HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Save the small thin cork discs foundin all crimped-tin bottle-caps. Whenglued to the bases of ashtrays, etc.,they prevent these articles from scratch-ing the surfneo of polished tables.
When making jam tarts, heat thejam to almost boiling point. The pas-try will be delightfully crisp, and neversodden, as it is when cold jam is used.
Empty cotton-reels screwed on to thekitchen wall, and enamelled to tone,make very good rustproof hangers fortea-towels, etc.
Vclour and felt hats can be fresh-ened by steaming as you would velvet.
Never clean windows while the sunis on them, or they -will dry withsmears.
When cutting out anything to b<>made in velvet, put the pattern onthe wrong side of the rtyiterial. Thecutting will be far easier, and the pin-marks will not show on the righff side.
Keep a separate all-rubber plate-scraper for removing cake mixture,cream, etc., from bowls. Dry carefullyafter cleansing, and keep in airy place.
To prevent fat from splashing outof tho pan when frying fish or saus-ages,* ruh the inside of pan with com-mon salt before commencing to fry,empty salt out, and fry in fat as usual.Although the fat bubbles, it will notspit 011 tho clean stove.

FLYING ANGEL MISSION
"THANK YOU" SOCIAL HELD
CREW OF THE RANGITANEThe junior members of the Ladies'
Harbour Lights Guild, with, theirfriends, as well as representatives fromall the merchant ships in port, wereentertained at the Flying Angel Mis-sion last evening by members of thecrew of the Bangitane, at a ' Thankyou" social. The entertainment was

THE CONVALESCENT
MORE INTERESTING DIET
VARIATIONS IN DISHES
To vary the dishes for the convales-cent in a small household and to makethem less insipid is not always easy.Home-made wafer-thin water biscuitsare a change from toast. Soup may beserved as a jelly in a deep cup. Fishmay not,-, as a rule, be offered fried,but grilled lightly it is often permitted.Poached fish is tasty. The fillet is putin a little stock and cooked in the ovenunder butter paper. When cooked it isdrained and placed on a moist omelette,which is folded over. Instead of saucemade with fat, one may, be made ofhot milk poured over yolks N of eggs,stirred in a double saucepan till asthick as cream, and seasoned withherbs. This may be added to fish orcauliflower hut sauce should not bepoured over invalids' food, for it makesit sodden. It should be served separatelyin a little lipped jug.
A baby's plate, the edges of whichcurve inward, is always useful for bedmeals which must be liquid, and thehousewife will find that the inconsid-erable expense of a bed-table is wellworth while.
Another change is provided by deli-cate sandwiches. Beef is sustaining,and is very digestible if, for instance,rump steak is stewed in stock till ten-der, pounded and passed twice throughthe mincer, flavoured with a little sauceand then used in~thin»white bread andbutter. Tt may be stored in a jar undermelted butter.
LITERATURE PRIZE
FEMINA VIE HEUREUSE
The Committee of the Femina VieHeureuse, which gives a yearly prizefor a -work of imagination, has begunits sittings in Paris. Books are beingread and reports arc made on them.When the French prize has beenchosen, a set of books is selected tohe sent to the London committee, sothat it can choose the one to beawarded the English prisie.
It is not so much the money valueof these prizes that is coveted byyoung writers as the publicity theybring in their train. The prize isusually translated, the English bookinto French and the French "book intoEnglish.
Mary Webb, Rosamund Lehmannand Margaret Kennedy are among theEnglish women who have been givenprizes by the Femina Vie Heureusecommittee. Among the French writerswho have been given the prize in Eng-land are Jean Giono, Suzanne Lenor-mand and Julian Green.
MINIATURE GARDENS
A London woman gardener whospecialises in making miniature gardenson window ledges has already bookedmany orders for Coronation window gar-dens, and her floral colour schemes, car-ried out on a tiny scale, will show thesplendour of purple aubrietia, crim-son saxifrage, and white alyssum.
Growing her plants in a charmingold-world garden in Kensington, theartist makes up her gardens in herstudio. She specialises in children's win-dow gardens, and one she had carriedout for a boy's nursery had a wind-mill and a well.
Princess Elizabeth has a miniaturegarden designed by this gardener; itwas given to her by a friend nnd isplaced near the Welsh dolls' house atQueen Elizabeth's Windsor home. Ithas a charming Grecian temple and anold-world stone seat set in between thelittle plants.
GERMAN WRITERVICKI BAUM'S TROUBLES *'
£3OOO FROM "GRAND HOTELSVicki Baum, idol of the Xew
working girl, and author of theseller, "Grand Hotel," and otji§jnovels, fluttered into London recentlyand exploded the idea that Holly ffoo( j'had made her the highest-paid *01535writer in the world. " I wish it v&jatrue," sighed the blue-eyed, blonde Jrifigwho left Germany five years agowrite for the movies. When interviewin London Miss Baum announced herintention of returning immediately to'Hollywood—to look for work. ,||||"I am out of a job," Miss Bang,
said, " I wanted to work in Londonso much, but when 1 tried to g«tjob with Alexander Korda they did notwant me. I could never make a living,writing novels. People think I made;*;fortune out of 'Grand Hotel.' but whenit was all over—the play, the bookthe picture—l received only £3OOO fromit. Unfortunately I bad very bad eon.tracts."
EVENING MAKE-UP
ATTENTION TO THE EYES1
CARE IN ARTIFICIAL LlGrfl#Even those who scorn the use of
make-up during the day-time usuallylike to use it in the evening. IHiere tare few faces, however lovely, whichdo not need a little niake-tip, skilfullyapplied, to enable theni to look theirbest in artificial light. There are :manycosmetics which are intended for even-ing occasions. They would look a littletoo artificial during the day, but atnight they add just that touch of charmwhich makes us look our best. Tobegin with, you will want a specialfoundation lotion, which will not onlyhold your powder in place for severalhours, in spite of the warm atmos-phere, but which will also hide any tern-porary blemishes such as enlarged:,pores or slight sallowness.
Dark marks under the eyes due totiredness can be disguised by means ofa little eye-shadow of the same colouras the marks smoothed over the upperlids. But, if your eyes are fresh andyoung, then use a cream eye-shadow onthe upper lids only—a shadow vritn ahint of star-dust in it. You can haveit to match your eyes, of course, butit is great fun to experiment withother colours, too. For the lashes yourffight try a little cream eye-black,which is applied with a little stick. Itleaves the lashes lustrous, instead ofdry and stiff. You can make any handslook twice as lovely in the evening bycovering them with a preparation whichsoftens and whitens them, besides dis-guising any small blemishes.
If, however, your face is not veryyoung, or is just more tired thanusual, then you must rest and reviveit beforehand with one of those mar-vellous preparations which are iuyalb-able when, you cannot pay a visit tothe beauty salon. If your face is feel-ing below par, then a facial cocktailwill brace it up and make it feel beauti-fully fresh. There is, too. aj|ream packwhich erases wrinkles quickly. Spreadit, leave it for 15 minutes and thensponge it off with tepid water.
There are other cream packs, whichfreshen and rejuvenate your fare, forthe evening. Experiment beforehandto find which is most beneficial foryou, and try a stimulating cream, whichis excellent to use while you are get-ting ready for an evening party.
COCKTAIL TIT-BITS
USEFUL SAVOURY MIXTURES
If you have a refrigerator, you can '
keep a supply of savoury mixtures forcocktail tit-bits. You will find thettuseful for sandwiches as well, orpfor anoriginal hors d'oeuvres. In Amerksi theyare fond of serving some particularlytoothsome pate with butter and tinybiscuits for odd snacks.
Americans are particularly fond ofchicken livers prepared in the follow-ing way: Cook eight chicken lirers inwater until they are very tender, andthen drain and beat to a cream with,six tablespoonfuls of cream, four table-spoonfuls of butter and a "teaspoonfulof onion salt. Season well, put into asmall jar and cover. This will keep fortwo or three days in your refrigerator.
Another good mixture is called mockcaviare and is me.de with cod's roe.Put a large roe in boiling salted waterand cook for 45 minutes. Drain, cooland skin. Pound with about three table-spoonfuls of olive oil and two olf lemonjuice, and when creamy, tone it UPwith a little French mustard and agrain or two of-cayenne.
If you like crab or lobster, you canuse either a fresh-cooked fish or thetinned variety. Pound the yolks oftwo hard-boiled eggs with a httlfllemon juice, season very well withsalt, pepper, a teaspoonful of Frenchmustard and a spook of cayenne,add the crab or lobster meat and atablespoonful of cream. This is bestused the same day. ;
Fish net scarves are charming for summer. They are smart with sportsclothes or on the beach and chic with town outfits. They are triangu'ar»and easily made with about two ounces of three-ply wool and a boß#
hook—just chain and double crochet.

THE WOMAN'S WORLDCORONATION ROBES
VELVET FOR PEERESSES
FULFILLING regulations
attendance at ceremony
The coronation, to ii peeress of GreatBritain, is not the simple and rela-tively inexpensive occasion it may beto the ordinary woman. It means con-siderable expense for entertaining andlarge dress bills. For the ceremonyalone, it entails a cost of velvet("Royal Quality") at £5 a yard.
Peeresses commanded to attend atWestminster Abbey are obliged to wearfull robes, according to their degree,and those who do not have the goodfortune to own such robes (and veryfew do) must lie prepared to pay any-thing from £IOO to £SOO for the kirtleand mantle which correspond to theofficial description. These garments aremade up of velvet, miniver and ermine.
It sounds prohibitive until you re-member that velvet is hand-woven, andis in all its processes so complicatedthat even the cost price is deemed "ex-tremely reasonable" by conservativemanufacturers.
Official Description of RobeThe official description of a peeress'
robe is "a kirtle of crimson velvetwith a narrow edging of miniver, scal-loped in front, plain otherwise. Thekirtle, which may be fastened citherat the back or at Hie front, opensfrom the waist, widening gradually, tothe ground.
"It may also bo gathered back inthree festoons, each tied with a bowof gold tinsel.
,
"The sleeves, which are about nineinches long, have two narrow rows ofminiver, below which are live lappetsvarying in length; the outer one threeinches, the inner one one inch, eachedged in a similar manner with inini-Veorer this is worn a mantle on whicha cape of miniver pure is "powdered"with bars or rows of ermine, erminein this case meaning narrow pieces ofblack fur, and miniver the white furcommonly known as ermine.
Degrees o! ImportanceDress regulations have to be exactly
followed. Degrees of peeresses are indi-cated bv the width ot the miniver edg-ing the'mantle, the length of the train,and the number of ermine "bars" onthe cape.
A baroness is entitled to a train threefeet on the ground, two bars of ermine,and a two-inch wide edging of borderto her mantle.
A viscountess: Train, 1-i yards; barsof ermine, 2i; edging of miniver, 2inches.
A countess: Train, 1J yards; bars ofermine, 3: edging of miniver, 3 inches.
A marcnioness: Train, 12 yards, bars,3i; miniver edging, 4 inches.
A duchess: Train, 2 yards, bars, 4;miniver edging, 5 inches.
DELICATESSEN DINNERS
DECLINE OF HOME COOKING
AMERICAN. .HOST'S VIEWS
Before an audience of more than 200culinary herb enthusiasts, Mr. OscarTschirky, host at the Waldorf-Astoria,warned against serving "delicatessendinners" to-young husbands and urgedmothers of brides-to-be to instruct theirdaughters in the art of preparing Rood,wholesome, home-cooked meals, statesthe New York Times.
Mr. Tschirky, who is widely knownas Oscar of the Waldorf, blamed pro-hibition for the decline of home cook-ing. "Cocktail drinking" and the "eraof parties" had deprived young girls ofthe contact in the home necessary forthe development of good taste and ap-preciation of home-cooked food, hestated. A strong educational programmein the' culinary art would lead to morecontented lives for bridegrooms as wellas brides.
The guests witnessed a cooking de-monstration with the use of herbs byMr. Lucien Tourton, banquet chef atthe hotel. Mr. Tourton prepared eggswith sweet herbs in ramekins and breastof chicken. The preparation was accom-panied bv an explanation by Mrs.Rebekah Hufcut, dietitian of the hotel.
Mr. Tourton's recipe for the egg dishfollows:—Four eggs cooked in shellsuntil hard; two tablespoons of mixedfresh herbs (thyrae, basil, summersavory, sweet marjoram and parsley);two tablespoons of butter, salt and pep-per, two cups of cream. Remove eggsfrom shells and mince finely; cook theherbs ip butter for five minutes, beingcareful not to brown the butter; addthe minced cooked eggs, salt and pep-per, well-beaten raw eggs and cream;fill well buttered ramekins with themixture and bake for 20 minutes. Serveat once.
The recipe used for the chicken is asfollows:—Four ounces of sweet butter;balf-a-teaspoon of ground juniper ber-ries; half an ounce of chervil; halfan ounce of chopped tarragon; halfan ounce of parsley; half-a-cup of
good stock; a little bay leaf and thyme;one small glass of good brandy. Sea-son chicken breasts and roll in flour;Put to cook in three ounces of warmbutter for four minutes on both sides;remove from pan and add one ouncesweet butter—warm—add juniper ber-ries, brandy and stock, reducing alittle; add all herbs, bay leaf andthyme;' strain; add rest of the butter,pour over chicken and servo promptly*ith the vegetables desired.

EDUCATING A PRINCESS
PLANS FOR ELIZABETH
PRIVATE INSTRUCTIONPrincess Elizabeth ("Lillibot," at
home), is fast growing up, and be-cause of her importance in the lineof succession to the Throne, special at-tention is being given to her educa-tion, states an overseas journal.
It has been decided, for many rea-sons, not to send the Princess to school.The rumour that she was to attendSt. Andrew's School, in Scotland, wasquite without basis, for it was practi-cally an instruction from the late KingGeorge to the Duke of York that sheshould be privately instructed at homeby competent governesses.
There are many things which a pos-sible Queen Elizabeth would have tolearn which are not included in anyschool curriculum, and the Princessmust be educated as a potential Queen.In consultation with leading education-ists the King has carefully plannedhis daughter's education.

WARNING TO WIVES
STORY OF MOTHER HUBBARD
The sad story of Mother Hubbard,who went to the cupboard and foundit bare, should be a parable taught toevery young wife starting housekeeping.Whatever emergencies arrive, and how-ever much welcome but uninvitedguests overstay their time, at this hos-pitable season of the year, there shouldbe always something in the cupboard tofall back upon. A well-filled store cup-board is capital to the housewife, some-thing to rely on not only for extravisitors, but when the week's money isdepleted.
Here are some suggestions. An extrapacket of mixed herbs, a favouritecereal like lentils, rice or macaroni,a packet or two of custard powder, atin of soup, and a tin or two of afavourite fruit, such as pineapple orapricots. Some corned beef, and youare always spfe for a sandwich or asavoury hash, or good, plain, cold meatand pickles. You can make your storecupboard as large or small as your pursepermits, but if it' is only just one. smallshelf, there should nhvays be a tin ortwo of baked beans, with their sliceof savoury pork.
THE DIVIDED SKIRT
VOGUE FOR CULOTTES
PRACTICAL sports attire
use in evening wearBY BARBARA
Not since trousers for women in theguis? of slacks, beach and cocktailpyjamas, first startled the masculineeye has there been so wholesale an in-novation in the feminine dress worldas that provided by the culotte ordivided skirt. At first it might seemthat the' culotte is but a compromisebetween the masculine conception of a
feminine ideal and that same ideal'sinsistence on freedom. Indeed, perhapsit is so—but what a compromise 1 Theculotto will at one instant lie as cun-ningly demure as the most modestslirt, and at the next allow all theagility of the modern adagio dancer.
Because i-; appeals to every type ofwoman, to those who withstood theonslaught of slacks most of all, theculotte has swept the sports world injust such a way as the beret did 10years back. It is so unquestionablypractical. It concedes none of its (orour) femininity and it is as easy towear as an ordinary skirt.
This vogue for culottes originated inAmerica at the end of last season.During the winter smart young misseswcro to be seen pedalling on a bicyclemade for two all over the UnitedStates, and their almost unanimouschoice of costume was the tailor-madeflannel culotte. When summer cameround the culotte was adopteduniversally. It is now the recognisedattire for tennis, sailing, gardening andhiking.
During the winter Australia laggeda little behind her American cousinsas far as the craze for culottes wasconcerned. Now, when their success hasbeen unquestionably proved, she hastakeu them up with enthusiasm. Everystore has a fine display of styles andwe are learning with joy the comfortof striding as wide as we please, atthe same time being suitably dressedfor even the most conservative ofcountry clubs.
Originally a kind of trousers wornby a French sailor, the culotto firstdeveloped into bell-bottomed calf lengthslacks, and later blossomed into areally full divided skirt. Now there aretwo main species, the culotte properand the dress culotte—a one-piecewhich is built for action, there beingno risk of the shirt hanging out oran embarrassing hiatus between topand trousers.
Before we go any further I want todescribe the culottes in my sketch.The first belong to the culotte dressgroup and is a decorative model inbuttercup tie-silk with a triangular de-sign in navy blue. Navy binds the col-lar, pockets and front opening. Thisis an ideal outfit for the golf course.The other young lady wears thetailored grey flannel culotte of which Ihave previously spoken. As you see theinverted sunray pleat on each leg
makes them action-perfect. The redsuede jacket has an action back too,and. can be belted as tightly as youplease.
For tennis culottes are being shownin chalk white sharkskin with muchpleating in the skirt. This material isideally cool for strenuous sports. Itremains clean looking and it will notcrush. Cottons, too, are being used forculotte dresses and numerous silks,shantungs, tie-silks and silk linens.Printed materials are tremendously at-tractive. Lanz, of Salzburg, used hisqueer peasant prints to make volumin-ous divided skirts which retain a truepeasant flavour. He also edges plainsanforized cotton culottes with em-broidered bands. Paris shows plenty ofculottes marie up in floral silks, inbow-tie piques and in almost any ofthe chintz, cotton and _ sports silkprints on display. There is a notableabsence of stripes and checks.
Because culottes have become sopopular it does not mean that slacksare passe. On the contrary they arenow more important than ever. Theculotte has filled a place that slackscould not. It is more the successor ofthe sports dress than of either slacksor shorts.
And while we are talking of culottesT want you to keep your eyes openfor the divided skirt for evening. Lastseason several of the important de-signers laid the seed for this fashionand the newest collections show num-bers of evening slacks, bloomers anddivided skirts. They are different fromlounging pyjamas in that they are in-tended for formal year. Tf the skirt isdivided it is often indistinguishablefrom an ordinary frock. Evening slacks,on the other hand, are frankly trousersand arc made with very decollete tops,rather in the style of beach pyjamas,but in rich materials. There are long,straight trousers, too, which are de-signed to go under certain sheath-likefrocks. These trousers invariably showa little below the hem. The bloomersare something quite different and aremore like replicas of the original gar-ment worn by the famous Mrs. AmeliaBloomer, or like the flimsy coveringssported by the ladies in a Turkishharem. »
CARE OF TABLE PLANTS
AUTOMATIC WATERING
During the holiday season, manypeople have serious misgivings as towhat will become of their table plantsduring their absence," since this mat-ter, when left to others, is often neglec-ted.
Plants allowed to stand in water rotat the roots and if allowed to become
quite dry the leaves yellow at thetips. The plants should be placed onthe floor in ono of tho coolest roomsin the house, in a position free fromdraughts. According to the numberof pots they should be placed aroundono or more buckets —of, preferably,rain water. Strips of old flannel or
calico, two or three inches wide, are
folded lengthwise and well wetted. Oneend of each is then buried in thesoil, and the other end taken over
the side of the bucket and allowed tosink to the bottom of the water. Thebucket should be raised about one footfrom the floor.
APPLE PIE
This is a delicious variation onordinary apple pie. Peel and chop a
pound of sour cooking apples andsprinkle with four ounces of soft brownsugar. Add the grated rind and juiceof a lemon, and two ounces each ofchopped dates, raisins and sultar.as,also three ounces of blanched andchopped almonds and walnuts. Mix allwell together in a saucepan contain-ing a small piece of butter, stirringwell so that it does not burn. Whencold spread on to a pie plat-e coveredwith pastry. Put strips of pastry criss-
cross over the top and bake in a fairlyhot oven for about half an hour.

Success Guaranteed—or a new husbandby return of post!Last week wc received an urgent S.O.S.from a young friend of ours who gotmarried last December. "Do help mewith some recipes for summer sweets,"she wrote. "I've tried almost every-thing I know on Eric, but can't seemto find anything he really likes." Thisjob of finding summer sweets that menlike is a real problem. They never can
tell you what they want! Well, here sone good plan! Make a point of check-up the sweets your husband and hisfriends like and marking them with an"M" in your recipe book. Blanc-manges made with Brown 8C PoisonCorn Flour are always sure favourites.One of the most popular summersweets with men is Date and WalnutDelight. As we told our young friend—"lf your husband doesn't like this,the only thing we can do is to get youa new husband!"

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIALSTOCKS AND SHARES
THE AUCKLAND EXCHANGE
BUSINESS commences slowly
Business reopened quietly yesterdayon the,Auckland Stock Exchange, whichresumed alter the Christinas and NewYear vacation. There was the usualhesitant tone at. the outset, hut therejs every indication that, the market willquickly recover confidence. A featurewas the general inquiry for hanks, nilof which had firm support. Interest inindustrials was well maintained, withsupplies firmly held. Operations inHietal stocks were ;i lit tin guarded, theniarket hcing affected by the reaction
in Australia owing to the cheek toniet.il prices in London.
Commercials of Australia and NewSouth Wales made the principal pro-gress in hanks. For the former buyersentered the market -kl higher at 19s3d and sellers closed similarly firmer at19s 6d. The Cnion Bank dividend wasapparently a little disappointing, busi-ness taking place Is lower at £loc ss.
The leading insurances were firmlyheld, with support slightly easier than
*pre-holiday levels.A sharp rise in Goldsbrough-Mort on
the levels was a reflection of the settle-ment of the Australian dispute withJapan and the brighter pastoral out-look, particularly for wool. Other classi-fied sections were quiet, with littlechange.
The higher levels for Electrolytic Zincshares was the feature of the miscel-laneous ,group, values advancing insympathy with prices in the Australianmarket. Levels were about 3s betterthan when the market closed. Aus-tralian Glass were firmer, but BrokenHills lost ground.
The market for Government loanswas quiet and easy.

