelocal market, but apple-growers, con-sider that the votir.g requirement of thoAct—under which local control cannotbe set up save on a 60 por cent, voteof all thoso entitled to vote—is toostiff. They regard 60 per cent, as high,arid consider that the percentage shouldbe calculated on those who vote noton those entitled.If local control boards were set upthey would find plenary powers in the

Act, but it is recognised that controlis not a very popular word just now,and it has been suggested that any localcontrol board should undertake to ab-stain from exercising the full powers ofthe Act. In that caso, the board wouldbo known as much byits pledges to doas by its pledges not to do.

In some quarters it is considered thata local control board or boards shouldconcentrate on the standardisation offruit going into the local markets. Ifstandardisation means compulsory grad-ing, a complete insistence would evi-dently mqnn a largo and expensive in-spectorial staff; but it would bo a muchsimpler process to merely onforco aminimum quality,and by such means itis considered that the low grade fruitnow sent to market could be shut outwithout incurring any excessivo inspec-torial cost. Compulsory elimination ofall apples below, a certain grade, andvoluntary schemes of standardisationsupported by thoso growers who knowwhat grading means and who are pre-pared to take tho trouble, are put for-ward as.a Bafe line of compromise—astarting-point in the work of improvingmarketing.

If mention is made of the DairyBoard's setback, the fruit grower willprobably reply that the dairy control-lists attempted too much too quicklyand that butter and cheese,with theirstorage possibilities, are an altogetherdifferent proposition .to apples andpears.

SHEARING SHEDSWORKING CONDITIONS

COMPLAINTS TO MINISTER

DEPARTMENTS VIEWComplaintsin regard to tho accommo-

dation of shearers,and in. regard toother matters affecting members of thoNew Zealand Workers' Union, werevoiced by a deputation from that or-ganisation which waited on the Min-itser of Labour to-day.

Tho president of the union, Mr. C.E. Baldwin, said that tho Minister'spromise that an inspector would bosent through tho Hawkes Bay and Pov-erty Bay shearing districts had beenfulfilled, but thcro had" been no im-provement in conditions for tho work-ers. In North Canterbury 40 or 50 percent, of the threshing mill accommoda-tion wa3 not up to the requirements ofthe award. Time and again complaintshad been made to the Labour Depart-ment,, but without result. How was itho asked,that departmentalofficershadthe right to say they would take noaction, when clear breaches of awardswere being committed?The Departmentserved requirements for the fulfilmentof the Act upon tho employers, butnothing was done. He suggested thatif a few prosecutions were made theywduld serve as a warning, and the De-partment's work wouia be curtailed.Mr. J. Whyte made specific com-plaints in regard to : the condition ofshearers' accommodation in the Gis-borne district, and stated that on theaveragethe provision.made in the Pov-erty Bay district was far from satis-factory. They hopedthe Minister woulddo something to provide that all thresh-ing'mill workers should be safeguard-ed against accident, through provisionin the Worker^Compensation Act, whilethey were travelling from station tostation. ." ■ ' , ' ■ '

NATIVES' CONDITIONS.Mr. H. Maynard, a youngMaori, said

there was a mistaken idea that any oldthing would do for the Natives. Itwas not right, and ho did not see whythey should be expected" to live just alittle, better than dogs -Most of thoshed hands were women and,girls, andboth men and women were in manycases, bundled in together in the sleep-ing quarters. The Natives had attend-c-1 school and had learned a few things,and they expected,the same conditionsas the.pakeha expected. They wantedto live up,to the new standard that hadbeen taught them.

Mr. J. Townsend said that speakinggenerally the accommodation in theNorth Island had improved greatly,but the inspectors' instructions werenot carried out. , He reported in detailupon instances of inadequate and insani-tary washingand sleeping quarters. Thedeputation asked that there should beno discrimination between man andmaster when the law was being evaded.Discussing workers' compensationmatters, Mr. W. Wallaco said he'refer-red to the development,of sores throughinsufficient protection to workers atArapuni who were handling cement.He asked that special provision shouldbe made fofr such cases in the Workers'Compensation Act. '"

SETTLERS' DIFFICULTIES.The Minister (the Hon. G. J.

son) said he was pleased to hear theywere better satisfied with the condi-tions than they were last year. ,Anhonest attempt had been made,to putthings right: All station owners hadbeen asked to put their premises inorder whore required, and letters Hadbeen written to them whero complaintshad been found to be justified. vMr. Baldwin: "But they don't takoany notice of the Department."

Mr. Anderson said he would see thatfurther inspections were made this year.Taking into consideration the financialcondition of the country, he wanted topoint out that very many settlers wereup against it and in great difficulties.In sorno cases it might be necessarytodefer improvement works, but in everyinstance whero the Department advisedhim that owners were in a financialposition to mako improvements. theywould bo compelled to act. Mr. Ander-son said he was satisfied that tho De--1 -tment was functioning and doing atremendous amount of good both for thoemployers and employees. Ho admittedthat the Department did not prosecutein every case. Whero ho thought theroshould be prosecutions, however,actionwould bo taken, and he would try tohold the scale of justice as evenly aspossible between both sides. He wouldhavo tho complaintsin regard t' thresh-ing mill accommodation investigated,but ho would not order improvements tobe made in the middle of tho threshingseason, but in tho off season.

The Minister said ho was assured thatthe Maoris would not use the facilitiesthatwere provided for the pakeha, buthe would discuss the matter with MrNgata, Eastern Maori M.P. He quitoagreed that tho Maori had just sismuch right as the pakeha, and : wasequal with him before the law, but thecustoms of the two people were not thosame. Ho had had investigated thnquestion of compensation to those af-fectod by cement, and ho had beenadvised that it was not so much theeffect of the cement as tlie conditionof the men's health that caused dis-ease. He would confer with the Min-ister of Health in the matter. Simi-lar investigation was being made in re-gard to the effects of basic slag.Replying to a complaint that in somocases dogs wero drinking from streamsfrom which" shearers were expected totake drinkiifg water, tho Ministerstated emphatically that the Govern-ment Departments would not stand forsuch conditions, and that- where thatoccurred those responsible would be.prosecuted. Thero could be no defencefor such conditions,and any man whoexpected a Maori or anyone else todrink water that had been affectedbydogs was no human being. He prom-ised to look into tho complaint.

A BIRD MYSTERY

THE SHINING CUCKOO

HARBINGER OF SPRING

MIGRATION QUESTIONWith reference' to the paragraph

which appeared in "The Post" on Wed-nesday, stating that a shining cuckoo,known in tho North as pipiwharauroa,had been seen, and that the bird is amigratory one, wintering in Samoa1 andothers of the South SeaIslands,usuallyreturning to Now Zealand in the earlypart of the spring, it should be observedthat it has never been supposed thatthe shining cuckoo goesto Samoa,butto islands more to tho north-west—NewCaledonia,or New Guinea, or perhapsto Queensland. It is not, however,known absolutely for certain that thiscuckoo does leave New Zealand at all.It has never been seen going or coming,and the only reason for supposing thatit does leave New Zealand is that dur-ing certain parts of the year it is nei-theriseen nor heard.It is first heard toward the end of

September or the beginning of Octo-ber, and is not heard after, say, Feb-ruary or March, and it is supposedthat during the time that it is notheard it is not in New Zealand. Thenote referred to, however, shows thatit is seen in New Zealand occasionallyduring the months when it is supposedto be absent. In the chapter on thecuckoo £n Andersen's "Bird Song andNow Zealand Song Birds," several in-stances are noted of the birds having,been seen during the winter, as, forinstance, in 1920 birds were seen atHanmer on 25th April; at Tekoa,NorthAuckland, on the Ist and sth of June,and at Mahunoa, near the TararuaMountains,on the 11th July. If, 1 then,occasionally birds are able to winterhere and do so, why not many?AN AUSTRALIAN, SUGGESTION.In this connection it should be noted

that in a comprehensive work on Aus-tralian birds, whose issue has just beencompleted,. Mr. G. M. Mathews makesthe following observations in connec-tion with the shining cuckoo:—"l makea suggestion here which may seem butabsurd, but may lead to good results."As no specimens in quantitywhich canbo truly referred to lucidus have beenmet with outside New Zealand,the con-clusion would be that it did not mi-grate from the Dominion but that itremained there throughout the year.This means that the observers in NewiZealand must recommence their studiesand look for the species during themonths it is. silent. It is apparentfrom the records that its arrival hasbeen generally accepted by the hearingof its note, and its departure likewisecredited to its silence. . As birds havebeen met with later than usual I nowsuggest that the Neo Zealandic cuckoo(known as Lamprococcyx lucidus) isnot niigratory, but that it is a perman-ent resident in New Zealand, probablymaking internal movements accordingto the seasons."

LOCAL MIGRATION ,Quoting again from Mr. JohannesAndersen's book, he says:—"There islocal- migration from other birds, andother birds are silent during part of the

year. Months may pass without awarbler, fantail, or blight bird, for in-s.tance, being seen or heard about Wel-lington. , Then suddenly one or otherof them will appear, and may be seenor heard every day for an indefiniteperiod. It depends partly upon foodsupplies, partly upon moulting, andthere may be other reasons. Duringa greater part of the year, thrushesand blackbirds are most voluble, andmay be seen in great numbers aboutWellington, but for two months at atime, say, duringFebruary and Marchor into April, not a single bird may boseen or heard. There is this differ-ence, however, between tho Maori andthe naturalised birds: Tho former makecomparatively distant district migra-tions, but tWo latter keep close in thick-cted gullies quite near their usualhaunts. A faulty human observationoften attributes to birds' habits theydo not possess, even as on the otherhand birds possess habits that havebeen observed wrongly or have escapedobservation altogether."It is suggested by Mr. Andersen thatthe shining cuckoo may winter in un-frequented parts of New Zealand for-est, of which there arc still lar"areas. Certainly it has never beenseen leaving New Zealand ..or-arriving in New Zealand. Until thishas been seen (as has been seen, for in-stance, with the godwit) it cannot bereally said for certain that tho birddoes leavo New Zealand.

MORTGAGE BONDSFOR FARM OR HOMEWHAT INTEREST RATE?

SYDNEY'S URBAN PEIDE

At a time when the possibilitiesof financing farms and workers'liomes by means of mortgage bondissues is being explored by investi-gators in this country, it is worthwhile notingthat what is called the'' first mortgage bond issue in Aus-tralia" has been doubly subscrib-ed.This Australian ■ experiment, how-

ever, appears to contain little or no miformation for New Zealand, since themortgages were secured on a city pro-perty located on what is claimed to bethe finest site in Sydney, and the re-turn per cent, per annum is not £5 10s,but is estimated at £6 8s 6d. The cur-rency is twelve years. A .return ofnearly 6J per cent, secured for twelveyears on the pinnacle of Sydney cityvalues has little to do with areturn of5J per cent, in New Zealand on thesecurity of a farm or a worker's home.

OITYWABD DRIFT.In passing, though, it is wor,£h specu-

latingwhether the investors of Syd-ney, which has reaped the profits ofexcessive centralisation and urbandriff, would be as eager to put theirmoney on their own back country asthey are to lock it up in their cham-pion city sites. In New South Walesall roads lead to Sydney, and tradefollows communications. Attempts toopen up new lines of communication tonew ports have been resisted, on thewhole successfully—a reproach thatcannot be levelled at. New Zealand.The result is such confidencein Sydneysite values that the Australian invest-ing public applied twice over for a£250,000issue. This is said to be "thefirst time on record that a companyin-corporated in Englandhas made a largedebenture issue in Australia, solely toAustralian investors, and based solelyon a,seeurity in Australia."

The security is "a special mortgageupon, the company's properties in theheart of the-city of Sydney, valued at£976,000,"and the total issue is £500,----000,of which £250,000was reserved.The other £250,000has been allotted onthe following basis: Applications 'for£100to £300received £100;'applicationsfor £400 to £600received £200; applica-tions for £700 to £900received £300.

THE SMALL INVESTOR., It is interesting to note the amountsspecified in the applications. Therewere 104 applicants content with onedebenture (£100) each; 116 applicantsfor two; 65 for three; 90 for five; 83for ten. There were one 3application'for 1050,and one application for 1000.

Couldthe small investor in New Zea-land be attracted by first mortgagebonds secured on farms at 5J per cent.?Would he want 6 per cent.? Could hebe attracted at all? If not, could hebe drawnby a5J per cent, issue of firstmortgago bonds secured on workers'h^mes? ■: ' '/""''""It has been suggested that first mort-gage bonds could be issued on the se-curity of a block of land (with im-provement) to the amount of (say}£100,000. This £100,000 worth ofbonds could be sold in small units, theunit being (if necessary) smaller than£100. In the United States many mil-lion pounds worth of small units of abig collective-mortgage have been re-tailed to the public—to all classes ofinvestor. The collective mortgage is afirst charge on the lands and the housesconstructed thereon with the proceedsof tho mortgage.WHERE DOES THE STATE COME

NEW ZEALAND DINNERA DOMINION MENU

MR, AMERY FARE-WELLED

(United Press Association.—Copyright.)(Received 18th June, 2 p.m.)

LONDON, 17th June.Four hundred enthusiastic guests

were present,at the New Zealand an-nual dinner at the Mayfair Hotel, atwhich Sir James Parr presided. Mr.Leopold Amery, Secretary of State forthe Dominions, was the chief guest,among the others being Lord Jellicoe,brilliantlybemedalled, Sir George Cook,Sir James Mills, Lord Islington, Mr.Douglas Hay, the Bishop of London,Eail Liverpool, Mr. J. Huxam, Mr.Robert Bell, Mr. P. A. Brett, AdmiralBeal, GeneralSir B. Chaytor, GeneralSir W. Furse, Mr. Peter Larkin, Mr.Hyland, and many shipping, banking,and produce representatives. LordVestey and Mr. H. T. B. Drew werealso present.

The menu was outstandingly charac-teristic of the Dominion, and includedtoheroa soup, rainbow trout, sent byMr.-Coatesat the request of Sir JamesParr, Canterbury lamb, and passionfruit. A sensation was created by theappearance of an ice image of a kiwi.The floral decorations included pohu-takawa, native ferns, flax, rimu sap-lings, and nikau palms.

Sir James Par rbade Mr. Amery God-speed on his Dominions' visit; and in-vited him to essay Mount Cook. Mr.Amery'slegal and journalistic training,fortified by hi 3 military and politicalcareer, enabled him to soundly appreci-ate the Dominion temperament, andonly good could result from his Do-minion visit. Statesmen of such cal-ibre, as well as others interested,shouldfollow his example.

Mr. Amery, amid cheers and criesof "Kia Ora," saidr "An artist in icelast year thought that !those presentat the New Zealand dinner wouldbe flattered by an ice kangaroo, butto-night's artist was on safer groundwith a kiwi." The Imperial Confer-ence, he continued, demonstrated thatthe Empire was not an administrationgoverned from one centre, but a Com-monwealth under a common crown.

"A GREAT HEART."At intervals between the conferences

it was desirable that British Ministersshould go out and get into personaltouch with overseas colleagues, said Mr.Amery. This was particularly applic-able to the Secretary of State for theDominions,for which reason he-lookedforward with great pleasure to tis visitto. New Zealand. He recalled hisvisit there in 1913,and hoped to extendhis volunteering exploits, which werethen confined to Mount Eden. Hehoped to meet the colleagues' who werebuilding up New Zealand,which he con-sidered was a little nation with a greatheart. The Anzacs demonstrated this,as he had seen when visiting Russell'sPost (Galliopli) in the days when allhad deemed victory near. New Zea-:land's Sanioan administration was atrue exemplification of the mandate.

WARM-HEARTED WELCOME.,; The Bishop of Londpnijsaict it was'one!of the cheeriest dinners he had ever

attended,and he hoped it would makeall the other visitors go to New Zea-land. He referred to the glorious andwarm-hearted welcome 'he had received,specially at Christchurchj from /theMayor, who was a Baptist minister, aLabour member,and a jolly good fel-low, too. The Bishop said he neverfelt more at home than in New Zea-land, whose Archbishop and bishopswere the finest men he'had met in hisjourney round the world. It had beenreported that he said in a letter to"The-Times" that after seeing the Gov-ernor-General,the Prime Minister, andthe Labour Party in New Zealand,hehad formed the opinion that only tenthousand people could go to New Zea-land. He wished to make it clear thatthe Governor-General had never saidanything about migration.

| Sir James Parr interpolated a. fare-well toast to Sir Joseph Cook, who isreturning to Australia, and said hofelt sure all -would join in wishing himmany years of activity and usefulness.Larl Jellicoe, in proposing the healthof the chairman, assured him of thesympathy of every New Zealander incarrying out his important work.

(By Telegraph.)(Special to "The Evening Put.")

AUCKLAND, This Day.If the resolution passed at the annualmeeting is confirmed at the specialmeeting of shareholders on. 4thJuly, theold-established Queen street grocerybusiness of Smeeton's,Ltd., will go intovoluntary liquidation.

The chairman of directors, Mr. W.M. Commons,stated yesterday that theshareholders had decided upon liquida-tion for several reasons. The rentalhad become prohibitive and the samewas true of the wages fixed by the Ar-bitration Courtfor its employees. More-over, the business in. groceries hadbeen leaving Queen street for. some yearspast and the character of the trade hadchanged. The company's capital wasintact, but as there was no prospectwhatever of earning interest upon, itthe shareholders had resolved on wind-ing up. ,

Mr. Commonssaid that as there wasa large stock to be cleared the liquida-tion would take considerable time. Thelease had five years to run, and ef-forts would be made to dispose of it.The business was founded over 20years ago by Mr. H. M. Smceton, whodisposed of his interest some years ago.

TONGARIRO PARK

HEATHER AREAS

REPORT OF COMMITTEE

A meeting of the Tongariro NationalPark Board was held at ParliamentBuildings yesterday afternoon, thechairman (Mr. J. B. Thompson, Under-secretary for Lands) presiding.It was decided to recommend that

the Tongariro National.Part Act, 1922,be amended so as to permit of chargesbeing inSdo for the admission of per-sons and vehicles to the Park. Thefees,it was suggested, should be on thesame basis as those charged at the Eg-mont National Park.

An application by the Buapehu SkiClub for permission to erect a storo-room at Whakap'apa was granted.

Mr. B. 0. Aston presented the reportof the sub-committee (Mr. W. H. Field,M.P., Mr. Salt, and himself) appointedto examine anil report on the presentdistribution of the heather in the Park,and'demarcate the boundaries of someareas so as to form the basis for com-parison to determine whether the heath-er is spreading. He stated that in anarea where the heath, represented bymature plants and seedlings, was grow-ing abundantly at a spot 520ft abovethe National Park Railway Station aboundary was defined some 94ft long ata position oil the- margin of a heatherassociation.. the number of adultplantson one side of this line was verysmall, and there were no seedlings vis-ible. The locality waß situated on,a.flat, wet piece of ground, which natur-ally Was growing indigenousvegetation,Jndicaiive of wet, boggy soil, and theimported live heather was abundant.''It is hoped,"added the report,'' that

subsequent visits to this spot will en-able your, committee to determine* whe-ther on this type, of soil the importedheather is spreading in an aggressivemanner likely to. compete and occupythe place at present occupied by theindigenous vegetation,,which containssome beautiful flowering plants.. "On the.road to the Whakapapa andHaunted fWhare your committee inspect-ed many thriving patches of the intro-duced heather,but all were growinginsonidwhafcdamp, flat land. The trackto Mount .Ngauruhoe was next visited.Leaving the main road, the track ledmembers to the summit of asmall moun-tain,. Pukeonaki (401Sft above sea).On loaving the main road at a point350ft above the National Park. RailwayStation a fe\^ .isolated mature plants ofthe .tiny heather -Were seen on the track,but the soil' appeared.much drier thanwhere.the heather was abundant roundabout the Haunted Whare and Whafca-papa-nui Stream Main road, and it wasfnoticed, that there were no youngplants or.' seedlings. JPew other heatherplants were seen nntil near the sum:mit of Pukeonakj and near here severalmature plants were found, the product,according to. Mr. Salt, of seed sownnine years previously.,They,werefound,to'be. well established in a primitiveasßpeiation df what might be calledsnowgrass-dracbphyllum - heath. Theonly "exqtic other than this heather ob-^served was the eapeweed hypochaeris."Ifwill, be interesting to Puke-.onaki ftt future board meetings and en-deavour io form some opinion whether

.the introduced heather can compete atthis much higher, drier, and .colderhabitat with the natural vegetation totliq extent of damagingits phyaionomy.On the, actual summit of Pukeonakionly'one "mature plant of the! heatherwhs observed." , '

jMr...Troup: "1 thonght from thepap'pfs the heather was spreading allover the. place.".■ The Chair/man: "On, no; it is not sobad as that."

The report was adopted and the com-mittee; thanked for the work-, done.Donations to : the board's, funds ■bythe Ohakuncand Eaetihi Dramatic So-cieties' were acknowledgedwith thanks.: A letter was .received from the Tara-rua Tramping Club suggesting that ingranting permission to clubs to erecthuts'in the Park-it should bo made aConditionthat such huts should be pro-vided with emergency rations, and thatthe doors be left unlocked. .

AN INJURED KNEE

COMPENSATION' CLAIMED

Another Compensation' case camo be-fore the Arbitration Court yesterdaywhen Bobert John Clarke made aclaim against the Wellington Harbour'Board for injuries alleged to havebeensustained in July last 'whilst■"'workingoil the King's Wharf. On the Benchwere; Mr. Justice Trazer and Messrs.W. Scott and A. L. Montoith. For theplaintiff, Mr. O. C. Mazengarb app'ear-er, Mr..C. H. Treadwell representingthe' defendant board. . ..

The plaintiff's ease was that, whilehe was loading, timber into a railwaytruck he fell a distance of three orfour feet,--injuring liis knee. Tho in-jury. became progressively worse, un-til -finally plaintiff had to goto theHospital, where .he... remained sixmonths. As a result of the injury hewas still incapacitated frpm Work.The statement' of defence*admittedthe ■employment of the plaintiff, butdenied the occurrence of, the accident.Alternatively, the defendants claimedthai, if the accident'happened, "theplaintiff's condition was brought aboutby continual drunkenness,culminatingin delirium tromeiis, whereby a trifling.injury wagaggravated.". A further de^fence was to the effect that the plain-tiff gave no notice' of the alleged acci-dent as required by tho Workers' Com-pensation Act, and that no action forthe recovery of>compensation was com-menced within six months.

Considerablemedical evidence wastendered by both sides, during thecourse of which it was stated that thesudden deprivation of alcohol, coupledwith the shock of an accident, mightbring about delirium tfemeiis in thecaso of a patient who had been usedto taking -a fair amount of drink butwho had not been on a drinking bout.. Thd Court expressed the opinion thatthere was somo doubt about tho medic-al aspect of tho case, but unfortunate-ly for the plaintiff the legal aspect ofthe caso loft no alternative excopt toRive judgment for the defendants, asthe required notice of the accident hadriot been given within tho statutoryperiod.

OF INTEREST TO WOMENAbroad and At Home

THESCHEME OF THINGS(By M.H.C.)

; .; An interesting discussion took placei.at a recent conferenceof the Presby-'■terian Church,held in Dunediu. Tho

"Should Women be Admitted','as Office-bearers of the Church?" was

" brought forward by a member of thet'conference, who declared that the!i.ehureh was a straggler, and was wait-;■ ing till it was compelled to take tho■ step. An overture had been sent to!th« Presbytery to report for the next"Assembly. This overture was a mat-■;ter of some importance, asking that thS|;word ''male" should be deleted fromtthe Book of Order, which would then"read, "Elders may bs communicants.""The committee has considered the mat--'■■ ter, and while there had Dot beep any'enthusiasm on. the part of members,thecommittee had decided to recommend

lithe Presbytery to approve of the over-ji tore, provided that the matter was setjdown for General Assembly before it

the law of the church. _. The[speaker remarked that though there'.'.had not been any very outspoken dc-i sire for the change, he thought that/they, could riot, for equity and good■ order, "withhold from women the rightsto exercise officeif they -were, or could'ifce, elected by the congregation. Aspeaker declared that the Presbytery'should take the first and right step toilead the church into fuller activity. If■;gei.Trere tho only baragainst women, it. was high time the church revised its;ideas. On all local bodies women had.equal rights with men, and the church!was the only place where they were de-nied such rights. An amendment made

■an. effort to "side-track" tho matterby declaring'that the Presbytery dis-

approved of the recommendation be-cause the meaning was not clear; How-

!.ever, no one was able to support this;;n»tion, and the original motion was;;carriedby a large majority. Many wo-men in other churches will read of thismovement by the Presbyterian Church

-with inueh interest, as the church has.-been looked upon:, as somewhat conser-vative, and it is only of late years thatwomen have asked the question, "Why,exactly, are we debarred from any of-fice in churches?" If it is purely on

;account of sex the idea is not a niceone; specially when it is rememberedthat the large majority of men have alove and reverence for thejr mothers,and would deeply resent any .uripleas-

iant suggestions .regarding them, such;as obtained in tie early days of thei-Christian Church,when the true teach-ing of Christ had been overlaid withmany customs and ideas which' would

"have been most repugnant to Him. " r

Quite naturallySir Abe Bailey's de-claration that, ia his opinion,x womenshould not be permitted to take anykind of work that men could, or want-ed to perform, has raised some discus-sion. ' The best one could wish Sir AbeBailey, for the good of his soul, wouldbe that, when he departs this life, heshould be made to return in the form of,«],girl member of apoor family, devel-oping into the mother of another largepoor family. "That would learn him,"

"as -the boys say. In Christchurch theTmatter was spoken about at a:;meeting,;.andone asked if Sir Abe wanted boysto take on type-writing, which was theoccupation of so many shingledmisses,!.who. conducted the world's correspond-ence, but whose jobs led, as a rule, tonothingbetter, and would never makea Jiving, for a family, though theywere * great help, and provided formanya girl, who otherwise might have

;"to come on slender family resources."Mention was also made of tailoresses,Jwho could not easily be supplanted.What suggestions could the rash speakermake about them? Takingthe millions"of women whom there are no men tomatch, on the other side of the world,said one, "What was proposed for

Another pertinent question/was whether single women who worked'tax aged or infirm dependants did not"deserve as much sympathy and oppor-tunity' as the young man whoso family"is in such fortunate circumstances thatAc is able to spend the greater part ofJlis salary on 'cigarettes and cabarets?Finally, what about the young married=Woman who helps to pay off the home,which she and her husband have ven-tured upon, only the effortsof both could be available? There arejnsny snch cases, and many of]the mar-Tiages vaunted by Sir Abe Bailey, as soneewiary to the world of men, aremade possible, at the outset, by theexertions of the young women as wellai those of the men of the world. ItjSi"'a pity that Sir Abe cannot be in--dated to pnt forth a complete scheme'which.will provide for all fairly, andnot ona iex basis—if he. can. .X Th« antediluvian jokes about' womenAnd .hats,their fondnessfor them,.their«rtrav»ganee, and their, extraordinarytut* in the same, arewell known, buta B«w-reallya new-developmentin com-ment ha§ taken place. It has beenfound by a recent writer that "the"nbiqnitons felt hat has killed more fem-inine millineryto a very large extent,a»d now at least 90 out of every 100women are 'one-hat women.' " Thewriter, more in sorrow than in anger,finds "that they are not. even inter-ested in hats," and when their head

'coverings get too shabby to wear, theyring up a hatter and get him to reno-vate and reblock the old hat. Eemark-ablet And one wonders what . the'?one-hat' women do in the meantime?Then there « a wail- over the de. tred"feminine touch in beautiful (and'extra-,tagant) hats, and it is feared that themillinerytrade is to suffer, nay, it hassuffered badly in comparison with thepalmy times of twenty year 3 ago.Then cornea the little grandmotherlytouch, which women are so well accua-ientfd to, "The question arises whetherit i*'good' for women to go in foruniformity." Man may wear his Hor-n or "buns," or tweed caps, bythe million, bnt women need the tonici6r ' their nerves (medical authority.quoted) which is obtained by the ex-.citement. of trying on scores of hatsand buying one after an exciting after-noon. The only suitable- comment onill this is, "Well, well!"

