HOUSE SEARCHEDBETTING SLIPS FOUND

DROVER FINED £15

Betting slips and other belting para-phernalia were found in the house ofGordon Thompson when a search wasmade by Detective J. M. Bourke onSaturday, according to.,evidence givento Mr. E; D. Mosley, S.M., in the Magis-trate's Court today, when 'Thompsonwas charged with using his premisesm Colombo Street as a common gam-ing house.

Thompson, a drover, aged 31, pleadedguiltyto the charge and was fined £15and costs.

Detective-SergeantL. B. Revell saidthat information had been receivedconcerning the taking oi bets by theaccused at his house, and on Saturdaya search warrant was executed by De-tective Bourke. He founda telephonein the living-room, and there were bet-ting, slips and other betting parapher-nalia on the table. The accused wasa drover and had been taking bets inthe off season. On Saturday he hadtaken £15. It was the first time hehad been charged with an offence o£this kind.

Mr. F. W. Ongley said that the of-fence was substantially bookmaking,but it was only during this off-seasonthat the accused had been taking bets,as he had spent the previous winteronrelief, and the one before hawking coaland firewood. He had been takingbets on a commission of Is Gd in the£~ out of which he had to pay theshortages.

The Magistrate asked if the policehad any reason to suspect that the ac-cused's operations had been extensive.

The detective-sergeant said the policeknowledge of the accused was onlyrecent, but it was possible that he hadtaken bets before.

For fighting in Molesworth Street.Cyril Aloert Reeves, a salesman, aged22, was convicted and fined 20s, in de-fault three days' imprisonment, by MrE. D. Mosley, S.M., in the Magistrate'sCourt today. He was fined 10s, in de-fault 24 hours' imprisonment, on acharge of drunkenness.

RUGBY FIELD DAYCLUB COMPETITIONS

JUNIORS SUCCESSFUL

Junior players predominated in thevarious events conducted by the Wel-lington and Poneke Rugby FootballClubs at their competitive field dayheld at Athletic Park on Saturdayafternoon.

Each club had excellent attendancesconsidering the period of the year, andthe competition for the Levin Shield(Wellington), and the Bell MemorialCup (Poneke) was particularly spirit-ed, the awarding of both trophies de-pending upon the decision of the finalevent of the day. The Levin Shieldwas won by C. W. Myers, a Welling-ton third-grade first division player,who was also successful in 1933. Myerswon the distance drop-kick from C. S.Barron, the runner-up, to take theWellington Club's shield, while H.Brooks andM.

MERCHANT MARINE

TRAINING SHIP WANTED

The fact that no avenue existed atpresent in New Zealand for the'ade-quate training of boys who wanted togo to sea wasreferred to at the annualdinner of the New Zealand Companyof Master Mariners on Saturday even-ing, one speaker suggesting that Cap-tain Scott's ship Discovery should beacquired as a training ship.

In proposing the toast of "The Mer-chant Service," the .Hon. C. E. Mac-millan, Minister of Agriculture,' saidthe Government was fully alive to theneed for protecting the interests of theMerchant Marine.

British shipping was working on itsearnings, said the Minister, and hefeltthat it would ultimately carry the dayagainst the competition of heavily-subsidised foreign lines.

Captain F. A. Macindoe. (secretaryof -the Merchant Service Guild) saidthere were hundreds of boys wantingto get to sea, but there was no oppor-tunity for them. a ■Captain S. Holm said it was time theDominion faced up to her responsibili-ties in the Pacific, particularly inregard to the outlying islands.

Mr. A. Leigh Hunt spoke of the pro-posal that the Discovery should beobtained as a training ship for boys.Such a ship, he said, would be an in-spiration, and could be used, if theneed arose, as a relief ship for expedi-tions.

RUMANIA'S DEBTS

It is understood that as a result ofserious objections raised by the Min-ister of Finance and the National Bankto the terms of the recent debt agree-ment signed in London, the RumanianGovernment intends seeking a revi-sion of the settlement. It is fearedthat if Rumania is compelled to makethe stipulated payments without fur-ther trade concessions, she will be un-able to procure the necessary funds andwill be obliged to renounce the treatyaltogether. In addition, the commis-sions sent to Paris, and Berlin tosmooth out the trade and debt diffi-culties have'so far been unable tomake any headway.

It willbe necessary for this committee to getin touch with the Government Depart-ments, local bodies,'and persons whoare likely to be in a position to em-ploy, and if possible, endeavour toplace any applicant with these people.Transport committee: A transportcommittee should be. set up, whoseduty it would be to provide transportif it was required. It will be neces-sary to list the persons owning motor-cars who would be available to place«i£ tlme and services at the disposalof the committee.Medical and apparatus committee:liiis committee will comprise one ortwo medical men and others who willexamine the medical position of theapplicant and recommend what actionmay be taken, and generally whetheranj assisting apparatus should be pro-vided. . r

NEW MORALITYi CHANGES IN RUSSIAFAMILY LIFE AS THE IDEALI : : ■ , I!

'' FOE TRUE CITIZENS I'j In the Soviet Union divorce is abso- 'Mtely "free." But the social conse- j

quences of this freedom are now caus- 'i ing much uneasiness in high places, ,t writes A. T. Chorlertonin the- "Daily ;. Telegraph." : :

By Stalin's orders, a moral reactionis being preached. Legal sanctions Jare, therefore, to be expected at anymoment. ■-~,- - ;

You cannot get a Soviet divorce on ,your wedding day, but that is still the '•' only restriction. "Zags," the register; office where births, deaths, marriages, ,, and divorces are "signed for" with ,■ equal-speed and lack of ceremony, i; vv-ill marry'you any time up to 4 p.m., ;

..-. when it closes, and divorce you next ',: morning at 10, when it reopens. • ;,■•:■• This is six. weeks quicker than in» Reno, Nevada, and the fee is only 6d ,s (three paper roubles, the same as for ,■marriage), which also covers the cost ', ';of the^ official-post-card, informingyour ,r wife' or'* Husband of the accomplished '.fact. '' He or she need not be warned .in advance of your intention. There ,

: are no rules about residence or domi- ■, bile/ ~Ypucan get,a divorce anywhere .;1 on Soveit territory between the • de- '">' par't'urk of/two-,trains. . : ■

FOR SIX MONTHS. 1:,. The Divorce Clerk for my ward, a '■ pleasant/poorly-clad girl undertwenty,

tells me that she may, and usually 'does, advise a drunken applicant or !'a hysteric'to go Home and think it 5over first. If in a given case she sus- .?pects some;;flagrant social abuse, she 1■ i^nowjinstructed to report the matterprivately to the Public Prosecutor. Butshe 'xsahnot refuse divorce. That isstill the law. •; !

Moreover, the' law,as ft stands' makes■no distinction/betweenregistered mar-tiage and unregistered, cohabitation,provided that neither, party is still onthe books as: married to somebodyelse,';vjj^t present; the sole .practicalRdvahtage of.registering your union,isfas^S^^lieedpnptithen, produce. wit-n^sses^tQ;pro'yeypur living together;i£t .to&fthi.'separating, you quarrel with <yo^r; Ipartner over the division of •]rptom-sp3ce;.,aii<i furniture, or if you .ilaim alimony,' . This may be claimedby eitherr'sex, but its operation is 'limited |6six months, and as a rule it sis granted)in.oases of infirmity only., .

The legal fights of the child are inno way affected by"the relations of itsparents. The child; belongs to itself. (There is no such thing as illegitimacy 1, in Soviet law. ' : ]

Custody of the child, if disputed, isusually given to the mother unless she ,(is a criminal or a "class enemy," and ,the father is expected to pay up to. jon^third of his wage or salary for itsjmaintenance to the age of eighteen— ,and "above that if there is more than ,oh? child. -~4- similar claim may be ''■ made on the mother if the father has ,the custody. But; such, matters areall. dealt with not by "Zags," which is .a'rhereVregister office, but quite separ- '■ately by-the ordinary People's Court,and they in noway affect the absoluteright';.of divorce of every man and <woman. , . : • ' ]

STILL THE LAW. , <;-, This is still the law of Red Russia, 1and in practice it results in two £idivorcesfor every five marriages regis- <■tered. ■'^hoiisands more would1 cer- '.tainly seek divorce if they were able jitffind "a separate room; they cannot (accept staying on in the same room (afterwards, and perhaps, risking their (former partner bringing in a new wife (

■or .huiband.V: ■On .the other hand, '<£ewer marriages would break down if 1city peoplewere'hot forced to live twd'<■and;,three ima room. V. / ;: (

Some-- tvo-o-thirds of the " divorcing 1.cougjes^have children, but barely 10 iperreent^bt.'them make adequate ar-rangemlemsvfor their maintenance b&>fore they;:separate.

■• On a recent visit to .the "Zags" ofmyresidential ward, now managed by !fhe "ex"-Ogpu,' I found the wholeatmosphere there changing ahead of .the law. It is no longer housed in ,the rather squalid local police station, .Vhere nice young couples on their |way to register their marriage vows ;risked' bumping into battered and ;incoherent- people brought in to be ;charged. The new premises, a tiny .grjbund-floor-flat—are relatively clean.Walls have been repapered in an ugly ■cement colour, with a dark beige (frieze, and hung with clean, enlargedphotographs of Lenin, Stalin, and WarCdmmissar Voroshilof. The old crude ■posters have been discarded. A neatbronze chandelier and a drugget car- (pot have been installed, and sickly :geraniums are on the windowsill. ;

Marriages and divorces are register- ■ed at two identical tables in the same •neat, stuffy little room, marriages by ;a slatternly young woman, divorces by'.xnefresh/young girlalready mentioned. .

While I- sat in a corner watching .proceedings an official woman guide:.led in a score of solemn middle-class. :tourists from Scandinavia and massed :them round the marriage table. Theyhad that superior "parish-visiting look" :so readily, assumed by trippers to Red ,RUssia; and it was impossible to divinewhat was/their'main interest in thatpjace. ' - , ■ *;The marriage clerk, in a bitter butresigned aside,'said to the guide: "You- bring them every1 day. Why cannot youbring fewerat onetime? One suffocateshere." Then to. the young couple shewas joining: "They all have to see this.Abroad marriage is so complicated."

Unabashed, the guide'proceeded tolecture her flock on the Soviet way ofmarriage, then shepherded themstraight out to the adjoining room

where births and deaths are registered,)without letting them notice the!divorce table. -This seemed to me tobe highly significant of the new "partyline" as applied to propaganda forforeigners.

RIGHT OF ALL.Meanwhile at that divorce table a

quiet, grim old workman, in grey can-vas, top boots, was saying over andover again to the fresh young clerk,"The law compels you to register mydivorce." There was a deadlock. 'The trouble was this: The youngwife he had married in May had stolenthings from the factory, and had goneoff to Tula without leaving an address.Itdid n^t seem to'matter'much whetheror.no she got the postcard advisingher that she had been divorced, butsome-address-had to be given, and thebitter old husband objected, on prin-ciple, to having'that postcard sent tohis own tenement. For a second timehe was. turned .., away,. complaining,"You haveVnpt. the- right to refuse."Such are the'unexpected bureaucraticobstacles to free divorce. :

When, they instituted free divorcethe Old Bolsheviks were certainly in-spired by ideals,.and it would be un-fair to .suggest'any cynical motive ontheir part now that, iry their declining:years, they'are curtailing a right ofwhich many of them have made fulluse.

TRANSITION IN BRAZILIAVHEftE EXTREMES MEET

POLITICAL1 STABILITY

Although economic and financialdifficulties continue, Brazil is gradual-ly settling down in her.new politicalhouse'(set up in July, 1934,.underthenew Constitution).withfar less disturb-ance than many people, inside or out-side Brazil, ■ had thought possible,writes the Rio de Janeiro correspond-ent of '.'The Times." The view thatthe internal political position is fair-ly stable^ is.'supported by the fact thattoday,'in-the more important States■ (Pernambuco. Bahia, the Federal Dis-trict, Sao Paulo,' Minas Geraes, and RioGrande do Siil) and in some others,the new Presidents are former inter-ventores, elected, by. the new Stateassemblies.

The'economic difficulties arecommonknowledge., Their more immediatecauses are: Excess of coffee-productionand low :prices for that '■ commodity,which •is still the ■ principal exportasset; a depreciated currency in the in-ternational exchange market; and aseries of unbalanced. Budgets. In thePress, as well as in the new FederalCongress, these are the favouritethemes of the opponents of the pre-sent regime. But such criticisms pro-duce less effecton the Brazilianpublicthan:mjght perhaps be expected. Thereare' two' reasons for' this: First, theGovernment;, itself '.admits/ arid in-deed proclaims all these ills, and notonly, promises, but -is clearly trying(somewhat ineffectually,it is true), toremedy them; and'Secondly, the pub-lic has no confidence that those whoare loudest in inveighing against theGovernment Nwould. do, any better atthe task ■ of' delivering the 'countryfrom its economic troubles.

-•..".■: A BRIGHTER SIDE.There is also a> brighter side—name-

ly, that local industries are thriving;that,'so far-at any rate, the currencyof the country has 'more or less main-tained its purchasing power internally;and that there is no unemploymentproblem. To this may be. added.theprospect that Brazilian cotton may be-come a;really valuable export asset,and that low exchange may stimulatethe exportation of other Brazilian pro-ducts.^ It is therefore hoped that thevery instability of economic conditionsin Brazil may spell a continuance ofrelative stability: in internal politicalconditions, with favourable reactionsonher economy. • •Extremist doctrines are, however,being actively propagated. Both theright-wing Integralists (more Nazi.thanFascist) and tHe left-wing Alliancists

'(more Communist than anything else)'include in their programmes a com-.plete:repudiation of foreign debts andthe nationalisation of all public worksand public.utilities. Inspired at suchsources,; such a; joint objective migrftbe considered to be of no special con-sequence; or at'least of no- immediateimportance, were it not for the factthat both wings of extremism are gain-ing ground. Of even deeper signifi-cance is the circumstance that someprominent. Brazilians and a section ofthe general, public, belonging to neitherextremist' section, either condone orapprove the advocacy of non-paymentof Brazil's- national and public utilityobligations abroad.

TAXATION REFORMS.Oh the other hand, there is a leaven

of thoughtful opinion, which is slowlypermeating politicalcircles in the coun-try. That opinion, while accepting as afait accompli. whkt it considers to bethe defective political structure es-tablished by the new Constitution, ad-vocates a general reform of the wholeof the Brazilian system of taxation, tobe preceded by a simple but. vitalmodification, of the relations betweenthe Executive and the Legislature—both the reform-and the modificationbeing operated within the present con-stitutional regime,; which is to remainintact. Though the successful develop-ment of such a scheme of transforma-tion might seem impracticable, yetthere are not wanting historic antece-dents in Brazil.' What thoughtfulBrazilians are aiming at is closer co-operationbetween Executive andLegis-lature as the, corollary of more effi-cient control of the former by thelatter. •Advocates of these ideas see no rea-son why Brazil should not rehabilitateher international credit in a very shorttime by ensuring the stability of herinstitutions, through restoration of pub-lic confidencean them, and by freeingeconomic: expansion from vexatioustrammels \ application of ataxation system, which, while operat-ing far more effectively than the exist-ing medley of taxes as a producer ofpublic revenue, would cease to impedethe healthy interplay of importand ex-port trade or to throttle the normal de-velopment of Brazil's undoubted re-sources.

There are real grounds for reason-able hope in the future in that, extre-mist propaganda notwithstanding, thegeneral temper throughout the country.today appears to be sound. That temperis to get down to work, that being re-cognised as the first step towards notonly economic recuperation and•finan-cial rehabilitation but towards politi-cal regeneration. The feeling of theaverage Brazilian today is that hiscountry is going through a period oftransition, from which he is confident.'it will emerge successfully.

PROBLEMS OF TODAY

THE CHUKCH'S FAILURE

PRINCIPLE OF SELF-DENIAL_"Affairs in the world at, large still

give cause for grave apprehension,"said the Bishop of Waiapu, the Rt.Rev. H. W. Williams, in the course ofhis annual address on Thursday after-noon to members of the' clergy andlaity at the opening of the Synod atNapier. "The financial depression haslifted but little, and a very slight im-provement has been achieved in theunemployment situation; and now itappears possible that the world maybe plunged into war. Italy has openedhostilities against Abyssinia in theface of the universal disapproval ofthe nations of the world; and who cantell wherethe trouble will end?

"In times such as this," said thebishop, "one hears harsh criticism ofthe Church, from widely-differingquarters. On the one hand there arethose, often but little interested in theChurch, who ask scornfully, 'What isthe Church doing? Why does she notboldly demand the reduction of arma-ments? 'What has she done to relievethe trouble of unemployment?' and soon.On the other hand, when efforts arebeing made resentment is shown; theclergy are told not to meddle in affairswhich are riot their business, and tokeep their hands off politics. Criticsofthe Church have generally very vagueideas of what constitutes the Church;it cannot be too strongly emphasisedthat padres of this denomination orthat are not the Church. Any defectwhich may be charged against theChurch must be placed to the accountof the laity as "well as the clergy. Andyet all these things are emphaticallythe concern of the Church. It is herduty to probe, the source of the troubleand to seek a remedy, and we mustwith shame admit that the Church'sfailure is. in a large measure at theroot of all the trouble.

A DORMANT VIRTUE."The first demand made by our L6"rd

upon a would-be, disciple is. that heshall deny himself; but this primaryChristian virtue has long been dor-mant and now largely fails to affectour national, our civic, and even burpersonal lives. '"Acquisitiveness rather than self-denial is obviously the motive of muchof our conduct," . added ..the bishop."Material wealth- has become thedominant measure value, and hencesprings every form of unhealthyrivalry..

"As far as we can judge,,greed andnational pride are the sole causes ofthe present war.' The relentless pur-suit of weslth and of money is themain factor in the impasse which wehave .reached in the financial field.Affirmation at the Christian principleof self-denial vill operate ir. all fields,and this is the Church's paramountduty. I am not without hope for thefuture, but it is folly to shut our eyesto the fact that if these ends are notobtained by Christian means attemptswill not long be delayed to achievethem apart from Christ. It is theChurch's opportunity: may she notbetray her Lord." ■

WHISTLING TUNES

THE-TRAINED BULLFINCH

Although Europeans have knownand trained andloved them .for manyyears,'piping bullfinches are new petsto most Americans, writes Peggy yonder Gqlt?, in the New .York- "Herald-Tribune." We are all accustomed tothe trained canary's song; we nolonger marvel at the: parrot's humanvocabulary. But to hear a little red-breasted Jbird scarcely larger than acanary* whistle the "Toreador Song"from "Carmen," or "The Bluebells ofScotland," or. "Home to Our Moun-tains" is a surprise and a delight. Thebullfinch's voice is a small one, but itis as sweet and clear as the magicflute. . ■ •■■■ - • '

The piping bullfinch is the most in-tensively trained pet in.the world-even if you include sporting dogs andshow horses, which-are not truly pets.The piper has been carefully trainedevery day, lovingly, carefully, unfail-ingly, for months and months, possiblyfor more than a year. Since he mustbe trained.in a quiet place wherethereare few distractions, and where hewon't be^ tempted to imitate trafficnoises and other mechanical sounds,the bullfinch is usually educated bysolitary people—by retired postmen,old soldiersand Governmentemployeeswho have seen all they want to seeof the world, and by weavers who mustsit all day at the looms. Such peoplefind companionship in the boundlessconfidence and trust which the bull-finches have for all the world; andthey make a profit on patience.

TRAINING STARTS.As soon as the youngsters are

feathered and able to crack seeds,their training starts. Each bird isplaced in a separate/cage, and fed ona small wooden platform that extendsall across the front of the cage. Andevery day—many times a day—thetrainer stands in-front of the cages andwhistles, slowly, distinctly, the song hehopes the bird will learn. Not onlymust he whistle the same tune; he mustwhistle it in exactly the same way,with the same inflections, the samerhythm, each time. He must notwhistle any other tune within thebirds' hearing while they are beingtrained.

And he must take great care to pre-vent the youngsters from hearing anyunpleasant sound, for during. theirschool days the bullfinches are distress-ingly clever, mimics. The; creak of arusty hinge, the blare of a motor horn—any sound unpleasant to our ears—delights the young" bullfinch. His ownnative song is composed of a collectionof small squeaks, grunts, and rattles,and he would rather add to ■ his farfrom musical vocabulary than learn topipe a tune. ■ .

Some trainers use phonograph re-cords in training pipers; but, while thetune is repeated exactly each time,the machine must be started andstopped at the very, instant the musicbegins and ends; otherwise the birdswill commence and finish with a per-fect reproduction of the scratchingsound of a phonograph needle. Iowned, such a bird once. He was adarling, and a grand piper; but he didscratch1.

OLD SIDE SHOWSAND STRANGE PEOPLEWHEN BARNUM FLOURISHED

HEAL FREAKS & FALSE

I Many changes have taken placeduring the course of years in the at-tractions provided by the side showsat the agricultural show, says a writerin the Melbourne "Age." The freaksof Nature, such as the Siamese'Twins,the Living Skeleton, the BonelessWonder, the Bearded Lady, thedwarfs and giants, the two-headedcalf,, and the six-legged sheep haveceased to exist, or at least the show-men, and th.eir public are convincedthat their day is over. Most of theside shows at the show this year haveinvited patrons to exercise their skillin games in which it is easier to losethan to win. ,

The origin of the side show was thepeep show. "Lord" George • Sanger,the most famous English showman ofthe Victorian era, gives in his book,"Seventy Years a Showman," an in-teresting account of his experiences asa child in the days of. the peep show.His father, who fought at the Battleof Trafalgar on board Nelson's flag-ship, the Victory, and was severelywounded in: boarding an enemy ship,was retired from the Navy on a pen-sion of £10 a year, and then made afresh start in life as a showman.Whileserving in the Navy he had acquiredsome skill in "hanky panky and con-juring" from two strolling conjurerswho were among his shipmates, andhe began his career as a showman byfitting up a small peep show. "Thiswas nothing more than a large box,carried on the back, containing somemovable and'very gaudy pictures, andhaving six peep holes fitted with fair-ly strong lenses,", writes his son.'"When a pitch was made, thebox wasplaced on a folding trestle, and thepublic were invited to walk up andsee the show. My father was an ex-cellent talker. He could 'patter' inthe most, approved style, especiallyabout the Battle of Trafalgar, scenesof whichformed one of the staple fea-tures of his little.show. In his whitesmock frock, beaver "hat, kneebreeches with worsted stockings andlow-buckled shoes—a costume henever varied to the day of his death—the tall, handsome, well-set-up youngfellow attracted much attention." .

"LIVING CURIOSITIES."After-his marriage he launched out

on a, larger scale, purchasing a cara-van in; which to travel about thecountry from one fair to another. "Heprocured new pictures, and made abigger peep show, and resolved onad-ditional attractions in the way of liv-ing curiosities. To obtain these wasthe difficulty; but he was equal to theoccasion, and very soon was travel-ling with 'Madame Gomez, the tallestwoman in the world,' and 'Tamee Ah-mee and Orio Rio, the savage cannibalpigmies of the Dark Continent.' Thisdescription sounds very imposing, butthose 'living curiosities' were not allthat they seemed. -My father hadtaken showman's licence in,introduc-ing these novelties to the public. Thisoften involves a judicious economy ofthe truth. . First, as to MadameGomez. She had nothing foreignabout her but the name, nor was shevery remarkable. as. a giantess. Art,however, aids where Nature stopsshort, arid'this is where ray fathercame in. , Madame was; exhibited on'a raised platform in the travellingbooth,, and when the company wasassembled the curtains were pulledaside and she stepped forward from amass of draperies at the back. Heractual height, which might havebeen pearly six feet, was added to byher high heels and cork raisers in hershoes, and—note the point—herdresses were made very' full andlong. ,: .f. ' '■'...■

"Seen, from the 'audience, she cer-tainly looked very tall, and my fatherwould 'patter' to the audience in thisstyle: This, ladies and gentlemen, isMadame Gomez, admitted to be thetallest woman the world has everseen. So admirably, however, is sheproportioned -that her great heightdoes not immediately impress the ob-server. In order, therefore, to as-sure you that there is no deceptionI will ask the tallest gentleman in thecompany to ascend the platform. Youwill then see that he has not theslightest difficulty in passing underMadame's extended.,armt' •THE TEST.