TRADE OF THE WEEKRETAIL AND WHOLESALE
VERY BRISK BUSINESS
REPLENISHMENT OF STOCKS
Exceptionally brisk business is re-ported by wholesale houses in Auck-land, as retail stocks were heavily de-picted in the Christmas rush. Rainover the holidays affected business insome lines, but with a return to normalsummer weather a heavy inquiry forseasonal lines is expected. Tobacco de-liveries for the latter part of thomonth will be despatched to both townand country next Friday.
Indent business is fairly quiet, andmany houses have not received cable-grams since the holidays.
ALMONDSSicily almonds are quoted £5 a ton higher
and shippers advise that further increases arelikely.
HONEYSupplies of honey are practically ex-
hausted. but new season's will be available atthe end of next month.
EASTERN MARKETSA firmer tendency in the markets for pep-
per, sago, tapioca, and nutmeg is noted incablegrams from Singapore. Pineapples aresteady.
DESICCATED COCOXV TThe Colombo market, for desiccated coco-
nut is firm and advancing, with a good de-mand. The price has risen by £3 a tonsince the close of business last year.
FIGSAn advance of Cl Ids a ton in quotation*
for Turkish cooking figs has been cabledby London shippers. Present rates are over50 per cent higher than opening quotationslast June.
CANNED FRUITStocks of both local and Ironical canned
fruit salad are short, one line having beensold out. Pears also are short, and no furthersupplies will be available until the new cropis canned in March.
DRIED FRUITSAn unexpectedly heavy demand has been
experienced for primes and dried peaches.The inquiry usually drops as fresh fruit be-comes available, but at this time of theyear dried fruit is very popular with hotel*and others who find it difficult to gaugeaccurately their requirements.
CALIFOR Nr A X 1? A ISIN SPrices for all grades of Californian raisins
have been advancing steadily for some lime,and cablegrams just received from SanFrancisco notify further increases for hathprompt and forward shipment. Thompsons'unbleached raisins are Is 3d per cwt higher,while golden bleached varieties have ad-vanced from Is (id to 2s per cwt, accord-ing lo grade. Seeded raisins in cartons showin advance of Is Od per cwt. Quotations for
Californian prunes are unchanged.
RICELatest cablegrams from "Rangoon advise
that the market is firm and advancing forMarch-April direct shipment. A mail reportdated December 23 states that the advancein prices at the end of last year was duelo continued interest by Japanese speculatorsand shippers, and also to the fact that Euro-pean buyers followed the, advance. New croppaddy had not come in at all freely andsellers had been unable to cover their com-mitments. This produced a feeling of acutenervousness, so that prices continued lo ad-vance on the slightest indication of furtherbuying by shippers, regardless of whether'here was any business actualy offering.
TARTARIC ACIDAs Spain and Italy are among tho most
important suppliers of tartaric acid andtartrates, recent events in those countrieshave made changes in (he supplies for theBritish market essential. Since April importsinto Great Britain have kept below the1035 levels, which were in turn smaller thanthose lor 1031. The German manufneturei*who usually meet, slightly more than halfthe British demand, increased exports toBritain during the first nine months of lastyear by more than -10 per cent in compari-son with 1035. German exports to of hercountries, especially Latin-America, increasedconsiderably, but these gains are not dueentirely to the absence of Spanish material.As the official German returns show aver-age prices have been steadily, if slowly, re-duced under tho new plan. The productionof tartaric acid and tartrates in the Empire,where and South Africa are favour-ably [dared as regards raw materials, doesnot yet seem to play an important part inthe supply of the British market.
TEAThere was an offering of 2,750.0001b at
this week's Colombo tea auction. Qualitywas barely maintained. There was a gooddemand for all grades, especially for commonand low medium sorts, which advanced '/3 dper lb. All other tens sold well at late rates.Next week's auction will comprise 2,000,0001b.Exchange is quoted at Is (3 0-32(1, 90 days'usance.
The first Calcutta sale this year will boheld next Monday.
A mail report on market conditions inNovember states that, supplies were inclinedto he small, and tlio market generally wasvery firm, prices tending well in sellers'favour. A slightly lower average was realisedon account of lower prices for high-growntens duo to their decline in quality and tothe fact that, no tea with stand-out. flavourwas available. A feature of the month wasagain the continued strong demand for teaswith appearance. Although tlio quality ofthe high-grown teas showed a marked de-cline compared with October, forward mus-ters showed some slight improvement, andimproved teas were predicted. Weather wasfavourable and the crop was coining in well,but owing to the incidence of restrictiona good type of leaf was being taken, so'thatthe quality of medium and high-grown teawas well maintained.

WORLD-WIDE INCREASE
LARGE BRITISH EXPANSION
NEW ZEALAND'S HIGH FIGURE
[from our own cohresroxdkxt]LONDON, Dec. 10
More butter is ln'iproduced andconsumed in the world to-rlay. Whereasthe average person in the United King-dom ate 17.711). in 1929, Inst year hisconsumption was 25.21b. Similarly inNew Zealand, the figure rose from4.'}.61b. in 1929 to 49.Gib. last year, inSouth Africa from 15.41b. to 17.01b.,and in Denmark from 131 b. to 20.911). INew Zcalanders eat the most butter on ia per caput basis in the world.
The average consumption a head for |1935 for countries other than those jalready mentioned was:—Australia ;8<).81b., Canada 80.91b., Irish Free State j41.11b., United States 171b., Germany |16.61b., Belgium 18.(31b., France 12.7ib., jNetherlands 18.81b., Switzerland 15.61b. [
Herd Production Improved
These figures are given by the latest jreport upon dairy produce issued by theImperial Fconomic Committee. It is re-vealed that there has been ;i continuedexpansion of milk production, which ihas meant a greater relative increase in jthe output of milk products, chiefly ibutter. Since 1929 the cow population |in most countries has been increasing, jalthough iu many there has been a de- ]dine in total cattle during this period, jMore important than cow numbers,however, has been the increased pro- jductivity per cow.
Butter consumption has, with lewexceptions, continued to rise, and inthe United Kingdom the increase inthe past six years has been equivalentto 7i Ih. a head. The greatest increaseshave occurred in those countries wheremargarine consumption is a factor, andhave been partly at the latter's ex-pense, e.g., in the United Kingdom andDenmark, countries also in which thefull effect of low prices was felt. Theincreasing consumption was checked insome countries in 1985.
Growth of World TradeWorld trade in butter continued to
increase between 1929 and 1985, duelargely to shipments from Empirecountries. Fx ports from foreign coun-tries, chiefly Furopcan, have declined.These exports reached a peak in 1981,and the subsequent decline may betraced to low prices and increasedtariffs and restrictions in importingcountries Reorganisation of andassistance to the dairy industry has,however, -apparently reversed the down-ward trend in the case of some export-ing countries in the past year or two.
The United Kingdom is the world'schief butter importer, and its share ofworld trade has risen from less thantwo-thirds of the total in 1929 to overfour-fifths in 1985. Actual imports intothe United Kingdom increased by 50per cent in these seven years, and thequantity received from Empire coun-tries more than doubled. Imports intoother countries have declined, chiefly asa result of restrictive measures.

LARGER TIN CONSUMPTION
STEADY GROWTH MAINTAINED
A continued upward trend in tin
consumption is shown in statistics pub-lished m The Hague Statistical Bulle-tin of the International Tin Researchand Development Council. World ap-parent consumption has increased by 14per cent in the year ended September,1986, to 158,751 tons, against 184,916tons in the previous year, while worldproduction figures for the same periodswere respectively 1(56.082 tons and124.585 tons.
In Great Britain there was only asmall percentage increase in the yearended September, 19.36, but in theUnited States consumption increased by2."i. 1 per cent, and in France by 21.5per cent. Consumption in Russia hasagain exceeded all previous records, andhas more than doubled in the last, fiveyears. The increase compared with lastyear is over -52 per cent, and Russianow ranks fourth among the tin-con-suming countries of the world.
Out of the total of 15].200 tons oftin used in manufacture in the yearended September, 19.36, it is estimatedthat 57.200 tons were used in tinplatemanufacture, 12.800 tons in the motorindustry, and 81.200 tons in other in-dustries.

SOUTHERN CROSSASSURANCE
ASSETS NOW EXCEED£1,000,000
LAST YEAR REVIEWED
NEW BUSINESS COMPLETED£604,043
In presenting the 15th annual reportand balance-sheet of the Southern CrpssAssurance Company, Limited, at theannual meeting, the deputy-chairman,Dr. Donald McLean, said that he wouldpoint out that, as previously intimated,the directors had, during the last fewyears, continued their policy of writinga limited amount of new business, inaccordance with actuarial advicesreceived, with the result that a reducedamount of sums assured was obtained.
"The third quinquennium having beencompleted.'' Dr. McLean . continued,"and the reorganisation of the companyestablished in accordance with directors'plans, it has now been, decided toincrease the writing of new business infuture without incurring additionaloverhead expenses. It is pleasing tonote in this respect that the figures forthe current year to date are greaterthan for file corresponding period lastyear.
"You will note that the amount ofdeath claims paid was greater than thatof the previous year (and this is onlyto be expected), but the actuary advisesthat the experience was within theactuarial expectancy of the latest tablesof mortality for insured lives that arenow being employed in the valuationof the policy liabilities of the companyas at June 80, 1986.
"The rate of interest earned on meanfunds has been considerably increasedduring the last few years.
"Thus, from June 80, 1984, the netrate on mean funds increased from£8 18s Id per cent to £4 2s 8d per centon June 80, 1985, and to £4 lis 4dper cent net this year.
Reduction oi Expenses"Although the total premium income
of the ordinary department, new busi-ness. and renewal, decreased by £10,882during the year, thereby greatly handi-capping the reduction of cost per-centages, it is pleasing to report thatthe cost of procuration remained atpractically the same figure as previ-ously. owing to the expenses, newbusiness, renewal, medical fees andmanagerial, being reduced by £BSIB.
"The directors have again written offcertain assets of a non-revenue pro-ducing character, and maintained sub-stantial reserves against freehold pro-perties, debentures and other securities.
"For the first time in the history ofthe company the value of assets haspassed the £1.000.000 mark.
"Last year proxies were receivedrepresenting more than 400.000 shares,enabling a unanimous vote to be givenfor the strengthening of the head officeboard by the appointment of Mr. JohnK. Cannan. solicitor and notary public,Brisbane, and Mr. .Tames yicars, M.E.,M. Inst. C.E.. M. InsL E., Aust.,F.R.A.1.A., Sydney. The original headoffice directors are very grateful forthe services which both of the newdirectors have rendered to the company.
"The retirement of the governingj director and chairman of directors of
; the company was mutually arrangedj between the board of directors and Mr.
' Confov. and accordingly he retired from; all offices with the company held by him
in accordance with the terms of hisI agreement, such retirement becoming
; effective as and from November 14last.
"The directors intend to amalgamatethe positions of governing director andgeneral manager by the appointment ofthe present general manager, Mr. A.Aubrey. F.A.1.5., K.C.C.S., as manag-ing director of the company. There willtherefore be 110 necessity to make anyother executive appointment, and thenew arrangement will be both a bene-ficial and economical one. Mr. A.Aubrey had his early insurance experi-ence with one of the old mutual com-panies. and. after passing through alldepartments, eventually became thegeneral secretary of the Life InsuranceCompany of Australia.

FIFTY YEARS AGO
CABS' SPEED ON CORNERS
Inconsiderate driving is apparent!}not merely an offence which has arisenwith the development of powerful niotoivehicles and the irrepressible desire foimore speed in transport, for even halla century ago Auckland had its trafficproblems. As is shown by the followingparagraph from the New ZealaxiHerald of January 8, 1887, magis-trates then, as now, believed in impressing offenders with the importance olexercising due care when driving:—
"The practice of driving round streetcorners at other than a walking pactis still a common one in the city, ancyesterday three cabmen were before thfPolice Court and fined the nominal sunsof 5s and costs, as none of them hacpreviously appeared before the CourtA batch of similar cases was heard ishort time ago, when fines of 40scosts were imposed. The traffic iiQueen Street is very great indeed, an<with tramcars turning corners quick!}to keep the cars on the lines pedestrians incur great danger when otheiwheeled traffic turns corners sharply.'

His Majesty and the Queen oftenBailed with King George V. in thofamous old vessel, and they are bothfond of yachting and sailing. However,in any case, the King cannot personallypatronise the sport with a new racernext year because there is not timeto build one for tho season of 1937.
When a Royal Prince takes to yacht-racing the effect upon the whole in-dustry of yachting is electrifying. Notonly the class in which the Hoyalcolours fly is enlivened but the wholesport from top to bottom in every class,cruisers, steamers—or, as in moderntimes, motor or power-boats—small sail-ing craft right down to dinghies. Iheincrease in employment, not merelyamong sailors, but in the multitude oftrades employed in constructing andfitting out a yacht is enormous.
Depressions Checked
There are two outstanding instancesof this fact in yachting history, .lustbefore the year 1893 there had beena time when tho tide of yachting waslow. Then King Edward VII.. as Princeof Wales, built the Britannia, andrecovery was instantaneous. The seasonof 1893, when she was built, was longknown as "the best on record."
The other graphic case was in 1920.In tho year 1919, at the end of thewar, when after a complete standstillof four years yachting began again,the sport throughout the country wasat its ltfwest ebb.
Building yards were almost closediflown. Yachtsmen were in despair; thetest judg.?s and those who wereoptimistic said there would be slowrecovery among smaller craft, but theycould not foresee any chance of build-ing larger vessels.
Britannia's Tours
King George V. in 1920 decided tofit out Britannia; his example waspromptly followed by many, and in asingle season the hammers were rattlingin the yacht-building yards throughoutthe country, and there came upon ussuch a revival in yachting as neverhad been seen before. As to the biggestracers, the only complaint, if any, soonwas that they were too big.'
History can only attribute the rapidrevival following 1920 to King George.V. and his Britannia. His yacht visitedevery port on the coast and took partin all the regattas. Her presence madetheir success.
It is futile to deny that yachting istemporarily somewhat depressed r l herowill be no big racing yachts sailing inBritish waters next year, and that oiitself is a misfortune.
The old Britannia, then under theHoyal colours, was responsible for tlintwo. great revivals 1893 and 1920.
From the Firth of Clyde to CowesBoads it is the hope of yachtsmenthroughout this maritime nation that,the King's colours will be flown.

INTEREST in meeting
former winners engaged
FINE fields in main events
PARRISH BELLE TO RACE PACERS
BY ABAYDOS
The final trials of Epsom horses cn-- gaged at Cambridge took place yester-
day. Bismuth. Native Cole and GoldenMaid loft yesterday for the scene ofaction and Audo Patch, Win Huon,Parrish Belle and Aerial Bell will leaveto-day. With events arranged to giveeach class of horse two races, there arcmany duplications in the fields and theearlier form should be a good guide
to horses having their second race.ft is of further interest that many
of the acceptors have previously racedwell on tho.course. Tho last successes of
Baron Grand, Kewpie's Crest, BedFrontier and -Reception wero recordedat the August meeting. Kewpie's Crestwas second in another race. Bed Fron-tier had previously won at Cambridgeand he has put up some of his bestefforts there.
At the last meeting the consistentLuckv Love was twice second, beingbeaten bv Bed Frontier and King'sGuide respectively, and he is again in
* splendid condition.The disappointing Norrie Bock, who
won two events in Southland beforecoining north, registered his onlyplaced performances at the Augustmeeting. Great Sonoma also ran twogeconds" Bismuth and Parrish Bellehave won previously, while Glostcrhas been three times in a minor place.Others to gain places at earlier meet-ings are. Hearsay, Nawton Parrish,
General Sarsfield, Aerial Bell andAudo Patch, and, as all those men-tioned are forward in condition, theyshould again race prominently.
Baron Grand and Kenworthy main-
tain their, positions as main fancies lorthe Cambridge Handicap, but there isa disposition in some quarters to favourImposter. These three pacers racedconsistentlv at the Auckland meeting,and, although ho did not win. BaronGrand's form will tend to make himthe actual favourite. On a dry trackSpessiva and Levity should also go(veil.
, „
In addition to Baron Grand, Ken-worthy ?.nd Imposter, Nawton Parrish,who has two recent wins, will add in-
terest to the Recovery Handicap, whileGeneral Sarsfield and Bolinda Kinghave good prospects. Spessiva andLevity are also smart at the distance.
An interesting contestant is the trot-ting mare Parrish Belle;
holder of themile and a-quarter trotting record, 2.4b1-5, at Epsom. Under suitable conditionsblie is likely to trouble the pacers. Thoremainder of the Epsom candidates,Kewpie's Crest, Lucky Love and GaySister, are going through to-morrowmorning. The fields are of very usefulsize and there should be three placedividends in each race. The first e* entwill start at 11.30 a.m. and a specialexcursion train, leaving Auckland at6.55 a.m., will arrive at 11.2.
UNHOPPLED HORSESFORM OF BABY TRIUMPH
-BY ABAYDOSThe success that attended the slow
class races for straight-out trotters atthe Cambridge August meeting, has en-couraged the club again to cater forsuch events, and with ten novice andimproving horses listed, good contestsmav be anticipated. Two higher-gradetrotters, Parrish Belle and Audo Patchare engaged fvmong the pacers.
Babv Triumph has been five times ina minor place, three times at Hamiltonand twice at Auckland. She lacks dashbut she has registered sound effortstwice at two miles. She should pay ex-penses at Cambridge. .
Although it is six years since shewon All Special showed a glimpse ofform by three useful efforts at Epsom.On the st'cond and third days she wasgiving away three seconds to start, andhad the track remained firm
;she mav
have finished in a place. Racing shouldbenefit the A 1 Mack mare.
. On Her Home TrackReception has not lived up to the
promise she gave when she won thetwo miles Te Koutu Park Handicap atCambridge in August. She worked at-tractively before the Auckland meet-ing but was not in the first day whenthe track was good, and on the laterdays the heavy going did not suit her.She will be racing on her home course.
Sophy Bingen has not displayed thesame form in her latest starts thatmarked her two efforts at the Octobermeeting, when she had been only a fewweeks in R. A. McMillan's stable. Sheis taking a long time to lose her novicestatus, but may score in a moderatefield.
Golden Maid has not had much ex-perience but she may be capable of animproved display on Saturday.
Native Princess has not raced sincescoring her initial success at tho Wai-kato September meeting, but it is inher favoi r that she trots very solidly.
Win Htion, who only returned to therace track last month, after a lengthyspell, trotted useful races at Epsomfrom which he would derive benefit. Hefavours a yielding track.
Great Sonoma's RecordGreat Sonoma has a fino record for
consistency and before breaking his run°f placings for a win, earned sufficientmoney to receive 12 yards' penalty,being the first horse affected in Auck-land under the new rule. Ho scored hisfirst success at Hamilton last monthand- followed on by winning twice atthe Waiyarapa meeting. Great Sonomais a genuine stayer and is not withoutProspects, even from his handicap.Klissa was very disappointing in herra ces at Auckland. This was not hertrue form, as she ran several fine raceslast season, and gave tho impressionthat she'would reach good class. ElissaIs endowed with a rare turn of speeditid only reouires to go solidly.
Waskasu does not appear to have re-covered her form of early last season,jdien ehe scored a good win at Auck-land, although on a few occasions she
' given a glimpse of her betterquality.
Tho interruption to Dick Redwood'spreparation at a time when he wastaking progress was unfortunate.

EPSOM TRIALSLUCKY LOVE'S DASH
FAST TEN FURLONGS EFFORT
WIN HUON TROTS WELL
BY ABAYDOSBy pacing 10 furlongs free-legged at
Epsom yesterday morning in 2.4")Lucky Love was responsible for a brighteffort, while a sound two miles wentto the credit of Gay Sister and WinHuon. The dirt track was in goodorder and horses worked the reverseway in view of the Cambridge meeting.
Aerial Bell (C. G. Leo) worked amile and a-quarter at a 2.21 rate,going well within herself. She put onspeed in a sharp dash along the backand was going easily at the end.
Lncky Love (W. C. Willetts) wassteadied to run the first quarter in 35sand reach the hall'-milo at the samerate. Ho then increased the speed torun the next six furlongs in 1.35 andwas finishing on strongly after showing32 2-5s for the final quarter. LuckyLove revelled in his task and gave a
perfect display of free-legged pacing.As he has repeatedly shown speed whenworked unhoppled and failed to winwhen raced in straps, ho may preferthe free-legged style.
Gay Sister (L. Laver) went away asecond behind Win Huon (C. G. Lee) tofinish alongside the latter at,the end oltwo miles in 4.-14. Win Huon passedthe mile in 2.24. Gay Sister moved uptwo furlongs from home and was goingcomfortably at the finish, taking 1.10for tho fina,: section. She is makinggradual progress. Win Huon, who wongood races for Lee a few seasons agoand was given a lengthy spell, appearsto be regaining form.
Parrish Belie (C. G Leo) was notrequired to go faster thin a 2.22 gaitwhile working a little over a mile anda-quarter. She appreciated the firmtrack and is in splendid condition.
Audo Patch (C. G. Lee) was allowedto trot two mile 3 at a 2.30 rate. Hemay be equal to creating a surpriseamong the pacers in the Te Aroha Han-dicap.
Native Cole, who left early yester-day morning under the care of R. J.Byrne, has done some sound worksince the meeting, although he has 1101
been asked for speed. He has derivedsome benefit from racing and only re-quires to striko his form of two yearsago to have prospects.
A. Brown jogged Dick Redmond onthe sand. He showed no trace of theailment that kept him from racing atAuckland, but the interruption to hispreparation will not he in his favour.
C. H. Goodall exercised Kewpie'sKing, Worthy Song and Torpedo Kingon the sand, but they were not setany exacting tasks. Kewpie's Kiny.■who ran a first and second at therecent meeting, looks greatly benefitedas a result of the racing and when re-quired to race will take a deal of beat-ing.
A. Paton allotted Fisher, GreatFame and Dainty Lady steady work.The last-named is assuming good shape,but the other two, who have not racedfor some time, are big in condition.
YOUTHFUL HORSEMANBOY BEATING PROFESSIONALS
A boy who, at seven years of age,was winning prizes in the children's in-ternational horse shows at Olympia, isnow, at the age of 15, taking hisplace among the leading steeplechasejockeys of the day, states the MorningPost.
"Mr. Hobbs," as young Bruce, theson of the Lambourn trainer, appearson the number-board, has won threeof his last four races against profes-sional rivals.
He has ridden six winners in all, andit is his father's intention to turn himprofessional when he has 15 victories,which would entail his loss of theapprentices' allowance.
Pacing men are going back over 40years to recall a parallel—Percy Wood-land, who rode his first steeplechasowinner when he was'l2 years of ageand rode in the Grand National whenonly 15 years old. "Woodland won theNational in 1903 on Drumcree when18 years old.