- There aie likely to be fewer."gold-en'^ brides at London fashionablechurches when the season begins, saysto...writer in an)exchange. Nor willwhite satin be nsed to the extent thatit ,wa« last year, although "picture"wedding gowns are by no means 'outof favour. White moire and very softtaffetas have already been chosen bybrides, but the most popular combina-tion of all at the moment is white chif-fon and silver lace. Bridal processionsablaze with colour were the feature ofthe fashionable weddings of last year.This year there is likely to be a rever-sion .to white-robed -bridesmaids. Ifcolour is worn such shades as pastelblues and pinks, mauve and peryanchewill be chosen,for there was a.sugges-tion last year.that brides were ratherinclined to be overshadowed by a pro-cession of girls in lovelypicture frocksof brilliant colourings.

PARIS IN THE MIRRORFASHIONS AND FANCIES

(Written for "The Post" by"Germaiue.")

PAKIS, 20tl. April.April is prc-cminontly the month of

fashions and flowers. It is thespring! Most beautiful of all sea-sons, when women, like the flowers,thrill with the joy of life, and whenunder rouge-tinted complexions thereflows tho pink of a more generousblood;

when Nature is en fete, when .raimentis as delicate and radiant as the youngshoots and the first leaves. . . Parisien-nes, who have hitherto maintained apolicy of prudent reserve about theirsummer toilette, are now definitely put-ting aside their furs, and their iirsthalf-seasondresses, and taking .tolighter things, and bright and delicatecolours,like those so liberally employ-edby Nature when she paints her skies,woods,meadows and gardens.

The springtimo.brings us still morenew embroideries,which more and moredevelop the Oriental note dear LeonBaskst, and give to Parisiennes atouch of the exotic; wonderful strikingflowers,motifs, slightly Cubist in style,with fragments of mirror, spangles,large sequins, everything recalling theglitter of Oriental bazaars.. Feathersstill are much worn for trimming, butit is cut phort, and plays the role ofshaved lamb, and is tinted the sametone as the dress. '

With regard to the summer materials,there are some beautiful ones whichhave lately been'produced. One thatbids fair to rival kasha'in popularity iscalled hindikasha (half kasha and halfsilk), and falls as gracefully as crepede chine.

Every variation of brown finds placein the new materials. Tho other col-ours.that seem, destined to find favourare bright fuchsia and soft ■ almostgreen, together with violino and cycla-men, all handsome in liindikasbri. ItWould appear, also,that mixed brownsand greensmay hold their own for sum-mer coats and sports suits.

THE TEIUMPH OF THE SOCIETYLEADERS.

It is- only justice to "" tho recognisedleaders of society to any that they holdthe sceptre of fashion, ■and hold itfirmly. They combine their personalchaim with that of. the delightfulfrocks they wear. This year they arestill wearing crepe, either plain orprinted and muslinkasha (a. muslinquality of silk and kasha), chiffon,voile, and lace. Dresses are close-fit-ting, narrow, very straight, havingpro-nounced-lines, with very few excep-tions. Thewhole is. usuallyvery plain,the trimming being all below tho waist.They are also .wearing very now hats.One mightalmost suppose that the mod-istes; whom the dressmakers have al-

ways been inclined to relegate to thebackground, are trying to have theirrevenge; They are certainly surpass-ing themselves at present; some of thelatest hats are little masterpieces oforiginality and art—they are simply,"ducks of hats:" Many women arewearinganew hat called "Peti-t'Snob,"with ''battered"'.crown. It is seenat Auteuil, and everywhere'where thefashionable world congregates. Also ;

still noticeable, are the small "c.oche"hats, and the "poke" bonnet stylewhich is the Dernier Cri with-,theParis-ieiine.GEOMETRY IN THE HAUTE COU-

TUBE AND ,IN MILLINERY.' It seems that a thorough knowledge

of geometry has become ■ quite indis-pensable in the art o£ producing millin-ery,aa well as in the "Haute Couture."Tho art of "cut" which was once thesi .iplc adaptation of material to thenatural lines.of tho body is now trans-formed into a distinct and intricatemathematical science. If the iVcnchadage Lhnt runs "uno robe est une con-fidence, et quelquefois memo uno con-fession" is true, futuro generationswill jmlgethis generation to h.ivo beencomposed of a very ordinary crowd in-deed.

Tho "Little things" that count sire!the biggest factors in tho mode. Wemust examine our linings—the fac-ing: of our coats—tho direful mannerin which our sleeves nro set iii—thescams—tho collars—the clean finishthroughout. These so-called "s'de-tails " are the features which makefor our ultimate satisfaction, Watchthem scrupulously.THE PARISIENNE IN FULL EVEN-

ING REGALIA.In full evening regalia, tho rarisimine

shines resplendent. The era/.o for bend-ed gowns apparently has not nbttUul.The most brilliant effects are m-com-plisheil in crystals, brllliiint.s, pearlsand delicately coloured beads.

A woman of slemlei 1 figure, wearingono of these shimmering frocks, withbandeau or coronet of flowers tightlyclasping her shingled head,feet clad ingossamer stockings, mid gorgeouslybuckled slippers, presents a picture of.somo .princess out of fairyland.

Laces, embroideries,ami fringe ! areused by all of tho leading eouturieres.and they are introduced with almostconspicuous success in evening gowns.There seems to be a passion for lacethis season, and the eouturieres areshowing .some charming evening gownsthat are flounced'with lace, always incombination with silk of fine quality,and delicate chiffonsand tulles.

FASHION NOTES FROMLONDON

(Specially written for "Tho Post.")LOJsDOX, 2nd May.

I havo justbeen talking to a charm-ing woman who has recently been ap-pointed to the position, "FashionAdviser," in one of the big stores.Being thoroughly in agreement withher point of view, I must tol. you someof the maxims which she impresses onher clients.

Tbo best-dressed woman is the womanwhoso clothes you do not notice at all,or at least you notico no particular de-tails. Afl these shoi.ld bc!so perfectlyblended as to givo an effect of com-plete harmony.

The frock is only tho foundation, nndshould be muted to tho aecesHorics. Itis only a very few years ninuo tho drossitself was tho important thing. Now it

becomes a background upon which towork. Blended colours in hat, shoes,and hose,gloves and bag^.should createan ensemble in which the woman'sbest featuresare accentuated,bcr worstdisguised, and out of which her per-sonality emerges.It is usually the woman of thirty or

over who seekßthe help of tho "fash-ion' adviser," for tho younger.womanis apt to be justa shade too confidentin her style to permit criticism of herover elaborato frock or rakish hat.

On reviewing my impressions I rea-lised how well this lady herself hadjustified tho "fashion adviser," for al-though I had gonewith tho fixed inten-tion of observing her choico of dress,I fouud myself unable to recall a singleitem. The mental picture I had car-ried away was of her vivid face un-adorned with make up, flashing smile,andperfectly groomed head: Not evenan idea of tho colour of. her dress orshoes. .I think this explains why women

At the Embassy Club tho other even-iiigI saw a beautiful fair woman withhor debutante daughter, both wearingwhite ' chiffon evening dresses,and each looking lovely, although thedaughter had very dark hair. Ono of,onr loveliest young duchesses had ablack lace frock under her gorgeouschinchilla wrap, while another pictur-esque woman wore a clinging blackvelvet gown with a diamond shoulderstrap and fob pinned on the corsage.London is a veritable "Flow'er-land\' at tho moment, parks, kerb-stones, and florists' windows " allabloom, and every woman ono meets\" *h° morniaß is carryuig a bunch ofdaffodils, anemones, "or tulips—or theshyer primroses and violets. Onosimply cannot resist them.There is a now colour in hosiery andshoes which is as attractive as its name"Ashes of Lilac." This is really apretty greyisli mauve, and a realchange after the eternal beigo whichwomen persist in wearing in spito oftho superhuman efforts of tho designersto banish it.

Whilo talkingof floworsI am remind-ed that the natural flower button-holohas come into its own again.. For themoment the more sophisticated button-

hole of suedefelt or silk is rejected forthe fragrant'bunch of violets, the ex-otic white gardenias, and, of course,roses in every lovelycolour,particular-ly red to match the: cheery little redhats -which are' so popular at the mo-ment. ■. . " .: , ,

THE FAIRY RINGPELICAN PEOPLE

Someone has drawn a pelican for us,.iw I'll just have to tell you all I.incur«bout him.

More funny storiea havebeen writtenAbout Mr. and Mrs. Pelican and theirbig bills than I could ever tell you. Onceupon a time when the world wasyoung,the birds' all laughed whenever theysaw the Pelican P«ople coming..Every-one; laughed,,and they Laughed so hardthat the^r sides ached till they had tohold 'them. Old Jack, the Kookaburra,laughed-loudestof all, but he never didhave' any manners. Everyone laughed:except the fob. and the frogs. It wasa bad day for them when Mrs. Pelicanset.;put'to look for some tea. Now

-Mrs.Pelican used her pouch as a shop-ping basket, and when she set out in, the morning she could bring homeenough in her tag for tea for the wholefamily. And, besides,it served as apantry too... Of course everybodystoppedlaughing"when-theysaw what a fine fishing bas-ket.; Mrs. Pelican had, and they all feltVery small indeed.It'a' the funniest thing in the world

to watch the Pelican People at teatime, for each of the babies in turn justpops ,his.head into the pantry, andchooses a dainty morsel for himself.

/When the Pelican People go fishingitig aserious business. Sometimestheyall line ;upnear the edge of the Hake,then they start to swim across in alongline,fishing as theygo. If the fishingisgood, -when they reach the other bankthey all squat in the sun drying their"draggledly" -wet feathers.

.They have ever such a long,start onthe other fisherman birds. I expectyou'veheard of the oldest fishermanofaU, the Blue.Crane. He has to spendlong hours at his angling to get enoughfor his family'to eat for tea, and thenhe has to make a separate trip home tohis-nest every time he makes a catch,for he,has no market baglike the Peli-

;can People.■ .Thereare quite a lot of Pelican Folkin Victoria, Australia; tEey fish in thebigger lakes and lagoons in very wetseasons, but in dry years you do not

lor us by Alan Shaw, aged 10.

■ .vs'6e>.4hcin-'at;all. Where do -you-think■they'go to? They fly away,to distantlakes far inland or to the tiny, islands

>,out in Bass Straits, where they build'their nests. There are always plenty' of fish, for the babies there, and a Peli-

".;can.baby needs quite a lot for his tea,'I.can tell you. ■

Long ago there was a legend—that. looks a big word, but it just means a-fairy, story—that when' the Pelican;People disappearedtheywent awayinto

«the waterless desert to nest. So they: spoke:of ihat strange place called the"Dead "heat" of Australia as the land.'?iwhete;the:Pelican builds her nest."-fieally the Pelican Peoplearewater 10v-..-crs, and;never wander for from it, for.even. their ; great big baskets won'tcarry,all that much fish. :' 'Very^long ago also people,who sawthe. Pelican baby helping himself fromhis mother's fishbag thought that themother was feeding him on fter ownblood;"and so still another very queerfairy tale was made up about the Peli-can.

SWEETMAKERS.JToney toffee sounds good, doesn't it?Joyce saya it is,-anyway, and she

wants us td try her recipe.Here it is:—: One cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon but-'":' ter, li teaspoons vinegar, 1 tablespoon

\ "water, 1 tablespoon honey or treacle., -"Boil until a little thrown in coldwater:, sets. Pour into greased-dish.

—-Sentin by Joyce Kogers, Miramar.

A TRICK TO TRY.'.Here's a.way you can catch yourcHum. Just, try it. Ask him if he"would rather have twice five and

■twenty oranges or twice twenty-five..Hjß will probably say that he doesn'tmind :a bit because the one seemspretty much the same as the other tohim.

But he is wrong. You see, twicetwenty-five is fifty, but twice five andtwenty is only thirty...When you've explained this you'd

better not wait while he thinks it out.

HANGING GARDENS OFFLORENCEHow would .you like to plant yourgarden on your roof? Why, it would

be rather fun, wouldn't it . . .agarden with nothing to overshadow it,all open to the sun? But first we wouldhave to persuade our skies to remainalways gentle and warm as they do in-Florence. ,..In that very lovely,city many beau-tiful gardens are perched high on thehouse-tops, and the beauty of the build-ings is framed to make unforgettablopictures. .

": These hanging gardens are often in-visible from the street, as they are:mostly;made high up among'the-tiles.JTrom one of them, perhaps, beautifularchitecture and faint distant hillsidesare seen between a vine or'rose-trellis.To make or keep one of. these roofgardens, soil has to be carried up in-numerable stone steps, and such thingsas lemon trees, oleanders, and even thehumble squash need quite aweight of itto thrive.. Sometimes one sees quite maturetrees, such as cypress or pine, and■their dark foliage certainly contrastsbetter than anythingwith the pale goldand mulberry of the houses below, butthey are doubtless brought up to needthe least possible amount of earth,and do not attain any great stature.

OPEN EYES.'.One :'day, as I was on my way toiehpol,; a sparrow flew past me justoverhead. It had a large morsel ofcroirt. iit; its beak, and as it passed me(it . wag flying -low) it dropped thecrust,., which immediately fell to theground and hid behind a stone. Tin;bird.then flew to the ground, intendingto look for it, but after a little searchth«. sparrow flew away very much dis-gusted. ""■■;' '";, ". ; " Sent in byKathleen Cooke.

But how many of you know that someone ... someone calledGeorge Frampton . . . has made a statue ..-. .a little stone Peter Pan,standing, splendidly on his rock (do you remember the rock in thelagoon?) and piping his charms forever. It stands in a park wherechildren play, right in the heart of London . . . and the little stonerabbits and elves and rats listen enchanted to his music.

I?ll tell you a secret. Lots of Grown-ups love Peter, awfullythough of. course they wouldn't say.One has1 made a poem about him, though . .. "written at dusk inKensington Gardens . . ." So I've putit in the Ring foryou to see.; ■- ■ ...... Yours,

GAMES TO PLAY.A PARTY GAME.

Your sides will ache when you havefinished-playing this game. Do sug-gest;it at your party. Every one sitsround the room in acircle—on chairs oron the.floor, it doesn't matter which.

Then one of the players throws abalobn in the air. While the balloonis going up you must all laugh, butwhen it is coming down you must stop.And; any one who laughs when it iscoming, down is out," and you playon until only one—the winner—is left.

Of course, it's awfully hard to stopyourself laughing, especially after thegame is well started.'■. , A PLAYGROUND GAME.Any ;number of players can join in

this game, bo you ca.n play it in theplayground. All the players have tostand in a ring, folding their arms, ex-cept (One, and he has the ball. Theidea of■ the game is to throw it fromone to the other/and as soon as hehas thrown it, to cross his arms. Ofcourse, the player to whom it has beenthrown has to fling out his hands tocatch it, or it will drop to the ground,and if it does this, ho is out, so natur-ally he wants to avoid this if he can.So you see the game depends reallyupon how quickly you can fold and up-fold the' arms. And you play it untilthere is only one player left in thegame. ,

You'll thoroughly enjoy playing thisgame. Iknow. It is such a chancefrom the usual ball catchinggames.

JACK FROST.Jack Frost, the young scamp,While an elf holds a lamp,Paints pictures brightOnmy window .'at-night.He paints the gates of Fairyland.Inside dance fairies, liand in hand;There is the Queen's castle of goldGuarded by knights so bold.When the sun comes at break of day,Then my pictures fade away,For Jack's paintings only stayWhen sun has gone away.

Joyce DiiuiisonBrooklyn. (aged 11).(Joyce, it nearly wasn't good enoughto go.in . . . it was the first vereethat saved it. I like that. It's shortand crisp and "nice to say," though Iexpect the "lamp" only happened asa rhyme to "scamp," did it? All thesame, it's a picture. The lines in thesecond verse are longer ... Didyou mean them to bet- .. ■ . . with anodd sort of line at the end. Say thatverse, beating the time, and listen.Then the last verse does not say verymuch at all, does it? It seems justrhymes to me. And the last two linessay what the first two lines do, onlythat it's "put" differently. Joyce,more please. And remember thatlength"in verse, in anything, is near-ly always horrid. At least it has to beawfullygood to be otherwise.—Fairiel.)

AS STUPID AS A GOOSE?In England thero is a certain goosewho proves them by no means stupid.The bird accompanies its ownerJS^Tm' he g°eS for short walklta-the fields near his home.

friends; but if the conversation isunduly long, says the owner, the goosetugs at his coat as a hint to proceed.When the bird was unable to see itshuman friend because he was ill inbed it fretted, and kept callintr forhim. °So persistent was the gooso that itwas taken to the foot of the stairs toallowît to hear his voice. Apparent-ly satisfied,Peter gave three cries ofsatisfaction and .walked out of thohouse.Peter has beeu trained to go to bedwhen told, and he obeys as immediatelyas any puppy.

SOMETHING TO MAKE.First ehpose a good strong cork, hav-

ing a fine, close grain. Now, upon oneend of it, draw your initials backwardswith a thick nib in ink. Allow the inkto dry and, with a pen-knife, cut awaythe cork, leaving the inked initials. Thecork must be cut away to a depth of1-8 in.. To use your stamp, ink theletters (not too freely), and press downo- the paper. When you lift the corkyou will find you have made a clearinitial, and of course1 it'a very usefulfor marking all sorts of things."^■"'liKiiiimiiiiiiiiiß

MAGNA CARTAFOUNDATION OF LIBERTY

OUR HERITAGE TO-DAY

SYMBOL OF UNITY

-Magna Carta Day (15tli June),wasmarked by a special celebration at Wel-lington Girls' College, when appropri-ate: songsand other items wero givenby the school choir and by Mrs. J. Han-nan and Mrs. Ray Brown/ An ad-dress dealing >with Magna Carta wasdelivered by Mr. A. E- Atkinson.

In .brief introductory remarks theprincipal (Miss Greig) referred to NewZealand's relationship ■with the outsideworld and to the interest of the schoolin the -Empire, ■ the English-SpeakingTTriion,'and the League or Nations.

Mr. A. B. Atkinson said that twoconsecutive "Wednesdays had broughtus intimate reminders of two of themost momentous events in English his-tory. A week ago the ninth centen-ary of ■■-the birth of William the Con-queror was celebrated at Hastings andBattle Atbey. To-day they were cele-brating the signing of Magna Carta.William was-.one of the strongest,ablest, and bravest of our. Kings—agreat.soldier, a great statesman, and agreat-man.;. At Hastings he defeatedan Englandwhich had sadly degenerat-ed since the days of /Alfred, arid byrough methods,he gave it peace, order,the beginnings of common law, anduhityof a kind. But the rule of Wil-liam .was foreign and despotic, and tohim,and his Norman,barons."English-niau,'' was a term of contempt. Johnwas a very different sort, of man.Macaulay called hjm "a trifler and acoward"—a very mild description ofone of tho vilest, most vicious, andmost contemptible of men. One ofJohn's first acts was to kill his fatherby,his.treachery: . Henry 11. died of abroken heart from the discovery thathis. son had been secretly plottingagainst him. /One of John's last actswas: the proposal to hang the garrisonof. Rochester Castlewhich he had cap-tured. The .Eev. W. Hunt describedhim-as.."mean, false, vindictive,: andabominably crnel," as of a .violenttemper but at heart a coward, and as"so■frivolous-and slothful that at criti-cal times he would behave like a fool."One-might-add "that -he was so unbal-anced that. oh some.critical occasionshe would eveh-t>ehave like a.madman.

SALVATION FROM VICE.Yet England's debt to John was im-

mense. "The talents and even thevirtues of her first' six French Kingswere," said Mac&ulay, "a curse to her.The -follies and vices of the aeyenthyreie lier . salvation." John was soimpartially ; faithless, cruel, and op-pressive- to everybody that the distinc-tipni between Norman and English;wasobscured in their common sufferings.''The two races,'' Macaulay proceed-ed, "so long hostile, soon found that(ihdy had common interests and commonene.niies. Both were alike aggrievedby/tfii?/tyranny, of a bad king." . . .Tte:great-graudsons of those who had

.fought;under-Williamand the great-■i grandsons.,of those who had fought un-Harold began to draw near to eachother in friendship; and the first pledge.of Itheir Teconeiliation was tho GreatCharter, won by their united exertions,and framed for their common benefit.Here/commences the historyof the Eng-'lish natio-n.'i^ ■; . .

■The charter, which .was won underthese.conditions was, as Maitland said,. an "intensely-practical" document. It. was practical,- concrete, and business-like; There was no nonsense about it,and no frills. There was nothing about"liberty,.equality,, and fraternity" afterthe French'style,"nothing about theself-evident truth that all men were

._. cr.eated equal,- which was affirmed intho American Declaration of Indepen-dence. There was no thought of this.., in, ' a"_, practical document designed tomeet practical needs. Men had been.cruelly[robbed under the name of tax-

;. 'htion-at. the.will of a wicked King.■They, had been iitnprisoned and pun-ished-without trial. Justice had beendenied, or; delayed—which was oftenthe same thing. No man's property or.-liberty was safe. The barons who hadbecn-compelled: to tako up arms and

"■:" had. at last- got the upper hand were: determined:that those things cease..-They .put what they wanted, into a

document, and at Runnymcdo on; theloth, June, 1215, they compelled King.. John' to sign: it. ■

'That was MagnavCarta.' - . °

THE LAW ABOVE THE KINO.The. essence of the charta was to

stop "the; tyranny under which. bothraces-had suffered by putting the Jaw!,above tho .King. Hence -Macuulay.fi>description of .it *as an instrument ofnational unity as well as securityMAniamusing illustration of ,'its "intensely-:practical" character, was a clause whichprovided that, if the King broke-thecontract the barons ajad the community"may distrain and distress us : all. theways possible, namely, by seizing ourcastles, lands,. and possessions, and inaiy other 'ways they can." If Johnmade default, the- barons and thepeople had)the right to:pint the bailiffsinto .Windsor Gastlef—if they,'..could!'John's attitude to the, charter he ;had

; signed' wasj, characteristic;,. Firstj he"worked himself into a state of fury.gnashing his teeth and gnawingstrawsand;.bits of. stick." The1 he repudi-ated' the and the .fighting be-gan again,.but he was not strongenough. Magna Carta had! other perilsto'face;from some other Kings, but it..'still! stood\in the slightly modified:formgiven to it in 1225,and while it stoodtyranny was impossible. "A King," ac-crding to a Greek philosopher, "ruledas he ought, a tyrant as he lists; a kingto the profit of ally a tyrant to pleasea few." King John ruled as a jbyrant,King George;as a/ king.

;? KINGSHIP TbR TYBANNY.Magna Carta and subsequent ex-

tensipnsVof its principles had not onlysecured popular rights in Britain butiad' enabled her to carry, law, order,and-liberty all round tho world, andto give agreat lead to the otherPowerswhich.had, joined her in the League ofNations. Wiea the pioneers landed' inthis'country they brought Magna Carta.. with them, not in any of their carpetbags—for .the .only, surviving originalremained. in the..British "Museum—butas a "part, of the .equipment of lawand liberty which followed the British].flag. .i. Magna Carta stood at tho headof the British laws which' were inforcein New Zealand to-day. Its principleshad-.-given protection to the weaker:"races'_ of the Empire, and had enabled'Britain to confer upon, the millions ofIndia, iii .the words of Mr. EamsayMuir, "the supreme gift which theWest.had to ofte'r to,the East, the sub-stitution, of -the unvarying Eeign!ofLaw for "; the capricious .wills of in-:numerable ;and . shifting despots."

THE BAR SINISTER

AIDS TO ITS REMOVAL

WHAT THE STATE DOES

HOW THE CHUECHASSISTS

"■;"■"" One thousand four hundred andseverity-three illegitimate children

" wereborn in New Zealand last year.What becomes of these "unwant-ed",babies; so helpless and so han-dicapped at the very start.of their. /great/adventure? Can they draw

■ level; pass, or defeat their little. legal;compeers? The answer wouldseem to be, "With the help of theState' and charitable institutions,yes, very nearly."Tobegin at the beginning,the illegiti-

mate child is usuallyborn in such in-stitutions as the Salvation Army Homeor-the Alexandra Home, to give Wel-lington instances. Here, in Christiansurroundings, the mother i3helped to aproper interest in her child. She is toldthat although she has not given it thebest;of beginnings, still, she can giveit much.ih-Jjhe way of love and a rightattention; to herselfvas well as the child.TfL "some homes the( unmarried mothermust^promise to remain not less thanthreefmonths-to nurse her baby, andall illegitimate/births are reported tothe. Child, Welfare branch of the Eduvcation Department. This notification,was/prbviijed for under the Child Wel-fare Act, 1925, with the object of re-ducing the high death rate amongillegi-timate infante, which' had. been notedas nearly, double that of babies bornin wedlock.. The work of the ChildWelfare officers and that of those in

■charge of charitable homes dovetailsvery ,well, and when the question'arisesas to what shall become of the youngchild, they,both co-operate if necessaryin,-seeing it safely;cared for.■/'.

