MARKETS AT A GLANCE
BUSINESS IMPROVESAUSTRALIAN CURRANT CROP
SHORT.
JUNE DELIVERIES COMMENCE THISWEEK.
"Auckland Star" Office,Tuesday, May 19.
Wholesale grocery merchants opened upto better business yesterday and countryrequirements are decidedly heavier, andas the week progresses, further improve-ments in trade are anticipated.
General News.Merchants have advised the retail trade
that they are commencing deliveries forJune account on Thursday next, the 21stinst., to all towns served by rail or servicewagons. Town deliveries will commencethe following Monday. Business for thisdelivery is expected to give a big lift tomerchants' returns, and already variousdepartments are busy with the ordersreceived.
Increased activity has been noticedamong merchants during the past few daysowing to the arrival of the Xarbada lastweek with Eastern goods. A large pro-portion of the consignments received werebooked for delivery ex ship, and dispatchdepartments have been busy accordingly.
It is very evident from the quantity ofpeanut kernels that came to hand by thisvessel that the supplies landed will betotally insufficient to cover storekeepers'requirements over the next month or two.As the market is firm and supplies diffi-cult to obtain, indications are pointing tohigher prices prevailing when the nextparcel arrives.
Seasonable lines to hand during theweek include walnut pieces and walnuthalves, both lines opening up in excellent;quality, tinned prunes, lentils, Rangoonrice, canned fruits, etc.. etc.
Of interest to household gardeners is anattractive packing now being marketedby retail stores of garden manure in 71bpackets at 1/11 per packet retail.A new line of health biscuits of the
non-fattening type is being offeredthroughout the trade this week to retailat 1/1 per %lb packet.
The calving season which is now begin-ning is being reflected in the demand bythe farming community for drenches, etc!,and in view of the firming tendency inthe primary products markets, a goodseason for this type of line is anticipated.
A line of fish and meat pastes to retailat 3d for a J%oz tin is being introducedthis week, and in view of the quality andthe handy packing, a good demand isexpected.
Local manufacturers have announced areduction of 2/ per gross for 2%0z and 3/6per gross for 4oz size toilet soap. A newline of English manufactured toilet soap isbeing offered to arrive early next monthas prices slightly lower than local. Aconsiderable quantity has been sold toarrive.
' Arrivals from overseas markets besides> those already mentioned are: Proprietary
I brand carton soaps, haricot beans, Indian� split lentils. ABTN shellac, Chinese pen-i nuts in shell. tobacco, salmon, medicinalointments and pills, chewing gum, prunes,sauces, capers, canned apricots, Ceylontea, ground rice, macaroni and vermicelli,etc., etc.
' Australian Currants.; Advices received from the Australian
Dried Fruit Control Board indicate thatthe currant crop is likely to be very shorti this season, and business on two andthree-crown grades is now only beingaccepted subject to pack being available.
; As far as is known at present, there are: no restrictions regarding booking on one-
, crown grade and a certain amount of small, business is going on in this direction. It
; was mentioned early in the year that theshipments of the new season's crop werebeing discussed and that owing to badweather, etc., the supply likely to beavailable would be short by approximately12,000 tons.
Resin.The American market for resin has
steadied up a little in last cablet? received,G grade now being quoted at 1/ per tonlower, with N grade offered at 2/ per tonadvance.
Turpentine.Prices for pine tree turpentine in last
cables received are very firm, quotationsshowing an increase of 'Ad per gallonon previous rates.
Eastern Steamer.The Narbada arrived at this port last
week carrying the usual quantity ofStraits Settlements and Eastern produce.The main items of interest in the consign-ments forwarded were 10,782 bags ofRangoon riee, 3463 cases of pineapples,263 sacks of white pepper, and 1577 bagsof sago and tapioca, all for Auckland dis-tribution.
Pineapples.The market for pineapples is a little
firmer, with an advance of %d per dozenbeing noted on first quality VA\b cubes,l%lb slices flats, and 21b 'slices. Mailadvices received state that fruit suppliesreceived during the month were smallerthan anticipated, with the result thatthe market has steadied. The sale ofsummer crop will probably be from to-wards the end of May to the third orfourth week in June, when it is antici-pated that the market will touch bottom.
Pepper.Pepper quotations remain fairly steady,
the only alteration last week being a re-duction of l-16th on Muntok white.Mail reports to hand advise that thepepper market continues dull, and thereis nothing of interest to report. Themain crop is not expected to arrive tillJune, but it is felt that with currentprices at present low, they are unlikelyto decline to any considerable extent.
Nutmegs and Mace.Nutmegs in last cables received are
fairly steady witli Ysd per lb reductionbeing noted on 110's, and %d per. lbreduction being noted on broken grades.Mace, on the other hand, continues firm,with an advance of Yid per lb beingnoted, making quotations in this commod-ity at a very high level. In mail returnsto hand shippers advise that the marketfor nutmegs now continues steady, butthe tone is a little easier for the momenton account of the supply position. '
Califomlan Prunes.Agents advise that mail information re-
ceived from San Francisco regardingprunes indicates that the prune crop of1936 is in a very critical stage at themoment. Growers are predicting a verylight crop, but it is still too early tomake any definite estimate other thanthat the crop is considerably less thanwas expected.
Californian Raisins.Stocks of Californian raisins are
ing limited, with a very active demand,sustaining the recent advances. Growersare indicating a light crop for the comingseason, and are endeavouring to formulatea scheme of price control for 1936 crop.Under these circumstances considerableinterest is being taken in Australiansultanas.
Alaskan Salmon.Lata cables received advise that slightly
lower prices are named _ for small stocksof Alaskan salmon which are availablefor prompt shipment.
Dates.Fancy pack Sair dates for October-
November direct steamer are quoted atan advance of 2/ per cwt above ordinarygrade. This represents an advance of 1/per cwt over last season's prices forspecial quality.
Pilchards.Quotations for new season's pilchards
have been named for spread shipment,with shipment commencing early in July.The quotations named are considered to
be quite favourable, and represent a declineof approximately 10 per cent in the c.i.f.rate.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
POLLARD STILL DEAR.
A feature of the local produce marketsis the scarcity and high price of pollard,which is dearer than it has been for manyyears. Supplies are available from tiielocal mills, but only in limited quantities,and these are severely rationed. Southernmills have none to spare, which throwsthe buik of the demand oil Australia,where the market is very firm. Merchants
I report that supplies arc available, but thatI prices are steadily moving upwards, andtheir quotation at present for deliverythrough store is £9 12/6 per ton. There|is an improved demand for bran, with
( ample supplies available from the localmills.
There is no change in B Garton oats,which sell at 4/ per bushel. Spot stocksof chaff have been extremely short, butthe Waipiata brought a quantity fromPicton which eased the position.
There is a good demand for fowl wheat,with no change in prices.
The market for maize is well suppliedwith South African and Java shipments.Small samples of new season's Bay ofPlenty have reachcd the city, but thegrain is immature and the quantities toosmall to make a market.
Barley is unchanged, but the price hasadvanced in Australia, which may affectthe local position later in the season.
The position in regard to potatoes hasimproved, as substantial quantities havecome forward from Canterbury. Thequality is better, this being partly dueto the speedier transit that lias beenavailable from Lyttelton.
Onions are in plentiful supply fromPukekohe and are quoted at 7/ per cwt,but it is expected that the price willappreciate before long when storage andpicking over charges are added.

GISBORNE GAS.
SATISFACTORY RESULTS.
Earnings of the Gisborne Gas Company,Limited, tor the year ended March 31,were £1120, against £2086 in the previousyear. The result is considered satisfac-tory, in view of the expenditure incurredin the return to shareholders of £9925preference capital and m other non-recurring items. Sales for the year showeda substantial improvement, in additionto the usual depreciation allowance, £ 1020is appropriated from profits for obsoleteplant. The directors recommend that thesame dividend be paid as last year, 3d ashare, or 2Vs per cent.
KAURI GUM.
j LARGER QUANTITIES HANDLED.
| . HIGHER PRICES OBTAINED.
j There are two distinctly striking fea-tures in the movements of kauri gumduring the month of April: the export of
200 tons was greater than during thecorresponding month of last year, for thefirst time this year, and the 346 tons sentinto the city from the fields constituteda record for four years, being a largeramount than in any month since Aprilof 1932, when 405 tons came to hand.Furthermore, although the L nited Statestook a smaller proportion of the totalthan the United States and Canada tookin March, or than the former alone tookin February, the total average value ex-
i ported is higher than in any month thisI year, being £32 4/6, as against the pre-| vious record of £29 14/ in February.| Fortunately the better average can be| fairly attributed to the larger proportion
| of higher grade gums included in recent| shipments, and to a pronounced advance
' that has taken place in certain gradesj during the month, on account of their
j comparative scarcity. In most cases, how-i ever, the higher prices asked are restrict-I ing trade, l'ossibly the greatest percen-tage advance was registered in seven-
| eighths scraped black gum, as this hasproved a popular selling line for sometime past. Gains in price were alsoapparent in Bl and B2 grades, but thesewere more moderate. Inquiries were re-ceived for fair quantities of nubs andB3 gum, but sales of these grades wererestricted on account of higher limitsasked. Good clean chips, testing SO percent gum content, were saleable immedi-ately on arrival at slightly better rates,but most lines now arriving are noticeablyinferior in quality.
Altogether the producers are now facedwith a better inquiry all round for gum,and it is hoped that the better priceswill again attract diggers to the fields, asthe industry is seriously threatened witha shortage of supplies, particularly of thebetter grades. Prospects certainly lookbetter, provided that diggers' return tothe fields, or remain there in sufficientnumbers to maintain a reasonable supplyof the well graded lines of gum.
Very little white gum is being receivedin the city, and seven-eighths white andreucraped white are very firm. Consider-ably better prices are also being offeredfor three-quarter scraped range white.White chips and nuts are very firm, withonly small quantities offering.
The 200 tons exported during Aprilfound a much narrower market thanusual, the following table showing thedestination, the total value to eachmarket, and the average value per ton:—

Cost is Smalland the saving greatl
WHY does administration by the Guardian Trust cost lessthan that of a private trustee?" asked a business man
recently.There are many ways In which the Guardian Trust effectssavings for an estate. For instance, our fees are defined byLaw, are known in advance, and are considerably less thanthose allowed to a private trustee. Risk of loss through illness,absence abroad, or the interference of the private individual'sown business with the affairs of the estate is entirely eliminated.Again, when a private trustee dies, as is inevitable, the estateis burdened with the expense of transfer to a new trustee whomay be a stranger to the beneficiaries and unacquainted withthe intricacies of the estate.The Guardian Trust Is permanent and not subject to the con-tingencies that beset the individual, and is held accountable bylaw for all its acts. Due to abundant financial resources, theGuardian Trust is abie to give a bond to the Stamp DutiesDepartment for death duty atno additional cost, whereas a r^^..i-

VALUABLE GIFTS.OLD N.Z. PAPERS.
I
UNIVERSITY BENEFITS.
DONATION FROM ANGLICANS^
A valuable collection of old Xe-.vZealand and British official papersrelating to tlie early history of thecolony has been made to the AucklandUniversity College by the General TrustBoard of the Diocese of Auckland. Theyformed part of the library of the lateArchdeacon Henry Williams and the lateHugh Carlton, of Paknraka. On themotion of Mr. T. U. Wells, the chairmanof the college council, which met yes-terday, the thanks of the council are tobo expressed to the diocese.
A letter expressing deep appreciationof the gift was received b}' the councilfrom the professor of history, ProfessorJames Rutherford. The papers, theletter said, were obtained through thegood offices of Archdeacon W. J. Sim-kin. They included, inter alia, a largenumber of British ParliamentaryPapers 011 New Zealand Affairs between1845 and 18G5, some very early papersof the '40's, a large collection of Par-liamentary Journals, Votes and Proceed-ings, appendices to the Journals anlother similar papers. Complete sets ofpapers were not at present available inthe college library or the city library,and as the material was quite indis-pensable to good historical research workou New Zealand the acquisition was ofvery great importance—the more so asit was unlikely that the collegecould contemplate the purchase of suchmaterial in the near future.
Members of the council echoed Pro-fessor Rutherford's appreciation and thechairman added that it was gratifyingto seo such an important body as thadiocese interested.
The resolution of the diocese convey-ing the gift read:—
"The board desires that these papersbe handed over to the University Collegewith a request that such duplicates asthere may be timongst them which thecity librarian would like to have shallbe handed to him. The board alsoagreed that other duplicates might lieused for purposes of exchange with otheruniversities for papers which would helpto make more complete those copies keptat the universities. The board desiresto make one stipulation, namely, thatofficials of the diocese or clergy desiringto do so may have access to those papersfor reference on making application tothe university authorities."

FOSTERING DRAMA.
WORK AT UNIVERSITY.
COUNCIL GRANT OF £100.
MOVE BY PROFESSOB, SEWELL,
On the recommendation of the financecommittee, the Auckland University Col-lege Council yesterday made a grant of,-CIOO for additions to the stage in the
college hall to make it suitable for thepresentation of plays. The sum is to berepaid out of any profits that mightaccrue.
Professor W. A. Sewell, professor ofEnglish at the college, who was respon-sible for the request, explained subse-quently that his intention was to pre-sent in August the play "Macbeth,"which was set down for study as partof this year's English course. Thiswas to be the first of a series of annualproductions of the play set as part ofthe English syllabus. The professorexplained that the improved stage wasto be at the disposal of the college clubs,and lie hoped that it would lead to agrowth of interest in the college illdrama proper.
The main fault of the stage as it isat present, it was stated, is that it istoo small. It is to be enlarged, whileadequate screening and lighting facili-ties are to bo provided.
The Chairman, Mr. T. U. Wells: Itseems quite a reasonable tiling.
"If the finance committee has goneinto it and approved it, I am preparedto move the adoption of the recommen-dation," added the Hon. A. Burns,M.L.C.
JUDGE TO DECIDE.
CLAIM FOR DAMAGES,
EFFECT OF JURY'S VERDICT.
Another instance of a jury's judgmenthaving to be interpreted by the judge ,was provided in the Supreme Court yes-terday evening at the conclusion of thehearing of the claim for damagesbrought by Valentine Dunne (Mr. Bone),superintendent of mails at Auckland,against Winstone, Limited (Mr. Holm-den). Plaintiff claimed damages total-ling £888, of which £750 were generaldamages, in consequence of injuries tohis leg received in a collision between abicycle he was riding and one of thedefendant's motor lorries. The accidenthappened at the intersection .of QuayStreet and Britomart Place. The actionwas heard before Air. Justice Callan anda jury.
His Honor told the jury that in orderto find for plaintiff the evidence mustsatisfy them that the negligence caus-ing the damage was that of Ryan, andthat if there had been negligence onDunne's part it was not an • effectivefactor.
The jury found that Ryan had beennegligent in failing to give way totraffic on lijs right and in failing tostop, and that Dunne had been negli-gent in slackening speed in sucli a way ias to lead Ryan to believe that he didnot intend to cross until after the lorry,and that Ryan had the last opportunityof avoiding the accident. It awarded£250 general damages, the special idamages to be agreed upon between the '
parties. iMr. Bone moved for judgment for
plaintiff and Mr. Holmden for judgmentfor defendant. Legal argument Wasdeferred uhtil Friday. j
BIRD LIFE OBSERVED.
TARARUA RANGES REPORT.
BUSH DAMAGED BY CYCLONE.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, this day.Reporting oil investigations made in
the Tararua Ranges on the prevalenceof native birds, the ranger for the Wel-lington Acclimatisation Society statedthat native pigeons had increased innumbers and were plentiful on bothsides of the ranges.
More kaka had been seen and heardthis year than for some considerabletime, he said. No parakeets had beenseen, but it was reported that a fewstill frequent the eastern side of theranges about Masterton. Rifleman wrens,whiteheads, grey warblers, pied tits andwhite eyes were frequently to be seen,and beautiful little fantails seemed tobe everywhere. Tuis were very elusive.Sometimes they were not seen for longperiods, and would then suddenly appearin dozens. Bell birds were seen andheard in most places, and were plentiful.
Destruction of native bush by thecyclone in the North Island on Febru-ary 2, in some places, the rangerreported, had been terrific. It wascertain that no other visitation of thatnature had happened for a great numberof years. Looking down from very highcountry, the impression was given thathigh explosives had been showered down,as the damage was in patches. In someplaces where large trees had sufficientroot-hold to resist being uprooted, theyhad been broken off, perhaps 30ft fromthe ground.
NEW UNION FORMED.

"CUT RATES."TOURIST TRANSPORT.
I 'I
| SIX CRUISE SHIPS DUE.
REDUCTIONS SANCTIONED,i ________
J A decision to permit road motor com-panies and taxi-car companies to carryout at "cut rates" special tours thatmight be approved from time to time,by the "proper licensing authority wasmade at this morning's meeting of theCentral Licensing Authority.
Mr. J. W. Clarke, Auckland district• manager of the Government Tourist
Bureau, asked that companies engaged, to carry cruise ship passengers be ex-
empted from the standard fares fixed bythe regulations. These'tourists did notbelong to the "luxury class," and, as thetours were of short duration and coveredlong distances, and did not compete withprivate tours, reduced fares were desir-able for the officially organised trips.Arrangements had been made for sixcruise*liners to visit New Zealand.
Representatives of all the motor com-panies concerned were present, and allsupported the request. The chairman,Mr. J. A. C. Allum, announced that thenecessary additional clause would beembodied in the regulations. The faresfrom Auckland to any point within theDominion for tourists from cruise ships
| are, in effect, reduced to about two-I pence a mile a passenger. It was also' decided that children under three yearsof age be carried free, ad those under
i 12 years at half rates. About tenapplications for tours throughout theNorth Island for visitors arriving oncruise ships were received. Mr. Allumremarked that it was gratifying to seesuch an increasing volume of touristtraffic.
The first cruise ship, the Orion, is dueabout October 28, and, it is expected,will have about 1000 tourists. The linersStrathnaver, Orford, Narkunda andOronsay will follow at monthly inter-vals, and there will be a sixth steamer
|in March. Of these vessels the Orion,Orford and Narkunda will be makingtheir first visit to New Zealand.
1 A tour of North Auckland has beenarranged for the GOO passengers expectedon the Xarkunda. The ship will arriveat Auckland on January 2, and the tour-ists will leave the following evening forNorth Auckland, and will embark on theNarkunda at Russell on the night ofJanuary 4. This will be the first orga-nised tour to North Auckland of cruiseship passengers.
FUNDS NEEDED.
ACTIVITIES OF THE S.P.W.C.
ANNUAL MEETING HELD.
The annual meeting of the New Zea-land Society for the Protection ofWomen and Children was held last nightwith a large attendance of members,Mr. W. A. Bishop, chairman of the com-mittee, presiding.
1 Letters of apology were received fromthe president, Mr. Ernest Davis, andthe Hon. W. E. Parry, who congratu-lated the society on its work and wishedit success in the future.
i Mr. Bishop said that it gave himgreat pleasure to welcome those present,both those who had been members formany years and had worked so enthusi-astically and the newer members. Ifthe society was to do the work it wouldlike to do. and what it was expected todo. it must have new members. Thechairman expressed a special welcometo Bishop J. M. Liston and representa-tives of more than a dozen organisa-tions which had interests kindred tothat of the society.
The report of the honorary treasurer, |Mr. D. Donaldson, stated that the work jof the society was quite unique, because iit entered a sphere where numerousother organisations did not. The finan-cial statement showed that the societyhad to draw on its reserves to theextent of £150 during the year. It washoped that the Government would renewthe annual grant. Increased interest inthe society's work had been stimulatedand 165 new members enrolled. Never-theless the society urgently neededincreased revenue to cope successfullywith the demands made upon it, andit appealed to all sympathisers forassistance.
Votes of thanks were passed to theladies' committee and the various execu-tive officers.
It was decided to elect as a life mem-ber Mr. R. E. N. Matthews, who hasbeen honorary solicitor to the societyfor 14 years.
The annual street collection for fundswas fixed for Friday. May 29.

UNEMPLOYMENT TAX.
| PAYMENTS BY WAGE-EARNERSFARMERS' UNION COMPLAINT.
A matter which is liltely to give rise toconsiderable discussion at the AucklandProvincial Conference of the New Zea-land Farmers' Union next week is thepayment of unemployment tax by theordinary worker on wages as comparedwith the professional man or interestrecipient.
For a .long time the union has con-sidered that the wage-earner has beentreated unfairly in that no allowance ismade for any loss he may incur in anyother business in which he may be
' interested. Many men whose farms arei not paying have taken other work and
jleft their wives and families to carry onthe farm, the earnings of the husbandcontributing to the upkeep of the farm.Bankers, lawyers, doctors, merchants andothers who may have farms are allowedto set off losses in one of their activitiesagainst gains in another, payingannually only on their net earnings, butthe ordinary wage-earner pays his unem-ployment tax weekly and cannot set offlosses against his earnings.
AIR MAIL TO-MORROW.
Besides an Australian mail, an Empireair mail, dispatched from London onMay 3, will arrive in Auckland by theWanganella to-morrow morning fromSydney. The vessel carries 591 bagsof mail, the supply for Auckland con-sisting of 100 bags of ordinary mailand 44 bags of parcels.

to England and distributed among wellknown spas, as the result of a requestby the High Commissioned, Sir JamesParr, to the Minister in charge of theTourist and Publicity Departments, theHon. F. Langstone, following on theincreased interest in British medicalcircles in the use of mineral impregnatedmuds in the treatment of certaindiseases.
"It is understood that considerableinterest in the possibilities of Rotoruamud has been aroused through publicitygiven to curative treatments availableat spas." said Mr. Langstone in aninterview to-day. "Most of the mudused in Britain comes from Continentalsources, and is very expensive to pur-chase and to transport to the spas. Ithas now been arranged to send a sampleshipment of a ton of Rotorua mud, whichwill be distributed to such well know:;spas as Harrogate, Droitwich and Bath.Advantage will be taken of the presenceat Home oi Dr. B. G. Thompson, theNew Zetland representative on theBritish Spas Federation, to oversee thetests. Both Dr. Thompson, who is agraduate of Otago University, and Dr.Duncan, the Government baineologistat Rotorua, are strongly of opinion thatRotorua mud will be found most bene-ficial, and as supplies are practicallyinexhaustible it is possible that a con-siderable export trade of .a lucrativenature may be established.

