WATER-SPOILED GOODS.

SHIP ESCAPES LIABILITY.

NO PROOF AS TO TIME.Reserved decision waa given by Mr.

W. R. McKcan, S.M., in the Magis-trate's Court on Thursday, in an actionfor £66 3s 9d damages brought by GeorgeCourt and Sons, Ltd. (Mr, Houston),drapers, against the caplailt and ownersof the steamer Piako (Mr. A. H. John-stone). The claim was in respect of acase of woollen goods alleged to havebeen damaged after shipment from Eng-land by the steamer Piako. The damagewas caused by fresh water.

Mr. McKean &aid there was no evi-dence as to the condition of the goodsat the time of shipment except the ad-mission in the bill of lading that thecase was in apparent good order andcondition. There was evidence that aconsiderable amount of sweating occurredon the voyage of the Piako. ft was theship's maiden voyage, but the ship wasapparently well constructed, and therewas no evidence of any improper stow-age. The contents of the case Weredamp on arrival, but the evidence didnot show that this condition was causedby sweating, although it did show it waspossible for the damage to have beenoaused in this way. The question to bedecided was whether the admission in thebill of lading of the receipt in apparentgood order and condition of tho casecontaining the goods relieved tho plain-tiff from tho necessity of adducing someevidence as to the condition at tho timeof shipment. After quoting authorityMr. McKean said he must hold, in thiscape, that the bill of lading did not con-tain any admission with regard to thocontents of the cam Plaintiff could nottherefore succeed unless he gave primafacie evidence that the goods were notdamp when shipped. The agreemomtthat for the purpose of obtaining a re-fund of customs duty the goods shouldbe considered as damaged to the extentof 40 per cent- of their value was notone which tho magistrate considered heshould have regarded as binding on thedefendants had he been able to findnegligence on their part. Plaintiffs didnot know the prices at wbioh thedamaged goods were sold. They shouldhave known this, and their claim shouldhave been for the difference between theordinary retail price and the price atwhich they actually sold. Plaintiffs werenonsuited. Costs were allowed defend-ants.

DON'T OVERTAX THE NERVES.The nerves must have a certain amount

of rest and food to enable them to oper-ate efficiently. When the blood streambecomes thin or impure, tho nerve cellsare deprived of the necessary nourish-ment. Their work, however, goes on re-lentlessly, and the consequence is thatsooner or later the inevitable break-downoccurs.

When feeling run-down, an excellentrestorativo is found in Baxter's QuininePills. Theso genuine Pills contain noharmful ingredients. Gently and surelythey cleanse and tone the digestive or-gans—giving freedom from indigestion,biliousness, and 60 on. This internal

(cleansing naturally purifies the blood,I which is also enriched through the newpowers of the body to eitract nourish-ment from the food eaten.

I The .general physical well-being pro-I duced bv Baxter's Quinine Pills is quicklyI reflected by the nervous systejn. Thei brain cells, being fed by healthy blood.| become normally active, and mental work! ceases to be fatiguing

THE PRINCE IN JAPAN.

Thjs Prince of Wales has landed inJapan in that special Ambassadorialcapacity he is so well fitted to fill.His reception, marked as it was byfriendly enthusiasm, will be a sub-ject of gratified comment throughoutthe British Empire. It is a cheeringsign that even in Japan the Princeof Democracy has been permitted tomingle in street throngs and watchthe joyouß life of childhood, and itis doubly cheering that his welcomewas made the occasion of a popularpro-British demonstration. Butapart from these surface indications,the visit of the Prince of Wales toJapan is an event of far-reachingimportance. Japanese sentiment, ifit sometimes reacts to obscurantistinfluences, is no mean factor in pub-lic life and policy, and it is Ukely to

be flattered by the Prince's visit.Shortly after the cordial welcomewhich the Japanese Crown Princereceived in Britain, the Emperorinvited the Prince of Wales to visitJapan on the occasion of his tour inthe East, and the invitation was

glady accepted by the King. Thatthe Prince will represent the Empireworthily need not be doubted. Hisinstincts are sound in any company,and in Japan he will be the inter-preter of the Anglo-Japanese friend-ship which survives unimpaired theformal abrogation of the alliance.He will interpret this friendship at a

critical moment. The Japanese area sensitive people. One of thechief reasons for their loyalty toBritain is that Britain was the firstof the Western Powers to offer themalliance and the equality of allies.It will be the privilege of the Princeof Wales to demonstrate that thoughthe husk of the alliance has gone,the kernel of friendship remains,that the goodwill so long subsistingbetween Britain and Japan is notimpaired by being absorbed in thewider understanding arising out ofthe Washington Conference.

To the British Empire the develop-ment of Japan remains a matter ofpeculiar interest. Like the British,the Japanese are a maritime peopleconfined in a small island home.Like the home-staying British, theyare compelled to import a large pro-portion of their food, and they aretherefore being driyen by force ofcircumstances steadily along thepath of industrial development.Within half-a-century the whole lifeof the people has changed. Modernideas have invaded the cities, thefactory system has supplanted handindustry, and electricity, steam-power, and machinery find them-selves as much at home in Japan aselsewhere. This rapid expansionhas been assisted by some conditionspeculiar to Japan. Not only havemanufacturers had the advantage ofa high tariff and the paternal helpof Government teaching and sub-sidies, but they have enjoyed anabundant supply of cheap, intelli-gent and efficient labour. The timesare still changing in Japan, and itis probable that labour will becomerelatively dearer, but Japan is farfrom class-consciousness and enjoysin her population a degree ofpatriotism and loyalty that extendsto all classes and is unexcelled any-where in the world. A country im-bued with such a spirit can scarcelyfail to achieve greatness, and sincethe Washington Conference hasgiven a pacific turn to Japanesepolicy progress is likely to be mostmarked in the economic sphere.Japan more than any other countrywill feel the relief of disarmament,and more than any other will she bestimulated industrially by the liftingof the cloud of war. Industry andwar were to her alternatives. Shewas compelled either to find an out-let in conquered territory for her

growing population or to maintain itm comfort in her crowded islands.If flhe rejoots the hazard of war shemust necessarily seek salvation inindustry.

In other respects the developmentof Japan during the next few de-cades will prove of far-reaching im-portance. From a feudal Japan ispassing to i> democratic basis. HerParliamentary history e;ctends overlittle more than 30 years, and repre-sentative institutions have not yetwholly come into their own. TheGenro, or Elder Statesmen, haveno place under the constitution, butthey are still the real rulers of thecountry, making and unmakingCabinets and controlling the Diet ina variety of ways. Their power isdeclining and is likely to decline stillfaster with the extension of thefranchise, yet it must be confessedthere is a certain risk in the tran-sition. The Elder Statesmen haveused their authority wisely. If ininternational affairs they have some-times been a disturbing influencetheir policy has been amazinglyefficient. The democracy of Japan

may in the future do even better,but there must be a change-overperiod of some difficulty and stress

since public opinion is yet neithereducated nor well organised. It isat that time, perhaps more than at

any Other, that Japan will need the

moral support of her friends. Ininfusing new warmth into Anglo-Japanese friendship the Prince ofWales will render a service not only

to his own country but to Japan.

THE AIR TRAGEDY.

The aeroplane fatality recorded to-day will deeply move every Britishcommunity. Australia especiallywill mourn the loss of two of her

native born who, with no advantages

beyond their own couragc and skill,havo won their way to a foremostplace among the pioneers of flying.In New Zealand the grief may boless personal, but as a near neigh-bour we will, perhaps more fully

than most people, appreciate Aus-tralia's feelings on this tragic loss,as we have always understood herpride in the achievements of herflying men. It is no small thing thatfour Australian-born men demon-strated the possibility of flight fromBritain to Australia, and the worldis to-day poorer and sadder becausehalf of that gallant little companyhave made their last flight. The lossto aeronautics is increased, as thepathos of the fatality is deepened,by the circumstance that Sir RossSmith, Lieut. Bennett and Sir KeithSmith wero preparing for a round-the-world flight, starting on AnzacDay. That flight, with all that itmeant in aviation experience, mustnow be abandoned. The first busi-ness of all who can help in the diffi-cult search must be to discover thecause of a distressing fatality whichis at present inexplicable, but withthat duty accomplished, volunteerswill no doubt come forward to takeup the pioneering work of the twomen who did so much for aviationand who died so tragically on theeve of a great enterprise.

THE WAIPU BRANCH.

One of the most refreshing con-tributions to the government of NewZealand that has been made for a

long time is the draft petition pre-pared by the chairman of theWhangarei County Council and en-

dorsed by his colleagues upon thequestion of constructing some six-

teen miles of railway to Waipu.There is apparently a substantialbody of opinion in the district con-vinced that its needs would be moreeconomically served by a metalledroad than by a railway, and theWhangarei Council supports thisview. It is probably right, but thevalue of its action is that it insistsupon the application of commercialtests to new railway projects. Theconstruction of this line was begunat the end of March, 1919, not be-cause the Public Works Departmentwas satisfied by proper inquiries thatthe line was necessary and would beprofitable, but because the localsettlers undertook to provide labour.At that time lack of labour was thedepartment's unfailing excuse forinactivity, and the idea of investi-gating the financial prospects ofrailway extensions had not beenbrought into its policy. Since thenthe supply of labour has been im-proved, but the need for new prin-ciples in public works policy is asgreat as before. A fortnight agothe Prime Minister himself told adeputation from Waipu that thepeople of the district could have aroad or a railway, " whichever theypreferred," regardless, apparently,of all other considerations, sinceMr. Massey allowed the local mem-ber to submit the question to de-cision by a show of hands. Thismethod of determining the alloca-tion of public money might beallowed if the districts concernedprovided guarantees against loss,but they do not, and, as a result ofthe building of railways to catchvotes instead of to carry traffic, thetaxpayers of the country have tofind at ldiist £1,000,000 this year tokeep the railways from bankruptcy.The Whangarei Council has had thecourage to protest against the ex-penditure of public money in its owndistrict because it believes the resultwill be waste and inefficiency.Surely the Government will not beless courageous, but will refuse tobuild a railway to Waipu or any-where else until it has fully ex-amined the cost and the efficiency ofalternative means of transport.

The 'custom of presenting Easter eggs,which has long been in vogue in many ofthe Continental countries and in theUnitod States of America, seems to begrowing in popularity in Auckland, andmerchants who handle these gifts statethat they havo sold a greatly increasednumber in the past few ■weeks.

In thesecountries Easter eggs, or Pasch eggs, areregarded as symbolical of creation, or there-creation of spring. Christians adoptedthe custom to symoolise the resurrectionand coloured t.he red in allusion tothe blood of their redemption. Prior tothe war Easter confectionery eggs wereimportod from England, but the subse-quent cost of transit and uncertainty ofsupplies interfered with local consign-

GIfiBOBNB, Thursday.

The death of a single woman, FrancesJean McCarthy, aged 27 years, formed thesubject for an inquest before Mr. J. S.

Barton, coroner.The evidence ehowed thai the deceased

and a girl companion were walking homeon the night of March 7 on the correctside of the road with their bicycles. Theywere run into by a motor-car occupied bytwo young men and two girls.

The coronor returned a verdict thatdeath was the result of injuries reoeivedon March 7, when the deceased waa toddown at night bv a motor-car, which atthe time was in the joint control of Syd-ney Hirst Forbes and Albert HectorCharles. The coroner added that it wouldseem necessary to rouse a greater senseof responsibility for the protection of thepublic. The evidence established that thecar wn/3 insufficiently lighted. The nightwaa fairly dark and the car was travellingfairly fast. The lights threw no beamin front, but throw a light on the sideonly, and the driver did not see the de-ceased until the car was practically incontact with her. He felt it his duty, as

coroner, to say the evidence showed astate of things that could only be describedas shocking when reviewed as the possiblestandard of conduct of motor-car driverstoward other users of the road.

Forbes and Cbarles were subsequentlyehartred with manslaughter, and remandedfor a week. Bail in each case was fixedat £l5O each and snretke of £l5O.

(Roteired E p-mj

A . N.i NZ. LONDON. April IS.

Sir Ross Smith, the famous airman,who fiew to Australia with his brotherSir Keith Smith, was killed in an aero-plane smash to-day, together with Lieu-tenant, J. M- Bennett, who wan lo haveaccompanied the brothers on their pro-posed flight round the world. The two

victims were testing their machine when!t, suddenly crashed to the ground- SirRoss Smith was found dead in his seatin the machine, which was a mere heapof wreckage. Lieutenant Bennett was5o severely injured that ho expiredimmediately after he had been ex-tricated.

The two airmen rose at 12.15from the Brooklands aerodrome. Theflying conditions were most favourable.The machine flew perfectly for a quarterof an hour and then developed a spin

and crashed. Nose-dmng, it fell on topof an iron fence bounding the track. Thecause of the accident has so far not beenttp'aincd.

Half an hour before the fatal flight,Captain Cockerill, of Ytckers. had success-fully flown the machine for 30 minutes.He then handed it over to Sir RossSmith- The dead airman's brother Keithhad intended joining in the trial flight,but arrived at tie aerodrome too late toparticipate. Ho was present, however,to witness the crash, and when themachine fell w» one of the earliest to

arrive on the seen©. He saw his brotherremoved from the machine to the track.A motor ambulance conveyed the bodiceto the mortaarr.

An eyewitness of the accident declaresthat the machine climbed gracefully andpowerful!v to a height of 3000fU, and thenswung to a vertical position with onewing dipping. It then began to spinslowly downwards nose to earth.

The spectators first thought Sir RossSmith was " stunting," in order to testhis wings, but the speed of the spinningaccelerated and it soon became apparentthat the machine was beyond control.Finally it crashed 150 yards from theterrified onlookers. No fire broke out. Itwas noticed that the aeroplane remainedNitact until it reached the earth.

Air Council's Tribute.

Si' F. E. Guest, Secretary of State forAir, telegraphed to Sir Keith Smith aafollows: —"On behalf of the Air CoonciJand myself, please aorept our most sincerecondolences in the tragic death ofSir Ross Smith and LiemtenantRennet* on the eve of yourround-the-world flight." Tlie Ministerhas also written to Sir Joseph HighI 'ommissioner for Australia, requesting himto convey to the deceaseds relatives theAir Council's profound sympathy in theiragic accident which killed two distin-guished pioneers of aviation on tho eve of'heir projected world flight, which thecouncil had hoped woald not ody eclipsethe historic flight to Australia, but wouldaJso have been a further forward step inthe linking up by air of many countriesnf the world, as well as different parts ofthe Empire The sudden ending to twosuch promising lives would everywhere befelt as an irreparable loss.

The Air Ministry will hold an inquiryin a few days.

The Engine Suils.

Fifteen hundred employees from theVickers works witnessed tha fatal flight.A member of Vickers' testing staff said:" I ascended in another machine accom-panied by cinematographers, who werephotographing Sir Rota Smith's machine,which is named Tha Vickers.' Whenunder Captain CockerilTs charge she be-haved splendidly. When Sir Ross Smithtook over the machine she had a beautifultake ofi and ran well. Then Sir Ross shutoff his engine and was making for theaerodrome. He pulled her nose up, stalled,

and that is all. She began to spin down-wards from 2000ft., which was not highenough to permit Sir Ross to right hismachine before the crash came. Nobodywill ever know exactly what happened.

Sir Keith Smith was overcome with griefwhen he saw the crash, and flung himselfacross his brother's body.

REGRET IN AMERICA.

LOSS OF GREAT AIRMAN.Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.

(Becd. 11 p.m.) NEW YORK. April 14.The New York Times, commenting upon

the death of Sir Ross Smith, says he was

a greater man than Sir John Alcock. Bothmen were noted for coolness and dexterity,

vet each man in an unaccountable waylost control of their machine, which on

occasion befalls the most resourceful pilot.The New York World calls the death

of Sir Rofs Smith a tragedy of unusualfMefulness even for aviation.

The Herald savs it is the irony of theair that it lets a flier do things seeminglyimpossible, and then killed him whenattempting a trifle.

Sir John Alcock crashed in his aeronlaner:ear Rouen in December. 1919, and diedf:'nm hi? injuries. He had a record

an airman, and with Sir A. Wliittenlir r'wn flew from Newfoundland to Ire-land. therebv winning the £IO,OOO prizefor the first flight across the Atlantic, theprize being given by Lord Northcliffethrough the London Daily Mail.

DEAD AIRMAN'S AMBITION.

FLIGHT ROUND WORLD.

ELABORATE PLANS MADE.AustrvuL and N.Z Cable Association.

Olecd. 1150 p.m.) LONDON, April 12.In in interview with the Daily Tele-

graph w.or to his last tragic flight, SirP*oss Smith said he would start his flightround the world on Anzac Day, 25,accompanied by Sir Keith Smith andI.ieutenajit J. M. Bennett, on a Yickers-Viking amphibian. The aircraft was madeby the same workmen as the Vickers-Vimy'ised in the flight to Australia. Themachine was of boat-like construction, sur-mounted by a biplane, with a 450 horse-power Napier engine, mounted high be-tween the wingc The driving propeller,F as behind the wii'gs It had been testedfor endurance in various temperatures, andhad been expoeed for long periods to'Emersion in salt water. The landingwheels could be lowered in 90 seconds. Afeature of the machine was the tail skids,

■which also acted as a water rudder, filledwith compressed air under a pressure of2501b,

The airmen intended to breakfast beforestarting every day, and have a light lunchduring their seven hours' flight withdinner in the evening. It was expectedthat the journey would take 240 flyinghours, and that it would be finished inthree months. The airmen were confidentand were looking forward cheerfully totheir arduous experience. The route wasto have been to France, Italy, Egypt,Mesopotamia, India, Burma, China, Japan,the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, the Cana-dian Lakes, New York, St. John's, theAzores, and Home.

The equipment included a Reid controlindicator, which informed the pilot whenthe machine was listing by means of glowlamps which oould be used in a log. Thewireless set had been tested to and fromthe Eiffel Tower. The aerial, which wasbetween the wings for receiving, wasdropped for sending messages. A oerUinnumber of spare parts were to have beencarried. A spare engine was available atTokio. It would have taken 120 flyinghours to reach Tokio, but Sir Ross Smithhoped that the first engine would oarryhim to Borden, Canada. Forty-sevenpetrol depots had been organised. Eachairman had one suit of clothes and 81b.°f luggage. They would have been ableto smoke, thanks to a special cigaretteholder on the principle of the Davy lamp.

GREAT FLIGHT BECALLED.ENGLAND TO AUSTRALIA.Sir Ross Macphereon Smith, M.C..

D.S.C., A.F.C t was one of the mostbrilliant of the aviators Australia hasgiven to the Empire. It wa« after theirsensational flight from England to Aus-tralia toward the end of 1919 that theKing conferred upon the two brothersknighthoods of the Order of the BritishEmpire, whilo tbe two mechanics whoaccompanied them, Sergeant James Mal-lett Bennett (who has also met his deathin the present accident) and SergeantWalter Henry Shiers, both of the Aus-tralian Air Force, were granted bars totheir Air Force Medal.

On the groat flight to Australia theadventurers left England on November12, 1919, and arrived at Port Darwin

on December 10. Thoy made stays enroute at the following places:—Lyons,Pisa, Rome, Taranto, Cairo, Damascus,Ramadie, Basra, Bandai Abbas, Karachi,Delhi, Allahabad, Calcutta,, Akyab, Ran-goon, Bankok, Singora, Singapore, Kalid-jatti, and Timor.

Many difficulties had to be overcome,and the party had some exciting ad-ventures before they finally won through.The weather ar, times was rough, and thelack of suitable landing places also gavemuch trouble. For instance, during atemporary halt at Soarabaya the machinesank to the axles, and it was necessaryto obtain the assistance of the localengineer 200 coolies to got it outagain. By much digging and the nseof long planks and baniDoo mats thiswas accomplished. In order to take offagain a road of bamboo mats had to bebuilt 300yds. in length. A start wasthen made, but the machine again be-came bogged, and it was only aftermuch patient labour that the journeywas finally resumed.

Much trouble was experienced, too,through having only one machine andusing it throughout the voyage. Pass-ing through such varying climate-! causedstresses and strains and very heavywork in adjustment*. One ofmechanics summed up his views on thejourney as a whole by saying he wouldnot do it again for £IOO,OOO.

The lairmem received an enthusiasticwelcome in Australia, and their subse-quent knighthood caused lively satisfac-tion.

EMPIRE SETTLEMENT.

BRITAIN AND DOMINIONS.

CO-OPERATION PROPOSALS.

"COMPLETE REVOLUTION."By Taleznok—.Prees A.sociation—Copyright. j

(Received S-5 p.m.)

Reutor, LONDON, April 12.The Empire Settlement Bill provides for

co-operation with the Governments of theIDominions or approved private organisa-tions in agreed schemes jointly assistingsuitable persona to settle in the Domin-ions. The State contribution to any schemeis not to exceed half the expenses of thescheme, and the expenditure under theAct is not to exceed £1,500,000 the firstyear and £3,000,000 in any subsequentyear.

The Premier of Western Australia, SirJames Mitchell, interviewed by a represen-tative of the Australian and New ZealandPress Association, commended the BritishEmigration Bill. He said it would enablethe Dominions to secure a large inflow ofmigrants than would otherwise have beenfinancially possible. Referring to theclause providing that the aggregate Im-perial expenditure shall not exceed£1,500,000 in the first year, and then£3,000,000 yearly, he expressed tie opinionthat tie termu were not merely generous,but of the most extreme importance, apartfrom the amount, because if Parliamentapproved of them it would establish forthe first time in British history the prin-ciple of British financial co-operation inmigration. He pointed out that tlie Billcommitted Government to 15 years'payments, aggregating over £40,000,000,which was much greater than the mostoptimistic could have anticipated.

The parts of the Bill which appealedmast to Sir James Mitchell were, fLrat, theprovision for ImperiaJl financial assistancewider development of land settlement,schemes for migrants' passages, initialassistance for migrants, and special train-ing for intending migrants; secondly, theauthorisation of financial co-operation withapproved private organisations either inthe United Kingdom or in the Dominionsengaged in promoting settlement overseas.Sir James said he interpreted this to meanthat private organisations proposing, forinstance, to settle North-West Australiaunder Government anspioee would beenabled to participate in joint Western Aus-tralian and Imperial finanriaJ support. Thisprobably would stimulate enterprise, parti-cularly in connection with cotton andtobacco prowin<r and fisheries.

Mr. Percy Hunter, Commonwealth direc-tor of emigration in London, in an inter-view, said the Bill marked a dramaticchange in the British attitude towardsettlement in the Dominions. It meantthat Britain became a partner with theDominions in schemes for moving peoplefrom over-populated Britain to the under-populated Dominions. The Bill differedfrom all previous proposals by tho fact thatwhereas they were post-war settlementprojects, this proposed to establish a per-manent principle equally applicable to oi-servioe men and civilians. '' It is a com-plete revolution of idea and probably isdestined to change the future of the Bri-tish Empire," he said. Mr. Hunter added:"As fa.r as Australia is concerned, thePrime Minister has approved the mainplan, and also has given sanction to someof the schemes in detail. Theie are moreto follow, and we are ready to beginimmediately."

AUSTRALIAN SCHEME.

SHARE OF INTEREST ON LOANS.To assist immigration the Imperial Gov-

ernment has intormed the CommonwealthMinistry that it is prepared to pay oiie-third of the interest on loans floated tofinance settlement in Australia. The Com-monwealth requested that a loan of£50,000,000, spread over a period of years,should be raised, but, the Imperial Gov-ernment, although not agreeing to thisamount, did not state how much moneyshould be obtained.

In making this announcement last weekthe Prime Minister (Mr. W. M. Hughes)exDressed pleasure at the decision of theImperial Government to co-operato withthe Commonwealth in a scheme of immi-gration along the lines that he had sub-mitted for consideration. " Shortly put,Mr. Hughes said, " the scheme was thattho British Government should join withus in obtaining a loan, and should payhalt' the interest over a period of, say,five years. The British Government re-plied that while not prepared to pay half,it was willing to pay one-third of theinterest. Although it is, under the; exigen-cies of the present financial aituation,unable to agree to the amount which Isuggested—namely, £50,000,000, which, ofcourse, extended over a term of five years—it hopes to be able to co-operate withus on a. scale sufficiently large to enableus to deal with the scheme which hasalready been agreed upon between thePremier of Western Australia (Sir JamesMitchell) and the Commonwealth.

"Under this scheme many thousands ofimmigrants are to he settled upon Crownlands It is in the development of theselands that the British Government is pre-pared to co-operate. Under the proposalas it now stands, the British Government,the CommonweaJth Government, and thoState upon whose Crown lands the moneysare to be spent shall each pay one-thirdof the interest." At present the co-operation of the Bri-

tish Government will be confined to thedevelopment of the West Australianscheme. If other States, however, are pre-pared to advance similar proposals,namelv, of making available suitableCrown lands, and giving guarantees ofemployment for the immigrant* for aperiod of not less than 12 months beforethev take up their blocks, they will beable to come under this great Imperialco-operative enterprise."

Mr Huches added that he felt satisfiedthat as a result of this co-operation therewould be a great and ever-increasingstream of immigrant* from Great Britainto Australia. " Some time ago I expresseddisappointment at the rate at which inuni-fronts were coming into this country,Mr. Hi'-'beß concluded. "and I am glad

i to sav that a verv considerable imnrove-ment has taken nlaee. In Februarv, Maroh.and April of this year the number ofimmigrants who have arrived, or are ex-pected to arrive, amount to nearly 100per cent, more than the monthly averagesdwine the year ended February 28 last."

SENTENCED TO DEATH.

WELSH MURDER CASE.

MOST REMARKABLE TRIAL.

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE,By T«l»sr*pk—Pre« AstocUtion—Copyright

(Received £.5 p.n.)

A. and N.Z. LONDON, April 18.

Sentence of death has been passed onH. R. Armstrong, a Welsh solicitor, ona charge of murdering his wife, who diedin February, 1921, from poisoning byarsenic.

Medical experts who gave evidence fo»the defence expressed the opinion thatMrs. Armstrong died from the effects ofa big dose of arsenic taken six days be-fore her death.

Mr. Curtis Bennett, in his final speechfor tie defence, emphasised that deceasedhas just been released from a mental hos-pital, and suffered from delusions. Therecould be no doubt she committed suicide.

Mr. Justice Darling, in summing up,said the case was probably the most re-markable in living memory. He empha-sised the value of circumstantial evidenceprovided it was good. Regarding the sug-gestion that the woman committed sui-cide, he asked the jury to consider if shewould have said just before she died, "Iam not going to die, am I?" if she hadtakon arsenic herself.

The jury was away three-quarters of anhour. When they returned, Armstrongreplied that he had nothing further to say.He stood rigidly at attention while theJudge said he agreed with the verdict,and passed sentence. Armstrong went tothe cells without aid, preserving the samecool and collected demeanour which heexhibited during bis long cross-examina-tion.

Notice of appeal was given.

The Australian and New ZealandPress Association representative at Genoastates that the first commission, whichdeals with the Russian question, will notmeet until Saturday at the request ofth« Russians, who have not completedtheir study of the expert's report. TheRussians have submitted a voluminousdocument dealing with currency andanother on the cost of armies. Thechairman reminded them that while theywere entitled to refer to the effect ofarmies ypon budgets they must not dealwith disarmament.

M„ R-akowaky. a Russian delegate,prosented highly optimistic views to thefinancial sub-committee on the Soviets'financial position, which created surprisein the face of reports of the Soviets'fantastic circulation of paper money. Hedeclared that Russia since 1920 had re-duoed her army from 5,000,000 to1,000,000. M.

port. Any member may introduce to thesittings, for advisor)' purposes, a repre-sentative of unrepresented States. Thejealousies are principally among ex-enemyminor States, who complain that they arenot represented.

The Reparations Commission has repliedto the German Chanoellor's communication.It declares that the reply of the GormanGovernment, refusing to impose taxationor pay reparations other than by foreignloan, is tantamount to a refusal to makeany serious effort to provide foreign cur-rencies for reparations. As regards the re-fusal to accept fiscal control, the commis-sion says it sees nothing in its letter ofMarch 21 to justify the disquietude of theGerman Government, If the attitudeadopted in the Chancellor's Note is per-sisted in further discussion is impossible.If by May 31 the reforms demanded arenot carried out the necessary sanctionswill bo considered.

ATTITUDE OF FRANCE.NO MALICE TOWARD GERMANY

Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.(Reod. 5.6 p.m.) LONDON, April 13.

The chief French delegate at Genoa, M.Barthou, addressing British and Americanjournalists, disclaimed any desire to blockthe conference. He had no love for Ger-many, but bore them no malice if theGermans were present at the conferencewith a whole-souled desire to advance theeconomic reconstruction of Europe. Headmitted that he disliked M. Tchitcherin'sinitial speech, but since meeting him thesub-committee had conceived a better im-pression. France had no desire to workadversely to her Allies. The relations be-tween England and France might some-times be likened to those of a husband andwife who suspected each other's fidelity.He desired to impress upon England andAmerica that France would do her utmostto help the conference to achieve success.

A MILITARY HOLIDAY.

THE BRITISH VIEWPOINT.Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.

(Reed. 6.5. T>.m) LONDON. April 13.

The Genoa correspondent of the DailyChronicle states that Mr. Lloyd Georgeintends at the earliest possible moment topropose a pact that no nation shall attackanother, thus abolishing the possibility offighting for a term of years. Acceptanceofthe proposal would make the conferenceone of the most memorable in the world'shistory.

The Australian and New Zealand PressAssociation's representative at Genoastates that rumours are current that Ger-many is raising reparation questions. Acompetent authority declares that the state-ment is entirely without foundation, asalso is the statement that Mr. Lloyd

George contemplates moving at to-mor-row's meeting of the first gub-committeefor a military holiday, The British viewis to allow the committee to follow alongthe linos of the decisions at Cannes, and

that if the proposition that the nationsshould guarantee not to attack each otherfor a given period ia adopted it is notnecessary to specify a military holiday.

Australian delegates will act on sub-committees as advisers to the British dele-gates whenever matters affecting the Com-

monwealth are discussed.

RAW MATERIALS MONOPOLY

ITALY MAY RAISE ISSUE.Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.

(Reed. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, April 15.One of the leading Genoa mercantile

papers hints that on the Economic Com-

mission Italy may raise a question regard-ing monopoly in raw materials, renewing

the efforts Signor Tittoni made at thefirst session of the League of Nations tohave the question reviewed. It thereforeis necessary that overseas producers shouldhave their interests closely watched, es-

pecially as they possess no direct repre-sentation on sub-committees.

A report on monopolies in raw materialswas presented to the Council of the,League of Nations by Signor fittom in;October, 1920. Explaining his proposals,;in a communication to the press, Signor,Tittoni suggested that soci:J peace andinternational solidarity alike required that (

the countries and organisations which have

at their disposal raw materials such as.coal, petrol, iron, and fertilisers, should |share those materials fairly with less for-tunate countries. He had asked the Coun-cil to approve a principle and made nopretence himself at producing a solution.If a result was to be reached, it mustbe an agreement between all States. Al-though the League of Nations itself could |not impose a solution, anytaing that, itsaid would have great force. The econo-mic dependence of one country on anotherfor raw materials meant essential political,dependence. The principle underlying his jproposal was that the price of products.must not be increased for export, and thatat all costs economic war must beavoided. ,

Signor Tittoni brought the matter be-fore the Assemblv of the League in Genoain November, 1920, when, accordingthe Times' report, 'he said that as peaceor war depended on the economic ques-|tion raw materials were of primary lm-jportance. The economic relatiors betweenthe States were more unjust and unequal :than before the war. If reprisals were

possible for the smaller States a fresheconomic war would be inevitable. TheStates monopolising raw materials and asrich as, or richer than before the war,jshould waive t'neir nstionai egotism, |

No further reference was made to theproposal, and it was dismissed in the jTimes' review of the Assembly s proceed-1ings with the observation that Signor Tit-toni " failed to bring off his scheme forthe distribution oj raw materials."

