" rjj A K I N G p R 0 F I T. "

Without any doubt one of the mostihlik-ut things for the majority of Investorsto do is to learii to take a I'rotit. Thoreason is that most liuinan iieings arcnaturally greedy and their cupidity blindstheir reason. .Nearly every investor hasin his mental make-up two characteristicswhich war against Jiis Selling any Invest-ment which lias appreciated in value. Thesetwo characteristics arc:—

1. The idea that lie may j:et more byRetaining the Investment.2. The fear that if he sells somebodyt'lse may reap an additional pro.'it

which might have been hi.s.He forgets three things:—1. That the profit which the market

shows is only a paper pi'otit and nota real one until turned into money.2. That it is impossible to tell when tneniark((fr has readied the top. for

conditions which cause appreciationmay alter over night so na to causedepreciation.

3. That if a profit be taken the Investorhas additional capital to reinvest.

Now the way to look at all Investmentsus this —If your investment increases invalue so us to enable you to sell at a fairprofit dependent upon the time you haveheld it, SELL AT ONCE—look at 'hetransaction as a whole and forget the otherman. You have added to your capital andthe transaction is over. Forget it. Even ifthe Investment continues to rise it doesnot matter to you. It miglit just as easilyfall again. Never mind the other fellowwho perhaps has gained a little. He has .;

greater chance of losing than you. No onehas beeu ruined or lost money by taking aprofit, but the number who have lost byfailing to do so are as the sands of the sea.

The shares In a certain concern a slioittime ago became very popular owing toauthentic rumours as to the success thecompany was meeting in its enterprise.Anticipating a good balance-sheet an 1dividend the crowd rushed the shares up intin; market until a peak price of over threetimes the par value was reached and th -nthe market "flopped." The few wise oik >

had sold out, but the majority had all nlungisaid. -We'll get more." To-day there isnot a buyer on the market, and there arcany number of sellers just over par. Thewriter advised many holders to take theirprofit, but they knew better or thought tlr ydid. Every broker knows the man whowants to get a little more and a'.so knowsthat such a man invariably "misses thebus."

A good rule to follow Is ALWAYS totake a reasonable profit on any Investmentwhen it can be had. Curb your desire toexact tho maximum out of your Investmentand don't be afraid of leaving "n littlemilk in the saucer" for the other fellow.

BROADCASTING.BOARD CONTROL.MEMBERS' DOUBTS.

AMENDING BILL DEBATED.

FUTURE OF B STATIONS

(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)

WELLINGTON, this dayIt was somewhat surprising, after the

lively reception given the BroadcastingAmendment Bill, that the continuationof its second reading discussion in theHouse was devoid of keen interest.Many compliments were heard concern-ing the programmes provided by thenational stations, but the majority ofthe speakers showed anxiety regardingthe future of B stations under the strictcontrol of a board which regarded themas rivals, and the Postmaster-Generalwas requested from all sides of theHouse to give an assurance that thesealternatives to the national stationswould be encouraged, and not graduallyeliminated, as they suspected was thepclicy of the Government. Pleas weremade for the appointment of alisteners' representative to the board.The bill received its second reading.

"Pretty Wooden Things."According to Mr. C. L. Carr (Labour,

Timaru), the Government was. tacklingbroadcasting in the same way as thesavage met the first missionary. It wasdisplaying a fear of the unknown.Afraid of email stations, it was takingsteps to knock them out. Broadcastingwas a public service, and it should bethe Government's job to handle it. Whycould not a committee of the House beresponsible for carrying out the Govern-ment's policy?

"A. board is not wanted," said Mr.Carr. "Boards arc pretty wooden things,with dry rot set in them. We wantsomething that lives and grows andwhich adapts itself to environment. Theservice should be made national in everysense, and the policy of the Govern-ment, began anew, should be 'Live andlet live.' We have freedom of the Press,but no freedom of the air. Broadcast-ing is the Cinderella of them all—theugly duckling that is rapidly becomingthe lovely swan—and it must rely ex-clusively on listeners' fees."

In the opinion of Mr. A. S. Kichards(Labour, Jtoskill) the popularity of theB stations had shown that the board'sadministration had not been satisfac-tory. The bill showed that the boardfeared healthy competition.

Position of Chairman.Although he disclaimed any intention

of personally attacking the chairmanof the board, who is paid £GSO a yearfor his services, Mr. W. A. Veitch (Inde-pendent, Wangamii) expressed his won-derment that the present occupantcould do so much. work. He was apartner in an accountancy business,director of a number of companies, andhad acted as commissioner with theChief Justice in some adjustments atNapier. He also took a hand in theexamination of the finances of some ofthe McArtlilir companies. No doubt hehad some little private business to attendto.

Mr. F. Jones (Labour, Duncdin South)Not on relief work, is he?

Mr. Veitch submitted that it wasimpossible for anyone to earn £050 inthat capacity, and be able to do justiceto all the offices he was holding i'.i con-nection with his own affairs, while ful-filling all the functions he was requiredto perform on behalf of the Govern-ment. He did not know what the chair-man's total emoluments would be.

Mr. Wright: £2000 a year?Mr. Veitch: If I were doing all that

work properly, I would expect morethan £2000 a year. Have we reachedthe stage with all these boards, thatwe have not sufficient sensible mento fill them up?

Minister Preferred."If cultural experts are thought of I

-ret scared," declared Mr. J. A. LeeGrey Lynn), discussing pro-

vision for a larger board. "Is it to beanother brain trust," he asked. Are

we "oing to have the ideas of a fewhand-picked people imposed on us? X

still believe the ideal control, providedcontroversy is allowed, is the Minister,who is responsible to and can be criti-cised by Parliament." A difficulty aboutwhat was proposed was that the boardcould not be criticised by Parliament,and that the Minister-would be able to

say he was not responsible and wouia

not interfere. However, if they hadto have a board he hoped it would beselected in such a way that there was acertainty that it would cater for thediverse appetites of everyone. wedo not want a sort of cultural goose-step board, which will try to make us

all fit into a uniform routine I nateanvbody to tell me what I shall listento'amriiow I .shall enjoy myself. He

trusted political leanings would not in-

fluence the selection.Statement on B Stations Wanted.

Mr \ Harris (Independent, Waite-raata) suggested that if there were anyintention by "finnicky control" to force

B stations off the air it would be a

great disservice to the country- _ Iniswas the general suspicion regarding thebill. When a national board had abso-lute control over its competitors therewas a danger, and the people would notstand for that policy. He urged the.Minister to make a frank statement thatthere was no intention to eliminate isstations.

The Leader of the Opposition, Mr.Savage, said broadcasting was one ofthe greatest services of modern times,and the greatest means of publicity it Ipeople had access to it. There must bosome control, though it should not becarried to absurd lengths. He did notagree with board control, but would,sooner have an opportunity of talking!to the Minister than try to talk to aboard through him. There should benothing of a harsh nature done thatwould effect the closing of B stations. |The Government should not unload itsresponsibility on a board which was notdirectly responsible to the people. Theservice should be part and parcel of thepostal service, under the Minister'ssupervision, and as a matter of fact theboard was still in debt to the PostalDepartment for the payment of the ser-vice acquired from the company.

Question of Controversy.

There whs no stopping place wherecontroversial questions were involved,f-aid Mr. Savage, for everything wascontroversial, and the liberty to dealwith this was a thing no Governmentshould part with. He could imaginebeing involved in a general election andan opportunity not being given to talkover the air. '"The Ministry of the day

will say they, are not responsible," hesaid. "We place representations beforethe board, and before they have con-cluded argument we arc reading thenumbers."

The Prime Minister, Mr. Forbes:Would you not object if the Govern-ment wanted to decide it?

Mr. Savage: No. I would sooner seethe Government determine who is tospeak than allow a board not respon-sible to anyone.

If Mr. Forbes took undue advantageof his position, the Opposition hadredress by appealing to the people, saidMr. Savage, and they could see whatwas happening. They would not soreadily understand what a board wasdoing. But there was a real danger intransferring the authority to a boardnot responsible to the people.

MINISTERS' VIEWS.

DEFENCE OF THE BILL.

SUGGESTIONS WELCOMED

<By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.}

WELLINGTON, this day.Willingness to consider the appoint-

ment of a direct nominee of the listenersto the Broadcasting Board was indicatedby Mr. Hamilton in the House lastnight, when defending the newly-announced radio policy of the Govern-ment. He intimated that the FriendlyRoad station would not be interferedwith as long as it conformed to thelaw.

Replying to a colourless debate onthe second reading of the BroadcastingBill, Mr. Hamilton eaid it had had agood reception, and if there were anyway of improving it he would be pleasedto consider suggestions. The bill didnot involve the closing of B stations,though members might as well arguethey were being closed down now.

As for the criticism of the placing ofcontrol in the hands of the board, hesuggested there was not a great deal ofdifference between this and control bya general manager, though there was adifference in principle. He thought lis-teners would prefer to have their moneyspent by a responsible board ratherthan a Minister and Parliament, for itwas not a Government fund. In con-stituting the new board lie desired tohave wide representation, as it wouldcontrol controversial matters. If theGovernment kept control of that aspectit would either have to appoint an inde-pendent censor or an independent board,and he thought the latter would bo ableto sense public opinion and the desireof listeners, and give them what wasreasonable. They hoped to be able toappoint good, reasonable men with aknowledge of broadcasting, not forget-ting the business side of it. There wasa good deal of objection to the presentcensorship regulation, because the mat-ter had to be rigidly defined and thePostal Department was sometimescriticised for carrying out a definiteregulation. He proposed to repeal itand to give the board power to dealwith the matter in a free and easy way,instead of by hard-and-fast regulation.

Some members, he continued, had re-commended that some of the revenueshould go to the B stations, but thatwas not the Government's policy. Itpreferred the British method. He hada good deal of sympathy for B stationsand appreciated * the services they hadrendered.

A Member: How are they going tocontinue?

The Minister: I am not saying any-thing about that. The Governmentshowed its sympathy with some of themby compensating the owners. Shouldwe over-capitalise this industry? Are34 services necessary ?

Subsidies Still Possible.If they were to get revenue it must

come either from license fees or fromadvertising over the air. Very fewspeakers had advocated •using listenersfees, and was it wise to encouragestations without any source of revenue?Tho board was subsidising seven orei"ht B stations, and the bill containedno authority or direction which wouldprevent that practice, the board beingfree to continue that policy if it thussecured complete coverage throughoutthe Dominion. The distribution of Bstations was very haphazard, for therewere six in Dunedin and none in 'Wel-lington.

Answering the suggestion thatlisteners should have a direct represen-tative on the board, the Minister saidthat if they submitted several nameshe would be prepared to consider anappointment.

The bill w-as read a second time with-out a division.

B STATIONS.

FUTURE IN DANGER?

MR. SCRIMGEOUR'S VIEWS.MINISTER QUESTIONED.

(By Telegraph.—Pnrliamentnrj- Reporter.)

WELLINGTON, this day.Asserting that the aim of the Govern-

ment was to effect the ultimate extinc-tion of B class broadcasting stations inNew Zealand, the Kev. C. G. Serimgeour,of the "Friendly Road" organisation,during a deputation to the Postmaster-General to-day, said that if the Broad-casting Amendment Bill were passed inits present f<)rm he would havemo alter-native but to "pack up his traps and getout of it." He said his organisation,which broadcasts from station IZB,Auckland, preferred control by the P.and T. Department," "the big bad wolfof the ppst," to the "big bad wolf of thefuture," the new board, with the powersit was proposed to give it.

There were several sharp passagesbetween Mr. Serimgeour and the Minis-ter in the course of the interview, atwhich other interests represented werethe IZB Listeners' Clubs and the IZMListeners' Society. The deputation wasintroduced by the Leader of the Opposi-tion, Mr. Savage, and other M.P.'s pre-sent were Messrs. Jordan, Stallworthy,Parry, Lee, Mason and Harris.

Three Representatives Wanted.Mr. I. Meltzer, president of the IZB

Listeners' Club, said the deputationsought an assurance that the teeth ofthe powers proposed to be given to theboard would not be plunged into B classstations. It was urged that the billshould be amended to reserve controlof B stations from the board, notwith-standing that that alteration mightdestroy the fundamental feature of thebill. The ideal system would be aunified system of control. The deputa-tion did not ask that the entire per-sonnel of the board should be providedon an elective basis, but it was claimedthat three listeners' representativesshould sit on the board. It was pro-posed that the North Island should bedivided into two wards, one controlledby Auckland and the other by Welling-ton, and the South Island into oneward. Those threo wards should havethe right to elect one representativeeach from candidates nominated bylisteners' clubs and others. Ballotscould bo arranged with the issue of theannual licenses to listeners. The demo-cratic method of election would be ap-preciated by listeners. There would beno objection to a straight-out postalballot.

Speaking ae the representative of theIZM Listeners' Society, Mr. 2sr . R.Cathie said the listeners felt there wasno security for them under the bill.His society considered, the listeners'representative to the board should beelective. The bill accorded with thewishes of his society, with the excep-tion that it wanted an assurance ofsecurity as to its future and that lis-teners should have representation onthe board.

"Direct Answer" Sought.According to Mr. Scrimgeour, listeners

feared the new bill provided the weaponthe Government had been seeking tokill B stations.

The Minister: That is a serious chargeto make against the Government.

Mr. Scrimgeour: Will you say, then,that it is the policy of the Governmentto continue the B stations, or whetherit is to eliminate them?

The Minister: The Government'spolicy is not changed in this bill.

Mr. Scrimgeour: Can I get a directanswer as to whether the Governmentconsiders it advisable to have two cia.sscsof stations in New Zealand?

The Minister: We arc leaving thatto the board.

Mr. Scrimgeour: The Prime Ministerhas said that 13 stations have nothingto fear. I would like a direct answerto the question whether the Govern-ment thinks B stations arc desirable, orwhether it would prefer one class ofstation only.

The Minister: The Government'spolicy is following the 8.8.C. It isnot the policy of the Government tocommercialise broadcasting through Bstations.

Mr. Scrimgeour: The Government,then, would rather have only one scr-

The Minister: Yes, that is the 8.8.C.policy. I am not saying we arc com-mitted to eliminating B class stations,but I say that if there were no Bstations to-day no licenses would beissued for B stations.

He added that the Government hadbought out some B stations because theyhad giten service during the time whenthe national service was not complete.They had no revenue, and tho Govern-ment felt it had a moral obligation tothem.

Sir. Ssrimgeour: I take it the Govern-ment's ultimate object is to follow the8.8.C. in its entirety, and have no Bstations?

The Minister: The 8.8.C; started with-out any. Wo have not said we arc goingto withdraw the licenses from B sta-tions. We could have withdrawn themunder the existing powers. We don'tintend to.

"Power to Destroy."Mr. Scrimgeour said that under the

powers proposed to be given to theboard, every vestige of the character ofthe B stations as such could be des-troyed. There was no assurance tothe contrary ill the bill. "Once thobill becomes law," he said, "and we cometo you with any problem, you will fellus that it has nothing to do with youbut with the board. Under the billwe arc to be told not only what we areto put over the air, but how we shallsay it. At present we can say whatwe like a« long as it is not contro-versial,"

The Minister: That is not altered.Mr. Scrimgeour: But the bill says so.He added that the B stations were

still denied the right of earning anyrevenue, and they received no supportfrom the board.

The Minister: The board will continueto subsidise.

Mr. Scrimgeour: But that does notapplv in the metropolitan areas.

He added that under the bill theboard could do everything.

The Minister said the board wouldhave a free hand, and would not borestricted by regulations. However,there was nothing mandatory in thebill.

Mr. Scrimgeour: All of it is manda-tory. We are put in the hands of our icompetitors, who arc to manage our'business and tell us what we are to do,without their having any responsibilityor liability. An officer could tell me toput a message over the air, and if it ,were proved libellous he would have no Iiresponsibility. I

The Minister: You are assuming ailabsurdity.

Mr. Serimgeour: I have said that if ithappened—

, ,

The Minister: Then there would beconsequences for somebody.

Listeners' Franchise Wanted.Mr. Serimgeour said the Governments

action in the past had definitely anddeliberately left no 'doubt that its aim

was the extinction of B stations. Ifcomplete control were not given to theboard those with complaints couldapproach the Minister, who could over-rule the smug complacency of officialswho had boasted that listeners wouldnot have representation on the board.It would not be possible to get anythingacceptable until a franchise was givento listeners throughout New Zealand.

"I am against this bill," Mr. Serim-geour said. "If it is passed, I believe *

might as well pack up my traps and getout of it. The Minister covers up tileposition by saying the Government i≤following the 8.8.C."

The Minister: We gave your stationincreased power. What have you againstus in thatfespect? You have goodhours.

Mr. Serimgeour: Only 23 a week. Itwould not matter to a soul in New Zea-land if we were broadcasting 24 hoursa day.

The Minister said that if concessionswere given to one station he did not seehow they could be withheld from others.

Mr. Serimgeour said that if the Gov-ernment was determined to have a boardwith the powers proposed then he shouldprovide for at least three listeners'representatives, and allow control of Bstations to remain under the P. and T.Department, or, better still, under theGovernment.

Minister's Reply."If you were to take tlie voice of this

deputation," suggested the Minister toMr. Scrirageour, "they would not beunanimous that it is wise to furtherdevelop B stations, or give them all thehours or power they want." New Zea-land, ho added, already had more sta-tions than Australia. As for the pro-posal regarding controversial mattersbeing left to the discretion of the boardhe really had thought this was loosen-ing up, by taking it away from strictlyDepartmental regulation and putting itwithin the good judgment of a board.This seemed a eensible way of doingit. Nor did ho think the principalspeaker would be right in interpretingthe listeners' opinion that they wouldrather have control centred in politicsthan in an independent board. Theywould prefer to have their money spentand broadcasting controlled by a goodboard.

Mr. Lee: It is going to depend on tlieboard.

The, Minister, in reply to a question,said lie would be quite frank In sayingit was not the Government's policy toencourage the investment of cipitul inB stations as a commercial venture.Anyone who spent money would expecta return—something to conduct thestation.

"Not Against Existing Stations.""Is it wise." he asked, "to encourage

them to spend more capital in buildingB stations and running them? We arenot against the B stations that exist."

Mr. Harris: I do not think it con-cerns the Government at all, if theylike to do it.

The Minister replied that the resultof such a policy in Australia and theU.S.A. had been the commercialisationof radio. The Government consideredit better to have a national service, paidfor by tlie listener. Its policy was notto allow advertising on the air, but toget revenue from tlie listeners. Therehad been ii suggestion that B stationsshould be subsidised from fees, but theB stations were placed in a haphazardway throughout tlie country, witliimportant towns having no sue"facilities. However, he would assurethe deputation that the Government hadno intention of being unjust to the Bstations which existed, but unless thaGovernment's policy were changed itsidea was to have a national service.It considered it would not be wise toencourage B stations to develop.

No Extension of Hours.Mr. Stallworthy: What is the objec-

tion to extending the hours of the"Friendly Road"' station?

The Minister: If we give facilities tothe "Friendly Road" what light havewe to withhold the same facilities fromother organisations? Supposing thePresbyterians want a B station?

Mr. Cathie: I quite understand therefusal to erect any more B station.-!,but why inflict a penalty on the presentones ?

The Minister pointed out that anyextension would mean that every organi-sation would want its own station.There were other organisations in Auck-land which wanted a license, bnt itwould never do if every organisationgot a license.

Mr. Scrimgeour; Just the tiling.

TRAFFIC CONTROL.

LARGER STAFF WANTED

REVIEW BY CITY COUNCIL,

A review of traffic control in Aucklandis to be made at a special meeting ofthe City Council at a date to be arranged.Report's by the city engineer, Mr. J.Tyler, and the chief traffic inspector, Mr.G* R. Hogan, will be dealt with at themeeting.

At last night's meeting of the council:he legal and by-laws committee reportedthat these reports had been considered.In the meantime, the committee reportedthat it considered the stall of the trafficdepartment was inadequate to cope withpresent-day traffic demands, and it wasrecommended that the committee beempowered to increase the staff by theappointment for four additional trafficinspectors. The committee .also main-tained that the vehicles now being usedby the department were inadequate forthe efficient administration and controlof the traffic in the city, and recom-mended that it be empowered to providemore suitable vehicles.

Mr. W. T. Anderton held that thacouncil could not act on such recom-mendations. The council had asked forthe reports now in the hands of thecommittee, and until it knew the reasonsfor the recommendations it could notauthorise the stuff increases and expendi-ture.

Mr. M. J. Coyle, a member of thecommittee, said many complaints hadbeen received about traffic, and the chieftraffic inspector had reported that he didnot have enough men to do the work.The committee had therefore broughtdown this interim report so that menand ears could be provided to deal withimmediate needs. The whole questionof traffic control could then be dealtwith at a later date.

TRADE TREATY.

NEGOTIATIONS WITH U.S.A

Liist month the Auckland Chamber ofCommerce considered Hie question of atrade treaty with the United States,and decided to write to the Minister ofIndustries and Commerce, Mr. Masters,on the matter, pointing out the advant-ages' of such an agreement to NewZealand.

At yesterday's meeting a letter wasreceived from the Minister in which hesaid no opportunity would be lost inprosecuting the desire to negotiate atrade agreement with the United States.Preliminary negotiations had beenopened, but while New Zealand wasready and willing to procee-J with thematter without delay, the United Statesauthorities were not at present preparedto take definite action.

"We have been informed," stated theMinister, "that the attentions of theUnited States at present are concernedin dealing with similar matters affectingother foreign countries."

"DISGRACEFUL."

VICTORIA AVENUE.

POOITATHS AND ROAD,

Calling attention to what they termed"the- disgraceful and dangerous condi-tion of Victoria Avenue," over 100 JRe-inuera residents signed a letter to theCity Council requesting that steps betaken "to remedy these very unpleasantroadway conditions." The letter statedthat the rainy season could be expectedat any time and the footpaths wouldbecome a chain of puddles, annoying topedestrians, who even now complainedof the broken and uneven surfaces theyhad to negotiate.

The Mayor, Mr. G. W. Hutchison, saidloan proposals for the work had beensubmitted on two occasions, but hadbeen turned down by the Local Govern-ment Loans Board. The work wasnecessary ami would cost about £0000.So far that sum had not bnen avail-able out of revenue. The engineerwould be able to do the footpaths with-out loan money, but not the road.

The question was referred to the newcouncil for consideration when framingthe estimates.

FRENCH YACHT.BISSY GIRL RETURNS.

TWO AUCKLANDERS ABOARD.

PLAGUE OF COCKROACHES,

After a twelve months' cruise in Aus-tralian waters and in the WesternPacific, Captain Victor Brisson, in hislittle ketch-rigged yacht Bissy Girl,arrived back at Auckland last evening.With him are Mr. and Mrs. RaymondHardley, of Titirangi, who joined theyacht in Sydney. The only other per-son aboard is Nikola, the Polynesiandeck hand, who hails from TuomotuIsland.

