A PUBLIC LECTURE will be' givenon the above. subject, with speoial

reference to ' 'GENERAL FENG AND HIS CHRIS-TIAN SOLDIERS,"The Chinese Cromwell and )£fc

Ironsides,"In the

TOWN HALL (CONCERT CHAMBER),FRIDAY, 19th SEPTEMBER, 1924,

At 8 o'clock.Lecturer: MR. S. GLANVILLE, of the

C.I.M.Chairman, MR.. C. J." DRAKE.

Mr. Glanyillo is a New Zoalandor. whohas spent many years in China. He-hastravelled thousands of miles in his spe- 'cial work of visitation of Missionaries andreporting on various fields. As a keen,observer, he has dosoly. studied the peo-ples and problems of "the great ChinesoKeyublic, and has an interesting story totell regarding General Feng and his Chris-tian soldiers.

GENERAL FENG was a 'heathen sol-dier in the Chinese army in the days oftho Boxer Rising; in 1900. The seed thensown by martyred Missionaries, his sub-sequent treatment and kindness shownmm in a Mission Hospital, aud the ul-timate appeal by Dr. J. R. Mott inPeking in, 1913, were responsible for de-livering this man from " "the powers ofdarkness' and leading him to a full anddefinite surrender to God's'service.

' The history of the Church in China isa record of tho "New Acts of, the Apos-tles., Come and hear the interesting.story of General Feng, "a good soldier ■'of Jesus Christ."Will Ministers and lay preachers'please

intimate this lecture at all services to-morrow (Sunday). . ■"- \

Our country' is in so hopelessa condition from bad men in highplaces that, were it not for my

' faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,- I--would givo it all up and spend myremaining years in a' hermit's 'cell.—General Feng. . ~

Evening Post.SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1924.

A REPORTED DISCOVERYAbout five centuries ago the townof Padua was en fete for a most ex-

traordinary reason. In 1360 atablet had been dug. up within theMonastery of St. Justina, whichoccupied the site- of an ancienttemple in that town. The open in-scription on the tablet, which be-gan -"V. F..T. Livius Liviae T..F.Quartae," was taken to refer toTitus Livius, thegreatest of Romanhistorians and the greatest ofPadua's citizens, who had beendead some thirteen hundred years.The tablet was accordingly trans-ferred by the piety of-the Benedic-tine Fathers-to the vestibule oftheir chapel, and a portrait of Livywas painted beside it. But a mereinscription, even when accom-panied by a fancy portrait, did notsuffice fo> stir the popular .fancy.It required "grounds more relativethan,this," and had to wait morethan half a century before they■w-ere forthcoming. Professor Wil-liamRamsay, from whose article onthe historian in Smith's "Diction-ary of Greek and Roman Bio-graphy " our information is taken,describes the climax as follows:

In 1413, about fifty years after thediscovery just described,' in digging theioundations for the erection of newbuildings in connection with tho monas-tery, the workmen reached an ancientpavement composed of square bricks ce-mented with lime. This ' having beenbroken through, a leaden coffin becamevisible, which was found to contain hu-man bones. An old monk declared thatthis was the very spot above which thetablet had been found, when immediate-ly the cry arose that the remains- ofhvvy had been brought to light, a reportwhich filled the whole city with joy. Thenew-found treasure was deposited in thetown hall, and to the ancient tablet amodern epitaph was affixed. At a subse-quent period a costly monument wasadded as a further tribute to his mem-ory.

"Here," says Professor Ramsay,with a. levity which one is notaccustomed to expect in-works oflearning, ." it might have been sup-posed, these weary bones would atlength have been permitted to rest■in.peace.".' But it was nob to be.Alphonzo V. of Aragon, a protag-onist in the early Renaissance, anda devotee of.-learning who is saidto have " carried Livy or Caesar onhis campaigns with him," and evento have been cured of an illness byhaving a .few pages of QuintusCurtius read to him, took a fancyto carrying a part of Livy with himin a strictly literal sense. At atime when, as King both of Sicilyand of Naples, his words carriedmore weight in Italy than those ofa mere disinterested lover of learn-ing, Alphonzo sent a request toPadua for the bone of Livy's rightarm, " in order that he might pos-sess the limb by which the immor-tal narrative had been actuallypenned.' 1 After apparently a con-siderable delay, the request washonoured, but just as the preciousrelic reached Naples Alphonzo died,and it-fell into other hands, bywhich, we are told, it was "en-shrined with an appropriatelegend." "Legend," with its sug-gestion of myth and fairy tale, isjust the. right term, for it wasproved in due course that the bonesunearthed at I'adua were those notof Titus Livius the historian, but ofsomebody else of the same name.The patriotic piety of the goodpeople of Padua had been the vic-tim of one of,the most brilliant andsustained of involuntary hoaxes.

But the veneration in which thememory of Livy was held by alearned world free from any sus-picion of local bias took more pro-fitable shapes than the glorificationof imaginary relics."1Hewas studiedwith an enthusiasm excited by fewof the ancient writers, and greatefforts were made to-fill the gapsthat time had made in the manu-scripts.' The most voluminous ofancient historians, Livy presented aproportionately easy target to allthe enemies of books in the daysbefore printing.'"- His "History ofRome " is supposed to have beenprojected in 150 books, and he wasfortunate in living to complete 142of them, but he has. paid .thepenalty for his prolixity. He hadgiven too many hostages to fortune.The " disjecta membra" of hisgreat work have been collected andpublished piecemeal in a fashion towhich no other writer has had tosubmit. The " editio princeps "which appeared in -1469 containedtwenty-nine books only, and brokeoff in the middle of a chapter. Bysuccessive instalments which 'wereadded at intervals during the six-teenth and seventeenth centuriesthe total was brought to thirty-five.The feverish anxiety of the learnedworld to find the missing books iswell described by Professor Sam-say:

From the revival, of letters until thereign of Louis XIV. the hopes of thelearned were continually excited and tan-talised by reports with regard to com-plete MSS.:. of the great historian.Strenuous exertions were made by LeoX. and many other European potentatesiv their efforts toprocure a perfect copy,which at one time was said to be de-posited at lona in the Hebrides, at an-other in Chios, at another in the. mon-astery of Mount Athos, at another inthe seraglio of the Grand Signor, whileit has been confidently maintained thatsuch a treasure was destroyed at thesack of Magdeburg; and there can. be nodoubt that.1a MS. containing the wholeol! tho Jift.h decade .it least was once inexistence- at Lausanne. Tales, too, werecirculated aud eagerly believed of leavesor volumes having been seen or heardol: under strange and romantic circum-stances; but the prize, although appar-ently often within reach, always eluded

■the- grasp, and the pursuit has Jong sincebeen abandoned in desptfiv'lDespair had been exchanged not

.fcr lioyg bjjLt for achjeyeineat, ac-

cording to,a cable messagereceiveda few weeks ago and confirmed onTuesday last. In a monastery atSan Salva-tora, Professor Martino-fusco was reported to have foundthe whole of the 107 missing booksof Livy, and Professor Delia,Superintendent of the NationalLibraries, has confirmed thereport.But to-day's news that the dis-coverer lias failed to answer theItalian Government's summons toproduce the treasure, and that thepolice have failed find any tracejof it iv his house, suggests unpleas-ant doubts. Seeing that at thistime of day it is hardly .conceivablethat any monks could be found ivEurope stupid enough to part withsuch a treasure, the failure of ,thepolice raid does not in itself amountto much. On the other hand, whyany need for secrecy unless the pro-fessor is the perpetrator or the vic-tim of a fraud? The alleged dis-covery at the same time of some-thing of incomparably greater in-terest and value than all the lostbooks -of Livy—"a history ofChrist, written in the year 58,"and therefore probably antedatingthe earliest of our Gospels bytwelve years or more—does notheighten the credibility of thestory. Yet on this point also it issaid to be confirmed by ProfessorDelia. Are we in the presence of jtwo of the most amazing literarydiscoveries of the ages, or of twoof the most audacious frauds 1 Itwill be well to suspend judgmentlest we "fall in" as badly asAlphonzo V. and his friends inPadua.

ROAD REVENUE

We referred yesterday to thetraffic regulation provisions of theMotor Vehicles Bill. These, how-ever, are only half of the measure.It contains also the motor taxinglegislation to complete the revenueprovision of the main highwaysscheme. The Bill adopts the flat-rate tax, and, from the discussionin the House, this would appear tosatisfy no one wholly. It has beenadopted as a compromise; butplainly itdoes not meet fully the re-quirements of a road tax.: It canscarcely be disputed that such a taxshould be based on use. This isfair to the usersand fair also to theroad-makers. Further, it is fair tothe railways which must competewith road traffic. While road traf-fic escapes its fair share of the con-struction and maintenance cost* ofthe permanent way it has an unfairadvantage (leading to economicallyunsound competition) over the rail-way. But if the road tax is a flatrate the constant user cannot becompelled to pay in full withoutexacting an unjust contribution,from the casual motorist. TheMotor Vehicles Bill provides a lowscale which will not press heavilyupon the casual road-iiser. But itcertainly lets the constant user offlightly. To'some extent this is off-set by the tire tax'; but severalspeakers' in Thursday's debatethought it would yet be necessaryto introduce thepetrol tax if justicewere to be attained.

Hitherto the argument usedagainst the petrol tax has been thatits imposition would necessitate ex-tensive exemptions and allowancesfor petrol consumed off the roads—in- stationary engines, motor-boats, -lighting,, and so on. It isimpossible, it appears, at'this stageof the session to devise a method ofmeeting this objection without risk-ing the passage of the Bill in thedisputes that would arise: but thetax may still be kept in mind andthe experience ' and methods ofother countries be investigated.The establishment of licensing'machinery in"the meantime is es-sential. Whatever the final taxing-method may be, there must be re-gistration of cars and an up-to-daterecord of ownership must be com-piled. With this record availableit will be possible to form a moreexact judgment upon taxation ques-tions and also upon the allocationof the tax money. The system nowin operation, or proposed, cannotbe deemed just to the larger cities.The Highways Board decision, notto assist the larger bodies has thiseffect. City members made no pro-test against this on Thursday, pre-ferring apparently not to raise is-sues which might obstruct the pas-sage of the Bill. But the arrange-ment is too inequitable to continue,and while the legislation now un-der consideration may be acceptedas better than nothing, it is cer-tain to require revision and recon-sideration in a future session.

ORDERLY PROGRESS

Addressing an East Coast depu-tation on Thursday, the Minister ofPublic Works gave a, hint of a, re-formed method of work-planning.He said the Department was anxi-ous to draw up a programme ofrailway development, and he hopedto present that in his Statementthis session. If the Minister hasin mind "a programme coveringseveral years ahead, his proposal isone which should meet with 'wideapproval. Already there is a long-termplan of hydro-electric develop-ment; and a similar plan for rail-way building aud improvementwould be equally advisable. Itwould enable tho Government toarrange tho finances well ahead oftime, to make- the best use of lab-our and plant, and to give greatersatisfaction to the people concern-ed in the works. Complete satis-faction would not bo possible un-less all works could be placed at.&£feM fi| .tJl§ Mstukiit ik'3 fieopJe

whose railway had to be held upfor a few years would not sufferfrom knowing the fact at once. Notthe least of the advantages apper-taining to a prearranged schedulewould be that it would discouragethe constant agitation for preced-ence. Moreover, in it precedencewould ba decided upon considera-tions of merit and urgency, and notagitation. Railway votes would boremoved, at least to some extent,from, the field of politics. One ob-jection that may be raised is thatany schedule which sets out workfor a period of years is liable tobe. upset by changed circumstances',)shortage of money or labour, orother factors which cannot be an-ticipated with certainty. But therewould be sufficient elasticity in theschedule to meet this difficulty. Theprogramme would be a guide, butnot an unalterable plan. We hopethat the Minister will bo able toinclude it inliis Statement.

LOCAL AND GENERALLord Jelhcoe is expected to lay theloundatioii-stone of the Dunedin Ex-hibition on the afternoon of 13th Oc-tober. Nearly 200 men are now em-ployed,m tho erection of the Exhibition'Buildings.The small girl, or boy, who rises withalacrity from the. piano stool after aquarter "of "an hour's studious (?) prac-tice on the ground that the piano is atiring institution might well have thetacts of the case as established by theofficial accompanist, Mr. Harold Whittleat th 6 competitions, brought under heror Ins notice. Up till yesterday Mr.Whittle haa played" just over 1100 ac-companiments, some of them over and

over again, very many times. He, too,may have been, tired, but there is no.record of his complaining of weariness.The question of ho-sy much time alabourer lost through wet weather wasunder discussion at . the ArbitrationCourt in Auckland yesterday (states"The Post's" correspondent), when Mr.Justice Frazer remarked, "When they

come t here they tell us about 20 percent." Mr. Prendergast replied thathe was told of an instance the otherday where a carter employed a water-side worker to assist him in removingfurniture. "When they got about halfthe furniture off the cart," said Mr.Prendergast, "rain began to fall

t so thewatersider knocked off.".,

The Dunedm Savings Bank cele-brated its diamond, jubilee yesterday.During its 60 years' history (states "ThePost's" correspondent) over £27,000 hasbeen contributed by the bank to variouspublic institutions of the city, havingfor their objects the welfare and ad-vancement of citizens. Nor have thesenoble gifts been made at the cost .ofdepositors, for there has never been atime when the bank failed to : pay ahigher rate of interest than that grant-ed by the Government through the PostOffice' Savings Bank. ■ Since 1914 therate of interest paid by the bank hassteadily risen, advancing in 1915 to 4per cent., in 1915 to 4i per cent., in1920 to 4J. per cent., in 1921 to 4a percent., tho rate at which it now stands.- Many of the strawberry beds inAuckland ■ suffered severely by the ex-ceedingly Heavy rain during last Sun-day night (states the "Star").' On seve-ral sloping plots a large number ofplants were silted up, and others againwere washed out,' the work put in bythe growers during the fine spell inloosening the earth around the roots ren-dering this disaster all the more readyof accomplishment. The plants gener-ally, however, axe responding to thewarmer atmosphere, and new growth isapparent. Nevertheless, crop prospectsare far behind previous seasons. Theoutput from the Auckland - suburbanbeds will fall considerably short of re-cent^ years. In the first place well overa million plants less were put in. owingto some growers relinquishing the in-dustry because of its unprofitable naturelately, while others reduced their areasunder .cultivation. The extraordinaryrainfall experienced during the plantingseason was most detrimental to thoyoung plants, accounting for fully one-fifth of the plants being destroyed bythe excessive moisture. This will meana considerably reduced yield. "With thewarmer weather, and intermittent lightshowers, the beds should now make goodprogress. -A distressing scene was. witnessed inthe Hamilton Magistrate's" Court puThursday, when George Ahier (40), ofTe Awamutu, created a. scene oil beingordered by Mr. F. W. Platts, S.M., toa term of two years' detention on Eo-toroa Island for breaches of his pro-hibition order. Senior Sergeant'Mathewsaid there were seven charges againstAhier of entering premises dur-ing the currency of his order. On 4thSeptember he was found lying help-lessly drunk in the street-'at Te Awa-mutu, and on that occasion was re-manded to Mount Eden for seven Mays'medical treatment. The Magistrate saidhe knew the case from experience inthe Te Awamutu Court, and it wasa particularly distressing instance of aman becoming the victim of drink. Aperiod at Rotoroa Island might makehim a decent and law-abiding citizen.When the Magistrate pronounced sen-tence Ahier, with a loud cry, placedhis hands over his face and burst intotears. Through his sobbing he' calledout, "Don't, don't," and pleaded withthe Magistrate to let him procure asolicitor and have the case- defended.The Magistrate, hpwever, merely arose,and this being the only case for hearingloft the Court. Accused continued hisoutburst, and declared that there werehundreds of others far worse than' liewho had not received anything like suchharsh treatment.

"After all," said the Mayor, Mr. R.A. Wright, in opening the" WellingtonHorticultural Society's fourth, springshow at the Concert Chamber yesterdayafternoon, "there are only a, few of thethousands of Wellington who ta.ke areal interest iv producing flowers, yeteveryone, young and old, loves flowers.New Zealand is a young country with asmall population, yet I believe thatthere ore here a greater number of lov-ers of the beautiful than in any'othercountry in the world, and this society isundoubtedly doing a very, great deal tofoster that love to a greater love again.Great strides have been made in NewZealand in the beautifying 'of cities andtowns, yet much remainc. to be done:this society is doing its share in thework." The society aimed particularlyin interesting young peop?e, said Mr.Wright, and when it did that it did avery great deal. The young mind, wasimpressionable, and when upon it wasimplanted that love of the beautiful wiihit also was implanted a respect for therights of others. "'Perhaps the time iscoming, 1 believe that there aro siignstlint. it is coming now,'' continued Mi.Wright, "when wo will bo able to haveour homes and gardens without fences,not fearing that they will bo destroyedor robbed." He warmly congratulatedthe society on the splendid results of itsefforts oC four years, for to-day (lieWellington' Spring Show was looked uponas_ one of the. most important in tht> |ji\-niiniun, and for to-morrow the prospectswere <s;£§diugly_ jn'.ojuusiiig..

The trouble which, led to the minersat the Linton Mine, Ohai, Southland,ceasing work on 27th August, was set-tled yesterday, and work will be resum-ed on Monday, states a Press Associa-tion message from Invercargill. Some72 men- were affected by the strikjwhich caused a total loss in wages of.£1200.

Yesterday afternoon, in the presenceof a very large assembly at the SarjeantGallery, Lord Jellicoe handed over tothe city the six magnificent picturespre-sented to the 'gallery by LordLeverhulme, states a Press As-sociation message from -Wanga-??1',/rhe Pictures are: "Curiosity"by Yon Bless), "Healthy Appetite"(badler), "A Greek Water Carrier infcgypt" (Sir Wjlham Richmond), "This-be (Burne Jones), "The Toast is Brit-am (Fred Roe), and "The Fountain ofYouth (Burne Jones). Tho collectionlias evoked enthusiastic praise from artcritics.ilhe Wanganui woollen mills were of-ficially opened yesterday by Lord Jelli-coe, states a Press Association message.Hie Mills are regarded as the most up-to-date inthe Dominion, all the machin-ery being of the latest design. Themanager, engineer, and heads of depart-

ments, as well as-many operatives, havebeen brought out from Scotland. Thewhole of the capital, £200,000, wasraised m the Wangauui district, butonly 10s in the £1 has-been called up.llie mills have been working in-a smallway for some weeks, in order to ensureeverything being in order, and a num-ber of local people are wearing suitsmade of cloth woven at the millsAmong these is the Mayor, who worethei suit at the opening ceremony yes-A particularly,, abnormally mean,tnelt was perpetrated yesterday morn-

ing prior to tho opening of the Welling-ton Horticultural Society's SprhurShow, one of the exhibitors losing lomlot his finest blooms, and in particulara bloom on which, in his" opinion ■ thechampionship of the show might pos-sibly have been bestowed. A champion-ship was, in fact, bestowed upoii abloom.remaining, yet 'this grower's re-collection of the show cannot be ashappy as it would otherwise have been,even had the pride of his spring gar-den been unplaced. Possibly the sneakthiet had no eye for outstanding excel-ence, and stole a- handful of blooms hap-hazard possibly otherwise, but at anyrate the finest blooms from that standdisappeared from the hall. ' ' ■Replying to the Leader of the Oppo-sition (Mr. T. M. Wilford), in TeHou?e ofRepresentatives last night, theMinister of Justice (the Hon. C. J. Parr)stated that a BIU was being preparedwhich he^would introduce this sessionplacing the superannuation of Magis-trates on a much improved basis. Adraft ot the Bill had been made, and ithad been sent to the Government Ac-tuary to ascertain what the cost, ofgiving effect to the proposals would beMr. Parr said that he sympathised withtne Magistrates in respect to their sup-erannuation. In some cases Magistrateswent on-to the> Bench when they were45 oi' 50 years of age, and they drew acomparatively small amount in compen-sation when they retired, while menwho had entered the service as boyswerem. a puch better position.

bpeaking at the annual reunion of theCommercial Travellers and Warehouse-men s Association last evening, Mr. T.W.

Cant«-bul'y branch,±821; Oddfellows" Society, £664; MrOolemau, Hawkes Bay, £1000. Thefundhad now reached- a total of £7106 Ofthis sum, £500 had been given to St.Dunstan's Home for tho Blind in Knc-land £4010 to the Now Zealand menwho had lost their Bight iv the war,leaving a balance of- £3633 in hand,lwo blind soldiers, Messrs. J; M'Gowanand J. N. Thompson, were present, andreturned thanks to the association forwhat they had done for blind soldiers,

v While commending in the House ofRepresentatives yesterday the system ofexchanging' school teachers with .othercountries, thereby widening their per-spective, the Leader of the Opposition(Mr. T. 3VL Wilford) offered a sugges-tion in regard to broadening the outlookof the children attending the .publicschools, and cementing together thevarious parts of the Empire. While inthe Malay States, some months ago, hesaid, he had suggested to the head-master of a school at which the childrenin the higher classes were studyingEnglish that they should write letterswhich he would undertake to distributeamong the children of the schools in hisconstituency, so that they might reply.'As a result, said Mr. Wilford, .he re-ceived 22 letters from the boys of theMalayan School, ..some of which wereexcellently written. He distributed theletters at a school in his electorate, andthe headmaster was delighted withthem, declaring that some of them couldnot have been excelled, by his bestpupils. The children had undertakento write back, telling the boys of theMalay States something about NewZealand. That system might be de-veloped on a general scale, as was donein Canada and some other parts of theworld. He felt sure that it would pro-duce very valuable results. Copies olthe School Journal might also be» sentto schools in other countries. The Min-ister (the Hon. C. J. Parr) agreed thatthe suggestion .was a very useful one.

A remarkable ease of a youth's con-cealed identity was revealed at Raetihilast Week, when an inquest was reopenedconcerning the death of a young manwho died from injuries received whilebushfelling. A previous inquest liadbeen held, and the young, man wasburied in the name of Maurice Jensen.Mr. Louis Joseph Pulley, overseer ofthe Thorndon seti-wall, "Wellington, saidthat the photograph shown him by Con-stable M'Gowan was that of his son,Clement Cuthbert Pulley. He was aged19 on 3rd March, last. At the age of15 years tlio boy left the New Ply-mouth Boys' High School without"Authority from his teachers or from hisparents." From that time, said Mr.Pulley, he lost all trace of his son. Thematter, was reported to the New Ply-mouth police, but the boy was neverlocated. The photograph had also beenidentified by his mother, brother, andsister, all of Wellington. He knew noreason why the lad should have takenthe name of Ma,urice Jensen, exceptthat he wished to conceal his identityafter running away from school. Con-stable M'Gowan stated tliat the photo-graph now produced and identified byMr. Pulley as that of his'sou, ClementCuthberfc Pulley, was also that of thelad named Maurice Jensen, who died inthe Waimavino Hospital at Raetihi on15th August as the result of a bush ac-cident at Mangaeturoa, and who wasburied, after the eoronial inquiry, asMaurice Jensen, which was the name hewas known by locally. The photographwas found among his belongings. Thename of C. Pulley was found on theback of one of his shirts. After theinquiry Constable M'Cowan notified theresult to a number of residents, and, at,tlie request of the father, arranged forn, fresh burial service. This was con-ducted by the Rev. Horace Jones.

The victim of the tram accident inCuba street,'mentioned in "The Post"yesterday, was a' news vendor namedCharles White, 40 years of age. Helives at 28, Martin square. To-day thehospital authorities reported that therewas a slight improvement in his con-dition, which is not regarded as serious.

It will be remembered that a seriousaccident, completely incapacitating Mr.J. W. Butler, the well-known directorof the Wellington Boys' Institute, oc-curred while he was travelling fromAew Plymouth to Wellington with a,party of boys from the institute inMarch of this year. Mr. Butler, bothprivately and officially, has always takena- keen interest .in all classes of' sport,and it is pleasing to record that repre-sentative citizens, the various sportsbodies,, and other organisations arevery kindly, associating themselves withthe executive of the Wellington Boys'Institute in providing entertainmentsduring the coming months, having fortheir object the raising of funds to as-sist Mr. Butler and his family in thevery distressing circumstances in whichthey find themselves placed.

Following the recent fatal accident intrey street on sth September when amarried man named Albert EdwardHollway was knocked down by a bicycleand received injuries from which hedied, a boy 14 years of age, the riderof the bicycle, was charged before Mr.C. R. Orr Walker, S.M., at the Magis-trate's (Juvenile) Court to-day withfailing to provide his bicycle with aproper and sufficient" alarm bell orhorn. Sub-Inspector Hollis, outlining-tne accident, said that the boy hada bell; on his bicycle, but it was outof order. He did not want to suggestthat the boy caused the death of Holl-way—that might have happened underany circumstances. Mr. P. H. Putnam,who appeared for defendant, said the-boy's employers provided a bell, butwere unaware of the iact that it wasout of order. His Worship < said hewould impose only a nominal^ penalty.Defendant was fined 5s and 7s-costs. ". "It's only' a sop to the city," de-clared the Mayor of Christcmirch (MrJ. A. Flesher) % on Thursday, whencommenting on the statement made bythe Minister of Internal Affairs (theHon. B. F. Bollard) that under theMotor Vehicles Bill the City of Christ-church, which' now received £996 an-nually for registration of motors, wouldreceive £1500 annually by the retentionof the :5s fees for drivers'"licenses (re-ports the "Press"). "The simple factof the matter," added the Mayor "isthat the people of Christchurch are tosurfer an additional taxation of £10500annually under the Bill, and of thatamount £9000 would go into the handsof the Highways Board for expenditure'on roads beyond the city boundaries.The permission to the loqal authorityto retain the annual license fees is nowbeing held out by Mr. Bollard as a jus-tification for.,the extraction of £9000 an-nually from the same people. Whatthe municipality says is that it shouldnot.have all'this money taken from itspeople' unless the local authority is al-lowed to share in the benefits of theHighways Act, which is not the caseat present. The city people are to pro-vide the money, and the outside roadsare to receive the benefit." ■'"

CARE OF BIRDSTO THE EDITOIt.

Sir,—Having read "Goldfinch's" let-ter in to-night's ''Post" regardingcruelty to birds, I will thank you forspace to reply. As a bird fancier ofsome years' standing, being a memberof the Wellington Canary and Cage.Bird Club, and having won the distinc-tion of being gold medallist for breed-ing and exhibiting mules, finches, andcanaries, I would like to be able toenlighten "Goldfinch" on certain' fea-tures regarding the capture of and car-ing for the wild bird. Personally Iquite agree with him as tq the cruelpractice^ adopted by the inexperiencedperson in the use of lime sticks, moreespecially as they are often left to re-main in position when the person trap-ping takes his departure. Althoughtrapping the wild bird must come underthe heading of "sport," that is, if it is.carried out by the expert (and, if so,there is no harm in it at all), thosecret ofsuccess iies with the treatment,of the bird immediately it is captured!But to allow the lime to remain on thofeather, and so cause the bird to pluckitself in its endeavour to .preen thefeather, is obviously cruel. " Now, deal-ing with keeping birds in sruali cages,I would like to take this opportunity ofexplaining that" the singer thrives andsings best in a smaller cage than in alarger flight.- I have proved this beyonddoubt in all; my years of experience,having bred mules from the goldfinch,and also the .English brown linnet,(which I imported three years ago, andhave him still in . small singing, cage):As for the. canary—well, it, needs little-explanation, having been bred fromtime immemorial in captivity, and if.liberated would perish quickly or bekilled by the wild birds of the air, thus.showing conclusively that it is a do-mestic pet. To say that no bird cankeep ' healthy without the proper useof its wings is altogether wrong, andthe fact as stated by "Goldfinch" thatthose who confine the canary .in cagesare. merely lacking in imaginationproves conclusively that he is ignorantof that art in which the feather fancierexcels. For his further guidance Iwould be pleased at any time to furnishhim with any information he may re-quire, and in conclusion would add thatshould he at any future time choose totake up the hobby of a bird fancier, Iwould be pleased to afford him anyinformation as to the proper care andtreatment of cage birds, so that hemay be'the better enabled to see,howthe canary will appear to advantagewhen thoroughly understood.—l am,etc.,' '■ O.

PUBLIC HOSPITALS

10 THE EDITOR.Sir,—rFrom various causes a good deal

of matter in connection with our publichospitals lms appeared in print duringthe last- week. It seems to me the timeis opportune to bring before our mem-bers of Parliament the need of a bettersystem of financing these" institutions.When a person has met with an acci-dent, or has a severe illness, is surelythe time when he or she should be freefrom the worry ofa debt accruing at therate of three guineas or^more per week,and when recovering from such an ac-cident ov illness is surely the time whenone can least afford such an expenditure.Then from the point of view of publichealth .or the medical status of ourmanhood, 'as revealed in medical exam-inations during the late war, medicaltreatment should be available withoutthe. fear of a heavy financial liability—the. loss of one's wages is trial enough.I- suggest that an insurance scheme; towhich every adult person should be re-quired to contribute, should be con-sidered ; such a scheme could includesome provision for special accommoda-tion for- those who can afford to paylor it.—l-am, etc.,

UNDER LEAGUE OFNATIONS

A BRITISH DIFFICULTY

■POSITION OF THE NAVY.

<WiITED .PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPIRIGHT.)

(SIDNEY SDK CABLE.)

-GENEVA, 11th September.The League Committees have com-

menced consideration of the constitu-tional and legal aspects of the articlesof the Covenant relating to internation-al disputes and the Court of Arbitra-tion. "" ■' ' ■■--■'-

Sir Cecil Hurst, outlining the Britishdifficulties, said they wanted a moreprecise definition. If the League call-ed up the forces of all the powers forenforcing arbitration, it would necessi-tate the British Fleet patrolling theseas, protecting neutrals, extending thuLeague's forces to the ocean highways,and preventing trade with the enemy,and, the fleet would almost certainlycome into conflict with other, nations .Britain wanted the Covenant definedclearly to provide that if, having ac-cepted the compulsory arbitrationclause, her fleet at the League's com-mand untertook a certain action, shewould not later be called before thoCourt because the action violated, therights of some Power. The clausemust be defined to prevent Britain,while" protecting; an attacked country,becoming herself an aggressor.

M. Loucheur (France) said he hopedthere would be fewer neutrals andfewer wars. Though Britain wayonce regarded as the tyrant of thoseas, the war years had shown what agood.tyrant the fleet was.The British and Dominion delegatesconferred and agreed with the general£rend of Sir Cecil Hurst's speech.

MARIE CELESTE

A FAMOUS MYSTERY

CURIOUS SOLUTIQN OFFERED

STORY OF SUPPOSED BOAT-SWAIN.

(UNITED. PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COI'TRIQHT.)

(AU3TKALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLE -ASSOCIATION.).

LONDON, 12th September."The Daily Express" publishes a

lengthy story by Captain 11. Lucy,who waswounded at the Dardanelles,and has arrived in London from India,purporting to give a solution of the.

"classic sea. mystery of the abandon-ment of the Marie Celeste fifty-twoyears ago, when the ship was founddrifting with all sails set, with not, asour aboard, and was towed to Gibral-tar.

Captain Lucy says he ' learned thefacts forty-two years ago from a, mannamed Triggs, xuider oath not to revealthem until Triggs was dead. He be-lieves he is now at liberty to speak.He met Triggs at the Bay View Hotel,Mejbourne, where ho had been livingfor five years, and had not been knownto do any work. /He discovered Triggshad about a. hundred pounds in a.bank in Australia, and he found him ajob as boatswain.

Triggs told Captain Lucy he wasboatswain of the Marie Cnleste. Theysightod a derelict and found on hera "safe, which was forced, and foundto contain £3500 in gold and silver.The" captain took £1200, the mate£600, and socond mate £400. Triggs£3CO, and the rest was shared by thecrew. The captrun ordered the dere-lict- to be sunk, as it was a danger toshipping. ■The question of the legality of thetaking of the money arose. It wasdecided they could not sink the ManeCeleste, .as she had been spoken, sothe captain and crew quitted her inthree boats belonging to tiro derelict,which had been used to bring the moneyon board. They painted the name ofa London schooner on the boats, aridon arriving at Cadiz reported a sub-merged wreck, and separated. . Theobject in. abandoning the' Marie Celestewas to make- everything ■as mysteriousas possible. ' '■'.

Captain Lucy adds: "I saw Triggs'spapers, showing he : had signed on atBoston aboard the Marie Celeste, butI confess he always covered his name.I believe Triggs. knew the name, of. thederelict, but he , said it was oblit-erated."

VARIOUS STORIES..SHIP FOUND, BUT DESERTED.

No more puzzling mystery of the seais known than that of.tliu Marie Celeste.'.Che accounts of the discovery of the ship.,varyin details, even as. to the size and;type of the ship. Sometim a she is call-ed a clipper-built ship; otnewise she isa brig, or a brigantine. The number ofpeople aboard, too, is given - withoutmuch consistency, as will be seen fromtho two accounts quoted below. In one!it is 104; in the other 13.. Tho stories Iare consistent, however, in the main,

! allegation—that, shortly after havingi'een spoken " All well " by one vessel,"!she was met ono or: two days later by !another, which reported that tihoughin perfect condition there was not asoul on board, nor any sign of the causefor abandonment' or of means by whichthe people had left her. A. search party ;was sent aboard her, and as one writersays:—"lnexplicable and astonishingwas the result.' Neither, above nor be-tween decks was'any living being to be'found.;.' The boat, was perfectly sea-worthy, the cargo was well stowed imdm good condition, and even tho brass-|»-ork appeared to" have been ' only.'.re-cently polished. Moreover, in the saloon ■was a" cold luncheon set ready for thepassengers, and the . stewards' pantryshowed that preparations for aii" eveningmeal were well advanced. Evidently,too, the deserted boat had not encoun-tered :heavy weather, for a phial of medi-cine stood upright on the captain'stable.. The personal effects of the offi- icers, men, and passengers-, were undis-turbed. Finally, it was noted that not]a single boat was missing. . . .Ofthe one hundred and odd persons onboard the Marie Celeste on 4th Decem-ber, and who were as certainly not on-1her on 6th December, no trace has everVeen found. Their fate is aft imp'ene-i.rablo mystery." ' " i

Another account said : "There' wereno signs of a mutiny amongst the crew,or. a- panic arising from some outsidesource, but it was clear that the thir-teen souls on board t^e brig, includingthe captain's wife avid little daughter,had left the ship in a, desperate hurry.In tho cabin was found a sewing ma-chine, with a thimble lying on its sideon a table, proving conclusively thatthere could hnve been no recent storm.The captain's wife had .been stitching asleeve in her child's pinafore, and hadstopped in the. middle of the work.Four persons had risen from a half-eaten meal. . The child had almost fin- |ished her porridge, and the captain had 1:cut a hard-boiled egg in two just be-1fore he loft his ship for ever. Onlythe chronometer and the ship's paporswere missing from the Marie Celestefind the crew had not left in the ship'sboats.. Tho "Strand Magazine" pre-sented a series of fanciful solutions bywell-known writers: Mr. Barry Parryfavoured the forcible carrying loft of thecrew .by a. piratical vussel short of.hands;. Mr. Morley Roberts, guve it up;Mr. Arthur Morrison put it down to areligious nianiac amongst the crew "and Mr. Horace Vachell thought it wassome "unforseen phenomenon," whichcaused every soul on board to jumpoverhoard and perish. . Any of these 'solutions is as possible as tile cxphin'a- jtion supplied by Mr. A. Howard Lin-tord, headmaster of a large preparatoryschool at Hampstead. This is in theform of a narrative by one Abel Fos-dy)c, who wrote as. the sale survivor ofthe-Mane Celeste. His story was thatall on board gathered on a ffimsy sta-ture on the bow of.the ship, bowu « B"the babys bridge," to watnh a swim-ming race between the captain and thema c, and that the 'bridge collapsed,and all were drowned except FostM'who was picked up and lauded oh'tho'.Moorish coast. The weakest part oftins story is that a whole ship's■ crewof able seamen allowed themselves' todrown alongside a ship boculmcd in mid-Atlantic, and that .the rescuers of Fos-dyk did not, apparently, see the MarioCeleste.

The cynic's solution of tho mysteryand it is supported by the inconsistenc-ies of the accounts of the affair is thatthe whole story is.a hoax.

PARALLEL MYSTERIES.Other stories of .mysterious findings ofships are extant. JFor jiisla-iiui), ° the

fnte of the passengers and crew of anabandoned French liner which was.discovered by .H.M.S. Wasp, whilstcrmsiflo; ia the Chioq, a«b«. rajaaiiis a

mystery to .this day. It was on onesummer's afternoon that the warshipcame across a ship of similar tonnage,equally sound and staunch, driftinghelp-lessly. On being boarded the French-man was found to bo quite deserted. Inthe cabin were the remains of a meal,fresh and sweet, a child's toys throwncarelessly down, and on tho open pianowere some sheets of music. Tho linerwas salved, but nothing has ever sincebeen heard of its occupants.

Some years ago tho captain of aNorth Sea trawler reported that, at deadof;night he .w-as astonished to see ahuge pillar of flame and emoke risingout of the-water. He sent out - asmall boat, and discovered that theflare proceeded from a burning vesselof largo size. Approaching as closiias she dared, the trawler could distil)-,guish no sign of life, nor any .trace ofcrew oi- passengers. Within" a fewminutes of the trawler drawing off thestrange vessel blew up with- a terrificreport, covering, the whole of the sur-rounding sea with smouldering debris.The strange part of the affair was thatno ship of the size indicated was knownto be in the North Sea at the time, norwas any one of her class afterwards re-poi-ted as missing.

The first eight games of the first setwent with the service, but Patterson andWood crashed through Johnston's ser-vice in the ninth game, gaining thelead. The Americans then broke throughPatterson's service to even the score,but in the eleventh game Tilden failedto pull through on his own service. Tii-clen and Johnston, by slashing place-menjis, stopped the Australians onWood's service in a' game that went to6-3. The Australians then crashedthrough Johnston's service, winning 'thoset on Patterson's five drives from thebase-line.

' In the second set the Americans" tookthe first game from Johnston's service.They then broke through Wood's ser-vice, and when Patterson failed at theneb Tilden won his service. Then, ina. protracted game,' filled with brilliantreturns in which Tilden dominated the.play;, the Americans won at 9-7, crack-ing Patterson's service. Tilden made aperfect "kill" past Patterson.

Wood'won his opening service in thethird set, as did Johnston, who deliver-ed a perfect love game. Patterson'sdazzling drives and marvellous place-ments wore in evidence in this set, butTilden rose to superior heights withsmashes and crosE-court shots, gainingtho lead and the set.

Patterson*! faltered slightly when serv-ing, in the opening game of the fourth set,losing the lead, but Tilden won his ser-vice, seven out of the eight points beingwon on placements, four by Johnston.Slashing placements by the Americansgave them the third game on breakingthrough Wood's service, and on John-ston's, delivery tho Americans took a bril-liant love game. Patterson temporarilystemmed the tide by winning his service,but Tildenwith two well delivered place-ments took the sixth game/ and onWood's service the Americans brokethrough to win the set, match, and theDavis Cup on brilliant placements byJohnston and Tilden after the game l;u"igone to deuce.

Throughout to-day's match the Ameri-cans^ excelled in clean placements, whiletheir tendency to netting at the begin-ning of the .match disappeared. Theyalso excelled in lobbing.

* Johnston sowing the Americans wonthe iirst game in the opening set. Wood■won the second for Australia- , Tildenwon the third, and Patterson won thefourth, 5-3. Patterson was winning' 3-0in this game .when ho double-faultedtwice, permitting the Americans to bringit to deuce. Patterson was deadly over-head, earning many., points, and killingJohnston's defensive lobs. He was, how-ever, weak in his ground strokes, andthis resulted in numerous errors. Thegames alternated with the service untilthe score stood at 4 all. A break camein the ninth game when Johnston's sei>vice cracked when he stood 0-3, and lostafter reaching 2-3, but the Americans re-taliated by breaking through Wood's ser-vice in the tonth game, and the scorestood 5-all. It cannot be said that theAmericans were working smoothly as adoubles team; Johnston's errors provingcostly^ He was unable to handle Pa£terson's service, and missed many easyreturns. The Australians led 6-5 j.whenthey cracked Tilden's service in theeleventh game, and Patterson pulled hisservice oub from 1-2.' Winning thetwelfth game 4-2, the Australians wonthe sot 7-5.

In the second set Wood lost his ser-vice in the second game, when Patter-sou hammered two overheads into thevet and himself missed two returns fromthe forehand. .The Americans quicklyamassed a lead of 3-love. Patterson pull-et; his service out, winning the fourthgume, 9-7, but the Americans increasedtheir lead to 4-1 on Johnston's service.They were more aggressive than theAustralians, advancing constantly tothe net. Tilden became more at ease,and they ran out, winning the set withalternate games, 6-3. !The third set'saw Tilden standing 3-0and serving^ but the fourth game foundthe Australians running up a score of3-4, but Tilden pulled out his serviceand the score stood 4-all. The Ameri-cans achieved a. curious feat in the ninthgame. When Wood was serving andstood 3-0 the Americans wan the nextfive points and took the lead, five famesagainst fuur. Several sharp rallies oc-curred at the net in which Johnston andTildeu outdrove tlio Australians orfnund openings between them. It thenbecame a comparatively easy matter fortile Americans to run out, winning theset, 6-4.

The fourth set proved a. quick de-bacle. Though the American pair wereteaming awkwardly, getting in . eachother's way, and apparently unable todovetail their efforts, they neverthelessoverwhelmed their more experienceddoubles opponents, whose team workwas perfect. The Americans won be-cause they individually possessed strokeswhich won them points. Johnston'sfoieband drive was functioning with areport like a gun and with a force likea bullet was unanswerable. Tiklen'sstroking was smooth, accurate, forceful,and gained points. Patterson when run-ning up to the net to answer a returnfrom liis own service, seemed unable tolift the ball more than a few inches,l-'iittcrson lost his service in the firstgame ;md Wood in the third and sev-enth games. This gave the Americansl-lii- requisite headway lo -win with ease.Patterson again found his service en-dangered in the lil'th game, but be pull-t'/i it out, 5-3, and the Americans led.'M.

SIRE. RUTHERFORD

PRESENTATION OF FRANKLINMEDAL

PRIME MINISTER'S TRIBUTE.

(FROM OUR. OWN CORRESPONDENT.)LONDON, 19th July.At the Foreign Office, on Monday, Mr.Charles Trevelynan, President ,of the

Board of Education, representing thePrime, Minister, delivered to Sir ErnestRutherford, Cavendish Professor Physicsat Cambridge University, the FranklinMedal and Certificate of Honorary Mem-bership awarded to him "by the FranklinInstitute of Pennsylvania in recognitionof successful researches signally contri-buting to the present state of knowledgeof the elements, .their constitution andrelationship. This is the fourth timethat a, British scientist has been award-ed the medal. . 'Mr. Trevelyan read a letter from thePrime Minister congratulating Sir Evn-,est Rutherford, and regretting his owninability to be'present and hand him themedal, 'and, proceeding, said tliat themedal was awarded yearly to those work-ers in physical science or technology,without regard to country, whose effortshad in the judgment o"f the institutedoiie most to advance the knowledge ofphysical science or its applications. SirErnest Rutherford was .peculiarly fittedto be the recipient of the institute'smedal, for he was one of the most emin-ent workers in the field of molecularphysics and a, pioneer of the modernatomic theory. He was beyond questionthe greatest experimentalist alive now..The Earl of Balfour, .-in-congratulat-

ing Sir Ernest, emphasised the greatvalue of his work, which had deservedlywon for him this distinction. He point-ed out that of four Cavendish professors,three had now been awarded the Frank-lin Medal. .

Sir E. Rutherford, in reply, said hewas doubly pleased to receive this hon-our. First, he felt that this was an hon-our-conferred through him on our nation,and was, therefore, a, mark of the good-will of the institute. The association ofFranklin's name with the medal was ahappy one, as he was a great believerin co-operation between nations. Theinstitute encouraged the intellectual re-lations of nations which contributed to-ward such co-operation, and, therefore,towards minimising the chances of war.which he hated. Ho bad said that therewas never a good war, nor a bad peace..Among those; present werp Lord Hal-four, .Lord Kayluigli, Sir Charles Sher-rin.gi.-m (president of the Koyal Society),Sir William M'G'ormick, Sir ArthurSchuster, .Dr. E.