The members of the deputation sup-

C' id their claims by placing bofore thee Minister and the Minister for Lands

a number of balance-sheets prepared bysoldi or settlers and covering 12 months'operations. Most of the Balance-sheetsshowed that the farms were being workedat a loss, after allowance had been madefor all outgoings and for the maintenanceof the settlera and thai? families.

Oases of Hardship.One man was farming 32 acres with a

carrying caparity of 22 cows. The gross in-come was £260, and rent, interest, andrunning expenses absorbed about £220,leaving £4O to oovor living expenses fora year. Another man had received £303and spent £260 without allowing forhousehold expenditure.

Mr. Guthrie said he noticed a good manyof the itemA in the baJanee-sheeta werenon-recurring, or would disappear in a fewyears' time. They included repaymentsof principal and purchase of stock. Therewas scarcely a farmer who was makinganv money at the present time, and somemen had been absolutely ruined by theslump. But tho men who were able tohold on would be all right in time.

Government's AssistanceThe soldier settlers ought not to forget

that they were in a bettor position thanordinary farmers since they had thebacking of the Government. Ministershad (riven an absolute assurance that menwho were " tryers " would be supported.Rente were being postponed for one year,two years, or even three years withoutinterest, and tie money oould bo paid bysmall instalments or even added to thecapitalisation at the end of the term ofpostponement. The Government in casesof real necessity would be prepared tomake remissions at the eod of the term.

The law provided that revaluation couldnot take place until the men had beeuthree years on the sections. Hie settlers

; would nave a right to revaluation then,bat it would not be reasonable to give

| it now, since conditions were uncertain andabnormal

"Hciliing to rear.""I do not think you have anything to'fear," said the Minister. " You say that

you want to be free from the anxiety ofpostponed rent. I can give yon my sasnr-anoe that you need not have any fear. Itis lucky for the returned soldiers that theyhave the Government for a landlord. Weare making every concession wo possiblycan, compatible with our duty as mem-bers of the Government. So long as youare ' tryers ' we will stick to you."

The Minister added that it was notreasonable to aek for remission of rent atthe present time.

The Prime Minister said he was verysorry to hear that there were some menwho could not make ends meet, but thesame might be said of many settlers whowere no% soldiers. He had been over agreat deal of country during recent weeks,and he had been glad to find that the num-ber of returned soldiers tmable to make ft

living on their holdings was very smalLNorth Auckland Difficulties-

Continuing, he said he had seen thatthere were difficulties North of Aucklandand aomefthing would have to be done formen who had been placed on land thatwas not particularly good and that re-quired a great deal of working before itbecame productive. It was all nonsensefor people to suggest that the Govern-ment bad bought large areas of land atmore than its value. He was convincedthat if the Government were able to putall the land on the market now, in spiteof the slump, it would get its money back.Too much might have been paid for oneor two properties, but these cases wereexceptional. Most of the land bought forthe soldiers wa very good value for themoney." The eases of soldier settlers will have

to be dealt with individually," added thePrime Minister. "If a good case is madeout the Government will do what is right.In the meantime do not be discouraged.We have had slumps in the past, but wehave not had one for 25 yearß, and ageneration has grown up that does notknow what a slump is. Do not be dis-couraged. I have not the slightest fearfor the man who have had experience, andeven the men who have not had experiencewill pull through if they have the neces-sary ccraraee and grit. I was one of manyfarmers who went through a worse timethan this years a£o. Every man who stuckto the land then is right to-day. You menwill look back 10 years henoe and be gladthat you stuck to your land and made asuccess of it. T believe that the result orthe soldier settlement scheme will be toadd thousands to tho successful farmers ofNew Zealand."

APPEAL FOR WORK.

THE DISABLED SOLDIER,

DEPUTATION TO MINISTERS.

SYMPATHETIC RECEPTION.[BY TELEOBAPH.—PHEBS ASSOCIATION.]

WELLINGTON. Thursday.'A deputation of returned soldiers to-

day waited on the Prime Minister urgingthe Government to take immediate stepsto assist those returned men who are outof employment. About 30 members of th«deputation were men who were withoutwork. The Ministers present at the inter-view weare the Bona. J. G. Coatee (PublicWorks), G. J. Anderson (Labour), andD. H, Guthrie (Minister in Charge of theRepatriation Department).

The deputaticn was introduced by Mr.Q. Mitcholl, M.P., who said three classesof men were represented:—(l) Crippledmon; (2) thoee incapable of doing otherthan light work, and (3) men fit forheavy work. The Prime Minister hadpreviously received a deputation headedoy General Russell in reference to dis-abled men, and it was thought that thesewould have been placcd in work by now.Unfortunately thoy had not all been

£laced and some of them were in veryid circumstances. Mr. Mitchell urged

that the Government should find employ-ment for crippled men in some Govern-ment departments. Tho City Council hadbeen approachod but had done nothing,and the speaker did not think it oould domuch. Returned men out of work weredoubting the patriotism of the peoplewhen they couJd not find employment.About 200 returned men were out of workin Wollington at present,

Mr. A. Fair said the R.S.A. reoognisedthat tho Government had done a gooddeal for returned men, and had fittedthem back into jobs where that had beenpossible. Speaking of disabled men, Mr.Fair said that a certain number of singlemen were receiving pensions sufficient tokeep the wolf from the door, and marriedmen wore receiving ponsions only suffi-cient to enable them to buy food. Butit was not a question of pension. Whatwas wanted for tho mon was work. Agreat deal had been done by the PublicService Commissioner in helping returnedmen, bnt the speaker was thinking par-ticularly of tho Post and Telegraph De-partment and the Railway Department,which did not come undar the commis-sioner. and which might bo able to dosometning for soldiers. They did notwant to displace any men, bnt if it cameto a question of dismissing one person tomake room for two partially disabledmen. then it should be dona.

Mr. Coates said he wonld communicatewith the various departments under hischarge, asking what proportion of themen they could absorb. They wanted togive the men a chance right away.

Mr. Anderson said that an endeavourwas being made to employ as many par-tially incapacitated men as possible.

The Prime Minister reminded the depu-tation that the seirvices of a great manypeople in the Public Service had beendispensed with, and an endeavour wasbeing made to keep married men em-ployed. There was no use in whiningabout the task, which was unpleasant,but the expenditure of the country hadto be brought within its income, whichwas not the easiest thing in the worldto do. They could not torn out marriedmen with families, even for returned sol-diers. The Government was doing thebest it could in the circumstances, andevery Minister would do the best hecould to find employment for the unem-!>loyed returned men. He had not theeast doubt that something satisfactory

would be done.

COMING GAME SEASON.

GOOD SHOOTING EXPECTEDDiscussing the coming shooting season,

which opens on May 1 next, Mr. H. H.Ostler, the now ly-elected president of theAuckland Acclimatisation Society, saidthat it was generally anticipated that,although there wero a great number ofducks in evidence, the wet season wouldresr't In the birds being spread over alarge area, and that the bags were morelikely to be made in the swamps than inthe lakes. It seemed to have been anexceedingly good season for quail as largecoveys were to be seen everywhere, whuepheasants should be plentiful, the societyhaving turned out nearly 1000 of thesebirds in the district this year, and these,added to those liberated in previousseasons, should provide good sport.

He mentioned that sportsioen should bereminded that they cannot shoot importedor native game without first taking buta license. He was of opinion that thetime had arrived when every person whotook advantage of the facilities for shoot-in" in the country should contribute somesmall amount toward the propagation andprotection of game. The cost of thelicense, he said, was within the means ofall, even of boys, and no true sport shouldobject to payin- this small contribution.

FRUITERER'S FAILURE.

TE AWAMUTU BANKRUPTCY/A meeting of creditors in the bank-

rupt estate of Evelyn Moltien and JessieIngham, two sisters trading as fruiterersat Te Awamutu under the title of E.and J. Ingham, was held in the officialassignee's office on Thursday, theassignee Mr. W. 8. Fisher, presiding.

The schedule showed tho bankrupt'sliabilities to be £429 3s Id. Of thisamount the indebtedness to unsecuredcreditors was £565 8s 7d, and those tosecured creditors £63 15s 6d. The assets,including shop fittings, stock in trade,and cash in hand and in the bank, wereestimated at £l3O 19s 3d, leaving adeficiency of £298 3s lOd. Bankrupts, intheir written statement, attributed tneirfailure to lack of know'&dge of the fruitbusiness and to fire and sickness. Whenthey took over the business they bor-rowed £l7O from their father, £2O ofwhich represented their cash account inthe bank when they commenced opera-tions. Tho balance, £l5O, was whatthey paid for the business.

Evelyn Moltzen said they had been inbusiness since 1916. They repaid themoney borrowed from hor lather in twoyears. She could give the creditors noidea as to the position of the business atany time sinoe it started. Increasedrent and wages and a lack of knowledgeof costing fruit had been responsible fortheir failure. The depression had in ameasure contributed to the bankruptcy.

The creditors decided that the assigneeBe empowered to wind up the estate asquickly as possible.

BRISK EASTER TRADE.

OOUNTRY BUYING BETTER.

FARMERS MORE OPTIMISTIC.

j QUALITY GOODS SOUGHT.i The Easter trade in .the city retaili shops was entirely satisfactory, the cash

! takings in all the large establishmentsl eclipsing those of last year, when a record

, was established.I. Drapery merchants, who were seen late

> on Thursday evening, 6aid that for thejpast few weeks the city trade had been

I surprisingly good, while the oountry trade,I done through the mail order departments," had picked up to a considerable extent.

A few months ago the country sales were1 adversely affected by the drop in prices' lor primary products and the consequent1 restriction in the farmers' income, but the' healthier tono now evident in the mar-* keta had enablod the country dwellers to

1 resume their norma] buying. One retailer> gave it oa his opinion that although the• farmers might not yet be getting the

benefit of the improved prices, thebrighter prospects of the future had madethem more opt.imistic, and had to someextent removed the necessity for conserv-ing their resonrcea.

The discrimination on the part of shop-pers, noted during the recent Christmas

Year season, was again evidentduring this week, the better-class goodsbeing sought after. The management ofone establishment said that the draperswere now carrying goods of a betterquality than ever before, and this wasmost marked in the ladies' department.

The trade done by the fancy goods andjewellery establishments was stated to besomewhat better than in other years atthis season, although it would naturallynot compare with the sales made duringlast Christmas and New Year, when the

K' -ng of presents was responsible for ae volume of business.

The larger grocery Bhops found thetrade during tho few days immediatelyprior to Good EYidav unusually heavy.Traders considered this due to the factthat, as the larger shops had now decidedto close from Thursday evening to nextTuesday morning, householders were lay-ing in stores, and there was no doubtthat in nearly every case the family'sneeds for the Easter season had beenover-estimated rather than under-esti-mated.

EASTER CELEBRATIONS.

YESTERDAY'S SERVICES.

THE COMING PROGRAMME.Although Good Friday cannot be re-

garded as a day of holiday-making inthe ordinary sense, many people make it aday of outdoor recreation, and to such theovercast and rainy weather yesterday came

|as a keen disappointment. The weatherI in the morning was dull and threatening,.and heavy rain fell during the afternoon,'causing the general observance of the dayto be even quieter than usual. Fewpeople, other than church-goers and thoseon their way to boat or train were abroad,and the absonoe of the electric cars in thostreets made Auckland a glace of unusualpeaoe and quietness.

Special services were held in many ofthe churches; matins and devotions wereconducted at St Mary's Cathedral bythe Rev. H. A Sk'elton, and a lanternservice was given in St. Mary's Hall byCanon Percival James in the evening.Similar services were held at St. Paul's,while an evening mission service, in addi-tion to morning and afternoon devotions,was conducted at the Church of HolySepulchre by the Rev. E. Gordon Bell.

Given fair weather, the holiday events1 will start to-day in earnest. Chief amongthe outdoor fixtures is the opening of the

I Auckland Racing Cluh'e Autumn Meetingat Ellerslie. The cricket tournament forthe Walker Shield which was stopped earlyyesterday, owing to the rain, will be con-tinued at the Domain, and the annualcricket match between the Auckland Uni-versity College and the Victoria College,Wellington, will be commenced at EdenPark. The annual Easter tournament of theAuckland Bowling Centre will be con-tinued on the' various groens, and theAuckland provincial golf championshipmating and handicap tournament willopen at the Middlemore links. The inter-univeraity tennis championships will com-mence at the Onehunga Club's courts, andin the evening the debating contest willtake place in the Town Hall concertchamber. Sports meetings will be heldat Te Kuiti, Huntly, Thames, and Cam-bridge, and the Waiheke regatta will takeplaco at Cowes Bay. The Royal NewZealand Yacht Squadron will hold a racefor the 14ft. one-design class on the har-bour this morning.

On Monday the Racing Club's meetingwill be continued at Ellerslie, The crickettournament, the bowling tournament, thegolf championships, and the univorsitytennis championships will also be resumed.Athletic sports will be held at Piopio,Putaruru, Papakura and Mariwai Beach,and the university boxing contests will beheld in the Town Hall in the evening.

HOLIDAY TRAVELLERS.

ALL EXPRESSES CROWDED.

7000 CARRIED IN TWO DAYS.The number of travellers by rail on

Thursday and yesterday, both to andfrom Auckland, was very large. This wasdoubtless due to tho excursion fares,which commenced on Tuesday. On Thurs-day the 9.12 a.m. outward Thames ex-

j press comprised 16 carriages and carried'6OO passengers; the 10 a.m. express forRotorua had 14 carriages and there were350 passengers; while the 1 p.m. MainTrunk cxpross for Wellington had a totalof 300 passengers. The inward Thamesand Rotorua expresses each brought over500 people, and tho afternoon Main

. Trunk express brought 500. Twotrains were despatched to WellingtonJon Thursday evening, both being

' filled by long-distance passengers, themajority of whom were booked right

] through. It is estimated that over 1000people travelled by these trains, includ-ing 200 Maoris bound for Ratana, whereth« "native healer" of that name is hold-ing meetings. A train to PalmorstonNorth was gent away at 8.40 p.ro., andthis, too, was well patronised, over 200people travelling by it from Auckland.

Notwithstanding the unfavourableweather yesterday, all the trains leavingAuckland carried large crowds of people.The 9.12 a.m. express, bound forThames, took between 600 and 700, themajority of whom were booked throughto Hamilton and Te Aroha, and the 10a.m. express for Rotorua took 500. Asimilar number was carried by the 1 p.m.Main Trunk express for Wellington. Theinward traffic experienced on Thursdaywas easily maintained yesterday, and onthe figures already recorded it is con-sidered that the bookings during theEaster vacation this year will be qniteequal to those registered for the corres-ponding period last year. The totalnumber of people travelling to and fromAuckland by rail during the past twodayg was between 7000 and 8000. Thefigures (to-day and on Monday shouldshow a considerable increase on thosefor the past two days on account of theAuckland Racing Club's meeting takingplace at Ellerslie.

ROAD BEFORE RAILWAY.

CONNECTION WITH WAIPU.

COUNCIL OPPOSES LINE.

A NON-PAYING PROPOSITION.[by tbligbaph-own correspondent.]

WHANGABEI. Thuredfty.Important action was taken by tie

Whangaroi County Oouacil at to-day'Bmeeting regarding the proposed branch ofrailway connecting Waipu with the mainline at Oakleigh. The chairman, Mr. W.Jonta, moved that a petition be preparedwhich be proposed to have submitted tothe residents of Waipu, and, if supported,forwarded to the Government. As chair-man of tie County Council he was ofopinion that the proposed railway mightnot be a sound proposition. He had neverregarded it as sound, and the position wasaggravated by the increase in motor traffiaIn hi* own mind he had no doubt what-ever that the road would render far bettorservice than the railway. The latter wasestimated to cost £161,000. Two roade,one to Waipu and another from Ruak&kaJunction to Marsden Point could be builtfor £4c;jTO, and if the railway was aban-doned, he thought the Government prob-ably would put through both roads. Itwould pay to make the roads. A branchline would involve heavy loss. Interest onthe estimated cost was equal to £46 aday, with another £l6 every day the linewas running. The loss on the Waipubranch would be especially heavy, and theservice irregular and inconvenient.

The proposed petition urged the Govern-ment to abandpn the proposed Waipu rail-way in favour of a metalled road as themore serviceable in the interests of the dis-tricts of Waipu and Ruakaka, and the Do-minion as a whole. The chief groundswere that a abort branch railway cannotcompete successfully with motor transport;that the needs of tne districts an tot suffi-cient to warrant a regular tr«n .service,(one small scow or steamer i/j now hand-ling the whole of the goods trade ofWaipu district); that a train service toWaipu would not carry thmgh-peseeogersto Auckland, as the Maungaturoto stationis only one hour's motor run from Waipu,while to join the Main Trunk at Oak-leigh by rail would involve abottt threehours; that » good road would be moreeconomical and result in a saving to theDominion of probably £100,000; that fin-ally tho whole passenger and trade ser-vice of Waipu and district would be insuffi-cient to pay working expenses and main-tain a reasonable service.

Mr. Webb seconded the proposal, and amotion to inaugurate a pkition was un-animously carried.

Mr. Mclnnes said the Prime Minister, atWaipu, recently asked a meeting whetherthey would have a road or railway, and alarge majority voted for the railway. E'ethought Mr. Massey should have made thechoice for them, put the case strongly b*vfore the meeting, promising a road, anddefinitely rejecting a railway.

The chairman, allnding to the same'meeting, added that no reasonable mancould say the vote at that gathering waaa fair indication of public feeling.

PAPAROA VALLEY.

FLAG STATION PROPOSED.

PROTEST FROM SETTLERS.[bt tkliqraph—own correspondent.]

PAPAROA, Thursday.The Public Works Department is pro-

ceeding with the erection of a flag stationat Paparoa Valley. Strong feeling hasbeen aroused among the settlers, who con-sider the importance of the district andthe large volume of trade now going tothe railway from Paparoa, Matakohe, andother districts, including Wairoa centres,justifies the claim for an officered stationwith a fall stafl.

A meeting of settlers decided to launcha petition for signature in the western dis-tricte of Otamatea County and Wairoa, re-spectfully urging the Minister for Railwaysto grant an officered station. If a flagstation only te provided the settlers &verthe wide area mentioned will have to useMareretu or Maungaturoto as the mainstations.

NEW HOSPITALS.

TAURANGA AND TE PUKE.[BX TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

TAUKANQA, Thursday.The Health Department has advised

the Tauranga Hospital Board that theminimum cost of the new maternity hos-pital at Te Puke will be £BOOO. The boardhas agreed to the proposal.

Hie department also wrote stating thatit fully recognised that the provision of anew hospital at Tauranga was of urgentimportance, but considered the presentsito too small, bearing in mind the possiblefuture requirements of Tauranga and dis-trict. Before definitely deciding to buildon the ground now available, the boardshould consider very carefully the possi-bility of procuring another' and moresuitable site at Tauranga. The site shouldbe from twenty to twenty-five acres inextent.

After discussion the board decided to in-vito tenders for 25 acres of land nearTanranga, suitable as a sito for a hospital.

HOSPITAL FEES RAISED.

NEW RATES AT TAURANGA.[BI TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

TAURANGA, Thursday.The Tauranga Hospital Board has de-

cided to raise the fees for patients in thehospital to nine shillings per day, withhalf fees for children under 12 years;also that the fees for maternity cases benot increased, but that the departmentbeasked whether it considers thiy should beraised.

ACTION BY WAIKATO BOARD.[BY TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

HAMILTON. Thursday.In a letter read at a meeting of the

Waikato Hospital Board to-day the De-partment of Public Health recommendedin conformity with the Hospital Commis-sion's suggestion that the fees should beraised to 9s a day, with areduction to halfprice for children under 12 years.

In this connection Mr. Johnstone movedthat the scale be retained at 6s a day.An amendment was moved by Mr.Dickenson that the fee be raised to 9s aday with a reduction to half price forchildren, which he thought was littleonough for the services rendered.

This view was supported bj Mr.Ryburn, who said the board haj alwaysbeen ready to consider a reduction innecessitous cases,

The amendment waa carried.

GREY HAIRS DISAPPEAR.There is 110 reason why any man or

woman, whether young or old. should havegn;y hair. Simply go to your chemist,hairdresser, or store and get a 3s 6d bottleof Donnelly's Grey Hair Tonic (No. 1 ifyour hair is dry, No. 2 if oily). Apply dailyas directed, and very soon those grey hairswill disappear.

COST OF EDUCATION.f STINTING" OPPOSED.

REPLY BY THE MINISTER.[BT TBLECBArH—OWN COEM3TOHDENT.]

CHKISTCHURCH, Thursday.Some of the meetings of householders

last night passed motions suggested bythe New Zealand Educational Instituteprotesting against any stinting in regardto educational expenditure. The Hon.

C. J. Parr, Minister for Education, saidto-daj hardly fc&ow what theymean by 'stint.' At present the in-,

atitute, representing the teachers, cer-tainly has nothing to oomplain of Inrespect of ualivries. Id the public schoolsin 1914 salaries amounted to £697,478.This year I believe they will reach a

total of £1,730,000. During the pasttwo or three years they have increasedby half a million. I regret I had to

take back £BO,OOO of that ut. the recentcut, but I hope it will be only tem-porary and that the sum cut will berestored when good times comt ag.iin.

''No Government has done morefor the teaching profession than thepresent one in regard to emoluments andstatus. The legislation of the past ten

years, in fact, has made teaching a

Dominion service instead of merely alocal or board service. It is possible nowtor the best man to get a position atthe top of the profession.

"The total expenditure on education in1914 was £1,412,372. This year it will

reach £3,500,000, oven with the depart-mental economies. 1 believe the cost ofeducation in New Zealand per head ofpopulation is as high as, if not higherthan, any other part of the Empire ex-cept the City of London, where it runsto £l9. Many people think too much isbeing spent oa education in New Zea-land.

"I am strongly opposed to anyeconomy in vital or essential services.Certain things that are merely desirablyand excresences that have grown up willbe lopped off, hut true education willnot suffer by the cut.

"As to building," said the Minister,"the Government during the paat twoyears has spent and granted frr build-tngs nearly £1,000,000. Hard timesmerely have halted the building pro-gramme, The Government will start itagain aa soon as finances are easier. Itis unreasonable to expect much qxpenditure on new buildings when the coun-try is up against hard times. Nineeducation boards have furnished mewith their building wants. To meetthem it would mean iui expenditure ofclose on £2,000,000, which is out of thequestion at present. The Government tothe best of its resources, however, willprovide schools 5n places where thereare no schools, and will make necessaryextensions to meet overcrowding,

"Reverting to the teachers, I may addthat the Government's contributions totheir pensions last year was £45,000. Theactuaries have just furnished me witha report, which I shall submit to theCabinet in a few days, to the effect thatin order to make the fund perfectlysound the Government's contributionsmust Be £6B 000. The teachers' contri-butions, I think, are about £65,000 or£70,000."

The information against Dr. Liston isthat at Auckland on March 17, 1922, in Ithe presence of a large audienco of people, iat the Grand Irish Concert, held in the jTown Hall, be uttered the following sediti- jous words or words to like effect, being .sr. indictable offence " Friends of Ire- jland, it us very fitting that 1 should be :spiking to vou this night as my deeoent jand the rant I hold 111 the church give ;ne the right to speak. My parents were jdriven from the country in which they jwere born, and in which they would havebeer, content to live. Why were theydriven out' Because their foreign;masters" (meaning the Government of the 1United Kingdom), " did not want Irish jmen and women peopling their own land, ;

but wanted to use it as a cattle ranch for |

the snobs of the Empire. So my father 1and mv little Irish mother and thousandsof others had to go. Thev came to this 1country with the memory kept sacred of,their privations and wrongs. They have jleft to us the sacred traditions of their jsorrow. I am a native of New Zealand, jand I love my country very well. In jevery land the children of Ireland this jday "are gathered by some common and'holy impulse to rejoice that at long last ■thev have won some measure of freedom, 1and' to hope for a complete deliverancefrom the house of bondage. A yearwe lived in hope only, and some good andtrue mem thought that hope very forlorn.I do not say for one moment that Irelandhas got all she asked for and all that her |sons di*<l for, but she has got the firstinstalment of her freedom, and is deter- jmined to have the whole of it. I say that;because tie omnipotent hand of God madeIreland a nation, and while grass growsand water flows the.ro will be plenty toight. and even die. that God's desires maybe realised. On the *tage of the world'shistorv Ireland has played many a part.Her sons have given the best of theirtalents to the countries which have re-ceived them. Above all. Ireland has beena builder of an Empire, not for self, butfor others, not for filthy lucre, bat forGod's cause, honour and freedom. Manyare thinking that the difficulties in thefare of the Irish Free State are almostinsuperable. I think that the well-wishers ;should not be dismayed. Ireland has gone Ithrough the worst of her trials. She has :repeatedlv been declared dead and done for ,and completely disserted, hut she is still ,there. There are difficulties ahead, but jwhv should we fear them' TTiere is a,mightv Empire, and it still claims to be Jth? greatest one. It also has its difficul- |tips and its rulers' hope to overcome these 1difficulties. If they hope to do this, why 'should not the mien of our little Empirebe able to meet their difficulties? It seemsto me providential that when Ireland isfaced with difficulties the man who hascarried us so far and enabled us to win iis there to see that the rulers are not'duped bv England. We must not forget Itho martvrs who died in the fiehting in j1916, that glorious Faster" (referring to Ithe insurrection in Dublin on April 24, |1916, and succeeding days). "I have here ja list of 155 men and women who were jproud to die for their country. Some :were shot, some were hung, and;some died on hunger _ strike—-murdered by foreign troops" (mean-

ing thereby the soldiers of the Brit-ish Empire). "We cannot forget thesemen and women, but in order that ourdream about Ireland may come true, and ;while we cannot forget, we can forgive.Mv last thought is that we should say to 1Ireland, as she enters a period of renewedprosperity a nd ?lory—God prosper vou inall wavs and pretext vou and His everlast-ing arms enfold you."

she'said, was the deficiency of bme and,p'/iofphales in the food. To obtain the,requisite supply in our crops, the sr.ilshould be amply provided pwHymineral fertilisers.

SPRINGBOK CABLEGRAM

dismissal of official.

AN UNSUCCESSFUL APPEAL.

BOARD DISCUSSES CASE.[bt telegraph.—press association.)

WELLINGTON. Thursday.The Post and Telegraph Board of Appeal

has dismissed the appeal of J. T. Evansagainst his dismissal for a breach of theregulations, committed at Napier, in con-nection with the publication of tho cable-gram commenting on the match against theSpringboks. TTie judgment stresses regu-lation 129, which makes it an offence, withliability to dismissal, for officers to divulgethe contents of a telegram to one another,unless for some purpose connected with itstransmission.

Three officers not only discussed to-gether the content* of the cablegram, butwere parties to a copy being made, saysthe boaj-d. They wore therefore all clearlyliable to dismissal. Two of the officersadmitted the offence without formal in-quiry, and expressed regret. The secre-tary of the department, after considera-tion of the circumstances, decided to rein-state them, and imposed a fine of £lO oneach. As to the appellanL, he made noadmission. His offence was inquired intoby a magistrate, who found he had com-mitted an offence. The secretary dis-missed him. Tho other two officers, it isclear from the evidence, were certainly notintentional parties to Ihe informationgoing outside the office. They were frankand truthful witnesses. The appellant, onthe other hand, consistently refused to giveinformation, and expressed no rogrel foran admitted breach of the regulation. Theresponsibility for the contents of the tele-gram becoming known outside the officelay with the thre« officers. Evidence wasgiven that appellant possessed a copy, andshowed it to his brother. His generalattitude throughout the inquiry, his re-ticence throughout from the beginning ofthe investigations, his failure to be frankas to his part in the matter, as the othertwo officers have been, and the impressionhe gives as a witness, leave his positionwith reference to the whole affair in anextremely unsatisfactory state. In thecase of the other officers, their breach ofthe regulation was due to uncontrolledyouthful enthusiasm. The appellant's atti-tude throughout the inquiries in connec-tion with the matter, and before the board,has not put the board or secretary in aposition to conclude that his breach of theregulation could be so explained. Theboard therefore is of opinion that thesecretary was justified in coming to theconclusion that the appellant could nolonger give satisfactroy service to thedepartment.

WORKING COAL AND IRON.

ACTIVITY IN NELSON.

INVESTIGATION BY MINISTER.Some interesting information regarding

mineral development in the Nelson dis-trict was given to a Wellington reporterbv the Minister for Mines, Hon. G. J.Anderson. During a visit to the districtthe Minister saw a great deal of whatprivate enterprise is doing in that partof New Zealand. The Minister said thatone ol his purposes in visiting the Nelsondistrict was to inspect the work that hadbeen done on the Parapara iron deposits.A lease covering these deposits was inexistence, but there had been no develop-ment for a considerable time, probablyon account of the war and the difficultiesthat arose after the war. There un-doubtedly wag a great deal of iron atParapara. and it was sure to be workedsome day. In the meantime matters con-nected with the lease had to be con-sidered.

At Onahaka, about three miles fromParapara, on th« Nelson side, continuedthe Minister, a New Zealand company hadexpended a considerable sum of money onthe erection of plant for the treatmentof iron ore. He visited the' spot and |found the works to be in an advanced jstage. The company had erected a fur'- !nac« capable of turning out 100 tons ofpig-iron per week. This furnace was com-plete, and the engineer hoped to have itin operation before Easter. The ore and jlimestone were found on a hillside, and jwere being conveyed to the furnace in the jvalley by an aerial tramway. The ore jwas considered to be easily reducible, and ;the plant had been so constructed that a Iminimum of handling would be required.Labour-saving applianoes had been intro-duce<j wherever possible.

Commendable Enterprise."The company intends to erect coking

ovens so that the coke required for thefurnace can be produced on the spot fromNew Zealand coal," said the Minister.The manager, who is an expert, is verysanguine that the proposition will be acommercial success and that the companywill be able to supply a first-c'ass grade jof pig-iron in quantities that wIC meet therequirements of New Zealand for someyears to come. The enterprise that hasbeen displayed in the erection of these \works with private capital is very com*mendable and the venture deserves suc-cess.

After visiting Onahaka, the Ministerproceeded to Collmgwood and Puponga.There are two coalmines at Puponga.One of them is being operated by a co-operative party, which acquired the oldSeaforth mine," and is arranging to spenda considerable sum of money in devejop-mont. The other is the North Cape coal-mine, which was closed down for sometime, but has now been reopened, and isproducing coal. The proprietors of bothmines assured the Minister that they ex-pected to be able to supply a coal suit-able for the requirements of the Nelsonprovince at a reasonable price.

The Port of- Takaka.