NOVICE WINNERSGOOD EARLY FORM
STUDENT PRINCE'S PROSPECTS
BRILLIANCY OF ORATE<
■a vSome of the lesser lights who raced
consistently well during the holidayperiod and attracted the friendly in-terest of students of form are sure tohe claiming a higher status in the near |future and their immediate prospectsare bright.
When in his first race he ran King (Neptune close in the Waipa Plato -Orate was marked down as an earlywinner. The two fields he beat at ,Stratford were not strong, hut heburied them for speed and is obviouslyone who will carry his brilliancy tomuch higher flights. His sire, Oration,was one of the best sprinters in theDominion some 10 years ago, and hisdam is given as the 1022 mare byBisogne from Country Picnic. Thismaro is not on the list of CountryPicnic's progeny in the Stud Book, butno return was apparently made for1922, and registration of the breedinglias been allowed, in the meantime. Ifthis claim is confirmed Orate will claimrelationship with Hoariri, Taneriri,Manawhenua and Horowhenua.
In six starts Petersham, a three-year-old gelding by Shambles from the Ab-surd mare Blush, has won three times,the last two successes being at a mile jand six furlongs respectively at Oamaruon January 2. In the second event |he beat Golden Vision, a younger sister jto Queen Dorothy, who had won a jdouble at Waikouaiti the previous day. j
Southland-trained MareBarley Almond, a four-year-old mare ;
by Lackhain, who was sent to Southlandearly in the season, won two races at jDunedin with great ease. She shouldbe a good winner in the southern prov- jinces. where she is the more likely to jmeet the heavy tracks that suit her. !
Another of the Lack-hams who raced |promisingly on the threshold of his '
career was Seahani, at Stratford, where jlie was twice second. He ran about a jgood deal and is expected to improvea good deal in his next few races, jHe is a two-year-old from Seastar, a jhalf-sister to Soatown.
On New Plymouth and Stratford formStudent Prince will rivet the attentionof speculators for the remainder of the jseason. He is by Laughing Prince from jHappy Hit, by Leighton from Kinsem, jby Antumnus, a family with a goodrecord in the Taranaki Province. ,
A two-year-old who created a big im- jpression under unfavourable conditions jat Dunedin was Top How, by Colossus Ifrom Hunt's Up. The colt was a cheappurchase of P. T. Hogan's at the |national sales and it is stated that sev-eral good offers for him have been do- |dined.
Happy Turn ol FortuneOri the law of averages Allspice ;
should add materially to her successes 1at Awapuni and Marton, from the point ,of view of the previous bad fortuneof her owner, Mr. F. Armstrong, Christ-church. At 275 guineas she has prob-ably been by far the cheapest pur-chase made by that sportsman. She ishis first winner.
Perfect Lady, a Hastings winner, hadraced only twice previously. She is athree-year-old by Defoo from a half-sister to Wilmoreana and to ArabSong, the dam of Tidal Song andNereus. Perfect Lady is very speedyand she is expected to reveal usefulform during the autumn racing on theEast Coast.
While there is a suspicion that shemay become a "handful" at the postSailing Lady, who dislodged her riderat Wvndham, won the New Year Han-dicap at Invercargill very convincingly.She is a daughter of Set Sail, a goodrace mare.
Two well-related first winners fromWingatui are Roseman and Norseman.The former, who scored at Wyndham,is a half-brother to Mobile, and Beraces in the same colours. Norsemanis half-brother to High Glee, surelythe most unlucky runner during theholidays. High Glee ran second in foursuccessive events—the Salisbury andFarewell Handicaps at Dunedin, thoWaikouaiti Cup and the Flying Handi-cap at Oamaru. High Glee is omi-
nated for tho Douro Cup, for whichhe will be an early fancy.
NOTES FROM EVERYWHERE
TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP
Prostration, who was brought intowork again last month, did not looklike standing up for long, and lie hasnow been given away to be used as ahack.
After the Reefton meeting, Guillotinewill be put to the stud, and willprobably be mated with Dolomite.Guillotine is by Shambles from theMartian mare, Ma Mie, the dam alsoof Heloiso.
Nightlnss was having practically herlast chance when she scored her sur-prise win in the Moroa Handicap atTauhfirei' kau. She wont honestly foronce, and perhaps sho will now con-tinue to do so.
Tho four-year-old Dolomite—Tempi-gelding Otlirys has been sold by Mr.F. Escott to Mr. H. P. Hopkins, West-port, owner of Rose Val, and racedin his new owner's interests at theGreymouth meeting. /
After 2L years in office, Mr. H. S.Moss concluded his association with theHawke's Bay Jockey Club as itssecretary at the recent New Yearmeeting. The fixture was the mostsuccessful held on tho course for manyyearn.
Rebel Lad, who ran out of hackclass at Wingatui, but was ablo torun out his nominations at Waikouaitiand Oamaru, has raced consistentlywell since his return from Australia,and his staying powers have been wellproven. He won the Champion Hack-Handicap on New Year's Day and wasless than a head away from tho win-ner, in third place, in the same kindof race at Oamaru, in the most ex-citing finish of the whole holidayracing.
Six. ■wins and two seconds is therecord of Gold Boa's eight starts. Shecaptured the, open sprint, the ShortsHandicap,, in hollow fashion* on thesecond day of the Southland meetingand it appears that tho end of herimprovement is not yet in sight. ByBalboa from March Off, by Markhopefrom Officious, by Finland from Busy-body, by A preiuent. Three of theearlier offspring of March Off, namely,Last March, Grand Finale, and Dismisshave been useful, but the best handi-caps may not bo beyond Gold Boa.
Racing under Pony Turf Club ruleshas proved so popular in England thatarrangements are well advanced fortho erection of now courses at Worsley(near Manchester) and Sheffield. Bothwill be on the lines of the successfulNortholt Park track, and will bo com-plete racecourses under proper control.Plans for Worsley, which will be thefirst pony course in the North of Eng-land under Pony Turf Club rules, pro-vide for an elliptical track, about nmile and a-half in circumference, andan almost straight finish of five fur-
, longss

SAVES WOMENUNTOLD SUFFERING
A leading lady says, " No, I don'thave 'nerves.' You can't have themand hold this sort of position. My headused to throb around three o'clock, andsonic days, of course, were worse thanothers.
''Then I learned to rely on BayerAspirin tablets."
One sure cure for any headache isrest. But sometimes we must postponeit. That's when Bayer Aspirin saves theday. Two tablets, and the nagging painis. gone until you are home. And onceyou are comfortable, the pairi seldomreturns.
Keep Bayer Aspirin handy. Don'tput it away, or put oil' taking it. Fight-ing «i headache .to" finish the day maybe heroic, but'it is also a little foolish.So is sacrificing a night's sleep becauseyou have an annoying cold, or irritatedthroat, or a grumbling tooth, neuralgia,
'neuritis.Bayer Aspirin tablets do not depress
the heart and can be taken freely with-out harm. That is medical opinion. Jtis a fact established by the last thirtyyears of medical practice.
The only caution to be observed iswhen you are buying aspirin. Be surethat you are given Bayer and not asubstitute. Nothing else acts the sameor is "just as good."
All chemists sell boxes of 12 BayerAspirin tablets, also bottles of 24 ana100 tablets—the Bayer Cross trade-mark appears on every tablet. BayerAspirin costs no more than ordinaryaspirin. So insist on Bayer when Jbuy. Bayer means Better. —Adrt.

AMERICAN NEUTRALITY
The United States Congress is
extending the scope of the NeutralityAct to prevent the export of war
material to Spain. From the textof this statute civil wars had beenomitted, and the authorities had nooption but to issuo export licences,the most important of which covereda shipment of aeroplanes andengines. Tho fact that there hasbeen a race between the amendinglegislation and the completion of theloading of a vessel denotes a deter-mination to carry out the intentionof the law to the very letter. Sincethe discovery of tho loophole in thelaw, it has been announced fromMexico that tho President of thatcountry, as a means of co-operatingwith Mr. Roosevelt's good-neighbourpolicy, has forbidden the shipmentof United States war materialthrough Mexico t'o Spain. This"voluntary" action denotes the forcebehind the neutrality doctrine of theUnited States. "If we are facedwith a choice of prolits or peace,"Mr. Roosevelt has said, "we choosepeace." Criticising the companywhich had insisted upon an exportlicence for aircraft and engines, thePresident said that its action wasperfectly legal,' but thoroughlyunpatriotic and unethical. In usingthe word unethical, he implied thathe was in complete agreement withthe British attitude, and showedthat he remained constant to thoprinciples he upheld at the outbreakof the war in Abyssinia. He wasprepared to suspend trade andother relations with the aggressoronly, but Congress would not go sofar. It placed an embargo upon theexport of certain specified warmaterials to both belligerents andimposed restrictions on the supplyof other commodities.
While giving full credit for thepraiseworthy purpose of the UnitedStates in regard ta the Spanishtragedy, it is impossible not todeplore its limitations. Blood isbeing shed; Madrid 'is beingbattered by bombs; women andchildren are being killed andmaimed. It is merely a quibble tosay that there is not active officialparticipation by Germany, Italyand, probably, Russia. Each daybrings reports of incidents at sea.Foreign warships patrol the coastand apprehend vessels suspected ofserving " the other side." Eachweek increases the danger of thecivil war being turned into an inter-national war. With a singleness ofpurpose that can nowhere bedoubted, Britain, above all, strivesto hold the flames in check. Andacross the Atlantic the United Statesis content to take measures to stopthe despatch of warlike supplies andbuild the Pan-American structurefor peace and protection in bothsections of the continent. What aninfluence she could exert toward thepacification and stabilisation ofEurope if her name had been addedto that of Britain and France underthe proposal that foreign nationalsshould be prohibited from going toSpain to join one or other of theforces! But the United States isdetermined to avoid at all cost any"entanglement" in Europe and toinsulate herself from the electriczone of disturbance.
In accordance with this policy,there has been headlong retreatfrom the old traditional principles ofthe "open door" and the "freedomof the seas," the breach by Germanyof the second of which was largelyresponsible for the United Statesentering the Great War. TheNeutrality Act itself does more thanproclaim the principle of non-inter-ference and non-intervention: ithelps to establish safeguards forisolation from tho problems ofEurope. The extent to which thatpolicy has been carried by thecountry that possesses one of thestrongest navies was indicated bythe announcement when the Abys-sinian war began that all legitimatetrade with the warring nations wouldhave to be done at the trader's riskand without any assurance of Govern-ment protection. Under no circum-stances, apparently, will the UnitedStates risk an "incident" whichmight arouse a demand for someform of action against anothercountry. It has been remarked thatnot even the Americans know whythey possess so large a navy seeingthat there is no longer the possibilityof an attack by Japan upon thewest seaboard, independence to thePhilippines is in the process of fulfil-ment, and isolation from Europe isthe policy. The continued buildingof warships would, however, suggestthe existence of a doubt whether theisolation policy will always be pos-sible. The country has huge financialinterests throughout the world—-trade has followed capital—itdepends upon foreign sources for anumber of raw materials essentialto industry, and, though the propor-tion of the movable production thatis exported is small on the aggre-gate, it is vital to a number ofimportant industries, the oil indus-try being one of them. Trade and jcommerce thus contend against theisolation policy. And it is not diffi-cult to visualise another blow to itif the troubles of Europe shouldculminate in a great war. The riskof such a war would be substantiallyreduced if the United States threwher immense weight into the s.calenow. To pursue peace in the NewWorld, where the position oi: theUnited States is unchallengeable, andneglect to do so in the Old World,is as short-sighted a policy as themodem world has witnessed*
AUSTRALIA'S WIN
Australia's convincing win in thethird tost cricket match restores thefeeling of confidence which the teamoriginally inspired. Although wetweather gave opportunity to Aus-tralia to compel England to bat ona very bad wicket, and thereby gaina marked advantage, it will generallybe agreed that (he third test was abetter indication of the relativestrength of the sides than were thepreceding ones. It is to be notedthat the two Australian reverseslargely obliterated the belief thatthe team was a much strongerbatting side than the visitors. Yet,while that reputation has beenlargely restored, it is to bo notedthat in neither side have goodbatting performances been widelydistributed. Hammond, Leyland,Bradman and Fingleton have beenmost prominent, but there is stilltime, fortunately, for other batsmento find themselves. Australian bowl-ing in the third match proved muchbetter than was indicated at Bris-bane and Sydney. Sievers, whounexpectedly gained his place in theteam, obtained line figures, notwith-standing the suggestion that at thetime the Englishmen were endeavour-ing to throw their wickets away withhidden guile ; and Fleetwood-Smith,playing for the lirst time againstEngland, fully justified his inclusionand appears to be assured of selec-tion again. The English fielding hasbeen brilliant, and it may yet haveits influence on the destination ofthe "ashes." However, tho pros-pect now is that, with reasonableweather conditions, Australia has agood chance of making up the leewayat Adelaide, in which event the finalmatch will arouse the greatestexcitement.
FRANCE AND TURKEY
There are so many centres ofinternational discord at present thatthe appearance of a new one becomesmore than usually .unwelcome.Actually the question, betweenFrance and Turkey, of the future ofthe Antioch and Alexandrettaregions in Syria is not new. It hasbeen for some time under negotia-tion, but Turkey is now apparentlyprepared to force a decision if athreatening attitude can do so. Thetwo provinces in question areimmediately adjacent to Turkishterritory. Their future has comeinto discussion as the result ofFrench plans to withdraw from themandated territory of Syria asBritain withdrew from Irak. Turkeyhas claimed autonomy for the regionson the ground that in race, languageand culture they are predominatinglyTurkish. France is generally under-stood to have agreed to negotiatethe question at issue, but, on theground that Syrian independencewill not become effective for threeyears, seems to have refused tohurry with the business. There havebeen several previous indications ofTurkish impatience. At the begin-ning of NovemberKemal, addressingthe National Assembly, declaredthat the future of this area was thegreat question of the day for theTurkish nation. This statement wasreceived with frenzied applause.Three weeks later a student demon-stration in the capital, concernedwith the same subject, became solively that the gathering had to beforcibly dispersed. It is now sug-gested that , the Turkish drive onbehalf of Alexandretta and Antiochis part of a larger plan to regain afooting in territory lost in the war.The nervous tension in Europe mayhave something to do with such aninterpretation of the facts, but it issincerely to lae hoped no new focusof ill-will is going to develop.
ROAD ACCIDENTS
With the peak of the holidayseason past, a stocktaking of its tollof road accidents is appropriate. Asurvey shows the number to havebeen very much higher than in thesame period a year ago—in fact, verynearly double the 1935--36 holidaytotal. The loss of life was the samein both, but it inevitably follows thatthe legacy of injuries and sufferingthis year has been far greater. Itappears that there were many morevehicles on the road during theholiday season just past, and thisnaturally increases tho liability toaccident. It may also mean thatthere were more drivers of limitedexperience abroad. A third factorwhich can fairly be counted is theconsistently bad weather which hasprevailed, in many districts un-doubtedly adding to the difficultiesof driving. With all these allowancesmade, the increase is still highlydisquieting. If the roads are carry-ing more traffic, the need for cautionbecomes all the greater. The inex-perienced driver ought to recognisehis limitations and bear himselfaccordingly. Incidentally, if otherdrivers assumed that everyone metwas inexperienced, and exercisedcorresponding care, it would not bea bad thing. Finally, as was saidconcerning the deplorable list ofaccidents at the actual Christmastime, when weather conditions arebad full allowance should be madefor the added difficulties of the road.To sum up the evidence of thefigures, if there were no morefatalities this year than last, goodfortune must be given much of thecredit, since the accidents weremore numerous. The communitycannot afford to trust to luck inthese things another time, or indeedat any time. Regulations are beingtightened, but there is a limit towhat they can do in promotingsafety. The real remedy seems tolie in creating a higher sense ofresponsibility in those motorists wholack it, to be exercised not only atholidays but at all times.
NOTES AND COMMENTS
FOOD SUPPLIES IN WARSir Herbert Matthews, who was sec-
retary of the Central Chamber of Agri-culture from 1901-27, speaking at theRoyal United Service Institution, Lon-don, said that the problem of food sup-plies in war time was the first line ofdefence, but appeared to be the leastconsidered by the authorities alid th<*least understood by the man in thestreet. Were the mistakes and muddlesof the last war going to be repeated?A committee appointed by the Minis-ter of Defence would be well employedin deciding what not to do if a crisisoccurred, "t am forced to the conclu-sion," ho snid, "that we ought to holdat least sin months' supply of grain insilos or elevators and a further sixmonths' supply in stack. By the timethese supplies were exhausted therewould be a further six months' .supplyready for harvest. Elevators should notbo concentrated at ports, but scatteredover the country. If the necessarystorage cost the price of one battleship,or oven two, it would be worth it."
SHIPPING SUBSIDIES
Sir Archibald Hurd, addressing thoRoyal United Services Institution, saidthat it would probably not be an exag-geration to state that from first tolast about £2,000,000,000 had beenspent in foreign shipbuilding and ship-ping subsidies, of which the Americantaxpayers had provided about one-half.Such subsidies tended to increase, andforeign taxpayers had not revolted."The explanation is that they havebeen told that merchant ships will beessential to the State in time of war."American, Japanese, Italian, Germanand French shipping were now undervarying forms of Government control.British shipowners had lost their cour-'age. They were convinced that, iftlie worst came to the worst, Ministerswould come to their rescue, since com-mand of the sea by the British mer-chant navy was as vital as command oftho sea by tho Royal Navy. So far,the Empire Governments had donenothing to defend British shipping,though action might shortly bo taken.
WELL-BEING OF YOUTH
Outlining a system of education upto the age of 15 for the rank and fileof those who in a few years wouldhave to exercise the rights of citizen-ship, Dr. Cyril Norwood, in a recentlecture, spoke of the "primary need"of physical edocation. It was a topicmuch in the air, and they would haveto tolerate the impatience of those whosaid it was no more than an educa-tional "stunt" and now rapidly be-coming a political "stunt." But therewas no argument about tho nationalneed, and the bulk of the nationaleffort must bo made in the schools.He dreamed of a system in which everyschool of any size had its physi-cal instructor, wlio would be a fullmember of the staff with a functionas important as that of any. Hethought of a school in which tho childwould be encouraged to reach succes-sive stages of physical development,but he wanted an atmosphere ofrecreative work rather than drill. "Ido not want this physical training tolead on to mass exhibitions of physicaldrill, in which a thousand children dothe same thing at the word of com-mand. I want it to end, not in thechild's thinking that ho is a mere unitin a mass, but rather as a person co-operating in a community, and thereis a vast difference between the two "
UNDYING SACRIFICECanon Spencer H. Elliott, rector of
Warrington, preaching at a League ofNations Union service, said we werefaced with questionings about themoral government of the ' world.Christians must face the fact thatwhile the bad suffer in the long runbecause they are bad, the good sufferbecause they aro good. Goodness hadto be loved for its own sake, not forreward. Against the dark backgroundof wicked plotting and of stupid weak-ness we could see still the bright radi-ance of human virtue, fidelity to ideals,and self-sacrificing love. That was whyit helped us to remember those who,in that spirit, gave their lives in thewar. What satisfied our hearts andbrought us consolation now was notsimply whether they succeeded in whatthey set out to do. Tt was that thoseradiant lives existed and still exist.Their presence in the world was a pro-test against evil. In them wo saw theanswer to the wickedness that liaswrecked the world. For their sakes weshould refuse to lose faith in mankind,but should link together to strengthenthe bonds of humanity and enrich thetraditions of human goodness. We mustgo farther and believe in a moral gov-ernment of the world somehow at work,that no pulse of love, no act of sacri-fice, can ever be wasted.
CAUSE OF UNREST
Sir Herbert Samuel, in his pre-sidential address lo the British Insti-tute of Philosophy, advocated a search-ing analysis of conflicting ideas and anexposure of what was foolish in them;an insistence on persuasion rather thanforce as tho ruling principle, and themaintenance of force sufficient to en-sure it; a sano nationalism—theservant and not the enemy of an en-lightened internationalism; and con-structive measures of social progress.It that should come about, ho said,then in the changed atmosphere andwith all the abundant advantages ofthe modern world, we might see anew renaissance of all tho arts, sup-plementing tho present effulgence ofall the sciences. He summed up thecause of unrest in the world by sayingthat a mixture of misery and educa-tion was highly explosive. A proletariatthat suffered and had sonic measure ofeducation, which believed it knew ofa possible way of escape, might beformidable. The lessons learned in thewar, the fact that science had beensteadily undermining tho old religionsorthodoxies, anger and resentment a Ithe invocation by clericalism of super-natural authority to defend politicaland economic systems—these tilings hadbrought tho flash-point near. Dictator-ships were efficient perhaps to yj»tnrtwith, but the real test came with theageing of the first dictator, and stillmore with tho succession of tho secondand third. Only once in all tho longrecords of history of great States—-that of Home—did they learn of «
succession of able rulers assuring strongand efficient Government for as longa period na 80 years.
LOCAL AND GENERALSaturday Closing
The office of the Supreme Court hasfallen into lino now with the majorityof Government departments in observ-ing the five-day week, and it will notin future be open for business on Sat-urday mornings. To make up for thetime thus lost the staff will start halfan hour earlier on the other days ofthe week.
Painting GirdersUsing chipping hammers to rornovo
every trace of rust, several workmenwere busily engaged yesterday in paint-ing with rod lead ilie steel girders sup-porting (he verandah of one of themain sheds on the Queen's Wharf. Thisis a jot) that must lie done periodically,as steelwork near the sea is snore likelyto rust than that further inland.Heavy Rail Traffic
Railway traffic for the south was veryheavy yesterday, and many who wishedto travel by the limited had to acceptaccommodation on the afternoon ex-press instead. When the limited left at7 o'clock it had five extra second-classcarriages added to the normal comple-ment. The separate Now Plymouth ex-press, which left 18 minutes later, hadsix well-filled carriages.
Road Signs DamagedVandalism in connection with one of
tho new M m.p.h. signs recently placedon the Great South Road at Ohanpolias been reported by the AutomobileAssociation (Auckland). The damageis alleged to have been caused by larri-
| kins and the matter has been referredi to the police. The association offers a
' reward for information leading to the| conviction of persons interfering with
j road signs.
! Electric Power RequirementsI An increased demand for all classesI of supply "'as experienced by tho Auck-
i land Electric-Power Board during thoi Christmas period compared with thei corresponding days of 1935, said thegeneral manager. Mr. R. H. Bartley,yesterday. Requirements for industrialand domestic purposes were particu-larly heavy, while there was also aconsiderable demand for commerciallighting in the city. No interruptionsoccurred in the supply of power.
Naval Leave EndingChristinas and New Year leave on
most of the warships at the DevonportNaval Base is almost ended and officersand crew arc returning in batches andare getting dmvn to the normal routineof life on the station. On January 1-3Christmas leave for the Achilles, Dun-edin, Wellington, and Leith will end,and on January 20 the officers and rat-ings given leave over the New Yearwill return. Seaman boys being trainedin tho Philomel will return to their shipto-day. *
Fallen Power PolesA species of grub which had riddled
tho hard ironbark wood at the base oftwo power-poles in Owen's Road,Epsom, is held responsible for the col-lapse of the poles early yesterday morn-ing. Nothing quite like this pest hasbeen encountered by the staff of theAuckland Electric-Power Board, andspecimens of the rotted wood are to besent for examination to the Museum.The fallen poles were replaced by a re-pair gang without inconvenience totraffic or to the board's customers.
Blind Man's EscapeA breathless moment was experienced
by many jieoplo in the vicinity of theFerry Building at about 4.45 p.m. yes-terday, while a blind pedestrian crossedQuay Street as a shunting train boredown upon him. Carrying the custom-ary white cane and walking unassisted,he reached the set of rails on whichthe trucks were being shunted, andstood fixed when yells of "look out"reached him. But for two shunters, whoraced toward him and guided the blindman to safety, an accident might haveresulted.
City RatesAuckland City ratepayers who have
not vet thought about paying theirrates for the current year will soonhave to consider the matter, since thestatutory 10 per cent surcharge be-comes due in some cases on Friday next,January 15. The surcharge applies toall rates not paid within a jieriod ofsix months and 14 days from the dateon which tho demand was issued. Asregards the earliest demands sent outby the City Council in the currentfinancial year, tho expiry date is thoone mentioned.
Pedestrian CrossingsPossibly because the approaches to
soino of tho pedestrian crossings inQueen Street are not sufficiently in-dicated to motorists, many are not com-plying with the new regulations re-quiring them to give way to pedes-trians. This particularly applies to suchcrossings in Queen Street as the onebetween Customs Street and FortStreet, which is not near a corner.Indeed, in one three-minute intervalyesterday afternoon the only driver whoscrupulously observed the regulation byactually stopping to permit pedestriansto cross was a uniformed chauffeur.
Line Brought DownMomentary excitement, among in-
tending passengers waiting at thocorner of Victoria and Queen Streetsfor tramcars was caused lato yesterdayafternoon when tho pole of one of thecars got entangled in tho wires andbroke one of tho guys leading from thoside of the road to the power lino. Theguy was ono which on tho other sidoof Queen Street carries tho feeder fortho current to tho power lino, and thegroup of people waiting on tho cornerthought that tho falling lino was elec-trified and scattered away from it. Thepolo was put back on the power linoand tho car and others behind it pro-ceeded on their way, while a hastilysummoned repair lorry attended to thofallen guy.
Grafton Bridge RepairsPeople passing over Grafton Bridge
yesterday afternoon noticed that thestructure is in process of assuming itsoriginal appearance. The steel cantileveron the northern side of tho bridge atthe eastern end was removed duringthe day, although that on the southernside still remains. The two cantileverswero placed on the carriageway of thebridge some months ago to support theweakened girders beneath, but al-though they are now being removedconsiderable work remains to bo donebefore the reconstruction plan is com-pleted. Massive reinforced concrete piershave to be built and when the faultsat the eastern end aro repaired, lesserweaknesses in girder spans at the west-ern end of the bridge will receive atten-tion.
MOUNTAIN ASCENTPARTY ON ASPIRING
WOMAN CLIMBER
HAZARD AT CREVASSE
IMPROVISED ICE BRIDGE
[BY TELKCBAPH—OWN COWIESPONDENT]DUNEDIN, Thursday
An ascent of Mount Aspiring, thehighest peak in Otago, was madelast Thursday by a party from Pem-broke, consisting of Miss Kate Gar-diner, the, English climber, who ison her sixth visit to New Zealand,V. Williams, chief guide at the Her-mitage, Mount Cook, and F. Alack,the West Coast guide. The ascentand descent occupied togaiher 15hours.
Leaving Pembroke on December 29the party motored to the Niger Hut.From there, with the assistance of Mr.Aspinall, manager of the Mount Aspir-ing station, they were able to transporttheir stores, tents and equipment tothe base camp at Shovel Flat, up theWest Matnkituki Valley. The follow-ing day was spent in reaching the highcamp at 5700ft.
Maid Ridge Gained(hi December 31 the climbers set out
at 2 o'clock in the morning, and it wasstill dark when they reached the verybroken ice on the Quarter Deck, whereit was difficult to find a way through.Proceeding up over the ridge of MountFrench, they reached the Bonar Glacierjust as dawn was breaking. Then,traversing this and manipulating a diffi-cult vergshrund at the foot of themountain, they cut up the steep snowslopes, gaining the main ridge by 8o'clock.
After a short rest the climbers madetheir way to the summit, which wasreached by 10 o'clock, when a thickfog unfortunately capped the peak. Theview from the saddle, however, wasmagnificent. Mount Tutoko and MountEarnslaw stood up wonderfully to thesouth and a clear view was obtainedof the Mount Cook group.
Dangerous State of Snow
The descent was made by the sameroute, when great care had to be takenon account of the state of tho snow.As the ice bridge which had been usedduring the ascent at the Quarter Deckhad collapsed, the only means of get-ting across a deep crevasso was toundercut a serac, which fell down andformed a rather frail bridge.
The high camp was reached again at5 o'clock in the afternoon.
STRUCK BY A TRAIN
DAMAGE TO MOTOK-CAR
ESCAPE OF OCCUPANTS
FELLOW COUNCILLORS MEET
[from our own correspondent]HAMILTON, Thursday
The prompt action of a member ofthe Hamilton Borough Council, Mr. A.J. Denz, was probably responsible forsaving the life of another member, Mr.C. Lafferty, early this afternoon.
Mr. Denz, who is a foreman engine-driver, employed by the Railway De-partment, was travelling in the cab ofan engine attached to the Auckland-Rotorua express, which was runningbetween Frankton and Hamilton. Asthe train approached the Seddon lloadcrossing, the engine's whistle wasblown in the usual way. A car pulledup at the crossing. As the train reachedtho crossing, Mr. Denz saw anothercar approach, the driver being ap-parently unaware of the train. He im-mediately gave another blast on thewhistle.
Mr. Lafferty heard it and applied hisbrakes. The train struck the front mud-guard of the car a glancing blow. Themudguard, windscreen, and lamps ofthe car wero smashed, but Mr. Laffertyand a companion suffered no injury.
The train pulled up within a chain,and the two members of the councilexchanged greetings.
Eye-witnesses were of the opinionthat but for tho second warning givenby the engine crew Mr. Lafferty's carmust have been struck in the centre.

