Captain theRev.Alexander Colvin,M.C.,of Willingale (Essex), is a brave, busy,and happy man as a rector of threechurches. He has to prepare sermons forthree congregations, five sermons to de-liver on Sundays, and two graveyards forwhich to care. He never makes notes orwrites his sermons beforegoing to church.He enters the pulpitwith anidea,delivershis sermon, and goes to the next church.He never duplicates a sermon, and hisparishioners appreciate this, because mostof them followtheir rector from church tochurch.

ENTERTAINMENTSREGENT THEATRE.

The mantle of many a famous actress who inpast years has played in the great drama ofmother-love is now worn at the Regent Theatreby Ruth Chatterton, the latest "Madame X"of the latest form of dramatic presentation.

MIGHTY METEORITE

The most remarkable encounter be-tween, the earth and a meteorite ofwhich there is - any record is probablythe one that resulted iv tho formationof meteor crater, near Canon Diablo,in North-Easteru Arizona, a desert re-gion. This crater is about 4000 feet indiameter, with walls rising about 150feet above the plain and descendingprecipitously COOfeet to the floor.Rocks at the bottom are crushed to adepth of several hundred feet andshow signs of great heating. Withina radius of five miles of the crateithousand's,of iron meteorites have beer,picked up.

Meteorites differ greatly from meteorisor shootingstars in many respects, pos-sibly even in their origin. Meteorswarms are known to be the debris ofdisintegrating comets, following thesame orbits. Meteorites, or fireballs,rarely appear iii'connection with swarmsof meteors* though they occasionally ap-pear in groups and many individualmeteoric stones or irons often have beenround in a single fall. Jh some in-slnnc'CH their appearance is aeconipaniodby loud detonations or a scries of sharpreports, likethat of artillery, or.againthe stone" may burst into fragmentswith a sharp explosiion.

DARWIN'S HOME

There is a charming story about them(relates a writer in the London "DailyMail"). They were always kept on a littletablo in a small hall between the greatnaturalist's,drawing-room and his study,so that Jirs. Darwin, who did not alto-gether approve o£ snuff, might keep aneye on the jars, and see that her husbanddid not indulge in his habit too freely.it often happened, however,that whenlie was, in the drawing-room with his fam-ily Darwin would-be seized with a desire

tor a pinch/ and.at such times he:wouldinvariablyresort to a little ruse in orderto escape from Ihe -oom."Jly dear," he would say to Mrs. Dnr-wni, my dear, Ithink the study lire needsmaking up. I will go and attend to it."

A moment after he had closed the doorbehind him. there would be heard theclink of the lid.of a snuff jar being ner-vously replaced.

MAGISTRATE'S COURT

From time immemorial a wolf has beenkept on the Capitol in memory of thefamous legendary animat which suckledKomnlus and Remus,the founders oftho City o£Rome. A few weeks ago theshe wolf gave birth to sevencubs—an eventwhich greatly delighted the Romans. Thenewspapers, in giving 'the announcement,stated that the number of seven was ofhappy augury, since the City-of Rome isbuilt on seven hills. The cubs were takento the Zoo, where they are looked afterwith the greatest care, for later one of thecubs_ will take the place of honour on theCapitol as the descendant of the legendarywolf.

Hunting Crylast season showed considerable promise.as a two-year-old, in good fields,at Tren-tham,.but it was not-until late in' theseason at Hastings that he won his firstrace. Like his half-brother,White Fang,he is not a prepossessing lookingcustomerbeing lightly built, almost mean, but hecan gallop to some tune. He defeatedAd-miral Drake at Hastings a good deal moredecisively than Eaglet accounted for theAdmiral at Wanganui, and taking a lineon that form, he measures up well. His.- advance has been somewhat meteoric, forat Wanganui he scored in a trial handi-cap field. Those at Ellerslie on Saturday"will have the opportunity of comparingthree sons of Hunting Song in the .Guineas,Pink Coat,Hunting Cry, and False Scent,and on looks' Hunting Cry will come outa bad third. Whether he will be equalto beatingPink Coathas yet to be proved,but he is a galloper of quality much above"his general appparancc. As H.

His successfuleffort was a re-markable improvement on the form heshowed the previous day, says a Southernwriter, but it was fully expected, judg-ing from the fact that he paid a compara-tively short' price, whereas on the -firstday, when he finishedabout last, he wasa neglected outsider.

OBITUARY

MR. R. H. REAY.The death of Mr. R. H. Rcay, which

took place suddenly at Oamaruon Sun-day, has removed a well-known figure io-the.racing and trotting game. The de-ceased was the only son of the late R.Reay, who was a well-known owner andtrainer at Riccarton in the early daysof racing in the province. Young Rcnj'took to the racing game, and early be-came a jockey, riding for a number ofyears throughout the Dominion. Evenwhen! associated with the gallopers heturned his way towards trotting, and wasone of its early trainers and riders. Withthe wonderfulpony Parnell,and later withthat fine trotterRita, he was very success-ful. He subsequently devoted his wholeattention to;trotters and pacers, at onetime having!a big string in work as apublic trainer. Ho was a highly-capablehorseman,and had few superiors on apacer, and for a number of years his ser-vices were in great demand. When mostof the saddle racing was removed fromtrottingjclub programmes,Reay took toharness work, and in the sulky he wasequally successful.Owing to ill-health herelinquished training work, and lived inretirement at New Brighton for someiyears. He was usually to be found at alltrotfc.ng meetings in the trainers' stand,and took a keen interest in trotting upto the time o£his death. About a weekago he left for Oamaru, to spend a shortholiday with J. Henderson,the well-knownOamarutrainer. On Sunday lie was takenseriously ill, and succumbed to an opera-tion.

YACHTING

R.P.N.Y.C. ANNUAL MEETING

.-C£e,a«nual meeting of the Royal PortNicholson Yacht Club, held in theclubropm last evening, was well attended.Mr. W. Duncan presided. ■ ■'■In moving the adoption of the report

and balance-sheet (extracts from whichwere 'published in last night's "Post")iMr. Duncan expressed regret that yacht-ing in Wellington was not what it'shouldbe so far as the bigger yachts were con-cerned. ,Boats were for sale here andthere, and he wondered where the clubwas going to finish up. However,he wasnot discouraged, for he had seen a similarstate of things before,and the sport hadregained its popularity once more. Thoseresponsible for the management of theclub would have a difficult task duringthe coming season, but if they worked aswell as the retiring officers,members couldhave every confidencein them. MriJunean described the showing of theClyde, Wellington's representative at thebanders Cup contest, as the one brightspot in last season's local yachting. Nextyear, he thought, Wellington would govery close to winning the cup. The workot the committee,the secretary (Mr. V.G.M. Boulton), and the treasurer (Mr. A*.B. W. Darroch) was eulogised by, Mr.Duncan,who concluded by congratulating

£,clulj on tn<2'splendid financialposition.The motion wajb. seconded by Mr. B.Clarke,who said that the report reflectedvery creditably on the secretary and thecommittee. He agreed with Mr. Duncanthat yachting in Wellington had lostsome of its pppularity -with the ownersof the larger boats,but pointed'out thatwhen the younggeneration, became inttr-ested in the small boats recruits wouldultimately be found for the bigger yachts.One of the club's" functions, therefore,should be to encouragesmall boat sailingas much ;as possible. 'It was decided that (subscriptions belevied on the same basis/as last season.The following officers were elected:—President,Sir-John Luke; vice-presidents,-RightHon.

DESIROUS OF PEACE

FRANCE IS PACIFIST

PRE-WAR NAVAL POLICY

.-. M. GEOKGES LEYGUES 8(French.Minister for the Navy.)

'■ .'■ . (Copyright.). Of all>he naval Budgets of the dif-ferent countries,that of France is theonly one which does not envisagegreater expenditure than, in pre-warflays. "'■;■-''■"I consider, that no useful purpose

wouM ho served by indicating the ex-act proportion in .which other Powershave increased their naval Budgets;but while there are certain nations thatnow spend as.much as 160 per cent,more on their navies than in 1914,-France has reduced the cost of her navyky 26 .per cent., in comparison, with 15years ago.But in spite of this fact, weare overhauling our maritime service 'in a way that has aroused the admira- 'tion of -Frenchmen and foreignersalike. Every Minister who has hadcharge of French naval policy since1920 has been faced with the problemof making up for the losses that hadbeen suffered during the war years.Eaffc of theni has tackled this problemwitti the same energy, the results of"which were seen by all who witnessedthe naval review at Le Harve last year.In T.914 our navy had a tonnage of550.000 tons. After the war, it had!declined to less than 400,000tons, at;;thoughthe duties that it had to perform :

" :wcre still the same. It ivas absolutelyessential that our naval forces shouldbe put on a footing equal to that of.prewar days, not only as a guaranteeof the.country's security, but in order,to maintain the prestige of the French jnation. ' i. . PEACE-TIME ROLE OP KAVT. j■ Xaval forces serve other purposesthan to make war on hostile countries.Theirsrole in time of peace is /eiy im-portant. To police the 'seas,to main-tain" the freedom of ocean More-over, contact. "must be maintained be-tween France and her colonies,and our'battleships and cruisers must hindertsiko"voyages in all parts of the globe, in:order to display the French flag, which. 'for a long time has-been seenbut rarely', outside European waters. We have todispelthe illusion, spread by our rivals,'that France, which displayed such hero-;

; ism, during the Great Wur, is.now ex-:hausted,and is incapable of any> virile:,effort in the future. ■ :; The navy is the most' evident symbol.- -of a country's prosperity and power.Seeing the fresh forcesthat France nowias at Her disposal, foreign Powers (tosay nothing of the French colonies)are bound to realise that our countryhas recovered from the effects of theworld struggle, and is full of the oldconfident spirit. We now have efficient,fleets of vessels manned by'thepick oft-ke country's.youth. Our men o'war aregreetedwith enthusiasm by the natives

'andFrenchmen in our colonies, and in-■^ deed,wherever they go, the'-officersand

men are treated well bypeople of everynationality. .

" It is all very well to talk of reduc-ing the sizes of crews; but if we areto maintain a modern navy, i.e., a navycomposed of light units, submarines,torpedo-boats, cruisers, and battleships,,which shall be capable of defending a; Jarge .country and a vast colonial em-pire, ire must have efficient crews andofficers; 'Themore lightboats you have,the m'orte officers aud ■men will be re-quiredV For example, 23,000tons -oflifeht^Jinits heed more officers and menthan heavy ships aggregating the same

'.'"tonnage.^Yipt ours.TS the only navy, bc-...sijJes.^tlie British", that has carried-thereduction proposals into effect. ' Ourship-buildingprogrammes,aiid the gen-eral principles underlying our naval.policy, sire strictly in accord with thedemands :of national.security, and have■ remained unaltered under the variousGovernmentsthat have been in powersince 1920. ■ ;

o. DESUWUS.OF PEACE.!No nation is more desirous of peace

" than is France. No'other nation hasgiven greater proof of its deßirofor in-.ternatipnaljustiee and goodwill. Franceis a pacifist nation; but we want peaceTrith security, dignity, and honour.

' It is in order to bring "about such apeaee'that the'French Governmentpur-sues its present policy at Geneva.Our■representatives; in the League-of Na-tions are striving, with that energyfor which Frenchmen have always beenrenowned, to help bring about a ■com-plete reconciliation, among the nationsof the earth. But France does not goWo far as to lay:itself open to the danger,of'*udden aggression from, a hostile,power, or any other dangerous adven-tures.' ' .' " ; '

_ . ;Our vole aim is to help consolidate

the peace of the world, without sacri-ficing the interests of theFrench nation.

FAMOUS GERMANPOEM

"THE HYMN OF HATE"

Herr. Ernst Lissauer, author,of thatflaming lyric of fury,"The Hymn ofHatej'^-which was*Germany's nationalanthem during the war, and which wastranslated into almost everyknown lan-guage, is, according to the ."SundayChronicle,"to visit England. The visitwill.be the beginning of a world'tour,:in the course of which he hopes toprovethat1fie" has never really possessed any.vindictive spirit towards anybody! i. :;At tubby,. benign-faced, placid littleman of V45,'Lissauer now claims that he,is'.a,poet, a dreamer,and a philosopher.All ,his life, he says, he has been astaunch pacifist, and the "Hymn of"Hate," composed on a'sudden impulse,.^*asnever intended for war propaganda'purposes against Britain. ;

tLissauer^tells as follows the story ofHassgesang, as the scathing verses ofviolent passion were called:—''l wasseats? my journalistfriends inaeaieia. Hamburg an the course of thefirst few weeks of the war, when thenews reached us that England washolding up Germany's hospital supplies'from. America.

'"That news inspired me with pro-found rage at seeing"the innocent suf-fer for the guilty,and, in the heat of amoment's passion, I wrote the poem,neither wishing,nor dreaming that itwould ever be published.' My friendsraved about, it. They, said it .was a4"poem for the million." Unknown tomyself, it was syndicated to almostevery paper in Germany, and then therewas no stoppingit. But I can honest-ly saythat I have never made a singlecent out of it."

The poem certainly stirred the Ger-manpeople. "When it reached Englandit was described at "a symbol of thespirit which moulded. together the en-tire German,people, numbering 70,000,----000 souls,and made them afighting unitof almost inerediable force and co-hesiveness." . '■ ' .

Every German soldier at the' frontwas circularised with, a copy of thepoem. German bankers-enclosed copiesin letters' to their clients. It hung onthe walkof almost every Germanhome.It was chanted in the streets and sungin the music-halls. Lissauar was deco-xatedby the Kaiser.. To-day, ashamed. of that poem, theauthor of it wishes the world to knowthai he is a man of peace who haswritten peaceful works of which he isreallyproud. "Imay have hatedEng-land.'butI h#re -never bated' the Eagr■Ksij^ ]*c sayjs. . . . : ;'

CHARACTER IN EYES■ ' 1. . -MTEEESTING STUDY

GOOD GUIDES,TO HEALTH

The study of their patients' eyes asan indication of the mentalityof thosewith whom they have to deal is recom-mended to medical men by the authorof a recent article in "The " MedicalPress" (Paris). The extraordinarypower of the eye, says the writer, de-pends not only on the eyeball itself,but results also from all the neighbour-ing features—eyebrows, " pupils, lashes,,forehead, nose. . The eye gets,its esrpression from all the other .'features 'together. If the face is hidden behinda sfceetof paper with, holes in it, or <behind a mask that allows only theeyes "to be seen, it is practically impossibleto divine the expression,'real :6r'simu-lated, of the1subject;it is also true thatif the eyes alone be hidden on aphotograph the expression cannot be're- v

cognised. A profound study of theeye-from the physiognomic standpointwould require a volume,~*f6r there area thousand things to" be considered inthe eyes,and the easiest expressions tounderstand are the hardest to describe.In studying the physiognomic value ofthe eyes,we must take account suc-cessively of their,situation and arrange-ment, the form, size, and prominenceof the eyeballs, the skin, form andmotions of the eyelids, the tint andcondition of the white, the.colour andsize of the iris, the degree*of opening 'of thepupil; no detail is to be- neglect-ed; each has its own meaning, andnevertheless plays. a part in- the gen-eral effect. '. ■ .

PHYSIOGNOMIC VALUE.Obsessedpersons or monomaniacs

have a vague eye, never Ijok straight"at theperson to whom 'thCy are'speak-ing,because they are looking" inward,or are seeking to see something onwhich their mind has become crystal-lised. The very mobile glance, direct-ed rapidly to all sides, invan" agitatedface, shows inquietude.or', embarrass-ment. On the contrary, if the mouth!is delicate, and smiling, it is the glanceof an intelligent and spirited man,whose mind is open to new impressions.The distance between,the. eyes,meas-ured from their corners, should equalthe length of a single eye. If theeyesare nearer, especially when deepin their sockets, the physiognomy islively, and easily assumes a'-'wieked ex- - ■"preseion. Eyes far .apart,"on the qth'erhand, lose in vivacity; but" gain' in calmand gentleness. Among the'inpst'eruelpeoples, such as the Mongols .or certainArab tribes, the eyes]are,;.clpse?: to-'gether. The Latins have;eyesthat arewidest apart—anindication, sayBillardand Dodel, of a great store of. good-will and of ideality -in their charac-ters. - . " ■ . ' .;In the normal arrangement of theeyes,the straight line joiningone angleto the other is horizontal, but'thereare frequent variations. Eyes'deep intheir sockets show profundity orenergy; theyindicate firmnessof will.Eyes moderately protruding are'lively,clear, brilliant; when they protrude toomuch they give the whole face an airof stupefaction or confusion; this" is asymptom of certain diseases such: asexopthalmic goiip-e.