Captain Brisson spent several weeksat Auckland last year, and when hesailed on March 3 Mr. and Mrs. Hardleywent for an eight days' cruise with himup the coast, visiting Kawau and Wha-ngaruru, and returned to Auckland whenCaptain Brisson cleared from Whanga-rei for Sydney. From Sydney, CaptainBrisson went on a cruise amongst theMelanesian islands, calling at the NewHebrides, New Caledonia, the Isle ofPines and Santos Island. During thiscruise Captain Brisson was laid up forsome time with a boil on the knee, andit was then that he received some un-welcome additions to the ship's com-pany. Cockroaches got aboard, presum-ably in some stores, and since then theBissy Girl has been the scene of anincessant war, in which the casualtieshave been all on one side.

Nineteen Days From Lord Howe.When Captain Brisson returned to

.Sydney from his island cruise he andAir. Hardley converted the galley, whichwas placed' forward of the saloon, intoa comfortably furnished two-bcrtncabin, the stove and pantry being shiftedaft. The Bissy Girl left Sydney onJanuary 30 for Lord Howe Island.There 'she nearly came to grief negoti-ating the narrow passage through thereef to the anchorage, her auxiliaryengine being out of commission owingto a break in the exhaust pipe.

"After ten interesting days at LordHowe Island we sailed for, Auckland,"said Mr. Hardiey this morning. "Wedid not have one clay's good sailingbreeze all the way. Flat calms alter-nated with stiff head winds, and wemust have sailed fully four times thedistance of the shortest course. Thatexplains why we have taken 19 days.We sighted North Cape a week ago,late one afternoon, but that night aneasterly gale blew up, accompanied bythick weather, and we had to get clear.All that night and all next day we hadto lie hove-to, well clear of the land,which we did not sight again until thefollowing day. Coming down the coastwe had weather similar to what it isto-day, and most of the time ive justdrifted along."

Arriving at Auckland shortly after 8p m. yesterday, the Bissy Girl anchoredfor the night off Orakei. After beingcleared, by the port health officer andthe Customs officers this morning, shewas towed by the Auckland HarbourBoard launch Ferro to a berth alongsidethe jetty at the Harbour Board slip.

Another French Vessel."Ha! La Corrigane is here," said Cap-

tain Brisson, who is a Frenchman, whenthe Bissy Girl was laid alongside theiettv, only a few feet away from the bigFrench schooner yacht. "Now you willhear plenty <parlez-vous.'" An officerof La Corrigane was soon aboard the

Bissy Girl, and not another word ot{English would Captain Brisson use.

The Bissy Girl will remain here forprobably a fortnight, Captain BrissonTot having decided yet where he willwander next.

ENGLISH FARMERS' ATTITUDE

"SICK OF THE COLONIES."

"Farmers are one-eyed at any time,but the English farmers are the mostone-eyed people I have ever met."These were the words of Dr. T. A. Mac-Gibbon, who returned to Christchurchthis week from a five months' tour ofBritain and the Continent. He wascommenting at the time on a conferenceof dairy farmers which he was invitedto attend in England, when it was learntthat he was from New Zealand.

One of the first things he was toldwas, "You are dumping your stuff hereand keeping prices down." That wastheir one cry. There was no doubtthat England was not going to take asmuch produce from New Zealand as shehad beeij doing unless the Customsduties were reduced. "They look onAustralia as hopeless," said Dr. Mac-Gibbon, "but we in New Zealand arenot regarded as being so bad."

A big business man in Liverpool toldhim that there would be better tradebetween England on the one hand andAustralia and New Zealand on theother, if Australia and New Zealandwere not part of the Empire. "Eng-lish people are incensed at the Customsduties and some people are getting com-pletely sick of the colonies, saying thatthey ask everything and give nothing!in return," he said.

The exchange rate in New Zealand,coming right on the top of the Ottawaagreement, was generally regarded as"sharp business" and the question askedwas "Who are you to talk of quotas?"Dr. MacGibbon "was told that New Zea-land, by the exchange rate, had losther good name at Home. It had beenconsfdered that her word was her bond,but that idea was being revised.

One disturbing factor was the num-ber of people from the Mediterraneanshores who were settling in Great Bri-tain. Dr. Mac Gibbon was told thatevery ship brought at least 60 Greeks.

MURDER CHARGE.SEARCH FOR WEAPON.

BED OF CREEK LAID BARE.

ACCUSED MAN AWAITS TRIAL.

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

NAPIER, this day

The police investigators who are hand-ling inquiries into the recent ArgyleEast murder, in which the body of a

woman, later identified as Miss Evelyn

Mary Madden, bearing severe head in-juries, was found in a creek in a remote

part of Plawke's Bay, have for nearlythree weeks been engaged in a constantsearch for a weapon which might havebeen used to kill the victim.

The search has involved extensiveoperations, including the diversion ofthe stream in which the body was

found, laying bare the bed of the creekfor a distance of several chains. Theclearance of the ground surrounding thespot where the body was found has alsobeen undertaken, and work has keptseveral members of the police force con-stantly engaged.

In the meantime Charles WilliamPrice, alias Charles William Edwards,who has been charged with the crime,awaits trial. A preliminary hearing be-fore a magistrate will be held in abouta fortnight, and as it is expected thatsome 40 "witnesses will testify, the hear-ing is likely to last several days.

SULTRY DAYS.

HOURS OF SCHOOLS.

NO CHANGE IN N.S.W.

OFFICIAL DISAPPROVAL.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

SYDNEY, February 2SExperience has proved that Australia

is by no means so haughty or so self-sufficient as to disdain to take a lessonfrom New Zealand now and then. Butthis week I have to chronicle a distinctrefusal on the part of New South Walesto follow New Zealand's lead in a matterthat might have been expected to makea strong appeal over here. At thebeginning of February the New ZealandMinister of Education authorised theEducation Boards there to keep theschools open during February on morn-ings only "in the interests of health."

When"the teachers in Sydney learnedof this innovation many of them ex-pressed strong approval, and certainlyanyone who has lived in Sydney at thisseason of the year would be inclined toagree that if afternoon school is unplea-sant and unhealthy for boys and girls inNew Zealand in mid-summer, it is farmore injurious and intolerable for thechildren here.

So much discussion did this proposalraise that the matter was brought moreor less officially under the notice of theDepartment. And now the Director ofEducation, Mr. G. Ross Thomas, hasformally announced that the New SouthWales Education Department will notin this respect follow the example ofNew Zealand.

Reasons Against Change.Mr. Thomas uses two arguments

against this morning- school scheine. Inthe first place, he says, there ie noevidence that the hot ' weather it>adversely affecting the health of childrenhere. In the second place he contendsthat "the pinning of schools in the after-noon would cause too much disorganisa-tion to be practicable."

Of course, the children who grow up jhere arc acclimatised to it, and they cer-tainly do not feel it so much as istrangers would. But the question is |whether they would not be better jphysically and better able to studywith advantage, if they were not forcedto work through the summer on a time-table originally devised to meet theclimatic conditions of the old world.

It has been often remarked that, con-sidering Australia's tropical or sub-tropical climate, its people follow far tooslavishly the habits and traditions ofour Northern ancestors. Neither in theclothes we wear nor in the food we eat|have we attempted to adjust ourselves!systematically to the conditions—physi-jcal, climatic, meteorological—that pre-vail on this side of the world; and theeame comment applies even more forciblyto our working days. It is an indis-putable fact, the "Sun" thinks, that forour climate or climates "the set summertimes are all wrong." We get up longafter the sun has risen, work throughthe hottest hours of the day, and"studiously ignore wise customs (as forinstance the siesta hour) which in otherhot countries are looked upon as essen-tial to health and well-being."

Mid-day Siesta.As to the "sieeta," the Australians

in North Queensland have learned byexperience like the inhabitants of othertropical regions that it is neither com-fortable nor safe nor profitable toattempt work during the hot hours, andthey have adopted the siesta at least tothe extent of relaxing, and dropping allpretence of violent exertion. But inthe southern half of the continent weare still "too English" to strike out forourselves, and we go on working from8 to 5 or from 9 to 0, simply becauseour fathers did so. The ''.Sun" regardswith admiring envy the New ZealandEducation Department's schedule for

Some one oughtto remind Mr. Ross Thomas that theeducation system was made for thechildren, not the children for the sys-tem; and if the children cannot fit com-fortably into the system—with dueregard for their health and happinessand mental growth—then it is high timefor the system to change.

SHOCK FOR MEAT PRODUCERS.

For the cause that lacks assistance,For the wrong that needs resistance,For the future in the distance,And the good that ice can do.

Against the strong representations of theDominions, and against the advice of many atHome who' seek the expansion of Empiretrade, the British Government proposes toabandon the central features of the Ottawameat policy and give unrestricted entry toforeign suppliers. This is the new policy whichhas emerged after months of discussion andnegotiation. What is to become of Dominionproducers and the meat industry of theoverseas Empire generally if these proposalsare ever adopted? Difficult as the position isto-day, it would be worse, perhaps chaotic,under uncontrolled, cut-throat competition.Only the British farmer would be in a positionto contemplate this position with equanimity.Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Elliot and theeasy acquiescence of the British Government,he would be comfortably sheltered behind aninsulated wall, and nothing that occurredin the outside world would be of muchimportance to him.

But what is the position of New Zealandand the other Dominions'? At Ottawa theywere assured that the British Government'spolicy, after safeguarding the development ofHome production, would be directed to givingthem an expanding share of the British market.Regulation of supplies was given a trial for twoyears, to the end of last June, and since thenthe British Government, in consultation withthe Dominions, has been considering thequestion of a permanent arrangement. Failingagreement, the regulation of Britain's importsof meat may be continued until August, 1937.It is for the Dominions to say whether theywill accept earlier variation. They are nowinvited to become parties to a set of proposalswhich could have nothing but an immediatedamaging effect, and might undermine theprosperity of a well-established but nowstruggling industry. They cannot give theirapproval to a change like this. A preferentiallevy, with a halfpenny charged on Empire meatlanded in Britain, and double that rate onforeign, would not safeguard the Dominions.A country with the vast producing capacityof the Argentine could surmount such anobstacle with the greatest of ease, and theDominions would be virtually at the mercy ofthis powerful rival.

To see the British scheme in its real lightit is only necessary to consider how it -wouldwork. The fund to subsidise Home producerswould grow as imports grew. That is, thelarger the amount of meat shipped to Britainby the Argentine and the Dominions, thelarger would be the sum available for distribu-tion in subsidies. As supplies increased,therefore, the tendency would be for the Homefarmer to receive a larger share of his incomefrom the meat levy and a smaller sharefrom the sale of his meat. It would be amatter of indifference to him whether he gotmuch or little of his income from the meatmarket provided the total result assured himof a profit. In this state of affairs thebest, the Dominions could do would be toreduce their costs, improve the quality andship larger quantities in the hope of offsettinglow prices by larger sales. But if they didthis they would still further depress pricesand put still more into the pockets of Britishcompetitors. They would be caught in avicious circle from which the only escape wouldbe some agreement among all overseasproducers, Empire and foreign, to regulatetheir supplies and share the market, whichwould be a practical impossibility; or forBritain to do as the Dominions propose, andregulate supplies, giving the Empire anexpanding share. There is no real alternativeto the plan advocated by the Dominions.Britain offers a choice between a quota and alevy, but these are equally obnoxious.

FIVE YEARS HENCE.

The centenary of the Dominion and of thiscity is now sufficiently near to warrant themovement, set on foot at the meeting of theCity Council last night, for making a startwith the necessary organising. Earlier in theweek citizens had been given a reminder ofthe approach of this date in the influentialdeputation that waited on the Mayor inrespect to the erection of a suitable memorialto Captain Hobson, the first Governor. NewZealand has neglected Hobson's memory, as ithas neglected Edward Gibbon Wakefield's, andthe coining centenary makes an urgent demandthat the omissions should be repaired.What New Zealand in general, and Aucklandin particular, owe to Hobson is bestsummarised in the words of W. P. Reeves:"He anticipated the French, baffled the land-sharks, kept the peace, was generous to theMaori and founded Auckland." But thismemorial, necessary though it is, will be onlyone feature of the centenary. What is needednow is the foundation of a local organisationthat will prepare steadily and completely forthe celebrations of 1940. Five years is nottoo long in which to perfect plans forexhibitions and pageants on the scale demandedby the occasion. It must be borne in mindthat the centenary will be national as well aslocal. The whole Dominion will be celebratingits hundredth birthday. Auckland andWellington, however, have their own founda-tions to celebrate. Wellington is the earlierfoundation, and this and the much moreimportant fact that it is the capital,give it precedence in the fixing of thelocation of centenary celebrations. Careshould be taken that there is no rivalry in thismatter; indeed, some time ago the AucklandCity Council proposed co-operation between

I the cities. Every centre that celebrates thecentenary should do so in a double sense—remembering its own history and the nation's.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

Quite a Different Dock.Enough to make a Chief Justice laugh

was a slip made before Sir Michael Myersby a witness in the Wellington SupremeCourt Witness was telling in narrativeform the story of a whip held up for repairs.At one stage counsel lost hie drift, and asked:"Well where are you now?" "In the dock,sir" witness replied. Quickly he amendedhis position to "In the floating dock."

New Kind of Watch."This is a new one on me. It is called

a powder watch." commented Detective-Ser-geant Thompson in the Magistrate's Court,Hamilton, referring to an article produced bya female witness. "Does it tell the tune?asked Mr. S. L. Paterson, S.M. The detectivethen demonstrated the operation, of thearticle, which expelled powder when a handlewas turned.

King's Wharf Conveyer.Permission to erect a structure across

King's wharf to convey butter from thestores to barges at the western side of thewharf was applied for by the Auckland Far-jiiere' Freezing Company in a letter receivedbv the Auckland City Council last night. Thecity engineer, Mr. J. Tyler, reported that per-mission had already been granted by theAuckland Harbour Board, and recommendedthat the annual rental be fixed at £20. Theapplieation was referred to the works com-mittee.

" Timaroo, On South Sea Island,"

"I was goin? to eay that this functionevery year helps to put Wales on the mapin New Zealand, but perhaps it is high timeNew Zealand put iteelf on the map in othercountries," said the Eev. -B. Llywelyn Wil-liams, at the St. David's Day banquet atTimaru on Saturday evening. "For instance,when I left to come to New Zealand, it wasannounced in one of the American news-papers that I was coming to 'Timaroo, onone of the islands of the South Seas.'"

Dive Again Rock.A young woman who dived into the water

near the Fitzroy Beach, New Plymouth, lastSunday, apparently struck a rock and wasknocked momentarily unconscious. When sherecovered, she found herself out of her depthaud unable to regain the shore. Fortunatelya party on the beach had been watching her,and they went immediately to her assistance.She was brought ashore in a semi-consciouscondition, and had obviously swallowed a con-siderable quantity of water, but revived underresuscitation methods.

A "Non-cippearing Appearance."An .unusual proceeding in the Supreme

Court at New Plymouth recently was amotion for the rescinding of a decree nitfi in

a divorce petition, in which a co-respondenthad been cited on the original petition. Coun-sel for the co-respondent stated he had notbeen able to notify his client of the presentproceedings, but under the circumstances hethought it unnecessary that there should bean appearance. The Hon. Mr. Justice Blairagreed, and said: "Then you appear, to sayyou don't appear."

Party of Maori Singers.cTreat interest is being aroused in Maori

and kindred circles by the assembling of a"Toup of prominent youivj Maori men andwomen nominated to visit Melbourne andtake part in the final phase of the Centenarycelebrations. The group goes under the nameof the Waiata Maori Choir, and will take thetrip under the patronage of the MethodistMaori Church. The party includes some ofthe finest Maori singers from each Maori dis-trict in the North nnd South Islands and theChatham Islands. They are to be farewelledby the Akarana Maori Association and othersat a function to be held in the AucklandTown Hall on Saturday week.

t" Not a Bed of Roses.""The position of Mayor is not a bed of

roses, ,, remarked the Mayor, Mr. I. J. Gold-stine, at a meeting of the One Tree HillBorough Council last evening. To illustratehis remark Air. Goldstine mentioned that onlya couple of days ago he had answered a tele-phone ring at his residence at 5.40 a.m., tofind a ratepayer of the district reporting thata dead rat wae outside her front gate, "andwould the Mayor have it removed immedi-ately?" On another occasion he had beencalled to the telephone in the early hours ofthe morning by a ratepayer who desired tohave a dead fowl removed.

Vandalism on Rangitoto.A complaint by the board's ranger of tlie

unauthorised cutting of firewood on Rangi-toto was received by the board at a recentmeeting. A motion to prosecute the offenderslapsed for want of a seconder, and it wasdecided instead to instruct the firewood cutterto appear before the board "to show causewhy proceedings should not be taken." At itslast nieetin" the matter was dealt with. Itwas found" that the offender, a firewooddealer from St. Helier's Bay, had made severaltrips to the island in a launch and had re-moved burnt standing timber from the quarryarea. He stated in defence that it woe «

fairly common practice among those in hisbusiness to visit Rangitoto for pohutuk&wablocks. The board's chairman admonishedthe offender, and it was decided to issue apublic warning of prosecution for any repeti-tion of the offence.

Mount Albert Rates.A letter published on Thursday over the

nom-de-plume of "Absent" stated that therates in Mount Albert are creeping up yearby year. On referring this to the MountAlbert Council, it is ascertained that exactlythe reverse is the case. For the past threevears the levy for general, separate andspecial rates was:-1931-32, £81,430; 1032-33,£80,831; 1033-34, £70,005; and the estimatefor the current year, 1934-35, ie £71,250.Kate- charges for refuse removal, nigjitsoilremoval and meter water rate minimumcharge have, over the same period of fouryears, been reduced by a sum of £1543, sothat the total reduction in rating from 1031-32 to 1034-JIS is £11,723. It is added thatthe vagaries of the levy upon individual rate-payers, varying from year to year, are mat-ters over which the council has no control,as it must levy its rates upon tlie value ofeach separate property as assessed by theGovernment Valuation Department.

Milk for Children.The great value of milk to children was

stressed by the Governor-General, LordBledisloe, when speaking at the children'sgathering at the Domain yesterday afternoon.New Zealand, he said, was a land flowingwith milk and honey. The adequate supplyof milk for the young, even if it was at thepublic expense, was a flue liational invest-ment, both in providing stalwart, robust citi-zens, who would do credit to the nation inthe future and also in eaving hundreds ofthousands of pounds now expended by thetaxpayers and ratepayers in remedying thewidespread after-effects of youthful malnutri-tion. Of all the highly-civilised countries,Great Britain and New Zealand were said tohave the lowest consumption of milk per headof population in the world. Britain wasworse than New Zealand, but he was not surethat ehe produced eo much. Britain was nowembarking on an active "milk crusade," andhe ventured to hope that New Zealand, withfewer difficulties to face, would do the. same.

"Quiet Enjoyment."A request from the Auckland Free Speech

Council for permission to hold a processionfrom Quay Street West via Queen Street tothe Domain-, and to hold a meeting in theDomain on Sunday. April 28, between 2 p.m.and (i p.m., was 'declined by the AucklandC'itv Council last night, on the motion of theMayor, Mr. G. W. Hutchison, who said that"the Domain should be reserved for the quietenjoyment of the citizens."

Motion's Creek a Nuisance.A deputation representing ratepayers and

residents waited upon the Auckland CityCouncil last evening with a request thatimmediate action bo taken in connection witha nuisance and danger to health created byMotion's Creek, near Point Chevalier, and insupport a petition signed by over .'3OO resi-dents wae presented. The creek wan describedas a breeding place for mosquitoes and rats,and it was stated that in winter trouble wascaused by flooding. The matter was referredto the works committee.The Judge's Advice.

His Honor Mr. Justice Blair, to counselabout to ask Detective Meiklejohn in thewitness box at the New Plymouth sessions ofthe Supreme Court why he had not called acertain person, a witness for the Crown:"Don't ever ask a policeman a question begin-ning with why. 1 ueed to make that a cast-iron rule for myself when I was at the Bar.You invariably* get the answer you don'texpect, and frequently it is an embarrassinganswer." And, again, to counsel labouring apoint he had already made: "Don't run aftera bus when you've already caught it."

Out of the Past.The arrival of some "very old" girls at

the garden party held on Saturday to cele-brate the silver jubilee of St. Margaret's Col-lege, Chiistcliurch, caused a great .deal ofamusement. Their conveyance was a haneonicab, and their appearance as they steppedout of it was greeted with shrieks of delight.They were clad in the voluminous skirts,tightly belted, blazers, boater hats and but-toned* boot*, the complete school uniform asworn in 1910, and they carried drcss-baiskets.Another party drove up in a decrepit earwearing flowing motor veils which aresuch a feature of most family photographalbums.

Witness Rebuked.A remark to counsel made by the plain-

tiff in a civil action hoard in the SupremeCourt at 'Gisbo'rne earned n rebuke from Mr.Justice Smith. Under cross-examination bycounsel for the defence, the witness statedthat although he could lift and move his leftarm, there was no power left in it sus theresult of the accident which gave rise to hisclaim for damages. After further questionsto the the uses to which the arm could be

put, he exclaimed: "I could punch you on thenose and you would not feel it."' "Witness,"said his Honor, "you must not talk to counsellike that." His Honor's rebuke quickly stifleda murmur of laughter from the back of theCourt.Australian School Methods.

Writing home to Wangamii recently, aschool teacher who was once teaching in NewZealand, and is now at a private school inSydney, says that school.? in Australia usevastly different methads from those in NewZealand. Over there each child lias morningtea, and is supplied with a bottle of milkand an orange. "Their lunches are also pro-vided," the letter states, "a further drink ofmilk and two thick brown bread sandwiches(tomato and banana). Every afternoon forhalf an hour, when they come into school,they lie flat on their backs on little mate,and I am expected to play bush music tothem and at the same time see that theykeep lying down. It is not too easy a job, Imight say."

Domain Gates.Tlie contract for the erection of the new

Domain gates, under the bequest of the lateMr. William Elliot, lias been let to the Flet-cher Construction Company, who expect tocomplete the work in eight months. In orderto give the contractor possession of the siteas soon as possible, the Auckland City Coun-cil, at last night's meeting, authorised theimmediate carrying out of preliminary work,including the clearing away of existing struc-tures and the reduction of the ground to per-manent levels, ready for the foundation exca-vations. The engineer estimated that theinitial work, to be carried out immediately,would cost £07 10/, and the completion ofthe work next financial year would cost£830. The expenditure of these sums was

approved.

