ECONOMIC RECONSTRUCTION.

The conference! which was, com-menced at Hythe in the form of aconversation between Mr. LloydGetfrge and M. Millcrand, and is tobe continued at Spa, represents thebeginning of an attempt to bringsome semblance of order out of theeconomic chaos into which the warhas plunged Europe. This taskfalls into three parts, the fixingof the amount Germany canpay and the • manner of pay-ment, the liquidation of theinter-Allied war debts, and therestoration of the financial sta-bility of Europe. The first is themost urgent because to some extentit governs the others. < Under thetreaty is made the particular dutyof the Reparation Commission, andit involves a very careful stock-taking of Germany's financial and'economic resources. The addition ofthe Allies' bill has become a matterof secondary importance because,no matter how conservative it maybe, it is certain to bo more thanGermany can meet. The treatythrows upon Germany liability forthe*whole cost of the war, butexcuses her all categories exceptdamage sustained by the civilianpopulation, in which is includedseparation allowances and pensionscomputed on an arbitrarily lowscale. The modest hopes now enter-tained by the British and FrenchGovernments are well illustrated bythe decision to obtain an expertreport on the " minimum total forthe German debt which shall becapable of acceptance by the Alliesand at the same time compatiblewith Germany's capacity to pay."In other words the Allies despair oftheir claims even for reparation,separation allowances 'and pensions,and are about to fix a lump sum asGermany's liability, wiping off theremainder as a bad debt.

The amount obtainable by way ofreparation is a factor which must beweighed in considering the futurefinancial standing of the Allies.Unfortunately some of the Allies,France in particular, have basedtheir Budgets upon the expecta-tion of receiving very heavy indem-nities from Germany, and if these arenot forthcoming the consequenceswill be serious. Taxation in France

i is not' even yet meeting the esti-mated normal expenditure and littleattempt has been made to pay anypart of the cost of the war out ofrevenue. While taxation in Bri-tain was being increased by 280 percent, it rose by less than 15per cent,in France. Italian finance has beensomewhat more enterprising, but itis nevertheless true thai there is nobelligerent except America and Bri-tain which is raising sufficient re-venue to meet normal expenditure.Under , such circumstances theliquidation oi the inter-Allied debtis a problem of immense magnitude.Some economists" have not hesitatedto call it insoluble and to declarethat the only escape from financialchaos is to cancel the whole debt. Inany such arrangement Europe wouldlean heavily upon the generosity ofthe United States, as the followingtable shows :—

By By ByAmerica. Britain. France. Total.

Loans to £ £ £ £

Millions. Millions. Millions. Millions.Britain ... 842France

Total £1,900 1,740 355 3,995It will be observed that the UnitedStates is a lender only, Britain haslent about twice as much as she hasborrowed, France has borrowedabout three times as much as shehas lent, and the other Allies havebeen borrowers only. If the debtswere mutually cancelled Americawould surrender about £2,000,000,000and Britain about £900,000,000, whileFrance would gain about £700,000,000and Italy about £800,000,000. Inreality the sacrifices of the lenderswould be considerably less since theability of some of their debtors topay must be seriously questioned.The loans to Russia, advanced prin-cipally by Britain, France and toa very small extent by America, maybe considered irrecoverable. Prob-ably Britain would gain rather thanlose by the automatic extinction ofthese debts and the ContinentalAllies would benefit at the expenseof America. In view of the great in-crease in her wealth during the warperiod this is a sacrifice which theUnited States might reasonably beasked to take into consideration.

The thira and most comprehensivetask which now falls to the Allies isthe reinforcing of the economicfabric of Europe. It is one whichwill be immensely facilitated by thedetermination of Germany's liabilityand by even partial arrangementsfor extinguishing the Allies' inter-in-debtedness, but under any circum-stances it will prove one of great de-licacy and considerable duration.The accumulated wealth of Europehas been dissipated, the machineryof production destroyed, the meansof transport impaired and the indus-trial capacity of its people gravelydiminished. Its population, accord-ing to Mr. Hoover, is at least100.000,000 greater than can be sup-ported without imports and mustlive by the production and distribu-tion of exports. Yet this populationlacks the raw materials for its manu-factures and lacks the money to payfor imports. Russia, Austria andHungary are virtually bankrupt,the Italian State expenditureamounts to about three times therevenue, France cannot make endsmeet, and the Allies have beenforced to undertake the feeding andreplenishing of Germany. To startthe wheels of industry credit' isnecessary and expert opinion favoursan international loan out of which

the pressing ; need')..of all countriesmay be met. ' The difficulty is tofind the- sources of such a. loan. Bri-tain could provide a portion, theneutrals might help, but, the' greaterpart must come from 1America, andfor the moment America appears tohave lost interest in Europeanaffairs. This mood may be a passingone, but it is none the less re-grettable. Europe needs the econo-mic) assistance of America as greatlyas the Allies needed her militaryhelp in 1918. With this aid Europe

undoubtedly find her feet again;without it almost any disaster ispossible, and should disaster befallAmerica cannot long remain a dis-interested spectator of a world'sconvulsions.

AUSTRALIAN WOOL.

A remarkable scheme for tho mar-keting of Australian wool after theexpiry of the Imperial requisitionhas been propounded by Mr.Hughes, Prime Minister of the Com-monwealth. Ho has boen careful toinsist that his proposals have notbeen submitted to the Government,but that they are simply his ownideas for the assistance of the wool-growing industry. The announce-ment of this scheme followed imme-diately after a referendum of wool-growers upon a plan formulated bya conference of growers and brokersto prevent the depression of pricesby the sale of tho 1920-21 clip incompetition with tho Imperial Gov-ernment's stocks, which are esti-mated at considerably more than anaverage season's clip. The WoolCouncil, set up by this conference,proposed that a temporary controlof this " unprecedented accumula-tion " should be secured by an ar-rangement! with the Imperial Gov-ernment for marketing and shippingthe new clip simultaneously with thebalance of the requisitioned wool,and by the delivery to the councilof all wool produced ' during thecoming season to be sold in suchquantities as it could bo absorbed.It asked for a 75 per cent, vote asauthority for it to seek legislationcompelling all growers to enter intothe scheme. Only about half thogrowers returned valid votes, 18,480approving the scheme and 6200 re-jecting it, and as this represented"£4.88 per cent, on only a small poll,the wool council decided not to pro-ceed further. Mr. Hughes has, how-ever, elaborated this Scheme byseveral radical alterations, and hasassociated with it matters to which jthe wool industry did not give anyattention. He has a two-fold pur-pose—the maintenance of tho pre-sent abnormal prices for Australianwool and the liquidation of a Com-monwealth debt in,London by a sortof compulsory loan in Australia. Asthese proposals originate from thePrime Minister and not from a wool-grower, it may be presumed that Mr.Hughes regards them as of at least!equal importance. His plan to pre-vent the breaking of prices is aston-ishing. The Imperial Government isto continue selling until Septenber30, and then to withhold the wholeof its Australian wool from themarket until the " free " clip* hasbeen sold. It is not clear whetherMr. Hughes, intends that the salesduring the next four -months are tobe limited, or whether he would per-mit the Imperial Government to sellunlimited quantities for future de-livery. In any event, his intentionis to keep,priceß at an artificial levelby arbitrarily restricting the supply,and it is extremely doubtful whetherthe Imperial Government would jointhis combine, and still more doubtfulwhether the wool trade would com-placently pay famine prices for woolwhen it knew that after May 1 therewould be two million bales to bedumped into the market. Mr.Hughes' other point is that Aus-tralia will presently experienceAmerica's difficulty through thecreation of a huge balance of creditin London, and that unless some

"remedial measures are taken wool-growers will not easily secure pay-ment in Australia of their share inthe requisition profits or of the pro-ceeds from the new clip. In contrastwith the United States, the Austra-lian Government has an unfundeddebt of £40,000,000 due to the Im-perial Government, and Mr. Hughesproposes that this should bo paidoff with the wool profits, which heconveniently estimates at a similaramount, while the Australian Gov-ernment would issue bonds to wool-growers in payment of their sharesin the profits. This is, of course, athoroughly sound method of finance,provided that the wool-growers arewilling to accept the bonds. If theyare not, Mr. Hughes might achievehis object by issuing a loan of£•10,000,000 to the public of Australiaand pay the wool-growers in cashfrom the proceeds. However, on hisown figures, £40,000,000 is less thanone-fourth of the trade balance thatwill be accumulated by the end ofnext June, and it is not at all clearhow ho intends to secure thetransfer of this credit by sellingwool in Australia. The country doesnot want gold and cannot increaseits imports sufficiently to, re-dress the situation. Conse-quently, buyers who attend theAustralian sales will have topay a higher rate of exchange oncredits transferred to Melbourneand Sydney, and will offer corres-pondingly lower prices for wool.There would, however, be a materialadvantage to Australia in trans-ferring to British and other buyersthe responsibility of arranging thefinance and the shipping for thewool clips, and there is little doubtthat whatever steps may .bo takenotherwise, the restoration of woolsales in Australia will be one of theearliest results of the reopening ofthe free market. Mr. Hughes haslaid all the emphasis on the attrac-tive features of his Bcheme, but eventhe, woolgrowers have not beenwholly enthusiastic about it. Be-yond them he has to convince manyother interests—tho Imperial Gov-ernment, the wool trade, the generalpublic, and even the Central Euro-pean Powers—and as they are all re-quired to make sacrifices for thebenefit of Australian woolgrowerswithout any advantage to them-selves, their acquiescence cannot beanticipated with any confidence.

LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS.

The conference will be con-eluded on Friday. A programme of en-tertainment has been arranged for thevisitors. The annual meeting of theFarmers' Union Trading Company will behold on Tuesday morning.

It has been decided to defer the pick-ing of oysters, and supplies will not beavailable in Auckland until June 1. Thefollowing retail prices have been fixed:1 gallon in shell, Is 3d; 4 gallons in shell,

4s 6d.Under tho new scheme for generating

eloctricity on a large scale in Britain,said Sir Arnold Gridley yesterday, it isestimated that 55,000,000 tons of coalcan be Baved annually. Steam drivenplants consumo seven pounds of coal perhorse-power generated, but in the modernpowerhouse tho consumption has been re-duced to a pound and. a-half per horse-power.

The metropolitan committee in connec-

tion with tho visit of tho Prjnce of Wales,held its final meeting yesterday. Thecommittee placed on record " great appre-ciation of the exceedingly able manner inwhich the duties of chairman had beencarried out by tho Mayor of Auckland,Mr. J. H. Gunson, whoso excellent hand-ling of the arrangements had contributedin a great measure to the smoothness andand highly successful functioning of the-various receptions, which had reflectedgreaj, credit upon the City of Auckland,the metropolitan area, and himself."

A carter, Mr. W. Cole, aged 24, resid-ing at 4, Sussex Street, Grey Lynn, wasadmitted to the Auckland Hospital yester-day afternoon, suffering from severe in-

juries to his foot. He was standing be-side his lorry, which was backing into ashed on tho "Queen's Wharf, when one ofthe horses in the team took fright andstarted forward, causing tho wheel of thevehicle to pass over his foot.

The increase in wages promised by theCity Council to the tramway employeessome weeks ago was paid yesterday. Pay-ment was deferred pending approval bythe suburban local bodies interested ofthe higher scale of fares.

A deputation from the SuperannuatedPublic Servants' Association waited on theHon. C. J. Parr yesterday for the pur-pose of enlisting 'his sympathy in thematter of securing an increase in super-annuation, by means of a bonus. Mr. M.Guthrie, who acted as spokesman, 6aidthe Government had allowed bonuses tothe public servants now in its employ,and it was therefore only just and fairthat a similar advance should be madeto those who had performed years offaithful work. Mr. Parr said lie couldnot make any definite pronouncement atpresent. When the matter came beforeCabinet, however, he would give thomatter his sympathetic attention.

A fire occurred shortly after six o'clockyesterday morning in the engine-house atHancock and Co.'s Brewery, Khyber Pass.The Newmarket FiTe Brigade extinguishedthe outbreak before- much damage wasdone. It is thought that a spark from theerigine ignited the roof of tho engine-house.

At tho farewell dinner on board the Re-nown at Lyttelton last evening, the Mayorsof the four centres were to have been pre-sent by Royal Command, as the specialguests of tho Prince of Wales. Auckland,however, wag not represented, the Mayor,Mr. J. H. Gunson, having found it impos-sible to go South for two reasons. Onewas the state of his health due to his re-cent attack of influenza, and tho secondwas his inability to leave Auckland pend-ing the completion on Tuesday and Wed-nesday last of the various tramway mat-ters in hand.

The attitude of the Mount AlbertBorough Council in regard to the costof the proposed overhead railway bridge atKingsland was not correctly stated in thoreport of the interview with the Hon. C.•I. Parr. The Mayor, Mr. T. B. Clay,said that the council in consideration ofit agreeing to the closing of Onslow Roadand Edendalo Road to through vehiculartraffic, expected the Railway Departmentto erect the bridge and construct the ap-proaches, and also to form and rrfetal twonow roads connecting the bridge withClark Street and the eastern end of On-slow Road. Thfl council considered thatall this work should be carried out free ofcost to the council. If, however, theDepartment adopted the original alterna-tive proposal of erecting a bridge over thecrossing at Edendale Road, the councilwould be prepared to construct the ap-proaches, provided the work were put inhand immediately.

A vacancy in the Mount Albert BoroughCouncil has been caused by the resigna-tion of Mr. P. C. Ansell, who has ceasedto reside in the district. An election tofi:i the vacancy will be held, if necessary,on June 15. Mr. A. Rose is the only can-didate at present in the field.

The increasing nuisance of gorse grow-ing on public roads was discussed by theWaitemata County Council vesterdav.The engineer, in his report, stated thatthe system of giving notice to individualoffenders was not satisfactory, owing tothe council's reluctance to prosecute. Theissue of notices under the Public WorksAct was an expensive business, and hoagain suggested that the council recom-mend the Government to declare gorse.and hakea noxious weeds throughout thecounty. Mr. A. J. Hatfield opposed thesuggestion very strongly, and the chair-man ruled that the business must bo dealtwith by notice of motion,

" The pre-eminence of electricity asthe motive power in industry," said SirArnold Gridley yesterday, " was broughthome to British manufacturers during thewar." Just in the same way as steamwas the motive power during our warsof 50 and 60 years ago, and tho steamage was the genesis of Britain's enormousindustrial expansion, so now after thegreat war tho country was entering upontho electrical age. The manufacturers ofelectrical appliances in Great Britain havenever been so busy.

The damage done to properties atHenderson and Swanson by the recentflooding of the Opanuku and SwansonRivers was referred to in the engineer'sreport submitted to the WaitemataCounty Council yesterday. It was de-cided to enforce the Act and compeloccupiers of land adjoining the rivers tokeep the watercourses clear of willowsand other growth.

As indicating the rapid progress of theAuckland University College, the regis-trar, the Rev. A. B. Chappell, stated atthe deputation to the Minister yesterday,that in 1912, at the time of the late Mr.Hngben's report to the Government, it wasthird in the list of the four institutions inthe matter of numbers. It was nowsecond only to Otago, and the latter's su-premacy wag due entirely to its specialschools of medicine and dentistry. Auck-land was, in ordinary university studentnumbers, in the premier position. Lastyear there were 821 students, 27 of whomwere exempted from attendance by reasonof distance or kindred disability, and 794were in actual attendance. This year thetotal number was approximately 900. Withthe growth of the population of the cityand province there was a rapidly growingdemand for university education, and forexpenditure thereon.

THE PRINCE'S FAREWELL.MESSAGE TO DOMINION.

"A WONDERFUL WELCOME."

VISIT ALL TOO SHORT.

IMPRESSIONS OF COUNTRY.

MONUMENT OF CIVILISATION.[BY (TELEGRAPH.—PMS9 ASSOCIATION.]

CHRISTCHURCH. Friday.

The following farewoll message to thepeople of New Zealand was handed tothe Prime Minister on board H.M.S.Renown this evening by His Royal High-ness the Prince of Wales

"To the Government and people ofNow Zealand,—"My delightful visit to New Zealand

has com© to an end, and I cannot sailto-morrow morning without sending amessage of affectionate farewell to thepeople of the Dominion. When I spokein Wellington I tried to express the greatpleasure which my travels through th*North Island, rapid as they were, hadgiven me, and I said that I looked for-ward to having just as good a time in theSouth. The event has exceeded my expec-tations, high though they were. I can saynow that not a day has passed since Ilanded on April 24 which has not addedto the pleasure ind value of my tour. Ihave been most deeply touched by thewonderful welcome which has met meeverywhere, and I will never think of thepeople of New Zealand without affectionand gratitude."I should like to renew the thanks

which I have expressed before to theGovernment of tho Dominion, and to »11the authorities throughout New Zealand,who have been at such pains to make myjourney punctual and comfortable. Theexcellence of all tho arrangements hasenhanced tho pleasure of ray travels, bothby road and by rail, and I am particularlyglad to have soon even a very little ofthe magnificent scenery of mountain,river, and lake for which this Dominionis famous throughout the world.

A Splendid Future." I have only one regretthat ray visit

has been too short to enable mo to seeall that I should like to have seen. Ihave stayed nowhere without wishingthat my stay could be prolonged, and Ifeel that I have missed a great deal. Iam particularly sorry that, owing to theshortness of the time at my disposal, Icould not travel a little through thesettled districts and see for myselfsomething of up-country life."I have seen enough of town and

country, however, to realise that a splen-did future await* tho Dominion. Yourachievement since the country was an-nexed to the British Crown, only 80 yearsago, justifies the almost visionaryconfidence of your pioneers, and con-stitutes an amazing monument to the gritand enterprise of those who have sorapidly civilised and developed the land.

Equal Opportunity for All."Two things have particularly impressed

me here. In the first place, New Zealandis a land not merely of opportunity forsome, but of equal opportunity for all.I have never seen well-being and happinessmore uniformly evident throughout .thepopulation of country ,and town. In thosecond place this Dominion is a living ex-ample o'f the fact that the European racemay take over a new country without in-justice to its original inhabitants, and thatboth may advance in mutual confidenceand understanding on a common path.Both races of New Zealand, Pakeba andMaori, are an essential element in the lifeof the Dominion, and I have been deeplygratified to see what progress the Maoripeople are making, hand in hand withtheir British fellow subjects.

A Monument to Civilisation."New Zealand is one of the greatest

monuments of British civilisation in theworld, and I have felt that from end toend of the Dominion the people are trueto British traditions, and true to Britishform. I have found the strength of yourloyalty to the Empire and its Sovereignas keen and bracing as the mountain air,and I know that you will never weakenin your devotion "to British unity andBritish ideals.

"The spirit of New Zealand was shownmost signally by tho splendid troops whichshe sent to the front in the Grrat War,and also by the way in which the wholecountry i threw itfelf, without hesitationor reserve, into the Empire's cause. Ithas been a special pleasure to mo to meetagain so many of your returned men, andI should like to thank them once morefur turning out in such largo numbers tomeet mo wherever I have been. I regardthem always as my old comrades in arms,ard I am happy to see that they are main-taining the close t ; es of comradeship whichbound them together in the field. NewZealand need fear nothinp c* the futureif her manhood preserves the zyirit inwhich this generation fought and enduredfor freedom and right.