VALUABLE ELEMENT._ Large eyesare a sign of beauty andintelligence; when the size is excessiveit gives to the facean'air of unintelli-gent languor. Large, open eyesshow;foolishness. Small eyesare not beau-tiful; when very small and deeply sock-eted, like those of monkeys,-'they givean air of -wickedness. The size~^>f theeye depends chiefly on the eyelid.-; Asits edge is straight or curved/theeyesare called . ."almond-shaped" or"round." ■','■"'

The colour of the iris contribute*much to the aspect of the.eye:.the vari-ous shades are usuallyclassifiedas-blue,grey, green, hazel, and. black. Some-times the two eyesdiffer; person's have "*been known to Have'one black and one -blue eye.' A clear iris is supposed to ' 'indicate case and vivacity; a: dark one,,whether blue, grey, green or black,shows intensity of, feeling, energy ofwill, and profundity of conception; Eyesof mixed tints indicate excess of feel-ing, elevation of ideas,but also art irre-gular and ill-proportioned will Thawhite of the eye is of great diagnosticimportance;; when very clear and whiteit is a sign of good health, of easycir-culation, of regular life. A whitemarked with yellowishthreads,marbledwith red or blue veins, indicates a hotand .unhealthy temper, prone to conges-tion—a violent character. - ' , .

The greater or less openingSof thepupil is a valuable element "in medicaldiagnosis. It also furnishes good in-dications to the physiognomist. Thisopeningis controlled by the grait sym-pathetic nervons system, whose tonicitv,keeps the muscular ring of the!screenstretched. . ", '.'

Narrow pupilsindicate generallyfirm-ness, energy, and ambition. Dilatedpu-pils show physical relaxation, softness.We knew that a momentary dilation ..ofthe pupils is a sign of livelyemotion,of terror. The influence of certainpoisons onthe pupilexplains how it i»possible, by simple examination, ■t» ■judge of one's drinking'habits. - 'FLYING AT 75

STATEfiaiAW*. lONIC.

Sir Heoase Plunkett, the Irish states-man and agricultural expert, is leara-iiMt tfc fly at the age of 75, says thi>"Daily Mail." '; .

He is a pupil of the Brooklands ,School of Flying at Brooklsnds "Air-.drome, Weybridge, Surrey, near hithome. His friends say that he is askeen as a boy on.his new sport;

♦Mr. Bernard Shaw, "who is a greatfriend, wrote several amusing letter*after hearing of Sir Horace's ~ enter-prise. In one he suggests that, flyingat his age is an "adventurous, agree*-/able, and not too obvious method <*£suicide." . " - .

Sir Horace saia to a reporter: *'I.find my flying lessons very enjoyable-Already I have put in. four hours' and;35 minutes:

"Mr. Shaw suggests that it is *method of suicide. , I. do not tnowwhat my. instructor says about auiaide^but Iknow that he has a distiiict ob-jection, to homicide.

THE EVENING POST, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, ;19297

EveningPost.TUESDAY, OCTOBEE1, 1929.

PEACE AND LIBERTY"The greatest problem facing the

age to-day," said the Bishop of Win-,Chester last week, "is the reconcilia-tion of efficient government with theliberty of the individual, and theBritish Empire is, I hope, on her wayto lead the world in this respect"He based his prediction on Britain'sstand for liberty throughout theages, and the ingrown respect forthe law. There is some reason forthe pride which expresses itself insuch a prediction. The British Em-pire ha*s not often;attempted spectac-ular far-reachingreforms, butBritishrulers have displayed sound judg-ment in timing the advance so thatit should never be too far ahead ofan enlightened popular will. Thuslaw andpublic opinionhave marchedforward in step. Efficient govern-ment has, indeed, been reconciledwith the liberty of the individual tosuch a degree that the surrender.ofindividual liberty necessary for theadvancement of the nation has usu-ally been willing and voluntary. Thisrecord is no mean achievement, aswe may judge when an enlightenedPresident of the United States deemsit thefirsi duty of his administrationto make a searching investigation intothelack of harmonybetween law,andpublic opinion. PresidentHoover'sLaw Enforcement Commission wouldsurely not have been necessary ifpublic support for law enforcementhad been the same in the UnitedStates as it is in British countries.The British Empire has not yet,however, reached the peak-of effi-ciency in government which is at-tainable if individuals are preparedto surrender more of their rights forthe common good. It is in the eco-nomic sphere that a further volun-tary surrender of individual privi-leges is now being sought. For gen-erations thedoctrine ofindividualismin industry has been accepted almostas an article of faith. The move-ment is now gaining groundidoes'not restrict that individualismby compulsion, but seeks to buildupon it 2 greater edifice of co-opera-tion. _ The Melchett-Tonier confer-ences in England, and our ownIndustrial Conference,have notsought to impose new ordinancesupon employers and workers, buthave aimed at persuading the partiesin industry to accept new responsi-bilities. Industry has been presentedas a partnership of capital and lab-our for mutual benefit,and if it,isto be a partnership in truth it mustinvolve surrender of some part ofthe rights ■of all the contractingparties. The employer is asked toadmit that' he has a responsibilitytowards his workmen,and the work-ers are asked to recognise that thesuccess of the industry is theirconcern as well as that of the em-ployer. Such joint admissions ne-cessarily entail new conceptions ofeconomic obligations, including theobligation to greater frankness andmore open discussion :of industrialproblems. The, sageicious leader-ship of the Melchett-Turner confer-enceshas strengthened this new spiritin industry. An atmosphere fav-ourable for the growth of economicco-operation has been created.1 The Bishop of Winchester wouldappear, however,to have been think-ing of international as well as na-tional problems. '.

Thehighcst object to bo sought (hosaid) is the ono law by which justice,fellowship, and peace shall bo recog-nised by all nations. Of course, Vllnations seek to retain their rights anasovereignty, but they cannot retaincomplete, sovereignty when they ac-knowledge one law in the internationallaw of peace. We should be preparedto surrender whatever needs to bo sur-rendered of our fullest liberty to-gainthis end.We have partial expressions of thisinternational law of peace in theLeague of Nations Covenant,the In-ternational Court of Justice, andKellogg Pact for the*'renunciation ofwar. By these covenants and pacts,and more especially by the KelloggPact, the nations of the world haveiaccepted a new code.- They have ac-knowledged a new principle applic-able to nations as it has been applic-able to individuals—that law andjustice in international affairs shallbe superior to force. This principlehas long been recognised within thenations. The liberty oftheindividualhas been made subject to laws forthe benefit of the community and en-forceable by the community. TheKellogg Pact now seeks to apply thisto.the community ,of nations. Theyagree that they will not "take the lawinto their own hands," and that warshall be outlawedas duelling has longbeen. But national law was of slowgrowth. The surrender of individualliberty was not achievedby one dra-matic stroke, and the limitation ofnational sovereignty to assure inter-national peace is yet in the earlystages of development A "RoundTable" writer stated the position suc-cinctly in reviewing the Peace Pactwhich, he said, was only a beginning.

There is clearly a verytlong road tobe travelled before tho reign of law,the goal which it sets before us, canbe reached in practice. Its supremevalue is that for the first time in his-tory it unites all the most civilisednations in an effort to establish peaceinthe international sphere on the sameprinciple as has at all times preservedit within civilised States.

The nations have yet to createeffective means for the settlement 'ofinternational issues without recourseto war. Much hasbeen accomplished

in this directionunder the Covenantof the League and in the Interna-tional Court of Justice, but it is notall effective. Gradually it is' be-coming more effective, as by ,the re-cent adherence of powerful nationsto the Optional Clause. Neverthelessit cannot be said that the nations areyet fully resolved to use even themeans of settlementwhich they havejointly established. Even when theyare resolved on this «use there is afurther step to be taken in the crea-jtion of some force which can beused for police purposes. There hasbeen a pronounced hesitation to ac-cept the enforcement of sanctionsagainst an aggressor at the directionof some internationalauthority. Warhas been renounced as an instrumentof national policy, and in principleit has been accepted as an instru-ment for use iii the maintenance ofinternational order. But the prac-tical acceptance is not yet an accom-plished fact. It demands new andgreat encroachments on nationalsovereignty, and these cannot bemade until the nations can be as-sured that the international policewill be as sure a safeguard as thenational force.

TOPICS OF THE DAYGerman national feeling, according

to a cablegram to-day, has been in-flamed by a proposal to hand thecountry over to a Swedish matchmonopoly. The pjtoposal was that M.Van Kreuger, head, of the SwedishMatch Company, should lend theGerman Government the equivalentof £30,000,000at a low rate of in-terest in return fora monopoly of theGerman match trade and exclusionof all other foreign competition. TheSwedish Match Company is a com-mercial undertaking of immense fin-ancial resources, and itsramificationsare all over, the world, includingGreat Britain and the Dominions.It is linked up with the SvenskaHandelsbanken, an institution ofgreat financial strength, its activitiesand influence being by no means con-fined to Sweden. But the main ob-ject of the Swedish Match Companyis to sell matches in all countries,and to be the exclusive seller of thatcommodity.. Whether it has taken ad-vantage or not of its practically im-pregnable position in the match tradeis beside diepoint that has caused anoutcry throughout Germany againstthe terms of the proposed £30,000,----000Kreuger loan. What does matterin countries blessed with democraticGovernment is hopelessness of theirsuccessful combat, if such should be-come inevitable, with themighty andinternational commercial forces op-erating to-day. On the one hand,'wehave a body composed of represen-tatives of the popular interest selec-ted, elected, and returned to Parlia-ment by a majority of votes won bytheir, personalities or gifts of fluentspeech; on the other, highly paidand trained specialists in manufactur-ing and distribution, backed by mil-lions of capital and ample funds tolose, if, necessary, in the attainmentof one objective. The forces arenot anything like evenly matched;it is a case of Jack Cade's Armyagainst disciplined Royal troops. Nodoubt some democratic Governmentsin their permanent heads have brain-power equal to any that is command-ed by the great modern commercialorganisations; but the pity of itîsthat, for political reasons, Govern-ments will ignore their own skilledadvisers and expert consultants,almost invariably with lamentableresults. The sooner they realise themagnitude of the of specialcommercial interests arrayed againstthem to-day the better will they beable to cope , with them when theoccasion arises. These forces areincreasing in power day by day, andthere' is hardly one country in thewhole world where they arenot work-ing in their own interests.

Judging by recent letters in ourcorrespondence columns on'why girlsprefer work to marriage, the argu-ment seems to boil down to some-thing like this:

She: Why cannot you make it worthmy while to marry you?He: How can I make it worth yourwhile to marry me when you won't letme?

The shes ofofficeand factorysay thatthe younger hes will not curb theirown pleasures to make preparationfor matrimony—no, not even to theextent of qualifying for one of SirJoseph Ward's numerous worker'shomes with 95 per cent. 36 yearsloan. The hes reply that home,love, and marriage do not attractmost of the girls, who, so long asthey "can collect £3W £4 regularlyeveryweek to spend, most or less, ontheir own pleasure, are not going todrop out, of the race for pleasure totake on cooking for a man." Now,there are many cases of young menwho squander their money on them-selves, and who do not contribute asthey shouldto matrimonial prepared-ness. There arealso many cases ofyoung girls who do the same withthe money they earn, and who, bytheir ignorance of and disinclinationto household -economy, disqualifythemselves for the position of wifeto any save a rich man. But asthere is no known system of statis-tical measurement equal to deter-mining ,whether the unmatrimonialbillet-filling miss or her extravagantmale competitor constitutes thegreater and more abundant evil, the"argument doesnot seem to be likelyto reach finality. Admittedly thewoman who would sooner enjoy thehusband's job than the husband doesexist. And the woman who is cleverenough to enjoyboth is not unknown.But it is uncertain what proportiontheybear to thetotal. ;

It seems to be impossible to sep-arate this subject from the funda-mental change which1 has occurredthroughout the-,social structure inthe last thirty years. Thirty yearsago therewere much narrower limitsto what the individual could do andi . ■..'. ■

enjoy. He (she) could not motora hundred miles in a day, and theeffective radius in the'■buggy wasmore like five miles than fifty. He(she) could not go to the pictures-there were none. She could notsmoke; she could not drink. He(she) did not require the radio anymore than the pictures—and for thesame reason. Thereis no statisticalguide as to whether the.ratio of herclothing,bill to her general expenseswas less then than now, but thechances are thatit was much less, andthat the abbreviated character ofmodern dress is by no means reflect-ed in its cost The net result seemsIto be that the young of both sexes,to-day have far more wants, and theenjoyment thereof becomes so in-grained that neither is very willingto relinquish personal spendingpower for a partnership relying ononeincome only. Itseems to be axio-matic that the increase in employ-ment,ofiemales must displace somemales; it is almost equally certainthat the spending power ofi thesegirls, if not'important to the home, isimportant to trade. If to-morrowthey were all suddenly removed fromthe pay sheet, the consequential effecton certain branches of trade wouldbe sharp and sudden. The ideal ofEyeless offices and factories is likethe ideal of perfect thrift—its firsteffect would be one long train ofbankruptcies. '

Figures of relief work quoted inthe House of Representativesby theMinister of Public Works show howimportant the Department of For-estry has been in dealing with unem-ployment. Seasonally, afforesta-tion and its planting operations arewell adaptedto fill the economic gapin a country whose farmers.all aimat the capitalisation of summer, andwho during winter carry little labour.During the year that ended on 31stMarch last the Department of For-estry established 57,406 acresof newplantations, which is 22,300 acresmore than in 1927-28, and nearlytreble,the figure for 1926-27. The1connection between that record andthe (Unemployment situation is thusexplainedin the departmentalreport:

This abnormal increase' was due tothe necessity for providing employmentfor those out of work during the wintermonths,by way of an increased andaccelerated planting programmeinvolv-ing, the engagement of approximately1300 labourers at the peak period.The figures the Minister has justgiven to the House of Representa-tivesindicate that this year (Septem-ber, 1929) the peak of 1300 labour-ers has been again reached. Ofimportancealso from the unemploy-ment relief point of view is the opos-sum trapping, which (in so far asthe law is obeyed) is carried out inwinter, and absorbs many hundredsof men. About half the annualcatch of opossums is taken in theWellington district. The State For-est Service has introduced into thisdistrict the principle of letting trap-ping rights for five seasons instead ofone, so as to give the trapper a semi-permanent interest in his block. Thusit is hoped that the trapper will be-come keen to prevent poaching, andto liberate immature opossums, be-cause he will have a vested interestin the next season, and in seasons tofollow.

NEWS OF THE DAY

Dental Clinic System..As 39 more dental nurses will com-

plete thoir training at Wellingtonearlynoxt year and will be ready to takeup duty in various centres as from IstApril, 1930, the Minister of Health(the Hon.' A. J. Stallworthy) is con-sidoring an extension of tho servicesof the school dental clinics. At presentthere are 98 dental nurses, but in someplaces it may bo necessaryto appointan extra nurso because the number ofchildren receiving attention is nowgreater than one nurse can attend toconveniently. Owing to the demand forthe services of nurses, tho Minister'says that soon the cost of the dentalclinic system may increase from. £45,----000 a year to £100,000. "We want tohelp those centres willing to help them-selves," said the Minister, in indicat-ing that districts wishing to take ad-vantage of the increased facilities tobo made available next year shouldmake prompt application, as the alloca-tion of now nurses would bo decided onin the very near future.Are OceanXaces Worth While?

The mishaps which marred the BoyalPort Nicholson Tacht. Club's ocean raceto Port Underwood last February werereferred to by Mr. W. Duncan,who pro-sided at the annual meeting of the clublast evening. "In my opinion,it is nota question of Bpeed, but one of luck,"he said. "The club had hard luck fastseason/, and only the timely aid givento the Windward by the Shamrockpro-bably prevented some serious conse-quence. It only needs something likethat to happen, and the public will boup against any ocean races. It all de-pends on the boat owners. If they arequite satisfied, wo will have to put onthe ocean races." Last season only thosmaller boats competed, showing thatthe race was not popularwith the own-ers of the bigger craft.' Mr. B. Clarkealso spoke, recalling the inception ofthe annual race in 1919. They certainlyhad had some lively times in CookStrait, but the Taces called for seaman-ship, resource, and hard work, and theywere worth while for that reason.Petone Speed Limits.

The Petone Borough Solicitor report-ed to the council last evening that thocouncil had lost the test case in. whichit had endeavoured to uphold a bylawmaking the speed limit for motorists inthe first portionof the Hutt road withinPetone 15 miles per hour. The solicitorsuggested that if the council desired toappeal it-would be necessary to takeimmediate action. The Mayor, Mr. D.M'Kenzie, expressed the opinion thatno appeal should be lodged. The respon-sibility for an accident that might hap-pen was now removed from the BoroughCouncil.' CouncillorOsbornsaid he hadno doubt that the speed limit of 15 milesper hour was utterly absurd, especiallyus speeds of'2s miles per hour wereallowed in busy streets in Wellington.Councillors Hogg, Longman, and Jacob-son also said that the decision of theMagistrate in upsetting the bylawwasright. Councillor Hogg then1, moved:"(a) That speed limits within the bor-ough be considered by a committee ofthe council; (b) that the committee con-sist of Councillors Toomath, Brockel-bank, Jacobson, and the mover." Hosaid that the publicwere' now educatedto higher speeds, and conditions hadentirely altered sinco the bylaw wasframed, the control of cars by motor-ists being greatly improved. The mo-tion -was seconded by Councillor Long-man, and carried unanimously-

Municipal Insurance Scheme.By eight votes to six, the Christ-

chnrch City Council decided last nightnot to join in the Municipal Associa-tion Js_ insurance scheme,states a PressAssociation telegram.Cheaper Beading.

