YOUNG MAORI'S DEATH.CHARGE AGAINST FELI-OW

NATIVE.CASE WITH STRANGE FEATURES

> Auckland, June 1.At the Supreme Court to-day a

charge of murder against a young-Vlaori named Hona Herewini, otherwiseHona Selwyn, from Awanui, was com-menced. He was charged that atAwanui on February 7th. he murdereda fellow Maori mitred Mei Hemi Hui,22 yearß of age. In opening the case, :Air. Tole stated that on Saturday, Feb-ruary 7, a number of young Maoriswore about the Awanui Hotel in theafternoon, some of them belonging toAwanui and some coming from Kain-garoa. After the hotel closed at 6 p.m.they remained lor a time about thestable yard of the hotel. Some timeafter 7 p.m. prisoner and Mei Hui werese.-n fighting and were separated.Prisoner was advised to get his horseand go home, He went to get his horseand Hui walked towards the gate lead-ing to the road. Then prisoner, whohad got on his horse, rode towards thegate and the Crown case was that aslie rode past Hill he inflicted a verysevere and fatal blow on Hui's headwith some weapon, either a piece olwood, or a stirrup iron. Hui fell un-conscious and; \after trying to revivebim, all the Maoris went away. A mostextraordinary feature of the case wasthat this injured young man seemedto have been left lying in the yard., Afact that was wrapped in mystery washis removal, for the body" was foundlater, only after three or four* days'search, in* a drain a quarter of a mileaway from the hotel. Evidence for theCrown had ilfct concluded when thecourt adjourned.

Prior to the rising of the court theCrown Prosecutor said he wished toreduce the charge .to one of man-slaughter and Judge con-curred.

WALKER'S NURSERIES.HASTINGS ENTERPRISE.

The generous flat lands of- this dis-trict and the beantiful climate ofHawke's Bay combine to make Hast-ings the centre of a teeming countrv,iHuch is especially .suitable to theestablishment of nurseries for the pro-pagation of fruit and shelter trees,shrub's and flowers throughout theDominion and overseas.

; In this regard Mr. W. H. Walker; anurserjtoian of over 30 years' expe-rience, who has been in chargte of thepropagation department in T. Horton',sLtd. Well-known nupseries for the pastlive years, is to be congratulated onlaunching into business on his offn ac-count and starting operations in acompact nursery of three acres, situ-ate in Omahu road, just beyondjTrimley.

.j

A reporter visited tlie property yes- 1tierthvy and, although this is probablythe worst time of the year 'to put anursery on show, tlie owner conductedtlie pressman over the premises, in-;eluding six spacious glass houses,Amongst tlie shelter trees wjiich Mr. fWalker has in preparation for the pre-sent season are no less than 40,000ducalyptus gums, which are in wide, de-mand and for which he hits extensiveorders. Tomatoes also claim cjose at-tention and', last year, he had earlytomatoes from his hot houses "on thomarket as early as November, whilst,he forces that palatable tuber, the ikutnera, 'in hotbeds to supply the public,requirements in this regard. In No. 1•_glass house was a fine show of beddingplants, including 500 cactus and in theadjoining house were early tomatoesand a fine lot of bulbs for floral work,whilst a third structure was taken upwith hardy annuals, such as aequiligia,.delphinium etc. , In tne fourth glass 'house were over'a thousand beautiful jcyclamen. The propagating horuse held )daphne and lemons, as well as spring jflowers an 4 in this department the fmanagement is forcing blooms fortVinteFi . . j

Mr. Walker informed the visitor that ■he had been importing a number of Inovelties in begonias, to cross with Our,own New Zealand varieties, for tne;purpose of improving the strain, with iexcellent results. In the potting shedjthe seeds are sown and potted, trienisent to the greenhouse, after whicUjthey are pricked out into boxes, being»subsequently hardened off in frames iorthe market. . ■■

The orangery, .with its heavy ladentrees, is a most promising department

' and although the fruit will not be fullyready until July,. such is the. demandthat the management have had to pickoff the ripest products to supply anorder for marmalade making. Ihelemons are still green but the harvestappears to be abundant. The nurseryalso grows the variagated Lisbon lemona handsome fruit bearing shrub, iu

much popular favour, l-li* processes ofthe nursery further embraces floralwork, the management having constantorders tor bouquets, wreaths and fordecorations. Violets were 'in muchevidence and in reply to a question,Mr. Walker paid "violets are in greatrequest and I cannot raise enough tosuply the local dema,nd. Referenceto the nursery would be incompletewithout a word about the fernery wlncucontains a really fine display of maidenhairs and asparagus, as well as pahns(Kentias) and about a thousand bego-

nias which were, it was explained,"resting." ...

