"The Secret.Corps.". Captain Ferdinand Tuohv, (he authorof *".rfc* Secret -Corns: n Tale of 'Intelli-gence' on all Fronts" (John .Murray,-perWhitcombe and Tombs), has served an anofficer of the British Intelligence Depnrt-.nient. in Russia. Poland, Austria, Italy,as well as'in Belgium and France, in theUnited Kingdom, and in Palestine andMe.so'p.-itamia. The story that he tells in-cludes many interesting, indeed quite fan-cinatinjr, pages. In no previous Euro-pean war did espionag,: play so wide-spread and important a part as'in the,four venrs' contest for. supremacy bertween* the Contral Powers and the Kn-tentt. Allies.

Honest busi-ness men went down to the .i.ea to. meetthe boats in the nipjit. and sinuousbangled Bashdadiß were primed by theBritish to report on BUBpects in the cityof the Caliphß ...
There are many excellent anecdotes in .Captain Tnohy'a book, a perusal ofwhich' leaves the reader much enlighten-ed as to the extraordinary ramificationsof, and, on the whole, the. astonishingsuccess achieved by the British. Intelli-gence Department. The author claims
•that so far from being asleep when thewar broke out, the British Secret Ser-vice Department had in existence 6iich awidespread and detailed system -in GreatBritain, that within a. very few weeksaffer the outbreak of hostilities the au- -thorities had gained a complete mastery |of ttarmari espionage- in England. Cap-tain Tuohy gives detailed accounts of thedoings of such notorious spies ns Muller,
•who was shot in tho Tuvrfer ot' London in,1315 and the beautiful Jlata-Hari (Alar : .,
»uev:ii>---Kelle- Kas tier-real .name), thodaughter'of a Dutch father and 1a Jap-an:ise mother. I' A curious figure in the world of espion-:age was the "iool-sp.w" The/"fool-sp,v ).was u man or woman, either a convicted
■spy or. more rarely a." simpleton, whowas deliberately engaged by an Intelli-gence Department in order that he oi'she might get caught by the enemy. The- jidea .of the "fool-spy" is to deceive the.'enemy's contre-espionage organisation andkeep -it from descending on tho realsides, the valuable ones. "Fool-spios |were principally employed by the French, jCaptain Tuohy gives ah interesting do-,Bcription of the special and peculiar de-vices used l>y the Allies, more particu-larly the British, to elicit informationns to the ■ intentions and movements oi
• the Germans' Oriental. allies. His bookis most readable throughout, • Just attruth.'is proverbially stranger than fie- it,ion, many of Captain Tiioliy's stories,
based upon actual happenings, leave theimaginative work of novelists such ns LeQueux and Philip Oppenheim hopeless-ly behind. (N.Z. price,( lfls. Gd.)"A Soul's Progress." ~ • ''
. Piofessor P W. Jobertson, of VictoriaCollege, must be credited' with havingproduced in his book' "A Soul's Pro-gress-. Mezzotints in. Pro«e" (EdwardArnold, per Whiteombe aiid Tombs) oneof the .best of the few works of purelyimaginative literature we have had asyet from New Ze.iland authors. Ho'de-scribes his book as consisting of 'fiveseparate studies representing fivo'differ- '■ent periods in'the history of a soul, thesoul of a young scientist who endeavours"to seek a refuge from the too rigid in>tellcctualism of'his. science in the lyric-ism of art.'" In-the first study, "A Maidof the renaissance," there is n distinctsuggestion of. Walter Pater's literarymethods, if not his historical and ntCs-tbetic points of view..'• In the second,"Duilips of Daa'zig," the author sym-bolises his .student's investigation into* Hinorigin and naturp of beauty; andenlarges upon the early Pagan idea, thePlatonic conception of- beauty. Hissearch, however, for iniHi being stillunsuccessful, lie turns to the F>ast, andin "A Burmese.Monk" describes a thirdspiritual excursion, in'the, course ofwhich he makes close acquaintance withtho fascinating but shadowy doctrinesof ihe Buddhists. Tn'the fourth study,entitled "Lysippor the Osirian," we aretransported to ancient Egypt, the stu-dent describing his discovery of the truthas to the nature of art," and its de-pendence-of life'l, of which it is actu-ally the expression. The final stage ofa soul's development, its triumph, isthe subject of the last study, "Tho Aledi-tflKons of the Emperor Ming Huang,"and weare left with thestwcheir's convic-tion,-as the result of all the?.; theoretical !speculations, that "lovo transcended artas an expression df the wonder of life, 1and gave a still deeper insight into its 'mystery. Carefully tending such a 'pre- 'oious.flower, he would face the unknown !with joy in his heart For he had not !lost sight of the fact that the unpacked- (flowers on tho tree of life would yield, in. JtliH richness of time, emblazoned. fruit 'to those who were (o come." There is 1a curious combination in these later- jstudies of the nurelv aesthetic with therm-nticism of the East, a combination .yh.ieli* expressed it is true in very dif- ]teionf terms, is to be found in theworks of Feilding Hall and nlhnr writers; ;Th" author, however, has his own and jquite original way of working out hisspeculations, and in one respect—theverbal beauty- and (mite fascinating Jcharm of his literary style—he has notb- !ing lo fear by comparison with earlierwork of a somowliaf similar character. :There are passages in this book whichdisplay all tba' fastidiously loving re-gard fpr slvle which we connote with thename of .Walter Pate.

SOME RECENT FICTION
/'Double'' Life." .''
' Those of my renders who Temem'beithat lively story, 'Jft. Grant Richards'*
>'Cavin'ro,"« and its successor, the nlmoulequally popular "Rittersweet," will, turnWith very ploasuruble' anticipation to the.opening'-chapter'of the publisher-author'slatest novel, "DoubleLife" (Grant Rich.■ords, I>er Vi'hitcombe and Tombs). Mr.Richards seems to have a partiality forthe gambling instinct as a fictional motif.In "Caviare" h6 gave lis ,sonie highlyentertaining, and not uninstruetivo pic-tures of life-at Monte Carlo, and someequally diverting scenes in the financialwhirlpool of : Wall Street. In "DoubltLife" he provides some of the liveliestand most fascinating pictures of Englishracing—and descriptions of turf 'specula-tion—which wo linva had since the Roodold days-'of/Whyto Melville and HawlejSmart. He is not, as wero thoso twofiivourfTe writers of the Victorian period,eo "miifth concerned with the'racehorse,his' training, \nnd the way he ii ridden—
'although even hero ho can be quite as-tonishingly 'technical—as with those, whoregard the "noble quadruped," as Pieref,Eganand the sporting novolists of thepast used to call the liorss—as a moansto making ■ mpnej'7-or losing it. Also, helias had the original idea, which, 60 faias I .can Teniember, never oocniTed tothe late, and by a big public of hisown, .the, much-lamented ; Mr. Nat .Gould,of makings the "punter" who is the lead-ing figure ' in hKs story, a lady, Mrs.Olivia Pemberton, the wifo of a middle-aged and somewhat stodgy novelist, of theClinyjes • (Inrvice type, is tired of lieihumurnm life. Visiting Newmarket in com-nanv or"hor husband, who is in search otlocal colour, for his next story, she be-comes'fa'scinated by the idea that shomay make money by backing horses, herspecial objective lieing a motor-car. Soonslie is not only backing torses for smallamounts, but actually purchasing apromising colt, which she confides tothe care of a very gentlemanly trainer,who, luckily for the- lady, is ai honest,as he is agreeably mannered. Theheroine is amazingly yell favoured byfortune and is soon betting in hundredsinstead of modest "fivers," transactingher gambling biisines? through a'firm ofturf accountants, hoing horo againspecially fortunate in with hon-est people. Mr. Richards is singularlysuccessful in makihg us accent as quitecrediblo tho devices by which the bidyconceals her turf includingher ownership of a. raceliorse, from herunsuspecting hubby. Once or twice shnk perilously near detection, but the iconever breaks, and so the story proceedsuntil we leave tho heroine, 'in tho.lastchapter, breaking the newn to the stodgybut.amiable Mr. Pemberton that she has•inrrowly escaped owning .a Derby win-ner, and that «he is retiring from thoSold of racing speculation with the niceround sum of i:!fl,OflO on tho right sideof the ledger. .There is an interpolatedand subsidiary episode, at Monte Carlo,where the Pembertons indulge in separateand ioint "flutters," but. for tho. mostprj't. "Double Life" is as strictlyconcerned with, the so-called "Sjpnrtof Kings" and with the feverish de-
lights and- occasional wop? of; the ■"I'mpi-niV ;W even H>c lute Afr. Gould i*r>r:lfl have desired. It is an a-tonisliing-J1 ly clever and vastly amusing story. Mr.;-,
..Richards .has a crisp, effective style, and ..
I he has evidently ' gone to considerable I'
pains to master the technicalities of theracing and butting world. It is lo Iwhoped that his amount, of Mrs. Pember-ton's wonderful good-luck, a good luctin her case, backed by no small naturalshrewdness and plenty of pluck at tho-right moment, may not induce n host ofmarried ladies to imngino that tho.y cmigo and do likewise. Now that a new mli-
i'i of Mr. George Moore.'f, "EsthwWaters," in which quite another side oftho betting craze is exposed, has recentlybeen published, it. would not be a hailidea if the moralists wore to ine/st upona perusal of "Double Life" being follow-er! by .1 study of Mr. Mooio's famousstory. Where Mr. Richards is speciallysuccessful is in his clever analyses of theheroine's alternating emotions of elationand depression, as she score* KucrSssive
. misses or bits at the target of fortune.In "Double Life," Mr. Richards hasgiven the., world one of tho best racing
! novels ever written.; "Sweethearts Unmet."
Bcrta Ruck (Mrs. Oliver Onions! at-'. ways introduces us to some exceptionally■ ploasant people in the' stories which, ap.
patently, flow from her pen so easily,. and which appear at mic.li aatonisbingiy
short intervals. In her latest stoTy,"Sweethearts Unmet" ' (Fodder unaStoughton, per Whitcombe and Tombs),sho takes two lonely young Londoners, of
[ opposite sexes—that goes without, saying1 —and shows how a kindly fete brings
. them together, and after sporting withthem a.little, with that, touch of mali-cious humour Dame Fortune to fre-nn-ntlvd'-oplavß, play; the good angel, andduly leaves thorn very Happily mated.
' The story-is told in alternating extractsfrom diaries kept by the two chief char-acters, the author winding up the oleas-aiit littlo comedy with some sensible remarks on tho duty of everybody to bringthe' "right" young people ' together.Plenty of sentiment, and much whole- 'some humour, together with some genial 'philosophy, can be found and enjoyed in
' "Sweethearts Unmet." <"The.Rod Seal." ■ I
"Tho Bed Seal," by Katharine New- 'lin Burt iHoughton, Mifflin, Co,, N.Y.,
■ per Whitcombe and Tombs), is a very .good specinion of ultra-soiuwtionnl lie-tion, in : which the supernatural isstrongly suggested, only, to resolve it- sself, into . ingeniously-concocted welo- fdrama. There is a haunted houso in a jlonely part of the pine belt of North 1Carolina, an .unliable widow with a- sec- tret, and a red-haired governcss-eompan- tion. who meets with jomo perfectly hair- iraising experiences. Also, there is a Iclever young detective, who, although ho (falls in love.with the governess, suspects ;her, for a time, of being a quite, diaboli- jcat criminal. ■/ Tho villain of tho piece iis an older, arid very wicked red-haired |lady, who bobs up mysteriously- in the. ]dead of, nightv iroin hidden passages and |cupboards, and, who, in the lonsr'run, •
. turns out to be the governess-heroine's >mother, who is in- search of n hidden .store of immensely valuable jewels stolen 'from an' ancient Eussinn shrine. Inthe last'chapter'the mystery is cleared ;up, the wicked mother takes poison, andthe red-haired daughter's character is (cleared. ■ Villainy, in fact, is vanquish-ed, and virtue is triumphant. For lov-ers of, sensation, a Tery readable story.
"The Call of the Offshore Wind."Mr. Ilalph Pake, the author of '"The '
Call of the Offshore Wind" (Constable'and Co., per Australasian PublishingCompany and Whitcombe and Tombs), •has made-a'special study of the hardy :seafatiug folk who live on the coast of
'Maine. Mostly, in tho past, he haswritten short stories, but no now gives 'us a full-length novel descriptivo of the ]exciting adventures which. befall y<*;iig 'Dudley Fenwiclc, tho 6on of an old sail-ing-ship builder aud owner at SpringHaven. . Tho old man has a great con-tempt for steam, but steam is too muchfor Him, and, his busiue-s declines to the 'verge of bankruptcy. After the old ;man's - death, young Dudley takes a ''•berth as- first' mate, - and manages to ■
keep the business afloat. He is havinga hard struggle when the war comes and.creates a sudden and, insistent demandfor sailing craft. The young fellow hasto encounter rascality, both in his own
■ family and outside, but he has all thepluck nnd determination of that typicalold hard-shell Down-Easter, his father,nnd he not only revives and re-estab-lishes the old' Fenwick shipbuildingyards on sound nnd profit ab'.e lines, butis successful also in a venture of per-gonal and purely sentiuioutal interest.There are some line sen picturos in thestory, and the rough schooner skippersand mates—reminiscent not ft little ofthose we met in "Captain Courageous"—arc skilfully and effectively drawn.Quite a good yarn in its own class.

The chairman of directors of the com-pany. Mr. F. 6. Dalziell. solicitor, said thecompany wa 3 formed In 1902 to work anarea of bush at Mokai. about 50 mllei ton,I'utaruru. At that time It was thoushtthat there were 500.000.CX30 feet of timberin the aroa. but there turned out to bo
250 million feet, and there were at presentabout 100 million feet left.

