BIG SHORTAGE.trained teachers.
IN TWO YEARS' TIME.
REOPEN AUCKLAND COLLEGE?
(By Telegraph.—Special to " Star.")WELLINGTON, this <lay.
Proposals for the establishment of agreat training college for teachers inAuckland in the near future were laidbefore a special conference of professorsof education which met in Wellingtonthis week. The proposals came fromthe Minister of Education, Mr. Masters,and a Government announcement on thesubject of the decision reached may beexpected in the next few days.
The conference of professors, whichwas hurriedly called because of the factthat the Minister wishes to finalise someplan at the earliest possible moment,has met because of the discovery that alarge shortage of teachers faces theEducation Department in two years'time, and steps must be taken to fill thevacant places. When the Governmentdecided to close down the training col-leges at various centres and transfer thepersonnel elsewhere there appears tohave been some official miscalculation ofthe future supplies of teachers in rela-tion to the needs of the education boardsthroughout the country. In any casethe overwhelming supply of teacherswhich was thought to be available hasdwindled alarmingly, and to-day it isstated that there are only about 300available for appointment in place of themany hundreds previously listed by theDepartment. As the natural wastageor loss of teachers is estimated to beabout 500 par year, due mostly to mar-riage of the women teachers, and todeath and retirements, this supply willnot serve the country for very long.
Centralisation Flan.While details of the Government's pro-
posals to meet the shortage are not yetmade public it is learned that the pro-ject laid before the conference of profes-sors was that there should be a greattraining college in Auckland and thatno less than 1000 student teachers shouldbe enrolled in order to fill the gaps ex-pected in tie near future. The short-age of teachers throughout the country-is expected to amount to this total by1936. Apparently the Minister of Edu-cation is anxious to centralise the train-ing of the students for reasons of eco-nomy and, it is claimed, of efficiencyalso. But this course has been opposedby lie professors of education, who haveraised a number of objections to the planof concentrating all the tra'ning in onecentre.
Tt| the first place it is pointed out thatto restrict the work of training to Auck-land would have the result of pi eventingsome South Island students from enrol-ling, and would cause grave inconveni-ence to many others who were able toenrol but would have to move far fromtheir homes.
Professors' Proposal.In the second place it is argued that
such a course is not necessary, as thetraining can be done economically andefficiently at the various university col-leges, without the need for large addi-tional expenditures. Apparently theMinister fears the need to reopen thetraining colleges in each city, or at leastone in each island, it being the desireof the Government to restrict expendi-ture to what is absolutely needful. Butthe professors of education have pointedout that the training could be carriedout on the English system, under whichstudents would be placed on the rollsof the different university colleges andtheir work would be carried out as partof the ordinary work of those colleges.There would be no question of reopen-ing training colleges specially to dealwith the situation.It is understood also that the profes-
sors have pointed out that though underthis plan the Government would have tomake a contribution to the cost of train-ing the 1000 teachers needed in the nexttwo years such a course would becheaper even than Assembling the stu-dents all at one college. After a wholeday's conference the professor? departedfeeling that they had made some impres-sion on the Minister. Now, however,the matter has to be taken beforeCabinet and it is stated that Mr. Masterswill make a public announcement of hisintentions early next week.
SURPRISING CHANGE.
It was learned in Auckland to-daythat it was known that early in 1936the present surplus of teachers will havebeen exhausted. The rate of the"wastage" of teachers has surprisedeveryone, and under present conditionsit may even have become accelerated.In view of the continual publicity givento the overcrowding of the profession,and the numbers of teachers out of work,the estimated shortage by_ 1936 mightappear exaggerated, but it is not.
The proposal to concentrate the train-ing of teachers in Auckland, accordingto one informant, was not actually putbefore the conference in Wellington, butthere is a trend of thought in that direc-tion.
PRISONERS SENTENCED.
BREAKING AND ENTERING.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
DUNEDIN, this day.At tbe Supreme Court to-day the fol-
lowing prisoners were sentenced:—Robert Kirkness, 40, breaking and enter-ing and theft, 18 months; John WilliamHogan, 29, and Eric Albert EdwardScheib, 31, breaking, entering and theft,t*lree years' probation.
MUNICIPAL BAND.
RESTORATION OF "CUT."
Following a request by Mr. E.Phelan for a report why thedecision of the City Council regard-ing the restoration of the 5 percent cut to the Municipal Band had notbeen given cffect, the bandmaster re-ported to the finance committee that hehad debated the matter with the fullband, and it had been agreed unani-mously that as the band was not beingcalled upon to fulfil many engagementsat the present time it was not desir-able to apply for the restoration of thecut.
However, the finance committee recom-mended the restoration of 5 per cent asfrom April 1 last, and this was adopted.
On the motion of Mr. W. T- Anderton,was decided to increase the wages of
convenience attendants to £3 4/8, arestoration of the 2/ reduction imposedwhen the 10 per cent cut was appliedto the wages of other employees of thecouncil. . ,
WELCOME NEWS.PUPILS AND PARENTS.
REVIVAL OF_ OPPORTUNITY.UNIFORM POLICY NEEDED.
Any news that more teachers are tobe trained in the near future would bemost welcome to pupils who had lookedforward and trained themselves to enterthe teaching profession, and also to theparents who had in so many cases madegreat sacrifices to allow their childrenso to train themselves, said Miss E. M.Johnston, principal of the AucklandGirls' Grammar School, this morning.At the same time she looked for a more"uniform policy from the EducationDepartment than had obtained in thepast.
_ She reviewed the position as it affectedgirls who had passed through her chargesince 1931, the year when the Depart-ment announced that no more would-beteachers were to be accepted for the nextfew years. Each year, she said, from 30to 35 girls under normal conditions wouldhave become teachers. The 1935 grouphad seen their chances blighted—irre-trievably, it seemed at the time—through no fault of their own. In thesucceeding years the same number hadhoped against hope that the way wouldbe opened for them, and they hadtrained themselves in readiness. Theway had not opened, and they had hadto do something else in the meantime.Some, more fortunate, had gone on tothe University and advanced their quali-fications. Others, unable for financialreasons to go to the University, hadtaken temporary positions, while othershad had to give up their ambition. Allwho still were determined to enter theTraining Colleges had kept themselvesup to date in their studies, and were nowready.
Qualifications had improved in lateyears, she added. At present would-beteachers had to hold at least a higherleaving certificate, while some wouldhave degrees before ever they enteredthe Training College. To all these stu-dents, then, any chance at last to fulfiltheir ambitions would be gladly ac-cepted, while parents would see thattheir sacrifices—and great sacrifices hadbeen made—had been made to somematerial end.
Miss Johnston pointed out that in1931 so many teachers were being trainedthat the Minister had determined toclose the Training College, with a re-sultant great dislocation. Now theDepartment appeared to have suddenlydiscovered that by 1936 there was goingto be an actual shortage of 1000, andthat the training of that number wouldhave to be rushed. In future years shehoped the Department would be able toavoid such extremes of policy, for thesake of all concerned.

CHURCH'S JUBILEE.
ST. JUDE'S, AVONDALE.COMMEMORATIVE PROGRAMME.
The fiftieth anniversary of the dedica-tion of St. Jude's Church, Avondale, wascommemorated last evening, when ajubilee festival service drew a packedattendance. The service was conductedby the Rev. H. R. Jecks, first vicar ofAvondale, after the creation of the paro-chial district, and the festival sermonwas preached by Archbishop Averill.
It seemed, sometimes, said his Graceduring the course of his sermon, that thespirit of evil was triumphing in theworld, but the present difficulties shouldonly inspire Christian men and womento redouble their efforts. No Church,no society and no family could live onits past traditions alone, there being asolemn message for the present genera-tion to extend the influence founded bythose who established the church 50 yearsago.
At a social gathering which followedthe church service, Archbishop Averillcongratulated St. Jude's on its jubilee,and expressed regret that the presentvicar, the Rev. A. V. Grace, was pre-vented by illness from attending.
The Rev. J. H. Cable, vicar of Hender-son, recalled his associations with thechurch as assistant curate 19 years ago.Among others who congratulated thechurch on its jubilee was the Rev. J. 11.Combes, of the Avondale PresbyterianChurch.
A tea and entertainment for the youngpeople of the church will be held to-morrow, and on Sunday special serviceswill be taken by Bishop Anderson and theRev. F. de L. Willis. On Tuesday a socialevening will be held and reminiscencesexchanged.
During the celebration of the jubileea special effort is being made to raisefunds to complete the renovation of thechurch building.

DUTY INCREASED.FOREIGN RADIO SETS.
IF MOUNTED IN CABINETS.
PROTECTING LOCAL INDUSTRY
(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)
WELLINGTON, this day.An increase in the duty on foreign
radio sets mounted in cabinets, to takeeffect as from to-day, was decided uponby the House of Representatives lastnight. The rates fixed are: —
Built up, but not mounted in cabinets,35 per cent.
Mounted in cabinets, 45 per cent.There is no alteration in the British
preferential rate.Discussing the matter in the House,
the Minister of Customs, Mr. Coates,read the following statement: "It willbe remembered that under the amendingresolutions which were introduced intothis House on August 23, it was pro-posed that parts of radio sets and setsbuilt up (but not in cabinets) were tobe admitted free of duty if under theBritish preferential tariff, and chargedat 25 per cent if of foreign make. Thesewere the rates in force under the oldtariff. With respect to radio sets incabinets, it was proposed that underthe British preferential tariff the rateshould be 10 per cent up to the end ofMay next, and that thereafter theyshould bo free of duty. The reason forthe postponement was to enable theGovernment to take up with Australia,and, if necessary, with Canada, thequestion of making a satisfactoryarrangement with those countries. Itwas proposed that the rate on foreignsets mounted in cabinets should be 35per cent ad valorem.
"Intense Competition.""It has since been pointed out that
owing to the intense competition fromimported sets which is taking place, dueto various causes, the local industry,which has assumed large proportions,will not be able to hold a sufficient por-tion of the trade to carry on effectively.It has therefore been decided to fix therate on foreign sets, when made up, butnot mounted in cabinets, at 35 per cent,and when mounted in cabinets at 45per cent."

CITY COUNCIL DECISIONS.
A request from the Karangahape RoadBusiness Promotion Society that whenthe loan proposal of £12,000 for theimprovement of Belgium Street is sub-mitted to ratepayers, the latter shouldhave the opportunity of expressingtheir views on the alternative proposalfor the erection of the Arch Hill bridgewas referred by the City Council lastevening to the works committee for re-port.

DAIRY PRODUCE.
OPINION IN ENGLAND.
ADVICE TO FACTORYMANAGERS.
QUALITY ALL-IMPORTANT.
Some valuable advice on how best tocater for the British market was givento Auckland dairy factory managers attheir conference yesterday by Mr. G. M.Valentine, assistant-director of the DairyDivision of the Agricultural Department,who recently returned from a visit toEngland and the Continent.
"Competing with butters from sixteendifferent countries, New Zealand buttermust be of the highest quality," said Mr.Valentine. "Otherwise it will not be aquestion of what price we can get for it,but whether we can sell it at all. Ifwe do not give the retailer there what hecan sell, he will take the butter fromother countries that do."
Both butter and cheese from NewZealand had shown a great improvementrecently, particularly cheese, which stillsuffered, however, from the defect ofopenness. Investigations were nowbeing made to see if that fault couldbe overcome, but there was a long wayto go. The improvement in the qualityof cheese was the result of the factoriesgetting better milk. It would never do,however, to give up pasteurisation com-pletely, as by that proccss a mild cheesewas obtained, which suited people whoconsumed a lot. Some bitterness wasnoticeable in the cheese early in theseason, due probably to acidity and ovev-salting, but it improved later. Therewas no need to mature cheese here morethan at present, as the warehouses inEngland matured it to suit theircustomers.
The quality of New Zealand butter,said Mr. Valentine, was taken inEngland as a matter of course, and agreat deal was bought from the ware-houses over the telephone, the buyershaving such confidence in the gradingthat they did not see the butter. A lotof New Zealand butter sold in Englanddid not, however, do the Dominioncredit, and the improvement of theselower grades would enhance the reputa-tion of the whole.
Question of Flavour.The flavour of New Zealand butter was
considered rather insipid compared withthat of Northern Europe, said Mr.Valentine, but he did not think that itwas advisable to make an acid butter,as it would not be so uniform. Nor didhe think it advisable to make specialbutters for the different English markets.The "body" of New Zealand butter wasa great asset. Over-working and over-use of deodorisers took away the creamflavour that the English buyers wanted,and the object of the dairy factorymanagers should be to get such qualityof cream that they could make butterwith a minimum of treatment.
The packing of New Zealand butterwas not as it should be, Mr. Valentinewas told in England. Thousands ofpounds had been spent on research formethods of improving the butter, but thepacking of it was simply a matter ofcare, and was completely in the hands ofthe factory managers.
At the close of his address, Mr.Valentine answered a number ofquestions.

Senior Detective Hall said the housein question was at 9, Reimers Avenue,Ivingsland. It was under the control ofthe State Advances Department, andwas vacated by the tenant on August11. "This tenant did not surrender thekeys of the house," added Mr. Hall, "soa tradesman was instructed to go andfit new locks and keys. When he gotthere lie found that the house wasoccupied. Officers from the StateAdvances Department and ConstableMcGlone, of Ivingsland, called at thehouse, but could not see the occupiers.Detective Sneddon called, but thedefendant refuses to vacate the pre-mises. He is still occupying the house.Ho is a married man witli a wife andtwo young children. He simply walkedinto the house with his family afterAugust 11."
Protecting His Family.Woods told the magistrate that he
had been unemployed for the past twoyears, and had recently been on sus-tenance, receiving £1 6/ per week. "I'either had to pay rent or else starve,"he added. "I could not get anotherhouse, eo the only alternative, if Iwanted to keep my wife and childrenoff the streets, was to enter the one Iam now in. I think there is a morallaw that comes before any other law.Even the animals know it and protecttheir young—"
Mr. McKean: Would it not have beenbetter for you to have remained in thehouso that you were in. I suppose youthought it all right so long as youwere in a Government house?—No. Thequestion is, who can afford it most?Besides, the landlord of the house I for-merly occupied treated me well. Evenuntil now I have never been ordered toquit the house I am in by anyone—
Senior Detective Hall said he couldcall evidence to prove that this wasincorrect, and that Woods had beenrequested to give up possession.
Wrote, to Mr. Coates."I wrote to Mr. Coates," said Woods,"and when Detective Sneddon arrived
I showed him a letter in which the Min-ister said that the matter would beinvestigated by the State Advances De-partment. In view of this, I don't thinkany action should have been taken untilI got definite word from Mr. Coates."
Mr. McKean: You have committed anoffence to which you have pleaded guilty.Your present intention is to stay In thehouse? No, not if I can get anotherhouse.
Mrs. Molesworth, inspector for theSociety for Protection of Women andChildren, then interposed to say thatshe understood a job at full rates of payat Hobsonville Air Base could be foundfor the defendant.
Woods asked for further particularsof this job.
"I will adjourn this case until Fridaynext," said Mr. McKean to Woods. "Ifyou are still in occupation of the house,I must punish you."
Woods: If I am punished, the punish-ment must fall on my wife and children.You are taking the law into your
own hands," Mr. McKean told Woods."You are really in the position of aburglar in the house. You must seethe Labour Department and try to obtainwork. I will adjourn the matter untilnext Friday."

"MILESTONES" TO-NIGHT.The degree of success attained each ysar

MAREO OPERATIC SOCIETY.As its introductory vehicle in Auckland,
the newly-formed Mareo Operatic Societyis aiming high in staging Ivan Caryll'spolished light opera, "The Duchess ofDantzic," which many confirmed theatre-goers will recognise more easily under itstitle of "Madame Sans-Gene."

BACK-O'-BEYOND.TALE OF AUSTRALIA.
NEW ZEALANDER'S JOURNEY.
ACROSS YORK PENINSULA.
In the preface to a recent book onAustralia, someone, with typical Aus-tralian touch, described the back-o'-beyond of that country as "miles andmiles of dam-all." To the average maneven that succint phrase does not conveymuch, because we are apt to think ofthat great continent in terms of Mel-bourne centenaries. But a talk thismorning with a young New Zealander,who has tramped through that back-o'-beyond, who, bare-foot and clad only ina pair of shorts, has tramped across theCape York peninsula, across country,snake-ridden, swarming with alligators,not to mention ticks and leeches, is tohave the truth of that "miles and miles"brought home with startling clarity.
In 1930, Mr. T. Partridge, who haswandered ever since he was a little boyand his father went to war, was smittenwith the desire to see other places of theearth. He thought about Australia, andsailed from Wellington by the Marama.He landed in Sydney with £5 in hispocket, and in his own words, became"broke" within a week. It was thenthat his adventures began. Of thefashion in which he made a devious wayfrom Sydney to Cookstown, away up inthe north of Queensland, there is noneed, for the purpose of this particularstory, to speak—though much about"train-jumping" and "swagging" mightbe told.
The Way Past Cookstown.He has arrived at Cookstown—the
place where the famous navigator of thatname first touched Australia. He hasjust finished five monthsfishing in Cairns, down the coast a little.He determines, with a companion, to goaway up the York Peninsula, to the farnorthern telegraph station of Coen, onthe York Peninsula. He is warned not
go. There aro no roads, no bridges;
but being young and stubborn, he deter-mines to go. He is told of the thirst,the heat, the snakes, the alligators inthe rivers. But still he "will go. He setsout with a companion.
"What sort of country was It?" hewas asked.
He 6miled. "Imagine 200 miles ofBangitotos placed end on end," hereplied. "Hills to climb in ghastly heat;tracks to follow that weren't there; andrivers to cross that were full of alliga-tors.
Adventure with Alligator."If you look at a map you will see
that many of the rivers are not named.We named a few of them; but thosenames will never appear on a map. Iremember one river, abgut a chain wide,and differing in depth from 2ft to upto our necks. We had waded in, pastthe 2ft mark, and were up to our necke,trying to keep our swags dry. Mycompanion—l don't know why—hap-pened to look round. He saw two littlelumps, surmounting what looked like ashort black log. Both were moving.
"He gave one yell—"gator I' hescreamed, and we both made for theshore. I threw aw.ay my swag, all myshare of the food, gear and everything,and swam. He kept his, and we madethe further hank. It was a near thing;but whether you believe it or not, wegot used to the 'gators. We crossedmany such rivers—there was no otherway—and took our luck. I have killedthem, and when I tell you how youwon't believe me; but that's your affair.As they attack you can see their eyes.I have jabbed a pointed spear-stick intoone of those eyes, and saved* myself."He gave the impression of rcciting thecommonplace.
"We got to Coen—eventually. Wewalked all day in the sun, blazing hot.We burned to a dark brown—I once toldsome Thursday Island natives I was a
Maori, and they believed me. We metblacks, and asked the way from them;we toiled up mountain sides; and laylike logs at night, just where we hap-pened to stop. We got to Coen. Wehad intended to go further, but theytold us we were mad, and after whatwe had gone through, we believed them.We went back to Cookstown."
Then it was that Mr. Partridge metwith the greatest adventure of all. Heand his companion decided to go fromCookstown to Normanton, across theYork Peninsula, 500 miles of practicallyuntrodden country, much of it unknown.
Nowadays, whenever expeditions arefitted out to explore any part of suchback-country in Australia, the memberscarry gear of all sorts, rifles, plenty offood. Sometimes even they have aero-planes or tractor-cars. For two monthsthese two tramped—and their onlyarticle of clothing was a ragged pair ofshorts. They even walked barefoot.Their ■sandshoes were soon worn out.They carried blankets, and a little food;their only weapon was a substantialwaddy. Of the hell they passed throughMr. Partridge spoke without animation.He said they came to know pythons,death adders, all manner of spiders,ticks, leeches, buffaloes, alligators, hun-ger, and danger from aborigines as com-monplace, and trials to be met withevery day. "Pythons," he said depre-catingly, "well, the largest I saw was25ft. They live among rocks. Thedeath adder grows to perhaps 2ft inlength. It will lie in a track and re-fuse to move. You would have to makea detour. The tiger snake would attackyou."
"What then?" he was asked."You just had to try and kill it, or
it you," he said.Living on the Country.
"We ran out of food after a while,and we had to live on what we couldfind. We ate wild fruits, roots, berries,and we killed lizards, and we spearedfish with a native spear. There wasplenty of water—rivers. The fore6t istropical up there, palms, great trees,and tangled, matted undergrowth, milesand miles of it, in a heat that is killing.Week after week was the same, and welaboured on day after day. Y'gethardened to it, somehow. You juetstagger on foot after foot, and when theend of the day comes, you just fallwhere you are."
They met several parties of abos."One party flourished their spears andboomerangs about us; but I made theirgesture of peace, something like anIndian salaam. Their leader came upand felt our bodies. He stank. Theywanted our gear; but we knew thatwithout that we would assuredly die,so that if we had to die we would goout with guns firing. But we camethrough all right."
Of the time he was bitten by a snake;of the time he almost died from thirst,and saw desert mirages; of the peoplewho live naked underground, there maybe told another story later.
AFTER 45 YEARS.
TRIBES FORGATHER.
KING KOROKI AT ROTORUA.AHAWA-WAIKATO MEETING.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent,)
ROTORUA, this day.An important event among natives in
this district was the arrival this after-noon of King Koroki Tawhiao, accom-panied by representatives of manytribes. This is accepted as a gesture toheal the breach which has existedbetween the Arawa and Waikato tribesfor 45 years.
A ceremony is to take place at Rotoltion Friday, when the new dining hallwill be opened, also a conference on avariety of questions affecting the wel-fare of the Maori people. It is expectedthat the meeting will continue untilMonday.
King Koroki's party has taken upquarters in the Maori development areaat Tikitere. Arrangements in connec-tion with the visit are in the hands ofPrincess Te Puea, who is assisted by theRev. The opening of the hallwill be attended by full native cere-monial.
A Gazette notice issued announcesthat summer time will come into force at2 o'clock, New Zealand standard time,on the morning of Sunday, September 30,and end at 2 o'clock on the morning ofSunday, April 28, 1935. Time will beadvanced thirty minutes on September30, and will be put back thirty minuteson April 28.
STATE CONTROL?MORTGAGE BOARD.
MINISTER QUESTIONED.
POLICY NOT YET 3>ECH>EI>.
(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)
WELLINGTON, this day.The possibility of the proposed
National Mortgage Corporation beingcontrolled by State appointments was
referred to by the Minister of Finance,Mr. Coates, in the House of Representa-tives last night. He said the corpora-tion would mean that the mortgageewould have better security and themortgagor would obtain better rates ofinterest.
Tlie Leader of the Opposition, Mr.Savage: Is it the intention to have thecorporation under State control?
Mr. Coates: It depends on what youmean by State control ?
Mr. Savage: What I mean is this—Isit the intention of the Government tohave a majority on the administrativeboard?
Mr. Coates said it was not hisintentionto wipe out private enterprise, but toprovide a measure of security for theinvestor and thus ensure a greater flowof investments. At the present timethe banks and investment companieswere embarrassed by the volume ofdeposits, and the corporation would pro-vide an avenue through which much ofthis money could be invested. The jmarket would test out what the farmer iwould have to pay for his money. Thejmortgagee would be assured of a return Ifor his investment, and regular pay-ment of his interest.
Mr. Savage: Will the corporation beState-controlled ?
Mr. Coates said that it was obviousthat the Government would hav« tomake some appointments to the board,but whether the appointments would beGovernment officers was a matter of jpolicy which had not yet been discussed, jHowever, he thought the board wouldbe controlled by appointments made bythe State. I
DEADLY STOATS.
HAWKE'S BAY MENACE
HEAVY LOSSES OF LAMBS.OVER 60 ON ONE PROPERTY.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
NAPIER, this day.Stoats are suspected of being the cause
of wholesale mortality among lambs. Ona well-known Hawke's Bay farming pro-perty over 60 lambs have been killedwithin the past week in circumstanceswhich suggest ravages of some memberof the rodent family. The property i3one on which last year there were heavylosses among lambs through attacks byseagulls, but the new menace is respon- |sible for much heavier mortality, and is jmoreover one which is presenting greaterdifficulty in efforts to combat it. i
I Although a pack of rabbit dogs hasI been employed on the property daringthe past week in an endeavour to dis-cover the sleeping quarters of the ftoatsno traces have yet been found. Equallyunsuccessful has been the practice ofmaintaining a watch on paddocks atnight, although the fact that there weremen in the vicinity undoubtedly madethe attackers more wary and reduced thedeath roll, as is indicated by the factthat the heaviest mortality occurred lastTuesday night when, owing to drivingrain and bitterly cold conditions, thewatcli was lifted early in the evening. Inthe morning 13 carcases were foundlying about the paddocks. In every caseblood on the wool of the lambs near thenecks indicated the presence of tinyholes, evidently inflicted by the razor-like teeth of a stoat or similar animal.
The fact that the lambs killed werein the great majority of cases fully amonth old and in good health conditionis evidence of tha strength and ferocityof the attackeVs. The difficulties fac-ing those who are watching the paddock'at night can be appreciated when it isrealised that one lamb was killed anddrained of blood one night this weekwithin two or three chains of the pointwhere a watcher was stationed. De-spite his alertness he heard no sound.
Farmers in the district "who have ex-amined dead lambs and have had experi-ence of depredations of stoats in the pastexpress the opinion that the deaths mustbe the results of attacks by either stoatsor weasels. In the meantime, althoughattempts to trap the animals have notbeen relaxed, the owner of the propertyhas realised that ho cannot afford tolose as much as £10 a night, and baghad the inconvenience of finding new;pasturage for his flock in 6afer suihroundings.
GOLD RESERVES.
"NO PRACTICAL USE."
EXPORT TO LONDON URGED.
(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)
WELLINGTON, this day."Although gold coin was in circulation
! prior to the war, the sterling exchangei system operated then and continued tooperate when the gold coin wis replacedby an inconvertible note issue under warconditions," states the Monetary Com-mittee's report in dealing with thoestablishment of the Reserve Bank. "Itoperated, however, on a voluntary btssis,for the oringinal banking legislationframed to govern banking on a self-contained gold standard, contained noprovision under which anyone couldlegally demand sterling in exchange forNew Zealand money.
"The gold reserves held in New Zea-land have never played any real part inthe monetary system, but were kept tocomply with statutory requirements andsupport a circulation of gold coin. Withthe passing of the Reserve Bank Act,which over-rides the previous legislation,the gold has ceased to be of any prac-tical use, and it would be of consider-able benefit to the Dominion if what isnow a 'dead' asset was promptly ex-ported to London and converted intoliquid interest-earning assets.
"The Reserve Bank would then holdthe funds where they would be most use-ful, while the substantial profit likely toaccrue from the sale of gold whencredited to the public account in termsof section 15 of the Reserve Bank Actwould assist materially in relieving th#strain on the public finances at a criticaltime, and thus be of great benefit to tl>fcommunity."