POLITICAL NOTESTHE DAY IN PARLIAMENT

The product of yesterday's sitting- ofthe House of Representatives was thepassage of seven items on the Esti-mates. That may appear a good day'swork on the face of it, but another as-pect is placed on it when it is consider-ed that six and a-half out of a total otnearly nine hours were spent in discus-sion upon one item alone. Early in theafternoon the Leader of the LabourParty moved an amendment in supportof equal pay for women teachers,, whoperform the same work as male teach-ers, and this provided a topic for the'members of his party to debate for longhours. A division was reached shortlyafter the supper, adjournment, theamendment being 'defeated by a marginof two votes, a number of Liberal mem-bers throwing the weight. of their sup-,port into the scale on the Labour side.Two further amendments.upon, the Edu-cation Department Estimates met asimilar fate, but it was not till thestroke of midnight that the Educationvote, was passed. . At a later stage theLabour members monopolised the de-bate upon the Marine Department vote,and after several of the items had beenput through a weary House adjournedat 1.48 a.m. until Tuesday. On theEducation Estimates, no less than 62speeches were made, 32 by Labour mem-bers, 17 by Liberals, 5 by Reformers,and 8 by the Minister in reply. Therewere 22 speeches on the Marine Depart-ment vote—l2' by Labour members, 3by Liberals, 3-by Reformers, and 4bythe Minister. The other votes passedwere those .relating to the Crown LawOffice, the Justice Department, the Su-preme and Magistrate's Courts, thePrisons Department, and the PensionsDepartment.

WOMEN K.C.'SIn the course of his argument in sup-port of the. contention that womenteachers should receive equal pay withmen, where the services rendered arethe same, Mr. P. Fraser (Wellington ICentral) referred to the competition ofIthe weaker sex with men in the higher.

professions. ; .Mr. Fraser asked the Minister of Edu-

cation, as a lawyer, whether womenlawyers charged, different fees from malelawyers. " . . ', "Mr. Parr: "Yes, there are."Mr. Fraser: "What: is the differ-ence?" , ■■--■■.Miv Parr: "They charge less.'"' * I"Who do?" asked the Labour mem-1"ber. ■..."'The Minister: "The men chargemore." IMr. Fraser asked whether the scale ofcharges was the same in either case.The Minister replied that if there wasa woman K.C. in the Dominion shewould charge less than a male X CAs a matter of fact," he said, "shewould not get much business.""I would not like to say that womenlawyers were not as competent as men "said Mr. Fraser. "As v matter of factI would tremble for the Ministerif hewas pitted against a woman lawyer"Women were just as intelligent as men,\and the time was not far distant whenthere would be a wbmun K.O. in NewZealand. Woman would then prove herworth; ■ .

THE THREE R'S—MINUSQUANTITIES

That' the children turned-out fromour schools are deficient in certain pri-mal conditions of education was thecomplaint of Mi-. R. Masters (Strat-ford) in the House of Representativesyesterday. , -"It is a matter for regret," said Mr.Masters, "that employers complain thatwriting, spelling, and composition areweak. Unfortunately, I must say thatI have had some experience of boys andgirls who have left secondary schoolsArithmetic is good on the whole, butwriting is disgraceful. If we substitut-ed some of the time devoted to hand-work for writingl,-and some of the sci-ence time for reading, writing, or spell-uig> l(i would be for the benefit of thechildren as a whole. We must haveefficiency as far as our children areconcerned, and this can only be securedm our primary and secondary systemor education." ~

AN APT MISTAKE"I am talking of the 'imprecations' "ofthe resolutions passed by teachers criti-cising our education system," said a; La-bour member during the discussion onthe Education Department Estimates in

wis House of Representatives last night.ft was a lapsus linguae of peculiaraptness, as the speaker was referring to'implications," which he, declared cer-tain sections of the teachers made, thatthe administration was unfair to wo-men. As a mater of fact, "impreca-tion"—of ladylike character, of course—was probably really much nearer themark. ' '■"■''

BERNARD SHAW A "CRANK"Propaganda, in the public schools wasdenounced by Mr. P. Eraser (Wel-lington Central.) in the House of Repre-sentatives last night.

-,rTll?J!f;ader of the Opposition (Mr. T.M. Wilford): ■■"What'propaganda, doyou mean?". Mr. Fraser: "The Navy League andpeace societies. I would oppose anyform of propaganda in the schools." TheIchild was not raw material to be mould-ed into a particular set of ideals, hesaid. The child was . young^'plastic,human material, and should bo allowedto form its own opinions, and shouldnot have ideas shoved down its throat.Mr. Fraser went on to advise membersto read a, certain masterpiece on par-ents and children, portion of which liequoted. . . - .Mr. L.

Mr. Bernard Shaw, he said'was a recognised authority,-and-the in-'terjeetor placed himself amongst intelli-

gent people. '-T would advise the hongentleman," said Mr.--Fraser, "to readan article by the editor of-the 'Specta-tor, one of the most Conservative or-gans, in which he saysit is given to fewmen while still, alive and active —""A point of order," interrupted theMinister of Education, on the groundthat'Mr.

_Bernard Shaw was not con-nected with the Education EstimatesThe point was upheld by the chairand Mr. Fraser was asked to confinehimself to the Estimates.Mr. Fraser: "I would apologise fordefending Mr. Bernard Shaw."SAFETY AT SEA

A question was asked by Mr. P. Fraser(Wellington Central)'in'the House ofearly this morning,while the Marine Department estimateswere under discussion,, as towhether the-Department had power to make regula-tions in regard to ships putting to sea, inrough weather.

''It is the unanimous opinion of sea-men, stewards, and oilier workers' whohave to go to sea," stated Mr. Fvaser.l-'Jiat ifeg r.esjJonsibJUt^ fp_r'putting, gut-,

to sea in rough weather should not beleft to the captain, whose living dependsupon his giving satisfaction to his em-ployers."

The Minister of Marine (the Horn G.J. Anderson) said there was no powerunder the Shipping and Seamen Act tomake regulations to prevent ships fromgoing to sea otherwise than by the cap-tain's authority. . . The matterwould be taken into consideration alongwitn other matters that were now beingconsidered in connection with wirelesson small ships.

In response to representations made byother Labour members, the Minister stat-ed that suitable stretchers would beprovided at the various ports for use inthe event of accidents occurring lowdown in the holds of vessels.

CHANGED TIMES"We are living in changed times," re-marked the Minister of Education (theHon. 0. J. Parr) yesterday, when the.Education estimates were under discus-

sion. Mr. Parr was answering questionsconcerning subsidies for children attend-ing country schools. The Minister saidhe was being asked to subsidise'the "oldtamily moke," and -those were changedtimes—the family pony had to be subsi-dised nowadays.

EAST COAST RAILWAY■A petition signed by about 100 resi-"dents and property owners in theBorough and County of Whakatane waspresented in the- House of Representa-tives yesterday asking that during thepresent session of Parliament the Wha-katane connection with the East CoastMain Trunk; railway should be author- "lsed and provision made for the cost ofthe work. The petitioners ask that thework of constructing the rail connectionbe commenced at the earliest possiblemoment. "■■■■ ■

TEACHERS' GRADINGThe.Leader of the Labour Party (Mr.-H. "E. Holland) challenged the Ministerof Education in the House of Bepresen-

tatives last evening to explain the teach-ers grading scheme.Mr. Parr: .'.' The head of the Depart-

ment could do it in a few minutes."<< i! * assume ne could," said Mr. Parr- because he understands it." '"wIWhy cm't youI" asked the Mm

Mr. Holland: "For the same reasonthat you. can't. ... If the Ministerthinks he can explain the scheme lethim do so now. He knows he could notdo it, and it is not reasonable t»expectthe average teacher to be able to do it "rt, U FraSe^ (Wellingt°a Central)thought the grading scheme might beroade a subject' for examination fortraining college students. If they couldgive a lucid explanation they would-bent tor any position,' even that of Min-isterial head of the Department. It wasquestionable whether any three officersof the Department could intelligently ex-plain the scheme. ■ -."■

HIGH COMMISSIONERSPRECEDENCE ON STATE

OCCASIONS *ODE OWN CORRESPONDEXT.)

LONDON, 2nd August.It is officially announced in "Tlio

Gazette" that His Majesty has directedthat the High Commissioners for Can- 'ada, the Commonwealth of : Australia,New Zealand, the Union of South Af-rica, the IrishFree State, Newfoundland,and India should be given precedence onceremonial occasions, according to thefollowing principles:'(a) When British or Dominion Minis-ters, being at. the time.members of'theirrespective Cabinets, are present, theHigh Commissioners.should take pre-cedence immediately after them; this ■precedence is subject to the qualificationthat the High" Commissioner should noton any occasion be given a precedence-higher than that accorded by the Tableof Precedence to Secretaries of State.(b) When no members of the Britishor Dominion Cabinets are present theHigh Commissioners should talce preced-ence immediately after that accorded by.:the Table of Precedence to Secretaries-,.of State. ■ " . ' "

The new directions are the outcome ofa discussion at' the Imperial Conference.;last year. ;

;.."■ AN OMISSION REPAlßED. '■'"'."■".'■■'■""Statedf baldly," says- the - "Daily-I Telegraph," ''the question may not seemof large importance; nevertheless,'it is

one-of real substance. The High Com-missioners are the only permanent 'offi-cial representatives of the Dominions re-sident in this country. That being so,it has been a matter of legitimate griev-ance that they should have .no place inthe table of precedence; We are notthinking of

_social or society functions,but of public and ceremonial occasions,where they represent their Dominions intheir official capacity, and where it isobviously wholly- indefensible that theyshould not have a recognised place inthe list.

_The idea of a Dominion HighCommissioner not being known as such

to the Lord Chamberlain, but takingonly as a knight if he happen to be aknight, or possibly coming in among themass of esquires and gentlemen, is cer-tainly not consonant with the dignity "ofhis office^ or with that of the Dominion^which he represents.; " The matter'wasthought important' enough to be-'dis-cussed briefly at the last Imperial- Con-'ference, and, while we are glad, that theomission has been repaired, we wishthat it had been repaired'even morehandsomely 'than has now been done-Certainly, it is an arguable matterwhere their place ■,should be assigned'As belonging to the British Empire; the ■High Commissioners are not to be rankedas strangers from abroad' '. . .

"As the office of a. Dominion HighCommissioner does give its holder some-thing of. the status of an envoy, thoughhe deals only with commercial matters.'we should gladly have welcomed in-clusion of these representatives in thelist immediately after the Foreign Min-isters in compliment to the great andgrowing nations whose interests, are intheir care. The fuller the- recognitionthis country gives to the 'status of theDominions the better pleased the latterwill be, and where medieval and mod-era notions meet in sharp contrast, asthey do in a- table of precedence, it ismanifestly wise, when occasion offers,to redress the old balance which tiltedvery strongly on the side of birth, witha few conspicuous exceptions in thecase of the Church and the Law. Intheso ceremonial matters of etiquetteand precedence we would make con-spicuous recognition of official status inthe Dominions. Some of the presentomissions are very remarkable. For ex-ample, there is no special place-for thoDominion Prime Ministers. Probably allare Privy Councillors, and Priyy Coun-cillors stand relatively higli. in thetable; but our point is that 'they! shouldhave an honoured place of their own. .We are glad that the question has beenraised and answered in the affirmative,our only regret being that even greaterhonour lias not bean paid them. - What-ever the ultimate fato may-bo oftlmprecedency of rank, the precedency of:office1 must for ever remain, be the formgf goyerument what jt may.'i "

EQUAL WORK-EQUAL PAYIN EDUCATION DEPART-

MENT

PRINCIPLE DEFEATED INHOUSE

The principle of equal pay for: equal

work was the "chief topic of debate dur-ing the discussion on the Education De-partment Estimates in the House ofRepresentatives yesterday afternoon andlast night. The majority of the.Lab-our members talked-upon- the subjectat great length, the.centre of their, at-tack being the Minister of Education.Most of the "members on the Govern-ment and Liberal benches declined tobe drawn into the verbal fray, the ma-jority of those who spoke dealing withother phases of education administra-

; The Leader of the Labour Party (Mr.11. E. Holland) moved as an amend-ment to the "passing of tha vote thattho amount of £2088 for Administra-tive Division salarie3 be redaced by £1to indicate that women teachers shouldreceive equal payment with male teach-ers when equal service is rendered.: ■The Minister of Education (the.Hon. 0. J. Parr) said there was agita-tion at present amongst some womenteachers to be put on the same salaryfooting as the male teachers/ Theyhadmet.him, and he had told them thatthey must make . their representationsthrough the New: Zealand EducationalInstitute, which was the authoritativebody of the teachers, and that he woulddiscuss the matter with the institute.Mr. Parr said that he knew of no sal-

;'ary scheme, in. the world under whichmen and -women were paid equally.. Thequestion was considered by a lloyalCommission two or three years ago, andthe conclusion arrived at was that itwas impracticable to carry out such aproposal. It vas pointed out further,,

..that the responsibilities of .a marriedman were very much greater than thoseof a single girl, who had no dependants..He ventured to say there was no othercountry, in' the world in which the wo-men; teachers were as well paid as inNew Zealand. There were 2600 wo-men teachers in the service, and nearly'.half of them, drew salaries of from. £5

I to £9 per week ,-'.:."' ■>■ ■".Mi-..Holland : "How does that com-pare with the men's salaries ?■ Thatis the main point."

.'Mr. Parr : "The highest salary for a■headmaster is £550 to £600.""-. Mv'. G. Witty (Iticcarton) : "If they'do-, the.work-for you they ought to havethe pay." '■ ■ ■ ..:. The Minister said the. salary of an as-sistant'master was about £450. Of the

i:senior women who,took. charge of theinfants there, were quite a number whowere drawing over £400 a year. Manyof these were single -women with no re-sponsibilities, i. To give/effect to. theamendment would mean that either themen's salaries-would have to be brought

.down to the level of. the women's sal-aries or another £400,000 a year would'have .to be spent to. bring the women'ssalaries up to those of the men.

Mr. Holland : "Is your argument'lhat the women are not rendering thesame service?"' ..■-.:■ X i '. . ' ' ■'-..

The Minister: "I don't say theydon't render the same service."

Mr. Holland.-..."That is the wholepoint.", :.'-." 1 .-.'. .. ■The Minister : , "The amendmentmeans that the salaries would have tobe. reduced or that' we would have . tofind from' £350,000 to. £400,000 a year.I- want to know where the money is tocome from." - .-.■■■"-"■"■.. DIFFERENT SERVICE, ;■.

Replying to lengthy discussion on theamendment, Mr. Parr argued that therecould be nor talk about equal service be-tween male and female teachers.. Wo-men could not give the same service.Sixty-two per cent, of-the women teach-ers left the service after seven or eight,years, just as they were becoming real-ly useful. That was an lossto the Department. He did not saythe women should not get married. Heregretted Mr. Holland had moved hisamendment, for there was on the wholevery little substantial ground for it.There was.no ground for complaint thatthe women teachers of the Dominionwere ■ treated unjustly. ; Nowhere elsein tho British Empire was there.a bet-ter scale of1 salaries for women te*ache/s.No one could say the. women teachers

iwere, underpaid. 'He would rather giveincreased, salaries to the experiencedmen in the service,'who had remainedill the Department, and would continueto serve under the Department, . foryears, than give increases to the womenteachers. The. principle of equal payfor.;'equal work was absolutely imprac-ticable; in the Education Department.

The amendment was defeated on adivision by 29 votes to 37, Messrs..G.M'Kay (Hawkes Bay), A. J; Murdoch(Marsdcn), E. A. Ransom" (Pahiatua),J..' A. Macpherson (Oamaru), S. GvSmith (Taranaki), J.

RUGBY

"CRUMBS FROM THE TABLE"

POSITION OF COUNTRY UNIONS.

It is likely that a proposal will bemade by the Wellington Rugby Unionto the next annual meeting o£ delegatesto the New Zealand Rugby Union thata new system of representation of unionsbe adopted to provide for voting powersaccording to the strength of the unions'.Mr. E. M'Kenzie, ■secretary'of the Wai-rarapa Rugby Union and a member ofthe1 New Zealand Rugby Union's Man-,gement. Committee does not look fav-ourably on the proposal, and he took theopportunity at a recent function in Mas-terton of making known his views, whichhave been referred to as "a note ofwarning to country unions to guard theirprestige and existence." ■.. \ ■■-.■.

Mr. "M'Kenzie stated that the .Wel-lington Rugby Union intended to bringforward at the next annual meeting ofdelegates to.the New Zealand Union, a"notice of. motion which was ajjlirect at-tack on the representation of countryunions. Now was the time for the lat-ter bodies to organise and present aunited front, otherwise they would mere-ly get tlie crumbs from the table, andhe assured the company that they wouldbe few. None could deny that thecountry delegates on the New ZealandUnion had justifiedtheir position, but ifWellington succeeded with their pro-posal the administration would go into,the hands of a majority, of: major unionrepresentatives. During the last fewseasons the country unions had justifiedtheir existence in competition with thecity unions, and their presence in thesport entitled them to say what theywanted, and have reasonable chances ofgetting it. The result of-recent,repre-sentative matches Jyid proved that thecrack major Unions' teams existed onlyon paper, and the advance of the coun-try unions had to be coped-with.

Beferring to the locality of future Test,game's': and big. representative' fixtures,Mr. M'Konzie said the old-established. idea that a Test game' must necessarilybe played ■in Auckland, Wellington,Cbristchurch, or Dunedin, was a fallacy,j^nd next season the Kew Zealand Unionj^wonld have to consider, the playing of aTest game or the inter-island fixture inone,of'the inland centres of the NorthIsland, or one of the stronger centres ofthe South Island, mentioning. that In-vercargill was due for a.prominent game.The attendance at the All Black gameat Palmerston North proved that no-thing was lost in removing these fix-tures from the large centres: in fact,the Wellington people admitted that theattendance was larger at PalmerstonNorth than it; would have been at Wel-lingtons and the big. island centres whichwere each succeeding year expanding intheir operations were- deserving of at-tention.'

HYDRO-ELECTRICALENGINEER

MR. F. T. M. KISSEL APPOINTEDAS CHIEF

The position of. Chief GovernmentHydro-electric Engineer, rendered vac-ant by the death of-Mr. L. Birks, hasIneen filled by the appointment of Mr.11. T. M. Kissel, .B.Sc.E., A.M.1.C.E.,|A.M.I.E.E.

Mr,' Kissel, .who .has for some yearspast acted as Principal Assistant Govern-ment Electrical Engineer, was born at"empleton, Canterbury, in 1882, and waseducated at the Christchurch Boys' HighSchool and, Canterbury College. After asuccessful college career, he joined theservice of the Midland .Railway Com-pany as assistant engineer. He was en-feaged on the original detailed

_water-

power survey of Lake Coleridge', underthe late P. S. Hay, Engineer-in-ChieE tothe New Zealand Government, who madea special report on the wator-power re-sources of the; qountry. In 1906 ho re-turned to the service of the MidlandRailway Company for a short period,and was then assistant engineer to theSelwyn County Council, on water supplyand irrigation works from the Waima-kiriri River. In 1907 and 1908 he wasengineer to the Wairarapa South CountyCouncil, with headquarters at Carterton,engaged on roads and bridges, but par-ticularly on river protection works. In1910 ;,he -.returned to the Selwyn CountyCouncil as , engineer-in-charge, beingchiefly engaged on water supply worksand river, protection. At this'time hefurnished the Christchurch City Councilwith a special report in connection withthe Lake Coleridge .hydro-electric powerscheme." The City Council, acting on tliisreport, besought the Government to em-power it to. develop theLake Coleridgescheme, but the development was thentaken over by the Public Works Depart-ment. Mr. Kissel at this time joinedthe Department, and was appointed resi-cient engineer in charge of the surveyand construction works at Lake Cole-lidge. He held that position from the.inception of the Coleridge scheme untilthe plant was put into continuous opera-tion in 1915. In that year he. came to.headquarters in Wellington-as PrincipalAssistant to the. Chief Electrical Engin-r.er, first with Mr. Evan Parry, andlater with Mr. L. Birks, working on theinvestigation and design of all the newworks and extensions of the Depart-ment's hydro-electric developments.

In 1922 Mr. Kissel was selected bythe Government to visit America andEurope in connection : with : hydro-elec-trical development schemes in operationin those countries, so that the Dominionengineers-might bo pjile to utilise theknowledge gained by the study of the'most modern methods in the prosecutionof the hydro-electric schemes- in New■Zealand. On thatv tour he visited theUnited States, Canada, England, Nor-way, Switzerland, and Italy. The know-ledge thus gained by Mr. KisseMias been"f greatvalue in the initiation and; prose-cution of the Mangahao, Arapuni, andother hydro-electric .works " throughoutNew Zealand.

STEAMER GLENSIDE

PURCHASED FOR COASTALTRADE.

Messrs; Richardson and Company'sfleet of coastal vessels will shortly beaugmented by \ the steamer Glenside,which is to be brought out from Hometo replace the recently lost Ripple intho Wellington-East Coast' trade. TheGlenside, which -is expected to leavePlymouth on Thursday next for Wel-lington, via I'anama, was purchased inEngland by Mr: K.M'Leay, generalmanager fOl Richardson and Co.4 Built towards, the? latter half of 1921by the Gqole Shipbuilding 'and Repair-ing Company, .of England, the Glen-

Iside is. a comparatively new ship. Slieis a well-deck .type of vessel with hermachinery aft, thus allowing for largecargo space for'ard. The Glenside issomewhat bigger than the ill-fated Hip-pie, and has almost .double the lattersteamer's cargo-carrying capacity. Herprincipal dimensions are: Length 165feet, breadth, 27 feet, and depth 10feet, while, she has a gross tonnage of554. - The Glenside's engines have aregistered, horse-power of 85, and it isconsidered that; her speed will be slight-ly in excess of the Hippie's. The newsteamer is expected at Wellington aboutthe end of November. ' ' .MENACE OF THREE KINGS

DEPARTMENTAL EXPERIMENTS.

Further investigations have been madeby the /Marine Department during tlftpast year, with a view to demonstrat-ing beyond doubt the efficiency of radiodirection-finding equipment; A tempor-ary wireless -radio beacon has beenerected at Capo, Maria Van Diemen towork in conjunction with the direction-finding apparatus aboard the s.s. Tu-tanekai, and the results obtained fromjtesl3 have proved 'entirely satisfactory.A demonstration was conducted in. theHauraki Gulf, which convinced the ex-pert witnesses of the efficiency of radiodirection-finding.

The most satisfactory lighthouse fogsignal for the Three" Kings, states theannual report of the Department, wouldconsist of three lights, with a fog signalwithin the blind sector. This woiildcost about £40,000. Owing to the pre-valence of fog at Three!Kings, however,the lights would be. of very doubtful, ifany, value, just at the-time they wouldbe most required. - A radio direction-finding beacon, which could bo erectedat a fraction of the cost of lighthouse

"fog signal apparatus, would servo effi-ciently day and night, and under anyweather conditions, r and in any direc-tion. It would have the additional ad-vantage that by bearings taken at iri-tervals not only direction but positioncould bo accurately determined.. ."The result of all these experiments,"the report' states,-, "is to convince theDepartment's expert advisers that theinterests of shipping will best be servedby the erection of a ■modern radio bea-con suitably 'placed in an accessiblelocality, and thus remove tho menaceof Three Kings more effectively thancould' be done .by means of lights andfog-signal."

Reporter.)OTAHUHU, This Day.

The amateur .golf final over 36 holescommenced this morning, under perfectconditions. At the conclusion of the firstId holes Leo Quin, Eltham, has a leadof'3up on Jack Goss,Wanganui. Thegolf produced was sensational, and farabove the class of many finals.

Quin played magnificent golf, onlywaking two mistakes, each costing him astroke. His iron play was a featureof the morning round, which he coin-ple-ted in par golf, one over fours.

Goss played nearly perfect golf all theway, finishing the round in 78—one overbogey. He started away with a stringoi six fours, or two under par, being 3up; at the fourth. The-next three werehalvedin par. At tho eighth Quin wasshort in his approach, Goss recoveringthe hole. 'Tho next three were halvediii 5,3,5, but at the twelfth Quin holedhis approach for three against bogey5, winning the hole. The next two werehalved in three, four, Goss won the fif-teenth ;in par, but at the next, 392yards, Quin laid a magnificent iron shot2G feet from the pin, and holed his puttfJi- 3 against bogey 5. At the seven-teenth he topped his tee shot, taking 5against Goss's 4. The last hole washalved in 5, after both making wonder-ful recoveries from the long grass againstthe fence and holing long putts.

Continuing to play wonderful golf,Quin won the championship, 8 up and1 to pjay.

GREAT MOTOR RACE

ACROSS AUSTRALIA

' " AMBITIOUS PROJECT.(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

SYDNEY, 4th : September.Despite some opposition" from residents

of central Australia itself- the ambitiousproject of a great motor race from Ade-laide to Darwin—over 2000 miles—con-tinues to excite the keenest interestamongst motorists and motoring firms,and the financial backing that has al-

|ready been offered leaves' little doubtbut that this race, which will be ofworld-wide interest, will take" place. Theopposition has been based on variousgrounds. One is that it is impossibleto arrange equitable conditions, as partsof the route would be much more ad-vantageous to the cars ahead than thosefollowing, and other parts ■vice versa,owing to the effect of the first cars ineither improving, or damaging thetracks (according to the formation ofthe ground and the weather) as theypass over them. Another is that theparticipants in such a race, being unableto make detours and talk with residents,would get a totally. wrong impressionof tho country traversed—especially asthe route lie 3 along the great cattletrack through central Australia, and isconsequently not representative of thesurrounding country—and give a badadvertisement to the outside world.However, despite the enormous diffi-culties presented by such a race throughthe wilds, tho motoring world seems en-thusiastic about it.

The scheme was originated' by theDunlop Rubber Co. It is argued thatwhen a-.^touring party aboard two carscan leave Adelaide on 4th June, and da-spite many detours, and without unduehaste, reach Darwin on 7th July, thereis little doubt that, aided by thoroughorganisation, ■and' driving early and late,and saving every possible minute,a great cut could be made in the abovetime. There is an astounding differencewhen clever drivers are put to the test,as witness the many wonderful inter-capital records established in Australiaduring the past 18 months. The roadconditions are far from being suitablefor even average touring speed betweenFremantle (W.A.),' and Adelaide (1734miles), yet this rough route has beennegotiated by J. Burton in 3 days 13hours 3 minutes. With the best motordrivers in Australia pitted against eachother in a race of a route where in-genuity, resource, pluck, and. staminaare essential, some' surprising perform-ances may bo anticipated should theproposed contest eventuate.

Interviewed relative- to the matterSenator Pearce, Federal Minister* forHomo and Territories, stated that hewas personally interested in the- propos-ed motor race between Darwin and Ade-laide, and thought such a contest feas-ible provided it was thoroughly organ-ised, and that due provision was madefor supplies at regular intervals—of fueland water. Further, if the contest werecarried to a successful issue it would re-sult in the Territory receiving a greatadvertisement. He stated that on the'roceipt of a full outline of the proposedevent, he would be pleased to', considerit, and lay the matter before the Go-vernment as regards its patronage andco-operation. v

SCSHOOL BY LETTEREXCELLENT- RESULTS.

Replying to discussion upon the corre-spondence teaching work of the Educa-tion Department in the House of Re-presentatives yesterday, the Minister ofEducation (the Hon. C. J. Parr) statedthat when the correspondence systemwas commenced some; twenty childrenonly were being taught by,post, but thenumber to-day was about 500. TheDepartment was not endeavouring toavoid its responsibilities in erectingschools, but the correspondence coursehad been adopted for the benefit offamilies in isolated places, such as thoseof lighthouse keepers, ;shepherds, etc.,. living twenty or more miles from any-where. The system was intended essen-tially for families which were practical-ly cut off from civilisation, in localitieswhere the population was not sufficientto warrant the provision ofa school andthe attendance of a teacher.

Mr. D. G. Sullivan (Avon):. "Whatsort of results are you really getting?"

The Minister: "Excellent results."°lnmany cases, he said, the Chief Inspec-tor found that the children being taughtby correspondence were making* betterprogress than children attending school. IIn some cases the children had beentaught- sufficiently to enable them topass the Sixth Standard, and they werenow .attending the liigh school.' Hehad no doubt of the efficiency of thosystem. .

OTAKr, This Day. ]A deputation from . the" Otaki Fire

Brigade waited on the borough councilon Thursday night and made a requestfor a grant of money to enable it to pur-chase some new equipment, especiallyhose. The present plant was totally in-adequate to combat a fire of any mag-nitude. It was disheartening to mem-bers of the brigade, who gave their ser-vices, to know that if any serious fire,broke out they would :.be unable tocope with it. The deputationthat a lire board should be formed, andthat the chemical engine should be soldand the money so obtained be spent oilnew. equipment.

GERMAN TRADE TACTICS

German industry is neglecting nochance to gain control of foreign enter-prise. A German syndicate is trying toobtain a monopoly in the development, ofelectrical power in Ireland.

"To get back to her 1914 position Ger-many at the present time" (says aBritish manufacturer in the- "DailyMail") "is willing to undertake workunder conditions which British firmswould refuse. Some English publicworks companies before the war werecontrolled .from behind the scenes byGermany, with German machinery andmoney. With-'the outbreak of war thiswas'changed, but Germany is again ather tactics of peaceful. penetration. :■ Nocontract is too small for her to try to ob-tain.

"If, by the- quotation of cut prices,German machinery is installed, the firmconcerned is in tlio hands of her manu-facturers from then onwards. Repairscan only bo carried out and spares sup-plied by the German makers, for theytake good care that no parts are inter-changeable wiih British or oilier" similarmachines,' and any saving in initial costis soon swallowed np by high chargesfor renewals. Every order, even smallcontracts for £4000"or £5000, is the.thinoml of the weilge.in' that particular con-cern."

QUEEN'S THEATRE.Nine years ago when E. H. Calvert

refused 'Agnes Ayres v. job, she burstinto tears. They were real. Just re-cently, when the same man refused MissAyes a job, she registered sorrow forthe camera, and then walked out of thescene shaking with reminiscent laughter.And the story is that Calvert was direc-tor-general of the Essanay Studios inChicago, in the old days.

has witnessed a greater success than thatachieved by "the Vanbrugh-BoucicaultCompany in "Aren't We All?" Therewas not a seat to spare last night, andfrom, first to. last the audience evidentlyenjoyed the play immensely. It is'cleverand witty," even brilliant in many parts;and the comedy is not broad. The basisof the play is light, but this is not not-iced because of the cleverness1 of thewriter in building it up. Then the play-ing is masterly. Each- member of thecompany has a part which might havebeen specially written. Mr. Dion Bouci-cault is a peer with a wide experience,and. a desire for the good things of. life.He is witty and human. .Miss. IreneVanbrugh is a widow of uncertain age,with definite designs upon the peer."Aren't We All?" will be played untilTuesday' evening. : '.■....-.-

"THE GOLDEN RULE"

APPLIED TO MODERN BUSINESS

EXPERIMENTS IN AMERICA.

The United States would probably berated as among the most capitalisticcountries in the world. She will beamong the last to recognise Soviet Rus-sia because of the strong anti-Socialisticsentiment in control. Co-operation hashad its. poorest success in America. Itis, therefore, not unnatural that thereshould spring up in industries—controll-ed.by men of goodwill—efforts to intro-duce methods that will produce to the

.workers a larger portion of the outputthan bare competition would provide. ,

Public attention has been turned dur-ing the past two or three years to in-dustrial plants in which'an effort hasbeen made to '"apply the golden rule,'*writes the New \'ork correspondent ofthe Melbourne "Age.;' One ,of these isthe A. Nash Company, of Cincinnati,a clothing factory, now employingover 4000 workers. Five years ago therewere 30 workers.' Mr. Nash: says, onplatform and in print, that the successof,the company has been due to an hon-est effort to apply the golden rule. Heboldly writes at the head of his recordthese words:—

Grow old along with me,The best is yet to be.In live ■years and a half the businesshas grown from 132,000 dollars per Year'to 7,000,000 per year. Li. 1919 he toldthe 200 ...workmen that lie wished thatthey -should.-.all have profits as weiras

■wages—the- wages having been higherthan the current rate. His method, hesay;?, has;'been as simple as the goldenrule. Iv every important change, inthe business as well as in the properdivision of the profits, the workers haveall been called together and'decided-poli-cies in the open meeting or through acommittee of their own selection.'J-hc idea, also came to him, he says—looking at it through the eyes o£ aworker—-that the'workers wero not onlyinterested in their pay envelope, but inan opportunity, of life. They wouldwant to have some control of and owner-ship in the tools with which they work.Such ideas came to. him, he says, as hewent along.in-obedience to an effort to!" .iply the golden rule. While he himsellwas being educated in the application ofthe golden rule, he was also leading the;workers to help see the same'rule andto^ learn how to apply It.

The company, has so prospered that atthis<luto Mr. Nash himself has accumu-lated 600,000 dollars in stock.I The workers have " over 300,000dollars .in stock. In "an open1meeting ho recently said to theworkmen,' "I did not make the company.|lou did not make the company. We didit together. If I took this 600,000 dol-lars and personally appropriated it Iwould bo the arch fiend^f the ages. IfI snatched, the money that you havehelped to earn away from you, my ownconscience would condemn me as a greatrobber." This sounds like extravagantlanguage, but Mr. Nash is evidently sin-cere and deadly in earnest. ".pnh° company now proposes to declaroICO per cent, stock dividend. This meansthat Mr. Nash will bo made richer by600,000 dollars of stock. This largeamount is to bo distributed among the.workers so that with.the stock alreadyheld by them, they will pass into control'of the company. There is one condition."namely,.that this large block of stock, asfar as . its . voting 'power is concerned,shall be held by him for five years—afterwhich it, will be turned over without con-dition. "It will take five years, Mr. Nasl;argues, for tho necessary training inworkers' control. At the end of fiveyears, Mr. Nash will own one-fourth ofthe stock, and control will have passedinto the hands of 4000 salesmen, work-ers, etc.

This experiment of the Nash Companyis being watched by many. There is nodoubti about the company having pros-pered in a remarkable degree. Mr. Nashsays that it is not an experiment; for hehas been following a "divine law govern-ing 1human relationships—an infallible,workable, industrial, and economic lawof the universe." When told that itis his "personality" that has workedthe charm, ho replies that he had "nopersonality" until ho accepted the prin-ciple of the golden vox.-

industrial plant that is"working the gulden rule in business"is tho Clint '\V. Leo. Print Shop, ofSeattle. Mr. Lee started in some sevenyears ago -to "take Christianity sori-ously," especially in his lousiness. He: began wiUh profit-sharing, but at the out-set found only two of tho workers will-ing to go into his.programme. But in ayear or so nearly all the employees wereready to join. After a, while 'ho found,that it "would bo more satisfactory ifthe workers ' themselves should decidehow much each ono should receive."This was done by a ballot, and withoutconsultation. The business,-'though notlarge, has prospered in every way; mov-ing to now and larger quarters, addingconsiderably to the. plant in the.way ofequipment—110 important step being tak-en without full discussion with tho em-ployees, along with a vote of approval.There has been no strike, althoughstrikes have been thick around them.One' year when there were no profitsfor division was passed witli. good willamong- all the working force, since allknew the reasons a.nd had participatedin the management. The volume olbusiness is "about ten times what it wasseven years ago," but that is not "thebest pa.rt of it;" said Mi-. Lee to me;"the. practice,of the golden rule has madepossible more of real joy of living totho.management; move contentment, realfellowship and better pay for tho work-ers ; better values and service 'for thecustomers.' Mr. Lee is an enthusiasticconvert to the programme of trying toapply the golden rule to industry. Hesays that, while this road does" not pro-mise "easy sledding" all tho way; yet itis tho road that "will lead to industrialpeace and prosperity."

SPRING FLOWERSAMATEUR SECTION AWARDS

There was a particularly happy at-mosphere about the Wellington Horti-cultural Society's Spring Show in theConcert Chamber yesterday afternoonand evening, an atmosphere which ac-companies a highly successful show andnone other. The attendances at bothsessions wore very large, and, success-ful as the show was, greater successagain would have attended had a largerhall than the Concert Chamber beenavailable to the society. Next yearsuch a hall will be engaged that greaterentries and attendances may be cateredfor, and that exhibits may be set outmore freely and with greater viewingspace.. Excellence marked very many of theexhibits in_ all classes; and in the chil-dren's section alone were entries disap-pointing. Future spring shows may seethis section also taken up' enthusiastic-ally.

CHAMPIONSHIP AND R. A-'WEIGHT TROPHY.The judge (Mr. C. Trevenna, of Dun-

edin) declared that one of Mr. AlanGibson's exhibits of twelve varieties ofnarcissi deserved to be shown- on a.-table all to itself. Mr. T. Waughjudged the miscellaneous section.

"ASSOCIATION DAY"

COMAIERCIAL TRAVELLERS' AND; WAREHOUSEMEN'S REUNipN., The eleventh anniversary of the NewtZealand Commercial Travellers' andWarehousemen's Association was. cele-brated by a smoke concert at the Do-iminion Farmers' .Institute hall last' even-|ing. The president, Mr. Hugh Wright,occupied the chair, and there "was a large'!attendance of members, including repre-sentatives from other centres of. the Do-minion.

In. proposing the toast, "The Associ-ation," the:Minister of Industries and-.[Commerce,: the Hon. W. Downie Stew-|art. said it was a pleasure to come fromIthe strife of Parliamentary life to an|atmosphere where, all was good-fellow-|ship. He was much. indebted for the[privilege of being- with them, as it wasgenerally recognised, that W> body ofpeople were,so hospitable as the mem-bers of the association, and they hadgiven, signal proofs of their desire toforward movements for. the benefit ofthe community, or to help "the causethat lacks assistance." Since its initi-ation eleven years'ago, the record of theassociation had been one of steady pro-gress, and a high ideal, of citizenship[and of community spirit had been mani-fested on many occasions.. They had.done splendid work for charity and bene-volence, and their example' was worthyof being followed by other institutions.In other lands in which ke_ had trav-elled he had found that the name ofNew Zealand .business' men stood highfor integrity. In.fixing Customs duties,[said-the. Minister, it had been his en-"[■deavour to see that everyone/interestedjhad a chance to talk things over, so

[that injustice might be done to no one.Mr. K. Wilson, immediate past presi-

dent, 'in responding, commented on thoprogress of the association, and said itwas a matter for. congratulation' that theinsurance;fund 'was steadily improving.

" Other toasts honoured- were ".—"Kin-dred. Associations," proposed by Mr. A.Jacobs,. vice-prejsidentJ. .and respondedto; by Messrs. T. Rollinshaw (Otago),Ashton (Auckland), and Bisgrove (Can-terbury) ; "Chips of the Old Block" (thesmaller branches), proposed, by Mr. L.A. Little and responded to by Mr. T.

VICTORY FOR WILLSFIRPO EASILY DEFEATED BY

NEGRO

ARGENTINIAN'S FUTILE SWINGS.

(UNITED TRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPrRIOHT.)(AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CAEI.E ASSOCIATION-.)

NEW YORK, 11th September.At Jersey City, in Boyle's Thirty

Acres, the scene of the Denipsey-Car-pentier fight, Harry Wills decisively de-feated Luis Firpo in twelve rounds. NewJersey's law forbids a referee's deci-sion, but there is little room for eoubtthat Wills outclassed Firpo. The formerlanded oftener, and his blows were fardeadlier. There seemed to be a distinctunder-current of hatred' between thefighters, partly due.to difference in col-our, and partly because each had veno-mously belittled the other's ability.4Wills's ring tactics continuously con-i°""ded Firpo's lumbering attacks.Wills gamely exposed himself to Firpo'sweak lefts, but promptly clinched when-

ever the Argentinian endeavoured toshift to his powerful right. Wills in-variably laughed when" doing this, andenraged the Argentinian, ' who repeat-edly lost his temper,- exposing himselfto a swift attack. The experts gener-ally awarded Wills each of the twelverounds, because Firpo obviously foughto-i the defensive throughout.

Tile early rounds saw cautious fight-ing. Firpo hesitated to apply the great-est force "■ to his blows, obviously unwil-ling to be caught off his balance; nev-ertheless, sharp, blows were constantlyexchanged. Wills, in the fourth round,floored Firpo for a count of 'lour. TheArgentinian rose unshaken and proceed-ed methodically, though wearily. The-fighters_in the fifth round wtre nearexhaustion

_and clinched repeatedly,

neither striking a blow in the clinches.In the sixth'Firpo, at close quarters,was unable to escape Wills's savagerights, himself swinging', wildly. In' theseyenth Wills staggered Firpo with arain of blows to the jaw. ' Firpo, vain-ly sparring for an opening, ultimatelymanaged a right shift, but Wills danced,away. In the eighth Firpo again shift-ed, but Wills, stepping close, poundeelFirpo's body and mercilessly punishedB'irpo in clinches, laughing at the Argen-tinian^ futile right swings. Firpo dur-ing the remaining rounds- became moreerratic, and more on the defensive, butvainly seeking a chance to deliver histerrific right. .- - 'WILLS DOMINATES THE FIGHT

RELENTLESS ATTACK AND..CLEVER RINGCRAFT.

.(AUSTHAMAH-NEW. ZEALAXJ CABLE ASSOCIATION.)

■ (Received 13th September, 9 a.m.)NEW YORK, 12th; September.

Wills dominated the fight from thestaH, giving an exhibition of Kngcraftwhich spiked Firpo's heaviest gun—thefamous right—and beat the Argentinianinto docisive. defeat with a bruising,relentless attack to both head andbody. Pirpo's gameness alone carriedhim through the-terrific'punishment thenegro administered. The Argentinianhad neither the skill, the speed, northe- versatility to-cope "with, 'the re-sourcefulness of his opponent, -whose,defence was impenetrable, and whoheld Firpo off. The Argentinian wasno match for .Wills, who counteredFirpo's rushes beautifully'and at thesame time inflicted heavy punishment.Firpo's blows which landed seenied tolack the steam, they had when hefought Dempsey. In the second round.Wills floored Firpo with a left to the.jaw—the only knock-down of the fight.Wills administered heavy body ,rjuhish-ment throughout, and there was con-siderable; clinching, the' referee fre-quently having to pry the/men apart.Although Wills easily outpointed theArgentinian, it is scarcely believed thathe ■ endangers Dempsey's. tenure of thechampionship. Experts and laymenagree that neither boxer has a chanceagainst Dempsey. Neither showedany improvement in boxing, : despiteglowing reports from respective 'train--mg_ camps, i. The fight had :plenty ofaction, but there was -a ' samenessthrough the successive rounds whichtook the thrill away. Observers arekeenly disappointed, asserting that nei-ther Firpo nor AVills revealed in battlewhat they showed in training.The 80,000 spectators, who paid atotal of 803,000 dollars, waited with athrill the arrival- of the Prince ofWales, who, however, failed to appear:JNevertheless a group:of eminent spo ♦" -men, including members of the Ameri-can and British polo teams, attendedreceiving an extended ovation '.

CASTAWAYS

AN OLD-TIME SEARCH

:■ AROUND. THE AUCKLANDISLANDS

i The story of a search for castaways onthe Auckland and other 'islands .in" the"eighteen-sixties is outlined in a- little.publication from the office of the Vie-,torian-Government Printer of the day.:

..This comprises the "Journals of theVoyage and Proceedings of H.M.C.S."Victoria;"-. compiled by Captain W. H.

-Norman,, commander" of that colonialisteam sloop,,and Thomas Musgrave, for-.merly captain of :the schooner Grafton."The publication contains a map of the-Auckland Islands, the instructions from jthe Victorian Government through Mr.i■J. G. Francis, Commissioner of Trade"and Customs, to Captains-Norman and.