Tribute to Empire's Women."In its permanent forces the DonAion

possesses a very valuable nucleus oftrained officers and men. I have been

rack by their smart and soldierly ap-pearance on parade, and have also beenii inressed by your territorials and cadets,who have turned out in large numbers,;id alvravs looked very well. You have

reason to be proud of the results whichj it r system of training has achieved.

1 Your confidence in the future has an-nth t solid ground. N0 one realises morekee.ily than I how heroic was tho partwhich the women of the Empire played inthe prolonged and terrible ordeal of war.1 should like to take this opportunity ofcon ratulating again the women of .*ewZealand on their great services and braveendurance during the last five years, andalso of offering my heartfelt sympathy tothose whose gallant, men will not return.New Zealand women have proved themselves indeed a valiant counterpart oftheir husbands, brothers, and sons.

" Both men and women moreover havecreated noble traditions for the newgeneration, which is growing up to-day.I have been greatly impressed by thegatherings of school children which havebeen organised for me everywhere, and Ihave never seen a more robust, goodmannered, and promising race. I alwaysfelt, when seeinr, them, that they werevery lucky chiluren to have been born insuch surroundings and amid sueh promise,and they made mo confident that thevwould be a credit to their country and«their King.

My Own Kith and Kin."I must end this message now, but I

shall not say good b™. I feel myself atrue New Zealandcr in heart. I lookupon you, the people of New Zealand,as my own kith and kin. and I trust thatyou, on your part, will always regardme as one of yourselves, who belongs toyou as much as to the Old Country, orto any other of the King's Dominions.

" There is a good part of the world forme to traverse still before I can say that1 have feen the British Empire as awhole, and I do not know how long itanay be before I can pay v you anothervisit here. But this, at least, I cansay that I shall be drawn to New Zea-land by very happy and affectionatememories, and that when the opportunityarises of returning here again, I shalltake it with delight and without delay.Kia Ora."

Edward P.

LAST DAY OF VISIT.

A RUN WITH THE HOUNDS.

DINNER ABOARD RENOWN.

WARSHIP SAILS THIS MORNING.

("BY TELEGRAPH.— ASSOCIATION.]CHRISTCHURCH, Friday.

The Royal train, which left Irvercar-gill at ten o'clock last night, reachedChrjstchurch at nine this morning. Theweather was very cold all the way. TheSouthern Alps, completely snow-clad tothe lowest foothills, presented a magnifi-cent spectacle, and daylight disclosed awhite coat of frost over the South Can-terbury Plains. At Miidleton the tniinwas stopped for a*few minutes while thePrince hold an informal reception of allthe officials and staff connected with theconduct of the tour. He also addresseda few words of thanks to them all for themanner in which everything had beendone to secure the comfort of his partyduring their travels. He would neverforget the kindness extended to him on allhands in New Zea and. His Royai High-ness concluded bj wishing all of them"Kia Ora." A photograph of the groupwas then taken, with the Prince in themidst of the train staff.

Tho Prince left the train at Christ-church and was the guest of Captain andthe Hon. Mrs. Tahu Rhodes. He spentsome time in a pleasant run with thehounds of the Canterbury Hunt Clubat the initial meet of the club for theseason. The day was beautifully fine withbrilliant sunshine and a fresh westerlybreeze to add zest to the enjoyment ofthe outing. His Royal Highness motoredout to the rendezvous and was met bymembers of the club. After lunch theygot quickly to work, about one hundredladies and gentlemen following the pack.A large number of people in motor-carswatched the run from the roads. Mr. J.H. Selby was huntsman.

The first run was a short, sharp one,ending in a kill in the roadway right inview of the spectators, a quarter of anhour after the start. The Prince, mountedon Miss Richard's cob Clinker, was in atthe death in spite of the fact that he hadcome to earth unceremoniously at onefence, where his horse hesitated on the farside of the obstacle he had cleared, andmade a half-hearted jump at the secondclump of furze, then altered his mind,while his Royal rider, moving on in thespirit of the mount's first intention, slidlightly to earth. He was quickly in thesaddle again, however, and joined in theleading division. The Prince appropriatedthe head of the hare as a trophy. Severalother hares were put up during the after-noon, but though good runs resulted, nofurther kills were' made. Altogether itwas a most enjovable outing.

To-night the Prince gave an officialdinner aboard the Renown at Lytteltonto a number of guests, including theGovernor-General and Countess of Liver-pool, tho Prime Minister and Mrs. Mas-sey, Major-General Sir Edward Chavtor,the Hons.

LOWER MEAT PRICES.

BEEF, AND PORK REDUCED. |

NO CHANGE IN MUTTON.

NEW SCALE OF PRICES.A reduction in the retail prices of beef

and pork lias been agreed upon by theAuckland Mas! or Butchers' Association,and will tak0 effect as from Monday.The new scale of prices, which is notifiedin this issue, shows a decrease of a half-penny in eevoral classes of beef, and of a

Denny in one or two joints. The pricesof pork will be -educed by twopence a

pound all round. No alteration is beingmade in the price of mutton. This is thefirst occasion on which there has been ageneral decline in the price of beef andpork for some years.

The president of the Master Butchers'Association, Mr. G. F. Lane, stated lastevening that the prices of beef and porkwere being reduced as a result of therecent decline in the wholesale market.The present prices of beef and muttonhad been fixed by the Board of Trade a

1 year or two ago, in accordance with theI prices paid for export. Although,: he said, the price for mutton on the Lon-

j don market had fallen, there had been ;oi fall on tha local stock market, conse-| quently the retail prices remained un-

j changed. The price of pork, said Mr.j Lane, had risen last year and again this

j year, but the present reduction wouldj bring the rates down to about the level of1 those prevailing before last year's m-i crease.

MINE IDLE FOR DAY.

NO WORK DONE AT ROTOWARO

STOP-WORK MEETING HELD.

TRUCKERS LEAVE POSTS.

Tht frequency of stop-work meetings atcoal mines, which has a serious effect onthe output of coal, is not showing anysigns of abatement.

The latest instance occurred yesterday,when the Taupiri Company's mine atRotowaro was rendered idle owing to theminers holding i, stop-work meeting from8 to 10 a.m. for the purpose, it is stated,of transacting some business connectedwith their union.

While the meeting was in progress, ac-cording to information received by thecompany, all the truckers left the mine,with the result that when the miners re-turned they were unable to resumework. The suspension of operations forthe day means a loss of about 3.'K) tonsin the output of: coal from the mine.

INFLUENZA OUTBREAK.

SCHOOLS REMAIN CLOSED.

PROBABLY REOPEN ON MAY 31.The influenza outbreak in the Auckland

district was reported' by the district healthofficer yesterday to be well in hand. Hestated that the number of severe caseshad not increased, and he considered thai,probably the schools would be reopenedon Monday, May 31. The immediate re-opening, however, would be very ill ad-vised.

The cases notified in tho district duringthe 24 hours ended at noon yesterday num-bered 104 mild and 17 severe, as comparedwith 75 mild and 6 severe for the previous24 hours. The severe cases werereported as follows —City 3, suburbs andPaeroa 7 each. The mild cases were dis-tributed as follows :—City 19, suburbs 51,Paeroa 26, Te Aroria 3, Te Kuiti 2, andWaitomo County, Matamata, and Nether-ton 1 each.

The contagious nature of influenza ledtho health officer yesterday to commentstrongly upon the thoughtlessness of somepeople in attending business, travelling intram cars and ferry boats, and shopping,while suffering from colds. He saidthat persons having colds shouldregard it as a duty to their

citizens to remain indoors andtake care of colds, even of a slight nature.There were numberless instances of coldsand influenza being spread through thepractice of sufferers, ignoring the firstsymptoms, and attending business asusual.

Another medical man also emphasisedthe stupidity of people attempting tobrave out " colds. They were a menacenot merely to themselves but to all whocame near them.

FAMILY TRAGEDY.

MURDER AND SUICIDE, .

GIRL FATALLY STABBED.

FATHER CUTS HIS THROAT.[BY (TELEGRAPH.— PRESS ASSOCIATION.j

"WELLINGTON. ?ridiy.A terrible tragedy occurred at Otaki

last evening. From such particulars ashave been obtained by telephone, it ap-pears that about 9.50 a man named Me-Fall, a widower with four daughters, anda labourer by occupation, became engagedin an argument with his 19-yeuolddaughter Olive. A brisk interchange ofwords was overheard by a married daugh-ter, the father's lone being more in thenature of <" heated controversy than violentanger, and the cause of the trouble ap-peared to be a letter which he demanded,and which his daughter refused to sur-render.

The girl, it is said, remorsir,t!"d, irAwas suddenly heard to emit, a laud cryand exclaim. " Oh, father, you havestabbed me." Immediately after a fallwas heard.

When the married daughter rushedinto the room she was cm tied to hudboth her father and sister in a dying cor,.dition. Bo.h died a short time after-wards.

The evidence points to the fact thatthe father, in stress of aneer, seized asharp thin instrument, probably a ha!-pin, and made a thrust at the girl,piercing her in such a vital spot a? tocause almost instant death. J: is pre-sumed that the father then, horrified athis deed, seized a razor arid cut huthroat, inflicting a fearful wound.

The tragedy was reported to the localpolice by the" married daughter.' and thepolice were quickly on the scene, buttoo late to be of ?Jiy assistance, the vic-tims of the quarrel and tragedy beingboth dead.

It is understood that McFall has beena widower for some years.

GIRL STABBED TWICE.[by telegraph. ASSOCIATION'.]

LEVIN, Friday.

According to information received here,McFall called his daughter to him andstabbed, her twice in the chef, witha butcher's knife, and then cut his ownthroat. Both died immediately. It isunderstood that a serious charge, involv-ing another daughter, was pendingagainst McFall.

THE MOTOR-CAR SMASH.

SECOND VICTIM DIES;.

ROAD STREWN WITH METAL.[by telegraph.—own CORBESPONDE.VT.]

PALMERSTON NORTH, Friday.The second death resulting from Jtv)

motor smash at Sandon last evening, oc-curred at the hospital to-night, the victimbeing Mr. E. A. Penny, a single man,second son of Mr. D. 8. Penny, of Carter-ton. Mr. Penny, who sustained a frac-tured skull, and had both legs broken,was operated on immediately after admis-sion to the hospital, but, although hopeswere at one time entertained of his recov-ery, he gradually sank,

Fuller particulars show that theaccident happened shortly after sixo'clock, when a ceaseless stream ofcars was travelling south over the roadfrom the Wanganui races. A good manyof these cars were, as usual, "'making thepace," and the marvel is thai more acci-dents were avoided.

Mr. Islington, who was killed, was re-turning from Palmerston North, and wastaking Mr. and Mrs. A'Court and .Mr.Penny to their homes in San don. Abouthalf a mile from the town-hip the carcollided with another motor returningfrom Wanganui, and driven by Mr. to.Warren Newth, of Palmerston North.taxi proprietor. Although the road .itthe scene of the accident in wide andalmost stra ght. the impact occurred withsuch terrific force that both cars were re-duced to hopeless wreckage. The taxi-car struck Mr. Eglington's car a glancingblow, the rear portion being practicallytorn off and entirely stripped of its ba.iwheels and differential gear. Mr. Newtr'scar slewed right round md across ;ieroad, with its radiator and 'rent whetljshattered, and the hood and body b;t-tered and bent.

Both cars were damaged beyond repair,and the road was torn up and" littered foryards roand with broken glass and frag-ments of metal. Mr. Ellington, whoseneck was broken, was evidently killed in-stantaneously, while Mr. Penny, who oc-cupied a back seat behind the'driver. wasfound to be suffering from a fracturedskull and a leg broken in two places. Mr.and Mrs. A'Court , escaped almost un-hurt.

In the other oar there were six occu-pants—Messrs. W. Newth, B. Fain loth,Powell, Kidman, McConkey, and Ren-dall, of Palmerston North, "all of whr.nwere more or less injured. Mr. Newthwas found lying unconscious on the fioi.tseat of his car, bleeding freely fromwounds in the head. Of his companions,Mr. Faircloth seems to have suffered least.Mr. McConkey was severely cut. and onlyrecovered consciousness when brought totown. Mr. Powell, who is proprietor ofthe Railway Buffet, suffered very se-verely from lacerations and gashes on th*scalp and face. Mr. Kidman, of the Rai : -way Buffet, was taken to the hospital su,-fering from shock and loss of blood. Thaother occupant, Mr. Rendall, receivedbruises ebout the fire and bo<i\.

Most of the occupants of .Mr. Newth'"car were so dazed that, they were uncon-scious or bewildered for a considerabletime after the accident.

Medical aid frr>"i Bulls and PalmerstonNorth was procured for those whose eon-d'tion seemed too serious to wan-ant theirimmediate removal, and the PalmerstonNorth ambulance afterwards went out tobring Mr Penny to the hospital.

INVASION OF PERSIA.

"RED" ARMY AT ENZELI.

BRITISH FORCE RETIRES.

MENACING SITUATION.By Toiegraph—Press Association—A. and N.Z. LONDON, M*ay 20.

Offing to the enormous superiority ofthe Bolshevik forces the British detach-ment at Enaeli, in the north of Persia,on the coast cf the Caspian Sea, acceptedthe Bolshevik terms and quitted the town,where the invaders aro now in full pos-session.

■ (Received 6.30 p.m.)United .Service. LONDON, May 20.

The Bolshevik capture of Enzeli is re-garded as a most serious move, in view ofthe military helplessness of Persia and thenew responsibilities of the British In theMiddle East and the risks as regardsIndia. It is issumed that the Bolsheviksfirst aimed at the seizure of General Dcni-kia's volunteer fleet on the Caspian, which•was interned at Enzoii, but doubtless theirultimate purpose is the occupation ofTeheran. The situation is aggravated bythe unreliability of Persia's Cossack divis-ion, of which 5000 are reported to sym-pathise openly with Bolshevism. It isfeared that the whole division will jointhe "Reds."

The Daily Mail estimates that theBritish troops driven out of Enzeli num-bered between 400 and 500. A small num-ber of troops rimaiu at Tabriz, and theirfate, like the late of those captured atBaku, is unknown. The whole situationinvolves a seriois menace to British pres-tige throughout the Middle East, and en-dangers vitally import-ant oil interests inPersia,In the House of Commons, Mr. Bonar

Replying to Lord Salisbury in theHouse' of Lords, the Lord Chancellor,Lord Birkenhead, emphatically declared itwas the policy of the Government, whetherthe struggle proved short or long, to em-ploy tho whole of the available resourcesof Great Britain to restore law and orderin Ireland, and to render the secessionarycampaign now in .progress utterly impos-sible.

The forces of Great Britain were asdeeply committed to carrying to a successthe Government's purpose in Ireland asthey were to tho carrying out of thatpurpose in the late war.

If the troops now available were notsufficient, more would be sent. Theironly limit would be the extent anddegree of the crisis.

If the existing military formation wereinsufficient the Government would nothesitate to ask the population 'of thecountry to increase tho forces as in acrisis of the war.

OIL FOR AUSTRALIA.

PASSAGE OF AGREEMENT.Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.

(Reed. 10.30 p.m.) MELBOURNE. May 21.The Senate passed the Oil Agreement

Bill.

The agreement providing for a partner-ship between the Commonwealth Govern-ment and the Anglo-Persian Oil Company"has been described as one of the mostimportant business undertakings that theFederal Government has yet embarkedupon. A controlling interest in theAnglo-Persian Company belongs to theBritish Government, and by the agree-ment, the Commonwealth Governmentcomes into partnership with the BritishGovernment in the oil industry of the'Empire. An agreement exists betweenthe Admiralty and Australia by which theBritish Government and the Common-wealth each subscribe £50,000, as a con-tribution to prospecting work to becarried on in New Guinea for oil, but thisagreement is altogether distinct from theAnglo-Persian agreement. ( The Agreementwith the Anglo-Persian 'Company con-templates the establishment of a refineryin Australia capable of treating, first ofall, a certain regulated supply of crudeoil from Persia, whence the Anglo-PersianOil Company draws its supplies of oil.Consequently it contemplates the buildingand until Papua becomes oil-producing,the equipment in Australia of an estab-lishment which, should oil be found inPapua, will be capable at once of treatingit for the benefit of Australia, and the useof the people of the Commonwealth, andtherefore of the Empire in case of neces-sity. The Anglo-Persian Oil Companyputs at the disposal of the Commonwealth200,000 tons annually of crude oil. To dothis, it brings into service a fleet ofsteamers and its whole business organisa-tion. Moreover, it then supplies a tech-nical staff capable of designing a plantsuitable for the treatment of such crudeoil. Next it undertakes, on behalf of theenterprise, the marketing of the variousproducts such as petrol, benzine, motoroils, kerosene, lubricating oils, etc.Roughly speaking, the quantity of crudeoil that is to be furnished will bo amplefor naval requirements in Australianwaters, and the other products will meetat least half the Australian requirementsfor them. The commercial position thatwill be created by a situation of thiskind, therefore, will be one of greatstrength, because, as long as the crudeoils are forthcoming from Persia, Austra-lia is assured of a certain supply indepen-dent of what outside competitors mayfeel inclined to send her. *

The Commonwealth Government pro-poses to take control of the new companyto be formed to run the refinerv bv takingup 250.001 share out of the 500,000. Ofthe balance of the shares the Anglosian Company will hold a-half and theBritish Government a-half.

AUSTRALIA'S DANGER SPOT.

THE NORTHERN TERRITORY

ADMINISTRATION CONDEMNED

RESULT OF THE INQUIRY.By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.

(Received 11.30 p.m.)A. and N.Z. MELBOURNE, May SI.

Mr. Justice Ewing's report on theNorthern Territory inquiry has beentabled in the Senate. It severely con-demns the Administration.

In the course of the report Mr. JusticeEwing says that the cloud on the north-ern horizon, which to-day may not belarger than a man's hand, if uncontrolled,will- in th« future produce a deluge.

Referring to the necessity of securinga barrier between the white and colouredraces, ho declares: "Though we controlthe outposts of the continent,' the results6o far attained may be rendered uselessunless an intelligent attempt is made topopulate the Northern Territory with con-tented citizens, who will give true allegi-ance to Australia."

He declares that there> are no more Bol-sheviks among the population of the Tor-ritory than can be found in many partsof tho Australian States. The Territoryhad been governed in a way no other por-tion of the Commonwealth would toler-ate for a moment. Dr. J. A. Gilruth,tho former Administrator, was tempera-mentally unfitted for the office he ac-cepted. Judge Bevan had ceased tohave tho confidence of the people, in.which thoy to some extent were justi-fied. Mr. Justice Ewing found thatMr. E. E. Carey, who succeeded l>r. Gil-ruth as Director, had not been guilty ofconniption, and there was no proof ofany impropriety against Mr. R. J.Evans, the Government Secretary.

Mr. Justice Ewing urges the need ofmore police, and that whatever local con-trol is given to the Territory in future,it should provide similar government lorall.