THE APPEAL IN AUSTRALIA.
Only whispers of the Federal electioncampaign have come across the Tasman.Distance does not wholly account for this.The preparation for to-morrow's polling hasbeen described as the quietest on record. Forthis the improvement in economic conditionsin Australia may be partly responsible, andsatisfaction with the Federal Government'srecord may be another factor. But a new
cause of quietness is the unprecedented useof radio as a means of reaching the people.Numbers of electors are listening to the voicesof candidates without leaving their homes.Passion may be roused in a hall, but hardlyin a drawing room miles away from thespeaker. Not only have the leaders of theparties addressed the nation through themain broadcasting stations, but vigorouspropaganda has been sent through the airfrom others. The Labour Party, quite in themanner of Russia, has even broadcasted playsin which the banker is the villain of the piece.
It is expected that the Lyons Governmentwill come back the strongest party. Thequestion is, however, whether it will besufficiently strong to be able to do withoutthe support of the Country Party. In thenature of things it is almost certain that theGovernment will lose some seats. The party,like the Coalition in Britain, was elected on awave of enthusiasm, and there is always areaction against such a sweeping movement.There are four parties. The United AustraliaParty (the Government) and the UnitedCountry Party stand against Labour, but theyare divided by differences in respect to thetariff. It was because the Country Party wasnot given the Customs Department in ' theCoalition Ministry after the last election thatit hived off. The United Australia Partystands for Protection, and may be said,roughly, to represent city industries. TheCountry Party represents the farmers andstands for downward revision of the tariff.Labour is fighting under two flags- that ofMr. Scullin, who once was Federal PrimeMinister, and that of Mr. J. T. Lang,ex-Premier of New South Wales. The lattersection is confining its campaigning to NewSouth "Wales. Labour is concentrating onbanking and currency. The Government Partysays there should be no political interferencewith currency and banking; the Country Partywishes for investigation; Labour demandsnationalisation of banking. In order to gaina complete majority Labour must double itspresent strength in the House and carry 16out of the 18 vacant seats in the Senate. Ifa forecast of the result may be ventured, it isthat the United Australia Party will bedependent upon Country Party support, whichwill mean that a compromise will have to bereached on fiscal policy.
BANKS AND MONEY.
Nothing coul'd be more powerful than thestatement of the Monetary Committee as anendorsement of the Government's action infounding the Reserve Bank. On issues whichhave called for. co-operationbetween the banksand the Government, the Committee find thatconsiderations of profit have been allowedby the banks to outweigh the national interest.Had it not been so, had the Bank of NewZealand supported the Government to the fullextent of its power in the face of recent■difficulties, there would have been no need ofa Reserve Bank, states the report. Further,the Committee exonerates the Government fromblame in attaching the blot of a penalty clauseto its internal debt conversion, and declares,that the fault lay with the banks in refusingto place the full weight of their resourcesbehind the State in launching the scheme. Theposition in regard to the high exchange is wellknown. The banks, by their stand on thismatter, were able to drive a hard bargain andsecurei from the Government an indemnityguarantee. Not only this, but in the next step,when the Government began to borrow fromtho banks on Treasury notes to purchasesurplus sterling crfedits, as they began to pileup in London, the banks charged the Govern-ment interest at a rate which the Committeestigmatises as "exorbitant." Prom their bestborrower, on the best security availablein the Dominion, the banks demanded interestat 5 per cent and over, and all that theGovernment could get by investing theLondon funds it purchased with the borrowedmoney was a fraction of 1 per cent. Foreighteen months the banks continued to treatthe Government in this way. The indemnityby itself , was a serious weakness, from theviewpoint of the public, in the high exchangeexperiment; with bank interest loaded on topit was unbearable. What the outcome of theexperiment will be no one can tell. HieReserve Bank is now in control, and theindemnity which was formerly given to thetrading banks is now given to it, but with thisimportant difference, that the interest onTreasury bills is lower to-day than the countryhas ever known, and the bank is guided in itspolicy not by the. desire for profits—for theyare limited by law—but by the nationalinterest.
The Committee reveals a picture of com-petitive banking which, while it has undoubt-edly conferred benefits, has brought waste andloss upon tile whole community. It recom-mends that the stock and station agents andother outside institutions which carry onbanking operations should be brought undercontrol, and it makes a strong point of theneed for lower rates on overdrafts. Cheapermoney it rightly regards as essential for therecovery of trade and industry, and this itconsiders should not wait upon reductions intaxation. The banks should make substantial
reductions now. For the present glut ofdeposits it says, what should be obvious toeveryone, the remedy is to make it lessprofitable to leave money lying in thebanks. And, to give the Reserve Bankgreater powers to expand credit, theCommittee takes the view that theAct should be amended, increasing the limitallowed for the buying of Governmentsecurities.
It is not surprising to learn that theCommittee was little impressed by thedozens of monetary plans and proposalswith which it was bombarded, and itsdismissal of Douglas Credit as of noimportance was a foregone conclusion. Thereport includes this gem of felicitousphrasing, that the Douglas system is"merely economics through the wishing-glass." The whole report is an example ofclear and penetrating analysis of monetaryand financial conditions in the Dominion,and shows the hand of the trainedeconomist. The value of expert knowledgeand training has been recognised by theState, and the services of economists havebeen enlisted in this country as elsewherein dealing with national problems. Thereare two dissents from the recommendationsin the main report, one by three Labourmembers and Mr. Rushworth, who declarefor a larger note circulation, andthe other by Mr. Downic Stewart, whocontends that the Committee has beeninconsistent in taking the banks to taskwhen it admits that the fall in, pricesoverseas was the cause of depression in thisDominion. The Committee's point, however,is that the banks could have done muchmore to ease the pressure caused by fallingprices.
NEWS OF THE DAY.Skirl at Station
A Scottish send-oflf to the Thistle Asso-ciation football team which is to play in Wel-lington on Saturday for the Chatham tup
final was given by friends of the St. Andrew sPipe Band as the Limited left the Aucklandstation last night. The skirl of bagpipesmakes rare hearing at the station. Whetherit proved inspirational to the footballers re-
mains to be seen. Tha Auckland Thistleteam is to play the Christchurch Thistle team
for the final.
Exit Opunake Wharf.The last has been heard of the Opunake
wharf and mole staging, so far as ratepayeisof the Opnnake harbour district arc concerned,reports the Hawera "Star." The board hasfinally disposed of both the wharf and stagingfor demolition, and a clieqnc has been receivedfor the amount which, allowing for the expen-diture already entailed therewith, -leaves acredit of £4*ll, which will be placed to thesinking fund, and will earn compound inter-est until the time when the board's loan ex-pires, when the accrued amount will be placedtowards the redemption of the loan.
Accidental Art.One window in Messrs. Adair Brothers
frontage in Gisbornc was carefully left un-polished on Monday morning, in order to pre-serve a most interesting phenomenon. Highup on the pane of plate glass the cleanersfound a remarkable silhouette of a bird, ofabout the size of a pigeon, clearly printedupon the surface of the glass. Apparentlythe bird had flown directly up to the windowpane, fluttered there for no more than instant,and then departed, leaving the tracing of itsbody, wings and tail in outline upon theglass. In the tracing, individual featherscould be distinguished plainly, and it washard to believe that the silhouette was notproduced by artificial means, and by a veryclever artificer at that.
'Plane for Australia.The aeroplane built by Mr. R. G. Ouston
in a workshop in Wellington Place is to bepacked and taken to Melbourne by the builderin the first available ship without undergoingtrials here. It was formerly Mr. Oustin'sintention to have his machine, a single-seatermidwing cabin monoplane, which he has calledthe "Samco Scout," tested in Auckland beforehe took it to Melbourne for the CentenaryCelebrations, but he states that procedure inNew Zealand is "so bound up with red tape"that if he waited for the 'plane to be testedhere ho would not be able to reach Melbournefor the Centenary, and he therefore intendsto have it tested in Australia.
The Flight of Time.An incident more 'amusing' than it ap-
peared occurred at the Police v. Tost andTelegraph football match in Napier. Justprior to the commencement of the game a ladwas seen running across the field of play. Aburly constable intercepted the lad, appar-ently with the idea of charging' him withtrespass and collecting a fine in aid of theCopper Trail Fund. A brief explanation servedto send the lad running off again without anyfine being imposed. It subsequently tran-spired that the lad was carrying the time-keeper's watch to hint, it having been left ina dressing room, and the reason for the boybeing allowed to proceed without more adowas that the constable had no warrant to,,arrest the flight of time.
Cricket Technicalities.The suggestion that to ask old cricketers
to sit for an examination before their appoint-ment as umpires was something of a bogy tothem was made by Mr. C. G. Wilson at theannual meeting of the Wellington CricketUmpires' Association. Technical points, suchas questions relating to the circumference ofa cricket ball, the width of a cricket bat,height and width of the stumps, etc., couldbe raised, he said, and they would "catch"members of the association and many oldcricketers., He contended that old players, forfear of being caught on some technical point,would not undergo an examination. It wasnecessary, of course, that an umpire shouldbe qualified to •'.ct, hut there was no need togo into technical questions. Mr. D. McKenziosaid that a member of the association wasonly required, to )»ass an examination beforeappointment as a senior umpire.
Most Popular Flower.So far as voting lias progressed in the
poll at present being taken by the AucklandHorticultural Society at its Town Hall slio-.vto elioose the native flower deemed most suit-able as a national emblem, the kowhai is inthe lead, with clematis second. The kowhaiproved to be the most popular at the samevoting held in Wellington. The figures are:—Kowhai, 97; clematis, 87; manuka, 51; polm-tukawa, 45; rata, 14; fern leaf, !). Consider-able interest is being taken in the poll, whichis open to all visitors. A card is displayedwith the same flowers on it that were .usedin Wellington—kowhai clematis, manuka,pohutukawa and rata. It was thought thatthese would be the most popular flowers, butthe public was allowed-to vote for any otherthey chose. Examples of all cxcept the pohu-tukawa, which at this time is not procurable,were exhibited. The low position of the fernleaf is thought to be due to tho fact thatpeople have regarded the competition as deal-in? only with flowers. Perhaps the fact thatthe pity is full of the spring flowers, kowhaiand clematis, has something to do with theirpopularity.
Pipe Line to Birkenhead.Further concrete packing had been placed
under the trans-liarbour water pipe line fromthe city to Birkenhead, 6tated the waterworksengineer, Mr. A. D. Mead, in a repoi-t pre-sented to the Auckland City Council lastevening. Where the harbour bottom wasuneven, the pipe had rested on rocky projec-tions, but the intervening gaps had been
packed up at intervals bv concrete packcd•dry in bags. This work had been done by adirer, and the pipe was now rigidly sup-ported.
Future Councillors?Eighteen members of the Junior Chamber
of Commerce were present at last night'smeeting of the City Council in response to aninvitation from the Mayor. In welcoming thevisitors, the Mayor said members of suchorganisations should be encouraged to attendmeetings of the City Council. It would en-courage them to take an interest in civicaffairs, and might inspire the• -! toward futurecivic service. ITe was sure that members ofother organisations would be welcome toattend future meetings of the touncil.
Signs and Road Sense."It seems that the better roads_ we give
them the greater the diminution in roadsense," said the chairman, Mr. S. Vickers, atthe meeting of the Taranaki County Council,when a request was received from the Far-mers' Union asking that all bad approachesto bridges and all bad bends be signed "BadBridge" or "Bad Bend" and be written on theroad in white paint. "We will soon have tohave a man with a big stick on bad corners.We already have so many signs that if weadd any more a motorist will have to pull upto read them. The careful motorist needs nosigns, and if he is in a strange district he iseven more careful. Wo cannot spend moremoney on these things." iFlights Into Space.
Flights to and from the planetary systemundoubtedly will be accomplished some timein the future, said Mr. Claude 11. Ilinton inhis address to the Auckland AstronomicalSociety. First of the considerations in thebuilding of a conveyance for such liigiitswould be a concentrated fuel. The vastnessof the solar system alone could be gauged bya realisation that although light travelled atthe rate of 1811,000 miles a second, it wouldrequire more than eight hours to cross thesystem. Yet the nearest star was 4500 timesthat distance away from the earth. One ofthe scientific proposals for flights into spacementioned by Mr. Ilinton was that of a Ger-man engineer to establish a floating depotabout 1,000,000 miles from the earth.
Tamaki Improvement.The suggestion that if any improvements
were to be made to the Tamaki district thosethat should receive first consideration shouldbe a swimming pool, a breakwater for thesafe anchorage of boats, boat sheds and roadsin general was received by the City Councillast night in a letter from the TamakiWomen's Progressive League. Referring tothe proposed improvements to Cliff Road, theletter stated that it was felt that the roadwas not in the best interests of Tamaki, asthere was a possibility of a cabaret beingopened* there. It was also felt that therewere other roads that should receive priorattention. There was also a storm water drainin the Parade that overflowed when heavyrain fell.Mayor to Go to Melbourne.
The Mayor, Mr. 0. W. Hutchison, reportednt last night's council meeting that he liasreceived an invitation from the Lord Mayorof Melbourne, as chairman of the CentenaryCelebrations Council, to attend the celebra-tions to be held in Melbourne during Octoberand November. The dates coincided with Mrs.Hutchison's arrival in Melbourne on her re-turn from London. Acceptance of the invita-tion and appropriate sailing dates would in-volve leave of absence for the month ofNovember, and possibly the first council meet-ing in Deaember. No expense would devolveupon the council, as the Centenary Celebra-tions Council had generously ottered to defraythe cost of transport and accommodation, andany other expenses incurred would, of course,be paid for personally. The members of thecouncil approved of the Mayor accepting theinvitation.
A Fire Thrower.A large attendance of farmers at the
premises of Messrs. Wright, Stephenson andCompany in Wanganui last week took a livelyinterest in a demonstration with a lirethrower. The equipment is designed to aidfarmers in their fight against gorse andnoxious growths generally. A container, hold-ing three gallons of crude oil, has been soarranged that it can be carried on a man'sback. A long tube, with a tap to act as acontrol of a burner nt the far end, facilitatesthe throwing of a scorching llame for severalyards, the crude oil being sprayed through theburner with a great deal of force. Every-thing within reach scorches immediately. Onthe area used at the demonstration the growthwas entirely green, liut the (lame was thor-oughly devastating and indicated how destruc-tive it could be in patches of young gorse, infern or scrub.
Noisy Hospital Floors.Tho slipperine.ss and noisiness of hospital
floors was commented on by Professor HarveySutton at Sydney a few days back. "I havealways wondered .about hospital floors," liesaid, at the annual meeting of the RachelForatcr Hospital at Beaumont House. "In theJSast mosque floors are covered with felt, andthose who enter take off their shoes at thodoor. There is complete silence within. "Iam not suggesting that doctors should takeoff their shoes, but hospital floors should benoiseless, easily cleaned and safe." The tap-tap of the nurses' high-heeled shoes, tnctramp of the resident medical oflicer, or the.pontifical tread of the matron, must beequally disturbing to patients, he said, whilefrequently/tho sister in charge of the wardperformed the evolutions of a skater to getquickly from one end to the other. "Teak,"said Dr. Sutton, "must have a baleful influ-ence on head ward sisters, who insist uponit being highly polished. I would withdrawfrom hospital subsidies an equivalent amountto that spent on floor polish. We have rubber'in the passageways and in the theatre. Whycannot we have it in the wards, and help therubber industry, in which, however, I have noshares?" he added.Anglers" Badges.
Anglers, upon requesting permission topass through properties to fisli in portions ofrivers unattainable otherwise, have occasion-ally met with curt refusals, and even markeddiscourtesy, because tjic owner has sufferedpreviously through gates being left open, stockdisturbed, or damage done by lire. Anglersas a rule are careful of other people's pro-perty, and though this does not give them theright of entry, it is usual where the angleris known to be such a careful person to givepermission. The 'badges which arc to be wornby members of the recently-formed AnglingClub in Wellington will have a twofold pur-pose. They will show the proprietor that thewearer subscribes to the policy of the clubto respect the rights and property of owners,and, as each badge is numbered, the identityof the angler can be ascertained. Already anumber of property owners have expressedsatisfaction at this step, and have gladlyoffered to admit members wearing the badge.The other good purpose which will be-servedis amongst anglers themselves, who willrecognise in the wearers those who have atheart the best interests of the sport, and willbe the more ready to give advice and perhapsremedy the unexpected loss of a cast or passover the fly that is taking which is unfor-tunately not in the other's book. - J
CONTRACT BRIDGE
DOUBLING LOW CONTRACTS.
(By ELY CULBEKTSOX.)
England. has taken up the game of dupli-cate bridge with almost an much enthusiasmas America. The team-of-four game, which isthe ideal form of duplicate, is especially popu-lar, and matches between various cities havecreated additional interest.
One of the hands in a team-of-four matchbetween Liverpool players and a team repre-senting the British Bridge World was:
It is not necessary to point out that thishand was not properly bid in either room.East's opening bid is, of course, correct, butSouth's vulnerable over-call of two Clu'bs is,to say the least, very questionable. It isextremely doubtful if the hand lias any futurewhatever, and South may well be doubled forpenalties and suffer a heavy loss even at therange of two. On the whole, the risk of apenalty double is greater than the hope ofmaking the contract.
In Room 1 it will be noted that North madean even worse bid when he called two notrump over West's double of the two-Clubbid. Eaet's failure to double two no trumpafter his partner had doubled two Clubs wasanother mistake in the bidding. At least, ifhe was unwilling to double, he should havepassed and permitted his partner in Ihc Westto take further action. This course wouldhave resulted in a penalty of from 1400 to2000 points, as West unquestionably, with hisreasonable fit in Hearts and other strength,would have doubled the two-no-trump contract,as he did that of two Clubs. As it was, Eastand West stopped short of a game contract.
In Room 2, where South played the handat two Clubs doubled, North and South lost500 points.
How should East and West bid the handsbelow provided North and South bid as highas four Spades?
TRACTS FOR THE TIMES.
STATE FUNCTIONS.
POLITICS AND ECONOMY.
(By PRO BONO PUBLICO.)I was once privileged to listen to a con-
versation between two able and serious menon the expansion of the functions of govern-ment. One of them had lamented the growinginterference of government in the daily livesof the people, and the other held that thisinterference was quite inevitable. The talkwas not on any definite proposition, but wan-dered off in statement and reply, touching onmany phases of politics and sociology. Themain thread of the argument, however, wasconcerned with the possibility—and desira-bility—of divorcing the economic life of a com-munity from the political.
You may think that such an argumentwould 'bo wholly futile. One of my friendswas not of that opinion, the other was. Theyagreed that the two main aims of governmentwere to order tho relations between tho citi-zens and to secure the citizens the widest pos-sible scope in which they might cxcrciee theirindividual powers. If you put liberty first,then the other aim of government is to seethat the liberties of sonic do not encroach ontho liberties of others, and government hastherefore to lay down conditions for the exer-cise of individual freedom. You will sec,therefore, fliat while one of my friends wasemphasising the aim of liberty, the other wasinsisting 011 the importance of order.
The view of the first was that the Stateshould lav down the conditions or the prin-ciples that should be enforced on the economiclife of the people and leave the people, byco-operation, to work out the details. Thesecond held that civilised communities had notyet advanced sufficiently to be trusted to putthe principles of conditioned liberty intooperation, and therefore the State had- tolegislate constantly and expand its organisa-tion in order to enforce the observance ofwhatever principles were laid down.
I was reminded strongly of this discussionwhen reading a magazine article in whichMajor Unviek, an industrialist of wide experi-ence and international reputation, argues for"the elimination of politics from economic■life." Major Unviek seems to believe thatindustry can reach the maximum efficiency—eliminating waste, cheapening production,maintaining or increasing wages and increas-ing tho leisure of both executive officers andworkers—by some form of organised co-opera-tion under intelligent direction, and it is mani-fest that he regards political interference,often influenced :bv emotion, as being fatal toeconomic success.
What distresses the advocate of liberty inthe modern trend of politics is the feeling thatthe outcome of political action in the economicfield must be either the Russian system orthe Italian, in both of which politics have beengiven an entirely economic intention. In theargument I have summarised one of myfriends asked whether politics ever could haveanything but an economic intention—the pro-tection of the economic privileges of the fewor of the rights of the many; and the otherone replied that rights, whether, economic orintellectual, could be secured to a people onlyif its spiritual ideas and its moral standardsand traditions were high enough to make themsecure. The moral standards of a State, saidthis second man. were always a little lowerthan those of the people—otherwise therenever need be anything in the shape of areform movement.
THE PASSING SHOW.(By THE MAN ABOUT TOWN.)
Scotland. Yard is sending to Scotland fora new chief because Mr. Bull wants LordTrenchard to look after new air affairs. Cap-
tain P. Ji Sillitoe, ChiefFOOTBALL Constable of Glasgow, is
BANNED, to be the supreme bobbyin London, -and New Zea-
landers may be interested in the man withthe quaint name because he is the fellow whoactually had the nerve to order constables notto play football. When he was chief at Shef-field—where .football teams grow in everycutlery manufactory—the police football teamwas meeting to decide the season's fixtures.Captain Sillitoe intervened and said hewouldn't have any football. If constablesmust play a game—why not hockey? Hispoint was that during the previous season six-teen constables had been knocked out at foot-ball—several for keeps—and that a total oftwo hundred and thirty-one days had been lostby injured policemen. He doesn't like police-men to play dangerous games. He himselfgoes in for big game shooting for recreation.
Here is an illuminated card, nicely litho-graphed with a leaf and vase motif, containingthe following announcement: "Evening Bell.