:'■Musgrave. "and tho reports of tho 'two'-.officers. The- New South . Wales and.Queensland Governments shared- in the.cost of tho expedition, which was the re-sult of Captain 'Musgrave's representa--.duns that, from his.own experience-as a,castaway, he believed that other ship-;.wrecked sailors wero on the islands. The;■expedition left- Hobson's Bay; on :>4th-.October, 1865, and reached' the islands-on 10th October. The circumstances■which led up to this expedition are' told:. i:i E. Keblo ChattertouV absorbing-.book, "Seamen All."-.: The writer's notable work, "The Mer-cantile Marine," was published last year.The theme of "Seamen All" is "ad-"ventureby-sea in all kinds of ships byall kinds of seamen during the period oft.lw last 250 years." Mr. Keble Chatter-ton has developed a fine piece' of workfrom this theme. Tho book is filledwith stories of the great days of sail,and many of them are of a-special in-terest to Australia "from their connection.with its early history. -'

' Tho Auckland Islands, he -writes, area group of,one main.island and severalsmall ones separated by narrow channels..Uninhabited, mountainous, volcanic,wooded, they are about 180 miles southof New Zealand. It was only in 1806ihat they were discovered by' CaptainBristow in the Ocean. Along the west-"em side rocky cliffs from 100 to 750 feethigh extend, with deep water right upto the shore. There are two good har-bours—Port- Ross in tho north . andGarnley Harbour in the south. From theshores of the harbours low forest coversrising ground, and then 'there 'is a belt.of undergrowth," and; above this grassyslopes ..rise to the hills. Tho region is

for its weather, and there have.been several historic wrecks here, suchtis the" Grafton in 18613. . :

WRECK OF THE GRAFTON.:'i The Grafton.was a topsail schoonerinder tho command 'of Captain Mus-.£rave, ;"and: she sailed from Sydney forthe South Sea Islands on 12th Novem-ber, 1863. 0« 30th December she madethe Aucklands; the weather was unset-jledj but she still held on. On the fol-lowing davit was. blowing a gale, withA dangerous, "confused sea ' running,which broke on board in all directions,sousing the ship to labour and -strain

o-o badly that she began to-leak,"so that■Captain..Musgrave eventually went intoGarnley Harbour. The Grafton beat inagainst the westerly wind on the after-noon of New Year's Day, but, finding30 bottom even close to the.rocks, kept.nder .way- all night. In the morning

3ie sent off her boat to look for ananchorage, but found" none. "Throughout the next day it blewr a"cry heavy gale. -Musgrave sailed theschooner up the unsurveyed harbour forseveral miles, and let go the anchors.At last he began to realise that he wasin a tight corner, especially if the wiuJshould go back to the south-west. Hethought of slipping the.cable and run-ning out to sea, but he could see that'16' would never be able to clear-"*thoioint. At every heave of the swell; the

jchooner was : dragging he.r: anchorhome, and at midnight, 'when the galehad reached its height, she struck theshore at low water. Presently she laybroadside on to the beach j the sea.made a clean sweep over, her;. she wasleaking badly. On the beach, the surfwas so' heavy that Miisgrave decidedthat it was not safe, to land till themorning. This was ' finally done bymeans of:, the -ship's boat. ■ The schooii-:r's main, sail and gaff: were broughtashore; and a- 'tent-made therefrom.Boardsv were' fetched from the ship tomake*; a;. floor in the' tent; spars werealso sent ashore, for soon a house wouldhave to be biiilt., There was plenty ofsmall timber,, arid1:a beautiful creek of"clear water for drinking. Seals were"numerous, and they were killed at thetent door as required.; The"party tookit in turns to cook, and by means of:the seals, mussels, birds, roots, -and fishthey managed to feed. .

MAKING AN ESCAPE,xlhen they set.to.arid made..themselvesa house with the schooner's spars and thelocal timber, with canvas and thatchfor the sides and squares of glass taken

out of the schooner's ,cabin. The'partyconsisted of Musgrave, Raynal, the/mate,and three other men. "From the Figureof EightyIsland, they'weVi; able to obtain,as many seals for meat;as they.required;'cod was caught, and the boat was usedfor exploring this lonely -harbour.. Thusthe'months went slowly'by; the:clothesof the. castaways became so patched withseal skin and canvas.that nothing of theoriginal.garments remained. At the endof twelve, months.Musgrave" decided fartake a big'a-isk.': "The.-'seals weve,gettingscarce, and starvation was, threatening,and the southernmost part of New Zea-land lay 180.niilesto.the. north.: ■ The 12----feet ..(dinghy, was remodelled 'for ,an at-tempt to- reach. Stewart-Island, andlaunched afc-fhe entlof Juno, bufit wasfound ;aS the start that five: men in thattiny'craft made matters 'impossible, sotwo of, them were left "the: island.On 19th' July' the party '/Wider,i freshIst'iirfc-frqin the harbour with a;light south-!el-Iy ': wind, which soon turned/; into v Jsouth-west gale, and continued, till 24thJuly." Still, at-'last ,th<y" boat wasbrought, into Port Adventure, /StewartIsland, and after rest and food; Mi-a;-grave proceeded thence to Invercargill.-A vessel named the Flying" Scud wasthen-chartered and sailed for the Auck-■ lands. The two men were rescued fromthe-shore,'and "ate their first meal'with!a..ic?:L-that\had.been/stored.vp■ for -long,*weary days. ' Bu£ suen is the kink in hu-'man nature that these two" men on thosedcs slate" island had quarrelled so hear-tily, that they were just on the point ofseparating and living apart." At ' lastthe Flying Scud brought them to Stew-art Island, and thence they sailed toNe\v_ Zealand, .towing the1 "remarkable(iini<!iy, that had made so sensational atrip. The dinghy got full oi water, part-eiJJifjr tow rope, and was lost. :THE INVERCAULD'S. SURVIVORS.-.On 10th.May, 1864, during,-a heavy

northerly gale, the ship' Invtrciirgauld,bound, from Melbourne to Callao, wasv. rveked on the north-eastern shore oft>>! island. Nineteen of the crew reach-.; I il>c shore; for a time the survivorslived Mil seals, but when theso dishp-■ [leafed1 tuey subsisted on limpets, roots,and.-writer.' By tho end-of, August, allhad. died except, three... For over a yeatthese throe'lingered, more dead thanalive, when_il chanced i'lint a Portugueseeh.il-V the Juiiitu£ .calkJ uL th^ iskm'J,

picked up the throe, and took them toCallao. So" that"Musgrave's-party andthe Invercauld's survivors were on tin'sisland at the same time without meet-ing.. Musgrave did,-in fact, see smokeon the east side, ..which he could notunderstand, but on landing at the northend of the island, searchers from theFlying Scud found the dead body of aman with an." oilskin coat over him,and by his.side a small pile of seashelisand two.bottles containing'water. Theinference is that this was one of thoInvercauld's party who" had sta-.ved: todeath. " .

When Captain Musgrave reached Mel-bourne,,he told the authorities thatthere might still be men on the island.H.M.C.S. Victoria was accordingly dis-patched in 'search, and Musgrave. accom-panied her, but, as-was found out later,the "Julian had already called. 'The dateof the JuliatL's vist was 22nd May_, 1865,which, was.Avjile "Musgrave and his men'wei-e-busy.workingcmthe dinghy. They

,d:.d not see the. Portuguese ship,'or that180-mile ./trip in the. dinghy would nothave, been necessary.

BULKY IMMIGRANTSPERTH'S NEW ELEPHANTS

A "GREAT WELCOME.". . (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

',' ■"..-■ .SYDNEY, 4th;September. ."v The juveniles of Perth and Freniantle,'and*not a1few adults, too, were thrown.hrto a state:of■excitement last week bythe arrival 'of three elephants fromIndia, one of which will be. permanently,installed at the zoo. The arrival" wassuch a unique occurience for the West-ern Australian capital that it was., all.but a public holiday. - Perth had a. dubi-ous experience with its previous elephant,from India—Jumboroo—and when, hisshort, reign of violence and vindictive-:ness was over. the zoo authorities said :'"Never again—one bull elephant is quiteenough—next time it will be a female or.nothing." And they considered- as tohow Jumbproo might best be replaced. Ibut inquiries in .lands beyond the seasfailed to get them what they desired.TheyUiad begun to resign, themselves tothe prospect of an elephantlesE zoo whenthey heard that Mr. William Sole, acircus proprietor, was about to set putfor Siam on

_a quest for animals, andthey commissioned him to secure an ele-phant for them: In Siam, Mr..Sole pur-chased three elephants. -. The oldest of

shese, Poon, was 18 years old; Choomwas 16, and the baby of the bunch.Mahay, was only 12. ...During- a railway journey of 1000miles through Siam and the Malay Statesto Singapore, the elephants were well-behaved, except) on one occasion when,in playful mood, they thrust their headsthrough the doors of their trucks, splin-tering the woodwork. After a stay ofseven days, in Singapore they werohoisted on board the motor-ship Kanga-roo, and their first experience of a, nau-tical life began. They.rapidly got theirsea, legs, and were very comfortable ina special compartment which had beenprepared for them on deck. It) was obvi-ous that "the sea air suited them; theythoroughly enjoyed the voyage, becamefat, and made many friends among.thepassengers. ..'...

Tidings of the approach of- the new-comers had preceded them, and at Fre-mantle they were welcomed by. an en-thusiastic gathering. Shortly Rafter 8o'clock the Director of the Zoo (MajorE. A. Le. Souef), accompanied by thehead keeper-(Mr. E.H. Manton), arriv-ed to make arrangements for tihe land-ing of the three elephants. - The possi-bility of .escorting, tKem to' South Perthby road was discussed, but it was final-ly-decided that a'river trip, under sup-ervision of Mr. Gus Jens'son, would bea saving of time and effort. There,wereshouts of glee from hundreds of youngthroats_ when tho elephants, securely " fastened in cattle boxes, and trumpetingprotests against the indignity, were hoisted high into the air, swung over theship's side, and, lowered'into the passenger launch which was to take themup fcha river on ..the final stage of theirlong .journey.

TWO TONS APIECE.The two elder, elephants turn.the scale

at two tons apiece, while the youngerweighs a ton. and-a. half. The "trip toSouth,Perth was.. ..successfully .accom-plished in a little over'an hour. Con-suming a vast quantity;, of plantainstems', which had been sent down fromthe zoo, .the elephants seemed quite athomo on ' tho little boat. During thejourney they made:friends with Majorle Souef, and gazed benignly on -thepeople in passing craft, who, at sight ofthem,-gesticulated excitedly. At South

;Perth-hatches* were used as aigangwayfrom the. launch to the jetty, ,and iippadded elephants,-gjude'd' by Mr..Sole and his assistant, Mr.'W. Leonard,who brought: their ankus.sticks' into playas occasion demanded. The progressfrom the jetty to the ssoo was a trium-phal procession, with ;the elephants lead-ing, followed, by crowds' .of delighted-children. On reaching the zoo.the threeelephants were led to the compound,strong as a fortress,. in. whicli^Jumboroomisbehaved so outrageously. On the waythither theyhad to pass the lion house,and ithere were signs on both sides ofthe bars of an age-long feud. The lions

.-strode, up"- and down .their cages, withdeep growlings and agitated 'sniffings ofthe air, the elephants swerved away, ut-tering noises which might have- denotedfear, or defiance, or both." Once in thecompound, a satisfying meal of plan-tain stems and hay restored their calm.

For several weeks all three elephantswill stay at the zoo, in quarantine; af-ter that, two of them will be taken to thd.East by Mr. Sole, and one—probably thoyoungest—will remain in the gardens.

News of the new arrivals brought acrowd of 2000 adults and 600 childrento the zoo. No time had been lost; a

■howdah had'been fitted to", the back ofthe baby animal, and many youngstersenjoyed the rapture of -their, first ele-phant ride around the gardens. Theolder .animals..were, also pressed into ser-vice; and-wero ridden -"'bare-back. Thethree mounts-;-; behaved with perfect de-corum. ■ ■

MEMACE OF "BIG BERTHA"

"Recent"technical progress4h the arts,of warfare places London under tho pur-manent menace of destruction by aerial.bombardment and by German long-rangoguns." This is the warning in an' articloin tho "Revue do France," by a distin-guished French Ordnance expert, M. P.Bourgoin, one of the senior engineers ofthe Naval Artillery Reserve. A renewedGorman offensive which fell far short ofthe German success of 1914 would, bequite sufficient, he points out, to bringLondon under the fire'of "Big Berthas."lThe. arc of a circle with a radius of 120[miles,; based, on London as its centre,would comprise, he argues, the area fromwithin which London could be bombard-ed by a perfected'long-range gun. Thiswould include Cape Gris-Ncz, oppositeDungeness, which is only 73^ miles in adirect line'fromLondon, and tho wholoof the French" and B(;igian coast betweenDieppe- and Nieuport. Another dangerfor "Britain, is soun by M.'Bourgoin inthe form of large submarines capable ofcarrying atroplaues. The submarine'srnge of vision would not be limited asit has been, and tho chances of a success-ful' blockade oi British iwrls would bejiici'eascd-

TAMMANY HALLGOVERNORS OF "WIGWAM"

LiNE OF CONTROLLING BOSSES

PROM TWEED TO OLVANY. ..'., Political bosses, like poets, are born,not made, declares Ernest Harvier in anarticle in the "New York Times," re-viewing the control'of Tammany Hall inNew York from the year..1867 to date.

A boss, he writes, is as necessary toTammany Hall as are whiskers to atiger cat. .'. Without a- boss Tammanywould be all dressed up with no place togo. But Tammany bosses are of twokinds—the real boss, whose word is 'law,whose scowl is . destructive, arid, whosesmile is realisation, "and. "the transient ortemporarily boss.

In the school book chronicles of Kingsand Queens.it is customary to.separatethe reigns of■' monarchs from the inter-regnum-—the missing link. -In describ-ing the bosship- of■ Tammany, accordingto this formula, the result would boabout as: follows:—■1867-1872—WilliamM."Tweed. Boss. :

1872-1884—John Kelly. Boss. . .--1884-1895—Richard Groker. Boss. |Interregnum—J. ,C. Sheehan. . :;. 1397—Richard Croker. Boss. , iInterregnum—Lewis Nixon.

,1902-1904—Charles F. Murphy. Boss.Interregnum—George W. Olvany.The duration of the present -interreg-

num- depends probably on the out-come ofthe" Presidential election in New York.Tweed inv.lßsß, Kelly in 1873, and 'Crok-er in'lßßs cemented their leadership by a.swinging Democratic victory at the polls.Tammany partisans are insatiate in this.A boss'must lead those who accept hisrule *to-victory. , A disaster . means bisretirement. . "Victory," wrote a Frenchpoetess, "follow me, and all things fol-low.victory." ■ ■ - '..; .MUST HAVE SUPPORT, '.-, 'The success of a Tammany boss is inholding continuously the support of thedistrict leaders:.w.ho made and who can.at any' time, -depose him. Just as thoold Croker element in. the Tammany.Executive Committee deposed,. w^ith verylittle ceremony, Mr. Sheehan ■ when ht>failed to conform to its desires, the "oldMurphy element," if it maybe so called,still strong in Tammany Hall, may de-pose the. present leader and substitutvfor him one of their own. "'"':.-

The duties '. of a. Tammany boss arenot those of an executive but of a^ con-ciliator. He finds an organisation ready,made to his hand, and his., main andparamount function is to maintain harmony and to win elections. A good il-lustration ,of this quality was shownsome years ago by the late Charles 3?.Murphy. He had been dependent for.many years on. the good-will and activesupport of the district leaders of Tarn-Thany, who constitute what is known as.tlie Executive, Committee of that organ-isation. In 1913 there was a new ap-portionment of -Assembly districts andnecessarily several of the old leaders,especially in the downtown districts,'were, as the saying is, "thrown to-gether."

_.«. ■' ■'■.Thus, in one Assembly district under'

the new apportionment there were threeformer leaders,.* and the attempt,^ ifwere, made, to subordinate thetions', hopes, and rivalries of.-"'either twoto one would have involved bitter pri-mary contests within the organisationand probably serious defections from it.It ;was a year of a; municipal election,and Mr. Miirphy. was naturally.desirousof presenting a united front to theenemy'J without serious friction in the or-ganisation itself.

The method he adopted to solve thisawkward situation showed him to be averitable political leader. Tammany ig-nored the new apportionment so far as itaffected the organisation itself, and allthe leaders were continued as before withthe result that in some Assembly dis-tricts there are now 'as many as threemembers, of the Tammany ExecutiveCommittee, while,in other districts hav-ing a, much larger voting population/there is only one. , .-..-■ '■'"

THE PBESENT LEADER. ': " ,The present'leader of Tammany Hall,

Mr. Olyany,, enjoys;one.. important',-'at-,tribute 'for permanent leadership.'' .Ho.is of old Scotch-Irish stock, and the men'and women' of that sturdy race have,contributed inestimable benefits to thecommunities in 'which chiefly they-havesettled—Canada, Australia, and theUnited States. ;. The"'district from which he:hails—-thejold Olvany residence was on Christopherstreet, near Bedford—is the 'NinthWard, which was for ia Hilv'mber of..years 'the. great stronghold of nativeAmericanism. . ,-, . '_.-'■'>

Whatever else it may ;be, Tammany.Hall has always been a resourceful or-ganisation, and .following the days of"Know-Nothing" ascendency in thoNinth Ward the policy it adopted wasto maintain as its leader there eitheryaScotchman or an Irish "loyalist'»'—a.Scotch-Irishman in- either case.,, This!rule explained the leadership for manyyears of the. late John J. Gorman, andof his successor, James Fitzpatrick, ,wbo.was at tho time of his death Clerk ofthe Court of General Sessions, as Sir..Gorman, had been, (some time before hisdeath) Sheriff of New York County. ■Asa consequence of this policy, the" wis-dom .of which, tliere. .will probably benone to -.dispute, a. considerable numberof the-, "oldpresidents;".-as- they werecalled, of the Ninth Ward were mem-bers of the Caledonian Club, then onHoratio street, and of various fraternalorganisations, particularly what wereknown as "Orange lodges'' in the mem-bership of the Masonic Order.Olvany was pretty well known to: every one in tho old Ninth Ward. Hewas a member of the Seventh AvenuePresbyterian Church in Seventh avenue,between' Twelfth, and Thirteenth streets,and one of its vestrymen. There arefew o( the old residents thereabout whodo-not remember'Dr. Graham, tlio-piis-lor.of this■church, whoso spiritual min-istrations caused him to bo much re-spected.

Tn the Ninth Ward of Mr. Olvany'sday there were many local industries. |One was stair-building, and tliere is still Istanding on Bethune street, near Green-wich, the former shop of John B. Voor-his, stairbuikicr. Not very far off onFourth street, near Barrow, is an oldblacksmith's shop in which were maderubber shoes for horses under a processof vulcanisation. The great popularityof automobiles lias largely done awaywith tho demand for these shoes, butthere is'- said still to be a considerablemarket for them.

"HOW SHEEHAN WAS NAMED.In tho year 1895 the late Richard

Croker, contemplating one of his Eu-ropean trips (ho h.'ici at that time ahestate in Ireland and .another in Eng-lauri), desired tr> have the reins, of ad-ministration in Tammany Hall taken upby another. Iv. this emergency he hadrecourse to the, counsel (if Edward AfniI-phy Jr. of Troy, United States Senator,then regarded as the leader of tho De-mocratic Party in the State. Mr. Mvu1?phy had a cottage at Long Branch andto it Mr. Crokar repaired.

"By the" slid sen. waves (if they we'resad "at thuL- period) there was a political.coutoeiicej-aud [urnier Semityr Mui'P.hy

recommended . the choice as Tammanyleader of John C. Sheehan, who hadbeen a Police Commissioner iii NewYork, and many years before that hadbeen Controller of the City of Buffalo.Mr. Murphy said, or is said, to have'said, that he would be responsible forthe fidelity and allegiance of Mr. Shee-han, and under that pledge he becameleader of Tammany Hall or bo3S of thatorganisation. :,

He took over the large rolltop desk,which is a necessary part of any Tam-many Hall leader's outfit. .. He hadstated hours Uyt the reception o£ districtleaders and others at the Fourteenthstreet headquarters. Ho was equippedwith a secretary to carry on the corres-pondence o£ "the organisation" and haenjoyed the inestimable advantages ofhaving his picture reproduced in manynewspapers and magazines,. .and hiswords quoted as. those of the representa-tive, of "the strongest"political organisa-tion in this city" then as now.. About two years. later an incomingsteamship from Europe passed quaran-tine, having on board, among other pas-sengers, the former leader of TammanyHall, Richard Croker. He proceededfrom the landing place of the steamerto the Democratic Club in Fifthavenue, where, lie made his home in NewYork, and a, few hours later there wasa considerable buzz of excitement in.Tammany circles as to what the returnof the former boss meant in a politicalway,: and ..how it would affect tlie ap-proaching political campaign.

/WHEN CROKER RETURNED.There .was a sudden scurrying to and

fro of district leaders and " their fol-lowers and satellites,. and after a fewdays the mystery was solved.when Mr;Croker began "sendingfor" some of theTammany leaders and Mr. Sheehan didthe came thing. .-■ But it was noted thata majority of those who respondedcalled on Mr. Croker, and it was soonevident that the reign of John' C.Sheehan as a boss of Tammany Hallhad ended automatically, and that Rich-ard Croker had resumed his former po-sition-—a case perhaps of "Richard "ishimself again.", The late Thomas F. Grady,' who wasstrongly inclined to epigrams, describedthe situation to the writer of thisarticle in these apt words : "You haveseen the three XXX -after the ale on tho:saloon sign! They mean that thebeverage ie extra'strong. Richard putone X in front of John Sheehan's nameto show that he was extra weak, inTammany."

In November, 1901, after the choiceof Seth Low as Mayor and the defeat ofthe ,Tammany municipal ticket, Mr.■Croker laid down for the second timethe reins of his boss-ship, audio wassucceeded by Lewis Nixon, whowas oneof the delegates to the recent New Yorkconvention which nominated Mr. Davisfor President and Governor Bryan forVice-President. Mr. Nixon is a nativeof Virginia, a graduate of the AnnapolisNaval Academy, and by occupation, orrather by. profession, a shipbuilder. -Hewas one. of the Commissioners appointedto office under the Administration ofMayor Van Wyek, and it was ■ believedby many that by reason of his ac-quaintance outside of political circlesand detachment from the routino workof Tammany Hall and its district lead-ers-he 'would; as' the expression is,"raise the standard" of the organisa-tion and attract to its support manyDemocrats who at the preceding elec-tion had shown themselves hostile to itscandidates'.

Mr., Nixon, who waa'fervently hailedIas -"boss," succeeded to the ' roll-topdesk and the other accessories of lead-ership. His incoming mail was sud-denly swollen to the.great benefit oE.thePost Office. Department, long-lost friendsreappeared. to claim the renewal of oldassociations, his portraits 'appeared'invarious newspapers and magazines, andinterviews with him were published inpapers all over the country' under suchattractive headings as "The Boss; Speaks,'" "The Tiger Will Obey."

Unlike most other Tammany, leadersor, bosses, or monitors, Mr. Nixon wjasah effective public speaker and not,'atall .vtOuefcrtnt to face a-friendly'audienceand describe to it political conditions,necessities or opportunities as he un-derstood them. As soon as the Tam-many leaders heard this theyonade de-mand for his presence at district meet-ingls, and at one held' on' the Bowery,

-not far from Broome street, he tookthe audience into his. confidences and" ex-plained his aims and purposes as Tam-many leader. ■ ■ '. ■'MURPHY'S LONG. .-RULE.' .'

If love levels all ranks, .as fortun-ately it does, change is the normal con-dition-o£ life. 'Itis so even with poli-tical organisations on, Manhattan Island,,and a few months after the choice ofMr. Nixon, that is, in May, 1902, itwas ■discovered by somebody, or every-body,, that Ix change in Tammany lead-ership was indispensable, ' and: . theresucceeded to Mr. "Nixon a triumviratedescribed in the pithy: language of thatday as "sport," "jokej" and "two-spot."

Triumvirates are never-of. long dura-tion in Tammany Hall, and after » abrief time two members of the politicaltriangle "dropped out," and 'one"dropped in," and the latter wasCharles F. Murphy, Who became leader—veritable- leader and ."boss—of . Tam-.many Hall in 1902 and. continued suchwithout serious challenge until, liis re-cent death a few weeks before the hold-ing ofthe Democratic National Conven-tion, which he and some of his friendshoped would culminate in the nomina-tion of Governor Smith for Presidentof the United States.

The late Timothy D. Sullivan, whowas an important factor in the affairsof Tammany Hall for many years un-der the leadership oE Richard Croker,John G. 'Slieehan, Lewis Nixon,' andCharles F.; Murphy,' defined the sixthings necessary, for the success of aTammany boss as follows : "First, don'ttalk; second, don't talk; third, don'ttally fourth, divide; fifth, put oneagainst the other; and sixth, grab allthe fellows you can from the outside."

We shall sco more clearly:the motives for\ the civil wars betweenrival leaders, Marius and Sulla, Caesarand Pdmpey, Antony and Octavian,which, at intervals for a century, sweptItaly after.

The period of .theancient civilisation ofGreece;and Borne—they aro coupled to-gether,:because Rome succeeded Greece-lasted from about 500 B.C. to 500 A.D.,.a thousand years, followed by the Darkand MiddleAges, roughly, from 500 A.D.to 1500 A.D., after which came the Re-vival of Learning and the beginning ofour moderncivilisation. Titus Livius ourlivy, born 59 8.C.", died. in..l7■A.D.,and thus . flourished' in the AugustanAge, the time of the first Roman"Em-peror, Augustus Caesar, and the poetsVirgil, Horace, and Ovid, and ihe his-torian Tacitus, slightly \his junior."■- It■was-the very zenith of-theold .Mediter-ranean civilisation, one of.the great peri-ods of the world. The Roman'■: Empireextended from Britain to the; PersianUuif, and from the frontiers of modernRussia to the Upper Nile, the whole ofthe ancient civilised world outside Chinaand India. The remains ofEoman occu-pation are to be found throughout thiswide area, and the language spoken bythe Romans is the basis of the languagesspoken to-day by the French,, Span'slrPortuguese, and Rumanians, .-while "chesame Latm tongue, has given iis- a good-Jy proportion of the words in'--our Jhiff-hsh speech Roman " jurisprudence isthe foundatwn of modern law-all;overthe wor d.

What Livybegan Gibbon completed. :,■■'.-"'.-'. "THE FAMOUS PREFACE

A translation can rarely preserve, thebeauty^and majesty, of.the original, butseme idea of Livv's purpose in writin"JiisJiislory may be gained from passacrcsJ.i nis famous Preface "with a peculiarlymodern flavour... .-. -.

"In writing the historyt of-the Romanpeople^ he begins,."from the very foun-dation of the city ;.-.. the reflection,.will be agreeable that I too have con-tributed my part to perpetuate thememory of a people who have becomelords of the universe. To write-thehistory of so great a people for a per-iod of more: than seven centuries must'bo a very laborious task; more, especi-ally1 as from a beginning: the most in-considerable, they raised themselves toa pitch of greatness which they are nowhardly able to support. . . ."How reminiscent of us the Romans oftins Inter day "weary Titans"-" with-our-""wond Empire ' ,"To the generality of. readers, too"

continues Livy, "I doubt not but theorigin of the city and what immediately:followed will be less interesting: whilethey hurry on to. these latter . times,whan for several years past the powersof tais extraordinary people have beenengaged jn working its own" destruc-tion. ..." ■■■■■■■-.

How like our modern pessimists!And this pasage.-" "I shall only re-quest the reader's serious" attention towhat respects the lives and manners ofthis people, the men ".arid measures inthe cabinet and in the Held, by whichtheir empire*, was formed and extended.Then-let him still continue to observe,whilst the strictness of their disciplinegradually ..relaxed, first n 'corruption .oftheir, "morals, , then a constant progres-sive, decay, and at last n, t-oial degen-<:r_acy, till he arrive, at tho.present ngr.,v.-hen "Ye can neither boar our political

FUNCTION OF HISTORY_Thon comes the famous, passage, thehistorian's declaration of right, the state-

ment of the function of the study of his-,tory in the scheme' of .-things, as;validto-day.as the day it was written andthe case against the sceptic of the useof -history at all: . ; ■.--,■- .. ■ '..:.-.'-....-."ln tho study of history there'is thispeculiar,advantages : There*you have ex-amples of every kir.d-.-set before yor< ina" conspicuous. -point of. view;, whenceyou may. set up models for your imi-tation, as an individual, or a state," orbeacons-to warn you, against base at-tempts which end. in disgrace. . .-'"."■■But his beloved Rome ! "Either I amprepossessed in favour of the work Ihave undertaken or there never was aState more respectable fyrits greatness,its sanctity or variety of excellent char-acters. Never was there a State intowhich luxury ; and avarice found' theirway so late, nor where poverty and fru-gality'wero.h-eld so long and-;so muchin repute, that-the''less'they had, theless they desired. Of late years, richeshave introduced .luxury, and a profusionof pleasures, a taste for extravagance inall the ways of riot »md debauchery. . -.-."Compare contemporary fulminationsagainst our; jazzing, age.

PERIOD OF NEW VOLUMESThis, then is. the, spirit in which he

approaches his great task, and it wasm this spirit that he accomplished it,so far as wo can judge from the partswe have already. Of the 142 books ofthe whole work wo Have; already familial"to every eeholar, the first, third aiidfourth decades, and halt of the fifth,Books I. to X., and Books XXI. to XLV.These brought the history of Bornedown to the time when the nation wasbeginning thei conquest of tho effeteEast, the relics of the Empire of Alex-ander the Great and his successors.The new volumes will carry the readerthrough the most. romantic' period ofRoman history with the tramp of thevictorious legions, under great generals,north, south, east and west, throughGaul .to Britain, along the Thames, thefaenio, and the Rhine;. along the Dan-ube to the Black Sea; through AsiaMinor,-Syria, and Palestine; and theinner desert, to Mesopotamia, along thebanks of the Nile in the. Egypt'of thePtolemies; along ,the whole of- North■Africa to Morocco, and through Spainand Portugal. .Then will be seen thedecay of republican institutions, andthe long struggles of military leadersfor power,ending in the short-lived

■triumph-of Julius Caesar and his assas-sination, and finally in the world-peace.established by. his more cautious grand-nephew Octavian, dubbed Augustus Cae-sar, founder of the Roman Empire,I which itself lasted long, enough to layindestructibly the foundations of modernEurope, its religion,- and /civilisation.The Dark Ages were like a flood thatswept over the civilised world, and didincalculable damage, but, at 'last sub-siding, left the basis intact,' sufficientfor us moderns to build upon, v

MEANING FOR BRITONS.Now the history of Rome is of spe-cial ..significance -to. the inhabitants ofthe British Empire,, because there" iscurious similarity' both' between thepeoples themselves ' and their history:Both" nations had small beginnings forso great a; destiny. Both' built up worldempires in- about the same "length -oftime—under- three centuries. ■: In the

course of their rise, to greatness bothpeoples fought; innumerable wars andbrought their civilisations amon." -alien,savage'races. To ,the 'Romans the oc-'cupation of Britain must have beensomething like the settlement of NewZealand to the Britons themselves someeighteen hundred years later." Bothpeoples;;came' in the. h'eijht "of theirgreatness to have serious "internal prob-lems .which' threatened their: existence.

£v y says> in tlle Passage quoted:ihey raised themselves to a pitch ofgreatness which they are now.hardlyable "-to "support- .:. when we can .liei-.theribear our political disorders nor theapplication of; a remedy. :. . .■"■ Rome rose and—fell; in' the periodof a thousand years.

THE STUDY FOR STATESMEN;^However that may be, .while we "are"-iwhat.we are, we have this advantage:;We can the history of. -Home, anempire of the past, and, like'a physician,hold :a

_post-mortem on the remains todetermine, the causes o"f decay anddisease-; History is simply the recordot mankind s" experience en earth andas such, us valuable to the' race on, earthto-day. ' Modem .problems' may ■" havethen- counterpart; in ancient, for "of nilthe elements, on earth, surely human na-ture is the most, unchanging. The aero-plane, the automobile, the radio-tele-graph, - the railway, the steamship—allthese are the appurtenances, the equip-ment of modern civilisation. , Behindthem man remains the same. That iswhy the and. the politicianare such, vital figures in our world Their.scope, is human nature, their properstudy, man, as/he wise poet said. Inthat study is it not "well to havo all the:data possible? A statesman is' all thebetter for a study of "history. In manycases, a knowledge of the story of th»past; makes all the difference:.between- a.statesman and a mere politician Astatesman -looks before and behind tothe future and the past; a politicianlooks simply around him in the'present.Does^this not explain" the failure of Mr-bloyd George in making peace;after hissuccess in making war? So it will bewith our own elected -representatives Aknowledge of the past would preventmany mistakes in" the-present ".Enter then Livy, with/all his monu-mental history of the rise. of. the greatestpeople of the ancient world, at last allcomplete. Let up bespeak him a wel-come by the general reader, for transla-tions will be forthcoming before -lon°-Livy not only records authentically as.within his-own"■lime, for the most part,what ]3

EFFORT

THRILLING MAORI SCENES

A REALISTIC BATTLE.

(mOSt OUR OWN COKRESrOKDENT.).: ■"/._■, LONDON, ,2nd, .August.On Saturday, 19th July, what was in-

tended to be the final rehearsal of; theAustralian and New Zealand section ofthe Pageant ofEmpire took place. Theextension of the rodeo and a number ofother circumstances had combined to-de-lay-preparations, and it was decided notto present the pageant to the generalpublic on Monday, 21st July. , Specialarrangements were made, however, forthose people who had booked their seatsfor last week and could not alter theirprogramme, but the rehearsals went onuntil the Thursday night. The weatherconditions were not; too favourable, butwhen the general'public were admittedon the Friday night the.. proceedingswent off .without any of those incidentswhich are the result of lack.of rehearsal."Last Saturday the Australian and

New Zealand section was staged, both inthe .afternoon and evening; and it mustcertainly be pronounced a success. Thethree or four hundred people' requiredfor "the New.Zealand;scenes wore Volun-teers drawn from all j>arts of "London,but included about fifteen of the staff ofthe New Zealand Office. The Maoriparty-of about 300 was led by Major R.Darisey, Mrs. Staples-Browne,- Mr. D.Barclay, Mr. G. Barclay, and.-Mr! TeKeri, and from the distance the 300 menand girls, excellently clad in Native cos-tume, 'might very well be mistaken.bytho uninitiated as real Maoris. Eehear-sals have been proceeding in Hyde Park,and the'-enthusiasm of the casual specta-tors was so great that it was not difficultto get recruits for theranks. ■ . ...

Last. Saturday was not as bright-aswas desirable, and the green sward ofthe Stadium was still wet from recentrains. During the afternoon and .even-ing, though black clouds.passed over thesky, no rain fell, and the actors werespared the unpleasantness it would" havecaused them iii their'slight and'unusualattire.

_'. , . .'-... .. ' .

The "SouthwardHo"section opens: witha sceno at.Windsor Castle in 1769. It isa garden party attended by over a thou-sand, of the" "quality.". King" George 111.and Queen Cliarlotte.are enthroned ratone end of tha. lawn. Groups of navaland military dignitaries, of'Court offici-als^ and of the nSbility of. the day withtheir ladies are biddeqj tt6 the Royallevee.. It is,a, brilliant scene. ' Men and"women are in the powder and patches of]the period, the women wearing1 the crin-olines, .-The red, the green,, brown, yel-low rose, heliotrope,^ orange, dove colour,violet, rose pink, and royal bluo dressesof the -■women dotted over practicallythe whole area of the lawn forms a, won-derful kaleidoscopic^1 spectacle. : Theyoung princes arrive'in a. miniature' car-1ria^e drawnby six small white-ponies.

CAPTAIN COOK'S MISSION.Tiien to the. strains of the orchestra,a minuet is danced by 500. couples. Asit ends a small group of naval officers,led by Gaptain Cook, enters from theIfurther -end, and :makes its way across'tho grounds. There is much bowing- andcurtseying, and Captain Cook is present-ed to the King. ..'■'■■' -.-■- :

ri "} :hJi-^Maid: vr'oll-'/of,you, 'CaptainCook, from myLords of theAdmiralty "says His Majesty,;"and I confide to youthe care of this expedition to the South-ern, Seas. We: have heard there are greatnew lands ,-there, .which 'may.be added!to our:Realm. Seek them but.' courage-ously." ■ Dr.- Joseph .Banks is also- pre-"|sented to the King, and other membersof the Royal Society. His Majesty tellsBanks ithat he has obtained some of thefamous merino sheep from Spain.' Theseare broughty in, and examined by, theKing, who says: "I wish to see if theycan be used in our country overseas."to the accompaniment of the or-chestra, the King's procession passes be-tween1 the bowing and curtseying- cour-tiers, and the whole assembly graduallymelts away.- : : , . . ., ; ■ :: -'THE ISLANDS/" " ';, .(By Alfred Noyes.)' . : \

Mr.-Alfred-Noyes has written specialverses to, form "The Golden Chain" ofthe pageant. Beforo the first New Zea-land scene begins a great choir sings theverses attributable to the Dominion tomusic by; Sir Edward Elgar. ...Southward now, the radiant islandsO'er the golden ocean rise; . -....Peaks of snow, and happy valleysWhere eternal summer lies; "Flocks that drift like clouds in-Heaven-Lakes that gleam like fallen skies; IArid the four great rivers,rolling,Through the ferns; of Paradise.'Yefc, Oyet, a shadowy island ' "■.Thronged on misty northern seasCalls across the world for ever,

" Calls,us—to our. mother's knees. ?

Ocean severs; ocean binds us.. Every whisper of the foamBreaking on our shores reminds \isThat an island was, our home. :Throughout the New Zealand scenesit is undoubtedly the Maori elementwhich lends them a spectacular" 'andemotional interest, which probably sur-passes that if-the,other sections of tho

pageant. To carry out the scones'on aflat arena with the.,public practically, allround is. difficult, and a certain amountof the delusion is lost. Nevertheless thedifficulties have, been :. admirably 'sur-mounted., The placing- and removal ofscenery m the presence of the spectatorsis done by a small army of assistants ingreen costumes. There aro largo num-bers of them;, and thoy dash out fromhalf; a, dozen .different places, and thechanges", are-accomplished'in the mini-mum of time. The pillars of the Stadiumare covered by scenery representin.r thetrunks of huge tree3, and these spreadtheir, branches over the masonry of thebtadmm roof. Atone end "the whole ofthe standing accommodation of the Sta-dium is disguised.as a chain of moun-tains rising up from' the beach. A lakein the foreground may be-as the armot the sea, and on the nearer hills aregroups of trees. There is necessarily agreat deal of compromise required. Inone;.act .the scenery has to.do duty forthe, shores of Wellington Harbour; inanother: the shores of Sydney Harbour.In other sections it does duty for vari-ous portions of Canadaand South Africa,but if the critical faculties are notbroughtI into play too strongly the scenery helpsout ths delusion admirably. -.-".■" "REALISTIC MAORI SCENES.

Phormium tenax clumps, and groupsof cabbage tres, and two or-three Maorihuts materialised in. a few moments." Ascreen fell forward, and there was rervealed the front- of a Maori meetinghouse, the replica of Mata-Atua now atWembley. It is the day. of Cook's ar-rival in Poverty Bay. Maoris are seatedabout their pa, women aro prej>arin.gfood, when a war. party returns withcaptives and carrying wounded. Therois the wailing of the women. Suddenlymen on tho high bank overlooking- thesea come running down ;n agitation, ut-tering- cries, and" pointing across thewater.

BATTLE OF ORAKAU.To present the Battle of Orakau witha degree of realism is not easy on a flatgreen surface/without cover; yet the

scene,is carried out with wonderfulsuccess. The crack of the rifles and thebursting of shells and great clouds ofsmoke*that envelop the pa, the warriorsand the soldiers, all help in the de-lusion, and coyer up a number of ob-vious deficiencies. An excellent repre-sentation of a palisade screened off oneend- of the arena. It was erected inless

_than a minute, v The Natives are'singing hymns at the close of their ser-vice. Red-coated soldiers appear at thefurther end of the, ground.' There is

a rush to arms, and the battle begins.One has. to imagine the natural covergiven by the ground, for the firing isfurious, but the casualties are few TheMaori, party fights outside" their stock-ade. In due course a flag of truce ap-pears, borne by an English officer, andthe chief Hauraki Tonganui, accom-panied by other'■men.and a woman ad-j.vance to meet ;tho party. There is theconference, and the: historic- "Akeake, ako!" shouted for all to'hear, andthe Maoris -return to their pa. The bat-tle continues.. Shells begin -to fall in-side the pa: The explosion of these isremarkably realistic; The noiso becomesdeafening, and the smoke' begins to ob-scure the .fighters. Flames leap outround the stockade, for ,the.troops haveset fire to the stronghold. A portionoil the palisade. falls to the ground andthe Maoris march out in a body fio-ht-lng as they go, and carrying' ' tlieirwounded and dead with them.

CAST OF CHA-RACTERS.All the leaders of the Maori partyhave worked very hard to make- theirpart of the pageant a- success. Thetraining of the London volunteers whotook the part of Natives has been under■the direction of "Major Dansey, whohimself makes :i dignified t:hk-f'';„ iho

In thoOrakau battle he : prefers' to be knownas Rewi Maniapolo, though it was prob-ably Hauraki Tonganui who took themore prominent lead on this occasion.Mr. D. Barclay and Mr. G. Barclay (ofAuckland) take the parts of lesser chiefs,and both of them do justice to the raceto which in part they belong. Mrs.Staples-Browne (Ereti Maihi Kakaupa-raoa) appears as an unnamed chieftain-es3 m the first two scene3, but in thobattle episode she represents Akumai,who was responsible for the "Ake, ako;ake," on behalf of the beleaguered wo-men. Mr. Te Keri is another chief,and takes a prominent part in thedances. A special word of praise isdue to him for the boundless enthusiasmand the inspiring energy he puts intohis hakas. Mr. T. R.

SIR FRANK BENSON'SAPPRECIATION.

"Never have I had to d.eal with suchenthusiastic material," said .Sir FrankBenson, the well-known actor, who con-trolled the Australian and New Zealandepisodes of the Pageant. "To a certainextent," he added, "the lack of train-ing is made up for by the enthusiasmand spontaneity of the volunteer spirit."

THE MUSIC.The music for. the Pageant was noteasily selected. Many considerations hadto'be borne in mind. One of them—asurpassing consideration—was the sizeof the Stadium. In. that vast area, com-positions might be charming if they,could bo heard, but lost in the air wouldbe so much waste energy. There is agreat deal of music in the Pageant, andas little speech as possible. The diffi-culty of introducing niuch dialogue or

spoken verse is obvious. Music1 per-vades the various , scenes. The com-posers from whose work tlio selectionhas been made are, like the Pageantof -the Empire. British as thev° are'they cover a wide field of art and aim!The music during, the New Zealand sec-tion.was: "God,.Defend New Zealand,"and Sea Chanties (arranged by Dr Rich-ard B, Terry); "When the YellowIv.owh.ai, ..Blooms" (W. Q. James);Merrymakers" (overture), (EricIOoatps); "Benedictus" (Granville Ban-tock); "'Waita-Poi'' and ' 'Tangi'' (Al-fred Hill); "Pro Patria" (March) (J.R. Davis) ; "Harvest Dance" (EdwardGerman), and "Empire March, 1924"(Edward Elgar).

APPEAL FOR INVESTIGATION

" MEDICAL ASSOCIATION'S: REFUSAL.

(PROM OUH OWN:CORRESPONDENT.). :■ LONDON, 30th July.Something in the nature of a challenge

to the. medical" profession was given bythe' Archbishop of York in an officialsermon delivered before tho BritishMedical Association. ■"I venture to think," he said, "thatyour Council should inaugurate an in-quiry into the relations between the'mmd, body, and spirit. I know of noconsiderable sustained scientific inqjiryinto this subject, which is one that,should be inquired into. What I plead.for now is not respect for religion ontheon& hand and science on the other, butthat science should discover' the place ofthe spirit in the healing and uplift-in* ofthe body." .

"We have come to a time,"v continuedthe Archbishop, "when the two channelsof healing—the prayer of faith and thoskill of the'physician—should b& broughttogether. There has been, or may besoon, a great revival of healing throughtho spirit of faith made active in self-discipline and prayer. At every stage inhistory there has-" always been.'thisstrangely, potent- pow&v, and within tholast few months Canada andthe UnitedStates have seen on a truly remarkablescale..revelations of this potency. Ex-planations may be'give'ri of tho phenom-enon, but the facts cannot be denied. Iventure to say. that they have occurred,are occuring, and in the near future willoccur, 011 such a.scale and over such awide field that they must be- acceptedas proving the reliability of at least onegreat and enduring power among mento relieve.or remove disease.

"Men of religion would not hesitatefor one moment to believe that herealso, as through medicine and surgery,'the Lord from.Whom the power of heal-ing comes, reveals'as-well the power toheal.; It would b& a great misfortuneif the two lines of healing were, to' bojealously kept apart and onewere tolook with suspicion on the other. Suchseparations must in the long rmi provedangerous if not disastrous."*■■'■. COUNCIL'S RESOLUTION.

The council of the association mot onthe following day in -private to discussthe Archbishop's suggestion. Afterwardsthe following official statement was is-sued : "The council of the British Med-ical Association has had before it the re-port of the preliminary investigations of.a committee recently appointed to in-quire in what way, if any, the associa-tion might be of assistance in the eludi-cation of what has been described asspiritual healing or the 'ministry ofhealing.' ■ The council believes that thodifficulties with which tho matter is atpresent surrounded are likely to lead theinvestigation outside the sphere of therecognised activities of the association,and after ' deliberation has decided notto proceed.with the reappointment ofthis committee^". BISHOP'S TRUST.

In a letter to the people of the dio-cese, the Bishop of St. Albans saysCanon Manning, rector of Barnet, isstricken with cancer. .He asks, "Is it fight to pray for re-

covery?""Such case as this (continues theBishop) is a challenge to our faith inthe healing and restoring and redeemingpower of God. So-we will pray hard imcl

THE W.E.A.SCIENTIFIC SPIRIT AND

LOCAL SCIENCE

MORE THOUGHT, LESSPREJUDICE

(% T. A. Hunter, M.A., M.Sc, Prof,of Philosophy, Victoria College.)