The Takaka people are also anxious toimprove their port, and they interviewedthe Minister on the subject. The pig-ironwill come out through Takaka. Theproposals of the County Council have beenreferred to the engineers of the MarineDepartment. A considrable quantity ofmarble of the finer qualities is beingshipped through Takaka. and the men in-terested in the marble quarries are hope-ful of being able to increase their output.

At Nelson the Minister visited a coal-mine which was worked some 20 yearsago. and had then an output of severalthousand tons of coal. The mine took firoand was closed. It is now heing reopenedbv a co-operative party, who have sunka winze for 1OOft.. and have struck coal,which is said to be of a good householdquality.

EXPORT BEEF SUBSIDY.

AUSTRALIAN SCHEME.

COSTS TO BE REDUCED.

CONTROL BOARD PROPOSED.An announcement that tJie Australian

Government would pay a subsidy of |da pound cm exported beef, on certainconditions, was made last week by ih«Prune Minister, Mr. W. M. Hughes. Hesaid the Ministry had come to the con-clusion that the position was such as towarrant assistance by the Government. Itwould be hardly an exaggeration to saythat tiie cattle-men of Queenslandbelieved tho present position of the in-dustry to be dcsporat«. Prices offered forboof for export now fell short of the costof production. It was an extraordinary,but nevertheless undeniable, fact thatwhile literally tens of millions of peoplewere on the verge of starvation one ofthe staple articles of food could not finda market. Thero was another factoraffecting the beef industry which had tobe considered. The most powerful combination in the world dominated the saleand distribution of beef in Great Britain,and in iho greater part of the EuropeanmaricoU This competition had been oflato most active. It had many advantagesbesides those of organisation and the un-limited capital that supported it. It wascomparatively near to the great market*of wie worla, and Australia was remote.It also controlled to a large extent thedistributing agencies. Much "f the stocksof beof held by the British Government,v, thfl result of its war contracts, werestill unconsumed, thus adding anotherfactor which depressed the Australasianmarket, particularly by preventing theabsorption of fresh betf." That this position threatens the de-

struction of one of the greatest primaryindustries of Australia is beyond ques-tion," Mr. Hughes declared. "In thocircumstances I have been in close touchwith the representatives of Queenslandcattls-men, and with the representativesof meat exporters in the soutn, and, hav-ing endeavoured to review all the facts,have come to the following conclusionsregarding the conditions under which theCommonwealth Government is preparedto assist the cattle industry" (1) All sections of the industry to

co-operate in measures necessary to meetthe situation." (2) Workers to acccpt a reduction

of wages equivalent to the decrease in thocost of living, thus leaving the standardof living unaffected.

" (3) Meat works to reduce chargesfor treatment, the reduction to be equalto one-eighth of a penny over and abovethe lessened cost of treatment due toreduction in wages, or, alternatively, thomeat works to give an extra price to thegrower equivalent to such reductions inwages and treatment." (4) Onlv standard meat properly

prepared to be exported. The Common-wealth officers are to be supported by theindustry in carrying this into effect." (5) A meat board, composed of

representatives of the industry, to beappointed to safeguard its interests andarrange for supervision, and, as far aspossible, for control. Statutory powersare to be given to the board by the Statelaws." (6) Competent Representatives of the

industry are to be selected by the growersto be sent forthwith to Britain to safe-guard its interests and to develop trade.Similar action is to be taken in the East." (7) An effective propaganda is to bo

carried on to popularise Australian meatand combat influences of rival suppliers.

(8) A reduction to be made in beeffreights of a lb.

"Subject to these conditions being ac-cepted, the Commonwealth Governmentwill:

"(1) Endeavour to clear old stocks ofAustralian meat in London.

"These conditions," Mr. Hughes con-cluded, "apply particularly to Queens-land. Where they are inapplicable toother States the matter can be adjustedby separate negotiations. I have beeninformed authoritatively that in the caseof Victoria, for example, the meat ex-porters are preparod to guarantee thatthey will treat beef, and put it on boardat a price not exceeding Id a lb. Thewages in Queensland in the meat indus-try are much higher than in the southernStates The price at which they are pre-pared to do the work in Victoria is |d alb. less than those set out in the condi-tions for Queensland. Therefore the re-quest made by the Commonwealth is notimpossible. The Federal Ministry willnot have representatives on the meatboard."

LIMITATION TO BEEF.

EXTENSION IF NECESSARY.A. »tui N Z. SYDNEY, April 13-

I The Prime Minister, Mr. W, M. Hughee,informed representatives of the meat in-dustry that the meat subsidy did notinclude mutton. Action had been takenin regard to beef only because the in-dustry was in extremis. The same couldnot be said of the shoep-raising industry.If, however, the sheep industry got in

extremis, he would be prepared to considergranting a subsidy.

ENTERTAINMENTS.

"MERRIE ENGLAND."A rollicking tale of the days of good

Queen Bess, told to the accompanimentof entrancing music; a frolic within thepurlieus of old Windsor Caetle, in anatmosphere wholly and delightfullyBritish; a touch of witchcraft, and amodicum of history; the quaint inter-mingling of court ladies and gallantswith rustic maidens and lusty foresters

in May Day revelries and Morris dan-ces ; ghosts of the Elizabethan periodmaterialised again in the virgin Queenherself, Sir Walter Raleigh and theEarl of Eeßex, with whispers of WillShakespeare. Robin Hood, and Hemethe hunter—such are some of thocharacteristics and characters foundassembled in "Merrie England, thechaxming light opera with which |heJ. C. Williamson newly-organised GILberl and Sullivan Company commenceda limited season of operatic offerings on

Thursday evening at His Majesty sTheatre before a large and well pleasedaudience.

,

Combed by Edward German andwritten by Basil Wood, • Fobablytwo decades ago, "Merrie Englandseems a little old-fashioned in com-

l>anson with the more modern musicalplay. It is none the less a welcomechange from jazz tunes and syncopatedairs, and, while not disclosing the in-

spiration of the works of Gil-bert and Sullivan, it has oneor two outstanding qualities, thochief of which is its musical score. Thisis replete with melodious numbers, of ahigh artistic standard, many of them be-ing worked up to effective and evenrousing climaxes. Most of tho unusuallynumerous choruses are distinctly fine, andthere are solos and concerted numbers—-operatic, sentimental, dramatic, andpatriotic—which steep the senses in

melody, and the workmanlike orches-tration of which creates unstintedadmiration. The composer at times re-

veals the influence of Sullivan, notablyin the beautiful madrigal-like"Love is Meant to Make Us Glad. Hismore original work is also, in the main,of an alluring description. In theauthor's share of the opera there aretraces of near-Gilbertian wit in lyric anddialogue, though the latter is oouched inaltogether freer style, and more fre-quently invades the realms of burlesque,than is the case with Gilbert's works-The libretto is on the whole diverting,and with its blend of comedy and drama,it well maintains the interest.

The strongest member of the cast in

the production under notice is Mr.Howett-Worster, a baritone singer newto Auckland, and possessing uncommonvocal gifts. In UlO role of tho Earl ofEssex his musical and resonant voice is

heard in several fine songs and concertednieces, perhaps his best effort being in

the stirring solo, "The Yeomen of Eng-land," the effeot of which, sung with anexceptional chorus, is to aroUße en-thusiastic applause- The tenor of thecompany is Mr. Charles Mettam, also a

newcomer, whose style of singing ispleasing, though his voice is ratherforced at times. Some very strikingsolos fall to his lot in the part ofRaleigh as well as duets with the prin-cipal soprano, the latter numbers beingof a particularly enticing nature, notably,'lt Is the Merry Month of May." MisePatti Russell imbues the role of BessieThrockmorton with charm, and sings in

thoroughly delightful fashion. In SheHad a Letter from Her Love," and "VV hoShall Say that Love is Cruel T" , M' ssRussell has two striking solos, which sherenders most sympathetically, and she isalso excellent 'in her concerted work.Miss Byrl Walker makes a fascinatingwitch, and sings most agreeably. MissGrace Crottv as May Queen is a littleover-burdened. Miss Ethel Morrisongives a convincing portrayal of QueenElizabeth her dramatic moments ringingtrue and hor general demeanour beingadmirable. Mr. Charles H. Workman isdrolly humorous as an old actor ofShakespeare's company, and is secondedin the comedy of the piece by Mr. VictorPrince. Miss Eileen Dunn is the gracefuldanseuse of the oombination, and theremaining parts have capable exponents.There is an effective orchestraunder Mr. Gustave S'appofski. "MerrieEngland" will be repeated thisevening and each evening next weekuntil Friday, when there will be a changeof programme.

" OVER THE HILT.."The picture which both entertains ant

edifies is worthy of popularity, and whenin addition, such a production touches th«tenderest chords of the heart it deserves ;

niche to iteolf in the annals of motionpicturedom. "Over tie Hill, to b<screened at the Princess Theatre for «

limited season commencing to day, has th<combined qualities referred to. Its mair.theme would move a very cynic to tears;ito human note is bo infinitely true, sin-cere, and sweetly wholesome, that on«would ne«d to be unnatnraJ to disregardits appeal. As a lesson in filial duty, andan exposition of mother love divine it iaan epic that deserves to live in the memo-ries of all who witness it. William Fox,the producer of this adaptation of WillOarleton's poem, " Over the Hill to thePoorhouse," in dedicating his beautifuldrama of real life to all the mothers andfathers in the world, might well have ex-tended that dedication to all the sons anddaughters too. A private screening ofthis great heart-searching film showed itto be all that it is claimcd to be. Itsassault upon the emotions is irresistibleand sweeping, and it has delightful inter-ludes of homely humour, which enable thespectator to enjoy abundant laughter, theinfluenoe of which does not in one degreedestroy or nullify the elevating effect olthe pathos which dominates andhumanises the plot. The camera has sel-dom, if ever, recorded a finer, more faithful, or more moving a piece of actingthan that of Mary Carr as the mother—MaBenton. Her achievement is a note-worthy one, It has its foundation in thefact that she does not appear to be actiryg,at all, but just to have stepped into t)i<apicture with her own four children (whohave important parts) and to portray I ler-self. The resultant naturalness and sim-plicity of interpretation has given W, thfscreen a veritable gem of characterisation,which ranks with the greatest portrayalsof the stape. The story tells of Ha Ben-ton's devotion to her family, howshe slaves for her children, sacrifi eee her-self to their interests, and is finally al-lowed by them to drift to the poorhouseover the. hill—allowed to do « >, that is,bv all save the boy who has been lookedupon afl the 11 black sheep of the family.How fine this scapegrace really is, and thegrea' jov he brings to his ffiother in theend, constitute the threads ( of the themewhich have tho strongest 'humanity andtruth in them. It would require a stoicto resist the emotional scene, for in-stance, of this boy's reunion with hismother at a moment when she has beenleft to toil in the workb ouse. This is thesupreme crisis and clinrax in a photo-playwhich would melt a h«»rt of ice. Picture-goers should on no .'iccount fail to wit-ness it. The Princess orchestra providesmost suitable and j greeable music.

NEW LYP.IC THEATRE.Another Big V our super feature will

be screened for a season at the NewLyric Theatre commencing this after-noon at the 'matinee. Many picturepatrons will bio delighted to know thatit is to be g Mary Pickford attraction,"Pollyanna," ;/n which the charming andwinsome star is said to give one of thebest portrayals of her career. Patronswill, it is claimed, be enticed by theplayful tyirmour 0f the famous screenactress, in contrast with her delicatenotes of, pathos. Mature minds are ex-pected 'to discover in the theme a sug-gestion for their own life-quest of happi-ness—/Jiat sweetness of personality is thegoldflfn rule of personal conduct. It hasbeen said that, because of Mary Pick-fork's truthful interpretation of thisten/jer motif, "Pollyanna," as adapted toth/j silver sheet is bound to far ont-roaoh the influence of "Pollyanna" asprinted. It is also anticipated that itwill be much more extensively enjoyed

|as a story. Mary Pickford will be seenas a very young girl, radiant with thebeautiful glamour of pure childhood,

TIVOLI THEATRE.Numerous picture patrons are still

finding it impossible to gain admissionto tie Tivoli Theatre at the eveningsessions, while the matinees are dailycrowded. The attraction is the CecilB. de Mill® production, "The Affairs ofAnatol," one of the most lavishly stagedand costumed photo-plays of recent times.It is interpreted by a cast whioh in-cludes many star actors and actressee,among whom ire Wallace Reid, ElKottDexter, Theodore Roberts, Monte Blue,Gloria Swanson, Wanda Hawley, AgnesAvres and Bebe Daniels. These stellarartists are grouped in a story which ismany sided and always interesting. Itranges from fantastic comedy to teneodrama, and the scenes are ever-changing and highly spectacular. Owingto the emphatic success of the film ithas been decided to continue its run fora limited number of days and nightsi)«it week, in order to afford oppor-tunities of witnessing it to those whohave so far been disappointed in thai,respect.

ETTA FIELD RECITAL.Tha second recital by Miss Etta Field

was riven at the Town Hall on Thursdayevening, and was in every way an ar-tistic success. The programme was awell chosen one, each item serving toproclaim the particular gifts of thebrilliant soprano in such a manner thatrecalls were numerous during the even-ing. The singing of Puccini's "One FineDay," from Madame Butterfly, was asterling example of the recitative styleof operatic singing, in which the cleairappealing . tones of the voice were em-ployed to much advantage. Grieg'snThe Swan," and Roger's "The Star,"were musical miniatures of great in-terest, while Elgar's expressive song,"Pleading," was finely phrased. Mon-tague Phillips' "Sing. Joyous Bird,' 1 re-presented the ecstatic mood, and wasgiven with much buoyancy of style. By'special request the aria "Farewell to MyHome," from Catalina's "La Wklly." wassung, while the programme also in-eluded those conspicuous, successesMascheroni's "Ave Maria," and "To theAngels" (Zardo), sung to ''Accompanimenton the grand organ by Mr. MaughanBarnett, who also contributed artisticorgan solos during the evening.

ATHLETICS.

INTER-UNIVERSITY SPORTS.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.The athletic worts in connection with the

inter-university tournament, opewntf inAuckland to-day, will be held on theDom«n on Tuesday, when the leading re-presentatives of Auckland, Wellington, Can-terbury uid Otaeo will enter into competi-tion in the various events. Several lof thebest amateur athletes in New Zealand willcompote, Md, with fine weather and fasttracks, sound performances are certain tobe registerea. particularly in the flatevents, for which the select of the fourcompeting colleges will be seen at theirbeet.

On present form, Auckland and Welling-ton should win the majority of the flatevents, with Canterbury prominent, whiloOtago will probably be seen to the bestadvantage in the field events. In thelOOyda lnter-university championship, L. A-Tracey (Wellington), the present c-oampion,

'should retain his title- He has been per-forming eioeedingly well in Wellington,whew he was credited with 10s for thelOOyds, when he deflated Wilson in the Wel-lington championships. His most dangerousopponent will be J- Perry, of Auckland,who is at present running in good form, andwon the 100yds in the inter-faculty contestin 10 2-ss. Porritt, of Otago, and White-head, of Wellington, should run well in thisevent, but are not likely to out-pace thechampion*.

The 220yds is another event which shouldproduce a fine oontest between TTacey andPerry. The former is the present champion,having won the event last year in 23 4-38,and he should again be qual to the task,with the Auckland representative in closeattendance. Miller of Auckland, won theevent at the inter-faculty sports in 33 2-ss.He will have to better this time to win atthe inter-university meeting, but may beexpected to run prominently.

The 440y<k should produce a good racabetween Tracey and M. Grierson, of Auck-land. Tracey is the present champion andon present form should retain the title. Asa guide to possibilities, Tracey won the440yds championship at Wellington in 535.and Grieron ran toe distance in Aucklandrecently in 53 4-ss, but waa not extetided andmight Easily have improved on the time.Elliott, who ran seoond to Grierson, s'aouldrun prominently in the" quarter."

The half-mile should be a good victory forM. Grierson, who won the race last year m2m Ss and at the inter-faculty sports lastweek did 2m 5 2-ss. R. O. Page, the Can-terbury representative, who has been run-ning in fine form thin season, will probablygive the Auckland balf-miler a good runfor first place. The mile and three milesevents should go to R. M. Webber, theAuckland mile and Anstralasian three-milechampion, who is running well this season,and whose effort in the long distance eventat the inter-faculty meeting was a soundone, in 15m 435. H. E. Moore, of Welling-ton, the New Zealand ornse-oountry cham-pion, is likely to give the Auckland repre-sentative a good run. W. Vallance, ofAuckland, who is something of a stayej.should run well in tho mile and three mileevents. The prospects of the 120yds hurdlesaro bright for Canterbury, whose representa-tive is W H. Buckhnrst, the present NewZealand champion, w'ao s-on the champion-ship event this :ieason in 16 2-5«. A.Jackson, 0/ Wellington, the present Univer-sity champion, is jikelv to extend Buckhnrstand a good race is anticipated between thepair. The 440vds hurdles will probably goto Jackson, the present champion, withMalfroy, of Canterbury, in close attend-ance, and M. Flynn, of Auckland, a possiblepoint winner.

For the field events one may look hope-fully to W. J. Perry winning the broadjump. The New Zealand champion, whodid 22ft, 7}in. in the championships, shouldwin the inter-University championshipeasily. That Perry is at present in goodform is shown by the fact that he jumped31ft 7in. at the inter-faculty sports.Buckhnrst, of Canterbury, is a goodjumper, and another sound performeris Jackson, of Wellington, who will jumpwell, even if h« does not win.Tho hieh jump will probably be foughtout between F. S. Lintott, of Auckland,and Buckhurßt, of Canterbury, with theAuckland representative a possible winner.Kingston, of Otago the shot-putting andhammer-throwing champion, will defendhis titles, and is certain to make goodefforts to retain them. N. McLean, ofAuckland, is a good performer with thehammer, and may be expected to showlis best in the inter-university tournament.

The mile walk is open, and should provean interesting event with H. Wily, of Auck-land, showing up prominently against therepresentatives of Wellington, Canterbury,and Otago.

The prospects of winning the championshipshield appear to lie between Auckland andWellington, with the educes slightly infavour of the latter, but the home team iscertain to make a bold bid for the trophy.

• UNDER LEAGUE RULES.

8 DELEGATES FROM AUSTRALIA.9 The Now South Wales Rugby League re-

presentatives. Messrs. L. Dargan, iv it.

i Craig, and W. Kelly, have arrived fromSydney, to confer with the New Zealand .

. Council and the affiliated Leagues regard-- ing the state of the game in New Zealand.- i Mr. Craig is a member of the Management[ Committee of the New South Wales Rugby

League. As a footballer he has won hon-I ours both in Rugby and League. Unders Rugby Union rulee he toured Greai .Britain. ; will the Wallabies in 1908. flaying for• ! the League he represented New South Wales

• , in 1910, and in 1911 toured Greai Britainwith the Australasian team, and wa« a

. member of the New South Wales team; i which toured New Zealand in 1913.

i | Mr. Dargan has been a member of thei i Management Committee of the

i : Wales League since 1917, and he has hadlong experience and association with the

i j game of football, both as a player andI administrator. , . .

~ ..

. I Mr Kelly .is the chairaan of the NewSouth Wales Rugby League Judiciary Com-

, mittee, and has Men connected for a longI time with the controlling body.

, The visiting delegates met the Councilof the New Zealand League on Wednesday

i evening, when there was a general exchangeof views, , , .

i In an interview. Mr. Dargan stated thatr the League was the only code of footballi that mattered very much in Australia, so' far as public patronage was concerned, loey

t i wanted to see if similar conditions could, |be bronght about in Auckland. The .Rugby

i 1 Union game was firmly established in New. ! Zealand, just as fiQnly as ever it was, and

I I they were not here in any spirit of antason-I ism to the Union, but to advance their

1 1 own code, particularly with reference tof | matches between Australia and New Zea-

-5 jan d. Mr Dargan pointed out that League' football was started in New Zealand before

it was played in Australia, and instead• of advancing here it had gone frack. Every• team that had been sent from New Zealand

3 ! to Australia included men of fine physique,• but the showing they fhade was not to their' credit. The club games in Sydney provided

} ' better football, and the delegates were h*re1 ' to inquire into the matter with a view to

1 assisting the code in New Zealand. Mr.® Dargan stated that it was intended to send

an Australian team, practically the sameas that which visited England last year,to New Zealand at the latter end of the

r season.

It ie auite possiblethat the doughty pair may measure stridesin tho Autumn Stakes (one mile and a-half)to-day, but the All-aged Stakes (one mile),

ivbich is set down for decision on Wednes-day. may also be an event to bring them to-gether to try conclusions., In the event oi

In* k conditions being favourable and Beau-ford and Eurythmio both at their best, avery fast eight furlonga may be safely antioi-paled.

WORLD'S RICHEST DERBY.When the Australian Jockev Club decided

on the prize of the A.J.C. Derby of1 j-2'2 to £IOOO. which gave that event chiefdistinction, it was thought the committeeof thai body would rest content for ft timobo far as that event was concerned. Not »o,

however. They decided recently to add £?000'.c the Derby of 19'23, and. with i 1600 aliotiedto- the second horse, £BOO for the third, andi'3i>o to the breeder of the winner, it will beseen that the mailer h»s been dealt with in» manner that will serve to give the A.J.C-a great advertisement over a wide area.

LEAVES'FROM MY NOTEBOOK.Silver l.:nk pulled up lam* after exercise

at Ellerslie on Thursday morning, and herwithdrawal from the Easter Handicap wassubsequently posted at the A.R.C. office. Itmay bo assumed that the racing career ofthe bay daughter of Achillea is now near--IEK lla ekwe, ;f it is not now at an end. Attuerslie on Boxing Day last Sliver Linkmade a successful reappearance on the sceneby winning the Railway U&ndicap under 9.0in bri.'.ian» style, but ehe failed to extendher winning record in the interval. Com-mencing at two years old, Silver Link hascontested 56 races, and as she won 17 ofher engagements, and stake money to theextent oi £8760. she made a hanasomo re-turn to the New Plymouth sportsman, Mr.A Alexander, for the SO guineas he expendedin ber purchase when she fell to his bid atAlexandra Park on December 30, 1916.

A good field may be expected to liiie upat the post lor the Groat Northern Cham-pagne Stakes at Ellerslie to-day, for 15youngsters are coloured on the card Thefact of Epitaph not having had a race sinceJanuary 3 adds its quota of uncertainty tothe probable issue, Mr. A. B Williams hask second string to his bow in Rapine, whowri, two good r&coa recently. King sTrumpeter ww responsible for * good per-formance when ho won the Pacific Handicapat Trenlham, for he was timed to run thebix furlongs attached to that race in lm13 4-sa. and W all account*, he won easilv(loin a goo<Mseld. Altogether matters lookbrght for a capital contest eventuating init 4 juvenile race-

Gloiming is down for an engagement onTuesday next in tho C.J C Challenge StakeJ,ami. as be won the Ricc&rton race on twoprevious occasions under tho maximumpenalty, the fact of his being cast in asimilar position for the seven-furlong racethis year will not be taken very seriouslynhen backers come to faco the situation,ivnue fast "words have been connected withihe Challenge Stakes in previous years, andil will be no surprise should tho flying baysucceed next Tuesday afternoon in givinglisteria! for something frwh to be enteredin the slate.

Namutere. the three-year-old son of Bera-joon and Golden Fly. is down for an enpage-■nent to-day in tho Edeu Handicap, in whichrace he has the Jifcndy impost of 73. The;hree races in which N'amutere has come outit the head of the field this season, it is in-teresting to note, have *ll been run over aiistance '.seven furlongs! similar to thatfixed for the Eden Handicap, so that the.ittle bay gelding knows that particular"ourse thoroughly, and, a* he waj creditedwith coniD&scing the distanoe in lm 29sffhen he won the Zealand)* Hsndicap atPakapuna on January 30 last, it will borecognised that he is well entitled to & placein to-day's field.

When Rflyal Box finished a mad escapadeit Ei'.orslie one day in August las', he wasin gucli a pitiable plight that it looked verymuch as though he had settled his careeT asa, racer. The son of Nassau, however, madea remarkable recovery in the hands of Dr.Ring, and proper treatment in tho intervalfinds him at t.lerslie at this stage amongtho active brigade, and what is more, withprospects of playing a part in the settlementot the important events. Roval Box figuresin the Easter Hand'cap ana Eden Handi-cap set down for decision to-day, and he isengaged in the Great Northern St- Legeion Monday.

The authorities of tho Auckland RacingClub strive to make matters run smoothi\in handling the large crowds that attencEiierilio meet-nge. There is one matter utwhxh racegoers can assist in that direction, and that is by presenting the exacamount of admission chargo required foientrance at the turnstiles. It is a hard ancfast rule thai notes will not be changed athese point*, and that litUe fact should becommitted to memory by those who set outo take their pleasures on the A.R-Cground.

With a field of twenty engaged ia th(Brighton Hurdle Race, that event, whiclfigures on to-day's programme at Ellerslieshould bring about a very intereeting ccm.test. Explorer having been withdrawnLuperino now heads tho list. Among th<noteworthy recruits for honours over th<bat tons is Starland (winner of the AucklandCup of 1920), who is called up to carry 11.4Poauui 'lO.lOl has cot contested ft hurdleevent since he ran eeoond to Explorer irthe Auckland Hurdle Race at Elleralie orJanuary 3- Tho Potoa gelding made ft bol<ibid for victory that day in a solidly nit

two miles, and his Qualifications for to-day'irace read nicely. •>

Tfc* Great Northern Oaks, which figure*on today's programme at Ellerslie, will pnNhave a small field. Aureate, the full-sister to Desert Gold, has most to hetcredit, a brace of racee over a mile and a-quarter in 2m 8s being her chief perform'ances. Cleasanta won a good race over amile in the spring in lm 395, and she wasretpcnsible for running a decent nule ando-hal! at Riccnrton when she ran second tcPalestrina in the C.J.C. Oaks-

The Australian Jockey Club Sires' Produce Stakes, which carries an added monejpr.io of £IOCO. in addition to certain eubflcnptione and forfeits, which will r&ifte itto woll over £SOOO. is the most valuable twoyear-old race run in theee part*, and if vh<value does not actually beat, the Englinlrecord for a race of a similar character, rmust lio very closc to it.

A Sydney cablegram to hand states thatthe New Zealand gelding Solfanello suffereda defeat in a six furlongs race at MenangUPark this week. Notwithstanding. Solfanelkfigures among the acceptances for the Don-caster Handicap, in which event ho rules torweight with 9.1.

Egotism, the five-year-old daughter of Dernofitheiie# and Conceit, has failed in all heiengagements this season, but she is widelyticked off to earn early distinction, and may

be, the approaching meeting at Riccartorwill find her repaying for past disappointments. for she is reported to be etridinsalon? in attractive style in her trainingwork.

Thoeoian has reached Ellerslie with a viewto contesting the Great Northern St. LogejThe bay son of Absurd faded out of tntAwarm m Gold Cup when it came to realbusiness. and it must be said that there iflittle encouragement outside his good lookfto view his prospects hopefully in the lon3distance classic event

TheKinz Mark mare Paoanni was paid up foiin the A.R.C. Easter Handicap, but, thoughshe could be voted nicely treated with 7.Sin the unie race, her owner, in summingup the situation, elected to attack Feildinoin preference to Ellerslie. The chestnut marcfignres in the Feilding Cup. the distance olwhich extends to a mile and a-half, and inwhich Paoanui is weighted at 8.2.

With a field of 17 engaged in the AutumnSteeplechase, such may be iccountwl to fur-ther demonstrate that the A.R C Committeetook a happy «t«r> caatms aiflernt con-ditions for the crobs-country racc at thisperiod. Matters look brmht tor a capitalwntert in the race set down for decisionuver the big fences on Monday.

An acceptance of three for tin SockburnHandicap- a £4OO ra<e set down for decisionat the Canterbury Jockey Club's meeting onMondav—must be viewed a« decidedly dis-appointing. The race in Question, it may

be remarked, is limited to horces that at thfI'rne of starting have never won a race olthe vaiuc of £4OO.

The Kokeby gelding Crowhurst, who hasbeen in retirement for several months, made;i reappearance at Ellerslie this week andnrquitted himself nicely in schooling ovethurdles. Tho chestnut is not engaged atthe A.R.C. Autumn Meotin?. but he may beseen out under silk at the Avondale meet-tie.

Stork has failed in all his races sincebe won the Mitehelson Cup in Novembetlust but. all the same, he cad be gWen

for running some good races in thenterval. The Hallowmas gelding figures inhe Prw.ident's Handicap at Ellerslio to-daj

icith 7.1. and he may show up at the finish.Mr. Martin Taylor left for Sydney on

RICCARTON TRAINING NOTES.[BY XKLEQEAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

CHRISTCHURCH, Friday.Mr, G. D. Greenwood holdß a very strong

hand in sevoral events at Riccarton.ceur and Tressayr look like having the C.J C.Champagne Stakes toi themselves, whuo it i«hard to eee how GloaminK la to have anyserious opposition in the Challenge Stakes.I'luto is galloping well, and his Great Easterprospects cannot bo ignored. Hn etable-mate, Egotism, ia a 6trong fancy for theGreat Autumn Handicap, but it is worthnoting that she is in the Autumn Plate onthe first day.

There were seven starters, viz.,Baron .J. Munn), Sportsman iG. WiVotii.Grey Momus (J. Rao), Jonathan Wild (J-Laing), Young Sledmcro (\V. i<ai;on :, na®oid'G. Laingi, and No Name (W. Polleni.

All was excitement as13arou twain approached what was tenned" the trap iump," and, as the Hawke'e Baygelding baulked again, merriment ratlier thanexcitement was the main feature, and whenSportsman also turned his head at the fenceit seemed a» though the rue would have tobo called ofl. liowevor. after much persua-sion and resorting to various devices.Munn scrambled over on Baron, and thathorse practically came in by himself, for.though Sportsxnan was got over the troiible-somo fence, htf did not pass the pout untilseveral minutes after Baron's jockey hadboon weighed in- Various reasons were ad-vanced as to the licrfcs sticking up at thofence and which led to the 'fiasco, but thegenerally-aocepted -view wbs that in racing attho fencc there wAi a slight dip, and thatthe contestants, not 1 being able to sight pro-rerly where they tvould land, that servedto scare them.

From Gisborne comes new fl of the deathof tho stallion Polydamon. who was importedfrom Eruiiand by Mr. J. N. Healop, of Auck-land. At the A.R.C. Summer Meeting of1917 Polydamon managed to win theChristmas Handicap (ono mile) at Ellerslie.and, as ho got over the eieht furlongs onthat occasion in lm 39 2-5s Matters lookedbright lor him to extend hia record, but heproved a perfect failure in all his subse-quent engagements, and it was quite evidentthat he had soured of racing. Got by Poly-melus from the Diamond Jubilee 'maroDanud, Polydamon could boast of a high-class pedigree, and, as he served sevwalGea.sons at tho stud on the Eaet Coast, pos-sibly some of hu descendants will come tolight as winners at a future date.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THE DAIRY INDUSTRY.Sir,—Kindly favour me with sufficient

space for final reply to 8.8. His con-

tention that better methods, making forhigher production, will automatically fol-low improvement in marketing conditions,is not borne out bv past experience. How-over desirable improved marketing con-ditions may be, the benefit is uncertaincompared to the certainty of results at theproduction end. We have still keencompetition to meet in the world s mar-kets, and it is the country that can pro-dure the best article at tne lowest pricethat will survive. G- FrNV-

THE PRICE OF EGGS.Sir,—As a poultry farmer I would liko

to know why the 'great margin betweenthe price stated hv the Ds/iry ProduceCommittee and the retail price of eggs.The former quoted the price of eggs inthe New Zealand Herald, April 6. as2s 4d per dozen for fresh eggs. Yet ci;cs.it auction went as high a> 3s Gd perdozon, and I can quote for a fact that egg?

aro selling retail as high-priced as 3s lOdper dozen. Considering that the poultryfarmer does not profit by autumn eggs, asonlv about a quarter of hi.e fov 's are lav-ing", he is surely entitled to a fair deal.The Dairv Produce Committee certainly donot run a V >l, or they would perhapsgive the poultrv farmer bettertreatment. When eegs are plentiful theprice drops below as we have tocompeto against Asiatic e?..' pulp insteadof tne pulp being made in our own coun-try. Now because the demand for eggsis greater than the supply, the retailerscoops the pool. Disgusted.

