PETONE CLUB'S REPORTThe twenty-fourthanimal report of the'

Petoue Association I<"ootball Club to bepresented, at the annual meeting in theLabour Hall next Monday night, statesthat despite the depressed conditions ofthe recent seasons the club has steadilyimproved, and ;s iv a better-financialposi-tion now than during the past few years.

Three teams were entered in the com-petition at the beginning of the last-sea-son, but it was found necessary to with-draw the third grade team at the end ofthe first round. The senior team had aremarkable season, winningthe champion-ship shield, the. Alf' Williams Rose Bowl,and the Auld, Memorial Cup. . The juniorA team was also Very' successful,losingthe championshipby only two points from.Marist..but winning the Challenge Chip.;It is hoped that during the coming

season the club will be able to field moreteams, and the committee would ■like ■tosee some of the older players taking akeener interest in the boys' teams.1I The report records' that' the. member-ship ;is increasing, there being a littleover a hundred on the list. " '.'■-.

Through the death of Mr. A. ("Sandy")Cameronlast November the club lost oneof its. most ardent workers. 'LOCAL MANAGEMENT

KIRK-WINDEYER CUP

STORM RISKS

NOTES, There has been a considerable amountof comment upon the selection of theNew Zealand Kirk-Windeyer Cup team,but those who have' mentioned theclaims of various golfers are overlook-ing the fact that no team has in factyet been selected. ■ It was necessary!to assure the presence in Auckland attha time of the cup contest of sufficient'players to formthe.basis of a team. Itwill be noted that up to the present theGolf Council has not announced its finalteam. It was doubtless anxious to,secure, the later information: regard-ing form which will be furnished bytheAuckland provincial tournament priorto the Kirk-Windeyer 'contest, beforemaking a' final selection. No team willbe picked, apparently, until afterEaster,' and it is; probable that thecouncil, in inviting the golfers men-tioned to indicate their willingness toplay, were anxious only to secure theirattendance ■at Titirangi. Golfers ..whoattend both- the Titirangi provincialtournament and the KirfeWindeyerCup at Middlemore, will find the elevendays theyspend in Auckland somewhatexpensive, and the probability is thathad.not the council given some indica-tions and had it relied on' picking ateam on Titirangi performances (whichwill be a goodtest of form) it mightnothave had the opportunity of examiningthe form of the nien mentioned. As itis,~ other golfers at Titirangi, where itis anticipated the Australians will par-ticipate, may show up so well in actualplay"against thb visitors that some ofthe nominated Now Zealanders may bebumped out.;. It;; will'be rememberedthat on one former occasion an Austra-lian Kirk-Windoyer Cup team was con-| siderably- and unexpectedly modified.The same is quite possible, evidently,with the personnel of the New. ZealandI team not yet definitely announced.I 1orm at Titirangi.will evidently pickIthe team. ■ 'The prospect of theNew Zealand andNew South Wales' golf teams competingin_ the Auckland provincial champion-ships'at Titirangi at Easter is increas-ing tho .interest in this meeting. Playwill start'on Easter Saturday, March31, arid continue'over- the' followingMonday and Tuesday, and tho fact thatthe team from across the'Tasmau willarrive on March' 27,,practically ensuresthat it will compete at Titirangi. TheEirk-Wirideyer Cup contest, to- beplayed at Middlemoro on April 6 and -7,is the mission of the visitors, arid, therewould still be time after the .Titirangichampionships for them to gain know-ledge of Middlemoro conditions. aftercompeting on: the other course. It isprobable,;.too, "tKat the Now Zealandteam will assemble at Auckland in timeto compete at Titirangi. The presentholder of the Auckland .provincial, titleis' B. M. Silk, who won the' champion-ship at Middlcmore last year.

METHODIST CHURCHBIBLE IN SCHOOLS

,LAY PREACHERSThe Bible-in-Schools movement was ths

cussed at the Methodist Coufciente jesterday. 'The Key. L. M. Is>itt eaid that 70,000children in the Dominion weio receiv-ing, no religious training'whatever. Inhis opinion, the lack of Bible teachingwas at the root of many of the evilsthat challenged the eeiious attention ofthe; churches.

The Rev. O. Blumires, oiganising sec-retary of the Jeaguo, said that the Nelsonsjstcm applied to less than 20 per centof tho schools of the land, and whilethat -was tho best that could be achievedat picscnt under the secular extern, itshow bo remembered that althoughKivcn in schopl buildingsit was not givenduring school hours. " , ' ,

Tho following resolution -was passed:—That this conference(1) Reaffirmstho

necessity of'having tho Bible broughtinto the schools of the Dominion assoon as possible; (2) recommends to thoattention'of ministers and congregationsthe.officialcommunications of the leagueas pointing'theway to the developmentof an enlightened public opinion on thequestion; (3) learns with pleasure of themci casing number- of our ministers con-tacting Bible lessons in State schoolsunder the Nelson system' to meet tboneeds, and urgesthe passing of tho Biblc-in-Schools.Ennbling Bill. We ah>o uigethe support-of all day conventions inJtyaj\ That tbo conference expresses itskeen appreciation of the work of theH<>n._li. M. Isitt and the llev. E. 0.Blamircs,-organising secretaiy of theleague. , . -

_It' was decided that the work of layprcachcifl should be the subject of in-quiry by a commission during the cur-rent year. The personnel of the com-mission will comprise an.equal number ofministers an.d lay preachers, the latter.'to oe-appoipted by the association execd-, tive,. J.he report of the commission willbe referred to the district synods andthe .Lay Preachers' Association for sub-m^tlon to tue llext confeieiico.The privilege of direct representation atConferencewas sought by theLay Preach-ers Association,and this is beinggianted,the'representative to be (as provided bytho association's constitution) the prcsi-

aL ii5 0r the timebeinS °f the association.Ti iii ?nmi?1 mcctinS ot the associationheld during<the present conference Mr WS. Alackay, Auckland, was elected 'liresi-dent. ._ ,

The., presentation of a certificate recog-msing his service as a lay preacher of 34years'Standing was made during the con-icrence session yesterday-to Mr. R. Old-ham,who is also accredited to representthe association at the confeiencoof theBritish Association of Lay Preachers dur-ing his forthcoming visit to Eugland.

' Cossum,J. Southern, ]?. T„ Harris TeTuhi Heretini.Many referenceshave been made duringthe'■presentconference to tho sense of theJoss sustained by the whole1 church in'thedeath of tho first-named,of these,tho Rev.b. Lawry, 'who had served the churchvith conspicuous devotion and ability, as

a minister with 50 years' service,-and as'secretary for 16'years of an importantcommercial department. /:

'{he progress."of the Methodist.'Men's'fellowship Movement >in the Dominion!■was outlined by Mr/Wi S. . Mackay in*presenting tho annuarieport oFtho execu-tive. He indicated that the branches, of'the movement now numbered)'43/ -and

' other men's societies of a kindred nature

"INEXPLICABLE"TAXI' HITS CAR

''jlnexplicable"was tho'word Mr. J.G. L. Hewitt, S.M., applied to a col-lision; at Taita on January 11, whentho case arising out of it cavno be-fore him in the Lower Hutt Court yes-terday. Loslio John Reid, a taxi-driver,"was charged with negligent driving.Senior-Sprgeant C. E. Roach prose-cuted, aud Reid conducted his own de-fence. 'V ' 'Norman Georgo Rayner, a farmer, ofCartoiton,'said that at about 2 p.m.'1on January 11, ho pulled his car up atthe'side of'the road for about five to.eight minutes. There was anothor car'-approaching him,' but thcro was room Ifor two cars to pass abreast of his,«ai. Suddenly^he was struck in tho'Teai, and carried along for about sixty ipaces. Ho and. his son wcro shaken,iTho defendant, who was a taxi-driver,'(.me up to him and said he thoughtiliis (Radnor's) car wns moving. ,

Ernoßt 'Marryatt, a schoolmastei,"-.aid he was driving towards Raynor 'a's-tationary car when-he sawReid's taxi:^iikc it. There was mo icason why|Reid should have done'so-.

(J&nstable R. G. Jones stated that1"both cars vrero badly damagod. Twopassengers' in the taxi -were badly in-jured, and, Reid received cuts andiLrnises. , t , IThe explanation givon by Reid, was■that ho thought Raynor's "car waslmoving, and,'to'"avoid a1(possible col-,hsion -with^the approaching car, ,howanted to keep behind tho car m'front. » , I

The .Magistrato 'said he could notI"nndoista.n,d.liow Rpifl. <>had como ttoistrike Raynor's car—the accidont wasinexplicable to him. Tho defendant'liad incurred expenses, so howould'onlyfine him, Is, as tho total costs of thecaso to him would bo £5 3s. I

Mr. Toibcs, who hasjustreturuod from thoRotorua distiict,was diivcn over 12 miles of tho areawhach comprises 22,300acres.Sinco tho estate was acquired earlyin 1931, 3439 acres havo been laiddown in new pasture. Many miles ofroads havo been formed and motallcdnumerous shelter bolts of trees havoboon planted, 32'miles of piping inconnection with water icticulatiou ser-vices have been laid, and over a dozencottagos havo either been built or.arein. course ofjorection.

'The station stock includes 14.000sheep, 7000 lambs, ICOOheavy cattleand 480 calves. Tho estato has boonhandled'so1 nsMto' dovolop "pastures ofdairying standard,and nt thesametimeit has boen run as a station in such amanner as to enSuroa maximum returnfor tho money-invested by tho State.

EXPERIMENTAL DAIRY FARM.A compichensive developmentschemehas boon put in hand, tho operationsbeing carried out by thoDepartment ofAgnculturo in collaboration with theLands Department. During tho currontseason one of tho newly-giassed sec-tions was established aa an experi-

mental dairy faun under tJio fieldsdivision of tho Dcpaitmont of Agri-cultuio.^ This farm- is typical of thoZA sections being offcicd almost im-mediately for solection, and the opera-tions aim to demonstrate the bestmothod *"of' controlling 'pastuic underdairying conditions.. This season's woolchp^ was markotcd in?a satisfactoiy con-dition ana realised most eratifvintrprices. ■' i ' ' fa

An aron. of .about 670 acres sub-divided into 23. farms will bo offeredfor selection in April. When openedthe sections "will have 'been grassed andfonced, and some will havo buildingson thorn. The.farms will range in areafiom 100 to 150 acres. Tenders havobeen let for the erection of ton cot-pages^ on alternate sections', and wateris being laid on the homestead site ofeach section.

Cultivation, of furthpr areas is pio-eeeding steadily, and 'it is hoped tooffer 35 sections early in 1935 and asomewhat similar'number in succeed-ing years until the whole estate hasbeen settled. " " l

Expenditure on tho estate up to Do-comber 31, 1933, totals" £55,800. "-Inaddition to>tho station' staff, about 50men on. the average havo . boon em-ployed on tho development work con-tinuously.After tho insp'eetion Mr. Forbes saidGalatea was a very fine property in-

deed, and would make a fino settlement.The area was flat, and lent itself toeasy subdivision and the installationof a gravity water supply. Tho landwas eminently suitable for dairying,and grass and turnips giew in abund-ance. ~ . i : "

Tho prospects^ for"tho-nowwere excollent.'The nouscsj which woniacost £350 to -£400 v.e\ch,'woro'"roomyand comfortable,'and tho Condition oftho \Btqck 'provided evidence of thecarrying- capacity,, of the land.

COMPANY'S AFFAIRS

SOUGHT

SHAREHOLDERS' DISPUTE

"An injunction.1to restrain Traneis G.

Galvin, Bernard A. Guise, and Jos^p^iH. Walker, directors of Eubberi Distri-butors, Ltd.3rom excluding the plain-tiffs from the board of directors andfrom holding themselves;out as beingconstituted.;tho';sola directors' of the

company, was sought by John Duff,Iteinteth J; Duff, Edward Jack, andWilliam Jack, shareholders in the com-pany, at the:Supreme.'Court yesterday.The i motion Svas neatd'-Viy the CUietJustice (Sir;Michaci;Mycrs). -^Mr N. A. Fpden, who appeared forthe .plaintiffs, said that the company,so far as its managementwas concerned,had had rather .a -chequered;career.There were really two factions m thecompany,the plaintiffs on one side andthe defendants on the other. The cul-minating point was reached on Septem-ber 1 of last year,'when a meeting washeld to consider the question of appoint-ing four additional directors to thethree already, acting., The plaintiffs,who represented a majority of theshares and desired-to-have the poweron the board of directors; alleged thatthe three ■defendantshad deliberatelyleft the meeting in order to destroy thequorum. It was provided in the Com-panies Act that no/business was to betransacted at any general ■ inciting ofa companyunless the requisite.quorumwas present at the commencement ofthe business. It was submitted that-asthe quorum 'was present at the,, com-moncement of the meeting, shareholderselecting to leave the meeting wai\edtheir rights and could be taken to haveno objection to the business goingthrough.

NO USE SQUABBLING.Hi's Honour said that'it was no use

sh.li cholders m such a compiny squabblmg in this way, because in the longrun it would do neither of t.lio partiesany good. Ho suggested th.xt counselmighturge the partips to appoint tlnecdirector each,and appoint as chhiiuianan nccouritaut or. business man in whomthey both had,confidence.

Mi. Fodon said that he appieciatcdthe suggestion,.

