FETE AT "ELMWOOD.""There are now over a thousand Girl
Guides in Canterbury, and the wonder-ful growth of the movement since usintroduction into Christchurch, about.-three vears ago, ba.s been, m a greatmeasure, due to thy energy and _tact,the enthusiasm, and organising aoilityof the Provincial Commissioner, thaHon. Mrs Talui Rhodes."
Thus spoke Mrs J. F. fttudholme _i»the charming little speech with whichshe formally opened Hie very snccesstulwarden fete held sit "Elmwood'' onSaturday afternoon. Mrs Studholmoexpressed the great -egret felt by thepublic generally, and by the Girl Guid-Miu particular, at Mrs Bhodcs's impend-ing departure for England,, and said itwould he almost impossible to find asuccessor comparable with her as Com-missioner of Canterbury.
Before declaring the fete open, MrsStudholme, on behalf of the Guides,thanked Sir Heaton and Lady Rhodesfor lending "Ebmwood" for the gather-ing.
A brisk business was done at_ thevarious stalls, grouped in a semi-circlein front of the house, and. to a casualoteerver it seemed as if a great propor-tion of the thousand Guides were pre-sent" in uniform, all as busy a.s bees,conducting sales, assisting with thegames, or dispensing afternoon tea,which was served on the verandah andin the hall and reception room. Thegirls certainly deserved: the success theyachieved, for, besides working zealouslyon Saturday, they must have devotedtheir leisure for weeks to the task ofcollecting stock for the many stalls.
The produce stall -was in charge ofthe Avonside and Richmond Troops,the cake stall of the Sydenham andCashmere troops, the fancy work stallof S. Anne's Troop, sweets of Miriva'leNo. 2 Troop, variety of St. Mary's(Merivale) Troop, books of New Brigh-ton Troop, household and jumble stallof City and Addington Troops, and theafternoon tea. was in charge of St.Luke's Rangers and the Linwood Troop.Amusing and profitable side-shows wereconducted by Major Ashworth, andMessrs Loach, Throp, and Mc-Lean, and two gifted character readersgave patrons an amazing amount ofinformation about themselves at verysmall cost.

ARCHBISHOP AVERILL'S VIEWS.
[THE PRESS Special Service]
AUCKLAND, April 9. jWhen Archbishop Averill was a!
parish priest he encouraged his youug ,
people to dance. Now that he is anYrehbishop and is the responsible headof the Anglican Church in the Domin-ion. Dr. Averill sees no reason whyhe should change his opinion concern-
ing dancing.•■Rather estravagant/' ua* Ins com-
ment on the statement by Dr. Kans-toii, president of the Methodist Lon-lercncc. who declared that this form ot jamusement nearly always tended to ,blunt tbu spiritual experience andmade it harder to be a Christian, "iarbetter to ha\e dancing under proper jsupervision than to drive it into un-desirable quarters/' said the Arch-bi-hop as lie recalled the days when he■lsiied the girls o( his Guild to invito jtheir !>ov acqufliutanc-ei for a happy, jhe-ilthv 'party in their dance-room, j■•'i'lier'" i c no ,loubl about lllis fact; Ii, uvji ami girls will dance. They have ;daii'-ed tor centuries and nothing will jstop'them frotn dancing. To my mind |it us a healthy and norma! rccrcatiou !
for healthy am! normal people. !"True," saif l the Archbishop, "danc- j
ill" can'!*; abusH like anything else, j1-i/t there were tome people who found S
evil -vhero it never existed. There 3i"osorao people who say thai it is harm-ful to go to tho thratre. There are, Iof course, some phiys which are nothing ,but" a waste of tiro*?, but there are- jothers which we feel all the better !for haviuE seen."
The Primate is not quite as keen onmoving pictures, however, as he is onspokerT drania. ,: l do think that acertain class of American film is doing iji areat deal of harm to tho youth of (tin? country," ho said, j

.A special service in :Le ChrLs:.:hiu-eli jCathedral yesterday afternoon wms at- !tended by Freemasons from all partsor Canterbury. When the Most Wor-shipful Brother, his Excellency General
, Sir Charles Fergusson, Bart.. Grand Mas- J. ter, was led to his seat with his aide-de- i: tamp and the 8.W., Bro. X. L. Mac-
Beth, District Grand Master, E.C.. bythe Et. Riv. Campbell West-Watson,
f and Dean Carrington, the Cathedra! was| crowded to the door-.I Sentences of the Holy Scriptures and'•he versicles wore pronounced by the
12ev. A. 11. Norris, who also led inprayer. His Excellency read the firstlesson and W. Bro. Macßeth read the
• second lesson. After the service an of-! feriiig was taken in aid of St. Saviour's
Orphanages; and the tirst two verses ofthe National Anthem were sung.
Tie Bishop's Welcome."My Oxt this day is chosen from
the 127th. Psalm: 'Except the Lordbuild tiie house, their labour is but lostthat build it,' " said Bishop West-Watson, in addressing his congregation.'' I count it a high privilege to be
asked to address so august an assemblyin this House of God; a house which oneI of the gTeat columns \vill ever testifyto the generous work of Freemasons tothe honour and glory of God, the DivineArchitect," declared his Lordship. "Asa minister of Christ I welcome you tohis Cathedral Church, because I am per-suaded that your ideals of brotherly!ore, loyalty, truth, and obedience, andyour faith in God and eternity are theexpression of so much of His teaching,and find their crown and consumma-tion in Him who claimed to be thevery revelation of God. . • And Iconceive it to be not only the duty, butthe joy of the Christian Minister tolook for and to thank God for all thatmakes for righteousness and peaceand brotherhood in our troubledworld. .
."
In one way, his Lordship said, it wasdifficult for "one who was not of theCraft to speak to them. He could not usethe appeal of the familiar metaphors oftheir ritual. But, yet, in another way ,an outsider could speak with more de-tachment. He did not know those se-crets which they held from the unini-tiated, but he was not troubled by that."For," he said, "I venture to say thatif I do not know your secrets, I do knowyour secret—that secret, which, by every"action of your lives, it is your high en-deavour to publish broadcast; the secretof a godly, loving, and reverend life.And the more one understands of theaims and ideals of this brotherhood ofmore than two million and a half ofmen of every race and of every clime,the more one thanks God for such aleaven of health and wholesomeness.And in these days of doubt and uncer-tainty; days of rebuilding after thegreat earthquake of the War, when allfoundations are ruthlessly called in ques-tion and self-appointed masons are tak-ing counsel to raise once again a towerof human skill and knowledge to reachhigh heaven—in these days, surely,every man of goodwill must thank Godfor that great Craft which founded itsfaith on the Great Artificer, and buildsonly in the selfless dependence on Him;which strives to know His ways, thatit may work in loyal obedience to Him;which believes that the only secret ofsuccess is to labour in line with Him;
. which looks not to any tower jrai9ed onearth, but labours in spirit on that Citywhich hath foundations, whose builderand maker is God. . . The Citywhich the Seer beheld coming downfrom God out of heaven; the City whichlieth foursquare. . • 'Except theLord build the house, their labour is butlost that build it.' ""
. . .Surely, as to every Christ-
ian, 'so'to every "Mason, the days we
live in arc a clarion call to work out Instheories in practice, to gather up histools and get to work, to be not mere-ly'speculative, but spiritually operative.Surely it is time when the Great Arti-
' fleer is calling for all those who havepenetrated in any way His age-long se-crets and designs, to shoulder the publicburdens, to put tbe plumb lins to thewalls of our City and State; to teachmen that the eternal principles of loveand truth and obedience, can no more
be dispensed with than the square, thecompasses, and the plummet of theMason!"

SMALLEST BABY..;- �
AN AUCKLAND CLAIM.
[THE PEESS Special Service.]
AUCKLAND, April 9.'•The .smallest baby in the world has
been born at Battersea, South Lon-don. It weighed 21b 2oz at birth, andwas 15 inches long, and resembled adoll." So ran a cable message whichwas published yesterday.
It seems that Battersea's triumph isquite short-lived, as the world's recordbelongs to a Newmarket baby, born inthat suburb, being but lib looz at thetime of its birth, ten months ago. Thechild is the daughter of Mr and MrsJohnson, of 18 Bickerton avenue. Thelittle girl is at present in the KaritaneHome. She has been perfectly healthyfrom birth, and in the early stages hadto be fed through a fountain-pen filler.Her present weight is 101b.
An Auckland medical man said thismorning that the Newmarket baby waseasily the world's record for smallweiaht and perfect development.
The Battersea claim has also beendisputed by an Auckland citizen, whoat a matuVe age scales 10 stone orthereabouts. He recalled with somepride that in his earliest childhood dayshe weighed a neat 21b. and reposedupon a small pad of wool.
Christchurch Eecord.It is recorded at the Karitane
pital, Christchurch, that a baby wasborn there, two years ago, weighing liblOoz. The baby was quite normal andhealthy, and was discharged from theHomo at the age of five months. v
DRUNK IN OWN HOUSE.' INFORMATION DISMISSED. IHolding that a constable, who takes
a man from his own. house to thestreet, and there arrests him on acharge of drunkenness, cannot secure \a conviction against his man, Mr H.A. Young, S.M., dismissed an informa- Ition laid against Patrick Neylon, a jlabourer, aged 43 years, at the Mag-istrate's Court on Saturday morning.
Constable F. T. Furney stated in evi-dence that he arrested the accused onFriday evening at 7.15 outside a housein Kilmore street. Accused was stumb-ling about and arguing with anotherman. After arrival at the police sta-tion, accused asked for a doctor. Dr.Ardagh came, and gave a certificatethat the man was in a state of intoxi-cation.
The accused asked from the dockwhat the object was of his being ac-cused of drunkenness.Constable Furney; You had a rowwith the nian who owned tho house,and he and the women in the housecomplained that vou were making adisturbance. I said that the bestthing was for the parties to come alongto the polieo station for the matterto be looked into. When you got out--sulo you were stumbling about, and1 said that I'd arrp»t vou in anv caseon a charge of drunkenness.
Ino accused then made a statementirom the box. He «aid that he andins tamily rented a room in a house "•

THE SOVIET.WHERE BRITAIN STANDS.
NECESSITY FOR CLOSE WATCH.
(BEITISn OFFICIAL- WIRELESS.'
RUGBY, April S.
At a meeting in his Birmingham con-
stifuenev yesterday, the Foreign Secre-
tarv (Sir Austende-
scribed British relations with the boAKt
Government a3 difficult.The Soviet made no secret o\*»™:
sire to promote revolution in c.«> P£Jof the world. It regarded the L.itiEmpire with particular ammosit> andjealousy, because of the common scn.cof its people, and because ot tuc iriu
<lom of its institutions, which were areproach to the tyrannies csorcisca m
Russia, and a buttress against hespread of the revolution vl"<* tue\
would promote. ~
The Soviet worked through the Com-munist International and other sourcesto foster ill-feeling against treatBritain and the Empire.
With such provocation the britisnGovernment had a clear right, betorcthe whole world, to decline to entertainanv longer diplomatic relations with aGovernment which had little regard tortho obligations of international life.If we had not done so, Sir Austen
Chamberlain continued, it was not be-cause we were ignorant of the provo-cation or unaware of the policy theSoviet was pursuing. It was because,in a world which above all thingsneeded peace, we were disinclined,even under such provocation, to intro-duce ,1 new disturbing element. Thiswas not so much on account of ourown situation (for we could break offthese diplomatic relations without itcosting us, as a nation, anything), butbecause any new disturbance in theworld reacted more strongly on othernations whose position was less stableand less assured than our own.
"This," he said, "is not a mark ofweakness, but rather of strength, andOf our confidence in ourselves, that wecan afford to pass over an outragewhich no Government has any right toinflict on another Government withwhich it wishes to remain in ordinarydiplomatic relations. But, while wemight for these international reasons,and in the larger interest of the peaceof the world, still tolerate this out-rageous conduct, it is necessary towatch closely those who would bringruin upon Groat Britain."