Investigations produce littlehistory in regard to the paper, except that oldCharlie Montrose ("C.0."), a Maori Warsoldier of literary tendencies, threw his peninto the strife and that Morgan Morris like-wise rushed into print. By the way, that firstprize of twenty pounds was probably equal invalue to sixty of the best in these day3.

His killing three lemons and steppingthrough the paper cover of a jam pot mav bonow considered Victorian humour. The heavypoll scored by Dick Whittington's cat andBeth Gelert's dog provokes criticism. Thefeline character is fiction of fiction, since thomyth was started through Dick's "achat" (or"purchase") being misread "chat," or "cat."Perhaps readers liked the idea of uncommonfidelity being displayed by an animal so notori-ously home-loving and homing in characteris-tics—and thus so rare as a comp/jiion of manon the march.

One of the best troophorses in the 14th Hussars was Jock, a baygelding by an English thoroughbred out of ahalf Arab, half country-bred mare. He was
a trained scout horse, had perfect manners,and could jump like a stag, but, oh, hismouth! 'Solid iron!" He was one of thevery, very few horses I ever knew who hada naturally hard mouth, and he would be saw-ing away at his bit at the end of the longestday. He never tired, and on one occasion Irode him for sixty-two miles in one march.He throve on half-rations, and kept his con-dition throughout three years of strenuouswork in the heat of Mesopotamia and thebitter cold of Northern Persia. Near Hama-dan he chewed, and digested, half a blanket.I used to carry a handkerchief full of "jogri"(unrefined native sugar), and he loved" it.One of the liorsrs in V Battery, RoyalHorse Artillery (Seventh Cavalry Brigade)was another "character," but as cunning asthey make 'em.

IN THE PUBLIC MINDHIGHER WAGES.
POSITION OF ARBITRATION COURT.(To the Editor.)
The recent announcement by the Ministerof Finance—the increase of salaries to publicservants—will be received with satisfaction bvall classes of the community. But the deci-sion of the Prime Minister, Mr. Forbes, notto allow the Arbitration Court power to gener-ally increase wages will be read with astonish-ment. The "pay-if-you-can" proposal of Mr.Forbes obviously will lead nowhere. In thesedays of competition one cannot expect one firmto restore "cuts," while a rival maintains aniggardly policy. The Civil Service increase,together with a general rise in salaries andwages, could not but succeed in improving thecountry's position, for there are few homes inthe country where repairs, renewals andreplacements arc not becoming an importantnecessity, and therefore the money circulatedby any increase would immediately effect animprovement in trade and business, therebyfurther lessening unemployment. Parliamenthas now an opportunity of adopting a boldpolicy of really reducing taxation and increas-ing the purchasing power of an awakenin"people. VERB SAP.

SUPERANNUATION.
In reply to "A State Superannuitant's"letter in your issue of the 7th inst. I wouldrefer him to mine in your issue of the Bth—written, however, before his appeared. Theofficial figures quoted should be sufficient toshow him what a great "wicket" he is on. Italso proves my contention that "the greaterportion of his allowance is a gift from theState." He makes the ridiculous admissionthat it may be partly a gratuity from theSuperannuation Board. Surely he knows thatthis board only administers the funds—theGovernment paying into it the huge sumsmentioned in my previous letter. He furthermaintains that these funds are quite solventand will remain so as long as the Government"stands behind" them. Is that not admitting'that except for this "standing behind" theywould soon be in queer street? Is it not,therefore, quite inconsistent of him to denythat he is receiving a "gift from the State"?There are cases on record where annuitantsare drawing more annually than they paid induring the whole of their service. I contendthat ifc is not "cricket" for the Governmentto show such favouritism. Again may I askjust why should ex-State employees be placedin a glass case where taxation is concerned?
Your correspondent cannot imagine the Statesuperannuation fund being "self-supporting."Well, let me ask him why shouldn't it he.Your other correspondent "A Small Super-annuitant" seems more reasonable and admitshe is getting away with it. But would he notcomplain if he were a tradesman and his shopwas robbed, not by thieves, but by the powersthat be and his goods taken and divided amongcertain of his fellow tradesmen? However,it is not the small men 'but the big ones whomI think should "share the burden."
JOHN CITIZEN.
OUR DEBT TO RUSSIA.
ilr. S. G. Smith's contribution to the dis-cussion on the recent free speech demonstra-tions would be far more amusing were it notso incongruously pathetic. Why is it that-the opponents of free speech always have todrag in the "Old Union Jack"? Apparentlythey think that it waves for them alone.They, in one breath, deny those who holdviews contrary to their own, the right tovoice them, yet claim the Union Jack givesthe only true freedom to all who owe alle-giance to it. Mr. Smith launches a bitterattack upon Russia, and then says, "We whohave seen the greatest war in history," etc.Evidently.he 'has only hearsay knowledge ofthe war he so glibly speaks of. We who- werebattling against a superior number in the firstyears of the war he refers to can still remem-ber how thankful we were when Russia pene-trated into Germany itself, and caused thehurried withdrawal of four divisions of Ger-many's best troops from the Western Front.Poor old (now) despised Ivan, inefficientlyarmed and equipped, and badly officered as hewas, was the only one of the Allies to set footon German soil during hostilities. I amneither a Socialist nor pacifist. I served inaction, as a volunteer, under three Britishsovereigns and received a medal from each.So I think I can claim a place beneath theold Union Jack. There are ample laws gov-erning what may be said in public, and, unlessthose laws are broken, everyone, irrespectiveof his or her political opinions, should havean equal right of speech. By the way, Mr.S. G. Smith entered Parliament as a "SocialDemocrat." Can anyone inform me what thatmeans? . GRAHAM HOLMES.
BACK-DATE MAGAZINES.
The recent action of tho British Govern-ment in imposing a prohibitive dumping dutyoil back-date magazines imported fromAmerica has aroused much interest amonglocal booksellers and not a little concern.The natural inference is that, finding thoBritish market impossible, the big back-dateselling organisations of America will turntheir attention in a stronger way to Australiaand New Zealand. Tho figures as far as NewZealand is concerned are amazing. In spiteof tlie depression tho importations of back-date magazines into New Zealand has actuallygrown. From information gathered fromreliable sources the number of such publica-tions now being imported into this countrytotal well over half a million per annum. Thistype of magazine is for tho most part of avery low standard. Sensation and sex a-rothe main theme of most of the stories. Tholiterary quality is poor. Some idea of thenature of the contents may be gathered froma list of titles secured from one of the whole-sale lists of one of the biggest American dis-tributing houses: "Underworld," "UnderworldNovelettes," "Sexology," "French Nite LifeStories," "Artists and Models," "French 'ArtStudies," "Snappy," "Thrilling Love," "Spicy."The opponents of this back-date invasion claimthat it incorporates three big evils, a devas-tating effect on the legitimate magazine tradeand the booksellers concerned, a lowering ofthe literary standard of the readers in bothcountries, the moral aspect as affected bysuper-6cx and super-sensational reading.
TRADITION".
FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
You must choose between freedom of speechand government, for you cannot have 'both.Already we have laws prohibiting sedition,blasphemy, indecency, libel, etc., which, Iregret to say, your paper sometimes appearsto forget. You may resent this statement offact, but that should bring home to yon arealisation that in a letter, as well a*, overthe telephone, one cannot lawfully indulge infreedom of speech. There are numerous, waysin which persons use their tongue.? to injureothers and the State, which are not yet pro-hibited by law, and it is the duty of ourParliamentarians to frame legislation to pre-vent these abuses. Numerous and variousinstances of these I would give, but you oughtto be able to think of these yourself, andindicate the same to your readers. Your pleafor freedom of speech is nothing short ofanarchy and sedition.

RADIO AND RESCUE DELAY.(United I'.A.—Electric Telegraph-Copyright,
(Itoceived 0..10 a.m.)NEW \OKK, September 13.
The Federal board of inquiry whichis investigating (he Morro Castle firedisaster resumed its sittings yester-day.
The chief officer, James M. Henderson,and the third officer, Harold Peterson,of the rescue liner President Cleveland,told the board that they did not wishto serve longer with Captain Robert E.Carey, of the President Cleveland,because they charged that he delayed insending lifeboats to the aid of theMorro Castle.
Peterson said he believed more livescould have been saved if the PresidentCleveland's lifeboats had put out sooner.
Captain Carey said that two life-boats were lowered "as ,10011 as wecould," but he added that 110 people werepicked up as his men reported they didnot see any to rescue.
Mr. George IV. Rogers, chief radiooperator of the Morro Castle, in furtherevidence, said his instructions to sendthe S.O.S. call were not available untilthe furnishings in the radio room wereburning and all but emergency sendingequipment had been put out of com-mission bv the extreme heat.
No Co-operation.Witness said that his first assistant,
Alagna, as well as Charles M&ekay, hissecond assistant, went to the bridge forinstructions. Mackav did not return,but Alagna eventually returned, saying:"Let us get out of here. They are run-ning round the bridge and I cannot getany co-operation."
During this delay, continued Mr.Rogers, the freighter Luckenbach couldplainly seo the burning vessel and re-peatedly asked over the radio: "Whatis your ship's position V' and "What canwe do ?" However, for some reason, theS.O.S. order was still delayed.
Finally, on his own initiative, Mr.Rogers sent a "stand by" signal andsent Alagna on a second trip to thebridge. Shortly afterward he returnedwith the S.O.S. order.
Bv that time the power was off andtho radio room was in darkness. Withthe aid of a pocket flash-light andemergency storage batteries Mr. Rogerssaid he flashed the S.O.S. and continuedto do so until he collapsed from theeffects of smoke and fumes.
Witness said that Alagna draggedhim on deck and somebody pushed himinto a lifeboat.
An ironical fact was that Mr. Rogerswas forced to state that Alagna, theman who saved his life, was considereda radical and a trouble-maker by thelato Captain Wilmot, who died on theMorro Castle before the fire.

It is understood that the OttomanRailway Co., a British company, is nego-tiating with the Turkish AgriculturalBank for the purchase of large parcelsof wheat. The objective is to sell inBritain, using the proceeds to pay divi-dends due to British shareholders. Thisis the only method available owing tothe rccent stringent regulations concern-ing Turkish currency export.
Other foreign concerns, operating inTurkey, are being obliged to adopt asimilar course. j

QUOTA SHIPMENTS.
(United P.A.—Electric Telegraph-Copyright)
(Received 12.J30 p.m.)ADELAIDE, this day.
"It is regrettable that certain in-terests have seen fit to circulate un-founded reports of the quality andprice of South Australian oranges,"said the Minister of Agriculture, Mr.Blessing, following a deputation ofgrowers who desired to contradictstatements which had been made inNew Zealand.
Mr. Blessing said that South Aus-tralia was free from the Mediterraneanfly. It was incorrect to say that aSouth Australian monopoly of theexport of oranges to New Zealand madethem excessively dear.
"Oranges can only enter New Zealandup to the quota lixed by the New Zea-land Government, and there must besome central control over there," he said."All growers can ship 011 a pro rata basisaccording to their production, providedthe fruit is of the high quality neededfor export."

A BOMBSHELL.
LEAGUE ASSEMBLY.
Poland Will Not Collaborate inProtecting Minorities.
EASTERN LOCARNO DEAD?
(United P. A.—Electric Telegraph—Copy right!
(Received 1 p.m.)LONDON, September 13.
A message from Geneva says thatthe Polish Foreign Minister, ColonelJoseph Beck, dropped a bombshell inthe League Assembly by announcingthat Poland henceforth would refuseto collaborate with the League's inter-national organs for the protection ofminorities.
Poland was taking this step becauseother Powers had not seemed anxiousto accept Poland's constant requests fora generalisation of the minority clausesof the Versailles Treaty and the sub-mission of the matter to ail inter-national conference.
Colonel Beck protested against the in-adequacy of the present system, andurged that the League should include inthe agenda for next Assembly a com-prehensive reconstruction of the exist-ing regime on a more durable and well-defined basis.
ITe added that Poland would continueto protect her own minorities throughthe Treaty of Versailles, which alsomade provision for embodying in a fur-ther treaty provisions deemed necessaryto protect the interests of inhabitantswho differed from the majority of thepopulation in language or religion.
In accordance with this minoritiestreaty which was signed later, Poland'sminority population came under the pro-tection of the League.
The "Daily Telegraph" says theEastern Locarno Pact scheme is vir-tually dead. Poland has definitelydecided that she cannot participate, andEstonia, Latvia and Lithuania haveentered into a military alliance, so it isnot likely that they will join.
Poland believes 110 war need be fearedin Eastern Europe for at least a decade.As Poland has settled her differenceswith Kussia and Germany she hasnothing to fear.
QUICKEST WAY BEST.Britain's Attitude to Soviet

MR. DE VALERA'S VIEWS.
(British Official Wireless.)(Received 2.30 p.m.)
RUGBY, September 13.Speaking in the Assembly on the ques-
tion of Russia's entry iuto the League,Mr. de Valera said that the country herepresented was far from the ideas ofSoviet Russia, but would support theentry on account of its importance. Theday had gone by when an enlightenedGovernment could continue persecutionor denial of religious freedom. •
Newspapers commenting on tlie speechpoint out that owing to the wording oftho Covenant a unanimous and notmerely a two-thirds majority of theAssembly would be required if the pro-cedure advocated by Sir. du Valera wereadopted.
The attitude of the United Kingdomdelegation at Geneva, summed up in asentence, is that the quickest way isthe best and that, as the present pro-cedure seemed best calculated to hastenthe introduction of Russia to the League,criticism at this stage was to be depre-cated.

cheon at the Savoy Hotel to MajorGeorge Miller, who is in charge of theGrenadier Guards band, which is en route
I to Australia and New Zealand by theOtranto. Other guests at the luncheonemphasised that the band was thefinest combination of military music in]the world.
Mr. Tait said he expected that theperformance of the band would eclipsethat of the Besses o' the Barn band,which filled the Dunedin Botanical Gar-dens with 20,000 people.
The Agent-General for West Aus-tralia, Sir Hal Colebatch, said suchvisits were likely to do more to promoteImperial sentiments than Premiers'Conferences, Statutes of Westminsterand Ottawa agreements.
The High Commissioner for New Zea-land, Sir James Parr, recalled the band'srecent triumphs in Paris, and predictedthat New Zealand's welcome woukldel ipse the French reception.
All those present signed a replica ofthe Grenadier Guards' drum.
Major Miller expressed anticipationof a delightful tour, which, lie said, hehoped would cultivate Imperial amity.
"HOPELESS."DOUGLAS CREDIT.
CAUSTIC CRITICISM.
"ECONOMICS THROUGH THEWISHING GLASS."
THE MAJOR'S EVIDENCE.
(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)
WELLINGTON, this day.The committee in their discussion
have avoided mentioning names ofthose who put forward schemes, buthave placed them in general groups, butin regard to the two different schemesput forward by Major Douglas and bythe Douglas Credit Movement respec-tively, the plans are given rigorous andextended analysis.
"The committee feel that for itsintrinsic value the scheme put forwardby Major Douglas, need not have beenspecifically mentioned; although it issomewhat involved in its presentation—
in fact, unnecessarily so—it is not con-structive, nor are its general defects soelusive as to warrant any detailedanalysis. However, in consideration ofthose in the Douglas Social Credit Move-ment who attach importance to theschemes of Major Douglas, the commit-tee consider tliat it should be madeknown exact'y what the scheme forNew Zealand involves."
Although the committee specificallystated that they would not excludecriticism of the present monetary sys-tem, Major Douglas preferred not toput forward the Douglas analysis, butsent in a scheme which he said could beapplied to the present system. Hiddenbank reserves were to be taken to payoff overdrafts, and dividends over 6 percent taken in reduction of interest onoverdrafts. Similarly insurance com-pany earnings over C per cent were tobe given to all adult New Zealanderswho possessed "debenture stocks" basedon the hidden reserves of insurance com-panies.
"Financial Sabotage."Extracts from the committee's con-clusions are:—
The dissipation of reserves by wayof gift to borrowers is merely a shortand sharp method of wrecking thebanking system. This financial sabot-age would operate by rendering thebanks insolvent when the value of theirassets was impaired by the slightestfall m prices."
While it is mere fantasy to regardthe scheme as a suggestion of a perma-nent nature, we are also of the opinionthat it is hopeless even as a stop-gap.It would not affect prices in the primaryproducing industries, and would not addto anyone's spending power."The proposal to distribute preference
shares broadcast to all New Zealandersof voting age would be fantasticallyineffective as a method of distributingthe country's wealth."
"Whether one believes in private pro-perty rights or not, the taking of theproperty of insurance policy holders ismere caprice. The insurance proposalhas absolutely no correlation with socialjustice."
"The only logical conclusion from theproposals and evidence of Major Douglasis that—quite apart from their arbi-trariness, . their injustice and irration-ality—they would bring a net decreaseof purchasing power, and would add tothe burden of unemployment andreduced incomes."
The committee state in various placesthat the scheme and evidence of MajorDouglas were capricious, indefinite, cir-cumlocutory and even self-contradictory,his replies to questions being oftenevasive and irrelevant.
Douglas Movement's Proposals.The proposals of the Douglas SocialCredit Movement also come in for dis-
cussion. "Although the social credit planput forward belongs to the group ofschemes which the committee considerto be inherently unworkable, we have
separately, both because it ispart of the widely advertised genus of'social credit' proposals, and also becausethe Douglas Social Credit Movement wasgiven a special invitation to submit analternative monetary scheme for NewZealand."
_
The scheme included, on the assump-tion of a chronic deficiency of money incirculation, the application of a priceregulating factor to reduce prices one-third. Farmers and the unemployedwere to be guaranteed standard pay-ments. The committee state that the"assumptions put forward are all ofdubious validity."
The Douglas Credit representativestated that "deficiency of purchasingpower will be the determining factor incalculating what are A and B payments."The report says: "A reference to theminutes of evidence will show that theDouglas Credit representative made yetanother interpretation of the A plus Btheorem and brought it still nearer tothose propositions which must be ac-cepted on faith and not by scientificdemonstration."
"A New Theory of Value."The Douglas representative produced
a new theory of value, saying that thevaluation of a ton of butter would bedetermined by "the amount of physicalsupport it will give a man with afamily." The committee state that "itis impossible to equate money and goods,for there is 110 common scale 011 whichto equate them."
The Douglas representative stated thata statistical estimate could be obtainedto disclose the alleged deficiency of pur-chasing power. The report shows thatwhen, by correspondence, the committeeasked for the factors wliieh would haveto be measured to calculate the justprice factor, 110 reply was received fromthe Douglas Credit Movement.
The Douglas Credit proposals are"technically and administratively impos-sible to achieve with the present eco-nomic system.'" The application of theprice factor is also so extremely cum-bersome as to be almost impossible quiteapart from the financial chaos whichwould ensue. It is a purely arbitraryprocedure savouring of wish fulfilmentrather than clear thinking. It wouldentail rigid control of economic life com-parable with that of Soviet Russia.
The whole scheme is merely "econo-mics through the wishing-glass."
The application of the price factorwould bring progressive inflation be-cause of uncancelled credits; "tlio ex-pressed intentions of the propounders ofthe plan as to avoiding inflation wouldbe merely idle words."
"Retrograde in Every "Way.""The proposals are retrograde in every-
way. They put forward an incorrectdiagnosis of the economic and financialsituation, envisage a purely monetarysolution of our economic problems, do,not offer proof of any chronic tendencyto deficiency or purchasing power, haveno logical connection with any of theknown versions of the A plus B theorem,omit important problems of valuation,give impractical definitions of the fac-tors to be calculated, would give addi-.tional stimulus to a boom and, in general,would be highly inflationary Lecause ofthe cumulative effects of the issue ofnon-repayable 'free credits' as subsidiesto retailers and as payments to expor-ters and unemployed workers. The re-sults, if the proposals were applied forany length of time, would thus be todepress living standards and ruin thesaving class. To prevent inflation theycould be administered, if at all, onlywith rigorous control of our economiclife—an undefined type of control bothin its method and in its purpose.
"The analysis of banking and creditand of price-levels and the influenceaffecting them is to be found iii othersections of this report. It should, there-fore, be sufficiently clear that the Doug-las Social Credit proposals for thereform in our monetary system are ill-conceived; they are perhaps idealisticin intention, but certainly detrimentaland retrogressive if ever the applicationof them were attempted. The expressedand implied assumptions cannot bearlogical analysis, nor, even allowing forthe falsity of the assumption, is thereany attempt made to derive logical con-clusions. This is perhaps to be expectedwhere the action of mass psychology isused as an instrument, instead of a lesspicturesque, but more exacting mentaldiscipline.
'Superficial Attractiveness.'"There are many intelligent and well-
intentioned people who, instead of seek-ing for a solution of the problem pre-sented by haphazard production, havebeen misled by the superficial attrac-tiveness of schemes for quickly curingthe world's ills. When one of the lead"ing advocates (C. H. Douglas) of apurely monetary remedy states thatalmost the only thing which is notopen to destructive criticism about thebanks is their dividends,' he illustrates
how the minds of a considerable sectionof the public are being diverted fromthe more basic problems of the day bvplacing all the emphasis 011 monetaryreform; they are focusing attention 011symptoms rather than on monetarycauses." J
OVERDRAFT RATE.REDUCTION URGED.
MONETARY COMMITTEE VIEW.MAXIMUM OF FIVE PER CENT.
(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)WELLINGTON, this day.
Lower deposit rates would stirdepositors to seek a greater return in amore active use of their funds andwould permit a farther reduction inoverdraft rates," states tljp MonetaryCommittee s report when dealing withbanking and th<> establishment, of theReserve Bank. 'The combined effectwould greatly stimulate business andgenerally do much to assist in overcom-ing the present stagnation. Hie resultcould not fail to be of great benefit tothe Dominion in present circumstances.
."In this connection, it should be notedtnat a reduction in overdraft rateswould not only induce fresh borrowingfor productive purposes, but appreci-ably lighten the present interest loadon industry. For instance, on £50,000,000of advances a reduction of the rate' by1 per cent would mean a saving incosts of £500,000 per annum, and theaggregate saving wonld be much greaterthan this, for the lending rates of stockand station agents and other institu-tions would be reduced concurrently.With idle funds accumulating in theDominion, long-term lending rates, asevidenced bv the, market return on Gov-ernment and local body securities, havedeclined sharply in recent months. Thereturn on Government securities is nowless than 3| per cent. Owing prob-ably to the fact that there is no organ-ised short-term loan market in New-Zealand, short-term rates have notfallen in anything like the same ratio;but the transfer of a large amount fromLondon by the Government will giveconsiderable impetus to the movement.
"In any case, we consider a furthersubstantial reduction in bank overdraftrates is essential. The committee con-siders that in present circumstances theoverdraft rate for first-class accountsshould be reduced to 3} per cent, witha maximum of 5 per cent for otheraccounts."
Referring to open-market operations,the committee considered that the Re-serve Bank should be empowered topurchase long-term Government securi-ties iip to, say, three times the amountof its paid-up capital and reserves. Thatwould allow up to £3,000,000 for openmarket operations. It recom mendedthat the Act be amended accordingly.