NAVAL DIVISIONFUTURE PROGRAMMEEXERCISES AND CRUISES
LEITH FOR THE SOUTH
Exercises, several cruises, refitting
and combined battle practice withthe squadron of the Royal Aus-
tralian Navy, which is to visit NewZealand in April, make up the busy
programme lying ahead of the ships
of the New Zealand Division of the
Royal Navy in the next few months.In addition, the former flagship ofthe division, H.M.S. Dunedin, willleave for England on February 16
and in preparation for her long
voyage she will go into dock on
Monday for refitting.The new flagship, H.M.S. Achilles,
will leave Auckland on January 2-ifor Wellington, the officers and crewhaving to undergo rifle and other train-
ing at Trentham. The sloop Leith alsohas a cruise before her, for on January
22 she is to leave on her -first visit tosouthern ports since she was commis-sioned recently by Captain L. C. P.Tudway.
Both the Leith, which will returnto port to-day from exercises in theHauraki Gulf, and the other patrolsloop, the Wellington, will carry outthree days' gunnery practice in theGulf before the Leith leaves for thesouth. On January 25 the Wellingtonwill begin her refit.
The itinerary of the Leith will be: —
Coromandel, January 22 to 26; Russell,January 27 to February 1; Oamaru,February 5 to 9; Dunedin, February9 to 16; Bluff, February 17 to 23;Westport, via Stewart Island and theWest Coast Sounds, March 4 to 9;Queen Charlotte Sound, March 10 to14; Lyttelton, March 15 to 20; Akaroa,March 20 to 24; Wellington, March 25.
All the ships of the division will goto Wellington to meet the Australiansquadron when it arrives there on April1, and it is likely that they will goout to meet the visitors, conductingbattle manoeuvres on the way back.After the independent cruises of thavarious units of the Australian squad-ron, the visitors and the New Zealandvessels, including the minesweeperWakakura, will congregate at Auck-land, and further battle-practice willprobably be held.

EXPLOSION IN CAR
TIN OF METHYLATED SPIRITS
FIRE CAUSED IN LUGGAGE BOOT
Startled by a loud explosion whichsewrely jolted his car when he wasturning into Anzac Avenue from Cus-toms Street on his way home from workon Tuesday evening, a city businessman,Mr. R. Gregory, stopped to examinethe luggage boot and on opening itfound several old newspapers in flames.
Mr. Gregory had stored a tin con-taining a small quantity of methylatedspirits in the boot, together with atwo-gallon tin of petrol and several oldnewspapers. The cap on the tin con-taining the spirits was fastened securelyand evidently the heat on the back ofthe car during the day, combined withthe movement when the car started,caused spontaneous combustion.

ORANGE SUPPLYPLANS OF MINISTERSINCREASE IN IMPORT^
24,000 CASES THIS MONTHLARGEST FOR MANY YEARS
[BV TELEGRAPH—OWN COKRESPONDEWIWELLINGTON*, Tburada, f
Supplies of oranges arranged f orby the Minister of Industries andCommerce, the Hon. D. G.for the present month, will be morethan twice as large as those avail,able during January last year. ThgMinister said he had arrangedfor 24,000 cases to be available thiimonth, this total being the largestimported during January for manyyears. Last year, 11,000 cases wereimported in January, compared with8000 in January, 1935, 7000 in 1934,and 6000 in 1933.
Plenty of lemons would also be avail,able, said the Minister. The TaurangaCitrus Association had advised his de-partment that it could supply anyorders sent to it, but the surprisingthing was that orders were not beingreceived from fruiterers to the extentanticipated.
Margin for Retailers
To meet the demand for orangeiduring December, added the Minister,the whole of the supplies that wereavailable from Australia were imported,but it was* not possible to secure asmany as were wanted. As it was, thesupplies imported were equal to anythat had been brought in duringcember in recent years.
The prices that had been fixed weredecided upon after discussion at a con-ference of representatives of all theparties, including the retailers, officersof 4he Department of Industries andCommerce, and members of the FruitCommission. On the whole the policyadopted had been a definite success. Inthe fixation of the prices it was feltthat a sufficient margin was allowed forthe retailers.
Increased Spending Power
The increase in the spending powef
of the community and the fixation ofthe prices had greatly intensified thedemand, but the department had doneits best to see that sufficient supplieswere available to the public duringChristmas week. No complaints hadreached the department- from any con-sumers about not being able to buyoranges during that period.
The fixation of the prices of oranges |
was not visualised as a permanentpolicy, said the Minister. It had been 1adopted to protect the public during $
December, and bo would probably con- |
tinue the policy during the epidemic '
period in order to safeguard the posi-
tion as far as possible.

ANGLO-FRENCH CONCERNi
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright(Received January 7. G.15 p.m.)
LONDON, Jan. 6The Berlin correspondent of-the
Manchester Guardian says Ger-many's reply to the British Note onSpain is believed to propose a totalembargo against assistance to eitherside and the removal from Spain ofall foreign troops, war materials andpolitical agents.
The proposals are impracticablydrastic, especially since they ex-press Germany's hostility to Russia,and are contingent upon Russia'saction.
Germany's aim, says the correspond-ent, is to make the Berlin-Rome axisestablished by Hcrr Hitler's protocolsinto a Berlin-Rome-London trianglethrough the Anglo-Italian Pact, thusdetaching Britain from France andsolidifying the relations between Britainand Germany on the basis of tho Bol-shevik danger to the world.
The diplomatic correspondent of theDaily Herald states that the PrimeMinister, Mr. Baldwin, is returning toLondon to-night and a full meeting ofthe Cabinet has been called for January13 to consider, the Italian and Germanreplies and to examine the next stepsif these replies are considered unsatis-factory.
The writer adds that both the Frenchand British Governments now are con-vinced that it is vital for Europeanpeace that the sending of volunteersto Spain must cease immediately.

VOLUNTEERS PROBLEM
• ATTITUDE OF POWERS
NAZIS AND SEIZED SHIPS
British Wireless RUGBY, Jan. 6A summary of the Portuguese Gov-
ernment's reply to the British andFrench Notes regarding volunteers forSpain was received in London yester-day. It is described as non-committaland makes any action eventually takenby Portugal conditional upon corres-ponding action by other Powers.
Messages from Berlin and Rome onthe subject of volunteers arriving inSpain foreshadow that the replies ofthe German and Italian Governmentswill be delivered to-morrow.
The Daily Telegraph, commentingon recent incidents off the Spanishcoast, says they afford a broad contrastbetween German and British methods0f... handling the dangerous matter ofinterference with vessels under theirflags.
The British protest against firingupon a British steamer has beenanswered by assurances that instruc-tions have been given which will pre-vent such incidents in the Gibraltararea. Germany, on the other hand,having captured two Spanish \essels asa reprisal against the holding up ofpart of tho cargo of the steamer Palos,has delivered an ultimatum calling forthe surrender of the detained cargowithin thrr-o days, and adding a threatof ''further measures."
There have been other such incidents,says the paper, and it is not withoutsignificance that only those in whichGerman vessels arc concerned give riseto international tenr.ion.

DRIVE ON MADRIDGERMANS IN CONTROL
TRUTH LEAKING OUT
AERIAL BOMBARDMENTSBy Telegraph—Press Association—CopyrightTimes Cable LONDON, Jan. 6
The Berlin correspondent, of theTimes says ho considers that Ger-many is staking a lot on GeneralFranco's present offensive, althoughit is still maintained that Germanyis not involved. Relatives of thosekilled in Spain are notified that thevictims "died in accidents."
Incredible as it seems the truth isonly slowly leaking out that Germansare fighting Spain.
Skilful press propaganda lias con-veyed the impression that interventionis confined to Britain, France andRussia.
Messages from Spain state thatthe rebels' drive against Madrid isbelieved to be almost entirely in thehands of Germans, who are employingtactics used in the Great War. Advanceis made by mass formations.
Aerial bombardments of Madrid thismorning and again this afternoon weresupported by artillery. The shellingresulted in three hits on the TelephoneDepartment's skyscraper building. Gov-ernment airmen drove off the raiders,and the girl operators returned fromthe cellars and resumed plugging inalmost before the termination of theattack.
Bombardments in the last, few days,coupled with infantry conflicts, havecost the defenders, according to GeneralFranco's estimate, 1000 killed andwounded.
This estimate is somewhat discountedby a letter from Professor Halrlane tohis wife from Madrid, emphasising thefutility of the bombing of the capitaland saying that it would take a year ofthis sort of thing to make anyone dreamof surrendering.
BLOCKADE RUMOURS
DENIAL IN LONDON
FRANCO-BRITISH TALKS
LONDON, Jan. 0A message from Paris states that
sensational rumours have been revivedto the effect that Britain and Francoare contemplating a naval blockade ofthe Spanish coasts, following a hurriedvisit of the Minister of Marine, M.Dupare, to Bizerta, France's secondmost important Mediterranean navalbase, and tho despatch of British shipsto Gibraltar.
Mr. Duff Cooper, British Secretary ofState for War, was reported to havediscussed with M. Daladier, FrenchMinister of Defence, the military conse-quences of a rebel victory with the aidof German forces, which virtually wouldamount to a German conquest of Spain.
Official circles, however, deny thereports that Britain and France arecontemplating a blockade of Spanishports. They state that Mr. Duff Cooper'svisit to M. Daladier was a mere courtesycall, with no political significance.
The Paris journal Le Figaro says thewhole Spanish affair stinks withhypocrisy. Masked war is being wagedbetween armed forces of countrieswhich are not concerned with theimmediate issues of the civil war.

(Received January 7, 0.25 p.m.)LONDON, Jan. <»
A message from Istanbul statesthat a significant development hasfollowed Turkish resentment of theuncompromising attitude of Francetoward Turkey's demand that theprovinces of Antioch and Alex-andretta shall be independent andadministered apart from the re-mainder of the French mandate overSyria.
The President, Kamal Ataturk,accompanied by several deputies,ha's left Istanbul forKonia, where thePremier, Ismet Pasha, the ForeignMinister, Tewfik Aras, and the Chiefof the General Staff, Marshal .Fevzi,will join him shortly.
„
The Turkish attitude is that if warsupervenes Franco will be responsible.
Tho Paris correspondent of tho Man-chester Guardian says violent attacksin the Turkish press have created con-
sternation in Paris, which suspects theTurks of intending to take the law* intotheir own hands and to quit the Leagueof Nations. It is feared that the Turkswant the provinces as a first step towardthe re-conquest of Syria, in which Italyand Germany probably are encouragingthem.
It is believed that Germany wouldregard the transfer of the provinces asa valuable precedent which would affectthe future of all mandates andstrengthen her claim to her formerAfrican colonies.

In the first tennis match in whichF. J. Perry has appeared as a pro-fessional he had a surprisingly easy
victory over H. E. Vines, at Madi-son Square Garden this evening.The score was 7 —5, 3 —6, 6 —3, 6—4.
One of the largest crowds ever towitness a tennis match was presentand was officially stated to total17,630 people. The gate receiptsamounted to the record figure of58,119 dollars, the top price paid forseats being 0 dollars 90 cents. Noseats were vacant.
Silk hats and full dress dinnerjackets were much in evidence in theseats closest to the canvas court.
Vines lost all but the second set,in which he showed the only consistentaccuracy in the match. New Yorksports writers had been speculatingupon the effect on Perry of the crowd—which in professional games talks
during the play and sometimes evenapplauds in the course of a sustainedrally.
As it turned out Perry was totally
unaffected and was smiling most of thetime, whereas Vines stopped play sev-eral times to glare at noisy spectators.Once he made a remark to one of thecrowd, but it has not been learnedwhat hj& said.

Perry had little trouble iti takingsthe first set, although the lead changedoften. Vines was orer-shooting, as heusually does at the start of a match,so he never threatened Perry greatly,even though he evened the games, five-all.
Vines had several double faults inthe second set. Then he found himselfand had remarkable control over a fastservice, resulting in numerous aces.
Perry fought desperately, but the speedand control of Vines at this stage wastoo much for him. Vines took thefirst three games of this set, one atlove on his own service.
The Englishman won the fourthgame and then broke through Vinesservice to take the fifth, bringing thescore to 3—2. Perry took his ownservice again to even the score. Vinesthen gave his best exhibition of theevening to take the remaining games.
Frequent Applause for EnglishmanThe third set found Perry at his best
form in the match and his beautifulplacements caused frequent applause.The first three games went to Perry,one at love. Vines' own service broughtthe score to 3—l, but Perry ralliedto win the next, taking the final pointwith a neat drop shot which touchedthe sideline.
Perry's service began to have a
telling' effect and ho served severalaces, while taking the remaining gamesand set.
The last sot was the best of thematch, "with Vines playing his hardestin an attempt to stave off the cool,resourceful game of his British oppon-ent. Perry started slowly after a restand change of clothing and Vinesbroke through the former's service towin the first game.
American Electrifies the CrowdVines electrified the crowd by taking
the second game and quickly servingtwo consecutive aces. The excitementincreased when Vines also took thethird game, this time at love. Perrythen rallied and scored an ace to bringthe score to 3—l.
The next game went to Perry, adouble-fault by Vines contributing, andVines went to pieces, his shots goingwild and frequently into the net,while Perrv brought the score to 3-a 11.
The American pulled himself to-gether and made his last rally of thegame. Using the hardest service of thematch he took the seventh game. Theeighth game was a long one and wasat deuce six times before Perry's skil-ful placements won. Perry took thenext with little trouble to make thegames 5—4. With the score '10—15 andmatch-point Vines netted an easy ball,thus ending the match.
The programme ended with a doublesmatch in which Tilden and Barnesdefeated Perry and Lott, 6—3, 6—2.

AMERICA'S NEEDS,WOBK FOE CONGRESSADDRESS BY PRESIDENT
BENEFITS OF DEMOCRACY
Bv Telegraph—Press Association—CopyrightWASHINGTON, Jan. (5
President Roosevelt read a messageto Congress to-day at a joint
session of the Senate and the Houseof Representatives. He asked forimmediate action for an amendmentof the Neutrality Act to cover
specific points raised as the resultof the civil war in Spain, and adeficiency in the Appropriation Bill.
Referring to foreign affairs, thePresident said that the World War,for all its tragedy, had encourageddemands from people everywhere for a
fuller and more modern life. Manynational Governments had seemed tohe unable in the past few years torespond adequately to these demands,and new forms of government wereestablished, oligarchy replacing demo-cracy. In the oligarchies militarism hadleaped forward, while in nations thathad retained democracy militarism had
i waned."Recently I visited three sister
Republics in South America," said Mr.Roosevelt. "My observations of thepeople of all the Americas convinced methat the democratic form of govern-ment can succeed. I do not wish tosubstitute any other form."
The Inter-American Conference atBuenos Aires had done much to assurepeace in this hemisphere. Here was anexample which must have a wholesomeeffect on the rest of the world. Theconference sent forth a message, onbehalf of all the democracies of theworld, that it was high time for demo-cracy to assert itself.
Menace of Unfit Habitations
In regard to prosperity, Mr. Roose-velt said: "We have gone a long way,but even with our present recovery weare far from our goal. Our deeperpurpose is to deal with the permanentfar-reaching problems still with us, forwhich democracy must find solutions ifit is to consider itself successful.
"Many millions of Americans stilllive in habitations which fail to providethe physical benefits of modern civilis-ation, which breed disease and threatento impair the health of future genera-tions. This menace exists in large citiesand small cities, and on tens of thou-sands of farms—another example of theprevalence of the un-American type oftenant farming.
"I do not suggest that every farmingfamily has the capacity to earn a satis-factory living on its own holding, butmany thousands of tenant farmers,with some financial assistance and someadvice and training, could be made self-supporting on the land which even-tually would belong to them.
Adequate Relief for the Needy"Another national problem is the
intelligent development of the socialsecurity system and the broadening ofthe service it renders, with practicalimprovements in its operation. In manynations in which such laws have effectsuccess comes through frequent amend-ment of the original statute.
"The most far-reaching and mostinclusive problem of all is unemploy-ment—lack of economic t balance, ofwhich unemployment is at once a resultand a symptom. The immediate ques-tion is adequate relief for the needy,which we shall discuss in Congresslater.
"The broader task of preventing un-employment requires a long - rangeevolutionary policy. Fluctuations inemployment are tied to all the otherwasteful fluctuations in our mechanismof production and distribution. One ofthes* wastes is speculation in securitiesand commodities. The larger the volumeof speculation, the wider becomes theupward and downward swing, and themore certain it is to result in the longrun in more losses than gains.
Three Evils to be Overcome"The same net loss to society comes
from reckless over-production and mono-polistic under-production of natural andmanufactured products. Over-produc-tion, under-production and speculationare three evils we must overcome."
In regard to the National RecoveryAct, the President said the statute hadbeen outlawed, but the problems it wasintended to solve had not been solved."They are with us still," he added.
"During the year there has been agrowing belief that little fault is to befound with the Constitution as it nowstands. The vital need is not for analteration of the fundamental law, butfor an increasingly enlightened view inreference to it.
"Rightly considered, it can be used asan instrument of progress, not a devicefor the prevention, of action. Meansmust be found to adapt our legal formsto the actual present needs of thelargest progressive democracy in theworld."