. SJUOCESSrUI. ADOPTIONS.."Some; of-'the/babies^ the. lucky ones,

are,' a3crptedj and"'probably they haveth.c.best chance in/life.^ .Child Welfareofficers"iare';"always- oh. the look-out foradoptive parents, and the superintend-ent (Mr.. J.,Beck) is of the opinion thatas ;a rule- adoption proves to be ahappy, solution of numerous child prob-lems,as well as,an economical arrange-ment in 'the; case of children whosemaintenance .would" otherwise be . aCharge pn";;the State. Every care' istaken ,to/ find, children with tempera-ments suited-:to the adopting parents,and: the; child;is sent out "on trial"for a few weeks or months. . If every-thing.,is/; satisfactory, the adoption is''put > tiro'agh." In the case of anillegititaate{> child,, the. consent of themother only is required, and once theehildis,adoptedshe.renounces all rightto, it .whatsoever. If the child'js' overthe ; age of-twelve years it must giveits. consent iin writing.. The,;order foradoption is made by a Magistrate, whomust: be": satisfied that those adoptingthe.child are oi good repute, and almostwithout exception he takes the evidenceof/a. Child Welfare officer as proof ofsuch.,; The:Magistrate, may also namea.child about to be adopted in accord-ance ;with the wishes of., the adoptiveparents, but. in the past an adoptedchild retained, both his former Ohrisrtian name, and surname, and added toit- the name of his adoptive parents.Itis not lawful for any adopting parentto receive any premium or other con-sideration,without the consent of theMagistrate; In the case... of infantsunder six years of age the premium is/jpiiid:over by.the Court to tlio districtagent:of .the Child Welfare branch, anddisbursed by her.as she thinks fit inthe interests bf'the child.' Whore apre-mium is paid the home is liconsed andsupervised until the premium is exhaust-ed, but homes adopting children with-out:a premium are exempt from license.

,So mftch >for adoption. Three hundredandl.sixty-flvo adoptions were arrangedlast' year) and very many homes,child-less, and otherwise,must be the happierfor having taken in some nameless mite,and there are not a few cases on re-cord where'another, and even a third;child has been adopted to be a brotheror sister to the first baby.

|, STATE CHILDREN.v., ,In,; :some -cases a single girl with. ababy^'willTiake -a situation with herchildj:orher, parents may come forwardaii'cl-'.take;.charge of it. Sometimes the.fatjrer- will " marry' the mother, butw.b.ere'Vshe ip destitute and incapablo:ofproviding for her child, and the fatherof it'i"' hot' found,, tho baby may boo'ommitted'to the State. In such case itreceives the'-benefitsof legitimate' Statd.childrehi*.lt enters a receiving' homo,Jwhi.ch..:,is "really a place of temporaryMi^te'iijiQJi', ,:sfyhpre it stays for perhapsia;iyrepk''b.efp,ro a homo is found for it,and it; js : liceiised to its foster-parents.The idea of foster-parents is to preventthe Child-becoming institutionalised. Itjoins in the family life, goesto school,to church, joins clubs, etc., and growsup as an: ordinary boy or girl, beinggradually-absorbed into the community.When, the girls or boys leave school,suitable'positions are; found for thembythe .WelfareDepartment, who at firstcontrols i.their- earnings. Later, if theymakegood tlreymay arrive at the "ser-vice agreement^' and may make.theirown .arrangements, and finally theyobtain "their discharge* at the age of21, or if their conduct has beensatisfactory. Childrenworthyof ahighereducation receive the same, and areoften enabled to; continue their studiosaven'beyond the ago when the averageyoung :person has found employment.Special provision is made for boys withmore than ordinary intelligence to at-tend a hostel in Auckland managed bythe" ;y.M.C.A. This hostel has accom-modation for twelve lads, and each yearthe Department selects, boys fromamongthe Statefamilles:—whether theyare legitimate or not does not matter—and provided they, are proved worthythey arc maintained by the Departmentuntil.tliey;qualify for such professionsas' teaching, accountancy, engineering,etc. Arrangements have also been"made recently in Wellington for aihos-tel-for 1 girls, who may be consideredworthy of special opportunities in vari-ous avenues of employment. Becentlythe Department:engaged the services ofa vocational guidance officer to findsuitable avenues of "' employment andgenerally to .watch over the futures ofthese girls.v!By this it will be seen thattheStatedoes all in its power to removeany stigma which may attach itself toilligitimate children. A girl may alsoboard but her child privately if she sodesires. She obtains the name of alikely-homo'from officersof the Depart-ment, and makes her arrangements formaintenance through them.

1 WHAT THE CJTOECH DOES.VAlthpugti-'perhaps the Churchdoes not

do- quite as much for. the illegitimatechild as does the State, there, are severalinstitutions' of various- denominationswhich admit BUch youngsters, At theRoman;Catholic Home of Compassion, for.instance; illegitimate girls may.receivea' thorough' training in all matters do-mestic after they "have left' school atthe- age 'of fifteen. They may notleave the home altogether until they are

eighteen,but beforethat can take posi-tions:which,allow J;hemto return to thehome at might. Even when they makea _ definite /break,': they keep in touchwith and are kept;in touch by the Sis-ters who have,so lovingly watched overthem in their;, younger days. .

KING JOINS IN

COMMUNITY SINGING

SCENES AT WEMBLEY

"ABIDE. WITH .ME"

(From "The Post's" Representative.)■ LONDON, 4th May.

TJie King, and nearly one hundredthousand of his subjects, were at. theStadium, Wembley, to see the FootballAssociation Cup-Final, which was wonby Cardiff City, who defeated The Ar-senal,.London fs oldest professional club,by one goal to nil.

It was a, notable .afternoon, first onaccount of the community singing, andsecondly, because a Welshman playingagainst Welshmen let the ball throughthe goal almost by accident, and sodecided the Cup Final. This Welsh-man must .undoubtedly have been themost miserable man in England andWales. He was D. Lewis, the Arsenalgoalkeeper. It was one of those un-lucky goals which may happen in thebest regulated of sides. A hard, lowshot from the. Cardiff centre forward,in one of those sudden breakawayswhich made his side dangerous, wassaved by Lewis, the goalkeeper, on iiisknees. There was nobody near him.His clearance was simple, and with con-fidence he swung about to throw th<>ball away.Every Arsenal supporter in ti:;;:crowd .of people.gave a whistling gas;>of horror as the ball slipped fromLewis's hands. It bounced. It rol-led. Lewis made a frantic dive asthough he was trying to save his .life,and the lives'of his whole family, buttho ball trickled .over the' white goal-line. That fatal slip. WheneverLewis

had a moment;;;of';rest afterwards -hestood.a limp,-despondent'figure, againstthe goalpost. His'onlyconsolation,was.that lie captured' the Cup Final ballafter . the : match—and he probablyhated it like anything.

THE GREAT CHOIR.The first thing that caught the eyewas the brilliant red; of the uniforms

of the massed;bands of the Irish andGrenadier Guards standing out againsta magnificent greenstage, but assured-ly the next thing was the strange spec-tacle of-a white figure, plumpbut ath-letic, vigorously,'waving his arms about,on a movable, black-painted platform.The whiteness of the figure and theblackness of the platform somehow sug-gested a.scaffoldand:an execution,butthat morbid-thought was soon dissipat-ed when the strains of the "Froth Blow-ers' Anthem "'began to rend the air;and it was realised that this platformwas the perch' of a super-conductor,gymuastically as well as musicallytrained. Ono or other of the two byitself nvould have been useless,but incombination they proved irresistible.Mr. T. P. Ratcliff, iv fact, was a for-mer physical .training, instructor, andit was his,knowledge of tho well-swungarm, not too easily tired, quite as muchas his sense of beat and time, that lur-ed on tho crowd ■ to unheard-of vocaltriumphs. Tho:ccjio of the Stadium,porhaps, helped the singers and theirconductor to extract a "yah" out ofthe word Hallelujah, that would havebeen terrifying,4n an enclosed space.

The King;-standing in tho RoyalBox, joined in the singing. Mr. andMvs.'ChurehilVa few seats behind, lift-ed up their voices and added to thogreat volume of/majestic sound. Mr.Lloyd George,.with whom hymn sing-ing is a passion, revelled in the music.Mr. J. H. Thomas*sang, and LordDorby. So'did "all >the chiefs of theFootball'- Association. So did everyperson gathered; in, the vast Empirestadium. ■ ' i " "■

THE KING'S WISH.It was by the .King's wish that

"Abide With 1Me"was sung by thecrowd. He had heard that, as thecommunity singing movement origin-

ated by the "Daily Express" progress-ed, two football crowds had chantedthe hymn. It was a favourite of hisown. The King asked, therefore, that"Abide With Me" should be selectedfrom the song-sheet, and also "Landof My Fathers," this as a complimentto the AVales which he had just visit-ed. The Welsh had beautiful voices.He wanted to hear.

The communitysinging had continuedfor an hour when the King arrive!Led by Mr. Kateliff, the crowd andpacked up. their troubles in their oldkit bags, been a long-wayto Tipperary,and kenned John Peel and his coat sogay. They had been with their trueloves on the bpnnie banks of Loch Lo-mond. Then John Brown's body hadlain amould'riug in -the grave."The crowd was slower to start thanusual," said Mr. Kadcliff. "Thespace was too vast, I suppose. Whenthey got going, though ... I "navenever heard such singing! I was verynervous, before it began. I had tostand up'all alone on. a high platformand face nearly 100,000people. Forall Iknew they would resent my inter-ference and chant, 'Sit down, sitdown.' I soon got over that. Theycheered! Community singing, it was«oon obvious,had swept country."

For a few minutes the singing stop-ped until the King took his place.-Theneven the National Anthem was sungwith greater fervour than usual. The■singing had loosened the throats, gotthe keys right, stopped all the bashful-ness. . When "God Save the King"had been broadcast from 100,000throatsMr. Eateliff returned' to his stand.

Then,in the presence of their King,the crowd sang "Pack Up Your Trou-bles" again, and repeated "Tipper-ary." The King looked' on, wonder-ingly. Great spectacles are common inhis life. Cheersand multitudes followhim everywhere. Vast orchestras haveplayed at his bidding; noble organshave thundered out their harmonics attli; moving ceremonies,of which he hasbeen th'o centre. This was a new ex-perience—chorus-singing 'for whichthere had been no rehearsal, whichsprang naturally from a nation's lovoof song. Then- came an experiencethat, as the.Kingsaid afterwards, willlinger:for long in his memory—ahymnat a football match. The.crowd stood

up and with'bare heads sang "AbideWith Me." ... ; "

"I confess," says, one well-knownwriter, "that the majestic, reverenceand sincere solemnity of the hymn un-manned me. The soul of the people re-vealed- itself spontaneously in wayesof glorious harmony. . ;

"The open vowels, and the slowrhythm released the music in the multi-tude, and the sound of its mighty voicesoared into sublimity.. It brought tearsto many eyesand softenedmany'hearts.We sang the first verse twice, and thesecond^ verse, and then the last versewith gathering passion, until the man-scape awed itself. For a flash as thelast note faded away thero was a sil-ence of deep feeling."It moved me to feel the religious

emotion of a football crowd overcom-ing its secular excitement and its ten-sion of sporting rivalry. "Abide withMe" made that heterogeneous multi-tude onein a common utterance of theirinner being. Shakenas,l was by thiswonderful, revelation' of the people'shidden soul, I was not prepared forthe amazing sweetness of the Welshvoices as thoy sang'Land of My Fath-ers.' What a choir!

A MIRACLE OF MUSIC."The deliberate, measured beauty of

.tho melody,,atolo through the air likean enchantment,every word clear andtuneful, and every note' caught andhold graciously. For the second timemy heart melted, a.nd the tears flowedin irresistible "ecstasy. 'Wales!Wales!' The passion'and loveliness ofthe great rhythm created a miracle ofmusic.

'■4Our hushed mood was relieved by'Tipperary' once more, with Mr. Rat-eliff: swinging and slashing, scythingand whirling,-hammering.and poundingout our hearts in thundering rhythmsthat seemed to tear tho flying cloudsoverhead. ■

"An unforgettable and indescribableexperience for us all. This communitysinging is something new and strangein our national life. : It is still only inits infnncv but the Stacium. revjaled■its stupendous power to unite andunify us, and to ennoble us with highemotions." . :

A LYCH-GATE

Similar to thatwhich it is proposed should be erected ;on the site of the Bolton Street Chapel It was hoped to col-lect funds sufficientto restore the Chapel, but the proposal has not met with a qrwt deal of success and the.■"-. ' Lych-gate idea is an alternative which could be realised at considerably lesTeost.

OUR PARIS LETTERFRENCH WAR LEADERS

BURIAL NEAR NAPOLEON'STOMB

A MILITARY PANTHEON(From "The Post's" Representative.). . "

PARIS, 27th April.France's great.war leaders are to be

buried in future round-Napoleon's tombin the Invalides Churchof St. Louis. ABill to this effect is at present beingpassed through the Trench Parliament,and arrangements are being made forthe inhumation of the remains of six-jteen great French war leaders totake place on-14th July. Marshal Mau-norry, who was one of the great gen-erals at the first Battle of the Marne,GeneralGrossetti, of the Yser, GeneralHumbert, of Verdun, GeneralMangin,the famous leader of many desperateattacks throughout the war, GeneralLaureza, the hero of the Battle ofGuise in 1914, and Generals Maistre,Dubois, Buat, Koques, Mau cl'huy,Putz, Mitry, Bois-Soudy, Gerard, andLangle de Cary, all of them illustriouson many-fields of battle, will lie intheir appointed places 'around thegreatest of French generals, the Em-peror Napoleon. When these famousgenerals have occupied their tombs,there will still be left room for twenty-five other military chiefs.

LOUVRE FUNERAL CEREMONY.An impressive ceremony took placeiv the Louvre Museum yesterday morn-ing in connection with the funeral ofM. Georges -Beuedite,' the late curator

of the Museum of EgyptianAntiquities,who died in -March of last year atLuxor. The remains, which recentlyarrived in Paris, prior to being,carriedto their last resting-place at Bourg-ra-Beine, lay for soriie time in the Egyp-tian Hall of' the museum, amid antiquestatues of gods and goddesses and kings.A large number of niourners attended,including nearly everybody of note in[the world of arehoelogy in Paris. M.Herriot, Minister of Education,and M.Fakri Pasha, Egyptian"- Minister inParis, were' also- present. Several briefspeeches were made,after which a fun-eral service was-held ;in the Church ofSaint-Germain' I'Auxerrbis, nearby.

"MILDIOTT" AND "MILLE."' Continuing their labours on theFrench language in view of the next'

revised edition of their dictionary, thelexicographers of the French Academy-have decided that the word "mildow,"which is generally spelt as, in English,shall henceforthbe written "hiildiou."It is worth noting'also that while theterm "grape mildew" is current inEnglish, the Academicians, in their de-finition of "niildiou," point out thatit is the vine leaf and: not the grapethat is attacked by the parasite fun-gus. The Academicians have also ruled"that the numeral word "mille," usedadjectively, may .cither- be written"inille" or "mil."

NEW GARB FOE MEN.Several leading artists, including

MM. Abel Faivre, Cappielle,- Mallet-Stevens,and Angel Zanaga, will con-tribute to a small exhibition of designsfor masculine garb, to 'be opened inParis. They are working to the follow-ing formula: "Suppose that all yourclothes were accidentally burnt, andyou were so upset that you could notclearly remember what they were ;like.This being understood;dsisigii any cos-tume which you' would.be willing towear." This effort will form.a featurein the campaign against trousers, andwhen the artists' creations have beenduly discussed the tailors will no doubtset to work. The new suits—assum-ing, of course, that a sufficient numberof Parisians have sufficient couragetowear them in. "public—should maketheir appearance at Longchamps racesat the height of the Paris season andstand the fire of masculine sand femin-ine criticism. .

NEWSPAPER CURIOS.Someremarkable relics will figure inthe Press Exhibition, which is to beopened by the President of the Repub-lic on Friday at tho official residenceof the President of the Chamberof De-puties. On this occasion the President,who, like most French public men, isan-ox-journalist, will be shown receiptssigned by himself in the far-off days

when he did not disdain to accept 100francs for an article. The NationalLibrary has lent some copies of news-papers of the Revolution, includingMarat's "L'Ami dv Peuplc" and Cain-ille Desmoulins's' "Lo Mcrcurc Gal-ant." The "Figaro" is showing anumber,printed in 1871,containing thetext of a letter from Bismarck to hiswife. The "Illustration" lends thecontract under which Edmond Rostandwas to receive 300,000francs for hisrights inconnection with "Chante-cler." Another curiosity is a tinyprinted sheet,.no.bigger than copy-booksize, the.'.'Petit Avcnois.' It'was pro-duced on 11th November, 1918,just anhour after the departure of the Ger-mans from Avesnes. , .

THE ARMISTICE CAR.Preparations are being .made at theInvahdcs for the removal of the his-toric railway dining-car in; which theArmistice was 'signed on Hth Novem-ber, 1918. The car is to be taken tothe glade in the forest of Compiegrie,where tho! signature took place, awealthyAmerican having provided thefunds for building a permanent shel-ter, thus saving the relic from theeffects of exposure to the weather. Thedoorway of the Invalides, which hadto be widened to admit the car, is nowundergoing the same process to let itout. Bails will be laid down betweentho doorway aild the outer gate, wherenext Saturday the car will be hoistedon a special truck and put on the rail-

way at the Pont :de 1'Alma, afterwhich it will make its last journey onrails to its final resting-place.DECORATION FOR "COCO."

For the first time, aFrench clown hasbeen decorated. Coco,of the Cirque deParis, -whoso real name is Kaoul Jouinhas been awarded the palines acade-miques, and is now entitled to wear apurple ribbon in his buttonhole. Cocowas born at the Nouveaux Cirque, andmade his debut at the Hippodrome inthe Champ do Mars at the agoof nine,though not as a clown. He developedinto an accomplished arid plucky riderand earned fame by jumping on horse-back into a pool from, a height"of 30feet. Later he made the tour ofEurope with Bob O'Connor, the clown,who, in spite of his name, was as thor-ough a Parisian as Coco. During thewar Coco served first in the heavy cav-alry and then in the light infantry.His services as an entertainer at therest camps and hospitals were often inrequest, and they alone are quite suffi-cient to justify the distinction now ac-corded to him.

BIG HOUSE DESTROYED(By Telegraph Press Association.)

AUCKLAND, 17th June.The twenty-seven-roomed ."■Wind-sor" Boarding-house,' in Khyber Pass,was gutted by fire at 8 o'clock to-

night. The fire had a goodhold whenthe brigade arrived, and made a spec-tacular blaze. The building hadbeen empty for several weeks. Thecause of the fire is unknown. Thebuilding was included'in the propertytaken by the City Council for thewaterworks extensions. Insurancesand valuation arc unavailable.

HEALTH NOTESGOOD HABITS

BUILDING SOUND BODIES(Contributed by the.Department of

Health.)Civic pride and wealth are generally

shown by great buildings,;fine bridges,paved streets, and beautiful boulevardsand parks. Let us build bodies of fleshand blood as we build structures of steeland stone. Both are needed,but of thetwo the human structure is the mostimportant, states the Chicago HealthDepartment Bulletin.

Great care is taken to put the bestand strongest of materials in tnese thingsso that they will last indefinitely. Thestyle and beauty of the buildings aresuch as to please the eye and excite theadmiration. istreets are made smoothand straight, free from defects and,wherever possiole, are lined with trees,and shrubs to add a bit of the beauty ofNature. i'arks are kept in order, pro-"tected against defilement,and mads at-tractive lor the enjoyment of lovers ofthe outdoors.

Did you ever stop to consider howmuch thought is put into all these activi-ties?

Ihe foundation of a building is thegreat essential in the construction of themassive skyscraper, for upon,the firmnessof its base depends the life of the super-structure: Then the steel girders areput in place to form solid frameworkwhich will withstand the stress and strainof stoim and temperature. Then brickand stona are added to enclose the build-ing and givo protection against theravages of time and fire.

How similar is the building up of thehuman body! If half as much attentionwere paid to the building of bodies as<s given to structures of steel.and brick,public health officials would have littleto do. . ". """ " " :

FOUNDATION OF HEALTH, jWhat is the foundation of. health of

the human body? ' It lies "deep. inheredity. . . Healthy, parents, furnisha healthy basis to their offspring, barringaccidents of birth.- ; The combined healthfactorsof the parents are given to: everycell of the child's body. ■ That is thefirst essential of.vital resistance or protec-tion against disease. Then,.given theright foundation,we.;can build the super-structure of the child's health. ;

The.frameworkof solid,.strong, growingbones and teeth corresponds to.the steelskeleton of the building. For these,the right kind of food, containing min-erals such as ,lime and',phosphorus, isneeded. Milk, fruits, vegetables andcod liver oil furnish vitamins to helpuse these ingredients in buildinga strongbony framework. .

The muscles,fat, and skin, correspondto the stone and brick work of the build-ing. These are the walls of the humanbuilding, which give strength and beauty,and also enclose and protect the vitalorgans. . '

A tall building, no matter how strongand beautiful it may.be, is useless foroccupancywithout a good heating plant,pump, water pipes, elevators, sewage,and ventilation system, and so forth.So it is also with the human body.-

The habits of cleanliness,right eating,sufficient rest and sleep, taking plentyof freshair at work and play, and think-ingright, contribute strength, aid growth,and keep the. body in good repair. Thewell-cared-forbody brings efficiency andinspires a smile of health on the faceofthe owner. There is laughter at hismeals and he has ambition to forge aheadand enough contentment to keep him ina happy frame of mind. ■

Beauty is only skin ■deep. Withoutproperly working lungs, heart, digestivetract, liver, blood vessels,and kidneys,the human body is a poor place to live,in. That building is hot a paying onefor there is no' income in rentals. Inthe case of the human building it's' aloss if it does not give the happinessthat only a good, healthy body brings.Loss of the income of happiness or well-being spells inefficiency and loss'in moneyand time off for sickness.- The healthbuilding must be built strongly if it isto be safe against the fire hazard ofsickness. . ;

CONTRIBUTING FACTORS:Good janitor service also aids in the

upkeep of tho building^ and. adds to- itsvalue and length of life. In the caseof the body, good health habits are thejanitors which keep the human buildingup to par. . :

Continuous,proper use of the humanbuilding,is also necessaryto health. Ifyou use a building but a few months inthe year and then shut it down^ it soonbecomes covered with dust and its run-ning machinery getsf. out of order. Itmay be a fine, expensive building,. butif not used rightly,' will soon lose itsvalue. It is :.a. common; mistake,to gowithout exercise for a week or a moutKand then try to make it up in. an after:noon or a week-end. This is harmful;as harmful, in fact^ asr starving-for" aweek and then over-eating to niake it'«p- ' " #:: :

One should lead an active but evenlife, not trying! to burn'up three-quartersof one's vital energyin the first 35 years;but conserving the vitality; vim; andvigour for the years after seventy:.In the harmonious working of healthyorgans, one need .think of ■nothing ex-cept outside matters. The healthy man'sinner ortrnns do not exist in his conscious-ness.. He lives longer arid-becomes moreefficient with age, because he improveseverything around him, raising" externalvalues to his own standards. .

NATURE NOTESTHE KIWI

SPECIES AND DISTRIBUTION

(By U. H. D. Stidolpii, E.a!o.U,)'Much speculation existed in the past,

as to the number of valid species ,'of,kiwi in New Zealand;sbmo ornithoio«gists recognising as many as se.ybivThe number now acceptedby the ilia-jority.of investigators is three,- 'with.'different forms inhabiting certainp»Tts-of the country. The North Island, 'tli'eSouth Island, and the Stewart Islandkiwi,' formerly regarded as distinctspecies, are now considered as one, mtiraecs'inhabiting the respective islands.In■colour—the brown kiwi (Aptery*australis) as the bird .is known ', toscientists—is rufous or greyish brown;streaked longitudinally ,with : black.Thisrbird is very variable, in 'size, thatotal; Icnglh varying from twenty-lossinches to about thirty, the largest speci-mens, being obtained oh Stewart IslandsThe length of the bill 'of the malejSfrom 3.75 inches to 5.5 inches;andYfifthe female from ' 5.5 inches to 7.5inches. A smaller specie's,.' the lit|l«grey kiwi (Apteryx;ow'ehii) apparentlyoccurs in both the North -and-.SouthIslands, but its presence in. the. formerisland has not been satisfactorily, deter-mined. A form of this-bird, at .'onetninj considered a -distinct species;:'in-habits'-tho- West Coastranges of'WVsSouth Island. The grey kiwi is,"a*the;name suggests, grey in colour,spot-ted! with yellowish. white, the spotsforming.bands. , The'bill differs from!that of the;, brown, kiwi, in beingstraight, not.slightly.;curved. Iri.thamaje bird the lengthof thebill is aboub2.85 inches, arid of the .female aboufc5.5' inches.- The total length. of 'thabird is about nineteen inches/ )l>utiparies considerably, mostly on th«smaller size. The remaining species;known as the great spotted kiwi (Ap-teryx haasti).attains a total lengUroflfrom 25 to 27 inches,and inhabits-thWWest Coast of the South Island, prut,cipally-sub-alpine regions. It is browlri.ish grey in colour, spotted with yellow.ish white, forming broad lightbands.The bill is slightlycurved, that of th»female being considerably the larger,as is the case in all species, arid megs-urjng about 5.4 inches as comparedwith 4.75 inches-in the case- ~ot :thamale. . . ■ .

; At the present day the brown kiwiis still numerous in certain pryts. ofthe country, but, of course, is not :'koplentifnl.as was formerly the case. Thainroads of settlement, and tho formerdecimation of its. numbers by ■-" Jciwihunters—the. skins were:used;for niak.big muffs and mats—reduced,its num.bers considerably, so much so that it-ismatter of wonder that the bird hasremained as common as it has." Does,too, readily follow; thei scent of thekiwi, and to-day are probably the worstenemy the birds have to face. Theonlyportion of the Wellington provincein which, the brown kiwi is found1 isthe extreme northern districts. ". in thebush country of Taranaki, fiawkes3ay, Auckland, and North Auckland,however, it still occurs/and in som*districts is comparatively1 . common.-Uie brown kiwi, apparently, has neverbeen recorded from the southern por-tion; of the "Wellington province;, rioteven from the Tararna;Mountains -itwas. on Mount Hector, however, thatthe late Mr.. Morgan.'Carkeek' obtaineda specimen of the little grey kiwi Thatwas in 1875. Mr. Carkeek found thebird comparatively abundant at thatt;me. But the most puzzling featureconnected with the occurrence of thisspecies on that mountain is,''that it ha*never,been seen since,"nor has-it:beeafound in. other parts of the. North.Island. It is unlikely that the birdhas. suffered extermination in that re-mote mountain retreat., In the SouthIsland the various species—brown,grey, and great spotted—occur.on iV*western portion, from Nelson to Puy*segar,Point. " One species only occursonStewart Island, a form of the br'oWakiwi. ' ' ..■'■■.' ■ ■■:'

:" The. cry of the.brown kiwi has beeiidescribed .as harsh and resemblingf'cr-r-r-ruck, cr-r-r-ruck," not. uttereduntil after sundown. ■ When/irritatedit makes a crackling noise by snappingits mandibles together very" rapidly.The grey kiwi utters a cry like "knee,knee, knee," repeated many times'.insuccession,and in reply "kurr," khrr,kurr." The kiwi has an extendedbreeding season. Mr. H. Guthrfe-Smith describes the.actions of a youngbrown kiwi which he kept in: confine-ment;for a short period " on' StewartIsland.- At night,wrote Mr. Guthrle-Smith,when .-the lights were extinguish.edythe kiwi could.be heard feeling andtapping along the sides of the buftsrbox in which it was.'temporarily - con-fined: " At Half Moon Bay it was.plac-ed' in a. large packing,case well litteredwith peat. -There it became compara-tively tame. Usually the worms g»th«ored for thebird were plqced a shal-low dish, and when callers came,to seathe bird its first action was to explorathat dish in anticipation of extra ra-tions. The bird would, readily takaiworms out of friendly hands,or whendangled in front. Mr. Guthrie-Smitb.noticed that when the bird Was lookingfor worms on the ground, the bill wouldber carried an inch ■ or two ■'■ above tfcelitter, and the peat would be felt soft-ly,«just as a blind man used his staffslantingly, to poke and probe theground immediately in front. If whilgfcinvestigating, the peat a worm wasilpVcated,"Dick," as the bird was called,would bury his bill to the very hilt* in.the Brown mould and .then,in this uXix-tude,wrench it from side to Bide as'ifto obtain a wider rangeat its nasal ex.tr^mit}'. ..