SURPLUS POPULATION.Sir,—l read witi profound interest

\our cable report re Britain s surpluspopulation and the remedies suggested,which will not in the least assist in sup-pressing poverty. The caiiso of theCreator's craimand: "Increase and multi-ply " being ignored is that the peoplo arebeing divorced from the soil. How doesthis affect a country? Reviewing Britishhistory we find that about the year 1500the most of the people were employedin farming and agriculture. Previous tothis unemployment was very rare. Undeitie feudal system men settled on smallholdings of about 30 acres, and, so longas they had that amount of landthey had always some work to do.During the 16th' century this simple formof life began to give place lo amore complicated system. The firsttrade or industry that was developedwas the woollen the manufac-ture of clothing. While it extended therewas a system of enclosure going on- Thesmell fanners wore turned out of theirholdings to give bigger farms to sheepfarmers for wool growing. Thus, twothings wore going on simultaneously inBritain. First, men turned off the land;second, woollen and other industriesgrowing. The growth was not, howe\er,rapid enough t-o absorb all who had toleave the land. With this depopulationthere w-as as there is to-day unemploymentwhich made the unemployed rogues,vagabonds, and sturdy beggars. Theproblem of unemployment grew so acutethat in 1587 the first Poor Law Act waspassed. It was unsatisfactory, and in 1601a great Poor Law Act was passed, whichformed the basis of the Poor Law systemuntil Llovd George passed the Unemploy-ment Insurance Act. History revealsthat as long as the bulk of the popula-tion has direct access to the land, no oneneed ever be out of employment, andthere is no menace from the increase inpopulation. The question arises: Howare we to rectify matters? I say with-out hesitation, bring down land values.The time has arrived when we must nothave false remedies; we must do some-thing to bring the land within the graspof the people. We must put an end tothe system whereby the land is retailedby the ounce. Those who will not useit or let others use it on fair ten,.s, taxthem out of it. Then, as Lloyd Gertiesaid at Liverpool on December 21, 1909,"the thaw will set in, and the peopleand children of the people shall enter intothe inheritance that was given them fromon hirh." Wji.

THE BALLOT BOX IN THE SCHOOL.Sir,—Now while educational reform is

being arranged, could not a place befound in the scheme, with profit to ourcommunity, to teach more fully self-government and the proper exercise ofthe vote? Sell-government, and interesttherein, and the proper and careful,selection of men of high character andHow to recognise them are subjects onwhich our ideas seem quitei untrained,and instead of choosing who they willvote for when they have the chancepeople vote as told by seLf-interestedunionists or party leaders. Unionism inits various phases and voting are de-terminiig the destinies of more peopleand countries than we seem to realise,fhe propei' use of trheir power couldsurely be taught a little in our schools.I notico that representatives of all in-terested in secondary education are beingappointed to boards except one for thechildren. Why should they, whose wel-fare, interest and numbers are somuch greater and the eouree ofwhose future lives will depend bomuch on their training, not be repre-sented? onrely the Education Board candepend on the children feeling the benefitsof their system and upholding it by choos-ing a suitable man. Could not severalinspectors willing to act in such a capacitywhom the children will know a bit, sendcircular letters to the schools giving theirintended policy if elected, and the elderchildren be given a lesson on the subjectand vote, the numbers to be sent in bythe teachers. There is no insurmountablereason why such a lesson should not bemade interesting, educative, and ofas great importance to our futurecitizens as giving the absolutelycorrect answers to the improbableintricate problems in teachers' questionbooks. Self-judgment and self-governmentand the feeling of responsibility and beingpart of, and having a share in our coun-try's welfare and government seems to belacking in the clever products of our edu-cational systems, and the need of theirbeing fostered to a greater extent than atpresent has often been commented on byJ.P.'s. magistrates, and Judges. In manyEnglish schools the classes have for manyyears elected by weekly or monthly ballota monitor who has extra responsibilitiesand authority and privileges, and assistsboth teacher and class-mates in variousways.

CITIZENS ..OF AUCKLAND.-The Lord's Day Alliance emphatically

protests against the misuse and desecrationof Easter Sunday by making it the occasionof a commercial excursion down our har-bour.The employment of the Day of Worship

for such a nurposa at any time would bemost deplorable, but the utilisation in thisway of the special day set apart for thecommemoration of the Resurrection of ourSaviour, Jesus Christ, surely should calllorth your righteous indignation.

You are urged to disassociate yourselffrom this dezradation of one of the mostsacred days of tho yew, and to let it beinoyin clearlv that you strongly disapproveif and protect against any such attemptto commercialisc the ds-v civen for rest andworship. t

If you value privileges presoryed for youat great cost by former generations, see to:t that you, in your generation, do not allow(hem to bo snatched from jjour children by'.he commencement of such materialistic ven-tures on the Lord's Day.

The Lord's Day Alliance would appeal tothose who themselves have no religiousicruples. at least to avoid hurting the feel-

of others to whom the day has great""Piritual significance, and not to destroyBe spirit of such a day by encouraging the

LOCAL GOSSIP.BT UrciCTTIOt,

TTiose who take their holidays atEaster sometimes eipw-ag a preference foran early Good Friday, but thy year thedate of ihe festival may prove to be intheir favour. The range of Easter Sundaylies between March 22 and April 25,which means that sooner or later it willcoincide with Anzac Day. Had Easterfallen towards the end of March thisyear, as it did last year, the weatherwould have been very unsettled, whereasnow there is at least a possibility of atine I.as'or, and fine weather in Auckland

at this period of the year means weatherwl.i. his no :her too hot nor too cold, butso. ;ht? and stimulates at the same time.Stxt y(,ir («K.d Friday falls on March30 a:.J L'fter D:iy On April 1.

is the last of tho popular holi-di'■ s of the season. Anzac Day, ourration's h.y day, comes this year aveek ..i'»-r. Km, -e Day and the birth-days oi loyalties provide a few day 3 inMav arid June on which privileged pcr-s■ <! a r d ir.stitutiotis Huse their doors as\M-.i .is tiy iht'r tiacs. but the calendarj r Ji!'> and August is devoid of thei i i\;e «;'h which holidays are appro-j - • \ indicated. A few people con'.live

a :.i; :n September to celebrate Dor. lh-.y. but the many workers,r.i >' and brain, must wait till Octoberand 1... Tv m r Day for the holiday season loku ra up once more on their horizon.

A.« \''ry < fton happens in such circum-st.ui.ts tho spectators seem to bo gettingmere out of tho dispute over butter pricesuan tho tnn'ostanis themselves. AfteriH.iriv a month of strained relations, it is

ivt iloar who is to blame or whatthe tij't is about, but while the twoTartics have been wrangling:, the Londonmarket has fatten again. The "merchantdistributors " in England are no doubtindifferent to threats that are made inAuckland, but it seems very foolish thatthe butter factories did not postpone theirq larrel unt.il the off season. They mightthen have gained the full advantage intheir loc.U bus.ine.ss of the short-lived"boom" in I/mdon, and local consumersu.-u.d have lieen quite willing to pay thehuher Prices. As it is the local consumershive had cheap butter, and whatever theissue of tho dispute, if the dairy farmersa.e satisfied, the townsfolk, will not grudgoti.om their " victory."

Some domestic tragedies were almostprecipitated in Auckland on Saturday lastbv the erratic behaviour of the rainstormwhich swept portions of the city latein the afternoon. When a husbandarrives home late for dinner and pleadsthat he has been sheltering from the raina.nd his wife is able to affirm of hei*personal knowledse that there has beenno rain there are obviously the makingsof a first-class misunderstanding. OnSaturday is was a case for mutual apolo-cies. The rain, which was very heavy inAlt. Eden and other parts of the city, leftTlrrne Bay bone dry, and it was not alittle difficult to convince residents of thatdelectable suburb that people who spokeof having been caught in the rain meantreal wet, non-intoxicating rain.

Some people do too much honour tothe New Zealand Labour Party. Agentleman, by n;jne. A. Yavra,lias returned to California from New Zea-land—so he Bays. He gives a deplorableaccount cf us. The Labour party is inpower here, be says, and it has ruinedus. He waß two months in New Zealand,was this observant gentleman, and homade many trips by motor into the coun-try. out all the time be only saw oneman tilling the soil and that man wasa Maori. Also Mr. Yam, saw twentypounds r.f apparently good beef offeredretail for a shilling. So the Maori musthave been producing something! Alto-gether one is inclined to wonder whetherMr. Yavra had a dream, but he insiststhat he came to New Zealand and thatlie saw Tahiti and Honolulu. That beingso how did he manage to mix up Mr.Massey w th Mr. Holland and what were

our farmers doing when that solitaryMaori was tilling the soil!

The Labour Party is playing an in-teresting game of " general post" with itsParliamentary candidates in the Aucklanddistrict. Its team next December will besubstantia'lv the fame as at the last elec-tion, but onlv the sitting Labour memberswill have the privilege of contesting thesame seats. All the other candidates"move on." Mr. Blood worth, who is bygeneral consent the most capable cham-pion of the Labour Party in Auckland,will not seek e'ection on this occasion.Mr. 0. Me Brine leaves Eden to fill thevacancy at Parnell, Mr. H. G. R. Masoncomes to Eden from Manuka-u. Mr. It.!•'. War transfers his attentions fromAuckland East—which be surrenders toMr T.ee. the by election candidate—toManukan. and Mr. J. Purtell has takenp-ty 011 IV skill, and leaves Thames to itsf;,te. It wou'd be interesting to knowthe reason for all this shuffling, some ofit apparently unnecessary. The other par-ties like to choose a candidate who isknown to his electorate. Is this Labour'smethod of demonstrating the subordina-tion of t-hs individual in the party?

A fortnight of the new financial yearhas passed and nothing has beendone toward the introduction oftho new methods that are to make the rail-xiava pav. Consequently, counting theRs'es at" the rate that has prevailed lat-�rr!v. the department has already gone tothe bad to the extent of £42.000. It willtake rather more than the 20 per cent,jjiirtax on incomes to pav the deficit onih c i year's ojierations, and the longer ourt";iiis are allowed to drift, the smallerhw., ni »s the chance of a reduction of taxa-tion this year. Whatever practical basisis a dented for the promised reforms in themanagement, it mav be conceded for thopi writ tl at there is no occasion to decide'•vhether the railway department shall pa\in'rune-tax. If it'can pay its debts wosLI! be satisfied.

If Mr. W. Arnold, of London, has hisw.iv our holidays will soon be systema-tized. lie has written a pamphlet pro-po<-.r irr that if 'be simple expedient ofrrvikin,' the 565th day belong to no

FESTAL EASTER.SOME QUAiNT OLD CUSTOMS.

BT UATAJfOi,

Easter was born in the long ago amidthe springtime rejoicings of tho old world.The sun s return to power after tho winternaturally infected man with jollity, andApril becamo known by such names asEastermonath and Ostermonat. It was themonth of tho '' rising."

The season gathered also to iUself insome nations quite a religious significance,commemorativo of the deliverance of theJews from Egyptian bondage another"rising "—and these nations describe theseason by names pointing to the JewishPassover and its history. But in tieChristian festival, preceded by davs ofLenten austerity and Good Friday's re-calling of a cruel cross, Easter haj its Imost universal glory as a memorial of re- 'surrection. That hallowing of tho season'sgladness has made it welcome throughoutthe world.

Coming across the globe to our southernFaster has lost its old appropriate-

ness to the time of year. Its springtimeorigin may easily be forgotten, for withus it is ushered in by evening's lengthen-ing shadows, and wo hear it calling ussoon to come indoors the while our fellowsof tbe northern lands aro beckoned intotho milder open. Yet we keep as wellas we may this festival of the sun inpioper fashion, seeking in it a last ba-skingin the sunshine eie the winter sets its mi-prisoning hand upon us.

Dominica Gaudii.

Easter Sunday was for Early Church folkDominica gaudii," a Sunday of joy, and

the native cheerfulness of mortalshas niado ways for its gladnessto characterise tho whole season.Lent has had its fastings and restnotiousoverborne by the oncoming gaieties ofEaster, and even the Friday of our Lord'spassion has been labelled " Uood" intoken of the triumph that Easter confi-dently trumpets. Solemnity is maintainedin parts of Europe still by means of thoexchanged greotings of Eastermorn—-

] " Surreiit' (He is risen). " Yere sur-! rexit" (He is risen indeed); yet the

| inevitable tendency has always been toi abandon care and sorrow for naive glee.

There was in olden times a " risusPaschalis," or Easter smile, a jovialitywhich the clergy strove to incite by re-citing from the pulpit droll stories andlegends. In those times the monks hadtheir games of ball in church, and feastswere served in sacred buildings. Thisexcess eventuaJly killed itself, and somesense of proportion came back to thoseason.

Such clerical gaiety was negligiblyaggressive, however, compared with theenthusiasm of lay jollifications. Easterwas the popular festival above others inmany lands. Compelled to endure restric-tions during Lent, the common folk,one eager bound, gave themselves at Eas-ter to boisterous mirth, in which riotoushorse-play had free indulgence. A cus-tom of the thirteenth century suggeststhat they took quaint vengeance on theclergy for the imposition of Lent's austeri-ties ; then they regarded all clergymenwalking abroad between Easter and Pente-cost as fair game, making them submitto ransom from the crowd's clutches bypayments of some considerable value.So the rough pagan festivities of thespring's return had counter-part in Chris-tian days.

The Festival of the Sun.

It is about the sun. indeed, that mostof the season's peculiar customs havegathered. The oldest and most wide-spread superstition of the season is thabthe sun itself dances in sympathy withhumanity's rejoicing. Suckling's descrip-tion of "The Bride" recalls the notion;

But. oh. she dances &ucb a w»y.No sun upon a.n Easter I>ay

Is half so fine a sight.

This notion was solemnly debated by gravescholars, who disproved it with owl-likewisdom in elaborate arguments. Moreeffective, probably, in refutation was themethod that was used by a writer in"The British Apollo" in 1708: he madethe sun answer for himself. The questionwas propounded thus: 1

Old wives, Phoebus, sayThat on Easter Day

To the music of th' spheres you do cxper;If the fact, sir, be true.Pray let's the cause know,

When you have any room in your paper.

The sun's answer was distinctly a re-tort discourteous:

The old wives get merryWith spiced ale and sherry

On Easter, which makes them romance;And, whilst in a routTheir brains whirl about.

They fancy wo caper and dance.Easier Tuesday Prolics.

This notion of the sun'B leaping hadlong memorial in the " heaving" pastimeof parts of England, not yet entirelyabandoned. On Easter Monday the menlilted the women three times, either in achair or on a seat improvised by joinedwrists, or even less decorously, kissedthem, and then let them go for a mone-tary consideration. On Easter Tuesdayit was the women's turn. The custom isgiven mention in old chronicles. ThereiB a record in a Tower document of anEaster event of the kind in Edward theFirst's time. Seven of Queen Eleonora'sladies unceremoniously invaded Long-shanks' room, and, seizing his most as-tonished majesty, proceeded to heave himin his chair until he bought his libertywith a fine of two pounds apiece paid tothem.

A Shrewsbury heaving is described withpainstaking detail bv a writer in 1799." I was sitting alone last Easter Tues-day," he says, "at breakfast at theTalbot in Shrewsbury, when I was sur-mised b" the entrance of all the femaleservants of the house handing in an arm-chair, lined with white and decorated Iwith ribbons and favours of different :colours. I asked them what they wanted, iTheir answer was, they came to ' heave' ,me. It was the custom of the place on jthat morning, and they hoped I would itake a seat in their chair. It wr as im-possible not to comply with a request 1very modestly made, and to a set of |nymphs in their best apparel, and several ;of them under twenty.

I told them I supposed there, was !a, fee due upon the occasion, and was,answered in the affirmative; and, having |satisfied the damsels iri this respect, ithev withdrew to heave others."

The women's heaving day to usually Ithe more amusing, according to a War- jwicksliire writer of the middle of last cen- [tury. Passing along the street, he had |often seen parties of jolly matrons, sitting |round tables on which were foaming tan-kards. and waiting for victims.

Th era is a stoiy of a grave and in-dubitably reverend clergyman who hap-pened to be passing through a town in jLancashire on an Easter Tuesday, and had jto stay an hour or so at an inn, A groupof lusty women rushed into his room, andto his amazement, declared that they badcome to " lifl " him. "To lift me!" the ,astounded divine cried. "What do you |mean?" "Why, your reverence, we'verome to lift you 'cause it's Easter Tuesday." " Lift me liecauso it's Easter Tues-day! I don't understand you. Is thereany such custom here?" "Yes, to begure: why, don't you know? All uswomen was lifted yesterday, and us liftsthe men to-day in turn. And, in course,it's our rights and duties to lift 'em."After a little further parley, the reverendtraveller succeeded in compromising withhis fair visitors for half-a-crown, andheaved a sigh of relief as thoy departed, j

DREDGING FOR GOLD.

RIMU FLAT OPERATIONS.BY FRANCI9 BOOCAN.

Four Americana arrived in New Zea-land in 1916 and wont to tbo West Coastof the South Island. After prospectingfor a year at Rimu Flat, three miles fromHokitika, they returned whence theycame. To-day the Rimu dredge, tholargest in the southern hemisphere, isworking the ground they covered so care-fully. In testing Rimu Flat £4OOO wasspent, and the ground is turning out justas the tests indicated. The dredge's re-turn for February was 800oz, while thecompany had a record wash up on April

when, for nine days work, the returnwas 5950z. All the gold won is sent toSan Francisco through the National Bank.11l America the standard prioe of gold is

21 dollars 67 cents an ounce. The pricereceived by the company varies, accordingto the exchange. At present it is some-thing like £4 13s an ounce.

The operations of the Rimu dredge arecontrolled from Now York, where thomoney for the great enterprise was raised,and where tho dredge itself was manu-factured by the New York EngineeringCompany. The expenditure on the dredgebefore it was launched at Rimu Flat was£IOO,OOO, as follows £50,000 machinerypurchased in New York; £12,000 hull ma-terial purchased in New Zealand; £IO,OOOduty paid to New Zealand Customs;£IO,OOO wages paid in construction; £BOOOfreight from New York; £IO,OOO build-ings, tools, compensation, insurance, etc.Preliminary expenses, mining rights,power investment, etc., ran into another£160,000.

Where Others Failed.The Rimu Flat dredge, although

brought from America, is modelled to agreat extent on the dredges used in thiscountry years ago. The directors of theRimu Company took a New Zealanddredge to California, but found it unsuit-able to work tho heavy ground overthere. The result was that they built big-ger and greater-capacity dredges, andthese they are using to-day in SouthAmerica. Tho parent company is nowconsidering tho advisability of commenc-ing dredging in Siam. The two main dif-

ferences oetween the new Rimu dredgeand old New Zealand dredges lie in theclosely connected bucket line, and in thouse of a spud instead of a headline. Thospud is like a huge needle, and is leddown into the ground at the stern. Onthis the dredge revolves as on a pivot.

During the dredging boom of 1899 prac-tically tho whole of Westland was peggedout. To such ridiculous lengths was thepegging out mania carried that it wasshown at the time that to have supplieddredges for all tho dredging areas peggedout would have cost £25,000,000. it)Rimu, at tho beginning of this century.Dunedin and Hokitika syndicates pegged,out eight areas of 100 acres each. Atthat time, however, no dredges workedthe ground. Several years ago a Sydneycompany, headed by Mr. James Burns,began dredging at Rimu. The companywas wound up at the end of tho year.The failure of this dredge to pay its waywas entirely due to the heavy nature "oftlie ground. Now, at Rimu Flat thoAmericans have shown that dredging onthe West Coast may bo made a commer-cial success, outside of dabbling in shares.Theiy have demonstrated also that heavyground may be successfully worked, andat tie same time handsome dividendspaid. The Rimu Company has 13,000acres of land. The land is swampy anduseless for farming purposes. At tho pre-sent rate of working out the propertythere are nearly 40 years' work in view.The opinion of the manager, Mr. L. W.Ford, is tftat the oompany will probablybuild another dredge, even larger and ofgreater capacity t£an the present Rimu.

Lighting Hokitika.Without having to find any capital, the

Hokitika Borough possesses an efficientelectric plant which lights tho town.When the Rimu Company bought out theKanieri Power Company it undertook tolight Hokitika, and has done so. Thehydro-electric power is generated flrom;Lake Kanieri, and the dredge and towndraw upon the same plant. The powerhouse is at Kanieri Forks, ten miles from,Hokitika. When the Hokitika electriolights flicker the townspeople exclaim:"Hallo! the dredge has struck anotherboulder." This is so. When the strainon the dredge is greatly increased, itdraws on more than its supply of thopower, nnd, consequently, for a limitedtime the town has to go short. At pre-sent the Rimu Company is only supplyinglighting and no power. It is expected*that power will shortly be available, andwhen it is, it will be greatly to tho ad-vantage of the company.

There is a tram track from Takutai toRimu Flat which was constructed by thoRimu Company, in order to get themachinery through. The distance is twomiles. To haul the machinery from Taku-tai to the Flat cost £BOO. When thetrack runs into the open the visitor's gazeis fixed on the workshops, backed upagainst a big hill of huge boulders. Tothe right the stones stretch away into thebush and are lost to sight. At the work-shops only the distant rumble of thedredge may be heard. We walk west intothe bush, and in a minute we have on ounleft a huge embankment of boulders run-ning ahead of us for a quarter of a mile.We travel along to the end of the trackand turn to the left. Before us is themammoth dredge.

On Board a Gold Dredge.

On board the dredge is like being atsea in rough weather. Mingled with theroar of the buckets is the continuousshrieking of machinery and the crashingof falling stone. The din is indescribable.It swallows up all sound. From the pilot-

house we may see the clearing gang root-ing out the bush, and making straightthe way for the oncoming monster. Near

! by is an automatic depth recorder, whichi faithfully records where the dredge was

1 digging, how deep, and at what time.' Tho chart filled in by tho recorder is senti to the office eveiy morning. One man in! the pilothouse can control the wholeS dredge with a few levers. Four men work

I the dredge each shift. Every Sunday at1 midnight the shifts commence. The men

' are relieved again at 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.Others employed in connection with the

i enterprise are the powerhouse crew, thej clearing gang, tho shop crew, and an office! staff.

j We leave the pilothouse and mount aplank at tho head of the bucket line. Each

■ bucket travels over the top once in 3J,i minutes, and 200 cubic yards of stone andI gravel are handled every hour. Tho buc-! kets empty into a revolving screen, Bftjin diameter and 15ft long. A strong jetof water plays on the stones as they are

| rolled about' in tho cylinder. Through! the holes in the cylinder the soil andl light stones escapes, and, falling below,

are caught in long tables or sluice boxes.In the tables, which run to the sides ofthe dredge, and then turn at right anglesand run to the stern, are the ripples,which catch the ghjd. After the boulderspart company with the earth and smallstones in the cylinder thef pour out oil

j to a moving screen, and are carried alongj the stacker and thrown with the tailings.When the dredgo washes up the ripplesare removed, the ends of the tables closed,and the gold caught. Mercury is kept in

! the tables, and to it the gold adheres.| Tho gold and mercury is known as amal-

gam.When tho amalgam is taken from the

tables it is placed in a red-hot retort andthe mercury distilled off. Then flux poweris thrown in with the gold and all impuri-ties driven out. After two hours in theretort the gold is poured into an ironmould and allowed to cool. On the top

of the gold is slag. When this is struckoff nothing remains but a solid gold brick,which is stamped by the company andsent to the bank to await export to San

j Francisco.

THE TEACHING OF ENGLISH.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT?BT 3. C. BREW, M.A.

Education, in the broadest sense, is thoeffect on man of tho interaction of manand his environment; in tbo scholastiosense it is the influence of a speciallyarranged environment upon young peopleand of their reactions upon it. Environ-ment in this sense includes the teacherand the other pupils. It should have a

great effect upon spoken language. Whyhas it apparently so little?

Most children use three vocabularies, or

rather, three more or less distinct modesof expression, one for tbe home, one fortho school, and one for the playgroundand street, and it seems unfortunatelytrue that after 6chool days it is the lastof these that tends to emerge and becomethe fixed habit. That is to say, thoEnglish of too many people who havopassed through our schools is slipshod inenunciation, pronunciation, and grammar.Tho schools, though giving so much atten-tion to the standard of speech, havefailed in general to fix in their pupilshabits of pleasing and correct speaking.Tho king's English is notonly maltreated,but actually looked at askanco by a greatnumber of young men and women, whosecommon style of talking is, " You wuzgoanome jus' sigh seen wotee done,'which, being interpreted is, "You were

j going home just as I saw what lie haddone."

Evidently tho school frequently fails toeradicate the least desirable vocabularyand to correct common errors in grammar.Is it to blame for this? Well, in bo faras the conditions of the school are arti-ficial, they fail to reach and influence thoreal child, and so it is unlikely that theywill replace bad English by good. And,in so far the school cramps and limitsthe oral expression of its pupils, it oannotexpect to bring about the improvementthat is expected of it. These two thingsare, to my mind, tho principal causes offailure. The relation between tcacher andpupil is in general bo formal and andthat the children are not at their ease,and it is only when they do feel at homethough in school, that they become fluentand expressive orally. The stilted teacherand tho stilted lesson leave the pupil coldand unresponsive, or even with his tonguein his cheek. But 4 friendly feelingfosters spontaneity and gets the wholechild seeking expression. There must bewarmth in school relationships if the ex-

periences there are to have any deep andlasting effects.

Evils of Drill Methods,

Long delayed, but not the 'ess wel-come, is the lead recertly given by theEducation Department in the Gazette,which has the following: —" The inspec-tor Bhould guard against estimating theefficiency of a school or teacher solely 'naccordance with measurable results, irres-pective of the method in which these re-sults have been produced, and tho effectthe production of such results may havehad on the development of the pupil..

. , More credit should be given to a

teacher who relies with success 0" somesystem of auto-oducation, than to onewho relics more on the more rigid drill-methods of instruction." It is just be-cause in the past everything has tendedto come from the teacher, that childrenhave had 60 little chance of developingtheir powers of speech. Tho lecturingteacher is an anachronism, but the teacherwho monopolises tho time with a showerof minute questions requiring a fragmen-tary response, is little better, for nosequence of thought is allowed tho pupil,whose part is limited to a slavish follow-ing of the pedagogue's mental processes.If the relation between pupil and

teacher is in general too formal andrigid, what shall be said of the rela'-onbetween pupil and pupil within the classroom? What can bo said, except thatit seldom exists at all ? Out of school,children are the most sociable of crea-tures, and there educate each other to adegree not generally realised. Why shouldthis be immediately changed for an anti-social system when tho bell rings? If aproportion of the oral work is carried onby means of the pupils questioning andanswering each otner directly, and notper medium of tho teacher, a marked effecton their powers of oral expression is ob-served, and rapid progress along desirablelines is made. For under such conditionsthere is a feeling of naturalness and free-dom leading to fluency, and at tho sametime the friendly supervision of an adultto keep the standard reasonably high.The children rea'ise the correctness ofthe teacher's mode of speaking, andmany of them really wish to acquire it,but fail simply for lack of practice underproper guidance. Children trained foreight or nine years qf the most im-pressionable age, in the art of addressingeach other, may be reasonably expectedto be confirmed in good habits, at theexpense of bad, and we should anticipatea steady improvement in their unsuper-vised conversation. 'I ho standard set byNew Zealand teachers is admitted to begood. But it were as wise to expectchildren, to dance gracefully by merelywatching tho dancing master, as to ex-pect them to substitute a cultured voca-bulary and enunciation for the veranou-lar by merely hearing good English.

Experience and Language.

Another aspect of the case is the re-lation bctweon experience and commandof language. A word is but a symbolagreed upon to represent a certain ex-perience. The baby learns names ofarticles by using them in common withothers. Mother hands him his spoon andutters the word. The use o£ the spoon isan experience in common, and the babyand mother mutually understand that a

certain article involved in that experienceis meant, when the word is spoken thatentered into that shared experience. And,in the early stages, language developsonly through direct experiences shared bythe child, and leading to tho necessityfor a word to identify that experience.Soon comes the stage when language en-ables the child to share vicariously in theexperience of others j this is indirect orimpersonal experience. But the essentialbasis of indirectly realising the experienceof others is first-hand experience, withoutwhich 110 progress is possible in acquiringknowledge—the symbolically representedexperience of the race. If tho personalc.xptlriences of a child have been inade-quate, his grip of indirect experiencemust necessarily be weak, and this leadsto parroting of words, to cramming, andto the many evils of examining peoplewhose knowledge goes no deeper than amental record of words. Therefore, iflantjuage is to be vivid and real tochildren, a good deal of the school timeshould be occupied in nctive, practicaland manual pursuits, so that there is nfund of personal, direct experiences suffi-ciently rich to give full content to thesymbols of language.

The work of the school must be ev eVlargely concerned with tho spoken andwritten word, not as a word, but as thegerm of an idea, but language cannothave its full value in handing on andpreserving the experience of the race, norin moulding its ideals, unless school workprovides for that manipulation of thingsand that management of people whichtransmutes the dross of words into thegold of thought. Nor can the attemptsof teachers be successful in raising thestandard of oral English until the workof tho school leaves the atmosphpre ofthe oloister and enters that of the work-shop and the heartlfe

ON HISTORIC GROUND.

THE BAY OF ISLANDS.BT ARCHDEACON HACMTTRRAT.

A short holiday in tho Bay of Islandshelped me to realise more fully the im-portant part which that Bay has playedin tho history of Now Zealand, and thewonderful asset which tho Dominionposscses in the scenery and fishing re-sources of the Bay.

We have no historic knowledge of thearrival of the Ngapuhi Maoris in theBay, but tho Ngapuhi aro there, and musthavo arrived there some four or five hun-dred years ago. Whether they arrivedexhausted and starved, as suggested inGoldie's picture it is impossible to say.

Tho real history of the Bay of Islands,began when Captain Cook reached CapeBrett in 1769. He had received his ap-pointment to his ship from Sir PercyBrett, the first Lord of tho Admiralty,and so he named the cape after the sur-name of his patron; and, with a sugges-tion of sailor-liko humour, he named theisland off the cape, Percy, or PierceyIsland, as it happens to have beenpierced by the stormy waves.