Mr. Walker, who is an enthusiast in

his profession, has a thorough know-j ledge of his work, having passed exami-nations for the certificates of the RoyalHorticultural Society and of the SurrejCounty Council (Horticultural Uxvi-sion) 'both of which are very searching

I tests, besides which ne has had three-wears' experience with J. .Telteh and Son., the Royal ExoticNursery, Chelsea, all of which mustassure patrons that orders placed by

them with him will receive careful andexpert attention. *•;

LABOUR CONFERENCE.

THE MEETING AT GENOA.

A cablegram from London states thatattention has been drawn to the ab-stention of New Zealand from repre-sentation at a conference summoned bythe International 'Labour Office to dis-cuss matters affecting the mercantile

j marine. The International LabourOffice is constituted under the League

lot Nations, and it is to inept at Genoa|on Jun«.» 15. The cablegram mentionsI that New Zealand "has replied to ter-: tain investigatory questions which were[ circulated" and that the notice of the] conference "doscri'ios the special posi-j tioti obtaining i" New Zealand."

I The general secretary <>: i i:NewZealand Seamen's Cnioit (.Mr. W. T.

• Young) stated to a "|)ominion" re-! porter that it was admitted tin- work-J ing conditions of the New Zealand sea-, men were the best in the world. Uut•th - failure of tlie Dominion to lv> re-! .s. nteil at the International Confer-i euro was not the fault of the seamen,

iwho were particularly interested. Air.j Young stated that he had rervived ad-vice of the conference in April. Mr.

■ I*. Fraser had at onto communicated! with the Prime Minister, who had re-' plied in the second week of May thati he had just received advice of the con-.! ference, antb that it was too lato to: send a New Zealand delegate. Thei Australian Government, remarked Mr.I Young, appeared to have had muchearlier information of the conference.

! Mr. Young added that he had askedMr. Havelock Wilson to explain to theconference why New Zealand was notrepresented, fie had not replied to theinvestigatory questions issued by theLabour Office, and the replies reported (

■ to have been received by the office musthave come from the Government. J

PLUNKET SOCIETY'S ANNUALREPORT.

This year's copy of the annual report■ and information generally as to the> movements of the Society for the- Hea'.th of Women and Children, better> known as the Plunket Society has beent received by our Napier office from the

i Napier secretary. It is a thoroughlyinteresting booklet and helps to show

• the reason for the decided success thattho Plunket system lias been.

The movement is wel'. known andthose who are at present in chargeappear to be leaving no stone unturnedto make it even more of a success andspread it to other countries all over theworld. Tho motto jf tho society is:Improved training in mothercraft andu higher standard of health and effici-ency, for the sake of tho women andchildren, for the advancement of tiioDominion, and for tho honour of thoEmpire.

The booklet mentions in particularthe work being done in England bythe Babies of the Empire Society, whichwas founded somewhat over two yearsago to establish work in England oilsimilar lines to that in New Zealand.Tho report from London states that thosuccess --lias been unparalleled and thishas been large'.y due to the amount ofwork done by Dr. Truby King, C.M.G.,who was sent over specially by theNew Zealand Government to assist thomovement. Work being done in otherplaces all over the world by similarbodies is also mentioned.

tome specially interesting figures aregiven in connection with birth anddeath rates- These do not show theEmpire or other European countries ina very good light. The Orientals (Asia-tics and Eastern Europeans) not only

; far outstrip the true Occidentals (West-ern and Central includingAmericans and colonials) in fertilitybut they still show high birth rates,while all tho other countries havefallen below the "Safety Line." Thebooklet states: Tho population wasfalling before the war when the birthrate was 19 per- thousand, now it hasgone down to 9 or 10 per thousand andthe total population of France is fallingby about half a million per year. In theUnited States the birth rato of true