"MEET THE WIFE."
SMART AMERICAN COMEDY.
Funny though "The Best People'-' un-doubtedly was, the second productionof the E. J. Carroll company, "Meetthe Wife" excels easily as a mirth pro-voker ; in fact it is no exaggeration todescribe the comedy as one long laugh.The author, Lynn Starling, is a worthyrepresentative of the present dayschool of American playwrights, andalthough his works may not be com-pared with those of his English con-temporaries in refinement of language,ho is an adept in developing a humor-ous situation and secures his effectswithout strain. An acquaintance withAmerican slang would enable one bet-ter to enjoy tho piece, but the actionis so smooth throughout and so Kelt-explanatory as it progresses that theresult is completely successful. Inter-
| preted by a company of the strengthof the present combination. "Meet the"Wife" can he recommended as a first-class entertainment, and the TheatreRoyal should be well filled for the re-mainder of the season.
Because of his wife's biting tongueand other disagreeable ways PhilipBellamy, having assured himself thatshe and her child will be left in com-fortable circumstances. disappearsabout the time of tho San Franciscoearthquake. This gives him the oppor-tunity for which he has always longed—to devqto himself to writing, insteadof following up the business of a realestate agent, an occupation much fav-oured by his wife. Travelling to Eng-land, he blossoms out as an author ofnote under the name of Philip Lord,while his wife, whose personal grief forher "departed" is forgotten when shomeets Harvey Lennox, whom she mar-ries, believes, quite properly, that sheis :i widow. Lennox soon encounterstrouble, for his assertive wife decidesthat her attractive daughter mustmarry a man that the girl cannot toler-ate, the more so since she is in lovewith a young journalist, GregoryBrown. Always on the look-out for asocial lion to' entertain, Mrs Lennoxsees a golden opportunity to mako herfriends jealous when Lord, who is tra-velling through America on a lecturingtour, comes to the district. Littleknowing that Mrs Lennox is his ownlegal wife, Lord accepts her invitationto stay at her house for a couple ofdays, and ivheu the couple see eachother the fun really starts. Poor Len-nox, thinking that over-excitement istho causo of his wife's strange beha-viour, apologises for her, and the
I daughter gets into hot water withBrown, who has been introduced intothe house as a New York journalist,when he sees her affectionate behaviourtowarus Lord. Complications followhard upon each other and the audienceis kept in a state of unbounded mirth.
Miss Marion Lord had a difficult taskto perform in the character of MrsGertrude Lennox, but sho came through
I the ordeal successfully, although shedid not appear quite at heme> in thepart in the opening of the first act.Her subsequent work, however, wasexcellent and she gave a splendid per-formance of a woman who knows howto get her own way with a husbandwhoso main objective is to live in peace,her domineering maimer making it per-fccllv obvious to the audietice why her
■first "husband was glad to desert her.Tho clever way she had of acceptingdofeat on the rare occasions it came toher, pretending that the result waswhab she had been striving for all the ,time was neatly carried ont. Mr J. B. jRowe gave an admirable portrait of jPhilip Lord, his love for his daughterwhom he has not seen for ten yearsand his friendship for the man who hassucceeded him as head of the householdbeing well brought out. As. HarveyLennox Mr William Macauley was wellcast, taking advantage of the oppor-tunities which came his way.particularly good in the scene in whichthe two husbands have a heart-to-hearttalk, as a result of which he is made ,to see that earthquakes often have un-suspected advantages. A great deal .ofthe comedy effects was due to MrRobert Adams, whose ridiculous pos-ings and mannerisms in the role of theeffeminate Victor Staunton were hailedwith roars of laughter. Miss HelenAudiffred was altogether charming asDoris Bellamy and showed herself tohave a good understanding of the de-mands of tho piece. Mr Richard Rowealso acted well as her lover, GregoryBrown, while others who did useful workwere Miss Marion Sterly and Mr Regi-nald Collins. . ■
"Meet the Wife" will be played loranother four nights.

BROWN DIDN'T WIN THEART UNION.
Brown opened the evening paper andsettled himself back in his cosy arm-chair to read the results of the latestart union Alas! Mr Brown's numberwas not there.
"Oh, well," he said, resignedly, "Imight have won it," and under thesoothing influence of his fragrant to-bacco he gave himself up to histhoughts.
It should be remembered that Brown'sfavourite brand was Bears Cut Plug,sold loose at 8d an ounce. No wonderhe was always so self-satisfied and con-tent.

i Enterprise plays the principal part in the
I dramatic glory of achievement. So man?
I ~ood things contribute to its make-up—cour-! u:re and chivalry, resolution and. fortitude; •vigour.-jnd that" unfailing spring of healthy •,optimism, and enterprise played the lions ■share in the achievement credited toBarbara !Worth, in tho tale o: that lady's winning. }
' Most famous of all Harold Bell Wright"b j■' -tories, "The Winning of Barbara Worth" |opens its season' at the Grand Theatreto-day. The cast is headed by Yilrr.a Baniiyand Ronald Colman. and presented on ascale of detailed and effective faithfulness.Here 13 a delightfully human story set in
suroundings of hard and virile practicability,i a storv of the great Middle West, and of
what the wit and energy of man can accom-plish in those limitless wastes. But where
' deserts are. and when men desire to convert■ them into blossomiDg valleys through irri-
gation, mortgages and the like have an un- |comfortable habit of bounding into active j
! existence; and so, in' the midst of all its ■youthful romance and pleasant drama, "The IWinning of Barbara Worth" becomes as jmuch a race with time against foreclosure asa race with the rival. And it is here thatthe author shows hiß charming originality inchoice of theme, and his amazing clevernessin first of all constructing so complicated a ;plot and then tracing out its logical conclu-sion ; and the logical conclusion of your goodstory must also be a happy one, with bank-ers and ranchers and engineers, and loversall. on the best of terms with one another.And Wright does it, and everything happensin that thrilling and dramatic man-
■ ner which picture patrons love so1 well, and at the end when 'thef eminently practical heroiDe, after beat-
ing half the country's financial wizards, findsherself stonewalled by Romance, in the per-son of Bonald Colman, the picture patron.with a delighted wriggle, thinks that Buchan event is the only reward for her, consid-ering everything. And the picture patron iainevitably right. "The Winning of Bar-bara Worth" is a romance of business, butit is not a businesslike romance; just Itlteevery other one, with just a dash of moon-shine in it to make it thoroughly human.The picture was made out ia the MojaveDesert, thus gaining more atmosphere andrealism, and this tends greatly towards itsair of sincerity in al! things, practical as wellas histrionic. V'ilma Banky pla'ys the hero-ine with an appreciation of her lighter moodaas well as her dramatic ones, .and RonaldColman is tvholly polished as ber leadingman.'but to add.zest to things, he in hardput to it before he wins Barbara Worth.'The supporting cart includes George Fawcett,Paul McAllister, and Charles Lane, all ofwhom are well and favourably known topatrons. The Grand Quality Orchestra willbe heard in special orchestral numbers during the season. The bos plans are now openat The Bristol Piano Co., where seats may bereserved.
"THE DESERT'S PRICE."
WITH BUCK JONES.
QUEJSX'S-THBATRJE. TO-DAT.
The Fox star, Buck Jones, plays the lead-ing role in-"The Desert's Price" at theQueen's Theatre to-day, the picture be-ing a Western v.-itb a difference. While asurfeit of action and thrilling encountersengage the attention throughout, the actualstory is much more human and pleasingthan the average plot in outdoor films. More-over, that tiresome element of fighting ispresent in merely a negligible quantity andmuch comedy relief helps to make "TheDesert's Price" as drolly entertaining as itis. The storr ie from the novel by WilliamMcLeod Raine, the man who wrote "TheVision Splendid," and this is a criterion ofits value and worth. There is never aminute during the entire performance that theaction lags. The situations come about natur-ally, and the climax comes with an unex-pected smash. Aside from the dramatic in-terest of tho production, the photographyand scenic effects leave little to bo desired. Florence Gilbert and Montagu Lovearo two other stars in the cast. Philo Mc:
Cullough plays the starring role in "TheDevil's Partner," another suave and sophis-ticated drama for this roost polished andlikeable of all screen villains. Unlike mostof this actor' 3 pictures, this one is not asociety drama.- but a story of the goldenWest, and he has shown his versatility in hischaracterisation in no uncertain manner.Nancy Deaver t3 his leading lady, and therest of the cast is composed of well-knowuplayers.
The Queen's Theatre have secured for pre-sentation a long list of Fox pictures star-ring the famous Western actors. Tom Hisand Buck Jones.' These productions, all orthem super-Westerns, commence with "TheDesert's Price" to-day, and will tend tomake the Queens' attractions the best pro-gramme in the City.