The inquiry, into the administration ofthe Northern Territory was the result oftho practical deportation of the Govern-ment officials, Mr. H. E. Carey, Direc-tor, Judge Bevan, and Mr. R. J. Evans,Government Secretary, «in November last.Dr. J. A. Gilruth, former chief veterin-arian to New Zealand, preceded Mr.O&reyi as Administrator of the Terri-tory.'

ATTACK ON HIGH PRICES.

AMERICAN MOVEMENT.

MANUFACTURERS CO-OPERATE

DECLINE OF FOREIGN TRADE.By Telecroph—Press Association—Cooyricht

A. and N.Z. NEW YOKE, May 20.

American manufacturers, realising theseriousness of the retail price " slam-ming," are now expressing their willing-ness to co-operate with the bankers toreduce the cost of living from 15 to 25per cent. They anticipated that the 1914standard will never return, and that thecost of living will be half to three-quar-ters more than before the war.

The New York newspapers to-day arefilled with advertisements announcing theprices of reductions, varying from 20 to75 per cent, in the prices of clothing, etc.

One reason for the decline is disclosedby the trade returns from Washington.These show that during April exports felloff by 135,000,000 dollars, compared withMarch, while imports dropped 30,000,000dollars.

AUSTRALIA'S CAPITAL.

THE SITE AT CANBERRA.

PRINCE TO LAY FOUNDATION.

[FROU OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT]SYDNEY, May 11.

Now South Wales agitates constantlyfor the carrying out of the bargain made,when &he joined the Federation, that thecapital of the Australian Commonwealthshould be established within a certaintime in the southern portion of NewSouth Wales. The site, after great con-troversy, was fixed at Canberra, andbuilding had actually commenced whenwar out an end to the operations. A con-siderable sum has been spent liere onpublic works, but several more millionsare required before it will be possible tohold the Commonwealth Paliament there.

Those who know the extent to whichMelbourne opinion and influence dominateFederal politics recognise the justice oftho New South Wales claim, and whenCanberra was finally decided on Mel-bourne's piotest died away. But withthe dislocation caused by the war Mel-bourne's hopes rose anew, and she nowinsists vigorously that to spend money onCanberra is unjustifiable. Therefore, theannouncement that the Prince of Walesis to lav the foundation-stone of thecapital city there on June 14 will finallyand officially commit the Federal Govern-ment to Canberra.

AUSTRALIAN WOOL.

MARKETING THE FREE CLIP.

MR. HUGHES' PROPOSALS.

PAYING A DEBT WITH PROFITSDetails are given in the Australian press

of,proposals made by the Prime Minister,Mr. W. M. Hughes, for the marketing ofthe 1920-21 wool clip and of the balanceof the wool purchased by the Imperial Gov-ernment under the requisition terminatingOn. June 30. An outline of this schemewas cabled to England, but not to NewZealand ; some of the English commentshave been published in the Herald.

The position is that at the end of Junethere will be' a carry-over in Australiaof about 1,600.000 bales, this includingwool that will then bo on the water. TheImperial 'Government will have paid forall this wool, representing about£32,000,000. In addition, the ImperialGovernment is understood to hold in Eng-land about 800,000 bales, representing over£16,000,000, or a total investment of about£48,000,000.

The proposals made by Mr. Hughes areas follow-.—(1) No export of new 1920-31clip from Australia prior to October 1,1920. (2) No auction sales of Australianwool in London after September 30, 19i!0,until May 1, 1921. (3) The earliest noti-fication of this to be given so that buyerswill know that Australian wool will beprocurable only in Australia between thedates mentioned

(4) No auction sales of wool will be heldin Australia until October 1 next. Fromthis date on Australian wool brokers wouldauctiuii the 1920-21 clip on owners' accountand proceed with the auctions without in-terruption up to May 1, 1921, from whichdate onwards normal conditions could pre-vail, viz.:—The British Government wouldresume selling its left-over wool, and auc-tions could be held concurrently in Austra-lia of any small quantity that might thenbe left of the 1920-21 dip.

(5) The low-class wool which has beenheld back in Australia, said to be about500,000 bales, not to be shipped untilafter May 1, 1921, unless the followingtransaction can be negotiated, viz. ;—TheBritish Government to sell this wool to theCentral European Powers at, say, threetimes the appraised price in English cur

rency, taking payment of one-third in goldand the rest in bonds repayable in threeyears. Australia's share of the profitswould be half of the bonds.

(6) Any Wool remaining in Australia atOctober 1 next, in which the BritishGovernment has an interest, to be disposedof by auction in Australia on account ofthe British Government and the Australianwool pool after May 1.

Profits from the Requisition,The Australian growers are entitled to

half the profits from the resale of wool[ purchased by the Imperial C ivern-ment under the requisition, and inthis connection the Prime Ministeihas mado the following proposals :(1) The Commonwealth Government tonegotiate with the British Governmentfor payment of £10,000.000 immediatelyon account of accrued profits, suchamount to be used by the CommonwealthGovernment to reduce its indebtedness tothe British Government. (2) The Common-wealth Government to issue bonds (havinga currency of five years) to Australianowners for this £10,000,000, and at thesame time to make available temporarilyfor the assistance of banks, say,£3,iX0,000 sterling if necessary, where-with to lend up to 50 per cent, on thebonds to woolowners requiring accommo-dation to tide over until tho proceedsof the 1920-1921 clip are available. (3)As to the balance of the wool profits, allamounts as they accrue to be credited bythe British Government to the Common-wealth Government and to be set offagainst Commonwealth Government in-debtedness to a similar amount. TheCommonwealth Government to simultane-ously issue five-year negotiable bonds tothe Australian wool owner for the amountof such balance of such wool profits.

A Heavy Trade Balance.A speech relating to the marketing of

wool was delivered by Mr. Hughes at aprivate luncheon at the CommonwealthBank, on April 27, and a report was madeavailable after the publication of his woolscheme. He began by discussing theproblem of transferring to Australia thecredit which is accumulating in London." Our exports are exceedingly large re-latively to our imports," he said. " Thofigures for the period July 1, 1919, toJanuary 30, 1920, aw:—lmports,£45,913,000; exports, £84,347,000. Thisshows an excess of exports over importsof £65,887,000 per annum, and in thesefigures our wool exports are valued onlyat appraised prices, which are much belowworld values. To bring to Australia thisaccumulation of money presents the verygroatest difficulties, and the greater theaccumulation the greater the difficulties.

"Such an increase in imports in theimmediate future as would bridge thisgap of 65 millions is impossible,even if it wore desirable. Toattempt to import cold to Australia,wtych is normally an exporter of gold,would, on the face of it, be absurd. Yetby some means or other we must adjustour trade balance if we are not to reachan impasse. How great the accumulationof Australian money in England is likelyto be during the next 12 months can begathered from the following figures :Estimated amount of money now lying inLondon on Australian account at shortcall, £40,000,000; excess of exports overimports for 12 months ending June 30,1921. at present rate, £65,887,000; Aus-tralia's share of profits to accrue inLondon on wool to be sold—ancl bore Imake only a very rough guess—say,£30.000,000; increased value of Aus-tralian wool clip for season 1920-21, com-pared with present appraised basis ofvalue, £40,000,000; total, £175,887.000.Of this, there may be, say, £40,000,000 tobe paid in England for interest on loanmoney, public and private. It thus ap-pears that the accumulation of money inLondon by June, 1921, will have amountedto 135 millions over tho amount of ex-change to be provided by imports of thesame volume as at present. Side by sidewith this credit on private recount thereis an indebtedness to the Br isth Govern-ment by the Commonwealth Government,which has not been funded or in any wayprovided for, of some £40,000,000."

Wool Sales in Australia.Mr. Hughes proceeded to argue that

the re-establishment of wool sales in Aus-tralia was essential to the interests of thegrowers, and further that '' if Australianwool can be procured only in Australia itwill force British banks to provide thenecessary credit, and ensure that sufficientbuying power is centred in Australia tolift the 1920-21 clip at present world'sparitv ruling in London-

"Australia's share of the wool profitsis to bo paid ofler, not in Australia,but in London. How is it within therealms of possibility that the thirty mil-lions of wool profits, or whatever they-will be, can be brought to Australia inthe form of monev, in addition to otherrequirements and to the £80.000.000 thatwill be wanted to pay for the 1920-1921wool clip. Whatever money is transferredto Australia and paid over to owners onaccount of wool profits during the nextyear will to the same extent lessen theamount that will bo available to pay outon account of the new wool clip."There is another aspect, and this is

that the Commonwealth indebtedness inEngland must be paid. The Governmentof Australia must raise at least£40,000,000- I am eure that wool-growers will be acting in their own in-te«sts and in the best interests of Aus-tralia if thev will co-operate with theGovernment in overcoming the financialimpasse and so help to remove some ofthe difficulties that will face woolbuvers and. their bankers in providingthe money in Australia to pav for the1920-1921 clip at the full] world'sparity of price. It is obvious that

by setting off the Commonwealth Govern-ment's indebtedness to the British Govern-ment against the British Government'sindebtedness to the Commonwealth forwool profits in London, the financial posi-tion will be made much sounder, and thepossibility of dislocation of Australia'sexport trade in wool and other 'land' pro-ductswill be minimised. In the scheme sug-gested I have provided machinery both forthis and for payment to growers of theirshare of the profits in Australia in theonly way that seems to me to be a prac-ticable one.

"In accepting Australian bonds fortheir share of profits, wool-growers willnot be making any real sacrifice. No othersection of the community will have any-thing like the sum of £30,000,000 payableto it in London. No other section hasbefore it the possibility of realising duringnext year even a fraction of the amountthat wool-growers are likely to get for thenew wool-clip, if it is* handled properly."Whatever wool-growers as a body do

voluntarily, they will not be called uponto do again in connection with any callthat may have to be made in the" samedirection upon the general community. Iwant to impress upon you that time isthe essence of the contract. If anythingis to be done it must, be done quickly."

Speaking in the House of representa-tives, Mr. Hughes said the scheme wasonly advice and only his own opinion."My last advice to the woolgrowers," con-tinued Mr. Hughes, "is to sell their woolin Australia, and make the other countriescome here and buy it in the open market,so that they will get the world's price.The Ministry will not interfere withthem, but it will request the British Gov-ernment to do what it should do, and re-frain from selling wool which it now has,while we are palling our new clip. Thatis a perfectly fair and legitimate request.They have had our wool during the warfor only one-third of its true value. Wehave not received one penny piece of theexcess price; nor can we set any accountof how much is owing. There is no indi-cation whether it is £1,000.000 or£50.000,000. That is not business; it isnot fair play. In conclusion, I say to thewoolgrowers of Australia, make up yourminds to sell your wool in Australia, andnotify the world that you are going to doso. Whatever the world may say whenyon make that notification, once you havemade it. it must fall in with your resolu-tion, and come here to buy."

UNDESIRABLE PUPILS.

INDUSTRIAL HOME INMATES.

PROTEST TO THE MINISTER.

A SYMPATHETIC REPLY.Serious complaints as to the bad effect

upon the morale of the children attendingthe primary schools in the Now Lynn,Point Chevalier, Waikumete, and adjacentdistricts, of the attendance at the sameschools of boys and girls from the MountAlbert Industrial School, and o f othersboarded out in the neighbourhood, weremade to the Minister for Education, theHon. C. J. Parr, yesterday afternoon,by a deputation of headmasters and chair-men of school committees from the dis-tricts named.

It was stated that there were manyof the boys from the probation home atthe schools in the group referred to, inone alone there being 27. It was recog-nised that the interest* of these, boysand girls must be considered, but it wasurged that the interests of the "decent "children were entitled to first considera-tion. Many of the delinquent children,it wag stated, w-ere indifferently educated,and of a mental calibre much below that,of the ordinary child. One headmasterexpressed The. opinion that if 'th« delin-quent children must be sent to the primaryschools the percentage should be reducedto one or two per cent, per school. An-other headmaster said he thought it un-fair that any of them should be sent tothe primary schools. One such, boy orgirl might contaminate a whole school.The masters said this class of child shouldbe educated together, and apart from nor-mal children, by an expert. Specific in-stances of offences committed at schoolof these children were given. These in-cluded thefts, acts of indecency, and gen-eral bad influence upon other children

In reply, the Minister said hj had beenimpressed by the statements made. Hehad expressed hi* view on this matter inthe House last year, and had not changedit since. He had not much sympathywith this new departure. _ There mighthave been evils in keeping delinquentchildren in separate industrial schools,and there might have been good reasonfor the change. That was largely a mat-ter of policy. The departmental view wasthat it was a good thing for delinquentchildren to be sent to school with goodchildren, and that by that means theywould be influenced for the better. Hedid not think that 7iew said much for theintelligence of any department. Thechances were that the system would havetho opposite effect of doing harm to thegood children.

V?He he had every sympathy with theboys and girls in tie industrial homes,anil wished to see them get every pos-sible advantage the State could give them,he was of opinion that thb situation re-quired reconsideration. The practice ofmixine these children with those comingfrom decent homes would materially pre-judice the State system, of education. Itwould be his duty to consider carefullythe representations that had been made,with the view of conferring with theofficers of his Department at an early dateon the whole question.

HOSPITAL BUILDINGS.

GOVERNMENT AID SOUGHT.

LEGISLATION PROMISED.A deputation from the Auckland Hos-

pital Board was received yesterday morn-ing by the Minister for Public Health, theHon. C. J. Parr, at the board's offices.The main object of the deputation was toask for a giant for extensions.

Mr. W. Wallace, chairman of theboard,'"stated that it needed a grant of £IOO,OOOin order to provide a new block for theaccommodation of nurses, and for a ven-ereal diseases hospital building. Theboard had been informed that it couldnot obtain a loan of the money requiredfrom the Public Trust Office, as had beentho practice in the past. The Trust Officecould not, under the present law, lend tohospital boards, though it could to muni-cipal authorities and others.

In reply to the Minister the board'ssecretary, Mr. Sommerville, stated thatpast loans had been made out of accumu-lated profits, and not out of trust funds,to which the law applied.

The Minister said legislation would benecessary, and he undertook to see thata clause was inserted in the Public HealthBill giving the board power to pledge itsreal estate ondowments. He also thoughtit would bo necessary to have the pastloans confirmed. Nurses could not be ex-pected to cs.rry out their duties well un-less they were properly housed, and itwas the board's duty to provide adequateaccommodation for them. Subject tothere being no serious departmental ob-jection, ho saw no reason why the workof erecting the proposed new block shouldnot be pushed on. Referring > to the in-creased cost of building materials he saidhe hoped to be able to secure for essen-tial State works prices that would not besubject to competition from buildings thatwere non-essential. The Governmentspolicy of, giving preference to essentialState buildings would, render, thatpossible. J

The first was the need ioi anadditional grant of £25,000, supplementary to the grant of £IOO,OOO alreadyarranged, to meet the necessity of raisingthe maximum cost of the new" art* build-ing from £BO,OOO to £95,000, owing to Hieadvances in the price of materials and thecost of wage*. The remaining £IO,OOO ofthe additional grant asked was requiredto provide for necessary contingencies andequipment. The council desired also thatcertain items in the schedule of require-ments for the new building, namely, provision for mental and moral philosophy,home science, and education, should betreated as of immediate necessity, and ni lfor future addition. A large lecture roomcapable of seating 4CO was also wanted,to be designed for university extenstmlecture purposes.

Building Programme Just Started.The council also desired to extend the

recently-established school of architecture,by the provision of necessary equipmentand the engagement of a ful,-time direc-tor, and lor this purpose requested agrant of £SOOO. The need of eitablishingschools of agriculture and for?, try wouldalso press in th near future, it was truethat, under the will of the late Sir JohnLogan Campbell, a bequest of £2O,had been nude to the college fori instruc-tion in agriculture, but this amountwould probably not b available for manyyears to come, in terms of the testator'swill. • _

In ■ urging tie claims of the UniversityCollege for considerable financial assist-ance Mr. Fowlds said the college was onlynow beginning its building programme,whereas the Southern university collegeshad long ago been housed in suitable pre-mises. '

Need for Horn 6 Science Teaching.Professor ILW.Segar dealt with the need

for providing adequate accommodation atonce for mental and moral phiiosoi ,with fuii facilities for carrying out itsearch in experimental psychology. tieinstanced the amount spent and to bespent at Victoria College in providinglaboratory equipment in mental science,as an indication of the general convictionthat psychological study should havelaboratory work as an integral part oi it.In home science there was also strong reedfor the provision of expert teachers in thesecondary schools, and the meeting o! thisneed involved doing mpre than establish-ing one school of home science far theDominion. Whit had been done in Dtuio-din wild require to be done in the otheruniversity centres.

Professor A. P. W. Thomas emphasisedthe importance to the whole communityof adequate teaching in home' science.

The registrar, the Rev. A. B. Chappell,in reply to a remark by Dr. Anderson,director of education, said the new sciencebuilding wds already taxed in its accom-modation for the four sciences theretaught, namely, physics, chemistry,biology, and geology.

Mr. G. Peacocke urged the importanceof making immediate expenditure in linewith the council's requests, in ordar toensure that money hitherto spent might

I prove really effective.Auckland College Neglected in Fast.Mr. Parr agreed that, so far, there bad

been neglect of the things re-quired to make the Auckland UniversityCollege a success. Admirable work hadbeen done in educational respects, inspite of great difficulties in regard to ac-commodation and equipment. Now thatthe university site question had been set-tled he trusted there would be erected abuilding ■ worthy of the city and province.Such a building would elicit the prideof citizens, and probably arouse a genero-sity in support of university education onthe lines of the munificence of gift thatthe Otago University had aroused in theSouth.

Mr. Parr expressed the hope that inselecting the position for the new build-ing the council would bear in mind thepossibility of the whole area of land inthe vicinity becoming eventually avail-able for that purpose. As to the financialrequests made by the deputation, thesewould have to be considered by his De-partmental officers, and by his colleaguesin the Cabinet. He cordially Agreedwith the necessity of making provisionfor mental and home science and educa-tion.

Question* of Specialisation.At the Minister's request Dr. Anderson,

who came to Auckland especially to meetthe council, expressed general agreementwith the programme of development out-lined, but argued that New Zealand wasnot yet' large enough in population toallow of a departure from the presentarrangement as to specialisation in eachof the four university centres. Experi-ence showed that while the ordinaryuniversity education must be given amplefacilities in all the four centres, profes-sional schools were expensive. In thespecialisation that might continue forsome time Auckland should be given pre-ference in agriculture. He dissentedfrom the view that there should be aprofessor of agriculture, regarding :trather as a case anaiagous to medicine, asubject, that was to say, calling forteaching in many departments. The re-quests of the council would be given im-mediate departmental consideration witha view to something adequate being done.

EMPIRE EDUCATION.

INTERCHANGE OF TEACHERS.