His Uonoui said that ho "would hearwh.it counsel hud to ■say,expressing noview, and as far. as possible concealinglus opinion. He would then resetvc hisdecision and gue tho parties an opportunity 'of making some anangementuhicli i\ould avoid all this difficulty bet-necn tho factioiisf aii(ly possiblj aioidlwhat, in certain circumstances,and ifhe decided in a certain way, might—andhe thought almost ccitainlywould—ultimatoly bring about the dissolution oftfie companywith possible andpiobablcloss to all the shareholders.It was contended by Mr. M. O. Bar-

nett, who appeared for the defendants,that tho puttingof the resolution to ap-point additional directors constitutedthe commencement of the business, andthat at that tune there was not aquorum present. It was further sub-mitted that tho resolution was liualidbecause it would involve an alteiatiouof the company's aitides, and a specialresolution was requued.

After hearing legal argument, hisn«nour said that unless both partiesacted with a certain amount of le.ison-abloness, a deadlock would bo reachedbetween thoin, \\lnte\or the indgmentwas now, with the inevitable lesiilt thatone sidy oi the othei would move tofoico the compnnyinto liquidation.Thecompanywould no doubt be liquidated,and all ptitics'would lose some, if notall, of tho capital in the business.His Honom lesened his decision, inoidci to givo counsel an opportunityof bringing both parties togcthei. Hosaid that he dul not propose- to rescivehis decision indefinitely, for if thepaities had any intention of being ica-sonahle it should not take Ion? to sohcthe difficulty.

Turrell said that whenthe proper time arrived the employers'rcpiesentahves would rrpoit to a geneial meeting of cmployeis and icceivctliLir instructions. In such matters mthe past it hadbeen the custom to dele-gate the necessary authority to thechanman ot the Ijoaidand thc*c\pcutiveofficers so lli.it they could act withtho other oinplovris on any agreementthat was leached

WOODVILLE MEETINGCOPPER KING'S MAIN' RACE

POOR LOT SENT TO POST(Special from "Rangatira.")

P.\LMEBST,ON N., This Day.The defectionof Tiger Gain and Rust,

as well as of Thrasher,reduced the Wood-ullc Handicap, the principal event atthe Woodvillc District Jockey club'sAutumn Meeting yesterday, to a verysecond-rate field o£ five runners, and thebetting pool slumped accordingly, ln-\estors Eeized on Veitigern, with"]} H"Moiris aboard,as the best of the poor lot^but the vcteian, though the' race wasinn fairly well to suit him, was unable■to accept the opportunity. The winnerturned up in the track-trained Copper,King, who has been out only occasionallythis reason, and was registering his firstsuccess lor the term.

Copper King went rather an unusualrace, but his young rider (W. K. Pine)bliowcd good judgment in a crisis andreaped the benefit. When the field settleddown it looked as though Copper Kingwas going to try for an all-the-way vic-tory, but near the sis furlongs Chopinranged up alongsidehim and offered iightPine, after hesitatingfor half a turlong, de-cided to decline,and Chopin went awaytoa couple of lengths' lead. Running downto the straight Pine began to send CopperKing along again, and, passing the leaderjust before reaching the stretch, he wentto a clear advantage a furlong and a halfout and easily held on to a two lengths'margin to the post, i

The winner is a four-year-old son ofNigger Minstrel, and he has proved a ufc-ful middle-distance performer during thelast tnehe months,even though his ap-pearances ha\e been occasional only. Heis owned,by Mr. iT. McKelvie, the presi-dent ot thu ]{angitikei Kacmg CJub,andhis lasfsucqes"'jraa'ih the I'oxtou Handi-cap at the baclc end 'of List season. Re-cently he-ian a good" second to Forestiyat Awapum, and he {wenta fair race be-hind the places in the Ashhurst Cup lastmonth.

Emotion, once again asked to tackle amiddle difitanceT failed once more to <lobetter than second.! Ho was always in apood portion, and I he. w&s up a handythud almost on~ tcims vith Chopin atthe straight"entrance, but he'lacked theability to coruo, on 'from there as a ti tiestaMng horse1 would. Vcrtigern mightha\e been suited by a slightlyfaster pace.but except for this ho had evoryobviouschance. He may1 be a better second-dayhorse at present,'though li is1 possible hewill uot now stage* the hoped-for>come-back. Chopin went a fair lace to finishright up fourth, and now that it is autumnhe mayaeturn shortly to the winninglist.Flower is not lacing anything liie shedid a jear ago. i

NO ERROR THIS TIME

SANGUINE KING'S SUCCESS

CLEAR-CUT VICTORIES

SanguineKing, twice beaten into secondberth in final events at Woodville in De-cember,r made no error about the Presi-dent's Handicap, yesterday's concludingevent. Moving into the"start he jumpedout immediatelyto'the,lead and nothingever caught him. Speed was tho mostserious challenger he had to keep at bay,but he was' Hot}'hard pressed to do sojand he "came omto score decisively by agood two' lengths.

The. winner has been somewhat unluckynot to have done better than he has'thisse.ison, for he has had to be satisfied withminor places on numerous occasion*. Herecently won'at five furlongs at Ashhurst,but he is at his best at louger distances,preferably seven furlongs or a mile. Yes-terday's was actually his first -success iri|open company,but it'was quite well an-ticipated, as he was backed down to aIgood third-favourite:, Speedimight been an' unlucky runncrj but.'hei'.wouldi have .found the winnertough to beat in any ease.VHe missed tiejump-ouffrdni'the'railposition, and-hadto .be' bustled along-for run 'up"on theinnerof the bunch1before it closed over onhim.

DOUBLE FOR MR. tURRiEThough most of the victories in the

minor,events at Woodville yesterday wereclear-cut,the-.racing was always interest-ing, and a really good day's fare was pro-vided for1 the very satisfactory attendanceof the public that patronised the meeting.The favourites had' only a fair innings,but none of the dividends were very big.The'return-to single-pool betting appearedto find general commendation,and wasprobablyresponsible for theismall increasein turnover, the first registered at anymeeting in-the Dominion/for three weeksor more....■ ■ ~ . ' . ,

TaSHHURST FORM PREVAILS.Ashhuvst novice form proved the domi-natingfactor in the Mafden Stakes. Puke-

hou;who finished-second tojTycoon on thatoccasion,was"'hiade a' better -favouritethan Treasure Hunt, but after having allthe best q£ the running she went down toLady Ina.thethird horse at Ashburst,whoimproved throughout the race and Scoreddecisively.. ■'"-■"■:'. '"".".

Lady Ina, fifth selection at a handyprice, drew the outside marble of thefull Held of sixteen that vent to the post.An excellent start was effected,but.itwas some time after they settled down be-fore Lady Inabegan to show up. Alwaysout oil the track she was already up withHard Times following Abbey i'eale undPukebou at the straight enhance, and shecame home full of running to boat Puke-hoii by a couple of lengths.

This three-year-old winner is a bay fillyby Cape Horn from the Bezoniau mareKakawai, the dam: also o£ Ladyfingersand Sir Wai, and she is evidently goingtobe useful,'for--she-bag hud only four orfive starts; todate.- .Shewas bought fromher breeder (Mr. W.

THE BAND CONTESTFIRST A GRADE TEST

SOME MAGNIFICENT PLAYING

A HIGH STANDARD

; The 1031 New Zealand championshipbi.us. band contest lcdchcil the half-waywalk last evening when the fiiot of theA grade tests was plajed in the Townft ill. "Princess Nada," the test selec-tion, is an original work of much merit,from the pen of Denis Wright, and makesmany demands upon a. band. That thestandard of pcifonnance by practicallynil the competing bands hist evening wasto high is 6ti iking evidence of the greatimprovement which has taken place inband plajing, and training, dming thepast few years.

No points,,or plaeings, w»'e announcedlast evening. The judges dccibion -willhe communicated at the conclusion of thesecond test on Fiiday evening. A not-ablo absentee last evening waib the Wool-bton Band. Many years have passed sincethis champion Christchurchband failed!to'■ carry,off honours at the: annual cham-pionship contests. Its absence this yearis due to the fact that it will >bo travel-ling to Melbourne later in the year tolepresent New Zealand at the MelbourneCentenary celebrations.

COMMENTSON PERFORMANCES.The draw was as follows, with briefcomments on performances:—■ Queen Alexandra's Own.—This splendid

combination gave 9 masterly interpreta-tion, and secured the full range of effectpossible from a well-trained band withcompetent solo leads. A slight bleak inthe comets in the eaily part of the piece■h.w flic >only noticeable fault. The forteJxissages were magnificently taken andconect values given the scoring.

' Wellington Municipal Tuumvays.—Thepjajing of this band was chaiaeterised byvividness 'of interpretation and excellentholo work, although thel intonation wasnot as good as that of the Queen Alex-andra Band. The ensemble tone was lessVeil compacted. Better light and shade,however,w.i.s appaicnt. Cornetsand tiom-, bones wcie splendid. The middle sectionof the band seemed a httlo unceitainat ■time's.

Timaru Municipal—Another1 notable pcr-foimauce,especially in the opening move-ment. A slight -lack of confidencewasapparent at times. The full band ensemblewus well intoned,with great care in phras-ing. -.-.'-Nelson Garrison.—Theconcerted workwas satisfying, but the opening solo woikwas baldly, up. to, the standard alreadyset.j Bright and free ensemble,-with greatvolume. .Band finished strongly and'shouldscore well. 'Auckland Waterside Workeis.—Themusicianship and individuality evidencedby this band in the hymn test was fullysustained in its interpretation. Splendidtempos and nice regard for pauses, withconfident &010work, made this readingas coherent ,as any.

Haweia Municipal.—This newcomer toA grade contest work put up a workman-like job, although the intricacies jof thescore atj times made exacting demands.''Intonation'Was,faulty arid tempos 'wereat, times ragged. The march and finaleHoctibns were well done,

Palmerston North Garrison.—Anotherfinc'-TCiiding -was' offered in which, inter-'csff w'as^ufitained-by the well-executedclimaxes. ■ Intonation was good and all"sections of the,band played well. In-consistencies were apparent in the middlesections of the selection.. Wanganui Garrison.—Aconfident,mu^i-cianly interpretation.marked this perforrii-Jincfc'throughout;" .The cornet, wqrl< wassplendid,'and-, all soloSiwere .beautifullyplayed." vThe-'ensemble'was of'rich'qualityand well rounded. '■

InvcrcargiU Civic.-sAnother sound inter-piotation,-but .discipline could have-beenimproved. .jSolo.work'Vas, accurate'';andfull band satisfying, but' not' of the qualityof some of the earlier performeis.'".PortNicholson"ijnstified cxpectatipns" in

among" -the -prize-winners.

"* /JUDGE'S' t)OMMENTS.s |■ At' theconclusion "of the test the judge.'Captain Buckley,l 'informed "Tho Post's"representative that the playingthroughoutI,had been of a very high standard. Three ijbands'in particular had given magnificent'renditions. One of them was equal totho best standard which could bo heardin any pnrt of-the woild, and. tho othertwo were not .very far bohincl. Ono or'two of the Contestantshad not clone tooveil, but probably they had not thancees-fiaiy experience. Tho standard in general"uas 6erfainly -much higher than was "thecase at contc6ts a icw years ago.'

The meeting whichapplauded the sentiment would haveapplauded it still more heartily whentheir guest had had his say.

The national lecoveiy of -\\hiclifeince Much, 4 .last the worldhas heai'dfar more than it ever hoardof'Britain's is "of a very' differentcharacter. The American effort isfar'more' spectacular, and 6110 reasonis ilinttlt.is primarily iho effect of asingle; leader1,whofrom' the- momentof, Jakirig office'rVveulecf a, greatnesspreviously un&ußpcctetL even by,, Jiisintimate and'revealed-it ina dramatic Nfasluon which made animmense addition to his power.. Butthere is anotherelementwhich makesa ;"; less*, satisfactory' contributionlo the- sp'ectaeulqrily of PresidentRoosevelt's, effort. If it is highlyspectacular1, it ib also highly specula-tiyo. **A majestic gamble" was" theterm appliedby'not unfriendly criticsin his own country to the latest phaseof it which, opened with his New'Year's Message to Congress, it Jamajestic in its courage, in its energy*and in1 its scope, but-it*is also agamble. The New Dealer- himselfdoes not know what is goingto hap*pen/next. ,Ho cannot., say to ihodollar, "I have piped,unto you, butyou,have not danced,",forit has beendancing fast enough, and if thedance has not,been to his time andlune the musician has surely onlyhimself to blame. Whilo both thedollar and the franc continue to playthe fool, sterling, as Sir John says,"is the only cunency today that canbe relied upon to any extent what-ever." What a contrast to the con.ditionsof August, 1931!