CAT BURGLAR.CLEVER CITY " JOB."
EXPERT SAFEBLOWER'S WORK
DARING RAID ON WAREHOUSE
A master criminal—cat-burglar andaafeblower—is operating in Auckland.
This fact has been known to thepolice for some time, and was furtheremphasised by a daring and clever bur-glary which was carried out in the earlyhours of this morning on the premisesof Hughes and Cossar, Ltd., wine andspirit merchants, importers and generalmerchants, 30-34, Swanson Street.
In the warehouse of this firm wascommitted one of the cleanest and mostaudacious "jobs" done by a burglar inAuckland for some years. The circum-stances of the crime show that it wasplanned and executed by an expert safe-blower.
The man responsible—he is believed tobe a lone-hander—had first to climb adowiyripe leading from an alleyway fromChapel Square to get on to the roof ofthe premises adjoining those which werethe object of his raid. Once on theroof, he walked across the slantingcorru-gated iron untilhe found a skylight. Thishe prised open and slid down in thedark, his feet finding the top shelf inthe sample, or entertaining room of thefi 'm, which, is stocked with a varietyof liquors ranging from well-knownbrands of ale to the more expensiveliqueurs and wines.
The door leading from the entertain-ment room to the office of the ware-house was securely locked. Using ajemmy, the burglar wrenched off the iockand entered the largo office. At the farend were two large safes, containingnothing more than documents and booksused by the firm. In the locks of eachox these large safes were the keys. Open-ing the doors, the intruder pulled outevery drawer, hoping to find money orvaluables. None was found, however,but the burglar, nevertheless, scatteredthe contents of the drawers over theoffice floor. A cash box: bore evidencethat it had been opened with a jemmyor other instrument.
Expert Operation.The large strong-room was the next
objective of the daring safe-blower. Aetrong padlock which secured the doorwas smashed off and he entered to finda safe about 3ft by 2ft Gin in a cornerof the strong-room. A charge of gelig-nite was plugged into the keyhole andpacked tightly with putty. A match tolight the fuse leading to the detonatorand the rest was easy. An explosionfollowed, the burglar no doubt beingsafely distant in another part of theoffice meanwhile. So cleanly was theeafe blown that, although the insulationwas completely blown off the interior ofthe safe door, if the door was closedno sign of a safe-blowing crime couldbo noticed, unless one looked for thebrass fittings which usually adorn thekeyhole.
The sawdust and asbestos packing ofthe safe door was blown in all direc-tions in the strong-room. The burglarobtained £11. made up of notes and cash,from the safe. He left behind a post-dated cheque!
Police Investigation.After the crime had been reported to
the police, JSenior Detective S. G. Hall,Detective John Hunt, and Mr. C. M.Francis (finger-print expert attached topolice headquarters), went to the officeof Hughes and Cossar and made an in-vestigation.
"The burglar showed that he was atrifle thirsty, as he sampled a quartbottle of our ale," said Mr. Cyril Hughesto a reporter this morning. "This bottleI fomd on the floor in front of a setteein the sample, or entertainment room.The burglar preferred his own instru-ment to open the bottle, although there•were any amount of bottle openersalongside the ale. Using his own pair ofpliers, which lie incidentally left on topof one of the safes, he took the cap offthe bottle of beer, then, after drinkinghalf of the contents of the bottle, placedthe damaged cap on the bottle.
"After prising the lock off the doorleading to the office, he thoroughly ran-sacked every drawer in all the desks inhis search for money. He made athorough job of his raid, but I must sayhe did not do any damage to our liquorstocks," added Mr. Hughes. "Onceinside, and having blown the safe afterentering the strongroom, his main diffi-culty was in making his exit from ourwarehouse. Going to the main doorsdownstairs, he found that the burglarlock was true to label. He cftuld notopen the doors, although marks showedthat he must have used a jemmy on it.So he went upstairs again, and thenmade his way down a ladder to the dis-patch department.
Broke His Way Out."Although the keys, tied to a large
piece of wood, were right alongside thepadlock which secured the hasp on thelarge double, doors, the thief chose tobreak the padlock with his jemmy andmake his escape. He was calm enoughto close the double doors behind him."
Mr. Hughes added that twice previ-ously his firm's warehouse had beenentered by burglars. In 1928 burglarsentered through the roof and stole twodozen bottles of expensive liquers,while about 18 months ago another raidwas made on the same premises, asmall haul .being obtained.
"I am informed by the police thatthey regard the burglar who was inour premises last night to be an expert,especially at safe-blowing," said Mr.Hughes. "So cool was he that lie didnot leave himself open to quick detec-tion by handling the bottle of ale andthe glass from which he drank, with hisbare fingers. Although the policesprinkled the customary white powderon the bottle and the glass, not a signof a fingerprint was to be found."
Inquiry at the Star Hotel, immedi-ately opposite the warehouse of Hughesand Cossar, revealed that one of themembers of the staff, whose bedroomoverlooks the warehouse, heard an ex-plosion about 2 o'clock this morning."I thought it was a backfire from amotor car," said the young woman thismorning. "Now I come to recollect, Idistinctly remember hearing a motorcar leave the street outside my windowsopie five minutes or so later."
Strange to sav, the burglar, althoughlie searched the office thoroughly formoney, missed a sum which was noteven under lock and key.

NEW HOUSES.
FORWARD MOVE.
RELIEF FUND SURPLUS.
TAX REDUCTION JUSTIFIED.
(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)
WELLINGTON, this day.The part the Government's plans for
the replacement of old houses and itsadditional Public Works expenditure,including provision for the rebuilding ofadministrative blocks, will play in thereabsorption of the workless was citedby the Minister of Finance, Mr. Coates,in the House of Representatives yester-day, as a partial answer to critics whoclaimed that the twopence reduction inthe wages tax had iano-ed the require-ments of the unemployed. In furtherjustification <f the reduction, Mr. Coatespointed to the substantial windfall theUnemployment Board received throughthe unexpected decrease sn the numberof unemployed for whom provision hadto be made during the year.
"The unemployment tax bears moreheavily upon the community than anyother tax," declared the Minister. "Weknew that when it was imposed, and wesaid so. It bears particularly heavily,for example, on a man who earns £4 aweek, Mid who misses those four shil-lings which slip each week from underhis eyes. It has been suggested that byreducing the tax by twopence in theshilling the unemployed will suffer. Inmy judgment that is not correct. Dur-ing the half-year over which the reduc-tion will operate the amount involvedby that- reduction will be £500,000. Itis estimated that the revenue for nextyear on the shilling basis will be*£7,500,000. There is a surplus fromlast year of £1,000,000.
Labour Members: Shame!The Minister: No. If commitments
are made, it is wise for the board defi-nitely to preserve itself against gettinginto the position of a further and unex-pected charge having to fall upon thetaxpayer.
A Million Surplus.Mr. F. Langstone (Labour, Waima-
rino): Current income meets all of that.The Minister: That is not correct.
That was not the position. Commit-ments were estimated at £600,000, andfor a greater number of unemployed.The peak o"f 75,000 was not reached, asanticipated; the number went down to60,000. Thus an unexpected gain to theboard was made.
Mr. Coatee added that the PublicWorks vote had this year been increasedby £1,000,000 for the purpose of enab-ling a larger number of men to begiven work at standard rates of pay.And on top of that the Government hadits proposal for the erection of build-ings. Plans and specifications were nowbeing prepared, and the GovernmentLife Insurance building, he understood,was one of the undertakings that wouldbe put in hand before long. He be-lieved tenders had been called for thework.
"And the Cliristchurch railway sta-tion?" interposed Mr. H. T. Armstrong(Labour, Cliristchurch East).
"You know my opinion about theCliristchurch railway station withoutmy saying anything further," repliedthe Minister. "Public buildings are re-quired urgently in Auckland, and assoon as the plans can be prepared weshall go ahead with them."
Housing Plans.Dealing with the hopes the Govern-
ment set by its projected housingscheme, Mr. Coates said Cabinet wasanxious to see the proposals broughtto early fruition, but in the meantimeresponsibilities rested with local authori-ties to bring forward their proposals.
Mr. W. E. Parry (Labour, AucklandCentral): They have no money.
The Minister: I agree with that, butI would ask: Have not the local bodiesthe same powers as the Government togo on ..the money market. I don't knowof a time at which they could borrowat a cheaper rate than to-day. I amnot advocating any wild borrowingschemes. Far from that.
Mr. W. A. Veitch (Independent,Wanganui): The Local GovernmentLoans Board prevents them from bor-rowing.
The Minister: If any local body canput up a scheme in-which the Govern-ment can assist, the Loans Board willmeet all its requirements. The questionhas been discussed with the LoansBoard, and the difficulty is that localbodies are not far enough advanced withtheir schemes. The Auckland CityCouncil is a case in point.
"Rabbit-warrens."Mr. Coates said the general policy
was the replacement of what lie wouldterm "rabbit-warrens"—houses that hadserved all useful purposes.
Mr. Parry: There are hundreds inAuckland.
The Minister: We should not allowthe first blush to frighten us. Let'sget down to it—the local bodies, theGovernment, and the UnemploymentBoard—and see what we can do byreplacing some of these old places, nowthat the money is available at a reason-able rate. We want to see our peopleliving under proper conditions.
Mr. R. Semple (Labour, WellingtonEast): There is no more urgent work.
The Minister: The Government feelsthat, too. We hope the local bodiesand the Government will be able to gettogether and make a move in thatdirection.
In his final references to the inter-related subjects of housing, unemploy-ment relief and the wages tax, Mr.Coates claimed that the reduction oftwopence in the tax was justified. Hewould like to see it lowered further assoon as conditions improved sufficiently.

NEWS OF CRASH.
PARTIES OUT SEARCHING.
DENSE BUSH EXAMINED.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
NEW PLYMOUTH, this day.The first news came to the New Ply-
mouth aerodrome at 3 o'clock yesterdayafternoon, when a opossum trapper, Mr.George Burrows, telephoned from theKaimiro dairy factory that he and hisfather had seen a 'plane flying low overthe ranges, and that they had hearda sound that indicated that it hadcrashed in the bush.
Mr. Burrows, senior, immediatelymade efforts to trace the sound he hadheard in the dense bush, while his sonmade desperate efforts to reach theKaimiro factory, the nearest point wherethere was a telephone.
Immediately word was received inNew Plymouth, a motor car in chargeof Mr. Lan Keith, the club's flyinginstructor, complete with medical sup-plies, was sent post-haste to the fac-tor}', while a party set out from theBurrows' camp. Mr. Burrows, sen.,continued the search until dusk, when,011 his advice, efforts were discontinueduntil this morning.
Extensive Search.An extensive search for the missing
'plane in mountain and bush began atdaylight this morning, when 80 fully-.eqnipped Alpine Club members and bush-men and two 'planes commenced anextensive search in the area where the'plane is believqd to have crashed.
The locality is known to contain someof the densest bush oil the slopes ofMount Egmont, and the task of thesearchers will be arduous.
Sixty searchers gathered at NewPlymouth at 3 o'clock this morningfully equipped with food and medicalsupplies. They included two doctors,and were taken by cars to the edge ofthe bush. As dawn broke they begana strenuous tramp towards the campof the trappers, who heard the 'planecrash. Meanwhile the party had beenjoined by settlers and bushmen, whoacted as guides. The camp was reachedat 6 o'clock, and after a base had beenestablished an intensive search of thebush was commenced.
It was decided not to split into smallparties, but to patrol closelv the areabelieved to contain the 'plane. Mean-while 'planes piloted by Flying-OfficerKeith and Captain Gibbons reached thereserve by dawn and began an air search.
At first the visibility was good, butafter an hour clouds settled down andlow flying was necessary. Some daringflying was seen as the 'planes flew lowinvestigating every gully and gorge.They made west tc east flights over alarge area, thoroughly examining thebush.
Signals Arranged.A system of signals by shots ard
smoke bombs was arranged between thesearchers in the bush, and headquartersat Kaiiniro, the nearest settlement out-side the bush. Planes and ambulancewere also ready for any emergency.The first two hours' search was resulr-less, and the parties settled down to anarduous task. Unless the *vrecKedplane is observed from the air it isexpected the search will prove very longand difficult.
Mr. Green has had flying experiencein England, was the holder of a Bcommercial license, and was a memberof the New Zealand Territorial AirForce.
Mr. Austin's parents live at MangorciRoad, New Plymouth. He had madenumerous previous aerial trips over themountain in search of photographic sub-jects. Yesterday he decided to fly withMr. Green to secure inore photographs.
The machine, ZK-AB& was testedbefore they took oil" at 11.40 a.m., andwas in perfect order. They had sufficientfuel for three and a ha'f hours' flight.
Aviator's Report.Returning to the New Plymouth aero-
drome, Mr. Lan Keith reported thatalthough he had seen no signs of themissing 'plane he had observed a partywaving to the 'plane two miles and ahalf distant in the bush in the directionof Alfred Road. He is making a furtherflight to investigate the area. Messengershave left the main party to link up withthe Alfred Road party.
The only eye-witnesses of the crash,the trappers, Messrs. O. Burrows andson, state that the 'plane fell with aterrific crash. A few seconds afterwardsthey heard the engine cut out. They sawthe 'plane first at an estimated heightof between 4000ft and 5000ft. Itappeared to be gliding back in the direc-tion of New Plymouth. It lost heightrapidly and afterwards passed out ofvision. They heard the engine splutterand stop. This was followed by thesound of a crash.
PREVIOUS FATALITY.
Only one fatal aeroplane accident hasoccurred in New Zeal."nd this year. Thatcost the life of Mr. E. R. Boucher, pre-sident of the Auckland Aero Club, whowas a passenger in one of the club'sMoth aeroplanes when it struck theeastern slopes of Mount Hawkins, Wel-lington, last March. The 'plane waslost in clouds over Cook Strait, andstruck oil the slopes of a steep gully.
Mr. Poucher died from injuries, whileMr. L. W. Swan,, secretary of the chiii.who was piloting the machine, wasinjured.
MILK POOL.
AUCKLAND PLAN.
LETTER TO VENDORS.
INTEREST OF COUNCIL.
A circular letter to be sent to milkvendors in connection with the pro-posal to form a pool was approved atthis morning's meeting of the AucklandMetropolitan Milk Council.
The letter reads as follows: "OnAugust '31 the council sent you notice tothe eil'ect that 'Unless there k a poolregistered with the council, with properbooks open to the council's inspection,milk vendors and producer vendors whoalso buy outside are required to paythe full price fixed by the council tobe paid to the producer for all milkpurchased by them.' To ensure wintersupplies the council suggests that youshould form your pool basing the pay-outs for full-price milk to your sup-pliers on their average June-July pro-duction over the last three years. Thisprice would be paid on the June-Julyquantity throughout the year and anybalance over or under supplied wouldbe pooled on a co-operative basis. Be-fore registering the pool the councilwould require to know the uponwhich you proposed to operate sameand to have a record of the names ofthe suppliers to the pool and the con-tract quantities arranged with eachperson. We would like you to biingabout tile formation of this pool at theearliest possible moment, and anyassistance the council can supply willbe gladly given."
Three Kinds of Pool.Reporting on the suggestions for a
pool, the secretary, Mr. N. K. Chan-man, explained that a producers' poolmight be of three kinds, namely: (1)
Ail agreement between a group of dairy-men to deep one set of books and tosell their milk production to theirmutual benefit, selling only to regis-tered milk vendors. (2) An agreementbetween a group of dairymen and amilk-vending company which agrees toaccept the whole of the various dairy-men's milk production and to sell thesame to the best advantage. Thevending company would keep the booksof this pool and pay each individualdairyman after deducting a smallallowance for clerical work. (3) Anagreement between one or more dairy-men to supply one milk vendor or pro-ducer vendor with the whole of theirmilk production. This would operateas in case two, and a producer vendorwould be required to pool his own pro-duction along with purchased milk ifbought from dairymen.
The last described pool, paid (hesecretary, was the one the council hadin mind when the matter had beenraised. The basis of payment of a truejkiol would be along co-operative lines,and at the end of any period whenpurchases and sales were totalled per-centages under anv headings of Palescould be calculated. liaeh member ofthe pool would receive the same per-centage .payment under the varioussales headings, and to encourage winterproduction by dairymen it might beadvisable (o divide the year into threeperiods and to set a dairyman's cost ofproduction price for each. Providingthe winter period pricc was made suffi-ciently remunerative, that cliould bean incentive to producers to producewinter milk. That, however, might notbe feasible.
"Whatever form of pool the councildecided upon, they can only put it for-ward as a recommendation to vendors,etc., and it is suggested that an outlineof the pool with the form of bookrequired should be sent to interestedparties from which they could rendertheir monthly returns. If a standardform of pool book is stipulated by thecouncil, a proper check could be kept,"ilr. Chapman's report concluded.

THE FUTURE.
NATIONAL FINANCES.
STRICT ECONOMY NEEDED.WAGES AND PENSIONS.
(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)
WELLINGTON, this day.A narrow surplus and some financial
uncertainties during the current yearwere the main reasons advanced in jus-tification by the Minister of Finance,Mr. C'oates, in replying to Financial de-bate criticism in the House of Repre-sentatives yesterday afternoon, when hedealt with the demand that old age pen-sions restoration should not have beenpostponed. The Minister coupled withthis subject the position of outside em-ployers in relation to wage restoration.
Mr. Coates questioned the declarationsof Opposition speakers that the Ministerof Lands had predicted a surplus of£1,000,000 at the end of the financialyear. He preferred to go by the Min-ister's "Hansard," which showed thatMr. Ransom had only expressed himselfon the possibility.
Position of Pensioners."It is true," he continued, "that wind-
falls come fioin one quarter or the other,and one occurred the other day since theBudget was made up." This led him tothe criticism that the Government shouldhave given old age pensioners the benefitof the restoration from April 1. Thishad been asked for on all sides, but whatwas the Minister of Finance to do? Hewas responsible, and had to make hisrecommendations to Cabinet, and toestimate for a surplus and finish with adeficit would not be right. The publicalso expected a Minister to be carefulin his estimates. There had been in-stances where estimates had gone topieces.
"While we all desire to recognise thoseold people's position," added the Min-ister, "I ask you to take a certainamount of comfort that the Governmentrecognises that their work has reachedthe stage when wo wish and expect themto have easier days in the evening oftheir lives."
The Minister asked members not tooverlook the reduction in the cost ofliving since 1014. The 1929 index figurewas 160 and the 1934 figure 129, or 31points below. The pension system in1929 was on a basis of 17/6, and the
reduction was 17J per cent, but thereduction in the cost of living had20 per cent in the same period.
Wage Restrictions.Answering suggestions that the Gov-
ernment should facilitate restorations inoutside wages in line with those in thepublic service, Mr. Coates replied thatsuch a declaration from the Governmentwould be definitely unfair, for the reasonthat private enterprise had not in manyinstances called on its workers to sufferanything like the reductions imposed onStale employees.
Mr. K. Semple (Labour, WellingtonEast): Yes, in some cases 60 per cent.
The Minister: Industry can onlyitself determine what it can afford topay.
Mr. P. Fraser (Labour, WellingtonCentral): Why do you not take up thesame attitude as when the general orderwas inado by the Court, and give thesamo power now 1
Mr. Contes declared that he would notshirk any responsibility for what hadbeen done. If national income fellbelow capacity to pay overhead andrunning costs, there was only one wayto adopt, and adjustments had to takeplace. Civil servants had to acceptreductions without qualifications, whereasoutside the service it did not apply inthe saiue way, and he. could quote in-stances where there had been no reduc-tions at all.
DEATH OF GIRL.
FELL INTO HOT POOL
FATALITY AT ROTORUA.
(By Telegraph.—Special to "Star '')
ROTORUA, this day.As a result of a fall into a hot pool
at the Kuirau Reserve yesterday even-ing, Miss Nona Pettit, 20 years ofage, died at the Rotorua Hospital thismorning. The girl, apparently accom-panied by a friend, went to the reserveshortly after 9 o'clock last niglit forthe purpose of bathing in one of thewarm pools.
After the two had been in the waterfor about a quarter of an hour MissPettit announced that she would getdressed, and proceeded across a narrowpath between two smaller pools, to reachher clothes. Her companion heard asplash and a scream, and 011 reachingthe sido of a small pool found MiissPettit coming to the surface. She saidshe was not hurt, but asked to betaken home. A doctor was called, and hesent her to hospital, where she died.
An inquest was opened for the pur-poses of identification and adjourned sinedie.
The pool into which the girl fell isconsiderably hotter than others adjoin-ing, and immediate instructions weregiven to have it-fenced. Miss Pettit wasa well-known basketball player, andpopular among young people in Rotorua.

SILVER PROFITS.
COINAGE PROBLEMS.
GOVERNMENT'S DIFFICULTIES
MR. COATES ANSWERS CRITIC.
(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)
WELLINGTON, this day.The statement made by Mr. C. A.
Wilkinson (Independent, Eg/.iont) thatthe Government, in arranging for theminting of New Zealand's silver coinage,had thrown away at least £1,000,000, wasdescribed as absurd by the Minister ofFinance, Mr. Coates, when speaking inthe House of Representatives yesterday."I am sure that Mr. Wilkinson, or anyother member, does not seriously suggestthat this Government, or any other Gov-ernment, would deliberately forgo£1,000,000 if it could be legitimately ob-tained," said the Minister.
Mr. Coate3 said Mr. Wilkinson . hadseized upon the comments of the Con-troller and Auditor-General, but thestatements made by that officer weremerely to the effect that if arrangementscould have been made to repatriate theold coin at its face value, the profitswould have been in the neighbourhood of£700,000 for each £1,000,000 of new coin.The comment, 1 owever, was an idle one,because such an arrangement could notbe made and the Audit Department wasaware of this fact.
The question of a separate silver coin-age was first considered in 1931, con-tinued the Minister, when the High Com-missioner was requested to obtain infor-mation from the Royal Mint, it beingpointed out to him that "the wholematter, if it is to be seriously considered,largely depends on the terms and theperiod over which the Mint would bewilling to redeem the Imperial coinageat present on issue in the Dominion."On this point, a cable received in Sep-tember, 1931, stated: "The ImperialTreasury regrets that under the exist-ing financial position, such concessionis impracticable at present becausesources from which profit was derivedto finance African and Irish arrange-ments have now dried up. Special ad-ditional Parliamentary vote which wouldbe necessary before the matter could beentertained was impossible to-day. Con-cession to South Africa extended overa long period of years, and Ireland£00,000 per annum. If concession weremade to New Zealand as a favour, lateron redemption would require to bespread over a period of twenty years.""
Vote of £1,500,000.The circumstances surrounding the
previous redemptions in respect to Aus-tralia, Irish Free State and SouthAfrica were fully explained, said theMinister, these being effected out ofcoinage profits no longer available. Noaction was taken by New Zealand atthat time, but at the beginning of 1933,when great difficulty was being experi-enced in keeping silver coinage in theDominion, the Government came to theconclusion that the only effectiveremedy was the establishment of dis-tinctive silver coinage. The inquiriesto the British Mint included one ne> towhether in the present circumstances theMint could make any offer in regard tothe redemption of British silver. Thereply was that no application could bemade for redemption, as it would in-volve the Imperial Treasury in a totalexpenditure offrapproximately £1,!500.000,and although this had been granted toAustralia, it had been refused toRhodesia.
The Minister added that the RoyalMint did, however, offer to undertakethe recoinnge of all Imperial and Aus-tralian silver circulating in the Do-minion without charge except the costof dies and artists' fees, and to allowNew Zealand the profit arising out ofthe sale of surplus bullion due to thefact that the silver content of a por-tion of the old coin was higher thanthat of the new.
The coinage committee recommendedthat the British Mint's offer be ac-cepted, and this resolution was movedby a representative of the Chambers ofCommerce and seconded by the AuditOffice representative. The net differencebetween the cost of reminting the sil-ver available in the Dominion by a NewZealand concern and the cost, includingfreight, of having it done at the RoyalMint, was £180,000, continued theMinister.
Australian Coin.Dealing with the question of sending
Australian coin back to the Common-wealth, the Minister said that afternegotiations, the Commonwealth Gov-ernment offered to accept repatriationof its silver coin at the rate of about£25,000 per annum. It was pointed outthat this was of little use to the Do-minion as it was essential to have acomplete change over as soon as pos-sible, and thereafter to take steps toprevent the circulation of Australiansilver coin within the Dominion. Aus-tralia was asked to take £230,000 at facevalue during one financial year, leavingNew Zealand to melt down the balanceof Australian silver coin circulating inthe Dominion. The Australian Govern-ment replied that it had 110 fund fromwhich a sudden and heavy withdrawalcould ho financed. Consequently, theproposal would necessitate a vote againstthe year's Budget and for that reasonit could not be considered.
The Minister said that he thought itwould be clear that there was 110 pos-sibility of obtaining the large profitthat admittedly could have been madeif it had been possible to arrange fortho redemption of Australian and Im-perial silver at face value. Althoughthese Governments had made profits inthe past out of the coin in circulationin New Zealand, these profits had beenspread over a long period of years, andwhen the question of redemption hadbeen raised, neither Government hadany fund out of which the coin circulat-ing in New Zealand could bo redeemed.The Hou"c could readily understand tliarefusal of these Governments to furtherburden their taxpayers to provide therequired amount of profit for New Zea-land.
"Any suggestion of forcing redemp-tion upon these Governments by allow-ing the silver to be sent back throughprivate channels for trade or exchangepurposes was, of .vurse, impossible,"added Mr. Crates. "No Government inany part of the Biitish Empire woulddo such a thing to another member ofthe British Commonwealth. I may addthat in financial matters, the BritishGovernment, in particular, has alwaystreated this Dominion generously. Thesuspension of payments on all debts dueto the Hriti'-h Government for war andother purposes is an indication of thisfact.- '
MILK TESTS.
COUNCIL COMMENT.
GOVERNMENT PRECAUTIONS.ENSURING CLEAN SUPPLY.
Precautions taken by the Departmentof Agriculture to see that only puremilk is consumed were discussed at thismorning's meeting of the AucklandMetropolitan Milk Council.
In his report on the inspection ofdairies for the month of August, Mr.W. T. Collins, district superintendentof the Department of Agriculture, saidthat 103 registered dairies had been
[inspected. Nine farmers had been! requested to clean up their sheds,several to carry out improvements todrains and buildings, and 19 to repairconcrete yards. Dealing with biologicaltests, he said that 24 samples of milkhad been sent to Wallaceville for testing.One sample sent for testing in July hadgiven a positive reaction. All the cowsin that particular herd had been imme-diately tested for tuberculosis and thereactors had been condemned anddestroyed. One hundred and ten cowshad been tested for tuberculosis in thevarious herds, with seven reactors. Onehundred and three sediment tests hadbeen taken, and seven had proveddirty. In each of the seven ca6es lettershad been sent asking for an improve-ment.
Very Little Expense."Tl'ic report shows the necessity for
taking the step which the council hascontemplated and to have someone tocarry out these tests," commented Mr.I. J. Goklstine. Ho understood that thetests could be carried out on the spotwith very little expense, and there wasevery justification for the council secur-ing someone to carry out the tests assoon as possible. Mr. Goldstine explainedthat he did not mean that every dropof milk should be tested, but that testscould be made regularly.
The chairman, Mr. G. W. Hutchison,said that the matter of tests wouldcome up at the next meeting.
Mr. 11. F. W. Meikle commented onthe fact that in the sediment testsseven samples had been proved dirty,lie asked what had happened to themilk in those instances.
Mr. A. C. Trousdale: I would likeMr. Meikle to go out on a farm inwinter. It would do him good.The Chairman: A can with evidenceof any dirt is put on one side.
Mr. J. Littlejohn said that the De-partment had been doing the testingwork for a long, period. Admittedlythere had been a slackening of the regu-lations at the time when producers werereceiving only "rubbishy" prices, but theregulations had now been tightened up.He thought the matter might well beleft in the hands of the Department. Hawould say definitely that the Depart-ment officers knew their business andthat they were doing it. The less thecouncil interfered with the Departmentthe better.
Department's Powers.Mr. Meikle explained that he had notintended to cast any aspersions on the
farmers or the Department. He onlywanted to find out whether sufficientprecautions were taken to see that dirtymilk was not received. He contendedthat the Department did not have thepower to order dirty milk back to thefarm.
Mr. Goldstine said lie did not thinkthere should be any undue concern overthe matter. The Agricultural Depart-ment was doing its job, but it was im-possible for its officers to take testsevery day.
Mr. H. P. Burton suggested that thecouncil might get in touch with theGovernment analyst 011 the matter.
The chairman said that the reportbefore the council indicated to him thatthe Department was carrying out itswork in a very excellent manner. Thequestion of undertaking additional testswould be discussed by the council nextweek. He hoped 110 impression wentout that the council was in any waydissatisfied with the work of the Depart-ment.
Mr. Trousdale: It is being looked afterwell there, and also on the receivingstands. °