The next great event in the history oftho Bay was the day when Samuel Mars-den and his little band of missionariessailed through the heads, and, turningto the right, came to the pa of hisMaori friend Ruatara, a rangitira of thaNgapuhis, whose terraced pa is still -tobo seen at Rangihoua. As I stood by the

i Marsden Cross which marks the spotwh»ra tho gospel message was firstpreached in New Zealand by Samuel

• Marsden, on Christmas Day, 1814, I triTdto picture to myself the scene; and to

i speculate what would those adventurers■ for Christ have thought if thoy knew,, that, in a hundred years, the fruits ofi their faith and labours and sufferings,

. would bo manifest in a great Christian' community of Pakehas and Maoris, living

11 an terms of amity and friendship, each5 race respecting, and cordially liking, the

[ other.As an Anglican, I could not but be

proud of the fact that the first sowingof this seed was by the hands of Angli-cans, sent out by tho Church MissionarySociety,

The Past and the Future.The next event in the history of the

Bay was the founding of the MissionStation at Kerikeri, a few miles fromRnatara's Pa. Here I found an idealspot for tho work of the mission. To dayit is beautiful and peaceful—but as Ivisited the oldest house in New Zealand,built of kauri one hundred and threeyears ago, and pictured the terrible scenesof cannabalism which the hcrmo inmatessaw when Hongi returned with his cap-tives taken in his warlike expeditions,I was able in part to realise the cost totho missionaries, at which the work ofevangeilising and civilising tho Maoris,was achieved.

I paid a visit to Paihia where Henryand William Williams carried on theirgreat work among tho Maoris. It was therethat the first printing press was estab-lished, by which Bibles and prayer booksin Maori, were printed for the use of thenatives.

In tho churchyard is the burial placeof Henry Williams, the value of whoseservices to the Church and State in thisDominion is known only to a few. Andwhat a lovely, peaceful spot is this. PaTTnawith its beautiiul beach and glorious out-look to the entrance of the Bay. It willsurely become a great health resort whentho population of the Dominion growsgreater.

Next to Paihia ia the Horotutu Beach,akin in character to tho Paihia Beach.Next to it is the lovely Ti Beach, whichstretches in a semi-circle round the bay,with a crescent of hills covered withnative bush, and completely sheltering itImm the cold south and west winds.Tho view over the bay and the heads, isalmost more unhindered than at Paihia.Una thinks of a crescent of houses roundthat bav like the crescent at Clifton, inEngland— that will surely come in thenet distant future.

Whete The Treaty was Signed.Next beyond the Ti Beach, and now

connected with it by a metalled road, isWaitangi, where the treaty was signed in1840, by which tho government, of thiscountry was assumed by Queen Victoria.There, close to the memorial pillar andhall, the Maoris were assembled from farand near in a great celebration. Mar-quees and tents provided ample accommo-dation. The Maoris had provided anengine to generate electricity, and bril-liantly lighten up the place by night.'Tnero the Prime Minister was the cfiiefguest.

As one remembered' how the work of themissionaries had made the treaty pos-sible, and New Zealand thus became aBritish, and not a. French, colony, it wasa matter of great thankfulness to notetJiat one of the leading, and most culti-vated Maoris, the Hun. A. Ngata, ex-pressed in his speech, his recognition ofthe Christian treatment his race had re-ceived at British hands. One could notbut thank God for this testimony in thesedays of tho Empire's difficulties.

Historic Russell.Then a visit to Russell, where, prior

to the treaty, a demoralising influencewas exerted by whalers and runaway con-victs from Australia. It was to removethis evil influence, and to prevent thiscountry from falling into tho hands ofthe French that prompted the missionariesto influence the Maori chiefs to sign theTreaty of Waitangi.

Above the town, is the flagstaff, a re-minder of the flagstaff which Hone Hekecut down as a symbol of British rule,which led to the first Maori war. In theold Anglican <Jhurch—the oldest churchin tho country—are the holes made bytho cannon-shot fired in the struggle forthe possession of Russell.

In the graveyard is the monument toTamati Waka Nene, tho chief whose elo-quence won the signing of the treaty,and who remained through life tho frieudof the British.

In a trip to Cape Brett we passed thereef on which the Brampton was wrecked,among whoso passengers were SamuelMarsden, the founder of tho AnglicanMission, and Samuel Leigh, his friend,who founded the Wesleyan MethodistMission in 1822. These two great menwere cordial friends and fello%v labourersin the great work of founding Christ'sKingdom in Nev Zealand.

ELECTRICAL INVENTIONS.

A curious fact in connection with greatelectrical inventions was mentioned byMr. A. A. Campbell Swinton, in a paperread at the 50th anniversary meeting ofthe Institution of Electrical Engineers. Hesaid a number of the greatest electricalinventors had had no training as elec-tricians, nor* were they even endowedwith a scientific education. AlexanderGraham Bell, inventor of the telephone,was .1 teacher of the deaf and dumb;David Hughes, who invented the micro-phone, was a professor of music: Edisonwas a railway newsboy; and Hunnings,the inventor of the telephone transmitter,now in general use, was a Church of Eng-land clergyman. Mr. Swinton also men-tioned that it appeared from unpublishednotebooks left by Hughes that as far backas 1879 ho made successful experimentsin the transmission of signals by anelementary form of wireless telegraphy,and evidently received signals over con-siderable distances. Hughes, disheartenedby the criticism of fellow-scientists, gaveup his experiments. "Otherwise," saidMr. Swinton, "we might have had wire-less tolegraphy some lo years sooner."

CURRENT LITERATURE.

NOTES ON NEW BOOKS.BT CEITIO.

If New Zealand ever forgets horpioneers she will be nationally the poorer, iA study of the books which deal with jtho early days of the Dominion would bean excellent preparation for citizenship;for every post of the Empire has its ownindividuality, and every city has its ownatmosphere. Pioneering in Otago was dif-ferent from early times in North Auck-land and those who study tho old condi-tions will welcome a now contributiondealing with the Southern province.

SOME PIONEER DOCTORS.

"Medical Practice in Otago and South-land in the Early Days"—by RobertValpy Fulton, M.D. (Otago Daily Times,Dunedin).—Dedicated to the "Wives ofthe Doctors of Early Otago," and pre-faced by Sir George Fenwick'e comprehen-sive introduction, this volume is a■capital description not only of pioneerdoctors, but of the early life of Otagoitself. His earliest "subject" is D''.Joseph Crocome, who came in the middle"thirties' to the whaling and fishing set-tlements along the coast. The life wasrough, the work difficult, money veryscarce, and payment in tho roughest of"kind there were no tracks, no horses;his services were given to Maori andPakeha alike. The food consisted ofdamper, oatmeal, wild pork, pigeons,kakas, ducks and quail, fish caught by theMaoris, strong tea without milk. Cro-come had probably only just heard oftiie stethioscope, to which at first therewas much opposition, but tie clinical ther-mometer, antisepsis, chloroform and etherwere as yet unknown. Wounds weregenerally covered up with plaster andno astonishment expressed because theysuppurated ; compound fracture, as a rale,ended with death. Natives and whitesalike were often poisoned with non-ediblefish, tutu berries, bites from dogs, jaggedwounds from boar tusks, scratches fromdirty fish hooks, horrible gashes fromsealing knives, and extensive burns fromboiling seal oil. But nothing wae amisa toCrocome. When his own scanty stock ofdrugs failed him, he turned to the Maorisfor 6ome of their medical lore and reme-dies, Koromiko for internal troubles,infusion of phormium tenax and the slip-pery gum from the roots and leaves asa bath for severe wounds, an infusion ofgnaio for severe purposes; these simplessopped into flax fibre, and teased out.Ribbon-wood "jacket" packed over swell-ings and lumps, made useful substitutesfor dressings of abscesses and tumours.Sterilising was, of course, unknown, thenecessity for it or for antiseptics notdreamed of. Picture to yourself, Dr. Cro-come going his rounds, striding in heavyjack boots through swamp and mud, aMaori for his guide to the deep river cross-ings, where the only passage was by flaxkorori raft or mokihi. Here a poor na-tive trying to make himself understood,5n thing in apparent agony, to him thedoctor can only give a bolua of powderedopium and butter, and wait for an hour tosee if any relief is obtained; his nextpatient many miles farther on, mayhaps aman with a leg fractured several daysbefore, and by this time almost gan-grenous. There is no biniodide, no car-bolic, no perchloride, no Jeyes', not eventhe "first" Condy's fluid; hot water ardMap of the crudest are all that are ne'.'d-ed. No hypodermio syringe to ease thesufferings of this one fatally crushed in afall of rock, or that child terribly humedin a bush fire; no lint or dressings worthytho name; the usual treatment for chestcomplaints, oopious bleedings, a fly blisterand a purge. Yet they did tha work, anddid it well, and died, as a rule, longbefore their time, worn out and heart"broken. Think of it, you modem special-ists, and thank God for modern science,for antiseptics, for anaesthetics, for telep-phones, for motor cars, for X-rays, forspecial hospitals with trained nm'es, butmainly that you have been born a hun-dred years later and have the accumu-lated knowledge of medicine and surgery,which has reached what we, in our con-ceit, think its highest point.

From this on Dr. Fulton traces many awonderful career, many a story of human-ity. His vignettes are clear vigorous lifestudies, the background of old Otago andSouthland life is vivid; the whole makes atelling story of medical heroes fightingnobly against crude and difficult condi-tions. Apart from this aspect, is thatof contribution to pioneer literature. Itis exactly what New Zealand wants, aseries of dearly outlined, simply and terse-ly written, sketches of early New Zea-landers. With this and the late Dr.Hocken's work, Otago has now laid foun-dation for history.

BRITISH HISTORY.A Short History of British Expansion"

—by James A. Williamson, (Macmillan,London."—ln the course of a well-de-signed history, the author includes all thecommercial expansion of the Empire.From the time of the Hennings, Gascons,Jews and Italians who competed for hertrade in the eleventh century, to the firstNavigation Act in Richard'the Second'sreign, there is included some absorbingmaterial. The merchant adventures takeun the tale and we follow on to the ageof discovery and the growth of the Navy,which is dated from the Tudor sovereign,Henry the Eighth. Then come the stir-ring Elizabethan days with their famousseamen and the commencement of coloni-sation, and the almost forgotten searchfor a road to Asia through the NorthWest passage.

Crowded isthe history of British expansion fromthis time onward, including that, of ourown Dominion, of which the author writesthat, under the late Richard Seddon,"the antipodean British gave the lead toolder stock at home in demonstrating thatsocial reforms may improve the conditionsof the citizen's life, without impairingeither his individuality or his patriotism."The history is carried forward to 1920a comprehensive, accurrate study of thechanging conditions of nearly a thousandvears.

NATURE NOTES.

BY J. DRtJMHOND, F.L.8., F.Z.S.

Mr. F. W. Hobbs, when spending butChristmas season in the Otira Valley,about seven miles west uf the tunnel, andnear the junction of the Otira River andtho Teratnakau Kiver, heard sounds at

night that ho thought were uttered bysome nocturnal bird. He discovered thatthey came from whistling frogs. Theywere so different from cruaks he had heardon tho eastern side of the ranges, thathe did not at first associate them withthe whistling frogs, of which residentshad spoken to him. several frogswere caught, ho was surprised at theirsmallness. "They utter a persistant andfar-reaching s<und, like an unmusicalwhistle, on one or two notes, ho WTites." If a man lia<l a voice as loud, in pro-portion to his size, ho could stand inCathedral Square. Christchurch, andspeak to his wife on the Cashmere Hills.

The whistling frogs of the West Coasthavo a somewhat interesting history.They are not found in any part of NewZealand except the West Coast, and theyare not natives of this country, liiespecies belongs to Australia. It is veryplentiful on the eastern side of the Com-monwealth and in Tasmania. Forty-sevenyears ago, a few member? of the specieswere taken by Mr. W. Perk'ns, a Grey-month solicitor, in a bottle from. Tasmaniaand were liberated in a drain in Alex-ander Street, Greymouth. Their descend-ants now oceuyy a great stretch of countryfrom Greymouth to Hokitika, and fromtho sea coast to the mountains. Theydo not seem to have gone further souththan Hokitika- They have not been re-ported north of Greymouth, but, probably,have made their way in that direction.South of Hokitika, the green frog, an-

other Australian, which first was intro-duced to Canterbury, and made its wayover the ranges to the West Coast, isvery plentiful. In raupo swamps andother wet, weedy places, it may be heardat any time of the day, Tho whistlingfrog which usually is brownish, butchanges like a chameleon, seems to bestrictly nocturnal. It belongs to a groupknown as tree-frogs. It certainly is adeptat climbing, using adhesive discs on itsfingers and toes, but it hardly can bedescribed as arboreal, as, when not livingon the ground, it mostly favours shrubslike the blackberry.

The whistlings sometimes are solos.Oftener they are choruses. A sudden endto a chorus, apparently, is brought aboutby knowledge of an enemy's presence.Frogs are fairly low in the zoologicalsocial scale. Their brains at least are ofa low typo. At the same time, they knowthat silence may be golden. The littleWest Coasters, finding their environmentcongenially damp, spawn at any oi theyear. A female laysone time. They ore enclosed in clear jellyand are made into a bunch from one inchto two inches long, which is placed sym-metrically round a stem of grass, a reed,a stick, or a twig. The eggs remain sub-merged just below the surface of thewater. The whistling frog's official titleis, Hyla ewingi; its bigger cousin, thegreen frog, is Hyla aurea. Before theintroduction of those Australians, theWest Coast, like most parte of New Zea-land, was a t'rogles9 district. Progs wereintroduced to cheek insects on which theyfeed. Although they do no harm, it isdoubtful if they have checked noxious in-sects materially. The Australians shouldthrive better in this Dominion, than intheir native country Instead of droughtsthey have a steady rainfall. In addition,most districts in New Zoaland are wellwatered.

Mr. Hobbs has spent tho past twoChristmas seasons in the pleasant OtiraValley. When he went there last season,the mistletoe's flowers ornamented thetops of the bceches. In his bed in the hotelin the early morning, he aimised himselfby counting the scarlet splashes in theforests on Mount Alexander, which rises8000ft, from the banks of the Teramakau.The rata in the valley, he states, is so

plentiful in the New Year that it seemsto crimson the whole of the forests. Earlierin the season before the mistletoe hasbloomed, the delicate white flowers of theclematis are the principal attraction. Onoglorious day the members of M.\ Hobbsparty rode several miles up the Terama-kau Gorge, crossing the river many times.They forded up the Otchaka, a lushingtributary of the Teramakau River, for anhour, left their horses, went up throughdense forest for several hundred feet, overa crest, and down to Eaurapatakau, ahigh mountain lake that winds for severalmiles—warm, shallow, and everywhereoverhung with bush. The crested grebe,a graceful swimmer, and an amazinglyexpert diver, is plentiful on the lake,where it lives in solitude and safety. Asingle-crested grebe and some grey ducksand teal, were seen on the Arnold River,down wh !ch the party drifted in the even-ing lights, "with shadows so real that itwas hard to recognise where the forestended, and the water began."

Bird-life was not plentiful at Aicken's,a few miles from the Otira township.Pisjoons were fairly plentiful further up,but there were only a few in the lowerforests. When the'berries ripen later inthe season, Mr. Hobbs explains, morepigeons come down. A pair of Kak&posjived in the bush near the house; theirnote., often were heard in the early hoursof the evening. It is reported that, thosenight parrots still are plentiful there,kaka is reported to be present in fairlygood numbers on the upper parts of thelvellv Range. Several Kakas were seenflvit'g high overhead. The visitors didnot see eiTner a kiwi ot a weka. livekiwi is reported to he present in fair num-bers, but, bring strict!,• nocturnal, seldomis setn. Tho weka has'almost disappearedfrom the district. For that Mr. Hobbsblades the weasels, several of which hesaw. Ho heard the boding notes of themore-pork owl on most nights he was intho district. He remarks ihat its noctur-nal habits should save it from danger ofextinction. He has seen only one more-pork in the day time, and it was atTolaga Bay, north of Gisborne.

To his surprise, he saw trout in therapid wipers oj the Otira and the I'era-mnkau, which,' at that place, fall aboutfifty feet in a miie. Many small troutwere Keen in the shallows and ihe backWaters. Here and there in deeper poolsbig trout were seen. Residents said thatthose fall could not bo caught. That wasdisproved by a member of the party, who,with a ninnow, landed two, about 41b.each They were the only result ai manyhours of fishing. The Rangipoko, whichflows into Lake Brminer, gave good bas-kets, and is described as a delightfitlstream. Between Poroa and Te Kinga,there are streams that look good, butwere not tried by the party. As to LakeBrunner, Mr. Hobbs writes: " There isgood fishing there >»t times, but if youdon't strike those times you may as wellstay at. home as far as fishing is con-cerned."

AIRPLANES AND SEA POWER.

GREAT VALUE AS CONVOYS.

TO CRIPPLE SUBMARINE'S POWER.The airplane will protect commerce m

tho next war on the sea. Tho power andvirtue of the plane in securing the"freedom of the sea" have not been recog-nised, says a writer in the New YorkHerald. In the world war the UnitedStates Navy Department resorted to tho jfutile policy of placing 5-ineh or 6-inch jguns and "armed guards ' on board cargo jvessels and transports as a protectionagainst submarines. Failure was inevit-able, for the simple reason that a peri-s< ope at, a distance of a mile appears littlobigger than a match, and it is practicallyimpossible to hit such a target, even at,a distance of 500 yards. Tho submarine |could approach with impunity, especially jin tiio semi-darkness, at dawn or twilight,and sink a ship with ease. In fact, sub-marines ulten engaged successfully m gun ibatues with armed vtasols Hi broad day- ILikliL because the chances ot their being !bit were so remote. Tho gun alone tailed Jto protect because it was tied down to ja slow-moving ship! It could not getnear enough to hit. iho target. j

A Mobile Weapon. jBut the airplane solves the problem, j

It coitib.iies ail lUio advantages of the de- jst rover, the gun and tne depth charge.It is not tied down to tho ship. It has ja speed the times thai of the destroyer. {It is a scout, flying high or flying low. |No ship, large or small, submarine or |ir'Stiie cruiser can evade the searching ie\o „f the airplane and approach a convoy iv,i'.hnut being seen. iThe airplane is a living gun ! It can js\*itt;y approach the enemy—battle-jship, cruiser, destroyer or submarine— |choose Us distance and select its pro- jj<*. tile to suit thebombs, torpedoes or mines—whichever jmay lie most effective. It can sink any jcraft that floats upon the sea. It does ii:it fear battle. Navai guns are, in a;great measure, helpless against tho air- jplane.

The ordinary typo of gun failed tod'-fend the merchant sl ip, but the air-plane gun will meet the situation. Itr:11v remains to provide for mountingai d uiilizuiu it on board ship. Hap-pily this problem has been recentlysolved.

For some time past the United Statesnavy bureau of aviat.on haa been work- ;ing on a catapult which will start, tho air- jplane in flight from a ship's deck. Tho ieffort has met with success. A devicehas been perfected consisting of a fifty- :foot runway mounted on a turntable, 'vhib can easily be installed on any;si.;p, man-o'-war. or merchantman. Ifnecessary, two of these catapults couldb> mounted—one forward and one aft,

.ii even- merchant ship in time of Woj-.

A Fighting Convoy.Suppose a convoy of fifteen steamers ,

proceeds to sea in three parallel col-rrans of five shipa each. With a cata- •pult at the bow and another at the stern, ■each steamer could be armed with four (n'anes fitted to carry two 1100-poundbombs, or the equivalent weight in tor- (pedoes or smaller bombs. This would pro- (vide an air force of sixty heavy bombing ,planes, carrying 120 1100-pound bombs—-a very formidable fighting unit. |

If deemed necessary, three or more .seagoing submarines running on the sur- ;face could accompany the convoy as an ■additional escort. .

Tb-- following procedure is suggested.One or more ships at the head of thecolumn should send out two airplanes asscouts to 8y around and ahead of theconvoy, one flying low and zigzagging tolook out for submarines, the other fiyinghigh and at such a distance from theconvoy that it could discover a hostileship in time to cive ample warning byradio. If a submarine or enemy ship issighted the scouts could sound the warn-ing and attack at once. The convoycommander would then place his sub-marines between the convoy and thefnomy and reinforce the scouting planeswith relays of fighting planes, or with'ho whole forte of sixty planes, if neces-sarv.

If the two scouting planes do not sightan enemy they return to the vicinity oftheir ship when their fuel is exhausted.The ship stops with the sea on one bowto "make a lee," and the planes alighton the water close alongside and arequickly hoisted on board like a lifeboatwith the cargo derricks. During thismanoeuvre the couvoy proceeds on itscourse, and the scouting ship, after pick-ing up its planes, takes its place at therear of the column. In the mean timoanother ship or ships at the head of thecolumn send out fresh scouting planes totake up the isearcb.

The search in the two or three hoursMore sunset each day should be verythorough in order that no enemy maydiscover or intercept the convoy duringthe night. An enemv, once discovered,should not be pennitte/l to escape. Theattack should be vigorously pushed.Due or more planes should keep in con-stant touch with the enemy at night andindicate his positions by flares. It mustbe realised that a ship ia virtually help-less if attacked by planes at night. Thelatter cannot be seen or heard, and canfly so low that they can hit with certainty.

The Air Battle.Let us suppose that an enemy cruiser,

or several of them, or even one or morebattle cruisers, should meet a convoycarrying siity bombing planes at sea.The cruisers, unless approximately equalin number to the merchant ships, couldnot carry such a battery of long rangeairplane guns! The men-of-war if notcommanding the air could not commandthe sea! Would one or more cruisers jwith a small battery of airplanes dare to jattack an overwhelmingly superior air lforce ? In the air battle before they \could get near the convoy they would Ifa/'P defeat and disaster.

Viewing the airplanes as a gun, there-fore—the greatest gun in future warsvro must, be prepared to revise our con-ceptions of sea power. If the weightof metal or high explosive in a broad-side; if the number of "great guns" witha range of a 100 or 200 miles, is to deter-mine the result of future battles at seathe airplane carrier with eighty planeswill become the capital ship of all navies,and the merchant steamer with its batteryof planes becomes a small airplane carrier,

can fight on equal terms with thecruiser, whoso £uns of the ordinary typevnll not count because they cannot reach.The "gun" of the past and present be-longs to the "secondary battery." Thebig gun of the future is the airplane.

From a cnnsideriton and review ofthe possibilities of airplane developmentit would appear tl at thn scrapping ofbattleships by the Washington conferenceis a mere recognition and forerunner ofth* inevitable—the domination of airpevrer.

FELL 30 FEET FROM TRAIN.

LANDED ON VAN HOOD.Dr. Norman Giknrist, a well-known

practitioner of Welbecb Street! Caven-dish Square, and Coldharbour Lane, Cam-berwell, had a miraculous escape fromdeath recently.a''gbt from a trainet Brixton ho foil over the viaductwall and dropped 30 feet, landing on thohood of a van outside some smiles.The story of how the doctor came toleave the tram while in motion is a

curious one. In response to an urgentcall to attend a patient he left Victoriant a quarter to ten in the morning lieh-u been working very hard and wasvery tired._ Soon after the train started he droppedinto a doze. He awoke as thP train wasleaving bast Brixton, and thinking itwas entering, nut leaving, the station,ho opened the carriage door aud jumpedout.

Dr. Gilchrist expected to cat<-h holdof a railing at the end of a platform,bus misjudged the distance, and fell, asgf-.ted above, it was no doubt his dropon to the hood of the van that saved hislite.

KEEPING OLD AGE AT BAY.

BY A SIMPLE OPERATION.

NO ANIMAL GLANDS USED.Extraordinary results in the rejuvena-

tion of men and women have beenachieved, it is claimed, through a simpleoperation devised by Hcrr Steinach, aViennese professor. They are described

1 by Dr. Harry Benjamin, one of his pupils,: in a paper in which ho has officially intro-

j duced the now operation to the American; medical- profession.

He emphasiea that the Steinachmethod difiors from all those which haverecently attracted attention in that thereis no transplanting of monkey glands orany foreign bodies. " All that is done,"says Dr. Benjamin, "is to. tie a vessel

! which produces stimulation to a certain! gland."| Only a local anaesthetic is used, and tho! patient is required to remain only three

days in bed.; One of the casoii cited is that of a man;of 71 who came to the Vienna Generali Hospital suffering from an acute abscess.| While being operated on for abscess he! was "Steinached" without his knowledge,j " Kine months later." says Dr. Benja-| min, " tho man reported that ho was| astounded by tho remarkable changes inI his health. He had regained full mentalI and physical efficiency and his lnascu-jlinity reawakened. No one could believej thai he was well into his 72nd year."

| The operation has been tested so manyI times, states Dr. Benjamin, that it canJ safely be considered outside tho state ofI experiment.| It is not claimed that tho operationjwill definitely prolong the span of human

I life, "for," says Dr. Benjamin, "thero is noj way of finding out what limit Providence

I has set 011 human life. But the un-S doubted fact," he affirms, " is that the| operation prolongs that part of a man'sj life iu which he is a social asset wh°n pro-| ducing and earning. Creative genius, aj singer's voice, a statesman's ambition, canjail bo given a fresh lease of life."

| Both sexes, according to Herr Steinach,! are equally benefited. Women can havej their youthful appearance restored, losewrinkles, and grow a fresh head of hairof the original colour, it is said.

First Experiments With Eats.Steinach's work in this field started

Ion" before the exeat war by experimentson male rats. Re took rats whose lengthof life averages 27 to 30 months. Senility

■ begins at from 18 to 23 months, and very| few live to be older than 30 months,

j The signs of senility are easily recognisedand include loss of hair, listiessness and

! lack of interest in the surroundings, loss;of playfulness and pugnacity, reduction! in weight, depressed carriage of the head

and body, disregard for cleanliness, thepresence of body parasites, and absolute

. lack of interest in the female.Steinach tied tho 6perm duct leading

from the rat's puberal gland on one sideof the body. Within a month tie ani-mal was transformed. It had a newcoat of fur. It held its head erect andwas interested in its environment. Itfought bravely with other males, playedwith young females, rid iteelf of lice, andshowed a renewed regard for cleanliness.

This experiment was repeated in hun-dreds of cases and the results checked bycomparison of the rejuvenated animalswith bro hers from the same litter.

The rejuvenated animals survived up tothe age of 35 months or more, and thengradually a second senility supervenedand death ensued. This represents anincrease of at least 16 per cent, on therat's ordinary span of life. (If appliedto man ii; would represent as addition ofabout ten years.)

In 1918 the great surgeon Lichtensternof Vienna, applied Steinach's results to

I human beings by performing the opera-| tion on a man. Since then he has done[over 60 cases without a single case of

i failure. i[ Drs. Peter Schmidt, Levy-Lenz, Muhsam

jand many other surgeons throughout Gcr-; many have also performed the operation

j successfully in many cases, and their re-sults have been reported in the leading

I German .and Austrian medical journals.I The operation is simple and can be per-

i formed, under local anesthesia if neces-sary, in about a quarter of an hour. Onlya few days' rest in bed is required, andthe patient suffers scarcely more incon-venience than after the extraction ofteeth.

There is nothing miraculous or mysteri-ous about the matter. More and morescientists are recognising how much ourhealth depends on the correct functioningof pur "ductless glands," of which thethyroid is perhaps best known to thepublic.

If the thyroid gland is inactive the un-fortunate person to whom it belongs is acretin—dull, stupid, and scarcely betterthan a vegetable. If the pituitary glandis disordered there may result a giant ora dwarf.

Now it was found that when old agecomes on the "puberal glands" were notworking actively. The tying of thosperm duct stimulates the puberal glandsto renewed activity, and the generalhealth and vigour of the patient are re-newed.

OPERATION INSURANCE.

NEW ENGLISH SCHEME.You can now insure against operations.

: The financial horrore, at least, of the sur-| geon's knife have been removed.| A London firm of brokers has evolved ai scheme which ensures to insured personsJ seized with sudden illness the payment ofI expenses up to £IOO, including fourj weeks' convalescence at £4 a week,j Families can be insured at 15s per

I annum for the head and 7s 6d for eachj additional member. The cost of insuring

> individual cases is 15s per annum.I All dental operations are excluded un-

der the scheme, nor will any claims under£lO be paid. The question on the pro-posal form make it clear that while allclaims on unforeseen operations will bepaid out, claims on premeditated opera-lions by prospective policy-holders cannotbe undertaken."The idea originated," the insurance

broker said to a Daily Express representa-tive, "in the fact that my wife, threechildren, and finally my niece all fell vic-tims to appendicitis within a few weeks.The cost of this, some £SOO, set me think-ing. Mv scheme is the outcome, and Ihave insured all my family. The schemehas beer, underwritten at Lloyd's."

£1,000,000 IN SAVINGS LOST.

YOUNG MAN'S HUGE FRAUD.The career of a youthful financier, Ray.mond Bischoff. who in a few months accu-

mulated liabilities of more than£1,000,000, representing the savings ofthousands of poor foreign stockyardworkers, was revealed at the ChicagoFederal Court a few weeks ago.

The who] of tho money was lost in thewildest financial schemes, and the youth-ful promoter is now in caol at his ownrequest to protect him from the vengeanceof his dupes.

Bischoff. who is 25, admitted that hestarted operations with little more thanthe clothes he stood up in. He circular-ised the employees of the stockyards, de-scribing the vast profits awaiting thosewho would entrust their money to himfor investment.

By the familiar method of paying earlyinvestors larce dividends out of themoney subscribed by later Icomers heearned a fabulous reputation as a money-maker among illiterate Lithuanians, Poles,and Russians who comoose a largo pro-portion of the stockyard workers.

With their money Bischoff organised anumber of oil companies and also pur-chased two blocks of flats, a farm, fourlarge motor-cars, and a quantity of ex-pensive clothing for his mother.

The latter, with her blind husband,appeared in Court and described how sheaided her eon to carry out his schemes.

the bubble burst, Bischoff, havingfled to the police for protection, made ai lean breast. While the Court proceed-ings were in progress a crowd of stock-yard workers stormed and wrecked hisluxurious suite Qf offices.

OCTOPUS SEIZES WOMAN.

SPECTATORS TO THE RESCUE./ .

A graphic account of her seizure by anoctopus, while bathing at Pardijon, nearSt. Tropez, France, was given by Mrs.Tattershall Dodd."I had previously bathed on the

sands," said Mrs. Dodd, "but on thisparticular morning I went to the rocks.All of a sudden, while standing near arock, something seized one of my legs."I must have lost my mental balance,

as it was not until afterwards that I dis-covered I was in the grip of an octopus.One of its tentacles was wound round wyleg with a tight grip. I cried out to myfriends who came to my assistance atonce.''They began beating about with sticks,

and apparently the creature, which I hadnot seen, scented danger. Its grip loos-ened, and, once my leg was free, I madefor the shore."It was not allowed to escape, how-

ever, It was later driven from its hiding-place, stoned to death, and exhibited inmy hotel. Its tentacles were nearly twiceafl long as tho walking-sticks which wereused to drive it out."

HUSBAND'S SECRET ROOM.

CONTAINING FAMILY HISTORY.A woman who imitated Bluebeard's

wife and opened a locked room whichher husband had forbidden her to enter,petitioned the New York courts to annulher marriage as the result of discoveriessho made in the "Chamber of Mystery,"

The ground of her application is theallegation that her husband is a negroThe man, Jose Bornn, who formerlyfilled important positions on New YorkNewspapers, is now connected wilh tiChicago journal. The couple were mar-ried in London in 1906.