BRIGHT DISPLAYSOME QUICK SCORING
ROBINS BATS CONFIDENTLY
ENGLAND NOT DISGRACED
(By J. B. Hobbs—Copyright in all countries.Reproduction in whole or in part forbidden.)
(Received January 7, 5.5 p.m.)MELBOURNE, .Tan. 7
Leyland and Robins put up anunexpected fight to-day, makingAustralia's task less easy than an-ticipated. Both played very goodcricket indeed,- perhaps the bright-est we had see on this tour.
They added 70 in 4-5 minutes andaltogether put on lit for the partner-ship in 65 minutes.
It was a pity that England was nota little nearer the goal because thocrowd would hare been -worked up tofever heat. England was so far behindthat the partnership could not affectthe result. Nevertheless, it was finecricket and tho bowlers were trying,too.
Sievers and McCabe took tho newball and O'Reilly came on to bo hitfor 11 in his first over, Leyland andRobins both scoring boundaries.O'Reilly broke the stand by beatingRobins with a "googly" that was al-lowed for, but it went straight.
Leyland's Good PerformanceRobins made splendid shots all along
; the ground on each side of point. HoI and Leyland made good drives as well.
Leyland joined Fingleton in makingj two centuries in this series of tests,j His century took him only 168 min-utes. When in the nineties, in oneover from Fleetwood-Smith he hit aboundary on each side of the wicket.
Leyland played excellently—more like| tho old Leyland ire know at Home! when in his best form. Ho made some: heartv punches and was unbeaten form.
Verity was caught wide of long-on! off a full toss from O'Reilly. Sims and
Voce went to successive balls, the| former leg-before tinder the new rulej and the latter caught by Bradman near
i the wicket.Immediately he caught Voce, Brad-
! man turned to get a stump, but theI cupboard was already bare. Voce didnot attempt to run and collared thetrophy.
So Australia won, as it looked in-evitable for some days. Although thissounds a handsome victory, Englandwas by no means disgraced.
England No Chance From StartEngland, in my opinion, never had
a chance from the start. Rain, ofcourse, helped England in tho firstand second tests, but in each instanceEngland was in a strong position be-fore the rain came.
The position in Melbourne was quitedifferent. Australia by winning tho tossheld the whip hand almost from thestart, yet in spite of that fact rathertoo many runs came from the slowbowlers, Sims and Robins.
England had six good wickets down jfor 181 at the close of play. The jwicket on the following day was as
bad as anything I have ever seen. Eng-land, however, might still have pulledthe match out of the fire if Allen haddeclared when England had scored 50.It is quite possible that Australia wouldhave been got out as cheaply.
England'! hopes faded on Mondayafternoon, owing to the wet ball. Aus-tralia's advantage was consolidated bythe big partnership between Bradmanand Fingleton. Nobody could have mademuch impression on this pair on Tues-day, but all praise to the Englishbowlers for keeping them under control !as well as they did.
Criticism of Fleetwood-SmithMy admiration of Verity is greater
than ever, but the slow men were notas good as usual. I would have preferredthat the Englishmen had batted withmore restraint in the afternoon of thofifth day.
The Australians can consider them-selves fortunate that the match wasnot played on a hard and fast wicket,seeing that they had picked such aweak bowling side. Fleetwood-Smith'sfigures were not so good until he gotwickets with the last two balls of thematch. He does not trouble Hammondat all.
I am doubtful whether Fleetwood-Smith enhances the strength of theAustralians. His batting and fielding arenot up to the high Australian standard.
England, too, is carrying two batting"passengers." I hope these will findtheir true form before the Adelaidetest, I consider Rigg an .acquisition,but Darling is a batting failure.I am sure tho loss of this match has
not marred England's chance of win-ning the ashes. On the contrary, thisvictory for Australia is a good thingfor cricket.
BRADMAN PRAISED
COMMENT IN ENGLAND
THREE WINS OF FORTUNE
LONDON, Jan. 6
"England's dogged fight" and "Ley-land's fighting innings" are postertributes to England's uphill fight inthe third test match.
Mr. Tom Webster's cartoon in theDaily Mail depicts an old gentlemanfrom Lords in bed wearing a cricketcap, with a butler reading the reportof the test: "And then Bradman—"Old gentleman: "Go away, James. Ido not want to hear any more."
Indicative of the spirit of hopeless-ness, the evening papers relegate thetest cricket news to back pages.
H. A. Carson, in the Evening News,comments: "Bradman's batting, if notquite as good as his performances of1930 in England, is far better thananything we could produce, I am afraid.This match has taught the Australiansthat batting against English bowlingon a damp wicket may be unhealthy,but not necessarily fatal. The know-ledge may be important to the Aus-tralians in the subsequent tests at Ade-laide and Melbourne."
The Daiiy Mail in a leading articlesays: "The dreams of optimists whosaw us winning the "ashes" straightoff arc buried under Melbourne turf.
"The three results so far have beenlargely wins of fortune, but a bignormal sort of encounter will almostcertainly happen at Adelaide."
BRADMAN CALMNO CRICKET NERVES
QUIET EVERYDAY PROGRAMME
GAME NOT DISCUSSED
[from ottr own correspondent]MELBOURNE, Dec. 31
While tho English cricketers anda large number of enthusiasts clus-tered round the Hotel A\ indsor earlythis morning, anxiously surveyingthe weather prospects, Don Brad-man and his wife apparently re-
mained quite disinterested.No cricket nerves, no unnecessary
worry, no untimely panic. Those,
said Mrs. Bradman, are (heir
axioms. They follow them in theireveryday life, and, above all, theypractice them during test matchtours, when everything seems blackfor Australia.
Mrs. Bradman is tiny, pretty and ex-traordinarily sage. Her blue eyes areobservant, but unless pressed, she sel-dom comments and never criticises. Inshort, she is everything a cricketer'swife should be.
Wise Silence MaintainedHer test match days run something
like this: —She and Don rise about 9and breakfast in the hotel dining room.Tlicy stay under the same roof as theEnglishmen, but, as far as is humanlypossible at such times, they do nottalk cricket.
If a discussion arises, gets out ofhand and cannot be quelled, Mrs. Brad-man never j,£>ins in. Although sheknows much more about the game thanthe average cricketer who fancies him-self as an opening bat or a man whocan give subtle flight to the ball, thiswise girl remains silent.
During the hour or so before theydrive to the ground at. 11.30, Don andMrs. Bradman may go for a walk; theymay talk about this and that to theMelbourne friends who come to seethem at their hotel; they may justwrite a few letters. On test match daysMrs. Bradman and her husband do notmeet from 11.30 until well after 6p.m., when stumps have been drawn,and tho crowd has ebbed away fromtho stands and the "outer."
Watching From the Stand
But during many of those hours, shehas been watching him, has noted everymovement, every flick of the bat, al-though he has not caught one glimpseof her. She has been sitting withfriends in the seats reserved for her,and she goes back to the hotel withthem, waiting for Don to arrive, about7, for a quiet dinner.
After, if the evening is warm andfine, they may go for another littlewalk, they talk about anything butcricket, then they go to bed.
"Yes," said Mrs. Bradman to-day,"although it does not seem a very ex-hausting programme as far as I am con-cerned, I am pretty tired at the endof a five-days' test match. Neither ofus worries—even when Don makes aduck, but it does take a bit out of us."

POPE'S ILLNESSDISQUIETING FEATURE
ULCERS ON BOTH LEGS
WORLD NEWS WITHHELD
By Telpjrraph—Press Association—CopyrightROME, Jan. fl
The condition of the Pope was un-changed this morning. He hadpassed a fairly restful night.
A disquieting feature is that pain-ful varicose ulcers have formed onboth legs. The entourage is with-holding current news from his Holi-ness, as reports of strife and blood-shed distress him.
In spite of a temporary recurrence ofpain in the left log, the Pope improvedin the evening, but was very tired. Heflatly refused to submit to a consul-tation by his doctors, saying he was allright and did not want to be bothered.
Latest reports discount earlier sug-
gestions of probable postponementof tho Eueharistic Congress at Manila.Cardinal Dougherty, tho Pope's repre-sentative, is planning to leave theVatican for Manila on January 10.
Tho Vatican cerrespondent of thenewspaper Stampa says tho Pope prob-ably will not leave his bed again.

DOMINION GOODS'COMPETING IMPORTS
QUESTION OF PROTECTION
MUST BE PROVED NECESSARY
REASSERTION BY MINISTER
[j)V TELEGR APT!—OWNWELL tNG TON, Th 11rsday
"It would appear necessary again tostate tho Government's position in re-gard to representations made by the.Manufacturers' Association, tliat theeffect of recent industrial legislationwould lie to make it virtually impos-sible for New Zealand manufacturersto compete with overseas manufacturersin the domestic market," said the Min-ister of Industries and Commerce, theHon. D. G. Sullivan, to-day. "ThePrime Minister has repeatedly informedmanufacturers that the Governmentwill not permit the product of efficientNew Zealand manufacturers to he dis-placed by goods produced in countrieswith a lower standard of labour pay-ment.
"To this end, negotiations have beenconducted with other countries withtho object of paving the way for Gov-ernment action, if it is found to bevitally necessary to the efficient NewZealand manufacturer to grant furtherprotection against importations of over-seas-made goods than ho has throughthe present tariff and exchange. TheGovernment must, however, have evi-dence of tho necessity for such actionbefore it can place a definite proposi-tion in front of an overseas Govern-ment.
Allegations Examined"I should have thought this would
be apparent without further reitera-tion by me," added Mr. Sullivan. "Butit seems that a certain section of thepress is of opinion that repeated state-ments of loss of trade take the placeof evidence. Officers of my depart-ment and the Customs Departmenthave been continually examining alle-gations of loss of trade to overseasmanufacturers, and the reports I havereceived, far from showing that theNew Zealand manufacturer is on theverge of closing his doors, indicateexceptional activity in our factores,with evidence, in some cases, of retail-ers being unable to obtain prompt de-liveries.
"To quote some instances which showthat individual manufacturers havepermitted their fear of loss of tr.ide toconvince them that it has actually oc-curred, investigating officers h a v.;: beentold in several instances, when theyhave called for figures to establish state-ments that have been made, that themanufacturer was too busy to supplythem, and that he did not wish to goon with the matter.
"Not Isolated Instances""Again, another manufacturer., who
was prominent in the original represen-tations made to the Prime Minister andmyself, stated that he had experimen-ted with a 40-hour week and provedthat he. could not meet overseas com-petition. When called upon to produceevidence that his orders had been di-verted overseas, he replied that lie wasstill receiving orders and was veru busy.He said he would think over bis pre-vious representations and advise thedepartment in a few days whether ornot he wished to go on with the mat-ter. Since then, several months ago.nothing has been heard from this par-ticular manufacturer.
"These are not isolated instances.They serve to show that not all thestatements made of loss of trade toNew Zealand manufacturers ar> basedon evidence. T am fully aware thatimportations into New Zealand are in-creasing, but so also are New Zealandmanufactures. There may be efficientindustries which may find it very diffi-cult to retain their domestic market,because of increased costs of manufac-ture. and, as soon as there is evidenceof this state of affairs, the Govern-ment is prepared to redeem its pro-mise; but the Government has a dutyto the public as well as to the manu-facturers and obviously it cannot takeprecipitous action without its beingclearly necessary."

NEW ZEALAND COALUSE BY POWER BOARD
WISH OF THE MINISTER
STORAGE PITS PROPOSEDIn order to comply with a wish ex-
pressed by the Minister of Mines, theHon. P. C. Webb, some months ago,tho Auckland Electric-Power Board isproposing to use only Now Zealandcoals in the furnaces of its standbyplant at King's Wharf. So that thecoal will keep satisfactorily, storagepits will be required but these willnot be constructed until the board candispose of its stocks of overseas coalat a reasonable figure.
The general manager of the board,Mr. P. H. Hartley, said yesterday thatthe board's agreement with the PublicWorks Department provided for theholding of three weeks' supply of coalin reserve. In tho past the board haddrawn this reserve supply from New-castle and tho South Island becausecoals from those sources could be keptwithout submerging them in water.
Occasionally in the past tho boardhad used a certain amount of the re-serve, Mr. Hartley said. To live up tothe spirit of tho agreement, the boardshould replace tho coal, but at themoment it was no use replacing it withcoal that would not keep in the open.The Minister of Mines desired theboard to make provision for under-water storage, and to Waikatocoals instead of continuing with thepresent system of storing overseas andsouthern coals outside. To do thatwould require pits capable of holdingabout 2000 torts of coal.
The installation would be a costlymatter, partioalarly if a satisfactoryprice could not bo obtained for thepresent stocks of coals, Mr. Bartleysaid. Before embarking upon the pro-ject the board was therefore waitingfor a more favourable market inwhich to dispose of its supplies. It wasplanned to put the storage pits on theboard's property immediately behindthe carpenter's shop and garage atthe King's Wharf station, thus per-mitting the property leased from theHarbour Board to be put to betteruse than the storage of coal.

HOURS AND WAGES
ATTITUDE OF EMPLOYERS
[BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION]WELLINGTON, Thursday
In connection with the conferencebetween workers and employers in thefreezing industry, the representative ofthe employers states that they wereasked to reopen the general questionof hours and wages, but consideredthat, in view of the fact that all argu-ments in the matter had been beforethe Arbitration Court as recently asNovember, and that the Court gave itsdecision with a full knowledge of thefacts, it was not for the parties to theaward to reopen the issues. The awardof the Court was a legal instrumentequally binding on both parties.
The employers subsequently set up acommittee to agree as far as possibleon tho interpretation of certain clausesabout which there seemed to be roomfor differences of opinion.
FIRE IN PARNELL
BLIND INSTITUTE SHED
SPARK FROM DESTRUCTOR
Caused by a spark from an open-airdestructor igniting' a lean-to in whichwere stored a number of motor-tyres,a fire broke out at the back of theBlind Institute's building in PnrnellRoad shortly after 5 o'clock last even-ing. Although the dense volumes ofblack smoke which arose and hung overthe whole of the institute's buildingsmade it appear that the fire was of seri-ous proportions, two engines, one fromthe Parnell station, and one from thecentral station, had no difficulty inputting out the flames and very littledamage was caused.
The lean-to in which were stored themotor-tyres was only a few feet fromtho destructor and hacked upon thedrying-room of tho brick laundry build-ing. The flames roared through thewooden lean-to and burned some of thetyres, which are used by inmates oftho institute for some of the art-craftwork they do. Then it caught thewall of the laundry drying-room andthreatened another shed in which isstored coal. One of the institute's at-tendants rushed into the drying-roomand saved about. 200 blankets from thoflames, which, however, were soon putout by a lead from the city engine. Inthe meantime, the Parnell engine hada lead run out and the flames from thelean-to were extinguished.
The good work of the two enginesnot only suppressed the fire before muchdamage could he done, but also pre-vented the flames from spreading toother buildings in tho quadrangle ofwhich tho laundry and workhouses forma part.

DAMAGED FRUITEESULT OF STORMS
PLUM AND PEACH CROPS
HEAVY LOSS OF GROWERS
STRAWBERRIES ALSO SUFFER
Stone fruit growers throughout theprovince, who expected very heavycrops this summer, suffered severelosses during the recent bad weather.Actually the first boisterous spell, be-tween Christmas and the New Year,was not of sufficient severity to affectpip fruit to any appreciable extent andit is not thought that the ultimate re-
turns to the growers will be decreasedin any way from this cause. It is con-
sidered more likely that their returns! will be increased as a result of thebenefit derived by the fruit from con-
tinued rain at a. suitable period to pro-mote development.
While this must be reassuring tosome, however, the losses experiencedby growers of stone fruits are of a far
more serious nature. Many varieties ofplums, and some of the earlier peaches,which were nearing maturity, were
shaken from the trees, while the con-
tinued rain also caused an advancementof "brown rot" injury. Later varietiesof stone fruit should come on, but
the recurrence of the easterly gale at
the beginning of the week will de-finitely result in a reduction in thequantity of plums and peaches avail-able for the market. As the seasonpromised to be a very good one forthe growers, their loss will be enmore sorely felt than if it had beenonly an average one.
Effect of Moisture
One man closely in touch withgrowers said yesterday that strawber-ries' were practically finished as a resultof the stormy weather. This viewwas borne out by another merchantwho explained that the strawberry sea-son was late in starting last year andindications were that it would continuewell into January. Prolonged moisture,however, has resulted in large quanti-ties of half-developed fruit decaying onthe vines and considerable loss has been
suffered in this direction.Strawberries which suffered most
damage were those of the Margueritevariety. Captain Cook strawberries, afirmer fruit which seems better able towithstand rough weather, have notsuffered to the same extent and sup-plies should continue to come forwardfor several weeks yet.
The Vegetable GrowerVegetable growers on the whole were
more fortunate and little loss hasresulted from the continued badweather. Long dry spells cause themmore inconvenience than continuedrain, which usually hastens the growthof their crops. Apart from stakedbeans, some of which felt the force ofthe gale and were blown down, and a
few crops of peas, which were damagedbv overmuch rain, vegetable growerssuffered lightly and there is not likelyto be any appreciable difference in thequantities of vegetables reaching themarket.
LAMB EXPORT SEASON
GOOD OPENING IN OTAGO
WET WEATHER RAISES DOUBTS
[BY TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT]DUNEDIN, Thursday
In both -weight and quality the lambsnow being killed»for export in Otagoare equal to those frozen last year, butthe prices realised are more gratifyingto farmers. The freezing season hasjust started in Otago with full boardsof butchers at all the workis and withstock reaching the works in maximumquantities each day.
The continued wet weather is begin-ning to have its effect in certain areasand. although lambs have done well upto the present, farmers are beginningto have doubts as to the quality ofthose they will be able to kill in thenear future. There is ample feed inOtago, but it has been the experiencein this province, as in other districts,that lambs do better in fine, warmweather than in a long spell of Wetweather, which makes the feed soft,.However, the season has opened mostencouragingly for farmers.
ERADICATING RAGWORT
PROGRESS AT MATAMATA
TREATMENT OF 300 ACRES[by TELEGRAPH OWN correspondent]
PUTARAR'U, ThursdaySatisfactory progress with the treat-
ment of the worst ragwort areas in theMatamata County, for which a grant of£llOO was made through the Depart-ment of Agriculture, was reported thisweek by the county inspector.
The scheme had been in full opera-tion tqr about 10 weeks and an area ofapproximately 300 acres olr the worst-infested land had been treated, thereport stated. It would soon bo toolate to use the dry chemical treatment,as the ragwort passed into a moredangerous stage which required morestringent measures, but the grant hadlargely been expended and the workwould probably cease within a monthor less.
The inspector stated that the workwould have been greatly facilitated hadthe grant been made earlier.

hopes for new year
minister determined
SAFETY SOUGHT FOR ALL
[nv tki.kouai'U pukss association]WF.LM.VOTOX. Thursday
" Although I am far from satisfiedvitli the results already obtained fromthe accident prevention campaign, itis encouraging to observe that there]ins already been a considerable reduc-tion in the death rate on the roads."paid the Minister of Transport, the Hon.1) Seinple, in a statement to-night." The holiday rush is over and per-haps \\c enn now survey the mass ofhuman wreckage that remains as nartof the litter resultant from the celebra-tion of a merry Christmas and happynew year.
"Perhaps we can congratulate our-selves that this December was lessdeadly than last December because,according to the newspapers, only 20persons were killed on the roads ascompared with 24 last, December. Ofthe 20 persons killed, two of them were
children. Ninety-seven others wereseriously injured. A\ e do not know
how many others wore not so seriouslyinjured, but we can count another 118who merely suffered from such discom-forts as fractured noses, lacerated faces,
and mild concussion."We must, not be too optimistic,
however, because so many of the seri-ously injured victims are still in atrrave condition, so that possibly last
December's death roll of 24 may yet boeclipsed.
Motorists Generally Considerate" Again the two months may not be
strictly comparable. Five persons were
killed between December 2:5 and the endof the year, and four on ChristmasEve, while during the same period in193-5 nine lost their lives.
" Traffic inspectors inform mo that
in general motorists were reasonablyconsiderate and showed very fair roadmanners this Christmas. Cases of wildand reckless driving were comparativelyrare and drunkenness at the wheel was
less common."The Minister said that during the
first eight months of 1936 160 personslost their lives as compared with 1-5during the corresponding period of theprevious vear, an increase of -'V). SinceSeptember, when the prevention cam-paign began to take effect, each monthhad* shown a reduction in deaths ascompared with the figure ior the samemonths in the previous year. Septem-ber. 1936. showed eight less than Sep-
tember. 19135, October two less, Novem-ber seven less and December four less.
Plans Not Yet Complete
"Without being unduly optimistic Ithink we ca;i look forward fairly con-fidently to January being compara-tively free from road tragedy. Wehave' made a good start—only onedeath so far—and there are reasonablegrounds for assuming that the factorscontributing most heavily to the num-erous December smashes will be greatlydiminished from now on. .It is impos-sible to achieve great reforms over-night/, As yet the proposed strengthen-ing of'the traffic control forces has notbeen completed. 1 he :I0 miles an hourspeed limit in populated areas is notfullv observed, compulsory inspectionof motor vehicles is not in operation,and the investigations and recommen-dations of the Boad Safety Councilhave not been completed.
Lower Speeds Possible"These steps and several others will
be carried out this year, and if neces-sary I intend to persist until the roadsare made reasonably safe tor all users.If records for the new year show thatthe iSO miles an hour limit is too highin view of the number of smashes dueto excessive speed in the circumstancesthe speed will be lowered.
"The figures for the last severalmonths have convinced me that not-withstanding the fatalistic utterancesof those who claim that accidents willhappen the toll of the road can besubstantially reduced. It dejxmdspartly on the thoroughness with whichI and my colleagues in the field oftransport do our jobs, and I trust thatin the final analysis the people of thiscountry will find our efforts were wellworth while.
"There has been some adverse criti-cism with reference to the .'SO miles anhour speed limit in boroughs, but thisis the maximum speed, not the mini-mum," the Minister concluded. "Therehas been some anonymous criticism tothe effect that I have appointed onlytwo additional traffic inspectors. Actu-ally 12 additional appointments havebeen made. It will not bo the fault ofthe Transport Department -if the pre-sent' rate of accidents is not consider-ably reduced in future."

HOLIDAY PERIODDOMINION FIGURES
MORE INJURED INVOLVED
NO INCREASE IN KILLED
Nearly twice as many road accidentsoccurred throughout New Zealand dur-ing the present holiday season aswere recorded in that of 19.'55-.')6. Be-tween Christmas Kve and yesterday atotal of 16 motoring mishaps in whichpersons were killed and injured were re-ported. as against 26 for the corres-ponding period a year ago. Actually nomore •were killed, the number being sixover each period but the ~.'i persons in-jVthis year represented an increaseof IS over last year's figures.
In Christmas week there were manyaccidents due no doubt to the greatlyincreased number of vehicles conveyingliolidayniakers over the highways. Alto-gether 21 serious accidents were notiiicdon Christmas Day. Three resulted indeath. Ten of the '2l occurred in Auck-land, and many of them within theprecincts of the city and suburbs. Thefatal accidents occurred in Wellington,Hawera and Central Otago. There werealso tin v) fatal accidents at Christ-mas time last year, when altogether 15serious mishaps occurred.
During the lirst few days of the newyear the number of accidents was con-siderably fewer. They totalled 12, whichwas only one more than during thesame days of last January. Two personswere killed —a pedestrian who wasstruck by :i motor-cycle in Auckland,and a motorist, whose car struck abridge in Christchurch. Fifteen otherssuffered injuries necessitating hospitaltreatment. Four of the accidentsoccurred in and around the city ofAuckland, and another six within theprovince.
The Figures AnalysedOf the total number of accidents dur-
ing the period reviewed. 2:1 occurred illthe city of Auckland. Thirteen were re-ported from various parts of the pro-vince. Wellington and PalmcrstouNorth each reported three, there beingone fatality in the latter centre, andtwo accidents happened in Christ-church. Four further mishaps were an-nounced front Blenheim, Ashburton,Invcreargill and Wedderburn, CentralOtago. In the ]y3s-36 holidays Auck-land had 20 motor smashes, 11 of whichhappened in and about the city, andother serious occurrences were reportedfrom Wellington, Christchurch, Pal-mcrstou North, Tiniaru, Blenheim andAshburton.
Persons killed included three motor-ists, two pedestrians, and one motor-cyclist. Those killed in accidents theprevious Christinas and New \ear werethree motorists and three pedestrians.The persons injured during the pastweeks were 42 motorists, 16 motor-cyclists and 14 pedestrians. An invalidin a wheel-chair was hurled to theroad while being towed behind a motor-car, and a young woman suffered in-jury through falling out of a car. Six-teen motorists, seven pedestrians andtwo motor-cyclists were among thoseinjured in accidents a year ago.
Classes of Accidents
Six motorists were the most injuredin any one accident, and this was theresult of a collision in Wellington onChristmas Day. Five were injured inanother collision in Auckland some dayslater, and four, three and two personsrespectively, were hurt in other acci-dents. In the majority of instances onlyone person was injured. No one accidentresulted jn the death of more than oneperson. The most hurt in any accidentduring the previous Christmas holidayswas three motorists, who were involvedin a collision at Thames.
Fleven motor-cars in which peoplewere killed or injured were involvedin collisions with other cars, and one
collided with a tramcar. Five capsized,and two crashed after careering somedistance out of control. One toppledover a cliff at Albany, injuring threepassengers, and another struck abridge.
Jt is notable that there have been norailway-crossing accidents since Christ-mas. There was one last year, togetherwith four collisions, five capsizes, onecar running over a cliff, and anotherstriking a safety zone.
£lo,ooo PEARL NECKLACE
WITHDRAWAL FROM AUCTION
BUYERS PREFER DIAMONDS[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT]
LONDON, Dec. 19
After a beautiful pink pearl neck-lace had found no competitor to makean advance upon £'6Boo at Christie'sthe other day, it was withdrawn fromsale. One of the outstanding dealers in
the jewel market summed up thematter thus: "Every man in the tradeis well aware that this pearl necklaceis worth £'lo,ooo at least, in spite ofthe decline of values since people beganto buy the cultured imitations. Hutwe are still waiting for private buyersto come along and tell us that they aie
at last ready to purchase the realarticle. Jn the meantime some of usprefer to lay out our capital in dia-monds and emeralds, which ha\e a
quick sale, instead of locking up ourmoney in pearls, however tempting."
It appeared that the pearl necklace,sent by an anonymous owner, wouldreach the £IO,OOO goal, as the firstopen oiler was £.5000 and subsequentadvances were rapid until they stoppedsuddenly at £OBOO.
The present-day preference foremeralds and diamonds was evincedwhen a ring with a single octagonalemerald realised £540 and when abuyer paid £1220 for a necklace of 45diamonds. Another buyer gave £9OO fora single-stone diamond ring, £OOO foran emerald and diamond brooch, and£.mo for a pair of diamond ear-rings.The gross total of the day came to£17,511.