CONFLICT IN PALESTINE.
For the cause that lacks assistance,For the icrong that needs resistanceFor the future in the distance,And the good that tee can do.
The recurrence of conflict between Arabsand Jews ill Palestine again draws attentionto Britain's difficulty of administering themandate while at the same time fostering theestablishment of "a national home for theJewish people." Although the BalfourDeclaration of 1917 specified that nothingshould be done that might prejudice the civiland religious rights of existing non-Jewishcommunities in Palestine, it was inevitablethat an influx of Jews into a countrypredominantly Arab would create an economicdisturbance that would be reflected in politicalaction. Jewish immigrants since 1920 havenumbered about 200,000, of whom 30,000arrived in 1933, and 40,000 in , 1934. TheArabs have demanded that the rate of theinward flow be reduced, but the Governmentis expected to approve of a rate of 4000 amonth, which is greater than that of recentyears.
Ever since the British Government tookover the administration of Palestine it hasintended to set up a Legislative Council, uponwhich Arabs and Jews should have representa-tion. The present High Commissioner lastyear proposed that the Council have 28members, of whom 14 would be Arabs, sevenJews and the rest British. This proposal wasrejected by the Jews, who, though the Councilwas to be merely an advisory body, fearedArab domination. The Arabs themselves weredivided, some leaders advocating acceptanceof the proposal, and others, including an
extreme nationalist section, opposing it. Thenationalists aim to oust both British and Jewsfrom the country and to establish a purelyArab Government. ,
As often happens when the population ofa country is largely illiterate, there is amongthe Arabs an educated minority which alone isarticulate, and purports to speak for all. Thiseducated class desires above all to retain itspolitical ascendancy and its economic privi-leges. It is hostile to progressive reforms, andit is especially hostile to the Jewishcolonisation, which has been organised and isbeing carried on with vision and energy. TheHigh Commissioner, who, under the BritishGovernment, is the supreme authority, has theexceedingly delicate task of holding thebalance between a numerical majority ofArabs, whose spokesmen are not representa-tive, but whose rights cannot be denied, anda progressive minority of Jews, who areanxious to live in peace but who inevitablyare seen by the Arab leaders as economiccompetitors. The summoning of troops fromEgypt is an indication that the. situation hasbecome acutely dangerous, and that thedeclared policy of the British Government,although in the course of years it may proveto be wise, can during the transitional periodbe carried out only by repressive force.
SPREADING OUT.
If all the plans that have been proposedfor expansion of the Auckland UniversityCollege are put in hand, the whole course maybecome so attenuated as to weaken the generalachievement and usefulness of. the institution.Two suggestions have been made in the lastfew days for extension of activities, one a
department of local body administration, theother a lectureship, soon no doubt to graduateinto a chair, of geography. In addition,inquiries are proposed for a site for futureextension, apart from expenditure on thecontemplated arts block on the old GrammarSchool site. These suggestions must all be con-sidered in the light of the fact that the collegerevenue is insufficient for its existing acti-vities. New Zealand's contour makes onecomplete university an impossibility, and itcannot be hoped that any of the four citiescan provide facilities as great as those offeredby the English seats of learning or by Sydneyor Melbourne. There must be some specialisa-tion in New Zealand, and some limitation onthe courses offered, otherwise the moneyavailable in a community of this size willbe spread so thinly that general efficiency willbe impaired. By keeping its courses withinreasonable bounds the Auckland UniversityCollege will increase its efficiency as an
educational unit.
THE LIBRARY RATE.
A better course than that adopted by theAuckland City Council in putting forward its
request for the raising of the limit on the
library rate would have been to seek, fiistlj,the support of other municipal bodies. Thisis a matter which concerns every inunicipacouncil, and the Government is unlikely torevise the Act unless the change is generally,desired. The question could be taken up witheach borough or city council now, or raised atthe next New Zealand Municipal Conference.If a majority of the councils were in favour,,the Government would doubtless act inaccordance with their wishes. There is goodreason for raising the limit. At the presentrate of a penny some libraries are seriouslyhandicapped and cannot give satisfactoryservice. The supply of new books is belowrequirements, space is cramped, and the upkeepof existing volumes is difficult. Two yearsago the Munn-Barr report recommended thatthe penny in the pound limitation should beeliminated, as in England, or the rate limitadvanced to threepence, as in Scotland, andstrongly condemned the practice of starvinglibraries of funds after they had been estab-lished. It is shown that no other departmentof municipal activity was restricted in thisWay. There is. a strong case for amendment ofthe Act, but the request should be representa-tive of municipal opinion generally.
NEWS OF THE DAY.
Glasgow Leases.Tlie Glasgow leases of 20 properties in
Ponsonbv expire in November, it was reportedto the City Council last night. On therecommendation of the property committee itwas decided to offer the occupiers renewal fora further period of 21 years. The properties,which are owned by the council, arc in Barrie,Hepburn, Picton, Smith and Totara Streets.
Heavy Goods Traffic.The goods traffic that was so heavy on
the Stratford Main. Trunk railway duringFebruary and March for seasonal reasons hasheld up well since, and one special train isbeing run each "way between Stratford andTaumarunui every day but Saturday. Asthere are no signs of any decline in theamount of traffic over the line, the specialmay become a permanent addition to the time-table.
Obsolete Type.Following a request by Mr. IT. Burton, a
member of the City Council, that a floodlightbe provided over the traffic officer stationedat Grafton Bridge, the traflic superintendent,Mr. C. Bland, reported to the council lastevening that the light at present attached tothe centre tram pole appeared to be placedtoo high to bo effective. The reflector was anobsolete type and damaged. On his suggestionthe questions of lowering the lamp and fittinga modern reflector were referred to the cityengineer for consideration.
Automatic Signals.Good progress is being made with the
installation of the new automatic signals atthe entrance to Queen's wharf, Wellington.The contact plates have been sunk in thesurface of the road at various points, and themain task now in hand is that of connectingthe numerous cables necessary for the opera-tion of the system. The magnitude of thework necessary to install the system is sur-prising, but it is anticipated that the results
jwill be most satisfactory.
One Union.The Auckland Electric Power Board re-
ceived a communication from the ElectricPower Boards and Supply Authorities' Asso-ciation of New Zealand yesterday drawingattention to the fact that under the newlegislation all the employees would have to beunder some union. The chairman, Mr. W. J.Holdsworth, said that 10 unions had controlat the present time, and he considered thatthere should be one organisation. A reply hadbeen sent, and they would have to wait andsee. It should be kept in mind and broughtto a head if possible.
A New Insurance Angle.At last evening's meeting of the City
Council Mr. G. G. Grant gave notice of aquestion, that with a view to alleviating thecost of any future by-election, the councilshould consider approaching Lloyds' or otherinsuring authority with regard to entertain-ing a proposal to cover any expenditurethat may bo incurred through the death orresignation of any member of the council.The question was referred to the finance com-mittee: It has been elicited that the cost tothe city of the forthcoming bv-clection issomewhere between £400 and £500.
University College Pending Election.The election of the member of the Auck-
land University College Council representingthe General Assembly in the Auckland Pro-vince is to be held on June 30, according toa report presented by the registrar, Mr. M.R. O'Shea, also returning officer, at the meet-ing of the college council yesterday. Nomina-tions close on May 29. The vacancy would becaused by the expiration of the term of officeof the present representative, Mr. S. IrwinCrookes, who is eligible for re-election. Thegood wishes of the council in the electionwere expressed by the. chairman, Mr. T. U.Wells. "Mr. Crookes has done fine work onthe council," he said.
Modern Youth.It is the custom of many Aucklanders
employed in offices in the city to take a strollalong one of the wharves during the luncTihour. Any fine day will find several hundredworkers promenading among the bales, or sit-ting smoking their pipes in the sunshine andwatching the stevedores at work among thecoastal vessels and harbour lighters. Duringthe finer weather experienced lately threegentlemen were walking along the Queen'swharf on the heels of a couple of youths, whowere offering breezy comments to the worldin general on the glorious sunshine and theway the Waitemata was living up to its nameof "sparkling wafers." The younger gentle-men reached the end of the wharf and stoodfor a moment gazing enraptured across thedancing waves to the North Shore. "Not abad little pond, is she?" said the elder.
The Vacant Chair.On the desk in front of one clmir at the
meeting of members of the Auckland CityCouncil last evening was a wreath of chrysan-themums and violets, the council's token ofrespect to the memory of the late Mr. J. W.Yarnall, who at the time of his death was amember of the council and chairman of thelibrary committee. Immediately the councilsat, the Mayor, Mr. E. Davis, moved that thecouncil place on record its deep regret at thedeath of Mr. Yarnall, appreciation of his ser-vices to the council, and deep sympathy withHis relatives in their sad bereavement. Boththe Mayor and deputy-Mayor, Mr. B. Martin,paid high tribute to the work done by Mr.Yarnall during his association with the coun-cil. The Mayor's motion was carried, themembers standing in silence.
Praise for Traffic Staff.Praise for the superintendent of traffic,
Mr. Cecil Bland, and his staff, for the mannerin which they had carried out their dutiesduring the year was given by members of theAuckland City Council last evening, when theannual report of the department was underconsideration. The Mayor, Mr. Ernest Davis,in tendering his congratulations, said he feltvery proud of the traffic department. Thechairman of the legal and by-laws committee,Mi-r W. T. Anderton, M.P., referred to variousphases of the department's work, and the pro-gress made in bringing the organisation upto date to meet quickly-changing traffic con-ditions. Mr. E. J. Phejan advocated thatcloser attention should be given to motorcyclists, while Sir George Richardson compli-mented the staff on their bearing,, appearanceand courtesy to the public. The report, whichhas already been published, was adopted.
Successful Cure of Rheumatics,Two Napier doctors report the successful
exploitation of modern scientific treatment fordiseases of the bones and joints, such asrheumatism, arthritis and lumbago. Thetreatment adopts the principle that feveris a defensive mechanism of the bodyand is one of the forms that Nature uses tocombat disease. The ,first patient to undergotreatment was Mr. Spalding, of Napier. ~liowas so troubled with rheumatism that lie wasfaced with the prospect of being a cripple forthe.rest of his life. The result of the treat-ment on him is said to be remarkable. Atfirst a helpless cripple, he is now an activeman, able to walk long distances and to ridea bicycle. For some types of rheumatism thetreatment is claimed to be practically 100 percent efficient, while for other types also- it isvery efficient. It is safe and not too un-comfortable. It has a decided tonic effect,and the liyper-pyrexia it' produces in rheuma-toid arthritis is beyond that of any othersingle or combined treatment previously used.The apparatus used in the case of Mr. Spald-ing was one of the infra-red radiation.
B Station Wanted.The Auckland District Council of the'
Douglas Social Credit Movement has decidedto apply for a license to operate a B station,and an application lias been forwarded .to thePostmaster-General, the Hon. F. Jones.
Flying Bark.The trouble caused liy eucalypt trees
was mentioned at the meeting of the Auck-land Electric Power Board yesterday. It wassaid that in a high gale bark was torn off thetrees and carried great distances by the wind.Tn cases where the flying bark fouled powerwires interruptions of the service were causcd.
The Russian "Black Cash Office."The operation of the "black cash office"
in Russian industry was explained to themembers of the Palmerston North RotaryClub in an address by Dr. J. Sahnond, ofDuncdin, who visited Russia in 1931. A fac-tory worker who arrived late, or who gotdrunk, had to collect his pay at the "blackcash office." In that building he had to walkup an aisle lined with figures of world-famousmen who were enemies of the Soviet—and thefigures were all applauding the wrongdoer'smisdeeds. That was termed "social discipline,"but, said the speaker, ho thought that sucha house would soon lie smashed up here. Wewere not as docile as the Russians.
Harbour Board Gift to University.Information that the Auckland Harbour
Board had raised its donation to the Auck-land University College School of Engineeringby another £250 to .-£SOO altogether wasgiven by Mr. S. Irwin Crookes to the collegecouncil yesterday. The donation is subject tothe formal approval of the Minister of Marine.Mr. Crookes said that the first £250 wouldbe available this year, and the balance nextyear. Mr. Crookes has been largely instru-mental in gathering a fairly large sum ofmoney, "which is to form a trust fund for thebenefit of the school of engineering at thecollege. Some time ago there was a real dan-ger that the school would have to be closeddown, but due in a large degree to Mr.Crookes' efforts the trust fund now stands inthe neighbourhood of £8000.„
Library Books in Schools.The fact that the book service to the
pupils of primary schools of the city con-tinued during the past year to meet with theappreciation of scholars, parents and teacherswas referred to in the annual report of thechief librarian, Mr. John Barr, presented tothe City Council last night. The number ofvolumes issued through the schools divisionwas 82,188, compared with 85,847 in the pre-ceding year. The decrease was understand-able with the development of a free lendingservice to boys and girls at the central andbranch libraries, Mr. Barr pointed out. "Ifany citizcn with means is looking for an out-let to spend his surplus he could find no betterway of doing so than by providing the meansof filling the empty shelves of the variousboys' and girls' rooms at the branch libraries,"he also stated.
Labelling of Trees in Park.The Auckland City Council decided last
evening to grant permission to the head-master of the Beresford Street School to labelthe trees in Western Park for the benefit ofschool children in their study of plant life.In reporting on the request the superintendentof parks, Mr. T. Aldridgc, said that a systemof labelling trees and shrubs would sooner orlater have to be adopted. This, however,should be confined to one park, which wouldbe regarded as a botanic garden. He saw 110objection to the Education Board undertakingto label all trees in Western Park for thebenefit of scholars, but did not suggest thatsome contribution towards the cost of label-ling should be made by the council. The sizeand style of label should be subject to hisapproval," and-rthe Education Board shouldagree to the renewing and replacing of labelswhen necessary. The council adopted thesuperintendent's report, and agreed to provideblank wooden labels in the fust instance, theunderstading being that the children them-selves will do the printing.
Danger to Children.The unfinished side of Sturges Park,
Otahuliu, is a. danger to the many childrenwho frequent the park in holiday time, writesa correspondent. One side of the hill has beencut away, leaving a sheer drop of 50ft inplaces and no. protective fence. Children arein the habit of racing to the top of the hilland along the edge of the cutting, and a slipwould probably mean serious injury. A stran-ger taking a short cut across the park atnight is liable, to step over the edge withoutwarning. The withdrawal of No. 5 schemesaw the cessation of work on the park, andthis side is a .blot on the .general appearanceof the ground! Half-formed terraces with abackground of a scoria pit are unpleasing incontrast with the neat terraces of the finishedportion. The Borough Council has hopes ofultimately finishing the ground and erectingup-to-date dressing sheds, but the presentstate of the part which is dangerous shouldbe attended to.
Neat of Moa Bones Found.Important. scientific facts concerning the
moa, New Zealand's giant bird, now extinct,arc expected to bo obtained as the result ofthe discovery of an enormous quantity of moabones on a farm some seven miles out ofWanganui. The deposit is not a new one, andbones have been recovered from it for the past40 years, but not on such a large scale asat present. During the past summer theWanganui Museum trustees have exploitedthe deposit by using mechanical means, andtheir efforts have been so successful that over2000 bones of varying types and size havebeen excavated. The pit in which the boneshave been lying for centuries is what is be-lieved at one time to have been a thermalspring. . It is surmised that when the thermalactivity ceased, the crater of the springbecame covered with a film of vegetation, con-sisting of rushes, sedge and stunted raupo.The theory is that the moas, while feeding,periodically fell through the treacherous crustinto the ooze left by the spring and weretrapped. Owing to the preservative qualitiesof the liquid mud in the pit, the bones ofthese moas have maintained their originalcondition, and the specimens obtained havebeen perfect in every detail.
Coinage and Natural History.That the designs on the reverse sides of
New Zealand's silver coins possess a value inimparting knowledge of our rarer native birdslias been amusingly shown by the experienceof a visitor from California. In the course ofthe Monterey's voyage from San' Francisco liewas quickly introduced to two sots of Britishcoinage, namely; Fijian and Australian. Afterlearning their relative values in United Statesmoney, and getting over the difficulty whichnearly every newcomer experiences with thehalf-crown, ' lie reached Auckland, and wasmuch interested in the tui, as shown on thesixpence, and the kiwi, on the two-shillingpiece. When informed that the tui has asingle, honeyed note "like the chiming of asilver bell,"*he said, "Oh, yeah? That's in abook, I guess," but he apologised for hisscepticism when informed that Mr. Zane Greyvouched for it, and had, in fact, used a similarphrase in his book about deep-sea angling.However, the kiwi was too much for onelesson, so to speak. The visitor was preparedto believe that the bird was flightless, practi-cally wingless, of nocturnal habits, and thatit laid' a very big. egg, but he flatly refused tobelieve that it was able to smell for wormsthrough tiny nostrils at the end of its beak.There was no American authority for this,but fortunately there is a native bird sectionat the War Memorial Museum, and it is pos-sible to see the unique conformation of thekiwi's beak. So the New Zealand nationalreputation for truthfulness lias been re-established. j
THE WINDOW BATTLE.
TO SHUT OR NOT TO SHUT.
(By A.K.M.)
. Well, comrades, I'm certain to demand(pardon my bureaucratic slip) a far-flung
audience for tliis article. Why? Every mem-ber of the train-travelling public is either a
window opener or a window shutter, that'swhy. And you know yourself that what'sone man's draught is another man's influenza.That's why, too.
On the express the other night I was oneof half a dozen fortunate males who hadfluked seats in a smoker that was otherwisecompletely occupied (to drag Mr. Ben Travers'Mrs. Spoker into the thing) by about aplatoon and a half of women, cach of whomseemed to resent the intrusion of a smallminority of that sex usually associated withcigarettes, pipes and what goes with them.Anyhow, the moment I spotted the Formidable-looking Female in the corner seat directlyopposite, mine I guessed we were in for ajolly trip. Right from the word go, beforethe express had St. Vitused' itself out of thestation, I sensed we were Window ComplexOpposites—and when two Window ComplexOpposites come together in a train the effectmakes the meeting of those two famous foreignbodies they rammed down our throats inscience class sound like a defective squib. Iput aside the three magazines, four news-papers and two novels I had brought, and,with all the Baden-Powell in me surging forexpression, I prepared for the Great Game.
"Stuffy, Isn't It?"First blood went to the Formidable-looking
Female. Just after the engine had given itsfinal convulsion she casually closed the windowwhich I had opened when I entered the car-riage. I didn't mind this much, as I knewwe were approaching a tunnel. But when tenminutes after we had been hurled into andspat out of that tunnel the window remainedup, I played my first card. Nonchalantly,and with the air of one conferring some greatboon on his suffering fellow-beings, I openedthe window. I then lay back, closed—.but notquite—my eyes and awaited results.
I didn't wait long. My partner pursed herlips, put down her book, quietly but firmlyclosed the window, picked up her book, andpursed iier lips. The Game Was On. I'dplayed it a hundred times before and knewall the tricks.
I made my usual play for this stage. Iwaited Ave minutes, suddenly started up witha "Where am I?" look all over my face, rubbedmy eyes as the coma left me, smiled apologeti-cally at the Female, murmured with sweetinnocence, "Stuffy, isn't it?"—ajid put downthe window.
The Female pursed her lips, drew her coatabout her, shivered, looked at the window—and returned to her hook. Xow this didn't foolan old campaigner of my experience. She waswaiting, this panther, to spring. And springshe did a quarter of an hour later when I had,to all intents and purposes, fallen off again.
Experience, comrades, that's what counts.Wide awake, I went on with my sleeping act,and, as I expected, the Female, after a fewminutes, pursed her lips, put down her book,indulged in a particularly realistic imitationof Lucretia Borgia with another win to hercredit, and settled back to snooze. I gave hertime, "woke' -—and opened the window.
There wasn't a flicker from the Opposition.Twenty minutes, and she was still apparentlydead to the world. We stopped at a station.I got out, leaving the window open. I wasOne Up.
Through the Night.I had a cup of tea and bought two pies.
No, comrades, I am not a superman. I ateone; the other was the only article I couldsee about the platform that had a sportingchance of propping the window open shouldthe occasion for force arise. I returned tothe carriage. The Female reclined iii exactly*the same j>ositioii, but—the window wasclosed!
You can take it from me, comrades, if youever land yourselves into a game of this kind'and the score lies thus at the first stop, you'rein for an all-night sitting. But you can stillbe a gentleman and appeal, once and once only,for a compromise. Opening the window, Iwaited patiently for my opponent to snap outof it—the alleged snooze, I mean. This shedid when the train vaulted into motion, andI must admit she was almost as good a per-former as myself.
"Pardon ine, madam," I said., "Have youany objection to the window being open ?"
"Every," she snapped, and closed it.Of course, that's the end of the Peace Talk,
nnd you doggedly persevere with your alter-nate closing and opening of the window allnight, losing a little of your vim at about2 a.m., missing your turn occasionally between3 a.m. and 5.30 a.m-., literally "doing the dirty"on yourself when you hurl the pane down andfind yourself in a tunnel with the wind in yourdirection, hut otherwise it's a good go rightthrough. Naturally, you've got to have a sport-ing partner that can stay the distance. Thosewho fling in-the window round about midnighthave no professional status and ought to bo-
• warned off the railways altogether. Give meteam work, comrades, give me grit—and giveme air!
Just let me say, modestly, that I beat theFormidable-looking Female one up when wereached Wellington, but she had been pursingher lips so relentlessly and playing her partwith such defiant zeal that I think she carrieda bit too much weight to ensure her an evenchalice.
I mentioned as T left her that we'd had anice trip. In reply she pursed her lips—andclosed the window. She could have saved her-self the energy, as I never count moves madeafter we reach our destination.
Entering my room at the hotel, I noticedimmediately that the window was, closed."Up with the window. laddie," I cried to theporter, the spirit of the fray still upon me.
"Can't be done, sir." lie replied indifferently.''That window has been stuck fast well-nighon twelve months."
Comrades, I ask you—Tg There Justice?
"MAGINOT LINE."Although almost the whole-French frontier
from Nice to Dunkirk is now fully fortified,it is upon the line from south-west of LakeGeneva to Wi'ssembourg and thence along thewhole length of the Franco-Belgian frontierthat the greatest thought and effort have,naturally enough, been expended. The "MaginotLine," named after the ex-sergeant, deputyand Minister of War to whom it was largelydue (says a "Times" correspondent), containsevery resource of material and design knownto military science, ranging from vast for-tresses, such as the triangle Verdun-Toul-Nancy-Metz-Tliionville, to a network of small,mutually supporting strong points. In somecases the works are of <nich a size thnt con-cealment would be impossible even if it weredesirable. In others the peaceful-lookingcountryside conceals a labyrinth of shelters,gun emplacements served by light railways,and even barracks with hospitals and kitchens.In many sectors row upon row of steel railshas been driven into the ground, leavingexposed a jagged length to form a belt overwhich no tank could find its way. Everythinghas been done, in fact, to make the' wholeline as nearly impregnable as is humanlypossible. Equal care has been given to theproblem of providing the troops for thesedefences. The proof is in the fact that withinthree days of the German violation of Locarnothe eastern fortifications were fully manned.The men, coming from specially-constitutedfrontier divisions, were already familiar withtin ground and with the posts they were tooccuny.
THE PASSING SHOW.

There is a bridge story going about con-cerning four old gentlemen who had a reunion

The phenomenal luck of a northern sports-man who got three pheasants in line andkilled the lot with a single cartridge brings
an Argyll Highlander inTHREE BIRDS, to say he has seen a
similar feat performed.The Argylls were "taking over" in front ofAlbert in open country during the GreatMistake. A platoon officer was betwean twosergeants. The sergeant on the right was hitby a German rifle bullet in the fleshy part ofthe thigh, the officer was hit above the knee,and the other sergeant got it in the left heel,which was smashed—three birds with a singlebullet. The German sniper probably cackledat his luck, but there is a distinct feeling thathis day's sport was the last he ever enjoyed.
More menaces! Mangere bluegums havebeen accused, of flapping their long streamersof bark about, thus interfering with power
lines. It has not beenBARK decided yet whether to
STREAMERS, pull the swinging stripsof uiwnannerly bark off
or to chop the trees down. A solution will,of course, be found, but the man who can solvethe flapping gum bark over, say, ten millionacres of bluegums -will achieve something. Inthe eucalyptus forest and in due season theolcl bark strips upwards. Weepers of barkmay bo anything up to a hundred feet long.Gum trees are extraordinarily inflammable.When the forest begins to burn, the long barkstreamers have a fiendish facility for catchingon fire and blowing to the next tree, the nextweeping length of bark, the next ten thousandacres. A power system wouldn't have theghost of a show among the flapping torches ofa half-million-acre eucalyptus fire—and PharLap would be as a tortoise of speed in com-parison in the flame race.
The telephone rang. The man leaped fromhis stool, rushed towards it, and said, "Hello?"The person at the other end talked. "I can't
hear you—please speakTHE DEAF'HEAR. more distinctly—a little
louder—what's that? I'mafraid I can't hear you." So somebody whowas standing by said, "Let me listen—see ifI can hear him." Did so—heard perfectly, andturning to his friend said, "You must be deaf,Alfie." "Deaf, me foot!" angrily replied Alfie."I can hear as well as you—'phone out oforder!" As a matter of fact, he had beendeaf for years and didn't know it. A specialistgoes so far as to tell present listener thatone in every three people is deaf in somedegree, but o'ten thinks he can hear superbly.It is recognised at Home that myriads of peopleare deaf. Some people can hear better throughan ordinary telephone than ear to mouth, andlots of deaf people blame the machine andtreat it harshly. In Britain they are making'phones for the deaf and people who thoughtthey were not deaf are using them. Everyiacility for the hard of hearing is being seento nowadays. A radio set for the deaf hasbeen invented. There are cinemas withapparatus enabling the deaf to hear the talkies—seats are connected with a microphone nearthe screen. Lip readers in silent film daysused to complain that actors' talk had noconnection with the film. The actors had tolearn to speak appropriate dialogue. AllHallows, headquarters of Toe H, introducedheadphones for the congregation and there areother London churches with them—and thereare Home churches where the parsons preachwith their hands.
A ton of mud is to be sent Home. Rotoruamud curative mud. Rotorua mud may beavailable for British bodies at Harrogate, Bath,

It is pointed out thatRotorua mud is practically inexhaustible andwill probably be much used for people over-seas The point for a People's Governmentwhich apparently proposes to deal in mud iswhether mud is to be available for the poorof 2s ew Zealand as well as the rich of BritainCould one stroll out into Queen Street thisdelicious morning and buy even a half-poundof mud?