An Irresponsible Witness.Startling admissions by a boy nine years

of age were made in the Police Court recentlyduring the hearing of a charge of murder,states the Nelson "Mail." When the child,son of the accused, was produced as a witnessby the prosecution, he stated, in answer toquestions from the magistrate: "I have neverbeen to school. I have never heard of God.I don't know who God is. I don't know whatan oath is. I don't know what happens toboys who tell lies. ] haven't had a chanceto tell a lie. -. Having heard the child's

answers, the magistrate said : "[ am sure thatthis child comprehends neither the meaningnor the sanctity of an oath, and I am ofopinion that he is not possessed of sufficientintelligence and appreciation of the dutydevolving on him to tell the truth. In thecircumstances, it would be unwise to receiveas evidence any statement made by him."

Gift from Mr. T. O. M. Sopwith.Before the last contest for the America

Cup the Tamaki Yacht Club forwarded aletter to Mr. T. O. M. Sopwith, owner of thechallenger Endeavour, wishing him success inhis attempt to lift the cup. At a meetingof the club on Wednesday the commodore, Mr.W. A. Wilkinson, stated that he had receivedan autographed photograph of the Endeavourtaken when racing off Cowes. The inscriptionreads: "To the flag officers and members,Tamaki Yacht Club, T. 0. M. Sopwith." Mr.Sopwith thanked the club for its good wishes,and raid he was sorry that he had been un-able to fulfil them. It gave him great pleasureto think that yachtsmen in a land so faraway should have his interests at heart. Headded that he would be quite prepared to!meet the Americans again provided the rules |were met by both boats. The photograph isto be framed and given a place of honour onthe walls of the clubhouse, Bastion Point.

Was To-day a Holiday?Wae to-day a school holiday? That was

the question asked in a number of homes to-day, in which there were children of schoolJtge, and in not a few cases it was answeredpositively in the affirmative by the childrenthemselves. "Because the Governor said,"was the invariable reason given. The doubtarose over the announcement made yesterdayat the Domain by hie Excellency. "You havehad a good many holidays lately, but wefeel that we can't leave you on this occasionwithout putting in a request for one more."As soon as those children nearest Lord Bledis-loe heard the word "holiday," they waited tohear nothing more—least of all the mere endof the sentence, telling perhaps when the holi-day might be—and they burst into • genuinechildish enthusiasm. The result was thatthis morning a number of children did notleave their beds at the usual time, tellingtheir parents that to-day was a holidaygranted by the Governor himself. Severalschool committee men fell into the same error.It was broadcast last evening that to-daywas not a holiday, and this morning Mr. D.W. Dunlop, secretary of the Auckland Educa-tion Board. said that the date had yet to befixed. The headmaster of one school said thathe did not think it would be this term, whichwas already broken a good deal. ,

CONTRACT BRIDGE.

SLAM BIDDING ON THE HIGHSEAS.

(By ELY CULBERTSON.)The good ship Haiti was ploughing the

blue waters of the Caribbean, where, in anotherage, richly-laden Spanish galleons put onevery inch of available sail to out-sj>eed thepirate craft captained by Morgan and othersof that romantic age: However, in the smoke,,room of the ship there were four players whowere not interested in the placid blue of thowaters nor in the stories of piracy or con-quest, so rich in this section of the New World.They were intent instead upon a game ofContract bridge. The participants in the gamewere two gentlemen from New England—Mr.Walter Pendleton, of Boston, and Mr. Ladd,of Bristol, Conn., playing East and Westagainst Mr. Earl N. Cutler, of Morristown,N.J., and Mr. William J. Huske, of New YorkCity. Mr. Cutler was seated South, as dealer,and distributed the cards as follows:

South dealer. ■North and South vulnerable.

Mr. Cutler.

explanatory paragraphs.)South West North East1 <t> Pass 2 A Pass

l._Mr. Cutler and his partner had had nodiscussion of methods of bidding, exceptthat they used the Culbertson system. Itwas the first occasion during the session inwhich an opportunity to test out slambidding had come up, and the conventionhad not been mentioned between the part-ners. Mr. Huske decided to test his part-ner's knowledge of this convention.

2.—Mr. Cutler afterwards explained that hehad never used, the convention before inactual play, his only knowledge of it beingfrom reading some of my articles in news-papers. Of course, his response is perfectlycorrect.

3.—Probably North at this point should bidseven Diamonds. His holding in Diamondsis so strong that he can scarcely expecthis partner to have strength enough tobid again, and yet; in view of the vulner-able opening and rebid, a grand slamappears extremely probable.

4.—A beautiful bid on the part of Mr. Cutler.He reasons that inasmuch as he holds theKing-Queen of Spades, the Ace of Heartsand the Ace of Clubs, North's forcingtake-out and subsequent raise to a smallslam in Diamonds must show both theAee and King of Diamonds, in which casethe grand slam is a laydown. Obviouslythe bid of the grand slam is correct.Of course, there was nothing to the play

of the hand. A Club was opened, tlic adversetrumps drawn, and all 13 tricks cashed..

I have no doubt that Mr. Cutler spent anenjoyable vacation on his sea trip to thetropics, and I feel quite sure that one of theevents of that trip that he will recount withas great a pleasure as any other is the biddingand making of thie grand slam contract—thefirst, as he stated, of his bridge career.

NOT AMUSED!

8.8.C. AND HUMOUR

(By NELLE M. SCANLAN.)LONDON, January 29.

If you "can't fool all the people all thetime," you certainly can't please all the peopleall the time. The 8.8.C. has tried hard andit knows. Extremists on both sides, it wouldseem, sit beside their wireless set, night afternight, pen and paper at hand, not relaxingand hoping to enjoy part if not all of theprogrammes, and turning off when they findthe item not to their taste, but eager topounce on some word Or subject that offendsor annoys them. The late post is full of theirburning words, which are written while theiranger is molten, and even the frost and snowoutside, which they face in order to reach theletter box and ensure that Sir John Keith willhave their protest not later than breakfastnext morning, cannot cool them.

This week wo had a good bag. The twoback-chat comedians, Claphain and Dwyer,wore the culprits. In the rapid interchangea wrong word slipped out, and so devastatingwas the effect that the companion was almoststunned to silence. Thousands of telephoneswere ringing up the 8.8.C. simultaneously,gallon* of ink were being spread in protest.Meanwhile at each subsequent announcementof the news, an official apology was inserted,and those who had not heard the offendingword were puzzled. But the apology wasbroadcast each time.

The Sunday night surprise item was thenext to supply a theme for controversy. Mr.Bernard Shaw ami Madeleine Carroll the act-ress discussed sox appeal. To some this subjectwould have been an offence on any night ofthe week, but being Sunday doubled the crime.The B.Ji.C. authorities have replied to theSunday Observance Committee, which led thecomplaint, stating that it was part of anexperiment to have discussions on Sundaynight as a surprise item. They are standingfirmly upon this decision to make experimentsand strike a balance between extremists'

The third of the week's bag was what theauthor, Mr. Irwin-Dash, described as a rol-licking comedy song, with no vulgar implica-tion. This song, however, raised another stormof protest, and the 8.8.C. mail bag was burst-ing with protests, the morning after its firstinclusion by a dance band. "The Pig got up,and slowly walked away." That is the nameof the song, and here is the first verse:One evening in October, when I was far from

sober,To keep my feet from wandering: I tried.

My poor legs were all α-flutter, so I lay downin the gutter.

And a pig came up and lay down by myside.

We sans, "Never mind the weather just aslong, as we're together,"

Till a lady passing by was heard to say:"All his self-respect he loses when such

company he chooses,"And the pig got up and slowly walked

away.

The banning of this song from the 8.8.C. hasgiven it the usual advertisement that falls likea benediction upon outcasts in literature andart; they prosper exceedingly in consequence.

What win happen when we get televisionwill be another matter. Will the ballet beallowed to wear ballet dress? Will chorusgirls be permitted to kick higher than theirknees? Who will act as censor of dresses?At present "the tired business man's" sort ofshow is a girl-and-music plus dancing affair,and only those who enjoy thie frothy fun,which includes Cochran's revues, pay to go.But if some of the scenes were shown intothe parlours of the protesters, the outcrywould deafen London.

THE PASSING SHOW.

(By THE MAN ABOUT TOWN.)

Dear M.A.T.y—I have been going throughthe South African War relics box, and I founda hymn sheet that was issued to the troops

in the early days of theHYMNS AND .303. war. We used to have a

Sunday morning servicewhen convenient. Sometimes we would havea fair march to get to the appointed spot.We used, of course, to turn out ready equippedior a fight, rifle, bayonet and ammunition,etc. The thought that ueed to strike me verystrongly was the fact that we were there,and for all we knew the enemy were over theother side of the hill, and we were both offer-ing up our prayers and thanksgiving to thesame God. I think I had better do what I didin those far-away days, leave it at that, eh?I was serving with the regular army at thetime, and it was during the attempts to relieveLadysmith.—Late Sapper, R.E.

It looks as if the codlin moth was rollingup its sleeves and moistening its palms tosettle our apple trade, drat it. Cheerful

entomologists have saidAN- APPLE A DAY. that the final bout on

earth, will be betweenmen and insects, and that insects will win.Personally one won't believe it, but will goon digging out the codlin and eating what hehas left. Anyhow, what one wante to do isto repeat what an old-timer came in to saylast year. He eaid he was one of t';!ie lads inthe dear, dead days, who used to beachcuinbwhere the Ferry Building rears its handsomeface. A shipment of apples from overseasarrived in this port. It was full of codlinmoth. The authorities, instead jf burning orburying this shipment, tried to drown it andpitched it in the sea o'ose to Queen Street.Dear'little boys naturally gle:''W this fruit,eating it gladly, and, of course, discarded thecodlinny bits here, there and in Poiisonby oreven further. Hence this threat to the NewZealand apple trade. One, of course, does notguarantee the accuracy of the story as to thearrival of 'his pestilent immig.a, /—but iheold Auckland boy was very earnest about it.

Colonial people lucky enough to be ableto have a look-see of the Old Land plan toreach London in April or the beginning of

May, so that they canENGLISH take a trip to Upper

doing what it does better in Blighty than any-where elisc. An Auckland lady, however,reached London in February, shivering some-what—until the snow came! She sat quitecomfortably in her London flat with thewindow wide open gazing at the snow-coveredgarden and feeling quite comfy. Englishrelatives and friends, welcoming her gladly,strewed her way with English spring flowersin bleak, sunny,; snowy February—which is tosay tha-t you can get everything in Londonat any season. London itself, a notably floralspot—there are some marvellous window-boxes about and hundreds of acres of parks—is enormously sentimental about springflowers—and don't the Devon and Cornishpeople know it! Nowadays, too, the ScillyIsles are not a bit silly. The people therereason that there are about eight millionfolk all in one bunch in London singing outin winter for spring flowers—and there areseventy-mile an hour trains and fast lorriesand crackajack 'planes—so Fan got her springflowers in February. Very nice, too!

Bookworms, or even scanners of evanes-cent "best sellers" (Wallaces and Goulds),insensibly conjure up in the mind's eye the

■heroes or the villains theyPRINT AND are reading about. Many

PICTURES, authors know that theartist "made" the book.

You can never read Dickens' books withoutseeing the artist's idea of Sam Weller or Mr.Pickwick and the glorious host of peoplethronging the pages. Even if you have neverread a Captain Kettle etory you know thatKettle was a fierce little chap with a pointedbeard, an undershot jaw and a cigar—andyou can't read a Sherlock Holmes tale with-out seeing a tall, thin, aesthetic-looking manin a deerstalker cap. Walter Paget died quiterecently. He was the original of SherlockHolmes. His brother, Sidney, sketched himfor the part and so helped very much indeedto popularise the writing. It occurs to onein thinking how one visualises fictionalcharacters that the everyday, popular bookis too little illustrated. A book, for instance,seems incomplete without a photograph of theman /who wrote it. It should be »s usual asfinger-prints in a watohhouse. And don't youthink that less writing and more pictureswould improve all modern books? Even Gals-worthy might be heavily sub-edited and anartist called in to fill the blanks.

It needs but Pan with his pipes or Amaryl-lis in the shade to perfect a scene of match-less sylvan loveliness. You are to imagine

the long super-suburbanSYLVAN SCENE, road, its grass borders

stretching apparently intoinfinity, the nestling bungalows with thewarbling (but imprisoned) canaries, twitteringto the sunlight and the mortgagor insidethanking Providence for bacon and eggs. Asfar as the eye can reach the grass bordershave been scythed by the leisured classes,forerunners of a permanent leisured clas3 theState has so kindly contemplated. In short,as one says, the scene was one of matchlessmodernity. It needed but one idyllic touch tocomplete a sylvan tout ensemble, searchingthe hearts of the aesthetic. It was providedby a motherly State, already aware that mancannot live by bread alone. On a sylvancorner there lias dwelt for many moone atumulus of stone setts in order that whenmunicipal aesthetes think in terms of foot-path they shall be rushed to the selected pave-ment. Sprouting from the interstices of thistumulus were the grasses of the field, beauti-fied here and there with a blossom. An artistattired in the costume of his temporary callingleaned lovingly over this expression ofNature's ruthless perseverance. His. long-handled shovel and his mattock were piled inperfect order nearby; hie coat was disposed inartistic array with his lunch bag on a whitepaling. He was hand picking the weeds frombetween the stones. All's well, the work ofthe country proceeds apace, the unemploy-ment fund swells—there are other heaps ofmetal to be hand picked, and Amaryllis shallsit in the shade for the next decade watchingthis progress of art combined with refreshingtoil.

IN THE PUBLIC MIND.

THE NAZI SPIRIT.

A WORD FOR GERMANY

(To the Editor.)Now that so much is being said against

the'epirit of Nazi Germany it _ is well toremember that it owes its origin in part tothe work of British statesmanship. In 1918the German people laid down their arms in thebelief that there would be accorded to thenj

the just and honourable peace foreshadowedin President Wilson's Fourteen Points. Insteadof this a treaty was forced upon them whichto-day seems nothing short of amazing inits severity, stupidity and injustice. ThisTreaty of Versailles was agreed to by Britain'srepresentatives and enforced upon Germanylargely through the fear of the continuanceof

°

Britain'* naval blockade. The burningresentment of to-day is merely the naturalresult of the actions of the Allied statesmen.Even harsher terms were imposed upon Tur-key by the Treaty of Sevres, but in thatcountry conditions were different, and it waspossible for the Kenialists to overthrow thepeace settlement by force of arms. By thesubsequent Treaty of Lausanne it appearedto be proved that justice can only bo got bythe use of force: Turkey then gained a peacethat satisfied her ambitions. Germany, onthe other hand, waited another ten yearsbefore rebelling against the tyranny of Ver-sailles. Now that she has done so it is to behoped tha. her viewpoint will be fully appre-ciated by 'Britain's leaders. If it is not, andwar follows through a failure to revise thetreaty, then the blame for the conflict will restwith us. PRO-NAZI.

CREATING MONEY.

The Marquess of Zetland, governor of theBank of Scotland, was perfectly correct inhis statement. Banks create nothing. Theylend what they have received from others.The theorists, not having had the necessarypractical experience, dogmatically assert thatthis is all wrong and they also disagree amongthemselves. Briefly, credit and money (orcurrency) are created in the following manner:Taking this country as an example, the farmerproduces and the merchant buys and ships hisproduce to, say, London. The farmer wantsto be paid immediately to enable him to carryon. The merchant to pay him goes to hisbank and hands over his title to the goods,viz., bill of lading, insurance policy and invoice,accompanied by his draft (or bill) drawn onthe overseas purchaser of the produce at theprice agreed upon. The bank discounts thebill (that is, it pays the face value less_ asmall commission for its services), and creditsthe account of the merchant in its books withthe amount. Thus a credit is created. Nowit seems to me that the real creator of thecredit was the farmer, for without his producethere would not have been any credit. The"authorities" hit on the stage where a bankwrites up the figures in its books and eay thebank creates the credit. As to the creationof money (or currency): This consists prin-cipally of cheques, bills and drafts. The totalalways in circulation would be enormouslygreater than the £0,000,000 of notes. Notesare drawn out of the banks by cheques andare a convenience to the public for the pay-ment of wages and for till and pocket money.The banks do not regulate the issue of notes.A person with an account at the bank makesout his cheque and stipulates what other cur-rency he will exchange it for, which may beanything from halfpennies to a £5 note. Itis therefore quite evident that the owner ofthe credit at the bank, whether the accountbe in credit or overdrawn, controls both hieown and bank currency. Theorists claim thatbanks control the currency to their own advan-tage. "Puzzled" and others can jud,ge forthemselves. The above are indisputable facts,knowledge of -which has not been gatheredmerely from a study of the "authorities."* R.T.E.

THE B STATIONS.

We read in the Press that the Rev. C. G.Scrimgeour is asking for at least £1000 asa "fighting fund" in his campaign against theGovernment's proposed amendment to theBroadcasting Act, and also that he intends tofly from place to place organising his cam-paign. These few words' give us food forthought, coupled with the fact that he stateshe hae already been to Wellington sixteentimes in six months over these broadcastingmatters. The Friendly Road was given aradio license for a particular purpose, andprovided it adheres to the terms of its license,then the Rev. C. G. Scrimgeour has no fear ofany new board taking away his rights in thisdirection. If, however, he "wants to vary hislicense, then certainly the board or the Poetand Telegraph Department must interfere.Would it "not be the proper and mos-t courteousact for Mr. Scrimgeour to convene a meetingof those radio clubs interested and have thematter discussed and a plan of campaigndrawn up without rushing into matters? Aproperly organised deputation to the authori-ties and a quiet discussion will surely get usfurther forward than this touring around thecountry. What of the IZB Club; has.it beenconsulted over this matter? I think it is hightime the public woke up and started to askthemselves a few questions.

ROAD MENACES.

Speeding cyclists, cyclists who "wobble" allover the roads, cyclists who ride three andfour abreast, cyclists who double and treblebank, and impertinent cyclists who never failto be rude even to lady motorists, are a menaceto themselves and the motoring public atlarge, and the suggestion ha* been made thata corps of honorary traffic inspectors shouldbe appointed to give valuable aid to the paidofficials and thus make the roads safer fo ,'all classes of users. The Great South Roadbetween West field and Papatoetoe is regardedby many youths as a speedway, and everynight there are exhibitions of cycle acrobaticsthat are hair-raising in the extreme. Youthswho appear to have no sense of fear or dangertreat passing cars—when they are allowed topass—as pacemakers, and at the end of asprint catch on tQ the luggage carriers, sparetyres or any other projection, to the dangerof themselves and others behind. The sameperformances are repeated on the New NorthRoad and other thoroughfares, and when acci-dents take place often the wrong party isblamed. Speeding motorists who have noregard for traffic laws are an added menaceand should be severely dealt with.

The community certainly has a right tuexpect protection of its children. The HowardLeague for Penal Reform suggest* that onlyby a rational scientific treatment of offenders,in which corporal punishment finds no place,will repetition of such offences be prevented.The basis of such treatment must be the studyof the person offending rather than the "»e

The security for which your corres-pondent "Parent of Four" asks, surely can be.best obtained if psychological and medicaltreatment appropriate to the individual offen-der is given.

ATHENS,JkIarch 7.Suddenly disappearing from Crete,

due to aerial bombing, the rebel war-ships are now carrying on guerillaattacks around the coasts.

In addition to the cruiser Averoff'scapture of Mitylene, an island in thearchipelago, one of the rebel destroyersshelled Salonika, where the harbour isthickly mined. It then disappeared ina mist.

The Averoff moored off Mitylene, andshe disembarked marines and . occupiedthe town.

Loyal ships have sailed under sealedorders. It is expected they will givebattle to the rebels. Shipping has beenwarned that the instructions given frompatrolling aeroplanes must be carriedout, otherwise all ships approachingPiraeus will be fired on without for-mality.

A Milan message says General Plas-tiras, the rebel leader, arrived therefrom Brindisi.

"The Times" Athens correspondentsays that optimism prevails at Athens.Volunteers and reservists, includingmembers of well-known families, areflocking to the colours.

Public feeling, irrespective of party,bliows the greatest abhorrence of therebellion, which it is estimated hascaused £2,500,000 damage. This, it isexpected, will be recovered by the con-fiscation of the leaders' property.

RECORD BROKEN.

MOTOR CAR SPEED.

Sir M. Campbell Reaches 281Miles an Hour.

AVERAGE DASH 276.816

(United P.A.-Electrlc Te.'egraph-Copyright)

(Received 1 p.m.)DAYTONA BEACH, March 7.

Sir Malcolm Campbell, the famousBritish motor speed driver, broke hisown world record on Daytona Beachto-day. His former time was 272.108miles an hour, established here 'in1933. The new record is 276.816miles an hour.

On the southbound run the car regis-tered a speed of 272.727 iniles an hour,but on the return, driving with the wind,the ear readied a speed of 281.030 miles.

British engineering genius is typified inthe Bluebird used by Sir Malcolm Camp-bell, in which he hopes to reach a landspeed record by travelling at 300 milesan hour. The car is larger and heavierthan the earlier one, but despite this factits wind resistance is lower, the shape ofthe body haying been determined afterexhaustive wind-tunnel tests. Althoughthe 2500 h.p., 12-cylinder Rolls-Royceaero engine has now to propel a vehicleweighing more than five tons, accordingto estimates it should bo capable of obtain-ing a velocity in excess of 300 milee anhour, providing the beach at Daytona isin a suitable condition.

For the first time air brakes have beenfitted, in the form of two large flaps oneither aide of the driver. They operatesimultaneously with the ordinary brakingsystem. At 300 m.p.h. the air resistanceis approximately 13001b, and to reach thisvelocity the car will have to travel atmore than 146yds per second.

Tests have shown that if the radiatorshutter can be closed when the car istravelling at maximum velocity an addi-tional speed of 15 m.p.h. can be attained,and in consequence a special lever hasbeen fitted near the steering wheel tooperate this shutter. "It will mean thatI shall have to take my hand off thesteering wheel when the car is travellingat something in the neighbourhood of 300m.p.h.," Sir Malcolm said. "I do notknow whether I shall be able to let gothe wheel to use the lever, but I shalltry."

Another important feature is theadoption of twin rear wheels to avoidwheel-spin and slip.

The overall length of the new Blue-bird is 28ft 3in, and its width 6ft llin.The wheelbase is 13ft Bin, and the groundclearance only 4%in. The fuel capacityis 40 gallons, and the engine consumes2.9 gallons per minute.

AUSTRALIAN FIRM SUED

(Received 9.30 a.m.)SYDNEY, this day.

Judgment on a number of importantissues in favour of B. Davis, Ltd., wineand spirit merchants, London, in a claimfor £200,000 against Tooth and Co.,Ltd., was delivered by Mr, JusticeHalse Rogers in the Commercial CausesCourt.