If AmericaVspectaeuhtrand specu-lative programme is quitein keeping with the character of thonation, Iho contrasted methods ofGreatBritain are also in strict accoid-ance witli her .own temperament andtraditions. For "spectacular andspeculative" she has 'substituted"slow but suie." She has stuck totho- old motto and kept hi themiddleofthe road. The spcclaculai element

was not entirely-wanting when; ohSeptember 10, 1931, a crippledChancellor of the Exchequer hobbledinto the House of 'Commons, withthe help of two slicks in order toshow how by extra taxation andeconomics tho threatened deficit: of£170,000,000could bo met, stam-peded the House into' enthusiasm byhis ruthless proposals and won thecheers of the very'^nen on whom themain burden of the new taxes wouldfall. The record majority of about550 which was given 10-tho"NationalGovernment at the polls on October27 was also in a sense spectacular,and so were those almost incredibletaxpayers whose eagerness on NowYear's Day to pay. their increasedtaxes before the due date had to berestrained with the help of ihe policeby the formation ofqueues! But allthese spectacular elements, such asthey were, were merely incidents ofthe nation's steady, doggedmarch tosafety along the very centre of thepath of duty;;;jlt was indeed, as; Sir John Alleninsisted, a nation's march..' Britain,of course, owed much to wise andgrave,leadership, but 'she had noRgosevalt, and indulgedin no "bally.hbos :^nd her wonderful recoverywas;;nhainly a triumph of the rank""f^&V She stopped spending morethan slie was earning, she stoppedpaying working expenses out of■capital, she balanced: her Budget,arid instead of. a deficit of£170,000,000is now. expecting a sur-plus of millions. Her credit-is com-pletely restored and is 'now secondto none. She has become once morethe financial centre of the world andthe centre also of its hopes for peaceand prosperity. ■....' ■ ', :

BARRIER TO TRADE

on the" AustralianConversion Loan prospectus^ theFinancial Editor\ ,of the v"DailyExpress" submits that theconversionoperations and th*e depreciation ofthe Australian pound, with the sub-sequent locking-up of large amountsof British m6ney?m;Australia, havemeant afyeryrealjsacrifice to a,largebody of iiivestoi's. Tho sanie sub-mission could be made .willr,regardto New Zealand, except that thisDominion has been unable to makean equal saving by loan conversion,as loans have not matured conveni-ently. "The...': British,', investor inAustralian and New Zealand publicloans-raised in London has certainlynot suffered through depreciation,but .holders of investments domiciledin' the Commonwealth and theDominion have been unuble to ob-tain the return of their money with-out heavy- loss. arid the factIthat tradepreferences have permittedAustraHa to accumulate' v substan-,tial balance of funds in London aiereasons, as ,the "Express" pointsIput, for rovising-ihe exchange rale,fho favourable Australian tradebalance is quoted as around£40,000,000.Now^Zealand's posi-lion is, proportionately, just as fav-ourable. It can be taken as proved,therefore,thaftho depreciation is nolonger needed to correct an adveisctrade balance. It was never soneeded for New Zealand.

,' 'Sooner 'or* later the accumulationof London;funds 'will force a re-vision of therate. This is especiallyso with New Zealand, where theGovernment has taken the responsi-bility of paying the price, and mustface, 'an increasing flouting debt.Apart from this compulsion whichtoll come from trado conditions, jus-tice to the British exporter and thelocal,consumer calls for relief fromthis handicap. The depreciationmay be:vcgarded as affording publicrelief.-from fixed charges. RecipientsofJtaterest, -salary, and wages urcpnid-iju;depreeialecl pounds, withouttheexporters' opportunity of recoup-jng'themselves for the loss. Butdirect reductions have also beenmade., From receiving 5.V per cent,in(, sterling, the local "debenture-holder has been reduced to accept*1ing 4 per cent, in pounds woith only16s sterling. How and when is re-lief to be given? Our own Govern-ment appears to have no plans—ex-cept to pass' the problem on to the,Reseive Bank.

The effect on Biitish trade is dis-lcgcirded. " In his recent statementon the question of tariff revision theMinister of Finance declared thatthere was a clear distinction betweentho tariff and tho quota problems.Previously he had said the same con-cerning the quotaand exchange. Asproof he quoted the explicit refusalof tho British Government to guaran-tee unrestrictedentry of,our primaryproducts in return for drastic tariffrevision..,But thisdoes not cover thewhble^ground,. ,The Ottawa Agree-ment.guaranteed us-freo entry forcertain-products and preferentialtreatment..for.others."in return fortariff concessions.' Incidentally, Mr.Coates did not mention our under-taking to abolish primage, on Britishgoods'when financial conditions per-mitted.. Clearly tariffs and quotaswere not distinct when the Empiredelegates,met, at Ottawa,and theycannot bo distinct now. Britain maynot bb prepared to tie herself to aguarantee of unrestricted entry; butwo do not doubt that she is pre-pared to .negotiate concerning allfactors bearing on trade as she didat Ottawa. Exchange at present isprobablya much greater,handicap toBritish business than the NewZealand tariff.

SHIRTS AND PUBLIC PEACE

1 "Provocativeeffect" of thowearingof uniforms in public by politicalparties is beingstudiedby the BritishHome Secretary, in order to :deter«mino whether' the wearing of suchuniforms should be prohibited or re-,stricted. The "provocative effect"of the street speaker has been undernotice for generations, but the cor-responding effect of a uniform wornby a number of people in the streethas claimed special study since theIItalian black shirt has led to imita-

tions in.various other countries. Thesilent appeal of what a man wearsmay be even more eloquent—or, tostick to the text, provocative—thanwhat he says. Moreover, if a soap-box, with one speaker on it, isknocked over in the street the fracasmay possibly end there; but whena black shirt, or a blue shirt, or aCasement shirt, or a red shirt isknocked over, the affair is hardlylikely' to end there, for probablyother shirts are close by, and thewearers thereof are apt to intervene.Testing this matter by statistics, onefinds that in Britain the second halfof the year 1933 recorded twice asmany "disturbances" as were re-corded in the fir^t half of the year—that is, "disturbanceswhich the policeattributed to the wearing of politicaluniforms." Thus it is feared that,whereas the police uniform broughtpeace to the streets, the political uni-form brings strife. A modern Carlylecould write a new book on the phil-osophy of clothes—on the powerfulinfluences that can be exercised oncrowds by. .what people .Wear. Alsoby wh'a'rpeopie' do riot wean for inrecent years the Sydney police hadto intervene when a man in a bathingcpstume paraded the streets as asimple lifer. Some "people borrowimportance only from their clothes;some only from scantiness thereof.How odd to think that the publicpeace depends on things like that!

MECHANISED ARMYTHE "UTILITY TRACTORS"

SERVICE WITH INFANTRY(From "Thi Pests* RiprMintatlyt.)

LONDON, January 19. ;As a result: of last' Bummer's trials

of tho now "utility,tractors," a consid-erable nuuiber'of. these machines arclikely to be.provided for tho infantry,writes the ,;niiiitary correspondent oftho ''Daily: Telegraph.",'

Experlenco,has shown;where variousimprovements were needed, especially'in.tho axlos and wheels of tho limberswhich they haul, and those should nowgivo still:greater; satisfaction.

They are virtually , "inochanlsoadraught horses" of greater ' practicalcapacity than a four-horse toam forhauling machine-gun and ammunitionlimbers across country.. Although un-armOurod, those little ninchinos arcmuch less vulnerable than a team ofhorses, being less visible : an,d moreagile., :."";,■ *.:.;,,"-■' .-,-.-

Anothor advantago is that when aninfantry battalion is ombusscd, ns it sooften is nowadays,; its transport cankeop paco with it, instead of followingat a long interval.:, Tho utility tractorjustifies its name byits ability servomany:purposes , and to be hitched toany kind of wagon or cart.

Tho ono danger of this now dovolop-ment, howovor, is that its enthusiasticreception may secure tho need for someform of "armoured" Are tiupport withthe attacking\ infantry. The modernfast tank fulfils.'the offensive role ofcavalry with decisive effect, but it isnot suited to close co-operation withtho infantry. On all sides one hoars agrowing demand fov an "Infantry tank"to cover?tho advaneo of tho infantry-man on foot.

The Oardon;Loyd annourod machine-gun carrier, as used in the past fouryears, was ablo to play this part to afair extent. It mighthave done moreif.it had not been hampered by a cum-bersomo trailer, and by rather theo-retical rules which circumscribed itsuse. If tho armoured machine-guncarrier is discontinued, at ia rum-oured, and no substitute provided, thoinfantry will Ipso on the swings whatthey_ gain on the roundabouts. ._

TAXATION LAWSA COMPLEX SYSTEM

NEED FOR REFORMPOSITION IN AUSTRALIA

(From "The Pojt't" Representative.)SYDNEY, February 15.Australia is famed for .many things;

but particularly the complexity of itstaxation-laws. This may be describedas ono of tlio evils of federation and.ono of tlio fruits of tho policy of giv-ing full taxation authority to the Fed-eral aiid Stato .'Governments. EachGovernment has its own taxation lawsand its own interpretation of thoselaws. Thero is overlapping in ofcrydirection,, and it is small wonder thatbig commercial concerns never knowquito whore they stand.. Tho need oftho Governments for money has madethe burden an unconscionable one. multho main reform.-..needed at. tho pro-sent day is a general ''reduction oftaxes. However, tho call upon tho-pub-lic purso seems to bo almost'as" greatas ever it was, and further belief mustpo counted among the most "unlikelyofhappenings. The next bestthing seemsto bo a-simplification, of tho law, andthat is tho burden:,of tho "report, of.tho _Roynl Commission,appointed bytho Federal Government to go into thowholo question of taxation.'.

PLEA FOR UNIFORMITY,The commission makes a plea for uni-formity in taxation laws—a generalagreement among all tho Governments'without the'surronder of any essential-principle or serious loss of revenue."When any reform or remission of -taxa-tion >is proposed to any Government theofficial objection is always tho same—that it would involve a "sorious lossof revenue." It would seem that anysimplification, to bo of any benefit totho taxpayer, must involve a certain

amount of loss,of revenue, so it is im-possible'to forecast tho fa to of tho re-commendation in this direction. Eventho report, of tho commission is so com-plicated that f.ho lay mind will findit difficult to grasp the significance ofit, nnd the Primo,Minister has an-nounced that np\nction. wijl bo takenon tho report until thp^middlo of thoyear, at least..

In an article in the "ShippingWorld" Lord Invcrforth, president ofthe Institute of Chartered Bhlpbrokorß,and formerly Minister of Munitions,champions '' pocketM: liners .of■■/moder-ate comfort operating^ hi conjunctionwith aircraft. . .^J^/'-iil'::'''.;"/;/ .

"The employment of fast vossols inconjunctionwith aircraft and tho facili-ties from tho use of wireless inall its various phases will do farimore," ho says, "towards meeting pro-jscnt-day demands for speed 5n transitthan the building of freak craft, whichbelonged to an oxtravagaut ago wheneconomic efficiency was merely' asecondary; consideration."

CORRESPONDENCELOCAL BUTTER PRICES

(To the Editor.)Sir,—Might I suggest to the conference

which Jlr. Forbes states is being set upto increase the price of dairy produce,that any forced alteration; raising pricesin New Zealand will bo generally consid-ered another bonus to dairying, especiallyif the overseas,market remains lower thanthnn the New Zealand price.If a further cost is inflicted on this

long-suffering, patient, housewife she maydecide thnt n protest is necessary,amirefuse to buy butter at v fictitious priceunless further consuming power is pro-vided in wngtis and salaries. After all,the buyer has the last word, and a highwiling price is no good if there are nobuyer*. A further subsidy of this kindmay bo the means .ofdefeating its own ob-ject, so it would be well to-be cautious.—1 am, etc.,

NEW ZEALAND DEVELOPMENT(From "The Port's" Representative.)

LONDON,January .2.'The retirement of Sir Thomas,"\ytl-

foi'd from the, offleo of High Commis-sioner proyidos tho "Morning Post"with tho tost for a leading article "ontho remarkable.development 'of.JSowZealand during. thY past sixty1! years.The writer says:— ~ " > ,

"Today Sir Thomas. Wilford,"lllahCommissioner for" Now. Zealandsince1830, lays down tho'. ofiico which" hehas filled with bucK ability, ~-> takinirwith him tho heartiest good wislics ofall tho many frionds whom ho hasmade, both in official circles and be-yond thorn. -No bettor representativecould bo found of tho character whichins within tho lifetime ,0f many liv-ing peoplo transformed a land of vir-gin forests into ono of tho most pro-gressive and ■ relatively prosperouscountries in iho world. Until 1871 pro-gresswas checked in tho North Islandby oxpensivo intermittent wars withthe Maori tribes; in the South Isluiulsheep farming and gold mining .had'stimulated dovolopmont, but it was nottill the sixties that oxternnl" t'radobegan expanding'by leaps and bounds.'.'Tho sentioth anniversary lssuo oftho 'Now Zealand Herald' graphicallydescribes tho stato of tho country whenthe paper wns foundod in Auckland in1803. Tho Waikato War was in fullswing and, in tho face of tho Nntivohostility, 'an inclination was takingshape to abandon tho development ofthe province and to leave to' oush andfern tho greater part of the NorthIsland.' ,

"Fortunately, theso counsole of de-spair did not succeod. ' Thousands ofBritish and colonial troops, reinforcedby tho famous Corps of Forest Hangers,led by Jackson and yon Tompsky,gradually woro down tho resistanceof tho Maori warriors. i;!phon_ followedtho scarcely less fonnidnblo task ofopening up tho country..

"THEEMERGENCY IN 1935", WAR ALARMS DISTURB 'JAPANWHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS

(No. 9.)

(Specially written for "The Post" by J. G. Paton.) *, ' ' TOKIO,January 10."We must picpare to face the national emergency in 1935. .., All efforts must be strained lo face ihc clanger ahead of the nation

| " . . The year of trial is coming . . . national emergency . .prepare . . . nation's destiny. . . ."

Tick up any Japanese newspaper,Any daj-| and you aro nlmo.st certainto find one of thoso phrases. Head■(ha New Yoar statement of any of■the Ministers—not tlioso especiallystnt to New Zealand, but tlio nationalmessages—and emorgeucywill either .bojfiinted or openly--stated,-generally the'latter.. 'The peoplej with a few shrewd cs-

«eption_s—ono of the most noted ofwh6m is tho iformer Foreign Minister,Baron Shidora—have become firmlyconvinced that Japan, next year, orthe year after, will confront a na-tional emergency of the first magnitude.