Mr. E. W. Holmes, formerly Chief En-gineer. Publio Works Department, saidthat in 19:2 it had been estimated thatthe mm of £41.400 would be needed tohave tho line brought up to Governmentstandard. At present, tho cost wouldprobably bo double that estimate. Tocontinue the nronent traffic it would notbe necessary to brine tho line un to Gov-ernment standard. A railway from Taupo
to Rotorua, would in part serve the coun-try the company's railway would servo,the part beine betweon Hotorua and wal-rakei. and portions of tho land on thoAtorimuri Road. The present timberlands must be served sooner or later, liehad seen aood farm land in the WaikaioValley. near the company's line, but hadseen no evidence of results. At presentpasseneera were not allowed on the lino.To obtain the Public Works Departmentsconsent for nassenirtfr traffic the clearancowould have to be over 8 feet, ub no in-spector would pass a line in which a pas-lentrer "oould have hi» head knocked offowine to lack of clearance." Personallyhe would decline to certify unless thebanks were 10ft. wide, and the cuttings2ft. 6in. wider than the carriaira used. Bodid not think the Government csuld workIhe line on the present scale on accountof the eradw. It wpuld bo impossible tovary tho oliitnment much. Aj tor aB thetravelling public were concerned Hotoruawas the.district objective. n"d that waswhy the formation of a line from Rotoruato Tauno would bo popular awl ; revenue-nroducinr concern. • • • Tauranea wouldeventually become the seaport to serve thedistrict, it beine quite easy to contlnuotho line thrriuah to that port. He believedthat there would not be much chance ofhavine a lino from Rotorua- Waiotapu toTaupo completed for some years, and esti-mated the cost at..about £600.000. Thelino from Mokau to Tauno could'be madVsafe for nasienccr traffic at •;■ cost ofabout £15$ a, mile. At the nresent day.ho considered, a line from Rotorua to Tau-ranea woujd cost £1.500.000.
The commission adjourned after furtherevidence bv Mr. Dalziell until October 26.
The commission will be unrated on theinauirv until November 23. .

ENTERTAINMENTSKING'S THEATRE.
Tho star attraction at tho King's'The-ntve this week is a thrilling drama, en-titled "Cheating Cheaters," featuringClara Kimball Young, a favourite whonever fails to draw. The new drama istomowhat on tho lines of "De Luxe
.Annie," and- tho 6tory, briefly, is thata Rang of crooks, assuming the name ofBrockton, take up their quarters nearNew York, lluth Brockton (Clara Kim-
• ball Young) is the moving spirit of. thorang, who'e object it is to steal the valu.
.able jewellery of their neighbours, thePalmers. Ruth meets Tom Palmer, theson of the house, and there is mutual.fascination, resulting in Ruth being in-
., vited to stay with the Palmerß untilthe return of her parents, who have
been called away by a fake telegram.'Ruth has not been in the Palmer homolong before she discovers that tho Palm-er diamonds are worthless paste imita-tions, and, further, that the Palmersthemselves are crooks bent on robbingthe supposedly wealthy Brochtons. Bothsides, on learning tho truth, 'decide tomerge their forces. Ruth then bringsoff. another surprise, which is indeed asurprise. The drama isjn every re-spect excellent. The story is good, thecostuming, scenery, and all .the detailsthat make un n, fine moving picture araexcellent. The supporting pictures inelude two Rolin comedies, an Educa-tional Review, and. tho latest Gazette.'An additional attraction is the music ofthe grand orchestra; which jilays selec-tions from "The Fortune Teller" Vic-tor .Herbert) as an 'cntr'act. There willbe a -matinee this Afternoon.
'■■-'• "THE END OP THE ROAD."Those who believe in the modern idea
of opening the eyes of young folk, to amore intimate knowledge of the mys-teries oflifo as a protection .againstthose dangers likely to beset the ignor-ant of both sexes will welcome thostraightforward. lesson taught by the nlc-ture I'The End of the Road," which is
' being exhibited for ladies only at. theEmpress'Theatre, and for men only atEverybody's Theatre. The social changowhich has come over the world duringthe .last decade, resulting in a growingmoral looseness, probably calls for dras-tic counteracting measures, and one "ofthese is certainly "The End—of theRoad." How that. lesson is receivedand applied is a matter for tho indivi-dual conscience. Suffice that tho pic-ture is a' danger signal, vivid andthought-compelling, and, if accepted assuch, must have' a purifying inflnence,even if it is at the expense of thatiii-nocence which our grandparents cherish-ed as an inestimable virtue. The storyby.which the lossori is conveyed is thatof two girls, Mary 'Lee (whose mind hasbeen enlightened in a very delicate andbeautiful manner) 'and Vera Wapiior(whose natural questionings havo beenrebuffed ,by a mother, who considers the'child naughty for asking such questions).Mary, armed against tho dangers that
beset young girls, goes through life afree," happy, helpful being nntsi she fin-ally finds' her true helpmato in an Armydoctor. On the other hand, Vera, pre-disnosed to moral looseness' and ignor-ant of its diro results, finds that the"easiest way" conducts her to the depthsof misery and desnair. Becoming thomistress of a wealthy young Teprobate,she becomes infected with a loathfomedisease, and in her -pathetic wretched-ness sho discloses her condition, to h.erold playmate Mary. who asks the ad-rice of Dr. Bell, who diagnoses her af-,fliction correctly, and orders drastictreatment. The poor. girl • revolts athaving to undergo this course, but onbeing shown the awful results of thedisease—a section of the picturo whichmight be'cut down a little—consents, andis finally cured. There are incidentalscenes introduced which serve to forcehome the dreadful results of veneral di-sease—the sins of the father reflected inthe physical ineptitude of the children—which lesson it is imnossiblo to misap-ply. Viewing "The End of tho Road"in' this light, the effect of its. mission' isnecessarilv restricted by the age limita-tion' which tho management havei volun-tarily set on those desirous of seeing thepicture. The programme also includessome extremely beautiful post-naturestudies, and a Gfaumont Gazette. 'TheEnd of the Boad"-: will be. on atthe Empress. and "Everybody's Theatrescontinuously throughout tho currentweek.

■ ... "TILLY OP BLOOMSBURY.""Tilly of Bloomsbury," the' latest bier
•T. C. Williamson comedy success, willbe staged at the Grand Onera House,'commencing on Tuesday. According toAustralian critics, the new comedy canbe summarised briefly as a play of well-drawn .clear-cut type, only in' a coupleof instances overdrawn, and then onlyfor farcical purposes. The joyous note-is struck in the first act by the curate,carried _on> by Perce Welwyn. and con-tinned into the. second act. where it issuddenly cut out. and sentiment inter-venes. The socinl rap bptween DickMainwaring and Tilly Welwyn, ln'sbride-elect, is indicated by the compari-son drawn between the Mainwaring-'iluxurious home in "The Towers" andWelwyns boardinghonse in the mustyantiqititv of Bloomsbury. "What' theanthor Ims SP t out. to prove is that tra-ditions and family are of little conse-nuenee wliere. lovo is concerned. Six-teen distinct, types figure in 'the actionof the comedy, each keeping closely tothn characterisation 'as • drawn ' inHappy-Go-Luckv," 'from which hook'the play was adanted. Box' plans arenow open at the Bristol.

PROGRESS IN. DEVELOPMENTWORK
While it pointedly emphasises-the serious obstacles at presentraised to the prosecution and ex-tension of development works!; thePublic Works Statement submittedto Parliament by the Hon. J. G.Qoates is creditably . enterprisingin tone and lays down a policyof progress from which much maybe hoped as time goes on. Althoughit deals with the Minister's firstyear of public works administra-tion", and opens with an expressionof gratitude for the valuable as-sistance lie received during his per-iod, of initiation and _on subse-quent,occasions from his predeces-sor in office, Sir William Fkaseh,the Statement affords plain, proofthat Mr. Coates is already' in as-sured touch with the exacting prob-lems by which ho is confronted, andis bringing initiative and resourceto bear upon their solution. Thechanges in policy and method out-lined—some of them already effect-ed—arc manifestly on right lines.The Minister deserves to be whole-heartedly supported in his general'aim of concentrating, the resources-at his command to the best advant-age and in such a way- as to se-cure payable returns at the earliestpossible date upon the expenditureof public funds in.developmental en-terprise. Progress and change onthese lines are the more necessarysince the ■ furtherance of develop-ment work is attended at presentby extraordinary difficulties. Thoamount of work carried out duringthe last financial year fell far shortof what was desirable, but blamefor this' fact cannot, fairly be attrib-uted to the Minister ov bis Depart-ment. The scale of operations wasdetermined not by finance, but bvthe shortage of labour which isstill ■ in evidence _ and to some ex-tent by the scarcity and short sup-ply of materials. The expenditurefor the year out of the PublicWorks Fund was £2,021,152, ascompared with £1,207,482 in 1918-19, and this left a balance (includ-ing unexhausted authorities) ox£1,169,502. Looking only at roadsand bridges and railways, the lee-way to be made up: in overtakingthe_ arrears of development workwhich have accumulated during thewar and after-war .period is indi-cated In the following particularsof annual expenditure during thelast eight years:—

•1919-20 388,562 748,049The figures for 1919-20 show a con-siderable improvement upon thosoof the three preceding years, but inthe most favourable view leave avast amount of leeway to be over-taken. In normal times expendi-ture on road and railway construc-tion would no doubt have risensteadily from the level attained in1914-15, and the Dominion'is dis-tinctly poorer to-day for the ex-tent to which war and after-warconditions have limited the exten-sion of road and railway communi-cations. The position, of course,is accentuated by the settlement ofsome eight thousand returned sol-diers on rural holdings, and it hasto bo considered also (as the Min-ister points out) that the expendi-ture of a given sum to-day' will notproduce by any means as great aresult as in pre-war times.
The extent to which the Dominionhas fallen behind in developmentwork emphasises tho need for areally 'progressive public workspolicy, and as much is to be saidof the increase in working costs.Mn. Coates shows himself fullyalive to this need and although hisoutline of policy is in part antici-patory, he has already done a pooddeal to put his progressive ideasinto practical working shape. Hepoints out, for- instance, that hisDepartment is being reorganised tomeet new conditions, notably inthe creation of; special sections todeal with work- in defined categor-ies. The application of new. meth-ods to railway construction is of
particularly good promise. The al-location of a sum. of £200,000 forthe purchase- of machine tools andother plant which will be concen-trated on definite works in theirorder of importance is to be un-reservedly commended. Many de-tail passagesof tho Statement showthat tho policy of concentration isbeing methodically pursued anddeveloped on railway works. Theresults may not at once be con-spicuously apparent, but it is oneof 1 the chief recommendations ofthis policy that it will tend in-creasingly to produce quick andprofitable results as time goes on.In ideal, conditions no railway orother constructional work would
be taken in hand without tile maxi-mum labour force- and the maxi-mum' equipment in plant arid ma-chinery that could prolitably beemployed upon_ it, but in view ofthe vote-scattering policy handeddown by successive Governments itof-course would be unreasonable tooxpect these ideal conditions to beattained at a, single stride. Thesteps,-that have been.and are be-ing taken to provide public worksemployees with comfortable livingaccommodation and facilities for re-creation arc in every way justifiedand no doubt will assist materiallyto popularise this class of employ-ment. There are good grounds alsofor the Minister's expressed beliefthat it will be advantageous to en-courage groups of men to take npstraight-out contracts, the Depart-ment providing machinery and ma-terial on charge. A remedy oughtto,bo foujjSjl in this way'"not only forlabour troubles, but lor much thatis at fault in the methods underwhich public works have hithertobeen carried out. Particular satisfac-tion will be felt at the announce-ment that legislation is about to bointroduced under which the Gov-ernment will take over'"the mainroads and, it is hoped, improvoand maintain them in accordancewith modern transport require-ments. The Minister does not de-tail his proposals tinder this headbut tho essential requirements of theexisting situation are met in hisgeneral statement that "the work■will be carried out on a large scalein accordance with a definite pro-gramme and under the control 6fa well-organised staff." As a wholethe Statement is welcome in trieproof and'promise it affords of abold departure from the patchy,wasteful, and inefficient publicworks methods that have been toolong in vogue. • The Minister's pol-icy of concentration on definiteWorks in their order of importancemay brihg him to some extent infoconflict with the champions of pa-rochial interest, but all who ap-proach the question from a na-tional standpoint will recognise"that the policy is_ sound and thatin conjunction with tho free useof ' labour-saving machinery (onwhich the Statement lays equal em-phasis) it offers the only hopefulmeans of enabling the Dominion toovertake wartime leeway and for-ward, development work in the con-ditions of economy and speedy'ar-rival at'result's which are demandedin the interests of continued pros-perity.
NOTES OF THE DAY
•New' Zealand is fortunate in its newGovernor-General,.and. judging from thereceptions given His Excelloncy, is thor-oughly aware of that fact. In thesedais when there, is a feeling of slacknessnnd indifference in the atmosphero it. isa big thing to have a Governor-Generalwhose motto is "thorough," as LordJellicoe's yery clearly is.- Since his ar-rival less than a month ago ho has takenevery opportunity of mixing with thepeople and giving his personal supportand patronage to all manner of usefulinstitutions. Now Zealand is intensolyproud in any ease that so distinguisheda man should have cared to leave thecentre of things in Britain to spend fiveyearsaway at tho ends of thoearth hereas its Governor-General, and it is nowwaking tip to the fact that in Lord Jol-licoe it is likely also to have possiblytho most painstaking and personallypopular representative of the' Crownwho has ever occupied its GovernmentHouse. Tho children who thronged thoTown Hall on Thursday evening at anyrate showed themselves emphatically ofthat opinion, and their elders as' cordial-ly shared it.
The decision of- the British railwaymento strike in support of tho miners is es-pecially significant in view of the revo-lutionary spirit that has permeated sec-tions of Labour. If coal and transport
come to an end it means the stoppage ofindustry generally, and it is preciselythis general dislocation which the revo-lutionaries desire to bring about as afirst step in their programme. This morn-ing it is announced that the transportworkers are discussing tho question ofcoming out. If they join in a completehold-np of British national life will beimminent. In u country depending to bolargo an extent on imported foodstuffstho position is exceedingly grave. Sofar the opening stages of the struggle
havo been on tho lines desired by theBritish Bolshevists. at their conferencelost year. It was thero stated that inanticipation of a general strike the Bol-shevists had appointed numerous secretcommittees to supply fuel and food tothe rebels and their families and to en-sure that it should be withheld fromthe rest, of tho population. It is diffi-cult to estimate, especially at this dis-tance, what importance attaches- to thoBolshevist elements in the strike. All woknow is that their ambition is to bringabout an upheaval of this kind, and theymay. bo relied upon to ,uso whatever in-fluence they possess to foment revolu-tionary disorders during its conrso.
It, is welcome news indeed to learnfrom the Public AVo'rks Statement thatlegislation is 1 being prepared making pro-vision for tho Government taking overthe control and maintenance of mainroads. Mr. Coatcs adds that should hisproposals bo carried out it is hoped toadopt the most modern methods of con-struction and maintenance, and to- put-work in .hand on a largo scale. T|»islegislation is bound to bo of a conleii-lious nature, as there aro so many dif-ferent views of .how the main roadsquestion should be handled. Oiovorn-nient control of arterial roads is thosoundest course, but, although it .lianbeen talked of for years in connectionwith local government reform, no Gov-ernment has ever' thought it worthwhile lo take the matter up and pushit through to a definite conclusion. Thoattitude has always been to retire gracu-fiillv on the first signs of any hostilityliv the local governing bodies (o whatmany of them regard as an encroach-ment on'their preserves. The result isseen in the present state of the Domin-ion's highways. Perhaps the hard logicof facts will by this time havo over-come the opposition to Government con-trol of main roads. Road usors can
only pray that this may provo to be so.Mr. Coates's programme is .excellent.Tlie only thing that can improve itwill bo to date, to make thnl.date an early ono.
On Tuesday evening next New Zealandis to be asked to fall into lino with thegreat, international peace programme ofthe League of lied Cross Societies, Theleague was organised at Paris in May ofInst year, and its purpose is to associatethe Rod Cross societies of the world ina systematic effort to anticipate, dimin-ish, and relieve the misery producedby disease and calamity. To effect thisend the Bed Cross societies of GreatBritain, France, Italy, Japan, and theUnited States have banded together, andhave invited the other societies through-out the world to join them. Afterfifty years of honourable service in thecause of humanity the Bed Cross socie-ties underwent an amazing developmentof their powers in the war, and thenew organisation has been created, tocope with peace-time needs in a muchmore complete way than has been pos-sible in the' past. It is lightly' con-tended that the health problems of theworld can never bo solved by doctorsalone,, nor by Governments alone. Tomeet them the henrty volunteer co-oper-ation of tho peoples themselves must be'enlisted. Port of. the programme is toorganise flying columns to copo withepidemics and disasters in every; partof the world; to create a great educa-tional movement iu favour of hygiene
and.tho raising of children; and to es-tablish central research laboratorieswhere the world's efforts in solving thoproblems of disease may be concentrat-ed. At Tuesday evening's meeting theprogramme of work for New Zealandunder the scheme will be explained.'' Nomore beneficent. organisation than theBed Close exists in tho' world, and itdeserves all the support that tho citi-zens of this Dominion can give it inextending nnd. developing its activities.