The amount was claimed as damagesfor alleged breach of contract underwhich the defendant company acceptedan agency from the plaintiff companyto sell Watson's whiskies in New SouthWales.

The judge said defendants had failedto make advocacy of the sale ofWatson's whiskies the feature of theirbusiness hi Scotch whisky. They hadfollowed the easy course of acceptingorders rather than "pushing."

His Honor also found the defendantsguilty of negligence in bottling Watson'swhisky, in the course of which linerscomposed mainly of lead instead ofpure tin had been used in the stoppers.Discoloration of some of the whiskyhad followed, and the result had beena setback to the reputation of thewhisky.

The question of damages is to boargued on Monday. It is understoodthat tlie costs in the case already exceed£20,000.

BALKAN DISPUTE.TURKS' ACTIVITY.BULGARIAN PROTEST.

Concentration of Troops onThe Frontier.

APPEAL TO THE LEAGUE.

(United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright)

(Received 12.30 p.m.)GENEVA, March 7.

M. Antonoff, the Bulgarian dele-gate to the League of Nations, hasdirected attention to the concentra-tion of Turkish troops on the Turko-Bulgarian frontier. If it continuesthis will necessitate an appeal to theLeague, he states, but it is hoped afriendly settlement may be affected.

It is added that Turkish forces inEastern Thrace during 12 months haveincreased from one division of infantryand one cavalry to four of infantry andone cavalry, in addition to artilleryaggregating 500 guns.

The Turks, it is contended, are alsorecruiting irregulars designed to operatein Bulgaria in the event of hostilities,displaying a feverish activity similarto that on the eve of war, including thefomenting of civilian agitation againstBulgaria, while troops openly talk ofan early offensive. They declare theycould occupy Southern Bulgaria within24 hours.

It is further stated that the Turks'reply to the Bulgarian protest declaredthat the "moves were made to defendthe Dardanelles."

M. Antonoff pointed out that if theTurkish concentration had followed theGreek revolt it would be more explicableas a warning to Bulgaria not to takeadvantage of Greek embarrassments,but it developed before the Greek out-break.

Piquancy is added to the situationowing to Tewfik Rushdi Bey at presentbeing president of the League Council.

Meanwhile the Turkish Minister atBerne received a newspaperman and

ridiculed the suggestion of Turkishbellicosity. He said Turkey, as a mem-ber of the Balkan Entente, was asso-ciated with Greece in a special ententeand could not be indifferent to Bulgariantroops' movements at present beingcarried . out on the Bulgar-Greck

PEACE BULWARK.

CO-OPERATIVE SECURITY,

(British Official Wireless.)

(Received 1.30 p.m.)RUGBY, March 7

Mr. Anthony Eden, Lord PrivySeal and British representative atthe Lesi.'—'.' of Nations, referred tothe recent White Paper on defencein a speech delivered at Swindon to-night. He declared that there wasno security in armaments comparablewith that which could be • derivedfrom effective working of a collectivepeace system, and that the foreignpolicy oi the British Government wasunalterably based upon the League ofNations as being the most effectivemechanism yet devised to operatesuch a system.

The' moderate measures of nationaldefence provided for in the White Paperdid not constitute in themselves anydeparture from that policy, while theBritish Government's devotion, to theLeague and to the collective peacesystem had recently been many timesdemonstrated. Nevertheless, peace couldnot be fully assured until all nationswere members of the League, and in-spired in their national policy by thespirit of the Covenant. •

The truth was that the collectivesystem was at present in a state ofevolution, and until all nations sharedequally the desire to co-operate in theworking of that system, those Govern-ments who believe in it have an obliga-tion, not only towards one another, buttowards their own people, to takeelementary precautions.

The British Government was atpresent endeavouring to bring about asettlement to meet the nervousnesswhich certainly had increased in Europeduring the last few years.

The fears, suspicions and ambitionswhich had darkened Europe's politicalhorizon were of immense significance tothe British people. Science had modifiedBritain's geographical isolation, and theconsequences of European events werefelt more directly, although the politicaloutlook of the British people had notas yet undergone any similar change.

The spirit of comparative detachmentwhich survived from the days of theirisolation enabled them better to con-tribute to pacification which was asmuch in their own interest as in thatof any Continental nation. While in-creasing anxiety had meant increasingarmaments in many countries of Europeand elsewhere, Britain's armaments,foiii pared either with tlie immediatepost-war period or the period before thewar, showed' a reduction.

As an example Mr. Eden stated thatthe tonnage of the British Navy in 1914was 2,100,000, and was now 1,180,000,while personnel had been reduced from132,000 to 02,338. At the end of thewar Britain had the preatest Air Force,I)iit now came only fifth among the airPowers. The British Army was littlemore than a police force.

The truth was that the expenditurewhich the present proposals involvedwas due to the fact that elementarymeasures of national defence had beendelayed in the hope that an inter-national agreement would eventuallymake them unnecessary. He empha-sised that if the international situationmodified these defence measures wouldbe modified also.

BUTTER "MYSTERY."

Canada's Expected SurplusDisappears.

BELIEVED "BOOTLEGGED."

NEW YORK, March 7The Ottawa correspondent of the

"New York Times" says the anticipatedbutter surplus of between 12,000,000and 15,000,0001b, has mysteriously dis-appeared, according to the AgriculturalDepartment. Although the officialexports from Canada to the UnitedStates in 1934 only totalled 75001b,officials are inclined to believe that muchof the expected surplus was "boot-legged" across the border to meet thedeficit which resulted from the droughtand Mr. Roosevelt's curtailment ofproduction.

There is now a Canadian shortage inprospect, and it is understood thatlarge shipments have been ordered fromNew Zealand.

Inquiries made locally this morning donot confirm- the statements that largeshipments of butter have been orderedfrom New Zealand.

BODY FOUND IN SCRUB.

Word was received by the Opotikipolice yesterday that the body of awell-known Ohiwa resident, Mr. EdwinLincoln Wagner, aged 74, a widower,had been found at Ohiwa, about 12miles from Opotiki.

It was the practice of Mr. Wagner todrive a sledge to the farm of Mr. OscarReeves for skim milk for his pigs. Hecollected the milk as usual and left forhis home. Later his horses were foundnear his whare. It was evident that thehorses had bolted.

A search resulted in Mr. Wagner's hatand purse being found. The body wasdiscovered lying in the scrub a shortdistance away. Mr. Wagner had evi-dently been killed outright.

Sergeant Millar and Dr. H. M. Budclvisited the scene of the accident and the jbody was brought to the Opotiki morgue.

Mr. Wagner leaves two sons and onedaughter.

An inquest was opened at Opotikibefore the district coroner, Mr. F. J.Short.

Dr. Budd said he found a compoundfracture of the right forearm, and afractured left shoulder, which had beenforcibly torn forward and driven intotlie left side of the chest wall. Prac-tically all of the ribs on the left sidehad been smashed in, and there werevarious abrasions and small wounds onthe scalp, the left elbow and botharms and shoulders. Death must havebeen instantaneous, due to crushing ofthe heart and lungs by the fracturedribs and shoulder. Deceased had evi-dently made desperate efforts to stopthe horses, as the rope reins had beenwound around his forearms, which werebadly burned.' In his opinion the injurieswere consistent with the body havingbeen struck by a heavy portion of thesledge.

The inquest was adjourned.

ENTHUSIASTIC THANKS.

SCENE AT RECEPTION.

Few persons to whom this city hasaccorded a civic welcome have been re-ceived with greater enthusiasm thanthat shown this morning to "the mauwho gave £50,000 to the crippled chil-dren of New Zealand"—Lord Nuffield.Both from what lie said, and his man-ner of saying it, it was obvious to allwho heard him that to have given somagnificently had been to him more apleasure than a privilege or a duty.

The reception was. set down to takeplace in the council chambers, but be-fore the appointed hour it became ob-vious that that somewhat small roomwould not accommodate all who wantedto do honour to New Zealand's greatbenefactor. Accordingly the assemblagemoved to the concert chamber, whichitself was almost filled, both upstaireand down.

As soon as the visitor entered theaudience broke out cheering. Applausepunctuated the address of welcome givenby the Mayor, Mr. G. W. Hutchison,and also the reply of Lord Nuflield.Finally, as he concluded, the audiencespontaneously broke into Uiat cert., inhall mark of approval, "For He's a JolivGood/ Fellow," and then cheered again.Lord Nuffield waved a hand in response—and the first thing he did as he de-scended the dais was to stop to speakto a woman who was able to walk onlywith the aid of crutches. As lie leftthe Town Hall to go to ths luncheon inhis honour the crowd, wbicli had notdispersed, cheered him ajiin.

"We Should Never Forget."Waiting until the applause had

subsided, Lord Nuffield said thatwhat he had been able to do hadgiven him just as much pleasure as ithad given the people of New Zea'and.Anyone who had been born with awhole body should never forget thetrials and tribulations of those who hadnot been so born. If cripples wer» tobe helped then it should be done whenthey were young.

"And if we do not do it we havefailed in our duty," he added. "I haveto thank the Almighty that I was bornwithout troubles of the flesh—though Ihave had plenty of others. My feel-ing always goes out to cripples, whoare handicapped."

It was his hope that New Zealandwould be able to make some arrange-ment to give greater aid to cripples.If ever he had to leave England itwas his desire that he should beallowed to come and live in New Zea-land.

Three Reasons for Welcome.For three important reasons he was

glad to welcome-Lord Nuffield on behalfof the city, said .the Mayor—first be-cause he was a great industrialist;secondly, a great Imperialist; and,thirdly, a great philanthropist. WhatLord Nuffield had done in the sphere ofindustry was, in the Mayor's mind, ananswer to American mass production.Lord Nuffield was the largest employerof labour in the British Empire, andin such a time as the Empire had justpassed through the employment of somany men had meant much. LordNuffield was a great advocate of Empiretrade, and in his worke canteens he per-mitted the use of only New Zealandbutter and cheese.

"A Great Philanthropist.""And thirdly," the Mayor added, "we

welcome him as a great philanthropist."It was then that the audience broke intosustained cheering. It was not themoney that Lord Nuffield had madewhich people admired, said the Mayor,but the uses to which he put it. Hehoped it would not embarrass LordNuffield if he told the audience that theamount given to worthy causes by LordNuffield approached £1,000,000. "Thosechildren who have suffered physicallyand even mentally will have cause toblese the coining of Lord Nuffield toNew Zealand," the Mayor added, "andnot them only, but their parents." Thepeople of the Dominion would like tothank Lord Nuffield for his great mag-nanimity. He was sure that what LordNuffield*had done would act as a stimu-lus to those in New Zealand who werefinancially able to go and do likewise. Hethought that Lord Nuffield's gift wouldquicken the interest in New Zealand incrippled children.

Amongst those at the reception werethe president of the Auckland RotaryClub, Mr. G. L. Taylor, and also a repre-"eentatire of the Public Trustee, whoadministers the estate of the late Mr.H. S. Dadley, who made provision inhis will for the establishment of ahospital for cripples.

VISIT TO AMBUIJANCE.

Lord Nuffield, who is a senior officerof the Venerable Order of St. John,paida visit to the St. John Ambulanceheadquarters this morning. He wasaccompanied by Mr. C. J. Tunks, and atthe station was met by the secretary-manapter, Mr. S. E. Langstone. '"LordNuffield inspected the station and theambulances, and expressed appreciationof the high standard of the equipment.

GOVERNMENT NOMINEES.

NO DECISION YET

(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)WELLINGTON, this day

No decision has yet been made as tothe Government appointments to theDairy Board, according to a statementmade ill the House of Representativesyesterday by the Minister of Agricul-ture, Mr. Macmillan.

Mr. C. A. Wilkinson (Independent,Egmont) inquired whether the Govern-ment accepted any responsibility forthe repeated statements that such ap-pointments were already arranged, andwhether it recognised that statementsof that nature were likely to prejudicethe prospects of candidates in localitieswhere it \va* stated that the Govern-ment appointees resided.

"Statements of the character men-tioned have no foundation in fact, samthe Minister, "and the Governmenttherefore cannot accept »«/"«£.bilitv for them or for anyeffect they may have on any candi-dates."

MORE GIFTS.CRIPPLED CHILDREN

HOME IN AUCKLAND.

MR. W. R. WILSON'S OFFER.

LORD NUFFIELD ADDS £10,000.

Great and sustained applause greetedan announcement by the Mayor, Mr. G.W. Hutchison, at the luncheon to LordNuffield this afternoon, that Mr. W. R.Wilson had offered his magnificent home,St. Leonard's. Takapuna, as a home forcrippled children.

On top of this announcement cameone from Lord Nuffield that he wouldgive £10,000, additional to his gift ofAMO.OOO, as the nucleus of an endow-ment fund for the whole of New Zea-land.

'"I can .=ense the desire of the peopleto show Lord Nuffield their keen appre-ciation of his magnificent gift," saidhis Worship. "There is only one way forthem to do that, and that is for someonein an official capacity to act on theirbehalf. I propose to open a list toenable expression to be given of thethankfulness of the people for this gen-erous gift.

"I was encouraged to do this by therepresentations that have already beenmade to me," continued Mr. Hutchison."Some people came to see me yesterdayand they offered, subject to the neces-sary endowment funds being granted, tomake a donation of their own home.That home is the home of Mr. W. R.Wilson, of Takapuna. It must haverequired considerable thought for Mr.and Mrs. Wilson to have even consideredsuch a proposal. When one realises thatMr. and Mrs. Wilson will walk out ofthat home, which is one of the finest, ifnot the finest in Auckland, one canrealise the greatness of the gift."

Cheers For Lord Nuffield.Lord Nuffield, who was greeted with

loud cheers and the singing of '"For He'sa Jolly Good Fellow," said he rose witha certain amount of embarrassment. Hehad certainly tried to do something forcrippled children, but had been over-whelmed with so much kindness andaffection that he could hardly say whathe wished to. In the first place, hethanked the Almighty that he was notborn a cripple, and for that reason hethought it was not only up to him, butit was up to everybody else who hadsound bodies and limbs to do what theycould for children born into the worlddeformed or crippled.

"I was overcome by the charity of Mr.and Mrs. Wilson," said Lord Nuffield."It is remarkable that these two peopleshould prepare to walk out of one of themost beautiful homes in the world—sizedoes not matter—after they have liver!there for 26 years-. I can only presumethat they have been stirred by what hasalready been done, but I do not thinkthey could have been stirred by any-thing better."

A National Matter.Lord Nuffield said that the cause of

crippled children had now become anational matter, and as endowmentswere being talked of, and since therehad been siich a generous offer mad-jthat day, he himself would offer £10,000for the start of an endowment fund forthe whole of New Zealand. (Loudapplause.) Mr. Hutchison had made amagnificent gesture for Auckland, andhe hoped that all the Mayors, both inthe North and South Islands, would dothe same. (Applause.)

"I shall then have a feeling," he said,"that at any rate in a small way I havestarted a very great work for thiscountry." (Renewed applause.) "I feelif that is done and the Mayors' fundscan collect such large sums of moneythat that endowment fund will growto such, an extent that my littledonation will go completely out ofsight."

A Voice: But not forgotten.Lord Nuffield said the fact remained

that work such as was undertaken forcrippled children could not be donewithout money. He referred to theorthopaedic hospital that he had builtclose to his works, and where littlechildren were taken who were born withtheir feet turned the wrong way. Manyof these could walk to-day almost aswell as anybody else. The only waywas to take the children there early,before their bones were set.

"If you take these poor little devilsin hand early enough," he continued,"you can make good citizens of them,and they "will not be in the position ofhaving to be wheeled about in chairsfor the whole of their lives. It is hor-rible to think of it. The little I havebeen able, to do has given me far morepleasure than it has given to those whohave reaped the benefit."

Lord Nuffield said that Mr. Norwoodwas responsible to- a great extent forthe donation he had originally made,lie had put the thought into his (LordNuffield'*) mind. He had seen somany crippled children that he at timesfelt embarrassed that his own limbswere straight. That was why hethought everybody who was fortunateenough to have straight limbs and agood body should look after those whowere not so well endowed. He wouldleave New Zealand leaving Mr. Norwoodin chnrge.

"I feel, even including this wonderfulgift of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, that thereshould be only one big national scheme,"paid Lord Nuffield, "becauee, in the end,with the fund that will be raised, it willstand a far better chance of succeeding.Unity is strength."

Lord Xuflield believed that it mightbo found that certain ailments could betreated better in one place than inanother, and vice versa. Therefore, thescheme should be treated nationally.

PRAISE FOR N.Z.

LORD NUFFIELD.

BUSINESS MEN'S LUNCHEON.« A GREAT IMPERIALIST."

Representatives of business and pub-lic life in Auckland attended a specialluncheon in honour of Lord Nuffield atMilne and Choyce's reception hall thisafternoon. The luncheon was arrangedby the Dominion Motors, Ltd., so thatLord Nuffield could meet the businesspeople of the city.

In proposing the toast '"Our Guest,"Mr. Norwood said Lord Nuffield was agreat industrialist. During the war allthe industrialists of Great Britain hadone big job, and it was not looking aftertrade within the Empire, or trade with-out the Empire. They had all to goout for one common purpose—the savingof the country from •ruin and devasta-tion, and Lord Nuffield had done his partin that connection. The progress otindustry in Great Britain was amazing.Men had "got behind" conditions with-out Government aid in the same old wayas did their forebears, and he hud oneof the leaders beside him that day inLord Nuffield. (Applause). Aboveeverything else their gi est was anunselfish imperialist—an imperialist ofthe highest type. There were only twoways for the Dominion to go—towardsclose and proper co-operation or towardsdisintegration. Lord Nuffield had cometo tlie conclusion that New Zealand wasthe most patriotic of all the Dominions.(Applause). In conclusion Mr. Norwoodsaid it was seldom one found such akind heart behind such a driving forcc jas was their guest. (Applause.)

Cause of Crippled Children.Dr. Bernard Myere, C.M.G., who spoke

of, crippled children, said that he hadseen thousands in England, who did nothave the means for efficient treatment.He believed that idealism would obtainhere in New Zealand, and 'that a gardenhospital, with all the necessities forcrippled children, would probably even-tuate. Xew Zealand could well trusther physicians and surgeons, for theDominion had some of the ablest menwhom he had met in any part of theworld.

Mr. G. Laurence Taylor, president ofthe Auckland Rotary Club, said novisitor to Xew Zealand had caused sucha stir "as had Lord Nuffield. He hopedthe citizens would take up the cause ofthe crippled children and obtain assist-ance from every source.

Lord Nuffield was accompanied by Mr.W. Hobbs (private secretary), Mr. G.Lloyd (Australasian representative ofMorris Motors), Mr. C. J. B. Norwood(chairman of directors, Dominion Motors,Ltd.), Mr. A. W. Duncan (general mana-ger of Dominion Motors, Ltd.), and Sir.D. Ardell (representing the New ZealandGovernment).

In the course of his response, LordNuffield referred to his visit to NewZealand seven yeare ago, and said therehad been tremendous improvements inour roads in the meantime. He woulddo his best to come back as soon aspossible for a longer stay. When theydid not want him in the Old Country,the first and only place he would cometo would be Xew Zealand. He did notsay that because he was talking to NewZealaiiders. He had said it hundreds oftimes in England.

"I want to see better understanding)better trade and better conditions ex-isting between the Old Country and thenew," he said.

Among the invited guests were SirCecil Leys, Mr. G. W. Hutchison (Mayorof Auckland), 'Mr. J. S. Brigham (TownClerk), Mr. J. A. C. Allum (chairmanAuckland Transport Board), Mr. T. B.Clay (chairman Auckland HarbourBoard), Mr. W. G. Goodfellow, Mr.Ernest Davis, Mr. G. R. Hogan (chieftraffic inspector), Group Captain Hew-lett. Mr. W.

NO BUSINESS.HOUSE ADJOURNS.

FARMING BILL NOT READY.

PRIME MINISTER EXPLAINS.

(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)

WELLINGTON, this day.

After having shown signs of falteringfor the last few days, the Government'slegislative programme collapsed tempor-arily last night, and the House is now

in adjournment until 3.30 p.m. on Tues-day.

Parliament has been in session forover three weeks, and it has passed onlyone bill, and that a measure of rela-tively minor importance, dealing withbondholders' rights. It has also com-pleted the committee stages of theMortgage Corporation Bill.

Bridging the gap between the finalstage of the mortgage bill and theintroduction of the "mystery" measurefor the rehabilitation of farmers'finances, the Broadcasting AmendmentBill was submitted, but second readingdebate on this bill, to which the Plouaedevoted its attention yesterday, provedto be an ineffective time-spinner, andwas maintained with obvious difficulty.It had already been announced that thecommittee stages would not be takenuntil the Minister had heard representa-tions from deputations to-day, and afterthe death-rattle of the debate sounded

at 11.l."> to-night, the Prime Minister,Mr. Forbes, was obliged to confess to theHouse that a hiatus had occurred, andthe Government was not ready with itsnext business. Accordingly he obtainedan adjournment until next Tuesday.

"You Might Have Told Us."The only comment from the Opposi-

tion benches was that of Mr. E. J.Howard (Labour, Christehurch South),

who murmured: "You might have toldus before seven o'clock," presumablymeaning that had members known inadvance of the development they couldhave caught the southern ferry and thenorthern train connections to their con-stituencies.

During a Parliamentary session thecost goes on irrespective of whether theHouse is sitting or not. as the stallshave to l>c retained and normal servicesprovided. Tims the country will footthe bill for the adjournment, and seeno result of any kind for it. Cynics,on the other hand, suggest that whileParliament is silent, even if it bo forfive days only, the country has thatadditional amount of freedom fromapprehension and that, amount of enjoy-ment of stability.

Members Not Pleased.Rank and file members are not at all

pleased that the break has occurred,since they realise fully what the reactionto it in the constituencies will be. Theyconsider the Government should havetaken steps eo to arrange its programmethat gaps would not occur, and so thatthe whole of the business could havebeen disposed of in five weeks. ThePrime Minister's explanation of thedelay, as given to the House whenasking for an extended adjournment,was this: "Owing to the fact that wehave not been able to get the otherbill—tin- one complementary to theMortgage Corporation Bill, dealing withthe ..rehabilitation of the fanning indus-try—we have decided to adjourn untilTuesday afternoon, when T can nowdefinitely promise the House will getthe bill. Owing to the fact that oneof the members of the staff of the LawDrafting Ofiice has hud to go into hos-pital for an operation, a good deal ofadditional work has been thrown onMr. Christie, the law draftsman. Ithas been a difficult bill to draft, andhas taken fur longer than was anti-cipated, but it will lie completed andwill be ready for , introduction by Tues-day. We will go on with that bill onTuesday."