On the monument erected toBruno on the Bite where he wasburned for seeing more clearly than 'those in authority in. his days, is■■■.the simple inscription, "Raised toGiordano Bruno by the generationwhich he foiesa.w."—Robinson,"Mind in the Making.''To the student of to-day nothing is

more striking than the .change of at-mosphere he breathes when he: passesfrom the realm of physical science tothat of social science. In the former, hefinds a spirit of inquiry, an openness ofmind, an adventure of discovery, anappeal from the prejudices of the pastto tho facts of' observation and experi-ment-in the latter, a stifling of investi-gation, a fear of discovery, and thoovershadowing power of tradition. Itis this difference in atmosphere that,most clearly marks off the realm ofthings physical from that of thingssocial.

_Most men come to the latter'as partisans, not as inquirers.But the student.must remember that,judged by the time-standard of humancivilisation—to say nothing of those ofman qrof the "earth—it was but yester-day that this right of free inquiry inphysical science was won; tho echoesoi the conflict, in which Bruno,■Gables,and Kepler played such a noble part,aro still ringing in our ears. Investi-gation in the sphere of physical scienceis not only.free, it is encouraged. Onthe part of the leaders, of ■ scientific ]

thought at least, there is a genuineeitort to be guided by the facts, and tofollow tho truth whithersoever it loadsThis attitude of mind has become com-mon among the general mass of thepeoples of those nations that'wish to callthemselves civilised. It is, of coursestill possible for Mr. Bryan and. hisconfreres to urge that no teacher who.believes tho doctrine of evolution shouldoccupy a university chair, but the massot, tho people look on such an attitudeas misguided and abnormal. They re-cognise that freedom of inquiry inbiology—tho borderland of physical andsocial science—is, and ought to bo, thenormal condition of life.

What is the result of such an atti-tude towards inquiry?. Hardly a daypasses without its contribution to man'sknowledge, and to the extension of hispowers ni the immemorial contest hewages with Nature. In these fields ithas. been recognised that every attemptto shackle thought, every movementagainst experiment, is but rivetinn- onman the chains of those deadly twins—ignorance and impotence.'But as soon as the student enters therra.m of social science.he breathes an-other atmosphere. Prejudice, suspicion,and tradition; not science, are dominant.It is no doubt difficultfor anyone broughtup in _a particular religion; "economicor social system to realise that. it isnot the final end to which alKcreationmoves. Yet the history of man's pro-gress shows clearly enqugh that, likethe crayfish man must periodically castthe old shell if he is to be invigoratedwith-a new growth. While progress isthe dominant note of physical science,stability becomes the lea"ding idea 'in-social science. We have yet €6 learnthe lesson of Comte—progress withorder; - Again: and again we 'hear thecry, "You can't change human nature,"with, the unconscious v implication thatthe problems connected with man havebeen settled for all time, and "this, de-spite the fact that, as far as wo know,human nature is the most plastic mater-ial on the globe—provided we learnhow to handle it. It becomes, too, moreand more plastic with the increase inits social heritage. A brief two'thous-nnd years ago tho ancestors of ouri-tock were barbarians in Britain andNorthern Europe, 80 years ago '. thoMaori was in our eyes untutored andbarbarian. ...

AVhat is required in investigations insocial affairs is more thought and lessprejudice, more reason and less author-ity. The vital nature of the tissues andthe complexity of the material demandthat every encouragement . should begiven to free inquiry. Ono of tho dan-gers is that in these most complexrealms everyone feels competent to ex-press opinions "by the light of nature"without scientific investigation ■ substi-tuting his dip for the arc-lipht ofscience. H. G. Wells has suggestedthat iv. these days history is comingmore and more to be a race betweeneducation and catastrophe. There isno other sphere in which this is so trueas in that of social , relations. " Manmust solve these social problems ofhuman organisation and co-operation—national and international—or -perish.The first step to their solution is a re-solute facing of the facts, -a knowledgeof the great phenomena of social ■ lifo,freed from class prejudices and national.antipathies/. It is not unanimity ofopinion that we should desire—diversityis the very basis of progress—but unan-imity of spirit—a spirit that preparesus honestly to investigate the facts andabide by the result, a spirit that willenable us to rise superior to the pre-judices of the past and liberate us forthe service of the future. It is becausethe AV.E.A. is animated by this spirit,that it appeals to the inquiring adult. IIt provides a common meeting ground|.for those who, whatever their relWious.,political, .or social: creed, are prepared!to hear- opposing views, to put theirown opinions' (acquired by investigationon tradition) to the test, provided bytho facts and artniihonts of other inqiiirers, and to 3are to chance theirviews when they, find the weight of evi-dence against them. ' What is necessarytor a world m travail is more of theinquiry,spirit of Bruno and less of theintolerance that sent him to the stake.

And if I err, I truly do not be-'neve myself to err ; whether speakino-, or writing, I do not dispute for the- love of victory. . . . For love of truewisdom and for desire of true insiehtI-exhaust, I crucify, I torture my-self. . ■.. .—(Bruno, before his judges.)

THE POTTERY COUNNTYDOMINION VISITORS

ENTERTAINEDEARL OF HARROWBY'S

HOSPITALITY

MB. A. F. ROBERTS ON INDIVIDU-AL PREFERENCE.

(HtOU OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)LONDON, 29th July.

A number of Dominion representa-tives visited North Staffordshire lastweek and spent a very happy and in-structive few days there. Seven repre-sentatives of--Australia, two of NewZealand (Mr. A. F. Roberts and Mr. C.Holdsworth) and, one of Canada werethe personal- guests of the Earl andCountess of Harrowby at Sandon Hall.

The party arrived at Sandon Hall onthe Friday evening, and on the Satur-day morning they were taken to inspecta number of small farm holdings on theSandon Estate. .It was possible to com-pare the methods of small farmers withthose of similar men in the various Do-minions. On the Saturday afternoon agarden party was given at Sandon Hall,to which 800 guests were invited tomeet the Dominion rtpresentatives.

On the following day (Sunday) thevisitors were taken over"by motor car toHoar Cross, the residence of ColoimlMeynell, where they were entertaind at! luncheon along with some other Domin-ion representatives who were the guestsiof members of .the Stoke-on-Trent Cham-ber of Commerce. In. the afternoon, theguests were taken on to sco LUchiieldCathedral..A very interesting day was spent on

the Monday, the. party going by specialtrain to Stoke-on-Trent, where they werewelcomed by the:Mayor, split up intosmall, parties, and were shown over thevarious pottery works, in Stoke and theadjacent towns. The visitors were enter-tained at luncheon by the: Mayor andAldermen of Stoke. At its "conclusionthere was a further inspection of potteryworks. On the following morning "anhour and a half were spent in the Hen-ley Museum where;the whole history, ofpottery was recounted and the mamifac-turing processes explained by an ex-pert. Afterwards the Dominion' visitorswere entertained at luncheon by theNorth Staffordshire Poltery Manufactur-ers' Association and the North Stafford-shire Chamber of Commerce. --------BRITAIN OF THE PACIFIC. "Mr. C. E. Bullock, chairman of' thePottery Manufacturers' Federation, whopresided, said the business men of thePotteries must be content to let tlwiirproducts speak for themselves, tiavin"regard to the fact that their guests jhad had an.opportunity of thorou"hlylnspecting the ldcalpottery works.In replying to tho toast of the guests,Mr. Roberts said he was.proud .to speakon behalf of what, in-his little countrythey called "The Britain of the Pacific."New Zealand was practically the samesize as this country, and when ho hadsaid that he had described practicallyeverything, because in every habit andcustom in every way they were alwaysstriving to emulate and follow the ex-ample of the Old Country. North Staf-fordshire had done what they wanted tosee the whole of Great Britain do, andthat was to treat them as if they wereat home. He did not. think they rea-lised the depth of feeling there was inthe Dominions and Colonies for theMotherland—though 'he might use theword "affection" with more appropriate-ness than "feeling," for it did amountjto real affection. ...

"We all love the old land," Mr.'Eb-borts' continued, -"we all speak of thehome country, and we -want you onthisside to speak of us- in'the sameterms that we- do of you. -We talk al-ways of the Motherland, and we wantyou to look upon our lands as the lands ofyour sons. There is one word, whichrather grates on the minds of. manypeople talking of going 'abroad.' Nowwe think that the word 'abroad' coversthe whole of the world, and we wouldlike you to use a word that will be ap-plicable only to those children'countriesof yours spread all over the earth. AYewould rather, I think, hear you say that'you were going on a visit overseas; thathas a little more definite meaning thantho word 'abroad.' I can assure youthat-in our little Dominion every man,woman and child has exactly tho samefeeling towards this dear old land, andeven those who have been born theroand have never visited the Old Countrystill refer to it as the Homeland. If Ican only impress that upon you you willget, some idea ;of the intense.-patrioticfeeling towards the origin of all ourgreat, overseas possessions that exists inevery one of them."

Turning to the question of Empiretrade, Mr. Roberts went.on to say that84 per cent .of the total trade of NewZealand was conducted within the Em-pire, and when he came and advocatedto them the use of his country's pro:ducts he was afraid he had only a nar-row margin to work upon, because oftheir total exports 94 per cent, came tothe United Kingdom. There was, how-over) still that other six ptr cent, avail-able. On the other side lie regretted tosay .that .their imports from Britishcountries, including their fellow Domin-ions, had dropped to 76 per cent, of thetotal; still, that was a greater propor-tion than any other Dominion or Colonycould claim. That left a fair 'marginto work upon, but when it came to thetrade of the' Potteries he was afraid hisvisit could be of very littlo use to them.In studying a few figures before comingon the very pleasant visit to this districtho. was absolutely ,unable to; find in theNew Zealand trade returns any commod-ity of the nature manufactured in thisdistrict importen into New Zealand fromany ' other country, but the UnitedKingdom. (Applause). Therefore, hethought, he. could- say that as they hadpractically a monopoly of that class ofmanufacture in Great Britain they hadcaptured the -whole of New Zealand'strade. And he hoped they would keepit.'(Applause). ".;!'"

INDIVIDUAL PREFERENCE."Recently," Mr. Eoberts said, "thoDominions and Colonies received a. se-

vere blow on the 'point,' in boxing lan-guage, but, quite candidly we have not'taken the count,' and we are not goingto 'take the count.' We can combatthatj I think, by . what I may call . achange in tactics. If we cannot getlegislative Preference, cannot'we get in-dividual Preference? (Hear, hear).,That, is what I ask you to place, before!your people. If the people of. this greatcountry will only demand Empire goods,then I think this vexed question of leg-islation of legislative Preference, willdisappear into the background. But weask you to do that for us as wo on ourside do it for you. We. take, very goodcare that, at- least the vast bulk of ourtrade is done with the United Kingdomand with our follow Dominions. '"We have a somewhat selfish interestin the industrial welfare of this country;and we do all we can. In this extraor-dinary year of the- British Empire Ex-bibitiou the whole family is gatheredhere? .Cannot father and the boysget together and sno what <?;ui betl0110? We arc-, dependent upon the pros-perity of your industries, because.it isfr.li?. workoi-i in your industries v,:lw araour customers, jind ive arw jiowruidiiug a.

proud position so fir as the suppliersof Europe are concerned." The Domin-ion', with" its one and a quarter millionsof inhabitants,'was now supplying theUnited Kingdom with more dairy pro-duce than any other country in theworld.; They were supplying more thanDenmark, whose figure was passed twoyears" ago; and their next aim was to-doublo - Denmark's amount. ' New Zea-land was also supplying' Great Britainwith just over SO per cent, of the mut-ton and lamb imported in this country,and that was a very pround record forso small a country as he represented.Their total trade amounted to £72 perhead of the population, and he thoughtthat also was a. figure which would, bedifficult to beat. .

Mr. Roberts and Mr. Holdsworth re-turned to London on the Tuesday even-ing, but the remainder of the party warefurther entertained tliroughout the fol-lowing day."I am quite sure," said Mr. Roberts,

in speaking afterwards, of liis exp'eri--ences, 'that all those who had the pri-vilege of accepting the Earl-of Harrow-by's hospitality will look back upontheir visit with very great, pleasure.Thekindness of the host and hostess waswasbeyond words, and, in -addition, thewarmth |of welcome extended by- all.those thatwe met during tlie visit "to thePotteries district was.very;deeply ap-preciated. The'visit to the various pot-,tery manufacturers was extremely inter-esting,and instructive." T 'It was remarkable to what a great ex-tent the human element.enters into thepottery industry as compared with otlierindustries' where machinery has largelyobliterated- the personal factor.

WELFARE LEAGUE'SPARABLE

" '. " TO TUB EDITOR. ".;.. ... Sir,—May I again trespass on yourspace for a few more words, in reply tothe /Welfare League?' lam afraid heand I are so altogether at variance thatneither will-be able to convert , theother.. However, one can.but try. ' Theleague's, writer now states 'that hisparable was written to -show how fal-lacious is the' current Socialist doctrine"of .production for use" and," not.for pro-fit,, and claims to have, shown-how bywrong methods of economy the peopleof "Ever Present" brought .about theirown-ruin. ..JNlay I"point out: that thesepeople of Ever; Present,;, together; withthe reformer, who came amongst them,were-1the puppets of your correspondent'simagination, compelled' to dance as hepulled the wires^to- be -recklessly fool-ish, and to be "the victims of "ba"d'Rea-sons, famine, ;and disease'"before-he wasable to reduce them to the position hewished: -He places himself with regardto these people in much the"'same posi-, tion as Satan isplaced, inregard to the:patriarch Job in -..the .Bible,; and, -withthe same abortive results, ■ because .thesepeople in his parable are in ho way So-cialists, but simply,a collection of vt-ryfoolish; people improvident to a, degree,without control, or supervision of"anykind. Perhaps the greatest blunder isto assume that in ,a Socialist.state anyperson able to work would be per.nittedto sit idle, and live on the produce-ofthe labour of others. This state cfthings which we see around us underthe

_capitalist system!. is. just what So-cialism is organised -to put an end to,a: first principle of Socialism!being "If

a man will not work, neither"shall heeat." ■ ■■. . ■-■■.:.■.Again it is quite absurd to "assumethat a people with a "whole country attheir disposal would be 'fo\ idiotic asto all grow corn ajl the": time. theywore agriculturists, -be it remembered,and knew something,about the dotationof crops, even if the writer of the rar-able does not, and no.

"your correspondent now says that'his'parable "does not deal with the hmdquestion ,af all." Surely he knows,heis wrong here, the land being the'sourcefrom which all real wealth is produced,the national control of production mustpredicate the national control of theland. Adam.Smith, the economist, says,"In that original state of.' things whichprecedes both the appropriation ofland and. the ■ accumulation ofstock, the whole produce- of labourbelongs to-the labourer. He has neither■landlord nor master to share it withhim." " The accumulation of stock herereminds mo that philologists trace; themeaning of the word capital from thetime when wealth"' -was' estimated bycattle, and a man's income depended onthe number of head he could keep forincrease. Private ownership of landmust loom largo in all social questions,because ownership of the source of pro-duction gives ownership of the people,;who. having ho land/need the produceof the land for' their sustenance.' Aris-tocracy and serfdom arise naturally outof private' ownership of land. HenryGeorge, the only, economist whose worksI.have read who proves and tests hisstatements; says, "Poverty deepens .aswealth increases, and wages are forceddown, while: productive power grows,because land, which, is the source- of allwealth', and. the field of all labour, !iamonopolised. To extirpate poverty,, tomake, wages what- justice commandsthey should be—.the full, earnings of thelabourer—we must therefore substitutefor the,individual ownership of .land acommon, ownership. . Nothing else willgo to .the. cause of the ovil—in nothingelse is there the; slightest hope." The'league's representative writes of Social-ist Kussia; of' course he: knows Russiais not Socialist.

Finally,' in reply to his last question,allow me to say that the proportion ofthe people of New Zealand on. the vergeof starvation are the .married men,with or without, what are frequentlycalled, encumbrances, who receive wagesunder .£5 a week. These people with anatural desire to live "more abun-dantly," to eat well, if plainly^ to, dresswell, for the worker, like his employer,"loves that' beauty should £0 beauti-fully,"" to have spare cash, for reason-able amusements, and recreation, anda few shillings put away for the annualholiday.-; To these people, with the costof living so near to the amount of theirweekly income, a few weeks' unemploy-ment places them too near to starvationto be pleasant. There are others likemyself too young for the old rtge pen-sion, too old for many of the jobs thatoffer, out of work for'longer periods, allthe little, private treasures "ne topay rent, mid .in Wellington, owing tothe community-created values of peo-perty becoming the unearned incrementof tho landowners, I am compelled topay. as rent, for one room, twice asmuch as is' asked in England for a five-roomed house with garden back andfront.—l am, etc.,

The wildest bcenes of violence whicHha\o raged in the FiencL. Chamber, ofDeputies for many a session accompanied,the debate on the Left wing's proposalfor a political amnesty yesterday, which,debate is continuing to day.

During the discussion, Radicals andConsa\atices came to blows. Collarswoie torn off Deputies emerged from,the fiacas with bleeding lips and noses.The gallencs showeied the floor with)pamphlets.

The, most serious outbreak occurred;when General de'Saint-Just arose", in-hi*chair..,and pretended to be holding"yifle, aiming- at M. Malvy, ■' of* the -ob-Vjects of Conservative; hatred.; --Tiera-was a, chorus of jeersfrom;the Left, and'then a rush for the .General. .. Another,wave of assault!went towards M.-.Mfcgi-not, former ■ Minister of War. Thospeaker, M.'Painleve,-suspended the sit-ting and left the Chamber.--There-wasan interval of an hour-before the De-puties were sufficiently calmed to con-tinue, i ■ -.-- ■■" — " .-.

During, the debate the-name^wa's-re-called of MataHari, the dancer.who"wasshot as a; spy.:; The Eight; accused "theLett- ot wishing to pardon■ traitors, andthe Extreme Left called for punishmentfor"generals who were assassins".""'",".',"""

While the sitting was suspended 'andthe.Deputies were talking in-the ante-rooms, one of them recalled- that duringthe war some antagonists--.'in'":tKo" meleestood in quite differentdelation's"to" each:otlier.

Nineof the cottagesl are in one quadrangle,and these have the advantage of a cen-tral hot-water supply. Although theI houses have the latest labour-saving de-vices they have a delightful old-fashion-ed appearance, with-thatched roofs andpanelled rooms. Mrs. Dott engaged thecarpenters, bricklayers, and other work-men. ' ' ,

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

TOPICS OF THE DAY

{By "M.H.C.")The question of a welfare board, tobe

Bet up in the interests of all social service■work, and to be composed :of Govern:mental officials and representatives." ofsocieties, is a. fair-seeming oneon the sur-face, but. underlying .'this- surface, is anumber; of ...difficulties. " One- of,: theseplainly is that the work .of. detachedsocieties:at, present is going 'on - well.There may be a little overlapping, butit Is not marked. The work :of* each:is .carried on by: people "who'take^a spe-cial interest in that 'particular- branchof effort, and study it from all. points;understand the needs of the people con-cerned, . and .give a sympathy ..which is,the essence of success. 'There are.{work-.'ers who, for one. good .reason ;ov ano-ther, would not be chosen as represen-tatives, yet;who are. heart ' and ";soul.in. the :service, and 'would be discour-aged by outside interference,: perhapslint regulated or checked by the ■ iudir-virtual representing the' body, for lackoi understanding or sympathy. It is a■well-known fact that discouragement isvery easily; given, and therefore whileoccasional couferences accomplish a greatdeal, a constituted board, with definedpowers, might; cheek a great deal ofeffort which at present is well-directedon informal lines. ,'. '"■■." ■ "'.-■ ■■_

Tho "ownership ofsea beaches" is nota. subject which would appear, on firstglance, to be one which would affect thewelfare of women and children veryseri-ously, but an Auckland speaker at therecent conference in.the South showed-tliat: around the "Qpeen City", private,oVvncr.sh.ip right--.down to the seashorehad:-:-;niaao a"; difference in ..the way. of:'overcrowding of the free-to-all .beaches.It certainly should be a subject of careto those who have the' supervising - of.the.'general' rights of. citizens to con-serve the beaches for the.use of all, andnot to allow pieces here, there, andeverywhere to be bought up by privateowners, spoiling theWaterfront for thegeneral public: One of the prettiest.sights in the world is a long, fine .beachwith crowds of children and others en-joying the sunshine, bathing, and "lfav-i'ig the time of their lives" in the sand":—health-giving, cleansing, and - cheer-ing, perhaps, after a life in a" narrowstreet. Beautiful photographs from Eng-land showing-beaches at Ram'sgate, Mar 7gate, Scarborough, and many, otherplaces,' while those abroad are equallyinspiring and beautiful,.point 'to whatthe ideal for beaches may be, and itwould be a sad mistake if the finelx-acb.es iii New Zealand were cut up in-to sections and spoiled for general use:.. -Apparently a quite' successful' firstyear has been passed by the Women'sLeague of New South. Wales'^ and themovement has spread out into manybranches. The objects of{the - leaguebriefly are as follow ':■—(l)' Loyalty toKing and Empire. (2) Tlio enfranchise-ment women on the same, terms asmen ni other countries.'. (3) An equalmoral- standard 'of morality betweenmen and women. (4) "Women in muni-cipal councils and Parliament. (s)' Equalyay for equal work, and the professionsas between men and women. (6) Equalguardianship of children. : Eeforms inchild welfare. (7) The League of Na-tions and the practical application of theprinciple of equal opportunity for menand women within it. (8) The educa-tion of women on', public questions- on.non-party lines. The strong feeling ofthe women appears to be that they mustIapproach" all questions on their merits,and not from any party standpoint, andthis, if carried out consistently, 'willmean that they will do excellent work.It is rather . extraordinary how thequestion of "party" comes in to spoil, to;a great extent, the bestefforts. The oldstory of the. malignant fairy -named"Tape" who;came into the kingdom ofHappyland and, as soon as any splendidthing for the benefit of the people-Hvasabout to be carried into being, came for-ward, with a rush of wings, and laidher finger on the plan', with the ; onemagic word: "Tape"; and the intentionswithered, and .the* people' were discour-aged. Finally, just as. the landiwasabout to come; to destruction, a gallantprince arose who met magic with great-er .magic, and encompassed the destruc-tion ot the malign influence. The writerof the allegory did not need fo explainthat the. fairy in full: name was simply--"redtape."- . ' ,

Tho story of a strike oil reformatoryprisoners at Pentridgfe discloses: a verylamentable and extraordinary state -ofthings. It appears that.while a criminalis serving a definite sentence he- is al-lotted a task in the .manufacturing sec-tion,- -whereUio will have an opportunityof learning a good trade under propersupervision, and .with an interest at-tached to it in the way of earning alittle money. But as soon as a man liasbeen removed to the. indeterminate- re-,formative section, he is,.,it . is. said,:simply taken fram a life of honest, in-teresting work and given; little or no-thing to do. Officials are said to have'given the opinion that the reformative'part of the treatment is simply a breed-ing ground for discontent or for theplanning of future evil. Account-is givenof: an easy and comparatively luxuriouslife, wherethe men give a little servicein the cook-house, do a bit of gardeningand so on, but have not nearly,, full oc-cupation for the day. . They playgambling games and, it is feared, con-spire in groups to commit further crimeswhen they are at liberty once more.Thisseems most extraordinary, for who isthere that has not realised over and overagain the truth of the old saying "ForSatan finds some mischief still for idlehands to do." The ideal of such aplace as a reformatory should be, onewould think, to bring before- each. per-son the real pleasure to bo found in hon-est work; to find out by expert exam-ination whether a man has' talent inbrain or volition, and to cultivate thattalent in the prison work nearest to hiscapacity; to encourage- him to do hisbest; to cultivate his talent for the timeindustriously in order to make him effi-cient in some direction. Then, with'themen who have responded well, to followthem into the world with a little adviceand help, would surely be the saving ofmany a man.. But to plunge him into ahalf-occupation after partially cultivat-ing him seems a most extraordinaryproceeding, and it is a cause of wonder■"who can have blundered on to thismethod," which seems to point plainly inthe. direction, of "how not to do it." Itappears that the men at I'tntTidge, whohad been'Laken off the manufacturingwork and given a little gardening to do—not neearly enough tofill up tht day—threw their tools into a lake"'as a protest.Fur this they were sentenced to a periodof solitary confinement—one of tho relicsof a barbarous und uncivilised state ofpiankind.

PARIS IN THE LOOKINGGLASS

FACTS AND FANCIES

(Written for "The Post":\iy

' "Genriaine.")

■ PARIS, 16th July. 'All of the world thought things weregoing to get fuller round the bottomand flare, a little. ,Some of the staidand tiny old-world conservative nations?ven gambled on it, and; built up crea-tions in advance-of the last"'' openings.".And wouldn't you recognise that as thesignal for things to wrap tighter still?

Instead of.coming straiglit down; likethe rains from Heaven, not ■accompaniedby -a. wind, storm—the silhouette goes in

—just where it was expected to go out.At least several of the makers of fash-ions have launched a movement withthis for its keynote. This cult for tightlines was evidenced at Bagatelle lastweek.'The women-gathered on the lawnsin the brightsunshine looked almost eth-.ereal in their scanty, short robes andcloso-fitting hats.. The girl of the dayglides along, her small slight frame sup-ported on the slimmest of ankles cov-ered by stockings in a tint o£ mother-o'-jpearl. It is perhaps; the: growing in-terest in physical culture, .or the arrivalof the highly-trained athletes for the

Olympic Games,which'helped to frightenaway feminine .flesh/. ■ Certainly, in .her.summer suit, be it in. iliarocain, alpaca,satin, 'what you Syill, the Parisiehnelooks like the,-triumph of some severe,self-denyiiig;,ordinancej .and; she is de-lightful" to -watchin her graceful fragility.The change from .the; plump; 18th cen-tury belles depicted on .the'-walls' of theChateau de '".Versailles; ,for > instance, isamiost. nmaculbus.'", ". ■;;■ \; . ■',■/_ ;. "-VOGUE OF OSTRICH FEATHERS."■; With ihe vogue for ostrich feathersin. every': conceivable' form of -trimming,'the big. ostrich- fans continue to holdtheir own. :' The Spanish star,"ftaquel Meller, who has' beeiv.singihg atthe Dauhou Club, carries;'a hugeiostrichian to set off aTjjy costume she, wears.Last,.night she carried a white fan al-most, as big,as herself, and-it: looked1 ar.ticula.rly handsome" with -her whitefrock .embroidered in diamonds. At the." aces the past week ostrich fea-ther.accessories; and trimmings on frockshave':been the outstanding feature onthe -'dresses-..worn" by smart Parisiennes.At. the v Grand Prix the- ostrich para-sols offered the most.attractive.splash ofcolour, and ostrich boas ■were numerousand especially numerous in pastel shadesworn -with . organdi. frocks. :A dainty.little person was the target for. manyadmiring .eyes on .the same occasion,wearing a frock of shell pink crepegeorgette, .with a huge feather boa' ofthe same delicate pinkv ■■""-'.OSTBICH FLOUNCES FOR. GARDEN/.PARTY DRESSES.7 -- -,

A costume which was much admiredat the Madrid the Dahsant the otherafternoon was a pervenche blue crepageorgette frock, with long straight coatoii the same1 crepe, haying-a deep bandof ostrich ton-sur-ton around the bot-tom; The wearer carried a parasol whichwas a mass of tho same blue ostrich.Haquel Meller again attracted great at-tention, with ■ her .parasol covered withlong ecru ostrich plumes, which fell offthe edge. Themajority of these parasolshave sewed-in. ostrich sprays resemblingfringe, but that carried by the Spanishsinger was the handsomest of all' thingsthat were seen at the Chateau de Ma-drid, with' its bcaut'ful long plumes.

LACES, CHIFFONS, CREPE DE

" . " . CHINES.Filmy laces, "diaphanous chiffons, light

ciepe de chines, and dazzling visions-offashion have appeared at all tho after-r.oon social events this season. Contrastsof hues, bright reds, brilliant blues orgreens, frocks which resemble flowers forthe delicacy and brilliance of their hue,,have been seen and are everywhere.Silks, hand painted in wonderful de-signs, muslins embroidered with gold andsilver threads, and yet apparently aslight as .a feather, form the foundationior many frocks, and there is often a'faint shimmer of silver or cream in theform of an almost invisible cobweb scarfto accompany these dazzling .dresses.

Somo of the oi'gandi dresses are o[ thecrinoline order. In cyclamen or painviolet, saffron yellow, dainty china blueor pure white, almost all the muslinsthis season are printed with gorgeouslycontrasting designs, in green, rose pink,brilliant red, or some other hue. At theBal del' Opera this year (a Spanish ball,by the way), lace gowns were in evi-dence. Lace gowns, lace frilled lingeriegowns, and lace scarves all -inheritgory from Ihc great mantillas across theFvren^es, _£JX*>^ 4k§ foai&-lik«! fcuiie

scarves which are worn with eveninggowns of every sort are to.be counted asrelatives of the white mantillas whichappear in festival days in Spain.SEEN■IN THE CHAMPS ELYSEES.

A flowing tie used to be consideredlha mark-of an artist, but things havechanged. Now the artist wears thestarched collar, when business men areIndulging in the soft variety, and the(lowing tie has legitimately come into thefield .of feminine apparel. Witness ~the

■""' Claudine " collars which some of thesmartest couturiers have launched, muchto the .delight of women—young women,■bien entendu! One of these was madea- feature of a costume seen the othermorning in the Champs Elysecs. Itwas of white orgjmdi edged with black,the tie finished to match. Carrying onthe black and white symphony was alittle leather hat of black and white (insections), a black leather handbag witha white strap to fasten it, and a pair ofLiack and white gloves. ;

COLOURS A- LA MODE.Many new and ■ beautiful colours are

to be'seen this season, and they have all"strange, and wonderful names. A fewol them are: Luciole, Cheveux de laReine, Rouge Laque, Vert . Lumiere.Lacquer red, a most brilliant colour,: isa great favourite among women thisyear.- Luciole, which resembles the col-pur of a firefly, is also very fashionable.,.The great demand for green is met withvert Lumiere,' which resembles but isbrighter than apple green. \ Cheveux dela reine is.the name given to a seriesof tints from henna to a.severe darkbrown. Another popular colour is ban-ana, while: cyclamen and feuille mortesre still much in demand. Alabasterwhits is the term given to a dainty effectof white with a .glint of silver in it. '.

Flounces of -white. lace fall over thiswhito*Batin evening dress,'the same lacetrims the'decolletage.; Sprays of roses andtransparent green grapes are scattered hereana there over this exquisite creation. Itis exceedingly youthful.

WOMEN IN ADVERTISINGSUGGESTED OPENINGS.

An interesting opinion on the opportun-ities for women, to.; take up. careers inadvertising was expressed recently by Mr.-Thomas M'Dougall, a well-known pub-licity expert in London. Mr. M'Dougallwas^reported in the Press as having utter-ed the hope, that "the visit of the Ameri-ca^ women advertising experts to Eng-land, to attend, the International Adver-tising Convention at Wembley will dis-pel the ignorance here'concerning theenormous possibilities o£ an advertisingcareer for our women.".-..The prospect of.a woman being associ-ated in a few years' time- with each of thobig manufacturers in -the advertising de-partment and of'poeitions created for wo-men in connection with women's de-partments in tho big sliops. was enter-tained by Mr. M'Dougall when ho laterdiscussod this subject more, fully with a"Daily Telegraph" representative. "Donot misunderstand mo ,and imagine thata- largo number of posts arc vacant sowand only waiting for women to step intojthem, 'ho continued. "Ready-made postsare comparatively rare. But I am con-vinoed that thero is room in the profes-sion for a' large number of women withideas and initiative-to create posts, and.that with a view to the immediate pros-pects of advertising,-tho present is an ex-cellent time for women to take up thisoccupation. A woman should know-better how. to advertise women's goodsthan a man docs—to phrase, for example,an .advertisement; for a'pair of stockingsin a more telling way. 1 have just re-turned from a visit to America, and■■while I only know of half a dozen wo-men who aro at the top of the troo inadvertising in-this country, thero must beat least 300 m'America who possess largeadvertising- clubs, and some of whom areearning 10,000 dollars a year."He suggested that want of imaginationhad prevented; British girls from seizingtheir opportunities in this direction. Men-tally they wero justas well fitted for suchcareers as American women. The naturalresorve of.the English character need notprevent a girl from entering this occupa-tion, so long as sho hail sound common-6enso, judgment, and enterprise,. for, inhis opinion, the pushful, aggressive typodid no good to the profession. A goodappearance would enable a girl to com-mand respect, and if she possessed thoknack of getting "right to tho point" showould be sure of a hearing. ■Mr. M'Dougall also dealt with training.A public school education was sufficient,he said, although he would like to scopublic schools taking up advertisingcourses seriously, und sending their pupilsout with the technical knowledge oftype, designs, the writing- of advertise-numls'l and m> forth. It was of jfrcat as-sistance to a beginner to study tho vari-ous advertisement's in magazines and news-papers, and to try to improvu on Iheni.The next step was to go into an office andgain experience, and the able advertiserwould work up to the position of adver.-iking manager to a firm at a salary of£2000 to £3000 v year.

MODERN DANCING

At a dancing contest recently the fin-est dancers in the world assembled at ,the Queen's Hall, London, to show whatthey could do.

One does not see these celebrated peo-ple everywhere, says a writer in an ex-,change. In their way they ara all art-ists, though they dress in the- most ex-quisite taste and use a Terpsichoreanjargon utterly bej'ond the vocabulary ofthe average dance-goer. To such as theseballroom dancing is an art as -well asa pastime. They spend their lives danc-ing—in the studios dotted all over andunder London, 'in the big dance halls,in luxurious West End ballrooms, in.jthe ■ enthusiastic . suburbs, in Paris,Stockholm, Madrid, and Amsterdam. j

There is no doubt that to qualify as ja dance champion of the world, among,well-known candidates of the most im-posing professional and amateur stand-ing, a very high degree of style andgrace are demanded. Your ryhthmmust be true to a fraction of a, second;your deportment must be irreproach-able ; your movement must be slick andeffortless; and your style generally acombiation of courtliness, self-possession,and the gliding languor which marks theperfect dance couple. Dignity, not joy,are the characteristic virtues of the mod-em dances. .'"■-. ,

One famous dancer has won, with her jpartner, over 50 .of the big Londoncompetitions. She is a born dancer,-.avery Pavlova, of the ballroom, andtakes her prizes, as easily as a prettywoman takes a compliment. The momenti\vs girl begins to dance she is in anotherworld. There is a; resilience, a flyinggrace all through her body. Her part-ner is no loss accomplished. He. movesacross the floor' with the■■"dignity of. aRolls-Royco. He is imperturbablygraceful and correct. The two ofthem have never known the experienceof dance fatigue, for the\music and themovement are an everlasting inspiration"to them. Their less strenuous occupa-tion during the hours of daylight (forair dancers are really night-birds) is in-structing they halt and the lame in theintricacies of the open turn and thethree-step. . ,; ' ...

COMMON-SENSE ANDNERVES

A woman writing about nerves says:"Sometimes one sees a mother sacrific-ing all her own personal inclinations inorder to give her children a good time,or a wife reduced. to:a- colom-less nomn-tity bya selfish, dominating husband, ora-daughter deprived of the .ordinarypleasures and pursuits of young woman-hood by the exacting demands of aninvalid parent, or an elderly 'Womanforced-"by circumstances to. live with a.son and daughter-in-law, who is' expect-ed to subserviate herself entirely to theycunger generation,-or an employee who,has to clioke back personal preferencesand stick at some uncongenial' work be-er.use this is all that offers in,: the wayof a living. ■; Suppression of- this typowill often, react on the nerves. . . .Atbest, however, this is a dangerous sub-ject, because it is so easy to imagineoneself the victim of some such intan-gible tyranny. ,

"Then there are some wise and. muchwanted words on the soothing effect oforder. :The habit of making a placefor everything and keeping everythingin its place may be called old-maidishby lazy or indifferent workers, but itis a remarkable time-saver and nerve-.Siwer. . . . The mere sight of disordercan actually produce nervo'is irritation.'Undoubtedly, simplification is needed inour ordinary hVes, whether in business-or-in the home. . Many people allow theworking day ; to become littered overwith hurried appointments, lunch-timeshopping, .telephone calls, and letter-writing, and exhaustive rushes.

"Few girls or women realise how help-ful a system of method, routine, andgeneral, orderliness can be. when one'snerves are jangled, more esepcially ifone's surroundings can. be simplified■and extraneous matter cut.out >vherepracticable." ...

INVALUABLE OLIVE OIL

When frying food, do not use drippingunless you: have rendered it yourself or-are quite sure of its source. Try olive■oil. For eggs or fish it is excellent, andsufferers from indigestion can safely eatsuch fries without after-effects.

It will speedily eradicate a, bruise iftubbed on every quarter of an hour forthree hours. In cases of scalded mouth,drink a little oil and bandage the throatwith a cloth wrung out in hot water.'I- Excessively thin people will "find ifcan excellent flesh builder ;-:3t is easily as-similated and never causesbile. ;'

It is the basis of many high-priced skin,foods,''and if rubbed into the skin atnight time will make a wonderful differ-ence in a short while.

Regular users of olive oil never sufferTrom constipation. ". : ;If your hands are stained with kitchen

duties, or fruit stains, rub them with,the oil and wash'in warm'water. 'CARE OF SHEETS

Sheets wear much longer if they are.turned both ways on a bed. If is riotnecessary that. the wide hem of theunder sheet be, always at. the top. Asheet, .if it is one of .the large sizes,can be used crosswise as well as length-wise, thus bringing different parts of it.into use and wear.

CREAMING HARD BUTTER

When winter comes, butter is 'hard.To cream it, then, with the usual beat-"ng spoon; is difficult, but to do it witha small wooden potato masher is noeffort at all. . ■ '

Little FolkTHE BEETLE BOYS

(Written"for "The Post" by MargueriteJohnston).

Far away among the forest pines, thetree-ferns and the nikau palms, MotherWeka kept a home for Beetle boys. Shehad six little Beetle boys to care for—Rama and Kawa, Rangi and Tane, Koheand little Ra. At night they slept in alargocosy nest in the low fork of a spread-ing pine. In the day they went toProf. Kiwi's school in the nikau grove

It was spring and early morning.Prof. Kiwi had been awake all night[preparing examination questidns, and jwas taking a nap before the day's workbegan. In Mother Wtka's tree theBeetle boys were justwaking.■ "Wake up, wake up," cried Rangi."It's examination day, and you knowwhat Prof. Kiwi says : Jf we get upearly our brains will be fresh;.so if weget up very early our brains will bevery fresh." .

"A cold plunge will freshen them upstill more," said Rama. "Let's go for adip." . / ■ "■ ''■

All the little Beetle boys'tumbled out'of the'nest in a great hurry and scram-bled through the forest to the pond. ""I'll hold the towels," said little Ra,"if we put them on the ground theymight get;dirty."

"Baby," teased Kohe, "that's just anexcuse."

'"Glorious!" cried Tane, as he took a jheader. "It isn't abit cold." i j

"Do you want a shove?" asked Bama. |"No," cried Eangi, " "there's an eel j

down here." ■ §"Then' I'll go. in and join him," |laughed B-ama.' "It's bonza," f"There's still heaps of time," said |Tane, as. the boys dried themselves. I"We can go and see th& sun rise.. Prof. |jKiwi is sure to give us a question'about |the sun."- ', ■ ■

_ . IAway up the hillside climbed the boys ]

to watch the rising.sun. . . j: "Do your brains feel fresher?" asked jKawa. ■-.■"■ " ■ . I

"Mine feels very fresh,", said ■little Ea. ; :. ' . jThe Beetle boys hurried down the j; hill and rushed into the kitchen where j

(Mother- Weka was stirring the hinau |porridge.... ''I hops there's plenty,1. MotherWeka," said Kohe.

"As it is examination day, I havecooked a double quantity," said MotherWeka, 'When breakfast was over, MotherWeka said, "You must go to the orchidpatch and dig the potatoes for-dinner.Then you can gather, some loninis andif-you.are good.boys I shall make you akonini pie." ■ ■ . >"A konini pie for dinner !"■ cried theboys in great glee as they set off forthe orchid patch. .

Then to the konini trees they: went,where Big black berries all shining andluscious, hung from-the branches. . ■'. /

"What a bonza pie ve'l). have," theycried. ' ;

"I'm. going .to the very top where thefattest grow," said little Ea. Just then,ja spider peeped but from his trap-doorand gave poor Ea such a fright that he"tumbled head foremost :nto the creekbelow.

"My brain feels a little, bit too fresh-now," he said, as he scrambled out.

"Now," said Mother Weka,. as shetook" the baskets of fruit that the boyshad brought her, "don't forget to takenew slates." ;

"We have new slates every day," saidthe Beetle boys, "but,that doesn't al-ways make us work well."

Onthe way to school the boys stoppedat the Eangiora. tree',and picked the'verybiggest leaves they, could find. "Theseought to help us get our sums right,"they said. ..-'"■' . _

"Bright and early," said ProfessorKiwi, when the Beetle boys< arrived."That's right. I have set very easyquestions to-day, so. I uxpect some goodanswers." . ■Professor Kiwi turneid to the board."If one tui flies three raile3 an hour aidthe sun is ninety-three million miles fromthe earth, how long will intake six tuisto reach the sun?" I

"Please, sir," asked little Ea, "didthey start from .the Valloy or from thetop of the hill?" .'

"No questions are allowed," said -Pro-fessor. Kiwi sternly.

"I knew there would be somethingabout the-sun," murmured Tane; "whata good thing we went."

"Six tuis will fly six times as fast asone," whispered Eama.■ "Name,; three birds that make theirnests in holes in the ground ?"■ con-tinued Professor Kiwi. .."<

"That's very, easy," whispered Kohe.to little Ea. "Three kiwis; say kiwis,and you'll get good marks."

"Here is another question," said Pro-fessor Kiwi. ''Divide thirty-six wormsbetween two kiwis, giving one kiwi sixmore tlian the other?"

"Are the worms all the same size?"asked little Ea. _'-.-.

"Yes," said Professor Kiwi."Then it isn't.fair," murmured little

Ea. "I'm going to give them both thesame." - . ■■ .

Mother Weka had ,a nice dinner forthe boys when they returned. Therewas roast tawa with, orchid potatoes,nikau salad and kawa-kawa sauce; ko-nini pie and fungus jelly.

"How -did'-'you knew we'd been good,Mother Weka?" asked little Ea. Mother.Weka was busy helding the dinner, soshe did not answer.

"I'm as hungry as a caterpillar,"cried Kohe. ■ , ■

!" "Boys are always hungry on examina-tion day," said Mother,.Weka; "did youall-pass?" .

"I did," said little Ea, "because Pro-fessor Kiwi told ma I could.go first."

_- "Yoiii must have done"very--well," saidMother' Weka proudly.

"Can two halves make a whole?" ask-ed Rangi. *....'

"What kind of halves?" asked MotherWeka. -"Tawa berry halves," said Rangi, ashe put one in his mouth.

"I'm sure they couldn't," said MotherWeka. "Who says thoy can?"

"Professor Kiwi says so." ."I can't think when I'm eating," said

Mother Weka, "Professor Kiwi's holesare a little puzzling."

"Professor Kiwi said il. would take himall the afternoonto correct the answers,"

I said Rama, "so he has given u$ a holi-day for the rest of the day."

"As you have done so well," said, Mother Weka, "you!may go to the troutpond after dinner and catch some fishfor toa."

"Hurrah!" cried the Beetle boys.'"Three cheers for. Professor Kiwi andMother Weka. Hurrah !"

WHY LADIES SHOULD NEVER-USEA RAZOR.

In youth the hair on a man's face isfine, soft, and downy. After he com-mences to use a razor it becomes stiff,coarse, and wiry. A. razor only stimu-lates hair growth just as trimming a,hedge makes it grow faster and thicker.This is why ladies using razors find thehair only grows coarser and coarser and Ireturns each time more rapidly and morethickly than before. With the discov-ery o£ Veet, ladies need no longer use,

razors. Veet is a perfumed, velvetycream that removes hair like magic. Ithas been endorsed and recommended bythe medical profession. Whereas razors

" and ordinary depilatories merely removehair ahovo the skin surface, Veet meltsthe hair away beneath it. Veet lias nounpleasant odour, and id as easy to us«as a face cream. You simply spreadVeet on just as it. comes from'the tube,wait a few minutes, rinse it .off,'and thehair, is gone. It leaves the skin soft,smooth, and while. Entirely successfulresults are guaranteed in every case ormoney is returned. Veet may be obtain-ed at 4s Gd (postage Gd extra) at allchemists* and stores in this town, in-cluding : Fletcher':- "Pharmacy, TheGrand Pharmacy, U.K.tJ. Dispensary,—AdvU , ■

AGE OF YOUTHWHY THE WORLD LOVES A

LOVER.