Inevitable, "ThePeiican'' had to come to the screen, andunder the title of "The .Marriage License," ,:t will be presented at Everybody's Theatreto-day. It is a somewhat difficult ;theme to ".rite of, even somewhat delicate, rfor it creates sharp controversy and excites in- ,
terested discussion wherever presented. It is inot a prob-eni play, yet it answers the raos\ '
vita] question of the day; it is not a S'.u ,drama, yet it pulsates with violent emotions: ■not a ''thriller" in the accepted sense <•.; .
the word, yet replete with exciting tftua- 'tions; not a comedy, yet offering many a •
smile—it is a story true to life and just as ;bis. And just as there is tragedy in life,and lost love and atern diuy and often the ,knowledge of sacrifice unrewarded, so in 1"The Marriage Licer.ee" do the greater things jcount, though romance and youth and Ilaughter have then hour The play reveals ;a wonder.'ul and all-embracing understanding Iof human hearts of human impulses, and jhopes and aspirations, and the qestion it jpropounds is one which permits of no set :answer, it is answered according to the tern- jocrament and code of honour of the |answerer. So much dramatic power, so much 1emotional fire, and so much inevitable ro- Imance, all in the one play are unusual, but |"The Marriage License" is so intrinsically jgreat that it can afford to be profligate. It jpresents humanity in its weakest moods, as Ine!l as in its noblest moments; its charac- \

getting the motto of their caste even in ;their most despicable actions The man who 'r-ade "Kumoresquc" made this picture. 1vhich fact is a criterion of tts immense en- ■t.-rla:r>.irient and suotle heart appeal. ;And the leading ladv of the older picture is jstarred in this one, Alma Rubens appearing jwith brilliant .-'recess as Wanda Henot, who jepitomises in her tumultuous life, the hearts 1of th# world's mothers, as well as tre hearts |c<" the world's lovers.

ele' surprise upon the literary and theatricalworld. tW time "The Whole Town's Tak-ing" which, after receiving an enthusiasticreception on the London stage *«> trail*ferred to the screen, and will recede itsoJal Premiere at the Liberty Theatreo'dar Now. the cooly sophisticated touch
of Anita Loos is everywhere apparent in
this work, that piquant daring, ; and thosesvrupy confidences that the man ol taeworld fitida so enormously amusing aroscattered generously through the story. Thetale, the plot, what you will, is remarkably,conventional and not Itf the least origma -
fo* th» matter o£ that Lorele) and Dorothy
we're not original either, but they got b trip
to Europe. . . It is there, m such quiet littletouches, that this astonishing young personKB'.B such flamboyant results. The situationsthat arito from her familiar plot, the ana-logue which arise from her ingratiatingcharacters are both sufficiently novel and airrto compensate for the studied decorum ofher foundation. Little, if any, of thecamouflaged ingenuousness of the original hs3been lost in the screen version. The choicestof Hie quips, and the most engaging of thesallies, are all easily introduced into thecontinuitv, and. the whole is sweetly per-vaded with a sense of the lightly dramatic,more of the romantic, and a great deal ofthe hilariously comic. The merry littlepiece savours of a fascinating combination—-the surprising sophistication of Frenchcomedy with the disarming frankness of theAmerican, and when the characters of thepicture leave the mark and become embroiledin the polite indiscretions of. the plot, oneceases to wonder that the whole town tail's.Edward Everett Hortort, that quiet and self-effacing comedian, plays the leading role,supported by the robust and friendly OtisHarlan, while Virginia Lee Corbin, an allur-ing blonde, and Dolores de Rio, e sinuousbrunette, are the ladies of the piece whoset the city by the ears.
.Tune Marlowe and Kin Tin Tin share thehistrionic honours in "The Night Cry," thesupporting feature on the bill. This picture iscompletely different from all of this sagaciousanimal's previous films, mainly inasmuch asit is not the usual hackneyed drama of thefrozen north. The story is new and clever,and the popular canine star was never bet-ter than in this production. The' LibertyConcert Orchestra, under the direction ofMr Ernest Jamieson, will be heard in specialorchestral numbers. The bor plans aro nowopen at The Bristol. Piano Company, whereBeats may be reserved.

NEW SUNDAY SCHOOL.
ST. PETER'S, WOOLSTON.
FOUNDATION STONE LAID.
A distinct step in the progress of St;Peter's Presbyterian Church, Al'dwin'.sroad, "Woolston, • was taken on Satur-day afternoon, the foundation of. thenow Sunday School, known as theMcDonald Memorial Hall, being placedin position by the Mayor of Christ-church, Mr J; K. Archer. The new hallhas. beeji named after the late Kev.Ti McDonald,.■minister of St. Peter'sChurch -from •; 1905 to'l9lo, . and whostarted the 'building i'uud.
Tho ceremony was- largely attendedby parishioners and clergy from otherpiirishPS. The lesson was'.read by the.-licv. Dr. Erwin. The anthem 'leGates, lift up'Your Heads," was thensung by a combined choir, and a short-address was given by' the Kev. 'BrianKilroy. M.A. , ~.
The'Mavor was'then presented with
a silver trowel by Miss Elsie Gant.daughter of the contractor. Mr J. L>.
W Archer,'in hiving the stone, saidthat the occasion was the first-uponwhich,- during his term as Mayor, he hadbeen, asked to perform such n. ceremony.It was a great pleasure to him to beasked to take such an important partin the progress of. the Church. TheSundav School was vastly important in
the Church's life, and it was also ot
vital importance that religious instruc-tion should be given to children, lira i
in the house and then in the bun-day schools. Expressing the hope thatthe building would serve all tho high-est and noblest, ideals for humanity..
Mr Archer declared the stone laid.A praver of dedication was ohoretl
bv the Kev. T. W. Armour, of KnoxChurch, and an address was given b>the Kev. J. 8. Young, of New Brigh-ton, the ceremony' being concluded vutn

The Anti-Patriotic Bias.
Troubles such as that in winch Britainis involved in China are opportunitiesfor displays of what Herbert Spencer
called the anti-patriotic bias. The axr
is filled with the buzzing ot those
curious people who fake a gloomy de-
light in judging their country to be
<rron» on every occasion, and who, m
contemplation of the bad, persistentlyoverlook the good. The. Chinese crisis
is rmvticularly interesting in this re-
spect, because it illustrates a difficultythat often ai-ises in dealing with thesefriends of every country but their own.
That difficulty arises from the fact thatBritain, like every other country, has
/lone wrong from time to time ininternational affairs. Jn China herrecord has some ugly chapters; it is
doubtful, indeed, if it is worse in any
other part of the foreign world. Forthis reason, it is of little use replyingto these persistent denigrators withairy generalisations about Britain'smission in the world and the splendourof her Imperial achievement. Theycounter with the " opium wars." Oneis wise to admit that there is a badpast in Anglo-Chinese relations, andhaving admitted this, one may reason-ably ask them to take note not onlyof changed policy in respect to China,but of England's decent record else-where.
•The mentality of many of these tautand quivering critics is curious. Someof them, like Mr George Lansbury,profess to be Christians, yet theynever think of applying the injunctionto love one's neighbour to their owncountrymen. -Their own Governmentcannot possibly be right. If an Eng-lish official makes a statement, it issuspect. The dice are always loadedagainst their own country. The otherday in the Commons information wasasked for about an attack by Chineseon a police station at Singapore, whichis not part of China* but a Britishpossession. Judging by our cabled re-port, there was solicitude for the vic-tims of the policemen's rifle fire, butnone for the wounded defenders. Thesecretary of an Auckland organisationcalled " Hands Off China "—it may bea New Zealand affair for all we know,but no ■ matter—writes an' instructiveletter to the Auckland Star. A cor-respondent with more patriotism thanknowledge had referred to Britain's"great work in the abolition Of the"opium traffic." This was unfortu-nately put, but it contained some truth.The secretary of "Hands Off China"replied by citing all England's opium
' sins, and barely mentioning India'svoluntary surrender of revenue in theanti-opium cause.. This is typical of
in which these biased idealistsJ pile up a ease against Britain. EvenI more instructive was this gentleman'sI reply to the correspondent's remark
• that British justice .was... a. .model fpii the world. He could, he said, fill
columns arid columns with com-d ments by Indians, Egyptians,'' Chinese, and Irishmen on this
statement. How very typical! His, of course, easy to find,numbers ofsuch anti-British sentiments, but whatof all those from these same nationali-
A ties on the other side? What of themany tributes from " subject races "
an unfortunate term, we admit—to th«fineness of this British justice, and th<
fi beneficial results of British ruh- generally? There was one in our new* a few days agoj an enlightened Indiai
prince is retiring from politics becaus<he disapproves of the agitation agains
si the British "Raj." The response oithese subject races to the call of th<Great War was a superb tribute to th<
£ quality of British administration. Itcertain circles, however, one nevei
jjf hears of these things. EverythingZ. within the British orbit is evil. "Im
"perialism," "exploitation," "th<"greed of a ruling cast"—such term!are repeated over and over again h
L-S a sort of incantation, until the mineloses all power of independent thoughtThe only consolation is that other age!
w.have known the type. The "Copper
im "head," as it was called in Lincoln'sday, belongs to all times.
The Season's Wool Sales.
The season's wool sales in New Zealandare now completed, and the mainfeature of the whole series was thesteady firming of prices from the firstsale to the last. The sales opened at
a fair level, and there was practicallyno check in the continuous demand, as
shown by the keen competition and
advance in values. This has disclosedan apparently sound position in thewool market, for all sections of thetrade represented at the sales wereready buyers. Bradford and the Con-tinent—Germany being a largeoperator—were the main supporters ofthe sales, whilst America was operat-ing in suitable lots, and the localwoollen mills and fellmongers also tooktheir share. Japan does not appearto have done much business directly inNew Zealand, but during the recentsales in Australia her competition hasbeen one of the chief factors in thestrong demand that existed, and herpurchases included practically allclasses of wool. It is stated by thePastoral Bmew that it is many yearssince the position has been as strongas it is to-day, and rarely, if ever, hasthere been such a satisfactory recordof clearances, sale after sale. Thishas also been the experience in NewZealand. The demand has included allclasses from the finest merinos to the
1 coarsest crossbreds; in fact, thei strength of the market for crossbreds
1 has been a prominent and satisfactory• feature of tha N«w Zealand sales. It
is suggested that the gradually increas-. ing use of wool by Eastern nations is
1 greater than:has betn allowed for, and
possibly the clothing of the Chinesearmies has been a factor in thesituation. This aspect of the marketis one that no doubt affects Australiato a greater extent than New Zealand,whose exports of wool, except to theUnited States, practically all go toEurope. The wool situation in Brad-ford at present, however, does not in-spire great confidence. The effects ofthe big strike have not yet all passedaway, and top-makers are not seemingprices relative U> the cost of the {raw materia]. From the amount
of purchases made by Continentalbuyers, the unwelcome indication isthat England has not the strong holdon the wool market she once had. TheLondon coi-respondent of the .PastoralReview takes rather a pessimistic view|of the keen demand there has been
j for crossbred wools both in New Zea-| land and London, and says that it
| looks as if these wools were beinglargely bought forward in anticipa-tion of future trade. • That was wherea mistake was made in the two pre-vious seasons, as the hoped-for demanddid not materialise, hence a repetitionof this experience will be a seriousmatter for Bradford firms. Whatevermay have been the cause or causes ofthe strength of the wool market thisseason, it is a matter of satisfactionthat wool-growers have received pricesfor their clips that should leave some-thing over the cost of production.With lower prices for lamb and muttonit would have been a bad lookout forthe pastoral industry if wool had notsaved the situation.
The North Beach Tramway Line.
In a circular which it has issued, the
Tramway Board gives some strongreasons why the ratepayers should sup-port its proposal to abandon the tram-way service between Burwood andNorth Beach. The line, which waslaid in 1910, has been run at a loss,and it is now "practically worn out."Beyond Burwood it runs throughcountry that is very thinly populatedand unlikely to be closely settled for agood many years. The Board saysthat North Bcaeh itself can be ade-quately served by the trams runningalong the beach from New Brighton,and it promises that the bus servicealong Wainoni and Racecourse roadsWill be continued, so that the scrappingof the tramway from Burwood* east-ward will not seriously affect the con-venience of many people. The Boardgives the public an assurance that thepresent line from • Burwood • to thebeach is worn out, and that the choiceis between renewal and abandonment.If this is the case the Board can fairly ]take up the position that, if it werefree to act, .it. would feel obliged toconsider whether, if the line-front Bur-wood eastward did not at present exist,such a line ought to be built. Fewpeople would say that in such circum-stances the construction of a new track-would be good business. It is difficultat the present time to make the tram-ways pay, and it is a good time, there-fore, to avoid any policy which would
' make that difficulty greater. Everyoneagrees that further tramway extensionsare undesirable, and the case againstsuch extensions rests on considerationswhich certainly seem to bear againstthe renewal of a section which wouldscarcely now be incorporated into thetramway system if it were, not alreadythere. The ratepayers will require,however, detailed figures before they
• can decide what instructions they musti give to the Board.
STONES THROWN.
AT OPEN-AIR SERVIOE.
[THE PRESS Special Service.]
AUCKLAND, April 9."I have been an active member of
the Salvation Army for 32 years, andthis is the worst incident I have ex-
perienced."This declaration was made this morn- ;
ing by Adjutant W. Fraser, when re-lating an act of hooliganism perpetrat-ed duriac the course of the Armysopen-air service, conducted in theVicinity of the Civic square last aven-
-IDft appears that while the usual pro-gramme was being held, no fewer thanthree stones landed amongst mem-bers of the Army, and one of theseinflicted a severe gash on the eyebrowof Mr George Phillips, proprietor otthe Trocodero Dining Rooms. Altera slight operation had been performedon the injured mart, he was removedto his home, where ho is progressing assatisfactorily as possible in the circum-
stances. .,
.
The incident certainly reveals a per-verted sense of humour on the part orsome irresponsible individual, but it isnot believed for a moment that themissile was deliberately thrown at airPhillips. The matter has been report-ed to the polico in order that protec-tion might be accorded the Army mfuture.