Could you go to an Auckland chemist,ask linn for two ounces of Rotorua mud andnot generate a feeling in the pharmacist's mindthat you were a subject for an alienist and notfor a pharmacist? No! Why? Because wethink our precious volcanic mud is for thesufferers who are rich in overseas lands. Willsuffering New Zealanderg be forced to takeexpensive trips to Cheltenham or Harrogateor Bath to wallow in New Zealand nnid?Will not a balneological Government, convincedof the curative virtues of our own native mud,make it available in tons for ourselves and ata price within the means of all? If we areto confer the boon of our commercial mud on1others alone it isn't fair. We should be able
to purchase pure Rotorua mud at sixpence a•half-hundredweight, complete with trowel and[scraper, delivered per State lorry at anyaddress.

IN THE PUBLIC MIND.
THE PENAL SYSTEM.
SUGGESTED ALTERATION.
(To the Edltor.lAmong the various suggestions recently
made to you 011 this topic, may I say a fewwords about the "indeterminate sentence"?Such a sentence has its points, though in Eng-land I understand that it never is reallyindeterminate. Is there not a maximum often years? Also it must be made a matterof special indictment, and I believe is neverapplied to any offender under 30 years of age,while in New Zealand I have known boys of18 or so "declared," and without special indict-ment. But what I would urge is this (a sug-gestion already made, I see, by one experiencedex-official): Keep the indeterminate sentence(with proper safeguards, as in England), butlet'the "indeterminate" part of it be served,not in prison, but on probation. The head sen-tence could then be subject to the old-time"remission" for good conduct within the walls;and the real acid test of "reform" (i.e., thatof living a decent life out in the community)could then be properly applied, and examinedby a board that would at least have somethingadequate to guide it. At present I heartilyagree that it has not. Such a "reformed" pro-cedure would also have the merit of economy.
Akaroa. B. E. BAUGHAN.
After reading in the daily paper Mr.Mason's very conservative ideas on prisonadministration and the H.C. Act, it wasrefreshing to read the opinion of a conservativejudge, Lord Buckmaster, who really does knowlaw, past and present, and has far morehumane opinions. "To me the only hope ofthe, human race lies in increasing the feelingof sanctity of human life. Without thisrealisation we shall never get rid of slums,poverty or crime." Magna Charta being thefoundation of British law and justice, it laysstress on two points in legal terms: (1) Thata man shall not be punished twice for the sameoffence. (2) That he shall be judged by hispeers. This is the wording, cap. xxix. of theMagna Charta: "No freeman shall be takenor imprisoned or be disseised of his freehold'or liberties, or free customs, or be outlawed,exiled or otherwise destroyed; nor will wepass upon him or condemn him, but by lawfuljudgment of his peers, or by the law of theland. We will sell to 110 man, and we willnot defer to any man either justice or right."In England the Prevention of Crimes Act pro-vides that if the court is of opinion that aprisoner by reason of his criminal habits andmode of life should be detained for a leng-thened period, then the person found guiltymust prove to the satisfaction of a jury thathe has not persistently led a criminal lifesince the age of sixteen. Again, there is atime limit, not after the method of the PrisonsBoard Kathleen Mavoureen—it may be for ayear or it may be for ever. A man whocontracted T.B. in Mount Eden was sent tohospital ah H.C. A letter was sent asking Mr.Mason to lift the stigma of H.C'. from thisdying man. It was refused. Is there senseor justice in this? The Prisons Commissionerof England reported that as a result of prisonreforms, 011 release prisoners return to theworld less embittered and less at war withthe world, and discipline in prison has improved.We trust that our Prime Minister will him-self see to the matter. The Minister of Justicemay uphold his system with legal phraseology,but what is wanted is a thorough knowledgeof prison life and its effect on the man andthe community. Justice and English libertyrights must not be forgotten, but, above .all,a sympathetic understanding of men and theirweaknesses. MAGNA CHARTA.
THE GOVERNMENT AND RENTS.
The Prime Minister is most emphatic thathe will not allow house owners to put up rents.Yet the Government was the first to put uprents with the first signs of better timee.True, it was not the Labour' Government, butit proved that rents are fixed by the law ofsupply and demand. If house owners are forcedto take an uneconomic rent, no houses will bebuilt to let, and the position will becomeworse for those looking for houses. TheGovernment proposes to build houses., Wherewill it build them? If it .buys land on a bigscale up g«es the price of land to eveiybody.The same will apply to building material. Itwill have to pay standard wages and full pricesfor everything'else. If it lets houses for lessthan what will pay interest, rates, insuranceand repairs and depreciation, then we tax-payers will have to make good the loss. TheGovernment has already lost millions if moneythrough lending too much on houses andbuying land at fictitious prices. It was theaftermath of this that made the slump moreintensified, and the people should strenuouslyoppose a repetition of the same thing.

OLD AGE PENSIONS.
I, like many others, thought the leadersof the Labour party had thought out anilplanned their course before the election inthe event of their occupying the Treasurybenches, and they certainly led us to believethat old. age pensioners would be among thefirst to get some assistance. Instead, theyrestore cuts to those that are receiving acomfortable living wage, if not enough to save.I see one writer in Saturday's "Star" men-tions extra fuel. How one can buy fuel andexist 011 17/6 per week is a puzzle to me. I'have to shiver and grin and bear it, beinghard hit by the slump. I had to apply for theold age pension in my 75th year, and nowin my 77th I am still worse off-—meat, butter,bread and milk all being dearer, and as foreggs, such luxuries are not to be thought of,and this after CO odd veavs in this country.Still hoping.

FRUIT AND FISH.
Governmental action is required in con-nection with the sale of fruit and fish, which,if one can get them fresh, are the most whole-some foods for human consumption. Theprices should be greatly reduced, and it isimperative that these commodities should bsabsolutely fresh. For a long time the price oforanges has.been 1/ for five. Why are orangeskept in the refrigerator and dribbled out onto the market at five a shilling? This practiceshould be stopped at once. All abundance ofgood, fresh fish should be placed 011 the NewZealand market daily at prices within thereach of all, and until this is done none shouldbe allowed to be exported. If they can bringfish alive to the market in Denmark, why can-not this be done here ? F.E.
REST ROOMS.
May I suggest that the City Council builda rest room for the ladies in the vicinity ofEdinburgh Street, Newton. True, there is oneat Symonds Street and Ivarangahape Road, butit is a considerable walk for women with littlechildren, also old ladies, many of whom walkin from Grey Lynn and Westmere. Should theday be at all damp there is usually a crowdin the Symonds Street rest room, with the con-sequent result that the aged and women withchildren do not care to risk a crowd.

SENSATIONAL STORYOF ITALIAN FRAUD.
DUMDUM BULLETS.
Forgery and Deceit of AgentTo Involve Britain.
HOUSE OF COMMONS AMAZED.
British Official Wireless.
(Received 1 p.m.)
RUGBY, May 18.A remarkable account of the
manufacture of evidence implicatingBritish firms in the supply of illegalammunition to Ethiopian forces, wasincluded in a full statement regard-ing the renewal of Italian allegationsthat dumdum, or explosive bullets,had been supplied from Britishsources to the Ethiopian Governmentfor military use.
The statement was made by theForeign Secretary, Mr. Anthony Eden,in the House of Commons at questiontime, and the House received it for themost part in surprised silence, but therewere strong expressions of indignationat the close.
Mr. Eden recalled that a Rome news-paper message of April 12, after repeat-ing the old charges which have alreadybeen relutett, published photographs ofcertain soft-nose cartridges made inthis country and a letter from Messrs.George Bate, of Birmingham, addressedon February »19 to the AbyssinianMinister in London, Azaj Martin, accom-panied by photographs of packages ad-dressed to the Abyssinian Legationmarked, "materials to be supplied forAbyssinia."
The Foreign Secretary said it wouldinterest the House to learn how theletter and the packages came into Italianpossession. On February 19 last anindividual styling himself Colonel PedroLopez called on the managing directorof Messrs. Bate and intimated that he
\ represented the Abyssinian Government.Forged Introduction Produced.
After producing a letter of intro-duction from the Bank of Egypt, itselfa forgery, and after mentioning thepossibility of appointing Messrs. GeorgeBate as buying agents for the Abys-sinian Government, this person statedthat the Abyssinian Legation wished tosecure samples of cartridges of Britishmanufacture which should include dum-dum ammunition.
On being told that ammunition of thiscategory was not used in civilised war-fare, Lopar replied that Abyssinia wasswarming with leopards which it wasno use shooting with solid bits. Aftersome further conversation the managingdirector agreed to supply him withcertain ammunition, including a numberof rounds of soft-nosed cartridges.
Mr. Eden then related to the Househow these were packed in a box andhow, before it was sealed, Lopez askedthat something should be included inwriting to prove that the cartridgeswere British manufacture.
The letter, which was prepared, did"not satisfy his requirements, so Lopezhimself dictated, there and then, a com-munication from Messrs. Bate to theAbyssinian Minister in London guaran-teeing that the sample was of Britishmanufacture. Lopez took possessionof the parcel and t% letter which hehimself had dictated, and which waspublished in the Italian Press.
Mr. Eden added that he had ascer-tained that neither the package nor theletter was ever delivered to the Abys-sinian Minister in London, nor hadLopez been entrusted by the latter withthe mission of securing samples of cart-ridges.
Lopez was known to have approachedunsuccessfully several other firms in theUnited Kingdom.
Well Known to the Authorities.Mr. Eden also told the House that
Lopez was well known to authoritiesunder a number of aliases, and aftergiving some particulars of his career,said that in October, 1935, Lopez wroteto the Foreign Office stating that hethought his services might be of use tothe British Government.
In the letter lie mentioned that he hadalready had three conferences with theItalian military attache at the latter'sexpress invitation. Details of the manycontacts and meetings which Lopez wasknown to have made with, representa-tives of the Italian Embassy wouldweary the House. It was only neces-sary to say that Lopez's relation withthe Italian Embassy continued and hewas known to have had contacts with'members of the Italian militaryattache's staff within the last threeweeks.
Activities of Mischievous Nature.Mr. Eden then stated that Lopez's
activities appeared to the Governmentto be of so a mischievous nature thatit had decided that a friendly warningshould be addressed to the ItalianEmbassy, and the Italian Ambassadorwas warned orally by a high official ofthe Foreign Office.
He was told that the Foreign Secre-tary was aware that the Embassy was
■ in touch with a notorious purveyor offalse information and forged documents.It was further stated that it had cometo the knowledge of the Governmentthat, posing as a purchaser of arms forthe Abyssinian Government, Lopez wasmaking inquiries about the allegedsupply of dumdum ammunition from thiscountry and that he was apparentlyattempting to persuade Italian authori-ties that such ammunition was beingexported, with official connivance, fromthe United Kingdom.

ITALY WARNED.AGENT'S OPERATIONS.Frank Statement Necessary to
Dispel False Reports.
AMBASSADOR'S REGRET.
British Official Wireless.
(Received 2 p.m.)RUGBY, May 18.
Concluding his statement in theHouse of Commons regarding thealleged supply by Britain of dum-dum bullets, Mr. Eden said it wassuggested to the Italian Ambassadorthat the continued employment of aman of a disreputable type such asLopez would not be conducive to themaintenance of good relations betweenItaly and the United Kingdom.
The Ambassador, Signor Grandi,replied that he himself Avas quite un-aware of the existence of the individualin question and expressed most gratefulthanks for the information, which heregarded as likely to prove of greatbenefit to British and Italian relations.
Subsequent, however, to this warning,Italian propaganda on the alleged supplyof dumdum ammunition by British firmswas revived through the public Press,which also published a copy of theletter which Lopez himself dictated tothe secretary and managing director ofMessrs. George Bate and Company.
Mr. Eden then described anotheraspect of Lopez's activity. On March31 under another alias, namely, Mezler,he called on the Abyssinian Minister inLondon and offered, in return for con-cessions in that country, to supply theAbyssinian Government with largequantities of arms and ammunition.
He asked for a letter from the Minis-ter authorising Coionel Gustave Mezlerto buy these goods, adding that hewould be prepared to obtain necessarypermits. He induced the AbyssinianMinister to sign a paper containing along list of the required ammunition.
The Minister had stated that amongmany items listed he omitted to noticeone for 3,000,000 soft-nosed cartridges,and it was obvious that he could nothave noticed it for, apart from every-thing else, he knew that no exportlicense for these rounds could ever havebeen obtained from the Board of Trade.
Their purchase, therefore, would havebeen utterly useless, and, in fact, noapplication for a license for any of themunitions in this list was ever made,but a paper signed by the AbyssinianMinister was later published in theRome newspaper "Messagero."
Foreign Secretary's Regret.Mr. Eden also said that it was with
the greatest regret that he felt com-pelled to deal frankly with what couldonly be described as an attempt to fab-ricate evidence that the Abyssinianforces had been supplied with illegalammunition by British interests.
It was necessary, however, to protectthe good name of British industry andthat there should be 110 misapprehen-sion abroad as to the very careful stepstaken by the British Government, tocontrol not only the quantity but thetypes of arms "and munitions exportedfrom the United Kingdom.
The Italian Note addressed to theLeague of Nations ,a week ago and thenwithdrawn reproduced the letter fromMessrs. Bate and Company and theAbyssinian Minister's paper. Althoughofficially withdrawn, copies had beencirculated informally to foreign delega-tions at Geneva, and the publicity whichensued compelled him to make a fullstatement of the facts without anydesire to excite controversy or criticism.
Asked whether there was no case forprosecution, Mr. Eden • replied that theDirector of Public Prosecutions had cometo the conclusion that although theremight have been a minor contraventionof the Firearms Act of 1920, the factsdid not afford a satisfactory ground forprosecution for an indictable offence.Lopez was a British subject of Polishorigin.
Mr. Will Thorne (Lab., Plaistow): Isthere not some power to expel an in-human brute like this?
Mr. E. J. Williams (Lab., Glamorgan):Is this not evidence that the privateproduction of armaments shomd beprohibited ?
The Speaker closed the incident byproceeding with other business.

United Press Association.—Copyright.
ADDIS ABABA, May 18.
The Italians have made 1500 arrestssince occupying the city. The majorityare alleged to have taken part in loot-ing the city. Trials by militarytribunal have been summary and evi-dence sketchy, and those condemnedhave been shot in batches of 40 or50.
A new capital crime is the possessionof arms by Abyssinians. Following adecree ordering that arms should besurrendered within three days, of whichthe majority of the population was notaware, a search for arms began on May9, and punishment for disobedience ofthe order was applied mercilessly.
For instance, Herr Adel, an Austrianbanker, returned home on the afternoonof May 9 to find that his servants haddisappeared. He applied to the mili-tary governor, upon which he was toldthat they had been shot during the night.Some of them had been in his servicefor 20 years and, moreover, theydefended the house during the looting.
The Italians have also carried outdeliberate revenge, including the murderby soldiers of the Abyssinian patriotand lawyer Ato Aderra, who opposedthe Italians in a lawsuit in the earlydays of the war.

A message from Simla says thatstrong agitation is being fostered allover the country for India's withdrawalfrom the League owing to its ineffec-tiveness in protecting the weakernations. The subject will be raised withhostile intention at the next session ofthe Indian Congress.
In Jerusalem, Hassan Sidky Dejani,Arab strike leader, emphatically de-clared that the strike was directed solelyagainst Britain as a mandatory Powerworking under the League, and added:"Had the Arabs been as strong as Japan,Italy, or Germany, they would havewrested their rights from the League.However, their consolation is that theLeague is collapsing."

Evidence at British BudgetLeakage Inquiry.
MR. THOMAS HAS A BET.
United Press Association.—Copyright.
(Received 10.30 a.m.)
LONDON, May 18.At the Budget leakage inquiry,
Bernard Davis, stockbroker, gaveevidence that he had lunch with SirAlfred Butt, M.P. (Con., Wands-worth) in his office on April 21, theday the Budget was presented. SirAlfred had said he thought an in-creased income tax was certain owingto' rearmament and had instructedwitness to sell large amounts ofshares.
Sir Alfred's son came in and said alot of income tax risks were beingcovered. He added: "Berry—LordCamrose, I suppose— covered a lot theprevious day."
Sir Alfred instructed witness to takeout £2000 or £3000 worth and later'phoned saying he expected a tax andwanted to go "bear" in tea shares. Wit-ness, however, dissuaded him.
Sir Alfred Butt, in evidence, empha-tically denied ever having receivedinformation from Mr. J. H. Thomas orany other Minister relating to possiblechanges in the Budget. He said he hadbeen insuring against contingencies ofvarious kinds since 1931.
When he saw Mr. Thomas on Budgetday their two or three minutes' conver-sation had related solely to liorse-racing.The Budget was pot mentioned.
"Mr. Thomas always liked to discussracing with me and to have a wager onwhat I told him," added Sir Alfred."When I told Mr. Thomas that his son'sname was being connected with theBudget rumours, Mr. Thomas was veryupset and said: 'What a damned stupidrumour. Les. would not do a thinglike that. He has not said a word tome about it.'"
Sir Alfred teutt disclaimed any Jointtransactions with Mr. Thomas, butrecalled a meeting with the ColonialSecretary on a racecourse last year. Hehad said: "Jim, I think I have donegood on a gamble that will pay myelection expenses. I've insured thatLloyd's pay if the election is held thisyear. The premium is about £30 percent. Why don't you have a gamble?"
Mr. Thomas said: "All right I willhave a gamble to the extent of insuringfor £1000."
Witness said that his son arrangedthe business, and after the Decemberelection Sir Alfred sent Mr. Thomas acheque for £1000 less £307 premium.
Counsel, interposing on behalf ofLords Cainrose and Kemsley, said thatneither they nor their families had theslightest interest in Budget insurance.
The judge, Sir Samuel Porter, saidthere was not a shred of evidence thatthey had.

CANBERRA, this day.The Federal Loan Council re-
quested the Commonwealth BankBoard to underwrite an internal loanof £.10,000,000 to be floated immedi-ately to meet requirements of theState Governments in the earlymonths of the coming financial year.
The Bank Board, after considering theLoan Council's request, offered to under-write a loan of £9,000,000. The LoanCouncil then decided to repeat itsrequest for £10,000,000.
Although details of the estimated'deficits of the State Governments atthe end of the current financial year,which were placed before the council,have not been made public, it is believedthat the figures show the deficits to beas follows:—New South Wales, £1,750,-000; Victoria, £300,000; Queensland,£1,150,000; and Tasmania, £222,000.
South Australia anticipates a balancedBudget, West Australia a surplus ofbetween £50,000 and £100,000, and theCommonwealth a surplus of not lessthan £4,000,000.

Mr. ,T. S. Garden, M.P., was expelledfrom the Labour party at a meeting ofthe State Australian Labour partyexecutive last night by 19 votes to four.
Mr. Garden appeared before theexecutive to explain charges of allegeddisloyalty made by hiin at a meetingof the Labour Council in March last.In his defence he repeated many of hisallegations, but admitted that certainother charges he had made were capableof qualification.
The executive held that Mr. Gardenhad failed to substantiate his chargesagainst the president, Mr. P. J. Keller,and the organising secretary, Mr. J. B.Martin, and that the charges were dis-ruptive and likely to impair the unityof the party.
The "Sydney Morning Herald" saysof the expulsion: "It is expected it willprecipitate one of the biggest crises inthe history of the Lang Labour move-ment which, according to many Labourofficials, may result in the overthrowof Mr. Lang."

GRAVE TENSION.PALESTINE UNREST.
Arab Protests Against JewishImmigration.
BRITISH TROOPS PARADE.

(Received 1.30 p.m.)JERUSALEM, May 18.
The tensity of the situation inJerusalem has not decreased since therecent conflicts between Arabs andJews. The Cameron Highlanders,headed by pipes and drums playingalternately with a brass band, paradedthe city to-day, and troops patrolleda wide area, following the killinglast night of three Jews when anunidentified man fired into an audi-ence leaving a cinema in the Jewishquarter.
The funeral to-day attracted 6000spectators, who were protected by steel-lielmeted British police.
A scene occurred at the funeralof an Austrian Catholic, a mechanic,who was found shot dead in thestreet, presumably being taken bythe Arabs for a Jew. Arabs snatchedthe coffin as it was being lowered to thegrave in the Catholic Cemetery, MountSion, and carried it away. They encoun-tered the police,, who rescued it andtook it back to the cemetery.
The Jews so far have shown thegreatest restraint, in spite of constantprovocation. Arson, bombings, shoot-ings and other outrages are of dailyoccurrence.
Jewish speakers blamed the Govern-ment for the bloodshed, and declaredthat the day's victims were the lastthey would give, adding: "We shall nolonger permit them to kill us."
The Hebrew Press accuses the admin-istration of laxity in arresting Arabterrorists.
The Arab strike leader, Hassan SidtyDejani, suggested the conclusion of anequalitarian Anglo-Arabian treaty, andasserted that the strike would persistuntil the Arab demands were met infull.
OUT OF CONTROL.
Arab Masses Encouraged toDefiance.
ANGLICANS PRAY FOR PEACE.
LONDON, May 18.The "Daily Telegraph" correspondent
at Jerusalem says a wave of lawless-ness is sweeping Palestine. The Arableaders who encouraged the masses todefy authority have now lost controlof the situation, and the rank and fileare defying both their leaders' appealfor peaceful resistance and the HighCommissioner's stern warnings againstviolence. The disturbances are thegravest since the war, and specialpiayers are being offered in theAnglican churches.
The question whether Jewish immi-gration is excessive is now supersededby the more serious problem of main-taining order. It is learned that theGovernment does not intend to yieldto the Arabs' demand for the reductionof Jewish immigration, and the HighCommissioner is expected to approve ofa figure of 4000 a month.
Affairs in Jerusalem are paralysedowing to the Mayor's participation inthe agitation, and attempts to call outGovernment servants were not unsuc-cessful. Nevertheless, the streets areso dangerous that it is necessary tohave escorts and armed transportofficers, and prominent citizens andofficials prefer not to keep engagementsoutside the city.
The "Morning Post" Jerusalem cor-respondent reports that the road fromJerusalem to Haifa is unsafe and isstrewn with nails and glass and issubject to daily stoning and shooting,while strikers, waylaying peasantwomen bringing eggs and other produceto the towns, destroy their goods. Thepeasantry are resentful and are sendingmen armed with bludgeons to protecttheir womenfolk.
The strike of dustmen is of gravemenace to health, especially in the oldcity of Jerusalem, which is most in-sanitary. The commendable restraint ofthe Jewish population cannot be toohighly praised. It is reported that anadditional battalion of the SeaforthHighlanders is arriving from Egypt.
BRITISH INQUIRY.DEALING WITH UNREST.
British Official Wireless.(Received 2.30 p.m.)
RUGBY, May 18.Questioned in the House of Commons
on the disturbances in Palestine theColonial Secretary, Mr. J. H. Thomas,said the Government had been givingits earnest consideration to the situationresulting from the continuing state ofunrest. The first necessity was there-establishment of civil order, and theHigh Commissioner was taking all neces-sary steps to that end.
Subject to that the Governmentdecided that the suggested Arab deputa-tion to London would no longer meet theconditions which had arisen and thatinstead it was desirable that inquiryon the spot should be undertaken. Itwas, therefore, decided that after orderis restored a Royal Commission will beappointed which, without bringing intoquestion the terms of the mandate,would investigate cases of unrest and.alleged grievances either of Arabs orJews.
RAIL IMPROVEMENTS.WATERLOO STATION TRAFFIC.
British Official Wireless.RUGBY, May 18.
The Southern Railway brought intoservice yesterday the new line betweenWimbledon and Earlsfield, constructedas a 2200ft "flyover" to obviate neces-sity for local trains crossing the pathof the fast expresses in and out ofWaterloo Station.
The work, part of a scheme costing£500,000, was necessitated by great in-creases in traffic. The number of trainsentering and leaving Waterloo daily rosefrom about 1000 ten years ago to over1200 to-day. Reorganisation includedwiring of over 70 miles of track for anew colour signalling' system, which will jenable distances between trains to beshortened considerably. J
RUNAWAY TRAIN.ACCIDENT IN BUSH.
LOCOMOTIVE JUMPS RAILS.
CREW LEAP TO SAFETY^(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent).
TE KUITI, this day.Out of control, a heavily loaded bush
train careered madly down a windingtwo-mile gradient last evening and
. jumped the track near Mangapehi. Thedriver and brakeman had a fortunateescape 'from injury.
The locomotive drawing the train wasone of two used by the Ellis and Bur-nand Timber Company, Mangapehi,transporting timber logs from the bushto the mill.
When it got out of control it washauling a heavy rake of timber-ladentrucks. The train sped madly down thewinding track, and finally jumped therails on the "inal bend in a cutting whennearing the level below.
Realising that they were powerless tostop the runaway, the driver and brt ke-man decided, to jump for safety. Bothmade a successful landing in the scrub.
Shortly after the men had jumpedthree sets of trucks broke free at therear, and took half a dozen logs intothe gorge below.
'The locomotive continued with twosets and bogies until it jumped the railsand became a wreck in a cutting.
Over 100 men employed at the Manga'pehi mills depend on the two locomo-tives transporting 40,000ft of logs dailyfrom the company's timber forest 20miles inland. A large number of thesemen are employed at the scene of thewreck to-day, and the manager, Mr. H.Hayes, is hopeful of clearing the wreck-age within a few days. The heavierlocomotive, which was following behindthe one that was wrecked, is held up,but the management anticipates thatthe logs on the skids will be sufficientto keep the mills employed.
But for the excellent construction andmaintenance of the track, the accidentwould probably have been more disas-trous. The line is well sleepered andballasted throughout, and is constructedof 561b steel rails.
This is the first accident that ha?happened on the line for many years.