Subscribers to the lending depart-ments of the City Public Librarieshave, from to-day, the opportunity oftaking advantage of reduced subscrip-tion rates. In the past, a borrowerwas entitled to take out one book at atime for each 5s subscription, coveringa period of six months. The new ruleprovides that, for a six-monthly sub-scription of 7s 6d, two books may betaken at one time, "three books for 10s,four books for 12s 6d, and five booksfor 15s'. Subscribers will, of course,still be entitled to take out extra bookson the payment of 3d each. The sub-scription for one book,will remain at5s per half-year. Where there are anumber of members ia a family, it isanticipated that the revised scale willbe welcome. All the latest books, in-cluding " novels, travel,1 biography,drama, and various books relating totrades, commerce, science,-etc., arebeing added to the libraries. All thelibraries are part of one system, andsubscribers' cards are available atthe lending department of either Cen-tral, Newtown, Brooklyn, or Karorilibraries. ■The Shining Cuckoo.

A paragraph in yesterday's "Post"recorded that a shining cuckoo wasseen in theBotanical Gardens,Welling-ton, on Sunday. The "New ZealandHerald" of,yesterday's date states:"The call of the shining cuckoo, orpipiwharauroa, is accepted as one ofthe features'of spring, and New Zea-landers acquainted with its notes arealways pleased to know that it ■ hasarrived after its long journey fromSiberia. A resident of Mount Eden re-ports having heard one yesterday morn-ing among the trees somewhere aboutwhere the main drive to the summitleaves Mount Edep Toad at-the tram-way shelter. The Gisborne correspon-dent of the 'Herald' states that.a birdwas heard at Waipiro on Tuesday lastcallingwith a vigourthat indicated fullrecovery from the effects of. its Ions:flight." h

Land Settlement.Pointing out in his presidential ad-

dress to' the Auckland Employers' As-sociation that increased land settlementwas a most vital problem; Mr. A. Spen-cer remarked that if - a practicablescheme of smaller holdings and moreintensive cultivation could be evolvedand carried out it^woold'iproyide an out-let for surplus labour and also surpluscapital. There were, however, manydifficulties to be overcome. Though theproblem was in some respects similar tothat which faced the Ballance-SeddonGovernmentover thirty years ago, theconditions have changed. The land hasnowto be subdivided into much smallerareas, and experience haß shown thatit is in many cases disastrous to putpeople on the land who have had neitherexperience, education,nor training ne-cessary to make settlers. "A landflowing with milk and honey is no goodto those who won't milk cows or keepbees. The problem is now a twofoldone-rland for the people, and peoplefor the land," concluded Mr. Spencer.Lyall Bay Improvements/ 7

The question of improvements" ■atLyallBay was discussed by the EasternSubm-b.s League last night, and it wasdecided to refer the matter to the CivicLeague in the hope of getting satisfac-tory results from the City Council.TheLyall BayProgressive Association wroteasking the league to take some stensin the matter, and particularly to askthe council to concentrate the existing-buildings in the middle of the bay,making adequate provision' for men,women, and children. The letter addedthat the association had been "peg-ging away" at the 'City Council foryearswithout success. The chairman ofthe league (Mr. A. C. Blake) expressedthe opinion that the conveniences "onthe beach were inadequate, and he wassupported by other speakers.

A Tug-of-War."While the Conciliation Councilsandthe Arbitration Court act as a check onunreasonable demands from both sides,it is at present unfortunately only tootrue, as was admitted at the recent In-dustrial Conference, that organised in-dustry is now run on the lines of a tug-

of-war,"-said Mr. A. Spencer in hispresidential address to the AucklandEmployers' Association recently. "Thotwo sides rarely meet except to makedamands of one another, or to compro-mise conflicting claims, and negotia-tions are inevitably carried on as be-tween two hostile bodies. This willprobably prove to be inevitable untillabour realises that the employer isreally only a fellow-worker but moreclosely in touch with economic condi-tions than it is possible for the opera-tive worker to be. The employer mayhave to decide what is practicable andwhat is_ impracticable, but the govern-ing coriditions are economic, and it isthese which the worker together withtho employer is up against. The tend-ency latterly has been,by way of con-ferences, to introduce the operativeworker directly to the economic difli-dulties which hitherto have been leftto the employer. A case in point isthe huge cotton trade deadlock in Bri-tain, which threatened such terribleindustrial dislocation and disaster/andwhich now promises settlement by asmall representative conference insteadof the appalling loss and misery of aprotracted strike and lock-out." v

Heavy Loss of Lambs. ■.';"'The bitterly cold weather of Thurs-day and Friday was,responsible for theloss of agood many lambs in the Horo-rata district (states the "ChristchurchTimes"). It is reported that on. onefarm. 150 lambsx were lost during the

storm, and on another 100. Very win-try weather has been experienced theresince Thursday. Bain set in about 4o'clock,on Thursday afternoon. On Fri-day morning 117 points of rain was re-corded,and the ground was white withsnow, which continued to fall at inter-vals, accompanied by a bitterly coldsouth-west wind. The-storm has takena heavy toll amongyoung lambs in theMount Somers district, individuallosses of from twenty to thirty beingreported on Friday morning. Snow to adopth of an inch fell on Friday night,and on. Saturday morning ten degreesof frost were registered. The weatherthen appeared to settle./Friday was thecoldest, and most, stormy day, experi-enced at Oxford this season. The tem-perature w,as low, and throughout theday there were showers of rain or snowor hail. The effect of the storm onlambs has been disastrous. Few lambsborn on Thursday or throughout thenight survived, and the mortality insome cases was great. On some'farmsthe number of .deaths varied" from-twenty to thirty. The loss is veryserious to: the owners, especially asthis is an accentuated repetition ofwhat occurred in the previous week."Fancy Keligions.""It is usually found that peoplewho

become obsessed with what the soldiersused to'call 'fancy.' religions do so be-cause they, have no real knowledge ofgenuine Christianity with which to testthese ephemeral movements," said theRev. D. Oj.. Herron,; ia an address inSt. David'&Presbyterian Church,Auck-land "(reports the "New Zealand Her-ald").1 When 'people were swayinghither and thither seeking a nqw pre-sentation of the Gospel . ithere wasusually found a colossal ignorance of,Christian principles and probably aweak ethical life.

It is a fallacy that immigrants ofthe right kind coming here take thebread out of the mouths of New Zea-landers,pointed out Mr. A. Spencer inhis presidential address to the Auck-land Employers' Association. As a mat-ter of fact, he said, they do just theopposite by becoming producers as wellas consumers; in fact they create andmake work for other workers. Theyrequire houses for their families to livein, also food; clothing, and transporta-tion, and pay their-share of taxes; infact prove valuable members of theiradopted country; but we must insist onhaving the right class of immigrant,carefully selected under safeguardingregulations by people who understandthe economic conditions of New Zea-land, otherwise we are onlylooking fortrouble.Changes Almost Daily! ' 'The statement that further publicitymotion pictures would be taken ofAuckland and its surrounding districtwas made by the Hon.P. A. de la Per-relle, Minister of Internal Affairs, whoarrived in Auckland from Taumarunuion Sunday (states the "New ZealandHerald"). Mr. de la Perrelle was re-cently placed in charge of the Govern-ment PublicityDepartment, and he is afirm believer in the value of the cinemaas an advertising medium.. "Motionpictures of Auckland have been takenfrequently in the past, but the growthof the city has been so rapid that itchanges almost^from day to day," theMinister said. "It is essential that pub-licity Bhbuia keep abreaat with thetimes, and through our publicity.films;which are exhibited all over the world,we intend to keep in touch with allthe most recent developments in theDominion." .Not Yet Ousted. -It was thought that the vigorouscampaign against them last year hadcleared the goats from the Kaitake Be-ser*e, says "The Taranaki DailyNews," but Mr. J.

CHANGING METHODSMASS PEODUCTIONEFFECT ON INDUSTRY

The widespread industrial troublesaffecting the world to-day are to *large extent the outcome of the intro-duction of mechanical and scientificmethods of production, said Mr. A,Spencer, presidentof the Auckland Em-ployers' Association, in his address tothe annual meeting of that body.Priorto the application of power machineryand labour-saving devices to industry'he went on to say, the mass of peoplelived in small, self-supporting villages,in which, those co-operating in produc-tion were few in number,and allknownto each other. The distribution of theproduct was a simple matter, and aforal/of barter was the osual custom.With modern industrialism, productionhas become national, and to a large ex-tent international^-and the distributionof the product,and division of the pro-ceeds is now a difficult and complexproposition. , ' .

The first effects of the change in -England, the pioneer of the modernsystem, caused some radical changes iathe Old Country, especially affecting 'agricultural, production very consider- ;ably. It also had a disastrous effect oathe workers. -Experience of the attend-ant evils showed the necessity forbodies of workers to combine in union- iism to enable them to co-operate andbargain with the employers for theirmutual protection. Other nations, oneby one, have since undergonethe sameexperience, until to-day it looks asthough the, system of mass productionwith its benefits and evils, will becomegeneral throughout the world.

The enormous population of Indiaand China are now affected. The disrupttion of old methods has graduallycomeabout, and the switching over from theskilled handicraftsman to the compara-tively unskilled factory worker andmachine minder, is causing industrialunrest in all parts of the world.

Gentlemen^ the simple fact . is thatphysical science hao been progressingby such leaps ana bounds that indus-trial reorganisation has been unable tokeep pace. One has only to look attherapid.changes taking place in trans-port alone; motor-cars and flyinemachines are both rapidly, affecting the ,railway's returns from passengers andgoods. The steamship companiesare also \affected, even in this little country with " .only a,handful of people. Bapid chance* 'are taking,pfece every day, and those 'companies,affected must meet changingconditions. The great advance -made inEngland during the past centuryto cope >with yjhe altered industrial situation is 'required in -India, also all Europeancountries and British de-pendencies to-day, particularly perhaps in Australia'ana New Zealand. --.

The position is! difficult, but no doubt .'■"will be overcome when employers andworkers realise that the position in theworld to-day is the outcome of advancedmodern ideas and the necessityto lecoe-mse.that as we are all in the grip ofevolutionary forces, we cannot remainthe slaves of class..bias. It may still benecessary for oach' side to maintain itsown standpoint and organisations, butthis shonia.be done without bitterness,realising the obviousconstraining powerof circumstances.

UNDER THE ICEVOYAGE OF DISCOVERY.SUBMARINE ADVENTURE

A DABINa PLAN(By Captain Sir Hubert WUkins.)

" ; (Copyright.). Tfte greatest adventure in theworld, no milder sentence than thiscan adequately describe the daringplan of penetrating beneath Arcticwaters in a submarine,as set forth■in this article by Captain Sir Hu-. Bert Wilkins, the famous Polarexplorer, who conceived the idea.Perilous and fantastic as . thescheme/sounds, the odds against thedaring adventurers are not so for-midable as the layman supposes.Airships and aeroplanes have con-

quered the Arctic air^ but steamsiiipsnave not conquered the Arctic ice. With-in ahundred yearstwo hundred ormoreships have been lost in battle withthe grinding pack ice. They haveteen, caught in the arms of the mercilessfloes, and, splintered and crushed,havedropped into the maw of the Arcticbasin.. Many brave crews have followedtheir mangled ships to the bottomof the Arctic Ocean. A few, more for-tunate, »more experienced, or cautious,have escaped to tell tales of misfor-tune, hardship,and privation.

No surface ship can push its waythrough the tough ice pack or with-..stand the pressure of the weighty wind-driven floes. Not even the sturdy ice-■ breaker, Krassin, with its marvellousmechanical aids, which crashed its waythrough the edge of the pack to rescueMobile and the Italia's crew, could ex-pect to conquer the nxid-Aretie ice ormake a trans-Arctic journey., SHORTER SEA ROUTE.'

Statesmen and business men have foryears sought a shorter sea. route frcimSeattle to New York via the Behrinefrom Seattle'to New iYork and other

" places. By using the Arctic route thedistance between these places would beshortened. It is very much shorter fromSeattleto New York via the Bellingstraits than it is via the Panama Canal.■But the search for a*navigabie north-west or north-east passagehas so farbeen on vain. It has cost hundreds ofiives and millions in money. Men inships have circumnavigated th;; ArcticOcean,yet,a practical route for surfacevessels has not been found. The poten-tial valueof anorth-west passageis stillas great as it ever was, but those ofus who know the Arctic do not:believethat a surfaceroute is practical.. With mechanicallyperfect machines,: Byrd and Amundsen and Eielson andI have proved that flying machines canmake use,of the shorter Arctic routeand by flying over a great circle course: shorten,bynearly 50 per cent., the time"and distance of travel between northerntowns. Passengers will soon fly overthe Arctic as safely as they now flyover the Channel and snow-clad moun-tain ranges, but sea-going1 vessels willoe needed to carry the heavyand bulky"loads of grain from the fertile areas in-Northern Eussia, Alaska, and Canadawhich will be produced as soon as somesafe, economic method of transporting.is introduced. Modern mechanics havehelped us in flying over the Arctic ice.Years of experience have proved that■■we cannot expect to conquer the ico: itself, bo we look to modern mechanicsto aid us in avoiding the ice and con-quering the Arctic son.

SUBMARINE IS THEISOLUTION.The economic possibilities of the sub-■ marine are as yet little understood. Ascargo-carriers they could opon up routesof importance to every country in theNorthern Hemisphere. The distancebetween Liverpool and Yokohama viathe Arctic is 6750 miles as compared to12,250miles viathe Panama and 11,100miles via the Suez Canal. For ves-sels of equal size and speed, the savingof time on the Arctic route would bomore than sixty days on a round trip,and the earning power of the northernvessol would be a hundred per centmore than the other.

_The size of a submarine is not morelimited than the size of a surface ves-

sel, and, as a matter of fact, their eco-nomic efliciency increases with size..within certain limits. Plans for a13,000-tonsubmarine have been drawnup-an<l approved. Itwould be possibleto build them even larger. Suchsub-marines would naturallynot go directlyacross the Arctic Ocean, but, skirting

" along the comparatively ice-free coastalwater, would submerge to pass thesolid strips of ice which would stop theprogress of a surface vessel.It woulfl, nevertheless,on. a voyagtfof discovery,,be possible to go "be-neath" the North Pole and across theArctic Ocean. It may seem to the un-initiated that there are certain insur-

mountable difficulties in the way ofnrider-ice navigation,but a closo studyof the conditions proves it to be easilypossible to avoid the dangers and over-come all the. difficulties. In the firstplace, the Arctic temperatures in sum-mer are well above freezing-point. Thesubmarine would operate in water ofmore or less constant temperature. In-sulation of the walls of the submarine

i decreases condensation,and by keepingthe interior as cool as possible, no in-conveienee , would be experiencedthrough dampness in thte vessel.

Modern submarines can submerge toia clepth of 300ft. Nansen, in his de-

scription of his Arctic drift, states thathe did not see ice more than fourteenfeet under water. Peary and Stefans-son claim that they have never seen iceaground in water more than 120ft deep.There are no large icebergs in the Arc-tic Ocean. The icebergs found in theNorth' Atlantic come from the southernpart of Greenland.

THE GREATESTDANCER.,The Arctic, even in the depthsof win-ter, ia not covered with an unbroken; blanket of ice. Amundsen, in the early

spring 0f.1925, landed his flying boatsin water, within ninety miles of the: 3?ole. It has been observed by those■who,have in late winter and springilown thousands of miles over the Arcticpack that there arc open leads or newly-frozen water in patches within twenty-five miles of-any givenl point in- theArctic Ocean. It is our 'belief that inlate summer we could, on a trip fromSpitsbergen to Bering Sea, or viee-ve^rsa,travel fully 25 per cent, of theway in open water.

It would appear to be possible to.«ometo the surface in ice-free waterat least every thirty miles, but, strangeas it may seem, that fact would pos-sibly present our greafcsst danger. TheArctic ice is frequently, if not always,in mption. An open lead is ever chang-ing its shape and size. It may disap-pear at any moment. An under-ice ves-sel would have to be prepared to makethe whole of the journey under ice ifnecessary. Yet no one would dream ofmaking a non-stop submerged tripacross the- two thousand miles of the

" Arctic Ocean.. ."Naturally, in preparing for a sub-marine trip such as I propose for thesummer of 1930,we would provide forevery emergency. The Lake type ofsubmarine we propose to use i 3 fittedwith one of the most importantsafetydevices That is two Idjoining a£"tight chambers/thebottom of, one, beingpart of thebottom of the vessel,beinlif hl?Sed door. .This affords a meansofleaving the submerged vessel in adiver's suit and effecting repairs ordoing work outside the vessel. 'The manipulation is simple. JBie

chambers are filled with air to a pres-sure equalising the pressure of thewater on the outside. The pressure atdepths to a hundred feet is not oppres-sive to humans. The men can thenopen the floor of the submarine andstep into the water, and, carrying anair line and a guide rope, move freelyabout at their work. It may be thata propellerblade will need replacement,or a minute investigation of the undersurface of the ice be made; even asample of the sea bottom in shallowwater could be "collected.