BRITISH CARS

THE MOTOR DELEGATION

ATTITUDE OF THE TRADEDealing with the presence of tho Bri-

tish Motor Delegation in tho Domin-ion, the "Radiator" remarks:—

"Apart altogether from the questionof British versus America:l cars, NewZealanders have had the world's mar-kets to choose from, and it should .borecognised that the types-of motor vehi-cles now in use in different.parts of thecountry are the types most suitable forthe work required.

"An investigation; on these linesshould give information m,uchmore re-liable and valuable than, tho theoreti-cal idea of what the ideal car shouldbo. The differencebetween conditionsin England and New-. Zealand will'bemore easily recognised by a comparisonof tho averagehorse-powers used in thetwo countries.' ."In England 55 per cent, of the pas-

sengercars are of 12 h.p. or under; inNew' Zoaland only 5 per cent, are inTTiis class. . ' ■

"In New Zealand 75 per cent, of thecars are between 21 and 30 h.p., whilstEngland only has 14 per cent, in thisclass. ■

' " ■ .-■.'<■'■■ ■ ■' :

"The complete classification ofhorse-power is 'as follows:—-

"A study of these figures should bevaluable evidence of what power is re-quired or preferred in New Zealand,and should convince the members of thedelegation that r.ntil reading conditionsgenerally have.made a much greater ad-vance, considerably more horse-power isrequired in New Zealand than in Eng-land. ''■':.

"The experience of many New Zea-land motor traders in handling Englishcars has been so bitter that they are

indifferent and apathetic, and itwill be difficult to get them to >,ake suf-ficient interest in the matter to sub-mit their views to the delegation.

WHERE THE BLAME BESTS."Wo believe that the English manu-

facturer is to blame for the small per-centage of English cars in use in NewZealand. There are reasons why thisis so, but motor traders would do wellto remember that at one time Englishcars were' outstanding in this, country,and it is not impossible that the lostposition should be regained. *. "This cannot be done by-a strokeof the pen or a roport by a delegation,but a clear understanding botween theinterested parties will go a longway toaccomplishing the objective sought.

"Mptorists, motor traders,'and othershave nothing to lose by doing every-thing possible to enable this delegationtoknow the motor requirements of NowZe.aland,and we would strongly urgeall motor traders with a Knowledge ofthe subject to do their part jn(makingtho visit of the delegation successful.

"Tho reason America dominatestho New Zealand market is really sim-ple whon'ldoked into, and may besummed up shortly in these words:Tho English motor vehicles in New Zea-land have been bought from the Eng-lish manufateurers, whilst Americanmotor vehicles have been sold to NewZealand by the manufacturers.

"Tho visit of this delegation is someevidence that English manufacturersat least realise that if overseas busi-ness is to be done it must.be soughtand not waited for, and if as a resultof tho visit of the present delegationtho manufacturers of English motorvehicles make a Berious attempt to sat-isfy the requirements of this market,we have no doubt England's share ofthe Now.Zealand business will .in-crease, by leaps and bounds."

STUBBORN COUNTY

MAIN ROAD UPKEEP

A PREPOSTEROUS ATTITUDE

For a long time ono of the worststretches of road on the Main No. 1Highwaybetween .Wellington'and Auck-land was the twelve mile section fromNgaruawahia to Ohinewai in WaikatoCounty. This road is the sole link be-tween Auckland and Hamilton, but inthe eyesof Waikato County its main-tenance is Of no interest to anybodyin the county except the farmers whoseproperties cither front directly on toit or not more *?iana mile back oneither side!

The county council allowed the roadto deteriorate into such a state that itbecame almost impassable, and tho re-quests of the Main Highways Boardthat it should put the road in reason-able repair were ignored—it was doingall it could with the rates, it said. Fin-

ally, the Highways Board put the roadin order itself." During the past eight-ecu months the board had spent :ES6SOou the twelve miles. It is debitingthe county council with a share of thecost on the basis of £1 out of evovy£3 expended; The County has thus re-ceived n bill for £1893, and at a meet-ing the other day it declared that itcould hot meet it.

The county chairman, Mr. W. Newell,declared recently that . the countyshould receive special treatment. Thetotal rates received along this piece ofroad, includingan area of one mile mar-gin back from it, amounted only to£407, and a traffic 'tally showed that80 per cent.- of the traffic was fromoutside this area. : It was quite impos-sible to defray the bill out of therates. '" , . . ■■'..."

"As the- view of Waikato Countywith regard to this section of road issimilar to that of, many ! other localbodies,the matter is of more than localinterest," states 'The New ZealandHerald's" motor contributor. "WhileWaikato County contends that the roadis of national importance, it paradoxi-cally refuses to admit that it is ofcounty importance. The only county re-sidents interested in the highway, itcontends, are those who (actually live,on it. Nobody clsq in the county pre-sumably ever wants to drive a motorvehicle over the main road,to Auckland.Waikato County has.a total revenue ofnearly £28,000, and in addition thereare three interior road boards with re-venues totalling over £0000." A totalof £37,000 in rates is thus producedin the county area, but the countyshare of the cost of the main, road isto be dumped on to the people wholive along that highway, and the restof the county residents aro to ride freeover it. A county which regards itsmain road from this preposterous'pointof view deserves no sympathy."

ROUND THE WORLDTHE BRITISH.MOTOR-CYCLEProbably the first motor-cyclists en-gaged on a tour of the.world to reach

Australia, although not tho "first to at-tempt this longthy ride, are Messrs.Cathrick ana Castley, two Englishmen,who recently arrived in Fremantle,Western Australia. They have alreadytraversed many countries of Europe, in-cluding France, Spain, Portgual, Italy,Austria, Gzecho-Slovakia, Hungary,Jugo-Slavia, Bulgaria, and Turkey.From Constantinople they crossed toPalostine, -md visited Damascus, Jeru-salem,Bagdad, ..Teheran (Persia), andentered India. There they visitedQuetta, Karachi, and Bombay, andcrossed the country to Calcutta, coyer-ing 2000. miles in 14 days without mis-hap. From Calcutta, Messrs. Castleyand Cathrick travelled by boat to Pen-ang,and rode to Singapore, where theytook ship for Batavia, and rode toSourabaya. From Sourabayathey tookship again for Fremantle.

Beforo leaving Perth, the motor-cycles were handed in to the,agents fora complete overhaul'to fit them for thestrenuous trip across Australia, via Ade;laide, Melbourne,and Sydney. The touris being made as a world-wide demon-:stratum of the superiority of British'motor-cycles under all conditions. Thecycles are equipped with heavy side-cars, on which are carried.the tourists''equipment. An account of the expert-1

JUDGE'S ADVICE TOPLAINTIFF i

The action, for slander brought byMiss McFoozlc against .Big Trc£ re-snlted in afrwiiv for the. famous MotorSpirit Coriipahy, and the familiarTrue Blue Pump-will continue to giveout the best ,'spirit in" its old form.

A Big Tree Pump 'Miss McFoozleby Night. by Day.

In summing up, Mr. Justice Tur-moH said he felt that plaintiff had nottried sufficiently to disguise herfigure. Without going too deeply intotechnical matters, he felt that by ct>r-''■etting'around what. he. believed wasknown as the bodice, and by weariaigknee-length crinolines, Miss McFooelecould easily avoid being confused withthe True Blue Pump.

Plaintiff's objection that, if she waredistinguishing red clothes, people piutpennies in-her mouth and; waited filorthe chocolate to come out, could beovercome by singing. loudly on Hueapproach of anyonecarrying a penny.His verdict, he said, was largely■

swayedby the opinion that True BluePumps were necessary,whereas plain-tiff wasn't.

He congratulated Big Tree. Headmitted.their spirit he said.

DEMOUNTABLE RIMS

IMPORTANCE OF CARE

Most cars to,-dny .are'"equipped'withdemountable rims. Unless,however,a'certain amount of care is taken whenpreparing to make the changes of rim\vith its blown up tire after a puue-turo, as much and. even more work maybe required. 'Care also must be takento have the rim true on the felloe ofthe wheel,or the tire will not run true.This means that it will wear out quick-ly. No doubt when driving you haveoften observed the tire of some car infront <*f you" wiggling along the road,and have said to yourself that the' carhad a bent axle. If you had noticedthe hub you would have seen that it rantrue, the : tire only being out. Thefault was in the putting on the rim.

In order to have the demountablerim. tight upon the felloe of the wheel,practically all rims are' made secure bymeans of wedges. These wedges may;be in the form of rings or may be sixor eight short wedges.

The way to put on a rim is.as fol-lows: First, scrape with a file or sand-paper all -ust from the rim arid'felloeband. Then turn the wheel so thatthe valve'stem hole is on top. Thenlift the top of the rim on to the wheelinserting the valve stem in its hole, andwhen satisfied that the lug near thevalve stem and on the inside of therim will properly fall into its hole outhe felloe, "slam on" the bottom ofthe rim. Nest, put on the wedge ring(if that type o,f rim) and screw on allof the lugs by hand. Then with atool turn,in bolt No. 1 until a gentlepressure is required, then No. 2, thenNos. 3, 4, a, and 6, after which goaround the rim a number of times,giv-ing each nut a half turn until all aretight. , . ■

Difftculty in-getting the rims oa thewheels is usually due to one of threecauses: The rim may be bent or wheelwarped; there may be rust on the rimor felloe band; the valve-stem maynot be in the centro of its hole in therim.

Marrctt, L.Millar, H. Ratcliffe, and JO.Crombie.

STARTING AND STOPPING

Quick starting and quick stoppingare both very severe on tires, and great-ly reduce their life. When the wheelsare locked in stopping and' the carkeeping On going the tires slide over theroad instead of rolling, and the rubberis worn in one spot. When the engineis given too much petrol in starting anunnecessarily heavy strain is put on thesection of the tiro in contact with theroad, and a weakened tread is the re-sult.

Rubber, cut in squares or streamers,is the most effective material to reducethe vibration and noise caused by themotion of cars. They^should be plac-ed, between the supporting arms of theengine arid .theframe'to which. they areattached* :

Wheels;;;and tires should be trued sep-a'rafely.; ...Tho;front ..wheels' may-toe inthe: p'roperâmount, '.but the rims maynot"; run-I.true,thus .throwing the tiresout ;qf line. This can be determinedbyi.,irev.oiviug- the wheels separatelyand noting -how.true they turn. 'Anyvariation may; be" duo to the wheelsbeing too loose on the axles oiCto therims being screwed to the .wheels un-evenly. ;"'■

THE CAR OF TO-DAT

AMAZING'RELIABILITY

The reliability ..of the preseut'-daymotor-car is largely:taken for granted,but it has received no finer testimonialthan from the experience of the'westernorganiser of the'Graziers' Co-operativeShearing Co.,Ltd., who was caught byfloodsalong the Faroo Biver some timeago (states a Sydney paper).

The car used :was a 1.926. model ofAmerican manufacture, .in which themotorist concerned was making a busi-ness trip along the Paroo early in! Maylast year. The river at the time wascoming down in high flood owing toheavyrain in Queensland,but, as theorganiser wason urgent business,he de-cided not to take an outside road, andeventually was bogged in the channelof the river and had to abandon theear. The water continued .to rise, andwhen the organiser returned -with i as-sistance twp'\.days'were spent gettingthe car on to a sandy ridge, where itwas left for seven months in an ex-posed position, and with no protectionfrom the weather. When the watereventually dried up, tho car was re-covered, and driven straight,back toSydney,,with.ou.t.receivingany mechani-cal attention^ After an overhaul inSydney, it went straight back-on thoroad, and is jlstill;running well. , Al-though left vexposed to the weather forso long, it did not even require re-painting.

ACCIDENT STATISTICS

THE AMERICAN FIGURES

Whenever the subject, "Safety," isin debate, statistics quoted giving'the number of killed and injured inthe United Statesat largo or in certainStates or cities. These totals fre-quently astound the reader or hearerand are often so stupendous that theaverage miivd ;. does: not grasp themclearly. Here is a clear statement:—

According to statistics compiled forthe year 1926 by the Safety First Bu-reau of the National Automobile Club,for every thousand cars there was onodeath,for every one hundred cars therewere " three personal injuries, and forevery one hundred cars there wereseven accidents.

ATTENDANTS' TIPSlapping in garagesis by no means

unknown in New Zealand, though not* general practice to the extent, inAmerica, Europe, and.-elsewhere. Thatit is a practice with a decided bearingon .the cost of running a car is evi-dent by the following paragraphirom apaper in the United Statespointingoutthat "system" is advisable:—

"A motorist had been in the habitof tipping a' garage attendant ratherfrequently,but noticed that, he receivedrelatively little attention despite hisgenerosity. At just about this time,the car owner began keeping accounts,and it was then he noticed that he hadbeen giving the attendant far morethan he should receive. It averaged■omewhere around>7s cents a.week. Ap-preciating the psychology of the situa-tion, he inaugurateda plan of givingadollar bill every two;weeks.' This re-lieved him of the usual unpleasantness"ccompanying tipping and resulted inbetter service. The attendant neverhad kept track of the total.of the mo-torist's donations and regarded him asa 'nickel tipper.'"

AUCKLAND SPORTS CLUB

The Sports Motor Club at Aucklanddecided, to appoint only two vice-presi-dents. . There were four nominations,so a ballot was held. The time wasalso considered opportune for appoint-

Fourteen years ago I patented theREDWELL OPEN FIRE BOILER

FOR HOT WATER.Six,times since then I have improved

it, until the Redwell Boiler at presentis as near perfection as possible, heatswater as quickly as any range,and willlast'SO years.

" ' ...The-front of the boiler, which isbrazed to a cast copper top and bot-

tom, is in 10-gaugc copper.If circulating pipes of copper or lead

and brass unions are used, the servicewill not give,and trouble.

As the fire is lit only once a.week insummer, cast-iron boiler and pipes willalways be a trouble, the lime in thewater, in .Wellington especially, cor-roding the service in seven or eightyears.- . ■ '■''■ ■■ ,-, '

■

The fire .in a destructor heats wateronly, wherias jny boiler heats waterarid' also' heats the room. Thereforefor seven months in the year yoa ob-tain hot water at no cost.

THINK FOR YOURSELF! Thecheapest destructor, which is of ci\st-iirori,. costs £7. ■ The Redwell Boiler,being made o&copper, is guaranteed tolast, and costs £9.I have a patent blower which, when

iised in summer, keeps all heat out ofthe room and heats the water morequickly. This may also be used whenburning rubbish.

Onebuilder alone has set nine of myboilers in twelve months.

NAUTICAL PHRASESH&W SOME HAVE OEIGIJTAtEJ); <

Expressions.in everyday?speech such.f* "making headway," :,f fmaking upleeway," "three sheets in'tio/wind/-'and many others, are easily recogniseda* having a nautical origin/ but therei«re other seafaring terms used jus£: asfrequently whose origins are more ob--BM»e' (writes A. A. Bestic in "BluqiPeter"). There is no acridity W; thofcxpreseion, "to the bitter cnd;'»JSj£«y ship of the present day has twjn'ipillars of iron called "bitts," -feed',in'convenient places "round the decks forpooring the vessel.

" '""Again, the term "the devil..to pay,*.'nas nothing to do withy.paying any tri-fn*o to tfie_ chief of the fallen:angels,'To pay"'.-in this' sense means to cover■with pitch' the' seams betwpeu theplanks of a; wooden' ship after' theyhave been filled with oakum. The devij

Even some of our sailors would notted it an easy matter to 'explain thoorigin of the expression "three sheetsin the -wind,'* as used nowadays in de.-senbing a djunken man when .he ha?leached the staggering stage. In athree-masted sailing ship the three lar.gest_ Bails are secured on. the lee side(whichis the.most phejtered side fromthe wind) by ropes or wires calledMeets.- Should,however,.the^viridun-expectedly shift round so thaWthe sideob which the sheets are made"fast bo.--cornea the weather, or windy ■side; then.these sheets:are "mi the wind,"'andthe vessel staggers and yaw^ about jn.«. manner rather reminiscent of a per-json intoxicated. Such a shift of windijwonld, of^,course, be unexpected, and.cwonld take the ship f'abapk," that is,iipot the wind.on the wrong side of thefsails. This explains tho rather popu-lar term, ','takeii aback,?' a^ used in

conversation when referring:>> some incident that is surprising orUnexpected.

"Beam ends" is the position of a"hip lying on her side, waterlogged,■»»d in'imminent danger of sinking,ffhe beams referred to are the cross, orathwartship deck beams. Thus a per-son in very great 'difficulties is said tolac on his "beam ends;"

The "way" of a ship refers to theSirection or course in which sho is trav-elling, as can be seen from the words""headway," "sternway," '-'leeway."When two vessels are approaching, oneanother so that there is; a possibility:of them eblljding ishouia"they Continuetheir respective courses, one of them ac-eordinjf tq^Board of Trade rules,:hasto.alter h&r* course or. give her "way".to the other^'Hence tho term usedonshore,"to give.way," as signifying toyield on a cewain point in question.

MALTA FEVERCAUSATIVE OBGANISM,

The germthat causes premature calv-ing in cows has been found to cause adisease in man that appears to be iden-tical with the undulant or 3\£alta feverpf Europe,. Miss Alice C. Evans, bac-jteriplQjgißt; of the U.iS. Public HealthService has/ issued -q. general ivarningthrough ,theAmerican Medical Associa-tion that physicians.bp on the lookoutfor this previously little-suspccfcd dis-'ease, "'" In the /countriesground tho Mediter-ranean people contract unduJant feverfroni handlinginfected'goats, or by con-suming their milk or cheese, states'Jgeience Service." In the UnitedStates cattle and hogs have been in-criminated as the carriers of thq causa-tive organism whigh is believed to 'betransferred to humans in thosame ■ way. Some;,unknownfactor,.howeyer,: has probably .prevented thgdisease from becoming-,as., common inAmerica as' in subtropical countries ofEurope.

In recent years.cases.have been re-cognised in .various-. regions throughoutthe "United States,-'but: Miss Evanspoints out that '*judgment as to hqwcommon it is here innst be deferred forat least a few years." The "diseaseswith which it is most likely to be,con-fused, according to medical authorities,are malaria, acute rheumatism,typhoidtuberculosis,and the more recently dis-covered disease, tularemia, *that istransmitted to mau by rabbits.

Miss Evans cites cases of undulantfever in which cattle are believed tohave been the infective agent fromsuch widely separated countries asSouth Africa, Italy, Palestine, and the.Thritetl States.

HEADACHE AND GOLF

BESTTIjT OBVFATIGUE.Lord Dawson of Perm, in tho courseof a lecture o;» "Some. Varietios ofHeadache," which is reported in a re-cent issue of tho "British Medical

VWnal," remarks that the incidenceof headache is variable. The samechain of events would lead to soyerehßadach? in pp(j patjpjit, Biight iieail-ache.in. another, and in yet another noheadache at alj. "There is the disci-plinedman," said Lord Dawson,'''witha fiigh-sfrung. nervous syptem, who hasha4a. heavy peck's work and perhapsM congratulating himself how.well" hehas stood it. Ho plays agame of golfon Sunday. Ho may then plume him-self on the fact that he is as youngas' ever and play a second round. Hothen eats freely.- Then comes thedownfall—migraine. What happens?Heis a man in whom the burden offatiguo falls on his plain muscular tis-sue. As. the week advanced his stom-ach and- intestine. lost tone, and thofunctional capacity of digestion andmetabolism deteriorated. The physicalfatigue of the golf on the top of theweek's duties lowered his blood pres-sure and put his digestion out of busi-ness. Here the sequence of events was:—Exhaustion—failure of digestiontoxaemia—headache. One round ofgolf followed by a light meal and re-cumbency would have done him good.In very marked cases of gastro-intes-tinal- responsiveness to fatigue, asso-ciated as they often are with low bloodpressure, I;he pn]y way is to let theman rest on the Saturday, tako hisexorcise,on the Sunday, and thea hewi]l be a kjng on Monday. Treatmentis,:in large measure a study of causeswhich are variable for different people,but fairly constant forgone infil/idual.In those-people in whom the headachestands alone, and is the result of re-sponsibility and stress, tho day ,of restis needed,but still more the right wayof using it. So often tho day of restsees the same strenuousness and fever-ish'activity, as the day of work.: Itis relaxation which is needed,and itsart requires stuly. Exercise to bebeneficial must bear relation to theframe, physiological habit, and tho"week's work. There are jsimes whenthe subject prone to headache needs aday or half a day in bed with windowsppen, the lightest of diet, and a divert-ingbook. It is to bo remembered thatsome headache .victims have no twi-light, no forewarning of fatigue, andin extreme cases their.lives alternatebetween orgies of activity and prostrartion,. The best treatment is to shpwthem the \ nature of the problem. InBome.eaaeß si unusual eomijqlence, withor without yawning,in others an exal-tation of fitness, may be danger sigtnals, but often there iB no warning.Somepeople must have fresh air. Intho war many migraine* subjects dur-ing their time in the trenches wereimmune from attacks. Eye-strain is anaccepted exciting'cause which needs nocomment. Tobacco may be a cause,also alcohol, and—which is interestingrr-some victims aro vulnerable to cer-tain kijyls of aJcohod and not tojothcfs." ,

LordTJirkenliead has promised theGovernment of Nev Zealand that hewill send a copy of the portrait of Fur-neaus, who was an ancestor of LadyBir-kenhead, states the News-paper."?- -'-"■- ; .:-

TobiasiFurneaux,-ason of Devon,whodied in 1781 at 46, was one of theminor giants of the eighteenth centurywho carried on . the old Elizabethantradition of war and exploration instrange seas in tiny English vessels.He became seeond-inrcommand to Cap-tain Cook, and sailed the little Adven-ture rojind.the world with him. LikeWilloughpy and Chancellor long before,the two heroes became separated dur-ing part"of the voyage, and Furneauxsailed fourteen hundred leagues alonebefore rejoining. Cook. He" afterwardsdrifted aitfay: from Cook again,- bring-ingb&fik a wonderful South Sea Island-er, the first of his.race ever io" enter theNorthern Hemisphere.- He yra.a the de-lightful Omfti, pf whom we read in theaccounts of Cook's last voyage. !

With Cook or -yyithput him Furneauxvpas ajl the time doing fine work in ex-ploration, in landing seeds,plants, andanimals among ptrange. island peoples;and later Cook found gay gardens thathis worthy comrade had 'established. Itwag Funieaux -ifho gave New Zealancl-her first pigs. :- :'' .' :■ ■-.;.

Buj; one of the most teii-jble trage-dies pf ail the great vpyage liefell Fur-'neaux. While he was at Queen Char-lotte Sound, New Zealand,:lie sent offa boat under a midshipman with acrew of nine men to collect vegetablesfor his ship. The: boot and the crewliover relumed. An expedition ashoretold with dreadful significance whathad happened. New Zealand, like somany other places of the peiipd, was aland of cannibals. $he very place whereFurneaux lajidgd his animals was nam-ed Cannibal Cove. Only grim, patheticrehes of his ten men remained to re-veal thq appalling .end which the poorsailors and their boy oflicer had metThe eannibajs had made a meal -of-them, ,

During his third voyage Cook wentagain to the Sound, where he had earliermade friends with; the'Natives. Now,thpnghyears had passed and theyknewand remembered him well, they wereter?#ed S$ meeting him. Their old«°s?4enee.wa« gone; nothing could lurethem pn board his ship. Thoy thoughthe had come to avenge the men theyha4pstga, TiieyrpmejnbßredFurneauxand his wrath. . '

They were romantiq flays, but be-neatb th§ iurfaee tragedy and horrorlay. Hunger, need,; warlike custom,even religion, all cpnspired to keepalivo the fearful practices that haySstained the record of every nation in itsinfancy. .Even.Cppk and his band ofpioneers, wlro went andfound, out theseterrible things, did not always escapethe hardships which" Made the island-ers cajfniljals.Cook himself, on the voy-age on which he lost Furneaux, was re-duced to what, for an invalid, amount-fid ftlfflijgt to starvation. He was sadlyMl, a$ death's door, pn,a wide and land-less stretch -of ocean. Only freshfood cpuld have hi< ljfo, and there was'MW in the ship; it had all been givento savages. Stay, there was one possi-bility. There remained a dog alive onbpard, The ship's doctor killed that,fed Cookwith broth made from it, andgsye him its flesh to eat. 'At home,pafd $heexplorer,. the thought of sucha meal would make men' ill, but;he ateit with thankfulness, and was cured.