"The tallest man would soon bepicked out, and as he ascended thesteps' to the small platform Madamewould pull her long dresses aside anddraw; backwards as if to make, room.In making this movement she imper-ceptibly gained -a little step or dais,cunningly concealed by the back drap-eries. This dais added at least seveninches to her height; while the longdress fell around her in "seeminglyperfect fit The. arm test ■ was,. ofcourse, always easily passed underthese conditions, and the spectators in-variably went away satisfied therewas no deception." ■ '• . 'There was a similar little jugglingwith the truth in regard to TameeAhmee and Orio Rio, the savage can-nibal pigmies. They.were really tworather intelligent mulatto children,their mother being a negress andtheir father an Irishman. My fatherhad got them frbm their mother atBristol, and they were aged respecttively ten years and nine/ years.Feathers, beads, and carefully-appliedpaint gave them the necessary savageappearance, and the 'patter' did therest. 'Ladies and Gentlemen,—These wonderful people ~ are - fullygrown, being, in-fact, each over thirtyyears of age. They were capturedby Portuguese .traders, in the Africanwilds, and ■ are. incapable of ordinaryhuman speech. . Their food consistsof raw meat, and if they can capturea small animal they tear it to piecesalive with their teeth, eagerly devour-ing its flesh and drinking its blood.1Thus was the tale told, and thecredulous country folks were might-ily impressed. So successful; indeed,was the whole show that rivals onthe road hated my father bitterly,complaining that when he was abouthe took all the money."

Before he was six years of ageGeorge Sanger, the sixth child of hisparents, was doing the "patter" for hisfather's new peep show. "It was anenormous improvement on the onewherewith my father started life onthe road,", he writes. "To my child-ish mind it was indeed 'the greatestshow on earth,' and some 'of theproudest hours of my existence camein this year, when I was allowed inmy shrill treble to call the attentionof the fair-going crowds to its gloriesIt had twenty-six glasses, so thattwenty-six persons could see the viewsat -the same time, the pictures beingpulled up and down by strings. Atnight it was illuminated by a row oftallow candles, set before the picturesand the observer, and requiring veryregular snuffing. Tragedies were al-ways strong points with peep-shows,and one of our attractions at that timewas aseries o£ scenes representing the"Murder in the Red Barn." "Walk up!Walk up!" I would pipe, "and see theonly 'correct views of tht terrible mur-

der of Maria Martin. They are his-torically accurate and true to life, de-picting the death of Maria at the handsof the villain Corder, in the. famousRed Barn. You will see how the ghostof Maria appeared to her mother onthree successive nights at the bedsideleading to the discovery of the bodyand the arrest of Corder at EveleyGrove House, Brentford, seven milesfrom London." When we had our rowof spectators getting their pennyworthsfrom the peep-holes, I would describethe various pictures as they were pull-ed into view. The arrest of Corderwas always given special prominence,as follows:—"The arrest of the mur-derer Corder. as he was at breakfastwith the two Miss Singletons. Lee, theofficer, is seen entering the door andtelling Corder of the serious chargeagainst him. Observe the horrifiedfaces of the ladies, and note, also, sotrue to life are these pictures thateven the saucepan is shown upon thefire, and the minute glass upon thetable, timing the boiling of the eggs!"

HUMAN FREAKS.Many of the so-called freaks of Nat-

ure exhibited by showmen of a pre-ceding generation were frauds, butsome were genuine. •" To understand theattraction such exhibitions and peep-shows had for the general public it isnecessary to remember that very littlein the way of public entertainment wasprovided. Sports and games had notbeen developed to anything like theextent that they have since been, andnot only were there no films or wire-less,but even the'theatre was frownedupon by the churches, and thereforewas tabu to most families. Neverthe-less its seems incredible that 800,000people paid to see Mile. Bois deCheyne, the bearded lady, when shewas exhibited in England in 1852-53.She was a Sv/iss girl,- having beenborn at Versoix' in • 1831. At the ageof eight years she had a beard of twoinches, which increased to five inchesby.the time she.was fourteen. Whenshe was exhibited in London she wastwenty-two years of age, and had astrong, black beard, and thick hair onher arms and back. -She married aFrench artist, M. Clofullia, and theirfirst child, a boy, was covered withhair at birth. Barnum'engaged thebearded lady to appear at his mu-seum in New York in ,1853,. and, ,asusual, he adopted enterprising-meth-ods of drawing public attention to thelatest attraction of the museum. Heinduced a man named William Can-to take legal proceedings for the re-turn of the 25 cents (one'shilling) hehad paid for admission to see thebearded lady, the claim for refundresting on the .contention.,that'the ladywas a man. Thia gave Barrium the op-portunity of putting doctors and.herhusband in the.witness-box to proveshe was a woman. ..'■'

THE RECORD.No human freak has ever approach-

ed the record of the famous dwarfGeneral Tom Thumb as a money spin-ner. But there- was nothing extraor-dinary about this dwarf, and his suc-cess as a public attraction over a longperiod of years was due to the skil-ful showmanship of Barnum. WhenBarnum first saw Tom Thumb (hisreal name was Charles SherwoodStratton) at Bridgeport, Connecticut,TJ.SA., where the-dwarf lived with hisparents, the boy Was five years of age,weighed 151b, and measured 2 feet 1inch in height. Barnum engaged theboy for exhibition at his museum .atNew York, but as he was doubtfulwhether a dwarf would prove muchof an attraction, the engagement wasfor only four weeks, at a salary of 3dollars (12s 6d a week), plusboard andlodging for the child and his mother.•Barnum advertised the "Child."as beingeleven years old, in - order to createthe impression that his small size wasmore abnormal than was actually thecase. He also advertised him as havingbeen imported from England at greatexpense, as vi those days' Americanshad not begun to boost themselves,and preferred importations from Eng-land to local products. It was Barnumwho christened the dwarf Tom Thumb(after the dwarf in Charles; Perraull'sfairy story), gave him the title of gen-eral, and dressed him in a militaryuni-form •as; a miniature Napoleon. Hisweight increased to 251b.at twenty-fiveyears of age, and eventually he reach-ed a height of 3 feet 4 inches.

Barnum boomed Tom Thumb so ef-fectively in New York that he prov-ed a decided attraction, and the en-gagement was renewed for a year.at7 dollars (295) a week. The salary wasincreased to 25 dollars (£5) when TomThumb's parents awakened .to thevalue Of their son to Barnum, andsubsequently the salary, was raised to50 dollars (£10). The dwarf" sangsongs in a piping .treble, danced andtold stories. He had the pert mannerof a forward child, and this added tothe attractions of the midget for adults.After two years in New York'Bar-num took him to England in 1844,where the enterprising showman suc-ceeded in getting a command fromQueen Victoria to bring the midget toBuckingham.Palace: The Queen- tooka fancy to. Tom Thumb.; and he ap-peared at Buckingham./Palace • three:times to ariiuse : the ■ children. Thismade the dwarf famous throughout'England, and enormous; crowds throng-ed to see him at the*Egyptian:Hall iriPiccadilly; where he was publicly ex-hibited by Barnum'at 'a shilling ahead. And society hostesses viedwith one another to secure the dwarfat their parties to entertain guests—at ten guineas an-evening.

When Barnum took the, midget ontour to France, Belgium, and. Spainhe was received, by the monarchs ofthese countries. By that- time thedwarf's parents had fully awakenedto his financial'value,'and the tourwas conducted on a basis of equalshares between Barnum and them. Itwas said that the net proceeds of thetour of Great Britain and the Con-tinent, which lasted three years,reached £150,000. When Barnum tookthe midget back to America he adver-tised him extensively as having beenreceived by all the crowned headsof Europe, and this added greatly tothe midget's fame and his drawingpower. .■"■'..

HEALTH CAMPAIGN

SPORTS AT PETONE

The sum of £27 12s 7d was takentit the gate at the Petone RecreationGround on Saturday afternoon whena, novel sporting programme arrangedby the Pet.one committee of the Child-

ren's Health.Camp campaign was held.With the sum of £36 Gs lOd realisedrecently fromthe street day it was ex-pected that the committee would gainits objective by raising £100 for theweek's effort, said Mr. W. Nash, M.P.,who addressed the gathering.

The programme .': opened with acricket match between the PetpneBorough Council and the Fire Brigadecaptained by the Mayor, Mr. A. Schole-field, and the superintendent, Mr. J.P.. Gaynor, respectively. The gamewas not played according to strictcricket principles, but it did not loseinterest on that account. The councilteam scored 41 runs in dashing fashion,but the Fire Brigade collected a fewruns more.

More serious sport followed. Acyclist (T. Roe) and a runner (Jack-son) tried conclusions over 100 yards,the cyclist winning by about twoyards. In another 100 yards encountera runner (Crooks), who was conceded50 yards by a whippet (Mikado), wonby about 15 yards. The whippet gotthe worse of the start and its time forthe 100 yards was 6 l-ssec, a secondmore than the runner took for the 50yards. White Flash, the championNorth Island whippet, gave a cyclist(P. Roe) a flying start, and won in 7l-ssec for the, 100 yards,

One of the best events was that be-tween a trotter (Lord Wrack)-and acyclist (T. Roe) over a mili journey.For half the distance the cyclist rodesteadily on the wheels of the sulky,but from then the trotter opened agap and camein several yards aheadof the cyclist, who had to contendwith a rough track. The same trottertried conclusions with a runner (Fitz-simmons) over 150 yards, and takingthe lead after the first 50, won in llsec.The runner's'time was 12sec.

Three heats were run in the 175ydswhippet races, and the.final was wonby Roamer, jn 9 3-ssec. The owner, Mr.Nicholas, was. presented by Mr. Nashwith a trophy, given by Mr. R. H.Jones. . ,

All sorts of bicycles were seen innovelty races, which created consider-able amusement, the riders beingarrayed in ■ hideous-looking femaleattire.

The, programme concluded with adisplay by the Fire Brigade.

MURIEL BRUNSKILL

PROOFS OF A GREAT ARTIST

Madame Muriel BrunskilTs secondconcert given at the Town Hall onSaturday should long be rememberedby the large audience present. Anattractive and -well-diversified pro-gramme was submitted but that wasnot all—there were the proofs shegave of the richness and versatility. ofher ar*>. She held her hearers spell-bound throughout the.evening and fortheir part they were willing subjectsof her charms, artistic and personal.

A feature of the programme was thenumber of modern English songs byArmstrong Gibbs, Vaughan Williams,and the late Gustav Hoist, supplement-ed by a song, "Where Corals Lie," bySlgar. During' the: evening she alsosang "Three Fishers," most potentlypopular of all songs in the repertories,of great contraltos of the past, arm.sang it beautifully, too; but it is fareasier to get over than; those songsof our day and generation by-the com-posers whose names are mentionedabove. On Wednesday Madame Bruiv-skill purposes to sing some of the songsof Hugo Wolf which not'only makeexacting demands upon the singer butcall for an attentive and respectfulhearing by those;to. whom they aresung. Madame Brunskill, at her firstconcert in Wellington last week, notonly displayed the beauty of her voiceand the perfection of her technique,but also, proved . the. soundness . andwide extent of her .musicianship. . Shefurnished additional evidence of thisin her concert on Saturday in the con-fidence with which she submittedsongs that in some respects are revo-lutionary in a musical sense. She be-gan,with the glorious aria "Stella delMarinar" from "La Gioconda" (Pon-chielli), followed by "Non piu di fiore,'from "La Clemenza di Tito" (Mozart),the latter number being remarkablefor the exhibition of the rich gifts ofnature and art bestowed on the singer.Again recourse was had to Schubertythe songs given being. "Der Tod uriddas Madchen" (sung with penetratingappreciation), "Am Strome," "Dieliebe hat gelogen," and "DieAllmacht"(Hymn to the Almighty). : This weU-diversified group from Schubert wasadded to by "Gretchen am Spinrmrde,"in all of which Madame Brunskill dis-played a subtle modelling in the melo-dic outline. .

The modern English songs alreadyreferred to were "Silent Noon" and"The Water Mill," by .Vaughan Wil-liams; three hymns from theRig Veda-Ushas (dawn), Varuria (sky), andMaruts (storm clouds), by Gustav Hoist,and "Silver" and "Five Eyes", (wordsby Walter de la Mare); "Oh, Nightin-gale," "Love's Prisoner," "SailingHome-ward," and "February," all by Arm:strong Gibbs. Not all of these songs(of our era) might meet with so gen-eral an acceptance as. say, "Three Fish-ers," "The Lost Chord," or,the ,Segui-dilla from ■ "Carmen" (which MadameBrunskill sang again- 'on .Saturday), or.even Tschaikowsky's "To toe :Forest.But after hearing modern English songsas she sang theni on Saturday andmarking their effect upon' the raptaudience it would appear'that theiiinclusion in Saturday's programmewaswelcome and justified,if onthe groundsof popularity alone: ' Recalled againand again, Madame Brunskill was mostgracious in the matter of' extras, anaone of these was "Vdy'ous que j'essaie,'the card song in "Carmen;" sung inEnglish and with great dramatic effect.

Mr. Carl Bartling's pianoforte solosincluded the Pastorale and Capriccioof Scarlatti, and short, daintily-playedpieces by Chaminade, Rachmaninoff,Iand Grieg, and Mazourka by Debussy.Mr. Bartling made light:of-the.difficul-ties in the Humoresque •of: Rachmanin-off, and played the Scarlatti numberwith refinement and ,grace; -His ac-companiments in themselves were apleasure to listen to, especially in theSchubert and English songs. 'A special "goodbye" concert \vm begiven next Wednesday night, in re-Isponse to many demands, and amongthe numbers on the programme -willbe "Mad Bess" (Purcell), "Song of theiGenie" (Granville Bantock),' "TheAdoration" (John Ireland), "Across theDoor" (Bax), "ÜberNacht." "ZurRun,"Der Frcund" (Wolf)', "Spring, theSweet Spring," "To Daffodils." "TheGarden of the Seraglio" (Delius).'.'lmmanence" (RutlandBoughton)r andfive lovely songs by Richard Strauss.The encore numbers will bo chosen bythe public, and requests should be leftat Begc's not later than noon onWednesday. Carl Bartling will playsolos by Macdowell. Schumann, andChopin. The box plan and unreservedtickets are at Begg's.

WIN BY TUIRAU

(By Tolegraph.)(Special to the "Evening Post.")

DUNEDIN, October 12,If Chrysology had only stayed a bit

better in tne Waksri Hurdles he wouldhave won easily. Jumping much bet-ter,he was soon half a dozen lengthsin front of Vitaphone and was settinga merry pace. Black Duke and RedLance headed the others. Chrysologywas no sooner over the last jump thanlie commenced,to tire and the firstday's winner joined him. In a goodtussle to the post Vitaphone did best.Black Duke came home solidly again.He made a bad jump at the six fuc-longs. Ihe winner broke Black Duke'strack record by one-fifth of a second.Though she had failed to run on inprevious races Dissemble, with 31b al-lowance, made comparatively easywork of the Novice Handicap. Sheraced clear of Restrain and GoldenVision with two furlongs covered,drawing out in the last furlong for acomfortable, and her first, win. Olivercame home solidly to justbeat GoldenVision. Paladino and Made Moneywere chopped out at the start. Thefavourite Wynwood was never sighted.Glee wpn easily, at the finishof the Kaikorai Handicap, but QueenDorothy came with such a burst fromnowhere to. beat Tail Light that betterplaced throughout she must have beeaa lot more dangerous. The favouriteSuperex was squeezed to last at thestart and registered a good effort tofinish fourth. Tail Light had everychance - but a little more assistancefrom his rider might have given himsecond. Song Boy was alongside thswinner until the distance post. HignGlee equalled the track record heldby Listening Post and Cricket Bat.

RANFCRLY HANDICAr.Tuirau went .up. to the pacemaker

Tuirau still had enoughin reserve just to hold her opponentin,a ding-dong fight to the post, thepair finishing on their own.

FAVOURITE GOESWELL.:'.Viking • made the pace till theystraightened; vp1 in the DunedinGuineas, on which there was excellentbetting. Then Kihnoull, who hadnever been further back than second,took.command, while Greek Shepherd,last at the half-mile, was beginning toclose up. The favourite, however,was doing it well, Greek Shepherd be-ing- able only to make certain of sec-ond place. Viking went a fairly goodrace but'the others were lengths away.Greek Shepherd attempted to give toobig a start to the leaders.

There was an exciting'finish in theDominion Handicap. Amount andStudley Royal led Asset and Docu-ment into the straight and just asStudley Royal gave way to the favour-ite, Document, on'the inner, and Asset,on the.outside, commenced strongly topress Amount, Amount only gettingthe verdict. Asset was travelling fast,a narrow margin away.The finish wasso close that some thought Documenthad won. •■ .- v■ • : "A DEAD HEAT.

Horn's Reef had the measure ofparing Deed commencing the last fur-long and ran home a nice winner witha last-minute dash.

MELBOURNE," October 13.The weather was showery, but there

was a good attendance for the racesat Caulfield.

Brilliant Sun had a comfortable winin the Orby Hurdles. He was a fail-ure in the.early stages of his career,but has now registered four wins anda third in iive starts. The New Zea-land-bred Calydon, who was second,made his best Australian effort to date.

Sir Geraint, bred by his owners, wasprominent always, but had .a luckywin in the Debutant Stakes for coltsfrom Gilded Youth, who finished bril-liantly. The early leader, Borneo, wasa promising third, and the New Zea-lander, Martinborough, sixth.

Lady Mauve compensated her owner,A. Crofts, for Gilded Youth's defeat,by capturing the Debutante Stakes forfillies by a lucky run on the rails, shecost 350 guineas as a yearling. Hertrainer, Hoysted, wonthe race last yearwith Matinee.

Feldspar finished brilliantly to beatthe: pacemaker, Charles Fox, and Mara-bpu in the- Caulfleld Stakes. Syna-.gogue was interfered with near thepost, but was beaten at the time. How-ever, he may have secured third place.

Young Idea finished brilliantly to winthe Guineas. His trainer,1F. Foulsham,scored previously with Liberal andAvant Courier, Garrio continued hisUnlucky run of seconds. The Trumpfinished fast to beat Carnarvon forthird. The early leader, Hadrian, waslast home, and Valiant Chief was nevera possibility. '• A. Eeed, rider of thewinner, won 'previously on Balmerinoand Greenwave.

Red Ray finished strongly to defeatYarramba, who■ also finished well, inthe Herbert Power Stakes. Panto;sthird was a great effort, and he shouldappreciate an'lllb drop in the Caui.'field Cup. ■•■• Greenhorn finished well,but Cape Morn faded out. \

There was a wonderful finish in th«Toorak Handicap. Journal and Eptgram raced together for the last halffurlong. Epigram's form was an irnprovement on his effort at Kyneton orWednesday, when he ran unplaced ira weak field. Journal was third irthe Toorak Handicap last year.

DANNEVIRKE MEETING?MANY FAVOURITES BEATEN

SLIPPERY'S OVERDUE WIN

(Special to the "Evening Post.")PALMERSTON N., October 12.; :• The weather was delightful for thej

Dannevirke Racing Club's Meeting, jheld under the auspices of the Wai-i

: pukurauvJockey Club at Waipukurau■ today, and there was a satisfactory at-tendanceof the public. Thetrack was

;ia good order. The totalisator invest-ments amounted to £3013. There wasno corresponding meeting last year, but,at the, Waipukurau*Club's Special Meet-ing in ■ November the turnover was

[ £3520 10s..:; LADY SPY'S HURDLES.

•,: Lady, Spy, whose hurdling effortshaye1 been o£a mixed ox'der since shetook on this department of the game,was on her day in the Tuki TukiHurdles; which she won practically allthe. way. She ran down the last fence; badly,-but was well clear and had notrouble in going on-to score by two;,lengths from Thrasher, with the

..favourite, <Jazz King, a length back..These were the only horses to finish.Tahoma was pulled up at th,e firstfence, his rider having lost a stirrup,and Royal Bengal fell at the lastfence.' ' .i-Though making her race- debut,1Huhtette, whom report stated had. beendoing excellent track work, was in-stalled favourite for the Maiden Raceand, after receiving all the best of thestart, she led throughout to score bya length fronrHard Tunes and ForeignKing, who wiftre always at the head ofthe others. Ballycularie was fourth.The winner is a three-year-old bay fillyby Hunting Song from the Cynic mareCynette, ahali-sister ,to Scotch Mixtureand Startle, -and she is held on leasebyvthe Hastings trainer W: D. Youngfrom Mrs. C. G. Fisken, wife of herbreeders .. " . ' ■:i^ili'HUNTING CAT AGAIN.\ ';i\Hunting Cat followed up his hack'middle-distance success at Napier Parka week, earlierby also taking the Wai-pukurau Hack Cup, for whichvhe wasfavourite but at quite a fair price. Heran a somewhatsimilar race again, buton this occasion left his run till theywere in the .straight Imasurvey setthe main and was still just the leaderas they turned for home, with Unex-pected, Confiscation, and Royal Papanext, followed by Thane and thefavourite. Confiscation then shot tothe front, but she could not withstandher challenges, and Hunting Cat gotup on the inner to win- by a lengthfrom Thane, who beat Confiscation byahead. Unexpected was fourth. Thiswinner seems to be improving all thetime and he promises to be anotheruseful performer for Mr. O. Nelson.

Lady Cheval, whose only previoussuccess was in a maiden event on thecourse last Easter, was a surprisepacket in the Ruahine Hack Handi-cap, for which Windward was backed

•as though unbeatable. Lady Chevaljumped put smartly and she was nevercaught, winning by four lengths fromBlue Garter, with Consummation alength off third. This winner is a five-year-old chestnut mare by Colossusfrom the Advance mare Cheval, asister to Mollyhawk, a useful perform-er on the West Coast, and she is ownedby Mr.;W. Stoddart and is trained onthe track. -'. . •"■.'•■ ■.'■• ■■■.•.-.■,.:■■• ■;?<?&;'mESURINA/NARROWLY.'" -1 "

Mesurina confirmed his Napier Parkform-by scoring again in the NoviceRace, for which he was one of the fewhorses- without an allowance. He wasnext behind Hard Times till a furlongfrom the finish, but he ran on the bet-'ter and got up in the last stride toscore by, half a head. The favouriteVersion was a length way, with Re-vival- next.. Hard Times continues tobie; a.most unlucky l.orse, as with anyluck he might have opened his accountin either of his two races today.

Slippery has a fine record on thewaipukurau course, and he notchedMa,third "consecutive win over sevenfurlongs there in the President's Han-dicaps Souchong made the running tothe,straight, with Slippery.

Itwas a poor start, inwhich Souchong and Slippery receivedan advantage, but in which Speed'schance was practically extinguished,blippery, after many minor placings,'was recording his first win thisseason.±, "fKjy Landing, whose chancethrough Hunting Cat,; to, whom-he wassecond at Napier, looked excellent, wasmade a solid favourite for the SpringHack Handicap, but he went under bya short neck to Treasure Hunt, whofinished brilliantly from behind theneldjin the straight.