Tfio foreign visitor cannot but helpfeeling that the- cry is being ov'crdone,no matter how innocent Us-moaning.

In fact,' I believe that the greatestdanger to future Japau is not anyemergency confronting hor, so much aathe talk of that emergency.

How far that danger affects the icstof tlio world depends on what thepspectcd emergency is, and to what o,v-tcnt Japanese leaders can control thepreparation, and the expectancy theyliatc urged on their followers.''

■ v PEAKS ANALYSED.What is this national emergency?Roughly, I think about 10.per cent,

militarism, about 20 per cout. economic,about SO per cent, cultural, and tho ro-y gaining 50 per cent.

_talk; intended

mainly for local consumption, and some-"times, talk -without even intention. But»dt f*. dangoroua. People in Japan aroprosecuted,'imprisoned oven, for "dan-geious thought." Docs Japan renliso to,-whfltat*extont tho.world regards this.■emergency psychology, as iuducivo todangeiou* thought, not only in Japan,but nmong tho people tv hear of itabroad?

U i«s producing a fear complex in;the nation. It is causing peoplo to"think that attack, in J>omo form orother, is inevitable. Everybody fcolsthat ho must preparo. for tho cmor-gency.

And a nation'has only to expect dan-ger,sufficiently tobo confronted with it.If a man thinks he is going to bo hit,his impulse is to get in first, to mag'nify an, angry word into imminontassault.

I , And with nations, especially such asensitive nation as Japan, tho naturalhtep from "twico warned is ho who isforewarned," is "twico armeM is howho gets his blow in first.". BAD PSYCHOLOGY

A dangerous'psychology for tho com-paratively few real militarists to playon. I said 10 per cent, of tho talkwas militarism. It is probably no'more. -.Even tho firebrands would'iftthecsoe Japan expand . peacefullyAnd by economio penotsation than byyt&r. ~ i. .

Bub'thel ilapancso peoplo aic'not war-like. The wan-in tho street is'as mucha lover of'Ms Home life,and his pcacoas tho average New Zealander. But hofollows tho leaders.1' And thoro aro afew real died-in-tho-wool death orjjlorymerchants—tho term can bo tnkenliterally in some cases—who wouldVltuogo into war tomorrow,- if therebythey could tarry-the flag of Nipponone league' further, preferably into.China.' ~They exist in every countty, and aroprobably, 'no, mpro representative 'ofJapan than elsewhere, but this contin-ued talk of national emergency in 1035—tho date) coincides' too. miraculouslywith the termination o& tho naval ratiotreaties—and preparedness is givingthese minority Japanese jlngoos a

power, aiid yah iamtcaee, not gcnevalljfound abroad

Twenty per cent, economic—perhapsthe flguro is to 6low, because Japanroully does, and with some reason, be-Hcvothat her struggle.lies in tho realmof finance and trade. Higher tariffsagainst he? exports,, arguo manyleader's, can bo overcome only byharder work on the t>art of the people.

JAPAN NOT SURE.Japan, like Italy in hor oarly days,

and Germany, soino months ago, feelsit necessary to flog tho enthusiasm ofiier people, and spur them on to greaterefforts. Japan is not yet suvo of her-.-elf, and her leaders aie 'not yot suieof (heir followers.

Mussolini made far moie ficiyspeeches about the now Itoinan Empire,and blood, tlinn over did that geniallover of rhetoric', Qenoial Aiaki, siboiltemergency. Mussolini steered hiscountry clear of the implications thosospeeches often wore given abroad.Hitler beat a bigger drum still, andprobably now finds that ho cannot stoptho echoes.■ So\ Japan, today talks to her peopleof danger, and -only tho future cansay whether she will bo another Italyor another Germany.

At present sho seems pretty neartho crossroads,but, although thoie aremany characteristics sho shares withGermans—individual incompetence andmass efficiency—she has tho greateradvantage of being ablo better to con-trol tho thought she has started.

And among tho many characteristicswhich foreigners dcelavo she pliaieawith another island nation is the abilityto forget yostordny, And plan a new1to-morrow, or, as cynical foreigners putit, to chango policy, ideals, -and am-bitions-according to'circumstance, andyet rotain-the enthusiasm and tho l'aithof her -people for the now role.

The 'Jn'paneso' people have beenguided so .long, thOir iminds tutored intheir very; thoughts, that perhaps thobrainier leaders believe, it - unsafe toallow them 'too 'much mental freedom.

For if ever a peoplo, who for cen-turies 'have been inculcated with thobelief that their (-ountry is alwaysright, and has a divine mission, beginto question such a belief, the resultantreaction may swing to the other ex-treme;

■ 'ARE EMOTIONAL.Which porhaps'.also explains the 30

per cent, unadulterated tulk, for theJapanese,' contrary to, general belief,ate 'an emotional,- excitable people,fond of slogans, easily moved to musshysteria. Probably a. big proportion ofthe.national emergency talk in mere.cmotiorialism/rihat can.have little mean-ing abroad,-lint ngnhi, it is dungeious.

There' is always that little cliqueready to tako advantage Of it; thotoaVo' 'alwaysI',tho littlo fcliques abroad whoarc 'ready.to tako 'advun'tago 'of it;nnd there is always the danger thatit may 'produce such an outlook, bothon those who are told to prepare athome,, ana foreigners abroad, whowonder .what the preparation is allabout. , 'Tho racial chaiacteristics responsiblefor such propaganda, tho "writer be-lieves, aro a wholly unjustified, in-feriority complex (which,manifests it-self in artificial arrogance)} a com-plcto inability'to appreciate the thoughtof tho Tcmainder of tho world; and atoo-haphazard mixturo of now and oldcivilisation on a country that has beenfor so long geographically isolated, andis still, 'in much of its knowledge,mentally isolated.

FUTURE OF AVIATION

TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS

AIRPORTS IN CITIESAmasiag as has been tho advaneo of

"aviation In'recentyears; two major pro-blems havo not yet been practicallysblv'ed: how it> establish aerodromes inmid'Atl&ntic, and how to laud in thohearfc'of a great'city Uko New York,L6ndon, or Paris. Tho latter problemis evenmoro important,forEurope thanfor America, and moro important forUngland than for any country on thocontinental mainland, owing -to thoshorter distanco botwocu tho greatfPS!. tres of Population, states tho"Christian Science Monitor.". Birmingham And Bristol aro littlowore than a hundred miles from Lon-don, and Liverpool. Manchester, LeedsAnd Hull aro within 180 miles of theefcpltal. In such short journeys flyingoffers fflw advantages if tho travellersnnsfcspend three-quarters of an hourin motoring through the crowded sub-urbs of London to the aerodrome onthe - outskirts. Tho acrodromo forParis, at La Bourget, ia also outside-tho city, but Lyons is 300 niilos andMarseilles nearly 450 miles distant. ForBerlin tho problem is less important,its barest aerodrome being within fif-teen minutes' drive from tho heart ofthe city.I VITAL MATTER FOR LONDON.

_Since thia matter is so much moroyit&l for London' than for any othergreat town, it would seem to be her job46 make tho first big move. That istho opinion of tho City Corporation, tho,May responsible for the government of,that crowded area around tho Bank andI thft Stock Exchange. It has instructed

The maximum width is only 1000ietit, but it is held that a bridge orlanding stage running across, and for«pin« distance also by the side of thotiv«r would givo room for'lauding andtaking off.Passenger traffio t>y airlines in Andout of London has increased twenty*iold iiftee 1019—but moat of this trafflois from London to tho Continent.

LATE BONAR LAW

A MAN OF AMBITION

SON REVEALS CHARACTER(From "The Post's" Representative,)

LONDON, January 12.Speaking at a dinner of tho Authors'

Club,'Mr. llichard Law,' if.P., referredto.his lato father, Mr. Bonar Law,'andrevealed him ■inirather * now light.

''ify father is generally supposed tohavo been riither unsociable," ho saidi"True, ho eschewed society with a,big'&,' but ho was, in fact, tho mostfriondly of creatures, and. regardedeveryonewith whom ho came in contact—whether, porsonal friends, secretaries,or servants—as human, beings, eachwith somo special value. That is ratherunusual in porions in the positionwhich ho occupied.

"Another general supposition is thatmy father was a melancholy man. 1do not- beliovo ho was. Generallyspeaking, ho was an extraordinarilyhappy man. .Thoughnot o'fforveseontorbuoyant, ho had an equipoise, a mentalbalanco which amounted to happiness."It is truo ho had liis bad patches.This was because he attached an extra-ordinary, pcrfcap* extravagant valuo tohuman relationships, and whenanyoneofwhom-ho was fond died ho was throwninto utter despair. Whon my brotherwas killod and when my mother diedho had everything which reminded himof them removod out of tho way.

"Such an attitude* towards death ismoro, characteristic of primttivo. andviolent natures, and is odd in ono withouch a balanced mind."

The gonoral view that Mr. BonarLaw was an exceedingly nmbitious manwas more than confirmed. As a youngman in Glasgow ho was imbued with adesiro to enterpolitics, and was a mem-ber of tho local debating society inorder that ho might got practico inspeaking.

Ho usea,, too, to attend tho bank*ruptcy cases in which his firm worecreditors for the solo reason of hoaringhimself speak. Ho sought all thopractieo ho could in public speaking."From his earliost days," saia Mr.Law, "ho wanted to take part iagreat ovents and to take somo shareia the shaping of them."But there waa a kind of refinementin his ambition. Ho wanted to bo agreat and prominent man on Ma ownterms. Shortly before his death, in oneof his raro moments of confidence,hesasd to ma that whatever had nomo tohim in lifo ho had novor lifted a Ungorto eet It. b

"That is, unfortunately, true. Ithink if he had been a littlo bit rnovopushing and a little leas self-ottacinait would have been better for himselfaud .the country." ' ' ""

A NEW PROPOSALIn a few years water famine will beunknown in Britain. ~Evon the mostisolated spots will bo ensured "a.plenti-

ful supply of pure water at all seasonsof the year. ' , ..:

This prophecy was made by,, Mr.Thomas Lovy, ConserVtitive ,-M.P. forthe Elland Division of Yorkshire, whenlie outlined his "regional" scheme fororganising the nation's water supply. Aplan on these lines, lie predicted, waslikely, to bo instituted in' tho neareutm-c, says the London "Daily Tele-graph." ■ ;

Briefly the scheme' is to appoint're-gional committees, each responsible forthe supply in their area. Theso com-mittees would all bo supervised by ojcentral water' authority, analagous t6the Central Electricity Board, whoseduty .would be to ensure an adoquatesupply,, for .the cntiro country. ■■■'-. "Tho plan should iiot bo confusedwith the grid scheme,"1Mr.. Levy said."A grid of- pipes to convoy water allover tho country would bo much tooexponsivo to.bo practipftl.; A-., \..,-, :"Under this sclieine each ; regionalcommittee ,would make whatever " ar-rangements best suitod tho district. Insonic cases wells would bb bored,-inothers reservoirs built, according to thogeographioal conditions. ■ ' :

"Whore:wells aro■considered suitable,'tho water would bo pumped into greatstorage tanks, equipped with filteringapparatus.. The little opeii well andtho village' pump would jvaniah. :''.'lt is not always realised,that thereis no inherent -water, shortage in Bri-tain. Surface wator may dry up, asit has dbno at; thomoment^ but thereis alwayssufficient underground; Walesalone, with COot 70. inches of rain ayear, in tho mountains, could supplytho wholo country., Then there areeitios such as Birmingham, which hasavailablo 100,000,000 gallons of waterbut uses only 30,000,000. -Birminghammains could bo tapped for other partsin that area. . ."...-■ ,■:"."". \

: LACK OF DISTRIBUTION..: "Tho present trouble is duo ontirolyto lack of organised distribution, inspito of tho drought,.L6ndon, for ox-ample, has not had to ration supplies,because tliey: are properly, organised."About uinotoeu regional,committees

would bo ncedbd. Their districts,wouldbo: mapped, out'to coyer tho variouswatershed areas.■■.,"■'.-.",. . '■;. "It would bo .'.'.necessary, of course,for (ill. municipal waterworks , to ~ betaken over by tho; .central Authority:'which would,also,have to, come to termswith existing water companies. '.'!■

"When such a', scheme comes, intob.Cnig—as..l have roason. to,believe: itwill—the central authority will have,to control drainago schemes. -V- If . acopious, supply of water is, taken to thevast number oiPwatorless- houses " andfarms there must bo efficient means-oftaking, tho used water, away again.There must bo no danger of the freshwater supplies, becoming polluted."-

The; cost of*such a'sotiomb would in^all probability, bq met by;aloau.;Theo-rctical costs havoibecn worked out foran area such as that bounded by theRiver Wye on, the west, the Humboron-lho'north, and-Bristol' on'stho'sdutli.This area comprises about a third 6f IEngland, and it is estimated that i£3,000,000 would be required to pro-1vido a water supply'based on Mr.:Levy's scheme. ; . ■■■■■■-.. V ■■ ■"■'■[■:■■,"■? "'Tho schemo lias been .considered by.the Conservative .Agricultural Commit-itee, and it is understood that!the mat-1tor will bo raised in tho House ofCommons , when 'tho- Government's!£1,000,000water supply graut to localauthorities is discussed. , 'SYSTEMATIC CONTROL.

Writing to tho. "Daily■Telegraph,".Mr. .Alan Chorlton,, M.P.,-president oftho Institution of ' Mechanical En-gineers, and author of, the' "grid"schemo of water distribution, pointsout that the proposed; allotment' of£1,000,000 'in assistance of approvedachomos for aroas needing water is "at-tempting to stifle a rising and wide-spread demand by a, ready gift in orderto"retain tho existing system^-rtho oldindividualistic way of development bywhich public water supply began andhas continued in this country.