BURSTING THE ICE.This device will also serve in severalmethods of gaining access to the open

air, if it is found necessary to breakthrough the ice. The diver can attachexpl sives to the bottom of the ice,fjhenre-enter the submarine,move awayto a safe distance, and follow a guideHue back to th. place after the explo-sive has done its work.

A diver with freedom of movementon top or near a submarine couldmanipulate a chemical agent such asthermite or calcium carbide,and melt ahole through the thin sea ice. "Whilethe ice may in parts be fifteen or morefeet in thickness, in late summer webelieve it possible,to find ice less thanthree feet thick. Much less force willbe required to burst the ice from tirebottom than from the top, and in sum-mer, when the water temperatureis wellabove freezing, little extra tempera-ture will be needed to melt a hole suf-ficiently large to accommodate a smallconning tower.

A feature we propose to use for pro-tection and for determining thicknessof the ice and the open leads is: a feel-ing arm connected through a universaljoint to the topof the submarine. Thisarm will extend thirty or forty feetabove the top of the vessel, "and bymeaus of a'vgoyerning spring keep thesubmarine—which will at all times havepositive buoyancy, or a tendency torise—at an even distance beneath thesurface of the ice. It is not expectedthat the under .surface of the ice willbe smooth;-but the irregularities, ex-ceptin rare instances, will not be greatand in no case so great as to allow the'body of the submarine to strike .a pro-jecting tongue or foot of ice.

"BUMPING BAR" PROTECTS \VESSEL.

As a double precaution against this,possibility, the upper side of the vessel'will be protected by a resilient junvp-ing-bar or skate. This skate or sledrunner .will, if the feeling arm fails,protect the hull from contact with the.ice above.It is intended to provido a mechani-

cal means of accessto free air from un-dereventwentyfeet or more of ice. Twoseven-inch drills, one forward and oneaft are operated through a stuffing boxas is the propeller shaft. The drillsthemselves will be cored; that is to saythe. centre section will be, removable,and when the hole is drilled the corescan be moved, leaving two six-inchpipes projecting through the ice. Thesewill serve as an intake and an exhaustfor the engines. Lying peacefullybe-neath the'ice, like a fly on a ceiling, itwill be possible to recharge the bat-teries and proceed.

This, in fact; would be asafer methodthan coming up into an open lead. Itmay be thought that a'submarine is"blind" when submorged, but experi-ence has shown'that in clear water—inthe Arctic the water is exceptionallyclear—it is possible in daylightto seethrough the water for a distanceof,fiftyyards or more. During the summer inthe Arctic it is daylight the whole sea-son long; the sun at that time in thoselatitudes is never below tho horizon.Even so,'as a precaution, a highly pene-trating concentrated light will bethrown forward ■ and upward from thovessol and so enable the operator to ob-.servo tho nature of things in the nearvicinity.

SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS.Apart from tho economic value ofdemonstrating the possible nse of com-mercial submarines in Arctic wators,the trip under tho North Pole and acrossthe Arctic Oceanwill afford tho maxi-mum opportunity for carrying outscientific investigations of great import-ance. Instruments for finding thodepths by sound and manual soundingmachines will be carried. These willafford protection from running agroundin shallow water. The submarine alsohas whoels on its bottom. A pendulum

apparatus can bo operated as tho vesselis in motion,and the specific gravity oftho earth's crust at its upper end berecorded.

A gyro compass will give us somovaluable information as to tho magneticsdiiierenceH as wo cross tho top of thoworld, far noth of the magnetic Poloitself. Tho earth inductor compass andthe ordinary' ship's compass will servefor navigation if We canobserve tho direction, force, tempera-ture, and content of tho currents in theArctic Ocean,and collect such biologi-call life as may be found. Who knowswhat weird creatures may exist be-neath the blanket of Arctic ico? Itwill be possible to observe and photo-graph the life through tho clear glasswindows of the submarine.During periods of rest and while re-charging batteries we can fix our posi-tion by astronomical methods and be intouch daily, by wireless with all partßof the world. From a captive balloonwe can photograph conditions below.There are few troublesome fogs in latesummer such as there are in the Arcticspring. It in even possible thati wemight broadcast speech from beneaththe Arctic Sea to Commander Byrd ontop of the Antarctic Continent. Wecan observe V tho midsummer ico andweather conditions and furnish infor-mation of extreme value to weatherforecasters. But best of all we can de-monstrate that the mechanical ingenu-ily °£j?an hasovercome another ofthe difficulties imposed by Nature uponhim. 1 ■

FOE OF DIGESTIONATTACK ON THE FRYING PAN(From "Tha Post's" Representative.)

LONDON, Ist August_ Colonel P. ,S. Lelean, Professor ofPublic Health in Edinburgh' Univer-sity:— ■So baa is the cooking of unsuitablefood—largely by that fell foe of diges-tion and of romance, the frying panthat digestion 'troubles rank socond inthe list of ailments causing lost work,and they are responsible for nearly one-fifth-of the total loss. The frying panbakes and dries up food. It makes ithard and thoroughly indigestible, and is

one of the causes of decay of teeth.While it is true that the frying pan hascooked the Englishman's breakfast formany years, it is also true that formany years the, Englishman has beensuffering from bad digestion. '"Sooner or later dietetics will haveto be taught. Unsuitable, ill-cookedfood damages the 'workers,.'and hencethe nation; injures the mothers, andhence the race; and mars the develop-ment of the children who, if they andtheir mothers were properly fed, couldrestore the dignity of health to mankindwithin the life span of their generation."Every girl must know somethingabout digestion, cooking und dietetics;and every boy should know what to eatand why. It is somebody's duty in thenational interests to see that instruc-tion is included in their education..""We need a positive passion for fit-ness. One generation healthily bredand brought up would probably resultin such a saving on hospitals, doctors,and medicines as to pay tiie cost ofsweeping our unhealthy slums away."

WIG AND GOWNOKIGIN OF BARRISTERS

THE KING'S COUNSEL

There are one or two wigs and gownsworn at the Victorian Bar which hintat the antiquityof the profession .of bar-rister, writes A. A.: Masted,' in the "SunNews Pictorial." More than 600 yearsago barristers were first created by Par-liamentary ordnance. Thatwas appropri-ately in the time "of .Edward 1., a great'law-giver. - \It is said that the first barristers worewigs to conceal the fact that they belong-

ed to religious orders. Now they wearwigs because,if they did not, the Judgeswould be unable to see them. In thebackof the,gown or the early barrister therewas a pocket, into which the client slip-ped a-groat (4d) when he wished to en-gage the lawyer's services. Itwas a pleas-ant fiction that the barrister did not seethis, monetary contamination of his senseoi justice. "■■.;-■

Nowadays a solicitor's clerk calls at thebarristers chambers and places on thetable a brief marked so many guineas Thebarrister, unafraidof his sense offustieebecoming tainted,glances at the fee mark-ed on thebriet, and,'if it is not sufficient,he hanas it back to the -clerk with a re'quest to see if the solicitor cannot increasetue amount.

SPRING IS COMINGSUN SHINES FAR SOUTH

BYRD PARTY ON BAY ICE

FRESH SEAL A BOON, United Service.(By Russell Owen.—Special to "Ntw

York Times.")BAY OF'WHALES, 29th Sept.

The blizzard of the last few days hasbeen followed by an unexpected coldspell, the thermometer hovering be-tween fifty and sixty below zero. Thesky has been clear for two days, andthe sun has been shining brilliantly.The warmth can be felt when facing it,but it had little effect in this cold driftof air from the south, which yesterdayextended as high as the meteorologistscould' trace it with their balloon. Therewere many signs, however, that springis not far off, because in the brief in-terval between v the blizzard and thecold wave it was so warm that theseals came out on ihe bay ice in greatnumbers.

Men who went far-out on the bay icetowards the sea until they got withina mile of the curtain of sea smoke be-yond which they could seenothing, sawhundreds of seals basking in the sun.They were mostly found, in new ice,which extends to a point about fourteenmiles north of the base, to a pointwhere the bay ends- at the East Capeof the Barrier. This ice is broken andheaped up by pressure, but holes are:left,' and these are the places where theseals come up to breathe and crawl outwhen the weather is not too cold. Alot of them are crab-eaters,which arethe best to cat. Oneof them was killedand brought back to- camp. It tastedgood, very v much like ordinary rumpsteak when! cooked well with dehydra-ted onions. It i3valuable,as is all freshmeat, for its vitamin contents, and themen who will go out on trail will beable to get well stocked up with it be-fore they leave. s

IMPERIAL COUNCILCLAIMS OF THE COLONIES

SIR E. DAVSON'S VIEWS '

(From "The Post's" Rtprassntatlvt.)LONDON, Ist August.:Sir E. Davson, who is actively asso-ciated with various organisations of

Imperial moment,, including the BritishImperial Council of Commerce and theAssociated Wost Indian Chambers ofCommerce, considers that tho approachof another luiporial Conference is asuitable time to raise the questionwhether its existing composition is ade-quate for tho growing needs of the Em-pire, Ho suggests that tho time haseomo when tho Colonies should havesome ropresontation at tho ImperialConference.' <.In a letter to "Tho Times" Sir Ed-ward writes:—The terms ''Empire" and ' <Common-

wealth of Nations" ard sometimes as-sumod to bo synonymous, but this ianot at present the case; it is fre-quently not realised that, apart fromthe Dominions which form the Com-monwealth and apart from India, thereis a Colonial Empire of 55,000,000people with a total trade of £500,000000which cannot be included under the sec-ond designation. The component partsof this ColonialEmpire are steadily de-velopinga public---in some casos almostanational—consciousness,and are mani-festing an ever-growing desire to playa part themselves in the furtherance ofthoir social and economic development.

Of,the subjects commonly discussed»t Imperial Conferences some, such asthe promotion of trade, ocean, and in-land transport, telegraphic communica-tions, aviation, and scientific research,aro of vital interest to tho people ofour colonial possessions. Nor can onesay that their views upon such .mat-ters can possibly be adequately express-ed by any one Minister, however able,to whom maybe entrusted among otherfunctions the duty of watching"theirinterests. ...It would obviously be absurd to pro-pose anything approaching the statusof the Dominions or to expect equalrights in discussion. Nevertheless, itshould be possible to devise somethingin the_nature of a colonial panel whichmight be in attendance when mattersof interest to the colonies were beingdiacusaed, and means mightbe found toallow either a direct or an indirect ex-pression of its views.A difficulty which will at once sug-

gest itself is that there are so manycolonies that to afford representationto all would be impracticable. This isagreed, bnt there are at least threemain groups,each of which might nom-nate a representative to the panel. Irefer to the East African, West African,and West Indian groups,while there isalso tho possibility of some similar ar-rangements for Malaya and Ceylon.It is possible that the<eeonomie pol-icy of this country towards its depen-dent possessions will tend to differ incertain respects fiW that adopted to-wards the independent and self-govern-ing Dominions. Should this be so, itis obviously desirable that the goodwilland co-operation of tho Dominionsshould be Bought. They should be ledto feel that these tropical lands arepotential sources of wealth and offeropportunities for trade, not only forthe United Kingdom but also for them-.selves, rather than that their welfareis something in which they have no in-terest or concern.

This sentiment may already be saidto be taking practical form: it is seenin the beginning of trade agreementsbetween Dominions and Colonies, andin the deliberations of the Empire Mar-keting Board when Dominion represen-tatives take an equal interest in colonialand other Empire questions. This de-velopmentof interest on the part of theDominions would, I believe, be furtherincreased by6the adoption of measuresby which they and the colonies couldbe brought into closer contact at whatin such an event would truly; be an.i-Impeaal Conference.

ROADS AND PATHS

RESIDENTS COMPLAINTHE COUNCIL'S REPLY

MONEY IS TIGHT

Three deputations, representing theEoseneath Municipal Electors' Associa-tion,- the residents of Jackson street,Inland Bay, and from the Island BuyHome of Compassion, waited upon theWorks Committee of the City Councilyesterday afternoon to protest againstthe state of their roads and paths.

Mr. C. M. Turnhull, the chief speakerfor the Eoseneatb residents, said thattwo years agothe council promised thatBoseneath crescent would be widenedand a proper highway provided as faras the fire station. Some work hadbeen done,but there was no continuityabout it. Last year some work wasdone in the Crescentas the; result ofthe slip at the head of Grassstreet,whicbhad meant the re-establishmentof part of the road",but the bottle-neckbetween Carlton Goreroad and the up-per part of Grafton road remained.This was an important highway be-tween Wellington and the "EasternSuburbs, which carried an enormousamount of traffic, and yet in parts" theroad was no .more than 12 to 13 feetwide. Although it was a one-waytraf-fic road,. there'had been quite a num-ber of minor accidents. As many peopledid not'know the rule it was not reallyin force, and many drivers came downthe Crescentat as much as forty milesan hour. .'.'■.-,. .I Councillor W. H. Bennett, the acting-chairman, of the committee, said thatthere were, only a' few .hundreds ofI/pounds left out of the amount allocated!to the ,workj all he could say was thatthe work would bo continued while themoney;lasted. " ''Cduneillor. Mitchell asked what thework would cost to complete.

Mr. J. N. Thompson, Assistant City'Engineer:/"About £2000." ". -' 'Councillor Mitchell: 'And we'veonly £400!"

.Councillor-Hildreth, referring to thestatement that cars came down theCrescentat forty miles anhour, saidhe. thought it was the duty of everycitizen to take-the numbers of suchcars cud report their drivers. He hadhimself this month reported four casesof .motor-cycles fitted with' ineffectivesilencers.'... Mr. H. O. Batten complained of tho"atrocious state" of the footpath ap-proach to Nos. 11 to 39, Grafton road(which front a low-level footpath onthe western side of that road). He ex-hibited photographs, showing the pathunder water and mud, and lined withduckbbards to allow the residents to getout dry shod. Mr. Batten also drewattention, to tho state of the twenty-year-old wooden breastwork which sup-ported Grafton road above the sunkentrench footpath.

The chairman promised that the offi-cers would: look into the matter, andthe City Engineer would report to thecommittee. ■ i . ' "Mr. 01. G. Cox mentioned that afterdoing 200 or 300 yards the work of, re-conditioning and widening Maida Valeroad had" come to a stop. That wasbad enough, but the council workmenhad littered up the front of some ofthe places-with stones, scrub, cementbags, and other.refuse from their work.Councillor Bennett said that the stop-pago of the work at Maida Vale roadwas duo to the allocation having beenxpeniled. Some; of tho other Urinesmentioned wero matters of mainten-ance. Those would be investigated bytr officers and attended to. With re-spect to the works requiring Jarge sum'sof money, he could protniso nothingl.he unemploymentrelief allocation hadbeen expended. Tho matters of clear-ing up and storm water troubles wouldreceive attention.

JACKSON STREET PROTEST.The residents of Jackson street, saidthe Rev. A.' Cheesemau, wero determin-ed to have the. roadway and paths put

in order. There wero 50 houses in thostreet, which served about 000 peopleyet there was no footpath and the roadwidth in one part was only 12 feet. Pro-vision had been mado for work "t6 bedone out of an unemployment loan, butnothinghad been done. Ho had noticedthat an amount was to bo spent ' ona play, area out of these funds, andthought that roads and paths should boput in order before further recreationgrounds wore provided.'

There was too much consideration andnot enough work, said Mr. A. AVright.The residents wore getting very tiredof the existing state of things. "Wehave been before tho committee severaltimes, and informed that tho matterwould be given consideration, but thatdoes not givo us a footpath. Only thoother (day, a two-ton lorry was seenhanging over another'man's property.If accidents do occur wo will give ovi-dence,and it will be that the councilhas been neglecting its duties. Ib is upto the council to give us some atten-tion. I have heard lots of soap-box'orators and have heard them talk ofsuffering humanity," continued Mr.Wright. "If yon see awoman pushinga perambulator up Jacks,onstreet youwill see suffering humanitywith a ven-geance!"

One lady said she had been givena permit to erect a motor garage (on astreet encroachment),but it was aftor-wards withdrawn. At tho same timoanother resident' was given a similarpermit, and the garagewas now almostbuilt. Only the back wall was on hisproperty—therest was on the footpathand road,reserve.

Councillor Bennett said that the offi-cers had hoard tho complaints, and alltho, matters referred to would bo in-quired into. ;

A TROUBLESOMEBANK.The!representations made on behalf

of the Horns,of Compassion authoritiesconcerned a bank on the nowroad builtto give access from Rhine street.