THE YANCTSE

THE RIVJ3R OF FRAGKA^T TEA^-.'.' .V", ;,:;"'FIELDS.;' ...■■■'.. :

"It gives one asensation of grandeurand force. No other river can equalit in its majesty./ It is the artery ofa continent, and all the immensity ofl>h)na is revealed -in its proportions.Long after the boat leaves Shanghaione still believes oneself at sea, Tbobanks are jnvisible on either side, andonly the colour of the water, thick withalluvial slime, betrays the. river, thegod whq for thousands of years hasnourished tho swarms of yellowhuman-ity. £uch is the Yangtsc. Tho Chinesoknow it by many fond names, but thoeweetest appellation is that of theriver of fragrant tea fleWs.When the narrower bed is reachedand the earth and mountains appear,its stronger pnrrent, its incalculablevolume impress as much (writes T.M. inthe "Melbourne Ago"). The valleyoftho Yangtse is another Holland, onlyvaster, more intimately happy, a tab-leau of exquisite enchantment which isnever dimmed, Onejther side stretchesthe incomparable verdant land, gift oftho wators, -rich in products, a big, un-interrupted garden. JJoyer were therefields of such emorald green. A humidlight is caressing the landscape. Asubtle haze of vaporous air enwrapseverything and rives an inexhaustiblecharm to the most conr|tnonplace objects.Never was. there "such a silvery trans-lucency of atmosphere. Willows arerippling in the wind, the grey sky is■limned with shifting tints, the greymagically shaded, tinged, with blue androse and primrose, There are no crudehuos.' Anyone who has had the pleasureof examining old Chinese porcelainmust bo impressed with the .harmonysubtlety, and exquisiteness of its col-ouring. In the sldesabovo the Yangtseono finds the same colours. Might notthe old Chinese potters havo marvelledat the cplours ipf those skies, loved themso^well, taken pleasure in studyingthem, as. an astronomer studies starsand filchedIshbse very colours and inado'them liya again in their.porcelain? . Ihave heard artfsts give impression tosuch n view, and, having seen Chinesoporcelain and knowing the beauty ofthe Yangtse sky, I, too, must subscribe!to that theory, .

Tho exact length of the Yangtso hasnever be.en gome say it is3000 miles,:others put it at 2500. Itssource is in the far-away mountains ofTibet, and, following tho melting ofthe snows in the spring of the year,the turbulence of the river is unpar'al-led. The Yangtso is far above theAmazon in importance. The ocean tideflows up the river for 300 miles, andit is navigable for ?000 miles. Manyquaint p]d. towns and quainter villagesnestle on-its shores,and ever and anonono chances upon temples and pagodastowering on the rocks above its banks.Dangerous rapids are encpnntered atseveral places, but the Chinese fisher-man js as capable in shooting rapidsas the Red Indian. The menace offloodson the yangtse is ever present.Hankow in particular is always menac-ed. Colossaldykes hav.e-been- erectedbut the riêr refused to -be" bridled!Ten times inr twenty-five centuries ithas changed its course, and broughtdeath to millions. Tho floods of theMississippi, even cannot be comparedwith those of tho Yangtse. . ■ -.

In tho immense plain of the Yangtsethe heart of. China beats.. The floweryland, the wondrous sky, the broad riverall combine to make it *?a laud of theblest." Time there was wheD thishuge garden was alive with peace-lovingpeasants, whose only pleasure was thecultivating of their crops, who neverwandered far from their fields, andlived and died near, ..very,near, to theheart of Nature. The most beautifuland fruitful garden in the world hasnowbecome awilderness. The peasantshare been plundered .by marauding: sol-diery, or forced into the ranks of. thevarious factions. Junks, With 'theirpicturesque- sails, are seldom seen.Foreign warships have taken their postson the l-vier, Nothing is as it wasexcept the dreaming sky, with its shift-ing tints, whence old Chinese potterstook the »bionFs for their "jiorselarn.

The BookmanWILLIAM THE GREAT

(By "Ajax.»)The honour paid to William the Con-

queror or by his adopted country lastweek is to be repeated next month bythe country of his origin,and apparent-ly on a larger scale. The scene of thecelebration is to be Falaise,the prettylittle Norman town on the banks of theAute where he was born 900 years ago,and which after he had won the Battleof Hastings remained in the possessionof tho.-Kin,gs of England for nearlyfour centuries. Even on the Englishside the Hastings celebrations may bebettered at Falaise if the proposal toinvite the members of the Englisharistocracy wno are descended in themale line from, the Conqueror's com-panions-in-arms is carried out. The num-ber of English families entitled to berepresented will, according to the "Ob-server," be fairly large. The Earl ofHuntingdon, itr says, is the linea. qescendant of the Conqueror's steward.Viscount Hereford represents the fam-:ily of Deyereux, whose ancestors, hail-ing from Evreux in Normandy, cameover with William I. and were givengrantsof lands which have never beenalienated. Another name mentioned isthat of Sir George Beaumont. It is sur-prising to learn that many of us whodp.not.^belong to the aristocracy havereally jusfas good a right to an invi-tation as anyof these big-wigs.'""The number of actual descendants'of -William the Conqueror himself in■-■:■ England"must, says the "Observer,"{be exceedingly large. One authority,

/indeed, is of .opinion that the percen-.; r tagemightbe even' as" highas a quar-: ter of the present population.

As this country is more English, thanEngland' herself, and thereforepresum-ably more Norman, it must containmore than aquarter of a million of theConqueror's descendants. .-'. . If these250,000,count for 500^000 on a di-vision, cannot prevail on Mr. CoatesandJthe High "Commissionerto get;usour rights in the shape of invitationsto-; Falaise, it is. surely time for us 'toTote for' somebody, else. '

"We owe to Normandy,". says/CharlesH. Pearson, "the. builder,'the knight,the schoolman,and the statesman." Itwas the militarypower, of the Normansthat gave them thei chance of endow-ing a far larger country with all thesegood things,: and of/ doing ■there a fargreater-work than they had been ableto accomplish in their own. But in theabsence of any commensurate navalpower 'it } seems that caance: played alarge part in enabling William to gethis opportunity at Hastings. Haroldhad assembled at the Isle of Wight thelargest:army and navy that Englandhad" ever seen to meet the threatenedinvasion,but hunger and home-sicknesshad compelled him to'disband his forceswhile the Normans were weather-boundat the mouth of the Somme. The samewind which held ,lip:. William with his696 ships—the lowest estimate—andfighting men conjectured to number be-tween 10,000and 15,000,broughta! Nor-wegian fleet of 300 gaileys'to the Hum-ber. Harold raced northwards to meetth# invaders and smashed' them, atStamford.Bridge on the 25th Septem-ber, 1066. His return in advance of hisarmy waß hastened during its. conclud-ing stages by the news that Williamhad landed itv;Pevensey, on the,*2BthSeptember. Regarding 'the"march ofHarold's troops, Mt. Belldc makes aninteresting statement in his "Warfarein England-"

The mass of the army, he writes(whichwas of course on foot), afterthat fine,march of 200 miles in ninedays,.\covered the same distance' inthe same, time southward again, withthat great fight of : Stamford Bridgean between. The host was actuallymarching out of London upon Tues-day, 11th October. It is worthy'ofremark that no army in this islandhas covered such,a distance in sucha time since that date.

:.. Yet,' great ■y as these performanceswere, Mr;,Belloc calls the speed whichenabled Harold to have his men in posi-.tion before:the Normans on Battle Hillby the evening-of the- 13th Octoberastill greater? feat." The- army, he says,-had coverednearer 60 than 50 miles in forty-eighthours, and" that over worse countryby far than the great northern roadwhich had permitted'theirrapid dashto the^south; This splendidachieve-ment was, however, yet another causefor defeat. The drivers of the nor'them shirei could ;not follow so rapida march, ndr'had those ol" the west

'; come up when the'issue-was decided.It is beyond a doubt that' the betterteam won at Hastings, but it is alsoclear that the ,luck was against thelosers both on sea and on land. Mr.Belloc displays more than his usualcaution when ho says that"it is pos-sible that if the shock had come dur-ing those preliminary manoeuvres, aridif William had crossed in summer, thefirst decisive action mighthave favour-ed Harold." But could he havecrossedat. all? In the <'Political History ofEngland" Dr. Hodgkin takes a moredecisive view than Mr. Belloc.

■ ". The.delay of those summer months,:" during which invasion was impend-

ing from two quarters at once, was,he says, disastrous for England. . . .

.Had"William made his invasion then,; ; it may fairly be conjectured that he' would never have sat on the throne

\'; of England.

y Tier© is certainly no need, nor evenany excuse for sentimentalising overthe England that' lost the day, nordoes Dr. Hodgkin do so;^ As a matter;of fact,'there was no Englandyet,' northere any;prospect of its emergingfrom the petty-politics of the quarrel-some tribes. The century and a halfthat had passed since the death of Alf-red, had seen his great work destroyed.

■ It is enough to say, writes : Dr.";.'Hodgkin, that a great and grievous, transformation had come over the_ Anglo-Saxon character since the daysof Oswald, and even since tho days.of Alfred. The splendid dawn of, English and especially of Northunv:': brian Christianity in the seventh con/ tury had been early obscured. The;■■"" nation had lost some of "the virtue!", of heathendom,and had not retained. all that it had acquired of the vir-, tues of Christianity. Of its politi-, cal incapacity during the last cen-. tury before the Conquest is sufficient"" evidence,. .A tendency to swinish

self-indulgence and the sins of the.-: flesh in some of their most degrad-: ing forms had marred the national

character. There wasstill in itmuchgood metal, but if the Anglo-Snxon"was to do anything worth doing inthe world, -it was necessarythat itshonrd be passed through the fire andhammered on the anvil. The fire, theanvil, and the hammer were about, tobe applied with unsparing' hand bythe, Norman conquerors. ■'■/,.'.'■'

Under this rigorous treatment the oldmetal acquired a new temper, and anation was evolved which in the courseof a few centuries became- the greatestPower in the world. Writing apparent-ly; with his eye on Freeman and dis-senting from the view "that everythinggreat and good in; England is Anglo-Saxon in origin," ProfessorA. F.Pol-Jard writes of the country's needs asfollows:—'" ■'"".

England indeed was still in thecrudest stages of its making; it had

'■.■■*■ yet no law worth the name, nojrialby jury, no Parliament, no leal

constitution,' noj.effective army or, navy,; no universities, few schools,i hardly-.any,literature, and little,art.The very common'law of England,1 thesame authority points out—"commonbecause it admitted no local bars andno provincial prejudices"—was the out-come of the legal principles introducedby the Normans.

One -great stride, Professor Pol-lard proceeds, had been taken in themaking of the English nation, whenthe King's. Court, trespassing uponlocal popular and feudal jurisdiction.,dumped-upon the Anglo-Saxon market the following:among other foreign legal concepts—assize, circuitsuit, plaintiff,, defendant, maintenance, livery,possession, property, pro'bate,: recovery, trespass, treason, felony, fine, coroner, court, inquestjudge, jury, justice,, verdict, taxation, charter, liberty, representationparliament, and constitution. It ifdifficult to over-estimate the debt th<English' people owe to their power.lof absorbing imports. The verywatchwords, of-progress and catch. words of .liberty, from the trial byjury which' was ascribed to Alfredthe.

IN THE SOUTH SEASA TRADER'S ADVENTURES

DELIGHTFUL TRAVEL BOOK

"Life aa'd Laughter 'Midst the Can-■-.■ nibals." By C. W. Collinson,F.8.G.5., London: Hurst andBlaekett, Ltd. From Angus and

; Kobertsdn, Ltd., Sydney.The opportunity is notgiven to manymen to roam about the South Sea Is-

iands, and to still fewer is given theability to write of their adventures inthe attractive manner in which Mr.Collinson does. It was apparently justluck that took him in the first instanceto the SolomonIslands, but it was afortunate event for those who mustperforce satisfy their longings fortravel by reading the books of themore lucky ones. One must say at theoutset that Mr. Collinson had no hair-raising adventures amongst cannibals—■>nly once was he in danger of beingthe main dish of a banquet, and thedanger on this occasion was more ima,'inary than real probably. But he

■rod his companions in their trading ex-pedition had.in theIspace of a year ortwo more adventures than is the usuallot of a manV whole life. These ineluded a sojourn on a desert island,with but one tin of prawns as food,and many a like experience. AH theseMr. Collinson describes with a decided-ly humorous touch which makes thebook delightful reading. Incidentallyhe dispels the illusion that a whiteman's life in the South Seasis a lazyone. The men do not spend their timedrinking whisky and being made lovetobyunnaturallybeautiful native girls.The truth is that the white man in thotropics is as a gen-raJ'rule extremelyhard-working,and fairly moral.

THE MISSIONARY QUESTION.All Mr. Collinson's book is not on

the flippant and humorous side. He isa keen observerof nature and of nativelife, and mustbe listened to with re-spect when he {jives his consideredopinion on the missionary question."Only those who have actually livedthere can have any conception of; thetrue position," he truthfullyremarks.His conclusion is that "as a generalrule the net result of mission, teachingis to spoil an honest savage." If mis-sionaries confined their activities tostrict mission work, and less to tradingthe point—would be better, but such isunfortunately not always the case."Those who most closely confine theiractivities to their own proper sphereof religious instruction possess, in cor-responding measure, the affection andregard of the men who come into con-tact with them."

NAURU ISLAND.Of this delightfulbook not the least

interesting part is devoted to the valu-able Nauru Mand. As New Zealandhas a considerable interest in the phos-phate deposits found there, and as thevalueof these deposits was made knownU the world through the agencyof aNew Zealander, these chapters havean added interest to people in the Do-minion. '.'.'.It is with regret that one lays down

the book when the author has returnedto England and civilisation. One wouldlike to' hear more of his companion,.Mr. Phybus, or Pye, whose one and onlysimple conjuring trick was enough tomake him a denii-god amongst thecannibals. And of all the delightfulstories told in the book none can sure-ly excel that about the German spyand his series of remarkable adventureswhich culminated in his escape, fromEngland. Without its photographic il-lustrations-'.'Life and Laughter 'Midsttho ''Cannibals.-.would be one of thebest books of- its kind; with them, itis hard to think of one better.—H.W.M.

HENRY VAUGHAN

POET AND MYSTIC.

"Oii the .Poems of Henry Vaughan."By Edmund Blunden. London: B.Cobden-Saunderson.

Henry Vaughan, the Welsh poet andmystic, the latest of the so-called meta-physical school of the 17th century, wasdescribed by a contemporary as "aningenious person, but proud and humor-ous." . "His present game is one oftho best practical arguments that thegood thing is strong enough to passthrough all tho obstacles and shadowsof a period into a permanent and con-spicuous 'renown," says Mr. Blunden,and there .is small doubt that HenryVaughan is numbered amongst the im-mortals. ■■':'.:■ Before he becamo a phy-sician he and his twin brother address-ed some Latin verses of gratitudeto his tutor, and throughout:his lifeho expressed his thought and feelingspoetically. Extraordinarily narrow inhis outlook on some subjects, Vaughan,nevertheless,allowed his imaginationfull play, and there is no doubt thathis imaginative outlook upon Natureinfluenced Wordsworth. This: littlevolume endeavours to penetrate behindthe veil of Vaughan'a musings andthrows a flood of light on to the in-terpretation of his verso, being alto-gether a valuable little handbook on thowritings of this mystical popt.

INDUSTRIAL STRIFE

CHEISTIANITYTHE CURE."The Economics of the Kingdom of

God." ByPaul B. Bull, C.E. Lon-don: George Allan arid tTnwin, Ltd.

Father Bull, the well-known memberof" tho Inisfield Community of th Re-'surrection, has made a courageousat-tempt to solve the industrial problemsof our age. He shows that there is acommon mind throughout Christendomcondemning certain features of the pro-sent organisation of industry arid com-merce. His argumentsare supported bystatements culled from many schools ofthought. Ho is not afraid to call aspade a spade and to condemn with de-structive criticism the wagessystem asthe cause of class warfare. Neither doeshe spare those who say that tho Churchhas nothing to do with politics: "Tosay that the Church has nothing to dowith politics or economics is to ban-ish God from 95 per cent, of the lifeof man." Ho castigates many of hisown calling and in a fearless manner,after much destructive criticism, offersmany constructive suggestions for thecure of the world's industrial ills. Heexpresses the hope that Christians willbe'led/to/formulate a social conscience,and-that social reformers "will realisethat an increasing weight of Christianjudgment is supporting them.

''Life's What You Mako It." ByMiss Rosemary Rees. ' London:Herbert Jenkins,Ltd. -

Rich, young, charming, unspoiled bya somewhat fecklessexistence* yet only,half awnke to the serious possibilitiesof life, Candida comes with Lane Ful-lerton to New, Zealand for the fishing,asthey did the year,before, just as somany wealthybirds of passagedo everyyear. "Life's what you mako it,"says Candida, and she hat- found noreason to doubt it,'-but within twenty-'four hours her scheme of life is givena most romantically engrossing wrench,and the comfort of her butterfly exist-ence, :with a butler and grand piano inthe "shack" ceases. She is plungedinto the depths of; despair, and in theaumbness of her misery finds refuge inhard work, the last thing her friendswould have suspected her capable of.How wiser and more serious,yet in-finitely more deeply happy, Candidaemergesfrom makingthe best of a verybad job, is told with an imaginativeingenuity and literary skill which make"Lifi's What You Make It' thorough-ly . pleasant reading. There is amystery surrounding the old storekeep-er and his son, and the latter, a satur-nine, ■ reserved sort of a chap, . takesquite a big part in Candida's affairs.Charactersvividly created are Gwen,asoniGwhut. encarmined camp vamp,HenryMallard, a "sheep farmer by oc-cupation, but an angler byinclination,"Digby Ross, a neighbouring runholder(one of the "Dinks"), and a rascalswagmanwho figures strongly in theplot. The merry, thoughtless life ofsummer camps is well drawn, andthough tho authoress avoids long de-scriptions as she would the devil, thereare brief peeps that whet a desire tovisit the fishing lake of "Taranui"and the nearby Rotorua, the wonders ofwhich are touched upon. In this story,cleverly given a camp setting, there areproblems of life 1 that are 'to bo metanywhere, and they aro handled with asure deftness that hints of a thoroughperception of both the beauty and ugli-ness of life as it is lived to-day. It issoinothing to possess a native novelistwho,while making New Zealand attrac-tive to English readers,.doesnot .con-vey a false idea of the country and! itspeople.

IN SOUTH AFRICASPRINGBOKS ADVISED

"MUST BEAT ALL BLACKS"CHAMPIONSHIPTABLES.

SENIOR "A" GRADE.

The All Black is out for our■'. .scalp,''make no mistake about that,and will strain every nerve to getit. ■ Any excuse will merely con-vince him that the Springbok issuffering from cold feetThe foregoing is an extract from aletter penned by T. Piennar, who cap-tained the Springboks in New Zealandin'l92l, and published by "G.E.L." ina SoutL African paper. . The letter waswritten in response to a request foropinions, on South African Eugby inview of the visit of a New Zealandteam. The "eXrSpringbok captainstated:— ."A 'has-been' in any game,even al-though his retirement from active par-ticipation be of. comparative recentdate, always has to be particularlycareful in airing his views as to thepresent state of the game of which hewas a devotee,lest he be suspected ofglorifying, the past at the expense ofthe present.' ''ThatKugby as a thrilling spectacle

has,în,the estimation of the generalpublic, somewhat fallen from its highestate \cannot be questioned; but'whether this is due to actual deteriora-tion of the players in stamina and"football sensefis at least open to ques-tion. That machine-like precision of thethree-quarter line, thoaa glorious dashesof;the wings down the/touch-line, thosebursts down the centre of the'field,those skilfully executed cross kicks, allthese, 'tis true, are, to a large extent,missing to-day. But should not theseCharges be laid'at the door of the tre-mendous development that has takenplace in the science of the game? Mea-sures had to be evolved to counter-act the above. . What more natural,therefore, than to try to smother suchmoves at their very inception, i.e., atthe base of the serum? Hence to-daywe get .the quiet-breaking pack, andthat blight on'the game, the wing-fof-ward. The forward of to-day has cometo be regarded as the handy man ofthe tea'nii He must shove and hook inthe scrum, handle. and kick like anyback, cover the field to assist in the de-fence, and penetrate the enemy's lineas well. In a word,the modern forwardkills fully 75 per cent, of movementswhich in bygone yearscaused the thrillsOf the game.

"Forward: ;■ play, thon, has . been■brought to a.high pitch. What of thebacks? That their play, has been detri-mentally affected^by' this advance inthe forward game only stands to rea-son; to-daya back gets very little roomin which to operate. For this reasonI am very sympathetically inclined to-wards the new rule operating in Walesthis season, viz., that no one may ad-vance beyond the centre line of theserum until the'ball has emerged fromit. The old rule leads to lots of off-Sideplay, such as I saw in the Transvaal5last season during; the visit of the Com-bined. Varsities side, and as a natural.result,,to an involuntary,, solo perform-ance on the whistle on the part of thereferee. Result: Slowing up of thegame! I am. totally opposed'to theNew Zealand rule prohibiting kickinginto touch out of ona's own twenty-five (lack of space forbids my weigh-ing the pros and cons of . the matterhere); but I am convinced that theWelsh rule will go far towards solvingthe problem of opening up tho gameagain. :

Given the opportunity^ our backswill come into their own again. Our.full-backs are sound,our wings are ex-cellent-:—down Province way we have aVan Niekerk and a DeJongh, whileI saw some promising Ti'anßvaalerswhose' names I have unfortunatelyfor-gotten—our halves are O.K. Our oneweakness is at centre, and yet I sawsome very fine displays put up by thepair.of centres representing Border inthe last Currie Cup tournament. Forthis weakness, the wing-forward andthe quick-breaking pack are largely re-sponsible. The poor harassed halves getrid of the ball as quickly as they can,and the unfortunate centre is eitherbottled up,or bowled over before heknows what is happening. To circum-vent this, there is only one thing,todo, and that is to line back at a muchsharper angle from the scrum. Thiswould give the whole three-quarter linemuch more room, and would- obviatemany of those forward passes fromthe first to the second centre, as a re-sult of the former being. tackled andthe latter over-running his partner.This, alternated with the quick in-break; the break outwards (the opposi-tion being beaten by the pass of thefirst centre, and not by the man), thereverse-dummy of which Bennie Osieris ,a 'past master, or the short forwardpunt (which requires rare judgment),would improve bur centre play out ofall recognition, besides giving thewings more scope.

"On the whole, therefore, the' gamehas taken on a new lease of life. Thesmaller centres, e.g.,Border, S.W., Dis*triets, have revealed a satisfying in-crease of knowledge of the finer pointsof the game, coupled with an intelli-gent application of that knowledge.But, when all is said and done,the foun-dation of success in football lies infostering club football. In the West-ernProvince we had during'the last sea-son, some magnificent struggles in ourclub competitions,, games.which!couldnot but satisfy even the most captiouscritic. That kind of Bugger will govery far 1-towards assisting us in put-ting our house in order for the great1928 season, when the,struggle for theEugby crown of the world will befought out on African soil. '

"■"We can beat the All'Blaeks, whatis more, we must. But we must re-alise that we shall have to tackle thetask in grim earnest. Our dilatorymethods of selection must be aban-doned, as also our happy-go-lucky wayof assembling our Test and provincialsides two or three days before a match.Some amateur-run-mad will probablyfall foul of me for even daring to sug-gest a thing like this; but it is eitherthis or tamely saying to the All Blacks,'We. do not wish to be considered asserious competitors in world. Bugger;we are quite content tq. take a .hidingfor the mere fun of the 'thing;' weshall, thorefore, play you with practi-cally scratch teams in a friendly, hap-py-»jp-lup.ky spirit, and retire gracefullyin your favour.'

"Unthinkable, is it not? The AllBlack is out for our scalp,make no mis-take about that, and will strain everynerve to get it. Any excuse will merelyconvice him that the Springbok is suf-fering from cold feet!.. M@ttrete -ghat was goasibje £o Jha

We havethe physique,the spirit, the determination, the foot-ball genius; but, may I whisper, thequery to the 1928 would-be Springbok,will he have the necessaryform?"Old Boys Set the Pace.' Prom the kick-off Old Boys set tliopace against Berhampore at NowtownPark on Saturday, and thoykept thingsmoving at a fast rate. The forwardsworked well, and the rear division, par-ticularly in the first spell, gave quitea sparkling display. On Saturday OldBoys surprised oven the most sanguineof their supporters.

Berhampore were'surprised in the

early part of the game, but havingearned somewhat of a reputation as aseccnd-spell team, the Blues were expeertei to improve their position beforetime was called.-They failed, however,though they played their part in agood game. No doubt the severalpenalty goals that were missedat various stages Of the gamehad a disheartening effect on somemembers of the team. Pickering, whosegoal-kicking has played an importantpart in Berhampore's successes this sea-son, was not in goodform on Saturday.

He had the elevation all right, but thedirection wasfaulty. Pickering has putover some splendidpenalty goals fromwell out in: two or three matches thisseason, but against Old Boys, althoughhe made good attempts, his kicks allwent astray.

J. Lamason, Old Boys'..wing-forward,was not playing, on Saturday, ravingbeen transferred from Wellington toCarterton. Jones took his place, andseveral other younger players, who didwell, were called upon to complete the-team.

Old Boys' half-back, Sadler, a fourth-grade player of last season,-ismakinggood. He gavea fine display on Satur-day; he showed more confidenceand fedhis backs in expert style.At centre, Grenfell provided somesparkling pieceß of play, and played hisusual good andreliable game. Grenfollhad good support from Bushbrook andNixon. It was.Wixon's first game inthe Senior A grade,-and with a littlemore experience of senior football heshould develop into .a very useful five-eighths. The two "wingers," Bedelland B. Lamason, Were always sound."Malcolm/.the full-back, was in splen-did form; and never allowed anythingto bustle or confusehim. He had hisjkieking-boot" oil, too, for -he convertedfour tries &aakicked ft penaltygoal—11 points out of the total of 26 scoredbyhis team.Ward and Lang were the best of Ber-hampore's backs, and both requiredwatchingwhen the ball ame their way"Lang, although he, has played bettergamesthan he did on Saturday, was al-ways a thorn in the side Of the opposi-tion, and got Berhamporo cut of somedifficult situations . ;

M'Artney and Deere were the best ofthe Blue forwards. Charles and Pick-rang also showed up.well at times.«,** ??l w?a- a^sent oa Saturday, andtne_ lull-back, position was ■ filled bybcott, a former member of the Celticteam in Hawkes Bay.Petone v.

Just be-fore the end the referee,' Mr. j. B. Ben-son, ordered off a player from eachside:: i ,: ' : .'.-■'

The game wag' chiefly a tussle be-tween two evenly-matched' -and hard-working packs of forwards. At thecommencement the rearguard on eitherside made one or two very promisingmovements,, but thereafter the for-wards held sway, with the backs com-ing into prominence again towards theend. ";■„': ■ ,:■.

■In scrummagingwork the packs wereabout even, and managed to secure al-mo»t an equal share of the ball. Theadvantagein weight,however, went toAthletic, and when it came to an evenpush^hey generally shifted the hometeam. In the loose the honours var-ied. TTp to tho last twenty minuteseach side had in turn exhibited super-iority, but the final test fitness foundPetone superior. . ■. King, Carr, and Cameron were par-ticularly prominent among tho honisforwards, while Dickens did good workin the tight. ,'

Pope played an excellent gamo forAthletic at wing-forwafd, while Tyreo,Edgar, and Adam* also went well.The backs of neither side showedgreat ■attacking ability, but there weresome very attractive movementsthroughout the ,■game. The Petoneback-lino has' played better games.Coman again played a game particu-larly notable for its dofensive quali-ties, but the way he accepted Nieholl'spass and went 6ver for the final tryshowed that he is there in the attack-ing movements. , Nicbolls demonstrat-ed that his kicking-boot is not a thingof the past, his first two goals beingexcellent efforts, while he made twoor three fine attempts from the field.Kearns displayed real scoring qualities.