Heavy snow interrupted Messrs. F.S. Smythe and E. E. Shipton in theiradvance from Camp 4, at least 15 inchesfalling on the North Col. The roar ofavalanches from the north-east shoulderof Mount Everest was often audible onSunday.
The North Col will be unsafe perhapsfor two days. Slabs on the upper partof the mountain are unelimbable whensnow-covered. A violent wind is tear-ing the new snow from the mountain,thus giving hope for an early resump-tion of the advance.
The party on the North Col is comfort-able,- with plenty of food.

LIBEL ACTION.FRIENDSHIP BROKEN.
LETTER BY WOMAN."SOME CASUAL HARM."
An action for libel, in which an agree-ment. for settlement had been made inFebruary las-t, but had not been fulfilled,came before Mr. Justice Callan in theSupreme Court this morning. It wasstated durjng the hearing that a, letterfalsely and maliciously written to ayoung woman acquaintance of the plain-tiff had led to. an end of that acquain-tance. The plarntlfl in the action wasThomas Robert Goodisson (Mr. Glaister),farm hand, of Papatoetoe, and the defen-dant Miss Clara Genevieve Thompson,farmer, of Warkworth.
The subject of the libel was the fol-lowing letter written by the defendantto a young woman in Epsom: "Wouldyou be kind enough to ask Goddisson toreturn the blanket and tools he stolefrom my property before leaving; alsothe police is waiting a reply from mebefore making arrest. Beware of himas he is a liar and a thief." There wasno signature to the letter.
No defence was filed to a claim for£10 for special damages (the cost ofidentifying the author of the letter) andalso £190 general damages. There wasno appearance of the defendant thismorning.
Mr. Glaister said that the matter wasreally settled in February last, when itwas agreed that £50 should be paid bythe defendant and an apology written.The sum of £10 was actually paid, butlater the defendant ignoredrequests forthe balance and refused to sign anapology. In reply to his Honor as towhat steps had been taken to bring theknowledge of the hearing of the actionbefore the defendant Mr. Glaister saidthat her solicitor had been in touch withher, but she would not give any instruc-tions.
His Honor then stated that it wouldbe required to lead such evidence aswas necessary on the question ofdamages.
Coolness after Letter.The plaintiff, in evidence, stated that
prior to August" last year he was intin* employ of the defendant. After heleft he was forwardedby the young ladyin Epsom the letter which she hadreceived, and which was unsigned. Thisyoung lady was a friend of his. Laterhe received the actual- letter, and aftersome trouble, identified the handwritingas that of - the ' defendant. The younglady in Epsom was on good .terms withhim prior to the receipt of the letter,but afterwards there was a coolness. Hehad since not had any communicationfrom her or seen her with one exception.
His Honor: Tlie defendant evidentlythought that the young lady in Epsomwas a person who would be seeing you.
Witness: She had observed the factthat I was in correspondence with her.
His Honor: Is it damages for an inter-rupted incipient romance that you areafter ?
Mr. Glaister: They had not reachedthe stage when I could say that some-thing might have happened which didnot happen.
When his Honor asked if there wasany covering letter to the,plaintiff whenhe received the letter which the defen-dant had "written, plaintiff said that ineffect there was a note hoping that whathad been written was not true. Inreply to further questions by his Honor,plaintiff said that, he rang the younglady arid went out to see her. When hearriVed she had a-girl friend with herand did not invite him l as she usuallydid. He arrange'd to take her to thetheatre next evening, and she arrived
•with her girl friend.Theatre Visit Off.
Plaintiff said he did not take them tothe theatre. It jvas not a question ofrefusing to rise to the occasion andtaking them both, but he inferred thathe was not trusted, so he did not goto the theatre.
His Honor: She brought the othergirl as a chaperon?—Yes."
His Honor: At any rate, her receptionof you was not encouraging, so youdropped the matter?—Yes.
Mr. Glaister said that he recognisedthe difficulty in establishing the dam-ages, but it had to be taken into accountthat there was no attempt at apologyuntil a writ was issued. There was ageneral tardiness to put the. matterright, which should be taken in>oaccount in the consideration of damages.These should be as much as wasoffered in-the settlement.
His Honor said that he was not in-clined to take a serious view of thematter, and was certainly not inclinedto fix the damages higher than had beenagreed between the parties. The sumof £10 had been paid, and he thoughtjustice would be done by giving judg-ment for a further £40. The letterwent no further than to the person towhom it was posted, and it was nofault of the defendant's if it went fur-ther. It had done some casual harm,but in effect was not serious.
His Honor then gave judgment for£40, and certified for Supreme Court
costs when Mr. Glaister had explainedcertain difficulties in bringing the mat-ter to the Supreme Court, and not theMagistrate's' Court.

EMPLOYERS' VIEW.SHOPS AND OFFICES,
REPRESENTATIONS ON BILL
FURTHER POINTS RAISED.
Several points on which representa-tion should be made to the Governmentin regard to the Shops and OfficesAmendment Bill were brought forwardat a meeting yesterday of the AucklandEmployers' Association. The meetingalso expressed appreciation of the actionof the Minister of Labour, the Hon. H.T. Armstrong, in deferring the opera-tion of the shorter working week untilSeptember. In a statement made afterthe meeting the secretary of the associa-tion, Mr. W. E. Anderson, said hethought that the postponement wouldenable most employers desirous of doingso to apply for an extension of hoursprovided for in the bill:
Mr. Anderson said that one of thepoints on which.the Government. mightbe approached was that' in computingwages payable to shop assistants; onlyexperience in shops similar to that inwhich an employee was engaged shouldbe considered. As the bill stood atpresent employment in any shop what-soever should be taken into account indetermining rates of pay. The posi-tion created in the bill, the meetingthought, woukl be a deterrent to theemployment of young persons in manybranches of the retail trade.
, Position of Private Hotels.The bill also provides that each assis-
tant in hotels, private hotels, boardinghouses and restaurants shouldbe alloweda half-holiday from noon on one_ work-in"- day in each week, and in addition awhole holiday of 24 consecutive hours,said Mr. Anderson. Under past awardsprivate hotel employees' had beenentitled to the whole holiday of 24 .hoursonly each week.
The extra half-holiday from noon andthe reduction of hours from 4S to 44would mean a need for the employmentof more workers in private hotels andboardingTiouses, consequently more ac-commodation would have to be allottedfor staff purposes, with a consequentreduction in the accommodation avail-able for guests.
Question of Overtime.Mr. Anderson added that the meeting
had also; appreciated the amendment tothe bill by the Labour Committee whichpermitted the employment of a shopassistant' for five consecutive hourswithout a meal, so long as the personconcerned was given a break of 10minutes in. that period.
Representations should also be madeto the Government, Mr.' Anderson said,to retain -the provisions of the presentAct-regarding notice requiring to begiven foe overtime worked in shops. Inthe present Act a shopkeeper has toadvise the Labour Department that over-time has been worked within 24 hoursthereafter, but the proposed bill requiresthat before overtime can be worked thewritten consent of a factory inspectorhad to be secured. Retailers consideredthat that would be impracticable, par-ticularly in country districts wherethere were no resident inspectors offactories.
NATIONAL DEFENCE.
VALUE OF AEROPLANES.
BUSINESSMEN'S INTEREST.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, this day.Arising from a discussion on the
ownership, of air services at a meetingof the council of the Wellington Cham-ber of Commerce,, members turned thetalk into opinions on national defence.
Referring to a recent deputation fromthe chamber to the Postmaster-General,the Hon. F. Jones, on the subject ofmail and cable services, Mr. W. M.Wright said that where the Departmenthad the monopoly of its class of busi-ness the profits really became extrataxation on the community and shouldbe used either to reduce charges or toimprove the services. He had submit-ted to Mr. Jones that air mails shouldbe carried at ordinary rates of postagefor that reason. The Government opera-tion of air services had been suggestedbecause of the relation of flying servicesto national defence, said Mr. Wright.New Zealand was practically unpro-tected at present. The Royal New Zea-land Air Force was not as strong as itshould be. Labour used to' favour dis-armament, but had made no announce-ment of its defence policy since takingoffice.
The chairman, Mr. C. J. B. Norwood,said the discussion had got right awayfrom the point. The committee shouldfirst consider the whole question so thatan opinion could be reached that wouldbe' the considered view of the chamber.He declared the discussion closed, point-ing out that the opinions expressed hadbeen those of members only and notthose of the chamber.
A committee was appointed to con-sider the whole question of nationaldefence.
SHEET ANCHOR.BRITISH CROWN'S POSITION.
VALUE OF HUMAN LIBERTY.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, this day.Presiding at the annual meeting of
the Wellington Boys' Institute, theMinister of Public Works", the Hon. R.Semple, said that one of the fundamentalobjectives of the institute was characterbuilding. No one could attempt tomeasure in pounds, shillings and pencethe value of such an institution to thebudding manhood of the country. Thosein touch with developments taking placein the world to-day, said the Minister,sometimes shuddered with fear to thinkwhat might happen, and the task ofyoung boys was to try tp steer theircountry clear of those calamities andtragedies that might destroy everyinstitution worth while. In his opinion,the British Crown represented the sheetanchor of civilisation and safety zone ofthe world. The British Empire wastlie only country that held fast tohuman liberty, and to-day was a beaconto the rest of the world. It was thereferee holding the scales of justice.
The' task of holding fast to thosemarvellous traditions and principles thatwere eo dear, he concluded, would restin a few short years upon the shouldersof the boys of to-day.
SHOPPING LIMITS.
UNUSUAL PROVISION.
WOMAN ON PROBATION
SUBJECT TO TEMPTATIONS.
11l admitting a shoplifter to probationfor two years, Mr. Wyvern Wilson, S.M.,in tlie Police Court this morning, pro-hibited the woman from shopping inQueen Street, Karangaliape Road andHobson Street.
The woman was Dorothy Borieh, aged29. On Saturday she was charged withstealing a cake of soap valued at 1/3from a Queen Street store, and pleadednot guilty. After hearing the evideiK-e,the magistrate convicted and remandedher. until this morning in;order that theprobation officer could make inquiriesand report.
Mrs. Borieli was hot represented bycounsel on Saturday, but this moi'ningMr. J.' J. Sullivan appeared for her.
"I am'not lici'e to minimise what hasoccurred," said counsel. "It was truethat this woman lias been before theCourt previously, but that was fouryears ago. Since February 29 last shehas been under special treatment by Dr.T. Gordon Short, a specialist in nervousdiseases. She lias been nervous andshaky and very depressed. Under nor-mal circumstances she is a perfectlyhonest woman, and she assures me thaton this occasion she has no recollectionof taking the cake of soap. She boughtone cake, but does not remember pickingup another. She iias three children,whose ages are 7, 9 and 11. She is agood mother. Unfortunately her hus-band is at present on sustenance, hav-ing met with an accident while on reliefwork. He is not drawing any compensa-tion."
Mr. Sullivan produced a certificatefrom Dr. Short describing her illnessand the treatment given, and asked forleniency. He said he felt sure that Mrs.Borieli would not be seen in Courtagain.
"I wish I were as satisfied as youare, Mr. Sullivan," said the magistrate."This woman has already been convictedtwice for shop-lifting and was some timeago warned to keep out of this particu-lar shop from which she stole. Sheundertook to keep away from it. Nowshe is up for stealing again. It is nota case of stealing because of poverty,for she actually bought some soap inthe shop on Friday* The probationofficer has reported to me . about her,and I am bound to take notice of whatshe has said; This woman arrived inNew Zealand 12 years ago. She liasrecently been attending the nerve clinicat the hospital and is suffering frommental depression. The probationofficer thinks she can help her if sheis granted probation. I will admit herto probation for two years, but I thinkthat in this case I had better imposesome restrictions. One of the terms ofprobation will Tie that she is not to shopin Queen Street, Karangaliape Road orHobson Street. While she is on pro-bation she will have to shop at thesmaller shops, where the temptationwill not be so great for her."

WHAT WE READ.LITERARY LEANINGS.
j
FIGURES REVEAL TRENDS.REPORT OF LIBRARIAN.
When Auckland caps a weary day■with an hour or so of restful reading,does it sink itself lazily into a thrilleror a romance of fiction, or does it dip,bent on culture or adventure in the realmsof science and life in general, into moreserious writings? It is an importantquestion, for no doubt behind the read-ing matter of a city lies the culture ofthat city. Figures alone can give thenearest approach to an accurate answer.The fifty-sixth annual report of thechief librarian, Mr. John Barr, submittedto the Auckland City Council last night,showed that of a total of 819,710 bookstaken out of the public libraries, 374,019were fiction, 239,773 general literatureand 205,918 juvenile books.
It is true that many novels containa good deal of culture and history aswell as mere entertainment value, but|most impressive in itself is the figure of200,000 odd books of philosophy, religion,sociology, literature, science, useful arts,fine arts, history, travel, biography,music and general literature of anunclassifiahle nature.
"General works, sociology, literatureand useful arts are practically equal■with last year, the only surprise beingthat sociology continues to hold its ownbo strongly, as the interest in this sub-ject was created by the economic crisiswhich shows signs of passing," wroteMr. Barr. "The greatest advance is inhistory, biography and travel, andreflects to a great extent the popularinterest in current national affairs andin the lives of the men who are actorsin these events. Useful arts andphilosophy and religion also showgreater use. In the latter subject thismay be due to interest in movementssuch as the Oxford Group. Smalldecreases are noticeable in. science andmusic."
VOCAL ACROBATICS.
PHENOMONAL RANGE.
SYDNEY GIRL'S VOICE.
HIGHEST IN MUSICAL HISTORY
A remarkable voice has been dis-covered in Sydney, according to anarticle appearing recently in the "SundaySun."
Miss Nellie Sheridan, of ChandosStreet, Ashfield, formerly a city sales-girl, possesses a phenomenal vocal range,higher than any soprano mentioned inmusical history, says the "Sun."■ Her voice has been cultivated by Mr.Roland Foster for five years. MissSheridan is only 19. Her vocal power isamazing.
She can sing a range of three octavesand a half, her top note being the D,which is an octave and one note abovethe Cin alt. She can descend to the Gbelow the middle C.
Her topmost register on the sopranoscale is one tone above that of theItalian soprano, Lucrezia Agujara, whoin Mozart's time sang brilliantly up tothe C, and was the rage of the localstage nearly 200 years ago.
Musical history has always claimedfor her the distinction of having beenthe "highest-voiced singer ever known.
Miss Sheridan reaches four notesabove the French soprano, Miss LilyPons, and five notes higher than thelate Dame Nellie Melba.
Medical Opinion.She is two tones above the topmost
note of the vocal compass .if the Sydneysoprano, Miss Ethel Osborne, now sing-ing with success in England.
In thq presence of a Macquarie Streetthroat specialist and vocal experts, MissSheridan gave a private recital at Mr.Foster's rooms.
She sang two songs, the highest notesof which were A flat and F above C inalt.
She then engaged in scale singing, andreached the world's record note for avocalist.
Her lower register was also tested andfound to be of excellent timbre. Hervoice is well placed, of delightful qualityand clarity, and the ease with whichshe used it was most marked.
The anatomical side of Miss Sheridan'svocal apparatus, the medical man said,was remarkably developed.
School Find."Her resonating chambers are par-
ticularly well formed," he added, "andher vocal chords strong. Her breathcontrol is extraordinarily good. Defi-nitely the top notes are not falsetto."
The discovery that Miss Sheridan hada voice of remarkable range was madefive years ago at the Canterbury Domes-tic Science School by one of the teachers,Mrs. Daisy Tremayne.
"Miss Sheridan has before her fullythree years of earnest study," said Mr.Foster'. "She has a large repertoire todevelop and foreign languages and dic-tion must be mastered before any defi-nite move can be made towards world'srecognition of her remarkable vocalpowers."
MODERN LIBRARY.
ERECTION AT WHANGAREI."GEORGE Y. MEMORIAL"?
• The modern library building which israpidly nearingcompletion at Whangareiis illustrated by photograph on thispage. The building is situated in RustLane, a stone's throw from the businesscentre. There are two main entrances,both reached by fine concrete steps. Ithas been suggested that the new build-ing should be called the King George V.Memorial. *"
The building cost £7100 and to coverthe cost a loan of £7500 was recentlyraised. It will be one storey, withfoundations of sufficient strength to takea second floor at some future date ifrequired. The structure is of brick andreinforced concrete and will providespace for a museum in addition to bookspace.

THE ONLY WAY.PEACE IN OUR TIME.
PRINCIPLES OF CHRIST.
AN OXFORD GROUP VISITOR.
.The conviction that the only solutionof the complex problem of internationalrelationships in Europe is to be foundin the acceptance by all people of theprinciples laid down by Christ, wasexpressed by Mr. A. W. Platts, M.A.(Oxon.), who arrived at Wellington onSaturday in the course of a world tourwith his mother. They reached New
1 Zealand a few days ago from Australia,i and have visited parts of Westland,including the Franz Josef Glacier.
In an interview with "The Dominion,"Mr. Platts, who is a solicitor, of Bingley,Yorkshire, and a member of the OxfordGroup, said he left England in Febru-ary, when the Franco-Soviet pact wasabout to be ratified by France. Tensionwas growing daily more acute. This,with the apparent ineffectiveness of theLeague of Nations to settle the Italo-Abyssinian question, was producing asense of deep anxiety in Britain, as inEurope generally. An atmosphere ofimpending disaster was in the air. Theonly solution was a Christian revolution.Lord Salisbury, speaking in the Houseof Lords on March 20, said: "The causeof the world's ills is not economic, butmoral. In the words used by a greatmovement in this country, (the OxfordGroup), what is needed here is God-guided personalities to make God-guided nationalities and a new world.
At the invitation of President Roose-velt, Dr. Frank Buchman, one of thepioneers of the Oxford Group, visitedWashington a few months ago with ateam of the movement. The Presidentinvited their advice on the world situa-tion. It was a significant recognitionof the fact that men wei* turning moreand more to the teachings of Christ asthe only permanent solution of theworld's disorder. It was apparent to-day that the so-called privileged classeswere coming to a closer understandingof their responsibilities for and in thepresent economic situation. i
Asked how he came into the OxfordGroup, Mr. Platts said he was challengedto face up to realities and to changeover from being a nominal and ineffec-tive Christian to a sincere and activeone. "There are no half-measures aboutthe group," he said. "You enlist for theduration of the war, if I can put it thatway." He emphasised that the ideathat the worla was progressing automa-tically toward a more equitable socialorder and international peace was beliedby the present crisis in human affairs.We were thrown back to the inescapablefact that only if men and womenresponded to tlie challenge of Christ tolive out the principles of the Sermon onthe Mount, would there be progresssocially and economically and lastingpeace on earth and good will among men.

CORONATION YEAR.
HAPPY COINCIDENCE.
QUEEN VICTORIA'S REIGN.HISTORICAL , CENTENARY.
"By a happy coincidence," remarksHector Bolitho, the Auckland-bornbiographer of Queen Victoria and otherdistinguished personages, in an interest-ing article entitled "The King andWindsor," in the April issue of the"Windsor Magazine," "the year of theCoronation of King Edward VIII. willmark also the hundredth anniversaryof Queen Victoria's accession. Windsorseems to hold these hundred years in herstory.
"As I waited in St. George's Chapelon the day of King George's funeral Ilooked towards the gallery over thealtar, where Queen Victoria sat for themarriage of King Edward. Before me,on the altar, was the gilt plate whichwas given to St. George's during theRestoration, , to replace the platedestroyed or sold by Cromwell's soldiers.
"On either side were the great candle-sticks which were copied from thosemade by Wolsey for his tomb, and after-wards sold during the Commonwealth tothe Bishop of Ghent.
"Below, covered by a blue carpet, wasthe vault in which Henry VIII. andCharles I. are buried.
"Everywhere were memorials of thepast. On one side of the altar was thesimple stone slab marking the tomb ofHenry VI., to which pilgrims came asto a saint. The thought then came thatSt. George's Chapel was built as thechapel of the Order of the Garter .
. .
founded to uphold the power of prayerand the influence of chivalry in Britain."
The smashing of a plate-glass windowin Victoria Street, Hamilton, on a recentFriday evening, resulted in Ernest Deveybeing charged in the Hamilton PoliceCourt with cranking his car while it wasin gear. He admitted the offence and■was fined £1 and costs.
COUSIN OF "R.L.S."KINSMEN CARRY ON.
FAMILY REMINISCENCES.OPPOSITION TO MARRIAGE.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
SAN FRANCISCO, April 28.A small, stooping man of 75 years was
seen walking along Sixth Street in LosAngeles with two volumes under his armand he finally ended up rather exhaustedin a chair. The two books which heoffered in the literary mart on SixthStreet, bounded by Hill and FigueroaStreets, from among many others likethem at home were written by theowner's cousin, Robert Louis Stevenson,original, editions, one autographed.
Dr. George F. Stevenson seldom comesto town. Since 1913 he has lived alone—he never married—on the countryplace near Newhall where Louis, as hecalls the great author, once lived. Itwas owned by the family of RobertLouis Stevenson's wife, the Californian,Fannie Osborne, and Dr. George Steven-son inherited it in a roundabout way.The books were brought from' Samliaafter the author's death.
Dr. Stevenson as he rested, chatted ofthe controversies that are now forgottenexcept by biographers. "The family"opposed Robert Louis Stevenson's mar-riage to Fannie Osborne, whom he meton the steamer coming to the UnitedStates, and who remained with him, anattentive wife, to the last.

"Louis," began Dr. Stevenson, "and Igot on all right, only I offended himwhen my mother objected to his mar-riage to a woman who had beendivorced. Anyway, I saw him in New.Jersey, where I was living then, andlater in Australia and also in Cali-fornia." ■
When Louis visited his family in New-'Jersey George took him to a medical col-lege to see about an operation. Thewriter promptly fainted. Later Georgetook him to an asylum and Louis likedthat better. It was there, his cousindeclares, that he got the notion of writ-ing "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."
"Louis was born in Scotland," he wenton, "another brother Jim in Ireland,where lie became a clergyman, and I inAmerica. My father, a physician, hadcome here early and served in the UnionArmy. All three of us were tubercular.Jim died while preaching a sermon andall the world knows how Louis died inSamoa. Louis had written me to comeand live in California if I wanted to getwell. I did, and I got perfectly well.He was about ten years older than I, soif he had lived he would have been about85 now. Poor Louis! Poor Fannie!"