Mr. A. B. Croker (of the Island BayRatepayers' Association) said that the.road was constructed by tho CityCouncil. It was to have been on agrade of one in twelvo right up to thomain entrance of tho home,but it wasfoundthat part of it had a grade of onein seven. It Tvas "to have cost about£400, but the expense ran into over£600, the greater part of which hadbeen found by the sisters; They nnwwished to provide an addition to thehome,and a lightwall was required toprevent any further slipping away ofthe bank. The sisters had been toldthat drainage was the cure, but he diduot thinkv that drainage wouldaltogether prevent any further erosionof the bank; ■ " " "Raster Angela drew attention to thobad bend at the beginning of the ex-tension which provided the approachto the home,and said that medical menand other visitors complained of it. aswell as of the absence of alight "at'thebend. The road generally reflected nocredit upon the City Council or■ them-selves. .-

Mr. Croker said that great work wasbeing done at the home by the sisters,which saved the council considerablemoney—the eases they took in wouldotherwise become a charge on the Hns-pitaland Charitable'AidBoard—yet theonly assured income the sisters had wasthe sum. of £100 a year—the rest wasall voluntary donations and subscrip-tions.

WIDOW'S CLAIM

INCREASE OF ANNUITYOPPOSED BY RELATIVES

(By Telegraph.)(Special to "The EvSnir.g Post.")

AUCKLAND, This Day.A claim for anincrease in her annuity

of £1000under the will of her husband,Alexander Bell, was made by JessieAlberta Bell, of Eemuera (Mr.M'Veagh), against the executors of thewill, namely, the Guardian Trust andExecutors' Company (Mr. Boyes), be-fore Mr. Justice Smith in the SupremeCourt.

_The plaintiff admitted that in addi-tion to the annuity she had been left anUplandroad property,of four and three-

quarter acres, and furniture, the totalvalue being £0100.Mr. Leary appeared for six charit-able institutions, which benefited to tlieextent of £2400,Mr. Johnstone for 13

grandchildren of the testator, who areto benefit, and Mr. Eiehmond for Mrs.Janet Taylor and Mrs. Jane Laird,daughters of the testator.

Mr. M'Veagh said Mrs. Bell did notdesire that any order made by the Courtshould affect either the annuities underthe will or the charitable institutionswhich benefited. The ease was a pecu-liar one. The grossvalue of the estatewas £344,500,and it was being admin-istered by the Guardian Trust Com-pany. The death duties had totalled£80,000and the testamentary expenses£10,000. The deceased was very wellknown, having amassed 'his fortunechiefly as an owner, of farm propertyin various parts of the Uorth Island:He died in July, 1928. The plaintiffwas his second wife, and she marriedtestator in 1916.

In his -will testator left the plaintiff£750a year,but by codicil this was in-creased to £1000,with the proviso thatit should be reduced to £500 in theevent of his wife's re-marriage. Thetrustees were directed to sot apart£60,000for the payment of annuities,and as each annuitant's interest ex-pired, the. portion of the fund .produc-ing the annuity was to fall' into theresidue of the estate, which totalled£150,444. The whole of this residue,together^ with the accumulated income,was to "go to ther granehildren livingten years after testator's death. Thir-teen grandchildren were now alive.

Mr. M'Veagh said the plaintiff was40 years old, having married a. manwith a large fortune 13, years ago."Husbands know very little about themanagement of households," counseladded. "They have no knowledge oftho linens or foodstuffs required." Itihad to be remembered that a very largesum -would accumulate for distributionamong the grandchildren. The will hadalready been the subject of litigationmore than once, a son—William Bell—recently having his annuity increasedfrom £104 to £500by Mr. Justice Blair,at Auckland.

In reply to Mr, Eiehmond, Mrs. Bellstated her capital assets were valuedat about £7900. That sum included gasshares £1075,bank shares £132, houseand land £5500, furniture £600, shoppremises £1100,and a motor-ear valuedat about £640.

PLAINTIFF'S AGE.Questioned by Mr. Johnstone,witnesssaid her ago was 40 years. Her- hus-band died at the ageof 84.Mr. Johnstone: "Ate you quite sure

about your age?"Witness: "Yes." *"You swear on your oatli you arconly 40?"—"Yes.""How old did yon say. you werewhen you wore married?'.'—"Twcuty-

eig'ht."Witness was shown a document which

she admitted was a copy of her mar-riage certificate. On this her agewasshown as 32.

Mr. Johnstone: "Mow do you ac-count for that?"—"lt is shown as X2but it was really 28."

Mr. Johnstone: "I asked you topledge your oath, and you wero fouryears out in a simple matter like tluit."Further questioned, witness deniedthat her schedule of household expenses■ras a gross over-statement."I see by tho affidavits that the iirstchauffeurin 1925 wore no livery," Mr.Johnstone said. "Tho second one worehalf a suit of livery, and the present

ono wears a full livery, so it seems tosuggest you arc becoming progressivelymore prosperous."Mr. Richmond contended that Mrs801 l was adequately provided for. itthe Court made any extension of thewill or a grant to the plaintiff it wouldercato a breach of the understood prin-ciples of the Testators Family Mainten-ance Act. It would be a dangerous stepbeyond tho authorities laid down inAustralia and New Zealand. TheCourt could not re-wake a will, butmerely correct a moral delinquency orthe blindness of a testator."Is it moral blindness for a testatorto leave his wife £1000 a year and allhis property?" Mr. Richmond asked.It would bo a somewhat dangerousdoctrine, and one of which wo wouldhave to be careful in advising ourclients if it is laid down that the moreone leaves one's- wife in the way ofhouso property tho more one must leaveher in the way of annuity. It wouldnot be safe to leave your wife thehouse you live in. There are not manypeople who have about £1200 a yearSlii aA"0 house-" Mr. Richmondadded that even if tho plaintiff did not

£1200 a year. There wero not manypeoplo who would not be prepared tocarry on quitereasonably on that.lThorewere plenty of six or eight-roomedhouses to be had in Auckland to-day forabout £1700,and there woro few peoplewho would not live on £1200a yearMr. Johnstone said the testator haddischarged all moral obligation to his".m leaving her his property andiIUOO.uyear. A bravo show h.-id beenmade to prove that it cost Mr. Bell£1900a year to. live. An accountanthad, however, made an affidavit to theeffect that for two yenr; prior to testa-tor s death the house and all other ex-penses cost £1000i; year.

A PLEASANT DAYFOURSOMES AT BELMONTAMATEUR AND PROFESSIONAL

SOME GOOD SCORING(By Telegraph.)

From "Chipshot."WANGANUI, This Day

Perfect weather and the relaxationof foursomes after the strain on theOpen made yesterday enjoyable to allat Belmont, when the amateur four-somes and the professional foursome-were decided. The wind was light ii-the morning,but westerly, again chang-ing the distances for golfers. In theafternoon it freshened,and on the hightees facing it drives were sharply pull-ed up. It helpedplayers at some of thelong holes,however,and for the bettergolfers it meant merely a change ofclub for their seconds. Much dependson, the success of the draw in four-somes. The pick of the basket are notchosen to play together, sofas to avoida walk-over, and again much hangs onan amity of relationships and a success-ful dovetailingof play. There is oftena considerable amount of humour in thelies left by one's partner, but seeingit is essential to the pleasure of iom-somes. The draw yesterday worked outvery well, and the scores were surpris-inglygood, probablybecause playersaregetting to know the links better. Bio-figures were scarce, though Moss andPass had a 9 at Bunker's Hill.

Mr. " Bates stated:"Broadly, the position as we view it isthis: That you have two industries—poultry and wheat—of an approxim-ately equal value (£2,500.000) to theDominion, but the one, wheat, is givensuch a generousmeasure of Govern-ment protection as to render the other,poultry, wholly unstable by reason ofits being compelled to purchase itsmain supply of food from the highlyprotected wheat industry. This, not-withstanding that the wheat industrylias now apparently reached its fullestexpansion, whereas the possibilities ofexpansion in the poultry industry arevery considerable,if the present incu-bus can be removed and a certain meas-ure of Government support accorded.We would stress the fact that the'poul-try industry is one deserving of thevery fullest Governmentsupport, bothon account of the very large number ofpeople already engaged in it, and alsothe possibilities of its expansion, .especi-ally amongst small holders.

"In other parts of the world whereit has been properly fostered, the poul-try industry has assumed huge propor-tions; in the United Statesto-day it isthe ,second largest agricultural indus-try, and at one time vwas the largest.New Zealand is climatically eminentlysuitable .to poultry farming, and thehigh standard set by"our breeders hasproduced flocks of laying birds secondto none in the whole world.

PLEDOE HONOURED. ,"In the past we honoured our pledgeto the Government to fully supply theDominion's needs in eggs in shell andpulp, and, furthermore, built up whatwas then a profitable export trade, only"to find our expansion turned into a two-edged sword by the imposition of theslidingscale of duty on our^taplefood,wheat. We would submit that the poul-try industry is an essential'industry tothis Dominion; it is quite impossibleto import new laid eggs,,as' all eggsimported must have some measure ofchilling, and consequently come into"the category of 'chilled eggs.' On theother hand, it is only too easyto importthe wl\ole of our wheat supplies;and ofa better quality than can be produced

in this Dominion. Previous witnesseshave put forward the contention that/it would be highlyinadvisable to relyon Australia for our wheat supply, butit is surely idle to;,overstress this con-tention m face of the fact that theMother Country draws such a huge -pro-portion of its wheat from the fourquarters of the globe, including NewZealand. We consider the sliding scalea most inequitable measure, in that itheavily taxes the whole of the poultryand other dairy industries for the bene-tit ot a numerically much smaller in-dustry. We contend that wheat -andits offalsused for stock purposes shouldbe exempt from duty, and if necessarya subsidypaid instead; in fact, the mostequitable solution of the wheat ques-tion appears to be the removal of thepresent sliding scale and its consequentburden from the poultry and dairy in-dustries and the substitution of a sub-sidy. It is surely only feasible that ifthe Government finds that protectiontor the wheat industry, is necessary forthe good of the Dominion then the Do-minion as a whole should bear the bur-den,and not one section,as at present.

EXPORT PROSPECTS.The, other alternative is that thepoultry ami-other dairy industries bepermitted., to import duty free suffi-cient wheat for their requirements. Theoperation of the sliding scale as itafteets the export of eggs is most dis-astrous, removing the possibility ofprofitable export entirely.

export of eggs from New- Zealand hastaken place when food costs have beenhigh, but they havy been on,a paritywith the rest of the world.1 Now whenour food costs arekept artificially abovethe world parity we are at the mercyot all other exporting countries.- Itmay be argued that export is only amatter of a small portion of our pro-duco during about three months of thoyear but its effect is much more far-reaching than that. The industry hav-ing expanded to the extent of havinca surplus, unless it can export thatsurplusprofitably at the right time, willhave to carry it as a burden of over-production affecting all its operationsuntil it can be expoTted.to advantageAs an example, three years ago the'price in the Hush season never fell be-low Is 7d, and there didj-not seem tobo any available surplus to be exportedconsequently no eggs were sent away.Considerably later in the season wefound that there had been a consider-able surplus, but it had been-tfied byvarious speculators f,or making pulpand so had not found its way on tothe open market. That unexpofted sur-plus hasôgged the marketing of eggs

REMOVING AN ANOMALY."The anomaly of the very small dif-ference in price between first-class mill-ing wheat and fowl wheat is one whichwe f§ei this Committee could do agreatdeal to remove. At present there is onlya difference of ,3d per bushel, whereas,taking them at their real values, thereshould be at least Is difference; in factwe are often supplied with samplesquoted at 3d below millingprices whichare totally unfit for poultry food. Withregard to the possibility of continuoussupply of wheat and its offals fromAustralia v recent witness stated thatpollard and bran v,~r;re only, available atirregular intervals, and then at pricesvery much above New Zealand. Thisdoes not appear to be at all a correctstatement of the position, as suppliesof both these foods are available ata 1 times,and often at lower prices thanobtain in New Zealand. Recent mur-cliases of Australian pollard have beenit wV «. d per toa' landed on wiar*at Wellington, as against £9 2s 3d forNew Zealand pollard also on wharf atWellington This was a good purchase,°.

"'U *hO,,wheat-grower finds wheat anunpioatable proposition, he in the ma-or'îrv fses.cau change over to sheepmJ}7< tanmaS. b«t the poultry far-mer, it he cannot carry on through ad-verse conditions, which are outside hiscontrol, has no option but to sell outusually at considerable loss, since hisp ant, which often is much more valu-able than his laud, is of little use exceptthP Vs' 1"1.Purpose. Seeing thatthe wheat pool is now exporting wheatat a considerable loss—the return fromexport will be bstweeh Is 6d and Is9d—could this Committee recommendthe wheat pool to set aside a portionof this surplus wheat for.poultry farm-

ers in the North Island at a price ona parity with the South Island price?Finally, we appeal through this Commit-tee to the Government that, at a timewhen it contemplates spending largesums of moneyon closer settlement, itshould see that everything possible isdone to enable those already engagedm poultry-keeping—mostly on smallholdings—to retain possession of theirland and plant, and not be forced intothe already well-filled ranks of the un-employed."

The witness informed Mr. Jones thatthere were 176,000people keeping poul-try 111 New Zealand,althoughhe did notsuggest that all these people were mak-ing a livelihood out of the businessIt was difficult to say how many peoplewere whollydependent onpoultry farm-ing. ■-.-"■

Mr. Jones suggested there might beseventy in the North Island, but Mi-Bates thought that was quite erroneous.He thought they could muster thatmanyin the Hutt Valley alone.Mr. Jones: "Wholly dependent onpoultry?" ■ . .

Mr. Bates: "Yes. Of course, theymight keep a few cows, but if theygave up the poultry they could notcarry on as dairy farmers."

AN EGG' WAB.Eeplying to Mr. Waite the witnesssaid he. did not think the poultry in-dustry was very greatly concernedabout the duty on bran and pollardIn order to make «. profit, he estimatedthat the poultry farmers would haveto get 2s a dozen for their e<rgs allthe year round. The present price ofeggs was fictitious owing to the- eggwar that was in progressat the present

time.Another poultry farmer, Mr.'A GMumby, said the poultry farmers werenot opposed to the production of wheat

in New Zealand, but they did thinkthey should be able to get their wheatat a. reasonable price. They had'suf-fered a tremendous knock as a resultot the imposition of the sliding scale.The New Zealand farmer was at a Wedisadvantage so far as the export ofeggswas concerned.Eeplying to Mr. Jones, the witnesssaid that the removal of the slidingscale would place the industry* on Isound basis.

WHY THE BYLAW WAS DROPPED.q fOI\ a lo£g time Past the City andSuburban Board was desirous of iti-creasing the speed limits (30 to'lsm.p.h.), and on more than one occa-sion passed resolutions in- that di-ec-tion, but when the way was apparentlyclear for increases to 35 miles an hourfor.the road generally and'2o miles anhour through the townships :it wa*ZZ \* Ut that £** was » etah*--tween the propose* »ew speeds and themotor regulations k that the wad as

lhl+li7 area-" and *c reg«fetwns saythat the maximum "safe speed" with-in town boundaries is 26' 'miles -nevhour. Therefore the board Sa^City Council, and the council- agreed,that there should be no bylaw, elceptfor the townships (20 miles per hour),but that drivers should bo governedsolely by the motor regulations;The effect of the speed clausesof the regulations is that -a drivercannot be prosecuted unless " he: is> «w danger of the public"

*nd the standard safe speeds su^gested, as it were) are,Somiles Jfrhour outside a town district"".: and '5within its boundaries, subject alwaystt>_. special .circumstances. If tiedriver wishes to giro the clauses a*cxtieme interpretation he says- "Ican go as fast as I like so longaslam not dnvmfr to the danger of thepublic." And that is-what more, and more drivers on ,the Hutt roadarc doing evci-y day. " "«a

CUTTING-IN. ' ■-.■:-at^'leu' *h0 bylaw-speed was' definite,'at oO miles an hour, traffic cenerallvsettled down to two'traffic s4a330 miles an hour (but more like 35miles,for a farr marginhas alwaysbeenallowed by thetrafiic control). Therewas, of course, overhauling and cutting 'm; lorries were passed by most ears,buses were passed by somereMi__^passed others-but th«.two lines,, fr tothe.Bl ty and out, were, speakin?cener-'lines. That does .not hold now laplace of steady lines at 35 nSel- p£hour the average speed has climbed^**a good deal .nearer 40 miles,,and «"driver who cuts in runs up to 50 ail*at aU infrequently to get there.ingly risky thing to do, from the pom*of view of expense, for the patrolman,promptly made a note/of it. Now' h.has to-prove dangerous driving, a verrdifferentmatter.. . & "- Another way of looking at it is thata speed of 40 miles an hour for thewhole road length would actually be asafer speed than theregulations "takesafer speed than theregulations'"takeyour pick" order of things.-. At an*rate, it would bring back the distincttraffic lines, and would largely put anend to cutting-in, from which, thereis no doubt, the danger arises.The passing of other ears on therong side,onthe macadam,is, as statedabove, being commonly -resorted toand very often, in practice, though notaccording- to the regulations, is thesafest way of getting past, but if thepractice becomes more common th>safety of this breach of theregulationswill become areal danger.