EFFECt OF TAXATION

• Just lately there has been a verymarked importation of French horsesinto England owing to the exorbitant,taxation which the French Govern-ment has inflicted on racing, writes"The Post's" London correspondent.At the recent DeauvUle sales half ofthe total purchase-money ■ was fur-nished by English owners.

English'owners have not been slowin taking advantage of the situationthat has been created in France, andas the result there is a great influx ofFrench racehorses, both young andold. They certainly are up to thestandard of the best English . horses,and in consequence they are winninga number of . races in this country.This situation is entirely due to the

i taxation problem that has- recentlyarisen for, the French . owners;

GOOD WIN BY CALIENTE

GUINEAS TO ENTAIL

(Special from "Early Bird.")AUCKLAND, October 12.■ Erination and Lord Val had a keen

duel over the last five furlongs in theTrial Hurdles,, .and. the former madehis only bad jump at the penultimatefence,-but came again and won com-fortably at good odds. Lord Val gavehis .best showing to date. Delrain was'a modest third, several lengths clear ofDark';Marble,.Bed Sun, Greek Gold,and' Merry Lap," who were bunchedabout fifteen .lengths behind the-win-ner,: . Red Sun was nearly half a' fiir-ldng.'behind the leaders passing thepost ;the first time and .will improve.

ENTAIL'S SURPRISE WIN.Therewas.a-surprise in the Guineas,

Entail winning at double figures. Gali-lee and1 Haut Monde led to the straightfrom Bantry. (on - the rails) and'Dv Barry (on the outside), the quartetbeing,five lengths clear of Entail, withLowenberg still further back. Theleading four were in a line at the dis-tance and 'then Dv Barry got her headin front; only' to weaken quickly.Galilee drew out, but Entail finishedvery fast on the .outside and won goingaway like a good colt. :Bantry was aa good ithird, [not quite clear of HautMonde and Dv Barry, with'intervals toLowenberg and' Velocipede. The win-ner was up handy to the half-mile,where, he dropped well back, but hisfinal run was irresistible and made theopposition look rather cheap. The;timewas. a\ second slower than the' recordfor the race held by Golden Wings andGay Blonde.' ' ■Jonathan, topweight in ,the. ShortsHandicap, was a good thing beaten, fortailing the fleW to the straight he wasunable .to get through the field until itwas too late." Mother Superior, BritishColumbia, Star Artist, and Puss Mothwere close together at, the home- turn,and Astarth joined the leaders at thehalf distance and then failed to, go on,Star Artist winning nicely from Jona-than- and British Columbia, withAstarth, Adalene, ,- Mother Superior,Princess Star, and Puss Moth next, thelast-named cracking up badly.

CALIENTE SETS A RECORD., The Mitchelson Cup was a fine race,with the lightweights fighting it outand, Caliente prevailing in the mannerof a good stayer. Baroscope and GayRose made the pace early, the fieldstringing out, quickly, the last bunchcomprising KiltoTyyn, Rust (who wasprominent,early), Suriee, Mungatoon,Kelly, Silver Brier, and- Arctic King,the last-named being the whipper-in.Baroscope led down the back stretch,where Gay Rose, Knight' of Australia,King Rey, Monanui, and Caliente werehandy, with Kiltowyn in the middleof the field. Baroscope led Calienteand a bunch into the straight, Calientetaking charge at the distance, andstalling off Tybalt, won by nearly alength. Baroscope, whowas at for-lorn odds, was right up, third,, withKing Rev, Sunee, Knight of Australia,Rust, Kiltowyn, andEnge following^/Caliente, the relative, to Phar Lap,

stayed on well and her success wasWell deserved, for she was the last toleave ythei'barrier. - She 'gave R. E.Walsh,, trainer^ Bagby's .apprentice, his.first ride. Caliente.is engagedin the- New Zealand Cup; in which herweight is- certain to■■be reviewed.' Ty-balt finished strongly and. "King Reyran well after being none too lucky intheKrunning. ■'.■■ Monanui ; and SilverBrier are likely Improvers. Sunee fin-ished brilliantly after stumbling pass-ing- the post -the first time. Calienteregistered record' time for the race,a full second better than the previousbest bjrRoyal Artist.Gascille won the Hunters' Steeple-chase easily enough after Petrarch hadgone to the front commencing the lastround and looked like a winner at thelast fence, where Semiarch, in secondplace, dropped his rider. ClarionCall, the favourite, fell at the secondfence. ~

THE WELCOME STAKES.Stretto, the favourite, outclassed theWelcome Stakes field, whileGallio waseasily second best. Gallio and Anionwere the,first to break a good lineand then Gallio ran to a clear leadover .Stretto at the. home turn, withtheothers, except Gay Streak arid Viva-cious, well bunched. Strefto collaredGallio. inside the distance, and-after ashort struggle bested him comfortably.to;_witr by two ana a half lengths-'Gallio was four lengths clear of abunch" comprising.

CARBINE MEMORIES

FIRST SIGHT OF SNOW

,: Garbine forms the subject of the fol-lowing interesting. passage in "Memo-ries," byv the Duke,:of Portland, whopurchased hinifor 13500g5..

During his first-winter in Englandthere was a very heavy fall of enow,the like of which- Carbine, had" neverseen in Australia. He was alwaysridden. at exercise by Jack Cunning-ham, who came over with him, and hewas saddled and bridled in his box.When the door was •.opened arid Car-bine saw the snow he came to the doorand pawed it with both feet Then hesmelt it, shook his head, and refusedabsolutely to go but of his box. Afterwaiting a few minutes Cunninghamsaid to him: "Well, you old fool! Ifyou won't come out, you can jollywell stay at home!" Next morningmuch the same thing happened again:the horse pawed, the snow, smelt it,and finally took a mouthfuL Then hebounded out of his box and rolled fornearly five minutes in the middle ofthe yard. ■He could "AQt •bear to get his earswet,,but once when he was being sad-dled and bridled to run for the Mel-bourne Cup it began to rain. Forsome time he refused to go out of hisbox, 50..-in desperation, his trainer,:Higginbbtham, putupan umbrella andwalked to:the starting-post, carryingthis over the horse's head. Wher* he|was at the starting-post with the|other horses; he paid no further atten-itipri to:the wet, however—-and he wonthe race. In consequence of this idio-syncrasy Higgihbothara had a leather[protector made like a small umbrellaIwhich he attached to the bridle, sothat rain could not fall on Carbine'sears, and this, contraption was sent toWelbeck with.him.-lie did not mindrain on his body, but could not bearit on..his ears.:: ■..' . ■ •

THE SALE OF TURNPENCE

The disappointing Tuppence, forwhom the Hon. Dorothy Paget gave6000gs as a yearling, was sold in Eng-land last month for 250gs after runninglast in a small selling event at Yar-mouth. However, such disappoint-ments have not affected the courageof Miss Paget, for she bought just asenthusiastically as ever at the Don-caster sales. She possesses in the two-year-old Bossoyer colt, who was de-feated at Dohcaster by the Aga Khan'sMahrrioud, a youngster of great possi-bilities, though Mahmoud is •certainly|at present the better of the pair, andhe looks likely to make a fine three-year-old.

WORKING HOURS

AN AUSTRALIAN VIEW

RELATION TO PRODUCTION(To the Editor.)

Sir,—ln' your issue of September27 you published a statement by theHon. William -Brooks on the "ShorterWorking Week." Ido not propose tocomment upon the statement, but re-spectfully request that you publish theenclosed speech made by Sir FrederickStewart, Under-Secretary for Labour,Federal Government, Australia, whoclaims to be one of the largest em-.pioyersof labour in Australia, andjwho, ,1 feel sure, is as greatly con-cerned with cosfs.as the Hon. William-Brooks.—l am, eta,•'\ ■F. CORNWELL', Secretary, '[■'' Wellington Trades and Labour.

"'■' ,' Council...Slightly -abridged, Sir Frederick

.Stewart's speech was as follows:—i "I-regard.the matter now under dis-cussidh as one of the most important'items on the agenda of the conference,arid for that reason I deeply regretthe attitude of the employers' groupin declining to participate in the workof the committee and in the formula-tion of any resultant decisions. ... As:'a result of my personal experience asone of the largest individual employersof labour in Australia, and owing tothe ■Varied nature of the enterprises inwhich11.aminterested, I have a visionof : industrial realities quite as clearas thati possessed by any delegate ofany :bf the groups represented in thisconference.'; It is indeed because ofthat experience and because of myknowledge, of my fellow-employersthat I am, emboldened to affirm thatthe attitude .of the employers' group!. . . does not truly represent.the. feel-ing of employers -as a ■whole."';:

Examining-the reasons .advanced byMr. Oerstad/who;voiced the employ-ers' attitude, -Sir 'Frederick- said thatif it were claimed that the reductionof the normal working week would, sofar from •alleviating unemployment,■aggravate it, then a reversion shouldlogically be urged to the longer work-ing hours, of the last century. WouldMr.. Oerstad be prepared to do this?The' fact' wa's that' ' labour-saving ar-rangements had so..revolutionised.in-1diistrial practice and diminished the!necessity for labour as to change therelationship: between' wage bill andproduction costs. ' Mr. Oerstad's ap-parent exposition of the employers'attitude, that the wage bill was the\governing factor in production costs,was not supported by analysts. Inmanufacturing industry, where rawmaterials played an important part, thereduction of working hours would notprove as burdensome as was sug-gested. Speaking of the textile in-dustry as"a mill owner himself,.SirFrederick alluded to advice since hehad arrived at Geneva of a 20 percent, increase in; materials, principally,wool,' which represented a. greater in-;crease in- final production costs than:any.reduction of hours likely to be ap-proved. Why should the attitude to-'wards the man who sold wool be dif-ferent from that towards the man who!sold labour?

"Much as we may dislike makingthe confession," continued Sir Freder-ick,."! am afraid we must admit thatindustry has been prone to be unpre-:pared to accord to its. workers anequitable participation .in. the benefits:.resulting from the improved techniquevTvblch -has:been- such a feature :qf-4at^ter<lay industrialism. In no previousage has the ingenuity of man been sosuccessfully applied to the creation oflabour-saving devices resulting- in-1 -a-lessened, and, I believe, permanentlylessened, requirement for human lab-our. Far [from deploring this, Imaintain that it would be a poorVcom-pliment to the-Creator who gave to!man a brain-power"which distinguishes!him from the brute creation if we did jnpt exploit that power to the full forthe benefit of mankind. But let that!benefit be equally distributed, and itis not so distributed if the: financialgains are monopolised by patentees, byshareholders, and even by consumers,!while the workers' only participationtakes the form-of an increasing volumeof unemployment. Can we, if we arehonest with ourselves, deny that thisis -a reasonable presentation of thecase?" . . I

Dealing, with the point made that,even if a convention were framed, itsgeneral observance could not be guar-anteed, Sir Frederick said.that suchnon-conformity, if sufficiently. serious,might be an adequate reason for dis-pensing with a conference altogether,but was not a reason when applied toonly one of a number of proposals onthe agenda. A strict application ofthe contention that because workinghours affected production costs theconference should" refrain from ex-pressing itself onthe issue would can-cel most of the 44 conventions formu-lated at Washington in 1919. In factthe whole, work of the conferencewould be stultified, and even the over-whelming decision in regard' to juven-ile employment would fall within theprohibition.

Stating that grave disappointmentwould be felt if the withdrawal of avital section of the conference frus-trated ■an effort to relieve unemploy-ment, he said he was authorised tostate that, should the majority of na-tions be in favour of and adopt theforty-hour .week, the Commonwealthwould use its best endeavours to ob-tain agreement and concurrence onthe part of the Australian States sothat the ground might be cleared forratification by the Commonwealth.

Remarking that the eight-hour daywas introduced in Australia in 1856,and was now practically universal inindustry there, and that hours of workwere regulated by Courts, he said thatin 1920 the Federal Arbitration Courtof Australia awarded a.44-hour weekto a large group of industries. "We areable to show' a progressive reductionin the working week during recentyears. The nominal hours of labourin Australia during 1914 were 48.9hours per week; in 1920, 47.07; in 1925,46.6; while in 1933 they had fallen to45.36.

"I appreciate that .the recent stress-ful times have compelled employingagencies to intensify their strugglesfor industrial efficiency and economy;I am afraid, however,. that oft-timesthis result has been achieved by ask-ing the wage-earner to carrymore thanhis-fair share of the necessary sacri-fice. Have wenot in our own experi-ence witnessed the merging of largeindustrial interests, banking institu-tions, newspaper establishments, manu-facturing concerns, and transport cor-porations, all designed, to reduceoperating costs, principally in thedirection of the payroll? We haveseen this, and.we have been told ofthe advantages resulting from theelimination - of wasteful competition.But we have also seen the other sideof the.-picture; we .have seen Jargenumbers of ■ employees turned adriftbecause the merging, of staffs'has ren-dered them redundant. By all meanslet us have all the.benefits of mech-anisation and of rationalisation, butlet the industrial worker collect hisshare of the benefits. It is because Ican think of no more logical way ofarranging this than by an appropriatereduction in working hours that theproposal now before the conferencehas.my fullest' commendation."

NATIONAL LIBRARYDETAILS OF SCHEME

POOLING Of RESOURCES

RURAL DISTRICTS

(Special to the "Evening Post.")CHRISTCHURCH, This Day

When interviewed on his ar-rival at Christchurch the Prime Min-ister (the Kt. Hon. G. W. Forbes) in-dicated that the Government had beenconsidering for some time the possi-bility of improving the library facili-ties of the Dominion, particularly inrural areas. •The Prime Minister explained thatin the past the Government-had en-deavoured to assist the smaller lib-raries by means of individual subsi-dies. - This, system had been found tobe ineffective as the libraries whichthe subsidies were"intended to assistcould not,by this means be placed in.possession of the substantial .funds re-quired to provide a sufficiently variedchoice of books to meet.the demandfor both educational and recreationalliterature. The' whole position hadbeen carefully investigated and report-ed upon recently by Mr. Ralph Munn,a representative of the Carnegie Cor-poration," associated with Mr. JohnBarr, one of the Dominion's leadinglibrarians. The Government much ap-preciated the intimation that the cor-poration was prepared to- continueits interest and assistance in impro^ing the present position.

PLAN FOR CO-OPERATION.■ "The plan that is now being consid-ered by the Government is based onthe principle of co-operation betweenall New Zealand libraries' so as tomake the total resources availableover the whole area," said Mr. Forbes."It contemplates, at,the head of thesystem, a national library, with a.com-prehensive lending department, one ofthe .essential functions of which wouldbe to collaborate .with all' other lib-raries, both in the main centres andin rural districts; in providing thebestpossible distribution of the widerrange of literature that will be at itsdisposal. - . . ■ sp

"The scheme does not involve anyinterference with the local control ofexisting libraries. It is intended mere-ly to-increase their means of useful-nesswhich are. at present restricted bythe limited funds now at their dis-posal- .: ' ..,'.: ; '~'.'•"■

QUESTION OF HOUSING."Detailsfor the establishment of this

national library are - already takingshape and it is anticipated that it willbe.possible for this purpose to com-bine the existing Parliamentary Lib-rary with the Turnbull Library andwith:the library of the Royal Society.The question of the provision of; suit-able housing for the proposed insti-tution either by way.of an extensionof the present' Parliamentary Libraryor by a new building on the site ofthe present museum is being consid-ered by the Government and the Pub-lic Works Department has been in-vestigating suitable plans. ■"Dr. G. H. Scholefield,' the Parlia-mentary Librarian, is at present visit-ing Europe and America and is in-quiring into all aspects of the matterthat may be useful.:. ; .

"Without any serious additional costto the country the national library, asproposed, would have the funds andthe facilities to acquire and distributeliterature on the widest possible scale,and it is proposed jthat the booksavailable for loan in the national lib-rary should be distributed both by asystem ofregular exchanges to smallerlibrariesand by individual'applicationsfrom readers in any part of the coun-try. Rural libraries, for example,would;receive regular ■ supplies ofbooks from the national library, re-turning them when finished with andobtaining fresh supplies. It is con-sidered that by this means readerseven in the remotest districts, wouldbe able to obtain the widest possiblerange of literature. The scheme wouldalso, no doubt, be of great assistancein extending the literature availablefor use in schools. : . 'IN SCATTERED AREAS.

"Some organisation to cover thewhole of the rural areas, includingthe more scattered areas, where thereare no libraries, at all, will be neces-sary and this is being investigated atthe present time by; a small commit-tee of expert librarians and two Gov-ernment officers. . ■• "One of the main difficulties of resi-dents 'in rural districts," said : Mr.Forbes, "is the insufficient supply ofsuitable literature. Particularly is thisfelt by the young people who are un-able to continue their education whenthey have left school owing to theabsence of the necessary text booksand sources of information. By -thisscheme,' which• it is hoped: can bebrought into operation at an early date,it should be possible for fhe wholeDominion to share in the facilities thatunder the present system are largelyconfined to the larger centres."Rural districts particularly require

adequate library facilities and it is inthose districts that the present systemis least satisfactory. Though three-quarters of our library buildings arein country districts these contain les»than half the library books in NevfZealand, and the selection available isusually a very poor one. Under theproposed scheme, it will be possibleto pay special attention to/rural needsand the country reader will be givenaccess to exactly the same library re-sources as are at, present available, ifat all, only in the citjes."

DRINKING OUR OWN MILK

| When Mr. G. B. Shaw advised usjto eat our own butter he was offer-ing a plan which, like much of hiscomment, contained the germ of wis-dom cleverly concealed in a wrap-ping of obvious exaggeration. HadMr. Shaw commented seriously andstatistically upon the small consump-tion of those products which NewZealand has inhigh quality and greatabundance his criticism would havebeen unheeded. Instead, he put ina single sentence as applied to dairyproducts .thephilosophy which OmarKhayyam' applied to wine:

1 wonder often what the Vintnersbuy

One half so precious as the stuffthey sell.

The exaggeration of the suggestionthat we shoulfl consume all of thatwhich we produce so abundantly isobvious; but in noting this exaggera-tion we cannot escape noting alsothat our consumption of home pro-ducts is much less than it might be.And if weare to educate other peopleto consume moreof what wesell, wecannot make a better beginning thanby educating ourselves. Thus theplan to drink a little more of ourown milk ha3a sound propagandabasis, aswell as a health motive.

The Auckland plan of free milkdistribution for schools, followingupon experiments elsewhere involun-tary society schemes, brings'■••..intoactivefinancial co-operation the Gov-1eminent, the City Council, and thejAuckland Milk Council. ItJs ex-|pected to be the precursor ofa Dominion-wide plan in which, pro-bably, the Government, as interestedinpublic health and education, willco-operate with producing authoritiesand local governing bodies; The!inauguration of such a scheme is!timely. It will, if successfully Ioperated, be an object lesson for|observation in the preparation of,other plans which New Zealand hasinmind for increasing the consump-tion of our products in export mar-kets. The United Kingdom and NewZealand, Mr. Coates stated recently,are making investigations in thehopethat it will be possible to place sur-plus products at the disposal ofpeople who are not able to buy them.Part of the levy upon chilled beef isto; be used for this purpose. Britainhas tried subsidies on production andseen their weaknesses.... She is nowinclined to experiment with subsidieson consumption. These may revealfaults also, but they will not be thesame -as the faults of production-subsidies and they will be offset bybenefits that, at least for the timebeing,.,will, reconcile the public toGovernment intervention.

The subsidy, or other aid, to con-sumption is to be tried as a meansof the evils of "poverty|amidst plenty" only after other ex-pedients have been tried and foundwanting. The drawbacks of theseother expedients—tariffs, quotas, andproduction subsidies—were listed bya writer in the "Round Table" re-cently. The consumer, he pointedout, had no interest in the mainten-ance of prices by "the clumsymethod of restricting imports byquotas." ;Topay New Zealand moremoney for lest mutton and Denmarkthe same money for less bacon mightbe a good reason for New Zealandand Denmark continuing to acceptthe policy with good grace, "but itis not encouraging to those whowould like to see the standard ofliving raised, and the world agricul-turalproblem solved by a rising rateof consumption." The tariff hadmany ofthe defects of the quota ininducing retorts inkind from othercountries and in dangerously compli-cating Imperial relations. Further,it might riot succeed in checking im-ports because of the great pressure tosell, though this initself was a checkupon too great a rise of pricesthrough the inadequacy of homesup-plies. Subsidies created "an evenmore powerful and more vociferousvested interestthan do tariffs." Theytended to buttress inefficiency, and ifthey had the advantage of tendingto lower prices to the consumer, itwas through the dubioii3 means ofintensifying competitive pressure.

These defects, the "Round Table"considered, would largely disappearif the subsidy were applied to thepoint of consumption, instead ofbeing given directly for production.A stronger demand, through subsi-dised consumption which would re-duce or remove surpluses, would im-prove.the returns of producers. Itwould do this, too, without introduc-ing that contradiction of policieswhich is seen in efforts to reducehousing costs and abolish slums forthe benefit of the health of the poorwhile fit the same time forcing upthe prices of foodstuffs which thepoor should have in greater quan-tities.;An import duty on softie primaryfoodstuff, however necessary for thedue defence of British agriculture, isalmost certain to be a charge on theconsuming capacity of the poorest sec-tions of the community. But if theproceeds are used to promote the con-sumption of just this group, not onlyv the paper objection obliterated, buta political handicap becomes at oncea political asset.The school milk scheme has theadvantage of increasing consumptionwithout forcing up prices (for weassume the plans will be safe-guarded against this). It will makebeneficial use ,pfa surplus by placingit within the.reach of, those who,either from lack of means or force

of habit, have not been large con-sumers. Its healthbenefits guaranteejits political popularity. But whileheartily commending theplan of sub-sidised consumption in this limitedfield, we are bound to admit thatIthere are difficulties and disadvan-tages attending its extension to allfoodstuffs and other necessarieswhich will prevent its acceptance asa complete solution of the povertyamidst plenty paradox. Temporarilyand in a restricted measure the Gov-ernment of Great Britain may bepersuaded to use the subsidy systemto cancel out poverty with plenty;but can Government's the world overaccept the principle that there,shallbe two prices for the same product—one consumer paying more so thatthe other may pay less and not beforced to restrict his consumption?At once the issue arises: How farshall this be extended and whateffect will it have on the one handupon wages and on the other handupon prices as a regulator of supplyand a guide to public demand? •LEAGUE'S FIRST SANCTION

All the members of the League ofNations, with the exception of thedisputant nations and Hungary, havedecided, as a sanctions committee,to lift the arms embargo onAbyssinia and to apply to Italy anembargo on. arms, munitions, andimplements of war. This first sanc-tion is, in the matter of prohibitedcommodities, tolerably .in line withthe embargo of the United States,though the latter appears to be ap-plied at present to ."implements"and not to "munitions." But in theessential matter t>f discriminatingbetween the disputant nations, Presi-Jdent Roosevelt's hands are tied!unless some way isfound through!or round the new United States!Neutrality Act; in consequence ofwhich it is assumed in today'sAmerican cablegrams that the Presi-dent will not (cannot) raise theembargo on Ethiopia. The fullname of the sanctions committee isthe Sanctions Co-ordination Commit-tee, and the intermediate word ex-plains a good deal, because ilie aimof the League is to bring all themember Powers along on an evenfront—by no means easy when onecountry, is .largely dependent onItalian political support in Europe,when another is largely populatedby Italians, and when other smallerStates are vainly trying to decipherthe next move. At the presentstage, co-ordination is the pith ofthe problem. America misses on thediscrimination point; and it re-mains to be seenwhether the member!Powers now co-ordinated will con-jtinue to beso if the arms embargo isexpanded into a "boycott" of Italianimports. .