SWIMMING DISPUTE.AUCKLAND APPEALS UPHELD.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, this day.The New Zealand University tourna-
ment committee at the last Easter tour-nament did not award New Zealand"blues" to two of the championshipevents m the swimming section. Theaward was withheld on the grounds thatthe two girls concerned were not eligiblefor "blues," in that they were not mem-bers of tlie Auckland University Swim-ming Club at tlie required time, as pro-vided by the rules.
The two girls appeared, and Mr. RoyTwyneham, Christcliurch, was appointedarbitrator.
Mr. Twyneham has upheld the appeals,stating that the girls concerned were mem-bers in the academic year of the tourna-ment, and therefore were entitled to"blues," which had now been forwardedby mail.
The arbitrator made a note on theaward that the evidence, and the admittedfacts, disclosed that in tlie past tourna-ment committees had been guilty of care-lessness in examining and checking thequalifications of candidates for "blues."It is recommended that in future greatercare be taken.
_ The girls, wlio are now to receive their"bines' for tlie events in question, areMisses Jean Thomson and Mary Gillies,of Auckland.

SPECIAL SALES TAX.AMENDMENT TO ACT.
GOODS LIABLE TO EXCISE,SALES AT "IN BOND" PRICES.(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)
WELLINGTON, this day.The imposition of a special sales tax
on goods liable to excise duty and soldat "in bond" prices is provided for underan amendment of the Customs ActAmendment Bill, introduced into theHouse of Representatives yesterday.
According to this provision, sales tasin addition to the ordinary impost pay.able, will have to be paid at the time ofentry for home consumption on anygoods manufactured in New Zealand ofa class liable to excise duty and also tosales tax, which are sold otherwise thanto a licensed wholesaler for resale byhim at a price that does not includeexcise duty. The additional sales taxwill be paid by the person entering thegoods, and sale value on which the taxis assessed is to be deemed to be theamount of excise duty paid.
Under another amendment special pro-visions are made for computation ofthe sales tax in respect to importedcigars, snuff, cut tobacco, other tobaccoand spirits. The sale value is to be thesum of the equivalent in New Zealandcurrency of the value of those good 3for Customs duty and the amount ofduty, together with 25 per cent of theformer amount. Power is given theMinister of Customs to include otheritems, by Gazette notice, or, by similarmeans, to exclude any of those men-tioned.
Minister's Explanation.Explaining the provisions to the
House, tile Minister of Customs, Mr,Coates, read the following memoran-dum : "The principle underlying thesales tax legislation is that the tax ispayable on the duty-paid selling priccsof goods. When, however, the goods,and especially high duty goodsr—forexample, spirits and tobacco—are soldin bond by wholesalers, the sales tax ispaid by them on the 'in bond' price. Thesales tax on duty is in effect paid in thecase of imported goods by the personclearing them from bond. No similarprovision, however, is made in the caseof goods liable to excise duty and soldat 'in bond' prices. In such cases, thereis no provision for payment of salestax on duty. This is provided for inthe new clause, and this stipulates thepayment of the tax on the excise dutyonly.
Spirits and Tobacco."It is found that when spirits andtobacco are sold at duty-paid prices no
profit is made on the duty. Under thelaw it is provided that in the case ofimported goods 25 per cent is to beadded to the duty, to determine the salevalue. That was, of course, intendedto include the profit on the duty. Inview of the above it is now proposedto abolish this addition so far asimported goods are concerned."

THE AUCKLAND STAR, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 193 4.FINAL EDITION.8
MONETARY REPORT.DEVALUATION OF POUND ADVISED
DOUGLAS CREDIT SCHEME REJECTED
BANKING POLICY CRITICALLY EXAMINED.
Prominent in the majority report of the Monetary Com-mittee, presented to Parliament to-day, are its conclusions that:—
(1) The New "Zealand pound should he devalued at the1 25 rate, but a swing of five points on either side should
be permitted.(2) Bank overdraft rates should be reduced to per cent
for first-class accounts, and a maximum of 5 per centfor other accounts.
(3) New Zealand's gold reserves should be exported toLondon.
The majority report contains a caustic criticism of the Douglascredit scheme, which is completely rejected. It also severelycriticises the Associated Banks, particularly the Bank of NewZealand.
The Labour members of the committee dissent from themain report, and a third report is submitted by the Hon. W. D.Stewart, who also dissents from the majority report, but fordifferent reasons.
STATE SUPREME.
MONETARY MATTERS.
PRESENT SYSTEM EXPLAINED
HIGH EXCHANGE" DEFENDED.
(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)
WELLINGTON, this day.The report of the Monetary Com-
mittee reviews the main aspects of themonetary and banking situation,of theDominion, including the institution ofthe Reserve Bank; it traces the effectsof tho many schemes put forward, andin particular deals with the proposalsadvanced by Major Douglas and hisadherents; in a special section it dis-cusses the exchange rate adjustment andits future.
The report affirms the paramountauthority of the State in monetarymatters, ancl emphasises that theserving of the national interests, ratherthan the quest for profits, should be themotive of the banking system. It con-demns the exorbitant rates of interestcharged by the banks on Treasury bills.These rates were £5 8/9 per cent, andmore recently 5 per cent, when otherDominion Governments were paying farloss, e.g., India 1 per cent, South Africa]£ to 2J per cent, and Australia 2i percent. The establishment of the ReserveBank of New Zealand is therefore wel-comed. As the State appoints two-thirds of the directorate of the Bank ofXew Zealand, the State should use itspower of appointment to see that profit-making is subordinated to the end ofpublic welfare.
Stock and station ageuts engaged indeposit and exchange banking shouldbo controlled by the Reserve Bank; theposition of other institutions takingdeposits should also be considered.Stock and station agents are bankinginstitutions, and have in the past materi-ally affected land booms by their com-petitive activities.
Overdraft Rates.The overdraft rate for first-class
accounts should be reduced to 3} percent, with a maximum of 5 per cent forother accounts. This is necessary inpresent circumstances to assist therevival of industry and further to reduceoverhead charges.
The bank charge for keeping accountsshould be reduced from £1 to 10/, andthe internal exchange on cheques shouldbe reduced, the total reduction beingequal to the relief of note tax andincome tax owing to the setting up ofthe Reserve Bank. It may be notedthat consequent on the last increase innote tax, the banks doubled their bankcharge.
The report rccommends that the sys-tem of bank taxation remain unchanged,
Government Mortgage Board.The gold standard is rejected as a
basis for the monetary system, especi-ally aa New Zealand has evolved awayfrom it. Hence gold reserves should beexported and converted into interest-earning assets.
To ensure a unified and consistentlending policy and to bring the monetarysystem further under centralised controland to eliminate overlapping, Govern-ment Lending Departments should beamalgamated. A Government MortgageBoard should be constituted to take oyerthe long and sliort-term loans, whicharc at present administered by theLands Department, the State AdvancesOffice and the Rural Intermediate CreditBoard.
This Mortgage Board should alsoinvestigate the possibility of adjustingmortgage charges to farm returns, andalso to ensure an even flow of income tothe mortgagee. Mortgage bonds of thelong-term amortized type are recom-mended, with interest adjusted to currentlate at five-yearly intervals.
A development commission or boardof works should be set up to dovetailPublic Works and co-operate with theGovernment, local authorities and thebanking system to mitigate some of theeffects of booms and slumps.
Devaluation of Pound.The New Zealand pound should be
devalued at the 125 rate in the interestsof certainty and economic recovery, buta swing of five points on either sideshould bo permitted in order to controlthe internal price structure, the exchangerate being the most potent instrumentof monetary control. The Reserve Bankshould quote a "forward" exchange rateto safeguard importers. For the purposeof open-market operations, a short-termmoney market should be built up, theReserve Bank Act to be amended tomake this more easy to attain.
For cheaper and more efficientfinancing of production, trade and agri-cultural bills should be encouraged inplace of overdrafts.
"Credit Based on Production."The report gives a detailed and rea-
soned analysis of all the topics reviewed.The present monetary system is clearlyexplained. It is shown that Xew Zea-land even before the war was not onthe gold standard, but on the sterlingexchange standard, gold being unneces-sary. Credit in the main has beenbased on production.
Free deposits and their rate of turn-over arc shown to be the indicator ofbusiness conditions. Fixed depositshave been increasing absolutely andrelatively, and thus less money has beenused by the business world. There is-plenty "of credit available; the difficultyis that there is little expectation ofprofits while farm returns remain low.
Hitherto tlic trading banks, themajority 'being controlled by outsideinterests, have had no conscious mone-tary policy; but these defects in thebanking structure should be remediedby the operation of the Reserve Bank,which, with the acquisition of sterlingfunds, will be in a strong position
In a discussion of the relation of theState to tho banking system, the com-mittee remark that the State appointeeson the directorate of the Bank of NewZealand have not acted for the Govern-ment, but for the shareholders. Thereport discloses that the original inter-nal debt conversion scheme was a volun-tary one, Lut was rejected by the banks.The committee consider that the bankscould have co-operated more, and thatfor the future the Bank of New Zea-land, while subordinating the profit-motive, should be used to give a leadto the commercial banks.
The non monetary factors in the de-pression are used to show the mainunderlying causes of maladjustment asfar as New Zealand is concerned, theconclusion being that a monetary solu-tion is not sufficient.
Banking and Credit.Banking and credit is discussed and
it is shown that the volume of creditdepends on the value of production, thereal fault of the price and productionsystem being that it is out of balance.
The concept of a stable internal pricelevel, the difficulties of index numbersare also examined. It is shown that ifthe internal price'policies advocated inmany schemes are pursued, a rigidly con-trolled economy would bo necessary toavoid inflation.
The quantity theory of money is ex-amined in relation to the difficulty _ofcontrolling inflation; currency inflationas a method of taxation and its effectson various economic classes are also dis-cussed. The extreme difficulties of con-trolling the monetary situation arestated clearly, it being shown that in-flation can exist even with a stable pricelevel. In a discussion as to why theexchange rate has been comparativelyBtable, the gold standard explanationbeing rejected, the purchasing powerparity theory and the "demand andsupply of sterling funds" theory are ex-amined. The conclusion is that thebanks have always pegged the exchangerate and that the term "natural" isinapplicable. The banks have alwayskept "an exchange insurance fund" inLondon. Demand and supply of Londonfunds have not determined the rate ofexchange in the short run.
Effects of High Exchange.The high exchange rate is fully dis-
cussed,-the conclusion being that, com-pared with other countries, New Zealandhas been extremely conservative as faras depreciated currencies are concerned.After examining the Danish situation,it is shown that Denmark did not depre-ciate her exchange as a competitivemove against New Zealand. The evi-dence also makes clear that the high ex-change rate has had no material adverseeffect on the prices of our primary pro-ducts—that is, it has been a net gainand incidentally has saved the fruit in-dustry from bankruptcy and benefitedthe manufacturers. The London fundsare discussed and it is disclosed thatpreviously there have been large accu-mulations. A strong case is made outfor devaluing the currency at 125 andusing the exchange rate as an instru-ment of control.
THE COMMITTEE.The Monetary Committee, which pre-
sented its report to Parliament to-day,was composed of the following membersof Parliament: Messrs. J. A. Nash,Palmerston North (chairman); A. J.Murdoch, Marsden; J. N. Massey, Frank-lin; F. Lye, Waikato; C. H. Clinkard,Rotorua; H. Holland, ChristchurchNorth; F. W. Schramm, Auckland East;J. W. Munro, Dunedin North; F. Lang-stone, Waimarino; Captain H.' M. Rush-worth, Bay of Islands; Hon. W. DownieStewart, Dunedin West.
Dr. W. B. Suteh and Mr. B. C. Ash-win were attached to the committee asan expert secretariat, and Mr. D. W.A. Baker, of the Treasury, acted assecretary. The main report was signed•by Messrs. Nash, Clinkard, Holland,Lye, Massey and Murdoch. Mr. DownieStewart signed an explanatory state-ment of his views, while Messrs. Lang-stone, Munro and Schramm (Labourmembers) and Captain Rushworth(Country) signed a memorandum of dis-sent setting out their conclusions.
BANKING SYSTEMMORE CONTROL.
GOVERNMENT'S PART.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE.PItIVATE BANKS CRITICISED.
(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)
WELLINGTON, this day."It is evident that the past policy
of the Bank of New Zealand could havebeen such that a Reserve Bank lieodnot have been necessary. We now em-phasise that under no circumstanceshould the Government withdraw itspower of appointment to the directorateof the Bank of New Zealand."
This statement is contained in thereport of the Monetary Committee pre-sented to Parliament to-day. It exam-ines the banking system of the Do-minion, its relation to the State, andthe establishment of a Reserve Bank.
"There can be no argument againstthe right of the State to control cur-
rency and credit within its borders,"states the committee. "The paramountauthority of the State must not be
I merely permissive and negative;, itI must be active and positive. Insofar as
i legislation limited the activities of thebanks, they have been controlled by theState, but this control was merely alegal i'ramework—it .may have givenform, but it certainly did not givedirection, to the banking system.
Position in the Past."A statement by the Minister of
Fill alice sums up the position existinghitherto. It indicates that our bankingsystem was operated by external boardsof directors, whose integrity is not ques-tioned. but whose main aim was. quiteproperly for competitive profit-makinginstitutions, the maximising of divi-dends for shareholders. There is nosuggestion that the banks in New Zea-land have acted deliberately in a man-lier which they considered would preju-dicially affect the interest of New Zea-land. It may also be added that in thelong run the prosperity of New Zea-land means the prosperity of the banks,but the. converse is not always true;the fact that banks are propering doesnot mean that New Zealand is pros-perous.
"In the past the banks in Now Zea-land have had their way without con-trol or supervision. Tt was contendedthat control would he 'interference.' and,generally, this one word was sufficientas an argument. But banking is soessentially a matter of the public in-terest that it is unthinkable that thisfunction should bo left under privatecontrol. It may also here be mentionedthat anv legislative improvements inthe banking system, both in Englandand in New Zealand, have been initiatedby Governments, not by the banks.
Shareholders' Viewpoint."When the Bank of Xew Zealand
failed in the 'nineties, the Governmentcamo to its aid and reconstituted thobank, giving the. State a two-thirdsmajority on the directorate, the objectpresumably beiiiK to ensure that thelargest bank in the country should haveclose contact with the Government. Allthe evidence shows, however, that theGovernment directors on the Bank ofNew Zealand have not acted for theGovernment, but have taken up theshareholder point of view that dividendsshould be the main criterion by whicha banking concern should be judged.And, if dividends be the criterion ofsuccess, the bank has been admirablysuccessful. In several cases it lias hap-pened that the Government appointeeson the Bank of New Zealand havepublicly criticised Government policy.It is the duty of a State appointee toadvise and to criticise any action pro-posed by the Government, but he shoulddo this primarily to the Government.
Treasury Bills."When the British Government was
borowing on Treasury bills at a rateas low as 4/9 per cent, when the IndianGovernment borrowed on Treasury billsat 1 per cent, when the South Africanrate varied from If to 2J per cent, whcithe Australian rate was 2A per cent,the New Zealand Government was pay-ing £5 8/0 per cent on Treasury bills—the best security in New Zealand. Thiswas an exorbitant rate. It was reducedrecently to 5 per cent, but this stillindicates that the banks were treatingthe Government as they would a purelycommercial customer who applies for anoverdraft. It is not suggested that Hiebanks could have lent at 1 per cent,but they certainly could have lent atless than half what they did charge andstill have made a profit. These exorbi-tant interest rates will, of course, bealtered by the Reserve Bank, which willwork in close co-operation with theGovernment.
"When the Government finally tooksome steps to direct monetary policyand raised the rate of exchange to helptowards internal economic equilibrium,the banks opposed this move, althoughin Australia and Denmark—and, for thatmatter, in Great Britain also—the fixingof the rate at the appropriate level wasachieved by the Government and thebanks acting in harmony. The economicposition—the relation between costs andprices—in the four countries was simi-lar; in the primary producing countriesespecially was the fall in export pricesacute; there may have been bankingopposition in the other countries men-tioned, but, if this were so, the banksdid not embarrass the Government bymaking the opposition public.
A "Hard Bargain.""In connection with the Banks Indem-
nity (Exchange) Act, the banks alsodrove a hard bargain, transferring a low-earning asset in London to a well-payingone in New Zealand. While it may beright to indemnify the banks for losseson surplus funds on account of a fall inthe exchange rate, this does not meanthat the Government should have beenasked to pay 5 per cent on funds heldduring the currency of the high ex-change rate.
"When the Government proposed toset up a Reserve Bank, although themajority of the banks indicated theirwillingness to co-operate, the Bank ofNew Zealand again openly and publiclyopposed the idea. Officers and directorsof the Bank of New Zealand, in fact,went out of their way to let the publicknow what they thought of the con-sidered proposals not only of the Gov-ernment, but of all banking authorities.Parliament's answer was to proceedwith the Reserve Bank of New ZealandAct.
"If, in the 'nineties, the Governmenthad made the Bank of New Zealand anentirely State-governed institution andhad absorbed tile smaller banks, to-daywe should have had as an accepted part
of our economic framework a bankingsystem already operating solely in thepublic service; but the position was leftso that competitive private banking con-tinued. In these circumstances, theReserve Bank is the only means of con-trol in the national interest.
"Competitive banking is here, thoughwe might admit that it is often waste-ful. Duplication and overlapping couldhave been avoided in the past, but tosome extent we must accept the statusquo. It depends on the political andsocial philosophy of a country as towhether or not deposit banking shouldbe socialised. If the productive systemis to remain unplanned and marked bycompetitive individualism, a socialisedbanking system could act only as doesoiir present banking system—that is.according to the credit-worthiness of theapplicant for an advance and to hischances of making a profit. Under thesecircumstances, the gain from socialisedbanking would be merely the elimina-tion of wasteful overlapping.
Lead Suggested."As increasing measures of direction
and control over the economic systemare instituted, so must the banking sys-tem be progressively controlled anddirected. For this purpose, in order toimplement the policy of the ReserveBank and in order to give a lrad to thecommercial banking world, the Stateshould exercise to the fullest extent itspower of appointment to the directorateof the Bank of New Zealand to ensurethat the primary object of the bank'spolicy will in future be to promote thenational well-being of New Zealand. Forexample, the rate for advances could bedetermined by the policy of the Bankof New Zealand,"*which already does 50per cent of the total business of thecommercial banks. Profits in the pasthave been too often the criterion; forthe future, and as a definite policy, theprofit motive in banking should bestrictly subordinated to that of serviceto the national interests."
MR STEWART'S VIEW.
"UNWISE TO EXPERIMENT."
MARKETS, NOT CREDIT, LACKING.
The report was not signed by Mr.Downiu Stewart, who, in an explanatorystatement, said that by inference' itadvocated Socialism and socialisedbanking; also that "the hostile criticismof the trading banks was mischievous."lie justified the high profits earned bythe banks because the State has a one-third holding in the Bank of New Zea-land, "and draws a rich revenue there-from.'' He added that the report dis-cusses too many theoretical schemes, andthe remarks 011 the gold standard aresuperfluous, nor did lie know of anybanker who did not fix the l'atc otexchange on the demand and supplyprinciple.
His conclusion was that, because ofthe establishment of the Reserve Bank,it would be unwise to experiment withany new monetary schemes, and "itwould only create confusion to considerth© adoption of other schemes." '"Jt isnot credit that is lacking in New Zea-land to-day, but adequate marketsoverseas."
LABOUR DISSENT.
NOTE ISSUE ADVOCATED.
CONTROL OF CREDIT.
A memorandum of dissent was signedby. the Labour members on the commit-tee and by Captain Rushworth. Theyslate that the non-monetary factors inthe depression are a result of the mone-tary system. They cite the Southamp-ton and London Chambers of Commerceand the World Economic Conference asstating definitely that the cause of thedepression was monetary.
_
They say that since the Royal Mintceased manufacturing all the money re-quired, a fundamental change has comeover the monetary system, in thatmoney can now be withdraw), from cir-culation. Because New Zealand operateson a sterling base, wc are subject to thepolicy of the Bank of England, andtinder the control of the Bank of Inter-national Settlements. They allege thatthe associated banks and now the Re-serve Bank are the instruments of theBank of England.
In stating that banks create moneyand aUo vast debts, the four signatoriescontend that when advances bringmoney into circulation, it should notcreate a debt. The amount of moneyshould represent the amount of realwealth.
The recommendations are:—Unifiedcontrol of the volume of currency andcredit; the elimination of private inter-ests and sterling restriction!! irom theReserve Bank Act; the creation of ap-parently noi.-repayable money for con-sumers, pensioners, the unemployed, theincapacitated, and all producers whoseprices do not reach pre-depressionvalues; and a monetary policy to aim atstabilising the New Zealand wholesaleprice level. "Credit expansion to bolimited only by the volume of consum-able goods produced and desired by thepeople." If exchange stability is nototherwise possible, then exchangeshould be rationed for sssential commo-dities.