I have seen it staled more than, oncethat tho whole : world loves a lover,writes John Blunt in tho "Daily Mail."If this is true, which I daresay it is,it is ..evidently ._ the principle "thatpeople, see in the -lover a picture oftheir own--.youth and cf their owndreams. In other words, the sight ofa lover, recreates for them the halcyonmemories of long ago. But from anearnest perusal of the papers I havecome to the-'conclusion, that if peopleare interested in lovers, they are stillmore interested in centenarians. Onecan hardly 'pick up a;:newspaper nowa-days without seeing the.picture of somevenerable old man or woman who hasreached the age of a hundred, and with-out reading' hints as to how other peopleniay achieve that distinction. If loversrecall our past to us—or what we, wishhad been- oiu- past—centenarians giveus hope-.about our future. It is■: not.that most people .want to live to be a,hundred, but. that liioat'normal peopleheartily dislike the thought, of death.To read of a ;uan reaching liis"'centuryis pleasing because .it. gives one a, feel-ing of victory over our common enemy,de-ath. Every centenarian is, as onemight say, -a national -asset..-who cheersup the spirits of the whole country.

People hate to bp reminded ol theirmortality, and that, I.think, is ono ofiKe- instinctive reasons. why, after acertain age, they dislike all the innova-tions of a younger generation.■■> Suchcluiuges bring home' to them the factthat they are growing old and thattheir day is past. In.the Same way onewill often find old .people,.clinging tobusiness and acting: as; though they hadperpetual youth. They' realise that re-tirement is_ the beginning of decline',and they,feel that if they break', withthe .custom of years their ihold on life

[.will be appreciably diininished. And.itis. this ' very desire not "even to contem-plate one's:..mortality that, ' perverselyenough," makes many people ignore the

lproper precautions which■-" middle-aecsuggests. They will,not'admit that theyare in any. way unequal to the tasks of

"BLACK HAND" IN IRAKATTEMPTED POLITICAL BLACK-'";■ MAIL. , .:The peculiar psychology of the under-

ground political excitement with whichBagdad has been permeated,for the pastthree'months had an additional illustra-.tion yesterday, . when an attempt wasmade by an ■ alleged member of .the"Black Hand" secret society to obtainmoney from a wealthy merchant bythreats, writes the Bagdad correspond-jout of "The Manchester Guardian," un-

|der date 10th July. The merchant, Mah-iinoud Shabandar Effendi, is one of thoIbest-known business men in Bagdad, andIis the owner of:a large importing and ex-porting business, as woll as of a consid-erable amount of real estate. He is, in-cidentally, the holder of v, concession tosupply Bagdad with electric power andtrams,, but the concession has been dis-puted on-tho' score of its-jive-war origin,and- it has never been brought into ef-lcctv,'..To tho British community he isbest known as the proprietor'or"one oftho mostfamous rose gardens to be foundin the vicinity of Bagdad.| .While sitting in hjs office yesterday,-morning he was surprised by the'entryof a- man in Arab dress, who announcedhimself as a, member "of the "BlackHand" society, and demanded innnedi-ately.the sum of Hs2ooo. "We are work-ing- for the independence of Irak," saidthe-.imui, "and you. and men like yo'iare doing- nothing.' But we are short ofmoney, and now you must help usi" Mult-nioud Effendi attempted to temporise,but the man .reiterated his demand, thistime allowing the nose of ii revolver toshow through the folds of his gown. For-tunately, a friond of.the merchant, whowas .on .the- point ;of entering ;tlie office,overheard the1 conversation, .and, sud-denly opening the door, jumped on theman's back and brought him to- the-ground. - Mahmoud Effendi immediatelywent to his assistance, and the man wasoverpowered and Jiauded over to the po-lice... ....

.A;L p.ecuhar feature of the.affair is thatthe ''khan" or'-'warehouse in which thooffice was situated was full of coolies andother workers at the time, but the as-sailant appears to have'entered and pass-ed through tlie courtyard, unchallenged.The. affair .would have no importancebut for 'the"suggestion of political com-plicity. The man's statement that the

attempt was made for political reasons isnot;.doubted. There is.no doubt that.thepolice here have completely failed to dis-cover the range of the. underground poli-tical societies, much.less to check theiractivities.'

"CHARTREUSE" CHINABEAUTIFUI, MOSAICS FROMTlilAJfA.

Most people know that chartreuse isa speciality of tho Carthusian monks,manufactured by them in their monas-teries in France, Italy, ov North Af-rica. And many are the travellers whohave sampled the liqueur in tiny ilasks,finding itmore or less to their taste, asthey lingered a. moment in the greatunderground "drogherja" of. that media-eval Jortrcss, now known as the Certosadi Val d'Ema, on the olive-clad slopesabove Florence. But what is less wellknown, . writes F. Eales in the "DailyChronicle," is that the Carthusians ar'onot only liqueur distillers, their nameis also associated with that special kindof china, -the wonderful "azuleios" orcoloured tiles of Seville. ,Ever since the-"u-iibs invaded Spain the manufacture ofthis pottery has nourished/ and Trianathe suburb of Seville, is as. much to-daythe haunt-of the potters as it was inthe days of Carmen. As soon as onelcrosses the bridge that leads to Triana,cmna, shops of all sorts meet the eye,lull of specimens of this Andalusian. spe-ciality. Four or five factories of "azu-lejos ' and china exist in Triana, but themost interesting is that in the old "Car-.tuja O£ Santa Maria, do las Cuevas.j his old fifteen-century Carthusian mon-astery has some superb sixlp-enth-centurytiles in its different chapels and church,y.nd/a most lovely courtyard in "mude-jar, , i.e., mingled Arab and Gothicarchitecture. All the walls of the chapelm this "claustrillo" had been coveredby the.-Carthusians with Urilliant "azu-Icjos," but, unfortunately, they havebeen stripped off and sold",-'to'.the detri-ment, of tho building, as may bo sup-posed. '..-.■.-.-■

In 1839 the "Cartuia" was secularised,but the "Fabrica do Prod.uctos Cera-micos" is still carried on by the heirsof that Englishman. Charles Piciunan,into whose hands the monastery . hadpassed. At-tho present time this fac-tory .supplies the peninsula and the Boiithot France with household china, and usestlie same graceful forms for jug or eweras in bygone days,' while, the designsused for. Moorish "azulejos'.' still decor-ate plates and dishes. ~

When the Carthusians first settled atTriana the potter made each "azulejos"of a different shape. and a different col-our, so that the tiles could be placed'onthe walls in such a fashion as to form apattern in veritable mosaic. Which man--ncr of proceedings is to (be seen inMorocco to-day. Nowadays tile "azule-jos" turned p.ut by the pottery worksafc TriVna/admirable ji's they are",, consistofsquares/on which are bits of patterns,in colour or in.relief. Henceforward thetask of the workman using these tilesis quite, easy..and.''straightforward. Hehas only to make the bits of pattern.'fol-kAv on, and his design becomes mech-anically correct.: But the beautiful orig-inality of the old artists is a thing oftil* past, and one is tempted to regretthe days of., Gaihtliusiaiis, whose"Cartuja" sheltered for a while thebones "of Christopher Columbus, in oneof their little chapels" gay with mostlovely-fourteenth-century "azulejos.1'

FASTEST IN THE WORLDBEATING NATURE FOR SPEED."Within the last few. years, man/ after

being . hopelessly --inferior since the begin-ning of time in the ipatter of speed tothe birds, beasts, and fishes, has, withthe aid of his mechanical inventions, out-stripped them all, and even in. the airis able to travel faster than the swiftestwinged birds. The aeroplane,- writesKenneth Dawson in the "Daily Mail,"'has shown that many birds arc not■nearly: so speedy as had been thought.Wild ducks and geese are not able toexceed a mile a-minute,-and the snipeand golden plover can: only beat this,by.about ten miles an hour. The fastestof British birds, the peregrine falcon,"'■flying -on the level, can reach 100ni.p.h., which speed can certainly bedoubled in the case of a headlong stoopfrom a height on:', to its quarry. Thespine-tailed swift, which breeds in themountains of North-eastern Asia, is thefastest bird in the world, being capable,it. is estimated, of about 200' m.p.h.But even this is a good deal less thanis possible with the .most modern aero-planes. The present record is held byan American Curtiss Navy Racer ma-chine, with a 500-h;p. engine, which hasattained a speed of 266m.p.h. Thiswas, of course, on\ a straight course,and as an aeroplane can ]f\i\-e at any-thing up to three times its maximumon the -level, this machine should becapable of well over 500 m.p.h. when so.doing. ■ ' 'On land, man, with the-aid of themotor-car, is again vastly superior to thefour-leggpd beasts. The present recordfor a mile with flying start at Brook-lands is justover 136 iii.p~.li.' Comparedwith this, the cheetah,"- or hunting', leo-pard of India, the fastest thing on legs,which is ablo for a short distance toreach 60 m.p.h., is a sluggard. : \

Even in the water, where man un-aided can swim no faster than some2^ miles an hour, he can, with the as-,sistance of the modern motor-boat, beatthe.fastest fishes. The tarpon's maxi-mum is believed to be about 80 m.p.h.,and this speed was slightly exceeded byMiss America 1., with her 900-h.p. en-gines, at-Detroit, in 1923. A later edi-tion of this motor-boat, with engine ofIUOO hrp., is reported to .have " increas-e-1 this to more than Bjs m.p.h.

BOTTLING BEERBENJAMIN KENTON THE FIRST; INVENTOR.

The memory of the man who first bot-tled beer successfully for export to allparts of tho world was honoured by theVintner's Company at. dinner recentlyat their hall, Thames street. In :'1 sol-emn silence "■ the company drank to" the immortal memory of our late bro-Uier aud benefactor, Benjamin Kcnton."Kcuton was master of the Vintner'sCompany in 1776, aud died a wealthyman in 1800. .lie started life as an ap-prentice: to an hotel-keeper at the ageof 15, and became a waiter' and beer-drawer at the Crown aud Magpietavern,Aldgate.

THE SUN COMPASS

AMUNDSEN'S POLAR GUIDE.When Captain Amundsen was getting

ready last year to fly across tho NorthPole, writes a correspondent of the"iUaiujhtstcr Guardian," a mishap to hisaeroplane necessitated an cley.cnth-hourpostponement of the axpedit-ion, and soprevented almost certain catastrophe;for though in every other respect he hadmade most careful preparations for hisvoyage of discovery, he had greatly un-derrated the peculiar-^ difficulties of aeri-al navigation in Polar regions. He hasto thank Captain Boykow, on the scien-tific staff of Messrs." C. P. Goerz, Jordrawing attention to these difficultiesand helping him to overcome -them.

-the airman in normal latitudes cangenerally find his way by the- ground be-low him, with the help of a good map.If clouds temporarily bar his outlook,his magnetic compass will at any mo-ment prove a safe emergency guide,though there is still a chance of errorthrough any oscillation imparted to thecompass dial by the acceleration of theaeroplane. But in the unmapped andunexplored Arctic regions to be tra-versed by Amundsen nothing but a sea-of compact and monotonous pack-ice isto bi; anticipated. Theairman must re-ly exclusively on his compass: And it isprecisely in the high Polar latitudes thatthe tompass becomes entirely-unreliable.The magnetic needle either performs vio-l.leul oscillations to left and right orgyrates rapidly on its' axis.The sun saves the situation. During'jthe song Polar day it remains at prac-tically constant .height above the horizon,■travelling, nearly horizontally round thesky onco every 24 hours. *The airmanneed only know tho local time ifi orderat any moment to be able to calculatethe correct angle- of his courseat themoment with regard to the sun. Only thecalculation is not such a simple matteras to be possible in actual practice.■ At the beginning o£ this year Mr.Hammer, Amundsen's friond and tra-velling companion, asked Captain Boy-kow whether an instrument to.'obviatethis calculation could be perfected bythe beginning of the summer. The replywas an-unhesitating "Certainly," andtwo days later a working model of a sunscompass was shown him._

The little instrument is of remarkablysimple- construction. It is-designed. tofollow the daily rotation of the sun, andin the case of a constant course to pro-ject an-image of the.sun at a fixed placeon a frosted glass plate. It is only abouteight inches high, and is fitted into theaeroplane in front of the pilot, who willadjust; the. lens before starting to thecourse actually desired and at the sametime will,set a clockwork,mechanism go-ing. He then has simply to keep theminiature- sun on tho frosted glass ac-curately on the cross lines to be sure ofkeeping his course. While the:sun movesaround the firmament; its miniature re-plica -remains fixed on the frosted glass.Only in the event of an occasionalchange of course necessitated by a sud-den gale or for spm'e other reason willthe lens'need adjustment.* >'■

LEADER OF A PARTYSOCIAL LIFE OF A PRIME: MINISTER. ' "A pleasant- little on tho

social "side"of polities'is suggested by thecharge being brought, against Mr. Ram-!say MacDonald, the present BritishPrime Minister in some 'quarters of mag-'nifying .tho.social aspect of his position,,of being too ready to mako orations atpublic dinners, and-of sometimes givingup to society time which might be betterspent in the House of Commons, declaresa correspondent of the "ManchesterGuardian." At the outset it must bedetermined whether we are to regard aLabour Premier as a man set apart. Awwe to say that rules which hold goodfor Premiers from other parties do notapply to a Labour Premier? There arethose of his own party who hold thaibelief, but it will hardly bear examin-ation ; a Prime Minister is somethingmorei than the leader'of a party. If weassume, then, that Mr. Ramsay Mac-Donald is governed generally by therules apply to his "office,- it comes to benoted that Prime Ministers generallyhave been diners-out. Public dinnerswere less frequent in the old days thannow,, but both Gladstone and Disraelidined out often, and talked (especiallyjGladstone) brilliantly, though it shouldbe added that neitherof them took Houseof Commons duties quite as lightly asMr. MacDonald, who might be described,as a follower.of Arthur Balfour m thatrespect.

_Cnmpbell-Bannerman was another "so- jcial" Primp. Minister, and so were both.'

Mr .Asquith and Mr. Lloyd George,while. Mr. Baldwin m his short term,spoke at a good .maiiy public dinners.Is it not generally true that we do liketo hear our Prime Ministers speaking atAcademy banquets, at City banquet,at Imperial banquets/ at dinners oflearned societies, and so forth?. Wo Jikeour Premiers to be "universal men." Wethink none the worse of Mr. MacDo-nald .when lib gets away from politicsand confesses himself a devotee of "col-our." We liked Baldwin on Worcester-shire cricket, Lloyd Gieorge presiding atmusical festivals, Balfour talking phil-osophy .(even if we did not understand|him), Asquith the Balliol scholar, and jso forth. . : ■

THE EMPIRE'S FUTURELOUD BALFOTJPv'S ADDRESS TO

STUDENTB.

The Earl of Balfour recently . ad-dressed the delegates at the ImperialConference of Students at the seat oftho Earl and Countess of Sandwich atHinchingbrooke. Tho castle for. threehundred yea.rs belonged to the Crom-■wellian family, and for ■ five hundredyears before that was a nunnery. Manykings and queens of England havefound shelter within its walls. Queen.Elizabeth occupied the royal apartmentsthere, and King Charles and KingJames also stayed there. The Earl ofSandwich said that the Earl of Balfourand himself stood upon the terrace, ofwhich Pepys wrote: "When the apart-ments of Hinchingbrooke are finished, Ifear me it will be very dark in thecloister." Horace Walpole and ThomasCarlyle frequently stayed here, and ifwas in this mansion that Lord Haldaneand Colonel House planned the visit ofLord Grey to America.

Lord Balfour observed that everyphase of English civilisation seemed tobe represented in the dwelling whichdominated their assembly, and surelythere could not be a better setting 'fora gathering which seemed to unite therepresentatives of the rising generationlii every region in which the BritishEmpire was embodied and British civilis-ation brought forth the best of its fruit.The younger generation, lie said, mustlearn the lesson of life for themselves,and would learn it better if they werenot lectured by people who were cer-tainly their elders, but who were by nomeans their betters. Ho -had always'claimed that the advantages of educa-tion were derived more from contem-poraries than from teachers.

He thought the.students of our univer-sities were well advised to organisethemselves together. He did not believethat the problems with which theywould havo to deal were going to boany easier than those which had facedthen; predecessors. There was one prob-lem...which deeply and profoundly con-cerned everyone—the problem*-of theBritish Empire. There had. been no ex-periment .ju history so novel, so diffi-cult, and so important as the . gradualmoulding of the future of the sister-States which made up that unique poli-tical fabric. . ....

A'great and most successful effort atEmpire building had been niade by ourbrothers in tho United States. He wasthe last man to under-rate the magni-ficent genius which presided over thelathers of the, American Constitution,and of their descendants who had madethat Constitution the success they allknew it to be. It w,as saying nothingagainst their marvellous political sagacityto suggest that the problem we of th»British Empire had to,face was a moredifficult problem than the one they hadso. successfully solved. They had g»>-graphy upon their side.The question we of the.British Empirehad to solve was how. under unique diffi-culties, .we could maintain, preserve,strengthen, that community, that loyaltyono to another, that sense of the com-mon interest, the common duties, thecommon privileges belonging to one greatJimpire.. . unassisted by those constitu-tional supports and framework whichthe men who founded the United Stateswere able to create—and created, as hethought, for all time. Who was to carryout thai, great and difficult task? Theresponsibility rested upon those whom hewas,addressing. ..- ■_

To those.who came from the Domin-'ions he would say it was their businessto keep alive the sense of a commonorigin and identical cilivisation, to feelthat everything which Tiad happened inthis small.island was their history Theirdescendants must be brought up in thetull, unbroken consciousness that theybelonged to that great community, theBritish Empire, which existed not mere-ly for Kself, for its own greatness orglory or power, but as an instrumentot peace, civilisation, and goodwill forthe whole of the world.

AN ARCH TRICKSTERANT LION DIGS -PIT TO TRAP

ITS PREY.

An arch trickster, in the form of apit-making ant.lion, has justbeen addedto the collection in the London Zoo in-sect house, writes A.E.H. in the "DailyChronicle." The newcomer has alreadyfashioned the conical sand pit character-istic of its species, but all that the plumplittle excavator shows of ■himself is hispair of mandibles .protruding from thosand at the bottom. .

It was with much, method and clever-ness that the pit was constructed. Firstof all, the ant lion—which is really thelarva of a 'four-winged insect resemblinga. dragon fly—strikes a circle in the sandby using its body as a kind of plough-share, afterwhich it proceeds to removethe sand within the boundary by turn-ing its head into a shovel, as it were.The saudis pushed, on to the back ofthe flattened head with one leg, andthen shot a\vay by a sudden jerk. Pro-ceeding thus, in ever narrowing anddeepening circles,-.the ant" lion at lengthproduces a pit of the shape of an invert-.cd cone. ' " .

Any insect which reaches the edge ofthe pit is doomed,' for the dry sandcrumbles away beneath. its feet and itslips, to the bottom, where the. ant lionis for ever on the alert.. Should the vic-tim attempt to .ascend the treacherousslope, a volley of sand comes hurtlin-'upon it from the shovel-head below"and it is quickly brought down '

..more money out of an artist's; woiksthan the artist himself and profit simi-larly by the collection of authors' manus-cripts and first aditions is told by a cor-'.respondent of the "Manchester Guardian"in reference to the death oE Mr. JohnQuinn.. lawyer and art collector, in NewYork. Mr. Quinn was a collector witha flair for important artists and authorsat a.time when their work was esteemedby the few. He was a political lawyerwith strong Irish sympathies, and dur-ing the Blaek-and-Xan troubles in Ire-land ho disposed.of most of his Englishpictures, greatly to his< own advantage..He sent, his Augustus John picturesback to England at that time, and asthey wero mostly of. John's earlier andFrench p.ericd, which is very scarce,high prices Were paid, and Mr. Quinnfound himself in the.unusual positionof eating his cake of patriotic emotionand having;it in enormous jjrofits.-

He was one of the very few connois-seurs with sufficient insight to buyEpstein's sculpture, and although theharvest for such purchases is onlynow maturing his-examples in the endare.sure to be as valuable as his Johns,He bought the chief" French Post-Impressionists long before they wer»established on the market, and hisMatisse collection is one of the best.: An artist friend who was in NewYork tells me that Quinn, in hiscurious flat in ;New York, had nearJvevery artist of the new school that onecould 'think of. My friend 'mentionedseveral new men whose fame he thoughtcould not have .crossed the Atlantic,but every time Quinn brought out fromsome obscure place a good example ofthe artist m question.. Another artistwho saw ■through all'- Quiiin's collectionsaid that he was one of the real enemiesof art_ of our time. Even his Cezannes,ho said, were in shocking conditionthrough neglect and bad storage, andif he had hated Post-Impressionism hecould not have done these pictures aworse service. 'He collected Conrad first editionsand manuscripts from the beginning.Last September lie «old his Conrad col-lection of thirty lots for about £22,0,00.He had purchased tho manuscripts fromConrad at moderate rates, and Mr. Con-rad had sent to Mr. Quinn a presenta-tion copy of, the first edition of eachbook as published. The great author, Iam told, was-under the impression thatMr. Qumn intended to present his Cou-rad library to tho State. Mr. Conradwas .in New. York siot long after: thesale, and he viewed with temperate en-thusiasm the enormous harvest that Mr.Quinn had reaped from his work. Thereare few authors who have made £22 000as the result of their labours, but .thisastute collector had only paid a fewthousand pounds for his investment', inOonrads, and I have never heard that hehad any idea of sharing his spoils withthe author.

PASSING OF GRETNAMUNITION TOWN FOR SALE.

The township of Gretna, which-was tohave been sold in July" last, if effortsmade to prevent the sale were: unsuccess-ful, was one of the most impressive: en-terprises of the war, states-an Englishcorrespondent. It was in September,1915, that the building of the great mu-nitions factory wasljegun in this roman-tic neighbourhood—was it not at GretnaGreen tliat the marriage was celebratedt.,., famous knight of the Bound■table, Sir Gawaine and the "loathlylady, who regained her lost beauty im-mediatelyafter the ceremony? InAugust1919, instructions were given, to ceaseproduction, and the great place was al-lowed to become derelict. When it wasin lull swing it was undoubtedly - thegreatest munitions factory in the worldand more than any other single under-taking it enabled the Allied armies tomaintain the- output of material thatwon the war. With its dependent town-"ships Gretna covered the greater part of9000 acres, and the- farm lands on whichit stood were cultivated almost to thedoors of the workshops. The work ofthe sickle and the sword went on side byside all through the war.The undertaking cost nearly £10,000----000 and everything that the workersmight have found m an average countytown was provided within its boundaries ■ihere were churches', a hospital, a postoffice two schools for the education of750 children, a picture theatre, and re-creation-rooms, as well as many otherconveniences, and 90 miles of 'railwaytor, the conveyance of materials. Durinn-the boom" period 13,000 of the 26 000persons employed in the making of muni-tions were housed "on the premises '"'and the other 13.,000 at Carlisle and An-nian Ihree years-ago a suggestion thatfound great favour was for tho founda-

■n °l * town of 50>000 "'habitants-.with the agricultural area incorporated"so as to allow for the full developmentof the garden city principle. That wouldhave been an ideally peaceful sequel tothe war activities of Gretna

CHILD BELL-RINGERSA SCENE AT ST. CLEMENT DANES

The old nursery-rhyme, " 'Oranges andlemons,' say the bells of St. Clemen's."was broadcast as it was runs out onOranges and Lemons Day, 31st March,by the bells o£ St. Clement Danes■Church in the Strand. London, says acorrespondent of the "Christian ScienceMonitor."^ More than that-the musicmade by the children within the churchwas broadcasted too., but the pretty pic-tureof the little bell-ringers waslostto the hsteners-in. Ten boys and -m-lsfrom six to eight years old/stood ineach, circle., holding a bell which Ihevrang when their turn came. Oue.chubby-faced boy of six broke into aproud .smite whenever he accomplishedHis part. Ihere were four circles ofthere might have been500, for every child attending thechurch school and the Sunday schoolwanted to-be a bell-ringer, they* ac-companied special children's hymns' writ-ten by tho rector and his wife, Jlr. andMrs. Fenningtou-Bicford.

The church was tilicd with childrennearly SOO, and' as they trooped out, toeach one was -given an orange and ;>lemon, a present from the Danish col-ony in London, to carry out an old cus-tom of tho parish. 'This custom undoubtedly arose from the association ofthe bells with Uiu old nursery .rhyme.Once every year the attendants in "Cle-ments Inn were wont to call on each ofthe residents of the chambers in the Innfind present them with oranges andlemons,expecting a gift in return. Therestoration of the famous bells in 1!J19with t-lio addition of Uie children'srhyme in the carillon, led to the veviv.-flo£ .the old custom.

Mr. Elation Best is ■probably 'the7,fore-most living authority on the Maori, ;and'this fine well-printed volume of 6ver;'fivehundred pages, with many illustrations,is.'sura of a hearty welconie'by thei(in-creasing number of -people who take aninterest in authentic records of the; cus-toms, institutions, and beliefs of the Na-tive race of New Zealand. The work isall the more timely arid important as thetendency of the Maori to become assimi-lated with the pakeha and to lose therebyhis "..racial- identity--and individuality isincreasing yearly. It would be quite im-possible,, for instance, to begin such an.inquiry into Maori cults and creeds withany hope of success among the youngergeneration of the race to-day 'who haveeither never learned or have forgottenthe yays^of their fathers. Happily, Mr.Elsdon Best had to deal with an earliergeneration who were not far removedfrom the days of TeBauparaha and thewarriors of the opening, half of the lastcentury. ■ " .. : .

The priceless data contained in whatthe author calls too.modestly "thissketch" of Maori life and its activitiesin pre-European _times are the fruit ofan almost life-long interest in the Maori.

BEGINNINGS OF INTEREST."In the distant 'seventies of the

last century (writes our author in hispreface with a touch ofautiobiography)when camped in the dark places of thehind, I began to take an interest inthe Maori, our predecessor in the islesof Aotearoa. As time: rolled oh.'thatinterest deepened, {'until the thoughtgrew that it would be well to notedown any matter of interest contribu-ted by our Native friends..' That re-solve has brought to me the keenestpleasures of a long life, and the shabbyold field note-books now serve as" amine in which I weary not of delving.. ■'." In many bush camps have thesenotes been collected, in the depths ofthe Forest of Tane, in Native huts,and in military encampments, in loneplaces'where: now'is heard the rushinglocomotive and the whirring motor-car.The comforts of life surround one hereby city streets, >but the graceless Bo-hemian mind wheels, regretfully backto the 6 x 8 tent, the far-spread forest;the brown-skinned friends, and the lifethat men live. E! Aku ra ki tua!" .

"A FASCINATING BOOK.It is not for the average reader to

'criticise a book like this. It serves tohim, in the words quoted of Mr. Bestand his field note-books, a-s a mine inwhich he wearies not .of delving. Mr.Best is the guide,1and.the reader followshim in full faith through the virgin,for-est of Maori.lore.; "The:'writer makes nopretence of.presenting a- scientific work,"ha says; ''but merely sends this sketchforth as the jottings of, a bush collec-tor./The'endeavour has been to maketlw picture' 61 /old-time Maori life "astrue and .faithfulva- one as possible. Itis no easy task to collect and record cor-rectly such ..data,, pertaining to a script-less people!-. .:.";Such are the author's'comments, in--his ...preface. . :-He may bereassured..- For' the ■average reader thisis a most, fascinating book, not neces-sarily to bo /read'.cpnsecutively, rightilirongli, but to/be. picked up again andagain, as one would wander in the bushgathering, specimens, dwelling here andtl'.ere as the: nipod'inclines.. . / /

The book, bp'ens with a chapter ori thephysical and mental ■ characteristics'■■ ofthe Maori, "showing the Melanesian influ-ence perhaps - derived from ■the inhabi-tants the Maoris'found when they ar-rivtd in this country.; Then-there is amost engrossing chapter on the Maori asa seafai-er and coloniser and the peoplingof New Zealand, introducing much newmatter to the ordinary reader. "'

OEAL;TRAI)ITIOiSrvThen follows a chapter on the tradi-

tional history of the Maori, showinghow the records-of the race were hand-ed down from generation to generationby word of mouth, with an account ofths/ Whare wanahga,. or school of learn-ing, which prescribed the methods ofsuch transmission of history. This is allexceedingly interesting as throwing alight on the extraordinary ingenuity of aneolithic race in preserving its- pastwithout the aid of the art of letters.

Tho description"of the cosmogony andnethropogeny of the Maori—his theoryas to the origin of the world and hisiiw-ii race; the mythology and folk-lore;UK; religious beliefs and practices of theMaori;, his superstitious regard formagic—all cover a fascinating field of re-search for the student of the evolutionof mankind. To the general reader theconcluding chapters on Social Customsand particularly Marriage' Customs willprobably appeal more" strongly as ex-plaining much that he actually seesabout him to-day. The whole book is■written in a simple, entertaining style,and the pleasure.of the reader is enhanc-ed by the printing "and general make-up of the book, which are excellent.

FOR. THE; SAVANT.Covering much the same field, but

more elaborately, "with special .referenceto the-, needs, of the scientific student, isMr. Best's larger work, published un-der the authority of the Dominion Mu-fieuin. Here .will be found much mater-ial not suitable for the general reader,but of great importance to the studentto whom in his pursuit of knowledge allfacts come under the head of data andto whom nothing is "common .or un-clean." Both works are monuments tothe life work o£ Mr. Elsdon Best araoni?tl.o Maori. They will rank as stand-ard authorities, quite indispensable' to all.in quest of knowledge of an exceedinglyinteresting race.. .- ■. .y .'.:.

Of a much more purely popular char-acter are the little volumes publishedIv, Messrs. Whitcombe and Tombs intheir well-known series of booklets dca!-.i&s \yy& New Zej4.aß4' Mr* Ajulersei.

tells, his "fine literary touch, five-Maori fairy folk-tales—"The Hill Fair-ies," "The Murmur of tho Shell," "TheWinning' of Boa," "Eat;i and his FairyCanoe," and "Tini-rau and His PetWhale." Mr. Cowan clothes the PortHills, .the playground .of Christchurch,with the vesture of "Maori myth gath-ered from .his long friendship with, theNatives of that romantic region.' Mr.Uowan has a happy faculty for winning,the confidence of the Maori and holdingt'.io interest of his readers iri the re-telling of tho tale he has heard. ;

TORYISM

"A History..of the Tory Party." ByMaurice Woods.^ London: Hodder-.and Stoughton, Ltd.■ .;."..; :. The full /title!,.,of . this work is: "A

history of-the Tory Party-'in. the sev-enteeth ijjuid eighteenth centuries, with.a. sketch'oi its development in-the nine-teenth century.'.' . i Mr. Woods has sethimself ;i great task in. endeavouring toproduce a work which will fittinglybearthis title. His reason is to present poli-tical history through Tory--j' and notthrough Whig spectacles. He specificallydisclaims, any accusation of partiality ormisrepresentation- against ■ thd great:Whig historians, such, as Lecky and

■Macaulay, but lie holds that they havebeen biased, not by intention or malice,

■but by an inability to grasp the Torystandpoint. Mr. Woods's ,"'. own work

'might well be pleaded as justification forthis shortcoming, if shortcoming it is;/for,he*himself is constantly faced withthe difficulty of maintaining the threadof Tory history anfl Tory tradition inthe fabric woven- by: changing circum-stances and ■ diverse personalities. Hedates Tory history from the civil com-motion caused in 1642 by the armedconflict between the Crown and the

I Commons. ' The Tories, as they emerg-ed from the Civil War, had one centralinspiration—the-Crown as the visiblesymbol of patriotic unity and religiousfaith. The difficulty of maintaining the'line of history is shown at even this

lpoint; for the Tories did not hesitatelater to dethrone the King when he-proved*a false . guardian of British in-stitutions. It is the same with,other

1ideals of ancient Tory faith. Though op-posed in foreign policy to European

1wars and entanglements, Toi-y Ministershave on at least three important occa-sions departed from this principle forreasons which they deemed sufficient.Mr. Woods says:— ■

Chatham induced them to fightabroad in order to create an Empire,George the Third in order to retainone, and Burke in order to give lawsto Europe.. ' . "On the personal, side there is even

greater difficulty in disentangling theTory .thread. :Again and again Mr:Woods is obliged to" explain of someleading light of,.Tory history, that hewas not wholly .-Tory—that.'Harley--washalf .Puritan at'heart, that''Chatham'sviews and policy defy completely the testwhich may be applied to other .men todecide their ■ party, that the youngerPitt's policy, while certainly not Whig,cannot be claimed as the natural ex-Eression of the Toryism of-his day. In

is analyses of the characters of theleading, men Mr.:.Woods is interesting,'though' his' work 'naturally ;suffers be-cause of its. composite character. Heis not writing pure biography, but mustturn aside from time to time to chron-;icle, events or examine policies' and is-sues.- Most interesting of, all, perhaps,is his examination of the record, of thegreat three,;"Harley, St. ..John',, and.Swift...' For the genius of St. John(Bolingbroke)' as displayed in his foun-dation work for , Toryism, he has agreat admiration; The two Pitts andDisraeli are others whom he holds upas exemplars in some great phase ofTory belief. It, must be admitted thatMr. Woods'3history is neither'so .valu-able nor so interesting as it.'would havebeen had the historian had in mind thepeople for whom he,was. writing. Forthe close student of political/historythe bookV might' well ' have' been: moredetailed.; for the average reader thethread is. liable to be lost'in the massof detail, v Mr. Woods assumes1 a know-ledge of political history' which/ is cer-I tainly deeper, than tho-average man oreven the average politician"possesses.In such a" little matter, for example, asthe names given to ; the'■" politicians—sometimes (,hey are guided; by .Common-ers, and sometimes by" 'their peeragetitles. ' ■ ";" ■/:. ..- ■ '.'■■"■ ""■'" i .

Criticism upon this point; does notapply to the.-most Valuable/arid--thought-,ful chapter: on the philosophy■■'of Tory-"ism. 'In New Zealand ."Tory" vhas be-come a term of reproach; principally,no doubt, .because the tenets have been'expounded :chiefly by the opponents ofthe creed ;: but partly also .because theexponents have left the true faith. Suchstatements as ai'e given by Mr. Woodsare necessary to, give'a tiuer view, "Ina word," writes Mr. Woods, "the his-torical method of -judgment is Tory,that of. a priori reasoning as/Radical."Mr.- Woods denies that Liberalism isthe party of change and Toryism, theparty of resistance to change., Ho;claims that while the Tories have beenready to chanse they have . alwayssought to justify change by circum-.stances or history, whereas-the Liberalshave set before them certain concep-tions, the fruit o! reason rather thanexperience,, and- if history. did not sup-port their arguments, then there, wassomething wrong with history! To thequestions: What is Toryism? . Whatpart does it play,in the life of the raceor;the nation? Mr. -Woods gives thefollowing answers : ''-..'-

In the moral sphere it is theclaim of duty, the recognition thateven liberty is not an abstract andunconditional rbht, l"t somethingonly to be gained and retained at thecost of self-sacrifice and at the priceof service, a gift, exercised under arigid and continuous self-control.

In the. historical sphere Toryism issomething more than a clinging tothe old ways modified by a realisationhow inevitable is change, or a deepreverence .for the past joined to ahigh..--hope for the future. It ia tholiving consciousness in the individual.of, his unity with the .State, and hisloyalty to his fellows, so that to thereal Tory airthe sons of England willbe in strict reality his brothers.

MARRIAGE FROM SEVERALANGLES

"Tho Marriage-craft." By \V. 11. SNicholson, i London: Ilichard Cob-den-Sanderson.

Marriage as-a social, institution \vouldappeal- »lo bo more debated !>y youngpeople,- especially young..writers of to-day, than ever .before in the history o[the human race,'certainly more than ;tdid some forty or "iifty years ago. whenit was taken for granted and left atthat. Mr. Nicholson, with ingenuity' anda. nice sense ut humour, i.i<u><":ived Iheiidea of setting -a party of utterly di^_

similar people, unmarried and married,all aboard one of those narrow canalbarges that make long "voyages" (ex-ceedingly pleasant in fine weather) be-tween London and the Midlands. Theparty join the craft at Kickmansworth,in Hertfordshire, and forthwith begindebating marriage in its various aspects,keeping it up to the end of the trip.The agenda paper prepared for the trip"was as follows:— "

"First day. The purpose of sex. Phy-sical reproduction? Mental creation?Spiritual development? Or all three.

."Second day. If for all three, can'they bo reconciled? If not all three,for which of them in preference to theother3, and- how is the object to beachieved.?.

"Third day.. Celibacy and marriage."Fourth day.: -Monogamy and poly-

gamy. ■■'-..-.."■■ :"Fifth ,day. Free marriage and freelove.

"Sixth day. The sacramental idea."Seventh day. The hope of trans-

mutation." .The talk is all- very interesting and

many-sided. It is cleverly reproduced.Incidentally, the interludes on the talksafford the writer opportunities for almostpoetical descriptions of the countrythrough which the barge passes in itssluggish progress. The serious .is skil-fully blended, with the humorous, .andthe result is-both diverting and instruc-tive. .... :' ;'"-. ..'■■ ■:■ , -.;■■

Rafael Sabatini, who has made famefor himself as-a novelist, is the son of anItalian father and an English mother.His mother taught him English and heearly showed great talent as a linguist,for by the time he was eighteen he hadmastered five languages. His parentssent him to England topursue a commer-cial career and for a few years he de-voted himself to business affairs. Thenho. began to write for -the magazines,and in 1902 published his first book. Itwas almost twenty years after he hadturned his attention to novels that hemadehis great success in'"Scaramouche."It is said that "Scaramouche" was declin-ed by seven publishers beforo it wasfinally accepted by the eighth. The fail-ure of costume novels had become asuperstition among publishers who triedto divert Sabatini from his chosen field.

In "The Truth at Last," Sir CharlesHawtrcy tells how he was persuaded totake the part in the burlesque of a seri-ous play in which he was appearing inLondon at the time: "It was a great,success-(he-Writes), all ex.cept the iden-tity. I did lose it, but not enough, forthe criticism in one of the daily papersthe next morning was to the effect that'the resemblance to Mr. Hawtrey wascertainly remarkable, and would havebeen more so had it not been for the pro-nounced American accent.' I can sym-pathise with Charlie Chaplin, who, onone occasion, found himself in a townwhere a competition was being held forthe best imitation of the Charlie Chaplinwalk. He entered as one of the candi-dates. But, alas! he only came outthirteenth on the list."

"Life"," the Australian illustrated poli-tical and literary and scientific maaa-zine for September, is full of interest-ing reading. It has an excellent ar-ticle "About "Those .Windsors," dealingwith the Royal Family, and showing whyit is so popular in England.. The wildblacks in, the Gulf Country'of NorthernQueensland is of topical interest, in viewof the fate of the passengers by theDouglas Mawson. "Man and Mysteryin Asia" (a serial), a sea story by "Bar-timeus," and sporting, scientific, liter-ary, and other articles of general inter-est, make up the liberal provision made'for readers of "Life." .

KEATS AT OXFORD

.INFLUENCE OF THE THAMES ON-HIS POETRY.

The president of Magdalen, Sir Her-bert Warren, speaking at All Souls' tothe Oxford branch of the English Asso-

ciation, gave several new, or little-known, details, concerning the short stayofKeats within the walls of the univer-sity, in the autumn of 1817, reports, anEnglish exchange. "His father was kill-ed in an accident while Keats was stillyoung, and when he was fourteen hisrtiother died, and his guardian took himaway and apprenticed him to a countrysurgeon. A little later he attached him-self to the hospital schools in London,but.in'lßl6 he decided to adopt litera-ture as his life's work. He was to en-joy only five years more of life—howshort a time. The first of these yearsof freedom, then, had much import-ance, and part of the first, the year1817, some five or six weeks were spentin Oxford. He lived the life of an un-dergraduate 'with his friond, Benjamin,Bailey,, in . Magdalen Hall. ' The Ox-'ford' of those days was the old unspoil-ed, miexpanded Oxford, before the rail-ways, and before the suburbs. It wasa.:garden" city, and the country ranright up to its grey walls. Time'andweather were propitious. It was a sin-gularly fine autumn. Keats describedhis life in his letters, and Bailey, yearsafter, gavea description of the poet him-self to his biographer,' Lord Houghton.Like undergraduates they spent themorning in work and the afternoon inwalking or on the river; like under-graduates they took their books with,them in their boat and read Words-worth in a nook they discovered in onept the side streams. ~ ' . .■ ' ' '"A French writer himself a poet, byname Angellier, had traced the influ-ence of the Thames on Keats's poetry.What was more certain was that.Baileygave him new,ideas of the scope andrange of poetry, especially impessingupon him the merits of.Wordsworth andMilton and, later, of Dante, and tliis in-,fluence appeared almost at once.

"While Keats was the guest of Baileyhe wrote the 'greater part of the thirdbook of 'Endymioh,' and in the fourth,liool?, begun directly after he left Ox-:ford, the well-known allusion to theItalian poets appeared. Bailey present-ed him with a copy of Cary's Dante, andthis h'n took with him on his journeyto Scotland in 1818; Bailey was read-ing ..with a view to taking orders, whiahhs shortly afterwards did, and hereagain his influence could be definitelytraced. Years after, writing.from Cey-lon, where he had become an archdea-con, he gavo to Lord Houghton the mostgiaphic and vivid description, perhaps,which remained of Keats. It wouldseem, too, that he introduced him toJpremy Taylor, and it was significantthat Jeremy Taylor was the authorwhom his friend Severn read to himwhen he was on his death bed in Rome.

"Yet another interesting record byBailey of his friend was to be found inthe 'Oxford Herald' of the . tiihfl.Amongst other things lie. recorded thevisit to Stratford-on-Avon, "which theymado together, and of which KeaCsspoke in :i jolter -describing somewhatInter his visit to the cottage of Burns."

THE NAME."I've decided on a name "for baby,"

said the young mother. "I shall call herEuphrosyne."

Her husband did not care for. the sug-gestion, but, being a tactful fellow, hewas far too wise to say so.

GARDENING NOTES(By '- Practical.")

The northerly winds are drying up theground nicely and .warming it up too,making it possible to cultivate in placeswherepreviously the ground was too wetand heavy to touch.

With seed sowing in full swing andplanting to be done, this is a very "busyseason in'the garden, but what season isnot a busy one? Per.sdna.Uy, I find eachseason as it comes brings an abundanceof work, sufficient in fact to satisfy thomost gluttonous of workers. At all sea-sons there is digging and weeding to bedone, and- wherii satisfactoryresults aredesired these must not be neglected.

Digging of all vacant plots should bedone now, whenever opportunity occurs,and.,while this is a simple enough opera-ation, there is a correct way, as with alltilings. Always start off with a trencha spit wide and a spit deep, and retainthe trench throughout the whole plot.The.soil from the first spit should be

'wheeled to! the far end of the section tobe dug, arid used to -fill in the lasttrench. Where the ground is full ofweeds skim off the top two ov threeinches deep and /place at. the "bottom ofthe trench, weed side down.- Such weedsas docks, sovrel, and couch grass shouldon no account be buried, as they invari-ably grow again.and fill the land withroots, causing endless labour later. Suchweeds should be very carefully removed,every piece of root being gathered up,and'burned. This is the only way toeradicate ;these troublesome pests. . Tosecure the greatest benefit from "thewarmth of. the suri, all ground-betweengrowing crops, especially rows of vege-tables, should be frequently, stirred withthe hoe. This can not be overdone, solongas the roots of the plants are notdis-turbed, and the benefit is incalculable. Ofcourse, it is not wise^to wqrk the groundwhen it is in a very wet condition, asthis lias a tendency to harden the sur-face, which, on heavy soils particularly,■becomes crusted, and, when the dry wea-'ther comes cracks and encourages evapor-ation, when all possible moisture is re-quired by the plants.

"IN."THE VEGETABLE GARDEN.The sowing of seed of all the following

vegetables should be pushed on with asoccasion offers, only sufficient of eachvariety .being sown to supply the needsof the household:—Peas, broad beans,carrots/ parsnips, turnips, spinach, andall kinds of saladings.

Spinach is a most -useful vegetable,which contains medicinal properties. It"irequires good soil, and as it must begrown quickly to be really satisfactory jthe plants must be kept moist. Seed ■should be sown at intervals of two orthree weeks to ensure a, succession of.young, tender growth. Sow in drills, in'good,-rich soil, dropping the seed thinlyto a depth of one-quarter of an inch, thedrills being from eight to twelve inchesapart. A fairly shady position suits this'crop.admirably.. In very dry spells spin-'ach is apt torun to seed quickly, so it iswise not to sow more than can be:used"within a few weeks, making further sow-ings as mentioned. ..■-..'