.DEVELOPMENT OF SYSTEM.Th 6 interchange of teachers was referred

to by "Dr. A. P. Newton, Professor ofImperial History at the University ofLondon, in the course of an interview yes-terday. He stated that while his chiefpurpose in visiting New Zealand was torecruit his health, incidentally ho was hereas organiser for the Imperial Studies Com-mittee of the Royal Colonial Institute, theobject of which was to further the intel-lectual accord between the various partsof the Empire. The real purpose was todevelop a system by which there would bean interchange of teachers between Britainand the overseas Dominions. Tins wouldundoubtedly tend to create a better under-standing and would produce closer accordamong the British people. In certain in-stances this had already been done, but itwould soon become a general practice. TheBvstem had been talked abcufc for yearsbut now it had developed into a Pai*t °ftie Empire's reconstruction scheme. Theeducational authorities in Bntain wereprepared to facilitate the interchar*„'e 01

The secretary, Mr. A. H.

Mr. J.* A. Young, M.P.i nodapproached the Minister for Agriculturein the matter. The latter had replied toithe effect that the- Dopartmont was insympathy with the proposal that bee-keepers should be granted similar facilitiesfor raising loans to those granted for thefruitgrowers under the Fruit PreservingIndustry Act bub no legislation for sucha course existed. In view of the absenceof legislative authority, he thought theHonev Producers' Association must lookto the banks for assistance to build theproposed store at Ttmaruv Nothing, atany rate, could be done in the way oflegislation until next session.

The annual report stated that the pastyear had been a rather disappointing onefor beekeepers. The honey crop through-out the province was the lowest for many,years* This was largely duo to. thedrought In the early part of the season.This, together with the slump In themarket with the closing of hostilities,had made the lot of the beekeepers any-thing but a pleasant one.

THE SHEET-METAL TRADE.

TRAINING OF" APPRENTICES.

COLLEGE PROVISION URGED.A request that provision should be male

in the new Technical College workshopplans for classes for sheet-metal workerswas made to the Minister for Education,the Hon. a J. Parr, yesterday, by adeputation consisting of Messrs. P. N.Bartram, M.P., Mr. R. F. Barter, secre-tary to the Amalgamated Society of Engi-neers, S. Parker, and A. Harvey.

Mr. Barter said tha?. New Zealand wasthe only Britißh-speakSng country in theworld where there were no organisedclasses of instruction in this particulartrade, The employers had stated, wjhenthe question of a new awani was recentlyconsidered, that they would willingly payincreased wages to apprentices who hadpassed an examination, but the difficultywas that if the classes were cut out ofthe Technical College plans, as at presentintended, there would be no examinationfor them to pass. The sheet-metal tradein Auckland had grown Very greatly dur-ing the last few years, ana there was ascarcity of men, evidenced by the factthat they had been granted exemptionfrom service during the war. There wereonly 104 employee; in Auckland, and thetrade could well absorb at least 180. Inreply to Mr. Parr, Mr. Barter stated thatthe unions were very keen on provisionbeing made for the establishment of theseclasses at the Technical School.

Mr. Parker said it was almost ' im-possible to get men to carry on the work,consequently local firms could not compete with imported go<i(f»: There was nosupply of trained worktru from which todraw, and if proper training were notprovided for apprentices, it would be seri-ous for the future of this important in-dustry. It was impossible, he added, forapprentices to receive the necessary train-ing at their work, as there were nofacilities for teaching them the techniqueof the trade.

Mr. Parr promised that when the plansfor the new workshops were consideredhe would give dueled to the represen-tations made.

ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.

DEVELOPMENT IN BRITAIN,

EFFECT 'OF WAR CONDITiONS,

IMPETUS, TO INDUSTRY.' The development of electricity in Britainduring and subsequent to the war, wastho subject of an interview yesterday, withSir ' Arnold Gridley, K.8.E., who up tothe time he. left England was chief elec-trical officer,to the Imperial Government,Sir Arnold said that before the war hadbeen in progress many weeks itbeaamaevident that it would involve a strugglein the application of engineering scienceto every branch of warfare. As hostilitiescontinued the call upon the brain* and,inventive genius of engineers became evenmora insistent Extensions to existing en-gineering factories and workshops, andthe construction of new factories, manyof thorn national, were rapidly planned,and completed. ,Tho directing heads ofmany firms were called in to advise Gov-ernment Departments, in particular theMinistry of Munitions, Tho equipping ofdifferent factories was done at an amazingspeed, which was facilitated by the factthat so many of the Public Service under-takings were able to deal with the ad-ditional load by running two or threeelectrioity generating plonte, including re-serves, until such time as tlio stationscould be extended.

Great Saving e! Time,In numerous cases valuable time wassaved, and munitions of war made avail-

able for both the army and navy threemonths earlier than otherwise would havebeen possible. Electrical equipment forfactories was Installed much, more rapidlythan power-producing plant could bemanufactured and erected and althoughtho electric supply undertakings took risksin running all their generating plant, itwas felt by the Government that this waaa legitimate war risk, even if the supplyof current for domestic purposes >waathereby jeopardised.

Some 140 powerhouses were built or ex-tended, and *the plant capacity of eachpowerhouse was doubled, as was also* theoutput of electricity. That is to say, inthe four years required to complete thesedevelopments tho progress made exceededthat of the preceding 32 years.

Speaking of the future, Sir Arnold saidthe Electricity Bill passed by the. Houseof Commons at the end of last year, pro-vides for the appointment of five electric-ity commissioners, the function of whomshall be to direct and guide the futuredevelopment of power supply on nationalinstead of parochial lines. The generalobject of the new scheme is to do nwnywith all small and uneconomical stations,to maintain, and, if necessary, to extendthe larger stations at present in existence,and in future to establish powerhouses atleast twice the size of any existing to-day in Great Britain.

Main Transmission Lines.All the old country lines are to be

done away with, so fair as tho generation.of power is concerned. It is now pos-sible for a large number of municipalitiestc group themselves in order to promotetha " big scheme," or for companies andmunicipalities to combine fin similarpurpose, Tho power would be obtainedby means of coal fired generating stations.*and there was a probability that coalcarbonisation plants would bo erectedalongside some of the 'modern powerplants in tho same building, and thespare gas or semi-coke would be used asfuel, thereby cheapening the coal costper unit of power generated. As theschemo definitely develops the intention isthat new poworhou.'C- transmission lineswill be so placed tint tho railways canbe electrified anywhere in tho country bythe simph methods ( r taping the trans-

'mission cables, and the cities and therural distiicts will te tile to ibtain agovl supply oi' cheap now t." There is n qttcstioi," s,iid Sir

Arnold, 'that the reorganisation of thetransport power supply Syrian ir C!i*eatBritain ; s mosh gently needed underthe Gownraertt's wconstruction jchcroe.It directly affects everything, aid thesooner it is reorganised the better ; t willbo for the industries' and .the commerceof the country."

EDUCATION IN BRITAIN.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS.A lecture was given at the Training

College last evening by Dr. A, P. Newton,Rhodes Professor of Imperial History atthe London University, on "Recent De-velopments in Education in Great Britain."There was a large audience, thj Ministerfor Education, tie Hon. C. J. Parr, pre-siding.

Dr. Newton described the somnolentstate of Britain at the time of the out-break of the P'niih African war, and theinfluence on the Home Country of thespeech delivered by the King (then thePrince of Wales) at the Guildhall, afterhis visit to the Overseas Dominions. Bri-tain, however, had not 'oally awakened,the lecturer averred, until the recent greatwar broke out. The influence of this warhad led to thoroughgoing educational re-form, and especially in v.he appointmentby Mr. Lloyd Gaorge of en educationalistlike Mr. fisher as Minister for Educationthere was evidenced a desire to make education truly efficient.

Dr. Newton described the work of sev-eral British .Parliamentary Committees ap-pointed by the Prime Ministor for thedevelopment of the study of naturalscience, modorn languages, and other ne-cessary subjects of an up-to-date educa-tion. He strongly urged that there shouldbe established in New Zealand, as in otherpart* of Greater Britain, societies of ttakind represented by the Historical Associ-ation and the English Association of theHome Country. The lecturer closed withan urgent plea for care in education forthings of the spirit.

Dr. Newton, who had proved himselfa ready and refreshing speaker, waswarmly applauded, and a vote of thanks,proposed by the chairman and seconded bythe Hon. George Powlds, was heartilyaccorded to him.

BOYS' GEAMMAR SCHOOL.

PROPOSED NEW BUILDING.

DEPARTMENTAL DELAY.

ACTION URGED BY BOARD,

The anxiety of the Auckland GrammarSchools Board to proceed' without furtherdelay with the erection of a 1newsboys'school in the Mount Albert district wasexpressed to the Minister for Education,the Hon. C. J. Parr, by a deputationfrom the board which waited upon himyesterday afternoon. The position statedwas that the Department had purchased asite. The board submitted plans for thenew school in January last, but these hadnot yet been approved by the Depart-ment. The main difference of opinioncentred in the assembly hall shown ofl theplans as a semi-detached building, where-as the Department favoured a separatebuilding.

,

Professor A. P. W. Thomas, chairmanof the board, said that in addition to thequestion of tho hall, the board was await-ing authority to erect a school to acoom-Siodate 400 pupils, instead of 300. Theheadmaster, Mr. J. W. Tibbs, regardedhie hall as the centre of tho corporateJfe of the sohool. If the board's planwere adopted there were already threewalls in position, so that tho expensewould not be great. To build a de-tached hall in the future would be muchmore costly, he contended.

Referring to the matter of accommoda-tion at the new school. Professor Thomassaid there were at the Mount Eden school§22 boys, though it was built to accom-modate only 600. If the board liked toturn away the surplus boys it could startthe Mount Albert school to-day with 300.But the latter school would take two year?to build, in which poriod the normal in-crease in pupils desiring admission wouldbe 200. Also, in that time, other boyswould want to go to the new school. Theboard considered, therefore, that it oughtto build for at least 400. Its full schemewas for a building to accommodate 600,but that had' been postponed. JMr. J. H. Upton, a member of the 1board, endorsed Professor Thomas' re-marks.

The director of education, Dr. W. J.Anderson, who wis present, conceded thevalue of assembly halls in secondaryschools, but said he jpas Opposed to cen-tral halls surrounded by class-rooms onthe ground that the latter would notsecure adequate ventilation. The typeof hall he approved was a detached one,but it would cost more than the one theboard suggested, and that was an objectionthat had to be considered. He had sug-gested that such a hall might bo providedtor on the plans, giving way in tho mean-time to the erection of the school building.

Members of tho deputation: No,The Minister said he did not think

would be wise to limit the school accom-modation to 300. The Department wa9quit* prepared, on Dr. Anderson's recom-mendation, to provide a building for 550,and be thought another 50could be added.As to the situation of the assembly hall,he would have to consult with the direc-tor of education. He appreciated theopinion of Mr. Tibbs as a practical head-master, and he had obtained from theheadmasters of the Waitaki and OtagoHigh Schools opinions that those assemblyhalls were indispensable for tho main-tenance of the corporate spirit of theschools.

Dr. Anderson! My objection is a struc-tural one, not an academic one.

The Minister said he was satisfied theDepartment must give the board a hall,and he thought provision should be madenow for it. He would consider the mat-ter from the financial point of view.

Dr. A. P. Newton, Professor of ImperialHistory at the London University, whohad entered the room during tho proceed-ings, was asked by Mr. Parr to state hisviews on the question of assembly hallsfor secondary schools. He said they wereabsolutely essential, but the feeling, inEngland was strongly against centralhalls.

TE KUITI, Friday.During the week the members of the

Borough Electric Light Committee, to-ijet'ier with the engineer, mado a preli-minary inspection of a stream which iti i thought may be suitable for an electricpower scheme. All w ire very much im-pressed with the possibilities of thelocality, which is situate about three milesfiom Te Kuiti, quite near the main road.It is a gulley, the natural formation ofwhich lends itself admirably for the con"structlon of 'dam, which could be builtat a comparatively low cost. This damwould form a lake, comprising an areaof about 30 acres. The country belowthis site falls away very quickly, and afall of 300ft could be obtained with aboutoiio miio of pipe lino. The engineer willobtain further data when the committeewill consider the proposition and reportto the council.

DISCOMFORTS OF JURORS

COMPLAINT AT THE COURT.

BARENESS OF, JURY ROOM.

INSUFFICIENT SEATING.A complaint regarding the discomforts

faced by the jurymen in attendance at thaSupreme Court was made yesterday toMr. Justice Chapman, by Mr. G. Trevi-thick, foreman of a common jury, whichbad been trying a lengthy case. Theforeman said ho had been asked by theother jurymen to make the complaint, andhe personally endorsed it. The lack of |comfort in the juryroom, and indeed every-where, was most pronounced. It wai, notconducive to bodily comfort, and thin waslikely to re-act on the* mental attitude in .considering cases. It might easily leadto the determination to get through withthe business and get away as speedily aspossible. The whole surroundings woreof an uncomfortable nature. The seatingaccomodation for waiting jurors was inade-quate. What seats there were had nobacks, and there were often summonedmen whose physical condition was suchthat thev were not fit to wait under suchconditions. It was felt that the Crownowed more courtesy to the men who worebrought up for jury duty.

His Honor said he would draw the at-tention of the authorities to the complaint." The only consolation I can -offer at pre- jgent," he continued, " is that in Welling-ton things are a very great deal worsethan here. (Laughter).» I have no doubtthat there are other places where they are ja great deal worse again."

The Hon. J. A. Tole, K.C., Crown 1Prosecutor, suggested that surely therewas a fire in the' juryroom, but the fore- -man said that unfortunately Mr. Tole was imistaken in bis conjecture.

THE SUPREME COURT.

CATTLE-STEALING CHARGES.

TWO ACQUITTALS RETURNED.

STRAYS AMONG THE HERDS.A further charge of cattle stealing was

! investigated before Mr. Justice Chapman,at the Supreme Court yesterday. JamesWorsnop (Mr. Meredith and Mr. 0. E. ■Skrut), was charged with the theft of acow and a heifer at Euatangate, in Sep-tember last, and alternatively with receiv-ing stolen cattle.

| tot the prosecution it was stated thatH. L. Carey, manager of a farm five mitesfrom accused's property, turned out 66head of cattle on to unoccupied land ad-

. joining the latter place, in May last year.On mustering in September he found the

mob was 31 short, A number of the miss-ing beasts were found to have died in the,meantime. About that- time accused wasmustering.' when Carey went to look overthe cattle. Nona of the missing beasts wasfound. In December accused again mus- <tered preparatory to a sale. Carey againappeared and examined the lot, when hefound a cow and a three-year-old heifer,which he claimed, and asked at the same

i time how they camo to bo there. Ac-cused said that if Carey claimed theywere his, he had better take- them away, i

' Carey then said he would have the matter1 made the subject of further inquiry. The1 police were informed, and on asking foran explanation, a constable was informedby accused that he might hav<s bought)

I the beasts at a sale, and he thought theywere his own. The beasts had never been

1 offered for sale by accused. They wereplainly branded and ear-marked. The

• only explanation vouchsafed by accusedwas that he honestly thought they werehis. Carev testified to this effect. Hoadmitted that be had claimed a third"beast, which examination Bhowed be-longed to Carey.

Other Kissing Cattle.Evidence corroborative of the circum-

stances in which the beasts were foundon Worsnop's farm, was. given by H. T.Shell and Hugh Crawford, both of whominspected the cattle there with a view topurchasing them. Angus John Mackay,another farmer from the neighbourhood,deposed to having visited accused's farm onDecember 12, and having found there threesteers belonging to him, whjch had beenmissing for about three years. He de-manded and received payment for themfrom accused. He did not at the timemake anv charge of theft against accused.A. 0. McCwdle also stated that he foundthree steers of his on accused's property.A similar story was told by R. D. Fin-lavEon, another neighbouring farmer, whosaid he found on accused's property a redsteer which he had missed for aboutfour months. W. J. Thorburn also de-posed to finding a missing steer onWorsnop's property. When witnessclaimed the beast accused said he hadbought it about twelve months before.Witness said he had log; another steer atthe same time, and he txamined a secondone, which accused sail he had boughtwith the one in dispute, to see if it wasthe other missing eteer. He found it wasnot. Accused would not give up the steer,

- but said he would go to Whangarei andfind the exact data wh»n he had boughtthe two steers. In cross-examination wit-ness said thii after the hair on his steer'scar wes burned off and the ear-markrevealed, accused gave it up to him.

Case for Defence.

In opening for the tTefence Mr. Mere-dith said that th© accused was 65 yearsof age. He owned property aggregating1500 acres, in three different lots, andfor soma time past had had no assistancein working it. The summer of 1919 wasvery dry. There were between 800 and900 cattle tunning on the vacant landadjoining accused's property. The riverswere low, offering no barrier, and manyfences were burned by the frequent fires.Consequently th© cattle were always mak-ins choir way into accused's property,and ho could not keep* them off. He sub-mitted that on the morning when Careyfirst made his claim there had been avery hurried muster, and when an ex-amination in detail of the beasts in dis-pute was made cased admitted theywere Carey's, and told him to take thimaway.

Evidence to this effect was given bythe accused, by Albert Lewin, and AlbertGui?nier, two farmers living in. theneighbourhood.

In his charge to the jury His Honorstated thai the evidence regarding cattleother than that mentioned in the indict-ment had been admitted to assist them incoming to a conclusion. They could onlybring in a verdict of guilty, however, ifthey were satisfied that accused was dis-honestly in possession of the- two beast*claimed by Carey.

After a brief retirement the jury re-turned a verdict of not guilty.

VERDICT SPEEDILY FOUND.

YOUNG FARMER ACQUITTED.A conclusion was reached in the case

against the young farmer, Joseph WilHimClarke (Mr. Reed, K.C., and Mr. SteaM-man), charged with the theft of cattle.atAwarua, in the Mangakahia district. Theevidence was concluded oil Thursday.After counsels addresses and tie Judge'ssumming up yesterday morning, the juryretired for about a-auarter on an hour,returninc with a verdict of not guilty, andthe accused was accordingly discharged.

CINEMATOGRAPH IN SCHOOLS

AUTHORITY'S APPROVAL.Approval of the introduction of the cine-

matograph into State schools was ex-pressed by Dr. A. P. Newton yesterday."You will need to be careful, however,"he said "' in regard to the class of filmused. Whatever you do, bo quite surethey are studies from nature and, aboveall things,.do not show the children anyof those pictures which are ' got up ' forthe occasion. I have been in the so-called' wild west' of America, but the life thereis just as placid as in New Zealand. Justtry to imagine Kansas City being a placewhere shooting and lawlessness is theorder of the day. It does not exist, butthat is not tbo impression that people getafter feeing some of the films supsosed°tobe representative of Western Americanlife. Incalculable harm may be done bycreating wrong impressions in the mindsof the young. It is the real life in differ-ent countries that should be representedto the children. This would have a last-ing beneficial effect"

The victory registered by Loch-elia in the Century Hurdlo Sm at Wa-uga-mti brings the Grafton Loch gelding furtherinto prominence, for, with a Bib penaltycounted in, he has still the handy burden of(tet 131b in the Ellerslie race. A journeyextending a quarter of a mile further thanthat which ia attached to the Century HurdleRace, is before LocheUa, but, by all accounts,that circumstance may be regarded with per-fect equanimity, tor lie is credited with beinga stirer of the first water, pmahu, whofollowedLochelia home in the Century HurdleRace, will, it is contended bo, improved bythe Wanganui effort, and ha will meet hisSouthern rival on 4lb better terms atEllerslie.