On the Athletic side Svensonplayedin both tho first and second five-eighthspositions, but was well marked. Heshowed, an inclination to undertake toomuch on his own, but his first-classform should be seen with a game ortwo. "Whinham played gamely, butwasbadly shaken by injuries. Ronbergshowed glimpses of ability above theaverage,while. Keenan played a safegame at full-back.An Easy Win.

Little exoiting football was witnessedat the match between Hutt and Orien-tal at Kelburn Park. TheOriental for-wards wero heavier-and constantly heel-ed the ball from the scrums. Hutt'sforwards showed an improvement ontheir previous game, although they didnot have much .suocosa in getting theball out to the backs. The Orientalbacks were superior, but often left theirpasseß too late. Passing rushes amongthe "suburban team were rare, andtheir tackling was poor. Berntsenplayed again in the forwards and Jar-man proved an efficientfull-back. Sund-green played a fine game in the for-wards, but lacks weight. Hester wasprominent in the three-quarter line. Wy-man played a splendid game as full-back for Oriental; his. sure tacklingandgood kicking were a pleasure to watch.Packnatz was a fast man on the wing,but he. was well watched. Allan andTownshend were -also prominent. Thetwo hookers, B. Smith and H. Smithwere very efficient. v Pringle was themost noticeable amongthe forwards.An Unusual Incident.

The game between Wellington andPoneke on Saturday was one of thefastest played this Reason. The pacewas on all the way, and the ball trav-elled up and down the field with amaz-ing rapidity. Thus there was alwaysincident to arouse the spectators, andperhaps the outstanding feature of thematch waß the final try gained by Po-neko. Stubbs, the full-back, attempt-ed to pot a goal. Tno ball.hit thecross-bar and bounced into play andWilson (not J. Shearer as previouslystated) pounced on it and went over.From the bank it looked as thoughWilson was offside, but the referee,Mr.E.. Perry, states that the ball toucheda Wellington player in its flight. Hadthe ball goneover, he would have ruled"no goal." The appeal by aWelling-ton player that tho ball had touchedhim backs up the referee's version.

The bout of .fisticuffs demonstratedby two opposing forwards during thegame would have brought the fancythat attend boxing tournaments to itsfeet.'

Bx>3fieJHjr waa thghflflt-ioßwardof the

two packs, but he was not far aheadof Voico, Wilson,and J. Shearer. Math-eson and Jessup were evenly matchedat wing-forward, although tho formerwas the speedier of the pair.

Johnson played a fine game, despitethe fact that he was well marked. Homade three or four splendid runs, andhis defensivework was sound.. Kilby showed a tendency to run fromthe serum with the ball when settinghis backs in motion. This, is a mostserious fault, and should not be foundin a first-class half-back.

Corless and Morgan, the Wellingtonwings, made three or four splendidruns, but they were not speedy enoughto break clean away.

Algar and'H. Tilyard were the bestof the Poneke backs. One of Algar'stries was the result of a brilliant runthrough a loophole in the defence. G.Nicholls was safe and his kicking wasaccurate.'Varsity and Marist.

Details of the Univcrsity-Maristmatch at Athletic Park have alreadybeen given fully in "The Post," andthere is little more to be said regardingthe run of play. It wa3 the type ofgame for which followers have longbeen waiting—fast and open. Marist,after their runaway win over Poneko,were expected to provide tough oppo-sition for the students,-.and.they did.But in essaying the open order theyfound that their speed was not up tothat of the University. 'Varsity'spacewas hot, and with it there was anamount of excellent combined work,some of it topped off by movementsof high class. Marist were not so suc-cessful at the open game, simply be-cause the ball was far too slow incoming through the inside backs. Theirforwards presented a greater danger,and for a time in tho second spell itseemed'that they would over-run thestudents. The latter, however, suc-ceeded in repeating the good forwardwork shown previously, and this plac-ed 'Varsity in, the position of givingfree play to a rearguard which takessome beating.

'Varsity's performance was brightand impressive, and Marist gave fur-ther evidence of their ability at a gamewhich is likely to upset the best ■ ofteams. A little more polish and Mar-ist would be tougher still. , ■

The outstandingplayer on the groundwas Ramson, the University , centre-throe-quarter. To the manner,in whichthis player made the most of work bytha inside backs ahead of him, Univer-sity owed their success. Ramson gen-erally took the ball at top speed, andeven so ho Was able to do ■side-step-ping and swerving without beingthrown out of his stride. Ho ,is a'' find.?' Mackenzie, as usual, playeda good, heady game,well fed by Leys,and well supported by Irwin. Maokayshowed dash and determination on thowing until he retired injured.

The University forwards worked verywell in the first spell, but appeared tobo off colour for quite a period of thesecond half. They all went well whenin proper action.

Marist's full-back,'Cuming,was verydisappointing after the good showinghohad made on the previous Saturday.The wing-threo-quarters not get theopportunities that were due to them,al-thoughBarry generallymade good wnettthe ball came his way. Condon, as ccn-tre-three>quarter, did not show up un-til Marist's forwards were holdingsway in the second spell, but Johnsonwas always nippy and quite the bostperformer, in Marist's.rearguard. Mur-phy-wasriot fast enough on attack, butwas of great service in defensivework.

Among tho Marist forwards M' Hardy(wing)' was a good leader in the looao,with Barry and Mahoney tho pick ofthe pack. HaU and Griffin showed upas place-kicks.

Bright Prospects.With an appreciable advance in the

stahdard- of local senior football and anumber of additions to the ranks ofpossiblo"representative players, Welling-ton's prospocts of an improved showingin representative) football this seasonare much brightor. For a timo it ap-peared that tho solo selector would bounable to find material up to require-ments so far as tho backs were concorn-ed, but now he appears to bo wellsupplied. .

W. Elvy's shift to Wellington makesanoutstandingwing-throo-quartor avail-able; Eamson's recent performanceshave brought to light another "star"three-quarter; and Svcnson'sroturn tothe game opens up possibilities of an-other position being filled morb thansatisfactorily. Svenson,Eamson, andElvy would make up a great threo-quar-tor line.

Then, for five-eighths, there are twoplayers tried and proved—Mark Nicli-olls and Lance Johnston; and to servethese backs there are excellent playersoffering in Kilby, Warwick and others.Among other players who have beenshowing splendid form as inside-backsare Mackenzie,Lang, and- Grenfell, thofirst two beingalso capable in other posi-tions. Love also must claim some at-tention, but, after the fine reports re-ceived when the Maoris returned fromtheir tour, it is a pity that h<r was nottried in the position in which he Wassaid to be outstanding, that of half-back. . '

■ There are other backs still, amongthem sonio senior B players. Batehe-lor, a representative back, from theWaikato district, is also in Welling-ton, and it is reported that E. Coup-land, from Victoria, may play in Wel-lington, if not in Christchurch.

Somecapable full-backs are offering,and there aro also the players who, ifplaced in that position, would no doubtfill the bill admirably. Not a few fol-lowers of tho game hold that MarkNicholls would be an ideal full-back,but, as ho has struck top form again,can, ho be Bpared from his usual posi-tion? Grenfoll had a great reputationas full-back at Wellington College, butsince playing for Old Boys he has hudto move up, as that team has been wellserved by Malcolm. Walters is backagain, and showing good form.

Reverting to inside-backß, anotherplayer has followed Svenson'ssteps inbreaking from retirement. This is F.Tilyard, Matters look very good so faras the back division is concerned,andfrom the forwards offering a fine packshould be got together, but it will behard to pick. .International Tours.

The desire of the Now ZealandEugbyUnion that the visit of.: the Britishteam to their country should take placein 1929 instead of 1930 as now arrangedis another indication of the vaiue placedon these international tours by the Do-minions (says "The Sporting Life").The only doubt whether their requestwill be favourably considered by theInternational Board 1 is the fact thatSouth Africa may desire to return tho: visit of tb« British team two seasonsagoin the same peiiod. At tho moment;there' are v number of these interna-tional tourg already ararnged. We visitthe Argentine in the summer; a fewmonths later Now South Wales will beplayed over here,and at the same timeNew Zealand visit South Africa. IfSouth Africa come to England in 1929and we go to Now Zealand the nextseason, there will have been an unin-terrupted series of gamesbotween vari-ousparts of the Empire for four years.Yet we still hesitate to give the Do-

jioger geßEeaentation.

KARORI LEADINGHUTT WELL BEATENCHAMPIONSHIP TABLE

SENIOR "A.

Although Hutt A has not so far re-gained the form which broughtit cham-pionship honours for three successive'seasons, there were manyof its support-ers who thought that the team wouldextend Karori Aon Saturday. Thattheir hopes were not realised can onlybe ascribed to the valiant work of theKarori halves andbacks. Hutt wag un-doubtedly weak, weaker than it hasbeen for a long, long time, ana it wasunfortunate,in meeting the Blacks whenthey were right on their game.Throughout the first, spell, the teamswere fairly evenly matched: if any-thing^ Hutt was slightly superior, theiiarori goal being subjected to severalhot attacks,.one of which was suceess-f,; ,A , 6rent stor7i however, wastold in the second half, which openedwith an inspiring run down the leftwing by T. Watchman. F. Thorpe turn-ed the attack at a critical stage, andHutt was enabled to take the ball up-field for its second, and last score.Thereafter, Karori was always in com-mand, and in a very short space oftime the Hutt defence was run off itslogs. Repeated attacks, originatingfrom skilful play by the halves,amongwhom the redoubtable "Kiwi" Perrinwas playing the game of his life,threatened the Hutt goal. Watchmanwas always prominent, and the twogoals with which he put the teams on1

lovel terms wore well placed. TheHutt men wero distinctly "bustled"and the barracking from the side-linesof a number of Karori youngsters didlittle to spur them on to do better.In this connection, it may bo well tostate that these boys were oven guiltyof hooting the riversiders at. times.That this shouia have been allowed wasthe one regrettable feature of the game.Eoberts, Karori's right Wing, electri-fied the spectators with a brilliant bolodash from the half lino to put Karoriahead, and B. Knowles placo'd himselfamong Karori ,'sbest forwards by scor-ing two goals, whioh had P. Atkinson!(Hutt's custodian) guessing. Karori'sfight to win after Hutt's lead of twogoals showed a remarkable team spiritwhich should' do a lot towards gamingtho team promier honours in- the Agrade.Wesley's Solid Position.

To have a penalty bullyin the circleawarded against him was tho experi-ence of E. Boys (Wesley A's goal-keep-er), in tho match with Wellington onSaturday. Boys fell in effecting a goodsave, and accidentally obstructed theopposing forward. Stuart, Welling-ton's centre, took tho bully and wassuccessfulin sending the ball past Boyginto the net, theroby scoring his team'ssolitary goal. On tho whole, Wesleyplayed a much more solid game thanWellington, and playin both spells wasmainlyconfinedto the latter's territory.E. Guy, in Wellington's goal, naturallycame in for a good deal of attention,and in the face of repeated attacks hoacquitted himsolf exceedingly woll.Early in tho first spell, Browne, ofWosley's forward line, sent.in a "trim-mer" head-high, but Guy just manag-ed to got in front of the ball andsend it over tho not. A minute later,Browne again threatened with a simi-lar shot, but this time Guy could notget across in time, and the leatherlodged in the top corner of the not."Guy had many other opportunities of-showing his skill, and he did well toallow only three other goals to be scor-ed. A decided thorn in the Wellingtondefencewas Chautrell, Wesley's usefulcentre-half, who recently acted as re-serve centre for England. His wrist-work in bringing about tho quiet push,shots in which he excelled was in strongcontrast to that of the local men, andmightwell bo copied with good results.His passing to the forwards and to hisfellow-halves undoubtedly added toWesley's success. Wesley, by virtueof this win, is now in second place,with 'Varsity, on the ladder, with sixpoints each,but the students have play-ed only four games' to Wesley's five.Karori A has a formidable lead of fourpoints over these two teams, und willtako a lot of catching.A CloseMatch.

A STRONG ELEVENNEW ZEALAND TEAM

FIRST TEST NEXT WEEK

It will be generally admitted that thesole selector, Mr. B. L. Salmon, hasdone his work well in selecting the NewZealand team for the first Test matchnext Saturday. He has evidently gonecarefully into the merits of the variouscandidates and the result is that he hasselected a first-class team which shouldgive Canada a great game, if it doesnot actually beat the visitors. '

In selecting M'Dougall as custodian,Mr. Salmon has been guided by the soleseleeter of the Canterbury Association,who states( that M'Dougall is in first-class form -this season. Those who sawthis player in action last year will re-cognise that that means a lot. He iscool and resourceful-,and should be amatch for the fast'inoving Canadianforwards. "

Anderson and M'Girr Bhould make astrong pair of full-backs. They are bothwell-known to the New Zealand publicas sound defensive players, and the ac-tion of the selector cannot be calledinto question.

The half line did not present the soleselector with very much difficulty, al-though the inclusion" of Store, as centre-half, will come as a surprise to many.He is stated to be a fine type of player,both in defence and in attack, andwith tho knowledge that Mr. Salmonhad, his action can be well understood.Stoere was strongly recommended bythe Canterbury selector.Tinkler, who replaced Baxter atright half, is a well-known Aucklandrepresentatve, and was seen in Welling-ton last season ill F.A. trophy maiches.Don Jones who will captain the sideneeds no introduction to the New Zea-land soccer public. He is a born gene-ral, and under.his guidance the teamshould do well.'

In selecting the forward line. Mr.Salmon has been influenced largely bythe sound nature of the . visitors' de-fence, and he has given preference tomen who can score goals. Inness, theright-wing, is a well-known playerwho has represented New Zealand pre-viously. Newman, inside-right, a Bul-lor player, who was in Wellington lastseason, is a great scoring man, and thefact _that he ..was.'not included in theWellington representative. eleven lastyear caused great surprise. It is report-ed that he is in good form this season,both from a.general point of view andfrom the scoring point of viow as well.Spencer, who will fill the importantposition of centre-forward, is anotherAuckland player who is reported to beat the top of his form. Mr. P. Nees-ltam, the Auckland sole selector, speaksyory highly of Spericer's play this sea-son, and ho also is enthusiastic aboutHislop, who will play inside to Spencer." Balk, the left-wing,, ig ,an Otagoplayer with a reputation backed up byexperience. He was a member of theNew Zealand team which visited Aus-tralia in 1923,and was one of tho bigfactors in that team's success. He! isfast, and has an accurate centre

The emergencies, . Braithwaite andM'Cormack, are both Otago men, but itis not likely that they will be calledon to play, as the eleven which hasboon chosen are all available." The fact that Wolington has securedono representative is not altogethersurprising, although on form againstthe Canadians, Bentley and Burke woro1

both worthy of trial. That Mr. Sal-mon has not choson any of tho Wel-llntgonforwards is not at nil surpris-ing. In fact, it is not likely that Wol-llngtonwill grim' a representative placo,in the forward lino in any of tho fourTests unless something happens in thomeantime to influencetho selector. W.Anton (Brooklyn) and Ballard(V.M.C.A.) appear to be the only Wol-lington forwards at present in tho fun-ning. Itis possible,that Wellington willgain more places in subsequent Testmatches,but much depends on the formshown by the team in the first Test.Shooting Still a Weakneso.

Marist were somewhat fortunate in.winning their way to the second roundof the ChathamCup matches by a mar-gin of two goals, for Diamonds had'every bit as much of tho play as theydid. Tho essontial differonce betweenthe two teams was that ono sot of for-wards knew how to shoot and tho otherdid not. So far as genoral play went,there was little between tho toams. In

.fact, in the early stages of the match,Diamonds wereplaying a really attrac-tive game,their passing work being ad-mired on all sides. For a time Marißtwere nonplussed, especially when Dia-monds were tho first to score. ThenMarist had one of those glorious tenminutes, which como so rarely in foot-ball. Playing with machine-like preci-sion,Marist swept all bofore them, andin tho short space of ten minutes'—if itwas not actually less—they put on fourgoals. This was tho turning point oftho game,for Diamonds were never thesame again. They justmanaged to koeptheir end going and that was all. Mar-ist woro without the services of Marsh-inent, who wai being spelled, and Popotook the centre-forward position, Con-don going to insido loft. The new com-bination worked well enough,but Mar-ist would be well advised not to go toofar in their policy of spelling players.Changes, however small, often -upset awhole side. Barton played with some-thingliko his old dash on Saturday, andone or two of his shots from tho wingwere real "stingers." Burke wa* againin good form, and Fitzgerald, at full-back, kicked with'better judgment. Achange was also made in the Diamondsforward line, Hearne comingup to cen-tre-forward. Hearno played with greatdaßh, but he has yet to learn the gentleart of shooting. Of the other forwardsSmith vfan outstanding. R. M'l/epdplayed much below his usual form.Thistle in the Ascendant.

Brooklyn last Saturday, when meet-ing Thistle for tho Challenge Cup, prov-ed to be a very unequal combination,and quite inferior to their opponents.Wore there more players of the calibreof W. Anton and Brown on the sido,Brooklyn would be a great team, but,unfortunatly, the support that thosetwo outstandingplayers receive is hard-ly adequate, and Brooklyn fail whenup against good opponents. They,however, fought valiantly on Saturdayat Wakefield Park, and the fact thatthey scored three goals showed thatthoy were not altogether at sea. Thesomewhat alispacg ficpundat frfanes saa_

instrumental in spoiling good football,but Thistle gave a bright exposition ofthe game. Occasionally the forwards,in view of the comparatively weak op-position, were too much inclined to ex-ploit individualism at the expense ofcombination, but on several occasionsthe forwards, ably supported by 'theback division, indulged in spectacularand :clever passing bouts, sweepingthrough the opposition in great style.Lothian was very prominent in thesegoal-getting expeditions; ho is certain-ly a forward of outstanding merit. An-other outstanding forward in theThistle team is Logan; ho is fast, has apowerful and well-directed kick, andcan put in an execlent corner shot.Thistle are undoubtedlya much improv-ed team; when playing well togetherthey will bo a hard' team to beat, al-though their back division, perhapsdoes not rise to the same heights as theforwards.A Past Wing.

Y.M.C.A.'s fast wing operated with.marked success in the Chatham Cupmatch against Swifts at Keiburn Park\when Young Men finished winner* by8 goalsto nil. Thegamewas one-sided,but was played by Swifts in a sportinffmanner. They were, howeverV <iom-pletelyoutclassed by the fast V.M for-wards, of whom Ballard, on the wingwas-most prominent. The forward linejustswept down on to tho Swift goaltune and again, and the defence of the "weaker team was totally inadequate tostop the rushes. On the other handwhenever Swifts did get away, thoyfound the Y.M. backs—M'Girr andPrince—quite safe, and if the ball didget past them, there was always3ent-ley to reckon with.A Thrilling Game.

A thrilling gamewas provided at Sea-toun, when Institute were beaten by thesuburban team by tho odd goal inthree. The openingstages of the gamewere disappointing, but after Seatounhad scored about half-way through thefirst spell, interest, quickened. Sea-toun managed to hold Institute for therest of that spell, and no further goalsware scored. The second half promis-ed to be better, and so it proved. In-stitute set off at a great pace, which,however, aid not last long, for Sea-toun, soon evened play. Institute de-cidedly had the best of things in thesecond half, but in spite of that theywere beaten right on the call of time.Institute were certainly not favouredby fortune, when, after having heldSoa.taun, theywore defeated. Their ill-lueic was accentuated by the' fact thatthey did not have opportunity to evenmatters. ■■'""-

Although the game was keenly foughtthere was little scientific football. Theabsence of goodfootball was more thancompensated for by the spirited man-ner inwhich the game was fought.Seatounare certainly fortunate inWyatt, their goal-keeper. He has anice style, and he saved his side bril-liantly many times. He is a goal-keep-er of whom more will probably be heard.Duffill and Grimstone made an idealpair of full-backs, and Duffill parti-cularly was successful in saving hisside from awkward positions. Grim-stone was sound, also, though he didnot show to the extent that his part-

ner did. ■'":■. . ■

" Kershaw was the most prominent ofthe halves, and throughout the game■worked in an able manner. Murie wason his left. He worked nicely, butspmetimes was far too slow in gettingrid of the ball, thoreby losing ground.Seatounfielded a strong forward line,the centre and inside men of whichfilled their places with most credit.Saunders and Smyth, the wings, weredisappointing. The only centre fromSmyth that brought results was theono he gave Telford at the ond of thegame, and which enabled the latter toscore. Most of Smyth's passing wasloft too late, and his shots-accordinglywore weak.

Tarrant, in goal for Institute, wascalled on a great deal. .Ho was notup to his usual form, and had he beenplayinganything like his best he Would:not have allowed tho leather to passhim on ,tho second occasion.

Gill and Coruna were thebut did not make as good a pair astheir opponents did.

Bihg, Jefferys, and Miller made uptho half-back '. llho. Jefferys provedhimself a tireless worker,- though hoadopted a wandering commission in thosecond half.

Institute's Strength was in their for-ward Hue,of which Dickinson was thecentre. Ho and May, the inside mnn.worked well together, and their, com-bination was a feature, of the game.Haddocks, who was plnying at insideright, was not the success that hemight have been. He lost many oppor-tunities when in front of the goal.Bilby and Smith, the wing men, ac-quitted themselves with merit. Smithwas decidedly off his game in the firsthalf, but in the second spell playedwith dash and judgment. He sent insome nico centres, which kept Tarranton the alert. ■ "

Had the game lasted a quarter ofan hour longer the scoreprobably wouldhave been different. Seatoun playedwell, but they had luck with them.After the MatcH. .If a player makos insulting roinarksto a refereeafter the gameis over, hasthe local Management Committee anypower to punish him! This was a ques-tion that was debated at the weekly

meeting of the WellingtonFootball As-sociation this week. Tho matter arosoover the report of a referee concerningthe ordering-oft the field of a Brooklynplayer for questioning the referee's de-cision after having been cautioned.The player said he did not hear thereferee's warning. Ho wag cautioned.This incident evidently started troubleamong the supporters of the BrooklynClub, for the referee complained thaton his way to the dressing sheds afterthe gamewas finished, he was subject-ed to insulting remarks from anotherBrooklyn Club player. On leaving theground, he had to pass players and sup-porters, and was again subjected to re-marks by the player who had'previous-ly used tho insulting language. Whenasked for an explanation by the Man-agement Committee, the player said thatsince the words complained of Wereused after tho game, ho did not con-sider that he came under the jurisdic-tion of the referee or of the W.F.A.His view was supported by on<j member6f the Management Committeo, whosaid he agreed, since if they were go-ing to puniah anyone for objectionablebehaviour after a match, they weretaking over the' powers' of tho civilauthorities. After discussion, it wasdecided to charge the player under,rule23, which stated that the ManagementCommittee should have power to sub-pend for such time as it saw fit anyclub, team, player, official, member, orpersons who mightbe guiltyof: (1) Ob-jectionableor improper behaviour dur-ing or in connection with any matchunder the auspices of the association;and (2) such other acts ag in theopinion of the Management Committeeshould constitute misconduct. Afterconsiderable discussion,it was decidedto suspend the player,for two playingSaturdays.

| Refereesand Bules.To teferee in any match is not a veryenviable task, and tho thanks of theplayers are due to th<we who undertake

ree will please everybody and will nottry to. The remarks of spectatorsneed not be considered, and the playersshould not disputetho referee's rulings.But referees should make themselvesthoroughly conversant with the-'rulesbefore,sallying forth with the whistle.In one of Saturday's matches a refereegave a free kick for a playerbeing off-side from a throw-in, whereas law 6 oftherules of Soccerexpressly states thatno player can be offside from a throw-in. This incident did not affect theresult of the gamo in any way, :but itrather undormined the faith of thoplayors in the referee. Befereeing is athankless task; a good referee makesall the difference to a game,and more,than one game has been spoilt by anincompetent referee. . . ;

Canterbury Wins.Canterbury won their first intorpro-yincial match of the season by dofeat-ing the South Canterbury representa-tives by 5 goals to 1. Two ex-'Otagoplayers in Gwilliam and J. Drydenplayed for Canterbury. Commenting ontheir play, the "Christ"church Sun"states: "Betweon tho sticks Gwilliam

showed that he runs the usual Canter-bury goalie, Jim M'Dougall, very-closein coolness and anticipation. He hasa safe pair of hands. The halves werea formidable trio. M'Dougall on theright, Roberts, centre, and Dryden, thecx-Otago representative, on. the left,■were the barrier that broke up theSouth Canterburyattacks. Tho accur-ate placing of the halveswas pleasing.'.'Variable Weather. .'■'"'v"':i

The touring Canadianteam, is exper-iencing decidedly variable weather, andtheir latest experience in this respectwas their gameagainstBuller last Satur-day. The visitors won by 2 goals tonil, and on the face of it the scoredoes not appear very creditable to theCanadians. However, the conditionsunder which the game was played hada great deal to do with the score.-According to a Westport paper, theweather could not have been'worse,thoground On which the match Was*playedbeing almost under water. In"fact,'the playingfield was describecTa*hav-ing been more like a lake than a foot-ball field.

HORTON'S GOLF;IS IT AN AUGURY?

