Tlxe Times' Berlin correspondent states that in memory of_ Dr. Stresemann ihe Berlin. municipality is renaming the famous Koniggratzen Strasse as Stresemann Strasse. A number of provincial cities are h'onouring him in a siipilar way. In connection with the Hawke's Bay Spring show next week it is a xxotablo feature that fully 100,000 square feet of space will be taken up by motor and other trade exhibits. This is a xecord for the society' s shows. The sido shows, too, will be mofe numerous and more varied than ever. The Hawke's Bay Education Board has advised the Hawke's Bay Automobile Association that it is circulariaing headmasters of _schools_ in regard to the danger to children fronp motor trafiic on the roads, and was asking the masters' co-operation in instructing the children to exercise care on the high- . ways. s At a special meeting of the Taradale Public Library management committee it was reported that the Napier .

The native ministe? of the district, one of the most .respected members of_ the Synod, cqncluding a speech which evoked considerable amusement at times, brought down the house hy saying, "Talk about' scenevy! We have the best scenery in New Zealaind, but silver and gold we have none." Some v consternatlon was , c.aused! amongst motorists earller- in the -year by reports that attacks were to be made on the finance for highway purposes, but sipce then the Prime Minister, Sir Jofeeph Ward, has explained the whole matter by stating that the finance will he a-vailable. The question was referred to at tbe meeting of the Hawke's Bay Automobile* Association yesterd'ay, when the secretary of the North Island Motor Union, Mr H. J. Scott, advised that, with the president, he had waited op the Prime Minister^ Sir Joseph Ward, who. had stated definitelv that the grapt of £200,000 and the £35,000 would be continued as heretofore free of interest. Members' commented that this news was very satisfactory. "In Napier I have run against a eertain amount of opposition to the association beeause of the fact that the association advised motorists that' tlie Hastings camping gi-ound was superior to ihe Napier one," remarked the servioe officer _ of the Hawke's Bay Automobile Association, Mr A. Stace, in a report to the association yesterday. "Howeveiy having vi^wed both grounds," he added, "and having discussed the "'matter with Alr Ghadwick, I am well furnishecl with information to meet this opposition." It.was comraepted that motorists need not have further worries, a® it was uuderstood! .the c-ouneil Ead a programme of improvements in contemplation. Mr ' Stace also* expressed the opinion that the camping ground at Lake Waikare moana was too small, twenty-eight camps being at present the maximuni capacitv of the grounds. However, he was inforlned that as soon as the road roupcf the lake was opened up a new camping ground with a much larger accommodation would be rormed.

On Tuesday thev leave for Rotorua, 'where tliey spend two days xesting before the third test at Auckland. To-morrow is the anniversary of the return trans-Tasman flight accomplished last year by the Southern Cross from Blenheim to Sydney. _ In conneetion with this flight, Major G. _ A. Conper, who is at present in Hastings with the touring Auckland plaues, recently said, "If there ever is a transTasman air servioe , it must be maintained with flying boats. The Southern Cross, of course, was a freak machine. Laden to the utmost with petrol and eear, it naturally required a freak aerodrome. Anyhow, I_ don't expect a machine like that will ever land in this Dominion again." Tt is said that a bad rehearsal makes for a good show, but a good rehearsal teignifies a better sliow. Patrons can therefore confidently look forward to an excellent entertainment to-night at the Municipal Tlieatre, Napier, as last jiight's rehearsal went with a swing. In addition to the voried turns bv the large number of pupils, songs will be rendered by Miss Mollv Doyle, and Miss Moira Dallow will appear herself in a daintv and tiiarming gavotte. The pronerties in the poreelain and potterv hallet have been snecially designed and executed by Mr Donald Golder, _ ancl are works of art.

Few native peoples are endowed with & sense of rnnsie so chariiilhg as our bwn Maoris. Tliey are, themselves, a "deeply musical race. and their voiees have- a pecularily sweet timbre. Tn 1927 ihe Parlophone Company vecorded two of the finest Maori singers, Aua Hato and Deane Waretini, in a jseries of discs commemorative of the visit to the Dominion by the Duke and Duchess bf York.

Miss Spencer, ehief organiser, extended a welcome to tlie delegates land made a.hrief snrvev of the work which" had heen done during the past year. The morning session was devoted to general business. In the afternoon a mest instmctive adclress on the subject of "Worry" hy Dr. McLean was xollowed with great interest', and he was accorded a very hearty vote of tlianks.

The xcsult of tlie two previous games left Waipukurau with a lead of four, so it .was necessary for the home club to win eight games out of the twelve if they were to secure the shield. They just failed to do this, winning seven game? and losing _five. The results were as -follow, Waipawa players heing named iirst: — Rust lost to Mackie, Critchley heat Bradley, McKay beat Gardiner, Eagle beat Hooper, Staines lost to Williams, Prujean heat Waddington, Maher heat Boyes, Edwards lost to Chambers. Woods beat Dunn, Pohio heat Hewitt, H, S. Rathbone lost to Keene, Haughton lost to Foot. In handing over the billiards and snooker sliields, Mr Wedde congratulated the "Waipawa players in winning *Lotli irophies. Mr H. R. Peaeoek, in xeplying, said that apart from the social pleasure derived from these contests, they served to perpetuate the memory of the two dear friends who had donated the shields, the late Mr Pai\l Hun,ter and Mr H. M. Rathbone. Men's sports wear is now showing in the shops round town. Particularly fine is the assortment sliowing by Fargher and Co. Cream gaberdine trousers at 12s 6.d, a heautifnl range of woolten gaherdines at 32s 6d and 35s, and rwo-piece Roslyn bathing eostumes at 15s 6d are a few of the notieeable items.* WTien a man gets all his daughters bff his hands he generally has to startkeeping their hushands on their feet, and finds the oheapest place to cover the feet is at Hannah's eut price sliow pale, Napier or Hastings.* Milburn Portland cement is to-day in the forefront of all buildings scliemes.