ROCKS STRUCKMISHAP TO LAUNCH
CRUISE OF THE SHENANDOAH
HITS PIERCY ISLAND IN FOG
Being driven through a heavy fogat full speed because the governor of theengine was out of order, the ."i.jlt. Diesellaunch Shenandoah struck the rocks atI'icre.v Island, near Cape Brett, earlyon (Christmas morning. Three membersof the crew scrambled ashore, hut theowner, Mr. H. R. .Jenkins, of Auckland,remained on the boat after she slippedoff the rocks and drifted helplessly inthe fog until daylight.
The impact caused both anchors totear loose and go overboard with theirwarps, hut although there was aboutoin. of water in the engine-room when.Mr. .Jenkins was able to take stock ofhis position at daylight, comparativelylittle damage was done and the launchwas taken to Opua for repairs. Newplanks were put in the, hull and stem,and the launch continued her cruise toAuckland, where she arrived yesterdaymorning, leaving again later in the dayfor a further cruise.
Mishap With Car
With his son, Mr. H. G. Jenkins, Mr.Jenkins left Auckland by car on Decem-ber :50 to join the Shenandoah at Opuafor a cruise to Auckland. A heavy fogcame down when they were on the wayand near Kaiwaka the car left the roadand somersaulted down a 6ft. hank.Mr. Jenkins and his son escaped withminor bruises, but the car had to lieabandoned and some new parts for theoil pump of the launch, including thegovernor arm, which they were carry-ing, were damaged, the governor beingbadly bent.
It was as a result of this that whenthey joined the launch at Opua andleft on the cruise shortly after mid-night, Mr. Jenkins was unable to reducespeed below 12 knots when a heavy fogcame up about half a mile from CapeBrett. Visibility was very poor and thelighthouse could not be seen. Mr. Jen-kins attempted to steer by the compasson a north-easterly course and thenchanged it to a northerly direction. Thelaunch ran into Pierev Island just pastthe Hole in the Wall, striking withconsiderable force.
Crew Jump AshoreMr. H. G. Jenkins and the two other
members of the crew, Messrs. B. Dono-van and P. Aldred, jumped on to therocks and stayed the night there untilMr. H. R. Jenkins, who in the mean-time had been drifting offshore with thelaunch when the strong current causedher to slide off the rocks, was ableto get the engine going and come into land for them.
The Shenandoah was then taken toOrupukapuka, it having been found thatthe engine would go up to 700 revolu-tions. Bailing had to be done most olthe way. From Orupukapuka theShenandoah was towed to Opua, whererepairs were made before the cruise toAuckland was continued without iurtherincident.
A GIANT CHEESE
WEIGHT OVER A TON
THE EMPIRE EXHIBITION
[from our own cokrkspondkxt]DURBAN. Dec. 'JO
The giant cheese at the Empire Ex-hibition at Johannesburg was manufac-tured in Fast Griqualand by a largeco-operative cheese factory on theinitiative of the superintendent ofdairying of the Department of Agricul-ture" and Forestry, it was made by themanaging cheesemaker of the factoryworking in co-operation with two ofli-cers of the Dairy Division of the de-partment.
The weight of this cheese is con-siderably over a ton, while it measures.'sft. 9in. in diameter and is •sft. inheight. About 400 cows produced the2-'SOO gallons of milk used for its manu-facture.
For the making and the handling ofthe curd six cheese-vats, with capacitiesvarying from .'SOO to (300 gallons each,were used.
Oil the morning of the day thecheese was made the large space iufront of the cheese factory was as busyas a beehive as milk was brought infrom all directions, mostly in large ten-gallon milk cans, by lorries, waggonsand ox-carts.
In tlie making of this big cheesemany difficulties were encountered, butthese were successfully overcome.Special steampipe lines had to be laidon, and a special mould had to bemade.
A special cage had to be made for theprotection of the cheese against thedepredations of rats or mice during thetime of curing, and a, native was onguard at night.
Thousands of people from all parts ofthe Kmpire have seen the cheese at theexhibition.
INCOME TAXDUE NEXT MONTH
EMBARRASSING INCREASES
SMALL SALARIES HARD HIT
A few months ago citizens who arefortunate, or unfortunate, enough tobe assessed for income tax had officialnotice sent to thein showing how muchthe State would require lrom themunder this heading. Mow that the timefor payment is within a few weeksmany taxpayers are scanning thesewarning documents again a little moreclosely.
Assuming that such intriguing calcu-lations as 31- Il3ths of a penny multi-plied by 1(51 have been correctly re-
duced to fact by the department (andmost taxpayers will gladly give it thebenefit of the doubt), the general im-pression gained is that the increaseover the previous years' figures liasbeen startlingly large.
Most citizens, though unaware ofany marked increase in their incomes,were prepared tor a substantial in-crease in the lax levied upon them,but they were hardly prepared to findit more than doubled, and in somecases even trebled. Yet this has beenthe result in a very large number ofcases; and it is upon the incomes rang-ing from £3OO to £<oo that the newrates fall most heavily. This ariseschiefly from the basic fact that theinitial rate on incomes of £2lO hasbeen increased from 7d in the poundto Is Sd, almost treble. It is in theincome taxpayer's favour that theexemptions of £2lO and of £SO for awife whose income does not exceed£SO remain constant and do not gradu-ally disappear with increasing incomeas they used to do. An effect of thisis that in a few rare eases a man'stax may be slightly less than it was
under the old scale. On the other handa taxpayer now receives no exemptionfor the sums lie has to contribute tothe unemployment fund.
Most hardly hit of all is the manwith an unearned income, for his rateis a third higher than that levied onearned income. As was clearly pointedout at the time, a strange anomaly ofthe new scale is that on the higherincomes, say from £BOO upward, therate of increase, and in some cases eventhe actual cash increase, is much higherthan it is on the lower incomes. Theaverage man, therefore, will just haveto find what consolation lie can in thisfurther proof that he is the backboneof the country, and pay up when thedue date comes round, reserving hiscomments for a future opportunity.
PLUNKET SHIELD
AUCKLAND TEAM RETURNS
FORM ON SOUTHERN TOUR
The Auckland Plunket Shield cricketteam, which recently completed itssouthern tour, embracing matchesagainst Canterbury and Otago. returnedto Auckland yesterday morning. Theside, which secured an outright, winagainst Otago and experienced a losson the first innings against Canter-bury, is at present leading in the Plun-ket Shield competition, being twopoints ahead of Canterbury.
The feature of the tour, accordingto the manager of the team, Mr. H.Duncan, was the wonderful battingpartnership between Whitelaw and Car-son in the Otago match. Carson's dis-play for 1200 was the best innings thathad ever been played on the Caris-brook ground, lie said. Carson im-
pressed with his splendid driving andhis ability to keep the ball on theground.
Whitelaw's sound batting bail beeninvaluable to the side in both matches.It was confidently anticipated in theSouth that both Carson and Whitelawwould be invited to make the trip toKngland with the New Zealand team atthe end of this season.
.Mr. .Duncan considered that thystandard of play shown by his teamwas fully representative of the bestDominion standard. Cowic and Mathe-son, although bowling under conditionswhich were not suitable to them, gavesplendid performances. The former wasrecognised in the South as the bestbowler of his type in the Dominion.The manager paid a tribute to thecaptaincy of H. 0. Vivian, who hadused excellent judgment in getting thebest out of his team, as well as re-vealing excellent tactics in dealing withthe various problems that had croppedup during the matches.
Weir played a great innings in theCanterbury match, said Mr. Duncan,while Spring, who is a former Canter-bury player, won praise for his abilityto keep an impeccable length. Me-diation, the experiment of the side,had come up to expectations. He hadgiven a particularly brilliant exhibi-tion of fielding in tho Canterburymatch.
.Mr. Duncan, who was a member ofthe first Otago team to win the Plun-ket Shield, brought back with him twoballs used in the Anckland-Otagomatch, in which Carson and Whitelawestablished their outstanding partner-ship. Each of the batsmen concernedwill receive one of these balls.

Australia's reputation for banningpersons, books, plays and films stillflourishes, and, in most instances, \ ic-toria and Victorians "have taken theleading [>art in imposing these prohibi-tions. The .Minister for the Interior,Mr. T. I'aterson, who issued the ukasewhich is stdl keeping .Mrs. M.

While the ban on the production ofOdets' play, "Till the bay I Die."is still provoking lively arguments inMelbourne, another controversy hassprung up round the decision to lorbidthe exhibition iu Victoria of an oldsilent film, "Ten Days That Shook theWorld," which deals with the RussianRevolution of 1917.

MOTORING RISKSOLD CUSTOM AFFECTED
"LIFTS" FOR PEDESTRIANS
FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Tim old custom of motorists stoppingon the roiid to give pedestrians a "lift"is now rapidly billing into disuse. I hisis not due to any growing discourtesyamong motorists as a class nor to anymarked growth in the American prac-tice of "hitch-hiking," hut is purelythe result of a legal position by whichany car owner who has mercy on afoot-weary pedestrian automatically as-sumes a serious financial risk.
Motor accidents nowadays are num-erous and if a driver with a passengeris involved in a collision with anothervehicle, he may easily be placed in theposition of having to bear at least partof the compensation costs in the easeof injury to his passenger. Accordinglymore than ordinary care is requiredwhen driving with passengers and, as
a result, even among the most cautiousof motorists there is a disinclinationto give "lifts" in the lordly fashionwhich was followed a few years ago.
Further complications have arisenunder the bniv Reform Act which waspassed by Parliament last year. T riderthis measure the Court is empowered
I to determine the degree of negligence! shown by drivers involved in a collision
i and to asses damages accordingly.Hypothetical Case
A hypothetical case may be quotedj to show how the law can place a heavy
j linancial burden on the shoulders of anj individual driver. A motorist may bedriving back from a beach or holiday
j resort and stop on the road to pick up; a pedestrian. A little further on he is
i involved in a collision with anothercar, the driver of which is not drivingcarefully, and as a result the erstwhilepedestrian is seriously injured. Ihepassenger then makes a claim on theother motorist tor £IOOO damageswhich is met under the latter's thirdparty insurance.
Care and ResponsibilityHowever, the Court may decide that
the driver of the ear in which the in-j jured person was travelling could have! avoided the accident, in spite of the
second motorist's negligence. His con-
i trihutor.v negligence may be assessed at1 one-third, and then the second driver's
! insurance money would automaticallyI have a claim against the original driverI for a third of the amount paid lin! damages. Unless this motorist had a
special passenger insurance cover, hei would be liable for the payment of aj considerable sum out of his own pocket.
Under the law, an injured passengermay bo only a pawn in the legal gamelOr the assessing of damages, lint forall that he can be a very distinct lia-bility. Only a lew years ago, whenthe motor traffic on the road was muchlighter, a motorist, could safely proceed011 the time-worn principle of "all carebut no responsibility." Now both careand responsibility are demanded ofhim by law.
MELBOURNE MURDER
WOMAN FATALLY STABBED
SEARCH FOR THE ASSAILANT
[ I'KOM OUR OWN COR RESPOND KN T JMELBOURNE, Dec. 31
Stabbed in the throat with a 14-inchcarving knife, Mrs. Rachel Walker,aged 43 years, second-hand dealer and6oardinghouse keeper, North A 1 01-bourne, staggered into the street andquickly bled to death on the footpath.Her jugular vein was severed, tallow-ing a quarrel with an assailant torwhom the police are still searching. Heis alleged to be an Italian, aged about35 years.
The murder was committed shortlybefore o p.m. on December 29. Theman for whom the police are searchinglias frequently been at -Mrs. Walker'sshop, and it is alleged that he was seento leave with a young Australianwoman, who was carrying a baby,shortly before the crime was discovered.The shop is in Victoria Street, whichis usually a busy thoroughfare, but oc-cupants of premises on both sides ofthe shop heard no sounds of struggleor distress and no one appears to havebeen passing along the street at thetime. Several lodgers live in the two-storeyed bluestone building in whichthe shop is situated, but they arewharf labourers, who were absent atwork at the time of the crime.
Inquiries show that between 4.30 p.m.and 5 p.m. tlie murdered woman wasseen playing with a baby outside theshop. She had apparently re-entered theshop with visitors, bloodstains werefound at the foot of the stairs leadingto the upper floor, and these led out tothe spot where the body was found.
Mrs. Walker traded as a second-handdealer under the name of Rainsford.Neighbours said that quarrels had oc-curred previously at her shop, whichwas often visited by foreigners. Mrs.Walker bad occupied the shop for aboutfour years. It is understood that shecame originally from Tasmania andthat she had been married three times.
It is thought that the Italian soughtby the police has gone to the country,probably to Gippsland. The woman whowas seen to pass Mr. Spielvogel's shopwith a foreigner was traced by thepolice yesterday, and was closely ques-tioned. An early development in thecase is expected.

Another suspected case of infantileparalysis was admitted to the Auck-land Hospital lavt evening. The patientis a young man, aged about 24. em-ployed on a farm in one ol the outersuburbs. When suspicious symptomswere noticed by his doctor yesterdayhe was immediately ordered to hospitalfor observation." It is too early yet to say whether
this is a positive case," said Dr. T.J. Hughes, medical officer of health atAuckland, last night. " The patient isin isolation and is being regarded andtreated as a case at present as aprecautionary measure. Later it will bepossible to determine whether the caseis positive."
Dr. Hughes said that the girl agedfour years who was admitted tp hos-pital last week was still the onlypositive case reported in Auckland. Hercondition had continued to improve.
The Auckland Centre of the New Zea-land Amateur Swimming Associationhas decided to exclude all children aged16 years and under from its swimmingcarnivals as long as the present posi-tion with regard to infantile paralysiscontinues. It was decided to advise allaffiliated clubs that in the meantimeevents for children of these ages wouldnot be permitted and that in additionthey should not be allowed admission |to carnivals.

"NEW LAID" EGGS
DEFINITION IN ENGLAND
QUESTION OF FOREIGN SUPPLY
[from our own correspondent]LOXDOX, Dec. 19
When a woman asks her grocer forsome "new-laid" eggs, does she expectto receive home or foreign produce?
The answer to this question may re-sult from a joint application which hasbeen made to the Minister of Agricul-ture by the National Farmers' Unionand the National Poultry Council to re-strict, by legislation, the term "new-laid" to eggs produced in this countryand neither stored nor preserved.
There is no adequate legal descriptionof a new-laid egg, the term being ap-plied to any egg that has not beenartificially preserved irrespective of itscountry of origin. A large section ofthe public, however, believe that anew-laid egg is one produced in thiscountry. When tbev ask for "new-laid"eggs they expect to receive Englisheggs, but in many cases they do notsee the indication of foreign originstamped on the eggs.
Strenuous opposition to the applica-tion is expected from the trade deal-ers. who claim that some eggs fromthe Continent are as fresh as a goodproportion of the home supply.
Eggs can reach London from Franceand Belgium more quickly than fromparts of England and Wales, and deal-ers claim that these are equally entitledto be described as "new-laid" as mostof the home supply.
It is also contended that limitationof tlie term "new-laid" to home-pro-duced eggs would deceive the public re-garding the quality of imported eggs,and that the effect would fall mostheavily 011 the poorer classes, who areobliged to buy the cheaper eggs.
Joint application has been made alsoto the Import Duties Advisory Com-mission for the raising of the tariff 011
imported dressed fowls, ducks, andgesso from 3d to 4.U1 per lb.
Turkeys have been excluded from theapplication as only 30 ]>er cent of thenation's requirements are produced inthis country, while over SO per centof other dressed poultry is home-pro-duced.
DOG IN BEAR'S BEN

SCIENCE CONGRESSIMPORTANT TOPICS
DEFICIENCY IN SOILS
TWO DAYS' DISCUSSION
PROBLEM OF MIGRATION
Among the multitude of topics to hediscussed nt the Auckland meeting of »
the Australian and New Zealand Asso-ciation for the Advancement of Sciencein Auckland next week are several ques-tions of major importance to both theCommonwealth and the Dominion.These will be dealt with for the mostpart at joint meetings of the varioussections interested.
Two days are to be devoted to a com-prehensive survey of the problem ofmineral deficiency in" soils. In this thechemistry, geology, agriculture, veterin-ary science and physiology sections willparticipate. The problem will be dis-cussed from four aspects, namely, thegeological, chemical, plant and agri-cultural, and nutritional and physio-logical. Altogether 18 papers and ad-dresses will be delivered, including oneon the classification and mapping ofsoils, by Professor J. A. Prescott, ofthe University of South Australia, andthe Liversidge Lecture, by Mr. T. Rigg,director of the Cawt-hron Institute, Nel-son, 011 soil deficiencies in New Zealand.Other papers will deal with deficienciesin such minerals as cobalt, calcium,phosphorus and manganese, the presenceof toxic substances, and the effects ofsoil deficiencies on plants and animals.
Migration PoliciesThe economics, history and geo-
graphy sections will combine in a dis-cussion on migration and colonisation,which will be dealt with historically andin regard to the present migrationpolicies of Britain, Australia and New-Zealand. Professor A. G. B. Fisher, of
j Otago University, will read a paperj entitled, " The Case Against Large-
| scale Migration," and Mr. H. R. Rod-well, of Auckland University College,

ADVERSE WEATHERWIND AFFECTS PLAY
BENNETT DEFEATS FOSTER
SCORE OF SIX REGISTERED
[HV TKLKGKAPH—SPECIAL ItKPOKTK.R 1WELLINGTON, Thursday
The pairs and singles were continuedin adverse conditions, the! outlyinggreens having a fair quantity of rain,but the city playing areas were notaffected to any great extent. A heavynortherly wind was a decided handi-cap and players had difficulty in find-ing the strength of the greens. Thoafternoon saw the wind still verytroublesome, but there was no rain.
A large gathering witnessed somefine play, notably Bennett's defeat offoster in the singles by a nine-pointsmargin and the dour struggle betweenBest and Evans. These games, withCarswell's, were tho main attraction.
A six was registered in a game atheadquarters this morning, a Shannonpair planting the possible on to a New-town opponent who "whiskered" thejack with both his howls when attempt-ing a burn.
A Good EfJortLast year's winner of the pairs,
Haworth (Canterbury), bv losing hisfifth game by a point, was eliminatedfrom this year's pairs, but his winfrom Carswoll in the third round ofthe singles was a good effort. He piledon 12 points with two fours in thetally and the veteran had to face adeficit of 12—1 on the sixth.
Then the latter got up to I,'i—B onthe ninth with two threes and singlesand was still down 18—9 on the 14th.He made a valiant effort from thenon and actuallv made the scores evenon the 18th with a sequence of fourheads, in which he gained nine points,only to see Haworth push up his blockshot and upset a head to count inhis favour. By losing a three and apair on the next end Carswell lost hischances of the singles by five points—a very plucky fight. Haworth wassubsequently defeated by Spearman(Sydenham), who had downed Hard-ley in a previous game.
In being eliminated from the singlesby Spearman (Sydenham), Loveridge(Matamata) put up a good fight andthe scores evened on several ends. The19th saw Loveridge lying the position,only to see a wick rob him of a surethree, and he went down bv a couple.His displays have been very good.
Engebretsen Not in FormEngebretsen (Napier) only won one
game in the doubles and did not showhis best form in this competition. Hemet Firth (Ponsonby) in the resump-tion of the singles at the Wellingtongreen and the latter was holding hisown up to the 14th, when lie wentfor a run when the Napier man layshot. Trying to fake it out for a fourhe snicked the jack to his opponent'swood for a loss of three. On the nextend Firth lay a good four and Enge-bretsen's last took the kitty to theditch for a three—an excellent driveand disastrous to the Ponsoubv player'schances. Firth never got n<>ar enoughto threaten the winner again.
Rolls, of Featherston, who has a vet-eran in J. Moriarty as his lead, hasput up a fine performance in obtain-ing five wins in the pairs at tho \ ic-toria green and has downed somenotable performers, but got a trounc-ing from the Onehunga pair in thenext outing to have 28—15 recordedagainst him.
Livingstone, who was fortunate inqualifying for his section in tho rinkswith only three wins, was one of thofour with this number to go forwardat Newtown. His defeat of Squire andMaslin on this green was a good effort,as the losers, a Hawera pair, were verydestructive in their tactics. 'J hey wonthe pairs in 1933 and their next oppo-nents by a coincidence turned out tobo Bremner and Hardley, who ran theHawera pair to a few, points in the pairsfinal at the last Wellington tourney.
Splendid GameA lot of interest was taken in this
game, in which Bremner, who isskipping, collected a full hand 011 thefirst end, a brace on the second andtwo singles to be ten nil on the fourth.A game de luxe was then turned 011
as Squire gradually mado_ up the lce-wav from being down 15—1 on theeighth. With Maslin laying the matwhile 11 points were collected theywere within striking distance and then"fireworks" commenced, no fewer thanseven ends being burned in tho latterstages with the West End players stillshowing a few points at tho finish. Forbowling enthusiasts this was tho tit-bit" of tho tourney so far.
Mingins and Higginbotham, afterwinning all five yesterday, drew thebye and then were victims to a strongattack by Nftvlor (Thorndon), who, ontho run' of 'the game, deserved hisvictory. The latter is playing well andis showing his winning rinks form oi1933 and will bo hard to beat.
Evans (Hamilton) lost to J. D. Best(Otago), but it was a fine game. Itwas very evenly contested, being 10-all at halfway and oven again on thesixteenth, when a four to the south-erner clinched the match. Ihe loserdrew some fine shots, but Best worriedhim during tho latter stages.
A Strong PairMeeting Foster (Caledonian), who
had been previously a victim to Ben-nett (Upper Hutt), the Waikato manplayed better than his opponent, andwith two pairs, a three and a quartetand singles ho was 16 to 8 on thothirteenth. At this stage he was verydeadly with his drawing and Posterhad to play into some beautifully-laidends. On the play Evans, partnered byWillev, is a strong proposition.
During the pairs big scores wereregistered at many greens. Thirty-twoto twenty-four was the highest sent in.Several others, such as 32—7, 32—!).
U2—14 and 30 —6 indicated tho trendof the game.
Of the 10 left in the- pairs Auck-land has five pairs to represent theprovince, as follows:—Henderson (Te
Awamutu), Bremner (West End), Liv-ingstone (Onehunga), McGonagle(Waihi) and Needham (West End).The progress of the Waihi pair. Burtand McGonagle, has been very keenlyfollowed and their standard of playhas been good.
Need ham, who has Wynyrrd as hislead, lias disposed of some good playersand his inclusion was fully expectedby Auckland players.
The rinks commence to-morrow amiwill bo continued for four days. Pla.vin the singles and pairs will probablyhe resumed either next Wednesday orThursday.
The single aspirants are:—Best,two-lifer, with a bye; Bremner,Mingins, Dickinson (Avon), Spearman(Sydenham), Thomas (Napier), Evans(Hamilton), Bennett (Lower Hutt),Hadwin (Hutt), Engebretsen (Napier),and Drackenridge (Lyall Bay). Four ofthese are ex-champions.