THE ALTERNATIVES.It is argued by, quite a number ■"£drivers that the danger of the Hat>troad is greatly exaggerated; and thataccidents happen on all roads,■an'd>further, that considering the great;volume of traffic on this road, the aco»dent rate is remarkablylow. ■ The other-view is that unless more effective con-

trol can be given,traffic practices willget so out of hand on the Hutrroadthat the accident rate will climb v^ry,uncomfortably indeed, and'that thatcontrol cannot be given without defiVuite speeds, whatever they may be, 30,35, or 40 miles an hour, but some defi-nite limit. . " :

Still another view is that the dangerof driving on the Hutt road under theMotor Eegulations is that the bitumentrack is too narrow fpr three machinesto pass abreast and just wide enoughto encouragethat practice. On a stand-ard 18 foot road no three drivers wouldbe idiotic enough to attempt to do soat high speed; on a 24 foot roa^ prae"*tically every driver considers it safeenough. The Hutt road pavement, saythose who argue in this way, must b«widened. At present is: neither onewidth or another.

The second Test wasallotted to Wellington,'but two sets ofdates in January for the match werefound t'6 be fixed for the Wellingtonraces and tho appearance of the Cana-dian athletes. Sincethen the Now Zea-land Crielcet, Council has revised theEnglish Cricket team's itinerary, butwith this change thero is a. furtherclashing of dates.'

Advice has been received by the1Wel-lington Cricket Association /thai thethird Test, instead of the second,:willnow be .played in Wellington, and thatthe second Test will be playedinAuckrland. Tour days have been set apartfor the third Test, which is to com-mence oh Saturday, Ist March.'

My associ-ation cannot understand this change ofattitude on the partof the council. Atone time .we are told we can have amatch on account of the sailing datobeing put off untii/ttifr Bth, and nowwe are told that if the boat sails onthe Bth we cannot have a match, but itmaybe possible to get a match if .thesailing is put off until the'l4th/''My association has been infOrmedjindirectly, that a match has since 'beenoffered the Southern.

THREE CONVICTIONS OR ONE ?

A licensing case of unusual interestwas heard byt the Full Court' to-day,when questions of law*involved in anappeal from a decision by iln.T. -E.Maunsell, S.M., were argued. The'ap-pellant was Edward ■ Frank Smith,police constable, of Kelson, and therespondent was Keith. Hickson, licenseeof the Koyal Hotel, Nelson. ■

There were on the Bench .the ChiefJustice (the Hon. M. Myers), Mr. Jus-tice Herdman, Mr. Justice.Adams, Mr.Justice MacGregor, and Mr. JusticeOstler. . -. . . .-'.-■■'

Mr. C. B. Fell appeared for the ap-pellant, and Mr. W. Perry, with himMr. S, Moyâgh, for the respondent.

The-case stated by Mr. Mai.inaell wasto the.effect that- the appellant's in-formations alleged that the'respondent,on 27th April, 1929, soldMiquorafterhours, exposed liquor for sale afterhours,and opened his,Hcen3sis- promisesafter hours for the sale of liquor.r Therespondent pleaded guilty"to: the firstoffence,and w,as convicted "and fined&2. The other' informations Arbre dis-missed. in-respect of tie in-formations dismissed was heard by theMagistrate, who Tvas informed,that allthree charges arose put of, 1;lie, same.set of facts. The informant gave evi-dence that on 27th April at 11.45 p.m.,when he was about forty yards fromthe hotel, a taxi drew up outside theplace and the driver entered. The out-side door ,w.as shut, but not locked.On entering the hotel the informantfound that the., lights, including thoone in.,the bar, were' on, and the 'doorleading into .the.bar was ajar.'.In thebar the informant found five men, in-cluding Hicksottand two. boarders,and liquor was-exposed. Counsel: forHickson pleaded the- conviction on thofirst information:as, a"bar to convic-tions on the other two, as/theyrelatedto .the same set facts.' ,The. Magis-trate upheld this .contention on theground that thte opening for sale aridexposing for 'sale' were' part* of :the,transaction of saie\upon;;whien,Hickson'had been convicted,"and were-not inde-'pendent of, but incidental and prepara-tory to and. for: the', purpose; of suchsaleu _Mr..: Maunsell stated hVwas ofthe opinion that;it was the.intention ofthe Legislature -^that'the .offences'ofp'penihg, f6r' sale and exposing for #alewere committed' when they were inde-peridentof a sale, wbenj as a result ofsuch offences, an actual sale was trans-acted, there should-not be three con-victions for .three : distinct-offences.The question' for the decision of theFull Court was whether 'the >Magis-trate's, determinations, were erroneousin point, of law. ' ■■'■ .:

Boforo commencing his argument,Mr. Foil,,replying to the Chief Justice,said that there were no bad circum-stances about the case, but the policewished to have a principle laid downso. that they .might know how to actin a bad case, where three convictionswould weigh under the Licensing Act.

Legal argument is proceeding.'

A STRICT RULE

PERMISSION TO PREACH

BISHOP'S STAND

(By Telejraph.)(Special to "The Evenina Post.")- , AUCKLAND, This Day.

The suggestion contained in a pub-ished report that further/friction hasarisen between Bishop CherringtouandDean G..E. Barnett in consequence ofthe Bishop's refusal to permit 'Mr.Edward.Branscombe, of the Westmin-ster Gleo Singers,, to give a lecture in»t. Peter's Cathedral, Hamilton, onbunday night on music' and religionwag referred to the three parties con-cerned yesterday.

Questioned on the. subject, Mr.Branscombe expressed surprise that thematter should have been given anypub-libicity. Simply, the facts .were- that he(vasinvited byDeanßarnett to deliverthe lecture, which ho recently gave atKing's College, Auckland, in St. Peter'sCathedral. "Possibly^;owing to someecclesiastical- law or custom or to thefact-tha,t I amnot licensed: to preach inan Anglican church, the Bishop appar-ontly/intimated ta the Dean that hopreferred that- the' lecture should notbe given at the cathedral. ■

Bishop., Cherrington^ explained thatnobody could lecture; or .preach in anychurch in a diocese-without the1sanc-tion of the'bishop of the- diocese. "Iivas not consulted, in the matter of Mi-.Branscoinbe '&■proposed 'lecture in thecathedral,".said the Bishop. "lit thefirst'place, Mr. Branscombe is,tnbt alicensed preacher in the Church of Eng-land, and,,-even if he- were,;he. mustobtain the permission of the bishop tospeak in any of the churches under thatbishop's jurisdiction. The Dean knowsthis. As a matter of fact, the know-ledge that.the Deaii had invited Mr.Branscombe to' lecture iv St. Peter-'scame to me. quite casually.. I. there-upon communicated with the Dean,through the diocesan secretary, Mr. AyB. Whyto. I-intimated my. willingnessto seethe Dean.on. the matter,, but herefused.It must be:quite obvious thatitwpuld not "do to. allow, anyonewhocame along and desired to do so tooccupy,th& pulpit in, the cathedral orany other church in the- diocese with-out proper.authority. Any man. with-out credentials and incorrectly repre-senting himself might find his way intothe pulpit. Unless-this 'strict rule,which is general throughputthe Church,,of England, were closely observed,thereis no tellingto where it might lead;.Novisiting clergyman or layman, of layreader even, can speak for more thanone Sunday in any church without thebishop's .permission." Bishop Cher-riii'gton' added that-there was nothing'junusual in his refusal to grant the ro-quest.. .■'-'. ■'. -' . '';'■'

CROOKED AND NARROW

Pursuant to notice, Councillor Jacob-son, of the Petone,?Borough Council,moved last evening:"That steps \>otaken to obtain an estimate of theprobable cost of completingthe widen-ing of Jackson street,; with a view tomaking an application, to the LoansBoard to,tako a poll/of the ratepayersto borrow the necessaryfunds for thepurpose, when, if desired, provisioncould be made to raise the loan moneyby instalment." "':, .'" , 'Councillor 'Jacobson said that at pre-sent the street was-an eyesoro,and heivas afraid if it was left in its pre-sent'condition it would do the districtharm. Responsibility for the matterof placing a loan before the.ratepayersrested on tho council, and ho thoughttho decision should be left with thoratepayers. \ Ho was quito aware thatthe council had a largo expenditure ofloan money. in view, but tho presentcondition of tho street was holdingbacktho dcvclo\>ment of the district.

Counoillo'rOsborir, in -seconding the.motion, said' it was the most forwardmotion that h' ad been moved by thopresent council. Traffic was growingrapidly, buses were growingin numbers,and in size, and a full-width street wasnecessaryto accommodato present-dayneeds. Tho'' argument that the coun-cil should wait until its financial posi:tion wa.s stronger was acbad ono, as tholonger the delny tho greater tl\o ex-pense., Values wcro growing daily.Trade was being- diverted to other dis-tricts which/wero progressive and were.catering fos: trade.

Councillor Toomath said the council-lors would be doing less than their dutyif they failed to place tho proposalsbefore tho ratepayers. "■■'■,"'

'Councillor" Longman supported thomotion,' and said that' tho .ratepayershad already approvedthoprinciple.

Councillor Hogg was of opinion thatthe present;time was not opportune. Theoffeet of tho '£60,000' water supplyncheine on the rates should be seen be-fore any further loans 'were raised. Itshould, be rompmbered, that the mostexpensive portion of Jackson ■ streetwith-the most-expensive buildings re-mained to be i'dorie.

Councillor Brbckelbank said he foundit hard to come to a decision.1. He fav-oured the widening, but thoughtat thepresent time it would' bo too great aburden for the .ratepayers in view ofthe water loan.. " -.-,-■

Councillor Osb'orn:"Can it be doneas cheaply in the future as it cannow!" . ' .".-■■".

Councillor Noble supported Council-lor -Brockelbank. ;■'' -....>' .'■

Councillor Eydor: ','Jf if is ;put offit will cost far more than if it is donehow. Tho ratepayers should have achance of saying yes or. no." ..

The Council wasraising £60,000for: a water supply anda, further £40,000'0r £50,000 would bemore than Petohe people, could afford.

Councillor, Jacobson said he thoughtthe Mayor's estimate of £50,000 wasfar top liigh—probably double thoamount required. * ..-"■!

TRADE AND FINANCEPRODUCE & MARKET REPORTS FROM DAY TO DAY

CONSUMER AND TARIFF

EXPENSIVE SELLING

AUSTRALIAN EXPERIENCE

■The annual report of the CommonwealthTariff Board lays stress on the high, costof distribution and selling in Australia.Itjstates that it has been impressed withthe large percentage increase which theconsumer pays for goodsi abovc^theAus-tralian manufacturers' selling prices, orthe -landed duty-paid costs of importedgoods.- In addition to adopting- the cashsystem-and cutting out the delivery ofgoods, certain retail houses have made afeature of; a large turnover, quick sales,and;smallprofits, and have thus substan-tially reduced the selling prices of manysmall.'articles in.extensive use; The ex-tension .of co-operative' trading has alsotended toreduce the cost of goods to users,while certain organisations have reducedprices by'marketing-goods direct from theproducers to the fjonsumers. There stillremains,however, a.tremendous volumeof goods to which none of the systemsreferred to applies, and there is obviousroom for-considerableextension' of the:system' of cash sales-over the counter.

HIGH PERCENTAGES.With a view of checking costs of distri-

bution,and selling, the board has reviewedcertain figures tendered in evidence. Thisreview-indicates that percentage additionsby. way 6f-costs of distribution run intoexceedingly high figures.. Of about 00:meß: considered,in 21 instances only wasthe percentage addition 50 per cent, orlees,-whilein' eight instances the percent-agewas between 50 and 75. In some casesit'reached the abnormal figure of 300 percent.; The board.has taken distributioncosts into consideration,and in caseswhere it has regarded them as unsatisfac-tory, or-abnormally high, it has not hesi-tated to recommend against the granting■of tariff protection applications.«.''*X.i*li ? *iew to.ProtectiuS the consumertheboard,mdealing with everyapplicationfor_inereased protection, seeks/from' theapplicants an assurance that, in the eventof. the desired protection being granted,advantage will not be taken of it to in-crease the selling prices of goods. Theboard has had under consideration thedesirability of the establishment of. a sys-tem of. following up assurances given.inorder-.to ascertain how far the promisesmade have been fulfilled. Section 17o£theTariff Board Act provides that the boardmay, on; its own initiative, inquire intoand ..report,on certain matters; and thisprovision: might be sufficiently wide tocover the question of whether a manufac-turer is taking an Undue' advantage of theprotection,/afforded by the tariff, thoughthere was room for doubt onthis point,no, doubt as to the issue.

\ * ''TÊ VICIOUS CIRCLE.".: Little comfort is derived by the Mel-bourne "Argus" from the statement in theTariff, Board's report that "with a viewto protecting the consumer,"the board isconsidering the desirability.of ascertain-ing whether 'assurances given to' it thatincreased will not follow increasedduties .arebeing honoured.

For "years seekers of favourshave ap-peared^ beforethe board with the objectnot so much of enlighteningthe board asof presenting" special ■' pleading highlycoloured,.to prove their case.It is.not unreasonable to suppose that

among:the.se special pleaders there aresome who maynot be eager to honour the■undertaking not to increase prices, yet theboard has .apparently assumed that everyapplicant is a man whoso word may botrusted implicitly.

Everybody who has to buy goods knowshow the vicious circle of higher dutiesand higher prices has operated againstthe consumer. The wonder is that theboard has been so'tardy in its recognitionof the,,fact that in the absence of somemeasures to ensure that the undertakingsgiven to it were carried out its lavishdistribution of favourswaabound to'createthe economic impasse with which the com-munity is nowconfronted.

THE MERGER TENDENCY.The Tariff Board expressed the hope"that the present industrial and financial

depression will be the means o£bringingthe parties closer together in an effortto win through to better conditions. Theboard has formed the opinion that fac-tories are showing improved efficiency.Australia's isolation has had the effectofmaking it less easy to maintain efficiencythan it is in the populous industrial cen-tres of oversea countries. This disabilityis, however,being overcome.

"there is in industry a tendency to-, -wards mergers. . It' is being rccoguisedthat cheaper production follows the pool-ingof resources of industries producingthesame, commodity. Wasteful competitionmay, by this means, be eliminated andconcentration of effort encouraged. A

Kerious weakness in Ihe industrial systemef the Commonwealth has been the ten-dency to multiply small factories andplants rather than to bring about a-con-(sfintration in effort in larger works. Ifonr secondary industries are to be devel-oped along the lines desired byv all ity&L be through the medium -f well-plan-jreii factories and efficient organisationrather than by- a number of workshops."

FEDERAL RESERVEBANK SCHEME.

On the subject of a central reserve bankfor Australia, the' CommonwealthBank: directors state that discussions continue.with a favourabletrend,but "agreementas„„ to the form and control has not yet been.evolved. The board of this bank hastaken every opportunity of lettingit beclearly understood that the bank is pre-pared to function in this capacity, and toconform generally to fhe practice laiddown by authorities on central reservebanking in so far as such can be broughtinto relation with the'bank as now con-stituted. In the meantime they can only

" perform such services within the ambit ofcentral reserve banking as the inclinationor .; the desire -of the trading banks mayoffer, and in this respect harmoniou3 re-lationship existsbetween thebank and theother' tradingbanks." v

IS BUTTER OVER-STORED?Messrs. SamuelPage and Son,London,|nde.r date 13th August, have informedHessrs. Dalgety and Co.. that British im-ports of butter from Russia, Finland,Sweden, and Denmark from January toJuly this year are considerably in excessof the same period of 1928,and that "itmay prove a matter for regret that, whilethese large quantities of Continental but-ter were marketed at current quotations

ft considerable proportion of the New Zea-land arrivals have been placed into store,*ior months past; for the accumulation ofStocksmay later prove embarrassing, andhave to be cleared at low prices, in orderto make way for the new season's arrivalsfrom Australia and New Zealand,as hasbeen noticeable in previous years. It issurely better to meet the market all theyear round, rather than give 'cask' but-ter an unchallengedrun and,at the sametime, risk antagonising the distributingtrade, as has happeried before."

The com-pany is also distilling gin. Mr. F. E.Thonemann,chairman,noted with satis-faction that the company was again onthe. dividend-list, and, although the dis-tribution made wad small, it was at leasta progressive step, and in tho meantimethe company's financeshad been placedon a sound basis.

CANADIAN APPLE EXPORT.