Evidence brought forward by the wifeinaludes several phonographs of Bornnand his seven brothers and sisters andpamphlets containing the history of hisfamily. Two witnesses who formerly livedat St. Thomas, in the Danish West Indies,Borun's birth-place, testify that thefamily there had a reputation of beingnegroes.

Bornn admits that he is not Caucasianbut denies that he has Ethiopian blloodin his veins.

His wife says he told her at the timeof their marriage that his father was aDutchman and his mother a Spaniard.Both children of the marriage are white.

STREET HAWKERS' PROFITS.

MAKE UP TO £8 A DAY.

MANY EX-SOLDIERS DOING WELLA man who was brought before tho

Bradford city magistrates tho other daysaid ho could mako 20s a day by sellingbootlaces. When ho was asked howmuch ho spent in beer each day hereplied, " Oh, ss, or maybe more."

Some time ago a street flower-seller,who came before tho samo magistrates,acknowledged that he made as much as£8 a day when the flower season was atits height.

This is not doubted. For two years ormoro half a dozen flower sellers whostand opposite the Itawson Markot inBradford, have been fined regularly eachweek a gum of £2 for breaking a by-lawthat forbids street sellers to trade withina certain radius of the market.

Since the war, scores of ex-soldiers inGreat Britain have taken to hawking, andsome of them appear to do very well.An ex-soldier went into a Bradford ware-house recently, .and, saying that ho couldnot get work anj was

" fed up," plankeddown £lO and asked tho proprietor tospend it for him in a miscellaneous selec-tion of drapery goods, as he was goingto try his hand at hawking,

Within a month the man was spending£195 a fortnight at the warehouse, andho now bids fair to become another Sel-fridge.

Some of these new-fledged tradesmenstart in a very humble way. One mancalled on a wholesale house and bought

stockings to the value of 20s. Everyweek since then he lias steadily increasedhis turnover, until at present ho is spend-ing over £5 a week in stockings, and liasadded other saleable goods to his stock.

With respect to the flower-sellers whoare fined <»Cs "very wcck ; much publicsympathy is expressed with them, butthe traders opposite whose doors theysell their flowers, consider that they havea 'grievance, as they have to pay heavyrents, rates and ta.xes, whilo the streetvendors pay nothing for a valuable stand.

London suburban residents have becomeaccustomed, since the war, to the hawkerwho displays his confidence by leavinghis wares at the door—even droppingthem through the letter-bo?—with theprinted or typed intimation that he willcall again in a day or two.

Where the articles are priced at notmore than 6d or Is, many householdersfeel disposed to pay for them rather thatidisappoint the ex-soldier hawker by re-turning them.

IMPORTANCE OF COLOUR.

IN FACTORY AND HOME.

MARKED EFFECT ON MOODS.Colour schemes for factory workera,

with a view to increased production, areamong the bright ideas of modern decora-tion specialists. In one case, at least,tho idea has beon adopted with the bestresults." We were asked to decorate a factory

so that it would produce better workers,"explained the member of a firm of ex-pert house dccorators. "The walls weredone in daffodil yellow; the corners andthe capitals of the pillars were pickedwith deep blue. The stimulating atmos-phere created by that scheme was re-markable."

Do the colours and designs of our wallcoverings really make their "victims"sad, or mad, or sublimely happy? Sev-eral decorative artists think they may,especially as regards emotional, highly- jsensitive natures.

Thus, the psycho-craze has penetratednot only the wallpaper and coloured wallindustry, but has also crept into furnish-ing and furniture.

To dignity, beauty and comfort in housedecorating modernists have added themental and moral assets of completesohemes.

For instance, soft, gentle yellows mustbo tho background of a room in whichsufferers from neurasthenia may findcalm.

It would be most unwise for a wifeto enter into a contentious domesticdiscussion within red walls. Largo patchesof red in tho home aro admitted to bean irritant.

The samo authority declared thatamongst all the wallpaper in tho world,none could be found to suit temperamentalwomen whoso moods are for ever chang-ing."Although each colour is supposed to

have a psychic influence,'' lie stated," not all people would get the eaine im-pression from one colour scheme. "Weare constantly being asked for wallpaperoil its temperamental value; I thinkpeople are studying that aspect of furnish-ing to a large degree."

Another specialist in colour showed arepresentative of The Evening News aset of model rooms. Influence of colourand line are very marked in each one.

The dining-room, with its sharp angles,black and red furniture and stiff sim-plicity, was a lesfon in table manners.It suggested the sort of atmosphere inwhich learned parents talk advancedmathematics.

Such a room might aggravate a slightmisunderstanding, and create coldnessbetween fast friends.

Luckily, the lounge near by, with an"atmosphere'.' created by soothingcolours and curving, indefinite pieces offurniture, would adjust unhappy differ-ences.

Tho expert spoke of instances whentemperament in colouring had been theprimary consideration.

" One of our clients had a south din-ing room in grey," he related. " She(old us since that the cooling influencewas so real that sho dared not Bcrvomutton or lamb for dinner."

"If we were furnishing a sick room acombination of pink and black wouldmost likely he used. A black skirtingwith wails of pink suggests a renewedbody, and would not be as stimulatingas the ureing 6pring colours of yellowand green."

FREE MEALS AT THEATRE.STRANGE JAPANEBE DISHES.

SUSTENANCE FOB TEN HOUR PLAY.When I kneel down on the cushion in

my accustomed box at the theatre inTokio an old man brings me a teapotfilled with a palo green fluid and aninfinitesimal oup from which to drink, areceptacle that holds hardly more thanthree swallows, writes Zoe Kincaid in 'theDaily Mail. The beverage is \guiltless ofsugar or milk.

On a tray is an oblong bar of yokali,made of sweet brown bean paste or chest-nuts thickened by a gelatine obtainedfiora certain seaweed. Thus the theatredispenses its hospitality as the play begins,which is generally about one o'clock inthe afternoon.

In a pretty bowl are certain temp'tingbits to whet the appetite—pounded andsteamed shark cut into white cubes;portions of tasty roasted lobster; sweetomelette moulded into fancy patterns, andall arranged on top of each other to forma pyramid, while on the side are delicategreens of mustard leaves boiled tenderand sprinkled over with a salty brownsauce as relish.

Two new wooden chopsticks convey thedainty morsels to the mouth, and theseare broken and discarded when they areno longer needed.

During tho interval for dinner twolate,united Ixves are brought in. Hi ftcontents will vary with the season, butin most cases the playgoer discovers in

one hot boiled rice and in the other crispslices of lotus root; pieces of boiled bam-boo sprouts, the first bud-like growth thatis to shoot up rapidly into tho tall,slender stem of full development; sweet-ened chestnuts and soft-boiled sugaredbeans.

Then follow melon-rind preserved insake; little pickled white onions and aslico or two of flesh ginger with driedmushrooms that have been steamed, to-gether with more substantial things, suchas tish roasted over the charcoal embers,and balls of minced chicken—all washeddown with frequent draughts of tea.

After such a plentiful repast there islittle danger that the playgoer will feeltho pangs of hunger, but about eighto'clock, when-the audience begins to feelwell warmed to the actors, a dish ofsushi, or sandwiches, is offered for in-spection—little balls of cold rice stuffedwith seasoned vegetables or fish, andwrapped about by thin layers of greenseaweed that adds considerably to itstoothsomeness.

Later on fruit is served, and fresh cupsof tea are industriously provided by theindefatigable attendiwit,

What with the changing scenes uponthe stage, tho varied sights afforded bythe audience, and the frequent invitationsto indulge in refreshments, the long per-formances, that last from nine to tenhours, are less formidable than might beexpected.

SHIP DOGS SAVE CHILD.

FROM FALL OVERBOARD.

The steamship Gdansk, of the Polish-American Line, arrived in New Yorkrecently from Danzig, carrying sixteenpassengers, all under 18 years andorphans, who were being sent to relativesor friends in the United States.

The children on board, many of whomwere verv young, were taken care of bythree police dogs belonging to Captain

Peterson, which always make the voyagewith him. Five of the children are mem-bers of the family of Brindell Zazorow-ski, of Philadelphia, and range in agefrom Brindell, jun., who is 15, to ZeaU,who is seven. Some one gave Zeata ahandsome doll just before she got aboardthe ship at Danzig and she rarely let itget out of her aims during the voyage.

About the third day out, howeveriZeata leaned too far over the rai] of thevessel and her doll slipped frdm her armsand fell toward the sea. It caught on anail. She started to climb over the rail-ing, but had just thrown her leg overwhen Thyras, one of the police dogs,which was an almost constant companionof the child, grabbed her clothing inhis teeth and held on. The other dogsbegan barking and Zeata began scream-ing and the purser got there in .timeto prevent the child from going over-board into the sea. Zeata was draggedback on board and lectured so severelythat during tho remaincr of tho trip shestuck close to the centre of the deck.And tile dogs seemed to know tho childhad been in great danger, because afterthat when she appeared on deck theyfollowed her wherever she went,

CAT SAVES THREE LIVES.

GIVES WARNING OF FIRE,Living in tho village of Barlow, near

Selby, Yorkshire, there is a cat, whichhas saved the lives of three people.

On a recent morning Mr. Walter Pear-Bort got tip as usual soon after 4 a.m.,lighted tho kitchen fire and left tho houseto go to work soon after 5, leaving hiswife, his son Herbert. 18. and his daugh-ter Doris, 17, still asleep.

About 6.30 a.m. the eirl was awakenedby. Nippy, tho cat, jur.ipinc on her bedand patting her face. Directly he sawth»t she was awake, tho cat rushed toMrs. Pearson's room and woke her also.At the time tho rooms were full of suffo-cating smoke.

Mrs. Pearson called to her son, and thethree, putting wet towels round theirfaces, fought their way downstairs throughdense clouds of smoke which came fromthe kitchen, where the mantelpiece andfittines were well alight. When theyreached the vard the cat, which had comewith them, collapsed, and for some timeit seemed doubtful if it would recover.Meanwhile neighbours had come to therescue and had put out the firs.

" If it had not been for Nippy, I amquite sure we should all have Deen suffo-cated," said Mrs. Pe&rson.

JAPANESE CO-RESPONDENT.

ENGLISHMAN GIVEN DIVORCE.

"PENNY' NOVELETTE LETTERS."Tho hearing was concluded in London a

few weeks ago of the divorce petitionbrought by Captain John Leonard Hutch-inson, accountant, formerly a captain inthe Corps of Military Accountants. Healleged misconduct of his wife, EdithMay, and a Japanese co-respondent, Mr.Yoshimaro Tanaka, eaid to be a professorat the Agricultural and Imperial Uni-versity, Tokio. Damages were claimed.

The allegations were denied. Mr.Tanaka did not appear, and the wifeasserted that adultery,, if any, had beencondoned by her husband, who in replydenied this.

Captain Hutchinson's ease was thatwhile ho was stationed at Hounslow Baa-racks in 1920 his wife and children wereat a boarding house in Marlborough Koad,Balnfm, where Mr. Tanaka and otherJapanese guests also resided. Themanageress complained of Mrs. Hutchin-son's association with Mr. Tanaka andgave them notice to quit. Being assuredby his wife and Mr. Tanaka that therewas nothing wrong, the husband said theyall wont to live at Malwood Road, Bal-ham, where in October, 1920, by sheeraccident, lie found in his wife's handbagletters from Mr. Tanaka to Mrs. Hutchin-son under the came of " Mrs. Pink."

In Mr. Tanaka's room Captain Hutch-inson said lie found letters from his wife.They were couched in affectionate termsand addressed mostly to "My dearTedcy,' 1 while Mr, Tanaka called Mrs.Hutchinson "My dear Mimosa," and re-ferred to her as an " oasis" in smoky Lon-don and a " white blossom in a greenoasis."

Tho wife admitted being constantly inMr. Tanaka's room, but said she washelping him -with his English. The lettersstw wrote him, she said, were mostly" piffle," and afforded her some amuse-ment. Beyond thai there was nothingwrong.

Mr, Grazebrook, for the wife, contendedthat tho letters, were merely thoso of asilly woman.

Mr. Cannot, for the husband, pointedout various phrases which he said showedan amorous association between thecouple.

Mr. Justice Hill Baid the wife's letterswere either those of an adultress or of asilly fool who had been carrying on animproper correspondence. She alwaysseemed to write in the language of apenny novelette. Was the correspon-dence merely that of an exceedingly'foolish and idly romantic woman? Atone period it seemed like it, but as theletters went on they appeared as if theycould not have been written by anyoneexcept a woman engaged in an active in-trigue involving illicit intercourse.

The wife, said Mr. Justice Hill, hadnot proved that her hufband had con-doned her misconduct, and ho gave Cap-tain Hutchinson a decree nisi, £350 dam-ages, together with costs and custody ofthe children.

VICAR DISMISSES CHOIR.

RESULT OF SECRET PICNIC.St, Michael's, Blackburn, is without a

choir, as the result of a dispute tahick hasended in the vicar, the Rev. E. Hanson,giving each chorister formal notice ter-minating services which, in somo instances,have extended over 20 years, The troubleappears to have arisen from an unofficialpicnic which the choir claim they wereentitled to organise without interference.

In the following explanatory note to hisparishioners the vicar mentions a dis-agreement between wardens and choir asto the sum of money which should be setaside for the choir picnic.

"A meeting was called, at which I tookthe chair. The full choir was present,and for three hours let themselves go intheir fury. Girls and women lost theirwomanliness in their tempers; men wereabusive and ill-mannered'; threats "werethrown out to me, and I was declared tobe the one and only person who hadcaused the trouble.

" Afterwards there was a talk ' over acup of tea,' and an agreement wasreached, under which the choir agreed toobsene regular attendance at Holy Com-munion services, and to discontinue thesecret penny picnic, which had long beenan undesirable feature of the choir'sdoings. Later I learnt that a ' secretpicnic* had taken place.

"There was nothing left for me to do butto take the nettle and crush it, which Ihave done, and it will never revive."

The choir assert that there was nothingwrong in their having a weekly collectionamong themselves for the " secret pennypicnic," and they dispute the right of thevicar to veto iuch a picpio.

LIFE'S PAINS AND PLEASURES.The sounds of chewing gum, automo-

biles and jazs were classed f.mong themost irritating noises in answers receivedby the St. Louis Woman's AdvertisingClub from friends to whom they had sub-mitted questionnaires. Cream puffs werevoted the greatest delicacy, with mush-rooms and ic« cream ranking second andthird. Results on other questions were:That a kitchen's colour scheme should bewhite.

SHORTENING ATLANTIC TRIP.Air service between London and Cork,

which will shorten the journey to Amer-ica by at least a whole day, is beingpromoted. The distance is 400 miles, andit is hoped that soon many transatlanticliners will put in at Queenstown, wherepassengers and mails could be taken overa day later or the voyage from Americacould be cut down the same way. Theplan is to use airplanes able to alighton either land or water. It is proposedto start from the Thames, near West-minster, and alight in Queenstownharbour.

PROPOSAL TO TAX GIFTS.

A graduated gift tax, ranging from 1per cent, on amounts exceeding 1000 dol-lars to 25 per cent, on gifts in excessof 10,000 dollars, is proposed in a billintroduced by Representative Frear, Re-publican, of Wisconsin, a member of theWays and Means Committee. The estatetax, Mr. Frear said, was avoided in manyinstances by distributing of property gifts.A gift tax could be put into effect with-out a constitutional amendment, he de-clared. adding that it would "materi-ally aid the estate tax in reducing lar?ofortunes now tending to create a classof idle rich."

U.S. TEA TESTERS.

Seven men, comprising the UnitedStates Board of Tea Experts, appointedby James A. Wallace, Secretary of Agri-culture, sat down in New York recentlyto test teas of various countries to selecta standard for import.. There will boseven sessions of the board. The boardmeets amtally to fix a minumumquality tea for the euidanc© of examinersat Honolulu, San Francisco, S'ew York,Boston, Tacoma, Chicago and St. Paul,where tea is admitted. Although tea isnot dutiable it is entered in bond andnot released until a sample is taken andapproved. The board, composed chieflyof tea merchants and importers, wasorganised in 1897.

WIRELESS AIDS PLYING.The successful operation of the wire-

less telephone across the English Chan-nel has made possible continuous com-munications between English shorestations and flying craft in the Paris-Brussels service, and is particularly help-ful in a. heavy fog. An air traffic con-trol tower at the aerodrome has beenlinked up with an extension from thewirelesd station and so arranged that a,wireless operator can plug the air con-troller through on a wireless telephone toany air express on the wing, with theresult that any urgent orders or explana-tions of conditions at landing fields canbe conveyed to pilots. Th e wireless towerat the aerodrome also has proved a greathelp to pilots who are landing in rain orfoe, for the operator can communicatewith megaphone as the airplanes are com-ing in. The system has served furtherto eliminate danger from the Channel airservice.

GERMANS SAME AS PLAQUE.For legal purposes Germans are nowregarded in France as a "plague ratherthan as a contagious malady." In 1917

an engineer in the Lille district wantedto make, a will and accordingly he selectedthe legal form known as " testament rais-tique, whereby the testator seals his willand hands it to a latvyer in tho presenceof six witnesses. As tho Germans werethen harrying the district, a notary couldnot be obtained, and therefore the Mavorof the commune took his place. Theivill has just been contested on theground that it was improperly executed,as a notary was not present. The Court,however, upheld the will nnc|or a clausein the civil co3e which says that in casea will is marie where because of a plagueof similar cause usual measures are im-possible, it is legal for a will to be madebefore a justice of the peace, or anyother municipal officer. j

CHAPTER IX.Just about, a week later Marcus Quayle

and Dinah Vanecourt' rode togetherthrough tho gates of the park upon abreezy and invigorating spring morning,and Dinah was conscious of deliciousthrills running through all her pulses asshe felt the buoyant movement benmthher and the eager, delicate prancing of thebeautiful creature she rode as be felt thesoft tan beneath his feet.

As a child Dinah had ridden, and de-lighted in the exercise. The dream of hergirlhood had beou to have a country cot-tage and to " keep a horse." Howstrange it seemed that she was practicallyowner now of a beautiful old house anilits stud of splendid horses! And no onein her own world know it vet! She wasr'diog a borrowed horso now. But soonsho would bo scouring a beautiful newcountry on one of her own. The thrill•if her pulse brought a splendid colour toher cheeks and a great light into her eyes,lte man beside her noticed this, and againthe thought came to him—what a splendidireature was Dmah Vanecourt, a womanin ten thousand :

" xv ° S IV° theiu their heads,Marcus? she asked; and the neit min-ute they wero speeding along side bv side,■he vino in their laces, the sunshineMug warm upon the track, glancing

through the young loaves putting on theiriresh crecti garment of springtide.

Diuiin felt as though for her all theworld was made young again. Her ownexultant happiness caught her breath andalmost stabbed her. For a moment the'bought of tho woes of others, the wrongs,the injustice, the cruelty, the fraud, swept■vor her, blotting out tho sunshine and)

the Ida. Ihen >otith and hope and high jreasserted themselves once more.

H4b life lay before her. Surely there was j». me meaning in the strange gift from j•he gods which had come her way, drop-ping as though from the skies. Shewnu'J ponder their strange happening.She wiu'd seo what could be made of it-.She-

"Dinah, look yonder! There is ourquarry. \ou see that girl coming to- jwards us, with the dog racing beside her? |The d'"'g is my great friend and ally, ijam extremely glad that she has him. "Theady is Miss Dumaresq. We have met!

and pa-Jed each other before this. Today j1 Jam going to stop and speak." j"If you have not spoken before, how do '

you know the dog'' " j"She brought- him with her last week.

Dogs always know their friends. I took |t-hfm both to see my menagerie."

" 1 am coming to see your menagerie isoon, Marcus. 1 think I shall bo able to ifind country homes for all your pension-1ers." ;" That would bo excellent. Are you

setting up some independent establish-ment of your own may I ask.'.' "

If her colour hid not been so bright withexercise it might have shown a tell talehluth. As it was, there was no changeis the met his gaze with a frank

" I am going to be deal in thecountry this spring. I am [going to helpto renovate an old manor house. I wentto see it the other day. Mrs. Movie is adelightful old person. I am to have afree hand, I think. But look, here isMiss Dumaresq walking her horse towardsus! Marcus, she is as pretty as hername."

Lorraine was looking with a delightfullyshy interest, at Marcus Quayle and hishandsome companion. Her delicate facewas flushed with exercise and with thepleasure of their encounter. The doctorhad said to her a few davs back—"I shall be bringing a lady to riJo with

me sometimes. I hope, when that hap-pens, that vju will let me introduce you.I fancy you wo' ,d rather like one an-other. Miss Vanecourt is a very greatfriend of mine."

And Lorraine had decided : n her- ownmind that by this he meant that he andMiss Vanecourt would one day be married.He had the reputation of being some-thing oi a wotnan-hater, or, a't least, thekind of man who had no use for womenfriends. Lady Lindislea certainly gave theworld to understand that she was theonly woman who had ever been admittedto his friendship. Instantly Lorrainebegan to weave a romance ahout thisother lady, and at sight of Dinah Tierdreamings took a more precise and defin-ite shape."She is perfectly beautiful! She is

just the wife that such n man as he wouldwant."

Dinah, on ber side, was saving toMarcus: "What a very delightful littleperson! Introduce us directly. She isperfectlv charming."

Lorraine Hid indeed look charming thatmorning. The dark ereen of her habi'tshowed up the delicate purity of hercompletion. Her golden-brown eves werefull of eager lights, and the slendel „Taceof her figure was bv the re-markable well-cut severity of her garb.The big ' kindled dos was jumping un towelcome Marcus, uttering his deep-throated bark. In 'the noise hp made tinintroduction was effected, and the doctorleaned down to pat and quieten the dog

And now she had made this fartherstep. Here was ano'ther friend, a womanfriend—his friend, not Georgina's—ready'o offer her liking and confidence. Howfood of Dr. Quayle to manage this!

. Lorraine plunged into her story, for whichi Dinah was prepared, and as she listened

1 the older girl became aware of somethingi uncanny and abnormal in the surroundings

of the speaker which eluded the scope, of definite description.

Witat Marcus had told her recurred to, her memory now. This fragile little crea-j! ture was in the power—in the house, at

; least—of a man who had the fingering of■ her money, and would profit immensely by

her death. There was an clement in suchj a situation which mado for peril. But it

i was doubtful as yet whether Lorraine had| grasped this particular factor of the situa-

, tion. And Dinah would be the last per-son in the world to suggest this new idea

' to her.| j So she told instead of her own life m

j the Bloomsbury house; of her threebrothers, one of wliora worked for and

'[with Marcus Quayle: of their ambitionsI and hopes and careers. Lorraine listenedwith parted lips and eager eyes, forget-ing her own personal affairs in the inter-est and amusement of hearing of otherlives.

Everything in Dinah's home was so o:t----frrent from her own. It was fascinating

j to hear how other people lived and work-! eJ, thought and acted. Sho scarcely! notioed how little Dinah spoke of herselfor her own special occupations. But, of

| course, if she had a house and three bro-I thers to look after, sho would not haveI much time for herself.® How interesting

I it must be to have real useful occupations,! instead of just killing time by games, or

1 eoing about in carriages and motors toother people's houses, seeing the same

i Dinah spent her time as compared with| Georgina!! They varied their talk with breathless

i and-delightful ranters over the soft tan.Dinah was enjoying every minuto of thetime. It was such a joy to her to feel

! a horse beneath her again; to know thatthis pleasure was not hers just by *hekindness of a friend, but would be hers inperpetuity now; to realise that as shewas the recipient to-day of one form ofdelieht, so in the future she would havethe power as well as the will to

Her meditations were brought to anabrupt end. Lorraine suddenly went, aswhite as a sheet, and instinctively Dinahput forth a hand as though to steady herin the saddle.

"Dear, what is the matter?' 1 she asked.Lorraine gripped hard the outstretched

hand, and with the whip she held in theother with her reins pointed to the dog.

"Bogey" was standing in the middle ofthe road some distance ahead, bristling allover as with anger, the crest alone hisbark rising erect, his eyes with a reddenedcleam fixed full upon a pedestrian onthe rath.

°T_t is Adrian." spoke Lorraine, in achoked voice. "He has been spying uponme. Oh, what shall I do?"

"Do not l>e a little goose," answeredDinah, nuietly. "hut kindly introduce meat once to your brother-in-law, Mr. Mar-mol."

"Oh f Miss Vanecourt, do you meanit?" \

.

"I do. Introduce me quite franklv; butdo not say anything about MarcusQuayle."

CHAPTER X.Adrian Marinol lifted his hat as the

equestrians rode up. His eyes searchedthe face of Dinah with a very intensescrutiny. As she met the glance of thoseeyes, which looked like those of a catin the dark, her quick intuitions regis-tered an impression.

' That man is a bad man. Poor littleLorraine."

But at least the man was all suavityupon the introduction.

"One makes friends quickly over horsesjand dogs out in the freshness of the earlyjmornin? " Dinah said, looking very hand-some and assured as Bho sat her horsewith a rather remarkable ease and grace,and looked her interlocutor straight in theeyes. "Miss Dumaresq has a dog tliat re-minds me of an old friend of the past— '

"Who was called 'Bogey' " interpolatedLorraine, who seemed to be gathering con-fidence from Dinah's quiet assurance and

! Adrian's apparent amiability. "I think| 'Boeey' is a lovely name, much nicer thanj 'Brindle.' I am coing to call him 'Bogey'

I now. 'Bogey,' 'Bogey.' See, he smiles,| and doesn't mind a bit.. 'Bogey,' dear,

j I think you look just like a bogey-dog in-' stead of a bogey man," and she laughed,

j half-nervouslv, half happily, as though| something in the situation excited her.

Adrian was addressing himself to Dinah."May I ask, Miss Vanccourt, are you

related to the rising young barrister ofthat name? I follow cases in the lawcourts with some interest. I was verymuch struck by some of his points in thecase of Lawton versus Bradbury. Hisaddress to the jury was quite a remark-able piece of forensic ability. I said tomyself, as I read that, here was a manof whom we thould learn more."

Dina'n smiled, well pleased. That par-ticular brief had been sent to Hilary byMarshall and Stoddart. He had beensenior in the case, and had scored arather remarkable triumph. Already itteemed to Dinah as though her newly-gained position was helping her brothers,little at- they might be aware of it.

Lorraine was listening, eager-eyed.Adrian looked at her with a smile whichsent a queer little thrill through Dinah'spu'.seß. To her there was something un-canny in this man's aspect.

"Lorraine, suppose you ask Miss Vane-court to come to tea to-morrow afternoon,if she will waive ceremony and do youthe favour." And as the girl's eager,startled, delighted eyes turned uponDinah's fare the smooth voice continued—-"lf you will excuse the informality of theinvitation, I can answer for it that Mrs.Marmol will be very pleased to Fee you.Our little sister does not make manyfriends, and those whom she likes we

should wisli to welcome to our house.My wife was only remarking the otherday that she wished Lorraine had somefriends of her own: that it would begood for her. So if you would do us thisfavour "

,"Wjth all the pleasure in the world,

answered Dinah, fooling that Marcuswould greatly approve this move in thegame. It was more than she had expected.She had been over in her mind thepossibility of getting Lorraine to theDloomsbury house. Now all would beeasy. If she visited the Marmols, Lor-raine would, as a natural sequitur, cometo see her. It- was "good business" allround, as Kenrick's favourite phrase ran.

The pedestrian smiled, raised his hat,and moved on. The riders put theirhorses into a brisk trot. Lorraine's facewas shining, her eyes were like stars.She spoke breathlessly when they werewell away, far out of hearing."Oh! Miss Vanccourt. Why did he

do that? I never, never thought ofsuch a thing! Generally they seem t.okeep me back from knowing anybody."

"Well, they are not going to keepyou from knowing me. So expect meto-morrow afternoon. I have your ad-dress in my head. I live in an o'fashioned house in Blooinebiirv, whichyou must conic and see for yoursolf oneday. I will ask Mrs. Marmol abqlutl,that."

DRAMA OF THE DAY.

It was the Marqnis de Several, thePortuguese Ambassador, who was an inti-mate personal friend of King Edwardm, who has recorded in his reminis-conct*? the remarkable tribute paid to theSistine Choir by the genial ruler. On theoccasion of the visit to London of thecelebrated Viennese Male Choir, KingEdward sent for Hugo Gorlitz, the man-ager, to compliment him on the per-formance. After doing full justice to theViennese singers the sovereign remarked," But no music can ever efface thememory of the Sistine Choir. I considerit the glory of Italy and the envy of theworld." The famous choir, which is nowbooked for a limited tour of New Zea-land, under the auspices of Messrs. E. J.and Dan Carroll, will open its season atthe Wellington Town Hall about June12, and will also visit Christchurch,

Timaru, Dunedin, Palmerston North,Hastings, Napier, Wanganui, Hamilton,and Auckland in that order.

Mr. Dirk Schafer, the Dutch pianist,who made his first appearance at Wig-more Hall, London, recently, is in mostrespects so remarkably fine a pianist thatit is a pity that on oocasions he abuseshis great gifts by "overdoing things,"says a London critic. The Funeral Marchsection of Chopin's famous sonata wasdragged to excess, but Beethoven's "Ap-passionato" more than justified its titleat Mr. Schafer's hands.

Hig Majesty the King attended thetheatre only nine times during the year1921. It may not bo generally knownthat the King always pays for his boxesat the theatre, and always bears thebrunt of the costly commandperformancesat Windsor and Sandringham—which, bytho way, have not been given for severalyears. On rare occasions tho King mayring up his booking agent and order abox at a theatre which happens to be" packed out." The order, rather thandisturb the occupants of tbo boxes, isthen transferred to another night, or can-celled.

Mr. Cyril Maude, whom New Zealandnow regards as an old friend, is appear-ing with a company in vaudeville atHome. He opened at Manchester reeently in " French as She is Spoke." It.is not, apparently, an unqualified success.Too much French and not enough CyrilMaude seems to be the trouble.

"After leaving Australia," Miss 4daReeve said to a Melbourne pressman, "Ishall tour New Zealand, South Africa,Canada, and Great Britain in the ordernamed. That tour will last about fouryears. Then I shall bid farewell to thestage. I intend to settle down to coun-try life—very likely in Australia." MissReeve will arrive here shortly on theFuller circuit.

As to the writing of plays—and " Mr.Pim Passes By" in particular—Mr. A. A.Milne, tho author, remarks, "Once inthe army, what would have been a de-praved proceeding, almost as bad as goingto Lords in the morning, became asolemn duty. Other subalterns playedgolf and bridge to amuse themselves, Iturned playwright in mv spare time forthe same reason." Mr. Milne humorouslydescribes how he set about it. How heand "she" took walks along the byewayson £llO evenings, "where there was 110saluting, and one could smoke a pipewithout shocking tho Duke of Cam-bridge," and here tho five plays includedin the first volume were planned andwritten. Milne admits that the businessof plavwriting is a gamble, and affirmsthat the novelist, even if he is not ip the'' front rank," can at least bo sure ofpublication, while the playwrights can bocertain of nothing save disillusionment.However, the success of at least two ofhis plays, "Belinda" and "Mr. Pirn,"must have changed his opinion.