STRONG CRITICISM
SECONDARY SCHOOLS.I —
TUITION FOR DEGREES.UNIVERSITY COUNCIL STAND.
Strong criticism of the practice oftuition in secondary schools for univer-sity degrees was expressed by membersof the Auckland University CollegeCouncil yesterday, when it was decidedto forward to the Minister of Education,the Hon. P. Eraser, a report whichpointed out to the Minister the "anoma-lous situation which has arisen inrespect to secondary schools which areundertaking the tuition of candidates foruniversity degrees at all stages—notonly stage 1., but stages 11. and HI.,and even M.A."
While the report, which was preparedby the Professorial Board, criticisedsiich teaching on general grounds, itrecognised that a considerable numberof students found it difficult if notimpossible to come long distances to auniversity for financial reasons. Theconcrete suggestion was therefore madethat a system of what were termed"maintenance bursaries" should becreated to enable necessitous students toundertake their university studies in theproper place and under- proper condi-tions. Judging from the Auckland Col-lege, the institution of say 20 such bur-saries eath year in cach of the fouruniversity ccntres would meet the imme-diate case. The value of. each would bebetween £20 and £-10 according to cer-tain financial considerations. Theawards were to be for a year, renewablefor two further years.
Applications for Exemptions."E vory year the Professorial Board
finds itself faced with a large numberof applications from secondary schoolpupils for exemption from attendance atcollege, on various grounds of distance,financialhardship, etc.," the report stated."The number of such applications so farreceived for the current year is over 25.These applicants are matriculated orqualified to matriculate; and they areusually of full age to enter the uni-versity. They prefer to remain atschool on the score "of economy, andwhere the applicant is resident near theschool he can reside at home and saveconsiderably in travelling and livingcosts. The total additional cost ofattendance at college is anythingbetween £25 and £45 per annum. Inthe case of a holder of a school scholar-ship, another £15 15/ would,have to beadded."
The. Professorial Board was stronglyof opinion that such candidates putthemselves at a very grave disadvantagein attempting university work atschool. Candidates fpr the first sectionof degree could not, without seriousdetriment, dispense with that necessaryintroduction •to university methods ofwork and thought, which the first-yearuniversity course provided, and whichshould be the basis of all advanceddegree work.. And it Was indispensablethat candidates at air stages—hilt par-ticularly at, .advanced, stages—shouldhave the expert guidance of universitytuition and access to large specialisedlibraries such as in fact did not existoutside the foiir university centres.
Overstepping Functions.Not only were those proper facilities
not available' in the schools, but also,the report submitted, the secondaryschools in attempting to provide fpr theuniversity classes were oversteppihgtheir proper function and diverting, theirefforts and energies from their real
'• work in attending to pre-matrlculationand entrance scholarship classes.
"The board feels that it is preventedfor the time being from adopting a morestringent policy in this matter by thefact that, in many cases, this * Wotildinvolve a very real financial hardship tothose who were refused exemptions'/the
! report stated. "Many applicants lytveps stated explicitly that, unless they are; allowed to study at at a Com-V ' paratively low cost to their, parents, they
would have to abandon a universitycourse altogether, beihg quite unable tomeet the additional costs of attendanceat college.
"The value of the bursary awarded to| any given applicant Would depend upon
' his financial Circumstances and his| travelling. and living expenses. Each
!r'i individual application could be con-s' sidered by a local college committee, or
otherwise as the Department mightdecide. The- granting Of a bursaryshould in all cases be Conditional on a
: statement that without financial aid theb applicant COtlld Hot afford to attertd thep' college. 'Renewal of the bursary in the
second and third years should depend| . upon the continuance of financial necea-
iity and upon satisfactory academicprogress,
: "The Professorial Board takes Up theview that university education is educa-tion at a university,'' said Professor P.W. Burbidge, chairman of the board.The development referred to in the
j report was of Comparatively recentdevelopment. He had heard of it twoyears ago; but it was a growing thingand was more serioils in the South. Itsaw in it something which mightgravely affoct the university. "Practi-cally, sub-ttnivcrsities are growing tip,''he said. He instanced Wangttnul. Thehoard, he said, was powerless to actwhere financial considerations entered.

UNIVERSITY NEED.
GEOGRAPHY TUITION,
SUBJECT OF IMPORTANCE.PROPOSAL BY PROFESSOR.
Stressing the educational value of thesubject, Professor J. A. Bartrum, profes-sor of geology at the Auckland Univer-sity College, urged upon the collegecouncil yesterday the desirability ofinstituting a full-time lectureship ingeography at the college. The proposalwas referred to the Professorial Board.
In a memorandum to the council, con-sidered at the meeting yesterday, Pro-fessor Bartrum pointed out thatgeography was one of the major subjectsin America, while in most British com-munities it was becoming increasinglyrecognised as among the most educa-tional of humanistic studies.
In Auckland two attempts hadbeen made in somewhat makeshift andtemporary manner to institute classes,but in neit(£r case was adequate adver-tisement made that the subject wouldbe taught, the report said. At the firstattempt iii 1932 full support was givenby the Training College and the subjectdrew 03 students. In 1934 the TrainingCollege was closed, so that the atten-dance of 14 must be considered fairlygood under the circumstances. At^ Can-terbury College last year there were overUO students in geography I.
"Geographic teaching is increasing insecondary schools, in spito of the factthat exceedingly few teachers With ade-quate training are available/' stated theprofessor, --and for this and otherreasons I feel sure that, if instituted ona sound basis, geography would soonbecome one of the most importantdepartments in this college, for it mustappeal to teachers both of primary andof secondary schools, as well as to allinterested in humanistic studies. Anunderstanding of it is basic in theapproach to many of our most pressingeconomic problems. It may be men-tioned that the success of the geographydepartment in Sydney University liasbeen phenomenal."
The professor said that it was emi-nently desirable that a full-time lec-turer' be appointed at a salary of notless than £500 per annum, so that acompetent teacher may be obtained. Ifproved to be impracticable, it was con-ceivable: that arrangements might beentered into with the Education Depart-ment" arid the director of the TrainingCollege whereby the services of Dr. C. R.Laws could be obtained as a part-timelectured. This would hare lo be condi-tional not only on the convenience ofthe director of"the Training College, butalso on the possibility or otherwise ofDr. Laws) being freed from some of hisduties at the Training College. Suchan? arrangement could not, however, beregarded art more than a temporary one,for it would be impossible for any buta full-time ledturet' to Undertake workat stages It. and 111., though the, moreadvanced study would undoubtedly giveimportant teturn to the community in a■comparatively short time.
FREE LIBRARIES.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.THE. RATE.. .
the- possible development Of a freelibrary service was mentioned at a meet-ing of the Auckland City Council lasteverting, when the library committeerecommended that, the Governmentbe requested to remove the restrictinglegislation' ill the Municipal CorporationsAct, 1933, so ad to allow the library rateto bo increased to 2d. At present arate not exceeding Id in the £ oii theannual value of the rateable property'S
Mr. Ernest Davis, movedthat the "matter be referred to the.financecommittee for further consideration andreport, and finally this procedure wasadopted,
The.Hon. T. Bloodworth saw no harmifl the iecointnendation, but Said thatthere Was it better way of dealing withthe question.. If some arrangementcould be made whereby suburban localbodies eotild rate their ratepayers toassist in findrtcing the city libraries therewould be' Ji'o necessity to ask the .cityfatlptj®! to pay more.
The deputy-Mayor, the Hon. Bernardsaid the recommendation-, was
brought forward because of the sug-gestion that they should have a freelibrary service. In order to introducesuch a Service it would be necessary tohave a2d fate. If, the matter Weregiven attention now, there would be nohindrance in the way of giving effect tothe policy of establishing free libraries.
The Mayor said that there was nointention of introducing the free librarysystem at once. All that was wantedwas provision for the increased, rate sothat if it were required in the
ifuture it
would be available.
EX-SOLDIERS' RELIEF.| :
DIRECT PAYMENTS WANTED.
WORK NOT FAVOURED.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)DUNEDIN, Monday.
The method under which the DunedinReturned Soldiers' Association grantsrelief from Poppy Day funds, to dis-abled is likely, to bereconsidered as a result of the refusal ora number of the- men engagedunder thescheme to carry out tlie work allottedto them. ■
The : practice of the association hasbeen to place the men under the super-vision of the reserves department oftlie City Council, which obtains thebenefit of .any work that they do, butthe men are said to have adopted theview that they should not be required towork and that, relief. should be grantedin the form of direct payments'from thefund.
Although the president of the DunedinReturned Soldiers' Association, Mr. H.L. Paterson, refused to make any state-ment with respect to the position thathas arisen, it is understood that anofficial of the City Corporation visitedGhisholtn Park at the end of last weekand found that more than 20 menengaged there under the Poppy Dayscheme were not working and that anumber of them were actually sleeping.He took their names aild forwardedtliera to the Returned Soldiers' Associa-tion; which it is understood has termi-nated the services of the men in themeantime.
The matter is to be considered at ameeting of the association to-morrownight, and it is reported that on thisOccasion the desirability of changing thesygtpm under which relief is grantedfrom the fund will be discusscd.
CITY HOUSING.
DEMOLITION ORDERS.
THREE TO BE ISSUED.DECISION OF COUNCIL.
Eollowing the receipt of a report con-cerning the unsatisfactory housing con-ditions existing in Nelson Street, CookStreet and adjoining areas, which waspresented by the Medical Officer ofHealth (Dr. T. <T. Hughes) and officialsof the council, the Auckland City Coun-cil decided last evening to issue demoli-tion orders with respect to three dwell-ings in Nelson Street in the Riorden'sLane area. In this connection it acted,on the recommendation of the. workscommittee, which reported that theposition so far as the Jackman's Lanearea was concerned was still under con-sideration.
Dr. Hughes stated that the addressesof premises found to require structuralor other repairs had been forwarded tothe sanitary department for therequired action. However, the housingconditions in one' area, Riorden's Lane,were such as to call for the specialattention of the council, to attempt topatch up these premises would only per-petuate undesirable conditions. In orderthat a permanent remedy for theunsatisfactory conditions existing mightbe found, he strongly recommended thatthe council give the matter its considera-tion and, if necessary, tike action underthe Municipal Corporations Act, 1920.the provision of suitable houses wasobviously linked up with the clearing iipof such areas as the one under con-sideration and this aspect would nodoubt receive the council's considerationwhen the whole question was beingdealt with. Conditions somewhat simi-lar to those in Riorden's Lane existedalso in Jackman's Lane, but to a smallerdegree.
The cliief sanitary inspector statedthat the areas referred to were nowbeing inspected and notices served ontlie owners of premises to carry ontstructural and other repairs. In theRiorden's Lane area there were ninedwellings, and although several, withsome repairs effected, would continue toserve for many years, three of them werein an insanitary condition and requiredto be dealt with at oiiee. While thedemolition of tin; latter houses would
remove some of the more undesirableconditions, the area was not suitable forresidential purposes owing to its loca-,tioii in a gully. In Jaekmau's Lanetliera were two buildings each dividedinto two dwellings. Structurally theywere of little vrtlue'aml the owner lnvrlstated that he Would prefer to demolishrather than repair them. Both areaswere very small and if taken andcleared tinder the Municipal Corpora-tions Act would be Buitablc only forcommercial purposes.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
FIELD FOR UNIVERSITIES,
ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECT.
"If the universities are to have thesupport of public-minded citizens, theymust be prepared to give some tangible
.service to the community," said Mr.F. B. Stephens, formerly lecturer ineconomics at the Auckland UniversityCollege, in a brief address to the CityCouncil last night. Mr. Stephens, whorecently returned from two and a halfyears' rescearch and study abroad,expressed the opinion that the Auck-land University College could give prac-tical service to the city in the matterof local government administration.
In his tour abroad Mr. Stephens hadseen changes in local government whichhe described as "almost revolutionary."Two things had especially impressedhim—firstly,' the importance of theorganisation known as the InternationalUnion of Local Authorities—of whichiNew Zealand and Australia were notmembers—and, secondly, the greatdevelopment of the administrative sideof local ■government. Research in loca).body affairs was also growing in im-portance. .In countries such as Englandand America, said Mr. Stephens, tileuniversities were taking great interestin the administrative-aspect of civic lifo,He thought that the Auckland Univer-sity Cbllege could give such a serviceto the city by providing a considerable.amoUnt' Of research Work and facilities/and so be of great value to publicofficers, and by educating the citizens, todo which lie believed was the duty of aUhiversity, rather than to remain con-fined within its cloisters..
On the motion of the Hon. BernardMartin, M.Ij.C., it was decided that thequestion of discussing further tile points■dealt with by Mr. Stephens should bereferred to the finance committee witha vievy to practical use being htade ofthe knowledge that had been gained bythe speaker.
NEW TIME-TABLE.
QUAY. STREET TRAINS-
PROTECTING PEDESTRIANS.
As the result of correspondencebetween the Auckland Harbour Boardand the City Council, and reports sub-mitted by the superintendent of traffic,Mr. C. Bland, after, a conference withRailways Department officials, the CityCouncil last evehing decided upon a newtime-table for trains operating in QuayStreet and running to the wharves. Thenew time-table is to be given a threemonths' trial before being finally adopted.: On Mondays to Fridays trains willnot operate in Quay street between 8.45a.m. and 9.15 a.m. and 4.45 p.m. and 5.i6p.m. On Saturdays trains will notoporate in Quay Street between 8.15 a.m.and 9.15 a.m. and 11;45 a.m. and 12.15p.m.
The pilot 0 ftrains Intending to runpast the intersection of Queen Street orin front of the Ferry Building will berequired in future to give the officer onpoint duty ample warning of theapproach of the train.
A suggestion that In order to bringthe pedestrian traffic to I&nd from theFerry Buildings under the control of theofficer on point duty a temporary'barrierbe erected at the kerb along the front-age of the Ferry Buildings to restrictpersons crossing Quay Street at otherthan the pedestrian crossing is to be thesublet of a further report.
As a result of a collision between amotor lorry and a car, the driver of thecar, Mr. A. Archer, of Whakatane, wasadmitted to the Whakatane Hospitalsuffering from cuts to the head andshock.
SODIUM LIGHTING.SYSTEM ADVOCATED.
FOR ARTERIAL ROADS.
WAITEMATA BOARD'S REPORT.
Provided the Devonport and Taka-puna Borough Councils can arrange thenecessary finance to install a new systemof sodium lighting, as outlined by themanager of the Waitemata ElectricPower Board, Mr. A. Main, in a specialreport, discussed at yesterday's meeting,these two boroughs should have thefinest lighting system south of the line.
The report, published in yesterday's"Star," was brought down by Mr. Mainas the result of a request submitted byMr. E. Aldridge, 011 behalf of theD.evonport Borough Council. Mr.Aldridge asked the board, of which he isa member,* for the declaration of itspolicy, with particular reference to thenecessity of improving the board'sstreet lighting system.
In his report, Mr. Main said that theboard's officers had •• iveii the matter ofstreet lighting a groat deal of attention,and they considered that there wouldbe a sufficient improvement in the light-ing of a stretch from Albert Road andLake Ron-d to the corner of VictoriaRoad and Fleet Street, to pleasantlysurprise the general public. He con-sidered it prudent to allow the board'sofficials to show definitely what could bedone on a fairly lengthy stretch of mainarterial road in Devonport, if theDevonport Borough Council approved ofthe proposals. sMr. Aldridge said he had read thereport with great (Sire, and he 'agreedheartily with the concluding suggestion,lie was quite satisfied with the sugges-tions made, and he would bring thematter before his council.
"Best In the World.""Wo can give Devonport and Takn-
puna a system of lighting that wonklprobably be the best ill"the world," saidMr. Main. "Sodium lighting is the mostpreferable for lighting arterial roads.All we ask is for an opportunity toshow what the "board can do.
Mr.- R. E. Kennings moved that thereport be received and placed before tli®Devonport and Takapuna BoroughCouncils.
Mr. .T. Guinivcn (Mayor of Takapuna)seconded, and said that for a long timeTakapuna had felt that improvement instreet lighting in the borough was badlyneeded. "I don't like the bluey-grcenlights they arc trying out in Devonport,"lie' sttid. "They might be all right downat O'Neill's Point Cemetery."(Laughter).
Mr. Gtliniven said the timo hadarrived when the Main Highways Boardshould bo asked to contribute towardsthe cost of a proper lighting systemfor artoxiaJ roads. "The best assetAuckland Tins got is the marineboroughs." said Mr. Guiniven. "Theyreally make Auckland, but the city takesno interest in them. We, in Takapunawould welcome sodium lighting on thestretch between Hall's Corner and Ilau-raki."
The chairman, Mr. W. R. T. Xeighton,said he took it that if tho report wasadopted, the board would be committedto aodium lighting everywhere in thoboard's area. He advised members tosupport the full and excellent report.
For Arterial Roads Only.Tt was pointed out by the manager
that the board's -officers were in favourof sodium lighting for arterial roadsonly. The report did not mean that anylocal 'body within the board's areashould not instal whatever lamps theywanted. "Sodium lighting is no goodfor shopping areas," he added. "Ifsodium lighting is installed at Devon-port and Takapuna the sodium lightingwill be 'tapered' off near the shoppingareas where increased gas-filled lampsWill bo installed."
"We should either approach the MainHighways Board direct, or through thoAutomobile Association and ask theHighways Board to contribute towardsthe cost," said Mr. A. E. H. Harrison.
The manager said Tie would only betoo pleased tr» attend a committee meet-ing of the Devonport and TakapunaBorough Councils and submit costs andall data on the new lighting Scheme.
, "I have got what I risked for—anexpert lend lit the matter of Streetillumination," said Mr. Aldridge. "Iappreciate all that is contained in thereport and I thank the mdnrtger forbringing it down."
The report was adopted unanimously.
ROYAL SOCIETY.
THREE N.Z.-BORN FELLOWS.
A COVETED HONOUR.
(By Telegraph-"—Own Correspondent.)
DUNEDIN, this day.Dr. A. C. Aitken, who was recently
elected a fellow of the Royal Society,is a roil of the Rev. James Aitken, aformer moderator of the GeneralAssembly of the Presbyterian Church ofNow Zealand.
Writing to the Press on the> subjectof Dr. Aitken's election, Dr. W. B. Ben-ham, F.R.S., curator of the OtagoMuseum, says the fellowship is awardedto members of the British Empire forresearch in any of the pure or appliedsciences, but that research must havesome quality of particular brilliancerather than mere quality. To illus-trate the difficulty of obtaining thiscoveted honour it is enough to mentionthat of the 147 candidates this yearonly 17 were elected. "Dr. Aitken,"he says, "is the third New Zealand-bornfellow, the others being Dr. J. W.Mellor (1027) and Lord Rutherford(1003). Each of these three came fromcomparatively humble homes and, with-out any influence or financial advan-tages, worked his way by means ofscholarships at each stage of his educa/tional career.
"The earliest*fellowship to be con-ferred on a resident in New Zealandwas that awarded to the late Sir JamesHector, a noted geologist and natural-ist. It may not be without interestthat in addition to those mentioned lastweek, namely. Professor Coleridge Farr(1028) 'and the late Dr. L. Cockayne(1012), who had the further distinctionof receiving the Darwin Medal in 1028,may be added Dr. Tillyard (1925),some time director of the CawthronInstitute and now at Canberra. Con-sidering the small number of scientificworkers in the Dominion, this record israther notable."
EXCHANGE RATES.
N.Z. AND LONDON.
RESERVE BANK'S POSITION.
STATEMENT BY MINISTER.
The question of exchange was referredto in a letter which the Auckland PowerBoard received yesterday from theMinister of Finance, the Hon. W. Nash.- Mr. Nash said, whatever might be thewisdom or otherwise of the externaldepreciation of the New Zealand pound,there could be no doubt that section 10of the Reserve Bank of New ZealandAct gave the Reserve Bank power tofix the rate of exchange between NewZealand currency and sterling. TheRight Hon J. G. Coates had statedthat the fixation would take place inco-operation with the Government, andthat New Zealand was not bound tosterling at any fixed and unalterablerate. The relevant part of the Act readthat when the bank gave sterling inexchange for its notes, or gave notes inexchange for sterling or gold, the rateat which the exchange was effectedshould be fixed by the bank.
The Minister said that the particularsub-section was not amended in therecent Reserve Bank Amendment Act,but power was given to suspend, ifnecessary, the duty of the bank to gi\ esterling in exchange for its notes. ItWas not contended that the rate of 120represented, or should necessarily repre-sent, the comparative values of the twocurrencies. When the English and JsewZealand pounds were at the old paritythey did not represent equivalent pur-chasing powers, and it was impossible tomeasure acucrately comparative pur-chasing powers.
The Minister aclderl that it was theintention of the present Government toendeavour to maintain stable internalprices, and the Government had controlof the bank to assist in that policy. Itdid not mean that the relation betweencurrency and sterling would be altered,but the power was there to do so ifnecessary. I
HIGHER RATES?
WATER CHARGE QUESTION.COVERING OF LOSS.
Considering it essential that theexchange premium which had been car-ried as a loss in the trading account forseveral years, as well as the anticipatedincrease in wages, should be covered byincrease in revenue, the waterworksengineer, Mr. A. 1). Mead, recommendedto the City Council last niglit throughtho public services coinmitteoj that awater rate of 4J per cent should bestruck this year on residential propertyand one of 2| per cent on the otherclasses. This would provide an esti-mated increase in revenue of £12,000.The council decided to refer the matterto the finance cominitteo for considera-tion.
Mr. Mead reported that analysis ofthe account had shown that metercharges were returning a slight profit,the whole of the loss being on the returnfrom rating. The Municipal Corpora-tions Act allowed a limiting water rate•of 0 per cent on residential propertyand 3 per cent on 1 andnon-consumers property. In recent yearsthe council's water rate on residentialproperty had been on a sliding scalefrom 5 5-8 per cent for the first £30of annual value and 2J per cent for valuein excess of £30. This provided areturn about equivalent to an t'V'on rptoof 4 per cent. Last year's rate on non-residential property was 2 per cent andon non-consutners £ per cent (minimum1/). He did not think there was anyjustification for the further retentionof the sliding ecale of rating. Theincrease would mean a revenue of£00,280, as against £78,000.,
AQUARIUM AT ZOO.
FAVOURABLE REPORT MADE.
SUGGESTION by curator.
The establishment of an aquarium atthe Auckland Zoo was favourablyreported upon by the parks committeeat a meeting of the Auckland CityCouncil last evening.
The subject was raised by the curator,Colonel E. R. Sawer, who expressed theopinion that a completely now featurewould do more to build up attendancesat the zoo than any mere increase inthe number of normal exhibits. Hementioned that all the principal zoologi-cal gardens had -reported on the out-standing popularity of aquaria, and thohigh initial cost of installation had beenamply covered by receipts, the cost ofstocking and maintenance being rela-tively insignificant. The city engineer,Mr. J. Tyler, estimated that the totalcost of establishing an aquarium wouldbe £8250.
The comniitteo considered that anaquarium would prove an attraction,but made no recommendation, consider-ing that the time was not opportune.When funds permitted it promised tobring the matter again before thecouncil.

NEED FOR CARE.CROSSING STREETS.
ELDERLY PEOPLE'S DEATHS.
COMMENT BY THE CORONER.
The conclusion that the death of twoelderly pedestrians who had been struckby motor cars in Auckland was dueto their own actions was arrived atby Mr. Wyvern Wilson, S.M., at coronialinquiries held yesterday afternoon.
Commenting on the death of Mr3.Mary Jane Clarke, aged 70, a widow, whowas knocked down in Khyber Pass Roadon April 15, Mr. Wilson said that th.;accident seemed to have been one inwhich the only person to blame was thelady herself. "She seems to have runout in front of the car, thinking shecould get in front, and she gave noopportunity to the driver to avoid her.
"I cannot too strongly stress the needfor people, especially elderly people, toexercise care at night when traffic lightsand street lights are very apt to beconfusing,", said the coroner. "She wasan elderly lady, and I suppose her sightwas defectice, for she wore glasses, andshe was probably deceived as to thaspeed of the car. It is a golden rulenever to run across a highway. If thereis not time to get across without run-ning, then one should wait." /
"Here again we have evidence thatthe driver was driving in a perfectlyreasonable manner, but apparently thisold man stepped out from thewithout looking,',' Mr. Wi'son said latelrat an inquest into the death of Mr.John Riddcll, aged 70, who sufferedfatal injuries when knocked down bya motor car in Pitt Street on May 13.
"I do not know how accidents ofthis kind arc to be avoided unless thereis some control of pedestrian traffic,"he added. "The old age Of slow-movingtraffic has passed and vehicles nowtravel rapidly. We must realise that.In large cities there are places wherepeople cross while the traffic is held up,but I do not know whether traffic in thiscity has reached a sufficient intensityfor this. At certain places there iscontrol by traffic officers, but this ispossible only at important intersections.As the matter is at present, extremecare must be exercised."