Peas and beans do not flourish in landwhich is deficient in lime. It is advis-able, therefore to sprinkle lime on theground and rake it in_ before sowing the.! seed. '.."'"'■' ,

Cabbages, lettuces, and cauliflowershould be planted as required. In somedistricts, particularly on the sea coast,and in dry situations, these crops 'veryoften get destroyed by. fly.c This troublemay be obviated to a large extent bydusting soot over the plants while theyare wet with dew. Soot is very acrid,and, consequently, distasteful to thepesta. This is also. a precaution againstthe ravages of slugs and snails. Kero-sene emulsion may also be used for thispurpose, but should only be used whileplants'are small, otherwise the taste willbe noticeable when the vegetables arecooked. Don't be in too great a hurry,to put in tomato plants or to.sow Frenchor butterbeans. No advantage is gainedby planting these vegetables tod early;in fact in most cases it is a dead loss.We invariably have a cold snap duringthis month, and these vegetables beingtropical plants, cannot stand cold roughweather. 'It is better to spend a littlemorp. time in the preparation of theground, and then when the tomatoplants are put out and the beans aredown they will come away without anycheck and more than make lip for thetime lost. Tomatoes do not requirevery rich soil,' and on no account ehouldthey be grown on wet soil. These plantsare subject to the same blight as pota-toes, and this disease-is encouraged andto some extent:caused by too muchmoisture, hence the prevalence of blightin wet seasons. Perfect drainage ia es-sential, and plenty of humus in the soil,but fresh stable manure should beavoided. --French and butter beans re-quire rich, deeply-worked soil with .anabundance of lime, like all leguminoussubjects, and if some wood ashes or

I ashes from a rubbish fire are available,they may be'-sprinkled in the- trenchbefore sowing" the seed.

SPRAY FOR FRUIT TREES.' ■As the buds turn pink on peach andnectarine trees spraying with "bordeaux,mixture should be carried out as a pre-ventative to ■ leaf-curl. Be sure tothoroughly wet every .part of the. tree1.Spraying should be done in calm weath-er and when-the trees are dry. Shouldrain occur before the spray has dried,another application should be -made, as'rain will wash the spray off if it. oc-curs before the. application has hadtime to-dry. This spraying should bedone before the flowers open, as soonas the buds show' colour.

THE FLOWER GARDEN. -As in the vegetable garden, so amongthe flowers there is plenty of work tokeep the gai'dener busy at this period:The warmth is. bringing along growthat a'great pace, and this means that theundesirable weeds are doing their ut-most to flower and seed before they aredestroyed. It is not only in the flowerborders that attention must be paid tothis matter, all gravel, or earth pathsproduce numberless seedling weeds, andthese should be- destroyed \by ;.hoeingbefore they have a chance to scattertheir seed. Untidy or neglected pathsentirely spoil the effect of.an otherwisebeautiful garden.. Annual weeds mayreadily be eradicated by frequent stir-rings with, the dutch, hoe, but wheresorrel or couch grass, or dandelions arepresent it is advisable to procure someweed-killer, taking care when applying "it to avoid putting it over the flowerbeds, as it is deadly to all vegetation.

Sowing of annuals should be. carriedon whenever possible. '-.During- dry >windy weather care must be taken thatthe seed beds do not.become- too dry.This is often the Cause of disappoint-ment, particularly with the finer seeds,which arc sown with,practically no. cov-ering. The tiny seedlings push throughthe surface all. right, hut the roots arswithered before they liava a chance toreach the moisture. Some light cover-ing, f.o prevent the ton rapid evapora-Linn of the. moisture,- .should be. sup-plied, and when necessary water giventhrough a, flue-rosed can.

Another cause o[ niisiitistHcton* re-sults with annuals which are sowndirect in the borders where they are to'flower is the neglect to thin- the seed-lings, out. It is almost impossible tosow the sued thinly enough, and whenthe seeds germinate iv almost all cases

plants are. muck too crowded. They

should be thinned out to at-least--four-inches apart, and a greater distance■would really be better.

Gladiolus conns may still be planted;in fact, if planted in succession fromAugust to November flowers may be- ob:tamed over-a very-long period. Theconns should bo planted irom three tofive inches deep', and for preference inclunips of one colour. The effect ofso planting them is much better thanthat obtained by planting single. connsor planting in straight rows. Plantin good soil, but do not apply fresh ma-nure on any account. If the soil is poormix in a small quantity of bone-dust orbone-meal at the rate of a handful tothe square yard; '

ALL BLACKS' TOUR

■Wellington's representative fixtures are asfollow:— . -, ISeptember 17—v. Southland, at Invercarglll. jSeptember 20—v. King Country, at Wellington.September 20—v. Canterbury, at Christchurch.

The;AH Blacks are to play the openingm'.atch of the big tour to-day, or earlyto-morrow. morning, ..according to New■Zealand time, and "The Post's" cablegiving -the result of the -first per-formance^—against Devoo—should be re-1ceived about 10"a.m. to-morrow. Thisis being awaited with, great interest,jthough it is not for one moment thought"that it will be anything but ne'w3 of suc-cess. The main question which is beingconsidered is:. How much will the All

f.Blacks win by? ' They have had goodtime; in which .to recover from the effects'of the long voyage, and those players

"-. ."who may 'have' shown staleness as, the■ result, of so much play early injtho pre-|sent-season should have freshened up bybow. , The latest report is that the teamis fit, and that.being the case, Devon will j_ probably be. in. for a strenuous time in■ holding; oat against the onslaughts of the

( fgreat invaders. Devon, will be handi-j capped in having to meet the All Blacks

frightat the start of the season atLHome,.I'andas theymay not have developed true; form, as yet, it seems -likely; that New."will start off with a, runawayyvictory. And this they will need to do,Iff they hope to repeat the.deeds of the<| original- All Blacks, who defeated Devon,- "by .55. points to~4 Whatever .the score

(:may be :.when. it.comes to hand to-mor-

' i low, it should provide an indication as"j-to whatthe All Blacks may be expected■J to do. in- laier matches. From the pro-I gramme, however, it sseems that, taking;a line through, last .season's form atj Home, some of harder matches will. '(have, to be played, one after, another,■'without relief by way of an easy game.This does not apply, all.through the pro-gramme, as.in some.cases the All .Blacks-"will- have a succession of matches injr'which the. opposition will be easy. The■hig event of the tour will, of course bethe-Test-with England, and bythat timetho English, .players should,be at the top. of their form. ; It is to be hoped thattheranks of the New Zealanders will notbe depleted through.'.injuries or othercauses during-the long "series of gamespreceding, the principal event. The re-port that the team arrived in England allfit and well, with,the exception of Jackbteel,..was verypleasing, and it was madeevenbetter when;the news came'that theinjury to Steel's aim was not as bad asat first stated.; :Por the whole torn-everybody,will-hope that nothing- willhappen.to; prevent the All Blacks fromgiving of their best in all matches.

"Drop-Kick" learns, how-'ever; from a good authority that thereis some doubt about the play at Homeleaching any higher standard than thatshown just after the war. : It: is point-ed

_out_ .that, last season's play wasmainly in the way of experimenting with

a view to finding talent to replace thatwhich had been lost by theretirement ofplayers who were reckoned to be indis-pensable to English' Rugby.' One auth-ority at Home states that "when the New/ealauders last sent a team over herein 1905 English Eugby received a rudereminder', that -ifi' had been allowedI:.' tolapse into a, very lethargic condition.

.Everyone has since recognised that theEnglish defeats- sustained during thetour did a great deal more good to thegame.in this country than any numberof victories, for they at once infusednew life '.and--new" methods into it. But.Ib is clear "that-half the' leasons that"were' learned have now been completelySorgotten, ]*ust as in cricket playershave forgotten-many of the lessonstaught by the Australians in 1921."-Experience in. England seems to be-somewhat similar to that in JNTew Zea-land, judgingfrom the following-extractfrom'Vn. article .which appeared in "TheField":—"We have every reason tolook for some material advancement inthe standard of play. . What are thesigns, .so far?" In; forward play theremay have been some progress, thoughlargely directed towards change of meth-ods, and the. trend of the game,has cer-tainly been, to become faster ; backs alsomay have learnt to give and take passesin a certain way better than they did :but,in the matter of tactical skill andreally scientific initiative, the' thines thr;tmatter, perhaps, most in modern Eugby,it is exceedingly doubtful whether thegame is being any better played nowthan it was. in,the.'.first season after thewar, let alone before it. . It might, ofcourse, be said that one reason for thisstate of affairs is that in the natural de-velopment of the game methods of playare gradually-altering and thai experi-ence, of the changing conditions' is- nec-essary before the-y can be pioperlv ex-ploited. .-To .some, extent, this may. bbtrue; but in practice cue need not"lookvery far to see that a more probableexplanation ■is . that in many.ways the

OPENING GAME WITH DEVON

RESULT EXPECTED TO-MORROW MORNING

the same-way as cricket has driftedsince the war. Take three-quarter backplay, for. instance. You may go to themost important match round Londonweek after week and frequently see theball passed beautifully along the lineof backs, and at the-end of it all 'notten yards of: ground has'been gained—often enough, indeed,, ground is lost in-stead. Or, again, you may repeatedlysee the stand-off'half-back, on receivingthe^ ball from the scrummage, start offobliquely across the ground in the di-rection of tho corner flag; his example"is followed naturally by the three-quar-ters, the touch line becomes the ob-jective instead of the goal line, and thedefenders are in clover,, better able tofollow their men and better able to tac-■kle them. : In each case the main ideaseems to be'to get rid of the ball asquickly as possible, especially if the op-|posing forwards happen to be a ratherquick-breaking lot. This, of course, isvery different from the old conceptionof baclc play and what passing shouldmean." ■ .' ■ ./ ' A GREAT RECORD.Taking- Rugby records over all the]years m whichthe game has. been play- Ied, those which stand to New Zealand's Icredit are greatest of all. To afford fol-lowers of the. game some idea of New

Zealand's great achievements at Rugby, jMr. I. Hyams, a well-known old-timerwho is still-as enthusiastic about Rugbyas ever ho was, has spent some of °hisleisure hours, in compiling a record of:the scoring-in matches since New Zea-land first came into touch with the out-side world ofRugby by contests on thefield of play. Mr. Hyams has been sothorough in his efforts that he is ableto give exactly.how all the points in allmatches to date (including. those of ■thepreliminary-tour of the 1924 All Blacks)were obtained. The record is a valuableone, and it: is of .particular interest atthe present time with' the All Blackscommencing their tour at Home. Thematches are classified in such a way asto-make the record speak for itself with-out the need oi. explanatory notes.

Of the Auckland-Wellington name atAthletic Park last Saturday there is nota groat deal that need be said. Themain facts about, the <Jame were giveniv "The Post" on Monday, and theywere to the effect that the Auckland fov-

I-wards v/ou; the duy. and-Unit AVoiliuK-I'-loirs-lJorfoniiLiuuo was disappointing, es-pecially as it-followed one—against Tura-imki—v/liidi gave promise o£ good thingscoming at last from Wellington's repre-jjg.ntatives. I.t,seemed to the writer that

Auckland had set out to beat Welling-ton in the forwards, and early in thegame they were given causa to believeithat their idea was a good one. It wasprobably on that account that the classof play expected of Aueklanders, whoare probably more conversant with thenew rule than any other players in theDominion, did not come to light. TheAuckland backs did not show up in com-bined play, but several of them render-ed excellent service in individual work,the most serviceable"of which was theuse of attacking!, lucks to support theforwards. These kicks usually differedfrom those often made by the local backsin that they wore executed"-in such away_aS] to be. of advantage. Too often,the Wellington backs by use of what liasbeen termed tho "silly" kick gave..pos-session of the ball to the other side, andthe visitors were not slow in showingthat they appreciated such gerietosity.The Wellington backs did not work well.For one thing they were well marked,and for another they failed to draw theopposition, with the result that theycrowded to . the touch-lines.. On th»other hand,' the visitors whenever pos-sible kept the.ball infield. Their for-wards, however, carried off the honours,but much credit for the success, whichshould have been by a far bigger mar-gin than one point, is duo to the cap-tain (K. Ifwersen), who saw the bestway to success and used it. Ifwerseu is,indeed, a brainy player. As a goal-kicker he has lost little o? his formergreatness. The goal which he kickedfrom near the touch-line and not farfrom the twenty-five yards mark wasevidence enough.

"This is the best forward team thatAuckland has put in the field this sea-son, remarked a keen Auckland sup-porter to the writer prior to the match."Ihe forwards are better than those whowent Jo Hawkes Bay.'. They are allworkers ; there are no> vampers." Thoopinion was supported by their plaj-, inwhich they not only showed strengthand energy,, but also displayed dash.They-packed moro solidly than Welling-ton, and kept a better control of theball. JIn the good play of the backs individu-ally Goodacre, Loft (who came on as anemergency), M'Manus, Kirwan, and If-werson were, perhaps, the leading lightsm the visitmg team. Goodacre was a

sound full-back, Loft a- dashy wing-three-quarter, Kirwan a solid, reliablecentre, or wing- three-quarter, andM'Manus a half-back who indicated thathe is a good, second to Wright. A re-arrangement of the back division in thesecond spell was advantageous. For Wel-lington Warwick filled the half-back po-sition creditably, Corner was solid,Johnson was not at his best, M'Kay waspatchy, Lang was off his game, thoughhandicapped in being crowded too much,Bedell was good, on defence, and Wal-ters was sound as full-back, clearingtrouble for Y/ellington on many occa-sions in the second spell.. From the -Auckland, forwards it -would!be difficult to pick out any for specialmention, though Palmer and -M'Lean (abrother of .the ex-All Black) often at-tracted notice for good".work. Pringlewas the best of the Wellington forwards,and Moffitt at. times caught the eye asprincipal in starting off an advance. Theothers went well against a- more solidpack, though one or two at times wereinclined to ease up. . .. .

OTAGO v. WELLINGTON.Contests between AVellington and

Otago date back to. 1877, when thesoutherners made their first visit toWellington, and inflicted- defeat uponthe local representatives. Two yeai-slater Wellington succeeded in turningthe tables, and with honours easy therewere no further matches between , theprovinces -until 1883, when Otago madeanother visit to'Wellington, only to meetthe same result'as in the match of 1879.It was not until 1896 that Otago and■Wellington met . annually, and fromthat time there have been some veryinteresting contests, with the scoring inmany cases very Woae. Altogether 29

.matches have been played, and of theseWellington. have won 15, obtaining thebiggest victory of the series last yearwhen, at" Athletic Park, they defeatedthe Southerners by 26 points to 6.Otago's total of wins is ten, and four ofthe matches have been drawn. . TheOtago team for to-day's match includesthe following players who took part inlast year's gaai&: Wise, Knox, IJuncan,Williams, and' Owen. Of the Welling-ton players who are now'on tour in thesouth only ope (Moffitt) was in the teamwhich defeated Otago last year.

■■WANGANUI-TB AUTE COLCeGE-MATCH. ,It has been the custom at the "WinterShow at Palmerston North. each yearto stage1 a_ Hugby match between col-lages, and in the past these games havebeen a- big attraction. 1 This year, how-ever, the arrangements for the ' "Wan-gamii Collegiate. School and the Te \\\te,College teams to meet at the ShowGrounds during .the-show' time fellthrough, and the match was played onanother ground. As the removal of the!match: from the Show Ground has

aroused some comment., the secretary ofthe .Manawatu and West Coast Agricul-tural and Pastoral Association (Mr. W.T. Penny) has forwarded a, " letter on.the subject to "The Tost." Tt, isstatad in the hitter that the membersof the 'association's committee havebeen accused of meanness, and it ispointed out that money, expenses,"trophies, etc., did not enter into the iquestion at all. "The sole reason forthe removal of the match from the"VVJntai' iShow;" t:.he Secretary (states,"was the dictum laid down by the newheadmaster of the Waii^anui' Collegiateh'chool, that the boys should.'7iot "jjlayon any grouml wliefe a- fjalo was taken.it cliil nut make any ililtereiice that, ad-!.mission was not charged Tor the match,but "was" charged- for admission to the|show. One of the original conditions

;_o£ tiie agrwrneut '.vaß thai M°. ad.niisgi.og'

fee was to be_ charged for the grandstand, and this condition was rigidlyadhered to throughout tho long seriesof matches. During Mr. Ernest Short'sterm o£ office as president he personallyoffered a silver cup or shield, valued atICO guineas, or a very expensive silkbanner, if they so desired, for competi-tion. The offer was rejected. ,It wasthe custom ior some years for the A.and P. Association to 'make a monetarygrant to: tho Games Fund of ' the Col-leges after the show, and, so far as theWanganui College was concerned, thiswas also rejected several years ago. Theassociation paid tho board of "the TeAute boys from the Tuesday to the.tnursday of the show week, and enter-tamed the Wanganui College staff andschool from the time of their arrival byspecial train until their" departure thesame afternoon. The arrangements al-iways satisfied, the principals of the twoschools, and those who have been cher-'lshmg opinions ■to the contrary shouldnow be satisfied that nothing the com-nnttee could do would have altered thedecision of the present principal of theWanganui Collegiate School."

■ ... FIFTH GRADE.Petone A are the winners of the localMtU-grade ■ ohampionship competitionwith an unbeaten record. Fifth-gradeteams from .Petone have put up veryfine performances in the pnat, and thisyeai-the club's A team has maintainedthe_ high standard of former teams. Intheir ranks are young players who inthe years to come will no doubt provethemselves to be worthy successors ofthose -Petone players who have gainedinternational honours. Oriental havoalso done well in this grade, having beenbeaten on only one occasion, and theynil the position ofrunners-up, two pointsahead of Wellington College A and Ptf-■?s;% During the season"Athletic andUid Boys havt^also registered good per-

ormances.' The keenness of competitionin the fifth-grade is well indicated by thenumber of matches which have beendrawn. Ml told, there were nine gamesm winch the competing teams had toaccept one point apiece. '.The championship table is as follows:

SIXTH GRADE.»r,Th? si h-f"de competition has beenended wit!^ the state of . the champion-ship interesting. Welling-ton College A and'St. Patrick's CollegeA have gone through the. competitionwithout a defeat, and when these two.earns met each other they were so wellmatched that a decision as to which wasthe better team could not be reached,the game ending in a draw. This parlticular match was. played as a curtain-rawer at. Athletic and those whosaw the boys in action obtained a "oodidea of what is being done for "theyounger players at the colleges. Theirtraining is on the right: lines, and =tshould not bo long before a number ofthose boys of the sixth-grade teams finda place^m the first fifteens of the col-leges. Other teams, although finding theA teams from the colleges rather toostrong for them, have performed credit-ably two suburban - teams, Petone andHutt, showing that, their clubs havebright prosjects for the future Wenthese boys advance to much highergrades. To the other clubs representedm the sixth grade credit is due for theinterest which is being taken in theboys, and the, boys themselves are tobo congratulated on the keen interestwhich they, are taking in the nationalgame Wellington College A and St.Patricks College A are bracketed aswinners of the sixth-grade : champion-ship. . r

SOCCER

IBY "VANQUARD")

The third Test match 'between Chinaand New Zealand, played at Dunedinlast Saturday, proved to be the decidingfixture of the series, as New Zealandwon. by five goals to three and thus■made their claim for the rubber beyonddispute. Played at Carisbrook, tb_egame attracted a crowd of about 10,000spectators inside the ground enclosureand also -a good number who viewedthe match'from "Scotchmen's Heights,"that well-known point of vantage justalongside . Carijs'brook. According tothe "Evening Star," the spectators weretreated to a good and at times brilliantexposition of the Soccer code, and they

"were not slow to show their approval.The game, particularly in the first spoil,was very fast. It was apparent, in thesecond spell that the New Zealand for-wards had adopted a, ca' canny policy(reports the "Star"). Their'play lack-ed th'*e-sting that marked it in the firstspell, and their shooting became, inmany cases, weak." The Chinese, on theother hand, with a deficit to "make up,lent more ginger to their play, andmany fine forward attempts were seen.Wu, who was injured in a formermatch, had not quite recovered, but"he played a great game, making manyfi*i openings. Chang, in'the centre-forward .position, also played well, andTing, the left-winger, was often bril-liant. The half-backs' were good, butat times they were inclined to kick atrifle too hard. The New Zealand van-guard scored two goals in the first fewminutes of the game, and things lookedpretty blue for the visitors, but theyplayed on undaunted. Anderson andM'Girr played well in the full-back po-sition, and Murray shone ' among thehalves. The three inside forwards, as-sisted ably by M'Doiigall and Howarth-tne two. wingers, played good-games.Ihe nnal score—s-3 in favour of NewZealand—is a pretty fair index of theteams merits. New Zealand owed itsvictory to the fine work of the forwardsparticularly in the first, spell, coupledwith an able defence by the backs. Bothteams, combined fairly well Thosewho scored for New Zealand were CookMj, Lothian (2), and Howarth (the left-winger). Ting, Chang, and Wu wereresponsible-for China's tally of threeInteresting comment on the match isT b5 £?ra Knddiman, an ex-Aber-deen and Glasgow Rangers player, in aspecial article contributed to theDunedin "Star," summing up thematch, Ruddiman remarks; "The -Won the whole, was a very fast -nfc? in-nrmrl? drPl?f' imd ilHhe halfm-particular there was not one weakspot -m the New Zealand team Theforwards were well backed up by thehalves and the close ground passfug' ofthe whole brigade was a most pleasingfeature. China in my opinion, werereally outclassed on the day's play, butthey did not seem to be able to adaptthemselves to the ground conditions.Ihoy had weaknesses here and there,and after Wednesday's display I lookedfor better things from Chan. Liang,Jap, and Chang. The'full-backs failedto coyer up, and the halves were oftenout of position. The forwards were toomuch given to working well into goalbefore shooting, and many finechances of testing GwiUiam were notmade use of. Wu deserves every creditfor-his plucky display, and his were thebrains that led'up to two of the Chin-ese goals. Chang, Ting, and Wu arevery, deft at hooking, the ball with eitherj' j I>ao did not nisPil'e confidence,and did not give the feeling of securitythat Gwilliam did. He played a safegame, and fielded the ball well. Ander-

son and M'Girr made an ideal pair ofbacks; Murray was the best half; and,although the-whole forward line of theAll Blacks was excellent, I have' yetto see better inside forward play herethan that shown by Lothian, Cook andMl'Elljgott. jThe 'tViangular 'comKfra-won of Murray, Lothian, and Howarthwas worth going a long way to see, be-ing the finest feature in the game."

A correspondent writes: '"The asheshave again been won by New Zealand,and the remaining Tests with China willstill be full of interest, although theresults can make no difference. It iscertain that.China, will be keen to-winat least one Test, and I would liko tosuggest that i£ a- match is played inWellington the game" should bo a trueNow Zealand v. China contest. We haveiiad four teams selected this season torepresent New Zealand, but there ha\eDeeu very few New Zealanders selected.We have always had our representa-tive teams in the past mostly composedof Scots, Englishmen, and Irishmen, and'labelled them New Zealanders. At Homea man can only play for the country ofhis birth, and in the years to come the-same thing will no doubt apply here.T here need be no fear of getting a first-class team of native-born players to-gether, and I think it. would be ve-yencouraging to the players in the juniorgrades if such a team were selected1 am not in touch with the players incUier centres, or, rather, their nation-ality, but a few of the local ones thatcome to mind would, form the nucleusoi a strong team.

THE" THIRD TEST

LOCAL SCHOOLBOYS' TOUR

NOTES AND COMMENTS

church the Wellington boys were joinedby the Canterbury representatives. Theywere met at Duuediu by the officials ofthe O.F.A. and schools' representatives,together with the numerous hosts whokindly provided homes for them duringtheir stay in Dunedin.

Wednesday morning saw the team atpractice on the Oval for an hour, and inthe afternoon they witnessed the firstmatch of the tournament, Otago v. Can-terbury, as well as the Chinese Univers-ity v. Otago fixture. The Otago boysijad^ the advantage of weight and speedagainst any of their opponents, and itwas soon evident that Canterbury hadlittle chance of lowering their colours.By the time half tho first spell hadended Otago had notched 4 goals. Can-terbury rallied, and after vigorous efforteucceedsd in netting 2 goals. The secondspell was more even, the Canterburyteam playing with more vim and dash,but nevertheless were altogether out-matched, the Otago team securing twomore_ goals before tho game ended, thuswinning the first game of the tourna-ment in a somewhat easy manner by 6goals to 2.

The second game, Canterbury v. Wel-lington, took place on the "Oval onThursday. The weather conditions wereperfect, and there was a good crowd ofspectators. Wellington opened in briskfashion, and in five or'six minutes hadsecured two goals, Cotton netting theball on both occasions. Under-estimatingthe real worth of their opponents, theWellington boys then took things some-what easily, and Canterbury succeededin notching a goal. Cotton retaliatedwith another goal, making the score 3-1iv Wellington's favour at the end of thefirst, spell. With two goals to spare,Wellington continued to take matterssomewhat easy, and for the greater part',of the second spell Canterbury had de-cidedly the best of the game, and suc-ceeded in adding another goal to theircredit. Wellington seemed content witha lead of one goal, and, although Can-terbury's attack was somewhat determ-ined, the defence of the Black and Goldwas too sound, and the game ended ina- win for Wellington by 3 goals to 2.

The third and final match of the tour-nament took place on Carisbrook Groundbetween the victors over Canterbury—"Otago and Wellington. The game, un-fortunately, was played throughout' ina regular downpour of rain. The heavyground and greasy ball were factors infavour of Otago, who were much thel'eavier team, but, although Wellingtonlacked weight, they made, up for it inskill, and the boys played the "gameof their lives." Before entering thefield of play they were impressed withthe idea that it did not matter whoscored as long as the team scored. Eightv. ell did the boys carry out their in-structions, and from the dick oft Otagoior once found they were up against astiff proposition. Although the condi-tions did not favour brilliant football,yet the combination of the Wellingtonforwards told against the weight ofOtago, and when half-time bell rang the.score was Wellington 2, Otago 0. Thesecond, spell was a determined fight onthe part of Otago to stave off defeat.Wycliffe, in goal, was the hero of thematch, and was easily the best " goalie"in the. tournament. Otago eventuallysucceeded in netting a goal,' making the'bcore 2-1 in "Wellington's favour. Give-,and-take play followed, and right oncall of time for an accidental infringe-ment near the corner a penalty kickv-as awarded Otago. Against a blindingrain Wycliffe had little chance of saving,and amid, the loud cheers of Otago's sup-porters Addison's drive found the net,and thus a defeat was averted.

The Otago papers gave Upchurch theciedifc of the infringement which lost thematch to Wellington. Upchurch, thesmallest boy in the team, is exceed-ingly hurt, and in fairness to him it isonly right, to say he was nowhere nearthe ball whsn the penalty .was given.The culprit* was Clementson, who wasImuch nearer the corner than the pen- ialty was' when the .purely accidental!breach took place. Thus the game andtournament conluded with honours equalbetween Otago and Wellington. ,TheDunedin papers were loud in their praiseoi the- Otago representatives, remarkingthat the Otago boys have a- proud recordin the competitions, having always wonthe premiership. This is rather mislead-ing. Although not defeated, they werecompelled last year as well as this yearat Christchurcli to divide the honourswith Wellington., each team having awin and a draw to its credit.

Result of matches were as follows:—/ P-> W. L. D. C.'jp.Otago 2 1 — 1 3Wellington. ... 2 1 l 3Canterbury ... 2 " — 2 0

A GENTLE REBUKE.A gentle rebuke from South Africa-!The following letter has, been received

in Sydney from an enthusiast, in Cape-town : "The Soccer people in this coun-try have recently enjoyed a joke. A"byclney club wrote to the South Afri-can Football Association suggesting- thatthey should be invited to tour "SouthAfrica. If the suggestion had comethrough the Commonwealth Football As-sociation there would have been somedignity about it. It is realised herethat Soccer in Australia is making tve-'mendous headway as far as popularityis concerned, but the Australian play-ers have not yet met real class foot-ballers. They will know howthey stand111 the Soccer world when the Englishteam visits them next year.

Trewick showedgood .judgment in coming out of goal tomeet breakaways by his opponents andwas never at fault.. At. the conclusion,with the scores level,.the teams appearedto prepare to play extra time, and thena general discussion took place on theheld.

Individually, also,in the second spell, the punch fell offparticularly in the forward Jine. Thedefence was lively enough; it had to

be,, for Thistle halves and forwards wereout for business right to the whistle."Apparently the win on the penalty goalkicked by Logan when Bowyers pulledup Boadle to the dissatisfaction of thoreieree didnot satisfy them.That casual feeling could not be as-cribed to Brosnan by any stretch, ofimagination. Either he possesses a.

wondrous tough skin or an unlimitedsupply of good luck, for he risked andcame through tackles on Saturday thatwould have spelt ambulance for mostother players; not that his game is tookeen towards the other fellow, but thathe goes in and gets it with apparentlyunbounded faith in his tough hide, orgood luck. I would like to think ithathe will get through indefinitely withoutcrashing, but lam afraid not. His wasquite the most vigorous and interestinggame on the field.

Campbell had an easy afternoon of it,for him, not having any great amountto do with the ball, probably as a re-sult of the disorganisation of the forwardline, and, when his chances did comealong, he was watched and blocked inevery attempt at goal by Taylor andWetherspoon. He did not get his goalon Saturday.

Holt^took up a new position, at rightback, as partner to Bowyers, and thereplayed a very sound game; a placegame, moreover, which must, surelyhave: been somewhat of a trial to an oldfront-line war-horse.

That basketball effect provided by awing man pleased the spectators im-mensely ; the ■ referee was, however, aman.of little humour.

Both goalkeepers had fair afternoons,but Tarrant had to move more quicklyand more often than did-Ewing. Severalof Tarrant's saves were particularlybright, a couple of "certainties" goingover the bar just 011 time.

The Thistle .front line, Smith, Boadle,Pearce, Logan, and Crundwell, playedgood football, particularly so the leftwingers, the play leading up to Pearce'sgoal, left wing to right, and ' a goodcentre, being ' typical, and in this in-stance deceiving Tarrant badly. Crund-well plays on as he has always played,with any amount of dash and go, "butsomehow his game in a blue jersey doesnot seem to have the finish which heshowed under the black.

If for no other reason than that theyput pep into their play, which YoungMen -did not, generally speaking, Thistledeserve their win.

R. Hone demonstrated on Saturdaythat it is not the tools that make theman by playing for Waterside in longI pants and canvas deck shoes. Ho was i

ihurriedly ■pressed into service, and, be-ing quite unprepared, pulled on a jerseyand took the field, playing a great gameat full-back. .. Half-way through thegame Ueno lost a large portion'of oneshoe, but it seemed to make little dif-ference to his play, although he receivedsome good-humoured banter from thebus.

pionships, at HamiltoaOctober fi-B—Miramar Ladies' Open Tourna-

ment.

■ Well, the New Zealand open cham-pionship is over for another year, anda fairly disappointing engagement ithas proved. It was generally believedthat "Ernie" Moss, knowing every fea-ture of the links to which he has beenattached for some five years, wouldprove a very hard proposition, and.suchhe did prove by his magnificent recov-ery, after the set-back his prospects gotby the record-breaking -round of A. D.S. Duncan in the opening round. Mossimmediately settled down to steady goli,played three rounds in three. strokesover par, and won the title handsomely,mainly because of euper'j work on thegreens with his mid-iron, while nearlyall the other competitors were trying todrive their approach putts up with aputter. Moss gave a splendid displayin no way disappointing. He has beenknocking at the championship door forsome time. He learnt his golf in Aus-tralia, and came to Middlemore a fewyears ago.' Three years ago, at Shir-ley, ho was runner-up to Douglas in theopen and professional championships,and last year he won the professionalchampionship at Wanganui, though hewas only twelfth in the open champion-ship. He is twenty-seven years ol

But what of the others? Duncanwas runner-up mainly because of hissplendid eeventy-one in. the opening jround, by which he also established the jcourse record, and won the Lord Jelli-coe Cup. The luck was certainly withmm in'that round. Fate meant thathe should be the first with his name onthe new cup, and he deserved it if onlytor his long and brilliant career- in■ w fealfnd Solf- Everything wentnght tor him, and his round could eas-ily, have been several strokes more.However, rfc: was not, and luck breaksmiT-6^ S°lf- He did 110t havemuch m the second round that day ' iThen came J.

Vl^*The invariable' explanation was thatthe strokes had been, missed on thegreens Three putts to-a green appear-ed to have been much more usual thaatwo. Some of the players blamed them-selves,. but a large percentage blamedthe greens. 'Prior to the event thegreens were cut fairly close and werevery fast, but the conditions in thechampionship were quite different Thegreens were allowed to get a fair growthand in one case the green was like ayoung paddock. Though most of thegreens Were cut on the day before theevent started they were not touched

again until it was over, while anotherdeparture from the usual was that thepins were not changed for the secondday. The net result, as far as I canmake out, was this: There was toomuch turf on the green, and it got un-even and tufty; pair after pair trampedround the holes and leaned over themto pick out their balls, tramping downthe tun a foot away from the holes,and leaving that, immediately round theholes undisturbed. The result was thatno putt over a foot away was "dead "A ten-foot putt had to have justenough speed to reach the hples, or itjumped right over and never even hitthe back. The chances were more thaneven that if a ball was a fraction offthe line it rolled away when its momen-tum was diminishing, and the bold put-ter was very often left wit], a putt stillpresenting- difficulties. Still, a putt hadto be hit firmly or, on many greens, .itdid not carry the clover which abounded.I ir.n- only mentioning these matters forwhat they are worth, as the opinions ofthe many who failed so woefully on the jgreens. Some of them very much ques-tioned whether the holes' had beenpadded down when the new hole wascut, and it is fairly safe to say that inIfuture years'the remark will "be, "Oh,yes. That was nt Middlemore, the-year the greens were faked to stop 70being broken." I will say that theholes were placed in the 'most difficultpositions that could be found on thegreens, and penalised the bold playercut for a. score and helped the canny-player.

actual management of the tournament,which was splendidly handled by Mr A.X M. Bhind, the secretary of the Auck-land Club. He, as a matter of fact hadnothing to do with laying out the holes,except when they were changed aftertho open was over, and when theywere in much fairer positions oil thegreens. The actual running of thetournament was excellent. The facili-ties at tha club are designed to me»tevery requirement, and everything wentby clockwork. The whole trouble about'the desperate scoring on the greens—andmany a player'had as many strokes onthe greens as he had anywhere else-was that, the.. conditions were differentto when, this was practice. Moss knewthe greens,- and he knew just how; tojuse an iron for his approach putts, "andthat won him the championship. Mostof the others tried to do it all with'" a.putter. The whole trouble really wasthat on the very large and lioldin"-greens long approach putts could hotbe.laid dead and players lost their chanceby sticking to their putters.No championship passes without someoutstanding events at various holes, andthe best ball for the tournament leavespar at Middlemore looking almost ridi-culous. This was largely owing to thetwo remarkable twos gained by Tarehaand Macfarlane at the 16th and" 17th re-spectively, holes nearly 400 yards lon-.Four of the holes on the second halfwere done in two and one on the first,and as far as I can make but the bestball recorded during the open was asfollows:— .-.-'■.

Out: 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 3 4—27In: 2 3323223 3—23. 'Such a concerted attack by the lead-

ing players left the poor old colonel ina very sorry plight..' " ■Space does not permit of a detailedaccount of more than a few of the out- "standing events. As usual, Kapi Tare-ha was noted for his long driving buthe did not appeal1 to be getting the*tremendous length of some of his shotsat Wanganui last year. The best drivesactually recorded ranged between -287and 300 yards—not that we can takethese cheaply. They are the sort ofdrives one hopes to achieve once: in a,lbetuue; perhaps .one - day when our;timing is—accidentally, no doubt—per-fect, and the fairway'is very very hardwith a down-lull run for-preference. Itis_ recorded that Tareha got under onewith a hook^ and that it landed in thefourth fairway from the one he wasplaying. One of his partners remarked,"I was playing my second when itcame down." ■ .

Monkish and 0. J. AVilson (Welling-ton) had two of the outstanding! shotsto their credit. M'lutosh at one holefound his ball hard up against a bank.He played a perfect shot, the ball land-ing on the green, but the head of hisjmashie went one way, part of the shaftlanded in a creek, and he was left withthe grip in his hands. Wilson'came upto his ball to find it lying on a flat pieceof wood.about 4 inches by 4 inches.After looking it over he decided to pitchthe lot, and remarkable torelate he land-led both the-wood and ball on the greenfrom a fair mashie shot away.

GENERAL NOTES.The British team of amateurs to con-tend for the.- Walker international

trophy at Garden City, U.S.A., on 12thand 13th September, has been selected.It- will be ' generally regretted that■neither Ernest Holderness, the present..British amateur champion and title hold-er in 1922, nor Roger Wethered, lastyear's champion, and considered thebest' amateur on the other side of theAtlantic, will be unable to make thetrip. The British team will be: CyrilJ. H. Tolley, captain; 0. C. Bristowe,Major C. 0. Hezlet, W. L. Hope, D.H. Kyle, W. A. Murray, Robert Scott,Hon. Michael Scott, E. F. Storey, andT. A. Torrance. Five of the team areScotch golfers, four English, and MajorEezlet is the Irish champion.

Ike killing of a'cat by Mike Crete'sdriven ball at the .Woodbridge GolfClub near Lodi is unprecedented. Rali-bits, 'birds, gophers, and even weasels'have often >met a similar fate, and sev-eral authenticated instances of fish be-ing killed by a golf ball are on record.'The nearest approach to the Lodi epi-sode- occuiTed in Australia, at the- RoyalMelbourne Club. A player was drivingwith an iron club when a kitten, -whichhad been playing in the long grass,sprang suddenly at the ball. Kitten andclub arrived at the ball simultaneously,with the result that the kitten tookan unexpected flight through the air,landing some twenty yards from thetee. The ultimate end of the kitten !snot recorded.

A man may be a fine player yet apoor golfer. But however poor a playera man may be, he can be a good golferas long as he understands, aad is faith-ful to the spirit of the game. On thesubject an American secretary pastedthe following notice on the board, and i.tcan be applied almost anywhere: "Oneof the greatest accomplishments 'of agolfer, aside from making a good score,

lis to play the game according" to rulesjand ■to. observe. the delicate custom ofpoliteness on the links. There is ai growing feeling among many enthusi-asts that standards of golf etiquette andi,the observance of correct rules is farbelow what it should be. It is not at allinopportune to appeal to the generalmembership of oiu- club to check uponthemselves just where they stand in re-gard to rules observance 'and etiquetteon the course."

We hear much about birdies andeagles, but little Mrs. J. L. Mesple hadthe unique distinction of getting a birdioand a snake on a Californian course.A Mrs. Mesple -was playing with "Mrs!H. 0. Moss, and on the long fourth holea birdie four was placed to her credit.Stooping to pick, her ball from the cup,she was greeted by a. snake ready toshake hands-vvith her. He was in thecup, neatly wrapped siromid the pin.

' This afternoon, if the weather has heldfair, the local senior competition will'have been decided. Hutt A, who lead-by one point, are meeting Karori in.thofinal series, and whether or notthe Reds carry off the championshipdepends largely upon the result of thematch. Wellington may be defeated byWesley, though it. is not likely, and inthat case Hutt A will still be in thelead. With the championship almost intheir grasp, Hutt A are certain to puttip a good struggle, and should, withany luck, or rather skill, come out ontop. .. _ - - .

CANTERBURY RETAIN THE■ ; SHIELD.After their defeat by_ Canterbury A.last week in the opening game of the

Shield ' Tournament at Christchurch,Wellington picked up considerably, andin the matches against Auckland aridCanterbury B displayed very muchsuperior skill' which' enabled them : towin. The chances were very even, thathad the ground been at all smooth andfhst, their defeat of the Auckland play-er- would have been overthrown. In re-gard to the game, the Ghristchurch""Sun" has the following: Auckland hadmuch the better of the opening, stagesof. the game, and were attacking for thegreater portion of the . first half. TheAuckland forwards attempted fancystick play, but the-fast,- bumpy groundmade this difficult.: Wellington was thefirst to score, when N. R. Jacobsen glid-ed the ball into the net with a-splendidstroke. Auckland ■" soon retaliated, R.Carter being successful in finding thenet. . The score was.one-all at half-time.Auckland had had much the better ofthe play, and was unlucky in not havinga lead on the scoring-sheet. Wellingtonshowed a great improvement in thesecond half. There was superior' finishir the circle, and to this the side owedits win. Auckland was the first tostore in the second half, J. Carter find-ing- the net with a good shot. At thisstage of the match it looked as thoughAuckland would have acomfortable win.Then the two "old-stagers" in the Wel-lington forwards, N. R. Jacobsen and'Kiwi Perrin, came to light with someMagnificent play.' Perrin dribbled■!through and scored an equalising goal.Almost immediately S. Lundon put Wel-lington in the. lead again with a greatangle shot, and V. Webster scored thefourth goal. Wellington won the matchby_ four goals to two.- Wellington ob-tained its win mainly through the clevershort! passing, combined work of -the'three inside forwards, Perrin, Webster,and Jacobsen. The halves, Joblin,Spiers, and Thorpe, all played well, giv-ing good support to the forwards. Boththe back's, Mart-is and Martini weresound pn. defence. T. Guy played a fair jgame in goal., :. . .'-. |

■WELLINGTON'S SECOND[VICTORY.

Go_od, solid hockey was -witnessed inthe B match- infinal round, from which WellingtonEventually emerged the victors. Al-

though play was carried on at a veryfast rate throughout the first spell;there was no score by half-time, and the15 players were fully justifying their■supporters' faith in them. ■ Wellingtonput in some excellent work__,in an en-deavour to avert a draw, ariS good tac-tics enabled Webster and Jacobsen toget through. Canterbury were unable toscore in spite of strenuous efforts. Thefinal score read: Wellington 2, Canter-bury B 0. Guy, in goal for .-Welling-■

"ten, played a great game, in contrast tohis. display against Auckland, and savedmany hot shots. ■ Martis and H. Martin,in full-back position, "were good on de-fence, but the former was too prone tofined the line at the slightest excuse.The half-line, consisting of Joblin,Spiers, and Thorpe, played fairly well,but the real strength of the team wasiv tho three forwards, Perrin, Webster,and Jacobsen. According to the "Sun,"the wing-forwards, Armstrong and Luri-don, were not prominent.

4 CANTERBURY A WIN THREEMATCHES.. ■-,".-.'

In the meantime the Canterbury A'players gained the decision over theR men,, and everything now dependedon the result of the former team's gamswith Auckland. This was perhaps thebrightest game of the tournament andgreat interest was displayed. Play op-ened at a fast rate, both sides showingsplendid stick-work. Neither team hadthe advantage for a while, then H. Bell,one of the most forceful players in theCanterbury combination, twisted hisknee and had to be- carried off His losswas. keenly felt by .the forward line,and_ Auckland was allowed an ■oppor-tunity to score, of which, they readilyavailed themselves. Canterbury made agieat effort, and were successful inequalising shortly afterwards. Fierceplay followod until half-time, with ,nofurther score. Stan Bell got through forthe southern citysoon after the resump-tion of play, and the Canterbury teammaintained the lead until the conclusionct the game. Both sides were over-eagerand frequently overran.the ball when agood chance of scoring was presented.aii winning the match, Canterbury Acreated a record in that they won allthree of their games with admittedlygood teams to beat. Incidentally theysecured possession of the shield foranother year. ; " '..-..-- following table shows the posi-tions of teams at the conclusion of thetournament:—

Undoubtedly Canterbury A was thebest and most consistent team in thetournament, although the failure of theirforwards to reproduce their recent clubform gave local supporters of the gamesome anxious moments, remarks' thobun. Wellington did well to obtainsecond place, as the team was unfortun-ate in having to play Canterbury- A inthe first round, before the visitors hadarranged a good working, combination,or had got the "strength" of the newground. Although the Auckland playersgave good exhibitions, they had to' becontent with third place. The teamgave glimpses of clever stick play andundoubtedly would have done letter ona true playing surface.. Lack of finishin the circle lost the team two matchesThe Canterbury. B team played surpris-ingly well. The players all Were fit and■keen. Many of them played above clubform. - :*uTh!? We!lin.?ton players speak well ofthe hospitality they received at Clirist-ihurch, where they were the guests ata great number of entertainments andwere taken for motor"'drives and other-wise were, treated right royally. Intheir opinion the tournament was agreat success, both as-regards thg" jiiau-

agement o£ the games which was ad-mirable, and the spirit hi which Lheywere played.