GENERAL NOTES

The fine golf played by Horton iaJsyaney, in matches where tho strainmust have been immense,settles verydefinitely any question of hia temporalmental qualifications for the highesthonours of the game,and the confidenceand experience, to say nothing of thesteady play over a long period againstgolfers of the biggest caUbre, shouldstand him in-good stead in the Domin-ion championships in September. Thereare very few men in his own club atMasterton who can give him a gameworth while, and nonoof them, excepttho professonal M'lntosh, who couldconsistently challenge him. It must notbe forgotten that Horton is one of thefew farmers who play the game withdistinction in New Zealand, and on hisfarm he does a vast amount, ot solidwork. That he finds time to get inenough practice, is wonderful, and hecertainly, does not get in; as much asother eminent New Zealand players. His72 against Bussell must have been awonderful round, and the exit of thelast New Z'ealander from tho New SouthWales amateur championship was tome-thing we have every reason to be proudof. He must have been putting bril-liantly in the morning, but after beingrobbcd

jof a win by a stymie at theeighth inthe afternoon,his putting touch

seemed to desert him for awhile. Nev.ertheless,when 4 down and 6 to play,he won two holes, halved the next, andwon the 1next, reducing the lead of hisopponent to lup and two to go. Atthis critical stage of the thirty-six holecontest, his ball moved when' he wa»addressing it, and he lost 2 and 1: ''Macfarlane has-proved very erraticând Boss, for some reason, has Hotplayed so well as he did Oil his lastvisit to Australia.' " '

A." D. S. Duncan went down to oneof the best golfers in Australia afterabrilliant morninground of 35, which Ifrepeated would almost certainly haveassured him victory, but 36 holes a dayin strenuous golf .is'somewhat of astrain for a golfer Who Won the NewZealand amateur championship thirtyyears ago, and the falling-off in theafternoon is quite, a natural sequence.Duncan is one of the finest putters inNew Zealand when on that club, butwhen he is off it, he is often very muchoff it, and this appears to lave been thetroUblo this time. Quin's Sprainedwrist is regrettable; but after all, NewZealand has won the first Kirk-Wind-eyerCup, and the president of the NewZealand Golf Council wili have^ the sat-isfaction of seeing the fact, engravedupon that fine'trophy, for the contestof which,ho waß the promoter. ... .Sydney Press Comment

Aniongsttheremits to the New ZealandRacing Conference was one sponsored bythe Canterbury Jockey Club/ that clubswith classic races should not be permittedto race.on the same dates except on theoccasion'ofa national holiday. This wasrecognised as aneffort to compel the Auck-land Racing Club to alter its spring datesso that they would not. clash with theNew Zealand Cup Meeting. It is pleasingto note thatbetter counsels haveprevailedand the remit has been withdrawn. Dis-cussing this matter with an experiencedracing official recently, the latter depre-cated the tactics of the C.J.C.in attempt*ing to force the issue with the Aucklandbody. He suggested that if representativesof the C.J.C. visited Auckland and dis-cussed the matter with the executive ofthe Auckland Racing Club, no doubt anamicable arrangement could,be made. Itwill be agreed that a quiet discussion be-tween the parties concerned is more likelyto bring about nappyresults than any at-tempt at force.At present.'the .C.J.C. haseverything to gain and nothing to lose byobtaining the good?will of the all-powerfuland wealthy Auckland Racing Club.

THE TWO THOUSANDCOMMENT OX THE FIRST OF

THE CLASSICS

Following is some comment from "Sport-ing Life" on the race for the Two Thous-and Guineaslast month,in which Adam'sApple narrowly defeated the -eventualDerby -winner; Call Boy. ■

Interest in the Two Thousand wag suchthat the paddock Was aS thronged as on aCesareWitch day, when the . high-watermark of a Newmarket atttendanco is usu-ally reached,while the top tier of thenew and Spacious sta£d Was on immenselypopular 'vantage point. .

The day, too; developed favourablyfroma threatening-morning,while if Call Boyhad scored the all-important notch at theend of an excitingrace success of the cele-bration would havebeen complete. For itis a favourite'sVictory which imparts ihefinishing touch to such an auspicious occa-sion as this, and Mr. Curzbn'scolt was the<

choice of the majority.Sentimentmay have been closely nßSOci-

ated with this mark of esteem which thepublic thus conferredupon him,but thereiwould also .be a vivid recollection on thepart of many present of the stormiugman-,ncr in which he.had rescued a one-timeseemingly hopeless positiott 'here lastOctober. :

IN THICK Of FIGHT.Oncemore he was in the thick of the

fighting, this time from the' first, stride,and until just about the last, one hiswas a winning fight,'but Adam's Apple,who had been near him. throughout, madea gradual but distinct impression on himup the final hill.

Elliott thoughtCall Boy had just lust'ed home,and had the courageouscolt hada lace of even anykind it is possible thuthe would have dona bo, for an idea gain-"1ed when the! leading division returned tothe paddock is that he moi'o so thlln thewinner stood in need of the afternoon'sexperience.It has to be remembered,of course, in

this Connectionthat Adam's Apple hadnothad colours onsince his,ill-starred visitto Newmarket in Cambridgeshire week,,when isoine mysterious ailment reducedhim almost to astate of collapse. He wasnow only hopefully regarded, well thoughhe looked,yet he was not wanting eitherin respect of initial speed or courage,andon the latter score he may have agreeablysurprised his connections.

LIKE HIS SIRE.In make and shape he and Call Boy ai'e

strikingly dissimilar, the latter being thestockier and more powerfully-built, yetAdam's Apple recalls his sire, l'ommem,in contour, and I remember that at thecorresponding age Pommern was voted tooepiry to be a really good one. As eventsfell out, however,he was in a lightyear,and none of his contemporaries Was ableto blunt his speed, no matter What thodistance. - .- I fancy, however,,that his son, Adams'Apple,will ifind his lines cast in less plea-sant places when tackling his next classictest. Sicklo Will be a stiff obstacle forh;in to get over at Epsom. (Both Adam'sA*pple and Sickle wei'e unplaced in thoDerby) Lord Derby's cheery plug camsstrongly into the limelight, but just toolate to secui'6 tho applause Of the house.Yet in the paddock the owner looked asdelifrhted as though the prize bad gohe to

■Stanley House.. There was fio suspicion ofexcitability attached to him now in thepreliminaries. He was just Iresh and onhis toes during parade time, aud went tothe post in jauntyfaehion.

Such Bprightllne&j la, after all, onlychuil-acteristie of his line. After the race howas as cheery na ever, sweating a little,but otherwise showing'little evidence ofhaving had Va hard bout. Sicklo had towork for his'corn. This third encounterbetween him and Call Boy discovered thopair to be at close grips, as oh the twoprevious occasions, with this difference,that it.was now Sickle'sturn to have tomake up leeway.

UNDER PRESSURE.CallBoy had the foot of him quite early,

and beforereaching the top of Bushes Hill,or between two and three furlongsfrom the fiii'sh, Sickle was being putunder top pressure. At that point noth-ing was showing qtiite bo much of a win-"ninp; flag as wag Call Boj-, nnrl lie hadalready silenced Damon, who had beenridden hard fully v furldng before.

Applecross was also labouring tint! beet-en. Of the prominent candidates,indeed,Applecross was the first to be showingdis-tress signals. The breeze being astern, the

conditions were cased to his supposed in-firmity, but he never really flattered.

On the way to the start he gavea leadto Sickle,who, while his stride was ap-preciably the shorter, showed still asmoother one, and I expect it was thesame during the early stages of the returnjourney, on which, however,the longerreach of Call Bay, Hot Night, and Adam'sApple had for close on six furlongs en-abled them to draw well ahead of Weston'smount. ,

But at the end of the seventh the little'un had taken closer order, and he be-came challenger to:Call Boy and Adam'sApple as these were in the midst of theirhead-to-head struggle. A magnificentefiort\came a second too late.

DONOGHUE AT EPSOMHIS GREAT RECORD

StephenDonoghue has such a wonderfulrecord on the Epsom course that prior tothe Derby the Special Commissionerof theLondon "Sporting Life" set it out for hisreaders,and1 it is reproduced here. Itis known that the champion jockey failedto get into a placeinthe Derby this year,'but no news is available concerning his for-tune in the OakStakes.

AUCKLAND'S MOVE

RISKY CONTESTS

THIRD RATERS ENGAGEDSomeassociations deserve to ■ lose

money,and it is evident that Auck-land will. They have matched FrankTaylor, /the New Zealand " amateurchampion, with Kid Delaney over tenrounds and an Australian named EmMack and Brpadfoot, formerly ofWaihi, over a similar distance. Thelatter pair are middleweights. Mackand Broadfoot are but third raters, andthey too. areâbout the Australian pre-liminary standard. Taylor has ex-cellent credentials as an amateur, buthis professional reputation is yet tobe. However,he should easily accountfor Delaney unless the latter has im-proved considerably since Tommy Grif-fiths made a chopping block of him.Delaney did a work out before theWellington Association recently, andfailed to impress ■■- the match-makershere. One of those who saw the exhi-bition considered that he would getnothing more than ,a preliminary inAustralia. If . Auckland is payinging £10 apiece for the contests, welland good, and charging one shilling ad-mission, well and. good; but there isa likelihood of such a bill sickeningthe fancy. Auckland would have donebetter for themselves if ■ they hadbrought together a pair of well-knownfeathers and a pair of welters. Thereare several good men offering their ser-vices in New Zealand at present, andthe Northern association could easilyhave adopted Wellington's attitude ofplayingthe safe and sure game instadof speculating. It might be said thatsuch a programmeis Auckland's picnic,and not Wellington's quarrel, but whenoneu association make fourand loses then the others suffer.Squires for Australia.

Johnny Squires, South Africanchampion, and twice conqueror . ofGeorge Cask, is now on his way toAustralia, under contract with Sta-dium's, Ltd. 'Australia just now is not very wellserved with heavyweights*-but no doubtSquires will find plenty to keep him;busy in Walker, Payne, and Williams.Em Baxter Again.

In his last fight in New . Zealandagainst Charlie Purdy, Em Baxter,who is one of the few to score a vic-tory over BillyGrime, b.roke a rib, andhe has since been out of the game.Baxter's injury has now mended, how-ever, and training has shown him sowell that he is looking for a chance to"come-back." . .-..Dunedin's Big: flight.

Dunedin is.in for a big night on the£4th of this month, When two starbouts will be staged. In the firstHarry Gunnwill oppose Johnnie Leckie,this being the latter'b first try-out inthe professional/ra.nkß. The secondbout will be between Tommy Griffithsand Hector Leckie. Hector is a broth-er of Johnnie,who created such a fav-ourable impression at the amateurchampionships in Napier. "Kapler Association.

Tho.Napier Association, heartened bythe success which' attended its lasteffort, is making an effort to stage an-other double-star bill at an early date(states an exchange). The attractionwill bd two ten-rounders, but the prin-cipals have notyetbeen decided. Afterthe last experience, it seems that thetwo tenTbund contents are popular■Vvith the public, but. the associationmust not lose sight of the fact thatthe big crowd which attended was atribute to thd popularity of the boysthemselves,and in the selection of thenext lot of contestants care wfll be

Heeded in choosing only those who arecertain to prove a good draW. NapierEndeavoured to secure tho services ofNorman Badford (English' feather-Weight), who won seventeen successivecontests in Australia, but that boxer isnow on the way fioinb.Napier's Nert.

"Duke Maddox found that he wasunable to getaway to Auckland to fightthere this month, and it is probablothat his next appearance will bo in'N-apier, about 20th July," states a, Na-pier writer."Who his opponent will be has notyet been decided,but it may possiblybo Tommy Griffiths or JohnnyLeckio."To the writer's mind, Griffiths wouldbe tho hotter draw, with Maddox, anda bout between these twt^ whether itbo for the title or over only a ten-round course, would bo well worth stag-

ing. Thcro are a number of enthusi-asts m Napier who hold that this wouldiV0tAcra,?00d contest, on the groundsthat Maddox would be strong.and toorangy for Griffiths. Those who arguothis way should remember thai: Griffithshas a win 0%-er Marry Guhn to hiscredit, and if Gunn and Madrtox werereckoned to be agood match there is horeason why the samo argument shouldtoot apply to Griffiths and Maddox. It

tec lias also recently decided that thoStitched ball bo dropped for tho New/Soalamlmeeting, as, although it couidbo usecj this yoar, it must be discardcd next year according to tho federa-tion rules. Tho KH. Ayrcs "OS"stitchlcss and plugless ball has beenadopted for tho next New Zealandchampionship meeting. It is a chemic-ftlly inflated ball, ami-was largely usedm Great Britain* last year at leadingtournaments. According to tho federa-tion rule no mako of ball can be adopt-ed unless it stands up to the followingconditions:—"Tho outer surface of theball shall bo smooth and without Stit-Chcs. Tho ball shall .bo more than 2$inches in diameter, and less than 2 8-8inches in diameter,'and' lflOro than 2ounces, and loss than 2 1-10 ounces mWeight. It shall have a bound of morethan 53 inches and less than 68 inches.when dropped 100 inches at .1 tciil*jperature approximating to 68 degreesFahrenheit upon a concrete base, anda deformation of more than .290 of aninch and less than ,315 of-an inch whensubjected ,to a pressure of 181b appliedto each end of any diameter at a tern'peraturo approximating to 68 degreesFahrenheit." Balls are now---beingpacked*under pressure and hermeticallysealed in metal tubes. The balls arepacked tliroo to a tube, and into thistube is forced air pressure equal t'jthat within the balls. This preventsloss of inflation, and the ball wiir aftera voyago to Now Zealand be as freshas when nlado. Until tho metal tubesarc opened the balls retain their-liveli-ness, inflation, rebound, and flexibility,and being hermetically sealed thoy can-not possibly go soft;' ih fact, no de-terioration is possible. Dealers, Clubs,and associations can, under tho newmethod of sealing, order full season.-!supply without any risk, at;least thatis what is contended for the newmethod. It appears to be up-to-date,and players in New Zealand no doubtwill test for themselves. *Malcolm Young, who went to Eng-land before his brother Bttssell, was amost promising pittyef before leavingNew Zealand,but little has been heardof-his tennis doings at Oxford Univer-sity. It is interesting to hear that hehas not given up the game, for heplayed for Oxford University PenguinsV. Mr. J. AY. Olmstcd'g VI., and Youna;boat C. M. Melville, 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, andwith Etlcticott defeated Jenkins andCampbellRodger, 6-3, 36, 7-5.is pretty certain that Griffiths would boabetter match for Maddoxthan Leckie,

for despite the latter's speed and clev-erness as an amateur he has had noprofessional experience, and profes-sional boxing against an artist of thecalibre of Maddox is very differentfrom the amateur business. It is quiteon the cards that Napier will again%°v\ the double star bill, and Haywill likely be one of the principals.Harry Casey is spoken of as his oppon-ent, but this may yet fall through andanother be selected."SamLangford.'

Sam Langford, now nearl,- blind,was given a benefit recently in New"nn'^? prOfits runninS «*<>■ about5000 dollars. The New York StateCommission, with the best intentions inthe world, decided to husband thismoney,paying Sam at the rate of 75dollars per month; But Sam decided hewanted all his money at once Thecommission said "No," but Langfordevidently made himself so much of abother that the fund will be paid over.Langford explained.that he wanted tobuy a farm, but, since he is reportednearly blind, and also since he hasnever been a farmer, it is hard to be-lieve he will make a success out of theventure. Now the commission heads,irritated, declare theywill haveno moreJ?,d° Wlth any efforts to aid the negro.A fighter of the type of SamLang-ford, ' remarks an American writer,requires the same treatment as achild."Title Forfeited.

The British Board of Control, at arecent meeting; decided that ElkyClark, flyweight champion of England,and holder of the Lonsdale Belt, hadforfeited the title, on the ground thathe had not defended it within reason-able time. London ."Sporting Life"considers the decision extremely harshin view of the fact that Clark has beenUnable to box owing to an accident toone of his eyeswhich occurred durinehis fight for the world's title with LaBarba in New York. "Clark, as theresult of injuries and operations to'hiseyes, saysthe paper mentioned, "willnot be able to box for a long time,and if the Board of Controlhad stoppedshort at the calling of the Lohsdaiechallenge trophy they Would have gonefar enough in the opinion of most pecpie.

Music from the Disc

"Messiah" Numbers.' Thereis an inescapeable charm about

music well sung. In recent', months there have been quitea numberof really excellent achievements in this,;,branch of recording. One of the most;'striking of recent times is, of course,;the Koyal Choral Society's "And the.Glory of the Lord—"Amen Chorus"bracket from the "Messiah." "Belov-jed the Lamb of God"—"HallelujahCnorgs;" fron>the same immortal work.tie Triuitv flhojr has given us a goodmoderate pricedrecord of the "Hallelu-

Inlighterchoral; work of a religious character tho Ji.secontainingthe impressions'of the sing-ling of the choir of. the Chapel Royal inthe beautiful "O Love That. Will Nutj.L'etMe Go," and the inspiriting ["Ov:ward.Christian Soldiers." On the secu--,lar side, what: could be sweeter than'the GreshamSingers' "Meeting of the■ Waters" and "The Shepherdess/: tho"Peerless Quartette's "Good-night;'? or,<the ShannonQuartette's "Carry M?jBack to Old Vjirginny," on the samp;disct And this is to say nothing ofnumerous concerted vocal recordings in-the field of light and grand opera.Emperor Quartette. "\. Quartette in G Major Emperor[Quartette)-, Hadyn. flayed by the Lon-don String Quartette.. Though the,musical taste of the present generation-Jseems to move more .and more towards,jover-complication, it is.illuminating tonote that the : popularity of, Haydn hasnever .once-been ■assailed,"-and isstronger to-day than ever'it has been.And yet Haydn's /work is fundament-ally the'most simple of any great"music It is,-however,a.simplicity thatnever grows threa'dbare—itn. exquisitelycharming simplicity. Thß EmperorQuartette derives its name "from thefact that Haydn based it-'upon the Aus-trian National Anthem ("GodPreservethe Emperor"), which he had composedjust before. He. was so-fond-of thetune that in his last days he played iton the piano when he' scarcely had■strength to move from.his bed. It.col-.ours the whole quartette, and the"charming second movement is fraiiklybased upon variations of. the anthem.The opening Allegro movement is full;of rich and varied music,'happy in- itsgeneral effect and ending with aspiritedand exhilarating dance. In the secondmovement we hear the violin in somelovely chromatic passages. The thirdmovement: is a.brief-minuet of greatcharm, while tlie fourth. shows Haydnin a grander, more impressive '.' mood.The London String Quartette playswith much understanding of Haydn'sclear idiom." They are specially good,I thought,, in the last movement, andin tho variations, while the dying-awaycoda is delicious. The newprocess re-cording.gives the strings au astonish-ing fidelity to life. ,' :"'Barber of Seville." . J/' It is not generally known that there;is an excellent complete" version of:Bossini's ''Berber of Seville on fif-teen twelve-inch and two ten-inchdouble-sided discs at plum label prices,the cast being as follows: Almaviva,Edoardo Taliani; Figaro^ Ernesto Ba-dini; Bartolo, ,Ca'nevaliD^yide;--Basi-t-lic, DiLelio Urr" ;'to; Koirina;MalvinaPereira; ehorv , id orchestra of LaSc'alaTheatre, - an; conductor,CarloSabaino.

Onone side is heard a comprehensive.or-chestra selection very well rendered .bythePrince's Orchestra, and on the otherwe; have some of the best songsin thepiece .excellentlysung by the ColumbiaLight Opera Company. Leslie ■Stuart,'

-*. the composer, is of the1 Gilbert and"Sullivan school. His melodies are typ-ically English—clear and refreshing—, and some of his songs,notally "TellMe, Pretty Maiden," and "Iwant >tobea, Military Man,".,are worthy .to -rankwith Sullivan's best. Altogether thisis avery tuneful record. ■

The qualityof the captivating musicIn this bright musical comedy can wellbe gauged by the readiness with whichso many bands, pianUts, ' and' singers'have seized upon it. Among the recordsw? have to hand are some by the As-taires, who made such of thecomedy in London,and'these, we think,aTe.the best of the'lot. But the'bandrecords are better for dancing to, andall are beautifully clear and remark-ably goodrhythm. """ - . '

..-.": '

Throughput all the changes in thefashions of the-dance, the:one-step re-tains much of its popularity, and rocordings are still in demand. Amongstrecent 'successes may be mentioned Ui«-■Savoy Orpheans. "Bobadilla," brack-eted to"A Nightof Love,?' by"■": thoGoodwiehOrchestra; the Rio GrandeTango Bands; "Maryetta," "Trouba-dour"; "My Carmenita," and "SeaSongs Medley,"by the Savoy Orpheaii?.Variety of time is the essence of theJure of the dance,and in these recordswe have no lack of it.

<!J;6u.i'orget to Bemember," "Wild-flower," and "Bambalina." Sung byLayton and Johnstone.—Layton andJohnstone seem to be invariably goodas far as their vocalism goes,but it isseldom that we-get three such goodnumbers on one record. They are allthree familiar—but does that matter?The two selections from "Wildflower"are amongst the tuniest bits of musicin recent-years, and are the pick of thevery good "Wildflower" music. "YouForget to Bemember" will linger formany a day; and it will be a long timebefore this pleasing record grows stale.The-voices are remarkably well repro-duced,from a technical point of view,for which the new Columbiaprocess isto be thanked.

The latest musical comedy success inSydney is "Sunny," described to be,tunefully and otherwise, as good as itsname. There is a very good recordingof this by the Light Opera Companyand Melville Gideonin characteristicselections.

Scenesform "Faust."Since the introduction of the new

electrical process of recording a greatmany enthusiasts have been wonderingabout the re-recording of past suc-cesses, under the old process. This is,.of course, a task which had to befaced,and is being faced. Owing, how-ever, to the necessity of supplying en-tirely new recordings to an expectantpublic, there-recording of old numbershas so far been & somewhat slow pro-cess. Still, something is being done.Take "Faust" tot example. We havea fine, recording of the ''ChurchScene," in which Chaliapine (bass),Florence Austral (soprano), with chorusand orchestra, give us a fine display.f Unfinished" Symphony.

Schubert's Unfinished Symphony,Court Symphony Orchestra.—lt is al-most a blessing that this fragrant, be-gun by Schubertand forgotten by him,an<" discovered and published someyears after his death, was never com-pleted. Schubert, alas, with perhapsthe greatest gift for lovely melody ofany young composer, had one weakness—ra deplorable tendency <to prosines3.,whie,h.marredso much of his work. As■a■fragrant this has'become perhaps his'most' popular composition; as>a com-pletsd symphony, who knows to whatdreary amplitude it may have beendrawn out? In the hands of the CourtSymphony. Orchestra it is a thing of. joy from beginning to end. One dis-covers new beauties in the old familiartheme each time it is heard. How itepitomises the finaj definance vof abeaten man. And that longsight-of the.violin, towards the end of the first part—is there anything I'more fragrant ormore appealing'in music? '''his is asgood a rendering of the "Unfinished"Symphonythat we have -ver heard,andsince some interpretation or other, ofit should ;be in! every: gramqphonist'scollection, we unhesitatingly, recom-mend it. The Columbia reproduction issuperb.Figaro's Great Aria. r

Oneof the most famous songsin therepertoires of bass-baritone singers is"Largo al Factotum della Citta"("Boom for the Faototumy"). Sungby Figaro, in Bossini's opera, "TheBarber .of Seville/ It has. been re-corded by Pasquale Amato, Titta Kuffo,Emilo de Gegorza, Guiseppe de Luca,Apollo . Granforte, Lewys James, byPetV Dawson, but the beat recordingis that by Bfcardo Stacciari.

As is well known, Mascagni entirelyfailed to equal the spectacular, successof his famous "CavalleriaBusticana,"and although he s?rote severV otheroperas each was, admittedly, a failure.I must' confess,however (notes a criticof■ records), that to a certain extent Ilike the duet "Va nelia tua Stanz-etta," from this composer's "PiccoloMarat," and sung by de Muro and "Vi-gano, which, in one passageat least,rises to a height that is quite equal tothe duetbetween Tariddu and Santuzzain'"Cavalleria.". . .""■'■

"Tie a String Around Your Finger"and (with George Baker) "Honey, I'min Love with You," Kathlyn Hilliaid,soprano. This, isn't what one wouldcall a "high-brow" disc. But neitheris it a "low-brow," for it has a definiteallure all its own. "Tie a String" iseminentlya songfor tho singer, as thesinger is for the song-. Of its kind thisis an excellent disc. . ■

Codrie Sharpe's arrangements of oldEnglish*- folk .dances- may not have avery wide appeal, but they should cer-tainlybe heard rather than passed byfor many of them are really delightful.Amongst them aro: "Nancy'sFancyj'—"Tink-a-Tink," "Flowers ofEdinburgh'»—''Christchurch Bells,.»'''Childgrove'V'Sage Leaf," "Mr.Beveridge's Maggot—"Jacks Mag-got," "Galopede"—"We Won't GoHome Till Morning," "Lads a Bun-. chum"—"Beau Setting," "Glorish-ears"—^'Shepherd's Hey," "CountryGardens"—-"Bobbing Joe." ,

"L'Apres midi dun Faune," orches-tral tone poem, Royal Albert Hall Or-chestra. This celebrated orchestralpiece presents at once the charm andthe mystery of its composer. The charmis in the delicate tracery work of theorchestration; the mystery lies in whathe is trying to tell us. If one mustsubscribe to the modernist one had bet-ter not ask too many questions, butbe devoutly thankful to be accordedthe privilege of mere listening. At allevents, "L'Apres midi" is an enjoy-able feast of colour. If you are look-ing for sheer melody, then back toBeethoven.

Although the tango, as a dance,hasnever succeeded in capturing populartaste in this part of the world, so muchof a delightful kind has been writtenin. the music of this dance that therehas always been a certain demand forthe recon by music-lovers who do notdance at all. Amongst recent attracttive discs may be mentioned "'Adela"—"En trus Brazos" (Rio GrandeTango Band), and "La Mantilla"—"Por Ti" (Varaldi's Tango . Band).Musically speaking, these are highly at-tractive and worth hearing:

"Persian Song" (Glinka)—"Waltzin G Flat" (Chopin). Zimbalist makesa ■

\\ welcome reappearance on ourlists, after a considerable absence. Heis one of the famous group of pupilsof Professor Leopold 'Aver, a groupwhich,. to-day, nearly monopolises thelist of great violin, virtuosi. Zimbal-ist possesses every attribute we shouldexêctein an Aver pulpit,ri "■ s auoustone and phenomenal agility, in addi-tion-to; the purely personal gift of un-usual- interpretative intelligence. Histriumphant progress through Europeafter his debut in Petrograd just beforethe war is possibly remembered bymany, though'he has for some yearspast'l:resided in America. Both thepieces he has played for this record aredecidedly piquant, particularly, per-haps, because it .is less familiar, . the"Persian Song" of Glinka. Glinka,one of 'the ■ founders of the RussianSchoolof Music,.was (like most of hisfellow countrymen) always strongly at-tracted by the music of the East, and itis possible that this is an authenticPersian; melody. Its langaus chro-maticism and its curious cadences aredecidedly attractive. As a contrast, ther .ore sophisticated brillian- of Chop-in's "G Flat "Waltz" 's very effective:

"Travelinr. to de Grave" (negrospiritual), arr. W. Beddisn,." 'Tis Me,O Lord" (ndgro spiritual), arr. N. Cur-tis Burtin. The two spirituals "whichthe De Beszke Singers have given uson this record-are excellent examplesof their kind,.,and, contrary to -whatmight be ■expected, are enhanced by!their arrangement in four part har-mony. " 'Tis Me, O Lord" is espec-ially delightful, ■

An Important Statementby Mr. PADEREWSKI

November Ist,' 1922.

'My attention has been called to thefact that the manufacturers of certain :reproducing pianos are advertising rollsbearing my name, for use with their 'instruments. ■

"In justice to myself, and for the . ;protection of the public, I deem itnecessary to make the following state-ment:

"I have never played for any Ameri-can reproducing instrument other thanthe Duo-Art.