YEARS OFMISERY
What Middle Age Means toWomen.
"Upon reaching middle age Isuffered severely from nerves,"states Mrs. J. Rudd, of 305 Wick-ham Lane, Abbey Wood, London,S.E. England. "I had constantheadaches, nasty flushes, and feltutterly ' exhausted. For two yearsmy life was a misery; I was terriblydepressed, could not sleep, and toadd to my troubles rheumatismattacked me. Nothing gave perma-nent relief.
"At last I resorted to Dr. Wil-liams' Pink Pills, and derived benefitright from the first. Gradually mynerves got stronger and I began tosleep soundly. Then the rheuma-tism disappeared and the headachesbecame less severe. Now I canhonestly say that I am like a newwoman, full of life and energy."
Many people say that the resultsobtained from Dr. Williams' PinkPills seem almost too wonderful tobe believed; but the explanation oftheir remarkable action is that theyactually help to create new, richblood, and this new blood coursingthrough the veins revitalises everypart of the system.
These pills are invaluable at alltimes of life, but particularly atmiddle age, when the blood isexhausted. Start a course of Dr.Williams' Pink Pills to-day—butaskfor Dr. Williams'. At chemists andstores, 3/- bottle.

TREES A MENACE.POWER BREAKDOWNS.
TROUBLES IN SOUTH AREA.
TWO-WAY SETS ON TRUCKS.
Recent interruptions of the powersupply in the southern areas formed thesubject of a report by the general mana-ger, Mr. R. H. Bartley, to the AucklandElectric Power Board yesterday.
The general manager said that theinterruptions in the area had been toofrequent. The main source of troublewas trees, ad he also urged improve-ment in switching arrangements andimproved means of communication. Anumber of interruptions had been due tothe supply from Arapuni, and in. thatconnection the board was not respon-sible.
Mr. Bartley said that the position inregard to trees was a difficult one, butsome further action was necessary. Thetime had come when tliey had to makea choice between continuity of supplyand the tree menace. Excluding powerfailures from the source of generation,fully 75 per cent of the interruptionshad been due to trees, the most commontrouble being branches carried on topower lines.
Switch Arrangements.In regard to improvement of switch-
ing, Mr. Bartley said that at the presenttime the switching arrangement for thesouthern area followed the recognisedsystem of sectionalisation with time lagoperating for opening the switches set instops. With the typo of fault experi-enced it was difficult to control thesystem and confine the fault to a limitedsectjon. He recommended that the boardshould purchase two automatic reclosingswitches from at least four of the recog-nised manufacturers, and try them out.The supply in the Tamaki area would
be improved by the completion of anadditional 11,000 volt line, and some daythe board might consider it necessary toextend the arrangement further into thesouthern area.
Dealing with improved means of com-munication. Mr. Bartley said that tele-phone arrangements were far from satis-factory, and lie hoped that the difficultywould be overcome by equipping certainof the trucks with two-way radio com-munication, and the placing of men andtrucks at suitable points. There wasalso the necessity for making added pre jvision for standby emergency gangs.
Serious Difficulties.The chairman, Mr. W. J. Holdsworth,
in moving the adoption of the report,said there had been serious difficiilties inthe switch area. As long as there weretrees adjacent to the lines there wouldbo trouble, and their duty was tominimise it. Practically all the troublesin the outer areas were caused by tree?,and branches breaking. Whwe theywere a menace they should be cut bad*or "pruned to the ground level. Ireescaused the board heavy expenditure andcaused a great deal of trouble.
Mr. H. T. Goldie said that the lineshad grown alongside the trees.
The chairman said that trees lookedvery well, but they should be cut whenlines were endangered.
, Underground Cables.Mr. J!. H. Potter said that tho time
had arrived when they should duplicatethe Arapuni service to Auckland. It'was time the lines were putunderground, as was being done in othercountries. There had been powertroubles on the eatern Bide of DominionRoad, Which was not due to trees. Withthe overhead system of lines they wouldalways have trouble.
Mr.' J. Dempsey said that Tie wouldstrongly support • iflny reasonablemeasure to give a reasonable supply, asinterruptions did a lot of harm inextending the service.
Mr. S. I. Crookes said that all weresympathetic with trees and beautifica-tion, but peopie would have to take' upa reasonable attitude about the cuttingof trees when it was necessary. Hehoped that the Government would givepermission to have two-way- sets onsome of the trucks. He considered thatto put the lines underground would notbe' possible owing to the prohibitiveexpense.
The genera! manager's report wasadopted.
LIBRARY NEEDS.NOT ENOUGH BOOKS."CONDITION VERY POOR."ACCOMMODATION WANTS,
"The only tiling which prevented even
better returns than those noted is theinability to supply a greater number ofbooks," stated the chief librarian, Mr.John Barr, in his annual report pre-sented to the Auckland City Council lastnight. "The funds available ata notsufficient to meet the reasonabledemands of borrowers, especially in thechildren's sections. In the latter monthsof the year a distinct falling-off in thecirculation of juvenile books wasobserved, due to the fact that few newbooks could be purchased owing to thebook fund having been largely expended.
"The condition of all books is verypoor, and the stock of the children'ssection is deplorable. The books havein many cases gone beyond furtherrepair.
"
Inadequate accommodation atcertain libraries also contributes towardretarding the normal progress whichthe libraries could make. This is mostnoticeable at the central library, whereconditions are almost hopeless. Themarvel is that, despite the handicaps.,especially in the lending department,any advance at all is possible.
"To observe borrowers at busy periods—say between 12 and 2 daily or on aFriday afternoon or Saturday morning—getting in each other's way in anendeavour to secure a book is to realisehow patient and long suffering they are.Grafton, Point Chevalier and Tamakialso suffer from restricted accommoda-tion, and steps should be taken to givethese libraries relief from the conges-tion that exists."
In his report Mr. Barr recorded theconstantly increasing use that wa?being made of this public service. Thecombined figures for home reading andreference within the central librarybuilding was greater than that of theprevious year, amounting to 1,083,291volumes. Increased circulation wasrecorded at all the libraries except theLeys Institute, Grey Lynn and theschools division. The increase at thecentral library was considerable, therehaving beeen issued 1.3,870 volumes morethan in the previous year. The greatestincrease among the branches was atlamaki, where 3442 more volumes werecirculated during the year.
MILK IN SCHOOLS.BOTTLE SUPPLY.
EXTENSION OF SCHEME.CITY COUNCIL'S DECISION.
The supply of loose milk to schoolsunder the Auckland City Council's dis-tribution scheme is to be discontinuedand when the new school term com-mences on May 25, bottled milk will besupplied to all institutions at presentreceiving a supply and also to the chil-dren attending the Westmere School andthe Auckland school for. the deaf.
A decision to this effect was reachedat a meeting of the council last evening,when it was also decided on the recom-mendation of the milk sub-committeeto extend the supply of bottled milk toall children up to and including Stan-dard IV.
A suggestion was made that farmersshould be given a somewhat higher pricethan the present one of 5Jd a gallon formilk delivered during May, June, Julyand August. In this connection thecouncil considered that owing to thescarcity of feed during the four monthsmentioned and to the reduced price atwhich the piilk was at present beingsupplied, that the request for an increaseof Id a gallon to the farmer was notunreasonable. It therefore granted theincrease.
Assistance Appreciated.All the decisions reached were made
on the recommendation of the milk sub-committee, which expressed its appre-ciation to the producers and vendors forthe manner in which they had assistedit in connection with the supply of milkto school children.
Mr. H. P. Burton said the Milk Coun-cil was interested in the scheme, par-ticularly as it applied to children. TheMilk Council felt it would be a goodthing if the whole scheme was managedby that council. The Milk Council wasIn the best position to do the work andit would be in the best interests of thechildren if it had control. "Further, Ithink, the whole scheme should be gov-erned on a metropolitan basis, until suchtime as the Government decides whethertho scheme should be a national oneor controlled by the City Council,'! saidMr. Burton. The Milk Council hadwritten to the Minister of Health, theHon. P. Fraser, who had replied that hewas awaiting the City Council's reports.There could be no doubt but that thescheme being carried out by which themilk was supplied in bottles waseminently better than the old system.The Milk Council was particularly inter-ested and he believed could carry out thewhole scheme to the satisfaction of all.
Metropolitan Aspect.Mr. W. T. Anderton said it would be a
good thing if the scheme appliedthroughout the whole metropolitan area,btit there were some councils who appar-ently had not become greatly interested.The Government was very interested,and the Minister of Health, Mr. P.Eraser, was now getting the necessarydata to provide that every child in theDominion would get milk. The CityCouncil would be pleased to receive sug-gestions from tho Milk Council, especi-ally if the Milk Council would providethe money the City Council was nowfinding.
Mr. B. Martin said that in someschools records were being kept to showtho beneficial results from supplyingmilk to the children, and the HealthDepartment also was making from itsrecords periodical reports to the Govern-ment. He was sure the City Councilwould be only too pleased to see thescheme extended, but he thought thatfor the present the council should lookafter its own area. If other councilswished to see the area extended theCity Council would be only too pleasedto assist.
35 MAN'S "GOLDEN AGE."
Thirty-five is the "golden age" ofman. This conclusion has beenreachedby Professor Harvey Lehman, of Ohio(U.S.A.)' University, following researchinto' records of 1264 people famous m
many walks of life.. He says thatpoets and astronomers are
_
the onlyexceptions. Poets reach their peak ofexpression in the "twenties," while the.latter are at their best any time after40. The study was made by Professor:Lehman with a view to settling the longstanding controversy as to what timeof life is the best for creative work.He investigated the records of 244 chem-ists, 103 mathematicians, 90 physicists,03 astronomers, 402 inventors, 220 fiction,writers and 52 poets ranging in agofrom 12 (a poet) to 89 (an astronomer).
Poets did the bulk of their creativework between 22 and 35, physicistsbetween 30 and 34, mathematiciansbetween 28 and 38, chemists between 27and 39. The 402 inventors, on an aver-age, were at the height of their power.?at 35. The inquiry did not embrace'careers of business men. The pro-fessor concedes that in this class execu-tive ability becomes most powerful inthe "forties" and "fifties."
POWER CHANGES.
ALTERNATING CURRENT.
RESERVATIONS BY BOARD.
The decision of the Auckland ElectricPower Board to change over the wholeof the area now being supplied by directcurrent to alternating current was fur-ther discussed at a meeting of the boardyesterday afternoon.
A report from the general manager,Mr. R. H. Bartley, which was adopted,said that the change-over would bemade from time to time as circum-stances permitted and as conditions ofloading demanded, but in the meantimethe board desired to place on record theterms and conditions upon which thepresent direct current supply was con-tinued.
They were as follow:—The board ex-pressly reserves the right to discontinueat such time as may be necessary," inpursuance of the general change-overfrom direct current to alternating cur-rent, the supply of direct current nowgiven "to ,any particular plant; suchdirect current supply will not be dis-continued until an adequate supply ofalternating current is available for thepremises in which the direct currentplant is situated; where upon the dis-continuance of such direct current sup-ply the consumer decides to installalternating current plant, in place ofdirect current plant, an adjustment willbe made by the board' in those ■ caseswhere, the existing direct current planthas not" lbst its value through deprecia-tion, obsolescence or other causes; forthe purpose of determining the value ofthe plant under' the provisions of thepreceding condition, depreciation onsuch direct current plant will be calcu-lated at not less than 6 per cent perannum.
DEATH AT WHANGAREI.
(By Telograph.—Own Correspondent.)WHANGAREI, this day.

She has a family of three sons,the second, Alfred Reuben Wilson, beingwell known as one of t.he best mile run-ners in New Zealand to-day. Theother sons are James William andNorman Claude,
MEN DISCHARGED.
COUNCIL RELIEF WORKS.ANSWER TO DEPUTATION.
The discharging of several men whohad been employed on jobs at GilliesAvenue and the Stone Jug in April lastwas before the City Council last even-ing, when tho employment committeereported upon a deputation which hadwaited upon it, asking, among otherthings, that the council keep the worksmentioned going, even on relief alloca-tion.
The employment committee recom-mended that a reply be made that whilstthe council regretted the necessity forreducing tho number«'of men, the worksauthorised were nearing completion andpending further new works no alter-native was open other than to reduce thonumber employed. In view of the cir-cumstances surrounding the position ofother-unemployed, could notagree to preferential treatment beingmeted out to any one section as re-quested bv the deputation, but, havingin mind the suggested proposals forfurther works to relieve unemployment,all labour required for future workswould be engaged through the usualchannels, giving consideration to allapplicants on their merits.
The deputy-Mayor, Mr. B. Martin,said that the last council by way ofloans money had instituted certainworks to give employment to men thenunemployed. These works were justabout finished and the present councilhad tried to keep the men employed byproviding other work for them. It hadbeen suggested by those who had been outof work a considerable time that thocouncil should not retain the same menall the time. "I want to make, thisvery clear," said Mr. Martin, "if somemen are put off others are put on intheir place. I want that to be clearlyunderstood so that people will notimagine this council is putting men outof work. Actually more men are beinggiyen work. Wo are doing this pend-ing the taking of the £400.000 loan poll."
The recommendation was adopted.
OFFICE DECLINED.
LIBRARY CHAIRMANSHIP.
MISS MELVILLE'S ATTITUDE.
"I want to be quite frank in thismatter and to say that I think it wouldbe a waste of time to put my nomina-tion forward in view of what happenedjlast year," said Miss E. Melville, at lastevening's'meeting of the Auckland CityCouncil in declining nomination for theposition of permanent chairman of thelibrary committee, the position -havingbeen rendered vacant by the- recentdeath of Mr. J. W... Yarnall. The onlyother nomination was 'that of Mr. N.Douglas, who was finally appointedchairman. .
In advancing the nomination qf* MissMelville, Mr. H. P. Burton relnindedcouncillors that the council was notpurely a political body, but representedthe whole of the citizens. The appoint-ment of Miss Melville would be appre-ciated throughout the city,'lie said.
CHINESE GARDENS.
ENCROACHMENT ON CITY.
Two residents of Reniuera wrote tothe Auckland City Council last eveningdirecting attention to the fact that theowner of a property adjoining inWaiatarua Road was considering leasinghis property to Chinese for marketgardening, /and stating that - in theiropinion this would depreciate the valueof all adjoining properties and alsocreate a general nuisance. The resi-dents wanted to know if there was alimit to the encroachment in* the cityai;ea by Orientals. V
The matter was.referred to the financeicommittee, with power to act.
CITY RATES.ARREARS TOTAL £151,902.MORE COLLECTORS NECESSARY.
Adopting the report of the Mayor, Mr.Ernest Davis, approved by the financecommittee, the City Council last even-ing decided to appoint two officers to beexclusively engaged ill tho collection ofrates. The uncollected rates on.April 1last amounted to £151,902.
In his report Mr. Davis said it wasnot generally known that in connectionwith the payment of current rates andof arrears, the treasury would takemoney on account. He was sure thatwith rate collectors making systematiccollections, and ratepayers informedthat they may pay by instalment, theamount of the outstanding rates wouldbe considerably reduced.

HAWERA HORSES.
TEAM FOR TE RAPA.J. FRYER LEAVING TO-MORROW.
OXEWETU LOOKING WELL.
(Special to "Star.")
HAWERA, Monday.Another addition to Hawera stables is
the six-year-old Lackham gelding Dialogue,who has been running out at Mr. J.Corcoran's farm for a couple of years.Sturdy and upstanding, he is built on moresubstantial lines than the regular run ofLackhams. He is under 0. Cox's care.
Recent active members of 0. Cox'steam, Friesland, Knock Out and' Valroy,'are enjoying a short let up. The only
horse to gain a place atMarton on Saturday was Ccrowa, who rana creditable third in the Crofton HackCup after being one of the leaders tillthe final furlong. It was Corowa's bestrace to date, and owner-trainer B. LaPouple intends giving him a short let upbefore preparing him for early springracing. The yearling by Lord Quex—Lady Gen, purchased by Mr. La Poupleat the Trentham sales, is developing finely,and is to be put through his initialeducation shortly.
The Hunting Song—Ladify geldingHunting Lad pulled up in a bad -way afterhis race at Marton, and has been returnedto his owner at Foxton.
J. Fryer returned from Te Awamutuon Sunday, and was out this morningsupervising the work of his team. SupremeCourt was not favoured in the runningof his race at Te Awamutu, and returnshome to-morrow.. Glenthawn and Indis-cretion go on to Te Rapa, where theywill be joined by the rest of Fryer'shorses for the northern trip, Soloist, LeGrand, Onewhetu and Wotan, who arebooked to leave here on Wednesday.
Onewhetu came through his races atHawera remarkably well, and looks insplendid order. His performances at TeRapa will be watched with interest inview of his Ellerslie engagements.
Le Grand's recent outings have im-proved him, and he can confidently beexpected to run prominently next timeout.
Soloist was a bit sore as a result ofhis fall at Hawera, but is working freely"again. Not a thoroughly sound horse,Soloist has to be taken a bit on trust.He is a proficient jumper, and may begiven a run on the second day at _TeRapa. These horses have all been doingwork Ellerslie way round, and will beaccorded plenty of Hawera support.
Oriel is standing up to hie work, andrapidly getting into shape.
Silvanus is looking in nice trim again,and will probably be seen in action atOtaki or Wanganui.
Beau Star was shipped to Hastings yes-terday. ,
Cynical Kid is the latest addition to J.Fryer's already big team. Cynical Kid wassore after his last workout, and his tripnorth is doubtful. Fryer has been notablysuccessful with unsound horses.. W. Grindlay had an unenviable ride inthe steeplechase at Marton on Saturdayowing to the breaking of the saddle onIllawarra at the: first fence. The saddlebroke clean in halves, one half goingright underneath the horse, with thestirrup training the ground for quite adistance before being released. Nothingdaunted, Grindlay continued to ride prac-tically bare back, the other half of thesaddle being on the horse's side. Grindlaystated that Illaawrra jumped splendidly,and but for the accident would have been inthe money. He has been engaged to ride
_the horse at Foxton. There are not manyhurdle riders that would have continuedin the race under the circumstances, andit is certainly a tribute to this horseman.Grindlay intends being at Ellerslie for theGreat Northern meeting.
TRACK GALLOPS.
WORK AT ELLERSLIE.
Beautiful weather 'prevailed for trainingat Ellerslie this morning. No. 2 gi;asstrack was available and the . going wasgood, but there was not a great deal ofgalloping executed.
Wee Pat finished in front of RoyalAppellant and Knight of Australia atthe end of seven furlongs in 1.32.4-5. WeePat did her work well: Rereatu ranseven' furlongs in 1.30 3-5, while Whirl-mint and Solas were;on terms at the com-;pletion of five furlongs in, 1.5 1-5. Fleet-wind-and Landlubber were together atthe end of five.furlongeinl.3 3-5. • • JollyDance ran three" furlongs in 41s, while TeBroney covered six in 1.17 2-5.

There was not much betweenSantoft, Town Beauty, Billy ' Boy andUnited at the conclusion of seven fur-,longs in 1.34 4-5. Shy was goi%_ betterthan Mountain Bruce at the finish ,ofseven furlongs, the lastf six taking LlB 3-5.
The Jumpers.Gascille (Craddock) jumped the steeple-
chase fences on the fiat well, and after-wards did two rounds of strong .pace workon the sand.
Black Marlin (Fergus) and King Mestor(Baker) jumped away at the mile post onthe course proper to school over #fourhurdles. Black Marlin slipped ac the firstand lost his rider, King Mestor, goiig oi;to complete the journey alone, his timefor the mile beipg'l.s3 1-51. Black Marlinlater was sent over two hurdles a lon*,' theback on the course proper, jumping with-out mistake.
Chief Emerald (Craddock) did not havemuch pace on while jumping four hurdlesin the centre, but got through his tasksafely.
The full-sister to Dark Prince, who hasbeen named Electric Flash (Sharkey), andRuling King (Williams) were sent, overthe fences on the flat .and two hurdlesalong the back. • Electric; Flash continued,on up the hillj while Ruling King • wentround on the course ptoper, ,ar:d againrejoined Electric Flash before reaching the.sod wall, the pair again,taking the fenceson the flat.

RICCARTON NOTES.
JUMPERS SCHOOLED.
HORSES FOR SYDNEY.
SILVER RING AND SILVER STREAK.
(By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.")
CHRISTCHURCH, Monday.A thick fog was in evidence while the
early part of the work was in progressat Riccarton this morning, but it clearedbefore the jumpers came out.
Giggleswick and Courtyard went overfour hurdles at a moderate pace. Giggles-wick jumped well, but Courtyard's displaywas not up to his form in his earlierschools.
Monastic was sent over ten steeplechasefences. He strode out freely, and gave agood exhibition of jumping.
J. S. Shaw left on Saturday night -withSea Fox and Dollar Bill to fulfil engage-ments at the Waikato and Auckland meet-ings, where they should race well, as theyare at the top of their form. They willbe ridden by A. Messervy, who will gonorth on Thursday night, after the firstday of the South Canterbury JockeyClub's meeting.
H. Rama will go north to-morrow withHorowhenua, Tooley Street and Horotiu.They are in good order for their engageiments at the Waikato and Aucklandmeetings.
C. C. McCarthy will leave to-morrowfor Washdyke with his three horses. Hewill again ride Argentic himself, while A.Stove will be on the two jumpers, HaereTonu and Monastic. The early move isbeing made with the object of schoolingMonastic over the Washdyke fences beforehe races.
G. Ridgway, who injured one of hisshoulders in a fall last week, is on themend, and he expects to be in action onThursday at Washdyke, when he will rideCourtyard in the hurdle race, and Pahuin the steeplechase.
Punchestown struck himself while hewas schooling last week, cutting one of■his forelegs, though not so severely as hedid in a similar mishap last winter. Inthe meantime he is on the easy list, butT. H. Gillett hopes to have him jumpingagain soon.
A start has been made with the workof making a new entrance gate near thetraining sheds at Riccarton. The sandroll at the north-east end has been re-moved, and another will be erected in thegap in the centre row of stalls.
Chief Ranger has been resting at theYaldhurst stables of M. B. Edwards sincehe won a-double at the Canterbury JockeyClub's meeting last month. He will betrained in future by L. G. Morris atMarton, and he has gone north to his newquarters.
Silver Streak is engaged at the SouthCanterbury Jockey Club's meeting, butafter this week he may not do much moreracing in New Zealand for some time. Itis probable that he will do his spring,campaign in Australia. T. Hobbe has notmade any definite plans about the dateof his departure, but the intention is totravel at the sairtfe time as Silver Ring,August being a likely time for leaving.Unless something unforeseen occurs A. E.Ellis will also make the trip, and hewill ride both horses.