' Americans is only about 16 per thou-sand. The low average of about 25

■ births per thousandhas only been keptI up of late years by the large familiesof the proletariat immigrants fromEastern, Central and Southern Europe.The following figures are given:—

Before the war: Eastern Peoples(1000 millions) —Russia, births per 1000people 44, deaths per 1000 births 248;Balkans -10 and 163; Japan 34 and 154.Western Peoples (400 millions):Austro-Germany 29 and 160; Australia28 and 71; United States 25 and 100;Canada 21 and 103; Great Bfitain 24and 104; franco 19 and 78: United

• States (Native born) 16 and 95.During tho war (1917) the figures

given are: Great Britain 18 and 103;London IS and 103; Edinburgh 15 and ■: 133; New- Zealand 26 and 48; Dunedin '24 and 40. j

' The "savety line" is given at 30 jjbirths per thousand people,j The England and Wales birth chart jshows that in the past 40 years, com- Imencing from six years after the j1 Franco-Russian War, the birth rate hasfallen gradually from 36 per thousand jto 18 and is rapidly proceeding tonational annihilation.

G.Coates and referring to Post Offices,has caused some consternation' in Na-pier where it was almost confidently ex-pected that the old Post Office wouldshortly bei replaced by an up-to-datebuilding. The matter is one that is tobe brought before the Minister of Pub-lic Works during his visit on Saturday.The general opinion appears to be thatthe old buildings can be "put uf>with" for some time yet if tho delayassists in the pushing on of the rail-way and h.Vdro-electric .schemes whichtare everything to tho town. Thisw-ould probably eventually mean amuch better building than would hewarranted under the present condi-tions.

THE H.B. TRIBUNE.WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2nd., 1920

AUSTRALASIAN FINANCE.

Following on wha-t was said here yes-terday with regard to the high ratesof interest just now ruling in thp OldCountry for big borrowings, and theapparent difficulty which the ImperialGovernment is experiencing in gettingmoney even under these conditions,confirmation 6f the views then expres-sed is to be found in a special Londoncable appearing in a Sydney paper re-ceived by last night's mail. This mes-sage runs as follows:—"Opinion in theCity is that Australian Treasurers willnot have an easy task in raising loansunless they are prepared to pay. a highprice. Although competition for highinterest on industrial flotations haspractically ceased owing to the banksrestricting facilities for speculation,there is a prospect of money continuingdear. The discount market is discus-sing the possibility of. a further advancein the bank rate, also British Govern-ment investments offer a high rate otinterest. Exchequer bonds for i- 100maturing in 1922 now yield the investoi£.7 6/- per cent. The new housing loarfor Kent, Middlesex, and Essex of|£0,000.000 at 6 per cent., quoted ;i+

9/5.J, and .redeemable from 1940-60,yields £6 6/9 per cent. There is un-doubtedly plenty of money available for

!investment in gilt-edged securities i)[the terms offered are sufficiently attrac-I tive."

In connection with the question . iColonial borrowing abroad may hinoted than an announcement that was.republished soiiie few days ago from aSydney contemporary seems to navebeen premature. It was then -

that a beginning had been made inAustralia of municipal borrowing irom

the United States, inasmuch as theSydney Corporation had accepted at.

American tender of £300,000 towards nloan of £85Q,000 that was being raise*,

It appears from later newspaper filesto hand last night that the Council -

resoluion of acceptance was conuioiona,

on certain stipulations as to paymenand repayment of the principal and a.to payment of the interest being ar-ranged. These, stipulations had mainlyto do with questions of exchange be-tween the United States and Australia.Art the result of further negotiation itwas found that the terms on which theAmerican lenders would subscribemeant a virtual interest rate of 7 percent-., instead of the 6 per cent, fitwhich the loan was authorised" to befloated. At the same time, it may oi

noted, the committee conducting t-funegotiations stated that "similar terms

| were being accepted by Brittish andCanadian authorities," and that "theoffer compared favourably with thiterms upon which money could be ob-tained outside ot Australasia at thepresent time and under existing condi-tions." The offer was finally rejected,and it is quite evident that we mustnot look to Uncle Sam for anything inthe way of cheap money. It may herehe said that neither this municipalloan, which has now been on the market some good few weeks, nor the Stateloan of two millions, urgently requiredmainly for the relief of the drought-stricken areas, seems to be meetingwith any very cordial response frominvestors, although each returns a goodrate of interest .