ZANOL CUP CHANGES HANDS., After having held the Zanol Cup forfive years, Canterbury lost the- covetedtrophy to Auckland oh Saturday. Dur-ing the period the Z;inol Cup lias beenin the possession of Canterbury they[have successfully stalled off eight chal-lenges. . Saturday's match was' the thirdtime this season that Canterbury have-been called upon to defend the cup,Otago and Wellington each having beendefeated previously by the wearers ofthe red-arid 'blade jerseys. The■ ZanplCup, which entitles the holders to callthemselves New Zealand junior hockeychampions, has had. a good run in theSouth, and was due for a visit to tlinNorth Island., No, doubt Auckland'swinning _tho cup will help stimulate-interest in junior hockey' circles, anduext season ishould teae several, moreteams in the field disputing the.' rightsfor possession of the trophy.

Commenting on the Auckland-Canter-bury clash, which was fought out atLancaster Park, the Christchurch"Press says: " Auckland ■'had air thebetter of the first half, and led by 2coals. to nil at. half-time. The Canter-bury players gave a much better exhi-bition in the second' half, which wasvery evenly contested. The closing stagesof. the game were very' exciting. Thevisitors gained a well-deserved win by2 goals to 1." ■The local ladies'.season was concludedcm Saturday, when Girls' College A aridEastbourne played, off for the premier-ship in the junior- A competition. Thegame. was hard and fast throughout.College,- who had the bettor of affairsfor the greater part of the contest, werevictorious by 1 goal' to nil.

Honours in the. senior and junior..Bdivisions were obtained by Training Col-lege A and St. Peter's respectively. Al-though spoiled by several postponements'the competitions hay* created their us-ual interest this season. While there isstill room for improvement in combina-tion in some of the teams, the standardof hockey on the whole has been good.All games have been well contested, andplayers have entered into their tusslesin a most enthusiastic manner. Ladies'hockey in this city is undoubtedly on!the up-grade, and with the promisingImaterial in the junior ranks Wellingtonshould be able to field a strong repre-Iscntative side next season.

SOUTHLAND WIN LADIES'. ..' TOURNAMENT.A great struggle Tesulted from the

Wellington-Poverty Bay round fixtureat the. ladies' tournament at Nelson on.Saturday last. . The Bay forward lineopened brilliantly, and were constantlyin the Wellington circle, only hard andfast clearing saving a score. : Thefirst ten minutes saw Poverty Bay witha lead of two. but the Wellington play-ers 'managed to get control of the ball,and thereafter maintained the aggres-sive. . The Bay's lead was reduced byone. just on half-time, when Miss Swin-.burne,; whose fleet dribbling was a treatto -watch, was rewarded with an open-ing of which she took advantage. Wel-lington continued to press on the re-sumption of play; and two more prettygoals were added to their score fromthe sticks of Miss Swinburne and MissDawson. The. backs were equal to thetask of stemming the fierce.Bay attacks,and another score Svas made just,beforetime was called from the etickof MissDarth., '.The final read : Wellington 4,Poverty Bay 2. 'As Wellington and Poverty Bay worenow o'ni equal terms with regard to.points; it was necessary -for...them .toplay off for sections honours. Thismatch took place oil Monday, and prov-ed the fastest and most skilful gamein the whole tournament. The Baywere successful straight away in nett-ing, l>ut Wellington retaliated with avery effective attack, and : there mat-ters stood, for the remainder of the

I game, the score being one all. Up anddown the field the battle swept, bothsides losing ground and recovering itac the result of heady work by thebacks,, who were very steady allround. :. Several (times the Bay for-wards got through, and were within anar<! of scoring, but' excellent play byMiss Fraser saved the situation. "Wel-

.lington had" equal chances of scoring,but did not take advantage of them.

Another play-off was necessary afterthis' draw, and on Tuesday morning it.waa decided, honours eventually goingto Poverty Bay. This match wasplayed at the same fast rate as in theprevious! games. . As usual Poverty| Bay were first to score, but weak playby their backs let Miss Harper througha second later, and a score resulted,bringing the. teams level. The Bay.managed to. net " another goal early inthe second spell, and they remained ag-gressive till time was called, putting ona further goaliri the last five minutes.Wellington were slow to avail them-selves of good opportunities, -which,however, were very few. Poverty Bay.were.-"allout" to win, and they gave agreat display, which proved conclusive-ly their right Jto the A section honours.

The final he'tween Poverty Bay andSouthland, winners of the B_ section,wae decided on Wednesday, before alarge attendance, and on a fast ground,which was ideal for good hockey. South-land secured a lead of three goals to nilin_the first- spell, Poverty Bay's attacks,failing before the solid defence. TheSoutherners proved equally at homeeither, attacking or defending, and theypassed with great, judgment, upsetting,the calculations of the Bay .forwardsand halves time and again. Late- inthe second spell the Bay managed tt>notch a, goal, and they strove hard tobring their score up without success,victory passing further out of' reachwhen Miss Ashley put in Southland'sfourth shot, which was, incidentally,the last goal scored in the tournament-.On their play throughout tho tourna-ment Southland are .. fully entitled tohold, the shield for another year, andthey are kr be heartily congratulatedon the splendid form and sporting spiritthey showed in all their i.Tatehei; Pov-erty Bay b position as runners-up is noless a matter for congratulation; Theyplayed hard, and well,, and had the mis-fortune to.get.a little "stale" just whenvictory appeared almost certainf,-.:" SCHOOLS' ACTIVITIES.----,,.1'Jf6 excellent-work performed .by theWellington Primary Schools' HockeyAssociation 'is recognised by all inter-ested m the game.

LACOSTE'S GREAT WINS

DOUBLES AND PLATE ATWIMBLEDON,

Although the chief attraction at Wim-bledon may be the singles contest, yetthe gentlemen's,, the ladies' and thomixed doubles championships are all oE

I importance, and attract thousands ofspectators. This year, "the first-iiamed'event closed with 64 pairs, and the win-ners were called .upon-.to play sixmatches to secure the championship,the^re being no byes. The holders, R.Lycett-and L. A. Godfreo, were given-a severe: shake up in the first round byAitken and Ingram, the score being6-0, 6-3, 4-6, 4-6, 9-7. P. E. Allison andK. D; Fairley, both New Zeulnnders,the latter still in his 'teens, had a goodwin from A. H. Riseley; and H. Cover-dale, ,6-1, 8-6, 64, but fell to Lycett andGodfreo in the next round "6-2, 6-4,4-6, 6-1.. A. S. Watt, the Australian,and H. C. Fisher beat S. Hardy and J.S. Myrick, of America, 6-2, 6-4,-3-6, 6-2,and disposed of the Japanese pair, M.Fukuda and T. Haracla in the secondround, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5,. 5-7, 6-2. They werenot strong enough for Williams andWashburn (America), but must have putup a great -fight to run' the score to7-9, 6-4, 7-5; 6-2. Lycett and Godfreelost the first,two: sets of the third roundto the South African pair—Richardson,and. Condon—at 8-6, 9-7, but won the'nexC three easily, 6-1, 6-0, 6-3. Thewinners then put the AJonso brothers,of Spain, out 6-4, 64, 9-7, and wereexpected to win against Williams andWashburn in the semi-final, but Lycetthad the misfortune to rick himself-whenthe score was 7 all in the fourth set,-and had to be'helped off the court. Thematch went to the Americans 4-6, 12-10,6-3, 7-7. ■ . ■ ~

' Vincent Richards and F. T. Hunterwon. the final, defeating their country-men—Williams and Washburn—6-3, 3-6,8-10, 8-6, 6-3; but if over a match wasthrown away this oiie was in the fourthset, when the latter pair, with 2 setsto 1 in, led .6-5, after breaking throughHunter's 'service.. It was Williams'eservice, and he had been winning hisservice games with such ease: previouslythat a 'win for his side appeared ;L fore-gone conclusion. Over-eagerness on Wil-liams's part,, as.well as Washburn's, toclinch the game, set, and match, was.their undoing, as they lost the twelfth

i game, .and never got back into theirstride again. The winning pair becamethe holders for the year- only.of theChallenge Cup, valued at, 60 guineas,which was presented by the Oxford Uni-versity Lawn Tennis Club. Two silvercups, valued at £10 each, went, to thewinners, besides which each received agold medal, and their names were en-graved upon, the Challenge dun, vwiththose of all former, champions. The run-ners-Tip each received a silver cup valuedat £5. TBe of the doubles atWimbledon receive fairly substantialtrophies to commemorate the victory.

THE.LADIES' DOUBLES.

The' winning pair hold for. tlieyear the challenge. trophies, presentedby tlie' Lawn Tennis Association, anda gold medal is also presented to eachof the champions for 1924. The eventjwas robbed of a great deal of its in-terest through the withdrawal of Mile.Lenglen and Miss Ryan in the. fourthround, where they had to - meet Mrs.Wightman and Miss Wills, who won,the event. The-latter pair beat MissesAustin and Colyer, "the Babes," of lastyear's Wimbledon, in the third round,6-2, 6-4. Miss E. Goss and Mrs. Jes-sup, after a sensational win- 6-2, 2-6, 9-7,'from Mesdames Bonverie and Hill, gaveMrs. Wightman and Miss "Wills a greatfight in the semi-final, and the latterpair just won out at 8-6, 6-4.

AUSTRALIA DEFEATS FRANCE.Australia has once again reached the

challenge round of the Davis Cup, butit _was a-very close call, and it is' hardto understand how with Lacosto able towiii both of his singles Borotra shouldjail so badly-hi both of his. singles,ihero might have been some excuse for)Lacoste had hebeen off his gamethroughnerves, as he is only 19 years of age, Ibut Borotra is 26 years of age, and has jiiad considerable experience in big ten-nis. Borotra appears to have left all hischampionship tennis form oh the centrecourt at Wimbledon, where he playedsuch great tennis that good judges wereI of the opinion that he would be too goodfor the Australians. . When Lacoste de-feated Patterson 6-3, 6-2, 10-8, all musthave looked black ar,.'! dismal for Aus-tralia's chance of winning, as where the19-year-pld player could win, it was agood bet that Borotra, could do likewise.Yet that is just-where, the uncertaintyof the game comes in. Borotra has,beaten Lacostj'. five times out of six thisseason, yet.he lias failed against playersthat the younger man fas defeated.France's great ohalice was in the matchbetween Borotra and O'Hara Wood.Borotra had everything in his favour,when leading by 2 sets to I—tho firstand third sets bejng won by him quiteeasily at 6-1. Then he knew also thatIfnooste had defeated PatUarson, and

Ithat the defeat of O'Hara Wood prac-tically meant the. defeat of Australia,and Franco would be the challengers, aswith two matches won the chances werealmost sure that.they could win one outof the other three. Still, just suchthoughts of what it all meant mighthave been his undoing. O'Hara Woodwell.knew wiiat the loss of the matchmeant. He is a' great general, full ofpluck to afault, and just when the oddsare greatest agaiiist him does he riseto the occasion and give of his greatestLoth in mind and bodily strength. Itwas indeed fortunate for Australia thatWood was drawn■ against Borotra inthe first round, and not against Lacoste,otherwise there might have been;a dif-ferent tale to tell. Patterson was all atsea against Lacoste, and made 97 errorsto the hitter's 58. He did much betteragainst BorotTa, but one can hardly be-lieve that his form can be so in and outfrom one day to another. It is quitepossible that the "all night storm "gave Patterson just.the chance he need-ed. A softcourt would bo all against theFrenchman, and it must have been a"heavy storm to penetrate the coveringof the court, as the Americans pridethemselves on having their Davis Cupcourts properly protected against rain.Although O'Harra Wood defeated Boro-tra by 3 sets to 2, the score, being 1-6,6-4, 6-2, yet he wasbehind in games andpoints, scoring 20 games and 131 pointsto the Frenchman's 22 games and 138points. The doubles match; was a "cakewalk " for the Australians, and oventhen, with two matches in to one, tlieycould not have, felt very safe. Still, whowould havo forecasted that Pattersoncould beat the Wimbledon champion,6-3, 6-1, 6-3? What a load must havebeen lifted from,the Australians' should-,ers with that win, as now they aro inthe challenge round L and once again Aus-tialia will have funds enough to sendanother team after the cup in 1925.lilden and Johnston will have to be outof form for the Australians to have alook in. Patterson is a somewphat er-ratic player,, and lei; us hope, that hemay be right above himself when meet-ing the super men of America.; Eventhen we can hardly look for a win. Not-withstanding the cabled information thatPatterson was saving himself in themutch against Johnston for the nationalsingles championship of the UnitedStates, readers are advised that it ishardly likely that Patterson did any-thing of the sort. He would be;anxiousfor manyreasons to extend Johnston asfar as possible. The Australian eitherwas clean off his game, or Johnston ismuch too good for him. Quite a" num-ber of New Zealanders who saw thetwo players in action at Auckland willbe satisfied now that Patterson has nochance against Johnston. Let it boclearly understood that, although nearlyall champions have had bad lapses attimes, and have had to acknowledge de-feat at the hands of inferior player's, itcan be safely said that never has itbeen known for a match to be lost in-tentionally. The players are triers everylime, but, although seemingly fit andwell, cannot find their true form in timeio secure a win, and the harder 'theyiry the worse they get. ' Borotra, afterdoing so well nt Wimbledon, failed badlyat the Olympic contest on his own fancyhard courts at Paris, r-ohefc beat himiv tho semi-final; 6-2, 5-7, 6-2, 6-3. Bich-drds beat Lacoste in the fourth round,6-3, 3-6, 6-1, 6-1; then accounted for deMorpurgo in the other semi-final, 6-4,6-1, 6-1, and wen the final from Cochel0-4, 6-4, 5-7, 4-6, 6-2. Borotra had toplay doMorpurgo oft! for thu third place,and again the Frenchman Tailed. Tho'Italian had trained hard for tho Olym-pic singles, and well deserved his vie-.ILory. New Zealanders who saw Uoro-

tra defeat Richards at Wimbledon wereconvinced that lie would be too good fortatterson, and if lie were able to re-produce his brilliant Wimbledon formwould win the American singles cham-pionship. As that meant defeatingeither Tilden or Johnston, one can im-agine what Borotra-'s game must havebeen like at Wimbledon. Yet after allhe has failed-, and so the game goes on.The challenge round will be decidedto-day at the GermantownCricket Club'sgrounds, Manheim, Philadelphia. Na-turally one would like to see the cupcome south of the Line again, bnt thereis very little hope this year. If a sur-prise does come along, it will be all theraoro welcome. Lacoste was the heroof the day after winning both his singles,and his victory over Patterson mustrankhim fairly high this season. AlthoughYatterson and O'Hara Wood had equalwins against France, the latter had theharder task, as he was still fighting fora win, after knowing that his team matehalf been defeated.

PLAYING FIELDS

DIFFICULTIES WHICH LONDONSEEKS TO OVERCOME. .'

A Bill has just been introduced intothe British House of Commons to en-able local authorities to " acquire landfor playing fields, states the "DailyTelegraph- At the present time thegreat majority of municipalities have nopowers to buy an acre for this purpose,and if they wish to do so they must gothrough the. long and expensive processof obtaining a private Bill. The meas-ure simply enables them to purchase orrent playing fields without coming- toParliament for authority. What itsprospects may- be at this period of thesession we cannot tell, but that somesuch legislation is much needed is notto be denied. Mr. Aldcn told theHouse that his Bill had the support ofthe M.C.C. and all the national govern-ing bodies of the. great sports; it is ap-proved by the Commons and FootpathsPreservation Society and the LondonPlayiug-Fields and Metropolitan Gar-dens -Associations. These are endorse-ments weighty in numbers and in auth-ority, and7we do not doubt, will sat-isfy" the House that the provisions of theBill iir'o of great value. Mr. Alden.indeed, claimed that "practically all theathletic societies of the country are be-hind tho Bill," a force obviously dif-ficult to resist. But iio one who knowsmuch of the conditions of town life candoubt the demand for playing fields. Inevery great centre of population theprovision for out-of-door recreation is-inadequatt'. The parks, even wherothese, are larger, cannot offer enoughcricket pitches and football grounds andtennis- courts for those who, except ina public open.space, have no chance ofa game.

FOR THE WELTERTITLE

BLACKBURN AND MAY ON, MONDAY

CLINTON AND OVEREND INA RETURN.

The.welterweight championship of theDominion will be in dispute at theTown Hall on Monday evening, whenIthe holder of the championship, Harry jMay, oE Auckland, will cross gloveswith Clarrie Blackburn for the betterof fifteen rounds and a substantial purse jprovided by the Wellington Association.Both these lads are New Zealanders,graduates from the amateur ranks, andon paper it seems that the contest shouldbe of a particularly even nature. Bothmen have fought the clever RussianQueenslander, Paul Demsky, May ontwo occasions, and Blackburn once. Inhis fir,st contest with Demsky, Maygained the decision on points, butDemsky more than evened up the scoreat the subsequent meeting when hewon by a- decisive margin. It was un-der the Wellington Association thatBlackburn fought Demsky, and what asplendid little mill it was! Blackburncame in all the time, and Demsky wasobliged to use all his knowledge of de-fensive work to save himself fromtrouble. He was very hard pressed attimes, but managed after fifteen strenu-ous rounds to hold the New Zealanderto a draw. There were many whothought that Blackburn had won quitecomfortably, but there was very littlewrong with the summing up of the.judges. Of course it is useless to tryand draw a. line between performances,but at the same time the respectiveshowings of both these lads againstDemsky can be taken as a basis of com-parison. Then both May and Blackburnhave fonght Larry Lasher, the title-holder causing something in the natureof a sensation at Auckland in' Febru-ary last by knocking out that worthyinside half a round. Just the otherday, as reported elsewhere in thesenotes, Blackburn stopped Lasher in tenrounds, so here again we have a com-parison. Both men are reported to bein the pink of condition", and whenthey take the ring on Monday eveningno quarter will be shown on either side.

An added attraction -will be >a returncontest over ten rounds between RoyOverend, of Hastings, and the Manawatufeatherweight, Derry Clinton. Enthusi-asts will no doubt recall the previousmeeting of these boys, when they foughtlike Kilkenny cats for the whole tenrounds. There seems to be no reasonwhy they should not again delight thehouse with their spectacular efforts, andon this occasion there are many whowill have more than a sentimental in-terest in Overend, a very close second inthe previous race. In his comer he willhave the services of such a good generalas Jack Donnelly, trainer of TommyFairhall, and this alone should provea factor in his favour. He is a fine,game little fellow, and fully deserveswhtever success comes his way. As forClinton, he will be there in"his usualconfident style, and he also will have alarge following of supporters. Two ama-teur contests also will bo staged.

The election to the New Zealand Coun-cil of Messrs. E. Blundell and E. A.Dawson caused two vacancies on theWellington Centre executive, and at tholast meeting of this body Dr. HughesSteele and Mr. George H. Blanchard(Blenheim) were appointed to fill thesevacancies. Subsequently Dr. Steele waselected chairman, and Mr. Blanchardwas appointed to the position of hon-orary secretary-treasurer. The othermembers of the executive are Messrs. R.G. Croudis, local officer, S. G. Smith,M.P., and H. E: Bennett. The execu-tive meets on the first Thursday ofevery month, by kind permission of thechairman, at his consulting-rooms, 164----166, Willis street. Tho secretary, Mr.Blanchard, took up his duties on Wed-nesday last, and his address is 16,Arthur street, telephone 23-197. BothMessrs. Bhindell and Dawson, oh theirretirement, desire to express their thanksto all officials of the various associa-tions over which they had control dur-ing the time they were on the Welling-ton executive, for the support they al-ways received and the confidence thatalways was placed in them..At his homo town, Cessnock, NewSouth Wales, on Friday night, TommyFairhall met Herb Williams, winner of.the. lightweight tournament. The deci-sion went to Williams on a foul in thetwelfth round. In a letter to "Milo,"lrairha.ll states that he beat his oldfriend and opponent, Eugene Volaire,easily enough over twenty rounds, buthe adds that the Frenchman, is boxingextraordinarily well and is likely tobo kept busy by the promoters. On Fri-day, 19th, Fairhall is due to meet eitherHarry Young or Frank Locke, and afterthat he has another tough propositionto face in Bert M'Carthy, -who beat PaulDemsky prior to the last-mentioned boyreturning to the Dominion. Fairhallsays that he also has a desire to comeback to Maoriland, and if he can securea guarantee for three contests he will bedelighted to return. He names two op-ponents, Les Murray and Paul Demsky,and he says that the third could be EmBaxter or any other man in the gameonthis side of the Tasman. Here is achance for some live association to co-operate and secure the services of areally good fighter.

After his rather sensational defeat ofthe big Aucklander, Jim Sullivan, greatthings were expected of George Mod-rich, but the opinion of Northern fol-lowers of the game has changed veryconsiderably since the latter was in turnstopped by the Australian heavy-weight, Jack Leahy. From the very out-set the "'New Zcilauder went in to'makean early finish, and for a time it seem-ed that there was little chance of theAustralian surviving for any ileugthyperiod. Leahy scarcely landed a- cleanblow, and on many occasions the refereewas obliged to warn the men to boxand not to wrestle.'- The unexpectedend came in the fourth round, whenModrich fell away from a clinch anddropped to the boards-. He did nutseem to have stopped a very heavypunch, for at the time of his end theboxers were at close quarters, exchang-ing the usual ridiculous stuff that theheavy weights employ, taps on tholower part of the back and the .shoul-ders. However, Modrich must havestopped a- stiff short punch to the" solarplexus, for he fell to the boards andtook t!ie full count.—no one seems tosuggest that he "squibbed," but thehouse was certainly very surprised sitjthis sudden and very unsiitis.aclory cncl-inir. However, this is a risk that istaken by every association which chooses|to match heavy-weights. Tho pugilistsof less poundage' aie atOeast able"to givethe "fans" a fight for their monevt

Game old Larry Lasher put up a hardfight against tough young Clarrie Black-burn at Stratford last week, when thispair met in a scheduled 15-round con-test. The older man gave of his bestall the time that lie was able to lift hishands, but youth had been well servedby the tenth round, and the veteranwas unable to come up at the gong forthe next session. Blackburn, weighingIGst 61b, had the advantage of 21b inweight, but this could scarcely bo re-garded as one of the factors whichswung the tide of battlein his direc-tion. The opening round was charac-terised by willing fighting, mostly atclose quarters, and when the intervalwas announced Lasher's face was show-ing signs of maltreatment. Blackburnused his left, to good advantage in thesecond round, but:Lasher had mattersquite a lot his own way at close quar-ters; He showed to good advantage inthe third and fourth rounds, and in thefifth showed an inclination to stand andexchange punches with his opponent. Hewas gradually tiring, however, and wasin a bad way by the tenth round. Dur-ing this session he took, more punish-ment than was due to him, and failedto revive sufficiently during the inter-val to enable him to box on in theeleventh. The towel came in and Black-burn was declared the winner. It wasa fast exciting contest, while it lasted,and was fully/ appreciated by the largegathering of "fans" which assembled towatch proceedings.

By defeating Merv "Williams in a 20----rouud contest at the Sydney Stadium,popular Tommy Uren woa the middle-weight title of Australia—or, rather, heregained this honour, which for' so longhad been lost to him. It was their thirdmeeting,1 but the contest was not ofthe thrilling type. ,< It was, however, astrenuous fight, and at times there werea few flashes of pugnacity which stirredthe crowd. For the first five roundsit looked as if Williams, were certain towin. Pie fought with fine', dash, andlanded far the greater number of heavyblows. However, the Penrith boxer,who was formerly champion in three di-visions—light, welter, and middle—gotinto his stride. Williams forced morethan TJren, but the latter fought aheadier contest and great ring experi-ence enabled him to outdo his opponent,particularly in fighting1 at close quar-ters, where he was the master. Theboxers worked hard, but the contest wasoften monotonous, and, judging by thereecipts at the gate, namely, about £400,the boxing public did not view the fix-ture with the favour anticipated. How-ever, the contest had to be fought so asto decide the championship. Now thereought to be a move to develop the' mid-dleweight section, which is weak—veryweak:

Trainer IkeKutner called'on this writerthe other day to say that his boy, GeorgeCurran, is matched to box Bert Brownat Petone on 6th October, for a substan-tial purse and' tlio featherweight title, ofwhich C'urran is thepresent holder. Thereis a forfeit of £50 in the event of anyboy failing to make the weight.

Fighters come and fighters go, butthere is proba'jly not one old-timer aliveat the present time who does not delightIin telling the rising generation of jpugilists -what things were like in days!when he was "in the game-" Our old ifriend Tim Tracy has :i store' of inter-esting little stories, which he unfoldson occasions, and often when one is inconversation with him on ordinary topicsof the fistic art, his face will light upwith that easily framed smile of his—Oipn comes a delightful reminiscence.Tim has two really "good boys, ■ "Choco-late" Hobson and Dick Nixon, but un-fortunately neither of these husky youngfellows carries a har-d punch. A dis-cussion with the writer during the weekon the many assets possessed by theselads which more than counter-balancestheir lack of punching power, led toTim telling the tala of his contest ;*Hastings with Peter Cook. This lat-ter boxer was in the first flight in re-gard to actual cleverness, but accordingto Tim he could not punch hard enoughto "knock a chop off a plate." Themen fought for a, substantial purse, andthe lightweight championship of theDominion, and, like most professionalrivals, they were fast friends in civillife. "Strangely enough," said Tini,"Peter was the only man whom I everwent into the ring with the intention ofknocking over. I don't know why it| was, but I thought to myself before thefight, 'Now, I'll get this over quickly.'I was a's confident as could be, and be-fore we went into the ring I saw Cookand told him that I needed a new ma-chine for my workshop, and that it wasmy intention to buy this machine withmy end of the prize money.''' 'Allright,' said Peter, 'we'll split the pursefifty-fifty.' I agreed to this, althoughI could not see myself losing. Well,we got to work, and I am not going tomake any excuses—he beat me ,onpoints. I absolutely couldn't bowl himover, and he, the man I had made upmy mind to stop, beat me. I couldpunch all right, and he couldn't, but hewas clever, and that won for him. Thatwas the first time I was out to stop myman, a.nd it was also the last." Timtells another amusing- story .of the oneand only time that he was'knocked out.He was fighting the Australian BillyHnnnan, at Wellington, and with onlyabout half a minute of the last roundi^o go, Tim stopped a snappy left hookon the chin. "I felt myself fall," hesaid, "but I knew what was going on,an-cj, I thought to myself, 'Now, I'llwait till the- referee counts eight, andI'll get up.' Well, I counted with thereferee, and' when he said 'eight' Itried to get on to my feet; but althoughI knew what I'was doing, if you hadoffered me all the tea in China "i could-n't have got up. So that's how hobeat me." Tim did not,.omit to tellhow he managed to defeat Hannan onthe second occasion on which they cross-ed gloves. "I did it," he volunteered,"with the aid of what I had learnt inour first contest. Hauuaii once had abroken arm, and he could not hold thislimb out straight in front of him whenhe was boxing. In the first'fight I no-ticed that he never used his left handunless his right arm was held acrosshis chest; but from this position hecouldn't punch with his right. I also.noticed that before he shot over a righthe gradually drew it across his chestuntil it was almost beside his ribs, andthen—bang!—over it came. So, inthe second fight, if I saw that his righthand was held across his chest I keptrunning away towards his right, andwhen the left came over I wasn't there.Then I kept my- eyes open, and whenho slyly began to draw hack his rig>iglove I danced away to his left, and tiecouldn't nail me witli that hand either.I told Alan Jlaxwell all this when liewas matched to fight Hannan, and thefunny part of it was that I was inHaiuian's corner. Of course, I wantedto see the New Zealander win, and Icouldn't help laughing all. the time to-Isee iUaxwoll beating him the same wayas I had done. Hnmian couldn't sjptne joke—especially when the decisionwas given against him."

AGE IN SPORT"YOUTH WILL BE SERVED"

VETERANS IN MARATHONS

A WINNER AT FORTY.

At what age does the modern athletebegin "to slip," to lose the co-ordinationof mind and muscle and spirit thatmakes champions? asks H. B. Ilsley inthe "New York Times." The ques-tion arises naturally in connection withthe retirement,- under medical advice, ofSuzanne Lenglen, French tennis cham-pion, from the Wimbledon tournament.There is no definite answer to the ques-tion. Helen Wills, American tennischampion at 18, and Lee Barnes, Olym-pic pole vault champion at 17, are strik-ing illustrations of the truth of the oldphrase "youth will be served," but it isby no means certain that the veryyoungare soon to dominate the realm of'sport. The hard-pressed veteran stillhangs- on tenaciously. Very ofteii heruns a long course. Added interest isgiven to the subject by the questionof the life of an athlete in the differentsports. "While it is true that in certain sportsthe recuperative powers of youth areessential to continued" success—games ofpersonal contact and those entailing tre-mendous physical and mental strain overshort periods—it is also a fact that othersports demand the strength, stamina,and experience that accompany more ma-ture development. From time to timeyouthful stars flash in the athletic sky,accomplishing the most sensational feats,and, on the other hand, one. is oftenstartled by the marvellous performance"of some veteran, such as the great vic-tory of Stenroos, the Finn, who, at 40years,_ and running his first competitiverace in fifteen years, defeated, theyounger stars of the distance runningworld and captured the Olympic mara-thon.

THE TEST OF TENNIS. . ''The game of lawn tennis, which hasjust reached its fiftieth anniversary, isin the class of/competitions that demandcontinuous mental and physical exer-tion.: Tournament tennis under presentday conditions is a severe test ofstrength,- skill, and stamina, and calls'for the rapid recuperative powers thatonly youth possesses.

Through various stages it has devel-oped into a competition in which thepa-ce is dazzling and the effort long sus-tained. Speed was developed on thehard courts of California, and broughtEast by Maurice M'Loughlin and hisfellow-players, whose serving and smash-ing swept all before them. .East, wasforced to develop pace to meet pace,, andsince that epochal period in-the develop-ment of the game there has been agradual refinement, a harmonising 'into& well-rounded whole, until the cham-pion of to-day must .possess the ut-most skill in every stroke in additionto being possessed of strength and stay-ing power. -I William T. Tilden, the greatest playerthe game has known, has said that heIconsidered the " playing of a .five-set-|championship match 'called for the ex-penditure of as much energy as the run-ning of a marathon race. Tilden is oneof the supermen of sport, and, approach-ing 30 j-ears of age, seems still at theheight of his.powers.. He cannot.alwaysremain a champion, and sooner or laterhis title must fall to. one' among- themany youngsters, that are coming to thefore all over the country. Tournamentlawn tennis must always remain thegame of youth.-

SPRINTERS ARE ALL YOUNG.As in lawk tennis, the sprints—both

on the track and in the water—call for!he expenditure of enormous energy, butover a. shorter period, and in the re-cords .of the sprints it' is shown thatyouth here is supreme. John "\Vfeiss-muller, at 19, holds virtually all 01 thesprinting .records in' swimming, whiteamong the women the sprinters and re-cord-holders like Helen Wainwrighl.Gertrude Edei'le, ■and others are girls iniheir teens. On the track the sprintersare theheroes of the moment, but theirreign is short. To-morrow comes anotheryouth to claim the crown. It has beena constant succession of record-holders,among them Beirnie Wefers, ' BillySchick, Kelly, Drew, and.now Paddockreigns; but his term is drawing to. adose unless the signs fail. ■'It is interesting to note that the mara-.fhons of running and swimming now-adays fall to the older men. Theselests call for the utmost in stamina.The English Channel is the battlegiound of the marathon swimmers andthe four -who have conquered that tu-multuous .body have been athletes in the"ull flush of manhood—Captain MatthewWebb and T. W. Burgess, the English-men ; Enrique Tirabocchi, the Argentine,and Henry Sullivan of Lowell, Mass.The only American to negotiate the task■was 30 when he was successful, havingrcade his first attempt at 20. Only great.strength of body, supreme powers ofendurance, and resistance to cold, ex-haustion, and partial blindness and anindomitable will to conquer can succeedin that battle against the elements. 'IN THE BOXING RING.

Time, in the realm of fisticuffs, haswrought astonishing changes. , It has'aid a. heavy hand on age, demanding ofits champions youth, stall, strength, andstamina. In the .last generation the"manly art of self-defence" has beenlevolutionised into the youthful art ofbeating the other fellow to the punchTwo champions have been mainly re-sponsible for modern ring methods—,John L. Sullivan, wliowas the originatorof the knock-out punch, and James J.Corbett, who _ demonstrated some of thejossibilities of boxing ski!].'

Sullivan was almost 35/ when he suc-cumbed to Corbett, but the latter wasonly 26 when Jeffries deprived him ofIds title. Lanky Bob Ktzsimmons,-ousof the marvels of the .ring, fought hislast great fight at 40. It was his eoi-gram that will last as long as'pugilism—';the bigger they come the harder theytall. But he was destined to- fall be-fore a bigger and also a younger an-tagonist.iwo -world's champions to-day standrut as commanding figures in their re-spective, divisions—Jack Deir-psey theheavyweight title-holder, and BennyLeonard, at the top of the lightweights.Jiach is 28 years of age, and probablytheir best fights are behind themThere are countless thousands of menthe world over with the physique of Wi!- Iham Harrison1 Dempsey, 'but none has

yet appeared combining those quatftieswith cath.ee agility, tremendous hittin<*<powers, extraordinary boxing skill un°equalled capacity for taking punishment,and remarkable recuperative powers. H&iias nearly readied the age limit for theiwo last-named qualities. If he remainsin the ring, his time will come. He hastaken two blows that ho will never-for-get—Carpenter's right to the jaw andFirpo's smash that drove him throughthe ropes and stood him on his head."

SPIRIT OF CRICKET

BITTER .QUARRELS, OF THE PAST,

r,.^"f D- f hfc' ihe oW Englandcncketer, has been reviewing 'the dis-putes and controversies of modern hi"'cricket, and. has made an appeal to"cricketers to return to "the old licht--hearted spirit in cricket," and has°eu.forced his appeal by a roseate picture of .the good old days, writes, a, correspon-dent of the "Manchester Guardian." Wecould all echo that appeal if we- couldmake up our minds' where in the historyoi big cricket to place those good old 'days The sad truth is that they exist, -chiefly in the imagination of the men of 'to-day. No doubt it is true that thero 'is too much bickering in modern first-class cricket, too much-barracking from,the ring, too many disputes betweencounties on matters of cricket- law; butcricketers are human like other peopleand it is the sad fact that there havebeen '-unfortunate incidents" in bi"-cricket at all periods. Go back a- hun-dred years and we come to the bitter .quarrel between "England" and' Sussex 'culminating in a manifesto from Eng-land players refusing to play again "un- .l6Sa the Sussex bowlers bowl fail-." TheAll-England Lieven was founded in 1846, ":and it was not long before bitter quar-rels began,/culminating at last, in a re-volt, against Clarke and angry rivalry be-tween the All-England and United Eh~- ■'land elevens. So it has gone on with, "*individual players refusing to play with "''or against other players, with broken'relations, between counties,- with- theNorth and South controversy, with un.-fair bowling controversies, and'so forth.The fact is that Mr. Knight ovc-rlooksthe true, place of cricket in our affec-tions. Cricket as the greatest and.jfriendliest of all games has been' builfc .'up and maintained by the Saturday ■:"'"afternoon match; wherever the spectacu-lar side comes into a game there is con- ■troversy,. less perhaps in cricket than in "some- other games, but the true' spiritof cricket is as strong and pure in dieSaturday■■afternoon match, as ever iii 'cricket history.

:WHAT' IT HAS DONE IN THE. ■ .■ . ARGENTINE. . .- .'■_ '."rIf boxing as a sport and pugilism asa profession can be shown'to have weaii-"ed a. nation from its use of lethal weap- ■ons in the settlement of personal quar-rels, those who denounce the "noble ■art" as brutal and degrading may be ,

prepared to modify their point of view", . '.states Leonard. Matters in the "Daily; 'vMail." I believe the Argentine Bepub-/*lie presents a remarkable instance ofthe beneficial influence of British sportin general, and boxing in particular, up- "on the character of a people. No-long-er does the young blood of Buenos" Aires. .'hie^him to an armeria when his dignityis affronted or his honour aspersed: No; ■■■■longer does he slip aa automatic pistolin his hip pocket or push a ".knife up.his,":.sleeve preparatory to meeting his enemy.He joins a boxing club—if he- is not al-ready a member of one—practises upper-cuts and short-arm jolts/ and. sallies "'forth to exact vengeance with his naked '<fists. ■ " ■ . ";":"■ '."-.. v:::: " ■Then years ago boxing ..was practical-,.ly unknown in'the Argentine except toEnglishmen. Occasionally a match be-tween sailors from visiting ships mighttake place. -When the word was quietly.passed around among us that such ai"mill" had been arranged, we had toleave the city and foregather in some,frowsy'old hide store or warehouse inthe Boca. As in the old days of theprize

_ring_ in England a little stream,

dividing'Federal from Provincial terri-tory, marked the limits of the jurisdic-tion of the Buenos Aires police, aifiacross this darksome Styx we were fer- ■ried to the encounter. :

That attitude has changed.' Boxingsuddenly leaped into popularity twoyears ago through the success of oneman. Luis Angel Eirpo had never beenheard of in his./own country, where-public exhibitions of boxing had neverbeen tolerated. He had acquired somoknowledge of the game from the few.tutors of boxing in Buenos Aires, andwent to the United States. There hewon three matches in rapid -succession,and the" Argentine "discovered" him..Later on Firpo beat everybody until hefought ' Dempsey. In that memorablomatch he gained the double'distinction ,of being knocked down"eight.times"be-".'■■"fore he was counted out, aud of being]the ionly man who ever knocked Dempr jsey clean out of the ring. Before this"lhappened boxing had become an; ov&r*;night "boom" in Argentina. \The younger generation of Argentines, 1who had taken to football, rowing,swimming, and other sports in which--the British had been their tutors, sud-denly became wildly enthusiastic overErpo's example. Boxing clubs "spranginto existence all over the Bepublic ; oldEnglish and American "pros." quicklybecame persons of supreme importanceas tutors, and now, dressed in-their best,walked past the deserted arm stores-with their heads held high. 'To-day in Buenos Aires it is no moraa gross indignidad de hombre to strikea man for an insult. Once it was, and "■

the penalty was almost as great as ifyou had killed him with a bullet or ablade, in which case you did not forfeityour claim to be a gentleman. Now--you .must be a "sportsman" arid resent

NEW ZEALAND HAY ANDOATS.

B. J. Mason, Gloaming's mentor, ask-ed once for his secret of getting horsessd ht^ said, "Give, them plenty of goodfood. But Australian racing men, whogive their horses the best that moneywill buy, have often wondered whetherthere is any special virtue in New Zea-land fodder," writes "Poseidon" in thebydney "Sun." .The question has ■ been ■ .raised. manya time, as the. comparatively few .horsesfrom the' Dominion that have raced inAustralia have won important events.Is-it any wonder that just as. the vau-deville artist used to sing, "There issomething in the seaside air," so raeim'men in Sydney have come to thinkthat there, is something' in New Zea-land fodder, that it is more nutritivethan that grown in their own sunnyland. ■ . J

New Zealanders themselves have nodoubt about it, and trainers who bringhorses across the sea letch a plentifulsupply of .their own fodder; and willhave none, of that grown in New.SouthWales. . .-'..■...A.-small party of New Zealanders—two prominent owners and a trainer-were discussing, the fodder question andone of them put it thus: "I have beento several of the richest parts of NewSouth Wales and Victoria, and haveseen, nothing- like .our., "grasses." '"They grow splendid lucerne here,"ventured -the trainer. ■ :

"But they have nothing like our mea-dow hay and red clover and oats." Andthe owner proceeded "to explain that'cultivation is more intensive in theDominion than he has seen it here. HeIreckons that there is plenty of tip-topnatural soil in; New South Wales, butthat the growers do not use sufficientsuper on it, and""" that the Englishgrasses do not. thrive as they do in.'his own country. .-■''-■AN AUSTRALIAN CONVERT.

At least one eminent Australiantrainer who was convinced that there isvirtue in the New Zealand meadow hay'is James Scobie, of Melbourne; and hewent to. considerable pains last seasonto secure a ton of it, or, rather, friendsgot it for him. -While New : Zealand-owned horseshave been so phenomenally successful inthe A.J.C. Derby, two of them—Gloam-ing and Biplane—were bred in Australiaand taken away to the Dominion. Therethey spent that important period oftheir lives, when gristle was developing'into bone, when they were being cotready to race; : " .. Gloaming as a yearling looked sucha poor specimen that the stud groom■who was showing Mr. Yuille over Mel-ton Stud, prior to the sale, passed himIby. When tho auctioneer.'remonstratedthe Groom replied: "Oh, you only miss-ed the colt out of Light, and he looksvery weedy, and' I don't suppose willbe much : good."

Every racegoer knows what a sturdyold fellow Gloaming is now, and whatsplendid bone he has. Of course, hemight have developed, just as well if hehad spent the '.whole of his .second yearand his third year in Australia, but itiV not unreasonable to wonder whetherhis remarkable vitality and fine staminaare not in great measure due to thefodder he/has eaten. ■The wonderfulsuccess of George Price,a New Zcalander, with Stoviy, Wind-bag, and Collaroi, and the manifestimprovement he has effected in. ThoCypher, have made other trainers won-der whether: he . has; "something tin.them," ■as the Americans would say,in the matter, of fodder; but the genialGeorge, when questioned, about it, mere-ly smiled, and, like" Brer Rabbit, saidnuffin. : ...,,-■-.

PRACTICAL EXPERIMENT. ■.One Sydney owner is prepared tothoroughly test" New Zealand's fodderand 'bracing climato (for perhaps that

has some beneficial influence on .thehorses). He saw the Derby colt NiggerMinstrel on his arrival, and was so for--cibly struck by his magnificent develop-ment that lie conceived a great idea.He straightway looked -up a; New-

Zealand trainer, and offered to buy fouryearlings next season, which should bohanded to him, to be placed in paddocksover there, broken in and prepared forracing. There are difficulties in ■ theway, but the project: is to be furtherdiscussed, and it, is possible that it willbe put into effect. <

TROTTING

SEASON'S SPORT REVIEWED

STAKES AND TOTALISATOR .FIGURES INCREASED,

(BX TELECP.ArH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.). CHBISTCHUIICH, 12th Sept, 'In returning thanks for his re-elec-tion to the position of prosident of theNew Zealand Trotting Association to-day, Mr. P. Selig said that tho sportof trotting was in a very satisfactoryposition, notwithstanding the unpleas-antness which, had occurred during the'season. After all, it was caused bymen on the fringe of the sport, and notby men of any standing. Trotting to-day was in a much higher position thanever, and so long as the public hadconfidence in those conducting the sport,it would continue to, be the most popu-jlar pastime'in the Dominion.

The clubs, notwithstanding heavytaxation, were all going ahead and thesport was steadily progressing. Figureswhich had been published by the .Gov-ernment Statistician practically agreedwith-their own. The sum of £148,930had been given in stakes by .the var-ious clubs during the past season, andthe sum of £1,883,832 had passedthrough the totalisator. Adding stakesgiven by racing clubs for trotting eventson their programmes, these totals wereraised to £180,263 and £2,051,221 re-spectively. ."I would like to point out for thebenefit of those outside the sport whocontend that gambling is so .iiig," saidMr. Selig, "that tho whole of the moneywhich passed through the totalisatorwas returned to'tho public in some shapeor'form. This is a fact which shouldnot be lost sight of by.opponents of thesport. Some of the. money went to theConsolidated Revenue, and some to theowners by way of'stakes. This moneywas. spent .by the owners in variousways; employment, saddlery, etc. I saythat there is not too much trotting forthe population-of the place. We shouldcater for what people require. I hopethe Gaming Bill will go through, andalso that there will be some relief fromthe heavy taxation which has" had to beborne since the war." . : ■ ..,

Zealandtrotting enthusiasts:—The report thatDixie Derby, in finishing fourth in theA.T.C.. Handicap, had covered the mileand a half in 3niin 17sec, is an instanceof the fallacy of the calculation of 12ydsto the second in gauging a horse's time,irrespective'of the class of race. Whenit was decided at the trotting confer-ence that 12yds to the second was tobe taken as-the standard, the "Referee"pointed out that it would act unfairly.in the handicapping of horses and theIcalculation of times. -In any case, thYtime put,up. by Dixie Derby "in finishingout ot a place would' nob be' official, andwhoever made ;the. calculation" has evi-dently fallen into the' error of.calculat-ing_ 12yds to the second. In America,. it is all class racing, a horse taking itsclass strictly from its winning time, no| times being taken,or recognised of .sec-iond or third horses. They tried a fewhandicaps on the Australian system, not-ably a, £10,000 handicap at Readville,thirteen years.ago; but it was reckoneda, failure, and the system is never like-ly to_ replace class racing "in heats,, aspractised in America from time immem-orial, and in the early days of racing in: Australia. It 'will be romembered thatfv.-hen the much-discussed mare Virginia: Rose - came to Australia, the American

Association, the leading bodyof the world, gave the mare a certificatei that she was a maiden, absolutely with-i out a time record of any sort, although

" she had finished second in fast-runheats. Under. 'Australasian methods,however, the report that Dixie Derby

;had put up 3min 17sec in finishing fourth"may have far-reaching effects detrimen-tal to the horse's prospects in the future.Dixie Derby is, without doubt, the great-est pacer of his years Australia has seen,and his destination later, on will, nodoubt, be New Zealand. As in Aus-tralia, New Zealand handicappers do iothandicap on actual winning or placofigures; and if the articles on DixieDerby's reputed 3min 17sec find their

I way into the New Zearand papers, they| may. prove detrimental to the horse'sprospects in the Dominion. As a* mat-ter of figures, Dixie Derby's time for,the mile and a half was omin 18-Jsec,which, had he Avon, would have stillbeaten the Australian Tecord of 3min19secheld by Happy Voyage. The ac-tual figures of the great stallion's runare as follows:—He was giving RockAllen, who won in 3min 303sec, 168ydsstart, equal to 13sec, and was, as nearas possible, a second behind the winner,which makes his time 3min 18?sec. Itwas Dixie Derby's last run prior to go-

' ing to the stud for .a season. He is aI stallion of comnianding appearance, witha race recosxl of 3min l^sec.