The death last month in Melbourne ofMadame Boema Steffani, at her home inSouth Yarra, revives memories of onewho a generation ago was held in highesteem in Melbourne as a dramatic so-prano (says the Argus). Born in Prague,Bohtonia, in 1843, Madame Boema, to useher stage name, came to Australia withher parents in November, 1879, after atour of Java, Manila, and the East, withan operatic and concert #>mfany, organ-ised by her husband, M. Steffani, whosurvives her. On her arrival in Mel-bourne, Madame Boema accepted an en-gagement with Mr. W. S. Lister, theimpressario, and appeared in severaloperas. She sang with Trebelli. motherof Antonia Dolores, and Julia Coy,mother of Signorina Coy, in "Don Gio-vanni," "L'Africaine," "Norma," and" Les Huguenots." She afterwards ac-cepted a position on the teaching staff ofthe University Conservatorium, and wasa singer in St. Patrick's Cathedral

The many admirers of Miss Hunter"Watts will regret to learn that, owing tothe continuous strain of playing heavyand exacting roles in Allan Wilkie'sShakespearian Company, she has beenordered by her medical adviser to take animmediate and prolonged rest. She wasto have left Melbourne last month bythe Orvieto for England, staying a monthin Florence with friends, and thence toParis and London. Miss Hunter-Wattswill cambine business with her healthtrip, as during her stay in Italy she willendeavour to buy medieval dress andarmour, and on arrival in England willengage a number of new artists for theAllan Wilkie Company. Mr. Wilkiostates that while Miss Hunter-Watts isabroad her place in the company will befilled by Miss Hilda Dorrington, a youngactress, who recently arrived in Australia,from America. Miss Dorrington's appear-ances in New York included roles in"Anthonv in Wonderland," with Henry"Miller. " Under Pressure,'' a productionwith an all-star cast, and as leadingwoman in "Experience," with ElliottComstock and Guest

A new work, in the larger form, by aBritish composer—Dr. Vaughaii Williams'

Pastoral Symphony"—had the place ofhonour in the lloyal Philharmonic Con-cert Society s programme at Queen's Hall,London, a few weeks ago. The music iseverything that the title implies. Thecomposer woos nature in her calmermoods, and the mirror he holds up tolife has nothing in oommon with thetrick contraptions that distort the ob-jects they reflect. It is the pearly greysof twilight, the roseate hues of dawn,rather than skies of brass and the flamingglories of sunset, that appeal most tohim. If reticent, he is never gloomy ortaciturn. Some of his tunes can only bedescribed as lovely, and their settings ai'onotable for their sobriety and unfailinggood taste. The last section, which in-cludes a theme which was admirablyvocalised by Mies Flora Mann, is parti-cularly charming. The absence of blare,excitement, and racket is particularlywelcome. The work suffers from the re-strictions imposed by the composer. It.is all much of a mood, and a sombre oneat that. Mr. Adrian Boult conducted,and the composer was loudly applauded.

Mine. Bonkovska, " the Turkish primadonna," who made her first appearancein England at the jEolian Hall recently,was born in Constantinople, but is ofPolish descent. She was in the TurkishCourt, and was chosen to enter theharem of a relative of the infamous Sul-tan Abdul Hamid, but fled on her wed-ding eve and entered the realm of song.Mme. Bonkovska has a voice of unde-niable charm, with a ringing resonance,and is a keenly emotional singer.

Miss Audrey Smith, a _ ten-year-oldpianist, gave her second recital at Wig-more Hall, London, a few weeks ago, andrepeated her success of last June. Shehas made remarkable progress since then.Her playing shows innate musicianship aswell as excellent tuition, and there shouldbe a great future for her in the opinionof London critics.

Critics must not compare a singer'svoice with a steam whistle or incite thepublic to make such a demonstration aswill insure that a singer will never singin opera again. At the same time theymust not use language incompatible withthe_ terms proper to a serious criticism ofa singer. Such is the sense of a verdictjust rendered by the French Courts inthe case brought by Agnes Borgo, a -well-known singer in Paris, against JeanPoueigh'and the newspaper Comedia inwhich such criticism appeared. The plain-tiff asked damages to the amount of100,000 francs. The judgment, however,was that the defendants pay all the costsconnected with the litigation and publishthe verdict of tbo Court. The Judge, inhanding down the decision, said thatpersons asking a public verdict on theirartistic efforts must expect the critics toexpress their professional views, but at thesame time they must be protected againstexcessively violent expressions of personalprejudice.

Compositions in " sound and colour"may be a new phase of the theatricalworld in future owing to a remarkableinvention of Major Adrian Klein, whorecently patented a new process of colourphotography. Major Klein was one ofthe experts on camouflage for the WarOffice. Such success has been achievedthat Sir Oswald Stoll is interesting him-self in it. An experimental theatre wasbuilt in the Coliseum to test tho ofliciencyof a model, and exports In stage illumina-tion were astonished at the results. Theoperator of the "colour piano'' sits ata keyboard which controls the projector bymeans of an olectriu cable. There aretwo octaves. Tho upper, played by theright hand, controls the different colours,

while the octave of notes below, playedby the left hand, gives 12 different de-grees of white light- Below these thereare 24 stops and a pedal. When thepedal is depressed the intensity of lightis lowered to zero. The colour-projectingmachine ia a highly-powerful optical in-strument, and to understand its principleone should bear in mind that white lightbroken up into its component partsthrough a prism forms a rainbow of col-ours, familiarly known as the spectrum.Ordinary stage lighting is done by put-ting a coloured celluloid disc over an arclight. This, however, does not givA apure colour; an orange disc, for example,would give a mixture of yellow, red andorange rays. The spectrum is the puresteffect of colour that can be obtained.Major Klein's invention is an arrangementby means of which an intensely brilliantspaetrum is formed, and the bands ofcolour are under control bv the aid of aseries of electrical shutters. Thus anyone of the pure colour bands, as theyemerge from the prisms, can be used, andby a system of powerful lenses the col-ours are projected on to screen or stage.Major Klein showed some effects of theinvention on a series of dancers half ofwhom were dressed in green and half inred, against a black curtain. Undermonochromatic red light the green

dancers would be invisible and the reddancers would appear as if dressed inwhite. With monochromatic green theappearance would bo revorsed. Theoperator, with his piano arrangement, canmnke an infinite variety of gorgeous panto-mime changes.

A comedv, "The Chances," by GeorgeYiflicrs. Duke of Buckingham, last per-formed at Drury Lane in 1808, was revivedrecently at a Shaftesbury theatre matineeby the Phoenix Society. Although itdeals with matters not usually discussed inthese delicate days, it proved, onco itstedious opening was passed, to be a lively,spirited play, full of a vigorous fun, whichaccounts for its frequent revivals duringthe 18th century. Its plot is entertainingand deals wih the complications whichfollow on an evening etroll in Naplesby two young men, one of whom has ababy thrust upon him in tho darkness andthe other a lovely lady in distress. Whenat length the lady and baby are aboutto be restored, further troubles arise bythe introduction of another lady of thegame name but very different character.The audience—a selected one—seemed toasree with the verdict of Samuel Pepys,who declared, "The whole play pleases

THE WORLD'S MUSIO."Is this the world?" said Crinkleface

slowly unfolding her exquisite pansy petalsof purple velvet.

"Well, fair friend, it's a beautiful cor-ner of it anyway," cried a merry bumblebee as he buzzed over the pansy bed.

"I hate comers," said Crinkleface dis-contentedly ; " I'm far too lovely to stay,in a corner.""Dear lady," said the bee, " you are

very happy with the smiling faces of yourlittle brother and sister pansies roundyou. Do not wish to leave your peacefulcorner; you may see some sad sights ifyou go out into the world."

It Happened that the owner of tho gar-den, a man with kind blue eyes, was pass-ing just then. And he stooped to pickCrinkleface, 'the only purple flower in thebed of yellow blossoms.

He placed her carefully in his button-hole. ""Now I'm truly going to see theworld!" said she, as she snuggled downcomfortably to enjoy the peaty smell ofthe man's Harris tweed coat. Mr. But-torshaw sauntered into the house, and upinto the nursery. A little fair-hairedbov, whom Crinkleface had often seen inthe garden, was sitting on tho floor look-ing very cross with quantities of expen-sive, toys strewn round him.

" You seem to have everything to makeyou happy, Basil," said Mr. Buttershaw.

"But. I'm tired of this old nursery,daddy. Take me somowhere quite new,where I've never been before."

" Very well, Bon, put on your cap andcoat," was the reply.

And in a few minutes the big man with'tho kind blue eyes and pansy buttonholewas walking down the road towards townwith his little boy.

fly and bye, they turned into a verynarrow dirty street, such as Basil hadnever seen before, and he kept very closeto his father.

At last they entered a very wretchedlooking house; the door stood wide openand they climbed up a steep dark stair-case.

Almost at the top Mr. Buttershavrpaused and knocked at the dooT. A weak,childish voice cried " Come in."

The room was not at all dirty, but quitethe barest little room he had ever seen.There was very little furniture in it atail, and certainly no toys. A white-facedlittle boy about his own age was lying ina queer broken-down bed under a ratherragged patchwork counter-pane.

"Music! Music!" he cried, and hi»eyes shone

Basil, never shy long, walked up to thebed.

"What is your name," he asked."Paul Clifton,"" Why don't you get up?""I can't walk.""Can't walk!" said Basil; "when will

"Never," came the startling reply.This was almost too much for Basil.

This is really dreadful I fear I shalldie," she said; " oh, why did I ever wantto leave my happy corner in the garden?"

The neat minute, however, she felt akiss from lips almost as soft aa her ownvelvety petals, and a weak voice said,"Oh, you little darling princess flower!"

" And yes! It. almost seemed worthwhile to Have lived for this," thoughtCrinkleface.

SCIENCE and INVENTIONS.CANNOT BOIL OVER.

The peculiar construction of a, recentlypatented cooking vessel makes it impos-sible for it to boil over or burn the con-tents., The bottom has a stee! jacketwhich holds the heat long after the gasis turned out. When cooking food comesto the boiling point, water will run upthrough the perforations, but back throughthe centre hole which is in reality a float.

STEEL DIRECT FROM ORE,

A kiln which will form part of a re-volving furnace, weighing in all 400 tons,has been sent to Hull for shipment toFrance. It is part of the installationwhich French metallurgists claim willturn iron-ore into steel without interme-diary processes. The kiln, which wasmanufactured in Sheffield, was taken toHall by a special train of 29 wagons.It is one of four now under construc-tion.

PALM'S RAPID GROWTH.

The bis Brazilian cocoa-nut palm in theNew York Botanical Garden acquired theglass breaking habit. Although the cen-tral dome in the conservatories is 90 feethigh, the ambitious palm has several timespoked its head through the top. Takinginto consideration tho hiyh cost of glassand labour, this expensive habit had tobe checked, and the verdict was decapi-tation for the tree. It had previously, out-grown its quarters in the Central Parkgreenhouses.

ARTIFICIAL STOiSE.

A British patent for a new artificialstone specifies nearly equal ]arts of por-celain or faience refuse, powdered pipeclav and crashed glass as-suitable ma-terials. These are raised with water andplaced in a mould, the bottom of whichis covered with the glass. Pressure isapplied, and the mixture then heated to900 or 1200 degrees. The result is anartificial stone, marble-like and with aglazed surface. Various colours are easilypossible.

STANDARD METRE LENGTHENS.

In 1889 20 nations decided to take theirstandard of length from a platinum scale;now France, the jealous guardian of thispiece of metal, is alarmed to find that ithas lengthened by a demimicron, or iive-millionths of a metre. The only explana-tion available is that the annual cleaningof the bar may have been responsible fordisplacing the platinum molecules. It wilibe carefully watched for tho next tenyears, and the cleaning may have to beabandoned.

ORCHID FACTS.

It has been wrongly assumed that or-chids are parasites drawing their susten-ance from the trees to which they fasten.Really, they live almost entirely upon air.The development of these fantastic flowershas lately received a great impetus inAmerica, due to the law requiring im-ported stock to be used only for propa-gating now* plants, and improving oldvarieties, instead of being sold outright.King Leopold of Belgium probabiy didmore than any ether man in the develop-ment and culture of orchids.

DESTROYER TO FLY.A "destroyer with wings" is the de- |

AUTOMATIC S.O.S.

Tests for substituting automatic wirelesssignals at sea for S.O.S. signals havebeen so successful that it is produtedthat the familiar S.O.S. soon will disap-pear. The tests, which have been entirelysatisfactory within a radius of 100 miles,are now being made over longer distances.The principle is an automatic signal with ia four second beat repeated three times,instead of using the old Morse code. Thebeat, when given on a sinking ship, ringsan alarm bell or. vessels within reach insuch a, way that it is really an automaticalarm. The important advantage overthe S.O.S. is that it won't enter othersignal combinations and cause confusion.Ten vessels are already equipped withthe new alarm and twenty-five more arebeing fitted. The vessels are in differentfleets in order to conduct experiments inthe widest possible range Two stations—North Foreland and Xit-dn, 00 the Isleof Wight—will be fitted up with thealarm system,

PILOTLESS WARSHIP.A boat built by the French Navy during

the war was controlled from an airplane.The construction of the control mechan-ism i.s described in a note appearing in arecent issue of Electric World. This boatwhs patterned after a tierman pilotlessboat which attacked a French pier. TheGerman boat was driven bv a gasoline

and electrically controlled by meansof vi 30-mile one-conductor cable. Theboilt contained two gasoline motors suchas i.re used on zeppelins, operating twin-screw propellers capable of giving the boata top speed of 40 knots per hour. Sevendistinct operations of the engine and therudder could be performed by means ofthe remote electric, control. The con-trol was essentially bv means of

a ratchet mechanism, a different numberof rachot impulses corresponding to cer-tain actions uf the boat. A small gaso-line-electric generator :et, and a storage-battery furnish,hl the energy for th?operation of the different motions. Aspecial time rjlay was in series with eachof the seven distinct positions, so thatevery one of the different operations wasexecuted only alter the contact-makingrac.het mechanism stopped for a certainminimum time on a given position. Incase of imminent danger to the boat aneighth position of the contact apparatuswas provided for the self-destruction ofthe boat by ignition of its own charge.

TELEPHONE MESSAGE RECORDER.Bottling up a telephone message untilthe person rung up has returned to the

office or house has become a possibilityby the combination of an invention ofPoulsen, the famous wireless telephonepioneer, and a wireless valve. If a tele-phone call is made and the person wantedis not available, a simple recording in-strument can be set in motion and a mes-sage dictated that can be repeated at anytime later. The Poulsen teiegraphone, in-vented many years ago, is a device inwhich a telephone message can be im-pressed upon a movini? steel ribbon bymeans of magnetic action. When the rib-bon has_ run through a simple reproduc-ing device it repeats the message, butso feebly that the invention was aban-doned. An instrument has now boon con-structed by a man named A. Naearisch-wilv with which the reproduced sound canbe amplified to any degree of loudness bythe use of one of the valves now employ-ed universally in wireless reception. Thesteal wire or ribbon, with its magneticmessage, can be removed from the in-strument and sent by post and the mes-sage reproduced in any other instrument,and permanent records can be made ofspeeches and so on. The inventor claimsthat a message or signal may bo spokenfrom a >train into a railway lino and re-ceived by the driver of the train follow-

The earlier in the autumn this woik isperformed the better, since the longer thenew, roughly turned-tip surface is expose!to the ameliorating influences of the sunand air, the greater will be the imple-ment in its condition generally. Trench-ing invariably deepens and improves theland, particularly in kitchen gardens,where cropping has been done year afteryear without intermission. By continu-ally digging over the surface the depthof the spade, and frequently less, thegarden forms a hard pan, and tlie samesoil is made use of for successive crops.No matter how well this may he manuredit naturally becomes unfit to produce thegood results that it formerly yielded.When the soil has got in this condition,trenching must bo resorted to—the dee)>ei'the better—in order to loosen the sub-soil. By deep trenching is meant twospades and a shovelling, and looseningthe hard bottom with a fork. Where theunderneath soil is of fairly good qualityit should always be brought to the topand the original surface turned down. Butin all instances judgment must be exer-cised and the quality of the sub-soilstudied. To bring poor, stiff clay to thesurface would be harmful, and render thefuture working both difficult and expen-sive where tho surface soil is only aboutthe depth of the spade. With an unsuit-able subsoil the latter should only hoforked up and not brought to tho top.

Method of Trenching.The following instructions will he of

service to those who have had no prac-tical experience in trenchingAs re-gards beginning to trench a plot ofground, the soil for about the widUi of2ft. to 2Jft. should be dug out twospades deep along the other end, andwheeled to the other end, where it is in-tended to finish. Tho depth that shouldbo taken out will, of course, vary accord-ing to the nature of the subsoil. If thisis unfit to bring to the surface, it shouldbe dug or forked over and left beneath.Next mark out another strip or width,and turn the top spit over to replace thatt&iten away, the bottom, in its turn, beingtreated like the first, and so on. Whenthe soil is good enough to allow of thobottom spit being brought to the top,the first trench must be taken out to thefull depth, and the bottom broken up-In manuring be careful that the manureis not placed more than 9in. at the mostbeneath the surface. It is a mistake tobvirv the manure at the bottom of thetrench, where it remains, and is of littlebenefit to the rrop that may be put in.After the plot has been trenched andallowed to fallow for a while, a liberaldressing of lime, lightly forked in, will bebeneficial, and will render it more friable.Make an annual practice of trenching aportion. By this means the work is notso heavy, and the whole area will in Cfenobe treated.

The Flower Beds and Borders,

In old gardens, too, the soil often be-comes dead and lacks humus. Conse-quently results are most disappointing,notwithstanding liberal applications ofartificial and stable manures. When thesoil is in this condition, as many of theplants as possible should be taken outand heeled in separately, and tho groundproperly treated as described above. Toprovide humus and add nitrogen, thetrenched portions should be sown down ina green crop, to be dug under in theearly spring. For this purpose prairiegrass is one of the best-. It gjows wellthroughout the winter, forms a mass offibrous roots, prevents the heavy winterrains from battering the surface and,when dug under, is a good fertiliser andkeeps the soil free- Oats, vetches, andlupins are suitable crops for sowing anddigging wider during the spring. Treat-ing portions of tho flower garden in thismanner may be unsightly, but it isnecessary to renew the soil in very oldgardens. Tlie other alternatve "re to pro-cure good, fibrous bam and leaf ruboishto incorporate with the original soil.

Bouvardias.The different varieties of bouvardias

are now about at their best. For the pro-duction of a continuous supply of flowersfoi several months in successon, and wellinto the winter, when other floweringplants are scarce, these charming peren-nials are invaluable. They are of easycultivation, and when properly establishedthey may be grown for years in thesame place, without being renewed orremoved, all that is required being goodcultivation of the soil around them, and'a liberal manuring at least once a year.The old plants must be also out wellback during the early spring, before theycommence their fresh growtn. This treat-ment of hard pruning is essential, inorder to produce nice, bushy, well-furnished and floriferous plants. For bou-quets, buttonholes, etc., bouvardias areinvaluable, and the more they are cutfrom the better the plants succeed Thereis a number of lovely varieties. Someproduce beautifullly-snaped daslle flowers,others single. Two of the sorts aredeliciously fragrant.

Cinerarias.Now is a suitable time to plant cine-

rarias for spring flowers. They requirethe soil to be fairly rich, and to beplanted where they are not subject toheavy frosts. They succeed well beneaththe shade of overhanging trees whichform a protection from frosts, .'and alsodo well grown upon sloping banks andin the rockery. A bank with a northerlyaspect is most suitable, presenting abrilliant appearance when the plants arein full flower.

Primroses and Other Edging Plants,

The present is a most suitable time forplanting the different varieties of plantsthat are utilised for borders, such aspolyanthus, primroses, violets, etc., andalso for taking up, dividing, and replant-ing those that require a change of soiland renewing. Violets have done ex-ceedingly well this year, abundance ofmoisture at frequent intervals has keptthem free from thrips and red spider.They are deep-rooting plants, and requireplenty of manure. Box edgings may belaid any time. Cuttings should be care-fully made and properly inserted andarranged about 2in. apart and about 3in.deep, against a properly out-out back.When well-trodden to firm the soil aroundthem they then strike readily.

Any large shrubs that are intended tobo transplanted should be prepared bydigging out a trench around them, vary-ing the distance from the stem in accord- ia nee with the height of the plant, and ]cutting some of the large roots andslightly heeling the plant over to cut theunderneath roots. Afterwards refill thetrench, at the same time well treadingthe soil. About the middle of June theplant will be ready for removal to itsnew quarters. The term wrenching orcutting the roots, checks the flow of sap)and the returning sap causes fresh fibrousroot-action. ' |

KITCHEN GARDEN.The ground in which seeds have been

recently sown will need to be caret, ilvlooked over, as the exceptionally heavyrains experienced during thoearly parts ofthe week may have washed much of theseeds from the soil. This is es-pecially likely to occur in undulat-ing lands, many cases smalltrenches being formed, so that much ofthe seed, and even small plants, arewashed away. Where this has taken place,the soil, as( soon as it is sufficiently diyto be worked, should be loosened up, andfresh seed sown to complete the rows. Insuch weather, too, cabbage, cauliflower,and other established jflants are liable tobecome loosened by the havy rains andwinds, puddles and holes often beingformed around the neck of the plants. Insuch cases the plants should bo straight-ened, the holes filled up, and tho soilmade firm around the plants. The soil be-tween all growing crops should he loosenedimmediately the surface is dry enough towork. While a loose surface is at alltimes neocssary to ensure healthy growth,it is doubly essential after such a heavydrenching rain.

In the sowing of crops an effort shouldbe made to rotate the crops as much as,possible, ks iS tha game kind oi sege-

table is grown in the tamo place yearafter year the amount of manure requiredto make anything like .a good return i?very large. The expense thus entailedcould be very imtr-li nvhed by a carefulsystem of rt tal;< a. L'« rtainly no hardand fast, rule can lw> laid down, as some

THE CREENEOUSE.Tuberous begonias and other summer-flowering bulbous, and tuberous plantsgrowing ih pots will DOW need careful at.tention. To preserve thefa bulbs andtubers in a sound condition, the greatestcare must be e.tercLc«d in watering duringtlie autumn or until they are quite dorraant. As soon as the plants show signsof decay water must be sparingly appliedand the plants given onlv suflicent to pre-vent the taps from wilting. As soon' astlie tops drop away naturally from thepulb watering should ccaso and the bulbsintheir pots should bo stored away, 01l adry sheU, or the pots can be turned ontheir sides under the bench or m anyplace, tbt is free from drips. b£o2which have been planted in the open bedsor borders should not be disturbed nnulUie tops di° away The bulbs should thenbe carefully lifted, and when dry shouldbe placed in drj- sand and stored wherethoy will be free from drips. Other floor-

ing plants needed to take their pla,„should have special attention. Primula*kept over from last season should be ro-potted and poshed on for early flowerin-'iheso year-old plants, ii carefully treatedwill come into flower early and producea profusion of flowers until tlie youngerplants come in. When potting removeall old or damaged foliage and keep thecrowns well down in the soil. By thismeans the plants root freely from the oldcrowns, quickly become established, amiflower freely. Use plenty of drainage jntqo bottom of tho pots. Good drainage,though at all times essential, is especiallyneceisary in the growing of autumn andwinter flowers. After potting place tlieplants in a gool frame or in a shady partof the greenhouse near the glass. Youngerplants should be potted in from lime totime as they advance in growth, thoughover-potting must be avoided. The plantsshould be kept in a 000 l frame until thevaro well established.

Early -sown cinerarias required for in-door decoration should dow bo makinggood growth, and must bo potted fromtime to time as required. The secret ingrowing these successfully ia to keep themgrowing freely from the time the plant*are raised until they come into flower.The plants succeed best in a moist, 000 lframe until they commence to show theirflower stems, when they can be removedto tho greenhouse. The green aphis issometimes troublesome, as it attacks theyoung tender foliage. By careful atten-tion, however, it can be easily kept undercontrol by means of spraying the under-side of tho leaves with a weak solution ofblack leaf 40, Chrysanthcmrajs in potsare now rapidly developing their flowers,and will be benefited by an occasional ap-plication of liquid manure. Where largoflowers are wanted, disbudding must badone. In almost every instance very manymore buds are produced than are requiredto furnish the plants with flowers, and bythe removal of superfluous buds muchlarger and more perfect flowers are pro-duced. Cyclamens are among the mostuseful and interesting winter-floweringplants for greenhouse decoration, andshould have evory attention. Their beautyand singuarlity of form mako themuniversal favourites. When well grow:they come' Into flower very early, andmay with reasonable care be had in blownthroughout the wholo winter months.

FORTHELADIES.EASTER EGGS.

All eggs used 'or culinary purposesbefore Laster should be " blown ' insteadof broken in the usual way. The formermethod necessitates only a small holebeing mado and leaves the shell almostperfect. Such shells can be treated in anumber of ways which will be attractiveto both big and small children.

Little trouble is required to turn thoempty egg shells int.- amusing figures—-tliere can be a sailor, a soldier, a humpty-dumptv, a baby, and other well-known(haracters. Just sketch appropriate fea-tures on tho (n-dla and gum on headgearrui'-do from odds and ends in the rag bag.Two stumpy flat-looted cardboard legsshould be gummed on to thu other endof the shell, care being taken to adjustthings so that the little figures balanceproperly. A similar idea is to tnrn allthe shells into flower fairies, colouring thoshells leaf green and fixing spring flowersmade of crinkled paper capwise on to thetop of the eggs.

Boiled e£gs are the best breakfast dishfor Easter, and fun can be had by col-ouring the eggs and inscribing them withappropriate mottoes, such as :

"The ess of blueMeans lovers few."

"Good hick is in sightF.t who takes the ens of white."

"Yon'!! marry in another town1: you draw the egg of brown."

"C.'.wi'y t:.ke jhe egy of green,Good fortune follows it, 1 ween."

Oidinarv dyes can bo used for colour-ing tho eggs, and if the motto is writtenon the shell with melted wax before boil-ing, the words will stand out whiteagainst the coloured ground.

ORIGIN OF HOT CROSS BUNS.

Hot cross buns date back to tho four-teenth century, when the Church was farstricter m the matter of fasts than sheis now. Bome say they were consecratedloaves given as alms in the church dur-ing Passion Week or on Good Friday.

Another idea is Wat during PassionWee-k only a small amount of Dread wasauowed to be eaten, and this was markedoff in the dough by two lines to show thebreadth and length. These loaves were!* !d lu small churches and carried by pil-grims from plaee to place, so the customof (Tossing the bread used on Good Fridayarose, and us still continued in tho formof hot cross buns.

The following is a good recipe for thesebuns : —lib. of flour, of sugar, 2oz.R.i- h of lard and butter, of currants,Joz. of tornpressed yeast, 1 gill of luke-warm milk, 1 level spoonful of mixedspire, j teaspoonful of salt. Sieve theflour, salt, and spice, rub in the lardand butter, make a well in the centre.Beat the yeast to a cream, add the luke-warm milk gradually, pour this into thewell in the flour, arid gradually work inthe flour, adding a little more warmmilk if the mixture appears too dry. Itshould be smooth and' pliable, but notsticky. Beat well, cover the basin witha cloth, and leave it in a warm place forthe dough to rise for about one hour anda half. Take up, add the sugar andcleaned currants, mix well : shape thedough into rounded be.is, place them ona greased floured tin, mark each with across with the back of a knife, and leavein a warm place to rise for about fifteenminutes. Bake in quick oven about fif-teen minutes. Brush over with milk ormilk and sugar, and leave in the ovena minute or two longer.

FACTS ABOUT EASTER.

The word " Easter" comcs from" Eastre " a goddess in honour of whom afestival ra celebrated in April. Easteris the most ancient feast in observance.The presentation of coloured eggs tofriends seems to have arisen in Russia,from which country it was introducedin the olden days. Id England, at onetime, "Easter offerings," or "dues," con-sisted of money paid to parish clergy atEaster.

Bv "Act of Parliament, 24th, Geo. 11.,c., 23, B Easter Sunday is " the first Sun-day after the full moon, which happensupon or next after the 21st day of March,and if full moon happens to be upon aSunday, East--, Day is the Sunday after."

In Germany, hares, according to super-stition, are transformed at Easter-timeinto egg-laying animals. In the oldendays, wa are told, hares, modelled in

were to be seen in pastrycooks'at Eastertide. They were

usually in a nest, sitting upright, andsurrounded by eggs.

Fire has played a prominent part inmany Easier celebrations in differentcountries. Especially in the East do thepeople believe m what, is called "TheMiracle of the Easter Fire "—a ceremonyof elaborate character. It is confined tothe Greek and other Eastern churches,and takes place each Easter in Jerusalem,The pilgrims actually believe that thefire is sent down from heaven.

EASTER DISHES.

The .modern dish for Easter, compassedif tie festival falls late, is duck andgreen peas, but our English forefathersnever failed.to make the first item on theirEaster menu a red herring "on horse-back," says an English correspondent.The effect was obtained by the cook ar-ranging the herring on its tail in a cornsalad.

In rural England the custom still ob-tains of having a piece of baoon forEaster. Few know that this Easter dishhas a special significance, and that itsorigin goes back for centuries.

"Tansy cakes" are still made and eatenat Easter, in the North especially, and al-though some would connect these cakeswith the religious symbolism of Eister,yet (as an old writer has recorded) theirreal purpose was a medicinal one—tansybeing an excellent corrective for &dn dis-orders arising from the enforced eatingof fisjj during the forty days of Lent.

In parts of Ireland it was once—andthe custom still lingers—the practice fortEe housewife to prepare Easter's feaston the Saturday, but woe unto anyonewho, however well they had fasted duringLent, ventured to partake of any of thedainties until the cock had crowed onEaster morn!

In a remcfte village in the Brid valley,the writer was given radishes with hisEaster morning breakfast. A most curiouscoincidence, this, because in an old bockof the 17th. century, perused the nightbefore, he had read that " those whosat of Radishes cm the morn of Easternhall have no quartan ague for a wholeTear."

THE HOME.

EASTER FARE.

Roast Duck.—Truss tho duck, fill withsage and onion stuffing, dredge with flourand roast. Serve with good brown gravyand apple sauce. Roast for one houi,unless the bird is old.

Roast Goosp.—Before cooking the goosebaste it well with hot dripping, andwhen basting it afterwards prick wellround the legs and wings to allow someof the fat to run out. A goose weighingabout ten pounds will require at leasttwo hours. The body is usually filledwith onion stuffing. A savoury puddingwill be found an economical addition tothe usual accompaniments of brown gravyand apple sauce.

OookiDg Old Fowls,—An old bird—

which might bo almost uneatable ifroasted in the ordinary way —will bofound quite tender if previously gently jsimmered in seasoned water in a casse-role, or braised on a layer of vegetables—-the last barely covered with water in asaucepan. In neither case should any ;steam be allowed to escape from thovessel. The bird mav be stuffed in theusual way, and should be basted with hotdripping before being roasted for half anhour in a hot oven after stewing orbraising.