Nevertheless, the maligning of somany nations in discriminatingagainst a nation adjudged to havebroken the Covenant is a step alongthe path of progress. If Congresshad not passed the Neutrality Actin its dying'hours, as a hand-tyingmeasure, can it be doubted thatPresident Roosevelt would now bein full step with the first sanction?In other words,would theWashingtonpolicy still be denial of arms sup-plies to Abyssinia, a non-manufac-turing country? But there is, an-other Great Power which is outsidethe League and which may or maynot act in co-operation with thesanctions policy, and that Power isGermany. As an exporter of (1)arms, munitions, and implements ofwar, and (2) other commoditieswhichpossibly may be included laterin a "boycott" of Italy, what isGermany's policy, and what will beher performance? Not only export,but importing for re-export, entersvitally into the problem, and this isspecifically pointed put in the thirdparagraph of the Sanctions Co-ordination Committee's statement, theparagraph dealing with measuresto prevent re-export to Italy. Aresuch measures possible withoutsearclTof ships, and what conse-quences may such search involve?Nothing is more.certain than that agreat manufacturing and shippingnation can embarrass a sanctions-on-supplies policy, if/that nation hasthe will to do so. What is Germany'swill? ■ ■~':■:•':: ;:V - . .- :•■ < ■-

The various cabled suggestions asto what the second sanction will becannot be dealt with in space atcommand, but the Associated PressAgency's statement that loans toItaly will be prohibited raises thequestion whether the United States,notwithstanding the Neutrality Act,can and will participate in such pro-hibition. _ And h»re, it seems, an-other TJnited States Act mayprovidea remedy that its authors never con-templated. Awriter inthe "Nation"'(American) points out that

Iby a fortuitous chance we alreadyhave oh our statute books a law!which, if enforced, would prohibit theextension of loans or credits to theItalian Government, while applyingno such restriction to Abyssinia—theJohnson Act forbidding loans tocountries which, are in default ontheir war debts to the United States.Thus Congress may find itselfstriking a blow for Abyssinia afterall! .

NATIONAL LIBRARY PLAN

.The announcement at Christ-cliurch by the Prime Minister thatthe government is considering aplan for a national library systemon the lines of the Munn-Barr re-port will give much pleasure to allwho are interested in the movementfor. the better distribution of books,particularly in rural areas. Howfar New Zealand lagged behindBritain and America in its libraryservices in this respect was stronglyemphasised by Mr. Ralph Munn, arepresentative of the Carnegie Cor-poration, who last year, with Mr.John Barr, of Auckland, investigatedthe position in this country. TheNew Zealand Library Associationlook up with energy and enthusiasmthecause of better library serviceforthe country districts, and thejro hi

now a prospect of something definitebeing done. The plan, which neednot be an expensive one, is designedto secure the co-operation of all NewZealand libraries so as to make their

|total resources available over the:whole area. At the head of thesystem, as Mr. Forbes explained,

[will be a national library, with acomprehensive lending departmentwhich would enable the distributionof the best available literature of thewidest range over areas at presentmeagrely supplied. There is no in-tention to interfere with local controlof existing libraries. The idea issimply a pooling of resources andfacilities. Rural libraries will re-ceive regular supplies on "loan forcirculation and return. -What »thenew system will mean, particularlyto the rising generation in the ruralareas, was rightly emphasised byMr. Forbes, who declared that bythis scheme it should be possible forthe whole Dominion to share iri thefacilities which are now largely con-fined to the larger centres. To makecountry life more attractive shouldbe the aim of all authorities and forthis reason and for others, thenational library plan is not likely tomeet with serious opposition.

NEWS OF THE DAYShortage of Spring Lambs.

Owing to the backwardness of thisreason's spring lambs, and their com-parative fewness, it is not likely thatany substantial quantities will beshipped overseas for some weeks,yet.A small consignment, amounting toabout 600 carcasses, is to leave Auck-land by the Tongariro tomorrow forLondon and the West Coast ports ofthe United Kingdom, and, in additionto shipments by. the Remuera andMiddlesex, is scheduled to arrive Homebefore Christmas. In compensation forthe small numbers available for salegrowers expect to receive prices asgood as, or better than, those rulinglast season. ■The Jubilee Stamps.

When the New Zealand Jubileestamps were withdrawn from sale,after having been in issue for sixweeks only, 4.800,000 halfpenny oneshad been sold,' 8.400,000 penny ones,and'32o,ooo sixpenny ones. The setwas extremely popular, and a writerin"the "Philatelic Journal of GreatBritain" selects it as the best Of theJubilee sets from an investment-pointof-view. Postally used specimens ofthe sixpenny value •are very hard toaccfuire now." When the set was finallywithdrawn from sale, 1,200,000 half-penny stamps,. 1,600,000 penny stamps,and 186,000 sixpenny stamps—the re-mainder of the stocks printed—weredestroyed. Various Island stamps over-printed as a special Jubilee issue weresold to the number of. approximately762,000, and when these were with-drawn approximately 73,000 were de-stroyed.Bowen Street Tram Route.

"At last, after persistent effortsmade by the City Council for the lastyour years, the matter is a little fur-ther on the way," said the Mayor (Mr.T. C. A. Hislop), referring to the pro-posed diversion in the tramway accessto the western suburbs from the pre-sent roundabout Molesworth Street-Tinakori Road route to one via BowenStreet, Museum Street, and SydneyStreet West, joining up with TinakoriRoad at the corner of-Anderson Park."Now that the Parliamentary Commit-tee has recommended favourably onthe proposal, we will.be taking thenecessary steps to make application forthe necessary Order in Council." Thisroute, mentioned for the first timemany years ago, will save. 54 chainsas compared with, the present tramroute to KaTori. This has been statedas meaning a saving of many thousandtram miles in a year, and the newroute will clip a' considerable time oftthe trip: The actual cash saving pertrip in running costs will be justaboutlOd, for tramway running averages justunder 20d per mile. In a very fewyears;the full outlay will be recoupedin tramway savings alone, withouttaking into account greater convenienceand tune saving to passengers. :Clergy's Changed View.

The secretary of the Canterburybranch of the Navy League (Mr. C. J.Treleaven) reported to the meeting o£the committee onThursday the arrange-ments that were being made to cele-brate Nelson Day (states the "Christ-church Star-Sun"). Nelson's famoussignal will be flown in Victoria Squareand wreaths placed in front of theCathedral. "And," he said, "at onetime we used to invite clergymen torefer to the significance of the daythe Sunday before. But the clergyhave got different views now. -Idon'tthink it is much use writing to them."The matter was not discussed further.Mutilation of Books. ■• The most consistent mutilators ofbooks in the Canterbury, Public Lib-rary were those persons who had ahobby,,said Mr. J. R. Templin, chair-man of the New Zealand Society ofCivil Engineers, at a meeting of thesociety, reports the "Press." Mr.Templin said he felt quite justified inmaking that statement, •since he hadseen for himselfanumber of mutilatedbooks in the library. They weremostly about radio,gardening, or somehobby. People with hobbies seem tobe altogether without conscience, here-marked. In one encyclopaedia, how-ever, a whole section about the manu-facture of whisky had be'en removed."Spiritual aspiration rather than ahobby," someone remarked.Where the Gaol Is.

"Here we have a beautiful suburbwhich has to bear the stigma of hav-inga prison named after it. Nomatterwhere you go, people say they knowwhere Mount Eden is because that iswherethe gaol is," said Mr.R. Mills ata meeting of the Mount Eden BoroughCouncil (reports the "Star"). He sug-gested that the council should supportthe submission made by Mr. F. W.Schramm, member for City East, inthe House that the prison should beremoved from Mount Eden. Failingthat, Mr. Mills said the council shouldpress for a change of name. Mr. E. R.Greenfield said that if the name werechanged many of those who went outmight not be able to find their wayback again. Itwas decided to seek tohave the name changed.A Maori Celebration.

Maori men • and maids sang liltingmelodies in celebration of the coro-nation of the young King Korokiwhen 3000 representatives of the vari-ous North Island tribes gathered atthe Waahi Pa, nearHuntly. But someof the Maoris who had come scores ofmiles to take part in the celebrationsdid,not even get across the bridgewhich ;leads to the pa, states the Wa--hgdhui "Herald." They held theircelebrations in the hotel, where dozensof gallons of beer were poured intodozens and dozens of "handles," anddown dozens and dozens of Maorithroats. Here a member of theroyal family watched the activitieswith impersonal gaze. "A beer for theKing. A beer for Koroki," cried one.And swaying Maoris cheered lustily.'Some tottered away to nearby vacantsections and lay in the sun. They hadcelebrated Koroki's coronation—intheit-own way.

Heavy Hail Shower at Petone.j A heavy hail shower fell at Petoneabout 6.15 o'clock this morning andcontinued for about three-quarters ofan hour. Hail could still be seen inthe streets by people coming to workabout B'p'clock. Hail also fell at LowerjHutt, but not so heavily as at Petone.IVlining Work Ceasing.

Interesting comment on the possibleeffect of the Abyssinian dispute uponSouthAfrica is made by Mr.D. Moodie,of Johannesburg, in a letter to afriend in invercargill, reports an ex-change. "Some of ourpolitical fathersare very much perturbed about theAbyssinian disputebecause of the effectit. may have on this country,1' hewrites. "The natives are beginning, to.take ah interest in world affairs, andthere is a big under-current of sympa-thy towards Abyssinia, and numerousdemonstrations and prayer meetingshave taken place. Should Italy! de-feat Abyssinia, they will be annoyedabout the ruthlessness of a yrhitenation proceeding against a practicallydefenceless black, race. On the otherhand, should Ethiopia, triumph theymay begin to think the black racesuperior to the white arid start a littlewar of their own. On the surface theblack man is still the obedient.slave,but trouble is brewing. Although Idon't like to think it, one must realisethat it is education and the teachingof the missionaries that tend to, makehim lose his inferiority complex anddemand equal rights."

"DRAG-NET BILL"

OFFICIAL SECRETS

INTEGRITY OF FORCES

AUSTRALIAN ACTION

(From "The Post's" Representative.)SYDNEY, October 4,

Measures to protect defence andother official secrets are contained ina drag-net Bill amending the CrimesAct, notice of which was given in theSenate this week.

The new Bill provides drastic penal-1ties for offences, including life im-prisonment for a person or £1000 finefor a body corporate found guilty ofinciting the naval or military forcesto mutiny. / Based on the ImperialOfficial Secrets Act, whichwas amend-ed extensively in 1920, the Bill em-bodies most of its .provisions.It is proposed to make it an ofllence

for any person to use any informationin his possession regarding any pro-hibited place, such as a,dockyard ora munition factory, for the benefitof any foreign Power, or to communi-cate any information relating to muni-tions of war to any such Power. Itwill also be an offence to gain admis-sion or assist; any person to gain ad-mission to a prohibited place by mis-use of a uniform, false statements, tam-pering with official documents, imper-sonating an official, or misusing , anofficial seal. ■" . v . • 'Provision is made giving the Attor-ney-General power to require the pro-duction of wireless or telegraph mes-sages received from or sent overseasby apparatus owned by private ' per-sons or companies where h.e is satis-fied such production is'in the publicinterest. The publisher of any book,pamphlet, or newspaper ■• containingmatter calculated to incite membersof the forces to mutiny shall be liabletc afine of £500 or imprisonment fortwo years. •Important modifications .of the lawaffecting unlawful associations are pro-posed. ' Under section ,30 of theCrimes Act action may be taken tocompel anyperson to answer questionswhere the AttomeyrGeneral believesthat that person has information ordocuments relating to an unlawful as-sociation. Its operation will be limitedto caseswhere a police stipendiary ora special Magistrate is satisfied by in-formation on oath that the person hassuch documents.Part lla of the CrimesAct contains provisions relating to un-lawful associations, industrial disputes,etc., and it is. proposed that- offencesagainst this part shall not be prose-cuted without- the consent of the At-torney-General, or of some personauthorised toy him.

TOURIST TRAFFIC

CONDITIONS NOW ADVERSE

(From "The Post's" Representative.)LONDON, September 14.

Arrangements for the tour of Bri-tish and South African farmersthrough New Zealand are proceedingsatisfactorily. The British NationalUnion, which' is responsible for organ-ising the. tour, has-received about 120inquiries, and about 20 definite book-ings. As the party will not start tillJanuary there' seems no doubt thatthe required ■30 members will easilybe obtained. •Care is being taken that every mem-ber of the party is either a farmer oris in business closely allied to farm-ing. They will leave by the Mooltanon January 10.

The Abyssinian trouble, which ishaving a depressing effect generally,is also responsible for holding up thetourist traffic. Many people who con-templated setting out for the Domin-ion have now written to the TouristOfficer of the High Commissioner'sDepartment stating that they find itnecessary to postpone making definiteplans until the political situation im-proved. Another effect of the dis-turbed situation is that people whocontemplated sailing or returning bythe Suez route have now booked bythe Panama or American route.

PRICES RISINGTAXATION A FACTOR

A HOUSEWIFE'S PROBLEM

EFFECTS OF EXCHANGE

•As chancellor of the domestic ex-chequer; the wife-who knows her job,is painfully realising the difficulty ofbudgeting for a surplus. Whether shehas .the responsibility of disbursing afixed household allowance or whethershe has all the income available, i.e.,the pay envelope intact, she is becom-ing more and more aware of the steadyupward course in the price of things.Here Id or 2d more on the week, there3d or 6d. more on an article than shepaid for it

ha month ago; whereas herallowance is no more than it was be-fore these advances in prices began.

Were she to consult the GovernmentStatistician he would explain, and thatno doubt with characteristic courtesy:—The retail-prices index (base: 1926-30—1000) (for August) shows an increase,of 2 points since: the previous' month.Of the individual groups, the onlyone to exhibit a decrease is that fordairy-produce (18 points) due princi-pally to;-a'.fall in the price of eggs.The rent- index,', based on the usualhalf-yearly inquiry, has advanced 10points' since February, and the major-ity of centres in respect of which in-formation is collected- report a keendemand for houses and a definite up-ward tendency in rents. There hasbeen practically no movement in theclothing and drapery group since thelast collection of data (in May). 'NO HELP FROM STATISTICS.

Authentic as this information is, itconveys no comfort to the housewifewith only so much money to come aridgo upon, and prices rising against her.

Some light on'the subject of taxa-tion and exchange as factors in in-creasing the competent housewife'sburden is thrown by the New ZealandDrapers' Federation official organ,which remarks:—

"It 5s by no means uncommon tohear some observer studying prices inthe shops" here, and ■indignantly re-marking on.what they could buy thesame goods for, in London, or Man-chester, or Glasgow! But there isneither the time nor the opportunityof getting these critics for a quiet ex-planation, when it could be shownexactly what it means to pay 25 percent, exchange, 25 per cent, or moreduty, 5 per cent, sales tax, 3 per cent,primage, freight,'y insurance, andcharges (plus exchange), before thegoods can.be brought into stock here,and before any allowance is made forlocal rates and taxes, rent, interest,wages, and overhea* charges.

"If only an itemised statement couldbe shown each shopper, they would bestaggered on realising how much inevery pound'spent shopping goes inthe payment of indirect taxation. Thejob of collecting. it is forced on theretailer and he would■ welcome beingrelieved, of it, and to find +he moneynow diverted tothe State going to thepurchase of more goods., As it isthe shopkeeper gets /no thanks, butreceives quite a. lot of- blame whichshould really be laid on. the tax col-lector." ■How much the London butter andcheese market is influenced by thesinister shadow cast by the Italo-Abyssinian war over financial andcommercial affairs it is very difficult tosay; but the meteoric advance in theprice of New Zealand butter to 126sper cwt in London will be reflected ina corresponding further advance in theprice of butter in every home.

WAR AND PRICES.The rise in the price is a very good

thing for the dairy farmers of the Do-minion, and it may be so, indirectly,for the Dominion, but it does not putany more into the housewife'spurse.

There is, too, that exceedingly try-ing interval between adjustment ofrestricted incomes to meet advancedprices. It is not inappropriatelycalled a "lag." ■, There is, of course, always the alter-native of "doing without." But somethings cannot be done without.

Cabled advices received, by Welling-ton business houses from their over-seas correspondents continue to report!advances in prices for many articlesin general use, as they-are oras essen-tial, materials for manufacture in NewZealand. Soap, glycerine, medicinalparaffin, olive oil, rice, tapiocas andsago, various derivatives from thecoconut, and'certain, canned foods.

The improved tone of .the' Britishmarket for frozen meat is reflected inprices of New Zealand meat for thelocal markets. As for prices for cloth-ingno more needbe said than has beensaid above by the Drapers' Federation.

That organisation speaks not onlyfor the clothing and boot retailingtrades but for other retailers when itstates:—

CHEERY OPTIMISMOPTLOOK AT HOME

CHANGES IN SEVEN YEARS.

(By Telegraph.)(Special to the "Evening Post")

DUNEDIN, This Day.The recovery of England, its cheery

optimism, and its industrial and agri-cultural development impressed Mr. C.Stanley Smith, managing- director ofthe "Evening Star," during his holidaythere, and he has returned with manyobservations to make on the swiftly-changing scene as compared with sevenyears ago. , -In an interview Mr. Smith said thatthe number of unemployed was fewertoday than during the past fourteenyears. Trade was starting to boom,and the average. Englishman was lessconcerned over the possibility of hiscountry being involved in war thanwas the New Zealander. The busiestof all industries was building and theallied trades. Building was being ac-celeratedufo do away with slum areas,and the industry was also being de-veloped ,to alleviate. the unemploy-ment problem.

Brick-and cement were mainly usedin the construction of buildings in Eng-land, where wood' did not appear tobe popular. Building was proceedingapace throughout the central' part of-England, and the truly.rural districtsof a lew years ago were being openedup as residential sites. Building wasbeing assisted by a Government sub-sidy, and municipal authorities wereactive in advancing their building pro-grammes. Still, with all this unpre-cedented activity, houses to the num-ber of 6000 weekly were being erected,and the opinion was that complete re-moval of slums would involve anothertwenty-five years' work. The newly-built suburb of Harrow, near London,already had a population of 10,000.

Realising that England's defence inthe future would depend on a strongAir Force the English people weremaking provision for extension of theforce and development of the aeroplaneindustry. Handley Page, who builtthe great machines used by ImperialAirways, had erected huge works nearLondon, and a fine village was spring-ing up near every aerodrome. Build-ing was proceeding and manyrecruitswere offering for the Air Force. Theopinion in England was that the mostserious threat of attack would be fromthe air and the public were beingeducated to safeguard themselves.

Agriculture at Home was being de-veloped, the policy since the GreatWarbeing that England shouldbe more self-contained and less dependent on over-seas countries for her primary pro-ducts. . .' '

BRITISH PRESTIGE

ADEQUATE NAVYNEEDED

INSTRUMENT OF PEACEThe need for an adequate.Nayy.to.

uphold British, prestige, and ensurethe security of the Empire was re-ferred to at the annual dinner, of theNew Zealand Company of MasterMariners on. Saturday evening. Itwas stated that a navy was not neces-sarily an instrument of aggression,,!but a potent factor in' working forpeace, and that _ unilateral'r disarma-menthadbeen a costly andi dangerous/business. . ;

Captain W. Whiteford, who proposedthe toast of "The Navy';" said the Brit-ish Navy had been" dwindling foryears, and when men: saw' Britain'ssuperiority declining they,,,.wonderedwhen it was going to stop.. Eminentofficers realised how dangerously far1disarmament had gone, as to reach astate of §ienace to peace., It was tobe hoped that no halt would be called',in restoring the strength of theNavy until thi prestige that hadbeenlost in recent years had been' regained.

Captain L. V. Morgan, R.N., reply-ing to the toast, said there;were some,who,still thoilght that a powerfulnavywas to be regarded as an instru-ment of aggression; but events hadshown that in world councils a strongBritish Navy was still a potent factorfor peace. Unilateral disarmamenthad been a dangerous and costly busi-ness, and.the vast majority< of peoplein GreatBritain-werebehind the Gov-erhment in putting its house in orderas regarded the Navy.

« * *THE DODO.: Dear Persiflage,—Recently. Mr. R.

Semple, criticising the Government,re-ferred to something as being "asdead'as the dodo." Uninformed peopleare too apt to deal lightly with thedodo, and in consequence I append ashort versipar which may help to up-lift those' lacking in knowledge, geo-logical and ornithological, if not poli-tical. Don't refer to dictionary. Ihave.

The dodo was an ancient bird thatlived long years ago; just when itpassed its marble in, there's little leftto show; but I will tell you lots andlots, if knowledge you should mourn,of how it lived, and what it ate, be-fore it crossed the bourn.

Some say it built a kind of nest, intrees, or on the ground a better way.than leaving eggs adrift and scatteredround. Of course, there mayhave beenno nest—it's very hard to say—eggssurely could have never reached theprice they are today. / .

It may have eaten rats or mice, andsupped on mountain dew, a slimmingfare if it had hoped to see the journeythrough. But then again there is adoubt if dodos had a gall: geologistshave found no crop to prove it ate atall. We're very certain -that it lived,and certain that it died; we know thedodo tribe, at least, is safely home anddried; so if in life you chance to meetwith those who don't agree, just treatthem with a caustic smile and sendthem on to me. .

I'll show Bob Semple in few wordsjust how it lived and fed, prove howit roosted, scratched, and crowed,digested air, and bred; and this I'llalso prove to him: 'Twas wise, when oldand thin, to leave this tortured ball o£mud- before the slump set in.

My name will carry weight; so picas?append it.

SURRENDERS ON BOTH SIDES

FIGHTING IN ABYSSINIA

ITALIANS ENDEAVOURING TO WIN OVERABYSSINIANS POLITICALLY

ADVANCE ON THE SOUTHERN FRONT. A United Press Association message from'London slates thatthe lull on the northern battlefront in Abyssinia is maintained. Pro-digious roadmaking is being performed by Colonel Riccardi, and500 Italian engineers, working day and night, have completed amotor road, with by-passes, to Adowa. An extra ration of wine hasbeen distributed to the troops to render more palatable the Africanfood, for which the soldiers are sacrificing spaghetti. It is believedthat the*ltalians will not advance further until Marshal Badogliohas conferred with the Commander-in-Chief,General de Bono. Thelatter formally entered Adowa and unveiled' a marble columnbrought from Italy, inscribed "To the dead of Adowa. Avenged5/10/1935—XIII." The Roman numerals indicate the thirteenthyear of the Fascist era.

Weekend reports make it clear that the 12,000 troops whowere,reported on Saturday to have surrendered to General Santinioh the northern front were under the leadership of the Emperor'sson-in-law, Degiac Haile Selassie Gougsa, who was incorrectly re-ported previously as having been killed-at Adowa. Degiac KassaAraia surrendered with him.

The British United Press representative at Adowa says thaiGougsa, who is 27 years of age, is tasting the joys, of his newallegiance by shopping extensively at Adowa's best shop. He ridesin an Italian car and is wearing a huge revolver, a Sam Brownebelt, and red striped trousers.

Further Submissions.It is reported from Adigrat that an additional "column of a

thousand Abyssinian warriors arrived at the Italian front line withnew Belgian rifles and threw in their lot with the invaders, theirchief stating that the Governor of Western Tigre, with 20,000 menand twenty machine-guns, was also anxious to desert, butfeared RasSeyoum's revenge.

A message from Harrar states that the Somali chief Samatanijoined theAbyssinians with 2000 followers. Other pro-Italian chiefswere not so lucky as .Gougsa, a report- from AddisAbabaannouncing that seven Somali leaders possessing large sums ofItalian currency were shot as spies.

An Abyssinian army under the Crown Prince is concen-trating in the area from Sokota to Amba Ahaji, 120 miles south-ward of the Italian front.

Areport from Asmara states that according to Abyssinians whodeserted with Ras Gougsa, Makale, the centre of the Tigre Pro-vince, which is believed to be Italy's next big objective, now lackscommunication with Addis Ababa.