Replying to a question, Mr. Forbessaid that if it were the wish of theHouse lie might instead <;<> nn with theBroadcasting Bill, Mr. Elamilton havingintimated he would bo ready to proceedwith the committee stages then. Hoadded tlmt the reason for not meetinguntil 3.30 )).m. on Tuesday was toenable members to attend the farewellluncheon to Lord Bk'disloc.

SMOKE NUISANCE.MORNINGSIDE AREA.

COMPANY CONVICTED.

"TO COME "UP FOR SENTENCE."

A prosecution by the Mount AlbertBorough Council some time ago againstK.D.V. Boxes, Ltd., charging the com-

panv with a breach of the health Actby causing a nuisance by smoke, wasagain before the Police Court to-day,when Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., took anunusual course and convicted andordered the company to come up forsentence in a month's time.

Mr. Terry prosecuted for the counciland Mr. Barraclough represented thecompany, which he said would have to

plead guilty.Mr. Terry reminded the magistrate

that the ease had been adjourned froma month ago to allow the directors ofthe company to see what could be doneto abate the smoke nuisance. In themeantime there had been no abatement.The smoke from the chimney of thefactory was a menace to the health ofthe residents in the vicinity. There wasconsiderable emission of acrid smoke.If necessary he could call a throatspecialist who would say that he hadtreated residents nearby because of thesmoke. The council first took up thematter about 15 months ago. A monthago the company gave an assurance thatefforts would be made to stop the nuis-ance, but little improvement had re-sulted. The council did not want toprohibit the company from operatingits factory, but merely insist on anabatement of the nuisance.

"The directors of the company havehad a consulting engineer seeking to findtho best means of lessening this smokenuisance," said Mr, Barraclough. "How-ever, it appears that to do this .villcost about £2.")0(). There has been nil

improvement since October and Novem-ber, as the company has refrained fromburning wax wood in the furnace."

Counsel ■ assured the Court that thecompany would in the end make an ::n----provoment which would be satisfactory,but it could not do it before June or.Inly, until work was at less pressure."If the factory luis to close down itwill mean that over 100 employees willbe out of work, and that would be niii'iworse than the nuisance," said Mr. Bar-indough.

"What about electrifying the plant?"suggested the magistrate.

Mr. Barraclough: That would not beany good, as the factory uses the steamfor treating wood and warping it.

Mr. Hunt: I will convict and orderthe company to come up for sentencein a month's time. If something isdone in the meantime it will affect thepenalty. If nothing is done that willalso affect the penalty.

QUADRUPLETS.BABIES DOING WELL.

EXCITEMENT IN DUNEDIN.

PREVIOUS CASE IN WAJKATO.

(By Telegraph.—Own. Correspondent.)

DUNEDIN, this day.Although it ' was originally claimed

that the quadruplets born to Mr. andMrs. George Johnson, of Cttvisham, werethe first in New Zealand, four babieswere born in the Dominion in 1919, allbeing males. This was at Ngaruawahia,but the name of the family and whetherthe children are still living is not knownhere.

Multiple births are most common inIreland, Russia and Spain, according toworld figures. The chance of twinsbeing born is. one in every 89 births,triplets one in 7000 and quadruplets onein 757,000. The Dionne quintuplets are,of course, well known, and one case ofsextuplete has been reported in Italy.

Mother Most Cheerful.The quadruplets were transferred this

morning to the Karrtftne Hospital, wherethey are expected to remain for severalmonths.

Among several messages of congratula-tion which have been received by theparents is one from the Prime Minister.

Subscriptions and gifts are being sentin, und tlie finance committee of the CityCouncil lias decided to recommend agrant of £100 to the parents.

The mother of the newly-born quad-ruplets is most cheerful. The babies areprogressing satisfactorily, and the doc-tors entertain the higliest hopes for theirsurvival. They were christened yester-day, the names chosen being Bruce,Mary, Kathleen and Vera.

For'a week before birth Mrs. Johnsonreceived special attention from Dr. J.B. Dawaon, professor of obstetrics, atOtago University.

Dr. Dawson said yesterday that thebabies were all well formed and normalin every way. Jt is understood thatthere were several pairs of twins in thefamily of Mrs. Johnson's mother, butDr. Dawson said he did not think thathereditary influence had played anypart in thi,, case. He looked on suchoccurrence as being an abnormality forwhich there could be no real accounting.

Professor Dawson was assisted by Dr.A. G. Gumming, and to Sisters Cliffordand Trevena lie pays tribute for theunfailing care they have given to thecase.

Married Over Ten Years.Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have been

married for slightly over ten years.They are aged 34 and '.V,i respectively.Mrs, Johnson is a New Zealander, herparents living at Falrfleld, near Dun-cdin. Mr. Johnson was born in Kent,England, where his parents still residein a small village named Hameastry.

There was an air of suppressed ex-fitment about the start' of the DunedinHospital when a reporter visited it onWednesday night. Two porters onduty were eagerly discussing the event,while across the hull a couple of nurses,in whispered tones, speculated on thefame which such circumstance hadthrust upon the hospital.

Perhaps .the coolest person of all wastlie father, although obviously he wasa proud and happy man.

"What, does it feel like to be thefather of quadruplets?" he was asked.

"To tell you tlie truth." he said, "Ican scarcely realise it vet."

Fie had just commenced the conversa-tion when the telephone in the porter'soffice close by rang loudly. The porter'shead appeared from the window to say:'"Your wife progressing favourably.Mr. Johnson." Then Dr. Dawson arrived,followed .1 minute later by the matron,both of whom congratulated the father.The doctor, indeed, seemed every whitas pleased and proud as the father him-self. The matron had probably forgottenthe: hour was approaching midnight inher enthusiasm over the event.

Advice by Air Mail."I sent an ail" mail letter to toll my

old father and mother of what was.-oing to happen," .Mr. .Johnson said,"but it only went yesterday, eo I sup-pose they will read about it in thenewspapers first."

Then the telephone rang ajrain, andonce more a head appeared from theollice. "Oh, Mr. Johnson," said theporter, ''your wife wants to see you."And, beaming all over his face" thefather hurried oil' in the direction ofthe ward.

WAIRATO QUADRUPLETS.

BORN SIXTEEN YEARS AGO.

The ap-pointment was made on the recommen-dation of the library committee, thechairman, Miss Ellen Melville, request-ing that her vote be recorded againstthe decision.

As a result of the committee's atti-tude Professor H. W. Segar, a co-optedmember of the committee for the last20 years, resigned. He wrote regret-inff that his notions of the right- wayto deal with public questions differed so

radically from those of the present com-mittee "that he could no longer under-take to share the responsibility of itsrecommendations to the council.

Professor Segar's resignation wasaccepted. and it was decided to thankhim for the long and efficient serviceshe had given to the council.

Council Divided.The council discussed the committee's

report for about an hour and a half, anda strong plea was made by a numberof councillor* for the retention of theyoung man's services. It was explainedthat he had been associated with thebranch library concerned for ten yearsat a remuneration of 10/ a week. Itwas an "indulgence" appointment to aperson who had been partially incapa-citated in an epidemic. He was em-ployed for two hours a day during theterm mentioned. In 1031, when all de-partments were instructed to curtailexpenditure, Mr. Barr had recom-mended that this assistant's servicescould be dispensed with, but he was re-tained. Last October the committeedecided to increase his salary to £130during a probationary period of threemonths, and at a recent meeting of thecommittee it was decided to confirmhim in the position, despite Mr. Barr'eadverse report.

The Mayor, Mr. G. W. Hutchison,said he had specially interviewed theassistant yesterday afternoon, and hadbeen impressed with his activities. Hewas thought a great deal of in his dis-trict. He had won a trophy for debat-ing, and had been runner-up in a debat-ing contest on another occasion. Hehad also conducted a Bible class forchildren, and had reviewed books "overthe air." The young man might not beas efficient ae Mr. Barr would wish, butwith assistance he would overcome hisdisabilities.

ZM r. A. J. Entrican thought it a dan-gerous precedent to ignore Mr. Ban'sreport. He did not desire to see theassistant thrown out of employment, butan increase of salary to £100 would besufficient.

"Special Treatment" Wrong.Miss Melville said the council should

place the young man in the position ofa first year assistant at a salary of £7oa year. He was now being placed at thetop of the grade. The action of thecommittee was not in the interests ofdiscipline or efficiency. All otherappointees were required to pass matri-culation and submit to a medical exami-nation by the council's offer. This assis-tant had done neither. It was not thufunction of the council to select any per-son for special treatment. There weremany other sons and daughters of thepoorer classes who also had suffered dis-abilities. It was not the way to spendthe money of the ratepayers. If theyoung man had matriculated during the10 years he had been at the library itwould have shown definite intention toqualify. It had also to be taken intoconsideration that "canvassing" for aposition was a disqualification.

Voices: ]t has been done in othercases. (Laughter.)The committee's report was adopted

on the voices.

SCHOOL FUNDS.

DEFALCATIONS REVEALEDBELMONT HOUSEHOLDERS MEET.

A special meeting of householders inthe Belmont School district was heldiast evening to consider a report fromthe school committee on its financialposition. Mr. J. W. Williamson pre-sided. *

The chairman of the committee. Mr.(-. Arthur, in his report, said he re-gretted that there were defalcations inthe committee's funds amounting toabout £180. They had occurred"overhe period since 1932. He explainedthat during the illness of the late trea-surer the committee had discoveredserious irregularities in the books \ftera complete audit by an independent firmhad been carried out defalcations hadbeen revealed. They included a sumbelieved to be about £100, the proceedsof the school's 21st birthday carnival,winch it had now been ascertained hadnot been banked.

Several of the fifty householders whoattended the meeting asked many ques-tions of the chairman and individualmembers of tile committee, and a sectionblamed the committee for ne"lio-enceJ" reply to this a member of the com-nnttee said that embezzlement happenedin even the most carefully-organisedcommercial houses and Government De-partments, whose frequent and appar-ently watertight audits were supposedto be a complete safeguard. Althoughlie was prepared to admit some care-lessness, it was wrong to hold the com-mittee entirely blame worthy.

It was explained by another memberthat the funds of tho committee wereheld in two separate accounts, one withthe Bank of New Zealand, which wasaudited by the Government, and theother in the Auckland Savings Bank.It was understood by the committeethat the late treasurer had also sub-mitted tho Savings Bank account to theGovernment auditors. That had notbeen done.

After a lengthy discussion, the meet-in o, passed the following, resolution:"That this meeting- of householdersaarees to give full support to the com-mittee's sports day to be held on Satur-day next, the fumta of which are to behanded to the committee for tho pur-pose, of recovering their financial losses."

The Labour Representation Commit-tee held a further meeting last eveningto discuss the selection of an officialLabour candidate for the Mayoralty ofAuckland. A decision was not reached,and a further meeting <>f the committeewill be held next Thursday.

THE CENTENARY.

AUCKLAND CELEBRATION.

THE MAYOR'S PROPOSALS.

Interest in the proposals for the cele-bration of Auckland's Centenary in 1940was revived by a report from the Mayor,Mr. G. W. Hutchison, received at ameeting of the Auckland City Councillast night.

Mr. Hutchison said that in 1931 thethen Mayor, Mr. G. Baildon, enteredinto correspondence with the .Mayor ofWellington to make mutual arrange-ments for advertising the celebrationsabroad and to avoid overlapping offunctions. Since then, however, thematter had been dormant both in Auck-land and in Wellington. It would befitting to select some major project,which could be undertaken and com-pleted ready for opening, preferably bya member of the Royal Family, as oneof the features of the celebrations. Amost appropriate additional feature, liethought, would be a centenary harbourregatta, organised on a scale commen-surate with the importance of the occa-

As a fund would be necessary for theadequate celebration of the occasion,Mr. Hutchison suggested that it wasnot too soon to set up a committee tobegin the work of organisation, and thatthe new council be recommended to givethis matter early consideration.

Moving the adoption of the Mayor'sreport, Sir. A. J. Entrican said thatWellington's centenary anniversary fellon January 22 and Auckland's onJanuary 29. Co-operation between thetwo cities would therefore be necessaryto avoid overlapping.

"The sooner we get on with ourarrangements the better. - ' said Mr. En-tricau. He proposed the appointment ofan influential citizens' committee. "TheAuckland Harbour Board might give usthe freehold of Victoria Park and nemay be able to open the harbour bridge,"he added.

The report was adopted.Hobson Memorial.

Mr. Hutchison also reported to thecouncil the views of a representativedeputation which had waited upon himwith a request that steps should betaken to erect in Auckland a suitablememorial to Captain William Hobson,the" first Governor of Xew Zealand. Ithad been proposed that the unveilingshould take place during the centenarycelebrations in 1940.

The report was referred to theincoming council.

LICENSING BREACH.

BIGGEST BABY.

WEIGHS 10ST AT THREE YEARS,

WEARS FATHER'S CLOTHES,

(Special Correspondent.—By Air Mail.)

LONDOX, February 1CThe biggest baby in tire world is

puzzling English doctors. This pheno-menal infant is Leslie Bowell, agedthree years, of Lowestoft. He weighslOst, and no one can stop him growing.

Dr. Dudley Bos well, who "discovered"Leslie for the medical profession, givesthe following account of him: "Thementality of the child is normal, lietalks, sings hymns, feeds himself (heis left-handed), and his memoryis good. He is very active. Heis not able to walk or stand, butthis is scarcely to be wondered at. Hisincrease in weight ie due to increasein fat, and not to skeleton over-development. His height is only. 30Jin,he has small feet and hands, and taper-ing fingers."

Leslie weighed 71b at birth. This ishis weight chart:—

1 month OH) So/.3 months Ist 21b (ionl> months 2st lib Soz

IS months 4st 181b 12oi2 years sst Gibo yeses lOst

Dr. Boswell made arrangements atChristmas for Leslie to enter a Londonhoepital for scientific observation. Lead-ing London specialists were to attemptto discover if Leslie could be slimmedto normal weight, like his elder brother,aged five.

But the child's mother refused. Shesaid: "I do not want to part with him.In fact, my husband and I are ratherproud of having what must be the big-gest baby in the world."

'•Little'" Leslie can just get into hiefather's sweaters, and his father'strousers—cut off at the legs, but let outat the waist—just lit him.

Leslie's condition is due to a type ofdyspituitarisin, an increase in adiposetissue, and he is under constant medicalcare.

A busy year was reported at.the an-nual meeting of the Ladies' HarbourLights Guild, held in the Missions toSeamen Institute yesterday. The chap-lain, the Rev. H. K. Vickery, presided.

The report also stated that the guildhas been unremitting in providing enter-tainment for sailors, who have been mostgrateful for what had been done forthem in this direction. During theChristinas season, all-day outings, fol-lowed by social evenings, were providedfor the lads in port.

During the winter months a scries ofbridge afternoons, which were excep-tionally well attended, had been organ-ised. In the month of October, theresult of a bridge evening was close on£20. This sum was -apportioned amongthe various stallholders of the nauticalfair for the purchase of goods andmaterials. In order to dispose of theunsold goods at the nautical fair, a shopwas opened at Newmarket for threedays, which added a further £18 to theproceeds.

The junior branch of the HarbourLights Guild,, under the direction of Mrs.Vickery and Miss Newton, had provedan unqualified success, and has renderedinvaluable service in entertaining themen off the various ships in port. This

branch has a membership of 32 girls,under the direction of Mrs. Vickery andMiss Newton. Miss Newton also ren-

dered valuable service in attending to

the literature department, which freelysupplied the outgoing seamen withbooks and magazines. The chaplainthanked the office-bearers and membeiso their splendid work during the year

YOUTH OF TO-DAY.

DISCUSSION BY MOTHERS,

At the conference of the League ofMothers held yesterday, a discussion on"The Youth of To-day" was held. Thesubject was opened by Mrs. T. Charter,who suggested the advisability of form-ing junior branches. One considered thatit might be better for each member towork individually in the home, keepher daughters longer at school, and en-deavour to control and guide them alongright lines.

It was pointed out by another mem-ber, Mrs. Utting, that there were manyactivities for girls to interest them-selves in, such as work for the girlguides, girl citizens and different clubsconnected with the various churches. Itwas further suggested that during theyear branches might have a "daughters'evening" at which some suitable subjectmight be discussed.

The conference commenced with aservice in St. David's PresbyterianChurch. The Rev. Bower-Black gave anaddress, his subject being an epitaph ona tombsfone in an English churchyard:"She hath done what she couldn't." Thewords, he said, conveyed a great deal.One imagined the woman achieving theimpossible, struggling on in the face ofapparently insuperable difficulties, withpeople saying she could never do it. Theepitaph showed that she had achievedher aim. Referring to the league, Mr.Bower Black said that it was settingout to do what many people consideredcould not be done, with the Divine aidits aims would be made possible.

Following the address, the meetingadjourned to the Sunday school hall.Mrs. S. O. English presided, and on theplatform with her were Mrs. F. W.Whytc, Mrs. E. R. Allen, and Mrs. G.Coats. After a brief speech of welcome,by Mrs. English, greetings from various;branches were conveyed by Mrs. WliyteJwho has just completed a trip in thenorth, where, she annpunced, a newbranch had been formed at Whangarei.

Votes of thanks were passed to theRev. Bovver Black, the managers of St.David's Church, the tea committee, andthose responsible for the flowers.

CRIPPLED CHILDREN.

SEVERE HANDICAP IN LIFE

LORD BLEDIST.OE'S COMMENT

Reference to Lord Nuffleld'a gift of£50,000 for the benefit of the crippledchildren of Now Zealand was made bythe Governor-General, Lord Bledisloe,when speaking at the children's farewellgal hering to him at the Domain yoet •»•

day afternoon."There are many, unfortunately, who,

ill spite of this healthy climate of yours,me, through no fault of their own, pros-trated by infantile paralysis, tuberculosisand oilier infantile diseases which haveseverely handicapped them for life," saidhis Excellency. "Even if the mental,moral, and spiritual welfare of youth.especially the formation of character, betlie main purpose of education, it isseverely hampered by physical weaknessor disablement. Moreover, educationallyand financially the weak arc apt to hinderthe progress and prosperity of the strong.

"Lord Niiffield's gift is avowedly andsignjficantly a thank offering for his owngood fortune in not being a cripplehimself. Should we not do all in ourpower to prevent, rather than cure,human disability? Should not those ofus who are endowed with the immeasur-able benefit of sound constitutions andgood health contribute, according to ourmeans, our thank offering, from time totime, for the benefit of those who arenot similarly endowed?"

The surest mode of prevention, saidLord Bledisloc, could be placed undertwo headings. One was the scientificcare of the mother and child at thetime of birth, founded upon Nature';*requirements, and the other was aftercare, healthy and wholesome surround-ings, and due sustenance.

10 THE AUCKLAND STAR, FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1935.

FINAL FAREWELL.POPULAR GOVERNOR.

CHILDREN'S FINE SEND-OFF.

EXPRESSION OF LOYALTY.

Unbridled enthusiasm was the key-note of the farewell given the Governor-General, Lord Bledisloe, and LadyBledisloe, by 10,000 children, represent-ing both the primary and secondarybranches of education, at the AucklandDomain yesterday afternoon. Genuineaffection was evident in the high pitchedcheering and frantic waving of handker-chiefs when their Excellencies arrived,and time and again during the pro-gramme the cheers broke out anew. Thegathering was also attended by a largenumber of adults, whose enthusiasm ranas freely as that of the youngsters.

It was an inspiring display of youth-ful loyalty to the flag and undisguisedaffection for the representative of abeloved King, likened by many to thatmemorable occasion when the youth ofAuckland took temporary command- ofthe Prince of Wales. There was no needfor officials to call for cheers, for theycame spontaneously, and might haveheld up the proceedings indefinitely ifsilence had not been called for. Adultspectators thrilled to the tireless wavingof a sea of white handkerchiefs and sawthousands of caps tossed high into theair. Their Excellencies were obviouslymuch impressed by the children's fare-well and would have spent longer in

driving up and down the cheering lanesif time had permitted. They delayedtheir leave-taking to say a number ofunofficial farewells, and when they didfinally depart they went slowly, as ifreluctant.

A statement that no previous occu-pant of Government House had beenfto well known to the young people ofNew Zealand as Lord Bledisloe was madeby the deputy-Mayor, Mr. A. J. Entri-can, in his address. There was not apupil in the primary schools who wasnot well acquainted with his Excel-lency's portrait and the gracious smileof Lady Bledisloe. "Our young folksbid you good-bye with regret. We shallnever forget your sojourn amongand our united prayer is that God'eprecious blessing may attend yourfuture years," he said.

Message for the King.Speaking on behalf of the central

committee of the patriotic societies•which was responsible for arranging thegathering, Mr. H. J. Wernham said thatthe assembly, representing nil classes,creeds and denominations, was born ofa great regard for their Excellencies.They honoured his Excellency for hisnoble example of citizenship and loyalty.Handing Lord Bledisloe scrolls carryingthe names of the schools and organisa-tions represented <it the gathering, heasked las Excellency to take to HisMajesty a message of their unfailingloyalty.

Pl-pfeseor A. P. W. Thomas expressedappreciation of their Excellencies' kind-ness in making a farewell direct to theyoung generation.- In the backgroundof their enthusiasm was genuine regretlit their Excellencies' departure.

Mr. T. U. Wells referred to the keeninterest his Excellency had taken inthe affairs of young and old in the

llftninion, ami to his gift of Waitangi.Lord Bledisloe's confidence in the futurehad put fresh hope into the people,

His Excellency Replies.In his reply, Lord Bledieloe said they

both thanked the gathering .most pro-foundly for their welcome, which theydeeply appreciated. The last messagethat the King had given him more thanlive years ago had been a message tothe school children of New Zealand, con-veying affectionate greetings and beg-ging them to remember that they be-longed to a great Empire, that

"

theywould some day be inheritore of thatEmpire, and to do all in their power tomake themselves worthy of that heri-tage. Referring to Mr. -Wells' requestthat an expression of loyalty should beconveyed to the King, his Excellencysaid he had anticipated Mr. Wells, andhad already written out a telegram,which he wanted the children's authorityto send. The message was: "Over10,000 children assembled in the Auck-land Domain this afternoon to wish usgood-bye desire me to convey affection-ate homage to Your Majesty.—Bledis-loe."

"Have I your authority to eend thatmessage?" his Excellency asked, and thequery brought prolonged cheers.

After referring to the Prince ofWales' appeal for the formation of aKing George's Jubilee Trust in order tomark His Majesty's jubilee by a move-ment, for the welfare of youth, LordBledisloe urged on the children the im-portance of being thorough in every-thing they did. "Whatever you do, doit with all your might. Look always onthe bright side of life. Be kind toothers. Love all that is beautiful andelevating, and shun all that ie dark andugly. Thoroughness is absolutely neces-sary to the full enjoyment of life, andcheerfulness is a duty that you owe toothere."