WANGANUI STEEPLECHASE WINNER.By winning the Wanganui Steeplechase,

First Line must be accounted to hare far-ther justified his claims to be regarded ina promising light for croes-oountry events.'At Marion in September' last First Lice madehis debut in the Victory Steeplechase, inwhich race he had to strike his colours toMattock, to whom he was conceding Sib,but in the decision of the Glengarry Steeple-chase at Dannevirko First Line beat a. fieldof nine in good style, and a little lateron he won a cross-country event at OtakLBy all accounts First Line displayed a> lotof dash is the Wanganui Steeplechase con-test, and he had matters all his own wayin the finishing stages of the journey.

OBITUARY: MR. 0. C. McGEE.Another of the fast-diminishing band of

old identities who played a part in thefostering of racing in Auckland in theearly days, passed away yesterday in theperson of Mr. Owen Catron McGoe, whodied- at Otahuhu. whers ho had. resided fora period extending to well over half-a-cen-tury. The deceased came to Auckland withhis parents at a young age. In the 60'sand 70's bin colours (orange and green) werecarried by * number of horses, and ho wona number of good races with the DaintyAriel mare Perfume, including the A.R.C.Handicap <l87o). and the Auckland Steeple-chase and Autumn Steeplechase (1877).Though Mr. McGee was rarely absent fromEllerslie when racing was in progress there,he had practically dropped out as an ownerfor many years. "Owen," as the oldidentities loved to call him, could be termeda 'stormy petrel, and those with whom hodisagreed—especially when he took the floorto protest against supposed. harsh treat-ment of his horses by a handic&pper—coulddepend upon the gloves < being right off.Beneath this stormy demeanour, however,there beat a generous heart, and one whocould be termed a in;© sportsman. Therewill be many a kindly thought for OwenCurran McGee amongst the old identitieswho remember with affection bis colourswhen carried by Perfume. Elsa. AucklandKate, and others.

LEA'S SS FROM MY NOTEBOOK.Geoffrey, the rising three-year-old son,of

The Sybarite and Irish M-st. who carriedMr. E. W. Alison's colours to victory in theOnslow Stakes at the Auckland RacingClub's Autumn Meeting last month, is win-tering x&.y satisfactorily. In some respectsGeoffrey (rould be regarded a bit plain; but,all tee same, there is a lot about him torivet attention, and a real genuine wear-andtear appearance will, I opine, find him. aUvcii.rito with a great many. The Sybarite(sire of Geoffrey), who is by Symington, itmay be remarked, can lay claim to a beauti-ful pedigree, and as Irish Mist is a daugh-ter of S&ntry (son n{ Gallinnte) Geoffreyshould certainly develop staying capacity.Geoffrey is well engaged at three-years-old,a.id should the bay colt carry Mr. E.

A brace of the Australian yearlings im-ported by Mr. K. W. Alison, jun., are pro-gressing nicely in their education. A baycolt by Beragoon from Golden Fly carriesthe appearance of one that will come to handearly, and with a dash of the Multiformcharacter about him. he is to be regardeda: a prominittg youngster.

A black filly by Her-man from Bow Bells, also imported from !Australia, is at present running out. butshe may be got ready for spring engage-ment;.

The trio of Australi».n-bred youngsters im-ported by Mr. H. 3. Philcoi, who havebeen broken in by J. Buchanan, fill the eyevery pleasingly.

NOTES FROM ELLERSLIE.Luporino is being nibbled at for both the.Great .Northerns, and there is a belief in

some quarters that the Waikato gelding willexpecionoe little difficulty in negotiatingthe Steeplechaso obstacles when tested.Lochelia has advanced in favour for theGreat Northerns since capturing the Cen-tury Hurdles at Wanganui, and C. Chris-tic's charge promises to start tho actualfavourite.

i W. Mobborley has again found it neces-sary to tako to his bed, and reports regard-ing the health of the local trainer are un-fortunately not. satisfactory.

Mr. Kwon Alison, Jun., owner of Thraceand, Co., contemplates taking a trip toHonolulu ot th© beginning of July.

Mexrie Prince, by Prince Merriwee—Fine, gave a good exhibition for a begin-ner over the schooling hurdles early in trie

! week. W. Sharpie*' cnarge has beenplacing a lot of vim into his work on thefiat of late, and is certainly on the im-prove.

Mr. A. Hill was down with an attack ofinfluenza last week-end, but is now aboutagain.,

Should the weather prove favourable, itis probable the hurdles on the outside ofthe course proper may be available on Tues-day morning for competitors at the GreatNorthern meeting.

Gold Catcher, a hunter by Gluten, wasamong horses worked at headquarters onThursday, The chestnut was In chargeof Mr. T. Harris, and will be a competitorat the hunt fixture at Wahiku.

N. who is now following the.calling of a publican at Otahuhu, was re-cently down with influenza,, but is now onthe way to recovery. He has six horsessUi located at Ellerslie.

Scrap o' Paper is standing up soundly toa preparation by C. Hodder.Besant, jthfl Etonian—Snowstoll repre-

sentative trained by C. .Coleman, and whohailed torn Australia, is mooting with fa-vourable comment since arrival at Ellerslie.

Taiamai is still at Ellerslie, but shouldsoon bo sufficiently recovered to allow forher removal across to Takapuna.

Thrace and Glencanny were companion*in a useful seven-furlongs on the sand lastThursday.. The latter is to be ridden byC. Reed in the Cornwall Handicap at EUers-lie. •

Deviation and Royal Irish were a, pairnoticed indulging separately in strong workon the sand , track last Thursday.

Advice received in Auckland was to thoeffect that Tcatere was expected to makea good showing in the hack hurdle class atWanganui on Thursday, and his failure toreturn a dividend proved expensive to Nor-thern enthusiasts.

The price returned by Marquetcur in theConnolly Handicap at Wanganui came as amild surprise* to sportsmen away from thecourse, for on his winning.form at Egmontthe previous week "it certainly looked as ifthe Kin** Mark representative should havebees installed a firm favourite.

Quite a number of candidates for theGreat Northern Meeting are expected to putin an appearance at headquarters within thenext day or two. * ■'• ,

Blnestone and To Oro were visitors work-ing at EUerslie yesterday, while Rockfieldis expected to put in an appearanceto-day.

We have had no quarrel with thehealing methods of official medicine.If you believe that doctoring gaddrugs -will cur« your disease yon arenot reads for methods wherein druz-Sing has no place.

Yet surely it must strise you sispeculiar that substances nhich arepoisonous to the healthy body shouldbe curative to those in ill-health. Ourcontention is that whatever harms thevital forces in health will be stillmore harmful in disease, and ourpractice is to cleave to that which isvitaliy beneficial and avoid thatwhich is vitally harmful.In treating patients, whatever theirdisease may be, our primary aim if tobo infuse the system with vitality ornerve vital force that it is the betterequipped to combat disease.

Wo do not merely allay symptoms,bat treat the source of diseasedirectly, co-ordinating with these anatural mode of iving that aids thehealing force within the patient tobnne about a, speedy return to normalhealth.

We do no! claim that our methodsare the only ones that cure diseases—-that doctoring is unable to cure—butwe do believe that our percentage ofcures of incurable cases, practicallylOC per cent.. is unapproached by anyother methods.

Som* employers are deeply concernedit the retrospective effort.-; of awards ofthe Arbitration i ■ art On bright morn-ings, when the curt is m good humour,it grant.* certain bonus*.-, and to add tothe, joy of the occasion it makes the pay-ments retrospective for A!' v period from.-, month to c ix nth* This worries theemployer, r ho has to find the money, butthere is a pood time coming. The upwardtrend of prices is only temporary. By andbye things will come down, and then theronrt. maybe, will lop off the bonuses,and. to be consistent, it must make thededuction retrospective. Then the em-ployer will be looking for a little of hisown back. Re will be presenting bills toBrown and Jones for 6s per week for 18weeks, total £5 Bs. and Brown and Jonesbeing satisfied with the equity of theproceeding will find the money and tenderit with a smile. In anticipation of thesegood times ahead "Mamttio" would urgedissatisfied employers to "carry-on" inthe meantime.

A new concession to tramway passengersis proposed by Mr. Gunson in the pro-vision for the sale of concession tickets at" numerous convenient places in the cityand suburbs" The usual arrangementwould involve the diversion of a certainamount of revenue to the payment of com-missions, and on the figures presented byMr. Gunson it appears that the marginto be expected from the new fares is notvery large. It is in the interests of thewhole community that tramway expensesshould be kept as low se, possible, andthe suburban local bodies might give alittle practical assistance by undertakingthe sale of tickets without commission.After all. the 'tramway management canhardly be expected to press the sale ofconcession tickets. The people who wantto curtail the cost of tram travellingshould be prepared to go out of their wayoccasionally to secure the discount.

It is cheering to read that among theMount Eden Borough councilors thereare some champions of the family. Therepresentatives of the suburban* localauthorities are supposed to have scoreda gifat victory over the City Council byforcing down the tram fares, but in doingthis they piled another brick on to theload which parents have to carry. It wasproposed by the City Cauncil" to raisethe half-fare age from 12 to 14. Thatwas a fair and reasonab'e proposal, andeven if it was to cost the £19,000 esti-mated it should have been adopted with-out hesitation. It. seems, however, thatthere is not much room for the childrenin the cars, and very little sympathy fortheir parents among borough councillors.This is strange. Po fathers and mothersnever vote'' There ought to b* a Parents'League, which would get busy in theinterests of the family, when such mattersas tramway far-'s are being discussed.

, Had there been such an organisation inbeing _ last week the city and boroughcouncils would nave had to find anotherway of maki-g up that £19,000.

WORK WITHOUT WAGES.A RUSSIAN EPISODE.

BT MATANOA.

If this cables are to be believed andthey are certainly as credible as some«ho asperse them-Lenin the Red Russian

; has solver the pressing problems of the| indsstri.il world, including that of thesoaring cost of living. He has abolished

! the weekly holiday, decreeing that worki shall be done on Saturdays a* on otherdays; and by proclamation has declaredthat the habit of regarding work as aburden and its undertaking as a ciaim

I upon remuneration is an outworn heresy.That he meant "'hat lie '-aid was proved

on May Day in Moscow. On that day theReds enjoyed a working bee in the Krem-

; Jin. giving it a very thorough "springI cleaning." Lenin himself lent a hand, en

1 couraging the voluntary workers by earn-

i ing heavy loads. It was a great event -

the annunciation of a new cm, the core-I nation of free labour.

'■ To give the Kremlin a real renocationwas no l ;ght task. Within its quaint mi-

j closing walls, stretching for a mile and a-I quarter, is a vast congeries of buildup.;—

palaces, cathedrals, monasteries, Ibrariis,museums, burial-places and an a.-senaJ;and its commanding situation, on a steeplyrising hill on the bank of the Moskwa, hasdrawn the crowding reverence of manycenturies. It is the most sacred spot in allRussia : "above Moscow is only the Kiemlin, and above the Kremlin is only...

Aheaven

"

Its gorgeous cupolas and magnificent fa-cades make it a veritable casketof beauties, though "to the Russian,"as Hugo (ianz once remarked, "this jewelbox is by no means a plaything." There,however, amid surroundings of so solemn-ising a suggestion, Lenin led an enterprisethat turned work into play.

The Joy of the Task.

Apparently, lie would have men workalways in the spirit of that enterprise,labouring not for wages, but for the joy ofthe task. The eagerness with which hisRed army attacked the dust of centuriesin the Kremlin he would introduce intcindustry's whole realm. He would haveevery task become a labour of love: allindustrial movements in life's symphonywould then be played "con amore."

If this could be, anxiety about the ris-ing cost of living would vanish. Weshould work "asking for nothing again."There would be no lack of sen-ice any-where, no reluctant energy waiting to becoaxed into activity by pecuniary promise.Our coal would be won, our grain grown,our bread baked, our clothes made, and soon through all the multitude of humanwants, without demands for payment.

ages-books, time sheets, pay-days, esti-mates, contracts, strikes, lock-outs, thego-slow policy, the I. C. and A. Act, andthe trade union would all be cast as rub-bish to the void. Everything would bewithout money and without price. Livingwould have no cost. There would benothing for the labour agitator to make awork about, since nobody would want anvwages: and industry's Millenium would ar-rive with a. rush.

Lenin's idea is by no means original. Itis aboriginal, rather. It belongs to thsprimitive days when markets and emplovers and Factor,' Acts were undreamed,when nan's wants were few and simple,and capable of supply by his own easyexertions. In such circumstances -wages

1 have no place. Since then, the humanfamily fsave for a few backward members)

I has multiplied its demands. The standardof life has risen, and in consequence adivision of employments and a medium ofexchange and all the paraphernalia ofmodern industry have become inevitable.

An Enduring Hope.

But, tired with all the business of thisorganisation, man has often looked backwith longing to the tropic Eden whencedesire for a wider life drove him. Some-times he is fain to go back even at thesacrifice of the fuller life. Yet the impulse of a native craving for progress hassaved him from a renegade return: in

his own heart he bears the flamingsword that bars his reentry to easefulsimplicity.

Nevertheless, he has courageouslycherished the hope that Eden mightsome day be planted in the wildernessof his wider world,—that its love mightovercome all internecine strife and itscarefree life return. Mi.-ht not. \\> hasoften asked, iree competition give placeto free co-operation? Might not mutualaid oust mutual hindering' Might not

I all the trappings of modern industry helout-grown in a grand develntmei.t of! human cordiality' Should thit hopei hive fulfilment, wages would he again as! much an anachronism as m the days of

THE PRICE PROBLEM.

ITS PRESENT POSITION.BY H. W. SEGAH, M.A., F.N.Z, INST.

The Price problem is still with us.And profiteering is still the popularexplanation of high prices. Anti profiteer-ing tribunals here and elsewhere aremaking constant efforts to catch the,profiteer. But he appears to be a veryelusive bird. It is not easy to put salton his tail. Some verses from the NewYork Sun aptly describe the situation:

Where ii the profiteer?Not hfre.

I've looked around.He runt be found.

That's clear.He's always fomewhero els*;

It's queer.Bo's over there,He's anywhere

But here.Rut if the profiteer cannot, be caught, canhe be outwitted or circumvented ?

The. Women's Protest.This is the problem that the Civic

League set for the women of Auckland.Som ? port)' n of the self denying ordinancewhich it-1 - proposed the women of Auck-land sheu'd impose on themselves h*s.nuch to recommend it, though its bestvirtue* are perhaps not thoso whichappeal to the- majority of the womenthemselves. Refusing to pay the pricedoes net necessarily mean that you willget the article cheaper-at least not- whenpresent stocks are exhausted. The articleitso.f mav nc' be forthcoming. And,after all, the money that is not spent instockings will be spent in other directions,and so tend to raise the prices of otherarticles. The cost of living may not bemuch reduced, if at all, by a mere changein the direction of expenditure. It mayeven be raised. Mure money may in theend be spent in the purchase of cheapthan of dearer stockings..

i The solution of the whole problem isI not to be sought in strike methods, or! with the strike spirit. Such efforts asi those of London merchants in going to• their offices in denims and of Aucklandj society belles in wearing "cheap" stock-ings, —or may not—lower the price of

| broadcloth and silk stockings, but it is| an likely to raise the prices of necessaryj articles on their poorer fellow citizens. Areally effective policv for reducing—otherthan temporarily—the prices of even aparticular class of articles, mus(| consist,not in limiting the prices to be offered

Iby purchasers to amounts the vastj majority of people nevor even dream of

I paying, but in restricting the consumptionjof the commodity. Economy, in spiritI and practice, is what is wanted. Not the! more than doubtful economy of buying' cheap goods, but the true economy of get--1 ting all the wear thai is possible out ofi the article purchased. Here all can assist;i not merely the few who have beon payingj more than 8s 6d for stockings. If women

I could suppress fashion for a season, sojas to enable their clothes to bei actually worn out instead of beingl merely abandoned, much good might| be done. If it could be regarded as good! form for a time, as it was at Home during

the war, for both men and women towear1 clothes that showed some sign of wear,

! and not to appear as an automaton fashion-j plate, much again might be done. All

I things have risen in price. That is a pro-blem that even this policv will not seri-ously tackle. But some things, amongst

j them clothes, have risen far more than! others This is because of relative scarcity| •I supply or excess of demand, or both.! Supply will restore itself if given time,I unless' the movement should over-reach! itself and remove all inducement to in-! cease the supply. In the meantime we

may lessen the demand. The best wayI of doing this may, after all, be to use, good stuff, but, certainly, whatever the; stuff, to use it as long as it will permitlof use Even those who can well afford: to indulge will do their fellow men a good! turn in refraining from extravagance in: the consumption of any commodity which

has risen in price more than the average.I But, after all, the main problem is notI the special denrness of some particular

I articles, but. the d earn ess of all, and thati is quite another story.! Can Prices Fall?! While the many arc clamouring for a! lowering of prices there are not a few who! tell us that priors cannot come down again.

1 lliev may he thinking of the (roods in their1 own'particular business, .but the conclusion•is to these colours their view of the whole

! question. Pressed for explanation, the1 reason emerges that wages will not pernvt

' i', and wages will never fall. The work-! ing man. it is held, will never again accent' smaller wages.

i There is no distinction in this argumentbetween real anil money wages. Money

1 wages have risen win a vengeance. Hutin spite of th's will anyone maintain that,

: with possibly one or two exception*, theworking man receives a higher real wiwe

I .111 five years ago? That he has a larger! portion of the nerossar.es of life and coin

. forts of existence'' The rise- in the money1 vase ha* nierelv been the necessarymethod of maintaining approximately '.he

! rea 1 wage. It is th" real wage that 'he] workman needs, and must have. HowI manv shillings a (lav he receive? dependsj or' other fa'tois. and if at one time tenshillings will purchase what twenty will in

I another, then ten shillings is as good to' him at the first time as is twenty at the

other The reversal of the influences thatI made i! necessary to increase the moneyi wage, to maintain the real wage will forceI the working man lr a. cent a smaller

monev w.ige to prevent his getting agreater real wage than indintry «i'l N'ar.

In'taii'cs of general prices falling are ,-n

abundant in l.i«t<.ry that there is no needto further argue th» point. In the seven

years lbc/l 1816 prices fell no hss than Mpi r , cot , altir igh this period ,ompii«edthe later p.irtion if the N'npoVnic war,

CERTAIN BOOKS.

TRASHY LITERATURE.

BY H. T. UIBSOS.Perhaps the most popular book? road

by the young people of to-day are thosoof American authorship. Too many boysdiscard tho works of MaiTyat, Kingston,

j Ballantyne, and hosts of old-timefavourites, and eagerly seize upon those

I of such writers as Ridgwrll Cullum and Ijother scribblers of Wild West fiction.Why is this Why does a boy leave

"Peter Simple" on the shelf and pore jover books describing saloon brawl-, andsordid life generally ? Why dies a girl ,

toss "Holmby House" aside and devour"The Twins of {Suffering Creek?" Letus defer the answer for "a time. !