The Italian line on the northern front now stretches straightfrom a point 12 miles east of Adigrat to "8 miles north of Aksum,and is manned by about 60,000 troops. It is recognised in Asmarathat the main Abyssinian resistance so far has been barely felt.The Italians meanwhile are endeavouring to improve their positionby political methods such as those employed in winning overGougsa. It is reported from Harrar, however, that Somali troopsare daily deserting to Abyssinia.

On the Ogaden Front.A message from Harrar states that eleven aeroplanes bombed

Gerlogubi and that 36 Abyssinian infantrymen taking refuge in adug-out were buried alive when detonations caused the shelter tocollapse. Aircraft operating in the Danakil area near the easternfrontier bombed many villages and there were many casualties.

The British United Press correspondent at Harrar reports thatthe Ogaden front was aflame on Saturday, Italian bombers wipingout villages.and the artillery..firing, while Abyssinian rifle-firerippled down the scattered lines at infantry advancing up theWebbe Shibeli River, gradually forcing the defenders from theprecious water-holes and driving wedges from the north and southbetween the three main defending forces. 'Survivors from the fighting continue to declare that theItalians are using gas and that chemicals are laying waste the.country. Refugees pitifully streaming into Harrar declare that theassailants are not attempting to locate the defenders* but are bomb-ing recklessly^ in thejiope of smashing the Abyssinian morale.. Many women were killed.

Decisive Battle Imminent.The Italians heavily bombed from the air, and set on fire, the

old castle of Fort Dagnere, adjoining the fortified village of Dega-banko, both of which are on the left bank of the Webbe ShibeliRiver in a strategic position overlooking the plain. TheAbyssiniangeneral Nassibou, Governor of Harrar, declares that before theItalians conquer that area they will have to kill everyone. It isobvious that a decisive battle on the Ogaden front is imminent.. A Rome message says that the Italians are only 50 miles fromHarrar.

Mr. Noel Monks, the "Sun-Herald" Agency's 'Addis Ababacorrespondent, says that so close is the military censorship therethat no word of happenings on the frontier has been'given out for.four days and hostility to journalists is becoming worse daily.Twice on Saturday British journalists were attacked by fanaticalnatives hear the Press Bureau.

GOUGSA'S SURRENDER;T AM TsOT A TRAITOR"

USELESS TO FIGHT ITALIANS

ROME, October 12."X am not a traitor, I am really

enhancing the welfare of my peoplebecause militarily I recognise it isuseless for us to fight the Italians,"declared Degiac Haile Selassie Gougsa,soa-in-law of the Emperor of Abyssinia,on arriving to make formal submissionto General de Bono, who had pre-viously received him cordially. -Heprophesied that when the news of hisaction reached his countrymen theentire Abyssinian army would dissolve.The population of Makalewas awaitingthe Italians as liberators.

Italian General Headquarters claimsthat the submission of local Abyssinianleaders is reported from" all parts ofthe menaced territory, and describesthe Italian advance as more like apeaceful colonial enterprise than hardfighting.

A cable received on Saturday statedthat Degiac Haile Selassie Gougsa andDegiac Kassa Araia surrendered toGeneral Santini after two days ofKuerrilla warfare, together with 12,000followers with 12,000 rifles, a hundredmachine-guns, and ammunition.

AMBASSADOR AT ADDISABABA

DEPARTURE BY TRAIN

(Received October 14, 10.30a.m.)ADDIS ABABA, October 12.

Mr. Noel Monks, the "Sun-Herald"agency's correspondent, says that asensation was caused by Count Vinci,the Italian Ambassador, refusing toobey the Emperor's order to leavewith' members of the legation in aspecial.train today.; After the train hadbeen waiting at the station for. fourhours with all the legation except theMinister aboard, the Emperor orderedthe train to depart. The legationsecretary, Count de Grenet, leapt oftthe train and made a dash for theexit, but was forced to return at thepoint of a revolver.

Count Vinci's excuse was that theoverdue Consul from Magalo, who isan army officer, had not arrived, andthat it was impossible to leave withouthim.

However, following an ultimatum bythe Emperor, Count Vinci leftthe lega-tion late in the day in the custody ofBas Desta, and was escorted to hishouse by a section of horse guards.

Mr. Monks says that Vinci is.beingheld a close prisoner since he refusedto leave. Colonel Calderinini, militaryattache, who also refused to leave, iswith Count Vinci.

An official, communique claims thatthe whole Italian Legation guard pre-sented themselves spontaneously to theEmperor and. took the oath of allegi-ance to fight on the side of the Abys-sinians. AH wore Italian uniforms.

ITALIAN PROTEST

EMBARGO ON ARMS

(British Official Wireless.)(Received October 14, 11 a.m.)

RUGBY, October 12.Geneva reports that Italy has sent

a Note to the League protestingagainst , the decision reached yester-day regarding the arms embargo.

ITALIAN EXPORTS

WORLD-WIDE BOYCOTT

BRITISH PLAN DISCUSSED

LONDON,, October 12.The British United Press Geneva

correspondent says that Mr. AnthonyEden, at a private meeting of theEconomic Committee, launchedBritain's plan for a world-wide boycottof imports from Italy, which is regard-ed as more drastic than the armsembargo because if nations do not buyfront Italy her supplies of foreign ex-change will dwindle xintil she isunable to purchase war materials from'abroad.

Mr. Eden pointed out that a com-pleteLeague boycott would stop 70 percent, of Italy's exports, which shouldbe accompanied by a cessation of ex-ports to Italy and a virtual rationingof exports of warlike commodities tonon-League members on a quota basiswhich would prevent re-exports toItaly. •M. Coulondre, a French economicsexpert, opposing, the proposed ban onItalian exports, declared that thefirst move must be the cessation ofexports of certain metals andchemicals to Italy, followed by thecessation of exports of coal, oil, andother fuels. He urged that Mr. Eden'sproposal of an immediate League boy-cott should be the second sanction,following his suggestion of stoppingvital exports to Italy. He pointed outthat it was useless to ban productswhich non-League .members could sup-ply to Italy.

Mr. te Water (South Africa) advo-cated the rupture of diplomatic rela-tions with Italy. ' •M. Titulescu (Rumania) sought toreconcile the viewpoints of Mr. Edenand M. Coulondre, expressing the opin- jion that if countries did not buy from jItaly their exports to Italy would soon|cease. - :

SOVIET SUGGESTION.M. Potemkin. the Soviet delegate,

suggested that the United States'should be asked to add other warmaterials to President Roosevelt's list.Although he did not specifically men-tion Germany, he added that the com-mittee should consider financial meas-|ures against non-members of thefceague to prevent- them increasing!trade with Italy.

M. Titulescu proposed the estab-lishment of a sub-committee to studymeasures under the Covenant wherebymembers would agree to mutual sup-port in order to minimise the loss dueto economic sanctions.

M. Rushdiaras, supported by M.Motta (Switzerland),appealed to thecommittee to consider Switzerland'sexceptional position in view of thenumber of Italian residents.

M. Vasconcellos (Portugal),who pre-sided, assured M. Motta that the com-mittee would attempt to make allow-ances for Switzerland's position.

Mr. Eden resisted, proposals involv-ing delay, especially M. Coulondre'ssuggestion that the trade * boycottshould be examined further by a sub-committee! Mr. Eden also emphasisedthe necessity for immediate action,which Belgium, Holland, Sweden,South Africa, and Rumania supported.

The committee adjourned and willmeet again on Monday. The SanctionsCommittee now numbers 18, owing tothe inclusion of Mexico because of herimportance as an oil producer. Thefinancial sub-committee will meet onSunday afternoon in the hope of com-pleting recommendations for a finan-cial boycott.

MR. EDEN BROADCASTS

(British. Official Wireless.)(Received October 14, 11 a.m.)

RUGBY, October 12.In a broadcast speech last night,

Mr. Anthony.Eden recapitulated theprogress made since the machinery forco-ordinating the application of sanc-tions against Italy had been set up. Sofar, he said, there had been no dally-ing. "We cannot afford to dally, for atthis moment men are being killedandhomes are being shattered. Actionmust be swift and must be effectiveif the League is to achieve the endfor which it was set up. We have noquarrel with Italy—an old and valuedfriend. Nowhere would there be morerejoicing than in the United Kingdomif Italy were to turn back into theways ofpeace* but we haveundertaken

solemn*obligations and from those ob-ligationswe shall not shrink. A promptbeginning has been made. So far ashis Majesty's Government in theUnited Kingdom is concerned, I cangive you an assurancethat as we havebegun so shall we persevere."

LAVAL'S APPEAL /TO NATION

(Received October 14, 11.15 a.m.)PARIS, October 13.

The Premier, M. Laval, in. an inter-view, declared: "For those afraid ofmilitary sanctions being imposedagainst Italy I wish to state that neverhas any question about sanctions beenraised in my conversations with theBritish Ministers. I want to reassureFrench opinion that the situation is un-doubtedly delicate, but the Franco-British collaboration affirmed atGeneva with great cordiality will con-tinue to be exercised in the interestsof peace. To those who want us totake up an. attitude opposing BritainI say Britain will never consider heraction should be individual and thatshe should develop herself outside thecollective framework of the League.Our declarations in the Assembly havealways been made in common, and ouractions will be in common too. Anymisapprehension and misunderstand-ingexhibited byTrench public opinionwill only harm the cause of peace.The maintenance and strengthening ofFranco-British friendship is an indis-pensable condition to success, and inorder to help my .task I implore allFrenchmen to understand that."

AMERICAN VIEWS

'PRESIDENT'S EMBARGO

EXAMPLE TO LEAGUE

NEW YORK, October 11.Officials at Washington and the-pub-

lic generally are closely following de-velopments at Geneva, and note withparticular interest how, the Leaguesanctions correspond with the actionPresident Roosevelt has taken in theneutrality proclamations issued, whilethe President's arms embargo appearedto set an example that is being fol-lowed by the League.It is a foregone conclusion that Ame-

rica will. not continue • comparableaction and raise the embargo onEthiopia, as the law sufficiently com-mands the President to effect it equallyagainst all belligerents.

It is pointed out that the Presidentsembargo is limited to "implements" ofwarfare instead of "munitidns." Thereason powder and the other explosiveswere not included was because it wasfound that these were not in practicalexport from this country in bulk, butonly cartridge shells, upon which anembargo was placed.

It is generally felt at Washingtonthat all has been done by the Govern-ment that can be done and that thenation's moral influence for peace hasbeen exerted through the proclama-tions and statements of the PresidentGENERAL PRAISE FOR LEAGUE.The Press of the nation generally

praises the League action. Forexample, the "New York Times," in aleader, declares that sanctions leave"the Italian Government in a positionof almost intolerable moral isolation.Virtually the whole world has pro-nounced it guilty. It is true that SignorMussolini maintains a brazen frontagainst the verdict of civilised nations,which must also be the verdict of his-tory, but even he must see that pro-longed resistance by Italy to this de-liberate and crushing judgment of theLeague would be a form of nationalsuicide." •The "Herald-Tribune," on the otherhand, takes a more sceptical view. It|admits that "if words have any mean-iing, Italy is a flagrant violator ofpledges and under the Covenant no)lesser verdict could be returned," butadds: "Why in this case should theLeague reassert principles which wereforgotten or evaded in the Vilna case,in the disarmament problem, in therape of Manchuria, and in virtuallyevery significant question with whichit has wrestled since its foundation?"It concludes: "Despite protestations ofBritish statesmen of the disinterestdIcharacter of their motives, the factremains that the crisis has actuallyshaped itself as a clash betweenItalian imperialism and British Im-,penalism." ,

A PUPPET STATE

GOUGSA AS EMPEROR

MUSSOLINI'S POSSIBLE AIM

LONDON, October 13.The British United Press correspond-

ent at Rome says that Signor Musso-lini is preparing: to create a puppetEmperor of at least part of Abyssiniasimilar to the Japanese in Manchuria.The most probable choice is DegiacHaile Selassie Gougsa, according: tohints dropped in official circles. Italianagents have been working in advanceahead of the troops in non-Amharicregions, resulting in expectations ofother important surrenders.

"La Tribuna" declares that Gougsa,as a great-grandson of the EmperorJohn, is the only legitimate descendantof Solomon and the Queen of Shebaand the only legitimate candidate forthe Ethiopian throne, Menelik andHaile Selassie being impostors. Itadds that Gougsa's father, when he wasdying, .bequeathed to his son instruc-tions to join the Italians if they enteredAbyssinia, thereby preserving theTigre crown for the family.

The Vienna correspondent of "TheTimes" says that the Governmentnews-paper "Reichspost" gives prominenceto a message from its Rome corres-pondent, apparently based on credibleinformation, intimating that Italywould be glad to end hostilities inAbyssinia if her objects could beachieved by other means. It is alreadycertain, says the correspondent, thatthe Abyssinian war is governed bypolitical considerations and does notaim at complete subjugation of Abys-sinia but acceleration of a final andpeaceful understanding with the Em-peror.' Italy's political aims, accord-ing to the correspondent, are "cessionof territory, demarcation of frontiers,and settlement of concessions carryingexploitation rights."

THE MILITARY OBJECTIVE.The correspondent adds: "The Lake

Tana zone is indisputably reserved forthe British, while the Addis Ababahighlands and southern Kaffa zonerepresent the Emperor's historically,founded sovereign realm. Italy's mili-tary aim thus seems to be occupation,or at least strategic control, of thehighlands and province of OgadenfromSomalilandin the east and from Eri-trea in the north. Italian forces aremoving against this politically andmilitarily important area, which in-cludes the railway to Jibuti and thecountry's oil deposits."

The conquest of Addis Ababa, saysthe correspondent, has never beenmentioned in the Italian Press. This,he declares; may be regarded as "asign of early hopes of peace and thelocalising of the conflict to Africa."

USE OF SANCTIONSEFFECT ON BUSINESS

LONDON, October 12.

' "Sanctions week" ended as it began,with rising prices, which the narrow-ness of the markets tended to exag-gerate. The increase embraced thewidest range, of securities, includingGovernments, industrials, mines, cablesand wireless, motors, and even rails.Iron and steel, metal, aircraft, andarmament . shares were especiallystrong. Business, however, continuessmall.

Everyone is asking how sanctionswill affect business. It is' generallyconsidered that few British industriesare likely to be hard hit, and that somewill even benefit from them. Somecontracts byforeigners*formerly placedfor' Italian woollens. are now beingtransferred to Yorkshire owing to fearsthat Italy will be unable to deliver inthe stipulated time.

POWER OF THE POPEHOW CAN HE PREVENT WAR ?

ARCHBISHOP'S QUESTION

LONDON, October. 13."What can the Pope do to prevent

this or other wars?" asked the Arch-bishop of Westminster (Dr. Hinsley),preaching at Golders Green. "He is ahelpless old man with a small policeforce to guard himself and the Vati-can's priceless treasures and protecthis diminutive State. Can he de-nounce as a treaty-breaker aN Powerarmed with every modern instrumentof force, thereby risking active re-prisals? It is said he could ex-communicate, but he would therebymake war with his Dictator neighbourinevitable, besides, upsetting the con-sciences of a great mass of Italians,who are imbued with Fascist ideas bythe Press. It ■would also result in a'fierce anti-clerical outbreak.■ "Moreover, the Pope has r,6t beenasked to arbitrate in the Italo-Abys-sinian dispute, in which he has nogrounds for intervention as he isexcluded -from the • League throughItaly's express stipulation. The Popehas several times condemned aggres-sion branded«as self-defence which isa pretext for aggrandisement, andthus could not more pointedly havealluded to Italy and Abyssinia.?

EIGHT TO SEARCHVESSELS WITH ARMS

Under international law, countrieswho trade in arms and munitions dur-ing a war doso at their own risk, saidProfessor R. M. Algie, Professor ofLaw at the Auckland University Col-legs, when discussing the raising ofthe arms embargo in respect to Abys-sinia (states the "Auckland Star").

"The removal of the embargo uponthe importation of arms and munitionsinto Abyssinia comes rather late inthe day to be of much real use to Abys-sinia," said the professor. "Sucharticles as these would be contrabandand therefore the Italian Government,as one of the belligerents, would bequite entitled to take its own measuresfor checking the importation of sucharticles into Abyssinia.

"The Italian warships would havuthe right to search any vessels belong-ing to any country if they had reason-able grdind to suspect that they werecarrying arms or munitions'for Abys-sinia. If such articles were discoveredthey could be condemned withoutliabilityfor compensation. The*point,therefore, is that people who engagein trade in arms and munitions duringa war do so at their own risk."

ABYSSINIA'S PERILTRIBAL DEFECTIONS

SIGNAL INSTANCE IN NORTH

(By S.R.Q.)The defection of Ras Haile Selassie

Gougsa, son-in-law of the Emperor, andRas Kassa Araia, with 12,000 followers,fully armed, to the Italians, announcedon Saturday afternoon and confirmedtoday, illustrates a factor in a cam-paign against half-savageraces whichmost people would bo apt to ignore.The natural assumption that sir in-

habitants of Abyssinia would rally tothe defence of their country overlooksthe fact that Abyssinia has never inits long history been a united nation.One authority on Abyssinia states' thatthe country throughout its his-tory has been merely a conglomera-tion of pr vinces and districts, ill-defined, loosely connected, '•and gen-erally at war with each other. Thechief provinces are Tigre (north-ern), Amhara (central), ■ and Shoa(southern). The seat of Governmenthas usually been in Amhara as it isnow. The whole history of the coun-try is described as one gloomy recordof internecine wars, with, at long in-tervals, beneficent rulers who for atime have managed to extend theirinfluence over more than one province.All the Emperors seem to have had tofight their way to the throne or atsome time or another to have had tofight to keep it All seem to basetheir claims on direct descent fromSolomon and the Queen of Sheba, but,it is said, their success, in most cases,has been more due to force of armsthan purity of lineage.

Despite the feuds and jealousies ofrival chieftains always latent in Abys-sinia, the country has only once beensuccessfully invaded and that was bythe British force in 1868 under SirRobert Napier when Magdala wasreached. There was practically nofighting because the Emperor Theo-dore, whose rule had become veryoppressive, was deserted by all buthis own tribal followers. In this casethe British forces were looked on asliberators. But later when theEgyptians invaded Abyssinia, in 1875and 1876, they were heavily defeatedby the forces under King John, whoten years later drove out the dervishesalso. It is from this King John, hisgreat-grandfather, that Has Gougsatraces his claim to the throne of Abys-sinia as "the only legitimate descend-ant of Solomon and the Queen ofSheba." It is shrewd policy on."thepart of the' Italians to exploit this■claim and put forward Gougsa as apuppet "Emperor of Ethiopia," as theiJapanese did in Manchuria by making■Mr. Henry Puyi Emperor of Manchu-kuo. ' •Haile Selassie, the present ruler ofAbyssinia, is a son 'of Ras Makonnen,of Harrar, one of Menelek's ablestlieutenants, who died in 1906. Afterthe banishment of Lij Yasu in 1916Haile Selassie, thenRas Taffari Makon-nen, became Regent to the EmpressZauditu. On her death he , wascrowned Emperor Haile Selassie in1930. It was rather to be expected inAbyssinia that the ambitions of otherclaimants would await an opportunityfor expression. ,

It seems clear then that Has Gougsa,who on Thursday last was reported inthe cable news as "actually fifty milesinside the Eritrean border with 15,000men" and Ras Kassa, who was saidto be "hastening to the relief ofAksum," were on a very different mis-sion fromthat of araid oncommunica-tions. Further desertions to the jItalians'are now reported and morestill are said to be in contemplation.These are by inhabitants of Tyre, whohave always been jealous of Amhara.Diplomatic success of this kind will1do much to facilitate the Italian ad-vance. The Italian line is said toextend now between a point 12 mileseast of Adigrat to 8 miles north ofAksum. It is manned by 60,000troops. It is recognised at Asmara,the Italian headquarters, that the mainAbyssinian resistance so far has beenbarely felt. Makale, .the centre ofthe Tigre Province, probably the nextobjective in the.ltalian attack, is saidnowto lack communicationwith AddisAbaba.

The Crown Prince of Abyssinia isreported to be massing an army of de-fence further south at Sakota. Thereports from the southern front inOgaden indicate that'heavy fightinghas been taking place and a decisivebattle is imminent. :. ■

MURDER OF KINGQUEEN WITHDRAWS CHARGETRIAL UNDER FRENCH LAW

LONDON, October 12.The "Daily Mails Belgrade corres-

pondent says that on the eve of theFrench trial of three men accused ofcomplicity in the . murder of KingAlexander, Queen Marie has with-drawn her charge as a civil party tothe case under French law.; The Queen sent a letter to M.<Pau-lwho represented her at thepreliminary hearings, stating that sheforgoes any retribution for the assas-sination ofher husband! Her only aimin being cited as a civil party was toassure that full light should be thrownon the crime, and this had now beenfulfilled.

Nevertheless, it is believed that theQueen's decision is due to fear that, inthe event of the accused being sen-tenced to death, King Peter might bemurdered in revenge by Balkan friendsof the accused. ' " '.'■

The trial, which will be held at Aix-le-Provence, also deals with the mur-der of M. Barthou.

JAPANESE COTTONEXPORTS TO PHILIPPINESAGREEMENT WITH U.S.A,

WASHINGTON, October 12.The State Department has announced

that a two-year agreement has beenreached with Japan to limit the annualexports of Japanese cotton and textilesto the Philippines to 45,000,000 squaremetres. As the annual imports areapproximately 96,000,000 square metres,the United States and Japan practicallydivide the market: Other sourcessupply only about s.per cent.

The monetary realisations on Ameri-can exports* however, are probablymuch larger because of higher-pricedgoods. . Last year Japan ' exportedabout 59,000,000 square metres.

The Japanese agreement presumablyfollowed a threat to increase the tariff.

learns that there is only a remotechance of Sir Charles Kingsford Smithbeginning his flight to Australia onTuesday. It is most unlikely that theAir,, Ministry will issue a certificatefor the machine unless he submits itto airworthiness tests or cuts down hispetrol load. The Air Ministry inform-ed Sir Charles before he left theUnited States that he must obtainfrom the American authorities a spec-ial certificate covering the racingcategory, in addition to the normal air-worthiness certificate. The special cer-tificate was withheld, whereupon theAir Ministry cabled the United Statesauthorities, who replied that theywere not prepared to guarantee themachine's airworthiness owing to theinclusion of extra petrol tanks.

Sir Charles told the "SundayGraphic":—"This is my last long-dis-tance flight, I am tired and shall notattack the England to Australia record.I am anxious to get home and startthe.Tasman job.-'

Excellent progress is being madewith the programme of expansion ofthe Royal Air Force-;which was an-nounced last May.

Already sites have been definitelychosen lor 20 out of the 32 new sta-tions required, and measures are intrain to make them ready,for serviceby March, 1937, when the programmeis due to be completed. The sites ofthree out of six new armament train-ing camps have been selected and fiveadditional flying training schools havebeen formed.

The enrolment of pilots and recruit-ing generally is regarded as satisfac-tory.

Manufacturers are making a big ef-fort to execute contracts for new ma-chines, and in some cases arrangementshave been made for other firms tobuild under licence special types,manufacturers of which cannot imme-diately expand their plant sufficientlyto enable them to provide the re-quired output themselves.

CROSSING THE STREETMORE RISKY DAILY

FRESH TRAFFIC PROBLEMS

(By "Wet Bitumen.")Wellington street traffic continues

to bring fresh problems to perplexthose endeavouring to frame thsbylaws to suit, new conditions, andsome matters have not been so far in-cluded in the regulations, though trafficofficers and others concerned offeradvice, which is not always followed.There is at present in the city bylawsnothing to say whether a pedestrianshould cross the street in front oC avehicle which he has just got put of,or behind it. The practice is to advisethe pedestrian to proceed at once tothe nearest footpath, and from thatpoint of safety reconnoitre the streethe wishes to cross.