"A Land of Opportunity.""If ever there was a land of oppor-

tunity, that land is New Zealand," saidhis Excellency, in conclusion. Thechildren could not all become great, butthey could all seek to live noble live*.Lord Nuffield was a man of humbleorigin who had' grasped, his opportunityand to-day he employed no fewer than30,000 workers, and was looked up towith respect as one of the best employersin the British Empire. Lord Ruther-ford, the greatest scientist in theEmpire, was once a New Zealand school-boy. There were plenty of Kutherfordsanioiig them if they would make themost of their opportunities, and therewere their own more youthful heroes,such as Jean Batten, Hewitt and Kay,and McGregor and Walker. "All goodfortune to you, and may God's richestblessing rest upon yon all," he said.

Alfred Ernest Hay, motor dealer,aged 30, and Oscar Herbert Johnson,clerk, aged 44, were charged on sovoucounts with conspiring together todefraud the New Zealand GuaranteeCorporation, Limited, of sums totalling£944 4/0. William Kenneth Daniels,Btoreman, ngetf 20, • was charged withconspiring with Hay and Johnson todefraud the same company of £100 and£95; Norman Henry Fraser, insuranceassessor, aged 30, was charged with con-spiring with Hay and Johnson todefraud the company of £130 and £100;and John Edward O'Donnull, fruiterer,aged 31, wae charged with similar con-spiracv to defraud the company of £110and £05. Hay and Johnson wore al«ocharged with the other three on thejoint informations mentioned. Thedates of the alleged offences werebetween May, 1933, and April, 1934.

Detective-Sergeant A. G. McHugh pro-secuted. Mr. <Dyson appeared for Hay,Mr. Aekins for Daiiiek and O'Donnell,Mr. Dickson for Fraser and Mr. Learyfor Johnson.

Evidence concerning various transac-tions in financing the sales of motorcars was given by Basil Dlxon Buddie,accountant, whose firm was the Auck-land agent for New Zealand NationalGuarantee Corporation, Limited, ofWellington. Witness said that on therepresentations of Hay he had paid Haysums of £85, £150, £105, £145, £146 and£155 due on the sale of cars. Hay after-wards admitted to witness that thesewere "dummy" deals, and that he hadsigned some of the documents himself.

Johnson's Explanation.Detective McWhirter produced state-

ments made by Johnson, Hay and theother accused.

Johnson, in hie statement, said thatin April, 1933, he told Hay that creditorswere pressing the business for money.Hay said he would be able to pay themin a few weeks. On May 4 Hay saidlie would have to find sonic money, andtold Johnson to put through the hirepurchase of a car in the name of"Gibson." "I put my signature on thedocument knowing the agreement was a,dummy one," said Johnson. "I com-plained at the time- to Hay, and I triedto persuado him tigainst it. If I lostmy job I would have to go on reliefwork. I have a wife and three children.

Hay saitl ho was getting £1000 fromhis mother. 1 told him the time wascoming when he would need £1000 toequaro things up. While he was wait-ing for the money three more trans-actions were put through, On August24, 1934, I decided to leave, and I wenton relief work. 1 never got any moneyas a result of the transactions. Mysalary was £4 per week. My wageswere odßftsionally in arrears."

™ Hay's Downfall.In his statement Hay said he started

in business in Auckland when 2.3 yearsof age, without any business experience.He was in partnership with two othermen for two years and then found thatthe firm was in (kbt. In order to.carry on and get nioney one of thepartners, Hay alleged, arranged to sellhim a car which he had and to borrowmoney on the hire purchase agreement."At the time I thought this was quiteall right, as I understood that by hav-ing a hire purchase agreement it enabledus to borrow money on the hire pur-chase agreement." The amount bor-rowed was £450, and his liability wasguaranteed by a third party. One ofthe partners arranged for the guaranteeand- for the whole matter. The part-ner wont bankrupt and accused aaid hehad a liability of the car, odice furni-ture, machinery and plant totalling£000. This was later paid off and thecar was sold for £80.

"I struggled on Tor some time exceed-ingly hampered by lack of money," con-tinued Hay. "'ln 1932 I arranged withthe New Zealand Guarantee Corpora-tion to lend me money on a security forhire-purchase agreements over cars soldby mo in course of business, provided Iguaranteed each purchaser by makingmyself personally liable. When a cai

was sold I was to aseign the hire-pur-chase agreement to the corporation, andalso endorse all promissory notes secur-ing the various instalments. Thecorporation agreed to advance two-thirds of the purchase price on eachHale. This, unfortunately, proved mydownfall.

Many Sales Genuine."The corporation did not inspect the

cars at any time or call or interview anyof the parties concerned. I finally gotvery short of money and because of theease with which I obtained the loansfrom the finance company 1 finally re-sorted to the methods adopted byanother person. I resorted to the samepractice of repaying the previous loansout of the new one. I handled a largenumber of genuine car salee between1932 and the end of 1934, and put over100 through during that period with theGuarantee Corporation alone. Out ofthe total car sales I made when on myown, 95 per cent of the transactions weregenuine."

Finally, said Hay, he went to theGuarantee Corporation and made a cleanbreast of. the position.

According to a statement made toDetective McWhirter, O'Donnell said hefirst met Hay about 12 months ago whenhe approached him and said he wantedto raise money to buy some new modelcars. O'Donnell said he signed a hirepurchase agreement at Hay's request.Hay said there would be "a few bobin it." *> O'Donnell said he had not re-ceived a pephy piece as the result of thetransactions.

The One Tree Hill Borough Councillast evening decided to contribute 23per cent the cost, with a limit of £25,of the mortuary to be erected at One-liunga.

LOCAL BODIES.

OTAHUHU

The Otahuhu Borough Council met lastnight, the Mayor, Mr. H. T. Clements,presiding.

Hospital Board Assistance.—The councilhas been in communication with the Auck-land Hospital Board for some time regard-ing a nursing service for the district. Afurther communication from the boardstated that it had considered the require-ments of Otahuhu and was of the opinionthat the situation could most satisfactorilybo relieved by making arrangements withlocal chemists to supply doctors' prescrip-tions at prices to be agreed upon. Afterthe town clerk had explained the arrange-ments that had been made with the localdoctors, the council decided to accept theboard's suggestion.

Relief Wages.—A reply was receivedfrom the Unemployment Board to thecouncil's protest against the new scale ofrelief wages. Instated that the actualmonetary receipts of the men were betterunder the revised scale, and the increase,particularly in the case of married menwith the larger family responsibilities, wasfairly substantial. The certifying officerswere empowered, with the approval of the

; board, to reelassify men in a higher classJwhen special circumstances wnrrnnted it.It was reported that several relief workershad applied for reclnssification, and it wasdecided to wait for results before replyingto this letter.

Fire Prevention.—It was decided to hold"fire prevention week" during March 18to 23.

State Houses.—When discussing a resolu-tion from the Christchurch City Councilregarding the injustice of the State'srefusal to pay rates, the town clerk saidOtahuhu was losing at least £700 perannum. A large number of State houseshad gone back to the State, but theDepartment/would not admit the full num-ber, so the borough's loss was evengreater.

Mail Facilities.—Mr. F. W. Grey raisedthe question of the inadequacy of theoutward mail facilities and Rave severalinstances of undue delay, especially inconnection with the north and southexpresses. It was decided that the Mayorinterview the local postmaster.

Outstanding Rates.—On the recommen-dation of the finance committee it Wiisdecided to write off rates amounting to£528, water rates £177, quarry accounts£90 and sundry accounts £114, a totalof £920.

Bigger Post Office.—ln reply to a re-quest for more adequate accommodationat the Devonport Post Office the Post-master-General wrote that there were i

number of places in the Dominion m moreurgent need of improved facilities thanDevonport. Due consideration would begiven to Devonport's claims. The coun-cil decided to make further representa-

North Shore Hospital.—The AucklandHospital Board wrote that the questionof hospital facilities on the North Shorewould be considered when the time waeopportune. It was decided to ask theboard to give a more definite indicationof its policy.

Works Expenditure.—When the reportof the town clerk and treasurer, Mr. A.K. Wilson, on public works expendituretor the ten months ended January 31was presented Mr. E. Aldridge drewattention to the excess of expenditureover allocations. In one case £280 hadbeen allocated and £909 4/1 had beenspent. Mr. Aldridge also asked wherethe money granted by the UnemploymentBoard had been spent. He estimatedthat approximately £20,000 had been re-ceived in the year. His motion that acomplete statement be prepared of howmoneys from the Unemployment Boardhad been spent was lost.

CITY AFFAIRS.

DECISIONS OF COUNCIL.

AUCKLAND'S CAPITAL VALUE

The Auckland City Council met lastevening, the Mayor, Mr. G. W. Hutchison,presiding.

Fire Board Levy.—When a letter fromthe Auckland Metropolitan Fire Boardwas read stating that the Valuor-Genen:lhad advised that the capital vaiue of therateable property in the city area for thepurposes of the board's levy for thefinancial year 1935-36 was £48,810,204, theMayor said there was a danger of thecouncil being called upon to pay a dis-proportionate share of the amounts leviedby the board. The question was referredto the finance committee for a report.

Parnell Tennis. — The St. Stephen'sTennis Club requested the council toconstruct courts on a vacant section atCampbell's Point, near the end of Glad-stone Road, opposite Parnell Park, theclub undertaking to lease up to six courts.The request was referred to the parkscommittee.

Fire Prevention.—A request from, theMinister of Internal Affairs that thecouncil co-operate in "fire preventionweek" from March 18 to 23 was referredto the works committee.

Stormwater Drainage. — The DilworthTrust Board wrote asking the council totake steps to prevent a repetition of theflooding which took place in lower QueenStreet on February 15. In a report onthe question the city engineer suggestedthat owners of basements should takeprecautions to see that holes made forelectric cables, etc., were sealed, and thusprevent a recurrence of the trouble.

Balloon Advertising.—An application forpermission to advertise on a balloonattached to the top of a building wasrefused. The city engineer said it wouldbe injudicious to permit the inaugurationof such a form of advertising, for not onlywould the variegated appearance of suchballoons from numerous buildings be notin harmony, but there would also be atendency for the advertisements on awindy day to encroach beyond propertyboundaries.

Sunday Play.—The Women's ChristianTemperance Union wrote stating that at arecent meeting regret was unanimouslyexpressed at the action of the council inallowing children's playing apparatus inparks to be used on Sundays.—Received.

The win and placesystem of betting will again be inoperation, and an added attraction will bothe dividend indicator, which is being triedfor the first time in the Auckland provinceand has proved such a success in the south.Investors will be able to see at a glancehow much the various horses are payingfor a place or a win as the betting pro-ceeds, and this should be of great advan-tage to them.

The Trial Stakes.The Trial Stakes, an even-t for three-year-

olds and upwards that have not won a raceat the time of starting, has drawn a fieldof nineteen. Street Dancer finished secondto Swift Spear in the Hinuera Handicap,

six furlongs, at Matamata, while MasterMusk occupied a similar position over amile and a quarter at Rotorua last July.Whirling was second in the PutaruruStakes at Matamata. Racela showed somepace at Kotorua, while Nahlin was secondat the same fixture, but the latteris inclined to bleed. Of the othersWorthy King. Full of Scotch and Mossvalemay be the best. A trio that may befaiicied are

PARNELL'S LIONS SENT BACK,

CHAMPIONS REQUIRE 78 FOR FIVE

When Parnell, Auckland cricket cham-pions of 1932-3 and 1933-4 resume battingon No. 1 wicket at Eden Park to-morrow,they will be laced with the task of scor-ing another 78 runs for five wickets tohead oft" the 'Ararsity eleven. Last weekthe latter side, one of the keenest bowlingand fielding teams in the competition—

had good reason to feel pleased in (rettingrid of Whitelaw, Vivian, Hay, Wallaceand Stephenson for 86. There should liea keen struggle for top place on thecompetition ladder.

The third and fourth elevens on thechampionship table arc also engaged.Ponsonby has the useful total of 281 onthe board against Y.M.C.A.—one of thestrongest batting sides in Auckland—whohave had a run of disappointments lately.

Grafton meets Eden on the remainingsenior wicket at headquarters, and the1931-32 champions have been asked to runup 243 to win.

At Devonport King's Old Boys needanother 181 to top the North Shore tallyof 227. the maroons having lost twowickets for 44 last week.

ATHLETIC TITLES.

TESTING TIME.RIVALS FOR N.Z. HONOURS

CHAMPIONSHIPS AT WANGANUI

This afternoon and to-morrow theannual New Zealand amateur athleticchampionships will be held at Cook'sGardens, Wunganui. Perhaps never beforehas there been such even fields, and itwould be a bold man who could forecastthe new title-holders in many instances.

Most interest is always, centred uponthe classic 100 yards. Here the title-holder is J. B. Macfarlane, the Canterburysprinter, who not only lias won it thelast two years in succession, but by hissuccess at Melbourne has enhanced hischances of retaining it. Ted Humpson.Australia's greatest sprinter, had to record9 9-10s to just beafMacfarlane by inches.Chief opposition should come from Bain-bridge of Auckland, and Fitzsimmone ofWellington. The latter has always beena rival of Macfarlane's, and was runner-up last year. The Auckland man is aworthy opponent, though he may con-centrate on the longer sprints.

Walker, late of Auckland, is reported tobe, running 10s, and must stand a placechance. On paper Maefarlane should win

again. Quinn, of Gisbornc, has a chance.In the furlong Bainbridge will be really

dangerous with his 22s run of last weekto back him up. Stuart Black, of Tara-rtaki, is a fine 220 yards man and cannotbe overlooked. This race is very openand may be the title will change hands.

Quarter-Mile Rivals.The quarter-mile will be a tremendous

battle between three of the best 440 menwo have ever produced. Title-holderBroadway, of Canterbury, with his recordsof around 49 4-ss. may find that Black,of Taranaki, and Bainbridge are too fast.Black holds the Dominion record of48 4-ss, and has been in great form thisyear, defeating Rarnpling at Hawera.Bainbridge has done 49 2-ss, the fastestdone by anyone in competition this year,and must be given a real chance. All themen possess fighting ability. What a raceit should be.

A Fine Field.Even more thrilling should be the half-

mile. Broadway, the Christchurch holderof the title for the last three years, isalways capable of 1.56 or better. He is

a little stale, but can always run a greatrace. Edgar Forne, of Napier, is thelatest threat with his 1.05 2-5 win' off sydsagainst Powell. This is equal to 1.55 9-10,and is excellent time. Keen interest willbe centred upon the ex-champion C. E.Evans in his come-back. Reported to berunning 1.56 with ease, Evans, who wasoutstanding three years and more back,will be the "dark horse." Ogg and John-ston are capable of minor places, butAnderson, of Canterbury, who holds therecord of 1.54 4-5, along with Evans, willbe well up if he competes. He has beenBroadway's great rival in the past, andthe only New Zealander to defeat him.

The Distance Events.New Zealand's pet distance, the mile,

will see title-holder Lachie McLachlanon the mark to worthily defend it. Afterhis 4.18 1-5 effort at Melbourne, McLacli-lan's stock is well above par and he isexpected to win. But Aucklandcrs feelthat A. R. Wilson will prove his realworth and race McLachlan every inch ofthe way. Ho is the unknown quantity.Forne, of Napier, defeated Matthews in4.24 1-5, and with hie half-niiling timescannot be counted out. Cooper has anoutside chance, along with Mont Atton, ifthe race is run around 4.25. Matthews iswith them, but may spring a surprise, asho ran around 4.20 at Melbourne.

Auckland's real change should be inthe three-mile. Cooper, so long runner-up to Savidan, has at last his big chanceof a New Zealand title. Matthews willbe a strong contender, but his times arenot up to either Cooper's or the otherAucklander, Alton's. The naval man hasa great chance with his Wellington, Can-terbury and runner-up Otago titles behindhim and he lias defeated Matthews in14.42. Pullar, however, defeated him inDnnedin, and the Dominion cross-countrychampion may win the race, as he is thebest finisher of the competitors. Itshouldbe a fine race, indeed, and Savidan's 14.274-." maj' be even beaten.

Driecoll looks the winner in the walks,but Coleman. of Taranaki. with his recentwonderful figures, when he broke HarryKen's 1911 record, must be taken veryseriously. They should be great rivals.Cameron (Auckland) cannot make thetrip.

Tho Field Events.Phil Hnckett and Tim Crewe renew their

high-jumping duels with very even chanceson either side. Harold Brainsby is infor the long, nnd hop, step and jump. Heshould win the hop, step and jump easily.Galneron, of Otago, must be considered inboth, but more especially in the hop-stepevent. Crewe and Phillips, of Welling-ton, who have both leaped over 23ft,should fight out the long jump, withBriiinsbv very close up.

Stan Lay. for the first time in his life,will have javelin opposition. The chani-nion is throwing this year 198ft, but so isNewall, of Otago. Oilleepie. of Auck-land, has done 177ft lOin, and must bein the throwing, and so the contest shouldbe the most even for years.

On form Miss Fay Gndsell must be afavourite in the ladies' 100 yards. Runner-up the last two years, she has alreadydefeated the present holder Miss Callinanby three yards, and should find chiefopposition 'from Miss of Welling-ton, who is running fast. Mir. Thomas,of Auckland, ie capable of being wellplaced.

Peter Mnnro should collect shot anddiscus, with Steere a rival. Tn tho ham-mer, Snillnne. of Otago. who holds thetitle, should be well ahead.

Over the Sticks.Finlayson will be Auckland's great hope

in the' hurdles on recent performances.Benhani. of Taurauga, will have a strongchance in the 120 yards. Sharpley will bevery dangerous, and Bowie, of Wellington,is as good as any of them. In the 220yards Nelliiran and Sharpley are the chiefrivals for Finlayson. Anderson, of Can-terbury, should win the 440 yards hurdlesagain,

*

but Finlayson is very dangerousand may surprise. • ■ ;'

Every race should be close arid fast atthese championships. Auckland's team ofeleven will acquit themselves well.

OTAHUHU CLUB.

MIDGIEY SCORES TWICE.

FAST WALK BY CAMERON.Another successful evening meeting was

held by the Otahuhu Amateur AthleticClub at Sturgess Park last evening. Out-standinj? features were the exceptionallylarge number of spectators, and the high

standard of the various athletic and cycl-ing events. One of the outstanding per-formances was the great effort b> k.

Cameron in the half-mile walk, only 1-68outside standard time. Conceding jOs toA Greenwood, a local lad, Cameron easilygave the best exhibition seen on theground, though he failed to get the deci-sion by two yards. . . innEric Wordsworth won the junior 100yards championship in good style, andMargaret Mcars gained the 100 yardsladies' title. ,

,.

In the 220 yards senior ehampionslunG Midgley gained the honour, but hadto do his best every inch of the way togain a very close victory from JirniMcNeil, the speedy Richmond novel'splayer and a novice on the running track.Midgley had an easier task to pull off the440 yards senior title, his nearest opponentWhye putting in a splendid late run.

OLD BUT

WORTH JIF'FIRST DOSE RELIEVED THE PAIN ,

says Mr. E. Kelland of Exeter, who writes:-"For a long time I suffered severe pains

in my stomach: it seemed to be gettingworse until I dreaded eating anything.The pain got so bad I was afraid I had amalignant growth in my stomach. I wasadvised to try 'Bisurated' Magnesia—thevery first dose relieveo the pain and nowI can eat practically anything withoutany pain whatever. I am 74 years oldand life seems worth living again."

What appeared to Mr. Kelland to be aserious disease proved to beanother caseof Acidity! This condition is prevalentamong men and women of all ages and isresponsible for such ailments as indiges-tion, gastritis, stomachulcers, headaches,biliousness, insomnia, etc.—all symp-toms of acidity. It's marvellous how'Bisurated' Magnesia attacks and defeatsacidity—it's amazing how it gives suchquick and lasting relief—the reason isthat it instantly removes the cause.

There is no more effective antacidthan 'Bisurated, Magnesia—that is whydoctors and hospitals have used andrecommended it for over 20 years andstill consider it has no rival,

AUCKLAND CENTRE TOURNEY.

THE PAIRS CHAMPIONSHIP.

BUCKLEY AND MINGIXS IX FINAL.

After the main edition of the "Star"went to press yesterday two more roundsof the post-section play in the AucklandCentre's annual pairs tournament werecompleted,,and these reduced tlie original74 pairs to two, leaving only the finalto- be played. It wag intended to runthis off to-day, but to suit the businessengagements of some of the finalists thedeciding match was fixed for 2 o'clockto-morrow afternoon, on the Mount Edcagreen.

The eliminating round yesterday morn-ing had reduced to eight the twelve pairswho had qualified as section winnersduring the previous two days, and theseeight met immediately after lunch.

The Epsom-GreyLynn match was verykeenly contested throughout, and bothskips made full use of their welj-knownaccuracy in fast drives. They commencedthe hist head with Epsom holding theadvantage of two up at 21 to 19, andboth of the leads played some beautifulphots. However, Hosking managed tomove the jack for two, thereby lying thetie, but Mingins drew two beauties insidathe fliot bowl, and Hosking just missedrecovering with a well-timed run througha. difficult opening.

Bremner exhibited his usual perse-verance in his match against Sykes, andrecovered a deficit of six in the last threeheads, the tie requiring .in extra head.On the play-off Hardley and Harper werewell matched, but Bremner drew theabsolute for a win, and Sykes failed toremove it with his drive.

A noticeable feature in the Carlton-Fonsonby match was the great contestbetween the leads, Emirali and Somervell,but a slight advantage in the run of thehowls gave an ultimate win to the formerand Iris skip, F. M. Ritchie (the 1934victor in the pairs), who reproduced theaccurate play which gave him the pairsfinal on the Epsom green last year.

Howick had no chance in the matchagainst Grey Lynn, the latter soon estab-lishing a lead, and this steadily increasedto such a margin that the visitors retired.

The semi-finals were started after aehort interval for a cup of tea.

Bremner had exactly the opposite ex-perience to his preyious game, for this timeit was his opponents who did all thescoring in the last few heads. At thefourteenth head his deficit was only six,Mingins being 16 to 10, but by the nine-teenth the latter had put on eight morepoints, and the game was hopeless forWest End.

Ritchie had a bit of bad luck in hisgame, for he was lying two and ameasure on the twentieth head, with bothhands blocked, when he pushed in anopposing wood for -shot. However, it isdoubtful if he would have won in any case,for McMurchy and Buckley were playingan uncommonly good game, as shown bythe fact that they were 9 to 1 on thefifth head, and all that was open toRitchie on the last head was a dead head,but he missed his drive.

This leaves W. Foublster and J. H.Mingins (Epsom) to meet W. McMurchyand E. E. Buckley (Grey Lynn) onSaturday afternoon. Spectators will beglad to see Foubister in the limelight again,for he has been, out of town a good dealduring recent years. The other three havebeen in most of the big tournaments lately,and the two skips arc known as suchresourceful players, with a long list ofchampionships and other wins to theircredit, that an interesting final seemsassured, with plenty of driving at all thecongested heads.

