A smile went round the reception at the Midland yesterday, .when Lady Cowan, who had made a vivid and earnest appeal to.all to loyally support the British Navy,- and specially the base at Singapore, was at a loss to find a suitable word to express her ideas of those who preach disarmament 'in season and out of season, without the proper and full consideration, for the safetjj of the Empire. Finally she decided to call these people "gentleminded," at which there was some laughter and applause; Impressions of Rotorua. Lady Cowan, at the Navy League reception yesterday, spoke very amusingly of her impressions of the thermal district. She was greatly interested'in Botorua, and admired the district immensely,, but the great "blowhole" on the way to Wairakei impressed her greatly. ''It was terrific," said Lady Cowan. "I had no idea that there was such a terrible force pent up beneath the earth. All my repent-ed-of actions fled: through my mind, and: I wondered if it were indeed a picture of the nether regions! I am sure the people of that district should: be very good with such an- object-lesson always before them." Lady Cowan later spoke quaintly of her effort's to get some women appointed tc the main committee* of the. Navy League, in London. She felt that it was not quite a dignified position for the women who worked so faithfully to be merely relegated to the position of making, or providing, the money to be spent for the various good works attended to by the league, and to have no voice whatever in the spending, of it. Sho felt that their advice was needed often, and she was glad that the league had got out of the groove of having separate committees of men and women, but now worked together, one understanding the work of the other. The Ministering Angel. Shortly after noon on Monday, in Worcester street, a middle-aged man, who was riding placidly down the road, was taken with a sudden seizure, reports the "Sun." He fell from his bicycle, and lay unconscious on the ground. Several men in motor-car 3 sailed past, and it was not until a girl, aged about 17 or 18, came up that the man received any attention. She got hime somehow on to the grass in Latimer square, made a pillow of her coat, and loosened his clothing. A small crowd gathered round, but the girl seemed tho only one not frightened to go near. Since., ho lay still unconscious, she suggested: "Take him over to my place, just across tho road. I've got a chum there who's a bit of a nurse. She's ill in bed just now, but she'll get up and set the poor fellow to rights." Rumania's Boy King. - Tho five-year-old King Michael of Eumania will pass the summer at Sinaia while the Court is in mourning. His lifo has only.been slightly altered by his accession.