Although they disclose n big increasein traffic, tho figures of tho RailwaysWorking Account for the period fromApril 1 to September 13, 1920, show alsoii much less prosperous state of affairsthan wag shown for the correspondingperiod Inst year. The marked featureof this year's return is a great, growthin expenditures which much more thanbalances tho coincident increaso in re-venue and leaves a much smaller balancoof not revenue than was shown last yearfor a similar period. Tho position ap-pears in the following table:—

In 1919, the 'revenue and expenditure amounted re-spectively to about two-fifths of the re-venue and expenditure for the complotofinancial year If the same held goodo c this year's April-September figures,and' the present ratio of expenditure torevenue were maintained, the percentageof net revenue to capital invested for thecurrent year would be only a little overthree per cent., as compared with 4.53 percent, last year and 4.65 per cent, in 1918-19 Unless expenditure is further in-cretsed, an improvement in the figure'sfor the half-year may be looked for, however, in view of the fact that on Sep-
tember 13 the latest increase in-fares ahdtroights had been m foreo only for aweek or two. Even so, it seems ratherdoubtful whether the railways, duringthi current financial year, will earn in-terest on tho' capital invested. The latestreturn casts instructive light on thoenormous increase in working costs—duemainly to wago increases and the highcost of coal—in an enterprise which isnot called upon to provide anything inthe shape of (private profit.

AFFAIRS ON LYTTELTON WATEE-FRONT.
By TelfarftDh-l'rcna Association.Christchurch, October 21
At, flio Lytlclton Magistrate's Court,'before Mr. S. E. .H'Carthy, .S.M., a fire-man on tho steamer Leitriin was chargedwith stealing ,a carcass Of lamb, value'at 305., the property of the Fcdera-steam Navigation Company Accusedpleaded guilcj.
Senior-Sergeant D. Jackson said Hiemore he saw of these cases the moreho dopl/jred the deplorable state ofaffairs on the waterfront. Accused stoletho carcass yesterday, and was caught „by the cliicf officer going- down belowwith it. No ono scorned to know wherehe got it, nor did anyono appear- tocare. . Yesterday, at tho sitting of theCourt, they had the manager of a largecompany as a witness in a cose of al-leged theft of coal, and he had said thatlie thought tho chief engineer of thevessel would have tho right to.give otherpeople's properly away. "T can enlysay this," continued tho senior ser-geant, "that I have come to this con-clusion: That the management of theLylfelfoou waterfront is like 'Paddy'sgnu'—it wants a Jiew lock, stock, andbarrel. It is astonishing that, men cantake stuff from' tho side of a ship, andonly by the purest of accidents be caught.'.ikinsr it down to the forecastle. Whentho heads S>f firms come here and saycuch things as that, you can little won-der at firemen, committing thefts." '
In giving judgment, the Magistratesaid: "Wo had'a case yesterday iiiMiieh ..
tho 6ame. company's property was con-cerned, and the evidence of the'local-manager was that a chief engineer wouldhave a right, should bo feel- so disposed,to give three tons of coal away.- Threetons of coal is worth £12 in Lyttelton,and we are to assume that a servant ofthe Federal Line had Authority to dis-nose of it. When that evidence is
»given in open Court, it is little wonderthat 'small fry' on a ship commit theft.However. I cannot overlook this theft.I shall convict accused, and sentencehim to three months' imprisonment, withhard labour."
SCENE IN A COURT
I'LMSONHI? PROTESTS AGAINST 'EIGHT YEAKS' HAKD LABOUR.
Br Telegraph—Press AssociationAuckland, October 22.
"I think accused is a Bolshevik," saidMr. Hunt, when perusing the Policereport in tho Supreme Court to-day, onJohn William M'Clure, who admittednine charges of breaking and entering;nnd theft, and n tenth charge of break-ing and entering with intent. The crimeswere committed over u wide area, moatof them being at Thames.
Mr Hunt said accused was reportedto have objections to- existing law, andto have slated thai he would conlimioto commit offences ns long as the lawcontinued in its present form. Untilfour vears ago, when M dure was, js
venrs of age, lie had lived a decent life,but he suddenly went wrong, apparentlyundor some kind of.-influeur.ee. In tlies*four Tears ho had been convicted a num-ber of limes, and- in August last, litPalnicrston North, lie was sentenced, tnthree vears for breaking and entering,which'he was now serving.

WAGES FOR PRISONERS
EXTENSION OF SYSTEM,
Extensions o flhe wages system forprisoners, whether undergoing reforma-tive treatment, sentences ot hard labour,or declared habitual criminals, havebeen decided upon by the ..Prisons De-partment. The Minister m charge ofthe- Department (Hon. J. 0. Coates)
stated yesterday that in 'ho Piisons Ee-port and in the Budget it ,was indicatedthat it was' proposed to (provide torpayments for prisoners, and that por-
'tiona of these payments would be avail-able for' tho dependants. The regula-
tions at present in force merely, providethat the habitual, criminal and tlw manundergoing reformative treatment shallreceive payment tinder the' wages sys-tem.. The man sentenced to a term ofhard labour receives no more than agratuity upon discharge. .
All prisoners are now to be placedupon the samo footing. They will, re-ceive sis shillings per day as a basis,and after that, by a system of marks-according to conduct, they will be ableto earn a further shilling a day, andstill another shilling up to a maxi-mum of eight shillings a day. It isintended that one-halt of these earningsshall bo paid over to the depenclnuts,and one-half retained for maintenanceand supervision, it follows that if aman works well it will be possible forhis dependants to receive approximately28s. a week. The new system conies intooperation from January 1 next.
When it is shown that the prisonerhad dependants he will commence to bepaid.wages after tho first three monthsof tho sentence have l«en served, theminimum- of six shillings,a day at thooutset. If the reports of the officerin charge of the man are natisfactorytho further shilling will he paid afterono month, and a further- mouth ofiwlisfactory results will enable him toreceive tho maximum. Overtime, wherenecessary. 6hall bo paid at the rate ofone shilling an hour. Competent trades-men will he .paid an additional twoshillings a day, and the 6ajne additionwill bo mado to men who nro carryingout work of special value to the De-partment. « (
Tho recommendations upon which thonew svstem is based conclude by theBlatamont that as all classes of prison-ers with dependants arc being placed\ipsm .Mi equality, it will, •therefore,bo impossible to deny .to hard labourprisoners without dependants equalityof treatment with' Iho other offenders!n the same category. .

'''... *—— .'
A SURVEY OF OPERATIONS
IMPROVED METHODS OF RAIL-• WAY CONSTRUCTION
FINANCIAL PROVISION FOR THE YEARThe Minister of Publio Works (Hon.J. 6. Coate6> presented tho annual Pub-lio Works Statement to the House of Re-
presentatives last tnight. The .., state-ment surveys tho works now in hand,
and indicates to some- extent the inten-tions of the Department for the futureThe money, available for (expenditureduring the current year is stated by theMinister- to be .£3,009,502, and the esti-
' mated expenditure (e.xclusivo of hydro-electric development) is .£3,572,500. TheStatement mentions that the Depart-ment is making increasing use of labour-'
■■ saving machinery, and ha 9 additional' plant on 'order. The Minister intends
• to encourage the - co-operative contract' -system. •
The most important portions of thoStatement are given below:—To meet the urgent demands upon the
• Department at this period,, when somuch 'leeway,, due to the almost total■ cessation of operations during the war,■ has to bo overtaken, further rcorganisu-. tion has been effected. Office adminis-tration has been separated from the en-gineering branches, and both have beenfurther sectionnlised. The number ofinspecting engineers has be'en increased.The object aimed at is .decentralisation,and the placing of more direct respon-sibility on the officials.- In order to en-sure a contentedl and efficient body ofemployees every effort is now made to-properly house and provide for the com-fort of tho men. Collapsible huts,
\ amusement halls, and Y.M..C.A. can-teens have been erected at*sonie works,and others.are being arranged. Themen .themselves are encouraged to takea practical interest in all matters per-taining to tho work in hand. I intendto encourage the straight-out contractsystem, and to give every assistance togroups of men by providing machineryand material on-charged I feel confi-dent that the course pursued- will be tbtho country's advantage. Tt will, se-cure expedition and the full energy ofthe men in the carrying-outof our'con-structive works. ■ ■..
The task of developing as rapidly- aspossiblo our latont hydro-electric energyis of urgent importance. The Govern-ment is fully aware of this fact, andevery .possible provision will be made ac-cordingly. A separate hydro-electricbranch has been formed, andl Mr. -L7'Birks has been placed in - charge, witha staff of engineers'and with the neces-sary clerical assistance. An advisoryboard-will be set up to-further a'dvi6othe .Government, and, later, to controlgenerally the business side.
: ' RAILWAYS. • .;.
'
To detail futuro railway constructionwould fake up too much space. Gen-erally speaking, the lines to be construct-ed have been classified in order of im-portance, consideration at the samo timebeing given to the amount of .moneyavailable. New and more economicalmethods of construction have'been adopt-ed ,by tho greater employment of me-chanical aids. With this object inview a sum of ,£200,000 has been agreedto by Cabinet for tho purchase of ne-cessary machinery. Details of the plantare given latei. -.It is not intended to
. distribute. this machinery nil over tho
...cj)un.trv, on. various'small -works,"but toconcentrate it on' certain': definite works.
.When these undertakings have beeri com-pleted it will be removed with its per-sonnel to other lines next in order of..importance. Legislation will be intro-duced this session to' enable light rail-
, wats of a less gauge than 3ft, 6in. to beconstructed.

