Decil Prime (employers' agent); for the employees,- Messrs IX J. House, C. Coutts, and H. Worrall (secretary). The employers submitted the present award as counter-proposals. It was set out that a week's work should not exceed 44 hours, which were to be worked between 7.30 a.m. and o p m. on fixe days in the week and between 7.30 a.m. and 12 o'clock on one day in the week.

On these conditions they would accept a 48-hour week and also the clauses in the old award relating to the employment of hoys and the payment of wages. Hie employers refused to accept the Union's offer; therefore the hours of work clause, the wages clause, employ* ment of boys clause, and the payment of wages clause were referred to the Crtnrt. The other clauses were agreed toy SCHOLARSHIP AWARD. MISS OLIVE HOWE'S CAREER. On the reoommendation of the College Committee, the Canterbury College Board of Governors yesterday approved of a Sir William Hartley scholarship being granted to Miss Olive Mary ltowe The scholarship is open to a woman who has been a student at the College for at least a year and who has obtained a Bachelor's or bomo higher degree in the University of New Zealand and has acquitted herself with silch distinction that she is capable of obtaining a Doctor's degree of an English University. The scholarship is offered every third year, and has nn annual value of £3OO. Miss ltowe has had a particularly brilliant career in her College and University course. In 1919 she qualified for the junior entrance scholarship, being under age ftt the time and gaining second place on the list. In 1920 s.lic again qualified for the scholarship, taking second place <m the list, first place being gained by Ronald Syme, an exceptionally strong candidate from Auckland, who was awarded the postgraduate scholarship in arts in 1925. In 1921 Miss Rowe gained her first section of the B.A. degree in English, Latin, French, pure mathematics, with Cojlege prizes in English, Latin, and French. In 1922 Miss 'Rowe gained her second section in Greek, with College prizes in Latin, English, French, and Greek, and was awarded the John Connnl scholarship in Latin, English, and French. In 1923 she passed the final section in English; Latin, and French, all at the advanced grade, gaining College prizes in Latin, French, and Greek. Sho gained the Senior University scholarship in English, and was also second to R. Syme in Latin and Greek. In 1924 Miss Rowe gained her M.A. degreo, with first-class honours in Latin as a single subject and seconders honours in English as a single subject, and passed in Greek at the advanced grade. In 1925 she gained additional honours invFrench (second-class) and Greek (second-class), both as single subjects. During this year she acted as assistant to the Professor of Classics. Her tutor, Professor Stewart, reported as follows: "Miss Rowe's University career (single honours in four subjects) has been unprecedented, • Her record would have been still more brilliant had she not had. the misfortune to compete throughout her scholarship career against a prodigy in the person of Syroe. Her work has throughout been marked by scholarship, taste, accuracy; she has unusual powers of intense application, a sense of humour, Mid anexceptionally retentive J beg to recommend her most strongly foi the post-graduate scholarship in Arts." It may be added that she li;>s taken her full share of work in the social life of the College, and in paiticular has for three years been largely responsible for the production of the "Canterbury College Review." ANZAC DAY AT BURWOOD. On Friday afternoon, the children and teachers of the Burwood School held a very impressive ceremony at the Soldiers' Memorial Column, when thirty-fiye wreaths were placed at its base. The children were marched to the monument, where the headmaster, Mr L. B. Bradstock, addressed them. He explained the meaning and origin of Anzac, and showed why Anzac Day shpuld be observed. On Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, a service was held at -the church, when a large congregation heard a very impressive sermon preached by the Rev. C. A. Tobin. At tbo conclusion of the service a procession was formed, and the whole congregation marched to the memorial, when further wreaths were placed upon it, after which the Benediction was pronounced. THAT AFTER-DINNER PAIN. DANGER AHEAD. That after-dinner pain—it may be only a slight twitch or just an uncomfortable feeling of fullness—is a sure indication that your digestive organs are not functioning properly, and it is Nature's • method of saying "Danger ahead," Everything has a beginning. Indigestion, gastritis, heartburn, and similar digestive disorders commence with Blight pains after eating. If neglected the trouble quickly develops. Not only does tho pain become well-nigh unbearable, but vomiting, loss of weight, and lack of energy follow, and an all-round breaking-up process sets in. Far wiser is it to take Anti-Acido now, and so prevent more serious complications. Anti-Acido stops the fermentation of food in the stomach, dispels the gases, overcomes acidity, and soothes the irritated membranes. You can eat as mueh as you like of whatever you like. Your food nourishes and strengthens you, and vigorous health is enjoyed. 2s 6d, chemists and stores. —1 Pears, plums, peaches, grapes, and melons are included in the fruit cargo of a liner itfhich recently reached Britain from South Africa.