Young people live in a land of make- |j believe. Every ordinary boy at some Ii time, of his life is a mighty hunter, fore- j. ing his way through the trackless forestI to stalk his game, or he is a British sea iI captain leading a, forlorn hope againsti desperate odd-. Every ordinary girl| lives through the stage wherein |I she is at least a duchess, the |

; belle of society, adored by countless II admirers, and comp'etely extinguishing!i whole ballrooms of jealous rivals. No ,

| one would deny them their dreams, for; soon enough they discover the realities of ,

1 life. Soon enough the aspiring captain; bold finds himself shaking doormats at j! the back of a milliner's shop, while the!would-be duchess attends to the hunger '

'of a humble clerk in a third rate tea- 'j shop, and the dreams disappear with the'■ simplicity of childhood. By all means let j!us encourage our young folk to see ]

1 visions, for a life made 100 materialistic '| provides for them but a cheerless out-I look, a drear,--prospect ; it tends to dull |j their imagination and to check their ]

I mental growth. Maybe the former dreams |

i of the shaker ol doormats will suggest to ,! him a means whereby he may disperse I■ (lis dust] cloud, and so lead him on to ,| study the problem of dispersing the fogs [

i that wreck ships on his beloved seas Ij Possiblv the waitress, with her visions of iI leadership in society, will see through the jl emptiness and hypocrisy of nurse proud ,! customers, and will teach to the children!| of the future the folly of ignorance

Life- and Literature.

Yes, let us encourage childish day- |dreams, but let us encourage them, on I

| right lines. The chief agency that| quickens such dreams is, of course, the !I reading of books. The fact that life re-!acts on literature and affects its stylo is Ifairly well recognised, but it seems to methat literaturo is reflected in life to * Igreater extent than life is reflected inliterature. • A former Auckland bishoponce admitted that he had not read anovel until ho had grown up, and thatthe reading and studying of our standardj novels changed his whole outlook uponlife. When we reread our old favourites,

Jdo we not at once realise thatthe effects of the writers' creations uponour adult minds are very different fromthe effects made upon our youthful con-ceptions? At one time we looked uponThackeray's Amelia as an ideal woman,but now most of us consider her to beonly a weakling, if not a fool. One couldmultiply such instances a hundredfold.

No matter what novel we read, we findthat -we put ourselves in the plac» of acharacter in the book. This being so,how much more intensely must our youngfolk live, for the time being, the lifo oftheir hero or heroine! ihe Germans

! have a very comprehensive verb, " nach-empfinden,' to try to feel what one hasread, to exist as a character in a book.No effort is required for young people to" nachempfinden" what their imagination

i gains from their reading, for to thi; mental impersonation is a natural result.; Imagination is one of tho strongest facul-

i ties that we possess, yet the imagination; of children rartly receives much atten

tion from their elders, and is seldomguided. Promiscuous and uncontrolledreading produces promiscuous and uncon-

: trolled imagination, which in turn too: often provides the young mind with false i' ideas of life, and with false ideals at whichJ to aim.

I Supervision of Reading.: ij Hence arises the vital i.e. e.-sity of!'supervising the trading in whiih our,

I young people indulge We oxer. I*o more; or less i..iitro| <v,-r their .lio.ee of com 1

! him, or that which is too far advanced' in either subject-matter or language for 'i him ti. understand. Such eonipubion

I would not only arouse a dislike for thebooks provided', but would create .1 desire '

- for other literature which might be harm, ,fill to him. Hut we should guide ins :reading into suitable channels '1 he gu'.d |ance of youth is an easy nutter, provid !ing it is undertaken wth due regard to Ithe mental capability, the natural dc-ires, ;and the character 'of tho.-e we wish [.. i

PAGES FROM OUR PAST.«. ,

A HISTORICAL PAGEANT.!!V MAURICE Ht'ltST.

One of the most picturesque ceremoniescarried out in connection with the Prince 'of Wales' visit was the historicalpa-cant staged at J'etone. Although ,the original idea was to enact the landing ,

I of the pioneer settlers in 1840-tbe first'j organised settlement in New Zealand—the j

' programme was extended to include the !

I three chief historical events prior to colon- j|isation; the coming of the Maoris, the I

j landing of Captain Cook, and the arrival jof Samuel Marsden. '

Before the war, historical pageants wereI becoming popular forms of entertainment '

I in England, whose thousand years of his- |tory supply ample material for picturesque ipageantry. Rut conditions are different

|in New Zealand ; our history is com-

j paratively short, our story is not so richI in variety and drama and colour as is

I that of the smallest county in the OldCountry. Iherefore the unique ceremony

! planned and performed at Petone is ofi more than pissing interest. Let us hopei that before 'ong some of our progressive

people will attempt a New Zealand[ pageant on a more extender scale.

1 Visualising the Early Days.hor reasons that need not he mentioned

, here, the Petone event had do be cram-I mod into half-an-hoiir, much too short a

i tune for the acting of a four-part pageant.I Again, the Prince was inevitably theI centre of attraction for the huge crowdlof over 20.000 people, and the per-

j formers did not set a " fair show."I Nevertheless, one could not but feel that

j a large proportion of the onlookers were' genuinely interested in the play, and were

thrilled for awhile as they visualised someof the personalities and events of ourearly days. The native canoe gliding

jupon the harbour waters as she responded! to the pull of a score of paddles wieldedjby Maoris in old-time dress—it was a

| living picture from past centuries. Cap-I tain Cook became a real person to a- generation that seldom thinks of him and

his achievements. ISo with the pioneermissionary, the reverend Samuel Marsden.But it was the landing of the pioneersettlers" that was tho most successfulfeature of the pageant; it gained impres-siveness from the fact that here was theactual place where the original immi-grants came ashore ; and the details of

the landing were historically exact. Theyear 1840 came into view as the travellerstramped along the little jetty— intop hats and broad cloth, women in tightbodices and crinolines and wide bonnets,children in smocks and old-time frocks,

with the quaint appurtenances belongingto the early years of Queen Victoria'sreign. That was the final act of the

pageant, taking tho mind back to thostirring happenings that did so much to-wards making New Zealand one of themost British and prosperous of theDominions.

The Wakeflelds.For the settlement at Petone beach was

the first attempt at colonisation made byEdward Gibbon Wakefield and his

i associates in the New Zealand Company.It was that venture which forced-theBritish Government, in 1840, to takepossession of the islands of New Zealand

I Boh re that time the country was truly| a No Man's Laud. The only whitesI were a few missionaries and a variegatedI , rowd of whalers and traders 'there was' neither law nor order, and the conditions| of life in the few white settlements were' deplorable. 'I he Home (iovernment

I would take no interest m colonisation,

1 and at every turn thwarted the actions

of tie far seeing people who perceived the

1 importance of planting British settlementsin the vacant lands overseas.

In M..v. 1839, Gibbon Wakefield| secretly despatched to New Zealand the! ship Tory She had on board Colonel; William Wakefield, the coloniser's brother.! who was to act as the company's agent'in the purchasing of land from the

: natives, and in arranging for the founding'of settlements. At Port Nicholson the' Tors rerived a fiiendly welcome from the' natives, who dwelt in .-iv pas around the

slimes of what is now .ailed Wellington: harU'tir. After lengthy negotiations,

CURRENT LITERATURE.

NOTES ON NEW BOOKS. !

BY CRITIC. IIThough the sensational details have prac- '

' tically ceased, Russia's Bolshevism, a [in-tent factor in the world's unrest, still re-mains a point of interest Various a. -

counts of it have been published: none ,have been wholly satisfactory, because,

; perhaps, writers have been apt to loseI their readers in a mass of detail appertain-, ing to the particular period studied. F.vervj year winch pushes the originating move-i ments of the chaos further into the pastI is likely to give more illumination, and| thus the studies which appear from nowlon of this curiously isolated revolution

i should inform us more successfully thani the earlier ones.

; BOLSHEVISM,| "Bolshevist Eussia"-by Etienne An-,tonelli (Stanley Paul. London —A non '

IRussitTi author is probably a fairly roll-; able glide, since he ran judge the state of; effairs without emotion and since he sI wit!out that intensity of patriotic feeling.which necessarily leads to a more or less

: partial judgment. In this rase the writ-"-does rot go into too great detail He

.takes practically what he sees and whiti anyone else -would see who visited Russiaat the present time. He sketches the long

I chain of causes which led to the overthrow |j of Tsardoni, and instances the fact that] A-hen the Tsarist Government was over-j turned in 1917, not a single protest wasj heard throughout the great domain of II Russia. Not one of those 130.000 land-

i holding nobles, who owed everything to

i their Tsar, felt called upon to lift a ringer,lin his defence. Not one of those unbear-I able tyrants, the C'hmvniki. gave a thought,

to protecting him." On the other hand,I when Bolshevism seized power in October

1 the expressed opposition was immediate'; and unanimous, in spite of which there

; was no. material check, and their power| grew instead of heme, as was thought.. merely temporary. Antonelli explains thisIby the education given bv war. I: had| changed the character of the workmen's

organisations Women, children, and: "non-qualified" workmen became th.? ma-! jority in all the munition factories. These

I new inexperienced elements, without poiseand without occupational stability, were

■ more hot-headed in their demands and less' reformist." The stage was set for revo-lutionary action. The February revolution

1 was the result of fad provisioning, but. i the people had no loaders. Kerenskv failed ., I to Uo3p his place, and when Bolshevism '

i suddenly appeared, -with its magic watch- 'word, "All the power to the Soviets," it

■ was i«e-echoed by the whole people alreadyprepared for it." The watchword was in-tended as a means: for the mass of thepeople it was an end. Overcome by the

l flood, the Bolshevist leaders instituted ter-rorism to secure sympathy from the mass.

Impressions at Petrograd.

i Arriving at Petrograd in April, 1918,the writer remarks upon the, orderly ap-pearance of the city, the shops open.

countr'es that include fungi 111 the 'lists of exports This little industry •

belongs almost exclusively to the Auck- .land Province, arid there is only onemarket. China, tor the product. Aus-tralia, New 11 uirica, and some of the ,Pacific island, patmpate in the trade, ;but New Zealand for many years has 'been its seat. Only one species offungus is exported, and it is the Jew's >ear, a parasite on forest trees. It. ISlike an expanded cup rr saucer, of abrownish colour On the inside, it is 1veined and plaited, and this, with its jshape, has earned for it its popu'ar name, !The name did not originate in New Zea- 1land. It was given to an allied species 1in the did Country. The English jspecies, in the literature of the fungi, is ,Hirneola auricular suaie. This means ,Judas' ear. not Jew's ear. A reference,I found accidentally in an o'd book, 'published sever?.! hundred years ago, ex- Iplains that the fungus grows on the [stumps of the elder tree, and that "it 1(oncerneth not the nation of the Jews, ]hut Judas Iscariot. on a conceit that he |hanged himself on this tree." The !Chinese use the New Zealand Jew's ear— 1the name, although a misnomer, must beretained in their so'yns and mi.x it ;with feme of their foods: and they holdit in high esteem as a medicine, hut ex- iperiments have failed to prove that it jhas any medicinal value. I

1 It is probable that a Chinese cook on |a whaling vessel, about one hundred 'years ago. wandering in the forests at !the Bay of Islands where the vessel had jput in for food and water, discovered the !fungus on some trees, and font a small ,consignment to his home, and in that way !

! started the industry. At first, the' fungus was exported in small quantities. .The demand from China soon increasedand as the plant was plentiful, and costlittle except for the labour of collatingit, which in some cases the Maoris under-took for a trifling consideration, the ex-port became a comparatively important ione. in the days of small things. Col-lectors later were paid one penny a poundfor it. The price was increased in somecases to twopence a pound, but this waspaid in barter more frequently than incash It is stated that the price in theretail shops in China now is about lOd apound, or more. The industry stems tohave reached the height of its prosperityin 1882. when the quantity of fungus ex-

: ported from New. Zealand was valued atJ £15.581. Last year, the value was

! £10,688, representing 3610 cwt.

I A chemical analysis made of this fungusin its dried condition shows '.ha'; it is

■ sineular'v poor in albuminoid substances,and differs remarkably in this respect

: from other edible fungi. It possesses,however. 70 per cent, of what are called

' the dieestib'e carbo-hydrates, and it is: presumed that this property, whichalways has had a fascination for theChinese, givs the fungus its chief valuein their eves. It has a relative inCentral Crrna. the "imi-e*h," whichgrows spontaneously on the bark of the

! wild cherry in that region. It is culti-; vated on rotten stems of the China oak,and is sunp'ied to many parts of China,

1 successfully competing with the New! Zealand Jew's ear.

I The strangest New Zealand fungus isthe vegetable caterpillar. It is found inalmost all parts of the Dominion. The

, stem grows out of the head of an earth-, dwelling caterpillar, whose body, whenI found, has been transformed from flesh

j into vegetable matter. The fungus, like1 the Jew's ear, has al'ies in China, and

also in ether countries, including Aus-I tralia. Brazil, Europe, the United States

i and Algeria. By fungologists they areI classed together in one genus, with the

; name Cordveeps, which refers to the club!at the end of the spore-hearing stem. In

1 former tunes it was believed that they' were insects that had been transmuted

1 into plants It is now known that they\ are para. plants that grow on insects,usually the caterpillar of a moth or butter-fly, subsist on the animal tissues, and des-troy the creature, hut retain its shape. It is

i believed that the plant's spores become; attached to the body of a caterpillar

i whe 1 it is moist, that they germinate in1 the body, and that they send out germ-

-1 tubes, which penetrate the thin outerskin of the caterpillar. They become en-larged, and take the form of thread-liketissues. These branch out and grow

: through the caterpillar's skin and into itsflesh and tissue. In the blood, they

j produce long cvlinder-like bodies, knownlas gonidia which are germinating cells.

The gonidia enlarge and divide andI develope until gradually, they kill the■unfortunate caterpillar They contin le

! to grow after its death.'and to absorb- its tissues, until only the skin remains.

I The soft tissues of the caterpillar thenhave been completely replaced by trietlnead like tissues of the vegetableparasite. Traces of the intestines, it hasbeer, reported, sometimes remain, but thebody of the caterpillar, when found,usually is a mass of interwoven thread-

, like vegetable tissues, with no trace ofthe form of the caterpillar's internalorgans. This form of the fungtni iscued a sclerotium. from the Creek wordskl-.T.■?-. hard. Most species of Cordveeps,in their careers, produce two kinds ofstems The tirst is somewhat short andbranchy, with a flowery* coral-like for-mation. The second is the long slenderstem with the club at the top, the casethat contains the spores. The first formseems '-> be rare The second form isthat 111 which the vegetable caterpillarusually is found in New Zealand. Thelargest and most noteworthy vegetablecaterpillar known is the New ZealandCordv.yps Taylori, first found by theRev K Taylor, an early missionary a'W.umate. eighty three years ago. It isthfk, and. instead of one slender stem,has nv.r.v branches The common New

'Zealand species is Cordveeps Robertsn.Its spores infect caterpillars of a moththat passes two sL.ges 0 ps existence in

: the earth near the riots of trees. A1 caterpillar infected is killed before itreaches the chrysalis stage. There »retwenty specimens of this species111 the Kev. Gardens. London.and the British Museum. andfive specimens in Paris. Few New Zea-land museums are without specimens Aspecimen of the rare branching form,growing from the head of the chrysalis of

a cicada, v. a? found op the West Coast of: the South Island a few months ago, and: now is in the Canterbury Museum.

I bout 160 species of vegetable caterpillarsj hare been named ; of those, New Zea-

land, probably, may claim four or five,but other species may be found in thiscountry.

GERMAN DEMORALISATION.. —.—.,� ■ i

WAVE OF RECKLESS GAIETY.

f ORGIES OP THE NEWLY RICH.4< Gftmajvy/; as. it is;to-day, is graphically

■'■■ described by the special correspondent of- London Evening Standard in Berlin. Re-*

ferring to the nightly round of reckless:. gaiety in which Germany's war profiteers

. are living, scattering their money in -hastein fear that the State will relieve them ofit, he says:—l return irresistibly to theamusements of Berlin's nouvea-u riche.

';. The sight of people suddenly swamped•J with mor,ey is always interesting. .The

- spectacle becomes exciting when such- ' people are living feverishly in the belief

that the period of their prosperity isstrictly limited, and that if theydo not scatter their fortunes dis-aster and taxes may save them the trouble.It is Brewster and his millions over again.

#

The war profiteers of Germany have thismuch in common with our home-grownvariety: They will make a nasty splash

• wherever they go. The women of the ex-treme type—'the only fat women in Ger-many— upholstered in costly fabrics(crepe de chine a la Botticelli with cloth-topped boots) and the men doing the heavy Iwith an acquired monocle, gazing round ,surreptitiously to discover the generally ac jcepted weapon with which to assault a jmysterious souffle, are good comedy with ja delicate flavour ofMofiere. i

Fortunately they represent a very small jsection of society! but it is the only sec- jtion which is having a "good time" now. j

The Way of the Food Hog. ~ !

Throughout the war. and even to-day,monev can buy most things in Germany,and the moneyed classes, if prepared toindulge in illegal food traffic, have notgone short at any time. It would surprise ,

• f Englishmen, who as a nation loyally stood [by 'the Food Controller during the war, torealise the amount, of money which therich and the newly rich in Germany spentin gathering for themselves at extortionateprices foods, chiefly butter, meat, eggs,sugar and bread, which should have beendistributed evenly among the ra-tioned population.' This illicit trad-ing; still ' goes, on and has helpedto reduce the vitality of the poorerpeople, especially the children because forvears farmers have been keeping back milkand making butter to sell 1to the food hogswho gladly paid 50 marks a lb when thelegal maximum was 1Q.94 marks.

Ration Robbers. '

; - J*

A'brief reference to this surprising viewof a nation so often pictured during thewar as self-denying and patriotic, is neces-

' - sarv to explain how the people with moneyto spend have managed to retain a vitalityfit to endure an orgy of night gaiety jwhile all around them are starved listless

' people, part >i whose rations they have jbeen stealing. i

The poor people in Berlin to-day cannotprocure eggs, yet in the American bar oSa West End hotel is a silver tub contain- ■ing about 50 to make brandy flips at los

';. a time. All the way from Hamburg you'*. do not see one head of cattle, yet diners'•' in a fashionable hotel are becoming sicki- of veal ! Tvie food hog and the profiteerZ have found a willing tool in the small

farmer, who, on his part, bitten by thesame lawlessness, refuses to be bound downby controlled prices.

Night Life Gaiety.•'■ Berlin's gaiety starts at the absurd hour*» of 7.30 p.m. At 10.30 p.m., candles and- lamps Teplace gas and electric light, and

at. 11 p.m. Berlin is theoretically closed:" down for the night. Noske has ordered

that all dance hal'ls must shut at thishour. The fact that he keeps a corps ofpolice pussyfooting about Berlin in thesmall hour's listening for the sound of

- violins and the popping of corks suggests,'? that he knows that the city is still riddled.; with all-night clubs whose patrons live;; in anticipation of a police raid.'. In one of these places I saw a man payJ a drink bill ;pf 1500 marks, which repre-"-: sented to him £75. When the leader of

the little orchestra came to him and playeda popular waltz he threw him 500 marks.