_"la it not time wo had collective con-sideration of our available supplies1nnd

their allocation for tho whole " countryby a central authority?

FLOOD LIGHTINGNEW TYPE OF LAMPLAMBTON QUAY SYSTEM

HIGH EFFICIENCYTonight and tomorrow night Welling-

ton citizens will Imvo an opportunity,of judging thoeffect'of a. new form offlood street lighting,used for the firsttime in New Zealand. " Thrco lamps ivLambton Quay, between Willis Streetand the;D.1.C..wi1l be used for the pur-pose. The installation is in the naturoof a test, arid if it;proves satisfactory,as it has done in the Old Country, theextension of the-principle right 'alongLambton Quay, may be considered. Inthe case of such installations it hasbeen found' that hi the areas affectedcar lights may lie turned off, and alltraffic' safely carried but by the floodlighting.

The lamp which is being-used consti-tutes the most' important recent advancein the technique of light . production.It is a. British development protectedby, British patents,:, and is one of .therewards of research in England in thefield of light production and distribu-tion. ;,-. ,"" .■"".; ;! ■

This new' lamp' has met with" instantsuccess in England, and already sonfo600 of its type havo been installedthere for ;highway lighting. A generaldescription of the lamp is interesting,as showing the difference there is be-tween the present-day lamp and itssuccessor. 'GLOWING GA3 MIXTURE...In the past all practical illuminants

have depended- upon ; the .radiationemitted from- heated .solids. The sun,the filament of an-eleetrie lamp, andthe gas mantle all emit, light because,and only because,they are extremelyhot. In the case of the lamps now ontest in Lambton Quay the light is pro-duced not because the gas,or vapour is

.very hot, but because it is '.'excited"electrically.- Energy is acquired by theindividual atoms owing to their col-lisions with ions and electrons, and theatoms then.release this,energy,in theform of light. -In-brief, therefore, thelamp gives its light by.the discharge ofelectricity .through ,a-, mixture of gaseswhich include;mercury vapour.

.EFFICIENT AND CHEAPER.. :Tho most important .feature of thenew lamp is that its initial efficiencyis.two and a;half times greater thanthat of a standard filiainent-type lamp.The importance of this cannot be,under-stated. In street-lighting work, for in-stance, sufficient light is required togive that degree of safety so desirableto; pedestrian and -vehicular traffic.Frequently questions of v

cost, bothmaintenance and. running, prevent theideal being attained; , In this directionalone the new lamp is-said to fulfil avery much- needed- requirement.- It isclaimed that. with . this ; - lamp nearlythree-times as; much illumination can beobtained for: exactly the same cost: ofcurrent when: using filament lamps ofequivalent .wattage consumption.- Fur-thermore,. thei:actual:burning life...ofthe ncwilampis. said to be fully 00 percent, greater :than that of. the; presenttungsten: filament lamps. '~:-..- ~ ..Nntura,lly, ;.the..application of. theselamps is not restricted to- the lightingof highwayVl Large open spaces suchas sports -fields; tennis courts, beaches,atid' swimming-poolscan nowbe lightedfor,, night-time- recreation at compara-tively little, running:cost. ' ' "' The 'eolbur of -the" light differs fromthat' of :a "monochromatic lamp, whichgives;a.blackand white effect. Withtho now lamp it will bo possible topii'ik' out all^ colours correctly with theexception of ■;red, which ' shows ,as abiowinbut' for traffic purposes the rcrlswill stiirbe sufficientlysdistinguishable.The side" sti-eots,it is anticipated; willappear black' chasms when comparedwith -Lambtpn tonight. Threetypes.offitting'have-been installed sofar, and-thesp were successfully triedouf at 11, o'clock 'last night. Thechange ov'erj if the system is 'extended,may prove of some expense, but if theadvantages" prove -sufficient more ofthese lights may■bo' installed. "' ■PLUNKET CONFERENCE

Mis. McGcorge, the picbident, btatcdthat the council had decided that' astatement should be made of the lea-sons which led to its asking foi MissPattrick's resignation. She appealedto all not to allow personal feeling tosway them., Sho was awale that manydelegates attended. because they feltan injustice .had ,been done.to MissPattnck, but she asked all to keep anopen mind.*Mr. Fell (Nelson) moved that MissPattiick be invited to be present while

the council's statement ttas heard.This was, carried. Miss Pattrickwas applauded on. entering the hall.The Minister of Health (the Hon. J.

A. Young) said: that' he dreaded lestill-considered action arising from theconference should destroy good work.If that happened the- work would be,carried on by other agencies. No Gov-ernment could,afford to allow Now Zea-land's'reputation in this field to suffei-through disputes within the society.'As^ member of the council's Advisory!Board,' he had,the utmost confidence'in the council. Its action centred ontl.r. lccognition ,of the fundamentalprinciplo1 that the servants of the or-;gatiisation should,adapt' themselves totlif>'lcsponsible executive. ,To expecttho executive to adapt itself to thedictates'of paid officcis would lead to'chaos.

_ . .The plaintiff,. in his ..statement'.'of

' The \vholeremuneration he was to receive wasestimated to produce at least £1000 ayear. "On ac.eount of certain informa-tion being -supplied- to the 'plain-tiff which was susceptible of an inter-pretation, derogatory to the integrityof- the said Investment^Executive Trustof New Zealand, Limited," said thestatement of ;claim, "tho plaintiff in-quired of"the defendant the truth ofsuch information, but the defendantvouchsafed- no satisfactory explanationand terminated the engagement of thoplaintiff with the defendant, and offeredthe sum of fi<s in lieu of notice, andrefused to pay a sum representing areasonable ■ and > proper period of 're-muneration." : '■';'■

The plaintiff: therefore sought judg-ment-against the defendant for. (a)the sum:of £300, (b) costs of the ac-tion, (c)'-..."such further or other re-lief as in the-premises may. be just."

The sum of £28 was paid into Courtby the defendant company. ■..-""-,.

" ment, some speakers vigorously op-,. posing the traffic as.subversive of

the spirit of Sunday, and opposedto the claims of worship, andothers maintaining that' the ex-cursions conferred physical benefiton those who patronised;them, andalso presented an opportunity forservice by the Church and minis-try, who could carry the messageof the Gospel to the beaches andother places of resort favoured bythe excursionists. .Among those who took the, latter

view was Mr. E. C. Clark, principal ofWesley College, Paerata, who said ifhe thought he could do any good, orreach the souls of his fellow-men byusing the trains on Sunday he wouldnot hesitate to do so.- That church people themselves wereoffenders in the matter of Sunday ex-cursions "was alleged by Mr. C. H.Chapman, Christchurch, who said hehad been informed by the Minister ofRailways that there was a public de-mand for the. trains, that they wereused by church people among others,and that as long as the demand con-tinued, the Department must endeavourto'''meet"it.

LIQUOR QUESTION"LAW BEING FLOUTED"

METHODIST VIEWS

SUPPORTING ALLIANCE

"Some pcoplo seem to think that wohave no liquor problem in New Zea-land," said Mr.' W. Dobbs,*of Christ-church,-during. ;a.. discussion.- at theMethodist Conference this morning oncertain proposals emanating ;fromthepublic questions committee. He pointedout that during the last eighteen yearsNew Zealand had. spent £127,000,000on intoxicating liquor, and during thesame period there had been ,150,000convictions-,for drunkenness,! includinghabituals. He''also asserted that recog-nised Church leaders wcro selling stuffto make home-brew which went intothe homes, and lielped'to create amongyoung people an appetite for liquor.He deplored the apathy of so manychurch people :on tho-wholO'question ofthe'liquor traffic. Ho asserted that thelaw was being floutod continually, thatgolf and "bowling pavilions were beingturned into bars in'many cases, andthat the lounges of numbers of cityhotels (Were thronged after' 0 p.m.- byyoung people.drinking cocktails. Hourged fuller support by the Church ofthe aims of the alliance.

A lady representative from a. Tara-naki circuit asserted that ;■ an evengreater incnaco to the-morals of youngpeople than some-of tho practices men-tioned by 'the speaker lay inthe increase,of,w^ne shops,.where youngwomen could procure:wino; and;biscuitsas a sort of morning snack.

YACHTING CONTROLSANDERS CUP REPORT

MANAGER'S REVIEW

A comprehensive rcpoit on tho rc-ccut Sanders Cup contest at I.yttcl-ton was presented at a meeting ot theWellington Provincial Yacht andMotor-boat Association last evening byCaptain W. J. Keane, manager of thoWellington 'cie'w. Tho result of thocontest, ho suid,.was a true reflex oftho merits of tho boats and crews dur-ing the series of races. He refcircd totho splendid condition of tho Canter-bury boat and her sails, and paid atribute to tho team-work of. her crow.What little luck thero was in'the con-test, ho thought, favoured Canterburyand was against Wellington,with Otago.and Southland about equal. Tho con-tost :would,, however, rank.as.'one ofthe most successful ever, hold/ and itwould be hard to get a bettor exhibi-tion of ono-design racing so far as theboats were concerned. Captain Koanealso praised tho 'conduct of the crewsboth ashore and afloat and tho hospi-tality accorded all the visitors, . andcommented in detail on tho perform-ance- of tho Wellington crew.

It was decided to defer considerationfor a month of the notico of motiongiven by Mr. 'Q. Tanner involvingamendments to the rules of: tho1Inter-club Cup. Clubs are to be circularisedon tho'question.

A donation of £2 12s Cd was re-ceived ifrom. tho Wellington Harbourboard. ,

A win in the combined I, '£, and- Qclass raco on Anniversary Day wasclaimed by tho skipper of tho Demonon the ground that his boat was thoonly one to sail over tho true course.Tho protest was upheld, and in viewof the circumstances,the race havingbeen sailed in squalls of rain, it wasdecidod to award consolation prizes tothe boats placed first and second re-spectively.

' Messrs. Fisher, Tanner, and Harveywere appointed a sub-committee to drawup rules for the Idle-Along champion-ship race.

The Paremata Boating Club wasgiautcd 'permission' to conduct thoEona-Jellicoo and square-bilge provin>cial championships at its Easter ic-gatta, as in previous years.

T>he Eoyal Port Nicholson' YachtC\ub is to bo approached for .the usoof its' clubroom in conuoetion with thopresentation of cups won in champion-ship rnces sailed recently under'1iHlieassociation's jurisdiction.

In regard to aprotest entered againstIho Kotai-e,'winner of vtho Inter-clubCup, on.the, ground that the boat didnot conform to the rules in Tcspcet ofher length, the association's measurersreported that tho Kotaro had beenmeasured and proved to be eligible.Theprotest, was dismissed.

A ropott from,the association's repre-sontativo on tho New Zealand Yacht-ing Council (Mr. O. A. Mollcr) on thoproceedings at the. conferenceat Lyttel-ton was not tabled, as tho minutes ofthe conference had not' yet reachedhim. " ■ cA1

HARMONY!A FEMALEPIPES IXEDEiST

ENGLAND'S WOMANCOMPOSER

(Written for "The Post" by Nellc M.Scanlan.)LONDON, January 19.

I sat with a.thousand others a"; aPoylc. luncheon at tho Grosvcnor yes-terday, and enjoyed tho bickering oftwo great musicians. . Sir ThomasBcccham,polished and immaculate, thesmooth baby pink of his face bolyiugthat tiny whito imperial on his,chin.His eyes bright,'.flashing., ri laughingchallenge; his gallantries bedeckedwith speech, embarrassing even so sea-soned a veteran as the great DameEthel Smythe; in whose honour'thcfeast was spread. ; ■

Damo Ethel claimed her full seventy-fivc year?.' A, sturdy, old ' lady, heriron-grey hair swept''up and knotted oiltop of her head "beneath a largo blackvelvet tricorno hat, that tilted roguish-ly over her face. A soft cream shirtand collar, a green'plaid tie, a slacktweed suit—with pockets; her kindlywrinkled face, with its two ripe-applecheeks full of humour and character.Dame Ethel is 1 a fighter too—a realcharacter, as well .as England's greatestwoman composer. As Sir ThomasBcecham said, if there' was anotherwoman, composer of any country or anytime that could .equal her, ho would'like to know the name.

In tlio mellow hour, after a goodlunch, theso two great musicians toldtalcs on each other* and amusing talcssomo of them. were. . Sir ThomasBcecham is the greatest English con-ductor, and when, he sways the batonover an orchestra, you can count on tifull, house. He lias been a staunchfriend to Damo Ethel, though she hasfor fifty years fought the sex-prejudicethat dominates a man-mado! world andhas refuscd'to accord women an equalplace and opportunity.