With inference to American lending*;,it, must be remembered that it is quitea: new experience for the United Statesto be an outside investing nation, an-1that even prior to the war the ratesof interest current there were quittappreciably higher than in Great Bri-tain, a fact that largely accounts forthe immense amount of British capitalwhich, luckily for the Empire, was atthe outbreak of hostilities invested in

the United tSates. Had it not been fotthis the financial relations of the Em-pire with that country would have ueeneven more unfavourable than they are.It appears, indeed, from latest Londonfiles that, although a considerableamount of gold was sent from Londonto New York for Iho purpose, stillBritain's share of a 100-million Anglo-Freach war borrowing from Americawas largely redeemed with American"dollar" securities still held in Londonand purchased by the British Govern-ment with the object of using them toavoid the excessive exchange. This isall the moro remarkable because it wasthought that the British Governmentin order to meet war exigencies, ha-.llong since swept the country prettyclean of "dollar" securities eligible foithe purpose of setting against wartimepurchases of war material and suppliessecured in the United States.

With regard to the propects of in-ternal State borrowing in this Domi-nion, the matter was touched upoi.yesterday by the Prime Minister 'nthe course of an interview with a depu-tation that waited upon him. So far,however, as is disclosed by the tele-graphed report, which alone is as yex-available, Mr. Massey appears to ha.Tebeen most studiously non-committal inwhat he had to ear. While admittingthat the country had prospered vastlyduring and, it may be said, out ot the jwar, he evidently desired to impress!his audience with the need for esercis-

(ing the greatest economy and discre-tion in the expenditure of the newcapital that has thqs come into tne»

,Dominion. Thus, when members of thej deputation made reference to the ab-! normal increase in bank deposits, andJto the success which had attended thej flotation of the War and Victory Loans,he reminded them that "though moneywas plentiful, it was paper, not gold."and that the loans had to some extentbeen raised "under compulsion." Fofar as the former reference is concern-ed, it may be said that the moneywealth of the whole world has for longbeen, and is now more than ever, verylargely "on paper," whether in theshape of currency or of credit. In thisrespect his remarks do not, therefore,seem to carry very much in the wayof significance, for we are here in noworse position than otherIn truth, we are on a very much bettorfoundation than most, for behind us - rhave the security of a highly produc-tive land, whose great natural resourceshave as yet reached a quite early stageof development. As to the element ofcompulsion in connection with pastloans, we have never been alloweu t »

know how far its mere threat was effi-cacious in inducing 'voluntary" sub-scriptions, or how far it had to be putinto actual application. Possibly Mr.Massey may have merely been droppinga gentle hint that, if necessary, theplan might be adopted again, althoughthere are many good arguments againstanything like its perpetuation for thepurposes of national developmentfinance. In any event, given a fairchance of marketing our prouuee,there should, if judiciously conserved,be plenty of money in New Zealand tocarry us along until world finance ad-justs itself. In this we are, withoutdoubt, very much better placed tuanour friends in the Commonwealth.

It appears from the notes of themedical correspondent of the London"Times" that the profession of medi-cine is at present attracting studentsin very large numbers. This is especi-ally the case in Scotland, where greatdMculty is being experienced in copingwith the rush of would-be doctors and"doctoresses." Edinburgh, Glasgow,and Aberdeen are full up, and nextyear promises to be worse than this ;

indeedj "waiting lists" are beingspoken of. To some extent, it is ex-plained, this is due to the presence ofstudents returning from war service toresume their work. But there wouldseem to be little doubt that the attrac-tions of the medical course are in them-selves very potent. It is generally feltthat a great new epoch is beginningand that in a golden future there willbe work for all. The correspondent,however, issues a word of warning, say-ing that it will be a great pity if ex-aggerated notions of prosperity leadunsuitable persons to enter the mostarduous and the most difficult of theprofessions- "Medicine," 'he writes,"is a calling, and few are fit to becalled. It is no easy way to riches; avery small fraction achieve riches inits pursuit. On the other hand manylose health and strength and enter oldage as broken-down men. These factsshould be to the young men andwomen who are now crowding to theschools." Doubtless many of theseaspirants for a professional life arelooking to the overseas dominions foropenings, but they should not forgetthat in many of them there are medicalschools with, opportunities and facili-ties for training almost equal to thoseof the Old Country.