It is not long since buses in citystreets were unknown, and there ■isno doubt that the introduction of fairly

[extensive bus traffic brings problemsquite different from those to whichthe public "were accustomed in thecase of the - trains. The tram stopsisome distance out from the footpath;the -bus pulls in alongside it. Nomotor, vehicle may pass_ a stationarytram car,, which it has overtaken,which means that the way betweenthe tram and the footpath on the sameside of the road as the tram is for thetime as safe as the footpath itself.There, is nothing in the bylaws, on theother, hand, to prevent a motor vehiclepassing a'bus pulled up at the kerb.

A pedestrian alighting from a tramcar.'and .one leaving a bus thereforepresent .quite different conditions. Itis .considered' safer for the pedestrianalighting from a tram car, who wishesto cross the road at that point;to crossin,.front of thevehicle he has justleft; indeed, it'is considered' inadvis-able to' cross the road behind it. Cross-ing behind the tram, vision of thestream "df traffic coming down theopposite side of :the street is obscuredby the tram until it has been passed,but while" crossing in front of thetram the pedestrian-is looking:directlyat-the■approaching road traffic ■ fromthe time;he starts. ,■ ]

The bus position is almost the op-posite,'owing .to the stream .of trafficw:hich is allowed to pass that station-ary vehicle. In this case it is defin-itely saferHo cross-behind, and thisapplies.notf only to buses, but to allprivately-owned. motor vehicles. Thereason' is that, crossing .in front oftile motor'vehicle the pedestrian hasjust left, his vision of traffic comingthe same way as ,he travelled is ob-scured from view .until he is on itsroute,' and moreover he is invisibleto-the- motorist coming.in this direc-tion untilhe steps out beyond his ownconveyance.,' , Thus neither motoristnor, pedestrian has a.clear view of eachother's 'movements until. the. elementof danger,is introduced.-andthe dangerincreases with the width of the obscUr-ing vehicle. ... ..';

It is' doubtful' whether the : extentof .vehicular, traffic in the city wouldjustify, periodic stoppage of roadtraffic, at. all intersections even in thecentre of the i city. 'At present theintersections controlled by the trafficlights' are too far apart to be madecompulsory for use by pedestrians. Atcertain times,' however, there is suffici-ent vehicular traffic to justify periodi-cal stops where pedestrian traffic is alsoheavy.. The fact, that,no very, defin-ite speed limit is enforced in the citymakes some form of protection byregulation for" both parties advisable.Where :there is a stream of motortraffic proceeding in fairly close ordeiat.speeds up to or over the 25 milesah.hour, permitted, by regulation,, themotorist who applies brakes full onmay £ause casualties amongst his ownfraternity,"while on days when thebitumen is greasy, /-the pedestriancaught unawares has little chance.Without interfering with the rightsOf thepedestrian, observance of a fixedrule. for leaving- vehicles' to cross thestreet could be- inculcated. It wouldminimise some of the present dangers,and, give motorists an idea of what toexpect.

AUSTRALIAN RETURNS

He fractured a wrist andhad only been ■ back on the track aweek when- he had another spill andsuffered concussion.l Evans, Mitcheil,and Rodgers have already returned toAustralia. ■ • ■.'Commenting on.dirt-track ridirig inthe United States Spencer said thatthe sport; was booming, and in hisopinion would continue to do so foranother - twelve months at. least. Themajority of the riders were of a verygood standard. The tracks were verymuch different from what he hadraced on previously; they had a clayor loam surface" instead of cinders, andsome of the'corners were very sharpand very difficult to get around. i

AMERICANS FOR SYDNEY.The season on the Pacific Coast, said

Spencer, lasted from June to.towardsthe end, of this month. He stated atscithat .a team of American riders wouldbe going to Sydney this season, andamong them would be Cordy Milne, the1934 champion, and his bro-ther Jack Milne, who would probablybe .the 1935 champion.

Spencer was one-of the original Aus;tralian "dirt" track riders to go 'toEngland in 1928. He has been back toEnglarid'.eyery year since, with the ex-ception of this year. He said he hadraced against the New Zealander; WallyKilmister. but had not competed ohany of the New Zealand tracks, al-though he probably would be visitingthe Dominion during the coming sea-son.

INVENTIVE GENIUSMECHANISED TALKINGQUESTION OF COPYRIGHT

PATENT OFFICE REPORTThe annual report of the Patent

Office recently-presented to the Houseremarks on the phenomenal rise thathas occurred in the number of inven-tions in the class relating .to telephonyand telegraphy, which class includesradio, sound films, etc. The peak wasreached in 1933, and the figures for1934, the year that the report covers,shows that, this peak is being substan-tially maintained, the figures being 306in 1934 as against 313 in 1933.

Commenting on this, the report says:"The policy of the law relating to in-dustrial;, and intellectual propertypatents, designs, trade marks, copy-right—is that the monopolies and otherrights arising as a result of the opera-tions of the Patent Office must be inthe public interest. This fundamentalaspect of the matter becomes of in-creasing practical importance in thesedays of industrial aggregation, andpar-ticularly so at the present time inregard to the radio industry, in whichconsiderable inventive and commer-cial activity is manifest. In this con-nection it should be noted that inmodern times there is an increasingtendency for certain phases of patentsand copyright to become legally andindustrially interlocked. Thus we f.ndthat, although 'news' is ordinarily re-garded as belonging to the domain of jcopyright, a strong effort was made atthe. International. Conference for theProtection of Industrial Property heldin-London in ,1934 to have 'news' in-cluded in. the. convention as being aform of industrial, property. On theother hand, persons interested in radio,etc.,: inventions -are vitally concernedin aprbposal.that.maybe made to theInternational Copyright Conference,1936, to limit; the right .of local legis-latures toregulate 'the: conditions underwhich copyright materialmay be com-municated to itlie.:public by radio. Fur-ther, we find that, inventors are givinggreat ■ attention to ■:radio,; sound films,etc., ■by ;means of which copyrightmaterial is ■ conveyed from the creatorto the consumer. There is also amarked tendency for broadcasting, etc.,inventions' to pass into the hands oflarge combines,1and for the owners ofinventions -to enhance the value oftheir monopolies •by becoming theowners of correlated copyright. Thereare'thus growing up various powerfulgroups whose interests in patents andcopyright'are almost inseparably inter-woven. ■ These interests, being purelycommercial, do.not invariably harmon-ise witlt the publicinterest. It is there-fore necessary, as occasion arises, forthe international; conventions relatingto patents- and.'copyright, and for thedomestic legislation, to ensure thatmonopolies' granted to foster publicwell-being are: not allowed to defeattheir own ends.by enriching privateenterprise unduly at the expense of theState as a whole."

GISBORNE RAILWAYLONDON NEGOTIATIONS

MR. LYSNAR INTERVIEWEDA declaration that in his opinion the

delay in connection with the Gisborncrailway negotiations, as between a syn-dicate of London financiers and theNew Zealand Government, is purelyformal and could be swept aside with-out difficultyif the Government wishedto facilitate matters, was made by Mr.W. p. Lysnar last week when he re-viewed recent developments in regardto the London offer of capital to com-plete and operate ;tlie East Coast line,says the "Poverty Bay Herald." Dur-ing his recent visit to Wellington Mr.Lysnar took up.the matter of the rail-way negotiations with the Prime Minis-ter. ■•■..= "■

Asked if he was in a position to sayanything on the subject of the negotia-tions, Mr. Lysnar stated that they weredragging along in a most unsatisfac-tory way. ' •" ■ . :

"The position, simply, is this: BeforeMr. Forbes left London some monthsago, all the terms of the projected con-tract were finally agreed upon betweenhim and theLondon representatives ofthe several groups interested on thefinancial side," , stated Mr. Lysnar.'.'There had been, I am glad to say,some give-and-take as between thePrime Minister and the other parties,•and Mr. Forbes, on behalf of the NewZealand. Government, met ' them insome matters, while ttiey oh their partagreed to certain modifications of theirterms.

"When Mr. Forbes left London, heleft instructions that the High Commis-sioner. Sir James Parr, should conferwith the Government's legal advisersin London on the whole question andto settle in proper legal formthe termsalready agreed to. If any alterationswere to be made in the deed as thendrawn, the New Zealand Governmentwas to be advised, and if everythingwas found satisfactory, the Govern-ment would then cable its instructionsto the High Commissionerfor the deedto be executed. .

"After Mr. Forbes returned to NewZealand, I saw him and the above out-line of the position was confirmed byhim. I then thought that it would beonly ashort time before the matterwasfinalised," continued ■ Mr. Lysnar. "Inthe middle of last month, however, Ireceived a cable messagefrom Londonindicating that the High Commissionerwas again absent from London for anindefinite period,,and that the financialpeople interested in the project couldhot get finality there. I was asked ifI could arrange, to have the contractconcluded in New Zealand, in conse-quence. ■"Since then I have been in tele-graphic communication with the PrimeMinister, and while in Wellington dur-ing the past few days I had an.inter-view with him; Mr. Forbes rejectedthe suggestion that he should finaliseanything here in New Zealand, andstated that it must be done in London.When I left the Prime . Minister Iwished him to cable to London con-cerning the matter, but he suggestedthat I should do the cabling, and lethim know the result, with the under-standing that he would then considerthe matter further. I.have agreed tohis suggestion,' and hope that it willlead to something: definite."

Asked if he washopeful of the conTtract being concluded and the. linecompleted with London capital, Mr.Lysnar said he did not know what-tothink. "Therehas been so much delay—in my opinion unnecessary delay-r----that it is now very di^cult to justifythe belief that any effort will be madeon behalf' of the Government to getover the difficulties in-order to finalisethe matter," he said. "I think the timehas come to let the public know theactual position in a general way. Thepublic is in as good a position tojudge as I am, regarding the chanceof progress at an early date. I washopeful, after the-terms were finalisedin London, but so far my hope has notbeen warranted by any tangible pro-gress. It is .riot beyond possibility,however, that the Government willtake, active steps in the matter."

HEARTY WELCOMEALL BLACKS FETED

FOKM CAUSES WORHYUnited Tress Association—lsy Electric Tele-

graph—Copyright.(Received October- 14, 12!20 p.m.)

LONDON, October 13.The members of the touring New

Zealand Rugby football team havebeen greatly impressed by the warmthof the welcome they have receivedfrom all over Scotland, and have beenamazed at the hospitality which hasbeen offered them. Many who havebeen invited to stay at Scottish homeshave been unable to accept owing tothe rule that the team must not be dis-persed.

A member of the team admired apullover worn by an official-at Hawickand the Scot immediately took if offand presented it to the All Black. Theteam during the weekend visited Mel-rose and other ruined abbeys and his-toric scenes of border affrays. Theywere delighted to find that in manyparts the countryside, especially thegorges, streams, anxThills were remin-iscent of New Zealand. :

Nevertheless both the manager (Mr.V. R. Meredith) and the players aremost perturbed over the mediocrity ofthe last two games. They feel that des-pite the injuries and experimentsthey ought to do better, but are un-iable to discover exactly what is wrongbeyond the fact that only afew of theplayers have reproduced their homeform. This was earlier attributed tolack of condition, but that should bynow have been remedied.

The All Blacks are especially wor-ried over the failure of their scrum. Itis believed^ that ■ Mr.. Meredith, willeventually try a 3-2-3 formation.

"MYSTERIOUS INEPTITUDE."'"The Times" says: "The .AH-Black

forwards' mysterious ineptitude in thescrums is threatening the morale ofthe backs who were no more effectivethan the forwards against the Southof Scotland. The All. Blacks did littlewhen they got the .ball and any" first-class pair of halves would havebeaten them on their own. Fortunatelyfor the New Zealanders the South ofScotland pack made the fatal mistakeof not keeping the match -a forwardbattle. If, they had done so the AHBlacks would have been beaten as de-cisively as at Swansea."-

Since his arrival at Wellington fromSydney early last week Mr. Todd hasvisited Taupo, Wairakei, Rptoriia, andthe Waitomo Caves. "What I haveseen has been marvellous," he said. "Ihad no conception of the wonderful at-tractions .possessed by "this country,which Ihave not previously, visited. Asfar as cities are concerned, however,Melbourne is;the; finest Irhave seen.

"Australia is an interesting country,but it has not nearly the same fertilityas New Zealand, .where- the pasturesare equal to the finest in England.You should be able to send us butteras good, if not better; than Denmark.What you require is a better system ofpacking. '•

"With the land you have thereshould.be no unemployment in NewZealand," -~ he continued. "There iswork for everyone if it is organised.In fact,. you could do with anothermillion people. England will take allyour butter, cheese, and meat. I havehad information privately thatEnglandwill place a heavy, import duty on.Argentine beef in December. Up to thepresent the Argentine has defeatedthe objects of the quota of so manysides and quarters of beef by export-ing bagged beef as beef offal. Thiswill be stopped in December."

In. England the visitor said he wasfarming 1000 acres of land in York-shire, Nottinghamshire, and Hertford-:shire, but, in addition, he* had 10,000acres let to tenants.

MEDICAL SCIENCE

IMPORTANT BRANCH

SPECIALIST'S VIEWSThe importance of gynaecology in

medical science and the* need for itsposition being raised in the scheme ofwork of the general hospitals in NewZealand was stressed today by Dr. J.Bright Banister, specialist in gynae-cology at Charing Cross Hospital, Lon-don, who has just completed a shortvisit to the Dominion. Dr. Banisterwas a delegate to the British MedicalAssociation's meeting in Melbourne,and came to New Zealand as the guestof the New Zealand ObstetricalSociety. He has visited the maincentres in both islands, and conferredwith the Health Department this morn-ing before leaving for England to-morrow. ,

Dr. Banister said that as far asgeneral hospital work in New Zealandwas concerned gynaecology, which em-braced obstetrics, was not treated withthe importance that it deserved: 'InEngland every hospital of any import-ance had its gynaecological depart-ment, and he considered the New Zea-land hospitals should work towards thesame goal. He; had been invited •bythe Health Department to meet Dr.Watt and Dr. Paget, and.his:talk withthem had convinced him that "'thefuture study of gynaecology in NewZealand was assured of ' every con-sideration. They realised that the De-partment could not make muchadvance without the co-operation ofthe members of the medical professioninterested in that branch 'of medicalscience,, and they were working inextremely friendly co-operation withthem and with the Obstetrical Society.Both the doctors were broad-mindedmen who were doing good work thatwould develop along the right lines.■ More use should •be made' of theexpert knowledge of doctors'by hos-pital boards in New. Zealand, Dr.Banister said, and referred to mistakesthat could be made by laymen in vari-ous matters affecting the proper work-ing of a hospital. "The communityneed have no fear that.it.-wHly.beexperimented upon," he said when,re-ferring to the establishment-of gynae-cological departments at .'■ public hos-pitals. VThere are heaps of good menperfectly capable of doing the worknecessary. It is mainly a matter .ofhospital organisation; of having thesepatients in a special department underthe charge of a specialist. The expensewould not be any greater than it is atpresent. The same patients would.betreated in the same hospitals but wouldbe treated by one man in one depart-ment. With his specialisation in thework would-come an improvement inthe standard of the treatment." 'While more attention should begiven to gynaecological- work in NewZealand, said Dr. Banister, it had, tobe admitted that the obstetric side ofmedical practice deserved great praise.The New Zealand Obstetrical Societycould take a great' deal, of the creditfor this position for the work it haddone in influencing the practitionersand in co-ordinating- the efforts ofvarious agencies to improve the stand-ard in New Zealand.!

ELUSIVE PRINCE

INTIMATE INTERVIEW

"I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY'!,

A few weeks ago /there passedthrough Wellington on. Jus way toTahiti Prince Kail yon SchoenburgWaldenburg, who is related to the ex-King ofSpain and to the former RoyalHouse of Saxony. The Prince, whohas a veryretiring^disposition, followedout' his usual practice of avoidingpublicity. Although he was trackedover a considerable part of Wellingtoncity he successfully- jeluded Pressinterviewers. ' - 'This morning •he returned from.; hisvisit to the South Sea ;islands_on theMaunganui from San Francisco, butsuch were his circumstances when hefirst arrived that he was unable toavoid being interviewed. . While theMaunganui was steaming to her berthat the Taranaki Street Wharf a "Post"reporter called on the Prince iri hiscabin. .He was in' the -process ofgetting dressed; he had only donnedhis underwear. when he invited thereporter to come in. He was not irithe least embarrassed—it, was' theother who blushed confusedly—andafter the usual introduction he smiledand said: "I have nothing to say. Iam only good for Hollywood accord-ing, to you." He explained that oneNew Zealand newspaper referred, tohim in this, light .when he passedthrough Wellington on his way 'tothe Islands.-,_Tlie Prince, who •is about 35 yearsof age, has fair hair and is-slim*without being too tall; and lias a-com-manding personality. "Although he hasnever received any academic trainingin English, he speaks the . languagewith a fascinating accent. He learnedto speak English while travelling. Heis marrida and his home is in Rome.He said that he had been living inItaly for the past twenty years. Oneof his ambitions, he said, was to seethe South Sea Islands, and when theopportunity to visit them arose he tookit.' He was much impressed with whathe saw, and expressed a wish toreturn later.

Asked if he would make any com-ment concerning the abdication ofthe King of Spain, the Prince shookhis head and remarked: "No, it wouldnot be politic". '■■■.■

When the reporter first addressedthe Prince as "your Highness,"' hepromptly replied: "I am -not that."Then, after a pause during which■ hepulled on a silk sock, he added: "Oh,well, perhaps I am." ' ' 'During the whole of the interviewthe Prince casually dressed himself,and it was not until he had carefullytied the knot in his tie that he bid thereporter good-bye. •The Royal House of Saxony was dis-banded in 1918. On November 9ofthat year a revolution broke out, anda few days later the republic wasproclaimed. King Frederick Augustusabdicated on November 13, 1918. In1923 the strong revolutionary feelingof the Saxons was shown by the pro-ceedings of the Zeigber Ministry,which depended upon an alliance ofSocialists and Communists. It wasexpelledfrom office by the Reich Gov-ernment, which occupied the countrywith troops and replaced the Minis-try by a coalition of the GermanPeople's Party, Democratic Party andright-wing Socialists.

HORNABROOK DISAPPOINTS(By Telegraph—Press Association.)

CHRISTCHURCH, Tins Day.Heavy rain-fell at Shirley when theI

first pair drove off in the open golfchampionship this morning. The wea-ther cleared later and when J. P.Hornabrook, the leader at the end ofthe second round, stepped to the teethe sun was shining through a rift inthe clouds. So far the rain has hadlittle orno effect on the, course, whichremains very firm.. „ ' ... Hornabrook:was playing' with A..Murray, .unattached professional fromAuckland..: Both men hit drives ofmore than 300 yards down wind.Hornabrook was through with his.sec-ond in practically the. position fromwhich he secured a birdie 3 on. Satur-day. His chip back was too strong andhe finished, with a, 5. Murtray, whohad an. excellent 69 on Saturday, se-cured, a 4, and did not seem in theleast worried by the adverse weather.'On the thirdgreen the pair had to puttin a shower of driving -rain. ,

When A. D. S. Duncan, who wastieing'for second place at the end ofthe second round, drove off shortly be-fore 10 o'clock the sunwas shining, butit was expected that there would besqualls throughout the day.

Hornabrook. struck heaps of troublein the third round this morning andreturned'his worst card to date, one of78, which' included two 6's, one at abogey 4'hole. He thus lost, the leadof two strokes he established in thefirst and.second rounds.;;Hornabrook. went .to .pieces, corning

home.... His-drives frequently ;stray-,ed off the .fairways and.he.'showed anunaccountable liking for. bunkers. Hisputting was fairly accurate but onone green, the long Pagoda, he tookthree putts.\ -After his form in thefirst two rounds his display came as agreat disappointment to his supporters:•He was 'quite- outplayed by A.

" LOfd Btedisloe, in a letter to "TheTimes," expresses the opinion that nota moment too soon has; Mr.AlexanderShaw, chairman of the P. and 6.Steam Navigation Company, spokenof the peril'.of British shipping annihi-lation in the Pacific.

"I profoundly trust," he says, "thatif the British Government pays heedat long last to his unanswerable argu-ments for protection against thesqueezing out of . British shipping,within "a sphere which territorially ispredominantly British, by AmericanGovernment subsidisation on a whollyunprecedented scale, it may not proveto be too.late.;"I confess," continues Lord Bled-isloe, "that I. ■ have, during myterm of office as Governor-General ofNew Zealand, watched with growingalarm the apparently futile althoughcourageous attempt which the ownersof our trans-oceanic liners have made•to.'.' prevent".---.British V' shipping frombeing driven off... the waters of thePacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea—"alarm-based otf the' conviction' that,!unless-siiclu shipping is'available .rtor'adaptation.to,war requirements in theevent-of the,invasion of New Zealandor.

CHRISTIAN DUTYATTITUDE TO ITALYJUSTICE, NOT VENGEANCE

THE LEAGUE'S TASKThe Christian peoples of the earth

must search their hearts and assurethemselves that they were in pursuitof justice and not vengeance in theirattitude towards Italy now that thatnation has been indicted as an aggres-sor, the Rev. Canon Percival James de-clared when preaching in St. Paul'sPro-Cathedral yesterday. At the sametime, Italy's attack upon Abyssiniamust be checked and, if necessary, themembers of theLeague of Nations mustbe prepared, to enforce sanctions, byarms if.necessary. ■'■ ■■■ Preaching fromPsalm xi, 5, "He thatsweareth unto his neighbour and dis-appointeth him not, though •it wereto his own hindrance," Canon Jamessaid that the Christian mind was per-plexed and shocked at .the Italian inva-sion of Ethiopia;'--but the Christianmust beware-of hasty and violentjudgment. No Christian disciple couldview the "situation without indignanthorror, because the Abyssinians, whowere virtually;unarmed, were being at-tacked by- a:; Power with modernweapons and scientific equipment.,Myriads of Ethiopian patriots, defend-ing their ancient heritage, would pre-sent their bodies as defencelesstargets,to be slaughtered with merciless preci-sion and according to time-table.

There was a desire to localise theconflict,- but that was fraught with,consequences that must affect everyperson in the, world. ...

COLLECTIVE SECURITY."The question at issue is not merely

the independence of anancient; thoughstill backward, African-people," theCanon-said.' "It ?is not merely theeffect of this invasion, upon the mil-lions of ■■ the coloured'races over theface of the globe—a great part withinthe British Empire. It is a question ofthe possibility^ that 'collective secur-ity* which mankind ioridly hopes for,and perceives to be the only alterna-tive to another. Great War—a catas-trophe which civilisation could hard-ly survive. It is a question ofthe possi-bility of substituting international lawfor violence,' international justice forthe savage arbitrament of war. It isa question whether henceforth any con-fidence can; be!'put ill a succession ofinternational agreements solemnlymade. It is a question of the valueor worthlessness'nc-t only of one treaty,but of all the treaties upon which thenations arei depending today. For ifthere can be.no secure confidence inthe plighted, word of civiliged peoples,we are threatened with utter chaos ininternational relations, and appallingconsequences, which cannot be fore-seen. The two nations have presenteda strange and distressing contrast."

