J, Murphy .for £16 18s XOd. The former did not take judgment as reported, and we take this opportunity of correcting the error. • ;■ Evidence of the approach of the Rugby season in Hawke's Bay is provided by the fact that several players have already commenced preliminary traming operations. On Tuesday night one well-known senior club in Napier had over a dozen of its players trainirtg on McLean Park engaged in practice operations, The value of "wanteds" as an advertising medium in an evening news-' paper was again exemplified in Wanganui when a busness man inserted an advertise'ment for a shop girl. . The first applicant ar.rived at the shop a few minutes after the paper was printed and throughout the evening and again the next ijiorning the business man had a steady stream of applicants. His 'phone was also kept jingling merrily during the eening. "For lieaven's sake," he sgid to* a reporter, "don't repeat the advertisement again to-day, for I have had over 100 applicants already." . ' Cutlery in an excellent state of presei'vation was recovered from ihe wreck of the Union Company's steam Hawea by the New Plymouth Harbour Board diver recently. The Hawea went ashore at the poi-fc of New Plymouth on June 12, 1888. Althougb the knives, spoons and forks were in good order, the box in which they were contained was almost dest'royed by marine ga-owths, The cutlery, with a metal jug and candlestick also recovered from the wreck, is to be presented to the New Plymouth Museum, A tri'btue to the superior quality of New Zealand biitter is contained in letailers' advertisements appearing in iccqnt issues of a Hoholulu newspaper. A brand of finest quality New Zealand butter is offered at 55 cents a ponr.d, while a Californian brand is for sale 10 cents cheaper. In a special advertisement the New Zealand product is claimed to be the ' 'world' s f best butter." The newspaper, in its "market basket' column, remarks that the New Zealand butter "is priced at 55 cents a pound^ while a Californiaii brand is even lower, 45 cents a pound." In British coinage thesq prices wofild he 2s 3Jd and ls 10|d, - ' * . I Wanganui and Napier are provincial centres where ratepayers have from time to time expressed concern because the municipal tramway systems do not reutrn as much profit as some people would like, and occasionally the suggestion is advanced that the trams should be scrapped in favour of buses, as was done at Gishorae. It has been found, however, that even bus sys'tems may result in a loss, Tlie Palmerston North horough traffic inspector repoited t'o the last meeting of the council a decrease of 4120 passengers for Fehruary and £65 14s lOtl less reve'nue, compared with February, 1929. The council instructed the traffic inspector to bi'ing down a report on the adviskbility of, spbsiituting the large omnihiis.es with vehieles of a smaller' type, embodying comparative fignres coneerning runniiig costs and mainte'nance, If you asked the average New Zeahander where to find the driest place in the world, he would probably plumn for Central Australia, where rain fell last year after a drought that Iasted for seven years. The average New Zealand. would, however, be wrong, because there are some parts of South Amea'ica where a seven years' drought is nothing, and a man cap out the Psalmist'a "tliree score years .and ten" without ever seging a: drop of rain. Of course, it may rain sometimes, Lord Ernest Hamilton has described the coming of rain in Lima, the capital of PerU, 'dudng a yisit he paid there. ■"Wfe were- fortunate enough to be favoured with the only shower which Lima had enjoyed for 70 vears," he writes in his hook, "Eortyf Years On. "For five minutes it rained solid tropical rain. The terror-stricken inhabitants thought the end of the world had cpme." But if America can boast of some ' of the driest places in the world, it also contains some of the wettest. Greytown, in Nicaragua, haS had as much as 297 inches of rain in a single year.

( / Some criticism has -been passed in. returned soldiers' circles- at the delay in publishing the recommendations or . tlie Commission which mquired towards the end of last yeai' irito the position of physically and economically incapacitated soldiers and the .adequacy or otherwise of their pensions. The Gommission was given until February 10 to submit its report; hut consideration. of the recommendations has been held up owing to the visit of the Minister of t - Defenoe (the Hon. J. G. Cobhe) to Western Samoa. Mr Cobbe said in* Wellington that. he had gone through the Commission's report, and intended .to submit the proposals to - Cabinet shortly. He added tliat the report would probably be available for publication,in a fortnigbt.

The Napier Fire Brigade was again called out to a grass fire this morning, the trou'ble this time being situated on th© property of Mr C. P. Lo.und in May Avenue. A rubhish fire in the section had ignited some dry grass nearby, bnt the brigade soon extinguished the flames. "Not for many years have I known tendering to be so keen as it is at the present dUy," said a. Wanganui architect, the other day. He stated further that, though prices put in by contractors last Winter and , the previous Winter had been very keen, indications these days were tbat pricbs would be "slashed to ribbons." "Messrs E. McKenzie, N. McKenzie, A. Geddes, W. Maxwell. G. W. Nicholson'and -A.

These are the Snipe and the Imperial, both wellknown, reliahle and service-giving cars. The Tourist Motor Co., Ltd.. Hastings, and their representative, Mr J, Y. Hannay, of Napier will he pleased to receive inquiries and give full information regarding the exhibits. Mr It. E. McDougail, proprietor of Aulsebrooks, who gave £25,000 for the building of the new Art Gallery for Christchurch, has presented the first picture for the new gallery. The picture is from the collection of the Empress Eugenie and was sold sometime ago by Christie's, of London. Mr McDougail secured the picture from Mr J. W. Gidd, of Christchurch. The picture was painted in 1857 by Henerietta Drowne, and is called "The Bible JReader." It was exhibited to the Dunedin exhibition. Speaking at a valedictory function in his honour at Christchurch, Mr W. Cecil Prime, the newly-appointed employers' representative on the Arbitration Court formerly of Napier, outlined some of the principles by. which he will he guided as assessor. "± would not advise the empkryers to seek to bring ahout a reduction in wgaes," said Mr Prime. "The time is not yet opportune for a wholesale reduction. A reductiOn of wages would cause a great deal of dislocation and unrest, and in the long run I think the employers would he the loosers. Instead of bringing "wages down there should be an endeavour to cut all unnecessary restrictions with the view _ to bringing down costs. "I would like to see the employment question taken up by the Employers' A&sociation," went on Mr Prime. "A serious .aspect of the unemployment prohlem' in New Zealand is the loss of capital resulting from it." Mr Prime advocated co-operation hetween the employee and employer. He would like to see the worker get away from the idea that as soon as ;an award ran out he was entitled to [ record a "new set of claims. The annual report of the Central Hawke's Bay Rugby Sub-Dnion, which is to be presentd to the annual meeting of tbat body to-night, is as follows : — In presenting the annual report and balance-sheet, your committee are pleased to report a most sucoessful season, It will be evident to you that a large tuni has been spent in completing the new grounds this year.