The Maritime Provinces of Canadaarcanticipating expanding markets for apples,particularly in the United Kingdom,where,as a result of the energies of theEmpire Marketing Board, there is anincreasing tendency to purchase Empireproducts in preference to others. Al-,though the United Kingdom takes wellover 90 per cent, of the Canadianexport-able apple crop, of every 100 apples con-sumed in that country only 19 are Cana-dian against 38 of the United Statespro-duct, the Dominion's greatest competitor.Apple exports from Canada in 1928totalled 992,277barrels,as compared with967,471 barrels in the previous year. TheUnited Kingdom took 873,381 barrels, ascompared with 825,264barrels 'in 1927.The next heaviest purchaser was BritishSouthAfrica, followedby Newfoundland,which doubled its'imports over the pre-vious year, and then the United States,Denmark^,Netherlands,/New Zealand,and'Sweden.Denmark is a newly developedCanadianmarket which promises to beprofitable.

BUTCHERS'PROFITS.

Visitor's from New Zealand to Englandand Scotland,but especially to London,are usually surprised at the high pricescharged-for meat when compared with theprice realised for imported meat in thewholesale markets. A little light isthrown on this mystery by the latestBritish Food Council report on-the re-tail meat trade. It shows that since thewar there has been a progressive increasein the incomes of retail butchers up tothe year 1927-28. In the case of Londonbutchers the percentage of annual incomeon turnover, which in 1912-13 was 3.1 percent., rose in 1922 to 4.2,and in the years1926 and 1927< to-5.8, though in ,1927-28itfell again to 4.3 per cent., or about whatit was in 1922. The high-water mark ofthe retail,butcher'sprosperity in 1926 and1927 is attributed to the fact that from1925 to 1927 there was a falling whole-sale market, arid that, because iof thebutcher's reluctance to reduce the pricesat which he sells his meat, reductions inretail prices do not as a rule, or at allevents not immediately,' follow reduc-tions in wholesale prices. The public,that is to say, have to wait for sometime before the benefit of the fallingwholesale market reaches them. The aver-age annual number of.bankruptcies in thetrade fell during the period 1919-23 toforty-nine, as compared with 172 in thefive years before the war—there is nodoubt that retail butchers are distinctlybetter off than they were in 1914.NORTHAMERICAN BUTTER PRICES.

WIND-JAMMER DAYS

THE SECOND DOG-WATCHHOW IT ORIGINATED

Most people are familiar with the mineby which old sailormen refer to ibe float-ing schools upon which they learned thecraft of the sea. Itis with affectionratherthan derision that mariners speak of thegood old wind-jammers, which have beenharried before the rush of steam and elec-tricity into the breakers' yards; 'or whichconverted into' hulkß, shorn of their gal-lant spars and top-hamper, lie obedient tothe tides and waves over which they oncedrove in triumph, writes "Old Salt" in theArgus."

rmßs^VfcV fGT decades>Pei-haps,.will havepassed those who commanded and mannedthe tall ships of olden days, and Board o-Trade authorities will cease to discrimin?l,rm "!?" ';el'tificates theyissue-betweena id fi?n,nn'datel 10 havequalified » M«and steam, and those who have passed'.rmv'T °nlf- -Where' thc"' amid thearmy of mechanics,artificers, and tally-elerks who cumber the steel decks ofocean-going ships, shall wo find a specimenof the old-time sailor, the bulletieaded,uig-nsted, mossy-breasted mariner whoused to boast that his everyhair was arope-yarn,every finger a fish-hook,,aMevery drop of blood in his body pureStockhol-lum tar?

To specify what period of the ~day ornight js comprised in the second dog-watchmay prove a "puzzlfe to many readers.Briefly, it js the two evening hours be-tween six and eight, when, the work ofthe- day finished,gear coiled, and decksswept, the crew relaxes,and stretched,inw?,weather, on or about the for'rardnatch, indulges in song and story, cardplaying, or (which is much worse) concer-tina and accordion playing. In heavyweather, although no unnecessaryworkis allotted, may be'seen figures in shinysou-westers, oilskins,and sea-boots,fur-tively lurking under the break of thefoe file, or to leeward of the deckhouse,carefully shielded pipes in hand, standingby for the only musjc likely to disturbthe watch, the sweet voice of the officerof the deck:—

"Stand by your fore topgallant hal-liards!".Then swiftly follows:—" ■ ■ . \. "Man clew-lines and bunt-lines! That'lldo! Lay aloft and make her fast!"Barely are they on deck again before

the order is given to take in the niizzentopgallant sail, and the performance isrepeated. ' ,

"Hope they leave the main for the othurbloomingwatch!'* growls a sailor as onebell is. struck, indicating that in a briefquarter-hour the "other bloomingwatch"will be on deck,and the crowd robbed ofthe fun and frolic of their second dqg-watcU by the exigencies of "snuggingherdown for the night," will go to theirbunks until midnight. " ,

MEANING OF "DOG-WATCH.".A short while ago I read in an English

magazine an article by ProfessorWeekly,dealing with the origin and derivation ofcurious words and terms in common use.In his concluding paragraph he statedthat, in spite of much research,the- originof "dog-watch" had eluded him, the onlyexplanation he had having been suppliedthat since it consisted of only two hours,instead of the usual four, the namemighthave been arrived at for the reason thatthe period was cur-tailed!

A moment's reflection, however, willshow that if a day bo divided into sixwatches of four hours each, the samehours ol: every day and night will findthe same watch on deck or below as theeaeemay be. By splittingone watch intotwo, the disposition is alternated, so thatif the starboard watch be on deck to-nightfrom 8 o'clock to midnight, the portwatch will be on duty between .thosehours to-morrow. It was to dodge the re-currence of similar hours that the divi-sion- was and the two two-hour periods were known as the first andsecond dodge-watch. From "dodge" to"dog," particularlyin a seaman's vernacu-lar, is a very easy transition, and therewe have the authentic origin.

The evening watch, from 8 o'clock tomidnight, is always known as the firstwatch; midnightto 4 o'clock is the middlewatch; 4 o'clock to 8 o'clock the gravy-eyed watch, 8 to noon the forenoonwatch, noon to 4 the afternoon watch,and,then follow the dog-watches.

Those who have friends among thosewho go down to the sea in ships, especi-ally if theybe oneof the old school,shouldnever refer. to a ship as a boat. /

"Where is your boat lying?" soundsa quite innocent inquiry,but red will pro-bably suffusethe tan of a manly counten-ance'as the reply is given:—

"My ship is at Port Melbourne;we tarryastir boats Inboard"!''

Notwithstanding certain tyrannies inthe-matter of dress for women of theLabour Party,' Mrs. Snowdensurviveswith her good-looking clothes and hersocial flair only faintly tinctured withpurpose andknowledge;saysan Englishfashion writer. Mrs. Clynes and Mrs.Frank Hodges are always motherly andkind; Susan Lawrence keeps aermonocle and autocratic bearing; whileMargaret Bondfield,a charming woman,has flexibility and humanity. In thevery centre of all these social and per-sonal changes, at the head of all thesediverting and warring elements,IshbelMacDonald nominally reigns, assistedby her vigorous youth and her sense ofthe ridiculous. Tho home life of theMacDonalds has always been a veryreal thing, notwithstanding the PrimeMinister's long and arduous engage-ment in political life. He has alwaysset aside time to read aloud to hischildren in the evenings and to* identifyhimself with their interests' and activi-ties. .' ; - . "A Woman in Politics.

The brilliant young chief organiser ofthe women's activities in the LiberalParty of Great Britain, Miss MargaretHarvey, stepped straight from Girtoninto political work, states a Londonwriter. She is also secretary of theWomen's National Liberal Federation.She is in charge of the women's workin all constituencies in England, Scot-land, and Wales. Before she, came toLondon she was area organiser for thoMidlands. "If a roughand tumble butvery human life appeals to you, arid ii;you want variety, take up politicalorganising; but if you want a 'steady'life, don't come near it," is her- con-sidered view. You live where you can,and have to mix with every type andcondition of people. But the work isalways new. New ideas,are always com-ing into it; new organising methods,now policies, now aspects in the Houseof Commons.An Unusual Club. \ ",'

' A young people's clvb—the ''.UnderForty Club"—has been recently estab-lished in Londo.n, which has for its chiefaim the solving of the housing problem,states an English writer. Each of theme nberu must read at least three bookson housing, which have been selectedby the committee, and aspecial researchcommittee js thoroughly investigatingthe whole question. Already tho clubhas rained and distributed £8000 tobuilding societies in London slums,andmany new flats have been named aftertho club. Moreover, its latest projectis the purchase of asito whero dwellingsut rentals ,of 10s a weok will bd eroct-ed. It suggests that perhaps the costof building might be lowered, but atall events ,tho club is determined tosolve, or at least to assist very materi-ally in. the solution of tho housingproblem. The members of this clubmust be under forty; but people overforty can join as associate inombors.Though, as a penalty for their vast age,they are required to pay a higher mem-bership; subscription. Many very well-known youngpeople aro enrolled in thisvery enterprising club; tho Earl ofFavcrsham, Lady Joan Villiors,Viscountess Folkestone, Miss Balfour,acousin of Lord Balfour, and Miss Eng-land is tho secretary.Ancient Passion Play.

In an isolated corner of the Inn Val-ley, in the Tyrol, lies the villago ofExl/ whero a Passion play has beengiven at regular intervals since 1613,ac-cording to "Noues Wiener Journal." Itis therefore twenty-one years older thanthe more famousono of Oberammorgau.Ithad-its origin, lil; ■> the Bavarian Pas-sion play, at tho time of tho' plaguewhich raged in the Inn Valley fromabout 1610. Since 1892 the villagershave given performances overy tenyears,_ and have spent the interveningtime in practising and in discoveringnew talent. The village of Exl becamefamouslast year as thq scene of a newPassion play, baspd'not on the life ofChrist, but on that of the Madonna. Itsauthor, tho Tyrolese priest, 'FatherInnerkofler, has kept closely to tho man-ner of the Christ Passion play, in manycases incorporating: the exact words ofthe Scriptures into his rhyming coup-lots. The play was to be given everySunday until September in the nowly-built hall, put up for the traditionalPassion play. It is capable of seatingwell over a thousand people, and has aroomystage and modern lightingeffects.The part of tho Madonna is taken bya beautiful villagegirl, Notburger Pfis-teror, daughter.of the villagecarpentor.She is deeply imbued-with tho spiritof the Passion play, for her father, bothin 1912 and ton years later, played thepart of the' Christ.Women's Borstal Committee.

There was a good attendance at amooting of the Women's Borstal Com-mittee, held yesterday afternoon at theDominion Farmers' Institute. Finalarrangements were made for the annualmeeting, which takes place this week.A number of cases were discussed,'andthe committee agreed to give assistancein some needy cases which were inurgent need of such help.

HEALTH OF MOTHERS

AX INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE

■ There was a large attendance at ameeting of the Ka.ti.onal Council ofWomen last evening, -when Dr. Paget,of the Health Department, gavo a par-ticularly instructive talk about thehealth- of mothers. He said at the out-set that he did not wish to use theterm "maternal mortality," thoughwhat he had to say touched that sub-ject a good deal, but he felt that theuse of the expression too much wasdepressing, and therefore unnecessary.The position in this country was amedium one. While not being reallybad, it was not as good as his Depart-ment wished,and they were usingeveryeffort within their means to better thisimportantbranch of work, and bring itup to the highest standard possible.

" SCANDINAVIA'S EXAMPLE.The Scandinavian countries were at

the head of this work with their fineresults, said Dr. Paget. Great Britainand New Zealand stood midway, whilethere were many countries which werebelow them in work and results. Dur-ing the past five years very special ef-forts had been made to reduce the mor-tality rate, and also the ill-healthwhich sometimes' followed the births;They wero attacking three positions—those of parental' health, childbirth,and post-natal conditions; but he wassure that the basia of the work was inpre-natal care, and he urged that thismust continue all through the expectanttime.

_It was most necessarythat regu-lar visits should be paid to the clinicsfor advice-and help, and he hoped that

the old ideas of women, that when theyhad engaged a doctor and'a nurse forthe time of the birth they had done.allthat was necessary,had passed away.There,was so much that could be donepreviously to ensure safe condition's atthe time of birth, and he looked uponpre-natal attention.as the most valu-able of all.

He explained the conditions of toxe-mia and eclampsia, which led to themajority of the deaths,and'which werequite preventable- at the proper ■time.He was sure that nine-tenths of thedeaths would not take place if thesematters wero prevented by attention be-forehand. As the nurses at the clinicshad received special training, he hopedthat each and every mother would takeadvantage of what the Department wasoffering now, and that the publicwouldincrease giftsand donations to give thiswork the necessary enlargement. Atthe clinic the visitors were first seenby a nurse, and then, if necessary,bya doctor. Treatment was given, andmany were saved from ill-health ordeath. The clinics had started in 1925,and the attendances had increased inthe three yearsvery greatly, over 5000women in tho Dominion having attend-ed the clinics in tho last year; with20,740attendances. 'This meant thatmany of them had not attended regu-larly enough, four or five attendancesduring the time of pregnancynot beingsufficient. Any,unusual conditions werewatched carefullyand reported, and thiswas an immense safeguard to tho moth-ers, for then there wcro no unpleasantand alarming "surprises" at tho timeof birth, for both doctor and nursewould be on tho alert for anything un-usual that might occur.

"NOT AN EMERGENCY." '£>r. Pa get gavo some interesting in-formation on puerporal sepsis, or puer-peral fever cases. Sometimes, both inhuman beings, as well as in animals, acondition of tho body caused thistrouble, but ho was sure that such caseswere very rare. rThe reason of the curi-ous and unfortunate "waves" 'of puer-peral sepsis which occurred occasional-ly wcro not known,and "were,of course,tho subject of research. "Labour mustnot be treated as an emergency," saidDr. Paget with much emphasis, "butmust bo prepared for with great troubleand care." The principles.of asepticsurgery in ordinary operation's must becarried out in cases of childbirth. Allarticles that were used must, be steril-ised, for germs were carried by humanagencyfar more than by air. Sterilisedoutfits were now being prepared anddistributed, and should prove; an im-menseboon,securingthe safety of manymothers who wero unable to receive hos-pital treatment. Tho Department wasworking for better education in obstet-rics, and ho mentioned tho/ establish-ment of an obstetric chair at DunediuUniversity which would securo betterteaching and training of all students.They wanted higher education of inid-wives, for ho was sure that these, ifproporly trainod, were excellent incases whero a doctor was difficult togot, mentioningthat in Holland, wherethe results wero tho best of all, therewere mostly midwives in attendancewithont doctors. .A "maternitynurse"was not nocessarily a "midwife," spe-cially advanced training being given totho latter, bo that sho was competent toattend cases right through, and wasnot as hurrjod as most doctors, who,often, had othor urgent calls upon them.Given a number of theso trained andcapable women, the results in New Zea-land would bo immensely better, andthere would be littlo need to talk about"maternal mortality," for it wouldalmost cease to exist. What the De-partment wanted was moro ante-natalclinics, more woll;equipt>ed maternityhospitals, and more and better trainingfor students. The training time hadbeen much extended of lato years, buttho subject was great and of the firstimportance, and he looked for the periodwhen it was treated on theso lines.

EXTENDING PLUNKET WORK."How can women help this?" wasthe question immediately asked when

Dr. Paget concluded his romarks. Afterdiscussion it was decided that to helpextend tho Plunket work, especially inthe country districts, where the mortal-ity is greatest, was a practical way, andwould prevent overlapping. A commit-tee was set up to go into the matter,and Dr. Paget was thanked very heart-ily for his interesting^ and instructiveaddress. :

A successfulconcert was held in theTown Hall, Ngaio, on Thursday even-ing, in aid of the funds of tho Ngaiobranch of the Plunket Society. The en-tertainment was arrangedbyMrs. Theo.Hills, who was asssited by the, follow-ing performers:-—Mr. Goudie,■ MissesKcba and Iris Hunter, Marjorio .andAudrey Baumgren, Pamela and PatriciaHills, Joyeo and Marjorio' Neupprt,Margaret Churchill, Chrissie and LviHills,, Bcna and Olga Gardiner, BettyHain^s,Hope Flaws, Nifca Sherbrook,Alice Dick, Joan Jorgeuseu, and RuthPierard, Masters Peter ;.-.

CROQUETCLUB OPENINGSThe official opening of the WaimarioCroquet. Club, Lower Hutt, took place

on Saturday, when there was a recordattendance. Mrs. G.^Savage (presidentof the club) received the guests, andin callingon the Mayor, Sir AlexanderRoberts,to officially open the club, saidhow gratified the members were thatLady Roberts had become theirpatroness. Sir Alexander wished theclub all prosperity and a good" season,but remarked quaintly that if he hadknown he"had to put the ball throughtho hoop he would certainly havebrought his own hoop and amuch widerone! In due course he declared thegreen open and played the first ball."Lady Roberts (w.ho was gowned ivblack crepe de chine, with a squirrelcoat) received a posy in cyclamenshades,and poises were also presentedby Joan Stoiipe^to Mrs. Savage: andMrs. Austin.

