Cables from London say that the Paisley cinema panic on Kew Year's , Day, fesulting in tbe death of seventy 'children, has caused the Renfrewshiro ■ education authoraty to strongly demand legislation to ensure that only non-inflammable films are used ' when the spectators are majnly children. ! Seventy-eight similar * authorities throughout the country, also the National Union of Teachers, passed similar resolutions and forwarded mofions to the Prime Minister. Gable messages say that a feature " of the proceedings at the National i Council of Free Churches at Nottingham was an appeal by 'the Rev. B. Pyke, of Plymouth, for a new religigus crusade. , He bemoaned half filled churches, declaring that a large part of England had lapsed into semiheathenism.

He was much impressed with its quality and said he would be glad to purchase it if he could when be returned home. "Why," he asked, "do you allow your splendid butter to be used in the Gld Country for blending pnrposes, instead of selling it direct to the consumer? You are by your present methods merely. strengthening the hands of your eompetitors who manufacture an inferior article." i A cahle from * .Chicago recalls that twenty years ago an Irishman and a Swede, Mike O'Toole and Chris Larsen, could not settle a dispute over • £5.0, so they took it to a bank manager_ and told him to keep the money until they settled the quarrel. To-day the investment has grown to £1000. The cable sayg that the bank got into touch with Larsen. who loftily declined a seiilement. Then 'ihe bank summoned O'Toole, who has turned seventy He used the blarney so successfully tbat the ioint owners went to the nearest speak-easy and spent an hour jn drinks and negotiation.

For th'e past year or so he has been accustomed to eat eggs, but they were all frozen, and the pernliarity of a frozen egg is that the yellow yolk steadfastlv refuses to thaw out, in spite of cooking, the result being an expanse of white with a . bali of ohstinate yellow perched' on top. "One of my pleasures to-morrow," said Mr Owen, "will be giving the other fellows in their rough togs the £once over' and watchinp them and listening to them when they sight the first buneh of trees and see the first street car," The loss by retirements of many good and efficient Government officers was deplorecbby the Minister of Publio Works (the Hon. E. A. Ransom) in the course of his speech at a farewell iunction in honour of Mr G. Halliday (Land Purchase officer), of the Pubhc Works Department. It was a loss to the country, he said. when men of long and tried experience and ability left the service at a period when Ministers of the Crown were finding them most useful. However, there were always other officers qualifying for the positions being vacated, and it wotild nqt be fair if they were mevented from.. securing advancement bv the continued service of those above them. After a man had served for 40 years in the Government employ, he deserved a holiday. Endorsing the Minister's remarks, Mr F. W. Furkert. head of the Department, said. it was a pity that when officers became of real value in th© service and attained efficiency which enabled them to be relied upon, they then had to move off and make room for other s.