GOLF FINALSMOSS WINS PROFESSIONAL

AUCKLANDERS OUT OF >AMATEUR

PRESENT HOLDEE IN FINAL.

fBT TELEGRAPH.) . '(From "Barfy," "The Post's" Speciali "" ■ ■ Eeporter.)

AUCKLAND, 12th September.As tho result of play under perfect

conditions at Middlemore to-day, E. J.Moss, of the Auckland Club, is the pro-fessional as well as the open championof New Zealand, and J. Goss, holderof the amateur championship, will to-morrow meet-L. Quin, of Eltharu, to de-

;cide who will hold the title for the en-suing year.. There were several features in to-day's play, the principal being the de-feat of the two Aueklanders, H. B.Lusk and G. TP. Gunson, on Aucklasdlinks, "both- being thoroughly familiarwith Middlemore, though-Gunson reallybelongs to Maungakiekio Club.The match between Goss and Lusk wasa very hard-fought one, ending only ontho thirty-fifth green after each hadlead at various stages during* the match.A remarkable feature of the Quin-Gun-son match was the recovery of Quin,who was five down at the seventh in. theafternoon and four down when the pairturned for homo.

Playing beautiful golf, Quin then wonseven holes in succession—ona of themost sensational recoveries in the his-tory of New Zealand golf. Both play-ers are young, but Gunson is only nine-teen, and has been playing for somethree years, so that he , has achievedsomething1 ■ sensational for so inexperi-enced_ a player by reaching the semi-final in such an event. Quin, as Ihaveremarked, is the product of a nine-holecourse, and is a steady player, who ob-viously' never acknowledges defeat untilit actually arrives. What will happenm the final is hard to'■Suggest. Quinand Goss are close friends, and spentyesterday together at .one of the seasidesuburbs, resting for to-day. Both playsplendid wood and iron shots, bufr areoccasionally patchy on the -green's, sothat the best that can be said of to-morrow" is that the. winner will bo theone with the luck running his way. To-day has been beautifully fine with afair wind up or down most of the holes.

MOSS BEATS M'INTOSH._

When Moss and M'lntosh went outin the morning ropes were taken out,for there was'a large gallery. M'Tntosh-really lost his chances in the first sevenJioles. Playing very boldly he got intoseveral lots of trouble, and-his puttingwas not good enough to pull him out.liis driving 'was very good in patchesbut his seconds were-often too strongWith a lead of 5 in the first seven"holes, 'Moss, playing beautifully' steadygolf, was in position that presentedMlntosh with a high hurdle. M'lntoshmanaged to reduce the lead by lunchtime to 3 up, but in the afternoon Mosscontinued to'play on the pin most'ofthe way and few chances, so thatin the finish M'lntosh had to make astrong challenge, but it proved- ineffec-tive. On starting away in the morn-ing Moss holed a ten-footer for a halfM'intosh drove fifty yards ahead of himfrom the tee at the second, and put hissecond 'through the greeii into therough; Moss getting down in 4, and -M'-lntosh missing a yard putt for a half.The next was halved in par figures, andMlntosh.fluffed his next tee shot, Mosslaying his third .stone dead and win-ning the hole. Things continued thisway until at the, seventh Moss had alead of a -up. M'lntosh then steadiedand the gallery was treated to splen-did golf. M'lntosh laid his next' ap-proach dead and won the hole in 3but at the ninth Moss sank a twelve-foot putt for a win. At the tenth MTn-tosh sank a six-foot putt for a 2 ' Thenest was halved, and Moss won'thenext m-4 to 5 At the 200-yard hole,MIntosh missed an eighteen-inch" puttfor■* 3 halving the hole. M'lntosh'sbad luck continued on the nest twogreens, where he missed shortputts' forwins and he got his next win at theeighteenth, where Moss took : threeputts. ' ._The pair halved the first hole in thealternoon, and Moss lost the secondthrough bunkering his second and miss-ing a five-foot putl. The next was'halved in bogey, both being short withtheir seconds. " Tho next hole was atypical, example of what can. happen ingolf. The hole is a long one, requiringtwo hard hits. Moss topped his teeshot into the cross bunker, played outwith his mashie, and then laid" a fullsmack with an iron alongside the pin.M'lntosh, meantime, played the holein perfect golf, and had to: struggle toBet a half. M'lntosh put an iron secondinto the. creek at the next; and lost thehole, but recovered with a brilliantthree at the next, and halved the nextm three, and the next in four. Twoshort approaches cost M'lntosh thenext hole, and the next two were halv-ed in three and four. M'lntosh toppedhis tee shot at the twelfth, and finally■gaye up the hole. Then at the shortthirteenth he got. on with his tee shot iand took three putts, JJoss getting on "■with his second and winning the hole. .The next two were halved in par fio-1 'ures, and the match ended in -favourof Moss, five and three. :QUINS REMARKABLE RECOVERY.-In the opening stage's of the- Quin-Gunson match Gunson'was driving verywell, and Quin was playing steadily,except ou the greens, where lie is usu-ally good. His only putt in the roundwas a 20-footer at the thirteenth, whereho got a nice two. Quin was two downin. the first three holes, having threeputts at two or them. The fourth washalved, and Gunson then hooked intotho ditehand gave the hole up, puttiiifhis third into the^ creek. Quin tookfive at tho next, and the followingthree were halved, and Quin lost thenext two, but he won the next in twoand .the next three in bogey, leavinghim two down on going to lunch.After that the golf was fair, Gunsonhaving the advantage. "He won thefourth in three, laying a beautiful brassyshot dead for three. By the time theturn for home was reached Gunson wasfour up, but he missed an easy putt atthe tenth, and this was tho' 'beginningof the end. Playing some of the bestgoli seen in the tournament Quin start-ed for home in par figures, and all thegallery gathered round when' it wasknown Quin had taken five holes insuccession from Gunson., Gunson wasunable to stand up to the strain, andlost control of his shots, so that wosaw Quin take the next in a'par four and;lay Gunsnn a stymie on the fifteenth,preventing Gunson getting a" badlywanted half. A pulled drive followedby a- wonderf.il iron shot out of thegrass saw Quin on the given at the six-teenth, while ftnnson sliced his first, andsecond, and .the match was over. j

This failingenabled Lusk to keep up with him inspite of wanderings into rough fromhis wooden shots.

Miss K. King-, the talented little Hast-ings lady, who is touring-Australia, withAllan Wilkie's Shakespearian Company,has received some most flattering noticesfrom the Australian Press.

ADVANCEDMUSIC

PLAYING PIANO WITH WOOD

In reply to a recent newspaper inquiry,a number of leading English musiciansagreed that the chief characteristic ofmodern music is its essentially "experi-mental" nature. Mr. Hugh ArthurScott, in the "Nineteenth Century," saysthat in all countries the more "ad-vanced" composers are writing musicwhich in most casfis is incomprehensibleeven to accomplished ; musicians. Pro-found students and learri&d, theorists findit impossible even to begirt to reconcilethis music with any of the principjesupon which European music has beeiiconstructed hiherto. Professor Cordertook a piano piece of Sdnonberg, wroteit out backwards, and then successfullydefied anyone to say "which of tho twoversions was the right one. Other com-posers have written piano works whichrequire the use of the fist and the fore^,arm, and in some cases blocks of wood,Jto strike certain'of the "chords"; andin gravely submitted orchestral com- jpositions the "instruments" employedinclude iron chains, typewriters, re-|volvers, and sledgehammers. - <Most 01 the composers' of eminence \nthe past have puzzled niany of their cori-itemporaries at first, but the presen posi-1tion cannot be accounted for in thai; jway. .. The new eccentric composers!make no nearer approach to music than!a child does in banging the keyboardwith his open hand. Seemingly elabor-ate pains are taken.to avoid any com-bination of notes which could conceiv-ably afford pleasure to tho ordinary ear.If such collocations of tones as someof these composers put forward consti-tute music, then it is open to anyone tobecome a composer forthwith. Form-erly music has been a development ofthat of the past, but in the "new"music no intelligent connection can betraced. Probably Richard Strauss in-itiated the Modernist Revolt, though hohas long been outclassed in violence ancTsensationalism. One great difference of;the "advanced" music from that of the jmasters is its self-consciousness. Thisis an age of "stunts" and self-advertise-ment, and musicians, like many others,are seeking notoriety at all costs. Todo anything jjreat in music on establish-|ed lines requires nothing less than genius.Brahms in the last generation and Elgai;!in this proved that it could be done, jbutf'it is beyond the capacity of smaller|men. Yet by being nonsensical, ex-travagant, preposterous, and outrageousthey can attract attention at " once, jTheir efforts have some relation to those:!in pictorial art of the atonalists, thepolytbnalists, the., post-impressionists,the cubists, and the like.

Musical theory and practice necessar-ily undergo continuous expansion anddevelopment; but this formerly cameabout spontaneously as owe great master"succeeded another. Now it seems to beaimed at deliberately and artificially asan end ia itself. Often great technicalskill-is displayed, as by Seriabi-n, Strav-insky, and Schonberg, but there is nocommensurate Most of themasters indulged in occasional extrava-gances and audacities, but they did notproduce works consisting of nothingelse. Since Bach and Handel laid thefoundations of modern music the line ofunquestionably great masters has neverbeen broken until today. Probably thenecessary genius will present himself indue course, and then all that is of realvalue in the wild and frantic experi-mentalising of to-day may be turned toproper account.. . - ■ -THE FIRST FILM PLAY

> Animated photographs, as screen pic-tures wore originally called, were iirstshown in the early 'nineties; but until1899 their subjects were confined to thereproduction of actual events. Thecinema as a branch of dramatic arthadstill to bo created, states a film critic'in tho. "Daily-Mail." The first filmplay, completed on'loth. March, 1899,was.the joint.work.of two young men,both English by birth,, who occupied asmall room.on the top floor of a NewYork skyscraper—J. Stuart Blackton.who had begun lifo as a carpenter, andAlbert E. Smith, a music-hall artist.Each has sinco made a big fortune outof thefilm industry. Their first produc-jlion would be regarded as ridiculously'crude if seento-day. Itwas called "TheHaunted, House," and showed a manreduced to grotesque terror at tho sightof a ghost. The young producers hadonly a hundred feet of film available,and their play took less than two-min-utes to perform. L

Some years passed before any screenplay designed to last more than aquarter of an, hour was attempted, andeven as late as 1910 the progress of thecinema was handicapped by difficultiesof photography. The film flickered and""jumped";- black spots and scratchesand blurs,raced across the-screen. .Butwhen oncethe flicker and the spots wereremoved, the popularity .of film playsspread like an epidemic.

In the course of comparatively fewyears the making of film plays hasgrown to be a gigantic world-wide in-dustry. The "pictures" now exercise asgreat an influence for good or evil asliterature or -the stage. They are as.popular with the natives of India aswith the natives of Mayfair and /White-chapel. In London there are now over600 picture theatres; the total in" theBritish Isles exceeds 4000, and othersare being rapidly built. . Last year thenumber of new films produced'in Eng-land reached over 800. Many' of theniwere over 6000ft in length. In some ofthe "super" pictures .25,000 people wereemployed to make a single scene.As yet the cinema has not been allow-ed to fulfil its true destiny. Those be-hind the productions have not/ often beenswayed by high ideals. The commer-cial-minded have [Hindered to flic shal-low inindoil. Bui,, there" avu breaks intbo okiuils. The past year lms been bi;;with 'significance. Greater care,has beentaken to obtain accuracy of detail, es-pecially in historical pictures. Artisticbrains have been given an opportunity| at last.

The Wireless WorldBY "GRID-BIAS."

SOME VALVE CURVESAND WHAT THEY SIGNIFY,

The .diagrams in this article are char-acteristic curves of a number of well-known receiving valves. They have beenredrawn for publication-in these notes,so that they are all to the same scale.and are directly comparable with, oneanother. It is not pretended that anycurve will correspond exactly to the per-formance of an individual: valve- of cor-responding make; but it will, or should,closely approach it, and may,be regardedas a fair average. It must jbe remem-bered that these curves are made bywhat are called "static" tests; that is,the grid voltages applied are steady, andthe plate current is measured by meansof a inilliamperemeter. In. actual work,the grid voltage during reception is arapidly-varying quantity, and so is theplate current, each changing at citherradio or audio frequency. When this isthe condition the plate circuit --"resist-,ance" acquires .anew....value, being verymuch higher, as a rule, than that shownby a static test, and this leads to a modi-fication of the curve". Tho full discus-

Ision of this interesting phenomenon can-not, however, be gone into now, nor isit necessary for the purpose of compar-ing valves so far as the curves are use-ful. "Grid Bias" is indebted to Amal-gamated Wireless of Australasia. Ltd.,for the originals of curves reproduced to-day. '■"';.'. . \

The R valve is one of the, best knownof receiving types, and is-popular forall purposes. It has a large total emis-sion, being capable of passing mbre than6. milliamperes, and.for amplifying pur-poses roughly.. one':third of/; ;the totalcurve, at 80i volts.on-,the plate, is avail-able. The va.lye gives -excellent.-audio-frequency/amplification at., this, voltagewith a negative,bias of 2j or 3 volts.Operated at,a;lower voltage, up to 60,it gives first-class :results -'as a detector,in conjunction with a grid condenserand leak; and some users find it oper-ates well at very,low plate voltages. TheR is one of the best all-round valves foruse where/it is nob '-desired to employa special type for a specific purpose.

I' Filament battery voltage, 2 to 3;'[filament terminal voltage 1.5 to 1.8; fila-jment \current, .34 to .4 amp.; anodevplts, 30 to 50; socket, British four-pin.

The D3ilß valve curve closely resem-bles that of the R, of- which it is the"dull emitter" counterpart. The platecurrent is considerably higher for agiven voltage than -in- the Rj/that. is,the characteristic .curves further to theleft; and they are also steeper. The

.DEB,'-.curve -for 30 volts is very littleibelow that for the R at 60 volts, and,the DER SO volts curve shows -consider-Iably higher readings than that of theR for 60 volts. In shape, however, thecurves are notably alike, and the DERcan claim to duplicate the ;R; in gene-ral utility. i ;-.' ■ . -. ;-. ■:

The DER,> though classed as a-dullemitter, and though using very muchless current'for-the. filament than. a.bright filament bulb, should. not boused with dry cells, if a, wet battery isavailable. The filament, consumes .35to .4 ampere,'and this is far too big aload to put upon' dry cells, unless theyare harnessed two abreast at: least.However, as the filament requires only1.8 volts, four dry cells so arranged willcarry the, load fairly well.

In Y24 we find j.a valve more of a.specialist type than the R. It is defin-itely a low-power apparatus, and is ./si-'----signed to operate with a very low platevoltage,, and yet with a relatively highplate current at zero grid-volts. The'jlotal current emission is low—less than j

'1-L millimetres at saturation; but thecharacteristic is that of a valve admir-jably suited for amplification ■: in the1earlier stages of a multi-stage set—i.e.,Ion the high frequency side—where trueamplification and no great volume isneeded, and for generating oscillationsof small power, as iii a separate hetero-dyne. These are, in fact, the uses forwhich this valve is specially recom-mended. Its small maximum outputgives it a quality which others have not.A strong burst of. static cannot carrythe current beyond the limits of thecurve, so that on the receipt of weaksignals the noise of static can onlyreach a definite maximum, and to thatextent interference is limited. As a de-tector, the Y24 is ' not recommended.The curve is too flat. As tlie usefuloutput of a detector valve is the differ-ence between increases and decreasesof current values, and not the differencebetween minima- and maxima, a steepcurve is desirable.

The xalve, in spite of the low platepotential recommended (24 volts) has asufficient range of negative grid volt-age, covering roughly live volts, to en-

suro distoi'tionless audio-frequency ampli-fication, though, without much volume ofoutput. The valve is of the tubulartype, with the filament terminals at op-posite ends., and the grid and plate ter-minals at the sides.

The QX, like the V24; is of the tubu-lar type of valve popularised by the.Mar-coni-designers, the special virtue of thisform being that the four terminals of the,elements arc not crowded together in thebase, and the capacity effects of thevalve are kept at a minimum. Thisquality has greatly helped in giving thovalve its very high reputation as aradio-frequency amplifier, as it decreases thotendency,of the circuit to self-oscillato onshort wave-lengths. The- valve has avery high voltage-amplification factor,in the neighbourhood of 25, which makesit a very powerful instrument, especiallyin circuits of the tuned anode type.' Thevalve is also an efficient' detector, "aridma-y,' if desired, be used as such with apotentionmeter instead of a grid ; con-denser, owing to the marked bend at.the foot of the characteristic curve fallingclose to' the zero grid volts line.

Filament battery voltage, 3-4g; fila-ment terminal volts, 3; filament current,.06. ampere; anode volts, up to 90;socket, British four-pin.,The DE3 valve is one of the now, high-

ly popular family of extremely low fila-ment current valves. The normal filamentcurrent is .06 ampere at 3 volts..'- Thismeans that the filament, in its length ofnot much more than half an inch has aresistance- of 50 ohms, and this: meansthat it is of extraordinary fineness. Suchvalyes require care in handling, and areeasily "burnt out by too big a current.With proper care, however, they have a.long lifeand give astonishingly good re-sults. The electron emission of DE3 ishigh, and gives, at zero grid volts, acurrent of 2.5 millan-njeres with.Bo volts

_on, the plate.. 'Anything from 40 .voltsup- to, 90 gives an excellent amplificationcurve, and at anything above 20 volts,the valve is a good detector. As . thecurve is: rather flat at 20 volts, a ratherhigher plate potential is needed for sensi-tive detection. Except that the base andsocket capacity may be troublesome atshort-wave, lengths : (the .English 4-pinIbase fitting: into four tubular socketsis the regular mount) the DE3 is a fineradio frequency amplifier.: With. 80 or90 volts on the plate there is an excel-lent sweep of straight curve, and .with 4volts negative bias on the grid, audio-frequency amplification should be as goodas with any valve of the same output.It isan admirable valve: lor the firststage of audio-frequency, but cannot beexpected to carry out its duties properlyin the second stage with a strong input.This limitation applies equally to. allvalves; and care should always he taken,in adding ;stages,. that the followingvalve is big enough to carry the outputof its predecessor. .'. ■> -■

THE MICROPHONEBOOM 'FOR EXPERIMENT.

It is .-not "very'difficult to build anefficient receiver; but to provide a, thor-oughly good loud-speaker to work withit,' so as to give ample volume of soundand quality above reproach, has so fardefied the efforts addressed to-the prob-lem. Closely related to this is the diffi-culty of finding a thoroughly satisfac-tory microphone for the broadcastingstation. Though most radio enthusiastshave no direct; concern with the micro-phone, they are all indirectly affectedby it, and some knowledge of itspeculiarities is of value. 'The best known microphone in com-mon use is that of the ordinary tele-phone. This consists of a fixed plateand a diaphragm which is'vibrated bythe voice, and between the two a pinchof tiny grains of very hard carbon, hav-ing very much the appearance of gun-powder. A battery connected with thetelephone circuits pusses a small cur-rent through tho granules, the dia-phragm and the fixed platel being theielectrodes. Vibrations of the diaphragmjcause.changes in the pressure betweenthe granules and modify 'the strengthlof the current; and it is the modifica-tion of the current which is passed overthe telephone line .and affects the re-ceiver. ! . '";'

The common telephone microphone hasbeen designed to be simple, reliable,sturdy under rough treatment, and asefficientas possible, the last of the quali-ties meaning that it passes on a con-siderable volume ofsound-frequency cur-rent variations. But this form of effi-ciency has been found so far to be ob-tainable only at the cost of a> serioussacrifice in regard -to purity of repro-duction.' Telephone speech seems bet-ter than it is; much of it is understoodbecause familiarity with tho words usedenables thorn to be recognised. Thosubtler qualities of speech are oftenlost. This is partly due to the tact-that the microphone is selective in re-gard to certain frequencies.

An attempt to use a standard micro-phone for Uitih-eUtss broadcasting ig veryliable to fail. Musical tonea of the

higher and lower frequencies do nothave their full value, and accurate re-production of the quality of voices andinstrumental notes is impossible. It hasbeen found that the chief cause of thisfailure is the exaggerated response ofthe diaphragm to sounds of about itsnatural frequency. That cause of dis-tortion is easily avoided by making thediaphragm non-resonant to audible fre-quencies, generally by stretching it so.tightly that its natural poriod is abovethe audible limit. In combination-witha double microphone capsule, whichcorrects certain irregularities in thevariation of the microphone resistance,this provides a fairly satisfactory micro-phono. But its output is far smallerthan that of a standard microphone,'andhas to be amplified before it- can bnused to modulate the transmitted wave.

In the effort to obtain still greaterpurity of reception, the engineers ofthe London Broadcasting Station (2LO)have recently produced and put into ser-vice an entirely new typo of microphons,.which seems to have no natural fro-quency period, and therefore gives ex-tremely faithful, if not perfect, repro-duction of all audible frequencies. At.the same time, this microphone is ex-tremely insensitive. It requires the useof a-.four-valve amplifier to bring itsoutput up to the equivalent of goodspeech ia an ordinary telephone. Thi»microphone consists of a powerful electro-magnet of the type which has a singleround core on. which the winding isplaced, and a circular casing,, so that,between the central core and the casingthere is an intense magnetic field. ,Th»"diaphragm",.is a pancake coil offinr>aluminium wire, placed in the field, andheld there by a most remarkable sus-pension, designed to check accidentalvibration and damp out any movementwhich is not due to an actual sound-wave. Small' bits of cotton wool smear-ed with vaseline are used to stick thediaphragm coil to the magnet, and thatis all. The vaseline suspension is amakeshift, of course, and will no doubtgive place to a more permanent vib-rationless. cushion.

Resonance on a telephonic transmitterand receiver is due- to, the elasticity ofthe diaphragm and to 'its weight. The2LO apparatus retains some -weight, butpractically abolishes elasticity. Thereis in existence a very interesting micro-phone on Which the sensitive element,has no weight and can scarcely be saidto have elasticity. This is the "glowdischarge" microphone. ■ It is a verysmall ; affair, containing two metalpoints dose together.- The applicationof a high voltage across these pointscauses a continuous discharge in thenature of a glow, which is sensitive tosound vibrations and indicates their fre-quency and magnitude by changes in re-sistance. As the discharge. has no ap-preciable inertia it responds equally toall. sound frequencies. . ''Many experimonters have tackled theproblem of the loud-speaker: The micro-phone offers at least as1 interesting iifield for research.. It may not promisesuch big returns to the man who suc-ceeds in Finding what is wanted, butexperiments in microphone work seemlikely to bo less costly, and to requireless workshop equipment, than the con-struction' of loud-speakers. The weak-nesses in the present microphone situa-tion have already been indicated. Theyare'that if a microphone passes' a bigoutput, it does so by virtue of its reson-ance; and if'resonance-is suppressed,the sensitivity is reduced and the out-put is so small that valve amplificationis required. There seems no reason whythe two' qualities of sensitivity and non-resonanco should be incompatible; andthe solution of the puzzle may prove,/sooner or later, to be ridiculouslysimple. :

THE CAR OF THE FUTURE

Everyone vknows'the-story of the boywith the-b_ow and arrow. When ridi-culed for. aiming at the moon, instead ofat something that he could hit, he- re-plied that his arrow went higher whenhis aim was higher.

This, has: been the guiding principle ofMr..'Charles IT. Kettering, president ofthe General Motors Eesearch Corpora-tion, who is also actively connected withmany other great industries in America."Why must a man get out into the mudto crank his car?" Kettering asked liim-.self. And out of that question came arevolutionary system'of-starting, light-ing, and ignition for automobiles. "Whatsort of car is-the automobile of the fu-ture going to be?" The question land-edKettering1 wherehe is to-day, in-chargeof the largest; laboratories of the kindin the world. - ■■ . - . . .■

"Do you think," he was asked, "thatthe automobile' of to-day is .just, us per-fect as if ever willbe?". "Perfect!" hesnapped. ".Do you mean to tell me thatif you could 'wish for any kind of anautomobile you wanted, you would wishfor the noisy, expensive, bumpy thingwe sell.you. now? Not on your life! Youwould ask for a limousine that wouldweigh less than a'-thousand .pounds, costless than a; thousand,dollars, and run'somiles on a,gallon of gas. Some day wemaybe able to give 'you something likethat.. One .thing you can be sure of, thecar, of.the future isgoingto be as muchbetter than the oar of to-day as the carof to-day is better than an ox-cart. Noteverybody believes that. There are lotsof folk with ox-cart minds."

Kettering. aims high, .like; the boy atthe moon. "First of.all, you've got toform the habit of thinking about prob-lems audaciously, even, extravagantly.""". "How long, does it take-you to put acar through the-paint' shops?" he askedan automobile manufacturing' company.

'Thirty-one days/ they answered."All right," he said, "let's start by

trying--to find some way.'of' finishing .a-car in an■hour;" :■■"'■-

They threw up their hands, in holyhorror. "It.can't be done,' they said.

"Why not?" .. ' ..:. "The paint won't dry." . ■. "Is there anything you can do to''hurry the drying ?"

"Ntf." "■ .- '. ; ."All right, then, let's get anotherkind

of paint." : ■ , -So he looked round, and finally found- acertain sort'of enamel-like- paint, whichis used on little metal, objects—match-boxes _and_ toilet articles and the like.He. tried, it spraying on the side of a,car with an airbrush,; and the onlytrouble was that it dried so fast that ifthey didn't hold the brush right close upto the car the paint would-be hard be-fore it hit the surface! :: "Well, to make a long stoiy short, weactually did finish a, car in about annour.' Ofcourseit wasn't exactly a hand-some job, but it laid the founda-tion for some real results'. And thepoint I want to make is that we neverwould have obtained those results if wehad started to cut the 31 days down to30, or to 25. But by starting extrava-gantly, and1 aiming at cutting down 31days to an hour,, we did get some-where."

ETIQUETTE: The.owner of the automobile 'should!always, take a seat on. the.right. He!gets left enough as it is; "''.-'"■'.

When, meeting another cap driven bya woman at an, intersection always re-member the old adage, "Ladies'first,"and courteously grant her the ri"ht ofway. She'll take it, anyway.

MELBOURNE MOTOR-BUSESGravely concerned at the inroads' made;upon its traffic by the competition ofmotor-buses, the. Melbourne and Metro-politan Tramways Board has stated thecase for the retention of the trams, says'The Australasian." On lines wherecompetition is keenest, the loss of tramtraffic is as much as 25 per cent al-ready, and there is indication that ittoU soon be,greater. It is pointed outtnat if the tramways should be jettison-ed an annual revenue of some £400 COOmust be ■■ found frojn; other sources' tomeet the necessities of. State- and muni-cipal government, and a plea is madethat the burdens of : trams and busesshould be made approximately equal. Inrelief-of Government and municipal ex-penditure every tram at present paysi-500 a year, as against an annual pay-ment, by :the_ larger . buses \of only £7.All this special pleading, however, dis-regards'the fact that the buses'havecome in response to a public demandwhich the Tramways Board lacked "theforesight to anticipate. The. only busi-nesslike response the board 'can make tothe competition of the buses is to im-prove its services, reduce its fares, or. ifit, thinks tit, conduct, bus services itselfor, indeed, do all-these things. Thopublic has (suffered from the board'svirtual monopoly-of street traffic in thepast. ;Now new methods of street trans-portation have come to the relief of. thepublic. Instead of endeavouring to pro-vide the public with a bettor service, theboard, with the. aid of the- Tramways

union and other interested organisations,has confined itself to an endeavour; tosustain its monopoly and destroy compe-tition. Various means of achievine thisend are suggested. One is that the "boardshould, control all means of transport,.Another is that the buses should hetaxed off tho streets. It is clear thatthe public will have none of them, andthat the board must devote its energiesto a" constructive solution of the prob-lem. r

A. well-known writer. Mi1. E. VLucas, has been recording his experi-ences ot motoring lately. Two thine*amaze him about motorists. One is Oxef-placidity m private life; for his' own.nerves are already in rags, not fromthe risks he has been running, althoughthese' are not negligible, but from thoirritation caused % delays- hi London

traffic. "I find myself," he says, "whoam typical, boiling with fury at everyblock; and such rages you would thinkmust leave their mark. But no, noton others. The ordinary motorist alightsfrom his car as serenely and behaves as-courteously and easily as. though'" he' hadjust' risen from restorative and' dream-less sleep." The- second thing thatamazes Mr. Lucas about motorists istheir apathy; their almost brutish ac-ceptance of disorder, foolishness, ahort-sightednees ; their :bovine disregard ofths idiotic state of congestion'into whichLondon has been allowed to -drift. "Idon't mean," he says, "merely that they.'refuse to let/ it worry them; but thatthey appear to have no kind of interest

getting it put right." ,"

The light-weight motor-cycle cham-pionship of New" Zealand will bo decidedatRotorua* on Labour Day. This should,be one of the most interesting races ofthe yeai'. Among the probable entries,are the Norton, tlris -year's T.T. winner,the A.J.vS., holder of fastest T.T..J lap,the Connaught, with the Blaokburhe en-gine, which established aworld's recordfor the 350 o.c. class, at over 100m.p.h., and the Douglas, which last year,won the T.T., and was so prominent. inBrooklands records. Besides these, it isrumoured that a new 500 c.c. Harley-Davidson may be present, and, if riddenby Coleman,' it certainly will be in therunning. .'""■■" '-'■' :

A very progressive and influentialbody is the Marlborough AutomobileAssociation, which has . made greatstrides during the past twelve or-.eigh-teen months. It was reported at the lastmeeting -that the membership was nowbetween 180 and 190, and some 97 mem-bers had already paid their subscriptionstor the ensuing year (says "Ignis" inthe Marlborough " Express ■").' From afeeble and poverty-striken body which,owing to the indifference of its mem-bers, frequently had difficulty in payingits way, tho association has developedhvto. a solid organisation, with a usefulcredit balance at the bank, despite thefact that it has spent a considerable sumin providing,road and'school signs, andgenerally in. forwarding the interests ofmembers.

■When cutting;out washers from paperor thin jointing material, a certainamount of'difficulty is often experiencedm making the small holes for the bolts.The ball peen of the hammer is. gener-ally used, but,' as this is often ratherbattered, it is difficult to cut out thesmall circles neatly. This difficulty, canbe quite easily overcome by using a steelball, the diameter of which- is a triflegreater than that of".'the hole, and tap-ping this into the hole with the.hammer.This will cut a neat disc out of thewasher. . - - - -One of the most- popular forms ofmotor-cycle reliability .contests in NewSouth Wales and Victoria appears to be.the 24 hours' test. The annual- all-dayand night jcxm of the Victorian MotorCyclsClub took place recently, and drewa record field of 94 starters, tho majoritycf ,whom drove side-car outfits. Thelength of the course varied according,tothe, class of machine ridden—from 400to 450 miles. At the half-way noctrol atCastlemaine some 73 . rides checked-in,whilst; 56 covered the full course, a.verysatisfactory, result considering the factthat.-isome sections of the route werorough and heavy. Machines were sub-jected to: an expert examination at thefinish of the run, and points will be de-ducted for adjustments, repairs, etc.,according to a penalty schedule whicliwas embodied in tho conditions of the!test. It is probable that close on thirty:riders will score- full -points for ridingto the.;s time schedule throughout., -Thefiiiarresult of the run is not yet.avail-,able. . "■ Under the caption, "Now Zealand;Road Conditions," the British motorjournal, the "Autocar," publishes. thefollowing:—" An indication of ,tho Toadconditions encountered in one of Great;Britain's most progressive Dominions— '■New Zealand—is conveyed by a descrip-tion which has. been sent us of a motor-car trip 'from.Wellington-to- Auckland by:"Dr. Gerald llussell. In one section, lie.says, great holes and great'lumps:abound'everywhere. Time after timo it was'necessary to pull up dead. He'met anew car with all the water boiled out.of its radiator, duo to a slipping' belt,and the owner pouring in. ginger beerand lemonade, much to the chagrin ofa weeping child, whose favourite bever-ages were thus disappearing. Of an-other portion, of-the route-lie says.: Im-agine a clay track for twelve.miles uphills, with a surface as if dozens of men;liad deliberately set out with, spades todig holes every yard. !In some placesthe holes were'sufficient to capsize anycar. There is no room to avoid them.One, must stop dead, and drop in-andclamber out. In one hole I could, see.nothing but the sky as I clambered out,and my wife had to get out and see..whether'the next Hole was immediatelyin.front or at the side." "The description soxmds strangely fam-iliar,., though the word Rangiriri is not:mentioned. '...'..

Ships and the SeaANARCTIC EXPEDITION

The ice.'elds of tl}e Arctic" with theirperils and hardships have attracted yetanother expedition of adventurers. It isstated that Captain Algarsson \vith ninecompanions was. to have left Erith,Kent, last month in a 60-foot ketch forthe cold regions of the North. The partyisregarded as probably the youngest andsmallest that' ever set sail,, the captainand some of the.members of the expedi-tion being under 24 years of age. The■immediate destination of the voyagers isIceland. Thence, cruising from Franz-Josef.Land to the coast of. Greenland,they intend proceeding to New Yorkjwhere they hope to arrive in December'1-revision for 250 days were being takenAboard ship .every available foot ;ofspocoJias boen used, but there is a darkroom for the cinematographer, and aehartroom for the navigation officer, Mr'Hewson, R.N.R., whom Captain Algars-son first met when he was one of Mr.Hewson's rescuers in Pacific waters.

A FAMOUS LIFEBOAT.Among the many interesting marine■exhibits at the British Empire Exhibi-tion is the boat in which the: captainand part. of the crew of the Trevessamade tlieir historic voyage to safety afterthe sinking Of that steamer. According-to the "Syren and Shipping," a collec-tion is made from, those who inspect theboat and the proceeds.are being allocat-ed to the training ship Indefatigable,which-is anchored in the Mersey, and

A DIFFICULT SALVAGE JOB.The wtocked steamer Baron V"emo>ihas at last been successfully laised fromthe bed of the Itivei Clyde and placed

in dry dock m Glasgow It is well ovra >oar since she sank on the lowcileaches of the river, after being in collision with the Canadian Pacific linerMet<igama Salvage operations werecommenced shortly afteiwards by ibeQueenstown Salvage Company, say theSyien and Shipping," and Mi HenriJlnsor of that concern his stated thatthe raising of the Baron Vemon provedthe most difficult job he has had anytiling to do iuth in hi, forty jears' expenence.

SCOTLAND S FISHERY PROTEC-TION BOATSThe practice of illegal fishing alongthe Scottish Coast sheuld be decreasedconsiderably: by the fleet ol speed boats

which are to be employed. Several far,*;auxiliary motor-cruisers havo been ord-'oredby thaiFishery Board for Scotland,reports an,-English ■'shipping magazine,and tho first of these, the. Eona, wasrecently, s completed at... the-''yards ofMessrs: John I. Thornycroft and Co.,of London. :The Kona is quito a newdeparture for sea fishery■ protection ser-vices, being of the hydroplane or skim-ming, boat' design and having" a- maxi-niura speed of well over 33 knots.; Thisspeed is very useful for the detection ofany vessels taking part in illegal fish-ing, as it generally means that an offend-.er will be caught redhanded before it ispossible. to» run away, and it is hopedthat deliberate ;open "' defiance of thofishery laws by steam trawlers to 1!bpchecked; byv using such craft. The hullof the vessel'is identical with the fam-ous 55ft coastal motor boats constructedby Messra. Thornycroftl in numbers forthe Admiralty during the v^ir, and ex-tra storage for fuel to increase the radiusof action is provided. The boat is con-structed on the firm's patent single-stepsystem, the hull being built up of double-:skin. mahogany,-copper fastened to tim-bers of: American elm. The step isformed by a third skin worked in fromforward to just' about amidships. Whenat speed the boat rises on (^Ystep andso skims'over the surface -it the water.Ease in manoeuvring and control hasbeen studied'very carefully in the con-struction of-the Eona, and the vessel'sspeed may be varied from 5 to 30 knotsin a few seconds.

A CAPTAIN'S WATCH.Endowed with the rxrwer of speech, agold watch, the property of: a New Zea-

land tugboat captain, would, no doubt,be.'able, to relate a romantic story of itstravels. ■ It is stated that while leaningover the rail in the spring of. 1901, thewatch dropped out of the- ckipper'3pocket into the Jiarbour, and was notseen, again until recently, -when the po-lice noticed his name on. a. watch m apawnshop. . Investigations showed thatthe timepiece had 136611 dug- up l)y adredge in 1914 and pawned by one-ofthe workmen,'so that it had spent tenlong years at the bottom of. the harbourand ten more on the shelves of a pawn-shop. .'

THE CARGO SHIP'S "SURGERY."Even in" this age. of -up-to-the-minuto

ships, says a Sydney journal, a voyagein a tramp.steamer is still a venture intothe unknown, not for any geographicalreason," it is true, but "because in cargoboats under the Red Ensign they play atdoctors, or, in other words,, everyone onboard who requires -.'medical attention is"doctored" by men who are both un-qualified and'inexperienced. Why thisshould be. no one appears -clearly to un-derstand.'. The shipowner says that doc-tore are necessary,-but only in liners,since", every: cargo., boat skipper Ims amedicine chest, to . dispense, from, be-sides a book of words, and. in additionto that? the officers all hold a first-aidcertificate, and there is always the pos-sibility of calling- a .liner's' docto.v bywireless. The actual.'treatment""of theinjured is carried out in this manner."For insUvuce. a man may fall to the bot-tom of \>,n cmtity hold, wlißro he lands■with; a. broken leg ;he is. hpis'Uil up andt-iken into the saloon, laid on the table,and as a. preliminary msaatire, liberailvdosed wifch brandy",7 theu in coins tie

handiest first-aid man available, usuallythe second mate; who, assisted by thesteward, sets out to do what he can. Themedicine chest is frantically searched for Isplints and bandages, lint, and what 'else they think they ought to need, andafter 'considerable delay the poor man ishandled according to the diagrams in thefirst-aid book, and not always withmarked success. Then; likely as not,the mate looks, in, and, after giving thewhole..bandaging arrangements a """ fewcritical glances, he promptly informs theother two that it was a jolly good thingthat he came in when he did, otherwisethe poor man would have been maimedfor life. And so, in obedience to themate, who probably knows no more'about bone-setting than anyone else onboard, the "bandages are unwound andthe whole! thing done over again. Noend. of incidents such as these happenat sea, and the reliability of the treat- ..rnent meted out to the sufferer can bewell imagined. j

THE CUTTY SARKRECEPTION TO OLD I

MASTER"■" ■ ■ !

A MEMORABLE GATHERING, |

STORIES OF THE BOYS UNDER jSAIL. ■.' j

"'■■'. ' ' I"Oh ,Monday.at Faimoiith Captain'Woodget will take command again of thesliip he loves so well, and the soul ofthat great ship will awake to life, again.I am. going, down myself to take the-wheel at which I first learnt to steerforty'years ago, and will say 'Aye, aye, sir' tomy old commander." ■. ',

The room in Anderton's Hotel in'Fleet Street roared as it never had be-fore in its long history of celebrations asthe brown-faced -steady-eyed nien of theSeven Seas Club and the Anchoritereacted to theso words of Captain ,Milieu, once mate of the Cutty Bark,that.stirred them all deeply. The fam- ''ous skipper of the Cutty Sark, in tileemotion of the night, looked for a mo-ment his 78 years., writes J.8., in "The ■Manchester Guardian." - ,

Captain Woodget is a small. " wliitebearded man whom no landsman1 would itake for a sailor, although his featureshave a peering look and recede a littleunder the dpmo of his head, as thouf'i-blown in by strong winds and beatin;.; :seas, and his hands are "rope-hookey "'as sailors sa\ and still strong and hardfot all his }e,ni "An old man eloquentthey sny of nncient active statesmen, anold ina-tei manner this whose eloquencnspoke only to the initiate of the'sea. Tothe shoreman he looked like a little localpreacher in his old-fashioned black coatand black tie.

SERVICE IN SAIL.Captain Woodget did not reply to the

toast The voice that had loaied againstthe Uinpest m the 'seventies and 'eighties co ild not now be heard m Anderton's room, and his return to'sea'.lifeand. the welcome of,his fellows had un-■ erved'the old man so that his hard oldI ands shook as ho clutched his goldwatch chain So his old appi entice,Captain Millett, spoke for him, .and oftenthe dd man pulled the speakei up toqualify 01 explain a point

Capt-nn Millett told the great storyof the Cutty Saik that i-, now populai Instory, the greatest sailing ship m hiswry, not for her records, although shehad many, but for the consistent won-dei of her sailing so that people couldcount on her arrival in and out to Aus-tralia within a day She is now 35 She.was built to race the Theimopoloe, thegreatest chppei of hei time and proofsthat she was better than the Thermopoloewere discussed again.( They raced, only once, and the CuttySaik lost her lubber and eleven days mmaking the finest juryrudder ever made,yet bhe came in only six daj& behind heirival. She had never made passages liketho American ships Lightning,, JamesBayes, 'and Sckoinberg, but tnfeir fineships were three times her "size andspread of canvas, and were passengerships ablo (.o cany 5000 tons of caigo,and . carrying 1400. The Lightning hadmade 436 miles in 24 hoars; the CuttySark had averaged five hours at 1 knotan hour and had averaged 13 knots forseven days.

CAPTAIN MILLETT'S REMTNIS-: ■ . ■ CENCES. . ' '"■■ Captain Millett an his. narrative gavesome of his own reminiscences; -.Hewas apprentice in the Cutty Savk underMoore before Woodget. took ovei\ "Iwas at the wheel in < the South-EastTrades/ he said,', "close-hauled, andMoore was walking .back and forwardmuch strung up, although, being a hoy,II did not see what was happening as Ihe did. At last he. broke out: 'Here,my boy, don't you-ever forget all yourlife that we are going. 15 knots full,and by, and that's going.' ".. Captain Millett many years aftar-wards when in Sydney .saw the log ofthe crack ship Britannia; showing thatshe liad come up at 14.7 knots", and anofficer of the Britannia told him whenthey were, coming along like that.itwas reported that a ship was coming upon them. He couldn't believe it,-but.sure enough, "there, was our famousfriend in the Cutty Sark coming up and.past, and was inside Sydney Heads be-fore the Britannia arrived." " . ,

He denied .thai the Cutty Sark wasa wet ship, and gave instances that im-pressed the gathering. Ships were shipsin those days, ana commanded by suchmen as Captain. Woddget.

THE RETURN OF THE CUTTYSARK.__ He told the Inter history of the Cutty

Sark, which, after years., in--'bonda-gowith'her tall masts cut down and sail-ed in another rig under, an alien flag,had at last' returned to the British flag,rigged as in her great days by thegreat-hearted act of Mrs. Bowman andCaptain Dowman. The Cutty Sark, un-der Captain Wpodget, is sailino- onMonday from Fabuouth to Fowey. 'where-slio will he the. flagship of the regatta.The great mariner "swallowed- the an-chor" in 1898 and has been living inthe depth of the country until CaptainDowman, having rescued the old CuttySark, asked the old commander to goon board again. , ■ '.. . ; !The other speeches at the gatheringincluded n very interesting one fromCaplain Dclix Riesenheru:. "of the Ame-rican cadet barquentine ' Newport nowlyinp.at Gravesend. He said, to theenthusiastic assent of. .the gathering,that a sailor must be trained on sail bo-cause the law of. sail was emergency,and a sailor. Wjhether of steam or sailmust have that in his bones - '.--Another speaker ileploivd the all-Sfnce of anvthiticr ivl;Ue.l !o the mer-cantile . miirino in the E-mpmv Kxhibi-tion. 'Without the niorwintilo. marinawould (liere haye1 been an Empire?