Uood Friday, April loth.Shortly before 9 o'clock on Saturday
jvening a heavy hailstorm swept over:he City. The hailstones were unusu-illy large aud heavy, and in a shorttime the ground was covered in white.
Remarkable longevity was recordedin recent deaths in Christchurch, Threesuch cases were an old gentleman of)6. another of 94, and an old lady ofi'i. Tho combined ages of thetotalkd 273 years or an average of 91.
At a meeting of the West Coasters'Association, held on Saturday night,Jie chairman (Mr G. It. Hunter) wasinstructed to make all necessary ar-rangements to organise another excur-sion to the Coast. The train is toleave Lyttelton instead of Christ-jhurcli.
"J want to thank the Board for thek-ery fine evening they have given usthis afternoon." said a speaker at theDrainage Board's luncheon on Satur-day. He got no further for severalseconds, til! his hearers had recovered'rom the laughter caused by his "bull.-'
Last week's registrations ox un-jloyed were about ttio same m number& during the previous week. 2Sotmuch work is coming in to the Govern-ment Labour Bureau, but the officer
in charge was able to place threo otshe nine new applicants on Saturdayin private work.
Mr J. 11. McAuliife, clerk of theHealthcoi.e County Council, was con-gratulated at Friday evening's meet-in"- of the Council, by the chairman,Vlr C. Flavell, and Crs. W. W. Scarff,md J. L. Danks, on having presented,he balance-sheet so soon after the close>f the financial year.
Mention wus made at the DrainageBoard's luncheon on Saturday of the"act that Mr B. Mooro was one of thejldest contractors who had done workfor the Board. It was Mr Moore whonstalled the first of the Board's pump-hg sub-stations—the underground onenear the corner of Hereford streetind Cambridge terrace.
A Maori flax beater and a carvedstretcher for weaving were unearthedtwenty feet below the level of thestreet when workmen were recently en-gaged in excavations in New Plymouth.Both were well preserved, though theyhad probably been buried well over acentury. The new building is on thesite of the Puke-ariki pa, which wasvacated by the Maoris about 1830.
"The churches of Christchurch arenot making anything like the contri-bution of men to public office that theyshould be doing, and 1 have no verygreat opinion of some of the men theChurch has sent to public office. . . •-the Mayor, Mr J. K. Archer, in thecourse of his address at the laying ofthe foundation stone of the new bun-day School at St. Peter's Church,Woolston, on Saturday afternoon.
"The day must come when NewBrighton must come under the «"toolof the Drainage Board," said Mr J.
Gamble, the Mayor of that borough,at the Drainage Board's luncheon onSaturday. "We have a population ot5000, and Dr. Telford gave me a broadhint this afternoon. What we are go-ing to do if the Board doesn't come to
our assistance, I don't know. It willbe able to do more for us in the direc-tion of drainage than we are able todo for ourselves."
Referring to the Local GovernmentLoans Board Act in the course of someremarks at the Drainage Board s lunch-eon on Saturday, Mr H. S. S. Kyle,M.P., said that when some niembersof the House put up .a.littte bit otopposition to, it they were told: "Thereis no need to trouble or worry about ccity like Christchurch, where theyalways carry on their affairs in a satis-factory manner; the Bill is to protectthe northern cities and boroughs wherethey waste money." That was impress-
ed: on them more than once, Mr Hyieadded:
"I- know well the difficulties theDrainage Board and its contractorshave had to meet in pulling throughthis scheme," said Dr. T. Fletcher'Tel-ford, Medical Officer of Health, at theDrainage Board's luncheon on Satur-day, "and I take this opportunity olcongratulating the contractors on themanner in which they have overcomethose difficulties; and still more do Icongratulate the Board for the reason-able terms on which they have gone towork and afforded the contractors theopportunity to. get the necessarymachinery in order to expedite the
work and overcome difficulties withgreater facility than by manualmethods."
With a view to affording owners oimotor-cars some protection against tnedepredations of "borrowers," Or. w.E. Leadle'y will table the following mo-tion at to-night's meeting of the CityCouncil .—"That in view of the numbeiof motor-oars that have been illegallytaken from parking places in the Cityduring the last 12 months, it be a re-commendation to the incoming By-law*Committee to confer with the Canter-bury Automobile Association tod theReturned Soldiers' Association, with aview to adopting a scheme whereby anumber of disabled soldiers could Wappointed by the Council as attendantsat City motor stands; such attendantsto be paid by the motorists using thestands regularly."
Contractors engaged on the drainageworks in the City, who have acquiredexpensive trench-digging
_
machinery,are anxious that tho Drainage Boardshould go ahead with a scheme for sub-soil drainage. "We contractors," saidMr B Moore at the Board's luncheoron Saturday, "have laid out our profitsin buying new machinery, and nnlesethis subsoil drainage is gone on with,what chance have we of getting oui
money back?" Mr Moore added thaisome' of them had sunk £6OOO inmechanical diggers, and unless the sub-soil drainage scheme was gone on with,the River Board and other local bodieswould be able to buv machines thaicost £3OOO each for £250.
Fortunate are the Easter Brides thisyear. Never has there been such a dis-play in Christchurch, of wedding pre-sents and household goods, at such at-tractive prices.

••i ~,.i '-ITp-u- hears." Mr Dou-with several ucav, i.e<u-

the presence of a member or tUSupreme Court Bench. (Applauso.) (Christehurch had been unfortunate icr 1many years in that no "jomW

whole community, and he ventured tosay that Mr Justice Alpers had proved
'himself to bo a'first-class Judge, andone who was going to leave behind a
brilliant record. (Applause.) He wasa man possessing exceedingly goodcommon sense, and, after all was saidand done, the lawyer who acted oncommon sense was more correct in hisdecisions than one who went into ab-struse law points. His Honour was abrilliant scholar, and there w;as, per-haps, no man in the Empire who knewEnglish as well as Mr Justice Alpers.
"Little did I think I would ha.vethis thing thrust upon me ' said MrJustice Alpers, amidst laughter, His-Honour said that he was glad to meetwith his friends of the Drainage Boardwith whom; as a member of Mr FrankCowlishaw's firm, he had come in con-tact for fifteen years. Mr Dougallhad said some very nice things winchhe very much appreciated, no matterhow little he deserved them.
"Only One Boss.""I have often wondered," his Honour
went on, "when the health of Judgeswas being proposed if references totheir integrity and high sense of dutywere not a little bit overdone. ....
It has been said that ' you cannot makemen moral by Act of Parliament,' butthere is one wonderful exception, andthat is the Act of Settlement whichprovides that Judges throughout theBritish Empire are appointedfor life. We have only one |boss and he lives in Buckingham Pal*ace. We are absolutely independent ofGovernments, and in the words of amember of the Bar we 'enjoy the sweetsimplicity of a monthly cheque.' vv©

. . We have reached1 the age when the temptations of the

i and only a man who is tempted can be■ forgiven for going wrong. Because we
| have no temptation to be anythingf" else, without any attempt, we are vir-r tuous and moral by this Act of Parlia-
• ment, and that is one of the greatesti features of the British Constitution,j When you consider other English-
• speaking countries where the Judges3 are elected, you see how terrible are
the possible miscarriages of justicethat may occur. No Jtidge in the Bri-tish Empire fears anyone—he can only

SUBSOIL WATER.

The Drainage Board was urged byDr. T. Fletcher Telford, Medical Officerof Health, in some remarks lie madeat the Board's luncheon on Saturday,to "get out plans and consider bringingabout effective measures for the com-pletion of a scheme to deal with thedrainage of the City's subsoil." Sucha scheme, he said, would be as expen-sive as the one the Board had m handat present, but sooner or later it mustbe taken into consideration. .
After stating that in some localitiesthe subsoil water "se to withm 14

SEWER SERVICE.ASSISTANCE TO j
RATEPAYERS.}
FINDING THE MONEY. i
With a large number of dwellings tobo connected with the new sewers, andhi view of the desirability of thework being done as quickly as possible,in order to reduce tho number of occa-sions that street surfaces should be
broken up, the question of financial as-sistance to ratepayers is of considerableimportance. The matter was referredto at the Drainage Board's luuehoon onSaturday. ;
Mr E. 11. Andrews, chairman of the
City Council's Works Committee, saidthai, connexions were not being madethough in some instances the sewershad been down for twelve months. Thiswould continue, he feared, until theycould help tho ratepayers in moetiegthe cost. It had been held that tho
Drainage Board did not possess thostatutory powers to make .dvanoes toratepayers for this purpose. The CityCouncil, under special legislation ormany years ago, had raised £30,000 fortho purpose, but unfortunately the Actprovided that the money must be rais-od at five per cent., ajjs2, as they allknew, that was impossible to-day. Acroat many of the ratepayers could notafford tho £4O or £SO necessary to con-nect with the sewers, and he wouldbe glad if the Board could giyo someidea of the number of connexions re-quired, so that the City Council couldmako an estimate of the number ofratepayers who would require, help.,Thev would have to promote legislationgiving tho City Council power to raisethe money at a higher rate of interestthan five per cent. ''Unless we dothat," Mr Andrews added, "we willhave these things hanging on for yearsand years, and we will never get ourroads in good condition. . . .
Wewant to evolve some Bcheme by wnicnthis work can be done quickly, and, asnearly as possible, simultaneously.
Mr H. J. Otlev, chairman of theBoard, said the City Council shouldhave a large amount of the advancesmade some years ago repaid by thistime, and should have a large amountof monev in their treasury that mustbe available. "If the work is going tobo held up because the people can-not find the money," Mr Otley added,"and it becomes the Board's job toprovide it, it will be done. . , ..4*the money is not found bv the Council,
the Board will take the matter up.We don't Want to do it; the CityCouncil did it before and did it excel-lently, and I sincerely hope they will
do it again." He believed that Bie-carton was making arrangements toprovide monev for its own people,and he thought it would be better foreach local body to follow Riccartonsexample. _____
MOTORIST INJURED.
ACCIDENT ON MONCK*S SPURROAD.
Mr Horace Truscott, of Bedftllffs,Sumner, was taken to the hospital yes-terday afternoon with broken ribs and
a perforated tutig, as the result of a
motor accident on the Mdnck's Spurroad.
Mr Truscott, the eldest son of Mr
and Mts Fred. Truscott, left 'Wsparents' home just before two o'clockin a three-Beater car, to visit mends.He had negotiated the whole length ofthe Spur road, and was about twochains below the last hairpin bend,when his car swerved at a slight eurvein the road and dropped down a steepbank, rolling over and over .till itreached the flat in the Eedchffs rifle Irange.
Fortunately, Mr Truscott was thrownout at the first sooetßault. He waspicked up surrounded by broken glassand debris and conveyed to a housenear-by, where he was attended by Dr.T\ Slater, who. ordered his removal tothe Christehurch Hospital.
A large number of, motorists, seeingthe car from the main road, inspectedthe scene of the disaster, and expressedtheir surprise at Mr Truscott's marvel-lous escape. In its first turn the carmutt have rolled over him. Continuingits course, it left a trail of fragmentsall the way. The remains, excepting theengine, appeared a crumpled ruin.
This spot was the scene of anotheraccident s6me four years ago. On thisoccasion there were three in the car,which came down backwards, but noone was seriously hurt.
Late last night the condition of MrHorace Truscott was unchanged.