TESTING WEIGHTSWOEK IN AUCKLAND |
THOUSANDS OF CHECKINGS
PETROL PUMPS AND BOTTLES
In the past year the Weights andMeasures Department in Auckland,which operates over that portion ot theAuckland Province north ol 'lhaines,including the Coromandel l'eninsula,inspected and checked over 1100 petrolpumps and over 125.000 milk and oilbottles, and also tested over 1000weighing instruments and nearly 9000u eights.
These figures give an impressing in-dication ot the work done by the de-partment in Auckland, but they givevery far from the whole story. Iheinspection of petrol pumps is an annualaffair. In the first place, no petrol pumpcan operate until the head office inWellington has approved of the design.These ban; been in process ol con-siderable change. Originally petrolpumps were manually operated. andbefore a motorist got lull measure thehose had to be emptied. Hut meterpumps, operated by a motor, are lasttaking their place, and in these thehose is always full, so that the motorist,if the measuring apparatus is in goodorder, must get the correct measure.Another design now being installed alsocomputes the price on a dial lace. '1 heplans of the mechanism ol the modernpetrol pump are very intricate, and
| the inspector has to make hiiusellfamiliar with these l),v means of a scries
of prints supplied from Wellington. In-spections carry a fee, and lor the typoof pump that also computes the pricethe charge is 15s, against 10s for theordinary typo.
Safeguards with MilkAn inspector lias to ho a man of con-
siderable mechanical knowledge. Forexample, il any new types of weighingdevices are imported, reports on thosohave to he made to the head ollice,which approves or otherwise oi suchmachine.-:.
When the milkman pours out themilk he does so from a measure testedby the department. If the milk ishanded over to the householder, the re-ceiver can be certain that the bottlecontainer has also been officially tested.Before the glassworks at Penrose putsout a batch of milk bottles, an inspec-
tor checks each one. .Just inside theneck of the bottle is small beadingagainst which normally the cardboardstopper is pressed. An eighth of an inchbelow that is the datum line, up towhich tlie fluid niusi come. An allow-ance is made for error, either of de-ficiency or excess, in the container upto one drachm.
All scales in public use are, ofcourse, tested. This may be a feature ofmodern trade, but the ancients worejust as scrupulously insistent on truemeasures. One officer of the departmentcarries in his pocket book these linesfrom the .Book of Proverbs: —"A falsebalance is abomination to the l/ird. buta just weight is His delight." And theselines are in bis inside coat pocket,whether he is testing^minute scales fora laboratory, or one'of the HarbourBoard's 20-ton weighbridges, whichwith other weighbridges in Aucklandarc tested annually. For the testing oithese weighbridges the departmentkeeps ti stock of five tons in 501b.weights. These weights are themselvestested once a year, for they becomeworn with handling and periodicallyhave to be replaced.
Varied DutiesAnother duty 011 which inspectors arc
regularly employed is in testing theweights of certain foods, such as butter,tea, sugar and coffee, which are sold inpackets. By legislation such provisionsmust bo sold at standard weights, t oalcarts arc often accosted by inspectors,who carry with them scales for weigh-ing sacks of coal to see if they conformto the regulations. Another duty is totest various measures lor tinsmiths andother manufacturers before their goodsarc supplied to the public.
The Weights and .Measures Depart-ment has many shelves containingweights and measures, often of copper,bronze or brass. These are neverpolished, for they would then loseweight. There is actually a loss ofweight by corrosion, and so.at intervalsthey are tested by the head ollice inWellington. Some of the weights amimeasures used by the experts in Well-ington are never handled, being pickedup by tongs in order to prevent loss bywear.
Standard MeasuresBut even the department's measures
in Wellington have to he tested attimes, and there is legislative, provisionfor this being done. The standard poundand yard measures are sent to Knglandto see that they are exactly equal tothe Imperial standard pound or stand-ard yard measure. The pound measureused in England is a cylinder ofplatinum, which does not corrode, andit. is always lifted by an ivory fork, theedges of which are carefully roundedoff. The standard yard measure is asolid bar of bronze, into which are settwo gold plugs, the centres of which are,36in. apart. The temperatures at whichthe tests are made have an importantrelation to the result.
The grdlon is (he standard measureof capacity from which all othermeasures for liquids or dry goods arederived, and it may therefore be ofinterest to state that (he standard forthe gallon is ten Imperial standardpounds of distilled water, weighed inair against brass weights with waterand air at 62 degrees l'\, and with thebarometer fit 'Win. These details rathergo to show that there is no more exactscience than that of measuring, whichis the basis of most of the sciences.

TUNEFUL OPERA"I'IHATES" PRESENTEDATTRACTIVE PERFORMANCE
CHARM, BEAUTY AND HUMOUR
All the charm and beauty, thehumour and the romance ol •" IhoPirates of Penzance," one of the mosttuneful works of Gilbert and Sullivan,was interpreted with a eonsumniateskill by members of the .!. C. \\ illiamsonOpera Company in their presentationat His Majesty's Theatre last nipht. Alargo audience found the performanceattractive in every respect.
Through the absurdity of its story,"The Pirates of Penzance" is stampedas being typically Gilbertian. Along itsmelodious course runs the tale of the
man apprenticed to a pirateband until his 21st birthday and cursed
j through having been born on a 29thI day in February. How all is unravelled
j so that the play comes to the typically1 happy musical-comedy conclusion is
: glorious entertainment.: Especially line portrayals were given! by the principals last evening, all sing-
i ing and acting in the true Savoy tra-I dition. As in the presentation by the
same company nearly a year ago, how-i ever, the players showed that they werenot wedded to that tradition, par-ticularly by I lie interpretation of thefamous Policeman's Chorus in whichone verse was sung with a broad O.v-
---i ford accent. No exception could be1 taken to this or other occasional
; touches of moro modern comic "busi-ness," for all were in keeping with
i the spirit of the play.As .Mabel, .Miss Strella Wilson gave
| one of the most delightful jjerform-i ances of the evening and her rendering
I of "Poor Wandering One" was executedwith a sweetness and charm that israrely achieved in the singing of thispopular air. The duet, " Stay, Frederic,Stay," given with Mr. Godfrey Stirling,was also well received, and Mr. Stirlingalso earned applause with the song,"Oh, Is There Not One MaidenBreast."
Mr. Bernard Manning made a wel-come reappearance in his role as thepirate king and his robust singing andacting captivated the audience. He hadstrong support from Mr. Clifford Cow-lew as Samuel, his lieutenant. Asusual Mr. Ivan Monzies provided plentyof humour in the part of Major-Gen-eral Stanley, a very military gentle-man possessed of a very largo family ofattractive daughters. Miss Evelyn Hallperformed admirably as Ruth, a piratemaid-of-all-work, and Richard Watson,as the sergeant of police, drewmuch laughter through his farcicaldemeanour. As daughters of Major-Gen-eral Stanley, Miss Augusta Poole, MissMargaret Kelly and Miss Nina Robbinsgave satisfactory portrayals. Chorusand orchestral work were excellentthroughout.
Prior to " The Pirates of Penzance,"the brief but extremely funny "Trialby Jury" was presented. Leading roleswere taken by Mr. Clifford Cowley,Miss Eileen Kelly, Mr. Vincent Mc-Murray, Mr. Gregory Stroud, Mr.Tommy Jay, Mr. Frapk Bermingham,.Mr. Don Bernett and Miss MargaretKellv."lolantho " will be the opera on to-
night's programme and will be givenonly one staging. A single performancealso of " The Yeomen of the Guard"will be given to-morrow night, while" The Pirates of Penzance" will be re-peated to-morrow afternoon. The com-pany's Auckland season will concludewith four performances of "LilacTime," starting on Monday.

BAIL REFUSED BY BENCH
[ KKOM OUll OWN COIIK KSI'ON OENIJHAMILTON, Thursday
Two charges of forging cheques forjj2:s and i"-o, and causing Joseph Yar-
nev and N. H. Hooker, of Hamilton,to act on them as if they were genuine,were preferred against Lawrence \ i\ ianFairhall, aged 2'J, described as a jour-
nalist, in the Hamilton Police Courtto-day.
In opposing accused's request for bail,Detective \\hite said that alter thecommission ot the ollcnccs, accusedwent to Australia. He got all the moneyhe could from his aunt before he went,lie returned to New Zealand as a stow-away on the Awatea, and was arrestedin Wellington under an assumed name.There was 110 guarantee that if ho weregranted bail he would appear.
Accused repeated his request, butMr. White said it would bo an injusticeto expect anyone to go bail for him.He had no stake in the country. Theevidence would show that accused ob-tained the money for the purpose ofleaving.
Accused had said he was well knownin Hamilton. He was also well knownin Australia, Mr. White added.
The presiding justice, Mr. G. W.Tlvde, declined the. application. Ac-cused was remanded to appear atHamilton on January, 11.

ENTERTAINMENTSPLAZA THEATRE
A gripping story of the keepers oflaw and order in. the far West oiAmerica is revealed in "Texas Rangers,''which will be screened for the firsttime at the Plaza Theatre to-day. Thefilm is dedicated to the body of mencalled tho Texas in whosestern and capable hands was placed thedifficult task of maintaining securityfor the early settlers of America's vastterritories. The principal male parts arc-»ably taken by Fred MacMurray andjack Oakie, both of whom are verywell known on the screen, while thevivacious actress Jean Parker is re-sponsible for some fine acting in thepart of the heroine. The earlier partof the programme will be taken up withan entertaining selection of shorter ) PIC "
tures, which includes "Play Don, amusical film, and a "Pop-eye" cartoonentitled "I Wanna Be a Lifeguard
MAJESTIC THEATREThe moving story of a "G-Girl," or
female detective, who poses as a crim-inal in order to track down a group of"racketeers" in the underworld of NewYork, is convincingly told in "SwornEnemy," which is to have its initialscreenings at the Majestic Theatre to-day. The well-known player JosephCalleia is prominently cast and givesan excellent characterisation of theleader of the criminal gang. The ro-mantic interest is in the capable handsof Robert Young and Florence Rico,while Lewis Stone is seen to advantagein a less important role. "It's a Great.Life" is a further attraction.
CIVIC THEATREPaul Robeson, whose glorious voice
contributed largely to the success of"Show Boat" and "Sanders of thoRiver," again appears to advantage inthe outstanding musical film "Song ofFreedom," which is attracting capacityaudiences to the Civic Theatre. Possiblythe finest negro bass to be heard on thescreen. Robeson sings several extremelytuneful songs. "Stepping Stones, '
"Lonely Road" and "Sleepy River" areamong those which are proving mostpopular.
REGENT THEATRELight entertainment of an exception-
ally high standard is provided in "Cainand Mabel," which is now in its secondweek at the Regent Theatre. Appear-ing for the first time together, ClarkGable and Marion Davies have justifiedtheir selection to fill parts which de-mand a great amount of skill. Thepicture is another triumph for the suc-cessful producers Warner Brothers,whose reputation for high-class enter-tainment vis greatly enhanced by theoutstandisg quality of the present film.
NATIONAL THEATRERiotous comedy ably handled by the
wide-mouthed American comedian JoeE. Brown is to be enjoyed at theNational Theatre to-day when "Earth-worm Tractors" will commence a sea-son. Cast in the role of a tractor sales-man of the "high-pressure" type, thecomedian has ample opportunity for |the exercise of the talents which haveearned him a place in the front rankof the world's comedy actors. Laughscome in plenty from the other players,among whom June Travis and GuyKibbee are the most notable. Thelatter will be remembered for numer-ous highly entertaining portrayals,mostly given in minor roles. Amongthe supporting features are a "VincentLopez" Radio Parade and "TopNotch," a screen vaudeville. "MidgetTroupe" also is or. the programme.
EMBASSY THEATREContaining some of the most attrac-
tive desert scenes that have been seenon the screen for a considerable time,''The Garden of Allah," with MarleneDietrich in the principal feminine role,continues to be screened before largeaudiences in its third week at theEmbassy Theatre. The chief part is inthe hands of Charles Boyer, who hasproved himself to bo an actor of nomean ability by his performances insuch films as "Caravan" and "MyAmerican Wife." Further assurance ofentertainment considerably above theaverage is given by the fact that thefilm was produced under the capabledirection of David 0. Selznick.
STRAND THEATREThe dramatic film "There's Always
To-morrow," with Robert Taylor andBinnie Barnes in the main parts, willcommence a season at the StrandTheatre to-day. Frank Morgan, whoseperformances in recent films havebrought him to the front rank of pres-ent-day actors, gives another fine por-trayal. The second film on the pro-gramme is entitled "Love Letters ofa Star," in which Henry Hunter hasthe principal part. Polly Rowles playsopposite him.
STAR CINEMAFamous for the remarkable portrayal
given in the principal feminine role byElisabeth Bergner, "Escape MeNever," together with "The BrideComes Home," in which Claudette Col-bert appears, will be shown for thefirst time at the Star Cinema to-day.Both films, although of an entirelydifferent character, provide refreshingentertainment.

ST. JAMES* THEATRE !
With an outstanding cast, which in-cludes William Powell, Luise Rainer,Mvrna Loy and Virginia Bruce, "ThoGreat Ziegfeld" continues to bescreened before large and appreciativeaudiences at St. James' Theatre. Forher performance in the part of AnnaHeld, Miss Rainer has gained the dis-tinction of having given the best fem-inine portrayal in any film produced in1936. Frank Morgan, in the part ofMr. #
Billings, and Fanny Brice as her-self, also give fine performances.
ROXY AND TIVOLI THEATRESTwo pictures which are being shown
for the first time in New Zealand,"Trailin' West" and "Barred Win-dows" comprise the attractive double-feature programme at the Rosy andTivoli Theatres.

PROGRESS OF CINEMA
THE PARAMOUNT COMPANY
SILVER JUBILEE CELEBRATED
The days of the old "penny arcades"and the "Hale Touring Cars," fore-runners of the modern motion picture,were recalled by Mr. F. B. Thompson,Auckland manager of Paramount Pic-tures, at a staff luncheon Mield yester-day to mark the silver jubilee of thecompany. The 25th anniversary of thefoundation of the original company fallsthis year and it was observed yesterdayon the birthday of its founder, Mr.Adolph Zukor, a pioneer and leader inthe motion picture industry. Similarluncheons were held throughout theworld in the 37 different countries inwhich Paramount branches are estab-lished.
Mr. Thompson's speech at the Auck-land luncheon comprised a sketch ofthe remarkable career of Mr. Zukor,and, as such, virtually traced the his-tory of motion pictures from the olddays of flickering films and frequentfaults to the modern miracle of speak-ing shadows and natural colours on thescreen.
Mr. Thompson described how Zukor,in 1904, invested money in the "pennyarcades," the popular cheap amusementof the day. Films at that time wereflickering, distorted efforts, generallydespised, but Zukor entered intopartnership in the entertainment deviceknown as the Hale Touring Cars. Asmall store was converted to look likea railway carriage and, with amechanical contrivance, was made torattle and move like one. Patrons
I entered at one end of the car and,I sitting across the observation platform,
saw scenic films projected on a smallscreen. The venture finally broke downwhen the supply of films failed but itwas an indication of the future of themotion picture.
Up to 1912, Zukor had acted prin-cipally as an early motion picture show-man,' but he then decided to producepictures for himself and formed theFamous Players Corporation, fromwhich the Paramount Company hassprung. During the war the FamousPlayers-Lasky Corporation was formedand later this was reorganised into theParamount Pictures Company, of whichMr. Zukor is still chairman of directors.
POLICE COURT NEWS
INDICTABLE CHARGES
THREE PRISONERS REMANDED"Both matters are based on the one
set of circumstances," said Sub-Inspec-tor Fox in the Police Court yesterday,when a Samoan fireman on the Karetu,George Riley (Mr. Singer), aged 34,pleaded not guilty to a charge of steal-ing on Wednesday three tins of jam,a tin of salt and a bottle of pickle6valued at 4s 3d, the property of theUnion Steam Ship Company, and aMaori labourer, William George Payne,aged 2S, admitted a charge of receiv-ing the articles from Riley, knowingthem to have been dishonestly obtained.The magistrate, Mr. C. 'II. Orr Walker,granted a remand of both prisonersuntil to-day.
A charge of breaking and enteringthe house of Gwen Marie Pountney atRemuera on December 31, was preferredagainst Thomas Richard Key (Mr.Aekins), carpenter, aged 23, who wasremanded, on the application of De-tective-Sergeant McHugh, until Mon-day.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORTHE FARM LABOUR PROBLEM
Sir,—The Hon. H. T. Armstrongagain endeavours to pass off lightlythe crisis which faced many farmersin the Waikato in the matter of farmlabour. The acute shortage of assist-ance has passed because we realisedthe plight the Government put us in,and as far as harvesting is concernedthis year a much earlier start wasmade, and an extraordinary concentra-tion to speed up the work was under-taken. The Morrinsville camp wasestablished at .a time when men werealready scouring the district looking invain for harvesting. Men I spoke totold me that the general disinclinationto engage labour was due to the rateof wage demanded. Many women andsmall boys entered the fields, other-wise greater difficulty would have re-sulted. Mr. Armstrong must know thata desperate need existed for milkers,the shortage forcing women and chil-dren into sheds. What is required isa series of meetings, to go into thecrisis, which, from Mr. Armstrong's re-marks, the Government fails to recog-nise. There is no doubt about it, theGovernment has ridden roughshod overthe farmers. For the sake of our wivesand families there is a limit. Solo.
REOPENING OF SCHOOLS
Sir,—I hope the opinion voiced by"A Teacher of Considerable Experi- \cnco" quoted in the Hrkald of Janu-ary 5 as to the reopening of schoolsat the normal time in February will notbe universal. As a parent of young child-ren and an ox-teacher of over ]0 years'experience, I deem it most unwise toplace, for one moment, any scholasticachievement above the health of pupils,particularly when the tragic results ofeven a comparatively mild attack ofinfantile paralysis
"
are considered.Better a thousand fail to pass "matri-culation and other important examina-tions," even after "a year of terrifictrial on the part of teachers andpupils," than that a score should spendruined lives as cripples. It seems futileindeed to send our children to thegreat risk of closely crowded school-rooms in hot weather, so that teachersmay observe early symptoms, etc. Asan ex-infant mistress, I am only toowell aware that a conscientious teacherof, perhaps, 50 children can notice onlyobvious signs of illness, and surelythen it is too late for others if not forthe victim. Responsible parents are cer-tainly isolating their children. We havebeen told definitely that the risk ofinfection is increased by children con-gregating indoors, so surely they aresafer in the open air of sea beachesor parks, failing complete segregation.
Parent.
UNNECESSARY NOISE
Sir,—As a member of the medicalprofession I am naturally interested inthe above. There is scarcely anythingso injurious to the health of the adultthan disturbances at night. As an oldresident of Buenos Aires, and of themedical profession there, I had a lotto do with the trouble caused by noisesat night; but we established a societythere for the controlling of the trouble,and now there is very little to complainof. In place of the noisy tram we havethe trolly car; all motors and bicyclesare compelled to use silencers; the noisyradio has to be turned down so as notto disturb the neighbours; and shrillwhistles are prohibited after 6 o'clock.In short, all noises that are classedas injurious are prohibited.
Alter Idem.
Sir,—The executive of the NoiseAbatement Society would like to ex-press appreciation to the Herald forthe publicity given in its columns,editorially and otherwise, and to yourcorrespondents who have expressed con-cern in regard to the vital matter ofavoidable noise. We regret to have tofrankly admit that the efforts whichthis society (consisting of a very smallgroup) has made have seemed lackingin encouragement, and it is gratifyingto hope, by the indications in yourcolumns, that the public is beingaroused from apathy. AAe take the op-portunitv to mention to those inter-ested that this society offers a heartywelcome to all who are able to givesupport either by personal work orfinancially. In connection with the lat-ter may'we be permitted to mentionthat although all work has been honor-ary this would have been much morerestricted but for a guarantor (anony-mous) who enabled the society to func-tion. More than one of your corres-pondents has referred to the "DriveAgainst Din," a copy of which will bogladly posted to all inquirers.
H. Burton,President.
The Noise Abatement Society.
TOBACCO GROWING
Sir—Having read the sub-leaderunder the heading '"lobacco for Ex-port," together with the quoted re-marks of Mr. Willis, I leel it incum-
bent to sound a note of warning which,coming, as it does, from one who liasbeen intimately connected with the in-dustry for the past seven years, maybe taken in good part by those in-terested. To begin with therebeen thousands of pounds lost in Auck-land Province in the past in tryingto establish tobacco growing. Experi-mental crops are now being grown byone of the largest manufacturing firmsoperating in this country which shouldbo watched v'ith the keenest interestbefore another penny is sunk in theindustry. Given success it is one of thegreatest crops which those on smallholdings can turn their attention tobut, converselv, it is one which cancause the greatest disappointment andloss from a financial point of view.It is significant that growing for aconsiderable number of years has beentried in this province without suc-cess; that all the manufacturing com-panies have been giving contracts togrowers in the Motueka district in in-creasing volume latterly; and.that evendown there there are numbers ofgrowers who have made failures finan-cially in spite of the intimate know-ledge, gained through years of experi-ence, placed at their service. The landfound most suitable is light and sandyalong the banks of the Motueka Riverand along the near by valleys. Foryears tobacco has been grown through-out the British Empire in the desireto obtain a leaf equal to that grownin Virginia. In the Nelson district thelight golden-coloured fine leaf pro-duced ihere has resulted in the highrange of prices recently realised onour last export venture. Experts havestated that there is little, if any, dis-tinction between it and the finest Vir-ginian. Another point of significance isthe fact that Nelson is the hop-pro-ducing centre and, as farmers downthere grow both hops and tobacco. inadjoining lands, the main factor in thesuccess must be climatic. The prevail-ing winds are salt-laden, the days aresunny and hot, and there is yet a use-ful percentage of rain, all of which helptoward a successful crop. Some ideaof the rapid growth can bo obtainedfrom the fact that tobacco is a 90-daycrop, requiring constant work and at-tention from well-trained and efficientgrowers. Thero is room for extension inthe industry in the Nelson district, andwe will see closer settlement with fami-lies able to make a good living off fiveand 10-acro farms, but can this bodone elsewhere? Experience so far saysdistinctly and definitely, "Not"Henco this note of warning.