CONCENTRATION.Supplies of rails, steel, and hardwoods
for bridges have.beon difficult to obtain,and essential machinery, (excopt to avery limited extent, has been and is stillalmost unprocurable. ' Labour has beendifficult to obtain, and the ability to
■ earn high wages has not attracted suffi-cient men of a satisfactory class. Carry-ing on a, number of works with insutn-aent ..employees increases overhead ex-penses, and'renders satisfactory progressimpossible. It is far fetter to fullyman and vigorously prosecute a smallernumber of works- With the Idea ofconcentrating available resources' in men,plant, and money certain proposals for.the temporary postponement of workswhich are ,now being carried on in a6mall way are made.
PLANT.To cope witti the shortage of efficient
labour increasing' use .is being niade.ofmachinery, and such improved resultshave already been demonstrated that, inspite of 1 tho exorbitant prices now de-manded, arrangements are being made togreatly increase the mechanical plant.The Department now has eleven steam-shovels, with. ten locomotives attendingon them, engaged on earthwork, and/ ifpromised deliveries are fulfilled, .willhave thirty-four steam shovels and thirty-four locomotives within the next fewmonths. Increasing use is being madeof mechanical traction not only fortransport, 'but' for operating gradingmachinery, 'etc:: Stone-crushingr''andconcrete-mixing- machinery is being in-stalled whenever work of any magnitudeis in hand.
The cement shortage has been also acontinual source of anxiety. Many workscannot be commenced,, and others can-not be carried but in proper sequence.Such important works as the .Arthur'6Pass and other tunnels have b'cen heldup owing to the impossibility of obtain-ing regular supplies. The progress atall works .under the difficult circum-stances, however, lua beeu satisfactory.. The Statement describes tho work thathas been done 'during the past year onnew railway lines throughout New Zen-land. The following summaries are ofinterest to the Wellington district:—
Tauranga Westwards.—Tauranga sec-tion (3G mile 3 to 41 miles 5 chains' equals5 miles's chains):. Some formation is be-ing proceeded with to the extent of theman-power available. .
....
' Tauranga' Eastwards—Malapihi section(•11 miles 5 chains to 45 miles equals 3miles. 75 chains): Erection of the Tau-ranga Bridge is proceeding to the fullcapacity of the skilled and experiencedlabour available. I'ive cylinders 'havebeen finished, and six others nro wellforward. Eangitaiki section (79 miles 16chains to 87 miles 71 chains equals 8miles 55 chains): Forming arid trimminghas proceeded uninterruptedly during thewhole year and good progress has beenmade. Kails are now laid to 84 miles41 chains, and u commencement is beingmadd with t|he liangitaiki Kiver tem-porary bridge.
Awakiri Section (87 miles 71 chainsonwards).—Formation work is in hand,and several .miles, of service road havebeen .constructed. Plying surveys have-been made, and 19 miles, of trial linesrun.
those on mainten-ance, traffic, construction, and'locationsurvey, 310 men are employed, it isanticipated that tho irails will bo laidinto Awakeri Station .by tho end of1920, and to W.hakatane Junction withinanother six months. Owing to thecharacter of the swamp country, therails are being laid practically on thonatural siiirface, and tlio banks builtwith materials brought by train frompits where it is,excavated by mechani-cal me,ans.
Gisborne-Wuiroa.—Ngatapa Section (0miles to 10 miles 21) 'chains); actuallength, 11 miles 18 chains).—This sectionis nearly completed, and has been effi-ciently maintained.
Waikura Section (10 miles 29 chainsonwards).—Formation is proceeding withwhat labour is available. Seventy-fourmen are now-employed. The railwaybetween Gisborne and Napier will tra-verse extremely difficult and treacher- ■'ous country, and, as throughout a ereatdeal of its length it does not followtho present line of road, it will be manyyears, even with fho most vigorous pro-secution, before it will lx> of lrnterialassistanco to through passengers. Itseems to mo, therefore, that the properpolicy will be to push on as oiergeti-cally' as possible with tho construction ofa metalled road between these two im-portant centres. As soon as this is. donethero will bo at le.ast ono sure avenueof communicatio'n,' and the men engaged
'on this road work can all bo placed on'the railway works; and, furthermore,by that time, with the completion oferimo of the other work in hand, inoroplant, and men will bo available. Bytheir concentration tlu-u on the railway•between Napier and Giaborao tho con.l.ection will 1* rac.lo' fl l ns emly ada*o as. would result fro'n an nWeinptat the present time'lo push on with thevery limited supply of labour andmaterial at present available.
AVairoa-Gisborne. — 'Frasci-town Sec-tion (0 miles onwards). — 1-ab-onr shortage prior to Decem-ber last materially hampered workon this section, but men hnvo been n.oroplentiful since. Formation is proceed-ing, service roads are hern? formed, andfencing erected. Shortage of cr.'.uuit hasdelayed the eonstruc'ion of culverts, etc,fifty-four Inen are now a» work.

March last by the letting of a num-ber, of co-operative contracts.to returnedMaori soldiers. .Approximately two hun-dred horses and fifty 6coops are .at pre-sent engaged on the works, tho Nativesproviding tho horses and the Depart-ment the scoops; 107 employees are ntpresent engaged, About six miles offormation has been completed, and itis anticipated that the rails will belaid on 20 miles within tho next twelvemonths.
Stratford-Main Trunk.—East End —
Matiere Section (0 miles to 10 miles 21chains, ':quul 10 miles 21 chains).—Thoformation work on this section is nowpractically complete, and tho labouravailable- is concentrated principally, ontho tunnels. Only 7 chains'of the OkahuTunnel (70 chains iit length) remain tobe done. Of tho other three, one isfinished throughout, and the excavationof the other two is! completed, and acommencment has been made with thelining of one.of these. All materials forthe steel bridge over l!io Ongarue Paverare on hand, and a. contract has beenlet for tho erection. As it is anticipatedthat this contract will, take about twelvemonths to complete, and as there is aconsiderable length of formation readyforMho rails, I propose to erect a tem-porary'bridge to enable the platelayingand balasting to bo eii.lrt'icd on beyondthft fcridge, thus saving many monthsin the final completion of the line. Seve-ral bridges which occur ojl this lengthwill consist of concrete- piers with steelBupeisfructure. The concrete- piers willlio erected this summer.'- The steel fortho bridges'has already been ordered.Immediately it arrives the contract willbo entered into.

Olnira Section (10 miles 21 chains to19 miles 70 chains, equal 9 miles 49chains).—Permanent survey plans havebeen completed, and the land pian sur-vey is 'in hand. About 1j miles of for-mation, has been completed. Suiy-twomen are at work.
■ West End—Tahora section (42 miles20 chains' to 47 miles 40 chains—s mil*s14 'chains)—Work during tho year wasconfined principally to the completion, oftho formation of this section and 6ervi"»roads for the section immediately, be-yond. Platelaying has been extendedinto the Tahora yard, and ballasting hasbeen continued. ■ Beyond Tahora tliernis little settlement, arid it can be servedby a terminus at Tahora. Thework li»-yond is heavy, and I propose to discon-tinue operations, and to complete the lineto .Tahora and hand it over to the Rail-way Department. Later, when somo ofthe othc'i' lines are completed, work, canbe recommenced beyond Tahora • withgreater vigour, and the tim'e of ultimateconnection will not thus be appreciablydelayed; ■ .
Raekohua Section (47 miles 40 chainsto 50 miles 00 chains).—Formntion liasbeen commenced, service roads are underconstruction, fencing is in course of erec-tion and bridges are being built. I pro-pose discontinuing on this section as in-dicated, above, and. transferring -the mento the Ohura end.'
Heao Section (50 miles GO chains- on-wards).—s} miles of trial' survey has -beenmade from- near the Tangarakau Rivertowards tho Heao, leaving 1 mile of triallino to reach the Heao River.

Wellington-Woodvillo Railway (Eimn-taka, Deviation).—The Department hasin hand thtv collection of information asto the relative merits of numerous routes■which have 'bton suggested in connectionwith the deviation for obviating tl epresent incline crossing tbi Rimutakadivide. Some of theso routeshave alreadybeen' surveyed, and as soon as suitableofficers can be. spared from other worksa.definite decision as to the route to liefollowed will bo made. It must be real-ised that this is fl vary, important mat-ter whichi cannot be delegated to' juniorofficers.
Midland.—Otira-Bcaley (Arthur's PassTunnel).—OKra End.—All work was car-ried out by day labour prior to last May,sinco when the co-operative system hasbeen in operation. Nineteen oblains oflining have been completed during (lieyear. Bad ground was encountered atthis end.
Beaky End.—Work at this end con-tinued on the co-opcrnUvo principle <1tir-ing the whole year. Exactly the samenumber of chains of lining (1!)) was fin-ished as at the Otira end, making 38 forthe year. Only 51.51 chains iiow remainto completo the whole work. One hun-.(iro dand eighty-thrte men are employed.Arrangements for the electrification y ewell forward, and for this work verysubstantial votes 'will be required thisand next year. If the contracts now fil-tered into and the.further works com-plementary thereto au; carried out withinthe contract time, it is expected thlat anexpenditure of i' 500,000 will be incurrednoxt yl;nr, and it may be tocurtail expenditure on 6omo less im-portant Hues on account of this highfigure.

to my Department for expenditure. ItIs regretted, howover, Hint very' littlelabour was offering for 'road constructiongenerally, especially in remote localities,and. even in the- .inoro settled districtsmen were hard to get. Furthermore,tlio construction of bridges has beenmaterially hampered owing to thedifficulty of obtaining steel and hard-
wood, consequent upon the state of thesteel market, ami the scarcity of ship-ping space. It is hoped, however, withthe co-operation and assistance of settlers,and the. possibility of improved mar-kets and shipping facilities, that bet-ter progress will lie made fills financialyear. The incroused use of machineryis contemplated. 'At the present timegraders are used wherever possible, butsteam shovels are now being utilised, and,in addition, a considerably increasednumber! of graders, to be drawn bymechanical traction, are on order. It.is hoped in this way to make up. forthe shortage of efficient labour.

The policy of providing for telephoneexchange subscribers' circuits by meansof underground cable is being continued.During the year 8015 miles of under-ground cable wires were run out. Thol>arty-lino system was extended by theaddition of 577 lines and 1900 subscribersToll lines throughout the Dominion arecongested, and additional circuits are re-uuired in every district.

Extensions to the manual andautomatic exchanges are required in thocentres as'well as in many smaller towns.The construction of underground cablesystems at Ohdstehureh and Dunedinin preparation lor automatic excliangcswill be proceeded with. Scarcity of ma-terial still hampers tho constructionaloperations of tho Department.

ment it Iras been my endeavour to 90allocate tho funds 'placed at my dis-posul as will best serve the interests oftile Dominion us a whole While it hasboon impossible to proceed this year withnil the works for which requests havebeen made, I oin of opinion that con-centration on fewer' works will Tesult inall the necessary undertakings being car-ried out not only more cheaply, but alsomure expeditiously in the long run thanwould result from an attempt to enrryon simultaneously a grentor number of•works ■ than can "bo adequately suppliedwith niKi and material. Though thosums, placed on the Estimates exceedtho amounts appropriated during tho lostfew years, it must be boruo in mind thatthe cost of everything linn no much in-creased that the'larger sums on the Es-timates, when expended, will not pro-duce as great a result as similar amountsliavo produced in pro-war times.

been encased in discussions with leadingLabour members of the House of Com-mons, which "were still progressing, butthe Railway Executive's precipitate ac-tion, had embarrassed the negotiations,adding very seriously to the difficulties.The negotiations had not broken down<md he hoped they would bo resumed,but it would have been better if the.matter had been left to the miners alone.

GAMING BILL, NO. 2
AMENDED BY THE COUNCIL
POWER TO INCREASE PERMITS TAKENAWAY
Sir Francis Bell yesterday moved, intho Council tho second reading theGaining Amendment Bill (No. 2). Themeasure provides for the setting up ofa commission to consider whether moretotalisator permits should be issued ineach year, and whether there should be.a, redistribution of permits'. It'alsogrants to the hunt clubs of the Domin-ion eight more permits per annum.-.•The-Eon.. J. Barr said that tho realfunction of the commission was to bringforward arguments that would induceParliament to increase the number' ofpermits. The question of redistribu-tion was a side issu'o. The supportersof the Bill were' proposing—while theyadvocated production and still more pro-duction—that on a greater number ofdays than at present the producersshould be taken away from productionto attend race meetings. This was onoof the things that were going to callattention to the pitch that hadbeenreach-ed by this sport that was no longer asport, but was becoming an evil."
The Hon. T. Mac Gibbon thought thattlus was no time. to' suggest anythingthat-would tend to increase the amountof racing in the country. He wouldhave supported tho Bill had it containednothing more than a proposal.to havethe question of redistributing permitsconsidered.
The Hon. E. Mitchelson said that theprevious speakers appeared to have mis-understood the Bill. It did not meauthat the number of permits was goingto be increased. At present the dis-tribution ofpermits was quite inequitable.He hoped thaC the Bill would be passed,and that the commission would be. givenan opportunity of bringing up ■ its re-port, which he believed would be infavour of a readjustment rather thanan increase. Personally, he did notfavour an increase in the total numberof racing days. Both Houses . wouldhave an opportunity of reversing the de-cision made by tho commission, it', thatdecision led to an increase that mem-bers considered unjustified.
The. Hon. W. Eanishaw was sure thatthe commission would favour an in-ciea.so. Ho believed that gambling de-stroyed moro working men's homes thandrinking. He would oppose the Bill.
The Hon. H. L,. Michel hoped thatwhen the question of reallottdng the per-mits was decided,.some of the smallerdistricts would receive justice.■The-Hon>C. H. Izard objected to tlie
■ Bill. • It was only a Bill to assist gen--tlenien.who owned horses, and to bringin revenue. He would support nothingthat meant another day's racing. In1 cflinmittee he would inova to preventthe Government having power to in-ereasti the number of permits upon thol
» commission's recommendation^The Hon. 0. Samuel appealed for *vm-
pathetic consideration for the hunt clubs'.These clubs had to obtain nioro rev-enue-or, give up the sport. At present
club had a. permit in every twoyears. The Bill would givo to cacoclub a permit in every year.
The Hon. 11. Cohen claimed that therewas ail-insistent public demand that thenumber of racing days in the veurshould not bo increased.
T'lie Hon. J. B. Gow said that tho Billdid. not deal with sport, but with whatwas a very undesirable adjunct to sport-llo had been glad to hear from JlvMitchelson that there was not a generaldesire- on the part of the racing com-munity for an increase in tho numberof ipermits. If this was so, why hailthe question of increasing the numberof permits been left open? He wouldnot object to tho passage of the Bill, pro-vided that the power to grant more per-mits' was removed.
SH-'Walter Buchanan believed that thoBill would not have been introducedhad it not been for tho present unfairdistribution of permits. He was ciuitaf>uro that tlio public sentiment was not'in favour of an iucreaw in tho numberof permits. (Hear, hear) Ho wouldvoto for the'second reading because Jiathought, that in. the -circumstances itwould be a mistake if the secondreadingweror not carried. The advent of themotor-car had made it more necessarj
-rthan ever to encourage the breeding ofthe best class of hoiw,
A Councillor; But'not racehorses; notthin-legged horsiw. . .
Kir Walter Buchanan: That shows thaithe hon. g(shtleman has never had totest the value of .the thin-leggedhorse! He doesn't know what finality isin a horso when'ho uses' such languageas that. For over sixty years I havohad experience of tho value of goodhorses, and I am satisfied that wcro it

Shehas been largely indebted for her placoin the world to the fostering of'valuablohorses . . .Whatever change is mnrtob.v the Bill, it should not bo in thudirection, of increasing tha 'number ofpermits.
Sir Francis Bell asked tho Conn'oll to"exercise 6omo common souse," and notbe led away by the "too-goods." Theexisting clubs should not bo deprived oftheir present revenue. Either there mustbe a mere redistribution.of existing per-mits in order to give permits to theplaces that ought to have them, or theremust be an increase to give the placesin question a reasonable number of per-mits without taking away revenue from:
-any club. It was unfair trt.ask.a, clubto give up what it had for a long time
been entitled to\ Hi* had been asked toaccept an amendment (hat would meanmem redistribution. That would, in hisopinion, be unjust. 'The supporters oftho amendmentasked that what belongedto A should bo taken away ntod givon toB.