At the Hastings Magistrate's Courtthis morning, a Maori of tremendouvgirth and avoirdupois, whom the witnessbox barely accommodated, and whowas a defendant in a Judgment sum-mons case, acknowledged being thepossessor of a horse, which lie was 111the habit of riding. "It must be a goo'Jhorse," said the examining counsel."How old is he?" "He's 30 years oldand he belonged to my grandfather,"replied the unabashed native, amidstgeneral laughter.

"It would be a great idea," said Mr.-V. G. Day, S.M., at theCourt last week, "if football' clubs re-fused to play members who had notfulfilled, their obligations under theDefence Amendment Act." The Magis-trate's remarks were induced by theplea put forward by one defaulter, whostated as his reason for non-attendanceat a half-day parade,- that he had been ,playing football. Many cricket clubsand social clubs, concluded Mr. Day, 4had carried out a plan of this kind dur-;ing the war, in respect of eligible,-,people who had not enlisted, and itwould help considerably if all sportsclubs would look at the present positionregarding defaulters from the saittepoint of view.

' Since high wages have been pre-valent in Britain the tea-drinking habitlias increased to an (larming extent,"said a medical man who has recentlyarrived from the Old Country, "but.from what 1 have seen since I came, toAuckland I would say that ted-drinkinghere has reached the limit. Peopleseem to drink tea at every hour of theday, and all I can say is that for yourown sakes you should 'take a pull' on !what has become too strong a hafejtwith you, and is already telling oxt thenerves of your young girls and women,as is easily seen by even a casual glanceat their faees. One of the greatestevils we have in the Old Country," headded, "is the development of the ciga-rette habit amongst girls and women,which is of quite recent origin, andvon should be very thankful that it hasnot taken such a" strong hold here. Itis only the nerve specialists who comeinto close contact with the evils of thehabit who really know the harm itdoes and the ills which accrue from it."

A gentle reproof to producers is ad-ministered by Air. M- A. Eliott in the.New Zealand Journal of Science andTechnology. He writes:—"In connec-tion with the discontinuance of toe'meat commandeer,' it is to be re-gretted that many of the producersappear to be adopting a policy of cast-*ing about for some one to throwstones at, and for some one who willcome to their assistance. When the'commandeer' commenced, and forsome time afterwards, the producers ,were quite satisfied with the pricespaid for New Zealand meat, wool,butter, cheese, etc., and especiallywere they thankful for the finance'provided by the" Imperial Government—as well as they might be; but 'assoon as it was discovered that the Bri-tish Government were making a profitout of their New Zealand purchasesa howl went up from one end of theDominion to the other. They forgotthat if it had not been for the BritishGovernment their produce would havebeen worth practically nothing, andthis country would have been bank-rupt.

As the transportation of, "racehorsesof the galloping class, between thoNorth Island the the South, has beendeclared "black" until the New Zea-land Jockeys' Association's disputewith the Auckland District RacingCommittee and the New Zealand Rac-ing Conference has been settled, waterside workers at northern ports haveto be satisfied of the classification ofhorses which are being transportedAn Ashburton sportsman, Mr. R. McDonnell, has just experienced an in-stance of this. He brought this trot-ting stallion Hal Zolock from the NorthIsland by the steamer Monowai, which,arrived at Lyttelton from Wellington ■on Thursday afternoon. But he hail . ;

some difficulty in satisfying tilt* -Je- <mand of Wellington waterside Work-ers that the horse is a a"-galloper.

Poles War on Reds.SUCCESS ON BERESINA.

THREE DIVISIONS CAPTURED.

BIG BATTLE IMMINENT.[By Cable.—Presa Association. —Copyright.)

London, Jane 1.A Polish communique reports that

the Poles encircled two Bolshevik in-fantry divisions, and one of cavalry be-tween Ossowa and Jakszyco, in theBeresina district, taking 2000 prisoners.The remnant fled in a panic. It is be-lieved a general action is pending.—(Renter.)