Some fifteen or sixteen years ago,I recorded in Germany for a Germaninstrument. Since then I have nevermade a music roll record of my playingexept for the Aeolin Company, and,

"■''.' , because in my opinion, their remarkableinstrument, the Duo-Art Pianola, isfar superior to all other reproducing'pianos, I have entered a life agreementto record exclusivelyfor thatinstrument.

Miss Winifred Dean,of Kapior" whonets under the stage name of WinifredWayne, has been appearing with theLondon Repertory Players at the Re-gent, in "Loose Ends." This play, byDion Titherage, is a revival and dealswith the most modern of modern, youngpeople. Into their midst there comesa simple, straightforward soul who isin love with the popular nctiess of theparty. He marries hot, but it turns outthat he has been jn pus>on for fifteen.yearsfor a murder whijli was almostexcusable. Although Jfina Grant is theWife .aud heroine of tlto &tory,< BrondaFallon, played by Miss WinifredWayne3 is the leading part. Eton-crop-ped, cocktail-drijiking, with languageand ideas at the limit of'enlightenment,she portrays the ultra-modern girl. Butshe sees from the point; of yiew of thesimple .soul, befriends him, and finallyfalls in lave with him, only to be call-ed unpleasant names.

Miss Kathleen Cruickshank, who isgivinga song-recital in the WellingtonConcert Chamber ou Wednesday, 22ndJune, has recently returned from Eng-land, where she has been studying sing-ing both in.

Ignaz yriedaian; the famous pianist,who was cho#en' to take part in theVienna Beethoven festival, and who isnow ia Australia, had a, great recep-tion in SydnejVanfl all the newspapersthere were lavish in their praises. Mr.Bayertz in the "Sydney Times'' wrote:Friedman is agreat and genuine art-ist. His astounding clarity has neverbeen equalled by any other pianisthetird in Sydney. It is my consideredopinion that Friedman' is absolutely themost completely satisfying pianistheard in Australia." Mr. P. Nolan(''Sydney Mining Herald") stated:'!Friedman in his prime, with the pres-,tige from great European triumphs andthe'Beethoven Centenarycelebration atVienna, justified the high xoputationby the most exquisite piano playingever heard in" Sydney. It was au even-ing of aheer beauty. The bigaudience,including J;he~government House party,was manifestly impressed by the bril-liant attainment of Pricdman."

Lillian HallDavis, Ellaline Terriss, Godfrey Winn,Jameson Thomas,aiul Nadia SiWiakaiaenact the variousSoles. Commentingonthe production after the London tutdescreening, the "Daily Clnonir-le'1 of 23rdMarch, says: "Blighty,"'the Now Biitishpicture, will be a tiemendous= success.Emotionally it is the best -war film yetmado. The story is laid mainlyon thehome front. It does give some glimpsesof life behind the lines in France, butmost of the action is played in thehome of Lady Villieis (EUaline Teiris),m London.

"Mods"'—the picturisation of the Im-mortal Reheat, is to be released shoit-ly. The British Press without one ex-ception praised this pictuie to thehighest, and "The 'Daily Mail" in anarticle on the review of the picture stat-ed that "Mons" deserved to be shown inevery cinema throughout the Empire,not only for its patriotic appeal, butalso because it gripped and stirred theemotions in an oêrwhelming fashion.

Johii Drew and Ethel Bavryiuore at-tended the invitation showing of JohnBarrympre's now Master Picture, "HisLady." John, apparently, is lost toBroadway and to tho theatre.

Ted M'Namara and Sammy Cohenaretho two irrepressibles who provide sucha large amountof the humour in "WhatPrice Glory." As Privates Kiper andLipinsky, the two artists show the audi-ence just how much, fun lurks behindthe grim reality of war, and how theyhave the laugh over that formidableperson, Captain Fla'gg. Ted ia a "dinkuinAussie" and Sammy's ancestors came■f roni Palestine, and they prove justhowsuccessfully the partnership of the tworaces may be managod.

Mr. W. T. Cosgrave.All eyeshiivo this vreck been centred

on Ireland, where Mr. William ThomasCosgravo has led the Government to anarrow victory against, his. famous op-

ponent, 51r.Eamon dc Valera.Mr. Cosgravo waslorn iv Dublinand educated at aschool 6f tlioChristian Broth-ers. Ho enteredthq grocery tradeat an early ago,and .there wasnothing in his lifeat thalt time to

T^^^^~^""~"** indicate a careerof importance. But, like most thought-ful young Irishmen who camo of neeabout the turn of tho century, ho wasr ?o!^J3y the Siull Feia movement.Ui 1913 he became a member of theIrish.Volunteers, and when that bodydivided an August, 1914, he was withthei minority who refusedto follow JohnRedmond. At the Easter rising in 1916he was again in tho extremist minor-ity, for he joined the section which,against the order of Professor Mac-Wcill, then head of the organisation,went to fight under Pearse. Mr. Cos-grave was nominated and elected by alarge majority for a Kilkenny city seatin 1917, was re-elected the followingyear, and was a member.of the firstJJail Eircann which declared for anIrish Republic. He was Minister forLocal Government in the first Republi-can Ministry, and during the struggleagainst the British Government .it washis task to organise the refusal of localbodies to co-operate with Dublin CastleLike all other members of-this illegalMinistry, he was the subject of pursuitby the law accordingly, ana was morethan once in prison. During the debatem the Dail in December, 1021, on thenewly-signed treaty with Great Bri-tain, Mr. Cosgravc's speech.was one ofthe few that-attracted attention, andlater ho became / 'Minister of LocalGovernment in the newly-formed' Pro-visional Cabinet. When, the Presidentof the Executive Council'(Mr. Griffith)went, to London in. 1922 ne AppointedMr. Cosgrave as his deputy,-and whenMr. Griffith suddenly died in Augnst ofthe same year Mr. Collins took overhis duties and, Mr. Cosgravo becameacting-chairman of the Provisional Gov-ernment. Ten.days later .Michael Col-liris was shot, and Mr. Cosgrave, a plainbusiness man, was placed by force ofcircumstances at the head of a Statefighting for its life. Never was promo-tion more sudden or more accidental.Griffith and Collins had,.in their dif-ferent ways,a strong hold.on the popu-lar mind; Mr.: Cosgrave was. at thattime an unknown personality, and bare-ly recognised as a name. He has sincecaptained the team/with marked ability,leaving much of the' actual work toyounger and more brilliant subordin-1

Mr. Eamon de Valera.Irish history contains tho names of

many men whose/prestige is as. greatto-day its'ever it was,'but none havefilled the Public Eye.to the extent thatMi-. Earnou'de Valera"has. A little

While, ago it wasdeclared that doralera was a spentforce in Irish af-fairs aiid that hispublic utteranceswere becominglees,and less ef-fective, -The re-sult ; of thisweek's GeneralElection in Ire-land,: has ,prpvedthat this diacno-

'. sis.of thepositionis far froni jbcin'g correct. This great—that term must be applied.to hini eventhough one may:disagree with' his atti-tude towards " "England^revolutionaryleader,is an American by.birth, havingfirst seen the light of dayin New Yorltin 1883. His, -father was Vivian deValera, a, Spaniard,, his motherwas lîsh;;Her maiden name was KateColl, and she went to the,United Statesfrom County Limerick.'; WKcn Eamonde Valero was two' years old ho wentto Ireland, where,he dwelt among hismother's people, and learned their linoof-.thought;' The young Spaniard-Irish-man; gave early promise of unusual tal-ents, taking advantage of any educa-tional chances which came his way,and later attending Blackrock College,where he won '»- mathematical andscience scholarship which took him tothe 'National University. Of, a.roman-tic, . impulsivo temperament it seemswonderful that he dovoted so manyyears to mathematical science,but thisearly training has coloured his careerover since. As leader of the Republi-cans he has refused each time to allowmembers-ofhis party to take the oathof allegiance which is required beforeany member can take his place in theDnil Eireann, %vith 'the consequencethat prior to the present GeneralElec-tion nearly thirty, electorates were dis-frtinchised for this reason. If the oathwere removed thfeRepublicans have in-timated that they are 'willing to' sitwith the other representatives of thepeople in the Free.State Assembly, re-garding that Assombly frankly as anon-Sovereign, subordinate,.26-countiesinstitution, but one which is in fact ina position to control the lives of alargo section of.,the people.

Mr. C. B. Cochran.,one of the world's greatest showmenat the present time is Mr. Charles B.

Cochraii; whose enterprise has" givenL?""'- - —<t-'■""■",,.■ -panyentertainments,

from, .the grand tothe intimate, in-cluding " thosethat could repaya" lover of the artwith nothingsave:love and art. HisSrst experience oftho.s theatre waswhen he attendeda- pantomime, atthe- age of six,and'ho'stated fe-contlythat though

ho mm " utoiujftl all: the most famousperformances of recent years nonewcromore vivid in his memory than thosehe had witnessed between the age ofsix and'fifteen, and they,were all pan-tomimes. When he reached-the latterage he made < apoint of going to all theplays and operas he could. At.school hetook part in amateur theatricals withAubrey Bcardsley, laying a solid foundation for his later career as an entertamer and entrepreneur. Eeferring reeefttly to these past performances h>said: "I was stage-struck then andhave been stage-struck ever since." Thonly place where he is really happyl iin a theatre, and even after a pe>fdrmance is overhe will frequently coitinue to sit there deep, in thought, scompletely is he under its influenceTo him there is no difference betweeithe theatre-and the circus, the musithall, or the opera—-it is all the shouworld, and there nre nodivisions or subdivisions to him. Nearly, everybodyin the theatrical world has a hard-luci;story to tell, and his story has been nodifferent in this respect to that ofmany other players. In the 'ninetieshe was stranded in Chicago, and1 onenight even his clothes were stolen sothat he stood, up in his."birthday suit"only. Ho was helped by the late E.S.AVillard byway of moneyand clothes,

but it was somo ycarß before ho wasable to rcpny <hp,kindness. While pay-ing a visit to Berlin since tho war hesaw a. performances o£ "Oedipus Bex"at the SchumannCircus,ami from thingrew his greatest conception, "TheMiracle," a story, of a nun and a Mad-onna, T.'hich has bold all England en-tranced, as . well as theatre-lovers inmany other countries. It was his stage-struck sense which, impelled him topresent in London such world-famous*players as Bernhardt, Dusc,the Ohauvc-Souris, the Guitrys, the plays of EugeneO'Neill and Pirandello, and FlorenceMills. Ho was the discoverer of thenow famous Grock, and many othergreat names of the theatrical world,and is admittedly stage-struck in thewidest sense of the term.

TheHon. O.O.Daves.The Vice-President p£ the UnitedStates does not come into the PublicEye to any great extent, except on anoccasion such as occurred when Presi-

dent Harding died in office and Mr.Coblidgc, thenVice - President,succeeded him inthe Presidentialchair, as providedfor by the Con-stitution. TheVice - President,however, is amost importantindividual, andhas regular du-ties prescribedfor him by the

Senate. The present occupant of theoffice, the Hon. CharlesGatesDawes,isone of the most-liked men in America,is a wonderful, raconteur, a capablebusiness man,'and with a reputation asa leader made while he was soldiering.According to a recent account of theVice-President his, implements of tradeare a gavelby dayand a fork bynight.He has to be an incessant diner out. Atdinner parties, of which he is requiresto attend a great number, Mr. Dawesis sauye, debonair,unassuming, cheery,and kindly,without a. touch of ferocityin him. Indeed kindliness is his chiefcharacteristic. When his son, Rufus,died; he proceeded to adopt two chil-dren—a boy and a girl. He is alwaystrying to see to it.that the young strip-lings who serve the Senate as pagesare having a good time. . Back in Chi-cago he is well known for his chari-tableness and kindly thoughtfor. the af-flicted and distressed. He has othersides to his character too. He has anartistic temperament, is something ofa painter,aii excellent musician, and isone of the greatest platform personali-ties 'in the United States. lie alwaysstudies his audiences,and knows howto speak when he desires a, crowd toconsume his utterances., His violentvituperations and gesticulations to"theSenate on the matter of Senate.rulesarc not always to the Senate,but quitefrequently to the populace. ■ For allthat they are perfectly sincere. Itmeans that he has a certain deliberateand conscious platform method which isentirely different from his method ofprivate personal .intercourse. '■" A lambin private, and a roaring Bengal tigerthreateningly and ferociously lashinghis t;ail, in public. That is the Hon.' C.G.Dawes.' ■ A.lawyer bytraining, he isa politician, by inclination, and thepolitical arena has cause to rememberhim on several notable occasions.

With thepower winch-belongs only tothe great,.Feodor Chaliapin can com-mand a universal language which con-veys a message to every heart in every

audience in anypart of the world.To possess such avoice is one of the. greatest talentsever doled out tomankind, but tohave it ■coupledwith the gift ofartistry, in thesame manner as

1 Chaliapin has, isto be the equalalmost of the

gods. Ancl now.tlm. Russian Soviet hasdecided to deprive him of his nation-ality because he is said to have assist-ed cortain refugees upon whom the banof Russia has fallen. With such amanas Chaliapin his Russian nationality islittle or nothing, for he is of the world.In June of 1914,just before the worlddisaster cast its shadows over Londonand Europe, Chaliapin was creating afurore. The musical world of.'tho Met-ropolis was at that time briiliaut withstars.- Caruso, at Covent Garden,wassending forth his golden notes in "LaBohcme." Kar'savinay the adorableRussian dancer, was captivating vastaudiences at Drury Lane. RichardStrauss was conducting his own com-positions at the Queen's Hall. Nikischand Gerhardt and Paderewski werethere, and it seemed as though all thegreatest artists of the world had gath-ered there that summer. Yet amidstsuch dazzling brilliance, no star shonemore brilliantly than Feodor Chaliapinwith his wonderful singing. It was hisfirst season in London, and ho hadtaken the city by storm. Since thenhe has continued his victorious way inalmost every part of*,the world, and thechant of his praises has grown involume till it has spread to the fourcorners of the earth. The war almostforgotten, and a new generation' ofaudiences waiting to be amused,Chalia-pin has appeared in,NpwYork, and stillagain he was the brightest star ina city which had become the Mecca ofthe greatest artists, justas London hadbeen in pre-war 'days. "Boris Goudon--65," was still the operatic vehicle useato charm his audience,but bythe powerof his acting aloho he could have filledany theatre there without the magic ofhis singing. He toured this Dominiononly a few weeks back, and added tohis already long list of admirers. ButRussia has said she does not want him.Good. For now he belongs to the world,and the World's arms are always opento such talents as he has to offer.

PLANTING SEASONFOR TREES AND SHRUBS

CARE AND T.REATMENT.OFROSES

At the time of writingthe heavy south-erly downpourbids fair to make garden-ing impossible for isoine time. Up to thepresent the season has been particularlygood, the rain we have had being justsufficient to moisten the soil and make'it in nice condition for working after thedry summer and autunih. Those garden-ers who took advantage of the favourableconditions and got their ground trenchedwill, have a big advantage over their moreshort-sighted neighbours.

The planting"season for all kinds oftrees, shrubs,'roses, and.-bush fruits- ishere,but it is a mistake? to plant with-out making due preparation or when theground is in a sodden condition. If/;theplants arrive while the land.:is .unsuit-able to work, the bundles should beûn-done and the shrubs,etc., be-heeled .in atrench until conditions are favourable-forplanting.The importance of planting,rosescarefully and preparing. :tHe soil befpje-

hand has beetfdealt with. As all shrubsand trees are usually planted where they,are to remain throughout their lifetime,it is obvious that it is worth while togo to considerable trouble to make therooting medium as good as possible. A longdry season such as we experienced lastsummer has the effectof drying and con-solidating the lower layers of soil which,'unless broken up, jmay cause the upperlayers to become waterlogged, as the mois-ture will not be able to get away quicklyenough.. Another benefit derived fromdeep working of the soil is that plantscan, and will, push their roots downwhere they are not affectedby.the sud-den changes from heat to cold and wherethey are safefrom drought. ' In soil whichis worked only a foot deep'the roots ofmost plants confinethemselves to the sur-face, which hag been drawn on again andagain. For these reasons deep digging isadvisable,and if: manure is available itshould be well worked into the lower spit,where it will be available for the plantswhen they need it. It is surprising the- in-telligence shown by plantsin seeking theirfood supply, the roots invariably findingany manure which is within reach. Thiscan be seen particularly with trees whichwi\J always send their roots into the cul-tivated flowerbeds after robbing them tosuch an extent that: it is impossible togrow good flowersin that particular plot.In such cases theroots musbe cut?offwitha_ sharp spade, or a better "method is todig out a trench to a depth;of two feeta little distance from the trees.

RAMBLERSAND CLIMBERS.Rambler .roses are very valuable climb-

ers, too often sadly neglected.". If allowedto goyearafter year without being thin-ned out they not only-becom'onnsightly,but the flowers deteriorate. Each yearthe old wood should be cut right downand the young wands of last season'sgrowth be tied in to cover the fenceortrellis. The best time to do this is assoon as flowering is over, as then thewhole energy of the plant is expended onthe young growths, which, not beingcrowded,become well ripened, resultinginbetter flowering. If, however,the workis still undone it should be completedwithout delay. Be carefulin removing theold growths that the young wands arc'damaged as little as possible, and tie eachwand to be retained secured at frequentintervals.

Climbing roses require rather differenttreatment, as-their-growth'is different.With this tha first thing to do is to re-move any dead wood and weak growths;then thin out-the branches so that theydo not overlap or, crowd one another. Theremaining growths should be shortenedback to an eye and secured to their sup-ports. All .culting should be done with areally sharp tool, and for general pur-poses secateurs are the moat satisfactory,as it requires a considerable amount ofpractice to use a pruning knife properly.

PEUNING TOOLS.I would strongly advise readers of the

wisdom of buying good secateurs. Cheaptools are never satisfactory, and in theend are dearer than ,a more expensivearticle. This is,particularly the case withedged tools.. Secateurs,if properly lookedafter) will last*a lifetime,as the extra fewshillingsspent to get the best is really avery small item. Cheap secateurs nevermake as clean cuts as good ones, and inmany eases badly bruise the branches.

When not in use priming tools shouldbe rubbed over with a little vaseline toprevent rusting.

A pruning saw is jiocesary-ivliero bigbranches have to be removed. This :is asaw with; fairly fine teeth, which shouldalwaysbe kept sharp and. properly set. Inremoving large branches a cut should first

be made on the lower side,exactly in linewith the1 top'cut. This prevents1the tear-ing away of a part of the remaining woqdwhen the branch falls. After sawmg offthe branch the cut'should be smoothedwith a sharp knife and receive a coatingof tar or paintj to prevent the entry ofdisease spores, , All branches should be

removed as close to the stem as possi-ble, so that no stump is; left, as theseare liable*to die back and the'decay mayextend further down.

BEDDING PLANTS,ShouldtheAvedther take up again many

bedding plants* may still be put out withadvantage. In most gardens numbers ofself-sownseedlings appear, and these maybe utilised for planting now to., bloomearly in the spring. In most cases betterresults are- obtained when the seedlingsare planted out, rather than allowed toremain where they come up. This is be-cause the move induces fibrousroots whichfeedthe plants. If self-sownseedlings aro

not available manymaybe procured fromthe various seed merchants in the city.The sooner pansies and violas are divid-ed up the better if early-flowers are want-ed. The old clumps shotild be lifted .andthe younggrowths from the base be-re-moved, if possible, with a few of thesmall fibrous roots. The larger hollowpieces, or pieces which\ have flowered,should not be used—tliey do not makegood plants. The small'cuttings shouldbe planted in good soil;with, some sandmixed in it.for.preference', If some, goodrotted cow manure is available it shouldbe worked into the lower,soil well belowthe cuttings. "; ■ :, . ■_ '

TREATMENT,FOR^DAHLIAS. -Dahlias-should bei allowed to remainuntil the tops die down naturally. Whenthis-occurs the tubers'may be lifted andstored in some frost-protected position,either under trees or hedges or in a shed.If they show any signs of shrivellingcoverthem' with fine soil or sand. If namedvarieties,see that the labels are properlyattached before storing them away. :

Chrysanthemums ■ should have old"growths cut down as they go out of flower,and loosen the ground round the rootsto encourage young sucker growth, whichsupplies plants for next . season. If de-sired,the plants may be lifted and plant-ed in some out-of-the-way, corner.until theyoung growth is-.large enough topropagatefrom. may commence as soonas the growth is large enough. This is notuniform on all varieties—some not send-ing lip new growth till quite late.

Keep the growing plants of sweet, peassupplied with supports. Twiggybranches.are.".the best, especially while the plantsare quite small. Watch that the youngplants are not destroyed by slugs. Keepall seedlings and growing plants freefromweeds and rake up. fallen leaves. Theseare the favourite haunts of slugs andsnails.. . . ' . »Dust around clumps, of delphiniums,pyrethrums, etc., with lime,"soot, or pow-dered alum to destroy or keep in checkslugs and other pests. .

Loosen the surfacesoil after heavy rainsas soon as the ground-is fit to work.

Singapore Dock. :

The. Admiralty, floating dock whichis being built by Messrs. Swan, Hun-ter, and Wigham Bichardson at Walls-end-on-Tyne: is making good progress,and three of the-seven sections shouldbe completed within about threemonths. The dock, which is designedfor service at the new naval base arSingapore, was ordered in'" Novemberof last year—only about seven monthsago. The seven sections will representover 20,000tons of steel. Of this totalbetween 8000 and 10,000 tous havebeen delivered and-about .4000 tons areworked into the structure. Some fourmillion rivets will be required beforethe dock is ready for taking out tothe East. As all the steel is being ob-tained on the Tyne and the Tees, the |contract represents avery large amountof employmentin that area.SteamersRenamed.

Rnisian ShipsSotting Away.The Moscow Soviet. Government has

a manner of its own of presenting offi-cial figures. Recently it had to sendGenevaa list of warships constitutingthe Russian Black Sea Fleet. Thesofigures were to be taken as officiallycorrect for the purpose of calculatingRussian naval:strength in the BlackSea. From a French Foreign Officepaper, however,it is. shown that of thenumber of warships claimed by theSoviet as representing their Black SeaFleet, one. battleship,,one cruiser, sissea-going destroyers, ; and -four subma-rines were in the great naval port ofBizurta, Tuniß. They were taken thereby General Wrangel,. and left as aguarantee for the repayment of sumsadvanced to the Wrangel " Government.These sums have never been paid back,and this portion of the Black SeaFleetis rotting at anchor in Bizerta Harbour,and is now in such a condition that itcan never take/the sea again.The Empress of Australia.

When the"Fairfieia>Shipbuilding andEngineering Company, of Govan, aredone with the.Canadian Pacific linerEmpress of Australia, "that"' vessel willbear very little'resemblance' to the Tir-pitz, which the Vulcan Company, ofStettin, built in 1914 for the Hamburg-American. Line. The shell will be thesauiti, but not very/much.else.' As re-conditioned the;vessel will have accom-modation of flic latest British typefor 400 first-class, 144 tourists, and 632third-class passengers; all in- cabins andpublic rooms of an exceedingly com-fortable,and finely,■.decorated' character.The biggest.-transformation is, however,in the propelling-,machinery. The Ger-man turbines and JTottinger transmis-sion gear have been replaced bymechanically-geared Fairfield turbinesof the latest;Parsons type. .The de-signed service speed of the. vessel is 18knots,.and-her first sailing will be on25th June, from.Southampton, via Cher-bourg, to the St.''Lawrence.Launching the Port Oiaborne.

A' ship's launch was broadcast forthe first time: in -England," when thePort.iJisborne, a. new Commonwealthand Dominion liner,'was'placed in thewater from : the- Wallsend - yard ofMessrs. Swan, Hunter, and WighamRichardson, Ltd. The Port Gisborneis a twin-screw meat-carrying motor-ship with a capacity of about 10,000tons d.w. She has a cruiser stern andtop gallant forecastle, with upper, sec-ond, and third decks of steel.

New Australian Oo»st«r,Tho now cargo steamer Noora, of theAdelaide S.S. Co.'sHoc, recently mudoher first trip to Sydney. The Noora

is under the command of Captain W.Scott-Kcmbttll, formerly in charge oftho Orama. He brought her fromBlyth to Adelaide, leaving the flrst-named yort on 6th February, and tak-ing 08 days to Adelaide,by way of theSuez Canal. From there she went torhovenard, which port wag left on 21stMay. This is tho vessel's first trip intho inter-Stato trade. A steamer of1078 tons gross register, tho Noorais a very trim looking craft, and, al-though without passenger accommoda-tion, looks liko a small passenger steam-er. She was bought by the AdelaideS.S. Co. from French owners, beingformerly known as tho Ornais, but wasbuilt in British yards, having beenlaunched in 1924 by the Blyth Ship-building and Dry-Docking Company,Ltd. The Noora has asea speed of nineor ten knots, and will be engaged intho general inter-State cargo traffic.Salvage On The Tees.

An unusual occurrence took place inthe Tees recently. Loaded with plates,tho small coasting steamer Smaragd wasproceeding down the river to the seawhen there was a roar from the stoke-hold and the ship was .enveloped insteam. The crew, fearing an explosion,abandoned the ship, it is reported, andtho vessel,still with some way on, washeading for a wharf with a vessel along-side, and. both were threatened withdamage. Somo six or seven foy-boat-men, however,boarded the vessel,andwhile the departed crew looked on, still"waiting for the boilers to explode, thefoyboatmen successfully.-..berthed thesteamer to await survey." The vesselis of 458 tons, built, in 1889, and isowned by Messrs. Hanneviz BrothersLtd., of Llanelly. / .The Berwick.

The light cruiser Berwick, which theFairfield Shipbuilding and EngineeringCompany, Govan, has recently complet-ed for the Admiralty, has been on thehands of her builders for almost ex-actly three years. The comparativelylong time is explained mainly by thefact that the Admiralty we're not press-ing for delivery, and in consequence'progress was slow,in the early stages.The Berwick is one of the new Countyclass of cruisers, and is in general de-signs a sister-ship to.four other vesselsnow under construction"on the Clydethe Norfolk, at Fairfield; the Shrop-shire, at Dalmuif; and the Australiancruisers Australia and .Canberra, atCJydcbank—as well as to several othersin English yards. .:

The'aeroplanehadto compete with railway services andspeeds of anything up to 60 m.p.h.whereas the seaplane had rarely to con-tend with anythingmore than 15 to 37knots. In England the developmento± the seaplane was of paramount importance. There.were not British aercdromes or alighting harbours nearerthan Gibraltar and Malta, but theseprovided goodfacilities for flying boats,while all along our present traderoutes, where coaling stations existedfor the Navy, seaplane bases had beenor could be formed. This Empire had,therefore, with little expense, all thoharbour organisation available for thf>developmentof seaplane or flying boatroutes, and these lay at points alreadyfamiliar to the traveller by sea, andwere available at little cost to thiscountry.