Canon James went on to refer to theattitude of the two contestants in. thedispute, and how Italy, although one ofthe founders.of the League of Nations,had shown herself ruthlessly deter-mined to employ force in-flagrantvio-lation of at least four solemn under-takings. Italy had been convicted asthe aggressor by the other States, andall Christians should be profoundlythankful for that, because if theLeaguehad acted otherwise it would havesigned its death warrant. .■,

They -should : guard themselvesagainst ugly passions and vindictivehatreds against Italy. He did not fearthat amongst British people, because in-gratitude was not one of their nationalsins, and they were'linked with Italyby many ties ~of friendship. Theirfeeling towards Italy should resemblethe sorrow of the family over onemember who had failed 'and dishon-oured it. ..."Ali^our expressions about interna-tional friendship,, understanding, andco-operation require that' we shalllearn to think of the nations of theworld as one tatnily," said CanonJames. "At present Italy has comrmittedan outrage^ upon onemember ofthe family, .and has scorned and defiedthefamily authority. The family'musttake measures, which we are told willbe neither tardy nor ineffective, to dis-cipline and check this unruly member.These measures, which must increasein severity, -until they, prove effective,will not be ■ taken. without pain andrisk to the :family-life—they will in-volve sacrifices by all the nations. . . .

FORCE, IF NECESSARY.: "If Italy is so '.mad as; to resist .-thesanctions by force, then the members"of the League must themselves employarmed'force against Itiily. Deplorableas it would be, there could be no othercourse, left. . In that event) our ownnation must.be ready to .contribute tothe forces to be.used, in the.lastresort,against Italy. I fear. that.this commit-ment,,has been forgotten by some, ofour fellovrcitizens.!'.'1. ..,;.. '. ..In conclusion,,Canon'James.referredto the need]for consideration of theclaims of those - nations who -wereforced V: by, ihcreasipg population toexpand beyond their:,present bound-aries.- These,claims would have to beconsidered, and it would not be an

impossible task to meet them if the (question was approached in a spirit ofgood will and consideration for theneeds of others, and with a readinessto do justice.

"CRIME IN ABYSSINIA"

UNPALATABLE TRUTHSA SITUATION OF PERIL

"Crime in Abyssinia" was chosen bythe Venerable Archdeacon Bullock asthe subject for an address at the even-ing service in St. Peter's Church yes-terday. It was easy for a preacher toimagine that he was always speakingunpalatable truths, he said, and easierstill—because truth was unpopular—toescape saying anything that would biteinto the mind. However, because hebelieved a situation full of peril wasbeing created, he was going to speakof "Crime in Abyssinia." He took forhis text St. Luke xxiv, 42, "If thouhadst known, in this thy day, the thingsconcerning thy peace."

The nationsof the world had pinnedtheir faith on the Covenant of theLeague' of Nations as a preventative offuture wars and, with one or two ex-ceptions, had bound themselves to pre-vent by united action aggression eitherby or upon a member of the League.Armed aggression had taken place inManchuria and Seuth America, but onboth those'occasions it had to be ad-mitted that intervention was-wellnighimpossible. Yet through taking no ac-tion or little action the League hadlost ground which had only been re-gained: by the strong faith and untiringaction of some farseeing statesmen.

"But now there is placarded beforethe world a most flagrant and cruelattack by one of the leading nationsof the League upon a primitive, back-ward, and unprepared people," saidthe Archdeacon. "I do not forget thatAbyssinia may have been .a gallingand obstreperous neighbour. Neitheram I unmindful of Italy's need to findroom for her teeming population, yetthe persistency with which Italy haspreferred warlike measuresto those ofarbitration is patent to all. WhileAbyssinia has promised to abide by theLeague's. judgment this unrepentantand uncurbed pride in the destructivework of 'reeking tube" and iron shard';is more than enough, to sicken thosewho had hoped that war drums mightbe left alone and battle flags be stillkept furled."

FAR-REACHING EFFECT"Italy's breach of international faith

threatened more: than, the natives ofEthiopia, Ahe Archdeacon, declared. Ifthe campaign were allowed to go onunchecked and unrebuked, it wouldre-sult in the "breakdown and destructionof the League, and if the League failedthe world would go back to jungle law.

If the League failed no nation couldtrustany more in an' organisation builtonthe solemn pledges of all,; but with-out the courage to take necessary ac-tion.. The opportunity to check theaggressor was there at the presenttime—even to the cutting of Italy'sspinal column of attack. "'We mustgo back,' all nations will say, 'to secrettreaties and the creation of biggerarmaments,'" said the Archdeacon."'For we have seen the League nolonger hampered,' no longer materiallyincapable of doing something, yet somorally faithless and lacking in cour-age to do what justice and elementary-prudence demanded.'

"I cannot help feeling that upon thedecision and courage of.the.League inapplying sanctions, either economic ormilitary if need be, rests the fate ofthat civilisation of which we partake.We have reached a crossroad of desftiny. Lack of faith or courage no\£means an inevitable bath of blood forpur sons and daughters, within thenext ten or twenty years." .:

History was a voice that had soundedacross the ages the law of right andwrong, the Archdeacon said, and out-lined a number of historical points toillustrate how the moral law was writ-ten upon the tablets of eternity. Todo wrong and hope that good might,come of it was sheer foolishness, andto s;tahd by and see wrong done with-?out protest meant bringing disaster bydefault. It was because he realisedthis that Mr. Anthony Eden had saidso many times: "The League must acteffectively, and act quickly."

THE SEAMER FAIR

The annual fair which' was held on jJuly 15 at' Seamer, three miles fromScarborough, the Yorkshire; wateringplace, wasfounded sis far back as 1382,to take place on the feast of St. Martinand for seven days following. Thesame' royal grant established a weeklymarket. ~.....■■

In course. of time the market diedout, and against its revival, towardsthe end of the sixteenth century, theburgesses of Scarborough vainly pro-tested,, inhabitants of neighbouring vil-lages testifying.that Seamer marketwas more accessible and better stockedthan that of Scarborough, the'roads towhich, town,:they said, were "evil andmiry" in winter.:.- •: ■■.■'.'-.■

Seamer's right to hold a market andfair .was confirmed in 1609 by Jamesthe First. The fair is opened by thepostmaster's recital of the charter.

GENERAL ELECTION

OTAKI SEAT

MR. APPLETON AT STOKESVALLEY

There was a record attendance atStokes Valley on Saturday evening,when Mr. Will Appleton, the Inde-pendent candidate for Otaki, addressedelectors. Mr. W. Bishop presided.

Thecandidate dealt particularly withunemployment and housing, and heoutlined a scheme of State grants ata low rate1 of interest for the repair,renovation, and painting of house pro-pei'ties in cases where neither themortgagor nor the mortgagee couldfind the money. The advance wouldconstitute a first charge on the prop-erty in much the same way as drain-age loansfrom local bodies, and wouldbe repayable in easy instalments overthree to five years.

In reply to questions, Mr. Appletonsaid he wouldnot vote to placeLabouron the Treasury-benches, because hadid not consider they had the capacityfor the job, and moreover, he strong-ly objected to the affairs of the countrybeing run, not by Parliament but by acaucus in the Trades HalL

TRACK ATHLETICSAID TO RUGBY PLAYERS

CASE OF GEORGE SMITH

"I would like to. ask through yourcolumns for informationregarding ath-letes. who have won All Black.Rugby,honours," writes-a Wellington .corres-pondent. "I. am able to recall that thefollowing athletes have .won the,silverfern on the football field in recentyears: R. Steere, A. Bullock-Douglas,E. Holder, G. Hart," G. Davidson, N.Ball, E. Tindill, and J. Griffiths. Itappears to me that the athletic train-ing received in youth has fitted manya footballer for All Black selection."

There is no question that track ath-letics has stood, several of our starRugby players in good stead. Yet itis remarkable that so few who havean eye on New Zealahd. honours ap-preciate ■ the value of spending. thesummer months .on the .track.'. Theability to gather speed quickly is ofthe greatest importance in all phasesof Rugby, particularly is it of value toinside backs, and a period of athletictraining and competition is the quick-est, and most certain,. method :of im-proving one's game, in.- this depart-ment. ....'.'..'. Speed from the mark (just an extrayard or two) often distinguishes thevery good from the merely goodplayer, and if track running can im-prove a man'sability in this direction,then it "is surely .well .worth while.Training will increase the.pace, of theslowest man (it will not make him achampion, ,of course), and will there-fore raised the standard.of eyeii thepoorest footballer.

The classic example in this countryof the mixing of Rugby and athleticsin the highest degree was that ofthe 1905 All Black George Smith.Smith was the greatest sprinter andhurdler .of his day. He was the NewZealand 100yds and 250yards cham-pion, the Australian 120yds and 440ydshurdles champion (in the. last-namedevent he onceheld the world's record),and in 1903 won the English taghhurdles .title. As. a footballer he hasoften been' described 'as the: greatestmatch-winner New Zealand has pro-duced. Smith, indeed,. was one of, ifnot, the .finest sportsman .we have everhad. . .... ... •■'..;'

MANY OTHERS, TOO!Several other members ofthe' origi-

nal All Blacks also engaged in athletics.E. Harper, of Canterbury, "won thenational half-mile ..championship in1902, B. Abbott was, a well-known pro-fessional' sprinter; while: W.: %4ilace(an exceptionally fast man for. SOyds)and F. Roberts spent the 1904-5 sum-mer on the track in preparation forthe tour of Britain. H. D. Mona

IThompson, too, 'participated in ath-letics. , , •■■.-. -....■'■'■■ ..''' -..•Coming to more recent years we

Ifind that George Davidson, of Auck-| land, perhaps the. finest post-warsprinter wehave had (he wasan'Olynvpic 200 metres finalist iri 1920) was a

I New Zealand-Rugby League represen-tative, while H. D. Morgan, of Otago,a prominent runner (he was the sec-jond New Zealander to finish in thememorable Kirksey-Carr race at Ath-letic Park in 1923), played againstNew South Wales in a Rugby- Test in1923. Of the 1924 All Blacks, J. Steeland J.Parker were professional sprint-ers, the former being at one time theNew Zealand champion. -; : ,

B.; Grenside and C. Rushbro.ok, ofthe 1928 team in South Africa, weretrack runners, while J.. Geddes, athree-quarter with the 1929 All Blacks,was, at that time, the_ crack sprinterin the Otago. and Southland districts.E. Holder, 1932 and. 1934 New Zea-land representative, now en route to-London, where,he.is to play RugbyLeague, was a prominent. sprinter,hurdler, and jumper for some seasons,while G. Hart, .of Canterbury, atpresent in Britain with the' AllBlacks, was the national.. 100ydssprint champion in 1931. ' G. T.Alley and E.. R. Steere,; cappedfpr New Zealand [in recent years,were field-event ..'' exponents \ andwon provincial athletic titles. ■• C.Pepper, of. this year's team, is also amost promising field games athlete.

The achievements onr the Rugbyfield of • many of--the above playershave been due in no small measureto the benefits derived from their par-ticipation in track athletics. .

NO LONGER "HACKS"WELLINGTON OVERSIGHTS

(By. "Rangatira.")Among the. horses entered for

"hack" events at the coming Welling-ton" Eacing Club's Spring Meeting are|several whose successes in the pastmight lead one to doubt whether theyare eligible for the class, arid a check-up on the amounts certain selectedhorses have won. discloses that at leasttwo of them should not have beenentered for the class. The two areSunee and Nightguard. Some of the'others are found to be very close tothe altered hack margin, requiringjonly a single win to move over theborder. ■ ,

As it happens Sunee and Nightguardwould have bfeen ineligible even underthe old rule. ' 'Siinee's o'wner-trairier (J. W. Lowe)was' apparently carrying "in his niindthe fact that Sunee had won only£387in first moneys whenhe made thenomination. But Sunee was the win-ner of the Champion Hack Handicapat the last Wellington Autumn Meet-ing, and the stake attached to thatevent for the winner was £260 (in-cluding the trophy, which' under therules must be included in the value).

Rule 178 (1) defines a "hack". as "ahorse that has riot at any tune priorto time of entry for ap flat race,hurdle race, or steeplechase, as thecase maybe, won such a race of thevalue of £200 or more to the winner,or such races of the aggregate valueof £400 or more to the winner." Itis under the first part ofthis rule thatSunee' is ineligible. ■ Sunee's nomina-tion for the. October Hack Handicap ohthe first, day is therefore■■voided.

In the case of Nightguard the over-sight has probably' been due to thefact that his present owner-<Mr. J. D.F. Corry) has not-always had him,and that his first three successes weregained in .other colours. Be that as itmay, however, Nightguard. has wonnine races worth in all £525 to thewinner, which would have debarredhim from entry even; under the ruleas it was before it'was amended. , .There might be' a idoubt whetherNightguard in the entries lis.not meantfor Nightlass, but Nightguard •is thename;entered for -the. shorter hackevents each day, an* Nightlass isseparately in the two hack miles.

BRITISH COMPANIES

INCREASED EARNINGS

"ECONOMIST'S" ANALYSIS

(By Telegraph.—Press Assu.—Copyright.)LONDON, October 12.The "Economist's" analysis of the in-

dustrial profits of 345 companies, the"acid test of recovery," for the thirdquarter of 1935 shows a total increasein earnings of 12$ per cent.

Spectacular increases were recordedin rubber plantations, while more nor-malrises were secured in the iron andsteel industries and consumption inretail trades.,

Tea and textiles alone were a dis-■appointment. 'The dividend policy is becomingcautious, more being allocated to re-serves and less to shareholders.' Pre-ference shareholders are at ■ last re-ceiving a.better deal, and the returnonthe preference capital nowaverages3.9 per cent.

BRITISH TEXTILES

MORE WOOL CONSUMED

.(By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.)LONDON, October 12.

Bradford has received numerous in-quiries, mostly from South America,for cheap, light woollen fabrics, ofwhich Italy supplies large quantities.

The latest Ministry of Labour figuresshow that employment in the wool andtextile industry is the highest sinceNovember, 1934.

Wool consumption is higher in recentweeks .than usual for the time of year.

WOLLEN PROFITS

YORKSHIRE EXPERIENCE

The effects of falling wool valuesrast season are apparent in the annualreport of Patons and Baldwins, York-shire spinners, with branch establish-ments in Australia and Canada, forthe yearended April 30 last. The com-pany has a capital of £2,958,738, ofwhich £1,359,447. is in preferenceshares, and £1,599,291 in ordinaryshares. A profit of £243,649 is shown,compared with £330,301 for the pre-ceding twelve months. In 1932-33 theprofit was £409,272. Dividend wasmaintained at the rate of 10 per cent.,but no funds were allocated to re-serves or pensions as has been usualwith the concern. Isaac Holden andSons, Bradford, combers,. paid theirfinal dividend for the year at 7i percent-but profitsfor the twelve monthswere £33,032, being £6294 less. Wool-combers, Ltd., Yorkshire, declared aninterim dividend for the half-yearended June 30, at the rate of 5 percent, tax free, .the same as for thesimilar six months of 1934. Woolcomb-ers, whose earnings are derived fromcommission on combing, is a decidedlygood profit-maker. The company'sfinal dividend for 1934 was at the rateof 11J per cent., plus a cash bonus of10 per cent. Kelsall and Kemp; wool-len, flannel, and cloth manufacturers,showed a net profit of £20,379 for. theyear ended June 30, 1935. This totalcompares with £33,657for the previousaccounting period which covered thesix months to June 30, 1934. No ord-inary dividend is being paid, but thepreference dividend is payable. Thecompany stated that the price of rawmaterial interfered with earnings, thereduction in values necessitating ad-justment in the value of both woo]and manufactureson hand. .FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES

METAL PRICESSOME SHARP ADVANCES

DEMAND FOR MATERIALS

LONDON, October 12.The most spectacular feature of com-

modities has been the rise of nearly£17 in spot tin since October 4. UnitedKingdom stocks are estimated at 430tons, the lowest in history. Offeringsfrom the East are rapidly absorbedon the Continent, where most coun-tries are buying war stocks. Italy alsofruitlessly attempted to buy Bolivianand Nigerian shipments. The Malayanoutput is affected by labour troubles.If quotas are increased they are un-likely to.ease the tightness.

Rubber received a fillip from theDutch Government's announcementthat it was purchasing export licencesfor 20,000 tons from East India grow-ers, indicating that Holland intendsto enforce restrictions as far as pos-sible. Copper restrictionists are anxi-ous, and measures will probably betaken to increase production and checkthe rises.

Lead is in a healthier position, andthe price touched the highest since1930.

BUTTER AND CHEESEPRICES STILL RISING

(By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.)LONDON, October 12.The scarcity of butter continues to

strengthen the market. Germany isbuying heavier quantities of Danishand the Baltic and Russia are sellingless to Britain.

Prospective arrivals of Australianand New Zealand in October are503,000 boxes, compared with 584,000last year. Canada is expected to shipmorefreely in consequence of the Gov-ernment subsidy of two cents a poundon all exports in October, which areexpected to reach 10,000,000 pounds.The subsidy aims at clearance of Can-adian supplies, ensuring better pricesfor forthcoming supplies.

Tooley Street considers that nothingcan stop Australian and New Zealandbutter going higher, though buyers areoperating cautiously.

Cheese is also likely to improve.Empire eggs are sharply advanced,

and a further advance is possible.

LUCKY AGAINALL BLACKS WIN 11-8

FIRST MATCH IN SCOTLAND

TWO TRIESTO EACH SIDEUnited Press Association—TSy Electric Tclo-

graph—Copyright.LONDON, October 12.

The All Blacks defeated South ofScotland by 11 points to 8, after lead-ing 5-3 at half-time. A crowd of 18,000cheered Manchester when he led theteam on the field at Hawick. Theywere the first New Zealanders to playin Scotland since 1905.

The teams were:—New Zealand.—Gilbert; Ball, Mit-chell, Hart; Griffiths, Solomon; Sadler-Pepper, Hore, Adkins, Reid, King, Mo-Kenzie, Manchester, and Vorrath.South of Scotland.—Clark; McKieBreckenbridge,' Fairbairn, Thomson;

Peden; Dorward; Grieve, Gray, Cot-tington, Beattie, Cowe, Barrie, Aitchi-son, and Shaw.

The home side won the first scrum,gaining 20 yards, and later got goingon two occasions, but broke down ow-ing to faulty handling. Gilbert missedan easy penalty .kick. Mitchell wasdefending well and found the linewhen South were pressing. The homeside continued the pressure, Aitchisonnarrowly failing to score. A momentlater, however, McKie crossed the linefrom ascrum and touched down. Southof Scotland 3, New Zealand 0.

South were continually dangerous,Mitchell downing' McKie at a perilousmoment. The All Blacks then brokeaway and Hartwon a race for the Ball,which he touched down. Gilbert con-verted from in front of the posts. NewZealand 5, South of Scotland 3.

They were met by dourtackling. Theforwardswerenot equalto the South of Scotland' pack, whowere playing magnificently, both in thelooseand the scrums. The spell ended■with the score:— ""/ ":

"TERRIER FORWARDS"

HOME TEAM'S STRENGTH

SADLER'S HARD GAME

' LONDON, October 12.The special., correspondent of the

United Press Association, commentingon the game,"says'that the great re-ception accorded the All Blacks indi-cated that Scots were glad to welcomethe return of the New Zealanders after.thirty years. Hawick Park,' the famousScottish Rugger, centre, was crowded.Pipers played for an hour before thestart and piped the All Blacks on tothe field. The weather was cloudy witha threat of rain and the ground hold-ing.

The home forwards . were of theterrier type, to which.chief credit wasgiven for South of -Scotland's scorelessdraw with the Springboks in 1931. AScottish international who had wit-nessed several AH Black matches inEngland, advised the Borderers thatthe right tactics to adopt were to up-set the New Zealand attack.

CHOICE OF ALL BLACKBACKS.Even some of the All Blacks were

surprised at Mr. Meredith's selectionof the back division, which appearedleaderless owing to- the absence ofOliver, who was much missed as heoccupies a key ./position;.

The opening stages 6t the game fav-oured South, the All Blacks forwardsbeing pushed/ off'the'ball in severalrucks, and scrums.' ."Smith's first trywas well earned. Gilbert was cheeredfor his picking up in'the face of aforward rush/A minute after McKie'stry Mitchell saved another' throughdetermined tackling. Only Hart's pacecould have scored the'All Blacks' open-,ing try., >,' ;-:, ' .:

Vorrathwas prominent in tworushesand also in the-loose, once dummy-ing his: way. past an ..opponent. • Gil-bert. saved well( but "his: kicks didnot gain much, ground.-■\ Afteifya■■■long period of exchangingkicks with' the- advantage to South,Gilbert dashed through, hurling him-self against:his-*opponents- and gainedforty yards. Then- Solomon made agrand dash down the .centre of thefield, beating five.,men, but his passto King {was ■ not . taken. . Vorrathplayed half on occasions when Sadlerwas;caught in the-rucks.

>USHED OFF THE BALL., "The South forwards. were playinggrandly and were easily the best packencountered on the tour. Despite thefact that they had less weight' than;the,New Zealanders,' they pushed themoff the- ball many, times.' In the sec-ond half the; eight men were playingas one, whereas some of the All Blacksforwards were inclined to hang out ofthe rucks. ■The game developed into a greatbattle for., supremacy among the for-wards in which South gave the AllBlacks a lesson in quick heeling in thescrums. There was a period when theSouth forwards took control, bustlingSadler, whose forwards did not shieldhim." ■ 'The crowd was delighted with thehome team's efforts. Beattie, Shaw,and Cottington, among the forwards,and Dorward, Breckenridge, Fair-bairn, and McKie, in the backs,' weremaking unceasing efforts to secure anattacking position. Gilbert just failedto put Over a penalty from the side-line at half-way.

SOLOMON IMPROVED.Solomon, though sounder and surerthan previously, was often content tokick to the line after receiving the

ball. He had good and bad patches,sometimes punting well and handlingfinely and at others knocking on anddisplaying poor positional play. Sad-ler's play was hard rather than spec-tacular, but was always interesting.Hart at this stage made a desperateeffort to score and was only held outby grim tackling.

Souths backs fought tigerishly toretain their slender lead, but the AllBlacks changed their formation, Grif-fiths going to first five-eighths and Gil-bert to second five-eighths. Thisproved effective. The All Blacks werecertainly somewhat lucky to have thelead as the final whistle sounded.South o£ Scotland gave the side a[great shock.

Hart, Sadler, Vorrath, King, and Mc-

Kenzie were the best New Zealanders.Solomon and Mitchell did not rise tothe occasion. Their tackling was gene-rally unconvincing and they will havejto improve greatly in the future as theteam will probably meet far betterScottish backs against Glasgow andEdinburgh on October 16, when it isexpected that their opponents will in-clude eight internationals,

HARBAN SINGH OUT

WALKER'S LOOP SLAM

EMPIRE WRESTLING TITLE

EXCITEMENT AT STADIUM

George Walker's famous back loopslam, applied with all its old devasta-ting force, spelt defeat for HarbanSingh in the professional wrestlingmatch at the Wellington Show Stad-ium on Saturday night and incidentallyclarified the position in regard to themuch-disputed British Empire title tothe extent of eliminating the Indian.The bout was billed as a title contestwith Walker the defender, and it re-mains to be seen what will eventuateto settle the issue so far as the otherRichmonds in the field are concerned.