The Polish offensive against Russia,which has aroused concern in Alliedcountries, and which some authoritiesin England hare regarded as doomed tofailure, was due, main'y, to the Bol-shevik concentration of armed forces,artillery and munitions on the Polishfrontier. While this concentration wasin progress, the Bolsheviks were mak-ing peace overtures, which the Poles re-jected, regarding them as trickery, de-signed to permit the Bolsheviks to com-plete their plans unmolested- The open-ing Polish drive threw hack the Bo'ahe-viksand resulted in the capture of prac-tically the whole of their accumulatedartillery and munitions, as well as anumber of trains. General Pilsudski,the Polish leader, told a "Times" cor-respondent in February last that hewas not afraid of the Bolsheviks, eitherin peace or in war. "They are badsoldiers," he said.

MISCELLANEOUS CABLES.! Sir Francis Younghusband, in a pre-sidential address before the Geogra-phical Society (London) states that anexpedition to the summit of MountEverest was being arranged.

The views of an Auckland businessman recently reported will be of in-terest to women at the present junc-ture. They are as follows: "Where 1think there will be a big drop is inthe prices ot luxuries. During the»jr many peop'o drew very bigwages —more money than they hadever handled before. While the warwa?> oil there was a certain amountot restraint in the matter of spending,but when the war was over this wasremoved, and the people who got richquickly entered upon an orgy of extra-vagance. Now their power to acquirethese luxuries is diminishing, and, witha falling demand, the prices are boundto decrease. But 1 think tho pricesof necessities »ill not be affected for aconsiderable time yet. Nor do 1 thinkthere is likely to bo any lowering ofthe price of crockery, on account of thenigh cost of production. There may befluctuations, but, 1 think, the priceswi'l remain mucn tho same for sometime." Another merchant thought thatBritain had "reached tho crest of thewave" of high prk-e>, but- that thoturning point was first here. He con-

that thern was no chance oftrade that should In- British revertingto America to any great extent. Ex-change was tho great factor, and theStates required their own goods inmany lines.

BOGUS TARTAR REPUBLIC.TREACHERY TO GEORGIA.

ARMENIANS FIGHT TO LAST.jßy Cable.—Preen Association.—Copyright.]

(.Received 2, 8.15 a.m.)Teheran, May 31.

The Tartar Soviet government ofAzerbaijan was established after theoccupation of Baku. It exists merelyas a nominal Republic torn by conflict-ing Turco-Russian intrigues, Moscow

; influence predominating.The Government maintains relations

with Persia, but has broken off rela-tions with tho Entente.

Eighty interned British are employ-ed as labourers.

The Bolsheviks subsequently proceed-ed to deal with Georgia and Armenia.They temporised with tlia former andpretended to lecognise their independ-ence and actually signed peace at Tif-lis on Bth May. There was great re-joicing. Meanwhile, heavy Roil forceswere concentrated on tho frontier fromBaku where heavy lighting is proceed-ing.

Armenia was roughly handled fromthe outset, bu* pluckilv rejected theorder to evacuate Karabagh and Zan-gezur, and hastily formed a new Cab-inet which suppressed internal Bolshe-vism and prepared to resist the Redsto the last ditch. Prolonged resistanceis impossible and the only hope ispeace between the Allies and the Bol-sheviks. which is likely to cause Turco-Bolshevist dissention and disintegratea monstrous opportunist alliance. Theinclination of the Bolshevists is to giveArmenia a chance, whereas Turkey isdetermined to destroy the latter. Ap-parently wide reaching Bolshevistic de-signs oil Persia have been postponedwhile subduing of Georgia and Ar-menia.

The situation at Enzerai is unchang-ed.—(Times).

A deputation of the Wanganqi branchof the Huapoi Fruitgrowers"' Associa-tion yesterday discussed with Mr.Veitch, M.P., the position of orchard-ists with regard to Government ad-vances to settlers.

