An announcement regarding air mail correspondence was made yesterday by the Postinaster-General (the Hon. J. B. Douald).

Such packets will also be accepted for transmission to Great Britain, Northern Ireland_, the Irish Eree State and countries' in Europe by the Karachi-London air mail sei*vice. f Lord Rothermere has written Lord Beayerbrook an important letter, declaring that as a result of eareful inquiries all over the country he has now persuaded lirmself that taxes on foreign foodstuffs are not only eeonomi- . cally_ desirable but eleetorally iiossible. Inquiries show that Empire free trade has overwhelming support- "As I believe that yours is the only policy that can save Britain from tbreatening disaster, I hail you as the ouly man who has the courage, energy and vision to give the country a great constructive lead, and unreservedly pledge to its support the United Empire Party of which I ain the founder," The Dannevirke Hospital Board held a special meeting on Monday evening for the purpose^ of considering pros posals for the installation of an iniproved and less ekpensive heating system than the one at present in use. After discussion the board unanimously deeided on a system of providmg hot water in the main liospital building hy means of a hoilei- scheme. Tenders are to he called for the work." A prqposal for heating the cliildren's ward is to he submitted to the Public Works Departmeut for its approval. It was further agreed that the estimated cost of each scheme be not made public in view of the fact that tenders are to be called for tlie work. That there was no reason for ihe association to change its present name was the effect of a remit from Waikato dopted by ihe N.Z.R.S.A., afc Wellington iasfc night. The president (Majoi;-GeneraI Sir Andrew Russell) said he would nevertheless like to see the name of the association changed to3 "the N.Z, Ex-Service League.'' The/ . name "Reiurned Soldiers' Association" was an absolute misnomer, because the association dealfc nqt only_ with returned soldiers, but with sailors and exImperial men from Home. "I think even school children know what is meant by R.S.A.," said Mr B- J. Jacobs (Wellington.) "I think were We to ahandon the goodwill we have earned with the coirimunity throughout New Zealand in# favour of no matter what name, it would be a foolish step and a retrograde one."

Tlie presence of hundreds of seagulls round oue spot on the heach near the Napier Municipal Baths atti aeted the attention ot pasers-by thi3 morning. At first it appeared that they were diving and swooping at some form of fish which Iiad ventured near to the shore, hut 011 closer investigation it .was revealed that the subject of their attentions was an* inoft'eiisive duck which was in too weak a cqnclition to raise its somewhat emaciated body from the surfaee of the water. The gulls took immediate exception to thii encroaclnnent on their doiyain and iristituted a concerted air raid upon the unfortunate bird below, upon which they would drop like a bolt from the blue before swooping up again into the sky, which .was filled^ by their raucous cries. Their compaign, hovever, was brought to an abrupt conclusion when one of those who had watched the unfair encounter entered the fray on hehalf of the weak-r cause and, ignoring tlie fact that the sea washed about In's feet, strode out and rescued the duck' from its unenviable position. 'Ihe bird placod firinly under his arm. he retraced his steps to the Marine Parade, whiTe the gulls, infr.riated at being robbed of their prey, wheeled clisgustedly nbove and uttered their protest in shrill screams before seeking other hunting grounds.