The victorious pair in 1934 comprisedF. E. Robertson and F. M. Ritchie(Carlton), the runners-up being C- F.iiobertson and W. Denison (Balmoral).

NORTHCOTE REGATTA.

EVENTS ON MANUKATT.

HOBRAT-AUCKLAXD RACE OFF

(By SPKEDWELL.)

The regatta promoted each year by theresidents of Northcote and Birkenbeadwill he the chief attraction to-morrow. Allclasses except the largest keelers arc pro-vided lor and the record number of 130entries lias been received.

The events will start and finish off theHag-ship moored between the two wharves,the lir.st race starting at 2.3u p.m., othersfollowing at intervals u£ live. minutes.

On the Manukau both clubs are holdingi ladies' day. The contestants in the racestor yachts and motor boats in each clubwill be .steered by lady members, and, aswas the case last year, some good contestsare expected, the fair skippers of the Manu-kau being as good as their brothers.

On Sunday the Point Chevalier Club andthe Howick Club will hold their usualfixtures.

The Orakel and Manukau Model YachtClubs will hold races to-morrow and thePousouby and Birkenhead (seniors) thenext day.

The proposed race between Captain Ceo.Dibbern's Te Kapuuga and Mr. John Wray'sNgataki from ilobart to Auckland, • viathe Bluff and southern ports, is definitelyoff, no support offering for the proposalthat each port should provide a prize,and Te Kapuuga, from latest reports, isnow on her way to the Bluff. The sameinformant, Mr. Austin Vaile, says beexpects that the Ngataki will be on herway to Sydney, thence to Lord Howe andNorfolk Islands and home. It is just pos-sible that Te Kapunga will be back in timeto compete in the race to Coromandel atEaster, as she did last year.

460 MILE RACE.MELBOURNE TO HOBART.

TE RAPUNGA V. NGATAKI

Details of the race between Captain Dih-hern's Te Rapunga and Mr. John Wray sNgataki are to hand from a communica-tion received by -Mr. Norris, who was oneof the winning crew on Te Rapunga in therace from Auckland to Melbourne lastDecember.

The race started from St. Kilda, Mel-bourne, on Tuesday. January 22, at fi.-'iOp.m. and finished soon after 1 a.m. on Mon-day morning, January 28, Te Rapunga s timelor the 400-mile course being !> days hhours and 43 minutes. Ngataki finishedthree days later.

Te Rapunga's crew consisted of CaptainDibbern and his mate, Mr. Guntcr Schramm,and Messrs. A. E. Vaile and J. X. Tatters-field and Mrs. Roelir, who acted as cook andstewardess, and enjoyed the experience.

From a diary kept by Mr. Tatterstield itappears that the race actually started fromthe bar of the St. Kilda Yacht Club, about100 yards from the end of the pier, wherethe starting gun was fired and tlie timeactually taken. Each boat had been pre-pared to start and no time was lost in get-ting aboard. At the last minute GunrerSchramm was missing, and this allowed theNgataki boys to get away in the lead.The wind was very light going down to tlieheads, but later freshened into a full sailbreeze from the BOU'-west, with a fairly bigsea. Te Rapunga caught and passed Nga-taki half way to the I'ort l'hilllp Heads,which they cleared at .11 a.m. on Wednes-day, January 2a. A course eou'-west wasset across Bass Strait for Tasmania, pass-ing west oC the Flinders Group.

Out in the straits the wind went to thewest and freshened, necessitating the nuz-zen being stowed. At daylight on Friday,January 20, the Swan Island lighthouse waspicked up. As the yawl neared the Tas-nianian coast tlie wind increased, but acourse was set close in to the land. Near-ing the Eddystone the westerly breezefreshened again, tlie jib and mainsail beinglowered. The yacht made good progressunder staysail and mizzen only, the small-est amount of sail carried since Te Hapungaleft Auckland.

The Eddystone lighthouse was rounded at11.15 a.m. on Friday and good time wasmade down the east coast of Tasmania.The wind now went towards tlie northand eased up sufficiently to allow the reefedmainsail to be set. Later, the wind easedup, so that full mainsail and a square sailwere set for a time, but eventually itfreshened again and the reef taken In themainsail. Tlie sea increased, but the yachtwas taken on through the Scliouten pas-sage inside Maria island, where the waterwas smooth.

Cape Rnoul, at the northern end of StormBay, at the head of which Ilobart is situ-ated, was rounded early on Sunday morn-ing and then began the long slog to wind-ward and Ilobart against a fresh south-westbreeze. This part of the trip was the worstin the race, but the sea was easieras tlie yacht neared the land, and goodtime was made under Bruny Island onSunday evening. Tub finishing line off (he('astray Esplanade was crossed at lh 18m10s a.m. on Monday, January 28. Xgatakihad a bad time and was oi days later infinishing.

The yacht and her crew were welcomedby tlie commodore, Mr. G. H. Evans, andthe secretary, Mr. J. Boyes, of the RoyalYacht Club of Tasmania, who were in atten-dance at the starting tower on the Esplan-ade to record the finishing time, the linebeing Indicated by a inotot ear's headlightsand a powerful torch which also helped todirect the yachts crew to a berth at thePrince, wharf. Here the yacht club'sofficials and Mr. Hilton Voile, a brotherof Mr. A. E. Vaile, welcomed the crew toTasmania.

Later advice- states that after competingat two local regattas Ngataki was expectedto lenvo on her return to Auckland by wayof the Bluff, and all the principal portsbetween there and Auckland.MANUKAU CRUISING CLUB.

LADIES' HOCKEY.

AUCKLAND ASSOCIATION.

N.Z.'TEAM FOR AUSTRALIA.

A fairly representative meeting of theAuckland Ladies' Hockey Association tookplace at the Y.W.C.A. Besides some

I executive members, delegates from Kere-; peehi, Northern Wairoa and Wuipa were' algo in attendance. Most of the evening! was spent discussing and making decisions' in connection with the New Zealand team

for Australia.! It was decided to ask the New Zea-

land Ladies' Hockey Association to deferholding of representative trial matches in

i Auckland for some weeks, the firet Satur-day in May being considered not a suit-able date, it being the likely first day ofthe 1035 season.

I The New Zealand governing body is toI be informed that the association could not

guarantee to provide by July the whole• of the amount required by it from the

1 association for financing the New Zealandteam to Australia, but efforts would be

I made to assist during, the season.Miss P. H. DawßO'n'e name is to be

submitted to the New Zealand Associa-tion as nominee for manager of the NewZealand team to visit Australia.

I It was decided to ask the Dominionassociation to invite a Fiji team to NewZealand during the 1935 season,

i Practice grounds will be available onApril 13 and 20, and there was a possi-bility that championship games could becommenced (if it was desired by those atthe annual meeting) on April 27, thoughit is to be recommended that Saturday,May 4, be the opening date of the season.

At the conclusion of tHo meeting MissesBurton (treasurer) and A. Twinainc(secretary) stated it was not their inten-tion to seek rcappointment at the annualgeneral meeting on April 11. '

LAWN TENNIS.

CARO CUP MATCH DECIDED.

EDEN AND EPSOM CHAMPIONS

(By HALF-VOLLEY.)

Last Saturday's first grade inter-clubfinal between Eden and Epsom andRemuera, at Stanley Street, resulted inan unexpectedly sweeping victory forEden ami Epeom by nine matches to jthree, with one unfinished. Most critics jexpected Eden and Epsom to win thisyear, but it was generally expected thatthe match would be much more closelycontested. Kemuera v ere, of course, very

unfortunate to lose E. L. Bartleet fromthe top of their team—-the loss of oneplayer from tlie first or second place,with the consequent promotion of all theothers, can weaken a team very seriously;but from the result it looks as if _ hisinclusion could not have prevented Edenand Epsom from scoring their win. Jt isthree seasons since the Ca) o MemorialCup was held by Eden and Epsom, and ina year where the play of juniors has beena feature of the season it is fitting thatEden and Epsom's team included twoyoung players who were making theirfirst appearance in first grade A tennis.

Sturt's Dogged Play.N. G. Sturt and M. T. Wilson, playing

first for their respective dubs, were ex-pected to produce some fine tennis, andthis match drevj all the gallery for thefirst part of the afternoon. The matchwas fully up to expectations, and waspacked full of thrills from start to finish.Wilson started confidently, and finding agood length right from the beginning, hadSturt in difficulties in the first set. Inthis set Wilson was doing all the attack-ing, and following up good length driveshe was scoring frequent winners off well-placed volleys. After winning the first setWilson kept up the same tactics until theturning point of the match was reachedat 5—2. Here Sturt—perhaps in sheerdesperation—brought off a series of par-ticularly tine passing shots, some of hisbackhand cross-courts being brilliant.Sturt managed to catch up to five allwithout match point being recorded, butin the succeeding 'vantage games Wilsonhad five or eix match pointe beforeSturt pulled the set out at 10—8. In thethird set Sturt's confidence increased, andWilson's fell away, and better length atlast gave the Kemuera man an excellentwin, in which his fighting qualities hadplayed no inconsiderable part. It wasa battle of length from start to finish,and Sturt's ability to keep a better lengthin the end of the second set and through-out the third gave him a win in thesecond set and the opportunity to volleyhis way to a win in the third.

Gunn and Brown.The appetites of spectators for brilliant

tennis were now fully excited, and allkioked forward to a display of crisp hit-ting between the other two Wilding Shieldrepresentatives, the juniors A. D. Brownand J. L. Gunn. But those who expectedthis match to produce any decent tenniswere sorely disappointed. Gunn playedthe better of the two, and deserved hiswin on the day, but the standard of playwas shocking, and there were many com-ments on the listless and apathetic de-meanour of the two players. Jt shouldhardly be necessary in a three-set matchfor two junior players to stroll heavily andwearily from end to end of the courtwhen changing over, stopping at everyopportunity to eat orange and wipe then-faces with a towel. One looks for keen-ness and alertness in a younger player,but many players twice the age of Gunnand Brown could give them many pointsin this direction.

Wilson Defeats Partridge.Playing with commendable restraint in

critical phases of the match, J. S. Wilsonscored a good win over C. Partridge,whom he had previously defeated in theAuckland championships. Wilson's lob-bing and retrieving were a feature of thismatch, in which, after losing the secondset, he wore Partridge down in the third.J. T. Mayson played persistently and in-telligently against the hard-hitting Butler,and scored a creditable win in straightsets.

In the ladies' singles Miss Macfarlanedefeated Miss J. E. Ramsay in a drivingmatch in which the Eden and Epsom ladyscored some pretty placements by heavilycut shots on a dampish court. Miss B.Griffiths and Miss V. Eceles had an inter-esting match on the adjoining court. MissGriffiths began confidently, and it lookedas if her steadiness was going to worryMiss Eceles, but the Eden and Epsom ladywas a little too good all round. MissGriffiths showed a weakness in dealingwith a short shot on to her forehand, andhit a lot of these into the net.

Doubles All Go to Eden and Epsom.The mixed doubles were the fust doubles

matches played. In the first M. M. Morri-son and Miss A. Bulges Watson played upwell to run A. K. Turner and Miss B.Knight to 7—5 in the third set. Startingmore reliably than the Eden and Epsompair Morrison and his partner won thelirst set 6—2, and it took Turner and MissKnight all their time to recover theirposition. Miss Bulges Watson played aremarkably steady game, and her positionalplay was admirable from a defensive pointof view. If she would develop a rathercrisper cross-court drive, and vary it alittle with shots down the sideline, shewould be a. really first-class mixed doublesplayer. Morrison was rather more venture-some at the net than is his usual custom,and his interceptions were severe andsometimes brilliant.

On an adjoining court A. C. Johns andMrs. Shroff, playing with their usual goodunderstanding, had little difficulty in de-feating Griffiths and Miss Colson. Goodcombination, aided by a timely intercep-tion by Johns from time to time, wasresponsible for this win.

The women's doubles both went to Edenand Epsom, Miss Knight and Mrs. Shroffbeing too good for Misses Macfarlane andColson, though the Remuera pair led allthrough the first set, and Miss Eceles andMiss Ramsay also being too steady forMisses Griffiths and Bulges Watson in areliability contest.

Bright Play in Men's DoublesThe men's doubles produced some spec-

tacular matches, notably the first matchin which the holders of the _ Aucklandchampionship, Morrison and Sturt, weredefeated by the Wilson brothers in ahard three-set contest. The excellentlobbing of the brothers was the chieffeature of the match, in which the Edenand Epsom pair won at 7—5 in the thirdset. On the next court Turner and Johnsplayed an unfinished match againstGriffiths and Gunn: the Beniuera pair hadthe best of this, winning the first set at6—4. The match stopped at 8-all in thesecond set in the half-dark. Gunn was thebest of the four players, showing muchmore alertness than in his singles, theother three displaying patchy form. Thethird Eden and Epsom pair. Brown andMayson, scored a comfortable win overPartridge and Butler, though they lost thesecond set.

Altogether an interesting afternoon stennis with some really exciting moments.There is no doubt that the A grade finalis quite one of the most enjoyable of theseason's functions in Auckland tennis.Could it not be made more so, if the cupwere presented ou the spot at the end ofthe afternoon, and a little more officialprominence given to the day's play?

The second doubles between J. Stevensand 11. Oreen (Johns. Ltd.) and It. Barrettand C. Harrison (Savings Bank) was avery exciting struggle. The bank startedvery confidently and took the lead, 4—l.However. Johns won the next three games,making it 4 all. The games alternateduntil Johns, when leading at 7—6. brokethrough Barrett's service to win the firstSPf f g—o. The second set was similar tothe first, nnd once again the brilliancyof J. Stevens enabled Johns to win atrj -

With one match each. N. Ford and J.Stevens (Johns, Ltd.) faced Allen andBarrett (Savings Bank) for the decidingmatch. Although the Savings Bank foughthard, superior piny by the experiencedJohns pair enabled them to win the firstSP f_ o—3.

Friends Amazed at Change"I have been ratlier adverse to any

When I last saw him he wasI 5 ?t. 8 lbs. I thought he had been ill, huthe tells me that lie never Telt better in hislife. I asked him how he. lost his Tat,because we used to call him 'Tubby.'

F.'E.Overweight arises frequently because the

The six salts in Kruschen assist theinternal organs to throw off each day thewastage and poisons that encumber thesystem. Then, little by' little, that uglyrat goes—slowly, yes—but surely.

Kruschen does not aim to reduce byrushing rood through the body; its actionis not confined to a single part or thesystem. It has a tonic Influence upon everyoVgan or elimination, every gland, everynerve, every vein.

SYDNEY DISSENSION.

TROUBLE IN THE COUNCIL

PARTIES AT LOGGERHEADS.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

SYDNEY, February 8,The delicately poised "balance of

power" in the City Council—the LabourAldermen and Independents having adubious bare majority over the Re-formers—has already caused trouble,and will very likely lead to much morein the near future. Last week a crisisvery nearly arose over a question, whichnot only aroused bitter personal feelingbut served to illustrate the- difficulty ofgetting any sort of resolution throughthe council as at present constituted.

The proposal before the- council wasin favour of completing the widening ofPark Street. As every body, who liasbeen in Sydney will remember, ParkStreet, between Castlereagh Street andPitt Street, is contracted to very sni|lldimensions, and the scheme is to widenout the street to the breadth that ithas already attained east and west ofthese limits. From George Street to1-itt Street, and from Castlereagh Streetto Elizabeth Street, Park Street is aline broad highway, quite equal to thetransport' requirements of this part ofthe city.. But the intervening portionof the street is little more than_ a'•bottle-neck," which constantly im-pedes the city traffic and presents acontinuous menace to motorists anlpedestrians alike. Of course, it liasalways been intended that the road-way should be- widened to a uniformbreadth throughout.

Five years ago financial arrangementswere made to resume the required land,and the tenants received three years'notice. At the end of that period—asthe depression, was upon us and thefinancial outlook was gloomy—the noticewas extended for a further two years,and this period has now Itmight have been expected that, especiallyafter this long delay, the city councilwould be anxious to take advantage ofthe first signs of commercial andfinancial recovery to complete thisimportant scheme. But for reasons notapparent to the ordinary man, theLabour aldermen have never favouredthis proposal, and last week theiropposi-tion to it caused a bitter altercation inthe council.

Business Men's Deputation.A few weeks ago a deputation, of

business men and property ownerswaited on' the Lord Mayor and presentedto him a petition urging the completionof this work signed by. a large numberof/lessees and tenants in this locality.Mr. J. 0. Watson, who was once PrimeMinister of Australia, and is now presi-dent of thte N.R.M.A., .made a strongappeal in support of the scheme, whichhis association regards as of "vitalimportance" to the commercial expan-sion of Sydney, and, though the LordMayor naturally declined to commithimself, he assured the deputation thathe would give very careful considerationto their request. Accordingly, last weeka resolution was moved in the councilby Alderman " Stonewall" Jackson torescind a resolution passed on February18 giving a further 12 months' extensionof tenure from that date" to the ParkStreet lessees. But no public bodylikes to talk about rescinding motions,and Alderman Nock moved as an amend-ment that the council should at onceproceed tp sell the land residues and thelicenses of the two hotels concerned, and"in six months' time should proceedwith the immediate reconstruction ofthe street whether the residues wereeold or not."

In favour .of going on with this plan,it was pointed out that the resumptionswhich had been made necessary fromthe outset were costing the city over£360,000 a year, and the scheme could

not produce the desired results till itwas completed along the whole length ofthe street. Also, the council had beenadvised that the hotel properties mustin any case be renovated at considerableexpense or the police would refuse torenew the licenses. The resumptionbeing, already financed, it would cost lessthan £8000 to straighten out the"bottle-neck," and so Alderman Jacksonand his friends made out a good case fortheir proposal.

Labour Aldermen Oppose.But the Labour aldermen, as before,

strenuously opposed the scheme, appar-ently because they think that the muni-cipal funds could be spent to better pur-pose in other directions; and AldermanJackson, who never ■welcomes criticismor opposition, made an extremely vehe-ment reply. He denounced the pro-longed delay over this scheme as "apublic indecency," and he wanted toknow what was the mysterious influencebehind, the . obstinate determination ofthe Labour aldermen that "Park Streetshall not be widened." Said AldermanJackson: . "There are associations withthese hotels in Park Street that do notmake very good reading. If I hadauthority I would institute an inquiryinto the unseen forces that are delayingthe widening of Park Street." This verydeliberate insinuation naturally rousedthe Labour aldermen to wrath. I

Alderman O'Dea was on his feet in amoment, demanding that the inquirysuggested by Alderman Jackson shouldbe set up at once. Alderman DonaldGrant, who in his palmy days hasnssured many a Domain andience that'"the Day of Blood ia drawing near,"challenged Alderman Jackson to putdown his charges in writing. "You area mongrel and a cur," he shouted, asthe suave Lord Mayor appealed in hisblandest tones to the council for dignityand self-control. It was not a creditablescene, and, like many other episodes of asimilar nature, it was largely AldermanJackson's fault.

But the result of the division mightprove an important matter to theReformers, and as the debate drew to aclose they cast anxious eyes along thetable, and computed the possibilities.One Labour member, Alderman Farrell,was absent, but his defection was morethan balanced by the absence of Alder-man Hagon ami Sir Samuel Walder onthe'other side.

Toward the close of . the discussionAlderman Jackson, perhaps feeling thatlie had gone too far, rose to explainthat he had not meant to charge theLabour aldermen with taking moneyfor their votes. But this belatedapology produced little effect, and beforethe division was reached it had becomeevident that Alderman MeElhone meantto vote with.the Labour contingent.

Alderman McElhone is one of the twoIndependents on the council—the otherlicing Lord Mayor Parker—and with thehelp of his vote the Labour aldermencould just equal the voting strength ofthe Reformers. On the other hand, if

11lie voting resulted in a "tic" the LordI Mayor might, use his casting vote oneI way or the other. He has no reasonto be well disposed to the Reformers,who opposed him for the Mayoralty andexpelled him from their organisationbecause he accepted the support ofLabour.. But if lie gave a casting votein favour of the Labour section of thecouncil, it would mean identifying him-self with the Labour party to an ex-tent that he might find very embarras-sing later on.

Eleventh. Hour Appearance.With matters in this precarious posi-

tion the amendment favoured by theReformers was put, and the town clerkwas actually counting the votes whenthe door of the chamber opened andSir Sam Walder appeared. The Re-formers made no attempt to concealtheir joy. "Hurry up! Take yourseat!" they shouted in chorus, and theex-Lord Mayor was quickly shepherdedinto line. Even then the motion forproceeding- at once with the enlarge-ment of Park Street was carried by only9 votes to 8, and though the Reformersand the Lord Mayor were thus releasedfrom an unpleasant predicament, the ill-feeling engendered at this meeting didnot evaporate with its close and mr//produce serious consequences beforelong.

I One indication of the confirmed hos-tility of the Labour aldermen to theReformers was given at a Labour cau-cus last week, when it was resolvedthat "in no circumstances" would theLabour men grant "pairs" to Reformaldermen likely to be absent from thecouncil for a considerable time. Thereference was to Alderman >Tock, whois visiting America shortly, and to SirS. Waldei, who had arranged a trip toEngland. It was said at the time thatthe Reformers would not be affected bythis decision, because on general ques-tions of public finance they could besure of the support of the two Indepen-dents, Alderman McElhone and the LordMayor.

Member Postpones Trip.But Sir Sam"VValder, who has had

long experience of municipal warfare,evidently ie apprehensive about thefuture, for he has now announced thathe will put off his own trip till Alder-man Nock gets back from the UnitedStates, So Lady Walder and her daugh-ter are leaving shortly for Englandwhile Sir Sam remains "on guard, ' tillhe is relieved by Alderman Nock. It isa quaintly "militarist" arrangement,and it suggests aptly enough the stateof "armed peace"' which exists on theCity Council just now.

PROSPECTING AREA.

AFPUCATIOUT BROUGHT,

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)WAIHI, this day.

An application, which was the firstof its kind, was heard in the Warden'sCourt, this morning when Edward ,C.Dally applied for the warden's contentto enter upon certain land for the pur-pose of marking out a prospecting area.The application was opposed by thelessee.

Mr. H. L. Boughton, for the applicant,said the application was made undersection 93 of the Mining Act, 1920. Anapplication would be made later for aprospecting license.

The warden, Mr. F. H. Levien, S.M.,said" that in Ins opinion the proper pro-cedure was to put in an application fora prospecting area side by side with anapplication for consent. The ground-work for granting consent was notbefore the Court.