Sir Thomas. Toforred'to Dame EthelSmythe's "dazzling 'and disturbingcareer." The first time he saw herwas on thcßcviera,whenhe was a veryyoungman.. This amazing woman Wasriding on-the box-scat of an old landausmoking a largo cigar. Somo yearslater, when he -was rehearsing DameEthel's "Tho Wrecker," she hit his prin-cipal horn player a crack over tho headwith a hockey stick. This musicianaccepted a long contract in Americasoon afterwards, as he regarded theMusical Home front too dangerous. ;

At a later date, ' Dame Etheljoined Mrs. Pankhurst ■ and themilitant Suffragettes,. and, movedby righteous wrath, sho heavedan enormous brick through theoffice of. the Uomc Secretary. SirThomas referred to.-his visit to her inHollowayGaol. "She was not exactlylanguishing in gaol/ ho said,; "I can'timagino her languishing anywhere.".Outside he found sixtoen or eighteen'stalwart women marching up and down;singing what was then an unfamiliarsong,"The March of the Women," andlooking up ho saw Dame Ethel leaningout of a window, conducting this bandof Amazons Avith a toothbrush.,; Recently, ;during afestival of Britishmusic, there was one .night set apartfor Damo Ethel's compositions, aud itwas a proud: night,;for her.: Sho hasalso published a, book of reminiscences,/.'Female Pipings in Eden," in. whichsho. has a. few good stories to tell. .Andon March 3.next, at the Albert Hall,» performance of her. Mass will 'bogiven, and she. will also.conduct "ThoMarch of the Women'? herself—thesame one, but. this timo herrostrum willjiot.bo,Holloway Gaol, .and .her batonwill riot "be the historic) toothbrush. '[: ; A UNIQUEPERSpNAXITY.";

Sir Thomas,Referred to her as aunique personality: "Shp towers overall tho women of; her, generation, hersplendid faith, her humour, her unfail-ingcourage,her keen brain, and to thisshe,has.added.inellbw.wisdom and com-mon sense, but,' .above all, is her divinehumour.'.' 'Sir Thomas said that hermusic had the .fprecious.quality of sur-prise." "You simplycan't go to sleepwhen.youare conducting it." Her.workwas a. credit to any sex, and he addedslyly, that tho number of sexes seemedto, have.increasediri recent.years.■vDamo Ethel was given a cheery wel-come when she stood up tospeak. Tholimelight poured, upon her kindly, un-powdered.face, and( the film camerawhirred as it recorded her- smile. Facedwith.making.'a speech, she said sho hadrecourse to pencil and paper, and quot-ing .the words of an.old song of.heryouth,. "It is.best for you—and bestfor ..me,',' she .added, flourishing . ,]icrrough,manuscript; Her hair hung in.tatties grey wisps about her face, and,hand on hip, she leapt into. it.

She said that.whcu shewas asked tomake a " speech, she felt that sho hadbeen, asked "to make.'a'-foo.l of.'her-solf."..And.now/she -had been asked to"conduct^ herself.at;the Albert Hall,she felt that she had again boon askedto make fool bf;.herself..

1 "But it isjiofc the firstr time-a .woman has *beenasked tq niako a fool of herself by iiman." .-'"., '.'.'■ W ... ? "'.,' .'.■■ .; ; "She told us tow,;Sir Thomas, made'■animal noises" when he was tryingto work;up his orchestra, rather like ahuntsman urging on'his hounds. Aiidduring one- performance, of "TheWrecker," "she heard him say: "Playiouderi blast youU' ;\. :. ~has been a discussion recentlyabout England's' interest in .opera, andher lack ..tot) operatic singers..''/Dame

Ethel declared that English peoplewould not make the necessary' conces-sion to art; they aro too fond of slim-,ming. "I would liko to go roundEurope with 'a tapo measure, and'thenI would provo why European singersarosuperior; most of the great ones are-of vast proportions."

Damo Ethel referred to the fact thatshe had been told encouragingly thatsho would' have- to speak only ten min-utes, as if that was any consolation."If you can't swim, you can get justas drowned.'. . ." but the rest was lostin laughter. -■.-'■

Sho declared that there was still sexrivalry, though this discrimination thegreat Chesterton would call so rever-ence. In her time sho had been harassedby adverse criticism, but sho had ceasedto read them. "They only lower theflame of one's courage,""she added. Butnothing, apparently, has dimmed thefierce firo' of her own through half acentury of struggle. Dame Ethel saidthat sho still had piles of manuscriptthat had never boon tried out, and muchof it was nibbled by.-tho mice. "If con-ductors had even the intelligence ofmice, they would have shown greaterdiscrimination, as ■ the mice alwaysknow what is best—and attack it first."'.Tho giant toast-master, in his scarletcoat, who is not cursed with shyness,stood behind-her chair, and in.ringingtones announced each speaker ' with"Mr. Chairman, my Lords, ladies andgentlemen.'.'. : .' '■ "What is "all.this a'b.out.. lords?" sheasked at last. ''Arc there 'airy:-, lordshere; I would like to see one," she saidat las.t.;. So' on ©/.obligingly rose nearby,and extended his hand, which she shookwith great heartiness. It was the Mar-quess of Donegal. Other guests wereLady Duff Cooper, her eyestaking theirtone from,her blue-green hat; Priscilla,Countess AnnoEley, very smart, andlittlo aged since I saw her last inWashington nearly twelve years ago.Victoria Sackyille \Vest, the poet andnovelist, her broad masculine brownfelt hat shading her handsome face,clipped dark, straight hair,, danglingearrings, and- a gipsy scarf insido abrown tailored costume. .And besideher Virginia Wolfe, her hat and dressrather, slack and'drab against tho moresophisticated smartness of most of thewomen. But when I looked at DnimoSmythe, I concluded it is character notclothes that count. ;.

THE NO. 10 SCHEME

BUILDERS' COMMENTS

WELFARE OF WORKERS. ■ (By Telegraph) . ;■(Special to the "Evening Post.")

DTJNEDIN, This Day, At: the conference of tho New, Zea-land Builders' Federation, the presi:dent, Mr.- J. W. Graham (Clmatchurch),said: that ;during the past year throughtho J\To. 10 unemploymentscheme thefoi-ty-hour working week had been in'troduced pn all subsidised buildingwork! " While insomo'cases this mighthave meant the employment of ostraworkers, it had definitely curtailed thoearnings and spending power of a largenumber of workers, ;. The.,experiencethey had gained would'; be most; valu-able in the future, for. they might ex-pect that- the same hours :would beasked- in industry after" tho presentemergency.; In justico to all thoworkers affected, he said this could onlybo accompanied by 'an incrcaso inwages, which in turn would mean anincrease in costs. ' ""A cardinal principle so obvious ingreat .world-wide depression is that nonation can bo prosperous' with, itslabour -unemployed,"..-proceeded-- Mr.--/Graha-NeWZcalandcrs did not wanta- dole; "they wanted employment, aIliving wage,' and decent living condi-!tions.- '' ■■--■■-■" .';.., ;.;

Mr.' W. Ellis, vice-president,- saidthat there-were two phases of reliefwork he had to admire: bno was affore-station And the dther was tho No. 10building, scheme. But thbfact remainedthat the builder had obtained littlebenefit from, tho scheme. From thespeaker's observations four people whohad—benefitedwere" the worker1 (forwhich " they wore- glad), tho merchant,the land agent, and the proprietor.The land agent, had. made it his busi-ness to make as large a profit as pos-sible from the scheme,

Mr. ;W. Winsor ''; (Christchurch)wa'rhcil' members to act cautiously inregard to the No. 10 scheme. The Un-employment Board had gone to'a greatdeal of trouble to ensure the schemeworking successfully, and; ho thoughtthe board' had done wonderful workfor the building industry. ,

HARBOUR BOARDS

WAGES AND CONDITIONS

INQUIRIES TO BE MADEA decision to seek information re-

garding 'the wages and conditions ofemployment ruling at tho other prin-cipal ports of the Dominion was madeby the Wellington Harbour Board lastevening. Tho information is to beused for purposes of comparison withtho position of the board's employees;

Mr. C. 11. Chapman, M.P., drew the'attention of the chairman (Mr. C. M.Turrell) to a' recent newspaper reportthat the Nelson llarbour Board pro-posed to rcstoro the wages cut. DidMr. Turrell propose to give an indica-tion whether the Wellington Boardwould act on similar lines! ho asked.

Mr. Turrell: Are you referring topermanent employees or casuals?

Mr. Chapman: Both permanent menand casuals. ".

Mr. Turrell said that negotiationswero being carried on at present be-,tween the 'employers of casual"water-side labour and tlio employees, aud theboard could not go past that. Eventu-ally some arrangement would :be ar-rived at, but ho could not say what theresult would be; Sofar as the board'spermanent' employees were concernedhe was certainly not in a position togivo any direction as suggested by Mr.Chapman. It was; a matter for theboard to consider, and in the past ithad always set up a wages committeeto investigate the position and reportto the board. He did not think it wasnecessaryfor him as chairman to giveany direction in tho matter becausethe Kelson Board had1 seen fit to dosomething. They did not know whatthe circumstances of the Nelson Boardwere. ■

Mr. W. H. Price said that the NelsonBoard,did not employ casual labour.

Mr. Chapman: It looks to mo as: ifwe aro going.to be among tho last in-stead of the. first.. '■;■"' '■ .

Mr. Turrell: Ypn will:find our per-manent men aro better paid than thoseat Nelson, and probably better paidthan at any other port in New Zealand.

Would tho board,agree; to the chiefexecutive officer making inquiries, forpurposes of comparison? asked Mr., P.Fraser, M.P. .. . ... ~ . ,-.■■Mr. Turrell said ho had no objectionto that course being followed; if it,wasthe wish'of the-board. .He was confi-dent that tho Wellington scale was ashigh, if not higher, than other scales.

The board agreed unanimously thatinquiries should bo made. .;

_Mr. A.r Fletcher's suggestion that tho

inquiries should also eovcr conditionsof employmentwas adopted. ;

The extent to which' pi ice* useis governed by the supplies handled upto < that date, and as the quautity Instjcar «w so large piices nntuially did notir-aqh the. level of the pievious 'jeal,when supplies were not as heavj. l'oiinstance, fiom Januaiy to September. 1932,the, total 'impoitation was 318,487tons,of which Austialia and' Xcw Zealandsent, 143,408't0n5,' bilt last Januaiy toSeptember the total auival had jnciCasedby 20,000tons,' of which New Zealandwas lcsponsible for 12,600 tons.

ART AND LETTERS

VICTORIAN REMINISCENCES

The. Lewis Carroll centenary hasl sorecently passed that some'mention ofhim in a delightful book by Mrs. E.M. :Ward,on her "Memories^' whichextended over ninety years,.is interest-ing;now: Mrs. Ward says that' he, theEev. C. L. Dodgson, was ,onp. of theirspecial friends. He ■jvas■ very .■■;modestabout 'his works, and if, anyone men|tioned, the."Alieo" books,'-he.wouldfrown, fidget, and soon disappear. Hisgreat;hobby was children, and he. lovedto sco.tliem, to tak^thcin about, andentertain them with stories. He used to1send _ Mrs. Ward and her children hisbooks as they came out, and ho tookher the manuscript.of "Sylvie . andBruno" to see if she could, suggest anyimprovements. He -was most modestabout his work, altogether, and oncewhen Mrs. Ward, said something inpraiso of "Alice in "Wimdorland"and"Through', the Lookinglass,'?. he.saidthat the success they had achieved was1entirely due to their.■beautiful;illustra-tions. She^lcnow that, was nonsense,but'it was nouse- contradicting him. ;. CharlesDickens was another specialfriend of the Wards, arid Mrs. Warddescribes her first mooting with himthus:—"l was at Daniel Macliso'sstudio in Eussell Place when I'was achild. It was tho artist's privateview, and as I sat on a bench with sovJoral other people Inoticed aman Avhosocareworn face seemed strangely fami-liar to me. -I-.toso to make room: forhim, and accidentlly sat on.his coat-sleove. He wore au odd-looking gar-ment resembling a drcssiug-gowii ratherthan anovercoat,"with,huge slebves linedwith lilac silk. He only stayed a .fewminutes, and when he tried-to- risefound I'was holding hiui.a prisoner."Later they became great,friends, andMrs. -Ward speaks of his -wife as rjcinga pretty woman who apparently adoredCharles and the children. '.""

"In the earlier days,1' says MrsiWard, "she used to say what'a goodhusband he made,and spoke,of his pas-;s'ionatc love for his children from theirbabyhood. Later years'saw" the part-ing of tho ways between husband andwife, which seems unaccountable whenIremember how they once appeared:sounited in. their happy home."

Mrs. Ward writes:'of"the late SirHenry Dickens, who'.camo to a tragicend through an : accident recently:—"Wei.Sinea wi.th tho pickcriscs oneevoning, just a: quiet .family .party.Henry, the yoiiiigcst.son,' now a,famousK.C.',,,sat on.my knee, an intelligentchild, with sunny curls, wearing awhito frock, and a bluo sash and rib-bons. He and his wifenow live at Mul-berry Walk, Chelsea, tho top part oftho house being converted intora "won-derful museum of Charles .Dickens'srelics, and works." "_ In. referenceto the death of CharlesDickons, Mts. Ward writes of a charm-ing letter she from him, andadds:—"To our ;: lasting regret hisdcath

> occurred shortly; after. He wasthe kindest of men. There was no case'of sorrow that ho :knew of that hisheart did not ache over; no cause ofinjustice that his pen and his pursedid not try to rcliovo, and lie did moregood by his pen in righting wrongsthan any other man. Tho privationsand struggles of his earlydays undoubt-edly shortened his life, but never frozethe genial current of his. soul."

W. M. Thackeray was another' greatfriend, and Mrs. Ward'says that thoughho was noted for his caustic wit, hewas a gentle and sympathetic friend.

The system is a striking advancem- the: art of motion picture sound repro-?u i j» and Is not to be compared withthe old,methods.

"Madame Spy."""Madame" Spy" is another "different"picture from; Universal.