Mr. Barr feared that the clause giv-ing more permits to hunt clubs was opento abuse. It'seemed to him that therewas a good deal of camouflage about it,and he wished to sec it struck out.
Sir Francis Bell asked the Council tobe. satisfied with wlwt it had alreadydone. The Bill was already very differ-«nt from what it had been. The eightextra permits wore to so to ousting huntclubs. . ■ ,

The rocommendatioii of the Stock Com-I'tiitlco that a meat export licenso shouldnot 'be gran tod to Armour and Companyof Australasia was further discussed bytho House of Representatives yesterday.Tin committeo had stated that Armouran;! Company of Australasia was a sub-sijliary company of Armour and Companyof Chicago, which, in common with othercompanies, had carried out practices in-imical to both producers and consumers.
Mr. D. Jones (Kaiapoi) said that thereal ;ssue had been clouded by manyreferences to what the Meat Trust inoast years had done in the United States.New Zealand, as a matter of. fact, hadbeen doing business with the Americansfor twenty years, and it wished to con-tinue that business. Yet the meat coulonot' got into tho .American market with-out the aid of the biir companies ■ con-trolling the cold stornee. All the freez-ing firms in New Zealand had been sell-ing to Armour and .Company for tinlast tin or fifteen years, and the refusalof a license meant merelv that tho Amer-ican linn must work through an neent.her; ss in London;-' The men who werefighting the license were the middle*mon, who wanted commissions. Mr.Jones stated thnt New Zealand was uiagainst a British trust finite as danger-ous as any American trust. Lamb lianever brought its fair market price ir.London and every New Zealander whohad gone to Britain to make inquiricu:on the point had found himself u-against a brick wall. Tim Governmenthad put obstacles in the way of Armomand Company, but it had allowed VestevBrothers to establish control from Wha-ngare.i to Gieborne. Ho considered itbad business, and an net of injustice'> differentiate against the Americapfirm.
Mr: G. "Witty (Riccartonl, speaking a*one who had had experience in stockdealing, said that he had done businesswith Armours and, had been fairly treat-ed by tlifijii He complained that im-policy of dentins with these woplc wivpaltry and mean.

so eliminate the middleman? He quote;,messages received from farmer consti-tuents urging that Armours be allowedto operate on the. grounds that it wouldimprove competition in the markets, l'o.tliis to happen, he desiired, would he
a benefit to tli? fnrracM.The Government Congratulated.
Mr. W."D. Lysiiar (Gisborne) congratu-lated the Government on its afctituJq.The ll'l'usal of a license to Armour andCo. was in tho interests of thei formers,and that fact would be realised in lieyears to come. Ho regretted that thebranch of the American Trust had foundso many supporters in the House. A vorygreat deal of propaganda kid been pro-ceeding," and the ' representatives ofArmour and Co. before the committeehad been compelled to admit that someof the statements published on thair b«-hnlf were not correct. They had madothat admission when confronted with Hiesworn evidence of their principal, Mr. J.Ogden Armour, of Chicago. Tiro firmunder discussion had drawn its capitalfrom J. Ogden Armour, and it was oper-
ating in : his interests. There could I.e"0 argument on that point, since tJ.nfacts wSre admitted. This principal had[iilmitted in the United Stales 'that nelias spending a year on propa-ganda. This money was not subject to,audit, and smno ot it might lie coming
to New Zealand to-day. It had bt|jnshown that Mr. Amour paid .£160(1 a
'year to tli« editor of an American triflejournal. Mr. Tyson added that he re-garded Veslny .brothers as n similarlydangerous firm. Vestey Brothers l.ada capital of i'2MM in New Zealand, andowned works to the vahiA of ,£500,e00.It was escaping its- just share of taxa-tion. Evidence before tho Slock Com-mittee had shown that Armour and Co.had never paid any income tax in flewZealand. ,' .
*
Mr. O. J. Hawkon (Eginont) said h»was generally iigainst aggregations ofcapital such as the trusts representeel. .Hia democratic country snow a tilingshould be made impossible. The MeatTrust was one of the most domimui'igI rusts in the world. In the United Stalesthey handled 8G per cent, of th* meatproducts, in the Argentine three-qunrfeirs,and in other countries an equal amount.And now the Government, knowing thomethods of tho trust, was being askedto "rant a license. If oncea license were"ranted the firm would lie hero to stay.TlU'v did not come to buy a little meatbut'to dominate the market. To preventthem from owning freezing works would'be no safeguard, because they could dom-irato the stock market, and cut off sup-plies from any works. The fanner wouldnaturally sell to tho highest bidder, ardthe trust's grip would be assured. An-other potential danger was from .lietrust and tho shipping working together.\. rebate of sixpence on sheep $n t!iefreight to London would enable any one
.shipV to drive out all competitors, lortho Meat Trust to work with shippngcompanies would enable it to dominatethe markets of -the wholo Empire.

his mind how to vote on tho questionNo Need to Fear Competition.
Mr. ,1. If. Hamilton (Awnyin) said tillswas a case of a trust being thrcati-ne'lhv a trust, and they as fanners wanteda'littlo healthy competition nt this stitgn.It would bo in the interests, of them all.So long as tho markets of the world wer«open there would bo any amount of capi-tal ready and willing to buy nail hcndit there, so why should they be fright-ened of competition Tho farmers weredesirous of Belling to Armour and Com-pany mid tho Government wo-ro objecting.
Mr. W. D. Tow-droll (Patcal said hehad not had any idea that there wereso many rascals running freezing worksin the South Island . (Laughter.) TheNorth Island freezing works wore runon co-operative lines and their mottousually was: "No dealer entew here.''But the, South Island works, built withfanners' money, were used to makomoney for dealers at the farmers' ex-pense. The men who wauled Almoinand Company to receive a license weretoo mean to build works of their own.and lioy wanted Amoriean capital to-be,
used on their behalf. They were short-sighted enough to ask an American "trustto come along and make a profit outof them. The farmers could not preventArmour and Company Inlying New Zea-land moat, but they need not invitethem to do it In the paddocks. Let theAmericans buy tho meat after it wasshipped.
Mr. H. Atmore (Nelson) quoted evi-dence of the Meat Trust's unfair meth-ods in the United Stales and remindedtho House that American law, while sup-pressing trusts at 'home, permitted theformation of trusts that were to operatein other countries.
The Loader of the Opposition (Mr. YY'il-ford) said'that tho discussion was resolv-ing itself into a controversy between theNorth Island and the South Island. Hehoped tho vote, would not bo taken onthis basis." Ho would naver vote to ad-mit a trust to New Zealand. The trustshad operated against public interost intho United States. Mi'.

The trusts knew thinthoy were being dealt with in Americaand' would bo dealt with in Kng and. sonow they were trying to establish them-selves at the buying end.

Mr ' S. G. Smith (Taranaln) supportedtho recommendation of the committee-tie was convinced that the Meat lrustwas already operating in ?>»«' /Sealaiiu.and that tlio interests of producers anuconsumers would suffer if its operationswere extended. n
Mr A. Hamilton (Wallace) .thoughtthat the Government was condemningArmour and Company upon mere sus-picion. There had boon a diversity ofopinion upon tho question in the coinmivtee. Ho had spoken to many genuinefarmers about the matter, and none orthein had said tho fort of thing that he

a question of "wanting gold," but 0110 o?honest conviction. Everything! that tin-company had done it 'had done openly andhonestly, it would have been quite easyfor tho company to come in under afalse name. He did not believe thatthe. people of this country should do any-thing to otl'end their American neigh-bours. Ho bolieved that vhut t.!,„ yo veminent should .do was to deal withNew Zealand combines.
The Labour Party was opposed not onlyto Armour and Company coining in, butalso to local combines operating, saidMr. H. E. Holliind5 (Bulier). Ho con-sidered that the Government should takeover tho industry,.

THE LAND BILLSALE OF NATIONAL
ENDOWMENT
PROCEEDS TO BE REINVESTEDINLAND
PREFERENCE AT BALLOTS
The Land Laws Amendment Bill waslast night further considered by theHouse in committee. On the previousnight ouiy thq "short title' had beenpassed. . iThe Minister stated that amendmentsho ,proposed to put before the Housewould bo brought down Inter by Gov-ernor-General's Message. A new clausewould bo proposed in substitution forthat dealing with investment of pro-
ceeds from the sale of national endow-ment land. It was felt" that the clausein the Bill was. not sufficiently strongto safeguard the proper investment ofthe funds. v
South African Votera'ns.When the House reached the iclause
giving returned soldiers and certainother classes of landless applicants equalpreference over all other applicants atballots under the Land Act, IMS, Mr.G. Mitchell (Wellington South)'asked tucMinister. to nccept an amendment, in-cluding in the clauso "members of theNew Zealand contingenta who served inthe South African War,"
The Prime Minister 6a,idit wasintend-ed to do something for the South Afri-can men after the soldiers, returnedfrom l.ho late war had been providedwith land. The amendment proposedby Mr. Mitchell seemed to be Ml appro-priation, and therefore to be out of or-der. It meant bringing in more men—probably many hundreds.
Mr. Mitchell said ho thought that thoSouth African veterans oughjll to he.put on tho same footing as landless ap-plicants with children find landless ap-plicants who had been twice- unsuccess-ful at ballots.
Several members contended that Mr.Mitchell would not bo out of order inmoving his amendment. The only ques-tion involved was ono of preference, notexpenditure.
More applicants meant more land,Massey rejoined,
The chairman (Mr. A. S. Malcolm)eventually ruled that tho amendmentwas not an appropriation. Tlieo was 110additional land involved, and the ques-tion was only one of naming those whoshould havo preference!
Mr. Massey said it was clear fromthe ruling that tho etfect of tho amend-ment would, be that.South African vete-rans were going to take tho place ofmen who had served in tho Great War.He had thought of asking for the Speak-er's ruling, but ho would not do so.
Tho Hon. D. H. Guthrie (.Minister ofLands) said ho would not accept' thoamondniQiit;, Ho agreed with the PrimeMinister as to what its effect would be.
Mr. W. S, Glenn (Raf&itikci) 'pro-tested, as a returned soldier, againsttlio amendment. The soldiers who hadfought in tho lato war, ho said, oughtto bo settled first.
Mr. C. E. Statham (Duncdjn Central)appealed for more consideration for thoSouth African veterans. Those men, hothought, had not been very well treatedby tho State. They had faced hard-ships and dangers, just as tho soldiersin the lato war had done,.
Mr. V. H. Potter (Roskill) asked thoHouse to -support the Government infulfilling the pledgo it had given to thereturned soldiers. The returned soldier?had asked for preference ovpr otherclasses of applicants, and had receiveda "i-miiicp that thev would get it.
The Minister of Lands tlioneht thatthere was a good deal of "beating thoair" in tho, discussion that had beej>going on. The clause dealt with ordr-narv Crown land—not land set aside byproclamation for the. purposes of dis-charged soldier settlement. It mentipn-ed several fclasses within which manySouth African men desiring land wouldcome.
The amendment was defeated by ?2votes to Z(i. -
Tho Endowment Lands,"That is one of. tho clauses which will
be recommitted.' I am bringing downa Governor-General's Message regardingit." said'tho Minister, referring' t» clause11, which provides, inter alia, that th* l(Jovornor-General may "from time totimo" declare that "any unoccupied na-tional endowment land-not exceeding inthe aggregate 10,000 aorea shall cease tobo national endowment laud'
Mr. G. Witty (Ricearton) contendedthat the words, "from time to tinie"would enablo; the Government to partwith tho whole of t]ie national endow-ment land by successive proclamations.He suggested that tho words in (iifestiopshould(bo struck put.
Tho Minister agreed tn the -amend-ment, which was- adopted.
Tho Prime Minister explained thatclause 11 would at a later stace lieamended iu order, as tho Minister orLands bad indicated, that the investment of the money from the salo of en-dowment land should ho properly safe-guarded. Tha intention of the Gov-
ernment, said Mr. Alassey (and this in-tention would be expressed in the amend-ment) was that an endowment fundfthonld bo set up and placed under 'thecontrol of trustees—either under the con-trol of tho Advances Board or of thePublic Trustee. When the money bu-gan to come in from the sale of thelands, that money—every copper of it-would bo reinvested in lands more suit-able for endowment purposes, probablyin land in tho neighbourhood of largocentres, where values; increased rapidly.
Mr. Witty i It will not bB kept as aliquid asset, so that it can be taken atany timer
Mr. Massey. No. It will bo put intoland.
Tho Prime Minister added that someof tho present endowment land was sopoor that it. would not bo taken up .bynettlcra as _ If endowment landwas in rural districts, it ought to 1mgood land. He believed in parting withthe poor land and in reinvesting themoney according to tha principle hehad indicated,
The issue before- thi House, argued Mr.I.', Eraser (Wellington Central) wa«clwrly whether endowment land shouldbe parted with or not. Ho was opposedto tho clausn as a whole, and ho woulddivide Die Honso upon it.
Tho clause was carried by 37 votes to20Tho division list was at 'follows:—Aves (37): Anderson, Bitchenor, Bol-hml, Brown, Burnettt, Coatos, IVild,