Mr. Veitch admitted the importanceof aiding the industry but pointed outthat security largely depended on theskill and character of orchardists. Hethought something might be done onthe following lines:

Loans might be made non-transfer-able except with the consent of theHorticulturalDepartment; loans mightbe for shorter periods; regular inspec-tion of orchards, inspectors having cer-tain powers of control; and an insur-ance fund against loss compiled bycharging a slightly higher rate of in-terest on loans; considerationshould be given to a district run on co-operative lines.

The Magistrate stated that in thetrade prices cannot be definitely fixed.Some articles turned over rapidly, andjin ether cases an article in a line wasnot sold once in six months. Five percent, may be a fair profit on a lintturned over every day. Twenty percent, may not be a big profit in othetlines rarely demanded.

Mr. Billings agreed that a uniformprofit could not be fixed. Referring tothis case, lie said the wholesale cosiof the vaseline differed with variousmerchants. Apparently, at the time olthe purchase some purchased the lineat Bd. wholesale, while others perhapsat a little more. He suggested 87 percent, was an unreasonably high prolixand could shew that other chemistswere selling the line at 1/-, a grocer at1/-. and another grocer at lOd.

Evidence was then given in support.Richardson, chemist in charge of the

Friendly Society's shop, said he hadcharged 1/- for a siiTiyar pot for ttitpast six months. The cost had been7/2 to 8/- a dozen in Wellington. Hewas satisfied with the profit made byselling at 1/-.

Cross-examined, witness said his dis-pensary claimed to be a non-profit-making concern, run for the benefit ofthe United Friendly Societies. He sohlto the general public, Dut did not caterfor them primarily. In chemistsshops they did not split three-pence. Achemist did not compete in some lineswith a grocer.

He gave evidence as to the furthercomparative cost of running a chemist'sand grocer's business, a chemist's assis-tant, owing to professional quaInten-tions, needing higher pay than grocer sassistants.

The case is proceeding.

BOLDIERS' PENSIONS.[ "NOT A LIVING WAGE.": ALL-ROUND INCREASE

ADVOCATED."The greatest problem the country

will have to tackle in the future is thatof an increased pension rate," said Dr.E. Boxer, in delivering his presidentialaddress to the annual conference ofthe New Zealand Returned Soldiers'Association. "If w'e can push thatthing through—and I hope you willpush for all you are worth—we will doan incalculably good thing for the pen-sioners, I am convinced that £2 isnot a living wage, is not a moderatepension, and does not fill the bill."The general indications he had person-ally received from members, of Parlia-ment were to the effect that they re-cognisied that £2 was not enough fora totally incapacitated man to live on.He believed that the country would hebehind their demands and that Parlia-ment would be forced by public opinionto make such monetary provision thatit would be possible to increase pen-sions on an all-round'basis. He hopedthat such a demand would go throughwith no uncertain voice.

HYDRO-ELECTRIC ENERGY.' THE GOVERNMENT'S POLICY.

WAIKAREMOANA SIMPLE ANDj ESSENTIAL.

Questioned by an - Auckland "Star"representative übout the progress ofthe hydro-electric schemes, in theNorthIsland, and especially the one whichmost closely interests -Auckland, the

' Arapuni scheme, the Minister of Pub-lic Works, the Hon. J. G. Coates, said

■ that the test work at Arapuni for thebottom of the dam was still being car-ried out, and that until these tests arecompleted it would be useless to pre-pare for the construction of the dam atany particular spot. He expressed the

| ; hope that the tests would prove satis-' factory, for the Department would then

I : lie able to go right ahead without fur- j| j tlier loss of time. j

Discussing the Waikaremoana scheme,i ■ the Minister explained that the W ai-

! : kokopu railway, authorised last year,i i was being pushed along energetically, jI and that plans and specifications for ij the necessary road work contracts, so Ii that the building material could be! carried from the railway to Waikaremo-'ana, would be undertaken »•> soon as j' engineers were available to put on to. the work. Meanwhile all preliminaryj w£rk had' been put in hand in readi-; ness for a start on construction when-the material reached the ground. The'work at Mangahao was also developingJ satisfactorily. The aim of the Depart-j ment, explained the Minister, was to■have the three schemes progressing

, simultaneously, if accordance with the> recommendation of Mr. Parry.