SCIENCE IN FARMINGPARASITIC INFECTIONRESULT OF ILL-HEALTH
METHODS OF PREVENTION
; IMPORTANCE OF MINERALS
' BY H.B.T.
Whether poor sheep become infectedwith parasites or parasites make sheeppoor, has long been a debated subjectamong sheepmen.
It is certainly a fact that, in so faras external parasites, such as ticksand lice, are concerned, they are seldomfound on sheep which are in good con-dition.. This can be accounted for bythe fact that both are blood-suckinginsects. There is practically no circula-tion of blood in the skin of the sheep,and if, underneath this, there is alsoa layer of fat—again carrying no blood-vessels—the parasites cannot puncturethose two layers and get at 'theblood. They then either die of starva-tion or migrate to more promising hosts.
A Sign of AnaemiaRegarding internal parasites, tho
position is more obscure, but it is stillfairly certain that healthy and well-fed sheep are not acceptable hosts forworms, at least. Many years ago, Pro-fessor Varnell pointed out that worms(in horses) were not red-bloodedanimals, and asserted that if the hostwere supplied with plenty of iron inhis system this acted as a poison tothese parasites. Applying this theoryto sheep, the writer drenched a numberof marked hoggets (part of a largerflock) with sulphate of iron, and yardedthem for 24 hours for observation. Avast number of dead worms was voidedby these treated sheep toward the endof the starvation period, but, as a fairnumber could also be seen in the drop-pings of the controls, it was impossibleto make a definite assertion as to theeffectiveness of the iron. Further, insuch a test, drenching with iron andsubsequent observation must necessar-ily be continued over a considerableperiod. The time is seldom availableon the average sheep farm for suchexperiments, and on the occasion underreview little further could be doneother than note the subsequent condi-tion of the animals..Satisfied that, at least through im-
proving tho general health of the hog-gets, iron played an important partin suppressing these parasites, the wholeflock was put on a medicated lick con-taining a large proportion of iron.
It is not suggested that this veryincomplete and inconclusive test provesthat abundant iron in the blood-streamis an effective cure for internal wormsand similar parasites in sheep, butthe writer is convinced that if sheepare kept healthy parasites will givelittle trouble.
Iron an EssentialIn the confinement of domestication
sheep are denied many of the plants,■with high mineral content, which theywould be able to get in their wild state.We cannot duplicate these in our pas-tures, but, knowing that sheep—especi-ally quickly-growing lambs and hoggets—require abundant minerals to enrichthe blood and form sound bone andmuscle, we should do our best to supplythese.
Iron is very essential, as it is themedium which conveys oxygen fromthe lungs to all the tissues. Everysheepman know 3 that one of the firstindications of worm infection in hog-gets is the pale, anaemic appearanceof the sheep's gums and the under-side of the eyelids. It 6eems logical,therefore, to combat this anaemia bygiving the lambs iron, whether thismay be " poison " to the worms or not.
■ Scientists are continually discoveringnew directions in which minerals playimportant parts in the control ofanimal diseases. Iron and cobalt arenecessary in the diet of " bush-sick "
stock; lime, either ingested prior toparturition or injected into the bloodstream at calving, prevents and curesihilk fever; iodine stimulates variousductless glands, thus enabling the as-similation of many other minerals, andmanganese (or rather its deficiency), itis suspected, plays an important partin causing the disease among 6beep andcattle known as " stomach staggers."
In any case, it is certain that, ifisheep are kept in a healthy conditionthrough a supply of ample good food,supplemented by a salt lick contain-ing those minerals which it is knownthat they require, very little troublewill be experienced from internal para-sites.
Diseases and EpidemicsIt is fairly safe to say, then, that
parasites, both external and internal,are an indication rather than a causeof poor condition in sheep. This mustnot be read as advice against dippingor drenching obviously infected stock,but only as indicating that when sheepare properly fed there will be little orno disease.
Medical men are in agreement thatthe majority of the ailments from whichchildren suffer result from incorrector mir eral-deficient diets. There is awidespread opinion among them, also,that most of the epidemics which afflictboth young and old are directly trace-able to a widespread lowered vitalityresulting from seasonal deficiencies inthe average diet. The resultant weak-ness and lack of resistance enabledisease germs to gain a footing wherethey would ordinarily be harmless. Ifthis applies to human beings, who havean almost unlimited range in the choiceof foodstuffs, it must necessarily 'applyto a much greater extent to our domes-ticated animals, which must, perforce,be satisfied with the pasture which weprovide in their paddocks, too oftenwithout any supplement in the form of
;ft mineralised salt lick.
A DIPPING TIP
■SUBSTITUTE FOR "SMEARING"
In districts where the sheep have tosuffer a lot of wet weather, it is a goodplan to secure a drum of the cheapestoil available—crude oil such as is usedfor diesel engines is satisfactory. Adda gallon of this to the dipping mixturefor each hundred sheep as they are putthrough. This oil floats on top of thedipping mixture and adheres to thewool along the back and sides as thesheep come oift. I have found it veryeffective in keeping the wool fromgetting dry and wasty on the tips, andthe sheep from getting soaked to theskin during long wet spells. This oilshould only be used when dipping soonafter shearing. If used when the wool islong it will damage its appearance, andway not work out prior to the nextshearing.
*
Adding oil to the dip as suggestedhns much the same effect as thatsecured by sheepmen in Scotland whoused to " smear " their sheep withbutter and tar to protect the wooland sheep from the elements. They,of course, applied the " smear " to theskin by opening up the fleece at inter-vals of about two inches, and rubbingit. in with the tips of the fingers. Thiswas applied at the beginning of the■printer and was considered to give ex- Ibellent protection from the weather, I
WOOLGROWERS' LOSSES
"BIDI BIIH " IN WOOL
EFFECT OF SHEARING DELAY
ILL-CONSIDERED LEGISLATIONny H.B.T.
Becauso of its widespread influenceon tho prosperity of nil sections of thecommunity the substantial rise inwool values experienced this seasonhas been generally welcomed. The extraearnings of the woolgrowers, whichmight aggregate four to five millionpounds, rapidly goes into circulationthrough financing merchants, banksand employees of the farmer.
Among the latter shearers and shedhands have enjoyed a considerable in-crease in the rates paid for their work,and it may be honestly said that wool-growers generally have been glad ofthe opportunity of sharing their goodfortune with these very necessary andusually efficient workers.
As a result of recent legislation, how-ever, which compulsorily reduced thoweekly working hours of both shearersand shed hands, there has been con-siderable disorganisation combined withloss to both woolgrowers and shear-ing employees, not to mention thenational loss of income which must in-evitably result.
Shortage of ShearersShearing is a specialised work to
undertake which men must have con-siderable training and experience. Thishas limited the number of shearers inthe Dominion to sufficient only to putthe work through satisfactorily whentlie weather and other limiting condi-tions are normal. Extra efficientshearers cannot be trained in a matterof weeks, or even in a season, andthe result, this year, has been thatin many districts shearing operationshave been seriously delayed.
A combination of shorter hours forshearers, the attraction of other highly-paid unskilled work, and unusually wetweather has meant that many lloeksnormally out of the wool at the end ofDecember are still awaiting shearing.Tn all instances this means that thelate-shorn clips will be very heavy ingrease and the sheep will not do sowell as when shorn at the usual timeBut in many instances the delay hasstill more serious consequences thanthese. Tn the Bay of Plenty. PovertyBay, Southern Hnwke's Bay and thecoastal areas of the Wairarapa grasses,and particularly bidibidi, ripen andtheir seeds seriously contaminate thewool if shearing is not. completed early.
A Unanimous PetitionWhile this fact was apparently over-
looked by the Minister when he in-stituted the 40-hour week for shearers,both woolgrowers and these seasonalemployees quickly realised that thechange would affect them disastrously.Strong representations from both em-ployers and shearers quickly determinedthe Minister—for this reason at least—-to remove the restriction regarding thehours to bo worked.
Even the temporary delay, however,has had serious results. In many dis-tricts where shearing is normallystarted early on account of bidibidi.the growers managed to get the woolfrom the dry sheep away to the earlvsales, and this realised excellent prices.The early delay in shearing, resultingfrom the shorter hours worked, com-bined with subsequent wet weather hashowever, meant that many flocks ofewes and lambs are still unshorn. Theseare now black with bidihidi, and it isanticipated that the woo! from theseis now deteriorated in value by prac-tically 50 per cent.
111-advised legislation such as thiswhich benefits neither the shearer—whois paid at per hundred sheep shorn —
nor the farmer who must inevitablysuffer a big loss of income from hiswool, is doubly unfortunate in a yearof high wool prices when all might havebenefit-ad to the full after a long periodof depression.
Essential Farm RoutineIn the primary producing industries
long experience has evolved a routinefor each, which alone enables the workto he done at the time essential tosecure best results. Any serious disloca-tion of this programme must inevitablyspell loss, and perhaps disaster, to theindustries on which the prosperity ofthe Dominion mainly depends.
The results of recent legislation indi-cate that, in the hurry to improve theconditions for employees, too little in-quiry by those responsible has beenmade from practical and experiencedfarmers as to its effect on production.To maintain the higher standard ofwages and living, which is the Gov-ernment's objective for the employee,it is vitally necessary to consider alsothe welfare of the employer, especiallywhen, as with the farmer, his returnsare entirely dependent upon his workbeing efficiently done at tho correcttime or season.
WHEAT-STRAW MEAL
NEW STOCK FOOD
It will be a surprise to many to learnthat wheat-straw contains 5.70 percent of sugar, or rather more than thatof average sugar-corn, of which thebest varieties yield no more than 8 percent.
It has been found that although thisamount does not exist in a free statein wheat-straw, yet by the applicationof steam at various pressures thesaccharine content of the wheat stalk isemphasised and developed until that re-sult is obtained, thus making wheat-straw a valuable adjunct to the winterfeed of cattle.
With the gradual replacement ofhorse-drawn vehicles in Britain bymotor-traffic, the problem of the eco-nomic disposal of wheat-straw by thefarmers has become acute. Apart fromthe small quantity now required forbedding, packing and in the manufac-ture of straw-board boxes, there ispractically no sale, and the farmers inmany areas have been compelled toburn it on the land.
It was while experimenting withwheat-straw in the hope of making abetter straw-board for boxes that thechemist noticed that the ground andsteamed straw-meal he had producedhad a strong sugary smell. He promptlyproceeded to analyse it with the fol- ilowing results: —
Moisture .. .... 7.7.5
Oil 1.20Albuminoids (Protein)
.. 2.05fiuffar .. .. .. 5.70Other dipestible carbohydrates 32.45Crude Fibre .. .. 41.05Minerals .. .. .. 8.30
100.000An analysis made of the manure
revealed that ovor 62 per cent had beendigested. It will be observed that whilethe content of carbo-hydrates is high,those of albuminoids and oil were low,and therefore, while forming a usefulbase for a stock food, there is needfor additions.
The shortage of albuminoids can bemade good by the admixture of brokenor damaged wheat, and the deficiencyin oil, which is only slightly below thatcontained in barley, by the addition ofricemeal.

THS FLAMING CAVERNBy ANGUS MacVICAR
Author of "The Screaming Gull," etc.
(COP I'M GET)
CHAPTER VI.STRANGK DOINGS AT STOHN lIOUHIS
Prompted by some instinct which,unless it arose from his new desire forextreme physical fitness, was difficult tounderstand, David ordered a light lunchat mid-day, and thereafter slept forthree hours in his room. Then, theeffects of his wakefulness during theprevious night having been dissipated,ho ordered a taxi to bring him to StornHouse, in Mayfair.
Now, this action of resting on hispart may be regarded as a turning-point in the queer tale of the FlamingCavern and MacPhedran of the Harelip.And it provides another example ofthe small and apparently unimportantevents upon which the course of inter-national politics is dependent.
He was looking forward to seeingBona, for the Oriental messenger hadstated definitely that she would be atthe rendezvous in tlio afternoon. Andhe was determined to be at his Ijest inher presence. Ho could not hope tocompare in good looks or brilliance withSir William; but, after all, ho toldhimself, girls didn't always desire in anuan good looks and brilliance alone.And then, as if he had run against ahigh wall, the question came to him:What outstanding trait of characterdid he possess that Sir William lacked?And quickly he found the bitter answer—not one!
Shaking from liis Celtic depression,David quitted the taxi at the northernend of Clarice Street and strode on to-ward the towering bulk of Storn House,less than fifty yards away. It rosefrom among a huddle of less preten-tious buildings like a squat rock ona stony shore. With its ornate finishand in tho peculiar suggestion ofOriental influence about its architect-ure, tho mansion was obviously of theRegency period; and vaguely Davidwondered concerning its owner. Theman, ho considered, must have had aprincely income to maintain a houseof such dimensions.
Outside the entrance an old man wassweeping a few dead Jcuves along thegutter; and impulsively David fished inhis pocket and offered tho ragged,
pinched creature a halferown."Who lives in Storn House, old fel-
low?" he asked. "A millionaire?"" Thank'ee, young sir," he whispered,
in a peculiar accent which savouredof the country rather than of thetown. " It is nigh on a month since] set eyes on big silver. But hearkento me, bright lad! Do not be askingabout Storn House. It is evil. Ah,me! It is evil from tho ground floorto tho little attics under the roof."
The strangely chilled and shakingstreet-cleaner let his eyes rest uneasilyon David's face.
" I mean, young sir, that in thishouse there live people from far lands—black men and yellow. And theyhold riot in the house when good folksare in bed. And they have their gamingtables and their fiery wine. And theirlord and master is—him. But—but—"the ancient man was half sobbing—-" please, young sir, I cannot remem-ber his name. It is Wood, or Ruddor something of that kind. I cannotremember. lie has a .big business inthe city, they tell me. I think he is amillionaire—a millionaire of drainpipes."
Had his informant looked less pitiableand less earnest, David would haveroared with laughter at this amazinganti-climax to a tale of mysteriouswickedness. But he would not havehurt the old man's feelings for a thou-sand pounds. With all seriousness heasked:
" And what is ho like. I mean, ishe English, tall or short, lean or fat."
And then, as the street-cleaneranswered, all the laughter died in hisheart." He is a half-cast. I will bo bound.
He is tall and thin, and his face isyellow. And now T remember his name.It is Aaron Cudd. He returned froma holiday abroad, young sir, just threedays ago.".
For a moment there was a riotousbuzzing in David's head, and he sawthe great houses whirl round him in akind of mist. The rieketty figure of theold street-cleaner receded, as if he werelooking at him through the wrong endof a telescope.
Aaron Cudd ! Aaron Cudd, the com-panion of M. Cailloux and of MacPhed-ran of the Harelip! That was the man,without a doubt, who lived in StornHouse. And, since this fact had beenestablished, it must follow that he wasabout to walk into a trap. The Orient-al's message that morning had beenlies. Tt had been designed to bringhim to this quiet, -sinister buildingwith the minimum of trouble.
The street-cleaner passed on, con-tinuing his task with mutterings and aconstant shaking of his head. David,however, stood quite still. His firstthought was to turn and make a boltfor freedom, to fly as far as possiblefrom this house of ill-repute. But, ashis mind grew clearer, and as the fogof his mounting terror was lifted, hebegan to take another view of the mat-ter.
It wng quite possible, ho argued, thatat this very moment ho was beingobserved from the dark, heavily-curtained windows of the house behindhim. And if he were to make a sud-den wild rush for freedom Cudd's ser-vants would be sent, out to follow, andat a suitable moment to overpower himand bring him back to Storn House.It would be equally safe—perhapssafer—to march into the building now,as if he feared nothing.
With a light and jaunty step, hoclimbed the short flight of stairs tothe wide portico of Storn Houso. Horang the boll.
The first impression which David re-ceived upon his entrance into StornHouse was of its deep silence. The floorof the hall was covered with a thick,bright red carpet, decorated with abizrtrre yellow design, having about itthe stamp of Chinese art. Garishly-coloured pictures, portraying sunny,geometrical valleys and hills, hung uponthe yellow walls; while over the slenderhat-stand were arranged two heavymaces, which appeared out of keepingwith the flimsy, gaudy splendour ofthe apartment. Though the sun shoneoutside, a coal fire burned at one end.And over the whole scene was silence,heavy arid profound, so that Davidheard clearly tho soft ticking of aclock on the mantelpiece.
A short, stout manservant, clad inthe conventional black of a butler,bowed tho young farmer into a roomto the left; and it struck David ratherforcibly, from the aimless movementsof the man's hands, that tliov wouldhave been more at ease hidden in vol-uminous silken sleeves. Tho manser-vant's eyes, too, were obliquG and nar-row. while his complexion was a palebrown.
"Will you bo pleased to sit?" hosaid sol'tly, indicating a queerly designedwooden chair in the drawing room. "Ishall inform my master that you"arohero "
"Thanks," returned the young farmerabruptly taking the proffered seat. "Tollyour master, too, that 1 haven't muchtime to waste."
When the peculiar butler had disap-peared David, eyes roving round theroom, took further stock of the interiorof Storn House.
Opposite the young farmer and hav-ing the appearance of being inlaid in
A STORY OF INTRIGUE, ADVENTURE AND SECRET SERVICE
tlio wiill was the plainly framed pictureof 11 Chinese head. And even in thedazzling surroundings David shiveredas lie looked at the cruel, simian por-trait. There was something about thecaste of features portrayed which re-minded him of the oriental with whomho had spoken in the morning; therewas something about the tense immobileexpression which reminded hi,in of hisglimpso of Aaron Guild in Marseilles*And the dark brown eyes, with theeerie luminosity so well caught by theartist, were strangely reminiscent ofthe eyes of Aaron Cudd. David, in thehot, enervating atmosphere shivered.
Suddenly he felt as if he cotiM notcease looking into those eyes. Theygripped his mind and made it impotent.They clutched at the very sap of hisbones. He experienced an extraordinarysensation as if he were being subjectedto an anaesthetic. In imagination hebegan to sink down into a long, mistyshaft, decorated in green and red andblack. Ho stirred and cursed. And thehearty, healthy oath brought back atemporary sanity. Still, however, heremained staring into the eyes of thepicture; but though, for a moment, hefelt physically incapable of turning hishead to the side, nevertheless his brainwas clear enough.
And then, with a start of horror, hesaw the luminous brown eyes move;and the eyelid of the left flickereddown. The young farmer knew now ex-actly what he had to face. Ho remem-bered quickly the manner in whichAaron Cudd had brought his influenceto bear on the grumbling MacPhedranupon tho wharf at Marseilles. He re-membered the harelipped man's suddenfearful gesture as ho shielded his brainfrom the power of the luminous eyes.Now behind the picture, in an adjoin-ing room, stood tho tall Eurasian. Davidrealised that an attempt was beingmade to hypnotise him.
In a few quick seconds a crowd ofthoughts whirled into his mind. Hypno-tism was something with which he hadnot before come into personal contact;but lie knew that it had a basis inscience and was not, therefore, to bepassed over lightly as a conjurer's trick.
And here, close to him, there was aman who had almost certainly Chineseblood in his veins—a man who hadalmost certainly learned a secret fromancestors whoso knowledge of the oc-cult had not yet been fully described.
Still physically gripped by the staringeyes of tho portrait, Davil refused,however, to allow his mind to bo in-fluenced. And it was now that hisphysical condition and his short rest inthe afternoon were to prove invaluable.While he battled with the will of AaronCudd ho wondered in a vague kind ofway if he were one of tho fortunatepeople who, by somo strange perversityin the growth of their brains, are lessprone than others to be influenced byan act of hypnotism.
Suddenly like the first quick trickleof a waterfall, an important questionentered his consciousness: why was anattempt being made to hypnotise him?And in the tumbling anxiety which fol-lowed the original self-questioning hefound an answer. Aaron Cudd was go-ing to ask him questions to discoverthe depth of his knowledge of the affairof the Flaming Cavern. Aaron Cudd,confident in his power, would believethat all his replies were the literaltruth. And with understanding of thesituation there came to David the great,the altogether magnificent idea. Hewanted 'to chuckle at that moment.
Keeping a tight grip of his mentalfaculties, ho abandoned all the in-stinctive effort which he had made tocombat the influence exerted by theEurasian upon his body. He slumpedlow in his chair, his chin dropped tohis breast and his arms hung limplyby his sides. But the eyes never wav-ered from the brown eyes before him.He had the curious feeling just then hedied and became some kind of disem-bodied spirit.
For long nothing happened. Davidwas unaware of tho noisy traffic pass-ing in the street. Ho was unaware ofthe glaring colours around him. He wasunaware of the heat and the cloyingscents which hung about the room. Allhis attention was concentrated on keep-ing at bay the power of Aaron Cudd,millionaire manufacturer of drain pipes.When the quiet gentle voice did begin,therefore, he was not taken by surprise.
"You are David MacNeill?""I am.""You are a Rhodesian farmer visiting
Britain ?"
"That is correct.""Why have you come home?""For a holiday.""You mot Miss Rona Ralston on
board the Dunavertv Castle?''"I did.""You met also her father, John
Ralston ?"
"Yes."David braced himself up for what was
coming."You attempted to rescue John Rals-
ton when, in the Red Sea, he leapedoverboard ?"
"Yes.""Describe exactly what occurred on
that occasion.""I gripped the poor fellow, but he
struggled from my hands and sank be-neath me." The sweat began to startout from David's forehead, so greatwas the strength required to formul-ate the lie. "After a while I was pickedup by an Arab dhow. .Tohn Ralston wasdrowned, causing his daughter Ronagreat anguish. 1 love Rona."
In the midst of this nightmare sceneDavid was conscious of the neatness ofhis last sentence. It gave a kind ofbelated veracity to his reply. Butsuddenly there began to hammer in hisstraining mind a little doubt; could heresist much longer the clinging, insinu-ating influence that flowed about him ?
"Did you see the person who com-manded the dhow?"
"I caught a glimpse of him. He wassmall and lean, with a snub nose."
Nothing, thought David dimly, couldbe more unlike Peter M'Gomba thanthis fictitious description.
"What is Miss Ralston's occupation?""I don't know. She told me nothing
of herself. Wo quarrelled after thedeath of her father."
"And yet you rescued her fromruffians in Marseilles?"
David was so tired that words beganto jumble together. Ho wanted tosleep.
"Yes. She told me they were theiveswho had learned of some gold coinsshe was carrying in her handbag."
The flat, monotonous voice dronedon.
"You say you quarrelled with MissRalston. But this morning you visitedher greatest friend, Sir William Dun-donald. Can you explain this fact?"
"I can explain. I hate Dundonald.She loves him, I think. I heard she wasgoing for a trip on his yacht. As hodoes not know mo, 1 applied for a jobon The Silver Gull, so as to learnexactly how much there is betweenthem. I was successful in getting em-ployment."
Something like a chuckle came frombehind tho Chinese portrait. AaronCudd, certain that his visitor was underhis influence, had no doubt but that hewas tolling the exact truth. Davidknew this fact, to some extent, was thecause of the chuckle; but he was un-aware of the true reason for theEurasian's amusement at his referenceto The Silver Gull.