FLOGGED TO DEATH.
MURDER CHARGE FOLLOWS.BRITISH WIDOW IN DOCK.
NAIROBI, August 1.The Magistrate's Court at ICital.e has
committed Mrs. Helen Selvvyn, widow ofa Liverpool man, for trial before theSupreme Court of Nariobi on a charge ofmurder following the death of a nativeafter a flogging alleged to have beeninflicted on Mrs. Selwyn's orders.
Five Ivuosh natives were committedon a similar charge.
Mr. Selvvyn, who has since died in hos-pital, together with his wife and five oftheir native employees were arrested onJuly 15, in connection with the death ofa native of the Suk tribe on June 25.
At the preliminary bearing the Crownalleged that, following the theft of seve-ral cowbells from the Selwyn's estate,Mr. Selwvn, accompanied by a group ofhis employees, set out on the track ofthe thieves.
According to the Crown, - the partycame to the Suk tribesmen's reserve, butby this time Mr. Selwvn had fallen be-hind his employees. When he caughtup with them, he found then engaged ina violent argument with four Suknatives in a hut on a neighbouring faYm.Here it is alleged that the natives werebeaten up by Mr. Selwyn's employees.
Later, at the two days' preliminarymagisterial hearing, the Crown allegedthat the natives, who were accused ofthe theft of the cowbells, were broughtbefore Mrs. Selwvn, at her house, andshe then instructed that they should beHogged.

FIFTEEN-TON REPTILE
BONES AT WATER HOLE.
150 MILLION YEARS OLD.
CHICAGO, August 12.Interesting disclosures of conditions in
America some 150 million years agowere made by Hans C. Adamson, assis-tant to Trubee Davidson, president ofthe American Museum of Natural His-tory, when on his way back to NewYork from tlio Wyoming headquartersof the American Museum-Sinclairexpedition.
He revealed that there were "gang-sters" in the world that long ago, whopreyed on other creatures, and lie toldof an ancient drought that makes thepresent one look wet.
His view of prehistoric America wasobtained from the Keyhole Valley, nearthe Big Horn Mountains, where workersare unearthing bones of long extinctcreatures from a quarry less than 70ftlong and 45ft wide. Already 12 sauro-pods, gigantic 15 ton amphibian reptilesof the dinosaur period, have beenrecovered.
The story of the drought of long ago,Mr. Adamson said, was reconstructedfrom the bones of the monsters. Thefact that they were gathered togetherindicated that they were trying to obtainone last drink from a rapidly dryingspring, probably the last in the entirevicinity.
"As we were taking out the big bones,of the sauropods," continued Mr. Adam-son, "we were surprised to run acrosssome comparatively small creatures.These monsters, we estimated, weighedonly fire tons, but they we19 gangsterspreying upon the flesh of the larger ones.
"But their avidness for sauropod meatled them into* trouble, for in followingthe amphibian herd they.- too, got caughtin the drought and died at the emptywater hole."
SCANDAL LAWSUITS.
MARY PICKFORD PROTESTS.
UNSUPPORTED ALLEGATIONS.
CHICAGO, August 12.Mary Pickford said here yesterday,
on the eve of leaving for the PacificCoaat, that she plans to urge legislationin Washington providing that Courtspass on the validity and merit ofcharges made in lawsuits before .theyare permitted to be made public.
The screen star said she would pat-tern her proposed law after those ineffect in England and Canada, whichprovide punishment for any personguilty of making statements that can-not i>e substantiated which damage thereputations of the innocent.
Mies Pickford is defendant in a250,000-dollar breach of contract suitfiled in Xew York by Edward Hemmer,her self-styled former "foster father"and manager. Hemmer declares he hasearned that sum by protecting her"reputation" and shielding her from un-favourable publicity.
Indicating that she will take a per-sonal interest in the introduction ofsuch a bill in Congress as she proposes,1Miss Pickford said she would interviewher Congressmen in California on thesubject. "I will go to Washingtonmyself if it will help," she declared. "Iam a taxpayer and a citizen. I feel thatthe law should provide that no onecan be attacked publicly in Court with-out the Court first determining that thecharges have some foundation in fact.
"This is the fifth time this case,brought 'by Heminer, has come to publicattention. Why should 1 be penalisedand punished each time a new set ofhijhly imaginative claims is iiled? Thiscase is more important than just a mailsuing a woman. It's the general aspectthat's more vital to me—not so muchmy own particular interest. I'll standon my constitutional rights and notbudge an inch—not if claims are filed55 more times."
EX-KING'S DIPLOMACY.
ALFONSO THE PEACEMAKER.
PARIS, July 30.Ex-King Aironso of Spain has again
shown that ho has not lost that skill asa master politician with which he savedhimself from many an awkward situa-tion when he sat on Spain's uneasythrone.
From Fontainebleau he has patched upfor the time being two dangerous splitswhich threatened to shatter the growingforces of the rightists in Spain. First,
he has persuaded those who favoured theadoption of his third son, Juan, as can-didate for the throne that to dividemonarchist ranks at this juncture wouldbo fatal. Secondly, he has persuadedhis loyal supporters to end their war onthe Catholic party, headed by young GilRobles, who have been flirting with theidea of turning Republican ■ since theirvictory in the last election.
"Any port in a storm," Alfonso is saidto have advised his followers.
Thus the last Bourbon ruler will sendhis son, Juan, back to his job as mid-shipman in the British Navy when theboy's two months' leave is over, at thesame time assuring Juan's supportersthat when the time is ripe the boy, andnot the overthrown king, will be candi-date for the throne.
Alfonso's action in ending the fight ofmonarchists on the Catholics broughtsuch gratitude that a Catholic envoy,Senor Valiente, 54-year-okl leader ot'the Catholic youth, visited the king andpresumably thanked him. News of thevisit leaked out and caused some stir.Senor Valiente promptly denied he hadbeen in Fontainebleau, which was true,as Alfonso rtceived him in a suite whichho maintains in a Paris hotel.
The reuniting of the rightist forcesin Madrid was celebrated with a lun-cheon held in the splendour of the palaceof the Duke of Fernan-Nunez, one ofSpain's richest grandees. Here theguest of honour was Joss Maria GilRobles, who only a few days before hadbeen hailed by the governing Radicalparty as a worthy recruit to the Repub-lic. It is said that when the talk turnedto politics Gil Robles got the monarchiststo continue the financial support' whichhelped the Catholics win the electionsand to agree not to renew tlieir attacksif the necessities of politics at themoment tended to lead hiin away fromorthodox monarchist beliefs. In returnfor this the Catholics agree to fight theAgrarian Reform bill, which expropriatessome 2,000,000 acres of land belongingto the grandees.
There is one fly in this otherwisehealthful looking monarchist ointment.It is the Hispanic bloc, a new rightistmovement, ultra-nationalist and Fascist,which is being formed by Jose CalvoSotelo, Finance Minister under the dic-tatorship of Primo de Rivera, who re-turned recently from three years in exile.Calvo Sotelo, who is the outstandingfigure on the right and was expected toto contest leadership with Gil Robles,has gone off by himself. Already he hasrallied to his support the errant andexplosive Dr. Albinana, who has his ownsmall Fascist group and is expected soonto win over young Jose Antonio Primode Rivera, the dictator's son and leaderof the Spanish phalanx, so far the big-gest Fascist movement in Spain.

LAND DEPARTMENT.
CITY COUNCIL'S WORK.
ESTATE AGENTS' SUGGESTION".
The opinion that it was not In tliebest interests of the community as awhole for the City Council to maintainits own land department was expressedin a letter received from the secretaryof the Auckland branch of the RealEstate Institute of New Zealand.
"Various Government Departmentscompete with their own taxpayersseverely," continued the letter, "and itis hoped that the council will not'- enterthe field, as high taxation and severecompetition added to depressed businessconditions make it very difficult forsome of our members. As preference isto be given to taxpayers and residents,it is pointed out that many of ourmembers are heavy ratepayers and oldresidents of this city, and feel them-selves entitled to such land agencywork as may be offering, and there aremany agents of experience and inte-grity who coukl undertake the inspect-ing and collecting better and cheaperthan those who are likely to be at-tracted by the council's advertisement.
"For the reasons mentioned, it isearnestly desired that the council willnot enter into competition with, theirown ratepayers, especially as therewould appear to be 110 necessity." Theletter concluded with the suggestionthat the matter might be discussed witha small deputation representing theinstitute.
It was decided to reply to the insti-tute that it was the opinion of thecouncil that the appointment of awhole-time officer was essential.
Mr. J. L. Coakloy suggested that asthe council was such a large landagency concern it should become amember of the Real Estate Institute.

Not a RheumaticPain for 4 Years70-Years-Old Man Praises
KruschenStill Fit for a Day's Work
A man who once suffered severely fromrheumatism writes:—
"For a long- time I suffered with rheuma-tism, and at one time was laid up for aboutnine weeks. About Ave years ago I wasacTvlsed to try Kruschen. I did so, and havecontinued using them ever since. Kruschendid the trick, as I have not had a rheumaticpain for over four years. I am nearly TOyears of age, and reeling flne, and alwaysable for my day's work — thanks toKruschen."—A.S.
If only everyone would realise thatthe "little daily dose or Kruschen" Isjust as important to Internal cleanlinessas soap and water are to external cleanli-ness, there would soon be no more consti-pation, no more sluggish livers, no morarheumatism, gout or lumbago.
If the eliminating organs become sluggish,they permit harmful uric acid to accumulateand deposit itseir in the tissues, musclesand Joints in the form of needle-pointedcrystals, which cause the excruciating painsof rheumatism.
Two or the ingredients of Kruschen Saltshave the power or dissolving uric acklcrystals. Other Ingredients assist Natureto expel these dissolved crystals throughthe natural channels. In addition, there arestill other salts which preventrood rermentation In the intestines, andthereby check the further accumulation notonly or uric acid but of other bodypoisons which undermine the health.
Moreover, these various salts are arrangedwith such scientific exactitude that thereis no possibility of lowering arter-effects,however consistently " the little dallydose" is taken.
Kruschen Salts is obtainable at allChemists and Stores at 2/0 per bottle.

TALK AT LYCEUM CLUB.
At a luncheon held at tb« Lyccum Clubyesterday, Mr. H. L. E. Priestman, assis-tant-Trade Commissioner for Canada,gave a talk to a large gathering of mem-bers on "Canada To-day." Mrs. Ken-neth Gordon presided.
The speaker first gave a graphic de-scription of the position of Canada, geo-graphically, its climatic conditions andits inhabitable areas. Referring to his-torical points, he said that the firsteffective contacts with Europeans werenot made until the end of the 15th cen-tury, .jvhsn. John Cabot, sailing fromEngland, reached Canada in 1497. Later,in 1534, a French expedition underJacques Cartier.sent out by Frances 1.,sailed into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, anda year later sailed up the river to thespot, where Montreal now stands. Thepart that the French played in the de-velopment of Canada was also dweltupon. It was by the Peace of Parisin 1703 that Canada was finally ceded toGreat Britain.
In dealing with the methods of theFrench in the settlement of Canada, Mr.Priestman said that at one time theFrench Government sent out 1200 pickedgirls, who were married in batches of30 to soldiers or colonists. The coupleswereprovidedwith cows, oxen,a pair ofswine, fowls, and a sum of money bythe Government. It was considered adisgrace to be unmarried. This paternalattitude of the Government was not ap-preciated by the more independent spiritsamong the men, who left the settlementsfor the wilds, and later became knownas voyageurs, a type very distinctiveof Canada.
The vast hydro-electric resources ofthe Dominion were also spoken of, andMr. Priestman told his audience that inOttawa electricity was sold, retail, at afarthing a unit. He mentioned thatarum lilies which in New Zealand growwild were at Easter-time in Canada soldat from 3/ to 5/ a bloom. •« Cream couldbo bought at I/O a" quart duringpart of,the year." Quoting a statement madeby an authority, Mr. Priesman said thatCanada was now more prosperous, thanthe United States, largely due to thefact that it had relied upon private en-terprise. No bank in Canada had failedfor many years, nor had the country anywar debt to the Imperial Government.Canada had paid'its way as it" went,spending many millions on the war.
Guests at the luncheon were Mrs. Gil-bertson, a former vice-president of theHastings Women's Club, - Mrs'. H. L. E.Prieslman, and Mrs. Mackenzie, Canter-bury." " .f;.r V" , '

THOUGHTS ABOUT WIVES.
Lord Reading uttered some thoughtsabout wives recently when ho was pre-sented with the freedom of Deal.
This is. what he said:"Wives are too partial to overlook
their husbands' faults."Wives put lip with husbands who, in
comparison, are coarse, brutal things."Wives know far more of what men
are thinking than men know of whatwomen are thinking.
"However clever and acute in percep-tion a man is, a woman who cannot e6m-paro with her husband in distinction,culture, or intellectual power completelyputmasters him in the understandings ofwhat the man's thoughts are, and par-ticularly his thoughts in regard towomen." • ' . -
Lord Reading lias been married twice.His first wife, whoti he married in ISS7,died in 1930. In 1931 he married Miss
I Stella. Charnaud, his private secretary.

"J'FIRST DOSE RELIEVED THE PAIN'says Mr. E. Keiland of Exeter, who writes:—
"For a long time I suffered severepainsin my stomach ; it seemed to be gettingworse until I dreaded eating anything.The pain got so bad I was afraid I had amalignant growth in my stomach. I wasadvised to try 'Bisurated1 Magnesia—thevery first dose relieved the pain and nowI can eat practically anything withoutany pain whatever. I am 74 years oldand life seems worth living again."
What appeared to Mr. Keiland to be aseriousdisease proved to be another caseof Acidity! This condition is prevalentamong men and womenof all ages and isresponsible for such ailments as indiges-tion, gastritis, stomachulcers, headaches,biliousness, insomnia, etc.—all symp-toms of acidity. It's marvellous how•Bisurated'Magnesia attacks and defeatsacidity-it's amazing how'it give 3 suchquick and lasting relief—the reason isthat it instantly removes the cause.
There is no more effective antacidthan 'Bisurated' Magnesia—that is whydoctors and hospitals have used endrecommended it for over 20 years andstill consider it has no rival.

STABLE AND TRACK NOTES
LED ALL THE WAY.Prior to being sent to Awapuni Rerepai
was always looked upon as a very pro-mising hack, and he fully bore out thisopinion by the manner in which he ac-counted for the Durie Hack Handicap atWanganui yesterday. He quickly jumpedto the front and stayed on in good style tobeat Cyclonic.
FINISHED ON STRONGLY.Limbohm put up a good performance
when he ran third in the Winter Cupat the National meeting, and consequentlyhe was well supported in the MarangaiHandicap at Wanganui yesterday. Hewas one of the rear pair till the straight,and finished on splendidly to get the ver-dict by a narrow margin from Spiral, towhom he was conceding a fair start at thehomo turn.
STOPPED AT FINISH.Royal Feast, after his second in the
Novice Handicap, of Bix furlongs, to"Windward at Trentham in July, wasthought to have a great chance of winningthe Maiden Race at Wanganui yesterday.He was always in a handy position, andhalf-way down the straight was appar-ently going easily in front. However, hewas unable to withstand the challenges o£Flammarion and Sunee, and was beatennarrowly by both of them at the finish.Royal Feast has not done a great dealof racing, but with more experience heshould get some money.
NEW ZEALAND CUP CANDIDATE.Spiral proved himself to be a good
stayer last season, winning, among otherraces, the New Zealand St. Leger atTrentham. He made his first appear-ance this season in the Marangai Handi-cap at Wanganui yesterday and afterbeing third to Tiger Gain and MercianPrince to the straight, came through half-way down and looked to have the race inhand. However, Limbolim put in a greatrun over the final bit and just got upto beat him by a head. The race willimprove Spiral a great deal and the nexttime he is seen out he should prove muchmore difficult to beat. This colt is nomi-nated for the New Zealand Cup, and hewill probably be seen out in several otherimportant handicaps in the meantime,when a better line as to his prospectswill be gained. If trken to Auckland forthe spring meeting. Spiral, if he goes onwell in the meantime, should make thebig races up there interesting for hisopponents.
TO PLAY IN CHATHAM CUP FlNAL.—Members of the Thistle team (Christchurch), who will playThistle (Auckland) in the final of the Chatham Cup at Wellington on Saturday. From right: G. Suther-land, J. G. Simpson, D. Sutherland, J. Bruce, M. Mitchell, J. Paton, D. Hall, H. Johnston, R. Adam, G.
Walker, A. Sutherland and M. Mulcahey.
BACK TO HIS BEST.The Tiger is right back to his best form,
judging by the manner in which lie wonthe Flying Handicap at Wanganui yester-day. He jumped out smartly and ledpractically all the way, stalling off GoodHunting and Cadland in a most excitingfinish. The son of Sheffield, who istrained by his owner, Mr. G. A. Richards,at Hawera, is a good liorse when at hisbest, and further successes should go hisway in the near future.
RETAINS HER PACE.Mother Superior, who was one of the
best two-year-olds in the Dominion lastseason, commenced her three-year-oldcareer in the Seafiekl Handicap at Wanga-nui yesterday. She was drawn 011 theextreme outside, but began brilliantly andwas soon in front. She held her positionwith Rereatu and Passion Fruit along-side her to the turn, but then petered out.This filly has not grown much and is -.till011 the small side, but there is no doubtshe still retains her pace, and it shouldnot be long before she is again on thewinning list.
COULD NOT SEE IT OUT.Pin Money was' a useful two-year-old
last season, and made liis first appearanceas a three-year-old in the open sprint atMarton. Yesterday he contested theFlying Handicap at Wanganui, and jump-ing away smartly, was in behind The Tigerat the home turn, but he failed to hangon and was beaten into fourth place atthe finish. There is no doubt this three-year-old has pace, and he would only needto stay on a little better to win a decentstake.
MADE A LOT OF USE OF.Tiger Gain, after his 6ecotul to Davoio
in the Islington Handicap, oue mile anda quarter, looked *to be a good prospectfor the Marangai Handicap yesterday atWanganui, but he and Mercian Princejumped away in front and the pair didnot relinquish the lead until the hometurn. Tiger Gain being eventually beateninto third place! It looked as though TiperGain was made too much use of in beingkept up to Mercian Prince. More pati-ently ridden he would have been muchharder to dispose of.
FILLY DISAPPOINTS.Burnish, who showed phenomenal speed
as a two-year-old last season, made herfirst appearance this term in the FlyingHandicap at Wanganui yesterday. Shewas rather wayward at the barrier, thoughshe eventually got away all right. How-ever, she commenced to drift half-waythrough the race and was last at the hometurn, eventually finishing in that position.This was anything but an encouragingeffort for the Wanganui Guineas to-mor-row, but the race may improve her.
PERFORMED WELL.Cyclonic performed well during the
latter end of last season, and he snowedat Wanganui on Wednesday morning thathe was still very forward when he cut outhalf a mile comfortably in 50s, aftertraversing the first furlong in Hewas made favourite for the Durie HackHandicap yesterday, and was in the pic-ture all the way, Rerepai holding him offto score narrowly. It was a very pleas-ing effort and Cyclonic should prove agood proposition during the spring inlonger distance events.
IS IMPROVING.King's Knave had his first race this
season at the Marton meeting last week,and as a result of that outing he lookedan improved horse yesterday when hewent out to contest the Seaneld Handi-cap at Wanganui. He ran quite a fairrace, and it should not be long beforelie is right back to his best form again.
BOLTED HOME.Passion Fruit showed his best form
when he won the Seafield Handicap atWanganui yesterday. He was well backin the early stages, but half a wile fromhome put in a brilliant run, which cai-
ried him up to the leaders at the turn.He went out rather wide, but oncestraightened up nothing had a chance withthe Lord Quex gelding and he simplybolted home.
NEEDS RACING.Note Issue was on her toes when she
went out to contest the Maiden Race atWanganui yesterday. She did not beginas well as some of the others, and wasnever dangerous. The Paper Money fillyshowed great promise last season as atwo-year-old, and there is no doubt sheis an exceptionally nice mover. However,she will need a race or so to getherinto racing condition, and it should not belong before she makes good this season.
A PROMISING SORT.Sunee, by Australian Sun, the sire
of In the Shade, who won the EasterHandicap at Auckland, greatly impressedby his effort in the Maiden Race atWanganui yesterday. He was well backentering the straight, but came with agreat run over the final bit to almostget on terms with Flammarion, the judgedeciding a neck in favour of the latter.Sunee is one of «J. W. Lowe's team, andhe looks like being an early winner.
WON WELL.Flammarion, one of F. Davis' team,
recently showed at the Manawatu wintermeeting, when he ran second to WhyteMelville, that it would not be long beforehe gave a much better account of him-self. In the meantime, he has donewell, and reports from Foxton gave hima chance in the Maiden Race at Wanga-nui yesterday. He was never further backthan fourth when the field had properlysettled down, and finished on in greatstyle in the straight to score nicely.Flammarion is by Arausio, from Lucinette,and should have no difficulty in seeingout a much further distance during theseason.

TARANAKI AND AUSTRALIANS.
The Auckland Rugby Football Unionand Hockey Association are presenting adouble-feature at Eden Park to-morrowafternoon, when Taranaki will tackle thenew holders of the Ranfurly Shield—although it is not a challenge match—andAustralia will play Auckland at the stickgame.
The hockey fixture is scheduled for 1.30,and before the amber and blacks file outto meet the blue and whites, Ponsonbywill engage Marist Old Boys in the finalof the Rugby seveu-a-side tournament.
Taranaki first visited Auckland in 1887and won by a try (scored by J. H. Hemp-ton, New Zealand's greatest sprinter) tonil. Other familiar names to old-timerswere those of Alf. Bayly (New Zealandcaptain in 1893) and Stohr (father of thefamous 20th century goal-kicker). Mr.J. Arneil, now president of the Auck-land Union, was defending captain. AlbyBraund, who later succeeded him asskipper, was down in the programme as"centre" half, and brother "Jimmy" wasfull-back.
Down the corridors of time come echo-ing the footsteps of other majestic Tara-naki Rugby figures, among them: "Ally"and Hughie Good, Walter Bayly and J.Lambie, four New Zealand reps, whofigured in the 18S9 and 1890 matches;"Skinny" Humphries, a clever half, whoappeared in 1593 and represented theDominion as late as 1903; "Snip" Allen,another All Black, who was one of thiscountry's best inside backs in those days;and in 1594 our own R. B. Lusk (nowracing judge), played for Taranaki, al-though lie had fielded against that pro-vince as full-back for Auckland in 18S0;B. O'Dowda and W. Watson appeared in1895—they were destined to be New Zea-land rep. forwards; H. Mills, an inter-national wing-forward, showed up in 1890;Phil Jacobs, another All Black (1901),played wing three-quarter in 1898, in whichyear "Jimmy" Hunter arrived, to be fol-lowed by his equally famous and popularpartner, Simon Mynott, in 1900.
Twentieth century giants were: Dr. E.J. Fookes (father of K. and H. F„ whoplayed five-eighths against the 1934 AllBlacks a fortnight ago), Frank Glasgow,"Bill" Glenn, "Shaver" Hardgrave, J. J.O'Sullivan, O. Young, H. L. Abbott, J. D.Colman, Don Cameron, "Dick" Whitting-ton, E. Dive, H. Tama (great on the line-out), "Mick" Cain, Jack Stohr, CharlieBrown, Reg. Taylor and "Norky" Dewar(both were killed in the war), "Dick"Roberts, Jack Kissick and Loveridge.
After the war best remembered namesare: H. Masters, P. "11. Hickey, Kingston(although New Zealand's 1921 plucky littlefull-back first played for Auckland againstBay of Plenty in 1920), "Dick" Fogarty(1921 All Black, who later joined CollegeRifles and rendered yeoman service toAuckland in 1923-24), "Alfie" West (one ofthe greatest "characters" in our history),Handley Brown, Davy Johnston, A. L.Kivell. J. Walter, Arthur Collins, R. Wat-son, H. F. McLean (one of New Zealand|sgreatest loose forwards, playing against hisold province to-morrow), Kissick, RayClarke and Rutherford (a promising centrewhose career was cut short by ill-healthlast year).
Of the 52 engagements with TaranakiAuckland has won 35, lost 13 and drawn4. Points for Auckland 630. against 344.,
Results since the war:—l9l9, won 42—9and won 23—16; 1920, won 9—3 and won17—11: 1021, won 19—9, lost 10—21; 1922,won 13—8; 1923, won 30—9; 1924, won17—12; 1925, won 18—12 and 43—6; 1926,

During to-morrow's proceedings the pre-sident. Mr. J. Arneil. will present theBert Palmer Memorial Shield to the cleverTakapuna junior boys' team, which wonboth a very coveted trophy and the cham-pionship in its grade as well. Last, but notleast, an interesting exhibit will be theRanfurlv Shield. It is rather a coinci-dence that Taranaki, who took it awayfrom Auckland at Potter's Paddock onSeptember 4, 1913, should have the honourof playing the first representative matchagainst the province that has recovered itafter its many wanderings in the past 21years.