"There has been some criticism' about proceeding with the Waikare-, moana scheme until the other systems■ are working," said Mr. Coates, "butas a matter of fact Waikaremoana is

t really essential as a supplementaryscheme to the Arapuni and Mangahaoworks. It is, moreover, the simplest ofthe whole three to develop. The policyof the Government is to develop thehydro-electric energy of the countryas. rapidly as we can get the materialand men to do the work. The wholebusiness is purely a commercial enter-prise, and it i& realised that the soonerwe can supply current the sooner willreturns come in to pay interest on thecapital money being expended on thevarious construction works."

(Own Correspondent).The spinsters of this district excelled

themselves by giving a Leap Year ballin the hall on May 26th. The commit-tee of ladies with Misses McAulay andWatson as joint secretarys, were mostenergetic in preparing for the event insomewhat inclement weather, and theirefforts were completely successful in

! entertaining their guests who number-ed nearly 200. They decorated the hallwith greenery from the bush and pur-ple and blue draping, and the generaleffect, combined with the many colour-ed dresses worn, was very fine, present-ing a gaily animated scene. They pro-vided a capital supper laid in a marqueeand served in three relays, by the spin-

-1 sters. Misses .McNeill and Stephensortw-ere M.C'b. and carried out their

i. duties ably. The dance music was play-ed by Miss Hobin (piafto), Mr-. J. Pel-low (violin), and Mr. Maher (cornet).Extras were given by Misses Watsonand Stephenson, and Mr. F.

THE X-RAYS.OPERATOR'S DEVOTION TO

SCIENCE.One of the most interesting cable

items which have come to hand re-cently was published on Thursday re-lating to a discovery by Dr. Pech, ofParis, ensuring the protection of opera-tors against the effects of Xrrays bythe application of rays neutralising theultra-violet ray. Since the X-ray wasfirst brought into use there have beenmany cases where the operator has en-dured most painful sufferings, and in

•4ome cases lost fingers or even one ofhis hands. Perhaps the most notable'instance is that of Dr. Vaillant, headof the X-ray department of the Lari-boisibre Hospital, Parity who in Aprillast gave another proof of his unsel-fish devotion to scientific research inrelief of human suffering, when heunderwent tiie amputation of l/5s leftarm in consequence of X-ray burns re-

( ceived. while experimenting. An en--1 thusiastic worker, even pushing self-sacrifice to its extreme limits, Dr. Vail-lant, in the course of his laboratoryexperiment:*, had already lost threefingers of his right hand and his leit.laiiti entirely. I'or several years thiaiifty-year-old martyr to science liasendured most painfu'. sufferings, be-lieving it his highest duty to contributeiiis utmost to advance human know-ledge at the cost of his health andstrength. Three years ago he wasnamed a Knight of the Legion of Hon-our- On April 4, at the City Hall, M.Jean Yarenne announced "the latestsacrifice of Dr. Vaillant, to whom thePresident of the City Council and thePrefect of the Seine, have publicly ad-dressed the assurance of their 'ivelygratitude.

EXPORT OF BUTTER.

PROBABLE CARRY-OVER. -

FOR DOMINION CONSUMPTION,

The latest figures issued by theGovernment Stati.sth.ian regarding theexport of butter shew a considerablelading c'f in the quantity, comparedwith the corresponding periods lastyear. During iiarth last 33.041 cwt.,compared with 108,311 cwt. in March,1919, was sent away. For the threemonths ended March 31, 1920, thequantity exported was 179,402 cwt., asagainst 214,937 cwt. for the correspond-ing period in 1919. And there were310,i53 cwt. shipped for the 12 monthsended March 31, 1920, compared with429,627 cwt. in the preceding 12months.

Under the circumstances, it seemsquite possible that there may bp a faircarry over at the beginning of the neivseason. In view of the'fact that higherpri :es for biftter are likely to beobtained on the Home market nextseason these figures are significant.Although nothing has definitely beenannounced, it is thought possible by,men iu the trade that the Governmentwill arrange that any carry-over shallbe kept for consumption in theDominion. This would mean that theold stocks, acquired at a lower pricefor butter-fat than is likely to be paidnext season, could be sold at a lesser'rate than the new butter. The qualityof the old stocks may not be as goodas the new season's, but it could besold as a second-grade butter. In pre-War days, a second-graae butter usedto be sold by the factories.