Notice is given that a meeting of ratepayers in tlie Raupare, Twyford, Mahora and Tomoana districts will he kekl in the Twyford ScHoolroom on Monday next, at 8 p.rn., to discuss river matters. Both sevvices in Trinity Methodist C'hurch (Clive Square) to-morrow will be conducted hy the Rev. W. G. Slade, M.A., whose respective sub.iects will be, "The Two Baptisnis — John's and the Messiah's," and "Saved from Doom." In the evening service the ciioir will render the anthem, "Comes at Tinies a Stillness." During the couvse of a political adclress in Brisbane last evening a supporter of Mr S. M. Bruce, the Australian Premier, was considerably annoyed hy hecklers. After protesting against the organised interference of hooligans, the speaker said, "We, Mr Bruce and myself, are not like you lahour agitators ; we don't get out in the middle of the roqd ancl make a noise like a dead chicken." An uproar followed. A town that has no unemployment was discoveml hy Mr H. E. Edgley, of Napier, during his recent tour of England and Scotland. It was a village situated in Somerset, where some years ago a pliilanthropist left a substantial legacy for relief purposes for those temporafily destitute. Mr Edgley told, however, that for some years the eiviov authorities had heen incomoded hy the fact that thev could find no applicants for assistance. Man knows not what a day may bring forth ; far less is he able to penetrate the veil of the distant future and predict with accuvacy things that will happen centuries after his own tinie. Tlie fact that the Bible contains many such prophecies, which have been fulfilled centuries and even millenniums after their i-eeording, demonstates its divine origin. One of these predictions, and its remai'kable fulfilment in history will form the subject of an address to be given (God_ willing) in the Foresters' Hall, Napier, on Sunday at 3 p.m. The title will he "Over 2500 years of the history of the nations predicted in a dream." The opinion that the Higli Commissioner's office in London was serving a useful purpose was expressed hy Mr H. E. Eclgley, of Napier, when discussing witli a pressman his impressions of liis recent English tour. He said that the office was a grent rendezvous for New Zealand tourists, who gatliered there to read the New Zealand papers and to meet one another. He remarked that the staff was most courteous in giving inforniation to New Zealanders who were travelling at Home and even went to the lengtli of securing tickets for funrtions that were heing held. _ He added that the office was heing sliiftecl to more central and comfortahle quartere. The drone of the aeroplane engine which, although commonplace in Hastings now is still something of a novelty in Napier, was heavd over the town early this morning and residents who rushed out of doors discovered that C'aptain T. White was overliead in the Hawke's Bay Aero Club's new Simmonds Spartan machine, with the coloured streamers flving to signify that the touring Auckland 'planes would he arriving in Hastings ■ this afternoon. After circling a couple of times over the town Captain White made rapidly back to Hastings, but paid another visit later in the morning. The popular jazz dance in the Cosmopolitau Hall, Napier, will he held to-night, also on Thursday night (Show night). The recital, "Youth Calling," which will he presented ;at tlie Napier Municipal Tlieatre on Saturday next, hy the junior pupils of Miss Constanoe Macdonald and Miss May McDonalcl, will feature several charming numbers. Miss Rae Sanders, aged six, of Hastings, will delight with her aotion song, "The Sick Doll," for which she was awarded first pnze at the Wellington competitions. Evei-y liearfc will he capturecl by the baby dancers from the Ma-x Studio, in their vivacious contvihution to a programme brimfnl of variety. There will be a glimpse of Shakespeare's exquisite fantasy, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," in which the quarrel hetween Titania and Oberon occurs, only to be laughed at hy Puck, sometimes called Rohin Goodfellow, the mischievous imp of the woodland. The first of a series of euchre tournaments in aid of the social fund of the branch of the N.Z.W.W. was held at Te Kumi, on Thursday evening. There was a good attendance of players from the camps and also from Waihua and Mohaka. The first prize for ladies was won hy Mrs IMatenga and the second by iSIrs J. A. Johnson, Mrs Davie Rbbertson carrying off the eonsolation prize after a close contest with Mrs Hart. The gentleiuen's prizes were won hy Mr S. Weaver and the second by Mr Hart, the eonsolation heing securecl by Mr Charteris. The chairman, Mr F. G. Mendoza, was in charge of the gathering. The chairman presented the prizes and 011 behalf of the oonimittee tlianked the gathering and invited tliem to come along again. A splendid supper was served by Mrs Murphy and assistants, after which the gathering dispersed. Prospects for tennis in Central Hawke's Bay this year are bright and at tlie ailnual meeting of the Waipukurau Club the opinion was expressed that the coming season would he even more successful than last year. The elec-tion of officers, for the ensuing year resulted. !is follows : — President, Mr JD. Ormond ; viee-president, Mr I. W. N. Mackie; hon. secretary, Mr S. H. Wilson; committee, Messvs R. P. Mrilder, E. B. Waddington. J. G. Stewart, H. Peaeoek, C. L. Monckton, D. Swainshury, S. I. Peaeoek and F. A. G. Dunn. A very strong ladies' committee was also set up. The cluh's secretary, Mr «F. A. G. Dunn, who has held that office for five years, received a tribute for the fine services he had rendered the club. It was stated that it was mainl.v due to the energy and enthusiasm of Mr Dunn that the club occupies its preseut satisfactory posftion. It was deeided that the aiimial tournainent be held on Thursday. Friday and Saturday of the first week in Jannary. Several of the courts are readv for play, and altliousih the official onening does not take place till late this montli, elub members were using theri to-day.