J u regar* ,to tho lessees of small graz-ing runs, about whose grievances therehad been a good deal of discussion ontho previous night, the Prime Ministerpail there was a clause still to como■loivn—not that night—which would meetwith the approval of the peoplu inter-ested.
teases In Perpetuity,
Tho clause reviving tho right to pur-chase settlement land held under leasein perpetuity was strenuously objectedto by Mr. it M'Callum (Wnirati). Thememlicr said that millions bad been ex-pended by tho Stato upon thu purchasenf the land in question, and now theCoverninent proposed to part with itiir'iiiu on terms that wore unfair to thefountry. Ho moved to innlude in theclause the following proviso :—"That therji'lit of purchase shall bo exercised onlyIn" a tenant who has served as n memberof tho Now Zealand Expeditionary Forceunless the lands aro bush or swamplands, or, if town or village lands, Ul'.nm ilv to tho extent.of two acres"
•Vpnari'iitly, said tho Hon. G. J. Ander-son (Minister of Internal Affairs) themember for Wairau would not object to
tlio sale it was mado on tlio basisof present-day values But what interesthad the State in .1 099 years' lease, ex-cept what it originally gave- for thokind?
Mr. K W. Smith (Waimarino) thoughtthe Government wise in ridding itself ofa contract, that involved the country ina loss. The holders of the -leasos hadthe kind at i pbr cent., and the tlovoni-nient was to-day borrowing monoy at 5Jpe. cent.
Mr. M'Callurn'a amendment was lo«lby 3G. votes to 12.The clause also wont to a division, anuvas retained. by 39 votes to. 11.
About Aggregation,Clause 31 of. tho Bill, dealing with
investigations in referenco to the a«-quisition. of land in contravention of thelaw, was the subject of 6omo discussion
Mr. C, 13. Statham pointed'out t thaiwhile, the clause provided that, a witnessdeemed .bv the Commissioner to havo an-swered fully and faithfully all questionsput to him, should be entitled to n cer-tificate of indemnity, thcro was no pro-vision that a witness should bo assure,

A deputation subsequently waited uponthe Minister of Agriculture.
LETTER TO THEEDITOR
BUTTER PRICESSir—The butter ration in England is
now one ounce per week. The averageconsumption per head in New Zealand i»eight times that quantity. An increasein- the price of Gd. per lb. will, therefore,cost the single man only about anotherhalfpenny a day. To meet this increasedcost ho'is demanding another 2s. (id. perweek. Is that profiteering? Three-pence per week would not buy anotherpint of beer for pa, nor another pictureshow ticket for ma. Judge Komi re-cently stated, after an exhaustive inquiryin one of the best dairying' districts inAustralia, that they had indisputableevidence from the factory returns matthe dairymen wero only earning about7d\ per hour. Is that sweating?—l am,etc.,
LlYli AND LET LIVE.Sir,—The grocer before the war was
content to liand a pound of butter overthe counter for a prolit of ljtl. Now
he asks for tad. for the same service. Hesays ho can't handle an article that hasells within a week for 8 per cent, profit.Bight per cent, per week is a tidy rateof interest par annum, to say notnlng oJthe purchasers attracted who buy goodsthat carry move than the average"rateof proiit. Few dairy lanuers can earn8 per cent. on their capital. An expert,who is intimately and practically ac-quainted with the average dairy farmersreturns, recently stated: "If tiie farmercharges interest he doesn't earn wages,and "if he charges wages he doesu t getinterest." If it is necessary to supplyhighly-paid people with butter below iUtrue value, should not tho distributors■'do their#bit"r Should all the loss bethrown on tho struggling returned sol-diers? Board of Trade please copy.—l
I 31" MIB PLAY.Sir,-Great stress has been kid' by the
labour section of this Dominiou on thohigh cost of dairy products, and _ theGovernment have been asked to subsidisetho .consumors to the extent of .£600,000,which money is proposed to come out ofthe Consolidated Fund. Where doesthat reserve come from other than outof the struggling producer's pocket? Per-mit me to make a suggestion as to tho
■best way to got the JcM,<W. Raise anextra tux on beer of 2d. per pint. Isay 2d. per pint so that an extra pennycan be charge for those drinking smallerglasses than pint, thus the retailer wouldnut make tho extra money on smallerglasses. <Jt would necessitate, the retail-ers keeping- their tills well supplied withpennies, but they would soon get accus-tomed to that. The best point in favourof this suggestion is that only thosewho choose need wayltiio tax. A greatmajority of the men Who are squealing,only want higher wages and cheaper sup-plies to enable them to buy more beer.If consumers are to be subsidised forevery little thing, the producers will cer-tainly have to bo treated likewise withpractically everything that is necessaryfor producing, all of which havo goneup from 100 to 250 per cent, only throughthe unreasonable wage asked by tho eo-ealled workers.
|Whv does a cow farmer work such longhours? "Oh, he's a. fool,"are thewordsnearest tho lips of the Labourite. It isjus l; about time tho Labour Party wasmade to realise that tho farmer workssuch long hours to keep him in his fatjob on the wharf or wherever it may bo.Without, farmer.) what a prosperouscountry this would bo.—l ami etc.,

PROPOSED GARDENERS' UNIONSir,—l doubt very much if there; is
one thoroughly practical gardener wish-ing for the proposed Gardeners' Union,mid when we do we will appoint- our ownofficers to manage it, not linkers andTin ties Hall party.

A NEW INDUSTRY
MANUFACTURE OF RUBBER PRODUCTSATMIRAMAR
t STRIKING SERIES OF DEMONSTRA-TIONS,
PEVULCANISATION OF RTJBBEE ANACCOMPLISHED FACT.(Published By Arrangement.)
Every year over .£1.000,000 worth ofrubber good 3 is imported into the Do-minion, which is entirely dependent onoverseas supplies of this commodity. NewZealand mil, however, shortly be in aposition to produce the whole of its re-quirements in the. 6hape of articles olrubber manufacture, Yesterday saw thedawn of a-new era in this respect, whenpractical demonstrations of' the manu-facture of rubber products were givenlit Miramar under the auspices of th«New Zealand Rubber Products, Ltd. Inthe presence of a representative gather-ing of heads of various Government Departments and business men of tho cityan interesting series of demonstrationswas carried out at the company's com-modious factory adjacent to the tramterminus, Miramar, all of which provoriconclusively that by dint of their, secretprocess the company can devulcaniso (or,'revivify") rubber, and successfully
blend it with plantation rubber. De-' Juonstratlons were also given of the in-
duction of a marketable rubber comnosition. Those present at the demonstra-tions included Mr. Aston, of the nnnlv.tical bTanch of the Agricultural Depart-ment; Mr. Newnhnm, representing thePublic Works. Department: Mr. G. *
Troup, representing .the Hallways De-partment; aricl Messrs.'W. B. Montgom-ery, William Campbell.- H. Wardflll. W.J. Ross, R. M. Griffiths, and the fol-lowing members of tho directorate <>ithe company: Messrs. ,7. Baxter (chair-man). T. Gray. W. H. Bnlliuger. R. F.Stepfiens, Thomas Wagg (Mastorton). E.
'A Craig (Auckland), and tho secretary,Mr. H. C. Stoddart.
In welcoming tho visitors, Mr. BaxteiRaid that the industry wa9 the first oiJfs kind in New Zealand, and when es-tablished proporly it should result in abig saving to tfie 'Dominion. In thisconnection approximately ,£1,000,000 was■Wasted each year in New Zealand atthe present time in the shape of dis-carded rubber goods (motor tyres' andtho like), for which there was no use,all of which "wa6te" the company wonld■ultimately bo in a r-osition to turn togood account. Mr. Baxter went on tospeak of tho benefit the company wouldbe to the country onco if was property
' established, and also of the possibilityof file extension' .of its manufacturingoperations. It aimed at securing thebulk of the trade in rubber within theiJominion. The visitors would be shownthat day the commercial davulcanisAtionof rubber. They would also see the flu-monslrators take an old motor„tyre, striplt'ol'iis rufibcr and fibre canvas, andthen mate what was claimed to be .tnefinest rubber dough in tho -world by
'mixing this waste rubber . wit!) new(plantation) rubber and certain chemi-cals. "You will 6ce also," he - added,"how all classes of high-class rubbergoods are manufactured. We claim thatour' rußber- products will bo .equal toany manuiactnre'd in' any part' of theworld." Mr. Baxter went on to pointout that the main object of the demon-strations was to give ihe "lie direct" toallegations that shareholders were be-ing hoodwinked. The chairman nexttouched on the company's latest processfor the mixing of canvas and cotton fab-Tics with rubber dough, out of whichthe finest of linoleums, boot-soleing andother rubber composition materials wei«manufactured on the premises.
The party were then shown' over theplant by the officials of the company,and numerous practical demonstrationswere given on the lines indicated bythe chairman of directors. The company,it was explained, has acquired the NewZealand rights of certain processes andformulae along with a patent for mix-ing vegetable fibre with rubber. Theprocesses were demonstrated by the smallarmy of -.worknion; retained by. the com-
"pa'ny, and the visiters were' also afford-ed an opportunity of witnessing themanufacture of first-class rubber doughat a proved coat of lljd. per lb. Thecompany has a big plant, and the wholeof this was seen 'in operation, turningout .ill manner of -rubber goods, fromboot heels to floor coverings. A quantityof this special composition was shownfirst in the making, and next being con-verted into linoleums, boot-soleing ma-terial, bag-making material (to take theplace of leather), floor and roofing tiles.In fact, "everything that Tubber touches''•will come within the scope of the com-pany's operations. It was explained thatthe company did not fill the, pure planta-tion rubber with anything else but. asoft, placid devulcanised rubber of itsown special manufacture. ,The productturned out was in consequence 00 pelcent, pure rubber, consisting of Tawplant rubber and a proportion of "re-1vivified" rubber. From that dough the
. company was turning out all qualities oirubber,' including motor tyres and tubes.Independent of "revivifying" rubber., theplant is also capable of making pure rub-ber at a price, it is claimed, consider-ably below tho cost of production in any
• other country. The nature and propor-tion of the materials U6ed in the manu-facture of the various products were dis-closed to various Government officialswho have certified as to the cost oimanufacture being correctly stated. Inthis connection household linoleum hasbeen manufactured by the company a)a cost of lapproxiVnatflly 2s. Gdl.i pot
. square yard—a very low figure. Apartfrom'its durability the merit of tho rub-ber composition turned out at the com-pany's works lies in its flexibility cou-
''
pled with the fact that it will not crack,no matter how it is rolled, twisted, oi
■ bent. The company already has in handplans for big extensions of its works,
. and much valuable machinery (additionalto that already installed) is on order.During the day the visitors were theguests of the company at luncheon, inthe course of which the directors wereaccorded s rote of thanks on the motionof Mr. H. Wardell. Before the visitorsleft a certificate was largely signed tes-tifying to the bnna-fide nature 'of thedemonstrations. On Tuesday, next, mem-bers of-Parliament will be shown overthe works by the directors and treatedto another series of demonstrations.

THE TURFWELLINGTON RACES
TO-DAY'S MEETING AT TRENTHAM.1 Bl GiENCOE.
The Spring Meeting of the WellingtonRacing Club, which opens at 'lreivtham .to-day, is expected to be a record fixturefor this time of the year. lhe hueweather of late has left the course and ilawns in perfect order, and visitors to lTrentham will bo delighted with .the Isurroundings, and also with the variousimprovements which have been carried ,out since the July gathering. •
In order to cope with tho expected in-
crease in the number of passengers by ;rail, more trains have- been put on. the ispecials will run from Lambton stationevery few minutes after 9.4.0 a.m., and .patrons are advistd to travel early.
llncing will commence at noon witiithe Taita Handicap, a four-furlongsevent for two-year-olds. There is a verybig field, engaged, and though there areno winners in the list, therq are severalplace-getters, including Prince Ferouz,Tommy Rot, Mountain Peer, Humboldtand' Dissertation, whilo Martial. Dawnhas done a bit of racing, and is wellseasoned. The favourite may be PrinceFerouz, a good-looking colt by the im-ported Feramorz. He is a nice mover,and will have Gray onhis,back. TommyRot is a verv quick beginner, but he is
backward, and may not quite run it out.Dissertation is a smart beginner, andfinished very close to Fulsome in theHastings Stakes. • The powerful Choke-bore stables is represented by WinningHit. who has not had a race yot, butgallop? well in private.
Trespass, who has not been producedsince he vanquished Amytlms at Wanga-nui will have a large following in theWainui Handicap, one mile. He hasbeen working very freely at Trentham,but the weight may find linn out. Vaga-bond is coining back to form, and so .isMaioha. who Tan a creditable race inthe Flying Handicap at Hastings.Daintv Step was never so well as now,but Demand may do better after arace.
_
• '~The Rimutaka Handicap, one mile,
will give the apprentices an opportunityof showing their skill. B?n Bolt, may•be first choice with the public, but Isobelwill also have a good following. Ngata
'shaped well at Masterton, but a 71b.penalty will iput him near the top otthe handicap. A likely one with noweight ,to carry is Ohn, who was no-ticed well up in the front rank at llas-
Tho'Wellington Racing Club Handi-cap, one mile and three furlongs, is
likely to be a fast-run race and thepaco may find out some of the topweights. ' Amythas, with 10st. Sib, canhardly be expected to beat the hunterweights, and the same remark applies toKaro. 9st. 81b., who is without a race,
and Kilrush. 9=t. 41b., who has now gota good horse's weight, but who, neverthe-less, is well' fancied in certain quarters.Glencaiiny may be the favourite. Hehas won four races on end, and publicform is what weighs with the public.A leading horseman was very anxious toget tho ride on the son of. Pistol, but O.Reed, who has ridden him in all hisraces, will again have the mount to-day. Red Ribbon may not be ready,though/her trainer fancies her, but Ora-tress should show, up if she is to lustilyher inclusion in the New Zealand Cupfield, for which' she is one of the short-priced division. Demagogue may betroubled by the distance. Of the others,nothing reads better than Gasbag andKitaror. The first-named has done-splendid work since arriving here, andMasterton form points strongly to Jtu-gour, who was never hitting out so free-lyas at the airesent time. Gasbag has had
'three races, so the distance should nottrouble him. A win for either oi thelast-named' pair would put them well in
the market for the New Zealand Cup,in which, with their penalty, they wouldstill have a nice racing weight.
The Wellesley Stakes next comes up
for decision. ' Though there v a bigfield-in the race the choice of backersmay be : narrowed down to three of therunners, viz., Rational, Toa Taua., andJl'ermin. Supporters of the last-namedwere very confident in the middle otthe week.' and the owner of the colt wasespecially optimistic, but it was notice-able that Mr. W. G. Stead displayedquite a lot of interest m Rational onThursday morning, and.he was presentwhen tile Wanganut and Masterton win-ner ran half a mile in. Msec., with hisrider pulling on him over the last ifwofurlongs. Toa Taua » a big longstrider that will be suited by thostraight course. .
There are fifteen acceptors in theFirst Hurdles. Kohu is a good per-former, but he has a, .very big. weightsand one miitake in his leppnig willprove costly. Ladogeur ran a sterlingrace in tho National Hurdles, and Bomb-proof, Retard, and Orane have all gotchances. , .
~
There are twenty-four acceptors m theOctober Handicap, six furlongs. Thisevent is verv open. Good beginners hKOStrategy, Canyon, and Forty Winks haveall got'chance's, and so has Martian Miss,who -was noticed finishing very fast atOpaki. The card will conclude withthe Shorts Handicap, six furlongs. Thebest sprinters in the Dominion are en-gaged in this event,' and favouritismmav rest between Arrowsmith and Tigri-tiya. Surveyor and. Early Dawn areboth expected to run well.