PEKING RAW).
OFFICIAL VERSION.
(itfflfltAMAM AK» 3f.Z. CABVB ASSOCIATION.)
■'V .'"'■' LONDON, April S.'The official version of the Peking raid,
which, hs reached Downing Street,shows that, as anticipated, the EussianEmbassy" was not affected.
The. Chinese authorities had informa-tion, that arms and ammunition were"stored in the ofiioes of the Dahl Bank,
Chinese Eastern Railway .and the£Ussiaii Indemnity Commission, andtliat all \vere,also used for subversivepropaganda. None of the buildings inany -ttay eiljoyed diplomatic immun-ity, and anyhow, the Soviet long agorenounced such privileges even for theEhibassy building.
The Chinese police issued a searchwarrant and obtained the authority oftjie senior member of the DiplomaticBody, beeause the buildings are withinthe Legation Quarter.
Throughout the raid the Soviet Em-bassy'proper, which is quite a separatebuilding, surrounded by its own walls,was strongly respected.
The Chinese police exceeded thejrauthority given by the diplomatists inentering the quarters of the SovietEmbassy Guard, though the Sovietthrough the surrender of their extra-territoriality rights were not entitledto maintain, a guard. »
The Diplomatic Body neverthelessprotested against tho Chinese authori-ties exceeding their specific authorisa-tion. ; .
The Air Ministry to-day announcedthat an air squadron, comprising threeflights, of Bristol Fighters, had beenordered to Shanghai.
Those well informed hint that theymay be used in aerial reprisals in theevent of non-compliance with the Nan-king Notes and demands, but this ishot admitted officially.

A GLOOMY MEETING.
(8t CABLS—P»Z6S ASSOCIATION—COPTBIGHT.)(ADSTEALIAH AND K.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATIOK.)
(Received April 10th, 5.5 p.m.)
GENEVA, April 9.Gloom pervaded yesterday's meeting
of the Preparatory Disarmament Con-ference
M. de Bronckere said that, whereas) disarmament was the original aim, this
had been modified first to the reduction6f armaments, then to limitation, andfinally it seemed to have reached thestage when even the word limitationwaa too strong. Now it had come to aquestion of expenditure.
Lord Cecil endeavoured to dispel thepessimism by reviewing the work ac-complished.
Then Count Bernstorff struck another* discordant note, insisting that France
recognise her obligations underArticle Five of the Treaty of Versailles, and that the League dischargethe Mandate under Article Eight, bothdealing with disarmament.
M. Boncour replied with some heat,saying that it was true that the Treatylaid it down as the duty of the signa-tories to disarm eventually, but onlyaccording to the terms of the TreatyIt was true that Article Eight providedfor disarmament, but it took specificcognbance of geographical and otherconsiderations. Colonies' political com-mitments and other factors must beconsidered.
Count Bernstorff retorted to theeffect that Germany had disarmed, butshe could not be content to remain inthe midst of a Europe armed. The pa-tience of the German people in the faceof this problem had been greater thanthe world bad ever seen.• M Gibson (America), in an effort tosmooth matters, said that the essentialpart of the Commission's work was onlyjust begun
Mr Sato (Japan) and M. Rutgegs(Holland) spoke similarly, but it is con-sidered that the delegates realise thatthe issues are being forced into theopen and that a showdown is imminent.

Recently the Australian Mission in.spected the American Locomotive Com*pany's Works at Schenectady. Scotchpattern-makers stated that frequentsympathetic strikes in Schenectady de-stroyed Unionism several years ago.One foreman, who served his apprentice-ship in Glasgow said that the "DailyMail" Mission missed a point in itsenquiry. The real lesson to be learnedin America was that workers wero notafraid to finish a job quickly. Theidea in Britain was that workers want-ed to see another job coming beforefinishing the one" in hand. ''Americanswork rapidly, hoping to secure morejobs. British migrants to America al-ways must be taught the proper ideaof production."
MODERN METHODS.

(AWSTaAMAJ? A*D Sf.tf, CASH AB6OCIATJO*.)
(Received April 9th, 5.5 p.m.)NEW YORK, April 8.
Messages from Schenectady state thatfive minutes after the speeches of fourmembers of the Australian IndustrialMission broadcast at 5.30 this morn-ing, William Jackson, of the amateurradio station "2AHM" Schenectady,picked up Mr W. T. Watkins, of Ho-bart, Tasmania, who reported that in «
test message he heard every word from"WGY." It was a fine business, loudand clear, with good speech from all.He could even hear the microphonerustle.
Mr Guy Baid that he believed that theAustralian employers and employeeswould adopt those principles which theMission discovered were making for afeeling of contentment and happinessamong American workers. America haddeveloped efficiency into a science. Aus-tralia must pay more attention to sci-entific research. Amerioa granted everyfacility to inspect any plants the Mis-sion desirod to see.
: Mr Valentine said that, in view of| the hostility displayed towards the em-ployees' members before the Missionleft Australia and threats to prevailupon the American Federation of La-bour to refuse recognition of Austral-ians, they would be interested to learnin the United States that the Labourbodies refused to extend the hand ofwelcome and good fellowship. Manythings were to be learned in America."Some of your methods we shouldadopt. Others we. should avoid. TheUnions generally believe in encourageing higher production and efficiency."
The Mission Continued its investiga-tionof the plant of the Lenerat ElectricCompany, members being amazed at thedevelopment of the research laboratoriesincluding talking and singing cinemato-graphs.
The mission questioned officials of theCompany, whichhas a larger percentageof skilled men than the majority oiother industries inspected. The aver-age wage at the Schenectady plant isnearly three shillings per hour. Womenare earning upwards of three shillingsand fourpence per hour on piecework,placing and connecting coils in motors.They are better than men at this work.Moulders on big jobs aro earning• njn
wards of five shillings and three pence.Unskilled piecework moulders oh ma-chines are earning an average of three,shillings and fourpence. The companyis employing 350 apprentices on a fouryears' course, but with ho legal bind-ing.
At the H. Smith works the super-intendent said that they feared a short-age of' skilled labour. Companies likethe General Electric are being penalisedfor the general good. The automobileindustries were horrible examples whereskilled men. were not required. All-round skilled men would be made sickdoing repetition work.

MR CHURCHILL TO FACECRITICAL AUDIENCE.
(31 CABLE—PSSSS A6BOCIATIOXCOPYRIGHT.)(AUSTSALIAK AND F.S. CABLE ABSOCIATIOK.)
) LONDON, April 8.Mr Churchill is certain to face *
critical audience in the House of Com-mons on Monday with a record Bud-get of £800,000,000. The few who fore-saw the possibility of a slight easement
' of the huge burden of taxation havei recognised the hopelessness of it in the
~ enormous deficit.* The general strike and the coal strike■ have come home to roost, and the coun-, ti-y is faced by future burdens of taxa-
tion.Public opinion has been roused by
' speculation as to the form this willi take.
[ Ardent Government supporters ara; openly critical of the enormous Gov-
i ernmental expenditure, and Conservative newspapers unhesitatingly declare
, that the Government has failed to ro-deem its economy pledge. Instead ofreducing progressive expenditure bythe promised £10,000,000 there hasbeen an increase of £10.000,000.
Scores of Conservative back benchers,are perturbed at the position, and preasure from their constituencies has com-pelled them to band together to urgewholesale economy* It is expected ihatMr Churchill will make a raid on thesinking fund to the extent of £20,000,-000, and justify this step by referenceto the disastrous industrial year,though the soundness of this argumentis seriously questioned.
{load funds, provided by directmotor taxation, are certain to be raid-ed again, and this will allow the Chan-cellor to pass over the incotne-tax,concerning which public opinion is overstrong to risk an increase.
The tobacco duty will almost assured-ly, be increased further to the extentof seven pence a pound. It is said thatthe idea, is to tap the enormous profitsof the tobacco trade, and to preventtheir being passed on to the consumer.
Altogether, Monday's recital of thenation's financial affairs, promises tobe most gloomy. At the present mo-ment there is hot a gleam of hope forthe taxpayer. Everything is going on,and nothino- coming off This has caus-ed one of the strongest newspaper sup-porters to hint that the taxpayer canonly expect relief by the Governmentgoing out.