STABLE AND TRACK NOTES
FIRST START OVER FENCES.Chief Lap had his . first race in public
ove rthe battens at Te Awanjutu on Satur-day and was strongly supported, beinginstalled second-favourite. He-and GrandScore were in charge passing the standsand entering the back stretch, where ChiefLap ran down the first hurdle encounteredthere and lost a lot of ground. However,his pace enabled him to make up a goodbit of it across the top, but he then tiredand finished a long way back. Withexperience Chief Lap should make amends,
WILL BENEFIT BY EXPERIENCE.Grand Score liad a couple of races over
hurdles at the Taranaki summer meetingand made his reappearance in this depart-ment in the Hack Hurdles at Te Awamutuon Saturday. He soon hit the front andled till about three furlongs from lioine,where Roxy and Sporting Song ran pasthini, and lie eventually finished eighth.His jumping was not too good, but as soonas he improves in this respect he is sureto be returned a winner. His brothers,Chang and Paddon, were both successfulover hurdles.
RACED CONSISTENTLY.Lucidus was saddled up for both hurdle
events at Te Awamutu. In the HackHurdles he was a fair way back when halfthe distance had been covere.d, butimproved his position, and, jumping andstaying on much better than formerly, hebeat all but Roxy and Sportiug Song.Later, in the Orakau Hurdles, he was rid-den a different race, being taken to thefront, and carried 011 the running withWoodful till the straight, the pair beingwell clear o* the field. Woodful then drewaway and beat him home. Lucidus isimproving and he should soon make goodin this department.
FINISHING ON.Arctic Star was saddled up for the
over the baten6 at Te Awamutu on Satur-day in preference to the Park Steeplechase.He was a long way back for over half thedistance, but then connnenced to moveup, and was staying on solidly in thirdposition at the end. Arctic Star jumpedwell afid he should be much harder todispose o£ in some of his forthcomingengagements. He was engaged on the firstday of the Waikato meeting, but did notaccept. However, he is entered for theMelville Hack Steeplechase and the Wai-kato Hurdles 011 the second day, and willthen come on to Ellerslie to raec at theGreat Northern meeting.
STAYED ON WELL.Roxy was produced in excellent condi-
tion for his engagement in the HackHurdles at Te Awamutu on Saturday. Hewas always handy and ran to the leadcrossing the top, Sporting Song joininghim just before the entrance to thestraight. The pair fought out the issue,but Roxy proved a bit too good at the lastjump and beat Sporting Song home by alength. Roxy jumped well throughout andhe should add further to his record duringthe next few weeks. At the recent Auck-land meeting he won the Mangere Steeple-chase in good style and next Saturday isengaged in the Waikato Steeplechase, inwhich he has the minimum, and in hispresent form should keep the oppositionbusy..
GREAT NORTHERN CANDIDATE.King's Archer looked to be in great
heart when he paraded for the ParkSteeplechase at Te Awamutu on Saturday,
' and with his steadier of 11.10 he ran areally good race. He was a good way backearly, but along the back the last timewent up into fourth position. He wasstill there crossing the top and into thestraight, though he was a long way behindthe leaders. However, he finished on wellto get sixth, and it was a really encourag-ing- performance, seeing that it was hisfirst race over the big fences. King'sArcher is not engaged on the first day ofthe Waikato meeting, .but he is in theKing Country Steeplechase on the secondday. '
AN EASY WIN.Woodful was a good horse on the flat,
particularly in heavy going. He made hisdebut as a hurdler in the Orakau Hurdlesat Te Awamutu on Saturday and had theconditions to suit him, the only questionbeing his jumping ability. However, he
■ soon set all fears at rest on that score,■ and with Lucidus he carried on the run-[ ning throughout, and, fencing splendidly,
won in very easy fashion. He is engagedon the second day of the Waikato meetingnext Monday and also figures in the GreatNorthern Hurdles, the Campbell Hurdlesand flat events at the Great Northernmeeting. Woodful is in the same stableas Master Mn,sk and races in the samecolours, being trained by his owner, Mr.J. H. Greenliead, at liotorua.
SHOULD HAVE WON.Little Ruse showed Rromise when
he ran second to Matoru in thesecond division of the Awaiti Handicap atPaeroa in March, but despite this fact hewas allowed to go out at very long oddsin the Trial Handicap at Te Awamutu onSaturday. He jumped away well and wasfourth going across the top. He was theleader into the straight, but ran a- bitwide, allowing Cyllaros to come throughon the rails and join him, the latter beat-ing him by three-quarters of a length atthe finish. If Little Ruse had held on tothe fence it looked as though he wouldhave beaten Cyllaros. Little Ruse is afour-year-old gelding by Little Englandfrom Perouse, by Nassau from Kinetic.The lastnamejl is the dam of Adalene, whois also by Little England.
HAS SOME SPEED.Black Thread showed a lot of speed in
the Arapuni Handicap at Te Awamutu lastSaturday. He began very quickly and seta solid pace along the back and across thetop, Matoru heading him at the home turnto go on and win, while High Tea got upin time to beat him by a head for secondmoney. Black Thread, who is one of W.Goscomb's team at Gisborne, and is ownedBy Mr. D. J. Barry, has shown good formqt Manawatu and smaller meetings in thesouthern part of the North Island, and inhis present condition he is not likely toreturn home empty handed. He is byMimetic, who won, among other races, theGreat Northern Foal Stakes, from Slip-stitch, who some seasons ago produced aspeedy one in Threadneedle, who alsoraced in Mr. Barry's colours.
WILL BE HEARD OF AGAIN. .
Windsor Lad created a most favourableimpression when he won the Park Steeple-chase at Te Awamutu on Saturday. Hewas not bustled in the early stages, butpassing the stands the second time he'waslying fourth. He improved his positionalong the back, and crossing the top ranup to Cromwell, who had been the leaderto this stage. Windsor Lad ran past himbefore the second to last fence "and wasnot troubled afterwards to score by half adozen lengths. Windsor Lad never made a
' mistake throughout, and when called onfor an effort over the last half-mile had nodifficulty in gathering in the leaders. Heis a fine type of 'chaser, and a great dealmore is sure to be heard of him. Earlierin the season he ran third in the FarmersSteeplechase at the Waikato Hunt Club smeeting, which was his best performancethis season,
HAS RACED CONSISTENTLY.Matoru showed plenty of pace when lie
won at Paeroa in March, and he was wellsupported for his engagement in the Wai-takerei Handicap at the Avondale autumnmeeting. On that occasion he jumped outsmartly and led the field for about threefurlongs and a half, where he lost his posi-tion. However, once heads were turnedfor home he came through fast and was infront with a furlong to go, but could notquite see it out, Sebrof and Queen Nonabeating him narrowly. Matoru was again,produced in the Arapuni Handicap at Te jAwamutu on Saturday and again came in Ifor serious attention. He began smartly,.but was eased into third position. How-ever, 'he assumed command at the hometurn,' going on to win nicely by half a -length. This horse lias been most consis-,tent since he first commenced racing, andhe is due to make his next appearance atTe Rapa on Saturday in the OtorohangaHandicap. He should again race promi- j;nently, for he is improving all the time.

AFFAIRS OF REFEREES.
At the meeting of the Auckland RugbyLeague Referees' Association last evening,Mr. L. E. Bull presiding, a definite in-struction was received from the ControlBoard that the non-replacement rule mustbe enforced in all grades as from nextSaturday.
The executive committee drew attentionto the delay by line umpires in signallingthe referee when the ball was kicked outon the full or bounced out from a kick.There was some excuse for hesitancy onlyin the case of a high kick.
Complaint was made that the New tonand City reserve senior teams did notfile out for their game on an outer Domain,ground until 3.15.
Referees and line umpires were urgednot to discuss rulings with spectatorsduring a match.
Mr. P. Rogers was appointed treasurerof the association in succession to Mr.B. Emirali.
WRESTLING.
McCREADY BEATS FORSGREN.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, Monday.With two dumps and a body press Earl
McCready (Canada) withstood the chal-lenge of Jack Forsgren (Canada) for theBritish Empire wrestling championship ina professional match at the WellingtonTown Hall to-night. Forsgren was sobadly jarred by his impact with the matthat he was unable to come out for theseventh round, and was prone for someminutes afterward.
Forsgren won a fall in the fourth roundwith a Boston crab, and did his best tofinish the bout in the same way, but Mc-Cready was too clever for him and wasactually wrestling to the peak of his formonly in the sixth round. The hall waspacked to the doors, and the largest crowdthe Wellington Wrestling Association hashad for several years became highly'excited when McCready crashed Forsgrento the mat.
The Hon. R. Semple, Minister of PublicWorks, presented McCready with thesilver cup given by the New Zealand.Wrestling Union as the British Empireheavy-weight championship trophy.
SENIOR SOCCER.
SATURDAY'S GAMES.
SECOND DIVISION DOINGS
HAT TRICKS BY BADLAN ANDLAMONT
With ideal ground and overhead condi-tions the second division matches onSaturday again provided lively and evencontests, and the competition promises tobe one of the best arranged for severalseasons, with the clubs eager to battletheir way back to first division status. OnSaturday, at.the Domain, a close contestbetween Onehunga and Y.M.C.A. resultedin a win for the Manukau siders by threegoals to one after an even score at half-time. Abels journeyed to St. Helier's Bayto meet Eastern Suburbs, and gained theadvantage in a free-scoring game with a4—3 finish in tlieir favour as a result ofsuperior penetrative power. Philomelwent inland to meet New Lynn at home,and although the local pasturage was notgo suited to close passing as the cityarenas, the handy men from the NavalBase won more comfortably than the odd-goal-in-seven decision would indicate.
Onehunga's Good Team Work.Although Onehunga were without
Birchall and Sager, the Young Men alsolacked the defence of Hilliard in goal, andtried further changes in rebuilding theirdecimated ranks. In the first spell gooddefensive work by Sims at centre-half,Mowat at full-back, and Swift in goal,offset the territorial advantage whichOnehunga maintained by superior teamwork, but Lamont netted neatly from awell-judged centre by Torquist, and Dowd-ing equalised for Young Men. In jthesecond spell the Torquist-Lamont combi-nation again got through, and thenLamont completed his hat trick by neatlyevading the defence to give Onehunga atwo-goal victory. Webster and Blockley,at full-back, held the Y.M. van safely,Webster giving an excellent display ofsafe and sure defence, and the feature ofthe game was the good work of Eversonand the two Lindsays in the visitors' half-line, both in defence and attack. TheOnehunga front line combined happily,and Lamont is quick and clever in seizingon scoring chances. The Y.M. defenceneeds strengthening, and weakness in thewing halves was noticeable, while thefront rank has not yet settled down toteam work, but Churchill at inside leftshows a lot of promise.
Another Naval Victory.Philomel surprised the h'ome side at
New Lynn by taking the initiative fromthe kick-off, and finding the net twice intlie first ten minutes before the local teamcould get going. Colley at outside left wasthe spearhead of the thrust, and his goodcentres were driven home by Green andBadlan. The naval attack died down abit, and a lively raid by A. Hitchin on theflank made the score 2—l to the Philliesat half-time. Another dash by theHitchin brothers evened the score, andNavy woke up for Badlan to bag twomore goals and complete his hat trickfrom useful passes from Colley andHoughton. The Hitchin brothers againcauglit the naval defence out of positionin a swift raid, and Philomel had to be
content with the odd-goal win afterhaving much the best of the game. Korthe winners, Scott at centre-half was avery sound pivot and sh°ii e both in
attack and defence, while Calvert at lefthalf was in good form. The backs weresafe for most of the game, but were unpre-pared at times for the New Lynn livelyleft flank. In the firing line Golley wasspeedy and centred well from the line, andBadlan knew his way to the net with histhree bull's-eyes. The home defenders hada gruelling time repelling the lively navalattack, but stuck well to their task, whilein the front line the Hitchin brothers weresmart off the mark and hard to eatenwhen they found an opening.
ODD GOAL GOES TO ABELS.
At St. Helier's Bay a bard struggleended in a win for Abels by the odd goal
in seven, but the home side were in noway inferior to the visitors. It was ading-dong go from start to finish, withthe score evened three times until, withthe board showing 3 all, Abels got theodd one for victory with the scoreIt was a hard and keen contest, withnothing to mar the even exchanges oil
both sides. McLeay opened the scoring
for Abels and then Marlow got away tocross for Williams to equalise. Then amix-up in Suburbs' goal saw the ball passWynne to give Abels the lead, and Mar-low had to coine back again with anideal centre for the ball to find the barand glance into the net, leaving the scoreeven at half-time. In the second spella raid by Abels saw McLeay touch neatlyto Gill, who scored from close in; butCummings ran down on the right andlobbed over for Williams to even mattersagain. From this to the end it was ahard tussle for the lead and Suburbsheld the advantage in attack, but the for-wards failed to take advantage of scoringchances and the decisive goal came whenDonaldson with a corner kick and nowind to assist him screwed his shot fromthe flag under the bar and into the netwithout assistance. It was a freak shotwhich gave victory to Abels, but on therun of the game a division of pointswould have been a more fitting finish.
Abels owed their win to superior teamwork in the scoring line and Suburbsneed a better combination among theirgood individual forwards before they canget the full benefit of their thrust. Inspite of the heavy score the defence onboth sides was sound and the goals camefrom intermittent flashes of good forwardwork which surprised the unwary onesin the defence.

CLEVER BOXING.
PLUTO DEFEATS FISHER.ENGLISHMAN UNLUCKY.
EXCITING FINAL ROUND.
The programme staged by the AucklandBoxing Association at the Town Hall lastevening drew a packed house, and themain event, a professional catchweightcontest between Cyril Pluto, of Australia,a nd Fred Fisher, of England, went thefull distance of twelverounds, the decisiongoing to the Australian when he wasalmost knocked out.
The final round was sensational. Bothmen went for a knock-out, and Fisherlanding heavily to the head, sent Plutodown. The Australian staggered to hisfeet in a dazed way and as Fisher torein covered up mechanically and as besthe could. Had Fisher stood off andtimed one blow the bout would have pro-bably ended then and there. As it was,the Englishman went right in on top ofhis man and hammered away at him withboth hands. The reeling Pluto withstoodthe torrid attack to the gong and the*!staggered oil' the ropes to be acclaimedthe victor.
It was a decision that met with a mixedreception from the big crowd. Pluto hadstacked up a wall of points in the pre-vious rounds, and although he was virtu-ally at his last gasp at the end, the factthat he was still on his feet could notiv:po out the margin that he held. Itwas nearly the old story of the knock-out blow settling all the points margin, nomatter how lengthy it might be. Plutowas very lucky to see it out to thevery end. There could be no two opinionsabout that.
Pluto took the ring at lOst s}£lb andFisher weighed in at list 5%1b. Theweight disparity was obvious from thecommencement.The Australian was very popular with
the crowd. He epitomised in his methodsall that held the buoyancy and grace ofyouth, and from the outset he tried tomake the contest a thing of speed alliedto cleverness. Weaving his way like adancing master, he carried the light to hisopponent with a rain of blows. It wasa sharp contrast in style?. Fisher "foughtwith almost a cool nonchalance. He lethis opponent make the running. He metliim with a masterly defence that beganto worry the Australian as the time wentby; in the close range work he foughtback hard and the advantage, of. weightwas always with him.
Opening the bout at a very lively clip,Pluto kept ripping the left to the bodyand alternated his attack with rightswings at the head. Fisher was takingnearly all the rips with his left forearm,but an occasional one went through. Yethe was ready to back move for the follow-ing swing. On his toes with qn endlesstorrent of speed, Pluto led the waythrough the first three rounds. The Eng-lishman continued in an unruffled way,gradually taking the measure of his oppo-nent, and freely trading punch, for punchin the in-fighting.
In the next couple of rounds the Eng-lishman began to use a short right-handcross repeatedly and often had Pluto ontiie ropes. The sixth still saw Plutoforcing the fight with the same tactics,ripping bis left in as he went in closeand then following with a swing. Fromthe spectacular viewpoint the tight hadbeen all Pluto's up to this stage, butthe Englishman was as steady as ever andoccasionally he landed hard at shortrange.
They kept hard at it through the nextcouple of rounds, and in the eighth Pluto,calling on his reserve of speed, went inand played left and right in a dazzlingway. They were exchanging punch forpunch in the middle of the ring as theround closed. .
The Englishman began to even thingsup in the next couple of rounds withclever boxing and straight hitting. Inthe eleventh Fisher drove Pluto repeatedlyto the ropes and landed heavily to hisopponent's head. '
Then came the final round. BothweivKin to mix it and the house #as in anuproar. Fisher got a hard .left swingacross, which landed to' send the youngAustralian down while five was counted.Dazedly he came to his feet. _ He wasvirtually a 'beaten man. Amid generaluproar, Fisher tore in and rained blowson the tottering Australian. Then camethe gong, and a badly harassed Pluto gotthe verdict. ,/■
Mr, N. McLean was referee and thejudges were Messrs. A. B. Joplin and G.Bush.
Win for Navy.Marine Ryan, of H.M.S. Dunedin, list
9%1b, defeated Jim Broadfoot, of Auck-land, list 51b, on points at the end offive three-minute rounds.
Ryan began to use a straight left atthe outset and showed better footworkthan his opponent. In the second roundthe marine got through his opponent sdefence with hard body blows and fol-lowed it with a stinging right to thehead that had Broadfoot in difficulties.Through the next two rounds Ryan addedto his advantage, but Broadfoot was fight-ing gamely all the way.
In the last round Ryan was still ontop and trying hard to land a knock-outblow. Broadfoot rallied spiritedly nearthe end and was loudly cheered for avery game display against a better boxer.
Mr. R. Meale was referee and Messrs.A. B. Joplin and G. Bush were.the judges.
Amateur Bouts.The amateur preliminary bouts were
a bright prelude to the big programme.In a welter-weight contest, D. Gurr,
lOst 81b, beat E. Estall, lOst 21b, onpoints. The pair fought willingly all theway and there appeared .to be littlebetween them at the end.
In the second welter-weight contest■ V. ,Johnson, list lib, beat A. B. Fulton .(H.M.S. Dunedin), lOst 121b. The pair .were fighting hard in the second round, :when Fulton had his face badly cut and j
• the referee stopped the bout. ;In a lightweight contest, R. McLachlan, :
9st 61b,.beat R. Nixon, 9st 91b, on points, :showing much more cleverness than his ;opponent and winning every round. ;
The second lightweight bout was ;between D. McWilliams, 9st 101b, and K. :Wilson, 9st lib. They fought evenly over Jthree rounds, but in the final round WiJ-son's defence was penetrated and ne wastwice down. The referee then awardedthe bout to McWilliams.
Rapid Fire.One of the highlights of the programme
was the teams' match between ten men ta side from H.M.S. Dunedin and H.M.S. aPhilomel, the Dunedin team "winning by v0%, points to 4%d. The minute roundskept the house in a continual _ uproar.Rapid fire was the order of the night andthe target was the other mans head.Every man fought his friend on the all-out principle, amid a barrage of cheeringfrom the many naval supporters in thehall. The referee was Mr. N. McLean,who had' to work at top speed to sortthe recurring victors out.

HOCKEY.
IMPROVED STANDARD OF PLAYUNIVERSITY'S DOUR STRUGGLE
SOMERVILLE'S BIG TALLY.On Saturday the weather was ideal forthe second series of games iu the seniorchampionship. At Remuera, where three
or the four games were played, the groundswere not conducive to good hockey, thetricky surface upsetting some of the spec-tacular movements just at the criticalmoment. However, it was pleasing tonote a distinct improvement in the playvar'ous teams, under the existingconditions, players seeming to be settlingdown in their positions and combining to Ibetter advantage. i
GRAMMAR'S SOLITARY GOAL.In a game which had its thrillingmoments, Grammar Old Boys gained thedecision over University by one goal toml. There was hardly a dull momentduring the full 70 minutes' play, and atditierent times both sets of forwards hadtheir exciting moments in the circle, overeagerness spoiling several chances. Attimes better positional play would pro-
bably have altered the course of some ofthe movements, and most likely havechanged failure to success, but as thisapplies equally to both sete of backs, itis hard to say whether or not the finalresult would have been altered.l< or the victors, Jones, at full-back, borethe brunt of the defence and came throughwith flying colours. Robinson, his part-ner proved unreliable, fumbling the ballin the danger zone and not clearing cleanlyor with any senee of direction. The halfline all worked hard, but were inclinedto lose position, more especially whensupporting their forwards on attack. Her-nott proved the best of the trio, whileii-. Lawry, although getting through somenice work, spoilt a lot of it by hangingon too long and trying to do too muchon his own.
Of the forwards, the inside men—Twig-den, Roughton and I. Ross—were out-standing even though Twigden should havefound the net on a couple of occasionsbut failed with his final hit. Jerram wasresponsible for several fast runs downthe wing, but was penalised too frequentlyfor hooking down on sticks and shouldmake himself conversant with this ruleI •University have to thank their goalieHenderson for keeping the score so low.Not only once, but on numerous occasionshe saved with spectacular kicks, but hewas also lucky not to have scores regis-tered against him when he was drawn outof position, and the backs rushed in tosupport and eventually clear. There waslittle to choose between the full-backs,Hogben and Halliwell, both playing greatgames. The halves proved sound ondefence, but it ie hard to understand whythey persisted in a central attack. In.the second half especially, the wings wereseldom used, and as the inside men werebunching and being caught out of posi-tion, this made it all the harder to under-stand. "Watson was the beat of the centretrio. H. Lawry, at centre forward, wasthe culprit who upset the line position-ally. The inside men, Cooper and A.Broun, worked hard throughout, but werealso guilty of forgetting that they had fastmen outside them waiting for a chance.Roberts again showed his pace wheneverhe got the ball, but Fraser did not evenget the chance to ehow what he could doin the second spell.
HARD-HITTING GAME.In a game characterised by snappy playthroughout St. Luke's did not have mattersall their own way. Mount Eden, playingmore of the country type of game, at times
gave them some anxious moments,although the final result was never indoubt. The reds endeavoured to settledown to preconceived movements, and attimes the forwards swept down the fieldin formation, but Eden's type of gameupset their calculations. Wattam in goalfor tho winners, performed creditably,whilst Clark was the better of the twofull-backs. Robertson and Rice sharethe half-line honours, the latter playinga cool and well-judged game. All theforwards were in the picture at variousstages of the game, Corin and Alexander
! perhaps being outstanding. '
With Mount Eden there was certainlya lack of cohesion between the halves andforwards, and no team understanding, eachplayer playing an individual game. Tangyein goal made several good saves, and,generally speaking, played with judgment.Bowden was the better of the backs,whilefc-Wells proved the best of a mediocreeet of halves. The two Horspoola andOlliver were the pick of the forwards, butthe whole line would improve their play ifonly they would use more direction intheir passing.
TRAINING COLLEGE DISAPPOINT.Somerville, in piling up their big score,
proved that Training College will have todo some intensive training to come up tosenior standard. True, the losers werenot up to full strength on account of vaca-tion, nevertheless there is a serious lackof understanding between the players andvery little attempt at cohesive action. Thebacks never looked where they were plac-ing the ball, and their clearing hits wereseldom got cleanly away, whilst the insideforwards could have used their wings tobetter advantage. For the winners bothC. Smith and Stewart proved a stubborndefence. Hedges was the best of thehalves, although he has the tendency tohold on too long. The forwards gaveglimpses of nice combined movements andall performed well on the day, although ]the opposition was by no means strong. iFor College, Nelson was the better of ]the full-backs, although inclined to usethe reverse stick ehot too much. Lipano- 1vich was the pick of the centre trio, and ito Delamore must go the honours of theforward line, but he should remember one tman cannot beat the opposition on his cown.
IMPROVED TACTICS.The playing surface at Papatoetoe was
ideal for the meeting of Papatoetoe andY.M.C.A., with the result that the gameprovided not only some fine hockey move-ments, but plenty of exciting incidentsthat the spectators enjoyed until the finalwhietle.
The big score of eight goals to twoin the home team's favour suggests asomewhat lopsided game. It was far fromthat. The Papatoetoe team was on topbecause of the better understanding it j
ir'i possessed and the ability of Torbett andChapman in particular to snatch oppor-tunities. Y.M.O.A. engaged in move-ments equally as good as those of theiropponents, but lacked the finish.
The Papatoetoe vanguard has ibeengreatly strengthened by the, inclusion ofChapman and Torbett. On the rightwing Chapman outplayed the opposing;defenders. Torbett as centre maintained
I splendid position and catered for bothsides of the line. His goals were theIresult of smart, nippy work. Smytheman
Jand Monteith combined better thanusual, but were inclined to flashes of in-dividual effort. Cox on the wing wasover-anxious and proved an offsideoffender. Piekens at centre-half wae ingreat form and was ably supported byDow-ling and Edney. The full-backs weresolid, but Kerr wag inclined to delay attimes before clearing. Airey had a goodtesting in goal and used <hie feet toadvantage.
! The Y.M.C.A. forwards engaged insome fine runs until close on the circle,where they crowded in and lost oppor-tunities. After drawing the defence uponmany occasions the close, cramped effortto finish the movement played right intothe defenders' favour. Kiff and Beerewere the best, the last-named player'sgoal being a fine effort. Both Sucklingand Brown were inclined to get too farover the ball. It is impossible for playersto hit the ball when it is so close totheir feet. Neale's appearance at centre-half proved justified and bis performancewas all the more creditable when theopposition was considered. Tasker on theright half wing showed to advantage; hisstopping vrae sound and clearances wellvaried and directed.
' ! -: The full-backs, Surman and Burton,possessed a 'good understanding in the
first half, 'but in the second spell theirtactics were lacking. They then' playedback too far and at times hampered thegoalie. In charge of the net, Irelandbrought off some great saves before get-ting a knock that considerably interferedwith his efforts. He was unlucky to havethe last goal recorded against him, as theoffside rule should have been applied.