Such a person would be disgusting evenin a country where the majority of thepeople are not.starring.

GERMAN MUSIC.

PROTEST BY AUDIENCE,

SCENE AT LONDON CONCERT.jjphat has been predicted by regular

London concert-goere • for a long timebaa taken place— protest from theaudience against German music. ■

In the programme of nearly every or-chestral concert of late German compo-sitions have been prominent, if not inthe majority, and although members ofthe audience heid strong views on thesubject they have tolerated instrumentalwhere they would not have toleratedvocal German.

But the German language waß offeredexclusively by M. Mischa-Leon in a-classical song recital at the Aeolian Hall,in New Bond Street. He had repeatedthe first line of his first item, Beethoven's" Adelaide," when a gentleman in. thecentre stalls rose and said "I protestagainst this abuse of a British hall."

Cheers and hisses greeted the protest,but other dissenting voices were heardfrom all parts of the hall."Sing in English—we will not have the

Hun language here," shouted someone."You ought to be ashamed of your-

selves," retorted a sympathiser with thevocalist. "Call yourselves Englishmen?What about fair play?"

Appealing to several young men in thebalcony, a man callsd :

" Come on, the. I'hland Brigade."

Mischa-Leon attempted to speak, but allhe could be heard saying was, ''l am aDane, and relatives of mine fought in theBritish army. I sing these songs for the!uve of art."

Mme. Mischa-Leon, who got up to re-monstrate v.ith interrupters near by wassold to sit down and, fearing that shewas to be molested, her husband leapedfrom the platform crying, "Leave mywife alone; leave her 'alone."

After further spirited protests, the man-ager of the hall prevailed upon the inter-rupters to desist or leave, and the pro-gramme was continued—in German.

TELEPHONIC CHAOSNEW YORK'S TROUBLE'S.

BREAK-DOWN OP SYSTEM. ,; JThe ; telephone service, once the ad-

miration of the -whole world, and partial-larly of visitors from London, has fallengrievously from its former state ofmiraculous efficiency, writes a correspond-ent from. New York. For more than ayear past, in fact ever since the Armistice,if. has been steadily and rapidly deterior-ating, until to-day there is no more de-spised and abused institution in the world.

Cartoonists daily make the telephonethe target of their sneers. One, of themost striking of their recent pictures de-picts an exasperated New York citizenviciously hurling the telephone receiverthrough the window.

Only this week a disastrous fire occuredin the metropolis, in which a lady andtwo children were burned to death, owingto the fact, it is alleged, that nobodywas able to give the alarm through thetelephone, though several neighbours vain-ly trisjd for 20 minutes to connect withthe fire brigade.

The vice-president of the company, Mr.J. S. Mcculloch, in view of this catas-trophe, has issued a plea for mercy tothe public. He admits that the service isbad, and cannot promise any real im-provement for many months. Accordingto him. the daily average of calls in NewYork before the war was 2.000.000. Thisnumber had increased to 4,000,000 on thefirst of the present year. Yet all throughthe war the telephone industry was classi-fied as non-essential, with the result thatthe company was unable to make new extensions to meet the amazing growtr oftraffic. To add t0 its difficulties, its itaftof operators is short by 3.1300. The ice-pres'dent announces that the company in-tends to spend during the next 12 morths£7,200,000 in establishing new exchangesand to add £400,000 to the amount of itspay-roll.

Meanwhile, be makes an urgent appeal;especially to the women of New York tocease their habit of gojsp'ng endlesslyover tho telephone, end of monopolisingthe wires with riffraff conversation. Hisproposed plan of eliminating useless callsby instructing each operator to inquire ofevery customer, "Is your call essential ?"

has, however, only brought a fresh stormo! maledictions upon the company. Leaderwriters point out that the sa<rirest*d in-

quiries would merely add to the existingconfusion and lose time. Whereas beforethe war about five seconds was theaverage time consumed in establ'shingconnection over the telephone it now fre-quently takes 10 minutes, and "Sometimesmuch longer, to attract the attention ofthe operator.

New York has been observing with griminterest the complaints of London, andhas come to the conclusion that the con-ditions in England cannot be one-quarteras exasperating as they are here, wheresubscribers, though unable to obta'n thoconnections they call, are daily, timeswithout number, rung up by people whoangrily shout "wrong number; get offthe 'phone."

GIRL AS CABIN BOY.

DISCOVERY ON A STEAMER.

A SUCCESSFUL MASQUERADE.The mate told the captain.They were steaming through the Suez

Canal on their return from the Far Eastafter a leisurely voyage, which had begunat Cardiff in the tramp steamer theynavigated.

"The cabin boy's a girl," said themate.

They had been weeks on the way anddidn't know they had a girl on board.The mate was only suspicious. So the" boy" was sent for and questioned. |

He" confessed, he o'ught really* to bein a skirt.

Special cabin quarters were set apartfor the adventurer; and the captain de-cided to put her off at the first Englishport.

Her old mates were amazed by the tarnevents had taken, but the girl adaptedherself to the new situation with a broadsmile and a shrug of the shoulders.

"She was game, a boy to the last,"said a seafaring acquaintance. " Sholooked a clumsy girl in petticoats whenshe was in an upstair room in the Bride-well court at Bristol," where she waseventually landed.

On arrival, the captain had asked thepolice what he should do with his unusualcharge. "Put her ashore and leave the

| reft to us," was the advice.The girl was arrested for wandering

without visible means of subsistence; shewas passed to the care of kindly ladies,who saw that she was suitably providedfor: and all went well.

" So far as appearances went, she made: a better boy than a girl," said a seaman.I " About seventeen years of age and ofI robust build, she was a loose-limbed,

slouching boy, as careless and happy-go-lucky as the average sea cub.

Her features were' chubby, and overher close-cropped hair she wore herpeaked cap at a jaunty tilt. She hadpicked up sailors' way 3 after being gomemonths on a voyage. Her voica hadroughened, yet though she had the rough-'and-tumble ways you would expect in alad taking to the sea, she was a well-behaved lass. No one could say a wordagainst her on th?', score."

It seems that we " cabin boy" signedon at Cardiff, where her relativesa'e-scribed as working-class people—lived.

THE PRINCE OF WALES WELCOMED AT CERISTCHURCH BY THE MAYOR, DR. THACSER, M,P.

THE CRAZE FOR AMUSEMENT.

VIEWS OF THE REV. F. B. MEYER.In his presidential address at the annual

assembly of the National Council of theEvangelical Free Churches at Leicester, theRev. Dr. Meyer said that the whole worldseemed possessed with the craving for gain.The soaring prices, endless strikes forhigher pay, the profiteering vampire suck-ing the national blood, and the extrava-gance of tho new rich were all symptomaticof the recrudescence of materialism. Theywere staggered by crimes of violence, dueprobably to the abnormal excitement of thewar. Careful statistics, indicative of thepersistent limitation of family life, sug-gested race degeneration. The brutalitiesof the ring, the immodesty of fashion, thesensuou&ncss of the dance, the substitu-tion of spiritualism for religion, the crazefor amusement, the ostentatious extrava-gance of the profiteer, must give allthoughtful people cause for anxiety..

Crowded theatres and picture showsstimulated the appetite for the startltngand the sensational, and the craving oftendegenerated into a restless search for freshexcitement to titillate an exhausted andglutted appetite. It was not tho Church'sbusiness to vie with the dancing masteror the dancing academy.

"Tn one way or another," Dr. Meyercontinued, "man is always a fighting ani- [mal. Of late we have had unpleasant lexplosions of this spirit in degrading prize irights, more politely phrased boxing eon- 'tests, which are patronised bv so-called '

.ladies bent on emulating the'wives audidaughters of the Roman nobility, who'i crowded the Colosseum in the darkest days :•f the empire. We must call the nation'back to God. The rest day is threatened. 'the churches are depleted. spiritism is ■[ousting -pint,;ihtv, the thin veneer of

i theism is replaiintf Christianity, the basis:, of morals is utilitarianism, and the vast'preponderance of our people have less re- |

| i gmri than the Hindu or the Kaffir" I

AIRGIRL LOOPS THE LOOP.

Mile. ;.Vollowd;. the French airgirl whorecently created a stir by travelling 125miles to Paris from her home at LeCrptoy,' has again distinguished herselfby looping the loop. This is said to bethe first time that this feat has been per-formed by a woman pilot.

THE SHAVIAN VOCABULARY."I don't seen any profane or,obscene lan-

guage here. These are only the classicalwords used by George Bernard Shaw,"saids the Plymouth magistrate's clerk,when Ellen Taylor was charged with usinjj,bad language. The case was dismissed,the woman being advised to avoid "classi-cal" phraseology.

MOST POPULAR OEM.

"If they knew how much sentiment andhuman interest thore is associated with-U-.epurchase of precious stones, the publicwould be astonished." said a jewel e.\pe;tto a London paper. Asked what was themost) popular stono to-day, he said: Onthe part of women the- demand is 75 percent, lor diamonds. They are hign'ysuperstitious about their gems, Some saythat rubies bring danger by fire, or othersthat the emerald is likely to cause an un-lucky engagement, while it is commonjviiowledge that manv think the opal peculiarly unlucky." i

FIRST HIGH SEAS BANK.During the voyage from New York of

the ex-German liner lmperator, whichrecently arrived at Southampton, a highlysuccessful banking experiment- was con-ducted on beard. This is the first seabank that has been opened, and althoughno details of the transactions on boardcan be given, it is admitted by theofficials that a very large sum of moneywas handled. Wireless was employed intransmitting money to passengers. Forinstance, a voyager who ran short sent awireless to his bankers in London, and aMarconigram was despatched to the ship'sbank, authorising the money to headvanced.

HINDENBURO IDOL.

The 'colossal statue of Hindcnburg,idolised by the public of Berlin, whichwas encouraged to drive nails into it, at ja price, in support of war charities/ hasbeen sold to America for exhibition pur- |poses. German monarchist circles arehorrified at this prospect of such an igno jminious end to the wooden Hindenburg, .and questions have been addrsssed to ,the Government as to the " measures ,which it proposes to take to protect this jsymbol of a great German epoch." j

A CHIMNEY-TOP RESCUE.The King has awarded the Edward

Medal to Charles Whelpton. Edward Nay-lor, and Horace Bell, under the followingcircumstances:—While, engaged at the topof a chimnev 150 feet high at the AtlasWorks, Sheffield, last Auguvl, a steeple-jack was overcome by fumes. Whelpton,Naylor and Bell, who wore not steeple-jacks, but had formerly been used to work-ing at a height, at once ascended theladder, and on reaching the top, whichwas only nine inches wide, they appliedartificial respiration to the unconsciousman for twenty minutes and then, withgreat difficulty, lowered him to the groundin a canvas ambulance sling.

LOVE SECRET IN A POEM.

The love secret of a wealthy Chicagobusiness man, a former officer in the.American army, and a beautiful divorcee,whose bodies were found side by side inthe latter's flat, was revealed by the silentevidence of the woman's diary and theman's cheque counterfoils. Whet authori-ties first believed to be a suicide pact isnow thought to be a murder and suicide.Scrawled in a page of a diary in thewoman's handwriting was a poem, whichis believed to be the key to the mystery :

Sleep, my beloved, sle«p;Bo patient, wo shall keepOur secret closo'y hidBeneath the coffin lid.

Other evidence led to the conclusionthat -the man, tired of his dual life,threatened to leave his paramour, withthe result that she shot him as he slept,then sent a bullet through her own biain.

MAN HUNT IN THE ALPS.An Italian named Coratoni oPCarolini,

formerly an Alpine guide and now a work-j man, who is a native of Courmayeur,

! stabbed a comrade three times with a.! dagger, in a brawl at Martigny. The-i.' thinking that his victim was dead, lie' started for homo on skis across the MerI lie Glace above Chamonix. As he had' cightpe.i hours' start, a party of guinea' following him lost lus traces. In the

meantime Chamonix informed the Ital'in; authorities, who sent up two patrols t->

- waUh the Col du (leant, 10,915 feet higri.One of the Italian patrols, all on skis,

: entered a hut shelter meant for Alpinistsin digress, where they found Coratoni

ieainfv citing tinned food. He said hewas freezing and had thrown away insj dagger. His trousers were covered witn

I congealed blood. Coratoni was hand-' cuffed and led by tho patrol down by the

shortest routes across the snow paths from, an altitude of nearly 11,000 feet safely! to Courmayeur, where he was formally

• ! ai rested and incarcerated pending his trial.) In the event of the death of his victim,1 nig extradition will be demanded by tho

, French Government. This feat of the> French and Italian Alpine police in hi 'hI mountains is greatly admired. "

SHORT STORIES.THECHILD WHO WAS WISE,

A, gentleman took hie,little daughterto a toy-shop to buy her a doll. "Now,what sort of a . doll would you like, mydear?" said he, as a large assortment wadplaced on the counter by the shopman., After some hesitation the little miss re-

plied : ''l think I'll have twins, please."

WORSE STILL.Typographical errors are regrettable

Sometimes they are annoying. But theyare nothing more nor less than the erroraof the business. A Southern (U.S.A.).editor wanted to compliment a certainKentucky colonel, and wrote of him as &

"battle-scarred veteran." Tho typesettermade it read "battle-scared." The colonelcalled, armed and ferocious, and the editorpromised to mako amends, This is howit looked when it found its way into type :

"Wo referred to Colonel Bang as 8i'battle-scored veteran.' Of course, all whoknow the colonel will understand wecould only .have meant 'bottle-scarred'veteran."

The editor now sleeps with his toesto the daisies.

THE "DRESSMAKERS."Apropos of funny notices displayed in

shops, the following, which appeared in avillage in the Emerald Isle, is distinctlyquaint.

The village boasted two rival establish-ments—drapers—which supplied the neigh-bouring femininity with all it was sun-posed to want. One shop suddenlylaunched out into white letters on onewindow with the magic word " Cor-set ierc!' 1

Not to be outdone, the rival establish-ment promptly had painted over the en-tire windows "Dressmnkeie, milliner?.and underclothierel"

GIVING DADDY AWAY.Mr. Daniels, the minister, was being

entertained,at dinner. Lttle Ralph wasallowed to be present.

"Do you always say your prayers atnight, my little man?" asked the guest.

"Yes was the boy's prompt reply, "andmother does, too,"

"That's ' right. And your father sayshis, too, doesn't he?"

"No," said Ralph, "he doesn't have tosay any prayers."

"Why, what do you mean?" asked theminister.

'''He doesn't have to,' repeated thech Id, "because he never gets home till it'sbroad daylight, and then what is there topray about?",

A SCOTCH CALAMITY.

A group of Scotchmen, at a certaingolf club, were .wont to foregather andplay a fouxrome every afternoon. One ofthem, such an inveterate devotee thathe had not missed a day in years, sud-denly absented himself for ten days. Hisfriends grew apprehensive. F'nally oneof the four met him on the street down-town.

"Have you been ill, Mac?" he asked."The boys are quite worried."

He received a negative headshake foran answer.

"It can't he that you have beenoffended or lost interest in t'e came?"

"No," Mic replied with finality, "I'velost my ball."

i BUSINESS WITH PLEASURE.Kstelle: "Did you have a good time

at the dance last night?"Muriel: ''Not too bad.""Who was that handsome fellow I saw

yon with just after the interval?""He was introduced to mo by the M.C.

He's a stranger in town,""Dashing isn't he?"" Nerviest chap I have ever seen.""I noticed he had his arm rather tightly

about you.""Do you know why he clutched mo that

way?" demanded Muriel, a light of furyin her eyes.

"No."""Well, would you believe it, he held me

so firmly that I couldn't escape, and allthe time we were dancing he was tryingto get me to insure my life."

A DECEIT THAT FAILED.A man started out the other evening to

the annual dinner of his angling club, andfaithfully promised his wife that he wouldbe home early. Unfortunately he wasrather behind his time on arriving homo,having called at a friend's house on theway in order to see the said friend's newbait can. Gently he opened the front doorwith his latchkey, and stepped inside. Itwas very skilfully done until he happenedto kick a hall chair, when a gentle voicewas beard calling drowsily from the upperplane:

" Is that you, John?""Yes dear," he replied, as cheerfully

as he thought the occasion demanded." But you're very late, John ?" the voice

went on." Oh, no, dear— at all; it's only

just twelve o'clock," John replied. Thatwould have been alright, only John hadscarcely got the words out of his mouth,when tho cuckoo clock in the hall attemp-ted to give the show away by cuckooingonce. With admirable presence of mindJohn immediately cuckooed eleven timesmore to.make up the dozen, and all waswell. At least all was well until break-fast time, when, as John was leaving thetable to depart for the office, his wife ob-served :

" Oh, John, I wish you'd take thecuckoo clock into town with you and leaveit at tho clock-maker's."

"But, why the dickens—l— tknow there was anything the matter withthe clock. What's amiss?""I don't know," replied his wife

sweetly, "I can't think what's come overit; but when it struck twelve last night, I

| distinctly heard it hiccough twice."

THE GARDEN.TREE DAHLIAS.

The vasieties Leslie and imperialis arothe most conspicuous of the flowering*plants in the garden at the present time.The first-named attains a height of tenfeet and upwards, and produces the great-est abundance of large bell-shaped, pen-dant blossoms of a beautiful, shade ofpinkish lilac. The imperialis producessmaller bell-shaped white flowers. Flower-,ing at this late season they are most ac-ceptable and contrast with the autumntints. Maximilliana is another species oftree-dahlia that is almost evergreen withpurple flowetg that are freely producedalmost throughout the winter. Being tallgrowers they should be planted in well-sheltered positions.

Rock Gardens.

The rock garden should receive athorough overhaul, rooting out some ofthe old plants that have become toomuch matted at the roots and have im-poverished the soil, Take out some ofthe old soil replacing it with' a fresh com-post, rich or otherwise, according to therequirements of the new occupants. At thetime any improvements that may bo con-templated, such as increasing or reducingthe size of the pockets and rearrangingthe stones,* should be accomplished. Homeslight change is always pleasing andcreates a liesh interest. Many of theplants aro peimasient and must not bedisturbed. They are mostly deep-rootingand derive their nourishment from below,and need only a light top dressing.

Bu!b3 in -Rocksries.Anemones, ranunculi, freesias, ixias,

Incheiiiilins, ii few daffodils that areslender growers, ryciiimeng, tulips, Span-ish and other irises thrive well in thero-k»ry aid greatly add to the floral d:s-plav. ' Lobelias are never out of placeand nearly always in flower. A coolplace with a southerly aspect may bofound for a clump of lily of the valley.After the bulbs have done flowering andpartly ripened off. they should be takenno and their places filled with summerflowering plants, of which there arc in-numerable varieties to select from, in-cludiii? : meeembryanthemums gazamas,begonia semperflorens, kalosnnthes coc-ripen, dwarf-growing campanulas arabis,rielar"nnums, lantanas, phloxnelsoni, rcar-lpt sn'v'aa, shnibbv calceolarias, geums,heii( herds, cuuid platycentra, dwarf na-sturti'ins, rnimulus, agathea collestis.statical, d'p'opapnus, plrctranthus. vitta-d"": triloba litnospcrmum, prostratum.and many others.