That there are" other claimants wasmade clear before Walker and Singhopened hostilities. The "announcer(Mr. H. F. Wood) had just told theaudience or tne National SportingjClub's willingness to provide a pursejof £250 for a McCready-Duala matchwhen the stalwart figure of GeorgeHopkins stepped through the ropes.His plea for an audience was granted,and he proceeded to say a few wordsto the effect that there seemed to bean impression that he and others un-der the Dominion Union's banner wereafraid to meet Walker and Duala. Heassured the public.that this was riotso and said that he as an Englishman"would have to be considered in anyEmpire title series. Hopkins receiveda somewhat mixed hearing, and whenhe could no. longer make himselfheardhe walked over to Walker's cornerand melodramatically slapped its oc-cupant across the face with his gloves.;

Walker, naturally, resented this treat-ment and made as if to reply to it, butrestrained himself and vouchsafed horesponse.other than a fleeting derisivesmile. ..Hopkins then marched acrossto Singh and shook "himby the handbefore retiring to his ringside seat.Walker then had a word with the an-nouncer, after which it was statedthat Walker wished he could havewrestled Hopkins that night.A further delay of a few minutes oc-curred while the inspector of policewaited for the contestants' certificatesto be placed in his hands. Conse-quently it was about 9.30 p.m. beforethe big event started, but an entertain-ing series of preliminaries, followed byHopkins's little gesture, had preventedthe time from dragging. ' 'AN EXCELLENT CONTEST. . ;

The bout which followed was easilythe best that has been staged at theStadium this season, and it served tore-establish the prestige which , theNational Club had been in danger oflosing. There was always somethinghappening, gruelling work on the matbeing varied with more lively action,and a high standard of wrestling wasmaintained throughout; A crowd ofhealthy dimensions followed the ex-changes with the closest attention, andapplause repeatedly punctuated thesuccessive rounds. •• ;•

Harban Singh, whose weight wasgiven as 14st 41b, compared withWalker's 15st 21b, showed that he wasa worthy challenger and he took thefirst fall at 7min 46sec in the fifthround with a body press following aseries of shoulder butts. Hammeringon the back pf Walker's neck withlocked hands and producing a furthersupply of butts, he endeavoured to un-settle Walker further in the nextroundand he succeeded to the extent thatWalker, showed convincing signs ofdistress. "Walker's done" was onmany lips, but the position was betterrealised' by those who called to Singhto be careful. Suddenly Walker se-cured a crotch hold and it looked asif he was going to hoist the Indianfora slam, but he changed his mind.Locking the Indian's arms he- threwhtm over his head and flattened himout with a bump. Singh had no fur-ther interest in the bout, and the fallwhich was awarded to Walker in lmin58sec, ended.the proceedings.

POPULAR VICTORY.It was also the signal for a remark-able demonstration in Walker's hon-our; The hold which Walker hassecured on the New Zealand wrestlingpublic's imagination is somethingwhich time does riot seem to be ableto change and his victory fairlybrought the house down." It wasfollowed by an excited rush to theringside to see how Harban Singh wasprogressing .towards recovery andthere was a crash when the trestlesunder the Press table collapsed be-neath those who made use of it toclimb on to the staging..In the early stages.of the bout theinitiative was generally taken byHarban Singh, and he handled hisheavier opponent in workmanlike fash-ion, in addition, to knocking him offi}ls^ eet several times with shoulderbutts. Forearms, and elbows were em-ployed in a display of feeling as earlyas the second round. Walker showeda partiality for using barred toe holds,and once the referee had to interveneto save Singh from being, emptied outof the ring. Singh proved a hardman to hold and several times hemanaged to secure splits holds with-out, however, making much headway.In retaliation Walker gave the Indiana gruelling with a crucifix

LIVELY EXCHANGES.Walker, was soon perspiring" freely,but scarcely, a drop of moisture showedon Harban's brown skin. There was aroar from the crowd early in; thefourth round when Harban, after fell-

ing Walker with a butt, used ManMountain Dean's broad jump. Walkersprang to his feet and ran round thering to escape a second dose. Theythen set upon each other with theirarms working like piston rods, jump-ing about- in lively fashion untilWalker stepped through the ropes fora spell, earning a chorus of boos. Whenbmgh set upon Walker with rabbitpunches akick in the stomach checkedhis impetuosity. Dumping Singh, andfollowing up with chancery throws,Walker quickened the tempo, but washalted by receiving Singh's shoulderm his midriff.

Singh pressed his advantage and.after bowling Walker over severaltimes, tried for a fall with a press.While the crowd yelled "Fall! Fall!"the referee held his hand as Walkerkept daylight between one shoulderand the canvas. The ringing of thegong gave Walker a rest from thistreatment, but the proceedings wereagain marked by plenty of energy onbotn sides when the fifth round open-ed. Singh eventually got going withhis shoulder butts again, and the sub-sequent developments were as de-scribed above.

Mr. A. Jenkins was the referee.AMATEUR PRELIMINARIES.

MR. TROUP HONOUREDBIBLE CLASS RALLY

A combined rally of past and pre-sent members of the St. John's YoungMen's Bible Class was held yesterdayafternoon to commemorate Mr. G. A.Troup's many years of service to theorganisation. An enlarged portrait ofMr. Troup was presented to the class.There were over 100 members present.

The Rev. J. R. Blanchard extendeda welcome to Mr. Troup and those whohad gathered to do him honour.

In the course ofa paper on "Founda-tions Laid by the Bible Class," Mr. J.Butler, Napier, said that it was dim-cult to realise that at one time Bibleclasses were regarded as innovations,and in some quarters as dangerousinnovations. He denied the sugges-tion that Bible classes wished totheir independence and cut adrift fromthe churches.

Mr. Troup said it was an unquali-fied pleasure to see again the facesthat were familiar 20, 30, and 40 yearsago. One of the greatest foundationslaid in the class had been that of co-operation, he said, and he urged pre-sent members by co-operating with|their leaders to relieve them of someof the burdens which leadership en-tailed. Mr. Troup traced the history)of the Bible class magazine, the firstcopy of which, written in Mr; Butler'shandwriting, he displayed. This he|desired to present to the class, to bebound and kept. Herelated how whenthe demand for the magazine pre-ieluded its being produced, by slower|methods the decision had been madeto purchase their own printing press, jand how members had excavated be-ineath his ownhouse and there erectedand operated the plant.

Mr. N.. McFarlane, on behalf ofpast members of St. John's Bibleclass, made the presentation of theportrait of Mr. Troup. He hoped, hesaid, that the portrait would serve asan inspiration to all who beheld it tofollow Mr. .Troup's lead in the workof the class.

Replying, Mr. Troup said that thegreatest thanks one could ever havewas to see boys growing tomen in thedoctrines they had learned at the Bibleclasses.

SOUTH AFRICAN VETERANS

The monthly meeting of the Domin-ion executive of the South AfricanWar Veterans' Association was held atheadquarters, Hunter Street, on'Thurs-dsy evening. The president, Mr. J. I.Goldsmith; presided. The secretary,Mr. J. H. E. Tilling, who has the in-terests of ex-South African service-menat heart, nresented a very interest-ing agenda paper.The suggestion of a cottage settle-ment scheme, brought forward by theTauranga Association at the last con-ference, was discussed, and it was re-solved that the president, with CaptainJ.

TABLE TENNIS

HUTT TOURNAMENT

NOTES ON PLAYERS

A remarkable recovery of form wasthe reason for K. Longmore's successin the open singles at the Hull ValleyTable Tennis Sub-association's annualchampionships.

On the opening night o£ the tourna-ment Longmore showed only averageform, and was considered lucky toreach the semi-finals. He beat L.Ridler, last year's champion, with easeon the concluding night, however,and the complexion of the event wasentirely altered. His defence was asgood as Ridler's, while his attack leftlittle to be-desired.

E. Hughes, the other finalist, in con-trast to Longmore, displayed inferiorform on the final night. Although heplayed many fine shots, he was nomatch for Longmore, who was bril-liant on defence. Longmore's attack-ing shot, which is a beautifully-timedbackhand flick, was used to advantage,his opponent being unable to do any-thing against the consistent choppingand top spin used to make the neces-sary opening for that shot .

I. G. Tustin, the other semi-finalist,who went down to Hughes, was re-sponsible for the surprise of the tour-nament when he defeated W: T. Mc-Farlane in the quarter-finals in twostraight sets. Tustin, whose type of

game is to chop consistently, was mostimpressive.

■ As expected, Mrs. M. Brennan provedtoo good for her opponents in thewomen's singles..

Miss K. Tustin, who met Mrs. Bren-nan in the final, is more aggressivethan, the average player of her sex.She put up a good fight against Mrs.Brennan and had she notbeen so eagerto hit winners she would have wonat least one set against Mrs. Brennan,whose experience was undoubtedly abig factor in her success.

Mrs. Ingham, who caused a surprisewhen she eliminated Miss Turner, pro-vided one of the best matches in thewomen's singles when she met MissTuslin in the semi-finals. ' Miss Tustinwon each set by the nirrowcst of mar-gins. Mrs. Ingham is a player ofwhom more should be heard next sea-son.

The mixed doubles final providedanother splendid match when L. Ridlerand MissK. Tustin met W. T. McFar-lane and Mrs. Brennan. Ridler andMiss K. Tustin, the winners, combinedwell, as did Mrs. Brennan and McFar-lane, but the brilliance of Mi- Tustinwas the deciding factor. Miss Tustinwho took McFar'-ne's service andplay in both the first and third setsrarely made a mistake and many ofher recoveries of McFarlane's well-placed shots left little to be desired.

(By Telegraph.)(Special to the "Evening Post.")

CHRISTCHURCH, This Day.A perfect day greeted competitors

for the second day's play in the OpenChampionship at Shirley on Saturday.During the day a light nor'-east windtempered the heat. Spectators gath-ered at various vantage points round,the course, the main assembly beingon the "Pagoda" hill, overlooking prac-tically the whole of the course. Sohot was the day that an ice creamvender with his stand overlooking the"Pagoda" green never had a let-up,players and spectators sharing in theopportunity to cool off. \ •Heavily watered overnight, thecourse was holding, and shots on tomost of the greens could be pitchedright into the pin, a notable exceptionbeing the fourth hole with its ele-vated green. The surface here wasglassy and trapped the majority ofplayers, many 6's and 7's being carded.J. Hornabrook was early out, andwas away to a flying start. He wasfortunate at the first hole in findinga fair he in the rough off a hookeddrive. ■ A number four iron secondscampered through the green, but hol-ing his return chip shot the youngMasterton amateur strode confidentlytowards the second tee.

OUR PENAL SYSTEM(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Our 1935 Police ■ and .Prisons"Reports provide- in some respects suchpleasant'reading'that, tas a citizen, Iam moved.to thank yourpaper for Itsshare in; helping to bring about thefacts therein recorded. Our com-mittals to Borstal have gone downfrom 242 in 1932 to 120 in 1934! Ourprison receptions have declined, by-29per cent, since 1931! And our"; crimeratio, though :it"sh'ows a'much smallerimprovement, still:-shows a quite'decided one,' so:that evidently weneednot fear that ourfewer committalswillincrease-our crime. Now, what haseffected so striking a success?

One must always be careful in suchmatters to avoid confusing sequencewith consequence. But may I recall afew facts that were duly reported inyour columns at the time? In 1931the Howard League, through the mouthof one of its members, Mr. F. A. de laMare, attacked the pretence of "teach-ing trades" in our Borstals; the Min-ister of Justice hotly rebuked him,and the Press presented both thosefacts and.allowed subsequent corres-pondence. Then again the HowardLeague, from 1931 onward, publishedthe English prison and Borstal figuresas contrasted with our own. Againthe Department disputed, and againthe Press helped on publicity. As aresult, our courts were put into pos-session of true facts and information!proving that we do not need for theprotection of the public to imprisonand Borstalise so freely. And does itnot seem that they have been con-vinced?

There is yet much to be done to freeus from so much spreading of crimethrough imprisonment. We still im-prison over 25 per cent, more thanEngland; we still have a daily prison,average some three times larger thanit should be; we still send too manyfirst offenders to those modified boys'prisons that we miscall our Borstals.And we still use probation far toolittle, imprisoning over five timesas often—while Massachusetts, the"Mother of Probation," probates fivetimes as often as she imprisons andpossesses "about the lowest crime ratein the States." But we are moving.We are improving. Our Press hasdone New Zealand a signal service inhelping to spread knowledge about ourpresent penal system.—l am,, etc.,; B. E. BAUGHAN.

RURAL FINANCES

(To the Editor.)Sir,—ln Thursday's issue you devote

a whole column to the views offarmers in connection with remits onfinance and ,the Rural MortgagorsFinal Adjustment Act. Many farmersclaim that we need monetary reform—whereas what is actually needed isfarming reform. The Hawke's Bay re-mit, that a small board of three farm-ersbe selected to help the Commission,is really a fine idea—from a farmer'saspect.. What is ailing farmers andwhere will their appeals and demandson society land us?

Today we find butter making 123sand cheese 63s per cwt, a 361b lamb isworth245, potatoes areat the enormousprice of £20 per ton, onions, wheat,oats, chaff, and hay are fetching profit-able prices. Regardless of that, thefarmers ask in the remit "That moneyrequired shall be obtained (retained?)from the mortgagee," and "that moneybe subscribed by the UnemploymentFund." May I ask if the unemploy-ment funds are for farmers or theunfortunate unemployed? When willthetaxpayers protest against this end-less pampering of farmers?I venture the opinion that many

farmers are trading on the lenience ofthe Commissioner of Lands. Mr. L.Hammond (a farmer) admits thatunder present legislation the tendencyis for farmers to hang back in thebreeching—rather a serious indictment.Following private discussions betweenthe Farmers' Union and the Govern-ment are we to expect a further bur-den of lopsided concessions to farmers?

The continued grant of concessionsto farmers is reaching a very danger-ous limit. Only last week we had adeputation to Parliament of men whohad attemptedto assist farmers throughthe Rural Credits (the farmers' apathyhad betrayed them).

goodhealth is 'ASPRO.' At the slightest sign of headaches, sleeplessness, ftftfj^k nerviness, etc., take 'ASPRO' according to directions. 'ASPRO' is the||j^L greatest help duringthe change of seasons. After ingestion in thesystemllj^B 'ASPRO' is a solvent of uric acid, a powerful germicide,an anti-pyreticor

ADVENTUROUS PEOPLE

WOMEN IN THE AIR

It seems, somehow, rather an appal-ling discovery that the Russians havemade, that women will make betterair pilots than men for work at highaltitudes in the next war, states awriter in "The Queen." M. Grobovski,one of Russia's leading aerial expertsand designers, has carried out exhaus-tive tests with delicate sensitive girlsflyingat high altitudes, and has provedtheir adaptability to such conditions.The tests have shown that girls' areusually not affected by the rarefiedatmosphere even at oyer 26,000 feet;whereas the best men pilots in perfecttraining generally need the use of anoxygen respirator at over 21,000 feet.

"This insensitiveness to.altitude, willbe of vital importance in the nextair war, which is likely to be foughtat great heights, because oxygen re-spirators obstruct the pilot's view andimpair his fighting skill," he said."Give your woman pilot two months'holiday each year, six months' specialleave every two or three years so thatshe can have her babies" (a . trulySoviet touch, that!) ''and she willprovesuperior to male pilots under all cir-cumstanpes." He blames the Sovietauthorities for not admitting more girlcandidates to their military and civilflying corps.. Russian girls havealready completely beatenRussian menat.parachute-jumping.

In this connection it is interesting tofind that the most daring parachutistin- Sir Alan Cobham's "Flying Circus"is a girl. Miss Joan Meakinregularlymakes sensational leaps with a para-chute from the wing of an aeroplaneat the Cobham Air ;Displays heldthroughout England.

V.A.D.S IN ENGLAND

N.Z. VISITOR'S REPORTS

"I attended two special days forvisitors," states Mrs. Gledhill, whorecently returned from England in. areport given to the Wellington RedCross. "The one was an inspectionof the V.A.D.s themselves from everypart of England, by the Commanderof the British Army, and the secondwas an inspestion of the officers ofthe V.A.D.s by her Royal Highnessthe Princess Royal. Both occasionswere very momentous and fujl of in-terest, particularly to any one comingfrom New Zealand, as the wholecourse of the British V.A.D. is muchmore comprehensive 'than that givenin New Zealand. Much of the train-ing would not be practicable unlessit were possible to hold such camps,for on these occasions they are ableto have the most able instructors ineach department. You can quite rea-lise that this would not even be pos-sible for each detachment to arrange.

"Several rooms of the naval collegewere occupied by the trainees forvarious'Classes. One large room wasdevoted to a display of pictures andwork demonstrating the aims andideals of the child welfarework. Manyof these examples were on the lines ofour Truby King methods ~of childtraining, and the care of mothers andinfants, but as youknow these methodshave not been universally accepted bythe British community, although it issurprising, to discover how many ofthe leading organisations dealing withchild welfare have adopted similarprinciples to those propounded by SirTruby King. ;

"Classes were being held and lec-tures were being given by; expert in-structors. The cooking departmentwas certainly quite an interesting fea-ture of the training. A large roomwas. fitted with gas stoves iall roundthe walls. Long tables separated theV.A.D.S who. were cooking, from theonlookers. . On the tables were manyvaried specimens of invalid cookery,already prepared with the} recipe for-each dish attached. If you were in-terested, the girl responsible for theturning out of the particular dishwould explain to you methods, etc.In addition: to this, a very generousafternoon tea was served by theV.A.D.S, all the cooking for whichhad been done by the girls them-selves. This was served in the largeassembly hair of the college. Themarch past the Commander of theForces was a very inspiring sight. Thegirls were well- trained in; marchingand their whole drill was Very wellexecuted. The protection dj-ffl againstchemical warfare was an J importantfeature of the camp, and demonstra-tions were given by parties of girls.These were very well carried out,using gas masks during the process ofsame. Stretcher bearing was realis-tically performed with small boyslying on the field as the injuredpatients. j ' •"The second time I visited the campduring the following week was onthe occasion of the officers' camp. Themain feature of the day was the marchpast her Royal Highness the PrincessRoyal. The day was all that couldbe desired—the sun was shining bril-liantly, making, the lawns, bordered bygloriously green, oak trees in thebackground, with the bright scarletcoats of the uniforms of the regimentalbandsmen present a most delightfulscene. The officers looked very smartas they marched past in various forma-tions, the procession being headed byofficers bearing the Union Jack andthe Red Cross Ensign. When' the lastmarch ceased, and they had formedinto the various .county sections, thePrincess Royal, accompanied by DameOHiver and several of the senior offi-cers, walked down the lines, the Com-mandant of each county being intro-duced to her Kbyal Highness.

"We afterwards adjourned to after-noon tea. The large cake in thecentre of the table and cut by, the Royalvisitor, was made, iced, and beauti-fully, decorated by. the y.A.I).s . I.mustadd a tribute to «the natural,. thoughregal bearing of her Royal Highnesson this occasion, and her charming ap-pearance, which was enhanced in theuniform of,the Commandant of theBritish Red Cross V.A.D.S."'

In the course, of renovations to "St.Maria ihv Kapitol," one of the oldestchurches in Cologne, relics have, beenfound which are believed to have be-longed to the relatives of the ThebanLegion. The relics were found insarcophagi, but the inscriptions ohthese are illegible. '

THOUGHT AND FOOD

A heavy lunch slows down yourthinking process, according to Dr.Donald A. Laird, U.S. psychologist,who bases his conclusion on a seriesof tests made with special apparatus.Each subject of the tests held betweenhis teeth a clamp connected with anelectrical timing device that automati-cally recorded the time interval laps-ing between a question and a reply.Subjects who had just dined heavily,Dr. Laird reported, required a longeraverage time to respond to questionsrequiring thought than those who hadpartaken of only a light meal.

MASTER MARINERSCOMPANY'S ANNUAL DINNER

SUCCESSFUL FUNCTIONAn atmosphere of robust camaraderie

made the annual dinner of the NewZealand Company of Master Mariners,which was held at the Midland HotelonSaturday evening, go with a swing.The Governor-General (Lord Galway),who was the guest of honour as pat-ron, stressed the importance to theEmpire as a whole of the Britishmercantile marine; than which, hesaid, no: more loyal body of menexisted.

Sir Charles.Statham, president ofthe company, was in the chair. MajorPurvis, military secretary, and SirStandish O'Grady Roche, R.N., A.D.C.,accompanied his Eaccilency. Otherguests were the Hon. C. E. Macmillan,Minister of Agriculture; Captain L. V.Morgan, M.V.O, D.5.0., A.D.C., secondNaval Member of the Navy Board;Captain W. H. Hartman, marine super-intendent of the Shaw, Savill, andAlbion Co., Ltd., arid Mr. L. B. Camp-bell, secretary to the Marine Depart-ment. ,

Proposing the toast of the Governor-General, Sir Charles Statham said therugged and robust loyalty of mastermariners to the King was surpassedby no other section of the community.

HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM.His. Excellency, in reply, said he

had the greatest admiration for thegreat companies of master mariners, ofwhich the body in New. Zealand wasone. The company in London held avery high place in the esteem of thecity and ranked close to the greatcity guilds.r He touched onthe doings of the mer-cantile marine in the Great War, re-marking that no other section hadgreater patriotism. Throughout theyears it had built up a tradition. Inthe time of Elizabeth the . fearlessadventurers set sail across unknownseas, without knowledge and withoutcharts—they were men indeed. Thatspirit lived on through the ages, andwas never more greatly exemplifiedthan in the Great War, in the men'sheroism in the cause of country andduty. In London, the HonourableCompany of Master Mariners, with thePrince of Wales as its master, was theyoungest of the great city guilds, andhad been founded jhiefly to com-memorate the doings of the Britishmercantile marine in the war.

Captain W. H. Hartman, proposingthe toast of "Parliament," said thatmembers; of Parliament could notplease everybody, and it should berecognised that they*Were working forthe good of the country at large.They were doing what they thoughtto be in. the interests of the com-munity. At present, with the crisisin Europe, every thinking man mustrealise, how much, in • New Zealandand throughout the Empire, the mer-cantile marine was ' depended upon.It was felt that Parliament realisedthat, and they looked forward, to Par-liament studying the interests of themercantile marine in all their doingsin the future.

LOYALTY TO THE THRONE.Sir ■ Charles Statham, responding,

said never had there been greateraffection and loyalty to the Thronethan at the time of the Silver Jubilee,:and never had there been greaterpride in being one of the greatBritish Commonwealth of Nations.

Other toasts honoured were "TheNavy," proposed by Captain W. White-man and responded to by Captain L.V. Morgan, R.N.; "The Merchant Ser-vice," proposed by the Hon. C. E.'Macmillan, .and responded to by Cap-tains F. A. Macindoe and S. Holm;"The Visitors," proposed by CaptainG.P. ilalland responded to by Messrs.A. Leigh Hunt and L. B. Campbell;and "Absent Members," proposed byCaptain a. S. Gill.

Sea:songs and other items werecontributed by Captains P. S. Peter-son, A. S. Gibson, W. J. Keane, G.Knowles, A.Boardman, and J. Sawyers(accompanist). -SWIMMING

PETONE CLUB'S MEETING

A large attendance at the annualmeeting of the Petone Amateur Swim-ming and Life-saving Club recentlywas presided over by Dr. J. Harding.

The chairman congratulated themembers and committee on a most suc-cessful year, and drew attention tothe lack of heating and dressing accom-modation at the Petone Baths. He in-timated that a delegation would pro-bably approach the Borough Councilin connection with this matter.It was suggested that the club shouldco-operate as much as possible withthe local schools in the matter of coach-ing younger swimmers.

Mr. G. H. Tunnicliffe, in nominatingDr. Harding as a life member of theclub, pointed out that such a youngclub as Petone should be very conser-vative in considering this award, sothat it should be rightly regarded asa rare honour and a mark of sincereappreciation of services rendered.There was no doubt that the nomina-tion of Dr. Harding was an expressionof the opinion of the entire member-ship of the club.

Mr. Cleland, in seconding thismotion, endorsed Mr. Tunnicliffe's re-marks, and the motion was carried byacclamation.

Dr.Harding returned thanks, and ap-pealed for support of all club functionsand for fuller co-operation with theHutt Swimming Club.

Officers were elected as follows:—Patron, .Mr..W. Nash, M.P.; president,Dr. J.Harding; vice-presidents, Messrs.J. C. Burns, J. Carey, Matthews, Oak-ley, Holland, E. Price, H. Firth, A.McFadyen, C. A.