(Reeeired April 10th, 5.5 p.m.)NEW YORK, April 9.
At Boston last evening, the mostauthoritative discussion on Prohibitionsince the amendment was enacted, oc-curred when Senator Borah and MrButler, president q£ the ColumbiaUniversity, debated the question,'Should the .Republican national plat-
form for 1928 advocate the repeal ofthe Eighteenth Amendment?"
Air Aiutier, speaKing in the aiiirma-wve, outlined the following argumentin a iorty-nve minute speech:—-
Prohibition is in no direct sense aquestion ot morals. It is primarilyand chiefly a question of government.The Eighteenth Amendment is subver.sive legislation, and. a revolutionary!Act. It has nothing to do with the,form or structure of the Government,therefore it does not belong to the Con-stitution.
Prohibition has filled this nationwith traffic in intoxicating liquor, il-licit, illegal, untaxed and tremendous,ly profitable. Prohibition interfere*with the State's right to deal with thisquestion. There are States which donot desire Prohibition. It interfereswith local self-government.
The Eighteenth Amendment is the,worst way of dealing with the liquortraffic saloons. Prohibition agentsunder the guise of law enforcementcommit murder, entrapment, and solici-tations to crime. Law enforcement isimpossible when conflicting laws are tooe enforced.
The Eighteenth Amendment conflicts,with the Constitution. It attempt*to dragoon the body politic when thoneed is to convince it. This could endonly in revolt, and it has.
Senator Borah, speaking foe onehour, gave the following argument inthe negative:—-
j The liquor trafifc is a ours© to thehuman family, and must be dealt withby law in the same way. To protectthe public interest the Americanpeopledeliberately outlawed intoxicatingliquor. The system is entitled to afull trial before talking of repeal. Ibelieve it can be enforced.
The Supreme Court has declared thatthe Eighteenth Amendment is consti-tutional. Prohibition violation con-tinues, but the battle against evil rattsicontinue. We cannot talk of repealunless we have a substitute programmeready. Increasing the alcoholic con-tent to an extent greater than permit-ted under the Volstead Act is no solu-tion. Modification is sheer politicalexpediency. Government 6ale and dis-tribution of liquor is a scheme born ofconfusion. The Canadian system hasproved unsuccessful, and I do not thinkthe American people want to go backto the old saloons.
Government control means the oldI saloon under another name. Effortsbeing made against the EighteenthAmendment are deliberate organisedattempts to nullify the Constitution,Obedience to law is a fundamental prin-ciple, and upon this rests our Govern-ment. Dry States under a system ofcontrol of liquor by individual Stateshave their rights invaded by the ship-ment of liquor from wet States. Therehave been attemots from the very en-actittehi the Amendment to preventits oeiHp accented in the minds of theAmerican neonl.
Mr Butler had fifteen minutes forspeech in rebuttal of Senator Borah'sarennient.

WONDERFUL PROGRESS.
MARCONI GIVES EXPOSITION*
(Bt CJ.BI*—PRESS ASSOCIATES'—COfm«HV-)' l3r»Mt "Sv«" 8»VK».)
(Beeeired April 10th, 3.5 p.m.)LONDON, April 9.
' An interesting exposition of the1 progress made iu beam wireless was- given in the Board room at Marconir ilouso, in which was hung a page of
» "The Times" in sections recently, transmitted in foe-simile three-quar-
. ters of a mile away by wireless,f Senator Marconi strolled in, smok-
ing a cigarette, and invited the gueststo imitate him. He explained that
' the Australian beam system could deal' with 150,000 words daily, which was
treble the present cable traffic. Ho1 would shortly test shorter wave-r lengths to Canada and Australia in
. order to increase working hows and� carrying capacity and to overcomer fading. Present experiments pointed
t to the probable abolition or, at any, rate, a certain diminution of this, and
. it was hoped to secure a twenty-fourhours' angle Australian service by
t adding one or two wave-lengths.Senator Marconi said that already
, they were working double the number1 of hours specified in the contract. The
. present capacity was sufficient for, existing business. It was possible to
superimpose a telephone service on taetelegraphic services, enabling two tele-grannie and one telephonic services to-
, work simultaneously, obviating aepa-rate stations, and the apparatus forthis new development is under
I construction. The privacy, of thu' Australian telephonic communication
would exceed that of the American,' owing to its extra costliness of eaves-
dropping apparatus. Television andfac-simile transmission were possible,
' the latter facilitating long messages1 owing to it being unnecessary to spellout each word, thus economising opera-tional expenses.It is hoped shortly to establish beam
connexion with the United States, Ar-gentina, China, Japan, and othercountries.
The beam system, said Senator Mar-coni, would not render Rugby obso-lescent, as that station fulfilled a deft-
I nite and different purpose, and broad-casting did not clash with directionalwireless.
The Right Hon. Frederick Kellaway(managing director of Marconi's Wire-less Telegraphic Company, Ltd.) re-called that the success of the beamsvstem was pre-eminently due toMr Hughes's and Mr risk's (managingdirector of Amalgamated Wireles's)determination not to. submit to ; theweight of technical evidence in 1921 infavour of a relay system. Australia'ssmallest townships would soon - t bo.linked up with the main beam, obviat-ing outback isolation. This was alsoapplicable to India and other coun-tries.
Senator Marconi added that sconthe beam would enable concerts andspeeches to be transmitted betweenAustralia and England either way and
1 afterwards broadcast, listeners-in beingable to pick up with crystal sets any-where in the world. Picture trans-mission (when reliable travelling waveswere assured), would be as easy be-
; tween England and Australia aa.be-tween places half a ralle apart. C

Clovers are in good demand and some goodsamples are being submitted and meetingwith ready .sale at firm rates.

THE KING FERN.TO THI EDITOR Of WTI ; TRtBS.

"Wlieu I read of this fern, fthought it must be a tree-fern, butas it -was specially mentioned,' I thoughtit might be a different' variety' to theone usually found in that locality. Evi-dently it is the size that makes thisparticular fern conspicuous. No doubtit is a fine specimen of cyathea medul-laris. ' T think your .correspondent"Coast Fern Lover," is wrong when hesays..-jtlie,.Prince, of; Wales' feather be-longs to the same famly. The onlyconnexion is the-Royal, name. This fernbelongs to the' genus todea, and iscalled todea superba.—: Yours',' etc.,
FERN LOVER.
TO TIV» SDITOB OF THJ PKISShave read several letters in
your paper about this fern, and be-ing an ex-bushinan, was at first puzzledas to what fern was called the KingFern. I had never heard the nameused, by bushmen. but by the descrip-tion given by your correspondent.,"Coast Fern Lover," it must be theMamaku..that is meant. They are thegiant tree-fern, and not very well likedby bushmen, because the outer shell of.the trunk is very hard and has gappedmany_ a good axe. . The. smaller tree-fern, is called the Punga (not Bunga)..There are plenty of both the Mamakuand Punga growing on peoples' lawnsin the town of New Plymouth, and Ithink that the Punga would growall right about Christeluirch if plantedin a damp or shady place.—Yours, etc.,

THE FINANCE OF PROHIBITION.TO TBI CPITOS or THI Pllll
Sir,—Tour editorial of April 7th-in-vites the Alliance to meet certain pointsamongst which are'l—The actual econo-mic loss resulting from the use ofliquor. To reply to your query'in fullwould take more space than you wouldfeel disposed to give. But we can easilydemonstrate actual waste due to theliquor traffic in New Zealand. If wetake the value of foodstuffs destroyedin brewing, the salaries, wages, andoperation costs for breweries and malt-houses, and the cash exported to payfor wines and spirits in any one.year, asshown from present figures, we find thatthe annual cost to thesupposing not a drop of liquor were soldretail, amounts to £2,208,000. That isactual waste, arid on top of it we haveto remember that 977 persons havebeen engaged in making that which isharmful and destructive when theyshould have been employed in the pro-duction of useful, or at least harmlessthings." The losses due to the drinkinghabit are incalculable.
You ask us to meet * 'the increase in
expenditure that would be necessitatedby enforcement." In considering expen-diture one considers also what is ob-tained from that expenditure. Youhave instanced the U.S.A. Let us look atthe position there. In 1918 an officialpublication of the liquor interests assert-ed that National Prohibition wouldmean bankruptcy for thousands of manu-
facturers, wholesalers and retailers, mil-lions of dollars lost annually to insur-
ance men in premiums, and millionsmore lost to building constructors,whilst taxation <*ould .be enormously
increased to make good the loss of£145 000,000 annually of revenue, lhatis a;'fairly solid lot- to meet. Howhrs the country met it? The total costof enforcing prohibition • over seven
rears was stated in a cable messageto be £°23,000;000. During that sevenyears, according to Professor IrvingEisher, whose reputation econom-ist stands very high internationally, theadvantage accruing to the people dueto National Prohibition was £Mm,-000.000—or nearly thirty-seven timesmore than the. cost. This lookslike a
good • investment. Pressor Th ™a3
N'ixon Carver and Mr H. Hoover, Jo.rotarv for Commerce, .have both defi-niteiv montioned prohibition as a _ fac-to, 'in promoting the great nationalprosperity evident in the U.S.A.vxow how about revenue? Obviously
if there is a vast loss of revenue, taxa-tion increases appear - inevitable. Butwe have to remember that if New Zeslander* ceased to spend' the more than
£8,500,000-per annum 011 liquor, they.vill spend it on something else. Thatiioiiey cannot be spent'without in somemy contributing to revenue.. Take thepractical example of the U.S.A. Theiquor interests said taxation would beincreased, yet the eable news tells usthat during the last two years taxa-tion lias been reduced by the etupend-3Us sum. of £390,000,000. In additionincome-tax payers have received back10 to 12 per cent, of the taxes theyhad paid, and . this year taxation is tobe reduced., another £100,000,000.Where is the "increase in expenditurethat would be necessitated, by enforce-ment?" If "wet" cables are to be be-lieved, the government is confrontedwith the gravest problems and is spend-ing millions in an effort to enforce the'law while drawiug not a farthing fromthe legalised sale of beverage intoxic-.ants. The misleading nature of thisnews is evident when we see that theTreasury has immense surpluses andtaxation is reduced on an amazingscale.
It is not the province of ;the Alli-ance, any more than it was of the Anti-Saloon League in the U.S.A. to planschedules professing to show how thefinancial situation will right itself underprohibition. The U.S.A. has proved thatit does right itself, and that immenseeconomic benefit comes from ceasing tospend enormous sums on alcoholic bev-erages. If the liqnor traffic, ceases thedestruction of real wealth for which itis responsible will also cease. In addi-tion the money passed to the traffic byway. of retail sale- will remain in thepockets of the community. That moneywill circulate in other channels, and itcannot so circulate without contribut-ing to revenue. That is the basic fact. ■At present part of that money goes intothe Treasury collected by the liquortraffic. In future, other, traders, largerin number, mil collect it. Instead ofthe brewer, liquor-dealer, and bar-keep-er sharing in "this unwisely expendedcash, the grocer, clothier, bootmaker,furniture dealer, china-shop, fruiterer,butcher, baker, and scores of otherswill find their turnover increased byreason of the circulation between themof money now restricted to a limitedchannel. That inevitably means great-er prosperity for all.—Yours, etc.,

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.. TO THE EUITOR OF TH* P3B3S.
Sir,—ln your report of the Labourmeeting, in your issue ■of April Bth,Mr:K. T. Armstrong, M.P., states thatthe worst Labour candidate is, in bisopinion, better than the best Citizens'candidate. This shows how irrespon-sible a Labour Member of Parliamentcan be] or how gullible he must thinkthe Sydenham audience. He also statedthat lie knew that increased rates hitthe working people. Is he. aware thatMr Archer, the present' Mayor, hasstated during the life of the presentCouncil, that he does not care whatthe rate is; he would make, up a budgetof what'he'wanted to spend-and spendit whether the rate were od or 6d inthe £, as against the present 3 3-Sd.The other candidates•" are certainlyamusing, in so far as they appear tobe trying to capture the votes of theworkers by promising' tepid baths, chil-dren:,' playgrounds" municipal milk,houses for next to nothing, etc.. etc..tos«t.hor with reduced rates.