:is fixed by tho stockyards, and includesthe services .rotulered in feeding. The
■ amount of tho charges made or to bemade for the other items of services ormaterials furnished, is also fixed by the.stockyards or those who are in controlof. tho yards . Tn connection with each!stockyard,'there is a need'for certain■ facilities and conveniences for the bene-fit of either the, shipper or the buyerof -the- live slock. The stockyard, "byreason of its dominating position, con-trols these conveniences and facilities.In furtherance of. the tendency to. cen-tralis the market, it became of ad-vantage to establish slaughter-housesand' packing' plants either within or ad-jacent to tho stockyards. .Tile stockyardcompanies generally own or control nliiho nvail.ibio land ivithin the yards, antat most of tho important yards the lainsurrounding thb yards is owned by com-panies Icontrolled by tlie stockyardscompany or its principal stockholders.In fact,' new companies as a rule cansccuro desirabk packing sites only, fromthe stockyard companies, or from theseland development companies. The own-ers of stockyards companies are, there-fore, in a--position to determine whatpacking companies, and how manyplants, shall b» established at the yards.
"The cattle Ti'jtser is in many instancesdepnndpnl: upon" bunks or loan companiesto finance him In the rearing of his livestock and until such time as the stockshall have-been sold. ,In the natureof their business, it is a great, advantageIto these banks to locate in or near stcek-

METHODS PURSUED."The parent companies and their con-
trolling heads, appreciating the advan-tages whiclrwere to be gained by con-trolling the stockyards and tho facili-ties pertaining thereto, the stockyardterminal railways nnd market' papers
and journals, and realising that the usoof sucli instrumentalities might thus en-able, them to obtain a primary profit,not only. out of the sale of livo stockpurchased and slaughtered by them, butalso on.that purchased and slaughteredbv their competitors, and realising thoopportunities thereby to repress and dis-courage (he .development of independentpackers and slaughterhouses, aud to con-trol, the shipments of meats to the vari-ous markets, set about tho acquisitionof the various stockyards and the ap-purtenances and . privileges incidentalthereto. -This in. many instances was
■dono by ; a concert, of action, and pursu-ant to a common understanding. Inmost instances the acquisition of controlof the aforesaid stockyards by any oneor more of the .parent companies wasacquiesced in by the othors, and in allInstances" the ownership or control ofatoekvards by other packers, or by any:one', in fact.,'otlier than Hie parent com-panies or one of their members or theircontrolling heads, was discouraged andopposed.
"In pursuance of a common purpose,plan, and design, outside investors andindependent packers have gradually kenforced, out as dominating factors both intho ownership and management of mostof the important stockyards, n.iul hawbeen replaced by the paront companiesor their, representatives. . This aoquisi-,
tion has been accomplished; by variousmethods. In tho earlier years, by ex-acting slock donations under threats ofnioviug away their packing plants; later,by cash subscriptions to stock, generallybciow par, and in other instances byvoluntary reorganisation of stockyardcommunes in order that the paront'com-panies and their controlling iieads mighligain a controlling or dominating powerin tho yards, and thus be induced tocontinue, to. maintain their packingplants.threat. By these various meansthe.parent companies, direotly'or'indi-rectly, .through their controlling heads,hnvo been enabled to obtain control ofsubstantially' all of tho large stockyardsof ihe country. They now have, eitheriointly or separately, a controlling inter-est in twenty-two of the fifty marketstockyards in the United- States. Thestockyards bo controlled by them, andtho percentage of stock severally orjointly controlled in each'company, areas follow. (Here follows a long list.)
CONTROL AND PROFITS."Tho parent companies have availed
themselves of the control so acquired bythem in the stockyards aforesaid to electthe officers and directors of said stock-yards, and to.-dominate and control thopolicies thereof. They have grnnted ex-clusive privileges, such as the right to-purchase dead animnls, the right to fur-nish supplies and facilities, and Hie 10--cation of cattle banks ami cattlo loancompanies, to concerns and corporationsin which they, or some of them, or in-dividuals who are stockholder's in saidparent companies hold the controllingstock, nil of -which has been done withthe intent and purpose, and has had theeffect of discouraging and suppressingthe establishment of independent packingestablishments' ■ and' dwarfing the growthof such independent packing companies,which. mjgut then bo in existence, toenahlo said parent compnnies, their subrsidiaries or tbe individuals who ownand, control tho parent. companies ' and]their subsidiaries to obtain vast profitsfrom the' management of the stockyard
and the granting of 1 the iprivilegcs ap-;purteiiant thereto, which profits are real-,ised. not only upon the live stock pur-chased by the packer's, but upon thatpurchased by their competitors, andhave thus enabled them to enjoy, andrealise such- profits without the same,appearing or being disclosed in the. pro-fits, of the parent companies; and other-wise to further the attempt of saidparent companies to monopolise thomeat industry of tho country andartificially control the ultimate pricowhich the consumer pays, for meat andmeat' products.
"To cure these evils, tho decree aboutto be rendered perpetually enjoins allof the defendants, and each of'; themeither as corporations or as individuals,from owning any capital stock or otherinterest, either directly,or indirectly innny public stockyard market, stockyardterminal railway, or nurrkct paper 01journal; and further provides that with-in ninety, days such of the defendants ashave interest in public stockyard markets, stockyard terminal railways, ormarket papers or journals-'shall file inthe Court. where the decree is enteredfor the Court's approval a plan' for di-vesting themselves'of such interest. It
is to be hoped that these stockyard com-panies will be acquired under the Court'sorder by -.either the producers of livestock or'by the public at large who canimpartially administer them. TJnder ailimpartial-administration, most of theevils 'complained of' in the live stockbusiness can be cured.
"The decree further. provides for aninjunction' forbidding all 'unfair prac-tices or combinations in. reference to thecontrol of meat or its prices, and nndeithis clause any of the defendants vio-lating this injunction can be summarilypunished by the.Court. Therefore, suchevils in the meat businos9 as are :iot cor-rected by the public ownership of/thestockyards, stockyard 'railways'and stock-yard newspapers, can be Tcndily corrected,under the supervision of the Court.

"That if meat prices advanced out ofproportion to those of other substitutefoods, the consuming public manifesteda tendency to turn to such rotstitutes.To prevent this it is charged that tliedefendants sought by contro ling the na-tion's supply of fish,or canned fruits,-cereals, milkr poultry,eggs, cheese, and other substitute lood*oX'arily -handled by wholesalejroce .

j-IROWTH OF THE BIG PACKERS,
"In tho fifteen years from 190-i to 1919,Swift "and Company, Armour and Com-pany, Wilson and Company (Inc.). andthe feudally. Packing .Company, accordm.*to their, financial reports,, grew .irqin. anet worth of approximately 92,000.000 dol-lars to a net worth of "approximately479,000,000 dollars, but in this camePeriod .'they paid' in cash dividends105,000,000 dollars. ' Only 89,000,000 dol-lars of their increased worth was repre-sented in capital. Though always asert-ing ft very low rate of profit, on sales,tho five parent companies have grown so
rapidly/that their combined net profit for1919 has equalled nearly the amount ottheir total sales in 1901. The sales'themselvesin' fifteen years have increase;!until, for tho fiscal year 1918. they reach-ed tho vast sum of 3,200,000,000 dollars.This was realised from meats, substitute,foods, and unrelated lines, as herein-
above set forth.' In statins' these figures,account has been taken only, of profitsand sales ta the parent companies, findsubsidiaries included by t)i*m uooniMtir'imoks. So account has Iwen takenof the many corporations whicharo owned or controlled l>v tho samefamily or financial interests as own <rcontrol the parent companies.
"In addition to these profits, thornhave-, been other vast profits,, difficult orascertainment, realised by tho individual!-:by virtue-of .either their personal con-trol, of other', packing houses and slaugh-tering' companies or their interests instockyard's, terminal railroads, renderingcompanies, cattle loan institutions, anilbanks, and other eoryoratiouK. all ofwhioh corporations have their inceptionand depend for their prosperity uponadvantages or privileges growing out ; ofthe interlocking control of the stock-yards'.and stockyard appurtenancem
"The parent ccy.ipanies. or the in-dividual defendants, and their familiesmaintain and control 571 corporations orconcerns, including 131 trade namesThey have a significant-minority stock in-terest in 95 others, and an interest ofunknown extont in on additional 93.Thus the total number of concerns inwhich they have control or interest is
some 702. Practically all of tlieso com-panies, however, come under the juris-diction of tho court Ih'rougii the miming.'of the above-mentioned defendants
"Jn the years that have passed, thoparent companies have acquired 01'orgai-ised many other concerns and havemaintained them so long as they wereuseful for their purposes. When no
longer useful, these concerns so acquiredor organised lutvo been dissolved midtheir businesses have been merged intothat of the parent'companies or into thatof other subsidiaries. Such dissolvedcorporations and concerns are omitted inthe above compilation, except in such in-stance as the name has been continuedas a trade name. The total of 702, abovestated, therefore falls far short of repre-senting the number of concerns that cor-
i pornto and. individual, defendants Jiavoacquired or have • organised in further-ance of their general scheino and planof action already explained. It wouldbe an enormous undertaking; to deter-mine the decree of control exercised bytfie defendants in all of these various in-terests. Enough has been ascertained toindicate that the zrowlh has bean rapidand that if permitted to continue un-checked in a matter of a few years thecontrol would ho- complete.
"In I.IIG tho business of Armourand Company jn canned fish,vegetables, and sundries, cannedan<i. dried-, _ fruits, fruit preserves,arid grape juice amounted to 0.396,036.73dpllars' In 1918, two years later, thesame company's volume of business inthese sauio items was 39.520.000 dollars,over sixfold increase. . While part ofthis increase of business may be attri-buted fo the increase of population, andthe consequent increase of consumption,the greater part thereof was acquired atthe expense Of competitors
"Of.the corporations which have beenaeouired by the. parent companies in re-cont years, the large number are con-cerns manufacturing or soiling these sub-stitute foods or unrelated commodities.This fact, together with the increasodactivities of the parent organisationsthemselves in these, lines, indicated awell-defined purpose oil their part tosecure control of the market for mc.it6ul>s(itnl»> foods.
"In addition, to the companies in which,conirol has been acquired by outrightpurchase,'the parent companies have ina large number of instances contractedfo; 1 the exclusive output of many othercompanies engaged, in the production ofthe substitute foods and the unrelatedcommodities. The outputs of these plantsare marketed by the parent companies,or by their subsidiaries,.through.the dis-tribution facilities of the. parent com-panies. In this fashion, tho parent com-panies control the output, of these eon-cerns and the market price of their pro-ducts as completely as ihough'.they them-selves owned tho producing companies.' "Tho principal agent in stifling com-
petition in the unrelated lines was, Mhas baen stated, the fact that (he dis-tributing system of the great packerswas an efficient and cheap way of linnd-ling not posesssed by their competitors.
. OUTSIDE LINES BARRED. '
"For the cure and prevention of theseeuls, this decree will provide an injunc-tion perpetually enjoining and restrain-ing the corporation defendants, and eachof them, their successors and assigns,from owing any. capital stock or otherinterest.in any corporation which is illtho business in (ho United States ofmanufacturing, jobbing, selling, trans-porting, distributing, or otherwiso deal-ing in fresh, canned, or salted iish;fri-sli, dried, or canned vegetables; fresh,dried, or evaporated fruits, . colil'eotton-erv, coffee, lea, cereals, etc.'.'''And, further, perpetually enjoining
and restraining said corporation de-fendants from engaging in or carrying nit
tho •manufacturing, Jobbing, sellittg,transporting, or otherwise dealing in'allyof these articles, with the exception ofgrain and cereals and a few articles moroor less necessary in the conduct of theirbusiness. The exception of allowingsomo of the corporations to continuo thebusiness in cereals was considered neces-sary because some of them had 'been, inbusiness since prior to tho timo theyeii"aged in the meat business, and theprevention of their 'use of the distribtit-iii" system minimises the evil of thoircontinuing in Hie cereal business. Butin general, the decree eliminates all thedefendant corporations from all unrelatedlines or products not containing meal.
"The decree further enjoins tho Indi-vidual defendants from individually orjointly owning fifty per coat, or moroof the voting slock in any corporationoiKwed in the business of manufactur-ing jobbing, selling, transporting, dis-tributing, or otherwiso dealing in anyof the unrelated commodities j or fromadopting any dovice or arrangementwhicli; by reason'-of-■.-their relation to

defendants under a perpetual injunctionand the danger of punishment for con-tempt for failure to obey the same, fromengaging in any illegal trade practicesof any nature in relation to the conductof any business'in whioh they or any ofthem may be engaged. . ■~.,.

