A Napier resident who has just returned from Wellington took tlie opportunitv to visit the House of Representatives during the debate on the taxation proposals. He remarked to a pressman tliat tlie stonewall heing conducted by those opposing tlie proposals was most tiring and many tijnes during the debates members beeame so wearied that often there was only half the total number in the House. Many members could be observed reclining at full length on their benches as the, debate dragged on through the niglit hours and the speaker asserted that Mr D. 3IcDougall, the unorthodox member for 3Iataura, was seen to be making to his seat at the, commencement of one evening session with a pillow under his arai, for comfort during the long discussion. Great satisfaction was expressccl in Waipukurau yesterday when intimation was received that 3!iss Dorothy Jean Ellison, daughter of 3lr and 3Irs George Ellison, of Tavistock road. 3\aipukui'au, had teecured the Sir George Grey scholarship at YTctoria College, Weilington. Tlie scholarship, which is nwarded annually, is open to aclvanced science students and carries a value of £50. 3Iiss Ellison was eduoated at the AVaipukurau Distriet High Sehool and early sliowed great hrilliance, under tlie tuition of 31r H, R. Domans. 31iss Ellison secured a scholarship some years ago, since when she has been at Victoria College. Wellington. The winning of the majov college award of the year by a Waipukurau girl has naturallv been warmly received in the Central Hawke's Bay centre. When the matter of speed limits was under consideration at tlie joint counties conference 111 Napier this morning Mr C. Pattison (Patangata) remarked that it was very hard ior a motorist who was travelling to observe al) the varying restrictions in the districts tbrou^i which he passed. The chairman, Mr T. 31ason Clinmbers (Hawke's Bay) concurred and iemarked that in England speed limits had been abolislied. The basis tor eafety there was that the driver should not go .at a speed dangerous to the public. As long as there was no danger he could go at what speed he desired. 31r R. Puflett (Hawke's Bay) said that he found on his recent visit to Australia tbat tbe same thing applied. there. There was no speed limit and often he had travelled at a mile a minute for half an hour on end.

A joint conference of Hawke's Bay counties in Napier to-day discussed the question of motor traffic on. Sundays. It was stated that there were inatances where lorries were being used to earry timber, furniture and general merchandise. 3Ir C. Pattison (Patangata.) said that it had been brought to ihe notice of his county tliat there was extensive lorrv traffic 011 Sundays, and it had heen thought tliat that was not right- He could , not suggest any means of comhatting it. , 31 r R. B. Price (AVaipukurau) said that the motor lorry regulalions said that no commercial vehicle should run on a Sunday. Several speakers from various counties urged that lorry traffic for commercial purposes should not be allowed on Sunday. Mr A. C. Russell (Waipukurau), "But the rnilwavs run 011 Sundays for profi£." 3Ir A. Harris, "Not for profit, sir." (Langhter). 3Iembers agreed that it would be unfair to penalise , cream lorry drivers or wool lorry drivers hurrying to a sale, but it was tliouglit that gen- j eral commercial lorry traffic on a ; Sunday was not right. Tlie conference ; decided to ask its inspectors and ihe police to take action in cases where commercial vehicles were being used on Sundays on work tbat was not a necessity on that particular day.

According to a Napier doctor quite a number of cases of lumbago and sciatica have been reported during the past few days iu the distriet. 'Ihe eomplaints may arise from a vanety oi causes, but as a general rule the trouble is due to a gerni infection. Ihe infection may be lielped forward by exposure to cold or by abnoraial exertion, such as over-indulgence' in golf by a man of sedentary habits. Essentiai treatment includes warmth aud rest— - the victim of acute lunibago can hardly avoid the latter, even if he would. The opinion that New Zealand had every reason to be proiul of its newspaper press, which lie considered compared very favourably both i'or liteniry style, lav-out and general attractiveness witli tb.e press of other countries, was cxpressed by Mr A. E. Houston, who has just returned from an cxtended trip to Groat Britain and Europe, to a pressman in Napier this morning. Mr Houston went further and expressed the opinion that the Press of Napier compared very favourably witli tliat, of any other town of similar size which lie visited during his travels. 3Ir Ray Hall, a popular member cf the Dannevirke Fire Brigade for the past three years, lias, left to take up a position in Wairoa.

The joint conference of Hawke's Bay counties in Napier tbis morning passed a new by-law making it necessary for persons who travel from place to place soliciting orders by tsainples to take out a hawker's licensc. One delcgate remarked amidst laughter that_ such people should be under the Nqxious Weeds Act. One deleirate asked if tlie by-law covcred tlie soller of a motor car, as he took his tmmple with him. Anotlier speaker commented that the, car salesiuen were a bigger nuisance than anyone. It was remarked. howver, that the by-law was not meant to cover car salcsmen. The question of county book-keeping wa under raview at a joint conference of Hawke's Bay counties in Napier today, when it was urged that a revised and improved system of book-keeping should he brought into foroe. Tlie chairman, 31r T- 31aison Chambers, (Hawke's Bay), remarked that 3Ir A. H. Fcrguson liad gone into the matter very thoroughly and had deyised a scheme, wliich had heen suhmitted to Sir Joseiih Ward. The conference confirmed the principle tliat a hetter and simpler system of hook-kee])ing was desirable. and it was decided to call a conference of clerks of counties to go into a scheme. Tlie fourth and final rouiul of the billiards contest bctwcen tlie Hauke s Bay Club and tbe C'osmopohtan Clun for the 3It:Lean Shiekl took place last night, resulting in a win for tho Hawke's Bay Club by three games to two.

It is reported that the advent of talking and sound synehronised picture is proving to be a matter of serious moment to country town picture theatre managers, particularly to those showmen wlio provide oue, two, or three perfonnaiices only per week. The case is not so bad in remote parts. but where such sinai 1 towng or hamlets are within an hour or so's'run of a town where talkies are shown nightly tbe effect 'is noticeable, for a good proportiou of tlie patrons who formerly relied upon tbe local houses for their entertainment now motor pfF to the talkies rather than yatroni.se the local "silent'" houses. 3*et tho sound equipment is as a rule much trx> expensive for sinai! men to instal. so that it may be truly said that tliev liave to suffer in silence. Whether or not- sucb equip-nieiu-s may become ceonoinieaHy possible in sniall towns is a matter time aloue will doeide. T11 the meantime silence is not golden for the smalltown sliowman. Tlie quesiton of licavy traffic fees for lorries engaged in carting fruit was considered at length at the joint county conference in Napier to-dav, when it was urged that the fruit growers had onlv ligbt lorries wliich tl",v used onl.v ahout three months of the year. and it was consicjcred a little unfair tliat those people should have to pav a heavy traffic fee for occasionallv going over the weiglit limit. It was pointed out, however, tliat if fraitgrowers were exenipted dairy farmers who used ligbt lorries for earting cream aud similar products would also desiro an exemption. It was also pointed out that service cars earrymg a load of ever two tons would desire rcdress. Tlie conference rejected a resolution asking the Govermnent to make tlie limit for exemption two ancl a half tons, instoacl of two tons, for lorries used by primarv producers earting their own products, to tlie railwav or tlie market, on it being- pointed out that fruitgrowers and others who used lorries only in certain busy seasons could take out quarterlv licenses for their lorries. 1NFLUENZA ' IS PREVALENT IN NAPIER. How is it that influenza is so prevalent? In the days of our ancestoriT spiees wero much more largely used. klulled wines and ales, hot punches were infused strongly witli Cinnamon. Influenza was almost unknown. An authorit.v at the Pasteur T.aboratory in Paris made the statement that no disease germ eould resist the antiseptic powers of Cinnamon.