WESTERN SUBURBS' VISIT.
MARISTS FOR FIRST MATCH.
At the meeting of the council of theNew Zealand Rugby League last evening.Mr. Cyril Snedden presiding, a motion ofcondolence was passed to the Grahamfamily, of Devonport, 'n the de<uh of Mr.Josiah Graham, and the secretary reportedthat Mrs. Graham had been asked toaccept transfer of the deceased's life mem-bership medallion. Mr. Snedden said Mr.Graham was a great stalwart of the codefrom the earliest days.
The district secretary, Western SuburbsClub, Sydney, Mr. J. White, wrote underdate September 6, accepting the tour toA.ickland and stating that the side whichcrossed the Tasman could be relied uponto piovide brilliant play. The writer,who had been appointed manager, saidthat the trip was being looked forward toeagerly by the club and Sydney supporterswere also keenly interested.-
Mr. Carlaw reported on negotiations re-garding the Sydney team's visit and saidthe tourists would arrive in Auckland onthe 22nd inst., when it was desirable thatthe first match should be played.
After lengthy and earful considerationit was decided that Western Suburbs playon the day of arrival. Arrangementscould be made for the use of Carlaw Park,and it would be wise to make match pro-vision for the first week itinerary only atpresent.
It was decided that the first matchagainst the visitors be played by MaristOld Boys, the Wednesday match by New-ton Rangers and the third match (Satur-day) by Richmond Rovers.
The Canterbury Rugby League wroteasking that endeavour should be made topersuade the Western Suburbs Clubi toextend their tour to Christchurch. Thesecretary, in stating that representationswould be made to the visiting manager,said he doubted whether, in the event ofthe tour being extended so that the teamcould leave Wellington on October 16,instead of October 11 from Auckland, asarranged bookings from Wellingtoncould be made in view of the heavy pas-senger lists in advance in connection withthe Melbourne Centenary celebrations. Arequest from Gisborne for a match by thevisitors, addressed through the AucklandLeague, was also dealt with. A HerneBay supporter asked that considerationshould be given to asking an Australianreferee to come to New Zealand with theSydney champions to referee one match,in order to reveai differences, if any, inmethods of control of the game.
With regard to the suggestion of Aus-tralian club teams visiting the SouthIsland, it was considered desirable to cir-cularise South Island leagues for co-opera-tion prior to next club visit. It was alsomentioned that Sydney clubs might con-sider coming earlier, while the matter ofAustralian club visits to the North andSouth Island alternatively deserved con-sideration. The matters are to be dis-cussed with Western Suburbs officials.
Notification was received from Mr. H.C. Nicholls of his resignation as secretaryof the Hawke's Bay League. His suc-cessor was Mr. J. F. Williamson, of Tara-dale. The new treasurer was Mr. J.Vines. The writer reported that the codewas now on a healthy footing in the Bay,including strong Maori clubs. The resig-nation was received with regret, and Mr.Nicholls thanked for his report.
The Canterbury League was granted per-mission to play a challenge match at anearly date in Christchurch against WestCoast for the Anisy Shield.
The chairman said that inquiries re-vealed that the conduct of the code in
Otago was unsatisfactory, and some actionwould have to be taken in the generalinterests of the game. fx-*The Auckland League's application forpermission for Mount Albert senior teamto play at Hawke's Bay to-morrow was
W. Miki (South Auck-land. Transfer: J. Ginders, Otago toAuckland.
Maori Advisory Board.Mr. J. Rukutai, on behalf of the
Tamaki Club committee, addressed thecouncil regarding the Waitangi ShieldMaori competition. The trophy, he said,had created wide interest amongst theMaori people. It was now suggested thatthe status of the natives should be recog-nised by permitting them to assist thecouncil in the formation of a Maori Advis-ory Board representative of Hawke's Bay,Taranaki, Waikato and Tamaki. Permis-sion was asked for Tamaki team, whichhad beaten Lower Waikato, to play Tara-naki at New Plymouth for the shield, thewinners to play Waikato at Huntly onOctober 6. Mr. Rukutai said he proposedto visit Taranaki with the Tamaki teamon September 22, and discuss the matterwith the League and Maori supportersthere, and the board suggested could befinalised at Huntly.
The chairman said the council recog-nised fully that the Waitangi Shield, withthe historical associations in its name,was going to be a big factor in the spreadof the code among the Maoris. The Leaguedesired to arrange the shield competitionproperly.
The Tamaki challenge match was ap-proved, and Mr. Rukutai "-as authorisedto go ahead with the proposed formationof the Maori Advisory Board.
HOW TO MIX PAINT.
A FEW PRACTICAL HINTS.
Oil every beach and hauling out sitearound the harbour yachtsmen are busy(letting their boats for the coming
season. The following hints on paintingshould be useful, as they are the resultof many years' experience.
There is quite an art, or at least aknack, in the correct handling of a paintbrush. Good paint can be spoiled by poorapplication, but no amount of skill willmake good paint out of poor materials, soit pays to buy the best.
..
Many boat owners like painting, andconsider it as much part of their workas any other job aboard the ship. As arule, on big boats, it pays to employ atradesman to do the job, especially theinterior. .
If it is intended to mix your own paintthe quantity of the white lead and lin-seed oil should be the first care. If thewoodwork is new, first cover all knots andsappy streaks with shellac. Take lib ofshellac, thinned ' with one quart ofmethylated spirits. Put the shellac on thin.
A priming coat is necessary on newwork, or when the boat has been burntoff. For a priming coat use 51b pure whitelead, two pints raw linseed oil, half apint pure turpentine, and a small quan-tity of Japan drier. Mix thoroughly andapply thinly but evenly. After the primingcoat has dried, all cracks, nail holes, dentsand defects in the surface of the plankingshould be filled with putty made withgoldsize. Use fine sandpaper to smoothdown after each coat.
Mix the second coat as follows: 51bwhite lead, 1 pint raw linseed oil, quarterof a pint pure turpentine, email quantityJapan drier. It depends on how manycoats are to be used as to how the thirdcoat should be mixed. Some yachtsmenput an three coats of paint, especially onnew work, brushed out very thin. Thisis the better way, for several thin coatsare preferable to a lesser number of thickones. .
For the finishing coat mix 51b purewhite lead, 1 pint raw linseed oil, quarterpint of turpentine, quarter pint of goodcopal varnish. This will give a hard, glossyfinish.
. , ,
When mixing the lead, break it upwith the oil into a thin paste, then addthe drier or any tinting desired, thoroughlyincorporating them with the lead and oil,then add the balance of the oil.
Use a good varnish brush for generalwork, and brush it well out. Use a differ-ent brush in each colour wherever possible.For corners and other- places hard to getat, use a small fitch brush or sash tool.Give plenty of time for each coat to drybefore another is applied.
Be sure to have a smooth, clean sur-face. This is more than half the battle.Brush out each stroke evenly, and leaveit smooth. A rub down with fine sand-paper between the coats will give betterresults.
There are now so many reliable brandsof ready-mixed paint on tha market thatmany prefer to buy their paint ready foruse. It saves time, and often money,as just the right amount can be pur-chased. The above hints will apply, nomatter if the colour is bought for yourown mixing or ready for use.
YACHTING.GETTING THEM READY
A FEW PRACTICAL HINTS.
FINAL ANNUAL MEETINGS.
(By SPEEDWELL.)
In the early days of Auckland the portwas famed throughout the South Pacificfor its smart schooners and a few largercraft turned out by our local ship-buildingyards. Most of the schooners and theirbuilders have since "gone west," but ourpresent-day yacht and boat buildersworthily uphold Auckland's early reputa-tion for fast craft.
Every size of boat is built and wellcatered" for, and it will surprise many tolearn that there are 18 clubs in andaround Auckland, all in good going order.They are the Squadron, Akarana, Manu-kau Yacht, Manukau Cruising, Victoria,Ponsonby, Richmond, Heine Bay Juniors,Point Chevalier, Takapuna, Devonport,Wakatere, Tamaki, Otahuliu, Panmure,Howick, Power Boat and Outboard Clubs,also the Orakei, Ponsonby, Manukau andBirkenhead Model Yacht Clubs. In addi-tion, there are good clubs at Taurangaand Whangarei.
Far too many. I can hear some say, andin one way they may be right, but timeschange and the days when one or twoclubs attempted to look after all classeshave passed, in the writer's opinion. Thisis proved by several instances if one caresto think back a bit. The clubs that con-fine their attention to two or three classes,for instance, the keel yachts, or the mulletboat type, or the numerous classes 18ftand under, have a better chance of re-taining their members and giving themsatisfactory handicaps and prizes, than byspreading their attention over all classeswith fewer entries and less prizes foreach race. . .
Several of the present clubs were origi-nally started to foster cruising. Thensome owners wanted to race to the ren-dezvous, and one was arranged. Thisgradually led to the race being the chiefattraction, and harbour races and clubregattas were added. It all helped the
sport and did good, for sailing is thecleanest and most health-giving pastimeknown.
No better racing or cruising groundscan be found in any part of the worldthan the outer harbour and our wonderfulHauraki Gulf. Visitors, especially keenyachtsmen like Colonel Duncan Neill andhis brother, the late Mr. Robert G. Neill,who cruised in their own yachts to everyport of Great Britain and Ireland, alsoon the Continent, after a few days' cruisein the Gulf on board the Viking andTbelma, enthusiastically endorsed theopinion that the Hauraki Gulf was incom-parable for yachting, and they said thatwe were very fortunate in having such afine stretch of sheltered water at ourvery doore. Many of us who know theGulf in fair and foul mood—and it canbe both at very short notice, too—fullyappreciate the opinion of these visitors,also keen sailormen like Conor O Brien,Lieutenant Muhlhauscr, Walter Marks,Erling Tambs and many others who knowwhat they are talking about. For those otus who realise the pleasure and health-giving aspect of the sport ana Y,to help other men and boys of the cityto enjoy their leisure afloat, there nevercan be too many yacht clubs.
THE LATEST TYPE OF FAST CRUISER, built by Speedcraft Boat Co,
The boat is 32ft by Bft 6in beam, and is driven by a 40 h.p. engine.
WAKATERE BOATING CLUB.ANNUAL MEETING.
The annual meeting of the Wakatere IBoating Club was held on Wednesdayevening in the clubhouse, Narrow Neck,Mr. J. Brooke presiding over a good atten-dance.
In presenting his report, Mr. Brookesaid that the racing had been very keen,the entries averaging 14 boats, and 23boats started on regatta day. Thanks tomany friends, they were well providedwith trophies. The four races for theSpeedwell Cup were close and created alot of interest. He thought this trophyshould now be handed to the AnniversaryRegatta committee to be competed for byany Wakatere, whether they belonged toa club or not. He hoped that memberswho did not race their boats in clubevents would let junior members use them.There was every prospect, said Mr.Brooke, of getting the clubhouse enlargedand moved on to the beach. If this weredone, it would help the club to go ahead.The proposal had been submitted to theBorough Council and was now under con-sideration, the cost being estimated at£700. Seven new boats were in course ofconstruction, including three of the cruiserclass.
The balance-sheet, submitted by Mr. S.Richardson, showed receipts as £52 15/7.During the year a debit of £49 19/ hadbeen reduced by £37, and there was asmall credit balance.
The following officers were elected forthe season: —Patron, Mr. J. Hislop; pre-sident, Mr. J. Brooke; vice-presidents, aslast year; commodore, Mr. R. Hunt; vice-commodore, Mr. L. Amodeo; rear-commo-dore, Mr. J. Hunt; hon. secretary, Mr. R.Lockwood; hon. treasurer, Mr. D. Gray;starter, judge and timekeepers, Messrs. G.Miller and D. Gray: handicappers, Messrs.J. Brooke, A. Williamson and R. Hunt;committee, Messrs. G. Miller, G. Kemp,A. Williamson. N. Wing, S. Richardson,C Ilighet, G. McCarthy and W. Lethaby.
Some discussion on the question of affi-liation to the Auckland Yacht and MotorBoat Association took place. Mr. Highet smotion to affiliate was lost, only the pro-poser and seconder being in favour. Itwas decided, on the motion of Mr. L.Amodeo, to recommend to the generalcommittee that the club be incorporated.The question of handing over the Speed-well Cup to the regatta committee wasalso recommended, subject to the approvalof the donors, Messrs. Walker and Hall,and the commodore of the Devonport andTamaki Clubs, who are to be consulted.

THE EQUINOX.
It is a week off what is termed theEquinox, when day and night are ofequal duration. "Speedwell" is firmly ofthe old-fashioned idea that about this timewe get a succession of hard breezes andthat their direction has some bearing onthe quarter from which the majority ofthe wind and weather will come duringthe summer. In any case we are duefor a month or two of hard winds which,so far, have come fairly regularly once afortnight from the east and north-east.The next should come from the west, andit remains to be seen if the idea of theirprevalence from that quarter at this timeof the year forecasts a preponderance ofwesterlies later on.

CHATHAM CUP FINAL.
THISTLE AT WELLINGTON.
Thistle went South last night full ofhope and confidence to meet their name-sakes from Christehureh in the final ofthe Chatham Cup on the Basin Reserveto-morrow. The team is expected to beat full strength. There is every probabilitythat the final will be one ; of the keenestseen since the competition was inaugu-rated. The national spirit will be largelyin evidence during the week-end in tnecapital, and whatever team secures tnecup and the New Zealand championship,will Tequire to produce sparkling football.Auckland has every confidence in theThistle, but -their task is no easy one,according to Southern estimates of theChristehureh team's abilities.

The Seamen pressed from the opening■whistle, but Haggett and (Jay relieved.Linton and Hare played In rare under-standing, and Hitchens, after tricking

Haggett,who played a sterling game at full-back forExchange. The better combination of theSeamen's forwards, and the spoiling ofthe half-backs, proved too much for Ex-change. Hamilton claimed the "hat-trick"for Seamen by scoring his third goal fromclose range. But for the determinedefforts of Humphreys, Haggett, Behagueand Gay, the score would have beengreater.

FOURTH TIME.
MISS CULLING RUNNER-UP.
AUCKLAND LADIES' GOLF.
VICTORY FOR MISS STEVENS.
For the fourth occasion Miss E. Culling(Auckland) filled the role of runner-upin the Auckland ladies' provincial golfchampionship, the final of which wasplayed at Middlemore yesterday afternoon.Despite this exasperating experience, shehas won the event on two occasions, thefirst as far back as 1925 and later in 1929,and her record in provincial golf is aunique one. Miss Culling's conqueror yes-terday was Miss O. Stevens, of the NorthShore Club, who, with her sister, MissM. Stevens, has been regarded as littlebelow the first flight of New Zealandwomen golfers for several seasons, thoughneither has previously won an importantevent. They are both rated on a 4 mark,below which there are only a handful ofwomen players in the Dominion.
The final was keenly contested and theissue was in doubt until the eighteenthhole was played. At various stages eitherplayer had a lead of 2 up, Miss Cullingafter the fourth and her opponent afterthe ninth, eleventh and fourteenth, butthe Auckland player squared the game atthe sixteenth, only to miss her last win-ning chance on the next green. Therewere patches of consistent and brilliantplay, but both players made numerouserrors through the fairways and on thegreens.. The course, after being cut,developed a normal amount of run, thoughthe shortness of the grass *on the greensmade them rather on the fast side.
Run of the Play.A half in poor sixes marred the opening
of the game and then Miss Culling re-vealed the characteristic strength of hergame with her wooden shots at the secondand fourth holes, both of which she wonin birdie fours. As in the morning, ill-luck attended her tee shot to the fifth,'the ball rolling into one of the pots andshe failed to reach the green with hersecond. Miss Stevens played the hole wellto obtain a 4 and also won the next withan excellent second, which ensured the 4.Neither could get the 3 at the short holeand Miss Stevens took the lead when sheplayed a strong iron to the eighth greenand holed a putt for 3. The long ninthwas poorly played, both taking 4 to reachit, but Miss Stevens won in 6 and was2 up.
When Miss Stevens was short andbunkered at the tenth, Miss Culling wasgiven an opportunity of which she didnot avail herself, also being short, andwas lucky to get a win in 4. She strucktrouble at the next, topping her drive,then her second and third into the dongasand giving up the hole; Miss Stevens wasagain 2 up. There was no change untilthe fourteenth, the North Shore playerhaving recovered from the bunker at theprevious hole, to get a half in 3, whenher opponent had played an accurate ironto the middle of the green. Miss Cullinghit a poor wood for her second shot atthe fourteenth and Miss Stevens under-clubbed with an iron, but Miss Cullingwon the hole. A poor fifteenth was playedwith no change, and then Miss Cullingearned the applause of the gallery bysquaring the game at the sixteenth. Onthe next greeu she missed a reasonableputt, which would have given her the lead,while at the final hole, which MissStevens reached in 2, Miss Culling toppedan iron when faced with a 6hot over thebunkers. Her recovery shot found an-other bunker and Miss Stevens won 1 up.
The Middlemore Cup.The final of the Middlemore Cup between
the two young Middlemore players, MissN. Ballantyne (15) and Miss N. Noakes(16), developed into a run-away victory forthe former, as the result of a remarkablenine holes. She commenced with a 6 andthen had a run of four 4's and two 3's,to complete eight holes in 32. The longninth took 7, but even then her 39 forthe outward journey was the best of thetournament, an extraordinary effort fora player on her handicap. Inspired put-ting was the secret, for on four out ofsix greens she took only one putt. Thematch finished at the eleventh, Miss Bal-lantyne winning 8 and 7.
The medal foursome in the afternoonwas won by Mrs. H. Brinsden and MissK. Fouhy, 95-21—74.
New Zealand Tourney.On Thursday next the New Zealand
ladies' championship will commence atTitirangi, and unusual interest is attachedto it because of the participation of anAustralian team which will come over tocontest the Tasman Cup. The tournamentwill commence with the North v. SouthIsland match on Thursday, and next daythe first round of the championship willbe played. There is no qualifying play,the 50-odd players being drawn, the con-test then being one of elimination, oneround being playe_d daily.

OVER THE AERIAL.RADIO NOTES.
FROM FAR AND NEAR.
(By PHONOS.)
Tlio hour with "The Pirates" fromIYA on Sunday evening was thoroughlyenjoyable. No better occasion than aSunday evening could be chosen forthese G. and S. recordings. Perhaps as.further restrictions are raised—therestill appear to be some—we shall havethe complete opera in one evening.
The long-awaited second series of8.8.C. special recorded programmes is atlast cither en route or in the Dominion.The board announces that the first one,"The Fifth Form at St. Pontefract's,"will be broadcast within a week or two.It is a musical burlesque on school life,for which the English papers have muchpraise for its clever buffoonery.
The experimental programme "TwentyYears After," submitted as a nationaloffering by the 8.8.C. on August 4, ispublished in the latest number to handof "The Listener." Handled with thatattention to detail for which the 8.8.C.is famous, it must have been remark-ably effective over the air. As a synop-sis of events and personalities outstand-ing during July and early August, 1914,it forms a handy reference for thosewhoso freshness of memory is beingdimmed by time.
The Broadcasting Board is makingearnest endeavours to secure artists ofnote before its microphones. Two, bothof them sopranos, are to appear at YAstations this month. Madame ElsaStralia arrives in New Zealand on Sep-tember 18, and makes the first of herseries of appearances at 8.30 on Thurs-day, September 20, from 2YA. MadameMarglierita Zelanda, who has been sing-ing Tinder engagement to the AustralianBroadcasting Commission, will openanother New Zealand session on the air,commencing from IYA on Monday, Sep-tember 24.
On Wednesday next, from 8 to 10 p.m.,IZB will present from its studio a pro-gramme that should attract manythousands of listeners throughout NewZealand. '■Lee-Fore-Brace," the out-standing speaker on nautical topics ofthe Dominion, is making his 200 thappearance before the microphone onthis occasion, and to help in a realisticpicturisation the Mount Albert GrammarSchool choir is lending vocal assistance.Rehearsals have been frequent andthorough, and the programme, accordingto the speaker for the occasion, will bethe most ambitious he has yetattempted. It should bo well worthhearing.
A friend who has had a few days offwith influenza, has been guilty of listen-ing to IYA programmes throughouttheir daylight periods, and acclaims adiscovery. He writes to declare thatthe day programmes f»ro much betterthan the evening ones, and give a lis-tener much more of melody which hecan understand and appreciate. He sug-gests that IYA should try its eveningofferings in the daytime and let us havethe day programme at night. Andwouldn't there ho a howl from hundredsof listeners! The station would beaccused of serving up old records, and adozen other broadcast crimes, while thepen of the highbrow in music wouldveritably pierce the soul of the pro-gramme organiser. No, friend! Youridea might carry through once, if pro-perly presented as a specialty for tiredpapas who miss all that is offered totheir toiling wives at home, but it is nota solution of the greatest of all ourradio troubles, namely, what should wehave over the air.
Broadcasting in the United States ismuch more of a seasonal pastime, andconsequently a seasonal occupation, thanit is here with us. Summer and winteralike, our programmes may well beplaced on the same average of entertain-ment quality, though the former seasonappears to give less scope for sportsevents over the air. In North America,however, there is a definite winterseason, when the "high lights" of radioentertainment make their definiteappeals and secure their bookings forprogrammes or periods. Just at thistime, when we are considering liow weshall miss Australian programmes as avariety from our own, the numbers ofbroadcasters whose names are householdwords in the States are commencing thenew "season." The New York papersgive details of new series of programmesfeaturing people well known to usthrough motion pictures, and still betterknown in their own country over theair. Glancing down the lists one notesthe names of Bing Crosby, in a newweekly radio feature, Buddy Rogers,Amos 'n Andy, Denis King, "Roxy" andothers whom we have seen in shadowform. It is surprising to note amongthe regular contributors Mrs. FranklinD. Roosevelt, who is delivering weekly"current event" talks from WJZ onTuesday evenings. Democracies differ.