The power-house load hasbeen increased during tho rear to sucha.i extent that at the end'of the vea'rit was carrying an overload of 1400horse-power, or 17 per cent Tho revenue-'for the year was 215,891, and the ex-penses were as follow:—

-512,24GThe result of the year's operations isthus a net profit of i:3555 towards thereduction of the deficit on tho fonr pre-vious years of working. This result isvery satisfactory.
From other points of viow the resultsbnvo been even more rotisfactorv. Thooutput for tho year from, the'power-house was over 33,000,000 units. To' hnvngenerated this in a 'lnrgo economicalBteitm plant using the class of coalnor available would lave taken 15,000lons of fuel, worth from .£IOO,OOO to
■.£120,000. But. the steam plants that havenoil ally been replaced by Lake Cole-ridge power were by no means as effi-cient <is is assumed above, and in prac-tical running Ihoy actually consumed upto three or four times the abovo amountof coal, or i(s value in oil, kerosene, andpetrol.

'1 ho main Government Bcheme proposedfor each Island consists of a completehigh-tension transmission-system con-necting all tho main points_ ot'_ supplyof the Electric-power Board .districts andof tho local electric-power authorities.These transmission-systems will bo' fedfrom three or four large hydro-electric-power sources in each case, and will alsobe connected up with tho chief existinglocal sources of supply, including boththe hydro-electric and steam powerplants already in operation.. Hence theurgent necessity of standardising tho sys-tem of electrical distribution throughouttho Dominion
Tho main sources of supply selectedfor the North Island are: Mangahao(24,000 h.p), Arapuni (96,000 h.p., cup-ablo of extension to 102,000 h.p.), andWaik-aromoaha (40,000 h.p., capable ofextension to 186,000 h.p,). In addition,supplementary supplies will be obtainedfrom' Homhora power-house (#IOO h.p.),Wairau Falls (2800 hp.), Now PlymouthtBorough (ultimately 8000 h.p), and astandby service from tho iarge stoumplants at Auckland (ultimately 20,000h.p.), and Wellington (12,000 h.p.). Theconstruction of 'Mangahao is now wellin hand. The investigation of tho Ara-puni dam sito is practically completed,and work will be commenced at Waikare-moana forthwith. For tho main trans-mission-lines the specifications for thenintenals have been drawn up and thodelivuy of the poles' has commenced.Provided- that no undue delay occurs inthe delivery of plant from abroad, andcoil for driving tho construction plantis obtainable, and cement, tho supplyfrom, Mangahao can be made ovailoblowithin three..years.
Tho construction plant at Waikaremo-ana (1000 horse-power) has been' designedto form part of the permanent installa-tion and to bo large enough to . give alocal supply in the meanwhile to Wai-roa County and Borough. This con-struction plant should be m operationwithin two years, and the main supplyfrom Waiknremoana within two yearnthereafter. TJlo reliability of thedations of the Arapuni dam. has now beenfully investigated, and in view of thoImportance of the work it is proposed torefe- tho whole of tho data collected to.a committee of engineers for a final de-cision „ ~ , T ~

ECONOMY IN CLOTHES
HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.Many people thought tliflf after the
war the high cost of clothing would re-cede, that in tho desire- to forget thovicissitudes through which the Empirehas paused in the last six years, Labourtroubles, demands for higher wages, andprofiteering would becomo but dim mem-ories of the past. But, what,do we find?Oji every hand, through one cause andanother, the cost of necessaries coutlnuesto iump, And tho price of clothing, suro-h an important necessity, seems to havetho uncanny propensity to leap higherthan anything else, and out of all pro-portion, to the earning.power of ordinarypec-plo Wo must have clothes, but if wecannot afford to pay fancy prices forour garmonte, what are we to do aboutit? There can bo only one answer tothis question, and that is: "Economise."
To people who have clothes that showrieible signs of having seeli better daa-sthe injunction to economise may appearto be a trille incongruous, but, althoughthey may not know it, (hero is a firmin Wellington that has forone of its primo objects tliorenovation by an extraordinaryefficacious process of old, dirty, •and stained clothes, whether they bomen's or women's, and that firm is innVictoria Laundry Company, Ltd., 88Hanson Street, Wellington (telephones11$ and 613). To do this the firm lim :
erected ft special brick building, entirelyseparato from the laundering part of thebusiness, and hero the work of dry-clean-in" is carried out. In consideringwhether they should send their clothesalong to tho Victoria Company to be re-furbished, people.,should disiwiate fromtheir minds any suggestion that meclothes pass through tho laundry, forthey do not. Dry-cleaning is simply oneof the BTanchcs of the business that thecompany has. with commendable enter-prise, decided to specialise in, and al-hou<rh they cater for nil classes of the
community, it is iho people of moderatew who should afford, th» firm everypossible support, for tt is <m behalf ofhose who cannot afford to buy nertofhes that the company is fulfilling aSeeded ie ?utremeflMl»e cleaning
and pressing of old garments so thatthey appear ns if new. Of courseit should be understood hatclothes are not the only thingstint the dry-cleaning departmenthandles Who. a Dominion' reporter
Jected the, works the other■** allmanner of articles were under treatment,from suits arid costumes, down to «r----nets, gloves, hats, curtains, and tab e-
«vera. The Department is under thopersonal supervision of an expert, Jr.W Wills, who has had some 30 yearsevwrience in the dry-cleaning business.ThWSe should he a sufficient recom-mendation in the firms behalf.
_
After the goods arc received they <u»sorted into their different, colours, andthen the process of cleaning is under-
taken Tne various things ore plaoeain what is known ascylindrical macbino, which is filled witnSine from'a tank, sealed up,anthenrevolved at moderate speed for two houw.By being so thoroughly immersed thebenzine of the quantity ot which there is
no "tinting, the clothes, or whatewgoods are being washed have nerypnrticlcof dirt or grease that is in them
oosened, which is not possn-o-»«■ «*";nary dry-cleaning methods where thematerial is simply brushed over wim arag moistened with benzine. Aext. tliegoods aio passed through u benzine .ex-tractor, a machine which at first sightlooks something like a mail boiler, butwhich is perforated with boles aroundits sides, and which is also made.to re-volve at a high rate for some minutesThis revolving pr<*ess, .extracts all thebenzine from the materia, and the pe roruns back into a tank, beingbefore being used again, and thus tangmade purer, .if anything, than what Itwas original- m\,cm Z °ie
+Tiwonderful process of all. The materialis placed for twenty minutes in anotherlargo cylindrical machine called o, dustwheel; 'which is superheated by steamcoils, and which travels round at a mod-erate speed. As tho clothes-dry theinfinite particles of dust are extracted by
an agitating motion, and aro drawnthrough a- pipe for an ekctac-fan andissipated into the open air. Jly beingput through this machine everysusge'tion of tho smell 'of ben-isimT is withdrawn from-the articlesand they emerge' beautifully cleanand wholesome-looking, and with theappearance of being brand new. i\omatter how delicate the articles, theyare not subject to sbrinkago bv anyof the processes employed, and tnoquality i« in no way impaired Iromthe dry-cleaning department tho goodspass to the pressing department, wheresteam presses, olio of tho most modernof pressing systems, are used. Alter,
being treated here dexterously for someminutes the clothes, or other articlescome out looking spick and span, andthose who are privileged to wear or usethem have the supreme satisfactionthat, for the expenditure, of a few shil-lings, they'have been enabled tomany pounds.
... uHat renovating and blocking is anotherbranch of the work which is supervisedbr an expert of life-long experience.All manner of. dilapidated head-gear is
dealt with here, and before hey arereturned to the owners the hats arepractically re-made. They are handedas if they were new felt, they aie"proofed"' once again, and, where neces-sary, new leathers and bands are nt-fixod. It will thus be seen that whena hat becomes shabby it is; no; at Mrequisite and necessary for the personalvanity as well as for the appearance ofthe owner, 'that he should immediatelyrush to a hatter's and effect a new pur-c ase.

YOUTHS WANTED
FOR THE PUBLIC SERVICE
HOW THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED
Only six or seven years ago there verahundreds of youths making great effortseach year-end to qualify for entrance totho I'ublic Service, nnd though largenumbers used to got througli the qualify-ing stage, only a proportion could headmitted. How'the times have changed!As the result of tho war and other fac-tors, -tho demand for boy or youth la-bour is more- acute, now than it has everbeen in the history of 'the Dominion,arid instead of there a surplus nfapplicants for positions in the servicethere is a remarkable dearth. A specialeffort is tlieroforo being made by thePublic Service Commissioner to meet, theposition. '
The public must not run away withthe idea that anyone can do the workof n properly-trained Civil Servant. Suchis not the case.- It is n business, a pro-fession, tho intricacies of which can only
bo understood and appreciated by thoseIn the serri.ee or those having a greatdeal to do with it. Every Departmenthns its own work to do, and thero arefew positions of any trust at all thatcould bo filled in any one of them with-out special' training of some kind. Thusit is essential that there shall alwaysbe a well-equipped "source of supply"available for filling tho places of thosewho die, retire, or leave the service fornnv other reason. The last Juno examin-ations,' according to the Public ServiceCommissioner,, revealed such a falling-off in candidates for the Civil Servicethat it was decided that something hadto be dono to induce youths to enter theservice, and that something ha? beendone. The scheme,'in brief, invites hoyswho havo obtained n proficiency certifi-cate at a State school to take np thePublic Service as a caTeer. and to in-due* them to do 60 tho Commissionerhas devised a plan whereby such hoysmay work half their time in a Govern-ment office and for the other half ofthe working day they will be coached("free, gratis, and for nothing" at theexpense of the Government) to enablethem to nafs tho Public Service e'ltrn-i'--examination. Prom that point lads ofapplication and ambition mdy go on withtheir studies in order to matriculate,as a hoy can only climb so high and nohigher in the service without havingmatriculated. Tho Government, how-ever, only sees him through the PublicService entrance examination, and thenleaves it to the lad himself to decidewhether he cares to improve himselfI'vith o view to ultimate betterment) oroiherwfto.
The Commissioner informed a Domin-ion reporter yesterday that although thetraining or tutorial scheme would notbe initiated before January 10 next, theywero prepared to place iboys in the ?er-
vico at present, providing they had_ aproficiency certificate, ns it was essentialthat a lad should have the groundworkof a good primary education for themany demands that would bo mndo onhis services. Sfr. Robert Darroch, foreo long headmaster of the Eoseneiithand Hataitni schools, and who has donea great deal of tutorial work in connec-tion with the Civil Service -and police,has been selected to conduct the classesfor the boys who will take up the posi-tions being offered them. A start willbe made' with the classes early in Janu-ary in rooms which have been securedin Banks College, Wellington Terrace.In connection with the classes it is in-tended not only to coach the lads inthe manner explained, but they are to
be formed into a sort of club. Theywill have caps, with a special badge;there will be football and cricket teamsin connection with the classes, and theexercise grounds of Banks College willbe mndn available for physical instruc-tion. Thus, from every point of view,a fine opening is being offered boys whoare ready to take up the work—a won-derful change from the days when boyshad to battle to get into the serviceon any rating. For country lads spe-cial provision is' being mado for board-ing and lodging them through! Iheagencv of the Y.M.C.A.
Here is a letter thnt the Public Ser-vice Commissioner hns recrived from aperson in the country :—"Wo havo al-ways wished our boy to improve hiseducation, but living so far back in thecountry, there has been no oivnortnnitvfor him after leaving the primary school.Study is very difficult without a tutor.I think that tho offer is n splendidthing and opens a way for any lad whohas ambition and is willing to learnand work, especially the sons of work-ing parents, who cannot afford to s/«h1them to boarding- schools." Another let-ter commends the scheme, but (beingfrom North of Auckland) asks whetherthe boy in question could not be placedin Auckland or Whangnrci. The answerto that is in the negative, as tutors can-not be provided in every town, but afterpassing tho examination it may be pos-sible to.arrango transfers.

vegetables are wonderfully responsive, and
quickly Bhow their appreciation of goodtreatment. Seedlines that arc wellthrough the ground may have a littlesuperphosphate uprinkled about them.This will be hoed in, and the Jirst showerwill carry it to the roots.' It is a quick-acting manure, and gives the plants agood start.
Thinning out should be attended to assoon aB the seedlings are big enough tohandle. Give the rows, a gtood wateringas soon as this process is completed. Sootneed novcr be wasted. Sprinkled alongthe rows of Bce'dlings and hoed in, il. isa valuable fertiliser.

FOR INDIGESTION.GET DP. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS.People do not know that they have
stomach! until something goes wrongwith the physical machinery, and theprotesting organ causes pain and distress,sleepless nights and restless days. Thereis probably no more abused organ in thobody than the stomach, which is expect-ed to 'cake all kinds of food and drinkat all hours and accept the task with-out rebellion.
One of the causes of stomach troubleispoor blood. When tho appetite fails andfood sours on the dtomnch causing dis-tress, when the henrt flutters on theslightest exertion, it is generally proofthat the blood has lost its potency. Re-store the rich colour to the blood andincreoso its quantity, and you havotaken the first and most important steptoward increasing the efficiency of theentiro system.
To build up the blood there is one remedy that has been n household word fora generation, Dr.. Williams' Pink Pillsfor Pale People. Thoy ltone up tho en-tire syßtem, make tho blood, rich midred, strengthen the nerves, increase theappetito, put colour in tho cheeks andlips and drive away that unnatural tiredfeeling. Plenty of sunlight, good whole-some food and fresh air will do the rest.
Our booklet, "What to Eat and Howto Bat" will be sent free ito any addresson request. Dr. Williams' Pink Pillsare sold by your own chemist or store-keeper or will be sent, post paid, on re-ceipt of price, 3s. per box, bythe Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Box 845,G.P.0., Wellington.-Advt.