PROVINCIAL MEETINGS.
AUCKLAND ASSOCIATION.
VISITS TO IMPORTANT TOWNS.
Representatives of tlie AutomobileAssociation (Auckland) have recentlyaddressed well-attendedmeetings of localmembers at Dargaville, Wliangarei,Taumarunui and Maungaturoto. Ad-dresses were given on motoring organi-sation in New Zealand, associationaffairs and on matters affecting therespective districts. The association'sservice film was screened at all themeetings.
Mr. G. W. Hutchison, secretary of theassociation, reported at last week's coun-
cil meeting that the association intendedto carry on these meetings until mostof the more important towns in theAuckland province had been visited.Bequests had been received from TeAvvamutu and Te Kuiti, and these, heannounced, would be responded to in duecourse.
The danger from glaring headlightswas discussed at the meeting. Mr.Hutchison said the response to the asso-ciation's free headlight testing and ad-justing service had been very poor, andonly 390 cars had been attended to inAuckland. The traffic department ofthe City Council was co-operating withthe association in this endeavour to pro-vide greater road safety, and manymotorists had been stopped by trafficofficers on Grafton Bridge and orderedto have their lights adjusted. Mr. H.Butcher said t'Tiit out of the 340 timeshe had dimmed his lights while travel-ling on the Great South Road only 16drivers had reciprocated the courtesy.
A letter was received from' the Gis-borne advisory committee suggesting adeviation he ma tie between Pulia andWaikohu in order to eliminate danger-ous crossings. . On the motion of. thechairman, Mr. A. Grayson, it wasdecided to ask th§ Main Highways Boardwhat it pioposed to do in the matter.
The Warkworth Town Board advisedthat it was not in a financial position'toeffect repairs to the Warkworth Roadwhere a "washout" had occurred.It was stated by members that the stateof this road was becoming worse.
The Main Highways Board notifiedthat the question of improvements tothe Buckland's Beach highway would beconsidered when the board's estimateswere framed for next year.
THE PIPIROA FERRY.
BRIDGE TO BE ERECTED.■ •••
NO CHANGE IN PEESENT COSTS.
Proposals for a bridge at'Pipiroa overthe Piako River, o$ the Pokeno-Coro-mandel main highway, were referred toat a meeting of the Hauraki PlainsCounty Council. At present a ferryoperates.
The assistant engineer of the PublicWorks Department notified that theMain Highways Board was arrangingfor the preparation of plans for a modernstructure, with an opening span. Theold plans drawn in 1923 would not besuitable.
The Automobile Association (Auck-land) advised that it was anxious to seethrough road connection to Thames asearly as possible, and suggested thecouncil approach the Main HighwaysHoard with a. view to obtaining a sub-sidy. The association" said motoristshad been subjected to a heavy toll inaddition, to taxes,- and suggested thecouncil should reduce the ferry charges.
Mr. W. E. Hale moved the associationbe informed that, owing to the projectedincrease in operating_? costs/ the Councilcould not reduce the ferry charges. Hesaid it might be necessary to increasethem. . The motion was carried.
BRAKE-HORSE-POWER.METHODS OF ASCERTAINING.
There are many methods of deter-mining brake-horse-power, which is theactual horse-power available at theengine's flywheel. The simplest, butnow an almost obsolete method, is topass a rope around the flywheel, secureone end to a spring balance, while theother is attached to a scale pan, inwhich various weights should' be placed.In order to determine the brake-horse-power at any speed the throttle isopened fully and the weights are thenadded to the scale pan. until the enginespeed has been reduced to the numberof revolutions at which the output isdesired to be, known. Then, by obtain-ing W1 = the weights in the scale pan;W2 = the reading on the springbalance; N = the r.p.m. of the flywheeland D = the diameter of the flywheelplus the thickness of the rope in feet,the - brake-horse-power can be obtainedfrom the following formula:—
B,H.P.= (W1 — W2) x — x N x D7
33,000 .
Thg,- modern method of finding the-brakejhorse-power, however, is to 'usea machine known as a dynamometer inwhich the energy developed by the
engine is absorbed, by means of a water/brake. In this a watertight casingcarrying a weight arm is hung.on bear-ings. .Within the casing is a numberof fixed cup's or vanes, adjustable forangle, and rotating between them andin close proximity to. them, the cuprotor driven by the engine. As the cas-ing is full of water the-rotation of therotor by the engine tends to.: turn thewhole ' casing,,'.and .; . this tendency isresisted byythe" weight arm of%he'*:outercasing. At a certain fixed- 'speed thewhole system can be broughtdntp equili-brium by ibhe'adjuetmentj of ..suitableweights from the weight .arm. Fromthis a simple calculation can, ;he- made' todetermine the. i.h.p'.
There are also fan brake dynamo-meters and|electrical testing• equipmentin use nowadays.
USED MOTOR CARS.
HINTS TO BUYERS.
METHODS OF APPRAISAL.
LESSONS FROM SHORT TEST.
The selection of a used motor car in-volves as much care and attention asthat for a new car, states an Englishmotoring journal. Now for a few hintson methods of appraisal. First, havingfelt the radiator to ensure that theengine is cold, have the engine startedup on the electric starter. Does it fireimmediately? Does the starter motorswing the engine rapidly and evenly?Once running, does the engine tick overreasonably quietly and fire on allcylinders?
You start your trial run. Does theclutch free completely and permit easygear engagement? Are there any sus-picious knocks from gearbox or rearaxle? How does slow running on topgear compare with the performance ofthe same car when new ? Next, turnyour attention! to the electrical depart-ment. Is the dynamo charging? Arethe head lights, side lights, tail lights,horn and direction indicators all func-tioning?
; Then the brakes. Have the car stoppedas quickly as possible from 30 m.p,h.
. and pace out the distance. With a four-, wheel braked model the distance should
j not exceed 45 feet. The tyre marks, will show you if any wheel is locking.
J Next, try the hand brake on a hill.Will the brake hold the car firmly on a
5 gradient of 1 in's? Finally, tost per-( formance. If you have to stop watch,
, time the car's • acceleration from 10 to30 m.p.h. on each gear. A test formaximum speed is hot often feasible,
; especially in a large city, but if the; acceleration is good the point is not
- important. Nor is it possible for fueland oil consumption to be tested,though an indication of the latter canbe obtained by glancing at the exhaust.Except on a sleeve-valve car, excess ofsmoke is a bad sign.
Question and Answer.This is about all you will have time
for. on a short test, but, if possible, trythe steering for stiffness and play. Thenreturn with the answers, to your ques-tions noted down, and think out theimplications. You cannot hope forfavourable replies in each case, but| theimportance of each point varies accord-ing to the potential cost. of putting itright. Thus:— y ..
Poor Starting.—May merely indicatean undercharged battery or a carbur-etter-in needof attention or faulty tap-pets.adjustment. On the other hand,it may be due to general senile decayand call for a new battery,, new spark-ing plugs or new valves. There may beair leaks in the induction system.
Irregular Running.—Plugs again arethe most likely culprits,. but the causemay be a short-circuit due to perishedhigh-tension leads, or worn and pittedpoints in the make-and-break. If onecylinder only is affected the plug maybe. oiling up owing to a worn piston.It pays to verify .consistent misfiring.
Knocking.—Definitely a bad symptomin that its cure is likely to be expensive,but many, cars will run for months withquite considerable big-end or little-endplay.. Suspicious noises from the backaxle, are even inore sinister, and maycall for a new crown wheel • and pinion.
Estimating Real Cost.Brakes.—lnefficiency may be due
either to bad adjustment, easily reme-died, or to oil in the drums (perhapssymptomatic of washers in need. of re-newal, or perhaps only to over-generoususe of the grease gun, or an over-filledback axle). The third cause is wornbrake linings. Try to determine thenature of the fault. i
Performance.—Falling off is usuallydue to a multiplicity of causes. Oiled :plugs, worn plugs, sticking valves, toomuch or too little tappet clearance,carbon, rubbing brakes, and so on, allplay their part. Test the compression Iwith the starting handle. Even com-pression is more important than strong ;resistance to turning movement.
Settle as many of these points as youcan. Make a guess at tlie remainder,and then estimate the probable cost ofrepairs. The total will give you the
cost of the car in first-class runningorder.
SPEED ON THE SAND.-—J. Dale, on a 500 c.c. Rudge, being timed at113.95 miles per hour over one way of the course at Muriwai Beach onSunday. This is one of the highest speeds so far attained on a motor

NEW ACCESSORIES.
AMERICAN NOVELTIES.REDUCING OIL WASTAGE.
REMARKABLE FILTER CLAIMED.
DETROIT, March 21.Although automobile manufacturers
have nothing new to offer in the wayof Spring wares, the accessory companiesare, as usual, displaying additionaldevices to increase the ease and comfortsof motoring. Special attention has beendiverted in Detroit to the plans for mar-keting a filter that promises to removeall the old-difficulties about changing oil.Provided the motorist starts out with agood grade of lubricating oil when thecar is first put into use he may drivethousands of miles without ever drain-ing the crankcase, the manufacturers ofthis new device declare.
"Tests have shown no deterioration inthe oil after 10,000 miles of operation ofa motor equipped with this filter,"claimed Mr. Arthur A. Bull, president ofthe company that will produce thdevice. Once the efficiency of such afilter is demonstrated it becomes an itemof appeal for owners of buses, taxicabsand fleets of trucks. In the multipleownership of that are in constantuse oil changes each thousand milesoften run into hundreds of dollars amonth.
Oil bills can never be eliminated, sincea shrinkage occurs in the lubricatingprocess, but engineers generally see awide field 'for devices that reduce oilwastage. The sponsors of the filter justmentioned expect to launch a campaigndirected, however, at the individual pas-senger car owner as well as the operatorof commercial vehicles.
Generating Units.An unusually-frigid winter, which put
an extra strain on batteries, has focusedattention on generating units. In coldweather the tendency has been to imposea heavier and heavier load on thegenerator, what with radios and heatersto be provided, for also. The adjustmentof the generator to the maximum has, inturn, often brought a breakdown in thegenerating system.
New equipment, that promises "tobecome standard for all cars, provides amuch higher capacity, according to elec-trical accessory manufacturers. To pre-vent over-charging this new generatorhas a control that is governed by thevoltage of the battery. When the bat-tery is in a discharged condition thecontrol permits the generator to producethe maximum of current. When thebattery is fully charged the control unitautomatically reduces the output to iafraction of its original output.
Another. accessory manufacturer isoffering an improved dashboard socketcharger, which makes It possible tocharge a battery over-night withoutremoving it from the car. The chargeoperates from a standard 110-volt light-ing circuit, and gives a tapering chargefrom four to two amperes. Its virtueslie in furnishing convenient backyardstorage power when the battery isdrained rapidly., For the motorist who finds the Springwinds unpleasant a Detroit manufac-turer has placed on the market adraught-proof ventilator. Shaped likea wing, this protector is offered eitherin plain or shatter-proof glass. Fittedto the window, it permits ventilation inall kinds of weather. It is so designedas to provide added suction at the win-dow slots, drawing used air out of thecar.
One manufacturer has his eyes on thesummer,: traveller with a compass, theindicator of which always shows thedirection in which the car is moving.Dashboard clocks of modernistic designalso are on display. For the new carowners the novelty manufacturers areoffering seat covers in tans and greys.A combination of woven straw andcloth makes its bid as cooler than ordi-nary material for use on the seats.—(N.A.N.A.).
NEW NUMBER PLATES.The new black and yellow number
plates for use from June 1 have beenseen already affixed on several motorcars in Auckland. Motorists who affixthe new plates before the end of themonth are running a double risk. Theymay be prosecuted .for breach of theregulations, which provide that theplates ■ shall not be used until June 1,one of the reasons being that otherwisepurchasers of cars during May might beable to evade the payment of the regis-tration fee due for that month. Tliesecond risk is that, if they are changingtheir insurance company, their existingthird-party cover does not apply to thenew number plate, and the vehicle istherefore left uncovered.
CITY AFFAIRS.
MEETING OF THE COUNCIL
VARIETY OF TOPICS DISCUSSED.
There was another full muster of mem-bers when the Auckland City Council metlast evening. The Mayor, Mr. ErnestDavis, presided.
Electoral Roll.—ln reporting on the"supplementary roll which was closed onMay 13, the city valuer stated that, as aresult of deaths and transiers of interestsin properties since the elections last year,2512 names had been deleted and 2045 newenrolments had been made. The resultwas that there were now 60,682 electors'names on the roll.
Remuera Trees.—Considered to be in adangerous position as regards their near-ness to live wires, and a source ofannoyance for years, trees at the cornerof Garden and Remuera Roads are to beremoved. The city engineer, Mr. J. Tyler,reporting on a request from a group ofresidents, said that the trees had beendisfigured by storm damage and it wouldbe an improvement to remove them.
Town Hall Heating.—On the recommen-dation of the finance committee it wasdecided to install permanent wiring forfeeding the various radiators at the TownHall. Temporary heating had been in-stalled and had proved a welcome innova-tion to the public, but under the PublicWorks regulations the temporary wiringhad to be removed. The cost of the newwiring will be £88 and will supply 28heaters.
Rounding-off of Comers.—It was de-cided to advise ratepayers of WoottonRoad and Ely Avenue, liemuera, that thecouncil is willing to set back the bound-aries of properties situated at the cornersof liemuera and Wootton , Roads andWootton Road and Ely Avenue providingthey Would assist, especially with regardto the acquisition of the property re-quired. To eliminate the danger which isconsidered to exist at these points atpresent, the engineer, Mr. J. Tyler, esti-mated that expenditure of £150 would beentailed.
Fish Landing Place.—Permission wasgranted to the Auckland Fishermen'sAssociation, Limited, to unload theirfishing boats at Julian's Wall, oppositetlieir premises in Halsey Street, whichthey intend to use as a fish market. Thecouncil granted the association the use of100ft of the wall at the pleasure of thficouncil on payment of a royalty of £15 ayear.
Access to Beach.—In view of the factthat the residents of the locality weredivided on the question, it was decided totake no action in connection with therequest that a zig-zag track and stairwaybe formed to give access to the beach atthe foot of Mercer Road. Fifty-ninesignatories were attached to one petitionurging the construction of the track,while 73 other residents expressed theopinion that the work was unnecessary.
Tepid Bath Charges.—Reporting on asuggestion that the charges for admissionto the tepid baths might be reduced fromGd to 3d during the winter months, thebaths supervisor recommended that nofurther reduction be made. The recom-mendation was adopted..
Formation of Access Path.—After fur-ther consideration the works committee
recommended that, with respect to theproposal to form an access path betweenRiddell Road and Glendowie Parade, thatthe applicants for the work to be carriedout be advised that the work would beincluded in the schedule of intermittentwork which the council proposed toundertake in the near future. The recom-mendation was adopted.
Request for Baths.—A petition fromresidents of Point Chevalier requestingthe council to consider favourably theerection of swimming baths in theirdistrict was referred to the parks com-mittee for consideration and report.Grafton Bridge.—Mr. J. R. Andersonwrote suggesting that, in view of themany tragedies at Grafton Bridge, a grillshould be erected as high as the lampstandards as a means of preventing per-sons climbing over the balustrade. Thesuggestion was referred to the workscommittee.
CURING A COLD.
Writing to the "Morning Post," aSurrey reader remarks: —
I have returned from the Provinces,leaving my cold feet behind me. Every-where I found kind housewives who sawand heard the cold, told me I couldn't goon like that, and immediately proceededto cure me. iiy job took me from NorthWales to Cheshire, Cheshire to Lanca-shire, Lancashire to Huntingdonshire,and back in just over three days. I wasmerely given the most ordinary thingsof- lifa served according to recipes whichhad "kept cold out of our family forfifty years." In North Wales thefanner's wife gave me a big, steaming .basin called. "Brwys Menyn." "You taketake several pieces of thick whitebread," she told me. "Place them in abasin. Add a lump of butter. Pourboiling water over and add pepper andsalt." In Cheshire I had the thick whitebread with a large boiled onion, sousedin boiling water, drained and served in abasin. In Lancashire I had bread andstock—made like bread and milk, withthe stock replacing the milk. It wasvery, very hot and made my eyes water.And in Huntingdonshire- I had dear oldbread and milk with loads of sugar.

WEDDING GIFT.
H H. RANBIR SINGH, Rajah ofSitapur, paced up and down his
' study, telling his private secre-tary what he thought of him.
He was a young man, pleasant andgood-natured; he did not often indulgein outbursts of temper, but when he didthe wise effaced themselves if possible,preferably in advance.
The private secretary, however, hadno option in the matter on thisoccasion. He had brought it upon him-self.
"You have no ideas in your head atall!" said the Rajah in a passion ofexasperation. "You suggest impossiblepresents—pearls, diamonds, emeralds—
what do you take Sitapur for?"We are not rich as this country
counts wealth; any of the gifts fromthe Maharajas who have chosen to sendjewels would make our best attemptslook ridiculous. Y»u suggest some heir-loom out of the treasury—half Indiawill be sending the same sort of thing;valuable enough, but old-fashioned,obsolete, uninspired.
"Then when I tell you this, you cansuggest nothing more reasonable thanan elephant or a tiger! Is that a fittingpresent for the son of the king-emperoron his wedding day? I ask you!
"And has it occurred to you," pur-sued the Rajah, "that the last air mailwhich could possibly get Sitapur's giftto Buckingham Palace in time for the29th goes in less than 24 hours ?
"Less than 24 hours! Something'sgot to be done in that time," said theRajah, and left the worried private secre-tary to think it over, and went to seewhether by any chance the .Rani hadbeen inspired by some sudden brilliantidea in the hour or so that had elapsedsince he saw her last; but she had.not.
• • • •
She was full of sympathy, but that wasno more use than the two or three per-fectly futile suggestions she had man-aged to think out; and although theRajah in despair sought the aid of hisMinisters, not one was any better quali-fied to help him. And the 24 hourswere flying past.
They flew; they passed; they weregone; and the air mail with them; butit bore no wedding gift from Hits. High-ness the Rajah of Sitapur to His RoyalHighness the Duke of Kent.
Ranbir Singh sighed as he leaned overhis balcony into the clear freshness ofthe morning, after a night completelysleepless, and looked out into the palacegardens, dew-wet and shadowy still, verysweet in that early freshness.
Below him, near a yasman bush ayoung girl kneeled, weaving a garland offlowers; she was so intent upon her taskthat she heeded nothing save her ownbusy fingers.
She was Kamla, daughter of theRani's flower-woman, and she Was mak-ing the daily flower-necklace, which it isthe flower-woman's duty to present eachmorning to her royal mistress.
A flower-woman's is an honourableprofession, and Ivamla had lately beengiven a place among the Rani's ladies-in-waiting. She was like a flower her-self, and very beautiful. The Rajahlooked down at her and envied her free-dom from care.
As he watched idly, his thoughts veryfar away, a young inan camo across thegrass and halted at Kamla's 6ide.
He was tall and comply, with apleasant, frank face, and the dreamyeyes of a scholar; but he lookedunhappy. The Rajah fancied he hadseen him before, and guessed him aminor member of his palace staff.
The girl looked shyly up at the youngman, and the young man looked at thegirl, with his eyes betraying him utterly.
"How beautifully you are making thatgarland, Kamla," ho said. "You haveeven more skill than your mother."
"Do you like it?" the girl said; sheglanced at him modestly from behindher long lashes.
"It is lovely," the young man said; hespoke with sudden, passionate wistful-ne6s. "It looks like a wedding garland.Il only it were for our wedding, Kauil^!"
The Rajah said softly: "My God!"and stepped back from the balcony.
For the miracle had happened, andwhat he sought had been vouchsafedhim. In all India there is no more hon-ourable gift, nor one more expressive ofloyalty between subject and ruler, orfriend and friend, than the immemorialone of the sehra—the flower garland.
It is made of flowers, intricatelywoven; it may be enriched to anyextent with gold and jewel, but itsintegral value is the same whether thusadorned or not; and the wedding gar-land must bear attached to it the poemof wedding greetings which shares thename of sehra, and the composing ofwhich calls for a high degree of skill.It is a gift that a king may give, andthat an emperor's son may worthilyaccept.
[ The Rajah left balcony and gardenand the lovers and went to tell theißani. She was swung between delightand doubt. The Rajah was full ofdelight, and had no doubts at all.
"But who will make it?" the Ranisaid. "My flower-woman used to betruly wonderful, but she is beginning tolose her skill these days; she is nolonger young."
(SHORT STORY.)
(By DEWAN SHARAR.)
"Her daughter appears to haveinherited, it," said the Rajah. "Sheshall make the garland."
"But who will write the poem?" saidthe Rani. "You gave Munshi-Mehrthree months leave of absence,." MunshiMehr was the Rajah's Durbar poet.
"He can be sent for," said the Rajah."But how will you get the sehra to
England in time?" said the Rani. "Thelast air- mail you should have caughtwith it went this, morning."
"I have thought of even that," 6aidthe Rajah. "Captain Stuart is inKarachi. That famous English airmanwho's just made the flight from Englandin record time—4B hours, I can makearrangements with him."
"But who will present the sehra tothe Prince 1" said the Rani.
"To make the gift complete the giverhimself should present it," said theRajah. "I myself will go with CaptainStuart."
The Rajah sent a telegram to hisDurbar poet, recalling him summarily;gave orders to Kamla to begin her taskon the morning of the 20th, since asehra of such elaborate workmanshipcould not take less than two days inthe making.
But when the day drew to its. close,bringing with it no word from MunshiMehr, Ranbir Singh and his wife lookedat each other with a look that said morethan words.
"That's settled it. He hasn't got thewire, and even if he did and startedback now, he wouldn't get the Sehrawritten in time," said the Rajah.
"What will you do?" asked the Rani."Offer 500 rupees for the best sehra
submitted between now and the 26th,"said the Rajah. "Major Khamna"(Major Khamna was the private secre-tary) "can have the job of reading them.Wo shall probably get something quitegood that way, and perhaps even aprobable successor to Munshi Mehr whenthe time comes for him to retire."
Ho sent for the private secretary andbade him attend to the matter thereand then; and settled down to awaitthe arrival of Captain Stuart.
He had been much too optimistic. True,within a very sligrt while, sehras werepouring from every quarter of Sitapur;one would hardly have thought so smalla State could harbour so large a numberof poets.
Unfortunately their efforts were of analmost uniform inferiority, varied byoccasional lapses into abyssmal bathos.After two days of this the Rajah wasalmost in despair, and the private secre-tary beyond it.
The 25tli arrived; it brought CaptainStuart; it saw the garland completed,an exquisite thing of scented nargisflowers and the blossoms of the yasmanbush, mingled with pearls and inter-woven with threads and lace of preciousmetals—a delicate masterpiece.
Just then the Rani entered. "I havejust been talking with Kamla," she 6aidtentatively. "Slio tells me that youngCliaran Das has also written a sehra."
"I don't doubt it. If he hadn't he'dbe the only one of his kind in the State,"said the Rajah.
"But so far," said the Rani, "beingrather shy, he has hesitated to submitit. I have it here. I made Kamla givemo a copy," said the Rani. "I'll readit to you."
She read well, and with expression;she had a gentle, sympathetic voice andthe gift of giving the words full value;but »it was not merely her rendering ofyoung Charan Das' sehra that made theRajah sit up with sudden attention, hiseyes bright, and slightly incredulous, asit ho feared lest the quality of the open-ing stanzas were too good to be main-tained throughout the whole fifteen.
"The gods be thanked!" said the Rajahfrom his heart, and, a moment later,"This man is a poet!"
"He is a young clerk breaking hisheart Uecause he sees no chance ofmarrying the girl he loves," said theRani.
"Ho shall have his promotion," saidthe Rajah. "I will make him an aide-de-camp for the time being; and lateron, when old Munshi Mehr retires in duecourse, young Charan Das shall take hisplace as Durbar poet. He's earned itif ever a man did."
The Rani, standing with a newspaperin her hand by her open lattice window,reading tho account of the Royal wed-ding presents, smiled to herself withquiet' pride.
"A high compliment was paid to HisRoyal Highness by lI.H. the Rajah ofSitapur, who fiew from India in orderto present his gift to the Prince in per-son—a sehra or Indian wedding garland;made of Indian flowers, beautifullywrought and emblematic of the deepestloyalty and friendship ..."
At the far end of the garden Cliaranand Kamla stood with hands locked inhands beside the scented Yasman bush,silent with happiness, looking continu-ally into one another's eyes; two younglovers on the eve of their betrothal.
A bodle was a Scottish copper coinworth two Scots pennies, or one-sixthof an English penny. It is thought tohave been so called after Bothwell, amint-master, but this has never beenproved.