Fish and Tomato Pie. —Take any re-mains of cooked fish, flake it, removingall skin and bone, and mix it with somewhite sauce. Butter a pie-dish, plaee alayer of the fish in it, next a layer ofbreadcrumbs, then a layer of tomatoescut into slices, with a very little finelyi hopped onion, then more breadcrumbs, |fish, etc., until the dish, is full. Have |plenty of white sauce- If preferred, the |top layer may be of mashed potatoes, iBake for about twenty minutes. j

Fish Ore&m.—Any flaky white fish will :do. Cook the fish by boiling for about !20 minutes. Take out the bones and 1separate the flakes; add pepper and salt,and a few drops of lemon juice. And toevery of fish allow 4 tablespoonfuls iof butter, 2 of flour, and a pint of milk, {and a small onion. Melt the butter in a ,pan; add the flour with a wooden spoon |till perfectly blended, and cook for a j

jfew minutes. Then add the milk gradtt- !ally, and the onion, sliced. Boil for 3 !minutes, stirring all the time. Pour the jsauce over the flaked fish, arranged on a |hot dish; sprinkle well with butteredcrumbs, and bake in a hot oven for abouthalf-an-hour.

Salmon Pie—To make it, flake the con-tents of a pound tin of salmon, thenmelt an ounce of butter in a saucepan,and stir gradually into it three-nuartersof an ounce of flour. Cook together forfive minutes, but do not allow it tobrown. Then dissolve two teaspoonfulsof condensed milk in half a pint of waterand add this gradually to the flour andbutter, stirring all the time till a smooth,moderately thick sauce is the result.Season with salt, pepper, and a teaspoon-ful of lemon juice. Now take four boiledpotatoes and mash them with a littlebutter and 6eason to taste. Lastly, gTeasoa pint and a half pie-dish, place thoflaked salmon in it. Pour the sauce overit and arrange the potatoes as a crust-Bake in the oven till lightly browned. i

Bacon Rolls-—Half pound of mashedpotatoes, one and a half ounce of

butter, four ounces of flour, one teaspoon-ful of baking powder, salt, one thinrasher of bacon for each person, water.Mix the flour, pinch of salt, and bakingpowder, rub in the butter, add thepotatoes, and mix well. Make into a stiffpaste with a little cold water or milk,flour a board and pin, and roll out aquarter of an inch thick. Cut intolengths about four inches long and twoand a half wide. Remove the rind andrust from the bacon, and place a rasheron each strip of pastry. Roll up, brushover with milk, put on a greased bakingsheet, and bake about fifteen to twentyminutes in a quick oven. Serve hot,

GLEANING JET.Now that jet has become one of the

most fashionable of feminine adornments,the following hint for cleaning it will befound very useful, for it restores theoriginal lustre. Brush the ornamentswith a soft brush so that all dust is re-moved before placing the articles in abasin containing equal parts of water andTinegar. Allow them to remain in thissolution for thirty minutes, and after re-moving dry with a soft, clean cloth.

PRINCESS MARY AS SOCIETYLEADER.

There is at present much speculationas to what the establishment of PrincessMary at Chesterfield House will meanto society (says a London exchange).Many of the Princese' young friends are

that she will initiate a newregime, in which brilliant entertainingwill play an important part. She has,of course, so far lived very much in theshade of her Royal parents. As ayoung married woman, with societyhoping for her to take the position ofleader, she may decide to do manywonderful things.

On one point especially the Princesswill probably encourage a fashion whichhas already set in. Like the Queen, shetakes the greatest interest in old andbautiful furnitura and china. Manytreasures with a history have beenbought for Chesterfield House since theengagement to Viscount Lascelles wasfirst announced, and it is quite possiblethat the manner in which the Princesschooses to arrange her London home mayhave a very definite effect on the historyof English furniture.

It would be an interesting result ifartists and designers, stimulated by thePrincess' love of beautiful things, shouldinitiate designs with which PrincessMary's name might become associated.

Contrary tio yganera] belief, PrincessMary has not an overwhelming interestin the domestic arrangements of a home.Domestic science she had to learn as avery young girl, but she was interestedmore as a matter of duty than becauseher personal tastes leant in that direc-tion. The graces and refinements whichmodern life offers will by no means beneglected by the Princess when she isinstalled in her own home in Mayfair.

AUTUMN FASHIONS.

Black and beige make a charming com-binatic.-i when used for wrap-coats, or, infact, any garment has an air of distinc-tion when the pale putty colour is usedin conjunction with black, says an Englishexchange. A jumper blouse of blackpanne had beige ninon sleeves. And,speaking of coat-wraps recalls ono of thegreat sartorial triumphs which cannot failto influonco dress of the future, and thatis the introduction of lace used in placeof fur. This charming novelty mode hasbeen started by a. Viennese costumier,who is making elegant coat-wraps of blacksatin-charmeuse, trimming the same withdeep hems, wide-bottomed sleeves, andloil collars, of black lace of somewhatheavy design. A large black luce muffto match completes a toilette of this typewhich, worn with one of the new blacksatin hats made with a lace brim of fan-shaped laee trimmings, looks exceedinglysmart. Dyed lace is also being used forthis purpose; a theatre wrap of extremeelegame made of pale grev duvetyn iscollared and hemmed with grev dyedlace that has it s beauty heightened by anembroidery of small steel beads.

Beads lor Trimming.Beads are going to be worn more than

ever during the coming season. Noveltyfrom Paris is beaded gabardine. One of

' the most charming and up-to-date modelsi is a dress of navy-blue gabardine showing

tho latest crossover bodice and skirt,, 'the " envelope " drapery of which is em

broideied all over in single moonlight-coloured beads that produce a prettypmhead pattern. Black crepe georgette

I frocks worked on tiny jetted motifs areI also being worn. Jersey cloth frocks

! worked in aluminium, steel, Or gold beads,| all of the smallest size, are already being

worn. For evening wear the sequin andbeaded tunic is to be found in every

i guise. The prettiest and most luxurious| are those that are worked in shaded coralI which is massed together with great

' effect. Sewn on to a foundation of un-j tearable tulle and worn over a slip found-

ation of sheer cloth of silver or cloth of' gold, it is astonishing how handsome a

| gown of coral can be, 'the deep and theI light tones of pink and red blending in; admirable effect. Little coatees, and| some fascinating new evening jumpers arej also to be found carried out in mother o'j pearl sequins, or the new pearl and crystalembroidery. These are counted muchsmarter now than tho rather gaudy-look-ing coloured sequin coats, which have hadtheir day. and which are now beingsuperseded bv coatees made of pale-coloured crepe georgette lined with acontrasting coloured chiffon. These coatsare worked all over with prettv stripeddesigns of floral head work that reintro-duce the pompadour patterns of yesterday.

Suede Hats.Little hats just now are simple in de-

sign but immensely chic; close fitting,free from exaggeration, comfortable as anaviator's helmet. And many of them aremade of glove kid—in black, white andbright colour. Glove kid and peau dosuede arc easily first favourites as millin-ery materials. They are combined withfeit, satin or velvet, but one almost al-ways finds the touch of soft leather pres-ent somewhere. One much-liked fashionis for a hat of leather cut out in a pat-tern to show a coloured satin below, inthe stencilled style. One smart littlemodel was designed by a Paris man-milliner. whose word is law. Of blackand white, it had a bunch of floatingribbons—black, with a white picot border;and at the right side, tumbling over thenarrow brim, a gorgeous puce-pink rosemade of silk and velvet. One got theimpression that the rose had been thrownat the hat by some ardent admirer, andthat it had become attached in somemysterious way.

TAR ON SHOES.

Under the action of the hot sun thetar on the footpaths becomes very soft.In this state it sticks freely to the shoes,and ig unhappily not always confined tothe soles. In the case of light shoesthe damage to the uppers may bo quiteserious. Tar will not yield to ordinarywashing, but may be cleaned away withwarm milk. The fresher the milk thebetter, and it should not be much morethan just off the chill. Dabble the milkover the spot, leave it for a while, andthen press clean blotting paper on. Ifthe action of the milk is somewhat slowit is sure, and by repeating the operationall traces of the tar can be taken away.It is better to avoid rubbing, as this willdrive the tar into the leather. Wheretar hae been carried on to carpets it maybe removed with milk. j

MEDICAL NOTES.PREVENTING SUNBURN,

There are some fortunate human beingsfor whom " petting sunburnt" meansnothing more than getting more or Jessbecomingly tanned. There are others forwhom the possession of thin, sensitiveskins makes sunburn a matter, not onlyof unsightly appearance, but also of sheerphysical torture. In such cases the greatthing to remember is to treat the skin"before exposing to the sun or sea-air.Any good toilette cream applied thicklyto the face and neck beforehand, will pro-tect the skin from sunburn. As far asthe body is concerned, the nicest thing

j for the purpose is olive oil, lonoline, orvaseline. But it is well to remember thatany kind of clean kitchcn grease willanswer as well. The grease should bewhat cooks call " rendered" before it isused for anointing the skin. The processof " rendering" is quite simple. Put al!the fat, broken up small, into a basin,I'our boiling water over it, and let itsUnd till cold. Then take off fie cakethat lias formed, scrape off all the im-purities that have sunk to the underside,empty the waUr away, and, breaking upthe fat again, repeat the process. If you

| don't mind the time and trouble, theI grease will be all the belter for being

' rendered'' thus three times, instead oftwice. It is not necessn y to rub it onthickly—a very thin coa'.ing is all that isrequired. After this the greased surfaceshould be well dusted with FullersEarth. This prevents the legs greasingeverything they touch; it keeps the greasefrom being rubbed off quickly; and it alsoserve8 as a great protection from theburning action of the sun and sea air.It is often forgotten that exposure to theair—especially sea air—during a long day'souting will burn the skin considerably,even if the sun is not shining. It wouldbe a good thing to apply the above pro-cess to face, neck, and arms, as well aathe legs, when spending a summer at theseaside or in the country. Grown-ups canuse it with equally good effect.

SICK NTJBSING.The placing of pillows is one of the

most important factors for the comfortof the sick folks—the misery of the feel-ing of a broken back, the twisted neck,and strained muscles is very hard to putup with. All these may be relieved byan understanding way'of placing thepillows. Tidy pillows are seldom com-fortable; pillows placed one on top of theother, straight up, aro quite hopeless forcomfort or rest. That part of ouranatomy between the ribs and sacrumis a very troublesome and tired spot, andsupport there is most comforting. Some-times a rolled-up draw-sheet, smallblanket, or small pillow will give relief.When patients are turned upon theirsides the top of the shoulders oftenpresses upon the underneath pillow andmakes rest impossible. When the patientis sitting up in bed the elbows hangheavily; then pillows placed at the sidesof the patient, for the arms and handsto rest upon, are such a comfort.

Rest for the Patient.The constant slipping down of .thepatient and the heavy lifting up againthat is so trying to tho nurse may all

be done away with by corrcotly placinga pillow under the knees. The pillowsshould be fastened round half a oroom-handle or a wa!kin»;-stick, a strong holdershould be fastened to each end of thestick, and fastened to each head-post ofthe bedstead. It is most simple tomanage, and then with pillows under thearms it is like sitting up ia » comfort-able armchair, anfl all the slipping isover. A little pijlow should bo placedbetween the knees and one at Ifce feet toprevent pressure—toes get very sensitiveif pressed upon overlong. A chair ortable at the side of tho bed, with acouple of pillows for the patient to restupon and a box for the feet to rest uponat the same time gives relief and rest. Atable and pillow at the side of the bedso that the patient may rest his arms outquite straight, or a bed table piled upwith pillows in front of the patient/willgive rest very often. A strong bandagefastened to the front of the bed andwithin reach of the patient often enableshim to change his position. A bellor a stick to knock with should be within

of the patient at all times.

THE LAWS OF HEALTH,Most of :he " diseases" we suffer from

are, when all is said and done, merelynames given to a particular group ofsymptoms. They are not separate anddistinct entities, but merely signs whichthe body displays when one or other ofall its parts for some reason or other isnot working satisfactorily. By calling acondition "rheumatism" or "dyspepsia,"we have merely imposed a label, which,though it may satisfy our sense of defi-nition, does not necessarily bring us anynearer to the causes which givenrise to the condition so described. Suchlabels are merely words, and the dangerof their too ready application is that theyso often tend to obscure tho root causesof the troubles they set out to define.Tho cause of the vast majority of thoailments from which people suffer to-daylie s directly in failure to observe certainsimple, yet inexorable, laws. Suchfailure may be tho result of ignoranceor of the press of circumstances whichmakes their practice difficult. And whenignorance of now to live is combined withcircumstances that make it almost impos-sible to livo soundly, small wonder if theills of life become pronounced.

Exercise the First Essential.Let us deal, first of all, with that

frequent exhortation. " take all the out-door exercise jou can." It is based,primarily, upon the fact that man is anactive animal, and not a limpet. Hisphysiologic.il make-up is that of an activeanimal, and, if it is to function sweetly,must be regulhrly exercised. He is en-dowed with muscles which not only en-able him to move from place to place-that is but a means to an end—but whosemovement involves other important activi-ties as well. The movement of hismuscles links on directly to other of hisphysiological functions. Muscular move-ment generates heat; heat is produced bythe burning up of materials stored in themuscles, which are replenished by thefood he eats. Thus we see a very directconnection between exercise and appetiteand digestion. Flabby muscles, on theother hand—that is. muscles that, fromlack of exercise, have lost their tone—-are unable to perform their work satis-factorily. They become clogged withwaste materials, which the blood stream,enfeebled through the debilitated actionof a flabby heart (itself the most import-ant muscle in the body, and equally de-pendent upon exercise for its "well-being) , is unable to clear away satis-factorily, and one of the results of thatfouling is rheumatism.

Exercise and the Digestive System.The digestive system, again, is verylargely a muscular one. The all-

important elementary processes of thebody are muscular in their action too.Thus we see how quickly a vicious circleis established, which involves the wholebody, merely by nujlect of the simplelaw of exercise. Thus tho statement thatthe names we give to diseases are oftenso many misleading labels emphasises thisall-important unity of function. Indeed,it would often be nearer the mark to tella patient that he was suffering from lackof exercise rather than from "rheu-matism." Such a diagnosis would atleast have the merit of implying thecourse of treatment he should follow inorder to be cured. Does it not stand toreason, therefore, that where flabbymuscles are at the root of the troublethe only sound course to follow is thatwhich aims at getting them into goodcondition again?

CURRENT HUMOURSHORT STORIES.

A HOME INDUSTRY.11 And this," said the chief of detec-

tives, -who was doing the honours to aparty of feminine investigators, "is ourfingerprint department."

" Dear me!" exclaimed on© motherly-looking woman who seemed a little out ofplace. "Where are the children?"

"The children, ma'am?""Yes—to make the fingerprints."

THE COST OF THE OILS.Mr. Joseph Pennell, the etcher, who

has taken all his unique collection of theworks of Whistler to the States, statesthat once an American oil king camo tohis studio in Chelsea and said:

" "What would you charge to do myportrait in oil?"

" Two thousand," -was the prompt re-ply."But suppose," suggested the million-

aire, " 1 supplied the oil?"

A BARGAIN.

An American once wrote to Mr. Rud-yard Kipling :"Dcar Sir,—I hear that youretail wisdom at the rate of one dollarper word. I enclose ono dollar—pleasesend sample."

The famous author's reply took theform of post card, on the back of whichappeared the one word, "Thanks!" abovehis signature.

After a lapse of some weeks the Ameri-can wrote again:

" Dear Sir,—I sold your Thanks for twodollars. Enclosed please find 50 cents.,being your share of the profits."

TRUSTED THE Y.M.O.A.A man, suffering from shell-shock, sat

down and wrote a letter to the Almightytelling Him how hard up he waa, andsaying he must have £lO.

The letter ultimately found its way tothe War Office, where, says Sir ArthurYapp, some of the clerks, entering intothe spirit of the poor fellow's appeal,collected £7 and sent him a cheque.

The lad replied, gratefully, to theAlmighty, but besought Him never tosend money again through the WarOffice, as the people there had " pinched"£3. It would he honestly delivered, how-ever, if he sent it through the Y.M-C.A.!

CARUSO'S SENSITIVENESS.Caruso, the fairous tenor, used to play

the flute, and some years ago, whenphonographs were introduced, a salesmantried to induce him to buy one.

At the salesman's suggestion he playedhis flute to test the machine. After-wards the rcital was reproduced.

" Is that what I did ?" asked Caruso."Yes, sir."" Exactly as I played it ?"" Exactly, sir. Isn't it wonderful?

You'll buy the phonograph?""No"' said Caruso shuddering, "hut

Til sell you the flute."

NOT IMPRESSED.

One of the famous members of Presi-dent Wilson's Cabinet received rather aset-down recently. He was visiting his

home" town, and asked the driver ofthe conveyance which took him from therailway station to the hotel if he knewwho he was.

"Yep,'' sai3 the driver; "you an' mewas at school together."

Do you know I am now Attorney-General of the United States?"

" Yep/' was the reply." Do the folks here know about it?"" Yep," replied the driver." And what do they say?"" Why, they jes larf."

PRACTICAL ADVICE.Most lawyers know the troublesome

rich man who, having an etornal griev-ance, insists on taking the solicitor'sadvice on every possible occasion. Sucha one entered the office of a busy man otlaw the other day." Johnson of Mudtown has insulted

me!" he announced loudly. "He hasthreatened to pull my nose whenever hemeets me What would you advise ntto do?"

The busy writer did not look up fromhis writing. "If he really threatened todo that," he 6aid judicially, " my adviceis that you soap your nose well; thenit will slip through his fingers. Good-day ; I will send my bill in due course. '

THOMAS HABDY'S REPUTATION.Mr. Lewis Hind has published in his

literary recollections a description of avisit to Dorchester. He was to see Mr.Thomas Hardy, and on the way to thelatter's house be called at a book shopand inquired of an elderly, prim, andrather tart female if she had a copy ofHardy's "Judo the Obscure," which hadlately been published. _

In response to my inquiry, writes Mr.Hind, the prim female said that she hadnot a copy of " Jude the Obscure" instock.

"What," I cried, "in his nativoDorchester, you have not a copy of thelatest book by the greatest living Eng-lish novelist I ''

She eyed me with hauteur, and, tossingher head, said : "Perhaps we have notthe same opinion of Mr. Hardy in Dor-chester as you have elsewhere.

THE BOOKISH BOY.Children are very impressionable. .A

little boy had been reading The Fair Maidof Perth, or some such historical work offiction, and he was standing disconsolatelyone day in front of a tobacco shop.

" fionny, ye look troubled," an oldwoman said. "Anythin' I can do foryo?"

"Hist, mother!"And the urchin grandiloquently placed

a penny in her withered hand."Mother, old mother," he went on,

" thou canst indeed be of signal scrvico.an' thou wilt. (Seest yon tobacco shop?Then take thf>e this bronze coin, and bidthe churl within to give thee a cigarette,and eke a match therefor. Be secret,mother, and bewray me not, or thy old"blood shall answer for't. I will awaitthee here. And now, beldame, begone!"

ODDS AND ENDS." Does your wife get, angry if you

don t talk to her? "Man alive no!Only if 1 don't listen."

" I vo got. a fiance 'who owns a swellpar. Do you love any one who owns atar!" "Anyone!''

Fred, on returning from school, foundhis mother sitting in the drawing roomconversing with a corpulent visitor." This is ycur great-aunt, Fred," saidthe mother, by way of introduction." She looks it, too," was the curt reply,reply.

It was his first christening, and thecurate was puzzled. "Did you say' Basil V " he inquired of the proud youngEast End mother. "That is 'is name,replied the mother. " You gee, we'removing to 'Ammersmith."

Lawyer: "You say your wife has re-ceived an anonymous letter informing herof something you did before yourmarriage? Well, the best thing you cando is to confess." Client: "I know,but she won't let mo read the letter, andI don't know what to confess,"

" Why do yon object to my marryingyour daughter?" "Because you can'tsupport her in the style to which shehas been accustomed all her life." "Howdo you know I can't? Anyhow, I canstart her on bread and milk, the sameas you did."

Wife (reading letter): "Mamma saysshe's delighted to hear that you've leftoff smoking." Hubby: "Oh, indeed!"She always detested the Bmell of to-

bacco, but now she will come and makeus a good long visit."

Among tba guests at a reception wasa distinguished man of letters- He waspave and somewhat taciturn. One ofthe ladies present suggested to the hos-tess that he seemed to be out of placeat gnch & party. M Yes," replied thehostess, with a bright smile, ' you see,he can't I" anything but sense!"

One of two centenarian sitsers who hadalways lived together, died, and tho re-lative who undertook, the delicate task ofbreaking the painful news to the otherfeared that ti« shock would be ftal toher. But no. "Ah, well," observed thoelder lady. " Now, I supose, I shall beablo to have ny tea made aa I like it."

One of the Grimsby firms which adver-tise parcels ol fresh fish sent anywherefor recently received a letterfrom a lady forwarding the necessarysum and requesting s "Please let me havotwo salmon, a dozen herrings, some tur-bot, 6ome plaice, and a lobster."

BY FOCUS.

MODERNISED MAXIMS.

An ounce of attention is worth a poundoi overhaul.

Aji oiling a day keeps the repair manaway.

Look before you back.Spare the oil and spoil the cat.A roiling car gathers no crowd.A tool in tho kit, is worth thousands

in the parage.Service is as service does.Pools rush in where experta fear to ride.A little knowledge of electrical systems

is a dangerous thing.An ounce of instruction mav we a

pound of repair.A skid to the wise is sufficient.

BEAUTY AND QUALITY.One of the most perplexing problems

confronting the automobile manufactureris that of a suitably combination of beautyin appearance with mechanical goodness.And this is especially true in tho light carclass. An unusual i>eautiful car—especial-ly if it is one of medium price—is likely'.o cieate doubt concerning its mechanical~ . compiis'.ments. And yet a car withouti-eauty. even though it may deliver re-•iiirksbly tine performance, cannot long-■ idure in the present market. 'Hie carbuyer of to day demands mechanical ex-

ellence together witi stylish appearancerid luxurious comfort This fact allowsthe manufacturer but a single policy; homast iir?t establish the mechanical merit< f his product, and maintain it: then homust furnish a body design that will ap-peal suf>n*!y to tho buyer. No otheri' urso c;m be successful.

A NOVEL OH-FILLER.Although primarily iniended for tilling

motor crank-cases with oil, the tiller woare about to describe should be equallyuseful for tho lubrication of all kinds ofmachinery. It consists of a copper jug,holding two quarts, the main feature ofwhich is a flexible spout, leading from anopening in the ceoire of a false bottomm the lower part of the jug, and thence•through tho side of the jug, near the truobottom. This spout, which is really aflexible metal pipe with a nozzle at the"od of it, can be turned about in anydirection, an-i provision is made for hold-ing it in posili< n when it is not in use.The erntral aperture in the false bottomis provided with a valve fixed to one endnf a little rocking lever, the other end ofwhich is connected to a rod passing upthe side of the jug to the tcp. where abutton on the end of the rod is ccnvenient-lv placed for t-'ie opers or's thumb,formally the valve is kept closed by aspring, and nothing cau flow into thespout: but when this button is presseddown the valve is raised, and oil can flowthrough the aperture in the false bottominto the spout. A strainer is fitted half-way down the jug, which removes all•mpurities in the oil. With this appliance,therefore, not only is the funnel elimi-nated, but the oil is strained and measuredin one operation

LIGHTER CARS POPULARAnalysis by the automotive division of

the department of commerce of recentmotor car development in the UnitedKingdom shows that the British manu-facturers are concentrating on the smaller,lighter and relatively cheap cars capableof being ran at. a low operating cost. Manymanufacturers, who before the war refusedto consider anything but high-powered,injury productions, are now buildiug light-er cars, in some cases miniature modelsof the heavier vehicles. Other companies,which have never manufactured big cars,offer entirely new small designs, or im-proved types of their old "makes. Themovement amounts in its broad outlines,to a determined effort on the part of Bri-tish manufacturers to meet competition inthe cheaper automobile, and to stimulate ahome industry which has suffered severe-ly from the effects of the general tradedepression. Prices are figured on the nar-rowest margin of profit, and consideringthe industry as a whole, have decreasedabout 25 per cent, during the past year.These cars are not cheap in the sensethat they are mass-produced, or of inferiormaterial or -workmanship. On the con-trary, the highest mechanical skill is em-ployed in their construction with theobject in view of compressing into thesmaller possible space the greatest amountof efficiency. Hitherto the cheaper gradeof motor car has been almost a foreignmonopoly in the United Kingdom, but« ne British maker is now besinning to con-sider the large potential market which can<-ilv be tempted by cars of low cost.

NOTES.

Avoid sudden stop?, quick starts, jerksand skidding. They are hard on springsand tyres.

""Boiled linseed oil is good for removingspots from varnish and for polishing thebody of a car.

Running almost every day since 1902 isa single cylinder car owned by J. E.Peterson, of Palo Alto, who is connectedwith Stanford University.

Because of automobile stealing, a largoAmerican insurance company is said tohave lost £400,000 in payment last yearof cars insured against theit-. Losses dur-ing 1920 amounted to £200,000.

Drive slowly and cautiously over arough road, especially where large rocksstick up out of tho roadbed. The blowsfrom tho rocks not only ruin the tyres,but also may bo the cause of a brokenspring, or broken steering mechanism.

According to ti report on "Tli® Auto-motive Industry in Austria," popular pric-ed automobiles' in that country are sellingfor 14,000,000 crowns each, while thesmallest cars bring 2,800,000 crowns.Motor-cycles without tyres sell for1,000,000 crowns.

The trend in automobile manufactureamone the liieher grade motor cars istoward simplicity in mechanical opera-tion. Working along these lines anAmerican firm has produced an electricbutton-starting device. A touch of thobutton on the instrument board startstho car.

From the official organ of the SouthAfrican #iotor trade, the M.T.A. Bulletin,comes tko following brief but expressiveepitaph t—-

" Down in the treekSleeps Jerry Bass;

~ The bridge was narrow,He tri«?d to pass."

To determine whether it was possible| to drive an automobile 1200 miles over

bad roads and through congested citytraffic without shifting gears, James li.

j Brough, general manager of a New Eng-j land motor concern, tried the experiment

J recently. Ho drove one of a half-dozen- of the firm's new cars from the factory

at East iloline, 111., to Boston, Mass.j " Even on hills I did not have to shift

' gears," said Mr. Brough. "In somei places the roads wero veiy bad. Ono

! stretch in particular, some forty-four miles1 in length, threatened to spoil everything.But the car came through splendidly,"

Among the speeches elicited at the Scot-tish Motor Exhibition dinner, that of SirMays-Smith was easily the most arrest-ing, on account of tho momentous, though

! cautiously-made, announcement that it con-tained. This was to the effect that inNovember next tho Societyof Motor Manu-facturers and Traders hoped to be ableto hold a great motor exhibition, in whichall classes oi motor transport—light andheavy, private and business vehicles—-would be on riew at one ind the Bametime, tinder one and the same roof atOlympia. The floor space of Olvmpia isto be increased from 160,000 square feetto 300,000 square feet.

An ingenious and useful adjunct to theautomobile is a combined cover and auto-matic shutter for the radiator that hasmade great strides in popularity inAmerica during the past year. It iscalled the Winterfront and is automaticin that the opening and closing of theshutter is controlled by a thermostatwhich in turn is controlled by the tem-perature under the hood. The shutterbegins to close when the temperature ofthe motor drops below 136 degrees Fah-renheit and to open when the tempera-ture goes above this point. After thewinterfront is attached with four bolts itrequires no other connection or atten-tion, as it is entirely self-contained andself-acting.

MOTOR-CYCLING.

Correct side-car alignment is very essen-tial if the best service is to be obtainedfrom the machine. Four points worthy ofnote are:

1. Tho machine must be vertical or in-clined slightly outwards.

2. The side-car wheel must be vertical3. The side-car axle should be level with

the rear wheel axle or slightly in advanceof it.

4. The side-car wheel should be parallelwith the motor-cyck.

A MOTOR-LOBBY WITH A "HIGH-LIFT " BODY.

The tipping body for carts and. vanshas been a familiar object for a greatmany years, being used for carting coal,.uones, or other material in bulk. Thisprinciple has been extended recently inthe form of a body which can be raisedas well as tipped. Moreover, the powerfir performing these operations is derivedfrom the motor i'tself. To put the matterbriefly, a shaft about three inches in dia-■ueuar across the chassis acts as a drainfrr winding up two very stout chains,which aro attached u> the ends of twohuge curved lifting brackets. Thesebra.'ketn are fitted at the extreme rear of'lie chassis, and normally lie flat justunder the body. When lifting begins,the body pivots at the rear end. and thewtinn of the lifting brackets pulls up twopush-rods under the front end until thefront of the boCv is raised to its fullheight. At �his point the rods, havingrewhed the limit of their up card move-ment. come up against stops and thefulcrum rhancfß to the front ei d. the real-end of the liodv being Uien -used f0 a'"•.eight of between seven and eight feet.The shaft which perform; tli • operatn.iiis v(irked by i, special po vr-r head in Ihegear li'ix. v.hirli t iari-mi is the motionthiw.'h -«,s.

Loose chains not only cause excessivenoise and uneven riding but wear them-selves and sprockets unduly,

The Cycle and Motor-cyclc Dealers' As-sociation has decided to organise a bicycleroad race at an early date.

Rubber belts should be kept free from<?il .and grease, and care should be takenthat dirt docs not collcct in the bottomof the pulley.

Motor-cycling is becoming very popularin Denmark, the total, number of mai nineshaving increased from 3428 in 1910 to14,241 in 1921.

With the approach of colder weather,muffs over the handle-bar {.'rips and con-trols will protect the hands and addgreatly to riding comfort.

Evidently riders are taking the matterof the open cut-out to heart, for a fewof the noisy ones have been observedlately riding in quite a rational manner.

Causes of failure to the ignition may bodue, generally speaking, to either thosparking plug, the magneto, or tho high-tension cable. Of these the plug is thomost frequent, and the cable the least,cause of trouble.

It has been taken up by the Government, Post and Telegraph, \Education and Agricultural Departments.

Until the light Overland Four was manufactured, riding com-fort was confined to the heavy long wheel base car, but with theheavy car, economy was out of the question. The light OverlandFour brings comfort and economy together..

| The Policy of\ Smith & Caughey, Lid,I

THE following statement of methods and policy which appearedsome time ago in one cf the Company's catalogues, andwhich holds good to-day, may be taken as the secret of the

wonderful growth and success that has attended the Finn's opera-> tions tor close on half-a-century:— \

!. OWING to our enormous and rapidly-growing business, iour buying power is unrivalled. All our buying, too, is ion a prompt cash basis, and the fact that all our importa-tions are actually paid for before entering our establish- !

ment, enables us to buy direct from the most eminentManufacturers, and obtain not only rocK-bottom prices, !but highest cash discounts,

2. GOODS of an inferior quality,. Goocis we cannot recom-mend, are not permitted to enter our establishment.

3. ANY article purchased and nor approved, if returned in jgood condition within a fortnight, is taken back, and cash ,m full refunded. In case ol Country Customer., freight !

is paid both ways. This has been our rule and practice il for nearly 50 years, and completely protects our Cus-

tomers.

4. ALL Goods in our establishment are marked in plainfigures at fixed and lowest prices, and therefore will notadmit of discounts or any reductions whatever.

frequently purchase Manufacturers' Samples andlarge lots of irregular but useful goods much below-ordinary rates, In such cases our Customers invariablyget the benefit, our Motto being, - Get a bargain, givea bargain."

6. WE deem it bad business to sell any article at or undercost price for the purpose of impressing and misleadingthe public. At the same tune, our Customer may res!assured that for gocds of equal character we will notunder any circumstances be undersold.

WE REOPEN ON TUESDAY NEXT,At the Usual Hour,
