"Pay as you park" is the rule on streets of Oklahoma City, United Stales. The city has installed receiving machines along the kerb, and as the motorist leaves his car he drops a coin in the slot. A clocklike contrivance raises a red indicator that stays in position for the allotted time. Policemen issue summonses to owners of cars parked with no indicator showing.

AT THE SHOW INTERESTING AND EDUCATIONAL EXHIBITS FUN FOR ALL There were no dull moments at the Agricultural and Pastoral Association's! Shew at Addingtcn yesterday. The weather was perfect and there was much to interest and entertain visitors of all ages and of varied tastes. Sheep, pigs, and horses, machinery of all kinds, dogs, and fowls, and for the less serious minded, side-shows in bewildering variety. The stands were crowded with spectators for the jumping, which proved a great attraction, and it was particularly pleasing to see so many small girls and boys riding wiln skill and confidence, and witn very evident enjoyment. On every side were to be met eager, joyous children, proudly carrying dolls and gaiiy coloured biras, and tugging at the restraining hands of less eager motners or mucn less joyous fathers—a few amused, some very bored, most exuding seii-satisiaction, their expressions saying, more plainly than words, "Could unseilisnness and paternal devotion go further than mine does at present'.'''

This might be regarded as evidence that the influence of old Egypt had spread to this Pacific island.