This,picture has been elaboratelyproduced under ,thehand of Karl Freund,with a cast of outstanding' artists. Thestory of "Madame Spy" is intensely inter-

esting; fraught with dramatic ' suspense.It is easy to'appreciate what could bodone with this tremendous story in thehands of, a' capable producer with finedirector and capable cast. It has beendone—to the fullest extent—and Universalis optimistic that-its success will followsuch leaders as "Only Yesterday," "TheInvisible. Man," "Counsellor-at-Law," and"By Candlelight." Fay Wray is said todeliver by far the best performance shehas ever given to the screen in "MadameSpy." Nils -Asther has-another greatcharacterisation;Edward "Arnold, JohnMiljan,David Torrence,Noah Beery, andmany more, outstanding artists contributetowards the success of "Madame Spy."

THE WEEK'S WORK

FLOWER GARDEN.Continue td plant all kinds of spring-floweringbulbs.Sow seed of aquilegia, primroses, polyanthuses,and Canterburybells.Iceland poppies and calendulas may also be sown. :Take cuttings of pansies and violas as soon' as the younggrowths aro available. Plant the cuttings in a shady place andkeep moist till rooted. ".Bordor carnations may still be layered!: 'Romove all seed pods from rhododendrons and azalias. r

Prepare the ground for sowing sweet peas.Give constant attention to chrysanthemums. Sec that theplants arc properly supported. ■ ' \

VEGETABLE GARDEN.Clear away spent crops and if the, plots are not required for

othor crops sow down in blue lupin, oats, or other green crop fordigging in.

Stop the leading shoots of pumpkins and marrows.

" Sow,shorthorn carrots, peas of an early variety, ■ and dwarfbeans. . / ,

Harvest onions, garlic, and shallots. ■ ■■, Attend to tomatoes. See that the plants are'regularly sprayedand tied to the supports and .that all laterals are removed. Someof the lower leaves may also be removed.Earth up early planted celery, first removing any unhealthyfoliage or'Sideshoots. ' -'.'

Keep beans closely picked to encourage a continuance of crop-ping. . ' . ,;.,.. ..,.,-..„ '-Harvest potatoes as soon as ready. ,'-.'.Make frequent use of the hoe among■ growing crops. ....TROUBLESOME PLANTS

METHODS OF CONTROLAs most gardeners know there are

some plants which, while valuable inmany ways, become troublesome unlesskept-under'strict control. Sonic ofthese spread rapidly by suckers,.'someby■seed,:othors by bulbils.

Anoniono japonica and ■Alstroomesiasoon-over-run tho garden by suckergrowth, and.on.co they get among theroots of shrubs or trees aro very diffi-cult to got out. Tho ohly;really safeway to deal with such is to confinetheroots by surrounding tho plots bysheetsof iron sunk in tho ground. Mint isanother similar plant which requiresthe same- treatment.

After a few years plants so confinedbecome very-overcrowded, and the soilexhausted. Itvis then timo to lift thewhole bed and replant tho younger andimore vigorous portions after having re-newed and enriched tho soil. 'Many of .tho bulbous plants arc alsoItroublesome, somo by seed such asIfrcesias, others by the small bulbswhich drop into the soil when the bulbsare being lifted. Gladioli of some kinds,produce quantities of tiny bulbilsaround tho old'conn, and unless great-care is i taken theso become' detachediand falling back into the ground soonispread andbecome a pest. If the plantsaio lifted-before tho foliago is fullymatured there is less danger of tho,small bulbils falling off. " Tristis,alliums, and tritonias arc among thisclass.

Watsonias and monttrotias spreadrapidly by sucker growths, aid besides|becoming a pest the results of leavingthe clumps undisturbed is a densegiowth with very few and inferiorIblooms. .

Poppies of all kinds, aquilegias, lark-spurs, delphiniums, calendulas, uastur'hums, foxglove, brooms, and many otherplants will soon smother the garden ifthe seeds are allowed to ripen and fall.Seedvessels should bo removed beforo(they Tipen.

A SIMPLE METHODAlthough this hardly comes undertho heading of "Gardening Notes," Ihave been asked for tho recipe,. and as

many gardeners may have a' surplus ofparsnips which they cannot use in theoidinary way. they maybe glad to knowof tins simple method of utilising thoover-supply. , ....*'■,..

.till tender, four pounds-of-parsnips, that have,been cut small, in,one gallonof-water; if more convenientthe parsnips can bo .boiled in less waterand boiling vater added to make upthe quantity. Strain the liquor througha sieve or coarso cloth, caro being takennot to bruiso tho \egctable, add fourpounds of tho best sugar to everygallon of liquor, and boil for thirtyminutes. Pour into a tub and. whencooled to lukewarm add about half anounce offcast moistened with warmwator and spread ontoast. (Thisamountof yeast is sufficient for two or threegallons.) Cover tho tub and let it workfor four days stir every day, skim, andput into a cask or jars. As this worksnp and over keep some of the liquorJ^cd to fill up. When tho wine hasfinished fermenting, bung or cork downtightly bottling in about three monthsv wished. -* . ■

LILIUMS

HINTS ON-PLANTINGWith Liliiim "regale, the tlgfir lily

(L. tigrinum) is among the hardiestlilies grown 311 the garden. Bulbs ofeither variety should flower the samoseason as they are planted. That is tosay,if bulba aro planted in May, Juno,or July they should flower in December

of the. same year—the tiger,lilies pro-bably in January; following. The maindifficulty in successfully/growing 'hardylilies lies primarily^in the bulbs them-selves. . These are fleshy and thin-skin-ned, and aro not adapted to remain outof the ground for any great length oftime. Nursoryinon are not always ableto control the length of time ■ duringwhich tho:'bulbs, will remain ' aboveground, ■ and "frequently thoy . sufferthrough-this as,well.as through.,badhandling. Liliums must not be treatedas other bulbs such as tulips and nar-cissi. They must not'be kept, out ofthe ground, in a dry state, for .weeks,but should be treated rather as herbac-eous plants, lifted when necossary, andreplanted as soon as possible. The rootsystem should bo carefully handled,and'any injury avoided. Given thistreatment bulbs of liliums will quicklyestablish themselves in their new posi-tion and flower tho first year providedthe bulbs are of flowering sizo. Gooddrainage is essential to the welfare ofthese bulbs, and as an additional safe-guard to success it is advisable to planteach bulb in a. layer of sharp sand tokeep it dry and preventliability to rot.So long as the clumps are thrivingaiid producing good flower spikes it isnot' advisablo to disturb them, but assoon as the blooms start to deteriorateit is an indication of somothing lackingin the soil, and .they should then belifted carefully whilo dormant and bereplanted-in.good,fresh soil.- - ,' Manures should be avoided where pos-sible—that is, where good, clean, vir-gin soil is; available.;Good turfy loamis excellent, also leaf mould' Thodepth to plant depends upon the sizeof the bulbs, but the top of tho bulbsshould be from four to ten inches be-low the surface,' as most liliums arestein-rooting—that is, they throw rootsfrom .the stems which come from thebulbs. - ■'■" ■"■."■-.'"■ . - ■

THE ROCK GARDEN(By T. W. Attwood.)

Other things besides suitable soilconditions are contributing factors to"tho success or failuro' of rock plants,and while H is perfectly true we crin'"not,grow,all plants everywhere; muchgreater, success would be ours could'we'give our plants as nearly as possible'their natural requirements.'-'. ' -Acac'na is one of the Ibwcri-fonns ofuseful rock-garden plants, several ofwhich are Now Zealand natives. Theyform close coriipact mats, their valuefor furnishing being their special merit.I ho, flowers in most cases arc incon-spicuous. They form suitable, carpets'ton small bulbs such as crocus, arc very'useful for crazy pavements, or to coverup odd. corners or,alongside)"■steppinc-'stones. They are perfectly'hardy andalmost.any.kindof soil conditions seemsto suit them.,, They propagate easily,by,cuttings or divisions. The two bestare A^.buchananii,pale grey leaves,and A. nncrpphylla, with a rosy,bronze foliage, ooth New Zoalanders.Achillea . (yalrow) comes from atremendous family, mostly weeds. Somefew, however,, are ,"really good—Alewisii:and A:'argcntea are.both good,haying. whitish flowers. There is avery good'yellqw.one Ift high, but Iam uncertain of its,name. These plants'have.-a very wide distinction. Propa-1gate by-seed, in spring and by divisionof roots in: late autumn and sprin^:ordinary soil., : °"For Agathaea (blue Marguerite, CapeAstor), the requirements arc sandy loamtwo parts, leaf mould and sand ono part.Propagate by cuttings or youiyr shootsduring summer in :sandy soil.

Ajuga mctalica tricolour is a verybeautiful new-form of ajuga and as afoliage-plant'in a su'niiy situation iswell worthy of a place in, any rock 'garden.^..lt. is not- to.o .particular as to]

the soil but does well in a mixture oftwo parts stiff loam and one partcoarse sand.Alyssum saxatile is one of the best ofa very largofamily,standing high amongtho twelve most popular splendours ofthe rock garden in spring and earlysummer.- All the alyssum grow readilyin light soil or moraine in a sunny ex-posed position and may be propagatedby seed. This should be' grown inassociation with aubrctia.

Of Androsacc, Fairer says: "Per-haps of all mountain races this nameis engraved most deeply in the■ rock-gardener's heart—standing as well forhis highest hopes and pride as for hisbitterest disappointments." One canunderstand quite easily some of the re-peated disappointments which woimagino aro tho common experience ofall who have tried their hand withthese difficult and elusive subjects, andyot there is nothing so very extra-ordinary about it. We simply do not,or rather'cannot', . produce the condi-tions necessary (o success. There is acertain group '.which is quite easy tomanage (two groups in fact), but theyare nearly all useless weeds. Most thatare really worth while come from thoArctic and alpirio heights and find theirhome in shelteredj,crevices of rockwhere they can go-to, rest for £vo orsix months during the winter. A con-dition of. firm drought from autumn tospring is most difficult under New Zea,-land outdoor cultivation; even in thebest graden it is impossible to avoidthe accumulation of inoisturo'that win-ter brings,, so keenly resented by somany of those plants that are longing togo to sleep "instead of which they, inmany; cases, ■':are'- literally drowned.Some overhanging situations; may. befound here and there' where, perfectdrainage and freedom from drip maymake life possible'to some few of theserare beauties even in New Zealand. Foi-the benefit of others wo would be gladto hear from anyone1who has been suc-cessfulwith androsace, giving names ofvarieties and their treatmont..

'.'There,are'dwarf and tallvarieties, with' white, pale, and darkpink flowers. They, are from the Alpsand Pyrenees."

Of Arthropodium-cirrhatiim, Farrer,in writing chieflyl to Englishmen, says:"This is a New Zcalander, for deepsheltered nooks and deep rich soil inwarm climate's;■" it. forms masses ofglossy lax strap-shaped leaves likeImantophyllum (which,hates wind) andsends up. .multitudes of /tall stemscarrying showers ofvwhite stars.''

The above-mentioned articles werefound in an. attafchc case which theaccused gave to a woman to mind,forhim. The principal evidencowas thatof Detective F. N. Robinson, to whomEdwards said that'the case and its con-"tents had been left with him by' a manwhoso name he did not wish to give.The.detective read two letters, writtento the accused by "breaking and enter-ing" men, and'found in the accused'sroom. -- .'■■■""."■■ ' ■ :

Before ho plcadc'd on ■ the majorcharge,'Edwards' asked the' Magistratefor free legal advice to be given.tohim, and was told byMr. E. Page, S.M.,that if he were without means and hada reasonable .defencesuch advice wouldbe authorised.

Edwards then-pleaded not guilty, andwas committed to the Supremo"Court-for trial. "On the charge .relating to tho auto-matic pistol ho was convicted, althoughhe pleaded not gnilty. Mr. Page saidthat-ho would withhold sentence untiltho indictable charge was decided.'

MAORIS AT VARIANCE

lii tho Lower Hut,t Court yesterdaya charge of stealing strawberry plantswas brought by: one Maori against an-other Maori; Moses Karena chargedGeorge Mariner with the theft of straw-berry plants .valued at.£10.. Mr. G. I. Joseph, who appeared for'the defendant, ,said his client leasedland from Karciia- at a rental of 2s6d a.week, plus keep for Karena. Theinformant gave.Mariner a'small numljerof :stra\ybprry, plants, and in time hisclient -"--greatly increased this numberby transplanting,-■'etc. Mariner wenton a holiday to Taupo, aud' wheiv he^returned hb found that some hundredsof^liis goos'ebery plants had been de-stTOycd. He heaVd Karena had donethis, so the Uy'q men had a differenceof opinion, and the-result was'thatMariner .was asked;;to' leave. Marinerd"g «P his strawberry' plants in frontof Karelia, and left; ,.■■Mr; Joseph contended that tho casecould1 not be d criminal one, and thatKarena could only proceed'through theCivil Court. ...The Magistrate (Mr. J. G.X. Hewitt,S.M.) upheld this contention, whereuponMr. Joseph asked for .costs, his clienthaving had to come a considerable dis-tance.

Karena immediately'broke into in-dignant protests in a loud voice, say-ing that Mariner owed,him rent.