The Wellington Cricket Association'sManagement Committee for the 1920-30season held its first meeting. last ni"ht.Those present were Messrs. P. B. Broad,J. S. Hanna, A. Ronaldsbri,W. A. Ald-ersley, L. J. Brabin, J. Reid, A. Doneg-hue,R. A. Whyte, W. J. R. Christopher-sen, R. F, Steele(representative of theUmpires' Association), and A. Varney(honorary secretary). Mr. P. B. Broadwas re-elected chairman,and he welcomedthe new members,Messrs. Steele,Reid,Ronaldson,and Whyte.

With regard to this season's PlunketShield matches,it was pointed out thatthe dates would have to be arranged so asnot to clash with the English team'smatches. The programme■for the Eng-lish team's tour had been amended,andit would" be necessary to have the altereditinerary beforefinalising matters iv con-nection with the Plunket Shield games.A suggested programmefor the Shieldmatches was received from Canterbury,but it was decided that consideration bedeferred until next meeting, by whichtime it was hoped to have the Englishteam's itinerary; ' . ""

Mr. P. B. Broad was appointed torepre-sent the Wellington Cricket Association ata special meeting of delegates to the NewZealand Cricket Council, to bo .held atChristchurchon the 12th November, afterwhich the annual meeting of the councilwill be held.

Details were,given of the steps whichhad been taken with regard to the annualTown v. Country match. The variouscountry associations had been communi-cated with, and replies had been receivedfrom all except Taranaki and Wanganui.The replies were favourableto the matchbeing played annually, and so far aB theconditions were concerned,the countryassociations were in agreement with Wel-lington's suggestion that either the coun-try associations ,or the country playersshould bear the travelling expenses neces-sary to take part in the match. In thepast tho match had been costly to theWellington Association,which had paidthe expenses of players taking part. Theassociations agreed that the most suitabledates for the match were the 29th,and 30thNovember. .

WOMEN IN RUSSIA.(To the Editor.)

Sir,—lnyourissue of the 25th.the Wel-fare League writes at length." on thequestion of "Bolshevism and Home Life"-"Women in Russia." The whole thingseems to be consistent with the generalattitude ->f the WelfareLeague in slingingmud at SovietRussia continually in thehope that some of it will stick. Theyhave never yet given her credit for havingiachieved anything, and in this respectwe find them in contradiction with autho-rities of all kinds who have visited thefirst SocialistRepublic. Allow me to referthem to a work by Jessica Smith, anAmerican Red Cross nurse who has beenin Russia since 1921,which will make itclear just what has been achieved forwomen in Russia. In many respects itwill be seen from this that their lot isbetter than that of other working womeninthe .world in spiteof the fact that priorto the revolution they were in the worstcondition. ("Women in Soviet Russia"Vanguard Press,New York.)

Recently a new book has been issuedby Mr. H. J. Greenwell,special corre-spondent in Russia for the London "DailyExpress/ and he has this to say:—"One of the questions most frequentlyasked of a traveller returning from Russiais: Are the womenof Russianationalised?'I do not know the origin of this legend—for legend it is—and it is one of thosestones which Jiave spread throughout theworld, and which will never be overtakenby the truth. What is the truth? It isnot difficult to tell. So. far from being■nationalised' the women of Russia are,on the whole, infinitely better off thanwomen in the majority of otherEuropeancountries.; " . . . I must confessmy admirationand appreciation for what it (the Govern-ment) has done in adjusting moral stan-dardsand removing a considerable amountof the hypocrisy which still remains inother countries boasting of an older cul-ture."I should also like to quote just oneparagraphfrom the "British Woman TradeUnionists's Report": "One of the first

acts of the SovietRevolution was to pro-claim the equality of the sexes. At thesame time it was recognised that the onlyway in which to realise the completeequality of women in fact, and not onlyin words, was to grant her not merelypolitical rights, and equality with men,but to make her economically independentand to freeher from the constant domesticdrudgery which has done so much to nar-row woman's outlook, and has caused herto become the helpless dependent of themen iolfcof her family—not only in Russiabut throughout the world."

"Space prevents dealing at further lengthwith the question. As far as treatmentof children is concerned,many authori-ties could also be quoted. We shall justtake one. John Dewey, Professorof Edu-cation at ColumbiaUniversity, and per-haps' the world's greatest authority onchild education,visited SovietPrussia andwrites as follows:—

"Enduringly impressed in memory is avisit to a children's colony in a formerGrandDuke's Palace in Peterhofup theNeva from Leningrad. The place marksthe nearest approach of the white armiesto Leningrad, the buildings were moreor less ruined in the warfare,and are notyet wholly restored. Two-thirds of thechildren are former 'wild children/ or-phans, refugees, etc., taken from thestreets. . . . I have neverseen anywherem the world such a large proportion ofintelligent, happy, and: intelligently occu-pied children. They.were, not lined upfor inspection; we walked about thegrounds and found them engaged in theirvarious summer occupations, gardening,bee-keeping, repairing buildings, growingflowersin a conservatory (built and nowmanaged by a groupof particularly toughboys, who began by destroying everythingin sight), making simple tools and agricul-tural implements, etc. Not what theywero doing, but their manner and atti-tude is however what stays with me. Icannot convey it; Ilack the accessaryliter-ary skill. If the children had come fromtho most advantageouslysituated families,the scene would have been a most remark-able one, unprecedented'inmy experience.When their almost unimaginable earlierhistory and. background were taken intoaccount, the effect;was to leave me withtho profouridest admiration for the capa-cities, of; the people from which theysprang, and an unshakable belieE in whatthey can accomplish. This experience andconviction was renewed in every institu-tion .of children and youth which I vis-ited. ..." " ■*Jlf time permitted it would be possible todiscuss at length some curious figures onmarriage life in New Zealand,but we shallhave to leave the question as alreadystated.—I am, etc.,. .R. F.

A LONE REVOLUTION

This happened in. Czeeho-Slovakia.Toward the end of laßt year a school-master named Vineb Hihalus, who wasunknown outside the little country townof Trenshin, in Slovakia, decided to or-ganise a revolution. Nobody mindedvery much, because scarcely anybodyheard of it. But Vinco dulyproclaimedhimself head of an independent SlovakState, solemnly sent circulars toi theauthorities of Czeeho-Slovakia, and in-formed foreign Governments of the ex-istence of his "Government," addingfor their information that his capitalwas Trenshin. Soon afterward ho fledto Vienna, and in a few weeks his out-break was not even a topic for con-versation. But something happened notlong ago that rescued this lone revolu-tion from the realms of obscurity. Anote was received from the SiameseForeign Ministry in which the SiameseGovernment took note of the establish-ment of an independent Slovak Govern-ment at Trenshin and extended itsgreetings. ; ' » . ■

NARCISSI

There was a large attendance of mem-bers of the Karori Horticultural Societyat last night's lecture on narcissi,givenbyMr. C. E. Buckingham, of Lower Hutt.The lecturer explained the culture neces-sary for the production of show narcissi,the classification and choice of show varie-ties, care of show blooms, hybridisation,and other matters. The selection and cul-ture of varieties for home decorationwere also interestingly discussed. Thelecture was most instructive and enter-taining, and the complete answersto growers' questions brought fur-ther enlightenment. Mr. W. Slater alsospoke. The-society is under■.a deep .debtto these two gentlemen for past and pre-sent assistance. A display of narcissi wasmade by local growers.

with general paralysis showed some im-provement,,the general processes concern-tL?- feJerttbeW able, apparently to dis-loage_and attackthe organism. As far back

ajs 1887 Professor Wagner-Jaunegg, ofVienna, suggested the use of malaria fortreating cases of general paralysis, but itwas not until 1917,after-years of disap-pointment' and -failure, that his successfulresults began-to attract general medicalinterest,and in. 1922the Board of Controlinstituted a trial of this method in GreatBritain. . .COMPARATIVE FIGURES.

In this method of treatment malaria iseonyeyed_ toMhe-patient by the subcuta-neous or intravenous inoculation of theblood of a malarial patient, or by expo-sure to-a mosquito infected with malariaft"? a b.«ef. incubation period bouts oflever begin at regular intervals,and theinfection can be controlled and broughtto an. enS, ~as desired,by the adminis-tration of.'.quinine.■As with every new form of treatment,especially for an almost incurable malady,there is always a tendency to take a fartoo .optimistic outlook, but Admiral..Meagherrhas scrutinised the results withsuch, care that his conclusions,very cau-tiously drawn,are of considerable valueAs a. comparisoni for the results of.material treatment he followeda groupofover 600 cases of general paralysis admit-ted to various mental hospitals in 1923,

where the new treatment was not employ-ed. Of this group 90 per cent.- had diedby 1927.and only 2 per cent, had beendicharged. Since.1922 over . 1500 cases' ofthis disease have received.=malarial treat-ment in various' mental hospitals. Of theseless than 34 per cent, are dead and 25 percent, have been discharged.It has been used as an argument againstthe employmentof malarial treatment thatit is futile to keep alive patients whowill only continue to be a burden upontheir relatives,but on. investigating thecases who have been it is found

that 321 are able to follow an occupationand'only-42 are totally unfit, for employ-ment because of their mental state.. FUTURE PROSPECTS.

When it is remembered that under existsing legislation cases are only admitted tomental hospitals, where the bulk of mala-rial treatment has been carried out, afterbeing definitely certified as insane, andthat the series,here reported cannot besaid to. include:, early-cases, then the re-sults are' .truly, remarkable. There aremay practical difficulties in the way ofsecuringearly treatment, but these will begradually overcome, and there,is hope foreven better results in the future.

As to how malaria acts in curing gen-eral paralysis great uncertainty exists.Somemaintain that.it is merely a conven-ent way of.giving a patient "regularly re-curring bouts of fever, while others holdthat the malarial poison lias a destructiveaction upon the organismscausing;generalparalysis. Whatever the process there cannow be little doubt, after AdmiralMeagher's report, that malaria does offera chance of a cure-for a hitherto incur-able malady. '.'■■■.

AN'UNPOSTED LETTER

■■'■-■■■ ' (By Telegraph.)(Special to "The Evening Post.")

DTJNEDIN, This Day..'A. charge against Donald Huleheson

,<of fraudulentlystating that he had post-'sd a packet containing money, know-ing that he had not done so, was dis-missed ,in the Magistrate's Court yes-terday. . .:' 'Evidence was given by two postalclerks at Balclutha, who.stated that"when the accused called at the officethere on 20th August; he complainedthat a registered letter which he-hadposted had not been received. '

Alan AlexanderNoble, postal clerk atDunediri,-said that on 24th August,heinterviewed the.accused, who told- him■that>ie',had'registered* a letter to hiswife on. 14th August, and his wife haduotreceiyed.it. He. said the letter con-tained bank notes to the value,of 30sOn.31st August witness saw theaeeusedagain, and he still contended that hehad posted the letter and repeated hisprevious statement. He told witnessthat when.he called at. the-BalcluthaPost .Office on 20th August the clerksaid he remembered selling accused thejinVelope. The accused made a state-ment, which he signed, and in which.headmitted he' had not posted theletter"n 14th August, but he thought he haddone so, and was very sorry that hesaid he had done so. The officerecordsshowed"that the accused's wife had^re-coived several registered letters. Ifsatisfactory evidence of the posting-ofletters was produced the Departmentwould pay: compensation to the extentof £2 for a lost registered letter., Mr. Hanlon, who appeared for theaccused,submitted that the case mustbe; dismissed,as no element of fraudhad been. disclosed. Fraudulentlyiiieant' dishonestly, and the 'questionreally was whether the.accused had dis-hpnestly made that statement knowingit to be false. Counselsubmitted thatthe accused did not make the.state-ment knowing it to be false, becausehe honestly believed ho.had posted theIgfcter. Sir." Hanlon commended thefiction,of the police in the matter. Theypad been particularly fair, and it wasiqtiite obvious that when the accused!tead^'tbe statement that he had-posted'ifce. letter, he thought he had done so,Jot ie was sorry; The onus was dn;We prosecution to prove that he. hadtrad* the statement dishonestly, but he)m& not done so. ' :._ . ,

TI»» said it was a foolishJKtiOB on 'the: accused's part to make aStatementthat.he had posted the letter"Without foundation. He did not think£e_ would be justified in holding that a■wima facie case had been established.SRie charge would be" dismissed.- - ■ ."

ECONOMIC STRATEGISTSNEEDED

(To the Editor.)Sir,—ln yoursub-leader of Thursday last

you drew attention'to an articles contain-ing the_ advice-ofMr. G. A. Richards,anAustralian commercial magnate, to hispeople, to the effect that Parliamentshould set .up a Bureau of Economics andbase ■ its legislation upon the conclusionsof the technical experts of this bureau.Mr.-Richards-also says: "The politicianprefer^ shallowness to depth, because thepublic mind itself is not deep." May Isuggest to your readers that this adviceand this' statement are the opposite of thetruth for the.following reasons:—The onlygood anyone knows in life is enjoyablefeeling, and: painful feeling is the onlyevil: .-._'.

It:has been my business for many yearsto study, in practice, the work of thepolitician and journalist, and also that ofour. technical experts, of whom,as a law-yer and chairman of. business companieslam one. In that experience I havefound the function "of the politician andjournalist,to be that of ascertaining andreflecting in: their work the feelings ofthe'people, while that of th= technical ex-pert .is to ascertain the forms or forma-tions in which the creatures of Nature in-volved in the national life can be com-bined. The tendency of the technical ex-pert is to make the people conform tocomplex forms of living regardless of theeffect on their feelings, and investigationdiscloses the truth, which is recorded inthe Gospels, that the setting up of formsby the technical expert is the main ob-stacle in the way of human development.Mr. Richards maintains that the mind ofthe people is not deep, whereas the deepis the simplewhich all understand;it is the.complex forms in which the technical ex-pert delights which are shallow or super-ficial.■ ',■'.■.) The.truth ■of these statements may beclearly realised by anyone who will reflectupon the following factsof common know-ledge:—The.living,..internal,and external,of every.creature consists solely of createdthings combining their activities in a com-mon"enjoyment. In order to form sucha combination it is necessary to divide theindividuals involved in it into differentservices;so that each performs that func-tion for'which it is naturally fitted. Here,then,'.is the.vital question in the life ofall created things: How are the individualsexercising, the different functions in acombination-to treat those who requiretheir services?They have but two.alter-natives—the first is to treat ihose theyiserve as they would like to be treated bythose who-serve them. This is, and1 al-wayshas been,as the Gospel m essage>pro-claims, the:law o£ the tJniversc, leadingto the developmentof the minds or spiritsof those .who obey. it. The socond alter-native is for people to hold up then?ser-vices,for .bargaining, or money-making,■which:course results in the narrowing anddegrading of the minds or spirits of thosow\ follow it.i All. that: is necessary tov bring about in-New Zealand a common loyalty to this;universal "scheme of living is that burpeople should combine their interests *in'one enterprise directed to the ascertaininga^d'procuring of the needs of all memberswith special care for those who are weakor This cannot be done,however,,through :the idea of a "state"which is merely one of. those ideas givento us through the minds of' technical ex-,perts whereby we may, if we-so desire,lose'sight of.the fact that there are in. lifeonly, the Creator:and his creatures, whoare merely different forms of * the sameidea,so that each has the key to the feel-ings' of the others in.the operation of asimple,and beautiful.scheme of life whichis governed in, accordance with the onelaw .abovereferred. to. .;It is'-the"technical expert who has led usinto. the.belief that.the process of creation,the Garden of-Eden. story, and the confu-sion,of tongues in. the Tower of Babel.mentioned in.''Genesis,are merely ancientevents,, whereas in-truth they are also.teurrent happenings;in the daily life of allpeople, and their real meaning can onlybounderstood by.referenceto these currenthappenings. Through the activities ofthe technical expert-also men have lostsight of wonderfulpossibilities of life ofwhich:the'presentflying and wireless ac-tivities are merely primitive examples.

Instead, therefore,of technical expertsbeing given the task of eroding a way ofescape from our national difficulties, asMr. Kichards suggests, all that is needed

is for Parliament to find the courage togo into Committee,with the Press present,and call beforeit our leading technical ex-perts. It will be found that they knowof no difficulties or opportunities in life.Iother than those above referred to, thekey to which is hidden by our confusingtechnical: language. Thus it could bemade plain that the true function of Par-liament is to represent the " Controlleroflife, and see that the universal law abovereferredto is obeyed.It is common talk- that if New Zealandbecame nvolved in another great war,

steps would be taken to combine our re-sources in ■one enterprise as above de-scribed. This could be done much moreefficiently and enjoyably in times of peace.The essential need is. that people shouldrealise that they know only of a universalcombination of created things governed inaccordance with the law above described,and that their enjoyment of this combina-tion has always been measured by theirobedience to this law.—l am, etc.,