SANITATION ANDHEALTH.
DRAINAGE WORKSINSPECTED.
LABOUR-SAVING MACHINES.
The annual inspection of works, an'
of the sewage farm, was made by mem
i bers of the Drainage Board, member» of local bodies in the Board's districts and representatives of the Health De. partment, on Saturday. As comparei
with last year's inspection, the outj! standing feature this year was the es
r tent to which machinery, in the shap, of excavators, pneumatic rammers, an
such-like contrivances, has been adoptedAccording to the statement of one otlio Board's contractors (Mr Ala;Moore) the saving effected is fully 4'
. per cent, as compared with the cost under previous conditions when th
3 work was done by manual labour.5 At North Richmond, Stapleton'sroad, and Guild street (Messrs Boyle Bros.
. contract, £21,931) the party saw ai
i example of bad ground. The trend. has to be timbered, water has to b
1 pumped out, many of the workers hav. to wear gumboots, and. before the pipe
can' be laid a foundation of concretes on a sheet of corrugated iron, has to b<> built. Near-by the,No. 7 pumping sta
• tion is situated, and the members oi the party got their first introductioi
' to the artistically designed buildingin which the pumping machinery i
' housed.! Less difficult ground was experience'[ at No. 24 reticulation area (Roehdal! and Harakekc streets, Ricearton; B1 Moore and Sons, Ltd., £17.027). Heri
the trouble is water and shingle. Tin' contractors have a trench-digger ii. operation, and the machine, which dis
I places the work of twenty men, eaiexcavate, in good- country, five ehainiin length and five feet.deep a day, ancis eapablo of digging to a depth of 1(
• feet.At Milton and Barrington street!
(20(J reticulation area; Mr F. WBrightling, £18,452) conditions wenmuch better than on the previous contracts. Here the mechanical method oJfilling in the trench and of rammingdown the spoil was inspected. Atractor scoop conveyed the spoil to th(trench, where it was spread by hanclabour. When the trench is lilled thespoil is rammed firm by means of scompressor, the power being providecby petrol motor.
•At Fiiield terrace and Locarno streetOpawa (Mr Alan Moore, £16,934) an-other digger was seen in operation. Itis estimated to do, in two hours, thework of 44 men. The digger was atwork in Fifrcld avenue, which skirtsthe Heathcote River. Advantage waetaken of the visit of inspection to opeiiformally No. 20 pumping station (Lo-carno, street)." The ceremony was performed 'by the chairman (Mr 11. JOtley) and the chairman of the WorksCommittee (Mr J. W. Beanland). Wateifrom the river was let in, and the pumpswere started.
The next point visited was the No,11 pumping sta'tion, Randolph street
| Woolston, which was formally openedby the Mayor (Mr J. K. Archer), vrhcsaid that, the installation of drainagefacilities would be a great boon to the
residents in the locality. This pumpingstation site provod' to be in quicksandcountry,, and the contractor (Mr T.Pheloung) had to employ a diver' toassist in laying the concrete founda-tion. It plays an important part in thescheme. The sewerage of Fendaltqn andRicearton falls by gravity to the pump-ing station in Matai : street, Ricearton(at present under construction);tmmce it is pumped, through a risingmain to the corner of Barrington streetand Lincoln road, thence by gravity,collecting Spreydon and Sydenhamsewerage, to No. 20 pumping station(Locarno street), thence, by a risingmain, collecting part of the Woolstonsewerage, to No. 11 (Randolph street),whence it is pumped direct to thesewage farm through a 24-inch risingmain.
From Randolph street the party wentto 'the area, 54 acres, which is beinglevelled to form an extension of , theBoard's sewage farm. On this area ofsandhills, the contractors (Clark Con-struction Company, £25,349) have inoperation a clam shell bucket excavator,a-machine with a wide range, whichshifts the . sand by a process similarto that of a grab dredge. The opera-tions were watched for some time.
The Luncheon.The Board provided luncheon in a
marquee.on the sewage farm. Mr H.J. Otley presided and had on his rightMr Justice Alpers, Mr F. T. Cowlisbaw,and on his left the Mayor (Mr J. KArcher), Messrs J. J. TJougall, CyrusJ. It. Williams, and G. Flavell (chair-man of the Heathcote County Council).
After the toast of "The King" washonoured, the chairman gave a description of the £700,000 loan scheme. Hesaid the scheme provided for 19 pump-ing stations,-125 miles of sewers, andnine miles of risinig. mams. The con-tracts in hand at present were for 12miles 14 chains of main sewers and 55miles 28: chains of reticulation (total67$ ;railes) and 6.43 chains of _ risingmains. On the northern • circuit twoof the pumping stations were ready,and the other two were nearing com-pletion', and in another week Or so jthey would he ready, to take the whole ]of the eewerage of that side of the |City. On the southern circuit therewere three main pumping stations-two of which they had seen—and theothers would bei completed in a weekor two. In all the Board was preparedto take 16!*3 new connexions into thenew sewers. Complaint had been madothat the works were not being com-pleted fast enough, but after seeingthe nature of the ground in whichsome of the sewers were being laid, hethought they would admit that theBoard could be excused. The.farm wasbeing enlarged to the extent of 54acres, and tenders had been called forthe construction of a new septic tank.The extension was expected to be com-pleted in 12 months. By nest year itwas hoped that the bulk of the sewer-laying contracts would be let. Fromthe_ point of view of carrying outdrainage works they could not get aCity . much worse than Christchureh.They had seen some of the bad placesand he was sorry to say that there wereonly a few good places; the majoritywere deep and wet.. He would not saythat drainage had made Christchureh,but if it had not been for the workdone by those who started many yearsago, in the face of a large amount ofopposition, Christchureh would not hethe healthy place it was to-day. (Ap-plause..) The Board's Engineers hadhad to contend with great difficulties,and in his judgment they had done ex-cellently in getting the work so farforward. The Board's aim was towork amicablv with other local bodies,and if it did make a mess of thestreets he honed they would not sronlas the contractors and the Board weredoing their love] best to. get the work !done in the shortest time possible.

CANTERBURY V. AUCKLAND.. ■—~f—T -
I A WIN TOK'CANTERBURY.'Christchurch registered"a big win at
Auckland the other day,-when one.ofher most enterprising business men wonout from his Auckland competitors inan endeavour to secure a big financialbenefit for our people. It will be re-membered that the ship Northumber-land struck an uncharted object nearGisborne the other day, and the holdswere flooded. The ship waß carryinga big cargo of drapery among otherthings. Presently much of the cargowas wet.
The salvaged cargo was offered byauction at Auckland the other day, andeven the Auckland newspapers corcirmented on- the,, fact. that' Mr A. E.Armstrong, of T. Armstrong and Co., ofChristchurch, was the principal buyer.His inspection of the. goods, and hislong experience, showed him that thestuff was practically undamaged. Allit needed was drying out, and it wouldbe quite good again. Of .course, someof it would need washing, .but that was jto be expected of any shipwreck sal-vage stock. So he.bought some thou-sands of pounds worth, and bought itwell under-its.value. ..
The whole, of .the, .
purchases have since been dried out.Such things as. crash cushions, towels,bath mats, tapestries,.. curtains, andeven many of the handsome down.quilts,,show no sign of their having been im-mersed. Still, every piece of the pur-chase, whether equal to new or show-ing some sign of the accident, will besold at. strikingly low prices. Therewill be a tremendous rush, of course,but that is only to be- expected. . .—1

"With a number of horses away attho Hororata Meeting, training opera-tions at Riccarton on Saturday wererestricted, but a few interesting gal-
lops were recorded by candidates de-stined to race at the C..1.C. EasterMeeting. AH the work was accom-plished on the plough, which was ofa holding nature, as a result of over-night rain.

The- Harp was considered the bestproposition in the Hororata Cup oUSaturday, but after going three fur-.
- longs, he retired from the, contest, andalthough not pulled up, he cantered,home behind the field. His rider CEmerson, skated that the horse sudden-ly stopped galloping, and made no re-sponse to efforts to keep him going-It transpired that The Harp sufferedfrom heart trouble, of which he showedmarked signs on returning to the bird-cage. .

In spit© of His. recent ailment, I'oy.ilTractor ran veil in the Saudowii HaelcHandicap at Hororata on Saturday,but he lacked the necessary preparationto enable him to sec out the journey.
Sayouara suffered from an injuredfoot'during last week and on thisiiccmnt was not taken to contest tlioHororata Cup on Saturday. His stable-mate, Ophir, has also been on the easylist siuco the Ashburton Meeting, andfor this reason was not accepted forin the same event.

Grey Finch, by Greyspear fromAddra", Ixas given premise in her trackessays' ol' developing into a speedy gal-loper, and she was afforded, antimity on .Saturday of showing how shewould shape in a race. She, however,was slow to move off, and her riderhad trouble in keeping her on thacourse, eventually finishing some dis-tance away from tho placed horses.This was only her second effort withtho colours up, and sho is evidently
' in want of racing education.[ The Atom wa,s produced twice at

ADDINGTON TRAININGNOTES.
The rain that fell during, the early hours |of Saturday affected the track very slightly,and after- it had been harrowed providedsplendid going, getting faster as the morn-ing woro on.
B. Jarden was the early bird, sendin"Acre- and Mirie Billon a mile and a quar-ter. They gave a good showing and finishedvery worl.: . Haunui, alpne, covered a mile and a half,! and was doing iier best at thet finish.
Homer, assisted by Schoolmate over the£»st mile and a quarter, went two miles, andfinished up her : taa]i very Well, though shocould have improved on the time taken.King Dillon and Kreisler (the latter gavea lot of trouble before he would go) jumped:away from the two mile peg, bul the former
| was__
always doing it on the bit, and beatj Krefsler by a length. The time was slow,
: there being very little pace on over theiirst haif-mile.
Schoolmate was given a couple of sprint-ing ta3k;a on her own after working withHomer,
Peter Al'eiiiunoy hit out resolutely whilej ooveiiag two miles. He made one skip,i but he, lost nothing by it. Ho was eased
! up over the last furlong, but. hi3' time was i'good. . .
Transport, alone, covered alrAOst; two miles,the last mile and a half being done at a
1 very solid clip. He. did it in good styleand pulled uu well.