Orthodox Reck Plants.

Every rockery collet lion sliuiitd com-'prise some ol the follow ,nn : mtscmbryan- Jthemums or ice-plants of wuijtis colours,sedums in variety, ivl:c»en..s, Kugl'sh ir- iisi'a, saxifritgas. polygonum riqitMis. fuchsi:i iprociimbens, cerastium, funs m m na,dwarf aloes, gazanias, dwarf campanulas,lobelias, primroses, polyanthus, wallflow-ers, etc. Suitable annuals and b'er.niahfor present planting are nlonsoa antirrhi-nums, dimorphothocas, candytufts, nvmu-Ins, shirley poppies, larkspurs, pnnsies, 'sphenogyne, and a few others inrliid: ngstock. Places too, may be found for ,cinerarias.

Dahlias and Chrysanthemums.Dahlias are about over for the season;

the continuous wet and occasional verycold nights has brought the flowering-season to a close. The tops must be al-lowed to partially ripen off before cuttingthem down to about 9 inches from theground, preparatory to lift/'ng the clumps.and placing them in winter quarters, dis- icarding those that have/ been noted down |for elimination. Chrysanthemums haveflowered better than was anticipated.Very late kinds, hotablv, goodgraciniis,Mrs. W. Snv'th, Lilian 13. Bird, and afew others still provide a good show of ,bloom and arc most useful for cutting .now that flowers are becoming so scarce. 'After the plants have completed theirflowering they should he cut brick to the ,ground. They should be carefully weededif allowed to remain in the old beds, or itaken up and transferred to a place where !the soil is light and dry.

VEGETABLE SEASON.Owing to the heavy rains and wet con-

dition of the soil, little could be done in :this department, beyond clearing awaythe refuse of spent crops, so that digging ■and trenching may be resumed when thesoil is again in a fit condition for work-ing. At this time there is always moresparo ground requiring attention than atBuy other season. The removal of suchcrops as pumpkins, marrows, melons,cucumbers, kumaras, tomatoes and others, jnaturally creates large spaces that should [on no account be left undug throughoutthe winter. As soon as the soil is sum- .ciently dry for working, the whole of theground should be deeply dug or trenched jover.

Green Crops lor Humus. jAny of the ground that will not be re- '

quired for planting before spring should i'be sown in oats, vetches, or other green |crops, that will assist to keep down Iweeds, and prevent the soil from being ■beaten hard by the heavy winter rains. |Such crops can be cut for green feed if Irequired, or dug in to the ground to pro- Ivide humus for future crops, Advantagemust he taken of fine weather to hoe. Iweed, and clean between all growing crops.Pumpkins, marrows, and melons if notalready harvested, should be taken in atonce, before any severe frost is experi-enced. Cut hack the tops of asparagus. |and remove all weeds from the bed, but idefer manuring until early spring.

CITRUS FRUITS.There are few fruit trees that require

more care in planting and their afterculture, than the citrus family, and asthe season of planting these has now

(practically commenced, a lew hints, par- i

ticularly to the amateur planter, may beuseful The cultivation of citrus fruitsin the Auckland Province, as well as ina few warm parts of the South is nolonger in the experimental stage; manythousands of trees, particularly lemons,,are being planted each year, and theircultivation bids fair to become one of theleading fruit industries of the North. Butin addition to the large numbers grownfor commercial purposes, almost everycottager can, with a few plants, growsufficient fruit to meet requirements.

Planting Citrus Trees.

In planting lemons, oranges, or any ofthe citrus family, it is of great import-ance to have the ground thoroughly pre-pared, and if the subsoil is of a stiffclay nature, thorough drainage must beprovided for.- The holes prepared for theplants should be filled with the best soilobtainable, decayed vegetable matter isan excellent material for mixing with thesoil. One important thing in plaintingall the citrus family is not to covjer theroots too deep in the soil; in fact th*safest plan is to place the roots levelwith the surrourfulng surface, so thatafter the roots have been covered theplants will bo raised upon a slight mound,rlefore planting examine the roots andshorten back any that have been bruisedor injured bv the spade in lifting andif the plant 'has a tap-root, it should boshortened back. The roots should becovered with good soil, working the soilbetween the roots so that there should beno hollow spaces!

Oare Of Citrus Trees.

\fter p'anting the trees should besecurely staked—the fact of the plantsbeing ' raised upon a slight moundwill naturally make them more liable tobe swayed by the winds, unless securelystaked." When planted in gardens, whenvegetable or other crops are grown, caremust be taken not to dig or work theuround deeply too near the plants.Citrus fruits when established and growingfreely are naturally surface rooting, andare easily damaged by deep work, Lighthoeing, or better still, hand weeding willbe necessary to keep the ground aroundthe plants fre,s from weeds, and in springmulching with manure or other suitablematerial is most beneficial. When oncethe trees arrive at the fruiting stage,they require, and must have, plenty ofnourishment to enable them to cdntinueto give satisfactory 'results. Under goodcultivation it is astonishing the yield offruit that cm be taken from healthy,vigorous trees during the year, but it isat this time that they natura'ly requirea'l the care and assistance that, can begiven them.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.' L.K., Epsom: 'Arundo conspicua, nativetoc:oe, is the name of the piant that youhave mistaken for pampas grass. It is in-digenous to New Zealand and conspicuous forits numerous plumes of flowers. It growsin dnnso tufts and is very plentiful in tho IWellington, Province, and very attractive !.vhon in flower. Gyneriuni argentemn (pam- jnas grassi belongs to the same order, andis a native of South America. There is a =variety of this with purplish-coloured flowers. ,'"Intelnst»d": The large white-seeded hi- I [pin referred to, and recommended as one | .

of the best of the legumes for sowing in the ; ,autumn to smother weeds and to dig under - 1in the spring, is ft very strong grower, at- Itainin? a height of several feet and branch- Iins out. The roots are rich in nitrogen, con-sequently valuable 'or green manuring. Thegrowing scarcity of stable and other animal Imanures necessitates recourse to substitute? ifor sowing to grow and dig under. The seeds lof tho lupines may be sown, in rows about '18in or 2ft apart and Sin or 9in between 'each in the rows. Winter vetches may be (thinly sown amongst tho lupines. The two iwill make a dense cover and smother other iweeds, and also keep winter rains from bat- 'tering the surface. Lupines are of no value 'for-fodder. Seeds may be procured from the |

I various seedsmen. i ,11

I "Orchordist," Thames: Old pear trees that ' 'have become infested with scale insects and 'tho fusicladium species of fungus that causes [the skin of tho pears to contract and crack ,and exhibit black spot, such as you com- •plain about and have accurately described, ! Ishould be treated at once. Of tha various '

i solutions, caustic soda will be found the most Ieffective used at a strength of B.b to 50 ,I gallons of soft water, and applied with a, .suitable spray pump upon a fine clear day, j Iwith a second dressing in parly spring, just ' ii as the buds are beginning to swell, will ■ [have a wonderful effect upon the trees, giving j

the bark a smooth glazed appearance and i ,i cleansing it horn parasitic as well as tun- i 1goid germs. This is' a very simple and efiec- : itive remedy. I [

G.L , Ponsonby: Many of the herbaceous ; 'perennials disappeai during the winter, j (cwing to the wetness of the soil, and also (to tho ravages of slugs which attack any I ,young shoots, in your wet cold clay Boil. j'Perennial phloxes, delphiniums, chrysanthe- imums, doroni6ums, hcucheras, are others Ithat vou invariably lose during the winter

and early spring. Your best plan will be to ,lift all the plants and replant close together Iin shallow boxes, or in a bed where tho lisoil has been specially prepared, well-drained, Iand partially jhe'tered from rains.

• The potato is easily the most impor-tant of all vegetables. It would be pos-sible, though not palatable, to live fora while entirely on potatoes, milk, andbread. Then let us make an effort toproduce even more potatoes this yearthan we produced last. There are threedistinct classes of potatoes—-second earlies, and main crops. The pota-

[ toes should he planted twelve inched; apart and there should be two feet be-

i tween the rows. Main crop potatoes re-i quire greater space— two and a

} half feet between the rows. Do not1 plant diseased potatoes; a healthy potato■ should have sturdy green shoots, aboutone inch long. Where there are plentyof shoots, the potatoes can be cut intotwo or three pieces, and the pieces plant-ed separately. Each piece should have a

i couple of ;sood shoots, Weak shoots may|be rubbed off. About a fortnight afterplanting the surface of the soil shouldbe levelled. When the plants are aboutsix inches high they must receive theirfirst " earthing \jp," the soil being drawn

| up almost to the tips of the leaves, insteep inclines. A second earthing up isnecessary when the plants grow tall.When eventually digging the potatoes out

( of the ground, be careful not to spearl them through, with your fork.

ened by her wide experience in studiowork. Usually when a star wanders intomotion pictures and returns to the stage

■* the critics delight in pointing out howher technique has suffered from close con-

An American film producer considersthat London and its environs can be doveloped as a film-producing centre just as

. easily as was Los Angeles. When no firstwent to California about seven years agoto produce a picture featuring Mary Pick :ford, he had no little difficulty in filling acist ofnot more than ten or twelve people.Now Los Angeles, which is given over en-tirely to moving pictures,.boasts a popula-tion of 50,000 people. Light and climatedo not play such an important part in pic«ture production now as they did then.Studio lighting arrangements have beeii sovastly improved that it does not matterwhether a picture is taken in liondon orCalifornia,

< The German Counts have prohibitedthe author of, and principal performer in,a film called "Kaiser Wilhelm's Fortuneand Fate" from showing the picture.Counsel for the ex-Kaiser made the appli-cation, which was for destruction o"f thefilm and all negatives connected with it.According to German law, the likenesses

- of living persons can only be exhibited tothe public gaze with the consent of theportrayed. Counsel, for the producerstated that the ex-Kaiser took exceptionto his representation as a painter, as con-ductor of the ballet " Sardanapal" at theOperaHouse, and as a composer, as woll asto a picture showing him in the hands ofhis hairdresser. Other scenes represented

* the ex-Kaiser giving an address to re-| cruits in 1891, with the commencing words,5 " You must shoot on father and mother,"; and the "Fatal Hour of the Kaiser,"-where in a dream he sees his ancestors; passing before him. Finally the last

By the by, there's one man who wants tomarry you," Churfton said with a grin,and went on to tell of what had hap-pened at the interview with Crosby, whileBetty listened with growing anger. "

-;"Marry that little whipper-snapper.

Dad, we'll fight him. I must see thatnew-engine of ours—tell me about it,"she said peremptorily.

He obeyed, making his language asBeverly technical as possible, but she ap-peared to take it all in, and nodded, herhead approvingly.

"It sounds good to me," she remarked,when he had finished.

"So it must be all right. ... Ifit is a success the credit will be due toyoung Lendridge. , Most of the improvements are his. I intend to give him a1 junior partnership very shortly."

WINTER FASHIONS.

Far, fur, more fur, ; everywhere and Uponeverything, and.yet (says a correspondent)never has fur been more expensive. j In«really beautiful pelts of rarer animals .aresimply not to be found nowadays; war.conditions having made such % things un-obtainable. Soothe furriers have had .to.;fall back upon imitation furs, or ; ratherupon substitutes, as those made of theskins of tie rabbit, the rat, and even thecommon domestic "pussy." But there is

to be a reaction. Beally smart "elegantesare tired of cheap substitutes. One findsthat the Parisienne has decided to do awaywith fur altogether. It may be also thatwoollen materials, being so expensive, areccmiidered beautiful when worn alone andunadorned. But, be these things: as,theymay, the smart wrap-coat of the true ele-gante is now ■ fashioned of verybeautiful—also very costly—woollenmaterial, and has no trimming butitself. Severe and simple silk stitching suf-fices, and all there may be of fur in thetrimming is 'a mere necklet—of the nar-rowest, and tightest kind—' is justtwisted around the throat, forming a sortof edging to the top of the collar. TheSmart woman relies for her effect uponquality of material and cut and style, alsoupon linings, which must be rich in effect.But. all useless trimmings that are meretrimmings are eschewed. Since embroideryhas become so generally adopted, it hasalso been defuse by the smarter arid morefastidious Carers.

When coats of thiskind are made of thick silk jersey-cloththe general effect is excellent, especiallywhen the garment is almost knee lengthand bordered with fur, but some of thelatest models are short, tight,- 5and prim.Short coats in cloth or velvet have neverproved becoming to the average figure,it seems a pity to bring them in just now,but we can console ourselves with theknowledge that wraps are more picturesquethan ever— more voluminous. Manyof the new coats—and all the best wraps—have enormous collars—fur. or clothedged with fur. Some of these collarstako cape form; others are Medicis; othersagan are cut straight, made as supple aspossible and then draped round the neckin scarf fashion.

f:The Saturday evening ;. socials inaugu-rated by the Women's, Club are provinga great attraction, especially to those who

.have little chance of; enjoying the club'sprivileges ,'during the ; week, '; and ■ lastSaturday there was quite a goodly gather-ing of members. The rooms looked vervinviting, decorated •as ' they wore withmasses of 1 autumn flowers. The hostesseswere Mesdames McGregor and Merrett,and the Misses Norrjsn, Marriner andMiller. Musical items given by MesdamesMcCalliim and Ingram,, and by the MissesSchofield and Nicholas contributed muchto the success.of the evening.

; The literary circle of the Women's Clubheld its monthly meeting on Wednesdayevening, Mrs. Carr Rolleit presiding. Inspite of the inclemency of the weatherand the prevalence of influenza therewas a fairly good attendance of members,and a very interesting evening was spentin the reading and discussion of extract*from the work of the best modorn war-poets. Mrs. Duncan read an appreciativeand illuminating paper on the mostnotable writers of war-time verse, illus-trating her points by the reading of apbselections and favourite passages fromtheir work. Several other members alsocontributed brief papers on such well-known modern poets as Oxenham, ServiceRupert Brooke. Leon Gellert, NoyesAsquith and Patrick JfcGill. The studyof writers as varied in temperament andliterary style as these cannot fail to re-veal how widely different aspects of warappeal to different types of imagination.The verse of some throbs with' pity andtenderness, that of others is instinct with

'hope and comfort; and so in the; work ofthese men we glimpse in turn somethingof the passion and the pain, the horrorand the splendour, the tragedy and theglory of war. There are many writerswho never attain to their full powers,who are never stirred to their deepestdepths except under the spur of strongemotion or the stimulus of a terriblecrisis. It is only natural, therefore, thatthere should be many soldier-poets, manyhitherto half-developed writers whose im-agination was kindled to white heat andwhose smouldering genius was fanned intoflame by the horror and the immensityof a\war that set the whole of Europeablaze, . , , v' .\,

One of the strongest points in the pro-posed education reform scheme as out-lined by the Hon. 0. J. Parr, is thenecessity for intermediary schools to meetthe needs of'such children as either can-not or do not wish to attend secondaryor technical schools, Under the presentsystem there are many children who,when they leave school cannot be said•to be educated at all. Having at thattime evinced neither sufficient ability northe inclination . for any special study tojustify their continuing their education ata secondary _ school, they go home tosettle down into a monotonous existenceor -to drift' aimlessly into whatever formof occupation happens to present itself.Others in" like cast as to tastes and men-tal qualifications spend a futile year ortwo at a secondary school, acquire asmattering of Latin and algebra, botany

I and geometry, which in future life theywill never require '■: and the use of whichthey' discern' either dimly or not at all,and finally leave, if anything, more un-fitted than before for whatever work inlife they may have to take up. In allprobability they will merely help to swellthe vast army of "square pegs," whohave never found their true vocations,or have found them too late.

For such as these in particular .the in-termediary school would be -of.* inestimablebenefit. Careful investigation and train-ing,would probably, bring to light unsus-pected; talents'or latent gifts -which hadnever <« revealed themselves in earlierschool-days, but which, if intelligently de-veloped and, encouraged, might ensure acareer of usefulness to others and happi-ness to the possessor such as would inthe ordinary way never have beenbroughtabout. There is no doubt at present-too much time is spent m teaching chil-dren subjects for wh'ch they have not theslightest aptitude, -which they will neveruse to advantage in after days, and whichmerely tend to destroy their individualityand develop, a uniform mediocrityamoncst them. In England there are nowactually in existence schools which haveseriously adopted the system of allowingthe pupils to take exactly what subjectsthey please. If a girl has talent fordrawing and wishes to draw all. day. sheis encouraged to do so, on the theorythat she will best fulfil her destiny byattaining the greatest perfection in the■work for which she is best adapted.

While such a system, carried to suchextremes, would seem likely to be pro-ductive of more harm than good, at thesame time it shows the trend of advanoedopinion is in the direction rff allowingchildren to specialise and so find oat theirtrue yocat; ons. Even in the case of!children who show no special aptitudein any otic direction, however, the inter-mediary school would give those who aTedull or slow in developing a chance to"find themselves;" and if it succeeded inteaching them low to think and how toeducate themselves it would have donea great deal for them. Lack of independ-ence in their work, the tendency to relyon books or on the help of others insteadof on their own mental powers—in short,intellectual laziness, is the -worst faultof modern school-children. Consequentlythey leave school with no idea of seekingand finding enjoyment in the work of thegreat classical writers, no thought ofdeveloping mental interests for them-selves, no suspicion of the fact that theirreal education is only just beginning andthat an independent mental existence l ;obin their own hands. In "The Water-Babies," thincrs were made to mnknthemselves. The intermediary school willhave done a crreat thine if it educatestho modern child to educate itself.

An association was reeentfy formed inWellington for the purpose, not only ofsolving the problem of insufficient domes-tic help, but also of raising the statusand improving the conditions of th'swork in such a way as to make it at-tractive to many who now dislike it.Given definite and regular working hours,reasonable working conditions and a com-munity centre where they could actuallylive or could gather together as club-members, girls who are now dissatisfiedwould probably find their objections todomestic work melting away. As for theharassed seekers of help, there are many•who have reached the stage of feelingthat they would be profoundly thankfulfor any help at all, especially as helpgiven under the suggested, conditionswould probably be much more ef-ficient than much that is given now.If the whole position were readjusted,and employers and employees reached areasonable and practical basis of agree-ment, there is no reason, why a newsystem infinitely superior to the oldshould not be evolved.

A common little man stood in front ofa picture of still life representing fruit

"Ye see its dangerous to jump at con-;'"'"/■ clusions," said the latter, "yer liable to

in calling for his negro servant,:. . "Run out and dig up a minister quickly,"

he saidThe valet harried out obediently, yet

shaking his head at the vagaries of hislord.

As he entered the large cemetery, shovelin hand, he realised that he had quite asearch ahead of him.

N.B.—This happened in America.

poes down that private road yntil youcomes to a si/m in a field wot says, Tres-

v passers will be prosecuted.' Well, yougo across the middle of that field, and then

■. fyou comes to a pond, with a notice boardWot says, 'No Fishing Allowed.'"

"Yes?""Well—that's it."

tvas the mother of our great Scottish hero,Robert Bruce?"

He pointed to the top boy and thenround the class. There was no answer.