Mr. Boughton submitted. that, with-out the warden's consent, there was noright of entry. He asked the wardento deal with the application undersection 310 of the Land Act.

After further argument the wardensaid he must hold that, unless a properapplication for a mining privilege camebefore the Court; such application forconsent could:riot, be entertained.

OVER THE AERIAL.

RADIO NOTES.FROM FAR AND NEAR.

(By TUNE-IN.)

Transmissions from IZM have beenaffected for city listeners recentlyeither by radiation from superheterodynereceivers tuned to IZB, or by hetero-dynes from Australian B stations.

Boy scout listeners and adults in-terested in the great youth movementwill be pleased to know that this even-ing at 10 o'clock the Chief Scout, LordBaden-Powell, who is at present visitingthe Dominion, will speak from 3YA.This talk will be simultaneously broad-cast from all the board's main stations.

A talk that should prove interestingis scheduled for Monday night nextfrom IYA. The speaker is to be Mrs.B. I\ Richards, a woman with a dis-tinguished literary career) and the titleof her talk is "Literary Trends—

Criminality in Fiction." She is adaughter of the late Mr. Maurice Hew-lett, the famous author, and for someyears worked in England with .herfather.

A new Auckland station, IYZ, wason. the air last Saturday morning—butonly for a comparatively few minutes.A few listeners who happened to benear the wave-length of IYX must havereceived a surprise when they heard anannouncer calling, "This is station IYZtesting." This was the call signspecially allotted by the Post and Tele-graph Department to the short-wavetransmitter, which is used to relay andbroadcast sports fixtures where theordinary means are not available. Withthis short-wave transmitter set up on alaunch last Saturday, the New Zealandrowing championships were broadcast.About 11.30 a.m. a test was carried outfrom the launch to make sure that theequipment, was in good order for theafternoon's broadcast through IYA. Asa test, speech was broadcast by theshort-wave transmitter, picked up onthe shore and relayed to IYX andreceived on board the launch through areceiver next door to" the transmitter.The quality of last Saturday afternoon'sbroadcasts of the rowing events wasexcellent.

All listeners who have heard LionelloCecil, the famous Australian tenor, singduring the week from 2YA and 3YA, willdoubtless agree that he is one of themost accomplished overseas artkts yetengaged by the Broadcasting Board. Hisoperatic arias and ballad numbers sunghave been a delight. Lionello Cecilspent many years in Italy and in otherparts of and for over five yearstook part in all the big operas at thefamous La Scala Theatre. Milan. Beforecoming to the Dominion he fulfilled along engagement in opera with other bigAustralian artists from the A.B.C.national stations. His first broadcastfrom IYA is on Sunday, March 17, whenlie will render an operatic programme,including such famous tenor arias as"La Donna e Mobile," "E Lucevan," andanother from Gounod's "Faust." Onthe following Tuesday he will singagain, his numbers including "I HearYou Singing," "Snowy Breasted Pearl,"and "Love, Here Is My Heart." On eachoccasion he will be accompanied liy thefull studio orchestra.

The well-known Sydney station 2UWrecently started to operate on a "round-the-clock" schedule. This B stationstarts its 24-hour programme at sun-rise and concludes the next morning atthe eame time, thus creating a freshworld's record for length of operatingtime. There are several Americanstations that operate all night, while inMelbourne 3AK is on the air from 11p.m. to 5 a.m./' but as these stationshave no daytime schedule they do notcome anywhere near 2UW's record. From3 to 5 a.m. daily 2UVV devotes its pro-gramme to rebroadcasts of overseastransmissions and news Hems, inter-spersed with a musical programme.From 5 to 0 a.m. a countrymen's break-fast session is provided, giving them thenews of the day before they start work-ing, while from 0 to 7 a.m. is the earlymorning listeners' breakfast session.The station directors are already receiv-ing hundreds of congratulatory messagesupon their enterprise.

Broadcast arrangements are underway already in connection with theKing's Silver Jubilee next May. A weekof special programmes will be trans-mitted to the Empire by the Empireshort-wave station. His Majesty theKing will speak by this means to theEmpire. There will be running commen-taries on Royal reviews of the Forces;the Dominion Premiers will speak; thechief events, of the King's reign will bereviewed in their turn by competentannouncers. There will be a relay fromSt. Paul'e Cathedral of the nationalthanksgiving service. Incidentally thereare numerous changes and improvementsabout to take place in the technical sideof the Empire transmitter. Every effortis being made to improve this serviceand to give all parts of the Empire achance to hear clearly.

POULTRY-KEEPING.

AUTUMN FEEDING HINTS.

PREPARING WINTER LAYERS

(By ORPINGTON.)

It may seem to the beginner a littleearly in the season to advise poultrykeepers about feeding their birds forwinter eggs, but a/ter the hatching dateand management during early rearing,the feeding of the birds from nowonwards is most important where winterprofits are concerned.

To gain the best results, pullets foreither laying, or showing must be keptgrowing steadily during the whole sismonths before production. The very hot,dry summer has been inclined to retardgrowth but encourage early maturity,and many egg producers are going to befaced with a large proportion of pulletslaying small eggs, unless they have amplegreen food and shade for their birds.Once undersized birds have started tolay they will rarely produce standard-sized eggs, even after a moult.

Milk feeding can be a tremendous helpto the poultry farmer in a summer suchas this, but must, be used in conjunctionwith a bulky, non-forcing ration. Pulletsfed a good proportion of curd requireonly bran and pollard to supplement it,With or without an alternative grainfeed of mixed wheat, oats or barley.When birds are near laying maize canbe included in the grain and a littleaiuizc meal in the mash, otherwise pale?ggs will result, since pullets do not

usually get enough tender young grass,even on free range, to keep the yolks agood colour unless just about the timethe autumn growth comes away. Butmuch maize fed in conjunction withcurd is very forcing for young pulletsand is almost bound to have them layingbefore they are full sized unless the par-ticular strain is a very slow maturingone. Pullets kept intensively or semi-intensively are much more apt to laytoo early than those on free range orin "folding" units moved to fresh grasseach day.

Laying Rations NowJn keeping pullets, that are not lay-

ing yet, on a bulky diet, however, itmust be remembered that the older birdsneed different treatment. Early hatchedpullets in lay or on the point of pro-duction must have a well-balancedration for egg production. Also the bestamong the old hens will go on layingat this time of year however they arefed (within reason), but unless theyare given egg-making materials, whichthey cannot get for themselves in drypaddocks or dusty pens, it will be atthe expense of their own bodies. Thismeans that, when their moult comesalong, they will probably take it verybadly and hardly be fit for breeding bynext spring.

The old layers then must have a soundlaying mash as for winter laying, andfan even l>e forced with maize and curdfeeding to keep up egg production ifthey are going to be sold off to makeroom for the pullets.

Pullets already in lay should nowhtive at least 10 per cent protein in theirmash to give them every chance to con-tinue body growth and to allow them togo on producing eggs without too greata strain on the system. Otherwise theywill be quite unfit to stand up to autumnand winter laying and will prove unsatis-factory producers.

It nlwavs seems unfortunate to see thenumber of novices who write for adviceabout June, asking why their pulletsare not yet in lay, although they havelooked like it for some time. By thetime they can change their feeding,according to advice, to a sound layingmash, the profitable egg season is alreadypast and the bird-3 in question would pos-sibly be in lay anyway, following thegeneral early spring seasonal increase inproduction. Although it is on thespring-hatched pullets that we must relyfor autnin eggs, even first-class over-year hens do continue to lay to a remark-able extent through autumn and intowinter in the mildest parts of New Zea-land, provided their diet is adequate.

BANTAMS FROM SCOTLAND.

Included in the cargo of the Tamaroa,which arrived from London on March 1,was a Sealyhain terrier, bound for Wel-lington, and some Game bantams forAuckland. The Game bantams havecomo out from Scotland to the order ofR. J. Hay, Takapuna, a member of theAuckland Game Fowl Club. They com-prise a trio of Silver Duekwing and aPile hen. The birds had stood up verywell to their long journey.

CUKE FOR BUMBLE FOOT.

A Sandringham inquirer hae six WhiteLeghorns, three of which have some foottrouble on one or both feet. The padof the foot and the web between thetoes are badly swollen. He asks whatis the cause <ind cure? Is it infectiousand would it have any deleterious effecton the quality of egge laid?

The birds are suffering from bumble-foot, caused by dirt collecting on thepad, which by constant pressure producesa corn. These corns often grow to aconsiderable size, and if untreated mayfester, causing severe swelling end in-flammation. The corn must be entirelyremoved with the fingers or a bluntknife, prising up each side until it isfree, and all the pus must be squeezedout. The foot should then be bathedin lysol solution, and iodine should bepoured in, after which the foot shouldbe bound up to keep out the dirt.Remove the bandage after three or fourdays for examination, and If pus hasreformed it will be necessary to treatagain. One treatment, however, usuallysuffices. You need not feel compunc-tion in inflicting the little pain necessaryto perform this operation, for theremoval of the corn actually affords thebird immense relief. In mild oeses,where the corn has not festered and itsremoval doee not causo bleeding, it ienot necessary to bathe or bandage thefoot.

Bumble-foot is not infectious and can-not possibly have the slightest effect onthe quality of the eggs laid. The painwhich the bird undergoes, however, com-bined with the difficulty of walking, mayeasily be Aiifllcient to put her off the lay.The trouble would never occur if it werepossible to examine and clean the feetof the birds, say, every week or tendays._ Sometimes hard lumps of dirtarc embedded in the web between the?toes and cause it to 6tretch to s\ich anextent that when they are removed bypressure from the back they leuvepockets of loose skin.

SELBYBY THE AUTHOR OF "STRANGE ABSENCE."

CHAPTER X.Enter John Rand.

In amazement, Cicely stared at JohnHand, then slowly her anger gave placeto curiosity. "So this," she thought, "isthe man Mho is going to defend me, theman into whose care Mr. Pry lias placedmy life."

It was a terrible thought; one whosemeaning was too immense by far tograsp all at once, and it was ratherdazedly that she watched him close thedoor, then cross to the table and lay hishat and brief case upon- it.

The advocate's appearance surprisedher not a little. She hardly knew whatshe expected, but certainly not what ehesaw. His height and even the greatbreadth of shoulder she might have beenprepared for, his reputation even sug-gesting it, but the unruly thatch ofobstinate red hair, which tended illmoments of emotion to stand erect uponhis head, and the ice-blue eyes beneathcame almost as a shock to her, so thatshe stared helplessly and rather rudelyat him. Rand coolly returned her gaze,staring with equal frankness and an ex-pression almost of challenge in his eyes.His lower lip stuck out and the dark redbrows lowered; it was almost as if hewere shouting: "Well, come on, out withit. Did you kill Sebastian Mendez?"

Cicely moved nervously beneath hisgaze and felt her anger rise again. Likethe others, lie believed her guilty; hewas going to get her off, but it wouldbe a tour de force, just another proof ofthose powers, the ruthlessness which hadnearly reduced that poor woman to hys-terics. Her heart sank.

But suddenly a smile spread along theman's lips and up to his eyes, which losttheir ice-like quality and shone withfriendliness. Extending a great hand, hesaid heartily:

"As Pry has lost his tongue, I'll intro-duce myself."

The solicitor coughed apologetically.He, with McCrae, had been a silent andinterested witness of the scene. It wastypical, he thought, that John Bandshould announce himself so unconven-tionally. To be unexpected, he hadheard, "was one of the great man's mostdisconcerting characteristics; one de-

; veloped no doubt with a, view to keepingone guessing, and possibly of extractingthe unexpected in others.

"0—er —of course," he began, but waswaved peremptorily to silence.

"Too late. Mies Selby and I havemet."

Cicely's slim hand seemed to disappearcompletely when he grasped and for amoment held it in his. The action wasmeant to bo reassuring, but the grin oftho long fingers was like a vice, andinvoluntarily the girl winced. Yet fromthe outset it was not the man's physicalstrength which impressed the three intowhose presence he had entered sodramatically, but a force of personality,a current of mental energy which wasstupendous. A man, thought McCrae, tolike immensely or else to hate; indiffer-ence to him would be impossible. Eitherone would follow him wholeheartedly orelse resist him with all one's strength.Even the wardress standing like animage beyond the glass partition lookedless wooden since Band had come in, lieobserved rather amusedly. But he wouldnot be wanted now, he supposed. Perhapshe had better go.

Turning to Cicely, he said good-bye.With her hand in his, he whisperedearnestly:

"I say, old girl, I'm with you; reallyI am."

Conscious that Kand was watching her,sho merely returned the pressuro of hishand and smiled.

"Good-bye, Colin. It was nice of youto come."

Feeling himself dismissed, the youngmmi closed the door, and with a doubtwithin him of which he was heartilyashamed, ho walked away along thegloomy corridor.

Sir John Band watched Cicely fromthose keen pale eyes of his. Her case hadinterested him from the start, and whenthe brief had come to him marked £1000,be had accepted it. But from all that hehad heard of her he had expected a verydifferent typo—someone bolder, largerperhaps and certainly more assured.

Pry had told her something of herlife, at least as much as the solicitorknew of it, which Rand was beginningto surmise was very little. The factwas that Mr. Pry had been much shockedto learn that Cicely knew Mendez, andthat she had been to his flat. It impliedevery sort, of moral looseness to his old-fashioned way of thinking, that a girlof Cicely Selby's birth and standingshould enter the flat of such a man.apparently unescorted, too. The factwas that, without ever having met him.Pry knew a great deal more aboutSebastian Mendez than Cicely had everdone. Her feeling* about the man hadbeen purely intuitive, whereas thesolicitor had knowledge which rather un-fairly he suspected her of sharing.

But Samuel Pry had a down on theyounger generation, who were, he in-sisted, mostly devoid of moral sense. Inhis opinion they were capable of anything, not excepting murder.

"Sir John." Cicely leaned across thotable towards her advocate. "Do youreally think me guilty of—of—V

"Guilty?" Band jerked roughly. "Noone that I defend is guilty."

The girl did not reply, but with aheavy heart thought:

"He does thing me guilty, but heVgoing to try to prove the contrary."She sat very still, waiting.

Rand leaned his arms on the tableand allowed his eyes to bore into her.Beneath their gaze she felt as if showere being stripped, as if her least andmost remote thought must be read b>those sharp eyes. But, although vagueivuncomfortable, she did not care. Shohad nothing to hide.

Sir John began to question her abouther life, her habits, her associates.

Whilst listening, he watched herclosely, observed every inflection of hervoice, every fleeting change of expres-sion. He allowed her to tell her storvthrough to the end with scarcely aninterruption. Occasionally, indeed, itseemed as if he was not listening,and her voice, sometimes strong and unhesitating, at others nervously stammer-ing, went on falling into the silence.of°the room.

She spoke of their motherless youth,of the death of their father when sh«was seventeen, of her independent lifein the flat, of her aunt and friends . . .

if so they could be called. Jill, she men-tioned, of course, but lightly, dismissingher as a mere child, living still in thecountry.

Whilst Rand listened he also watched.The first thing he asked himself whenmeeting , a client for the first time wa»how that person was. likely to behaveunder cross-examination and how thevwould be likely to impress a jury.

A POWERFUL STORY OF A WOMAN UNJUSTLY ACCUSED.

ByALLYNSLOAN

Her looks were distinctly in herfavour, ho thought, for her beauty warnot at all of the fluffy or artificial type.Her figure was excellent, with handswhich, although shapely, did not lookuseless as so many women's did; norWere her nails lacquered a ghastly shadeof red. Her nose, with its constellationsof freckles on the bridge, he foundattractive in the extreme, and his prac-tised eye appreciated the absolute sim-plicity of her well-cut dress.

These things he tabulated mentallyas assets, but against them on the debitside he placed a certain restiveness, due,perhaps, to nervousness, in her mannerof speaking and in replying to questions,which he feared would not serve herover well in the witness box.

Suddenly he stopped her remarks toask:

"Lois Evans? Who is she?""Tho girl who first introduced me to

Don Sebastian.""Oh! Tell me about her." Rand bent

forward."She is an artist and rather a friend

of mine."Mr. Try removed his glasses and wiped

them."Ibbelievee—er—that your aunt, Lady

Penge, does not approve of this younglady?"

"No, but that's nothing. She dis-approves of everything I do," said Cicely,who had been deeply hurt that her aunthad not even given her a word ofencouragement.

When Cicely had finished her storythere was a silence. Rand got up andstrode to and fro, whilst Pry drummedhis fingers on the table. Abruptly thebarrister stopped by her chair andasked:

"This Mendez—what was he like?""Horrible. I loathed him," the girl

returned vehemently.Pry coughed, but Rand in a stentorian

voice, roared:"My dear young lady, if you say

things like that in Court, the AngelGabriel won't be able to help you."

Cicely gasped."But it's true," she declared firmly.

"He was horrible. There was some-thing—" She broke off with a shudder.

"That may be," Rand told herroughly. "But you must not say it likethat."

"But I thought—." Helplessly Cicelystopped. What she had said was onlythe truth. Why should she not tell it?Arrested by the- puzzled frown betweentho girl's eyes, Rand sat down againand more gently explained:

"You see, any dislike of Mendez onyour part supplies an excellent motivefor your having killed him."

"Oh!" She was silent; then in alow voice said: "One doesn't necessarilykill the people one dislikes."

Something in the way she spoketouched Rand and quietly he told her:

"Xo, but you see we have to be verycareful not to prejudice the jury. Upto tho present, there does not seem tobo any motive for your having killedthe man. Intense dislike, however,would supply one. D'you sec?"

"Oh. Yes, I see." Cicely snt verystill. This talk of juries reminded herhideously of the ordeal to come. Randsaw her shudder. Her hands movednervously in her lap and her head wasslightly bent. From where he sat hocould sco (he white nock and tho littlepoint where the fair hair stopped. Bysome trick of memory ho heard thewords: "Hang by the nock until she isdead" ringing in his cars, as if theywore being at that moment pronounced,and quickly ho looked away.

"Tell mo," ho hurried on. "You Baythat you saw Mendez twice?"

Cicely nodded.I "]sii(. —c>r—"' Rand glanced at somenotes on the table before him. "Whatabout your visit to the theatre withhim ?"

"Theatre?" Cicely gasped. "T neverwent to the theatre with Don Sebas-tian."

"Sure?""Certain.,, Her-clear eyes returned his

gaze levelly."Tell inc—" Rand placed one large

foot on a chair and loaning on his knee,watched her. "Have you been to 'Musicin the Air'?"

"Of course. Several times.""On September first, by any chance?""I-—I don't remember. It—-it was

somewhere about that time, but 1 don'tthink on the first." She added suddenly:"But I 'Wasn't with Don Sebastian."

"Who Mere you with?" Rand per-sisted.

"I—l don't know. At least, I mean—"she floundered.-It was rather difficult toexplain. "You see, I was going witha man tailed Karberg. He was justsailing for South America and asked meto go on the night before he sailed."

"Well?" Rand prompted."Well, at the last moment, we—we

joined a party of friends of his whowore sitting along our row."

"You mean you sat with them?""Yes.""And who sat next to you?""Jim Karberg on one #:de and—l

don't know who the—the other side,"she ended lamely. Suddenly she felt

very tired of all this questioning.sort of person had interrogated her, butnone of it seemed to lead to anywhere.It was aa if tlu-y were talking abouttwo totally different things and shecould sec no connection at all.

"But weren't you introduced?" Randpressed. I

"Y—yes, but I don't remember the jname."

"Oh, surely. Come!"The eyes she lifted to Eand's were '

strained and rather blank. Try as shemight, she could not remember. Every-thing about that night was blank. She Icould just sec a picture of herself sittingin the stalls between Jim Karberg—anda—yes, a dark, fat man. Dark—fat! Hereyes widened. He had had greying,

hair, too. .. . One hand swept her eyes

with a nervous jerk, but immediatelyshe pulled herself up. . Xo, it had notbeen Mendez—of that she was certain;although everything seemed incrediblydim and far away. She shook her headslowly.

"N,—no, I can't remember. It's all so—so muddled."

Although some people would havedoubted it, Rand knew when to stop.There was much that he wanted toknow, but with a disappointed sigh, hostood up again.

"You're tired. To-morrow perhapsyou'll remember."

"I don't know," sho said vaguely."Please try. It's most important."'

The words were so urgently spoken thatCicely was startled. Suddenly sheasked:

"Who said that I was with Don Sebas-tian?"

Mr. Pry it was who answered. Givinga dry cough, he said:

"Er—your aunt, Lady Penge.""Aunt Cora?" Her aunt—good

heavens!"Er—yes. Inspector Garstin took

down a statement from her in whichshe said that the last time she saw you—er —set eyes on you were the words,I think—was at His Majesty's Theatreon September 1, when you were seated'next to Don Sebastian. Lady Pengestated that she saw you from the boxwhere she was sitting, and pointed youout to Lord Whatmore. She was—er—very much upset indeed."

"But it's not true," cried Cicely. "Idon't know who tbe man beside mewas, but ho was certainly not DonSebastian. My aunt has no right—"She broke off, staring angrily at thesolicitor; then, turning to Sir John, shewent on, trying to control the agitatedtrembling of her voice. "Sir John it'snot true. Xone of it's true. They sayI was at the Pomme d'Or; well, Iwasn't. Xor was I at Don Sebastian'sthat night. I was in bed. I had a head-ache and went to bed." She caught herbreath and swallowed.

Rand watched her keenly, stickingout his lower lip, as he pondered.

"Look," he said suddenly. "Does any-one know you had a headache?"

"Yes; I do," she said wearily."But did you not tell anyone at the

time?"Cicely ransacked her memory again,

although she had been over it all sooften. Suddenly a light broke over herface.

"Yes, I told Lukie."Sir John caught her quickly: "Who

is Lukie ?"

"Luke Marley. Captain Marley. Idrove him home. He asked me to go outwith him that night, but I refused, be-cause I had a headache."

"Ah!" Kand rubbed his hands to-gether. It was not much, but alwayssomething. The first point, so far,which could be proved. He wrote downMarley's address.� Pry rose and gathered his papers, fortime was up. The wardress was signal-ling. Turning to her counsel, Cicelyheld out her hand.

"Good-bye, Sir John." Her eyes smiledfor a moment into his. Then with apathetic earnestness, she asked: "Pleasebelieve I didn't do it."

Rand's eyes held hers; then quietly,but very firmly, he answered:

"I know you did not.""You really mean it?" The girl's face

twitched."Yes.""Tlinnk you."As sho accompanied the wardress back

to her cell. Cicely blinked down a fewgrateful tears.

Curiously Mr. Pry watched the othertake up his hat, then, unable to resistit, lie asked:

"Did you mean that. Sir John?"'•Certainly. She's as innocent as I

am."Rand moved to the door. Before

passing through, however, he paused."The devil of it, though, will be to

prove it!"(To be continued daily).