When Mr. Joseph asked for solicitor'sfee Karena said:".What's . that—lwon't pay. He won't get anythingout of me." , ■ ■. . ,

As Karona continued his protests hewas told to keep quiet. 'Still muttering- that he would notpay, Karena left the Court. Mi\ Hewittadvised him before he left to consulta lawyer before bringing a civilclaim. ... ■ ." ' " " . . j

RADIO TAXFOR U.S.A.?A "NEW DEAL ..PROPOSAL

JOB "FOR' INVENTORSWhen the idea of taxingradio recep-

tion has been raised in the TJjiltedStates it has usually boon condemnedoutright. «Radio ■reception is defi-nitely;one'of the things that is free inthe' hand'o£ the'free, and the collec-tive voice declares that it niiist remainfree, Never shMl Americans bo sub-jected to the imposition ofa.tax. Butthe effectivo" collective voice in thismatter is not the voice of listeners, butthat of "therenormous aggregate of busi-ness interests that, have becometached to broadcasting. " The Americ-an system ■depends for its financesupon "selling time." There arc somestations conducted;by business,educa-tional, or propagandist coricorns whichprovide entertainment because theyconsider it pays: them to do so; but themain body of broadcasting is conductedfrom a highly organised ■commercialsystemwhich leases tho transmission toany clients who care to pay,for the sor-vicc. Those clients not only pay veryhandsome foes fOr the tiino so used,butprovide the entertainment, and thusjointly maintain an army of perform-',ers ranging from superlative to bad.Tliis system pays tlii? owners of the[stations;.it-pays, tho ■.cliehts-r-or theytliiuk.it does, which comes to thesamb_'-thing—and it: pays -the artists—and.feo. everybody 'is -satisfied on thatscore.:(: But as-"there nrp,three partiesall'being paid, who doos tho paying?Tho public, of course, unconsciously,;asit'paysCustomsfduties "and qthorless";,charges. The whole cost of tliobroadcasting servico is inevitably load-ed upon' the prices the public pay fortho goods or services supplied by theclients of thfcffrroadcasting stations.ThisVind.ans, oiP.fecjurae,that some of thecost isfbornVyjjf pooplo who do notlis.tcii.ito brpaaqasting; and that manypeople'who 36' listen but.do not patro-nise .the sponsors' do riot..contributeto the cost. . This js aa. inequitablearrangement. "There isa "small annualexpense carried by the United StatesGovcrnment-r-ab'6ut £120,000—for theupkeep of the Federal Badio Commis-sion and tho inspection service. Thiscomes out of tho general national rcve--11110...'... ■■"*■!"">■"'.. iv-t ,:^v>,;><. ,"'-.-■":■■.■-.'.;.,It is hardly to bo expected that tho'body of broadcast listeners in the Unit-

ed States would welcome.,a plan formaintainingthe 'service^By direct reve-nue as is done for example ia'sEnglandand here, but if is most interesting tofind that, working into tho fabric ofthe "New.Deal;'J*3> proposalsis beingmade;,for .the imposition -oif% tax fornational reyenusi. purposes; But howto imposo such *? tax ig^a very knottyproblem. ; 'It.ijrdiscussed, at too groatlength for full quotation, by.'*a«writerin tho "New York Times." ;'. The? out-line of the proposal, Submitted to thoUiij,^ed States Government, is ? thatbroadcasting stations shaUVpav"' an an-W 1 £°c £or the right to broadcast, andthat listeners shall bo taxed "on oneva,lye,^" Tho first is simple enough.No broadcaster can go on the air un-hcoused without being caught; in fact,the Eadio Commission keeps a veryclose eye on all; transmitters, commer-cial arid amateur, to-sec that they comvply with the regulations so as to mini-miso interference. These stations maybe taxed in various ways, according totheir power, .their hours,of activity, the'value of their radio "channel, and soon. ' But to. catch: .tho owners of say17,000,000 radio/receivers is anotherthing altogether. How much of an-otheMhing, it :ia\can be-judged fromthe way; itiis; proposed to: ensure pay-ment of the tax. '■'*■A tax "on one tube"means, of course, a tax on each re-'coiver. As it ;would be a colossalwork to search but 17-000,000 receiversand persuade their owners, to pay upand pay each "■[yeari .the problem is tomake the receivers useless until the taxis paid.1 The': suggestion" is made,therefore, that inventors shall get towork and devise a new sort of detector,andthen invent a new sort of broad-casting that can only .bo heard withthe new detector.- This detector canbo made so-that it will have-'-a"life of1000 hours, and each'one"sold can betaxed. But is this practical politicsor practical anything? It is the fashionto say that in th'eso day's nothing isimpossible; but this is a ridiculous de-mand. Thero may be a.herd; of lionsabroad and only one very timid hunterin the'district; but thaVemedy is notto invent a way of carrying a battle-ship inland so ■that the beasts can boshot in safety. . However, the NewYork- writer, while admitting the diffi-cujty but-not the absurdity of theplan, outlines another. "If n0 waycan.be found, to f.orcerjeyeryone to buya new.tfetcetar, the. proposal is to passn. lawi;whore.by /.every set owner mustbuy a two-dollar stamp and place it onthe prqsent . detector. Then anyonecaught eaviisdropping without a stamp-taxed tube ■'would be liable to a fine orconfiscation^ of-his radio set. In thofuturo: as each owner required a new.,detector, he would .buy tho stamp orpay the tax at thestore.! ". . . . There-is no definiteinformation that Congresswill, get this detector plan at the cur-rent session,'but'it'is one'oftho things

that the Governmentis thinking abouton its radio programme.So* wo cbmo back to the big job ofinspection. Even the renewal of" the.detector is far from proof against tax-evasion, because almost any valve canbo used as a detector. ■ . .-

' "What is tho tax to be used fortThisis more practical than the suggestionfor getting.it. It is-proposed thathalf the 'total shall"go to tho FederalTreasury for general' purposes. Theother half would be'used to "buy time"and'provido programmes.sothat everynight thore should be two or threehours clear of commercial sponsorship."The music and entertainment, educa-tion and information would bo of..ahigh calibre, planned to elevate the cul-tural plane'of;America." ■

WIRELESS MASTSA DANGEE TO AVIATION

LESSON OF ACCIDENT

The outstanding lesson of the disas-ter to the British, air liner Apollo—which recently 'crashed after striking awireless mast in;Belgium—is the- in-creasing danger to aviation created bysueii obstructions.

An expert said to. a .representative oftiro "Daily Telegraph":—""Within thepast few years, owing to the develop-ment of wireless and broadcasting, andthe.increased use of electric' power, thenumber of tall masts anil high pylonssupporting, cablo has increased veryrapidlyl Even ia good visibility therois a danger, aud in bad weather Ihatdanger is increased. This mast in Bel-gium, for instance, was 940ft high.

". Anyone -flying at nearly 1000ftmight normally expect to be clear ofallobstructionsin flat country, but thisacident shows such assumption to befatal. When the weather is foggy, orclouds are low, it is practically impos-sible for the pilot to see the obstruc-tion in time. Present methods of mark-ing aerial obstructions are not satisfac-tory. Even.when you can soc, the wire-less mast .below you is a mero point.All you see from above is the concreteslab at tho base.

In darkness tho tinyred light at thetop seems ridiculously inadequate, andin fog you cannot see it at all. Thequestion arises whether the time hat>not come for more efficient warningsignals. Many accidonts have beencaused by aerial obstructions. . Onlytwo weeks ago PlightLieutenant J. B.Allen, tho Duchess of Bedford's highlyskilled pilot, lost his life through coin-ing suddenlyupon an electric pylon."It.seems clear that Captain- Gittins

was flying at what, ono would' think asafe height even in. fog.. The estimatethat he was only300ft high maybo dis-regarded, for no one on the ..groundcould make a correct estimate.. If hehad been flying at 300ft he would nothavo brought down. the.upper part oftho .high mast;. He must havo beennear the top, andlie certainlywould notbe able to see the small warning lightgenerally in use."... ■" .';

BAD CONDITIONS.An official of the. Air Ministry baid

"An international convention compelsthose responsible to light all pylonswithin a certain distance of-acrodromeswhere aircraft are likely to be flying'low. Tho same rule applies -to pylonson a regular air route, such as, the twobig electric-grid pylons-at--th'o mouthof tho Thames.- .-Thews-is no regulationrequiring every portion to be lighted,no matter.,whe.ro it may be." 'It has been stated that, owing to thefog, the lights were burning on each ofthe,eight pylons at Euysselcde, wheiethe.Apollo, crashed, from nine o'clockin-the morning.,. . 'The wrecked'machine like all Imper-ial Airways'machines, had facilities bywhich tho pilot 'could receive wirelessguidance as to his position.

Conditions were bad at the begin-ning of the flight, and steadily ■ gicwworse, because of thick fog over theBelgian coast.1 It was suggested thatthepilot was in early wireless communi-cation as to his position, but even thedirection-finding apparatus is not proofagainst all the vagaries, of fog, .whichmay cause slight small errors resultingin tho given position being only ap-proximately correct.

Tho aviation correspondent of tho"Daily TelegraphY says:—"Fire is al-most certain" to break out in a crash orcollision of which there is no warning.The.risk may bo.reduced by switchingoff the magneto when a bad landingisseen, to be.inevitable...The accident isono of many which point to the dangerof petrol as a fuel. . There are meansfor preventing the spread of fire in theair, but these arc useless in abad crash.Anti-bursting tanks have been made,and the Air- Ministry has awardedprizes to their inventors, but there ap-pears to be a strictlimit to tho sizeof the tank which can be proof againstspilling its contents on violent impact.: ''The use of heavy oil fuel in en-

gines based onthe Diesel principle offersthe. best promise, and although in badcrashes the. passengers are .almost in-variablykilled "by. the-impact, and aronot burned to. death, there are otherreasons for: desiring; to avert fire. ITirousually destroys.'.clues to-tne cause ofthe accident." ..-.."

A ROUGH VOYAGEThe Government motor-ship Mani

Pomare,.-which.-arrived at 'Weliiiigtoaon Tuesday from Apia and Niue> viaLyttelton,.experienced heavy weatherthroughout her voyage. After leavingWellington on January 31 the vesselencountered high seas, aud oil Febru-ary 3 she ran into a cyclone. She wasthen near Tonga. Although speed had,to. bo reduced, tho Maui Pomare camethrough undamaged. At Apia sheloaded 6SS3cases of bananas and seventons of cocoa beans. Considerable,dif-ficulty was experienced at Niue, wherethe vessel arrived on February 10,owing to the hoavy" sea vimning. Al-though there was no wind, the swellwas such that she: could load only 700cases of fruit, leaving 1400 cases be-hind. Until last Sunday, moderateweather was met, and on Monday morn-ing she arrived in Lyttelton. The MauiPomaro brought the following 'passen-gers to Lyttelton from Apia and Nine:Mrs. H. E. Hart, Mr. and Mrs. G. andMisa I. Klinkniueller, Miss S. Me.Cly-mont, Mr.'O. E. Do Latour, Miss J. V.Norrio, Masters R. McKenzie and A. V,Sydall, and Mr. E. D. Head. ..

ATtCKLAND, February 21.An anonymous; telephone message,

making a serious allegation against aleading1 New Zealand trotting trainer,P. J:; Smith, was investigated at Epsomtoday. The allegation was to thoeffect that a hypodermic syringe for"doping" horses would bo found in-Smith's.possession.; The trainer wassearched, also his equipment and a bagtaken by him to tho,course, but nothingin support of the allegation: was found.

The telephone messagewas receivedlast evening by Mr.A. Gr.Mabee,secre-tary of the Auckland Trotting Club,from a woman who refused to give hername. When Smith arrived at thecourse from Takanini, before the firstrace he!was informed by Mr, H.

DUE TOWHIPPET

A DEBATED FORTUNE-"A little black whippet named Billy

raced away with a "big sweepstake prizeat Oldham thirty years ago—and laidthe foundation of a £57,000 fortune,over which a fight in Chancery is* ex-pected. ,

In prizes and bets Billy brought hun-dreds of pounds to-his owner, Mr. "Wil-liam Hurst, of Little Hulton, Bolton.Tho,investment, of thjs money, and ofa legacy from his father, was the means-by which lie accumulated his wealth,says.the "Sunday■ Chronicle.''

Mr. Hurst had sonio lucky gamblesin. speculative shares, but ho rein-vested much of his gains moro safely,and tfiough there were occasional heavylosses on tho cotton market the fortunegrew. Yet Mr. Hurst; who had beensuccessively ■- collier, ' coachman,. andlicensoe, continued to -live in a" tinyhouse and to wearclogs.

■■..The. personal expenditure of Mr.-Hurst rarely exceeded 30s a week.

SALE OF DREDGEI ♦»

THE WHAKARIRE

NAPIER BOARD TAKES OVER

Final details of the.sale of the dredgeWnakarire to tho Napier HarbourBoard were given to the WellingtonHarbour Board last evening by thechairman (Mr. C. M. Turrell). ,

"Members will be pleased to know,"Mr. Turrell said, "that all arrange-ments for the sale of tho. dredge Wha-.karire to tho Napier Harbour Boardhave .now been completed, and that Jo.Monday the Napier Board formallytook over the dredge in order to pre-pare her for her voyage to Napier. Shewill probably be ready, to sail in abouta week's time. In order to assist theNapier.Board we have agreed to loan,for a limited period only, two of ourexperienced officers, Captain McMahon,sailing master, and Mr. Looney, firstengineer.

"The purchase price agreed upon forthe dredgoat Wellington was £10,500.On account of the excellent work oftho builders and the good, order inwhich the Whakarire has been kept,she is capable of doing for her newowners,'undersuitable conditions, manymore years of efficient dredging."The reason for the board's decisionin selling tho dredge is that there islittle prospect of, any large dredgingoperations being required here for someyears to come, the only work aheadbeing that of cleaning up tho berths.For this purposo an up-to-date dredgeof a smaller type,- more suitable forthis work, is all that is required, andthis is a matter that will have to beconsidered .by, the board in tho nearfuture." i