. Bridget (Jaliudoy Pete Peter, and anotherwent two miles, but were not asked for any-thing extra. «
A nice piece of work was 1witnessed whenI\\ Holmes, driving Talato, stood BeaOhauup, about four lengths, when jumping awayfrqm, the two mile peg. Ho was joined byBonny Logan at the mile. Ben Ohau actedas pacemaker for just over, six furlongs,
■ when he. was eased up,. and the other paircame on, the pace being on over the lasthalf-mile. Both' finished very woll, withTalaro, °« the' ou,tsid.e,, abo«t three-««BTtersof a length in, front in the fastesi go of thetftorning. r
A brown mare- of Q. McDermott's andJlejry Bihgen jumped away frora the. twoinilo! p?g, but after going a little ov«r aquarter Wild Hebe chipped in, and actedas pacemaker, Jletry Bingen, dropped outsrfter going a mile and a quarter, and theother pair continued on, finishing together.
Hebe., who. was. on the inner all theway, gavo «,' really good showing, us also didMcDermott's mare. .
Another piece of good work was witnessedwhen Sheik, who had Margalong in saddleas a pacemaker, was sent two miles. Mar-galong was doing- a lot of pulling in thoearly part, hut before the. two miles werocompleted Sheik took it all out of him.Though he was eased up over the last bit,tho performance of Sheik was a really goodone.
Bob Logan, Key Logan, and Logan Lilyjumped away from the mile post, but afterkeeping together for a circuit the first twona'nred. drew away, and, finishing an ingreal style, beat Logan Lily pointless.
Conara was not asked for fast work. Holooks none the worse for his outing at Ei-lesmere.
Nourmahal, "Wenlo, and Queep Ida wereworked together. The last-named was pulledoff after going a mile and a half. Thetrio gave a fair showing, Kaurmahal pleas-ing moßt.
St. Maura worked alone, covering a- mileand a half in fine style.
Great Peter and Sebisca were given acquple of circuits, but did not go fast.
Kota Bene, alone, covered a mile and ahalf at a good solid pace all the way, and
• pulled up weJ!.(lolden Bubbles moved easily over about a
mile and a half, but the time was onlymoderate. Kiddle has this mare lookingvery well.
Little Logan and a companion went amile and a half, doing it nicely.
Harry Audubon and Bold Bill were com-panions over a solid run mile and a half.Tho former, who was op tho outside, had aslight call as they crossed the line.
Loeanda Mac, who also had Margaleng insaddle ns pacemaker, covered a mile ingreat style, and faat into the bargain.
Sarella, Nurrai, and Stunt Artist went amile and a quarter well, the ' last-namedgoing on for two miles.
Mcb. who was assisted by a saddle com-panion, covered two miles in fine 6tyle, andcould have improved on the time.
An interesting piece of work was witness-ed when W. J. Tomkjnson brought out Xau-land, Kteoar. Direct Wood, Logan Park,and Be'.l Harold, and with Escot chippingin, they went a mile and three-quarters.Klzcar, wiio was favoured by several lengthsat the slart, was pacemaker most of theway, Bell Harold taking up the role .overthe concluding stages. The pace was onright through, and the time good, withNanland on the outside always in the van.Bofl Harold did not go the full journey.
Stormy and Logap Holme jumped aw»-from the two piile peg and slipped alongat a solid bat, but were eased off over tholast furlong, with Stormy on the outside
f having most in reserve at the finish. Logan' Holme tired badly; two miles Eccma Iq be abit beyond him.
HORORATA R.C.
ANNUAL MEETING.
GAY QUEEN WINS CUP.
The Hororata Racing Club was favouredwilli ideal weather conditions for ils an-nual raca meeting, held on the Hororatalaeocourse on Saturday, and a most enjoy-able outing resulted. The public assembledin large numbers from all parts of the. sur-rounding district, and a strong contingentof visitors attended from Christchurcli. De-spite small fields in some of the gallopingeventa, tlio riicing throughout was of a inojt
interesting nature, and splendid finishes weicwitnessed in every race. The fixture waswell managed, and there were no incidentsduring .the day's proceedings to interferewith the smooth running of tho [.•rn>;ra:i)u:<i .The various officials spared no ofi'urt tn at-.tend 1o the want 3 of all coucernet, and it15 saie to say that the ileetiug can beclassed as the most pucces3l'ul from a racing and social standpoint in the history of theprogressive and popular country club. Thesecretary, Jlr A. If. Noall, had the arrang"-raents cormplcto in every detail, and witha. slight increase in the totalisr.tor returnsand the. gate receipts, he should lie in aposition to present a. satisfactory balance-sheet to his committee.. The contest for the Hororata Cup evinced
profound interest, ana the victory gained byMr B. Hampton's consistent performer GayQueen was received with outstanding en-thusiasm. At the conclusion of the race,the- hftncUQiUc cup accompanying the sialic,given by Messrs J. G. Macdonald and B. B.■Wood, was handed to Mr Hampton by Mrs11. M. Reeves. Isi thn absence of the pie-sident of the Club. Mr 11. A. Knight, MrAV. Deans, one of the vice-presidents, in anappropriate speech, congratulated the ownerof the winni'r oi>. the success of his candidate,and tho ploasuro of all connectedwith tlio club in realising that tho eventhad been annexed by an owner who patron-ised the racing game iij a small but eytuts-uianliko way. He also referred to the guiier-o:-ity of the donors in augmenting the valueof tho stake by unsolicitcdly presenting thetrophy, as well as providing one of the con-testants for the race. Mr Hampton brieflyreplied, staling that ho participated, in t]iosport as an ownur merely for the sahe oftho enjoyiuent ho derived from jt, and wouldlook upon the possession of the cup, thefirst he had annexed, as one of the mostpleasing features of hia connexion withracing.
As was to he expected with several smallfields, speculation on tho totalisator waslimited, but, nevertheless, tho total for thoday showed a slight increase as eomparodwith last year's gathering. Tlio sum of.£7517 was handled, made tip of ,£1533 ontho six galloping events and £2931 on thetwo trotting races. Last year the total was£7J32 (gallops £5369 10s, and trots £206-2 JOs),representing an increase- this year of £35.

RESULTS,
y Chris'chuich 19 beat Albion 11.cl 'Varsity 23 beat Old Boys 7.r'- A fair crowd oi spectators was present at} Lancaster Park on Saturday, when friendly
" games were played between Christchurch and[ Albion and between 'Varsity and Old Boys.
f Considering that it was so early in thei- season, the form shown in both izauica was
t 0j a surprisingly high standard, auguringI wei; £ or tho matches to follow. Christchurch
; beat Albion by 19 points to 11 and 'Varsity5 accounted lor last year's premiers by 23
5 to 7.if Christchurch Beat Albion.> Christchurch were rather too good for Al-
bion, especially in the back division, even. although they changed some of their players
I in the second apel>, but in the forwards
■ there was little difference. _ In the first -spedi Christchurch scored 10 points and Albion 8.
I Tries were scored for the Bed and Blanksi fcy Matbieson (J), Scrimshaw, and White,■ Mullan converting two, and for Albion by
Mortlook and Baxworthy, one of which was1 converted by Lilburne. In the seccad spell
Raxworthy obtnined a goal for Albion andFarrant a try for Christchurch.
Of the Christchurch players, McGregor: and Mardon, the latter being a new arrival
from Hawke't, Bay, combined well, andwero prominent in several passing move-ments. The former waß as quick as • ver offthe mark, and frequently came round againto take a second pass. With the betterunderstanding of each others' play, thatit bound to come to them when they geta few games together, they should be a hardpair to heat in the inter-club competition.Kobilliard showed good piny on several occa-sions, ind Mullan at halfback lived up tohis reputation, the remaining back* all per-forming creditably. •
H. Lilburne, who, contrary to. rumours, isnot leaving Christchurch, was tho most con-spicuous player on the Albion side, beinga tower of strength both on attack and -de-fence. One of his 'tins down the sicMinein the first spell was reminiscent of F,!vyat his best, s>nd he jinked a number _ofopponents, heating them badly before givinga \jasß to Baxworthy, who scored from it.Fujcworthy and Morflock were others ''ho
no well in the Black rearguard.Scrimshaw, Gordon, rnd were ron
soieuo"s (itnonw the Bed and Blnek forwards, <nr.d "Son" White, of .SnnWlnnfl, camein for a "hare of the I'meliVht.' Of a hard-working Black p-.ek. Wvlie eauirhtthe eye f«r pood plßy, and Brian MeCVarvnJioTfd that he has not ret forsotten hovto follow up.
Mr .T. TT".mpton controlled .the game.
'Vars'tr Beat Old Bovs. IOld Boys and 'Varsity engaged in a willing !
tucslo on tho south ground. Most of last jyear's players turned out for Whites, hut jthero were many new faces among the jwearers of tho' Maroon. As was to have jbeen expected, some of the handling was 'crude, but Dalley and other hacks on either ;side proved early that they had lost none oftheir cunning in the off season. Rutherford iscored a try for College when he intercepted ia passing movement initiated by Dalley ISimmers had a clear run in when he gath !crod in Rutherford's transfer, and Loveridge jkicked tho first goal of the' season on this Iground. Burrows, the 'Varsity captain, went .off with injured ribs. After Dalley had jfooled the opposition with a dummy, Cromb jsnapped a successful shot from the field ,thirty yards out. Then Alexander waß car jried off with an injured knee. Alley was ;grassed near the lino a little later, and jFookes snapped up and scored under thoposts for Loveridge to convert.
Early in , tho socond half Dewar divedover at the corner for Maroons, Loveridge'skick from near touch bouncing over the barBreaking away in his own half, Oatderpassod to Grant when they reached the Whitecutsodian, and another try resulted. Thistime Loveridge did not convert. After aclean breakaway by Simmers and Bryden,Bennett touched down for College and Love-ridge again added the extra points. An ex-collont try came to Old Boys off a movementstarted by Dalley and S. Carleton andfinished off by Mortlock. Dalley's kickfailed. The final score was: College 23, OldBoys 7. Mr E. Empson was referee.-

GRADE MATCHES PLAYED.
The Canterbury Football Association open-ed its season on Saturday last, when matchesin the senior and junior grades were decided.The increased number of entrants in allgrades would suggest that a remarkable re-vival in the gome is afoot. Particularly isthis noticeable in the junior grade, where
i twelve teams have nominated, as against sixlast season. Ten senior teams competed inSaturday's games, and the scores would sug-gest that the contestants in this grade ap-proach equality. ■ Renewed interest in thocode is manifest in the schools, and it is

raids, hut the Maroons were not to be (le "' e'''and Watts narrowly missed. Berry then
crossed to Morlev, and Tripe was calico onto gather a rising shot. Lytteltou took ahand, and a great run by Ives promised re-sults, but Streeter relieved. A moment laterIves piloted a great shot to goal, but John-

WHY YOU HAVEINDIGESTION.
How to Believe it.When food enters your stomach, largequantities of aeid-bearing gastric juicearo at once secreted. If too much gas-
tric juice is secreted, the food soonbecomes a sour, ferm silting mass, whichmay remain in the stomach severalhours, causing great pain and dis-tress. Instant relief can be obtainedin cases of this kind by taking halfa teaspojMiful of "Bisurated" Magnesiapowder or two or three tablets in alittle water, immediately after eating,or whenever pain is felt. This safely,surely, and quickly neutralises the ex-cess acid, stops the fermentation, soothesand heals the inflamed stomach lining,and at once restores painless, normaldigestion. Get a package of "Bisurated "Magnesia from your chemist to-day.Use as directed, and you can laugh atdigestive troubles. —6

IIn the middle of January last, wordwas cabled from London statingit was believed that where othershad failed, DUNLOP—EnglishDunlop—had succeeded in buildingmotor tyres capable of enablingMajor Segrave to attain the world'smotoring record of two hundredmiles an hour.
A further cable was received a fewdays later with the good news thatin a test these Dunlop Tyres hadbeen subjected to the same strainas on a racing track with the mostsuccessful results.
Then in February, Captain MalcolmCampbell, using Dunlop Tyres,
! established a new world's record of174.22 miles per hour on the PendineSands.Now word has come that MajorSegrave has not only reached the200 miles an hour he at, butactually exceeded miles an hour
Bimlop.
The same research work and manufacturing* resources,which made the above achievement possible, standsponsor for the truth of the saying-