POULTRY KEEPING.
MARKETING OF EGGS.
CONTROL WITHIN DOMINION.
(By ORPINGTON.)
The New Zealand Poultry Boardreports that conditions relative to themarketing of eggs in the Dominion arefar from satisfactory from the point ofview of producers and consumers, andsimilar views have been expressed byresponsible organisations representingretailers. Whilst every egg that isexported must bo thoroughly tested forfreshness and quality, and every cratemust bo marked with the weight of eggstherein, together with the grader's certi-ficate, eggs for local consumption maybe offered for sale without any indica-tion whatever of the quality of theircontents—whether new laid, fresh, staleor chilled. I
One of the functions of the PoultryBoard is to develop the poultry industryin the Dominion. Recognising thatstabilisation and development of theindustry are primarily dependent uponincreased local consumption of eggs, andthat a guarantee of quality wouldencourage greater consumption, theboard is urging that regulations bebrought down to govern the sale ofeggs on the local market.
Chilled Eggs.The board is advocating that all eggs
placed in cool stores shall bo marked"chilled." Many thousands of eggswhich had been in cool storage formonths were sold to cons timers (and toretailers) during this winter withoutany indication of being "chilled," andactually at the same price as fresh eggs,being frequently mixed with the latter,although they had been in storage forperiods ranging up to six months.Bought at lOd or lid per dozen duringlast spring and sold in the winter atabout 2/ (in competition with producers'fresh eggs), these investments or specu-lations showed a net profit of about100 per cent for six months. It is notsuggested that efficient c.ool storageresults in serious deterioration of thewholesomeness and food value of eggs,but they should be sold on their merits,and priced accordingly. Official returnsshow that 115,159 dozen eggs were incool stores in the Dominion on March31, 1934, and only 2757 dozen on July31. As far as is known, "chilled" eggswere not offered for sale as such, andthe only reasonable assumption, sup-ported by reliable information, is thatthe buyers believed they were beingsupplied with fresh eggs.
Regulations now in force provide thatpreserved eggs shall be stamped withtho word "preserved," and this factsupports the board's contention thatappropriate regulations for the sale of"chilled" eggs should be brought downas soon as possible.
Grading and Marking.The board has requested the Govern-
ment to bring down regulations to pro-vide for the grading of eggs offered forsale to the public, eggs to be gradedfor quality and size as may be pre-scribed, the grade to be stamped on eachCSS• Department of Agriculturelias informed the board that the matterof preparing proposed regulations is inhand.
For the effective identification of eggsin connection with grading, chilling andpreserving it is essential that the inkor other material used should not be soaffectcd by methods in common use asto become defaced, obliterated, or easilyremovable. In accordance with a requestmade by the New Zealand PoultryBoard the Department of Agriculture isinvestigating this matter with a viewto the adoption of an elfective medium.
New Organisation.The Poultry-runs Registration Act,1933, provides that, in addition to ad-ministering the Act, the functions of
the Poultry Board shall he "generallyto organise and develop the poultryindustry."
The members of the board haveaccordingly adopted "organisation" asthe first plank in their platform, andarc _ taking active steps to form aDominion-wide organisation under thetitle of the ",N*ew Zealand Poultry Pro-ducers' Federation." A tentative con-stitution lias been adopted and widelycirculated. Briefly, the constitution pro-vides for the division of the Dominioninto four provincial districts, each ofwhich will be represented by a pro-ducers' member on the board. The pro-vincial districts are:—(l) Auckland(Auckland Province); (2) Wellington(Provinces of Wellington, Hawke's Bay,Taranaki and northern portions of Marl-borough and Nelson); (3) Canterbury-Westland; and (4) Otago-Southland.Provision is made for the formation ofbranches in any locality where there isa minimum of ton members; for theformation of district councils, a Domi-nion council and an annual conference.
When the now organisation has beenfully established, the present Xeiv Zea-land Poultry Association will cease tooperate, and the present right of recom-mendation of four producers' represen-tatives on the Poultry Board by theexisting association, as provided for inthe Act, will be transferred to the NewZealand Poultry Producers' Federation.
The registration fee has been fre-quently and erroneously referred to asa "tax," whereas all money from thissource is paid to the Poultry Board forexpenditure in furthering the best inter-ests of the poultry industry. The Poul-try Federation will provide a mediumwhereby the views, recommendationsand suggestions of poultry keepers con-cerning all matters of consequence tothe industry may be collectively repre-sented to the board and to the authori-ties, as may from time to time bedeemed necessary.
Formation of Branches.Members of the board, in collaboration
with the Xew Zealand Poultry Associa-tion, are now actively engaged in theformation of branches of the federationin various portions of the Dominion,and efforts will be intensified as soon asthe busy hatching setifcon is over.
In order to facilitate the establish-ment of branches, the board has under-taken to make a contribution to eachbranch towards defraying initial ex-penses.
The cordial support accorded bypoultry keepers, and the number ofbranches already formed, augur well forthe success of the movement and theattainment of the first object of thefederation, as laid down in the constitu-tion, viz.,—"To organise, develop andpromote the interests of the poultryindustry in general, and to foster aspirit of co-operation among all personsengaged in the poultry industry in NewZealand."

SHORTHAND - TYPISTS.
SHORTAGE IN AUCKLAND? IVALUE OF TRAINING.
When there is so much unemploy-ment, it may seem strange that itshould bo stated that there is a short-age in Auckland of trained junior short-hand-typists. Yet this statement ismade by an Auckland business manconnected w'-th the training of youngpeople for office work.
"When I say trained," lie explained,"I mean girls who can show a certi-ficate from a business college that shecan do 120 words a minute short-hand, and from 40 to 50 words a minutetyping. The impression created by mis-leading propaganda is that there are nojobs available for girls, but this isdirectly opposite to the true position.Only last week I had to inform ninefirms requiring a junior shorthand-typistthat none was available. It is a posi-tion that should not be, and is only dueto the false impression created in theminds of parents that there are no jobsoffering for their boys and girls."Parents had the wrong idea that it didnot pay to educate their childrenspecially for commercial work.
"A junior typist to-day will get from15/ to £1 a week to start, and if shefills her position to the satisfaction ofher employer there is little chance ofher position being threatened," headded. "The general opinion is thatshorthand and typing positions areconfined to girls, but that, too, is quitewrong. Boys who sccure the necessarycertificate after a course of trainingneed have no fear of not getting a posi-tion. In the United Kingdom, the UnitedStates, and Canada boys in increasednumbers are taking up shorthand andtyping."
SLUM CLEARING.
SUBSIDY AVAIT.ft TtTYRL
In connection with the proposals sub-mitted to the Unemployment Board bythe Mayor, Mr. G. W. Hutchison andthe Hon. T. Bloodworth for slum clear-ing in Grey Avenue and Airedale Street,the Unemployment Board has agreed toprovide a subsidy of 12 per cent on thecapital cost of slum clearing and housebuilding programmes undertaken bylocal bodies.
This information was before the CityCouncil last evening in a reference fromthe finance committee, which had re-ceived a, letter from the Commissionerof Unemployment. The subsidy willapply to those works proposed to becarried out by the council, and will bepayable in respect of actual improve-ment work, and will not apply to anyexpenditure incurred in the acquisitionof land.

CHAPTER XXX.—(continued.) ,
Remained one jrleam of interest in theday—
"Ah! Miss Ericsen." Tliat new house-parlourmaid had brought in a bowl fullof freshest every coloured sweet peas."I say, liow pretty." (Too bad hecould not underline that compliment bylooking at tlie girl, not the flowers.)"Do take as long as you can tidying myroom? That maddening nurse is theonly soul one's had to speak to since—Not going, are you
"Terribly sorry, Mr. De Castra, I'vegot my work—"
"Curse! I wanted some gossip. You'rethe only soul in the house who's underlifty or amusing. When can you devotea few moments to a very sick man?"
"Perhaps this afternoon.""Well, make k when old Mother
Brown takes her two hours off, willyou?"
• * • •
Somehow Sibyl Ericsen manoeuvredthis.
"Well, what .about our new visitors?—
Cosh, almost like the Swedish Invasionwhen I was up at Oxford. Remind meto tell you the Saga of the Dean and theAmbassador and the young ladies. Jove,but their women arc beautiful!—And theSwedes? Just the Swedes, I suppose?Healthy imbeciles."
"Imbeciles nothing! They certainlyarc not, Mr. De Castra."
"Sorry; calm yourself; I lie cor-rected," Pedro assured her. "They allsound too, too splendid; exactly like thepopulation of an H. CJ. Well's Utopia.And what is Miss Unity Paston like?"
"Well! She knows how to dress her-self better than most English girls," re-ported the girl from the Land ofWomen's Emancipation, sitting perchedon the extreme edge of the bottom of thebed and swinging a slim foot. "Thepurely social type. I shouldn't thinkshe'd any real culture? She's going infor business because she's got to havemoney, but I don't consider she's an ideain her head beyond getting a big timewith her own exclusive set."
"Ah, she didn't mention having metme, I 4|uppose?"
"She did, Mr. De Castra. Miss Pastonsaid something vurry complimentaryabout you."
"What?""Said, you'd stopped in once at her
shop and that she hadn't forgotten you;said you were the kind of man who worethe kind of clothes one would' alwaysremember what he'd had on."
"No English girl means that for acompliment," said Pedro mortified."Never mind. Go on telling me somemore about the fauna in the house, Miss—need I call you Miss?"
"No. While I'm in this position Ibelieve everybody has to call me'Ericsen.'"
"Sounds like a Rugby football hearty.What's your real name?"
The slender girl in uniform turnedaway to the window to hide her trium-phant rapture over the tone of thisquery. Steadying her voice, she replied,
"Sibyl, I like your running commen-tary lots better than the crosswords inmy" Sunday paper; tell me, what do youmake of La Roberts, Patricia?"
"Why! She's a lovely girl-—""Yes" yes, that's understood. What
do you honestly think of her.?""I think she has a beautiful disposi-
tion, even if they all call her so im-possible. Sincerely, I do. But—glie'sdumb."
"Dumb? The last thing I'd havethought. Wench jabbers away like ahundred parrot houses."
"She certainly does, but—oh, I—lsee. You say 'dumb' when you meandeaf mute? We say 'dumb' when wemean 6tupid."
"You find the lovely Roberts stupid?""I find her psychology absolutely
elementary. Psychologically speaking,she is still playing with dolls. And hasshe judgment of people? I should sayshe has not," declared the little Ericsen.Pedro nodded approvingly. It was balmto hoar the inappreciative Robertsaccused of having 110 judgment. Howentirely true. Whereas the little Eric-sen had wads of judgment, as well asbunches of sex appeal. This, as anyoutsider would note, was the beginningof the end; but not the end of theconversation—which went on until NurseBrown bustled in with thermometer andmedicine glass.'- .. - *
"Yes, one's feeling slightly better fora little human society," the disfiguredApollo admitted, out of the depths ofthe porridge-coloured Shetland mufflerwhich Mrs. Rawley had lent him. "Butone still puts up a life-like imitationof mill-girl with a gumboil."
"Nonsense, you don't look nearly asunusual as you think you do," declaredNurse Brown, meaning to soothe.
Sensible little Sibyl murmured, as sheslipped away to the staff quarters, "Themain thing is that mumps leave noscars. You'll go back- to what youwere."
He guessed that she meant, "You'll beas arrestingly handsome as ever!" Buthe did not know that the new house-parlourmaid and convert to optimismwas affirming, "What I will, that I can.I draw to myself I wish."
The golden hours for Pat, though theywere more variegated than for Pedro,passed almost as slowly. When, when,would this motor excursion be over, andthe bathe 'with a' shoal of enormousyoung Tritons, and this bask in the sunand this "elevens" of biscuits and choco-late. and this lunch at the hostelry?
At long Inst the party returned toPinclands. Rupert, Unity and youngMr. Fitzroy were still absent.
"Quite likely young Fitzroy has takenRupert and Unity off somewhere for ajoy-flight," suggested the colonel, "inhis aeroplane?"
"It is only a two-seater," said theSwede caled Karl.
"Ah, then, no doubt our young pilotis off back to friends at Heston, whileRupert and Unity have forgotten timeand lunch and everything else," com-mented Mrs. Rawley—and was againbaffled by her niece's wide, untroubledsmile. Oh, but Pat couldn't care! Pathad heen swept away by vivid, inter-vening history.
"Privately, Charles, I'm hoping—as amatter of fact I'm pretty sure thatPatricia's fate will be the one who said,'Please call me Karl.'"
Mr. Karl Moller, handsome uncle offive handsome nephews, was very obvi-ously the head of his family and themost reliable of the party. It was hewho made arrangementshe who wasresponsible for those bank referencesand for that providential payment inadvance; lie, too, who sat by Pat, driv-ing: and to him Pat seemed to havemost to say.
"Just the husband for a happy-go-lucky hoyden with so much against her—Too old? What d'you mean, Charles?The man isn't forty. Exactly right.He'll supply balance."
"Bank balance?""Every kind. I'm not mercenary—"
poor soul, she was not, but the last fiveyears had driven her into thinking interms that had been foreign to her."But I must say I am looking forwardto announcing it, and everybody willknow how well we've done for our poordear, difficult, blundering, beautiful,feather-headed ' family-disgrace.'"
CHAPTER XXXI.Guests of Honour.
"But where is Patricia?"
"Miss Pat; where is she?"The party with which Pat had re-
turned, shortly after lunch, had been 011the tennis courts for half an hour. Pathad disappeared. The serious thing wasthat Pat had disappeared alone; notwith any chosen Viking.
Here were all six Scandinavians; fourof them stretching their endless white-clad length out in deck chairs iu theshade of the elms above the court, andwatching the remaining two at the mostvigorous game of singles ever played atPinclands; a fight to a finish it was be-tween Mr. Karl Moller and his nephewAnders.
No Pat to watch them.No Pat to be run to earth by any of
them, in lime-walk, gardens or grounds.Xo Pat to be found in her bedroom, norall over the house. Willis had not seenher, madam, since Miss Roberts took thecar round to the garage. The newhouse-parlourmaid hadn't soon or hoarda' thing of her. Pat had just vanishedaway 011 the warm breeze; melted, likeone of those puff-ball clouds, from offtlio blue horizon!
"Charles, this is catastropic," camethe wifely aside. "You see what's hap-pened? Young Fitzroy having gone offin his machine, very sensibly, to leaveRupert and Unity Paston to themselves.Pat, poor dear, in her densoness, hasgone to find those two practically en-gaged people, and will stick -to them andruin their whole afternoon!"
"Not too good," commented ColonelRawley. "Still, don't go to meet trouble,Mary. Might turn out to be somethingquite different—Hullo! Whose car's com-ing up the drive now?"
It was a glossy, saloon they did notknow, driven by a chauffeur they didnot know, and it was full of ladies—Ah! These Mrs. Rawley did know.
"The Gyarls? Tlicy never said a wordabout coming! The Gyarls have drivendown!"
Yes, here were her sisters; Victoria,Beatrice, Maud and Alice; all exces-sively Stone-Steadwcll and Light ofother days, and attired in unforgivinglong coats, fussy neckwear, and hatswhich made them as accurately late-Victorian as though fading ghosts oftheir younger selves had stepped out ofthe car, on to the gravel sweep beforethe old house, and were forming a body-guard to the owner of the car—a ladyalso (but something more imposingly)attired in the mode of two reigns ago.
"The Duchess?" exclaimed Mrs. Raw-ley.
She hastened forward to greet thisparty—for whom, as Pedro" would say,ouj present civilisation would seem tohave been evolved in vain".
Blandly the Duchess advanced out ofthe nineteenth century, smiling charm-ingly in answer to greetings and intro-ductions.
"How did do, how did do. I heardthat my great-niece, Unity Paston, wasto be with you for the week-end. Suchperfect weather! I thought I must takeadvantage of it to make a little expedi-tion, and have a peep at your charmingElizabethan house I've heard so muchabout.
"And so I asked your sisters to drivewith me. Not at all! So pleasant forme! What a fascinating place; delight-fully it stands out against the woods!"Through her lorgnette she swept aglance round; a glance that took in thefront of the house, the blazing flowerbeds, the black and white dogs, theglimpse of tennis court; a glance thatrested with approval on a platoon oflong-limbed white-clad figures that nowmoved up verandah-wards from thelawn. "Who are these?"
Explanations; introductions. "FromSweden ? Ah! I wondered to see somany men at once in one English house-party. Where," asked the Duchess,going off at a tangent, "is my great-niece? Surely I heard she was to bewith you. Did she not arrive?"
"Oh, yes! She flew down here justbefore dinner yesterday."
"Flew?""Was flown. I mean.""Really? Her mother thought Unity
was driving down to Hampshire with herbrother Elwyn?"
"No,* Duchess; her brother didn'tcome. Unity was piloted down by herfriend, young Mr. Percival Arthur Fitz-roy."
"Who is he? I never heard of him,"said the Duchess, settling down into awicker verandah-chair, and acceptingcushions, a fan, a cool drink, and ahassock for those patrician feet. "Butthen, I never heard of half these enter-prising young people Unity calls'blighters' and brings to my house, tell-ing me that not to know them is toargue myself unknown!" She smiledgood-humouredly. "Well, and what hasbecome of them?"
Over that golden afternoon clouds fell."Need they have beans?" asked the girlblankly, who had so trustfully sped tothis ancient trysting place, "before theycan even tell her?"
"Naturally, my dear child. Anydocently honourable man would tell youthat it wasn't fair to a girl."
"In books, they do. But not realpeople, Rupert?"
He nodded, not looking at her, lest heshould break down and laugh; lookingat the swallows, swooping in the blue."Real people, Pat. In fact, any man•who genuinely cared for a girl wouldthink twice about tying her down to thethin time she'd have with him when shemight be having a marvellous time withsome other fellow."
"Rupert! No fellow could give anygirl a marvellous time, except the oneshj wanted to."
"I see what you mean; but that sortof dream scarcely lasts," returned youngGarfield portentously. Shortly, he wasgoing to drop this silly game, but it wasa temptation to see how far ho couldmake this darling innoccnt believe hisragging. "The girl, married to himwoulc soon get over the infatuation.And she would think 'What a fool I wasnot to wait. I ought to have waited.I, with my looks, should sa&>for a decent income.'"
"Rupert! No decent girl would thinkthat." I
"'Think not?""But—My own mother! You know
about her?" Ah, echoes of that twenty-1year-old romance, how they vibrated inthe voice of this lovely daughter ofpoverty and misalliance! "My mothernever thought ot other people she mighthave married! She did everything inthat little house. Only an old •womancame in from the village by the day. Mymother learnt tc cook beautifully. Sheenjoyed covering those chairs, distem-pering the kitchen, doing the garden. Iknow she never thought about beingbetter off. She was far too happy."
"Yes, I know, dear; I know. Ofcourse that's influenced your point ofview. It would. But all that was inRomantic, pre-crisis days. Pre-war,even. Girls know more, they've otherstandards, thej''ve come over all dif-feic-nt—now. Any girl, after a year ofimpecunious romance, Pat, would think'Fool that I was! Chucking up my goldenopportunities. Cooped up for life in thismiserable flat' or 'Pigging it on a ranchin Canada!' or 'Living for the Englishmail on this verandah in Kenya'—"
"You told me, the other night thatKeny~ was so wonderful."
"For a bachelor. Ah, yes. For anunattached, hefty rather coarse-grainedhe-iran of my elementary tastes. Butit's no place for an attractive girl whohadn't been given the chance of her flingir. London first. A civilised modern girlcan't be expected to live on a spot ofsoenery and big game and African moon-flowers, as I did tell you, the othernight."
Rupert hadn't told her that I He hadnever told her that! On the contrary(Pat silently protested while clouds everblacker gathered over her gclden after-noon), the other night he had seemedto insisi that that was the life.
Rupert began again complacently, "Sowhen I hear of any fellow out thereengaged to a girl at home that he can'tmarry for years and years, I always say'How absolutely criminal.' . . On theother hand, when I hear that the mar-riage is to comc off at once, without anyengagement at all, I say—"

MOTOR VEHICLE PARTS
CONTROL OF IMPORTATION.
POWERS FOR MINISTER.
(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)
WELLINGTON, this day.Power to fix conditions in connection
with the importation into New Zealandof unassembled parts of motor vehiclesis given the Minister of Customs inamending legislation submitted to theHouse of Representatives last night.The Minister is authorised, by way ofGazette notice, to determine the goodswhich may be entered under the revisedtariff as motor vehicles unassembled orcompletely knocked down, and similarlyto determine conditions under whichthese goods are to be imported and thepurpose for which they arc to be used.
A fine of £100, or three times thevalue of the goods—which ever is thegreater—is the penalty prescribed forthose who enter goods not entitled to beso entered, or who use them otherwisethan in accordance with the determina-tion of the Minister.
Official Explanation.As an explanation of the provision,
Mr. Coates read to the House the follow-ing memorandum: "It is necessary thatthe list of goods which are to beadmitted as unassembled or completelyknocked down motor vehicles should bepublished for the information of thegeneral public. It is considered thatin the initial stages it will not beadvisable, as a condition of admission ofgoods at the lower rate, to insist uponthe maximum amount of assembly workthat could possibly be performed here.The policy should rather be to insist atthe commencement upon the minimumof work which must be carried on inthe Dominion, and by degrees to modifythe definition of 'unassembled' or 'com-pletely knocked down* cars, so that anincreasing amount of local labour andmaterials may be utilised in NewZealand. In these circumstances, it isobvious it is not possible to set out alist of goods in the Act, and it is there-fore necessary that authority should beconferred on the Minister to determinefrom time to time the goods which maybe entered as unassembled or completelyknocked down motor vehicles.
"The experience of the administrationin dealing with this matter has beenhitherto limited to cases in which thesame rate of duty applied, both to thecomplete vehicle and to the unassembledparts. Now that the rates are different,and as the conditions under which theseparts will be imported and the purposesfor which they may be used are not fullyknown, it is necessary to take.power toensure that the intention the pro-posals is carried out."

Provision was made for thisincrease when the present plant wasinstalled.
PLAN APPROVED.
a CINTRA " SUBDIVISION.
A plan of a proposed subdivision ofthe property known as "Cintra," inSymonds Street, was submitted to theCity Council last night for approval.The proposal is to subdivide it irtto 17lots by means of a 40ft road parallel toSymonds Street, running south from theangle in Whitaker Place, provision beingmade to widen Whitaker Place.
'The city engineer, Mr. Jas. Tyler, re-ported that the subdivision in generalwas in order, and recommended the planbe approved, subject to provision beingmade for satisfactory sewer drainageand an extension of the road throughtwo of the lots.
The council approved the plan.
WHEAT AND FLOUR.
ABOLITION OF DUTY.
MR. WILKINSON'S PROPOSALI/ABOTTR PARTY OPPOSED.
(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)WELLINGTON", this day.
"Wheat" was the word which fell fromthe mouths of practically every one ofthe 20 members of the House of Repre-sentatives who took part in the preli-minary discussion on the committeestage of the Customs Bill.
There was obviously a large majorityin favour of the retention of the slidingscale of duties, but nevertheless Mr. C.A. Wilkinson (Ind., Egmont) circulatedamendments which he proposed to movelater. These have been arranged inalternative form, one providing for thecomplete abolition of duties on wheatand flour, and the other to provide aBritish preferential duty of 2/1 per coi-tal and 2/11 per cental foreign, while onBritish flour he proposes a duty of £210/ per ton of 20001b, and on foreignflour £3 10/.
Mr. Wilkinson has also another fouramendments designed to make the im-port of British furs free, British china-ware and cements free, British knivesfree, and proposes free entry of sugarused for feeding bees, whatever thesource.
Canterbury members stoutly defendedthe wheat duties, and they were backedup by members of the Labour party,who took the view that protection forthe wheat grower should be provided,and that any fault concerning the priceof bread should be attributed to inter-mediary processes.

CHRISTCHURCH, Thursday.For a breach of the Licensing Act,
arising out of the bottling of draughtbeer, Matthew Kelly, licensee of theOxford Hotel, Colombo Street, was finedthe minimum of £20 to-day. Kellypleaded guilty to a charge that, havingin his possession bottles with labelsaffixed, he used such bottles to bottleliquor. The Crown Prosecutor said asergeant and a constable visited thehotel for the purpose of taking samplesof liq"uor. Under the counter of theprivate bar they found 12 bottles, 10 ofwhich had Ward and Company's labels,but none had proper caps. In reply tothe sergeant's question as to why thebottles had the wrong caps, Kelly saidhe had bottled Ward's draught beer inthem. Ho also said he did not know hewas committing a breach of the Licens-ing Act.
Counsel said he was going to a,sk forleniency, but lie understood the minimumfine was £20.
"It is a serious offence under theLicensing Act, but I suppose it is a signof the times," said Mr. E. D. Moslev,S.M.
Counsel said he had been assured thatthe beer was taken from a Ward's keg.The police added that Kelly said he hadnot sold any of the beer. It was inthe natuie of an experiment.
DOCTORS WANTED.
WORK AT HOSPITALS.
AN ANOMALOUS POSITION.
, (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
HAMILTON,. Thursday.An anomalous position concerning the
supply of doctors in New Zealand wasreferred to by Mr. J. Banks (Rotorua)at a meeting of the Waikato HospitalBoard this morning.
Mr. Banks pointed out that studentswere not being accepted for the medicalschool at Dunedin because the authori-ties claimed there were too manytrained doctors in New Zealand for thework available. On the other hand, hesaid, hospital boards were finding itdifficult to secure the services of doc-tors and for OS positions offered recentlyonly 30 applications had been forth-coning.
The chairman, Mr. J. Ryburn, saidthere was no doubt the board had haddifficulty in obtaining doctors. At thepresent time one was needed for theWaikato Hospital and another for theRotorua Hospital.
The board decided to appoint a full-time house surgeon to the Rotorua Hos-pital at a salary of £225 per annum andaccommodation.
